HEREFORD, MARCH 28. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice PARK.) JONES V. NICHOLS. Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW said, this was an action O r a malicious prosecution. The plaintiff in 1826 `~ a rried on business as a cabinet-maker at Swansea, partnership with a Mr. Edwards, and became 'embarrassed in their circumstances ; the present de fendant, who Yves a creditor of th e pl a i nt iff, cause d hies to be arrested for the sum of 40/., and judg ment was t } ',erenpon entered for 631., the increase fl/ei nf; for l'ne costs of the action. The plaintiff sub ;ol,e","'nthi took the benefit of the Insolvent Act, and d his discharge. In his schedule, he returned , 84 5 e bt of 63/. as due to the defendant, for which d e 1, although he h a d o b ta i ne d hi s di sc h arge, the , re e a dant sued out a fresh writ, the defendant stir „ 'r :7 ll !red in discharge of his bail, and was confined in t';,e al for n ear l y six weeks. , thit .' Ir. CA MPBELL, f or t h e defendant, contended that action could not be maintained, for that he uld call witnesses to prove that, when this writ hrs sued out by the defendant's attorney, the E d er-sheriff was instructed not to issue execution, Process being in order to fix the bail. :I:Mr. Justice PARK—Mr. Campbell, I will not tell 4 1 wh at e ff ect this has upon my mind, but I have 1 opinion : t hi s poor man was unjustly confined in 101 for 38 days, by the folly of this gentleman and h e tinder-Sh er iff , and I think they ought to have ' their heads knocked together for it. • obj Mr. MAULE tendered some evidence which was ', te ected to by Mr. Sergeant Ludlow; which oh eti" his Lord s hi p a ll owe d .

Mr. Justice PARK—I have said it, Mr. Manic, and have ruled it, and I will not accept it. His Lord ship then recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury Zeturned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages 40/. DIBDIN'S MONUMENT. About s i x years ago Dr. Kitchiner, and a few ' le nds of the late Charles Dibdin, formed them- Ives int o a C ommittee for the pm pose of raising a Bubscription to defray the expe nce o f erecting a konurnent to his memory. Mr. Sievier, the sculp tor, submitted a design, which was approved of, and ail order was given him to proceed. I n 1824, a emnd festival was given at the Freemason s ' H a ll, 'which w as attended by upwards of 400 persons, in 'eluding Braham, and about forty vocalists, who sang ~k o n t lolber of Dibdin's songs, to the infinite delight tile company. Sir Joseph Yorke presided on the t e esion. A num b er o f G ent l emen put down their , 4 1+es as S u b scr ib ers — many pa id at t h e t i me ; but he total amount actually received was 2691. 65., I pit of which th e . extra expences of the di nner , print % advertising, &c. &c. was defrayed. In conse quence of the death of many of the original pro- Posers, nothing was done to further the monument, e xcept t h at the Artist was completing it, until lately; When another Committee was formed, and Admiral ,!! 1 ' Joseph Yorke appoi n t e d Ch a i rman, t h roug h M',nose interest permission was granted to place the on ument in Greenwi c h H os pit a l, an d i n or d er to rnunerate the Sculptor, who had only received 1 001 • on account it was resolved to g i ve a gran d 4 dra matic and musical performance at C oven t G ar d en 4 eatee an T ues d a y A pr il t h e 7 t h , the whole to nSist of Dibdin's compositions.

AWCUTION OF WILLIAM JENNINGS AT 4 l'iltirr.—Since the condemnation of this unfortunate .4ti th (only 17 years of age), the worthy chaplain, the 9. EDW.

This morning the Earl of ELDON had a long audience of his MAJESTY. The object of the Noble and Learned Lord's intet view was the presentation of petitions. It lasted from half -past twelve till four o'clock. Mr. CHANTEY has placed a very fine bust of his MAJESTY on the landing of the Royal en trance which leads to the corridor, and the corridor itself has been lately adorned with a new bust of the Duke of WELLINGTON. The Rev. Dr. BLOMBERG arrived at the Castle to-night, and will officiate to-morrow in the King's closet. The private band have orders to attend tomorrow night. The KING remains in good health, but there has been little company at the Castle in the course of the week.— Windsor Express, saturday. On Saturday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, the Earl of ELDON arrived at the King's Palace, 'Windsor, from London. The Noble Earl notified to the Page in waiting his request to have the honour of an audience of his MAJESTY. His Lordship was admitted into the presence of the KING soon after 12 o'clock, the KING being particularly engaged at the time of the arrival of the Noble Earl. This is the first interview the Noble and Learned Lord has had of his MAJESTY since his re signation of the office of Loan CHANCELLOR. The audience lasted near four hours, during which time the Noble Earl presented to the KING sixty petitions against the Bill in Parliament for removing civil disabilities from the Roman Catholics. At twenty minutes past four o'clock the Earl of ELDON left the King's Palace, on his return to London. Yesterday the Duke of CUMBERLAND and he Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Princess AUG CSTA. His MAJESTY received despatches at his Palace at Windsor, on Friday night, from the Duke of WELLINGTON. Mr. Secretary PEEL visited the Duke of WELLINGTON on Saturday at the Treasury. On Saturday night a King's messenger was sent off from the Foreign Office to Naples. The Lords of his Majesty's most. Honourable Privy Council had a meeting at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning at the Council Office, Whitehall. Those present were, the Lord President of the Council, the Chief Justices of England, Lord MANNERS, and Sir GEORGE ROSE. The following cases of appeal were set down for hearing before their Lordships :—" APTarvy and Co. v. Dawson," from Demerara ; " Advocate-General v. executors of Ame chand," from Bombay ; " Maitland v. Gerrard," from Lower Canada; and "Barrett v. Barrett," from Jamaica. Of these, the two first only were argued before their Lord ships. The consideration of these causes occupied their Lordships till half-past four o'clock, when they adjourned. NT. BERMUDEZ, the Spanish Minister, and Baron Bueow, the Prussian Minister, had interviews with the Earl of ABERDEEN on Saturday, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Earl of ELDON arrived this morning, at half-past two, at the White Hart tavern, in his carriage and four. The seats of the carriage were stuffed with pe titions, which, to judge from their weight (for they re quired a strong fellow to carry them up to the Castle), must needs have been on tie Catholic question. His Lordship, it is stated, had an appointment with his MA JESTY at eleven, but he was not admitted in the royal pre seence until an hour and half after that time, after which he remained closetted with:the KING until four. His Lord ship appeared to be in very good health and remarkably well pleased with the result of his visit. After leaving the Castle-yard he proceeded on foot to his carriage at the double-gates, followed by a number of the inhabitants, who testified their respect by plaudits and waving of hats. TVindsor Express of Saturday. The KING is said to have been highly amused at the Duke of WELLINGTON'S relation of the affair be tween himself and Lord WING HILSEA last Saturday morning ; so much so, that on his Grace's concluding, his MAJESTY indulged in a hearty laugh.__ Windsor Express. The following conversation is stated, upon pretty good authority, to have recently taken place between the First Personage in the State and the greatest and 'Host favoured of his Ministers :—" I was not aware, ARTHUR, that MURRAY was so superior a speaker. I thought him a gallant and a clever fellow ; but, until this same Catholic Question, I did not know that lie was a finished orator." The reply of the PREHIER was to the following effect : " I feel great admiration, but no surprise, at Sir GEORGE'S speech. I knew him to be one of the first, if not the very first soldier in Europe; and I also knew, that if they could only contrive to draw it out of him, he could speak quite as well as he can fight." No wonder that the speech which gave rise to such commentaries in such quarters should be the subject of general conversation and eulogiutn. We understand that the whole of the sum of 214,000/., which has been lately granted by a vote of the House of Commons for Windsor Castle, was not intended to be applied to the carrying on the works, but that a great portion of it is reserved to pay for thefurniture and fitting-up of the King's state apartments.— Windso r Express. ELECTIONEERING HOAX.— During the late contest for Newark, a person waited upon a physician of great eminence in London, and informed him be had been sent express to request his immediate attendance on a great northern Peer, who had been taken seriously ill on the road to London ; a chaise and four was ordered, and the messenger saying lie must return with the physi cian they set off together at full speed. lOn reaching Newark the messenger made an excuse for a temporary absence, but not returning as expected the physician be came impatient, and on inquiry it was discovered his com panion had, in the interval, given his vote at the hustings, and immediately quitted the town on a coach that was passing through, leaving the indignant and astonished M.D. to proceed north, or to return to London at his leisure. It is said that the gentlemen of the long robe are likely to have something to do in the ensuing Term, in a case which will excite some interest, na•nely, between Mr. COOIILAN, proprietor of our theatre, and Mr. BONN, the lessee of the Dublin theatre, and Mrs. WAYLETT, for breach of engagement on the part of the latter, who agreed to perform twelve nights in this city, but subsequently broke it off. Miss FOOTE has left Mr. BUNK, the Dublin lessee, at Cork, and complains that she, au unprotected female, has been oppressed and harrassed by his agents, and refused a benefit. —Limerick Chronicle. Our eleven o'clock coach brought in as whim sical a lead this morning as ever paid inside fair. Among the company were two or three Irish Catholics, headed by Mr. O'GoE3t AN , th e " Lib erator, " who sat cheek-by jowl by the Rev. Mr. TURNER, who is well known for his staunch Anti-Catholic principles. Upon the coach getting .‘ off the stones," the Irish orator and the Rev. Divine happened very naturally to light upon the one question which is generally represented as possessing such universally absorbent properties, and which, in this in stance, engrossed the attention of the company until their arrival in Windsor. We understand the question was handsomely debated, eliciting unusual powers of reasoning on both sides, and that the gentlemen parted with a mutual good opinion of each other's sound sense and mo• deration. Mr. O'GoEstAri, after his arrival, had an in terview with the Marquis CONTNGIIAM at the Castle, which lasted for nearly two hours. The orator and his friends were afterwards escorted to the Castle-inn by Mr. O'REILLY, where they partook of refreshments.— lVindsor Express. One of the Brunswick Papers, which piques itself upon its obstinate resistance to truth, in whatever shape truth can approach it, has called upon the Loan MAYOR to resign his seat in Parliament, on the ground that he had violated the promise which he had made to his constituents at his election, not to vote in favour of the Catholics. Now it happens, unfortunately for this invi tation, that the Loan MAYOR made no promise whatever upon that occasion, as the proceedings at the hustings will testify. It will he remembered, that Alderman Woon distinctly pointed out to the Livery that Alderman T7IO3IV SON had given no pledge of the sort. But the Brunswick print knew better than Alderman Woon, or the electors, or the LORD MAYOR himself, each and all of whom are aware that no such promise was mark. It can scarcely be necessary to mention, that the advice which accompanied the mis-statement is not likely to be attended to, under all the circumstances. NATURAL HISTORY.—Last week, a hen belonging to Mr. W. Lucns, Bridge of Allan, near Fal kirk, laid an egg, which having been slightly boiled, and served to breakfast, was bound to contain a common white pea, quite sound and uninjured. The ingenuous disco_ veer of this ovarial pea being anxious to ascertain whether it might not still retain its vegetating power—set it in the garden, and was agreebly surprised on finding that the genial influence of the spring weather had actually induced a healthy shoot to spring forward, seemingly quickened from the novel transit it bad undergone.—Scotsman. CATHOLIC QUESTION. (From No. I, of the Aberdeen Observer.) The concessions to the Catholics are not propo sed on account of any prediliction for their religion, but with a view of terminating those unhappy dis sensions which have so long prevailed in Ireland ; and whatever difference of opinion may exist as to the policy of the ►neasure, the design must be ad mitted to be laudable. It is, on the other hand, not opposed, at least, by the intelligent part of the community,because it is either consistent with justice or Christianity to impose civil disabilities on account of religious opinions, but from the dread, that, if equal rights were granted to the Catholics, they would, by the industry and cunning of their priests, re-establish their religion, and act the same persecuting part as their ancestors. It is as serted, that their principles are unchanged, and that they will never be satisfied until they obtain pos session of the church-lands, which they consider were unjustly wrested from them at the Reformation. Now, supposing that these are the wishes of the Ca tholics, the question, and the only question, worth dis cussing is, will the proposed measure have the effect of making their system the national religion of this country ? When the Catholics had the ascendancy they could not preserve it, and how an insignificant minority will obtain possession of power does not very clearly appear. Protestants term the Catholic religion idolatrous, and maintain that its doctrines and practices are contradictory to common sense ; from such a system of religion, then, what is there to dread ? By the light derived from the transla tion of the Scriptures, the unjust pretensions, and domineering spirit of the Catholic religion were made visible, and, by the force of truth, it was overthrown by Protestants, amidst persecution, and under the most unpromising circumstances. The same causes, therefore, which operated to overturn that system of religion, will, it is presumed, for ever prevent it from regaining the ascendancy in this country. It is exceedingly injudicious to admit, that granting the Catholics equal rights will subvert the Protestant religion; for it is a tacit admission, that it cannot stand upon its own merits, if unsupported by exclusive privileges.— Great alarms about the subversion of each of the Na tional Churches in this Island, were expressed at the union of England and Scotland. The Presby terians were opposed to the Union, from the appa rently well-founded dread, that the hierarchy of England would be extended to Scotland, to the de struction of their religious establishment ; while the Episcopalians, on their part, considered that their church would be subverted by the sixteen Presbv teriau Peers and the forty-five Members of the House of Commons about to be introduced into Parliament. These fears have passed away, and, as respected Scotland, they were certai►►ly more natural than the alarms expressed on the present occasion. The inhabitants of this part of the country have a religious establishment of which they have reason to be proud ; and therefore it is not to be wondered at that they should be jealous of any measure which they may honestly believe tends to its subversion It would be found, however, that if any attempt were made by " Italian priests to tithe and toll in our dominions," that all parties would unite, and with the undaunted spirit of their forefathers, suc cessfully resist such an encroachment on their righis arid privileges. A NAVAL EXECUTION. " The fatal morning came. It was eight o'clock. The gun fired—the signal for punishment flew at our mast-head. The poor men gave a deep groan, ex claiming Lord have mercy upon us I—our earthly career and troubles are nearly over 1' The master at arms came in, unlocked the padlock at the end of the bars, and, slipping off the shackles, desired the marine sentinels to conduct the prisoners to the quarter deck. " Here was a scene of solemnity which I hardly dare attempt to describe. The day was clear and beautiful; the top-gallant yards were crossed on board of all the ships; the colours were flying; the crews were all dressed in white trowsers and blue jackets, and hung in clusters, like bees, on the side of the rigging facing our ship; a guard of marines, under arms, was placed along each gangway, but on board our ship they were on the quarter deck. Two boats from each ship lay off upon their oars alongside of us, with a lieu tenant's and a corporal's guard in each, with fixed bayonets. The hands were all turned up by the boatswain and his mates with a shrill whistle, and calling down each hatchway, ' All hands attend punishment !' _ " You now heard the quick trampling of feet up the ladders, but not a word was spoken. The prisoners stood on the middle of the quarter-deck, while the Captain read the sentence of the court martial and the order from the Commander-in-Chief for the execution. The appropriate prayers and psalms having been read by the chaplain, with much feeling and devotion, the poor men were asked if they were ready; they both replied in the affirma tive, but each requested to have a glass of wine, which was instantly brought. They drank it off; bowing most respectfully to the Captain and Officers, • " The arms of the prisoners were then pinioned, and the chaplain led the way, reading the funeral service; the master-at-arms, with two marine sen- tinels, conducted them along the starboard gangway to the forecastle; here a stage was erected on either side, over the cathead, with steps to ascend to it ; a till block was attached to the boom iron, at the outer extremity of each fore-yard arm, and through this a rope was rove, one end of which came down to the stage. The other was led along the yard into the catharpings, and thence down upon the main deck. A gun was primed and ready to fire, on the fore part of the ship, directly beneath the scaffold. " I attended poor Strange to the very last mo ment ; he begged me to see that the halter, which was a piece of line, like a clothes' line, was properly made fast round his neck, for lie had known men suffer dreadfully from the want of this precaution. A white cap was placed on the head of each man, and when both mounted the platform, the cap was drawn over their eyes. They shook hands with me, with their messmates, and with the chaplain, assur ing him that they died happy, and confident in the hopes of redemption. They then stood still while the yard ropes were fixed to the halter by a toggle in the running noose of the latter; the other end of , the yard ropes were held by some twenty or thirty men on each side of the main -deck, where two lieu tenants of the ship attended. " All being ready, 'the captain waved a white handkerchief, the gun fired, and in an instant the poor fellows were seen swinging at either yard-arm. They had on blue jackets and white trowsers, and were remarkably fine-looking young men. They did not appear to suffer any pain, and at the expira tion of an hour, the bodies were lowered down, placed in coffins, and sent on shore for interment." —From the Naval Officer. The trustees on the Dalkeith district of roads have resolved to build a splendid new bridge over the Tyne, near the valve of Pathead, on the great Lauder road. It is to consist of five arches, each fifty feet in span, and as there is a steep declivity at the spot selected for the erection, it is intended that the arches shall be of suck a height as to render the passage across the river quite level.—Edinburph Paper. A lithographic caricature has appeared under the title of •' The True Holy Alliance storming the For tress of Superstition," in which the ducal and mitred par tisans of "No Popery" are endeavouring, with their ar tillery, to make a stand against the assault of the cham pions of emancipation. Though strongly fortified, and supported by the great Cumberland bomb, they seem to be in dreadful dismay at the formidable and evidently irre sistible attack of their assailants. The design is clever and well-executed. In the back -ground are the shades of some of the former advocates and opponents of the great work of political justice now about to be accomplished. Thus this piece may he said to contain portr a it s o f b ot h the dead and the living who have taken any di st i ngu i shed part in this measure. LITERATURE. YESTERDAY IN IRELAND.—LoNnox, 1829. Mr. Crowe, the author of these entertaining and instructive volumes, is the same gentleman who some few months ago published " To-clay in Ireland," a work replete with local information f every sort, and much and deservedly admired for its very accurate sketches of Irish character. The present tales, consisting of two, entitled " Corramahon," and " The Northerns of 1798," profess to be a sequel of the foregoing ones, and to illustrate Irish peculiarities of past times on the same principle, and in the same style, that the others show forth the national habits and customs of the present. The plot of Corramahon, which is the longest and most characteristic tale of the present series, is some what hurried and desultory ; it is something to the following effect :—A Major Roger O'Mahon, (an Irishman every inch of him), the descend ant of a long line of illustrious ancestry, after fighting for many years in the service of the Grand Monarque (as Louis XIV. is usually styled), feels a natural anxiety to return home to his paternal roof Corramahon, and accordingly quits France for that purpose, and arrives in Dublin somewhere about the year 1713, at which pe riod the incidents of the tale are laid. After staying in the Irish metropolis, of whose ex cited habits and peculiarities a slight but forcible sketch is given, fbr a few days, he sets off for Corramahon, which he finds in the possession of hiS elder brother Ignatius. Here he contrives to become acquainted (but not without many misgivings) with the family of his house's enemy, Sir Christopher Burton, a staunch bill liberal Protestant, into whose hands the vas domains of Corramahon have fallen. After a variety of domestic adventures, which serve as mere pegs to illustrate the state of Ireland at the period of which Mr. Crowe treats, Major O'Mahon is finally married to Anastasia Bur ton, the daughter of Sir Christopher, and becomes, of course, as happy as most men are under such circumstances. We have here, we should premise, merely sketched the lead ing features of a tale which is full of incident and underplot, all, however, tending visibly to one end—the instruction of the English reader, by placing before him the calami ties under which Ireland has always laboured from an ungenerous Protestant ascendancy. Viewed in this light alone, Mr. Crowe's tales will richly repay perusal : they are a fine practi -1 cal answer to Mr. Sadler's plans for the regene ration of Ireland, and arc worth at least a dozen bulky pamphlets on that subject. As far as character is concerned, the work abounds in it. We have first the two brothers, Ignatius and Roger O'Mahon, the travelled and untravelled Irish chieftains, put in fine contrast to each other ; the Protestant society at Sir Christopher Burton's; the admirably sketched low Irish attorney, M'Crosky ; the wild Rapparee, Ulick O'iNlore; the Protestant military dandy and libertine, Major Willomore ; and last, not least, the graceful and affecting character of that untu tored child of nature, Rachel O'Malion, daugh ter of the chief Ignatius. In addition to the dra matis posonce, the tale is replete with thought ; shrewd practical observations, the result of deep and varied reflection, abound ill every chapter, and prove that its author, though he throws off his aphorisms in a most unassuming, sententious, and sometimes negligent manner, has it in his power to add the character of philosopher and metaphysician to that of novelist. We give the following cursory hints, with which we must con clude our analysis, as a proof of the truth of our remarks. " The Chef and Rachel had by this time mounted. Their fresh and impatient horses soon bore them to the scene of joyous tumult; and the peering eyes of the be holders from the old port of Corramahon soon ceased to distinguish them amongst the crowd of pursuers. Amongst them, however, they were soon noticed, and by no means with welcome. Party and religious bigotry were eve❑ there to poison the naturally frank and generous feelings of the sporting-field. In the minds of the squirealty, small and great, who followed the chace, the Papists were a de graded race, which, nevertheless, they felt compelled to fear and to hate, more than to contemn. They knew that the degradation under which the Catholics suffered was merely the work of law and statute, and that these once evaded, the naturally superior claims of the said Papists to respect, both as more ancient in birth and more powerful in right throughout the land, would cast them into the se cond place. And therefore the ruling Williamites regarded the least infringement of the penal statutes in favour of their enemies, as endangering at once their supremacy, their dignity, and safety. The aim of the Protestant party was to elevate themselves into the gentry of the na tion, and at the same time to sink the Catholics into the serfs, as the Normans did with regard to the Anglo- Saxons, and as the Francs had served the Gauls. " The means by which the modern and self-entitled con querors of Ireland attempted this was borrowed, as well as the policy itself, from those remote times. Then, the possession of a horse was the characteristic of the noble : the gentry were equestrian, the base-horn pedestrian. And on this principle was introduced the law which forbade to the use of Catholics any steed that could be applied to no bler uses than agriculture. This was one cf the many modes, one too perfectly in unison with those chivalric principles on which modern gentility is founded, that was put in force not more than a century back to reduce the Roman Catholics of Ireland to Helotism. "As the use of fire-arms was at the same time denied them, they were excluded from all means of rural and gentle amusement. And for fear, it may be supposed, lest this prohibition from manly exercises, should have the effect of turning the attention of the degraded caste to the cultivation of their minds, education, either abroad or at home, was by other edicts as expressly denied them. The natural consequences were, that Catholic youths became, in many instances, such mean wretches as the heir of O'lllahon, or else, if holding still to honesty and to their .' native pride, they united these to an ignorance, a narrow ness, and a want of cultivation that rendered them barba rous, and tarnished even the national virtues. If the per secuted thus degenerated, the persecutors did no less so. If mean submission, or barbarous vindictiveness was the eternal lesson which circumstances instilled into those, in humanity, and bigotry, and prejudice were, by the same circumstances, blended with the characters of these. For history establishes no truth more fully than this, that slavery debrutes the enslaver as much as the enslaved, and that the forger of fetters always sinks morally to the rank of him whom he compels to wear them." FIRE AT CAMBERWELL. -INQUEST ON THE BODIES. —An inquest was held on Saturday on the bodies of the three unfortunate sufferers who fell victims to this destructive fire. Verdict—" Accidental Death." WHIST EXTRAORDINARY._A game at whist was played a few evenings ago, at Brampton, the singularity of which is worth recording :—The winners scored eight by honours in the first and second deals, los ing the odd trick each deal ; the third deal they gained the odd trick, the honours divided ; the fourth, fifth, and sixth deals, they held four by honours each deal, (losing the odd trick the fourth and fifth, and gaining the sixth deal,) snaking twenty by honours held by one party in one game before they could win it, although good players.—Lea mington Spa Courier. CHANCERY BAR. We some time since directed public attention to the extravagant nature of the monopoly attempted to be maintained by the senior members of the Chancery Bar. These Gentlemen insist not merely that the business in which they are engaged shall, while they are present, be transacted before that entrusted to their junior brethren, but they would also have the Vice-Chancellor to stand still while they are absent. In consequence of the abuse growing out of this usurpation on the part of the Seniors, Sir L. Shadwell found himself on a recent occasion, as he had often been before, without any business before the Court, the Counsel retained in all the causes in his paper being engaged in the House of Lards ; and with a vigour not very usual in his Hono ur , h e f ort h w i t h i ssued an order direct ing that all causes in which the Counsel were not ready should be struck out of the paper. Hereupon Mr. Sugden, with a naiveté worthy of Lord Eldon in his happiest hour, comes forward with a grave complaint, protesting that he could not be expected to give up all Appeals in the House of Lords, though he had relinquished the Scotch and Lis!), and mo destly concludes by proposing, that instead of pe remptorily striking out the causes, for which Mr. Sugden might not find it convenient to attend, the Court should go up and down the list, and spend its time in fishing for something to do, until he (Mr. Sugden) can return. Arid pray why may not Mr. ugden be expected to make his election between the House of Lords and the Vice-Chancellor's Court—or for what purpose is there a plurality of Equity Courts but that they shall proceed, pari passe, each in its separate department, at one and the same time with the business of the country ? if we are to have but one set of practitioners, we need have but one Court. Having had the courage to make his present order, we hope the Vice-Chan cellor will have the virtue and firmness to maintain it.—Morning Chronicle. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

This old " servant of the public" had driven the Rockingham coach from its commencement, that is, for forty-seven years, and by his respectable and upright conduct had given great satisfaction to his employers and the public. He had remarkably good health, and seldom rested a day. For twenty-seven years he drove fifty miles a day, and for the last twenty years he drove forty-five miles a day, making the average yearly space traversed by him as a driver 17,475 miles, and the whole length of his course 821,250 miles—equal to thirty-four times the circum ference of the globe ! He was 6(3 years of age wizen he died. —Leeds Mercury. The tonnage of vessels at the pier of Perth last week exceeded all former precedent. There were be tween 20 and 30 brigantines and schooners, besides sloops and small craft to a great number.

SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. On Saturday the anniversary of the foundation of this excellent charity was celebrated by a dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence was in the chair, and around him sat the Earl of Darnley, Sir M. Shaw Stewart, Bart. M. P., Mr. Keith Douglas, Mr. James Gordon Duff, Lord Salton!), Sir George Murray, Mr. Macleod of Macleod, Mr. W. Dun(las, M.P., the Lord Chief Baron of Scotland, the Hon. W. Frazer, Sir Gabriel Wood, and several other distinguished persons connected with Scotland. The charity of the Scottish Hospital is applicable to the poor me chanic, the artisan, and labourer, natives of Scotland, with their wives, widows, and children, resident in the metropolis and its immediate neighbourhood, who, not having acquired any parochial settlement in this country, would in age and pol erty, in sick ness and distress, or when in want of employment, be exposed to wretchedness or beggary, but for the fostering care of this institution. In the course of the last year the institution afforded temporary re lief to several hundreds of people, besides which, 70 old and infirm persons above the age of 70, receive each a pension of 101. a year from the funds of the charity. Such being the useful and benevolent effects resulting front this institution, we strongly recommend it to the support of the public, and more particularly of those who are connected with Scot land. In the course of the evening the Royal Chairman presented a donation of 1001. from the King, and stated that his Majesty intended to give a similar sum annua ll y to t h e charity. This com munication was received with great applause. Several appropriate toasts were drunk, and amongst the rest " The health of Sir George Mur ray," which the Chairman prefaced by declaring emphatically that it had no reference whatever to politics, but was proposed solely with reference to the services of the Right lion. Gentleman in the field, and on account of his presence at the festival. Sir G. MURRAY, in returning thanks, expressed his concurrence with the Royal President as to the propriety of excluding political considerations from a social and charitable meeting; at the same time he could not forget that he was one of the crew em ployed in the service of the vessel of state, and he trusted that with the Monarch at the helm, the aristocracy for ballast, and the breath of the people to expand the sails, the ship's company would be able to carry her safe into port. With respect to his services in the field, to which allusion had bee;.) made, he must observe that he had commenced and proceeded in his military career under very favour able circumstances. He had constantly obtained the strongest marks of regard from an illustrious Prince now no more, the memory of whose virtues was en shrined in the hearts of all British soldiers. By Abercromby he had been treated with the partiality of a parent, by Moore with the affection of a brother, and when these were gone, he was taken under the patronage of another chief, whose genius and the bravery of British soldiers had gained for him an im perishable name. Thus befriended, he could not fail to earn for himself some portion of the gratitude which the British nation showers on her defenders. The address was received by the company with every possible demonstration of satisfaction. During the evening Mr. Broadhurst sang some Scotch songs with great taste and sweetness. Miss Grant also sung several airs from the ladies' gallery, and dis played powers of voice and brilliancy of execution greater than she has hitherto obtained credit for. Her exertions were rapturously applauded. Sub• scriptions in aid of the charity were made by . the company t o th e amount o f 322 1 ., exc l us i ve of his Majesty's donation. DEATH EXTRAORDINARY. Died, some time this month, in the parish of St. Stephen's, Westminster, the Reverend Dr. Tory, A.S.S. He had been ailing for some time; and, indeed, the ablest physicians had held out no hopes of recovery, ever since the ISlethodist Parson had been admitted (by a Vestry regulation, passed about a year Since) to a share in the common land of the parish. The family of the Tories was highly re spectable, and very ancient; some antiquaries have traced their pedigree from the celebrated founder of the Inquisition; whilst others maintain their legiti mate descent from the Helots of Sparta. It is pro bable that both are correct. Dr. Tory was fond of the society of elderly ladies; and it was thought they put many fancies into his head. In particular, they filled him with the fears of a ghost which had often been the terror of the poor people of the pa rish. This was the ghost of one Dr. Pope, formerly lord of the manor possessed by the late Dr. Tory. This ghost was a terrible thorn in the Doctor's side during the latter part of his life; indeed, the agony of his terror came to such a pitch, that it was sup posed by some to have been the main cause of his death. Dr. Tory's almost exclusiv e res id ence i n t h e country, and his love for female society, made him regard with despair certain innovations on the com forts of the poor of his parish. There was a perni cious scheme formed for selling shoes, stockings, bread, &c. at a very low rate; a man of the Doctor's sagacity could not but foresee the ruin that must arise to the country from this system of plundering the poor. Several untoward circumstances conspired to render the latter part of his life very melancholy, not to say burthensome. There was a descendant of the above-mentioned Dr. Pope, who said that as he had paid poor-rates and served in the militia, he had a right to a voice in the Vestry, and to a seat at the parish dinners; from both which he had been excluded for some years past. The Doctor pre dicted the downfall of the parish, if this demand was granted; and when he found it likely to be conceded by the Vestry, whether it was that the warmth of his heart or his head misled hiM, or that his education had been some neglected—from whatever cause it arose the Doctor certainly played some very odd, and not very intelligible tricks. Amongst others, he sent for the parson, and told him that if he didn't send all his congregation on the following Sunday to the Vestry, to frighten them into refusing Mr. Pope's demand, he would kick him out of the vicarage forthwith. People thought this very odd, because, some years ago, when Mr. Radical, the shoe-black of the parish, persuaded the poor to petition the Vestry for a supply of bread, the Doctor sent for the constables and dispersed the petitioners, and nothing but Mr. Radical's running away saved him from being well cud ge ll e d. Th e D octo r, failing on this tack, set about abusing the overseers of the parish ; but one of these being an old soldier, took this in such bad part, that he horsewhipped the Doctor, and then made him beg g rte bu d t id ro lt gen tleman's spirits, indeed his character seemed to un dergo an entire change. He had not opened his be could. Ile had mortifications made sensible inroad h s is o p n ar t d h o e n o . ldihesemouth on parish business for some years . past ; and the constables; lie and s d e i t d th n e o t w c i a lo r i e e a vi b ll t a i g tt e m i t u fo fi r am th e e gft t oh o arabm s tb p ell e erv a laya k ys ;bt beery b e euurdi t t r a u a : fiin h ord , imo theshe supporterlodnigd Doctor's anso t of s rather than see Mr. Pope in the Vestry. It was not to be expected, that under these circumstances; his death would be characterised by that tranquillity constables,b u t now, h andesaid, id : would h e and resignation which so eminently enno b le the end of the real Christian. We reg ret to sa y , that the spirit of Dr. Tory left his dwelling -place in the midst of struggles and convulsions, which had only the effect of increasing the distress of his friends, and furnishing merriment to his enemies. We ought here, perhaps, in charity, to close the me lancholy scene; but historical candour compels us to add, that he died swearing at his two best and oldest friends, the parson and the overseer.

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. (FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE.) The No-Popery phrenzy is drawing rapidly to a. close. Excitement is necessarily of limited dura lioss. People cannot be always in a state of alarm. People must cat, drink, sleep, work, and pay their debts, even though the Protestant Constitution of 1688 lie doomed to destructions The first effect produced on us by the recent exhibition of popular stupidity and ignorance, on din subject of the mea ewe before Parliament, as chagrin at the disco very of the small progress which has yet been made by the schoolmaster in this country, However, out of evil sometimes cometh good; and we set our selves to consider whet good could come out of this exhibition of national doltishness. There has been, throughout England and Scotland, what may be called a complete separation between the classes in respectable circumstances and the poor and unedu cated. In Edinburgh, we have seen a petition signed by nearly 8,000 pertons, including almost every educated individual. Yet we have not the smallest doubt that even in Edinburgh, as well as through out the rest of Scotland, the lower orders are as generally hostile to concession to the Catholics as in England. The Editor of the Droiffries courier describes the phrenzy of the lower orders in that respectably-inhabited town as extravagant in the extreme. In some places, ns at Thateo and Inverness, the lower orders have proceeded to acts of violence. In the United States of North Ame rica it would be impsessible to separate the different cloeses in this marked manner. The North Ame ricans are erne people. In this island there are two nations living together who possess a sort of con ventierial language for the matters which bring them in - contact with each other, but who have tach their separate language, the language of the one not being intelligible to the other. How is this ? It is because in the United States all are not only edu cated, but the same channels of intelligence are ac cessible to and common to all. Every man in Ame rica reads a Newspaper ; in England N ewspapers, from their price, and the poverty of the people, are accessible only to the higher and middle classes.— Newspapers arc the °lily co;:ans of instructing told disciplining the minds of the people ; they furnish a constant excitement of sufficient power to rouse the laborious classes from the lethargy which would otherwise oyes-power them ; and tote habit of hear ing ar7;atnents, pro and con, on th s numerous guff ticans discussed in Parliament and Courts of Law, gradually disciplines and strengthens the mind. Of the Newspaper readers of England and Scotland nine-tenths at least are favoureble to the measure of :Ministers. A better test of this cannot be afforded than the circulation of the Papers throughout the counties which advocate Emancipation. But then, the great body of the people never read any Newspapers, and to this ignorant body the Tories have appealed. This great class, for the most part, can read; but their reading is only an occasional act, when any one wishes to make tools of them for some base object, when a tract, suited to their igno rance and prejudices, or some book written with re ference to the state of affairs 200 years ago, is put into their hands. The s y s t em of England is to ne glect the lower orders, and to take the opinions of the higher trod middle classes for public opinion,— I-knee, from a stupid jealousy, lest the lower orders should read seditious books, taxes have been im posed on the vehicles which circulate intelligence, so that they may be placed beyond their reach. Per haps a Ministry with bad intentions might find their account in this policy ; but we have just seen that the stupidity caused by Government can also be turned against Government when its intentions are honest. If Newspapers had not been placed beyond the reach of the lower orders, instead of sorting themselves in public-houses, and approach ing a question with minds so constituted that the worst reasoning is sure to be the most successful with them, we might have had men as intelligent as the lower order of Americans, proof against the vile arts of those who are DOW making use of them for the worst of purposes. If we could prevent the people from being appealed to, it would be all very well to keep them in ignorance; but the evil is that theywill always be appealed to in critical conjunctures, and therefore the only question is, whether we should wish them to judge in a sober and discreet manner, or to judge like the animals bereft of reason. Dr. Paley, in his Moral and Political Philosophy, has the fol lowing sensible observations on the beneficial in fluence of the agitation of political subjects on the minds of the people. " The satisfaction," he says, " which the people in free Governments derive from the knowledge and agitation of political sub jects ; such as the proceedings and debates of the Senate; the conduct and characters of Ministers ; the revolutions, intrigues, and contentions of parties; and, in general, from the discussion of public mea sures, questions, and occurrences—subjects of this sort excite just enough of interest and emotion to afford a moderate engagement to the thoughts, with out rising to any painful degree of anxiety, or ever leaving a fixed oppression upon the spirits; and, what is this but the end and aim of all those amuse ments which compose so much of the business of life, and the value of riches? For my part (and I believe it to be the case with most men who are arrived at the middle age, arid occupy the middle classes of life), had I all the money which I pay in taxes to Government at liberty to lay out upon amusement and diversion, I know not whether I could make choice of any in which I could find hgreater pleasure than what I receive from expecting, earing, and relating public. news ; reading Parlia mentary debates and- proceedings—canvassing the political arguments, projects, predictions, and intelli gence, which are conveyed by ' various channels to every corner of the kingdom. These topics, ex citing universal curiosity, and being such as almost every man is ready to form and prepared to deliver his opinion about, greatly promote, and, I think, improve conversation. They render it more ra tional and more innocent—they supply a substitute for drinking, gaining, scandal, and obscenity. Now the secrecy, the jealousy, the solitude, and precipi tation of despotic Governments exclude all this. But the loss, you say, is trifling. I know that it is possible to render even :the mention of it ridiculous, by representing it as the idle employment of the most insignificant part of the nation, the folly of village statesmen and coffee-Louse politicians; but I allow nothing to be a trifle which ministers to the harmless gratification of multitudes ; nor any order of men to be insignificant, whose numbers bear a re spectable proportion to :the sum of the whole com munity." This is admirable. Any man, hots ever. who calculates the proportion which the number of Newspapers bears to that of the grown population, must see that they find their way to a very small portion of society. Wherever they reach they ele vate. And we are confident that a better gage of the intellectual advancement of a district cannot be obtained than the number of Newspapers circulated in it. When the mob of Edinburgh and Glasgow burnt Popish Chapels in 1780, the number of News papers circulated in Scotland was not one-tenth of the present number, and the proportion is still be low that of England ; from which we infer with confidence, that the quantity of ignorance and pre judice among the lower orders 'of Scotland is still greater than the quantity among the same classes in England. When Arthur Young travelled in France, about the beginning of the Revolution, he found the people every where ignorant and credulous from the want of Newspapers. " Though they are now slow (he observes) in knowing what has really happened, they are very quick in hearing what is impossible to happen King has been advised to take several steps of au thority against the States; but none of his Mini ters have advised the establishment of Journals, and their speedy circulation, that should undeceive the people in those points his enemies have misre presented. When numerous Papers are published in opposition to each other, the people take pions to sift into and examine the truth ; and that inqui sitiveness alone—the very act of searching, en lightens them ; they become informed, and it is nol longer easy - to deceive them." He again and again describes the helplessness of the more respectable people from their ignorance of what was going on elsewhere ; and contrasts this helplessness with the energy which would have been displayed in Eng land in consequence or the correct information cir culatedihtoUgh Newspapers. Mr. M a lth us t e ll s us (2a edition, quarto, 1803), " in some conversations with labouring men, during the late scarcities, I confess that I wit! to the last degree disheartened at observiitg their inveterate prejudices en zl . fe sub ject of grain; and I felt very strongly the almost absolute incompatibility of a Government really free with such a degree of ignorance." He says In a note—" During the l a t e dearth half of the gen tlemen and clergymen in the kingdom richly de served to liave been prosecuted for sedition. After inflaming the minds of the common people against the farmers and corn dealers, by the manner in which they talked of them, it was but a feeble an tidote to the poison which they had infused coldly to observe, that however the poor might be op pressed or : cheated, it was their duty to k ee p th e peace," We may thus see how dangerous it is to deliver over the lower orders, bound neck and heels, to clergymen. One Newspaper In a village would do more to enlighten and elevate the charac ter of the people, that: a whole year's discourses of their clergyman. In general, in political subjects, it is the blind leading the blind; for how should tine sort of education which a clergyman receives make him a guide in political subjects ? There is not one clergyman in a hundred who knows even the first elements of the science which has for ob ject the happiness and prosperity of nations; and how should he give good advice to others who is profoundly ignorant himself? If the Government really wish to improve the people, let them encou rage the circulation of Newspapers, which will make them both better informed and better fathers and husband!, by giving them a substitute for degrad ing sensuality. (FROM THE TIMES.) The last shift of the Cumberland faction is in no small degree characteristic ; for it is extravagant, l►dicrous, impudent, hypocritical, and knavish, be ing actually an attempt to poison the King of Eng land's mind with apprehension of a plot, which they ascribe to the Duke of Wellington, for expelling the present Royal Family from the kingdom, and seizing on the vacant throne We have thus plucked nut the heart of their profligate mystery, and shown I he world what a crew of factious block heads will dare to insinuate against the most eminent subjects of the realm, flattering themselves that the affected pomp of inuendoes and dark menaces will add something like zest to their miserable calum nies, and pique the curiosity of the vulgar to inquire into what, if stated in plain terms, would move no thing but astonishment at its transcendent folly.— The crown to which the Duke of Wellington ha,: aspired, is already planted on his temples by the muse of history—" arid it will wear well, foe it has been dearly earned." From the Parliamentary returns it appears that the gross sums raised in England and Wales under the general head of poor-rates during the year 1828, amounted to 7,715,0001., of which 1,370,000/. was for other purposes than the relief of the poor, and 6,300,000/. expended in various ways for that ob ject. There is an avei age diminution of expense, as compared with the year preceding, of about two per cent. throughout the country, which is at least a satisfactory circumstance, considering the increased price of corn. The average diminution, however, has admitted of an actual augmentation in the charges for, and symptoms of, pauperism, throughout certain counties. In Middlesex, for instance, there has been an increase of eight per cent. (FROM THE MORNING HERALD.) It appears by the proceedings of the Civic Par liament that one of its members has opened upon us all the phials of his wrath for the share we have had in calling the public attention to the snug job which the Civic Body was so quietly stealing through Parliament, whereby an attempt is making to tax the chief article of fuel (one of the main ne cessaries of life in a cold climate like our's), for the purpose of making the necessary approaches to the new London Bridge. We want no better proof of such a measure as this being wrong than the snug ness and the silence with which it has been con cocted, and was on the eve of being brought to maturity ; nor can we wonder that the rage which vents itself at our exposure of the matter should be equalled by the disappointment of which we have been knowingly, wilfully, and, we trust, hap pily, the authors. We have said, and we say it again, that if the Civic Body meant what was fair and ho nest—if they did not mean to smuggle through Par liament a project which would not bear the light— they were bound to have made known their inten tions through every possible channel.—We contend, too, that they were bound to do more than that, and that it was imperative upon them, to show that no other means could be found to effect their object and, above all, to shoW what are the extent and re sources of that very Bridgehouse Estate, which there are persons who declare would, if it had been properly managed, been more than adequate for all the purposes of the new bridge, and its approaches. And why, of all things in the world, should coals be fixed upon as the chosen article of Civic taxation ? Why, as Lord Londonderry has very aptly said, not tax the wine and the turtle ? or, if they would not afford revenue enough, why should not a small general tonnage be put on, in preference to singling out an article, the most unfit to be made all object of taxation at any time ? But the truth is that the Civic Body have some thing to do with this same article of coals al ready. The tax which they wish to perpetuate ex pires in about eight years' time; and has alluded, and will afford, while it lasts, some nice snug cor porate pickings, the less of which cannot be viewed without dismay. Besides this, the Civic Body have not a little to do with that precious part of • our coal system called metering. (FROM THE NEWS.) We are glad to find that some inquiry is about to be instituted into the secrets of the coal trade, with a view to the finding out why coals, which cost 18s. per chaldron at the pit, with 103. per chaldron freight to London, should be charged from 50s. to 60s. per • chaldron to the consumer. There is we admit to be added to the above 28s. from 7s. to Bs. for govern ment and city duties ; but still we are very far, allowing every reasonable profit, from the London housekeepers' charge. There is a mystery in this which we should like to see elucidated. We agree with the Duke of Wellington that it does not lay with the duties, for we doubt much were they all taken off, whether the price to the consumer would be proportionably diminished. The reduction of indirect taxes rarely benefits the public in an equal ratio to the sacrifice made by Government.— The taking off the assessed taxes, would come more home to the pockets of the people than the doing away with all the indirect taxes put together. Were such a measure to follow on the Emancipation Bill, it would be an effectual gag to the croakings of the alarmists. THE MtmsTßv.—There is at this moment a sin gular coincidence between the Cabinets of France and this country, with reference to their situation as connected with the Chamber of Deputies and the House of Commons. The " Chamber," like the " House," is divided into three great parties — which, we may denominate, the Ministerialthe Li beral, (occasionally voting with the Minister), and the Ultra, or direct opposition. Whenever the two former unite, the latter is, in course, overwhelmed — but there occur cases in which the Liberal party disagree with the Minister—then, by an union with the Ultras, they are enabled to leave him in a mino rity. A circumstance of this nature happened in the I Chamber of Deputies the other day ;—the questionin dispute was not a very important one, but that arose! from mere chance; had it affected the existence of the Ministry, the result would have been the same. No Mi ter can keep his place in such a state of things, and the French Premier must either vacate, or strengthen himself by a coalition with one or other of the parties L liable to be opposed to ltifrt. A very slight review of the state of things on this side of the water, will theW how exactly similar the Duke of Wellington is situated. In our House of Commons there are three parties—the Ministerial—the Whigs and the Ultra Tories. As long af_' the . ttl•o former agree, the latter b'a defeated ; but if the two last unite, the Minister must be in a minority. 'rbm hence results the necesity of the Duke allying himself with one oi• the other. One would naturally suppose, after what has been spoken and written of him, by one of these parties, that alliance with them is out of the question, and this we believe to be the case. How far terms can be made with the other party a little time will show ; for, after the Catholic Bills are done with, something decisive must be adopted. LENT ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HORSHAM, Mallen 27. THE KING V. DUKE. This was an indictment against the defendant, Stephen Duke, the son of a farmer residing at Arun del, for an assault and battery committed by him upon Mr. George Augustus Coombes, the son of a Magistrate of the same town.—Verdict, guilty. In the Crown Court there were no cases of the slightest interest. In the Nisi Pries, an action for breach of promise of marriage, for which a Special Jury was impannelled, Mr. Gurney and Mr. Adol phus retained on one side, and Serjeants Spankie and Andrews on the other, arid which crowded the Court with ladies at an early hour, was hushed up, and a verdict of 130/. taken by consent. The busi ness of this Assize was finished at three o'clock this afternoon. MIDLAND CIRCUIT, DERBY, TLt cx 27. Paul White, a farmer, about 40 years of age, was indicted for a rape upon the person of Hannah Key, at Shottle, in this county. The prosecutrix, a country girl about 19 years of age, whose countenance and manner bespoke a mix ture of simplicity and cunning, stated that in Fe bruary last, she lived in the service of Mrs. Elizabeth White, the prisoner's mother, at Shottle. Mrs. White was an old woman upwards of 70 years of age. Her son Daniel lived with her, and managed the business of the farm. The prisaner (Paul) was a married man, and came to his mother's occasion ally. One day in the middle of February, when there was no person about the place but Mrs. White, the prisoner, and the prosecutrix, she (prosecutrix) went to feed the fowls as usual, but found no oats in the oat-tub ; upon which the prisoner told her to come with him to the corn-chamber, and he would give her some. She accordingly took the tub, and followed him to the corn-chamber, which stood about thirty yards from the dwelling-house across the yard. As soon as they had got inside, the prisoner let down the door, and immediately threw the prosecutrix on some sacks. He then ill-treated her, in a manner which, according to her statement, constituted the capital offence, according to the recent Act Of Par liament on this subject. She cried out as well as she could. He afterwards told her she might put some corn in her bucket out of a sack that was about half full. She did so, and went out and fed the fowls. She afterwards attended to her usual busi ness for the rest of the afternoon, and milked the cows. She met a woman, a Mrs. Walker, whom she had known very well. She did not tell her what had happened to her, neither did she acquaint her mistress with it ; but she told the prisoner's brother Daniel (it was said in Court that these bro thers had been on very unfriendly terms with each other for some time before this) of it the next day, and Daniel told her mistress. She (prosecutrix) was for going home, but Daniel told her his mother could not do without her for a couple of days, and if she would stop, he would see her righted. Her father and mother were informed of what had oc curred, and they and Daniel accompanied her before a justice. It was a fortnight after she had been ill treated that she first went before a justice to com plain of the prisoner. A verdict of acquittal was returned; and the prisoner, who had been previously out on bail, was discharged. He declared solemnly, before he left the bar, that he had never meddled with the pro secutrix; the whole case was the result of a wicked conspiracy against him. Samuel Smedley, aged 22, John Collier, aged 22, and George Warrel, aged 20, were charged with maliciously killing and maiming sheep. Warrel was admitted King's evidence, and from his testimony, corroborated by the evidence, and the prisoners' own admissions, it appeared thut these three young men, having been drinking together at a public-house on the evening in question, sallied out for the purpose of " doing something to be talked about" (that was Smedley's proposition), and with this laudable view they entered a close in which were some sheep, and driving them into a corner they caught two. Smed ley then pulled out his pen-knife, and with the assist ance of his two companions, who held the poor animals down for him, first cut off the head of one, and then partly did so to the other, and, whilst it was still alive, cut open its entrails. The Jury found the two prisoners who were in dicted Guilty. The Learned JUDGE sentenced them to trampor tation for life. THE KING V. EDW ARDS, GENTLEMAN. This was an indictment against the defendant, an attorney of this place, for a violent assault upon a watchman named Tomlinson, in September last. The case, which had been removed into the Court of King's Bench by certiorari, excited considerable in terest in this neighbourhood. The circumstances, as they appeared in evidence, were briefly these :—On the night or rather morning, in question, the prosecutor heard a great noise and disturbance in the streets, and finding the defendant and another person named Mason active in creating it, he took the latter, who was a stranger into custody, intending to summon the defendant, whom he knew, before a justice next morning. As they were pro ceeding to the watch-house, Mason called out, " Go at him ;" to which the defendant replied, " No, not yet." The latter had a bludgeon in his hand at the time. He offered to be bail for Mason at the watch-house, which was refused, and that person was therefore locked up. In about half an hour afterwards (between two and three in the morning), when the prosecutor was in another part of the town, he suddenly received a blow on the head, from behind, which brought him to the ground completely stunned. He could not tell at the moment whether it had been given with a stick or a stone. The blood flowed copiously from the wound. In a few minutes afterwards some people having collected about him, the defendant came behind, and stretching his head round to look the prosecutor in the face, said, " Are you hurt ?" " Yes," replied Tomlinson; and " you are the hand that did it." The defendant made no reply, but subsequently asked him, " would 50.'. be of any service to you ?' To which the prosecutor answered, "No, nor 5001." These were the principal grounds on which the charge against the prosecutor rested. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evi dence, the Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty. CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 27. Win. Osborne, aged 23, was indicted for felo niously assaulting one David Durwood on the King's highway, in the parish of Elsworth, on the sth of December last, putting him in corporal fear, and stealing from his person 12 sovereigns and a 5/. note. David Durwood.—l am a farmer at Warboys. On the 3d December I was at the Three Tuns pub -Ik-house, at Knapwell, about four in the afternoon. I stayed there about two hours. The prisoner was there also, sit! Mg opposite to me. He had a dib bing-iron with him. The landlord wished me to stop all night ; but I said, in the presence of the prisoner, that I would go home. The landlord gave me four sovereigns and a :5/. note, which I put in my left-hand breeches pocket, with eight other sovereigns. He left the Three Tuns a quarter of an hour before I did. Master Holben, of Elsw•orth, accompanied me as far as the road leading to Els worth, when we parted, I going to Conington.— When I had got about a furlong, I met a man on the road, whom I saluted with " Good night," and he tame and caught me directly by the collar, and said " Stand, deliver your money." That man was the prisoner. tie had on a light waistcoat and a frock coat. I said " I have no money ;" and he replied " but I know you have, and I'll hare it." He then struck me a great many blows with a large heavy club or dibbing-iron. I have the scars on my head now. Part of my ear was., cut off by one of the blows. He beat me till he got me nearly to the dike, and there he throwed me across the dike, put. his hands into my left-hand breeches' pocket, End took out the eight sovereigns and the 51. note. lie did not feel in any other pocket. After he had robbed me, he hit me a desperate blow, seemingly with his fist, on the face, and ran off. This was a mile from Conington. On the next day but one I went to see a man who was in hold ; he was with two others, and I picked him out, and said, " That's the man as robbed me." I have no doubt the pri soner is the man. John Holmes, landlord of the Three Tuns, cor roborated the prosecutor as to the prisoner and pro secutor being at his house on the sth. The Jury, after two minutes' deliberation, found a verdict of Guilty. The Learned BARON then put on the black cap, and, in an earnest and most solemn address, passed the awful sentence of death upon the unhappy cul prit ; exhorting him to lose no portion of the short remaining period of his mortal career in the vain hope that mercy could be extended to him on this side the grave. LAUNCESTON, M kRCIf 26. THE APOTHECARIES' COMPANY V. SERGEANT. Mr. Serjeant WILDE (with whom were Mr. C. F. Williams and Mr. Follett) stated the case to the jury. He said this was an action brought by the masters, wardens, &c. of the Apothecaries' Com pany, to recover of the defendant certain penalties for his having acted as a surgeon and apothecary, he not being a competent person, or having passed the examinations required by the Act 55 Geo. 111. It was there enacted, that all persons, from the passing of that Act, before they should be enabled to carry on the art which they professed, should undergo a certain examination as to their ability ; the defend ' ant, knowing this, tendered himself, and on exami nation he was found not to have the knowledge which was required. Some time afte-, he again applied, and the result was the same—he was again rejected. From that time till a little while since nothing was heard of him, and then the plaintiffs received information that he was practising in this county ; and it was found that he had set up at Carrington, and being a man of some address, he had managed to get into considerable practice, and it would appear was employed by the parish autho rities to administer medicine to the poor of that pa rish. The defendant was not present to defend this action ; he (the Learned Serjeant) should therefore r limit the inquiry, and ask for two pe nalties only, the object being to stop the mischief. Peter Stentiford examined—l had occasion for medici.l attendance from July, 1827, to July, 1828. Dr. Sergeant attended me. He gave me medicine, especially pills for the loosening of my body.—(A laugh.) Mr. Sergeant WILDE—We will not inquire into the effects of his medicine. Dr. Neal examined—l attended as physician to the late Mr. Procter ; Mr. Sergeant attended as apothecary. I prescribed, and the defendant sup plied the medicine. Mr. Justice GASELEE summed up. There could be no doubt that the defendant came within the meaning of the Act, and they ( the Jury) would give a verdict for two penalties of 201. each.—Verdict accordingly. YORK, MARcii 27. REED V. BOWMAN. Mr. MATTHEws opened the pleadings. The de claration stated, that the defendant had seduced the (laughter of the plaintiff, whereby the plaintiff lost her services. Mr. BROUGHAM stated the case. The plaintiff was a respectable shopkeeper at 011erton, in the North Riding of Yorkshire ; the defendant was the son of a tradesman, residing at the same place. The parties had for some time bees acquainted, for the de fendant had concealed the design which he enter tained on the person of the plaintiff's daughter under the presence of an honourable attachment ; and had visited her, with the avowed intention of making her his wife. The consequence of such a profession had been, that the parties had (as was always the case) been suffered to be much together ; and the defendant had availed himself of the oppor tunities which this confidence afforded him, to ac complish the real object of his attentions. The daughter of the plaintiff had, unfortunately, trusted to the man whom she bad supposed would soon be come her husband, and an intercourse bud ensued, which ended on her part in the birth of a child. It was for the injury thus inflicted that the plaintiff now sought a compensation in damages. Mary Reed—l urn the daughter of the plaintiff. 1 resided with my father for the last four or five years. I have known the defendant since he was a child. There has been a considerable intimacy be tween us for the last five years. I expected that his intentions were honourable. In March, 1827, an improper intimacy took place between us. I be came pregnant in consequence, and in November, in the same year, I was delivered of a child. The de fendant visited me all that time, and after the child was born. The defendant lives with his father, who is a blacksmith at 011erton. He is an only sea. His father is in good circumstances. Cross-examined—l was 21 years of age last May. The defendant was 23. It was about a month since my father failed in business. His affairs arc now managed by two persons. I have sworn the child to the defendant. He pays ls. 6d. a week. He paid the expence of my confinement. Mr. Justice BAYLEY summed up the case. The Jury, after a short deliberation, found a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages, 5/. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—Gentlemen, the defendant thinks he ought to pay that sum, for he offered it before the trial began. MURDER. Martin Slack, aged 18, was charged with the wilful murder of a female child, by administering to it a quantity of uquafortis. Elizabeth Haigh examined—l know the prisoner at the bar. I have been acquainted with him about three years. I was delivered of a female child on the 19th of October last. The prisoner at the bar was the father of that child. I swore the child to him, and he was in consequence sent to the house of correction ut Wakefield. He returned before the child was born, and continued to visit me. On the morning of Sunday, Nov. 2, I got up between six and seven. As soon as I got up I took the child down stairs and suckled it. The prisoner came in. At the time he came I was sitting before the fire suckling the child. I was not quite dressed, and I placed the child on the squab, and went up stairs to finish dressing. The child was in very good health, and had not before ailed any thing. Almost as soon as I got up stairs I heard the child scream. I ran down stairs and saw the prisoner sitting with the child in his arms. The child's head was lying upon his left shoulder. The prisoner got up from the chair when I came down, and gave me the child. I was going to put the child to my breast when I saw something was the matter. Some thing had been given to it. There was a sort of blaze coming out of its mouth, and something like brimstone was running from it. I put the child's mouth against my cheek, and my cheek was burned by it.--(Witness h ere s h owe d a mar k, which was still visible on her cheek.)—The stuff running out of its mouth also burnt my arm. In about three quarters of an hour the child died. Cross-examined by Mr. COTTINGHAM—The banns of marriage had been published between the prisoner and me, and forbidden by t h e p r i s oner's father. The prisonett always seemed attached to me, and fond of the child. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of -Guilty. Mr. Baron HULLOCK then sentenced the prisoner to be executed on Monday next. During the address of the Learned Judge, the prisoner more than once exclaimed that he had no occasion to seek for pardon, for he was an innocent man ; and when the sentence had been passed, he said, " This is just what they wanted ; they wanted to have me hanged, and my body taken to Sheffield to be dissected. and you have not done your duty in passing this sentence upon me. You are an unjust Judge."—The prisoner was then removed. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Cloc4. 131 PERU L PARLIAMENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLMR sat to-day at five minutes before Five o'clock. Six Private Bills were read a third, and one or two a second time. Lord STANLEY and others brought up a road Bill. _ _ Mr. LAWLEY and others brought up another road Bill. Lord HARDIVICKE presented a petition from the Protestant Dissenters of Wisbeach, in favour of the Ca tholic claims. The Noble Lord entirely concurred is the prayer. From six years resideve in Ireland, he was satisfied that the proposed measure was necessary, and was sure that when it passed into a law, no act would be found more calculated for public economy. Lord BOYLE presented a petition from the Roman Catholics of Ilminster, in favour of their claims. The Marquis of ANGLESEA presented petitions from several parishes in Ireland to the same effect. Lord WINCIHLSEA presented petitions from East Peckam, New Romney, St. Paul's, Deptford, Newberry, and from numerous other places in England, Scotland, and Ireland, against further concessions to the Roman Catholics. Lord CAMDEN presented a petition from certain in dividuals in the county of Pembroke, in favour of the Ca-• tholics. In doing so, he begged to state, that at a county meeting a Clergymen of the Established Church made a most unwarantable attempt to agitate the mind of the people of that county. On the hustings he stated that the present measure would be to admit Popery into the Constitution, and the Protestants would be compelled against their inclination to support Popery. The admission of Popery would be nothing short of depriving the Protes tants of their religious liberty. He strongly recommended the inhabitants to petition his Majesty to dissolve Parlia ment, as then he would see how ill he had been used by his present hypocritical and ill-informed Ministers. The most inflammatory and seditious papers had been circulated in that county, and the worst of them propagated by a society for the circulation of Tracts. The Reverend Gentleman enquired if the people were ready to give up their bibles, if they were then they might assent to this measure, if not it was their duty to object to it. When the meeting had heard this gentleman, and the one who seconded the Resolution, it became so tumultuous, that the Sheriff was obliged to dissolve it, and therefore no petition from that Meeting could be presented as the Meeting of the County. Windows had been broken, and in one instance fire thrown into the houses of those who were favourable. to the measura. The present petition was from a number of gentlemen, who were present at the meeting, and who objected to what took place there, and expressed their ap probation of the measure. Lord ELDON observed that he had a petition from that county, signed by a great number of the most respectable individuals, against the Catholic claims. Lord FARNHAM presented 28 petitions from parishes iu Ireland, against the Catholic Claims. The Bishop of DURHAM presented a petition from Rotherly, and two other parishes, in the county of Dur hara, against concessions. Lord LORTON presented three petitions from parishes in Ireland. Lord KINNOUL presented petitions from about half a dozen places in Scotland, to the same effect, amon i ; which was one from the Minister and Elders of the Pres bytery of Perth. Lord LORTON presented three petitions from parishes in Ireland to the same effect. The Duke of HAMILTON precented two petitions front Greenock, in favour of emancipation, one was from the Roman Catholics, and the other from Protestants. The Noble Duke presented a third petition to the same effect, and he entirely agreed in the prayer. He was upon this great question decidedly in favour of Emancipation. Earl 'HARE \VOOD presented a petition from near Pontefract against concessions. Lord HOLLAND presented several petitions in favour of the Catholic claims. Lord GROSVENOR presented a petition from the in. habitants of Macclesfield, silk throwsters, praying for re lief. He felt it necessary to observe, that the petitioners had chosen an individual to present this petition who could not agree in the prayer. The petitioners, in his opinion, had taken a very erroneous view of the object on which they thought propea to petition. Lord ELDON presented a great number of petitions front the Protestants of different parts of England and Ireland against further Concessions to the Roman Crtholics. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair a few minutes before Four o'clock, at which time there was an universally full ttendance of Members. The gallery was very much rowded. The: Independent Gas Company's Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The Bill for Building a Bridge over the River Thames, at Staiees was read a third time and passed. Petitions were presented front the following plaees against the Catholic Claims : By Sir Edward Kuachbull, from a congregation of Wesleyan Methodists at Wellingborough, Northampton shire, and another from an individual named Thomas Jones, Vestry Clerk of St. Stephens, Coletnan-street-- (Laughter) ;—and another front a place, the name of which we d►d not hear ; by Mr. Fontayne Wilson, from nine parishes in the county of York; by Admiral Harvey from three different places in the county of Essex ; by Lord Belfast, from the town of Belfast, and by Mr. Egerton, from three places in the county of Chester. Mr. E. DAVENPORT said one of the petitions pre sented by his Hon. Friend (Mr. Egerton) was signed by the Whipper-in and Huntsman of a pack of Fox-hounds, who were decidedly against any further concessions to the Catholics.—(Great laughter.) Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE presented a petition from the City of Bath in favour of concessions; Lord Ox mantown presented two petitions from the Kings County. Sir HENRY SYMTH presented a petition from the Eastern Half Hundred of Essex on the subject of Anatomy. Mr. D. W. HARVEY gave notice that on Wednesday next be should move for an account of the manner in which the sum of 512,000/. voted for the Charing-cross, improvements had been expended ; and also for a Report of proceedings instituted by the Attorney-Genaral in re fe-ence to Public Charities. Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition from the Mini sters, &c. of the Presbytery of Forfar, praying that the Catholics might be excluded from certain offices therein named. Also similar petitions from the Associate Presby tery of Edinburgh, and other places in Scotland. After a few woe's from Mr. Moberly, Sir R. Ferguson, Captain Weinyss, and Mr. Hume, the petitions were or dered to be printed. The SPEAKER said that the Synod of Forfar was signed by only one individual, and the question therefore arose, whether the petition could be received under these circumstances as the petition of the Synod, or as the pe tition of the individual whose signature it bore. The ge neral rule of the House was that all petitions should be received as the petitions of those by whom they were signed, and the exceptions to this ruie were towns and bodies corporate. There was not one single excep. tion, for there was a precedent where the House had received a petition from the General Assembly of Scot land as the petition of that body, though it was only signed by one individual. He wished to draw the atten tion of the House to the subject, as it appeared to him to be one of some importance. The LORD ADVOCATE aaid that the same rule as had been applied to the General Assembly might be also applied to time Synods and Presbyterians, all of them being of the same nature, anti regulated by the same Act of Parliament. Mr. Secretary PEEL taid, that lie could rot take the same view of the subject. The Precedents of the House were in favour of receiving petitions, tnerelyras the pe titions of those who signed them, hut there being one LEFT SPEAKING.] PREPARATIONS FOR SMITHFIELD. A contemporary (the Examiner) humanely oh sel ves t hat the anxiety lately manifested by the Duke of Wellington respecting the price of coals in the metropolis is not without a cause. It appear', at first blush meritorious in these Le gislators to lend their assistance to reduce any un necessary charge or unfair profit on an article of such moment to the manufacturer and vital importance to the poor as fuel, but we apprehend that a motive less respectable will be assigned for their zeal in this province of public economy. The truth is, that this anxiety has reference to the approaching ascendancy of Popery. It is natu rally and necessarily foreseen that the burning of Protestants, which will commence in a day or two, must be a serious charge at the present high pried of fuel, and will tend to raise the cost of coals to sum inconvenient even to ducal incomes. With this view, therefore, Ministers are casting about to reduce the taxes on importation of combustibles into the port of London. It is remarked, that the Duke's familiarity with prices at the pit's I mouth S by no means surprising, considering that he noW receives all his instructions direct from the gentle., man who has the management of the great bottom . less it itself. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 28.—Accounts are re' ceired from Malta to the 12th ult. Sir Pulteney Malcolm, with a squadron of five sail of the line, A frigate, and some smaller vessels, sailed on the 30th January for Naples, and was expected to return to Malta about the 19th ult. The Royal Marines of the squadron, for the last three months, had WO regularly brigaded on shore twice a week. On the 4th ult. the Wellesley arrived from Zante. Shd met the Ocean at sea, on her voyage to Navitrid and Smyrna, to relieve the Isis at the latter place. The Alacrity, Captain Nias, bad just arrived from Egina and Zante, having on board the master and three me►► of a piratical vessel, which she destroyed near Cassandro, it the Gulf of Salonica. She had brought several witnesses to prove the delinquency of the pirates, from one of the vessels they h a d robbed. The Philomel sloop of war was at Naples on the 6th instant, from whence she would proceed to Malta and then to England. The squadron under Sir Pulteney Malcolm had met with very bad wee' ther, and, what is very extraordinary for that mate, had experienced heavy falls of hail and sleet, and the frost was so severe as to form a considerable quantity of ice on the decks and rigging. The Pallas, 42, Captain Fitzelarence, is to pro; ceed to India, with General the Earl of Dalhous►e, who is appointed to succeed Lord Cotnbermere, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces.

A STFINIA is a complaint, well known ; and without feeling it necessary to say more on the ,tili ject of this painful Malady, or of the ii;iode by which its sufferers are' t be benef i ted, tl i tis Remedy is confidently recommen4d, as calculated to produce all the good li s tch'any oiwer of .Medicine can bestow. The connec tion between SrufulA 110 consutnption is generally ac knowledged, the lager being often nu more than constitu tional syyptopte, arising from a scrofulous habit ; and it often occurs, that when Serefula disappears from the sur face of the body, its venomous principle fixes upon the vital re4iou of the Lungs,—the Lungs 'non become mor tally aff-cted, and thus Consumption ensues. From these remarks it must appear evident, that if Medicine can cor rect the Scrofulous habit, and operate effectually op Scro fula iteelf, it mill at once übri.tte these dangerous and roe- Aancholy tendencies, the oftisPriog of - that lament a bl e an d estraetitie ~ lbs Order ; F!roprietor can confidently propose this Remedy for s'a datUable a put pose.

CLERGY in BEHALF of APOSTOLICAL CHRISTIANITY. The Liturgy of our Church Reformers in the Sixteenth Century is, (at that date what could it have been else?) a curious piece of Theological Mosaic : here a bit of Scrip ture, there a bit of Tradition ; in one part a transcript of Apostolical Devotion, in another, as dose a copy of the Roman Catholic Missal; jargon by fits and starts; gene rally speaking, glowing almost with the language of inspi ration : prayer in one form interrupted by doxologies in another : the Litany at daggers drawn with the antece dent mode of petition : and St. Athanasius in dim eclipse at dawn, blazing out in momentary effulgence at mid-day, and then again altogether shorn of his beams in the after noon. Now all this unquestionably cannot be alike right. If it matter not, which way, Purely our national worship might be uniform one way or the other. Sold by R. Hunter, St. Paul's Church-yard.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY. (Continued from our PAper of yesterday.) Dr. Has do not think that giving 50 guineas for a chicken is enough to prove a man mad. I told Mr. Davies that he was not under any obligation to the medical men who visited him, nor to the Lord Chancellor, who had sent his case to a commission. Mr. Davies did not say to me that he was not surprised that a commission had been issued after the affidavit had been made. I have not seen him since the 25th of November. Re-examined by Sir C. WETHERELL—A person decidedly insane may play very well at whist, and work problems in geometry. I have known such. I have known mad-men keep accounts correctly. I knew one such, who, if he had gained his liberty, would have murdered his own wife. A Juror having requested that Dr. Burrows might be recalled—the doctor stated, in answer to questions put to him, that the keepers at his esta ment had orders to restrain the patients from the commission of improper practices. Dr. Thomas Blundell re-called and examine L I have heard the statements which Dr. Haslam says Mr. Davies made respecting me and my conversa tions w lin him. They are a tissue of falsehoods. I never gave him any such account about a married man, nor did I ever make any such recommendation to him respecting the servant-maid. Cross-examined by Mr. BRODRRICK—I attended Mr. Pugh professionally. That was not a falsehood of Mr. Davies's, therefore. I told Mrs. Bywater the nature of Mr. Pugh's complaint. I did use the oxpression " there is a screw loose there." That, therefore, was not a falsehood of Mr. Davies's. Mr. Davies and I used to converse on medical subjects. He was fond of medical books, and he liked to con verse about gestation. I invited him to an intro ductory lecture, which pleased him very much. Mr. Davies was so modest, and had such disgust of im proper conversation, that I must have been not only a fool, but a madman, if I had ventured upon any such conversarions as those which he told Dr. Has lam I had had with him. Re-examined by Mr. WRIGHT—Mr. Pugh had no such disease as of the kind. The disease was the spitting of blood. I law that a vessel had given way. That was what I meant by there being a screw loose. I ‘vithed to intimate to Mrs. Bywater that he required imme diate care and attention. Neither directly nor indi lee ly did I allude to the disease. There is not the least foundation for what Mr. Davies told Dr. Ila+latn about making slips. I state this upon my oath. As to the servant maid, upon my oath I never said any thing of the !j:;(1. I did attend a maid 9..!7vant of Mr. Davies . T I told hint I thought her . gritty; tninie'si;velf-beliaved girl : that apprehended sh . o would go into a Consumption ; and that I Shoidd ad v ise 'her being sent back to her na tive place in Walils. D i r. I,3,lundell heie l' egged that he might he al lowed to say a few ‘vor:.: 1N.11;,,t AL., DA vies hal sal4 cc' him to r Ltllain. He said that th 'e'; - i1) z, .::.. ; 1:461iity that should, and the responsibility that did, attach to a physician, rendered it highly necessary that he should no: alto v such imputations to pass without notice. Mr. ADOLPIILS—I think Dr, Blundell. you toay be perf ect l y cal on that (.0!-;!, ; 7 ,)r n;:,) own part, I not only !!lt, yam;; 4 l . tny th!ng of the but 'l',.Vi'Ae th'atrMr. 'Daxies never ;;gir t jrnri dill: • e " ..

The Commissioners at last observed, that as all hints were lost upon the ladies, it would not be necessary to consult their feelings any farther.] Mr. Pollard—l am superintendant of Dr. Bur rows's establishment at Chtp!nun. Mr. Davies Was here with me on Monday. He expressed a wish to hear the inquiry. He wished to have an opportu nity to propose questions for the examination of wit nesses. I was present with Mr. Davies, Dr. Bur rows, and Mr. Davies's sister. Mr. Davies - carried . an indecent conversation on the subject of a charge against himself of unnattwal- peopsusities. Dr. Burrows remonstrated with him, but he 'con tinued the conversation. I believe Mr. Davies to have been of unsound mind from the 19th August, and that he is so at the present day. There is a boy at the establishment. of three or four years old. Mr. Davies is more • reserved now than when he firs! came to the establishment. (Witnese was allowed to speak from his notes.) The reserve began after Mr. Holder's first visit—about the 7th, Bth, 9th, or 10th of September. Mr. Davies settles:A Ws: answer questions put to him to elicit delusions. When I referred to the indelicate conversation he had held in the presence of Dr. Burrows and Mrs. Pugh, Mr. Davies declined "to of the Subject. On Wed oesday last he told me he had Isitenreadirsg the evi dence of his aunt, - Mni:lrriLksliaick;and said it aps plowed incredible evidence to him—that it contained it vast number of untruths. I asked him whether a part of his aunt's evidence was not true? He said he did not know ; but that I might be able to recsll it to his recollection. I said, "Do yob, not recol let the 'first visit your aunt paid vou here?" He said, " Yes." "Do you not recollect, on that oc casion, your stating that your aunt had come to kid nap you ?" He answered, " Yes." " You be lieved it to be true ?" I asked. " Yes." "Do you now believe that your aunt intended to kidnap you 1" " Yes." Nothing more on this point was gained. Mr. Davies ft equently cries. I never could discover the cause. Ile laughs frequently, sometimes loudly. He never stated to me the cause of his laughter. I see a great deal of insane per sons ; they laugh and cry in the same manner us Mr. Davies. There may be a cause for their laughter and crying, but there is no cause apparent ; I ant not aware of it. There seemed to be no cause for the laughing or crying in Mr. Davies's case. If aw nothing to cause it. I can't tell what passes in Mr. Davies's mind. Up to Wednesday lust I had rea son to suppose him of unsound mind. Nothing has occurred since to vary that opinion. Mr. Davies has been treated with the greatest possible kindness in the establishment, us fur as my knowledge goes. He complained at one time of certain allusions on the part of the keepers. Numbers of medical men have visited at the establishment. Cross-exlmined by Mr.BROUGIIAM—I put ques tions to Mr. Davies till the point was gained. I did it of my own accord. I had not seen Mr. Jones on the subject previously, nor any one else. I told nobody before the examination that I meant to question Mr. Davies. It was on Wednesday I examined Mr. Davies. He told me he had read her evidence in the newspapers. I believe I had seen the evidence in the newspapers that day. I have been six years at the Retreat ...tier Ur. Burrows : my salary is MO guineas a year, besides lodging and board. Mrs. Pollard has no salary, but lives at the establishment. I was before in another esta blishment of Dr. Burrows's at a different place. I am not a medical man: ant of no trade or profession. I lived with my father, I knew that the medical men came at the instance of Mr. Nobler and Mr. Davies's friends. By Mr. PlltutimoßE—On Wednesday last Mr. Davies betrayed a delusion. I have seen him every day since. We have conversed on the inquiry noa going on. I have not traced any delusion since; but I have no doubt Mr. Davies is now of unsound mind, and incapable of managing his affairs. Taking the mean time, I have seen Mr. Davies 20 minutes at a time every day since Wednesday. By a Juror—l have seen no symptoms of un soundness since Wednesday. I came with him here tn.. day in a coach. We conversed about the inquiry, and other matters. By the CoURT—He di,l not take an accuttre view of the inquhy. lie denied the evidence of the medical men, and the existence of delu,ions. By a Juror—He is improved lately. By the COURT—It was on Wednesday evening ['conversed with Mr. Davies on the subject of Mrs. Brooksbank's evidence, about eight o'clock in the evening of Wednesday last. An evening news paper had just arrived ; and Mr. Davies might have seen it. I cannot say positively that he did. I beg to explain a mistake in my evidence. 1 kept a boarding- s chool before I became an assistant to Dr. Burrows. A Juror—Was it for young ladies or gentlemen ? —( A laugh.)—For young gentlemen. William Mitten examined by Sir C. WETHERELL -4 am a servant of Dr. Burrows, at the Retreat, at Clapham. I took Mr. Davies there, and at tended him for about a fortnight after his going there. Witness proceeded to say he had never charged Mr. Davies with being guilty of improper habits. I did not do so by words, signs, or ges tures. Nobody did so in my presence. - I was at Crouch-hill with Mr. Davies from the 4th to tin 14th of August. George Bywater was there; hi curbed Mr. Davies in his way of talking, and told him to be very cautious how he spoke or addressed any body. Cross-examined by Mr. Anommus—l took Mr. Davies from Fundval's-inn Coffee,housa to Crouch hill. When he went out fo;lowed, and observed him. Mr. Davies atiended to Mr. Bywater's advice while the 'ratter was at Crouch-hill. At times Mr Davies ate his dinner by himself. He dressed and shaved himself. He was under no restraint with respect to his razors, &e. while at Crouch-hill. I was not constantly with Mr. Davies, j went about the house, and was once or twice in the billiard room. Dr. Burrows used to be ut the Retreat twice a week,,-on Tuesdays and Saturdays. lle stayed from one to three. There might be twenty patients at the Retreat at this time. I can't swear that Dr. Burrows was ever an hour, or a quarter of an hour, at a time with Mr. Davies. There were workmen at the house when Mr. Davies was there. I heard a straight-waistcoat mentioned in Mr. Davies's }war ing at Crouch•hill. Mr. Davies was Ner: violent, and Dr. Burrows had oecasioTi to t4ention 'tite waist coast, but it was isetiatieed. Mr. Darks had brol;in 0•9 panes of glass in attemptin g t o fly through tie window. At this time Dr. Burrows was' coming to the door. Mr. Davies stk.ov i to break the window-frame.

Ile said agt acrid system of deceit was kept up, and false tutu u•ed in his establishment. This interview lasted oil( lint X and three quarters. I saw no affidavits b. fore the first visit. I saw some on both sides be the se coml. On the third visit, on the 26 hof November, when I arrived at the Retreat, Mr. Davits refu'ed to see me. He sent down a message by Mrs. Pol lard, saying thst ha unstee.o.od I considered hint war declining to see 1111". However, I wcnt up to his door. He said, "- Sir, I consider you h,ve intruded; but seeing a gentleman at my door, I shall not refuse to speak to you." 1 went into the tome. He betrayed a reluctance to answer my questions.— I asked him whether he had walked about with pistols ? He said he has. I asked him what book he had taken to Mr. listakey's. --He reptvd, Mr. Lawrence's Lectures. He expressed a hope that I had changed my opinion as to his sanity. I was perfectly satisfied that his mind was unsound, that his imaginations were of a formidable de• ctiption, and such as frequently lead to suicide. I do not consider Mr. Davies to be safe ut large. 1 think there would have been considerable risk in allowing him to go abroad under such impressions as he en tertained on the 26th of November. There would probably have been considerable personal tisk to himself. :ClOll/1. [The papers referred to as written under the dic tation of Mr. Davies, on the 18th of Octobw, woe here put in, proved, and real. They weirs to the effect desetibed by the witness, and referred to the auspicious supposed by Mr. Davies to exist against him.] Cross-examined by Mr. ADotxttus—The papers were written at the dictation of Mr. Davies, ver batim. He was very free in his conununications, both upon the 17th and 18th of October. I never knew Mr. Davies before seeing him at Clapham. consequently I can't tell whether his ordinary actioo was theatrical. Different persons make u, , e of dif fetent modes of gesture. I infer nothing from Dr. Haslam's extravagant action this morning, for in •tance..--,(Laughter.)—l think the fact of Mr. Davies having taken up important nations on slight, and absurd grounds a proof of insanity. Dr. Sutherland was examitwd by Sir C. 'We, THERELL—He saw Mr. Davies once, in omipany with Dr. Munro, an d confirmed the stitements nude by that gentleman. In his opinion, Mr. DAvios was of unsound mind. Cross-examined by Mr. RitQUIIIIAII—Charzes or insinuations, such as Mr, Davies referred to, rnigh;t well shake the stronkest and stoutest wird. 'rhey would, in all pro,babiitity, produce a greatet effect on perzon oft:44oc and delicate habits. Re•examined by Sir C. WuTitturtELL—A belief of the existence of such thsrl.res or insinuations;,. without sufficient grounds, was in itself an evidthset of insanity. Sir 'George Ttkthill examined by a Juror---irr. Davies was a better state, bodily and tnev.tal, it the tittle of my last visit than when I firt, him. The delusion respecting his relay yes was limed.

At eleven o'clock the Commissioners took their seats, the names of the Jury were called over, and Sir C. WITHERALL stated they were in the hands of the Jury as to the production of Mr. Davies and the summing up of the evidence. The Ciller COM3IISSIONER observed it was usual for the alleged lunatic to be examined, that the Jury might form an opinion as to his state. Ile should therefore re quest the Jury to retire with them for the purpose of that examination, but it must be understood that no person ex cept the Commissioners, Jury, and Counsel, were to be allowed to attend. It must also be understood that the same course was to be adopted in the examination of the lunatic tLat had been on former occasions, namely, that that the Commissioners were first to examine the lunatic, and then the Jury. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL apprehended, that in all cases it was the undoubted right of Counsel to put any questions they thought proper. The CHIRP COMMISSIONER should be obliged if Sir Charles would refer to any case in which such a course had Leen adopted. Ile had now been x Commi.sioner some time, and be did not recollect one: Sir CsrAltLE3 WETHERELL had done it repeatedly in Shia room. In Franks's case he bad pursued such a course. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER thought such a amuse at tended with great inconvenience, for in the result it would lead to a cross-examination. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL submitted, any examination that would elicit trouble ought to be made. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER observed, that the regular comae pursued, under all commissions of lunacy, could not he departed from on this. The Commissioners, Counsel, and Jury then retired, at twenty minutes pest eleven o'clock, for the purpose of examining the lunatic, and had not returned when we left at two o'clock. THE.

The following are extracts from Germar Papers : MARSIILLZI, DIC. 2. We have good reason to believe that all that has been said of the ambitious projects of Mehemet Ali Pacha, of Egypt, is founded on mere fiction. A pers , ,n who has lately arrived here from Alexandria, and whose situation afforded him the means of making himself acquainted with the real sentiments of that extraordinary man, asserts that be is very far from desiring to dissolve the ties which unite him with the Porte. He is too well acquainted with the policy of Europe not to he aware what interest it takes in the preservatiOn of the Ottoman empire ; hence he infers that any attempt to make himself independent, though crowned with success for the moment, would, in the end, only hazard his own existence. At this moment English influence preponderates in the Divan at Cairo; but if the interests of France were in more able hands than thus.: of M. Drovetti, we might be tt_•e more confident that Mehe. met would again be disposed to favour us, as be has a per sonal regard for the French, and most of the foreigners in his service are of that nation. MUNICH, DEC. 11. Accounts from Greece inform us, that at the same time with Colonel Iliedegger and Captain Sclinitzlein, the Bavarian physician, Dr. Zuecarini, quitted the Greek service. Having been sect by favour of his Majesty to the Morea in 1828, to prosecute his studies in the service of suffering humanity, he has succeeded, by the organization of the hospital, &c. in rendering great services to the medi cal system of the infant State, which testified its grateful appreciation of his services by appointing him chief physi cian to the regular troops. In this capacity he had last summer the good fortune to cure most of the members of the scientific expedition from France, at the head of which is Colonel Baydeft Venaint, who were all dangerously ill of the prevalent bilious and nervous fevers. The departure of the last of his countrymen, and still snore the conviction that as the internal affairs of the country are brought into petit, e.reien aid was no longer necessary, induced him, in August last, also to quit. st Greek service, and in prosecution of his medical service, to engage for a time In the same quality of physician to the staff on board. the Russian fleet. His friends expect him home next summer. Batumi, DEC. 10. Lieutenant-General Von Muffling is appointed Com manding-General in Westphalia. But before he enters on this office, he will for a time continue his functions as chief of the general staff of the army, and also accompany his Royal Highness Prince Albert on a journey to St. Petersburgh. It is reported that the Crown Princess will also visit Russia next spring, in consequence of the affec tionate invitation of her Majesty the Empress, when she was here last summer.

The Liberty of the Press in Great Britain, ►notwithstanding the anomalies of the Law of Libel, has secured itself so firm a support in the public opinion, from which alone the Go vernment derives its tenure and holds its exist ence, that any attempt on the part either of the Legislature, or the Executive, to shake or injure it would be both futile in itself and dangerous to the assailant. The freedom of circulating their opinions is valued too highly by all sensible Englishmen to allow them to entertain for a mo ment the apprehension that the English Govern ment, present or future, would ever have teme rity enough to endeavor to encroach upon the right which may in truth be called the great charter of civilized society. Enjoying, as we do, so large a share of free dom, it is our bounden duty to assist other nations less fortunate than ourselves, in the maintenance of those liberties upon which their happiness, like our own, mainly depends. We are therefore desirous of holding up to indigna tion and scorn the insidious and tyrannical at tenipt .4. 6 the King of the NETHERLANDS to stifle the exp..e.:,skn of the sentiments of his subjects on the laws by which Om are governed, and the manner in which those laws are executed. His Dutch MAJESTY is afraid of the truth'' being heard, and he therefore has proposed to his Chambers a Project, authorising tbg jar prisonment of all those who shall attack the dignity of the Royal Family, who shall manifest hostile sentiments towards the KING, or con getupt of the Ordinances emanating from him ; 41 o§l 1 be zNilty of attacks upon the obligatory force a g.xistip g h v is, pt exciting disobedience thereto, shall sOvf clisunio.n ,0r suspicion ; and finally, wlio shall attack or in sult the Government, or one rge iia brnnches, or ~-,.:firage its acts, or calumniate its intentions, or endeavaw 1 / .7 sap its authority. It is plain, that ;7 1 4;;* . s Project were to pas into A law, no person in the til,etk4,.!:ds could safo.ly .spestic write any ,thing concerning ( thc: KJN,G, his Government, or the Laws, unless it Fere 4.0 applaud and magnify *eia. A list of coneructive offences is created, and inen : raq found guilty and condemned, according t 9 ,th g goud will and pleasure of the Judges, for any mention of the political state of the country Whidi may be pronounced to be wiusult. to the powers that be, or a calunznia lion of their intentions. If any per Son therefore should intimate a doubt whether this very law was projected with the intention of liberating the Press, because it ui words annihilated it, he may be convicted of a calumny on the intentions of the Government and imprisoned for three years. There is a proverb, that " Hell is paved with good intentions." However excellent, pl - and pure, may be the intentions of the King of the NETHERLANDS, according to his own account, in this proceeding, we, in Eng land, who do not profess to judge of motives otherwise than by.acts, must regard the new law as one of the most execrable abortions with which continental despotism has ever attempted to disgust mankind. But, it may be said, people will not be imprisoned arbitrarily—they will have their trial. What kind of trial? Why, by the Judges, the KING'S servants and organs; for, unhappily, in the Ne therl‘nrir. Trial by Jury does not exist. If it did, this law would be a dead letter, as:the KING well knows; for where the people have the admi nistration of justice in their own hands, they wear an armour of mail which the weapons of tyranny have not the power to penetrate. Th' preamble to the Project, so far as it speaks of the KING'S anxiety for liberty of COn.. science, and so on, is mere hypocrisy. If he feels any such anxiety, why has he interfered with the rights of the Catholic Church in Belgium, in a manner which has roused the resentment of the Catholics to a man, and has caused their union with the reformers to oppose the measures ofan unjust Government ? Again, what means the assertion, that the responsibility of Ministers is inconsistent with " the preservation of our political institution," and that the circumstances of the Netherlands do not resemble those of other countries, where such resposibility exists without inconvenience ? Experience in all coun tries has shown that Ministers, like other men, will not act honestly unless they are accountable for their actions; and if, in addition to the maxim " the King can do no wrong," it is established that " the Ministers can do no wrong," it can not be wondered that they are labouring to destroy the Press, or any other institution that can guard the people from oppression. It is impossible to suppose that this law will pass the States-General, who are asked in De cember to shackle the liberty they proclaimed in May, when they repealed the obnoxious statute under which two of the best men in Europe are now suffering in the prison of the Petits-Carmes. We know enough of the state of feeling in the Netherlands to predict that if it is persisted in, the country will be driven to a degree of excite ment, of which a Revolution would be the almost certain result. The Belgians have pecu liar causes of dissatisfaction, but this blo,v is dealt equally against Holland and Belgium, and will be equally resented by both. Our hope is that it will likewise be resented by Great Bri tain, by France, and the other nations of the earth, who know that the best preservative of peace and freedom in the civilized world, is the sense exnressed by surrounding countries of outrages committed upon the rights of the mem bers of any one national society. Such an out rage has been attempted in the Netherlands— but if the voice of honest and independent men, within and without that kingdom, be raised strongly against it—the arm of oppression will fall powerless by its side, and the oppressor retire overwhelmed with confusion and dismay. tit r AT ONE O'CLOCK.

THE KING v. ALEXANDER, FISHER, AND GUTCH. This case being specially appointed for this morning, the Court, at an early hour, was very touch crowded. Mr. Alexander entered a few minutes after nine o'clock, and took his-seat in front of the King's Counsel, where a table had been placed for his accommodation. Lord TENTERDEN entered the Court precisely at half past nine o'clock. On the Bench with his Lordship we noticed Lord Holland, Lord Bexley, the Master of the Rolls, the Lard Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and Mr. Baron Vaughan. Several Members of the House of Commons were pre sent, amongst whom were Sir Robert Inglis, &c. &c. The case of the King v. Alexander and others having been called on, the following gentlemen were sworn upon the Jury : Thomas Ponten, Esq. Foreman. Thomas Lemon, Esq. John Lambert, merchant. Robert Hawthorn, merchant. Stephen Cox, Esq. John Thompson, Esq. John Matthewson, merchant. Frederick Peter Ripley, Esq. William Knight, merchant. Charles Henry Hopkins, Esq. • John Cherrington, Esq. Charles 'William Hallett, banker. George Spurs, Esq. was called and entered the Jury box; but it being ascertained that his name was spelt " Spiers" on the panel, he was rejected, and another gen tleman galled. The Counsel for the prosecution were—the ATroateET and S O LICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. ALDKIt son, and Mr. WIGIITBIAI4 ; for the defendants (Gutch and Fisher), Messrs. FREDERICK POLLOCK, HILL, and BARSTOW. Mr. Alexander conducted his own defence. Mr. WIGHTMAIT opened the pleadings, by stating that this was an ex-officio information filed by his Majesty's Attorney-General against the defendants, who were the editor, printer, and proprietor of a certain newspaper, called the Morning Journal. The information contained several counts ; the first of which is, that the defendants, on the 30th of May lust, published a false and malicious falsehood of and concerning his Majesty's Government.— The second count was, that they had published a scanda lous and malicious libel of and concerning the Right Hon. Lord Lyndhurst, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain; and the third count charged them with publishing a false and malicious libel, calculated to brine the Administration of the country into contempt. There are other counts, varying the forms of the charge. The ATTORNKV-GENEILAL then rose and said, may it please your Lordship and Gentlemen of the Jury. My Learned Friend, who has opened this proceeding, has -made-you acquainted that this is an information which I have thought it my duty, in my official capacity, to bring before you for your decision. Gentlemen, the information charges the defendants on this record, with having pub lished a libel of a very serious character, one which, un questionably, as far as my humble judgment goes, could not have been passed over without animadversion, unless I were to neglect, as far as I was concerned, a licentious attack upon every person of honour and rank in this king dom, and were to lend myself to the notion that seems very much to prevail, that he who acquires office and dignity under his Majesty becomes subject to the contumely o his Majesty's subjects. Gentlemen, I know very well that in every proceeding in which an attempt is made to put down the licentiousness of the Press, it is supposed by some persons that some secret attack is meditated against the liberty of the Press. Those who take their opinions from the periodical Press exclusively, might be very apt to form that judgment : on that account it is that I beg to intro duce the description of this offence to you by two or three preliminary observations, in order that the liberty of the Press may be fully understood, and that those may be un deceived who suppose that any prosecution of this nature has for its object an attack on such liberty of the Press. Gentle men, the liberty of the Press consists in the privilege which every Englishman enjoys, of a man publishing every thing he pleases. The history of the Press of England gave rise to what was supposed to be an authority vested in the Crown, to restrain his Majesty's subjects from publication. Tile first Press was introduced into this country, as it is said, by King Henry VII., and as that was a privilege granted by the Clown, an opinion grew up that no one lied a liberty to publish except by tug permission of the Crown. That opinion gained ground, and became more and more general, until it expired soon after the Revolution in 1688. From that period it has been fully understood, but I may say almost exclusively in this country, that no previous restraint on any sort of publication could exist by law; that eve") , man had free liberty to print and publish what ever he thought fit, subject however to all the consequences that might attach to any infringement in point of law, in making a wanton attack on the charac- ter of others, or upon the Government, by which the publication is protected. To say that to bring to punish ment the abuse of this influence is an attack on the liberty of the Press, is, in fact, much the same sort of argument as if one were to sty, that any attempt to re strain murder or robbery was a restraint upon the arms and limbs of any individual, because although the King's subjects have a right to use their limbs without any restraint whatever, yet they have no right to employ them in a way calculated to make an attack on the lives and properties of their neigh bour. In like manner we have all a right to publish what ever we think fit, without limitation, but that license is not to carry us to the extent of making attacks upon hell viduais, or upon the institutions of the country. If, in deed, a general permission were given—if the law not only permitted men to publish what they please, but evinced a total freedom from all punishment with respect to whatsoever they did publish, just see what the conse quences would be to tffe Press itself. At present, no man who lives in this age can doubt, that the Press has a most powerful influence over public and private conduct, an influence that, when the Press is well con ducted, would be highly salutary, of the greatest import ance, and increase with the increasing education and in telligence of the nations of Europe ; but if it were once understood that the Press should beat liberty, unrestrained by any fear of punishment, to indulge in all manner of abuse, that it was one of the privileges attached to the right of publication, that a total impunity should be at tached to it, see what the consequences would necessarily be: so far from possessing that moral influence which a well-regulated Press must and ought to possess, the re sult of that licence would be, to throw the Press into a state of degradation and contempt, which would certainly destroy all its influence, and leave it to be considered as wholly unworthy of all respect ; so that the praise, the censure, the statements coining from that quarter would entirely lose all character and influence. Those, thero fore, m ho judge rightly on this subject, those who are sen sible of the great blessings—and no man is more sensible • than I am—of a free Press, must be anxious to keep it possessed of that influence which the moral power of the liberty of the Press ought to have, an influence which it can in no otherwise possess titan by the law correcting the extreme licentiousness which brings it into degradation and contempt. Although I think I may venture tosay that the publication I now bring before you is one of that nature which, had it been permitted to have passed unobserved among a variety of others, which indeed distinguished too much the age in which it lives, would bare had effect of putting every part of the Press on its own level; for if those who conduct the Press with discrimination, with decency, and with caution, are to stand in competition with those who conduct it in the manner this newspaper ha, been carried en — e if they are to be placed on the same level, it is inapoe eible that they ean he treated with respect, but that they point all be ereeted with the utmost contempt. Gentle man, I shall ne v er be either here or any where *4O, e l se , et any ;hoe, of avowing my owia oOtion, upon a subject of this nature. I confese, therefore, poldiely and freely, that I am one of those wit' think, and leave frequently thought at various periods within the last ten years, that the licence of the Press has been too much u nrestrained. I am free to say that I have thought the wholesome use of the Press would have been better ereserved, if somewhat more of correction had been es nee; interest , ; and that the particular period at place, I to ty say, that probably there sever l ' l t ‘ t L • l aT i' a a tt n e'tt ° :eltri the these of pehlie end liecoine so'inuch" - a'ireile tai ett.'thrir. time. The ptibliOatiO 4 iilt . eetle4'is celled 'the M' fining'. na l, There are three persees who are eleitged tvidi the I ta r e „ ce . I btlievethey are th e p ro p r i e tors—the reoet/iy I)l .,, pi e e tois of this journal ; the one is a Mr. Clutch, and Mr. Fisher, and a Mr. Alexander, who, as I ant informed, is the a uthor of this libel, anti the principal editor—a c,• s ees , Who, from the style in which he writes, of tWhiet " e eeee rote but it is said he hiss beers the author of - tiewv pater - th a te;i,..60 - ,;t':;1 . „; e , ; ; e,ttry. I . He seems to hare: thought thaaearye neent,:;•34heit'.pliieil t Lr likely to be placed ; in a station of elignity end :ben -iv, be mimes a fair subject for abuse, and among the resit my Lord Chancellor did not escape. Now, Gentlemen, I own it appears to me, that thou , p, r.;0115 W 13,0 are placed in high and eminent situations, although their public con- Juct may he very well exposed to discussion, yet it is not to he considered that merely on account of their eminence they are to have their private character introduced before the public for the purpose of slander and abuse. It is not because a man is a Minister of State or a Lord Chancellor, that every jackanapes or pretender who can write a newspaper, can have a right to attack him. Let the public measures of the Government be publicly dis cussed, let them be discussed fairly and openly, and no body has ever ventured to deny the right to disease public measures before a public forum ; hut I for one, will never admit that, 'oecause a man becomes a public man, you are to attack him, and reproach him, maliciously and unprovoked at pleasure. The publication that I am now about to bring before you is published in two characters, it is an attack on the Lord Chancellor, charging him with a species of corruption that would render him unworthy of his situation, and the Lord Chan cellor could not but feel that the attack called for some reprehension ; but, in considering the subject of this libel I own, it app•rars to me, that the attack penetrates much deeper than merely into the situation of Lord Chancellor. The writer of this article, no doubt, intended to traduce the private honour of that distinguished indi vidual, but he intended still more—he intended to hold up the administration of his Majesty's Government end:his Councils to public odium, by casting on them an imputation that persons . are permitted to fill them, not on account of their merit, their honour, and their honesty, but from corrupt and un worthy causes. It was at the period when my Honourable and Learned Friend, who sits besides me, the Solicitor-General, was reported to be destined to the situation he now so honourably fills, that this publication took place ; and the gentleman who wrote it, although I presume he knows nothing of my Hon. and Learned Friend, and perhaps had never seen his face, yet thought it impossible that his Majesty could se lect a gentleman, who by his own industry, his talents, and his great learning, had placed himself in point of prac tice at the head of the bar of the Court of Chancery—im possible to select that gentleman to fill the high office he now fills, without some corrupt motive on the part of some one of his Majesty's advisers. If that be the state of the Government of this country, that it is impossible any man, however eminent his talents and character, can arrive at such dignity and honour as to enjoy the privi lege of serving the public unless be gives some corrupt consideration for it, our free Government, so far from deserving the admiration of mankind, as it is said it does deserve, merits nothing but reproach. Gentlemen, you will judge when you come to read the libel what was the object of the gentleman who wrote it. Whether it was to cast a stigma on the character of the Lord Chancellor, to degrade my Honourable and Learned Friend, or to throw an imputation on the Government itself—in whatever light you view it, the defendants are equally liable to the punishment of the law. Gentlemen, I shall now state to you the passage and the comments upon it. It is of the 30th of May, 1829. The leading article is this:— " The appointment of Sir Nicholas Tindal to the Common Pleas, and Sir J. Scarlett to the Attorney-Ge neralship, has already taken place. Mr. Brougham, we understand, was offered the situation of Solicitor- Gene ral."—(Here Mr. Brougham, who was sitting next the Solicitor-General, laughed heartily.) One is really sur prised how these gentlemen get their knowledge. And what understanding this gentleman has you will see bye and bye. The value of the facts he had to build his un derstanding upon I very much doubt—" but he declined it in favour of the Rolls." The writer knows a great deal of the world to be sure—(Laughter)—" to which he looks forward, and to which he considers lie has ajust claim on the first vacancy. Mr. Sugden is to be Solicitor-General." Now this gentlemen is in possession of more secrets than any one of the Cabinet Ministers. " The reasons which led to this promotion are really so natural, that we beg leave to ex plain them as Sterne would have done by the mouths of his inimitable Uncle Toby and Corporal Trim." The reason of what promotion? The reason of Mr. Sugden's promotion to the Solicitor-Genetalship--and then he gives the fallowing dialogue between " Uncle Toby and Corporal Trim." " ' Uncle Toby—lt a Paymaster, or a Barrack-master lend money to his Commanding officer, what should 1 e expect? " ' Trim—To be promoted of course, your Honour. " Uncle Toby—lf a Captain, a tall broad-shouldered fellow, for instance, who has married a rich dowager, should lend a thousand pounds to his Colonel, what does be look for? "' Trim—To be made a:Major the first opportunity; and as your Honour knows,:God bless you, to be placed in the way of higher preferment. • "` Uncle Toby—And if a Major should lend his General all his fortune—say thirty thousand pounds, for example-- what then ? " ' Trini—To be placed in the General's shoes, your Honour, before the end of the campaign.' " Now comes the remark of the Editor upon this libel.— " This is, we admit, quite satisfactory." Satisfactory ! In what sense ? Why, in the sense in which he intro duces his reason for Mr. Sugdeu's promotion—" There is reason in this merit." What merit? Why, its the merit that the individual who is the "Learned Personage" mentioned here, should, for the advance of thirty thousand pouusls, appoint Mr. Sugden to the Solicitor-Generalship. "And there is point, too, in the argument which Mr. Sugden and another Learned Personage trial be at no loss to comprehend." Now, Gentlemen, let us pause here for a moment and ask our selves what other possible meaning this waiter could have had, or rather what other possible meaning those who read it could attach to it than this, that the cause of any Learned and Hon. Friend's promotion is that srciee of promotion pointed out in the - libel—that he has lent 30,000/., that there is reason in that merit, and that Mr. Sugden will understand the point of argument, and that also another Learned Personage will understand it. Now who is that Learned Personage? I believe no man who ever read this paragraph entertained a doubt that the writer meant to point to the Lord Chancellor; awl 1 will show you by and bye, by another passage, that he really did, mean to point to the Lord Chancellor, iu order to give currency to some scandalous reports that that Noble Lord required pecuniary assistance—a report which he, I sup pose, and his coadjutors, took pains to circulate for the purpose of detracting from the honour of his character ; and you will see how, having introduced this into the Leading Article, he who reads the other little part will attach meaning to that Leading- Article. It is a very vulgar opinion, and the gentleman who writes this, will excuse me, if I do not exclude him from the number of those who entertain that vulgar notion, that the Lord Chancellor has a great deal to do with the nominaticn to the office of the Solicitor-General. Now those who read this, and who imagine that the Lord Chancellor is the per son who is mainly concerned in making the appointment, or in getting the promotion, would naturally suppose that the person who procured the promotion was the person to get the pecuniary consideration ; and to whom else can you apply it, but to the Lord Chancellor ? —My Lord Eldon, we all know is a very " Learned Personage,"—ne man more so—but the writer could not mean him._ He could not mean the Noble Lord who presides on this occasion, because nobody would sup pose that he could have any political influence with respect to filling the situation. Who is the "Lest ned Personage" then? Some learned personage there must be, according to the understanding af the writer, who, it seems, will un derstand the point in the argument, and Mr. Sugden, that is, any Hon. and Learned Friend, who is promoted to the situation, he will understand the point in the argument and the merit of that promotion which any Hon. and Learned Friend was then supposed to be destined for. And again, although the dialogue is put, as it were, between two mili tary men, yet you know the character of a Commander-' in-Chief, by an easy transition, may be applied to the Commander-ineChiel of the profession of the law, as well Ifs the Commander-in-Chief of an army. The Corr,' al is speaking here of promotion in the army, - 1)0 the writer means to apply that to the law. Therefore, with re spect to promotion in, the army, the loan of 30,0001. would enable a Major to he platted in the shoes of hie General before the end of the campaign. In law you would naturally soppose that my Honourable and Learned Friend t w h o e u L ld or li d e Chancellor now end d v b tl ye l la t . ') fl i g lu t t h , e g i et l l;4 “ tp 3 n ti ,ll - } v at, hi z e t h o doubt may be left of the intention of the writer, let us tra vel to another part of this paper. Now I will suppose that any hotly who read this should consider that it is some lawyer, some legal personage, who wants this 30,0001. and who has applied to borrow it, and that he imagines that individual to be the Lord Chancellor: then we shall turn ro - .;nd to another part of the piper and see how the writer paititi it out wzzin.

Mr. Guteli . }Fas,iigßtistol at the time, and entirely ignorant of it.. The ; Le:awe] Gentleman then went on to cile some cane , iii .suppert. of his position.— He knew that Guteh was convicted, be enehl carry it to the Thatse . of Virds. It 'lied been &Med by the authorities, except, n th win the case of a "inistlbby; that any aervant or other person catryi: i a letter whieli-ceriteineel ;Rid. he was legally reapettsible, although that person might nut be able to send or write. When such a case once came.before a. Jury, they lamented that they w ere obliged to convict, and recommended the their Attorney- General to. relinquish the prosecution, by withdrawing a Jury which he consented to. And he (Mr. Pene e k) would note ask the Attorney-General of the present day, if he could for one moment think that lie should sacrifice his duty in adopting a similar course with respect to Mr. Gutch, fur it never coul4 be contended for a moment, that that gentleman had any actual participation' . in the alleged libel. He knew there were some more points to which the Attorney-General could allude, but he also know his. Learned Friend's public and private opinion in cases not only where the liberty of the Press was concerned, but in All others, was to look at them in all their bearings and wish fur them to be cited according to their merits. The Learned Counsel then alluded to several cases where the parties pro'ecuted stood in the same situation as Mr. Gutch, particularly to one in which Mr. Jones, a publisher of St. Paul's Church-yard, was convicted and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment fir a libel on the Russian Ambassador ; shortly after that sentence was pronounced Lord Erskine, in his place in that Court,described it as the most infamous judgment that ever dise raced a Court of Justice, Mr. Jones being, at the time the libel was pub lished, on a sick bed in the country. "I have thought of said. his Lordship, " as I.lay on my bed, and have started from my sleep with honor, I have slept again, and 'again have I started, and on my death-bed shall I view such. a proceeding with utter abhorrence." And this (continued Mr. Pollock) is the law, that is called the perfection of }stamen reasoning ; be .should wish a just principle of Jaw to prevail at all times ; he wished for no proceeding but what would receive the approbation of all honest men. He would now call their attention to . a few cases, to .show how easily .an innocent persten might be lad astray. . Suppose a man prepares an article of food in which he mixes poison, and he then orders his serv t ant to carry it to his neigh bour as a present, the servan replies, and the murderer's design is completed. Would any man of common sense consider that the servant was culpable, or feel at all indite nant at the part that he took in the transaction ? Such a conclusion never could be come to, except in China, where blood calls for blood with such blind unre lenting fury. Would he not rather be thought of with commisseration and pity, and who would ever sup pose that the servant had ever been guilty of murder? And yet in the case of an errand-boy, who could neither read nor write, it had been held that he was legally responsible for the lines which he con veyed. Hail it riot been for the respect he felt for the Bench, he should certainly call such a decision nonsense. He wished to treat the venerable Judges with all the re spect their situation called fir, but when he heard them pronounce decisions fraught with so much injury and evil, he could not help von utterance to his feelings. Ile hoped, however, the warmth with which he did it would not lose its eftiect with the Jury, but that they would coolly consider the verdict they were about to pronounce, and that they would administer justice. There was no foundation in the Attorney-Gene ral telling them that this was a libel in law, fir there was no established rule to know what was a libel awl what was not. Suppose a person offered to buy a share in a bookseller's shop, and although he took no active part in the business, yet, according to the Attorney-General he was liable for every work published in that concern. lie knew that he was liable to all losses ; but suppose his part ner was to commit forgery, and by means of a forged power of 'attorney, this person himself, not know that the power of attorney was forged,was to proceed to thellank and s• 11 out stock, would it not be an insult to common sense to suppose that he could be convicted of forgery ? The Learned Counsel then iits:anced several other cases of a similar description, and contended, that he wished the Press to be protected by the same rights as other property. Why should the Press be picked out for punishment t Why should it not have some certain rule of guidance ? The present law was defended on its expediency, but he thought that a poor excuse for suffering such an unsettleed state of things to exist. The Legislature ought clearly to define the law of libel, and he should like to see their individual recorded notes on such a measure. He could fancy his Learned Friend, the Attorney-General—standing in his place in Parliament, and prepoeinse a Bill to the following effect:—cc Mr. Speaker, I hold in my land a Bill, of which the preamble is—' Whereas, knowledge is power, and power is dangerous, be it enacted, that from and after the date hereof, that all publications, either periodically or otherwise, which diffuse knowledge, shill bedeemed guilty of a m'sdeineenour and:punished according as this Act further directs."—(Laughter.)--And, said Mr. Pollock, it would not be an inappropriate title to call it a Bill to Prevent Useful Knowledge.—(Laughter.)—Newspapers were an invaluable property, and if a person devised such a property to his children, why should it not be protected in the same manner as an estate or other funds? Why should there be a different law for this species of property ? The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to contend, that there ought to be a fixed law with respect to libel so as clearly to define it, and concluded with saying that Mr. Gutch knew nothing of the present libel till alter it bad appeared, and therefore could slot be held legally cri minal. If the Lord Chancellor sustained any injury by the publication let bins bring his action, and Mr. Gutch would meet it, and willingly pay the d image which a Jury would sword for the crime of being a Newspaper Proprietor. Mr. Bees Tow, for the defendant Fisher, said he wis instructed to take no psi tin the present discussion. His client would rely on the individual ftcts in his favour, but as this was not the proper time to state them, be should re serve himself for another opportunity. In doing this, he hoped Mr. A!exander did not considerit tended toprrjudice his cause. He would now, however, express Mr. Fisher's sincere regret for what had appeared, but was not now in a condition to ask fur terms of the Attorney. General. He hoped his Lordship would take a note that the defendant Fisher did not go to the Jury. His Lordship said nething, but made the note. Mr. Alsiander then rose, and commenced in a low tone. He said he appeared before the Court this day as his own advocate, for reasons which he would hereafter disclose. But before doing so, he would proceed at once to consider the criminal case brought 'against him by his Majesty's Attorney- General. Perhaps the Jury were not aware that it was now nearly one hundred years since any prosecution of this nature was brought by the Law Officers of the Crown against the public Press. From the time of Lord Chatham's Administration, including all the intermediate ones, down to the Administration of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, no defendant had been charged with a libel tending to bring his Majesty's Government into contempt. Under such circum stances, therefore, he had many difficulties to encounter in offering a few facts to their consideretion not being able to refer to any similar case. This prosecution was one of peculiar hardship. All former publications of a similar nature as the present had been treated with forbearance by former Ministers. The con clusion he therefore Caine to was, that we lived in more perilous times, yet it was a time of profound peace. We had no foreign enemy, why then should a liberal Government lend itself to crilsh the press of a free country ? Much severer articles had been written in former titnee, but the then Attorney-General did not think it necessary to uphold the dignity of the Government by instituting proceed;ngs which must crush humble individuals like himself, for what he had written out of the purest sentiments. The object of the present pro secution was to destroy his property and take away his liberty, and, perhaps, put an erd to his eeistence. But when he had dpne, hop' the 4url wo - irime step in betweep ltitn 'and the GovernMent, and gtve him a fair and honuurable aceuittal. In pursuing his line of defence his first proposition was to spew that we did not live in more dangerous times than formerly.— Some of the Jury would recollect the troubleseme tinter of thirty or f mrty years ago. They woublrenientber that at that time there e;cistcd correspoAcling emmei k ey, and some of the persons whom he theme say'beforelifu, Were metimbet's of that society. Then Oleic was the French ecnvention-e-the Mutiny at the'Nore—the Gordon riots —the Spafiehr4 riots—the Cornierrr riots—the country riots—these times were catnparatively troublesome, and the Government brought forward measures to suppress dangerous associations; but the means they then made use of were much milder, and theme was none of that eteer:ty practiOd as in the proecediege ega,ast hiee rfLeetlre!as, too, attliet Waellnwh ;Maw eiojeat ; it rove's' wee conducted with' less asperity titan at prtsilit. IP OW' tLe difference, he would cAll alo'Uo" to b " - portant trim----he in when her late Majesty Was brought by a Bill of Pains and Peeelties before the House of Lind-. The Jury would recollect that period, and therefore he would not trouLl e them with entering in:o the disgusting statetnente with sylmielt Pees :: Veen. it:mended. It was tree somee pT : m t :t t; (l; p..-seci,,tett,:hitt . the pro seen,ion et it yerldikier.ent nature to the present. Not one of the defendant s was brought to the floor of that Court, charged with Lnim 99 eine the Government into contempt. The greatest rie prevail, t. best persons, and the litte:t of chem Leers were iiimetl e ml, in the most scurrilous nutuner, vet the Attorney-General brought no charge of a criminal nature eg inst them. The Jury were perhape aware that the cemreependentamf newspaper was equally Neale to a criminal prosecution flat any intelligence he might pstmenot to be inserted, with the Editor hitnse:f. Every individual Connected with the supplying of news was equally responsible. Could it be expected that the Editor of a newspaper, whose business it was to supply the public with intelli gence on every subject, and to remark on every transaction of the day, could examine different works fur the purpose of ascertaining how far he might go ? He would, however, call their attention to the lan guage of the press 4.0 years ago, and read to them a paper published by one af the most excellent writers that ever adorned this country—he meant Junius. He then read the letter of Junius to time Duke of Grafton in 1789, libelling in very strong language the Government of thet d ty, (and which occupied nearly half an hour.) Such was the language of the Press forty years ago, yet the author of that letter was never prosecuted. Their own knowledge and experience would tell the Jury Ow di; not mean the language)—hut that there was nothing in the Journals of the present day half NO severe. Yet, amid the Attorney-GeneraLthe licentiousness of the press was so great —itwes so calculated to bring the Government into contempt, that he felt bound to institute several criminal prosecutions. He would ask the Jury, bow was any body to conduct a newspaper? There was no prescribed law for laic govern ment—there was nothing to tell him, " hitherto shalt thou go, and no further." 'there was no landmark, yet he was expected to judge of the writings of himself and others, whether or not the law would designate them libellous. Ifs they looked at history they would find many instances of much stronger language than he had made use of had been used. He had given them a specimen of what took place forty years age. He would give: them one of more recent interest—he meant the speech of the Late Master of the Rolls, in Ireland, by a gentleman learned in the law, who must he presumed to know the law, even to the splits of a hair, and who, therefore, possessed great advantages over the Pm'ess. Mr. Curran took great libertiese and talked with much severit y of the characters of public men, and that too oft e n before their faces. In a speech which he made 17 years ago before the Lord Lieutenant any Privy Council of Ireland, he spoke with the greatest severity of the then Lord Chancellor. He called him a little peevish old man that was blind to the force of any argumente—represented him as a wretched being, who, for any paltry consideration, would violate the very best principles of the Constitution ; that he was the veriest creature of profligacy and avarice ; and this too the Jury would recollect was spoken of the Lord Chancellor. (Mr. Alexander here read Curran's speech at length.) He did not wish to take up more of the time of the Court by showing that the style of writing indulged in by former writers was more severe, though not punished. Mr. Alexander then alluded to extracts from the works of Lord Bolingbroke, Lord Horace Walpole, and the Edinburgh Re view, all of which he characterised at , more severe than the pub ieetion which grave rise to the present proceeding, and contended that the public prints were now conducted with more candour and less virulence than at any fermeer period of history. His next proposition was to skew, that considering the state of the country—the settled state of peace, there was little necessity for any Attorney-General to commence a crusade against the liberties of the Press. The Gentlemen of the Jury would recollect that about the period to which the publication complained of re ferred to ceents that never would be forgotten by the monarchy—events of an extraordinary re volting nature took place. When he became connected with the Morning journal, he thought it consistent with propriety to place his opinions open record. lie then laid down a solemn league and covenant with himself, by which he would stand or fall—and by that covenant he now would and should stand or fell. With the consent of his partners, to the number of six or seven, he drew up time address which appeared on time first appearance of the first number of the Morning Journal, and which he ehould read, with the permission of the Court, to the Jury. It was dated oa the 4th of October, but it appeared on the 6th. Mr. Alexander then read the address that appeared in the Morning Journal, anti then continued—That, Gen tlemen, is nay political feeling, and with that I set out iu the conduct of this Journal. It received the approbation of the gentlemen who were connected with me, and in ad vocating those principles, and in adhering to those princi ples, if I have been endeavouring to hr big his Majesty's Government into contempt, I must have been associated with men of high character and honour, in concoct ' ing this seditious paragraph, against whom the breath of slander has never yet been passed. Gentlemen, I speak of my late partners with the deepest respect; I know them to be honourable men, having nothing in view in patronizing this Paper, but that of maintaining the property which they had purchased from an able gentle ! man, not a member of this bar, but of the bar, and the further object of supporting me in those prin ciples which I avowed, thinking, as I did, that I did right in acting on them most conscientiously. To show you, Gentlemen, that these were not my opinions alone, but that they were laid down for the guidance of this Paper, long before I had any thing to do with it, or was in any way connected with it, I shall take the liberty of reading to you a set of resolutions entered into by my late partners, and directed to be sealed up and pieced in an iron chest, fur the purpose cf showing on what principles the Paper should be conducted. Mr. A'exander then read a string of resolutions, entered into on the 17th of January, 1828, and concluding by stating that time Proprietors shou'd espouse the principles declared by them on that occasion, let the new Administrution be Whig, Tory, or a mixture of both. This document, gentlemen, (continued Mr. Alexander,) was signed by seven persons ; those were my partners at the time the paragraph a; peered which the Attorney-General has charged against roe, as having a seditious tendency. The very individuals to whom I allude are at this moment professors of those principles : they are at this moment proprietors of the Courier newspaper—of that Ministerial and Government Newspaper—of that Newspaper which is considered (I know not how truly) to be the organ of Government, and when I tell you that these gentlemen are at this mo ment such proprietors, I am sure that even the Attorney- General, would not attribute to them the writing of an Article that could have a tendency in any way to break down the Government of the country. On al occasions I have supported the Ministry to the utmost or my poor extent. Put, Gentlemen, there was one mea sure that unfortunately caused great excitement, and I took a course as I was bound to do, of activity with re epect to that transaction, I mein the passing of the Roman Catholic Belief Bill. Gentlemen, although the At torney-General wished to sneer me out of England by imputing to me the crime of belonging to another country, still, gentlemen, I was born in a country on the other aide the Tweed, where I was reared in the religion of my fathers 4t the file, side, where the Morning and Evening Sacrifices saw me out of bed anti saw me in again ; where I had upon my heart a dear and warm attachment fixed to those principles of reformation, established by the wisest tnen, and an equally strong feeling against the profeeeors of the old 'religion, who in former times had persee cuted the Reformers to fare and to blesod—l felt warmly on :that qeestinn, end not being able to chew from my mind the persecutions of former times, when I arrived at years of maturity I was as strongly impressed with the justice of those prejudices — if you are pleased so to call them—as I was when a boy. And when this question was carried—when this question was attempted to be carried, by a desertion of the re cooled principles and opinions of men who had ateTl first in the battle—when it nested hot against the other parties, when the men wl;o Led' beeic'cradloil in the cif lee of the reortnatmon, and helhectiene b Laos: they' were considered to be the honest advocates of a'great cause, when those men deserted their principles and their good conduct, when they left the Church of Eng land, the only strong bold against the powerful inroad of Catholic Saints ; when I saw this - Se strong holds cut down, by the eery individuals who bad been the feesi; to pese:daim that they woeld etee,f cr ,eu lirnahlL r;sett :mw thoee men tw•ditont - r---'to Wray-- LO atesefitilate whit they all times to have - he:el sacred, I of course, though an humble individual. felt warmly, and under these feelings, did I speak and write.

Still I was benne to say that I could , only proceed with the conduct of -he Morning Journal on the• principles on which I hat'. •et out. Gentlemen, my Noble Friend was right, for On very first word that Sir J. Scarlett uttered in this Court. After being appointed Attorney-General, the very first art he did, alter the forMation of theWellitigton Administration. -vas to appear here and :nave for a criminal information against the Morning Journal for a libel on the Lore Chancellor. When I heard of it I really did not belicvi it, and it was not until I hail seen tie, manuscript of tlo gentleman whom I hail sent here with a report of it that I felt bound to believe it. The Attorney-General took great credit to himself on that occasion for the moderate, delicate, and impartial manner in which he came int, Court to ask fur the information, Gentlemen, I shall take .the liberty of reading to you the speech of Sir J. Searlett on that occasion, Sir J. ScartLETT—Thit is your own ver•ion of it. Mr. Alexander—Why, Gentlemen, I have heard, but I don't know how true it is, that Sir J. Scarlett sent Ili, own speech to the Times Newspaper.—(Laughter. ) One of the Jurors wished to know whether - it Wat competent to the defendant, to proceed reading documents of this kind. The Learned JUDGE iliftiPrVed, that it certainly was not evidence, but as the defendant was upon his defence, he might Nava a right to introduce it into his speech. The same Jurar s tid, hs fe:t disposed to interrupt Mr. Alexander before, when reading the Address in the first edition of the Morning Journal. The Learned JunGv. told Mr. Alexander, that as thr Jury seemed indisposed to hear the speech alluded to, read, and as it could not be evidence, it probably would be better to waive the re odin!. of it. Mr. Alexander did not tender it as evidence ; he only introduced it as an historical part of the case, to show the connexions link by link. The Learned JUDGE considered that it could not have such an effect ; that the only possible mode by which it could be male evidence, was that of calling the gentleman who had taken it down as a witness, to atate that it was what Sir J. Scarlett had uttered. Mr. Alexander did not further press it. After the At torney-General had moved, on behalf of the Lord Chan cellor, for an information against the Morning Journal, be (Mr. Alexander) filed an affidavit, in which he denied in the most positive and unequivocal terms, that the paragraph complained of had any reference to the Lord Chancellor. The consequence was, that although the rule was made absolute, the Attorney-General thought proper to take another course. After taking great credit to himself for his moderation and impartiality in this pro ceeding. As Counsel for the Lord Chancellor he stated th it three informations were filed ex-efficioagainst me in this Court; and that this one, with reference to the Lord Chan cellor was not one of those three. Gentlemen if this be mode ration, I really do not know the moaning- of the term ; but before I was celled on to give bail in the information for the alleged libel against the Lord Chancellor, I was called on is give bail in three other informa tions filed by the Attorney-General tx-offiele.._ Now it is somewhat extraordinary, that having first taken credit fur the moderation of his proceeding, having taken all he could obtain (tom me: after extorting flow the my defence, and getting out of me the truth, he turns round on me, takes advantage of my own evi dence, and comes into this Court with his ex officio informations, whereby be has fir greater privileges th in be could have bad as Counsel for the Lord Chancellor, and which I as a British subject say, was grose oppression, and conduct to be submitted for judge ment elsewhere, for there never was a person treated before in such a way by a Noble person, having had his evidence dragged front him, having been charged with perjury by that individual, and then that the Attorney-General should turn round on that affidavit, give the lie to his own case, by raying the libel had a ten dency very different to what was originally alleged, and commence a corresponding course of prosecution If gentlemen, instead of coining forward, I had allowed this case to come to trial, then, I adroit it would have stood under different circumstances from the mole of trial now adopted. I have a defence to make before you ; hut at the same time I must recollect that Sir James Scarlett has to reply—a gentleman with all the learning o; the lawyer, carrying along with him all the army of the bar. The shrewd keeneses and criticism of art able lawyer, I say, places me in circumstances which, if yon do not extricate me from, Will oppress me most severely. This, gentlemen, is the way in which this case has been carried on against me, from the first step in this Court to the period when Sir James Scarlett ap peared as Attorney-General, down to the last bill of in dictment which the Duke of Wellingten swore at the Old Bailey. There have, Gentlemen, as you - are aware, been three bills of indictment against me, in all of which I am charged with having written articles having e tendency to bring his Majesty's Government into contempt. I trust you will take al; the circumstances of my case into your consideration, and see the dfficuities that oppress and pour in upon me, unless you take the whole dif ficulties of the case into consideration, and contrast them with the merits—unless you extricate me by your verdict, it will be impossible but that my fortune will be destroyed, myself and character ruined, and dis grace attached to an individual who has, all his life, been a faithful and consistent supporter of his Majesty's Govern ment, until this unfortunate occasion. Gentlemen, there is one other subject which I approach with great reluc tance, indeed, I would not approach it at all if I did not consider that the whole aim and scope of this prosecution w a s an attempt on the part of the Government to ruin the person who now stands before - you. You will see the con necting links with which one part of the Government works with the other, all of which are put in motion to bear down and level the property of the person who is now before you. On one occasion there was certainly some ir regularity in the securities and bonds at the Stamp-offiae. About a fertnight ago my printer was arrested an a war rant in chief from the Stomp-offiee ; he was taken and l oc k e d up, I have nn doubt, in order that I should hive every difficulty put be my way ; and not only that, but the eetent in chief was levied against toy goods, to the amount of 4001., at a time when, according to all fair dentine, and the mode in which business is transacted at the Stamp Office with other paper offices, I did not owe more than 113/. My only goods in that place were seized fOr a debt which was not honestly er in geod ;with doe. Now, Gentlemen, I appeal Wynn as Jurymen, I appeal to you as haekers, knowing, as you must well know, how a litila matter will affect the character of a person, I most earnestly appeal to you, if a course like this is not calculated to bring any man to ruin. Gentlemen, I was placed in that situation ; 1 was placed in a most painful situation, and, but for the assistance of feiende, I do not know whether i a1;941 Iwo been her:e to-day to expllio thee . : nigttees to you. Are these gentletnette t.;:,e ;node; of proceeding under a Government sa mild, and whose principles are suited to all times; a Government - so impartial, and su moderate, with the hero of Werth° at its head—l say, Gentlemen, that such a course pursued by such a Government, speaks in the . roundest term., its weakness.

In a •tarody, moreover, there is a good deal to be attended t. i t th e particular expressions. You see, gentlemen, her. The word " general" is invariably used—that certainly be• t relation mire to the military department of the Go eernment than the legal. I assert, gentlemen, before you, hat it is altogether a military allusion, and the Attorney- General may, if he pleaces, on that honest and frank Jonfession, file another criminal information against no to-morrow. I never had the honour of seeing the Sobel tor-General before to-d ty, nor the Attornj-General, ,vhotn I hope I never shall see again—( Lauglyer)— nor the Lord Chancellor, whom I hope I shall never know I appeal to yoo gentlemen if there is ma in this produe don, when I quote other writers who hare been ho nourably acquitted, every thing that is harm!, a. old mild ? You will recollect, gentlemen, a per ;on of the name of Hone stood in this Conn defend himself against a charge of having published certain parodies on religion intended to bring it into contempt. In that case every thing that was bail was brought into action, still Mr. Hone was acquitted ; when therefore. Gentlemen, there is a complaint against my harm less arid k useless parody, and when I consoler the biting and stinging slanders in that ease, which were directed against the King—l say, contrasting those two—considering that Mr. Hone was acquitted, 1 slot); he doubly entitled to an acquittal at your hands. When, gentlemen, I sea things of so atrocious a na ture passed by, by twelve Jurymen in that box, can I come to any • other opinion thaw.: this, that case of mine will be flung by you out of Court ? The real question, Gentlemen, is, whether this parody has a tendency to bring the Government into contempt. Whether it has or has not must he inferred from the fact. It is now, Gentlemen, six months since this paltry piece of badinage was published. I am well aware that the Learned Gentleman will endeavour to con vince you that you must not judge of the ten dency of it ; but can you, Gentlemen, upon your oath, say that that will bring the Government into contempt, which for six months has trot done so. I could say much more than this Gentlemen, but I am conscious how long I have already bordered onyour time, and I am exceedingly anxious that you should not be detained your families and your homes longer than is absolute ne• cessary. I put it, Gentlemen, ott this ground, simply after you have taken the whole bering of shis case into your consideratiod, after you have considered the explanations of the inuendoes, bearing in mind that already six persons believe it applies to the Lord Chan cellor, but you mu-t not consider that six men are speak ing the sentiments of the public. I put it to you, whe ther you can consc'entiously upon your oaths say that this libel, as it is called, was intended a:.ainst the Lord Chancellor. Gentlemen, I could have brought individuals: into that box as high or even higher than any that have been produced in it to-day, and I could have brought the letters of others, who would have stated, that at the time they read this allmted libel they did not believe it at all applied to the Lord Chancellor. But I put it most seriously to twelve hottest English Jurymen ; and I trust I shall draw from their benevolence this conclusion, that the defendant if entitled to the verdict. Upon your verdict, gentlemen, depends my character, my fortune, my liberty, perhaps my lire—you have all that is dear to man—you have all that he cares for on earth under your decision. If you pros , ' a verdict against me, I must of course abide time consequences ; Lui Gentlemen, will that Noble person at the head of his Majesty's Government, or the Noble minions that bow to his power, will they sleep for one moment longer on their pillows for having aent me to jail or will they if I should be honourably acquitted, follow their pursuits more firmly. Your decision cannot effect the powe, mm, and I am sure you will not say that time Doke of Wel lington is a feeble man, and that his Government also is feeble. I trust, Gentlemen, you will weigh well this case before you deliver you verdict, and with these considerations, with the utmost reliance I leave my case in your hands. What was his state of health at that time ? It was very indifferent indeed. Mr. Alexander sat down amidst great applause, which was repressed by the Court. The Jury retired for a few minutes, and, Mr. HILL, on behalf of the defendant, Cuteb, calks] Jane Lavender. Mr. Hum.—You are a relation of Mr. Guteh, the de fendant, I suppose?---Yes. Do you recollect seeing the defendant, Mr. Gutch, on the 30th May last? Yes—l dined with him at Common Hill, where he re sides. How lung was he residing at that place before the 30th of May? Now, as far as you know, did Mr. Gutch ever interfere in the conduct of the Moaning Journal? I should say not at all. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL-What is Mr. Gutch's business ? Ile edits a newspaper at Bristol, and is proprietor of this newspaper in London. Did you say he edited a newspaper at Worcester, or at Bristol? Mr. Alexander declined to call witnesses. The EATTORNEY.-GENKUAL replied, and the Learned Judge summed up, and, The Jury consulted for shout five minutes, and thin roe turned a verdict of " Guilty" against all Oa defendants. Lord TaNTERDEN—WiII you proceed with the other cases to-uiglit, Mr. Attorney-General: Ar,cartNEv-GxxxitAL.—l would rather not until tcwriorrow morning, if your Lordship pleases.

The Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council had a ►neeting► yesterday morning in. the Council Chamber, Whitehall, for the purpose of hearing an appeal of great importance against the Governor of Antigua, by a barrister of that island, who had been suspended, and his name subseqently erased from the li,t of barr4ters, by the Judges of thf.. Court- of Common Pleas in Antigua. The Lords present were Lord Wynford, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Secretary of State for the Colon►al Department. The At torney-General, who had been specially strn►noned to attend their Lordships, to render hii prefeisional ►►ssistnnce if required, was present duri►►g the . pm- ceedings. Previous to the case being gone into, Lord Wyn ford read their Lordships' decision on the case of " White v. Parnther" (from Jamaica), which lad been argued in this Court at their last sit!iog. Die Lordship noticed that an attempt had in-en made to prevent • their getting at the merits of the case, by insisting that the respondents were bound by a decree of the Court of Chancery in Jamaica, in 1791. Lords Eldon and Redesdale had however declared that it was the duty of Courts of Equity to look into the merits of decrees, and tot blindly enforce them %%lieu unjust. The decree in question ordered thut the annuity left to Mrs. Ann l'arnther by her husband should stand instead of a do,vvr„ and should be paid before the debts of her hualkonL Their Lordships were of opinion that the Cottri Jamaica were not justified in allowing the annuity to stand instead of dower, and it would, 1,4 fact, he a fraud upon the creditors ; their Lordships, there— fore, should advise his Majesty to reverse the decree of the Court below, and to dismiss the appeal with costs. Dr. LustliNcroN then rose to open the appeal from Antigua; the appellant was Mr. John Osborn, jun., a barrister of that island. The Attorney- General of Antigua, and three other gentlemen of the bar practising there, had addressed a letter to the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, stating, that during the absence of Mr. Osborn on a visit LSA EnglaNd certain aspersions on his conduct or difr.tent transactions had been cast, which as he hat then returned, required an explanation from him us a member of a liberal profession, and antes;,that was rendered they could not consider his 11b a fit" asso ciate. The Judges sent for four individuals, two of them relatives of Mr. Osborn, who were examined without being sworn ; and, en the statements thus given, the Judges suspended Mr. Osborn from act ing as a barrister until he .had cleared himself frorn the charges brought against him, more particula r ) ) . in one instance of alleged breach of trust. l‘fe, Os born, at a subsequent meeting, addressed the Court in his defence, and argued the illegality tsf his sus eensiun without his knowing who weetAis accusers: Ile Court required his defence te l toe committed to writing. Mr. Osborn accorditteiy gave in an never, turd addressed himself Vtrticularly to exploits the al leged breach of trust. he Judges wrote to frit?' barristers to come forward in the case, or give up the names of the parties possessing knowledge of the fact% The barristers, in their answer, declined all furtLee interference. The Court then issued awt it, 'which was served on four individuals, to compl them to come forward and give etii!coce. Thel were sir eordingly examined, though in one instance deci dedly against the inebriation of tho party giving his deposition. The Court eventvolly ordered the name of Mr. 'John Osborn, jun., tea be erased from the list of barristers, without either prosecutor, accuser, ar witnesses, hasikttg declared themselves; Or, in short, any perso,tt e.,r persons haying come forward to ren der themselves responsible for the p.oeeedings.

';;_\ • .. _~ - ,--- SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. . . Our yesterday's paper reported shortly the proceedings of a public meeting at Colchester for a repeal of the Malt and Beer Duties. ;We need scarcely reiterate our own persuasion :that there is no measure snore likely to work general good among the people of this country, thamone which shall tend to make beer an article of more extensive consumption among the labouring classes. It:is, however, sufficiently manifest that such a -measure must be one which shall effect its purpose by indirect as well as immediate pro vi.ions. It will not be enough to repeal the tax on malt and beer, unless some decisive me thod be adopted of opening the rigorous and oppressive monopoly which now subjects the consumer to the obligation of purchasing from the brewer's dependent whatever trash the latter may think fit to impose upon him under the name of malt liquor. This involves of necessity a revision of the law of licences, which, as it now operates, is little more than a deposit of power in the hands of a single set of trades men, to tax the public for their own benefit, and at their own discretion. It is obvious that any regulation limiting the price of a manufac tured commodity must be inefficient as a pro tection to the consumer, since the maximum of price is sure to be met by a degradation of quality ; and thus we find . that the promises of a Chancellor of the Exchequer that the public shall be supplied with beer at so much per pot, is in fact nothing better than a threat that the adulteration of the beverage shall have no de finite limit. Perhaps it would answer, in a financial view, to raise the amount of licence money, but to let every man sell beer who pleased ; as it might serve all moral purposes to leave the publican amenable to visits from the Excise, and to fine or loss of licence by judg ment of the Quarter Sessions. There is an other step to le taken before we can hope to tender generally useful a reduction in the price of malt liquor. A heavy tax, we are more than ever convinced, ought to be forthwith levied on ardent spirits, which, by every effort short of positive compulsion, must be thrown out of com petition- with beer, or the health and habits of the working gasses will be irretrievably sacrificed. People who talk of gin or any other spirit being a wholesome stimulus for a working man, at least when taken as part of his daily refreshment, k n ow very little of the operation of alcohol on the system, as explained by the best medi cal authorities. The secondary effect of drains is invariably to rel.ix and impair the strength, in an equal ratio to that in which they have pre viously excited it—to shatter the nerves, and destroy the stomach. We say nothing now of the vicious habits and associations which are nnected with frequent indulgence at the gin shOp. But as a mere question between beer gut,and we believe no humane and reasonable statesman CA's hesitate which ought least to be encouraged. For the country gentlemen we would reserve the argument that the tax on malt, combined with the law of licences, is a direct tax on !soiled property, and so absolute check to cultivation, as well of barley as of careen crops, which are usually the best preparation for it. if the Minister says, I cannot reduce the malt tax, because the increase of consumption would not cover the deficit of revenue," the answer ought to be, " Then indemnify yoursa ley an augmentation of the spirit duty, which, on your own principle, will not diminish the eeineumption of gin so far as it will benefit the revenue. Considering the average motives on cishish die landed interest acts, and thPit unani mity where rents are concerned, we aro ria4llY amonished that country gentlemen have nut yet succeeded in forcing on Government this reform in the policy as well as in the morals of taxa- Our contemporary, the Standard, autintains that " there is no Law of Libel in England" To the Jury (says our contemporary) belongs not merely the exposition and enforcement, but the making of the law. In the case of writings prose cuted as it or insulting to individuals, there is no Lal,v of Libel in England. Thera is no law— for what is law ? A. rule of civil conduct, pres4ibed by the chief power in the State commanding what is right, u: , d forbidding wLat is wrong. If there is a law, there must be a rule ; m man has ever yet formed a rule to fit libel prosecutions; if such a rule exist, let us have it ; it must define a libel; who will venture upon a definition? The late Lord Ellenhocough pronounced A rule, indeed, compre hensive enough, Whateveria writings or in print butte any mates feelings ;' but this r;;Je was, unfor tunately, too wide; and its necessary eonLep t uence would be to dispense with ail but the form of triji by instituting a prosecution, the man proved that his feelings were hurt—the Jury oanst find a verdict of guilty accordingly. This dictum of an able lawyer ; but of a man :vtiose disposition was harsh and over, bearing, was col, thrown aside; and men were' compelled to &dant that there is no law of libel, ac cording to the just conception of a penal law. What, Alen, is the theor'y oldie law.about libel ? It seems to be this : that, as it is impossibia to fix a perma nent rule, and as without a rule there : canoV be a law, a Jury is empanelled to sit upon the case,-.. to Prin a special nanctNative law for the particular occa.sion,i upon evidence su!imitted to them in legal form. 'The theory is supportC 4 to a great degree by the history of libel prosecution. 7; irbich were at first in stituted in the S:ar Chambe."—a Cogrt of Criminal Equity, said to be subsidiary 40 the law, c,. ul, there fore, not identical with the lasv;,' and it is a cti,.:64s illustration of this severance bettveeo . what is called the law of libel and the body of )s, in truth, the law, that the only apologist of 1;04 glie" - borough's libel rule ' is the only writer at a . ieAast century who has ventured to lament the abolion of the detestable Star Chamber. But the strongest, and, in our opinion, the conclusive argument for our view on the theory of the law about libels, is the 32d George 111., c. GO, which gives to the Jury the pruvioce of deciding libel or not.--. 5 Jttdicis est Agent U there were a law, it is cite pro wince of the Judge, not of the Jury, to pronounce it. i taw cannot be supposed guilty of the prepos terous indec:ncy of saying to the Aury i n this only rage —e fi ga ll upon you to exercise a discretion, in dependent of tire advice of my living oracle, whom, therefore, you are rerired to distrust.' How much more decent the - hypothesis, that the Jury are called upon to legislate for ti,te particular case; because I legislation in species has been found ineyractlcable; that they ate assisted in this tkeir act of us the Houses of Parliament often are in more gencxal act-, by an enforcement of the known rules of evi dence, the general form of judicial proceedings, and, the suggestions of judicial wisdom and experience; ; —but that they are still legislators, not merely en-: titled, but bonnd, to take into account political con siderations, matters of provocation, pailiginn, and all the manifold circumstances which can throw light? upon the moral and political consequences - of their) verdict. That Jurors have always acted upon these' priuciples must be apparent from the differing ver- 1 diets of which the same publication has been the subject, according to the temper of the times or pbree-in which it has been tried." The law certainly hag never said what a libel is. We, are in the present day, after all the pro ceedingsln our Courts, n o l , one whit farther ativaneed_lhan we were in the time of the Star . C4mber j . -1 ' All divines a g ree th at t h e s i n against figYGliost is the great unpardonable sin ; but tio two of them have ever agreed as to what constitutes that sin. Mr. Bentham says, 'that " in point of actual law, a libel is any paper in which he who to the will adds the power of punishing fos it sees any thing that he does not like ;" and, in point of fact, the Judges of this country, with hardly one exception, have declared every thing a libel of which any one power chose to complain. From the Revolution, when the Judges became less outrageously unprincipled than they were before, there is not, we believe, an instance of any writing, either in the shape of discussion of opinions, or animadversions on public characters, having been made the subject of prosecution, that it has not been declared a libel—that word of awful import in the charge to the jury. Burke observes, that no despotism can be conceived more complete than that which the English Judges would uphold ; for there is hardly an act, which is performed in obedience to au thority, with respect to which a man can consider himself safe, if the dicta of the Judges were to be the law. Our contemporary has alluded to the late Lord Ellenborough. In the famous Judge Johnson's case, this is part of his Lord ship's charge :—" He (the libeller) admits this noble person (Lord Hardwicke) to be celebrated for understanding the modern method of fatting a sheep as well as any man in Cambridge. Now, Gentleman, what does this mean ? Does it not clearly mean to infer that Lord Hardwicke is ill-placed in his high situation, ar.d that he is only fit for the common walks of life ?" Now, as Lord Ellenborough was one of the ablest Judges who ever sat on the Bench, his dicta are of course to be looked up to with especial re verence. Well, then, taking this instance, in which praising a man in power for his knowledge of the most difficult branch of farming is deemed libellous, we may ask what is not libellous ? If we were to say the Duke of Wellington understands the science of war as well as any man in Europe, according to the above rule of interpretation, this would imply that he is only fit for war. If we were to say that the present Lord Ellenborough dresses as well as any Nobleman who takes an airing in the Park, this would imply that he is only fit for taking airings in the Park. Mr. Bentham, in his " Elements of the Art of Packing," observed that the " Liberty of the Press, de fircto, was that which being contrary to Law, proscribed by Law, has all along maintained a sort of rickety, and still maintains a momentary half existence in the teeth of consistency as well as law, by means of breach of the law in low situations, and non execution of the law in high ones." But where there is no law there is no transgression. The Legislature has never declared what shall be deemed a libel; and, as our contemporary has observed, the Act of 32d Geo. 111. cap. 60, which gives to Juries the power of determining both the law and the fact, is incompatible with any rule whatever, because the same writing may come before different Juries, who may return different verdicts ; and this is not an imaginary occurrence, for of two publishers of the same writing, one has been acquitted by one Jury, while the second has been convicted by another. Nay, pply on Saturday last, in the Court of King's B l end), ljr, Murray was twice indicted for the same libel, with a view to a double chance ; but, as the first Jury was compliant, the second indictment was abandoned. Mr. Bentham, fn his lot work, The Petition for Justice, has taken a IWW yew of the functions of the Jury—he , supposes them to have the power of applying their veto to the laws in the last stage Allusion (he observes) has been made to one good o i - rept of the power of conquest thus given to the strongest of th,e twalvo wills. The good effect is this t—A law (soppose) br a place, by which, were execution and effect given to it, rinfligeence would be infused into the whole frame of Government: absolutism, for example,with all itsattendant miseries. Jpdividuals at the same time are not altogether wa,uti,qg,,e,attli of whom,. if in his capacity of Jury man, the iaw SP-FP4iestion were brought before him fur eteautioP, oppse tp Jr this irresistible will, would, in ; word, apply his ye/9 tp ii. 14y the King and the Lords tint; "veto is applicable to the laws in the first stage of their progress,,the stage o: Legislation : by Juries in the last stage—the stage ofjudicature.

Mr. Bentham admits the existence of a law, such as it is, b;t that it is: the k lqtli pf the Jury to frustrate it. While we. adlikit the i.c.rg,e pf what Mr. Bentham says, with regard to .the necessity fur the Jury, in all cases of prosecution ,fur libel, seiailig tkei,nselves against the J udgss, as a class' who in all tinie.F, jiay. keen hostile to ail ;f r ee discussion, 'we: ,thiiik the theory of die ,itaittlarti i; he more correct, that there is 11,4, jg:,y, and that the bushier,;, Rf the Jury is to make a lax 4CW Or ,occsion . .

We hare no security in England, but in a Jury in poli tical cases. Whether, in case we were altoge ther dependent on Judges, they might feel them selves bound to be more honest, is a question on which we shall not enter. We have occasionally had independent Juries. In all cases of Crown prosecution, there should be a leaning to the individual under prosecution ; for even allowing that the language used may hare been indiscreet, who shall say that it is not better that indiscre tion should escape, than that 'precedents should be set, which would tend to secure an impunity to men in office ?—Morning Chronicle. The time is approaching when it will be seen whether the House of Commons represents, as it ought to do, the real feelings of the country upon public affairs, \ and whether public opinion guides, as it ought to do, the measures of Go vernment. We cannot disguise our apprehen sions that neither of these results is likely to be apparent ; and we are _the more anxious, should such be the case, that the blame .should fall "here it is deserved, that neither Parliament.nor the Government may have any pretext for plead ing ignorance of the real state of things as their apology for a continuance in error. But why, it will be asked, if its distresses are us appalling as they are represented to be, is the country in general so backward in making them known through public meetings, and other proper chan nels? We would fain hope that we err in the reply which we must give to that .question ; but we fear that the apathy of the people but too much wises from a want of confidence in the tribunal to which its wants should be made known. They have witnessed but too often the accommodating pliability of the assembly in question ; and they, more especially, cannot forget in what a manner their representations were received and treated on the last subject of vital interest which came before it ; in fact, that the mandate of the Minister is the talismanic wand which guides and governs the delibera tions of Parliament. If we err, if this be not so, the proceedings of the approaching Ses sion will convince us of an error that we shall be but too happy to retract. In the mean time we call upon the people to speak out. Though past, and especially their most recent experience, may have but too undeniably shaken their confidence in the hope of being patiently heard anti effectually attended to, yet they ought, on the other hand, to remember that their silence may be construed to imply an acquiescence in their fate, while the very record of their sentiments, even should they fail in pro ducing their immediate and due effect, will stand as their justification to themselves and their pos terity that it will not have been their fault should the impending ruin not have been averted. This duty, on the part of the people at large, becomes the more necessary, when we consider that the main evils under which the country labours are not difficult of removal, and are rather retained by false pride and obstinacy than by any thing like an unavoidable necessity. The evils of the country have been mainly, if not wholly, brought about by Parliament having unhappily lent itself to a mischievous tampering with the currency, and the absurd theories of free trade. Neither of these errors (and errors their very authors almost allow them to be) were the exclusive work of the present Government or of the pre sent Parliament ; and why, therefore, the one or . the other should be unwilling to retrace the steps of ethers, when they are so evidently wrong, is what we cannot comprehend. It is an instance of mistaken pride more characteristic of narrow. ness of mind than of intellectual power. It is only men of superior understanding who know how to acknowledge and retract an error without any loss of high reputation or of moral dignity.

WORSHIP-STREET. Two AFFECTING CASEs.—Yeterday two females, of woe-worn appearance and: attenuated forms; were placed at the b,7.): before Mr. RipUGHTON, and, although they were clothed in rags and pliing . ed i n 4v ps , ,T;:t wretchedness, still there was a dignity in their deportment Tniblie sympathy, ant, the vivid hue that occasionally flushed across withered, and emaciated cheek, at once dttenote have been the former seat of beauty. They said they we r e sisters, and were porn' in W e xford, in I re l an d . Th e c h arge aga i nst them' was a s folio w s denoted t to John Gerrard lived in Gardeit.court, Hoxton. markeilAce, 'and on the 19th of May last' the prisone took u furnished r tom frri him at 4s. They paid him some rent, but there was then due to him 51., and on last Saturday he missed some articles out of the room, which they admitted they had pawned for 9s. He then sent for an officer. Pilkington, an officer, was sent for on last Satur day by the last witness. I found the prisoners sitting in the room, and on questioning them as to the property they instantly said that distress alone obliged them to pawn the articles, but they would release them as soon as possible. They gave him the duplicates. The prisoners being called upon, the first stated that her name was Catherine Sloane and was the wife of surgeon Sloane, of Noble-street, in the city, and of Argyle-street, Soho, and was married to him fourteen years ago at Liverpool, in the sixteenth year of her age, according to the rites and ceremonies of the Catholic Church, which was the religion of her's as well as his ancestors; that they had lived together for ten years, during which time she gave birth to several children, three of whom are now living. About four years ago he turned her away without any reasonable cause, upon an allowance of 1/. per week, which he afterwards reduced to 108., and for the last eleven months he gave her so allowance whatever; and that he was in the habit of visiting her lodgings occasionally while he was paying her the weekly allowance; and in six weeks after his total desertion she gave birth to her youngest child, nine months old. She then handed a car tificate to the following e ff ect : " January Bth, 1816, wete married Alexander Sloane and Catherine Petit. Present—John and Elisabeth Warnock." " Taken from the hand-writing of the Rev. William Turleton, Seal -street, Liverpool, August 10th, 1826." " V. GLOYEa." Eliza Warnock—Said she was sister to the other prisoner, and was present at her marriage, in Li verpool, with surgeon Sloane. Her husband was a native of Belfast, and was the captain of the Echo, a trading ship, in the timber trade, between St. John's, New Brunswick, and Liverpool. On their last voyage hence (20th October, 1827) the ship, in a heavy gale, struck upon Sable island, and, in a few hours, became a complete wreck. The pas , sengers and crew all reached the island in safety, with no other property except their clothes. Sable island is visited every six months by a government ship with stores from Halifax, and to carry away the crews and passengers of such vessels as may be lost off the island. The government ship had sailed a few days before they reached the island, and her husband, becoming intemperate at the idea of being locked up there for six months, formed the desperate resolution of rigging and deck ing the long-boat, and he and six of the crew sailed for Halifax, but none of them were ever heard of since. (She here burst into tears.) She remained on the island, at the house of Governor Hudson, whose wife treated her with great humanity, and in six months after she reached Halifax, from which place she was sent by the Honourable Michael Wallace, one of the Commissioners, on board one of the East India Company's ship:, called the Astel, Capt. Levy, and she landed in London last October twelvemonth, and found out Mrs. Sloane, her sister, with whom she has since resided; and to questions from the Magistrate she said her husband had some of his property insured, and site signed the neces sary papers before the proper authorities at Halifax; but as the owners of the ship reside in St. John's, that accounted for the delay, and she every post ex pected 49/., and assured his Worship there was no fraudulent intention in pawning the articles. Mr. BROUGHTON (in astonishment)—Let Gerard stand forward. He then asked him if he believed one of the w omen at the bar was the wife of surgeon Sloane, or was there any truth in her statement ? Gerard—l believe every word she states to be true, and I know her to be his wife, for ,when I Wm.. moiled him to Guildhall for 4/., a debt contracted by her, he defeated me, upon the point that he was married by a Roman Catholic Priest. Mr. BROUGHTON (in increasing astonishment) — Pray, Mr. Gerard, since she has lodged at your house have you seen any thing in her moral conduet that could excite even suspicion in the mind of her husband ?—Gerard—None whatever; I believe her a virtuous, industrious, and heart-broken woman. Mrs. Sloane (in tears)—Your Worship, 1 wrote to my husband, saying, if he would give me the means of getting some clothes, I would go to ser vice to earn bread for my infant; arid I protest to God I had eaten no food for forty-eight hours before I was brought to the watch-house. Hale, an officer, said, he that morning waited on Mr. Sloane, who acknowledged he married her at Liverpool, when she was only 16 years of age, but it was by a Catholic priest; and if a shilling for a rope to hang her was of any use he would give it, but no more; He (witness) understood he was clearing 4,0001. a-year, and was living with his ser vant girl. Mr. BROUGHTON—Whatever private opinion I may have of the conduct of the hu,band, poverty cannot be pleaded as an excuse for crime. She ought to have applied to the parish authorities. Mr. Staines (the beadle)—Upon the same prin• ciple he defeated Mr, Gerard at Guildhall, so he would defeat the parish. Mr. BROUGHTON—But she is one of your casual poor, and you ought to relieve her first, and then let us try the validity of the marriage at er. Mr. Staines—Your worship don't seem inclined to commit them this night, and here is an order for the workhonse for them both. Mr. BitpuptyrciN—But I must have security for their appearance to-morrow. Lam, u watchman, with that true openness which characterises John Bull in his genuine colours, in stantly threw his hat upon the floor with violence, and exclaimed (strikini , his breast with his hand) " I will bail them, and will bail Mr. Gerrard for the return of his goods at 2s. per week." The poor fellow's feelings here got the better of him, and he was obliged to retire. In the mean time, Curtis, a headborough, gasye them ?s, The Magistrate ordered them refreshments, and they left the office to return the following (this) day. Williartt Sfrgr, the young . man charged with at tempting to hang his" wife in Crown-street, Fins bury, was again brought before Mr. I4Nt:TT, and the prosecutrix not answering her name the poisoner was admitted to bail. LAMBET H.STRfET. Not less than 14 informations were laid on Satur day at this office against intermediate beer-sellers. — The informations charged them with having retailed inferme'di4le lieer 'add' ‘4ilowing it to be drunk on the premises.

Few works have been received with such unanimous and unqualified approbation by the Public Press. The following is an abridged selection from a few of the many favourable notices with which it l a been honoured :—. " We shall find it difficult to Bp4k of this Volume in terms sufficiently expressive of the admiration, and, indeed, wonder, with which an examination of it has filled us, It is not only a curiosity, but a beautiful curiosity, and no less excellent in its useful qualities, than it is eh-gmt in its decorative parts. A few years ago, all the talents in Eng land could not have produced such a work."—Literary Gazette, Oct. 31, 1829. " 6 The Young Lady's Book,' from the Pple nil u r of its appearance, the excellent style and execution of its embel lishments, its intrinsic value, and its peculiar suitableness, is the must acceptable offering that can be made at the shrine of youth and beauty ; and, altogether, is one of the most elegant volumes of its kind."—la Belle Assemblve for Dec. 1829. " The Young Lady's Book' surpasses all the Annuals in its external splendour, and is far superior to them in the character of its object. At the same time that it is itself a medium of general instruction in Science, it is an actual wonder of art."—Spectator, Nov. 8, 1829. " This is not an Annual, but an evergreen; a gem in its way; containing a clear and neatly written epitome of all those amusements which are appropriate to Young Ladies, and mixing its instructions with such a pleasant versatility of attractive matter, that we have no hesitation in recommending it to the boudoir and the drawing•room." —Atlas, Nov. 8, 1829. " In a word, whether we look on the Young Lady's Book as it resp,cts Art, Science, or Recreation, it stands unique from every other Publication, and, aR such, must be received throughout the Literary world."—News, Nov. 8, 1829. " The Young Lady's Book will enjoy a more perma nent popularity than any of its competitors during the present Gift-giving season."—Court Jonc., Nov. 21. 18t9. " The Young Lady's Book is a present far more useful and instructive than any thing we have seen since the new fashion of yearly publications has obtained. This Book contains a sm t of Encyclopedia of Female Arts and Accomplishments ; indeed, a collection of every thing with n hich the most delicate and refined of our Young Ladies should be acquainted."—John Bull, Nov. 29, 1829. " Whether we view it in the light of a moralist, an in structor, or as a gay and smiling companion, entering into all the elegant accomplishments which add a grace to virtue, we still find it unexceptionable, both in matter and manner, altogether one of the most acceptable presents that could be offered to a young Lady."--Morning Post, Nov. 17, 1829.

P. :MILNER, Accountant. (From the Courrier Francais.) Pam, DEc. 27.—The Ministry is so alive to the representative system, that the most extraordinary reports are in circulation. We have already men tioned that the French Cabinet had submitted to Foreign Cabinets some questions relative to the in ternal situation of France. These communication•, so contrary to the national dignity, have of late been more frequent, and it is said that the following ques tion has been asked :—ln case the French Govern ment should find it necessary to make an alteration in the fundamental laws, could it rely on support from Foreign Powers ? To this note no answer has yet been received. The French Ministry relies probably on the peace in the East to allow the co operation of the Powers in the affairs of France ; and it thinks that at present a new Holy Alliance may be formed. It is painful to us to mention such rumours. After so many proofs of humiliation, it is time France was restored to her place and her power, and that the counter-revolutionists should cease to invoke foreign aid, when at home they meet only with neglect and contempt. (Frum the ConstitutionneL) PARIS, DEC. 27.—The acquittal of the Journal des Debats has made the Ministry furious, and its Evening Paper published yesterday the two follow ing articles:— " The infallibility of the inferior tribunals is a respectable fiction. The arret of the Court the day before yesterday is beyond our competency; but we can assert, as within our competency, that the licentiousness of the Press has now no bounds, and that legislation has left the Government disarmed, exposed to the attacks of faction. It is wisdom not to be vexed at what is past, but to make it u guide to improvement in our institutions. Thus the check■ which the cause of order may receive are useful; for this is for the general interest, which must prevail." " No, the penal laws against the Press are not sufficient. This is proved by the Tribunal of Cor rectional Police having sentenced the Editor of the Journal des Debats to six months' imprisonment, and to pay a tine of 500 francs, and that the Pro cureur de Roi had appealed against the minimum. The article of the law invoked against the Editor increases the fine to 10,000 francs, and imprison ment to five years, with an interdict on all civil rights. iWe must seek, therefore, for another source of the licentiousness of the Press, and we believe that our legislative education is every day making flesh progress." It ImeT)mes the anarchical apologists of right di vine, the fire-brands of state tricks, to complain of the licentiousness of the Press, when they have pushed it to the greatest extreme. It was not enough to maintain that the Elective Chamber could not refuse its consent to the Budget—now the tribunals must submit their consciences to the passions of the Ministry; and, for the satisfaction of M. de Polignac, declare an author guilty when they thought him innocent. The Magistrates, therefore, are in the same disgrace as the Deputies. It is not the Legislation that must be reformed, but the Niagistrates who must be changed. What is intended by these threats of the Ministerial Journal ? Are we to have Polignac Commissions, as we had formerly Maupeou Parliament.? Or will the Chief Minister, condemning himself to be popular, give the Press the Trial by Jury ? (From the Journal des Debate.) _ The General Council of the Bank of France has fixed at 34 francs per share the dividend of the second half rear of 1829. The Reserve is of two francs per share. The dividend is to be paid with open doors at the Palace of the Bank, beginning the 2d of January next. The Shareholders may transmit powers of attorney to receive and sign their quota. It will be indispensably necessary to exhibit the titles. The documents respecting the Association Brc tonne, and the suit commenced by M. Aguado, against the Quotidienne, the Constitutionnel, and the Journal du Commerce, have reached the clerks% office of La Cour Royale. The Court will pro nounce judgment in these causes during the course of January. The Court of Assize terminated the cause res pecting the theft of 12,000 francs, committed in the church of St. Roche, upon Madame de La Fare, on Thursday evening. The aggravation of the penalty —that is to say, the condemnation to seclusion— could not be applied to the accused from the verdict of the Jury, but in as far as complicity had been proved. The circumstance being set aside, the rabbery committed in a church belonged to the class of simple thefts, with the only difference—that the 463 d Article, which admitted of the penalty being lessened, is no longer applicable. The youth La Fontaine, called LI Grandeur, has alone been found guilty of the theft of a bag containing six large sol pieces, belonging to Made moiselle Victoire Carori, and of the theft of a bag containing 12,000 francs in burl:-notes belonging to the Countess de La Fare. Antoine Sauvagnac, aged 17, the little Melihi r, aged 14, and Madame la Fontaine, the mother of the principal culprit, hive been declared accomplices only account of the share they had in the concealment. Consequently La Fontaine and Antoine Sauvagnac have been con demned only to five years' imprisonment each, and Madame La Fontaine and the little Melihior to only two years' imprisonment. (From the Journal du Commerce.) The report gains confirmation that M. Ouvrard has reecived the promise from the Minister of Var that the liquidation of the supplies to the army of Spain shall be revised. What interest can his Ex cellency have to attack an affair already adjudged ? The wife of a posthoy at the Haycock inn st Wsnsford, near Stamford, named RUSSELL, was on Tuesday last delivered of three ch.ldren, all girls. One of them is since dead.—Boston Gazett,. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE : TIIE CLERK IN ♦ DILEMMA.—On Christmas-day, at die Chapel of the most Illessmi Virgin Mary, on the clerk giving out " Lei us sing to the praise and glory of Got), art anthem," a psu►e ensued : after which he exclaimed aloud, with ali " I bare neither number or book !" The con fusion of the clerk, the kelter skelter of the vergers to the organ loft, and the risibility of the congregation mar easily be imagined, until the respected chaplain gave out from the communion table " No. 112, page 53," thus having been obliged to officiate both as parson and clerk The organ then commenced, and the congregation en joyed a rich treat of sacred _ . It will be remarked that this letter was written before the date of the late invasion. The oliset - - vations, therefore, about the conduct of the Spaniards who were expelled from the country, and who mainly contributed to prepare the ex . • pedition, have been justified by the eveut in a way to show the sagacity of the writer. They likewise afford us an assurance that no tie:U:lr act of folly or madness can be perpetrated. " You remind me of my premise to give you a sketch of the state of this country, and I :direst IT pent having been so rash. It is a tubjeet diftHilt to be explained, and difficult to be understood, by a person who has passed his life in Europe, in the midst of the civilization of the nineteenth century, and under long established Governments. The error wlich has been committed by all p its ho have examined this country, is the comparison they draw between the new Spanish states of Arre: ice and the free and civilized nations of Europe, Ls they present themselves in this age; wherea , i< insy ins fairly doubted whether this nation had adv:lneed orie step in knowledge, or civilization, front the time ef the conquest to the moment of declaring themselece independent of the mother country. Freese._ it, ex tensive and fez-tile territory, its rich and var ad 1 -o ductions, and especially its great mitten:tem:Az, Mexico was watched over with greater and mole jealous care than any other portion of the Spani,it possessions in America. livery precaution that human prudence could suggest was taken, and Cie'. Ce'Shiny taken, to prevent the access of straireers or the introduction of books, that might tend to en lighten the people. Not only were the Mexicans deprived of the means of keeping pace with the rapid progress of knowledge in other count ries during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but the peculiar circumstances in which they were placed scarcely allowed them to retain the eta, ion they occupied in the scale of civilization immrtlia - cly after the conquest. The emigrants front Spein, who alone were permitted to enter the ciiteit!y, were, for the most part, the most ignorant and viieous por tion of the people well known to b? nearly a eon u y behind the rest of Europe. They came to ore, pr all the places of profit or trust, and to keep in tubjection the children of the soil. The exiseeni-e of art agri cultural population, descendants of the aeeient In dians, had a singular effect upon the cleiracter of the Spanish settlers. The poorest man scorned to be placed on a level wiih the bi.lien; his colour ennobled hint, and Spaniards, or their de scendants, would have perished rather thee degrade their caste by working in the field, or by following. any other laborious occupation in which the Indians are habitually employed. Here, then, is waz:ting• that portion of a community which forme the Join cipal strength of every nation,—a free end rheum's peasantry. 'lhe Indian population cement yet be regarded in that light. They are slow!) emerging. from the wretched state of vassalage to v. hick they have been reduced; but they must be educated and relieved from the tyranny of the groseee,t supersti tion before they Coin become useful citizens. At present at least seven-eighths of the population of Mexico live in wretched hovels, deiritute of the most ordinary conveniences, their furniture con sisting of a few coarse mats to sit and sleep on ; their clothing miserably coarse and scanty, and their food fraits and vegetables. It is not that the pike of labour is so low as to deprive them of the means of earning a more comfortable subsistence, nor are they by any means an idle race, but they ere encou raged and frightened into the habit of employing all their money in pageants of the church, in which Heathen and Christian rites are strangely mingled. The white population, in whose hands the whole property of the country is concentred, were but little more advanced. The colleges and other institutions of education were liberally endowed, but served only to enrich the curators and profseeors. The youth were taught nothing useful, as you may suppose, when I tell you, that it is not ten days since I re ceived an invitation to attend a Func.ion of the University of Mexico, when the Degree of Doctor of Civil Law, was to be conferred upon an eminent student, and the theme wes, The immaculat e con ception,' and yet the means of acquiring knowledge now are greater than they were before the revolu tion. Their lamentable ignorance, the absence of all excitement to exertion, a mild and enervating climate, which affords the means of suhsiseence most without labour, and their coestant intercom-se with the Aborigenes, debased as they w ere to the very lowest class of human beings, not only pre vented these people from making any advancement in civilization, but when to these causes are added the degraded state of the church, and tie excessive ignorance and shocking profligacy of the clergy, who exercised a fetal influence over the people, it is not surprising that the Mexicans of the nineteenth cen tury should be interim in knowledge and in moral character to their ancestors of the sixteenth. In examining, therefore, the actual condition of these countries, we must keep is view the point from which they set out, after shaking off the ycke of Spain. " A people in the condition I have described, suddenly called upon to govern themselves, must ne cessarily fall into innumerable errors under any form of government they had chosen to adopt. That of a Federal Republic, as it requires and cabs into action a greater number of public men than any other, makes them feel more acutely their inability at present, although it is the best calculated, in the end, to instruct their youth in the science of govern ment, and to cause them" to appreciate and cherish free institutions. 6 ' At the adoption of the present constitution, and the election of ' President 'Vittoria,' the aff,tirs of Mexico wore the most favourabla appeanince. The large sums of money introduced into the coun try by the several mining companies produced the most benefical effects upon the agriculture of the districts in Which the mines are situated, and con tributed very essentially towards the osperity of the states. Whatever may he the result of these speculations to the indi►iduals engaged in them, they have produced lasting benefits to Mexico, and to the nations engaged in commerce with this country. " From the nature and physical construction of these regions, the chief t xchangeable product is the precious metals; and by these operations the mines have been made to produce annually nearly fifteen millions of dollars—an amount more likely to in crease than diminish. The loans which the Govern ment made in London had a more doubtful effrct upon the prosperity:of this country ; the Corninand of money I eniered the Goveduzent improvideur. They acted as if the millions they had borrowed formed a part of their annual income—they aug mented the number of troops, purchased rotten and worthless ships of war, and continued the la vish expenses and scandalous abuses of the siceregul Government. The higher cr d ers o f the ekrgy, the aristocracy, and the European .Spaniards, were al most rem:died to a republican government by this state of thin g s.

FP , a Bourbcrt- I ),seated on the Throne of Mexico. ' With this viewA t ey contributed to the revolution, and as is well lten made this event a condition of their adhesion*'the cause of independence, both in the plan of Ygnala, and the treaties of Cordova. Fius; rated in their expectations by the ambition of iturbide, this party, with few exceptions, united their force against hitn,and hurled him from the throne. They met, after the destruction of the Imperial Go vernment with a still stronger obstacle to their wishes, in the decision of the people in favour of republican ins - itutions ; and they were driven to the necessity of yielding to the popular torrent, but exerted all their influence to establish a central government, si milar to that adopted in Colombia. The example of the confederation of the neighbouring states, and the astonishing progress they had made under that form of government, had great weight with the people, and in spite of the exertions of the Esco seees, Mexico adopted a government somewhat si milar to that of the United States of America. The great question settled, the parties were arranged in active opposition to each other. The Escoseses and cent relicts governed the country and swayed the councils of the vacillating 'Vittoria. The federalists felt their superior strength, and were so mortified at the ascendancy of their adversaries, that, ignorant of the means of acquiring the influence they wished to possess in the government, and despairing of success by any other means, they at one time contemplated having recourse to force. Fortunately they were induced to adopt milder measures. They organised themselves in the same manner as their opponents, only under a different denomination of masonry, and in this manner acquired the name of Yorkinos. By their superior numbers they gained all the elections, and the nation would have settled down tranquilly ►order their dominion had the President acted with a moderate degree of decision. He had felt his de. peudenee on the Scotch party, and had secretly pro moted the formation of that of York. But the rapid progress of the latter alarmed him, and instead of putting himself at the head of the popular party, he attempted to counterbalance the influence of each faction by dividing the power between them, so far es depended upon him. The members of his cabinet were taken from the two parties. Colonels of re giments and the higher officers of the army were so selected tie to be arranged against each other, ready to give battle at the slightest signal of their re spective parties. This misguided policy kept the counti•y in a state ofcontiuued agitation, which broke out into open war in January, 1828. The Scotch party, under their favourite leader, General Bravo, Vice-President of the Republic, took up tome, with a determination to recover their influence by force. This attempt received no support from the people, and failed of course. Bravo and his fol lowers were taken prisoners, and banished the Republic. Not discouraged by this signal defeat this party next directed their efforts to prevent the election of General Guerrero, and for that purpose determined to support the pretensions to the Presidef►cy of Don Manuel Gomez Pedraza, then Secretary at War. It is necessary to recapitu late the causes which led to their success in this in stance, in order to a perfect understanding of the late revolution. In some of the States the Legis latures that voted for Gomez Pedraza had been elected before the triumph of the democratic party in Mexico. Their time of service was about to ex pire, not a single member had been re-elected on account of their being Escoseses, and the vote they gave ma the occasion may be-regarded as an expiring effort to re-establish the power of their party. The Secretary of War is, in fact, the Commander-in- Chief of the Mexican army, and Pedraza dismissed such officers as he supposed to be adverse to his election, and filled the ranks with his own pat tisans. The European Spaniards imagined that they would be safe under the protection of Pedraza, and lavished their wealth to secure his election by gaining votes whenever the Legislatures were nearly equally di vided ; and finally, the military, in order to give proofs of their devotion to the Secretary, actually used force to awe the refractory members of some of the legislatures. In this manner the votes of 11 out of 19 of the States were obtained in favour of redleza, and from the moment the success was known the Scotch party, aided by the Senate and the Supreme Court, both bodies elected by the aristocracy, commenced a series of persecutions against their opponents, and against all persons whom they considered dangerous from their talents or popularity. The Governors of several States were impeached on anonymous charges, and some of them were suspended from their employments, and persecuted, with a degree of rancour that showed the determination of the party to bring them to the scaffold. By this most unjust and impolitic con duct, the chiefs of the York patty were driven to seek their safety it► rebellion ; and such was the diepoeition of the people that wherever the stand ard of ievelt had been erected they would have rallied round it. The revolution, as you are aware, wag begun and ended in the capital, and no greater proof can be effered of its being in accordance with the general sentiments of the people, than the eir euerietance of its having been received throughout the whole Republic with public rejoicing. The adherents of Pedraza had to fly, and to hide them selves from the indignation of the people ; corre sponding changes were immediately effected in all the States, r►ot a single voice being raised in favour of the fallen party or its chief, who had fled at the eight of the storm his ambition had raised. ‘` The Revolution is at an end, and if this Go vernment can obtain a small sum of money for their present exigencies, and go on till they organize their finances and reform the army, the tranquillity of Mexico will be secured for a very long period. " The administration will consist of President Guerrero, Bustamente, Vice-President; Zavata, Secretary o the Treasury ; Santa Ana, of IVar ; Herrera, of Grace and Justice ; and Bocanegra, of Foreign Affairs ;—all men of abilities, and the four first uniting by their character and popularity all the elements of revolution in this: country. With the means proposed, the revenue of this country may :se raised to twenty millions, and the expenses of the Government, enormous as they now are, and admitting considerable reduction, amount only to fiftee❑ millions and a half of dollars. " As it ie supposed by many that the expulsion o f the Spaniards has been an unnecessary, cruel, and ituolitic act, it may be well to explain to you that the Spaniards residing in Mexico have been actire agents in all the political changes this country has undergone for many years past. They con stantly interfered in the affairs of the Government; and, haring been accustomed to controul the actions of the Viceroys of Mexico, they could not submit quietly to the dominion of the Creoles. The revo lution effected by Iturbide received their concurrence end support, and they approved the plan of Yguala, because it was directed against the constitution of Spain, which gave the semblance of self•government to the colonies. They expected to see a Bourbon seated on the throne of Mexico ; and, since their disappointment in that hope, they have never ceased to intrigue against the independence of the Re public, and to plot against its institutions. Their superior wealth, industry, and energy of character, have rendered their efforts formidable to the Creoles, .and it is not surprising that the party in power shduld pass an act which will weaken corsiderably, if it does not totally destroy, the opposite faction. Besides, th only political feeling possessed by the ma , s of the population of Mexico, is an inveterate hatred against the Spaniards. This has been en gendered and kept alive among the Indians by tra• dition of the former cruelties of their conquerors, and by constant recurring instances of oppression. So long as the Spaniards remained in any number in the country, their residence furnished a pretence for revolution. Any demagogue might have dis turbed the peace of the country by displaying on his stanthud ' Death to the Gachupines.' It was neceasary to remove this cause of &scud at any 4aFrifice. True, it might have been done with more M ildness; but i n t i mes o f high revolutionary excite ment, itis difficult to moderate passions that have Wen riticed by the spirit of party." riticEs OF STOCKS THIS DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The French Papers contain a report on the authority of an article from Frankfort, that the Emperor of RussiA has had a relapse ; but it appears to be undeserving of credit. We have later news from Berlin, which make no mention of it : (From the Messeger des Chambres of Monday.) PARIS, DEc. 27. An ordinance is announced to us, to introduce a municipal system. It appears to be decided that the Ministry will publish, between this and the opening of the Chambers, an ordinance which will make some con cessions to the Communes. It proposes to avoid, by this means, the presentation and discussion of a project of law for the organization of the Councils- General of the Departments and the Councils of Districts and Communes. This project, it is said, will merely decentralize some part of the departmen tal affairs, without yielding any thing to the election and choice of the citizens. The text would be only a part of the projected great coup d'etat which fell before the noble attitude of the country. This or dinance was to accompany the modification of the electoral law, and of the election respecting the press. The Moniteur of Monday, the 28th of Decem ber, contains a report to the King from the Minister of Finance, and a Royal ordinance founded upon it, the object of which is to introduce more regularity and precision in the accounts of the departments of the several Ministers.

An English courier, coming from London, has passed through here on his way to Constantinople; it is believed that he carries to Sir Robert Gordon the final result of the late conferences in London, in which the entire independence of Greece is de clared. It is said that only a short time will be given to the Porte to choose between the acceptance of the protocol of 22d March, which was stipulated at Adrianople, or the new arrangement proposed iz the conferences at London. VIENNA, DEC. 19. —Metalliques, 103 ; Four per Cents, 931 ; Bank Shares, 12601. TRIESTE, DEC. 16. A Sardinian vessel, which has arrived here in twelve days from Canea, brings word that the in surrection in Candia continues with the same vio lence, and that the Greeks, who are the aggressors, make frequent incursions into the Turkish territory, which lead to skirmishes with divided success. In one of these the Captain of a French man-of-war that happened to be at anchor near the spot, endeavoured to act as mediator, and accompanied by some of his crew repaired to the scene of action. In spite of his remonstrances, however, an engagement ensued, in which the French took part, and lost four men. It is believed that the Candiot Greeks are still secretly encouraged by the Greek Govern ment and the Continent to continue hostilities, in the hope of at length obtaining the emancipation of the island. The Captain of a ship which has arrived to-day, in twenty days, from Smyrna, says it was reported there that several English men-of-war, coming from the ocean, had lately arrived from Malta. The trade of Smyrna begins to be more brisk. Many ships of war, of all nations, are stationed there : the Austrian flotilla was likewise assembling in that port. ODESSA, DEC. 5. The state of this town continues to be satisfac tory. No new case of plague has occurred. No thing new has happened in the lazaretto of the port : in the provisional lazaretto three persons (lied. The accounts from Bessarabia are satisfac tory. To our great sorrow, the winter, which set in so early, has nut become milder, but the cold is daily more severe. The thermometer has beer► at 13° below Zero, and the barometer has been uncom monly high. The harbour is not yet frozen over, but there is a good deal of ice on the coast. In short, nobody here remembers such an early and se vere winter. His Excellency Count Woronzow has returned to this town. No ships have arrived since Nov. 30 to yesterday, but 27 have sailed with cargoes of corn. THE HAGUE, DEC. 24. The first Chamber of the States General met to-day, and gave its assent to the seven projects of low relative to the finance (including those concern ing the annual and decennial budgets), voted by the Second Chamber on the 19th and 23d inst. The Second Chamber of the States General has adjourned to the 18th January. BRUSSELS, DEC. 26. Our letters from the Hague say that tie Mem bers of the Second Chamber have separated with feelings of the most lively satisfaction at the issue of the debate on the Budget. Several Depu ties, whose opinions appeared very different from each other, have happily come to an under. standing, and all have congratulated themselves on being able to perform their duties conscientiously without affecting the interests of our different pro vinces, and lightening as much as the service of the state would permit the weight of the public burdens. The liberality with which the King has endeavoured to answer the objections made in the sections and in the debate, the constitutional measure to which he has had recourse to provide for the public wants, the explanation given in his name with so much readiness and confidence, have strengthened the sen timents of gratitude and attachment to the excellent Prince who watches over the destinies of our country. FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, DEC. 10.—The Turkish Ambassador is shortly expected, but it is believed that his mission will be unsuccessful, and that the Emperor will not make any concession, besides those which he has made already. Several members of the Royal Family of Prussia are expected in January at St. Petersburgh, and in spring they will go with the Emperor to Moscow. The Brighton Gazette of this morning has the following : " In pursuance of the economical system now acted upon by his Majesty's Government, a reduction of 200 men has been ordered in the Sussex Coast Blockade, and of 350 in that of Kent. A similar reduction will, we understand, take place throughout the Navy, not however diminishing the total amount of sailors employed, but lessening the number in each ship, and consequently enabling a greater number of vessels to continue afloat.— This will of course apply only to ships on home service. The reduction will take place on the let of January ; and the force then under command of Capt. Mingaye, in this district, will consist of 1,200 men." We can clearly understand the reduction in the Coast Blockade, but the " similar reduction in the Navy" surpasses our comprehension. The total amount of sailors is not to be diminished, but the number in each ship is to be lessened , in order to enable a greater number of vessels to continue afloat ! This is reduction with a vengeance, and strongly reminds us of the Irish drummer, who, in a similar fit of economy on a cold night, cut off a piece from the foot of his blanket to add to the top, in order to keep his head warm ! It is said that Mr. DA-v - lEs is about to insti tute legal proceedings against the parties impli cated in the late attack against himself. Mr, DAVIES, who is delicately circumstanced, has an important duty to discharge both to himself and the public, and we have no doubt will pro ceed with circumspection and firmness in the discharge of that duty. The public are with him,—his cause is theirs,—and if there be any truth in the maxim, that in England " there is no wrong without a remedy," the law must be with him also. The Jury under the late Commission have I , ably and honestly discharged their duty, and have shown a proper deference to the Mad Doctors, by pronouncing an unanimous verdict on their evidence only,—the case wanting no other. The public, however, must alwayS remember it is only where the property of an individual is particularly circumstanced that a Commission issues, and a Jury is im pannelled, (we shall not at present stop to show how the evidence, &c. under these Corn missions is generally got up), but that in all other cases where the property is merely personal, (Exchequer-bills, bills of exchange, stock in trade, &c.), of which other persons may possess themselves without any transfer, conveyance, or act of law, the certificate of two doctors, with out the previous intervention of Judge, Jury, or other authority,—feed in most cases with the money of the victim by the friend who applies for the certificate,—is sufficient to deprive him of his all, and incarcerate him within one of those abodes of wretchedness and misery—a mad-house. In France, we believe, that no man can be incarcerated as a lunatic, unless by the previous verdict of a Jury of his country men ; yet in England, the boasted land of law and liberty, the fiat of two Mad Doctors (assum ing, to adopt the language of our contemporary the Morning Herald, " the double office of magi strate and gaoler, and both for their own profit") is all that is required to incarcerate him, per haps fbr ever—a power which no man ought to possess, and with which no honest man would desire to be entrusted. And who, and what, are Mad Doctors ? Let their own evidence before the late Commissioners—answer that inquiry. We may be thought severe in our strictures; but let any man, possessed Of the feeling that becomes a man, read the evi dence given before the Parliamentary Commit tees, and then say whether we do the Mad Doctors injustice, or whether there are any terms in the English language that can do them justice ! The law in these matters must be altered, — to amend in the customary sense will not be suf ficient,—the persons and property of individuals must be protected from the gross tyranny, in justice, and oppression, to which, under the pre sent system, they are subject. Mr. BROUGHAM, in his late address to the Jury (speaking of the present state of the law) said, " That the law " should long continue so, after the disclosures " this case has made, I hold to be wholly ha " probable :" We go further than the Learned Gentleman— we fervently hope, and as confidently believe, it is wholly impossible. In taking leave of the year 1829, which, in the course of a few hours, will have passed from' us, " to be seen again no more for ever," a question seems naturally to occur, which cannot be considered too much, or too anxiously— whether the condition of the people of this coun try has been improved or deteriorated during its revolution ? or, in other words, whether the year that has passed has added to, or taken from, the amount of the general happiness ? The effect of so few measures can be felt within a few months, that it is, to the future rather than the present that we must look, in appreciating the benefits arising from signal acts . - of justice on the part of the Legislature, such as the restoration of the Catholic 3 to their civil rights. The Catholic Relief Bill alone will make the last Session of Parliament for ever remarkable in history, as the sera in which religious persecution ceased to exist in the British kingdom. King GEORGE the FOURTH has thus ratified his Edict of Names for the restoration of religious peace in his dominions—an edict, of which the utmost efforts of bigotry and intolerance will, we may safely predict, never procure the revocation. Its healing influence has already begun to operate in Ireland ; and though the language of panegyric may have exaggerated the benefits it has con ferred on that unhappy country, the measure is, nevertheless, of inappreciable value, as being the indispensable preliminary to every step that could be taken towards the social reformation of the Irish people. If the settlement of the Catholic question oc cupied a large portion of time, it has done so not undeservedly. The difficulties were almost insurmountable ; quite so, indeed, to any Mi nister who had not possessed the strong common sense—the extensive knowledge of the world— and the almost omnipotent influence of the Noble Person who now presides in his Majesty's Councils. Besides the all-engrossing question, therefore, our Legislature has done little, save the esta blishment of the New Police in London—an institution which, as tending directly to the pre vention of crime, and the security of persons and property, must be regarded as a great gain to society. Much, indeed, remains to be done before crime can be expected sensibly to diminish among us, for whilst poverty and ignorance exist, the incentives to evil will, we fear, never be wanting. To remedy the latter of these, the most unwearied efforts continue to be made ; and when we see the most distinguished and powerful men in the kingdom uniting in societies for the diffusion of useful knowledge, and for spreading information among the people cheaply and plentifully—when we observe the constant augmentation in the numbers of popular schools of all denominations—and when we have just witnessed the foundation of an university in the west of England, in emulation of the two simi lar establishments of the metropolis—we cannot but admit with wonder, the rapid strides with which the schoolmaster is advancing, nor can we anticipate without joy, the prospect of every suc ceeding year rendering the people of England more learned and intelligent than they now are— and consequently more virtuous, and more happy. If we compare the internal peace and pros perity of Great Britain, with those of other nations of the European confederacy, we shall generally have great reason to be satisfied and thankful. The tranquillity of France has been interrupted by setting over her an odious Minis try, the continuance of which bids fair to goad the people into a second revolution. The Netherlands are threatened with the deprivation of that inestimable right, without which freedom is but an empty name—the liberty of the Press. In the south, Turkey bids fair to relapse into her ancient barbarism. Italy is groaning under the galling yoke of foreigners. Spain is losing her inhabitants, her industry, and almost her name as a nation. And Portugal, whose prisons are crowded with the victims of a tyrannical usurpa tion, seems, of itself, as little able to resist op pression, as its fair and tender SOVEREIGN, who was lately carried from our shores, having abandoned the vain hope of the assistance of the most ancient and powerful ally of her family and her cause. That in many parts of this country consider able suffering does exist, cannot be disputed ; but the depression we believe to be merely tem porary. The resources of the country are unim paired—the energy of the people undiminished —there are no symptoms of permanent decay in our land. The difficulties we have to struggle against must be met boldly, and grappled with firmly ; and by so doing, the future may be looked to with confidence aud hope. Those who live in hope live in joy. Men should con sole themselves for the misfortunes that are past, by anticipating the good that is to come. The habit of looking constantly back to former times is productive, in general, of little but sorrow ; but the future is before us all; and happy are those that can derive from it consolation for the past, and can, by its aid, whilst years are mul tiplying upon them, preserve to their minds the freshness and the animation of youth. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY had an interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN, on Tuesday, at tke Foreign-office. The Lord Chief Baron of Scotland is con fined to his residence in Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square, by severe indisposition. Mr. HERRIES has left town for his seat at Seven Oaks, Kent.

Her husband acknowledges her in his letters, and if he is not ashamed of receiving the fruits of her exertions, he ought not to be ashamed of letting her Publicly bear his name."

CITY, TWELVE O' CLOCK LIVERPOOL, DEC. 29.—The sales to-day in Cot ton were 2,500 bales, with a very firm market, and prices inclining. upwards. New York Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, by the London Line of Packet ship the Corinthian, but they are entirely void of interest. Halifax Papers to the 21st November, and Ber muda to the 27th October, have been received.— The Halifax Paper notices the sailing of a whale ship from Halifax, which is the fourth that Halifax has sent out within a short time. The weather at the above place has been very mild. Baltimore Papers have also been received at the above Coffee-house to the 27th November, in which it is stated from New Orleans, that the city is com pletely restored to health, and business resumes its former activity. Accounts received from Madrid, of the 17th De cember, state that the disaster of Barradas's expe dition to Mexico has not damped the spirits of the town of Cadiz, which has offered to his Majesty to equip 1,000 men, and to send them at their own expellee to Mexico, at the same time calling on the other cities to follow their example. The information from St. Petersburgh, of the 11th of December, says that the Emperor will not recede any further in regard to the indemnities of Turkey, and it is expected that some of the Prus sian Royal Family will proceed in January to St. Petersburgh, and in the Spring to Moscow. They write from Odessa, of the 27th of Nov., that three hundred ships were there loading and un loading. THE FUNDS.

The engraving is executed with freedom and ability, particularly the back-ground, the distance of which is happily preserved. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Mr. KEAN ap peared last night as Brutus, in the tragedy of that name. His performance was very tame and epiritlese, and elicited not the slightest interest. Wild fowl, swans, geese, ducks, Src., were seen in considerable abundance about Lewes and Laucinz brooks last week. THE FROST.—Sprinkle 21b. of common salt (which will cost Id. or 2.1. at most) on six or eight yards of pavement, and in less than hour the ice will be so much dissolved that it may be swept off with a broom. The following curious letter appears in a Daily Paper :—" Sir,—You will much oblige me by contradicting the statement i❑ the Queen-square Police Report, in your Paper, Dec. 29, of Alio Goucie being seduced by Capt. GOUGH, which is untrue, as it was by an officer in the same regiment.—Louisa. GOUGH, Severeigne-street." A beautiful specimen of the wild or whistling swan was shot off the harbour of Shoreham, on Tuesday afternoon. It measured in length four feet ten inches ; in breadth the wings extended seven feet ; and weighs nearly eighteen pounds. This bird differs from the tame swan, not only in the external appearance, but also in the pecu liar arrangement of its trachea, which esters the keel of the breast bone, and returns after doubling itself, in a cavity, about three inches deep. These birds never visit this country but in severe winters. The last arrival of them, in any number, was in January, 1823. The above specimen is now in the possession of the Rev. 1. Cootie, of St George's-place.—Brighton Gazette. EXECUTION.-(THIS DAY.) This morning being appointed for the execution, at ad Bailey, of William Newitt, aged 36, for sheer stealing; Z homes Thomas Maynard, aged 86, for fag: ing a Custom-house order on the Bank of Buglan d j Stephen Sandford, aged 24, and William Leslie, gr . ' 31, for the robbery at Messrs. Stultz, the tailors ; at e usual time all the dreadful but necessary preparations depriving them of existence were completed. The cro w { was rather great, and by the bustle and anxiety evin ce` ij by groups of men, and even women, running to th e Bailey, through all the avenues leading to it, one vo u ' i have thought that the attraction was a scene of life an' gaiety rather than of death. The Sheriffs having arrived, and all things bei n g ja readiness, Newitt was the first brought into the P re ' s' room ; he seemed indisposed to communicate with any or and made no remark. He looked considerably better . t°, point of bodily health, than on his trial, and his drop s ? ein and unnaturally corpulent appearance seemed to have lo" proved on the prison discipline. There is little reason to dou bt that the bottle of prussic acid, which was found betwe e° the pavement of the condemned yard, had been pissed the re by this man. 'This fact was partly confirmed by obserey Lon subsequent to the discovery of the bottle. It was 6 r et suggested, in order to defeat the intention, and detect the suicide, that an emetic should be substituted for the p ol ' son; but this stratagem was, from motives of humanity' abandoned. After Hewitt was tied, Sandford was brough t in: he seemed cool and collected, and smiled. lie °i r, 'erred to the person who was binding his arms, " Th' must be very unpleasant to you." Leslie was next Pre' pared. He complained of the behaviour of his late nor tors (Messrs. Stultz), to whom, he raid, he had writteo, requesting they would assist his wife and three childrea, after his execution, as they were in the greatest want , but he observed that his prosecutors had refused to du # O, contrary to his expectation. Maynard was next boned. He appeared firm, bowed respeetfully, and bad those pre: sent "goo d bye," when he was tied. He was atte nded by a respectable Dissenting Minister. The melancho l y procession then commenced, and the unfortunate eel, the ideas presented to them by their prite appeared absorbed in the conternplatio.n. °, the Pr t r na advisers. After passing a few paces bell and the words of the burial service reminded tu t.r e p : that their moments were numbered, and that & fe w „1 t . () %1 more would bring them to a public death. Sau burst into tears, but the others showed little entotton.l Newitt, the butcher, mounted the scaffold first, an, scented perfectly insensible to the noise and presence or the crowd, calmly looking on the preparations making f o e his the his fellow-culprits. At length all was ready, an a t moment the Rev. Mr. Cotton and the executioner had h' the floor, and certainly before it could have been expect e ., l ' the drop fell. Leslie alone seemed dead almost inane° . ately, but the other three struggled considerably. They were cut down after hanging the usual time. By th i ` t execution no less than 13 unfortunate children have bees deprived of their natural protectors. Maynard has left " wife and five children, Sandford a wife and one 011 1 °1 Leslie a wife and three children, and Newitt a wife and four children.

VI EW OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY. LONDON 1829. If experien ce makes a man wise—if an ex tensive practical acquaintance with certain griev ances qualifies the sufferer for writing on the SUb j ec t of such grievances—then are the stric turea of Mr. Long Wellesley on the forms, Processes, and embarrassing expences of the Court of Chancery entitled to very grave con ideration. R evers i ng t h e o ld a d age , th a t " a burnt child d rea d s t h e fi re ," this gentleman re turns- to the subject of his latter annoyances w ith a heartiness and perseverance, not to ga Y a freshness of zeal, which we have Seldom, if ever, seen equalled. Difficulties "ern to rise up, one after another, in his path, 7 1 . 1 y for th e purpose o f s h ow i n g with what ree- I ntim he can brush them away " like dew - drops f n 3 Tn. the lion's mane." This indomitable perse- I sranee -argues a very high, and what is greater r e aise still, a very rare order of mind ; for how *---how very few, after having lost in four Yesra Upwards o f 20 , 0001., b es id e s having been deprived of their paternal rights by successive l aw -Suits and decrees of the Court of Chancery, wn uld have sufficient energies left to grapple si ngle-handed with the hundred-headed Hydra o f their difficulties ! But Mr. Wellesley, like his uncle, is not. a man to be dispirited, as his P r esent Tre a tise every where evinces. The work b ears unequivocal marks of legal research, and P,roves also that its author, besides being well- Skilled in the " sermones utriusque lingua," is Perfectly at home with the modern French and Italian literati. On the infelicitous —to give it the most courteous term—system of the Court of Chancery, he descants at length, and with much pertinent sagacity, following in the lame- track, though diverging here and there from the main path, that Mr. M. A. Taylor and others have trode before him. We need not add, that Mr. Wellesley makes out a strong case ; that he exposes the weak, defenceless, untenable points of the Chancery system, and lay s tlle lash upon that system with as much scientific dexterity as the late Dr. Parr, (greatly to his credit) used to evince in the flagellations of a refractory Harrovian. His episodical sketch of Lord Eldon is sternly but forcibly painted; nothing was ever more true, few things more po litely caustic. We subjoin a specimen : " Lord Eldon is an avowed disciple of Mr. Pitt. Look , at the declaration of that statesman in early life, as to the necessity of reform ; his sweeping reform in the Irish re presentative system ; the Union between Ireland and England ; his dissolution of the Irish Parliament, &el. I cannot help thinking that the man who now marks himself out as adverse to all reform, must either have forgotten or mistaken the principles he professes to uphold, whea he professes himself a supreme Pittite. I have already said, that that which might have been con sidered yesterday as destruction, may be to-day salvation ; and this, I contend, was Mr. Pitt's frequent policy. Ile, then, is not to be stigmatised as an anti-Pittite, Or as infected with revolutionary principles, who now demands to see effected those wholesome and necessary reforms which the particular exigencies of the times caused once to be held in disrepute. The indemnity we formerly required for the past has b ee n obtained ; and the security which we want for the future is now within our grasp. I think I have a right to say his Lordship's conduct upon a recent occasion in Parlia ment justifies my original opinion. Time has made Lord Eldon unequal to himself. He either does not feel the change of circumstances, or, tenacious of the political in fluence he has obtained, has resolved to use it for the pur poses of his own aggrandisement. l'Untrer 'his Lordship's auspices a report, it is true, has come forth with regard to the evils of the Court of Chan cery; but so overloaded with technicalities that it is un intelligible to all but a privileged few. No man has been hardy enough to venture to expound its meaning to that part of the community who are unlettered in equity juris prudence. Notwithstanding this, the vices of the Court Are beginning to be understood, and the public call aloud for remedy. " His Lordship evinces none of those qualifications which are the essentials to magnanimity. Pitt ! Pitt ! Pitt! no reform ; no abandonment of ancient rights—the throne—the law, and the clergy ; the dignity of high station; the power of the executive, as it was found ne cessary to maintain it in all times, when at our doors were anarchy and confusion. These are:the watch-words and symbols of Lord Eldon's political principles. He cannot be brought to conceive that these views do not belong to the present times, and that they cannot he carded into effect now that there are no grounds for apprehending sudden disorders from rebellion ; when there is no enemy at our gates, seeking the extinction of our liberties, or the destruction of our political power." In closing our necessarily brief account of this spirited treatise, we cannot help expressing our regret, that in certain passages a feeling of exa cerbation, rather too warm and personal, has been suffered to obtrude itself. This is not, perhaps, to be wondered at ; but Mr. 'Wellesley should remember, that the cause of truth is to be forwarded, not by rancour or personality, but by the tempered weapons of a calm, unbiassed judgment, which, in its zeal to promote the public good, merges the recollection (however difficult) of private wrongs. The review of Coleridge's Works, whic forms the opening article of this periodical, seems to have been put forth for the purpose of show ing that the Westminster Reviewers, so far from misunderstanding the nature and uses of poetry, or holding it in abhorrence, are in reality equally at home on subjects of feeling and imagination as on those of a more homely, practical, and mecha nical nature. If this be their intention, we can only say that in the present instance it is a failure ; for the poetical intellect of Coleridge, so far from being, what the Reviewer hints throughout that it is, of a healthy, logical, and consistent character, is dreamy, wild, incongruous, and obscure to a de gree seldom or never surpassed among poets of any age or nation. We need not go far for proofs of this assertion, they abound in every page of Coleridge's works. " The Remorse," notwithstanding its many transcendant beauties both of thought and expression, is full of them. So also is Christabel, Kubla-Khan, the Rime of the Anciente Marinere, and the majority of those metaphysical—or, as the author lcves to call them—" meditative" poems, which a few years since were collected and published toge ther, in one volume, under the title of " Sibyl line Leaves." Yet this is the man that the Benthamites stoutly assert, is " one of us !" This is the author who, though in many respects a first-rate poet, is at the same time vague, ramb ling, incoherent, and m ysterious, and whose imagination is here lauded to the skies, for its logical and continuous character ! We can conceive no severer calamity befall- ing an ttrrgittsttve writer, than his 'being petted by a Westminster 'Reviewer. .:What should the catechisers on the Corn Law's have in common with the creator of. that " psycholo- gical curiosity" Christabel ? What possible con nection can exist between the reasoners on the " True Theory of Rent" and the wild unfettered poet who conjured up the daring sublimities and diable . rie of the Ancient Mariner ? When the Westminster Reviewers take up a question of commerce, or plain practical utility : when they discuss Mr. Ricardo's Theories of Rent—Mr. Bentham's Notions of Jurispru- dente—Mr. Sadler's Political Tenets—the West India Sugar Question—the Thames Water Question—or that strange compound of adroitness and foppery, the Greatest Happiness Principle—when they discuss these or similar questions, they invariably bring ingenuity, vigour, and research to their task. But beyond this they can effect little or nothing. Their essays on Poetry—Romance—and the Fine Arts, are miserably trite and jejune, and as they set out in their literary career with a profound contempt for the Classics, it is not to be ex pected that any very striking felicities of thought or expression should flow from their pens. They commence their notice of Coleridge by an asser tion that all first-rate poets are sound reasoners, forgetting the authors of the " Fairy Queen," the " Faithful Shepherdess," and a host of others of the same stamp, with whose fancy logic had not the most distant acquaintance—and then proceed to apply this theory to Coleridge, whose genius it fits about as well as a lady's lace-cap would fit the elephant at the Adelphi. There are various other critical misapprehensions in this article, which, however, we cannot here stay to enumerate, so must pass on to something more agreeable. " The Thames Water Ques tion" is an ably drawn-up paper, full of spirit and sagacity, in which occurs the following sin gular remarks respecting the healthiness and utility of the river mud and aninzakulce : " There is, however, a directly purifying cause which has not been noticed, never noticed, while, singularly enough, it is one of the greatest grievances complained of. This is the mud of the river itself. We use the vulgar and prejudiced term : speaking chemically, we mean the clay, a mixture, properly, of finely divided silica and alumina chiefly. This is a precipitant to the matters in solution ; it combines with them, especially with that obscure mucilaginous or extractive matter, which cor rupts or injures that water which is notorious for bad ness, and carries it to the bottom, where its decomposi tion is afterwards completed ; sometimes, however, not very quickly. So it is, that there may be pure water lying upon offensive mu d.o Thus the very clay of the Thames, which renders it so disagreeable to the eye, i, one of the causes of its purification and its purity. Muddy water is doubtless an evil, but it is at least innocent ; and it is seldom very difficult to purify. And if it is the visible evil of the Thames water, let us at least console ourselves with reflecting that it produces a balance of good, and is a curable disease. " Our limits compel us to be very brief; but we cannot pass over those formidable shrimps which have been the source of so much absurd alarm and bad language. It may surprise an ignorant man, to be told that they are also purifiers of water, yet such is the fact. We need not eat them, raw or boiled ; but even if we did, they are as good eating as any other shrimps. Their office in water is good and useful ; and, as in so much more of Nature's doings, they were probably intended to be useful to us, or others, as well as to themselves. When water, stagnating water of course, is corrupt, through animal, and often also through vegetable matter, these animals are small or in visible, and their abundance is often such as to render it absolutely thick ; a sort of soup. These swarms are the prey and food of larger ones, and of this very terrific shrimp among the rest ; and it is quite sufficient to intro duce a few of these into such water, to purify it in a few days. They devour the evil ; and the harm which they may do in return is not diseoverable. Nay, there is not a boor peasant in England who does not know, that, if he wants to keep a covered spring or well pure for use, he must put a frog into it if he does not find one there. The blockhead who should set forth to kill his frogs would soon find his spring-water worthy of a real committee of doctors at Almack's; and vety probably the doctors and the committee would pass a vote of censure and anathema on the tadpoles. Such are the advantages of learning in chemistry and natural history." " History and Doctrine of Buddhism" enters at some length, and in an animated manner, into the nature of that system of religion which has for •so many centuries exercised an un bounded influence over the East. It is well worth an attentive perusal, especially that por tion of it which enters into a minute detail of the doctrines of the founder, Buddha. " Pro vincial Newspaper Press," is a homely un adorned account of the different Irish, Scotch, and English provincial Journals, their merits, circulation, and a variety of other et ceteras con nected with them. The returns of the stamps of many of these Newspapers are curious to those interested in periodical literature. " Head's North American Forest Scenes" is entertaining, but with little novelty or information to lend it importance. Its best recommendations are, that it is divested of superciliousness—the too com mon fault of the Westminster Reviewers—and assumption. On Monday, the 4th of January next, will be published a New Weekly Journal, Tim COUNTRY TuiEs, and Agricultural and Commercial Advertiser, price only Sevenpence, which will contain fuller and more accurate Tables of all the Markets in the Kingdom for Corn, Cattle and Merchandise of every description, than is contained in any other Newspaper, and give the fullest intelligence on all Foreign and Domestic subjects. THE COUNTRY Ties will contain thirty-two closely-printed columns in eight pages, the subjects so arranged and classified as to enable the reader to turn at once to any particular article. It will also be so formed, that it may be separated into two complete sheets, each having its own department of in formation, and therefore capable of accommodating two readers at once, and, in fact, answering the purpose of two Newspapers. An Index and Title-page will be an nually published ; thus enabling the subscribers to bind up their papers, which will form, at the close of the year, a volume of peculiar interest, from the great variety of topics embraced in its pages.

RUSSELL had been taken up and examined immediately after the murder ; but the circum stances 'against him were not deemed sufficient to warrant his committal, and he was accordingly cischarged ; he re mained at large until the early part of last week, when fur ther evidence having been obtained, he was again appre hended, and the result has been that we have above men mentioned.

" Dem.—To seating your sage-green breeches"— " Ah, there it is !" said Mr. Christopher Green.— " There lies the error !—I deny that I ever had a pair of sage-green breeches." " Gracious me!" cried Mr. Benjamin Brown, taking off his spectacles.—" Surely, Mr. Green, yeu won't go for to deny your sage-green breeches?" Indeed but I will though !" replied Mr. Green. —" I never had a pair of sage-green breeches. I hate sage-green breeches; and nothing on earth should prevail upon me to put on sage-green breeches. —l'd scorn the action !" " And why so, Mr. Green ?" demanded the Court. " That is a question which I do not see any ne cessity for my answering. It is sufficient that I utterly detest and deny them ;" replied Mr. Green. " Oh, dear me !" exclaimed Mr. Brown, " Only think that a gentleman—standing before this here honourable Court—should go for to deny them ere sage greens 1" Here Mr. Green lost what little patience he had, and literally "---" the sage greens. But, in the altercation which ensued thereupon, the cause of his mortal antipathy to sage greens was in some degree ascertained. They were the personal pro perty of a lodger of his, who wore them with such a grace as did repeatedly call forth encomiums from Mrs. Green, to the exceeding great annoyance of Mr. Green; who repeatedly admonished Mrs. Green not to mention them; and, finding his ad monitions were of non-effect, he expelled the sage green-breeches'd lodger from his premises. Where upon, the lodger,— either in revenge for the said expulsion, or from an innate propensity to evil, or from a lack of the root of all evil, did surreptitiously send those identical sage greens to be seated in Mr. Green's name. Evidence of ull this having been adduced to the satisfaction of the Court, the obnoxious sage-greens were struck out of Mr. Brown's bill, and Mr. Green paid the residue thereof instanter. on." BRAZILIAN SLAVE TRADE. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN ENGLISH OFFICER, DATED MAY 29, 1829. During the afternoon► a large ship passed into the harbour, loaded with a cargo of 580 slaves, and ano ther with 348 had previously arrived during the week. This latter vessel I passed close alongside on Saturday morning, and saw the long boat slung be tween the two masts, crowded with children from seven to twelve years of age. They were naked, and apparently in good health and spirits. The deaths during the voyage in the large vessel amounted to 40, and in the smaller to 10. The p r ice of a newly-arrived slave, in good condition, here is about 501. sterling—a high price, occasioned by the demand arising from the stipulated termina tion of the trade in February, 1830, according to a treaty made with England. The Emperor, how ever, who derives a considerable portion of his reve nues from a duty on the importations, amounting to about .5/. per head, is making great efforts to obtain an extension of the period. The number of slaves imported into this town (Rio) last year was 40,000, and doubtless the misery inflicted must have been great. I am, how ever,, of opinion that this traffic is carried on in a system as mild (if such a term can be applicable to it) as its horrid nature permits. The condition of the slaves here does not appear to be a peculiarly hard one—they are not, apparently, overworked. They seem to be generally well made, their naked shoulders, well-expressed muscular form, and fine polished skins, often put one in mind of an antique bronze statue. On the 19th, a gentleman, whom I had met at -, kindly conducted me to the street inhabited principally by the slave-merchants. We entered seven or.eight magazines, and saw probably nearly 1,000 exposed for sale. Four-fifths are children, of all ages, from five to fourteen, they being preferred on account of their greater docility than the full grown men or women. The wretched creatures in one magazine were in a dreadfully emaciated state, some being merely living skeletons. The contents of the others were generally well-conditioned. Of course, I attributed their difference of condition to the comparatively mild or cruel treatment to which they had been subjected during their transmission here. They wear a narrow piece of blue striped calico round the loins, and some of the females a handkerchief over the bosom and another on the head. They appeared generally pleased if noticed, their eyes glistening when ordered to stand up fur examination. One purchase was made in my pre sence, of five female and four male children. The purchaser walks round the different groups who were standing, sitting on benches, or squatting on their hams, and having seen one which he thinks will answer, beckons, and the slave is removed to a cor ner of the apartment. The number being completed, they are brought in a line to the light, when they are thoroughly examined, beginning with the teeth, then the beard, if a male, nostrils, eyes, arms, legs, and all over; the flesh is felt and kneaded, in order to judge of its muscular texture. If approved, they are generally clad with new garments, and marched away. A little girl of eight or nine was examined, for my curiosity, by my guide. She was asked by a slave, who performed the part of interpreter, if she would like me for a master, and, I believe, answered in the affirmative; and whilst undergoing the exami nation, the agitation of the bosom and change of the colour of her face (the flush of blood being dis tinctly visible) showed intense feeling; and I pleased myself with the idea that more of hope than fear prevaled. I sincerely wish the poor little wretch good master. The price asked for the child above . mentioned was 440 milreas, equal to about ay. sterling. Sir GEORGE MURRAY was expected to leave the residence of the Marquis and Marchioness of SALIS BURY, at Hatfield, Herts, yesterday afternoon, on his re turn to town. SPIRIT The political state of the Netherlands has lately attracted a good deal-Of . attcntion in this country from the declared ►nisunclerstauding existing be tween the Government of the King and the Le gislative Chambers of the kingdom. We rather doubt, however, whether the scanty details sup plied by the English Press of their hostile atti tude, are sufficient to enable the public generally to comprehend the precise nature of the points at issue, or to appreciate the probable results of the contest. Though, therefore, we have alluded to the topic once or twice before, we shall make no apology for again entering into some further explanations on the subject. The great cause of the dissatisfaction and agitation which now exist in the Netherlands is not of recent origin, though it has only recently displayed itself in proceedings and discussions calculated to ex cite an interest or alarm beyond the limits of that kingdom. The southern and northern pro vinces of which it is composed speak a different language, profess a different religion, and are ac tuated by rival commercial interests. The junc tion of Belgium to Holland was effected by the Congress of Vienna, for the supposed security of Europe, rather than for the promotion of their own mutual advantage : the banns were pro claimed without the consent of the par ties, and, like most forced matches, the union has hitherto been neither cordial nor happy. The King, as a Protestant and a Dutchman, is Viewed with jealousy by the Bel gic Catholics : the attachment of the latter can with more difficulty be secured, as it had previ ously been pledged to France. By their union with Holland, the Belgians have lost the French markets, without deriving a proportional advan tage from those of their new connexion. The fundamental laws of the kingdom declared the inhabitants of the northern and southern pro vinces equally eligible to all public offices ; but the favours of the King are alleged to be re served chiefly for his old subjects. All colonial establishments and sources of commercial gain are by law equally opened to all ; but the Dutch interest predominates in the restored foreign possessions of the Crown, and Dutch enterprise or capital has engrossed the most of its foreign trade. The taxes levied on both portions of the union are nominally the same ; but the budget is alleged by the Belgians to impose burdens upon them which Holland ought exclusively to have borne. From paying the debt of the latter in particular they pleaded an exemption, as they had derived no advantage from the use of the loans by which it was created. The impolitic expenditure incurred for the reten tion and pacification of Java (which has not enjoyed an hour's peace since its restoration to its old masters) appears equally foreign to Belgic interests. The manner, too, in which the ne cessary revenue is raised, by affecting differently the provinces devoted chiefly to trade, to agricul ture, or to manufacturing industry, has main tained a source of jealousy which every discus. sion of the annual budget tends to exasperate. The land-tax seems oppressive to the Belgians, who participate little in foreign trade, while they allege that Dutch commerce does not contribute its due assistance to the public necessities. Hol land, during its most prosperous times, was al ways so heavily taxed, that its most distinguished writer tells us nothing was exempted from fiscal rapacity—agri, cedes, annonce, vestes, capita, nihil immune; and by the larger establishments rendered necessary for the protection of a more extended frontier, Belgium, which was formerly very lightly taxed, comes in for its full share of imposts, beyond even those formerly levied .on its rival. Add to these causes of dislike, the wounded pride of the Belgians, in being subjected to the sway of a sovereign sprung, from the inferior section of the king dom, instead of being allowed to make part of the " Great Nation," and their religious repugnance to the professors of a different creed, and we shall make out a tolerable cata logue of grievances, real or imaginary, which the southern provinces have accumulated against their Dutch rulers. This state of dissatisfac tion, which existed. from the formation of the kingdom, has been subsequently aggravated by several acts of oppression or impolicy. As the feeling of the Belgians has always run strongly in favour of a French connection, for which they are fitted by the general use of the French tongue, to counteract this tendency, and to unite the different sections of the kingdom by the na tional tie of a common language, the Dutch Administration issued a decree in 1819, which it renewed in 1822, ordering the employment of the national language only (that is, Dutch or Flemish) in all the acts of the authorities, in all legal proceedings, and by all persons in office. By this decree it was enacted, that after the commencement of the year 1823 no man was to receive employment in any branch of administra tion who did not or could not speak the national language,—in other words, Dutch or its Flemish cognate dialect. The Dutch are fond of mono polies, and the monopoly of language thus esta blished in their favour soon became a monopoly of place and emolument. In two or three years afterwards came the dispute between the Crown and the Catholic Church about the manner of regulating ecclesiastical education, and the inter course of the Belgic Prelates with the Court of Rome. An important ordinance was issued on the former of these subjects in 1825, which declared lecessary the authority of the civil magistrate to he erection of all institutions of education,— which established a philosophical college at Louvain, compelling all persons intended for the church to attend it before they could be admitted into the Bishops' seminaries,—and which pronounced ineligible to livings in Bel gium ecclesiastics who went abroad to pursue their theological studies. The Archbishop . of Mantles, joined by a great body of the Ultra clergy, protested against this interference with their mode of educating candidates for hoh orders, and appealed to the See of Rome for directions how to act on the emergency. It is needless to say, that the Holy See advised pas sive acquiescence in the obnoxious order. The Episcopal preparatory seminaries were therefore Phut up, the Philosophical College at Louvain was established, and threats were denounced against foreign education ; but the ferment created by these innovations was so great, that the Government college was not attended. The scheme failed. In this contest with the Belgic church, however, though the great body of the clergy and a considerable portion of the lower orders were hostile to the Government, the liberal party, the public press, the directors of public opinion, and nearly all the enlightened members of the States-General, lent it their countenance and support. It was a merit in the eyes of the latter, that the King had curbed the ultramontane tendencies of the clergy,—had resisted the parti pr&re,—had banished the missionaries, and ex- I S ili the frontiers, they •saw a bigotted Administration introducing and • cherishing those sacred nui sances, and they bleised their stars that they lived under a more enlightened Prince, though a Pro testant and Dutchman. Hence, during the whole of the administration of M. de Villele, we hear so few complaints of the sufferings of Belgium. The desire of a union with France having ceased while France was under the Jesuits and the Con gregation, the Belgians endured without mur muring their compulsory alliance with Holland. The budget was annually voted without much opposition ; internal improvements were pro jected and executed, at the common charge ; the Chambers were making rapid progress in the completim. of their code of laws, and in the adaptation of their institutions to their charter ; the periodical press, which enjoyed perfect free dom to abuse the Jesuits, found employment enough in echoing the invectives of its liberal friends in Paris against priestcraft and arbitrary power; multitudes of publications, disp!aying a freedom of political or religious discussion which could not be tolerated under the Bour bons, appeared in Brussels, and the latter city, instead of being oppressed, as now re presented, by the traders of Amsterdam, was considered one of the first as well as the 'tics; enlightened capitals of Europe. This pleasing and promising scene changed with the change of Administration in France. The Be'gians, seeing that their southern neighbours were now free, seem again to have been remind ed, that they themselves were enslaved.— Grievances which were formerly undiscover ed or unheeded, now started into promi nence, and were declared intolerable. They demanded laws for ministerial respo►►sibility ; the Liberals, who found the ordinances of 1825 perfect wisdom, now declared that their religion was oppressed ; the laws of the press, the system of education, the regulations of trade, and the distribution of imposts, were all wrong. — The Dutch majority in the States-General, under the title of Ministeriels, were denounced as more hateful to freedom and more dangerous to knowledge than the Jesuits. The legislative session of last year was extremely stormy. Some imprudent prosecutions and arbitrary proceedings on the part of the Ministry increased the tempest. Two Frenchmen, called Billet and Jador, having published what was declared a libel, were sentenced to imprisonment for a year ; and, having solicited their pardon from the King received it on condition of leaving the kingdom. This act of clemency was called an ag2ravation of the penalty, and excited great rage among their countrymen resident in Brussels and the friends of a French connexion. A puhlie writer, M. Ducpeteaux, having published a pamphlet strongly impugning the legislative proceedings respecting some articles of the Criminal Code, was likewise sentenced to a long imprisonment, and was consequently exalted into a political martyr. But the prosecution which ex cited the greatest and the mod excusable in dignation was that directed against M. de Potter, well known to many of our readers as an indefatigable and able writer on eccle siastical history—the author of the Life of Scipio de Ricci, and other valuable works. This gen tleman was sentenced to an imprisonment of 18 months, for calling, in the Courier des Pays Bas, the majority of the Second Chamber the ministoialists. The circumstance which aggra vates the injustice of these various judicial de cisions is, that they were passed—not under a law sanctioned by the legislature, but under two royal ordinances, issued in 1815 and 1818, of which the repeal was last year urgently demanded and which were actually repealed a few months after M. de Potter had been consigned to a dungeon under their au:hority. In consequence of these acts—of the alleged partiality of the Ministers towards the northern division of the kingdom—of the difficulties said to be thrown in the way of a reasonable concordat with the See of Rome—and, in short, of the general unpopularity of the Administration, tl,e Belgic members of the Second Chamber of the States- General resisted both last year and this the passing of the budget. In the present session, the laws of finance proposed by the Ministry were of more consequence than on any of the late sessions, because by the charter this is the year for discussing and continuing, or modify ing the decennial budget. In other words, the fundamental law, published in 1815, has, in one of its articles, declared that a certain por tion of the permanent establishments and per manent revenue shall be voted only every tenth year, an annual budget being passed to meet ex traordinary circumstances or temporary neces sities. On the 19th inst., the States-General having previously agreed to the estimates of expenditure, or to the supplies for this de cennial budget, thought proper in their wisdom to reject the proposition of the ways and means. The Government was, in consequence, driven to the necessity of proposing, on the 21st instant, a temporary arrangement for meeting both what are called the an nual and decennial charges. How the new project of law on the press, which is more oppressive than even the late legislation by ordinance, and the new propositions for regu lating the system of education, will be treated in the present temper of the Lower Chamber, and amid the indignation excited by the imprudent conduct of the Ministers, it would be needless now to speculate. In the legislative conflicts respecting the financial policy of the Nether lands, both now and formerly, the most striking and most ominous fact is, that we find the re presentative of the two nations who compose the Chamber nationally arrayed against each other. They have not a ministerial and oppo• , sition side of the House, a right or a left side, as in England or France, but a Dutch and Belgic side. Each national section is nearly unanimous, opposed to its unanimous national antagonises. There is no fusion of parties, no desertion of sides, no change of place by the prevalence of private interest over provincial predilections. The Members even speak their separate languages, Dutch or French, to make their national votes wear their national colours. As their numbers are nearly equal, so is often their suffrages. " In supposing," said M. Reyphius, a Belgian, in 1822, " that the affirmative vote's prove that all the population c f the old United Provinces (Holland) desires the new system of imports, the same proof of the aversion of the Belgian provinces results from the unanimity of our negative votes. If there had been any amalgamation, the majority, how ever feeble, would have presented a force in favour of the triumphant opinion, hut a schism so complete allows us only to see on one side an imperious will, always formidable for those who exercise it ; on the otl e a boundless submission of which we give the first example." The IJw :o which he alludes passed by a majority o to 51; only two of the former being Belgians,

- and one of the latter Hollanders - . The same . : phenomenon was exhibited last year, and ha , been displayed' in the present Session whenever a question has occurred calculated to call forth a national feeling. Last year the budget was passed by a majority of 53 to 31, all the Bel Nlembers but fbur voted against it, and al the Dutch but two voting in its support. On another occasion last Session, we find the num. hers 59 to 50, only three Dutchmen being in the latter, and two Belgians in the former. The decennial Budget of Ways and Means was re jetted on the 19th inst. by a majority of 55 to 53, the former being Belgians, with the excep tion of two or th ree , an d the latter Hollanders. The fat ts which we have thus stated, and which, if we had room, we could support and explain by a more extensive reference to the proceedings of the last two years, are of great importance, taken in connexion with the avowed projects of a party in France, whose feelings and wishes, and political morality,—whose taste for round ing boundaries, and whose fresh recollections of the empire, have been lately so unblushingly dis dosed by Count Richemont, a General in the French army, and a Member of the Chakiber of Deputies.—Times. A small volume has just been put into our hands, entitled " Political Fragments, by Ro bert Forsyth, Esq, Advocate." Mr. Forsyth is a barrister of long standing and great practice in Scotland, and his evidence before the Parliamen tary Commissioners appointed to inquire into the proceedings of the Courts of Law in that country, appeared to us, at the time, to be the very best that was given. The present volume contains many views well deserving of attention, while, at the same time, on many points his opi nions appear to us erroneous, and, indeed, ex travagant. Bayle, on his ingenious work on Comet,i, laboured to show that the actions of men were in no ways influenced by their specu lative opinions. Mr. Forsyth goes to the other extreme ; for, perceiving in an infallible Church what ft; W men who, with unbiassed minds, in quire seriously into the subject perceive—a prin ciple involving a prostration of the intellect, and it subjection to a degrading mental despotism— he seems to conclude that there must necessarily be a harmony between the speculative principles and practices of Catholics. He is one of those whose apprehensions of danger from Popery are as vivid as ever, precisely because they were not swigested by interested motives. We are no Meat admirers of Popery, any more than Mr. For syth, but we do not perceive that the act of jus tice whieth has been done to the Catholics at all a dds to our danger of subjugation by the Pope and the Jesuits. Mr. Forsyth's volume is a collec tion of essays or fragments on the mercantile distress, smuggling, national debt, income tax, Popery, foreign policy, and Catholic rent. I . „ . his essav on our foreign policy, he observes— that " since the Peace, we have somehow been losing character on all sides ; nations attempting to establish liberal institutions naturally looking to thitain, the land of freedom, for sympathy and aid. But the Neapolitan Patriots, the Spanish Cortes, and the Portuguese Constitu tionalists looked to us in vain. The party of the Apostolicals in Europe, that is, the Catholic Ckirch, were allowed to trample down every man, mid every body of men, that favoured liberal institutions. The excuse was, one nation oufht not to interfere in the internal affairs of :Another. But where was that principle at the date of the Treaty of Pilnitz, when the com bined Monarchs of Europe conspired to divide France, as Poland had been divided, and when Britain subsequently became a party to those proceedings, for which the European nations sufficiently suffered ? Nay, where was that principle when we allowed the Duc d'An gouieme to march into Spain against the Certise, at the head of a French army ? This he would not have dared to do in the face of serious opposition to Britain." No man of sense could ever have supposed it practicable under a Constitution which gives the Govern ment to an Oligarchy, that there could be any Teal sympathy with the partizans of Democracy t ahe Continent. The nations attempting to establith liberal institutions, who, looked to Bri tain, were of course very ignorant both of the natoTe of our institutions as modified by practice, and of ::story. Mr. Forsyth must have a very imperfect recollection of the times when the foreign patriots endeavoueed to give liberal insti tutions to their countrymen, if he does not know that the persons who were most alarmed lately for our Protestant Constitution, were the very pecans who were most alarmed then for the safety of the Catholic Church in Spain, Portugal, and Italy; or, at least, of that part of the Church which is viewed as the only essential part by churchmen of all creeds—the revenues. Mr.l Feeeyth supposes that our Protestant Consti tution has been destroyed, in order to give confidence to the French King and the Apos 'once's, in their struggle to put down the Liberals. " Thus (he says) has the Bourbon become disposed to lean upon Britain, which stood by him with such pereeverance in his ad sersi:y. But there was one obstacle to a per fect union awl confidence between the two Ca binets. The Jesuits, or high Catholics, styled the party of the Apc4olicals, rule the French Court and the old Royalist:e. How could full confidence exist between that Jesnit Govern ment and a Protestant Government, alleged to act illiberally and oppressively towards the Irish Catholics ? What I am now to say is irresisti bly suggested by the juxta.poeition of events. Immediately after the British Protestant Con stitution was destroyed, the French King yen lured to dismiss his Ministers, a body avowedly favourable to liberal ir)stitutions. Have we, in order to gain an ascendancy in the French Councils, encouraged the Bourbon to lean upon she party of the Apostolical at home, and upon Dritein abroad, and to set at defiance the French popular party ? Have we, further to cement the union of France and Britain, given way to the Irish Catholics, in order thereby to purehase the confidence of the Roman Catholic Priest hood ?" How far our Government may now lie abetting the French Government in its at tempts against the liberties of the country we have no means of knowing. The French Papers allude to Notes which have passed lately on this subject between the two Governments ; and M. Dupin, in his speech for the Journal des Debats, spoke cf Secret Notes. But we think we can say that the concession of the Catholic Claims was no more granted to please the Apo stolicals than to please the worshippers of Bujiha. There is much good sense in what Mr. Forsyth says with regard to the means to be adopted to wards Ireland : " Britain has now (he says) to defend itself against a most imminent evil from Ireland. The Irish cottages, chiefly the Catholic cottages, pour out annually an immense population destitute of bread, of education, and consequently of morals.— These, from necessity, hasten to Great Britain in vest of food. They are constrained to accept of the meanest wages that will support life. The) become the tival of the British common people it all agricultural and manufacturing labour. Thus they reddce our own common people to utter mi sery, deprive them of the menus of educating their children, and fill the land with wretchedness and ignorance. • • • • • " Establish Poor Laws. This is an act of jus tice to Britain. We ought not to be required tr support the Irish poor. This is a point so clear as to require no illustration. The effect of it will be to induce the Irish landholders to depart from tht Cottage System, by which the country i s ov er peopl e d. • • • • • • • " The Irish landholders would, perhaps, oppose the measure, hut the nature of their opposition would be too grossly unjustifiable to stand in need of being exposed. To do any good, it is absolutely nu_ t..- sary that the Irish landholders shall be compelled L. support the poor reared in that country. • • • • • 0 " A correct administration of justice ought to br established, by establishing Courts in every District, similar to the Courts in Scotland of the Sheriffs and their Substitutes. Professional tnen ought to act as JudgPs, with suitable salaries. Unless justice be ac cessible and impartially administered, Ireland cannot prosper. This also is clear. ♦ • • • • • " Every proprietor ought to have it i n hi s p ower to obtain his tithes to be valued, and to be liable only for the valuation so fixed. The improvement of latiA will be thereby highly promoted, and the populaiity of the national clergy increased, or, at least, a great source of hostility against them will be removed. " The Elective Franchise in counties ought to be plAced on a new footing. • a • • • • " Of those who have attained to mature years, a shoe-maker, or other tradesman, resident in Edin burgh or Glasgow, who eats the Marquis of Staf ford's, or the Duke of Argyll's, or the Duke of Gor don's beef or mutton, and pays for it, he may vote at an election, because he is independent. But ware he merely a tenant of a bit of ground, yield ing an alleged annual profit of ten pounds on the estate of any of these Noblemen, it is clear that he must vote as directed by the factor for his Grace or his Lordship; because he cannot sup port and educate a family on such a pittance, and must depend on the great man or his rela tions for bread. He must vote as directed or leave the estate, and emigrate some twenty or thirty miles, which to him is equivalent to exile. To give that poor man a vote, therefore, is just compel ling him to become criminal, by vo:ing into power somebody of whom he knows nothing, or whom he knows, perhaps, to be destitute of principle of any sort, moral or religious, or even perhaps of common honesty. . . . . . Tenure as tenant is radi cally bad; because inferring dependence, or at least ];ability to incur debts to the proprietor, who has I thereby the means of destroying the independence of his tenant. " It is impossiide to protect the population of Britain against the influx of Irish paupers, unless the change now suggested be made upon the elective franchise. Irish landlords will still be tempted to augment their political influence by a pernicious cot tage eystern, which cottages wil! continue to throw out swarms of paupers tc invade us. The qualifi cation in Irish counties is still inadequate for our protection. It is only in a town or city that an ordi nary tradesman can be independent. " Parish Schools ought to be tstablished on the Scottish footing. • •••110 " Lastly, for a time, support a strong military police over the country.

This day ends the year. We leave to Moral ists and Divines the task of offering to their readers and their hearers such reflections as this important epocha in the division of time natu- rally suggests. In a political point of view, the people of this country may be well justified in parodying the words of the poet, and Boldly venture on a year unknown— It cannot use them worse than this has done. The winter of 1825, known as the Bubble era, was productive of prodigious misery and dis tress, but such as bears no comparison, either in extent or acuteness, with that which nearly the whole community is now experiencing. Never, we believe, was there a period within the me mory of any man living, when wretchedness and sorrow—when actual want and starvation, visited so many habitations in England as biting ca lamity has now reached. And what is most ex traordinary of all is, that this melancholy state of things is not attributable to natural causes. Providence has been bountiful to our soil—skill and enterprise were never so rife to turn tl:e riches of nature and of art to our advantage. But, by a strange perversity, a new species of " wisdom" has been allowed to break in upon our career of success and good fortune, and turn to our ruin and discomfiture the very ele- ments of our individual and national prosperity. We 370 in the state of a country in which irri gation has heretofore produced fertility, but from which the waters have been diverted or stopped up. Can such a state of things as the present last ? is the question in every one's mouth. It may bp asked, with equal reason, Why it has been pewmittpd to last so long ? We answer both questions by saying that, till the people make themselves heard, very Tittle 4lteration seems likely to take place. This year a whole Parliamentary Session was exhausted on one topic ; and it the next we sadly fear that the tone of postponement will be resumed, unless the public voice, i❑ accents of b4t peace able and respectful remonstrance, sounds itt the cars gf the Legislature and the Government the awful truths a opr situation, and the necessity of immediate redress. Wg are ourselves no alarmists. We have no wish to Impede or harass those who have the charge of public affairs; but if thgy sleep, as they appear to do, we must en deavour to awaken them, that they may not, like Sardanapalus, dream of 024 sure upon a " bed of roses" while calamity overshadows all LW in terests of the empire.—Morning Herald.

Charles Sherwood, a working upholsterer, was brought up for re-examination, charged with obtain mg a quantity of fringe from Messrs. Hutton, Le pines, and Co., in the name of Messrs. Warlter% and Co, auctioneers, Farringdon•street, nearly threw years after he had been discharged from their service. The prisoner declined making any defence, and was committed for trial. MA RLBOROU G H-STRE ET. Yesterday William Maling, William Adams, Agnes Smith, and .Mtiy Maling, four prisoner's, who were in custody, charged with being concerned in the following- audacious robbery, were brought before Mr. De - ree, the sitting Magistrate, for final examination. At the commencement of the proceedings, which occupied the Magistrate until a late hour, Mr. DYER, as well as those concerned in the prosecu tion, being satisfied that the two female prisoners were not implicated in the guilt of the transaction, they were discharged, and being removed from the bar, they were admitted as witnesses against their two male companions. The first witness was Mrs. Elizabeth Musgrave, a maiden lady, residing at No. 27, Green-streer, Perk-lane, who deposed that on Thursday last, the eve of Christmas-day, she was spending the evening from home, having left her housekeeper, Agnes Smith, and two other servants, in charge of the house, and about ten o'clock the same night a mes sage was brought to her that her house had been robbed in her . absence ; on which she immediately returned home, and found that a great quantity of plate and other articles had been carried off. The articles now produced, consisting of several dozens of silver forks and spoons, silver-handled knives, cream-ewers, gold and silver spectacles, ear-rings, necklaces, gold and silver pencil-cases, &c., were the property so stolen, and belonged to her, the whole being worth about 150/. Part of these articles were taken from the drawing-:oo►n, and the rest from a cupboard in her bed-room. The prisoner Adams had been, for about 12 months, a footman in her service, but quitted in August last; but of the pri soner Maling she knew nothing. Agnes Smith was housekeeper in the service of Mrs. Musgrave, and knew the ;prisoner Adams as having lived once in the same service. On Thursday evening last, about nine o'clock, Adam!, who was in the habit of calling occasionally at the house since he had quitted the service, came down into the kitchen, arid proposed to treat the witness and the other servent with something to drink, and ask ing for a bottle lie went out, and soon after returned with some' gin : he rang the street-door bell, and witness let him in, arid wit:real supposed that lie had shut the door after he had entered : they set awhile in the kitchen drinking the gi❑ and:playing at a game of cards, w hen witness said she could not play any longer, as she had some needle-work to do, which she immediately set about, and while at this work she heard a bustling noise in front of the street door, and shortly after she heard the door slammed to. She instantly became alarmed, as she knew there was no one belonging to the place in the upper part of the house, and asking Adams to go with her, which he did, she went up to the parlour, where she found all safe, as she did the other parts of the house, until she came to her mistress's bed-room, where she clearly saw that a robbery had been com mitted, upon which she told Adams to call in the po lice, which he (lid. William Bond, one of the new police-men, was called into the house by Adam, and on hearing the circumstances connected with the robbery, he de tained all the parties in the house until his in. spector, for whom he sent, arrived, and he also sent for Mrs. Musgrave, having learned where she was spending the evening. The chisel produced the witness found, he said, under the bed in Mrs. Mus grave's room, and it appeared to be the instrument with which the cupboard was forced open. Benjamin Bates, a Police Inspector, was sent for by the last witness, and on his arrival at Mrs. Mus grave's house, and learning the circumstances of the robbery, as already stated, he ordered all the parties who were in the house at the time to be conveyed to the watch-house, and the next morning the pri soner Attains, without threat or" inducement, ac knowledged to witness that the robbery had been planned by himself and a man named Wm. Milling; that he ( Adams) admitted Maling into the house when he went for the gin, and that Mating had carried off all the property in a hand-basket, and if not finally disposed of, he had no doubt the whole of the property would be found at the house of a man named Appleyard, in Prince's-row, Lambeth; and he declared that the two females were quite innocent of all knowledge of the robbery. The witness here handed in a statement to the above effect, voluntarily written down in his presence, and signed by Adams. Witness, accompanied by other officers, went next, he said, in search of Maling, and after some difficulties, found him at his lodging, No 12, Rochester-row, Lambeth; but he denied all knowledge of the robbery. Soon after he was taken into custody, however, he asked permission to write a note, which he wished to have forwarded to Adams. Witness here produced the note, which went to caution Adams how he said any thing against him (Milling); that he had already tallied too much, and more than was true; and concluded with saying, that if he (Adams) wished to be trans poi ted, he (Maling) did not. The witness went on to state, that he next proceeded with Clements, another officer, to the house of Appleynrd, a car penter, in Prince's-row, arid inquired for Maling, but no such person was known there by that name; but the persons of the house said that a man named Warren, who answered the descriptiion given of Maling, called there sometimes, and had left a chest of tools in the house. WitiseSs on being shown this chest of tools, broke it open, and there, in a hand basket., found the whole of Mrs. Musgrave's pro party now produced, Clements, the other constable, confirmed the evi• dcrice of the last witness as to the finding of the plate, &c. William Church, a police constable, about nine o'clock on the night of the robbery saw the pri soner Milling "rasa twice through Green-street while the witness was on duty, and the last time he passed it was close to Mr. Musgrave's. house, and be went towards Park-lane. Mary Mating saw nothing of her brother the whole of Thursday, or on that night. Adams called on her that evening, and took her with him to Mrs. Musgrave's to pass the evening with the servants, where he said he himself was going; but he said not a word about having seen her brother. This L;;I;;g tlte whole of the evidence, the Magi. strates asked the prisoners if they wished to say any thing? Adams had nothing to add to what he had told Inspector Bates, which was the truth. Maling said that it was of no use for hint to say any thing, and he would therefore be silent. Both prisoners were then fully committed for trial. The Earl of Be lgrave, and a number of other householders at the west end of the town, were tined ss. each for rot having the footway in front of their houses cleared of the frozen snow at a proper hour in the morning. QPEEN-SQUARE. The person who styled himself the non, Henry Turner Harring,lon, who was committed by Mr. MAttatove horn this office for stealing four gold rings, Sze., from the apartments pf 4 Aliss Louisa Gough, in Sovereign-street, Edgeware,roaq, has been discovered to be the same person who some months ago was brought to this ogee, charged by a Miss Vilrnot, who occupied apartments in a street leading into the Edgevare-read, with stealing a valuable snuff-box out of her room. On that oc casion he gave his name Mr. Samuel Lyons, and was given in charge by the prosecutrix, who is a frequenter of the saloons, as she was leaving the English Opera-house. 4 long examination took place before Mr. GREGoilis, when the prisoner pleaded In hie defence that Miss Wilmot had a va luable flute of his in her possession, and on giving up the property the prosecutrix declined further pro ceedings, and he was discharged. The names of Lyons and Harrington are both assumed. UNION-HALL Yesterday two individuals, who gave their name, George Frederick Seymour and Thomas Junk, were brought isp in custody from the county gaol, vi here they had been incarcerated since the preceding morning, charged on the oath of Robert Hedger, Esq., Chairman of the Surrey Quarter Session, on suspicion of having committed felony. The peculiarity of the circumstances attending the case attracted a crowd of persons to the office, and besides Mr. SWABIA', who presided on the occasion, there were also present Mr. CHAMBERS, Mr. HONE, and Mr. PUCKLES. The prisoners, on their appre hension, which took place on Monday night, were conveyed to the watch-house at Clapham, and from thence on the following morning to the residence of Mr. Puckles, close to the spot ; and that gentleman on hearing an outline of the circumstances detailed against the accused, committed them for re-exami nation to the gaol, from whence they were brought up to this office yesterday morning and placed at the bar. They are both tall and rather fine-looking men, particularly the one who described his name to be Seymour. Both were wrapped in blue cloth roquelaures, which concealed their dress underneath . Mr. Harmer attended on the part of the accused, and previous to ttie examination of any witnesses complained of the hardship inflicted on his clients, who were both highly respectable men, in being placed in ench a situation, on such a charge, for which their was not the slightest grounds. He ad mitted that his clients had acted with a great deal of folly on Monday night, but their intention was no more to commit robbery than it was his ; they had merely gone to Stockwell on the night in question for the purpose of an amour, and securing the flight of a young lady, who had been smitten with one of them. Mr. Hedger was then sworn, and he deposed, that on his return home to Stockwell from Kingston, where he attended as one of the grand jury at the assizes, on Monday evening, about half -past six o'clock, he was informed by a watchman, who stood near his gate, that two suspicious -looking persons had been for some time lurking about the place, adding, that he believed their intention was either to waylay him, or to break into his premises. Upon this information, Mr. Hedger desired the watchman to point cut the suspected parties ; and the words hail been scarcely uttered, when two tall men came along together up a new road at the aide of Ir. Hedger's garden, and through which there is no thoroughfare. The men weie both wrapped up in cloaks, and appeared desirous of concealing them selves from observation, and walked with quick and hurried steps into the Clapham-road, on gaining which they separated. The moment Mr. Hedger found their intention was to elude notice, he run forward and seized the individual who represented his name to be Seymour, while the watchman se cured the ether person, named Junk, and they were forthwith conveyed to the watch•house at Clapham, where, on searching the latter individual, a curiously constructed portable ladder, together with a loaded pistol, were found concealed underneath his cloak. On the person of the other were found 37 sove reigns, besides several letters, many of them written in a female hand, directed to " Mr. Seymour," and couched in the language of a lady deeply enamoured with the person to whom they were addressed.— Upon both the accused were found watches.— In answer to the interrogatories put to them the next morning, when taken before Mr. Puckles, the Magistrate, they gave such a confused account of themselves, and appeared so ex• tremely anxious to conceal either their real names or , the motives that induced them to be lurking about Mr. Hedger's premises under such circumstances, that left that gentleman no other alternative than that which he adopted—namely, making oath that he believed, from the facts of a loaded pistol and a bidder being found in their possession, together with a large sum of money, they either had committed felony, or intended to make the attempt on the night in question. Mr. Hedger then stated a fact which he considered still strengthened the suspi cions entertained against the accused. A day or two before the circumstances just explained had taken place, he received an anonymous letter, stating that bit house was to be broken into and robbed at a cettain hour on Monday night, and describing the persons and dress of the two men who were to effect the burglary. Mr. Hedger remarked that he never placed much confidence in anonymous communica tions ; but, in order to guard against the worst, as he waq about to leave town for Kingston, he re quested his brother-in-law to remain at his house until his return, and to prepare himself with fire arms in the event of any attempt being made to enter the premises. At the ♦ery time mentioned in the letter alluded to, the accused made their appear ance close to his house, and the description given of the dress exactly corresponded with that in which they notv appeared. Mr. SWABEY here perused the letter alluded to, which stated that one of the two men who were en gaged in the affair would appear in the dress of a Mr. Hedger—Let the person who says his name s Junk throw aside his cloak, and then will be seen the dress he wears. The individual named immediately unhooked the clasp of his cloak, and on pulling it off appeared in a sailor's blue jacket and trousers. Mr. Harmer did not mean to palliate the conduct of either of the young men on the occasion ; but in the possession of one of them were found letters which would explain the whole business, and satis factotily demonstrate tbat the intention on the night in question was to facilitate the escape of a lady, who corresponded with Mr. Seymour, and who had written a letter to that gentleman, describing that she was then on a visit at Mr. Hedger's house, along with her mother, and imploring him to avail himself of the golden opportunity that then presented itself of an elopement together. Mr. Harmer said that it would be perceived by the lady's letter to Mr. Sey mour, that she had instructed him in the best mode of accomplishing her escape from the house where she was on a visit, beseeching him, above all things, to bring a ladder with him in order to scale the garden wall, and also to have a glass-coach in readi ness to whip her off and elude pursuit. The letter then went on to state, that Mr. Hedger had slipped down, owing to the ftoit, and injured his leg, from which accident he was suffering under lameness, and that would render it (very luckily for them) more difficult for that gentleman to join in the pursuit that was likely to commence after her sudden departure came to be Ithown, Mr. SwABEY having expressed a wish to hear what account the gentleman, left in the care of Mr. Hedger's house during his absence gave of the affair, the witness very shortly stated, that being apprized of the anonymous communication alluded to, he armed himself with a brace of loaded pistols, and waited very patiently until the hour arrived, at which it was represented the thieves were to make the attempt on the house. While on the watch, he observed two men pass in front of the house, muffled up in cloaks. They stopped for a short pe riod at the gate leading up to the front court, and then turned round the coiner, and went down the road 11 the side of the house, and remained there some time. Witness was concealed from their view, end after having eine them pass along the Farden wall, he afterwards observed them reconnoitr►ng about the place, and when they separated they kept up a kind of signal, by answering each other's whistle. From their conduct altogether, he believed them to have an evil design on the house; and had be seen either of them place the ladder against mr. Hedger's garden wall, arid attempt to get over it, he would most assuredly have fired at them. He did not, however, see them make the attempt, and while they were lurking about, Mr. Hedger pat er- lived from Kingston, and both the suspected per sons were secured in the manner already described. The two watchmen deposed to a similar effect, adding that their belief was that the accused persons intended to " crack a crib" (break into a house) on the night in question. Mr. SIYABET then inquired of Mr. Hedger whe ther there was any young lady on a visit at his house that was likely to have written such an epistle as that he had just read ? Mr. Hedger—There is no lady on a visit at my house, neither has there been for some length of time; there is no person at home except my wife and my daughter, a little girl, and the servants.— " These facts show," added Mr. Hedger, " that it was not after a lady they came lurking about my house." Mr. SWABET asked Mr. Hedger, whether, after having read the letter, which was produced by the person who called himself Seymour, he was still im pressed with an opinion that the intention of the parties was to enter his house ? Mr. Hedger, with emphasis, declared that he still believed that to hay. been their object, parti cularly as they had refused to give their real names and address. Mr. Seymour regretted such an erroneous opinion had been formed of his and his friend's intention on this occasion. The fact was, a lady, who described herself to be possessed of considerable property, had formed a❑ attachment for him, as her letters would prove. In their epistolary correspondence she stated her wish to elope with him on Monday, and having expressed such a wish on her part, he procured the ladder and other apparatus to aid and facilitate th•! escape from Mr. Hedger's house, where she de scribed she was then on a visit. lie went there accordingly at the time she mentioned, accompanied by his friend, but on their arrival perceiving they were observed by the watchman, they did not make the attempt, otherwise it was their intention to have placed the ladder against the wall, and to get over into the garden, where they expected the lady would be waiting in order to elope. He declared that his account of the affair was true in every re spect, and trusted that after this explanation he sad his friend would be exonerated from the impu tation of being there with intent to commit felony. He added, that he was not aware that his friend had a loaded pistol in► his possession until it was taken from him at the watch-house. The individual who described his name to be Junk said, that he had accompanied his friend to assist in the elopement, and that he had not only given orders for the ladder they were to make use of on the occa sion, but he had also procured a coach for the flight of the young lady after he had assisted in getting her over the wall, and conveying her safely into the arms of her intended husband. Mr. Junk then went on to state that he had perused the letters written by the young lady to his friend, all of which breathed the most pure and devoted attachment. Most of the epistles were dated from Mr. Hedger's residence, where the writer represented she was then on a visit. Out of pure compassion for both parties he interested himself on the occasion, and previous to his having accompanied his friend on Monday night, he made inquiries all over Kennington,Stock well, and Clapham, to ascertain something about the lady who professed herself so enamoured of his friend ; he, how ever, could hear nothing, and believing the letters to be the genuine effusions of a heart devoted to love and constancy for his friend, on those conside- rations he accompanied hint to the scene of action, where they had not been long before they were apprehended as robbers, and taken to the watch• house. Mr. SWABLY said, that it was a remarkable cit. cumstance that the dresses of the accused should have been so accurately described in the anonymous letter. Mr. Harmer then called a gentleman named Ro bins, who described himself to Lave been formerly a silversmith. This gentleman stated that he knew both the accused persons, who were highly respect able, and was convinced that they had gone to Stockwell for the purpose they had mentioned. On Monday morning he had given Mr. Seymour 401. for a cheque which that gentleman:had drawn on his banker at Shaftesbury, in Dorsetshire. He was ::ware that Mr. Seymour had been for some time past carrying en an epistolatory correspondence with some lady in the Clapham-road, and that it was their intention to elope when an opportunity pre sented itself. In fact, said the witness, he spoke to me about recommending a mantua-maker to make dresses for his intended wife. As for Mr. Junk, (said the witness,) I have known him since he was nine years of age, and he now lives with his mother, who is independent ; and he is a most respectable young man I can declare. The accused were ac• cordingly remanded. COUNTY OF LIMERICK ELECTION. Sir Aubrey de Vere Hunt, Bart., of Curragh, who is spoken of as one of the candidates for the vacancy in the rerrosentation of the county, occa sioned by the decease of Mr. Lloyd, of Breech mount, the late Member, appeared in the same character at the general election in 1820, when the present Earl of Dunraven, at that period the Hon. Wyndham Henry Wyndham Quin, who had been returned to Parliament for the county in 1818, in conjunction with the Hon. Colonel Fitzgibbon, brother of Lord Clare, declined offering himself again to the notice of the freeholders, and, indeed, had his Lordship succeeded in being re-elected, he would only have enjoyed the distinguished honour until 1824, when by the death of his father (the late Lord Dunraven) he succeeded to the Irish Peerage, which disqualified him from sitting in the House of Commons, as an Irish county Member. On the Earl's retirement, Colonel Fitzgibbon (the former Member), Captain (now Lieut.-Colonel Standish O'Grady,) Sir Arthur de Vere Hunt, and Mr. 'Walter O'Grady, announced their intention of proceeding to the poll. A protracted and expensive contest accordingly ensued, but from the commence ment Colonel Fitzgibbon's return was considered secure, and the struggle lay therefore between the other candidates. Sir Aubrey's friends made ex traordinary exertions to ensure his election, but he was, nevertheless, one'of the unsuccessful candidates, Captain O'Grady, at the final close of the poll, her ing a majority of 409 over the Baronet; the num bers being as follow : Hon. Colonel Fitzgibbon 4061 Captain O'Grady 3251 Sir A. D. Hunt 2842 Mr. W. O'Grady 1878 At the general election in 1826 Captain O'Grady retired, and Mr. Lloyd, of Beechmount, the late re presentative, was .returned in his room, Colonel Fitzgibbon, the present sitting Member, being re elected without opposition, Sir Aubrey not solic►ting the suffrages of the freeholders upon that occas►on. The worthy Baronet, however, who seems resolved on obtainistg a seat in the Honourable House, has started as a candidate for the representation of the county, in opposition to Mr. Serjeant Goold, of the Irish Bar, and Mr. O'Grady (son of the Lord Chief Baron), who, it appears, have also entered the electioneering lists. Sir Aubrey has the repu tation of possessing considerable intellectual acquire ments, and the name of the Hon. Baronet figures in the list of contributors to one of the Annuals for the ensuing year. Sir Aubrey is otherwise known in the literary circles, as the author of a dramatic poem, entitled " Julian" published within the last twelve months, iiirpwßEcic.—By a letter received yesterday we learn that a foreign galliott is wrecked, and on shore on the Lougaand, near Boston. She is laden with timber and pipe staves, and her stern is completely out, so that her name cannot be learned. The crew are supposed to hake gone of, and abandoned her, but their fate is as yet a matter of mystet y. It seems they took their clothes with them, for all the chests were open and empty. Where the vessel is from, or bound to, has not been asoertsined.— Boston Gazette. COURTS AND SESSIONS APPOIN FOR 1930.

THE very numerous and continued visits 11. with which so many of the NOBILITY and GENTRY have honoured the " EMPORIUM" have rendered that Magazin des Modes universally proverbial, not only for its FASHIONABLE ASSORTMENTS and variety of SPLENDID ARTICLES, but also for its un paralleled cheapness and undeviating adherence to the prices advertised or affixed ; the latter circumstances, so rare in the present manceuvering days (originating from Adver tisements published solely for the obvious purpose of in viting and alluring the Public, without the intention or even the means of supplying the articles at the specified prices), whereby some of the truly national and beneficial objects of " subverting nefarious and demoralizing systems" are embraced, as the distinguished patronage already con ferred upon those endeavours demonstratively prows, awl is most conclusive of its pre-eminent and envied superio rity, thereby rendering. any thing beyond the respectful and grateful acknowledgments of t' - e Proprietors almost suiserfluous ; but notwithstanding Messrs.

On Sunday last, a Sermon was preached at the Parish Church of St. Martin in the Fields, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of BATH and Nirxx.Ls, for the benefit of the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear. His Lordship delivered an excellent discourse on the bene ficial effects of the Charity, the benevolent views of which are not confined to the inhabitants of the metropolis, but extend to every individual. Since its establishment in 1816, upwards of 7,950 patients have been admitted, 3,120 cured, and 2,330 relieved, including many cases of Deaf and Dumb, for perhaps, it is not generally known that follows. After the sermon, several Deaf an d Dumb when Deafness occurs in early infancy, D um b ness a lways Chil dren, who had obtained their hearing and speech by the means employed at the Dispensary, presented themselves at the vestry, accompanied by their parent.. Mr. Crayfer presented accounts of Wool, Corn, &c., imported for the last year. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved that certain persons be allowed to attend the Select Committee, to give evidence in the Coal Trade of London. Lord ROSSLYN moved that the Duke of Newcastle Lind Lord Rolle be permitted to enter their Protest, as Dis sentients on the Second Reading of the Bill for the Relief of the Roman Catholics, before two o'clock to-morrow. The Marquis of ANGLESEA had several petitions, some against clauses in the Bill for relieving the Catholics, some referring to the conduct of an individual in the other House, and all generally against the Disfranchisement Bill. The Noble Marquis felt he should he eeonomizing the time of their Lordships if, at the present _moment, he was permitted to say a few words with . respect to these petitions ; having stated his opinion, he thought it would be better that he should say nothing on the petitions afterwards. First, he did not believe the Bill would alter the situation of the clergy of Ireland, he should therefore wish the clause in that respect to be ex punged altogether. Then, as to an individual, who had i t in "'le: Asper to create inconvenience, that person had nothing to do but to go up to the other House and refuse to take the oath, though the Noble Marquis under stood he had no intention of doing so, and their Lord ships might then be amused with another Clare election. Then, as to the Jesuits, they were, in his opinion, a very useful body in the instruction of youth. He trusted they would not be suppressed, and that the young men of Ireland will still have the advantage of their instruction, but not be Jesuits. Another part of greater importance than any was the disfranchising of the forty-shillin g freeholders. Was it necessary that 480,000 freeholders should be deprived of their vested rights on ac count of the vices of the system ? The system might be amended like other systems. This was his feeling. It appeared that the forty-shilling fieeholders had been approved of—as long as they submitted to be driven up to the hustings like a flock of sheep to the shambles, no complaints were made. The system was then suffered to go on ; but the moment the people found out the value of their rights, and exerted them in a constitutional though an inconvenient way, that moment show rights were to be swept out of political existence. Having said thus much, he would invite the Ministers of the Crown to reconsider the ob noxiens clauses; he hoped that they might yet be omitted, and that the Bill might not be pressed forward against the forty-shilling freeholders. The system might be practi cally inconvenient ; and though it might require amend • anent, it was not therefore necessary that the franchise should be abolished. Notwithstanding the objections he had stated to these clauses, and to the Bill for disfranchising the forty-shilling freeholders, it was not his intention, as he did not consider them of paramount importance, to do any thing to impede the progress of the great and impor tant measure, which he conscientiously believed was ne cessary to the prosperity, if not to the safety of the em pire. Having stated his objections, and his determination not to take part in the proceedings at any future stage of the Bill, unless by giving his silent rote, the Noble Mar quis concluded by presenting a petition from the Roman Catholics of the city of Waterford, against the clause in the Catholic Relief Bill relating to the religious orders. IThe Marquis of LONDONDERRY was anxious to say a few words in relation to the Bill that was read a second time on Saturday, on several accounts. As he understood that Bill, it was to settle the question defini tively; but if it hail contained any securitis, any restric tions, they would have been left as a legacy to the suc cessors of the Noble Duke, who would have to make other concessions. He had hoped the Catholic Clergy would have been provided for—and he believed they would wil lingly accept a provision that would have connected them with the State, and would have given both the Govern ment and the Church the best security they could have. The Noble Marquis read some passages, but whether they were parts of a speech or of a letter we could not tell, in support of his opinion. He believed, if the mea sure of relief had been carried at the Union with Ireland, it would have been better for the two countries ; but it was not in the power of the Ministers then to accomplish it—it was reserved for that Illustrious Individual who had been able to bring the people to that decision which bad been shewn by the votes of their representatives, and who had been able to guide their Lordships to that conclusion they had come to by so large a majority on Saturday even ing. He could have wished, and he believed that this was the general opinion in Ireland, that the qualification had been raised to 151. or 201. His Lordship also objected to the power given to the Assistant Barristers under the Disfranchisement Bill, and he said he hoped that Ministers would take care of the landed interest which was involved by the power given under the Bill to the Assistant Barrister. The Noble Marquis then ad verted to the disturbances which bad existed in Ire land during the last year, which he said had been, he thought, partly caused by the countenance some of the members of the Catholic Association had received at the Castle, which, without its being so intended, had the effect of making the people of the North of Ireland suppose that there was a degree of undue partiality shewn to the Catho lics. The Noble Marquis concluded a speech that was very imperfectly heard below the bar, in consequence of there being much conversation within the bar, by com plimenting the Duke of Wellington, and by complimenting the Noble Lords on the cross benches, who, though they were now opposed to him, had formerly been united with him, and had guided the country through many difficulties. The Marquis of ANGLESEA presented two other peti tions from the county of Louth against the Disfranchise ment Bill. Lord CARBERY was astonished at the ingratitude of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. At the very moment that they were receiving the boon they had so long asked for, they came forward to petitio n th at t h ey m i g h t reta i n t h e power to do mischief. Ile felt their ingratitude, and could not help expressing his indignation. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE defended the Roman Catholics. The Marquis of ANGLESEA presented the remainder of his petitions—in all seventeen—on the different subjects he had mentioned in his speech —some of them also being against the Vestry Act. Viscount CLUDENpresnrited a petition from the Secu lar Clergy of the Diocese of Ferns, and a second petition from some place in Ireland, against the Clauses of the Re lief Bill that relate to the Jesuits. Earl GREY presented a petition from Wellingborough, in favour of the Catholics; and a petition from Mr. George Ensor, against the Disfranchisement Bill, which, the Noble Etrl said, was well worthy of their Lordships' at tention, as it was well drawn up, and proved that the in dividual, whom be did not know, was a person of consider able intelligence, and stated his argument in a forcible manner. Lord MANSFIELD did not think it generally proper, in presenting a petition, to discuss the subject to which the petition referred. But at the same time he thought it right to do so on the present occasion, if the petitioner prayed to be heard by counsel. Earl GREY stated, that the petitioner did not prey to be heard by counsel. The petition was then laid on the table. Methodists in S out h war k , Lord FARNHAM presente d a pet i t i on aga i n st conces sion to the C a th o li cs , f rom a congrega ti o n of W e sl e y an signed Rey 556 persons; and he understood that thi s was to b e f o ll owe d by p e titions to th e same effect from all th: , congregations of Wesleyan Metho dists in London. fits Lordship presented a petition to the same effect from the Mayor, Sheriff, and Citizens of the Corporation of Dublin, under their corporation seal ; also petitions to the same effect from the corporation of tailors in Dublin; and from the Protestants of the county a nd city of Kilkenny. His Lordship also presented a pe tition to the same effect from the managers, directors, and teachers of the free school in Grafton-street, Fitzroy-square, in the parish of St. Pancras. The petitions were laid on the table. The Earl of ELDON presented petitions against con cessions to the Catholics, from freeholders of the county of Brecon ; from the Wesleyan Methodists in the town of Buckingham ; from c ert a i n inhabitants of Hampstead ; from the parish o f D rys d a l e, i n t h e coun ty of Dumf r i es ; from the parish of Ladykirk, in Scotland; from a pariah Lord LITTLETON had a petition to presant on the sume subject ; but before he presented it, he requested the attention of the House to an explanation which he was about to give with reference to what he had mentioned to the House respecting Dr. Forrester He had been in formed by authority upon which he had placed the most implicit reliance, that Dr. Forrester had encouraged the circulation of a most improper placard or hand-bill in his parish, awl lie thought it his duty to mention the circum stance when the petition from this part was presented. He had on Saturday a letter from Dr. Forrester, in which he explicitly disclaimed all knowledge of the placard in question, or its circulation. He felt it to be the duty of a Member of Parliament, when he was convinced that he had been mistaken in any statement which he made, to take the earliest opportunity to set the matter right. He was verYlsorry for the mistake into which he had fallen with respect to the Rev. Prebendary ; and he hoped that this explanation and justification of the Rev. Prebendary would circulate as widely as the imputation, which he had, through mistake, cast on, the worthy Clergyman.—(Hear, hear.)—He hoped this explanation would prove satisfac tory, and fully clear the character of the Rev. Prebendary. His Lordship then presented two petitions in favour of Concession to the Catholics ; one from the Catholics of Washington, and another from the Protestants of the same place, to the same et - rect.—Laid on the table. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented a petition from a place called Butlers-town, in Ireland, against the Free holders' Qualification Bill. Lord PLUNKETT presented a petition from Dublin, in favour of concession to the Catholics. Lord MOUNTCASHE[, presented petitions against concession to the Catholics, from the Editor, Publisher, lice. of the Birmingham Journal, and from a Congrega tion of Presbyterian Protestants, in the county of Antrim. The congregation consisted of 1,000 families, of whom no more than 30 were favourable to the removal of the Co tholic disabilities. His Lordship also presented a petition to the same effect from the Managers and Teachers of the Sunday Schools in the Western District of the Metropolis, signed by 306 persons, nmoe of them being under 16 years —nor females. These persons felt themselves very much interested in this subject, as to which they were very ca pable of forming a sound judgment, and the petition, therefore, WB3 of great importance, and worthy of parti cular attention. The petitions were laid on the table. Lord SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from Woodstock against concession to the Catholics. Lord LONGFORD presented three petitions to the same effect from the counties of Nottingham, Donegal, and Dublin. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions from Aberdeen and Montrose in ftrour of concession to the Catholics. Lord HOLLAND presented petitions to the same effect from certain Dissenters in the county of Suffolk, &e. The Archbishop of YORK presented a petition from Sheffield against concession to the Catholics. The Duke of SUSSEX had a petition - To present to morrow against concession to the Catholics (as we un derstood) from certain of the clergy of the Archdeaconry of Ely. It was signed by two persons, who were sup posed to have no right to sign it, and one of them htd ex pressed a wish to withdiaw his name. Earl DARNLEY presented a petition from a Roman Catholic Bishop and Clergy in the county of Meath in favour of the Catholics. Lord FARNHAM objected to this on the ground of irregularity, as he doubted whether a Roman Catholic Bishop had a right to present a petition in that character. Earl DARNLEY consented to withdraw the petition. Earl DARNLEY took the opportunity, on presenting a petition from the Roman Catholics of Wicklow, against the Sub-letting Act, to state that both the Roman Catholic Clergy and LlitY would be too well satisfied with the Bill of Relief, the second reading of which took place on Sa turday, to insist upon auy minor objects. .

If in teaching lan guages, professors would condescend to teach not from books, but from the beat of all teachers, the natural habits of the human mind, they will soon discover the true method in which language ought to be taught; in a word, in the same way in which a child acquires his mother tongue; by obtaining, first of all, the names of the commonest and simplest objects, and their connections, and proceeding gradually to their combination into phrases and sentences."

The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented a petition from certain Freeholders of Middlesex and Surrey, in favour of the introduction of Poor Laws into Ireland. It was his Lordship's firm conviction that a modification of the sys tem prevailing in England would be beneficial to Ireland. The Earl of LIMERICK, without meaning any disre spect to the Noble Earl, begged to say that an opinion that any system of Pcor Laws would benefit Ireland, could only be founded upon the grossest ignorance. The Earl of MALMESBURY insisted that it was an anomaly not to be justified, that the poor of Ireland should be supported by England. He was one of th , ig norant persons who entertained the opinion that Poor Laws ought, in justice to this country, to be introduc(d into Ireland. The Earl of LIMERICK remarked that according to the showing of the Noble Lords, the Poor Laws were to be introduced into Ireland for the advantage of England, and in order that she might be relieved from the burden of maintaining the poor Irish. The Duke of HAMILTON adverted to the hardship of the situation of Scotland, as regarded the influx of poor from Ireland : those who could not find subsistence at home poured into Scotland in such numbers, that mere justice to that country required that something should be done for her relief from the burden. The Noble Viscount opposite (Melville) had objected last year to a measure which would tend in some degree to remedy the netorious and crying evil, although it certainly depended upon dif ferent grounds. Scotland required nothing more than was just and reasonable ; he had communications from the western part of e that country, which filled him with alarm : a mass of forty thousand destitute people existed there, two-thirds of i whom were not natural-born Scotchmen. He contended that it was the bounden duty of Govern ment to afford some relief. Lord FARNHANI was not one of the landed proprie tors of Ireland who would object to the introduction of a regulated system of Poor Laws, although he admitted that he was not so well acquainted with the South of Ire land. Lord MELVILLE had opposed the Bill of last year, referred to by the Noble Duke, because it enacted one system of law for the natives of Scotland, and another for the natives of England and Ireland—a principle quite at variance with the Legislative linion between the two countries. After a few words from the Duke of HAMILTON, the Earl of IlloiniTcAineL, Lord CAABERY, Lord Ross- LYN, and Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE, the petition was laid upon the table. DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. The Order of the Day for the second reading of the Irish Freeholders' Disfranchisement Bill having been read, The Duke of WELLINGTON spoke as follows :—lt is nowliny duty to state to your Lordships the nature of the other measure which it has been the duty of Govern ment to propose to Parliament, in cenformity with the re commendation in the Speech from the Throne—namely, the Bill to regulate the Franchise of persons to rote for Members of Parliament in counties in Ireand. The Irish Act of 1793 gave Roman Catholics the power of voting for Members of Parliament; and very shortly after that date it appears that the evil commenced which has now grown t.) such magnitude, that, fire years ago, it drew the attention of Parliament to it; and it was then thought necessary to take some measures to apply a remedy. I believe that, shortly after the paring of the Act of 1793, certain persons in possession of leases for one or more lives, under grants from so•ne of the great proprietors in Ireland, commenced the system of granting free holds by virtue of their leases. This was done for the pur pose of creating fur themselves political end Parliamentary influence; and I am afraid that it laid the ground for the example being followed by others, their superiors in station, their superiors in fortune, and their superiors in intelli gence. No doubt the system has since been extended to an enormous degree ; in Ireland there are many more freeholders than are necessary for the freedom of election upon any well-regulated principle, and many of the at tendants upon the system are such as to have become the general subject of complaint throughout the country.— (Hear, heat`)--The persons who have become entitled by the abuse of the power of making freeholders to vote fo Members of Parliament are, as appears by the proceed. ings of a Committee of your Lordships' House and of the House of Commons, of the very lowest cease of society.-- (Hear.) —ln making out their right to vote, in possessing themselves of their freeholds, and in all the circumstances attending the transaction, perjury is committed) the people are demoralised in every stage of th e p rocee ding ; and on that account atone, i f on no other, the subject dos serves the most serious attention. But, it appears, betides, fi om the Reports of the same Committee., that these people are not at all sensible of the advantages attending the free.. holds they possess, but cannot be said to enjoy. The law re quires that they should register the freehold 12 months before they vote : if they were sensible of the advantage of the right of voting, your Lordships might suppose that they would willingly attend for the purpose of registration and pay the expense , which I believe amounts to one shilling. It is well known that they will net pay even that charge —that it is paid by the landlord, by tlie candidate, or by some club interested in procuring vote for a particular individual. It appears also by the evidence taken before the same Committees that they are forced, absolutely driven, to give their votes at elections—that they are reckoned, in fact, part of the live stock of the estates,' add that they are hardly treated like human beings.—(Cheers.) On these grounds also, if no ethers could be stated, it must be obvious that some change is necessary. As I said before, these freeholds were originally formed for the purpose of giving political and Parliamentary influence t ccertain individual ; but latterly, and more palliculari since those Committees mad e their reports, it appear the the influence resulting from the system I have been slete scribing has fallen into the hands of persons in whose pose session there can be no doubt the Legislature never in tended that any political power or Parliamentary influence should be found—l mean the priests.--(Hear, hear.) — The continuance of such influence in such hands would be highly detrimental to the public interest, under what ever system we should continue to govern that part of the United Kingdom. But when we consider the measure that was adopted the other night, there can be no doubt that this evil ought not to be allowed to continue. After the vote of Saturday night, I may safely say in this [louse, that if a Roman Catholic gentleman possess pro• perty and talents to enable him to serve his country and to entitle him to a seat in Parliament, it is desirable that he should have one.—(Cheers.) —But I am sure there is not one of your Lordships who will not agree with me that it is not desirable that he should obtain: that seat by the exertion of Popish or religious influence.—(General cheers. )—I say, therefore, that on this ground it is fit that the Bill I now propose should be passed into a laves I would Ilewise beg your Lordships to observe, that ooe of the objects which I particularly held out some nights, ago, when I recommended another measure to your no tice, was the desire I felt to put an end to combinations— illegal combinations, in Ireland. Those illegal combina tions are founded upon religious opinions. I beg your Lordships to advert to the advantages and to the induce ments held out for the formation of such combinations if we are to continue that policy of law which now exists in tliet country.--(;Hear.)--Therefore I proceed with confi dence to entreat your Lordships to consider tLis system, and, in order to change it, to adopt the measure the second reading of which lam about to propose. I know it Way be asked, " If you take away from the forty-skilling free holders their right of voting, why do you not adopt the same course with regard to the same class of electors in England ?" But I beg of you to look at the difference in the situation of freeholders in England and of those who are called by the same name in Ireland. In Eng land, I am aware that the freeholders for life come to tho poll to vote, but in general they are persons really pos sessing land to the value of forty shil ings a year; and they, besides, are rated, and pay the land tax. They are able to show for what amount they purchased their property, and moreover they do not receive assistance from the pout's-rate, unless engaged in actual service iii the Militia. I beg your Lordships to compere the sort et . persons composing the Militia and forming the body of small freeholders in England with those persons in Ireland, and to mark the difference between them; and in order to enable you to do so, I will read a statement respecting those who have been recently registered in Ireland, and from that statement you may convince yourselves of the truth of what 1 say. In the county of Antrim, in the North of Ireland, there have been registered since 1822, 6,126 forty-shilling freeholders, of whom 1,798 could not write their names. In the county of Armegh, since the same period, there have been registered 8,813 forty shilling freeholders, and of these 3,590 could not write their names. In the following counties, C.e proportion of freeholders registered since 1822, who could not write their names,has somewhat varied from those in the counties I have already mentioned. In the county of Clare the num• bens registered were 10,753, of whom 3,855 could not write their names, In the county of Limerick 4,682 have been registered, and those who could not write their names amounted to 3,356. In the county of Mayor 21,672 freeholders have been registered, and of that num ber 195205—(A laugh)—could not write their names ; and in Waterford 5,335 have been registered, and 3,420 of that number could not write their names. Nov, my Lords, I think I can confidently say that that is not the case with the small freeholders of England. I come now to another objection which has been raised against this Bill ; and that is the number of freeholders in fee who will, by the operation of the proposed Bill, be deprived of the same rights as the other. From the return laid on the table of the House in 1825, your Lordships will be able to see the number of those small freeholders. In six counties there are none at all. In others there are but a few ; and the truth of the matter is, that in general in Ireland there none of that description. It happened that two years before the return was made, a clause was inserted in the Act of Parliament which en abled persons to register freeholds, and three wrie often registered without the persons claiming to register them being called on to produce their titles or to chew whether they held on leases for lives, or in fee, or without showing any ground whatever, except that the person was in the possession of the land. Neither did he show that he tilled it or grazed it, or for what other purpose he held it, but merely that he was liable to pay a quit rent for it. Among those persons who showed no right whatever to the freeholds, were those who came to vote, and whose votes could not legally be refused. But, my Lords, be sides these evils resulting from these tenures, there are other abuses connected with this particular description of freeholders, which well deserve your Lordships' attention. I have been informed that there are more instances than one of persons interested in the elections of Ireland, who having thus created a large number of freeholders under leases for lives, were doomed to disappointment in certain expectations, when, having found reason to believe that the elections would occur earlier than they expected, they have been compelled to transfer the freehold. in such a manner as to convert them from freeholds on lives into freeholds in fee, by which the fictitious freeholders, taking advantage of the registry required by Act of Parliament, have obtained freeholds in fee, instead of their fictitious freeholds, and thus the Act bas operated as a bounty on fraud. Now, really, my Lords, after a statement such as this, there can be no doubt that the exclusion of such per -130118 from the elective franchise is a measure that ought to be adopted. I know one or two other circumstances which warrant me in expecting your Lordships' support to this measure, but with the mention of which I will not trouble your Lordships at this moment. Besides, my Lords, this measure comes recommended not on!y as a re medy for evils that are now in existence, but it is benefi cial as providing the means of ascertaining the right of those persons who claim to vote in respect of their freeholds.— It provides that freeholders shall prove what is the value of the freehold in respect of which they claim to vote. It gives the mode of appealing to a Jury, and it affords guards such as we hope will satisfy your Lordships that we really wean only to provide a fair mode of discovering the rig 11, of persons entitled to vote at elections, and of persons interested in their result. I can assure your Lord ships, that it is not our wish or intention, nor would your Lordships consent if it were, to give an influence over elec tions into the hands of any particular class of persons.— Our wish is, that the possessor of hod should have as fair au influence under this system as under any other ; but we wish also nut only that the possessor of land should enjoy this advantage, :.:it that all other percons whose talents are such as to qualify them to serve the public, and who wish to exercise those talents by obtaining a seat in Pm - fief/tent, should have an equal chance of finding their way hither.— . more, my Lords, that this Bill be read x second The Dube of RICHMOND—It is not Without pain thi.t upon this, as well as upon the other Bill, I feel obliged to differ from the Noble Duke ; but I ant compelled to da so, because I look upon this Bill as a plan which, by one single enactment, goes to disfranchise a lane body of electors unaccused, unheard, cad unisonderaned; and for

that reason, as it is, my opinion, contrary to the practlte and principles of the Constitution, I shall feel it my duty, on every occasion, to remind your Lordships that it must not he drawn into a precedent. I have no doubt your Lordships are aware—and I must fairly acknowledge that in the early part of my political career I did not pay much attention to political science—l have always, however, known enough to understand that our Constitution pro tected the liberties as well as the property of hi; Majesty's subjects, lam not a lawvcr, my Lords ; but t, - hen I look into the Acts of Parliament passed at the time of the Union, I find that your Lordships gave a compensation to those boroughs which resigned their elective frsechise. That shews to me, my Lords, that the Dective Franchise is a property—(hear, hear)—and if it t property, it has as much a right to claim your protection as any other pro perty whatever. My Lords, a great authority was quoted, on the late discussion, to show that all the great men who had been in Parliament had been the advocates of Catholic Emancipation. I should like to know, whether any Noble Lord will make the same observation on this Bill, or will tell me that Mr. Pitt, Mr. Fox, Mr. Canning, or Lord Liverpool, would have justified this contraction of the Elective Franchise? Will that Noble Earl. who, with so much eloquence, and se little reluctance, attacked his col leagues in office ; or will that Noble Lord, who was sent to Ireland by Mr. Pitt, to carry that measure--will he, or dither of them, turn round and agree with the Noble Duke ? My Lords, the Noble Duke has justified this great measure, by the fact of the spirit which influenced the forty shilling freeholders in the late election at Clare. It is true, that the spirit he described did influence them, and, combined as it NV 49 with a spirit of disaffection in the people, did produce the rejection of a Cabinet Minister who was a candidate for the representation of that county. But, my Lords, have we had no example of the same in England? Have your Lordships forgotten the honest and independent conduct of electors, who, blind to what might be deemed the best cause for the advancement of 'their temporal concerns, voted also against a Cabinet Mi nister? nave your Lordships, I ask, forgotten the Uni versity of Oxford? I do not believe that your Lordships 'ill consent to pass this measure, so contrary to the prin tiples of the Constitution. You will not conclude this night's debate by adopting a measure so prejudicial to the principle of the elective franchise. Whether the electors, in right of their forty-shilling freeholds, are too numerous; whether those who in England purchase the land-tax—a body of persons, of whom there are great numbers in the county in which I have the honour to reside, ought to be diminished, are questions intimately connected together; and if the number of persons I have just alluded to should increase, I ask whether, after passing this Bill, you can refuse to disfranchise them ? My Lords, if the machi nery of this Bill is sufficient to prevent the creation of fic titious freeholds of 101. per annum, lel y will it not equally prevent the creation of fictitious freeholds of forty shillings a year ? I don't see why it will not as well prevent one as the other. 'This is the reform I understand to be required; for I beg it to be understood that I am not advocating any new rights or any new principle, but I wish to protect what is old. lam certain, that if your Lordships reform abuses in the manner now proposed, and by one el-met trent send good and bail together without inquiry, you nil eanfer but little benefit on the country. Your Lord _ _ ships are told there was inquiry in 1825. I ask, if these abuses then existed, why were they not remedied Why, if the facts now stat,d were then known, was Ireland left to all the miseries that have arisen, and that will arise from three forty-shilling freeholders? Looking at this evi dence, on which we are required to act, I ask, whether even that is all one way ? Have I not the evidence of a Noble Earl who then expressed his hope that we should do no such thing as that which is now required of us ? If this Bill passes, you will turn off both farmers and proprietors from their lands; they will come here, and their arrival will be made use of as an argument for the establishment of Poor Laws, and the dilemma in which we are now placed will be increased. If any real abuse is proved to exist, there is no man in the House more ready than my self to afford a remedy ; but I will not begin a sort of Par liamentary Reform by disfranchising thousands of men without inquiry. if a really good measure were proposed I would support it ; but if there be not, any others shall have my decided opposition ; and this measure has it on principle, and on principle alone. I beg to move that this Bill he read a second time this day six months. Lord REDESDALE supported the Bill, and after going through the statutes relating to elections, contended that by the change in the value of money, the forty-slliiling freehold. had now passed into the hands of a class of men much below those originally intended to be electors, and that consequently this Bill was but a return to the old standard of qualifications. Lord FARNHAM did not mean to deny the abuses of the forty-shilling freeholders, but he had a strong objec tion to the provisions of the Bill ❑ow on the table. He did tort mean to cast any imputations upon the Assistant Bar isters, but he most say that this Bill put them under the influence of the Crown. In the first place, it made them almost absolute judges of the whole constituency of the Kingdom ; a power which he thought ought not to he vested in the hands of men who were appointed by the Crown, whose salary was not fixed by statute, but who were to be remunerated at time pleasure of the Crown, and who were removeable at the will of the Crown. He thought that, by such agency, his Majesty's Ministers could, if they were so inclined, obtain, and unfairly ob ta;n, the most dangerous influence over elections in Ire land.—(Hear.)—This he thought was an evil which their Lordship, as legislators, were bound to prevent. He fully concurred with the Noble Duke as to the conduct of a certain class of Irish freeholders, to whom his Grace had alluded ; but he felt that the proposed Bill would be a hardship upon persons who held freeholds in fee simple under 10/. Why, he asked, should not these freeholds be obtained ? By doing so they would get rid of all fictitious freeholds, and thus the evil would at once be remedied without injury. There was one other point to which he wished to allude, as any observations upon it in Co►n mittee would not carry so much weight—he meant the power of an appeal in the event of an affirmative as well as a negative decision on the part of the Assistant Bar• rister. He would in such case allow the appeal to be made to any two Magistmates of the County. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that the Bill provided such an appal. Lord FARNHAM added, but the appeal to be so made should he decided before the then next ensuing Session. Lord MANNERS said, that judging from the practical effects of the Bill of 1793, he could not conceive any mea sure more calculated to improve the general state of Ire• hod, and benefit the poorer classes of its inhabitants than the proposed Bill. It would renew and strengthen those ties between landlord and tenant so beneficial to both, but which had been so grievously broken in upon by the Act of 1793. He looked upon the Bill as an act of justice, and one which would confer considerable benefit upon a great portion of the forty-shilling freeholders themselves. From his long professional habits, he must be supposed as anxious as any of their Lordships to support vested rights, but he was not so anxious to retain a bad law, as to resist an improvement of it.—(Hear, hear, hear. )—lt was quite a mistake to suppose that the forty-shilling freeholders re presented the landed interest of Ireland ; as well might it he said that universal suffrage would give a faithful repre sentation of the landed and moneyed interest of the coun try. As the law at present stood, many of the forty shilling freeholders came to vote with a suspicious title; some on a lease of lives, with an old life thrown in, in order to strengthen the title ; those leases were held at a high rack rent, and the land was tilled by the occupier, he being unah:e to pay for the labour of another. In 1793, it was thought necessary to grant concessions to the Ro man Catholics ; and it was thought better to grant them the elective franchise than give them admission to Parlia ment, the latter being deemed the less constitutional mode of concession. Now their Lordships had heard the effects of the Act of 1793. It had demoralized the country ; it had produced great mischief, and no good ; and, in addi tion, it had inflicted serious injury upon the forty-shilling freeholders thetnAelves.—( Hear. )--He supported the Bill now before their Lordships, from a conviction that it would improve the morals of the country, and add to the pnblic pace of Ireland. But as this Bill was so intimately connected with another measure still within their Lord ships' House, he hoped he might be allowed to say a few words upon it. He had voted against that other measure; but he had done so with pain, as it must ever give him pain to vote against the Noble Duke, for whom he uniformly entertained the highest respect.—(Hear, hear.) —But he assured the Noble Duke and his colleagues, that in having changed their opinions upon this great tioestien, they had not diminished, but increased his con fidence in them—(hear, hear)—for lie felt that in doing so they had made great and painful sacrifices to the discharge of their public duty.—(Hear, hear.)—And when he saw the Noble Duke and his friends supported by so many Noblemen whose wisdom and talent and integrity were unquestioned—men whose only interest was iu the pro sperity and tranquillity of the country—so far from dis trusting the Noble Duke, he could not help feeling that his own opinion was not right. He hoped he should find that it was wrong ; and when the Bill was passed into a law he trusted it would have the effect of tranquillizing Ire- land, of uniting both Protestant and Catholic, or at least of depriving the latter of all cause of complaint ; that it would strengthem the -bands of Government, and give the country at large a more general confidence in the protec tion of the Legislature. The Marquis of BUTE said some Noble Lords bad op posed the measure on the ground that sufficient time had not been given to inquire into the effects it would pro duce in Ireland. Now he would ask what more strict in quiry could be instituted than that of 1825 ? They were anxious that the great question of Catholic Emancipation should be carried, yet, however thankful he might be to Ministers for that measure, still he wou'ti not consent to suppot t •lie Bill then before their Lordships, if he thought it, contrary to the feelings of the parties more immediately interested in it. It was because he was satisfiel, from the information private anti public which had reveled him on the subject, that the forty-shilling freeholders themselves acquiesced in it, that he gave it his support. He felt, too, that in doing so he was conferring a benefit on Ire land, but more particularly on the forty-shilling free holders themselves. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE was anxious to make a few observations upon this Bill. However anxious he was to carry the other great measure, which was calcu lated to tranquillize, he could not support that now before the House, because he could not see that there existed any necessary connection between the one and the other. If he thought that the other Bill depended in any way upon this, be would go out of his way to support it ; but not without a conviction, that in doing so, he would be com mitting a direct act of injustice. Much had been said about the evils which exist, and the benefits which this Bill would confer in removing those evils. It would, in his view of the case, have been better to have shown that the Bill would introduce a better system than that at pre sent existing. As the law now stood, it would be impos sible to bribe the forty-shilling freeholders of any county in Ireland ; but when the number of voters was reduced, votes would become of value, and there would always be found plenty of men who had their price; and ihen, if the bribery oath should be adminstered, the perjury and demoralization would be as great as at present. It was said that the forty a shilling freeholder was insensible of the value of his vote. He maintained that recent events proved the contrary. When the forty-shilling freeholder was called upon to decide, he decided against those who he considered were continuing his injuries ; and by so doing ke carried Catholic Emancipation. The Noble Duke wished to introduce a race of yeomen into Ireland. —But what was he to do—how was he to provide for the thousands who must be removed from the soil, in order to make way for them ? It was true that peace and tran quillity would introduce manufactures--manufactures would beget industry and give employment. Then, and not till then, could the more humble classes be safely withdrawn from the soil. But all this must be gradual, and the work of time—whereas the proposed Bill was a premium on sudden and rapid depopulation. On these grounds he felt it his duty to oppose the Bill. The Earl of ROSEIiERI ; ' differed with his Noble Friend and Relative, and from other Noble Lord's who hail expressed a determination to oppose the Bill. He thought it would he productive of beneficial effects, and would therefore support it. Indeed the only ground of objec tion which he could at all perceive in it was that it had a tendency to interfere with vested rights. But when he reflected how the Elective Franchise had been exercised by the forty-shilling freeholders ; when he found that that privilege, instead of turning out a benefit, had proved an injury to the parties exercising it, he thought a case i❑ favour of the Bill was fully and clearly established on the part of his Majesty's Government. It was not only that there were no benefits, their Lordships must he aware that considerable mischiefs had grown up out of the system, and that not only much benefit would he caused by the re pression of the mischief, but other and most beneficial effects would flow from the Bill now before them. The prominent mischief which had arisen in Ireland from the present state of the franchise, and which had been sa clearly stated by the Noble Duke in his address to their Lordships, was the controul exercised by the Catholic Priests over the great body of the people. Another mis chief, not inferior to this, was the subdivided occupancy of the land, which was occasioned by the desire to obtain votes and Parliamentary influence, and which produced the secondary mischief, viz, that the subdivision of the land led to a great redundancy of population, which was the more mischievous as it occurred in a country destitute of all manufactures to employ them. It produced the further mischief, that the great redun dancy of popularity, which wm, perhaps, unexampled in Ireland, prevented the people from finding employ ment, plunged them ail in the greatest wretchedness and penury, brought on them all the evils of idleness, and made them, at all times, the ready instruments of tu mult and disorder.—(Hear, hear.)--An additional opera tion of this system, he believed, was—and lie spoke it with great deference to the Noble Lords who came from that part of the country—that the people found it neces sary, in order to obtain support, to enter into a competi tion for the occupation of land, by which rents were largely and even ruinously increased.—(Hear, hear.)—He thought it hid been proved that the Bill would put an end to one of the evils complained of, viz. the controul now exercised by the Catholic Priests over the freeholders. He could not help feeling sanguine also that the regulation now pro posed would slowly but effectually cure the other evils. He therefore should be ready to give his vote for the Bill, as a good substantive measure, though he must candidly and fairly avow—notwithstanding he thought the Bill wisuld produce much positive good—that he should not have voted fit it, unless it bad been accompanied Ly the mea sure for Catholic relief. He would now vote for it, not merely on its own merits, but as the Bill was a great agent to procure the support of those to that great measure which he had uniformly hoped, ever since he had a seat in that House, would ultimately be carried, thinking, as he did, that neither this nor any other measure would be of any.beneficial effect. The Catholic Relief Bill was made the basis of our legislation. It had been stated that the measure would produce considerable discontent, and it had been wished that the right of the present possessors might be preserved, and that the Bill might be made only pro spective. He doubted if this would satisfy the commu nity ; or if it would have gained the support of those whose support was of incalculable benefit in carrying through the other measure. What he bad heard had not altogether satisfied him, that if ever another election should ensue, whether it was a single election or a general election, be fore that measure were adopted by Parliament, and conies into execution, he for one should consider it a great re proach that the country should lie left exposed to the jail ence exercised by the Catholic Priests over the forty-shil ling freeholders. The measure was certainly a violation of a principle, anti he deeply regretted that it should be ne cessary to support it ; but under the present circumstances no time was to be lost ; and as Parliament had arrived at a correct conclusion in consenting to the other Bill, be hoped it would also consent to this, not merely as essential to complete the other measure, but as carrying with it be nefits on its own grounds.—( Hear, hear.) _ _ The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL was understood to support the Bill, though he did not think it would di minish the influence of the Catholic Priests. He con ceived they would have as much influence over the Catho lic freeholder if the franchise were raised to 101. or 201., as they have over the forty shilling freeholders. He was anxious to see Ireland prosperous and her people comfortable, and wished to see an independent body of yeomanry, who would be able to obtain a good educa tion fur their children, and would be better judges of who was fit to represent them in Parliament than the present ignorant peasants who dwelt in mud-huts, which they shut up in summer, and, turning their children out to beg, came themselves to England to seek a little money. He would like to see the measure extended, and the qua lification raised still higher. It would follow up the Act which had been passed last Session, called the Sub-letting Act, and would prevent those subdivisions of property by which respectable farms were gradually turned in nume rous cabbage-gardens. It was impossible that a man could support a family and pay rent out of half an acre of land. It was supposed, if the land was not so subdivided, that the people would starve—that no employment could be found for them if these small portions of land were again united into respectable farms. There was yet a great deal of uncultivated land in Ireland, and these people might he settled on it; bringing it under tillage would be greatly to the advantage of the country. This bad been practised in some cases, and might be done on a great scale. He wished also to see the principle of the Bill ex tended to boroughs, otherwise there would be a tempta tion to build mud-cabins about towns, that would be a dis grace to Ireland.—(Laughter.)--- He wished also, that a clause might be introduced, baking away from the forty shilling freeholders the right of voting for Coroners, as they were not capable of judging who was a proper person to fill that important office. The Earls of Winchilsea and Malmesbury rose toge ther, but the former Noble Lord giving way, the Earl of MALMESBURY proceeded :—lle had been anxious fur some time to rise, as some appeals had been made to the party to which he belonged—he being one of those who were not particularly fond of change, and who were satis fied with the existing order of things. He did imagine, when he came into the House, though it was difficult to comprehend how it should happen—hut he did imagine that extremes would meet, and that he who was averse from reform, and that those who were the champions of reform, were to join in their opposition to that Bill. He • had expected that one of the Noble Lords opposite would rise and protest against that act as an infringement of the rights of the people. He was an enemy to reform, and he should be ready to oppose any measure which went to alter the representative system. This measure was supported as necessary to the prosperity of Ireland—to the prospe rity of Ireland he was a great friend, and had given prac tical proofs of it. He had advocated her interests on all questions concerning the Corn Laws. He had advocated the measure for admitting her agricultural produce into this country, first brought forward in 1816, and he had alwa) s urged the necessity of allowing the average prices of Ireland to be taken into consideration in determining the average prices of the whole country. If he opposed the present measure, it was not because be was the enemy of Ireland, but because he regarded the Bill as altering the Constitution. He looked at the Bill as correcting abuses and remedying an evil, and he expected to find that exl pressed in the preamble of the Bill, but he found no such Cling. The preamble only stated, that, " Whereas it was expedient and necessary to raise the amount of the quali fication for election in Ireland."—(Hear, hear.)—To him the Bill appeared one of the most complete measures of re form that had ever been brought into Parliament. He had learnt from good authority—the evidence taken before Committees of both [louses five years ago—that there were many freeholders in fee-simple in Ireland. In the evidence taken before the House of Commons, he found 31r. Hoch ford asserting that there were many such freeholders in Ireland, as we have in England ; be meant a class well known, probably, to their Lordships, who fixed themselves on a common, and by prescription obtained a freehold, to which they hail as good a right as le had to his estate. However that right might originally have been acquired, the were now bone fide farty-shilling freeholders in lee, and they were by this Bill to he swept away at one fell swoop. He voted conscientiously against the measure, on the principle which had made their Lordships, when bo roughs were accused of corruption, most anxious not to take away their rights without a full inquiry. If there were any thing sacred, it was the elective franchise. He did not agree with his Noble Friend (the Earl of Winchilsea) who had avowed himself a Reformer, and if he were to vote for this Bill he should act unquestionably in a very f4olish manner ; and when any question were raised here after about Reforxi—if it were proposed, for example, to take away the burgage fees, which he thought an anomaly, what answer could be give if he were reminded of any vote he might give in favour of this Bill; the Noble Duke said that the forty-shilling freeholds was a system of great abuse ; but why not make it a substantive and separate measure— why not raise the franchise to 101. by a measure that had no connection with any other measure ? The measure was now towed through that House against wind and tide. He hated all bargaining in legislation, and would rather see a measure of such importance brought forward by itself. de apprehended the measure was one of the most inivor tant that ever had come before Parliament, and he did not like to see it slip and glide through the House in spite of justice and in spite of opposition, because it went in the wake of another measure. He would rather see both Bills stand each on its own merit, and would rather see the Catholic question conceded, denuded of all securities, Olen see it accompanied by a measure of this kind. lie found himself placed in a strange situation, arising from the strange manner in which the words friend to civil and religious liberty were banded about. Ile imagined him self to he a friend to civil and religious liberty ; but if he were to describe that character, he should now say of him that he was a man professing to be the friend of civil and religious ►iberty while he held in one hand the clause of a Bill, making it a punishable offence to he in this land, which only to touch gave freedom to a slave—and hold ing in the other a Bill to take away the elective franchise from the body of the people without hearing them in their behalf and without inquiry.— (Cheers and laughter.) He was sorry to oppose measures originating with Govern ment with which he generally acted, but in that opposi tion he was, perhaps, not so much to blame as the Members of that Government, who were now supporting measures they had formerly opposed.—(Hear, hear.)—He would give his support to the amendment. Lord HOLLAND and the Earl of WINCITILSE A rose together, and both claimed for some time t''•se right to ad dress the 'louse ; at length the former Noble Lord gave way. The Earl of WINCHILSEA would not long detain the House, for he was sure, after the decision their Lordships came to on Saturday last, that they would not he inclined to listen with much attention to any argument he might adduce as to the danger which was likely to arise to the best interests of the country. He, however, could not avoid observing that their Lordships were called upon in the most unconstitutional manner, without going into an inquiry, to establish a precedent, by which some de spotic Minister might make an infringement upon the dearest rights of the country.—(Hear, bear.)—Their Lordships were told, that this measure would be beneficial to Ireland, and the grounds for bringing it forward were stated to be, that the forty-shilling freeholders were re gardless of their privileges—that they were prevented by poverty and distress from registering their freeholds —and that they were driven in flocks to the vote.—( Hear. ) Another reason given for disfranchising the forty-shilling freeholders was, because they could not write ; but their Lordships should remember, that not one of those indivi duals who gained for England the great charter of her li berties could ;vrite.—(Hear.)—A Noble Lord had alluded to what he had said respecting Parliamentary reform ; and he would, with the permission of the House, state his views on that subject. He believed that the measure, the prin ciple of which had bee❑ assented to by their Lordship on Saturday last, was contrary to the sense of the nation ; and if it should pass, he certainly should not enter into the walls of that House again, or take part in any discussion, until the people had had an opportunity of ex pressing their sentiments on the subject. He admitted the power of Parliament to abrogate any laws, but still the opinion of the people ought not to he disregarded. The reform which he would propose would he to have triennial Parliaments instead of septennial. He believed that a ne cessity had existed at the time for altering the period of Parliament's duration from three years to seven ; but when that necessity ceas••d to exist, the period for the duration of Parliaments, as regulated in the reign of William 111., ought to have been re-established. Had that been the case, he was convinced that the late great change in the Constitution would not have been effected. There was another reform which he would recommend. Last year the Reverend Bench opposite had consented to a measure which separated the established religion from the State, and this year many of that hotly had agreed to a measure which would have the effect of making the Protestant re ligion no longer the religion of the country. Upon their conduct, however, he did not mean to comment, but he agreed with a Right Rev. Prelate, with whom he had had a conversation, that there ought to be some discipline in the church, and power given it to remove such members as were a disgrace to it. He would propose that there should be no transitions from one see to another ; (Hear, hear)—that the incomes of the Bishops should be equalized, and that they should be paid in proportio❑ to the duties they performed.—(Hear.) He would pro •use that no Minister should have the appointment of Bishops, but that they should be chosen by their own body, !subject to the approval of the King ; and his last pro • posal would be, that the Bishops should no longer have seats within the walls of their Lordships' House.—( Cheers and laughter.)—There had been many very extraordinary changes of opinion of late ; and with the permission of the House, he would relate an anecdote which had been told to him by the Hon. Member for Kent, which he thought ap plicable to the present circumstances. At the commence ment of the late war, two soldiers—one a black maa, and the other a white—were walking in the neighbourhood of Harwich, where there was an encampment, and they met a woman and a sailor, who were going to he married in the ensuing week. They committed an act of violence and atrocity on the person of the woman, and nearly murdered the man. For this offence they were both hang e d. At the end of nine months, the woman, who was ill-treated, gave birth to two children, one black and the other white. (Laughter•.) This he considered a very extraordinary circumstance in the natural world ; hut no less extraordi nary in the political world were the twin speeches which the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack had de livered.—(Loud laughter. )—He ought to add, that a libe ral subscription was raised for the woman, but he did not know how the Noble and Learned Lord was to be re warded for his painful d e livery.—(Continued laughter. ) The Noble Earl sat down amidst the loud cries of hear, after stating that his opposition to the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government was founded not on personal but solely on public motives. Lord HOLLAND did not think the present a proper time for discussing the questions of Parliamentory reform. He had never given his vote, or delivered his senti ments, on that subject in their Lordships' House, but he certainly was not prepared to go the length of the Noble Earl behind him. He expressed his satisfaction at finding the Noble Lord did not think the Coronation Oath contained any bar to the legislation of Parliament on the subject of Catholic relief. The Noble Earl (Wincldlsea) admitted that Parliament had a right to change the Con stitution of the country ; also that they could effect one change which the Noble Earl appeared to wish to see made—that was, that the Spiritual Lords should be turned out of the House, and that their revenues should be equalized. This was rather a bold proposition, a stroke of sweeping reform to come from such a quarter. The words of the Coronation Oath, if they did apply to to the Legislative power of the throne (which he denied), did certainly apply to such a case as this ; aad compre hended measures like these now suggested by the Noble Earl. For according to the terms of the Coronation I Oath, the Sovereign was bound to maintain the Church and the Clergy of this kingdom in their rights and privi leges. That one of those rights and privileges was that the Right Rev. Prelates who filled the opposite bench should sit. in Parliament, none could deny. Yet the noble Earl wished to see the Bishops excluded from their Lordships' House. However, as it was possible that before he sat down he should have to say one word on the subject of consistency, he would now do the Noble Earl the justice to say, that not only was he consistent with himself in the proposition which he made, but he was consistent with the persons and things he most admired. The 30th of Charles 11. it self bore the Noble Earl out in his opinion ; and the Earl of Shaftesbury, a roan, it must he admitted, of most extra ordinary powers of mind, notwithstanding the atrocious blots upon his character, stated something similar to the Catholic Lords, and persuaded them to vote against the Bishops' test. The Earl of Shaftesoury said that the Catholic Lords would rot be the worst body in the House, thereby meaning that the Bishops ought to go out instead of the Catholic Lords. The Noble Earl, therefore, upon this point was consistent with himself and with the Earl Of Shaftesbury, with whom, however, the Noble Earl's ancestors had seldom the happiness to agree. He knew not whether it was a dispensation of Providence or a fata lity attendant on the imperfection of human nature, that seldom was there any subject or any political action on hu man affairs in which there did not arise something of a nature unpleasant, ungrateful, and disagreeable to our feel lings. In the best measures we found some want of com pleteness or imperfection. He felt that he was discharging a duty, but a distasteful one, to that part of the country more immediately interested in the present measure, and to the empire at large, by supporting in the first instance the second reading of this Bill ; and he also felt that he should be discharging a still more distasteful and painful duty in at tempting to reconcile himself to all the clauses and provi sions contained in it, except he found, which he much de sired, that the supporters and originators of the measure should not be of opinion that the preservation of these clauses was necessary to its existence. It hail been said there was no evidence before the House to justify the pre sent measure. He denied this. There was a mass of evidence on the subject taken and laid before their Lordships in 1825 ; and upon that evidence only was it that he felt prepared to give his vote for this Bill ; and he would tell their Lordships shortly why. He was aware there was an answer to the argument founded on these considerations; but the Noble Earl had forestalled the objection, although he was the last man whom he should have expected to do so. There certainly was an observation pregnant with some considerations likely to lead one to another conclusion on that evidence—namely, what had happened since that evidence was taken. Ile surrendered in this respect all claim to consistency ; Noble Lords might have the ad vantage of the admission, and use all their artillery—they had plenty of it—against him. What had happened since 1825, he at once admitted lie thought calculated to weaken the objections entertained towards the system and exercise of the elective franchise in Ireland. The evidence taken in 1825 contained the true grounds for objecting to that system; what happened since arose from an accidental excitement. He should be told that instead of being governed by their landlords—that was, treated as so much live stock dispoleable at the will of the owner—the Irish tenantry were now swayed by the priests. Ile was not fond of an undue influence on the part of the priests of any kind ; he was as free from that weakness as any man could well be ; but if slaves were to be driven, he would rather they were driven by drivers of their own choice, than by persons of whom they less approved, although they might happen to he the original drivers.— The conduct of the Irish electors since 1825, so far from being an aggravation of their offence, was directly tire con trary. It was to their praise that these poor unhappy and most unfortunate men, who had been long lab.uring under the yoke which your ambition imposed upon them,— these slaves and serfs of the land,—it was to be spoken to their commendation, that, impelled by religious and strong political notions, they had incurred the risk of actual des titution and punishment by opposing their task-maeters.— Though it might be true that the basis of the English Constitution and representation consisted in property, it was false that the over-weening property of one nom could constitutionally command the votes of others.— The really guilty men were the proprietors of land in Ire land, who, for the basest, lowest, and most grovelling of political objects had bestowed rights and privileges upon their fellow-countrymen. He supposed the Noble Lord would not object to the evidence of Archdeacon Trench. That gentleman stated that he hail frequently seen herds of voters driven to the hustings to be polled—driven, he added, like herds of oxen, by a man on a mule with a long whip. He (Lord Holland) asked the witness whether he had seen the men actually lash the voters ? The Archdeacon replied he had not. He then put it to him to say, whether he believed that the whip was intended for the voters, and not for the mule? The answer was, that he not only believed it, but knew it, for the whip was of such a quality and length that the mule could not be struck by it, and the voters could. The Noble Duke who had moved the amendment would probably he somewhat moderated in his anxiety as to the rights and privileges of the freeholders, when he considered that the liberty which they enjoyed was a little like the liberty of the negroes in our West India colonies. When he recollected this evidence, and considered the con current testimony from so many quarters as to the manner in which this strange, vicious, and imperfect system worked, (whether the vice consisted in the original con struction of the law, or in its subsequent perversion, he knew not,)—wheu he knew that a large portion of these unhappy individuals themselves would consider the depri vation a relief—at any rate, when he saw that they felt so strung a wish for the accomplishment of the other great measure with which this had been connected, that they were ready to accept it and its accompaniments with gra titude—he found it impossible to oppose the second read ing of the Bill. But he acknowledged he could not vote for this Bill with the same degree of satisfaction and plea sure as he had felt, when, two days ago, he went below the bar in support of the other measure, with a mass of talent, liberality, arid learning—a conetellation of all that was most brilliant and benignant in human nature, such as perhaps had never before been enclosed within that nar row space. Though by some mysterious means these two measures had been linked together, as was truly stated by the Noble Earl, they had no necessary connection. —lt was true they were twins of the same parent, hut he thought they ought to have no affinity, awl cer tainly they bore no more resemblance to one another than tire two bantlings which the Noble Earl hod described to the House. The Relief Bill was a mea sure not of expediency and necessity exclusively ; it did net, as was said, invade the Constitution of the coun try, shake the stability of the throne, endanger our reli gious rights and privileges; it was a measure of justice, mercy, and peace ; it restored the Constitution of the country to its proper condition ; it did not menace evil to any—implied the subjugation of none; it restored to the King, Lords, and Commons their just and full privileges; it restored to the Protestant King of this country the unfettered exercise of his just, ancient, lawful, and consti tutional prerogative ; it restored their Lordships' House its full power and dignity; it rendered the Peerage of Eng land what it had a right to be, what it always was before the accursed law of Charles 11.,—it made it a full and en tire Peerage; it restored the integrity of this House, which had been suspended and mutilated as much as the bust of Titus Oates himself;—it restored to the other House of Parliament its ample and unfettered privileges, it restored to the people the right of electing the repre sentatives who could best represent them,—and to all men it restored the eligibity to office, executive and legislative. The Noble Lord, after noticing the assertion that the pre sent was a terrible infringement on the Irish elective fran chise, and glancing at the argument relative to the dif ferent value of 40s. now and in the time of Henry VIII., proceeded to observe, that, although for the reasons al ready stated, and in accordance with the tendency of the evidence taken in 1825, he was ready to vote for the Se cond reading of the Bill, yet, much as he wished to recon cile his mind to all the clauses and provisions suggested by those individuals who has! so nobly, boldly, wisely, and magnanimously brotight forward the measure of relief, he could not deny that there were clauses in the present Bill to which he could not give his hearty concur rence. He did not like the principle of retrospection. which the measure directly involved—he did not like to see that no attempt was made to separate the bona fide from the fictitious freeholder. He should be glad if the proposers of the Bill could consent to remedy these and other defects. He was sorry to hear, from what fell from the Noble Duke, that the measure was to be considered as definitive, and preferred taking the language of the Bill itself as his authority. He found some consolation in it. ; for more clearly, even than the declaration of King Wil liam himself, or the standing orders of their Lordships' House excluding the Catholics, did this Bill recognize the power of the alteration and revision in the legislature. This implied that the measure was to be parsed in sedan shape that it might be necessary to alter it ; and that con soled him greatly with regard to some clauses and provi sione in the Bill which ke found hard of digestion. Above all, although there were great blemishes in the Bill, he hoped it would not really impair or defeat the great mea sure with which it had been connected. He hoped-it would not be the dead fly which could taint the whole ointment. He did not think it would, although there were things in the Bill very much to his distaste, calcu lated to offend his palate, and which, under other circum stances, would be likely to revolt his stomach altogether. Ilis Noble Relative seemed pleased at that admission, and he hoped the Noble Lord would make the most of it. What would be the effect of rejecting this Bill ? What the con sequence of adopting it with all its imperfections? The consequences of its rejection, connected as it was with the , other measure, would be some things not fit to be de- scribed. From its adoption, always bearing in mind its connection with the Relief Bill, he did not augur so many ffsatleantages as did some Noble Lords. The Bill, taken abstractedly, would seem to possess a lowering and re pulsive aspect ; yet it had not been so contemplated by that open-hearted, magnanimous, and excellent people upon whom it was intended to take effect. When he gut over the minor objections that naturally arose out of consideration of the measure, he saw much ground for encouragement in the confidence to be reposed in the Go vernment that tad acted so wise and noble a part, he saw still greater ground for encouragement in the confidence which he felt in the good temper and magnanimity of the people of Ireland. Ile had heard it asserted that the prin ciple of gratitude in great bodies was seldom firm or to be relied on : he believed that wrong feelings of gratitude for benefits conferred were implanted by the hand of their Maker in the minds of all men, and that the principles which actuated individuals actuated great bodies of men What reason was there to suppose that such a feeling would not be found in the body of men in question ? But it was possible to overrate a benefit. We talked of a boon and indulgence. What boon? What indulgence? Was it the indulgence of allowing men to live ?—the indulgence of permitting them to breathe the air of heaven ?—the in dulgence of letting them enjoy the fruits of their honest labour ?—the indulgence of saying they should be able to bold their own lands ? These were the sort of indul gences granted. Granted to whom ?—granted by whom ? To the people of a whole nation by a ens ill knot of the inhabitants of that nation ! It was a mockery of the rights of a free people to talk of such things as indul genres. Talk of the Bill of Rights ! Whose rights ? The rights of the people ?—are the Roman Catholics no part of the people ?—are the rights contained in the hill of Rights no part of their rights? Then why this mockery anti attempted delusion about boons and in dulgences to the people? The reasons which induced him to hope that the people of Ireland would acquiesce cheerfully in this Bill, in their great anxiety to secure the other measure, arose from the conduct up to the present moment. He believed they were disposed to follow the example set, and the advice given to them, by the Noble Marquis who was lately Lord Lieutenant of that country, and who men thought had been so extra- • ordinarily removed from his high office. However that might be that Noble individual in question had put aside all personil feelings on the subject of his recall, and gave Iris entire weight and influence to the support of this great measure of relief; and sure he was that the example of the Noble Marquis would induce the Irish people to overlook all minor conmidTratione, and concur in expressing their joy and gratitude at what had been done by increased loyalty and affection towards a Government which deserved so well from them. He now felt a little inc,ined to do that (with their Lordships' pardon) which since he had enjoyed the honour of a seat i❑ this House he had never mani fested any extraordinary propensity for doing. He was disposed to say a few words about himself,—sonrething concerning - the motives anti reasons be had for acting as he did. He had seen a good deal in the House, and much out of it, to convince him that those persons, who, under cover of a shower of violent indignation and feeble argu ment, began by describing the horrible measure brought forward for the relief of the Roman Catholics as a sort of renewal of the days and dangers of bloody Queen Mary in this Protestant country,—as a subversion of the state, a violation of the privileges of the church, and an infraction of the Constitution,—that those same individuals now gene rally planted their feeble batteries, and endeavoured to bring their artillery to hear against the consistency of indivi duals rather thin on the measure itself. We had nothing to do with the principle of consistency as it was employed by the Noble Lords : the decisions of Parliament were our rule : we were not to consider any thing but this in relation to the present question. This by the way. The Noble Earl complimented persons upon this side of the Horse for their consistency. He (Lord Holland) neither bragged nor wished to be thought proud of his consistency : his whole object was to think as justly and act as honestly as he could ; and if he happened to he consistent in his public ac tions, it was because his opinions had not changed. If they had undergone an alteration, he trusted he had virtue, honour, patriotism, and honesty enough to act on the change. He wished to show, by his actions, that these were his real opinions—the sentiments upon which he had always acted ; and therefore he wished to show the sharp-shooters of the opposite party, who endeavoured to bring down every body, that he was a fair mark for them. He wanted to show them that he had—not a white feather—that he did not believe be possessed—but a few discoloured feathers ; and that therefore they might have a slap at him. On the sub ject of reform they might think him vulnerable, for like the Noble Lord who spoke the other night he thought that that which abridged the number of votes in the country was an evil, and that extending them was a good. Notwithstanding this, he supported the present Bill. It was clear, then, that he could not interpose the shield of consistency against the projectiles of such skilful marksmen as he saw around him. For his part, he held retrospec tion in legislation in perfect abhorrence. Happily the day might arrive when his Noble Relative would have it in his power to confess that a change had taken place in his sen timents, which would do him honour in deserting that cause which he might imagine to be the cause of duty, but which he could not but consider the cause of prejudice, and, Ire hoped, antiquated intolerance. It was, however, an omen► in his Noble Relative's favour, that he so far advocated the cause of liberty, which it might there fore be presumed was natural to his generous temper, by his opposition to a Bill which was to extinguish the rights of so numerous a body of his Majesty's subjects. The measure of concerion had been always confessed to be a choice of evils; but be ima gined the difficulty or choice of evils would be ten thousand-fold increased, should their Lordships, after what had been already done in the meditated alteration of the law, attempt to halt and disappoint the expectations which had been so generally excited throughout this and the neighbouring kingdom. He could not contemplate the dangerous effect of such a hire of conduct without being appalled at the too probable consequences. This was the most powerful of all the many reasons which suggested themselves, or had been recapitulated, in favour of the Bill ; and, impressed as he was with the weight of this ar•- gutnent in favour of its expediency, be could not but give it his most sincere support. The Duke of HAMILTON rose, and expressed his conviction that this measure ought to be considered in the light of a totally distinct and sepsrate measure from that with which the Noble Lord had appeared so intimately to unite it.—(Here the Noble Duke discontinued his speech, and very abruptly resumed his seat.) The Earl of LONGFORD was satisfied no Bill could be framed for the improvement of the representation of Ire land, which was more calculated to produce the best and most salutary consequences. The Earl of HADDINGTON said he should vote in fa vour of the Bill, not so much on account of his satisfaction with the Bill itself, but because it was so intimately con nected with, and so necessary perhaps to the success of the Relief Bill, which it accompanied in its progress through their Lordships' House. He professed he had not courage to contemplate even the evils and horrific results which might flow from a failure of that measure to which this Bill relative to the franchise might be considered an accessory or adjunct. It should therefore have his decided support. The Earl of DUDLEY believed the Bill, even if it stood alone, would prove a singular benefit to the Irish people. The great grievances of Ireland, it was said, consisted in the exclusion of men of property and education from ele vated stations and offices of state. This all went to pro hibit the illiterate and the uninformed mass of the lower orders from exercising a power to their own prejudice, and often to their own disgrace and degradation. Had the forty-shilling freeholders not been proved by examination at their Lordships' bar to he a wretched set of ignorant I sings, too often driven like a herd of cattle to prostitute the elective franchise to the will of their landlords?— (Ilear.)—Latterly, the terrors of this world had yielded to the terrors of the next, and the priest ruled instead of the man of property over their deluded consciences. From such a system, and from such consequences, it was high time that the country should be relieved by the strong mrm of the Legislature, and he should therefore cordially support the Bill for its own intrinsic merits, as an excellent politi cal enactment.—(Cries of " Question, question.") The Duke of WELLINGTON confessed he was not surprised that on this Bill there had existed, even amongst the friends of the other accompanying measure, a difference of opinion. Ile felt it however necessary to call to their s L o o s m r t h h ps ng ' l r i e k c e o l t l c a t ti that a few whic had years tie ago, ho whenho nour iirt a introduces mas eur e to their notice last week relative to the Catholic disabiliti s had been introduced, another measure like that now before them made some progress through Parliament. To those measures, differing in different respects, though generally resembling these in principle, be could not, he felt, assent or be a party, becaate they did not in hie wind appear to I be complete. He could assent only to a complete system of measures which would be likely to effect the great objects of the pacification and improvement of the condition of that country to which those measurer, were directed. He should have deceived those with whom he acted, and deceived the nation, if he had brought down to them a project which he did not feel convinced was a complete one. To the objee tions which were not weighty in his mind, the answers would be found in the state of the Bills now before Parlia ment, in the anxiety of all classes of the community, and the state of Ireland. He conceived that the appointment of aa sistant-barristers to register and examine the value of the freehold was a better regulation by far than that resorted to by the magistracy heretofore. In fact, the magistrates had been tried and failed ; and he believed no class of men were more independent than professional gentlemen who bat a character to lose, and professional respectability to up hold. Ile believed no class of men in society would be less likely to yield to the seductions of ministerial authority or influence. In reply to the Noble Lord on the cross-bench, that it was likely the priesthood would have the same influence over the 101. freeholders sta over the forty-shilling freeholders, he begged their Lord" ships to recollect that it had been preyed before them that the influence alluded to was proved to exist always in pro portion to the degree of ignorance and poverty of the parties.—(Hear, hear.)—Could any parallel of this un favourable nature be drawn between the man who could neither reed or write, and the better informed 7—between the person who had been finind by a barrister to be, in his own clear right, without connivance, possessed of a free hold of 101. a-year, besides possibly a business or property of another description, and the poor dependant or beggar who swore himself, or forswore himself, to be the possessor of a forty-shilling freehold ? " I have brought," said his Grace, in concluding, " your Lordships this Bill in at nearly perfect a state as I could conceive to be practicable; I entreat you wilt allow it to he read a second time to night, that it may go simultaneously to the Committee! , with that other measure, there to be examined ; and 11 your Lordships deem it expedient, there to be amended• But I do also entreat your Lordships will not unnecessarily amend it so as to deprive it of its essential character, is an appendage and auxiliary to the greater measure which it accompanies."—( Hear, hear. )—The question being loudly called for, their Lordships divided— For the original motion— Content (present) 159 Not content (present) Majority in favour of the 2d reading 122 The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday next. 0 Adjournment at Half-past Eleven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(LAST NIGHT.) Mr. WARD presented a petition from the Graziers at tending Smithfield Market against certain clauses in the Bill for the removal of Smithfield Market. Mr. MOORE presented a petition from the Protestant* of Cork against the Catholic claima. Mr. BROWN LOW presented a petition from the PIT • sicians and Surgeons of Armagh, praying to be relieved from the persecutions to which they are at present expotsedr by being compelled to go to Dublin to be examined by the Court el Apothecaries, although they had previously take out their Degrees at Edinburgh and London. Mr. DAWSON presented a similar petition from the Surgeons and Physicians of Londonderry. There were 250 surgeons and physicians scattered through 1re130 3 9 under liability to the Apothecaries' Company. He believed the object of the Apothecaries' Company was to get the penalty annually front these individuals, and thus to pocket 5,0001. a year, and not prevent persons from compounding medicines. Ile was the more confirmed in this, been° the Apothecaries' Company sent certificates to these who paid the penalty without requiring them to stand Of examination. Lord LEVESON GOWER said, that a prima faci e case had been made ont to induce him to believe that the power of the Apothecaries' Company was not fairly axe' cued, and he should be meet happy to give every Welt' tion to the subject. Mr. DAWSON brought in a Bill to repeal the Zzei" Duty on Auctions. The LORD MAYOR expressed a hope' that e lay would be fixed for the second reading, in order that those parties who were interested might have an opportunity Of expressing their sentiments upon the manner in which it would affect their interests. Mr. DAWSON brought in a Bill to enable the Gl , ' verninent to carry into effect the Convention between Oh/ country and the King of Spain, fur the purpose of seem' in g payment of the claims of British eubjecte on Spain- Mr. M'LEOD presented' a petition from the Journey' men Silk Weavers of Sudbury, in the county of Suffolk, praying the House to take into consideration the present distressed state of the Silk Trade. • The LORD MAYOR presented a petition from the Hackney Coachmen of the Metropolis, praying the 1100 0 would take into their consideration the present mode of granting licenses to cebriolets.—The petition stated that, the present system of granting a great number of cabriee let licenses to one individual operated in the most o ppreee sive manner upon them, and they therefore trusted th e House would only allow one license to any person. Mr. HUME said, he was sorry the Chancellor Of the Exchequer was not in his place. The present 'Mein 0 jobbing in hackney coach licenses was most disgraceful, and he hoped some Member of the House would take ur. the subject. He knew it was common for one individu a l to obtain from 20 to 30 licenses, by which they wattle obtain a profit of 20/. per day, whilst the tinfortuee te coachman, who, perhaps, had a large family to cup' port, could not get a respectable living. In cabriole t, there was a complete monopoly. No licence ough t to be granted to one who would n o t d r i ve i t Maned' He hoped, as " Free Trade" was the order of the day, t he Right lion. President of the Board of Tiade would give this subject his attention, and not allow the present W u°. poly to be continued. The LORD MAYOR said nothing was more con: lo3° than for one individual to obtain ten cabriolet liceo t 7 and it was well known by each license they o bt a ined 1 0 " per year ; he sincerely trusted the monopoly would be den s away; it ought not to b e thrown into hands that made su ch an unfair profit of it, it ought to go to individuals. Mr. V. FITZGERALD said he had not received aoT particular information on the subject ; but the case wits 0 the present time under the consideration of the Chancen e : of the Exchequer, and he was sure, if it wax as represeete't he would think it his duty to propose an alteration. The petition was then ordered to be printed. Colonel SIBTHORPE, understanding that a Noble Lord opposite (the Chief Secretary for Ireland) bad post poned moving the grant for Maynooth College to so n e day after Easter, wished to know when he proposed bring ing it forward. Lord L. GOWER said, the first convenient day ■fir the holidays he intended bringing it under the considers' tion of the House. Colonel SIBTHORPE wished to know the particular grounds on:which he had postponed that vote to so un usual a time. order. The SPEAKER called the Gallant Officer to and the conversation dropped. Mr. V. FITZGERALD presented a petition froltrib, ribbon-manufacturers of Coventry, complaining of the de ' - pressed state of their trade, and praying interposition for their relief. He could conceive that some part of their. It presentations might be reasonable, but as it was intendea,, to enter into the subject at some length on Thursday he thought it unnecessary then to detain the House. The petition was ordered to be printed, after a felt words from Mr. FYLIA. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the brewers 'of Dundee, complaining of the present state of the laws affe! t ing the Beer Trade. • Mr. HUME presented a petition from the RontSo. Catholic inhabitants of Callan, praying that civil distOk' lilies affecting the Jews be repealed. Mr. CROKER obtained leave to bring in a Bill for OA.! better Jegulation of the Payment of Pensions to it!" Widows of Naval Officers. SUPPLY. Upon the motion of the CHANCEELLOIL of the Excilf" QUEIC, the House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider the matter of Supply. Tire Speaker having left the Chair— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, after . few observations, which were quite inaudible to us, mov e " that a sum not exceeding 22,5001. should be granted t° L . • his 31ajesty to make a compensation to the proprietors °I, • property in Bimcoolen for the loss which they had sustain & in consequence of the surrender of that settlement to the King of the Netherlands. Mr. HUME thought the sum voted by the Committe e quite inadequate to tepa) the loss which had been sustaine d by the settlers at Bencoolen. The House, perhaps, would allow him to state the circumstances under which these' tiers, to compensate whose losses this grant was now pre' posed to be made, had been induced to settle at Bencoolee• After the capture of the Molucca Islands, from whence was well known the Dutch had long maintained a moth poly in the spice trade, supplying the whole of Europe lit ' whatever price they chose, and, indeed, frequently raising.; that price to one or two thousand per cent., the:Englili b o . were anxious to establish a settlement of theie.noliniitt ()P.' der to compete with the Dutch, said to rethiCe the 00 d 6C

When this p lace had been determined on, a number of persons were al queed to settle themselves there, and to embark the whole of their PFeperty in the cultivation of spices, and more parti cularly of nutmegs, which, from the peculiar nature of the P la nt , is more expensive to cultivate than any other de ecriPtion of s pi ce , ta ki ng twelve or fifteen years to grow before it produces an y quan ti ty o f f ru i t . Th ese persons Would not have risked their property in this undertaking s but for th e solemn promises which they had received ' r °te the Government of assistance and protection, and of remuneration in ease their endeavours should prose un alete4f4l. Und er th ese c i rcumstances an d w i t h t h ese as olttees the perso ns w h o went to B encoo l en were i n d uce d Ho lay out l arge sums of money ; but I will leave the c °u se to judge of their situation and feelings when, after °jug laid out 300,0001., they found that the Covet n- Thent had deserted them, and had reverted to the monopoly o f the Molucca islands, surrendering the settlement of Reneoolen to the King of the Netherlands. He (Mr. Alittle) considered it, therefore, the bounden duty of the s fiver nment to m a k e a f u ll an d amp l e compensat i on to t h e tulivid ua l s whom they had deluded. It had been admitted uy the Board of Trade that a total loss of property had tal tiu - place. B y a valuation in 1821 the property in the Irt ettlement was estimated at 80,000/. ; but in 1825, when Wits transferred, it was found to have increased in value to 130,000/. He called upon Government to fulfil the P i ! e dge given to him in that House by the late Mr. Cort ina... • , sad , , in conclusi on , h a d on l y t o say th a t, un l ess th e Can grade Proposed were made, he should consider the Go vernment as having been guilty of a deliberate robbery. M.rl S YKES agr ee d i n op i n i on w i t h th e H on . M em b er 1 7 Aberdeen, and expressed his decided concurrence in the view which he had taken on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It was toe that th e treaty had been negociated by the late Mr. Ca nning, and that that able statesman had assured the Hon. Member that a fair compensation should be made to the settlers for any lose which might be occasioned by any act ° i f . the Government. It was now found to be exceedingly ( 1 : 1 %cult to ascertain what the actual amount of loss has In but, at a ll events, h e t h oug h t t h e country was b oun d L° Mak e' uP more than the loss which had been sustained ti Z de , r ,ftnY provisions of the treaty, and which he believed b: u „" 1 he met by the amount of the grant now proposed " o e•Committee. After a few words from Mr. HUME, which we did not di ttiactly catch, L ord GRAHAM said, that Sir Stamford Raffles, who had been appointed to inquire into the losses of the settlers, 444 Who had made a statement generally supposed to be nteedingly favourable to them, said that 60,0001 would sufficient to compensate them for all their losses. kr. W. WYNN did not understand that the settlers CrZe entitled to a full co m p ensa ti on f o r an y l osses w hi c h 12 — h e i ' 4 44 have sustained ; on the contrary, h e h a d alw a ys 0 - o ; e rMoOd that they could n e v e r h a ve a n y c l a i m on th e eminent further than for losses sustained under the tre i i i t t alluded to. °tr. HUME thought that, both in equity and in fairness, ZeY Would hav e d one no more t h an t h ey oug h t to h ave "" rt e if they had awarded a compensation for the whole kotount of the loss. The queation that 22,500/. be granted was then put and tarried. In The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, iRI (wing for the vote which he was about to put to tin 11 " W, was desirous of offering some explana ti with regard to it ; and relative to the appointment ti_Ze commissions of inquiry into the claims of Spain s t' this country and of this country upon th P l in• It had been originally proposed by Spain that i•A n 'a claims should be submitted to the arbitration of two -"tilviduals, one of whom was to be a Spaniard, the other „ 4 Englishman, and, if any difference arose between them ila diff erence was to be determined by lot. But the t t ish Commi ss i oners re f use d t h e i r assent to suc h a mode J ri 'oceeding, and all negociatione were for a time laid 4 -4 '. A compromise was, however, subsequently en into. The question which involved the vote which : nous. w ou ld b e ca ll e d upon t o g i ve was as t o th e j us t v 4l Pensation of the claims made by Spain upon our Go 'ene-tent under that compromise, Now, the valid claims 1214 de by this country upon Spain amounted to 616,0001„ t he doubtful claims to 318,0001., and the bad claims, T he were o f c ou rse a lt oge th er re j ec t e d, t o 1,134 , 00 0 1 . t , sum of 616,0001. was, therefore, the wh o l e o f th e %ni l decided to be valid. The treaty, however, pro °i`ltd that Spain should pay over or become answerable 7 the sum of 032,0001., in order to cover the doubtful the many of which might he proved to be ood. Now, ticlaims of Spain on the British Government was '° o ,ooo/. ; b ut o f t h at sum a c l a i m o f 2 00,000 1 . on l y waa declared to be valid. It had been determined that this " 1 M of 20 0,000/. should be taken out of the instalments . the sum to be paid by Spain. The House would, he ought, see that the arrangement was just and advanta geous to this country. He believed all the parties inte rested in the matter were perfectly satisfied with it. He had, th ere f ore, to propose that " a sum of 200,000/. be granted to his Majesty with his to fulfil a convention entered into Catholic Maje s t y , b ear ing date the 28th October, 1828 , for the settlement of British claims upon Spain, and Spanish claims upon England." Mr. A. BARING observed, that the Right Hen. Gen tleman had not informed the House as to the precise nature ° ftlse claims of Spain upon England, but he would take them to be well-grounded claims, and, if no, the indivi duals who possessed those claims would have reason to h~.plain if t h ey were t rans f erre d f rom t hi s country to thr own Gorernnaent, if the King of Spain were made their debtor instead of the kingdom of England, notorious ty that King was as not being very remarkable for the Nulty of his arrangements. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in all taties a Government must be supposed to have the inte 'Nt of the subject at heart. A After a few observations from Mr. A. BARIN G , Si r T. 'extAND, Mr. Hume, Mr. ROBINSON, and Mr. MA gttty, The resolution was agreed to. The House then resumed. The report was read, and ;ittlered to b e rea d a seco nd time t o -m orrow , an d t h e same 'altnittee appointed to sit again on Wednesday. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. Score private Bills were brought down from the Lords. A Mr. Secretary PEEL gave notice that on Tuesday, L _Pril 14,, he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to 'oprove the police of the metropolis. The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought op. ° l l the resolution that the sum of 10,5521. be granted I he Prote s tant Charter Schools of Ireland, tb. Air • HUME understood that the consideration of all grant s of this class would be deferred until after Easter. h l ' ° rd F. L. GOWER said that, in answer to a question 0t he H on . M em b er f or M a ll ow some d ays s i nce , h e ~, stated that the cons id era ti on o f th ree gran t s res p ec ti ng mil leation in Ireland, regareing which there was a differ e''ee of opinion in the House, would be deferred until after Oster. The three grants were for the Society for the suppression of Vice, the Kildare-street Society, and May eaoth College. As to the grant to the Protestant Charter thools he had not anticipated any opposition to it. Mr. HUME said his object was reduction. ti kr. S ecre t ary PEEL t h ought i t h a d b een agree d t h at t ! cha r t er sc h oo l s s h ou l d b e a b o li s h e d as soon as t h e upon the establishments should be provided for. this was still the intention of Government, and he thought ere was no necessity for going into a Committee upon e grant. I le CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that ,t rain of the schools were already abolished. T he resol u ti ons were severa lly agree d t o . T he Order of the Day being read, for the further consi- I:ration of the supply voted to his Majesty for the pay et't of pensions in Ireland, air, HUME objected to the pension granted to Mr. th: l Ltrlt Carmichael Smith as a retired Paymaster from t h e . z•reliequr Bill-office after thirteen years service, on , a e ground that Mr. Smith was only forty years of age and t eeble of service. The Hon. Member also objected to otl e ) Pensions propo se d to b e g iv e n to th e insp ec tors and er Of f iters of the Linen Board in Ireland. A fter a f ew wor d s f rom t h e CHANCELLOR of the Ex "tt BROWXLOW, and Mr. G.

Member who had spoken last • , .74 , ,..c . 4 , ; • • ' had so great an objeciion to granting pecuniary assistance to the Church of Eiit;l mil in Cm el.}. Mr. J. DENISON did not obji.ct to the grant of money to support the Church of England in Canadi, but he hoped that the support would not be given exclusively to that Church. . _ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that there was nothing in the amount of the present grant from which the members of :any other church could feel any jealousy. The fact was, that the society to which the grant was to be made now had for a long time supported, out of their own funds, a body of Mis sionaries in that country, from pure motives of charity, and to diffuse the principles of religious education ; and the passing of a grant of money in the way now pro posed was calculated better than any other means for pro ducing the greatest quantity of pecuniary assistance from other quarters. Mr. TRANT was induced to say a few words in con sequence of the tone of approbation in which the Hon. Member for Aberdeen talked of what he called the great work which had been lately effected in regard to Ireland. This declaration of the lion. Member for Aberdeen in duced him (Mr. Trant) to regard with suspicion his move ment in reference to the Church of England in other parte of the world. He was at a loss to understand the grounds of the Hon. Member's assertion in this vote, or why it was that he recommended that the amount was to be par ticipated in by other bodies. This society. consisted of a great many dignitaries of the Church, and how could it be expected that they should propagate any other form of Christianity than that which they professed ? He should watch narrowly the proceedings of the Hon. Member, be cause he thought that he discovered in him an inclination to discourage as much as possible the Church of England in the colonies. He had no objection to granting support to the church of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, (the Presbyterian we believe.) But be must protest against the principle that the Church of England was to be dis couraged in the colonies. Mr. ROBINSON was of opinion that there existed in the colonies a very general want of religious instruction, and he would remind Mr. Hume that it had been the ex pressed opinion of the Dissenters themselves in Canada, that the granting of pecuniary aid was of the greatest ad• vantage to the propagation of religion in that country. The Hon. Member supported the grant. Mr. HUME said that he did not wish to discourage the church of England, but he did not wish to see large sums laid out upon it to the exclusion of the churches which were as laboriously employed in propagating the principles of religion. In Nova Scotia 7,0001. a year was given to the clergy of the church of England, whilst twenty•five Presbyterian clergymen bad only 1501. a year, 50/. of which they got from the Government and 1001. from a society in Glasgow. This was not putting the two reli• gions upon equal terms. After a few words from Mr. STUART WORTLEY the motion was agreed to. Upon the question, that 163,000/. be granted for de fraying the expense of improving the water-carriage be tween some parts of North America, Lord SANDON asked Sir George Murray to state to the House the nature of the scheme of administration which he intended to pursue in the Canadas. Evils of long growth existed in that country, and required the most serious attention of Government. Sir G. MURRAY agreed in what had been said by the Noble Lord, that the evils of Canada grew from seeds which had been long since sown in that country.— But this circumstance rendered it more incumbent upon the Government to proceed with caution in the measure to be adopted. Since the report which had been made last year he had been in assiduous communication with the governors of that country, and he hoped to be able in the course of the present Session to lay before Parliament a plan for the administration of that colony, which would have the effect of reconciling opposite interests and restor ing to this country the affections of the colonists. What was principally wanted was information ; and this want would, he hoped, very soon be fully supplied. All he could say at present was, that matters looked better than they had done for a long time, feelings of unkindness were abating, and the ground was laid for the erection of a better system. Mr. J. DENISON should be deserting his duty if he did not call upon the Secretary for the Colonies to give, in answer to the Noble Lord (Sandon), a more explicit deve lopement of the principles by which his colonial policy would be in future conducted. He should at the same time say that the conduct of the Right Hon. Gent. since he had come into office was such u to entitle him to the thanks of the country. He (Mr. Denison) had always rated in support of the grants for the support of the mili tary defences of the colonies ; but he thought that a patri otic, able, mad public-spirited Minister in the Colonial Office would do more to preserve the tranquillity of the colony than all the regiments which could •he raised— such a Secretary as they now had, and he had no doubt that the greatest advantages would follow from his ad ministration.—(Hear, hear.) Sir G. MURRAY said, that when the subject was formerly introduced incidentally, he had given the pledge which he now repeated, namely, that he had the strongest desire to forward a system of Administration upon the report which had been presented. The great want, how ever, under which he laboured was the want of infor mation ; and this, he believed, would very soon be at an and.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. lIUME said that the people of Canada had been very improperly treated. He concluded by opposing the grant. After a few words from Mr. S. WORTLEY and Mr. Maas:m.l' it was agreed to. On the question that 160,000/. be voted for civil con tingencies, Mr. HUME objected to the item of 20,000/. as extra allowance to foreign Ambassadors. It would appear as if 'here were to be separate outfits every year for some of the Ambassadors. There was also a charge of 7,600/. for chapel plate for Demerara, Berbice, and Sierra Leone. The Hon. Member went on to complain of the expense incurred for the jackets of the trumpeters and hautboys of the Life Guards. The whole of these gewgaws cost 5,9001. When so much money was spent on such things we ought to be a eery wealthy people. He hoped that the time would come when we should get rid of this frippery. The Hon. Member then proceeded to complain of the Royal yachts costing between 20,000/. and 30,000/. a year,;;ol grants for robes and collars for Knights of several orders; of 5,000/. for the entertainment of Don Miguel ; of 6351. for lighting St. James's Park; of 3,000/. for watering the streets of Whitehall; of 3,682/. for the com mission to the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius ; of the fens payable on Commissioners of the Board of Controul being appointed, saying that the office ought not to be political ; 3,6261. being paid to Mr. Plate for work done under the orders of the Commissioners for Weights and Measures ; of the expense attending the at tendance of witnesses, &c. at the Penryn disfranchise. ment Bill ; of 1,35/1/. being granted for the support of Crown Slaves in Demerara ; and finally, of the grout of 17,000/. for payments in Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that with respect to the diplomatic expences every exertion was snaking to reduce them as low as possible. With respect to the service of plate for Sir F. Lamb, on his appointment to the Lisbon Embassy, that was a charge which would not again appear, as a service was now appointed for each place where we find an Ambassador, instead of, as for • merly, each Ambassador receiving a service for himself.— The grant for the clothing of the drummers and trumpet ers of the King's band was not so extravagant as the Hen. Member for Montrose seemed to think, when it was recollected that this 4,0001. was to clothe and provide in struments for the band for three years. The charge for the Royal yachts was larger than usual, as the William and Mary, one of the ♦essels stationed at Dublin, had become so old as to be unfit for service, so that it was ne cessary to fit up the Rvyal Surereiyn to supply its place. With respect to the lighting of the parks that was snore a matter of police, and for the gratification of the public, than for the gratification of the sovereign, and those who lived in the neighbourhood could testify that offences in the park had been much diminished by the gas lights having been placed there. The grant for watering Whitehall was for the payment of the arresr of a former year, the regular annual charge for whirls the public offices were liable coming under the care of the Board of Works. With respect to the commission to the East, he could only say, that the Commissioners had finished their labours at the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius, and one of them had now proceeded to Ceylon to inquire into the administration of that colony. The commission to the West Indies had also nearly brought its labours to a close. With respect to what had fallen from the Hon. Member relative to the Board of Controul he thought it necessary, for the good of India, that the indivi dual at the head Of that Board should be a Cabinet Minister, and, of course, that his views should be seconded by the rest of the Cabinet. This made it absolutely necessary that it should be a political office. With respect to the fees in the account they were greater than usual on account of the frequent changes that hail some time back taken place in the' administration. The Crown Negroes could not be turned adrift, as many of them were unable to pro vide for themselves, but exertions were making to reduce the expense of muintainiig them. With respect to the grant for Ireland it had ariters from the necessity of giving the hospitals some assistance on account of the fever which broke out there in 1827. The Resolution was then agreed to. A grant of 700,0001. was then proposed for the Army Extraordinaries.—Agreed to. The Report of the Committee of Supply of the 16th of March was brought up and read. The Resolutions of the Committee were agreed to by the House, after one or two objections from Mr. Hu 31E. The Reports of the Committee upon the Acts regulat ing Madhouses was brought up and read. Mr. NUDE thought that the payment of the Commis sioners recommended in the Report should not be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund, but that an assessment should be levied upon the establishments themselves. . _ Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said, that it was doubtful whether the establishments could pay. The smaller establishments were not those which they wished to put down. NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES. Sir GEORGE :HURRAY moved the second reading of the Newfoundland Fisheries' Bill. Mr. ROBINSON said that when this subject was be fore the House last year he gave notice of his intention of moving for a Select Committee to take into consideration the general state of the Colony, and before which he ex pected to have been able to bring evidence that would put the House in possession of such information as would en able it beneficially to legislate for that colony, which hail no legislature of its own. The present measure was for the renewal of certain Bills, which had been tried for five years, and the House should not rashly proceed to re enact them without hearing evidence as to the feelings and wishes of the people themselves. He wished strongly to recommend the appointment of a Committee of Inquiry. He was glad to observe that a better system was beginning to prevail in the government of the colony. The Hon. Gentleman dwelt:at considerable length upon the impor tance and value of the Colony of Newfoundland, and ex pressed his apprehension that if the Bills were then agreed to no committee of inquiry would hereafter be consented to by the House. He had no objection that the Bills should be renewed for one year, provided that he had some pledge that in the next session of Parliament a committee of inquiry would be agreed to. They were especially bound to respect the interests of the people of Newfound laud, seeing that they had no representatives in that House. -After a few words from Sir oEORCE MURRAY and Mr. HUME, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to he committed to-morrow. Sir GEORGE MURRAY moved the second reading of the Swan River Settlement Bill. After a few words from Mr. HUME, Sir GEORGE MUR.• RAT, and Mr. H. Twiss, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Lord LOWTHER moved the third reading of the Com pensation Monies' Bill, which was agreed to, and the Bill passed. Upon the motion of the CHANCELLOR bf the EXCHE QUER, the Annual Inuernnity Bill was read a third time and passed. Upon the motion of Mr. KENNEDY, the Scotch Tailzies Bill was also read a second time, and ordered to be commit ted on Monday next. Mr. S. WORTLEY moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Game Bill. Mr. LEYCESTER thought that this Bill, if it should pass, would serve rather to increase than to diminish the number of poachars, as, by rendering game more valuable, it would increase the temptation to obtain it. He thought, therefore, that it would be productive of no good unless some means were adopted for the regulation of preserves. As the Bill stood at present, he thought it would be pro ductive of benefit to the poacher rather than otherwise, and that technically speaking, he would soon drive a ga►ns-cart through it. Mr. LOCKHART, although the Bill was not exactly what he could have wished, thought it would be well to try the experiment of whether, by creating a competition be tween the poacher and the fair dealer, the public would support the latter and forsake the former, by that means ren dering his trade so unprofitable as not to be worth pursuing. Upon the motion of Mr. S. WORTLEY, the House then resolve,l itself into a committee to consider the clauses of the Bill. Several verbal amendments baying been agreed to, the House resumed, the report was received, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Friday. The House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. Yesterday having been appointed by Mr. HALLS for a second inquiry respecting the ownership of an emerald ring, alleged to have been presented by Lord Audley to Miss Eliza Levy, the parties appeared before the above named Magistrate in one of the private rooms. Air. Scotland, a barrister, stated that he appeared for Mr. Neumegen, who had claimed the ring in question as one which he had had in his possession for the last year and a half. His client, however, begged to be understood as not meaning to prefer any charge either against Mr. Levy, jun., or any other person. He was merely deli. rous !hat the affair should be sifted to the bottom, not only for the Hake of public justice, but for the credit and cha racter of the seminary over which he presided. Mr. Harmer said that Mr. Levy was equally anxious that the matter should be properly explained. Mr. HALLS observed, that the parties at both sides had evinced a little more warmth than was necessary, and he hoped that nothing would be said but what was necessary to ascertain the precise facts of the case. Mr. Harmer then observed, that his client, Mr. Levy, had shown every disposition, from the first moment, to afford every information in his power respecting the ring which Mr. Neumegen had claimed as his. ' Mr. HALLS-If Mr. Levy become possessed of the ring improperly, it certainly does seem extraordinary that lie should have gone with it on his finger to Mr. Neu megen's house, and show it to that gentleman, with the observation, " Perhaps this is the ring you have lost." Mr. Scotland said, that Mr. Neumegen, upon finding that the ring was his, immediately asked Mr. Levy how he had become possessed of it, to which Mr. Levy an swered, that his sister had had it from his father, who had received it from from Lord Audley. Mr. Neumegen, upon this, immediately wrote to his Lordship about it, and received for answer that lie (Lord Audley) had reason to believe or know that the ring in question was not the one which lie had presented to Miss Levy. Mr. Harmer said, that a good deal had been said about the value of the ring ; now he had ascertained that i❑ point of fact it was not worth more than 10s. Mr. Scotland replied, that it was not the value of the ring which Mr. Neumegen was so anxious about, but the character of his school. Mr. Scotland.—lt is perfectly clear that this is not the ring presented by Lord Audley to Miss Levy. Mr. Harmer. —I must repeat, in answer to that re mark, my firm conviction that it is the identical ring. Mr. llALLs.—That is the very point which we are anxious to ascertain. Mr. Harmer.—lt is quite impossible that the Levy's could have been mistaken ; besides Lord Audley stated it was just such a ring as he had given to Miss Levy. Now it appears that the ring had been for a fortnight in the pos session of Lady Audley, who had worn it on her finger. I should wish of all things that her ladyship were present to speak to its identity. Mr. HALLS said that Lord Audley had waitad upon him on Friday last, and showed him a letter from Lady Audley, who was in the country, stating that one of their children was very ill, in consequence of which her Lady ship would be unable to attend the next examination.— His Lordship requested therefore that the further hearing of the matter should be postponed for a week or fortnight.— At the same time, continued Mr. Halls, his Lordship told me that the ring which he had seen was not the one he had given to Miss Levy. Mr. Harmer—His Lordship's denial of that fact renders the presence of Lady Audley doubly requisite, for she hail had the ring in her possession, and no doubt could at once identify it. Mr. Scotland said he did not see any necessity for the attendance of Lady Audley. Mr. Clarke, from whom Lord Audley declared he had purchased the ring, was now pre sent, and ready to prove that this is not the ring which his Lordship had bought of him. Mr. Clarke accordingly stepped forward, and having been shown the ring in dispute, declared at once that it was nothing like the ring which he had sold Lord Audley. He never sold his Lordship a ring with a green stone in it. Mr. Harmer.—Yet Lord Audle y declared hero that the ring which he bought of Mr. Clarke had a green stone in it, and that the ring which he gave to Miss Levy was one of that description. Mr. Clarke—The ring which J. sold to Lord Audley was an antique ring, similar to those which I now hold in my hand, and of which the value is about l Os. each. Mr. TIALLs—It would appear from this that Lerd And ley has completely blundered with respect to the descrip tion of the ring which he bought of Mr. Clarke and gave to Miss Levy Mr. Harmer—There is a young lady now present, Miss Cohen, who is willing to be sworn to the fact, that Miss Levy received the ring from Lord Audley. If this ring be the property of Mr. Neutnegen, I should be glad to hear him state when and from where he bought it. Mr. Neumegen applied to Mr. Halls to say whether he would be justified in answering that question at present. M. HALLS—I think you are perfectly right to decline answering that question in the absence of Lady Audley. Mr. Harmer to Mr. Clarke—Do you think it likely that this ring, from the appeararwe it presents, could have been worn for a year and a half?—Mr. Clarke—l think it has not been in use more than six months at the most. Mr. Harmer—Without meaning to say, or even insi nuate, that Mr. Neumegen has not lost a ring, I firmly believe that this ring has never been his. Mr. Neumegen declared that the ring was his, and said he thought it very strange that Mr. Levy should have said that his sister had the ring ft:GM her father. Mr. HALLS said - that Miss Levy had parted with the ring to her brother, and he (Mr. Halls) conceived that the manner in which she had received the ring might have induced her to suppose that it had been given to her father and not to herself. Mr. Harmer—My client, Mr. Levy, still persists in declaring that the ring is not the property of Mr. Neu megen. Mr. Magnus—Even admitting that to be the case, you are still in the possession of a ring which you do not ac count for. • Mr. Harmer denied that such was the fact. Mr. Clarke said that Lord Audley had been at his house respecting the ring since the first examination, and had ascertained that the ring which he had purchased was of a different description from the one now produced. Mr. Harmer.—What could you make such a ring as this for? Mr. Clarke answered, for about Its. A Mr. Young, a jeweller, in the Strand, declared that the value of such a ring was two guineas. It was very little worn indeed. Mr. Harmer—How long do you suppose it to have bees worn ? Mr. Young—About six months. Mr. Harmer—And yet Mr. Neumegen declared that he had two witnesses who saw him wear it daily for a year and a half. Mr. Neumegen said, that although he had the ring in his possession for a year and a half, he had not worn it constantly for that time, nor had he ever stated that he had. Sometimes he had left it off for months together. Mr. HALLS—I do not think we are likely at present to come to a satisfactory conclusion, and I think Mr. Har mer would do well to correspond with Lord Audley upon the subject, as he is the party who feels himself called upon to produce Lady Audley as a witness. In the mean time, let the case stand adjourned for a fortnight. The parties then retired. THE G .THOLIC QUESTION.

AFFECTIONATE AND SAGACIOUS GOOSE. --Mr. BURNETT, Craigellachie Inn, Elgin, has a goose, nearly a year old that has formed so strong an attachment towai ds him, as to follow him to any distance, and through the crowds and bustl of High-street. A few days since the kindly animal f o ll owe d hi m d own the street, and into a hair dresser's sh o p, w h ere i t patiently waited until its master was sh ave d, a f ter w hi c h i t acco mpanied him on another visit int o t h e s h op o f a f r i en d, an d then proceeded home with him cheek by jowl. The goose is so well acquainted with Mr. BURNETT that it readily recognises him in whatever dress he may appear. It even knows his voice when he is not to he seen, and no sooner does be speak than it responds to him in its own unintelligible dialect—a dialect pretty much resembling the oratory of a Weidman when he attempts to spout with a hot potatoe in his Cosier. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 7, 1899. The Duke of WILLLINGTON moved last night the Order of the Day for the Second Reading of the Disfranchisement Bill. In doing so, he pointed out, with much force and perspicuity, the absurd incon veniences of the laws that at present regulate the Irish County Elections, and addressed himself so con vincingly to the reason and feelings of his audience as to obtain a triumphant majority of 122 in favour of his proposed measure. The Earl of WINCHILSEA of course opposed the Bill in a speech remarkable for its rambling, desultory, and eccentric character. Transported with a patriotic indignation resulting from the memorable issue of the debate on Saturday night, his Lordship hinted his intention of never again setting foot in the House of Peers—an intention which will, we doubt not, occasion serious uneasiness to all those numerous Peers who have been in the habit of admiring the Noble Earl's great sobriety of judgment, une qualled liberality, and singular richness of elo quence. In the House of Commons little of in terest or moment occurred. A short debate took place on the subject of the cabriolet licenses, in which Mr. HUMS took the opportunity of commenting freely on the great abuses that took place with re spect to the granting of such licenses. We are at all times enemies to monopoly, whether it be of an extensive or limited character, and shall be glad to see the question of.:these licenses properly discussed, and the licenses themselves inquired into with the strictest scrutiny. The Speech of General JACKSON, the new Presi dent of the United States, is characterized by a tone of moderation and good sense, sitigularly at variance with all we have ever heard recorded of the defender of New Orleans. Report has made him out a sort of Ultra Republican, but his Inaugural Address bears a far different impress. The soldier is scarcely, if at all visible in its spirit : the staid sober gravity of the citizen is its predominant quality. It is well worth an attentive perusal, if only for the excellent and discriminating sense that pervades the following sentence :—" With foreign nations it will be my study to preserve peace, and to cultivate friendship on fair and honourable terms; and, in the adjustment of any difference that may exist or arise, to exhibit the forbearance becoming a powerful nation, rather than the sensibility belonging to a gallant people." The following extract is from the Allgemeine Zeilung of the 31st ult., received this morning:— FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, MARC!! 11. Very unfavourable rep arts are circulated in Belgrade respecting the state of the capital. The scarcity of provi sions is said to be very great ; the Foreign Ambassadors caused bread to be daily distributed among the poor, in order to alleviate the distress as far as lies in their power. Persons are appointed to watch ever the bakers, that no more flour may be consumed than the Government thinks absolutely necessary. But all these measures can hardly avert the danger which threatens Constantinople, and every letter that comes from that city is opened with ap prehension. The exile of several thousand Greeks and Jews has no effect, considering the vast population of the capital, hut to plunge these unhappy persons into the greatest misery. Subscriptions in money are raised for their relief, and the Jewish community at Belgrade takes very active measures to relieve its unfortunate brethren. To these alarming accounts are added those of very threaten ing preparations making by the Russians in Little Wallachia, and of their connection with the Servian chiefs, which ren ders an invasion of Servia by the Russians probable. The dis trust which the Turks feel of the Servians accordingly increases daily, though the richer classes among the latter ought not to wish far any change; and it can hardly be expected that any advantage can accrue to the country from the entrance of a foreign army. Many persons think that Widdin will be merely blockaded, uud that a Russian corps, advancing into Servia • will be employed to threaten the Turkish positions in the Balkan, simultane ously with the advance of the main army. . Howeeerhold such a plan may seem, there ;cream to believe that the Russians have it in contemplation. The subsistence of the troops would indeed be more easy in Servia than in any other provinces of the Ottoman empire; yet the great extent of such a line of operations in a country-inter cepted by mountains and rivers, in which there are seve ral strong fortresses, appears to be very dangerous for the ass u lants, if the main attack is not made on this side.

PIESBYTERY OF EDINBURGH. (Abridged fora the Edinburgh Evening antrant of Thursday.) THE CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Yesterday the Presbytery of Edinburgh tett pursuant to adjournment, to consider the motion laid sat the table at last ordinary meeting by Dr: Lee. The anxiety to bear the discussion was so great that many persons took their seats shortly atter ten o'clock, and long before tht , , bOur of meeting (neon) the Trustees' Hall was rros.vded in ever•; part—the members of Presbytery finding the greatest pos sible difficulty in gaining admi,sion, several having to make their way over the tab'es Dr. LEE—I proceed under every possible dieeourage meat to make thn motion of which I gate notice last Wednesday. 'Nothing but a conviction that lam actirt vonsiatsntly with my duty as a member of the Established Church would have induced me to del art so far from my usual habits, as to occupy any considerable portion of the time of the Presbytery, especially with a proposition which I have learned is unwelcome to many of my brtthren. It may he s tid that the scales of prejudice are not fallen f. om my eyes, and that I am far behind the age;—hut I hope that those who have scarcely yet read the standards which they must subscribe before they obtain a title. to teach others, will not be rash to speak of statute as disgraced by proscription and exclusion, till they have ascertained whether the principles to which terms of such unmeasured reprobation have been applied--he or be not contained in the Confession of Faith. To the framers of that great work I yield much greater deference than to the proudest land brightest of the names, either or the living or the dead, which are so vountingly mustered against us, Surely it cannot well be alleged that the opreFitiot how offered to this meature originates in faction. Those who are dissatisfied with it express themselves hot more strongly than the leading men in the Cabinet did seven or eight months ago ; and we do not petition for any thing more than this Presbytery did in 1813. In what respect lb our circumstances differ from those in which the Presbytery then petitioned ?—Daly in two, so far as I perceive :- Ist, The Bill now proposed is less favourable, having less Q,ppearance of security—And 2dly, -the Ministry are now sletermined to use all their influence to carry through such a Bill as was never proposed by any one, at td much less as a Government measure. What is the new light which they have received ? Terror they will not own ; trait they say there is danger. If the thing be right it should have been done before there was any appearance of danger ; if wrong, danger is tin excuse. I therefore move, that the Presbytery do petition Pariiament, that the Roman Catholic Relief Bill do not pass into a law. Dr. GORDON seconded the motion. Dr. INGLIs moved, by way of " That in all the circumstances of the case it is inexpedient for the Presbytery to petition Parliament either for or against the measure in question." Sir JAsles MONCRIEFF-1 beg leave to second this amendment. - Dr. CIIALMEI3 then rise and spoke as follows:—It - appears to me that tire spirit of the first ages of the Church is in direct opposition to the cry of the present times. The powers that be are said to be ordained of God, and yt these powers were heathen. Magistrates are called mi &eters of God, and thet at a time when there was not Christian, and far less a Protestant Magistrate in existence. Tribute was enjoined to be paid, though it swelled the magnificence and the means of an idolatrous sovereign, and who might, if he had chosen, have lavished it cn the ex peaces of idolatry. Those things which in our day would have given rise to the fiercest contention, and to questions without number of theological casuistry, were, in the best and purest days of the Church of God upon earth, acqui esced in without a struggle and without a murmur. There were Christian servants who attended on the person, and Christian proprietors who ministered to the wealth, ar.d e"en Christian solditte 3 who fought the battles of the Em perors. In short, they gave up all but their conscience and their faith to the will of idolatrous masters. Idolatry, they all well knew, disqualified from holding eny oftitee in the Church, but it never once entered their imagination that idolatry disqualified from an office in the State. The Apostle Paul would not, I am persuaded, have lent his authority and his name to the enforcement of eueh a disqualification. He would not have aided in com passing the deposition of Nero, even for the substitution of a Christian in his room. He would have kept within the strict es:mits of his ecclesiastical office, and never aimed at Chrietianizing the Government in any other way than by doing with Nero what he did with some of Nero's house hold—turning them to the faith. Whatever may be the right of citiaene—and I do not question it—to pull a tyrant front his throne, he never, in his ecclesiasticii capacity, would have put his hand to other than ecclesiastical -work ; that is, plied men with the overtures of the gospel es he had opportunity. To this the Christians of the primitive ages confined themselves; and by this they at kngth effected the Christianization of the empire. The principles and practice of the early ages are abundantly re cognised in our Confession of Faith, as will appear feom the following extract :—" It is the duty of people to pray for Magistrates, to honour their persons, to pay them tri bute anti other dues, to obey their lawful commands, and to be subject to the'r authority for conscience sake."— Now, mark what follows Infidelity, or difference in religion, (loth not make void the Magistrate's just and legal authority, nor free the people from their due obedience to him, from which ecclesiastical persons are not exempted ; much less bath the Pope any power or jurisdiction over them in their dominions, or over any of their dominions or liv e s, or if he shall judge them to be heretics, or upon any tither pretence wlettever." Now, the principle on which a man ought not to be sttipt of his lawful possessions is identicel with the principle on which he ought not to be resisted in his lawful claims. And whoever are judges of that lawfulness, we are not. It is a civil question, and not for us as a Church to decide upon. When the Papists were held dangerous to libezty, the Legislature shut them nut from certain privileges which they now restore on holding them to be no longer dangerous. If neither infi delity nor difference in religion, but something different from these was the proper ground on which they were dispossessed, they should that ground be removed, infi delity or difference in religion is not the proper ground on which they should be excluded. I speak in the very terms of the Confession of Faith. If other principles do not justify deprivation, then religioe is no mere a valid plea for stripping a man of his rightful power, than it is for stripping him of his rightful property; and whether the question relates to the one or the other, the language of the Chorale of Christ should be that of its Founder, " Who made me a judge and a divider over you?" Yet we are accused of having put aside principle, and rested our whole cause on the basis of expediency. Now, we hold the difference between us and our antagonists to be this. In regard to principle, we can plead the declarations of the New Testament and the early practice of the Church ; and, in regard to expediency, ours is a public, und theirs is altogether a personal expediency. The outset of our cause is in principle; its outgoings only are in ex pediency ; and what a much higher expediency than that of our antagonists ? We hold that this dreaded emancipation will open a wide and effectual door for the entrance of the Gospel into Ireland. That is one expediency. Our antagonists hold, that the same emancipation will not, in the least, hurt the cause of the gospel, but by means of persecution, which in general purifies and s trengthens the cause of truth, will hart the ease, and the comfort, and endanger the lives of those who profess the gospel in Britain That is their expediency. It is a fear for themselves, and not a fear for the interests of the gospel, by which they are ac tic ; for, amid all this care, which the Church pro poets to take of the government, one would like to knew Low the matter stood in the Church's purest and most I flourishing period, I mean during the three first centuries. One might imagine, from the alarm now abroad on so many spirits, that, because of certain political changes about to be entered on, the Church was now on the brink of instant annihilation, and the alarm is, lest the country should fall under the power of an idolatrous government. Now, let us suppose for a moment this apprehension to be . in all its extent realised, it were surely inter eating to know hew the Church might possibly fare in these circumstances, and it would appear the likeliest method of ascertaining this just to revert to that period in the Church's history when all the governments of the earth were idolatrous, and the Emperors of idolatrous Rome were the fountain-heads of all that civic authority which Christians had to do with. If it be really a religious fear which is making these alarmists so tremulously alive to the changes that are com ing upon us, -if after all, it be some thing holier and higher than a sordid fear for their persons and properties, if in stead of a carnal affection for their own private interests, it he a spiritual and sacred affection far the high interests of truth and righteousness in the world ; it should surely yield them some comfort to be told that never did the Church more prosper, and never did the Church's right and peculiar business go on more prosperously than when all the high places of society were filled with idolaters, and the sove reigns of the earth, besides being idolatrous despots, were the greatest monsters the world ever saw. This content poraneous existence of a moat Christian Church, along with a moat unchristian government, is worthy at least of being noticed by those who are now charging themselves with the regulation of the one as if that were indispen sable to the well-being of the other. It may well prompt the misgiving thought that possibly after all they are look ;ng and labouring in tile wrong way, an] that the vital prosperity of the Church comes from another quarter alto gether, than that whither their cares and cogitations are now carrying them. It may well beget the suspicion that there is perhaps a misjudgment and misdirection of effort and zeal in this whole matter. Certain it is that neither apostles nor apestolie run took the direction which they are now thing. They never thought of Kings and of GoVernors but to pray for them ; and !caring states and statesmen, and all the elements of this world behind them, confined themselves to their own high and holy walk of labouring with the souls and consciences of men. Yet they have never thought of charging themselves, they only charge us with the sacrifice of principle at the shrine of expediency. Now we hold, that though there be the highest expediency attendant on the Catholic emancipation, there is also the highest principle involved in it. And the principle is, that we are not to fight the battles of the Lord with other weapons than himself has consecrated. After comet:v - sting, at some length, the arguments of intolerance, the Rev. Gentleman proceeded as follows : In the great changes that take place on human opinion, men do not generally repeal the acts and the documents of other days. They simply lose sight of them. They are carv=ed forward on the tide of change, and the creeds and - Constitutions of by-gone times rank among the forgotten things that have no influence whatever on the actual gene ration. Yet I can inltge to myself an antiquarian, a resurrectionitt of old parchments—(a laugh)—conjuring no from the deep oblivion of ages those shades of departed folly, and telling us, because they have never been rescinded by any competent or authorised Court, that we must still watch and tremble and be on our guard because r f them. May Ibe permitted one word here on the politics of the question. Gentlemen would need to be strongly confident of the goodness of their cause ere they would push it so, to the hazard of all that carnage and desolation, which it the event of the success their hearts are so much set upon, might ensue in Irel.nd. I rejoice in thinking that our religion rests on other foundations than those for the deference of which the sword roust be unsheathed, and the cruelties of war be let abroad among the families of an unhappy land. I envy neither the opinions nor the feelings of those who could look forward without a sigh to so dread an alternative. It reminds me of a whimsical receipt I once heard for the regeneration of Ireland, which was jug to let it down to the bottom of the sea for half an hour, and then bring it up again.—(A laugh.)—And really, to behold the exceeding fervour, not to say fury, of many out of doors, one might be almost tempted to think that they would rather have the question settled in this way—rather have the whole population swept off from the from the face of the Island—than have the dearly-beloved enactments they so zealously contend for swept off from the face of the statute-book. I could not vote for Dr. Inglis's proposed amendment, because there is in it a clause expressive of a sense of danger; but I can vote for the counter motion. I apprehend no danger. The measure needs no security. We shall stand our ground against the Papists just ae the Church of England stood her ground against the Methodists. We have nothing to fear from any species of Dissenters, if we are true to our selves. Our single defence against one and all of them is, to outpreach, outpray, and outlive them. Whatever the vote may be, I sit down with a triumphant feeling of the superiority of our principle over that of our antagonists. Our sentiment is, that Protestantism can uphold itself. Theirs is, that it cannot be upheld but at the inevitable ex pence of blood and violence.—(Cheers.) Mr. TAIT s'ipported Dr. Lee's motion, and Mr. Stem roe of Kirknewton, that of Dr. Inglis. Dr. THOMSON, after discussing the character of the Irish church, and asserting that it would be strengthened not injured, by Emancipation, the Rev. Gent. con cluded in the following terms :—The measures now pro posed go to the preservation of the Protestant church from the perils with which it is surrounded on every side. We are all agreed as to Popery. We hold it to be an Anti- Scriptural system, corrupt and fraught with errors the most dangerous, and which we are all agreed should be put down, and put down for ever—(applause)—as we would ilehl with all other errors. We just differ as to the most efficient means for accomplishing this end. Therefore we should be as one in the public estimation in regard to the evils of Popery, and the necessity of getting quit of it. But we differ as to the means of attaining that great object. My Rev. Friend who made the motion, gave us a histori c of detail regarding the conduct of our forefather., and the estimation in which they held Popery. All this may be very correct; but he did not come down to the present time. I say all this might have been then very well ; then very expedient and very necessary ; but from a change of circumstances, I du not care whether in religion or not, from a change of circumstances, I say, in which thet re ligion operated, things are totally altered. The Rev. Speaker detailed at considerable length the advantages that would result from emancipation, and concluded as follows : Three Catholics fight your battles, overcome your foes, and wreath your brow with a laurel of victory; they make your name a tower of stren:th all over the world—they secure to you every privilege to which you sling so closely, but in which you will not allow one lof them to participate. And in doing all this they belie the allegation that is made against them, of being under improper influence, for they contend against Catho lic Powers, and even against the Pope himself, if he was an enemy of Great Britain. In doing this they expose themselves to numerous hardships and perils; and, after all is lone, then you reward them or punish them—for, according to this monstrous system, these words may he synonimously employed—by telling them just to go bark to their wretched homes, having performed these mighty services, to live contented under the burden of their op pressions and insults heaped upon them merely because the inhabitants of that country differed from our religion in their creed. What is the aeisequence ? They resent this. They are men of like passions with yourselves. If wa prick them do they not bleed—are they not sensible of the injuries done them—and have they not the power and ability to avenge themselves on this country.—(Hear. ) Then you give them the second edition, improved amid cor rected, for their past services. Instead of consolation, ;sou put them to the sword—you scatter their poor fami lies you burn their hovels, which wretched though they be, are their homes —you carry despair over their country, and you do them all the mischief you can. You may succeed, in the contest—l do not say you will not sue• teed, but don't forget this, even your success is disas trous—every victory you gained over them is tantamount to a defeat—every gun from our ancient citadel that would announce a victory over them would go like a knell to the heart of every patriot in our land—(Great cheering.)— 'And then your triumph is your ruin. When all this is passing over the Catholic, Powers would be glad to take advantage of your conduct. Do you think they would be idle spectators while the contest was going on ?—(lkar, hear.)—At last when you had exhausted yourself in this warfare they would pounce upon you as eagles do upon their prey.—(Applause.)—You may cut off the locks of the strong man, and put out hie eyes—you may make him the subject of mockery; but though he perish under your insults, he pulls clown the pillars that support the house, and you are crushed along with him.—(Applause.) I do say that the measures proposed in Parliament is the only safety for us and the Protestants. And it should be re membered if they fail to be carried, Catholicism and Pro testantism must go together. lam wrong ; the Catholic powers would take advantage of this and resuscitate Popery, hut Protestantism would be gone for ever. Admit Catho lics to the privileges that are now proposed, and I do say, that according to the nature of things and the whole his tory of our race, you make friends of those who are your determined enemies ; and then you are safe ; then you are a united empire. Only do not pass the measure, and you may say of our country " but yesterday she might have stood against the world, but now none so poor as to do her reverence "—(Great cheering.) Dr LEE said a few words in reply. The Presbytery then divided, the state of the vote being first or second motion—it being understood, if the first motion was carried, that Dr. Lee's motion would be adopted, and if the second, Dr. Inglis's. For the first motion, I I—For the second motion, 20. Majority 9. —T he Presbytery separated at six o'clock.

Whether the Empress will afterwards go to Berlin, to he present at her brother's mar riage, is not mentioned. BucnAaasr s IV:Asters 6.—According to accounts from Jassy, there seems to be no doubt that General Diebitach will, as soon as possible, transfer his head-quarters to the other side of the Danube, and commence the siege of Silie tria, with which the Russians, it appears, will open the camp:rips. CONSTANTINOTLE, FED. 26.—1 t is now asserted, that on the 15th of March (a peculiarly fortunate day) the Sultan will leave the camp at Ramis Tehiflik with the standard of the Prophet; the whole army will be as sembled there; the volunteers, and all the inhabitants of the capital able to bear arms, (stated at 150,000 men,) and will proceed to Adrianople. One hundred Tartars hare been dispatched within this week to carry this news to the provinces. The Sultan is said still to intend the recovery of Varna. His resolution to take the field has made a very favourable impression here, and si lenced the murmurs of the discontented. Since the last post-day provisions have risen a little, and the Porte has been obliged to adopt measures for the tran quillity of the capital. Two hundred Greek families, and a great many Armenians and Jews, have been sent to Asia, and it is said next week 15,000 Greeks, 10,000 Arme nians, and 5,000 Jews are to be sent out of the capital. The European agents, indeed, intercede for them, but if the corn expected ley land from Smyrna does not arrive, it will not be easy to save them from banishment. LISBON, MARCH 16.—The official part of the Gazette contains an order front his Majesty, who taking into his most serious consideration the difficulty of sending to their destination without great delay the numbers of persons condemned to transportation to the Colonies, who have been for some years accumulated in the prisons of Lisbon, and the injustice of adding to their punishment by long imprisonment, previous to their em barkation, and his royal heart being always disposed to clemency, as far as justice will allow, has been pleased to order that all persons now in prison at Lisbon and Oporto, who have been condemned to banishment beyond sea, for any tsrm not exceeding five years, shall instead be banished so places in Portugal, viz., Linheres, Lagos, Penhel, Mira , ,da, Castello Branco, Guarila Francoso, Moncoroe, and Braganza. Persons, guilty of blasphemy, sacrilege, crimes against his Majesty's person, or the safety of the state, and robbers of every description, are ex cepted. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTIT, APRIL 4.—His Majesty's yacht Herald, Captain E. W. C. Astley, arrived yesterday in thirty-two days from Jamaica, bringing a mei! up to the let ult., and despatches for the Colonial Department, from his Excellency the EMI of Relmore, Governor of that island, who, with the Countess &Imre, his Lordship's family end suite, were landed on the 20th February. The He rald left England on the sth of January last, and arrived at Madeira on the 13th ; sailed on the 20th following for Barbadoee, and anchored in Carlisle Bay on the 6th February, where she landed his Excellency Lieutenant- General Sir James Lyon, K.G.B. &c , the Governor of that island, and suite; from thence she proceeded to Port Royal harbour, and arrived on the 19th, making sixty four days at sea and twenty-four in harbour; and after lauding his Excellency the Earl of Be lmore, his Lordship's family, and suite, left that anchorage for England on the Ist ult., in which time she traversed 9,439 miles. Her run from the Caycas passage to soundings was only nine teen days. When the Herald left Port Royal the island Ives quite healthy, and the troops in the highest condition, under the judicious and very able management of Major- General Sir John Keane. Some few cases of fever had proved fatal in the Magnificent and Harlequin, in the har bour, but otherwise the squadron were doing well. The crops had been scanty only at Barbadoes and Antigua, at which islands aidearth of rain had been experienced. The Barham, bearin the flag of the Hon. Vice-Admiral Fleem jag, arrived at Barbadoes on the 12th of February, after the Herald had quitted that anchorage for Jamaica. It was the Admiral's intention to visit all the islands within hie command previous to his return to Jamaica. The Magnificent, Capt. Dean (acting), the Harlequin, Harpy, and Espiegle were at Port Royal ; the Harlequin having just returned from the main land, but without any intelli gence of interest. The Espiegle was on the point of pro. ceeding to the same quarter. The Druid was collecting specie at Vera Cruz and Tampico, and was to proceed to the Havannah, and then to England. The Slaney was at Trinidad : this ship had encountered so severe a gale of wind on her passaee from Bermuda as to render it neces sary to throw some of her guns overboard. The Grass hopper bad recently chased two slave vessels near Cuba, but lost them in the night. The two vessels she had cap tured had been condemned at the Havannall, and their cargoes (892 slaves) given up to the Spanish authorities, and by thew app4nticed to different trades for seven yearr, at the expiration of which time they are to to be consi dered as freemen. Letters from Malta to the 16th of February announce the arrival there from Naples of the Asia, SO, with the flag of Sir Pulteney Malcolm, Windsor Castle, and Spar tiate. The Revenge was at Naples, in attendance on Mr. Stratford Canning. The Ann and Amelia, hospital ship, was on her passage to England. An order has been con ferred by the King of France on Captains Lyon and Lush. ington, and that of Legion of Honour on Lieutenants Luckcraft and Davey, of the Blonde, and Lieutenant Logan, R.M.A. for the Patras affair. The Onyx transport, Lieut. Decceurdeaux (agent) ar rived on Wednesday from Malta, after a tedious passage, having sailed thence on the 2d February, with a few inva lided soldiers. The passengers by her are General Cara scosa, Lieutenant W. Hubbard, R.N., and Messrs. Sidney Grenfell, Alfred Crayler, George Milner, John Rogers, Robert Sparehott, and George Bamber, midshipmen, and Mr. John Basson, assistant-master. The Onyx has also brought to England nine Greek convicts, wkose lives Ge neral Ponsonby had spared, hut who are doomed to suffer transportation for the remainder of their existence. They have since been transferred to the York hulk at this port. The Britomart transport arrived on Wednesday from Fernando Po, which island she left on the 21st January. We learn that the clearing of the ground, a step from which much was hoped, had tended but little to render less sickly that wretched establishment. The Britomart has brought home some invalids, and nine pirates' for trial, who belonged to the Missolonghi schooner, and who it is clearly ascertained have been guilty of great atrocities. Two tither prates died oa their passage to England. They were yesterday sent round to the river in the Lightning steam •vessel. The ship Lady Raffles, from Bombay, and the Eliza, from Penang, passed up Channel yesterday for the river ; the latter ship left on the 3d November. Admiral Gage, in the Java, 50, was lying at Penang. On board of this ship the officers had recently entertained the gentry of that settlement w:th an amateur play and a grand ball. The Rainbow, Hon. Captain Roos, was expected to join the Admiral from Sydney, having been relieved by the Satellite, Captain Laws. The Success, Captain Jer voise, was at 31adras ; the Hind, Captain Furneaux, had been sent to Singapore and Bombay, and would be laid up there. Her crew is to bring the new frigate Andromeda, of 40 guns, to England. The Pandora, 18, Commander G&f don, had been sent to 3iergui and Amherst, on the Te nasserim coast. The whole squadron was healthy, as was the continent of India generally, though occasionally a vein of cholera wool i run over a district in so extraordi nary a manner as even to reach far out to sea, a fact re cently experienced by the ship Abercrombie Robinson, which in her passage from Bombay to Singapore lost twenty-seven men in a few days. It was observed that all who died were seized with the malady while on duty on deck. From Madras we learn that the nizam's second son had collected a large body of Pitans, in the city of Hyderabad, and refused to disband them ; that in conse quence the Russell brigade had been called in from Bola rum, and the whole of the subsidiary force held in readi ness for immediate service, forty rounds of ball cartridges having been issued to each individual. The author of this commotion has been in confinement more than once, and is considered to be of a most turbulent diiposition. On the 18th of October Calcutta was visited by a smart shock of an earthquake ; the motion was almost vertical, and the shock one of the severest that had been felt for many years. Rear-Admiral Thomas Baker, C. 8., hoisted his flag at Plymouth on board the Warspite, 76, on Tuesday last. The Southampton, 50, with the flag of Rear• Admiral Sir Edward Owen, K.C.8., arrived on Thursday from Chatham. Site was paid yesterday, and will proceed to morrow to the East Indies, in the command of which sta tion Sir Edward will succeed Rear-Admiral Gage. The Southampton will touch at Fernando Po, and take out the lady of Capt. Owen, the Governor of that settlement.

GENERAL JACKSON'S INAUGURAL AD DRESS. (From a Philadelphia Paper of the 7th ult.) Fellow Citizens,--e-About to undertake the arduous du ti,s that I have been appointed to perform by the choice of ' a free people, I avail myself of this customary and solemn occasion to express the gratitude which their confidence in spites, and to acknowledge the accountability which my situation enjoins. While the magnitude of their interest convinces me that no thanks can be adequate to the honour they have conferred, it admonishes me that the hest return I can make is the zealous dedication of my humble abilities to their service and their good. As the instrument of the Federal Constitution, it will devolve on me, for a stated period, to execute the laws of the United States; to superintend their foreign and their confederate relations; to manage their revenue ; to com mand their forces; and, by communications to the Legis lature, to watch over and to promote their interests gene rally. And the principles of action by which I shall en deavour to accomplish this circle of duties it is now proper for me briefly to explain. In administering the laws of Congress, I shall keep stea dily in view the limitations as well as the extent of the exe cutive power, trusting thereby to discharge the functions of my office, without transcending its authority. With foreign nations it will be my study to preserve peace, and to cultivate friendship on fair and honourable terms; and, in the adjustment of any difference that may exist or arise, to exhibit the forbearance becoming a powerful nation, rather than the sensibility belonging to a gallant people. In such measures as I may be called on to pursue in re gard to the rights of the separate states, I hope to be ani mated by a proper respect for those sovereign members of our union ; taking care not to confound the powers they have reserved to themselves, with those they have granted to the confederacy. The management of the public revenue—the searching operation in all Governments, is amongst the most delicate and important trusts in ours; and it will of course demand no inconsiderable share of my official solicitude. Under every respect in which it can be considered, it would appear that advantage must result from the observance of a strict and faithful economy. This I shall aim at the more anxi ously, both because it will facilitate the extinguishment of the national debt—the unnecessary duration of which is in compatible with real iudependence,—and because it will counteract that tendency to public and private profligacy, which a profuse expenditure of money by the Government is but too apt to engender. Powerful auxiliaries to the attainment of this desirable end are to be found in the re gulations provided by the wisdom of Congress, for the spe cific appropriation of public money, and the prompt ac countability of public officers. With regard to a proper selection of the subjects of im ' post, with a view to revenue, it would seem to me that the spirit of equity, caution, and compromise, in which the constitution was formed, requires that the great interests of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures, should be equally favoured ; and the only exception to this rule should consist in the peculiar encouragement of any products of either of them that may be found essential to our national independence. Internal improvement, and the diffusion of information, so far as they can be promoted by the constitutional acts of the federal government, are of high importance. Considering standing armies as dangerous to free go vernments in time of peace, I shall not seek to enlarge our present establishment, nor disregard that salutary lesson of political experience which teaches that the military should be held subordinate to the civil power. The gradual in crease of our navy, whose flag has displayed in distant climes our skill in navigation and our fame in arms ; the preservation of our forts, arsenals, and dock-yards; and the introduction of progressive improvements in the discipline and science of both branches of our military service, are so plainly prescribed by prudence, that I should be excused for emitting their mention, sooner than for enlarging upon their importance. But the bulwark of our defence is the national militia, which, in the present state of our intelligence and population, must render us invincible. As long as our government is adMinistered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their long as it secures to us the rights of person and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press,—it will be worth defending; and so long as it is worth defending, a patriotic militia will cover it with an impenetrable cegis. Partial injuries and occasional mortifications we may be subjected to; but a million of armed freemen, possessed of the means of war, can never be conquered by a foreign foe. To any just system, therefore, calculated to strengthen this natural safeguard of the country, I shall cheerfully lend all the aid in my power. _ It will be my sincere and constant desire to observe to • wards the Indian tribes within our limits, a just and liberal policy ; and to give that humane and considerate attention to their rights and their wants which are consistent with the habits of our government, and the feelings of our people. The recent demonstration of public sentiment inscribes, on the list of executive'dtaks, in characters too legible to be overlooked, the task of reform, which will require parti cularly the correction of those abuses that have brought the patronage of the federal government into conflict with the freedom of elections, and the counteraction of those causes which have disturbed the rightful course of appoint ment, and have placed or continued power in unfaithful or incompetent hands. In the performance of a task thus generally delineated, I shall endeavour to select men whose diligence and talents will ensure, in their respective stations, able and faithful co-operation, depending, for the advancement of the public service, more on the integrity and zeal of the public officers than on their numbers. A diffidence, perhaps too just, in my own qualifications, will teach me to look with reverence to the example of public virtue left by my illustrious predecessors, and with venera tion to the lights that flow from the mind that founded, and the mind that reformed, our system. The same diffi dence induces me to hope for instruction and aid from the co-ordinate branches of the Government, and for the indul gence and support of nay fellow-citizens generally. And a firm reliance on the goodness of that Power whose Pro- vidence mercifully protected our national infancy, and has since upheld our liberties in various ♦icissitudes, encour ages me to offer up my ardent supplications, that he will continue to make our beloved country the object of his divine care and gracious benediction. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. EAST INDIA. The Claudine, Flinn, from Bengal has arrived in the Downs; sailed from Calcutti, Nov. 6 ; Saugar, Nov. 14 ; and St. Helena, Jan. 26. The Augenoria, , from Bengal, in the Downs ; sailed from thence September 28 ; and the Mauritius, 25th December. The Warrens, from the South Seas, has arrived in the Downs. The John Palmer, from the South Seas, has arrived off Margate. Vessels spoken with—The John Bigger, Morley, from London, for Bengal, Dec• 6 ; the Andromache, Laws, from ditto, for Bengt!, Feb. 1 ; Runnymede, Wildridge, from ditto, for Bombay, Feb. 1 ; the Fortune, , from Liverpool, for Bombay, Jan. 29. The son of the Common Councilman who was reported to have declined attending the grand dinner at the Mansion-house to-morrow, because he could not 6 ' turn his coat" so soon, has puldished a denial of the ru mour. It is true that the above Common Councilman is one among the number who have announced their inten tion not to accept the Lord Mayor's invitation, but we understand no individual has couched hie answer to his Lordship in such uncourteous terms. BROTHERLY LOVE.— A man named MA GUIRE was convicted at the Maryborough Assizes of steal ing a cheese, the property of his brother, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. The prosecutor had promised his parents that he would not swear against his brother; in return for which lenity they were to give him a flitch of bacon, to make up for the loss of the cheese. When he went to Maryborough, however, he swore with such good effect as to obtain a conviction. Immediately after wards be returned to Mounttath, and, telling the old couple that their son had been acquitted, claimed the promised reward. They cheerfully complied, and the scoundrel was carrying off his unr:ghteous booty, when the boys of the town,. having l earne d the true version of the affair, gave chase, and he thr e w down the flitch and fled, too well pleased at having saved his own bacon to look back upon that which hp left behind. LAW OF ENTAIL. The following Resolutions of their Committee hare been adopted, almost unanimously, by the So- Ciety of Writers to the Sig - net :- Ist. They are unanitnously of opinion, that the statute 168 G, taken in connexion with the Acts 10 George 111. and 5 George IV. has been productive of great evils, and must, if allowed to remain unal tered, be productive of still greater, and that it is now necessary to provide a remedy against these evils. 2d. They are, by a majority, of opinion, that it is inexpedient that the power of entailing property in perpetuity should be continued as to Entails to be made in future. 3d. They are, by a majority, of opinion, that in Entails to be made in future, the limitation as to endurance should be fixed upon the principle adopted in England the same having been found, by experience, to answer every useful purpose. 4th. They are, by a majority of opinion, that in future Entails, the heir in possession should be con sidered a liar as at present, subject always to the specific restrictions and burdens imposed by the re spective Entails under which the lands may be held, and that his interest in the property ought not to he confined to that of a mere life -renter, whose rights, as now ascertained under the law of Scot land, are too much limited to admit of a due admi nistration of the estate. That, in other respects, the effects produced in England by the system of entailing adopted in that country, may, or ought to be accomplished in Scotland by means of deeds cal culated to produce those effects, without departing from the general principles of law in Scotland affect ing heritable succession. sth. They are, by a majority of opinion, that in place of existing Entails being preserved until the death of all the heirs now in existence, and of a re gister being instituted as proposed in the Bill, the interests of the parties called to the succession in such Entails, and the interests of the public in bringing such Entails, gradually, though at a con siderable distance of time, to an end, would be more effectually gained by either of the following methods, viz. 1. By a provision, that the heir in possession at the date of passing the Act, with the consent of the next substitute of lawful age, and a descendant of his own body, and also of the next substitute of lawful age, not a descendant of his body, should have power to execute a deed, putting the estimate under the modified form of Entail, but continuing the destination in the original Entail; the statute further providing, that the heir of Entail executing such deed, shall, in respect to the endur ance of the Entail, be considered as the maker of it, whereby the parties having right to put an end to such Entail, will be the issue born after the death of the maker of the deed, on their obtaining majority, and coming into the possession of the entailed estate ; and further, that at the end of 70 years, it should be in the power of all heirs, then in posses sion of entailed estates, to put an end to them; or 2dly. By a provision, that, after a certain period to be fixed in the Act, it should be in the power of every heir in possession to put an end to the Entail. oth. They are unanimously of opinion, that it is expedient that heirs, under existing Entails should be allowed to disentail such part of the estate, not exceeding a fourth in value, as may be necessary to pay off entailer's debts, provisions to children, and sums expended in improvements, made under the Act 10 Geo. 111. 7th. They are unanimously of opinion, that while Entails, now existing, shall remain on the footing of perpetuities, and until they shall be modified by sub• sequent heirs in terms of the Act now to be Fused, if no provisions, or only adequate ones, are made for wives and husbands in such deeds, it is expedient, that the powers already conferred by statute, should be continued, to the extent of authorising reasonable provisions to be mad• for them. Bth. They are unanimously of opinion, that it would be expedient that there should be three se parate Bills; one confined solely to future Entails; one fixing the mode in which present Entails may be brought under the new system; and one fixing the relief to be granted to heirs under existing Entails.

GRANT and others brought up three Voirtte Bills. Mr. ESTCOIIRT and others brought up another Privates Bill. Mr. Johnson, from the office of the Chief Secretssis Office for Ireland, presented a Return of the number of Freeholders registered in Ireland. It was ordered to be printed. Several Private Bills passed their various stages. Lord GROSVENOR presented a petition against on of them with a view that the parties might be heard by their Counsel before the Bill was read a third time. _ Lord DUNALLY presented a petition from the BislAP and Clergy of the diocese of Cashel and another places against the clauses in the Bill for relieving the Roma' Catholics from their disabilities for regulating the Mones o Establishments. The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from the town of Carlisle in favour of the Catholic Relief Bin. Plc' person bad been permitted to sign this petition who I lia not fully understand what they were doing. Lord FARNHAM presented what he conceived to be rs petition of a peculiar kind. It was from nine hundred and eighty females who belonged to the Wesleyan ream gious denomination of London, who conceived their religiott would be in!danger by the passing of the purposed Mei.' sure for the relief of the Catholics ; and it prayed that the - House would not carry it into a law. Those petitioners , ' the Noble Lord conceived, had as much right to petitiots the House as any subject of his Majesty. The Noble Lord presented a great many petitions frons various parts in Ireland and England to the same effect. Lord LITTLETON presented a petition from the Inde pendent Protestant Dissenters of Northampton, praying for the relief of the Roman Catholics.

With regre t to that Bill, he should certainly have said it was within the competency of Parliament to pass that Bill, whethe e occasion called for it or not. He should have looked 1 ° the Bill as a sort of purchase-money for the Catholic Be' lief Bill, and therefore he should not have given his COn' sent to any such Bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON observed that no ohs re' gretted more than he did the absence and ill-health of th e No'de and Learned Lord. Lord ELDON resumed—as to the Bar of Scotland, h e thought it his duty to say the learning, the knowledge they had of their profession, and of matters not immediately be longing to it, would do honour to any class of individuals to get them to present to Parliament a petition against the proposed measure. A petition was presented by the free' Mr. Lee, of high respectability against it. The PresbYW r Y, discussed the subject, and it was rejected by a majority 20 to 11. In the minority there were three. clergymen' , and in the majority thirteen. Lord ELDON gave notice, that, on Thursday, he shoo° present a petition from Liverpool against the Catholic!'

The NOBLY. Loan presented another petition froa!' • Mr. Mahon and another, praying to be allowed to b e ' heard by counsel at their Bar, against the Disfrancbis ill t Bill. The petitioners were not personally interested, Ir d stated that the franchise of a number of individu a l s depuPu e upon them. In the address of th e p e titi on th e p e titiou" .., did not state that it was the "humble" petition, they, however, " humbly" prayed, !cc. ; and a questl° ll would be, whether this was sufficient or not. The Nob le Lord begged that the petition might be laid on the table a Lord ELDON considered that as respected the WO humble, the petitions was such as might be received; hi ' that the petitioners being themselves no interest, it '9 O not competent for them to make the application. Lord MOUNT CAS HELL said, that Gorman 141 0 ,_ °11 and the other petitioner having been ringleaders of tn e agitation in Ireland fur a long time, any application coining from a quarter so suspicious ought not to receive nauc h encouragement from their Lordships. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Lord WINCHELSEA presented numerous petiti ons from various parts against the measure. The Duke of SUSSEX presented a petition from th e individual clergymen of the archdcaconry of Cl eve land; t was also signed by other persons in favour of coonceeei"' The Earl of HADDINGTON said there had b e en as attempt to get a meeting of the Presbytery of Edinburg h were in progress.

Mr. HUME said no one was more anxious to see difficulties under which the petitioners labour remove" than himself, but he must say he thought they were under a great mistake as to the real cause. Mr. D. W. HARVEY had no doubt but thitit,*' Bl owing to the large quantities of French-silks intpo(te,4,o! !: this country ; he wished the advocates of free tratieoior point out some means by which the starving guloisitt. could obtain a livelihood.

In the Refined Mar ket there has been no material alteration; the season for shipment to the North of Europe is closed, and the re quest for the Mediterranean is pretty well supplied for the present ; fine goods for home consumption in moderate demand. Molasses more firm. This afternoon there is little alteration; large Lumps continue to be taken off for packing, but are very scarce, notwithstanding which barely last week's prices can be realized, the sales generally being 71s. to 725. for low to good descriptions; in small and Prussian Lumps and low single Loaves also, although there is still business doing for crashing, there is a heavi ness, and last week's quotations are with difficulty ob tained. Sales of crashed continue to be made for the Mediterranean, but the inquiries this week have not been so numerous, and, although no material alteration can be made in the quotations, purchases could be made on a shade easier terms than last week. Molasses suJek in the other two docks, 133 packs.

Rum stock in London sad St. Katherine's Docks 1,674 puns. llEmz, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow has become very dull at 355., but on account of the letters front St. Petersburgh stating the probability of 14 vessels being shut in by the ice (probably to winter) the demand and the prices have slightly improved. Hemp and Flax are also held for higher prices. _ INDIGO.—The Indigo Market Las a dull appearance, but there are still inqul'ies and offers made for parcels, but they are at low rates, and are rejected ; the sales lately are quite inconsiderable. The public sale of 60 serons Spanish Indigo this day went off at full market prices, all sold. . RICE. —Carolina Rice, 365. for the fine; East India very dull.

New red Smyrna Raisins, since last Friday, have been advanced 25., the price being now 435. ; only a small quantity has, however, as yet been taken off; there have been two or three arrivals this week. New Valentia Raisins have been held firmly for 475., but the grocers do not appear dis posed to purchase at that price, until they have cleared off their old stock ; the merchants, nevertheless, have signi fied their intention of putting them on Monday to 48s. New pulled Turkey Figs continue to go off rattier freely, but one or two parcels have been sold at lower prices.

OLD BAILEY.—In the case of W.PurrocK and B. APADA3t, who were capitally indicted yesterday, for assaulting P. F. S. DEsruEs, and stealing from his. person a gold watch and other articles, his property, which was left unfinished when we went to press, the Jury acquitted the prisoners. On Friday a young, woman of respectable ex terior came to the foot of the al•ar of the Franciscan Cha pel, Henry-street, Limerick, and madera public avowal 01 her conversion to the rules and tenets of the Roman Ca tholic Church. A priest stood at each side of the con vert, and the ceremony occupied at l eas t half an hour, tL presence of a numerous congregation,—Limerick Chron. COUNT OP RrO,UESTS sr..tlTLfitr V. TU BES, Mr. Nicholas Tubbs appeared before tlu CotTimissioners upon summons to show cause why he refusoi or neglect-d to~,rythe sum of 11. 17i. 6d., being the b,l tnee of an account alleged to be due from him to Miss Jura Slattery ; of "which account the following is a true copy, as it was handed into Court on behalf of the plaintiff:— " Mr•. Tubbs toe Miss Slattery. " 1529 Jentvary toe Joon six rnunth "in Strucisbun toe Missy TuLbs ......... G 0 0 " Dedukt cash and od thing... 4 2 6 " balans stil doo i 17 6" : • The COURT, taking the singular orthography of Miss Slattery's account into consideration, asked het what hind of " instruction" she had given Miss Tubbs?.," Oh dear !" said Miss Slattery— ,, finishing in-tiuetion of course. lam pecult,r sorry-to say that Mi•s Tohbses' education had been neglected shameful through the perspi cuity of her father, Mr. Tubbs here; and by her inatna's desire I gave her the coo de grace." The COURT—That was finishing her with a vengeance ! You don't mean to say you kill'd her ?---:"lfeavew,abovo ! what an orrible idea," shrieked Miss Slattery. " 3lc kill her ! Oh dear ! No indeed, I never gesticulated such a' thing." The COURT—Then what did yon mean, 'Madam, by saying you had given her the coup de grace.?—. Why, of course, I grave her the grime!" replied Mi4s Slattery. • " All the grace she has .be got from me ;—fur Miss Tubhs, poor thing! had been so shameful put about that she nol nothing.' But by my shuperior intuitions, and being her self extreme seditious• in learning, she iii now tit for any tummy ; for I havegast her:a grae'd' ill' the. bearing het self ' in-the4se-dH11;" (rltteryi gime/fair) .

Mr. Tubbs—Why, i've got to sey es this ;—who employed she to be meddling and making with my dartar ? Miss Slattery—Who employed me was not einpley'd—l was engaged, Tubbs; and I was en gaged by your wife, who has more sense in hiT thumb nail than you have in your whole body—Tubbs ! Mr. Tubbs—Very good ;—and now your Worships I'll just take and tell you ail about it.—My wife says to me. Tubbs, says she, what d'ye think ?—I don't know, say. I, Why, says she, there's a nice old lady, up in Mrs. Davis's two pair front, coot's took a notion to our Bridget—that's my darter, your Worships. Well, says I, and what of that?—for I keeps a coal-aped, your Worships, and does a trifle in salt fish and green grocery besides. Why, sass my wife, says she, you know, Tubbs, Pridget's a big wench now; and if you'll let the old lady finish her up a bit in dancing and pannyforting, she'll take it out in coals and wedgytubbles ;—says my wife to nte—just so.—And with that, I says to my wife, says I,—Shut your potato:, trap, Mrs. Tubbs, says I ; and you mind your business, and let Bridget mind the shop ; for I'll hays no ends titheryhumming and gallivanting, I can and do assure you, Mrs. Tubbs, says I. No, but Tubbs, says she. Don't Tubbs me, says I;—I'll hays nu more words about it ; and with that I thought it were all dropped ; till one n: ruing, as I were getting out of bed, I sees my wife's pocl;et hanging out from under her end of the bolster, and out vf the slit of the pocket this ere note were sticking : Note handed into Court and read by the Clerk : —" Miss J. Slattery's compliments to Mrs. and Miss Tid , bses, and requests the honour of their company to a ?ca.& 11-pa ty on Friday evening " _ . Mr. Tubbs, incontinuation—Blow the! your Worships, if you mightn't have know lied me down with a f other, as I stood there with nothing on but my shirt !--)ou might indeed. So I crumples up the note, ani I drups it iut, my wife's mouth—for she's got an ugly knack sleeping with her mouth wide open, you'll understand ; an , ! I whips on my breeches and things, and down stairs I crecps, leav ing her fast asleep, with the note in her mouth ; and off I goes to market to buy my green-stuff and six sacks of white-eye potatoes— • Here the Court cut abort Mr. Tubbs' narratit , , by pc ramptorily ordering him to say, in three wore:,, why he objected to Miss Slattery's claim. " Why because I laid a nenthargo upon it'" replied Mr. Tubbs.--" I sent her word time after Cale if she quodrilled nay Bridget, I wouldn't be answerable; I quar relled with Mrs. Tubbs; and I were everlasting blowing up Bridget. But what can one man d o agen ° three we men?—lt were all of no use ;...--say what I would ; do what I could, toy coals, cash, and turnips were clandeg tinated out of my house to pay for the quodrilling, and I verily believes they'd have drill'd me into pod, if 1 hadn't put a atop to it by packing Bridget off to her uncle's at Northampton." Evidence was then called to prove that he haul ropat edly given Miss Slattery notice that he would not be an.. swerable; and of course Miss Slattery was nonsuited. THE SIAMESE BOYS.—Mr. BOLTON, the surgeon, under whose care their health is place t, is hav ing, under his superintendence, wax models made of the anatomical juncture of the boys ; so that should any thing fatal happen, there will be preserved a faithful representa tion of the anatomical structure of this extraordinary freak of nature. We hear also that Mr. B. is diligently preparing an account of them, which will be interesting to scientific men. The casts from which the modals will be prepared are made by Mr. SIEVIER, the eminent sculptor. ENGLISH THEATRICALS IN HOLLAND.-- An English Theatrical Company has been lately esta blished in Holland, performing alternately at Amsterdam, and the Hague. Mr. AUBREY, the manager, by offers of liberal terms, bad formed a very respectable company. The , p.rformances commenced the beginning of het month, when Mr. KEAN, junior, performed Young Norval with great applause. Miss F. H. KELLY arrived soon after, and appeared on the 19th in the part of eirdiet, Mr. KLAN playing Romeo. The house was crowded, and the per, formance was received with so much applause that it we* repeated at the Hague on the following Saturday, the Aciog and Queen of the NETHERLANDS and the Prino e arid Prier cess of ORANGE forming part of the auditory. The com pany returned to Amsterdam, for the purpeee of performing there on the following Tuesday, but were thunderstruck In find that the manager had disappeared with all the money that had been received. A meeting of the performers was held, when Miss F. 11. Ker.tr, to save those of the com pany who had no means of support from the dreadful con. sequences of the manager's desertion, off, red to bear th e whole expenses, and pay the performers their full salar;ea for a month, provided Mr. KEAN would give his gra.tuine ee services during that period —a proposal to which he in, stantly agreed; but some of the performers not apteeoving of the arrangement, it was not carried into effect ; nod it ie now apprehended, that after having commented with so much promise, the undertaking will be entirely abandoned after performing four nights in aid of this poorer members of the company, for which benevolent purpose Mr. KEAN and Miss F. H. KELLY have given their services gratuitously. M. de TALLEYRAND was born for intrigue, and he has been true to his vocation ; he has intrigued for and against every Government from the Constituent As sembly to the restoration : for them, when they began to be established, or when he could hope to be well reward"! by them ; against them, when they began to totter, and there was more to be gained by their presumed suce censor. He is the cleverest and most amiahle egotist in the world. Amidst the rapid evolutions of his police. he has laboured with admirable perseverance in beheli of his private fortune, and not one change has taken place in the destinies of France but has increased the pewee and the influence of the former Bishop of AuTuN, The. horrid recollections of the murder of the Duke n'Eeze G HIEN have lately been conjured up against him ; to de. fend himself he has accused the Duke of Rovraeo ; but if he has succeeded in showing that the former Mlnister Police was guilty, according to the notions of many people, lie has not been so successful in porinz that he hinneelf was innocent. For the rest, he has rendered such eeee vices to the reigning house, that he had a right to use this expression in a letter to Loins XVIII., which be published :—" The enemies of your august family will nut pardon me for having twice replaced yeea on, the throne of France." The chief talent of M. Taeetvetaxn consists in making himself master of & husineas in conversation, and in appropriating to himself, in an acute discussion, the written labours of en able secretary this ~secretory has frequently been Count D'HAOTVR4VE, pupil to this great Duke of Cnotseue, and who has retained n youthful ima gination to the most adeanced age. Every body's bon=' loots have been attributed to AL DE TA I-T.EVRAND, but his has been still better phorsed with having the peculiar tntrie of Count n'HaueTaryE fathered upon him.

PORTt7GAL. The intelligence we have received from Oporto by the Ceres and the Ann, which arrived here on Tuesday last, presents the usual distressing aspect of affairs in that distracted country. These vessels have brought over 14 emigrants ; among whom is the lady of General Azeredo, and an unfortunate volunteer, whose wife and daughter were barba rously murdered by Don Miguel's Guerillas, in 1828. Seventeen individuals, who intended emi grating by an American schooner, were found by the police officers in the ship's hold, and committed to person; the schoooer was allowed to proceed on her voyage. The above emigrants represent the country to be in a most distressing state. Misgovernment has been carried to such a height that even me ilfigueliles begin to complain, and assert that it is impossible that Don Miguel can be sur rounded by true Royalists, or he would never govern as he does, and bring ruin on the country. The Oporto prisons contain 4,000 indi viduals, 500 of whom are women ; and as the com mon prison cannot contain so great a number, the ecclesiastical dungeons have been put in requisition. Little hope is entertained for the lives of those who of late have been summoned to give in their defence in five days; they will, it is feared, be executed with few exceptions, as well as many prisoners whose trials are to follow, and who are either civi lians and volunteers arrested with arms in their hands, or military officers not comprehended in Don Miguel's amnesty of July, 1828. A Jew from Mo rocco was publicly whipped through the streets of Oporto, for having expressed liberal opinions; an English gentleman (whose name, from what we could collect, is Macarthey) and M. Gambet (a French subject) were in prison on a similar charge. Some alterations have taken place in the composi tion of the Special Court of Inquiry, established at Oporto ; new members have been added, and others expelled as too moderate in their votes. A new Judicial Investigation has, by superior order, been set on foot at Oporto, under the diiection of the ordinary Judge in criminal affairs. A certain num ber of individuals of tried attachment to Don Mi guel's administration, are to be chosen by the Com missary of the Police, and these are to report to this Court of inquiry all persons who may be heard to utter expressions of discontent against the mea sures of Government, or frequent the houses arid company of suspected individuals. Great anxiety has been caused among the Constitutionalists by the establishment of this system of inquiry, as, by its vague nature, it may be made to include the most prudent and peaceable.—Plymouth Journal.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sut,—ln reply to the letter of " Medicus," which appeared in your Paper of yesterday, I beg to state, that bad he given his name and address, I would have triumphantly replied, not only.to his queries, but to his insinuations. Having come forward with out disguise myself, I am not disposed to enter into correspondence with every annonymous scribbler who may tbi;:k tit to call on me through your Paper —the only one, I take it, which would have inserted such a prmduction.# I was in great hopes, after the notice in your:Paper of Saturday last, that you should not insert my letter unless it were " paid for as an advertisement, " that you would have adhered to your resolution, instead of giving two or three partial extracts only, the effect of which is to insult your readers (if they have expressed the desire you mention—that " I should be beard"), and at the same time to injure me. I eln, Sir, your obedient servant, Finchley, Dec. 2. HENRY PHILLIPS. 4 ' Has Mr. Phillips read a letter which appeared in a Mornit:s Paper of Wednesday last ? We find in the Lancet of last night the following paragraph, which we publish in order to enable Mr. Phillips to give an explanation if he shall think fit. • There is no necessity for a long letter. The points are short, and admit of very short answers : " We have beard, from most respectable autho rity, that although it was sworn or. the inquest that Mr. Phillip! was at Barnet on the day preceding his wife's death, and did pot return unto eleyen o'clock,' that he' was seen to come out of his own house about seven o'clock in the evening; further, that he passed that same evening in the neighbour hood, in company with one or two women of doubt ful character; that, in the course of the even'og, Mrs. Phillips sent several messages to her husband complaining of her severe illness, and deairipg him to return; and that of these messages he eo:Acl either have heard nothing, or they were altogether disregarded by him, as he did not leave the public house until about twelve o'clock. Tiles? reports ore extensively and confidently circulated, and it is but' just to make Mr. Phillips acquainted with them. Whether at Barnet or the Torrington Arms, be could not have been a spectator of what was passing in his own house, and probably he has been misled am some points by inaccurate information. Mr. Slays will doubtless, therefore, say a few words in explanation of the reports respecting the alleged sc ene at the Torrington Arms, and of the alleged unheeded messages of his unfortunate wife. He is not called r pon for a defence, but merely for an ex ploitation): ? - e LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER: 5, 1829. The arrival of his MAJESTY'S frigate Galatea which sailed from Vera Cruz so late as the 9th October, settles all doubts, if any really existed, respecting the discomfiture and surrender of the Spanish expedition at Tampico. Indeed, the Mexican Packet, with Vera Cruz Papers of the 26th September, brings all that is necessary. These Papers contain a long official despatch from General SANTA ANNA, dated Tam- pico, the 19th of September, detailing the full particulars of the surrender. It appears that the Mexican General gave the Spaniards only 48 hours to consider, at the expiration of which all quarter was to be refused if they did not sur_ render. During the battle a violent storm pre vailed which overflowed the lines of the Mexicans, and placed some of them in a very critical situa tion, but when the storm abated SANTA ANNA succeeded in capturing one ofthe forts, on which the Spaniards hoisted the white flag, and surrendered on nearly the same terms as those already stated. The loss of the Mexicans was 127 killed and 151 wounded ; that of the Spaniards consisted of 104 killed and 96 wounded. The Galatea brought a considerable quantity of specie to this country, both for the Merchants and for the Mining Companies-40,000 dollars for the United Company, and 130,000 dollars for the Bolonas Company. The following are extracts from American Papers to the 16th September : MEXICO, SEPT. 13. We have before us letters from New Orleans to the 30th of August, which affirm that the second expedition from the Havannah was to sail on the 2d or fld inst., and that its force would amount to 3,000 men. Many asserted that it would go to Vera Cruz, but we cannot believe this. It is most natural that its plan should be to reinforce the division of General Barradas, which cannot be very strong at present. However, we must not neglect any point, as the enemy has the advantage of know ing where he will attack us, and we cannot obtain certainty on this point, The invaders have pliblished a commercial no tice, in which they exempt from all duties provisions of every kind, except flour, which is to pay half the duty fixed by the tariff of the Havannah, i. e, four dollars per barrel. Many Spanish vessels were at New Orleans, pre paring to sail with such articles for the expedition at Tamatiiipa.i, At Tornede los Ingleses there were 12 or 1,400 Spaniards, ready to embark for some point on our coast, supposed to be Matamoros or Soto de la Marina. The Spaniards are making their last efforts to as sert imagmary rights on a free people. We have received no news from the field of battle ; but we know that the enemy's force was daily growing weaker, and that our army was actively engaged in the necesEary fortifications. Gen. Santa Anna was to attack the enemy between the Sth and 10th inst. The Mexican troops were eager for battle, and be sought the Commander-in-Chief to lead them to the attack. Our forces are about 9,000 men, under Generals Santa Anna, Teran, Corlazar, Velasquez, and Valdivizco.. We do not know to what point the army of reserve if. to go, which is commanded by the valiant General isas,temente, accompanied by able and brave officers. fign, 14.—The Correio of this date eontaißs a Decree of te President, by which the widows of the officers who Lege died during their banishment, on account of the plan of Montano, are to be re lieved by the monk pio, and the 011...ers themselves implic‘ted in - that plan, who may be in wary parts of the territory of the Republic, are immediately to poseat themselves, in order to be restored to their rank, as their services may 4a, employed to advantage in the present ei:rumstansces of the4epublic. This, gays the Correio, may serve to iluiet the nl.Fros of thoo I yho really believed that the ,extraordinary .powers granted to the Executive might be abused, We see that it is most inclined to show mode- ration and indulgence ? and to offer a reconciliation between all the Mexicans, and has begun by par doning tb.ose who were banished on stcount of the affairs of Tuloncingo. We have reason to expect that this amnesty will be extended to all those im plicated in Montano's plan. An express from the army re ceived today brings word that our General would begin his attack on the Bth. As the second Spanish expedition was to sail on the 6th or 7th, it will probably reach our shores about the 23d or 24th, by which time the division already landed will be nearly ruined. The Correio of the 11th and 15th contains an ar ticle on the justice of declaring war against the United States of North America. Great rejoicings are making in Mexico to celebrate the anniversary of the republic: The following are extracts from Frankfort Papers of the 28th November;— BERLIN, NOV. 25. We are informed that his Majesty the Emperor of Russia has acknowledged the laudable zeal and the success of Lieutenant-General Baron Von Muffling, in his mission to Constantinople, _by , con ferring on him the order of St. Alexander Newsky, and a present of 100,000 silver rubles. The affairs of Greece must now soon take a decided turn; many friends of Greece are apprehensive that that people may be checked in its developement ; they aro particularly desirous that Count Capo &Istria may remain President of the new State. MUNICH, .NOV. 25. In Art. 10, of the commercial convention between the kingdoms of Bavaria and Wurtemburg on the one hand, and the kingdom of Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Hesse on the other, it is stipu lated that the Consuls of either of the contracting Powers, residing in foreign sea ports and commer• cial towns, shall be instructed to afford protection and assistance to the subjects of the other parties. In reference to this article, the Minister for Foreign Affairs has published a list of the Consuls and commercial agents of Prussia in foreign ports. His Majesty is still confined to his room by the hurt in his foot, which however is gradually, though slowly, getting better, and does not hinder him from devoting the greatest attention to the affairs of Go vernment. A change in our Ministry is still spoken of. We copy the following from the Chronicle of his morniNg : " We are glad to see, from our report of the proceed ings at the Middlesex Sessions yesterday, that the report on which our observations on the conduct of the Chairman, in altering a sentence from seven years' transportation to transportation for life, was not correct. On examination, we find the account was copied by us from The Sun newspaper. There was an account in several other Even ing Papers of Friday, perhaps the same as that so copied by us. " Mr. Const says, 'that in consequence of something said to him by some gentlemen who were sitting with him on the Bench, he ordered the boy to be brought back, and told him that the Court, on re-consideration, thought his a ease which ought to be punished by transportation for life. But, when he said this, be never meant so to sen tence him. Every gentleman in Court knew what he meant, and that his object was to impress on the other boys the danger of the course they were pursuing ; and he had reason to hope some good had been done in this way. Immediately after pronouncing the sentence, he leaned over to Mr. Gylby, the Clerk of the Peace, and told him to take no notice of it.' " As the Reporter was not in the secret, like Mr. Gylby, he may well have been excused for not understand ing the Learned Chairman. We rejoice to Mid that he did not exceed his duty, and we rejoice to find that he is so sensible of what is due from a Magistrate to the public; but if we may be pardoned the freedom, we would recom mend him not to leave Reporters in the dark in future.— Even our contemporary, the Courier, from a natural de.. ference to the wisdom of a Magistrate, justified the altera tion of the sentence as highly praise-worthy ; and we should not be surprised if the Chairmen of Sessions throughout the country, misled by such high authorities, were to act upon the precedent." Now as the Chronicle copied the report from The Sun, we can assure our liberal cotemporary that the Report was correct to the letter—and we also assure him, from a little experience of what has taken place at Quarter Sessions, that the practice of recalling a culprit after sentence, and honouring him with a second but more durable proof of Magisterial vengeance, did not originate in the present instance. However, we are now glad that the intention of the Chair man was not divined by our Reporter, as the circumstance may be the means of preventing such mistakes in future. The Chairman no doubt meant very well, but then he took rather an odd way of doing it. Had he ordered the boy to be flogged on the instant, for insulting the judgment -seat, it would have had a more touching and corrective influence, both by pre cept and example, than the prospective terror of residing in a foreign land for the remainder of his life. Distant punishment, like uncertain danger makes little impression upon a mind which is already prepared for the worst. It is, we know, a common observation, when people read Newspapers which make a fuss about nothing, " Ah ! the Papers must say something, and, therefore, when they have nothing else to do, they find fault, merely for the sake of doing so." We conjecture this remark must have been ap- plied to some of our Tory contemporaries, who are so fierce in their attacks on the New Police, and so fearful for our liberties, which they tell us are being gradually swept away. The thieves and flashmen probably make the same complaint, for it is incontestible that an encroachment has been made upon the vested interest enjoyed by one portion of the community in picking the pockets of the remainder. The wisdom of our forefathers had provided for the exercise of the right of thieving with comparatively little moles tation, and that this right should be now sub verted by a new fangled scheme of Police , a mounts, it is contended, to an arbitrary assaul t upon British liberties, if not to a violation of the Constitution of 1688 ! These sticklers for our liberties are supported by several old ladies in one of the districts of Marylebone parish, who, in consequence of Lord ELDON'S eulogium on the ladies' petition against the Critilolies, have become sensible of the great weight due to female remonstrances, and have re presented to the Secretary of State the injustice of destroying their nocturnal comforts, by depriving them of the solace of the musical intonations of the watchmen, in the absence of which these old ladies find it impossible to lull themselves to recto Mr. PEEL !--Mr. PEEL !---what reparation can you ever m . lke to the elderly gentlewomen of Mar ylebone for the loss of that constitutional lullaby which in happier times soothed their slumbering eyelids to repose ? It is impossible to argue seriously with those who deny the benefits of a well organized Police traversing the metropolis by night and by day, for the preservation of the persons and property of the inhabitants. What we wanted was simply —security ; and the Government, seeing that no former system had attained that end, has esta blished a new force for our protection, which, so far as can be _hitherto judged, is very effective, and answers its purpose extremely well. It is really too bad to talk of the evils of introducing a gendarmerie into England, and of the ap proaches that are making to a Military Govern ment ; the complaints of the old ladies of Mary lebone is a far more suitable one. If foreigners who write articles in Reviews, lecturing us to beware of the tyranny to which a military police is leading us, would study England a little more closely, they would find we are not exactly the people to be led by the nose under a military yoke ; and they would perceive that Policeman is merely another name for constable, though of a somewhat more efficient kind. The whole business of Government is the application of means to a given end ; and if that end is reached, or, at all events, approached, it is perfect child ishness to blame the means, because they are in some respects analogous to those adopted in countries less free than our own. People who do not think arc deceived by names ; but there are others who do think, and are not deceived at all themselves; though they have bad faith enough to avail themselves of popular prejudices to raise an outcry against a Government which they are trying to undermine. They try, however, in vain, the Government will stand ; and the Police will stand ; and the former will as surely confound the machinations of the Ultra Tories, as the latter will drive the pickpockets from their Metropo litan haunts. Despatches were received at the Colonial Office, this morning, from Major-General Sir H. TURNER, Governor of Bermuda; from Sir WILLIAM DOUGLASS, Governor of New Brunswick; and from Major General Sir P. MAITLAND, Governor of Nova Scotia. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. Twiarz ot Cr.ocr. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 3, 9 r. m.—Up to the above time there has been no communication with the Napoleon New York packet, the weather is so thick. A Halifax mail has arrived by the Opossum, which sailed from Bermuda the 30th October, and from Halifax the 10th Nov. ; also a mail from Vera Cruz, by the Lady Wellington, which sailed from thence the 28th September, and from the Havannah the 16th October. By the above conveyance we have received from the North and South American Coffee-house, Halifax Papers, to the 10th November, Prince Edward's Island Papers to the 4th Nov., and Mirarnichi Papers to the 21st Oct. The former Papers bring accounts that the Rifle Bri gade landed at St. John's, New Brunswick, on 29th Oct. and the 81st Regiment commeneed embarking on the 2d Nov, and it was supposed would sail for Bermuda on the 6th Nov. The latter Papers contain nothing of importance. The private letters from Vera Cruz, which are of a much later date than the packet, having been brought by a frigate, state that Santa Anna had arrived at Vera Cruz. Joy was expressed in the capita, on the happy event of the surrender of the Spaniards. Consols, which left off rather heavy in the house at 94i 95 for the Account, were afterwards done at 95, buyers; and opened this morning at 95 to for January.

The decline of Consols to 944 was owing to a current report that the Office for receiv ing Life Annuities had stopped receiving until Monday ; this caused alarm to the speculators in the Funds, but on inquiring at the office, we find that they would not receive for a few minutes, until they arranged a new table of interest, from 31. ss. to 31. 45., owing to the high price of the Funds, and they continue to receive the Life Annuities as before. The moment the above was known at the Stock Exchange, the Consol market im proved from 944 to 95 for the Account. The private letters from Vera Cruz state, that two con ductors had arrived at Vera Cruz, one from Mexico with eight hundred thousand dollars, and the other from Tam pico, with four hundred and sixty thousand dollars for merchants' account. Accounts from Ancosta, in the Halifax papers received this morning, state, that by different affidavits, taken by Captain Bayside, it appears that great depression and con siderable injury to the fisheries have been committed by vessels from the American States.

DILIVORTIf. The LORD Crixtic Emma. observed, in giving judgment, that the question in this case arose out of the bankruptcy of Dilworth and Co., who bad carried on the business of bankers, in Lancaster. They were the treasurers of the Lancaster Canal Company. The Canal Company was in.. corporated by an Act of Parliament in 1792. The Act gave the power of purchasing and holding lands for the purposes of the Company. As a corporation they held and now hold real property; and the profits arising from the concern were profits arising out of real estate. For the purpose of carrying on the consern, it became necessary to raise a certain sum, which was raised by the contributions of the shareholders: This the share holders were entitled to be reimbursed according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament, out of the subse quent profits of the concern. '1 hese profits to this ex tent, and in this view, were to be considered as resulting from real estate, and to be regarded as real property. Another clause however in the Act, completely con trouled this general rule, and declared that the shares s.nd the profits arising from them, should be con sidered as personal estate, and transmissible as such. It was contended at the bar that the shares were only to be considered as personal, for the purpose of trans mission to the personal representatives of shareholders. No such limitation was expressed by the Act ; nor could the Court assume that the Legislature had any such limitation in contemplation by the broad and general terms in which the provision was expressed. The consequence of this was, that the shares or property in such shares held by the bankrupts at the time of their bankruptcy, passed to the assignees. The question, how ever, in this case was, whether the shares held by Mr. Dilworth, at the time of his bankruptcy, were under the order and disposition of that gentleman at the period im mediately preceding his bankruptcy as the reputed owner? Upon the most minute examination the Court could give of the evidence, his Lordship could lay his hand upon no act or acts that deprived Mr. Dilworth of his character of a shareholder prior to his bankruptcy ; and, under such circumstances, he felt bound to decree that the shares of Mr. Dilworth passed to the assignees under the bank ruptcy. The appeal was dismissed, and the assignees ordered to have their costs out of the estate. A petition, also, for a releasing, which had been presented pending the present judgment, vas directed to be dismissed with costs. SWEET V. ARCHBOLD. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that with respect to this application to dissolve the injunction that had been made yesterday, he bad read the papers and made up his mind on the various points. As to the piracy from the practice of the Court of King's Bench into the practice of the Court of Common Pleas, l►e had formed a very strong opinion ; as well as with respect to the supposed licence. These opinions, or the grounds of them, lie was unwilling to express, unless called on to do so by Mr. Archbold's Counsel (who had discretion enough not to make the call.) The Court was of opinion that there must be a trial upon the subject at law, particularly with respect to the effect of the licence; but his Lordship was quite sure that before the parties went into Court ►hey would come much nearer to a settlement among themselves than the amount would be of extra costs either party would have to pay ; and con sequently, that it would be infinitely more prudent for them to come to an arrangement than go to trial. The Council on both sides considered, after this intima tion from the Bench, it was probable that an arrangement would be come to out of Court, and resting here reserve to themselves the opportunity of mentioning the cause again to his Lordship, should it become necessary. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT.-FRY V. LORD SHERBORNE. His HONOUR (theVice-Chancellor) gave a most elaborate judgment in this case; the question in which was, whether under the words of a settlement made upon the marriage of a gentleman of the name of Estcorrt Creswell with a Miss Wootton, their only child, a daughter, (under whom the plaintiff claimed) was entitled previous to her death to have a sum of 10,000/. raised as her portion under that settle ment. The Vice-Chancellor went through the facts of the case with great minuteness, citing and commenting upon several cases as authorities upoe which he acted in coming to the conclusion he did, that Miss Creswell clearly was entitled before her death to have her portion raised under the settlement, and that those claiming under her ought to have the 10,000/. which had been paid into Court by Lord Shelborne, who, it appeared, had become a purchaser of part of the Creswell estates. His Honour also directed that the costs of all parties should be paid by the trustees. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. NEWBOLD V. MASON AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover damages for an assault which the plaintiff alleged had been committed upon hina by the defendant. After evidence had been adduced to prove the assault, 14r:.Justice J. PARKS left it to the Jury to say whether they considered that the provocation given by the plaintiff was sufficient to justify the assault. The Jury, after a few minutes' consideration, found a verdict for the plantiff—Damages, 51. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY had an interview this morning with the Duke of WELLINazotr, in Downing-street. A correspondent, who gives his name and address, has sent the following statement :—Two ladies were yesterday afternoon walking together in the Strand, and an elderly man, of short stature, with a bundle under his arm, in appearance much like a Spitalfields weaver, followed close behind them, for a short distance, and from his mouth squirted over the silk dresses of both ladies an acid liquid, that entirely destroyed the colours of both their silk dresses. Within there few days many ladies dresses, have, we are told, been entirely spoilt in the same manner. Times. -- --- CAMBRIDGE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.- A meeting of the Philosophical Society was held on Monday evening, the Rev. Dr. TURTON, the President, being in the Cliair. Mr. ROTHMAN, of Trinity College, read a notice of an observation of the winter solstice at Alexandria, which is rewarded in Sifnaun, and which has hitherto not been understood, from its being spoken of by the author as an observation of au equinox. Professor WilEsvEu. continued reading his paper, " On the Causes and Characters of Pointed Architecture ;" and explained the influence of the pointed arch upon the other members of buildings, through which influence the Romanesque style was at last superseded by the very opposite forms of the Gothic. It was stated also that the transition from one of these styles to the other, which took place in Eng land by means of the early English style, was made in Germany by means of a very different one, which may be termed early German. Of this style the characters were given in some detail, and it was remarked that, among these, the invention of the flying buttress was of as much importance to the development of the Gothic style, as that of the pointed arch, Observations were also communi cated by Mr. MILLAR, of St. John's College, on the forms and angles of the crystals of boracic acid, indigo, and borate and bicarbonate of ammonia. After the meet ing, Professor SEOGNVICK gave an account of the geolo gical structure of the Austrian Alps, illustrated by the representation of a section traversing their chain, and passing from the plains of Bavaria to the calf of Venice. .OLD i3AILEY SESSIONS--(THIS DAY) OLD COURT.

(From the Manchesti:r Pimps of this day—S•►turday.) On Monday last, St. Andrew's day was celebrated in this town, by two parties, one of which numbering a hun dred and fifty-eight gentlemen, met in Salford Town Hall, and another of fifty-five, in the York Hotel, King-street. At six o'clock, the Salford company were all mustered is the Ante-rooms of the Hall, and in a few minutes afterwards took their seats in the large room, the excellent band of the 87th playing with great effect, " Oh, the auld Scotish trail brose." The Chairman, William Grant, Esq. was supported by John Walker, Esq. of Levenshuhne, the Reverends Campbell, M'Kerrow, and Carlisle, Dr. Hen derson, of Bury, &c. M. Sinclair, Esq., M. D., occupied the Vice-Chair. The dinner, which was provided by 111. Hayward, of the Bridge-street Hotel, was plentiful and elegant. Before the cloth was drawn, the drones of a bag pipe were heard on the stairs, and the door opening, in marched a piper of the 93d, pealing warlike music, and creating quite a sensation. During the evening the very , full and effective band continued to play a number of na tional airs, and the company were also gratified by some beautiful airs on the harp, by Williams, who has, for some years carried off the principal prizes at the Eisteddfod. After dinner, and when one of the clergymen had re turned thanks, Mr. GRANT rose and proposed " The health of our gracious Sovereign the King, Baron Ren frew, Duke of Lancaster, and may God bless him." This toast, which was drunk with the usual honours, was ap propriately followed by the song, from Mr. Hudson, " Here's a health to the King, God bless him !" The next toast was " The Royal Family," and then " The Ladies." Mr. Grant then, after expressing the gratifica tion which all Scotsmen must feel, that the rose and thistle were now entwined, gave " The Land o' Cakes," which was drunk with enthusiasm, and was followed by• an ap propriate song by Mr. Platt. The Chairman then gave " The land we live in," prefacing it by some remarks on the hospitable and kind character of its people, and the disappearance of all rivalry between them and their northern neighbours, which in former days had occasioned so much bloodshed. " The Army and Navy" were then given with the usual honours. Mr. PaissinCir having obtained the Chairman's permis sion to propose , a toast, addressed the Vice-Chairman—My fellow-stewards, : said he, have permitted me the privilege of addressing you, and I do it with pleasure, whatever embarrassment I may-feel.; for although I am not much accustomed to be eulogistic, nothing can give me greater satisfaction than to bestow on worth the praise that is justly its due. To a person occupied in observing the conduct of prominent men, grieved as he must often be at the failings and folly of some, and indignant as he must often feel at the perversity and profligacy of others, it is exceedingly refreshing to to be able at times to regard the course of a man whose whole careeegives:evidence that he possesses, in an eminent degree, the best qualities of the head and the heart. Were I now to draw the picture of such a charac ter, I know that you would at once understand whom I in tended to describe, and that I had risen to propose to you the health of William Grant.—(Loud and long continued cheering.)--1 knew, Gentlemen,. that the bare mention of this honoured name would be sufficient to ensure your plau dits, and perhaps I should do well to say no more; but I cannot deny myself the pleasure of stating on whit grounds I consider him as entitled to the most public manifestation of our respect. I will not dwell, Gentlemen, on the in dustry and integrity which have characterized Mr. Grant's business life, because industry is necessary to all success, and a certain degree of integrity also, for honesty has at all times been found the best policy; but it is not a slight thing where the most wary circumspection and the ut most keenness seem indispensible to successful dealings to say of William Grant, and of the house of Grant and Brothers, that the man does not live who can accuse them of one single shabby transaction.—(Loud and reiterated cheering.)—l say, Gentlemen, continued Mr. Prentice when silence was restored, that in men who from small beginnings have become as the princes of the land, it is no slight thing to be able to challenge the world to adduce one single instance where they have taken advantage of the poverty of those who have sold to them, or where they have used undue harshness to those who have bought of them, and have unfortunately been un able to pay them, .nr where they have exercised an act of oppression to one of the thousands, and tens of thou sands to whom they have , given. employment.—(En thusiestic and long-continued applause.)-,Gentlemen, the wealth of Princes has been acquired, not mer e ly without One act of. injustice, but without one sacrifice of elevated and generous feeling, .and can we, therefore, regard the head of this honourable house with other sentiments than those of respect . and, admiration ? (Loud cheers.) I will not trespass on your time, by, dwelling on the character of our Chairman as, a pious son, an affectionate brother, and a warm friend, though lie is eminently exemplary in all of these relations; nor will I give bins pain by any eulogy on that well known disposition of his, which makes his heart and hand, " open as day to melting charity." (Great ap plause.) I wish to confine myself to his character as a merchant and a magistrate. There is, Gentlemen, in this our adopted country a law which says, that no man shall perish for want of food, while there exists the power to relieve him. Some may think that such a law is impolitic, as encouraging improvident habits. Others may, like me, he convinced that such a provision for the poor is not only in perfect accordance with the merciful precepts of Christianity, but as a measure of policy, absolutely necessary for the safety of the other more fortunate classes of the community. But whatever may be thought of the law itself, there can be no doubt that in its administration, it is highly important the Ma gistracy should exercise their discretionary powers with sound judgment and good feeling. (Hear, hear, hear.) —And, Gentlemen, allow me to say, that in this most important department of his duties, our excellent Chair man is distinguished alike for the firmness which disre gards the importunities of the worthless, and the hu manity which gives prompt relief to the distressed.— (Great applause. )—I have spoken of the qualities which entitle our 'excellent Chairman to our respect. Ile has another quality, which especially entitles him to our affec tion—his nationality. Though his is the spirit of a citizen of the world, and though he is ready to hail every man, of every nation, as his brother ; Lis heart especially warms at the sight of the tartan, and we know that his is no lukewarm spirit, when he recognizes " Scotland, his auld respected mither."—(Enthusiastic cheers.)—l am. sure, Gentlemen, that in drinking the toast I am going to pro pose, you will all feel that you are doing no more than a just homage to exalted merit. Let us therefore pay the tribute to sense and worth to which they are so well en. titled ; and further, Gentlemen, Let us pray, that come it may, " As come it shall, for a' that ; That sense an worth, o'er a' the earth, " Shall bear the gree for a' that." The CHAIRMAN rose amid the applause which followed these observations, and his rising caused its renewal with increased energy. He said he felt extremely gratified to see around him so many of his esteemed friends, and so re spectable a company on an occasion when they could Hill the wishes of an ancient monarch of their native land, who having achieved a glorious victory, 'assumed net to himself or his brave warriors the merit, but piously ascribed his success to the God of battles, and instituted an order which the motto nemo me impure lucesstt,whoever touches me shall net go unpunished, a motto that has been the Scotsman's pride ever since —(Loud applause.)—and I trust, said Mr. Grant, we shall not, when we meet on the Saint's day, be less:mindful of the God of armies, than that pious Prince was; and though we may boast of our bravo kings and our brave generals, our Wellingtons and our Grahams, we will not forget that we owe dependence upon a kind Providence.—(Great Cheering. )—On a former St, Andrew's Day, I had the honour of entertaining some officers of the Scots Greys, that noble 'regiment that so often has made our enemies tremble, and next year, it seem., that for want of a better I was selected to preside over you. I should have been glad if Lord Balcarras had now been enabled to fill the chair ; or our good friend David Bannerman, the Boroughreeve of Manchester, but he, alas !• is ill. However, Gentlemen, I could not refuse your depntation, and agreed at once to dine with you, (Loud eheers.")—l should have been glad if all the natives of Caledonia could have dined together ; but there is only a bridge between us and our friends in King-street, and perhaps, with a long pull and a strong pull, we may be pulled together next year.—( Loud cheers.)—Let us, there fore, drink to our friend Connell and the Gentlemen at the York Hotel, and to our countrymen all over the world, who are now celebrating St. Andrew's day.—(Loud and long applause.) Gentlemen, resumed Mr, Grant, I should not have sat down without expressing my heartfelt thanks for the ho nour you have done me ; but I fear I cannot reply to all the kind and friendly things that have been said of me by Mr. Prentice. It is delightful to me to see that al though our English friends tell us we dinna like to gang back again to Scotland, we like England so well, that a Scotsman never forgets his country.—(Loud cheers and laughter.)-1 hope these meetings will continue, and that we shall often meet and spend happy St. Andrew's days together. My esteemed countrymen, accept my grateful • thanks for the honour you have done me. Long may ye • all live, and happy may ye all be.—(Loud applause.) • The next toast was " The towns and trades of Man chester and Salford." " Gentlemen, (said Mr. Grant) ovhen I came to Manchester, there were only two factories in it.;--(Hear, hear.)—Since that time, many , changes have taken place. Many of my freodS, have 'been re moved ley death, and many whom I havi , 'Seen in pros= parity have experienced bitter adversity-- ; I Live-seen the trade of the place flourishing, and I have seen it sick ; (a laugh)—aye, and have seen it unco' ill at (great laughter)—but, somehow, it has aye come round again, and, gentlemen, I hope it will never die.—(Loud and long cheering. )--Vire have yet some mechanical ge nius, and some integrity and industry, and, thank Gud, Some wealth also ; and I trust that whatever other nations do, we shall always keep a day's march before them.— (Loud applause. )—Let the rich be kind to the poor, and let the poor he industrious and contented, and let us all pull together, and I hope we shall see things righted yet.-- (Renewed applause.)—The General can do nothing without his soldiers, and the Admiral nothing without his sailors, and the master nothing without his men : and I hope God will bless their united labours, and send bread to the poor, and make the land rejoice in peace and plenty.—(lmmense applause.)—Again, my esteemed friends, allow me to express the pleasure I have in meet ing so numerous and gentlemanly a company, and to hope that we shall all meet again and often." The next toast proposed by the CHAIRMAN was " The Scottish Universities and their Graduates," many of whom the Chairman said he rejoiced to see around him. Dr. SINCLAIR, the Vice-President, rose to acknowledge the honour that had been conferred on the graduates of the UniVersities. It was well known, he said, that these se minaries of learning were originally ecclesiastical corpora tions, instituted for the cultivation of divinity; and that, consequently, while Priests maintained the centroul, phi losophy and science were utterly neglected, until a change in the religious sentiments of men gave a new impulse to the mind, which overthrew Popery and the traintsels that had been imposed on the advancement of literature. The Universities were new modelled on a more liberal basis, and being unfettered by ecclesiastical domination, were fa mous for being the promoters of knowledge. The Rev. Mr. CAMPBELL (Minister of the Scots Kirk at Rochdale) here rose and said he must protest against the continuance of language which aspersed any class of men. Dr. SINCLAIR said he would have proceeded very briefly to state the advantages that had resulted from giving the Professors, instead of rich livings, a very scanty provision, but not to give offence even to one man, he would desist, and conclude by again thanking the company on his own behalf, and on the part of his fellow graduates, for tile ho nour they bad done them. The Rev. I. CARLILE, A.M., also briefly acknow ledged the honour conferred on the graduates of the Uni vereities. " The Kirk of Scotland" was the next toast, and after it had been given, The Rev. Mr. CAMPBELL rose, and said that as a mem ber of that Church, he felt bound to thank the company, although he wished the duty had been placed in better hands. He had never spoken at any public meeting but one, and then he made so complete a bungle of it, that he resolved never to inflict a speech on any company again ; but he was now going to break his resolution. He could not help saying that he loved the Church of Scotland. He could not help thinking that it was a pure Church, and he trusted there was no truth in the remark that when Scotsmen left their native land they forgot their religion and their Mother Church. He could not but congratulate the Meeting on the prospect of there being erected in the town of Manchester a Church in connection with that establishment which must be dear to them all ; and he could not help saying that they would rejoice to have an opportunity of worshipping the God of their fathers in the Church within whose pale their fathers' fathers had wor shipped. He hoped the patriotic feeling that had been awakened would be fostered, and that they would soon have to rejoice in meeting together, when out of their fa thers' -land, as one family within the Mother Church.— (Applause.) Mr. GRANT said, that they owed a duty to the mother church, and that he would be amongst thefirat to acknow ledge it. They had reason to congratulate themselves on having a respectable and able Minister among them of another denomination, and on his now having an able young colleague. There was little in the mere name of a church, for men would be judged not by what church they had gone to, but by what they had done. He would most cheerfully contribute.his share to the establishment of a Scotch Kirk, and provided it were on a scale like that of the national churches, he would give his 500/. towards its erection.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. PRENTICE said he would rejoice in seeing the pro gress of any thing that would advance the cause of religion amongst his countrymen, and therefore he was glad to hear of the prospect of a Kirk being built ; but he could not but rise to remark that in the Address-• of the Rev. Gentleman, there was a most extraordinary omission of all notice of the Kirk that was already established here.— (Hear:)—" Yes," said Mr. P. " the Kirk. We have a Scottish Kirk and Scottish Ministers, and that Kirk is not" less dear to us that it is the reformed Kirk."—(Loud cheers.)—As a Member of the Secession Kirk of Scotland, he should think he did not do his duty if in any assembly of men, who venerated the character of their forefathers, he did not claim for it that respect which its purity de manded from them; and he was sure that the Chairman would gladly give him permission to propose the health of the venerable Dr. Jack, and his congregation. Mr. GRANT said, he would give the toast with the greatest pleasure, and would add to it the health of Mr. M'Kerrow, Dr: Jack's young colleague, who had favoured them with his company in the early part of the evening. The toast was then given with general applause. The CHAIRMAN, after having given several other toasts, appropriate to the occasion, rose, and begged to call the attention of the company to an awful inundation in Scot land, which had rendered 500 families utterly destitute, and covered the fertile soil with sand and gravel. A sub scription had been opened for the sufferers, and he and his brothers had given 1001., but all that had been raised was insufficient for the relief of the poor people who had escaped only with their lives. He felt unwilling to press upon their liberality, but he could not help taking the opportu nity of saying that a subscription book was opened at the Exchange, where the smallest contributions would be thankfully received. Mr. Grant concluded by drinking to the health of the strangers, as usually described, but Scots men knew no strangers on such occasions. Mr. THOMAS PEET briefly and neatly returned thanks for this honour, and eulogised the industry and integrity of the Scotch, and said a better instance could not be given, than that which the Chairman afforded in his own person, of the advantages of these qualities to the country of their adoption. The Chairman then took his leaVe amid the loud plaudits of all the company. The Vice-President was called, by general acclamation, to the chair, and Colin Gillespie, Esq. to the vice chair, and a number of other toasts and songs were given, amongst which was " Per petuity to the St. Andrew's day meetings, as long as they are conducted on popular principles ;" and it was an nounced that the Committee would appoint half a dozen or ten gentlemen to confer with the same number appointed by the gentlemen in Manchester, as to an union in one place next year, with a view to the support of a charitable in stitution, or to make other arrangements if that union could not be effected. The company broke up about half-past eleven, and before twelve the last lingerer on the scene of festivity had taken his leave. THE MANCHESTER DINNER. About six o'clock in the evening, a party of fifty-five gentlemen, including some of the most wealthy and respec able of our Scottish residents, with a few English friends, sat down in the York Hotel, in King-street, to a most sumptuous dinner, which, although the first public enter tainment provided by the landlord, Mr. Swyer, was served up in a style that would have done credit to the most ex perienced restaurateur. Edward Connell, Esq., of St. Peter's Cottage, filled the chair, and Captain Hay the rice chair. The excellent band of the Ist Dragoons was in at tendance in an anti-room, and one of the pipers of the 93d. On the cloth being removed, the following toasts were given from the Chair, with a few introductory remarks to each :—" The Kiag, Duke of Rothsay, and Baron Ren frew" (four times four). " The Duke of Clarence and the rest of the Royal Family," (three times three)—Band, " Rule Britannia." " The Duke of Wellington, the Hero of Waterloo"—Band, " See ! the Conquering Hero." . The PRESIDENT, in proposing the memory of the " Gude St. Andrew," expressed his trust that all Scots men, both those who remained in their native country, and those who, after " wandering mony a weary fit," had settled elsewhere, would still gather themselves together at every annual recurrence of this festival. In this town these meetings had not been observed with unfailing regu larity, but as it was now proposed to form a society in connection with these anniversaries, and as the benevolent purpose of establishing a school was also proposed to be attached to it, he hoped that a greater degree of regular* would attend their future meetings. For himself, he cor dially hailed the proposal, and trusted that it would re• ceive adequate support. He then gave " The memory of the pious and good St. Andrew," in solemn silence. The PRESIDENT, in proposing " The Land o' Cakes," observed that lie could say nothing that Would add to the warmth of those feelings and recollection s which. were called up by the toast, whether they looked back to the family firesW of their infancy, to " those simmer days when they pain,l ;n the burn," or to those more advanced years when ti en. first lagan to throb at the sight, of a bonnie lassie. When they considered also the present secure and pe.u.'eable state of their native country, as con trasted with the turbulence of former times, the toast afforded matter I,Oth for warm and pleasurable reflection. " The Land o' Cakes." Mr. OONNELL-Having drank the land of cakes, we must not forget the hospitable land we live in. —(Immense cheering. )--Our southern friends joke us that we don't like to go hack again.—(Laughter.)—But I have a good set off against these gentlemen, for I tell them that some of th e m would gladly be Scotsmen if they could.—(A laugh.) —Where is there a fair fabric in society that is not well sprinkled with Scotsmen ?—(Cheering and laughter ) —Without them things certainly don't go on well.—(A laugh. )_This brings to my recollection an anecdote of a Scotsman who had long lived in London, and who had been sore pressed by some Cockneys about the unwilling ness of the Scots to return to their own country. Egad, Gentlemen, (says he) take care what you're about, for faith if a' the Scotsmen in London were to gang aff, you might stick a ticket upon Temple-bar, ' A toon to let.' " —(Great laughter,) The PRESIDENT in proposing the next toast observed, that since the Union the prosperity and happiness of Scot land has been progressive. He wished to God that their fair sister Erin were equally happy, content, and prosper ous. But he trusted the day was not far distant when she would appear - in all her strength and beauty, and when the three united kingdoms would present to the world the aspect of a spotless family, free, happy. and brate.—" The Rese, the Thistle, and the Sharnroek." The PRESIDENT, after a few complimentary remarks, proposed " the Magistrates of the Division." The PRESIDENT, in proposing the Authorities of the Town, observed, that when they got gentlemen, at great inconvenience to themselves, to watch over their domestic peace, they were bound to cheer then on in the discharge of their duty, and to assure them of their best support.— (Cheers. )—They were all happy in having at this moment officers so efficient and so respectable. ,The BOROUCHREEVE, in returning thanks for the com pliment paid to himself and his colleagues brso respect able a company, stated that if they received the approba tion of their townsmen, it would be the greatest satisfac tion they could obtain. The PRESIDENT said, that although there were not yet arrived at the winking hour of midnight, the time was come when they must drink to a band of witches—not however, those whom Burns describes as Wither'd beldams, auld and droll, Rigwiddie hags wad spear a foal." but rather resembling the " bonnie burdiLs" imagined in the succeeding lines of the same poet, which he repeated with great effect. He then gave--" nose ' plump and strapping queens,' the Lancashire Witches."—Three times three and one cheer more. The BOROUGHREEVE proposed the health of the gentle man who had so satisfactorily and ,ably filled the Chair that evening.—(Great applause.) The PRESIDENT, in returning thanks, said they bad spent a very pleasant evening, and in the words of the air they had just heard, if there was ony luck about the house, while he was gudeman, the hick wad na gang awa' for a guid while yet.—(Loud laughter.) The CHAIRMAN, in proposing "The Towns and Trades of Manchester and Salfimd," hoped that although a cloud bad for some time hung over our commei cial horizon, it would soon be dispelled, and we would yet Lave better times. Mr. CONNELL then proposed " The health of William Grant, Eq. and our countrymen who are celebrating this day in Salford."—(Cheers.) As countrymen they were well entitled to the regards of the compariy, and be was glad to find that the two parties were provoking each other to good works. A more liberal, a better hearted man than Mr. Grant, did not exist in this or any other country.— (Cheers. )—Drunk with three times three. Mr. WALKER, jun., in proposing " the health of our countrymen all over the world " read the following extract from a poem, written for the occasion of the Liverpool St. Andrew's dinner, in 1527 My countrymen ! at this same hour, Where Ganges distant waters pour; Where swells Jamaica's verdant land; Where stretches Afric's deadly strand; Wherc'er is heard the ocean's roar, Or Commerce glads the foreign shore : Where'er is spread the lofty sail, This day rejoicing Scotchmen hail! It brings to mind the days long sped, When gallant Scots " Wi' Wallace bled ;" Their ain firesides it brings to min' And loud they chorus " Auld lang sync," And scorn the wretch, whose heart, whose face, Ne'er turns to home, that holy place. And shall, not we, then pledge, to day, Our Brothers who are far away ; And shall not we our love proclaim. Of a' that loves and moves at haute? - Yes! we will drain th' inspiring bowl, And share the genial flow of soul : While full the stream of friendship runs, We'll drink to England's, Erin's, sons : Our prayer—that long in peace repose, The Thistle, Shamrock, and the Rose. The toast was drank with much enthusiasm. The PRESIDENT said, that the words of the last song recommended that they should cherish and love one an other, a sentiment which they could not too closely or earnestly cultivate. There were some friends present who had not been born north of the Tweed, and who had this evening given proofs of that kindly feeling. They were not Scotsmen, but that was not their fault,—(Laughter)— and they were entitled to the thanks of the Scotsmen present, for favouring them with their company. " The gentlemen not born north of the Tweed who have favoured ns with their company to-day,"—(Three times three and one more ) Mr. R. C. SHARP rose to return thanks, as one of those who had the misfortune not to be born north of the Tweed.—(Laughter.)—He had been proud to accept the invitation so kindly sent him, because although born in this town, and proud of the name of Englishman, he was not less proud that he was connected with Scotland by mar riage.—(Applause.)—He was quite sure that both be and the other strangers present were most happy, to meet to gether so many natives of the " land of the mountain and the flood," whose sons were pre-eminently distinguished for heroism and bravery, and whose daughters stood among the very foremost in the ranks of virtue and beauty.—(Cheers.)—For the heroic deeds and venturous exploits of Scotia's sons, it was not necessary to revert to the ancient annals of her history, since they shone forth so gloriously i❑ the late protracted war. He need only refer to the names of Abercrombie, Moore,Hope, Dal housie, and Graham, to prove that during the momentous struggle, Scotland had sent forth a host of brave men.— (Cheers.)—The hospitality of Scotland was not less con spicuous than her bravery. Her arms were ever open to the strangers who visited her shores ; and there never was a man, deserving of the name, who visited Scotland, with out receiving the most gratifying proofs of her hospitality. —(Cheers.)—Mr. Sharp concluded by proposing---" The health of the Stewards. Mr. BARBOUR returned thanks on behalf of himself and the other Stewards. He hoped these Meetings would long be kept up. There was a pleasure in once a year throw ing aside the distinctions which prevailed amongst them, and in calling to recollection the early:scenes of their lives; and he was gratified to find that there was an intention of conjoining with those Meetings objects of a higher and nobler character. The PRESIDENT gave, " The Universities of Scotland, which had long maint lined a high rank in the literary world. Long may they - flourish and send forth their sons thoroughly furnished for every good work." The Rev. Mr. WILSON, of Liverpool, returned thanks. He had been educated at St. Andrew's, which though not the largest is the most ancient university in Scotland. St. Andrew's College had sent forth a number of illustrious men, amongst whom was the learned historian Buchanan, who was its regent, and Mr. Ivory, the celebrated mathe matician, who had been peculiarly honoured by Buo naparte. Professor Leslie, of Edinburgh, was also an eleve of that College ; and Chalmers, the boast and glory of the Scottish Church, had likewise been educated there. The Reverend Gentleman, after some further remarks in praise of St. Andrew's College, proceeded to observe, that to the national Church of Scotland, in conjunction with the Universities, .that country owed all her greatness and glory. What would Scotland be without her Church and her , Universities ? It might be a land covered with red heather, but it would be a poor and miserable corner of the kingdom. The introduction of the study of the Greek language into the Scotch Univer sities was coeval with the reformation, and such was the zeal of our reformers to promote the interests of learning, that Andrew Melville, one of the regents of St. Andrew's, consented to go to Glasgow in order to gather together the scattered students, though he had the promise of nothing more than a bare subsistence. This called to his remem brance the situation in which he stood this day. He had accompanied a young clergyman (the Reverend William Sorley) to this town, whose purpose in visiting Man chester was to open a national church, in which his coun trymen could worship God as in their early (lays. The love lie bore them had prompted him to this duty, and it was gladdening to see a Christian minister animated by such a spirit. The respected Chairman had requested him to propose as a toast, " Sir Walter Scott, and the living poets of Scotland." Poetry had to do with all that was ennobling and elevating i❑ roan, Sir Walter Scott, by his writings in verse and prose (tor in his latter pro ductions there .was much of poetry) had thrown around Scotland an enchantment, by painting with his force and brilliancy the days of; former years, and had rendered the country an Object of the greatest attraction. The lakes were now visited . by individual* of all nations, in conse quence of the deli g htful de-criptions which bad been gives by S;t: Walter Scott of their scenery. Then there was Campbell, whose Micity of expression and purity of de sign Were conspicuous in all his writings, who, he be ,ieveJ, had not written a single line, " Which, dying, he would wish to blot." And, finally, he would include Allan Cunningham ; who doubtless was now celebrating the anniversary of St. An drew with his countrymen in London. Mr. BURT, after a few remarks on the excellent consti ' tution of the Church of Scotland, and the character of her ministers, proposed a bumper to" The Kirk of Scotland, and long may it flourish." The Rev. Mr. RALPH, from Liver pool, returned thanks at sonic length, and in the course of his address alluded to the object for which he and his cle rical brethren had visited Manchester. If the Church of Scotland, said he, had any feature in its character more peculiar than another, it was the quality to produce an in tellectual people. Its sermons, its prayers, its whole form of worship, the pastoral visits of its ministers, its admirable catechisms, and above all, its parochial schools,—all these were calculated to produce a refined and thinking people. From this combination of causes the fireside enjoyments of the humbler classes in Scotland were ren dered more refined than those of the peasantry of this end of the island. The reverend gentleman proceeded to oberve, that a few months ago he had the honour of being associated with two of the most distinguished ministers of Scotland (Dr. Andrew Thomson and Dr. Dun can) in a visit to this town for the purpose of promoting the spiritual interests of the natives of Scotland who resided there, by the establishment of a national church. In pri vate he and his colleagues had met with the most refined and generous hospitality, and in public a liberality unex ampled. A deputation for the same purpose had again arrived, and had experienced a Most cordial welcome.— Their object was not sectarian. They ardently wished that religion might be promoted ; and, knowing that a national church was much wanted in-the town, tkey were anxious to render all the assistance in their power to wards establishing one. Their exertions for this measure had arisen from an earnest desire to promote the best inte rests of the Scotch people in this town: The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the Rev. Win. Sot ley, which was drunk with every mark of respect. Mr. Soarant returned thanks in an able and energetic speech. The kind reception which he had experienced from the company would ever be deeply impressed on his mind; and the warm approbation which had been be stowed ON the object for the promotion of which he had left Scotland, could not fail to call forth the most grateful feelings. If the enterprize in which lie had embarked did at first view, and on the mere calculation of human probability, appear to a too suspicious, per haps, and distrustful mind, somewhat unpromising, he had seen enough to day, and he had only been that day in town, to convince him that the Scotch inhabitants of Manchester would never allow any shoot from that goodly tree of religious knowledge whose branches overspread the land which they had left, and whose sheltering shade protected and blessed their early years, to wither, to languish, and to die, from the care lessness of cold neglect, or from the cruelty of active oppo sition. He was sure they would nurse it with a delicate and kindly hand during the feebleness of its infancy, and among thedifficulties that obstructed its progress in this foreign soil. And he would ever look back with un ntingled pleasure to the period of his abode in Manchester, if, before the termination of his short engagement, he may be of any service to his countrymen in forwarding those plans which will enable them to choose a pastor, who by his faithful and diligent ministration may fix their hopes, and increase their comforts, and gladden their hearts. At half past ten o'clock, William Grant, Esq., who had occupied the Chair at the Salford dinner, arrived, along with John Walker, Esq., to pay the compliment of a visit to the party dining at the York Hotel. They were received on his entrance into the room with three sheers by the company. A bumper was also drunk to the health of these two gentlemen, with three times three. Mr. GRANT, in returning thanks for the enthusiastic teception he had met with, addressed the cotnpauy at some length; and Mr. War.xxn having also expressed his acknowledgment, they soon after left the room, amidst re iterated cheers. The PRESIDENT gave the health of ten gentlemen who had volunteered their services as stewards for the next an nual meeting. Dr. BRAID, one of them, returned thanks, and proposed that next year the two parties who were this year dining separately, should meet in one company, to celebrate their national anniversary. Dr. B. then offered some observa tions on the proposed charitable institution to be established in connection with that anniversary, and suggested that some fund should be set apart, on the principle of the Highland Society of London, for the relief of deserving Scotsmen reduced to embarrassment and distress through unforeseen and unavoidable causes. The PRESIDENT observed, in reply to Dr. Braid's re marks, that he was not prepared to state the precise ob jects and purposes of the proposed society; but a meeting would lie held in January for the special purpose of con sidering the matter, and Dr. Braid or any other gentle men, might then attend, and make any suggestion that might be deemed desirable. A great variety of other toasts and sentiments were afterwards given, including " The memory of Burns," which was not proposed until a late hour. At half-past twelve Mr. Connell was still in the chair, and seemingly determined to fulfil his promise "not to budge for a while yet." The meeting was characterised by a happy union of conviviality with strict propriety of demeanour, and a pleasing and uninterrupted exhibition of sociality and good humour. THE ARMY. (From the Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday. To-morrow morning the following Companies of the 60th Rifles march hence to replace the-62d Regiment : Major Glenie's company, with Lieut. Corbett, to Bruff. Captain Cm Ins and Lieutenant Pasley, to Rathkale. Capt. Goldfrap and Lieut. Powis, to Newcastle ; and Captain Piggott's company, under Lieut. Bullman, with Lieut. Bunbury, to Glanasheen. - To-morrow, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the lead quarters of the 60th Rifles and 62d, will exchange Bar racks ; the former to the Castle and Square, the latter to the New Barracks. Captains Nair, Bagot, Pender, and Burgess's companies of the 62d Regiment arrive here to-morrow. There was a grand review of the 87th Royal Irish Fu sileers at Manchester on Saturday, by Major-General Sir Henry Bouverie, when this distinguished Regiment exe cuted a variety of movements with the rapidity and accu racy of veterans in discipline. The 87th is now composed of all young men. The new Royal uniform will be milli by the Regiment next spring. • The right wing of the 3d Battalion Grenadier Guards, under Colonel Higgins, commenced its marched on Mon day, from Brighton to Windsor, to do the Royal duty. Monthly returns dated 25th September, have been re ceived from the following Regiments at Malta :-7th Royal Fusi'eers, 10th, 11th, 18th, 28th, 80th, 85th, 88th, 90th, and 95th; also, returns, dated 25th of October, from the 12th, 23d, 42d, 43d, 73d, and 94th Regiments at Gibraltar. The troops in both stations enjoy perfect health. We regret to hear that Sir Mathew Tierney hal just received an account of the doath of one of his nephews, Lieutenant John Tierney, of the 40th Regiment Bengal Native Infantry, at Mahow, in the East Indies, in the 24th year of his age. This young gentleman, who ditd of an attack of spasmodiC cholera, after an illness of seventeen hours, was the second son of Thomas Tierney, Esq. late Paymaster of the 43d Light Infantry. His amiable qualities so gained him the esteem of his brother Officers, that they intend erecting a Monument to his memory. Lieutenant-General Lord R. E. 11. Somerset, ALP. is appointed Colonel of the Ist (Royal) Regiment of Dragoons, vice General Thomas Garth, deceased.— Major-General Sir John Elley, K. C. B. Governor of Galway, succeeds to the Colourlcy of the 17th Lancers, vice Lord R. E. Somerset, appointed to the Ist (Royal) Regiment of Dragoons. Despatches for Sir JAMES KEMPT, the Go vernor-General of the Ctnadas, were sent off on Thursday night from the Colonial Office. It is said that it iS the intention of Govern ment to have the cavalry barracks near Kensington Gar dens pulled down, and also the unsightly cottages adjoining them, which, as well as the barracks, are in a very dilapi dated state. The barracks are merely used as a station by a detachment of Light Dragoon Guards, aho are employed in the express duty between London and Windsor, &e. The troops who perform the above duty will then 'be stationed in the cavalry barracks at Knightsbridge, which will. prevent the facility which the present barracks afford the men of scaling the walls at night when they please, which was proved at the Coroner's Inquest held on the un fortunate woman who was found murdered hi AdiliSim's huie, Kensington. .:F_: ,~ ~- SPIRIT OF TIME PUBLIC 'JOURNALS. The renewed discussion respecting the Police may not be without its use, in leading men to re flect on the proper end of Government: When we know what the end of Governinent is, we shall know what Government ought to do, and what ought to be left to the discretion of indi viduals. In almost all the discussions on this subject, there is nothing so common as the re ferences to history, and yet nothing serves more to perplex a question than an injudicious histori cal reference. Because a measure was beneficial under certain circumstances, it does not follow that it would be beneficial under other circum stances, and therefore, however valuable the les sons that may be derived from a judicious peru sal of history, we must always bear in mind, that w e are rot to look to it for precedents to be slavishly followed. The progress of mankind from a rude to a civilized state is a very del, ions one, and measures may be called for to meet the evils of one period, which, if retorted to at another period, might themselves be productive of evil. Thus, for instance, in the feudal anarchy of Eu rope, the privileges of Corporations might tend greatly to promote civilization, while, under a more improved social state, the same privileges might be found a great impediment. Thus the civilization of Europe, and of England in par- ticular, was promoted by the success of the Monarchs in crushing the - nobility ; and those countries in which the Nobles re- :ained their power, as Poland and Scotland, bore testimony, by their stationary condi tion, to the benefit produced in the others, by the triumph of Royalty. This is well put by Sir Walter Scott in the volume of the History of Scotland forming part of Dr. Lardner's Ca binet Cyclopedia, just published. " In Govern meLt and Constitution (he says) the I:Iglis!' and Scotch Kingdoms had originally the strong est resemblance to each other, both being founded upon the feudal system, at this time universally adopted in Europe. Indeed, before the reign of Henry VII. there was little difference betwixt them. But the wars of York and Lancaster had swept off such numbers of the English No bility, and left those who remained so shorn of their power, that that politic Prince had no difficulty in executing his deep-laid purpose of depriving the Aristocracy of their influence in the State, and raising the Crown to that height of power which it displayed under the House of Tudor. This scheme, to which the intro duction of mercenary troops instead of feudal levies greatly contributed, was slowly and silently operating to increase the power of the Clown, and diminish that of the Peers ; and the Bo roughs and Commons of England, whom the King favoured as a weight in his own scale, were yet more imperceptibly gaining consequence in • the Constitution. But in Scotland the Crown was possessed of very little power, and the King could scarce be considered more than the first. Baron of the Kingdom, subject to be restrained, imprisoned, dethroned, and slain, at the pleasure of a turbulent Aristocracy difference betwixt the lower orders in the two king doms was such as might be expected from the com parative point of civilization to which each had attained. In England, the merchants were pos sessed of great capital ; the principal citizens were skilful and thriving ; the ordinary °tics sub stantial and easy, living under the protection of equal laws. The yeomen and farmers, in a great measure loosened from the dominion of their Lords by the law against feudal retainers, and other laws in favour of personal freedom, were possessed of opulence, and employed themselves in improving the agriculture of the country.in stead of following their Lords to battle. In Scotland this was all diametrically reversed. . . . . The farmers, who were in absolute de pendence on the landlords, rode up and down the country in armour attending upon their Lords, while the labours of the farm were left to old men, women, and children if a farmer took a lease over the head of another which his poorer neighbour could not afford, the dispossessed agriculturist would kill his successor to be revenged of his avaricious landlord. Nu merous laws were made to suppress these evils, but in vain ; the Judges seldom had power, and often wanted will to enforce them. The Scotch Parliament saw the disease, and prescribed the remedy; but the difficulty lay in enforcing it." But because the power of the Monarch was beneficially exercised in crushing the Nobles, it does not follow that the power which effected this ought to be retained after the evil was remedied. For a desperate disease a desperate remedy. When the Commons be came powerful, the Stuarts began to use the Nobles as instruments to oppress them, as for- . tner Monarchs had before availed themselves of the Commons to crush the Nobles. We often rid ourselves of one noxious animal by the agency of another noxious animal. In sonic countries the dread of assassination is the main check against abuse of power ; but because as sassination may have been necessary in Russia, it does not follow that it would not be a great evil in a more civilised community. What is the end of Government ? The protection of the individuals composing a community from the aggression of foreigners, and from their en croachments on each other. Hitherto, however, Governments have for the most part been com binations of a certain portion of the com munity to oppress the remainder ; and his tory exhibits to us little more than a suc cession of struggles between different parts of the same community, for the purpose of exercising or resisting oppression. The end of Government is, however, not the less what we have stated, however much those who have wielded the powers of Government may in all times have abused them. Government ought to provide Judges in sufficient number for the administering justice to all the individuals of the community, to provide a force sufficient to preserve order, in which is implied both the punishment and the prevention of crime. The business of Government is not to direct men hi what manner they shall exercise their industry or ingenuity—in what manner they shall promote their own happiness; but to prevent them from interfering with others in the fair exercise of their industry, or endeavour after happiness. Hence all monopolies are an abuse of the powers of Government. Hence all establishments which have not general or individual protection for object, are abuses. All attempts of Govern ment to give a particular direction to industry by expendmg the money of the community in .the protection of certain manufacturers, is an abuse. When one part of the community take i t particular religious belief upon on themt rest,papi(l)(lse their to tax the community f or he to o the purpose' of teaching that belief, this is an abuse. Each individual ought to be left at full liberty to provide as he best can for his own happiness, both in this world and the next, the Government merely interfering where indi viduals, in the furtherance of this object

come into collision with each other. The elder Humboldt, at one time Prussian Ambassador in this country, now a Minister of State, one of the best writers on Government in any language (and it is gratifying to see such men at the helm of State in a great country) has handled this subject well in one of his Essays It ap peared to me," he says, " that the most advan tageous situation for the citizen in a State is that in which he comes the most in contact with his fellow-citizens, and is at the same time fet tered as little as possible by the Government. This brought me immediately to the principle, that the action of the State ought never to be substituted to the action of individual citizens, but in regard to the effecting of such necessary objects as individuals alone are unable, through their own exertions, to effect ; and in this alone in my opinion, security consists. All beyond this, man procures for himself; every good lie himself acquires, every evil he repels, either singly or by means of voluntary association. The preservation of security alone, as every con flict lays the foundation for other conflicts, de mands a final uncontroulable power ; and as this is the peculiar character of a State, for this alone ought a State to be instituted. It' we extend the action of the State further, we limit the self direction of individuals in a prejudicial manner, produce a mechanical uniformity, and, in a word, destroy in them all power of trusting to their own resources. In the illustration of these ideas I have elsewhere gone into greater detail, and have endeavoured to show singly the injury which must necessarily be produced, or which, at least, cannot easily be avoided, when the State, instead of confining itself to measures for security, persists in providing for the physical or even the moral welfare of the in habitants. Regarding security, in enlarging on the means of promoting it I have endeavoured . to exclude all those which act too powerfully on the character, as, for instance, public educas tion, religion, laws of morality, and assigned those of which the use appeared to me both un prejudicial and necessary, and with this view I want the Police, Civil, and Criminal Legisla tion." These ideas of the Prussian Statesman are certainly judicious. If we try the existing institutions of this country by them, it will, we fear, be found that we have too often done those things which we ought not to have done, and left undone those things which we ought to have done. It would be displaying a want of candour not to allow that there is more scope in this country for free agency than in any other in Europe at least. With very few exceptions, any man may, throughout England, prescribe for both the bodies and souls of all his Majesty's ' :subjects. Except in case of publicans, and in certain corporate towns, any man may follow any branch of industry. A man may cultivate as lie pl ea s e s, and make such erections as he pleases on his own property. The individuals of a neighbourhood may meet and deliberate on mat ters in which they have a common interest, and associate for objects calculated to promote the common good. But while they enjoy these advan tages, it cannot be denied that the chief object of Government, security, has been very inadequately provided for. There has been nearly a complete denial of justice to all but the rich. The means for the prevention and punishment of crime have hitherto been very inadequately afforded. The Statute I3oolc, on the other hand, is full of orders and prohibitions with re ference to acts which do not come within the province of the Legislature, but ought to be left to the discretion of individuals. A great part of the money raised by Government is continu ally expended not on the proper obiects of Go vernment, but in the furtherance of „ jobs of all sorts. Tithe, as every one knows, is a tax oft food, falling on the consumers when importation is restricted, and on the growers when the im portation is free. This tax, which increases with every increase of the cost of raising food, and io therefore the most oppressive and mischievous of all taxes, is employed not on any object con nected with the proper business of Govern ment, but in paying the Clergy of a portion of the community. Instruction, as we have said, ' is no part of the business of the State, but an Affair of individuals ; and it is singular that those Journals which exclaim against an emablishment having for object the im mediate protection of individuals—namely, the new Police—as an encroachment on li berty, should at the same time loudly con tend for the application of an immense part of the taxes to the maintenance of a body which does not promote any of the ends of Govern ment, and the powers committed to which are in their exercise felt by individuals as a great oppression. We allude particularly to the ' Spiritual Courts, a relic of the times when the inhabitants of a country were considered as ex isting merely for the sake of the Church, and not the Church for the sake of the inhabitants ; Courts, which, in spite of all the recent at tempts to puirfy them, still partake largely of the spirit of the Inquisition. But, as if the appli cation of the tax levied in the shape of tithe, to the maintenance of an establishment foreign to the objects of Government were not enough, the Legislature, by a gross abuse of its powers, has subjected the inhabitants of many places, more especially in the vicinity of this me tropolis, to taxation, levied by irresponsible individuals to a large amount, for the main tenance and repair of a number of additional churches, and every day the most distressing scenes are taking place in consequence. Individuals who have struggled to discharge the usual taxes and poor rates, and other parish charges, have, when fsirly exhausted, had the beds taken from under them for rates for the sacred edifices which we owe to Lord Godcrich and the recommenda tion of Dr. Lushington. But who can enume rate all the encroachments on the community, and misapplications of public money ? From the palace to the poor-house we everywhere see jobbing. The Legislature itself is constituted through jobbing, and it communicates in return ample powers of jobbing to Magistrates, Vestry men, and all manner of functionaries. History, as we have said, is but a record of continual aggressions, and of escapes from one evil to another. Yet we derive from her lessons this consolation, that the evils become gradually more mild. In the present day oppression seldom presents itself in so odious a shape as it did in former times. Knowledge is power ; and as in telligence becomes more diffused, we may hope that, with the possession of more correct ideas as to the end of Government, they will be enabled to prevent abuses of power, and to ensure the application of the public money to the only legi timate object—the protection of the community. We may excuse foreigners who have been suf fering from the restraints on liberty imposed by Continent a l G overnments , w hi c h, b y regulating ; everything, leaves no self-direction to individuals, for, flying to the other extreme, they make mobs ' the object of their panegyric. But Englishmen are too far advanced in civilization an d , have too enlightened ideas of Government, to seek for security in the dissolution of all order—an effect t he most dreadful of all tyrannies.—Morn. Chron. Among that class of persons, unfortunately a very large one, who talk and decide_ upon grave subjects of which they are wholly ignorant, it has for some time been a favourite fancy, that a code of laws, adapted to the wants of any ripe and civilized community, might at once be simple and complete. The least reflection will suffice to show the futility of such a notion. There is no condition of mankind, but the most rude and barbarous, which does no: render necessary to its own existence a considerable intricacy of legislation. General principles can never provide for all the incidents and varieties of partictihr cases. Each fresh decision rests upon some novel circumstance which bestows a specific cha racter upon the issue under consideration. That decision becomes in effect a new law, applicable thereafter to cases like the first, but not appli cable to such as, bearing only a partial resein blance to it, contain further distinct and inde pendent features, and call for the introduction of some still more specific rules ; or, in other words, for a growing mass of precedents.— As the relations of men become more complex, and the modes of their collision more incalcu lable, it is obvious that remedies must mul j tiply with wrongs ; and, therefore, that the ptle of laws must keep pace with the advance ; ment of society. Thus it is that the oldest, wealthiest, and most cultivated nations, are those wherein what has been vulgarly termed the mis chief of voluminous laws is ever more conspicu ous. If the laws of such nations were not the most voluminous, redress of wrongs would be more impracticable for them than for any more barbarous people. .Unless, therefore, we prefer to be without the means of vindicating public or private rights-- , -that is to say,. to leave all our interests at the mercy of individual judges, hav ing no guide or counsellor but their own dis cretion, undirected by precedent, and valueless as a record for those who may succeed them—we must resign ourselves to the lesser inconve nience, of some prolixity, some redundancy, and perhaps an occasional obscurity of regulation, as the only means of escaping that far more cala mitous evil, an absolute defect of justice. Come to what determination we will upon this great question, generalize as we tray, codify as we may, the hope of arriving at simplicity through such expedients is a gross and childish delu sion. There seems to be a wish extending . Napoleon as something incomparably more perfect—and perfect on the side of bre vity and perspicuity—than the system of English law. We are far from denying the condition of strange and laborious per plexity into which some branches of the law of England have fallen, nor do we despair of seeing them experience, before long, many valuable improvements in matters both of prin ciple and proceeding : but '‘ a code" would be a flimsy sort of remedy. A code in practice is nothing more satisfactory or effective than an index. Under it each new case will still become what the nature of things, in spite of any form of words, requires that it should be,—viz. an espe cial modification of the general rule, and a pre cedent to be referred to and consulted when doubts shall arise thereafter. The following ex tract is from an able lecture by Mr. Byles, a barrister, which has just been published, and may help to dispel the illusion of those gentle men, who imagine that Napoleon has done any thing towards rendering the law of France a less complex or difficult science, as far as regards its practical use. What he really did accomplish was, the subjecting all the inhabitants of France to an equal and uniform application of it. The doctrines and decisions of French law are as yoluminous as those of the law of England, or more so, and the reference to cases of precedents Ira' common in their courts than in ours : " Do not imagine such anticipations to be the offspring of professional prejudice or timidity. Let us look at our neighbours, the French. The Code Napoleon was an inestimable benefit to them, be cause before it there existed a peculiar custom or law for every province in the kingdom. You changed laws in travelling es often as you changed horses. ' There are,' says Voltaire, f in France, more than forty distinct small populations who call themselves fellow countrymen, but who are, in reality, as much strangers to each other as Tonquin is to Cochin- China.' For these variegated, and often barbarous legal customs, the code substituted an uniform and enlightened system of jurisprudence-ssthe most mag nificent monument to the memory of the great roan whose name it bears. "But has it dimiuislied the volume and bulk of the French law ? Oh, no ; but increased it beyond measure. At first, it is said, it was imagined that a mar. bad nothing to do but to purchase the now code, and eur.s”lt this beautiful, brief, perspicuous work, like a dictionary, upon occasion. But it was found that millions of cases were unprovided for ; and that if they were to be decided on general prin ciples, oaa man's reason would incline him to this conclusion, another's to that. What was:to be done but to refer to the Roman law ?—that noble com mentary of the law of nature, forming the substratum of all the Jaws of continental Europe, and verifying, in a secondary sense, the prediction of the ancient Romans, touching tha eternity of their empire. The institutes, the pandects, the code, and the novels, are now ea much law in France as in the Roman empire in the reign of Justinian, besides the corn. mentaries, in numerous folio volumes, of Cujas, Hei peccius, Hofacker, Bynkershoek, Gothofred, Voet, Vinnius, Dornat, Pothier, and many Wigs. " In addition to all these, the former materials of French law are required at every step to explain the codes ; the Ordonnanea d Roi, the droit ancien, the droit intermediare ; not to mention the draft of the code, the works preparatory to the code, the observations of the Court of Appeal upon it when in progress, and the discussions on its enactment. Add to this the French Legislative Acts for the last twenty-five years, and a body of reports more voluminous than our common law, equity, and eccle siastical reports together for the same interval, and you will have some idea of the volume of the French law, greatly exceeding the volume of our own law, and in a more rapid state of accretion. " But lest I should be suspected of exaggeration, allow me to cite one of their own writers Since,' says he, the code has been promulgated, and these new tables of the law have been exposed to the view of the people, a thousand and a thousand un expected questions have presented themselves to the judges and the lawyers. A perpetual discussion has been kept up on every subject, on every article, and on every word ; ten thousand decisions have been pronounced, several hundreds of treatises and commentaries have been published. Numerous laws, decrees, decisions of the Council of State, have abrogated or interpreted the provisions of the new code. Jurisprudeace, doctrine, legislation, are all accumulating—are all multiplying in a ratio al ways increasing, and the science will soon become nothing but an inextricable labyrinth.' "—Tiuzes. stealing two shawls exposed for sale at a shop door, and sentenced to seven years' transporta tion, the Chairman observing, at the time, that it was more advisable to inflict that punishment upon him than to permit such an incorrigible offender to remain in the country. What fol lowed being the ground of the observations which we made, we repeat the circumstances here in the words of our Reporter :—" The culprit was then proceeding from the- bar, when he suddenly turned round, and, indignantly glancing at the Worthy Chairman, exclaimed, Well, then, I hope you may stick' there till I come back.— . The Court ordered the prisoner to be again placed at the dock, and the Chairman, addressing him, remarked that he would completely nullify Isis prediction by sentencing him to be trans ported beyond the seas for the term of his natu ral life." This alleged aggravation of punishment for a stupidly offensive expression to the Bench, naturally excited a good deal of public feeling; the circumstance of inflicting but seven years' transpor tation for the crime, and altering that sentence to transportation for life, as a punishment for the , contempt of Court, was thought an extraordi nary stretch of judicial authority. In some Journals it was animadverted on in strong terms; but an Evening Ministerial Paper undertook to defend it. We replied to the remarks in that Paper. We showed the erroneous view it had taken of the doctrine of punishment in the law of England, and at the same time expressed our conviction that, upon cool reflection, Mr. Const would regret lie had been betrayed into such a departure from principle by the excited feelings of the moment, whether he acted on his own impulse, or at the suggestion of any of his bro ther Magistrates. It is, therefore, with unfeigned pleasure we find, from the report of the Middle sex Sessions, which we give this day, and from other authority, that Mr. Const repudiates, as we hoped he would, the defence set up for him by the writer in the Courier, and also disavows having really intended to carry the sentence of transportation for life into effect. It appears, now, that the record of the original sentence of transportation for seven years was never altered ; arid we only regret that Mr. Const (lid not take an opportunity of letting this fact go forth to the world before, as it would have rendered our comment upon the subject unnecessary. Mr. Const, in his explanation, alluding to our article, says, " The observations are extremely just and proper ; I highly approve of them, and can ap preciate the good intentions of the writer—but they are founded upon a mistaken fact, arising out of an erroneous report of the trial." Here we must take the liberty of stating, that the re ports of the trial in other papers substantially agreed with our's. The great point is, the cir cumstance of a sentence of transportation for life being pronounced after the much lighter sentence having been recorded. Now, did this happen, or did it not ? Mr. Const himself admits it lid— for in his explanation he says, " on leaving the bar the prisoner made use of some disrespectful expression, and it was suggested by one of the Bends that ho should be called back, in order to make an impression on his companions, who had witnessed his hardened conduct. Ac cordingly he was replaced at the bar, and told that he should be transported for life, on ac count of his being so irreclaimably bad. This sentence, although formally passed in Court. was not intended to be carried into effect ; but was merely held out (by the suggestion of a brother Magistrate) in terrorens as an example, or to make an impression on the less culpable of the prisoner's companions, This feeling could not be mistaken by most persons in Court ; but stilt he did not attach any blame to the Reporter of the trial in question, who had inadvertently been the means of misleading the public as re garded the true feeling under which the sentence was nominally given." We agree with Mr. Const that blame was not to be attached to the Reporter, whose duty it was to report Acts, and not intentions. The worthy Chair man goes on to state that he immediately spoke to the Clerk of the Peace, and told him that the latter sentence was not to be recorded, and lie concludes with the following expres sions, which do him great credit both as a pub lic functionary and a man ;---•-•" I-feel a great gratification in giving this explanation of my public conduct, which, in common wi:h all per sons filling similar or more important judicial offices, is open to be canvassed by the public." It is from a person of the understanding and acquirements which Mr. Const is known to pos sess that we would expect this liberal sentiment respecting the exercise of the rational and legiti mate freedom of the Press. We think the worthy Chairman must have observed that, how ever anxious we showed ourselves to be for the preservation of the principles of British justice, it was with pain we directed the eyes of the public towards his judicial conduct with any thing like a feeling of disapprobation. It may bp a question whether it was right to pass the second sentence at all, seeing that there was no serious intention of carrying it into effect ; but there can be no qnestion that the proceed ing of the worthy Chairman was dictated by the purest motives, as we believe all his judicial acts to be—for, during the long time that he has filled the ardu ous situation which he now occupies, we do not recollect that his conduct ever became a subject of unpleasant animadversion before. Mr. Const is not a lawyer of technical and pe dantic mind ; he unites to a sound knowledge of his profession, and great natural acuteness, that knowledge of the world which is peculiarly useful in directing the exercise of those dis cretionary powers which belong to his judicial situation. His kindness of heart is also well known ; and that made any act of his, which was like a harsh or arbitrary experiment of power, the more worthy of observation. Sorry, indeed, should we be, if in the evening of life he did ally thing to impair that good and virtu ous reputation which long years of public service have earned for him. The adminsstration of jus tice is in any hands a difficult and delicate task ; he has so discharged the d2ties it impose s on him as to deserve hitherto, we hope he always will, the praise of impartial men, and the ho nourable estimation of his country.—Morning Herald. We have repeatedly called the attention of our readers to the ambitious policy pursued by Russia—leer determination to keep possession of the Ottoman empire, and her anxiety, when that grand object was accomplished, to wrest from us our Indian empire ; but the most im portant and attractive subject will wear out in linterest, and we accordingly dropped it, lest we At the Middlesex Sessions, yesterday, the should become as monotonous to our readers as Chairman, Mr. Const, took occasion to refer to our representations have been ineffective in pro the observations which we thought it our duty ducing a change of policy.

This is the country inhabited by the King, his Kaissacks, and other Nomad tribes, who have been induced by skilful negotia tions to submit to Russia. Part of these Kirghis were formerly subject to China, which was probably glad to get rid of such turbulent subjects, and is not sorry to see them under Russia, which will be able to keep them in order. When aline of fortifications shall have been erected in this ccuntry, which is not every where a barren steppe, mili tary colonies will be established in it, iron works erected, and the cavalry that may be necessary furnished with ex cellent horses from Central Asia, to purchase which the English East India Company sent the late Mr. Moorcroft to Bokhara. It is likely that convenient roads will soon be made, and Kokand, Samarand, Bokhara, and several smaller Khantes, may perhaps soon be conquered. "The new Russian frontier is distant about twenty-eight French leagues from the English possessions in India." The first part of this article shows the mode in which Russia has been endeavouring to warp round our Indian possessions, and the last two lines the success which has attended her efforts. Her frontier, in one point, is now distant only twenty-eight leagues from our Indian empire; and by and by, we presume, we shall have her for a neighbour on every side ! That Mr. Pitt and Mr. Canning were fully alive to the designs of Russia, is amply proved by the whole of their policy—and had that policy been faithfully ad hered to, particularly that of Mr. Canning, the fleets of the Emperor of Russia had now been riding quietly in the harbour of Cronstadt, in stead of braving that of England in the Archi pelago, and demanding reasons from its Admiral for its increase. That policy, however, has of late been sadly changed, and fruitless negociatiota resorted to, where threats and recourse to arms would have better suited the circumstances of the times ; and what is the result ? That Russia not only holds in her grasp the whole of the Ottoman dominions, and affects to lord it with the mightiest power in Europe in the Mediter ranean ; but that she has actually possessed her self of territory within twenty-eight leagues of our Indian dominions ! Is the Company aware of this ? Has it not remonstrated with the pre sent Government on the danger of its policy ? Morning Advertiser. It would appear from the Stamford News of yesterday, that the High Sheriff of Lincolnshire has refused, after an application had been made to him by a respectable number of landowners, to call a county meeting, to take into considera tion the Malt and Beer Taxes, on the most un satisfactory grounds which we have ever known to be alleged in defence of such conduct— namely, the severe pressure under which all classes are now labouring—the whole state of the country being before his Majesty's Ministers, and better known to them than to individuals— and, finally, the propriety under these circum stances, of not ad ding to their embarrassment. All this is very disinterested, and very amiable, no doubt, on the part of the Sheriff of the county of Lincoln, Richard Thorold, Esquire— a hard sounding name, by the bye—but is it wise ? Is he consulting the interest of his bro ther landowners, or aiding the relief of the country from its present distress, by pursuing such a course ? We think not ; for were we to run over the " Statutes at Large" with him, we think he might fairly be defied to point out any taxes which have ever been imposed more truly injurious to the landed interest, or more inimical to the comfort of the community, than the malt and beer duties. They keep down, in the first instance, the consumption of malt liquors—the healthiest and best of all—by the community below its proper quantity ; in the second, the consumption of barley is lessened in consequence, and the land which is adapted for such tillage rendered thereby less valuable ; in the third, thousands are destitute of employment in the healthiest of all occupations—that of agriculture—and thrown upon the parish for subsistence, who would otherwise find abun dance of work ; and lastly, the revenue arising from the taxes is among the least valuable to, as it is also among the most expensive collected by, the Government. We state these facts briefly, in order that they may meet with due considera tion. The community is interested in the deci sion of the question, and we should be glad to see it bestir in it—but the landowners, assuredly, more than any other class; and notwithstanding the decision of the High Sheriff of Lincoln, we do not despair to see them making a question of it ill the ensuing Session.—lbid. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. In the report of the Westminster Sessions last week, a case was given in which the Chairman, F. CoNsT, Esq., was stated, after having sentenced a young pickpocket, named Harris, to seven years' transportation, to have called him back, in conse quence of some insulting expressions which he had addressed to him, and altered the sentence of trans. portation for life. The affair having been made the subject of remark in various newspapers, and the legality of the course alleged to have been pursued questioned, the CHAIRMAN saw fit yesterday, iu the course of the proceedings at the Middlesex Sessions, to give the following contradiction, or rather expla nation, of the affair. . . The CHAIRMAN found, from looking over the different newspapers, that he had been undergoing correction therein for an act which he never did. It was said there that he. had changed a prisoner's sentence from transportation for seven years to trans portation for life, merely because the prisoner ad dressed some offensive expressions to him. That he never did do. They were well written articles which he had seen, but then they were founded on what WAS not the'fact. The circumstances of the case were these :—A boy of the name of Harris, a most incorrigible thief, just liberated from six months' confinement for a similar offence, was brought to the Westminster Sessions, with some other boys, to be tried for picking pockets. Thinking him a pro per character to be made an example of, he deter mined on trying him first, hoping that the sentence the other boys heard pronounced on him would make a beneficial impression on their minds. He was convicted of stealing four handkerchiefs, and he (the Chairman) then addressed him, and asked him why he changed his name so often, and other ques tions, to which he gave shrewd answers. After ad dressing some observations to him, he sentenced the boy to seven years' transportation. As he was being removed from the dock, he said something, but what it was he (the Chairman) did not know. In consequence, however, of something said to him by some gentlemen who were sitting with him on the Bench, lie ordered the boy to be brought back, and told him that the Court, on reconsideration, thought his a case which ought to be punished by transportation for life. But when he said this, he never meant to so sentence him. Every gentleman in Court knew what he meant, and that his object was to impress on the other boys the danger of the course t P h u ad ben done in that way. rstiirlg e and he had reason to lo o theym e were good Im mediately after p r onouncing the second sentence, lie s leaned over to Mr . Gyiby, the cleat of the peace, and told him to tak e no notice of it. This was all that occurred, and he must say he did regret having been run at in the manner he had been. Mr, BRODMCK saw the report in the newspapers, and he was astonished on reading it. He had known the Chairman often lessen the sentence, but never add to it. He considered immediately that there was some mistake. Mr. ALLEY said that any gentleman who knew the Chairman must have instantly been convinced that the report was not true. At the same time it was justice to the reporter to say he was not to blame,for the Chairman certainly did use the words, though not in the sense supposed by the reporter. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Disc. 4. SWEET AND OTHERS V. ♦RCHBOLD. Mr. PEPYS moved to dissolve the injunction which had been granted against the defendant, re straining him from publishing his Common Pleas Practice. In 1822, the defendant, whose King's Bench Practice had sold very successfully, entered into an agreement with the plaintiffs to prepare a se cond edition of that work, and one relating to the practice of the Court of Common Pleas, for 6501. Mr. Archbold did not complete his contract, and in 1827 an action was brought against him for the breach. That action was compromised by the de fendant giving a cognovit for securing the money, and which also contained a proviso that nothing therein should extend to permit the defendant to sell any copies of the proposed work on the Common Pleas until the money should be paid; but that upon such payment, all the parts of the work already.pre pared, and which were then in the plaintiff's pos session, should be delivered up to the defendant. The money was paid, the printed sheets delivered up, and the defendant had since completed the work. The plaintiffs, alleging that the work when so com pleted contained parts of the former work on the King's Bench, the copyright of which was theirs, filed a bill, on :which the injunction now appealed against was granted. Counsel contended that it ought to be dissolved, because there wait no piracy ; because, by the terms of the cognovit, the defend ant was at liberty to publish his new work as soon as he should have paid the money, which he had done; and because the application to the Court was made too late. The work which they now charged to be a piracy had been published is November, and the plaintiffs did not come to the Court to complain until March last. The Counsel, therefore, contended that there was no ground for the interference of a Court of Equity, but that the parties should be left to such remedy as they might have at law. A proposition was made for trying the question upon terms, in consequence of which Mr. Arch bold's solicitor was directed to go to Guildhall to nsult his client. Mr. Koa, in the mean time, proceeded on the same side with Mr. Pepys. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL supported the injunc tion, and insisted that the later work was in many respects a piracy of the former. _ The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed an opinion, that if the case were to be decided at law, the parties should agree upon the same terms on which it should be sent for trial. Some discussion ensued between the Counsel as to these terms, Mr. PEPYS offering to go to trial if the plaintiffs would admit their signature to the cognovit. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL agreed to this, but insisted that the injunction should continue in the mean time, to prevent the sale of die work by the defendant ; and the Counsel differing as to this, the case proceeded. Mr. WRIGHT and Mr. ATKINSON were heard on the same side ; and Mr. PEPYS replied. The LORD CHANCELLOR seemed to be of opinion that the case must be tried at law, but a difficulty arising as to the costs, and security to be given by the defendant if the result should be against him, his Lordship said, he would say what he thought about both points in the morning. FELLOWES V. LORD GWYDYR. Mr. BLIGn applied for his Lordship's directions as to Lord Gwydyr's costs. The decree had given neither parties costs, but as Lord Gwydyr had been brought into Court by Mr. Page, he submitted that he ought ty h a v e hi s costs from hat gentleman. His LORDSHIP thought Lord Gwydyr was en titled to them. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dn. 4. WANLESS V. CAWTHORNE. This was an action by the assignee of Thomas George Martin, a bankrupt, on a bill of exchange for 1401., drawn by the bankrupt on, and accepted by, the defendant, William Cawthorne, jun. The only witness called to prove the case was the bank rupt, Martin. After evidence had been entered into at some length, the plaintiff's case broke down, and he was consequently nonsuited. LEVY V. HOPE, ESQ. This was an action against the late Sheriff of Surrey, for an alleged false return of nulla bona, to a writ of non omittas fieri facias, issued by the plaintiff, Lawrence Levy, against the effects of one Joel George Young, in November, 1828. The She riff, as defendant, was a mere nominal party, the de fence being made on the part of Benton, the officer, to whom the warrant had been directed, and through whose negligence it was alleged the plaintiff had lost the fruits of his execution. PALACE COURT, DEC. 4. WARD v. PAGE. This was an action brought by Mrs. Ward, a chandler's-shopkeeper, residing in Chesterfield-street, Marylebone, against Mr. Page, a hair-dresser, of Park-street, Grosvenor-square, for the recovery of 241., which delft was contracted by his wife, from whom he was separated. The defendant, as a set-off, pleaded adultery on the part of his wife, whose debts he did not feel himself bound to pay. • It appeared from the evidence, that Mrs. Page, on separating from her husband, took lodgings at the plaintiff's, at the rate of 14s. per week, which amounted, with money lent to her at various times, to 241., the sum claimed. Several witnesses were called, who fully proved an adulterous intercourse between defendant's wife, and a person named Knapp. The Jury, after the Chairman had summed up, returned a verdict for the defendant. The number of hands through which a com mon table knife passes in its formation is ivortky of being known to all who use them. The bar steel is heated in the forge by the maker, and he and the striker redice it in a few minutes into the shape of a knife. He then heats a bar of iron and welds it to the steel so as to form the tag of the blade which goes into the handle. All this is done with the simplest tools and contrivances. A few strokes of the hammer, in connection with some trifling moulds and measures attached to the anvil, perfect in two or three minutes the blade and its tang or shank. Two men, the maker and striker, produce about nine blades in a hour, or '7.1 dozen per day. The rough blade thus oro duced then passes through the hands of the filer, who files the blade into form by means of a pattern in hard steel. It then goes to the halters to be hafted in ivory, horn, &c. as may be required ; it next proceeds to the finisher, and is then packed for sale or exportation. In this progression every table-knife, pocket-knife, or pen-knife, passes step by step through no less than 16 hands, involving at least 144 separate stages of workmanship in the production of a single pen-knife. The prices vary from 2s. 6d. per dozen knives and forks, to 101. In the manufacture of a razor, it proceeds through a dozen hands; but it is after wards submitted to a process of grinding, by which the concavity is perfected, and the fine edge produced. They are made from Is. per dozen to 20s. per razor, in which last the handle is valued at 16s. 6d. Scissors, in like mnaner, are made by hand, and every pair• passes through sixteen or 17 hands, including 50 or 60 operations, before they are ready for sale. Common scissors are cast, and when rivetted, are sold as low as 4s. 6d. per• gross ! Small pocket knives, too, are cast, both in blades and handles, and sold at 6s. per gross, or a halfpenny each ! These low articles are exported in vast quantities in casks to all parts of the world. Snuffers and trays are also ar ticles of extensive production, and the latter• are orna mented with landscapes, etched by a Sheffield artist, on a resinous varnish, and finished by being dipped in diluted nitric acid for a few seconds or minutes...—Sir X.

He made no inquiry respecting i t ' supposing that it had been irrecoverably lost. - serving, however, a report in a newspaper under the head of " Bow-street, he was induced to belie" that the money th ere d escr ib e d was t h e sa me tha he had lost. H e accor di ng l y went to t h e h o use o f the lodging-house keeper, to whom he gave a c) e t ; scription of the notes, which agreed exactly w' t those which that person had in his hand. Mr. HALLS asked Mr. Spearman the exact amount of the money he had lost. Mr. Spearman replied, that the sum amounted to 3201, On the morning of the day, when be tie / his loss, he dr e w 343/. f rom t h e b an ki ng -h o use f Messrs.

The Magistrate (Mr. WALKER) said that these_ girls were quite a nuisance in the neighbourhood of the Cemmercial-road, their language and behaviou r . being so disgusting, that no respectable person coul d walk there after nightfall; and he expressed his in" tention, if they were ever brought before him sgai_,, ° ' to punish them more severely, as he was determine" to abate the nuisance. hdeawysatctohmtehne :hooustoe: UNION-HALL. Yesterday the Magistrates were engaged fora . considerable portion of the day in hearing e videnc e in support of informations instit u t e d aga i ns t no 1611° than 22 bakers or sellers of bread within the die, trier, for an alleged infraction of the 4th clause or the 3d of George IV. cap. 106, which requires bread to be sold by weight an d i n no ot h er manne r, unde r a penalty not exceeding 40s. In many of the cases the Magistrates impos e low penalty, and in no one did t h e sum exce ed s ' and costs. Mr. Harmer, on behalf of the parties summone d ' contended that the bread in question (which ce i r 4 . sisted of pen n y an d twopenny rolls ) was what i termed " fancy br ea d," an d b e i ng suc h , i t was 9° t, necessary to weigh it. The proviso i n th e c l ause i ns i ste d on i s ; toe!'. words,---" Provided always, that nothing l e ; fl t, act shall extend, or b e construe d to exten d, Pr ey — or hinder any baker or seller of bread, from O , bread usually sold under th e denomination of RO t he or fancy bread, or rolls, w i t h out we i g hing same." It had been proved in evidence that the fan c y bread was made of exactly the same dough as t he bread usually sold in on e p e n n y a nd two penai loaves, the only diffei vice bong that, in the forme r instance, it was what is called in the trade proved , e. left lying for a considerable period after kneaded before formed into the shape required. Mr. HONE delivered an opinion, in conformity with his brother Magistrates, believing that all bread , such as that produced by the informers against thde defendants, was, stri c tly s p ea ki ng , " h ouse h o ld," n. not " fancy" br ea d, an d t h ere f ore, t h e parties "1:: it without first weighing it, were very properlY „1: victed. Two cases were select e d, w i t h a v i ew, if, after mature consideration, that course s h ou ld b e deeme d advisable, to carry them to the Sessions in the shaP B of an appeal from the conviction. Mr. Harmer then advised those clients against whom evidence had been offered under the statute to:pay the penalties instanter. Mr. HONE in the event of an appeal from the eon' viction in the cases selected, knew that his friend , Mr. Allen, one of the county Magistrates, living at Dulwich, would be present, and that his interpre" tration of the Act was exactly the sante as his ow n (Mr. Hone's), and that of his brother Magistrate , Mr. Elyard. Some of the defendants here observed, that it was impossible to make penny and twopenny loaves of the exact weight which it would seem the law required, for either one would be deficient a stride or another more than weight, and how hard woul d it be on the party if they were to be subject t° penalties for that. Mr. Harmer would not urge any thing more afte r the decision of the Bench, because there was an or portunity of appealing to the Sessions; and if, ni l consideration, it was thought proper to pursue that course, due notice would be given. The passage leading to the office was also crowde d with persons int e r es t e d i n t h e quest i on : ne arly al the bakers and sellers of bread in the Borough we re ! present, so strong a f ee li ng h av i ng got Oros' amongst them that it was never contemplated by the Act above recited, that every penny and o w , penny loaf must be wei g h e d, w h et h er t h e se ller 01° for it or not. e in' Some of the " fancy br ea d" p ro d uce d by t -r t ,;„ 1 formers was found to b e d e fi c i ent i n weight, t''crd the quartern loaf as the stand ar d, I ounce , and °- twopenny loaf was nearly deficient five ounces. On the decision of the Bench being made known' many of the leading bakers and sellers of bread , who had heard the opinion of the Magistrates pro' nounced, retired to a tavern with a view, as o' Bs understood, of conning to some resolutions on th e subject.

Some months back Lord Stuart de Rothesay gave orders to his London coach-maker to for ward to Paris a carriage, in contemplation of the intended departure of Lady Stuart from that capital—the imperial of the carriage, and the other appendages for the conveyance of luggage, were, without the authority, or even the know ledge of Lord Stuart, used to convey ten par cels ; of these, three were to the address of the Portuguese Ambassador, and the remaining seven to different individuals, but not one to Lord Stuart himself. NVlien the weight and numbcr of the packages excited the attention of the French Custom-house officers, the Portuguese Ambas sador immediately made application to hare his consignment handed over to him, and, by some means or other, he had sufficient interest to suc ceed in his application ; he received his three parcels unopened ; of course the nature of their contents has not transpired. We have dwelt upon this fact, because it is probable that this first con cession to the privilege of the Ambassador of a friendly Power led to the subsequent indulgence extended to the remaining seven packages, which have been the subject of so much angry ani madversion. In a few days will be published, in 2 vols. Bvo. with i, :ity of flax with a lighted candle by his side. If 'hat is the case, the poor fellow has most likely perished ; though as there is no confirmation of the fact, it is merely given as rumour. The extent of damage susta►ned cannot as yet be estimated; 700 ►ales of cotton in the Company's warehouses, be longing to various persons in Manches•cr and in the ►owns in the neighbourhood, together with 800 loads if malt, the property of Mr. Taylor, maltster, of Carlton-upon-Trent, near Newark, in Nottingham shire, were amongst the property destroyed. The warehouses, we understand, though not the goods, were insured in the Norwich and Royal Exchange Assurance-offices. The warehouse of Messrs. Bar naby and Faulkner, as well as those of the Liverpool and Wakefield Company, were reduced, by ten o'clock in the forenoon, to a heap of rubbish. The canal, which runs alongside the warehouses, appeared like a lake of liquid fire, the surface for a consider able distance being covered with burning cotton ; the branches of the canal, which lead to the interior of the destroyed warehouses, are wholly ,blocked up with - burning rubbish, and the canal itself has the appearance, from the smoke, of boiling water. The brick-work of this immense pile of building now stands in a very insecure state, and is expected to fall every hour. There is an immense range of building immediately opposite to the destroyed warehouses belonging to the Rochdale Canal Com pany : but happily the canal divides them, other wise they, in common with Messrs. Barnaby and Faulkner's, might have shared the same fate. 200 bags Ginger, good sound Malabar 14s. ; 43 casks Nutmegs, good unsorted 3s.

JASSY, SEPT. 20.—Among the reports in circula tion respecting the conditions of peace proposed to the Sultan, it is said that Russia reserves the right to occupy the Principalities and Bulgaria for four years, by which time the pecuniary indemnity is to be paid which the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh de mands of the Porte. Should the sum required ex ceed the ability of the Turkish empire to pay, it is not impossible, even if the Porte should be obliged to consent to the termi prescribed, there may arise in the execution matter for fresh differences between the two Powers. It is believed, therefore, that Russia, foreseeing this, will not easily lay aside its commanding military attitude.

Country Purchasers and the Trade will find this Stock of Carpets the most extensive and the cheapest in the Metropolis. SUGAR --The alarm respecting the failures continued during the last week, but apparently without any foun dation; the panic, however, prevented business to any extent. The purchases of Sugar were on the most con fined scale, only about 1,500 hhds. being reported sold, but we believe the purchases were more extensive, con siderable parcels being taken off privately at a small re duction, to induce the buyers to come forward. The stock of Sugar is now about 6,000 hhds. and trs. more than last year, but it will be nearly equal next week as there is nosy little to land, and last year the landings for .the two next corresponding weeks were 11,000 hhds. and trs. The Market is not yet quite recovered from the alarm of last week ; the purchases to-day, including the public sale of Barbadoes, are estimatated at 1,100 hhds. ; the Market has a more firm appearance, and the Barba does sold at full prices. Stocks in London and St. Ka therine's Docks—Sugar 6,745 hhds., 341 trs., 8,669 bags, 3,797 chests Havannali, 1,570 Brazil. Total de liveries from the three warehouses 3,130 hhds. and trs., 2,819 bags. The Refined Market also appeared very heavy, but there were considerable parcels taken for ship ment, particularly for the Mediterranean trade, the state of the Market facilitating sales, as, notwithstanding the scarcity of goods, the buyers purchased on rather lower terms. Molasses were without alteration. EAST INDIA SUGAR.—In East India Sugars no sales were reported last week. FOREIGN SUGARS.—The purchases last week were confined to 100 hhds. Porto Rico brown at 21s. ; 40 chests Paraiba, low to middling yellow 17s. a 21s. CO 1' PE E. —The public sales last week consisted chiefly of Jamaica descriptions, which went off heavily at a re duction of 2s. per cwt. ; the finer descriptions sold on better terms than the ordinary descriptions, but still the reduction in the prices was general, and a considerable prOportion was taken in. The Demerara and Berbice went also off heavily, and at prices a shade lower ; Do minica at former rates. In Foreign Coffee no sales were reported. The public sales of Coffee this forenoon con sisted of 124 casks and bags British Plantation, chiefly ordinary Dutch and Jamaica descriptions ; 857 hags Ma lablr, 55 bags Ceylon, the latter good ordinary at 325., brown Malabar sold for the home trade, we believe, at 575. 6d. and 58s. yellow 525., these were at full prices, Jamaica also at former rates ; Dutch dull, and 25. lower, except the fine middling 83s. a 84s. RUM, BRANDY, AND HoLLAiens.—The transactions in Rum last week were on the most limited scale; a few proof Leewards were reported at Is. 9d., but the holders did not press sales, and a general determination appeared to await the event of the Government contract this day, which it is likely will give a tone to the Market. Brandy was held with firmness, but few sales were reported. Ge neva, still neglected. The Government contract for 100,000 gallons Rum was taken at or under Is. 91d. per gallon by one house; all the tenders at Is. 91-d. were refused.

The large sale of Friday, New South Wales Wool, &c. went off with spirit for the lower qualities, which sold Id. to 2d. per lb. higher than estimated ; the finer descriptions were unsaleable. This day's sale closed at too late an hour to report. ASHES.-The purchases of about 1,200 brls. Ashes ad vanced the prices here 2s. a 3s. last week, and has occa sioned an extensive demand for Ashes at Liverpool. SALTPETRE.-Saltpetre is a shade lower • RICE.-This day 500 casks Bengal Rice, fine 165., good 12s. a small part sold. INDIGO.-There is nothing new in Indigo; there are no purchases. The trade wait with some anxiety the event of the East India sale to-morrow. There appears to be fewer buyers than usual ; the attendance of country buyers in particular is unusually limited. Ous.-Last week, by publie sale, 39 tuns Sperm sold at 711. The season is now far advanced, and there are no authentic accounts respecting the fisheries ; the fears of bad success are general, yet there is not the slightest im provement in the prices.

(FROJI A CORRESTONDENT.) MANCHESTER, OCT. 12.—This morning, between the hours of five and six o'clock, this town, and more particularly the neighbourhood of Piccadilly and Dale-street, was thrown into the utmost state of consternation, in consequence of a report having been spread that the extensive warehouses belong ing to the Company of Merchants trading to and from Liverpool, Leeds, York, and Halifax, had taken fire. The fire-engines of the Royal Exchange As surance-office, the Norwich, the Manchester, and the various other offices who have stations in the town, were immediately upon the spot, and com menced playing upon the building; but notwith standing the plentiful supply of water (the Roch dale Canal adjoining the premises), the destructive element had proceeded too far to entertain any hopes of checking its progress until the demolition of the premises had been the consequence. The firemen therefore directed their labours to those warehouses adjoining, belonging to private indivi duals, which appeared every moment to be in dan ger of taking fire, from their having a communica tion with the Company's warehouses. The engines played incessantly upon the buildings in the neigh bourhood, but unfortunately the warehouses of Messrs. 13arnaby and Faulkner, carriers to and from Manchester and Hull, being in the immediate vici nity of the Company's warehouses, fell a victim to the devouring fury of the dames. About half-past five the fire appeared to assume a most formidable and terrific aspect ; four barrels of gunpowder, which were on the premises, belonging to Messrs. Holland and Curtis, druggists, exploded, and shook the tot tering timbers like an earthquake, and caused them to fall instantaneously down, and with them a part of the brick-►work. The warehouses being full of bales of cotton, burnt with a rapidity that may easily be imagined; the firemen endeavoured, amongst the burning ruins, to rescue some property which was in the further end of the premises, arid being of very great value, they had played upon it with the engine for a length of time; 16 or 17 of them, however, pro ceeded to venture their lives in endeavouring to pro cure it from the flames, but just as they had reached the spot a part of the wall gave way upon theta, and buried several beneath the ruins ; fortunately, how ever, they were all most miraculously preserved, with the exception of one poor fellow, named Thomas Taylor, a fireman of the Royal Exchange Assur ance-office, who was picked up in a dreadfully muti lated state, and carried to the Manchester Infirmary, where he expired a few minutes after his arrival.— Several others are materially injured, though not as affects their life. The unfortunate man who has lost his life was about thirty years of age ; he has been some time in the employment of the Royal Exchange Assurance Company, and was much re spected. He has left a wife and three children to deplore their loss. How the fire originated it is impossible at present to divine. It appears that the persons employed by the Company, during the whole of Saturday and Sunday had been engaged in ship ping goods, and recommenced their labours at half past twelve on Monday morning. A blacksmith, named Eaton, was the first to discover the fire; arid it is reported that the origin of it was, that one of the workmen of the Company fell asleep upon a quan- BRITISH EXPORTS.

ROCHDALE, LANCASHIRE, OCT. 11.— Our readers may perhaps recollect the circumstances of the dreadful riots at Rochdale, in the month of April last, when several individuals unfortunately lost their lives.— Several of the Club called the Weavers' Union were appre hended, and tried as participators in the riot, amongst whom was a man named KERSHAW, who was tried at the last Lancashire Assizes. At the time KERSHAW was taken into custody, the constables of Rochdale took away with them the treasurer's box, belonging to the Weavers' Society, containing the sum of 1851. in gold, silver, and copper. On Friday last, Mr. FOULKES, attorney, of Manchester, on account of the Weavers' Union Society, applied to the authorities of Rochdale for the box, when it was discovered that the three constable, into whose custody the box had been entrusted, had taken the liberty of breaking open the box, and making free with the 1851. The Magistrates immediately issued warrants for the ap prehension of the constables for the felony, and on Satur day last they were taken before the Alagistrato, but no evidence w as gone i nto, i n consequence o f th e a b sence o f witnesses ; and a third culprit named STOCK, who had gone out of the way, was pot yet apprehended.

Alick Pacha, who had al ready had an engagement with this column, col lected at Adrianopl all men able to bear arms in the city and neighbourhood; and after an impres sive speech to them, in which he painted the dan gers which threatened the empire, he made a furi ous attack on the enemy, having arranged his forces in such a manner that they several times received considerable reinforcements during the action. After a sanguinary combat of several hours' duration, the Russian column, broken by the Turkish cavalry, abandoned its position, and endeavoured in all haste to regain the Balkan. But the Grand Vizier, who was able to send troops from Shumla without ob stacle, had had the summit of the defiles occupied; and when the Russians arrived with their artillery and baggage, they had to begin a new battle, which lasted 12 hours, and in which they suffered very severe losses. A great quantity of- baggage and arms fell into the :bands of the Turks. The number of dead is considerable—that of prisoners trilling; but among them are seven Generals, and many subaltern officers. On the other hand, Mus tapha Pacha, who has assembled 40,000 men under his command, having obtained a promise of support from Prince Milosch, had advanced to Rehme,where he fell in with a Russian column and broke it; he is proceeding in his march to cut off the communi cations of the Russian army. This movement is supported by the garrisons of the fortresses on the Danube. Prince Milosch has engaged to supply the Pacha's army with provisions for six months.— These accounts were brought by Tartars dispatched to Constantinople from various parts of the theatre of war."—Prussian Slate Gazette, Oct. 7.

We give this as a specimen of the fabulous accounts with which the Turkish public has been regaled.—Note of P. 8. G. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. STIRLING, Coroner, in the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, on the body of Close Stein, a Ger man, whose death was reported to have been caused by poison. The Governor of the prison produced the com mitment of the deceased, from which it appeared that he was committed by Mr. Twyford, a Magis trate of Worship-street, on the 21st of August, to three months' hard labour, in default of paying a tine of 301., which had been imposed on him for having a private still in his possession. Mr. Henry Wakefield, of Hatton-gardon, surgeon to the House of Correction, stated that on Saturday morning, on visiting the prisoners, the deceased com plained to him of a pain in his stomach and bowels, for which witness prescribed. On Sunday morning witness saw him again, when he said he felt con siderably relieved, and thanked witness for what he had given him. In the afternoon witness was sent for, but not being at home, the messenger procured the attendance of Mr. Dobie, another medical gen tleman, and when witness came home he went to the prison, and found the deceased dead. From a suspicion that the deceased had taken something to produce death, the witness opened the body on Monday morning, in conjunction with other medical men; the result of their examination was, that the deceased had died from a disease of long standing, and on the contents of the stomach being analyzed by Mr. Cooper, a chymist, nothing pernicious could be discovered. Witness had heard that the deceased had taken something given to him by souse of the other prisoners; and his dying suddenly so shortly afterwards had aroused his • suspicions. He was about 45 years of age, and having been engaged in keeping a private still, witness had no doubt that he was much addicted to liquor. Verdict--" Died by the v , ihitution of sod." As soon as this part of the consignment itA.l thus disposed of, the British Ambassador Ntioo applied to as to the manner in which the re maiAder were to be dealt with. His first answer was—" Let them take their fate—l know nothing about them—dispose of them according to your Revenue Regulations." Unluckily, and un guardedly, his Lordship afterwards assented to a proposal to send them Uck to the place from whence they came ; had they been confiscated on the spot, as was the case in a former instance in 1817, when the Duke of Wellington was e fi n nb d . i . a s However,s ado aril l ie affair sie:iiNts,aheioedldf w iNontnibl rine : an d have first rsustsibaijinal intimation iinci been w ael eatEsisoir a au the end.

Wh en t h e consignment was return e d t o L on d on , an inves tigation, rigorous and searching, was made by the Commissioners ; and the affair, thus tho roughly sifted, afforded sufficient proof of the guilty participation of several individuals. We are in possession of all the names, but for the present we suppress them, for a reason we shall presently mention. e est stations n al n l s n i o n t practise sncit y they same aittratdbeastmisanas;cea second a l a Frenchman, a dealer in perfumery, residing in the neighbourhood of Leicester-square ; a third a confidential domestic in the establishment of the British Ambassador ; and a fourth an in dividual whose name is known, and Whose letter, found in one of the opend parcels, was, as already stated, addressed to the above-mentioned do mestic. The exact occupation of this fourth person cannot be distinctly ascertained. The Commissioners who conducted the in vestigation have made their Report to the Lords of the Treasury, and a case has been laid before the proper Law Officers, to enable them to se lect the persons against whom prosecutions may be commenced, with a probability of their being followed up by convictions. The whole of the packages are under orders to be forwarded to Calais, with peremptory instructions to the Eng lish Consul to consign them to the French au thorities, to be dealt with according to law. It may be advisable to inform our readers, who will feel considerable surprise at the infor mation, that the amount of legal duty upon the articles attempted to be smuggled would not have exceeded ninety pounds. This is not to be supposed to extend to the three unopened consignments handed over to the Portuguese Ambassador, as their contents are not known and, consequently, the amount of injury to the French Revenue cannot in that instance be as certained. We are sorry to learn that, from some cause or other, the person mho to us appears the first and great delinquent is not supposed to be ame nable to the existing laws. Our reason for sup pressing, for the moment, the names of the par ties implicated, will be readily found in the fact we have stated, that the case is as yet before the Law Officers. The buildings on the northern side of St. Martin's Church, in St. Martin's-lane, are now roofed, and arc in active progress of completion. Directly facing the side, or vestry-room doors of the Church, there is an amazingly large building, nearly on the site of the former parsonage house.

EXECUTION OF PHILIP JOLIN FOR THE MURDER OF HIS FATHER. JERSEY, OCT. 6.—The awful sentence of the law, in this case, was carried into effect on Saturday, about two o'clock, and Philip Jolin expiated, as far as society was concerned, the crime of parricide, of which two Juries, in number together 37, had unani mously found him guilty. On Friday morning he received the sacrament twin the Very Rev, the Dean. In the evening seve ral Clergymen went to him ; he appeared calm and resigned, said the grace of God had worked miracles in him, and was even impatient for the time when the awful sentence of the law should be put into execution, and be should exchange time for eternity. In speaking of the crime for which he was doomed to suffer, he said, " I had no intention of killing my poor father; in - going home I found no victuals ready, I went into the garden and took a pear; my father came out and abased me for it, and took me by the throat ; my blood recoiled at this, and, over heated by the effect of several glasses of liquor I had drunk during the day, I lost all command of myself, and in a- moment of exasperation I seized the fatal brick, broke it in two, and thus wzintentionally be came a parricide." The Rev. Mr. Gallichan and, it is said, some other gentlemen, passed the night with him. Ile joined them in prayer with much fervour. At an early hour the next morning a great con course of people went to the place of execution, and a party of the 27th regiment were stationed round the. gallows. Shortly after one o'clock the melan- CliOly cirocession left the gaol. A large body of ;.•• tierditrs, amounting to 200, were in attendance. The sponer leaned on the arms of two clergymen. Ile ‘:-eas calm and collected, walked with steadiness, and evinced throughout the most decorous firmness. We could not perceive that he trembled in the least. His mind seemed quite abSorbed in religious exercises. As the procession advanced to Gallows-hill, tire crowd became very great, multitudes moving up the eseent by .different paths among the bushes towards the newly-efetited scaffirld. The day was remark ly brilliant-, and, had it not been for the spectacle of den . th about to be present, d, the appearance of itlie hilt, usually so deserted, but then covered with 'iiiiet%erless groups in eager motion, would have been Vxceedingly pleasing. Little delay took place after the arrival at the place of execution. John acknow ledged the justice of his sentence. He then as cended the ladder with a firm step, and addressed the assembled crowd; in a clear and impressive tone of voice : " You see in me the effect of bad education and example; from early youth I have been unfortu nately addicted to intemperance; my duty towards God was never pointed out to me—therefore I be seech all of you who are assembled here to witmess my fate, to avoid bad company, drinking spirits, and vicious habits. I exhort young people not to vio late the Sabbath, but to frequent church and attend to their religious duties —and I fervently pray God to have mercy on my soul." The rope was then placed round his neck, the white cap was then drawn over the face, and on the signal being given, the drop fell, and the unfortunate culprit was launched into eternity. His sufferings appeared not to be great, and were of brief duration. An cvent of the kind has Lot before taken place in Jersey for la years.—Jersey British Press, Oct. 6. PATAL EFFECTS OF THE INCAUTIOUS USE OF ARSENIC. One of the most afflicting instances of poisoning by wl!ite arsenic that we ever remember to have had titedtOn to notice, took place on Saturday last, at V 44 ., house of Mr. Mannering, linen-draper and hosier, 291, High-street, Borough, which has deprived a poor widow of her only son, who was her chief sup port. The following arc the particulars of the me lancholy event The unfortunate youth in question was William nob. rt Squires, who was in his 17th year. He lived in the service of Mr. Mannering, as an errand-boy, and resided with his widowed mother, at 3, Wilson's court, New Park-street, Bankside, near the brewery of Mcs,os. Barclay. On Saturday forenoon, about twelve o'clock, the youth observed, upon a shelf at the back of the chop, amongst some broken victuals, which was usu illy given to a poor man called " Dick," a piece of cheese, lying upon a piece of clean paper, whit!► appeared to be covered with flour ; he blew it off and then ate the cheese ; which he had no sooner done than he ex- pectorated very violently, and became very ill ; and, at about six o'clock, the master, perceiving the suite he was in, paid him his wages, and desired him to go home and go to bed. The lad went home, and his !bother made him some gruel, and he went to bed, and all night he continued to vomit most Tmlettiy. In the morning he became quite stupi fted, and then, for the first time, he told his mother that he had .found a piece of cheese, which he had tten, and that he had not been well since. The poor woman, in a state of mind bordering on in sanity, ran to Mr. Mantiering's house, and mentioned to him the circumstance of the cheese, and eagerly asked him if any thing poisonous , had been intro duced into it ? Mr. Mannering lost no time in mak ing the inquiry, tt hen the melancholy fact was soon iscerta'nerl. One of the female members of the family had first toastei the cheese, and whilst in a soft state, she bad infused into it a quantity of wane arsenic, for the purpose of destroying rats. with which the lower part of the house is over run, and had placed it (as she says) in the cellar, where the vermin roost abound. This discovery took place at about 10 o'clock ca Sunday morning, and no time was lost in carrying the poor lad to Guy's Hospital, where he was placed in bed, and every attention was paid him by Mr. Hardy, the surgeon, and Mr. Hills ; but he was in such a state of eolapse, and was so fast approaching dissolution, that very little could be done for him, and at 12 o'clock, two hours after be was brought in, he expired. The un fortunate youth had been in Mr. Matmering's employ about six months, and nothing can exceed the distress the family have been thrown into at the deplorable event. About 10 months since the father of the deceased wds drowned in the basin at the (outward-bound) West India Dock; he had only entered upon his situation two hours before the accident. The poor woman is now left in the greateA distress, and is in the most pitiable situation. A Coroner's Inquest was held on the body this morning; verdict —" Accidental death." EAST INDIA COMPANY'S INDIGO SALE (Ti DA Y. )- ' This morning the perhalical sale of Indigo commenct dat the East India flouse. The total quantity declared for sale was 7,5t9 chests, of which I 15 chests were withdrawn. The sale commenced rather languidly this morning, and was thinly attended. There were-very few country buyers present. The continental orders for purchases at the present sale are understood to be very li mited. The averages delivered this morning are, for mid dling, from 4s. 4d. to ss. 211., and for finer qualities 6s. to 6s. 7tl. per lb. There is very little competition, and, from the pcseent state of the sale, the withdrawals may be ex pected to be to some extent. The mercantile advices from St. Peters burgh, received to-day, are dated the 27th ult. They state that the Russian holders of produce were ex tremely anxious to sell, and prices in consequence had fallen. Tallow was not quoted higher than from 98i to 99 rubles per pood. The Exchange on London was at 10 11 -16 21-32. About 1,800 casks of Tallow had been purchased since the last post. Money at St. Petersburgh was rather scarce. The information relative to the con clusion of peace bad not occasioned much satisfaction in St. Petersburgh. Orders have been given from the Excise, per mitting maltsters to dry any kind of grain upon their kilns, on giving previous notice to the officers of their intention.

THE TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY. In the name of God Almighty !—His Imperial Majesty, the Most High and Most Mighty Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, and his Highness the Most High and Most Mighty Emperor of the Ottomans, animated with an equal desire to put an end to the calamities of war, and to establish, on solid and immutablebases, peace, friend s!lip, and good harmony • between their empires, have re solved, with a common accord, to intrust this salutary work to, &c. [Here follow the names and titles of the diffe rent Plenipotentiaries on both aides.] ARTICLE I. All enmity and all differences which have subsisted hitherto between the two empires shall cease from this day, as well on.land as on sea, and there shall be in perpetuity peace, friendship, and good intelligence, between his Ma jesty the Emperor and Padishah of all the Russias, and his Highness the Padishah of the Ottomans, their heirs and successors to the Throne, as well as between their respec tive empires. The two high contracting parties will de vote their particular attention to prevent all that might cause misunderstandings to revive between their respective subjects. They will scrupulously fulfil all the condifons of the presmit treaty of peace, and will watch, at the satne time, lest it shoal be infringed in any manner, , Erectly or indirectly. ARTICLE H. His INTait.sty the Emperor and Padishah of all the Rus sias, wi , hing to give to his Highness the Emperor and Padishah of the Ottomans a pledge of the sincerity of his friend!} disposition, restores to the Sublime Porte the Principality of Moldavia, with all the boundaries which it had before the commencement of the war to which this present treaty has put an end. His Inipetial 111,jestv also restores the Principality of Wallachia, tie Banat of Crayova, Bulgi,ria, and the coun try- of Dosridge, from the Danube as fu• as the sea, toge ther with Silistria, Hirsova, Matzia, I•aklya, Tonlza, hadag. Bnardjik, Varni, Pravody, and other towns, burghs, and villages, which it contains, the whole extent of the Balkan from Emine, Bournon a• far as Kazan, and all the country from the Balkans as far as the sea, with Silitninca, Jomboli, AiJos, Karnahat, Missenovica, A khioly, Bourgas, Sizopolis, Kirk-kilissi, the city of Adrianople, Lele Bourgas, and all the towns, burghs, and villages, and in general all places which the Russian troops have occu pied in Roumelia. ARTICLE 111. The Pruth shall continue to form the limit of the two empurs, from the point where the river tenches the to ritory of Moldavia to its junction with the Danube; fro; that spot the frontier line will follow the course of the Danube as far as the mouth of St. George's, so, that, leaving all the islands formed by the different arms of that river in possession of Russia, the right bank shall remain, as formerl y ', in the possession of the Ottoman Porte. Nevetthrless, it is ' , greed that this right bank shall remain uninhabited from the point where the arm of the St. Gearge separates itself from that of Souline, to a distance of two hours from the river, and that no esta blishment of any kind shall be formed there, any more than on the islands which shalLremain in possession o f . . the G►urt of Russia, where, with the exception of the quarantines which may be established there, it shall nut he allowed to make any other establish ment or fortifications. The merchant-wssels of the Powers shall have the liberty of navigating the Danube in all its course; and those.which hear the Ottoman flag shall have free entrance i►:to the mouths of Keli and Souline, that of St. George remaining common to the ships of war and merchant vessels of the two contracting powers. But the Russian ships of war, when ascending the Danube, shall not go beyond the point el its junction with the Pruth. ARTICLE IV. Georgia,lmeritia, Mingrelia, Gouriel, and several otter provinces of the Caucasus, having been for many years and in perpetuity united to the empire of Russia, and that em pire having besides,- by the treaty concluded with Persia at Tourkmantchai on the 10th of February, 1828, ac quired the Khanats of Erivan and of Nalachivan, the two high contracting Powers have recognised the necessity of establishing between their respective States, on the whole of that line, a well determined frontier, capable of pre venting all future discusSion. They have equally tak'n into consideration the proper means to oppose insurmount able obstacles to the incursions and depredations which the neighbouring tribes hitherto committed, and which have so often compromised the relations of friendship and good feeling between the two empires ; consequently it has been agreed upon to consider henceforward as the frontiers be tween the territories of the Imperial Court of Russia, and those of the :i 7 ublitne Ottoman Porte in Asia, the lime which, following the present limit - of the Gouriel from the Black Sea, ascends as far as the border of Imeritia, and from thence is the straightest direction as fir as the point where the frontiers of the Pachaliks of Akhaltzik and of Ka IN meet those of Georgia, leaving in this man ner to the north of and within that line, the town of Ak haltzik and the fort of Khallnalick, at a distance of not less than two hours. All the countries situate to the south and west of this line of demarcation towards the Paellaliks of Kars and Trebisond, together with the major pia of the Pachalik of Akhalizik, shall remain in perpetuity under the domina tion of the Sublime Porte, whilst those which are situated to the north and east of the said line, towards Georgia, Imeritia, and the Giuriel, as well as all the littoral of the Black Sea, from the mouth of the Knuhen as far as the port of St. Nicholas inclusively, under the domination of the Emperor of Russia. In consequence the Imperial Court of Russia gives up and restores to the Sublime Porte the remainder of the Pachalik of Akhaltzik, the town and the Pachalik of Kars, the town and the Paella lik of Bayazid, the town and Pachalik of Etzeroum, as well as all the places occupied by the Russian troops, and which may be out of the abave-teentioned line. ARTICLE V. The principalities of Alaldavia and Wallachia having, by a capitulation, placed themselves under the snzerainete of the Sublime Porte, and Russia having guaranteed their prosperity, it is understood that they shall preserve all the privileges and communities wanted to them in virtue of their capitulation, whether by the treaties concluded be tween the two Imperial Courts, or by the Ilatti-Sheriffs issued at different times. In consequence, they shall enjoy the free exercise of their religion, perfect security, a na tional and independent administration, and the full liberty of trade. The additional clauses to antecedent stipulations, considered necessary . to secure to these two provinces the enjoyment of their tights, shall be inscribed in the next separate act, which is and shall be considered as forming an integral part of the present treaty. ARTICLE VI. The circumstances which have occurred since the con clusion of the convention of Akermann not having per mitted the Sublime Porte to undertake initnediately the execution of the clauses of the separate act relative to, Servia, and annexed to the fifth article of the said con vention, the Sublime Porte engages in the most solemn manner to fulfil them without the least delay, and with the most scrupulous 4tAactuess.-; and to proceed, in par ticular, to the inunediate restitution of the six districts detached from Scrvia, so as- to ensure for ever the tranquil lity and the welfare of that faithful and obedient nation. The finnan, confirmed by the Ilatti-Sl:criff, which shall order the execution of the aforesaid clauses, shall be de iivered and communicated to the Imperial Court of Russia within the period of a month within the date of the sig nature of the treaty of peace. ARTICLE VII. Russian subjects shall enjoy, throughout the whole ex tent of the Ottoman empire, as well by land as by sea, the full and entire liberty of commerce secured to them by the former treaties concluded between the two high con tracting Powers. No infringement of that liberty of com merce shall be committed, neither shall it be permitted to be checked, in any case nor under any pretence, by a pro hibition or any restriction whatever, nor in consequence of any regulation or measure, whether it be one of inter nal administration or one of internal legislation. Russian subjects, vessels, and merchandise, shall he secure against all violence and all chicanery. The former shall live un der the exclusive jurisdiction and police of the Ministeis and Consuls of Russia. The Russian vessels shall not be subjected to any visit on board whatever on . the part of the Ottoman authorities, nether out at' sea nor in any of the ports or roadstead belonging to the dominions of the Su. blime Porte. And all merchandise and commodities be longing to a Russian subject, after having paid the cus tom-house duties required by the tariffs, shall be freely conveyed, deposited on land, in the warehouses of the pro- prietor or of his consignee, or else transferred to the ves sels of any other nation whatever, without the Russian subjects being required to, give notice to the local autho rities, and still less to ask their permission. It is ex pressly agreed upon, that all grain proceeding from Russia shall enjoy the same privileges, and that its free transit shall never experience, under any pretence, any difficulty or impediment. The Sublime Porte engages, besides, to watch careful!y that the commerce and navigation of the Mack Sea shall not experience the slightest obstruction of any nature whatever. For this purpose the Sublime Porte recognizes and declares the passage of the canal of Con- stantinople, and the strait of the Dardanelles,, entirely free and open to Russian ships under merchant flags, laden or in ballast, whether they come from the Black Sea to go into the Mediterranean, or whether, returning from the Mediterranean, they wish to re-enter the Black Sea. These vessels, provided they be merchantmen, of whatever size or tonnage they may be, shall not be exposed to any impediment or vexation whatever, as it has been stipu lated above. The two Courts shall come to an under standing with respect to the best means for preventing a ll delay in the delivery of the necessary clearances. In vir tue of the same principle, the passage of the canal of Con stantinople and of the strait of the Dardanelles is declared free and open for all the merchant vessels of the Powers at peace with the Sublime Porte, whether bound to the Russian ports of the Black Sea or returning from them— whether laden or in ballast —upon the same conditions as those stipulated for the vessels under the Russian flag. I n fine, the Sublime Porte, acknowledging the right of the Imperial Court of Russia to obtain guarantee of this full liberty of commerce and navigation in the Black Sea, sa lemnly declares that she will never, under any pretence whatever, throw the least obstacle in its way. She pro mises, above all, never to permit herself in future to stop or detain vessels, laden or in ballast, whether Russian or belonging to nations with which the Ottoman empire shall not be in a state of declared war, passing through the strait of Constantinople and the strait of the Dardanelles, to repair from the Black Sea into the Mediterranean, or from the Mediterranean to the Russian ports of the Black Sea. And if, which God forbid ! any of the stipulations contained in the present article should be infringed, and the reclamation of the Russian Minister on that subject should not obtain a full and prompt satisfact'ea, the Sublime Porte recognizes, bebrehand, the right in time Im perial Court of Russia to consider such an infraction an act of hostility, and immediately to retaliate on the Ottoman I empire. ARTICLE VIII The arrangements formerly stipulated by the 6th Article of the Corpiention of Akermann, for the purpose of regu lating and liquidating the claims of the respective subjects and merchants of Loth empires, relating to the ind e m n ity fur the losses experienced at 41ifferrnt periods since the war of 1806, rot having been yet carried into effect, and Russian commerce having since the conclusion of the afore said Convention suffered new and considerable injury in consequence of the measures adopted respecting the navi gation of the Bosphorus, it is agreed and determined that the Sublime Porte, as a reparation for that injury and thoselosses, shall pay to the Imperial Court of Russia, in the course of 18 months, at periods which shall be settled hereafter, the sum of one million five hundred thousand ducats of Holland; so that the p - ryment of this sum b put an end to all claim or reciprocal 'pretensions on the part of the two contracting Powers on the subject of the afore said circumstances. ARTICLE IX. The prolongation of the war, to which the present ! treaty of peace happily pws an end, having occasioned to the Imperial Court of Russia considerable expences, the• Sublime Porte recognizes the necessity of offering it an . adequate indemnity. For this purpose, independently of the cession of a small portion of territory in Asia, stipu lated by the fourth article, which the Court of Russia con• sents to receive an account of the said indemnity, the Su blime Porte engages to pay to the said Court a sum of money, the amount of which shall be regulated by mutual accord. ARTICLE X. The Sublime Por:e, whilst declaring its entire adhesion to the stipulations of the treaty concluded in London on the 24th of June (the 6th of July), 1827, between Russia, Great Britain, and France, accedes equally to the act: drawn up on the 10th of March (22d), 1629, by mutual consent, between_these same Powers, on th e h as i i o f th e said treaty, and containing the arrangement of detail rela tive to its definitive execution. Immediately after the ex change of the ratification of the present treaty of peace, the Sublime Porte shall appoint Plenipotentiaries to settle with those of the Imperial Court of Russia, and of the Courts of England and France, the execution of the said stipulation, and arrangements. ARTICLE XI. Immdiately after the signature of the present treaty of peace between the two empires, and the exchange of the ratifications of the two Sovereigns, the Sublime Porte shall take the necessary measures for the prompt and scru pulous execution of the stipulations which it contains, and particularly of the third and fourth articles, relative to the limits which are to separate the two empires, as well in Europe as in A , ia; and of the fifth and sixth ar tides, respecting the principalities of Wallachia and A!ol davia, as well as Servia ; and from the moment when these stipulations can be considered as having been ful filled, the Imperial Court of Russia will proceed to the evacuation of the territory of the Ottoman empire, con formably to the bases established by a separate act, which forms an integral part of the present treaty of peace.- Until the complete evacation of the territories occupied by the Russian troops, the administration and the order of things there established at s the present time, under the in fluence of the Imperial Court of Russia, shall be maintain ed, and the Sublime Ottoman Porte shall not interfere with them in any manner. .REGENT'S l'A lIK. - • :ent Exhibition invite the atter).

Immediately after the signature of the present treaty of peace, orders shall be given to the commanders of the re spective troops, as well by land as by sea, to cease hostili ties. Those conAnitted alter the signature of the prhsent treaty shall be considered as not having taken place, and ski! occasion no change in the stipulations which it con tains. In the same manner any thing which in that in terval shall have been conqnered by the troops of either one or the other of the high contracting Powers, shall be restored without the least delay. ARTICLE XIII. The high contracting Powers, while re-establishing be tween themselves the relations of sincere amity, grant ge neral pardon, and a full and entire amnesty to all those of their subjects, of whatever condition they may be, who, durinprthe come of the war happily terminated this day, shall have taken part in military operations, or manifested, either by their conduct or by their opinions, their attach ment to one or the other of the two contracting Powers. :n consequence, not one of these individual+ shad be Inn- . . lested or prosecuted, either in his person or goods, on account of his past conduct, and every one of them, re covering the property which he possessed before, shall en joy it peaceably tinder the protection of the laws, or shall ke at liberty to dispose of it within the space of eighteen months, to transport himself, with his family, his goods, his . furniture, &c., into any country which be may please to choose, without experiencing any vexations or impe diments whatever.

The same conduct shall be adopted towards the Russian subjects, who, after the signature of the present treaty of peace, in any manner whatever have fallen into captivity, and be found in the states of the Sublime Porte. The Imperial Court of Russia promises, on its part, to act in the same way towards the sulijocts of the Sublime Porte. No repayment shall he required for the sums which have been applied by tha two high contracting parties to the support of prisoners.

Despatches were brought by a King's Ales seuger to the Foreign Office this morning from Lord lIEYTESBURY, our Ambassador at St. Petersburg!' ; they arc dated the 30th ult. At the time these despatches were sent off the terms of the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Turkey had been made public, and appeared to give general satisfaction. We this day publish what is termed the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Turkey—or rather what a Morning Cotemporary (the Advertiser) has very justly designated the first chapter of the treaty, for there are two more chapters in the back ground, but which have not yet had courage to Etee the light, arising probably from a due sense of their inherent baseness, of which their precursor, if they ever venture before the world, giros us a very significant specimen. As two of our contemporaries (under the usual head) have given a detailed account of the various articles of this treaty, we shall not waste time by a minute dissection of its several provi sions, but merely enter our protest against the spirit in which the treaty is conceived—the insi dious tendency of its mock-moderation, and the disgrace:rhich must attach to our national charac ter, as well as the loss to our commercial interests, if this obnoxious treaty is suffered to be carried into effect. The treaty boars the stamp of hypocrisy in every article, but if any proof were wanting, it may be found in the simple circumstance of withholding the collateral parts, by far the most important, from public view. If the stipulations in the absent treaties were of an honest charac ter, they would be forthcoming at the same time with the present ; but the terms in them would not square with the EMPEROR'S professions of moderation, and it would be injudicious to pro voke the public indignation of Europe before the Russians are sufficiently prepared for the consequences. The Emperor NICHOLAS set out in flit war 1 1 with a manifesto, disclaiming all ambitious v i e ws—all territorial aggrandisement, and he puts up the sword, by saying to the SULTAN, I g i ve you up all my conquests in Europe, upon condition that you pay me a consideration i n money for the expenses of the war, but hich consideration I well know you cannot Fay at once, and I shall keep possession of my conquests till you are able to pay for it, some ten or twelve years hence : in fact I am in no hurry—the longer time you take the better." Such, if not the words the EMPEROR would use, is the real English of Russian policy. Ni- CliOLAs knows that the Turks have been impo verished by the war, and as he cannot consistently with his professions appropriate the conquests at makes the te rms o f peace such that he c possession o f th em t ill a more f i tting present,oli,:n keeprt he opportunity presents itself for the development of his perfidy, by adding them permanently to his empire. rman Gazelle, Papers ndica t a es haveperrttib, article, from s received this morn ing, e followin g from the Augsburg G in what light England is viewed by the friends of Russia. We have all along maintained that there was a system of duplicity carried on towards this country by the professors of moderation in the North, while their armies were taking advan tage of our confidence by pushing their own interests against Turkey, and through her against our commercial interests, as future events will prove : Accsnunc, OCT. 7. The Supplements to the Augsburg Gazette of the 6th and 7th contain, under the tide of " The Oriental tion," a long article, dged from the Rhine, Sept. 2G, di rected against the policy of England evrr since the com mencement of the Greek Revolution, with the view of showing that it was imprudent awl narrow-minded in its conception, and iniurious in its results ; that it has ltd to the ruin of the Turkish Empire, by deluding Mahtnond with vain !topes, and has opened the eyes of the Continent to the real designs of England. The following is the con clusion of this article:— " Events have rent the veil behind which British policy had hitherto concealed from the Continent its own para mount interests. Nobody can any longer be deceived ; every body is Pennilile that the victories of Russia have ac quired freedom from commerce, a long-wished -fur security to the independence of the Continent, and that, on the other hand, all the obstacles that England might throw in the way of the complete success of the great enterprise of the Emperor Nicholas ran be calculated only to serve Bri tish commercial monopo!y and British supremacy. People refuse, as long as they can, to recognise a new state of things that is disagreeable to them; but at length evidence is not to be resisted. The Turkish Empire is not only shaken to its foundation—all the bonds that held it toge ther are dissolved—its supports have fallen—its power is dashed to pieces, and the notion which represented its mountains, the fanaticism of its inhabitants, the pride and energy of its Sovereign, as the most certain means of defence, has proved to be a complete illusion. No earthly power can banish this fact from the chain of causes which ►nest have a decisive influence in giving .a new face to the world. Providence has given to the Rus , ians the most glorious victory, the power to decide the fate ►:f coun tries in which nature has lavished her choicest gifts, which history has consecrated by immortal deeds, which hare been too long the prey of barbarians who desolated the garden of the earth, degraded the spirit of nations in s'avery, and who found the guarantee of their existence in the family desertion of the Christian states. The English may flatter themselves with the possibility of a peace which shall again allow to barbarians the right of existing in the ancient domain of civilization, and of score the lustre of tht, victories of the Ilusbians. It is not to be conceived that the Prince on the throne of the Caws, dis tinguished by firmness of character, talents, and humanity, and in tl,e pt ime of hfe,should be insensible of the task incum bent on- him, and refuse the glory of becoming the author of prowerity and harpiners in countries which are theatr e s o f . _ the deeds 4AlexanTer andAristides,Pempeyand Casar. The victories of the Greeks over die barbarians of Xerxes have immortalized them; let a new and, as far as regards the civilized world, more important victory over the barbarians of Mainoml, give the fairest wreath to the young Em peror, the first years of whose reign are distinguished by one of the most decisive events in the history of the world. Who ventures to hope that the Emperor will tear the wreath, in order to please the English? Where Pro vidence has spoken, the Cabinets cannot restore the old system, which has fallen into ruins. Their wisdom con sists in reconciling themselves with what exists, and in directing it to the advantage of justice, morality, know ledge, and humanity. Never was a fairer opportunity given them to show their wisdom. No wavering of views and will, no rotten hopes of what is already fallen, but resolution raid creative energy alone can erect a durable edifice on the cleared ground, and secure the peace of the world. A lame peace would as little check the destina lion of Russia, as former treaties of peace were able to hinder the invasion of all Europe by the French armies. Only the disadvantage of the old relations can be still pre served, if means should be found to deprive the Russians of the last harvest of victory ; all the advantages of future harvests would thereby be secured to them as their exclu sive gain." We have received by the Mountstuart phinstone, which has arrived at Port Glasgow, Bombay Couriers to the 7th of June, from which we make the following extracts. The news of the Catholic Question being conceded diffused universal joy in India : (From the Bombay Courier of May 30. ) There have been several arrivals from England since our last, viz. the Lady Fever.yham, the Janet, the Runny mede, the William Maitland, the Rifleman, and the Hero; the latter having beer. to Rio Janeiro, the Cape, and the Mauritius. The R;fiernan brig was taken up to bring out the cargo of the Prince Regent, which vessel got on the Kish Bank in the Irish Channel, and springing a leak put into Kingston. Acc , .unts were received yesterday from Hyderabad, mentioning the death of his Highness the Nizam, which took place at eight o'clock on the morning of the 21st ir,st. His Highness has been succeeded by his eldest son Nasir oo Dowbah, and the greatest tranquility was said to prevail. The appointment of Mr. Dewar to the exalted post of Chief Justice of the Supreint: Court of Judicature appears to yield general satisfaction throughout the settlement ; and this arises as much from a belief in his perfect fitness for the office as from the sentiments of regard and esteem with which the Learned Judge has inspired all who have lad the pleasure of forming his acquaintance since he arrived in Bombay two years ago. It is certain that Mr. Justice Dewar ascends the bench under advantageous circumstances, which none of his pre decessors could boast. To a competent acquaintance with the difflrent branches of the English law, his Lordship we believe, unites the peculiar advantage of a knowledge of the language, habits and prejudices of the people and of the constitution of the community amongst whom he is ap pointed by his Sovereign to dispense justice. Of the im portance of this acquisition every Judge who has ever sat on the Indian Bench must h•rve been duly sensible, but few we suspect have been able to find leisure enough amidst their multifarious duties for the application neces sary to its possession.

A vessel has arrived from Terceira, which island she left on the the 21st of Sept., after having succeeded in landing some troops. We arc informed that a great number of the prison ers taken in the late encounter there, particularly those who could be depended on, have been in corporated in the ranks of the brave defenders of Terceira, and the remainder there, supposed to be staunch in DON MIGUEL'S cause, have been doomed to work at the repairs orthe fortifica tions. Three men of war were still blockading the island, the Don John the Sixth, two cor vettes and a brig. Every thing was well orga nized, and the island perfectly tranquil, without the least fear of a future attack. The marriage of the wealthy D. BAILLIE, Esq., with the amiable daughter of Lady STEWART, is fixed to take plice within a fortnight. HOW TO SECURE BANK-NOTES.-- Sixty seamen of the Druid, paid off at Plymouth last Monday week, and who had hoisted the yellow-flag—t. e., refused paying those who credited them—left there, a few days since, in a sloop, for Portsmouth, which, from adverse wi n d s , put into Salcombe. The sailors landed , and about 50 of them, wishing to have a cruise , steere d off for Ki ngs h r i dge ; and one o o f 401., secured arty party, who had recei ved a s um near l y amount j, h i s money (hank- no t es ) b y putting it ,g t in his shoes ; an d his surprise m a y b e b etter imagined th an expressed when, in weighing anchor at Kingsbridge, and overhauling his sto ck, he di scovere d t h e whole of his notes , with the exception of a solitary fire, actually chafed in small pieces, so that not the least trace of a bank-bill could be discovered. THE FUM)S.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwELrff e'CLoct: By accounts from New York, of the same date as our last advices, it appears that the Americo' Cabinet are still agitating the question of the We', diency of purch as i ng T exas f rom t h e R epu blic el, Mexico; and th e f o ll ow i ng o b servat i ons are a llude d to in the American Papers on the subject :—Th e Mexican Government is at this time in a state of ter exampled financial embarrassment, and this circute" seance has caused the breaking up of her Navy, the diminution of her Army, and has disseminated a spirit of distrust, dissatisfaction, and dissention , amongst the citizens generally. The exposed situa' tion of Texas requires two garrisons, attended with considcrab'e expense, and the weak condition of the Mexican Government and defenceless situation , would render it an easy conquest to a foreign foe, which would be much more humiliating than a volum tary cession; for these reasons we believe its attain' merit practicable. _ _ By the account of the Liverpool Markets it sr pears, that extensive sales in Cotton: have taken place during the week, not less that 20,880 bags of the above article have been sold, of which 1,509 were American, 500 Brazil, and 600 Egyptian, the price has improved Fl. per lb. Accounts from Havre of the Bth Oct. state, that the sales there in bottom were 8,200 bales, and the prices were maintained; two English ships lade: with corn, had entered the above port from London, xvhe:e they left 14 other ships loading with grain for Havre and Rouen. The accounts from Paris mention, that the Pot . ' tugtuse emigrants which have tak en re f uge i n van' ous town , of Bretagne, in Fiance, have received no' tice, that they arc going to lae quartered throughout Fiance, as the French Government do not think proper that mote than i•ix officers and 12 soldiers should remain in one town. Lord Cochrane is arrived at Havre, on board the packet-boat Southampton. At length the labour of the mountain has brought forth a mouse—the long -expected treaty of peace between the Russians and Turks has appeared, and is of much the same tenor as previously received, which is rather an unfortunate event for the settling' day (to-morrow) in Consols, as the Bears expeeto the treaty would contain some stipulations unfavouv able to this country. Indeed, this treaty is of more favourable description than was expected. The treaty of peace has not had the least effect on the Funds ; this morning Consols, which left 0 11 yesterday at 89i # for the account, and 69i buyers. fin. November, opened at the same price, with nothing doing as yet. The settling day being so near at hand the spent' Liters are afraid to extend their Recounts, therefore no business of imporiance is expected to take place until Friday. This is fettling day in the Foreign market, but up to the present hour we do not hear of any failures, and the only business doing is making up their ac counts; the prices at present may be quo•ed as yer lerday.

Up to the present hour a great Mlles., prevails in the Consol Market, and Consols have continued the whole of the morning at 891 1 for the present Account, and 891 for November—no business doing of any consequence. We cannot as yet ascertain whether it will turn out a Bull or Bear Account, which cannot be known until four o'clock this after noon, when the puts and calls will be decided. The Sinking Fund does not appear so good as the last quarter, when it was at two millions six hundred thousand. By the report of the Corn Exchange this morn ing►, it appears, that it was in a stagnant state, very little doing, and at Monday's prices. The settling of the Account in the Foreign mar-. ket, to the present-time, is going off well. Brazilian, Greek, and Danish Stocks are the only accounts of consequence to settle. A Morning contemporary has made a wonderful discovery, tilt the Turks are to pay the Russians four or five millions sterling; this we published, ten days since. THREE O' CLOCK.

This morning the dividends on several portions of the public debt, the Transfer Books of which have been shut for some time past, commenced paying at the Bank of Eng land. The dividends now in course of payment are on Reduced Annuities; the Four per Cents. created in 1826; the Three and a Half per Cents. Reduced ; Long Annui ties; Three and a Half per Cents, of 1818, and Life An nuities ; also on Bank Stock, and the Old South Sea An nuities. The amount of the dividends to be paid to the public this quarter is under nine millions sterling. The attendance at the Bank this morning was pretty great. The Isorat of employment for money amon g capitalists cannot be better proved than by stating, that scarcely on any previous occasion have the large holders of stock bees less anxious to receive their dividends than during the last quarter. In the vicinity of the Bank there were many dividend hunters, but the activity of the police prevented any depredat ons from being committed. We can state with confidence that Mr. Jtts fee BuertooGn's resignation has been tendered to the LORD CHANCR;LLOR• The Learned Judge, though reco vered in a great measure from his late severe illness, is labouringg at this time under a heavy domestic affliction in the death of his sister, a maiden lady of advanced age, whose death, which took place a few days since, was occa sioned by her clothes taking fire.—Mornin g Paper. Lord COLCHESTER (late the Hon. Captain Anew), eldest son of the late SPEAKER of the House of Commons, is appointed to the command of the Volage frigate, fitting out for fcreign service at Portsmouth. It is expected that: the Hon. PHILIP ABBOT, third son of the late Lord COLCHESTER, will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar the Hon. Arss TALBOT, a lady of great beauty a nd highly accomplished. We are happy to be able to state that the son of Mr. WALLACK, of Drury-lane Theatre, who lay at the point of death from Friday forenoon till Sunday morning, has been pronounced out of danger, and is likely to do well. A steam-boat is about to ply hourly between Hythe and Southampton. As a proof of the small quantity of hops grown this year, only 40 waggon-loads of them pasted throu g h the turnpike-gate nearest to Weyhill, whereas 400 have been known to do so in a productive season. Spiders are excellent barometers : if the ends of their webs are found branching out to any length, it is a Sure sign of favourable weather; if, on the contrary, they are found short, and the spider does not attend to repair ing it properly, bad weather may be expected.

EDITOR,--At the period when that brilliant star, Miss Fanny Kemble, has so suddenly appeared in the theatrical hemisphere, perhaps the following little anecdote may not be unacceptable : In the year 1818 I chanced to be at Boulogne, sur-Mer, and to be present on an occasion at a semi nary for young ladies, when rewards and other to kens of approbation were publicly bestowed on those scholars who, by their attention and appliciition to their several studies, had most merited the palm of superiority through the preceding year. The ceremony is attended with considerable eclat, all the public functionaries of the town, both civil and ecclesiastical, being present, and the Mayor or Prefect awarding the prizes, such as books, little ornaments of the person, wreaths, &c., and, on the occasion to which I allude, the successful candidate for these rewards, in every branch of education taught in the seminary, was a little English girl, only sixyears of age, and named Mademoiselle Francaise Kemble. I shall never forget with what infantine grace and elegance the little creature came forward on each succeeding occasion that her name was pro nounced, either to be crowned with a wreath or to receive a garland, or a book, or other little reward. Her mother, Mrs. Chatles Kemble, was present, and did not appear to be among the least delighted of the delighted auditory, at a scene so gratifying to her maternal feelings. Tears frequently rolling down her cheek., attested what those feelings were. I remain, Mr. Editor, yours,: &c. October 13. TIIE ARMY.-CALCI7TTA.

Our readers will perceive by an advertisem en in this day's publication, that the spirited Proprietors o that magnificent and unequalled place of public resort, The Colosseum, in the Regent's Park, are determined to yield their numerous ♦isitors every gratification that taste or talent is capable of devising. Within the last few days a fresh attraction has been added !o the great variety of which it already consist., namely —an Ascending Room, taste fully fitted up, by which the company are imperceptibly elevated to that spot (the Gallery) where the wonders of the British Metropolis and the surrounding country, to the extent of forty miles, first burst upon the view. This very useful and elegant piece of mechanical ingenuity will, no doubt, be duly appreciated by every visitor ; but particu larly so by all those who, from whatever cause, have an aversion to the labour of ascending a flight of steps; as might have been expected, it has been in great requisition during the season, and it is a somewhat remarkable cir cumstance, that their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CUMBZILLAND, Prince GEORGE, and a large party, were the very first individuals to enter, and be raised up i n it. A very choice and beautiful collection of Corals and Shells have been lately added to the Conservatories, to give, if possible, increased charms to this already splendid and delicious retreat. st's)laiNG INTELLIGENCE. IN EWA! AIZEET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. NEW:IIA aa ET, MONDAY Ni GUT. —The two matches left und,i,l.ll when our actlituit was sent from the Race murse this afternoon c !me off thus : MAteh, °ZOO sues. A. F. Mr. 11-berts's bichet, Sst 4.th Duke of Richmmurs 11tigli Bolin, Bst. Blb 2 The betting on this race was more than usually interest ing at the commencement. The horse (why, we are at a loss to conjecture) was the favourite at 5 and 6 to 4, but before starting the odds gradurlly lessened, till at last it became even betting , the mar e a pp ear i ng t o h ave a very slight call. She made running at a good pace all the way, and was never in any danger till about half a distance front home, when Boyce set to work, punishing his horse with great severity, and if whipping are spurring had been suf ficient he would certainly have won : Buckle, however, was quiet on his mare, and won rather cleverly by half a length. There was some manwuvering for the whip-hand, which the old-un gained, Boyce being forced to use his left hand in whipping the horse. Match, 800 sovs. h. ft. D. I. Lord Sefton's Morris Dancer, Bst. 7lb 1 Mr. Greville's Lady Emily, Sst. 7lb 2 Betting 11 to Bon Morris Dancer. The filly made the running till a few lengths of the judge's chair, when Morris Dancer let loose, and won cleverly by a length. A diffe rent result could hardly have been expected, Morris Dancer coming to the post quite fresh and vigorous as one of the active class from which his cognomen is derived, while Lady Emily has latterly been keeping had company, the natural consequence being that her character is gone, and her friends have turned their backs upon her. Robinson rode Morris Dancer, and Arnull the filly. The Garden Stakes turned out one of the worst races ever seen, and like the same stakes last year (when Rough Robin won it), was carried off by a bad horse, solely from the weight to be carried being so trifling. As it was not known till this morning whether Zinganee would start, the betting was not by any means brisk till then; when, how ever, it was ascertained that he had taken a sweat, and would not run, it got pretty brisk, Coroner being the fa vourite ; Luss, with several friends, at 5 to 2 and 3 to 1. On the course Mameluke's friends rallied round him, and before the close he was the favourite, Luss having improved a shade and Coroner retrograded. The last odds were-6 to 4 against Mameluke, and 2 to 1 against each of the other two, the filly for choice. Matneluke never came to the post in better humour ; he went off without evincing any of that viciousness so commonly attributed to him. Coroner took the lead at a capital pace, and kept it up with consi derable spirit to the new ground, where it was obvious enough how the race would terminate. Mameluke was already beat by the immense weight on his back, and the great pace they had been going; and here also Coroner began to flag. The Luss filly immediately took up the running, went right away, and won in a canter by six lengths ; rode by Pavis (who was declared to ride 64. 101 b. instead of 6st. 71b.), Coroner by Wakefield, and Mameluke by Robinson, who pulled up some distance from home. The weather was favourable. Betting.—Clearwell Stakes.-5 to 2 agst Advance, 7to 2 agst Cetus, and sto 1 agst sister to Lapdog. Advance was third for the July stakes. The Whip-6 to 4on Lamplighter, p. p. offered. At the Rooms—Duke of Grafton, Duke of Portland, Lerd Verulam, Lord Cavendish, Lord Lowther, Lord Anson, Lord G. Bentinck, Lord Joists Fitzroy, Sir M.

COVENT-GARDEN SUBSCRIPTION.—Lord NORMANDY has enclosed, in a letter from Florence, to Mr. RomNs, a donation of 25/. ; the substance alike reflects great credit on his liberality and proverbial taste for the drama; it concludes thus :—" The destruction of the theatre would not merely be a severe calamity, but I should account it a disgrace to the national taste: for myself I should regret it, from feelings of personal regard to many of the parties connected, and the warm interest I shall always entertain for the prosperity of the drama." We are delighted to see the Duke of BEDFORD has generously added 1000/. to the fund ; and following this laudable ex ample, we find the Duke of MorraosE, 100/. ; S. MURE, Esq. 50/. ; Lord Figs, 50/. ; Colonel BERKELEY, 1001. ; Lord EGREMONT, 100/. ; Lord I.ONCDALE, 50/. ; THOS.

This is as it should be. The public have most cheerfully obeyed the call that has been made upon them to relieve the performers from the severe visitation with w hi c h t h ey were threaten ed—itnow only remains for the proprietors of the private boxes to lend their ready assistance, and no doubt can then be en tertained the Theatre may progress through the season successfully. The receipt from the King's Theatre added 6961. 12s. to the fund--a circumstance without any parallel except on th e n i g h t g i ven b y C ovent -G ar d en Theatre ru aid of poor EMERY'S family. CONVICTS ORDERED FOR EXECUTION, The following is a brief account of the offences of which the unhappy persons were conv'cted who are to suffer the extreme penalty of the law on Mon day next : Richard Chick was convicted of a burglary in the house of Mr. Wilson, a mercer, in Sun-street, Bishopsgate. The convict was indicted with Mary, his wife, and Charles William Elliott and his wife; but the three latter were acquitted. It appeared from the evidence, that about one o'clock in the morning of the 13th of July the prosecutor was alarmed, and on going down stairs discovered that an aperture had been made in the wall between his and the adjoining house, through which some per sons had entered and stolen property to the amount of 400/. In consequence of some information he received, he went to the house of Chick, in Beth nal-green, four days after the robbery, where, on a search being made, a considerable part of the stolen property was found. The watchman swore that on the morning of the robbery he saw Chick bring some Janie bundles from the house through the party-wall of which access had been obtained to the prosecutor's premises, and after placing them in a light cart, drive off. It was also proved that the adjoining house had been hired by a person who absconded immediately after the burglary. The only evidence against Elliott and his wife was, that a small part of the stolen property was found in their apartments. The Recorder passed sentence of death upon Chick immediately after his convic tion, at the same time telling him that his offence was one of so aggravated a nature that he could not hold out to him any hopes of mercy. The convict heard the sentence with the most perfect indif ference. Josiah Nathan, alias Joseph Latham, alias Josiah Jones, aged 27, was convicted of a burglary is the dwelling-house of Mr. Newton, at Mile•end Old town. James Browne, alias King, who was con victed of the same offence at the last July Sessions, was executed on the 21th of August. Previous to his execution he confessed that Nathan and himself had been concerned in upwards of 80 burglaries and robberies, and among others that committed at the house of Mr. Newton. In consequence of this in formation Nathan was apprehended, and on the trial the substance of the evidence adduced against him was as follows :—The prosecutor's house was broken open about one o'clock in the morning of the 23d of April, and a considerable quantity of property stolen. The thieves killed the yard-dog previous to break ing into the house ; they left behind them, among other articles, a hairy cap, which was proved to be long to Nathan, by persons who had seen him wear it. A watchman swore that he saw him coming in a direction from the prosecutor's house on the morn ing of the robbery. He had but recently: returned from transportation at the time he committed the offence for which he is doomed to suffer. Richard Gifford pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having personated ;one William Green, and thereby obtained 1251. Three per Cent. Consols that stood in the name of the said William Green on the books of the Bank of England. There was another charge against him, for per sonating Richard Mann, and obtaining 271., the di vidend due on certain stock standing in his name. The facts of the case are as follows : On the 6th of March last the prisoner applied to Mr. Linton, a stock-broker, in Shorter's-court, re presenting himself as William Green, and requesting he would sell out 1251. stock that stood in his name. The broker declined selling out the stock, on the ground that he did not know the prisoner; upon which the latter said, " Why your father knows me well, and has frequently seen me at the National Debt-office." The broker's father was sent for, who stated that he had some knowledge of the pri soner, but could not recollect where he had seen him. The broker was satisfied, and made out the neces sary documents for the transfer, which having been completed, he handed over to the prisoner a cheque for the amount. The prisoner gave a receipt for the stock, and on comparing that with the one given for the last halflear s dividend, the hand-writing was found to correspond exactly. In the second case, when the prisoner attempted a similar trick, the broker to whom he applied asked for a reference, upon which lie named Mr. Linton, who happened to be in the Rotunda at the moment, and on being ap pealed to, at once recognised the prisoner as the person who had imposed on him in a similar manner before. An officer was consequently sent for, and he was given into custody. His friends are making every exertion to procure a commutation of his sentence. GRAND REVIEW AND SHAM FIGHT AT WOOLWICH. Yesterday the whole of the Royal Artillery sta tioned at Woolwich, consisting of two battalions of Infantry, and several troops of Horse Artillery, with their field-pieces, were reviewed on the Com mon by Lord Edward Fitzroy, Lieutenant Master- General of the Ordnance. About half-past ten o'clock his Lordship, accom panied by a number of distinguished officers, came upon the ground, and was received with the usual ceremonies, the troops being in line, with their front towards the barracks, and flanked on their right and left by the Horse Artillery, forming a most interesting appearance. His Lordship and suite, having rode up and down the line, then took their station on the right, when the whole, having passed them in review order, changed their front, and the principal part of the horse separated from the main body, and took up a position under cover of the Academy, from whence they opened a brisk fire from their field-pieces on the infantry, which the latter returned by several dis charges, both from the field-pieces and musketry, and then, forming into close columns, advanced, and drove the supposed enemy from their entrenchment further into the Common, where the horse several times halted, and renewed their fire on the infantry from three different points, the infantry . continuing the pursuit, during which they performed several manoeuvres, forming in line, and firing by com panies, also forming in squares, and opening a fire of musketry to resist the charge of cavalry, &c., which, with the discharge of so many field-pieces, caused some confusion among the equipages on the ground; and the grotesque appearance of the spec tators, who were flying in all directions to get out of the way, was highly amusing to those who were in safety. About one o'clock the firing ceased, and the whole of the troops, having been again formed into line, saluted the General, who expressed his approbation of their high state of discipline; after which the troops marched off to their respective barracks. Not the slightest accident occurred during the whole of the time. On Friday, when the Artillery were practising the evolutions for the Review of yesterday, one of them was severely injured, but he is in a fair way of recovery. On Saturday another of them, sta tioned to ram home the powder, mistaking, it is sup. posed, the flash of the adjoining piece for that of his own, began to sponge his gun just at the moment when the match was applied, to it, and consequently received the whole of its contents, which mutilated and disfigured him in a shocking manner—one of his eyes was blown completely out of its socket, and one of his arms shattered in a dreadful manner. He was taken to the hospital, where the arm was amputated, and every assistance rendered him, and we under stand some hopes are now entertained of his ultimate recovery. It is said to be under the consideration of the new Commissioners of the Police to raise the salaries of the officers, their present pay of one guinea per week, after the deductions for clothing are made, not being con sidered sufficient. THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.---It is said that this Theatre is likely to be converted into barracks for the New Police, the Commissioners having been for some days past in treaty for its purchase. Should the negotia tion for the purchase of the Theatre prove successful, it will form the head-quarters of the New Police force. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The formal provisions of the treaty of peace between Russia and Turkey; which arc laid at length before the public, would be read, in general, without dissatisfaction, if there were nothing behind. There is, at least, no direct partition of Turkey,—no keys to the heart of Turkey in Europe to be held within the grasp of the Russian Autocrat, as posts of annoyance and arbitrary aggression. The Asiatic conquests to be retained are limited to a very small portion of territory along the eastern coast of the Euxine, and to one or two fortresses of secondary rank, which serve at once to define and strengthen the Russian frontier of the Caucasus, which had hitherto experienced, not infrequently, the incur sions of neighbouring Turkish tribes. With re spect to the free navigation of the Euxine, the Bosphorus, and the Dardanelles, the principal stipulations are, with one exception, those which every friend of the industry, commerce, and kindly intercouse of civilized nations would have solicited the several states of Europe to guarantee in favour of Russian subjects and of their own : all merchant ships, of all European flags, at peace (not with Russia but) with the Porte, are to have free ingress, progress, and egress, with out let or hindrance of any kind from the Otto. man authorities ; and any infraction of this atti de is to be held a declaration of war againuf, Russia. There is nothing demanded in rel tion to men-of-war; nor are they alluded to, at least in the ostensible treaty. The treaty of London in favour of the independence of Greece, and the protocol of the 10th March, 1829. for defining its future boundary, are to be recog.= nised and acceded to by the Sultan. So far, then, as we have yet gone, we should be willing to concede that the Emperor Nicholas has fulfilled the engagements announced by his manifesto at the opening of the war. His Imperial Majesty has, apparently, forborne to exercise powers which, in the first instance undoubtedly, whatever might have been the ultimate consequence, there wa no human force at hand or within call to restrain. In this he will have judged wisely for his own dominions, which need more to be consolidated, and internally cultivated, than to he enlarged. So much for what appears on the face of this important treaty. With regard to what does not appear, or is only referred to as forming the sub ject of " separate" articles, if we do not speak in similar terms of eulogy, it is evidently not from any hostile feeling towards Russia. We should be willing to hope that those articles may, when made public, be such as not to entail reproach are e it s % o ve in c e an p i o lo in t concealtsof greatf r oTmopuor Importance rese at rved rv ti e on l i rre fOr these separate articles. One is, the amount of pecuniary indemnity required, and the periods to be fixed for its liquidation : another is, the definite arrangement of the times at which the Russian troops are to commence and to com plete their evacuation of the Turkish territory. There is yet another circumstance, which strikes us as being pregnant with danger to the continu ance of peace between the Emperor and the Sul tan. The Russian subjects are, it appears, to enjoy a degree of independence throughout Tor. , key, which would seem capable of being ren , dered inconsistent with the administration of the Turkish law, or indeed with the existence of any sovereign power, except that of Russian Consuls, in the country. The commerce of Russian subjects is not to be " checked in any case, or under any pretence, by any prohibition, restrie i tion, regulation, or measure, whether of adminis tration or of legislation."—" Russian subjects shall live, throughout Turkey, under the exclu. sive jurisdiction and police of the Ministers and Consuls of Russia." What becomes, then, of the Turkish authorities ? Suppose the Russian subject abuses his privileges, and violates the usoges or laws of Turkey, where is the Turk— whether Sultan or subject—to find redress ? Again : Russian vessels shall not be subject to visitation or search whatever by any Ottoman authorities, neither out at sea nor in the Turkish ports. Suppose, then, that a case of smuggling, or other abuse of the rights of commer ce , s h ou ld be detected, where is the redress ? So far we had proceeded with our remarks on this most important treaty, or bad rather in truth drawn them to a conclusion : in which remarks also, it will be observed, we had cast a fearful and sus picious glance on certain articles, at the moment when we wrote unknown to us. But as Perdita says, in the Winter's Tale— " The self-same sun that shines upon his court, " Hides not his visage from our cottage ; but " Looks en us alike.* The light which shot from Constantinople to illumine the Court and the Miuistry, imparted a ray also to our office in its path. In plain Eng fish; we have got what is of much more im portance than the treaty itself,—we have got the substance of the supplementary and separate articles : we should, indeed, rather say the sepa rate treaties referred to in that document, and explanatory of some of its principal provisions ; and it is upon these, no doubt, that dissatisfac tion will fix itself, as untoward proofs of Russian moderation. By one of them, the sums which the Porte is to pay to Russia, as indemnity for the expenses of the war, and for the losses of the Russian merchants, are assessed, the former at 10,000,000 of ducats, nearly .5,000,000/. sterling; the latter at 1,500,000 ducats, about 750,000/.,—sums which it should appear to be entirely out of the power of the Sultan to dis charge. They are to be paid in instalments,— (and upon this point we shall have a remark to subjoin),—the greater sum in ten equal annual instalments of about half a million each ; and the smaller in four instalments of unequal mag nitude, increasing as they go on, and at smaller intervals. Upon the payment of the first of this latter class of instalments, Adrianople is to be evacuated : on the second being paid, the Russians retreat beyond the Balkan ; on the third, beyond the Danube ; and when the fourth and the whole of the sum of ten mil- lions of ducats has been discharged, they are to quit the Turkish territory altogether. By these articles it should indeed appear, that Russia has in fact secured to herself the perpetual posses sion of the Principalities, unless some extraor dinary gift of Providence should enable the Sultan to raise the sum of five millions in tcn t y l e ta a t rs. in We ur wn, hw m e n ve it r y , t h n er i e tis ju s s u t b j o e b ct s s er f v n e r , their private losses, as the Emperor Nichol a s secin i g iiid o e was perhaps obliged to do by his duty, making their payment the condition of a series of retreats, be has left th e public in demnity, both as to amount and times of pay ment, subject to the remonstrance and interpo sition of the great Powers of Europe. By the other supplementary treaty the regulations for the internal Government of the Principalities are settled on such a footing, by giving Russia an equal voice with Turkey in the nomination of the Hospod a rs, an d d epr i v i ng t h e S u l tan of the arbitrary power of deposing them, together with other provisions in a similar spirit, that there is

The present is a very fitting opportunity for canvassing the privilege which Foreign Ministers have hitherto enjoyed of an exemption from duty On the articles imported for their own use.— This is a privilege which, from its very nature, is liable to be abused ; and it is well known that it has often been grossly abused. We take it for granted that the Ambassadors of the great Powers of France, Austria, Russia, Prussia, and Eng land, are themselves above embarking in. smug gling transactions ; but experience proves that even in their case, a sersant will not scruple to abuse the confidence reposed in him by his mas ter to smuggle under cover of his name. As to the Ambassadors of the minor Powers, it is no toriously known that some of them live by smuggling. When a very active servant of the Crown detected, during the Ministry of Lord Liverpool, a smuggling transaction, in which the A mbassador of a certain Monarchy was im plicated, Lord Liverpool and Mr. Canning, knowing that for years that Ambassador had had mottling from his Court for his support tbis expensive capital, and knowing also t'!Ow the supplies could alone be obtained, telt a reluctance to expose the nakedness of t e land. It was thought better, on the whole, tt.: wink at the abuse. Some of the Ambassadors at Paris in like manner exist sinviggling. In these days of improved com 'rnil4eation, it may well be questioned whether ' l''Aident Ambassadors arc in any case required. 'nen the people were considered merely as the stock of the Sovereigns, and everything depended on the caprice of a .\ lonarch and his mistresses ,r minions, and polities meant Court intrigues, t hen a resident Ambassador might be indispens able, with a view to security against plots and machinations. But, in our times, the most abso lute Sovereign governs with the advice of a Se mur, or some other body, to which all public orfairs arc submitted ; and the idea of conducting public affairs on any other principle than a ten dency to promote the public good, is universally disclaimed. It is at least certain that the con duct of all the great Powers can always be now pretty correctly anticipated, with reference to any given conjuncture, by taking into consideration the circumstances and situation of such Powers. Warlike preparationa Cannot be made in silence, and armies catittot be put in motion till long after !hit idatol has been given. A functionary of a instils More humble description than an Ambas 'lffil ;eight answer all the purposes for which an Ambassador can be employed. But waving this question, it is at all events clear that there can be no necessity for maintaining Ministers at Courts of a secondary rate. The Ministers of the great Powers are above the necessity of Smuggling, and they would willingly forego any aslsantag,e they can derive from an exemption front tlitties. But if there should be any diffi- Olty about' the matter, on account of the alleged Unfairness in compelling the Ambassador of a country in which taxes are low to pay more in a highly taxed country than the Ambassador of such country would pay in his, it would become the Government of this, the highest taxed na tion in the world, to pay down at once an allow ance to the different Ambassadors, in order to repel any charge of wishing to gain, on an ex -chouge of Ambassadors, through a difference of ditty. But we are persuaded all the great States +s-ottld at once consent to the abolition of the privilege. As to the smaller States, the effect oftnch an abolition would, no doubt, be to pre vent many of them from having Ministers here. It is the custom in some parts of the world, which we will not particularize, when a man, by his conduct in a situation at home, has merited the gallows, to appoint him to a foreign mission, and the privileges of the new situation arc soon turned to account. Now that these people arc no longer necessary to our Stock Exchange for purposes of deception, it would be as well at once to annihilate them, by cutting off their pri vileges, which supply them with the sinews of W a re— Moen ing Chronicle. We published some months ago the speech tlelivered by Sir John Grant, on closing the Court at Bombay on the Ist of April last, and the Proclamation of the Governor in Council which followed. We learn from a most respectable quarter, that letters have been received from Cal einta, stating that the Judges there think Sir John Grant acted properly in closing the Court, and that the character and honour of the King's Judges did not admit of their acting any longer alter such an interference with their authority as that ordered by Sir John Malcolm. Our readers will recollect that the Judges were ordered not to bring up a person before the Court, on the allegation that the Judges of the King's Court bad jurisdiction beyond the Island of Born bay ; and that the Habeas having, notwith standing, been issued, its execution was pre vented by the military, acting under the autho rity of the Governor in Council. The opinion of the Government at home was sufficiently evinced by the appointment of the Judge Ad vocate, then at Bombay, to be the Senior Judge over Sir John Grant ; and the decision of the King in Council, on the petition of Sir John Grant, supported the Governor of Bombay in the course he had taken. It is extremely diffi cult at this distance, and with the imperfect knowledge of the situation and circum stances possessed in England, to form an opi nion on the business. It must always be borne in mind that .Judges in India are not, as in Eng land, controulled by public opinion, as there is no public ; that the existing Government is charged with the protection of the nations under their sway, and bound to exercise in their be half a controul over all functionaries, including Judges. In England, when Judges misbehave, there is first the censure of an enlightened public, and next the appeal to Parliament, which can address the Executive. In India, the Com pany unites the functions of King and Parlia ment, and Protector of the Nations; for it is to be borne in mind, that at present the English in India have little sympathy with the natives ; and the forms of English law, in the hands of men linked together as the English in Bombay must be, may easily be made a most effectual engine of oppres sion. We are not disposed to attach much im portance to the sympathy of the Calcutta Judges with the Judges at Byphtay. In every profession there is an esprit de corps, and the History of India affords some: instances in which that esprit has not alwaysaliaplayed itself beneficially. But in the presents4remnstances of the country, with the Commander of the army opposed in a mate rial point - to. the Civil Government, this addi tional' cause of discontent may be of importance. —lbid. The public will do well to keep a wary eye upon the proceedings of the several Water Com panics, who, not contented with enjoying a mo nopoly, which sonic, if not all of them, have most shamefully abused, appear to be meditating flesh measures to increase the general evil to their own advantage. At a recent meeting of the South London Water Works it was gravely, and no doubt most truly stated, that if a coali tion could be formed, and a greater spirit of una nimity exist between the Companies on the Surrey side, the interests of the whole would be advanced ; while another speaker openly arraign the disposition which he said existed among those Companies to undersell one another. This is free trade with a vengeance; and the public has only to witness this opposition to underselling introduced into al the other necessaries of life, as into this most essential one of water, to be at the uncontrolled mercy of those who would thus be allowed to revel in inordinate profits. With the exception, however, of water and of beer, happily this cannot take place. In other trades —as in thoe of the butcher, the baker, and the grocer—the sellers arc too many, and the rivalry toogreat, to admit of such impositions being prac tised. The time, too, we hope is fast approaching, when the monopoly of the mash-tub will experience a downfall, and when the public, but more especially the lower ordet s, will be allowed to enjoy the whole some staple beverage of the country, instead of the deleterious trash which is now dealt out to them Irons magnificent establishments, which seem to exist but to poison the community, en rich the possessors, and overawe both the Go vernment and the Legislature. But that water, the free gift of Heaven, an article so essential to health, happiness, and life, should be sealed from our use except at an almost unattainable price, is more than we trust will be ever submitted to ; but which would inevitably be the case if those who take upon themselves the supply of it were to complete the combination which they openly avow their intention, if possible, to effect. We regret that one hint which we have frequently given, as a means, to a certain degree, of coun teracting this, has not been more generally adopted ; we mean in the erection of pumps for the supply of spring water to all parts of the town. We arc aware that, from habit, people are persuaded that fund and soft water ;we not equally applicable to all purposes. This, how ever, is a mistake ; and when we compare the purity of the one with the proved and acknow ledged filthiness of the other, we do not think that any part of the community would long omit to prefer the well to the cistern, if they had an opportunity of doing so.—Morning Herald. If to be silent about the distresses of the country were to remove them, we might be dis posed to copy the example, without participat ing in the motives of those " public instruc tors," who decry the publication of unpleasant truths. Such writers advocate the principle of concealment, not from regard for the people, but through sycophancy to their rulers. But con ceahnent can only serve the purpose of a tem porary delusion, without alleviating the pressure of calamity. On the contrary, it must accele• rate the crisis of national suffering, which the errors of Government arc calculated to produce. The greatest advantage of a free Press—its truly national and proud characteristic—is to make the voice of truth be heard in the high places of power. In absolute Governments the operation of terror and servility prevents, it ge neral, the language of truth from reaching the ear of the Sovereign. Hence the errors of Go vernment arc not known, where they might be re paired, before their disastrous, and often irreme diable, consequences force themselves upon the Monarch's attention. In such States the su preme authority, unless when wielded by a despot of original and vigorous character, is virtually usurped by men who practice beyond all other accomplishments the artifices of fawning and se•• ductive deception. Inebriated by the delicious poison of flattery, their nominal master, but, in reality, their slave, enjoys the dreams of pleasure upon a bed of roses while his people suffer. The miserable condition of the great mass of his sub jects is seldom known to him until the melan choly truth speaks in a voice of thunder, and startles him from his repose. It is thus, from the suppression of truth, that despotic States are subject to such frequent and sudden rev°• lutions. In free States the errors of Admi nistration—the consequences of the folly or incapacity of Ministers—cannot fail to be made known in the quarter where they ought to be rectified except through the corrupt sub serviency of the Press. If those journalists who make false representations of the state of this country at the present day—who attempt to give the colouring of prosperity to abounding wretchedness, have any private motive to serve we stop not to inquire ; it is enough for us to know that their conduct is calculated to plunge the nation in deeper misery, by hiding from the eyes of its rulers the convincing evidence of the errors which they ought to retract and the evils which it is their duty to remedy. We are not alarmists—neither are we flatterers—we court no party—we pay a blind devotion to the idol of no political sect—our ambition is to serve the public—guided . by that principle, we cannot lend ourselves to the delusive and dangerous system of keeping the distresses of the country out of view. We may say of them, in the words of Mr. Dunning's celebrated motion respecting the influence of the Crown, " they have increased, are increasing, and ought to be diminished ;" and how arc they to be diminished ? Is it by describing trade as advancing when it is rapidly on the decline ? Is it by representing the ma nufacturing districts as reviving into wholesome activity, when the artizans work upon stall/big prices, and the peace of the country is disturbed by repeated explosions ? Is it by stating that the agricultural interests are improving, when the account of every market and fair only tells us of the fall of prices, and every audit-day dis closes the fact that the farmers cannot support the appearance of solvency unless their landlords return them a portion of their rents ? It is na tural that Ministers should be slow to believe the ruinous effects of their own system ; but it is equally natural that those who see the true interests of the country, and wish to preserve whatever remains of its ancient grandeur and valuable institutions should endeavour to con vince them of their mistakes. If men are blind to their own defects, how are we to expect improvement ? It is now about the fifteenth year of peace, and the country instead of showing any symptoms of the restora tion of its prosperity is growing weaker and weaker. Undoubtedly the pressure of the enor mous debt, which is the consideration at which the military glory of the last war was purchased, has a most depressing effect on all its interests ; but the juvenile statesmanship of Air. Peel made that debt doubly oppressive ; nor is it to he wondered at when the Gamaliel at whose feet he sat to learn the science of political economy, was the founder of the Macculloch school--that school which put forth the mischievous and stupid paradox, that the absenteeism of landed proprie tors benefited the country which they deserted— that school which, in groping after recondite non. sense, shuns the contact of common sense. Then, as if the mistakes of Mr. Peel, with re tard to the currency were not sufficiently injuri ous to the State, comes Mr. Huskisson, another ambitious disciple of the theorists, and makes himself an unenvied celebrity by breaking down the best protection of our commerce—carrying away, with an inundation of " philosophy" too powerful for Parliament to resist, those Naviga tion Acts which Adam Smith—himself a liberal theorist—admitted to have been founded in the most deliberate wisdom. To crown the cala mitous effects of those measures, Russia has been allowed to trick us in diplomacy, to beat down the empire of our '' ancient ally" in the field, and to establish a supremacy in the East, which may one day enable her to realise what even the genius of Napoleon could only contem plate with regard to our Indian possessions. Under those circumstances at home and abroad, we see no present hope for the country unless Ministers themselves see and feel the truth. Whatever credit we may give them for their mo tives, we certainly cannot, without violence to our own conviction, pay any compliment to their wisdom. We care not who are Ministers so as their measures arc of advantage to the empire ; and we should be as ready to praise as we now are to censure the present AdminiStration, if they would retrace their steps—make a practical confession of their errors—" emancipate . ' them selves from the fascinating follies of the theorists who have beguiled them--and restore that sound, wholesome, moral, and dignified tone of policy under which the country so long prospered above all the nations of the earth.—/bid. At length we have the satisfaction of laying before our readers a copy of the first chapter of the Treaty of Adrianople—the first chapter we say, because what we insert alludes to various matters which still remain to be settled, and be cause the Hamburg Reporter of Friday last, Which we have just received, mentions that there are three separate treaties-Ist. The treaty of peace, properly speaking, which we now publish —2dly, An explanatory convention, consisting of four articles ; and 3dly, A separate act, relating solely to the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. What the explanatory convention and the separate act may be, we have no means of knowing, but from the accounts in the German Papers ; but the treaty itself is now before our readers, and that they will resemble it in spirit and effect there need be little doubt. The first three articles of the treaty present nothing worthy . of remark, beyond the pretended surrender, by the Emperor of Russia, of all the forts and towns which his armies have taken in the course of the war—the establishment of the Pruth as the boundary between the two empires, the free navigation of the Danube to the merchant vessels of the contracting Powers, and a stipulation that the " right bank of the river shall remain unin habited from the point where the arm of the St. George separates itself from that of Soulineh to a distance of two hours from the river, and that no establishment of any kind shall be formed there any more than on the islands which shall remain in the possession of the Court of Russia, where, with the exception of quarantine, it shall not be allowed to form any other establishment or fortification." By the fourth article the fron tiers between the Russians and Turks in Asia are to be " the line which, following the pre sent limit of the Gouriel from the Black Sea, ascends as far as the border of Imeritia, and from thence in the straightest direction as far as the point where the frontiers of the Pa elialiks of Akhaltzik and of Kars meet those of Georgia, leaving in this man ner to the north, of and within that line, the town of Akhaltzik, and the fort of Khallnalick, at a distance of " not less than two hours." The effect of this boundary line is to give into the hands of Russia in perpetuity all the countries to the north and east of the above line, towards Georgia, Ime ritia, and the Gouriel, as well as all the coast of the Black Sea, from the mouth of the Kouben as far as the port of St. Nicholas inclusive—a pretty considerable rounding, as it has been termed in some Papers, of the Russian territo tories, in that quarter, but much less objection able in every other point of view, than the rigid stipulations in sonic of the subsequent articles. The fifth and sixth articles relate to Moldavia, Wallachia, and Servia, and provide for the pre servation of all the privileges and immunities granted to the two former by the Convention of . Akermann, and for the issuing of a firman which shall order the execution of the clauses respecting Servia in the said Convention, within the period of a month after the signature of the treaty. The seventh article we commend to the perusal of our readers as one of the most obnoxious in spirit, and the most likely to furnish grounds for future war, that was ever contained in a treaty of peace. It is incapable of abridgement. By the eighth article, 1,500,000 ducats are to be paid to Russia within eighteen months, in full of all demands, for losses sustained by her merchants and sub jects since the year 1806. The ninth article stipulates for the payment of a sum of money, as an indemnity to Russia for the expences of the war ; but the sum itself is not specified, and does not appear at first to have been agreed upon. In the tenth article, the Russian Plenipotentiary takes at once the place both of France and Eng land, and provides by his own sole act and deed for the immediate execution of the treaties re specting the independence and limik of Greece, simply leaving to these two Powers to witness, along with Russia, the execution of their stipu lations. This is a bold and not very respectful step, but fully warranted, we must allow, by the inactivity of the Powers who are thus so unceremoniously treated. The ele venth article of the treaty stipulates for the evacuation of the Ottoman territories by the Russian troops, from the moment when the sti pulations of the treaty can be considered as ful filled, for the Administration, and the order of things established therein, under the influence of Russia, being maintained, and the non-inter ference of the Porte, until the stipulations have been fulfilled !—in other words, for that part of the Turkish Empire remaining under Russian, domination, external and internal, until the sti pulations of the treaty have been fulfilled to the utmost extent. The remaining articles merely respect exchanges of prisoners, general pardons, and other matters of little moment to either of the contracting parties. It must be evident to every one, from this brief recapitulation of the different articles of the Treaty of Adrianople 1. That Russia has secured to herself by it the virtual domination, though not the nominal sove reignty, of Moldavia, Wallachia, Servia, and Greece. 2. That she has eecured greater commercial ad vantages to her subjects than are enjoyed by those of any other Power. 3. That she has eentrived by the indefinite manner in which the stipulation's of the treaty are worded, to %yolk i►►to it as many grounds of war as wig ju , tify her in recommencing hostilities at whatever period she pleases. And, 4. We were going to add, that by ftipulating for the government, external and internal, of that part of Turkey, of which she now holds military possession, she is paving the way for its final conquest, and the conciliation of the Turks to her sole, exclusive, and unlimited, dominion. But we arc not yet in possession of an official copy of the separate act which is to specify the sum to be paid by Turkey to Russia as an in demnity for the expensex of the war, and, till we are so, we shall not indulge in any pointed obser vations on the subject. We cannot, however, conclude for the present without observing that, if Russia he permitted to carry the above treaty into full effect, a blow will have been struck at the independence of the Turkish empire, from which it may never recover, and an insult offered to France and England which in other times would not have been borne—at least here.— Morning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Two gentlemen, who are connected with the Taunton Bank, applied to the LORD MAYOR for a warrant to search a lodging-house in Ironmonger lane, Cheapside, in con,equenee of a very serious robbery which had been committed there between Sunday night and Monday morning last. The cir cumstances, which are of a mysterious character, are as follow :—The proprietors of the Taunton Bank are in the habit of sending up to London cash and bills to a considerable amount, and the person usually employed in conveying such property to its destination is a respectable tradesman of Taunton, who secures himself against coach-robbers by stitch ing the bundle in the pocket of his coat, which he never takes off until he arrives in town. He had on this last journey to London adopted the same pre caution, and upon reaching town he went, at be tween eight and nine o'clock on Sunday night, to the lodging-house of Mrs. Andrews, Nos. 22 and 23, Ironmonger-lane, where he had been in the habit of sleeping. At nine o'clock, after having taken a glass of ale and some tea, he returned to his sleeping room, and, as he was accustomed to do, put all his clothes under his head. Bein g greatly fatigued he soon fell asleep, and upon awaking, he found that, instead of being under his head, his clothes were on the chair next the bed. This alarmed him, but upon examining his coat he saw that his parcel was stitched up in the pocket. He then concluded that all was right, and that he must in a dream have dis turbed his clothes. However, upon putting his hand into his breeches'-pocket, he felt that his purse, in which he had the night before deposited four sovereigns, contained only one. Again he was em barrassed ; for the bundle which he had received from the Taunton Bankers' contained between 5001. sad 6001. in bank -notes, and between 4,0001. and 5,0001. in bills. The secret was disclosed upon his cutting open the pocket, for although he found all the acceptances in their proper place, all the cash had been removed. The thief must have found the tradesman in a very deep sleep indeed, for the clothes eAdd not have been removed without disturbing an ordinary sleeper, and some time must have been occupied i►► unpacking the parcel, repacking it, and sew►ng up the pocket afresh, after the money had been sepa rated from the bills. The LORD MAYOR expresed surprise at the strange circumstances of the robbery, and asked whether the tradesman bad not locked the door, or whether any person slept in the same room ? To this it was replied there was no lock to the &or, and that although there was a bolt it would not shoot, and other fastening there was none. The LORD MAYOR said the sleep of the trades man must have been intense, or he would have felt his clothes going from under him. It was here stated that the tradesman was rather deaf; so that between that defect and the excesive fatigue it was no wonder that his sleep was like that of death. The LORD MAYOR ordered that Mr. Cope, the Marshal, and another officer, should go to the lodging-house in Ironmonger-lane, and execute a search warrant there. This was done without de lay, but without effect. Mr. Cope mentioned to the Lord Mayor that he had, as he expected would be the case, found no thing like a clue to the property. Ile had ques tioned the proprietor and servants, but they ap peared to be completely ignorant as to the person ‘vho might have committed the robbery, or the means by which it could have been effected. Upon inquiring into the character of the house, the Mar shal had learned that other robberies had been com mitted there. One gentleman had been plundered there a short time ago of 105 sovereigns, which were cut from his valise. The Lulu) MAYOR asked whether the people of of the house seemed to be aware of such practices ? Mr. Cope said that they could not deny that rob beries had been complained of as having been com mitted there. _ _ His LonDstuP hoped, that for the sake of the public, the circumstances of this very extraordinary robbery would be publicly mentioned. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday. a young man, fashionably dressed, muffled tip in a cloak, was brought up in custody from St. Martin's watch-house, charged with steal ing a tortoiseshell snuff-box, the property of a gen tleman, from the lodgings of Isabella Beaumont, of No. 49, Holywell-street, Vauxhall-road, Westmin ster. The prisoner gave his name and address, Mr. William Edwards, No. 1, Wimpole-street, Caven dish-square. Isabella Beaumont stated that about three weeks ago she accidentally met the prisoner, who accom panied her home, and remained all night; he break fasted with her the next morning, and as he was going away he said he had no money about him, but he would leave his silver snuff-box, and call in the course of the day and give her two sovereigns. He had not been gone many minutes before she missed out of one of her drawers tortoiseshell snuff box, which had been given to her to take care of by a gentleman who was at present in Paris. The snuff-box he left with her turned out not to be silver, but only Britannia metal. No other person could have taken the snuff-box, as no ene else had been in the room. She showed it to him on the previous evening, and he took a pinch of snuff out of it. She saw no more of the prisoner until last night, when she met him in the saloon at the Haymarket Theatre, and she gave him in charge to the constable in attendance. The metal snuff-box was handed to Mr. WHITE. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he met Miss Beaumont in Regent-street, some few weeks ago, as she had stated, and accompanied her home. He should allow that he had not acted in a very gentlemanly manner in leaving the metal snuff-box fora silver one. He had certainly seen the tortoise shell-box, but solemnly declared he never took it. He met the complainant twice since be was at her i i 9gand nodded to her; an d h e a l so gave h er his name e and address, and she addressed him by his name in the saloon. The complainant denied this statement. Mr. WHITE ordered the prisoner to be remanded for further examination, and directed the officer to make strict inquiry about the snuff-box. UNION.HALL. The example set by the new police in scouring the streets west of Temple-bar of the disorderly prostitutes with which they were nightly infested, to t h e great annoyance of the public, has had the effect of giving a stimulus to the exertions of some of the old police at this side of the water, and yes terday morninga batch of thirteen of the frail sister hood was brought up in custody, followed by a mob of at least 100 perm - , , .. The two constables 1111 V attend the Coburg Theatre stated that the portico in front of the house, horn the moment it opens, is constantly infested with prostitutes, who not only conduct themselves with the greatest levity, but arc also iu the habit of using language of such a description as to shock the ears of all decent people. The officers then. said that two of the County Magistrates who had re cently visited the theatre complained of the nuisance in question, and directed them to apprehend the women who were chiefly conspicuous for being riotous and disorderly. Mr. CHAMBERS took great pains in the investiga tion of each case, and the defendants proved to have been prominent for riotous and disorderly conduct he committed for one month each to Brixton, antl the remaining four out of the above number he dis charged, with an admonition,.that in future, if they should congregate together under the portico of the Coburg, to the great annoyance of the persons at tending the theatre, they might expect to share the fate of their unfortunate companions. On the preceding evening, between seven and eight o'clock, as John Sweet, one of the new po licemen, was returning home to the Kent-road, atter his day's duty was over, in pas.ing the Elephant and Castle he saw two men, dressed as sailors, sur rounded by a mob of the go-cart men and other va gabonds who constantly lurk about that place. The policeman hearing the two men whom he supposed to be sailors quarrelling about a sum of money, which one accused the other of stealing from him, he (tho policeman) immediately interfered, when one of them, named Hitson, alleged that he had been robbed of 101. by a man named James, in whose possession money nearly amounting to that sum was found. On discovery of the money by the policeman, the mob, which, as we observed before, chiefly consisted of cads and go-cart men, wanted to prevail upon him to share the money between the contending parties, and suffer them to proceed about their busi ness. Ile was averse, however, to act under such advice, :nal took the two men off to the watch house, where he lodged them for the night, and kept the money in his possession until the matter was explained before a Magistrate. Yesterday the whole of the parties were in attendance, and the policeman having described the circumstances under which he locked them up, the Magistrate said that he had acted perfectly right, otherwise, in all pro bability, the money he had taken care of would have been plundered from those who had the con tention about it. On investigating the circumstances at this office, it came out that the two men were both discharged convicts, and had arrived at the Elephant and Castle on the preceding evening, from Portsmouth together, having each 101. on their departure from that sea-port. On the road, where the coach stopped, it appeared they had both drank freely, and on being set down at the Elephant and Castle, one of them, named Ritson, discovered that the whole of his money was gone. On the discovery he accused the other of robbing him, and the alter cation that ensued between them soon drew an assemblage about them. In the course of the in quiry, however, it was ascertained that amongst the money Ritson had lost was a 5/. note. When the policeman searched the person accused of the rob bery nothing but sovereigns were found in his pos session; and it also appearing that it was impos sible he could have converted the note into smaller money on the road, Mr. CHAMBERS discharged the accused, and directed the money found upon him to be delivered to him again. The Magistrate extolled the conduct of the new police-man for his activity on the occasion. A Mr. IVbeckr, who described himself a gun maker, was charged with disorderly conduct that morning, and seizing the rattle belonging to an aged and infirm watchman. The watchman, who described himself 78 years of age, stated, that about three o'clock that morning, while on duty in the Waterloo-road, he heard a none at Mr. Blanchard's shop-door, and on going up to see what was the matter, he found that the door was burst in. He immediately laid hold of the per son whom he suspected shoved in the door; upon which the defendant stepped up and said, " That is not the person who did it, for lam the man." The watchman then added, that in asking the defendant whether he meant to rob the house, the latter seized him by the collar; and when he attempted to spring his rattle for further assistance, the defend ant twisted it out of his hand and broke the handle of it. The Magistrate could not help expressing some mil raise at seeing so aged a man engaged as nightly guardian of people's property ; it was quite time he should resign the situation, and if he had acted with fidelity and honesty in his situation, the parish au thorities should not forget his services. In reply to the above charge, the defendant said, that he was in the habit of calling at Blanchard's shop frequently for cigars, and on this occasion he gave the door a push, conceiving they were all up, when the watchman came over and branded him with the disgraceful epithet of house-breaker, upon which he (defendant) could not help expressing his indigna tion, and at the moment he was seized hold of by his assailant, and in the struggle the rattle was broken. Mr. CHAMBERS said, that it was impossible the defendant could have supposed the tobacco-shop was open at three o'clock in the morning, and as an as sault was sworn against him he should pay a fine of 20s. and costs. ADMINISTERING NARCOTIC DRUGS, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ROBBERY. Yesterday Mary Long, a middle-aged female, of a repulsive countenance, together with her three daughters, Margaret, Jane, and Elizabeth, were finally examined at Lambeth -street office, before M. WYATT and T. WALKER, Esqrs., on a charge of administering narcotic drugs to seamen, and plunder ing them while under their influence. Charles Dempsey stated that on that day week, he, accompanied by two of his ship -mates, went to the hous,o of the prisoners. One of his companions sent out for some gin; and after his drinking a por tion of it he became quite stupitied, in which state he saw the younger prisoner, Elizabeth, put her hand into his small-clothes pocket, and rob him of all the silver it contained, as also a silk pocket-hand kerchief. He distinctly saw her take chum both ; but such was the powerless state to which he was reduced, that though he saw her he could not pre vent her. Charles Hill, another seaman, deposed that he went with the last witness on the day before men tioned to the house of the prisoners. On entering it they were at dinner, of which they asked him to , partake; but he declined, and went t o the Mercers' Arms and purchased a pint of gin. On bringing it in he saw one of the prisoners p our something into it which completely discoloured it ; and, after drink ing two or three glasses, he became so insensible that he reeled about, and k nocked his head a g ain st a table, by which it was cut. He then fell asleep, and on his awaking found that he had been robbed of about 245. Mr. WYATT—Did you not perceive somethin g peculiar in the flavour of this gin ? Witness—l did, Sir; and suspecting that something was the matter, I marked one of the half-crowns before I went to sleep, which, if I saw now, I co u ld swear to; but it is gone along with the rest. When lie awoke, finding that the envie of his money was stolen, he asked the elder prisoner to lend him a half-crown, which she agreed to on his leaving her his jacket, quantityulgen,t de a r it f o t h e te after bt c ho o at n tt s l e i i dtleelr. could compositionuil .c) Charles Howell, late a headborough of Stepney, but at pre-sent of the new police, repeated his state ment f prisoners, the f former r nub m .gpu e btt r oahsan d aordt ' s y ss i oe maamhsl he t vi o difi one his going to the house c a h ed state t h e o of house, s ti e p , e afancd oombfesntthrtuction, a sailor named Freeman, who, with the ithhttniiaeevodnoounn. been oaslvt pgiovproduced, c witnesses,etodthem, , f t o abi u ne n i d ns eg i a t ra i h remnant of a spiri tuous m sol i fi x s t tp t he ir ee e t not be submitted to the test of ari aualysis. He 1 made inquiries at Mr. Petre's, a surgeon in t he neighbourhood, arid he told him that his shoproe n confessed, that from two to three pennyworth of laudanum was obtained daily at his shop, and con 'eyed to the house of the prisoners. It genera was purchased by a young man, at present in 05: 6 Hospital, and, since his illness, by an Irish girl. L' l T' Petre promised him that his assistants should be i" attendance, and give evidence of the fact. /. 4 reply to questions of the Magistrates, H ow ell sai d that the house of the prisoners was a notorielic brothel, and, to his' knowledge, the scene of r e peated robberies. John Craig', an apprentice to Mr. Petre next witness), on being asked if he was in the 11, 0 1 of selling laudanum to any of the prisoners, reP lie : in the negative ; adding, that it used to be obtainv by a young man in a sailor's dress, whom he did ee l know to have any connection with the prisoners. Prendergast and Howell, in contradiction to this testimony, distinctly asserted that this witness se' knowledged to them that the laudanum was Boor I times purchased by one of the prisoners, and 0.13 , 4 i always taken to their house, and that it was W t " much trouble that they (the officers) could get hi ° to come forward. The NIAGISTRATES observed, that they did • 1 1 doubt the fact of his knowing the parties, and pos e : some marked observation: , on his (Craigy's) condo e " Howell here stated, that while in conversati on with fir. Petre, he mentioned a conversation ern very suspicious nature, which occurred at the hous e of a Mrs. Cocklcarnc, who kept a lodging-house fn t sailors, not many weeks past. About two mont h 4 • since, he was called aeon to remove a sailor from this person's house to the London Hospital. 0 going there, he found him in a state of deep 'tur f . , —his mouth foaming violently, his eyes fixed es 7 glazed, and with all the external indications of hi / haring taken something prisonou.. lie procured coach, and conveyed him to the institution, w here , after lingerin g , e• for some time, he expired. Ile unde r stood him tohave been a man of some property,l o • was unable to ascertain whether such was the eel or nor, owing to his extreme insensibility. Ho we ' concluded this narrative by saying, that Mr. Per ° agreed in opinion with him, thas the business W ell dark and mysterious, and required investigation. Mr. Isaacs, at the close of the examination, ise l • that the charge against his clients originated et tircly in the jealousy of Gent, a rival lodging.holl e r, keeper, and denied that the house was a broth!' adding, that it WAS kept alone for the accommi tion of sailors. Mr. WYATT—In other words, it is a crimpi‘ house. Mr. Imacs—No, Sir, it's a lodging-house. Mr. WYATT—That's a distinction without a d i ' fercuce. Howell again came forward, and said that th, e youn g prisoners were in the habit of standing the door and inveigling persons into the house. fact, they had solicited himself before they kat" who he was. Mr. Isaacs here made some observations on th e conduct of Howell, but they were put a stop toll the Magistrates, who said that his conduct was ( 1 . e . 1 serving of every merit; and after a lengthened 117, irregular conversation, they held all the prisou v ,i to bail to answer any charge that might be prefer re against them at the Sessions, at the same time t e# l , quiring them to give 21 hours' notice of the 0° 0( vency of their bondsmen. This course, instead ...4 sending them to Newpte, was considered the on eligible, it being probable, that if put upon OA trial fur the robbery they would have been squill"' in consequence of the condition in which the pro' , tutors were at the time of its perpetration. BOMBAY PAPERS. Accounts from the south-east frontier, we uncle _ stand, have been received, confirmatory of the melanel lo7 intelligence mentioned in our last. The apprehension we then expressed respecting the let s of Lieutenant Burlton, we lament to say, has proved W' well-founded. Rajah Tecrut Singh, after the massacre at Nunelow't! which between thirty and forty men were killed, ineludiol two unfortunate Eaglish gentlemen, moved southward' perhaps, with the hope of overpowering the Politic' Agent. Whatever his further designs might have he ee they were however completely frustrated by the prolvE , operations of the Political Agent, who, calling in O F aid of the Sylhet Light Infantry Battalion, directed Cap Lister, commanding that corps, to proceed against the surgents. Accordingly, that officer being instructed, that": Rajah, with a cousiderable body of followers, had taken or a position in the strong fortified village of Moomlee, th ree miles from Churra-Poongee, lost no time in proceedingr i : attack the place; and a -communication, dated the I% instatit Mates, that after some resistance, the place taken by storm, when several of the Rajah's party Wt . , killed, but be himself made his escape, being favoured v i the thickness of the jungles. A communication of the 15th instant, from Mam lo mentions that intelligence having been received that tl O Rajah, or some of his adherents, was at Ly-Runchoo , place situated on a mountain, about 3,000 feet high, a separated from Mambo by an extensive valley, Captail l Liver made arrangements for moving on the place. From the difficulties of the road, and the ease which many parts of it might have been defended, it O s " considered advisable to attempt taking the place by 6 "! "- prise. At midnight, th ere f ore , on th e 14th, COW Lister, with a party of one hundred Sepoys, marched eel s eretly for Ly Runchoo during a storm of rain. A hi ttl a before day-break he reached the place, which he W l ' , evacuated, and destroyed it; and after giving. his party • few hours rest returned to Mamloo.

LIVERPOOL, NOV. 14.—We have had a very good demand for cotton again to-day, and the sales amount to upwards of 2,500 bags, of which about 1,300 were Brazils. • CORN-EXCHANGE, LIVERPOOL, Nov. 14. We had but a thin attendance at this day's market ; but the prices of last Tuesday were fully supported for every article in the trade. Such has been the glut of herrings that they have been retailed in the streets at a farthing a-piece. TIC DOLOREUX.--A lady, some time since, when suffering severely under the above complaint, acci dentally saw a statement in a newspaper, that snuff and Peruvian bark mixed together, in the proportions of two thirds of the former and one-third of the latter, and taken as snuff usually is, had been successfully used for the relief of the sufferer. She was induced to try the effect, and happily obtained complete relief. One of her servants having recently experienced the same malady, she recom mended to her the adoption of the same remedy, and in her case also entire relief ha 4 been the consequence. She, therefore, makes this known for the benefit of all whom it may concern. Mr. CROCKER, who has been, for more than half a century, connected with the Board of Works, and, consequently, much engaged about St. Janies's Palace, has retired from his office, entitled-to nearly, if not quite, his full salary, by way of pension for length of service in a Go vernment department. His successor is not yet appointed; but some one not now in the department has been men tioned as likely to succeed Mr. CROCKER-an intimation that has created some dissatisfaction amongst those who have calculated that seniority, length of service, or merits, gave claims strltnger than those possessed by persons who knew nothing of the sunshine of the office. The following lines were written by WALTER SCOTT when be was between ten and eleven years of age, and while he was attending the High School, Edinburgh. His master there had spoken of him as a remarkably stupid boy, and his mother with grief acknowledged that he had spoken truly. She saw him one morning in the midst of a tremendous thunder storm standing still in the street and looking at the sky. She called to him repeatedly, but he remained looking upwards withsut taking the least no tice of her. When he returned into the house she was very much displeased with him. "Mother," he said, "I could tell you the reason why I stood still, and why I looked at the sky, if you would only give me a pencil." She gave him one and in less thin five minutes he laid a bit of paper on her lap with these words written on it:— " Loud o'er my head what awful thunders roll, What vivid lightnings flash ft om pole to pole, It is thy voice, my God, that bids them fly, Thy voice directs them through the vaulted sky. Then let the good thy mighty power revere, Let harden'd sinners thy just judgments fear." The old lady repeated them to me berself, and the tears were in her eyes: for I really believe, simple as they are, that she values these lines, being the first effusion of her son's genius, snore than any later beauties which have so charmed all tl:e world besides.—Extract from an Origi nal Letter.

On Saturday night an inquest was holden at the Queen's Landing public-house, Wapping-wall, be fore Mr. JOHN UNWIN, jun., who acted as Coroner in the absence of his father, on the remains of Miss Emily Harwood, au interesting young woman,seven teen years of age, who committed suicide on Friday last, by swallowing a quantity of arsenic while under the influence of disappointed hopes. The corpse of the ill-fated girl lay in a sleeping room at her father's, to which the Jury repaired to view it; and though the changes that death had effected on it, and the violent action of the corrosive mineral she had taken, it still preserved sufficient to indicate that she had once been beautiful. Her hair, which was raven black, bad partially fallen off, and its contrast to the skin, which was of a marble whiteness, drew forth several observations from the Jury. James Harwood, the father of the deceased, on Friday went, as washis usual custom,to call his daugh ter. On going into her room he perceived a quantity of white powder lying about the place,and discovered a tea-cup with a spoon in it lying underneath the bed. He became alarmed, and said to her," Emily, my dear, have you taken any thing ; i s not t hi s an emetic ?" She answered that she bad not taken an emetic, and appeared to be in the great est pa i n . He immediatery sent fora surgeon, who attended in the course of a few minutes. Mr. UNWIS—Do you know of her having formed an attachment to any person, and her being dis►p pointed in a return of her affection ? Witness—l do not. There was a young man who has just gone MOST SINGULAR CASE OF SUICIDE.-At eleven o'clock on Saturday an Inquest was held at the Orange Tree public-house, Isleworth, on Mrs. Charlotte Collins, aged 70. • The deceased was a woman of most peculiar habits -but of a cheerful disposition► until within the last fort night, when a general change in her behaviour took place, the cause of which she did not attempt to conceal. Although horn and residing at Isleworth, she had never, up to that time, visited London, to which place she bore an unaccountable antipathy. She had never been in a Court of Justice, civil or criminal, or before a Magistrate, and considered making an affidavit highly improper, founding her position on the text " Swear not at all." Some considerable time ago, under peculiar circumstances, she became, as a matter of form, witness to the signing of a will, by which considerable property had been appropriated to charitable purposes. This instrument, it appears, became disputed, and subse quent litigation commenced. The week before last deceased received a citation to attend Doctors' Commons, and give evidence on the subject. This greatly distressed her, and it was with considerable difficulty she was sufficiently calmed to pet form what was required of her. She returned as speedily as possible, but very much depressed in spirits at hav ing been obliged to undergo a long examination on oath, but was partially quieted by an assurance that she would not again be wanted. Her usual compo. sure was returning gradually, when, on Thursday, a second notice arrived, announcing tie necessity of heragain attending on astated day. This appears to have completely overcome her, and during the re mainder of the day she was gloomy and restless, and repeatedly said she could not go again. At night she retired to bed as usual, but not being seen the next morning by her neighbours, search was made, and the unfortunate old lady was found suspended by the neck from the tester of her bed, and quite dead. She had effected her purpose with a child's skipping rope fastened with several knots. The Coroner and Jury concurred in opinion that the case was most extraordinary; and under all the circumstances, a verdict of " temporary Derange ment" was returned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. On Saturday Mr. Jonathan Henry Wilson, and his brother, Mr. William August us Wilson, both of Tooting, Surrey, were brought before Mr. HALLS, .the - sitting Magistrate, and Mr. RoIIINSON and Mr. BAKER, Magistrates for Middlesex, charged with having wilfully ridden over Henry Carlo, one of the toll-takers at the horse gate of Waterloo-bridge, on the morning of Saturday the 7th instant., whereby the life of that person was placed in imminent haz ard. Some of the members of the Waterloo-bridge Committee, and Mr. Powell, the secretary, were in attendance, and the room in which the examina tion took place was crowded to excess. It will be recollected that at the first examination Mr. Jonathan Henry Wilson was not in custody. On Thursday last he voluntarily surrendered him self to Mr. HALLS, by whom he was committed to the House of Correction, Clerkenwell, where his brother was confined. Mrs. Mary Kirby was a widow, and resided at No. 2, Webber-street, Lambeth. At one o'clock in the morning in question, she was standing at the toll-gate on the Surrey side of the bridge, when the accident occurred. She heard the watchman call out to shut the gate, and saw Carlo attempt to do so, but the two gentlemen who were riding furi ously came upon him so suddenly that he had no time to close the gate. He was knocked down and ridden over. The horses were head to head as close as they could be. One of the gentlemen was without a hat. By Mr. Powell—ln the hurry of the moment, I did not observe which of the gentlemen was first, but I think it was he who had no bat. By Mr. FALLS--The gentleman without his hat was next to the paved place from which Carlo had come to shut the gate. By Mr. Powell—Both gentlemen after passing the gate rode away as fast as possible, without mak ing any attempt to stop their horses, but they rather strove to urge them on. A baker, named Smith, stated, that he was about 20 or 30 yards' distant from the gate at the Surrey side of the bridge when the accident happened. He heard a tremendous galloping, and presently saw two gentlemen riding from the bridge. One of the gen tlemen endeavoured to pull up, saying, " It's all wrong; I have lost my hat." This person (Mr. William Augustus Wilson) was a little in advance of the other. Witness heard a cry of help at the gate, but did not see the prisoners pass through it. Thomas Scriven, hostler at the Wheat Sheaf, Tooting, was acquainted with the prisoners, both of whom were now present. On the Saturday morn ing in question, at a few minutes after two o'clock, the prisoners came to the stable-yard, and he (wit ness) took their horses from them. They seemed both very sober and steady. Mr. William Augus tus said that he had lost his hat, and that his horse had run away with him. Mr. Powell here intimated to the Magistrate that he did not think it necessary to call any other witnesses. Mr. Freshfield, jun., observed, that he understood a witness was present, who was on the bridge at the time in question, and he supposed that Mr. Powell would not object to calling him. Mr. Powell had taken the greatest pains to ascer tain the names of the individuals who - were present or near at hand wlien the melanch o ly transaction occurred. He knew nothing of the witness re ferred to, and therefore should not call him. Mr. Freshfield, jun., remarked, that any indivi dual whose evidence was likely to throw a light upon the transaction ought to be brought forward in Jus tice to' his unfortunate clients. Mr. Powell—'Then call him yourself. Mr. Freshfield—l beg to say, that I know nothing whatever of the person whose evidence I wish to be taken. I have had no communication with him previous to my coining here, and never saw him until to-day, A young man, who said his name was Benjamin Clithero, and t h at h e li ve d at N o . 23, Webber street, Lambeth, then came forward, and being examined by Mr. Freshfield, deposed, that he w as on the centre of t h e b r id ge at one o'clock on Sa. Mr. HALLS did not think it at all necessary to do so. There was sufficient evidence to prove that the prisoners lashed their horses both on the bridge and when they cleared the gate. Mr. Powell then handed to the Magistrate the certificate of surgeons Calloway and Handy, wlt) ; had seen Carlo at two o'clock on that day. The certificate announced that they (the surgeons) felt great pleasure in stating that Carlo was considerably better, and added a hope of his ultimate recovery, although he was not yet free from danger. -Me cok cussion of the brain still continued-, Mr. HALLS having read the certificate, said that until the surgeons certified that the wounded man was free from danger, he could not think of accept ing bail. Mr. Freshfield, jun. said he had hoped that bail would be accepted under all the circumstances of the case. Bail of the most respectable description, and to any amount, was ready to be offered. The prisoners were then ordered to be remanded until Wednesday next, with an understanding, how ever, that if the wounded man were pronounced out of danger in the interim, they might apply to be released o' bail. At a late hour on Saturday evening a man named John Davis, and a well-looking young Jewess, with an infant at her breast, who gave the name of Hannah Allen, were charged with feloniously re ceiving 120 dozen of gloves which had been stolen from the premises of Mr. William Towns, of No. 26, Fleet-street, in the night of the 21st of Octo ber last. The prisoners were brought to the office in custody of Ruthven and Ellis, two of the princi pal officers. The former apprehended Davis at No. 14, Belton -street, Long-acre; and Ellis took the female prisoner into custody at No. 20, Little White . Lion-street. They found a great quantity of silks and ribands at the houses of both pri soners, and had reason to believe that they had all been stolen. Tpey were remanded to next Wednesday, when the prosecutor is to be in attendance. HATTON.GARDEN. A plan of a novel and masterly nature has been lately contrived, by accomplished thieves, to intro duce themselves into the houses of respectable fa milies, and to lull suspicion while the amplest and most favourable opportunities are afforded them of carrying their designs with very little trouble, and with scarcely a possibility of preventing them, into execution. The following case, which was brought before the sitting Magistrates, Mr. LAING and Mr. Serjeant SELLON, at this office on Saturday, will fully develope the plan, prevent perhaps its further exten sion, and be the means of .preserving, as well from the ,hands of. tive"taidslight murderer as the,tlqef,. the lives and properq . Of -many,.for both are equally risked and exposed to sacrifice. A woman of the name of Wood, whose son keeps a marine-shop in Charles -street, Hatton-garden, was placed at the bar, on a charge of receiving. a dozen of wine-glasses, half a dozen of large drink ing glasses, and two water-bottles, the property of Miss Morris, of No. 14, Brunswick-square, know ing them to be stolen. Miss Morris's servant, a middle-aged female, came forward, and stated that about a fortnight ago, a man wearing the exterior of an upper servant, and representing himself as the butler and steward of Sir Robes t Vaughan, a Welch Baronet, called on Miss Morris, aisd stated to her that he wanted to engage a furnished house in London for the residence of his master and family during the winter season, and, as her's was in a very desirable situation and to be let, if she woull approve of accommodating so respect able a family, he knew Sir Robert would feel highly gratified. For this purpose he had, he said, been sent up to London preparatory to his master and family leaving home, and he expected their ar rival at one of the principal hotels in the course of a few days, but must in the mean time have a private house ready for their reception. Miss Morris, sus pecting no evil design to be at the bottom of this plausible tale,told by an individual who had all the appearance of being the very character he assumed, believed his statement, and agreed with him to let the house at the rate of eight guineas a-week. Then came out the proposition to her of the object at which alone the fellow aimed, and it was this—that he should obtain an immediate footing in, and have free access to, the house during the interval of his master's absence, and while waiting his ar rival in town. He induced Miss Morris to believe that he was not prepared to take lodgings for him self, and prevailed upon her with consummate art- to accommodate him Hitt' a sleeping room. The ne cessary arrangements were accordingly made, and he slept for several nights in the house, although Miss Morris and the witness were the only inmates besides himself; but on Thursday week he ab sconded, and it was th2n ascertained that the fellow was no other than a thief, for the articles above specified were immediately missed, and there was the most satisfactory evidence to prove that it was impossible they could hitve been taken away _by other hands than his. Miss Morris, however, con sidered herself exceedingly fortunate to have been delivered front so imminent a danger with so incon siderable a loss, particularly when she reflected that her life and the quantity of valuable property she had in the house were completely at the mercy of a ruffian. Witness made inquiry after the glasses, &c., arid with a great deal of difficulty at length succeeded in tracin g four of them, which she pro duced and identifie d, in the possession of the pri soner, who acknowledged that she bad purchased them of a matt answering the description of the thief. Witness got a police-constable, and gave the pi isoner in charge. Mr. LAING immediately despatched Hall the officer to search the prisoner's shop for the remainder of the glasses, &c., and in a few minutes the officer returned with the exact number which Miss Morris had lost. The prisoner had given 12s. for the whole to a man who represented himself to be a respectable housekeeper, but reduced to the necessity of parting with them. She believed them to be his own pro perty, and had no suspicion of their having beet, stolen. The glasses were delivered to the servant, and the prisoner was discharged upon entering into a re cognizance to appear, if called upon at any future time, to givcrevidence in the case. The thief was described to be a tall man, of a dark complexion, and pitted with the mall-pox;s and the, police-constable stated, that some time ago he had succeeded, by a similar contrivance, in robbing the house of a gentleman at the west end of a great dual of valuable property. These despatches come down to the date of tl;(. 10th of September. They were brought to tlie Havannah by a frigate from Tampico, detached from the Spanish . squadron. General Barradas resumes his narrative from the 27th of July, when the expe dition landed. After the troopi had disembarked, they were allowed to repose till they had been put in order, after which they marched towards Tam pico, and suffered much on the road by the great heat. Barradas had an interview with the Mexican commander, Garza, the same who formerly arrested the Emperor hut bide. I3arradas made very &tter ing proposals to Garza to draw him over to his party, but in vain, and they parted as enemies. No Mexican troops appearing to oppose the expedition, it marched without any precaution, as if it had been in a friendly country, when a small corps of ;Mex ican troops, which had lain in ambush with two, pieces of artillery, and had suffered the Spaniards to approach within half pistol-shot, suddenly made a discharge of musketry and artillery, loaded with grape-shot, which killed or wounded 93 soldiers and 10 officers; the vanguard was thrown into die drder, but the. corps which followed advanced in trepidly; the Mexicans were obliged to retire, and the Spanish army continued its march to Tampico without any, other disaster. The Mexicans retiring into the interior of the . country have destroyed all kinds of- provisions, and even set fire to the villages, so that the country can not afford the army any kind of resources. The villages which have not been burnt are ab.ardoned. In one of these villages nobody was found but a : priest, and in another a Portuguese. Not a single Mexican soldier has joined the many of Barradas, and the inhabitants retire from it. In ,this situation, he has thought it advisable to fortify himself at rine pie° till he receives reinforcements from the Havan- iah. He asks'for absit4ance the more urgently, as the fortifications whit!) he has erected at Tampico are not very important, became he has not brought any officers of engineers with him. Such is 11,e substance of the despatches of General Barradag, though he has endeavoured to represent his sitna— tion less ditfieult than it really is. 'When the packet-boat which has brought this news left the Havanna!), the mission which our Go vernment has intrusted to Major-Genera! John Jo-' seph San Llorente was not knowa there; but if we are not misinformed, this General is to take the command of a corps which is to go from the Ha-, vannah to Tampico, and when it arrives there he will take command of the whole Royalist army in. Mexico, for the King has been made sensible that. Barradas is not fit for a command of this nature. General Barradas has with him a Monk, named the Rev. Father JacquesMiehael Bringas, Avho, ;11 his character of sub-vicar of the vanguard of the Royal army, has addressed the following pastoral letter to the inhabitants of Mexico:— " To our very dear brethren the faithful inhabitants of New Spain, health and peace in our Lord Jesus • Christ. " Misfortunes and our sins have precipitated you, my dear brethren, into the abyss of misfortunes, which you experience since, like stray sheep, aban doning your royal shepherd, you have been led into the crooked path, which you have followed for these eight years, shutting your ears to the voice of your Monarch. 1, your countryman, son of St. Francis, an imitator of his poverty, without ever desiring the perishable treasures of the earth,—l cannot be suspected by you; and I hope that the prayers which I have constantly addressed to God for your happiness, and for the salvation of your souls, will be heard. • " Do • not lose a single moment ; present your selves with confidence to General Don I s id ore Bar radas, Commander of the vanguard, who, authorised by your august and ancient Monarch, comes with the olive-branch in his hind to offer you peace,, and to restore to you the happiness which you have lost. Formerly you were all happy, and you enjoyed the good things of this earth with the certain hope, that in the other life heaven will be the reward of your virtue; but since the spirit of impiety has defiled your soil, you have not had a moment's repose; war, pestilence, robbery, and murder, and all the plagues which have established themselves in modern Egypt, have been the punishment which the Saviour of mankind has inflicted upon you. God is great and merciful, and is among us : his spirit has heard the prayers which I have continually addressed for you. Have confidence in me, and return to the bosom of peace, under the protection of the best of Monarchs, Don Ferdinand VII., who will receive you as a tender mother receives in her aims a beloved son. (Signed) " The Rev. Father J. M. BRINGAS." A report is spread in our capital, that it is in. , tended to choose, by drawing lots, some regiments of infantry to be sent to Mexico, and that the King will soon issue a Decree for a ballot to complete the army. We learn from Grenada, that in the night of the 19th three shocks of an earthquake were felt there.

B.—A report of Prince De m“rius Ypsilanti to the President of Greece, dated from the camp at Kotumala, 28th September, and inserted in the Egina Gazette, says : " A Turkish corps of 7,000 men (regular and ir regular troops) had made, subsequently to the 22d of September, several desperate attacks on the Prince's troops in their fortified camp near the Fort Castello de Petra, but were always repulsed with considerable loss. The Greeks pursued the enemy in their flight, which they made in great disorder; • the Turkish Commanders collected the - garrisons which they still bad in Livadia, and at length a ca pitulation was agreed upon, by which those Com manders, Azak, Aga, and Assan Bey, engaged to retire to Thessaly, and entirely to evacuate Livadia. The Egina Gazette contains the capitulation, and adds that, had it not been concluded, all the Turks must have perished, either by the sword of the Greeks or by famine." FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, OCT. 27.—Letters from Constantinople say, that traces of a secret society have again been discovered, which aimed at an over throw of the Government, but that the persons chiefly implicated had saved themselves, and even secured their property. It is said, that on this oc casion, several distinguished Mussulmans and Greeks had united, and deliberated on the easiest manner of getting rid of the Sultan without causing a civil war. The chief part in this conspiracy is said to have been performed by a Greek of distinction, who had long been employed in diplomatic affairs, and was to accompany halal Pacha on his Embassy to St. Petersburg!), as his Secretary. lie suddenly dis appeared without any known cause; it is said to have been since discovered that, after sending his family to a place of safety, he had absconded with 60,000 Spanish piastres, which were . delivered to him to defray the expenses of Hald's journey to St. Petersburg!). Immediately after his flight the first Secretary of the Defterdar and several other persons disappeared, nor is it known whither they are gone. The loss of 60,000 piastres is very severe on the Porte at this moment. It is reported that affrays, attended with bloodshed, hav e aga i n ta k en p l ace in t' Bosnia ; great fears are entertained for the tranquil lity of that province.

It was acted at Covent-garden, for the benefit of Mrs. 'WELLS, with complete success. We believe the tragedy of Wetter, by the same author, had been previously peforined at B After The Dramatist, REYNOLDS annually, fur upwards of a quarter of a century, produced a new comedy, and with equal success.

BARZELOTTI and ROSINI, two eminent Pro fessors of Anatomy in the University of Pisa, are preparing to publish in this country 44 splendid plates of the natural size of the adult, in which every organ of the human body will be most accurately represented.

FIRE AT SLOUGH.—Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, we have stopped the press while we took post to Slough, to ascertain the extent of a fire re ported to have broken out there, at the White Hart Inn, kept by Mr. LuFF•. It appears it originated in tl:e ihling, at about eight o'clock—how is not known. The flames burst suddenly forth from the left wing with amazing fury. The alarm was given, and in a very few moments numbers were on the spot to render assistance.— The first objects of attention were the horses, the number of which in danger was upwards of 50. The halters were cut, :.nd the animals were driven off the premises, whence, such was the confusion, they were allowed to take their several ways up or down the road, or over the neighbouring fields. The full number lost cannot be as certained: hut three at least are known to have suffered. The fire was seen gradually to involve them, and from the snornsnt the flames commenced the work of their destruc tion, until they sunk subdued by the raging element, apir desperate plunges and piercing shrieks afforded terrific evidence of the tot ments they endured. Of the exertions made we ca:mot speak .too highly ; there were double rows of long lines formed, and hundreds of hands em ployed in passing onwards hundreds of water buckets.— We are happy to learn that Mr. Lon- is insured. The stages to and from London are of course obliged to con tinue their journey without changing horses. Number less sets of harness have been consumed.— Winds. Ex. „IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE.-At the public dinner in celebration of the opening of the Leeds Com mercial Buildings, Mr. GERVASE WALKER, one of the Trustees of the Leeds White Cloth Hall, took occasion to say, ” that an improvement bad already taken place in trade, and that he expected a still further improvement." 710., accuracy of this observation having been publicly called in question, and Mr. \VALKER having been referred to the state of his own district in refutation of his remarks, that gentlemac has called upon us to request that we will say, on his behalf, that his observations on the above occasion were made after due reflection, and that further inquiry has :silty confirmed their truth. He wishes us also to add, that if the state of the clothing district, which he repre sents, as Trustee, may be taken as a proof the general Mate of trade, it establishes instead of refuting his observation ; for though, three months ago, a considerable number of persons of the working classes were unemployed, there at the present time, scarcely an individual in the neigh bourhood, of sober and induslious habits, without full work. Mr. \VaLKeR did not wish to represent that there was existing any great degree of prosperity in trade ; he meaut only to assert, that after a severe depression a re vival hail taken place, which he and every friend in his country must wish to see still further extended. The do niestie clothiers, who have suffered for many years from the extensive use of machinery in large manufactories are., be has reason to hupe, at present rising superior to their difficulties, and that valuable body of men, with good ma nagement, And with the economical advantages of their country situations, are likely again to hold a respectable station in the :manufacturing districts of Yorkshire. The improvement, Mr. WALKER observes, is not confined to the woollen cloth trade. but has extended to the woollen yarn also, and the manufacturere in that line in Horbury and the neighbourhood, are more actively employed at this time than usual in executing orders for the hosiers.— Leeds Mercury. D O NERAILECONSPIRACY.-JOHNLEARY, flee fanner, lately sentenced to death, as being implicated in this conspiracy at Cork, has just memorialized the Duke of Notarnumaximaxn for a tree pardon on the score of having had perjured witnesses brought forward against him, as also of not having had a fair trial. The following is one of his complaints on this head.—" Your memori alist aboweth that, up to the moment of his arraignment, he had no means of ascertaining to what facts, times, or circumstances, the witnesses against him intended to de pose ; that they had never been examined in his presence, nor he in theirs; that neither he nor any person employed or interested for bins had ever seen any informations sworn against him, or knew the precise nature of the charge; and that All he ever heard of the charge was, that lie was neused of A conspiracy to murder the gentlemen above anenai.oned (Ad f x'yal Evaees arid others,) and that he had uaza eiagaged in that conspiracy at the fair of llathcare. That it was obviously i4.4possible for him to he prepared with any testimony to contradict the accusation, and that, notwithstanding the utmost dilgkace on the part of his agents to procure such information as might guide them in arranging a case for his defence, he was obliged to stand his trial with no other means of establlshing his innocence than those which might arise from the impeachment of the characters of his accusers, or from the chance that they might contradict themselves or each other in the story which they fabricated f,r his ruin. That their story was most artfully weaved ; that they took care in the course of their testimony to avoid, in a great degree, corning into collision as to any specific facts ; and that, from what af terwards transpired, your memorialist most humbly sub mits it to be manifest upon the face of their testimony, that at some time past they must have concerted against your memorialist such a scheme of evidence as, by being directed to different times and places, might present the appearance of probability, and escape contradiction. That an the only instance in which SHEEHAN and NowLaN earns into collision in their testiumoy, they most positively contradicted each other." LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1829. The KING will remove from his Cottage in Windsor-park to the Castle, which is now ready for his reception, about the middle of next week, where it is expected his MAJESTY will reside during the winter. The despatches brought to the Foreign Office on Friday night from Lord HEYTESBURY, our Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, we understand do not contain any intelligence of importance.— With the exception of despatches from Paris, there are no arrivals this morning. The following are extracts from the French Papers of Saturday, received this morning by express : (From the Messager des Chambres, Second Edition.) BUCHAREST, OCT. 23. General Zrltujeliin, President of the Divan, died sud denly, on the night of the 22d, of a bilious fever. General Kisselew, who was before appointed his successor, has this moment received his appointment. It was not till yester day that we were informed of the exchange of the ratifica tions, and that orders were immediately given to cease hos tilities at all points. Ghiurgevo will be immediately eva cuated, and the Principalities will be occupied according to the stipulations of the treaty. Meantime the ravages of the plague continue, nearly thirty persons die daily ; but the winter begins to be felt, and the cold weather may per haps prove salutary. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, OCT. 29. Letters from Adrianople say, that Count Diebitsch has ordered:General Krassowsky to be ready to attack the Pacha of Scutari if be does not obey the Sultan's orders, and re spect the treaty of peace. The Pacha appears to have been informed of this intention of the Russian General, for since that time he has been inactive with his AlbanianA, who, it is even said, have fallen back to Sophia, while the Pacha remains at Phillippoli with a small number of troops, intending to take possession of Adrianople as soon as the Russians leave it. It is affirmed that the Porte has reallyordered the Pacha of Scutari to take possession of Adrianople; for it appears from a letter transmitted by the Ottoman illinister to Count Diebitsch, in which the Porte endeavours to excuse the Pacha of Scutari, that his march to Philippoli was caused by his being appointed to take the government of Adrianople after the departure of the Russian army. At this news the principal inhabitants of Adrianople sent a deputation to the Russian General, requesting his interven tion to obtain another Pacha instead of the Pacha of Scu tari, who is generally feared for his cruelty. It is not known whether the General will comply with this request, but several respectable families, both llahnmetan and Christian, are preparing to leave the city with the Russian army. It is also observed that the Russian troops are taking certain steps, which indicate that no great confidence is placed in the pacific intentions of the Pacha of Scutari, who will doubtless be punishediy he should be guilty of any treachery towards the Russians. Count Diebitsch seems to be meal e of his character, and to distrust him. PARIS STOCK EXCHANGE, Nov. 14.—Five per Cents., 10Sf.

HAGUE, NOV. IS. In the sitting of the Second Chamber yesterday, a pe tition was presented from the well known French writer, L. H. Fenton, dated .Ulsusn, in Hanover, complaining of the treatment he has experienced. The President pro posed to refer it to the Committee of petitions. AI. Van Rienen doubted whether this petition ought to be referred to the Committee, as the fundamental law gave the right of petitioning only to inhabitants of the kingdom. M. de Brouchere announced, that it was for the Committee to make such observations ; and M. C. Hon said, that even petitions not signed had been referred to the Commit tee. The President then repeated his proposal, which was adopted. Two lists have been sent by Government to all the members of the States-General, of the number of ships that cleared inwards and outwards in all the ports of the king dom in 1828. he number of vessels that have cleared inwards was 6,453, the burden of which, was 723,439 tons, of which 1,031 containing 68,613 tons, were in ballast. The number that cleared outwards was 4,628, burden 480,502 tons, of which 2,971, of 315,108 tons, in ballast. The Rev. Mr. Vandervelde, Bishop of Ghent, arrived here yesterday. He will very shortly take the oath to his Majesty. ANCONA, OCT. 26. Great exertions are now making in Greece to secure to Count Capo d'lstria his office of President of the Go vernment, and several agents are employed with this view both in the interior of the country and at the Courts of the peat Powers. The President knows very well that a cabal is at work to remove him from Greece, and to give to another the fruit of the seed which he has cultivated with so much pains; but he also knows the sentiments of his countrymen, who would reluctantly obey a stranger. He therefore does not much fear their intrigues, but ne glects nothing to biffie them, and, by a prudent admini stration of the Government; to secure to his nation fur ther prosperity. Me seems in fact already to have received assurances of the continuance of his functions from several great Courts, which will shortly appoint their representatives to the Greek Government. The following communication has been re ceived this morning from our Paris correspondent: " rants, Nov. 14. " It is stated in private letters from Constantinople, that at a late sitting of the Divan the Sultan had himself proposed an immediate convocation of the Pachas, Beg lerbeys, Ayans, and other notables of the empire, for the purpose of examining into the financial condition of the provinces, in order, no doubt, to provide the means of satisfying the demands of Russia. To this effect couriers had been despatched in all directions. Messengers had also been sent to the Deys of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, apparently to ask for money. It appears that great exer tions are making at Constantinople for the re-establish ment of the Turkish navy, on the footing it occupied be fore the untoward affair of Navarin. The Porte is said to have applied to the English Government for naval officers and master-builders to assiat the Turks in their efforts, and it is added that the application has been ac ceded to, a number of individuals being already on their way from England to Constantinople. " In the Courrier de Bayonne I observe an article, which states, on the authority of letters from Lisbon of the 28th of October, that it is the general belief in the Portuguese capital that at this season of the year, and with the few forces employed against it, the blockade of Terceira is utterly ineffectual. It is stated as well known, that vessels of all nations had entered and sailed from Angra without being searched or molested. On board the Don John the Sixth, lately arrived at Lisbon, was the Chief of a Miguelite Guerilla party, which bad made its appearance at Terceira, but had been dispersed by the Constitutionalists. The Chief, whose name is Almeida, succeeded in escaping the pursuit of the police of the island, and in embarking on hoard of a fishing-smack, in which he passed to St. Michael's, and came from thence to Por tugal. The French sloop of war La Pomone, then in the Tagus, had just received orders to sail for Rochfort, where she is to be dismantled. " A letter from Bologna of the 30th ult. says, that the severe maasures adopted at Rome against the Carbonari had been imitated in that city,whcn two of them had lately been executed, and numerous arrests were daily taking place en the slightest grounds of suspicion. " The public prints and private letters from the Spanish capital are chiefly occupied with the magnificent prepara tions for the reception of their future Queen, and the cere mony of the Royal marriage. Among the presents in tended for her Majesty on the occasion of her nuptials, there is, I observe, a pianoforte from London. A number of horses for the al stud are also on their way from England. The Aviso de Mediterrannee announces the departure of the brig L'ilocniure from Toulon for the Levant, with despatches fur Admiral de Rigny, and a considerable quan- tity of specie. " The Procureur du Roi has written, it seems, within these few days to the British Consul at Boulogne-sur-Mer, to beg of him to use his influence with the English resi dents in that neighbourhood, to induce them to desist from indulging in sporting excursions on grounds over which they had not the permission of the proprietor. This authoritative interference has arisen, it appears, from a recent complaint of a fresh violation of the right of pro perty,-committed at Wacquinghen, near Boulogne, on the 28th ult., by a party of sportsmen, wlo had hunted a bagged fox without the leave of the whole of the proprietors. " The new Prefect of the department of the Mouths of the Rhone, M. de Jacques, in his anxiety to restrain the efforts of the provincial press within his jurisdiction, seems himself to have transgressed the letter of the exist ing law, which says, that at the moment of publication the proprietor or responsible editor of a newspaper shall deposit a copy of it, signed by him, at the office of the Procureur du Itoi, or, where there is no such tribunal, at the office of the Mayor of the district. The new Prefect requires that two copies ;le deposited at the office of the Prefecture within the ordinary hours of business, which he states are from ten o'clock till four, which would thus limit the publication of newspapers to the hours thus spe cified, and so create considerable inconvenience. It is pro bable, however, that the authorities in Paris will correct the excessive zeal of their provincial functionary as they have lately done in an instance of another description but of a much more serious nature. An application was lately made to the Council of State to authorise the prose cution of the Mayor of a district in the neighbourhood of Bordeaux for having suffered a criminal charge to pass un noticed, on the parties implicated consenting to grant him a promissory note for 250 francs. After the note was signed this application was preferred by one of the parties for leave to prosecute the Mayor for peculation ; but the most extraordinary part of the proceeding seems to be the interference of the part of the Prefect, who urged that the authority to prosecute should be refused, on account of the frequ fey of the practice; and gravely contended that it should be permitted, as, without the perquisites arising from the compounding of offences, the officers of justice would not be suitably remunerated. " A daring robbery was committed the night before last, by a person, said to be an Englishman, in the celebrated gaming-house in the Rue Richelieu, known by the name of Frascati's. The criminal had frequented the house for several evenings before, and seizing a favourable oppor tunity snatched up a bundle of Bank notes amounting in value to 20,000 francs, with which he immediately jumped out of one of the windows overlooking the Boulevards. In consequence of the cry which was immediately raised, he was almost instantly arrested, but he must have had an expert accomplice, us on examining his person the money was not forthcoming." The dinner given to Sir EDWARD KNATCH BULL by the Kent No-Popery Party is an affair of no importance in itself,and is, indeed, hardly worth notice, were it not for the proof it afforded of the continued sorene , s felt by the Ultra Tories at the great measure of last Session. It would be absurd to suppose that the drivellings of Lords WINCHILSEA and GUILFORD, and a few country Squires, represent the general sentiments of the county of Kent, any more than they do those of the people of England. But the men who talk the greatest nonsense are seldom re luctant to exhibit their oratorical abilities on that account; and wo presume Lord WINCHELSEA, beginning to repent of the vow he made last put to retire trom pub= nte, In tne uegraueu state of religion and morals amongst us, thought the pretence of a dinner to the County Member a good opportunity to let the country know he had not actually put on the Hermit's cowl, as is insinuated in a sketch of his Lordship which we perceive in the shop windows. From the specimen delivered at Maidstone, we fear the state of his Lordship's mind is a shade worse than formerly, particularly when we observe his recommendation of Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL to the continuect'confidence of his constituents, on the ground of " his unshaken attachment to and intimate knowledge of our late Constitu tion." It matters little whether our " glorious ConsLitution," as spoken of, be really deceased or not ; Lord WINCHELSEA may have it as he pleases ; but it seems mightily odd to recom mend a Member of Parliament for his attach ment to, and knowledge of institutions, that are passed away, instead of those that exist. 'With politicians like Dr. SOUTHEY and Lord ELDON, who fancy themselves living in past times, thi s may do very well, but the men wanted in Parlia ment are those who understand and appreciate the spirit of the present times—who know what the Laws and Liberties of England really are, and on what their perpetuation depends, and who will endeavour not to drag us back to the ignorance and intolerance of our forefathers, but to confer on us some of the many social amelio rations of which we still have so much need. The Earl of GUILFORD, a Nobleman who, although in his twofold character of Priest and Legislator, he may be a fit personification of that union of Church and State which the Brunswickers have ever in their mouths, yet is generally supposed to be, if any thing, sillier than Lord WINCHELSEA, had, it seems, the wit to refrain from exposing himself on this occasion. The pompous and empty tirade he delivered last Session in the House of Lords, his Lord ship has, however, taken care to have printed and circulated among his tenants, who, we ima gine, would have received, with much greater satisfaction, a mitigation of their rents, the scale of which is said not to be the most moderate in the county. In the Tory landlords we do not always see that consideration of their tenants which professions might lead us to infer, and of this Newark is not the only proof. If landed proprietors were really solicitous for the welfare of the persons from whom they draw their resources, they would make less fuss about Ithe danger of the Church and State, and take more pains to place themselves on an amicable and kindly footing with their dependents. All that Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL and his aristocratical friends may advise or menace, will not, we venture to say, make the Govern ment swerve an inch from the line of policy to wards Ireland, the commencement of which has signalized the Duke Of WELLINGTON'S civil career. His Grace is too strong in the confi dence of his master and of the country to be in timidated by a faction from pursuing the plans his own plain sense may lead him to adopt, whether for Ireland or any other part of the kingdom. The Ultra-Tories would therefore be more prudent to keep quiet, than to draw on themselves general derision for the spleen and mortification they seem unable to refrain from exhibiting. It is at length finally and irrevocably deter mined that the Kixo does not go to Brighton this year . The reasons for this change of intention are not known ; but it is surmised that while the political state of the country, giving rise almost daily to Cabinet Councils, is partly the cause, private grounds and private influence have had also somewhat to do with it.-21forniv Ad vertiser. It is hardly fair, although it may not be dis advantageous, to contrast the Juliet of Miss FANNY KE3IBLF. with the performance of the same character by Miss 0 NEILL.

The alterations and reform in the Liturgy o f the Church has, it is said, been recommended to the Bench of Bishops fom the highest quarter. Some years luck a Correspondent of this Journal, who happened to be in the Royal Chapel at Brighton, when the Creed of St. Atha nasitts was pronounced by Dr. CA RR, stated, "although his MAJESTY was uniform in his responses during the other portions of the Liturgy, he observed a profound si lence while the Clergyman pronounced " Athanasius's Creed." --Morning Paper. A learned Dean has proved that flattery, even to Princes, may be carried too far. This ardent Clergy man was, fur a length of time, Chaplain to the Highest Personage ; during whose residence iu the Marine Palace he regularly officiated in the Royal Chapel on a Sunday. His sermons were most fervent—most or thodox—and most courteous. Their adulatory character, however, failed to be acceptable in the Highest Quarter ; and the first fa vourable opportunity for a removal was embraced—not to the Episcopal Bench, as was expected, but to the cloister of one of the most tasteful and elegant cathedrals in the country, where the worthy Dean " rests in quiet."— Morning Paper.

CATHOLIC BISH OP OF WATERFORD.—On Wednesday the parish priests of the diocese assembled, for the purpose of electing a new Bi.hop, and our readers will be happy to hear that the election has been unanimous in favour of the Very Rtv. aietor FoRAN, Vicar Capitular. This decision will be forwarded to Rome, for the approval o f t h e Holy See (which, where the clergy are unanimous, is generally a matter of course)—but as the proceedings of t h e Holy See are generally very cautious and deliberate, t he reply and consequent consecration may not take place probably for three months.— Waterford Chronicle.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwEEra o' CLoer. Mauritius Papers to the 9th August have been received at the North and South American Coffee house; they contain a Proclamation stating that for some time past the fortifications have been neglected throughout the island, since which they have sus taii;ed additional injury by unknown persons remov ing the hewn stones, timber, turf, &c., in conse quence of which a large breach has been made in the lines of Port Louis, and the public are seriously cautioned against the repetition of such offences in futt.re. Accounts from Barcelona of the 3d inst. state that the frigate Amelia, of 40 guns, has arrived in the above port from Naples, on board of which is the suite of the Princess of Naples, a regiment of Infantry, and a corps of Cannoneers of the Royal Guard, left for the French frontiers, to receive the Princess Marie Christiana and her august parents. Accounts from Lisbon state that the corvette Cybele has arrived in the Tagus from Madeira in twelve days, the news she brings has not transpired, but it appears that some ships are going to sail to reinforce the blockade of Terceira. Accounts from Toulon, of the Gth of November, state that the Conquerant, Trident, and the Breslau, are expected at Toulon. They are ordered to bring back the troops from the Morea. The fortresses will be given over to the Greeks, and there will only remain in the Levant two frigates, one of which will be stationed at Alexandria, with 12 smaller vessels, amongst which will be a corvette and four brigs of the Gist class.

The above somewhat corresponds with the account from Madrid in the French Papers this morning. Letters from Montevideo state, that a complete revolution tunongst the Ministry took place there on the 24th August. The Inspector-General Ribeiro, after having made friends with General Lavalleja, forced General Bontleau, the Governor, to turn out all the Ministers; after which he appointed himself Minister, and, it is supposed that he aims at being made President.

There has been some change in the silk gauze fabrics of late, but there cannot be said to be any increase in the number of weavers employed in that line. The Thibet shawls are considera bly flatter than they were about a month back; but no diminution in the number of hands employed at them has as yet taken place.— Glasgow Chronicle. A melancholy suicide was committed this morning at the foot of Drygate-street.

A little before etht, a neighbour on going in found her sus pended by a cord from a nail above the window. She had been some time hanging, as the body on being cut down was found quite cold. She was accused by a neigh bour on Wednesday of stealing a couple of candlesticks, and was threatened with the police-office, which had such an effect upon her mind, that she was observed yesterday to be in a state of dejection bordering on derangement. The deceased was 18 years of age, bore a respectable cha racter, and is described as having been always of a cheer , ful dispositioth— Glasgow Chronicle, COURT OF CHANCERY. DUNN V. DUNN. • The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment to the follnlP ing effect :—ln this case a bill was filed by a gentionel living at Hereford, as the next friend of the plaintiff; er another bill was filed by the Rev. Mr. Rodner, as the next friend of the parties in the suit. Those causes wer e referred to the Master for the purpose of his deci ding) which of the two cases it would be most for the benefit o f the infants should he proceeded with. The Master decided ill favour of Mr. Rodner's bill. The grounds on which lie decided were grounds that could not be impeached—l mean the general grounds. Mr. Rodner was a very near relation ; the gentleman at Hereford was distantly related. 1 11.1. ' Rodner was on the spot ; the other party was at a distanc e ', The frame of Mr. Refiner's suit was more advantag eet l e' for discussing the general questions that were to be agi tated than the other bill. Shortly before the Master made his report, and whe n there was every reason to believe that the parties knell pretty well what his decision -would be, another bil l was prepared and filed in the name of Goldecotet as the next friend of the infants. Application was made to take that bill off the file; and I believe an order h a been obtained for the purpose of referring that cause to the Master to enquire whether it would be most to the :given; tage of the infants that it or that Mr. Rodner's bill shoule proceed. I have read the affidavits with great attendee', and it is impossible to look at them without being 'sti r fled that Mr. Goldecote is identified with Mr. Bie l° , (the solicitor), and also with the widow. Therefe_re I think it would be disadvantageous and mischiev ous the interests of the infants if this bill were to be Bals a " • toted for Mr. Rodner's. I think there is sufficient in the" affidavits to authorise me to believe there is a strong eee'' nection between the widow and Mr. Finns, and that M' Goldecote's bill was filed for the mere purpose of defeating the Master's decision. Though it is said Mr. Goldecote Wass friend of the deceased, yet he is no relation, and Mr. Reb e l is the uncle of the infants. Under these circumstance , have no hesitation in declaring that Mr. Rodner's suit Li the one that must be gone on with. There was a g oa: deal of evidence brought forward to show that Mr. Rod ner had conducted himself harshly towards the de-. cea,sed Major Dunn. There was a great deal of coo' fficting testimony upon this point ; and I think t t was admitted in the arguments th it there was so noel' contrariety of the evidence here, that no decision could bt come to upon it. As far as lam able, however, to focal an opinion, particularly from the letters and norresP°ll- dence, which speak for themselves, I do n ot see 101 thing in the evidence to justify that itnpu tation the character of Mr. Rodner; and it appests o, me that I shall best consult the inter ests the parties, by directing Mr. Refiner to carry on t he suit, as I ant sure it will be carrie d on accurate!! and properly by him with re s p ect to all parties. The nex t question is one of considerable importance , an d ref re' to the costs. Ido not think tha t the petitio n present'-d, me, to dismiss Mr. Goldecote's hill , should have be en p re' rented as I think the question might have been amp l y inveg',• tigated before the Master, who had all the facts before • consequently I shall not give the costs of that petit ion. The prayer relates to the discharge of two orders, referring th e causes to the Master. Those orders it was necessary discharge. It referred also to an order of reference t e , appoint guardians. That order should also be disc har g e"' as the appointment of guardians would have to take Plays under Mr. Rodner's bill, and a proper maintenance dire.f . t .; ed. Another question regarded the filing of a bil l s e w' Mr. John Rodner, for the purpose appointing a receiver; the prayer there was that the bill might be ordered to i l '? taken oft the file, and that the.party filing it might be " h e , rected to pay the costs. This petition was presented"' Mr. Goldecote, as the next friend of the heir-at-l ese ' The proceedings under that bill I confess were, ee peered to me, irregular and not justifiable. The filing, the bill, in fact, was a mere trick for the purpose del a receiver appointed ; and if the conduct of the P ara concerned in the filing of it was merely to he atten dee I should have no hesitation in directing it to be tsske ll ; to the file at once, but as I see no advantage to be de rived the infant by snaking such an order, I shall be eee te : c with decreeing that the parties filing it shall pay all expences incident to it. There must be a receiver pointed of the personal as well as of the real estate• think no person, unless wry well acquainted with the Pr o f ceedings of this Court, could look at the great numbe r bills and petitions that have been filed in this cause, 5,.; the immense expence that has been incurred by refereeTi and so on, without being shocked, and considering it ow terrible!

An execution was subsequently issued out against Woodward, who was sent to prison, for 40 days, and when he was discharged, instead of re ceiving the usual allowance of 2d. per day, as the prison allowance, he received only ld. per day. He swore that he verily believ e d the slid Mr. Farren, although he did Sot sit as Commissioner on that day, yet that he used an improper influence over Lis brother Commissioner, who, the complainant believes, was actuated by the improper motiv e he had alluded to. Lord TENTERDEN considered that it was a mistake of the la's', and no criminal information could issue for a mistake, unless a corrupt motive appeared by circum stances to have influenced the Commissioners. The com plainant here stated that such was his opinion, but that Was not enough ; it must be clearly shown before an in formation could issue. This is not the first time the Commissioners had refused to recognise the orders of the Insolvent Debtors' Court ; but lie (Lord T.) did not know why they did so, as there must be something in the Act to warrant that refusal, which he could not find. They were certainly bound to recognise them, and he hoped that this public announcement would correct suck mis takes in future. Mr. Justice Pam: said that he had heard of other Com- Misaioners in the same part of the country pursuing the same course ; but they were hound to receive this sort of defence as much as any other.--Rule refused. • COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

There was a moderate arrival of Wheat last week, but •abundance of Batley, and a gad supit'sy of - Oats and Flour. This morning there is a small fresh supply of nearly all descriptions of Corn. The few good samples! of Wheat that appeared went off readily at a trifling im provement in value, but other kinds meet only a moderate demand at last quotations. Barley of fair quality has sold rather mare freely than on Friday, and maintains the terms of last Monday, but middling and ordinary parcels are Is. to 2s. ler quarter lower. Beans and Pease both fully maintain their late quotations. Good Oats sell on the same terms as this day se'nnight, but for other qualities less prices must he taken to make sales.

The 65th Light Infantry will return to Cork in the transpot is which conveyed out the 24th. This happy intelligence dissipates the alarm entertained for the latter regiment. The 66th regiment were inspected on the plains of Abra ham by Sir James Kempt, on the 3d October, and the 68th Regiment were inspected on the Bth, prior to their embarkation.

The Court-martial was attended by the com manding, and several other officers of the 61st depot, stationed at Ballinrobe. The result has not yet transpired. The Court-martial on Lieut. Hely, 7th Dragoon Guards, at Ipswich, concluded on Wednesday, when the President and members transmitted their decision to the Horse Guards. The charges were, for contracting a debt of 38/. with the mess:non of the regiment, which was not paid, though frequently applied for—borrowing 101. of a waiter, 'Which he promised to pay, but neglected—giving various bills of exchange for money to Paymaster Serjeant Gauley, of the regiment, some of which were returned unpaid, there being no funds for the same—and finally, owing a sum of 741. to the Paymaster.

HUGH ELLIOTT. The further hearing of the case " Reviverkirk v. Reynolds," from Berbice, was re sumed. When this appeal was disposed of, ex-parte " Stewart v. White," from Lower Canada, was heard by their. Lox dships. The next appeal was one of considerable importance, of a mortgage on an estate in Demerara, of upwards of 100,0001., that of " Moliere v. Leach," from Demerara. Lord WYNFORD, on the part of their Lord ships, fixed the c'aim of the appellants at 77,0001. The last case, " Nicholls v. Le Gallais," from Jersey, was an appeal against payment of an attorney's bill for working out a case of bankruptcy, on the ground that he did not produce the items of his charge. The amount of the bill (751. 175.) was the same as that of an officer engaged in the same case, and it was argued by the respondent's Counsel, that it was an invariable rule in the island to allow the same fees to the attorney as to the officer in question ; and the courts in Jersey, by whom the pro ceedings had been confirmed, might be supposed to be competent to correct 'any surcharge. The judgments of these courts were, however, reversed by their Lordships, on the ground that the items in the bill ought undoubtedly to be inserted. Lord WYNFORD, in delivering judgment, also pointed out certain charges in the greffier's bill, for which there could not be any counterpart in the respond ent's bill, while, at the same time, the amount of the two bills was made to come directly to the same to a fraction. ' The whole of the cases set down for hearing having been disposed of, their Lordships adjourned at four o'clock.

I This eminent inlividual, late President of the United States, and ilt , 3 original framer of the celebrated Declaration of Itt;lependence which levelled the first blow at the supremacy of Eng land over America, appears—it we may form an opinion from the volumes before us—to have been a man eminently qualified for the task, if not of rousing his countrymen, at least of setting them to think, and as a necessary consequence, where not only their liberties but their very lives were at stake, to decide. Cool, calculating, and adventurous, fond of experiment, indefatigable in his attention to business, and what is of nearly equal importance, blessed with a frame and constitution . of iron, Mr. Jefferson early established an influence over the minds of his countrymen which he preserved unimpaired to the last moment of his very varied and patriarchal existence. Like the late Dr. Franklin, his genius seems to have been of the Utilitarian kind. He had little fancy, less imagination, no eloquence to animate his friends, nor sarcasm to daunt his foes ; but possessed instead, a wary practical good sense that never for an instant deserted him, mixed up with a restless activity of intellect—amounting at times to what we might call fidgetiness—that forbade him to know the luxury of repose. He talks indeed occasionally of his wish to retire from public into private life ; but a word—a request—even an indirect intimation from Washington, are quite sufficient to subdue his avowed (though probably discredited) inclinations on this head. In the present volumes he comes forward as the plain unadorned recorder of those stirring events that ushered in his country's regeneration. ii To history his work makes no pretensions, being nothing more than a dry journal of facts, valuable onlyto those who may desire to acquaint themselves with the causes and effects of one of the most momentous public events that ever occurred in any age or country. One thing, however, it possesses, which is both curious and instructive to the general reader, and that is the history of the Declaration of Independence in its progress through Congress, together with a detail of the alterations and erasures that from time to time were made in it, in order to adapt it to the taste and feelings of the Ame ricans. These alterations, it may be worth while to remark, were chiefly of a conciliatory nature, and clearly prove how stubborn, fixed, irrational, and ungenerous must have been that opposition, on the part of Lord North and his colleagues, which preferred an appeal to arms, where all might have been lost, to a conciliatory demeanour, where all might have been preserved. But the destinies of America were in higher hands than those of man, which prepared her for and sustained her during the struggle, and eventually worked out her freedom. Among the most interesting passages in Mr. Jefferson's Memoir, is his brief but succinct account of the causes that hastened forward the French Revo lution. He was in Paris at the time, an acute, practised, and interested observer of passing events, and must therefore be considered, despite his stern democratic tendencies, as first-rate au. thority on the subject : " Celebrated writers of France and England had already sketched good principles on the subject of Government; yet the American revolution seems first to have awakened the thinking part of the French nation in general from the ' sleep of despcfsm in which they were sunk. The officers, too, who had been to America, were mostly young men, less shackled by habit and prejudice, and more ready to assent to the suggestions of common sense, and feeling of common rights, tha❑ others. They came back with new ideas and impressions. The press, notwithstanding its shackles, began to disseminate them ; conversation as sumed new freedoms; politics became the theme of all societies, male and female, and a very extensive and zealous party was formed, which acquired the appella tion of the patriotic party, who, sensible of the abusive Government under which they lived, sighed for occa sions of reforming it. This party comprehended all the honesty of the kingdom, sufficiently at leisure to think; the men of letters, the easy burgeon, the young nobility, partly from reflection, partly from mode; for these senti ments became matter of mode, and as such, united most of the young women to the party. Happily for the nation, it happened, at the sante moment, that the dissipa tions of the Queen and Court, the abuses of the pen • sion-list, and dilapidations in the ad•ninistration of every branch of the finances, had exhausted the treasures and credit of the nation, insomuch that its most necessary fuuctions were paralyzed. To reform these abuses would have overset the Minister; to impose new taxes by the. authority of the King, was known to be impassible, from the determined opposition of the Parliameat to their en registry. No resource remained, then, hot to appeal to the nation. He advised, therefore, the call of an assembly of the most distinguished characters cf the nation, in hope that, by promises of various and valuable improve ments in the organization and regimen of the Govern ment, they would be induced to authorise new taxes, to contrcl the opposition of the Parliament, and to raise tine annual revenue to the level of the expenditure. An As sembly of Notables, therefore, about one hundred end fifty in number, mimed by the King, convened on the 22d of February. The Minister (Calenne) stated to them, that the annual excess of expenses beyond the revenue, when Louis XVI. came to the throne, was thirty-seven millions of livres; that four hundred and forty millions had been borrowed to re-establish the navy ; that the American war bad cost thorn fourteen hundred and forty millions (two hundred and fifty-six millions of dollars), and that the in terest of these sums, with other increased expenses, had added forty millions more to the annual defiait. (But a subsequent and more candid estimate made it fifty-six millions.) He proffered them an universal redresa of grievances, laid open those grievances fully, pointed out sound remedies, and, covering his canvass with objects of this magnitude, the deficit dwindled to a little accessory, scarcely attrrcting attention. The persons chosen were the most able and independent characters in the kingdom, and their support if it couhl be obtained, would be enough for him. They improved the occasion for redressing their grievances, and agreed that the public wants should be re lieved; but went into an examination of the causes of them. It was supposed that Calonne was conscious that his accounts could not bear examination; and it was said, and believed, that he asked of the King, to send four members to the Bastile, of whom the Marquis de la Fayette was one, to banish twenty others, and two of his Ministers. The King f•Jund it shorter to banish him. His successor went on in toll concert with the Assembly. lhe result was an augmentation of the revenue, a promise • of economies in its expenditure, of an annual settlement of 1 t he public accounts before a council, which the Comptrol- Ire, having been heretofore obliged to settle only with the King in person, of course never settled at all ; an acknow ledgment that the King could not lay a Lew tax, a re formation of the criminal laws, abolition of tertuee, eel)- ! pression of corvees, reformation of the gabelles, removal of the interior Custom-houses, free commerce of grain, in ternal and external, and the establishment of Provincial Assemblies; which, altogether, constituted a great mass of improvement in the condition of the nation." The second volume consists mainly of Mr. Jef.! ferson's correspondence with Adams, Washing ton, Franklin, and numerous other eminent in dividuals in Europe as well as in America; but as these letters refer for the most part to official facts and documents, whose interest has now in a great degree gone by, we 5!..a1l content our selves with stating that to the reader who wishes to perfect his acquaintance with the American revohltiOn, they w;il 1,.

It may be recollected that some time back a bill was filed in the Court of Chancel y by Capt. Garth, the allege!' natural son of General Garth by a lady of illustrious birth, for the recovery of a certain box of papers relating to his private history, which had got into the hands of Messrs. Paul, Snow, and Co., whom they had been deposited by Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. Charles Molloy Westmacott, the proprietor of the Age newspaper. The Lill set forth the circumstances under which this box was deposited in the hands of the parties in question, and at the time excited much inquiry, although the contents of the papers w: re kept a secret. Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. Westmacott have now filed their answers to the bill, and the case will, of course, in due time, come before the Lord Chancellor for adjudication. From the answers in question, it appears that the complainant, Captain Garth, had contrived to get possession of the box of papers alluded to from his father, who was highly indignant at the circumstance, especially as at that time he was labouring under indisposi tion ; that these papers contained doc uments an d correspondence touching the birth of the said Capt. Garth, the publication of which would have deeply wounded the feelings of certain high personages; and that with a view of obtaining money to relieve himseif from the embarrassments under which he laboured, the Captain threatened, and actually de termined, to give them publicity. For this pur -1 pose he applied to Mr. Westmacott, who, on ascer taining their character, thought it more advisable Ito adopt a different course, and having apprised Sir Herbert Taylor and Captain Garth of the objects of the gallant Captain, a negociation was com menced, with a view, on the part of Sir Herbert Taylor and _General Garth, of r ega i n i ng posses sion of the papers and destroying them. The ob ject of this negociation was of course to learn the terms upon which Captain Garth would consent to part with the papers ; and after repeated interviews between Sir H. Taylor, Charles F. Williams, (on the part of General Garth), and Mr. West macott, who acted as the authorised agent of Cap tain Garth, it was agreed to pay Captain Garth's debts, the amount of which he stated to be 8,0001., and to grant him an annuity of 2,4001. a-vear, half of which was guaranteed by Sir Herbert Tay lor, and the other half by Mr. Williams, on the part of General Garth. These preliminaries ad justed, the gallant Captain received 3,0001. in ad vance; and in November last delivered the myste rious box to Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. Westma cott, with a solemn pledge that it contained all the papers it was supposed originally to hold, and that nothing had been withheld, nor had copies or ex tracts been taken therefrom. The box was imme diately tied round with tape, and sealed with the seals of Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. Westmacott, and was by them deposited in the hands of Paul, Snow, and Co., the bankers, who gave a receipt for it, with an understanding that it was not to be re-delivered unless under the joint authority of the said Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. Westmacott. Mr. Westmacott was then desired to take steps to arrange Captain Garth's affairs, but that he found impossible; the Captain did not adhere to his old list of creditors, but incurred new debts, kept up a ruinous establishment at Mel ton, and, to crown all, divulged to divers persons the secrets of the box, added to which, it turned out that he had reserved copies of the contents of the papers. Still Sir Herbert and General Garth (his father) were willing to save him from destruction, and it was agreed to increase the sum for the liqui dation of his debts to ten thousand pounds, and his annuity to three thousand pounds per annum, upon condition that he retired to the Continent till his af fairs.were arranged; but he was deaf to every remon strance, persisted in his extravagant career, and thus rendered it impossible to effect the laudable objects which were in contemplation. As for the papers, it was at first denied that they were Capt. Garth's at all; next, that Mr. Westmacott had a lien upon them fur money advanced by him for Captain Garth : and lastly, that by his own breach of covenant he had forfeited all right to their restoration ; whereas, if he had complied with the wishes of those who had his interest at heart, all that had been promised would have been fully accomplished. No allusion is made to the nature of the papers in the box, and Sir Herbert Taylor disclaims all know ledge of their contents, but says that he believes their publication would be painful to the feelings of the party for whom he is interested. Prince LEOPOLD is still in Paris, but he is expected to leave on the 15th or 16th, so as to arrive in London by the 21st. He is accompanied by Sir ROBERT GARDINER, and it is said that the fair companion of his leisure hours at Claremont has also formed part of his tra velling suite. The movements of his Royal Highness since his arrival in Paris have caused some interest, as it has been reported that he is one of the candidates for the new throne which the allies propose to erect in Greece. The Prince himself ati,cts to laugh at the report, and to treat it with discredit; nevertheless many persons about the Court, who are considered to be well informed, declare that solve project of the kind is actually on foot, and that the Prince has had frequent interviews with the French Minister for Foreign Affairs on tl.e subject. It is not known hew far this may be true; but certainly he had had very frequent conferences with the KING and the Duke of ORLEANS, the I:tter of whom seems to be a sort of medium of communication between the Prince and the KING when they do nut correspond personally.— Court Journal. Lord HERTFORD is now on the eve of his departure for Italy, from whence he will return in June next, to his villa in the Regent's Park. His Lordship has invited a number of his immediate friends to accompany him on his tour, sufficient to fill three carriages; and as the party is to he entertained along the route with his Lordship's usual splendid hospitality, it should become a matter of careful avoidance to other travellers. Very few foreign inns can manage to feast and lodge more than one f•anily of this extensive and monopolising character; and Lord HEwrroftn's princely 1 abits are already too well known on tha Continent to admit of oompetition. Count MATUCEWITZ, the Russian Minis,. ter on a special mission to this country, left town on Sa turday, on his return to St. Petersburgh. Among those branches of our national indus try which may be said to have manifested a change for the better of late, the silk trade may be named, perhaps, with greater certainty than any other, although the rate of pros fit is low, and must necessarily continue so for a long time. A letter received this morning from 'Macclesfield by an eminent house in the silk trade, alluding to the sfilksthrow,ters of that place, Congleton, and the neighbourhood, where but recently the distress of the working classes was severe and general, says—" The throwsters are all so fully employ ~~ ',re advance." that it is scarcely possible to get any thing thrown handy a h n a d ve w r a e g a e s s on ra to th i e „ r :. on in all sl b l e its t h ! -neve, more or less, 2aufacture of silk is carried on ; and, to refer to a mor, dec ,; ( 6l becoming I d 'cg i a st ss r ec i a c i tl e' e :v here the ms proof that we are doing well in this branch ; it May be mentioned, that according to all account* te;;eived • lately from Lyons and other manufacturing, depots in France, the silk trade there is quite paralysed. Those places which it was predicted were to ruin the English artistn, and rise to prosperity upon his ruin, are in a state of extreme distress, and the local manufacturers now fitly- confess that they are beaten out of the market tly this country; that they ere not only unable to pay the protective duty cf 30 per cent., but that the t wemaini of 15 per cent, at teLleh the smuggler will undert!ke their introductina, equally disqualifies them from woe king to advantage as regards the supply of Eng land. In tips opinion of the persons who may be, presumed best informed of the state of the silk trade between the tench and us, a few fancy articles, forming a very small per ccnta e on the whole amount of our consumption, are all that they are now able to send us at a profit.--Afeen . ' Paper, OURNALS. Justice may be slow, even where sur rounded by difficulties and obstructions, it is for the most part sure. The celebrated Garth case has not been compromisd—it is still going on. The person whose name it hears, is determined, it seems, on making his antagonist bend to him, awl recovering his box of papers, , the mysterious.. awful, or, as the result may prove, the - damning papers, which a desperate einrt no doullt, will be made to destroy or suppress, that some colour may be given to the step in the transaction, viz., the maintaining solemnly that such papers exist not, and never have existed. • A bill was some time ago filed in the Court of Chancery by the individual whose reputed, or pretended, name is Garth, for the recovery of " a certain box of papers, which had got into the hands of Messrs. Paul, Snow, and Co., with whom they had been deposited by Sir Herbert Taylor and another person." We do not insinuate that there is, or ever has been, any connection between Sir Her bert and his co-trustee or co-agent on this occa sion, beyond that which has of necessity from the accident, independent of Sir Herbe:t own wishes or desires, which brought two per sonages so remote by station and history from each other, into a sort of technical proximity, as partners in the same un precedented and indeed revolting trust.— Sir Herbert and his colleague, by name West macott, have now filed their answers ; and front them it appears that the complainant had con trived to get surreptitiously from General Garth, his reputed father, the box of papers in question ; that these papers contained documents and cor respondence, touching the birth rf the said Captain Garth, the publication of which would have deeply wounded the feelings of certain high personages, and that to relieve himell from pe cuniary embarrassment, Garth threatened, and actually resolved, to publish them ! A negocia lion ensued, the object of which was on one side to recover and destroy the papers, and on the other to get the highest price for them. The public will judge of the flight entertained in some quarters lest these documents should be made public, by the sums which, on the ice of Sir Herbert Taylor's affidavit, he was authorized by the principals for whom he acted to guaran tee to Garth for their suppression. Sir 'Herbert did actually, on his own showing in the affidavits now inserted, offer Garth the payment of debts to the amount of 8,000/. ; and that he (Sir Herbert) and General Garth, between them, should obtain for him a pension of 2,4001. a year, or 3,000/. a year, f they could. Three thousand a year, and 8,000/. ! We wonder who the man might be whose " feelings" or " repu tation" could be wounded to the extent of suet' enormous sums, by the publication of papers re cording the birth and parentage of any person living. Circumstances of extraordinary guilt and disgrace must unavoidably be inferred as the grounds of such prodigal solicitude. However, the affidavits are worth reading. Garth, it seems, has attested copies of the papers, let what will become of the originals concealed in the box, 7imes. A good deal of misconception prevails with regard to what is meant by dissolving the Union between Great Britain and Ireland. Most of our contemporaries who have written on the subject, suppose that Mr. O'Connell means, by dissolving the Union, to separate Ireland from Britain. He means no such thing. In a sp eee l i delivered by him at the St. Peter's Orphan Charity Dinner, he thus expressed himself:— " As an Irishman, he felt that Irishmen of all sects and denominations were degraded in the degradation of their common country ; and he thanked his God, that he, at least, was not. of that abject temperament to submit to it without impatience.—(Loud cheers.) What people were ever well governed who did not govern themselves ? No man's private concerns were managed who did not attend to them him self, and national concerns and private afFairs were regulated upon similar principles.—(Hear, hear.) The total indifference of the linglis}l Legislature to Irish affairs was acknowledged Mr. Peel. So evident was it, that upon any Irish measure it was hardly practicable to pro, cure what was called a House. Indeed the English Parliament had in reality more than it could well do with its own affairs, to be com petent to theirs.—(Hear, hear.) The Eng lish people had no interest in having our hun dred Irish Members to help them to legislate. The English people were under no obligations to the Irish Members. There was not a gate Ministerial job—there was not a nor a wasteful expenditure—there was not an i n f r i nge . f.,1 violence upon fluister did not find meat upon liberty, nor an act the people, for which the in the Irish Members faithful and sub serv i en t abettors and partisans. It was the interest of England, as a nation, to have Ireland well go verned, and she could only he well governed by a domestic Parliament. With a good Govern ment, which Ireland has uot yet had, she would become a prosperous and rich nation, which she can never be without it—and if she were prosper.. sus, instead of being a burthen to England, she would be her best consumer, her faithful ally in war, and her usefid friend in peace.—(Cheers.)— It was the interest of England, therefore, to give Ireland her own Parliament ; but, what he thought of much more, it would he the interest of Ireland." In most of the countries of the Continent, the Government decides every thing. a road is to be made or bridge repaired, re presentations from the spot must he made to the central authority, and in due course of time the central authority either approves or disap proves of the proposition, No sort of Govern ment can well be worse than this. In this country again all is anomaly. There is - that may be done by individuals in improvement or alteration. Par' townships, form little rep , ' meat of Sairs cone , and county tots--• ..luell ale way of _.sties again, and -ones for the matiage the neighbourhood ; ..-sings arrange matters for a still ...cialibourhood. But then; again, we ...ve a Parliament, which not only regulates the affairs common to Britain and Ireland, and the dependencies in all parts of the globe, but arro-. gates to itself all manner of details respecting private property and local improvements. If A and B vish, under the pretext of improvement, to rob C and D, they give notice of a Bill in Parliament, and immediately a canvass com mences, with a view to try which party is most powerful in influencing Members of Parliament. Parliament does every thing, and does nothing of what it should do. It may be truly said, therefore, of the system of this country, that it comprehends much that is excellent, and much that is . detestable. When it was first proposed to unite England and Scotland, Fletcher, of Salton, opposed the measure on nearly the same principles which afterwards prevailed in the Fe deral Union of the United States, and which we conceive are productive or great advantage to thc-, Americans.

Were not this great country alreadt divided into States, that division must be made, that each might do for itself what concerns itself directly, and which it can so much better do than a distant authority. Every State again is divi ded into counties, each to take care of what lies within its local bounds; and each county again into townships, or wards, to manage minuter de tails; and every ward into farms, to be governed each by its individual proprietor. Were we di rected from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread. It is by this partition of cases, descending in gradation from general to particular, that the mass of human affairs may be best managed for the good and prosperity of all." Such is the beneficial effect of division for the management of local con cerns, that even under that feudal monster, the Germanic Empire, harassed as the people were with collisions of authority, and with tribunals of appeal, compared with the decisions of which those of our Court of Chancery are rapidity it self, the numbers of centres greatly promoted improvement ; and Germany, notwithstanding its inferiority to France in soil and climate, was always advantageously contrasted with it before the Revolution. Each little State, by having its attention confined to a small number of ob jects constantly under its view, was enabled to manage them in a different manner from that in which the distant provinces of a great empire are usually managed. We cannot help think ing that a distribution of administration is essentially called for in this immense empire.— There are certain matters that concern the whole, and again other matters which con cern only the different members. The old sys tem of England, in some measure, left local mat ters to each of the colonies and dependencies ; and to this circumstance we are no doubt indebted for the rapid improvement of them. The first great departure from this system was the Incor. porating Union with Scotland, which, as the two countries are geographically connected, and as Scotland was left to its own laws and institutions, was, perhaps, on the whole, productive of good. But the Incorporating Union with Ireland is of a different character, because it deprives a country with a population large enough to occupy a Le gislature with its concerns, of the share of at tention to which they are entitled. There can be no question that both England and Ireland have lost by this union, because the time wasted on Irish affairs is taken from the consideration of English affairs. There are questions connected with Ireland alone sufficient to engross Parlia ment for the next four years. The single ques tion, as to the best mode of providing for the superabundant population, whose competition for land, as a means of subsistence, keeps the coun try in a state of constant anarchy, is sufficient to occupy Parliament far a session at least. The English Members know nothing of Ireland, and they will not concern themselves with the ques tion ; but then, as there is but one threshing floor for the harvest of the whole of our posses sions, while the Irish Members have possession of it nothing else can be done. In the interim between the discussion of the affairs of Hin dostan—a most momentous question, coming on ; the -affairs of Ireland Upper and Lower Canada, the Capa of Good Hope, Australasia, and the superlineaeßce of the mode in which -- the Colonies, with separate tagislatures, gave. effect to the views of Parliament, as to the treat- silent of slaves, we shall have, by way of relief; the trivial matter of considering changes in our domestic laws, and our system of judicial admi nissrasion. With respect to Ireland in particular there can be no question, that with all tile faults of its Parliament, improvement proceeded more ,-,apidly tinder it than since the Union. But ilreland has never had fair play. It was kept in slavish dependence on this country till the ,American war, and measures dictated by the narrow views of particular classes in England were forced on the Irish Parliament, while time best laws of that Parliament were rejected here. After the armed Volunteers had conquered the independence of the Irish Parliament, its Con 54itution must have purified itself from time o b i a„Lis defects in it. All that was wanted was, that E ng land should abstain from interfering with the domestic ,airs of Ireland. The Catholics could only be kept clown by the aid of English men and English money ; and a Parliament chosen by all would have attended to the interests of ails But it is not enough to point out what is right ; the people must be prepared for the doctrine. Now we do not believe that time people of England are prepared for the views of Mr. O'Connell. The question involves, in some measure, the ascendancy of England, be cause any scheme corresponding to a federation, misapposes a representation of all the separate in sessasts. At present the local legislature of Eng land has a great majority in the decision of the affairs of the Empire.—Morning Chronicle. It is said that one of the next measures to be brought before Parliament will be a Bill for new modelling the Welch Courts, and increasing the number of Judges in Westminster Hall, and which measure, it is added, is expected to be come a law previous to the circuits ; but how this can be we do not see ; for considering that time spring circuits commence, in general, in time se.t week of March, and Parliament will not m. • to business, in all probability, till the procee.. , i second week: n February, there will he only passing. through three weeks for : lie mea s ure into consideration both Houses, without .ilking expf . eted from a the opposition which may 11 : if not the whole, of the Prins:Li:l ll V. To part be sure, a measure for increasing the nun;!ser of the Judges in the different Courts in Westmin ster Hall comes with a singular aspect al the very moment when a vacancy in one of the present number has been allowed to exist for four months, and up to the heart of the Term, and when the business of the Court of Exchequer is said to have devolved, upon one occasion, upon one Judge only. As far as Westminster Hall is concerned, the one thing wanted is not, we believe, so much an increase in the number of Judges, as a more equal distribution of their labours. One of the twelve Judges, it is well known, undergoes nearly, if not quite as much labour as the whole of the other eleven : and those of the King's Bench, generally, twice as much as the eight Judges of time other two Courts put together. But we do not say that on time circuits more Judges are required ; and, whether the Welch jurisdiction be merged in that of our other Courts or not, there can be little doubt but that both the- civil and criminal affairs of Wales ought to be confined to persons of higher professional attainment than Welch It is to b e h ope d, Judges have generally been. too, that in any reform of the Courts the great Criminal Court at the Old Bailey will not be overlooked ; and that we shall no longer witness the singular anomaly of the Corporation of London appointing Judges to try prisoners for offences not occurring within the City. These hints we throw out as not wholly unworthy, we trust, of consideration.—Morning Herald. In the last number of the Quarterly Review there is, in the shape of a review of some late publications on Turkey, a most unfavourable and exaggerated account of the Turkish. Government, and the Turkish people ; but at the same time some judicious observations on the treaty of Adrianople, and the settlement of the Greek question. We pass over the former, which con sists principally of extracts from the works al luded to ; but the latter furnishes too important a confirmation of the remarks which we have made, from time to time, upon the treaty, not to be transferred to our pages. . . "For _ the present, says the article, the fate of Turkey is in the hands of the Russian Autocrat, whose professions of moderation would seem to have been too confidently relied on by England, France, and Austria. The amount, however, of the indem nity, stipulated by Gen. Diebitsch, makes it clear enough that a pecuniary liquidation of the claim is out of the question—if, indeed, such liquidation was not the last thing the General's Government wished to obtain. The payment of the exorbitant demand is utterly impracticable—there is no Rothschild to advance money to the Turks, and the whole reve nue of three years would scarcely suffice to wipe out this heavy score. 4 ' But the indemnities required by the treaty are by no means the mist grievous and uoritalonable part of it. - The seventliarticle lays the foundation for a state of immediate and constant hostility. Its provisions are repugnant to the principle and prac tice of international law; in fact, they establish an imperium in imperio. By this article, Russian sub jects are to live, throughout the whole Ottoman empire, under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Mi nisters and Consuls of Russia. The Turkish Au thorities are to exercise no controul whatever over Russian merchants, seamen, ships, or merchan dise; they may ship, or transship, or land goods, without giving any notice to, tar less asking permis sion of, the local authorities; and, if any of the stipulations should be infringed, and the reclamation of the Russian Minister should not obtain a full and prompt satisfaction, the Sublime Porte recognises, before hand, the right in the Imperial Court of Russia to consider such an infraction an act of hos tility, and immediately to retaliate on the Ottoman empire.' This, we confess, does appear to us to be monstrous. By the established law of nations, the civilised Powers of Europe agree that their subjects residing in a foreign country shall be amenable to the laws of that country; but Russia exacts from her fallen enemy the degrading submission, that her subjects shall bid defiance to the laws and usages of the Ottoman State, and if interfered with, that im mediate retaliation shall follow. A Russian, for in stance, violates the sanctity of a Turkish harem, and gets a yatigan through his body; the Russian Mi nister is unable to obtain satisfaction, and an imme diate declaration of war ensues. This is certainly a pretty specimen of moderation.' " We pretend not to divine what steps the great Powers of Europe may judge it necessary to be taken on the present emergency ; but the aggran disement of the Russian dominions cannot, we should suppose, be contemplated with complacency. In casting an eye over the map of the Old World, and seeing how her territories stretched from the Frozen Ocean to the Mediterranean, with her broad shoulders resting on Europe and Asia, and her gigantic body pushing its limbs on all sides into the comparatively small chequered patches which form the several states of the two Continents, the ditfe. rence of their magnitude reminds us of a whale in the midst of a shoal of porpoises. ' " When we consider that this overgrown power is keeping up something like a million of men in arms, we confess that, without a sincere and honest confederaticn of civilized nations, it is no chimerical apprehension that Western Europe may once more be deluged by the slavish barbarians of the North. However well disposed the Emperor Nicholas may be to cultivate the arts of peace, and exercise the virtues of moderation—which, however, he appears to have failed to do, with regard to Turkey, in breach even of a solemn declaration—it should be remem bered that the good effects of his personal disposition are contingent on his life; and that it is impossible to say what line of conduct his autocratical succes sor might determine to pursue. Let Austria in particular look to this contingency and endeavour to provide for it. " Austria, above all other States, is deeply inte rested in the treaty made with Turkey. By leaving the two great provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia in the occupation of Russia, with Servia ready to throw herself into the arms of this power, she is virtually surrounded and made vulnerable on three of her sides; open to an invasion at any moment, into Gallicia, Transylvania, Sclavonia, and, in fact, into all Hungary. If there be any faith to be placed in the word of Nicholas, when he disclaimed all aggrandizement of territory, he cannot in honour hold those provinces which the treaty has virtually given him in perpetuity; for being pledged for in demnity which the Tuck can never pay—being garrisoned by Russian troops, and governed by hos podars appointed by Russia; it looks very like a preconcerted scheme to obtain perpetual possession. If this be not meant, and if the Czar be desirous of putting his boasted moderation to the test, let him concert to their being placed under the protection of Austria, in the same mariner as the lonian islands are under that of Great Britain. The Christian in habitants would be rejoiced if altogether transferred to this power; and for such a boon it would be wise on ther part, if so required, to abandon the north of Italy, where her very name is held in abhorrence. In every point of view, morally and politically, such an arrangement would appear to be desirable. To Austria it would lay open a line of coast on the Black sea, extending about a hundred miles between the Dniester and the southern branch of the Danube, and thus restore something like a balance of power on that side between her and Russia; and it would prevent Turkey from ever in terfering with the territories situated on the northern side of the Danube ; but these are points, among many others of equal importance, which we appre hend it may be necessary to arrange by a congress of the great Powers of Europe." With regard to the settlement of the Greek question, the" Reviewer expresses precisely the sane opinions which we have all along enter tained and expressed. Count Capo dlstria is not only a political adventurer of very ques tionable principles, but the creature of Russia, and the gworn enemy of England ; and on " this ground alone," the Reviewer observes, "we do not think that either England, France, or Austria, ought to consider him a fit person to be placed at the head of the Greek Government. It is, in fact, neither more or less than throwing Greece into the hands of Russia, between which and Nervia the province of Albania only is in, terposed. 'To talk of the independence of Greece under spch man as Count Capo d'lstria is a farce ;" but the farce, after all, we fear, will be acted ; and even if it should not, is not Russian influence, supposing the Treaty of Adrianople to be carried into effect, already too extensive and powerful to permit even an independent Prince to remain independent of it ? Turkey is at this moment virtually a province of Russia—the subjects of the latter possess all the rights of Russian subjects within the territories of the guarded by Sultan—the Turkish fortresses are Russian soldiers—the revenues of the State levied by Russian commissioners, and, in a word, Turkey, as an independent country, only exists in name. We say, therefore, that if Greece he in future to be an independent state, Russia must again be driven across the Danube and the Pruth and the Porte re-established as an independent state ; and that unless this be done speedily there is no power in Europe, with the exception of England—and she too has some reason to tremble for her eastern dominions—which can consider itself safe from invasion and irruption by the Russian barbarians.—Morning Adver. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PoRTSmOUTII, NOV. 14.—The Raleigh, 18, Com mander Sir William Dickson, Baronet, arrived on Thursday from the Mediterranean. She left Vice- Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm with the strength of his fleet in the harbour of Bisika on the 20th September. Sir Pulteney had only just heard of the cessation of hostilities between Russia and the Porte. The Raleigh on her way down called at Malta and Gibraltar. From the latter fortress she sailed on the Ist instant, leaving there the Dart mouth frigate. When the Raleigh quitted the com bined squadron, the united force consisted of six English, two French, and seven Russian sail of the line; three English, two French, two Ruasian, one Dutch, and one Austrian frigate ; two English, two French, and two Russian sloops of war, and one English bomb. The Russian fleet was anchored in mid-channel between Tenedos wall the Main, while in shore abreast of them was the English fleet. Up to this period no intimation had been given of the return of the Russian fleet to the Baltic; cillse quently, as the movements of the Bsitisli squadron will depend on those of the Russian, no idea was entertained of Sir Pulteney diminishing his force, by.sending back to England any of the men-of-war, by which his power was strengthened under cir cumstances apparently less auspicious to the tran quillity of Europe, than those that have subse quently transpired. Various rumours prevailed among the squadron ; it was considered by some that the Russians would winter at Poros ; if so our ships will remain out; by others that they would winter at Toulon, the defective state of the squadron being such as to render hazardous a homeWarsl bound voyage in the winter season. Another ru mour circulated was, that immediately on the ratifi cation of the Treaty, the Russian squadron would quit the Mediterranean for England, under the escort of a British squadron, to insure the safety of their crews, in the event of accident in crossing the Bay of Biscay. Our officers have well traversed and surveyed the plains, with Homer in their hands, arid that ancient' bard is now as well read in that quarter, as Hamilton Moore or Inman. The Ra leigh is ordered to Woolwich to be paid off, and will sail to-morrow. We have accounts from Malta to the 21st of Oc tober (fourteen days subsequent to the sailing thence of the Raleigh), at which date the Britannia, Ocean, Melville, Spartiate, and Madagascar, were lying there. The Gloucester had proceeded to the Archipelago; the other ships named were waiting the return of the Weazle sloop-of-war, which had been despatched to the Vice-Admiral for orders. By information received over-land since the Ra leigh left the fleet, we find that the Russian fleet has quitted its station off the Dardanelles. On its departure, the Russian Admiral, Count Heyden, caused his ships to hoist the Turkish, French, and English colours, and saluted with 21 gulls. The English fleet then did the same, and quitted the neighbourhood, leaving only six vessels of war. On the 29th September the French squadron quitted the Archipelago. On the 7th October Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm returned to the Dardanelles on a brig, with a cutter in company, went up the canal to Constantinople, and on the following day had the unusual honour of a private audience with the Grand Seignior, to which he was introduced by our Am bassador, the Hon. Robert Gordon. The Sultan was remarkably affable and cheerful. Trade had begun to revive at the Turkish capital. IN fifteen days 117 ships had arrived from the Mediterranean, 50 of which had gone to the Black Sea : 76 of these were Austrian and Sardinian, and 32 were English. The Blossom surveying ship, Captain Owen, was at Madeira on the Ist of October; the Light ning, 18 guns, Captain Dickinson, was there on the following day, and the Ariadne, 28 guns, Captain Marryatt, there on the 12th of the same month.-- The Cadmus sloop-of-war and Thetis frigate were at Buenos Ayres on the 10th of September. The Shannon frigate, Captain Clement; arid the Victor, 18 guns, Captain Keane, were at the Havannah on the Ist of September. A letter has been received in this town from his Majesty's ship Sybille, on the coast of Africa, dated the 12th of August, which states that a fever had begun to afflict that ship, and had carried off six marines, 34 seamen, and the Captain's steward. The Herald yacht, Captain Maxwell, put into Plymouth last week, on her voyage from this port for Carthagena, in consequence of the severe illness of Mrs. Turner, the lady of his Majesty's Envoy to Colombia (who is going out in the Herald), and will remain there until Mrs. Turner is sufficiently re covered to proceed. The Britomart, 10, Commander Johnson, is or dered to the Western Islands, to take out W. H. Read, Esq., Consul-General of those Islands. 'The Ganges, 84, Captain Hayes, C. 8., and the Pembroke, 74, were taken out of dock yesterday. The Edinburgh, for repair, will, on Monday, occupy that vacated by the former, and the Sultan the dock out of which the Pembroke was taken. The Amphitrite frigate will be taken out of dock on Monday, and the Bull Dog will be brought in to be broken up. The Raven and Starling cutters arrived at Ply mouth on Friday, from Milford. These vessels were built in Pembroke dock-yard, on a peculiar construction, arid are intended to be fitted as tenders. The Delaford, freight-ship, came into harbour on Thursday, from Deptford, and this morning were embarked in her detachments for Corfu, of the 18th, 51st, 90th, and 95th Regiments. The Neva transport, from Deptford, came into harbour this morning, to take on board detachments of the 7th Fusileers, 85th Regiment, and 2d Bat talion of the Rifle Brigade, to join the service com panies of their respective regiments at Malta : and a detachment of the 43d Regiment to join the service companies of that corps at Gibraltar. They will be embarked on Monday. The Sylvia cutter arrived on Sunday, and the Snipe cutter on Monday from a cruise. The Sylvia sailed again on Tuesday. The Hightlyer, tender to the Hyperion, sailed yesterday for Newhaven. PROMOTIONS.-Mr. W. Mitchell, of the Isis, to be Lieutenant of the Samarang. Mr. R. B Wat son, late acting Lieutenant of the Menai, to ke Lieutenant. His Majesty's ship Rapid, 10, Commander C. H. Swinburne, launched at this dock-yard in Sep tember last, is expected to sail for the Mediter ranean in a few days. She has been fitted with carronade slides, on the plan invented by the Hon. Captain Elliot, of his Majesty's ship Victory, by which the guns can be trained at a greater angle than hitherto. It is said that his Majesty's ship Impregnable, 104 , , at Plymouth, is to be immediately put in commission. APPOINTMENTS.—Capt. G. W. Hamilton, Lieut. George Caswell, John Bazely, Wm. O'Bryen Hoare, and W. H. Hall; Mr. Benjamin Jennings, Purser, and Mr. Patrick Martin, Assistant-Surgeon, from Haslar Hospital, are appointed to the Druid, fitting at Plymouth, Lieut. W. P. Green, of the Astrwa, is appointed to the Frolic; Lieutenant Robert Paley, to the 4strpa, vice Green; Lieutenant Ed mund Norcott, is appointed to the Trineulo ; Mr. J. R. Lilburn is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and appointed to the Wellesley. The Gillmore, in which vesFel Mr. Than as Peel and suite embarked for the new settlement at Swan River, arrived off Madeira on the 25th of August. Lieutenant Jacob Siver, Resident Lieutenant of the Royal Hospital at Haslar, is about to retire. Thirty-three outward-bound ships have sailed from this port within the last two days. The following is an extract of a letter, dated on board his Majesty's ship Asia, off the Dardanelles, Sept. 18th, and received on Thursday last, per the Raleigh :—" I received your last by the Favourite, on the sth of September : she was 31 days from Engler - IJ. The fleet here consists of ILI sail of the line, six frigates, four sloops, and three brigs. Of these, six sail of the line, two frigates, and three sloops, are English—the rest are Russians. The Treaty of Peace between the Turks and Russians was signed in the early part of last week, the Rus sians having taken Enos, and garrisoned it with 10,000 troops, and marched beyond Adrianople, to within 40 or 50 miles of Constantinople. The signing of the Treaty was announced to us by the Admiral's sending a note on the quarter-deck. By the terms of the Treaty, the Russians are to have the free passage of the Dardanelles (which they had not before), and are to keep the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia until the payment of 7,000,0001. sterling by the Turks, for the expences of the war. It is thought impossible for the Turks to pay so much money, and that, therefore, the Rus sians will still gain a great extension of territory by the treaty. In one of the papers you sent me there was a paragraph respecting the Mary schooner, which was detained off the Dardanelles. We hap pened to be there one day with the squadron of five sail of the line, and the his was sent in to re quest the Russian Admiral to let the Mary pass, which he immediately did. When we were cruising ,between Mitylene and Scio, we exercised in the se- . Veral manoeuvres, arid had a sham fight, the effect of which was very fine. To-morrow we go to Troy. It is expected that the extra squadron will shortly be withdrawn, and as the Asia's time is just up, she will probably be one of the ships to go home," By a letter from Smyrna dated October 3d, we learn that his Majesty's ship Revenge, 76, Captain N. Thompson, had arrived there, arid that Captain Thompson had for the present taken the command of the station. The raising of the blockade of the Dardanelles had been officially announced by a letter from Sir P. Malcolm, to the British Consul at Smyrna. The Officers of the French surveying expedition on the coast of Brazil, under the direction of Baron Roussin, having completed the survey of that coast as far Smith as the Island of St: Catherine, are di rected to extend their survey to the mouth of the river Flute, by which the whole of that coast will be completed. An order was received on Friday last in his Ma jesty's Dock-yard at this port, from - the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty, to fit his Majesty's ship Ganges, 84, Captain John Haynes, with a new improved pump-dale on the plan of Sir Robert Sep pings. The pump-dales in use in the Royal Navy until a very late period, have been constructed with wood, and have, front their situation, been found extremely inconvenient, leading from the pump across the quarter-deck, offering a great obstruction to the moving of the guns, and blocking up the free passage of the deck. Captain Phillips, R.N., has already improved upon this plan, by placing the pump-dales underneath the beams supporting the deck, by which the above inconvenience has been remedied. Sir R. Seppittgs has, however, effected a further improvement in the pump-dale, the parti culars of which we hope to be able to state in a fu ture paper. His Majesty's ship Asia, on going to the Mediterranean, was fitted on this plan, by way of experiment, and in consequence of the favour able report made by Sir E. Codrington, who had, in the battle of Navarin, an opportunity of giving it the best possible trial, it was ordered to be adopted in his Majesty's ships Hastings, Warspite, and Melville. The two former were fitted accord- ingly, but'the pump-dale for the latter was not in readiness when she sailed. It is, however, now ready to be fitted on the first opportunity. The Committee of Naval Officers appointed to revise the rigging warrant, closed their sittings in his Majesty's Dock-yard on Saturday last. Among other contemplated improvements which have been submitted for their approval, is a new method of fitting the cat-blocks of anchors. The improve ment consists in the attachment of a swivel-11(30k to the cat-block (instead of the fixed hook, hitherto in use), by which the inconvenience that frequently arises from the twisting of the rope is effectually prevented. On Monday evening last, at a quarter past seven o'clock, Brown, a shipwright, one of the rounders that night, whose duty it was to see that all was safe, was going his rounds, when he observed thick volumes of smoke to issue from the roof of the whitesmith's shop, and In a few seconds the flames burst forth through the roof. He immediately.gave the alarm, when Mr. Radcliffe attended, and with some assistance succeeded in battering open the doors, when they discovered the whole place in flames. The Marine Guard, commanded by Capt. D. Campbell, had by this time arrived, as also 100 convicts from the Leviathan convict hulk. The engines were brought to play with great expedition, and, from' the plentiful supply of water, the fire was completely got under by eight o'clock, before many of the officers in the Dock-yard knew any thing about it. Too much praise cannot be given to the various officers of the yard, the officer com manding the guard, &c., for their prompt and effec tual exertions, and for which, we understand, they received the thanks of the worthy Commissioner, Sir Michael Seymour, who was present, giving directions, during the whole of the time. It is supposed that the fire originated from a spark which had got among the wood-work, within a few feet distance from the forge, where there is a vice bench, with drawers underneath, and wooden cup boards above. The progress of .the fire must have been very rapid, for at seven o'clock Mr. Sullivan, the boatswain, went his rounds, and found all right. Alterations of an important nature are about to be adopted in the magazines of ships of the Navy, by which much risk will be avoided, whilst expe dition in supplying the guns is attained. Part of the principle is a revolving circular box, placed in the bulk-head of the magazine; the empty cartridge box is placed in it from without, ar►d a full one is received from the inside by merely turning the ma chine. The magazines are also to be lowered 14 inches more than at present below the surface of the water. It is rumoured, but we know not with what truth, that the fleet under Sir Pulteney Malcolm, in the Mediterranean, is to be immediately recalled. It is also reported that the Russian fleet, under Count Heiden, are to winter at Plymouth, but we rather believe that Toulon is intended to be their winter cram ers. The Plymouth Journal says that the Emperor of Russia has offered the Command-in-Chief of all the Russian Navy to Sir Edward Codrington. This statement is given as " from a high quarter," but it seems highly improbable. 'I he following are directions for vessels to enter Mother Ivy's Bay, near Padstow, where they may find shelter until they can run for Padstow harbour, communicated to the Committee of Lloyd's--" Vol venten, or Mother Ivy's Bay, lies on the east side of Trevose-head, and W. half N. three miles from the entrance of Padstow harbour. Vessels. may anchor here with the wind from S. to N.N.W. in seven fathoms at low water. With N.W. winds haul close round the small islands or rocks called the Madraps, and anchor within a cable's length of them, the eastern most bearing about N.V. Vessels caught on the coast by gales from the N.W., and not being able to keep off, may anchor here to wait a flowing tide to run for Padstow, which harbour should never be a ttempted on an e bb tid e i n strong wea th e r, w i t hout a leading wind. It is recommended not to lie long in this bay, as, should the wind shift round to the N.E., it would bring in a heavy sea, when both ves:el and lives would be in danger, there being very little room to get under weigh." DEVONPORT, Nov. 14.—The following Midship men passed their examinations for Lieutenants at ,the Royal Naval College on Monday last : Messrs. R. B. Watson, Charles Grove, J. H. M. Robert son, W. P. Crozier, Hon. Charles St. Clair, Sid ney Grenfell, John Theodore Page. His Majesty's sloop Orestes, 18, Commander J. Reynolds, sailed yesterday for the Cove of Cork. The packet brig Briseis, Lieut. J. Downey, arrived from the River on Thursday, and sailed yesterday for Falmouth.—The Armada, 74, having had her defects made good, has been this week placed at her moorings in Hamoaze. The Dublin, 50, is expected to be brought for ward for commission, to receive the broad pendant of Capt. the Hon. H. Duncan (1806), who will re lieve Commodore Collier on the coast of Africa, the Sybille's period of service expiring in December. The Dryad, 42, it is also said will be shortly com missioned for foreign service. Orders have been received to recommission the Druid, 46, at this port, for foreign service, Capt. G. W. Hamilton, C. 8., late of the Cambrian, to have the command. In Hamoaze—St. Vincent, Kent, Pylades, Hya cinth, Leveret, Royalist, Meteor steam-vessel, and Britomart transport. In Barnpool—Undaunted. Island—Britomart and Bramble. - Sound—Herald. APPOINTHENTS.—Lieutenants William O'Brien Hoare and William Henry Riall, to the Druid; Mr. J. A. Mould to be supernumerary Assistant- Surgeon to the St. Vincent, 120, vice Mr. Francis Osborne, appointed to the Sheldrake packet. Lieut. John W. Bailey, to be Resident Agent for Transports, at Portsmouth; Lieut. T. Williams 01 to be Resident Agent for Transports in the Isle of Wight; and Lieut. S. Spencer, to assist the Super intendant, at Deptford. Lieut.-Colonel Henry Cox, of the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines, has retired upon full pay, in consequence of which the following promotions have taken place, viz. :—Major Edward Carter Hornby, to be Lieut.-Colonel, vice Cox, retired; Brevet Major George Beatty to be Major, vice Hamby; Captain James S. Pilcher to be Pay Cap tain, vice Beatty; and Capt. George Butt Bury, from half-pay, to be Captain, vice Pilcher. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY Nov. 14. DUNN V. DUNN. Mr. HORNE supported a petition for the retnoval of a Captain Coldieutt, who had been appointed the next friend of the infants in this cause, and who had bccome insolvent. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the statement as to Captain Coldicutt's circumstances was quite cor rect. He had been a speculator in pictures, and it had turned out a very unsuccessful one. Among other bad bargains he had made, one was the pur chase of a picture, supposed to be painted by Salva tor Rosa, for 600 guineas, which was afterwards found not to be by that artist, and which had fetched at an auction only 61. Captain Coldicutt was not in a situation to oppose the prayer of the petition, but the Solicitor-General, on his part, contradicted a statement which had been made, that he was de sirous of withdrawing, and that the petition was pre sented on his account. No such statements ought ever to have been put forward, and they were be sides wholly untrue. The LORD CHANCELLOR intended to give judg ment in the cause on Monday, and would dispose of this petition at the same time. BEVERIDGE V. HAT. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved that the de fendant should stand committed to the Fleet for the wilful breach of an injunction of this Court. The plaintiff was a surgeon, practising in Newgate-street, and the defendant, his nephew, and also a surgeon, had entered into an agreement, on being taken into partnership by his uncle, that when the period of -their partnership should have terminated, he would not practice within a certain distance of the plain tiff's residence. The defendant had broken this agreement by setting up in Cheapside, and the in junction had been obtained, restraining him from further practisinz in that neighbourhood. In con tempt of this injunction the defendant had again established himself in Cheapside, and instead (as he had formerly done) of proceeding quietly and un ostentatiously, he had had his name written above the door, "James Hay, surgeon, &c.," in large cha racters. A great number of affidavits had been filed in support of the motion, and it appeared that some time since the defendant had married a ward of the Court, and had suffered a protracted impri sonment in consequence. The plaintiff had recently gone to France, and during his absence, in breach of the agreement as well as the injunction, defendant had set up business on his own account in Cheapside. The LORD CHANCELLOR would take home the affidavits and read them. In so important a case he was unwilling to give judgment without full consideration. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 14. THE KING V. MANWARING. This was a conviction under the Hawkers' and Pedlers' Act of the 50th Geo. 111. c. 41. It ap peared that the defendant had been employed . by a person named Boyle, a china and Iwthenware ma nufacturer at Henley, to carry his ivares about the country for sale. He accordingly went to different towns in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, and Leices tershire, and in his progress took a room an inn at Gaiusborough, where he sold his wares by auction, without having a hawker's licence, for want of which he was convicted under the Act of Parliament in the penalty of 101. By the 23d section of the Act the real workers and makers of the articles sold, and their children, apprentices, or known agents or ser vants usually residing with them, were exempted from the penalty. The defendant was the agent or servant of Mr. Boyle, at a fixed salary, but did not reside in his master's house, but in a small tenement of his own, at Henley, about 300 yards from Mr. Boyle's residence; the question, therefore, was, whether lie came within the description of a " known agent or servant usually residing with the real worker or maker only," within the meaning of the Act. The COURT were of opinion that he did not. They thought that the exemption applied only to persons who were members of the family of the ma nufacturer, or usually residing with hint as part of his establishment. Letters from Aberdeen state that the utmost exertions are making to throw Mr. HOME out of the district of boroughs at the next general election, and with every prospect of their efforts being successful. Sir J. CARNEGIE is reported to have secured three out of five, which, if true, will undoubtedly secure his election. The number of sealed proposals which have been sent in to the Commissioners of Police by divers clothiers, hatters, shoemakers, tailors, &c., who offer to furnish the force with the articles of their respective trades at prices far below those usually demanded, do, it is said, exceed some hundreds. Among the number, a spirited barber, named LOVE, who resides in Drury-lane, forwarded a proposal for shaving the men of " F." division every morning—supplying theta with the requisite soap and water, together with clean towels, blacking their boots and shoes, and finally brushing their clothes, all at the small charge of one penny per head. The office of Gentleman Porter, or some such appointment, lately became vacant in the neighbourhood of Windsor, a birth of some consequence, it seems, as it takes the party out of livery. An influential person in these kingdoms named one of his establishment for the vacancy; but a lady, whose name, though frequently mentioned, is not often seen in print, proposed one of her own footmen—and he was thereupon appointed, and the first party disappointed. Though the parties and the place are insignificant, the anecdote is deemed by some Court-end folks worthy of repetition, as still showing " how the wind blows," BARNSLEY, Nov. 13. All the weavers who have been so fortunate ac t° . obtain work, are now activly employed in :tb! ir t looms, and business is proceeding here as Usti"' though perhaps with a little increase of spirit, owil to many of the houses having been so long tinter ployed. The report of the apprehension of 0 1 ' Ashton, at Whitby, one of the leading members the Barnsley Weavers' Committee, as stated in d i Leeds Mercury of last week, proved to be correct; and on Friday evening he arrived at this plate s custody, and was lodged in the town prison, en charge of being concerned in the riot and attack 9$ Sykes's house at Dodworth, on Thursday, the li t ' of October. Last Saturday William Jagger, westv! r ' of Worsbro'-common, was apprehended on a chat ° of being concerned in the attack on Mr. Tho m" Jackson's house, at Keresforth-hill, on the night.° Wednesday, the 26th of Atigust last, when till ; gentleman's house was set on fire, and the furnifal and books consumed. On Monday, John Carr ill Thomas Oates, (usually called Thomas -Hoyle , : weavers, were apprehended, and committed te, prison on a similar charge. On Wednesday, 0 11 Ashton underwent an examination before L . Wharncliffe, the Rev. Dr. Corbett, and' Josep h : Beckett, Esq., when he was committed to 3 1°7 Castle to take his trial for the offence at the at , Assizes. Jagger and Carr were also examined, but the principal evidence against, them being MO') they were remanded. Between the periog - Hoyle's committal, and the examination before dif Magistrates, he had effected his escape, under following extraordinary circumstances, and has 6 1 . since been heard of:—About two o'clock in O . : , afternoon of Monday last, soop after Hoyle 4 - Carr witre.conunitted, a dense smoke, - soo , ed by flame, was seen to issue from the gr'll window of the Rrison. An alarm was instant!! raised that the prison was cm fire, when ficti u d Woodcock, a constable, who had posseisiort° fl " 3 ' keys, in the absence of Carnelly, t h e police-offi ce, "' wishing to rescue the prisoners from what be c on '' sidered their impending fate, opened the door' Hove, seizing the moment of liberation, ran off At full speed, and effected his escape; but the othe r' prisoners remained, and when the alarm was Oct . they were again secured. There is reason to suP', pose that the fire in the prison was,a stratagem, cc, certed for the purpose of effecting the escape Hoyle, and that it proceeded from a quantity* °, straw, which was in the inside of the prison, haling) been collected and ignited at the window.

This work has undergone a very laborious revision ; in every instance where the slightest obscurity appeared in tracing lines of descent, the whole matter has been re modelled, and a plan entirely new pursued generally, which it is hoped will satisfactorily obviate the hitherto universal complaint against houks of genealogy, in regard to per spicuity. To render this department as interesting as possible, accounts will be found of many celebrated extinct houses. A very large addition has likewise been made to Co!la terals, so that all within the remotest remaindeiship to honours, appear in their proper places and a description of the armorial bearings of each house is given in the body of the work, independently of the engravings.

Prince LiEvEN, the Russian Ambassador, and the Princess LIEVEN, were of the party given by the Duke and Duchess of WELLINGTON, on Monday, at their residence in Downing-street. The Gallery of the late Mr. \VEsT is daily crowded by the Connoisseurs to take a farewell view of the vast collection of pictures which enrich its walls. There is not another instance in the annals of the Fine Arts, wherein the whole works of a long life devoted to painting have been preserved together, like those of the venerable late President of the Royal Academy. This Collection, so abounding in all subjects, and treated with such rare mastery, can he seen but a few days longer, as their sale, and final dispersion will take place within the present month.—The sale of the whole must be peremp tory. We have the best authority for this assertion. A work of unusual interest is announced, under the title of " Travels in Turkey, Egypt, Nubia , Palestine, &c." by R. R. MADDEN, Esq. The author , who it appears is a-physician, and has been sojourning f o r four years in these countries, was enabled, by virtue of his profession, to ascertain the actual state of Turkish society manners, and customs, and to furnish more accurate in formation than has ever appeared on the subject. Dur ing his travels in the East he visited the sites of Troy. Memphis, Thebes, and Jerusalem, and other interesting ruins. STATE OF TRADE.—We have not heard of any particular change in trade this week. The market for goods continues very much depressed, and business lies been considerably interrupted by the disturbances which pre vailed in the early part of the week. The demand for water twist for the Russian market continues very good ; mule yarn is dull of sale.—Mitnehester Mercury. It is said, but we know not on what authority, that the Government have it in contemplation to confer the power of electing Members of the House of Commons upon the large and unrepresented towns, such as Birming ham, Manchester, and Leeds ; and that it was on this ac count that the Retford affair was postponed at the request of Mr. PEEL, till the next Session. We give this as a mere rumour, the truth of which we neither deny nor af firm ; but we have no hesitation in saying that such a pro ceeding would be, in every point of view, very politic. Nothing is so calculated to preserve the peace of a town under any temporary distress, or under the idea of any imaginary grievance, as having Representatives, to who , n the people can make their complaints, an d t h roug h w h o m they can get them laid before Parliament and the country. If Manchester and the large neighbouring towns returned Members for Parliament, we should have a great deal less of local excitement than we have under the present system. The better-informed portion of the weavers, instead of making speeches to their fellow-workmen, and thus in flaming their passions, would employ themselves, as they do in such places as Coventry and Leicester, in composing orations for their Members, and if they happened to be as clever as Mr. OTWAY CAVE or Mr. FYLER 7 they would let them off in the House of Commons, awl thus acquire a vast deal of credit for themselves, and give infinite satisfac tion to their constituents. B. sides, the bringing the lower classes into connection with Members of the Legislato4l would be calculated, in other respects, to keep them from the commission of any acts of outrage. They would na turally look to their Representatives for advice, and they would no doubt receive such as would be calculated to soothe their passions, toteach them to look to other means than those of violence to obtain redress. We trust that the Duke of WELLtNozorg and Mr. PEEL will take this hint into their consideration. They may rest assured that if it had not been for Messrs. CAVE and FYLER, the weavers of Leicester and Coventry would have been quite as troublesome as those of Manchester and Rochdale. — Morning Paper. ' »Priori of eimhitieti months luul elapPeci.

The case may be set down for further directions, which will occupy eighteen mouths more, anti the Judge may pronounce decree when the sante period has elapsed. In ad verting to this subject, the statement I have made to your Lordships is not overcharged. I have only given you a correct account of a cause in equity, that your Lordships may see the full extent of the evil which the delay produces. Your Lordships must not suppose that this evil is one of modern times. It is of long standing, and must be corrected. The Government will desert its duty—Parliament will' desert its duty—if this evil, which has been long complained of, be not remedied. It is of no use to have removed obstructions at the early stages of the process, if they are suffered to accumulate at .the end. It is useless, or rather it is worse than useless, to free the channel of the stream at its be ginning, while theJ'obstacles to'its course as it pro ceeds are allowed to remain, for that will only hasten on the progress of the waters, till where the obsta cles are the greatest they will overflow the country. These evils have existed ever since the COurt of Chancery was established. These evils originated with it,and they must be remedied. In Sir Tiles. More's life, I find it stated, that.when he entered the Court, he found it locked up with caitses,some of wiiielt laid been there for•-a petioil of from 20 to 30 years. Coming down to the time of Lord lacon,l -- tintl his speech, on taking his seat in the Court, and oil referring to the instructions he received horn King James, there are allusions to this evil. In IW3I, the House of Commons, I find that a Member cif tration of justice should be expedited in that Court which has go important a trust. It is important, however, my Lords, that no misapprehension should exist on this question. When we speak of expediting the administration ofjustice, and when we speak of guarding against every delay, we must al ways consider that there are relative terms in order to prevent us forming incorrect conceptions. A suit in the Court of Chancery has no resemblance to ,s suit at common law. In a suit at common law two individuals, or two sets of in dividuals, having , he same interest, contest one or two points which can be put in issue, and such questions can be soon lecided, can be soon known and determined. This is not the case, however, with a suit in equity. A suit .in equity relates to a very complicated descrip tion of property ; it is very often the business of the Court to take measures to collect that property from many adverse suitors, and afterwards to make just distribution of that property among many con ilicting and contending claimants. The object of a eitiit in equity implies very often an inquiry into all the questions of property connected with the suit. If your Lordships were to contrast the speedy de cisions at common law with the decisions of a vourt of equity—if you were to apply to the latter the expedition used in the former—if you were to judge from a -suit at comiami-law equity, your Lordships would c ,me to an unin formed and rash conclusion. Having made this statement of the object to be attended to in consi dering suits in a court of equity, I shall proceed to consider the changes which have been recom mended in the first part of such a suit. In 1825, as will be well known to your Lordships, Commis sioners were appointed to inquire into the proceed ings of the Court of Chancery, and into the means of obviating the delays and inconveniences which were said to exist, which did exist, and which now exist, in conducting and exi editing a suit in HOUSE OF LORDS.—(LAST NIGHT.) Mr..BANKES, Col. SIBTIIORPE, Mr. BLACKBURN, Sir EDWARD LLOYD, and Mr. DAVENPORT, brought up several private Bills. Mr. SUDDEN brought up the Infant Property Bill, a Bill for amending the laws relating to the Transfer of Estates, a Bill for facilitating the Payment of Debts and of real Estates, and the Illu 3ory Appointment Bill. . Sir ALEXANDER GRANTDrougnt up the Clerk of the Pleas Bill (Ireland) and the West India Dock Company Bill. Lord DACRE moved the third reading of the Covent-garden Vestry Improvement Bill, which, together with several others, was read a third time. Lord SKELMERSDALE presented a petition signed by upwards of 8,000 inhabitants of Great and Little Bolton, praying their Lordships to prevent the payment of wages, otherwise than in money. RENEWAL OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S CHARTER. The-Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose, agreeably to his ration; to present a petition frorn thekrespec blei4bitants of Manchester, praying their Lord ' take consideration the \exiAiericy. of opening the trade to the East Indies, and the expediency of imposing such limita tions as that opening would require, upon the pre sent charter of the East India Company when it came to be renewed. If their Lordships wished to discharge their duties as Legislators, they would not fail to familiarise themselves with the important considerations that arose out of the present petition. It propounded a series of most important questions, upon which their Lordships must form definitive opinions in the course of a few years. It often hap pened that their Lordships were under the necessity of forming opinions upon matters either upon prin ciples of government or of commerce. In the present case they might be called to do ?o with respect to distinct interests and countries, which could not be brought under consideration but by industry on their part. He hoped their Lordships would not shrink from the great, if not insuperable, difficulties of the present question. He did not mean by what he had just said to call en the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government for any declaration by which to regulate the opinion of their Lordships on the present question ; he not only did not do so, but he hoped they did not form any thing like a rash opinion. The documentary evi dence alone could enable any one to form a judgment satisfactory to themselves. Their Lordships by this measure would have to determine the commercial pro sperity of England ; they might have to determine on that which might affect the Constitution; they would the name of Althorpe, who, on referring to the Parliamentary Debates, appears to have - been an active Member of Parliament of that time, declared that the causes in the Court of Chancery were kept there from 20 to 30 years. At the same time, Coke stated that the business of Chancery was so great, that no Chancellor and no Master of the Rolls could equity. No individuals could be selected better qualified, from their great experience, learning, and information, with respect to the subject to which their ,inquiries were directed, than the gentlemen who were appointed en that Com mission. Your Lordships may, perhaps, sup pose that these individuals were prejudiced in favour of the existing system, from having passed their lives in the profession of the law, and that they would be careless of the abuses ; but it is well known, my Lords, that there were some individuals on that Commission, who had no such prejudices, and who would do whatever was possible to expose the existence of abuses. If they were contented, it is to be presumed that there was nothing further to oppose. Having said thus much in respect to the views of the Commissioners, Ishall come to the Bill, and state what are those points touched on by the Commissioners to which I have directed my attention. One material point which had first engaged their attention, as far as expediting a cause was concerned, was to examine the several steps of its progress from the first commencement of a suit till it was set down for hearing. It was supposed, and the opinion was well founde], that in a great many instances the delay was in the progress of the cause between these stages. The Commissioners, as the result of their inquiries, extensively =lied on, came to a certain conclusion, and framed certain have to determine on the lot of 60 or 70 millions of people, whose interests had become connected with theirs. All that he now asked was, to hear from the Noble Duke opposite, not what was his opi►►ion, but what was the course of Parliamentary inquiry he was prepared to recommend ? He was sure his Majesty's Government must be as anxious as he was, to enable their Lordships to come to a final decision. It had been usual in great questions of this sort to institute a Committee, fur the purpose of bringing before their Lordships all the knowledge and details possible. But whether it was the intention of Government that such a Committee should be formed or not, he was sure it was their wish to suggest as convenient a form as possible, for bringing the matter before their Lord ships. He- should not allow the session to close without moving for such documentary evidence as he might consider important. That evidence might be prepared during the recess, and their Lord ships would be enabled to come to the consideration of this important subject next year, when all the materials were before them. That motion he should make at a convenient period. All that he asked in the mean time was, assurances, which he had not the least doubt would be given, that ample time and opportunity should be allowed for the consideration of a question of such importance. The Noble Marquis requested that the petition might be read at length, stating that it embraced the whole commercial feelings of Manchester, and he had reason to believe the feelings of all large towns. Lord ELLENBOROUGH could assure the Noble Marquis that his Majesty's Government felt the extreme importance of this question. Ile could assure him also that from the day on which he had the honour to be a Member of the Government, he had never had the subject out of view, nor had it ever been absent from his mind. He had taken means of obtaining the fullest know ledge which would be laid before their Lordships at the proper period. It was his wish that their Lordships should have the fullest information, and he could assure the Noble Marquis that his Ma jesty's Government by no means wished their Lordships to pass any measure without haying the bearings of it weighed in every point of view. But he was not prepared at the present mo ment to state what course his Majesty's Govern ment might think proper hereafter to advise the adoption of. Lord CALTHORPE presented a petition from the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers of Birmingham, to the same effect. The feelings of the manufacturers and mercant il e people throughout this great empire were alive on this subject, and the most intense solicitude existed that the Legislature should take the question under consideration, for the purpose of reforming the system. _ _ propositions for accelerating the progress of a suit in equity between the time it was first begun and when it was set down for hearing. These proposi tions, so fra'ned by the Commi3sioners, had since been turned into orders by the J udge, and were now the orders of ail the courts of equity. I may venture dispose of it. In the same year, a Bill was brought . in to add two assistant Judges, which was read a first time, and afterwards dropped, for what I know not. In 1653—1 am tracing down the pro gress of this Court—in 1653, the House of Corn mons voted a resolution to regulate the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery. It was then stated that one of the greatest grievances of the country were' the delays of the Court of Chancery. The attention of Parliament was, however, unsuccessfully directel to obviate the difficulties. On referring to the Life, of Lord Keeper North, who held the Seals un,ltr Charles 11., I find that it is stated by Roger North, hat the aeuumulation of business was so great in the Court of Chancery, that it oppressed him, and . even hastened his death. In 1707, a work wti , i published, stated to be written by an Attorney of the Court, a work of some celebrity, which has passed thrOUgh several editions, and in it the evil I have alluded to is mentioned. In 1756, a period that was thought to be a bright part of the history of the Court of Chancery, a work was published, entitled " Animadversions on the Court of Chancery." In that a statement is made to the same effect ; the evil is described as usual and of old standing, and it is not supposed that the matter can. be worse. I come to the Noble Lord who preceded me in. the office I have now the honour to hold, • and I find that the same evil existed in his time. Tim same evil then existed, and the same evil exists now,, The 'Suite of RICHMOND presented a petition from the county of Suffolk, praying for protection to the British wool growers against the importa tion of foreign wool. Lord DARNLEY postponed his motion ti. Monday. COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR—ME Lords, I rise for the purpose of moving the second rerding of the Bill which I took the liberty of laying a few nights ago on your Lordships' table to facilitate the administratio n of justice, and in suits and other pro ceedings in the courts of equity. It is my inten tion in moving the second reading to redeem the pledge I gave on that occasion, of stating to your Lordships shortly and distinctly, the circumstances which gave rise to the Bill, and the view which I, as a memb er o f hi s M a j esty ' s Government, tak e o f the ,subject to w hi c h the Bill relates. In what I propose to submit to your Lordships I shall endea vour to exp ress myse lf c l ear ly a nd distinely, in o r d er to be abl e , as f ar as my powe r goes, to put y our Lordship s completely in possession of the subject, and enabl e your L or d s hi ps to f o rm your own judg ment of the question to which the Bill relates. It will not be denied, that it is the duty of every Go vermnent to provide for the speedy administration of justice. If this is the duty of every Govern ment, it must be peculiarly the duty of the Govern ment of this great commercial country in whi c h a ll the branches of property are complicated in every part of the empire. When I recall to your Lord ships' recollection, that by a return made to the other House of Parliament, the property rested in the Court of Chancery, and subject to its orders, decrees, and directions, is of the enormous amount of forty millions'sterling; that a very considerable portion of this sum is the subject of litigation, and that many parties are interested in it ; your Lord ships will f ee l as strong l y as I do the great interest , the people of this empire have that the advainis to state, and there are many Noble Lords intimately acquainted with the subject, that a due attention has been paid to the recommendations of the Com missioners, and the orders have been framed on the basis they laid down. The Commissioners' recom mendation being carried into effect, in their opinion a suit in equity is now forwarded as rapidly as is consistent with justice, between the time of its com mencement and being put down for a hearing. 1 have now done with the first pat of the case, and 1 shall, in the second place, point out to your Lord ships the subsequent part of the proceedings. Some doubts may be fairly entertained of the propriety of the form of the Bill and Answer, though the Com missioners, after examining many witnesses, came to the conclusion that no alteration for the benefit of the suitor could take place. Another point which the Commissioners inquired into, and about which there may, perhaps, be some difference of opinion, is the mode of examining witnesses in suits of equity. The opinion of the Conan . :ssioners was una nimous on this point, and they decided that ho alte ration could be made for the better. Saying nothing further of the first stage of the inquiry, I pass to the next point investigated by the Commissioners, or after the cause is set down for hearing. When a cause is set down for hearing, and even when it is heard, it is not finally disposed of. The first decree is frequently limited to sending back the cause to the Master to make further inquiry. Much, then, will depend on the Masters, and on the man ner in which their inquiries are conducted. It was very generally supposed that improper delays took place in the Master's Office. The Commissioners had directed their attention to this subject, and had made certain recommendations; but I do not be lieve that the Commissioners were satisfied with the result of their proposals. It is certainly a sub- It is impossible, iii mentioning that Noble and Learned Lord, notwithstanding the political differ-. ences of opinion which prevailed between us—it is impossible that 1 should mention that noble and Learned Lord without adding that no person is more sensible than 1 am of the great merit of the Noble and Learned Lord, and that my admiration is increased from day to day for his great erudition and attainments. IN the profession it is generally said that no man ever doubted his decrees, but the Noble and Learned Lord himself. lam sore that nobody ever sat on the Bench of the Court of Chan cery who was more completely master of the subject of his jurisdiction than the Noble Lord evinced him self to be, during the period when he held the office of Lord High Chancellot.—(Hear, bear.)—What ever may have been the opinions expressed as to causes of the delays in the Court of Chancery, I, after having availed myself of the opportunities which I have had of thoroughly viewing the metier in all its bearings, am bound to say that I do not ascribe the delays to him. It is part of the system. The Court never has had the strength and the power to dispose of all the cases that erne before it without considerable delays. Anothee Cause of the accumulation of causes in the Court of Chan cery, arising from the impossibility of hearing a cause immediately on its being ripe for hearing is, that when a cause is ready for hearing, it remaine for a long time undisposea of; this gives rise t o a great variety of motions, which motions may be appealed from, and often have again to be disposed, of on a rehearsing. Another evil which arises f7oirt the same source is, that after a cause is ready for hearing, and remains for a considerable time, parties die, and then comes the necessity for supplementary Bills to bring other parties into the . cause, and thus the whole case becomes more complicated and more difficult to unravel, merely from the impossibility of hearing a cause when it is first ripe for bearing. I hope your Lordships are now of opinion that I have made out a case which calls for your Lordships' in terference. It is, indeed, admitted on all hands that this'is an evil which requires a remedy ; and the only question is, as to the mode in which the re medy shall be applied, so as to be effectual for its purpos!, Some may suppose that one plan will answer best—some that another is preferable —but all are agreed that a remedy of some sort is neces-- sary. After much reflection on the subject, and consultation with other members of the profession, I think the plan which I recommend to your Loed ships is the mast simple and the most ecorr eer e ea t that can at present be applied in practice, and that plan is, to separate the equity jurisdic':nin from the common law jurisdiction of the Exchequer, and to attach the business of the equity' side to the Ex chequer to a new Judge, eo be appointed in the Court of Chancery. I have read and considered the report of the Commissioners lately appointed to consider the coarse of proceedings in the Courts of common lawa report which is admirable for the knowledge, the zeal, the activity of those by whom it has been prepared, and they certainly deserve well of the Government and a the country. Among the recommendations in that report, one is the separation which I have mentioned—a suggestion, however, not originati with them, for the matter has fora long time been talked of in the profession, in which the pre vailing opinion has been, that the Equity and Com mon Law jurisdiction of the Court of Exchequer ought to be separated. That Commission exa mined various witnesses, able and competent to afford information on the subject. But there was . one individual on whose experience, talent; and judgment, I have very great reliance—l te eeem Sir John Richards—and he thinks that the Common . Law side of the Court of Exchequer ought to he separated from the Equity s'ele. From this exami nation it appears that not more than sixty equity cruises are decided in the Exchequer in a year, not more than one.teventh of the business that was done at the Rolls, and that not more than five cases at Cenanon Law were disposed of for hundreds that were dispatched in the Court of King's Bench; and I think it will' he an essential improvement if the recommendation of the Commissioners in this in stance be adopted. It will not be imagined that I mean to cast any imputation on the Judges of the Court of Exchequer. No : the evil is not in ale- de . . ject of great difficulty and delicacy. The Commis, sioners also recommended some measures for alter ing the remuneration of the Masters; but as a con siderable sum of money would be required to carry them into effect, they were postponed. In addi tion to these two heads of inquiry, the recom mendations of the Commissioners had also gone to a great variety of particulars, some of which would probably be improvements, but the greater part of them had been post poned'or reserved. In my opinion, speaking as an individual, it is idle, it is a delusion, to suppose any of these measures can be carried into beneficial ef fect, while the most important point is allowed to remain, and no step is taken to remedy the greatest source of all the evi:s. My Lords, the Commis sioners often considered how they could effect the accelerating of a cause after it was ready for hearing, whic!i is the most material and the most important part of the hearing of causes. I must say, with all deference to the Commissioners, my after giving much attention to the subject, I cannot suppose that no alteration can be made in this important part of the case. Their recommendations cannot be effec tual if they are acted on, and perhaps cannot be car ried into effect at all, unless something be done with this part of the case. The great evil ‘vlif,di is absolute and imperative on us to obviate, is the delay after causes are set dowv, fc,r hearing. My Lords, I must inform your Lordships that eight:-en months very often elapses after a cause is set down for hearing, before it is called on to be heard. This, is au extreme grievance, but your Lordships will form a very incorrect notion of the matter, if you suppose that the evil stops there. If a suit of com mon law, after it had been carried so far forward as to be ripe for hearing, were to be set down, and not then heard for eighteen months, but were then finally disposed of, and the judgment followed im modiutely, that would be a great evil ; but this gives 110 idea of the delay of a Chancery suit, to which I shall now advert. In a Chancery suit at the end of eighteen months, it was probable, or at least not improbable, that an appeal would be made to their I Lordships. Aq 4ppeal was set down after the cause had been heard, and then the cause was re., heard; but that could happen only when anothgr London: Hurst, Chalice, and Co., 65, St. Paul's Church-yard.

gree owing to the want of talent, industry, cr know ledge in them. It is the vice of the system. I know that the Court of Exchequer has often been tilled by great and eminent Judges, and such has been the case within my own recollection of the past, as it ie the case within my knowledge of the present. But there is a vice in the system, which neither knowledge, talent, nor industry can overcome; and I know of no better means of applying the remedy than the plan which I new recommend to your Lordships. The new Chancery Judge will he able to dispose of the Equity business of the Exchequer, and at the same time most materially assist the Lord Chancellor and the Vice-Chancellor, particu larly in the hearing of motions. Ido not, however, mean to propose to your Lordships to transfer the Equity business of the Exchequer to the new Chan cery Judge immediately, for a reason which I shall preeently mention; but I propose that the Judge should now be appointed, that he may be ready to undertake the duty whenever Parliament shall have settled the transfer. I have stated that the Govern ment had the Report of the Common Law Commis sioners under consideration, and there are some of their recommendations which are approved of, and Bills are preparing for having the alterations and improvements recommended by them carried into effect. But these Bills cannot well be passed this Session; and the intention, therefore, is to have them printed, and then to allow them to stand over till the next Session, that their provisions may be well considered. I think, after consultation with the Judges, that the greater part of the alterations recommended may be carried into execution, and when this shall have taken place, then will be the time to make the transfer which I now recommend to your Lordships to provide for. The delay in ac tually making the transfer is proper in another point of view. In carrying the change into execution it may be necessary to grant compensation to certain ellicers in the Exchequer, and when the Common ;.aw part of it shall he detached from the Equity portion, the officers may be detached also. Allow ieg such of them, however, as it may be unneces sary to continue, to hold the offices during their lives, so as to prevent the necessity of raising money to make compensation ; and as the officers gradually drop off the Court, the new Judge may be ordered, after the model of tire Court of Chancery. Another point of great importance is the consideration of the business in the Rolls' Court ; but I have not intro &teed any provision into this Bill n that head, in consequence of the present state of the health of the Master of the Rolls. No one has a higher opi nion of the knowledge and talent of that emi nent Judge than I have, and I should be very reluctant to propose any alteration in the mode of doing business in his Court, without first con sulting him. But lam in hopes that it will not be necessary to make any legislative pro vision on the subject. I remember that in the year 1813, the present Master of the Rolls was a Mem ber of the House of Commons when the question as ro the appointment of a Vice-Chancellor was under discussion ; and that he, in a most able and eloquent speech, pointed out the value of a change in the manner of the sittings of the Master of the Rolls.-- As the Roils' Court was constituted at present, the Master in term time sat three times a week in the evening, for four hours each time—making twelve hours in the week devoted to the hearing of causes, motions, petitions, and other business. But even these twelve hours are not gained for the despatch of the business of the Court of Chancery; for when the Master of the Rolls sits in the evening, the Counsel require that the Chancellor and Vice-Chan cellor shall rise at three o'clock, so that by this means two hours are lost to the bus;nass of the Court of Chancery, and the Rolls' Court therefore gives only six effective hours to the despatch of the Chancery business. I know that the present Master of the Rolls may do more business in six hours than marry others would do in twelve; but I think that considering the great salary, and consideration, arid other advantages attached to the situation of the - Master of the Rolls, the country has a claim on the Rolls' Court fur a larger portion of time to be dee voted to its service. Out of term the Master of the Rolls sits only, on an average, four times in the week. What I propose, though I haze trot intro thiced that as a provision in the Bill, is, that the Master of the Rolls should sit like the other Judges. This will add great strength and vigour to the ope rations of the Court of Chancery, end to the de spatelt of business in that Court; and when I re collect the speech made by the present Master of the Rolls in the House of Commone, on the occasion to which I have adverted, I have sanguine hopes that this is an arrangement to which he will accede. But whether this ought to be made a subject of legisla tion, with reference to future Musters of the Rolls, may be considered in the Committee, when this Bill shall have attained that stage. Another material point to be kept in view is, the delay and confusion arising from Counsel going from one Court to an ot!..er, and conducting causes in different Courts at the same moment. The instant a Counsel closed the last sentence of his opening speech in one Court, and in one cause; and before, perhaps, he had time to close it, he was summoned to another Court, and called upon to engage in another cause, and so on, backwards and forwards between them, so that it was hardly possible that he could do justice to either, The Gentlemen df the Bar, themselves, were im pressed with the inconvenience of this, and were most anxious that a remedy should be applied ; and much may be done in this way by the Court of Chancery itself, and by the Benchers of the Inns, so as to make this objectionable proceeding almost im practicable. Now, it may be said in answer to the reasons which I have stated in favour of the adop tion of this plan—it may be said, that I am by this method increasing the number of appeals ; and I ad mit this with the qualifications which I shall pre sently mention. But then, although you increase the nuraber of appeals, you will enable the Lord Chan cellor to hear them. As matters at present stand, the timecrthe Lord Chancellor is often so much occupied in the hei:rirtg of motions, petitions, and other inter locutory pioceedings of that description, that he cannot hear appeals when it would be highly de sirable that they should be heard. From the delay in hearing the appeals arise motions, and then ap peals are made from the decisions on these motion=, and etill further delays are occasioned, But if ap peals aria original causes could be heard when they are ripe for hearing, then much time would be saved that was now lost in the hearing motions; and if the number of appeals increased, the saving on the' one hand would balance the loss of time on the other ; and if one Judge was not sufficient to hear the appeals, then some such system might be adopted as that which prevailed at common law, But then, it may be said, that this will double the stages of appeal. That inconvenience, however, exiats in theory even now ; for there is an appeal from the Vice-Chancellor to the Lord Chancellor, and from the Lord Chancellor to the House of Lords, But in practice little or no inconvenience arises from this state of things ; for there are hardly, in the course of the year, more than two appeals from the Court of Chancery, and two from the Equity side of the Exchequer; nor more than two writs of error from the Courts of Common Law in England. The gri.e.at majority of the appeals come from Scotland and Ireland, especially from the former country, Another eiectonstance connected with this subject is, the state of the law business in the Privy Council. The arrear theee is not great, even as the matter stands but the a ppoiatment of this new Judge, fully competent to elaiteose of the business in the Privy Council, would eaeetually keep down the arrear. This, my Lords, is the outline of the plan which I now propose to ,your Lordships for your approval. lam not bigotted to ley own plan. My object is to facilitate the hearing pi causes as soon as possible after they are ripe for hearing ; and if any better plan for effectuating that object can be proposed, let it be considered and adopted ; but at present this is the most promising plan that I have been able to devise. ft know that some are of opinion that the evil might be remedied in another way, and that was by detaching the bank allot system from the jurisdiction of the Lord Chan- MALT AND BEER DUTIES. Mr. SLANEY, in bringing the question respect ing the duties on beer and malt before the House, was afraid he should have to detain the House for a short time. The question respecting the supply of malt liquor to the people of this country was one of great importance to the working classes of the com munity, to whose industry we were all indebted ; it was of much consequence to the landed proprietors, and of the deepest interest to his Majesty's Govern ment. To the working classes, malt liquor was a necessary of life, and no less than 10,000,000 of people were interested in the subject he was about to discuss. The landed gentlemen of this country were also directly interested, because the second grain produce of their estates was in immediate re lation to the quantity of corn consumed ; and with respect to the revenue, this question would soon, as he should presently show, be of the greatest im portance. He would state now- the manner in which he meant to enter into the subject. It divided it self into three heads. Ist. The progress and de cline of the malt and beer trade ; 2d, the causes of the decline; and 3d, the evil consequences of the decline, and its remedy. The quantity of malt tnadein this country was a measure of the comfort of the working classes, as malt liquor constituted a necessary of life to ten millions of people; and it also constituted a measure of the prosperity of the landed interest, because it regulated the consump tion of the second grain. By returns before the House, of the malt made in England and Wales, from 1787 to 1828, it appeared that in 'the first year 3,400,000 quarters of malt were made, and in 1828, 40 years afterwards, the quantity was 3,100,000 quarters, being a diminution, in the space of 40 years, of no less than 300,000 quarters. It might be asked why he did not take the year 1829 into his calculation, in which year there was a trilling increase, the quantity being 3,800,000 quarters ? The reason he had not taken that year was, because it was an extraordinary year for malt. By the united testimony of all maltsters, there had not been such a year for twenty years past. He would now call the attention of the House to a point which marked more strongly the diminution in the quantity of malt. In 1787 the population of this kingdom was 7,400,000 persons, and in 1829, accor d ing to the population returns, it was 13,500,000 per sons, making an increase in the population of above 6,800,000 persons. Whilst this increase had taken place there had been a diminution in the consumption of the national beverage. He asked whether that cir cumstance was not sufficient in itself to call for in quiry. The consumption of this article had de (lined, whilst the population had increased. He would ask any gentleman whether the consumption of any other manufacture had decreased in a similar way ? In 1787 each person consumed on an ave rage three bushels and seven pints of malt annually. The consumption of malt, therefore, by the present increased population,ought to be increased to no less an extent than 19,000,000 bushels to what it was in 1787. In 1787 the consumption of malt was 27,000,000 of strikes ; and the consumption in 1828, taking into consideration the increase in the population, ought to have been 4 1 ;,000,000 strikes, instead of being 24,800,000 strikes--a diminution of nearly one-half of what it ought to have been. Let the House look for some cause for this dimi nution in the consumption of malt, at the very time when an increase ought to have taken place. He bad only stated what the increase in the consump tion ought to have been, in proportion to the in crease in the population ; but to understand the question fully, the House should consider what the increase in the consumption of malt ought to have been, in proportion to the increase in the consump tion of other articles. Let the House look to the increase which had taken place in cultivation. From 1801 to 1828, 1,806 enclosure Acts had passed. On an average, there were 1,600 acres of land in each enclosed land ; and taking two-thirds of the lands enclosed during the above stated period to be in England and Wales, there would have been above 2,000,000 of additional acres thrown into cultiva tion. Many lands, too ? were enclosed without Acts, and many were misch improved previous to enclo sure, and were therefore' capable of giving greater production; add for this 1,000,000 of acres, Had upon the whole there would have been 3,000,000 of a dditional acres thrown into cultivation dur ing the period from 1801 to 1828. The House would then see from this calculation, that with a population increased to the amount of 6,000,000 persons, and with 3,000,000 additional acres o f land thrown into cu lti va tio n , there had been a diminution instead of increase in the con sioiption of malt. This ditnitintiOn did not arise f ro m general poverty or from . want of the powii of consumption among the poorer classes. What then did consumption of malt liisMr. These causes were t t: c t g i cp a pi r r4 t o s , ▪ e f cT r s s) h p m ef '':From causes peculiarly sleeting first was the impolitic meddling in ever y the man u facture, and in not per tnitting the manuf acturer to use t h at i nte lli gence a nd s kill whi▪ ch the manufacturer applied to every other manufacture. The second cause was the over whelming duties on malt, which were far heavier than were placed on any other manufacture; and the third cause was the great an d numerous restrie- O cellor. But I can take upon me to say from ex perience, that such a plan would bq attended with great inconvenience. It is of great importance that appeals from the decisions of the inferior tribunals in bankruptcy, should be heard by the Lord Chan _ _ . . cellor ; arid besides, such au arrangement as that would not enable the Court of Chancery to under take the business of the equity side of the Ex- chequer, without the assistance of another Judge. I think that plan very objectionable in point of prin ciple, and that the one I now recommend is far preferable. In either case there must be a new Court and a new Judge, and that is only what I now propose. Ido not say whether the subject is now under the consideration of Government, but I do say that the jurisdiction in Chancery ought to remain as it is until a plan manifestly preferable can be suggested and carried into effect. The Bank ruptcy Commissions are divided into what are called lists, fourteen in number—in the metropolis; and this machinery is very well adapted to the nature of the work to be done. Sometimes there is a great pressure of business in bankruptcy, and some:at - les not, and the several commissions are very well adapted to this state of things. A great part of the business of the Commissioners is Ministerial ; but they have also very important business of a judi cial character, which is upon the whole admirably done. They have often an immense number of . . questions to decide; and although people are gene rally ready enough to appeal, yet few appeals com paratively are brought from their decisions, and even of those which are brought under appeal few are reversed. I appeal to the Noble and Learned Earl on the cross-bench (Eldon) whether I do not state the matter correctly, when I say that the Town Commissioners do perform their duty faithfully, and diligently, and well. I cannot say so much for the Country Commissioners. 1 have read the Report on this subject, made to the House of Commons in ISIB by a Committee of that House, of which a gentleman very competent to form a cor rect judgment on that subject, Mr. John Smith, was Chairman, and I have been considering whether the suggestions of that Committee ought not to be carried into effect. I give no opinion on the matter at present, but it does engage the attention of Go vernment. This Bill has one great object in view, and that is to facilitate the hearing of causes as soon as possible after they are ripe for hearing. When that shall have been done, and causes shall be heard soon after they are ready, we shall have done much, and then will be the time to attend to the various other particulars which have come under the consi deration of the Chancel) , Commission. Then, with the assistance of an enlightened Commission, I hope we shall succeed in removing all just grounds of complaint with reference to the proceedings of the Court of Chancery, and with regard to the consti tution of that Court ; and in the mean time I have only to say that the Commissioners, by the manner in which they have executed the task assigned to them, well deserve the warmest thanks and grati tude of their country. I move that this Bill be read a second time. The Earl of ELDON—It was his wish to take some time to consider the provisions of this Bill before he gave en opinion. As to the Report of the Common Law Commissioners, I never heard of any such Report having been presented till the day . before ye,terday. It was impossible for him at that moment to follow the Noble and Learned Lord through his description of all the stages of a Chan cery suit. But if he were obliged now to give an opinion, there were some things stated by the No ble and Learned Lord in which he did not entirely concur, although he did not mean to urge his ob jections in the way of opposition, till he considered the whole of the various branches of the subject, and then it was possible that in the main they might agree on the subject. As to what had passed this evening, he had nothing more to say, than that the person with whom the Noble and Learned Lord re presented himself as having some political difference, was one who, however ready to be angry, was not unwilling to be reconciled when much more than justice was done him.—(Hear, hear.)—When he held the Great Seal, he had done every thing in his power to remedy the inconveniences connected with the Chancery system—and more he could not do. He fully agreed with the Noble and Learned Lord, that it was of the greatest importance that the Lord Chancellor should decide as much person ally as he possibly could, and leave as little as pos. sible to the decision of others. As to the Master's Office, whatever might be said as to the delays that occurred there, he was convinced that the delays were owing much more to the suitors themselves titan to the Master, The Lord Chancellor had much to do in their Lordships' House ; bat he wished it to be unders!ood, that it was of great importance that the Lord Chancellor should devote a large portion of his attention to his own Court, where he bad they should attend in the Court of Exchequer, un less it happened that they should have no engage ment at the moment in the Court of Chancery. The Lord Chancellor now sat at Lincoln's-inn, the Vice. ' Chancellor near him, and the Chief Baron of the Exchequer at the lower part of Chancery-lane. The leaders of a cause began in one Court, then posted to another, and returned to reply to a speech which they never heard. Under such circumstances how could a Judge know the real merits of any case un less he took the papers home to read ? It was most material, therefore, to consider if means could not be devised to give the Lord Chancellor a better attendance of the bar in his own Court. In agree ing to the second reading of the Bill he begged to be considered as doing so without prejudice to any opinion he might deliver on its future stages. No man could deny that it was necessary to apply some remedy to the existing evil, whatever difficulty there might be in determining what it was proper to select. Lord REDESDALE, when lie considered the great increase of legal business, arising from the sub division of property, and the augmentation of the public debt, was surprised that the Courts pro ceeded with so little delay. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next.—Adjourned. (We observed Sir James Scarlett, Sir Charles Wetherell, Mr. Sergeant Bosanquet. Mr. Sergeant- Cross, Mr. Sugden, Mr. Bickersteth, and many others of the long robe below the throne, as well as numbers of Attorneys and Barristers below the Bar, all anxious to hear the speech of the Lord Chancellor.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(LAST NIGHT.) (A considerable number of persons had assembled this afternoon in the neighbourhood of the House, it being generally reported that Mr. O'Connell would attempt to take his seat ; but, evidently much to the disappointment of the curious, the Hon. Gentleman did not make his appearance.) Several private Bills were read a third time arid passed. Mr. Alderman WOOD moved the third reading of the Bill for Improving the Approaches to the New London Bridge.—Read a third time and passed. Mr. GRATTAN moved for a return of the number of Houses of Industry in Ireland, and the sums expended therein for the maintenance of the poor since the year 1825. Mr. LINDSEY presented a petition from the Hammermen and Corporation of Perth, against the Scotch Gaol Enlargement Bill. Mr. R. - GRANT presented similar petitions from the boroughs of Inverness and Nairn. Petitions to the same effect were also presented from the boroughs of Linlithgow and Selkirk. Mr. S. RICE presented a petition from the Apo thecaries of Limerick, praying that the laws relating to Apothecaries in Ireland might not be altered. EAST INDIA TRADE. Mr. W. WHITMORE presented a petition from Manchester, praying that the trade to India and China might be thrown open. He fully agreed in the prayer of the petitioners, but as this important subject would came under the consideration of the House on Thursday next, he would refrain on the present occasion from making any observations. Mr. LITTLETON presented a similar petition from the Manufacturers of the Chamber of Com merce in the Potteries. He hoped ample oppor tunity would he given to supply Government with the necessary information on this important subject, and that it would be coolly and deliberately argued. Mr. HART DAVIS presented a petition from the Merchants, Bankers, and others, of the city of Bristol, praying that the House would not grant any extension of the East India Company's Charter. Sir JAMES GRAHAM presented a similar pe tition from Carlisle, and another from a place the name of which we did not hear. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL presented a petition from the Hundred of Tenterden, in Kent, against that clause of the Bill, for regulating the subject of Anatomy, which directed that the un claimed bodies of paupers dying in workhouses should be given for dissection. LIVERPOOL PETITION. Mr. HUSKISSON said he rose for the purpose of presenting a petition of paramount importance, of which he had given notice yesterday, although he did not anticipate any debate upon it, as the motion of the Hon. Member for Bridgenorth on this mo mentous subject stood for Thursday night, yet he would not feel gratified in not shortly stating the grounds upon which the petitioners ventured to address the House. It would be recollected in the year 1813 the East India Company's Charter was renewed, when a long itiqu;ry took place ; that in quiry was instituted in consequence of the number of petitions that were at that time presented, praying for a free participation in the trade to Bri- often to establish precedents for the other Judges. fish India.

Sir C. BURRELL would not now go into the question of monopoly; but he must say that the price of tea was dearer by one half in England than in any other country. It was alio very hard on the ' shipping interest that America and other foreign nations should make large profits at the expense of our exports. On these grounds he agreed entirely in the observations of the Right Hon. Gentleman. General GASCOYNE supported the petition. Sir G. PHILLIPS, in the course of some obser vations to the same effect, contended that even the partial opening of the trade had been productive of the best results, and if the monopoly were done away, a very great extension of commercial inter course must follow. Mr. WHITMORE spoke briefly in support of the petition. The petition was then read, and it proved to be from the merchants of Liverpool. On the motion that it do lie on the table, Mr. ASTELL said he must deny that tea was cheaper in foreign countries than in this, considering that Government imposed upon it a duty of 100 per cent., from which foreigners were exempt. On the contrary, he maintained that tea was not only not dearer in this country than in foreign countries, but much cheaper ; and the Right Hon. Gent. and others never once took the superior quality of it into consi deration. tiaras which appliet. the supply and retail of good malt liquor to the working classes of this' country. There was no single manufacture of this country so interfered sei . th, and having such numerous restric tions placed on it, as this manufacture, which was identified with . our own soil, and constituted the national beverage of the people. He would shortly state to the House what the process of malting was. The process was a very simple one. The barley was wetted till sprouting took place, which vegetation was subsequently checked by heat from a kiln. The sprouting produced a saccharine matter, and that was the whole process of malting. Would the House believe that, till the other day, there were 40 long and complex Acts of Parliament regulating this simple process ? These 40 Acts were now, he was aware, reduced into one—reduced, did he say ? He ought to have said expanded into one, with additional restrictions. The Honourable Mem ber here described the various regulations to which the maltster was obliged to submit with re spect to the size of the cistern for wetting malt, and with respect to the notices he was forced to give be fore he could perform the smallest portion of his work. After the malt was taken out of the cistern, it must be laid on couches, as they were called, and the grain must not he rugged in the edges, under a penalty of 2001. The maltster was obliged to keep a registry of the name of each person who sold him barley, and who bought of him malt; and to sign a certificate, which must correspond with the entries made in the register, and his premises were liable to be entered night or day by the excise officer. This course of proceeding was very harassing to the malt ster, and he was confident that a remedy might be applied without diminishing the revenue of Govern ment. He next came to the overwhelming duties with which the manufacture of malt was loaded, and which amounted to no less than 3,800,000/. per an num. This tax, too, was not levied at all in an equable manner from the different counties. Norfolk paid three times mere than Devonshire, though Devonshire was five times larger, and paid a higher rental than Norfolk. Suffolk paid three times the amount of Devonshire. Hampshire three times more than Herefordshire, and Bedfordshire three times more than Cheshire. Bedford paid five times more tax than Durham. This tax alone, in 38 years, from 1791 to 1828, had raised, from the con sumers of malt liquor in England and Wales, above 133,700,000/. sterling. The malt-tax, however im politic, is borne by all consumers, but the beer-tax was borne by the consumers of malt liquor sold. All those who were rich enough to brew their liquor at home were exempt from the tax, but the working man, who was too poor to do so, was obliged to pay the tax. Nearly four-fifths of all beer brewed paid the tax, the average of which, for 1823, 1824, 1825, and 1826, amounted to 3,300,000/., and in 38 years, namely, 1791 to 1828, the amount raised by this poor consumer's tax was no less than 106,000,000/. While the quantity of malt had been declining since 1786, the number of barrels paying dirty had in creased, and the effect of these taxes and restrictions would be to drive capital from the trade, and create monopolies. He now came to the third cause of the decline in the consumption of malt liquor, and that was the restrictions which were placed in the retail supply. It was at present quite optional with the Magistrates to grant or refuse licences, and they generally made it the rule to refuse licences, and the exception to grant licences. He would wish to see the contrary the case ; and that licences should be given freely, on the parties applying entering into recognizances to abide by certain regulations. He would venture to say, that in consequence of the monopoly in the malt trade, public-houses were worth 201. per annum more rent than formerly, which additional rent in 50,000 public• houses would amount to a tax of 1,000,000/. charged on the con sumers of malt. It appeared that in 60 collections of excise, into which England and Wales are divided (including London), there are above 49,501) pub licans, of whom 23,000, being above half the coun try publicans, brewed their own beer, the rest being served by the brewers. These are curiously distri buted round the country in three zones. The first takes in London, in which there are 4,430 publicrins, of whom 39 only brewed their own beer. The second zone took in the couuties round Lon don, Kent, Surrey, Hants, Isle of Wight, Mid dlesex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, to Lynn, and Norwich, .in Norfolk. This zone contain ed about ten thousand publicans, of whom eight hun dred and twenty brewed at home, being about 1-12th. The third zone contained Northumberland, West moreland, Cumberland, and Durham, Whitby, Ha lifax, and to Hull, in Yorkshire, and across the king dom to Manchester and Liverpool. In this zone there were 5,871 publicans, of whom 787 brewed at home, being less than 1-7th. It appeared, there fore, that in the districts in which the brewers had the monopoly of the public-houses, about 5,000,000 of the people were supplied by between 200 and 300 great firms. Having stated what was the effect in the districts supplied by brewers, he would now state the result in three districts where brewers had no influence. (The Hon. Member then named the counties comprised in these three districts, but with such extreme rapidity that it was impossible to fol low him ; they were, however, principally northern and north-western counties.) In those districts,he said, six persons out of every seven brewed their own beer, and the superior quality of the liquor, compared with the brewers' manufacture, was evi dent. If a visit to that beautiful work of art, the Menai-bridge, or any other cause, should take the Right Hon. Gentleman into :hat part of the country, he begged him to taste the malt liquor between Wolverhampton and ShrewSbury, and he would at once be convinced of its superiority. With respect to the metropolis, 1,200,000 persons were supplied by only three or four great firms. The malt-tax was a duty which fell upon all consumers of beer, but the beer tax was an additional duty on all those who were not rich enough to brew at home. The monopoly of the public-houses by the brewers was an additional tax also on those who were neither rich enough tobrew at home norbuy their beer whole sale. He would briefly state the amount of revenue derived from the duties imposed on the manufacture of beer. The malt-tat produced 3,800,000/.; the beer. tax 3,300,000/.; the hop-duty, in 1827, 400,0001.; the maltsters' licences 20,000/.; the brewers' li cences 53,7001.; the public-house licences 164,0004; besides this, he estimated the additional rent of public-houses, occasioned by the monopoly of 1,000,0001., making a total of 8,737,000/. per an num. This immense dory was not levied equally upon all classes of the community, but fell almost exclusively on the poor and industrious portion. Four-fifths of the malt consumed in England and Wales were used by public brewers, the remaining fifth by private brewers. The annulil consumption of malt was about '21,000,000 of bushels, each bushel paying a duty of Ss. Taking the average price of barley to be 45., the duty amounted to no less than 200 per cent. en the value of the raw ma terial. He asked the landed gentlemen of the coun try, who were interested in the improvement of agriculture, whether they should not whisper in the ear of the 4ight Hop. Gentleman that he should grant A Committee to ipvestipte this uhjeCt? What other wanufactnre in the country was treated in the same way ? If a duty amounting to 200 per cent. on the value of the raw material were imposed upon any other branch of manufacture, how would the manufacturers pour out of their hives and buzz in Ministers' ears ? What an outcry would they raise against so onerous a regulation. The Right Hon. Gentleman might employ all his eloquence to induce the people of England (Mr.to scioairitesyum),e‘ithitehphrois- Barleyeorn in ' lr di'l i t;iu: s nict r bs ig ie b o t fP li c') an vh d ei , r; w .; •o ir u b l t d 4 ce h4 ri d a ' inly ir lie ° a ll t n liirri out or the 40. The number of spirit licences throughout the country had increased amazingly since 1800, whilst the number of ale licences had remained stationary. In 1800 the number of spirit licences was 31,097 ; en d i n 1827 it was 42,5901 being an increase of 11,000 in twenty-seven years. The increase in the number of ale licences, during the same period, was only 300. How cautious was the House of entrast ing magistrates with power to grant ale licences, Mr. HUSKISSON, in reply, said that the Hon. Chairman thought that tea could be had better and cheaper here than in foreign countries, would he only be so kind as to grant a licence to his (Mr. Huskisson's) constituents, and he (Mr. Huskisson) would engage that they would bring a great quan tity of tea into the English market from the Con tinent, and bear with all the disadvantages of the etifferenee of price and quality.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.)—For his own part, he knew nothing of this subject further than what he had heard from persons every way competent to form a correct judgment upon it. When he found, for instance, that tea was only half the price in New York that it was in London, he felt satisfied, that it must be infinitely cheaper in foreign countries than in Eng land. By u certain regulation, the East India Com pany had pledged themselves not to put tea up to sale till after it had been two years in their ware houses.—(Cries of " No, no, from Mr. Astell.)— He understood the fact to be so, and the reason alleged was tile necessity of keeping up the stock. But what was the consequence to the public ? Why, that the quality of the article became de teriorated, and the price increased. Again, he would ask if the Hon. Chairman was disposed to grant him the licence to import tea from the Con tinent.—(A laugh.) Sir GEORGE PHILLIPS said, that the people of this country paid 2,000,0001. annually to support the monopoly of the East India Company in the article of tea. whilst they suffered them to issue licences for. the selling of poison almost without limitation. It Wea of rather curious that the increase in the nunib u ar spirit licences which he had pointed out h ad u",.14 place exclusively in the country. London , it " - i n appear, was saturated before. The total increasS,' the number of ale licences during the last WOW seven years was, as he had already stated, only, on o, but the average upon the last seven years was 4, '": 0 , In the same period, however, there had been 10 11 . 0 crease in the number of wine and spirit licence° t o six times that amount. In 1829 the nunibr ffo. wine licences was 9,900, and in 1827 it was 10, 0 ‘,Ni ‘ In 1820 the number of spirit licences was 36 P uv ;; and in 1827 it was 42,000.

In cprti consumption o f f ws connection paisri t nsott htwohraietth }gad i s bee stance which called for the serious consideration that House ? Did it not behove them to take some ,pi ts ; measures for decreasing the consumpticn of and increasing that of the native beverage ? The 11 ' c f was, that malt liquor was undersold in every P art , ; the country, and spirit shops wer e set up in P a " where they never had been before, and persons had no more idea of drinking gin than poison ha s now become regular consumers of it. He had stated the vexatious regulations affecting the Me ing trade, and he thought that under the circa!): stances there ought to be a committee, if it had a. other object than to inquire if it might not be pract.l; cable to put those regulations on a better system. l e was the opinion of all the maltsters with w hom 11 ; had had the opportunity of communicating, that dy system of certificates would, if properly modifie.' answer instead of the numerous regulations now 1 . 11 operation. The Hon. Member then briefly rear r c at ir io cu o nl o i tulated the chief objects of his motion, and c°, ll ; eluded by expressing a hope that the result Is a committee would be to give to the Exchequer d better revenue, to the poor a better beverage, sfl to the landed interest a better return for t h e ir pal" duce. He then moved that a select committee be appointed to inquire into the restrictions in the manufacture of malt, with a view to ascertain how they affected the middle and poorer classes. fir n The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQ: assured the House, that there was no part of h is duty more painful than that which obliged lii a°t° refuse motions, which though ostensibly for incitorY!.. must substantively lead to the reduction of taxation. If the object of the Hon. Member was to call W I . him to inquire into the several branches of this trad e ' with the view to remove or remodel such regula tion ! as might be found oppressive to those engage d ° d it, he assured him he would be disposed to lel., his best attention to the subject, and would eau give his assistance in removing any restriction which were not essential to the collection tb: duty, or the protection of the honest trader; bui the Hon. Member, though he had shown g rea t knowledge of all the details of this subject, consider that many of those regulations to whic h ; e d objected were not merely fiscal, but were sugge by a large portion of those engaged in the 08,16 with the view of protecting the honest trader 00, 1 . 1) 1 1 - the introduction into the market of malt , on l e o duty might be evaded, by the want of them. should also consider, that since there had be n s any revenue derived from malt, these reguto t t:,. had been in existence. It was not quite ' o . 4 ' then, to attribute the decrease in the con sl l,',: t tion of malt to the operation of such causes. in other respects, the Honourable Member wi ts mistaken, in ascribing the fact, that the e 0:, sumption of malt had not increased in proportionti!. the increase of population—to the increase of the te/4 on that article. He would readily . idgliC to the Hon. Member, that the taxing of any article of eon sumption to mote than it could bear, tended to de-, crease the . consumption of that article. Thin,W., ll , 9 an evil of taxation which co u ld no t be pr eventeo but while he admitted this, he must remind the Hon. Member that there' were other causes 'to which the non-increase of consumption of malt in proP° P tion to the increase of population must be attribu ted. The Hon. Member would find, if he looked to other ch articles of consumption, the use of many of whi ' had been exchanged for that of malt, that its in crease bore a proportion to the increase of poptili' , tion. Tea, for instance, the consuMpt;on of whim , in the year to which the Hon. Member referre, (1787) was 6,233,000 pounds, while in 1823 (the.; last return that he had seen) it was 28,000,000 9.1.. pounds. The Right Hon. Gentleman then wer,!, on to shew that to the increased consiimption'oA tea, coffee, and wine, each, which was, to a cert ain _ extent, and amongst certain classes, made a substit u t7 l ! for malt liquor, the non-increase of the consurnPt.,iee of the latter must be attributed. Much of thi s e b ale of the article of consumption depended oPc in fa i and fashion, the result of which could not be g ust the against. As to the Hon. Member's objeeti b P s T ro alt . condensation of the forty Acts on the subject o into one, lie thought that so far from censure, Right Honourable Friend the Master of the MS' (Mr. Herries) was entitled to much piaise for hair l .",,7 taken the pains to reduce that ill-digested mass regulation into one intelligible Act. The o°,l Member had adverted to the tax on beer, 'i ll s wished for its reduction. Now any reduction that article which would have the effect of gill, any sensible relief to the consumer, would bestif;--, a loss of revenue as the country was not in a coon, tion to afford. The small reduction of one fal 3 t l .' ll 1n a pot of porter would not be any relief vi oi i a" i naming to any class, and yet even that small. serit would create a diminution of revenue to the alfi'sin'a `e. of 600,000/. a year. As to the question of duty , licences, it was more a matter of p o lice than of r it venue, and was a point on w hi c h he did not e n , necessary to touch. The moti o n of the Hon• i ve- bi htoerkel. w ould l up dg oto the reduction of a duty the 10 g 0..-ki. a large portion of the revenue, which was neee s . - t credit,thepu blicit. and he therefore 71 „ 60' Mr. MONCK said that the beer trade, 25 himself bound to oppose regulated, was certainly a most extraordinary 1;ot maly. There were three classes of brewers, e' e n ' pt i which was obliged to use distinct apparatO: We !at° class brewed strong beer, hnt h; sy 4i o riot a llo.o : brew "interinediate,i or small beer. The b re7 4 of the intermediate was not allowed to brews tc fro lai beer, and the small beer brewer was p r evented 1 7 he brewing either of the two other sorts. asked, should this absurdity be allewed t o contig e d and why not end them all at once, by putting a duty on the malt, and then let every one brew f a ' t he pleased? He would entreat the attention 0 ' country gentlemen to this subject. Mr. W. SMITH said, that if the result of t he Committee had no other effect than loy enco lo4 , l of. the consumption of malt liquors to decrease th s " o 4 well worth the attention of Government . spirits in London, it would be most important; I sl.' Sir 4. )vR9ITgsi. , PY . edn(ielireti that the r ot rnoviirof tie present regulated duty at the least its alteration, would be productive ° f a ., equivalent advantage to the revenue by the pr o p o f inducement held out to the manufacture he malt to increase the quantity of barley m alted. .

else, in the same way as it had been determined to act with respect to the corresponding officer in the department of the customs. Rewards as respected these high officers were to be dispensed with. Mr. EDWARD DAVENPORT regretted the Mail brewers were liable to such severe penalties under the existing excise laws. This required exa n'instion and revision, for they were, as a body, enainently conducive to the convenience of the public. Lord MILTON had reason to be convinced that the effect of the restrictions imposed by recent Acts of Parliament on maltsters, was to induce them to o" uPs at least s i nce t h e A ct of 1827, the trade manufacture of malt. Mr. SLANEY, in reply, insisted strongly on the necessity of adopting the suggestions which he had submitted to the House, more particularly as the duties affected barleys of different growths, and as respected the permission to sprinkle malt. By the Present regulation as to sprinkling, it was proved that one-fifth of the saccharine matter was lost in the p r ocess pri or to an d d ur i ng t h e b rew i ng. After, ho . wever, the pledge which had been given by the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, to direct his at tention to the minutiae of the subject, he should content himself with the benefit the public was likely t o receive from the circumstance of this pledge being extracted from the Right Hon. Gentleman to o nsult its i nterests, and he should therefore de clineo pr ess the subject further, and beg leave to wthdraw his motion. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. MANUMISSION OF SLAVES. Mr. WILMOT HORTON begged to know whether there had been any recent order issued from the Co lonial-office , relative to the manumission of slave s in the colonies ' of Berbice and Demerara; and also to ask whether, If there were any such or derissued, the Right Hon. Secretary for the Colo .ies would have any objection to accede to the mo- tion he was about to make for its production. I to th Sir G. MURRAY should make no opposition h is h e productio n of su c h a d ocument if it were i n productio n tMr. WILM OT HORTON said his object was o bring the su bje ct of the manumission of slaves in W the West Indi es b efore the House, in a manner which ould enable it to decide on the propriety of its in terference with the executive on so important an °hject. T he Right Hon. Member then moved for It c °l 3 y of the Order in Council respecting the ma mission of slaves in Demerara and Berbice, which l 'ad been issued since the examination of evidence tl Pon that subject before the Privy Council. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. Sir J. NICHOLL moved for leave to bring in a till to regulate the duties, s a l ar i es , an d emo l u - Men ts of officers in certain Ecclesiastical Courts in England. f M r, PEEL was glad that on e so ena bl e d b y pro e'''°nal experience and ability as his Right Hon. and Le arned F r i en d, h a d ta k en up the sub j ect of the duties and r emuneration of the officers in the Eccle siastical Courts. After a few words from Dr. PHILLIMORE, leave was then given to bring in the Bill. BULL-BAITING. b i4r. C. PALLMER moved for leave to bring in Mr. to prohibit the practice of bull-baiting. GORDON objected to the Bill. 'r.. W. SMITH supporte d t h e Bill. Mr. C. PALLMER was sorry that he was in audible when stating the ground on which he was ticluced to bring forward the present measure. In ! 822 , an Act was passed against cruelty to animals 's whi c h t h e. " bull" was strangely omitted. The consequence of this omission was, that a person lailty of cruelty to that particular anim a l cou ld not e puni s h e d • till the omission was remedied, arid that * lts the object of his present Bill. L Mr. PEEL thought the Hon. Member for Surrey better, if he meant to remedy the defects of the t zilting law; have brought forward a more general Iden ti ttsure. There were many animals to protect as as bulls,—there were bears also—(a n laugh)lh— were made the subj ect o f cruel pastime. Why t , i an did not th e lion. Gentl eman extend h i s Bill acts of cruelty against bears and badgers ?—(A ls ugo.)--Ile „was p er f ec tl y ser i ous, and did not in 'entimsily provoke laughter. Why not prevent cr uelty to th ose an i mals as well as to bulls. Why not, anthe same principle, punishthe equally cruel and cold blooded a musement of pigeon-shooting ?—(Hear, hear.)--Why notrotect lions ? Were not the P feeli ngs of the public as much offended by a b aiting of lions as they were by bull-baiti ng ? recent (He ar.)..--In a word, should riot the measure be general, impartial, and consistent,—or the means of checking all be equally left to the improved habits sod opinions of the people ? There ought to be tome principle laid down for legislation : otherwise, Cession aftei session, the House might be called tpon to entertain similar measures. Upon the question that leave be given to bring in the Bill, the House divided— Ayes ................. 28 I Noes 73 Majority against the introduction of the Bill, 45. BUCKINGHAM PALACE. Lord LOW THER moved the committal of the (land Revenue Bill. On the House resolving itself into a Committee, Lord ALTHORP inquired whether there was 4 hy estimate of the expences which would be in curred in the repairs of Buckingham-house ? Lord LOWTHER replied that the last estimate teas before the House. , J. WOOD called the attention of the House ‘0 the clause in the Bill, for if it passed in its pre tlstit state it Would lead to an unlimited expenditure. 1e: 25 was ue t o , when it was proposed to apply the surplu s . t t h h e at rebuilding of Buckingham-house, it stand'stite'd a part of the old materials would c e an d an estimate was given in of a sum riot ex the Ing 252,6904 as sufficient for the purpose. In f recourse of last year a Committee had been called b°ol(titi consequence of the unsightly appearance of the r ev n g; and an advance was made from the land rilor enue in order to allow the building to proceed it a : ra Pidly. From the report of that Committee , 4 ,ePeared that there was no security against t h e tq tuba._ jb te, being exceeded to an unlimited extent, for tt nine last year, the architect stated that the sum sli o e4 „ d ed amounted to 432,9261.—(Hear.)—He seaii i -i i t ed. that so f ar f rom th e o ld ma t er i a l s b e i ng sf o ' n 'they e, had produced only the paltry sum on He (Mr. Wood) wished to see the fri egrsitTl.l* suitably lodged ; but he complained of been°ntr° it n . money in this manner, without o " f 9l ia i rliamelit, especially when , it had 4 t r ', l a vished on w h at was a monument of bad taste. t he w a sh stat e d t h at 50, 00 0 / . h a d b een e xp en d e d o n that which had proved useless.

The alteration in respect to the P g a had th a t taken place from its being deemed better h buii i n le Y should stand at a distance. How . f r a e rt tr s i• g Would eventually satisfy the 401uni " intecture he could not tell ; different individuals entertained different opinions. There were few persons who did not admire the buildings in Regent street ; yet durn,g the progress of the work, not a month passed bout some witty and poignant re marks on those buildings.—(Hear.)—All he asked was, that persons would not be too hasty in judg ing what the general appearance of the building would be. Mr. BANKES lamented the haste with which the work had been begun, which prevented the dis covery that the project *of altering the old building was hopeless, until considerable progress had been made. A splendid palace might have been built in a better situation, at less expense than had been in curred. Take the building on either side, take it in front, flank, or rear, the spectator could get no po sition in which the view could gratify him.—(Hear.) Mr. KEMP expressed himself not unwilling to grant a farther advance of money, though it was im possible not to find fault with some part of the work. Mr. A. BARING objected very much to the manner in which Parliament had been treated through out this transaction. In the first place, it had been discovered, by the merest accident, that 250,000/. which had been placed in the hands of commissioners, under the French treaty, for the most sacred purpose, that of liquidating claims which British subjects had upon France,—had been handed over to the Com missioners of Woods and Forests, to be applied to a very different purpose. A more discreditable transac tion was never known or heard of. (Hear.) That cir cumstance was kept concealed from the sight of Par liament for nearly two years, and then chance brought it to light. What, he would ask, was the cane in the present instance ? Why they had now discovered, and again by the merest accident, that the Noble Lord, in a ~Bill for consolidating the laws relative to the revenue derivable from his Majesty's woods and forests, had introduced a clause authoriz ing the expenditure of an immense sum of money, the produce of those lands, on the same object which had already swallowed up the 250,000/. which had been given up by the Commissioners for the adjust ment of claims on France.—(Hear, hear.)—That Bill might have passed without observation, and no person have known that 440,0001. or 450,0001. ad ditional (for such was the sum stated by the Noble Lord), taken from these revenues, had been applied to the building of Buckingham-palace. He should like to know from the Noble Lord, whether that sum of 450,000/. would be sufficient. [Lord Lowther intimated that he had not stated that the sum of 450,0001. which might be derived from the woods and forests, after other charges were met, must necessarily be applied to the purpose alluded to.] Well, then, would the Noble Lord be good enough to state what sum it would be necessary to raise for finishing this palace ? Was it meant to return the 250,0001. that had been advanced by the Com missioners under the treaty with France ? and what further sum would be requisite for completing this project ? Lord LOWTHER said, the Hon. Member was not correct when he stated that a new clause, a clause unknown before, had been introduced secretly into this Bill, for the purpose of raising money for finishing Buckingham-house. The Bill only con tained a clause which was contained in an Act passed some years ago, and which, amongst other matters, provided for the appropriation of the sur plus of the land revenues towards the expenses in curred in erecting the new palace. He utterly de nied that the clause was secretly introduced. There was nothing whatever surreptitious in the proceed ing. The Act to which be alluded was passed in the year 1825, and the present clause was intended to sanction the principle recognized in it, by which the surplus derived from the land revenues was made applicable to the payment of expenses incur red by the building of the new palate. He was asked, what money had been expended :on Buck ingham-house, and what the total expense was likely to be ? Up to the 14th of February, he believed the expense had been 346,000/., and the last esti mate given in by the Building Committee was 432,000/., as the sum which would complete the edifice. The Commissioners of Woods and Fo rests, he might be allowed to observe, had no con trol over this expenditure. The accounts were sent in by the Board of Works, and the Commis iioners of Woods and Forests paid them. Lord MILTON said, it appeared, from what he could understand, that there was no control what ever. The charges came from the Board of Works, and the Commissioners of Woods and Forests were bound to pay them ; and in a report made to the House on the 3d of April, 1828, it was thus stated, " Your committee understand that the Board of Works have no control over this expenditure." Lord LOWTHER—The Board of Works have no control over the designs, but it is their duty to measure what is done, and to see that the charge is correct. Mr. A. BARING was not aware that a clause of the nature of that on which he had animadverted had been inserted in a pre-existing Act of Parlia ment. Mr. D. W. HARVEY observed, that this pro perty was treated as if it were exclusively the pro perty of the Crown ; but arrangements had been made, confirmed by Acts of Parliament, which made it as much the property of the public its any other fund at the disposal of that House. They ought, therefore, to bear in mind that this was part of the Ways and Means of the country, and was perfectly applicable to the exigencies of the State. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the money given up by the French Commis sioners to the Woods and Forests was secured on the revenue of the Crown. It was to be repaid with interest, whenever the claims were proved. That was the condition on which it was lent. The land revenue, he admitted, had by an agreement entered into with the Crown, become public pro perty—(hear, hear)—and it never was the object or intention of Ministers to raise a palace for his Ma jesty at the expense of the private funds of the Crown. But seeing that it was necessary to build a palace for the King, they had made application to that particular fund to which the present Bill referred. Sir B. H. INGLIS inquired, whether it was in tended to throw a bridge over the canal in St. James's Park. Gentlemen going to that House had formerly found the bridge, which had been erected there, extremely convenient. Mr. PROTHEROE was of opinion that a car riage-road should be opened from Storey's-gate to Buckingham-gate. Mr. P. THOMSON complained that there was no controul whatever over the expenditure in the building of this palace. With respect to the 250,0001. borrowed, as they were informed, from the Commissioners appointed to settle the claims on France, lie had always thought, and he still thought that it was one of the most unjust acts ever com mitted by any Government. Mr. J. WOOD said, if his Majesty's Govern ment would give him an assurance that the sum of 432,0001. would cover all the expellees of the pa lace, then he would withdraw his opposition—a sum which exceeded by 180,0001. the estimate of 1825 ; if they 'would rick, then' he would take the sense of the Louse pig the ClpSe altogether, Lord MILTON ipluired,, whether it was in-,. tended to open a carriage way from Storey's-gate to Buckingham-gate. Lord LOWTHER said, that according to the plan, it was intended that buildings should extend from Storey's -gate to Buckingham-gate; but that project had not been yet commenced. Lord MlLTON—Although those houses are not yet in the progress of being built, that is no reason for not throwing the gate open. The nulPillYwas'ffroCeeding to read the Bill, paragraph by paragraph, when Mr. J. WOOD intimated, that his objection was directed solely against the clause contained in page 56, which related to the appropriation of the sur plus funds to the expense of building Buckingham palace, and requested him to proceed to that clause. The CHAIRMAN having read the clause, Mr. WOOD said'he - was willing 'riot to confine Ministers to the sum of even 432,000/.; and if, in stead of 432,0001. they would pledge themselvi that the whole sum from first to last to be taken from the annual land revenues, to defray the ex penses of the palace, including furniture and every other item, should not exceed half a million of money, he would agree to it, and withdraw his op position —olear, was giving them 68,0001. above the last estimate, and 250,0001. above the estiinn'e of 1825. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could give no pledge as to the furniture, since it had never come under official consideration. He -had no objection, however, to place a limit on the expenses of the building.—(Hear.) Lord A LTHORP conceived, that since the Right Hon. Gentleman had assented to the principle of placing a limit on the expense, there could be no ob jection to allow him time to ascertain what that ex pense might amount to. He wished to know, with respect to the Bird-cage-walk, why that was not made an open road, as Parliament and the public had been led to expect ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had never given any pledge to that effect, nor was he aware that any had been given. Mr. KEITH DOUGLAS said, the opening of the Bird-cage walk would be productive of great convenience to the public. Mr. J. WOOD said, that on the understanding given by the Chancellor of _the Exchequer, that he would take an opportunity to ascertain the amount of the estimate required for the finishing of the palace, he (Mr. Wood) would withdraw his amend ment. Mr. MABERLY contended that a pledge had been given that the Bird-cage walk would have been made an open carriage-way, and it wai not acting fair towards the public not to redeem that pledge. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated that he had given no such pledge. Mr. MABERLY said, such a pledge had been given to Parliament by the predecessor of the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mr. BARING argued that the Government were bound to redeem the pledge which had been con fessedly made to Parliament, respecting the opening of the Bird-cage-walk. Sir R. INGLIS argued to the same effect. Sir R• WILSON adverted to the narrowness of the carriage way in Stratford-place, and imme diately adjoining Buckingham -gate. It was such that persons were in danger of being run over, and it should be remedied. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, when they went to build a palace for the Sovereign, they ought to have erected one worthy of the Sovereign, and in a situa tion where he could reside. Now Buckingham palace was surrounded by a crowd of houses. The Sovereign could not reside there without being, on the one hand, annoyed by the smoke of • brewery; and the could not walk out in his garden, particu larly in a white coat or small-clothes, without being blackened by the smoke of the neighbouring houses. —(A laugh.)—The palace ought to have been made what it ought to be, even if it had cost mints of money. He had brought forward a motion last Session respecting the 250,0001. appropriated out of the French claims. He now undertook, on the part of the public, that he would see that sum either restored to the public or the French claimants, After a few words from Mr. FYLER, Lord Low- THER, Sir R. INGLIS, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the House resumed, the chairman re ported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday next. JUVENILE OFFENDERS' BILL. On the motion of Mr. E. DAVENPORT, tile House went into a committee on this Bill. Mr. CRIPPS said that many parts of the Bill were objectionable. Mr. DAVENPORT merely wished the Bill to pass through this stage pro forma. Mr. PEEL had no objection to see the Bill in its most amended state, and therefore he did not wish to oppose this course. Sir E. CARRINGTON thought that every clause of the Bill involved some difficulty. Mr. NIONCK admitted that the clauses of the Bill were liable to objections, but fully concurred in the principle on which it was founded. Mr. WESTERN (as we understood) supported the measure. Mr. FERGUSSON thought the object of the Bill good, and was inclined to give the Hon. Mem ber every credit for his praiseworthy intentions. At the same time it was necessary that the Bill should be materially altered in its details. Mr. SYKES supported the measure, and said that the only alterations necessary would be very easily made. After a few words from Mr. E. DAVENPORT, the House resumed.—Report on Monday. On the motion of M. G. DAWSON, the Life An nuities Bill was read a third time, and passed. Mr. BYNG moved that the County Bridges Bill be now read a second time. Mr. JONES expressed his decided opposition to the Bill. Mr. BANKES said, that if no other person would propose the necessary alterations in this Bill, he would. Mr. F. LEWIS was so strongly convinced that it was impossible, by any alteration, to make this bad bill a good one, that he should at once propose that the Bill he read a second time this da) six months. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, when the numbers were— For the Bill 5 Against it. 37 . _ Majority - - The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past One. rf OF THE MINOI [OTION FOR A BILL TO BAITINC, Astell, W.

We understand a deputation, consisting of Mr. WARD, M.P., Mr. PowLEs, Sir ROBERT WILSON, M.P., and four other Members of Parliament, waited yesterday upon Lord ABERDEEN, for the purpose of en deavouring to show the propriety of the Government using their best offices with the Court of Madrid, to induce it to acknowledge the independence of Mexico and the new South American States. It was stated, on the part o'4 the deputation, that the present policy of Spain had the effect of keeping the new Republics in a constant state of alarm End turmoil ; and thus preventing them from settling down into any thing like regular Governments. It was alsti added that there was reason to believe that VERDI NAND was about to send an expedition against Mexico. Ta these observations his Lordship replied, that the beat Offices of the 6overiament had been already employed with the Court of Madrid in favour of the new States, but without effect; and that the Government thought no good could arise from any further interference. As for the reported expedition, his Lordship observed that he had no intima tion of it ; and, if there had been any truth in it, ha thought that such would not have been the case.

PARIS, Moe Io.—The refusal of the Duke de Laval Montmorency to accept the Department of Foreign Affairs is no longer a secret to any body. It must have cost this noble person a great effort not to accept the post to which the King had called him with peculiar goodness. A mo• desty which is very rare in these times has caused him to see nothing but difficulties in the task which he would have had to fulfil. The motive which has induced this resolu tion deserves the greatest respect. The telegraph had announced the day before yesterday, that the courier who brought the answer of the Duke de Laval had passed through Strasburg. The courier had arrived yesterday afternoon. The determination of the Duke de Laval was known yesterday evening in Paris, and the Messaper pretended that no courier had arrived from Vienna at the moment when the Paper went to press. Yesterday evening the Ministers had an extraordinary council, after which they sent new despatches to Vienna, in the hope of inducing M. de Laval to withdraw his re fusal, announcing to him that it had not yet been accepted. Attempts at insurrection have been made in the midst of La Vendee, in one of those towns which have always been an exception among that loyal population. A tri coloured flag was set out in the roarket-place of Cholet a few days ago. The King's Attorney-General is endea vouring to discover the guilty. The Gazette of Genoa announces that Count Guillensi not is gone to Rome, and would soon return to Naples, to embark for Constantinople. Letters from Gibraltar of the 23d of April announce that the Austrian squadron has for the third time sailed from Algesiras to Tangier. The number of tickets of relief distributed in Paris is 152,000. The bearers of these tickets are entitled to re ceive bread at the price of four sous (2d.) per pound. (From the Moniteur ofSunday.) LEGHORN, APRIL 22.—Letters from Malta announce that Admiral Malcolm left that island on the Ist of April, with his whole squadron, for Naples, where he will take on beard the French and English Ambassadors, and convey them tr Constantinople. The Russian men-of-war lately at Malta had sailed for the Archipelago. The Florence Gazette states from private letters, that the Greeks had declared the whole coast occupied by the Turks from Missolonghi to Murto, in a state of blockade. The Russians continue strictly to blockade Candia. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. ... ..... 87% 6h 3 per Cent.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1829. Mr. C. PALLMER, the enlightened Member for Surrey, moved last night in the House of Com mons, for leave to bring in a Bill for the purpose of patronising bulls, and extending to them that same protection which the Legislature affords all other animals. We are no advocates of inhumanity, but we cannot help thinking that the Hon. Member's motion is one of those to which Mr. BURCHELL'S description of Lady Blarney's and Miss Carolina Wilhellmina Skeggs's accomplishments, may be very safely and satisfactorily applied, viz.—that it is mere fudge, is without meaning, and of no earthly use, except as it affords a sample of its author's legisla tive capabilities. The practice of bull-baiting is now—as Mr. GORDON truly observed in reply— nearly exploded. In the West of England it is un known, and even in those parts where it is most in vogue, it is accompanied by no such excessive cruelty as should call, for its peremptory suppression. The legitimate sports of the people, sanctioned by the usage of ages, should at all times be approached with caution ; and bull-baiting in those counties where it still exists, being one of those, and one, we repeat, unsullied by any great inhumanity, we cannot but deprecate interference with it. But why should Mr. PALLMER confine his patronage to bulls ? Why not extend it to other animals, cats for instance, and immortalize his senatorial sagacity by the intro duction of a Bill to prevent the inconsiderate youth of our . different public schools from shoeing them with walnut-shells ? A very pretty immortality may be derived from this source, and one more likely to hand down the name of PALLMER to posterity than even his diatribes against Catholic Emanci pation. The Allgemeine Zeitung to the 14th inst. received this morning, in an article dated from Smyrna, states that important events both in Persia, and on the frontiers of Russia and Turkey, may be soon ex pected. The same Journal mentions, that tie lute severe scarcity of bread in Ve - ,,Aai,a4tinople has been put an e; , ,d to by the fortunate arrival of several European ships from the Archipelago, with large supplies of corn, rice, and pulse. The , 4VI• - nt•T was very active in his encleayours to cal,m, the og4ation of the people',s minds SAMiNs, Amp. —Commerci3l letters from Bagdad of the beginnin g of March, the contents of which are also confirmed by travellers from that country, give reason to expect important events both in Persia and on the frontiers of Russia and Turkey, where General Paskewitach has the chief command.

We are here very impatient for the next accounts from B rgilad, and the Turks flatter therriseises that war between Persia and Russia is inevitable. VIENNA, MAY I.—The Austrian Observer has an article, dated Constantinople, 12th April, which says:— " The scarcity of bread had towards the close of the Ra madan caused some tumults about the bakers' shops, on account of the great crowds, especially of Turkish women of the lower class. During that time the Sultan shewed himself almost every day in different quarters of the city, even in Pera, sometimes quite alone without any suite or guard, sometimes accompanied by a few of his courtiers, viewed with Iris own eyes the assemblages about the bakers' shops, and directed various measures for the restoration and maintenance of tranquillity. The Government al ready thought it would be necessary to have recourse to the measures which have often been ordered, and again de layed, of sending away a great number of Greek, Ar menian, and Jewish Rayne and their families. In fact some hundreds of them had removed from Constantinople to Asia, when the arrival of several ships laden with corn from Sinope, Samsure, Amasserah, Trebizonde, and other Turkish ports in the Black Sea, which brought above 100,000 kilos of corn, and the arrival at the same time of several European ships from the Archipelago with large supplies of rice and pulse, put an end to the embarrass.. ment of the Government. But what has most contri buted to quiet people's minds, and to obviate future fears, is the resolution taken by the Porte, at the suggestion of Tahir Bey, formerly Superintendant of the Customs, a man well versed in commercial affairs, in consequence of which the trade in provisions is declared to be free, and every body who shall bring to the capital flour, corn, rice, oil, and other necessaries of life, which were formerly a monopoly of the Government, is no longer hound to de liver them into the 'public magazines, bat may dispose of them at his own discretion, without any restriction. The publication of this resolution has excited general joy in a degree that it would be difficult to describe ; and the wholesome effects of this important measure were immediately apparent, as large quantities of rice, flour, and corn were brought to market, and offered for sale at very moderate prices. Meantime we learn that Admiral Ricord has lately extended his blockade of the Dardanelles to the south coast of Rumelia, as far as the Gulf of Contessa, and stopped several lonian ships that were going to enter the free ports of Enos and Saros. As this extension of the blockade is hot founded on any public notice, it is hoped that it will not have any farther result." VIENNA, MAT 1.-Metalliques, 98 ; Bank Shares, 1,103. The French Papers possess little interesting or important intelligence. The Gazette de France says " the refusal of the Duke de LAVAL MONTMO RENCY to accept the Department of Foreign Affairs is no longer a secret to any body. It must have cost this noble person a great effort not to accept the post to which the KING had called him with peculiar goodness. A modesty which is very rare in these times has caused him to see nothing but difficulties in the task which he would have had to fulfil.

Nothing of the least public interest occurred this morn ing, either in the Vice-Chancellor's or Exchequer Courts. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. CHILD V. ♦FFLECK. This was an action by a servant against a master for a in giving her a character. It was tried before Lord, Tenterden, and the plaintiff nonsuited. Alto tvi trial,. K e I nL Ytry. Ihnteowg appearedrmo u o n v ( ed for t the rule pa t questions ~rt) had ), c anrorau not ot : , e e ce nfi Chilned, had been recommended to Mrs. Affieck, who had a good character with her. The plaintiff left her at the end of four months, when another person, Mrs. Seaman, who had applied to Mrs. Affleck for her character, received in an ,wer a letter, in which was the libel complained of, and which stated, " that she had been creditably informed, that after leaving her service, she had been and then was a prostitute at Bury." An action was brought upon this letter which was brought in evidence. It was also proved, that the defendant had told other persons, that she would hinder the plaintiff from getting another situation. Persons were called who had known the plaintiff from her infancy, and with whom she had lived pre vious to going to Mrs. Affleck, and Mr. Kelly contended that it was impossible for any young girl in her situation to otherwise disprove the allegation that she was a prostitute ; and he submitted, that if there had been Any truth in the statement, the defendant might have easily found a witness to the fact, or at least have procured the person from whom she stated herself to have heard it. The two questions which the Learned Counsel contended ought to have been left to the Jury were, first, whether the letter was a bona fide answer to the letter ad dressed to the defendant, answering it without straying from the inquiry; or, whether it did not infer ex press malice when coupled with the evidence. The Learned Counsel cited two cases in support of his appli cation, and wished to press the consideration of this ea,o on the Court, as the plaintiff, from her situation in life, would, upon the failure of this application, be unable to relieve herself from this ruinous charge. The COURT were of opinion that the defendant could not be called upon to prove the allegations contained in the letter, or to produce the person whom she stated had told her. They considered that the letter could not bear a presumption of express malice; as, if the plaintiff had behaved herself with propriety while in the defendant's service, she could easily have called some other of the de fendant's servants to her general behaviour. The Court thought, therefore, that those questions should not have been left to the Jury, and refused to grant the rule. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

Just previous to the rising of the Court, the SOLICITOR GENERAL rose to move, at the suit of Captain George Stephen Byng and Lady Agnes Byng, his wife, fur a crimi nal information against Remmy H. Sheehan and George Walker, the proprietors of The Star of Brunswick ; and also against B. R. Ellis and B. Alcock, the proprietors of The Warder newspapers. The Learned Gentleman said he grounded his motion en the joint affidavit of the com plaining parties, which affidavit he read, setting forth the articles which appeared in the respective papers, both of which had, in allusion to them, given currency to a report that a separation had taken place on the same evening on which they had been married, in consequence of a disco very having been made that a criminal intercourse had previously existed between Lady Agnes Byng and a young married Nobleman, who had been attached to Lord Artgle sea's Court, which circumstances they utterly denied ; and in confirmation of which denial, they accounted for every day, by stating the various places at which they had spent their time, always t oge th er , s i nce t h e d ay of their marriage. The affidavit also stated the deponent to be lieve that Lord Errol was the young Nobleman alluded to. An affidavit of Lord Errol was also read, in which he deposed to his belief, that the parties alluded to in the re spective newspapers, as having been so separated, w ere Captain and Lady Agnes Wag, and that he wealthy young Nobleman who was referred to, and inferred to have had a criminal intercourse with the lady provioui to her mar riage, which insinuation and charge he said was false, scandalous, and malicious. - The SOLICITOR-.GINZIAAL said he had the necessary affidavits from the stamp-office, stating the persons against whom he moved to be the proprietors of the respective newspapers.

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. On moving the second reading of the Bill for the appointment of a new Equity Judge, the Lord :hancellor last night explained, as well the grounds upon which that measure is founded, as the general intention of the Go;;ernment with respect to the proposed alteration in the administration of justice. The present object of the Bill is simply to remedy aa evil, the existence of which has been complained of almost as long as the Court of Chancery has been established in this country—the accumulation of business, and the want of sufficient power to de spatch it. An ulterior effect of the Bill will be, to faci litate the separation from the Court of Exchequer of its equitablejurisdiction, in pursuance of the recom mendation of the Common Law Commissioners. His Lordship at the same time announced the intention of the Government to render the Rolls Court as effi cient as the other equity courts for the despatch of business, by providing for the Judge of the Court sitting in the morning, although (the state of Sir John Leach's health having rendered it impossible to communicate with him) the Bill contains no enactment to that effect. The other topics in his Lordsl4's speech are, however, of no less interest, for tl:e mere acceleration of the despatch of business in- court will be a very inadequate relicf to the suitors and the public, unless it shall be accompa nied the other alterations which have been so generally called for. The subject is undoubtedly dme of difficulty and delicacy, and deserves that efinsitferation which, according to his Lordship's intimation, it is proposed to give to it. His Lord ship seemed distinctly to feel, what indeed the pub intereits require, that the • Government should Tior pause in the course they have entered upon, until they should have accomplished all that the country expects at their hands.—Times. Tit:. state of the malt trade was brought before If.: use last night by Mr. Shirley. It seems sin k' that though the population in 1787 was only 7.-140,000, while in 1828 it was 13,500,000, the quaritn v of melt made in 1787 was greater by nao,floo quarters, than the quantity made in the year ending 1828. The restraints imposed on the maker of malt in the conducting the process, which Yr. Shirley described, could hardly be the cause of the diminution in the consumption of malt ; because, as ,v a c stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the same restraints existed in 1787 ehich existed in 1S - . - e,B. There is also much truth le what fell from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as to the change in the state of the country. Tea, in the period al luded to, had increased from 6,283,000 to 25,000,0001b5. The consumption of coffee had greatly increased. " Wine also had increased in general consumption, and had been adopted as tie. beverage of a class who formerly indulged in beer." But one of the most important alterations in the public taste, the flight Honourable Gentle man abstained from noticing—namely, the taste for spirits in place of malt liquor. " I will now call the attention of the House (said Mr. Slaney) to a more serious part of the sub ject—the injury to the Revenue, and the injury to the people. The number of spirit licenses, as appears by returns, has increased prodi. gion , iv, while the number of ale licenses has re• rnained nearly stationary. In 1807, the spirit licenses granted were 31,997; and in 1827 they had swelled to 42,590, shewing an increase of 11,000 in twenty years, while the increase of ale licenses in the same time is only 300. The augmentation in the quantity of spirits con sented was enormous during the same period, rising from twelve millions of gallons to twenty-four mil lions. The fact was that malt liquor, the native prodece of the country, was undersold in every part of the country by poison; it had found its way into every market town, and was making its way into ev.ery village ; spirit shops were set up where they =mere before unknown, and the inhabitants of the erittntry were becoming familiar with the dissemi nated poison." When Hon. Members declaim on the connection bet areen spirits and demoralization :Ind crime, it is but proper to remind them that they themselves force the spirits on the people, and zuv calv , e;, - of the crime. file people think spirits le;eaese Magistrates, under the dispensatiees of Par liament, have jobbed them out of their r.ralt In all populous districts, where it is worth weile to make a property of the people, there the magistrate and brewer contrived to convert the power of licensing into a monopoly in favour of the brewer, who laid the price of the monopoly on the consumers, and presented them with trash which they could not swallow. "At present (said Mr. Slaney) the grant of a license depends entirely on the discretion of the magistrates; they generally re fuse, and the exception is compliance." This re fusal converts the old licenses into property, and sa .. , s the foundation on which the brewers' monopoly le built, as every body knows. A man in London may be as fond of good malt liquor as one of Mr. Slaeey'e Shropshire men; but the public-house within his reach is the property of Mr. A, the brewer, the next of Mr. 13, the brewer, and the next of Mr. C, the brewer; and he must either drink what ;Messrs. A, B, and C, choose to give him, or drink nothing. The remedy is obvious enough; but Messrs. A, B, and C, are rich men, and the magistrates are on a good understanding with them, and (proh pudor !), as was proved in the county of. Surrey, have the meanness to allow themselves on licensing days to allow the brewers to provide their dinners. " After an inquiry before a Committee (said Mr. Showy), that matter might be put upon a fair foot, ice, for the general mde ought to be to grant the license, and not lo withhold it. Ido not pretend for a moment that licenses can be granted without effec tual regulations to prevent abuses ; but whelp a re spectable man is able and willing to enter into seett, cities to obey the regulations established, I think greater facilities ought to be afforded." It fortu nately happens that a few districts, from not being under jobbing Justices, we suppose, have hitherto obtained en exemption from what is significantly railed by the lower orders Justices' Juice—the liquid produced by the combined efforts of Justices and Brewers ; and the quality of the beer in these dis tricts, gives a standard by which to ascertain the injury caused elsewhere by the monopoly. " I will now point out (said Mr. Klanley) the dis tricts not under the control! of the brewers. — The first is re:note, extending from Wellington, through Exeter, to Darneeeple; the second is from Derby to Leeds ; and the third begins at Coventry, proceeds to Gloucester, Herefordshire, Stafford shire, part of Cheshire, all Wales, and I rejoice to be able to include the county of Salop, which may be looked upon as the centre of the genuine ale dia. trict of this country. There, out of 14,890 pub licans, 12,540, or six out of seven, brew at home. About five millions of people are supplied by between two and three hundred great brewing firms in three districts; there are 1,200,000 people in London suppiied by no more than thirty or forty extensive breweries, enjoying an extensive monopoly. The bad quality of die malt liquor in many districts where no competition exists is welt known ; I do not mention it ad invidiam, but it is a het which ought to be stated, that in proportion as ' people are poor and defenceless they are overlaid by multiplied and onerous duties. By the monopoly the rent of public-houses is thrown upon those who are not able to brew at home, and yet who cannot procure a wholesome beverage away from home." So much for cant about crimes, and so much for jobbing in licenses—a matter as to which Alagis frates are in good earnest.-31:orning Chronicle. Sir James Graham said the other night—" A debt qf - 800,000,0001. had been contracted in paper currency, and ice were attempting to pay it g c . in money, according to the ancient standard ;" and Sir James further said, " This lay at the baton: of all our difficulties." Now, in the first of these asser tions we do not agree with Sir James, for, we are not attempting to pay off the debt of 800,000,0001. in money, according to the ancient standard; nor are we, comparatively speaking, attempting to pay off the debt at all. IVe do not attempt to pay it off eeee in nener—for the paying off every year three or four millions of this debt is paying off little or nothing—it is hardly worth mentioning; besides, the holders of the debt do not ask to be paid off.— All that is done with respect to the debt is—the people pay taxes daily to the Government to the amount of 28,000,0001. a year, and as fast as the Government receive the money for the taxes, they pay the money into the Bank of England, and the latter pays 28,000,000/. to annuitants, in quarterly payments and, as the annuitants receive their pay ments from the Bank of England, they either invest them again in Stock, or they pay them to the trades people; so that no sooner is the 28,000,000/. paid in taxes to the Government, than the latter pay it again to the people, and thus the money is kept continually passing from one to another—it never stands still a moment, for even should the bankers get any part of it, they only keep one-third in their tills, the two-thirds they employ in dis counting bills of various descriptions. As to the quantity of gold that is wanted for the quarterly payment of the debt—it is only 7,000,0001. at the utmost—but we should think that the greatest ex tent of gold that is wanted by the Bank for the quar terly payment is, perhaps, nu 2,000,0001. Sir James is quite wrong in his assertion as to our at tempting to pay off the 800,000,0001. debt in a gold standard. There is no such operation going forward, and the only operation that we can see is the one we have stated. But even the payments of the taxes to the Government are not in gold, but chiefly in paper; or if the Government were to receive gold, they would immediately change it for paper, or send it to the Bank of England, so that it may be said that almost as soon as the Bank of England issues gold to the public for the interest of the debt, the public pay it back again to the Government in the shape of taxes, and the Government pay it to the Bank of England.—Alorning Herald.

GERMAN AND BUENOS AYRES PAPERS, ODEssA, Aran. 17.—Orders have been sent to Sebas topol to send 4,000 men to Poti, to reinforce the Russian army in Asia: the Turks in Asia are said to have received very considerable reinforcements. Admiral Greig sailed nn the 13th to Sebastopol, whence he will put to sea with the fleet, the destination of which is not known. An immense magazine is to be built, on the 15th of July, at the expence of the crown, as a depot for all the -upplies of the army. We expect here 300 camels for the service of the army. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 12.—Redselaid Pacha ar rived at Chumla on the 31st of March, and great rein- fixcements from Bosnia, Albania, and Macedonia, are ex pected there. From Asia troops are continually passing through Constantinople to the army in Bulgaria, where it is said the Turks will scum resume the offensive. Hussein PLclia has orders to do every thing to drive the Russians. from Sizeboli, who have thrown up strong works to defend this important position (in which they have a garrison of five thousand men). The Porte has received news from Trebizande of various ad vantages said to have been obtained over the Russians by its troops, in the provinces between the Black Sea and the Kur. The campaign in Asia was opened by the Turks, as soon as the mild weather set in. VIENNA, APRIL 30.—The .Austrian Observer con tains extracts from the Greek Bee to 24th Match, with a kulletin, dated Salons 14th March, which gives nearly word for word the same news that we had before of the progress of the Greeks on the Continent. Augustin Capo d'lstria embarked on 14th March, after addressing a pro clamation to the troops, to join Admiral Maulis. The Greek Bee contains several documents relative to the Convocation of the fourth National Assembly. —Aletalliques, 97-4; Bank Shares, 1,102. BUENOS AYRES, FEB. I4.—A dispatch from Colonel Isidoro Suarez, dated Palmilas, Bth February, announces the entire defeat of the force of Molina, who himself escaped with only 20 men. Among the prisoners was Colonel Mesa, the second in command (who being brought to Buenos Ayres) was tried by a court martial, and sen tenced to be shot for treason and rebellion, in having col lected the Indians to commit hostilities in the country, &c. He was executed on the 16t'a February. The Indians had been defeated by General Lavalle on the 21st January. FEB. 21.--The Peruvian Admiral Guise was killed by a cannon ball on 24th November, at Guayaquil, during an attack which the Peruvian squadron, under his coin mend, made upon that place, in which they succeeded in destroying several ves•=els, and effected other damage.

IL, cap. 27, for not reporting or en tering the arrival of a fishing-vessel at the Nore within three days, with the Collector of the Customs, as required by the act. There were several other cases of a similar kind, and much interest was excited, the penalty for a single violation of the Act being 501., without mitigation, and one person being liable .to punishment for the trans gression of another. The several cases were to have been heard before the LORD MAYOR; but his Lordship having been objected to, as a trustee and subscriber to the Marine Society, Alder man FAREBROTHER presided. Mr. Broderick stated, that the Legislature framed this act in consequence of the monopoly which existed in the London fish-market, it being the practice of the great fishing-boat owners to keep up the price of fish at an enor mous height by feeding the market according to their esti mate of the demand of the town. A market was opened, under the sanction of Government, in Westminster, and when that was found to fail for want of funds, a slight impost was levied upon fishing vessels at the Nore, and they were compellable to report and enter within three days at the Custom-house. Thus the public were secured against the operation of a very gross monopoly, and made acquainted with the prices which ought to be given for fish, from the knowledge of the quantity brought into London. In these cases the question was not whether the violation of the Act was likely to be attended with injurious conse quence, but whether the Act was or was not transgressed. In the 12th of Gen. 111., the charitable institution of the Marine Society was founded, and when the Westminster market was given up, the funds were transferred to that society. As in a great number of cases the Act was vio lated, it had been thought necessary to make a public ex ample, and some of the most flagrant cases were accord ingly selected. Upon the part of the defendants, one of whom was Mr. Westbury, the licensed victualler of Darkhouse-lane, it was urged that those informations had been got up merely for the purpose of sharing in the profits of the enormous penalties attached by an obsolete and unnecessary act of Parliament to the practice of delaying beyond the limited period, which practice was countenanced by the negligent mode of collecting the trifling sum paid for entering the vessels. It was described as being part of the system of oppressing and harassing, which had made its appearance so frequently against publicans and others for unconscious offences, and against which the magistrates of the city of London had never failed to set their faces. The strongest ground for relying upon this backwardness to take the evidence of common informers was to be found in the cir cumstance, that the public-houses in the city of London were, with scarcely any exception, conducted in the most reputable manner. The ALDERMAN dismissed all the eases, the evidence having failed in every one of them. We understand that there are between 40 and 50 infor mations to be heard on the Surrey side of the water, so that the penalties sought for are between 2,000/. and 8,000/. The Marine Society have no concern with the forthcoming eases. MARLBOROUGH.STREET. Yesterday a young man, named Edward Gibbons, who as been in custody some days on a charge of stealing some , rass ornaments, the property of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, was brought before Mr. CONANT, the Magis trate, fur final examination, It appeared that the prisoner was employed as a labourer at Apsley.house, in the new improvements there going on under Mr. Benjamin Wyatt, that he secreted several knobs of brass, which he knocked off from some old iron rails, the tops of which this brass ornamented, and he afterwards admitted to Mr. Fish, the clerk of the works, that he had taken them, and showed where they were concealed, under the grand staircase. The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and was fully committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Charles "Jou•les and William Galligue, journeymen weavers, charged on suspicion of having cut a quantity of velvet, the property of their employer, Mr. Walters, of Wilson-street, Finsbury, were to have been finally exa mined yesterday, but when the Magistrate (Mr. Baoucat- cosi) bad taken his seat on the Bench, one of the journey men's Committee requested, on the part of the defendants, that the examination might he postponed, Mr. Brutton, who had been applied to to defend them, being unable to attend. Mr. BROUGHTON said that the defendants, if they de sired it, should certainly have further time to procure legal assistance; but he informed the applicant that Galligue stood in a different situation to the other journeymen whose work had been cut; for not only his own work had been destroyed, but that of another man, named Orange, left under the protection of his roof ; and in that case, unless he had a good defence he would be committed, as if he had entered into another house and destroyed the wo: k. The applicant intimated that he was aware of the nature of the charge, and the case being adjourned till the end of the week, he thanked the Magistrate and retired. John Downes, who had been remanded, was afterwards placed at the bar with his wife Rebecca, a quantity of silk, the property of Messrs. Stone and Brooks, having been destroyed in his possession. The defendant and his wife, and an inf,nt which she had in her arms, were remarkable for the neatness and re spectability of their appearance, a very unusual eireuni stanee in these cases. The defendant said that on Tuesday night he had been to a shop-meeting, after which he returned home to bed, and between one and two in the morning several men came to his place, gained admittance by stratagem, and cut his work ; having pushed him into his room and confined him there while they did it. The defendant, it appeared, had given an alarm after the work was destroyed, and afterwards gave a very circum stantial account of the transaction to Mr. Hopley, the fore man of his employers. Mr. TWYFORD-Have you any thing besides your own assertion to show me that the work was destroyed in the manner you say? Did you make any resistance? Defendant I believed my life in danger. I was so alarmed that I could hardly stand. Mr. Tivvroan—Who was in the house besides yourself! Defendant—My wife. At a late period of the slay a witness named George An drews was produced, and in a manner which had every ap pearance of sincerity, stated, that he from his window had observed the proceedings of five men in Globe-fields, two of whom stood at the end of the court in which Dowries lived, while three of them entered the court, and went to wards his house. There was no passage through the court, and the witness had no doubt that the work was cut by those men. Mr. TWYFORD observed, that this was the first case in which there had been credible evidence produced in support of the assertions of the defendants; but the evidence here was very much in favour of the defendant, whom he ac cordingly discharged. James Cordell and Thomas Short, two young men who worked and slept together, were placed at the bar to account for the destruction of two looms of silk, worth 331., the property of Messrs. Tarrant and Co., of Steward street, Spitalfields. The cutting took place on Wednesday morning, although the defendants were not placed at the liar to answer for it till yesterday. - - - - Thomas Banks, Messrs. Tarrant arid Co.'s foreman, stated, that about half past five on Wednesday morning Cordell came to him and said, that the work had been de stroyed by four or five men, who forced in the door, and threatened that if he (lid not lie quiet in bed, and cover his head over, they would " cut him." The defendant told hint that he begged of the men not to cut his work, and said that lie was surprised they should cut it, as he was satisfied with the price he received. The witness went to the house about seven o'clock, and saw a woman standing there with a plate to receive money.from those who entered to rook at the cut-work. There were a great many people, men and women, most of whom gave something when they entered. Cordell, in his defence, said that about two in the morn. j o g he heard somebody at the door, and asked who was there? and was told " a friend." He replied, that he would not open the door for say body ; and was answered, if he did not they would break it open ; and the door wa/r forced open. Four or five men entered, and asked hire w ho he worked for? He said for Mr. Tarrant, of Steward stree;, pd begged of them not to cut his work. They told him if he did not lie still and cover his head, they would cut him. He and his companions were then c"!nf relied to cover themselves over with the bed-clothes, while the men cut their work. The defendant Short said that what Cordell had said was true. _ Being questioned by the Magistrate as to whether they alarmed their neighbours, or sought the assistance of the the defenda n t s sa id t h at w h e n th e me n had left then tliey went out, a n d t o ld their neighbours, and a watchman al 4 o, what occurred, but not to any police-officer. Mr. Garton, the chief constable, said, that to his know ledge there were a great number of officers constantly moving about the neighbourhood in which the defendants lived ; but if these parties of cutters were going about, they were never to be suet with, although the work was frequently cut; . ; ---t were under the very none of the officers. But the men, when aNked who these cutters were, or bow they went about to avoid being seen, laughed at the officers, and said that the cutters were angels. The defendants, after a lengthened examination, were remanded for a week, to give time for further inquiries, recognizances being taken for their appearance at that time. LT NION-H ALL. Yesterday Edward Nunn, the lad charged with at tempting to administer poison to Mr. Cook, the boot and shoe-maker, in the Kent-road, and his family, was brought up for final examination. The servant girl, in addition to her evidence, an outline of which was given yesterday, stated, that a few days pre viously to the discovery of the oxalic acid in the tea-kettle, the prisoner, while in the kitchen, asked her the following questions—namely, whether, if her master 'died suddenly, he (the prisoner) would be compelled to serve as the ap prentice of Mrs. Cook. The girl replied in the affirma tive, upon which he again said to her, " Suppose master and mistress were to be both taken off,' would I not then be free, and have my indentures cancelled ?" The girl replied, " that she did not know," and here the conversa tion dropped. In reply to Mr. CHAMBERS, the servant• girl stated that she did not communicate the purport of her conversation with the prisoner until after the discovery of the poison in the kettle, as she treated his questions as mere idle talk, never supposing that he harboured the thought of injuring the family. Mr. Skitt, the surgeon, attended, and gave evidence of his having analyzed a portion of the water taken out of Mr. Cook's tea-kettle, and found it to i.e strongly impreg nated with oxalic acid. On the depositions being read over to the prisoner, he cued incessantly, and before he was taken from the slip, declared his innccence of the charge, and that he was ig norant even of the place where the oxalic acid was kept in his master's shop. He was fully committed to the Assizes for trial. THE ARMY. (CIRCULAR.) War-Office, May 11, 1629. Snt,—l have the honour to acquaint you, that his Ma jesty has been graciously pleased to direct that the Officers cf Regiments which may-be stationed in quarters, shall be placed on the same footing in respect to the accommoda tion of a Mess-room, as the Officers of Regiments which are stationed in Barracks. I have accordingly to acquaint you, that when a Regi ment, or the reserve companies of a Regiment, are in stationary quarters for a period exceeding one week, in Great Britain or Ireland, the actual hire of a room fur the Officers' Mess-room, not exceeding two guineas a week, will be admitted all a charge in the Regimental accounts, and also a commuted allowance for coals and candles for the room, at the rate of nine shillings a week from the Ist of September to the SOth April, and at the rate of six shillings a week from the Ist of May to the 31st August. The charges for the hire of a Mess-room, which may be made in the Regimental accounts, agreeably to the above regulations, are to be vouched by the receipt of the proprietor of the room, and by a certificate from the Com manding Officer, spewing that the rate paid for the room is the lowest rate at which a proper room for the pur pose could be hired at the station. This Regulation is to take effict from the 25th Decem ber last, hut I have to add, that the expense for the hire of a Mess-room, which may have been incurred during the ear 1828 by a Regiment or Reserve in stationary Qua: , :ers, may be submitted for consideration. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, 11. HARDINGE. Regiment of Officer commanding (CIRCULAR.) War Office, May _ll, 1829. have the honour to inform you that the Esta blishment of the Staff of the Regiment under your com mand will, in pursuance of an Act of this Session of Par liament, be, from the 25th June next, reduced to the numbe .3 stated in the margin. The allowance which each individual member of the Staff, being a commissioned officer, is to receive on reduc tion. will be hereafter communicates' to yon. The Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital will apprize you of the day . when such Serjeants of your Regiment as are, by infirmity, absolutely incapable of performing the present duties of the Militia Staff, may appear before the Board, at Chelsea : but, of course, no vacancy will be filled up, until, agreeably to the intimation given in Lord Palmerston'. Circular of the 28th Sept. 1825, the deter mination of the Commissioners shall have been received. With regard to the Corporals who are to be reduced, I have the honor to inform you that a Clause has been intro duced into the Militia Pry and Clothing Act of the present year, providing that all Corporals who were serving as such at the la't disembodying of their Corps, and have since continued to serve uninterruptedly on the disembodied Staff, and who, reckoning former service in any rank, that of private included, can make up twenty years' uninter rupted service, after the age of eighteen, (or after the age of sixteen, if they were serving as drummers previous to the age of eighteen,) shall be placed on the pension of five pence per diem, although not rendered unfit for service. Personal appearance before the Commissioners of Chel sea Ho-pital will be dispensed with in the cases of these individuals ; but their discharges are to be sent—" To the Lords and oth, rs Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital," usder cover, " To the Right Honourable the Paymaster- General, Whitehall," acconip'tnied by a report of service (according to the enclosed form) corresponding with the statements in the discharges. I hese discharges, signed by the Colonel or Commanding Officer of the Regiment, and confirmed by the Lord Lieu tenant, or by two Deputy Lieutenants of the County, must contain all the particulars of the men's services, care fully detailed in the hand-writing of the Adjutant, to the accuracy of which details of aervice, age, Lc. the individuals must be attested on oath, before a Magistrate, in the pre sence of the Adjutant. The men presenting themselves at Chelsea, will there be sworn to the accuracy of the statements contained in their discharges. In all cases, the statement of service in the discharge is to be countersigned by the Adjutant, who must necessarily be held responsible for its accordance with the Records of the Corps : and I have to request that you will require the utmost vigilance on his part in verifying the service. In several instances, soldiers have, by means of erroneous and fraudulent statements, and erasures in the description book, been placed on pensions to which their actual ser vices did not entitle them ; it has in consequence been de termined, as a general measure, that the discharges of all men on the Pension List shall be compared with the Regi mental Muster Rolls. Any fraud in claiming a pension, either by false statements entered in the Regimental books previous to discharge, or in the discharge itself, renders the individual, under the Act of Parliament for the regu lation of Chelsea Hospital, as well as under the Mutiny Act and Articles of War, liable to forfeiture of pension ; and the parties assisting or participating in the fraud, are subjected, by the same Acts, to severe penalties. I have to add, that the Commissioners of Chelsea Hos pital will notify to you their decision upon each of the Cases recommended from your Regiment ; and as each Non-Commissioned Officer will be in the Receipt of Full Pay to the 24th June next, the Pension will commence on the 25th of the same Month. • ' The Disembeied Allowance granted to Officers on Re duction will also commence on the 25th June. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) H. lIARDINGE. To the Colonels of Regiments of Ablitia. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL.

We cannot allow the grand and astonishing results of the late experiments with Locomotive Carriages on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to pass, without once more calling the attention of our readers to the new prospects which open upon us from those experiments.— Wc have already expressed our sense of the very interesting and important character of the results which have been attained by the Locomo tive Engines : but this is a subject which ap pears the more important the longer and more attentively it is considered. We had intended to give several illustrations of the effects of this improved mode of conveyance, but this has already been so well done in articles.which we have extracted from the Scotsman and the Liverpool Times, that we need do little more than direct the attention of our readers to those arti cles. In mentioning the Scotsman, we should do to the Editor of that Paper an injustice if we did not remind our readers of the series of able papers which he wrote four or five years since on the capabilities of railways, and of which we made copious extracts in the _Hercur g . The calculations he then made of the speed which might be attained upon railways were ridiculed at the time, even by the engineers; we were always convinced of the substantial truth of those calculations, and their accuracy has now been fully established. Great credit is due to the Editor for the correctness with which he made his calculations, and the bold ness with which he followed them up to their results—grand and surprising as those results were. There is scarcely any more important means of advancing and perfecting the civilization of a country, than by a good system of internal com munication. The greater the facility of travel ling from place to place, the more active will be the social and commercial intercourse ; and the more ready the transmission of all the fruits of the earth and all the products of manufactures, the more rapid the communication of improve ments and inventions, and the more complete the dissemination of knowledge. Time is money in all operations requiring labour, and therefore a saving of time will be a saving of money. In every country there are tracts and situations which would be highly valuable but for their distance from towns and the more populous dis tricts ; by easy and quick modes of conveyance this disadvantage is overcome, and the most may be made of all the natural capabilities of the country. To a manufacturing country especially good communications are important : the supply of the raw material, and of the various commo dities necessary to the manufacture, is more quickly and cheaply obtained, and the goods are more quickly and cheaply sent to the home or foreign market. If railway conveyances should be extensively adopted in this country, we have no doubt that our manufacturers will derive im portant benefit from it in their competition with their foreign rivals ; their superiority will be still more decided than it is now, in the great branches of the cotton, the woollen, the linen, the silk, tire hardware, the cutlery, a►►d the earthenware manufacturers. The mere saving of time and money by the accelerated and cheap ened conveyance will make the difference of more than a profit on the goods. To the landowners the advantage will, if pos sible, be still greater—at least to those whose lands lie near the railways. The trifling expellee at which they will be able to send their produce to market, and to obtain manure, lime, &c., in re turn, will enable them to .dispense with the Con, Laws ; whilst the land in the neighbourhood of the railways will become of great value for build ing purposes. The merchants of Liverpool may now build their houses in the beautiful tract lying betwen Prescot and Woolton, or indeed half way to Manchester, far out of the reach of smoke, and yet run down to their counting houses in a quarter or half an hour after rising from the breakfast-table. For social purposes Liverpool and Manchester will be joined, and it will shortly be common for dinner parties in those towns to be composed indiscriminately of brokers and manufacturers, shippers and spinners. It requires no great stretch of imagination to suppose that the ladies of Manchester will ere long begin to make morning calls on their friends in Liverpool, and vice versa. It see - ins highly probable that in a'short time we shall travel on railways with ease at the speed of thirty miles per hour, and it is difficult for the imagination to foresee how great will be the changes produced by such a rate of conveyance. utp will, of course, be required to establish railways on the great lines of communication, and the utmost care should be taken to construct them on the best principles ; but the success of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and of the locomotive carriages upon it, renders it certain that this mode of conveyance will become general, and that the advantages which attend it will be realized to the community.—Leeds Mercury. - - - - THE MARKETS.

In the early part of the Nveek there was a moderate supply of Irish Grain, but the imports have since been very limited, particularly of Wheat. The storks of free Barley are increased 8,000 quarters, and those of Indian Corn 5875 quartet s, by the liberation of those quantities of foreign at a duty of 10s. 10d. per Imperial quarter. Owing to the scantiness of the farmers' deliveries during the last fourteen days, many of the country millers have been compelled to come to this market for their supplies; the consequence has been such a clearance of the New Wheat, that on Saturday there was scarcely a sample of Irish of good quality offering. New Oats have met with an equally brisk demand, nor have either Ohl Wheat or Oats been so entirely neglected as previously. Barleys are offering on lower terms, with a very limited sale ; sonic of the imports of his!' New are of good quality. Beans and Pease have each maintained previous quota tions. There are buyers of Bonded Flour at 225. per bar rel, and 28s. has been paid for small parcels for export. In other Lock Corn few transactions have occurred.— This morning's market was well attended by both town and country millers, and having only a very limited sup ply of New Wheats, such sold readily, at an advance of 3d. to 4d. per '7olb. on our quotations of this day se'n night ; Old was held at a similar improvement, but not much business transacted. Oats rather exceeded the cur rency of this day se'nuight, but 3s. Id. was with diffi culty obtained for the choicest parcels of New. We re duce our quotations for Barley 2d. to 3d. per 601 b. The value of Flour and Oatmeal remains the same as last noted. HULL MARKET.—Oct. 27. The supply of farmers' Wheat runs about the same, in point of quantity, as we have noticed for several weeks back ; the condition comes no better. All the best sam ples are taken at our top quotations by the millers as they are shown, while the middling soft parcels are exceedingly difficult to quit, even if offered at lower rates : the very finest samples of Old foreign maintain late prices, but the quantity of this description is very limited ; for secondary qualities we have very little demand, and to effect sales lower prices would be taken. In Oats we have very little doing, but on what is passing late prices are with diffi culty supported. Beans dull sale, and Is. to 2s. per quarter lower. Very little passing in Barley ; the best samples of good coloured New arc selling at 255. to 30s. per quarter, nothing doing in grinding parcels. Rape seed and Linseed without alteration.

EARLE. This case, the details of which were entirely-des -itute of public interest, occupied the greater-part of the morning in consequence of the extraordinary mariner in - which the defence was conducted ; the •lefendant, a gentleman of nearly 70 years of age, timing appeared in person. The action was brought by an attorney, of Liverpool, to recover the amount his bill of costs for business done for the defend- Int in a cause of " Menzes r. Rigby," in the Court , f Chancery. The demand was resisted on two grounds—first, that the plaintiff (Mr. Rowson) had neglected his duty as the defendant's solicitor; and, secondly, that he had improperly refused to continue the conduct of the cause, and abandoned it at a time when it was necessary to take an important step on the defendant's behalf. The reasonableness of the plaintiff's charges (which had been taxed) was proved, and there was no dispute that the business had been done. The defendant, in a very elaborate cress-examination of each of the plaintiff's witnesses, endeavoured to show that the plaintiff had not conducted the cause properly. Lord TENTERDEN was obliged frequently to check the defendant in his mode of cross-examining the witnesses. Finding him persist in putting improper questions to one of them, and justifying himself by saying that the, facts which he wished to elicit were material to his defence, his Lordship said, emphati• cally, " Then put your questions differently ; this cause must have an end, otherwise it will be like a Chancery suit."—(Great laughter.) The Defendant—My dear Sir, I will endeavour not to occupy more time than is necessary. In his address to the Jury, which occupied up wards of an hour, the defendant went into all the circumstances connected with the Chancery suit, but the Jury, without hesitation, found for the plain tiff—Damages 761. 6s. WOOD V. SMITH. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Cußwoon) stated, that this action was brought by Mr. Wood, a coachmaker, of Long-acre, to recover back from the defendant, a coal-merchant, at Hamp ton, the sum of 2.51., the price of a mare which he had sold to the plaintiff in January last, at which time she was unsound. There would, he believed, be no dispute about the unsoundness. The only question would be, whether or not the defendant, at the time of the sale, knew that she was unsound, he having stated, when the bargain was made, that she was sound " for any thing he knew to the con trary." Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2.5/. THE KING V. MATTHEW WHITE. This was an indictment charging the defendant with having converted to his own use certain Ex chequer-billi and Bank-notes, which had been depo sited in his hands by one Ann Hubert, as her agent, with a written order to invest the proceeds in Go vernment securities on her account. 54 Verdict—Not Guilty. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, OCT. 28. MURRAY V. NICHOLLS AND OTHERS. This was an action of false imprisonment, libel, and trover. In 1827, the plaintiff, a young gentle man, then about 19 years of age, and stated to be the son of a Magistrate in Ireland, had projected, in connection with two other individuals, the publi cation of an expensive work, consisting of a series of maps of the roads and inland navigation of Great Britain, towards which several subscriptions were obtained. About the same petiod the defendants, Messrs. Nicholls, Walker, and Priestley, were en gaged in a similar undertaking ; and having been introduced to Mr. Murray, they proposed to him to unite with them in carrynig on a joint work by sub scription. After some negotiation on the subject, it was agreed that Mr. Murray should become a partner in the work with Messrs. Nicholls, Walker, and Priestley, and receive a fourth share of the pro fits in consideration of his services, and furnishing a list of subscribers to the number of 1,000. In some time afterwards the defendants proposed to the plaintiff, as he was under age and therefore could not execute a deed of partner,hip, that he should for the prestmt act in the capacity of their agent, offering at the same time to remunerate him liberally for his services. This proposal he rejected, and went from Wakefield, where the defendants resided, to Leeds, retaining his subscriptions in his possession. The defendants sent an officer after him, who seized his luggage, having persuaded the book-keeper to de liver it up to him, and the plaintiff went on to Man chester without a change of dress. But this was not all ; for the defendants, Nicholls, and Walker, went before a Magistrate at Wakefield, where one of them having drawn up, and the other signed, a deposition, on oath, stating that the plaintiff had been in their service as agent, or canvasser, and had by that means become possessed of certain chattels or books of theirs, which he had feloniously em bezzled and converted to his use, the Magistrate upon such information issued a warrant for his appre hension, which was immediately dispatched after him to Manchester, where it was executed by a constable. The Magistrate having heard the nature of the ac cusation against him, ordered the plaintiff to be dis charged forthwith. No further proceedings were instituted against him, but the defendants circulated an advertisement through the country, cautioning the public not to give him any subscriptions, as he had, whilst in their service embezzled their hooks and run away, and stood at that time charged with felony. Ilia portmanteau, or any of its contents, had never been restored to him. Such were the grievances for which he sought redress in the pre sent action. The five first counts set forth the false imprisonment ; the three next, the libel contained in the advertisement; and the ninth was in trover, for the value of the trunk. The defendants suffered judgment by default as to all the counts, except the five first; to these they pleaded the general.issue. The Jury, after having retired for about half an hour, returned into Court, finding a verdict for the plaintiff, with 5001. damages against Nicholls and Walker, on the counts for malicious prosecution ; 3001. against the three defendants on the counts fur libel ; and 10/. against the three defendants, on the count in trover—making altogether the sum of 810/. damages for the plaintiff. A STORY NOT FOUND IN MUNCHAUSEN. —The old saying, that to save a liar you must tell a greater falsehood yourself, was recently illustrated in the following manner :—A Mr. T. was amusing some friends in a public room with the wonders of America, and stated that a few summers ago, pigeons flew over the town of Bal timore in such flocks, that the sun was sometimes darkened for hours, and they were sold in the market at 441. a thousand. Mr. T.'s hearers ventured to doubt the truth of the story, when a Mr. C. interposed, and said he per fectly believed the tale, for an equally extraordinary cir cumstance happened to himself. •' When I was a boy," said he, "my father's farm was regularly visited by my riads of crows, to the great detriment of seed, &c. When driven from one field, they went to another, and we never could pursue them further than an immense elm tree on the boundary. At last, I bought some bird-lime, with which I completely covered this tree, and contrived to di rect the flight of the intruders to their favourite retreat. I then fired ! when, alarmed by the report, they flapped their wings and soared, tree and all, completely out of sight, I never saw either of them or the tree from that day till this !" Even Mr. T. could not swallow this, but stared at 'he narrator, who replied, " Why, 1 believed poor story, and its ungrateful if yo❑ don't believe mine." POTATOEA. We insert a letter signed •' R. J." on the use of potatoes as food for the labouring poor. Its the opinion of the writer we very much coincide Potatoes are a very fit esculent to lower the food of the opulent and to diminish their consump tion of richer viands, but as the sole support of the poor, as a substitute for bread, they are to tally inadequate. Man cannot live upon them long, in health and strength, whatever may be .;did of the Irish. Indeed, the argument derived from the free use of the potato by. that , people. would, if a clue examination of their physical State were to take place, prove the very reverse of its affording wholesome and adequate nourish metil td the human body. While we are upon this subject we shall add a few words on the use of Indian corn, about which some stir is making. We have been for , calleda k s e) e l e w o 'a r y n s — b i e n e gres. and where it is ere , g i,,-,sut the south of Europe, a n nd iny lu y a e l a it r i s es pe t r i i i i; r c o tt u y acquainted with its culture nrquie. There never could be any questi o n but it could grow and ripen in England ; for in England, in fact, it has always been grown as an object of curiosity. The shop-wine dows of our seedsmen in London have con stantly exhibited specimens of it, and they have had the grain for sale centuries ago.— But who would grow this trash that can grow wheat ? By itself the Indian corn makes a nauseous clammy bread of a bright yellow co lour, and if mixed with wheat, it has not half the heart and support in it that are to be found in wheaten and rye bread, mixed in the same proportions. Let any one, in proof of this, look at our hardy and muscular population in th 4 north of England, who have no other bread than that of this latter description. The two ktmh of corn are there sown, grown, and reaped together, and are called hard-corn or meslin ; and a whole some nourishing bread it makes. At the two extremities of Italy the poor rim? two kinds of bread, the produce of their respec , tive regions. At the foot of the Alps they have a bread made of chestnuts. In the Abruzzi rossi Calabria their bread is constituted this India 4 corn, and the two kinds are equally wretched. The chestnut bread of the Alps occasions nodo-' sities, swelled joints, and ultimately contracted limbs. The Indian corn bread gives swine the mange, and man the scurvy. But where no thing else can be produced, man must be content to sustain life on such terms as he can. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sta,—The amelioration of the present food of the poor being the subject and object of the following', observations, it is hoped they will not be tbotrglr unworthy the columns of your valuable paper, in a more especial manner is noticed the rapidity wlth which potatoes are gainin g upon bread. That pp verty has constrained a great part of the people of England almost entirely to forego the use of bread, and to have recourse to potatoes as a substitute, must have forced itself upon the notice of all whose leisure permits the inquiry. Passing the question, whether potato cultivation is more or less profitable to the agriculturist, it forms part of the present in quiry, if on the whole the nation does not, in per haps every point of view, lose by this change of food. As an esculent accompanying meats, we all admit its excellent and agreeable qualities, and thus asso ciated, a labourer may bid the retirement of the wheaten loaf; but though he may be too often des titute of the means of procuring meat, that it should come to pass that this root, varying so much as it does in quality, should, from the high price of bread, form the chief, sometimes the sole, food of the pro• verbially well-fed Englishman, is a thought enough to rouse the deepest feelings of the whole kingdom, and calls for legislative intervention to stop its fur• Cher progress. No proprietor, no legislator, not is Nobleman in the land, would surely afford such a civic triumph to our Continental neighbours. Potatoes sustain life in common with other edible vegetable matter; but they do not satisfy, much less gratify, the demands of nature as bread does. The latter replenishes the system of itself, unaided by flesh meats, whilst such meagre food as the former, a root sometimes of a quality almost worthless, pro vokes and nurses a desire of ardent spirits, and places the individual so miserably fed in the situation of a traveller whose fare being courser than usual, finds consolation in extending the indulgence of strong potations. Poor nouriture may chive a whole people into habits of drunkenness, into which, with better fare, few, comparatively, would be led; thus we may soon see the hitherto steady, industrious, joyous English people, changed into a nation of miserable, turbulent drunkards. What a bequest for future legislators ! In Europe, inebriety prevails less in those coun tries where wheaten bread is universally attainable ; it forms the greater part of human sustenance, even where a great variety of flesh meat and fish is ok tained at little cost. The potato root, increasing with us in the ratio of the poverty of the laborious, ought not to be permitted to usurp dominion over the fairest productions of our soil. The farmers of North America, who cultivate wheat extensively, have, from time to time, put to the test of husbandry some new object of economical cultivation, endea vouring to obtain a nutritious, and agreeable, and a cheaper aliment than wheaten bread. Yet these ex periments, even in their favourable summers, have not been very successful, and wheaten bread still re mains their common food ; for though the meal of Indian corn or maize is palatable, and much used for cu linary purposes instead of wheaten flour, it cannot be made into bread. Having said thus much ofthiscorn,it may be observed that it can hardly be expected to mature in our climate, Lut in a continually dry I.ar vest-season : its produce therefore would be uncer tain, and its cultivation illusory, for any permanently useful purpose. Experiments may falsify this opi nion; nevertheless, it is advanced with some know ledge of its culture and of the climates in which it thrives. It is worthy remark, that though raised in the part of Europe washed by the Mediterranean Sea, the cultivation of this grain has not spread far northward of those latitudes. Wheaten bread, then, is to us the true staff of life, as such it has main tained itself through the lapse of centuries, and de gradation, with its other destructive consequence , , will attend the change. Evils so productive of their baneful species it is the interest and duty of every one, by all possible and proper ways, to endeavour to avert. What means a labouring man with a family has of procuring a sufficiency of bread will be seen by viewing his situation a little closely. His wages, when in full employment, are 12s. a week ; they may be less, hut, it is to be feared, sel dom more. This scarcely, if at all, permits himself, his wife, and five young children, to live entirely on coarse wheaten bread ; the value of a pound of such bread is a fraction more than 2d.: allotting a pound to each individual per diem, more than eight shil lings of the above sum would be thus expended ; the wife, under favourable circumstances, may earn eneugh to purchase the clothing of herself and family, and occasionally scanty A upplies of meat and gro ceries; the remainder of his wages are demanded for house-rent and a miserable supply of fuel ; his own clothing must be obtained by extra la bour, or a course of privations, by turns of eco nomy, or by adventitious expedients which that, class of people only know or can endure. Pota toes and mead, then, divide his fare. It would be well, however, if we could see our labourers, the faithful cultivators of the soil, in the universal and permanent possession of such a provision.. What„,„ then, is the condition of those who are but.partly it-22- ) employed !

former are compelled to reti re in to t h e i r ran k s ; t h ey struggle to avoid the scanty parish relief, or the more frequent repulse, and are driven to the resorts of the dissolute and vagrant. Potatoes are their substitute for every other kind of food, and the means of pro curing this lowest support of human kind are, in the ease of a large and young family, more precarious with one of them, than with one wholly unem ployed, whose wants are, of necessity, known to the parish. Is it to the interest of landlords that consumers of bread should be lessened ? Is it politic that the strength of the nation should continue ill-fed?

London, Oct. 28. P. N. lENTAL DISEASES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. ! . zia.,—Your having expressed yourself in a very cedin g manner upon the subject of mental diseases, eatli me to suppose that a few observations, by one long experienced in that afflictive malady, may prove acceptable, Sir Andrew Halliday is much to be commended for his labours in procuring returns of the numbers :4filieted with - lunacy or idiotism, but I suspect that his report may lead to very erroneous conclusions. In the tirst place, the numbers stated are, I suspect, very much under the truth ; and the reports, in many instames, have only reference to paupers or poor people whose cases are notorious. In the next, that the proportion of idiots to lunatics is stated greatly too high. Rea' . idiots I hold to be those who were born so—those in whom the mind had never been developed, owing to some original defect or malcon formation, very different to the mental imbecility occasioned by diseases, to which all are liable, in the progress of human life. The number of born idiots is, I believe, small in this our land, and the number of those being idiots born, who become parents, very '.mall indeed ; but the number of those who become afflicted with nervous diseases in early life, and which terminate in mental imbecility, alarmingly great. The number found at any one period of those atilictvd with mental diseases, compared with any other period, is no proof of the comparative num bers who are visited by the disease; for much de• penis upon the treatment of it. Undcr the very hest I rosnnent, which might be practised as a legis lative measure, no doubt nine out of ten of the pauper lunatics would recover; but under the prac tice which now prevails, as a legislative measure, it is found that nine out of ten do not recover, and may during life be found in the list of incurable lunatics ', or idiots, Suppose we take fifteen years as the average term of life of incurable lunatics, it would require eight hundred fresh cases annually to keer up the stock of twelve thousand, and if only one out ti ten cases remained as incurable, it would require eight thousand fresh cases of insanity annually to keep up the supply ; but if only one out of ten re covered, eight hundred fresh cases annually would be sufficient to keep up the supply ; and the dete rioration in the treatment of the insane which has most unfortunately taken place within the last twenty years for paupers, is quite sufficient to account for the alarming increase in the number of incurables. It is well known that Dr. Willis, some thirty years ago, stated that of those insane patients who were put under his care while the disease was recent, that nine out of ten recovered; and yet a learned pliy iciao, who was medical attendant at one of the best appointed county asylums in the kingdom, told me a few months since that they calculated upon one recovery out of ten cases. T. B. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER. SlR,—Having been present at a conversation on Monday niAt, conversation arose on the subject of the number of theatres burnt down in the metro polis within the last century, when a gentleman present betted that two theatres had been destroyed by fire successively on the site of the present Drury lane Theatre. I ventured, so far as my recollection served me, to contend that thin was not the fact, and it was agreed to refer it to you, or some of your cor respondents, with a request to obtain authentic in formation on the subject, should it not be thought too much trouble. AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT. [ln answer to our Correspondent, we have to mice that Drury-lane iheatre had its origin in a Cock-pit, which was converted into a theatre in the reign of James the First, previously to 1617, in which year, on the 4th of March, according to Cam den's Annals, it was pulled down by a furious mob, but on what account it does not appear. It was • afterwards - called the Cock-pit and the Plicenis Theatre, having adopted that fabulous bird as its sign. After the Restoration a patent was obtained by Killigrew, who, in 1662, erected a theatre on the site of the present building, the old one having been situated nearly opposite the Castle Tavern, where Cockpit-alley now is. In January, 1671, the new edifice was destroyed by fire ; but it was re built soon afterwards by Sir Christopher Wren.— The fabric underwent many alterations prior to 1793, when a magnificent theatre was built, from the designs of the late Henry Holland, Esq., which was destroyed by fire the 24th of February, 1809, in the course of five hours. The present theatre was built in the years 1911 and 1812, at the expence of 150,0001. Covent-garden was destroyed by fire the 28th September, 1808.]—ED. Morning Advertiser.

The French Papers of \l'onday and Tuesday have been received. They state that the last act of the ratification of peace has been accom plished. The smuggling affair is not yet al lowed to sleep, for we find now that the French themselves are to come in for a share of the obloquy, by a new transaction at Calais, in which Prince PoLIGNAC is concerned. (From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday.) CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 1. It was after a great Council held on the 27th at the Palace of the Sera trier Chosrew Pacha, at which, besides the Ministers of the Porte, the Mati and the Sultan himself were present, the ratifica tions of the treaty of .Adrianople were signed, and despatched the same day. It is affirmed that General Diebitsch has replied to the application made to him for passports for the Turkish Embassy which was going to St. Peters burgh, that he did not think himself authorised to do this without first applying to his Sovereign, but that he had no doubt that his august master would look upon this step of the Porte as a fresh proof of its sincere desire to consolidate the restoration of the amicable relations of Rnssia. The blockade of the Dardanelles with the Russian fleet is now raised, and merchantmen of all nations pass the Hellespont without obstacle and without being searched. TOULON, OCT. 19. It appears that all our first-rate men-of-war will be soon dismantled, and that only the smaller vessels will be retained, which will serve for the instruction of the young recruits. The first vessel to he dis mantled is the Scipio, which was stopped by a tele graphic despatch at the moment that it was in the roads, on the point of sailing for the Levant. Al ready more than 3,000 sailors have been discharged in the maritime district of Toulon.

The restless curiosity of the pub lic, which had been kept in suspense respecting the final issue of the affairs of the East, will henceforth have no aliment. if it is true that the fate reserved for the Porte is not such as to promise eternal dura tion, at least we have no reason to fear that the good understanding between the European Cabinets will be disturbed in favour of Mahmoud. Europe may now look with confidence for several years of peace, by which we do not mean that the great statesmen who direct the several Cabinets will lie inactive, and suffer themselves to be surprised by the events which are concealed in the bosom of futumity. There is still a great deal to be done to binder the renewal of the conflagration which threatened us from the East. First of all it is es ential that the fate of Greece should be fixed on a durable and glo rious foundation. • If we are well informed, the French Government, in conformity with the spirit of the age, seems to take great interest in the emancipation of Greece.— But even when the Greek question is decided, the European Cabinets will have enough to employ their wisdom and activity to merit the gratitude of the civilised world. '1 hey must use their influence with the Porte to induce the latter to guarantee the com merce of the East, to avert the scourge of the plague, and to secure the property of the Christian subjects. It is by such measures that the Sultan may regain the esteem of Europe, and legitimate his claims to the title of reformer. To continue to reign on a system of hatbarism would be a disgrace to him and to Europe. PkRIS, OCT. 27. We have received from Calais a letter from the Chamber of Commerce of that town, respecting an event which excites general attention there. Our readers will recollect that some time ago prohibited manufactured goods were introduced into France, under cover of the franchises of the English Em bassy. The same fraud has just been repeated on the conveyance to France of the furniture of M. de Polignac. (The Chamber states in the letter, that it had re ceived positive information that there were in the Custom-house eighty packages brought by the Nereid, and addressed to the 'Prince de Foligraw, stated in the invoice, dated London, Bth instant, to contain furniture, books, &c. but that there is in these packages a great quantity of English tulle, the importation 'of which is prohibited.)

They contain no real news, unless we may consider probable reports as such. .The SULTAN is said to have experienced great diffi culty in paying the first instalment. The war being now ended, the Turks begin to discover thl it , at t usstans hat, had great advantages in the second campaigur—and that the GRAND VIZIER had committed a grievous fault in risking the battle of tht ith June—points upon which nobody ever entertained a doubt that took the trouble of considering the relative situation of the Belligerents FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, OCT. 8. The peace having been ratified on the 27th Sept. it is believed that the ratifications will be exchanged by the Middle of October. The Porte is said to have had much difficulty in providing the first instal merit of the sum fixed for the indemnification of the merchants, and this is reported to be the chief ground why the Sultan delayed the ratification thirteen days. If it was difficult to find even this sum, which is so small in proportion to the whole, it does not appear how the Porte will be able to fulfil the engagements into which it has entered with Russia for the plyment of the sums agreed upon, unless Russia should consent to a considerable reduction of the amount, or some new sources opened to fill the treasury of the Sultan, which is now quite exhausted. The English Ambassador, Sir Robert Gordon, is said to have invited Admiral Malcohn to cruise with his squadron off the Dardanelles, Admiral Heyden, on his side, has raised the blockade, and intended to go to Poros. . The Pacha of Scutari, who was inactive during the whole campaign, and must have been well-in formed at the close of it of the. negociations for peace and their progress, seems to have undertaken his expedition towards Sophia, chiefly for the pur pose of making himself talked of, and thereby to re gain the favour of the Sultan. It is said he intends to go to Greece if he should not succeed in getting himself summoned to the capital. ANCONA, OCT. 11. Ft:lions tempests have done much damage in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic. The exchange of couriers between Corfu and London is very active. Last week two couriers to the Lord lligh Comthis sioner passed through this city. It is affirmed that importrnt events will take place in Greece, which demand the attention of the English Government, and that the English troops in the lonian Islands will again receive considerable reinforcements. A fortnight ago about 4,000 troops were landed at Malta. FRANKFORT, OCT. 21. We have received some numbers of the Courricr de Smyrne, which came down to the 13th Septem ber, and are partly filled with transactions of the fourth National Assembly of Greece, the chief par ticulars of which we have already communicated.— The accounts from Constantinople are only to the 7th of September. The Cortrrier speaks in high terms of General Diebitsch and those under him.— On the second campaign it observes-- , " Three things have chiefly decided the issue of the second campaign : the exclusive possession of the Black Sea by the Russians, the particular character of the Grand Vizier, and the talents of the Russian Commander-in-Chief. After the destruction of the Sultan's fleet, the way was opened for the Russians to their victims on the coast of the Euxine, and to the Bosphorus. This is a fact against which no reasoning will avail. If the army of General Diebitsch had been deprived of the mewls of receiving supplies and reinforcements by way of Sizeboli, an'! of threatening the capital from Bourgas and Ainada, the Itussian army would not have ventured to cro,s the Balkan, however weak the resistance that might have been there made to it. The Grand Vizier had the courage of a soldier, and desired to m,asure his strength fairly with the enemy, but his zeal led him to far. But what man of honour can blame him ? His regular troops emu lated his zeal in the battle of the 11th of June, and 40,000 men, after a battle of four hours, obliged the best troops of Russia to give up their whole line of battle, and to bring forward 70,000 men to obtain the victory. On this occasion this new institution proved what it could already perform, and what may be expected from it. But when the well being of an empire is at stake the suggestions of elevated feelings must not always be attended to; this_ battle was a fault, and an immense fault, but such an one as only a great mind could have been guilty of. From that moment General Diebitsch displayed military talents of the highest order, and may be placed among those illustrious men who have distin guished themselves in the wars of our times." Brussels Papers, of the 28th October, con Lain no news. The customary despatches from Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY, at Paris, and Sir THOM,As BAGOT, at the Hague, have been received at the Foreign Office this morning. Baron BcLow, the Prussian Ambassador, had a long conference with the Earl of ABER DEEN this morning at the Foreign Office. The following has been received this morning from our Paris Correspandent " PARIS, OCT. 27. " The separate Treaty between Russia and the Porte, of which you are no doubt in posses sion, regarding the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, appears to me to be liable to much more serious objections than the original or principal Treaty of Adrianople. In all its parts it is admirably calculated to favour those deigns upon the Principalities, for which it is supposed that the policy of Russia has been so long preparing ; and nothing could afford a stronger demonstration of the miserable condi tion to which the Sultan must have been reduced, than his accession to a Treaty containing what is evidently a virtual abdication of his sovereign 'authority. For the nominal sovereignty which the Sultan has been permitted to retain, seems to be scarcely more substantial than that which the King of Sardinia exercises over Cyprus and Jerusalem, or than that which, until the acces sion of his present Majesty, was asserted over France by the Kings of England. The Turks, domiciliated on the territory of the Principalities, are no longer to be permitted to remain there ; and every thing seems carefully calculated to pave the way for the future incorporation of these provinces with the Russian empire. It is true that a tribute is still acknowledged to be due to the Sultan, together with a recompence in money for the duties and services which were hitherto exigible, and which are now abolished ; but the most remarkable circumstance connected with this solitary remnant of sovereignty is, that it is not to be payable for two years, not from the date of the Treaty, but from the indefinite period when the Principalities shall be entirely evacuated by the Russian troops. It is not easy to con ceive a stipulation better calculated to secure the favour of the inhabitants towards a Power it, the relative situation of Russia. The whole popu lation will from henceforth be relieved of the vexatious and innumerable exactions to which they have hitherto been liable ; and as long as they can prevail on their not reluctant protectors to favour them with their personal countenance, ! under any conceivable pretext, they will also be relieved from the pecuniary substitute contem plated in the Treaty. The period of military occupation, two years after the termination of which is fixed as the terminus a quo, from which the exemption from taxes is also to be ter minated, seems as yet to be wholly undefined ; but taking it at ten years from the date of the Treaty, the Moldavians and Wallachians will thus have secured an immunity from all taxation for twelve years certain ; and supposing the Ot toman Power ir, Europe to subsist so long, it will be strange indeed if some event does not arise in the course of so long a period, after the habit of immunity has been so deeply rooted, to enable them to make it perpetual, or perhaps to divert the revenues of these provinces into the channel of the Imperial treasury of St. Peters burgh. In the mean time, however, the whole proceeding has been so dexterously arranged by the Russian diplomatists, that it may perhaps be difficult to find a sufficient reason, consistently with the recognized principles of international law, for the interference of the great Powers of Europe, whose common interests are likely to be affected by the important change which is now to take place in Eastern affairs, unless it shall be thought that such a case of necessity has arisen, as to entitle them to regard the Ottoman autho rity as virtually annihilated, and to erect in its room some new form of Government, founded on the broad basis of civil right, and suited in some degree to the present progress of civiliza tion. Sooner or later it is clear that something of this kind must be attempted ; and it would surely be better to engage in it while the world is in a state of tranquillity, than to wait until some new cause of disturbance has arisen, and until the elements of discord, which are already fermenting in more than one State of Europe, shall have precipitated the world into a general war. It is in vain to suppose that any effort of human diplomacy can ever restore the power of the Sult:mn to that place which it has so long been admitted to occupy in the general balance of the affairs of Europe. Like OHC of the hu man figures discovered in Herculaneum or Pom peii, or the still more ancient tenants of the Pyramids of Egypt, the power of the Sultan could not be touched or breathed upon without falling to pieces. It has been touched—it is in the act of falling—and it is time for those who are interested in the event to make immediate preparations for the consequences. " The opponents of the French Ministry are still as active as ever in preparing for its over throw. A great number of Deputies are already in Paris, where they have regular meetings for the purpose of arranging a system of opposition for the approaching Session of the Chambers. The refusal of the Budget is a point on which all the opponents of the Ministry will be united, by whatever shades of opinion they may happen to be distinguished ; but I believe it is not yet settled whether the whole of the Ministerial mea sures of finance are to be resisted en masse, or whether they are to be discussed and objected to in detail. " A recent measure of the Ministry, which affects the feelings at least of a considerable number of individuals, now occupies the atten tion of the Society of Paris, although it has not yet been subjected to discussion by the press.— You are aware that patents of nobility and marks of personal distinction are granted in this country with much more profusion than in England ; and as the fees of the patent right, or other inferior privilege, are considerable in amount, it has long been customary for the party who has recom mended himself to the Royal favour, to content himself with the usual notice of his new dignity in the Moniteur, and with kissing hands at the next levee, without incurring the expense of ap plying at the Herald-office for the written voucher of his title. During the late Ministry, and at the time of the accession of the present Cabinet, a great number of individuals found themselves in this situation ; but within these few days a Royal Ordonnance has appeared, recalling all such honorary distinctions as have not been con firmed by the necessary patents—leaving, how ever, a short period to the parties to apply, if so disposed, for the confirmation of their titles re quired by law. Such, however, is the keenness of the feeling of hostility to the present Mi nistry, that. I believe in a great number of in stances the individuals thus situated will decline to apply for their patent rights within the period limited by the present ordonnance. There are, some, no doubt, who refuse the distinction on separate and independent grounds. Of this number is M. Ternaux, a distinguished member of the Chamber of Deputies, and one of the individuals who originated the Parisian Associa tion against the levy of taxes unauthorised by law. This gentleman is one of the most enter priaing manufacturers in France, and is engaged in a great variety of commercial undertakings.— He has lately purchased a large estate in one of the northern provinces, and having converted the extensive chateau into a linen manufactory, he is about to engage in the culture of flax, for the purpose of bringing that branch of manufacture into notice in his neighbourhood. M. Ternaux was one of the individuals who was destined for the honours of the Peerage. To a man of his great wealth the fees of the patent were of course a matter of no consideration ; but he has, never theless, uniformly declined to make the neces sary application for the muniments of his title— and, unlike a number of those who are similarly situated, he has also declined to avail himself of the unsolicited honours which had been awarded hi m , alleging, as his motive, that he would not h a ve his sons ashamed of their father's occupa tion, and referring to the letters of rehabilita tion, which had been obtained by such of the emigrant noblesse as had been obliged, in the course of their exile, to have recourse for the means of subsistence to mercantile pursuits, which he naturally enough considers as an indi rect imputation on those pursuits which have raised him to so respectable a station among the 1 reasonable classes of his countrymen." In our columns of to-day our readers will find the account of an ir , t^"r' , ting appeal that was brought forward at the Devon Quarter Sessions, where a respectable individual, named MER CHETTI,appealed against the decision ofsome local Magistrates, by which decision he was prevented from opening an hotel at Torquay. The ap peal, we are glad to find, was successful : and is important so far as it tends to break one of the numerous heads of the overgrown Hydra of monopoly. The facts of the case, which was an unusually hard one, are simply these : There is only one hotel at Torquay, a watering place which, from the transcendant beauty of its situation, and the extraordinary mildness and salubrity of its climate, is much fre quented during the autumnal, and more eveci ally the winter months. Within the last rew years, from being merely a fishing hamlet, it has grown up to be one of the most favourite spots in the South of Devon, and as such, the want of hotels was severely felt, and often complained of. In this exigence, M ERCHETTI, with a laudable spirit of enterprize, resolved to supply th e deficiency, .and with this view applied for leave to open a respectable and economical hotel. Strange to say, his application was refused l There was not the slightest attempt made to impeach his character ; but it so happened, that the only hotel-keeper at Torquay was an influen tial man (a tenant, or something of the sort) with one of the leading Magistrates of the neighbourhood. Of course, therefore, he must lie supported, which could only be done by re• fusing poor MERCHETTI his license. Mean while the evil increased apace ; • and the necessity for a quiet and cheap hotel becoming every day more imperative, MERCHETTI was persuaded to appeal from the former decision, and obtain for the public that convenience which they so much needed. The appeal, we repeat, was successful, and will be the means of making Torquay one of the most convenient, as it is already one of the most romamtic watering-places in the kingdom.

The Express from Paris, received this morning, having brought the information that the last act of the ratifi catbm of peace was accomplished, which now must de cidedly put at rest the public curiosity, and that Europe may expect with canfidrnce seven] years of peace, this has had some little effect on our Funds this morning, which opened at 911 for the Account, since which they have readied 91t ; but owing to some Money Stock being brought to Market, Consols receded to 91e for the Acc, ,, unt, and 91 for Money.

This was an action brought to recover damages for -1111 excessive distraint for rent, due by the plaintiff to the de feudant Nixon. The other defendant, named Chatl l ° l4 was the broker by whom the levy was made. The circumstances of the case were shortly there. Il e plaintiff occupied a room in a house which had beetle'. rently parcha , ed by Nixon, the defendant, but she !gig . afraid to pay him lest she should have to pay over agate' he directed the other defendant to l e vy a di s tress, Wh it , was accordingly done. The distress was levied for 2 ! lie., but only 21. 14s. was due, and for this the actie ° was brought.

THE BANK OF ErattAg' This was an action ari s ing out of th e f orger i e s of Ibe late Fauntleroy, and the question to be decided 7, whether or not, when the Bank of England transfer p.:rtienlar stock by means of a forged warrant of attml e li the party from whose name it is so transferred can coot them to re-transfer that very same stock, or whether v e ease only requires them to pay the amount of stock tlO transferred. Mr. Sijeant SFANKIE (with whom were Mr. Pelle and Mr. KELLY) conducted the plaintiff 3 U W s' case, and ° . l Serjeant BOSANQET, Mr. Serjcant anr, Mr. Sefj ean 'FADDY, and Mr. Bom.aND, appeared for the defenda o* The trial is likely to occupy the whole day. • Mr. Se: jeant BOSANQUET said he wished en the 00 to state thus publicly that the Bank of England never re fused to pry the amount of any stock, improperly OW fermi, indeed they could not refuse so to do, but they c 0 I) ; tended that the Act of Parliament never contemplated dill in such case they were bound to re-transfer that partial ° stork. The CHIEF JusrxcE suggested from the importance ° f the question, that it would be b e tter to agree to a spec ial ease, it was too much to expect that he should decide th e point without mature deliberation. Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET said it was necessary, first produce evidence as to the usage of the Bank, which 0 "" accordingly done, and had not concluded when our It e ' porter left. The question is one of much importance, inasmuch If if the Bank are liable to transfer the same stock that b° been sold by means of a forgery, the party elaim i d will be entitled to all the dividends arising from that stocl(9 from the date of its being so transferred. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. These Sessions commenced this morning b e ford lf. Sergeant ARABIN and the City Authoriti e s. The calell contained 35 cases of offences committed in London, 281 cases from Middlesex. The greater part of th e.- however seem of minor importance. At ten o'clock Mr. Justice PARK and Mr. Baron GA S ' Row took their seats on the bench.

The reason of his answering the w2itie., as the latter had stated was, that lie did not recollect sic name of the house where he had lodged, and was cert°l - that he bad not been in London for the eight months r o t vious to Ain il last, at which time the man accused bin'having lodg e d th e r e .

bINNE R GIVEN TO MR. SHELL BY THE LOUTH FREEHOLDERS. It having been understood that Mr. Sheil would attend the registry of Freeholders of Dundalk, it Was determined by a large body of Freeholders to give him a public dinner, in order to express the popular feelin g in his regard. Accordingly, upon Thursday last, he was invited to dine at Magrath's Rooms. Although there were only two days' notice, 119 persons sat down to dinner, of which up wards of 100 are registered Freeholders. Mr. RICHARD VERDON took the Chair. Mr. Sheil sat 'Ton his right hand, and Mr. Fitzgerslsl, of Fare Valley, who has given all his interest to Mi. Shell, sat on the left. After the cloth had been removed, the following toasts were giv en : " The King —who derives his power from the People." " The People." " The D u k e o f Cl arence an d t h e N avy. " " The Duke of Sussex and the rest of the Royal Family." " The Lord Lieutenant, and Prosperity to Ireland." " Our guest, Mr. Shell, and may he, upon the next racancy, represent the county of Louth." This toast was I received with loud and continued plaudits. Mr. SHELL sa id—Th ese p roo f s o f t h e popu l ar feeling amount to demonstration. There are up- i wards of 100 Freeholders in this room who thus pledge themselves to my support. The gentlemen to whom I am opposed will never bring to the hust ings as many voters as are collected here this night. But enough upon this topic. I throw myself and Mr. Bellew out of the scale, saying no more than this —that as the republicans of the United States, in the selection of individuals for office, uniformly gave the preference to men who had been contri butors to the independence of their country, so the persons who had signalized themselves in the achievement of the liberty of Ireland have some title to the predilection of their fellow-citizens. Whether I was one of those to whom the Roman Catholics of Ireland owe some obligation, it is for you to de termine. —(Loud cheers.)—The next election will n ut put your gratitude, but my deserts, to the te st. If you should repudiate me, I shall not conclude that you are thankless, but that I am s elf unwo r thy. B u t p utt i ng a ll consideration of ndividuals aside, (and I have, perhaps, ex ceeded the habitual limits, wide as they are, within Which the egotism . of a candidate ought to be cir cumscribed), let us inquire a little what cast of per t.ioris Ir e l and ought to return to Parliament.—( Hear, bear .)' —Let us estimate the qualifications of the trustees, by determining the exact nature of the mist. If the measure „ill work its own way, and the tide of circumstances be so much in its favour, that no sort of skill or effort be requisite in direct mg it, you will not deem it necessary to retain the mariners wh o mantled the vessel in tempestuous lime'''. Many a storm has been weathered, and we bave got th e s h ip within the lights, and beyond the bar, at last ; hut the V% heel is not yet to be placed in inexperienced hands, and you perhaps stand as much jq need of pilotage as ever. But I ought to abandon this cast of illustration. Plain things ought to be e xpressed in a plain fashion. How stands the coun try ? %lot has been done, and what remains to be accomplished ? The first que s ti on i s not very : ifn eldt to answer—the second is one w hi c h de serves the attention of the Government fully as much as it does your own.—(Hear, hear.)—l go back for a iliOn lent to the preliminary int e rrogatory. Wh a t & I s las been d one ? Th at w hi ch w i l l con f er everlasting 14r ne upon the man who has achieved it—conceive his tiatee in the sanctuaries of history—give to his mili tary reputation the consummation of a sacred and P a cific celebrity, and place him foremost not only an a • the benefactors of his country, but amongst 'Ho se who, by the inculcation of lofty principles, ‘ 8 " 411 have d eserve d we l l of mank i nd. That has been " n ne, Which, while it rescues the island and its peopl e from the imminence of the most dreadful of all dangers, and tears it almost out of the gulf of civil War, has also tended to impart solidity and perma nence to the majestic empire of which Ireland con stitutes so important a part. I might pursue this in• te crogatory, and the responses to it, but it is untie eaessarY• There is little n e ed of ex pati a ti on u p on w h a t ."asbee n accomplished, w ben seven millions of our fel 'ow-citizens carry in their own throbbing hearts the ele 14ting consciousness that they are at last in the poss eftion of liberty,—that their ignominious thral deal has be en s h a ken off, and that they have be e n exalted to the majestic level upon which, in the coatemplation of the law, we all at present stand. *-- (Hear, hear.) A far more important question re- Mains --what is to be done ? I said that this inter rogatory equally concerned the Government and the peopl e ; let me begin with the latter. To them I P r ietly submit that Catholic emancipation, by open ing the avenues of legislation, has afforded them the theyof d o i ng j ust i ce to themselves; an d t h at if In ' e Y feel n , th out of the enal e there arose abusesat which require p correction, cod those abuses ' Hot terminate with the cessation of their re it ft c all*e, but it will be indispensable to use mea tojes of great strenuousness and vigour, in order to euectuate their remova l. It i s no t necessary that I : 41 ,_ °111(1 go into an y l engt h ene d d e t a il o f th e ev il s Qynien remain to be corrected; it is enough to say, that if the people are truly solicitous for their re- M l n"al, they w i ll take care to put into Parliament o en who will at once be able and willing to co erate for this salutary purpose.—(Cheers.)—But e most important question remains. That the People will do what it behoves them, for they are seldom false to themselves, 1 make no doubt, but what part does it become the duty of the Govern tneot to perform ?—(hear.)—l have not unfre 'Newly had occasion to refer to the relative state of the Creoles and the Spaniards, as illustrative of that of th e I r i s h R oman Catholics' and the class who *ere placed in asc en d ancy a b ove t h em. Th e a ulnity has not as yet completely ceased, and it is Stated by H um b o ld t, t h at although laws were passed r the emancipation of the Creoles, yet they were ; •Ploperative, because they were counteracted ti v i a spiri t more power f u l t h an the enactments of , a G overnment, and rendered virtually void and of effe ct. - -(Hear.)—Let the men who hold the t T in s of authority, and who superintend the des ,;llleB of the nation, beware lest they should not li m a v it to embody in a wise execution what they tha: ° wisely and benevolently conceived, and th an it t eoder our condition more disastrous m a i - " w as before. Let me not, however, ,be mis to erstonil. I am not imputing any sort of blame tr an Y Memb er o f t h e l oca l government of this coun 07arbecause I am firmly convinced that the Duke Northumberland and Lord F. L. Gower are both actua te d by the best int e nti ons w ith res p ect t o Ire (Cheers.)-1 he r ecen t answer o f t h e L or d in Lieutenant to the Presbyterian Synod put his feel ,usout of all sort of doubt. Neither have %ye any 13 :e to discredit the assurances given by the mem p_rS of the Cabinet, and especially by Mr. Secretary e a e l) that Catholic Emancipation should not remain i _u_,ead letter in the statute book, but should be cos i:nu jilt° an effectual and practical completion. I " in u ylot disguise my own surprise and regret, that (.e the measure has been settled, some exceed ;,' u ntoward appointments have taken place; Mill nit er can we hide from o urse l ves th e f ac t, th a t a Yet up on t h e R oman Catholic has any of the 10 a nna of p atronage casually dropped. But al re`‘Toces oug h t to be made, and are made, for dif u.lties, and we reco ll ect that as yet a su ffi c i ent a e l ci d of gest a ti on h as not b een al l owe d to t h e t h e u vernment, to give the conceptions with which w e Y oct doubt are teeming birth.—(Laughter.)— ss _ do net mean to quarrel with men who have toiresseti themselves to be devoted to the good of th 'e and ' because, before the lapse of nine months, b oys designs with which their minds are pregnant t _ 4 te not been brought forth;—still I think it tine s _u, candour to tell them, and to warn the man to ri‘v.,lttorn the happiness of this great country is con d, that they must-1 repeat the word—that must give some practical proofs of their deter- It ation to give to t h e measure o f re li e f a sub , n r tial effect ; or els e a d eeper , an d darker, an d :1e formidable discontent will arise, from the l otration o f the nation's hopes, and men will "fl be found perfectly competent, and not at • all unwilling, to administer to the passions of the people that aeitation which they know so well how to apply. It will be asked of me what I mean perhaps ; toy answer shall be perfectly frank. The Irish Catho!ics expect to see an utter extinetioe of the ascendancy system. They expect that no prefer ence shall be given to men upon account of their re a ligion, in any profession or walk of life, excepting those which are associated with the religion of the State. They demand that all distinction between Cathac and Protestaut shall, in the eyes of Go vernment, disappear, and that neither at the bar, nor in any other purauit in life, any sectarian differences I should be remembered.--(Loud cheers.)—l repeat I that I do not attribute to the Government any deli berate design to perpetuate the system of exclusion; but I would strongly admonish them that they should have a care not to relapse into their former habitudes, and from either carelessness, or allowing the underlings of authority—men of red tape and sealing wax, to assume too much controul, and abusing of the official nonchalance of their superiors, to become the virtual, although they be not the os tensible distributors of the honours and emoluments of the State. Matters must not he permitted to go on in their old fashion. The political Pactolus must be diverted from its ancient channels, and for this end an effort must be used, for, if left to itself, it will continue to flow on in the course which it has won for itself. If lam asked what proportion of the pa tronage of Government ought to be extended to the body which is now no longer alienated from the State, but which cannot be strongly fastened to it except by the links which have human nature for their rivet, I answer that the measure of distribution should be a mean between the property of the party and the numbers and the power of the others.— These observations may be regarded as indicative of a great thirst for office on the part of those who made it their vaunt that they looked only to eligi bility. To this insinuation, so far as individuals are concerned, I pay no attention. I am not referring to individuals, for whether certain men be passed by, or others be promoted, is of little interest to the nation ; all that I intend to convey is the abstract proposition that, in order to conciliate a community which has been so long kept apart from the constituted au thorities, the impression that they are still under a ban, and that a fall at present exists between them and the class to whose level they have been legally raised, must be utterly effaced. Of this lam con vinced, that if the system of sectarian preference is to be still either purposely or from inattention al lowed to be carried away, the old animosities will be revived with greater force, and the Catholic body will look upon the injustice practised in their regard as embittered by the mockery of a valueless and abortive law. But let it not be thought that it is only by a just allocation of patronage that I conceive that the effect is to be given to emancipation: al though I have mentioned it as one of the ingredients of conciliation, I am far from looking upon it as the main one. There are many other measures which are still more indispensible. The education of the people, through the medium of the Catholic clergy, and a proper application of the Parliamentary grants for instruction of the peasantry, would lead to the most beneficial results; for while it would tend to diffuse better habits among the lower orders ;it would also attbch a powerful intellectual co-operation to the Government, by the honourable confidence which would be reposed in them. Many other means cf giving reality to Catholic emancipation might be suggested, but the matter which beyond every other deserves the deep consideration of the Irish executive, is the administration of justice. There are many per sons who imagine that whets the manner in which jus tice is administered is impeached, it is intended to assail the judge to whom it is committed. Nothing of the kind is intended. The Catholics in their complaints of what takes place in our public tribunals mainly object to the exclusive Protestant constitution of the juries. This is a great evil, because it excites sus picions almost as baneful as the actual impurity upon the part of those who ought not only to be above guilt, but above surmise. The Government are bound to adopt efficacious means to get rid of this source of matured injury. It will not be difficult to have it remedied in other parts of Leland, but in the city of Dublin it will require no ordinary energy and determinetion. The Corporation of Dublin is the seat of great evil. The power of nominating Sheriffs gives that body the appointment of juries, and thus the most important of all public tribunals where political cases are necessarily tried, is con verted by a ferocious faction into the means of per petuating their ascendancy.—(Hear.)—Lord Plun kett, when Attorney-General, had some experience of this dreadful domination ; to obviate it, he intro duced an Act of Parliament, enabling the law offi cers to lay the venue in the county instead of the city, and thus to escape from the corporation. But to the defendant there is no privilege afforded. Let men cavil as they will, I fearlessly assert it, and I am convinced that DO unbiassed men will contradict me, that not only is there a general conviction amongst the Catholic body that there is unfair dealing in their regard, in the nomination of Dublin juries, but that in point of fact a factions spirit influences their appointment, and men are often selected who are not only exclusively Protestants, but emi nent for the ferocity of their partisanship. What, let me ask, has Catholic emancipation done to re move this cause of deep and festering animosity ? Nothing whatever. The strongest political antipa thies now rage in the heart of the corporation. The sheriffs are compelled to pledge themselves to offer a periodical insult to the feelings of the people.— (Loud cheers.)—Witness the late orgies, in which the officer intrusted with the return of juries took so conspicuous a part. Is this system then to lie endured? Are the Government to stated by the passive spectators of those enormous abuses ? Will they allow the Corporation of Dublin to continue the arbiters of our rights, and to make their awards upon our characters, our properties, and our free dom ?--(Cheers.)—ls this Corporation to he per mitted to stand as a hold from which the Orange flag is still to be unfurled, as the emblem of an ascendancy which has been only nominally im paired '?—(Cheers.)—ls it—in the name of con sistency, of decency, of truth, and of honour,—is it from the Corporation of Dublin that justice is to flow, and in place of the pure fountains, to use Lord Mansfield's expression, from which it ought to be drawn, are its streams to be derived from this reser voir of the basest faction, which is to be kept as a cistern for foul toads " To knot and gender in ?"—(Loud cheers.) This system cannot be permitted to continue, or if it be, farewell to the good effects of emancipation. If the Government act with a strenuous sincerity in carrying it into operation, it will, before much time goes by, have accomplished a complete reconcilia tion, and achieved all the good which the prophets of prosperity had announced ; but if, upon the other hand, its spirit be not embodied in the measures of the state, and if it be not stamped upon the whole proceedings of the Government,—if it be not recol lected that the great 7,000,000 arc still the natural objects of conciliation, and that they constitute the people of Ireland, then, instead of an improvement in our condition, I foresee an augmentation of our antipathies, and a renovation of our national disasters. The consequence will be, that the Catholics, with out having been reconciled, will have acquired new means of enforcing their complaints. They will rally under their old leaders, who will have been fur nished with new weapons from the armoury which the Legislature will have supplied. They will enter again into the coalition,—not religious, perhaps, but Anti-anglican,—in which they have in their former organization so formidable a model, nor will they be in want of standard-bearers. Individuals who would, under other circumstances, be di .posed to adopt a different course, will be driven by the Government itself into the receptacles of intemperance. Those who believed they had escaped from the vast whirl pool of faction will be sucked back into the tremen dous vortex. There will the same appeals be made to the popular and religious passions of a commu nity, Whose power will have greatly increased, while their sense of their wrongs will have proportionably augmented. The peop!e will 1i ro'l that cm.ree'. pation has only given 'h. Incites of re‘ires;, and thr-: will be invited to its attain:nem. Ti;ey w'll then he taught that by admi,sion to the Howse of Com mons emancipation has only thrown open the door,. of the Augean stable, and opened the inlet by which the great tide of popular emotion is to he turned into it, and !;I: , Lirdened 'leaps of utxesei-nee are to be swept away. It is, then, for the Go,.ernmero to determine, for it depends on them whether they will excite those sentiments in the country, and raise up another and a still more powerful confederacy than that which had existed, and the recollection of which is sufficiently alluring to unite a second of the experiment, and let not the individuals be condemn ed. The latter only follow the public feeling : wise measures will produce amongst the people a dispo sition which would render the efforts of the roost vehement and adventurous politicians quite abor tive ; while injudicious and exasperat ilia . proceedings would for ce even th e m o d era t e into violent r courses. For my own part (for I should revert to myself ), if you shall select me to represent you in Parliament, you will find me always anxious to contribute to the pacification of my country, but determined at the same time to follow the dictates of our constituents. —(Cheers.)—On no other principle could I offer myself to you. I cannot select a better model than Alexander Dawson, and in fidelity to your interests, ' as well as in compliance with your wishes, I shall endeavour to emulate him. I need say no more touching myself than that my opinions are his; upon the question which occupies the attention of the empire, we have no difference. I should find it difficult to stand in the town of Dundalk, and . to bear the name of Roden in my remembrance, without being a zealous advocate of reform. It is in my judgment monstrous that we should be told that the 40s. franchise was justifiably abolished, but that the pious proprietor of this most putrid borough cannot be disturbed in his Parliamentary possessions. But I have trespassed at too great a length upon your patience; I thank you for the kindness with which you have listened to me, and conclude with the as surance that you shall always find me the devoted and enthusiastic servant of my country. Mr. Shell sat down amidst loud cheers. After Mr. Sheil had concluded, several other toasts were drank. The health of Mr. O'Connell was drank with reiterated cheering. Mr. Sheil pronounced a high panegyric upon the Liberator of Ireland. The health of Mr. Fitzgerald, of Fane Valley, was drank with great acclamation. He declared himself, in a short but emphatic speech, to be determined to give all his interest to Mr. Sheil. We have not space to report the rest of the pro ceedings, and we mealy state that Mr. Anthony Marmion made a very able speech upon Parliamen tary reform, which was loudly cheered, and that the description given by Mr. William Sheeran, of Major Frood, the agent to Lord Roden, produced repeated roars of laughter, at the expense of the worthy dis ciple of the apostle of Dundalk. CORK SPECIAL COMMISSION. On Saturday :norning the Court re-assembled to proceed with the trial of the other prisoners, against whom the Grand Jury had found bills, upon charges similar to those for which four were con demned at ten o'clock on Friday night, but upon the Solicitor-General's stating That the next trial must, if then entered upon, last unto the Sabbath, the Court adjourned till Monday morning. From the following question and answer between Counsel for the Crown and the prisoners, these trials are likely to occupy several days:— Mr. F. M`CARTHY—I would wish to know from the Solicitor-General, which and how many of the prisoners he may be prepared to proceed against on Monday, or does he propose to try them all to gether ? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—It is, as I said be fore, my firm resolve to try the seventeen prisoners, and this determination has been strengthened by the result of yesterday's trial; but I am not now dis posed to say which I shall put forward first. As to trying the whole seventeen together, of course I shall not do so, as such a complication of circum stances would be elicited as would harass and per plex a Jury. I intend to classify them in groups, and so proceed until they be all disposed of. While the Judge was on Friday night preparing to pass sentence of death upon the prisoners then convicted, one of them (Shine) alone, of all pre sent, seemed to be reckless of his condition, and unmoved by what was passing. He tehemently exclaimed that his lawyers had not done their duty ; that he knew well that they had been bribed by the gentlemen at Doneraile, and that they had not pro duced any witnesses who could speak in favour of him. He then pulled out of his pocket some money, and began to count it very deliberately. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

The Noble Viscount also transacted business at the Foreign Office. We arc happy to state, in contradiction to the reports which were in circulation last week, that his MaJEszr enjoys unabated health and spirits, The KING'S sight has been no doubt affected ; but this has happily not affected his general health. According to present arrange ments, it is supposed there is not much room for hope as to any probability of the KING'S visiting Brighton this year; but since one change has taken place, it does not seem very unreasonable to flatter ourselves that there may yet be an other. We happen indeed to know that scarcely more than a week back his MAJESTY gave personal directions that the baths in the Pavilion should be forthwith put into an efficient state for use, and that a person has been sent down from London in consequence to make the necessary arrangements. This seems at least to countenance the idea that his MAJ ESTY'S first intention is not entirely aban doned.—Brighton Gazette. Among the distinguished visitors by whose presence the Exhibition of the Society of Arts was last week honoured, were Mr. Secretary PEEL and his Lady; and it gives us pleasure to hear that the Right lion. Gentleman, who is a warm patron of the Society, was pleased to express his appro!iation in the highest terms. — Birmingham Gazette. F; TING INTELLIGENCE. NESS MIOZKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

The race was exceedingly severe all the way, all being nearly abreast till within 50 yards of ending, where they all set to work, Suffolk Punch looking well, till just at the finish, when he ran out a little, and came in last. Tlr others came in so lose that mine but the judge could have placed the horses. Aranda won by a _head. The case was afterwards brought before the Club, whu decided in favour of Suffolk Punch. Mr. Batson therefore received the stakes. Match-50, sous. a AT. Mr. Greville's Vortigern Mr. Pettit's Prue filly 2 to 1 on Vortigern.—A fine race, and won by half a length.

The Whalebone filly then came out with The Alderman, and won very cleverly by two lengths— she was rode extremely well by a boy, named Joseph Moore, from Lord Exeter's stables, he appears under 10 years of ago, does not weigh four stone, and displayed patience and talent that would reflect credit on the most experienced—his riding created quite a sensation, which was not diminished when he replied to repeated expres sions of astonishment, " did you never see a man ride be fOre !" The Alderman was rode by Boyce. The winner was claimed for the Duke of Richmond. In the match between Taurus and the Miss Cantley filly, for 100 each, h. ft. the latter paid. In our quotation of the odds this afternoon, Ilrunswicker was, by mistake, put at IS invead of 20 to J. Without possessing any importance, the races to day gave general satisfaction from the close manner in which they were contested. The betting was very heavy.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—We are happy to hear that the Directors of the Royal Academy of Music have decided upon giving, this Winter, a series of Italian Operas, at the New Concert Room, King's Theatre (which has been lately Sued up as a Theatre. for this express purpose.) The performances will be under the exclusive Direction of the Committee, assisted by Mr. C. POTTER (the conductor of their Orchestra) and the Professors of the Academy. The sanction which was given for the performances at Brighton by the Pupils of the Academy has been withdrawn.

HAMILTON occurred in Dublin on the 15th of last month, two days after violent sea-sickness, and is supposed to have been occasioned by spasms. A widow and four children have to deplore the loss of their dearest friend and best protector ; while they have to thank the successful exertion of his talents and ardent zeal in the propagation of his system for the competence they inherit by his books. The names most distinguished for im provements in the art of teaching, since the days of As- CIIAM and LocKE, not to mention the living (as LANCAS-. TER, BELL, FELLENBERG, JACOTOL, PERRY, and others), are PESTALOZZI and HAMILTON. The former, by seeking to unfold the latent powers of observation, has done most of all educators, from ARISTOTLE down to OWEN, to effect a change in the matter of instruction. The intuition which PESTALOZZI makes the ground-work of education takes for its object, first, the individual, as consisting of parts and properties; and then proceeds to examine, in a never-ending succession, the dmdalean net-work of created things—the fittest instrument to call into play all " the faculties and slumbering energies of man." (" PESTA LOZZI'S Letters to GREAVES," letter 22.) The efforts of HAMILTON, on the other hand, have been directed to a great practical improvement in the manner of instruction, applicable chiefly to the study of languages. It is easy to judge of the value of his method so long as public opinion continues to require scholarship as the test of fitness for certain professions. Should that condition cease, the va lue of the liamturoNlA NI system will he of a different stamp ; it will have less of a commercial, snore of an in tellectual, character, regarded as affording ready access to the literary treasures of foreign nations and remoter times. We hope that time will establish that conviction of its usefulness which personal experience, in spite of pre judice, h as f orce d upon us; an d whi c h calls for this tri bute to the author's fame, as a man who risked his all to promulgate, in the face of long-consecrated routine, a bless ing to the rising generation. SPIRIT OF THE PlitiLlC JOURNAL 3. We gave two days ago the report of an ap peal from a bench of local Magistrates to the county sessions of Cambridge, on behalf of an individual who had been refused a licence to keep a public-house, when the conduct of the appellant was proved to be such as justified their Worships in rejecting his claim to a licence. With greater satisfaction we now present a case in which an appeal was broughtbefore the county sessions of Devonshire, when the decision of district Magistrates was reversed, and a second . hotel established in the growing town .of Tor quay, to the overthrow of a monopoly which had hitherto been enjoyed by a person named Poul ton, tenant to Sir Lawrence Palk, a Baronet of large fortune in that country. It appears that a confectioner, by name Merchetti, applied at the petty sessions for a licence, under which he might be enabled to open a second hotel at Toe quay, and was refused by a bench of Justices, among whom ; Sir L. Palk waa not formally act ing, he was undoubtedly in the room at the time, and witness to all the proceedings. It ap pears further, that Torquay had nil:kit . ) , increased within a few years, and at the period of ' Merchetti's application (and now) was more populous, and more productive of taxes, than Teigninouth, where several hotels have been opened : that Merchetti is a person ad mitted to be of unexceptionable character, and that the sole reason (or rather motive) assigned for disappointing him of his licence,was its being agreeable to the Magistrates resident near the spot that the licence should not be granted. Mr. Kitson, a Justice, is reported to have said, that " by courtesy the opinion of the neighbour ing Magistrates was relied on," and this com plaisance towards each other's personal preju dices or interests Nvas actually bandied about among their worships as a sound exercise of thy " discretion" vested in them by Act of Parlia went. But with this word " discretion" there seems to have been connected a curious medley of notions and sentiments in the minds of the worshipful Magistrates, and of their professional advocate, who ought to have known better. The question, quoth Mr. Crowder, the magisterial counsel—the question is, whether any undue influence had been proved (!) on the part Of Sir Lawrence Palk ? Indeed, the Worthy 13a ronet must have had a skull more adorned by the bump of o it iunduei f his worshipful influencee ol°;(si l(leis those )as etaln to withi place p:s lasithan against e thl eveniee whomnp the ave ragefg e t do l, fll - as 1 1 exerted. A u.OO whisper foledv at:o;lec evidence. s b w r \ o e%r t r li ld e a r t e J In. ouorsnyt nonsense, er z . : " proofs!" Wh y , t h e A uc t s t p h h o i s ' n t e l abt oof but that were proveable, were notorious, and ample. Sir Lawrence Palk's tenant was enabled to pay a higher rent for his hotel, by having a »monopoly of the whole fashionable prodigality of Torquay. Another person prays for a slice of the business, and the more distant Magistrates answer, " Oh, impossible ! for by courtesy (mark, not by law), the neighbouring Magistrate determines for those more remote from the scene under controversy." And who is in this case the neighbouring Magi strate ? Why, Sir Lawrence, to be sure, whose property, if not his person, is at Torquay. If this does not speak for itself to any man of plain un derstanding, the deuce is in the Act of Parlia ment, that is all we can say to the busi ness. Yet Mr. Crowder, good man, in the sim plicity of' his heart exclaims, prove undue influ ence, or there is an end of your appeal ! And adds this very alarming question—Whether the Magistrates are to have " any discretion ?" W e object to every part of the - view taken by the Learned Advocate, both to that affirmed in his proposition, and to that which his interrogatory supposes. There is, or ought to be, no end to an appeal, merely because corrupt influence can not be demonstrated. The object of the Act of Parliament was not confined to care for the de licacy or official reputation of country gentlemen. The chief solicitude of the law,—so at least we may assume,—is for the public. If a petty bench of Magistrates has acted stupidly or ca priciously, or even with good intentions has worked inconvenience to the community, and loss to a deserving individual, the County Ses sions ought not to make an end of an appeal, except by repairing the consequences of the ca price, or stupidity, by removing the inconve nience and redressing the wrong. A discre tionary power must not be abused through folly or incompetency, more than through positive corruption ; and a county bench of Justices ought to despise the shallowness of him who de precates their casting a reproach on the judg ment or sound discretion of particular Maps crates, which effect would be of less than no im portance compared with that of leaving either the public or the appellant to bear an inconve nience, for the redress of which time law has in stituted time valuable right of appeal. Iu this instance we are happy to find, that without eon descending to notice the trashy talk of counsel about corrupt influence, and so forth, the County Sessions of Devonshire reversed the monopoly decision, and established the appellant's case by granting him his licence.—limes. The account of the proceedings yesterday at the London Sessions forms an admirable com mentary on the objections which have been lately urged by some of our contemporaries to the en croachments on the liberty of the subject by the New Police. lii truth, we are altogether a strange people. We allow ourselves to be de prived of a hundred innocent enjoyments, for nu conceivable reason ; and while we are as patient as asses under real encroachments on liberty, we task our wits to discover in measures neces sary 'to the security of person and property, and therefore calculated to add materially to our hap ness and comfort, a possibility at some future period, and under certain circumstances, of being made use of in opposition to our liberties. We turn from immediate and pressing evils to evils of speculation. In applying for a music license for the Queen's Arms Tavern, Cheapside, Mr. Adolphus stated, that under the existing law, if at the London Tavern the Duke of York's band play " God save the King" without a music license, a penalty is inevitable ; and he instanced the case of Mr. Munns, against whom two ac tions had been brought because his daughter played the pianoforte in his house. Mr. Adol phus a o d o d 4 e b d y , a info t r a m i a n t a i ns had of tmadethis k b i n e d t conse quuence of the unfortunate communication which he had happened to make in that Court respecting the state of the law on the subject. exceedingly ei Mr. dstoo as shi to disclose t Adolphus osn(clit his ili characteristic. re; a‘o pic , ocsitf e etelwra e of English iocisipteliicecdir:aetini legi have sltally, ation is • the sub ject so un -and—unaatned • thus to he the means of drawing into effect a most inju ious and unnecessary piece of legislation—was; enacted on account of the robberies committed in Henry Fielding's time, in the reign of George the

Second. That author had represented the dan ger, ar i s i ng from the practice of fiddling in low public-houses, which were thus curbed by the proper authorities." Thus, because music pos sessed au attraction for the people, and assem- Wages were favourable to robberies, music was put down. An innocent source of enjoyment to the people was closed by a bungling Legisla ture, because it knew how to check the effusions of gaiety, but did not know how to check rob bery. The influence of music can hardly fail to he beneficial in the ease of the lower orders, as it must serve to withdraw them from gross sen snalitY. Mr. _Adolphus added, " When I was vonng, men used to meet at taverns and public tsobses to sing noisy songs, and Wink. The introduction of music, skilfully performed, gave a check to this boisterous mirth. People now :assemble to hear scientific efforts of the voice, with accompaniments, and all tap-room roaring is quite out of fashion." Mr. Loudon states that he found even in the lowest country public-houses in Germany a pianoforte, that the people might in dulge themselves in music and dancing. The re matk of the Recorder is admirable I, for one, cannot consent to the giving of these new music licsatses. I do not think that they can be of any public benefit." In this country, it seems, a man is not entitled to liberty of action in cases - Akre that liberty is not injurious to others, but lie is to be deprived of his liberty because a Magistrate cannot see what benefit would be derived from it. Precious idea of liberty ! One Justice of the Peace has not made up his mind as to the tendency of this Act ; a second has not made up his mind as to the tendency of Another Act ; and it is quite enough that those sages cannot discover that the Acts would be productive of any evil to interdict. them. Eng lish liberty means the liberty of m ono p o ly— t h e liberty to interfere with the occupations and amusements of the people—the liberty to poison them— the liberty to pillage them—the liberty to subject them to laws, which even Magistrates Are taught to know by the persecution commen ce d under them by common informers. Mr. Alder- Man Heygate was startled when Mr. Adolphus mentioned the London Tavern—" Do you say, that if music was played at the London Tavern, without a Music License, the owner would be liable to a penalty ? If that be the case, the law ought to be altered as soon as possible." A little before he had said, " there was a difficulty in drawing a line between the houses which ought, and those which ought not to b e li cenced ;" but when it wa s brought home through the London Tavern to Aldermen and the like, the difficulty vanished !—Morning Chronicle. The trial of the prisoners under the Special COMMiSSiOII at Cork, for conspiring to murder George Bond Low, Esq., Admiral Evans, and Arthur Creagh, Esq., three Magistrates of the county, is of great importance, as tending to bring to light one of the most extensive and dangerous confederacies of sanguinary violence that has disgraced the South of Ireland in modern times. We can recollect time taunting and contemptuous manner in which this diabolical conspiracy was alluded to, up to the very eve of trial, by the Popish Press of Dublin, whose ridicule was re echoed by the " liberal" papers on this side of the water. The existence of the conspiracy is DOW placed beyond a doubt. It is written in the records of criminal justice, and seldom are its pages stained with the recital of acts of more hardened guilt or darker depravity. Where such a conspiracy, at a period of no peculiar excite ment, could strike root and extend itself as this has done, serious and alarming indeed must be the demoralization of the people. Here we have a number of persons, not driven to the commis sion of crime by want, not stung to desperate deeds by poverty, or made reckless by despair, but men in comfortable circumstances, binding themselves by the most sacred obligations of re ligion to take away the lives of Magistrates whose crime was the not submitting to the authority of the secret tribunals of popular terror. It is too well known that, in the West and South of Ire land, where Protestantism is comparatively li mited and weak, great numbers of the peasantry have enacted a law against the law of the land, to which landlords must submit or be put under the ban of what is called time Rockite system. Many of them have not the courage to resist this rural tyranny, and, by yielding obedience to the de crees of the " terrorists," increase the insolence of the Agrarian banditti. This makes the situa tion of men of uncompromising spirit doubly hazardous. One of these men is r. Bond Low, who has accordingly had to pass through the fiery ordeal" of more direct attempts at assas sination than any individual, perhaps, now alive. His determined courage has preserved him in the midst of the most appalling perils. Not long since he seized one of the armed ruffians that fired at him, and brought him to justice. He subsequently maintained a conflict alone against two assas sins, well armed—one of whom escaped wounded, and the other he shot dead. If' Magistrates in general, in the disturbed parts of Ireland, acted with the intrepidity of Mr. Low, the Rockites would soon get tired of their hedge-firing heroism. This gentleman and his two brother Magistrates who had made themselves obnoxious to the " finest peasantry in the world" by similar firm ness of conduct, were to be taken off at all hazards. If the Irish Government had been re mise in this instance, or—acting on the timid principle of expediency—had neglected to vin dicate the laws, the consequence would in course of time have been dreadful. A consciousness of impunity would have increased the numbers of the banditti, who were organised in a commu nion of blood. Very properly, therefore, did the Solicitor-General say, in stating the.case for the prosecution, that " Government claimed the merit of having discharged its duty in bringing on these trials. If the prisoners were not guilty of the crimes imputed to them, it was but right that they should be restored to their liberty and their character. If they were guilty— if the association of which they were said to form a part existed—their punishment cannot be too immediate; those associated could not be too soon grappled with. Such an rs;ociation, if not put down fearlessly by the law and the legitimate tribunals of time land, would put them down." He then went on to state what he understood would be shown in evi dence, " that there existed in the country a secret association—bound by oaths—organized—hav ing captains and committees—exercising an awful controul over too many of our unfortunate people, at whose bidding burglary, robbery, and murder, were perpetrated—wh o had but to issue their orders to be obeyed." This is an alarm ing state of' things; but it is only to be met by courage in the Magistrates, and the fearless and impartial enforcement of the laws by Govern meta. We hare no doubt that the result of the present trials will strike awe into the guilty as complices, and make such atrocious confede racies less popular.—Morning Herald. A pamphlet has just been put into our hands, entitled, " Important Information to the Agri culturist, Mechanic, and Labourer, who in tends to emigrate to the New Settlement on the Swan River ;" which, as the subject is now rife, it may be considered that we are bound to notice. The patnplet is said, on the title page, to proceed from the pen of Mr. John Burton Gooch, though whether Mr. Gooch be a rear or imaginary personage, we have not, at present, the means of knowing. On perusing it, how ever, we find that the author possesses no know ledge on the subject on which he addresses the public, beyond that which is possessed by every one who has visited colonial establishments : and that the important information given in the pamphlet, refers entirely either to hints to passengers in vessels bound to the New Set- Clement, or to the author's observations on the policy of emigrating to New South Wales. On points of this nature the pamphlet may be useful--in any othe , - respect it contains nothing which might not be learned from almost any other source. We take this opportunity, however, to observe respecting migration, either to the Swan River or to any other new settle ment, that no one ought to adopt such a step who is not satisfied, in the first place, that he cannot work out a satisfactory livelihood at home —and, in the second, who is not prepared to en counter all manner of hardships and disadvan tages during the first years of his settlement. To those, as the writer of the pamphlet very Justly observes, who possess youth, some portion of capital, a knowledge of agriculture, and the requisite qualifications of industry and perse verance, there can be no question that emigration, either to the Swan River, or to any other new settlement, would prove " a mine of wealth ;" but let us add, that, on the other hand, there is no hope for those who do not possess those re quisites. There are, as yet, no houses at the Swan River—no markets where provisions can be purchased—no society—no newspapers—no li terature—no theatres—no any thin g , in fact (to use a homely expression), in the shape of Eng lish comfort ; and those in consequence who go there in expectation of finding the latter, will be egregiously disappointed ; but there is a good climate, and good soil, and abundance of the means of comfort to those who may choose to labour-in order to procure them, and those as suredly, who are content to put up with such an uncomfortable beginning as they must experience at first, and to place their hopes of reward on a life of toil, will have no cause to regret their choice. The first emigrant, provided he be in dustrious and persevering, is always certain to be wealthy in the end ; but when countries have been fairly located (to use an American phrase), there is but little difference beyond the certainty of subsistence, between the mother country and the new settlement.— Morning. Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. IJATTON-GARDEN. John Reilly, keeper of the Cock public-house, in Buckeridge-street, St. Giles's, yesterday appeared upon a summons before the sitting Magistrates, Mr. ROGERS and Mr. LAING, to answer a complaint pre ferred against him at the instance of the Magistrates themselves, by some of the new police, for keeping a disorderly house. The Magistrates, after warning him to be parti cularly cautious in future, ordered him to pay tilt-- costs of the summons, &c., and dismissed the com plaint. BOW-STREIif. Yesterday Mr. Powell, Secretary to the Water loo.br:dge Committee, came before Mr. HALLS, the sitting Magistrate, accompanied by Caleb Tilt, the toll-taker of the bridge, against horn a com plaint for passing a counterfeit shilling upon a gen tleman who tendered hint one in payment of toll, was preferred at this office on Monday, and reported in The Sun of Tuesday. Mr. Powell stated that the complaint was with out foundation, and produced the copy of an affidavit, in which Tilt deposed that the shilling handed to him by the gentleman was a counterfeit ; and to prove that it was so, he bent it with his teeth at the mo ment, which circumstance induced thegentleman to believe that the shilling which was returned to htm was not the one which l.e gave to Tilt. Mr. Powell added, that Tilt was a man in whom the utmost eon fidence was placed. He had been employed a- toll taker for the last twelve years, and never had a charge brought against him before. Mr. HaLLs advised Mr. Powell to bring forward the gentleman who had made the charge, in order that Tilt might prove his statement in his presence. Mr. Powell said he would have done so, but the gentleman was out of town, told it was desirable to contradict the statement with as little delay as possible. A young man named Yarmouth and a well dressed young woman named Charlotte Freeland, were charged with having obstructed Police Serjeant No. 4, letter F., while in the execution of his duty. The serjeant, while on duty the preceding night, in Pickett-street, Strand, observed a boy carrying a bundle, and stopped him. The boy being unable to account for the bundle, which consisted of household linen, his mother was sent for to Clement's-lane, for the purpose of ascertaining the truth or falsehood of the statement he had given. While be (the serjeant) was waiting for the mother, the female prisoner came out of a brothel, called the Crown Hotel, and began to abuse him in the most shameful manner. The male defendant then came up, and knocked his (the serjeant's) hat over his eyes, and then began pushing him about, assisted by a parcel of Jews, in whose company he was, and the rabble who were collected to the spot. The female prisoner denied the charge, and said she had not come out of the Crown Hotel, or any such place. Yarmouth declared that he was knocked about like a bullock by the serjeant. In proof of the hard treatment he had met with, he said he received so severe a blow upon the forehead, that it was next to a miracle it had not caused his death. Mr. lIALLs observed that this was keeping the peace with a vengeance. It was nor, he conceived, the duty of the police to crack people's heads in this manner without_ rhyme or reason. He (Mr. Halls) regretted to see that the police were assuming more authority than they were justified in exercising. Yarmouth expressed his determination to indict the setjeant for an assault. Mr. Edge, of Essex street, Strand, waited npon Mr. HALLS, to ask that Magistrate's advice and as sistance under these circumstances :—The Magistrate would recollect that his house in Essex-street had been attempted to be robbed several times, and in deed had been entered on two occasions and property carried off to a considerable amount. A young man named Sandford, now in Newgate, together with a man named Leslie, for the attempt to rob the pre mises of Mr. Stultz the tailor, had lived servant with him (Mr. Edge), and there was good reason for believing that he had pat ticipated in both robberies. Since his confinement in Newgate, he (Mr. Edge) had received a great many threatening letters, con veyirg the most abominable menaces, in consequence of the part which he had taken in bringiug Sandford and Leslie to justice. A letter of the same de scripticn he received that morning ; and, wishing to put an end to the annoyance, he submitted it to the Magistrate, who would Le kind enough to advise him how he ought to act. Mr. Edge here handed to the Magistrate a note, ')caring the pot-mask of the Strand upon it, and Addressed to " Edge, Ez-A ; private." The note was as follows: " You rogue, cut your throat if you do not go single to the Spotted Dog, Strand, to-mor row, at half-past fire in the evening (Wednesday), ;Ind leave 61. for me. Remember my poor compa nions whe are in prison. " THE DEVIL'S WIFE." Mr. ITALLS having perused the above, gave direc tions to Ford and another officer to take the matter in hand. LONDON SESSIONS, OCT. 28. These Sessions commenced this day before the Lord Mayor, Recorder, and a Bench of Aldermen. After the disposal of some caves of assault, of no importance to the public, several petitions were handed into Court, praying. for Music Licences; in discussing the merits of which the Court was occu pied until a very late hour. The first was from slr. lanes, of the Queen's Arms Tavern, Cheapside and Pancras-lane. The petition set forth, that as many of the customers of the house were foreigners, they were, according to the customs of their country, inclined for musical accompaniments at their dinners, &c.; and that without a license from the Magistrates the playing of such instruments would be visited with a large penalty. Mr. ADommus, in applying for the license, said that his client was most powerfully supported by the most respectable inhabitants of the Ward, all of whom, with the exception of one or two, had signed the petition—seven Common Councilmen, and IGO of the inhabitants and firms. Mr. BROOKE (Deputy of the Ward) begged to be heard on this subject. He hatl no doubt what ever of the good character of the house, or that good order would be maintained in it ; but he would put it to the Bench, whether such a thing as music is ne cessary in such a house in this great city ? - He had. every respect for the petitioner, but he could not see what a public house wanted with a band of music. If a license were granted, every public-house in the Ward—and there were eleven—would consider it self entitled. The music, whatever might be said, never added to the pleasantry or harmony of a room. Mr. ADOLPIIus said that the Act now - yin operation upon- the subject—and the nature of which he had been so unfortunate as to. disclose accidentally, and thus to be the innocent cause of drawing into effect a most injurious and unnecessary piece of legisla tion—was enacted on account of the robberies com mitted in Henry Fielding's time, in the reign of George the Second. That author had represented the dangers arising from the practice of fiddling in low public-houses, which were thus curbed by the proper authorities. But the present application was from a house of the first respectability, most power fully supported. Alderman HEYGATE said, there was a difficulty in drawing a line between the houses which ought and those which ought not to be licensed. Alderman BIRCH—Have they a room capable of holding parties of great extent ? Mr. Brooke—Oh, yes; it is near my house ; it is up a court, and close to the watch-house. Alderman HEYGATE—That is a recommenda tion; it is sure of being well protected between the Deputy and the guardians of the night.—(A laugh.) Mr. BROOKE—I am Mr. Innes's neighbour, and the Deputy of the Ward ; and he never applied to me till he applied to all the rest of the Ward, and then I told him I felt it my duty to oppose the ap plication. The RECORDER—I, for one, cannot consent to the giving of these new music licenses. I do not think that they can be of any public benefit. Mr. ADOLPHUS—MusicaI licences are beneficial, as the state of the times has been greatly changed. When I was young, men used to meet at taverns :Ind public-houses, to sing noisy songs and drink. The introduction of music, sUfully performed, gave a check to this boisterous mirth. People now as semble to hear scientific efforts of the voice, with accompaniments, and all tap-room roaring is quite out of fashion; and yet such is the virtue of the old Act, that if, at the London Tavern, the Duke of York's Band play " God save the King," without a music licence, a penalty is inevitable. Alderman FAREBROTIIER expressed a doubt of the correctness of this assertion. Mr. ADomtus repeated it. In one case—that of Mr. Munns, who is about to apply for a licence—two actions had been brought because his daughter• played the piano-forte in the house. Alderman FAREBRoTHER—But they are not tried yet ? Mr. ADOLPHUS—No ; one has been compro mised, and the other hangs over him. Alderman FARERROTHER—StiII that says no• thing; for neither has been tried. Mr. ADOLPHUS—It is not likely that a publican would compromise with a common informer, with out being alvised by a tau yer. You may depend upon it, that the advice upon which be acted was good. I know that a man has made between 3001. and 4001. by informations of this kind, in conse quence of the unfortunate information which I hap pened to give in this Court; and about 40 or 50 years ago, one Shepherd made much more. Alderman HEYGATE—DO you say, that if the music was played at the London Tavern, without a music license, the owner is liable to a penalty ? If that be the case, the law ought to be altered as soon as possible. Alderman BIRCII—In all cases of application for licenses, the regular mode is for the Alderman and Common Council of the Ward to sign the petition first. This has not been done ; the signature of the Lord Mayor, who is Alderman of the Ward, is not here. Let it go back for those signatures. Mr. ADOLPHUS—The thing can only be done this day. If it be not granted to-day, we must wait a whole year. Do not act as they do in Po land—proceed to the last extremities without sheav ing any reason. Mr. BROOKE—The Lord Mayor told me the license was not wanted, and he would not consent to give it. Mr. Innes said he spoken to the Lord Mayor, but had received neither assent nor rejection. Mr. BROOKE—But I come upon this authority to refuse it. Mr. Innes—The Lord Mayor took the Chair at my opening dinner, and approved of and shews his respect for my house, Alderman HEYGATE-It seems to me that the state of the law is very singular. I think the license ought to be granted ; you granted a similar license last year to a house iib Smithfield, why refuse this ? It is only for one year; if the house should be ill conducted during the year, you can refuse its re newal. Mr. BROOKE—One of the gentlemen who did not sign the petition said to me, that songs of a certain description were sung in the house.—(A laugh.) Mr. CLARKE (the Clerk of the Arraigns) stated, that the signatures of four Magistrates were requi site to a house licence; and as there were but four OH the bench, and one had decidedly given his nega tive, the first petition was disposed of.—Negatived. The next petition was that of Mr. Morris, of the White Hart, in Bishopsgate-street. The RECORDER shook his head, and this was also negatived. The George Inn, Smithfield, was the next ne gatived. The application of Mr. Munns, who was alluded to in Mr. Adolphus's speech, was next taken into consideration. Alderman FAREBROTHER—Did the petitioner's (laughter play in the public room that the penalties have been sought for. Mr. A1)01,1 , 111:5 It does not signify. If she was heard to play in private, the penalty is incurred. Alderman HEYGATE—IS there any case in which t person playing without being hire! has subjected a landlord to a penalty ? Mr. ADOLPHUS—No doubt of it. 'lhere are fifty. Alderman HErOATE—Then I am sure the law should at once he altered.—Negatived. 'I he next c ise was that of the Golden Ball, King street, Moorfields.—Negati ved. Nit. Hubbard, Deputy-Steward of the Liberty of Duke's-place, applied for a music license for the Fishmongers' Arms, in Duke's-place, upon the ground that a great many Jews' weddings were ce lebrated in the house, and that on such occasions music was indispensable. Alderman HEYGATE said that it would certainly be hard to refuse this application. Mr. Apor.Pllus—lf you refuse this license, you make a wedding as melancholy as a funeral. lhe Jews are a most musical people; and we are greatly indebted in our public entertainments to them. Alderman HEYGATE—No doubt this license ought to be granted. Mr. ADOLPHITs—AII who read the Bible know that music arid dancing formed part of the religious ceremonies of the days of antiquity. The RECORDER shook his head, and the license was negatived. Mr. Hubbard next applied for a license for Howard's Coffee-house, also a Jews' house, in Duke's-place. The Steward of the Court Baron stated that the Lord Mayor had, as Baron, promised to sanction and assist the petitioners in their application. The RECORDER-4 have been at fifty parish meet ings, and I never knew oue to take place ut a pub lic-house. Mr. ADOLPHUS said it was a common practice for the Jews to marry in the most public manner in a public-room, instead of the synagogue. They receiv ed, every body knew, donations on such occasions. The RECORDER would not consent, and the license was negatived. The next house refused a license was the Castle Tavern, Mark-lane. RENEWAL OF A 3ICSIC LICENSE. Mr. ADoLmus applied for the renewal of the music license of Mr. Mayne, of the Golden Lion, Smithfield. The license had been granted last year, and the house had been carefully and most respect ably conducted. The last year's license was signed by Aldermen Sir J. Perring, Ansley, and Fare brother, and by the Recorder. Alderman HEYGATE—There can be no objection to this, surely. _ _ _ Alderman FAREBROTTIER said he heard an officer complain against the house, as a night house. Mr. Mayne said it was opened on the nights of the markets, but there %vas no music on such occasions. The Beadle—No notice has been given to the Alderman of the band. We are taken by surprise here. The petition has been handed into the Court within this half-hour. Mr. ADOLPHUS pleaded hard for the license, which he at last succeeded in obtaining; but not until his client had pledged himself to give up the night business altogether. TIIE NEW OPERATION FOR STONE. (From the Medical Gazette.) TO THE EDITOR. Stu,—As Baron Heurteloup has allowed me to read the manuscript of a work on Lithotrity, which he is preparing for the press, anti it will be some time before it can be published, I have availed my self of his permission to extract such observations a., in the mean time, I think most likely to afford information to your readers on this important sub ject. With this view, I have much pleasure in for warding them to you for insertion in the Gazelle. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, Oct. 11, 1829. J. RUTHERFORD ALCOCK. From the danger and pain of the operation of lithotomy, scientific men for ages had endea voured to find some milder means of relieving calculous patients. Chemistry and galvanism were tried in vain, and mechanical means were resorted to ; but the only success that attended them was the partial relief of the patient. Some instruments destined to seize small stones lodged in the urethra were the only results. The en deavour by these means to withdraw stones from the bladder, when they were very small, some times succeeded ; but the idea of crushing stones by instruments through the natural passage, had not been put in execution. The belief which all surgeons entertained of the necessity of an in strument being curved to enable it to be passed into the bladder, was a difficulty which baffled all their efforts ; for it was impossible to develop an instrument with this curve that would destroy calculi, often voluminous and hard. It was not, then, until it was proved that a straight sound, three or four lines in diameter, might be passed, that the attention of surgeons was more particularly and successfully directed to finding the means of breaking up stones in the bladder by aa instrument passed through the urethra. Many mechanical combinations formed upon this principle were the result of their labours; but, of all these, two only have received the sanction of experience as fitted for practical purposes. The one is that known by the name of" perce pierre," or " instrument a trois branches," which was the first employed ; and the other is mine, noticed by the Institute, and in which I have en deavoured to obviate the defects of those which preceded them, in cases where the calculi were more than eight lines in diameter. The art of curing calculous patients, like every other branch of the science, fell far short of per fection in the commencement, and could only be brought to that state by progressive steps of im provement ; it was, therefore, not to be expected that the first instruments invented should be the most perfectly adapted to their end. The means employed might appear very inge nious and satisfactory in the first case, and yet, even while admired, give rise to some ideas for their improvement, by the observations of defects or imperfections. Experience would necessarily suggest amelioration in proportion as new indi cations were observed. It was thus that, after having repeatedly em ployed the " perce pierre," I found that this in strument became insufficient in proportion as the stone increased in size, and that, to render litho trity applicable to the majority of cases, it was necessary to devise means of breaking up the stones more promptly, and with less injury to the bladder. A short description will enable my readers to appreciate the nature and end of th e l a b ours I thought it desirable to undertake, with a view to enlarge the limited resources of.lithotrity. The action of the three-branch instrument is limited to making a perforation each time the stone is seized of the diameter of the tube intro duced in the urethra ; this hole, then, can never be to the extent of the diameter of the stone, when it exceeds 10 or 12 lines. It necessarily follows, that the calculus can only be broken after having frequently repeated these inefficient perforations, which can only be done by allowing the stone to fall to the bottom of the bladder, in order to re-seize it and pre 7 sent the stone in another position for the action of the perforator. It will easily be seen, without bringing any P' roofs how much thi s l e f t to b e d es i re d, espe cially when it was required to break up a stone of a certain size ; for, to d7,_. it was necessary to seize the stone in order to perforate it—to release it—retake it, to make a second hole, and renew this manwuvre until the body was broken. After this each fragment was again to be seized, to submit it. to the crushing process. The con sideration of these steps certainly gives the idea that this instrument is tedious, and often painful in its application. I have endeavoured to improve upon this by means of my own peculiar combinations, and think I have succeeded in rendering that part of the operation which consists in breaking the stones, as simple, prompt, and gentle, as possible. The stone, seized without difficulty in the blad der, and strongly held, is perforated first by a head, which, at the first attack, makes a hole in the calculus four lines in diameter. This per foration is succeeded, without loosing the stone, by another stilet, adapted to enlarging the hole already made. I thus excavate the calculus, the centre is reduced to powder, and the circumfe rence falls into the bladder in the form of a shell, or excavated fragments. If we consider that this result (the breaking up of the stone, effected with the " perce pierre," &ter a great number of perforations) is obt a in e d with this system of excavation, by seizing the stone once, and submitting it to the action of the instrument but once ; that during the opera tion there is scarcely any movement of the in strument, and the breaking up of the stone takes place in a bladder filled with water previously injected, and which can be renewed at pleasure, the advantages resulting from the use of these instruments, in skilful hands, will be easily ap preciated. To these favourable circumstances must be added the position of the patient and the steadi ness of the instrument, which I obtain by means of the little bed, or rather a kind of arm-chair, on which I place the patient, when the volume of the stone is such as to require the use of the excavating instruments. On this bed the patient is seated in a commodious situation, and the in strument grasping the stone is fixed in a kind of vice, which is either moveable or fixed at plea sure ; so that, while the operation is going on, the patient is perfectly unaware of what is pass ing ; and this ought evidently to be the case, since _he instrument does not move, the action of the stilet being within it, and in the middle of the water previously injected. It was for the invention of this instrument for excavation that the " encouragement" was awarded to me two years ago by the learned body which has since conferred upon me the great prize of surgery for the " important im provements" I had further effected in the art of lithotritv.* This last improvement is the instrument I have called brisecoque, and which completes the set I have constructed in the intention of curing patients, by means of lithotrity, with the greatest possible chance of success. The operation of crushing the stone was certainly rendered less tedious and fatiguing by its excavation, thus breaking it up at the first attack ; but there was more yet to be done. The result of the excavation I practised was the reducing the calculus to shell fragments and powder, which last was immediately voided with the urine. The fragments, though too large to pass by the urethra, were reduced to a state in which the slightest pressure would crush them. It became of importance to construct some means of promptly breaking these shells, against which the excavating instruments were useless. I first endeavoured to make use of the three branch instrument, and employed it in the ter mination of the first operations I performed ; but I remarked that the action of this instru ment was slow on stones when entire, and left much to be desired even in the destruction of fragments, especially those which were flat and excavated, resulting from the action of the " evideur." I thought that if I had been forced, by the small diameter allowed for the instruments, to employ an excavating or progressive action, that, now I had only fragments to attack, I might, with advantage, change the system, and replace the slow and gradual action of a drill by the more prompt and energetic one of two branches moved by a peculiar mechanism, so as to break the fragments as soon as seized. It was the instrument resulting from this that I called the brisecoque, as indicative of the use for which it was destined, and in which I have succeeded beyond my hopes in combining the necessary elements for the prompt and perfect destruction of the stones. This instrument is, in effect, by the facility %%ith which it is manoeuvred, the rapidity and energy of its action, at the same time that its movements are gentle, far superior to the " perce pierre " for the destruction of small stones, or the fragments of large ones ; for its action must necessarily very much abridge the number of sit tings, and the fatigue of the patient ; and, con sequently, increase the chance of success. If I have rendered these details sufficiently clear to be understood, it will be observed that I have much abridged the operation ; since, first, in large stones I have substituted a system of excavation requiring only one attack, and there fore only one seizure of the stone, for a system of repeated perforation which required several attacks and searches in the bladder. Secondly, when small stones were to be destroyed, or frag ments of large ones, I have replaced the per forating by a grinding system, which, by its powerful action, reduces the stone to powder much more quickly, and with less fatigue to the bladder. Such are the modifications which I have in troduced in the means for crushing calculi. It was necessary it should be distinctly understood in what these consisted, for they ought to ma terially change the general results of the opera tion ; for where the three-branch instrument would fail, these instruments completely succeed, which has been already proved by cases. I have thus then, in augmenting the chances of cure by lithotrity, by adding to the powers of the instruments, diminished the number of cases which will require the operation of lithotomy. Let us hope that the time will come when the necessity of this operation will be entirely ob viated, and Nl= that disease, Which is with rea son lookee upon with dread, will become one of little consequence, and quite under the command of our curative means. * This prize was awarded by the Institute of France, two years ago, upon the report wade of Baron H eur t e l ou p' s instruments by M.

GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS, Pertable Cisterns and Portable Filters of all Dimensions. BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT. THE prevailing opinion of the impurity of the Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this City, is ea well founded, and so amply borne out by the numerous Testiauouials of the most Eminent of the Metropolitan P acuitY, that an y comment i n thi s p l ace wou ld app ea r like questioning the national common sense. We will therefore confine our observations to the evidence given by Dr. JASIES JOHNSON and Dr. KERRISON, in their exa mination in the House of Commons. f. tr • James JOH NSON , the author of the " Treatise on l urgestion," prormances the water to be disgusting to the s lflhts and the effluvia to affect the senses. And h e t h us concludes—., We sneer," says the doctor, "at the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at th , °lame tank niters his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; ut What shall we say to the delicate citizens of Weatmin- Iller, who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou sand cloaca, containing EVERY SPECIES OF FILTH AND ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily di-gorging their hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro 'Pelis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity will shudder, if they can credit it." Dr. KERRISON makes us acquainted with a fact, the Perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in *Pitting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital, he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rene high sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED IPLOATING FILTH FROM PRIVIES;" from which he Con cludes, that "a considerable quantity of human excre- Melo, in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually Passes into our cisterns." This mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies, the meet turh*l, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a crystallin e b r illi ancy, and at the same t i me most e ff ectually destroying both SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to Cisterns enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the trouble of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and , ensures an effectual preventive against the possibility of enlploying any other Water than that which has passed the Filter, either for Culinary operations, or in fact for any d omestic purposes. The rapidity of the process of Filtra• lion, stands conspicuous amongst its advantages. The Pro prietordoes notstate the precise number of Gallons capable of 6 '4 produced ; but is enabled confidently to assert that so fast as the Water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast will it discharge itself from the bottom in a highly purified state---Its moderate Price, (from Three Guineas upwards, but rarely exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimensions ef Cisterns) by rendering it attainalde to all Housekeepers, . loafers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the cause of a multitude of Diseases, which are justly attri atable to the noxious particle contained in the Water. To accommodate Private Families who desire to have Portable Filters, it is respectfully suggested that they are to be had of all dimensions at the Office is the Strand, and are forwarded to all parts of England.

The Royal Filter, upon thiw plan, will chrystallize and Pittify as much water in the course of the day as the largest c onsumption of a family can desire. • There are also Portable Cisterns, capable of filtering • 'front 900, to 500 gallons, every 24 hours. These can be . !Out to 'any part of the country. • Tih Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera - t an; cuaz be inspected, at the Office of the Patentee, rge Robins, N«. 69, Strand, opposite the Adelphi Thea!re, where Orders are requested to be addressed.

SALES BY AUCTION. OLD WINDSOR LODGE. A DELIGHTFUL FREEHOLD RESIDENCE in the Rural Village of Ohl Windsor, environed by its Plea sure Grounds, Shrubbery Walks, ,and Park Meadows, and within Two Miles of the Royal Palace. Immediate possession may be had. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 14th of May, at Twelve, by direction of Captain Stevens. riIHIS ELEGANT FREEHOLD RE SIDENCE, has very long been distinguished as OLD WINDSOR-LODGE, and it is proverbial in the neighbourhood, that it possesses more of family comfort than most of its rival compeer. The exterior presents a handsome uniform front, screened from the road by prolific Shrubberies and Pleasure Grounds, and the interior will be found to combine all the accommodation a family of respectability can desire. The principal rooms are of not.le proportions, overlooking the far-famed Church of Old Windsor, and the interesting scenery from thence to " THE PALACE OF WINDSOR CASTLE." The Bed-chambers and secondary apartments are all of the best description, and the domestic arrangement is alto gether so complete as to leave nothing to be desired. THIS RURAL AND ALWAYS - ENVIED ABODE is embosomed in its extensive and delightful pleasure grounds, with shrubbery walks, adorned by an infinity of choice shrubs and American plants, giving a green fresh ness to the walks even in the dreary months of winter. THE DOMAIN IS ABOUT 18 ACRES, and all Freehold. In front of the Residence is an Acre of Ground laid out in Garden and Ornamental Water, with Shrubbery Walks, which nearly surround it. There is a double Coach-house, Stabling for Twelve Horses ; and in the Court-yard will be found every office essential to family comfort. It would he superfluous to enlarge upon the neighbourhood, since it has long been admitted that in no part of England it can he surpassed. The Estate can only be viewed with cards, from Twelve till Four, and particulars had 21 days prior to the Sale, at the Inns at Windsor and Salt Hill ; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London. BENJAMIN WEST, LATE PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY, To offer for unreserved competition, on FRIDAY, SA TURDAY, and MONDAY, the 22d, 23d, and 25th days of Alay, at Twelve o'Clock, THE UNEQUALLED COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL PICTURES, _ _ Including 170 of the SUBLIME EFFORTS of his vast and comprehensive mind. The great renown acquired by this distinguished orna ment of his Art, will necessarily circumscribe the necessity , of going into a very long detail : this is fortunate, inas much as the appalling difficulty of doing strict justice would weaken the humble effort, and thus render more im perfect a sketch, that pretends not to give more than a very faint outline of the brilliant picture, to which a much more talented man would feel himself incompetent to do adequate justice. In viewing this SPLENDID EXHIBITION OF THE FOUNDER AND FATHER or• BRITISH HISTORICAL PAINTING, The nation at large will lament that in times like these, when the march of intellect and improvement has made such rapid strides, so great a treasure as MR. WEST'S GALLERY Should be left to the hazard and uncertainty of the ham mer; it was surely not appreciating too highly the English taste and liberality to contemplate THE BRITISH INSTITUTION AND NATIONAL GALLERY Becoming the depository of this entire Collection, and thus transmit to posterity a proud record of what could be accom plished by an Englishman, and in that peculiar art, which had so long remained in its infancy. It was by the generous devotion of his pencil to the noblest aim of his profession, that first brought British Painting into direct association with the Throne, and raised it into an object of national importance in the mind of his Sovereign. It will almost partake of the work of supererogation to state, that until the year 1768, Historical Painting was in no wise encouraged in England, and the immortal West encoun - tered the trial in fear and trembling : how well be suc ceeded future generations will acknowledge,--and the pre sent will, it is believed, add their concurring testimony.— For this proud testimonial of having raised the character of English Historical Art, the public are mainly indebted to the kind and fostering encouragement of his LATE MAJESTY, GEORGE THE THIRD, Who, in the singleness of his mind, and unbounded libe rality, commanded the late President to paint TWENTY TWO PICTURES, to adorn THE ROYAL CHAPEL IN WINDSOR. Our pre,ent Monarch was graciously pleased to restore to Mr. West's family these precious gents; they include the SUBLIME COMPOSITION, MOSES RECEIVING THE LAWS, The universal Deluge and the Crucifixion of Our Saviour. The remaining ones are all appropriate for Altar Pieces. It would far exceed the limit of au advertisement to men tion separately all the Pictures: a very few will demon strate the treat which is in store for those who have not been so fortunate as to see them. CHRIST REJECTED BY THE JEWS, (And for which 10.0001. was refused) was exhibited in Pall-mall, and 240,000 persons were gratified by a sightofi t. DEATH ON THE PALE HORSE, Representing the opening of the first five Seals : the effect proposed to be excited by this Picture is the terribly sub lime, and its various modifications, until lost in the oppo site extremes of pity and horror,—a sentiment which Painting had not, until then, attempted successfully to awaken. This is indeed a chef d'oeuvre ; and the same panegyric might be safely pronounced on the remaining 150 Pictures. The space allotted for this purpose is, however, insufficient, and this imperfect description will end by intreating especial attention to the following : Expulsion of Adam and Eve The Overthrow of the Old The Deluge Beast and False Prophet Abraham and Isaac Telemachus and Mentor on The Resurrection the Island Peter and John Cicero discovering the Tomb The Three Marys of Archimedes The Brazen Serpent Death of Wolfe Saul Prophesying Mark Anthony showing the St. Paul shaking the Viper Rube and Will of Caesar. Christ healing the Infirm Thus has Mr. West left for the admiration of the pre sent and succeeding generations, A SUBLIME SERIES OF PICTURES, Fron Sacred and Profane History, Poetry, and orl- . ginal fancy, including the greater portion of the labour of his link and meritorious A THE 'ONLY LEGACY FOR HIS CHILDREN. West's In AtneriCi, the eihibition one 'of Mr.' West's Pic- tip Healing of the Infirm in the Temple,—(which he presented to the Hospital of Philadelphia gratuitously), produced a sum sufficient to perpetuate the maintenance of twenty-five Pensioners, besides 1,800 guineas to build a room to receive it. To conclude, Sir Thomas Law rence, at the distribution of Prizes to the Students of the Royal Academy, eulogized the late venerable Pre, aident thus : 7 ."

The Albrighton Estate, near Shrewsbury, Advowson, Tithes, &c. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL by AUCTION, in One Lot, at the Auc tion Mart, London, on THURSDAY, May 21, at Twelve, (unless previously disposed of by Private Contract.) This most desirable Property presents to the Capitalist an advantageous mode of Investment, and to the Field Sportsman and Agriculturist an inexhaustible source of pleasure and profitable amusement. This Estate consists of the MANOR OR LORDSHIP OF ALBRIGHTON, well stocked with game, and of the entire Township of Albrighton, containingS3s Acres of Land, now in the pos session of respectable tenants (except 57 Acres of Wood land, in hand) at several yearly rents, amounting together to 1,0801., and upwards. Also the PERPETUAL ADVOWSON or RIGHT of PRESENTATION to the FREE CHAPEL of AL BRIGHTON. Also the GREAT or RECTORIAL TITHES of the adjoining TOWNSHIPS of GREAT and LITTLE WOB LASCOT. THE ALBRIGHTON ESTATE possesses unusually, great local and other advantages:— First—lt is situate within two miles of the POPULOUS TOWN OF SHREWSBURY, proverbial for the opulence, rank, and fashion of its inhabi tants, and not less so for the goodness of its markets, afford ing to the Grazier and Agriculturist a ready sale for the produce of their farms, whatever it may be, close to their own doors, and affording them also the opportunity of ob taining dung and other manure for their land, at a mode rate expence, besides being within three miles of lime; and, next— THE LAND IS FREE OF TITHE, With the exception of a certain portion of corn and bay tithe, and besides, free of parochial rates and dues, the Chapelry and Township of Albrighton maintaining its own poor, by which all the rates and taxes of the farmer are comparatively nothing, not exceeding upon an average of years Is. to Isd. in the pound; and next—Coal of a good quality, and not difficult of access, is known to be in part of the Estate, and which, in the opinion of per sons well acquainted with such matters, might be worked with considerable prospects of advantage by any monied proprietor of judgment and spirit. Annexed there is an ancient, yet a substantially built Mansion on the Estate, the residence of former owners, now occupied by a farmer, and which at an easy expence might be restored to its firmer splendour, a circumstance of no small importance to a Sportsman, from the House being in the centre of the Shropshire Hunt, and a Pack of Harriers being kept in the adjoining parish. Upon the whole, to any person wishing to invest money in the purchase of Land, either for occupation or investment, such an opportunity as the present very rarely occ urs. If required, half the purchase-money may remain on security of the Estate. Any further necessary information may be obtained upon application to Mr. Charles Harrison, solicitor, 43, T.incola's-inn-fields, London ; Messrs. Burley and Scarth, solicitors, Shrewsbury; and Mr. George Robins, of Co vent-garden, London ; who is authorised to treat fur the sale of the whole, by Private Contract. Air. James Brown, of Albrighton, will show the Estate, as will Messrs. Yates and Elsmore, the principal tenants. Printed particulars may be had in due time at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London.

AT HIGHWOOD HILL, IN HERTS, A FEW MILES BEYOND HENDON, THE ADMIRED FREE HOLD RESIDENCE, PARK, AND DOMAIN OF THE LATE SIR THOMAS STAMFORD RAF FLES. 11/ R. GEORGE ROBINS h as th e plea sure-111- to announce that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, on THURSDAY, the 14th of May, at Twelve o'clock, a distinguished FREEHOLD PROPERTY, which partakes of the state of A VILLA RESIDENCE OF A SUPERIOR CHA RACTER, ON HIGHWOOD HILL has for many years been proverbial, no less for its external appearance, than the very great conveniences which will he found to preside throughout the interior of this favoured retreat; it is judiciously seated on a lofty and command ing spot, giving very great facility to views which can hardly he surpassed in any part of England. THE TERRACE WALK is of considerable extent, and adorned by a multitudinous collection of all that is rare and estimable in plants and flowering Shrubs. The Kitchen Gardens are extensive, and the fruit trees prolific, and of the best kind. THE PLEASURE GROUNDS AND SHRUBBERY WALKS EXTEND NEAR ONE MILE, and are well. sheltered from the north and easterly winds, and it would almost appear, from the extraordinary tact that is manifest every where, that the genius of Repton must have been enlisted into the service; it was from this interesting spot that TO CAPITALISTS. THE CROWLAND ESTATE, IN THE COUNI'Y OF LINCOLN, WITH MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS, ROYALTIES, AND PRIVILEGES, RENTS, FINES ON COPY HOLDS, (THE TOWN OF CROWLAND BEING SUBJECT TO THIS MANOR), THE RECTORY OF CROWLAND, AND FORTY-THREE FARMS IN A RING FENCE, CONTAINING SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES OF THE BEST LAND IN LINCOLNSHIRE, FREE FROM TITHES ; THE PRESENT MODERATE RENTAL AND VALUE EXCEED TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS PER ANNUM, INDEPENDENTLY OF THE MANOR HOUSE. NEARLY TWO HUNDRED THOU SAND POUNDS MAY, IF REQUIRED, REMAIN ON MORTGAGE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS begs very re spectfully to announce to the Public, but more especially the great Capitalist., that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on TnussoAY, the 11th of June, at Twelve o'clock, IN ONE LOT, a singularly Eligible and highly important FREEHOLD PROPERTY, THE CROWLAND ESTATE, very long distinguished for the superior character of the soil, and its extraordinary compactness. Lincolnshire has always been proverbial for the rare quality of the Land ; and this Estate has, from time immemorial, been ranked as foremost in public favour. It will far exceed the limit of an Advertisement to give, in detail, the immense advan tages connected with this invaluable property, but it is apprehended a brief outline will be quite ample, with a view to enlist the prompt and serious attention of the Monied Interest to an investment which, unquestionably, does not yield in its importance to any that has ever been submitted to public competition in England. The leading features may be summed up in the following concise corn.. mentary : THE ESTATE IS ALL FREEHOLD, AND INCLUDES FORTY-THREE FARMS, CONTAINING SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES OF RICH LAND, FREE FROM TITHES, _ _ and it is probable that for compactness and the quality of the soil it stands proudly alone, without fear of competi tion. The Farm Houses are generally of the best de scription. THE PRESENT RENTAL AND VALUE EXCEEDS TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR, _ _ and it is known that, during adverse times, when mode rate land was necessarily diminished in value, the supe riority of this soil was a sure guarantee of a comparatively small diminution in the rent roll. CROWLAND MANOR HOUSE is not of a pretending character, but may very easily be rendered the comfortable abode of a family. THE MANORIAL RIGHTS, ROYALTIES, AND PRIVILEGES ARE EXTENSIVE. THE TOWN OF CROWLAND IS ALL TRIBUTARY TO THIS MANOR. The FINES and QUIT RENTS are CONSIDERABLE. There is also pertaining to this property THE RECTORY OF CROWLAND. A valuable right of Fishing, and an abundance of Game. The tenantry are highly respectable, and the con tiguity of the property to Peterborough, Stamford, Gran tham, Spalding, and other capital markets, afford at all times a secure and ready vent for the abundant produce of THIS HIGHLY FAVOURED ESTATE. It is, therefore, submitted by Mr. Robins wit h great mill : dence to the attention of those who agree with WM in 'W- I:eying that I.and is the best 'and safest investm e nt for ea •tai•. • . a t a ll times, and 'now that the funded prop . erty ford such a moderate return, with the probability of an nnfavolirable reaction, it is placed beyond doubt tliai the opportunity this presented is by far the nr.ost en couraging that has ever been offered to public attention ; there is a regular Market at Crowland, and an Annual Fair, which contribute to increase the Rental. It will be almost superfluous to remark, that the possession of such an immense and valuable territory must be very in fluential with a view to, THE REP.RESPITATION OF THE COUNTY. - partienlars are preparing, - and' will 'be ready - . foe , distribution. six weeks' antecedent -to the Sale; with Lithographic Maps to each, at - the p,rim:ipal inns at Crowland, r Otamford, Grantbarrl, an t d m l v il la i n sb d' 'alsoeaePhet;aicb"g r in'E ll , ' dinhulith, Liverpool, Mancbeeteirs „d niariinghalTl; 4 aht! hatrof 'Banvis; i'Mr:Botinar, Solicitor, 4palding ; Messrs.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is gratified in being instructed to announce that he will SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart in London, on THURSDAY, the I I th of June, at Twelve o'clock, and in ONE LOT, A SINGULARLY FINE FREEHOLD INVEST MENT FOR CAPITAL, _ . combining such an Infinity of advantages as are rarely con gregated in one Property, and it therefore necessarily fol lows that the limit of an announcement must be confined to a brief summary of the leading features, which it is confi dently believed will be more than sufficient to awaken the early attention of large Capitalists to an Investment which, for its importance and local advantages, has seldom (if ever) been offered to public competition ; it comprehends THE DEBDEN HALL ESTATE, WITH A PARK AND DOMAIN OF 3,850 ACRES. The Residence puts' forth very strong claims to public attention, in as much as, without being of a very pretend ing character, it combines in its exterior a Chaste and Elegant Design, while its interior accommodation pre sents a plentiful supply of every thing that is essential to the comfortable abode of a Family of high standing and respectability. The Grounds that environ this delightful retreat ate formed in accordance with the best taste. The Plantation-walks and Shrubberies luxuriantly disposed, are adorned by an infinity of the most choice American Plants and Evergreens, while the Flowering Shrubs are dispersing their sweet perfume in every direction. The Kitchen Gardens, encompassed by lofty walls, are clothed with the choicest Trees, in an highly luxuriant state. THE FINELY TIMBERED PARK has drawn largely on the bounty of nature, in as much as the scene, however beautiful, must be somewhat imperfect without the ORNAMENTAL WATERS, which complete the coup (Paid of this delectable retreat. Connected with it are THE AiANOIIS, MANORIAL RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES, extending over a large tend fertile tract of highly cultivated Land. THE ESTATE INCLUDES EIGHTEEN MOST.

The distinguished Freehold Mansion and Estate, so long the admired Residence of Lord Northwick, on Harrow Hill, environed by its finely-timbered Park and extended Plea Sure Grounds, with ornamental <Water, and instant Possession, and Two modern Gothic Villas, and Grounds contiguous. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce, that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, on THURSDAY, the 14th of May, at Twelve, in Three Lots, at the Auction Mart, opposite:to the Bank of England, this singularly BEAUTIFUL FREEHOLD PROPERTY, which has long been the DigTINGUISHED FEATURE of this ADMIRED NEIGHBOURHOOD, and has been so invariably the subject of general commendation, that it would be as impossible, as it would be superfluous, in the confined limits of an advertisement, to attempt a panegyric. HARROW PARK was for many years the favoured Retreat of LORD NORTHWICK. The Mansion has been wisely placed on a fine commanding situation, giving great facility to the extraordinary, beau tiful, and interesting views which the terrace walk com mand ; the panorama presented is so rich and varied, that it is believed it will not yield to any in England. The Residence possesses, in an eminent degree, all the accom modation A FAMILY OF DISTINCTION CAN DESIRE, ant the domestic arrangement and Out-offices of every de scription are so complete as to leave nothing to be desired. THE PARK OF SEVENTY ACRES, most luxuriantly timbered, has uniformly been the subject of the highest admiration ; there is an irregularity and beautiful inequality in the grounds that necessarily add to the imposing effect, whil , s the majestic Timber, scattered about i❑ pleasing negligence, and the extended - ORNAMENTAL WATER, winding in serpentine form through the admirably dis posed grounds, contribute, in no small degree, to the coup trceil. Of the latter it will probably be quite sufficient to add, that the genius of Repton presided over the disposi- Lion of the pleasure grounds. THE HERMITAGE, CONSERVATORY, AND ICE-HOUSE are all judiciously placed, and the hot and succession houses, with the pinery, are all AS RECHERCHE as the most fastidious can desire. In fact, it will be diffi cult to suggest a luxury or a comfort that is not conspi cuous here. There are two modern Gothic Villas, just completed by Mr. Decimus Burton, with gardens and grounds to each, very contiguous to Harrow Park, and to be sold on the same day, in separate Lots. Particulars may be had twenty-one days prior, at the Park Lodge, Harrow ; ci* Messrs. M'Dougall, Son, and Bainbrigge, Solicitors, Parliament -street; at the Mart; and cards to view may be had at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden. PRICE 7D.

The valuable Exhibition of every description of Miscella neous Property for absolute Sale. MR. GEORGE ROBINS begs to intimate to the public, that in consequence of this Ancient and Respectable Repository being doomed (by means of the provisions of an Act of Parliament for Improving the Strand) to he immediately " rased to the ground," Mr. Clarke, the Proprietor of Exeter 'Change, has directed him TO SELL BY PUBLIC AUCTION, AND WITHOUT THE LEAST RESERVE, On WEDNESDAY, the 22d day of April next, and Nine following days, (Sundays excepted) at Twelve o'clock, the unusually Extensive and Valuable Stock which for so many years has been the subject of admiration and astonish ment to the multitudinous persons who have so frequently congregated at THE ANCIENT and RESPECTABLE ESTABLISH MENT of EXETER 'CHANGE. It has ben proverbial for a lengthened period, and was the pride of the late respected and present proprietor, that the variety in this exhibition (infinitely surpassing any other in this great metropolis) was so great, that it were hardly possible to inquire for any thing, either useful or ornamental, that could not be on the instant provided there. The wealth which was the necessary consequence of such an extensive trade is mainly to be attributed to the proprietor's adopting from the commencement the good (but old fashioned) notion of having every thing of the very best description. The following is necessarily a brief out line of the very great variety and excellence which will be found conspicuous in this collection. THE HARNESS AND SADDLERY DEPART THE CELEBRATED EPISCOPAL CHAPEL IN CHARLOTTE-STREET, PIMLICO, Wfitcli GIVES TITLE TO ORDERS. AND THE IN COME MAY BE MATERIALLY INCREASED. vi R. GEORGE ROBINS begs' respectfully to announce, that h e w ill SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in Londan, on THURSDAY, the 30th of April, at Twelve, and unreservedly, A very fine PROPERTY, either with a view to per manent investment, or the more decided advantage of possession.

Tt,e.re art', on the grotina tier ninety-three pews, and in the gallery seventy-eight, forming an aggregate of six hundred and eighty-five seats, THE INCOME FROM WHICH. • 11AS EXCEEDED 1,0001. A YEAR. ,• It is however fair to admit that the New Church has made a temporary impression, and consequently lessened the receipts, hut it is equally true that it needs only the aid of " A POPULAR PREACHER," to restore it to its wonted vigour, and consequent income. The 'highly gifted " Dr. DODD" demonstrated bow much might be accomplished by his peculiar talent and eloquence. Sub sequently, very many have given equally strong testimony of its capability. It should be observed it ifs. AN EPISCOPAL CHAPEL, and gives a title to orders ; independently of which, it pos. sews the rare advantages pertaining to Church prefer. ment, it having the whole of the patronage at its own disposal. The average income of the last five years (about 850/. a yea) is not a fair criterion to judee of its val*de, as it will not be doubted that an intelligent and talented preacher, by discontinuing the afternoon service and sub stituting evening, would add considerahy t(.l the annual revenue. The whole is Etted up in the very best manner, regard less of expence, with a splendid organ ; the pulpit Find desk ornamented with velvet and gold; atul. a fin* altar piece over the communion-table. . . The Chapel may be viewed till the Sale, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, from eleven till one, by applying to the. Clerk (Mr. King), adjoining the same; and particulars had 14 days prior to the sale ma him, at the Auction Mart, and in Covent-garden.

In conclusion, the Noble Duke observed, that though deeply sensible of the import ance of the principle of the measure, yet, if it did not come from the Committee with full securities, he could not give it his further support. The Earl of CLANCARTY said, there were one or two points to which, as they had not been adverted to by other Noble Lords, he would -briefly call the attention of their Lordships—he meant the time and the occasion of the introduction of this measure. He could assure their Lordships that be was not at anytime an exclusionist ; on the contrary, he was always desirous, whenever the pro per time should arrive, to take into consideration the dis abilities affecting the Roman Catholics, with a view to their removal as far as might be consistent with the secu rity of our Protestant Constitution in Church and State. But so very differently did different men view the same things, that he owned that tlse very 'circumstance. which induced some Noble Lords to support the present measure, were those which'urged hiM to oppose it. He alluded to the recent conduct of the Catholics in general through the country. He said of all, becaute' . most of them had ac ceded to the conduct of the Catholic 'Association, all of them bad acquiesced in it, and by none of them was it disavowed.—(Hear, hear. )—That conduct, he owned, bad greatly weakened his desire to extend to the Catholics' any greater share of political power than they already possessed. Since his entrance into public life, he bad adhered: to the principles of a great statesman, who had•laid it doWn as a rule that•the admission of Roman Catholics to political power should, in the first place, be dependent on the good behaviour of that body, so as to make it safe to admit them ; and next, upon what he was sure would be con sequent upon that behaviour—upon the anxious desire of the great majority of the people that such admission to power should be granted. Nuw at the present day the very reverse of this took place. They had first the con duct of 'the Catholic Association—that misbegotten mon ster, whose acts had never been disavowed by any of the same community—a body which he would say had not only not been opposed by his Majesty's servants in Ireland, but (and he said it without intending to snake a charge on any individual) which had latterly been encouraged in that country. This led him to advert to what had fallen from a Noble Marquis on a former evening—he was so confused about days, that he could not say on which day of the discussion it was, but—he meant the Noble Marquis (An glesea) who had lately presided ever hie Majesty's Govern ment in Ireland. That Noble Marquis had said, that he would plead not guilty to the charge of having given en couragement to the Catholic Association. Now it ap peared to him (Lord Clancarty), that the opinions of many in the country as to that point would rest on the answers which the Noble Marquis might give to a few questions which he, without meaning any disrespect, would beg to put to him. He would therefore ask the Noble Marquis, whether he had not exercised the highest prerogative of the Crown, in liberating from a large portion of a punish ment which had been justly inflicted upon him an officer of that Association ? He would ask whether that libera tion was founded on the report of the Judge who had pre sided at the trial,—whether their report was favourable to the convicted party or unfavour.7.lde,—whether the report of physicians had not been resorted to, the report of the Judge net being considered sufficiently favourable? He would also ask whether, before the liberation of that per son, any apology had been required from him, to the two highly respectable Magistrates whom he had grossly in suited, and who had prosecuted him at a very consider able expense ; and, above all, he would ask the Noble Alarquis whether any security had been required for the future good behaviour of the person so liberated? He did not mean - to say, that the Noble Marquis could not give a satisfactory answer to each and all of these questions, but he (Lord Clancarty) must say, that unless such answers were given, he did not think that the Noble Lorl could be acquitted of hav ing encouraged the Catholic Association in Ireland. It should be recollected that this person was the envoy from the Association to this country—that he was the organ through whom they made their communications here, and that he was in all respects identified with" the proceedings of that body. The Noble Marquis had said that the Go vernraent of Ireland possessed a responsibility as the ser vants of the Crown, and that they had acted upon that responsibility. That was true; but it did not alter the merits of the case to which he adverted. 'He would ask, what had been the consequence of the apathy of 'Govern ment in Ireland during the last five years which he (Lord Clancarty) had resided in that country ? Was it not that his Majesty's authority was in a state of abeyance there?— that the monster of the Association had grown up to such a s i ze as even to astound those by whorls it was reared ? And yet now their Lordships were holding out, as it were, a proclamation for ever of the highest rewards for such seditious conduct.—(Hear )—He would not ,trespass longer on the attention of their Lordships, but merely to add, that the provisions of this Bill left all the mischiefs which before existed just as it found them.—(Hear, hear.) —They did not at all grapple with the real danger, or suf ficiently support the principle, that the power of the King, Lords. and Commons, should be supreme in the country. The Noble Duke (Wellington) had told their Lordship. that the effect of this Bill would be to promote the peace and prosperity of the country. He sincerely hoped that the antivipations of the Noble Duke might be realized in that respect; and he could assure him, that, thßt however strongly he objected to it, on the grounds he "had stated, he would, now that he saw the Bill must pass, be as earnest in hoping that the expected good might result Croat it, as its most warm supporters could be.—(Hear, hear.)—He, and he had no doubt every zealous Protestant and loyal subject, would, when the Bill became part of the law of the land, exert themselves to snake it as productive of the desired effect as was possible.—(Hear, bear.) The Marquis of ANGLESEA said, he was little prac tised in the ways of Parliament, for he owned he had not paid that attention to them which from his rank and sta tion he ought to do ; but inexperienced as he might be as to the usage of Parliament, it did appear to him, that if he felt it his duty to bring a charge against any Noble Lord, it would not be by putting to him a string of ques tions at a moment when it might not be convenient to him to answer thent—(cheere)—and the less so when they had been put (as was the case in this instance) without the courtesy of any previous intienation.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear.")—He would be disposed to give to any Noble Lord whom he might deem it proper to accuse full notice of his intention, and of the nature of the charge, that he might be prepared to meet it.—(Hear hear.) — Their, Lordships were at that moment abouCto go into Committee upon a most important measure, and certainly it was not a time to put him (Lord Anglesea) upon his trial—(Hear, hear)—but he could assure the Noble Earl that if after the present measure should have been disposed of—for not a syllable would he now utter in the way of answer to questions so put—(Cheers)—but whenever the Noble Lord might hereafter please to enter upon the ques tion of the liberation of Mr. Eneas Macdonnel, or any other measure of his Government in Ireland, he would not only he ready to enter into the discussion and defence of those measures, but would be exceedingly thankful to the Noble Earl for affording him the opportunity,—(Cheers,) The Duke of WELLIIsIGTON—AIthough his Noble Friend (the Marquis of Anglesea) did not feel it his duty to give any explanation of the circumstance to which the Noble Earl had referred But first he would beg to re mind the Noble Lord (Clancarty), and the House, of the report; which he had before urged for submitting the mea sure before them--reasons, founded upon the state of Ire land, and paramount to any consideration of the Catholic Association. These reasons were referable to the safety and honour of the State ; the first of which might be sa crificed if the Government took no step, and the second compromised if coercive measures were not adopted for putting down a body which had become dangerous. Ilis Friend (Lord Clancarty) had lef# out of his consi deration that a most important Bill had been passed for elapsed after down i aftei the tha Catholic t body yhad A s 7 lb oc n i l a it t t, i7, to an ti t l l e a a t u n t o h n o t r l had authority yof Parliament before he (the Duke of Wellington) had intro duced the measure now before their Lordships, and which he felt it was his duty to snbritit as soon as possible after the first measure had been carried. But his Noble Friend bad Complained of the liberation of a person who had been Convicted of libel before the expiration of his sentenee. He would tell his Noble Friend that that step was founded upon ylie report mule to Government of the state of that individual's health, and that his life must be aterificed if his confinement were prolonged. The Noble Lord then at the head of the Government of Ireland had stated the circumstance, and his Majesty's servants would not have dune their duty, if they had not advised the course which was a dopted.—(Hear.)--But the fact had no reference whatever to politics, for it would have been done had the State of things In Irelaud been twenty timee went than they were at the ar, liecr.)—He beriOed his Noble Friend (Lord Clancarty) was personally interested in the circumstance to which he referred---(hear)--but that could have bad np weight, with the Noble Mavis at the head of the Government, who was acting in the perform ance of a duty for which he was responsible ; and most certainly the Noble Narcinis would have been answerable for the consequence~ if he-bad. no l t advised the come! which was adoPted hear.) —} 10. ing felt it necessary to 'state this, he could not help dept"` cating the introduction of questiotirof this= kind;' , -ti 016 delay of the important measure •before the Honseij'erit h which such questions had no connexion. ,whatever..--• (Hear, hear.)—Before he sat down he' won't!' surilfe r i as to what had fallen from his Noble Friend , (the Duke Rutland), for whom he had the highest respect. Noble Friend had suggested that Roman Catholicnt - abeu l ," be restricted from eligibility to the office of Prime Min': ster. He could assure his Noble Friend, that -he would be disposed to do any thing to gratify him not inCOnsiSten t with the principles and provisions of the Bill ; but he ano t be aware that there was no such office as that - of Prime Minister known to the Constitution. The person gene rally at the head of the Administration was the first,Lord of the Treasury, and for many reasons; which it ,was not necessary for him then to explain, he thought• that,a con venient arrangement, as the first Lord of the Treasury 109 more immediately connected with the finances of the corm try ; but the chief Minister, or head of the Administratio n t was not necessarily the fist Lord of the,Treasury. It W' s sometimes the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, of the Lord Privy Seal ;or it might be any other member-of the Administration. So that the Prime Minister could Doti)," well defined in the Act by mentioning any one of, those effices. But he thought the objection of his Noble Friend Was not well founded. The Bill before the Konen had made ample provision in case the head of the Administra' tiou should be a Roman Catholic, by taking from him a ll control over Church patronage, and confiding itr to hard., which roust be above all snspicion . as.to its being exereisce injuriously to the Church. It was not necessary for 'hi° to say more on the subject now, as the point would under discusion in the Committee. - _ _ Lord COLVILLE said, as he might not have again an opportunity of expressing his opinions before their •Lors!' ships, he was anxious not to give a silent vote on this meat important subject. The Noble Lord, after expressing O a regret at being obliged to oppose, in opposing this owe; sure, those with whom he had been accustomed to act, and under whose auspices he had entered public life, proci iad , v : to entreat their Lordships t o p ause before they pum a measure of a tendency so dangerous to the state. He woo' not oppose it, if he found in the Bill any equivalent for the sacrifices made, or if he saw that it would tend to the i lO provement or pacification of Ireland ; but he feared that would not be the case. He feared, that behind this would be found more Catholic questions,—(hear, hear,)-esand more agitators ; and he was the less disposed to concur in it because he saw that it was granting to agitation wha t they had so long denied to reasoning. But though he conscientiously opposed the Bill, he did hope that the eV pectatione of those who supported it might be realised. The Earl of LONGFORD said, that though he had be ' fore given his opinion on the Bill, he could not-allow .it W pass its present stage with a silent voce. The Noble Ear l then proceeded to complain of the country having been taken by surprise by the Bill, though he did not wean W impute any intention of surprise to his Noble Relation at, the head of the Government, or to any other Member o f it; but the fact was, 9 out of 10 in the House, and 99 , out of 100 out of the House, were taken by surprist" , f t the Bill. He also complained of the haste with which was urged through the House--a haete=which did not br . come the dignity of their Lordships' proceedings, or t°l great importance of the subject itself. It had been l a ' that this measure had been fr e qu en tly ag it a e e d i n focal" , Parliaments. He denied the fact; no similar Inea s "f e had been introduced to the Legisl a tur e —at least not d the manner and under the circumataucea of the preael s. The Noble Lord then proceeded to say, that so long sot general principles of human nature existed, so long'itr ° ' the Catholics look with a wistful eye en the• Church Po' perty of which they believed themselves to have been ant justly deprived by the Protest tuts:He then maintained the the question was of a theological as well as of a pnli tc ," nature. It could not be denied, that the Catholie Chu r ch was i was a political body any move than that the Cho"' . g e England was a political body. The latter, however , w" , under the controul of, and therefore ended to the stIPP r. of, the State; but the admission of another oreanisod litiral body into the State, without being under its O i/ ur , troul, could not fail to be productive of uaischief. • could not look without apprehension at the extraordinart influence which the Roman Catholic Clergy exert over the minds of the Laity of every class.' Upon a recto' occasion, . when members of the Catholic A se p e iation ave ri a talking of a separation between Ireland classesod using other violent language, the higher of Catb ° ' lies .did not express their disapprobation of that•condeet, except, indeed, by silent reproof. What was the influent which had operated to prevent them from visiting su ag conduct with more , direct.and decided reprobation ? it could not answer what it was; but he could stateseb7 ; p i was not. It was not an influence to which the 'men ds . 4 any persons intrusted with political power in•thlrooe n "' should be subjected.—(Hear.) sin& The Bishop of LANDAFF declared, that it Wasp to him to differ in opinion from any 'of his own order ; was also painful to him as a Bishop of the Church to i !r o , pear to be opposed to the sentiments of a verylarge Pe tj :a of the community of a country which was sincerely attect, at to the Protestant religion. If, too, he could beliov e 4 the opinion of this large portion of the people was 0° ":, o f his pain would be greatly increased ; but his feeL,";b a s sorrow were considerably mitigated, when he rellec w- of the petitioners to Parliament and public writers out to doors ware labouring under strong delusion with reer o l i 5 , the character of the measure before their LordshiP4 - ' ' t d ; of a notorious fact, that thousands and tens of the's ° f a lse persons had signed their names to petitions und er 11 .. 4 . . 0 11 impression as to the nature of the measure.

Of all th e o b servat i ons w hi c h h e h a d h ear d, nth respect to the measure before the House, those which fsg,:frern the Primate of Ireland made the greatest im 4L_Prieeisn upon hi s m i n d.

He might apply the union of the Churches the words of a familiar r l)eal. We had taken her "to have and to hold from t4l, day furivard, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, 'A sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do us part."—(Hear, hear.) The Bishop of LINCOLN and the Bishop of BRISTOL ad dresseil the House, but in so low a tone as to be quite in audible. acknowledge the King's Supremacy. That principle had been acknowledged since the days of our Saxon ancestors in Edward the Conferee), 's Lei o, red he svaidd never consent to see it abandoned. lle could fait do it —l,e would not do it. Those who thought differently might act as honestly as he was endeavouring to dO ; but he could net folloic their course. It was in vain that Olen praised the exec lence of the Established Church and the purity of its doctrines, and to argue that that excellence and purity would alone main tain it as it now stood. If the members of the Protestant Church admit that they do not acknowledge the supra• ruicy of the Crown, it is not the manifestation of that purity, nor that consistency of conduct, which they always preserved.—(Laughter.)—That would insure them the respect of the subjects—he would say the injured sub • jects of this country..—(Cheers.)—lf they denied to him that the voice of the country was raised against this mea sure more titan it had ever been before on any other oc casion, yet he should feel that all their purity and excel lence would not avert the effects that might be expected from difference of religious opinion, nor take away from their adversaries the appetite for tithes and glebe lands, because they are the means of supporting an Established Church.—(Hear, hear.)--He asked their Lordships whether they slid not expect that from this tinse there would cease in the minds of the great mass of the people all that veneration for the Established Church which they had formerly possessed—(hear, hear)—when they found that the clergy treated this purely as a political subject, as others did also as a purely religious subject? He main tained that it ought to be regarded as both. In a politi cal view of it, be had hitherto supported the laws for the exclusion of the Roman Catholics, because he considered them essential to the existence of civil and religious liberty; and not merely were they so declared in all the Acts of Parliament to be a perpetual security for the civil and reli gious liberties of his fellow-subjects, but also, he believed they had had the effect hitherto of producing in the minds of Englishmen those moral and religious feelings which had distinguished them above all the nations on the earth, and made them the patterns of moral and religious conduct to the whole Protestant world. This objection did not goso far as to exclude the Roman Catholics from all offices ; for he did not object to place them in such political offices as would introduce them to seats in Parliament, and entitle them to be entrusted with the discharge of the duties of the• highest offices in the executive departments of the State. He confined himself to that extent; but this clause threw open every office to the Roman Catholics with a few exceptions. It was said that it was quite impossible to describe the offices that might entitle persons to become Cabinet Ministers, and therefore that all precautions of that character were useless, He knew that Cabinets might be composed of individuals, part of whom were united in one opinion, and disagreed with the rest who were united in another opinion. He knew that very well Thy expe rience, and he had seen how most wonderfully some Mini sters were converted to opinions directly opposite to those they formerly held.—(Laughter.)—Yet still he thought that he could apply an exception even to such persons as these.—(Hear, hear.)—He desired to know whether, if these two little words—" Privy Councillors," were made part of the exceptions, they would not be effectual? He felt that he should be acting improperly if he went through all the clauses which he could better consider, and would amply discuss, on the third reading, when he should be ready to offer some arguments to their Lordships to which he should beg their particular attention. He knew the zeal and ability of the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, and lie had no objection to confess, that some thing, not very comfortable to him—he meant a teasing gout, would induce him to escape from the fatigue of entering more fully into the question at that time ; but if, on the third reading, he should be able to attend, lie would go much more largely than he ought to da when merely discussing the clauses, inasmuch as the observa tions would apply to other clauses not before their Lord ships. On the third reading, he could state his objections at once to the principle and to all the parts of the Bill. There was one point to which, before he concluded, he desired to call the cousideration of the Noble and Learned Lord on the woolsack, and of all the rest of their Lordships, including the Noble and Learned Lord (Plun kett), on the Treasury Benches, and other Noble Lords, his Noble Friends, as well as those Noble Lords who were opposed to him. It related to James 11. One of the cir cumstances which, in the judgment of the people of this country, had rendered him so odious that he was obliged to leave it, was the liberty he took with the charters. He (Lord Eldon) wished to know whether it was the inten tion of this Bill that all the charters of corporate bodies, which the corporators were required, and had for years and years been required, when admitted to corporate of fices, to take the oaths and declarations, to be repealed by this Biil? He meant to ask, did their Lordships intend to tear off the seals from these charters, and allow the constitution of such corporations to be violated? In future clauses of the Bill there were many exceptions for some corporate bodies, but there were many who would be placed, by the Bill, in the strange situation he had de scribed. Lord KENYON f e lt so s t rong ly on th e su bj ec t o f th e "Mau Catholic question, that he begged to be allowed !: 4 ,deliver his sentiments on this occasion. He thought Lest the measure now proposed might, on the grounds Which the Noble Duke had stated, just as well have been ictrodueed2s years ago, and in many respects with much Sreater advatutage.—(Hear, hear.)—He did not think that it nweasute would produce tranquillity in Ireland, and he Was sure it wou ld create d i saffection in this country. Th e Noble Duke had said that it was impossible to put down r p e Catholic Association unless by this measure. He (Lord yon) thought the Government and preceding Govern -2el.lts were to blame for not exerting their strength to put Association down, and they had no right now to make tb eir own error an excuse fur committing a breach upon the Conat itution.—(llear, hear.)—What advantage would :f‘e.6,000,000 of the Roman Catholics derive from Catho lic Emiuicipation ') Their Lordships knew that the Catho lic* had other object's than emancipation in view, and they Tg_ W 9uld ,be s a ti s fi ed unt il t h ey ga i ne d th e i r en d s . hose wh o . had assert e d th a t the King's coronation oath would be touched by the present measure had been called .th,t4ou to prov e th e i r assertion. H e was one o f t h ose w h o ought that an oath was an obligation so solemn that it trld not be relaxed from considerations of mere expe- IneY ; 'and if his Majesty should give his consent to a Leasure by which a power would be introduced into Par "anent, the natural disposition of which would be to dis 441ible his Majesty from fulfilling the terms of his corona li2ll oath, he should like to know how his Majesty could 1111 c that assent without infringing his oath ? A distinc • *'en had been made between the legislative and executive Pacify of the King, but he conceived that his Majesty in v eth those capacities was bound to preserve the Protestant es tablishments of this country inviolate.—(Hear.) The question that the House resolve itself into a Com ttecs was then put and carried without a dissentient YOjec Lord REDESDALE stated, that if any thing could re - "Atilt his mind to the present measure, it would be the co nsideration that the Government would acquire some e° , 4 troul over the Rom a n C a tholic church, by means of the introdu ct i on o f persons pro f ess i ng t h e R oman Catholic ' 4 4 into, Parliament. Those individuals would be, in I ° l4 o degree, under the influence of Government, which Wou ld by those means have some controul over the Roman Catholic church. There was one amendment he should like to see introduced into the Bill. By the Bill as it now stood, all the Privy Councillors of the King might be Catho lic, with the exception of the Noble and Learned Lord on the woolsack. What he wished was, to have t he tlception extended. The consideration of the preamble of the Bill was post- . Lord FARNHAM was of opinion that it involved the general principle of the Bill. He could not enter at length 'ot° the qnestion of the Oaths adopted at the time of the Revolution of 1688 ; but this he knew, that all the ef . f 9 l lll of the Revolution were to establish a Protestant Go ' t ersnaent, and to exclude Papists from offices, and from the Legislature. The question was, did or did not the Present measure interfere with the protection thus afforded le the Protestant Church at the period of the Revolution. : .11 1 his opinion it invalidated that protection, and threat ''oiled the. Establishment with peat danger. The tran .Wility of Ireland, he was confident, would not be pro ' 4loted by this Bill, because it was accompanied by another measure offensive to the party whose agitation had caused '''the King's Ministers, and the two Houses of Parliament, - 19 yield .the Relief Bill. He was opposed to the principle '(this Bill ; but he thought his Majesty's Government done right by not delaying it ; and in going to the full lztent of concession he thought also they were right ; I kt as he considered it wrong in principle he therefore Would oppose it to the utmost. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, the Noble . 14011 bad misrepresented him ; but he had said that he hoped that hereafter there would be an arrangement, such .5 would connect the Catholic Clergy with the Govern ment,. aemew hat as the Presbyterian Clergy were pro . !tided for by the Regium Donum. It was desirable for 5 tranquillity of Ireland that some measure of this kind be adopted, and he trusted his Majesty would be advised to put the.Catholie Clergy on the same footing as the Presbyterians. • The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL stated that the Presby terians had entered into an agreement with the Govern . Meat to surrender their right to the tithes for a certain sum, for ten years • after that period had elapsed, and tatt *rlY, in lieu of die legal claim, the Regium Donum The Bishop of LANDAFF remarked, that as to the Oath of Supremacy, if he departed from it by allowing Roman Catholics to seat themselves in Parliament the whole amount of the argument was this—that he, in taking that oath, denied the spiritual supremacy of any foreign Power; nor did he admit it by allowing another fellow-subject, who would not deny the Pope's spiritual authority, to sit with him in Parliament. To maintain that in so doing he departed from his oath, was the most extraordinary doctrine he had ever heard urged in his life. —(Cheers.) The Earl of ELDON said, all the Members of that House, the Right Rev. Prelates amongst them, had taken the same oaths; they had all sworn that "no Foreign Prince, Potentate, or Prolate, had any jurisdiction, pre eminence, or authority within this realm, civil, temporal, ecclesiastical, or spiritual ;" and they had gone further, and sworn that no Foreign Prince or Prelate ought to have any authority or jurisdiction, temporal or spiritual, within this realm. How could he keep this oath, which he had repeated forty times in his life, if be agreed to admit Ro man Catholics to political power, who acknowledged the spiritual authority of the Pope? The Bishop of LANDAFF said, that one word the Noble and Learned Lord had himself urged was an answer to his own objection. The Noble and Learned Lord saw no objection to the admission of the Roman Catholics to certain offices, without marking the exact line which he would draw. How could the Noble and Learned Lord, with the regard he professed for the oaths he had taken, give up the principle so easily, and make it a question of degree merely.—•(Cheers) ?—lf we could admit them to a certain extent with safety, it was only then a ques tion of degree to decide how far they should come.— (Cheers. ) The Bishop of OXFORD.—The Noble and Learned Lord has represented me by words, literally, precisely, awl fairly construed, to have described the professors of the Roman Catholic religion as idolatrous. I do not admit that they are idolatore, when I admit that there are some practices in the ceremonies of their religion which are idola trous.—( Hear. )—I agree that every idolator must be guilty of idolatry before his God. Ido not believe the Roman Ca tholics are so ; and I will not asperse those from whom I differ. The Noble and Learned Lord has stated, and repeated several times, that I imputed idolatry to the Catholic re ligion, and he has stated this in a manner that I believe neither the rules of this House, nor the common courtesy of life, allow me to characterise as it deserves. I say again, that the invocation of saints is idolatrous—that the sacrifice of the mass is idolatrous—but I do not say that the whole of the Roman Catholic religion is idolatry. I am nut so young as to take my Protestantism from the Noble and Learned Lord ; and I am not now to learn what are the differences between the Roman Catholic and the Protestant Churches. I have now done with the Noble and Learned Lord's remarks on the churches and on the idolatry ; and I pass to what he says concerning the oath. If I understood the Noble and Learned Lord right, he stated that the oath of supremacy denies also all regal and ecclesiastical jurisdiction, and all political power, to any power is these realms, than that of the sovereign, and that we cannot allow the Catholics to have offices without a ♦iolation of our oath. Has the Noble and Learned Lord then forgotten the Irish Act of 1777, the English Act of 1778, the English Act of 1791, awl the Scotch Act of 1793, by which Papists are required by law to deny, as a necessary condition of holding office, that the Pope has any temporal power in these realms, while the English Protestants, on taking office, are called on to deny the ecclesiastical authority of the Pope ? By , these different .Acts, tile Papists are to take one oath, and the Protes tants another. If I beard the Noble and Learned Lord right, he asserted that we were now, for the first time, about tcesadmit the Catholics to hold office. This is to me quite unintelligible unless there be some Parliamentary meaning attached to an oath that I never heard out of Parliament. If that be not the case the conclusion of the Noble and Learned Lord is to me quite unintelligible.— When I filled that chair of Regius Professor, to which he has alluded, had any of my pupils drawn such a conclusion I should have thought that they had rejected logic from their studiee.---( Hear and a leugh ; Order ! Question !) Wee uabstituted. The Catholic Clergy had no right or title equal to this. Besides, the Roman Catholics, in his Opinion, taught false doctrines, while there was very little difference between the doctrines taught by the Presbyte rians and the Church of England. The Earl of ELDON said, that unless he too had silenced his opinion, it was impossible for him to address the House to any effect, as he could only repeat his objec tion* to this Roman Catholic Relief Bill. No man could bake.the oaths their Lordships had taken, and account for it satisfactorily to his own mind, if he voted for this Bill, aesording.to his (Lord Eldon's) view of the oaths. He begged flair Lordships to recollect that the Great Lord Chatham had expressly stated that " Parliament had as •• good a right to repeal the Bill of Rights as the statute re quiring the Oath of Supremacy." But by this Bill the . Protestant was still required to take it, while the Roman 'Catholic was relieved from those declarations against tran ,, e ubsta.ntiation, and the sacrament of mass, and other parts Of the Roman Catholic religion, which bad hitherto been called idolatrous. It was surprising to him, that ever titleo the statute of Charles the Second was passed, it had 11 ' 4 littered into the consideration of any man whether it 'W 5 Within the power of Parliament to alter this oath.— • liut he found he should get into a discussion on the prin .eiple of the Bill if he went any further into that topic ; but he must say, that when he recollected that every of the Church of England, front the moment of the Passin g of that Act to the day on which he spoke, or at least to three or four days ago—(a laugh)—had solemnly declared that certain ceremonies of the Roman Catholics Were, as they were stated to be in the declaration, ~ i clolatrous, he thought that the Roman Catholic religion itself was neither more nor less than idolatry. ---(Cheers and laughter.)—But there was a Right Rev. Prelate who held, the other evening, that the professors of j j that religion were not at all idolatrous, though every Bishop of the Church of England had declared, in this Rouse, since the time of Charles 11., that religion to be .- .idolatrous. Some of their Lordships were not aware of „;•' this consideration, when they talked without reference to c4 .tbe principle of this Bill, and said that only five or six Oman Catholic Peers would be admitted by its coming jilt° operation. They only looked at the circumstance of there being a few or large number of Roman Catholic Members admitted into that House or the House of Corn teens.. It had also been said that the Oath of Supremacy • leas a false declaration, if it imputed idolatry to the Ro uian Catholic religion. After all they seemed to see people aserely as Protestant persons and Roman Catholic persons, Said the Members of the Legislature merely as Protestant llembers of the Houses of Lords or Commons. But he Could not tell what the feelings of that man must be who %hid hare gone into that House and see his Majesty on the Throne, and the Lord Chancellor on Ids knees, calling on lig Majesty, as he wits bound to do, if he had not ahead) , done t,o at the Coronation, to make.and subscribe that De • ?!!tration, by which the whole of the doctrines of the Ho . %an . Catholip religion are declare .1 to be idobtrous, while the Roman Catholic Pee'rs and Afembc , rs of the House of Ammons were assembled with the others to hear their reli, Rion declared idolatrous; and so it would remain after this Act was passed, if it continued in its present form. The Right ". Prelate also said, and said very truly, in the notion of a r iotestant Bishop, that we were all Members of the Chris !aili Church. If the Right Rev. Prelate would allow him, 4 e would ask, respectfully, as he wished to do, from his l'egatd to the Right tev. Prelate's character, whether the d eclaration that the Protestant Church of England was a branch of the Christian Church, and the members of it '4;ll:Yrs of the Christian Church, had ever been made by tLe Roman Citholic Church? If that was inserted into , th e, oath to be taken under this till by the Ronan Catho, . "cos there would be something admitted by them.

Prelate said that the Roman Catholic Church was not a Christian Church.—(Hear, hear, and No, no, Order, order. )—I understood the Right Rev. Pre late to say it was idolatrous. Perhaps I may have contra dieted the Right Rev. Prelate mor, openly than I ought, ' in the heat of argument, and I apologise. I can only say, of the allusion which h s been made to the Regius Pro fessor of Oxford, I had never any intention of casting any imputation on the Right Rev. Prelate.-:-(Question.) . 1 The LORD CHANCELLOR—The Noble and Learned- Lord has again brought the principle of the Bill under dis cussion. I am desirous to confine "myself to the clause before your Lordships. Your Lordships have now been occupied with the discussion of the principle of the mea sure for four nights; and I feel that I shall best discharge my duty by directing my attention to the clause now before us. As to the observations of the Noble and Learned Lord, that the Church of Rome does not consider the Esta• blished Church of this country to be a Christian Church— (" No, no !")—that the Roman Catholic Church of Ire land does not consider the Protestant Established Church of this country as a Christian Church—they astonish me much. Knowing the exceedingly great industry of the Noble and Learned Lord, I know he cannot have over looked the evidence which has been given before the Com mittee of your Lordships, while examining several mem bers of the Catholic Church. Recollecting myself that there were some observations on that subject, I have sent for the Report of the Committee, and this is what Dr. Doyle says :—He was asked the opinion of the Established Church, and he replied—" I look on the Established Church in Ireland in two lights—as a Christian commu nity, and as a corporation, enjoying vast temporal pos sessions. As a Christian Church, consisting of a hier archy, and professing the doctrines of the Gospel, I respect it "and esteem it more than any other church of the Universe separated from the See of Rome."—(Lend and continued cheers.)—l am astonished that the Noble Lord can come down to the House, and, relying on its re spect for hie great talents and his industry, can so hastily and unadvisedly make such bold, such incorrect, and such unwise assertions.—(Loud cheers.) I shall now say a few words as to what the Noble Lord has said of the Oath of Supremacy. The Noble and Learned Lord says "he has taken that Oath forty times, and has sworn that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state, or potentate, bath, or ought to have, any jurisdiction, power, or superiority, in these realms ;" and how, he asks, can I take that oath, if I do admit that there is in the country a body of persons who acknowledge a foreign supremacy? It is not for me to to reconcile this—it is for the Noble Lord. The law stand so. The Roman Catholics do acknowledge, in mat ters of faith and conscience, to the spiritual power and jurisdiction of a foreign Power, and the Noble Lord, there fore, takes an oath to what is not the fact.—(Cheers. ) How does the present Bill alter the state of things ? In 1791 the Noble Lord now sitting at the Table (Lord Re desilale) brought in a Bill which the Noble and Learned Lord approved of, and that Bill prescribes the oath to be taken in the very sense form as the present Bill. The Noble and Learned Lord will recollect that no Catholic can now exercise any right of any description—he cannot hold any office—and subjects himself to the penal laws if he exercise any office without taking the oath ; and yet the Noble and Learned Lord can gravely state that the Act, passed so long ago as 1791, has entirely fallen out of bis recollection. What does the present Bill do more than give effect and ex tension to the principles on which the Catholics have be fore been admitted into office? We only extend privileges, the principle of granting which the Noble and Learned Lord has acted on. This is the plain statement of the else, and what the Noble and Learned Lord quoted from Hales, written with a very different view, has no relation to the subject, and the opinion of the Noble and Learned Lord is totally unfounded. If the remark had not been made by the Noble and Learned Lord, I should say that it was the assertion of a most extravagant, absurd, and un reasonable man.—(Cheers.) —lt would be a waste of your Lordships' time now to discuss the principles when it has already been settled. The first clause is the repeal of a declaration against transubstantiation ; and as your Lord ships have agreed to that, with some exceptions, you can discuss these exceptions when you come to the clauses which specify them. If the Noble and Learned Lord should hereafter discuss these exceptions, and should enter again into the question of the Oath of Supremacy, I shall extremely ready to meet him.—(Loud cheers. ) The Earl of MOIJNTCASHEL rose amidst cries of " Question," and said a few words to show that the Ro man Catholics were taught to hate the Protestants, and that the Priests in Italy ret , ,arded the Protestant Church as not a Christian Church. The Bull condemning all Protestants was still read every year in the Church of St. Mary Mazgiore, at Rome.—(Question, question.) Lord TENTERDEN—It is now forty years since I was a tyro, and I, perhaps, may have forgotten my grammar as well as my learning; but if I have not, I would ask what is a superstitious act but superstition ; and what is an idolatrous act but idolatry? The Bishop of DURHAM spoke at some length, but was quite inaudible below the Bar. We understood the Right Reverend Prelate's argument to relate altogether to the theological part of the question; and that he de scribed the Church of Rome as idolatrous, yet a Christian Church. The Earl of ELDON said, that with respect to the marriage instance mentioned by the Noble and Learned Lord (Plunkett), the Roman Catholic priests, considering it to be a sin, declared it to be such accordingly ; and the consequence was, that the parties were put under such a spiritual censure, that they could not very well continue to live together; but by the Ecclesiastical Courts of this country, of which the King was the supreme head, the same parties might be compelled legally to cohabit together ; so that they would, under these circumstances, be placed in the predicament of either violatin ,, their religious duties, or of acting in disobedience to the decree of one of the established tribunals of the country. Lord PLUNKETT begged to explain that the pi jest, in such a case, acted only by censure, and not by any co-active jurisdiction : if the parties from conscientious feelings chose to discontinue living together, they certainly might do so, but in that case they would be acting from an option of their own, and not from any direction of the priest. The Earl of 1110UNTCASHEL and Lord TIEDES DALE addressed a few words to the Committee ; but the 1 cries of " Question !" were so loud as to render the obser vations of their Lordships inaudible. Lord TENTERDEN rose for the purpose of proposing an Amendment en the first Clause, and he believed that that was the right time to do so. He did not propose this Amendment fur the purpose of introducing any alteration, but rather for the purpose of carrying the in• tentions of the Bill, if he understood them rightly, more fully into effect. If he understood the Bill aright, it was not its object to have any retrospective view what ever, or to legalise anything which had not been legal before its existence. The first Clause absolutely repealed those Declarations which had been imposed in the time of Charles the Second ; and he wished to call the attention of the Committee to what the effect of that would be. Let it be supposed that any Roman Catholic had been elected a Member of the House of Commons, or to any office within the contemplation of the Bill, previous to that Bill passing into a law ; in that case be would only have to wait ten days after the Royal Assent had been given, and there would then be no occasion for him to make either of the declarations as the law now stood, but merely to take the Oath of Allegiance. He knew that there were some Catholics who thought that they could conscientiously take those oaths, and therefore the effect of the Bill, as it now stood, would be to act retrospectively. With a view to prevent this, his intention was to propose that there should be added the words " Excepting also the case of any per son, who before the commencement of the Act may have been returned to the House of Commons, or to serve any Corporate office." The LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the amend ment. It was true that it was not intended that the Act should he retrospective; but the amendment proposed by his Noble and Learned Friend had reference to a particular individual.—(Hear, hear.) Lord TENTERDEN said, that if the Noble and Learn ed Lord was correct in what he had stated, he would ask him why these words were to be found in the Act, " from and after the commencement of this Act, it shall be lawful for any person professing the Roman Catholic religion, be ing a Peer, or who shall, after the commencement of this Act, be returned as a Member to the House of Commons ?" The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the general principle of the Bill was prospective, but the amendment proposed by his Noble and Learned Friend applied to an individual, and he therefore opposed it; at the same time, he would suggest to his Noble and Learned Friend, that if he would look over the Acts, he would see that it was clear that the individual ; , ;ludrd to could not take his seat, as in so doing, he would be obliged to subscribe to the oath of supremacy. _ ..... The Bishop of OXFORD explained. The Earl of ELDON did not mean to follow the Noble and Learned Lord through his observations. I have now been (his Lordship continued) twenty-seven years in this House, and I have on all public questions spoken the opi- nions I entertained, perhaps in stronger language sometimes than was warranted ; but I have now to tell the Noble and Learned Lord, that I have never borne down the House, and I will not now be borne down by him, nor twenty such as he is. —(Cheers and laughter. During the whole of this personal altercation their Lordships used much louder tones and more violent gesticulations than we are accustomed to witness in their House ; and altogether the scene was much more animated than debates usually are in the Upper House,) Lord PLUNKETT could not allow the discussion to pies by without saying a few words respecting the Oath of Supremacy. The Noble Peer then entered into a gram matical analysis of the oath, and showed that it denied an acknowledged and well-known fact, for the Pope has spi ritual authority in these realms. Some Noble Lord having interrupted Lord Plunkett, he called " Order," and ob served that he had a right to state his sentiments, and begged he might not be interrupted. The Noble Lord went on to shew that he understood the Oath of Supremacy to imply that no foreign Prince or Power had any power or autho rity over the Church o tthis kingdom. The point that had been laid down contained the strangest sort of assertion ; and he certainly could not take the clause in any sense but that which he had already stated. When he had in another place stated (in a similar manner to that in which he had made the statement that evening) the interpretation which he put upon the Oath of Supremacy, he had been accused by the Noble and Learned Lord of using something like Jesuistry in his way of enforcing it ; but if this were not the sense of the Oath, and if the Noble and Learned Lord did not mean to admit that the Pope bad the same spi ritual power as he had described, Ile should be glad to know what was the sense of the Oath ? Did the Noble and Learned Lord mean to assert that the Pope had no power at all ? He (Lord Plunkett) was well aware that he did possess power, and that as long as the Roman Ca tholic religion continued to exist, he must possess it ; but the point of view in which this country was chiefly concerned was whether the Pope in the exercise of that power interfered in any way with the authority of the Crown of England ?—(Hear.)—ln discussing that point, it had frequently been said that it was not easy to distin guish his temporal power from his spiritual power.— (Hear.)—But how was that proved to be the case? This question had now been tinder discussion for more than 30 years, and the most inquisitive minds and the deepest re search had been employed for the purpose of finding where the spiritual power of the Pope did interfere with the tem poral concerns of the people. After that investigation, which had been carried on with so much care, only one instance could be discovered in which this was the case.— That instance was where the Pope, exercising his juris diction pro salute anzune, had the power of saying that persons were living in a state of sin who, according to the laws of this country, were cohabiting together in a state of lawful marriage. That was the only one iro.tance that had ever been discovered. But at the same time it was worthy of observation, that although the Roman Ca tholic Clergy said that this was, spiritually speaking, a state of sin, yet they did not attempt to contest the legality of the marriage, nor the lawfulness of the issue proceeding therefrom—including their right of inheritance of property —on the contrary, if any one, connected with that faith, should attempt to interfere with any of those lawful rights that person would, undoubtedly, receive the censure of his own Church.—(Hear.) —This was the only point known to stand in the way of the distinction he had math., and he therefore contended that the interpretation which he haul put upon the oath was a just one. Lord REDESDALE and Lord Fa uNIIAM said a few words amid loud cries of " Question." The Earl of ROSSLYN thought that it would save a great deal of time if Noble Lords would confine themselves in speaking to the cluuse that was actually before the Comm i ttee. —( Hear. ) Lord LIT TLETON said, that it appeared to him e.at the point on which so much stress had been laid, respect ing the idolatry of the Roman Catholic Church, turned on a paint which had not as yet been touched upon. Ad mitting, for the sake of argument—and, indeed, justice required that it should be admitted—that that which was i i,!'atrous in practice was really idolatrous, and that that which was superstition* in practice was really supersti- Lord fiLuNkETT said that the statute of William left the Catholics still subject to the oath of supremacy : in the time of Elizabeth he believed that Catholics had taken that oath, but since that time it had got into b.al company along with other oaths, and the Catholics had ojected to it. Lord TENTERDEN said that when it was taken out of bad company, perhaps the Catholics would again be willing to take it.--(A laugh.) . . Lord HOLtAND s said that the Act which this Bill was to repeal was as retrospective as this; and it was, there fore, but a fair corollary, that in repealiug that Act, it should be taken as a precedent as to how far this Act should be retrospective. Lord TENTERDEN withdrew his amendment. Their Lordships then divided on the first clause, when the numbers appeared to be— For the clause - 142 Against it 63 Majority When strangers were re- admitted, the Clerk was read ing the clause relative to the oath to be taken by Mem bers who came to take their seats in either House of Par liament. Lord MOUNTCASHEL then proposed an amendment, the effect of which was to exclude from the House of Peers, such Roman Catholic temporal Peers, as should happen to be Bishops or Cardinals, or in holy orders in the Romish Church. The Earl of ROSSLYN objected to the amendment. The Duke of WELLINGTON understood the object of the amendment to be, to exclude Irons the House of Lords such Roman Catholic Peers as shotild be a Bishop or Car dinal of the Romish Church, or in holy orders in that Church. But then they had already decided, by adopting the principle of the Bill, that it was expedient that Ro man Catholics should be allowed to sit in Parliament, and that, in that respect all distinction between Catholic and Protestant should be put an end to. But, in the case of Protestants, a Protestant Peer was allowed to sit in the House in virtue of his temporal Peerage, although he should be in holy orders, and there appeared to be no good reason why a Roman Catholic Peer should not be placed on the same footing, if in holy orders in their Church. Lord REDESDALE said, that a very good reason was, that a Bishop of the Romish Church took an oath directly at variance with his allegiance to the King of this country. After a few words from Lord PauemErr, the Earl of HADDINGTON, and the Duke of RICHMOND, The motion was withdrawn. Lord FALMOUTH then proposed an amendment, the effect of which was to provide that no greater number than 100 Roman Catholics should be capable of sitting in Parliament. This was the number of Members returned for Ireland ; and although he thought the limitation to 100 did not go far enough, yet he had rather have that than no limitation at all. The reason which had been stated for the expediency of admitting Roman Catholics to Par liament was the great numerical superiority in Ireland of the Roman Catholic population. That reason did not apply to great Britain, where the Roman Catholics formed but a very small minority. Lord ELLENBOROUGH—If he understood the amendment of the Noble Lord, it went to exclude Roman Catholics from being returned for any place out of Ireland. Lord FALMOUTH—The expediency of admitting Ro man Catholics to Parliament was resisted on the ground of the superiority in Members of the Irish Roman Catholic population, and his object to confine the number of Ro man Catholic Members that could sit in Parliament to that which Ireland returned. The Duke of WELLINGTON.—The principle had been agreed to, that it was expedient that Roman Catho lics should be admitted to Parliament, and then there was no reason why they should not be allowed to represent counties and boroughs in England as well as in Ireland. The Noble Lord said, that he took the limit of one hun dred Members, because that was the number of Members returned fur Ireland, but there was no ground whatever for supposing that the one hundred Members would: be Roman Catholics, nor much reason to suppose that one half of them would be so. Lord FALMOUTH did not wish that there should be 100 Catholic Members in Parliament, but he pre ferred haviug the limit of 100 to having no limit at all The Earl of CAERNA . RVON.—The Noble Lords who were distinguished by the epithet of the Lords on the cross bench,had comp l a i ne d o f t h e con duct of the people of Ireland, and said, that whereas they deserved punishment, Parliament was called upon to grant them a boon, But there was no complaint against the conduct of the Catho lies of England, and then see what was the amount of the Amendment ? It was to grant the boon to those who de served punishment, and to punish those against whom no complaint had been made. Lord KENYON.—But the argument few admitting the Roman Catholics to Parliatnent was the excess of the Ro man Catholie population over the Protestant in Ireland, and therefore the Roman Catholic Members ought to be confined to that country. The Marquis of LAN SDOWNE. —lf the passing of thin Bill would be followed by the advantage 3 anticipated from it, that must arise from destroying, in point of civil rights, all distinction between protestant and Catholic; and al though that might not immediately happen, the ultimate result would be, that the electors, whether Catholics or Protestant., would never inquire whether the candidates to represent them were Catholic or Protestant, but merely whirls was the most competent to perform the duties. As 1 in the caw of the returns to the French Chambers, out of tious, yet it 41 not follow , that ene person might not six Deputies, ref urned for a aistriet in Franco, to the accept a doctrine in a sense that was not idolatrous, while Chamber, three were Protestant, although the great majo another person might accept the very same doctrine in a rity of the electors were Catholic : the reason of that was, sense that was idolatrous.—(Heir.)--This observation that in France, the distinction in these matters between Ca might well apply to the test by which the Roman Catho- thnlic and Protestant had ceased—en, he hoped, it would lice had hitherto been prevented from taking their seats sone cease here. in Parliament. The E srl of DARNLEY opposed the Amendment, and said, he did not think that mire than twenty Catholic Members would be returned for Ireland. Lord FALMOUTH said, he had no security for that, except the Noble Earl's bare word, which, though the beat security in matters within his power and kuowledge, was in this case no security at all. Lord HOLLAND objected to any departure from the principle of the Bill which this Amendment, if adopted, would be. The Amendment was negatived without a division. The Earl of WINCHILSEA had an amendment to propose, which, he thought, would meet the approbation of every Member of that House. The amendment he had to propose was the omission of the following words : " I do further declare, that it is not an article of my faith, and that I do renounce, reject, and abjure the opinion, that Princes excommunicated or deprived by the Pope, or any other authority of the See of Rome, may be deposed or murdered by their subjects, or by any person whatsoever." Now, whatever might have been the proceedings of the Court of Rome in former days, or whatever might have been the course it pursued towards the subjects of other Powers, he believed most sincerely the Roman Catholics held no such opinions, nor had no such object now, and he therefore proposed that those words be altogether omit ted, in order that the Catholics may not be insulted by being called upon to renounce opinions;which no man could believe they entertained. Lord REDESDALE concurred with the Noble Earl, that there was no use in these words, and that they might therefore be just as well omitted. After few words from Lord FARNHAM to the same effect, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that theßoman Ca tholics had been taking this oath for the last forty years without making any complaint, and as it might by some persons be supposed a security, he could net consent to lay it aside. The Amendment was then negatived. Upon the Clause respecting the admission of Catholics into Corporations, Lord TENTERDEN, after observing that the Act seemed to be a very hasty composition, and the wording ta require very grave consideration, proposed that the oaths regular] to be taken by the Act of 1793, when a Catholic took office, should he added to those prescribed by this Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR defended the The Amendment was also negatived. Some other Clauses being agreed to, Lord KENYON moved that the House resume, and the Chairman report progress, as it was not possible they could go much farther at that hour of the morning. Earl GREY and Lord HOLLAND suggested the propriety of the Committee continuing to consider those clauses which were not likely to excite much discussion, and to pass over those which might give rise to objections. After some conversation, Lord KrwiroN persisted in his motion that the House should resume, and their Lordships divided upon that question : The numbers were— Contents Non-contents Majority 99 In the absence of strangers, we understand that Lord ROLLE threatened, if the Committee continued to sit, to divide it upon every question that could be raised. Under these circumstances, the Duke of WELLINGTON submitted to an adjournment till to-morrow (this day) at Five o'clock. Adjourned at Half-past One. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(LAST r•aCHT.) 31r. Alderman ATKINS moved the second reading of the St. Albans Court-house Bill. Mr. HUME presented two petitions against the Aber. deer Police Bill. Haynes's Divorce Bill went through a Committee, and on the motion of Mr. TEtixYsox Counsel were called in, and witnesses examined. The House resumed, and the Report ordered to be presented on a future day. Mr. FYLER presented a petition against the Coventry Canal Bill, and praying that the petitioners might be heard by Counsel against the Bill. Campbell's Naturalization Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. _ _ Mr. BELL moved for returns of the quantities of Coals brought into London during the years 1825 and 1826. Ordered. Mr. LENNARD presented a petition from the silk weavers of Halstead, in the county of Essex, praying the House to take into its consideration the present state of the laws affecting the silk trade. Mr. HUME said no one was more anxious to see the difficulties under which the petitioners labour removed than himself, but he must say lie thought they were under a great mistake as to the real cause. Mr. D. W. HARVEY had no doubt but that it was owing to the large quantities of French silks imported into this country ; he wished the advocates of free trade would point out some means by which the starving thousam!s could obiain a livelihood. He trusted they would be thus prepared when the subject came before the House on Thursday next. After a few observations from Mr. Phillips, Mr. Bright, Mr. Baring, Mr. Fyler, and Mr. Maxwell, the petition was brought up, read, and ordered to be printed. A Message from the Lords announced their Lordships' concurrence to several private Bills. Mr. MAXWELL presented a petition from certain I Dissenters of Paisley, in favour of the Catholic claims; and another from 4,500 persons of that place, respecting the distressed state of the Silk Trade. Lord CLENIENTS presented petitions from several places in the county of Leitrim, against the Sub-letting Act. Lord TULLAMORE, in presenting a petition from the Royal Canal Company, said, I hold in my hand a peti tion from the Directors of the Royal Canal Company, com plaining of a grievous injury inflicted on their vested rights. Sir, there is in Ireland two canals—the Grand Canal and the Royal. Most unfortunately for the into. rests of both, they were executed in parallel lines, running for about thirty miles from Dublin, at a distance of about six miles from each other. This fatal error has been at tended with such ruinous consequences to each, that the Royal Canal does not yield 1 per cent. on the capital ex pended. At this point the canals diverge to their extreme point the complaint ofepa contained r at ion b between i n s petition t a i t n i d o n i 18 s, that mileL the N G ow ir: crn ment have sanctioned the issue of 18,0001. out of the separation public purse, for the purpose of executing an off-branch from the Grand Canal to Kilbeggan, in the direction of the Royal Canal, which will again approximate the two canals, and bring them within eight or nine miles of each other; this extension of an off-branch, they are advised by the highest Law Authorities in Ireland, is illegal. Now, Sir, us the Government exercise a controul over their expenditure, they are prevented from following any other mode of attempting to obtain redress for the injuries complained of. I must explain in a few words, the circumstances attending this grant :—About the time of the dissolution of Lord Liverpool's Government, the Directors of the Grand Canal Company, and John Lambert, the proprietor of the town of Kilbeggan, applied to the Lord Lieutenant for an advance of money cut of the Consolidated Fund, for the purpose of making a Branch Canal to the town of Kilbeggan. I got intimation of this application, and addressed a letter to Lord Mel bourne, the then Secretary of State for Ireland, stating, amongst numerous other objections to this proposed work, that the 10th and 40th George 111. had hat been complied with, which enacts " that no aid out of any public money shall be given for completing any canal un!ess the scheme be first laid before the Directors-General of Inland Navi gation." After some correspondence, it was determined to submit the plans to the Board of Directors, and to stand by their derision, who, after a minute investigation, re ported, that it would be injurious to existing and long esta blished interests, and that they could not feel justified in recommending the work as being one of public utility. The measure was, in consequence, abandoned ; and great was our surprise to find, that on the appointment of Lord Angle sea, as Lord Lieutenant, and my Noble I, 7 riand as secretary, wt h as ascarried application f eit witho t• advance:_ klu c p secrecy, ec f: w cz Nar enewed, that believe warrant was a;tnaily signed before the application for this money had transpired.

Government c , .ntrouled their expenditure, and naturaLy would not al low of an expenditure of their funds in applying against their own decisions. This, Sir, is the only course left for the petitioners to pursue, and they looic with confi dence to the justice and wisdom of Parliaatent for pro tection against this injury. I beg to express my most anxi ous hope that the Government will take this petition into their consideration; if not, I shall feel reluctantly obliged on a future day to give notice of a motion founded on this petition, and th.it the petition be referred to a Com mittee up-stairs. Sir, I beg to move this. petition be now brought up. After a few words from: Lord L. GOWER, the petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. MIME moved for Returns to show the number of Writers, Cadets, Assistant-Surgeons, and Chaplains, seat out to India in I 526, 1827, and 182 8. —Agreed to. Mr. 111.731 E also moved for a Return of the number of Freemen belonging to each Corporate Town in Ireland, distinguishing the resident from the non-resident free men, as far as the same can be complied with. —Agreed to. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Bolton-on-the- Moor, in favour of the Catholic claims. Lord L. GOWER gave notice that he should, on Thursday next, move that the Irish 'Miscellaneous Esti mates should be referred to a Select Committee. Mr. A. BARING presented a petition from the SM.: Manufacturers of London, complaining of the state of the trade. Mr. JEPIISON presented a petition from the Boman Catholics of two places in Cork, in favour of the Ca tholic claims. Mr. COURTENAY presented Returns from the Fo reign Office, which had been received from the King's Consuls abroad, relative to Fore'gn Corn. Mr. STUART presented a petition from the Roman Catholics of Kirkmichael, and another place in Bampffshire, in favour of the Catholic claims. CHARING-CROSS IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. D. W. HARVEY begged to draw the attention of the Noble Lord at the head of the departments of Woods and Forests to the singular circumstances attending the projected improvements in the neighbourhood of Charing cross. The original estimate of these :itnprovements bad been so moderate as to induce Parliament to sanction the undertaking without hesitation. They were taken at a sum not exceeding 400,0001., and estimates were placed before the House which held out the hope that this sum would not be exceeded. Other improvements were sug-, gested in addition, and the whole was estimated at an ex pense of 851,2131. Os. led. The result, however, as was but too generally the case when Government was con cerned, proved that this was a fallacy, and it now came out that these improvements would extend this sum above 25 per cent., amounting in all to 1,147,313/. 12s. 9d. The speculation would, he believed, as far as profit was concerned, prove a vet) , unproductive one to the public, whose money was expended on the alteration Like an other great financial project, it would be found to have its dead weight also, and the result of his calculation on the out lay of money and the returns, proved pretty clearly theta would be a loss to the public on the transaction after relettini of about 193,6031. Possibly the Noble Lord was not awate of the extent of loss sustained. His was an arduous duty, no doubt, when it was recollected there were no less than 18 folio Reports on the subject of the crown lauf?s, woods, and forests. These be had vainly attempted to get through during the recess, and perhaps that Nob:e Lord bad, like himself, not got through the half of them. Extreme personal loss had been sustained in the whole of this district by individuals who had been isolated by the demolition of buildings around them ; and a butcher in that neighbour hood stated to him, that his receipts in trade were dimi nished from 4,0001. to 1,2901. within the last three years. The Hon. Member concluded by moving, that a return be laid before the House of the manner in which the sum of 542,905/. Bs. 6d. had been laid out already in purchases of property for the improvements contemplated in Cha ring -cross, together with an account in detail of the actual expenditure in different departments connected with these improvements, contrasted with the estimates originally laid before the House. Mr. WARBURTON supported the motion. He learned with suprise and regret that the Government Sur veyor had himself taken a considerable tract of ground, which he had let out on lease, su as to realize a consider able profit on the speculation. Lord LOW THER assured the House that there was not one word of truth in the allegation of the last speaker. ..._(ll ear .)_The only property exposed to sale consisted of three lots. The first had fallen into the hands of the vicar whose house bad been pulled down; the second was pur chased by a tradesman in the neighbourhood, befOre he (Lord Lowther) came into office and the third bad been exposed to public rent—(Hear)—and was purchased at the highest bidding—certainly the fairest way, and one which he intended to pursue with respect to the Crown lands generally—by a gentleman known to many of them, Mr. Baker, who had no connection whatever with the depart ment. Great difficulty existed in getting a fair or just estimate where the good-will of property and shops of business was allowed to form part of the amount of the estimate, which often swered the demand of the occu pants to an enormous and unconscionable degree. Such was the case of the butcher alluded to; it 'Was impossible to deal with him OH any thing but exorbitant terms, and he had, it appeared, felt his obstinacy to his prejudice. As to the .economy recommended by the lion. Member, he should recollect the widening of the Strand at Exeter change had been suggested, not by Government, but by Members of that House. Nor could it be expected that it was possible, when money was laid out in the purchase of houses in such a great and valuable thoroughfare as. the Strand, that the public could make a profitable specula,. tion of it, when it was necessary to give up 80 feet depth of ground altogether, in order to throw back the frontage of the street to that extent. Mr. C. BARCLAY wished to call the attention of the Noble Lord who presided over the woods and forr s t s , to the great advantages that would accrue to the public from the proposed improvements in Bird-cage walk. A little more expenditure would he sufficient. Mr. HUME recommended his Hon. Friend to with draw his motion, and to shape it in obedience to the wish( 4 of the Noble Lord. In answer to a question of Mr. R. CoutoßNE, Lord LOWTHEER stated, that the recounneu.aations suggested last year by a Committee of that Hrose to the Board of Works, did not apply to the Woody, and Forests, Mr. BANKES thought a more suffitient control than at present existed over the exper.diture of the public money on public buildings and improvements, was highly ex , pedient. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was glad the Hon. Member saw the expediency of modifying his present motion, and would recommend him also to with.. draw other motions for returns made by him on the 13th ult., relating to the Court of Requests and Queen Ann's Bounty, as in their present lorna they would be not only tedious and voluminous, but very expensive. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, the returns alluded to by the Right Hon. Gentleman were not pursuant to l,is mo, tion, but to one made by his Hon. Friend tbt Member for Aberdeen, last session. His motion was merely for an analysis of those returns. Mr. PEEL assured the Hon. Gentleman that no censure was intended by the suggestion of his Right Hon. Friend, which merely recommended a more practical and less ex pensive form of motion.—The motion was withdrawn. IRISH ADNIIRALTY COURT. Lord F. L. GOWER row to move for a Select Com mittee to whom the lSth report of the Commissioners on the Admiralty and Ecclesiastical Courts of Ireland would be referred. His object was to inquire into the alleged abuses of the Admiralty Court, under its present Judge, Sir Jonah Barrington, which it was due to that officer himself, and to the interest of public justice, should be no longer let to remain without inquiry and, if possible, re dress.---The motion for the Cona:,nittee was agreed to, and a Committee appointed. - ANA ? ! TAIICAL SUBJE( Mr. WARBUitTON . moved for a Committee of In quiry into the ;cleans of carrying into.effectthe'recomnien. datienscf the Committee on Anatomy of last Session ; and also for leave to discharge his Bill at present in progre4s through the House.—Agreed to. Sir A, GRANT brought up the Report of the Commit-. tee of Supply of yesterday. Mr. HUME ob erved,—when the vote granting 200,0004. todefray the claims under the Spanish Conven. tion Act was read,—that it was understood that Ministers would afford full information of the details of the claims, to the defraying of which the present grant was to he applied. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that inquiry, made since he 14st had a conversation on the sub ject with the Hoo,. Member, enabled him to state that satisfactory ex,planation w ou ld b e - Worded respecting the claithants under the Spanish Convention Act. There were three classes of there claimants. The first was fur seizures of slave-vessels. One of these amounted to 1,5081. The next was consequent upon our last rupture with America, when Spanish among other vessels were seized, though not' condemned, by British cruisers. Th e third was for n egro s l aves that had sought and received pro:ection from us in Cumberland Island, on the coast of Florida, during the American war. Those slaves partly btionged to ;interim and partly to Spain. 'The Americans

MURRAY moved the Order of the Day for a Committee on the Newfouudland Fisheries' Regulation A( ts. On the question that the SPEAKER do leave the Chair, Mr. H. VILLIERS begged leave to remind the House. that it was last Session promised to inquire in this into the whole condition of Newfoundland. Sir G. MURRAY assured the Hon. Member that the Government was very anxious to legislate for Newfound land, and only awaited the report of the Chief Justice of fiat Colony. Mr: 'ROBINSON should not feel it his duty to bring ;:ferrward the amendment of which he had given notice last night, when the House went into Committee on the Acts, if he could obtain a pledge from the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite that the Government would introduce next Ses 'ion a legislative measure in reference to this colony. But the Right Hon. Gentleman now said that they had not sufficient information on the subject to enable them to legis late, and he (Mr. Robinson) was not hound to believe that they would have such information next year, or the year after, more than at present. He (Mr. Robinson) did not want the Right Hon. Gent. to legislate in that haste, but surely the Right Hon. Gent. would not object to give a pledge now, from which the inhabitants of Newfoundland might have.reason to expect that all legislation on this subject would not be postponed, perhaps for the next three years, when these Bills shall expire,—namely, in the year 1832 ? Surely the Right Hon. Gent. would have no ob jection to the appointment of a committee next Session to sit up stairs, for the purpose of receiving whatever infor mation the public functionaries and the inhabitants of the colony could lay before them, in order to furnish grounds upon which Parliament could adapt a system of legisla tion in reference to that island. The truth was, that up to the present time the interests of the inhabitants of New foundland had given way to the interests of private indi viduals in this country. He was aware that the House would he unwilling to pledge itself on the subject, hut if the Right Hon. -Gent. would say that he would agree to the appointment of the committee next Session, the public functionaries of the island might then be enabled to furnish him with the information he wanted; and he (Mr. ,Rohinoon) would undertake, on the part of the inhabitants of Nesvfoundland, that they would furnish the Committee with a body of evidence on the subject. If he should get that pledge, he would not bring forward his amendment. Sir G. MURRAY repeated that the Chief Justice of Newfoundland had stated to him that he could not at pre sent furniah him with sufficient information, and he (Sir G. Murray) would only say that whenever he obtained the necessary information, he should be prepared at once to legislate for this colony. Mr. ROBINSON explained. The House then went into a Committee on the New foundland Acts, Sir A. GRANT in the Chair. On the first Resolution, limiting the operation of these acts to the year " eighteen hundred and thirty-two" being put, Mr. ROBINSON moved as an amendment that the word " two " be left out of the Resolution. Mr. HUME thought the Right Hon. Secretary should agree to the proposition which had been made by the lion. Member for Woreester. He did not see what ob jection the Right Hon. Gentlem in could have to the ap pointment of a Committee to inquire into the operation of these Acta. Sir GEORGE MURRAY would be ready to legislate without a reference to the interests of one party or an other, but for the good of the whole colony, whenever he should obtain sufficient information on the subject to en able bins to do so. But surely Hon. Members would not call upon the House, or upon him (Sir George Murray), to enter into a specific pledge on the subject, in the absence att. necessary information ? Mr. ki1.731E was satisfied that the Right Hon. Secre tary, whenever he should introduee the subject to the flour•, would endeavour io legislate so as to satisfy all in terests. but he could not still see upon what pound the Right Hon. Gentleman was opposed to the appointment of a Committee. The House then divided on the Amendment, and there not being forty Members present (only thirtysseveu were counted), the See.axae declared the House adjourned to this day. The House accordingly Adjourned at a quarter before Eight o'clock. _MR.

TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND FREEHOLDERS OF THE HUNDREDS OF BUCKINGHAM, .ASHENDON, ANO COT- TESLOK, IN TUE COUNTY OP BUCEINGIIM. ROME, 'NIARCII 12, 1629. GENTLEMEN—Through the medium of the public Papers, I have learnt that a meeting of the inhabit ants of the Hundreds of Buckingham, Cottesloe, and Ashendon, has been called, to express their opinions against the admission of Roman Catholics to the enjoyment of political privileges and power. Had I been in England, I would most certainly have attended that meeting. Had my health per mitted it, I would ere now have been at my post in Parliament, to have given my vote personally, as I now must do by proxy, in favour of that measure. By the same channel of information, 1 have as certained that at the meeting thus held, certain re solutions were put, a petition to Parliament was agreed to, and an address to his Majesty was carried. Had I been present, I would, most assuredly, have opposed them all, and for these plain reasons :—that I never would have consented to resolutions, which in themselves involved absurdities, neither would I have agreed to a petition to Parliament, or an ad dress to the Throne, which represented as true what I know to be unfounded. I take the proceedings of the meeting from the .IVlorning Journal, the only British newspaper communicating what passed that I have been able to have recourse to here. The first resolution states the Constitution of our country " to have been settled at the Revolution." I have been bred up in great respect for the wisdom of our ancestors, and have always thought that the Constitution of England consisted in the establish ment of our three Parliamentary Estates :—in the trial by jury,—in the liberty of the person of the subject,—and in the other provisions of the Great Charter, as recognised by the Bill of Rights. If I am wrong in this belief, I have high authority to justify my error; for in that case Hampden, the boast of our county, must have idly spilt his blood in a vain defence of mistaken principles. If I look back to times in which these blessings were granted to us, I find that those times were Catholic, and that those who gave them were Catholic Monarchs, and Catholic Parliaments ; in many cases Catholics con tending against the Pope, and maintaining, in defi ance of his authority and power, the liberties of their country. Your first resolution, therefore, contains a mis statement of a fact; your second involves an ab-ur dity. The King, as first magistrate, takes no oath, save to defend our institutions as established by law. The King can neither make nor alter the Constitu tion of England : it is treason to say that he can. The laws are in the power of no monarch of Eng land. But what the three branches of the legisla ture can together make, they can together alter; and what shall so have been declared law, the King by his oath is bound to maintain, and none other. You will probably agree with me that the late Earl of Liverpool was a tolerably stout opponent of the Catholic claims, and he, in Parliament, and in my hearing, declared, that he was decidedly of opinion that there was nothing in the Coronation Oath which could or ought to prevent the King from ac ceding to the repeal of the laws of which the Ca tholics complain. You were told that his late Majesty had declared to a noble relative of mine, that " he had courage to lay his head upon the block, or to retire from his throne to a cottage, hut that he had not the courage to break his oath." The story was calculated to make an impression upon you : it purported to convey the solemn opinion of a monarch whose memory you re vere, given hy him to a statesman, who, I may say, is proudly b itisted of by nu! country. I say this with out fear of being considered unduly vain of my vene rated relation, for Lord Grenville's character is under the safeguard of the history of his country. But the whole story is utterly untrue. It is a pity that those woo relied so much upon this appeal, did not take the obvious means which presented themselves before they made it, of ascer taing its correctness. It would at least have saved them from the awkward dilemma of maintaining a fallacy by aLi v4n6ing what, on proper inquiry, would have been found to be 4p untruth. In your address to the Throne, those in whose laigtoTical hands yon have placed your faith have been singularly enfortti nate, That Address consists of but three para graphs; anti whilst each of them contains a mis statement, the third in7elves an absurdity in addi tion to an untruth. The &Ist states that it was f‘ the glorious Revolution of 1688, whereby the Ca tholics were evitided from all political power in the Government of these re4lins." Now, the Act which did this was pa s,ed in the reign of Charles 11. I advise your historian to correct his first error, In the second paragraph, the means tined now by the Catholics to obtain a revision of the laws of which they complain are described as " violent and un constitutional." . Now, as these means consist only of a recommen dation from the King to his Parliament to take the situation of his Catholic subjects into its " Consitiee ration, with a view of ascertaining whether the laws affecting them may pot be repealed without injury or danger to our Protest,tuir, establishment," and of Bills brought in by his reponsible Ministers in pur suance of that recommendation, to be considered lgy Parliament, the allegation that those means are un constitutional artl violent, may be seditious or foolish, but cannot be true. The third paragraph declares, that " it is utterly impossible for Roman Catholics anti Protestants to legislate in harmony together; and that, to make the attempt, would be to risk the blessings whisk we now enjoy." It is a pity that the zeal with which your petition was pressed upon you did nqt allow of the history of your country being examined before it was com mented upon. Had that preliminary and precau tionary step been taken, it would have been disco, vered that the attempt thus deprecated had been al ready made, and, according to the highest Protestant principles, not without some succese. It would have been found that Catholic Lords did sit in Parliament with the Protestant Peers long after the Reforma tion,—that they did legislate togetlipr for the benefit of the country, and that it was owing to the votes and the ,exertions of the Catholic Peers that the Pro testant Bishops were recalled to Parliament after the Restoration, in the yew 1661. But if it be true that the collision in Parliament of ectholic and Protestant Legislators would only risk the Loo of the " bles sings ;ve now enjoy," surely it must be the limit of the Proteatents3 as history proves to us, first, that the Catholic Legislat.ors li4 legislate in such a man ner as to give us the 56 1)14,411W which we now enjoy ;" that, in conjunction with PrntMant legis lator, they were the means of restoring our parlie,- mentary welacy ; consequently if any risk now be run of losing tinJap blessings, it is more likely to be incurred by the Proteg/ents who would endanger them, than by the Catholics, whpase ancestors erected them. So much for your address to the throne. The petition to Parliament includes all these mis-statements, and all the fallacies of the resolu-' tions and the address, 7,0 b an absurdity peculiarly its own. It« prayer is, not tbitt parliament shall continue to exclude Catholics from poger i f , n4 poli tical rights, but that the laws to which the Re-, man Catholics have for the last 130 years been sub,- ject may not i,i repealed, es the best and safest means of preserving the 131-C!ettant .r !fethligion and G over nment of the county f." Now, is prayer granted, the whole of the Catipl i ie Penal Code mast 4.e re.-enacted! Every Parliament 3ebkeh has sat since tile Ite•?,/plution, and has repealed any po i . r , tion of that satigun,a.ry And tyrannical code, must be declared to have committed tr r z... - .:eon against the Con .atitution ; and even our late re - ,it.; 1 Monarch, whose firm adherence to his oath is so strongly pre sented as an example to be followed by all his sus. cessors, must be declared to have violated that oath,' inasmuch as during -his reign a Catholic Bishop (Cbelloner), and other Catholics, having been tried for' their lives for saying mass as priests of the Church of Rome, under the law at that time exist ing, a bill was brought in by Lord Mansfield to repeal that bloody law, which passed both Houses of Par liament, and to which the King, instead of his veto, affixed his assent,—thus, according to the reasoning of your composer of petitions, violating his corona tion oath. Fortunately, the humanity and good sense of British Monarchs and Parliaments have supplied the practical refutation of your resolutions and of your petitions, The greater part of that bloody code, which he who has composed what you have subscribed to considers the best and safest means of preserving the Protestant religion and Goverment, has been repealed already. His thirst for blood can not now be satisfied ; fur a man may now, in Eng , land, worship God according to his conscience and the religion of his ancestors, without incurring the danger of the gibbet and the axe. Here I close my remarks upon what yon have been induced unwittingly to agree to and transmit to Parliament and the throne as the exposition of your sentiments. Ido in charity and in truth firmly believe, that you suffered your good and kindly feelings to be blinded by the bigotted zeal of others, whom I excuse by feeling convinced that they knew nothing of the subject on which they wrote the sentiments to which you hastily assented. But permit me to make an appeal to my old friends amongst whom I have passed the whole of my life, and to recal old times to your remembrance. You loved my father—a warm friend, a kind landlord, a generous, an able, and an honest mats. He never swerved from his principles; and they led him invariably to support the cause, the comple tion of which Providence did not allow him to witness, but wh;ch his descendants may now look forward to with hope, as they do, wi:h the full belief and conviction that its accomplishment will lead to the security of our Protestant establishment, and the tranquillity of the empire. His exertions all were directed to one end, and that was, to keep the county which the King had intrusted to his charge in peace, harmony, and good neighbourhood. During his life the great spectre of Catholic power, which has alarmed you, appeared in all -its terrors. You never then apprehended the dangers you now tremble at. You differed from him, perhaps, in so much of his political opinions : but you relied in con fidence on his well-known attachment to the Con stitution of his country, and his loyalty to his King, and you did not then allow any fear of imaginary perils to interfere with your feelings of good neigh boerhood and mutual friendship. His brother, Lord Grenville, became Prime MiNister of the country; and, faithful to his principles, openly avowed his conviction, that a measure for the relief of his Ca tholic fellow-subjects was necessary for the safety of the empire. For honestly and constitutionally tendering to his Sovereign advice to that effect, Lord Grenville lost his power : _the very measure which he had recom mended—and for recommending which he was dis missed from office—was carried through Parliament by his opponents ; the King gat e his Royal assent to the Bill; no charge was brought against his Majesty for a breach of his Coronation Oath by so doing : but the object of Lord Grenville's opponents was gained, and the cry of " No Popery" was raised against him and hia friends by the men who, a few years after, actually carried into execution the mea sure which he had recommended. I was then one of your Representatives in Parliament. I held a sub ordinate office in Lord Grenville's Administration. Duripg its short continuance, and in the course of the events which accompanied its fall, I passed through the ordeal of no less than three county elections—the first, on my acceptance of office; the second, on the dissolution of Parliament during the existence of that Administration; the third, on the dissolution which immediately followed our dis missal. I appeal to you all! Pid I for a moment conceal my opinions ? Was there a single dissentient voice to any one of my re-elections ? My colleague was at that time the son of a Nobleman who succeeded my uncle as Minister. Every inducement, there fore, existed to raise the cry of " No-Popery" against me, and it was raised ; and every freeholder within those hundreds who lately assembled to vote those resolutions, petition, and address, voted for me. Aye, every one ! I never experienced a warmer welcome from my constituents . than I did upon those occasions. Aye, every one! even some of those were loudest then in my support, who, at your last meeting, concurred most vehemently with those who virtually charged my father—whom you loved when living, and wept when dead, and myself whom you then honoured with your unbounded confi dence—with being traitors to the Constitution of our country, and enemies of its establishment. Do I take any part of the credit of the reception I at that time eXperippeed to myself ? No. You had not then been lashed into fury and madness by intriguing, mischievous, and discontented spirits, which find in the division of families, in the destruc tion of social habits, in the dissolution of long established friendships, their own foul harvest, and their true reward. You had not then suffered the unbridled enthusiasm and fiery zeal of heated youth to overpower prudence and overwhelm experience. You had not then permitted the quiet of your hos pitable betties to be broken in upon by the frantic orgies of clubo, ana the intoxicating violence of fee. dolls imputations. Ido not charge you with having changed your political opinions; many of my best friends differed from me then upon this subject, as they do now, but none then tried to set the son against the father the nephew against the uncle. The affections of private life were deemed sacred, and its decencies were preserved inviolate, and none thought it worth their while to talk f deluging Buckingham, Winslow, and Waddesdon, with bipod, in full confidence that the Legislature would best decide the wetter, without having re course to such butcher-like appeals. You felt then as Englishmen—and as Englishmen you feel now. But you then preferred quiet homes to noisy meet ings, and good plain sense to frothy speeches and absut.'d addresses. For God's sake and Tor your own, let me implore of you to return to ycur ancient habits. Select the Members of your choice to re present you in Parliament, form and express your opinions like sensible men, but be content with your f r e'p., and Parliamentary Constitution, as it was really formed by you forefathers, who were Catholics every soul of them; who, although Catholics, swore and kept their path, that in defiance of the Pope they would admit no arbitrary power within the realm ; and take example from Protestant Elizabeth, who when the realm of England was invaded under the consecrated banner of the Pope, and with the avowed purpose of establishing Papal power, ac cepted the aid of British Catholics, and calling Bri tish 'Catlio,lie ofli r cers to assist her Protestant forces, by their united efforts preser:;ied the liberties of the , country. i P,.?.lieye me, gentlemen, with every feeling of at 7 tachusent end regard, your affectionate and sincere friend and servant, BUCKINGHAM ADD CHANDOS.

The discussion last night in the House of Lords on the subject of the Committal of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill was unusually interesting and animated. Lord ELooN, annoyed by a teasing gout, as he indirectly observed, launched his sarcasms right and left in a style wholly inconsistent with his usual equanimity. One of these invectives directed at a Right Rev. Prelate was replied to by him with unanswerable effect, and must have given a keen edge, we suspect, to the surprise more than the satisfaction of the venerable and lachrymose Ex- Chancellor. Meanwhile, the Relief Bill is making a triumphant progress through the House, even though the logical faculties of Lord TENTEDEN are opposed to it, and his Grace of NORFOLK, whose ancestors figure in almost every page of our history, will soon take his seat in that House from which he has been so long ungenerously excluded. One great reason for the extraordinary success of the Bill, inde pendently of the general conviction of its justice, may undoubtedly be found in the lamentable imbe cility of its opponents. There has been no union— no consistency among them. One has announced himself a Reformer in the evident sense of the term : another has declared his hostility to any thing like Reform ; a third has voted for the Bill, even though he confessed himself opposed to it on principle ; in short, the whole brotherhood have been smitten with a paralysis of judgment. Such are usually the symptoms which herald the downfall of any great leading faction. United in prosperity, and while all goes on swimmingly with them, they hang together like bees in a honey-comb; but the first touch of adversity sunders them, temper gets the better of discretion, and they form a striking illustration of that just old adage, " gum Deus vult perdere, Arius de►nentat." The Ultra Tories are now at the last stage of political decrepi tude. Even in their corporate capacity they are impotent, as individuals they are the object of general derision. The Catholic Question, that strange resistless influence,6s proved their downfall, in the same way that years since it ensured the dis solution of the Whig Administration. Both parties have in turn been equally the victims of its power. The French Papers announce the elevation of Cardinal CASTIGLIONE to the Popedom. His Holi ness has assumed the name of Plus VIII.; he is 68 years of age, and has been a member of the Sacred College since the year 1816; he was born at Cin goli, Nov. 20, 1761. The Ambassador of France, it is reported, endeavoured to procure the election of Cardinal ZURLA, who did not obtain a single rote. There is a rumour very generally prevalent at Paris that M. nn CHATEAUBRIAND, the well-known author, is to be made Secretary for Foreign Affairs. We have received the Allgemeine Zeilung to the 2d instant, from which the following is an extract : ANCONA, MARCH 14.—The political horizon seems to become rtire s 7,loomy, and the good not to be fulfilled which accompanied the presentation of the Powers to the Porte. Not only is the war with Russia continued, but letters from Constantinople, said to have been received at Corfu, are reported to ipeak of the possibility of a breach with France, because hostilities are continued on the reel:. continent, almost in sight of the French troops, so that the agreement of the 16th November is not observed ; and the Porte be gins to consider the French expedition sot as exclusively intended fur the protection of the Morea, but as a direct hostile proceeciin , tswards itself. Letters from Corfu add, that it is entirely owing to the English Govrnment if the Porte does not suffer itself to be 'carried away by the first impression that this proceeding makes on it. Sir K. Main v raised for ba'ving used his influence with the Tyriii4l Pqpit.lF,(:er.!: in Liyadia and Albania, on having, throqh their Mewls, viptilieht from any i:reel pitate step which iirOulti ligyp plgFea 690 and the French Ministry in a very critieat situation , The inter, view of the Lord High Commissioner with the present Grand Vizier excites new apprehensions, because various a7e in circulation which announce a change in the s entiments of the FA,e and even connect the removal of Redschid Paella with : it, I;ho'notw,th;,taidi.77, his military character, is considered as very mild, and'a friend to peace, and who might probably adopt a more moderate system in the affairs of Preece, than would correspond with the sentiments of the Sultan. Tbe blockade of Candia, and the interruption by Russian ships of the communication between Alexandria and the Asiatic. coast, are now causes of complaint to the Porte, which sees in these measures a continuance of the hostile partiality of France in favour of the Greek insurrection, and thinks that without the occupation of the Morea by French troops, no other Power could have ventured to act independently Of the others, at a time when the Porte continually hears of unanimity, It seems to suspect that a particular understanding sub sists between France and Russia, in order to force conces sions from the Divan, which it cannot voluntarily assent to, and hence it infers, that in point of fact, France is as much at war with it as Russia. It is affirmed, that the Porte acting on these presumptions, is taking measures which indicate dangerous intentions, and the only comfort is, that the English agents will leave nothing untried to prevent the flames of war from spreading any further- But the letters from Corfu of which we have spoken, ex press a fear that the irritation which has lean excited will cause all mediation to be thrown aside, and that the Porte, more and more entangled by complicated circum stances, will in the end resort to extreme measures, without regarding the suggestions of prudence.

Letters have been received this morning by the Isabella Brazilian frigate, arrived at Falmouth, from Rio de Janeiro, to the 11th February, by which we learn that Count MACAO is on board the above vessel, who is empowered, on the part of the Em peror Don PEDRO, to settle the differences which exist between Portugal and the Brazils.

His Majesty's ship Sparrowhawk has arrived at Ports mouth from the Cape of Good Hope, sailed from thence on the 10th February; and the Imperial Brazilian frigate Isabella has arrived at Falmouth from Rio de Janeiro, the period of her departure from thence has nut been exactly ascertained, but it is supposed to be about the 11th Feb., as letters have been received from her of that date, it ap pears, however, her departure was extremely sudden, and two days earlier than expected ; the packets had sailed, and consequently we may be in hourly expectation of ad vices from this quarter of an interesting nature. The letter we have seen does not give the exchange; a distinguished Nobleman (Macao) is on board.

S URREY 00 11 REY SESSIONS.-KINGSTON, OCT. 22. IP A number of Pauper Appeal cases being disposed 0 of this morning, the question which has excited so !. Much interest in this county respecting the sale of 4 intermediate beer by the retail brewers, came on to 0 , ,be argued upon several appeals, before -- SPEER, 1 ' Esq., the Chairman, and a considerable num:3er of Magistrates. " The first case was that of James Webb, a retail breWer, who had been convicted by a Magistrate of 6 : Popham, for selling beer on his premises, and fined I ; In "penalty of five pounds, on the 17th June last. Before the merits of the case were inquired into, ' 1 Mr. THESSIGER, for the appellant, took an objection I to the terms of the conviction, on the ground that If: the -26th section of the Act, the 9th of Geo. IV., rendered it imperative upon the Magistrate to award C ,i, 11 portion, b e i ng not more than a moiety, of t h e fi ne I , to the info rmer , an d t h e remainder to the Treasurer I I of the county. ) Mr. BACON, in support of the conviction, con ; tended with some ingenuity, that the whole penalty 6 was to be recovere d i n t h e usual manner by the ' I ~(i Treasurer of the county. ! i The Magistrates were, however, of opinion, the ; li . t he convi ct i on was :i n f orma l i n terms, and they, con.

The following petition was also read to the Court by Mr. Tickner; in the course of his speech TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL. • '‘ THE HUMBLE PETITION OF CHRISTOPHER TENN ANT, OFSTOCKToN-UPON-TEES, I N THE COUNTY OF DURHAM, MERCHANT, Humbly sheweth—That the city of London, and the. aciast of England, from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Ply mouth, are mostly supplied with coal from the ports of Newcastle and Sunderland, to the amount of 1,200,000 Newcastle chaldrons annually, which is nearly double the number in Imperial chaldrons, or 3,180,000 tons, of which the metropolis censumes about two-thirds. " That in the year 1795, the best Walls End coals were sold free on board of ship at Newcastle at 189. a Newcastle chaldron ; and at the present time they are sold at 365. a Newcastle chaldron, although the method of work ing coal-mines has so much improved. " That the great increase in the price of coals to your Majesty's subjects arises from a combination between the Most Honourable the Marquis of Londonderry, and divers other owners of - eolleries, at the aforesaid ports of New castle and Sunderland. " That arbitrators are annually appointed to award to each coal-ownerthe quantity of coal he is to ship for the year, divided into . rhonthly parts. " That the arbitrators chosen by the Most Honourable the Marquis of Londonderry, and divers other coal-owners for the year 1826, to limit the vend of coals for the year 1827, were Benjamin Thompson, Matthew Plummer, William Stobart, George Johnson, and George Hill. " That. the arbitrators chosen by the aforesaid coal owners for the year„lB27, to limit the vend of coals for the year 1821 are William Brandling, George Robinson, Thomas Hopper, George Johnson, and George Hill. " That an office, with a Secretary, is kept at New castle, and another office at Chester-le-street, to regulate and enforce the awarded limitation in the vend of coals at each of the ports of Newcastle and Sunderland. " That your petitioner humbly conceives that the afore said limitation in the vend of coals is contrary to various Statutes provided against combinations and monopolies, to enhance the price of the necessaries of life to your Ma jesty's subjects. " That your petitioner has made the coal-trade his chief study for many years, and can point out an effectual remedy to overthrow the aforesaid limitation in the vend of coals, and greatly reduce the price of that most neces.ary article to millions of your Majesty's subjects. " That your petitioner, actuated by motives of patriotism, appeals to your Majesty, as the father of your people, to protect them against a monopoly or combination, so detri mental to national prosperity, and oppressive to the poor classes of the community. " Your petitioner, therefore, humbly implores your Nfajesty will be graciously pleased to command him to be examined on oath to the truth of the allegations of your petitioner, before such Members of your Majesty's Right Honourable Privy Council as your Majesty may think proper. "And your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever pray, (Signed) " CHRISTOPHER TENNANT. " Stockton-upon-Tees, 13th November, 1827." Mr. Sheriff COPELAND thought the object pro posed a good one, as he knew that as much coals were sold for 7s. at the Tees as were equal to three chaldrons in London. Mr. Ald. WAITHMAN was glad to see the subject taken up by the Court. An opposition had been got up in the House of Lords against the City of London, when, for the purpose of effecting a great public improvement, it had proposed to levy a tax of 6d. a chaldron on coals. That opposition was placed on the ground of the tax being a great injury to the poor. Their Lordships had extended their sympathy on this occasion a great: . s'Vatttid 'so strong was their sympathy that they brought wit nesses and solicitors a distance of 600 miles, and maintained them in London at a great expence, - not for their own interests, but the interests of the poor. A combination had formerly existed among the coal owners ; a quarrel had afterwards ensued among them, and then coals fell eight shillings a chaldron. The bast coals had been under thirty shillings. The differences, however, among the coal owners, had been healed; they had agreed that the vend should be resumed, and the instant this agreement had been entered into coals had risen more than eight shillings a chaldron. The coal owners had objected to a tax of sixpence per chaldron for a great public object which would have amounted to forty thou sand pounds a year, and they levied a tax of ten sixpences, amounting to four hundred thousand pounds, which they took from the poor and the public generally, not for any public purpose, but to put into their own pockets. These persons had entered into a foul and abominable combination. Ought not, he would ask, the indignation of the public to be roused, and ought not the:opinion of that Court to be displayed ? An oppo sition had been got up to the execution of a great public object, upon the miserable arid hypocritical pretence of the tax raising 40,0001. on the public, while they who opposed it levied on coals a tax of ten sixpences to put in their own pockets. He had been attacked because he had not agreed to certain doctrines concerning free trade; but he should cer tainly like to see the trade in coals free, and before people set about carrying schemes into execution which tampered with the commerce of the country, it behoved them to put a stop to such iniquitous plans as the one he had referred to, for putting money into the pockets of individuals, by taking it out of the pockets of the public, He was sorry to say that some suggestions he had made to the Coal Committee had not been attended to. The public indignation was, he believed, however, now roused, and he hoped the Committee would make such a report as would lead to presenting petitions to both Houses of Parliament. The petition was then ordered to be referred to the Coal Committee. It was also referred to the same Committee to in quire relative to the subordinate officers, and to con fer with the Court of Aldermen thereon. The City Lands Committee delivered in a report with a Bill for establishing a cattle market on Thurs day at Smithfield, which was read and agreed to; and the Bill read a first and second time, referred back to the Committee to fill up the blanks, and re port thereon at the next Court. The Court then proceeded to the election of a person to fill the office of Secondary of the Gilt spur-street Compter, in the room of Samuel Col lingridge, Esq., deceased, and the ballot being taken and cast up, the numbers were— Mr. John James Whereupon the LORD MAYOR declared Mr. James duly elected.

BRIGHTON, OCT. 21.—SPLENDID EQUES TRIAN FETE.—A match, which had excited great inte rest here, was decided this morning on the London road. A gentleman had betted T. H. KEMP, El. M.P. 100 guineas to five that he could not ride one of his own horses nine miles within the hour in the following manner, viz. : —three miles at a walk; three at a trot; and three at a gallop. The odds had varied from 10 to Ito6to 3 cm time; and the performance was considered very difficult, as Mr. KEMP rode 14 stone. Soon after starting, the horse broke six times in the trot, which caused some delay, but he Fe:formed the three miles in 14 minutes. He com pleted the same distance, at a walk, in 36 minutes ; the gallop in SI minutes, winning cleverly, with a minute and a half to spare. The horse vas excellently rode by Mr. KEMP, who was greatly cheered by the spectators. Not withstanding the early hour at which the match came off many gentlemen were present, including Sir H. FALICI NNE, Mr. CAMPION, M&. STEWART, Colonel Alavnit, and divers cfficera of the 15th Hussars, Betting to a large amount took place, and a powerful interest was excited. At this time Mr. Kkair an d a l arge party of gentlemen,having dined there, are passing a mo s t c h eer f u l e vening at the Royal York Hotel, COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 22. MURRAY V. HODGSON, ESQ. N.P. This was an action on a promissory note made by the defendant for 8,0001., dated the 23d of Novem• her, 1825, payable eight months after date, to the order of I.l9avland Stephenson, and by him endorsed to the plaintiff. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the plaintiff', case. The plaintiff, Mr. Adam Murray, was a sur• veyor, who had conducted himself with great repu tation and integrity, and by his industry had realized a competency for himself and his family. Nearly the-whole of it, however, had been put in jeopardy by the conduct of a person whose name had for a long time made a great noise in the world,—he meant Mr. Rowland Stephenson. The defendant, Mr. Frederick Hodgson, was a gentleman of large -fortune, and a Member of Parliament. He, to hi misfortune, had been on terms of great intimacy -with Mr. Rowland Stephenson. They had been connected together for a long time, partly for pur poses of business and partly for pleasure. The note of hand upon:"Which the present action was brought had been given by Mr. Hodgson to Mr. Stephenson, and by that gentleman it was endorsed to the plain tiff (Mr. Murray), as a security for money which he had placed in Mr. Stephenson 's hands for the pur pose of having it laid out at interest. The claim which Mr. Murray 'had against Mr. Stephenson considerably exceeded the 8,0001. the amount of the note, though that sum formed -by far the greater portion of it. Mr. Murray had been employed by Mr. Stephenson in the way of his profs-. sion, about two years before Mr. Stephenson disappeared in this country, and he had opened an account at the banking-house of Messrs. Remington, where Mr. Stephenson had the com -:niand of the money of Mr. Murray which had becn intrusted to his care. The note bore date the 23d of November, 1825. Whether Mr. Stephenson had given Mr. Hodgson any consideration for the 'note, or whether it had been given for the personal accommodation of Mr. Stephenson, he (Mr. Murray) . ew not. What the transactions between the ,fifties were, were best known to themselves. 11..1r. urray knew nothing of them at the time he re ' ceived the note nor since, except what he had heard after Rowland Stephenson absconded, and when Mr. Hodgson was applied to for payment of the 4.3,0001. At an. interview which Mr. Murray then had with him, he was told that there would ba no 6bjection to the principal 'remaining in his hands, .be paying the interest. Mr. Hodgson then request -0 time; but ultimately refused payment altogether. I`..lnit: refusal had given rise to the present action. He Attorney-General) should, in the outset, Malt prove the hand-writing of the parties to the •tiates.. That would be sufficient to entitle the plain tiff to a verdict in the absence of any. case on the part of the defendant. If any grounds of defence should be offered, he would contend against them in the best.way he could; and he hoped he 'should do so with success. The note was then put in and read; the hand writing of the parties being admitted. Mr. BROUGHAM 'would state to the Jury the cir cumstances under which the note had been made by Mr. Hodgson and passed to Rowland Stephenson. Mr. Stephenson had been the owner of an estate near Epsom, in Surrey, called Pitt's-place, and Mr. HEfil!speing desirous of possessing a treaty too` between, them for the purchase.. This was in November, 1825'. A contract was entered into by which it was stipulated that in consideration of a certain sum, to be afterwards agreed on, Mr. Hodgson should become the purchaser of the estate. The written agreement prepared between the parties bore date and was signed by Rowland Stephenson on the 23d of November, 1825, the very day on which the note of hand was given. The considera• tion stated in the agreement as having been paid as part of the intended purchase money was 8,0001. No such sum, nor in fact any sum, was paid • by Mr. Hodgson to Mr. Stephenson, but the note in ques tion was passed by the former to the latter party for the accommodation of Mr. Stephenson, and partly in reference to the bargain for the purchase of Pitt's place, it being understood that if on investigation it should be found that the sum due to Mr. Stephen son on the purchase was less than that fur which the note was given, the balance should be paid to Mr. Hodgson ; but if found to be more, Mr. Hodgson was to pay to Mr. Stephenson the balance due to him. The note having been dated in November, 1825, and made payable in July, 1826, and the time stipulated for the completion of the purchase of Pitt's place expiring at the latter period, application was immediately made by the solicitor of Mr. Hodgson for an abstract of Mr. Stephenson's title. It was furnished by Mr. Stephenson's solicitor in Decem ber, 1825, and immediately laid before an eminent conveyancer for his perusal on Mr. Hodgson's be half. -On examining the title, as disclosed by the abstract, innumerable objections were found. These were stated by the conveyancer in his written opinion, and the abstract, with the opinion, was re turned to Mr. Stephenson's solicitor in Mardi, 1826. The solicitor found that the objections could not be got over, and that the title could not be perfected. The abstract was never returned to Mr. Hodgson's solicitor, and all parties considered the contract at at end. ,The note having been given at the request and for the accommodation of Mr. Stephenson on Mr. Hodgson's entering into the contract for the pur chase, it was, on the abandonment of that contract, taken up by Stephenson ; and if Mr. Hodgson had thought proper to apply for it at any time, it would have been given up to him, he having nothing fur ther to do with the estate. As soon as it was dis covered that a good title could not be made, Mr. Stephenson resumed the ownership of the estate. These were the facts which be (Mr. Brougham) should lay before the Jury. When he had done so, and proved that no consideration for the note ever passed from Rowland Stephenson to Mr. Hodgson, and that Mr. Murray received it after it had become due, it would be quite unnecessary for him to go into the other circumstances of the case for the pur pose of satisfying them that Mr. Murray had acted without due caution. These facts, as detailed by the Learned Counsel, were afterwards proved in evidence, after which the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. WEST V. HALL AND ANOTHER.

This was an action in which the plaintiff and his partner, who are coppersmiths, sought to recover from the defendants, Messrs. Dunstan, Piumer, Trower, Hartley, Green, Levi, Bensusan, Shake shaft, Wickev, and Clifton, the value of certain works and labour performed for a Joint Stock Com pany called the Imperial Distillery Company, of which the defendants were aeged to be partners, as Directors or Shareholders.—The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs for the =omit claimed, viz. 2621. and costs, The ease lasted from the sitting of the Court until eleven o'clock at night. Anothe r Stall in Salisbury Cathedral is now vacant by the dcath of the R'n's JOHN GUARD : B. 1), to inquire into the state oldie revenue arid L xpen liture of the empire, with a view to reeoreenerid ,!conomv in the employment of the former. and retitle ion in the amount of the latter. This locument exhibits a view of the prospective Tei iiisterial budget for the eighteen mouths from January next to July, 1831, making such com ments and suggesting such changes as, in the )pinion of the Committee, the public interest demands. Any extended account of this in quiry would scarcely be warranted by the trifling interest felt in the subject on this side of the Atlantic ; but we shall make no apology for a brief notice of the report, .which, being dated the 20th of August, may be regarded as the inost recent publication of the Brazilian esti mates. The Commission natueallf - diVO'theie . labours into two parts, the fir ,rere - rtitig 'to expenditure, and the last to the; ways and means. The former is again subdivideeinto six d,-p-irt.- !nents ; the expenditure, whieltlakes, pla -e tin der the Ministry of the Interior,' . .i.pfe4Justiee, Foreign Affairs, of Marine, of War, iof Finance. The charges of the Interior aiecunt in the ministerial estimates to 1,105,114 lA rees, or about a quarter of a. million sterling, and the CommisSion propose to reduce . them to 9341,710 milrees. The stun demanded fen- the department of Justice is 801,857 milrees, •• and the Commission think that 725,228 would be adequate for the remuneration all the services performed, under this. lead, They are equally Unsparin ' in the . Inanch of expenditure under th e Ministry fe,r reign Affairs, which they propnee to rie duce from 771,133 to 540,000 They then arrive at what they call one of the greit absorbents of 'the public revenue—the g:irine, which they propose to reduce from 4;920,8f53 to 3,112,400 milt-tees. In the V, Tar Dena - rtment Lhey find more work for the pruning , knife than in any other service, cutting doiAn the Le,tiinated supplies from 7,800,000 to 4,400,000 mlrees; or lopping off nearly one half. The depart ment of the Minister of Finance. shares a similar fate, the estimate in that budget being 14,011,713 milrees, anti that of the ConunieF3ion amemiting only to 9,929,885. The whole e , i;inatcd ex penditure of the state is thus rei7tieed by the Commission to 19,672,223 milrees, which taking the inilree at its late value in Porzu , ral, would amount to nearly 5,000,000/. s!eriing, llut which, from the depreciation of the Brazil curiencyi must fall much below that sum. • Arming the many evils with which the present - , ys!em h as' afflicted society is the Law of Arrest. \Yid:out this law it has been deemed impossible tc , parry on trade to its present extent ; and to el: lonseribe the transactions of commerce is incompa tible with raising the present amount of taxes. Thi facilities for recovering debts induce persons to hob; out great inducements to the thoughtless arid inex perienced to make purchases, which, we regret to state, is carried to such an extreme, that even shop men and apprentice boys are not exempted from the lure.-- The effect of which is, that instead of n young man saving his money first and spending it afterwards—as was formerly the custom—he now runs in debt, relying upon the chances of trade, or the chapter of accidents, for the means of meeting the demand when it becomes due. We would, however—if attainment were within the reach of our powers—lay the axe at the root of the evil ; failing this, we would repeal the Law of Arrest, which, although the effect, would soon cheek the cause. But this, also, is attended with great difeuity, fraikihe existence of the prejudice wt have above referred - Th'—namelyi.thattlifjaw of ar rest must be co-existent withntitelireittat system of taxation. Therefore, in our iXtability to_ remedy the evil, we are anxious to see Inch palliatives adopter as the Legislature may be inAuced to accord to us; and - to accomplish this end is the object of the pre sent notice. We need hardly say that-the expeuce of recover ing debts is a great grievance to the fair trader; for it is very evident that the money paid for costs attending the recovery of a debt is so much taken from the pocks is of other creditors. This is so evident a proposition that no one, wu think, will be disposed to di-muse it. A owes at other letters of the alphabet 500/.; of this sum, I claims 50/. He sues A for the amount, which is ultimately paid with 201. or 301. costs. The pay ment of these costs renders A less capable of satis fying- the demands of his creditors who have been less pressing than B ; and consequently the money which, in the -shape of costs, passes from A to B's attorney, is Qo much taken from the pockets of the other creditors. .. But if this be a great grievance in cases where the debt is_ to a large amount, what is it where small turns are concerned ? For instance—a man goes into a shop and gives an order for goods to the value of thirty-five shillings. Though this transaction is supposed to be for money, the cre ditor evades the payment, either from a .lack of cash or of principle. To recover this debt in the County Court, supposing him to be litigious as well as poor or unprincipled, the skopkeepermust incur the risk of. an. enormous expellee of costs ; and successful, must entail that enormous expence or, the debtor. If the creditor be a „roan _of thought and of principle, he must prefer putting up with the loss' of his property to embarrassing the debtor, although he knows Mtn to he of dishonest character. But if he could :recover without , the infliction of the-enormous attendant expence, and without the delay which at present places(' the creditor at the mercy of the debtor, the case would be very dif ferent, The - s,llopkeeper would recover his due; the creditor would be compelled to pay " what he ought, and what he bought;" and many a man, and many a family, would be.4aved from irretriev able ruin. Our object is to induce the inhabitants of this town to petition Parliansent for the establishing a Court of Requests in. Brighton, for the recovery o! sums, say under 51. or 10/. Besides the great sav ing in point of expence,At would have this good effect :—The Court of - Requests would be an open Court. It thence follows, that if a man were un able to pay, his ability would become generally known—his facilities to obtain credit would be di minished, and he would be preserved from the con sequences of speculating or living beyond his means. A Court of Requests would also be invaluable in cases of disputed accounts, where the parties are obstinately disposed, end inimical to each other. Some persons may say that these stubborn natures are justly punished by the results to which we have referred above ; but this is not a Statesman's view, whose duty it is to enable a man to assert and re cover his legitimate rights, with as little inconve nience as possible to him who withholds it, whether from unworthy motives, or from an erroneous im pression. A case that has just transpired we shall take the , liberty of citing in illustration of our position. It is that of a disputed debt. The particulars are these : Mellish, a coachman, and a very respectable man, had agreed to supply a young woman, named Streeter, who keeps a fruit and green-grocer's shop in this town, with a certain quantity cf walnuts at a stated price. The agreement %vas not reduced to writing. The walnuts were delivered. Streeter says they were not according to sample—Mehish says the contrary. She refuses to pay, and he in sists. This transaction took place, we believe, in 1826. Well—at length Mellish applies to a lawyer, who issues a summons from the County Court —to which the defendant puts in an appear once. The cause proceeds step by step, from the July Court, 1828, to that held the Bth October, 1829, when the matter comes on for trial. The evidence, as a matter of course, is conflicting—but, the plaintiff has the good luck to get a verdict to the full amount claimed by him, with one shilling superadded as damages, carrying costs. Now comes the gist of the matter. Plaintiff's attorney delivers his Bill of Cests, which of course is submitted to taxation. It comes out of that fiery ordeal, and assumes the following shape : We have not space to enter into lie grounds on which these various reductions are proposed and justified. The Commission s anictimes ge!!; satirical, and at other times becomes intligna'nt at the extravagance on which they - are called to report. They find out that two noble Mar- , guises who had been judges of the Supreme Court, and had been promoted to places in the Administration; still retained their judicial sala ries after they had retired from judicial duties.— On this they observe that the nation is too poor to support, by • accumulated sinecures, idle ness and vanity. In remarking on the ex penditure of the Foreign Ministry, they ex press an opinion that Ministers of the second order should be sent to France, England, Austria, Russia, Rome, and Colombia. What Courts shall have Ministers of the first order ? It would . . appear none. So that the Brazil commission, in their diplomatic arithmetic, start from the number 2. They cannot withhold a sigh whets they think of the London mission. " Would to ' God," say they, " that there never had txisted a London legation ! Then the treasury of Brazil would have been more fortunate.!ll7 To make this " oxala" speak to the eye as well as the car, they point the expression of their re gret with three marks of emphasis as above. In coming to the Department of Marine they object to the quantity of stationery employed in the office of the Minister, and—properly enough, perhaps—think a porter and four deputies too many for opening his door. But the climax of their surprise and repugnance is reserved for the expenditure of the War Department, which they say is enough to drive the blood back into the heart ! • It supposes an army of 26,000 men, and makes out a budget to be merely an arbi trary estimate to obtain money. A very delicate point is touched in the remarks of the Commis sion on the expenditure of the Finance depart ment, which includes not only the charge of col lecting the revenue, but the payment of the divi dends on the public debt. We cannot go further," say they, " without asking, have the interest and sinking fund on the Portuguese loan in Lon don been paid ? Have the dividends of the last six months of 1828, and those of the year 1829, been yet discharged ? If they have not, where is the money ? If the Commis sion can lend its ear to public report, there has been no interest paid on the loan, the payment being suspended by the omnipotence of the Lon don legation. If this be the case, !haw, without some explanation, are the respective sums ad vanced which show an uninterrupted continuance of the transaction ?" To these questions the London Brazilian Legation and the English Portuguese hondholders can respectively ipet i : e the best answers—the former as to what ' has be come of the money, and the lattee. i s to whether they have received it. Some e:planation, how ever is due from the one to the other, as the original nhis ac towards iva debtor o i s interceptedccr comp huts a o is that risibl,aas third. defeated,ris i t e y. t inter- Brazil would do well to enforce punctuality in the dischar ge o f h er pecun i ary obligations, as, from the st cneodxpe f her di revenue lure compared tisliot x u vi n t l li ik t e l l i y e abro nes t e.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Flom the Messager des Chambres.) His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Meck lenburg Schwerin has convoked a General Assembly •of the States, at Stern:berg, for the 10th of Novem ber next. The subjects which are to be brought under deliberation are— I. The ordinary tax of the country. 2. The wants of the general commission of receipts. 3. rt.P definitive fixation of the country, and the rights of nattiTalization ; paving attention, at the same time, to th means of diminishing poverty. 4. The introduction an amelioration of mortgage registers. 5. The revision of she regulations relative to recruits. The Semaphore of ,Marseilles contains the fol- lowing : " Commercial expeditions for the Levant, pre pared in England. " The Minister of State, President of the Bureau of Commerce and the Colonies, announced to the Chamber of Commerce, under the date of the 7th of this month, that he is informed the armistice con cluded between the Russian and Turkish armies had given a singular activity in England to the opera tions of the commerce destined for the Levant, the speculators supposing that the interruption of the c -z:stomary communications with Europe exhausted a ll t h, Turkish warehouses at the commencement of the war. Thus, says Count Bengnot, they eagerly seek for all artlt:!es which form part of the comm. - are of the Levant, and 4 ,:epare different cargoes, which will soon be shipped ant: sent off " The President of the 17,7eau of Commerce does not doubt but that the same rt.:isiderations must have struck the merchants of Marse;:!es, formerly renowned for its success in the commerce of the East. At all events, he has thought it necessary to inform the Chamber of the immense activity ma nifested in this respect in England, in order that the merchants of our city, which is nearer to Turkey, may adopt means to be before-hand wid the Eng lish merchants in provisioning that country.' The works of the new e.a.i.t.q of the Chamber of Deputies are proceeding with aaivity. The plan for the tribune is to be changed, and in,f4eAll of being before the bureau it be at the other .?:11. pf the room, opposite; so that M.Courvoisier, if it se-, ha,p, pen that he should aaeend it, will have the pleasure of finding himself opposite to his old friend on the centre left, M.

The French Papers of Wednesday have been received this morning by express, but their con tents are not important. The Augsburg Gazette says that it received the Treaty of Peace between R ussia and Turkey, but makes no mention whatever of the additional Treaties. We pre sume these will only be published when their objects have been accomplished. Moderation is the word with Russia, but aggression the act : (From the Messager des Chambres of Wednesday.) SECOND EDITION. PARIS, OCT. 21. The Avgsbury Gazette of the 16th says, " We have received by express the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Turkey in the original language, which is inserted in an Extraordinary Supplement ro-day.—(This Supplement has not been received at Paris. )—Accounts from Egina in the Austrian Observer say, that the President of Greece arrived on the sth of Sept. on board the Hellas frigate at Egina, coming from Pores, and was received with the usual honours. A monk who arrived at Egina on the 6th of Sept. from the Monastery of Jerusalem, near Daubs, at the foot of Parnassus, which he left on the 28th of August, brought word that 4,000 Albanians had penetrated through the defiles of Mount Oeta into the Plains of Turko-Chori, Livadia, and Tanandi. They had with them 3,000 beasts of burden laden with biscuits and pro visions. Karat isso had left his position at Budouitza some days before. The Turks halted hero for two days, in order to assure themselves there was no ambuscade in the difficult mountain passes of Fontana and Vassilico. The inhabitants of those parts have fled into the moun tains, abandoning their crops to the enemy. Demetrius Ypsilanti, with about 3,000 men, occupies Petra, the village of Steveniko, and some other strong positions of Mount Helicon, and also the roads on the southern de clivity of Parnassus, which lead to Delki and Salona. It was thought that Karatasso was posted at Ambliani. We have received by the Alcide, which has arrived at Havre, news from Bourbon of the 25th of July. The Nievre and Chevaette corvettes had touched at St. Denis only to take in water, and then proceeded with the troops they had on board to join the Terpsichore and Indefatiyble frigates and the Madegasear corvette, which had before sailed fur Madagascar. The object of this division, it is said, was to expel the Malgaches who had just taken pos session of our establishments in that island. The troops were to land at Fort Dauphin and St. Mary. The Queen Mother, who now governs Madagascar, has conceived such a hatred of every thing French, that she resolved no longer to tolerate our flag on her territory. Her troops, which are now disciplined in the European fashion, might perhaps oppose with advantage the intended invasion, but they seem to propose to leave it to the pernicious influence of the climate to rid them of the French regiments. Every day our settlements in India decline. We cannot maintain our ground there except humbled, or fugitives.

Last week a great number of cannon and mortars with their carriages were brought to Ghent, which are intended for the armament of the fortress of Oudenarde. Must of them were cast at Liege in 1828. The well-known French writer, M. Fontan, has arrived in the territory of Hanover. Ocr. 20.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber to day, Committees were appointed to examine the qualifica tions of the new 'Members, which being found satisfactory, they were all admitted to take their seats, with the excep tion of M. Brugmans, whose admissibility the Committee judged to be doubtful, because he is a member of the per manent Committee of the Syndicate of the Sinking Fund. The Chamber afterwards proceeded to choose those Mem bers from whom the King is to select the President t.f the Chamber for the present Session. The choice fell on Mr. Corver Hooft, Mr. G. G. Cliffort, and Mr. Reyphins. AMSTERDAM, OCT. 20.--Exchange on London, 12f. to 12f. 20c. ; two months, 12f. to 12f. 15c. ODESSA, SEPT. 30. The Journal of Odessa, of the clove date, announces that, in consequence of contrary winds, no ships had ar rived for some days, either from Constantinople or the con. quered Turkish ports. However, the Governor-General of New Russia and Bessarabia had, by the Emperor's or ders, allowed the exportation of all articles from the ports of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff, which had been prohibited during the war. Among the troops of the sa nitary cordon there had occurred two deaths and suspi cious cases, against the possible consequence of which the most prompt and decisive measures had been taken. Our Paris Correspondent is more partial to the views of Russia than we can subscribe to. He sees no danger in the extension of territory by a power already possessing more than it can wield with effect. This might be just abstract edly considered, but it does not hold good with respect to Russia ia her peculiar situation. Were Russia to extend her frontiers ten thousand miles into such wilds as Siberia, the acquisition of ter ritory would only serve to weaken her strength, because the regions of snow would yield no return ; but the case is far different by terri torial aggrandizement in the South. There she not only consolidates her power, but causes that power to be felt by rival nations in a manner unknown before. The southern pro vinces of Russia have hitherto been to her a source of loss rather than profit, for want of that very power which she has now acquired. This is the secret of her strength. Extension of boundary, in any other direction, would add nothing to her strength, because it would de tract from her moral power; but on the side of Turkey the reverse is the fact. The free passage of the Dardanelles unlocks that dungeon in which the mighty energies of Russian enterprise have hitherto slept. A new world is opened to her ambition, and Russia thereby becomes at once a naval power in the North and the South of Europe. It is therefore obvious that extension of boundary towards the South was the only thing wanting to give vitality to the dormant mass of terri tory in her Southern provinces, and the opening of the Dardanelles is the key-stone of that ambitious arch, which Russia has been constructing for the last century, and without which her labours would have been ren dered useless. The mighty work is now achieved, and Europe will soon see the consequences. Our Correspondent very justly says, " that nothing is more obvious than that mere extension of ter ritory is not necessarily accompanied by the capa bility of aggression ;" but here the matter is dif ferent. Without access into the Mediterranean Russia could not affect our commerce, but now she can not only affect our commerce, but compel us to keep a stronger fleet in the Mediterranean, if we wish to maintain our naval superiority there. Shut out from the :Mediterranean the power of • Russia was a mere shadow—it is now a substance fraught with ac tive apprehension, and the disposition to be ag gressive because it may. The following are the letters of our Correspondent : PARIS, OCT. 20. It has often been observed, that the public press of a country affords a fair indication not merely of the manners and habits of the people, but of the general tendency of the national character, and if this be true of any country, I consider it to be emi nently so of France. Ad astra tollere vultus is the habitual aspiration of every true Frenchman with reference to natiosial:prosperity, in whatever language he may arrange his thoughts. Through all the fitful changes of the last half century the same sentiment has predominated;—varying, indeed, in form, but identical in substance. Whether the national great ness was to be represented by the sceptre of the Grand Monarque, by the revolutionary terrors of the Great Nation, or by the conquests of the impe rial arms, the universal feeling has always been pointed to national distinction, if not to territorial aggrandizement. The liberal press of France, which is raid by some to controul, but which I would rather say represents, the general feeling of the people, is at this moment Ns artnly engaged in foster ing the spirit of aggrandizement ; and I am per suaded that the greatest and most serious objection to the present ministry, in the eyes of the press and the people, is the comparative moderation and rea sonableness of their views on g subject on which the the nation at large is so extremely sensitive, The Premier, personally, they could pardon for his royalist prepossessions, in consideration of the tie; ,-,•,f consanguinity which are believed to subsist between thy. reigningreigning Monarch and his favourite minister. As regards the other members of the cabinet, they too might expiate their sins against ,the charter, from a belief in their inability to overturn .the pri,vileges which have been guaranteed by the law of elections and the liberty of the press, pro vided only they would manifest a sufficient degree of ‘,4et4 in gratifying that morbid sentiment with which the people go co deeply imbued, and which they distinguish by th.e 44, - Pe Pf " glory." The objections to the recp - ,t trey between RUS, sift and Turkey at this side of the Channel, seem 411 to resolve into this narrow and, I roust also say, this unprincipled view of the subject. It is admitted ,cat France is not to suffer any substantial disadvan tage '4' tiw- :i,eir.:3l of the treaty, as they have now transpired, but siich is Op ;a7 eteratejealousy of the power and a scendancy of titgland ia th-_; general affairs of Europe, that they would 'be Content to sulic;r a considerable disadvantage, provided only that their eternal rivals, as they are ' pleased to call us, were subjected to a greater; because they say that they could not be better compensated than by the degradation of .Great Britain. This I humbly conceive to be a very narrow view of the subject, and to be founded in bad policy and bad logic. But what is utterly disgraceful in principle, and seems to set a sad stain on the national morals, is the use which the liberal party would have the ministry to make of the present posture of affairs in the East of Europe. They say, that under present circum stances the Government of Russia would find it for their interest to wink at an extension of the French territory, in consideration of a corresponding cour tesy on the part of France towards Russia. They contend that Russia has nothing to lose by France becoming great and powerful; and that by this pur chase of mutual neutrality, neither party would be put to any expence, but that England in effect would have every thing to pay. The liberals now exclaim that they must have a national ministry ; but while I fear that the nation itself is not impressed with a due sense of its own interest, I continue to be per- suaded, as I have all along expressed to you, that the force of public opinion is so strong against the present cabinet as to make its fall very nearly inevitable. I come to this conclusion, because the constitutional party, besides being far more numerous than the royalists and their adherents, are also much better o►ganized, and, in every sense of the word, more able tacticians. It was, I conceive, the very worst of policy to take such violent measures against the association in Brittany for organizing a systematic opposition to the levy of taxes unauthorized by law. This, indeed, is now tacitly acknowledged by the abandonment of the proceedings too hastily adopted against the Journals which gave publicity to the re solutions of the association ; and the ►mpolicy of these proceedings has now become apparent from the new associat ions, and the new systems of agita tion to which they have obviously given rise. It was, in fact, a species of persecution ; and it is well known that to persecute even an erroneous opinion is the surest mode of giving it firmness and stability. The abandonment of the judicial proceedings has af forded, besides, a demonstration of the weakness of the party by whom they were instituted, and has ex posed them to what they can least of all afford, the mockery and contempt of their antagonists. I believe it is now ascertained that these associa- tions are not amenable to any existing law, and ►t is pretty' certain that as the Chambers are at present constituted, no new law will be enacted for their suppression. It would be said, with some show of reason, that as associations already exist in France for mutual insurance against the dangers to be ap prehended from fire, inundation, piracy, and death itself, why should they not also be permitted against ministerial extortion ? An incidental cause of fresh jealousy against Eng land has just arisen in the activity which is understood to exist in the ports of Great Britain, for the purpose of taking advantage of the exhausted state of the stocks of goods in the Turkish warehouses in the Levant, in consequence of the interruption which has existed during the %var to their habits of com mercial intercourse with Europe. From the compa rative proximity of ➢'larseilles, and the advantages afforded by a speedy communication between the French shores of the Mediterranean and the Levant, it is thought that the merchants and artizans of France should at least, in this department of com merce, take a decided precedence over those of Eng land ; but a lurking consciousness that the superior enterprise and activity of their insular rivals will counterbalance the disadvantage of local situation, excites, as I have said, only fresh symptoms of that restless jealousy which forms so striking a feature in the French character. " Although I have not been able to concur in the view which has been taken of the late treaty by The Sun, I cannot help congratulating myself on be longing to a country where a subject of such vast importance has been treated by the great political journals, in a manner so very different from what I have had occasion to allude to as the voice of the Liberals of France. The discussion has in general been conducted in a manner equally creditable to the public morals and the public intelligence of the country. But why, after all, should we insist that Russia has been too rigorous in her demands on her prostrate foe ? Is not all the world to share with her in the free passage of the Dardanelles ? and what evidence is there of an atttempt to grasp at an extension of territory ? Is it not more reasonable to suppose that Russia takes a just and rational view of her own interests ? that she finds that her terri- tory is already sufficiently extensive for every true national purpose ? and that her substantial interests, her power, and her strength would be better pro moted by facilitating the means of internal inter course, and by giving a free scope to the activity and exertions of her people ? And are not these objects kept strictly in view throughout every clause of the treaty of Adrianople ? By opening the Black Sea to the unrestricted commerce of Russia, the Don, \Volga, and the Dnieper will be called into a new existence, and without the vexatious interrup tions which have hitherto been presented by the re gulations imposed by Turkey, they will afford the means of transit for the trade of the most remote provinces of the empire. That alone I conceive to be a sufficient compensation to Russia for the whole of her exertions in the war which has just been con cluded ; and as I have not been able to see in this treaty any symptoms inconsistent with the modera tion so uniformly professed by the Emperor Nicho las, and with what appears to me to be a just view of his own interests, I must still, with great defer ence, dissent from the views which you, in common with some of the ablest of your contemporaries, have adopted on this subject. PARIS, OCT. 21. You have no doubt observed that the Quoti dienne has hitherto manifested a more than unusual degree of caution in expressing its opinion on the subject of the late Treaty. At length, however, it has spoken out ; and, assuming it to be in some de gree the organ of the French Ministry, I take it for granted that the approbation of the Quotidienne must be regarded as the echo of a similar sentiment on the part of the French Government; and if, as every thing seems to warrant us in believing, there be still a perfect understanding between the French and English Governments on the subject of Eu ropean politics, it may, I apprehend, be also in ferred that the present Treaty is not likely to be at tended with any further disturbance of the peace of the world. And, with all the attention which I have yet been able to bestow on the discussions on this subject, which have an opposite tendency, I am still at a loss to see any cause for serious apprehen sion on the subject. If the balance of power, of which we have heard so much in this discussion, means any thing at all, it is not the extent of terri tory of any particular State, but its capability of committing any acts of aggression on its neighbours, which ought to be deprecated. But there is nothing more obvious than that a mere extension of territory is not necessarily accompanied by this capability of aggression. On the contrary, an accession of terri tory, beyond what is necessary for self-defence, is more frequently a source of weakness than of strength ; and I am persuaded that, at this moment, the Statesmen of Russia are thoroughly convinced that their predecessors have carried this passion for territorial aggrandizement much beyond the limits which were necessary for the real strength of the Empire ; and that even the fertile fields of Poland have not added in any degree either . to their powers o aggression, or to their means of defence; requir ing, to their Polish subjects will long require, the presence of a powerful army to enforce their tran quillity and reconcile them . to the dominion cf the C'sars, I anf not sufficiently read in the modern doe, trines of international law, to be able to tell how far one or more States are entitled to dictate to another in the prohibition cf further accessions to its terri tory or its power—for these terms appear to me to have hitherto been erroneoudy regarded as synoni inOits or conyertiole 7 ---but I apprehend that Russia has at length the 'wildotp to see that her territory is sufficiently extensive, and even more than sufficient, for every desirable purpose; and so long as she con tinues to strengthen herself, by facilitating the means of internal communication, arid encouraging her people in the arts of peace, I hold it to be clear that she will in effect become stronger at home, and more an object of apprehension to her neighbours, than if all the dominions of the Porte were added to her empire. This, however, is a source of dan ger for which I presume there is no provision in the international code to which I have alluded, so that we must content ourselves to follow the example which is set us, and to make ourselves strong also by similar means, which would surely be more con sistent with good policy as well as with good morals, than the unprincipled suggestions of the French Liberals, to which I alluded in my letter of yesterday. The Portuguese emigrants in France, about three or four hundred in number, have, it appears, received orders from the Ministry to quit the king dom forthwith. Many of them had settled in Brit tany, and had, with their families, engaged in com mercial pursuits. Such of them as resided at Laval and Mayence have already been marched in small detachments to St. Maio; from whence it is said that their ulterior destination is England, Belgium, or the Brazils, according as their means or their ne cessities may direct. No defence of so harsh a measure has yet been attempted by the Ministerial Press; but us every thing in this country is liable to extreme exaggeration, I cannot even in the ab sence of contradiction give any credit to the state ment in the Journal des Debats, that some of these wretched refugees were induced to embark on board vessels which were immediately sent to the mouth of the Tagus, or to some other point, where they were destined to fall into the remorseless hands of the Usurper. The King of Naples travels, it seems, through the French territory with all the insignia of Royalty; and in passing through the principal towns the same honours are paid to him as would have been paid in a Royal progress by Charles the Tenth himself, with the exception only of the omission to present the keys of the different towns to the Royal Visitor. A new Association has been formed in Lorraine for mutual protection against the levy of taxes tin. authorized by law, on the same principle with those of Paris and Brittany. Lisbon Gazettes, from the sth to the 10th of Octo►,er inclusive, have been received, but contain no news whatever. Indeed, we could not expect that Don MIGUEL would be the first to announce the present dilemma into which his measures have plunged the country. We were on the point of drawing attention to the " corrupt practices" still carried on in the coal trade, but for want of room we must desist. We regret this the less, however, as our readers will find some observations on the subject by our cotemporary, the Chronicle, under the usual head. It appears by the proceedings of the Court of Common Council yesterday, that the long dis cussed question of the office of Secondary has been at length set at rest. The report of the Com mittee recommended the appointment of a Secon dary during the pleasure of the Court, and after wards that that officer should be annually elected, which was agreed to by the Court, and orders given to prepare a bill for that purpose, as well as regulating the duties of the office. This is very proper, for it is disgraceful that places of such trust and importance should be sold, like beasts in Smithfield, to the highest bidder.— Hitherto the duties of Secondary were very nu merous—and the importance of the office may be inferred from the following list :—With the Secondary it rests to accept or reject bail at his own discretion, without assigning any reason for so doing ; to preside as Judge at all writs of inquiry ; to assess damages directed to the She. riffs of London ; to summon all juries in the city ; to attend the trial of all prisoners at the Old Bailey, and the Common Council when ever assembled, &c. This office was filled up yesterday by the elec tion of Mr. JOHN JAMES. The vacant office of Coroner was also filled up by the election of Mr. 'WILLIAM PAYNE. LAW NOTICES.

0,v7 INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH: CHASJMETTE P. THE BANK OF ENGLAND. The AT -° "EY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Gun hy) 9 to the Jury that this was an action by Mr. De la ..nttte, a banker at Paris (who was, in fact, 'ttly the ! , al plaintiff), to recover 5007., being the glue of a England note, which had been pur ‘sed by s. • iier, moneychangers of Paris, and by them trans:. to Messrs. De la Chaumette, who trans bitted it to ' Bank of England. It was there recognised °t anote Lad been stopped at the Bank, and alleged to have been st , with other notes, from a Mr. Heselden. The Bank impounded the note, which was an act of great hardship on the ulaintiffs, as it prevented them from re- Lirning it to the persons from whom they took it. Such k mode of proceedi..l by the Bank would effectually pre tent the circulation of Bank-notes on the Continent. 'This action had been tried once before, and the plaintiff had then obtained a verdict; but it having been represented to the court above that full value had not been given for the tote, that verdict was set aside, and a new trial granted. lie (the Attornev-General) should now, however, be able to show. that full value, if not more than the value, had been given fur it. He then called Thury (examined by means of an interpreter), clerk to Messrs. Odier, of Paris, who stated that the note ties purchased by them in the course of trade, and French 11160 eYr at the ra t e o f 25 francs 40 centimes per pound .„ 11 iug, was given for it to Mr. Emerique.

We have learned with great pleasure that the noble and national pastime of Archery has been re vived in the South and Western parts of England, with a splendour and propriety of costume propor tioned to the chivalrous character of the amusement. To our own countrymen, the descendants of the Archers of Agincourt, Cressy, and Poictiers, the use of the bow is well known : indeed so generally is it prized, that even the ladies warmed, no doubt, with some portion of the same generous ardour which once inspired the archers of " the olden time" are using every endeavour to bring it into - general repute, more especially in the county of Berks. In this noble province where so much wealth and beauty abound, elegant females, in tasteful dresses appro priate to the sport, are in the frequent habit of form ing themselves into graceful grouper, and contending for the prize. Here are to be seen the Lincoln Green of which Scott makes such picturesque use in his sketch of the Knight of Snowdon ; the hat archly turned up in a style which Maid Marian would have been proud to recognize, and adorned with elegant devices of the bow, the flower and leaf or bugle. Most ardently do we hope that this delightful pastime will speedily become general not only in Berks, but throughout every county in England.— It is linked in memory with the proudest historic associations; and so far as romance and sentiment are acceptable to the ladies, brings full before their minds the good old days of Robin and Maid Marian, the secluded haunts of Sherwood Forest, the spirit, health, animation, and enterprize of the " Lordly Squires," and " proud dames" of " merrie England." GLOBE INSURANCE COMPANY.-SALA RIES TO DIRECTORS OF PUBLIC COMPANIES. Yesterday a Meeting of the holders of the Globe Stock was held at the Company's House, Corn bill. The attendance of Proprietors was more than usually numerous, on account of a letter which has been circulated in the city, relative to the enormous salaries paid to Directors of Public Companies, in the prosperity of which so many large capitalists and others have an interest. The Chair was taken by J. L. GOLDSMID, Esq., and the routine business of the day having been dis posed of, Mr. HUNTER rose to move a resolution, having for its object the reduction of the salaries of the Di- rectors. He entered .at some length into the sub ject, and stated in the course of his remarks that the Chairman and Directors had received for their services upwards of 100,000/., independently of their dividends,being equal to half the profits of the con cern since its commencement. He argued that the Directors of Public Companies were too highly paid, and contended that some reduction should be made. He concluded by moving the following Resolution, viz.—" That the allowance to the Chairman be re duced from 500/. to 2001. per annum, together with the use of the house in Pall-mall; and that the allowance to each of the twenty-four Directors be reduced from 150/. to 100/. per annum, by which means a saving will be effected to the proprietary of 1,500/. per annum." Sir SAMUEL SHEPHERD (the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer in Scotland) proceeded at great length to deprecate the motion of Mr. Hunter. He had been one of the proprietors of this Company from the first day of its institution in 1803 ; and when he vested his money in it, he vested it under the idea that, whether the investment was beneficial or not, he was to have no trouble whatever in the management of it. The investment had turned out, as they all knew, very beneficially. Their capital had accumulated from 1,000,0001. to 1,500,0001.; their shares had increased in value from 100/. to 150/. During all the time they had received five per cent., and during several years seven per cent. on their money. Was there, then, any reason for making this reduction in the salaries of Directors who had performed their duty excellently to the Company, and who had never been accused, and were not even yet accused, of the slightest misma nagement ? Would it not be said, if they went on reducing the salaries of their Directors, first from 150/. to 100/. and then again from 100/. to perhaps 75/. or 50/. a-year,—would it not be said, he asked, " Oh, the Globe Insurance Company cannot be do. ing well ; there must be something not quite right, for what do you think ? They are obliged to reduce their salaries!" Would the circulation of such speeches do them no harm ? lie agreed with the Directors in thinking, that the passing of this re solution would be the infliction of a stigma upon them ; and for this reason—ghat it would be telling them that for years past they had been consenting to receive a remuneration far be yond that which, as honest and conscientious men, they ought to have demanded. He was then proceeding to notice points which had been casually introduced into the debate, when a very old gentleman, with a very sharp-beaked nose, and a very brown bob wig, who had been twisting himself about on his chair for some minutes in great apparent uneasiness, and muttering to himself " Words, words, mere chaff and no corn !" could no longer controul his impatience, but desked the speaker to sit d own , as h e had already talked longer than any body in the room, and had said nothing to the purpose. Mr. FRESIIFIELD, the Bank solicitor, Mr. CHAP MAN, and others, spoke against the Resolution, which was ultimately npgatiyed, A Gentleman then proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Directors for their conduct during the last year; but he was reminded that the meet ing was dissolved, and could entertain no furth?r m~tioa. It thus singularly happens that the Direc tors of the Globe Insu'rance Company have not ob tained the thanks of their constituency for their ser vices in the last year. We are sorry to perceive that a boarding has been erected on tile East si4e Of St. James's-street, urbio is likely to block up the footpath (mos't unnecessarily) pro= bably for the next six months. LITERATURE. FAMILY LIBRARY, No. 7, LoNno , :, 1829. The " History of Insects," the first volume of which forms the seventh number of this varied and instructive Miscellany, puts forth many cu rious particulars on the subject of many of these extraordinary little animals, which serve to show the very singular character and extent of their sagacity, or, as we believe we should rather call it, their instinct. On the nature and habits of the different orders of spiders, which swarm in our fields and houses, the author is interestingly diffuse, and partially overturns the popular no tio❑ of their possessing venomous properties. On this point, Goldsmith, if we remem4er rightly, in his entertaining romance, the " History of ' Animated Nature," was very decided and pe remptory. He asserted, in unqualified terms, that the spider was a venomous animal, a dogma which the author of the present volume as un hesitatingly contradicts. The following parti culars respecting the common gnat, that pest both of town and country, are curious : " There are few insects with whose form we are better acquainted than that of the gnat. It is to be found in all latitudes and climates ; as prolific in the Polar as in the Equatorial regions. In 1736 they were so numerous, and were seen to rise in such clouds from Salisbury Cathedral, that they looked hire columns of smoke, and frightened the people, who thought the building was on fire. In 1766, they appeared at Oxford, in the form of a thick black cloud. Six columns were observed to ascend the height of fifty or sixty feet. Their bite was attended with alarm ing inflammation. In Lapland their numbers have been compared to a flight of snow when the flakes fall thickest, and the minor evil of being nearly suffocated by smoke is endured to get rid of these little pests. Captain Stedman says, that he and his soldiers were: so tormented by gnats in America that they were obliged to dig holes in the ground with their bayonets, and thrust their heads into them for pro tection and sleep. Humboldt states, that ' betwee❑ the little harbour of Higuerote and the mouth of the Rio- Unare, the wretched inhabitants are accustomed to stretch themselves on the ground, and pass the night buried in the sand three or four inches deep, exposing only the head, which they cover with a handkerchief.' " To the curious in matters of natural history we recommend this volume : it displays consi derable research, and brings together, into one well-arranged mass, a greater quantity of novel and instructive information than any work of the same size that we have met with for some time. COLONEL EVANS, ON THE PRACTICA I3ILITY OF AN INVASION OF INDIA. (From the Morning Advertiser.) We alluded four days ago to a new work from the pen of Colonel Evans, on the " Practicabi lity of an Invasion of India" by Russia ; but the crowded state of our columns has hitherto pre vented us from paying that attention to it which the importance of the subject, and the able man. tier in which it is discussed, in the treatise in question, so amply merit. We shall now enter somewhat farther into particulars. The various topics brought under considera tion by Colonel Evans, though not marked by any very distinct division, or regular classifica tion, may be summed up under the following heads : 1. The commercial and financial prospects of England, and her ability to go to war. 2. Proofs of the design of Russia to wrest from us our Indian territories, when a fitting op portunity presents itself. 3. The practicability of a successful accom plishment of the design. Upon the opinions put forth by Col. Evans under the first head, we shall have some observ ations to make in a day or two, and shall, there fore, for the present merely remark that the Go vernment of England never yet went to war without meeting with adequate support from the people of England, both in men and money, and that if need be, there is as little question of such being the case now as at any period since the Re volution. The truth is, that generally speaking, war is always more popular in this country than peace, and that if a Ministry had no other means left of ingratiating itself with the public, the making of war alone, upon any plausible ground, or for the accomplishment of any plausible ob ject, would be sufficient to relieve it from the stigma of general condemnation. With regard to the second point mooted by Colonel Evans, proofs of a long settled design by Russia upon our Indian territories, are pro ' duced ad nauseam. So far back as 1790, " the Empress had firmly resolved," says the Survey of Eton, in the event of a war, " to attempt to send an army through Bokhara to Cashmere, to place the Mogul on the throne of India, and drive the British out of their possessions : and there were then in Russia," adds the same work, " Frenchmen who had been sent into those parts by M. de Vergennes, and who offered to conduct the army." " When the British fleet was about to sail for the Baltic, to force the Empress to make peace, Prince Nassau, who was them in favour with her Imperial Majesty, presented a plan for sending an army through Bukhara to Cashmere, and thence to Ben. gal, to drive the English out of India. " Little difficulty was foreseen in passing through Bokhara ; it was even hoped, seeing the object was to re-establish on the throne of India a prince of their religion, that they would be friendly to the enterprise; however, were they not, little appre hension was entertained of a people so disunited among themselves, and who tremble at the name of Russia. " St. Genie pretended that there were passes through the mountains, and that he had people who had been in the country, sent by M. de Vergennes. He presented with his project a map, and a march route for the army. " They counted on being joined in the north of India by the discontented from all parts." Again, in 1819 and 1820, as soon as the affairs of France had been settled, missions, not for purely scientific purposes, as occasional slips in the published accounts of those who accom panied them, were almost simultaneonsly dis patched to Bokhara, to Pekin, to Khiva, to the Toorkomans, and previously to Khokand. One of those functionaries observes, that " it is to Russia that the office belongs of imparting to the Khanats of central Asia a salutary impul sion, and of diffusing throughout those coun tries all the benefits of European civilization ;" and another .adds, in emphatic terms, that for the benefit of Russian commerce " Khiva ought to be taken possession of." Again, Colonel Mouravief, who was employed in a mission to Khiva, in 1820, has the following, among other passages, equally pointed and satisfactory as to the design ; " If we possessed Khiva," says he, " of which the conquest would not be difficult, the Nomades of Central Asia would dread our power, and a com• mercial route would be established from the Indus and Oita (or Amou) even into Russia; then would all the treasures of Asia enrich our country, and we s hould see realized the brilliant project of Peter the Great. Masters of Khiva, many other States would be brought under our dependence. In a word, Khiva,is, at this moment, an adv ance d post, w hi c h opOses itself to the commerce of Russia with Dok- Kara and N d rn India; under our dependence, I Khiva would become a safe-guard, which would de -1 fend this commerce atminst the attacks of the dis persed people in the Steppes of Central Asia. This oasis, sit sated in the midst of an o ce . m of sand, I would become the point of reunion for all the com merce of Asia, and would shake to the centre of India the enormous commercial superiority of the dominators of the sea." These are tolerable proofs, that the idea of invading India, is not quite so foreign to Rus• Sian policy as has been generally imagined ; and that the practicability of carrying it into effect has been greatly augmented of late years by the success of the Russians against the Persians, — the political relations which they have been so anxious to establish, and so successful in many instances in settling on a permanent basis—but especially by their possession of European Turkey, and the consequent inuring of their army to a warmer climate cannot be doubted. Nor, as has been amply shown by Col. Evans, is there any actual impossibility of accomplish ing the invasion. " The project of the Russians," says Col. Evans, " appears to be, to move three or four thousand men over, for the most part, a sterile steppe, deficient in water, but of inconsiderable breadth. There (at Kliiva) to be reinforced by further detachments, to facilitate the bringing up of which arrangements could then be easily made, and also to be recruited, both at that place and at Bokhara, from the unfor tunate Russians and Persians at present held in captivity. It is at Balk that, in fact, a consider able train of baggage animals would have to be pre pared. The distance to Attock is nearly five hun dred miles. But excepting the Hindoo Coosh hills, of ten or fifteen days in the passage, it is generally a peopled and well-cultivated country. The mer chant caravans, which constantly cross the Ilindoo Coosh, consist chiefly of horses and ponies, being more adapted than the camel for the defile passes. But camels abound on both sides of the mountain." " The time likely to be occupied by the Russians in these supposed movements might be about as follows : " Mr. Fraser was informed by several persons, whose reports coincided, and whose statements he considered worthy to be received, that the distance from the Bay of Balkan to Khiva is twelve days' journey for a caravan; in another place he gives it at ten days. M. Mouravief states the distance from thence to the neighbourhood of Bokhara, for heavily laden boats, at seven days' voyage. From this point to within two days' march of Balk may be another voyage of four or five days. Here then are twenty five, or suppose we admit it to be thirty-five days' journey for merchants, which we will allow a Rus sian force a whole campaign to accomplish ; in order that there may be full time for establishing them selves in Khiva, Bokhara, Samarcand, &c. " Let us then suppose, that early in the following year there are ten or fifteen thousand Russihns, with twenty or thirty thousand of newly organised troops assembled between Balk and the ancient Anderab at the foot of the mountains ; smaller columns being directed towards the passes leading to Peshawar and Cashmere. " From Anderab, through the defiles of the Ilin• doo Koosh to Caubul is one hundred miles. From Caubul to Attock is about two hundred and thirty miles. It is strange if they cannot accomplish this within the second campaign, aided, as there is too much reason to apprehend they may be, by many of the discontented and unprincipled Afghaun chief tains ;—some of whom are even perhaps, at this very time, urging their invitations to this invasion." On the most obvious mode of opposing such an invasion, Colonel Evans says : " Caubul, as before obset ved, has been invariably regarded as the key of India; whether the invader advance from the west or the north, from Candahar or from Balk. The Hindoo Kush mountains, which interpose between the fertile plains of Balk and the rich valley of Caubul, are the most impor tant feature in all this tract. They form a ramifica tion of the Himalehs, extending from thence in a continuous line to the westward. On the line be tween Balk and Caubul there are several passes running chiefly along the beds or sides of the moun tain rivers. These, in winter, are subject to ava lanches, and are at no season good roads, although constantly in use, both by armies and caravans, from the most ancient to the present times. There is also a pass from Koondooz to Attock, by the way of Peshawer, and from Koondooz to Cashmere. E mour, we find, from his own statement, entered India in three colums. There were 30,000 cavalry previously stationed in Afghannistan. These were directed upon Moultan. The centre, consisting of 32,000, also of cavalry, passed by the way of Balk, Caubul, and Peshawer, to Attock. The left wing, of 30,000 of the same arm, from Samarcand, in the direction of Cashmere. " It would evidently be desirable that we should have a complete knowledge of the Ilindoo hooch, and of the passes through it ; as a question would most probably arise as to whether it should not be occu pied by a detached corps in support of the native bands, in the event of menaced invasion, and of the Afghauns or chief part of them being in alliance with us. It, no doubt, offers strong po&tionQ, as an advanced line—if held by a force which knew how to defend them. There is a river (the Pau meh) which falls into the Caubul river, westward of Peshawer, along which runs for some distance the road to K.fiondC;oz. This would also, perhaps, be occupied. But these are no more than details and conjectures. The fact of the operation not be ing locally impracticable, is, I think, demonstrated. " One word will only be added. It was an esta blished and well-known maxim of the Romans to carry their wars, whenever they could do so, into the territory of their enemies. Thus it was that, in order to put a. signal termination to the invasion of Italy, they resolved on assailing the source of Han nibal's power in Africa. The source of the Czar's encroachments in Asia—is in Europ e ." We snake no apology for the length of this extract, the importance of which would justify even a more lengthy quotation. There is evi dently, from the proofs adduced by Col. Evans, a design on the part of Russia to seize the first favourable opportunity of threatening us, if not of meditating a serious invasion, on the side of India—there is also a practicability of accosts plishino. this object ; and the evident conclusion from the whole, is, that it behoves us to adopt every possible precaution both against the further aggrandizement of Russia, either in Europe or Asia, and also to secure our Indian frontier, by conciliating the various tribes and governments, between it and the Russiar, boundary. On all these points we cordially recommend the work of Colonel Evans as pregnant with much valuable information, and replete with sound views on the various topics to which it refers.

The Prussian and Spanish Ministers visited the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday, at the Office of the Se- cretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Prince LIEVEN, the Russian Ambassador, and Count MASTUCEWITZ, had a conference yesterday morning with the French Ambassador, at his residence i❑ Portlind-place. Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD and Air. HUSKIS• sort have arrived at the residence of the Marquis of HERTFORD, Sudborn Hall, Suffolk, on a visit to his Lord ship. The Noble Marquis is at present entertaining the Duke of WELLINGTON and a select party of Noblemen and gentlemen. Despatches from Lord STUART de RoTH SAY, at Pat is, were brought to the Foreign Office on Wed nesday night by a messenger, who passed through that capital on his way from Ancona (which place he left on the 13th inst), with despatches from Sir FREDERICK ADAM, at Curfu, fur the Colonial Office. The mes senger also brought despatches to the Foreign Office from Mr. DAWKINS, our resident in Greece. Despatches were sent off' yesterday evening from the Colonial Office for the Earl of BELmollE, the Governor of Jamaica, and others of the Governors of the West India Islands. The Duke of WELLINGTON has paid into the Treasury the sum of 1,025/., received by him as Lord Warden of the Cinque Pot ts. Among the items carried to the credit ac count of the last quarterly return of the revenue, was a sum of 120,1211. received of the West India Dock Com pany for the purchase of the City Canal. DRURY-LANE TIIEATR E.—Mr. BA RRY moRE's new melodrame, which he calls the Greek Family, was lest night most deservedly damned at this Theatre. It is sad trash, and after an attentive heating was pro nounced intolerable. Mr. COOPER strove to gain a hear ing in its favour, but was scarcely successful. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.--A newpiece, in two acts, entitled The Robber's Wife, was last night brought out at this Theatre. The plot is taken from the Tales of the Munster Festivals," and has already been dramatized at one of the minor theatres. It is simple in its construction, and replete with interest and incident. The piece was throughout ably acted, particularly the character of Larry 0' Gig, which, in the hands of Mr. POWER, occasioned abundant entertainment. The house, we were delighted to perceive, was crowded. PRESENT TO MISS FANNY KEJIBLE.— Another• interesting incident occurred the night before last, at Covent-garden Theatre, besides the presence of Mrs. SIDDONS to witness the performance of Juliet by her niece. The actors and actresses took the opportunity of presenting her with a beautiful chased gold bracelet, studded with jewels; and with an inscription stating, that it was given as a slight token of the obligation she had conferred upon them, by corning forward at a time when, bar; for her, probably, the Theatre could not have opened ; or, if opened, could not long have continued so. Miss F. KEMBLE received the gift very gracefully and thankfully, as a proof of the kind feeling she had inspired, rather than as a merited testimony of her excellence in the only part in which she has appeared. It is to be regretted that Mrs. SIUDONS did not show herself on the night when she attended ; for she thus totally prevented the enthusiastic expression of admiration which must have followed the knowledge that she was present. There has been considerable talk within the last two or three days respecting the probability of Mr. HUSKISSON rejoining the Cairinet, from which he seceded during the first months of its existence. lle is now on a visit to the Marquis of HEnzroan, at Sndbourn where, also, Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD, the Duke of WEL LINGTON, and a select party, are staying on a shooting excursion.. It is alleged that the present CHANCELLOrt of the EXCHEQUER is to give way to Mr. HusrussoN, and that the Leadership of the House of Commons is the bait held out. Mr. PEEL, it is added, will be elevated to the peerage.-211orning Advertiser. We understand that G. H.

A separation is about to take place in high life between a Noble Lord and his lady who have recently entered into the matrimonial state. The unhappy diN rence is said to have arisen from the discovery of a letter received by one of the parties from an enomoruta, who likewise is of titled distinction, and united by Hymen's bands to a Supposed favourite lover. The discovery alluded to has produced a chain of evidence which, it is said, can not 1 e controverted. A gentleman travelling by a stage, was regret ting that be had not a seat in front. " Pray," said an ther passenger, "did you ever travel this road before ?" "0 ! yes, often," was the answer. " Then now, Sir, you have the pleasure of travelling behind." Early on Monday morning was caught oppo site Newnham Passage, an immensely large eel ; its length was seven feet two inches, weight 591bs. and girth 2S inches. In the course of the day it was brought to Glou cester, for the inspection of the public, and was allowed by judges, to be the largest fish of the kind ever taken in that neighbourhood.— Cheltenham Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY FACT.-A few days since no less than 25 earwigs, alive, came from the head of a young female, residing at lleullis, near Newport. She had eoniplainA of severe pains in the head, and was at tended by Mr. JAMES llAwk - tris, surgeon, of Newport. It is supposed that the insects must have been generated in the head. —3.formouflishire It is singular (says LEDYARD) that the Arab language has no word for liberty, though it has for staves So strong is the propensity of the Russians to jealousy, that they are guilty of the lowest offences on that account.

SPIRIT OF THE PU/3LIC JOURNALS. We did not speak without book two or three days ago, in hinting at the results whinii would be likely to follow from an enforcement of the official orders for stripping the military officers of the East India Company of half their customary allowances. The " penny wise, pound foolish nature of this attempt to exasperate the only friends of whom the Company might havc reckoned for the protection of an empire—VVe will not say how acquired or how governed, or surrounded by what variety of dangers—is al ready discoverable, Ist, from the alarming I( t rs addressed to the Governor-General of India by four great departments of the Bengal army,--viz. the Artillery, Cavalry, Infantry, and Medical Staff; and, 2d, from the official circular of the Adjutant-General at head-quarters, in reply to the remonstrances from the several corps, an nouncing that Lord William Bentinck (a per fectly honest and well-meaning man, but) the most inflexible of all descendants from a Dutch fbrefather, would transmit to Leaden hall-street the complaints of the army, and recommend to the Court of Directors a re consideration of their obnoxious project. The petition and remonstrance of the Bengal Ar tillery proceeds from one of the most respect able and celebrated corps in the world. It is signed by Brigadier-General Macleod, and fort - - four other officers, of whom nine are of the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and Major. The me morial of the 3d Light Cavalry has the signa tures of Colonel Hawtrey commanding, and of fifteen brother officers. 'fhis appeal to the Go vernment appears the more serious, because it comes from parties who confess that they are not in their own persons likely to be injured by the proposed reduction of batta ; but that their re gard for the " welfare of the army" -compels them to make common cause with those branches of it which the measure threatens to affect. When a military body present themselves as complainants on the strength °fie/low : feeling, where they have no personal stake, matters begin • to exhibit a somewhat gloomy aspect. The Ar tillery memorial declares the authors of it to be " wholly unable to bear quietly a permanent re duction from that which was before hardly adequate to a decent maintenance." The Cavalry " cannot submit sliding" to the operation of the order, &c. The Infantry announce, that the cheerful ness and promptitude heretofore evinced them in the discharge of their duty, will give ' " dissatisfaction and de s i'l)aLe o feelings de t iicg,eih'ts of with %thi c h it is not in human nature to combat. The • body of Medical Officers exclaim against the curtailment of their allowances for medicines, &c. and plead many peculiar grounds and reasons which make • their situation under the intended blow one of intolerable hardship. The whole correspondence manifests on the part of the army a rooted con viction of the injustice practised on them in this instance, charging the Company, in measured though unambiguous language, with the most unfeeling cruelty towards faithful servants, whose lives have been devOted to its service, and with a gross violation of those compacts, expressed or implied, in reliance on which the officers of .the native army had abandoned their distant home, and embraced the chances and contingencies of a protracteda nio laistt to eiid possessing their competence m i p n e t t l e i ce le' w ope herewith re a :' ti days in easy and decent repose. We do not s a y that the advisers of this disastrous p ars i mony have meditated a general embroiling o f th e affairs ier ate exile, c of India, as a warning, in the nature of " Noll me tangere," to the Government and people of England, should there be any where an inclina tion to relieve the Company from the toils of empire, and to take their dominions int o t h e keeping of the State ; but if the wish in Leaden hall-street were to throw India into confusion, to • disgust the Parliament and the nation with its concerns, so that thus on the eve of an expira tion of their charter the whole property might be blown upon, as it were, and the Company enabled to buy it in on easy terms, why, we submit, that if (a supposition which we allow is absurd) so laudable a scheme were meditated, no more promising way to execute it could be found than to plunge the native force into a general mutiny, and invite an army of foreign invaders to the Indus. The statesmen of Leaden halbstreet (able managers though they are) m a y be deceived in their expectzn,ions of subduing, by late wisdom, the storm which their impru dence, if nut their injustice, has generated.— Times. The proceedings at the meeting yesterday of the Globe Insurance Company, though incon clusive, xvill he read with interest by persons connected with that and similar establishments. Our own opinion on the subject has been already intimated. It is no reflection on the moral qua lities or conduct of any stipendiary functionaries to reduce their salaries in these times : it is only a proof of the prevalent and well-founded opi nion, that economical reforms must be adopted, in order to allow the burdened public to pay the interest, and ultimately reduce the principal, of its Own debt. It was a singular argume, nt of Sir Samuel Shepherd's, that economy, in the management of any concern must, or might, cast a suspicion upon its stability. Our_ inference would be the direct reverse. Hol;ever, the worthy proprietor in the bob-wig demolished the fine-spun arguments of the legal sophist in the best way—" Words, words !—mere chaff and no corn ! Sit down, you hie talked longer than any one else ; and said nothing to the pur pose." There is one vim infecti ng the direction - of establishments of this nature in general, and the Glob we believe not less tainted with it -. than others ; and that vice is, that the sarr.e per son is director in several companies. Director ships have really become a trade. Now, if a corporation is to derive importance and attract customers from the influence of its directors, ought that influence to be dividtgl ? I, r one portion of it in one society to be wort; against another poi tion cf it in anotlie society ? The practice is dishonourable, and ought to be abolished.—/bid.. A subject of very g reat _ importance mas yes- - terday agitated in th e Court of Common Coun cil—the combination of the great Coal-owned . : i of the North, and tho mode of defeating tbeiar.: The owners of the collieries in the neighbour hood of the Tyne and Wear regulate among themselves the vend of coals in such a way, that in supplying London they can fix their own price. A little while ago the coal-owners fall out among thcmselves, when each sold at his own pric e , and as much as he thought proper, the price of continuanceco f e ll eight o f thi9 shillings a c state of l a t 1110 things, s: heDuringMarquis q t u b i e s of Londonderry, Lord Durham, &c., warmly sympathised with the poor of the metropolis, who suffer so much from the high price of coals. The sympathy did not, however, endure long.—. The coal-owners soon found that high prices, without sympathy fo: the suiferinas of the poor, ~:

- wtre better than low prices with sympathy. Mr. Tickner alluded to the prospect as to defeating; the combination from the Railway now con structina under a new Act to the mouth of the Tees. L "lt seems the coals in this quarter are ample in quantity and superior in quality, and can be worked at a less cost than those transmit ted by the Tyne and Wear. We trust that he will not be deceived in his expectations. The severe opposition which was made for two or three Sessions to the Bill for the construction of the Railway, is alone tolerably conclusive as to the opinion of the Tyne and Wear coal-owners - on this subject. It is expecting too much from poor human nature to suppose that the great coal-owners in the Tyne and Wear, having it in their power to take four hundred thousand pounds a-year, under an arrangement among themselves, more than they could take without it, would have any scruple in pocketing it.— We confess we have never yet, in the course of our experience, stumbled on any persons who thought they could receive too much either for their goods or their labour. To saturate men with good things has always appeared to us a very hopeless endeavour ; and so satisfied are we on this point, that we should even have some doubts whether even Mr. Alderman Waithman might be proof against thz. power of taking 400,0001. a-year from the consumers of coals, though he inveighs so eloquently against " the foul and abominable combination. ' We do not believe there is a man in the House of Lords, or House of Commons, or Court of Common Council, who, if circumstances gave' him the power of adding 400,0001. a year to his former receipts, would not avail himself of them. But Mr. Alderman Waithman thinks that the Mar quis of Londonderry and his fellow-combina tors have been a little too lavish in the way of hypocrisy, in the interval of the non-existence of the combination. "An opposition (lie ob served) had been got up in the House of Lords against the City of London, when, for the pur pose of effecting a great public improvement, it had been proposed to levy a tax of 6d. a chaldron on coals. The opposition was placed on the ground of the tax being a great injury to the poor. - Their Lordships had extended their sympathy on this occasion a great way, and so strong was their sympathy, that they brought wit nesses and solicitors a distance of 600 miles, and maintained them in London at a great expence, not for their own interests, but the interests of the poor. A combination had formerly existed among the coal owners; a quarrel had afterwards ensued among them, and the coals fell eight shillings a chaldron. The best coals had then been under thirty shillings. The differences, however, among the coal owners had been healed, they had agreed that the vend should be re sumed ; and the instant this agreement had been entered into, coals had risen more than eight shillings a chaldron. The coal owners had ob jected to a tax of sixpence per chaldron for a great public object, which would have amounted to forty thousand pounds a year, and they levied a tax of ten sixpences, amounting to 400,000/., which they took from the poor and the public generally, not for any public pur pose, but to put into their own pockets. These persons had entered into a foul and abominable combination. Ought not (he would ask) the indignation of the public to be roused, and ought not the opinion of that Court to be displayed ? An opposition had been got up to the execution of a great public object, upon the miserable and hypocritical pretence of the tax raising 40,0001. on the public, while they who opposed levied on coals a tax of ten sixpences to put in their own pockets." It is no doubt true, as the Worthy Alderman observes, that Lords London derry and Durham played the hypocrite on time occasion alluded to very ably, which is a proof that hypocrisy is by no means monopolised by Methodiscd Parsons. It is very wrong, no doubt, to affect great regret for the sufferings of the poor, when the only regret really felt was, that they could not add a little more to these sufferings. But our indignation is somewhat mitigated by the , consideration that hypocrisy is better than force, and that it is a sort of ac knowledgment of your importance when people - take the trouble of playing the hypocrite before you ; for it is only when force is not safe, that another way is had recourse to. When an Arch bishop of Cologne, in former days, built a castle, and was asked how he meant to keep it up, as he had no lands near it, he frankly observed, he could be at no loss, as there were four highways close to it ; meaning that it was favourably situ ated for highway robbery. An Archbishop, in the present day, would be under the necessity of pretending a strong regard for religion, study ing carefully every word and justure used in public, And slily watching his opportunity for smuggling Bills through Parliament, for getting hold of sinecures in spite of the recommenda tion of Parliamentary Committees. Pope Leo X. laughed 40y at his own trade. A Pope in the preient. day is as circumspect as a Fenelon. Before ever -our most gracious Sovereign can build or pull down a palace, two or three Minis ters, one after another, are obliged to come for ward with plausibly invented stories, of which they best know themselves how much ought to be taken for gospel, to prevent the impatience the people would feel, if the truth were to come too abruptly across them. It would be a great deal better, no doubt, if men would always do what is right ; but when they are determined to 'do wrong, hypocrisy is on the whole better than tyranny.—Morning Chronicle. Our readers will find, in another column, an article extracted from the Brighton Guardian of yesterJay, on a subject of vital importance to the people of this country—namely, the oppres sion suffered by them from the want of well or ganized local Courts. The text which supplies our Brighton contemporary with food for his comments, is a case of contract between a coach man, and a young woman, a green-grocer, whe ther walnuts sold for 11., and delivered, were or were not according to sample. Tilt parties live -at Brighton, and the County, Court is held, we liselieve, at Lewes. The trial took place regu larly on the Sth October, 1829, when the plain tiff gained, and his attorney's bill of. costs amounted to 411. ls. There was, however, taxed off 121. Rs. 6d., still leaving to the de fendant to pay 291. 7s. 6d., besides her own aliorney's bill of costs. In the speech with which Mr. Brougham intisssissced his motion for Law Reform, lie says—" In py mind, he was guilty of no error, he was charge4lo with no exaggeration, he was betrayed by his fancy into - no metaphor, who once said that all we see above us, King, Lords, and Commons, the whole machinery of the State, all the apparatus of the system, and its varied workings, end in simply bringing twelve good men into a box." s o that Kings, Ministers, and Bishops—all the showy and most expensive apparatus, for the fake of which twenty millions:of - industrious P eople are so beatnifully exploited (e.rgoit6:), to use an expressive French word, has only for its object to obtain for such persons as Mellish, the coachman of Brighton, the performance of ccntracts with individuals in their own rank of life. The machinery is certainly very operose and clumsy. And yet who, without being told that this was the end and object of all the ma chinery by so great an authority as Mr. Brougham, would ever have arrived at such a conclusion, from what he witnesses in this coun- try ? If asked why Kings were appointed, he would naturaAy say to build and pull down palaces, to hold levees, to distribute courtesies in such a way between the ins and the outs, that the one shall never be too confident, and the other never too despondent, &c. If asked why Ministers were appointed, he would say to ob tain money for Kings and Placemen. If asked why Bishops were appointed, he would say to keep up palaces for themselves, and bestow rich livings on their sons, and the husbands of their daughters. If asked why Judges were appointed, he would say because they were become too old and too lazy for toiling at the bar, and wished to pass the evening of heir days comfortably on the Bench. If asked why Magistrates were ap pointed, he would say that 'Squires, when living in the country and not more pleasantly engaged, may have something to do, and he enabled to preserve their game by punishing poachers. But it would be a long time before he stumbled on the discovery that the end of all this was the protection of the persons and property of the people. No—the only part of the whole that is neglected is that part for which all is contrived. It is like as if an expensive water-mill should be constructed, but no water-course should be made, and consequently no grinding should take place. Beautiful machinery welave, indeed, of great benefit to those who have the care of it, but only to them. The wants of the people are the only wants which have not been attended to. Far are we from saying that the business of go verning is a light one. It is, indeed, no easy matter to keep peace amongst the various per sons employed in the management of this costly machinery ; for though the benefit of those for whom the machinery is constructed is kept out of view, and the only persons who benefit are the employh themselves, yet to adjust the share of loaves and fishes in such a way as to satisfy all parties is a difficult matter. Hence Legislatures have long sittings and stormy debates—hence intrigues are constantly forming—hence Mini sters are made and unmade—hence Tories take the place of Whigs, and Whigs the place of Tories. The science of governing, without attending to the end of Government, is not the less a perplexing and difficult science on that account. This, however, is certain that no part of the difficulty is occasioned by any attention being bestowed on the end of Government. — During the days when the end was a little at tended to, that is, in the long Parliament time, when the King and House of Lords and Bishops were disposed of in a very unceremo nious way, the idea of bringing justice home to the door of every man occupied occasionally the thoughts of the Legislature. But ever since the people were relieved of the trouble of self-go vernment, it is astonishing, amidst all our diffi culties, how little difficulty there has been in staving of all attempts to obtain Courts for the people. In the last number of the Westminster Review there is an article on Law Reform, in which there is only the slight oversight, that in a country in which so much money is required fir other ends than the good of the people, money cannot be afforded for Local Courts.— Had the Reviewer lamented the disappearance of cassocks, the rarity of shovel-hats, and proposed a tax of a million or two to gladden the eye sight of Lords with a hundred or two additional church steeples, his recommendation would have been sure of due attention. But to wander from the machinery to the object of it is as ill-timed as the recommendations of Wick liffe or Huss, in an age when the smell of burning Heretics ascended sweetly to Hea ven. Mr. Bentham, according to this article, " proposes the establishment of Judge-shires, or districts, to form, as nearly as possible, a square, equidistant, and of similar size ; the scat of justice as nearly as may be in the centre of each ; the Court to sit six hours a-day, and, from its adjacency, to allow to the suitor the facility of reaching it, dispatching his business there, and returning home to sleep. A radius of twelve miles would be enough for all this ; and one hundred and twenty-five Courts or thereabouts would suffice for England and Wales. But as the population of cities and towns is en titled to consideration, seventy-five other Courts would amply provide for these." To these Courts Mr. Bentham would commit all suits whatever (military and ecclesiastical excepted). Herald. To the details or this project we regret not to be able to give the spce they demand. They will be found in a work now passing through the Press, to which we must refer our readers. Mr. Bentham says (p. 63), " The County Courts ought to be diligently reformed—their process extended to matters of large amount and of greater variety—their officers rendered more able and effective. The remedy is well intended, and intended, doubtless, to forward the ends of those who originated the County Courts' Bill' a few years ago ; but it is wholly inadequate, its benefit small, its expellees enormous ; and, by its expence alone, likely to have thwarted any more e,xtensive reform, for it proposes to allow the continuance of all the existing judicial ma chinery, to the charges of which, enormous as they are, it would have added its own. Both logically and locally considered, the County Court plan is in every respect inferior to the Departmental Judicatures constituted by the Napoleon Code." Can anything be more op pressive in the working than the existing County Courts, as exeliiplified in the 401. plaintiff's bill for a one-pound ,contract ? But who cares for the people in England—and who ever will care for them, in a country in which it is the height of imprudence to appear to take any interest, however slight, in their welfare? Occasionally, even in a canting and hypocritical country like this, an individual no doubt wili h,e found who, from indiarence to the ordinary objects am bition, and the acpidental determination of his inquiries to the good of his fellow-creatures, may oectlpy himself with speculations of which the object is the advantage of the people. But even such an individual dreads nothing so much as to he known fora man who has any other than sel fish and vulgar aims. p_e k nows that. his only chance of being able to do good iptit depend on his objects not being too clearly revealed', a,r4 that ;numbers of the very people whose goods he seeks, from the ignorance and prejudice insepa rable from their degraded condition, ssould be among - the first to tear him to piesea if set on by their eneinies.—Thid. Certain paragraphs, by way offeders, are, we see, putting forth by the Press, relative to re placing Mr. Peel in his seat for Oxford. That there bre certain persons in both the Universities who know the value of having a Minister of State for their Representative cannot be doubted. Of the good - things which Lord Lyndhurst has showered upon his former constituents is an un answerable proof. Some of the paragraphs in qu2stion go the length of saying that Sir Robert Inglis is to resign his seat to make way for the return of Mr. Peel. In this we cannot believe that there is one word of truth, or the least sha dow of foundation. None but a corrupt motive (and that, we are sure, cannot for a moment be imputed) could induce Sir Robert Inglis, we should suppose, to resign an honour so gallantly and so decidedly won. Sir Robert Inglis may possibly partake of the infirmities of other men ; but nothing, we suppose, short of a Deanery or a Bishopric for some very near and dear con nection, would induce him, or any other man, to relinquish such a prize as that which he has so unexpectedly and honourably obtained. Has the measure for which Mr. Peel abandoned all the principles of his early life brought with it that " healing on its wings" which we are taught to expect ? In short, are the University, or their late Member, proved to have been in the light ? Let the present state of Ireland answer. It; then, the University has nothing to upbraid itself with on the score of political sagacity and foresight, or on behalf of those principles which it was especially bound and called upon to main tain, what silly, what damning inconsistency would it not speak, to retrace, without reason, the step which it so manfully and consistently has taken ? Nor would it become Mr. Peel, we should think, to attempt to place his Alma Mater in such a dilemma. To be sure, to see oneself transformed from the high station of Representative of one the most learned and cele brated bodies in the world, to be a Jew's nomi nee at Westbury, is mortifying enough ; but as Junius said of Sir William Draper, " if Mr. Peel's be a bed of thorns, he has made it for himself ;" and we doubt whether it can be now remade but at an expense of honour and con sistency which no man should impose upon others. To be sure the Vice-Chancellor has made a Latin oration in honour of Mr. Peel; and Dr. Copleston, who wrote him into his cur rency principles, will, perhaps, now write him out of them again ; but nothing, we should say, can or ought to be done (especially in the way of compromise, behind the backs of the non resident members) to involve the University of OxfOrd in the double dilemma of retracting a solemn judgment, and that, apparently, for the sole purpose of having a giver of Church Pre ferment for their Representative.—Morning We inserted in our Paper of yesterday seve ral documents, or rather memorials of the discon tent which exists at the present moment in the Indian army ; and the first observation which we mean to make upon them is, that the Directors of the East India Company never adopted a pro ceeding more truly impolitic in all its bearings — more uncalled for, or more likely to gratify those who would delight in seeing its empire at an end, than that of reducing the pay of its military servants, and thereby exciting discontent in the very quarter where discontent is truly and greatly dangerous. The Company, to speak the truth of it,cannot, indeed, be charged in its general conduct, either - nitt being aixel taskmaster, or a niggardly paymaster. It has uniformly re warded its servants handsomely, and it has been repaid by an affection and loyalty, and good service, on their part, which, considering the dis tance of the seat of government from the seat of actual rule and management, has no parallel in the annals of history. The system was good and worked well ; and we cannot really account for the hallucination with which the Directors have been visited in attempt ing to change it. " Our empire in India," as Lord Hastings most truly remarked in our own hearing, " is an empire of opinion ;" and nothing, in consequence, can be more impolitic than to expose its extreme fragility to such dangerous contact as that of a collision between the civil and military power-- between the power which controuls, and that which actually maintains our supremacy in the East. The sums, we readily allow, which are paid by the East India Company to its civil and military servants in the East appear enormous, and out of all proportion, when compared with those which are paid here ; but it ought to be remembered that every one who enters the service of the Company in the East, does so, not only at the expence of leaving behind him relatives, friends, and connections, but, from the unfavour able nature of the climate, at the risk of his life —that the health of all Europeans is more or less injured by a long residence in an Indian climate —and that those who thrive best, and survive their time of service, return to their native country with at least ten or fifteen years of shorter life than they would otherwise have en joyed—and that that life, from the breaking up of old habits, friendships, and connections, is by no means the most delightful. And are not these grounds for the awarding of greater emo luments and indulgences to the officers of the East India Company than to those in any other service? And is it not unjust and cruel first to entice men into such service by offers of liberal reward, and then to turn round and cut short their allowances ? We shall not indulge in the remarks which, under other circumstances, we should be inclined to make ; for we are confi dent th4t, when the Court of Directors come to revise their proceedings, they will rescind them at once as unjust and impolitic. The army in India, or rather the officers of that army, is their tower of strength ; and it would be much better for them to resign their empire at once than to give such just ground of discontent to those who can maintain, lime, or seize it, as may suit their interests and inclinations, as they have now done.—Morning Advertiser.

These sessions commenced yesterday morning, before FRANCIS CON,ST, Esq., and a full bench of Magistrates. Robert Shoohridge was indicted for assaulting James Bland, Esq., his master. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, who was then sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment in the House of Correction. Elizabeth Lovell was charged with keeping a brothel in James-street, Oxenden-street. Mary Ann Crudale, a modest, pretty-looking girl, was servant at 5, Oxenden-street. On the 21st of August she was going for the supper-beer, about nine o'clock in the evening, and when passing the house in question, she was accosted by two men, who invited her into the house. She desired them to go about their business, and one of them replied that she bad better walk on by fair means lather than foul. They then caught hold of her, and dragged her forcibly into the passage of the house. Alice Booth and Mary Nevi!le, both common pro stitutes, proved having taken men to the house, where they saw the defendant, and paid her for the accom modation received. _ Mr. PIIILLIPS made a powerful appeal to the jury on behalf of the defendant. _ The CHAIRMAN, in summing up, expressed a doubt as to whether the proof of her having had the care and management of the house was sufficiently made out to bring her within the scope of the Act of Parliament. The Jury, after some hesitation, returned a ver dict of Not Guilty. Batson, the alleged proprietor of the house, was included in the indictment, but did not appear. On the motion of Mr. Alley, a Bench warrant was issued against him, with orders for his giving 48 hours' notice of bail. Jane Atkins, a wretched-looking old woman, \Vat charged with stealing four pewter beer-pot', the property of as many different licensed victuallers.— Verdict—Guilty. The CHAIRMAN then sentenced her to three months' imprisonMent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Dunsby, the foreman of Farringdon-within Ward, appeared before the LORD MAYOR, in order to complain to his Lordship that there was still to be had in IQewgate-tnarket abundance of diseased meat. The LORD MAYOR expressed his regret, that after all the efforts that had been made to prevent the sale of bad meat, there should be facilities of dis posing of it. Mr. Dunsby said it was well known that an ar rangement had been made between his Lordship and the butchers and salesmen of Newgate-market, that if Mr. Fisher, the clerk of the market, was appoint ed inspector of the meat, they (the butchers and salesmen) would, if any unwholesome meat should be sent into the market, send for him to seize and condemn it. Notwithstanding this arrangement, bad meat was collates' ly to be seen in the market. One case he should most particularly call his Lordship's attention to. On the 13th of October the steward of Lord George Cavendish sent to Messrs. Challis and Harris, the salesmen, the body of a diseased cow, with directions to sell it. The salesmen, upon seeing the condition of the cow, would not, under any circumstances, perform the sale, and desired that it should be removed from their premises. The cow was removed . and taken to an inn-yard, and Lens down, the sausage-maker, }ming heard where he could be accommodated with what he usually sought for, went to the spot and immediately purchased the dainty at one penny per pound. Now this pro ceeding upon the part of the salesmen was directly in the teesti.ofssthe contract, which went to the•de struction of the bad meat, instead of winking at the sale of it. Thus were the exertions of the inquest in favour of the public made completely nugatory. If the Lord Mayor did not oppose such conduct on the part of the salesmen, the sausage-makers would be as busy as ever in dishing up filthy food for the public. The LORD MAYOR sent for one of the salesmen who were complained of, and Mr. Harris appeared to make an explanation. He stated, that he and his partner had given directions to their men not to take in unwholesome meat, on any account, for sale. This had been done. Mr. Dunsby said that was by no means sufficient. The salesmen must assist in protecting the public, by sending for the clerk of the market, whenever they saw any bad meat in the market. The neces sary vigilance had not been observed ; on the con trary, the greatest remissness had taken place. Mr. Harris said that neither he norhis partner had been present when the cow was offered to them. If he had been present, he would have ordered the I clerk of the market to be sent for. The LORD MAYOR said the filthy evil complained of might be easily got rid of by co-operation; and he trusted that there would be no disinclination upon the part of the salesmen to put a stop to the trade in diseased meat. Adams, one of Messrs. Challis and Harris's men, stated that he was in the market when the cow was offered, and he ordered it to be taken away as a " wet 'un." Mr. Dunsby said his office would soon be at an end; but while he remained in it, he should most scrupulously protect the public. The LORD MAYOR commended his zeal, and hoped that the sale of bad meat would immediately be abandoned. GUILDHALL. James Hayes, a respectable looking man, about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Alderman ATKINS yesterday, charged with stealing a piece of Gros de Naples, from the premises of Mr. Curia, a silk-manufacturer,No. 47, Church-street, Spitalfields. Mr. Hobler, jun., attended on behalf of the pro secutor, and Mr. Isaacs for the prisoner. Mr. Lewis Curia stated that he had known the prisoner about five years, and that two years and a half ago he entered into an agreement with him to become his (Mr._ Curia's) agent for seven years ; but about six months ago the prisoner took the agreement away from him, having got him to sign something written on the back of the instrument, which he understood to be a form of cancelling; ne vertheless, the prisoner had continued to act as his agent in the same manner, and on the same terms as while the agreement was subsisting. Ile could not read to understand (being a native of France) what he signed. On Monday the prisoner came to the warehouse and took away the piece of Bros de Naples although witness told him he would not assent to his doing so. He said to him " I will not have it taken." The prisoner replied " Well, 1 shall take it," and witness then called a stranger down stairs to see that he WEti taking it without his consent. Mr. Alderman ATKINS said, that to save time he would put his finger on a point as they went along. As an agent, and acting under the agreement, he might legally do that, the doing of which was now charged against him as a crime. After some desultory conversation, another case was entered into, without positively deciding that the first could not be entertained. Henman,a constable of Cripplegate-within, stated that while conveying the prisoner to the Compter, he complained of having been ill used by the prose cutor. Being confined under a false arrest, he said ha transferred his property to Mr. Curia, who, with out his consent, disposed of and pawned_ . a part of it. He had obtained the duplicates, and redeemed what he could, but the prosecutor was considerably in debt to him. At the Compter witness called upon him to surrender all the money he bad about him, and he produced 1111. lie declared he had no other money, but witness searching him closely, found a 2001. note sewed up in the lining of his trousers, and when asked why he concealed it i" this manner, he said he chose to be his own banker, , anti had secreted it for security. Witness was pre sent when a warehouse in Addle-street, Wood , street, which the prisoner had taken in the num of " William" Hayes, was searched by Mr. Curls and Mr. Sawyer, (of the firm of Sawyer and Hall, of Aldermanbury), who had given the prosecutor credit to a large amount, and suspected he might discover some of the goods there. A vast quantity of silk goods had been found, which witness had been desired to hold possession of, on the behalf of Mr. Chris's creditors. Some books, papers, and bills of exchange, wanting only the endorsement to become negotiable, were also found at the pri soner's. The prisoner had formerly been in busi ness in Gutter-lane. Mr. Alderman ATKINS asked if Mr. Sawyer had discovered his property. Mr. Sawyer said there was some which he had little doubt of, but having been dyed he could not swear to it now. Mr. Alderman ATKINS inquired whether he mean to say the property had been fraudulently obtained from him, or merely in the regular way of dealing. Mr. Sawyer said, in the regular course of deal ing, certainly. The Alderman observed that under such circum stances it was not in his power to assist him. The avidity to do business, and the superabundance of the supply, unhappily led many tradesmen to mis place their confidence. Mr. Hobler begged that the prisoner might be remanded. Henman, the constable, intimated that something would result, probably, from what he had heard, if he were allowed a little time to trace the 2001. note he hdd found on the prisoner. Mr. Isaacs pressed for the release of his client, but the Alderman remanded him till the following day (this day.) BOW-STREEL A poor half-starved young man, who said his name was William Crook, was yesterday brought before Mr: HALLS, in custody of one of the new police, by whom he was charged with having created a disturbance near St. Giles's workhouse, on the evening of Wednesday. The patrol stated that he was on duty near St. Giles's workhouse, on the above evening, when he was directed by Mr. Nangle, one of the overseers to remove the prisoner. Upon telling him to move on, he said he was waiting to see Mr. Nangle, who had refused to take him into the workhouse, al though St. Giles's was his legal parish. He (the witness) then told him that he must not stand there, and t'ien the prisoner said that he wished to be taken into custody, as he had nowhere to lie down but in the streets. Mr. HALLS said that Mr. Nangle ought to have given his directions to one of the parish-officers to remove the prisoner. The police constables, he conceived, might employ themselves much more usefully than by interfering in parish matters. Here was a miserable creature turned out at night from the workhouse, and being desirous to press his claim upon the overseer, that person, in order to get rid of the annoyance, charges him with a dis turbance, and orders him to be taken into custody. He (Mr. Halls) was at a loss to know why the of ficers of this parish had lately adopted the practice of refusing to admit paupers into the workhouse. — They were in the habit, it seems, of supplying the poor creatures who applied to them for relief with a portion of bread and cheese, and having done so, they order them to leave the workhouse, intimating that they might find a bed where they could. Now however convenient this practice might prove to the parish, it was not the legal way to dispose of pau pers, not to mention the inhumanity of turning poor creatures into the streets to be punished in the morning • for an act of vagrancy. Five miserable beings were brought before him (Mr. Halls) on the previous day, having been found by the police sleep big in the streets on the preceding night. They all declared tha they belonged to St. Giles's parish, and havingen refused admission to the work house, they were forced to lie down where they could. Under such circumstances, he (Mr. IIalls) could not find it in his conscience to send the poor creatures to prison as vagrants, but directed the offi cer to take them at once to St. Giles's, and repre sent to the parish officers, in his name, the manner in which they had been apprehended, and suggest ing the propriety of taking them at once into the workhouse, provided they really had claims upon the parish. It appeared that instead of finding the relief which they sought, the five unhappy beings were once more driven from the workhouse, with a small portion of bread and cheese to relieve their immediate want. Mr. HALLS told the prisoner he was discharged and directed him to apply to Sr. Giles's workhouse: UNION-HALL Yesterday three coal-porters, in the employment of the proprietor of the Devonshire coal-wharf, Bankside, were brought before Mr. HONE, charged with having threatened the life of Everstone, one of the Surrey labouring coal-meters. Mr. Adolphus attended ~ on behalf of the de fendants. Mr. Turquand, one of the principal coal -meters, stated that the complainant was one of their most active men, and had rendered himself particularly obnoxious to many persons engaged in the coal trade, in consequence of his having been a principal witness against many of those following the business against whom charges of fraud were proved. Owing to that circumstance, Elverstone's situation had be come hazardous; he was constantly obstructed in the execution of his duty, by the coal-porters of the different wharfs along the water side, who assailed him as he went along with abuse of the most low and vulgar description. It was impossible, therefore, added Mr. Turquand, for this man to do his duty if a stop were not put to those proceedings ; and, as an example, the three defendants were selected as the ringleaders of the party. The complainant then stated, that on Monday last as he was passing the Devonshire Coal Wharf, Bankside, the moment he was observed by the coal porters, they ceased work, and set up a shout after him, and amongst other names called him " Yellow Belly," which term, amongst them,, denoted an in former. The defendants, who were prominent on the occasion, exerted their lungs to the utmost stretch, and mingled amongst their cries a scanda lous epithet, which no man was justified in applying to another. He added, that one of the defendants had a short time previously threatened to knock his head off his shoulders, on witness directing him to shoot a sack of coals which he suspected was short of measure. Mr. HONE asked the coal-meter whether he could undertake to swear that he apprehended danger from the threats of those men, and that if he could, he should have the protection of the law ?—The complainant went in bodily fear of the men. Mr. Adolphus contended that no case whatever was proved against the defendants which would justify the Magistrate in holding them to bail. Mr. HONE observed that the meter had sworn he went in personal danger of the defendants, and he should therefore make them find sureties to keep the peace. After some further discussion between the Ma gistrate and the Learned Counsel, the latter strongly contending that his clients had committed no offence in law, the defendants were held to bail, Mr. El lard, one of the county Magistrates, perfectly con curring in the deciden, THE RIVAL FIRE KINGS.--A Curious onn from the a t r h t e o g f a a scene occurred at the Argyll Rooms yesterday, during the performances ,who was also l dr e er r ea y f p iai t to t ,d d a i n cl d r lsmv o c h f b h o l‘ a l t l in l , .c aa n sn C g ; e: e d i e A nn l a t h m E e e;p: b e Li r t f i A a o n r zg t: P na e e t r n o v o :7 it6ehapei.

At length the challenger and his friend descended to the floor, and LAZARUS professed to be ready to take any poison•, and undergo any experiments of heat attempted by M.

The friend of LAamtus declared that he would exhibit at the West End of London, in order to convince the public that he possessed the secret. • • MADNESS IN DOGS. r The following observations on rabies are We by Mr. Hertwich, Professor at the Vetq:i na d, School at Berlin, in a work which he has re cen t* published. Their extension may be useful :......' " The two different forms of rabies, thi o ne of which Dr. Hufeland calls the acute or fie* oe , and the other the chronic or quiet rabies, are i lo t two, distinct diseases ; for inoculation from ao a nino! affected with the one was frequently observed to produce the other. In the acute rabiea, the doe are observed to change their manners, and to be' come either more lively and irritable, or m ore lazy and morose.; they generally become of veil changeable temper, and are, at times, s eized with restlessness, which forces them to riot about ; most of them know and obey their master until a very short time before death. At the' commencement of the disease the animals A° show a great desire to lick cold things. They lose their appetite, especially for solid food, but. frequently eat wood, turf, straw, or their fceee s ,;, this symptom is very characteristic, and the COr tents of the stomach in the post-nzortent exam s nations of dogs are of the greatest importance r 9 determine whether there has been rabies or 1 0 No rabid dog shows a dread of water at all period of the disease ; they drink, lick, a nd br hold it, without any dislike, and sometimes et hibit even a great avidity for it, although thel often have some difficulty in swallowing it, of a ccount of the swelling in the throat ; there ' also no dread of light, nor any dislike on lookin% at shining surfaces, or being exposed to a c ur : rent of air. They are very costive, f or som" period, at least. The most important and co" stant sympton is a peculiar change in the voice; and in the manner of barking ; the sounds emits: are either higher or deeper than usual—rour hoarse, disagreeable, and indicative of distrel t ! The bark does not consist of repeated tioir, terrupted sounds, but the first bark goes iT, a sort of short howl, so that it is neither a h$T ; • ing nor continued howling, but between b otP A during it, the mouth is lifted up, as in dcr who are made to howl by music. This ch oll . o of the bark is very easily recognised after ha` been once heard, and is considered as p 3 “73 gnomonic. Phlegmatic dogs, when affec t : , with rabies, hardly ever show an increased de Ta of biting ; but irritable snappish dogs are set t with a real fury, in which they attack $ ll . , kill every animal which they can get Pr. and destroy and bite at every thing near the sometimes, even, they lacerate their own bads It appears that their rage for biting is first!, rected against cats, and lastly against men. 1 1 ' generally bite without any previous barking A , growling, and the bite mostly consists of a 611 ; den snapping and tearing of the teeth ; if s n ii ) ther dog comes near them, they smell -at- i .,,, e mouth, and at the same wag with the tail, be' they snap at him ; they also often snap a ts j air, as if it were to catch flies. The extol'. appearance is but little changed on the first d s . jr on the second, the eyes become injected , r o e so mewhat irritable, by strong light ; the sk } a the head is corrugated, and they look as ifyi wer e morose and drowsy : at a still later pePj the eyes become lifeless , and turbid, as if coql with sand ; the whole face, or part of it, ° r , tongue, swells ; they become greatly e tnaeiv' of and their coat is rough. As long as theyA not quite exhausted, they carry the tail to':; 1 0 upwards ; at the least degree of debility, it bel f down ; the mouth is rather dry, and hardlYLp covered with foam ; the hind legs are weak the beginning of the disease, and always bee" paralysed before death. In quiet rabies animals are never restless, but become dejec7i very tranquil, and sad. The most impor t , and characteristic symptom consists in the ltr_ . jaw hanging down, as if its muscles were n lysed. This depends not, as has been aase sc lid upon a spasmodic contraction of the Ito r r io which draw down the lower jaw, but on s• 0 paralysis of those which close it; the loweri sp i is, at least without any difficulty, lifted OW kept in situ by very slight pressure. I S s at pens, however, frequently, that, when th e t o mal is irritated, it recovers for a 5 11 ° 4 r' its faculty of biting, of which, it app s iii however, to have no increased desire. „i 0 the above symptom the dogs are prevented 1701 swallowing : the saliva constantly flows O l d, the mouth, and the tongue is a little protrtw 0 The bark is changed •in the same manner 0 el fierce rabies, but is very seldom heard, mo s ei e the dogs emitting hardly ever any sound,.o. •-• i f when irrit a t e d. The other symptoms, e° o ' tion, loss of appetite, absence of real hydro bia, &c., are the same as in the other o p The duration of the disease is nearly eeltel both forms.

It pos sesses innumerable blessings for human kind, and produces an antidote for every disorder incident to the human frame.—This treasury, with all its invaluable riches, is the proper study of Medical Science ; and it requires the most laborious research to discover and develops all its various mysteries. For twenty years has our successful experience been directed to the treatment of a certain class of disorders, and we pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilis, from its in cipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterised by every doubt and whatever malignancy. The intricate and much-neglected diseases of the Urethra have been carefully and studiously considered, as have also those delicate and important sympathies which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of virility have been especially noticed, whether as arising from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmos phere—the natural bias of constitution—the imprudence of gaity--or the more alarming results of a propensity to practices " which shun the light ;" the progress of which is marked by a gradual dereliction of the animal powers. To all who are thus circumstanced, and more especially to such as are aspirants for connubial pleasures, we earnestly recommend our Commentaries, let, the " lEgis of Life," a commentary on Sexual Debility; 2d, " The Syphilist," a popular treatise on Lues Venerea, &c. ; and 3d, " Hy. geiana," exclusively addressed to Females ; the perusal of which must prove beneficial to their moral happiness.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR. —The Sugar Market continues firm and im proving ; the demand general and extensive ; the sales this week exceed 1,000 lihds. and tcs. each day ; the prices are gradually improving, though no marked advance since last Friday can be stated. The transactions in low goods are so extensive that all parcels are taken off freely when they appear on sale, and parcels to be ready in two or three weeks are also contracted for at the Market prices ; on account of the scarcity of low goods the buyers have taken large parcels of the better descriptions ; in prices there is little variation. Molasses steady. At the close of the Market to-day Refined goods may be stated 6d. to ls. per cwt. higher during this week. FOREIGN SUGAR.—.-By public sale the only parcel of white Havannah Sugar at this Market was offered, it con sisted of 1,060 chests, for which there was considerable competition ; middling white 465. a 48s. ; good 48s. 6d. a 495. 6d. ; the damaged, 140 chests, sold very low in proportion to the sound, 375. a 445. 6d. Another parcel of white Havannah may be expected on sale next week ; the stock of yellow is about 9,000 chests ; there is no variation in the prices of the latter ; no purchases reported. There were inquiries after good white Brazil and strong good browns, but our stock consists of only very soft qua lities, of which there have been no sales this week. EAST INDIA BUG AR. —There have been considerable inquiries for East India Sugars this week, but no exten sive sales. The Mauritius Sugar on Tuesday, 2,300 bags went off with much briskness at full prices. This day 834 bags Manilla, 470 bags Siam Sugar ; the latter good fair white sold 30s. a 315., damp 275. a 28s. 6d., the for mer good grey strong 30s. a 31s. CorFEE.—The public sales this week have been incon siderable, and, as the demand has been general and exten sive, the whole of the British Plantation sold at prices is. a 2s. higher. The great proportion of Jamaica offered this week was ordinary to good ordinary, which sold at the advance above stated. In consequence of the few public sales, there were more inquiries by private contract, and considerable parcels of East India Coffee are reported to have changed hands at a small advance. This day, at public sales, 2,838 bags East India, chiefly Sumatra, 340 casks 387 bags British Plantation, and 998 bags La Guayra. Jamaica Coffee again sold at a further advance of Is. a 2s. ; all the other Coffees are steady ; old fine ordinary La Guayra taken in, 345. 6d. offered ; good Che ribon sold at 355. 6d. I Sumatra sold 295. 6d. a 31s. 6d.

The steam-carriage has four wheels, and con tains, besides the engine, a seat for two persons, the one being the engineer, the other the steers man. The engine is upon the principle of high pres sure, and the piston works horizontally under the bed of the carriage. The motion is given by means of a crank attached to the axle of the hind wheels, and is so managed that the power may be communicated to one hind wheel exclu sively, or be extended equally to both if required. The mode of action is, therefore, thus far dif ferent from-that which governs an otainstyeftr riage, as, instead of being drawn forwards by a power in front, this machine is pushed forwards from behind by means of power impressed upon the axle of the hind wheels. The machine is steered by means of an hori zontal wheel fixed in front of the seat, and com municating with the axle of the fore-wheels in such manner that the carriage may be directed with greater precision than can any carriage drawn by horses under the direction of a coachman. The machine can be stopped instantly. The length of the machine is the same as that of a four-wheeled carriage without the pole, about ten feet ; so that, when a carriage with passen gers shall be affixed to it, the whole length of the two carriages taken together will not exceed the length of one four-wheeled carriage with one pair of horses. The friction of this upon the road will be that of a carriage with eight wheels, but it is pre sumed that the number of wheels may be easily reduced to six. This engine moved upon the turnpike-road up a hill of more than ordinary steepness, and round several turnings, for at least half an hour, at the rate of from eight to ten miles an hour. A barouche containing four people (of whom the writer of this article was one) was then at tached to it, and was drawn along with great fa cility, upon the same road, and round the same turnings, avoiding the steepness of the hill, at the same rate. The engine being of high pressure, and, there fore, expending its steam, necessarily consumes a large quantity of water and of fuel, and which renders a supply of water indispensable at every half hour, and a supply of coke at every hour, so that depots of each must be established at proportionate distances of four and eight, or five and ten, miles, according to the rate of speed to be determined upon. The noise of the steam-carriage, with the pas senger-carriage attached to it, is not so great as the noise of a travelling carriage with two horses. There is very little or no smoke from the burning of the coke. The eight wheels of the two carriages cause less dust than would a carriage with four wheels and two horses. The danger to be apprehended from an engine upon the principle of high pressure appears to be altogether obviated by the manner in which the boiler is made, not in one capacious cavity, but formed of a series of tubes communicating with each other. The expence at which this apparatus can be plied upon the road is stated not to amount to three-pence* per mile. It is evident that before this mode of convey ance can be brought into use for public conve nience, depots of water and coke must he esta blished at fixed stations along the line of road which it is intended to travel, and that its use must be confined to that line, and to that ex clusively. It should seem that each fresh supply of water and coke need not occupy above two minutes of time. One very serious difficulty will be opposed to the general use of this mode of conveyance, in the danger which will attend its unusual appear ance and rapid movements along a public road in frightening horses, both saddle and draught. Upon the whole the impression which this inspection has left upon my mind, and giving due weight to the many difficulties and accidents which must unavoidably attend the introduction a►►d first trials of such a novel and extraordinary vehicle, it certainly appears to me that it will eventually, and at no distant period, force itself into very extensive use ; and I do not see any other objections to it than such as may be over come by time, practice, and ingenuity. (Signed) J. W. G. Horse Guards, July 23, 1829. READING, 28TH JULY, 1829, HALF•PAST EIGHT O'CLOCK, A.M.—We left Cranford bridge at ten minutes after four o'clock this morning ; a light barouche, containing four per sons, attached to the steamer. We went on ra pidly, and without the slightest accident or diffi culty, till we arrived at Longford, where they are rebuilding the bridge over the Colne, about one mile and a half on the London side of Colnbrook. On the bridge is piled a large stack of bricks, so high as to impede the view from the nature of the road which winds up to the top of the bridge. Just as we arrived at this point, a broad wheeled waggon was approaching the bridge in the same direction as ourselves. In advance of the steamer was our advanced phaeton, and be hind the steamer a carriage containing our coke and some of the :engineers. At the moment our leading carriage had passed the waggon, the steamer following close, the mail from Bath ap peared on the top of the bridge coming on ra pidly. We called out to the coachman to pull up, but he, not being aware of the unusual car riage he was about to meet, kept on till we all • The distance between London and Southampton is about eighty miles, and the inside fare by coach is IL 12s.

The leaders o f the mail being high couraged, and their heads close to the steamer, bolted round, and broke the mail traces. Mr. Gurney, anxious to avoid mischief, forced the steamer up against the stack of bricks, by which he did some injury to the steamer, but of no conse quence beyond the delay of a quarter of an hour. The mail put on a new bar and traces, and we both Froceeded on our respective journeys. We have had no other accident whatever, but a fracture of the iron of one of the• wheels, and are going forward immediately. We came from Cranford Bridge to this place in four hours and ten minutes, including all stop pages for water, coke, turnpikes, &0., which of course, in our first attempt, cannot be expected to be managed with the celerity we may calculate upon hereafter. We met and passed on the road, between Cranford Bridge and this place, 21 carts, 7 waggons, 2 post chaises, 4 mail coaches, 7 stage ditto, 1 dray with two horses, a drove of cart horses, 3 gigs, 6 horses, of which I can assure you not one started, or was by any means dis turbed by the steamer, except the mail horses on the bridge at Longford. If it should be said that we endangered the mail, I beg to assure you that I have strictly re presented the facts, and I am convinced that a carriage with horses, in such circumstances, might have occasioned an equal, if not much more se rious mischief. The regular easy pace seems about ten miles an hour whilst moving. JULY 30, 1829.—0 n our arrival at Reading, at twenty minutes past eight o'clock, we were de tained two hours to have the iron, which had been broken off the wheel, repaired. To avoid the town, the steamer went on to a public-house, about a mile on the road, whi we waited for the iron. On our overtaking Mr.'Gurney, he had dis covered that two small chains, which are used for the expansive motion, were broken. We must attribute the fracture of the iron, as well as of these chains, to the violent shock the carriages sustained against the stack of bricks, in avoiding the mail on Longford-bridge. We started again, at half-past ten o'clock, from the public-house beyond Reading. We went steadily on from this time all the way to Melksham (about twelve miles this side of Bath), where we arrived, about eight o'clock in the evening, without any material alteration of pace, at the rate of about six miles an hour, including stoppages. _ _ It must be observed that our grand object was to accomplish our journey without accident to ourselves or to any passengers. We, therefore, were resolved to avoid all possibility of danger to any part of the steamer, by always having plenty of water ; we, therefore, made it a rule never to go above four miles without taking in water. In order to accomplish this, we stopped whenever we saw water near the road (though frequently at two or three miles only, and al though we were by no means in want of it) lest we might not find it again in time. There were altogether about eight gentlemen, and as many engineers and attendants. When we wanted water, we formed a lane (as at a fire), in some instances getting over the hedge to a pond in a field, and handing the buckets from one to another till the tank was full. We carry three buckets always with us. We were disappointed in not finding coke where we wanted it, and were obliged to go out of the road with the carriage in attendance, to fetch coal from a wharf near the forty-eighth mile-stone. No smoke whatever was visible whilst burn ing coke, but as soon as we used coal (which made an excellent fire) the smoke became visi ble, and would most certainly be objectionable on a public road. But when we got coke at New bury, no more smoke was visible till we got to Devizes. The coke we took in at Devizes was so bad that we could not get it to burn, but were again obliged to have recourse to coal. After this the smoke appeared again, and in Melksham, it beginning to grow darker, some sparks flew up the chimney, which made the ap pearance of a beautiful fire work. This would be highly objectionable and dangerous to thatch or hay stacks, but it can never happen with coke. The first five miles from Cranford-bridge to Colebrook (exclusive of fifteen minutes lost by our meeting the mail) we did, including three minutes taking in water at a pump, in twenty. five minutes ; we, therefore, travelled five miles in twenty-two minutes. At our quickest pace, the post horses were kept in a gallop, and when we stopped were in a white lather. The light phaeton could keep up very well, but the post carriage was so heavy, that the post-boys said no pair of horses could keep up, and we were obliged to take four all the rest of the journey for the post carriage in the rear. I was apprehensive the smoke would frighten horses ; but with the exception of one spirited little mare in a gig near Melksham, and the mail horses at Longford, I really did not see any ab solute start. On the whole, I should say, as an old cavalry officer, that I never saw so little notice paid by horses to common stages, as they showed to the steamer. When we were going the first five miles no thing could be easier, more free from noise, or any sort of objectionable inconvenience, and the movement so easy, that there was nothing to alarm any body. Nothing like the appearance of danger in a four-horse coach going the same pace. We got coke for twopence a bushel, at the retail price. We burnt very little more than half a bushel a mile, and should certainly never exceed half a bushel when all is perfect. The expence, therefore, of one hundred miles is only eight shillings and fourpence, exclusive of the wages to the engineers. I consider this first experiment decisive of success. On our arrival at Melksham there was a fair in the town, and the streets full of people. Mr. Gurney, who unites with extraordinary talent and great perseverance, the most amiable quali ties of mind and temper, fearing to injure any person, moved as slowly as possible ; unfortu nately, from some cause or other, the people here had taken a dislike to the steam-carriage, and ed too t k he pl c a a c r e_ after abusing us shamefully, attacked us with stones and flints ; and after having wounded the r:l:g.eriocCa)l7l,ard of a Mr. Iles (a brewer) and stoker and another wG it e ler n nn g et i yN n v e o e n r oo ft severely htihsinbk eisntognm men nt their arde - heads (the former being knocked out of the car riage into the ro eas a rd. d: is , ta a n v c i e o , let: e scuffle rqv h iiu e asg t iar w ebe e lde e i i l i tlso t ut t having obtained 'the Magistrates' assistance, placed constables ovei.4-4 during the night, and it was removed yesterday to Bath under their escort.

I have omitted to observe, that the loss of the expansion by the chains breaking, lessen ed our power one-third, and we travelled the whole Way on one wheel only; i. e. one wheel bolteo, to the axle. On Saturday, August Ist, after having ex amined every part of the carriage, and found no thing injured except what has been before stated, and having repaired the same, Mr. GUrney ran the steamer, with the baroucht attached to it, about two o'clock p.m. thwugh Pulteney-street, Laura Place, &c. &c., for about an hour, to as certain whether the machinery was perfect. .The whole wo r k e d t o a d m i rat i on, w i t h a b out halt the power of the engine ; she ran from about nine to eleven miles an hour. On Monday morning, the 3d of August (to avoid any repetition of the affair at Melksham), Mr. Gurney having moved the carriages during the middle of the preceding night by horses, till beyond, the town of Melksham, they arrived within six miles of Devizes. During this operation the movement was very slow and tedious, the steamer having the same barouche attached to it, and only attended by one post carriage with a pair of horses. The post boy appeared tired of the continual stopping, and tedious advance. At half-past six a.m. Mr. Gurney having got up the steam, he started ; and in order to get away from the manufacturing dis trict without any chance of further molestation, he laid on the full power of the engine. Such was the rapidity of the movement to Devizes, that the post-horses were completely blown, and in a white lather ; the post-boy declared " that instead of going slower with the steamer, as he had expected, they travelled at such a rate, he never had such hard work in his life as it was to keep up with them." - At the bottom of Devizes Hill, met the mail, and another coach, which stopped to witness their ascent to the top of the hill, which is re markably steep ; the steamer (with the barouche invariably attached to it) ascended the hill with out stopping, at the rate of from five to six miles an hour. On reaching the top the passengers on the top of the mail cheered, and both parties moved on respectively. At Devizes took in fresh coke, and were most kindly received by the inhabitants, particularly Mr. Burt, who rendered peculiar assistance both going and returning, which induced them not to hurry. They therefore proceeded from Devizes at about seven o'clock, at a steady pace to Marl borough, where they arrived without any re markable occurrence. Here they were also very kindly received, and great interest was expressed to know how the carriage would go up Marlborough-hill ; Mr. Gurney ordered the full power to be laid on the engines, and the carriage ascended to the top of the hill without stopping, at the rate of seven miles an hour. The people on foot were soon left behind, and those on horseback accompanied the steamer for several miles, showing great satisfac tion as they went along. The carriage came on through Hungerford, Newbury, &c., at a steady pace, to Reading, where they were met, before they entered the town, by the late Mayor and several other gentlemen on horseback and in car riages, who received them with the greatest civi lity, and accompanied them through the town, where the'y were greeted in a peculiar manner. Three persons got up behind, in addition to the usual number, making in the whole seven, and proceeded about three miles. Came on to Cranford Bridge steadily, where they arrived at a quarter-past five o'clock p.m.; thus making the distance of 82 miles (from six miles the Bath side of Devizes to Cranford Bridge), in eleven hours, including all stoppages. The whole journey was performed without the slightest accident or stoppage. It was observed by every person that no horse took any notice of the carriage the whole jour ney. Nothing perhaps can possibly convey so satisfactory a proof of the confidence of every person, both in the machinery and safety of the whole, as the fact that three of the engineers and two of the gentlemen fell into a sound sleep at different times during their homeward journey. The opinion of Mr. Gurney and all the engi neers is that the machinery is in better order from the work it had than it was at starting. As the proof of it, the journey from Devizes to Cran ford Bridge was made in four hours less time returning than it was going, and the carriage seemed to work with more ease the latter part of the journey. The heavy rain which fell during the afternoon drenched them completely, but made no sort of difference to the progress of the carriage. The rain which fell on the boiler and chimney made no appearance whatever of steam or vapour, which might have been expected. . - - f •_ t, 'tlL THE ARMY. A detachment of the Rifie Brigade arrived in London yesterday morning from Scotland, on route to Devonport. A detachment of the 55th Regiment of Infantry is ordered to embark this morning at the Tower stairs, on board a steam packet, for Gravesend, on route to Chatham. A detachment of the 87th Foot will embark this morn ing at the Tower stairs, on board a steam-boat, for Sheer ness. A troop of the 6th Regiment of Dragoon Guards has been ordered from Dorchester to Christ Church, on Coast Duty. A detachment belonging to the 4th Regiment of In fantry, arrived in town on Thursday, from Glasgow, on route to Fort Pitt, at Chatham. A detachment belonging to the 2d battalion of the 60th Rifle corps, arrived in town on Thursday from Glasgow on route to Portsmouth. GALWAY, Ave. 31.—Yesterday morning, about half past eleven, the Commander of the Forces of Ireland, ar rived, and was met by Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, who commenced the inspection of the corps stationed at this place, the 75th Regiment. At two o'clock be visited the dinners of the men; the regularity of which, and system of messing, he commended in high terms of praise. At half-past four the whole battalion turned out in full review order, in the square of the town ; and after marching past, went through many battalion and light in fantry movements with great steadiness and precision. It then formed into square; after which the Commander of the Forces expressed his high approbation of the appear ance of this very fine regiment, and immediately left the ground. The day was remarkably fine, and the assem blage was not only very numerous, but highly respectable. In the evening the Officers of the 75th regiment entertain ed the Judges on the Circuit and a large party to dinner, which General Sir John Byng honoured with his com pany. We regret to hear that this regiment is under orders to march. TWENTY-FIFTH REGlMENT.—Yesternight the first di vision of this gallant regiment, which acquired a high cha racter for steadiness and discipline in this city, while quar tered here about two years ago, debarked at Newhaven from the Velocity steamer from Aberdeen. It was nine o'clock at night before the detachment marched into the Castle ; and during its progress through the streets, the populace, attracted by the sound of the drums, received it with loud and reiterated cbeers, as the old Edinburgh regiment. The officers whointived yesternight are Major Chambers, Captain Sweelyy, Lieutenant Sweeny, and Ensign Reid. The second division will wive on Friday, by the same mode of conveyance, and the detachment from Braemar on Saturday, by land. Yesterday morning a party of 'the 78th Highlanders left the Castle to occu p y that remote station. —Edinburgh Observer, Sept. I. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1829. The next accounts from the theatre of war are looked for with impatience, notwithstanding the submission of the PORTE to terms which a month before it had rejected with its proverbial arrogance. Ambassadors, we are told, had been named to proceed to the head -quarters of the Russian General to treat for peace. If their motions prove as tardy as the progress of Turkish diplomacy, we suspect that General DIEBITSCH will spare them a long journey, for his advanced guard was at Kirk-kilissa on the 6th of August, and the main army was in motion for the capital, The question then comes, whether the Russian General, having so far overcome all resistance, would stop short of the goal of his master's am bition, when almost within sight of the towers of St. Sophia—or proceed—the more especially, as the SULTAN himself expressed a (prophetic) wish to have the conferences for peace at Con stantinople ? We think he would find excuses , because he possessed the power, for fixing his head-quarters in the capital. It is evidently with this view that a descent had been made at Inaida by the division which we presume left Sebastopol originally for Bourgas. The position of Inaida s only 80 miles from Constantinople—command ing the nearest, indeed the only, road along the coast to the forts of the Bosphorus—and we shall not be surprised to hear by the next accounts that the Russian fleet have landed another division at Phillen, which is about half way between Inaida and Constantinople—in order to facilitate the progress of the land force by keeping the Turkish troops in alarm, and dividing their force by perplexity and fear. The advance on the capital will thus be accomplished by two armies possessing the roads along the coast—Kirk-kilissa, and that diverging from Kirk-kilissa by Bourgas. Possessing all these advantages, and the complete command of the Black Sea—if General DIEBTTSCH refrain from grasping a prize so tempting, and almost within his reach, we think he will show more forbearance than usually falls to the lot of con querors in situations so captivating. He may. We think he will not : we arc sure we would not. German Papers have been received : they state that Wallachia is still suffering under the visitation of the plague, as also of some myriad flights of locusts. The Nurenzburg Corre spondent observes—" Letters from the frontiers of Italy, of the 19th of August, say that the opening of the free port of Venice is expected to take place on the Ist of October next. It may be conjectured that Venice will obtain a great share in the carrying trade to and from the Levant, which has hitherto passed through Trieste. This will be particularly the case with the trade in the Netherlands' woollen cloths, which since the Greeks have been reduced to poverty is almost wholly in the hands of the Armenians. Several ships of war are fitting out at Venice, probably to reinforce the Austrian squadron employed against Morocco."—The fol lowing are extracts : FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, Auc. 7.—A new scourge has, within these few days, threatened our province.— According to an official account from Fockschany, the district of Rimnik, and the country about Ibrailow, have suffered for the last week by the ravages of swarms of 10.. custs, which come from Moldavia, and gradually spread themselves towards the Danube. The President has issued the most urgent orders for the extirpation of this plague; and the Divan is enjoined to have them punctually exe cuted. Some days before the arrival of the locusts, the district of Rinanik was visited also by a dreadful hail storm, in which many cattle, and even some men, lost their lives. The plague, Which, as the weather grew warmer, made greater progress ' and, for a fortnight, car ried off between 40 and 50 .persons daily, has been less fatal for a few days past, the deaths being seldom more than five or six in a day. Nevertheless, the number of per sons infected, and of suspicious cases, is still very great. Measures have now been taken to preserve the hay in ma gazines. The two principalities are to have 48 magazines, in which provisions of all kinds are to be deposited. The Commissariat in Jassy has concluded with a merchant from the Buckowina, a contract for 30,000 chetwerts of oats and 5,000 chetwerts of flour ; and the Commissariat in Bucharest is said to have orders to send 70,000 chet werts of flour and oats from Moldavia and Wallachia to Tournoul, whence these supplies will be sent to their far ther destination. ODESSA, AUG. 10.-The Board of Health has enjoined all the inhabitants to confine themselves to their houses. Only the masters of families are allowed to go to the mar kets, each attended by a servant. On the same day notice was given, that in the village of Little Ku jalnik, near Yssatavy Khertova (a village previonsly infected) three persons bad died of the plague, and thnt in the same place there arc four other persons attacked by the disorder. This village, being out of the district already insulated, has been surrounded by a cor don of Cossacks. Though the sanitary state of the port continues to be satisfactory, it has nevertheless been re solved to send away the merchantmen that have been freighted by the crown. They are to go to other ports to take in their cargoes, as there is danger at Odessa under present circumstances. (Some Berlin papers say that Jussuf Paella resides at present in a beautiful country house, five wersts from Odessa, on the shore of the Black Sea, the same that was inhabited last year by her Majesty the Empress.) FRANKFORT, AUG. 29.—Our journals contain a no tice, dated 23d August, from Captain Moline, of London, commander of the Joseph and Anne, an English ship, in which he states that he shall shortly arrive at Cologne, where he will immediately take in a cargo for London. The Princess of Lowiez arrived here to-day. NUREMBURG, Auc. 28.—Letters from the frontiers of Italy, of the 19th August, say that the opening of the free port of Venice is expected to take place on the let of October next. It may be conjectured, that Venice will obtain a great share in the carrying trade to and from the Levant, which has hitherto passed through Trieste. This will be particularly the case with the trade in the Nether lands' woollen cloths which, since the Greeks have been reduced to poverty, is almost wholly in the hands of the Armenians Several ships of war are fitting out at Venice, probably to reinforce the Austrian squadron employed against Morocco. FRANKFORT, Auc. 25.—Our exchange has recovered from the alarm caused by the fall of the Russian funds in London at the latter end of last week. M. Anselm Von Rothschild, senior, chief of the house of that name in this city, is expected at the end of the week to return from his visit to Paris. It h said that the financial object ascribed to this journey has been found unattainable, as the French Ministry is now composed. We have a copy of the Baibadian of the 21st July. Mr. PRIEST, the Edicor of the Free Press, had been found guilty of a libel on the Chief Justice, and mulcted in the sum of 250/. The Bill sent down by the Board of Council to the House of Assembly of St. Kitt's, for the purpose of extending civil rights to the free black and coloured inhabitants, had been rejected. On Monday last a public dinner was given to Mr. O'CONNELL by the Friends of Civil and Religious Freedom at Cork. On this occasion the Hon. and Learned Member indulged his hearers with one of those characteristic speeches in which he contrives to ramble from subject to subject, from the Law to the Church, from the Church to the State, from the State to " things in general," with an ease, an assurance, a rapi dity, and a readiness known only to himself. If variety of knowledge, energy of purpose, and glibness of language could make the perfect Statesman, Mr. O'CONNELL would undoubt edly be the first man of his age. But there are other qualifications requisite to ensure so en viable a distinction ; such, for instance, as judg ment, discretion, the art of knowing how far to urge, and when to decline, pressing a favourite point, and in these Mr. O'CONNELL is deficient. His present hobby is a repeal of the Union. He is desirous, he says, to have a resident Parlia ment in Dublin, to the furtherance of which object he has promised to devote his undivided energies. We regret to see a man of Mr. O'CoNNELL's eminence wedded voluntarily to so Utopian a scheme. He cannot but perceive that it is contrary to general feeling, and that so far from pacifying Ireland, it would only have the effect of setting all parties by the ears together. It is not an independent Legis lature, which it would take years to consolidate and bring to bear usefully and efficiently on any one particular point, that Ireland wants. She does not stand in need of a separation:from the Sister Island, which would be attended with the grossest injustice to both countries ; she re quires only two things ; first, an alteration, gradual and temperate, of the laws at present ex isting, with regard to landlord and tenant; secondly, time to enable her to get over and profit by, the effects of the late political tornado. Perhaps, also, the present mode of a dministering her criminal code might be improved, for—to adopt Mr. O'CoNNELL's own words—" at the present Assizes, during the trial of a man for felony, the Judge on the Bench was asleep, an attorney was examining three witnesses at the same time, one of the Jury was reading, and three of them were c h eapen i ng p l u ms with a fruit-girl." These are the abuses that require correction - , these are the Augan stables that demand a thorough cleansing ! Turn the full river of your eloquence through these, Mr.O'CoN NELL ; let the stream visit every nook, cranny and loop-hole, and depend on it that by so doing-- by purifying your Courts of Justice—by assist ing in the endeavour to soothe the bitterness of party spirit, instead of exciting it by wild and ill-judged schemes of political regeneration — and above all, by placing on a rational footing the laws existing between the inflexible landlord and his impoverished tenant, you will confer more lasting benefits on Ireland, than if, like another PETER the Hermit, you were to preach a crusade through Europe in behalf of your country's independence. In his recent answer to the Quarterly Re view, Sir R. DONKIN has ably refuted the fallacies of the critic, and proved the correctness of his own inferences as regards the shores of the African Syrtis. The Reviewer has quoted the authority c.f the two BEECHEYS, to disprove the Gallant General's account of the state of those shores—whereas, on referring to the works of the travellers themselves, Sir RUFANE'S account is fully and satisfactorily borne out. This is only one out of many instances of blundering and misapprehension of facts which occur in the review (in the last Quarterly) of the Gallant General's work on the Niger, some of which we pointed out a few days since to our readerF, as a mere act of justice to all parties.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 88i 9 for the account, opened at the same price this morning, but owing to the various reports of naval preparations, and fleets going to the Mediterranean, being contra dicted by the evening and morning papers this morning, also the great probability of an approach ing peace between Russia and the Turks, the Con sol market has improved, and Consols are at present 89k and 88i for money. The Foreign market, to this hour, is not worth the least notice, as there is nothing doing. Most of our journals have been amusing the public with their surmises and speculations in regard to the journey of Mr. Rothschild to Paris, which we have good reason to suppose are without foundation. We can now state, on creditable information, that the above gentleman's visit to Paris is connected with a plan for the reduction of the interest of the Austrian debt. A Four per Cent. Loan, which Rothschild's house at Frankfort had concluded two years since with the Government at Vienna, under conditions that the loan was to be kept a secret until the peace between Russia and Turkey was concluded, will now soon be brought into the market, as the expectation of peace between the above two powers daily gains ground. Miramichi Papers to the 29th July, and Havan na!) to the 24th July, have been received at the North amt South American Coffee-house. The former Papers state that they have the pleasure to record the agreeable fact that two vessels, loaded with general cargoes, have sailed for the West Indies. It is stated from St. John's, 21st July, that the unfortunate condition of the Madawaska settlement excites there the greatest sympathy, and the public in general are not acquainted that it is occasioned by the failure of the wheat crops for the two last years, which is the standard food of these people. A pe tition from that settlement was presented to his Honour, the President, a short time ago, and ar rangements were instantly made for rendering them assistance. The Journal of Odessa states that orders have been issued to the inhabitants of the above town, to remain in their houses, and only fathers of families, attended by one servant, are permitted to go to market, owing to sever d persons having died with the plague; the Government Contractors were leav ing for some other port.

The Court assembled this morning at the usual hour, but sat with dosed doors until near ten o'clock, when we were admitted. It was thought yesterday that there would have been an early adjournment, until the defence was gone into, and it would have been so but for the unexpected arrival of Master King from Ireland, as also the strange turn which the proceedings took, by the production, by Captain Dickenson, of the original " Round Robin.' All the witnesses for the prosecution have been ermined. _ . _ The business commenced with the cross-examination of Captain Spencer. Cross-examined by Captain DtcximsoN—Did you say to me that the Vice-Admiral had authorised you to inform me, ti-at if I wrote a letter, requesting him to allow me to withdraw it, he would do so ? Captain SPENCER— After I had expressed to the Vice-Admiral what I con ceived your feelings of regret, for having delivered to him such a letter, I believe, as I said before, that he autho rised me to wait upon you and say that he would receive that apology. Captain DICKENSON—Did the Vice-Admiral say to you that I must write a letter "on service" to him, before he would consent to give up that letter and receive my apology ?—Captain SPENCER—I cannot recollect that. Captain DICKENSON—Did Sir Edward Codrington then inform you that he had received such a letter from me on service, requesting to withdraw the former letter ? Captain SPENCER—I do not think he ever did. Captain DICKENSON—Did I ever inform you that I had written such a letter ?—Capt. Srartc ER—I don't recollect. Captain DICKENSON—DO you remember one day, whilst we were on shore at Malta, being with Captain An son in the street, and meeting me, when I told you that I had the pleasing satisfaction to say that Sir Edward Co drington had given up the letter to me, and that all was settled; on which you answered, th it you were very glad to hear' it.—Captain SPENCER—It 15 very possible that may have happened, but I cannot swear that I recollect it. I have no doubt I should have expressed my satisfaction upon the occasion. Captain DICKENSON-...-Is it your impression that I in formed you at any other time of the above circumstances ? —Captain SPENCER- —I dare say you did. When lam called on to say whether you did or did not, at this dis tance of time, I cannot undertake to swear. Captain DICKENSON—Did Sir Edward Codrington, when at Malta, or at any subsequent time, intimate to you his suspicion that the letter in question was not the pro duction of the petty officers and the seamen of the Genoa? Captain SPENCER-. 4 have heard him intimate such a sus picion since the transaction took place, but I cannot say at what place ; with respect to its being at Malta I cannot say, but Ile has done so since we have met in England I can say positively. Captain DICKENSON—IS the letter I now hand you the one which was showed you? Captain SPENCER—I will not undertake to swear that it is the letter, but it has the purport, and as far as I can remember much the appear ance of it. Captain Dickenson then handed in the original "round robin." The ADVOCATE-GENERAL expressed his surprise at his producing it, and said that he had served a notice on them to produce it, but he understood that it had been destroy ed. Its production now saved him the trouble of giving further parole evidence as to its substance. Captain DICKENSON said that it would have been de stroyed only for certain reports he had heard. The following was then read : " His Majesty's ship Genoa, at sea, Oct. 31, 1829. " The humble petition to your Honour of the petty offi cers, seamen, and marines, of his Majesty's ship the Genoa. With gratitude they thank your Honour for the able man ner in which you led the fleet into action, most heroically supported us in it, and hope your Honour will long live to enjoy the merited rewards of your brave conduct. Your petitioners beg leave, with all humility, before they leave the station, to express to your Honour their feelings of deep regret at the loss of their lamented Commander,whom they ever found a father and a friend ; an'l your peti tioners, with ail humility, beg leave to express their joy at finding the loss supplied by their present worthy Com - - mander. They had before found him, as an officer, active and able in the execution of his duty, as well as gentle manly in command ; but they now found him in the mo, ment of danger a leader under whom they should never fear any enemy. We therefore humbly solicit your Ho nour to represent these feelings to the Lord High Admi ral ; and your petitioners hope that your Honour will per mit Captain Dickenson to take the ship home as Captain, in the event of her going to England. " We are, Honoured Sir, " Your most obedient and humble servants, " THE CREW OF THE SHIP GENOA. " To Vice-Admiral Codrington, K.C.B. " Commander in the Mediterranean." Captain Spencer was then examined as to the sth and 6th charges. JUDGE-ADVOCATE-State to the Court all the circum stances which have mine to your knowledge relative to the sth charge (the list of the killed and wounded handed to him.) He stated he knew nothing whatsoever of the sth. He was then examined as. to, the 6th, as to the slackness of the Genoa on her way to Malta. Ile was also ignorant upon this. He was so occupied by attending to the affairs of his own ship, that be made no observation on others. Captain DICKENSON-Do you remember, at Malta, after the occurrence of the letter, meeting me at the Vice• A dmiral's table? Captain SraNcrn—Yes, I think I do. Captain DICKENSON-Did the Turkish vessels at Nava rin strike their colours, or in what way did they show their submission ? Captain SPENCER—The two vessels that came immediately under my close observation, did strike their colours, one to the Amide French ship, and the other of her own accord hoisted English colours, after pulling down the Turkish. Captain DICKENSON-Did you see the explosion of the frigate, which, when burning, endangered the Asia ? Captain SPENCER-No, I did not. Captain DICKENSON-Did you see the Genoa firing after other ships had ceased ? Captain SPENCER—No,'I did not. Captain DicicslrsTi—Hid you any orders to prepare to go to sea the eYening of the battle ? Captain SrENcEs. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON was now recalled. JUDGE-ADVOCATE—Is the letter now produced the letter you received from Captain Dickenson ? Sir E. CODRINGTON—I cannot positively swear to it ; but I am satisfied in my mind that it is. If it is so, lam wrong as to the time and place, because we were out of Nava rin the 31st Oct. Ido not believe that the document in question originated with Captain Dickenson, or the ship's company. I have formed that opinion since yesterday, in consequence of certain circumstances coming to my knowledge; and I think if Mr. Andrews, the Purser of the Genoa, was examined, he would elicit much with re gard to it. Sir H. BLacswooo—Why did you consider that letter written on his Majesty's service to be in the nature of a " round-robin." Sir E. CODRINGTON—I had meditated but not actually appointed some other person to the com mand of the Genoa. I consider that appointment to be publicly known, and that the letter in question was in tended to induce me to alter that appointment in favour of Captain Dickenson, and substitute the desire of other per sons to that of me. Sir HENRY BLAcirwoon—Did you consider the offence of that grave nature as to require a more serious inquiry? Sir E. CODRINGTON—Yes ; if I had not thought that it was best for his Majesty's service to avoid such an exposure. Admiral OTWAT—At what period after you rec,ived that letter, and how soon did you reprimand Captain Dickenson for producing it? Sir E. ConaiNcToti—l cannot possibly say how long it was after, because the very production of the letter itself, and of my conviction of its being genuine, has thrown a doubt on my memory as to time. I have no doubt of it having been the first time of my seeing him subsequent to his return. Admiral OTWAT—Did you call him on board b y s i gna l or otherwise on your being acquainted with it s contents. Sir E. CODRINGTON—I am not quite sure that I called him on board in any way, either b y signal or oth erw i se. I am inclined to think that his coming to me was the result of advice given to him by those who had seen t h e l etter, an d formed the same opin i o n of it that I had. Sir HENRY Ihacicroon expressed his surprise that Admiral C o drington did not send for Captain Dickenson rather than chose the agency of a third party. Sir E. ConitmuTox replied, that he did intend to have done so ; and as a proof of it, h a d s k etc h e d out t h e answer to the letter inquestion, and w hi c h h e mean t as an offici a l communication. Captain SCHOMBERG--ilow long after you received this letter were you pleased to accept of the apology which you received from Captain Dickenson P Sir E. CODRING. Tos—As I have endeavoured to state in the preceding evi' dence, I do not know. Captain Ewor —Have you received any other letter from the ships of the squadron? Sir E. CODRINGTON•"; Considering poetical effusions under that head, I believe received one from almost every ship in the fleet, or I be' lieve every man. Captain Goanort—After having reprimanded Captait* Dickenson for the letter in question, did you state that yell . had no intention of taking further notice of his conductr. Sir E. CODRINGTON—I doubt my having stated so; give l.im up all the means I had of establishing the cow- . plaint of the letter now produced in Court, and I cer tainly had no intention of taking any further official notice' of any part of his conduct. By Captain DICKENSON—Do you now remember that 1 wrote you a letter on service, requesting of you to allow me to withdraw the letter in question, and which was corny to you by Captain Baynes? Sir E. CODRINGTON—I haVe not the least recollection of any such thing : I by no mean* me :n to say that it was not so, but I have no recollection of The ADVOCATE-GENERAL then said that Master Kingr late of the Albion, bad arrived from Ireland, and he wool' n nv produce him. W. J. KING, a n hive of Gibraltar, and late a second-. master on hoard the Albion—He stated that he was on the . forecastle of the Albion during the action, and he recollects grape-,hot coming from the direction of the Genoa. His evidence was chiefly corroborative of Master White's, which is already before the public. PRESIDENT-What was the effect of the grape-shot which you described as coming from the direction of the Genoa? Master KING—It shattered the larboard head and hamtnegk netting on that side. PRESIDENT-How often did you observe shot to come from that direction? Master KlNG—Several times pre vious to the hoisting of the ensign. PRESIDENT-Was it upon the larboard side? Master' KING--They appeared to come from the starboard aide 011 the Genoa. PRESIDENT—In what direction did the Albion lay witfl regard to the Genoa ? Master KING—We were before O f Genoa's beam. PRESIDENT—What was tbe situation of the Genoa with regard to her opponent ? Master Kurc.4-Her oppo nent was on the starboard side of her (this is' #he point which seems to be most in dispute. Sir EdWznid• Co ington and others say that the Genoa had her tit - ma-we wards her opponent.) PRESIDENT—At what ship in the enemy's lines were the Albion's guns directed? Master Kista—The Turkish+ Admiral, then the opponent of the Asia. PRESIDENT—Do you recollect that you trained thaw guns so as to go astern of the Genoa? Master KING--I• had no- occasion to train those guns, they were rather pointed before the beam. PRASIDENT— Was it before the Albion got clear of the ship on fire that the shot came from the direction of the Genoa? Master KING—I think it was when she was foul of us. PRESIDENT-Was your attention so much occupied with the ship on fire as to prevent your being certain of whether shot had come from the.aGenoa ? Master Kilo; —Perh3ps at that moment it was. Capt. SCIIO3IBERG-Was there any other vessel in the direction of the Genoa from whom you might have re— ceived the grape shot you describe? Master KING—I aur not quite certain but the Genoa's opponent might have fired from her stern guns. I had once a glimpse of her, and think it probable she might. Admiral OTWAY-Was any person hurt at your quarters by the shot which struck the head door ? Master KING None. Capt. ELLIOT—Do you speak positively that grape-shot from the Genoa struck the Albion? Master KING—No , only my belief. Capt. ELLIOT-Did you ever fire at the Genoa's o r ponent ? Master KING—I think not. If we did it was' in the latter part of the action. PRESIDENT-Did you ever see the Genoa distinctly? Master KING—I did, towards the latter part of the actions when the smoke cleared away. Capt. ELLIOT-Where there any of her guns pointed in the direction of the Albion? Master KING—I cannot say whether or not. Capt. ELLIOT—Do you feel confident that the grape could come from the Genoa's starboard bow ? Muter KING—I think it possible that it might. Capt. ELLIOT—Was it your own impression at the time the grape shot came from the Genoa 4—Master KING—It was my impression at the time. Capt. ELLIOT—Did you see the Asia during the action ?—Master KING—I did, the Genoa was to the 4 0 ' of her in a line drawn from the _Albion to the Asia. PaESIDENT—Did yottever - d - cltin;lysee the Genoa's opponent. Master KING-4 cannot say that I ever did sce her distinctly during the action, we were 2i cable . length from her. Cross-examined by Captain Dtc KENsole—Were there any English grape or large shot found in the hull or the masts of the Albion?—Master KING : Ido not know- Captain DICKENSON—Were you on the forecastle wiles Captain Campbell came forward and stood on the head — grating to view the direction of the Genoa's fire?—blast er KING : I saw Captain Campbell on the forecastle, near the head-grating. Captain DICKENSON—Do you know at what time Capt. Campbell made any observations respecting the Genoa's fire?--Master KING: I do not. Mr. Join Jot-m _ow, late gunner of the Albion, n" 18 called to explain why the powder books were not signed by Captain Onunaney, which he did. To a question from Captain DICKENSON, M tO 1 1011 ' long the Albion was engaged with both her broadsides ? his reply was half an hour.—To the same question to Master King, the answer was, an hour and a half. The ADVOCATE-GENERAL said that he was instructed by the Admir thy to say, that they were ready to give any papers which were asked for, that could elucidate the charges under inquiry. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON was then called, and aske j were there any other papers Which he required to elucidate the charges. Sir E. CODRINGTON denied that they were his charg e : He was called on by the Admiralty to make a staterne%' which he did by letter; and it was those letters 1 411 " -- were made the ground of charges. In writing those les tars, he had done it at the representation of the Admiral:)', as his duty ; yet at the same time be was most ADEiOl ll l ° . have avoid e d the pres e nt proceeding. However, P j . „, - Admiralty thought otherwise, and therefore he 'gr. anxious to submit to the Court other letters, which ' thought would elucidate the charges, though they ee r : A tainly did not strictly bear upon them, yet they won"' show how they originated. When he was asked were the, r , e , any other papers necessary to elucidate the charges '- would say there was. But there were certain papers be cessary to elucidate a part of the correspondence, which :„ e held in his band, and though that part did not refer those charges, yet they in a manner rose from it. Howe Yer u i he should not require them to read that p a rt, b u t be We' select that part of the correspondence which would ininf diately refer to the charges, or rather say hi s l e tters. T he onus of proving the truth of them was thrown on bit e ' which he would have done, but to do so it required three most material witnesses, one of whom was at Bermu des another in the West Indies, and the third in the Mediter" ranean. He was asked by the Admiralty, could he go saf e to trial without them? He said that it was not his trial, on the contrary, he was entirely averse to the proceeding' The JUDGE-ADVOCATE—Did we not offer to send fe r those witnesses? Sir E. Coontwatow—lt is perfee t 'l true that you did ; but, as I said before, that it was o°. my trial but yours. A long desultory conversatio n now took place, wh ieb i time will not permit us t o g i ve , as t o w h e th er that part ° the correspondence which would go to elucidate the charge s was to he read, when the Court was ordered to be cleared' and after half an hour's deliberation, the opinion of w e Court was, that such letters could not be read. Mr. Awnertws, the purser, was then called, and ask, as to what he knew of the round-robin, when he depor: as follows :—To the best of my knowledge that letter is th one which the crew of the Genoa sent to the Adroirt On the 4th of November, 1827, Captain Dickenson t e me the ship's company had requested him to P re k i to sent it to the Admiral ; after I had read it I Captain Dickenson that if I was in his situatio n should not forward it. Captain Dickenson nba er l s , to me, that he was given to understand if he did not do it they would themselves. I told biro tn a I did not like the latter part of it. Captain Dickenef.} said he was fearful that the Admiral would be displen aeu a l , it came from any body but himself. Subsequently lon on hcaid the Asia at Malta, and I saw Captain Curzon ;a the quarter-deck. He said to me, " Andrews, Car' s , Dickenson has got himself into trouble." I told him s pa sorry for it, and that it was done against my wish. n tain Curzon said lie thought that if Captain Diel'e n :l" o would write another letter to the Admiral, requesting i:on to allow him to withdraw it, he would.

after saw him, when he told me he had seen the Admiral, who was satisfied, and returned him not only the original letter, but the one he had wrote, and did not keep co pies of either. .it being now four o'clock, the Court postponed the exa inmation until to-morrow. This is the last witness for the prosecution. lace I despatched my report of yesterday, I have rea son to thing that the two " secret papers" therein alluded to, are not of the importance assigned to them. With reference to " other documents" said to have been l bited for by Sir Edward C,odrington, but denied to him, I "assured that nothing of the kind has occurred ; on the _" n trary, every document w hich has been asked fir. by any raYt has been furnished by the Admiralty. " Why (it " inquired by impartial men) does not Sir Edward Codring ton state specifically the documents he solicited that are withheld? Why does he not also state what those decal , u enta were whi c h, it i s i ns i nua t e d, w ere o bt a i ne d frcni ' 4l m, and for which he can get no receipt ?" The public has a right to know that fair and impartial justice is done, and that the Offices of the State are con ducted with regularity and candour. The reports in seve ral of the newspapers seem to impugn the conduct of the Admiralty, as if some concealment had been practised by that tloard. lam assured, however, that such an impu tation is t o t a ll y un f oun d e d . Ment i on i s i n d ee d ma d e o f a long correspondence between Sir Edward and the Secre tary of the Admiralty, as to how far the former was in the Position of a proseentor, and this correspondence the Court decided afforded no evidence against Captain Dickenson, and therefore refused to order its production. I believe it contained nothing of public interest. ASSIZES. -(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) WESTERN CIRCUIT—BRISTOL, SEPT- 4. Ms. RICKETS V. TOLEMAN. Serjeant WILDE (with whom were Mr. MANNING, rotLETT, and Mr. W. P. TAUNTON), stated that this Was a case of considerable commercial importance.— tbe plaintiffs (Messrs. Rickets and Co.) some time since 'were partners in a banking establishment in this city, but Which they discontinued in 1826. The defendant was a builder in Bristol ; and this action was brought to recover the sum of 1.500/., - the balance on promissory notes, n utounting to 4,4001., to which the defendant was an in dorser. The facts of the case, which were detailed at very great length by the Learned Counsel, are shortly as follow : 7-The defendant (Toleman), who had a banking account With the plaintiffs, was engaged in mercantile transactions to a considerable extent with a person named Tibbets, who also kept an account with Messrs. Rickets. Tib bets tired to pay the defendant in his own pro- Ibis "rY notes, at long dates, and these notes were endorsed by the defendant, and discounted by the plaintiffs, In the year 1825, Tibbets, the drawer of the b its died in insolvent circumstances, and the whole of the bills not then due, eleven in number, amounting to 4,400/. were of course dishonoured. Toleman, fearful of the con ate en , obtained a meeting with the executors of Tib and and one of the partners in the bank. What then transpired did not appear ; but from the frequent commu nications that passed there could be no doubt that an ar rangement had been made for the hankers to hold the bills till such time as they bad s ee n what Tibheta' estates would pay. The Learned Counsel said it was not attempted to be de-- "d that Toleman had received the money for the bil!s of th e plaintiff; but what did the Jury think was the de fen to this action? Why, that the plaintiffs had ne- Rlected to g i ve him no ti ce of their being dishonoured. -4 e would, however, prove that Toleman had given authority to the executors of Tibbets to pay the d ischar ge of those very bills which he in that authority calls " my debt," but now turns round and says, oh I nwe you not hi ng , you h ave no c l a i m u p on me , f or y ou ever gave me notice of the hills not being paid. The Plaintiffs re ce i ve d th e di v id en d s un d e r the estate of Tib betts, according to the arrangement, and therefore consi dered i t was not necessary to give the defendant notice of the hill s not being paid as they became d ue, as h e must hav e f been p er f ect l y aware t h at suc h wou ld b e t h e case . H e " 11 *- Serjeant Wilde) understood another defence, most outr ageous to the feelings of men of business, was to be set up; there had been a trifling mistake of a few shillings in - e°lll puting th e i n t eres t, and that was to be tortured into a Charge of usury. Serjeant MYREWEATHER..-.We do not rely on USury for our defence. You may, therefore, spare your ob servations on that head. Air. Seijeant WILDE continued.—He was happy to hear his Learned Friend disavow such a vexatious course. The Jury were most probably aware that this case had been tried before, and a new trial had been obtained on the ground that the verdict of the Jury was not delivered in a formal manner by the foreman. But the Learned Judge who tried it, observed " that unless a man was a Tom fool, he could have no doubt of the justice of the plaintiffs' claim." Witnesses were called to prove the defendant's hand writing to the bills, and the authority he gave to the exe cutors of Tibbets to pay the dividends to the plaintiffs, to part discharge •of the account. No proof was ad 'Teed that any notice of the bills not being paid was O r en to the defendant. xr Mr. Serjeant Mtraxwasanxit, (with whom was Serjeant Burdens) addressed the Jury at great le ngth for the defendant. The real question in the sac's was, did the defendant ever receive notice ° I the bills being dishonoured, if he did not, his giving authority to the executors of Tibbets to pay the Plaintiffs any dividends they might be enabled to make, did not, as his Learned Friend Mr. Serjeant Wilde stated, amount to a waiver of his legal right to avail himself of their neglect. That authority was only given as secut ity to the executors, that if they so paid the money, he W ould not call u p on th em at any f uture t i me t o accoun t for it. It did not do away with the necessity of the plain tiffs to give notice, and that they had done so remained With them to prove, or otherwise they could not support the present action. There were eleven different bills, and the law imperatively demanded that eleven different notices should b e g i ven. But he hoped to conv i nce t h e Jury f rom the pl a i nt iff s ' own b oo k s, t h a t t h ey cons id ere d an d these bills as their own, for they received the dividends from Tibbets' es,ate in 1825, end never role him cre di t f or t h em un til t h e year 1827, a ft er th e y had discontinued business, and commenced an action against him for the recovery of the balance. That cir 414"tance clearly showed they all along bad treated the bills a 4 their own ; and if the authority of Toleman to the exe !t!tors did not satisfy the Jury that it was an admission on 4 ' ll Part that he was aware the bills were dishonoured, the plaintiffs had no case. And what, gentlemen (said the ;he y C ounse l) cou ld more c l ear l y prove th e grea t doubt ;leg entertained on the question than the fact of the decla 14ion con s i st i ng o f no l ess t h an f or t y - e i g ht coun t s , a nd the reed for an action on promissory notes was such an one I ' , ever before was seen in a British Court of Justice. His Z e arned F r i en d was wrong i n say i ng t h e C our t gran t e d a e t'? trial on the ground of the verdict in the last Ba de, not h av i ng b een g i ven i n a f orma l manner .

Serjeant WILDE replied. The L or d Cnixe JusTicE summed up. His Lordship a b id , the Legislature had wisely ordered that every party to 4 'lli except the one th whom it originated, should have : i re of its dishonour; but the question for the Jury to asider in this case was, whether the defendant had not 4 11 'ed his r i g h t t o no ti ce , by g i v i n g an au th or ity t o t h e tit e : l4o ra of Tibbets to pay certain monies to the plain ', la liquidation of those bills, which he called his debt. rer ° such a circumstance the law would infer that he had b " ° tice of their dishonour. th lb e.Jury, a ft er a s h or t c onsultation, found a verdict for e p l aintiff—Damages, 1,2941.

EAST INDIA ASSOCIATION AT CARLISLE. At the close of Mr. Buckingham's last lecture on the East India and China monopoly, delivered at Carlisle on the 26th ult. to a highly respectable au dience, including a great number of the country gentlemen who had been attending on the Assizes, it was moved by .li)lin Dixon, Esq., and seconded by Wm. Watt., Esq. and carried by acclamation— , " That the cordial thanks of this meeting be ten ' dered to Mr. Buckingham, for the able and agree able manner in which he has opened the vast fund of his information respecting the trade with India and China ; and that we offer him our best wishes for his health and continued success in the great cause he is so effectually advocating." It was further re solved—" 1. That as the period is now fast ap proaching when the East India Company's charter of exclusive privileges will expire by law, it is highly desirable that the inhabitants of Car- lisle, whose interests would be greatly pro moted by the extension of their trade to India and China, should adopt some effectual me thod of securing this advantage for their city and its neighbourhood, by such legal and constitutional means as may unite all parties ►n the pursuit of so important an object. 2. That as no single individual, however zealous or however able, can hope to ac complish this without the aid of his fellow-citizens generally, it is expedient that an Association be im mediately embodied, under the name of The Car lisle East India Association,' for the purpose of col lecting the best information upon all points connected with the trade to India and China, and of acting in concert with the East India Association of Liver ► pool, Glasgow, and the other great mercantile towns of the kingdom, in the prosecution of such measures as may be deemed best calculated to promote the opening of the rich ar►d populous countries of the East to the skill, capital, and enterprise of all his Majesty's f►ithful subjects, who are now excluded from any participation in those very privileges which are enjoyed to the fullest extent by foreigners of every description." These resolutions being put to the vote, were carried unanimously : and the follow ing gentlemen immediately entered their names as members of the Provisional Committee, for the pur pose of forming and organizing " The Carlisle East India Association ;" George Ferguson, William Wilde, Joseph Ferguson (1), William Halton, James Harrington, John Dixon, Joseph Ferguson (2), Ralph Forster, John Watson, Peter Dixon, jun., George Cohen.

This unfortunately has been unpropitious and unprecedented in the annals of our services ; yet notwithstanding the weather has almost in cessantly frowned upon us, the sunshine of your favours has never been eclipsed by the dark clouds and torrents of the elements.—(Applause.)—The recollection of past and present favours will never be erased from the tablets of our memory. With the pleasing prospect now before us, no foul weather shall damp the ardour of our exertions, but the dawning of another season shall find us alive to every possible improvement, and the exertions of the Ma nagers shall be applied in every department to produce amusement and novelty.—(Applause.) -_I am requested by each member of this establishment to express their most grateful acknowledgment of your liberal approval, and, if I may be allowed, must humbly yet most sensitively to convey my own; and finally, collectively and individually, till the period of our re-opening, respectfully and moat cor dially to bid you farewell.—(Applause.)

A young man named James Thompson was charged with stealing a piece of silk, containing up wards of 50 yards, from the shop of Mr. Poole, a linen-draper, in Fore-street, on Monday evening. Sir PETER LAURIE committed him for trial. Thomas Robins, a stout elderly man, of respectable appearance, was brought up on suspicion of having robbed an aged lady yesterday forenoon, in Falcon• street. The prisoner confidently asserted his innocence and respectability; but was, unfortunately, recog nized by the Chief Clerk and Governor of the Compter as one of the old" dividend hunters," who lurk about the Bank to hustle and rob aged and infirm persons who have been transacting business there. Sir PETER LAURIE therefore remanded him till the following day, and ordered Bates to inquire into the reference the prisoner had given. BOW_STREET. Yesterday a young girl named Elizabeth Duggan was placed at the bar before Mr. HALLS, charged with having attempted to steal, in the shop of Mr. Staw, Great Russell-street, Covent-Garden, a nova mina ring, value 14s. The prisoner declared that she had no intention of stealing the ring, and that it stuck by accident to her dress. Mr. HALLS said it was a clear case, and the pri soner was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Last might two German Jews, named Philip Levy and Solomon Barliana, were brought in cus tody from Hounslow, and placed at the bar, charged with having stolen from the box of Matthias Lasser, at Worcester, jewellery and watches to the amount of upwards of 3004, and also a 50/. note of the Bank of England. The prosecutor, who is also a foreign Jew, has been in the habit of travelling the country for some years past, disposing of his jewellery, of which he possesses a very valuable stock. The manner in which he detailed the circumstances of the robbery, his foreign accent, and imperfect knowledge of the English language, and the pathos which he threw into the story, having, as he conceived lost nearly his all, excited the greatest interest among those who heard his statement. As it would be next to impossible to give his very lengthened account after his own manner, the following particulars must suffice:— On Wednesday evening, he said he was in the parlour of the Duke of York public-house at Wor cester, where it appeared he was in the habit of setting up, when the female servant of the house came to him and said that the two men (the pri soners) who had put up at the house had gone away without paying their lodging. The thought immediately struck him that he had been robbed, and taking a candle from the table, he ran up stairs in the greatest terror, and upon entering his bed room discovered that the box containing the whole of his property was not in the situation he had left it. Upon opening it he found that it was completely stripped of its contents, consisting of jewellery, and money to the amount of upwards of4oo/. In the agony and despair of the moment, he tore his hair and cried aloud, upon which the neighbours came running to the house; and as most of them had known him for years, they joined in his sorrow, and offered to assist him in pursdmg the thieves. When he came a little to himself, he recollected that the box contained a secret drawer, in which he had deposited some money. This drawer lie opened, and found that it had escaped the notice of the thieves. He then thanked God that they had not deprived him of his all. The drawer contained three 201. notes, and a tradesman's acceptance for a few pounds, besides some loose sovereigns and silver. Having lodged this money in a place of security, he then ran out into the streets, inquiring of all whom he met if they had seen the prisoners. He went round to the dif ferent places where he knew chaises could be hired at, and at one of them he learned that two men, answering the description of the prisoners, had been there wanting to engage a horse and - chaise to take them to Oxford, where they said they must proceed immediately. Not liking their appearance, the chaise was refused to them, and the prosecutor finding the route which the prisoners intended to take, deter mined upon following them at once to Oxford, and the next morning he mounted a Worcester coach, which was just setting off to Oxford. He heard nothing of the prisoners until he arrived at Oxford, when he learned that the Paul Pry coach had ar rived from Worcester about half an hour before, and had started for London. He then went to the coach-office, from which the Paul Pry had started, and there learned that " two Jewish-looking chaps, very shabbily dressed," had arrived by that coach from Worcester. His informant added, that they were provided with two large green bags, which appeared to contain property of value. Finding that the thieves had got half an hour's start of him, and fearing that if they once reached London lie might bid adieu to his property, he immediately formed the resolution of taking the road to London by the Gloucester mail, which was then about to start, and which he knew would travel much faster than the other coaches. He accordingly engaged a place, and at the first town at which they - stopped to change horses, after leaving Oxford, he learned, to his great joy, that the Paul Pry coach was also changing horses within a very short distance; and, in fact, in a few minutes after, the guards of both coaches met, and were talking together. The pro secutor immediately took the guard of the Paul Pry aside, and asked him if two persons, describing the prisoners, were passengers in his coach. The guard immediately replied, that there were two foreigners on the coach. The prosecutor then told him, that he had been robbed at Worcester by those two men, and that they had got his property with them. " If that be the case," replied the guard, " you may make your mind easy, for I have got all the luggage safely locked up in the boot of the coach." It was then arranged between the prose cutor and the guard, that the former should make no stir in the business until the Paul Pry should reach Hounslow, and in order to give him time to arrange matters there for the purpose of taking the prisoners into custody, the guard promised to delay the Paul Pry half an hour on the road. It then struck the prosecutor, that as he wore a white hat the prisoners might know him, perhaps,as he passed them on the road, and use some stratagem to escape from the coach. He accordingly proposed to ex change hats with the guard, to which the latter im mediately assented, and indeed throughout the whole affair manifested the greatest readiness to assist in securing the prisoners. Both coaches started at almost the same moment, but the Gloucester mail, as had been arranged, soon passed the Paul Pry, and upon arriving in H ouns l ow , a t five o'clo c k, yesterday (Friday) morning, the prose cutor found that he had at least half an hour to pro- cure assistance before Paul Pry should arrive. Upon inquiring for a constable he was directed to the house of a man named Bennett. " I knocked at the door," said the prosecutor " wid both my fist, and I called out as loud as I could, for God's sake get up, Mr. Constable, come in your shirt, for no time is lost; Paul Prior is coming; I am robbed of my property, and I want you to take de tief." The constable, not knowing exactly how to comprehend so strange an application, but judging from the manner in which the prosecutor clamoured at the door that something was amiss, put on his clothes as quickly as possible, and had just learned the nature of the application when the Paul Pry drove into the town. Accompanied by the prosecutor, he took both prisoners into custody as the coach was changing horses. The constable said to th e pr i soners " You have ro bb e d t hi s gentle man." Both p r i soners i mme di a t e ly admitt e d th at they had ; and o ne o f th e m, a ddressing the prose cutor in Heb rew , o b serve d t h at i t wa s a b a d busi ness, and they did it in an unlucky hour. The con stable, leavin g the prisoners in custody of the pro secutor, and an assistant, took charge of two green bags which the guard of the Paul Pry de livered up to him, saying that they were taken to a public-house, and upon the person of Barliana the constable found four watches, and upon that of Levy he found two watches, all of which were identified by the prosecutor as his property. The two bags were then opened in the presence of Mr. Cooke, the high constable of the hundred of Isleworth, who took an inventory of the articles which were found; amongst which were 88 gold seals, 173 gold rings, besides a great quantity of pearl and other ornaments. The prosecutor stated, that although he had valued the property stolen at about 3501., he conceived that it was of far greater value to him. Unfortunately, the prisoners, in pack ing it up, spoilt a great number of articles by using wet grass instead of something dry. The above facts having been reduced to evidence, Mr. HALLS asked the prisoners if they wished to say any thing, cautioning them at the same time not to criminate themselves. The prisoner Levy admitted the fact of the rob bery, but denied having used any force to open the prosecutor's box. Their bed-room, he said, was next to that of the prosecutor, and they both went into it finding the door open, and were tempted to open the box and steal its contents. The prisoner Barliana declined saying any thing in his defence, and Mr. HALLS, after ordering the witnesses to be bound over, told the prisoners that they were both fully committed to Newgate for the robbery. It is singular that the 501. note has not been dis covered. Both prisoners denied all knowledge of it. MA RLBOROU GH-STREET. A young man of genteel appearance, and under stood to be very respectably connected, named John Hamilton, was brought before Mr. ROE, charged with receiving a valuable flute, the property of Mr. Milhouse, a music -seller, in Oxford -street, well knowing it to have been stolen. The prisoner, in his defence, declared that the flute was given to him by a young man named Fer guson, for the purpose of pawning it, and who told him that the flute was his own property. He gave Ferguson, he said, 255. of the money for which he pawned it, and kept the other .ss. to bimself for his trouble : he could not, however, tell where Fergu son was to be found at present. Mr. ROE said, that this was a different story from what he had told Mr. Selby, to whom he said that the flute was his own, having bought it as a bargain; he must therefore take his trial for receiv ing it knowing it to be stolen. The prisoner was then committed for trial. It did mot appear that Mr. Hilhouse knew any thing of the prisoner, or that the latter had any op portunity of stealing the flute himself. MARYLEBONE. A boy was charged yesterday morning, before Mr. RAWLINSON, with having stolen a saddle and bridle, belonging to Mr. Higgins, of No. 38, Coch rane-terrace, and the evidence given in the case was extraordinary. Martin M'Carthy, an Irish lad, said, " I am ser vant to Mr. Higgins. Master gave me orders two days before )esterday, never to lend his saddle and bridle to any body; but the boy came yesterday morning to tire stable and got them." Mr. RAwuNsoN asked him why he disobeyed his master's orders ? "He brought a bit of a note, your Honour," replied Martin, "and I gave it to Mr. Johnson's groom to read it for me, and he said it was all right. This is the note,:your Honour." It was handed to Mr. Rawlinson, and he read— " Mr. Higgins, have the goodness to lend me your saddle and bridle for an hour of two. YOUPS COWELL." " Martin,—Let Mr. Cowell have the saddle and bridle." This induced Martin to deliver them up. He knew Mr. Cowell was a friend of his master's, and he thought the postscript was addressed by his mas ter to him. Two or three hours after, Mr. Higgins desired Martin to saddle his horse, and " How will I saddle your horse, Sir," said Martin, " when Mr. Cowell has borrowed your saddle and bridle ?" This brought the fraud to light, and Martin being confident that it was committed by the prisoner, he was apprehended. Mr. RAwuNsoN—Are you sure this is the boy ? Martin—As far as my senses and my eyesight is upon me, it is the same, your honour; but his clothes are different. Mr. RAWLINSON—Did you notice his features ? Martin—He's got the very same face, your honour. Thomas Pocock, Mr. Jackson's servant, was in the stable where Mr. Higgins's horse stands, when the note came, and he read it to the last witness. The boy who brought it said he had taken it from Mr. Cowell to Mr. Higgins at Cochrane-terrace, and Mr. Higgins had written the lines at the bot tom, but that boy was not the prisoner, he was taller, was freckled, and had a round and more red face. Catherine Carson, a young Irish woman who lives above the stables, said she opened the yard-gates to let out the boy who got the saddle and bridle; she had an opportunity of observing his countenance, for he looked at her and smiled, as he left the place, and she could swear that the face and the hair of the prisoner were the same,but he wore different clothes. The boy, in his defence, said he was elsewhere at the time, and it was so far proved by his father and mother, who were called forward and examined separately, that he was discharged. A young man requested Mr. RAWLINSON to assist him in recovering a watch. He bought it, he said, of a man named Levy, on the 26th of February, at an auction-shop in Leicester-fields, and he promised to take it back and exchange it for another, or give him the value in some other articles, if within three months he had reason to be dissatisfied. The watch did not please him, and he returned it, and now could neither get his watch again nor its value, and Levy had since then removed to the corner of Ber ners-street, Oxford-street. Mr. RAWLINSON asked what kind of a watch it was, and if it was warranted to go ? Applicant— Mr. Levy warranted it, and said it was a double bottomed silver one, engine -turned. Mr. ItAwLlNsoN—What did you give for it ? Applicant—Eight-and-twenty shillings. Mr. RAwurisoN—lt was not dear if it was good. Did it go well ? The applicant made all around him look merry', and even smiled himself when he re plied, " It would not go at all." Mr. RAWLINSON ordered a summons to be served upon Mr. Levy, requiring him to appear before him, and show cause why he detained the property. UNION-HALL Yesterday a man named 11fahone . y was brought before Mr. SWABEY, charged with having com mitted a violent assault on a young lad named Miles, who was unable to attend the examination in consequence of the injury he received. The defendant was remanded, in order to await the fate of the boy. Extract of a letter from an officer on board his Majesty's schooner Monkey, dated the Havannah, July 11, 1829 :—" Early on the morning of the 27th of June, perceiving a very suspicious-looking brig a-head, we made all sail in chase, the wind being very light ; we gained upon her considerably after a chase of some hours; at length about noon she unshored, got a spring upon her cables, and cleared for action ; we could distinctly see six guns on each side, but were ignorant of the number of men, while the little Monkey had but one gun mounted on a swivel so as to traverse in every direction. As we approached she hoisted Spanish colours, and as soon as we were within musket shot, she poured in a broadside, which, had her guns been pointed with precision, must have swept our decks, and in all human probability have sent us to the bottom. We in return kept up a brisk fire with our long gun and small arms, which did great execution, and after an action of about forty-five minutes, she struck her colours, when we immediately boarded sword in band, and secured the prisoners ; she proved to be the Providencia, formerly a 16-gun brig in the Spanish service, manned with 68 men and officers, and having, when taken, 400 negroes on board. The Providencia had her chief officer, supercargo, and one seaman killed, and four seamen wounded ; while on board the Monkey, though so much moreperson was Englishmen." Among the crew o exposed, f the slaver one we found s five SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Among many articles put forth by the Paris Journals, wherein advantage is one day taken of the inveterate prejudice against England to as sault the Polignac Ministry, on the stupid pre tence of its connexion with that of the Duke of Wellington, and next day a similar use is made of hatred against the Ministry, to found on it some tirade against England, we have met with a performance in the Journal du Commerce, which approaches more to the true character of harum-scarum than most other effusions of ab surdity since the days when Buonaparte was wont to avenge his wrongs from British bayonets and cannon, by invectives upon our subsidies, frauds, and shopkeepers. The article begins with abusing confidential interviews, tete-a tetes, &c., as the only means by which the new Administration can manage to get on, and then contrives to slip into a lecture upon the compa rative evils of a war to the respective interests of Great Britain and France, should there take place between these Powers a collision, which the speculating Journalist seems ardently to pray for, though we cannot flatter him that his wishes are likely just at present to be realized. His first paragraph respecting England is a faithful transcript of some ten thousand others, which people of a certain age, like ourselves, used to dwell upon with signal satisfaction, from the year 1803 to 1815, while the First Consul, af terwards his Imperial Majesty, was (irrespon sible) editor ofthe whole French press. England, it appears, is now, what it was the Buonaparte- , joke to call her, " mistress of the commercial world, by the fortified points which she has usurped on all coasts, and in all seas, either by fraud or violence." There is not " a single na tion, whom she does not force to receive her produce ! or whose industry she does not anni hilate by treaties, payment of subsidies ! terror, smuggling," &c., &c., &c. It looks as if a given. quantum of rigmarole was required for the di gestion of such readers as draw their political nutriment from the Journal du Commerce. The industry of other nations destroyed by sub sidies, now in the time of peace ! That Eng lish industry might indeed be destroyed by such subsidies, were she fool enough to pay them, we can understand ; but how the opposite case is made out, we have yet to learn from the Jour nal a'u Commerce. Other countries forced to receive English produce ! How ? prythee friend, do indulge us with the recipe forforcing produce upon a foreign nation ! Teaching ca licoes to emigrate instead of weavers, would be to solve a problem by which Manchester is grie vously puzzled. But next in the Paris disserta tion comes a war. A war is that blessing for which France, we are told, ought to sigh—and England, throughout all her looms, to tremble. It appears to this statesman that a war between the two countries (for which, by the way, he assigns neither cause nor pretext to either of the belligerents) must be followed by gain to France, and loss to Great Britain, in all their most essential interests. That France would recover her manufactures, carrying on her trade by neutral ships, is a postulate with the Journal du Commerce. There is, to be sure, a principle in the law of nations, for which England has contended, and sometimes, mayhap, with success, that enemy's goods are not pro tected by the flag under which they travel. But this maxim, says the article-writer, England would no longer be permitted by neutral states, and especially by those of North America, to enforce against French productions. We shall follow the Parisian writer no farther than to say, that lie indites foolish words, and in a spirit which is worse than foolish. Both countries would lose dreadfully by a war. By a wanton war, they would sin beyond forgiveness ; and what other could arise between France and Eng land at this hour ? We do not profess to look far into futurity, but if there be two powers in the world, whose solid interests, prevailing and ot any k e o n t her sto friendship prolong beaitsi: notoeane itsiettnatilltiees:mmo opi nions, kindred intelligence, and reciprocal feel ings, appear to us better calculated than those handful and E i an d of are ic t u h r e a y b . e Itmi f : luor F e rm o r t a r uh d i rieicsae of a c l cupi dity of some dozen of sordid projectors--no, nor the blind madness of a suddenly excited mob—that will break the international harmony which reigns between the two most enlightened nations of the universe. Even the Ministers who sought to plunge these great communities into discord, if any such Ministers could be chosen, would not long retain the office which they so abused. The nature of things, as well as happiness of mankind, is against such insane and atrocious projects. The following is the article to which we have been adverting : (From the Journal du Commerce.) The creatures of the raew Administration are every where at the search for popularity for their idols. The press is not their favourite arm to com bat the too just prejudices of public opinion ; it is in confidential interviews and tete-a-tetes that they endeavour to captivate approbation. Open enemies to the general interest of the country, they hope to rally to their cause some local or personal interest, — some old prejudices that they think are still alive amongst certain classes of society. They extol to commercial men the advantages they may expect from a Ministry in harmony with the English Go vernment, and which may preserve from the dangers of a collision with a Power capable of ruining our establishments and exportations. One of our most celebrated and important manu facturers answered lately similar insinuations by the following reflections, which he has communicated to us in writing : Mistress of the commercial world, by the for tified points which she has usurped on all coasts and in all seas, either by fraud or violence, England has made the universe a colony of her industry. There is not a single nation whom she does not force to receive her produce, or whose industry she does not annihilate by treaties, payment of subsidies, terror, or by a system of smuggling boldly and resolutely carried on. " But let us investigate what would become of this prosperity in case of a serious war with France, supported by the latter, not under the inspiration of a conqueror more biassed by motives of personal ambition than the prosperity of France, but with that energy which denotes a free people. What have we to suffer, what compensations can the two nations hope for ? " In regard to France, at the very worst, she would be deprived of almost the totality of a very weak and unprosperous share in commerce; she would be obliged to sell her merchantmen to neutral powers,—to borrow their flags. Nantes, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Havre, might certainly suffer from the war, though, after all, their losses might be com pensated by the advantage of commerciug with tl:e neutral states, and of prosecuting a system of making prizes, which, with the help of the new inventions now in use, might prove very fatal to England. And, indeed, we are modest enough to mention nothing of our military navy, which ap pears to be on a very respectable footing, and caN pable of annoying the British navy on all seas, or at least to oppose it in the Mediterranean, where our. forces would be concentrated—a circumstance which

ould necessitate enormous expenses on the part of England, in order to combat such numerous fleets at so great a distance. t 7 We allow, also, that in the supposition of war, France might lose the colonies of Bourbon and Pon= dicherry; but the former, without Mauritius, is a very insignificant possession; and in regard to Mar tinique and Guadaloupe, it is a well-known fact that the delivering our finances of such a burden would be far from being a matter of regret. " However, what numerous compensations f✓r such losses, if even they deserve the name, in the prizes made on the English commerce, the richest of the world ! Certainly all the chances of war are in our favour, for on sea we cannot be worse, and in a more circumscribed position, than at present ; and on land our coast and national guards would se cure our own territory against all enterprises. But, in fact, we should really be the gainers ; the restora tion of our manufactures and industry, oppressed as well as those of other countries by the rivalry of the English,—our fabrics of cotton, wool, silk, and cloth, liberated from the state of distress in which they now languish,—►the prosperity of our indigenous sugar manufactories,—and, finally, the neutral powers af fording us materials at the same price we pay now. Let no one be frightened by the pretended blockades of England,—by her maxim that the flag does not protect the goods, and that the sea is her sovereign domain,--for she would be unable to enforce the execution of such maxims without going to war with all nations, and especially with North America, more interested and therefore more ardent than any others to repulse such haughty pretensions. " Now let us turn to England. Obliged to pro tect by armed convoys each kind of merchandise that she may import to maintain her industry, and all the produce of her manufactories labouring under insurance fees and shackles of every species, she would never support the rivalry of the neutral power disengaged from all such embarrassments,—she would see her commerce failing, her industry lan guishing, and her enormous debt increasing daily.— Such a state of general disquietude probing her in terior wounds would make still more terrible the permanent apprehension of an invasion; and by finding new chances of success in the irritation of Ireland, which, from one moment to another, might see another Hoche instead of Humbert enter Ban try-bay. " Let, then, the English nation reflect well ! If she be arrived at the zenith of power and glory, it ie that before all others she recovered the charter of her rights and enjoyed the fruits of wise liberty, whilst Europe was fettered by ignorance and servi tude : it is that her government, though often making use of means contrary to justice and humanity, has constantly had in view the national weal, and not the paltry consideration of coteries and private inte rest. But let her tremble to endanger such advan tages by a blind obstinacy, to monopolize liberty to herself, and by endeavouring to repress the efforts of the noble nations who aspire at the imitation of her exam p I e."— Times. The Dublin Evening Post of Tuesday last has a long article on the state of the South of Ireland, which is deserving of attention. After some compliments to Major Carter, the Chief Magistrate of Police appointed for Tipperary, who, says our Dublin Contemporary, " will not be under the necessity of making appeals to the musket on the occurrence of a row at a fair, and he will not unnecessarily cause blood to flow because a coarse jest may be played off, or even an insult may happen to be offered to a Police Constable," he proceeds to observe— " As to the mode of conducting the late trials, it is idle to pretend that there is not amongst high men too, a strong feeling of surprise. For ourselves we have never insinuated—for we never entertained the thought, nor do we at this moment, that the Solici tor-General was actuated by any motives but those of the worthiest kind—nor will all the absurd pane gyric which has been heaped upon him by the Orange papers, remove the favourable impression which we have received of the honour and integrity of the man. But with this feeling, thus unequivo cally expressed, we are amongst those who think that, in conducting the prosecutions, he took a very mistaken course. In the first place, it was inju dicious to have all the juries Protestants. The same result would occur, perhaps, if they were mixed—if an equal number of each profession were suffered to be sworn. But in these trials, the Catholics were universally challenged by the agent for the prose cution—by whose duty it was to obtain a conviction, if the nature of the evidence was such as to justify twelve honest men in coming to such a conclusion. What right had Mr. Solicitor-General to suppose that Catholics would not give a true verdict accord ing to the evidence ? He had no right, and no ground farsuch asupposition; and we are persuaded, when this matter comes before Parliament, that Mr. Doherty himself will he one of the first indignantly to disclaim any intention of doubting the sacredness of a Catholic's oath. We remember when Lord Plunkett was Attorney-General, there was a trial in Green-street of some fellows for administering unlawful oaths. It was at the time of the Ribbon system, as it was called, which was spreading from the County of Kildare into the county and even into the city of Dublin. There was considerable agitation and alarm at the time. When the Jury were called, Mr.. Kemmis, the Crown Solicitor for the Leinster circuit, objected, as usual, to Catholics. He was stopped, however, immedia►ely by the At torney-General. Catholics were placed upon the Jury, and the Ribbonmen were convicted. But the very case we report this day will satisfy any reasonable man, that it was injudicious in the Crown to object to Catholics. Mr. Sheil certainly took a wise course for his clients, for the cause of justice, and, we will add, for the peace of the country. The case was as between Protestant and Catholic—the Jury were composed of Protestants and Catholics. Mr. Shiel failed in convicting the prisoner—but whit was the consequence ? that the prosecutors, the Judge, and the public were perfectly well satis fied with what was done." The following aie strictures on the mode in which the Solicitor-General conducted the trial, he having been, as Mr. Justice Moore said from the Bench, " Counsel for the prosecution and for the defence at the same time." If, he adds, " the Solicitor-General acted from instructions, then we say, and we make this declaration, too, with equal pain, Government is answerable for the consequences, whatever they may, likely to arise ,fronz the conduct which has been pur sued. The Evening Mail would insinuate— indeed it states the proposition very broadly— that we are the organ of the Government. There was a time, we confess, in which, for the sake of the country—to leave personal considerations out of the question—we should not be sorry for the imputation. We sustained occasionally, it is true, but zealously—and we have every rea son to believe with considerable success—the cause of the Government against the faction by which it was beset. In doing so, we felt we were sustaining our own cause and that of the country—that we were advocating, and in the most practical manner, the cause of Catholic Emancipation, to which the energies of our life, and our talents, such as they were, i had been pledged, almost since our boyish days. - • • • • • • • • If the Government choose to pursue what has been called the stern path of duty, by maintain ing tlt9 Protestant Ascendancy, after the Relief Bill wa4-YOsed, we really think that it would do a,wiii-tbink by making an organ of such influ -1444 4 . t 4, vecial medium of its commu ;iititti6hs.- t -,„ ! , th e world. If it have gone ,' - r4uri'4,tcY'i;the Even* Mail, as one wou l d -,.. l e d : .: to _ believq iby perusing th e recent it li cks --, 14 '. t ho jcourpal ; let the thin be known ~' and avowed. We shall then know precisely the ground. For ourselves, our path is plain. We have never been such Utopians as to expect un mixed good from any Government. But this we say, that it would be better to have a Govern ment with a distinctive character, than one that vacillates with every wind of doctrine.' " Be fore offering any observations on these state ments, we quote the following from a corres pondent of the Standard of yesterday ;—" And that Government organ (the Dublin Evening Post) goes on to account for the restoration of confidence, by stating as the reason, that they know he (Major Carter) never ordered the po lice to murder the people. The confidence of the peasantry of Tipperary,' indeed ! As well might the Government of Sydney expect con fidence from the bush-rangers, or the native aborigines, as the Irish Administration, or any who have to administer law or justice, that of the more savage, because half-civilized, barbarians of Tipperary. Munster has always been remark able for the savage atrocities there perpetrated by the most Popish (for in this, after all, will the only true cause of the difference be found) por tion of the Irish people. It is there only, and in the counties appertaining to the other pro vinces which have the geographical misfor tune to be contiguous to it, that the peasants meet at their fairs, patrons, and other places of business, and convert scenes of traffic into battle fields. It is there only that Captain Rock, or the insurgent principle under some other equally absurd denomination, has ruled for ages. It is there only that a combination against the land lord's right to dispose of his land as he pleases, becomes part of a general system in which all classes join." The case which has given rise to these comments on both sides, has nothing to do with Protestant Ascendancy. But the Landholders of Tipperary are, generally speak ing, we suppose, as in most parts of Ireland, Protestants. A system of intimidation has noto riously been acted on in Tipperary, and that sys tem, if inquired into, will be found to have its origin in a very natural cause—a desire on the part of the peasantry to exist. " The general cause of outrages (said Mr. Barrington, solici tor for the Munster Circuit) was the changing the possession of lands, one tenant being put in, and another tenant being put out." Now as we observed in commenting on this evidence, " the putting a tenant out in Ireland, is putting him out of existence." The police are unpopular in Ireland, because the police execute the law ; and the law is unpopular in Ireland, because it is an engine in the hands of the rich to destroy the poor. The " landlord's right to dispose of his land as he pleases," is resisted by a combina tion, who have a common interest of the strongest kind—no less than their lives—in pre venting him from disposing of his land as he pleases. If the landlords were Mahometans or Jews, and the tenants Catholics, there would be a Mahomedan or Jewish ascendancy ; for it is natural that landlords, hostilely opposed to the tenants, will select policemen (for in this coun try landlords and magistrates are synonirnous and the police must, ex necessitate, be creatures of the Magistrates), who sympathise with the tenants as little as possible. But it is an abuse of terms to call this a Protestant Ascendancy in a religious sense ; it is a landholder ascendancy, accidentally Protestant, as it might have been Catholic or Jewish. Now, with respect to the trials of the policemen, we have no hesitation in saying, that Government dared not commit the policemen to the chance of a conviction. The police officers either did or did not misconduct ,hemselves. It was the business of Government to institute an inquiry with a view to ascertain how the facts stood. If the result of such inquiry proved that the officers misconducted themselves, they ought at once to have been abandoned by Government to theirfate. But if the result showed that they were innocent, then it was the duty of Government to protect them, and not to join in proceedings against them which, if conducted as in England, would, in all probability, end in their condemnation. The Dublin Evening Post talks of Catholic and Protestant Jurors. 'Would it be safe, in a case of such extent as that at Borris-o'kane, in Ca- tholic Jurors to acquit the Police men ? Where there intimidation it of course extends to all who can be intimidated ; and we should suppose the feeling of the peasantry against a Catholic Juror or witness against them would be stronger than against a Protestant Juror or witness, be cause he would be looked on as an apostate or traitor. Jury trials in a county like Tipperary are a farce, and a cruel farce—laying, as they do, a foundation for endless vengeance. Mr. Do herty, in his evidence on the Irish Estimates, says—" In that same case which I allude to, after a vast deal of trouble to bring the prosecu tion to bear, in the course of the preliminary examination it became necessary to send to the borders of the Queen's County and the County of Tipperary, to get a witness who was referred to by the evidence of one of the approvers, as to an apparently immaterial fact, which would be very valuable in corroborating the approver. A Police Officer was sent at night and brought him to my room ; the man came into the room and utterly denied every thing upon the subject ; he refused to give evidence ; he was a very respectable-looking man, ap parently of the better class of farmers ; and when he was urged very strongly to give evidence, he burst out crying, and said, If the book is put to me, I will not perjure myself, I will speak the truth ; but I must make up my soul, for I shall be murdered when I return.' He was one of thoSe who was told he should be provided for, he was obliged to give up his farm in the county, and I never saw a man suffer more in giving evi dence, under the idea of being obliged to give up his farm." Such being the state of things, a fair jury trial is of course quite impossible. The Legislature ought to interfere to give the people protection by law ; but, till that is done, those who execute the law must be hated by the people. In the mean time, Government are bound to execute the law ; and were they to abandon men, whom they know to be innocent, to the chance of a jury trial under such circum stances, they will commit felo-de-se. What we like the worst in this business is Mr. Doherty's joining in the farce of prosecuting the policemen, after he knew they were innocent. No doubt precautions were taken to guard against convic tion. But it is this trickery, which runs through all the proceedings of this country, that w e dis like.—Morning Chronicle. We recently took the liberty of making a few remarks upon the method adopted by the Irish Chief Baron of disposing of prisoners accused of violating females. His Lordship's plan appears to be to marry the delinquent to the prosecutor, thereby saving the trouble of a trial, and, in case of a verdict of guilty, the expence and disagree ableness of an execution. This may be, for aught we know, all very well in Popish coun tries) but a Protestant Judge ought to know that such proceedings could not take place in a Protestant nation, and that they are, in short, contrary to the doctrines of his own religion, and to the laws which it is his duty to administer. The idea of permitting a man to marry a woman on whom lie had inflicted one of the most atro cious injuries, and for which he ought to be ha►►ged, is monstrous. Nor is the injustice of the case less towards the man, on the supposi tion of his being wrongfully accused. In such marriages the man must be a criminal deserving of death, or the woman a perjurer deserving of the pillory. Truly these unions are little ac cordant with the Divine precept—" Those whom God has joined together let no man put asun der ;" for the joining is brought about by wrong and violence, and the work of the Spirit of Goodness is superseded by the Spirit of Evil. These marriages, as they are begun in folly, are conducted with levity; but levity is a circum stance of too frequent occurrence in Irish Courts, nor is the indecorum always irradiated by any flashes of wit or humour. Let the reader take the following instance : In the case of Jones v. Gustavus Meredith War ner, in the County Record Court, on Friday, the following dialogue took place between the Court, Dr. Harris, of Dunmanway, a witness, and Mr. O'Connell : Mr. O'CoNNELL—WeII, my fine old buck, you have got married lately ? Dr. HARRIS—If I have, what is that to you ? (Laughter.)—When you come to my age you will not be able to marry; and if I had you in a room I would floor you.—(Loud laughter, whilst the old gentleman went through some boxing attitudes.) COURT—Doctor, Mr. O'Connell is not aware that a few days ago I tried a man of seventy years of age for a rape. Mr. O'CoNNELL—Ah, ah, my old buck, do you hear that ? I suppose we will have you peeping over the rails some time or another. Dr. HARRIS—Don't be badgering me any longer. Good bye, gentlemen. Mr. O'CONNELL—Oh, good bye, my old buck. Nothing can be more frolicsome, and at the same time more dull, than all this. We see here the manners of the bear-garden without the vivacity or humour which may enliven, though it cannot excuse, coarse deviations from pro priety. In another part of our Paper it will be found that Mr. O'Connell stated, at a dinner at Cork the other day, that " he saw, while a human being was on trial for a capital felony, the Judge asleep, an attorney examining three wit nesses at once, the Jury cheapening plums and ' apples with a fruit-woman, and one of them reading a newspaper." This is a Dutch pic ture which we should like to see from the pencil of some modern Jan Stein. But nobody who wears a wig is more apt to introduce levity into a Court of Law than the Learned Gentleman who has thus set up for the office of arbiter elegan tiarurn of the Cork Assizes. Judges, who take a comfortable nap upon the judgment-seat while a poor wretch stands upon his deliverance of , life or death, cannot be defended upon any prin ciple of humanity or law—but Barristers who ' abuse their privilege to make dull jokes upon witnesses, are no less deserving of censure. Surely Government ought to be able to fill ju dicial situations with members of the profession who are capable of preserving the dignity of the Bench, and who have energy enough to prevent Barristers from conducting themselves in a man ner not at all in keeping with the decorum of a Court of Justice.—Morning Herald. At the Westminster Sessions yesterday, a woman was tried for stealing a quart pot. A watchman proved that he saw the prisoner take it and conceal it under her apron, and accord ingly took her, very properly, into custody. In this stage of the business the Chairman stopped the case, observing, " that if people left pots in the public streets and left no one to look after them, it was too much if they were stolen to call upon the Court to treat such an offence as a felony." With great deference to the Chairman, we cannot consider it any thing else than a felony to all intents and pur poses. The owner of the article did not leave it in the street, and we cannot conceive either on what grounds he should be deprived of his property, or the thief not only escape, but having been acquitted, have a right to claim the article as her own. We apprehend that the precedent will prove a very dangerous one, and lead to many other thefts not so easily and sum marily dealt with ; for shopkeepers, brokers, and others, whu expose their goods at their doors for sale, have, on the principle advanced by the Chairman, no remedy in case of their property being stolen. If, for instance, the Chairman or any other gentleman, left his horse in the street while he stepped into a house for a moment to speak to a friend, and the animal was stolen, would it not be considered a theft ? This is a parallel case, and if not a felony, we know not what is.—Morning Advertiser. RARA AvlS.—Mr. WILMA N 1 BROOKES, of Tattershall, has new in his possession a bird of the black bird species, which has been till lately quite of a salmon colour. Within the last few days its feathers have fallen off, and the new ones are perfectly white. It was taken from a nest last June, with three others, which were, as usual, black.—Drakard's Stamford News. A clergyman who officiates in the diocese of Winchester, was lately complained of by some of his pa r;shioners, that he the said vicar preached sermons no exceeding 15 minutes in length. The Bishop admonished the clergyman to preach sermons of a greater length. The obedient vicar, on the next Sunday, preached a sermon two hours long, which set all the congregation gaping.— On the ensuing Sunday, after reading the lessons, he re tired and placed the keys in his pocket, and ascending the pulpit, informed his audience of the fact, that he should preach to them for three hours. This he did, and his hearers afterwards besought him to return to his pristine mode of preaching.— Cheltenlaam Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF STOLEN FAULT. —A goat, the property of a miller in Durham, and remarkable for its playful vivacity, was observed one day last week to be more than usually sportive, and on being watched was seen to leap up several times at one particu lar part of a haystack, as though a more savoury mouth ful was there to he obtained than in any other portion of the stack. At length the instinctive animal succeeded, and drawing out the hay he aimed at it, its removal was followed by so heavy a shower of apples (supposed to have been stolen and concealed there), that the poor goat scam pered off in dismay. Some pigs, not so easily intimidated, soon afterwards approached the stack, and sans ceremonie, commenced a most determined attack upon the apples, which, under the activity of their masticators, soon disap peared ! York Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY VORACITY OF A SHARK. —When the present Rear-Admiral Sir HENRY HEATH COTE commanded the Galatea frigate on the West India station he happened to have on board, as his own cook, a black man, who had in the same capacity served Lord NELSON. Poor Sambo sickened and died, and was, with the usual honours of sepulture, committed to the bosom of the deep, encased in his hammock. In a day two the th e e lmn remainspany' who, on ripping of poor Galatea sailed on a cruise , a nd aft er an absence of three months returned to Jamaica , and let go her anchor about the same spot she had before occupied. Soon after a large shark w u as p taken tiie mboyn m onster, discovered of th e slt ip's Sambo, the cook, enclosed in his maw, whose identity was proved beyond a doubt by the number of his hammock and a pair of silver shirt buttons which he was known to have worn. These shirt buttons were presented by Sir H. HZATHCOTE to the hero of Acre, Sir SIDNEY SMITH.-- The whole of it was recorded in the log-book of the Galatea. THE BANK CHARTER.

CORONER'S INQUEST AT PLYMOUTH An inquest was held on Saturday last by JOHN ROBINS, Esq. at the Queen's Head, on the body of Elizabeth Hamlyn Pike, a remarkably fine young woman, aged twenty-three, who died at half-past three that morning, in consequence of having taken an the preceding evening an ounce of arsenic. The first witness examined was Caroline Pike, sister of the deceased, who deposed as follows :—I am sister of the deceased, who is twenty-three years of age, and resides with me in Vauxhall-street. My father and mother reside in Catherine-street ; my mother is matron of the Green School. The deceased was a person of a great flow of spirits, and I never ob served her to be either dejected, or at any time dis ordered or affected in mind or intellect, although she had frequently said she would destroy herself if I would do so likewise, but without assigning any reason for so doing. About nine o'clock yesterday morning, deceased and I went, as we usually did, to our father's to breakfast. She was very cheerful, and in good health and spirits. About ten o'clock we returned, and my sister immediately sat down to her piano-forte, and played several tunes, all of a lively character, with the exception of one, which she played at my particular request. Whilst playing she turned round and said—" Caroline you'll soon have my clothes, and every time you put them on you'll thi►►k of me, my dear sister; and likewise the piano -forte will be yours, and the waltzes : when you come to play them you'll always think of me !" I replied, if such were the case, I would never play them afterwards. She went out at three o'clock, and remained about an hour. I watched her going out, and saw her enter my cousin's, in Looe-street, where I have since learned she bor rowed a shilling. When she returned, she was very cheerful and lively, and again went to the piano, and played several times. About seven she went out to see an acquaintance, but returned in a quar ter of an hour after. The witness then proceeded to state that her sister was visited in the course of the evening by two acquaintances, one a lady, and the other a young gentleman named Boulter, who had been with her several times in the course of the day—that she was equally cheerful and collected till the time of her illness, which happened about nine, soon after which her mother was sent for, and the deceased was taxed with having taken something : she denied it so strenuously that they did not send for a medical man till eleven, who, in conjunction with deceased's mother and sister, urged her to tell ►hem if she had taken any thing to cause her illness. She replied, " No, I have not," although she had been complaining, previously to the arrival of Mr. Tripe, the medical gentleman, of a great pain in her side, and a burning sensation in the stomach. She expired at half-past three on the following (Satur day) morning. The witness then concluded by stat►ng that she was with her the whole of the day, with the exception of the two intervals above men tioned, and deceased neither ate nor drank any thing after dinner, which was between one and two o'clock, till the time of her sickness—although, on recollection, she stated that deceased had taken two apples; the witness then concluded her evidence with these words—" My sister was perfectly sane, and has never shown any symptoms or indications of aberration of mind." Mrs. Jane Reed, in whose house deceased resided, was the next witness examined, and her evidence confirmed most fully the testimony of the sister, as to the perfect sanity of deceased. J. H. Boulter, son of the parish-clerk of St. An drew's, was the next witness examined ; he knew the deceased well, and was in the habit of visiting her; was with her yesterday (Friday) afternoon, when, in the course of conversation, deceased said, r, I a m going away, Master Boulter;" " Where to ?" he asked ; she replied, " To Heaven, I hope."— Being, however, in good health and spirits, he took no notice of it; and at his request she played seve ral tunes on the piano. The evidence of this wit ness was detailed at great length, but nothing was elicited to shew that the deceased was of unsound mind. Mr. T. Tripe, surgeon, detailed the symptoms of her illness, and the energy with which she denied having taken any thing to p ro d ace h er ill ness. H e had no doubt, since her death, that she had taken poison. The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, com mented at great length on the total absence of any proof of insanity, when, to his surprise, the jury re turned the verdict—."

ASTRONOMY. OCCULTATIONS OF STARS BY THE MOON DURING TEE MONTH OP SEPTEMBER. MONDAY, SEPT. 7.—A star of the sixth or seventh magnitude, whose right ascension is 18 hours 7 minutes, and declination 19 degrees 1 minute south, will be eclipsed by the moon's dark limb at 4 minutes after 9 (Greenwich time) in the evening ; it will emerge from the bright limb at 15 minutes after 10 ; the angles of im mersion and emersion being 116 and 299 degrees respectively. 2dly. A star of the seventh magnitude, right ascension 18 hours 8 minutes, declination 18 degrees 51 minutes south, will pass behind the dark limb at 14 minutes after nine, and will re appear at the bright limb at 37 minutes past ten; angles of disappearance and re-appearance being 157 and 268. FRIDAY, SEPT. 11.—The star 919 of Mayer, will undergo occultation by the dark limb at 36 minutes after eleven, and will emerge at the bright limb at 31 minutes after midnight, at angles of 84 and 347. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 16.—A star of the sixth magnitude, right ascension three hours, two minutes, declination 12 degrees, 32 minutes north, will immerse behind the bright limb at 42 minutes after midnight, and will re-appear at the dark limb at 31 minutes after one in the morn ing of Thursday, the 17th ; angles of immersion and emersion being 123 and 219. 2dly. The star Piazzi 111. 4, will be eclipsed by the bright limb at 38 minutes after midnight, and will emerge from the dark limb at 47 minutes after 1 ; points of immersion and emersion being 85 and 260. As telescopes which give an erect image of the object viewed are rarely used for astronomi cal purposes, it has been thought right to aban don the ordinary mode of reckoning the points of immersion arid emersion by references to the real vertex and real western limb of the moon, and to adopt in its stead the apparent vertex and the apparent western limb, as presented to us by the achromatic telescope, furnished with two eye-glasses ; or, as the combination is usually termed, an astronomical eye-piece. Thus the angles above given become immediately appli cable to instrumental manipulation ; the moon's apparent vertex being considered zero, or point of departure, and her apparent western limb the course of measuring round the circumference. CRIMES OF A BAVARIAN PRIEST. A trial for murder of a very singular and hor rible kind, before the Supreme Criminal Court in B:tvaria, has just terminated. The trial oc cupied no less than four years, and the pleadings and documents amounted to forty-two volumes : the criminal was examined one hundred times, and it was only at the last examinations that a confession of his guilt was wrung from him. Riembauer, the criminal, was born in the lowest rank ; but at a very early age gave marks of an intellect of a superior order. His ambition was to enter the ecclesiastical state ; and through the medium of the curate of his native village, Ran derstadt, he was enabled to gratify it. Riem bauer was born in 1770 ; at the age of fourteen he was admitted to the Lyceum of Ratisbon, where his conduct and progress were exemplary rapid ; in 1795 he was ordained a priest, and performed the duties of assistant-vicar in dif ferent villages ; in 1807 be underwent, with much honour to himself, an examination for a curacy ; in 1808 he was appointed curate of Priel ; and in 1810 be was promoted to the curacy of Randerstadt. Riembauer carried his customary zeal to the exercise of his sacred duties ; in the performance of which he was ap parently as sincere as he was punctual. His sermons were eloquent ; his denunciations of vice severe and frequent. It is not wonderful that, so accomplished and gifted as he I,as, with an elegant person and seductive manners, Riem bauer should be looked on by the country people as a saint of the first water. The crimes with . which Riembauer was charged were chiefly in continency. He had a child by the curate of Huskerchen's cook-maid ; another by Anne Marie Eichlaetter, the curate of Hernsheim's servant ; a third by a milliner of his acquaint ance ; a fourth by another curate's serving-maid ; a fifth by Madeline Frauenkneicht,--whose father he swindled out of 5,000 florins, and whom, together with her mother, he poisoned ; and lastly, he had several more children by Ann Weinegar, his last kitchen-maid. With all his victims he performed a marriage ceremony at the altar. The crime for which he was at length ar rested was the murder of Anne Marie Eichlaet ter. The girl had importuned him on several occasions for money, and threatened, on being refused, to expose him. She was induced to visit him at the house of the farmer Frauenk neicht, and was there murdered by him. Whilst the monster was in the act of cutting the unhappy girl's throat, Catherine, the youngest daughter of Frauenkneicht, happened to peep through the key-hole, and observing what was going on, called her mother and sister Madeleine to witness the scene of hlood. The mother was anxious to denounce the murderer ; but on his expressing profound repentance, and threatening to commit suicide, she was induced to bury the transaction in silence. Shortly after this murder, Madeleine and her mother fell sick, Riembauer compounded their medicine, and they died—the one within five days of the other. Catherine, who was twelve years of age at the period of the murder, became subject to fits of melancholy, and to con vulsions, from its effects on her imagination ; and at length, unable to retain the secret, told it to her confessor, with the other particulars ofl Riembauer's conduct. The confessor, who thought to turn the confession to Catherine's pecuniary advantage, wrote (in Latin) the fol lowing letter to the poisoner of her mother and sister, and robber of her father :—" A case has been submitted to me which you alone can solve.' A certain man, whom you well know, owes a certain stranger somewhere about 5,000 florins. If your conscience be awake, pay this debt. If you do not answer within four weeks you may tremble for the consequences." No answer was returned, and Riembauer was accordingly de nounced. Among other particulars, Catherine stated, that Anne Marie Eichlaetter had a pe culiarly fine set of teeth ; and after her deposition was taken, in a closet where the body had been" deposited a skeleton with a case of teeth as de scribed, was discovered. In the confession of the criminal, it is worthy of remark, that be de fended himself on that dogma of the Jesuits, — that it is allowable to kill anothe r if t h ere b e no other means of saving one's honour or good re-; nown ; the fallacy of which Pascal has so trium phantly shown. " I also (h e says ) recollected t h a t other principle of th e J esu it s , " th a t th e i end sanctifies the means." 1 reflect upon thei great evils that the p u bli c scan d a l with whir l,; Anne Marie menaced . me would causeto.thei people and to my s a cr e d profession, and I said ,to myself, " if a priest of such unblemished Fe . ; putation were found to be a sinner, gr ea t would the detriment thereof be to religion ;" therefor? , as there were no other means of avoiding public scandal but by the death of Anne Marie, and that this death tended to produce a laudable re' stilt, I do not think that I have acted criminally' for my intentions were pure, and ad majoras Dei Gloriam. Moreover, before killing Ann! Marie, I exhorted her to repent of her sins, and I gave her absolution." This holy ruffian has. been condemned to imprisonment for a n unh mited time. SUMMER ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT—GLOUCESTER, SEPT. 3. Peter illeggett and Robert Evans were indicted for burglariously entering the house of Thomas Hate ten, at Coleford, on the night of the 24th of May last, and stealing therefrom a quantity of drapery and mercery goods. Mr. Serjeant TADDY summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty against both the prisoners.—Sentence of death recorded. CHESTER CIRCUIT-CHESTER, Szrr. 3. Josiah Thornton (18) was indicted for bigamy. The prisoner was a native of Brinniegton, and kept company with a young woman named Ann Knowles, who, becoming pregnant by him, was removed by the parish officers to her own settlement, Matlock , Derbyshire. The overseer of Matlock hearing that the prisoner was about to be married to another to' man, caused him to be apprehended, when he con' sewed to a union with Knowles, and the ceremony was performed in Matlock parish church, after two or three drops of rum had been given him to keep up his spirits, on the 11th of July, in the presence of the overseer and constable. On the 13th of July the prisoner again intermarried at the Collegiate church, Manchester, with Hannah Pearson, the young woman to whom he had paid his addresses, after abandoning Knowles, and on the 14th was a ppre.. hended at Britinington.—Verdict, Guilty. Sentence, —two years' imprisonment and hard labour. John Hoyle (18), John Hats:hall (20), and John Taylor (21), were indicted for feloniously shooting at Thomas Foster, on the night of the 23d of DP comber last. The prisoners formed part of a regular gang of poachers, and were out on the night in question inn a lane near the lands of Mr. Assheton and 'Squire Egerton, at Ashley. The prosecutor was one of the gamekeepers in the employ of the, Earl of Stamford and Warrington. A verdict- ar guilty was returned against Hanshall and Taylor , and Royle was acquitted.—Sentence deferred. It was proved that Hoyle had left the party befors the firing commenced. WESTERN CIRCUIT-BRISTOL, SEPT. S. HERBERT, ASSIGNEE, V. KNIGHT AND JOYCE. This was an action to recover a sum of m oneY obtained by the defendants from an insolvent, of the name of Knight, to the prejudice of his other creditor , . After a long but unimportant trial, the Jury pro nounced a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 301' 4s. 9d. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LANCASTER, Styr. S. Joseph Clemmett was indicted for having in Ng possession at Great Bolton, on the 1 1th of April last, without lawful excuse, one forged Bank of England note, for the payment of 5/., knowing the same to be forged. Verdict, Guilty.—Fourteen years' transportation• The prisoner, it was said, is well connected, and has for a long time successfully practised in the dis• posal of forged notes. Many traps have been set far his detection, but he always managed to avoid them until the occasion detailed above. William Caxon was capitallyipdicted for felo' niously cutting and maiming John Cropper, w ith intent to kill him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Judgment of death was recorded, but the Learned Judge intimated that it was probable a mitigated sentence would be passed. Co RON ER'S N QUE ST.—Yesterday an inquest was held at Mrs. KEENE's, the Savoy Palace, Savoy" street, Strand, before Mr. limos, the Coroner for Wes!" minster, on the body of GRIFFITU ROBERTS, the Captai n of a Welch slate vessel, who fell overboard on the 269' ult., at Hersleydown, and whose body was not found 01 yesterday at DUPRE'S Wharf, Savoy. The Jury returned a verdict—" Found Drowned." A perfectly white starling has lately been seen in the neighbourhood of Holt, Norfolk, several time*, an d with it a pied one. They are generally seen in company with several hundred others in the same flock. Severa l attempts have been made to shoot them, hut hitherto 0 0 1 have escaped.—Drakard's Stamford News. LIBERALITY IN A BISHOP.—The following' instance of liberality and justice in a high dignitary of th e , Church, affords a strong contrast to the proceedings 0 ' many other Spiritual Peers :—The Lord Bishop of DO" HAM has inserted the names of Sir CARNABY HAGGSIV STON, Bart., GEORGE SILVERTOP, Esq., BERTRAII OR°' Esq , and W. T. SALVIN, E.q., Roman Catholic g entle' men, in the Commission of the Peace for that couorr i , ; thus evincing, that though his Lordship conscientie o " , ,„, opposed the late Parliamentary measure in its progresstr i is liberally disposed to admit it into full operation novt tP ti it has passed into a law. A most melancholy occurrence took Or, at Marazion on Wednesday morning. Between hours of eight and nine o'clock, Mr. WILLIAM 11110 6 ,. 1 : surgeon, of that place, shot himself in his garden. 1.1 "" fatal instrument used was a fowling-piece, which he Or trived to discharge so as to shoot himself through the bed' The unfortunate gentleman had previously exhibited fe l ' toms of a disordered mind. —Exeter Flying Post. Owing to the vast burial places of the Turks the universal silence and air of desolation which mark th e approach to Constantinople impress the mind of th e traveller with painful and gloomy feelings ; he seems be entering upon a scene of death, or one laid waste ill pestilence, or some other great national calamity. The extent of the recent failures in the woollen trade is said to be greater than was at first apprehended''' . The claims en only a few of the houses exceed 800,0001. Many compositions have been already made, and others have been proposed. Basinghall-.street swarms w ith country lawyers who have flocked to town in the hope getting profitable jobs. If the assets on these est l l should be 4s. in the pound (and it is believed they 0 " not average 2s. 6d. under the most favourable of arrange ments), the lawyers will, under commissions, swallow 0 P at least 50,0001. of it.

(From the Journal des Debats of Monday.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) LISBON, JULY 11.—The widow of M. Meudes, of Viseu, was arrested at' Coimbra, and thrown into the dungeons of our capital. As she is one of the richest persons of the kingdom, they had, in order to get posSession of her fortune, accused her of hav ing aided and abetted, by means of her wealth and credit, all the revolutions of Portugal since 1820. This respectable lady has been claimed by the cri minal tribunal of Oporto, which has sent so many unfortunate creatures to the scaffold and the gallies, for trial and condemnation. The physicians at Lis bon certified that she could not be removed .without extreme danger of life; yet the Government gave orders for her instant removal : but as the inhabitants of Lisbon, who knew what was going on, began to murmur aloud, the Government managed so as to prevent a disturbance. They therefore, . yestet day morning, at a very early hour, sent off Madame de Mendes, though in a dying state, to Oporto, under a strong escort of soldiers. Rims, JULY 25.—We long since announced the injunction addressed by the English Consul-General to the Greek Government, requiring the recall of its victorious troops from the territory so dearly wrested from the Turks, and we have also spoken of the re fusal of Count Capo d'lstria. We have now re ceived, through an authentic channel, the two fol lowing official noses of this Correspondence, and we hasten to lay them before our readers.

GEORGE ROBINS respectfully 111- makes known, that an apology is due to the mul titudinous applicants, who have lately had to wait for their commands being immediately attended to. The ex citement produced by this remedy for the wretched, im pure, and filthy water, supplied from the Thames, must be his excuse, and when it is added that 1,200 Filters have been ordered during the last fortnight, it is believed no further excuse for delay will he required. To his Agents, thoughout England, Ireland, and Scotland, he flatters him self the above will be found a satiilactor reason for the delay they have recently complained of. A refervncb to the opinions of all the eminent men of the profession in London, renders it superfluous to add their high testimony to the 'loyal Filter for remedying all the impu• ities and ehrystallizing foul water. The following will be sufficient for the present pur pose : Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, the author of the " Treatise on Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the sight, and the effluvia to affect the senses." And he thus concludes—" We sneer," says the doctor, "at the delicacy of the llindoo, who slakes his thirst at the same tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; but what shall we say to the delicate citizens of Westmin ster, who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou sand cloacce, containing EVERY SPECIES OF FILTH AND ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily disgorging their hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro polis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity will shudder, if they can credit it." Dr. h ERRISON makes us acquainted with a fact, the perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel ;n narrating it. On in• specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital, he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rane lagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED FLOATING FILTH FROM PRIVIES;" from which be con cludes, that " a considerable quantity of human excre ment, in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually passes into our cisterns." THE PORTABLE FILTERS, Possessing all the advantages of purifying and rendering chrystal the worst water, may be obtained at the following prices:— 2 Gallon Size, purifying 12 Gallons per day Qss. 3 Ditto ditto 18 Ditto 6 Ditto...handsomely ornamented, 40 Ditto 425. 9 Ditto 65 Ditto. sss. 2 Ditto 90 Ditto. The Royal Filter, upon this plan, will chrystallize and purify as much water in the course of the day as the la►gest consumption of a family can desire. There are also Portable Cisterns, capable of filtering from 200 to 500 gallons, every 24, hours. These can be sent to any part of the country. The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera tion, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentee, George Robins, Ne. 69, Strand, opposite the Ade lphi Theatre, where Orders are requested to he addressed. Its exterior has long been the subject of unvarying ap probation, while the interior presents a model of perfection well worthy of imitation. The altitude of the principal building admits of the most effective scenic operations, faci lit tted by the application of the most approved mechanism. The stage is extensive, the auditory capacious, and the cor ridors and saloon splendid and commodious, the tout en semble combining every thing which great taste and con summate skill could accomplish. Also, THE VALUABLE PATENT, INSURING THE EX CLUSIVE RIGHT OF PERFORMING DRAMA- TIC REPRESENTATIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF DUBLIN, and possessing a most important additional feature, that its performances are not subject to THE CONTROUL OF A LICENSER; ' and there is an express Act of Parliament of George 111. restricting any minor Theatre from acting_ ragedy, Comely, Opera, or Interlude, under a most severe penalty, and en forced by a very summary and not expensive process. This extensive Property stands upon nearly One Acre of Land, and in the best situation in Dublin, near to the College, and in the heart of the City. The grount rent is 5641. 45., and the taxes do not exceed 100/., so that this annusl expenditure would scarcely exceed one great night's re ceipt; and it will be observed ; as a most remarkable fact connected with theatrical history, that by means of the profit rental produced by other property included in the lease, IT IS ENTIRELY RENT FREE, It was comp!eted in the year 1821, under the superintend ence of Mr. Beazeley, and the cost, under a very econo mical arrangement, exceeded 125,0001. THE PATENT FOR THIS THEATRE ROYAL is granted for 21 years, (the longest period that one can be given) and is renewable for ever, and consequently equal to a freehold tenure, unless forfeited by gross misconduct. It is submitted that enough has been stated to justify Mr. Robins in calling the special attention of those who are alive to the great profits attendant upon a theatrical pro perty to embark in a purchase, that, with moderate exertion, a talented man cannot fail of success. Printed particulars are preparing, and may be had 20 days prior to the sale, at Morrison's and the principal Hotels in Dublin and Cork ; the Waterloo, Liverpool ; and the best Hotels at Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, and York ; at the Offices of Meisrs.

The house might be easily adapted to a Gentleman's occupation, and the farm buildings are very appropriate and well situated, together with ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES OF RICA MEADOW LAND. The property may be assimilated to . a Park, abounding with full grown timber, and possessing in a rare degree (by means of the regularity of the grounds) extended and pie turesque views of the rich surrounding country; on lease to Mr. David Warl for an unexpired term of eight years, at a low rent of 2801. per annum. The Estate may be viewed until the sale by permission of the Tenant; and particulars had at the Inns at Watford, Barnet, Elstree, and Stanmore; at the Offices of Messrs.

THE WHITWELL ESTATE, IN YORKSHIRE, Always esteemed as one of the most eligible, and compact in the county—it includes Nine Farms of One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty-seven Acres of Uncommonly Fine Land—the Farm Houses of a Superior Class—the Entire Village of Whitwell—the Whole Lordship—and the Whitwell Inn and Posting-house. The Rental nearly 3,000/. a• year. R. GEORGE ROBINS has great satis faction in announcing that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on THURSDAY, the 13th of August, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, a highly important and singularly desirable FREEHOLD PROPERTY. It comprehends THE WHITWELL ESTATE, WITH THE WHOLE LORDSHIP AND ENTIRE VILLAGE, desirably situate twelve miles only from York, and on the direct road to SCARBOROUGH, (a fashionable and much-frequented WATERING PLACE,) and Marlton and Whitby. The Estate embraces so many and such important qua lifications, that it will be impossible to compress them in the confined limits of an advertisement. Enough, how ever, will be said, it is apprehended, to enlist the serious and immediate attention of the great Capitalists, and more especially those whose property is in the Funds; for it will not be doubted that the exceedingly high price must ren der a re-action at no distant period quite certain, and the very cause which necessarily will diminish the one will in crease in the exact proportion the value of Land, and espe cially such an Estate as the one now presented, to which the most sceptical could not hazard an objection. It includes NINE FARMS CONTAINING 1557 ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND, PRODUCING NEARLY THREE THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR, With Farm-Houses and Buildings as may safely challenge rivalry.—The tenantry are not merely respectable and of long standing, but contented and affluent. To demonstrate this assertion, it is only necessary to add, there is not, nor has there been, even in times (happily gone by) of Agri cultural distress, a solitary arrear of Rent; to which may be added, it possesses the great desideratum of being FREE FROM TYTHE, and EXTRA-PAROCHIAL. The Residence is of an unobtrusive character, it pretends not to a comparison with its mighty neighbouring compeer, the EARL OF CARLISLE'S AT CASTLE-HOWARD, although it does not yield to it in internal comfort. —From the Terrace walk the views are indescribably beautiful, and a Panorama is presented, equalling in its extent and varied scenery, any thing in this favoured country; the prescribed space forbids a lengthened detail. The magnifi cent Minster at York, the Ruins of Sheriff-Hutton and Crake Castle, are the most prominent. The more distant view extends far beyond Harrogate, and is terminated only by the range of Yorkshire Hills. Such is the faint and imperfect outline of the advantages exclusively belonging to the Whitwell Estate; and it m a y be observed, in con li clusion, that it offers one of the most eligible and safe in vestments that has ever been offered to unreserved com petition. The WHIT WELL INN and POSTING-NOUSE, A most comfortabl e abode, and the first stage from York to Scarb waugh, forms a part of this valuable Estate. It can be viewed until the sale, by application to Mr. Jacob Stubbs (one of the respectabM tenants;) and particul a rs, with Lithographic plans annexed may be h a d a t ( one prior to th e S a l e , a t sEhtirlliidngge'se.alciloilel,,)t'avnertYl:e6neßladeakys Swan, York; the Bull Hotel, Scarborough ; the New Talbot, Mahon ; the Angel, Doncaster ; the White Horse, Tadcaster ; the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool ; of Messrs.

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, London, on TlluasnAY, August 6, at Twelve, in One Lot, by direction of the Mortgagee, A Very compact and desirable Estate, the I]L greater portion of it Freehold, and the remainder Leasehold fur 1,000 years; it is desirably situate about five miles from the excellent MARKET TOWN OF BICESTER, and three miles from the Village of Brill; it is 1 . 4 from Oxford, 15 from Aylesbury,. an 150 from London. This Property has ken farmed by the Proprietor for a I,►ng period, and he has consumed a great mmy hundred pounds in improving the land and the agricultural buildings, which are necessarily of the best description. The whole is in good order for a tenant's occupation. To a sporting man this Property holds out unusual temptation ; it adjoins the well-known preserves of the late SIR JOHN AUBREY,IIart., and SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER, and it is within a mile of the CELEBRATED DECOY POND AT BORSTALL, which is the resort of all kirk of 41 fowl. The Estate is tithe-free, aa it regards the Freehold on payment of 4 composition of 205., and the rtinainiog part is f.•;.e from great tithes ; the Vicarial are cnnwouniled for at 265. a year; there is no other out.going beside the land-tax, which is 5/. 64. 10d. ; this Property is consequently re commended as a very safe and a lvantageous investment on a limited scale.

From some accounts which have appeared in the Papers, relative to the case of Butler, Mar telli, and Conway, who were executed on Mon day, it would 'appear that it was the general im pression that Butler was innocent of the crime of which he had been found guilty (that of set ting fire to the floor-cloth manufaCtory of Messrs. Downing, at Chelsea). It must strike every body who read the trial, that the declarations of innocence made by this young man were with out foundation; and we have taken pains to as certain whether the Sheriffs, from what they had observed in the course of their conversations with him, had formed favourable opinions of the un fortunate convict. He a;Teared to he so pious, so resigned, and had conducted himself with such decency up to the moment of the com mencement of the preparations for the execution of the law, that he became an object of . great compassion. Mr. Sheriff Copeland having heard him repeatedly say that he was not guilty of setting fire to the manufactory, suspected that he made a mental reservation, an d th a t h e con sidered himself justified in declaring himself in nocent of setting the premises in a blaze, be cause he happened not to apply the match. It has been ascertained that there were two other persons concerned, and to this extent Butler might have Leen unconcerned ; but it is as cer tain as that he is now no more, that he was a party to the transaction. "Do you persist in your declaration of innocence ?" said the She riff to him. "I am innocent of setting fire to the premises, Sir," replied th e conv i ct. " Were you not concerned in the crime ?" said the She riff. "I never set fire to the place," repeated Butler, who invariably adhered to this mode of contradiction ; but would not venture, deeply impressed as he was with religio,vis fears, to deny a knowledge of the commission of th e offence. In addition to tie evidence produced on the trial of this person, testimony has boon given to prove that he had been on tbcx premises at three o'clock on the morning of the day on which the fire burst forth. 'A man and hiS wife, who reside in a house . close to th e b u ildi ng , were awa k ened at that hour in the morning by a blackbird, which they had forgotten to feed at night, and as the bird uttered his notes in a anti• querulous tone, they could tlot get a wink o'f''icep, if they „ - did not attend to his .summons.

His reply is a model of dignity, propriety, and good sense. While all Greece, through the instrumentality of her President, revolts at the stipulations of London, the Sultan, who would not have even a shadow of liberty in Greece, has resumed his old language with our negociators. The unfavotirable events of the•war have not rendered hiM either more docile or conciliatory, and the conferences are recommenc ing at Constantinople with concessions on the one part, but with the same obstinacy on the other. Many judicious persons therefore already anticipate the unqualified rejection of the new propositions. Were we wrong in regretting for Greece and for ourselves a sacrifice offered in vain? And could we imagine that the event would so soon justify our melancholy forebodings Such is always the fate of half measures. The framers of the protocol flattered themselves that they were extinguishing a conflagration. Would to God that they may not have extended its progress. " NOTE ADDRESSED BY MR.

Porte rejects once more in principle the mediation which was offered to it by the treaty of the Gth of July. .4 In resting upon an armistice de facto, which is in reality nothing more than a defensive attitude re vocable at plearnre,—in declaring on its side, and upon that basis the cessation of hostilities, the Greek Government would depart from the prin ciples laid down in the said treaty, and would at the same time contract an engagement which it would not be in its power to fulfil. - It is ignorant of the extent of territory guaranteed by the alliance, seeing that the protocol of the IGth November, 1528, Avhich Mr. Dawkins mentions, has never been com municated to it ; but even though that communica tion had been made to it in due season, it would deem itself to have failed in good faith and loyalty, which alone can entitle it to the confidence of the august Allied Sovereigns, by placing before their eyes the real state of affairs, it had not proved to them that it was not in its power at the end of last year, as it never will be, to transport by an act of authority, into the heart of the Peloponnestis and the adjacent islands, the miserable population of the provinces situate beyond the Isthmus of Corinth. " These provinces, as well as those of the Pelo- Po•mesus and the islands, contracted in the hour of trial and misfortune a solemn engagement never to separate their cause. These engagements are con firmed by public acts under a double sanction,—the sanction of national congresses, and the still more inviolable ones of oaths. " Can the Greek Government, whose only power is founded on these same acts, infringe them by establishing a line of separation between continental Greece and the Peloponnesus, seeing that it is to the immense sacrifices of the country that the Pe ninsula has more than once owed its salvation; and, should the Government arbitrarily assume to itself this right, would it have the means of effecting this separation without exposing to new calamities people who are just beginning to regain their habi tations, and to hope for that repose which the Morea enjoys from the protection and services of the Allied Powers ? It is not in their power, either by per. suasion or force, to obtain such a result. " The inhabitants of the provinces would answer them, that the third article of the treaty of the 6th of July, and the clause of the demarcation contained in the protocol of the 4 .22 d of March, en courage them to hope that the justice and magnani mity of the august Allies will not abandon them, and that it would be an abandonment without redemp tion to constrain them to quit the defensible posi tions which they now occupy. " They will answer, in short, that the experience of their long calamities obliges them to be unshaken in the resolution—never to quit their native soil, or the ruins which they defend with arms in their hand•, except under the influence of superior force. In the number of the positions which they have oc cupied latterly, are Vonizza, Lepanto, Missolonghi, and Anatolie°. The Mussulmans who compose the garrisons of these places, being completely left to themselves by their Government, and deprived of external resources by the blockade of their coasts, have themselves demanded to return to their own country. This retreat, far from giving occasion to bloodshed and other miseries, has been effected un der the safeguard of conventions, which demon strate the moderate and pacific views of the Greek Government, and which deserve the confidence which they inspire in the Massnimaos themselves. The letters which the commandant of the Castle of Romelia and the Pacha of Lepanto addressed to us at the time of the evacuation of these garrisons, furnish an irrefragable proof of this fact. " In this state of things, it is not impossible that the feeble garrison of Athens, end of the two or three other places included in the demarcation laid down in the protocol of the 22d of March, may fol low the eseample of the garrisons of Western Greece. " By such results the Greek Government would have contributed, as far as its feeble means allow, to the success of the negoeiations with which, in the names of the three Courts, the Plenipotentiaries of :England and France, who are going to Constanti nople, have been entrusted. " Independently of these observations, there are others which it is the duty of the Greek Govern ment to submit to the consideration of the Allied Courts on the different :irides of the protocol of the 22d of March, and especially on those which relate to the indemnity of the Envereignty. " Feeling it right to lose n 3 time in transmitting to Mr. Deakins the present note, it reserves to it self to make at a future time some observations on the points above mentioned. The Greek Govern ment entreats Mr. Dawkins to communicate this an swer to his Court, and in our own capacity we offer to hint the assurance of Out distinguished considera tion. " I (2&l) May, I 529." (From the Gazette de France, dated Monday.) :MADRID, JULY 16.:--A Spanish Mexican Com pany has just offered to the Government 175 millions of francs for the special purpose of covering the ex pellees of an expedition to Mexico, composed of 12,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, and a suitable train of artillery. 'ibis company consents not to receive the repayment of sums it advances, except in Mexico, from the produce of the countries recon quered, with interest at the rate of six per cent., till the payment of the principal; but the lenders will resume of right the possession of such of their pro perty as shall be recenquered, end for whic h t he Government shall not be entitled t,.7 require from them any indemnity. (Frain the Messager des Cliambres of Sund,iy.) PARIS, JULY 26.—A1l apprehension of a new war with Persia has ceased at St. Petersburgh, since the Schell of Persia has ;sent his grandson to give satisfaction to the Emperor; astd a reception worthy the splendour of his mission is preparing for that Prince at St. Petersburgh, where he t= expected to arrive in a few days. (From the Journal cla Commerce of Sunday.) PARIS, JULY 25.—The accounts received to-day frcni irlarseilles and Toulon leave no doubt that the cemmia3ion of M. de la Bretonniere is tobombard Algiers. On the 7th inst. a Dutch corvette sailed for Algiers, with orders to take on board the Consul of that nation. All the other Consuls are likewise going to leave the city, for fear of the bombardment. How ever, the Dey does not seem disposed to submit. It is pretended that there is a weak point, at which the bombardment is possible; but this opinion is not generally entertained. The Dey appears to trust for ills defence to the 1,200 pieces of cannon which I~ii9R his r.a.enparts. However this may be, when it was known at the beginning of J . wly befoe Algiers that six Algerne vessels were at sea, and had appeared on the coast of Sicily, Mr. Latreyte, who at that time had the command, despatched the Thetis frigate and a brig, with orders to sail along the Sicilian coast. The ships that remaineJ to continue the blockade were the Iphigenie,the Pro.,lerpine, and the Duchaav de -Berri frigates, and the Curieux and the .Alerte brigs. M. de la Bretonnierb must have arrived there since with the Provence of 42e line. We do not know what he will obtain by tix wjected bom bardment. It is certain, however, that hitklarto the blockade has produced only a great waste of tnc.n f v, fatigue, and useless dangers. The following letter, written from a French port, contains interesting particulars, concerning the effects of the blockade, and the situation of our sai lors Moho are prisoners:— " Seven Frenchmen, who were prisoners at Al, giers, have just been restored to liberty. " Some days after the festival of Bairam, the Dey of Algiers, on the solicitation of the Sardinian Consul, consented to set at liberty seven French prisoners, and as there were 44 of them, it was ne cessary to draw lots. One billet was made for a captain, one for an officer, and five for private sai lors. Those whom fortune favoured retnmed to France by Toulon, and the following particulars have been communicated by them. " The Fren6 prisoners at Algiers are not very LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1829. Ilis Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, ac companied by his Excellency the Prince ESTER HAZY, the Princess ESTERHAZY, the Marquis of DOUR°, and a party of frionds, now Visiting at Walmer Castle, arrived yesterday afternoon at Dover Castle, to make his entree as Lord War don of tho Cinque Ports, and to inspect the for tifications. On his Grace's arrival at the Castle rate, the flag was hoisted and a saline fired. The dis ting4ided party were received by SAMUEL LATHAM, Es q., the Deputy Governor of the Castle, and Lieutenant-Caa;;2) GossET, the Commanding Engineer. After viewing the Governor's apartments, where the Cinque Ports Officers were introduced to the Lord Warden, the party were conducted by Colonel Cr PSSET through some of the subterranean works. They qultteA the Castle about five o'clock, under a second salute, on their return to Wahncr. The very beautiful view from the windows of the Governor's apartments excited the admiration of his Grace and distinguished friends. It has been well said by those most compe tent to form an opinion, that this is the age of discoveries. A few months since a clergyman at the Dorchester Sessions, decided that a poor man had no occasion to wear breeches, and now we have Sir CLAUDIUS STEPHEN HUNTER declaring with equal peremptoriness that he has no occasion to wear shoes. No one, it seems, under the grade of an Alderman or a Country Clergyman, had a right to such aristocratic ap pendages. They arc luxuries to be enjoyed only by the affluent. " Shoes, indeed !" said Sir CLAUDIUS yesterday at the Mansion house with an air of infinite scorn—" no, no, they (the poor) can get on very well without them." We should have no objection to see these luxuries dispensed with by the lower classes, provided the worthy Alderman, who is manifestly a wag as well as a reformer, would begin by setting the fashion himself. The in fluence of such high authority could not fail to have an immediate effect ; while as regards the picturesque—or as BURKE would term it, the " sublime and beautiful"--we could conceive no richer treat than the sight of Sir CLAUDIUS picking his way through the mud towards Guild hall, in the same style and fashion that he so eloquently recommended yesterday to the two Gloucester and Birmingham paupers. Bermuda Gazettes have been received to the 23d ult. inclusive. His Majesty's ship Druid had gone for England with a freight of two mil lions of dollars. A violent storm, accompanied by most vivid lightning, was experienced at Bermuda on the 16th, by which the Spike merchantman, lying in St. George's harbour, had her main-top-mast head shattered, and the pilot and several of the crew severely wounded. Mr. F. A. ROBINSON was also killed, by the house in which he was, being struck by the electric fluid. German Papers of the 22d instant, received this morning, contain a decree by the President of Greece, for the Convocation of the Greek National Assembly at Argos on the 25th July. The particulars possess no interest here. VIENNA, Jun- 17.—Metalliques 99i ; Bank Shares 1121. Despatches were received at the Colonial Office this morning from Vera Cruz, dated the 20th June, and from the Havannah, dated July 2. By the arrival of his Majesty's packet, Sky lark, we have received papers to the 19th June, arid private letters to the 20th. The threatened invasion from the Havannah was believed at Vera Cruz, and preparations were accordingly making by the Government to give it a good reception. The force stated was 4,000 men, escorted by two ships of the line, three frigates, and three brigs of war, which was expected to be debarked on the coast of Yutacau. But our advices from the Havannah of the 2d July, state the amount of troops at 6,000, the number mentioned in previous accounts. This expedition was to have sailed on the 7th instant, under the command of General BARRADOS. The naval force, accord ing to the Havannah account, consisted of one ship of the line, two sixty-gun frigates, two forty-four gun frigates, one sloop of twenty guns, and one of eighteen. Now, if we recollect rightly, it was declared by the Government of this country, at the time of recognising the independence of the South Ame rican States, or rather during the invasion of Spain by France, when an expedition was threatened from Cadiz against the late colonies of Spain, that if any attempt whatever were made against the South American Republics by any European power, England would stand forth in their defence. That being the case, how comes it, we ask, that an expedition is threatened against Mexico ? Though England does not wish to interfere in the internal commotions in that un settled country, yet we think she is bound by her own declaration to prevent others from interfer ing. But, perhaps, the best reason for our non interference is the certainty that the Mexicans can take care of themselves—and that the attempt of FERDINAND will utterly fail. MEXICO, JUNE 7.—The supreme Government has ap pointed to the office of Minister of the Republic to his Britannic Majesty, Sir Don Manuel Edward Gorostiss, who is at present Minister from the Republic to his Ma jesty the King of the Netheilands. It has also appointed as successor to the latter, Don Sebastian Mercado, now acting as Secretary to our legation to the United States of North America. Their appointments are generally ap proved on account of the notoriety of the services done to the nation by Senors Gorostiza and because with re spect to Senor Mercado, be was in favour, on the circum stance of his sufferings for the year 10 in the cause of independency'. The Government gives daily proof of the rectitude of its intentions, and that the country alone and its we:fare are the sole objects of its care.

THE FUNDS,--(TINS DAY.) CITY, TWELTE o' CLocr. A Mexican packet has arrived this morning by the Skylark, and brings important information in regard to the expedition fitting out at the Havannah for the invasion of Mexico. The Skylark sailed on the 20th of June from Vera Cruz, and from the Havannah the 2d of July. By her papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, from the City of Mexico, of the 13th of June, and from Vera Cruz of the 19th of June. (From the Vera Cruz Paper of the 19th of June.) By the American brig _Rabat:, which arrived here last night at eleven o'clock from Cayo Hevelo, posi. , tive news has been received, that on the 25th an expedition of 4,000 troops, escorted by two ships of the line, three frigates, and three brigs, will sail for the coast of Yucatan. The Commissary-Genera has communicated this information by express to the Government, and has invited all the opulent of this city, by a Circular Letter, to contribute to the defence of the Republic, until the Government take mea sures, with subscriptions which will be repaid out of the first receipts of the Custom-house, or will be received in lieu of the payment of duties. Extract of a private letter from the Havannah, of the 2d July, received at the North and South American Coffee-house :—The expedition, compris ing one line of battle ship, two of 60 guns, two of 44 guns, and several smaller vessels, with trans ports, and six thousand troops, is to sail on the 7th instant, for the coast of Mexico.

ANGLING.—A person the other day angling with fly on the gala entangled the stretcher, or end fly, on a willow hush. While in this condition, and endea vouring to disengage it, an enormous frog made a spring from the bank at one of the droppers, which it seized and fairly gorged, to the no small amazement and annoyance of the angler, who, being no frog -eater, would much rather have been quit of such an unexpected and ugly customer. It is a well-established fact that frogs live on worms and insects, but their being taken with the artificial fly is, we believe, a thing of rare occurrence.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. ANECDOTE OF ORATOR lIENLEY.-HEN LEY was drinking in the Grecian coffee-house in company with 3 friend, when be was heard to say, " Pray, what has become of our old acquaintance, DICK SMITH ?" Friend—" I really don't know : the last time I heard of him he was at Ceylon, or some other of our West India settlements." HENLEY—" Ceylon, sir ! You have made two mistakes. Ceylon is not one of our settlements, and is in the East Indies, not in the West." Friend—" That r i en y." lIENLEv—" The more shame for you : every boy eight years old knows the truth of what 1 say." Friend—" Well, well; be it as you will. Thank God 1 know very little about these things." HENLEY— . what' you thank God for your ignorance, do you ?" Friend—" I do, sir: what then ?" HENLEY—" You have much to be thankful for."—Lives of the British Painters. A scandalous anecdote is in circulation at St. I" At the time when the congregation had the disposal of all tie public offices, a pl a c e became vacant in the town. One of the candidates for the office was supported by all the principal ladies in the place, but he could not obtain the object of his desire until be signed a deed, by which be bound himself to pay 400 francs annually to two of his patronesses. At first the debt of gratitude ap peared light, but soon he perceived that the payment of the 400 francs made a considerable deduction from his income, which amounted to only 1,200 franc,.. lie decl gyred that he would no longer pay the 400 francs, and threatened to recover what he had already paid in a court. The parties became alarmed, and a relation of one of the ladies undertook to repay all that they had received. jt was, however, necessary to ascertain exactly how much had been paid. The receipts would prove this. The re ceipts were handed over by the credulous claimant; and then, having parted with the only proof by which . he could es tablish his ease, he Wagtoldto go about his busluess. ' unfortunate, thanks to the Sardinian Consul and his lady, a native of Odessa, a woman of great merit and extraordinary benevolence. She and her hus band have done y the greatest services to our poor countrymen. They are lodged in a building which makes part of the bagnio at Algiers, but are not mixed with the criminals. The Dey's menagerie is separated from it only by a court-yard, and the roar• ings of 30 lions and tigers often disturb them in the night. The mien given them by the Dey's order consists of four small loaves, scarcely sufficient to keep them from starving, but each of them receives, besides, by the care of the Sardinian Consul, a small pay in proportion to his rank, which enables them to purchase the other necessaries of life, and provisions are cheap at Algiers. " As for the moral effect produced by our block ade on the Dey, and the inhabitants in general, it cannot be said to be very great; and certainly this means will not suffice to obtain the satisfaction re quired by France. In fact, merchantmen frequently enter and leave the port of Algiers, notwithstand ing the blockade; and if the Algerines have no',. equipped and sent out a greater number of corsairs, it is not from the difficulty of sending them to sea, but of bringing back their prizes in safety. Hitherto, the Solitaire brig is the only French vessel which they have succeeded in bringing to Algiers, and it seems certain that it got in under a neutral flag. At present there are at Salee two French ships which have long since been captured, and a third in the Balearic Islands. They dare not put to sea, for fear of being retaken. The Algerines confess, however, that while their port was blockaded by the English, it was next to impossible for the smallest boat to go out, because the men of warremained at anchor near the en trance of the port. Our ships,on the contrary are always under sail, often out of sight of the town for fear of the calms and the violent north winds, which render the blockade of little effect. It is also said at Algiers that the Sardinian and Neapolitan Con suls have been on the point of settling the diffe rences between France and the Dey, but that the English Consul has always prevented, by advising the latter not to yield. This, however, is only a report in the town, the truth of which cannot be warranted. " However, all persons who have any interest in the affairs of. the Mediterranean, sincerely pray that this miserable war may be soon ended in some way or other, and these wishes are not without reason ; ror if we were to put together all the sums which the merchants have lost, within these two years, in consequence of this war, in premiums of insurance, delays, and expences, in waiting for convoys to Ma!seines and Ga losses on the sales in conse• (pence of stopping at Ct &c., people would be surprised that the total would amount to millions."

The Lords of his Majesty's most honourable Privy Council had a meeting this morning. Those pre sent were Lord Wynford, Sir Christopher Robin son, and the Right Hon. Hugh Elliot. The appeal fer their Lordships' consideration was that of Sayers v. Whitfield, remitted from St. Vincent's, and was in part heard on a former day.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. IN TILE MATTER OF ROWLAND STEPHENSON AND OTHERS, BANKRUPTS. Mr. SWANSTON ,applied, on behalf of a Mr. Searle, who was entitled to certain stock standing in his name connected with this bankruptcy, for leave to have a petition presented without the name of the petitioner, he being abroad at present, and that the petition, after it had been answered, might be put at the bottom of the paper.--Prayer grai.ted. LUNACY. Mr. TEMPLE held in his hand the petition of the committee of a gentleman against whom a commis sion of lunacy had issued. After the finding of the lunacy, the lunatic, having been well in health and conduct, was permitted for same time to go about in the neighbourhood where he lived. During this period individuals who had formerly been in the habit of supplying him with corn, &c., for his horses continued to do so. The Committee intended to have paid off the debts that had been thus contracted out of the amount allowed for his maintenance; but unfortunately a change took place in the lunatic's state of mind, which rendered it ne cessary to have him consigned to a lunatic asylum. This occasioned a considerable additional expence, and left the Committee unable to pay off the debts that had been referred to. The amount of these debts were not stated in the petition. The Com mittee and family of the lunatic were anxious that they should be paid, and the petition prayed to have it referred to the Master to enquire what debts had been thus contracted, and whether they ought, and if so, out of what fund they should be paid.— Granted. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. PRACTICE OF THE COURT. On the VICE• CHANCELLOR taking his seat, Mr. COOPER said he was instructed to call his Honour's attention to a decree made by the Court a few days since for the sale of an estate, in which estate his (Mr. Cooper's) client had an incurnbrance of 6,0001., but yet had had no notice served on him of any intention to apply to the Court for a decree authorising a sale. Now he had no hesitation in saying, that a decree thus obtained was a fraud upon the Court; and the effect might be, a sale of the estate and the proceeds divided without his know ledge. VICE-CHANCELLOR—Your client must acquiesce in the sale, or a good title could not be made. I cannot see how he is likely to be injured. Mr. COOPER—If this decree is allowed to stand, it, at once upsets the long-established rule of the Court, and one which has been invariably acted upon, viz, the necessity of having every party in. terested before the Com t before any decree is made. I wish, therefore to ask, for my own information, and for the information of the whole bar, whether this ancient and wholesome rule, acted upon by all your Honour's predecessors, is now to be abolished. VICE-CHANCELLOR—Your client, Mr. Cooper, was not made a party to the suit. All those who were parties consented to the decree. He, there fore, not being a party, has no right to interfere; and I again repeat, that as his concurrence must be obtained before a valid sale of the estate can be effected, his interests cannot be damnified. Mr. COOPER said he mu 4 still contend that it was a novel proceeding for the Court to make a decree in the absence of parties, and one calculated to open a wide field for fraud. 111 r. KNIGHT said he could not sit still and hear an insinuation that this decree was obtained by fraud, particularly after the claim of Mr. Cooper's client had been rejected in the Master's Office. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—I shall not vary the decree. The charge of fraud has had no effect on my mind. I consider it falls to the ground. The Court was afterwards occupied in hearing a case on exceptions to the Master's report, of no public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. REEVE V. STACY AND OTHERS. This was a qui tam action on the 47th Geo. 111., to recover from a coal-merchant certain penalties hich are fixed by the Act at 201. per chaldron, for selling five chaldrons of " Eden Main" coals as " Stel,vart's Walls End" coals. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom Was Mr. PATTIsON) stated the case, and called R. A. Coward, who stated that the defendants calling on him in last July for an order, he ordered five chaldrons of the best " Walls End" coals, and agreed to pay 455. per chaldron for them. They were delivered when he was not at home, and he afterwards discoed ed that they were not " Walls End," but " Eden Main ;" and in a subsequent conversation defendant said that the coals were quite as good as " Walls End," as they had been sifted. Several other witnesses were called, who proved that the coals in question were " Eden Main" coals, which were then at 395. 9d. per chaldron at the ship's side. Mr. CAMPBELL, for the defendant, contended that there was no proof of the defendants having contemplated fraud, and he apprehended that Mr. Coward had no reason to complain, as he had re ceived an article as good as " Walls End" at a lower }Nice. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 1001., being 20/. on each chaldron. MESSRS. FRY AND CHAPMAN'S FAILURE.-GWILT v. SPURR AND ANOTRER. Mr. GURNEY (with whom was Mr. PLATT,) stated, that this was an action to recover the sum of 1,0241., which had been entrusted with the de fendants, who were respectable attorneys, to pay a debt and costs, which purpose had not been com pleted by them. The defendants had been employed by the plaintiff to conduct some law proceedings, in which it had been arranged with Messrs. Clutton and Co. (solicitors for the other side), that the debt and costs should be paid on Saturday the 22d of November last. On that day the plaint►ff called on the defendants at their office, and paid to Mr. Leach, one of the defendants, a cheque for the above amount to meet the demand of Messrs Clutton and Co. The defendants however received a letter on that day from Messrs. Clutton and Co. extending the period fixed for payment to the following Tues day. In consequence of which Mr. Leach did not pay the money on that day, but deposited the cheque with his bankers, Messrs. Fry and Chap man, who unfortunately stopped payment on the following Monday. Mr. Gwilt then applied to the defendants to pay the 1,0241. to Messrs. Clutton and Co., but they refused, and he was put to the in convenience of ra►s►ng the money himself, and pay ing it over again. The Learned Counsel had no doubt tl►at the Jury would think it extremely hard that .the plaintiff should lose the amount of the cheque, which he had paid to the defendants in the order of business, and for the safety of which they were clearly liable after it came into their possession. Ile then called witnesses to the payment, the refusal of Messrs. Spurr and Leach to pay the demand, and the failure of Messrs. Fry and Chapman. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the defendants, observed, he would prove that Mr, Qwilt had waited for some time on the Saturday, for Mesta. Cotton to come and receive the money; that he had read the letter which they had sent, and knew that the cheque was not to be paid on that day ; and had still, with that knowledge, left the cheque with the defendants, who had made him acquainted with their mode of placing it for security ; and that he had ad' mitted having seen Mr. Leach indorse the cheque with Messrs. Fry and Chapman's name. Thus it was clear that it was placed there with his sanctioet and that he himself chose to run the risk. Lord TENTERDEN was of opinion, that if th e whole of the defence were to be taken as proved, it would not relieve the defendants from the response' lity, or the liability of paying the sum if the cheque was lost. They bad even paid it to their own De' count at the bankers. The Jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages 1,0241. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE.

Th e nu mber o' carts allowed by the Corporation to perform the i cartage business of the City is f our h un dred and twenty. But many tradesmen of extensive busine° who formerly allowed their customers to take home their goods, or hired the town-carts for the purpose; now keep carts of their own in which they send hell° their goods, and charge their customers for the, cartak.,. This is held to be an infringement ru the privileges of the fellowship, and liable 0 punishment. Many persons have set up sprier carts, and let them for hire to convey tp o i g . of a particular descriptio n , suc h as w i ne , for wine' the common carts, without springs, are less suited. This is also held to be an infringement of the privy' leges of the fellowship, which it is computed ar e daily invaded by upwards of 4,000 v e hi c l es of th two descriptions which have come into use with i° the last fifteen years. On the part of the fellow ship, proceedings before Magistrates have in one or two instances been taken; but it has been held th at the words of the Act only gave the Corporation power over carts which were licensed. It is coo' tended by the owners of the new carts that all ft:er, men have a right to set up ca r t s f or hi re i n the calf, and that the f e ll ows hip h ave f or f e i te d t h e w hole 0 ' their privileges by the sale of a part of them to th e East India Company and the Dock Companies. 0 2 1 the opinion of a l aw y er o f some em i nence in t",e city, they deny th e va lidi t y o f any act o f Coane , Council inflicting fines not expressly sanctioned bl ' Act of Parliament.

The company assembled at Newhaven at ten o'clock, a number of member. 4 being dressed in the Highland garb, the ladies wearing scarfs of the different Clan Tartans, and almost every one present being deco rated with some Scottish favour. The Velocity steam-vessel, beautifully decorated with flags, as well at the embarking as the disem barking, and the whole under the direction of Cap tain DONALDSON BOSWELL OF WARDIE, R.N., was conducted with the greatest care and convenient.) , to the company. Soon after ten o'clock the club being embarked, the vessel started from the Stone Pier, the pipers striking up" O'er the hills and far away," followed by the excellent band of the 12th Royal Lancers, with the national air of "The Garb of old Gaul."— The club landed on the island soon after eleveno'clock, and after visiting the Light-house, and strolling for some time over the island, which could not have carried on its surface a more brilliant assemblage of the fair, the games commenced in their order.— The completions were under the direction of Major MACDONALD OF CALLIE, as convener, and the com mittee on the sports, and the general arrangement, by the indefatigable exertions of the convener and his coadjutors, gave universal satisfaction. RIFLE SHOOTING.—For this prize there were twelve competitors, and the successful candidate was Cluny INlTherson, Chief of Clanchatten, who put two of his three balls into the inner ring of the bull's eye, and very near the centre. THROWING TILE HAMMER.—There we four competitors for this prize, which was won by Mr. William Campbell, of Achlian, who threw a ham mer 18 pounds weight up a gentle, inclined plain, to a distance of 59 feet. PUTTING THE STONE.—(A Ball 22 pounds weight.)—This prize, for which there were four competitors, was also gained by Mr. Campbell, who projected the ball a distance of 26 feet. QUOITS.—This prize was keenly contested by six gentlemen, and was won by Robert Banner, jun. Esq., beating Staffa and Mr. Stevenson, by only one shot. STEEPLE RACE.—The contest for this prize ex cited great interest. The length of the course, as the crow flies, was about half a mile; but from the precipitous nature of the ground, the runner had to find his way as he best could. Four started, but two of them gave in about half way. The other A 6 to kept very close till ►within a short distance of the winning post, when Mr. Edward M'Callam shot in before his rival and won cleverly. Several other prizes were to have been competed for had time permitted. During the intervals be tween the games and at the conclusion, numerous dancing parties tript it lightly on the turf to the music of theLancers' fine band and the club's pipers. At four o'clock the club accompanied the ladies who did them the honour to attend, and sat down to an elegant dinner in a spacious tent, in which covers were laid for 300. Ronald M'Donald of Staffri, in the chair; Cluny M'Pherson, Captain Donald son Boswall, R. N., and Major M'Donald of Callie, croupiers. An excellent desert of fruit followed the dinner, and the entertainment and wines, which were furnished by Mr. Presgrave, of Stockbridge, as well as his whole arrangements, gave universal satisfaction. Among the guests were a Nobleman from the Court of Baden, two Prussian gentlemen of dis tinction, a Gentleman from Italy, the Chevalier Lane, Mr. Segismund Neukomm, from Paris, Colo nel Harvey, &c. The Directors had sent an invita tion to his Royal Highness the Duke de Chartres and suite, through the French Consul-General, in the event of his Royal'Highness's arrival in Edin burgh, which had been expected on the day previous to the meeting. THE )INNER. After the cloth was removed the following among other toasts were given. " The King, God bless him, and long may he live and reign over us," by four—Tune " God save the King." " The Duke of Clarence and St. Andrews, and the other branches of the Royal family." " The Navy and Army of the British empire"—Tunes "Rule Britan nia, and British Grenadiers." " The Duke of Wel lington and his Majesty's Government." STAFFS then rose to introduce the leading toast of the day, and in doing so, and after expressing regret that one more able than himself had not been chosen to discharge so arduous a duty, said such as his feeble exertions however were, he should not be wanting in the exercise of them, in the anxious en deavour to contribute to their sociality upon this occasion. The toast which he ANUS about to give was, " Prosperity to the Highland Club of Scot land."—(Cheers.)—lt would be as unnecessary as it would be improper in him, said the learned Chair man, to occupy the time by dwelling upon the benefits that would arise from the establishment of institutions such as the present ; as from a prudent management of their funds, and the judicious direc tion of these into the proper channels, the two-fold objects were attained, of renewing the manly sports of our ancestors, and of promoting the benefits and blessings upon their offspring; besides, the accom plishments of these ends again carried with it the incalculable advantages on the one hand, of rearing up in the minds of our Scottish youth such generous and patriotic feelings as would make them spurn at every thing that was sordid or dishonourable ; while on the other, by mingling with such sentiments the great blessing of education, there would be instilled into the youthful mind those principles of sound sense, and those feelings of genuine and sterling good morals, which could in no other way be so effectually attained and riveted in their hearts. In illustration of these positions, he stated he had much gratification in announcing to the company, that the number of orphans and poor children (boys and girls) who were at this moment educating under the auspices and at the expense of this Institution, ex ceeded one hundred ; and in regard to the exercises or games, though some of these only had been prac tised on that day, he would leave it to the company to judge of these from what they had seen. The Chairman stated that he had only to add, that no arguments, or unaccountable prejudices of indivi duals, nor of illiberal or narrow-minded policy, should ever induce him to think or believe that in stitutions of this sort (and he was glad to learn that there had been several of them established in various parts of Scotland, since the auspicious visit of his gracious Majesty to his ancient kingdom of Scot land) are not of essential and permanent utility to the country at large; not only as it regards its mo rals, but also with respect to its increasing intellect, and general good principles. Having said thus much, the Chairman begged leave to give " The Highland Club of Scotland, and that every success might attend the excellent and benevolent objects of its institution, and may its hundred scholars soon be augmented to double that nurn ber;" nor did he at all despair in time to see some of the youths who are now at its school fill that chair, which by the kind indulgence of the club had on that day been assigned to him to occupy, and that chair filled too with more ability than he could ever pretend to do.—(Long continued cheering, drank with Highland honours)—Tune," O'er the Muir amang the Heather." STAFFA, after a short prefitce in compliment to the manly and patriotic feelings which hare uniformly distinguished the conduct of the nobleman who is the Patron of the Institution, and who the Chairman had the honour of stating was his relative, pro posed the " Health of the Right Hon. the, Loud Glenorchy, the Patron of the Club."—(Great ap plause.)—Tune, " Lord Breadalbatie's March." STAFFA next craved a flowing bumper, and hav ing at this time observed. the Chevalier Laine, the Consul-General of. France, and another distin guished French gentleman, who had just arrived from Paris, proposed the " Health of his Christian Majesty Charles the Tenth, King of France, the staunch and faithful ally of his Britannic Majesty," and for whom he felt convinced that many then pre sent had with himself retained lasting impressions of esteem, respect, and gratitude for his Majesty's kind and condescending a ttention to all who had t h e ho nour of attending his Majesty's levees, in the days of other times, within the reserved and sacred walls of the Royal Palace of Holyrood. Staffa concluded by coupling with his toast the" Health of the Che valier Laine, and the distinguished foreigner who sat by him."—This toast was drunk in the midst of great cheering and unbounded applause. The Chevalier LAINE returned thanks by express- _ . ing his acknowledgements for the kind liberality and good feeling which had been expressed, and the compliment which had been thus paid to his Sove reign, arid for the great hospitality which had been shown, and the honour which had been conferred upon himself and his friends on this occasion. STAFFA proposed " The health of the Lord Provost and prosperity to the Corporation of Edinburgh."— (Applause.) CLUNY, after an eloquent eulogium on the pub lic character of the Chairman, viz., a patient en durance, a staunch Highland heart, and a firm and unconquerable determination to discharge every duty in all situations, under any and every circumstance, proposed " The health of Statfa," which was drank with enthusiastic Highland honours.—Tune," Staf fa's Strathspey," erroneously called Neil Gow's Wife. STAFFA, in rising to return thanks, assured his gallant friend Cluny and the company, that in so far as sterling feelings were concerned, and an anx• ious desire to promote every object which tended to the advantage and benefit of his country and coun trymen, his determination in the promoting and cherishing of such objects was unconquerable— (Cheers,) —and should only end when the spark of life which glowed in the heart of him who now ad dressed them, should cease to beat. Staffa, before sitting down, proposed " The health of the gallant Gen. Stewart of Garth," whom he had the honour of denominating as his friend ; and on this occasion the Chairman asked the permission of the company to be allowed to preface this toast in the language which he was sure would mare nearly reach the heart of his gallant friend than any other, viz., the Gaelic, which the Chairman with great fluency ex pressed in strong energetic terms, explanatory of the great benefits which General Stewart had conferred on his country, by standing forth and bleeding in its cause, when it was necessary to unsheath the sword and meet the enemy on their own ground; and when the blessings of peace were attained by means of British prowess and British valour, we find the gal lant General occupied iu recording a faithful detail and history of feats performed by his countrymen during the momentous struggle of every thing that was sacred and dear to us in the twenty years' war. This health was received and drank with enthusi astic applause.—Tune," Dainty Davie." Claim - then rose and proposed " The health of her Grace the Duchess of Argyle, and the other Ladies who are Honorary Members of the Club."— Applause.) Tune, " Green grow the rushes." STAFFA proposed " The health of the Ladies then present, who had honoured the meeting with their company on that day."—(Great applause.)— Time, " Flowers of Edinburgh." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The health of his Majesty, Frederick William HI., King of Prussia," stated that he had great satisfaction at having the honour of the company of a distinguished native of that country present, who he also wished to include in the toast.—(Great cheering.) This distinguished individual returned thanks in the name of his Sovereign, and for the honour done to himself ; he had been very anxious to be present at a Meeting of Highlanders, and his wishes were this day not only accomplished, but highly gratified. STAITA had now the honour of proposing the health of another illustrious individual, " The Grand Duke of Baden," and begged leave to add that of a distinguished personage connected with his Court, who had this day also honoured the Club with his company, Viz.," M.Dhamen."— (Applause.) M. DHASIEN acknowledged the compliment in a very neat and concise speech, couched in remarkably. good English, in of hick he expressed himself much pleased with the notice taken of the Grand Duke, and the honour done to himself in drinking his health, and that he would not fail to report it to his Court. Captain DONALDSON BOSWELL, R.N. proposed the health of his Grace the Duke of Buccleugh, and thanks to his Grace for granting permission to the Club to hold its meeting on the island of Inch keith, which was so appropriate for the purpose.— (Loud cheering.)—Tune " Dalkeith House." Major MACDONALD cf Callie proposed " The Chief of Chinranald, Chairman of the last Meeting." —(Drank with Highland honours.)—Tune," Clan ranald Salute." By CLUNY, the Duke of Gordon—" The Cock of the North."—(Great applause.)—Tune, " Duke of Gordon's salute.' STAFFA—" Prosperity to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, the land of our forefathers, where a friend never met a traitor, nor an enemy a coward." —(Much applause.) Tune—" Auld lang sync." The CHAIRMAN, in rising to give the health of the gallant Croupiers,—Cluny M'Pherson, Captain D. Boswell, R.N., and Major M'Donald,—stated that he wanted words to express the great obliga tions under which lie lay to these gentlemen ; and even if he could command words, the desire to spare their feelings prevented his commenting, and saying what he could have otherwise wished in praise of their many excellent and manly virtues; and which, from the intim:tcy which he had the ho nour of holding with all of them, no man could be more sensible of these amiable qualifications than himself, and that want of time alone compelled him to class the three in one bumper, which the Chair man craved should be an overflowing one. 'I his toast was received with enthusiastic applause.— Tune—" Three jolly fellows." CLUNY returned thanks ; and Captain BOSWELL and Major IVPDoNALD, in expressing their obligation for the honour done to them, expressed their rea• diness upon all occasions to contribute their utmost exertions towards the promoting of the laudable and patriotic objects of this most excellent institution. STAFFA, after commenting, in a very feel ing and animated manner, on the auspicious visit of our gracious Sovereign to his ancient kingdom of Scotland, and the many advantages which have emanated in various ways from that never-to-he- forgotten event, gave " The 15th August, 1822, and the recollection of the fifteen happy days dur ing which ancient Caledonia hailed her gracious King within her bosom."—((Treat cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then called up Cluny Macpher son and the other successful competitors of the field of sports, and after a short but most appropriate address to each, delivered the silver medals, which , were beautifully made, bearing the seal and em blems of the Club on the on e side, with a suitable inscription on the other, arid inclosed in red morocco cases, suspended vith Royal tartan ribbons. He then proposed their healths, which were drank with Highland honours and great applause.—Tune, " See the conquering heroes come." STAFI'A then propos e d t h e h ea l t h s o f t h e unsuc cessful competitors, and although he was himself one of ace, however, looked forward to better success at some itoure competition. (Cheers.) By Captain l'ilAcANL—" Chiefs and - Clans; and may God bh.Ss the Lnd of cahes."-Tune-- ,. -" Garb of old Gaul." CLUNY, 01;ef of Clanchatten, returned thanks ; for himself and the absent chiefs of clans. The CHAIRMAN then proposed an overflowing bumper to " Co:cnel Mg-lean, Cohn M‘Nab, Esq. of Sine, and the other Directors of the Club, and the Stewards of the day."—(Great applause.)— Tune—" Highland Laddie." By CLUNY—" Prosperity to the Highland So ciety of Scotland."—(Applause.) STAFFA returred thanks, and proposed " Pros perity to the Highland Society of London." A So ciety that was now converting its funds to the most useful purposes, and to whose secretaries, Messrs. Wedderburn and M'Donald, and its Directors, the best thanks of the Club were due.—(Drank with Highland honour3.)—Tune—" Blue Bonnets o'er the Border." STAFFA, after remarking at some length, and stat ing his own knowledge on the want of education in the Highlands, and particularly in the populous and interesting islands of Scotland, proposed the health of " Principal Baird and the Committee of the Na tional Church, and sum ss to their laudable exer tions in the instructing of the inhabitants in these remote districts of Scotland."—(Draitl: with great applause.) JOHN TURNER, Esq. of Turner-hall, then pro posed the health of Mr. Christie, the secretary, in a neat and appropriate speech, which was drank with much applause. Mr. CHRISTIE returned thanks, expressing the high gratification be felt in the great success that had attended the procee&ngs of the day, in which he had felt an intense interest. STAFFA, in proposing the health of William Camp bell, Esq., the Treasurer of the Club, assured the company that the Hon. Secretary was also on his list, but that it could not have fallen into better hands. STAFFA, in a Gaelic speech, in the course of which he introduced and recited the beautiful address by Fingal to his grandson Oscar, when he lay mortally wounded, concluded by stating that notwithstanding the prejudices and incredulity of the inhabitants of our sister Kingdom, England, as to the existence of the Fingalians, and the generous and noble sentiments attributed to them in the earliest periods of the history of our country, and of the ambition of the inhabitants of the Green Isle to claim Fingal as their own, that these were points which to the last hour of his existence he never would give up to any man, or class of men on the face of the earth, and that he was ready at all times to meet those who might think otherwise upon the argument as well as on the fact. Staffa then craved an overflowing bumper to that unequalled and highly gifted individual " Sir Walter Scott—(Cheers) — and to the many renowned living poets of our coun try."—(Loud and continued cheering)—Tune, " Kenmure's on and awa'." By COLIN I`7l‘NAn of S;ne—" Stan, and the Stirling and Bannockburn Caledonian Society."— (Applause.) In returning thanks, Staffs assured the Company that the Society pronounced, of which he had the honour of being Patron, while it embraced the che rishing several of the manly games of our ancestors, made it its chief object to clothe and educate the destitute children and orphans of that classical dis trict of the country ; and although the Institution had not been formed for more than six or seven years, they bad already clothed and educated upwards of one hundred children.—(Applause.) STAFTA proposed his relative arid gallant kins man, "his Excellency Marshal INl'Donald, Duke of Tarentum, and the other honorary Members of the Club."—(Applause.)—Tune, " O'er the Water to Charlie." The CHAIRMAN, in paying a handsome and well merited compliment to Lord and Lady Willoughby, better known in former time by the titles of Lord and Lady Gwyder, for the invariable attention which they have ever paid in promoting every object which tended to the benefit and substantial improvement of Scotland, proposed the " St.Fillen's Society, and may its funds soon be directed towards the esta blishment of Schools, as well as that of the practising of Highland Games."—(Cheers.)—Tune, " Lady Drummond of Perth's reel." After a few more toasts, such as the Celtic, Dun keld, Perth Societies, &c., &affa left the Chair, when Highland reels, &e. commenced under the tent, which was kept up with great spirit till the bugle sounded, the retreat for re-embarking. A reel, danced in the true Highland character by the two Chieftains, Staffs and — Cluny, attracted great notice, and called forth bursts of applause. The music was throughout excellent, the band of the Royal Lancers, Menzie's band of violins, and the pipers playing alternatively. '1 he Club and their friends relanded at Newhaven soon after nine o'clock, highly gratified with the amusements of the day. FA SHION ABLE, INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

The ball-room was thrown open at eleven o'clock, most tastefully decorated with real and arti ficial flowers, to a fashionable cire!e, exceeding SOO of the haut ton, who were greeted with some beautiful qua drilles and waltzes, finely psi formed by WEippERT and his hand ; during the evening galloopes were introduced with good effect.

On Friday the atmosphere was but the evening set in close and sultry. About ten o'cleelt flashes of lightning were observed at intervals to he emitted from some clouds in the west. These flashes continued, with little intermis sion, until about half-past two the followiPg morn ing, when the clouds suddenly lowered towards the earth, and a gloomy darkness succeeded. A change came again—strong flashes of lightning, together with the distant rolling of thunder, proclaimed the approach of a terrific storm, and in about a quarter of an hour it came with fury and desolation en its wings, and descended to the earth. It spread itself over the country to the north-west of this town.— The lightning was vivid and awful, the whole western hemisphere appearing to be one continued sheet of fire, the flashes being for about half an hour incessant. About this time the clouds burst, and a tre mendous shower of rain tended to dispel terror. Mingled with the rain was a shower of hailstones, and the streets of the town, in several parts, were speedily flooded to a considerable depth. At a quar ter past three, however, the storm began to subside. Uponthe farm occupied by M•. llorsi.wco 1, at Bro thertoft, the storm wreaked its most dreadful fury. Several fields of most beautiful wheat and other corn were entirely destroyed! Some oat fields have a very singular appearance—the crop stands erect, and at a distance looks remarkably fine, but it is merely the skeleton of corn, the cars being com pletely thrashed out.—Mr. Horsewood has lost nearly 100 acres cf corn and about 14 acres of cole seed by this awful calamity ; the farm occupied by Thomas Gee, Esq., has also been visited, and that gentleman estimates his loss at about 4001.—Mr. Robinson, of Frampton, calculates that his loss amounts to 1,0001.; Mr. Toynton and Mr. Wright, of Brothertoft, have also lost nearly their entire har vest. Mr. Cuttois, of Langret Ferry, has lost about three hundred acres of corn. Judging from what we have seen and heard, we should certainly say that the damage sustained exceeds 70,000/. in value, and we all know the farmers can ill bear this dread ful addition to their burdens.—The dreadful line of devastation appears to extend about a mile in breadth, and eight miles in length, through one of the most fertile parts of Lincolnshire. What ap pears very singular is, that through the whole ex tent, we cannot hear of a single life, either man or beast, being sacrificed. Hundreds of windows were smashed by the immense hail-stones, and in some in stances the window frames were beat in. Several hours afterwards, hail -stones, as large as walnuts, were picked up, in various parts. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING. YORK, MONDAY NICHT.-From the appearance of things at present there is not much prospect of the meet ing being remarkable for any of-those attractions which formerly characterised the August meeting. At one period it was by odds the greatest in the North, generally occu pying six days, and sometimes seven ; this year it will be confined to four !Jays, the Saturday Races being done away. Great complaint is made by all classes at this in fringement upon a good old custom, the s'ort on Saturday having always been looked upon as the exclusive right of the farmers and others attending the market, and who consider it a much greater hardship than the diafranchis ing of the forty-shilling freeholders. The falling off in this ' meeting has been progressive fur the last four or five years, and arises from various causes, the chief of which are the increasing importance of the Spring Meeting, and the ob jection which many gentlemen have to prepare their young horses for Stakes, which, coining so close upon the Great St. Leger, renders a second preparation necessary. Between fifty and sixty horses have arrived at Ding houses and Middlethorpe, neither of the crack St. Leger favourites being in the number. Lady S ;rah is not here, but it is not unlikely that she may arrive between this and Thursct:iy. Prince Eugene is here, and being now up to the mark, is thought much of for the 100 guineas Produce Stakes ; his most formidable opponent is Lord Mount charles's Rupert, who is a fine rattling colt, in capital train ing, and likely to produce a dangerous nag for those who stand against Lira. He is by far the most promising Master Henry colt we have seen. The renowned Zinganee reached York on Saturday, merely as an idler, or looker-on being " bottled up" for the Doncaster Cup. He took walk ing exercise yesterday, but the Yorkshire knowing ones, so fameui for their judgment in a " bit o' horseflesh," give him no credit for being a " slap-up" looking nag ; they say he's not " a good Copt un," and appears to overlook his room before, and the great liberty na'ure has given him to get away when once in action, a point for which he is greatly admired by many excellent judges. The Yorkshire folk reckon they can find a three-legged tit to beat him over Doncaster. So much for prejudice.

An excellent mateh at Cricket was played yesterday in the Brocas, Eton, between the members of the Wycombe Club and the Wind,or and Eton Junior Club, which was decided in favour of the latter. The day was extremely fine, and the interest excited attracted a greater number of visitors than we ever remember to have seen upon a similar occasion. The following is a statement of the game : WIND:.;011 AND ETON. ist Innings W YCO3I BE. 2d Ditto - 15412d Ditto... Bl GRAND ROWING MATCH FOR I TWO lIUND'RED SOVEREIGNS. On Monday evening a grand and interesting match took place between eight young gentlemen of Westminster and eight of Eton, for one hundred sovereigns a-side. The distance rowed was from Putney Bridge to Hamm:rsmith and back ; and some time previous to the time named for starting (six o'clock), the river and its banks were crowded with spectators, among whom were a considerable number of ladies and gentlemen of rank and fashion. The towing path was thronged with equestrians, and never did the river on any similar occasion exhibit a more intertstingly gay appearance, the majority of the aquatic admirers of both sexes wearing a piece of blue riband, the gentlemen in their coat button-holes, and the ladies on the left side of their waist. The oldest of the contending party were not more than 20, and they varied from 11 to that age. The young gentlemen of Eton pulled up to Putney Bridge in the Britannia, a fine con-trueted boat built by Archer, of Lambeth ; the celebrated Mr. T. Honey, the boat builder of Lambeth, was appointed to the important sta tion of steerer to the Eton boat. The Westminster scho lars appeared tit the bridge in a beat of Searle's. Both parties were attired in rowing trim, and every preliminary being adjusted, the start took place on the firing of a gun on shore. The Westminster gentlemen took the laad by nearly a beat's length, but on arriving off Craven Cottage, by the scientific manner in which the lines were handled, and a degree of extra power which the oarmen put on the Eton boat, came alongside; and, notwithstanding the scien tific mureavre of Bruinmell, who steered the Westmin ster boat, in endeavouring to bring his boat's neap on to the rudder of that of the opposite party, the Eton gentlemen gallantly went a-head, and finally won the match by a quarter of a mile. The winning party spent tIK., ev e uj ug at the Star and Garter. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We publish some further particulars of the three criminals who were executed at the Old Bailey on Monday, and a sensible letter on the subject of " happy," " blessed" wretches of the same description, who undergo the sentence of the law. We really hope that the good sensT of the public till put an end to these follies, and teach capital offenders that though they may, through sincere repentance, hope for mercy through the atonement of their Redeemer, yet that persons of their past life and character are not in a condition to exult and triumph ; casting out of view their repeated crimes (for few suffer for the first), to consider themselves rather as martyrs in God's cause, than as con victs in that of the Devil. We would wish per sons engaged in guilty courses to consider what sincere repentance is:—it is that contrition for the past, and self-abhorrence for crimes com mitted, which would keep the criminal from plunging into similar practices if he were turned loose into the world again. How many of the glorified saints who die by the halter have this repentance it is not for us to say ; but any thing short of it is no repentance at all. Can any thing be so shocking as to see a wretch affecting security with respect to his eternal salvation, whilst he knows his guilt, and is practising a sly, shifty equivocation, more knavish ten times over, than a direct falsehood ? 1 here is hardly any thing more detestable in the blas phemies of Taylor and Carlile than this. Do we not pity those who expiate their crimes by death ? it may be asked. Yes, sincerely ; and we would, if possible, render their situation less desperate, by taking away from it the deceptive gloss which dazzles the world and deceives their own hearts. But give us leave to say, that we also pity those who, after having suffered egre gious wrong, are obliged, at fresh expense and trouble, to prosecute legally those who inflict it ; and then have for their reward the mortification of seeing the wretched men whom they bring to condign punishment considered as martyrs, and themselves as persecutors. For our own parts, we think that a man who, under all the diffi culties of a legal process, brings a criminal to justice, does his country a more essential service than one who kills twenty of the enemy's forces in the field, or on the main deck.—Times. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE TIMES. Sir,--In your paper of this day is an account of the execution of three men at the Old Bailey, to which I beg to call your particular attention. In that account all the three prisoners are represented as stating themselves to be perfectly hsppy, and quite confident in the efficacy of their repentance to ensure their forgiveness in the eyes of God. I can not but suppose that you, Mr. Editor, as well 54 every thinking person, must be fully aware of the dreadful consequences of such representations. The salutary terror of punishment is thereby so far lessened, as to become of very little avail indeed. Not only are these people convinced that, if I may be allowed the expression, the gallows is but a step- ping-stone to heaven, but their imaginations are pleased at the thought of enjoying, at least for a tine, a sort of posthumous fame. A melancholy nstance of the truth of this occurred in the case of William Vial!, which appeared in the Times of the 22d inst. This young man had attempted to mur der his fellow-apprentice, apparently without any reason whatever. It was evident that he had been in the habit of attending executions, or at least of reading descriptions of them ; yet so little terror had they produced upon him, that in his box was found a paper in his own handwriting, giving a description of his own execution, and representing his own body upon the gibbet, with the surrounding multitude. Now, Sir, if the end of punishment be the preven tion of crime, by striking terror into the minds of the worthless and profligate, I cannot but think that this important object is but little advanced by the kind of publication to which I have alluded. While every criminal is painted in the colours of a martyr, we cannot be surprised that their fate should be con templated, especially by the lower orders, rather with pity than with horror. And when we hear men, upon the brink of eternity, declaring the most presumptuous confidence in the efficacy of their re• pentance, we can hardly doubt but that the convic lion which it must bring to the minds of the vulgar is, that however bad a man's life may have been, however dreadful his crimes, he needs but a few days' prayer and repentance—if repentance it can be called—to assure him of forgiveness and eternal happiness. I need not, I am confident, point out to you how little advisable it is that such a convic tion should be produced in the mind of any man whatever.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obe, dient servant, London, July 29. M. C. A report of a case of crim. con. at the Sheriff; Court, yesterday, will be found in another co lump. Heavy damages were given. M o d es and fashions are certainly changing. Spanish jealousy was at one time proverbial., and now a Spanish husband is the least jealous of all hus bands. The Italians were formerly so jealous, that they never suffered their wives to leave their homes, except either in their own company or that of a trusty friend. In process of time that trusty friend became, under the title Cavalier Servante or Cecisbeo, the authorised lover of the wife, by whom he is chosen and dismissed at will. Those who pretend to an acquaintance with fashionable life in England maintain, that, with respect to crim. con. a groat change has taken place within the last fifteen years. At one time nothing was so .rare as crim, cons. in tlio middle ranks. In this country there is a con stant pressure from beneath, and of late years, the people who figure in crim. cons. in on, Courts are chiefly Shopkeepers, half-pay Okp,.. tains, Farmers, and occcasionally C.;gytnen, The moment persons of this rank began to figu lt , in Courts of Justice, the higher ranks be,ntne disgusted with the remedy ; and if we uo cor rectly informed, a man of fashion, even if in- jured in a tender point, would be considered as lowering himself by an exhibition in a Court of Law. Human nature is, always the same, anti it may be taken fa; granted, that in a given, number of fashionable people, there are as tm , ,n) aberrations now as fifteen years ago. ThQ ference is in the way of thinking. A 5 it is since the Continent was opened to our fashion able people that the change has taken place, 'er haps the prevailing ways of thinking at Flo rence, Rome, Naples, aTe. may have ;not been without its influence on our Atistocracv.— Morning Chronicle. A great deal of ridicule has occasionally been cast on those who have expressed sanguine hopes of the future intellectual elevation of our species. We think the ridicule misplaced, and that a compariscna of the present state of this country with the state only fifty years back, will afford a sufficient justification of those who indulge in bright hopes of the future. Jean Jacques Rous seau, in a letter to Mirvbeau the elder, who had been expressing himself warmly as to the future improvement of the world, ridicules the credulity of the Abhe de St. Pierre, for " maintaining that human reason was advancing constantly t )v:ards perfection, as each age adds its intelli gence to that of preceding4l:;es.: - -He did not see that the human understanding has" - always the same measure, and that a very narrow that

it loses in one way as much as it gains in another, and that prejudices always reviving, take from us as much acquired knowledge, as cultivated reason can replace.' If this proposition of Rousseau's were true, there would be no difference in point of knowledge between the people of England and the people ofs Loo Choo. But when we com pare together aSbarbarous and a civilized nation, we at once see the utter falsity of the allegation. When we look about us in this great metropolis, in which is contained a population of nearly a million and a half—one equal to that of many a large region—we perceive great order and regu larity, and a disposition in all whom we meet to concur in promoting the happiness of each other. We leave our houses with the most per fect confidence that we shall find every thing safe when we return—that no aggression will be com mitted against us in the course of our pro gress. This perfect subjection of a large popu lation to the principle of order, is already a vast improvement. If a crowd of people happen to be assembled, any man who shall submit to them a proposition to violate the public peace, or to commit impropriety in general, would be scouted by the audience, some of whom would pro bably be heard expressing themselves in the lan guage of good sense and propriety on the sub ject. You fall in with a Meeting of Journey. men Weavers or Journeymen Tailors discussing their grievances, and though it is probable that the views of the speakers will generally be partial, yet we do not believe we are going too far when we assert, that there will be found nearly as much ability as in an equal number of the higher ranks, and no greater deviation from correct rea soning. If the weaver or tailor blunders about the cause of the distress he is suffering, so does the country gentleman. Take a hundred Me chanics and a hundred Peers (the Commoners in Parliament are the elite of their order), and as many of the former will be found able to speak fluently on any given subject as of the latter. This could not have been said of the mechanics even thirty years ago. When, therefore, we speculate on the prc spects of society we should take the progress al ready made by the people as a guarantee of the progress they will make hereafter. Frederick of Prussia was a correct observer of mankind and had great experience. In a letter from him to lYsliembert, in 1770, he grapples with this question of the capability of improving our species, and it may not be amiss to contrast the description he gives of any supposed nation of ten millions, with, what would be applicable to such a nation now. " Let us take," says lie, " any monarchy you please; let us suppose that it contains ten millions of inhabitants ; from these ten millions let us discount first the labourers, the manufacturers, the artisans, the soldiers, and there will remain about fifty thousand persons, men and women ; from these let us discount ' twenty-five thousand for the feminine sex, the rest will compose the nobility and gentry and the respectable citizens; of these let us examine how many will be incapable of application, how many imbecile, how many pusillanimous, how many dissipated, and from this calculation it will result that out of what is called a civilized nation of nearly ten millions of inhabitants, you will hardly find a thousansl well-informed persons, and even among them what inequality with re spect to genius ! Let us suppose it possible that these thousand philosophers were all free from prejudices, what effects would their lessons produce on the public? If eighf-tenths of the nation toiling for their subsistence never read— if another tenth are incapable of application from frivolity, or dissipation, or imbecility, it 1-w:tilts that the small share of good sense of which our species is capable can only reside in a very small fraction of a nation ; that the remainder are not susceptible of it, and that the greater number will always be dupes. These considerations lead me then to believe that credulity, superstition, and timidity of mind, will always prevail with the public—that the number of philosophers will be small in all ages, and that one superstition or other will always subjugate the universe. Moral and physical imperfection is the character of the globe that we inhabit ; it is lost time to under take to enlighten it, and the attempt is often dangerous for those who make it. We must be sontented with being wise for ourselves, if we can, and abandon the vulgar to error, endeavour ing.at the same time so turn them from crimes Oriels trouble the order o(uociety." The falsity o f ts 'sese gloomy views of the old King is best d emons Srated by comparing any cinsntry now w ith hi s e ,stimate. In consequence of the pro digious i m rovements made in inachiaery, and even i n agnesn ture, property has become exten sively distributed, And the number of men who have leisure to read mid to think, and whose ex ample is extensively 0, is prodigiously in creased. But we have not .assw space to pursue the subject to its conclusion. Wes shall resume The rumours of a change in the Cabinet, to which we alluded a few days ago, are still indus triously circulated by the persons who are vio lently opposed to the Duke of Wellington ; nay one of our contemporaries has gone so far as to l-ay beiore his readers the names p( Ow distin guished persons whoare likely to form the Whig and Tory Cabinets, in case the present apositae one should be dissolved ! In reply to these ru moors, we have only to state, that although the Duka of Wellington be desirous of effecting a recont&ation with th 3 Afernber: of the Pro testant ports?, it cannot be expecteml that his Grace woulA consent to any arrangement at the expellee either of his reputation as a Minister , or of his honour as a goldier and a gentleman. Of course we do not for a 4noment suppose that slue Protestant Tor:es would suhmit any propo sition to which the Duke of Wellington could not honourably accede; but as those persous who pretend to speak o f ficially the sentiments of Tories have been dealing in obscure hints for sorin time past, we deem it right to remind them of the extreme improbability of any unfair pro position being listened to by the noble indivi dual at the head of his Maie;ty's Government. That some w riters, in tits e.ss of their pa triotistii, Would rejoice to witness tt4 4.e,Frture of the Duke of Wei:.ington and Mr. Peel 4'.0 office, we can well belicy.? ; but we really cannot imagine why the total dist:4,l6on of the present Government is " a consuntmaiion devoutly to be wished ;" nor can we conceive Li/ yvhat spe cies of legerdemain a Cabinet which sys 4 9nce supported as a model of political excellence, has been converted into an unholy cabal, a gang of greedy tax-eaters, or a drum-head Court Martial ! It is true his Majesty's Ministers have unfortunately abandoned their long-che rished opinions upon the merits of the Catholic Question ; but does- that circumstance qtforsl ;any argument- agaius&-the abilities or the honesty .of the individuals concerned? Does the mere fact of a change of opinion, upon a single poli tics, question, justify any person in denouncing aa ideots and traitors those Ministers whom he formerly supported as enlightened Statesmen and honourable patriots? We say decidedly, it - iloes not. It is ridiculous—nay, it is more than ridi culous—it is an act of the grossest injustice, to make the conduct of the Duke of Wellington on the Catholic Question a ground of opposi tion against his proceedings upon any other question of foreign or domestic policy. As well might it be said, that because a man is lame of his right leg, his intellects must of necessity be defective. We freely confess that such a revo- lution of sentiment as that which we have re cently witnessed on the Catholic Question is generally to be regretted; but we never can, and never will, agree to the absurd proposition re cently advanced, that when a man changes his opinion on a single political question, he neces sarily forfeits the reputation for talent or in tegrity which he may have previously enjoyed. The argumentunz ad hommem, though not always a fair, is at all times a most effective weapon of attack; and in the present instance we feel that we can apply it with infinite ad vantage. One of our contemporaries—the most violent of the Ultra-Oppositionists—has re cently declared his adherence to the cause of Par liamentary Reform. " Events change opinions" (says he), " and we now openly profess ourselves to be Parliamentary Reformers. For the first time in our lives we make this important con fession, and we do it under those feelings of conviction which speak to the heart, and tell us that such a change is indispensible." Far be it from us to doubt the honour of our contemporary in this act of " apostacy ;"—we wish not to be guilty of such intolerance ; all we ask is that he will extend to his former friends the same liberal consideration which he claims for himself. Convert the cause of Reform into the Catholic Question, and what difference is here between his conduct and the conduct of those whom he now denounces as profligate and unprincipled turncoats ? Not at all. In con• fessing his adherence to the cause of Reform, he has attended to the march of events ; Ministers have done the same in granting emancipation to the Roman Catholics ; and if his rule against a change of political opinions stand good, l►e him self deserves all those opprobrious epithets, as an apostate, which he. has so unsparingly applied to the Duke of Wellington and his colleagues. We have made these observations for the benefit of those persons who pique themselves on the violence of their opposition to the present Ad ministration. We are not amongst the number of those who delight in meddling with the opi nions of their neighbours ; but we must tell our contemporaries that their character, as men of principle and integrity, will gain little by the course which they are now pursuing.—Morning Post. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 28. EX-PARTE CANE, IN RE KEEL, A BANKRUPT. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after hearing the argu ments of Counsel, gave judgment in this case, which was an appeal front a decision of the Master of the Rolls, on a petition for setting aside the commission of bankrupt, and which had been dismissed by that Judge. His Lordship said, that considering the in timation which had been made by the bankrupt to one of his creditors before the commission was sued out, and the affidavits filed on the part of the bank rupt, he was of opinion that there was room for sus pecting the commission had been the result of collu sion. At the same time the facts disclosed were by no means Co clear as to warrant the Court in com ing to a conclusion. He therefore gave leave to have the validity of the commission tried in an action at law, and limited the petitioner to declare his in tention before the next petition day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 28. MIDDLETON AND ANOTHER V. FROST. This was an action on a bond which the defend. ant had entered into as surety for a person named Thomas Squire, one of the collectors of the assessed taxes for the Second division of East Brixton. The sum sought to be recovered was between 9001. and 1,0001., the amount of a deficiency in Squire's ac counts'. After some evidence had been gone into, verdict was taken for the plaintiffs, subject to a referetlm ELTCT VESTRIES. The long-pending question between the inhabit ants of the district of St. George, Camberwell, and the select vestry under the New Church Acts, re• specting a church-rate imposed by the select vestry, was degided on Friday last, the 24th instant, in favour of the inhabitants, the Judges of the Couit of King's Bench having given their judgment that the rate was illegal. SHERIFFS' COURT, JULY 28. CRIM. CON.-D'OYLY V. BEVILI.E. This waa an action brought by Mr. John Hadley D'Oyly, a gentleman residing in India, against Henry Edward Beville, Esq., Lieutenant in the sth Dragoon Guards, to recover damages for criminal conversation with the pla;ntiff's wife. The damages were laid at 5,0001. 'Mr. COCKBURN hating opened the pleading., Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE stated the case.---The de fendant having suffered judgment to go by default, it was only necessary for him to prove that adultery bad taken place between the parties. The plaintiff was the younger pti of the late Sir John D'Oyley, at whose death the title and property fell to his eldest son, Sir Charles D'Oyley, who was without any children, and the plaintiff consequently was his presumptive heir in the event of Sir Charles dying without issue. About ten or eleven years ago the Vi,..intiff, then about twenty-three or twenty-four yeas of ;,,•ig,o 7 married his present wife, who was then about cightegn. au Yi4mage, which was solemnized at Calcutta, was contracted upon mutual affection, and with the approbation of the fr;el:..d§ of all parties. The lady was also exceedingly respectably gOPllgg,ted. While they remained at Calcutta, they visited and Were visited by the most respectable persons there ; they alo fre.quently visited at the house of Sir Charles D'Oyty, ‘yhp was married to a near relation of the Marchioness of I:fast:lnas, They continued to reside in Caitiatta until it became necessary for Mr. D'Oyly to remove higher up t)lp pow)tri, and to a better station than he had before, The awry were, no doubt, aware that in the detached stations in pkdia there were very few Europeans ; the com pany aad,socioty of a wife was therefore indispensi hie, and she was,a.o,ast nrepissary companion. Mr. Doyly, it would be proved was s. Inogt 1 ,, pd and attentive I , usband, and 414nifestecf an af ection? that c t a - iminted almost to uxoriousness, In progress of time he be-1 came the father of three ehildien, two boys and a girl. In 1825 Mrs. D'Oyly's health waa greatly 4- 1 fated by the climate, and one of the children of the sfna,?. time became very ill. It was usual for Euro peans .to 1:.?/tiove their children to England at the age of four or 6 i , e,years, pot only for the advantage of receiving a good aaii - e-o alto for the benefit of their health. Mrs. D'Oyly . 's f.kea4.lt keing consi derably impaired, it was neeesiakry trait 5h4 shp,t,ild i.ccompany the children, and in 1825 shu took her deparAvg or England. The plaintli was not in of fluent ctreurriAti;nces—why, it was not necessary for him to state ; but he .;y,; ;ht just say that it arose out of the system pursued at ; J r College, where, thoitgi,l yc,i.nig• men might be improve{: f '.?r ir.itellectual acquirements, ,:':,.i!l that advantage was greatly (3..ip :: , terbalanced by thejniury which was done to them in a ii ecani ary polnt of 'yiew. Lir, D'Oyly, like other young gentlemen, felt the yernicioilts erects of this system, but he allowed his wife a thousand lioun.ds a-year during her absence in V-,ngland. person in . his situation in lifer This, for a wa s a very adequate arranged that Mrs. D'Oyly should leave tngland for India at the end of 1827, but when the time ar rived that she was to quit England, she peremp torily refused to go; in fact she had then become pregnant. She then quitted London and went to Gloucester, from thence she proceeded to Malvern, and from thence to Leeds, where the defendant's regiment lay, and where she passed as his wife, and was delivered of a child. Mr. Snow deemed it his duty to ascertain if the reports in circulation were correct, and he proceeded to Gloucester in search of Mrs. D'Oyly; from thence he proceeded to Mal vern, and thence to Leeds, where he found her liv ing under the name of Beville, and far advanced in pregnancy. Under these circumstances it became necessary to proceed with this action, and to insti tute at the same time a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court, in order that a divorce might be obtained. This was the case upon which the Juty had to de cide. Not one single circumstance could be brought forward to throw suspicion on the conduct of the income, and it was to the full extent of his means. She took with her a letter of introduction to a Cler gyman, named Snow, who resided in the West of England, and who was married to a sister of Mr. D'Oyly's. Mrs. D'Oyly, upon her arrival in Eng land, was met by her brother, and accompanied him to the house of her half brother, a gentleman named Vansittart, residing in Yorkshire. There she stopped about two months, and from thence went to the residence of Mr. Snow. In the spring of 1827 she came toLondon,and became acquainted with Mr. Beville, who is the son of a clergyman. His mother's name is Brown, having married again. She is a lady of considerable property, and the de fendant was the only son by the first marriage, arid was related by marriage to the D'Oyly family. Mrs. D'Oyly took a house in Bentinck-street, and here she first saw the defendant, and here the unfortu nate circumstances originated which gave rise to the action, for in March or April, 1828, Mrs. D'Oyly gave birth to a child, of which the defendant was father. He should have stated, that it had been plaintiff. lie was not able to produce witnesses from Calcutta, but it would be proved that, previous to the intercourse with Mr. Beville, she was a most affectionate wife, and from time to time spoke of her husband with the utmost affection. But when this connexion took place, his name was not mentioned, and the mention of him was dropped altogether. Mr. James Atkinson examined.—l resided at Calcutta at the time Mr. D'Oyly and his wife were living there; they were married in 1818; his age was 24 or 25 ; the lady was 18; she was the ►laughter of a gentleman named Thompson; I visited them constantly; the plaintiff is brother to Sir Charles D'Oyly, and his wife is related to Lady Hastings ; I am married, and my lady was in the habit of visiting them ; they lived happily together : the plaintiff ap peared greatly attached to her; they had three children, two boys and a girl ; in 1825 Mrs. D'Oyly left India, in consequence of the extreme illness of one of her children, and she brought the three children with her to England. It was utterly im possible for the plaintiff to accompany them, without the destruction of all his prospects. He allowed her 1,000/. a year, and when she complained of this being inadequate to her want , , he allowed her a larger sum. The plaintiff is the son of Sir John D'Oyly, and brother to Sir Charles, who married in 1814, but has no children, and the plaintiff is the heir-pre sumptive to his property. On cross-examination by Mr. Serjeant TADDY, he said, I knew Mrs. D'Oyly before her marriage; she went to India very young ; I heard it stated that she uas fourteen when she arrived, but I be lieve she came out before that age; when she was married it was said she was eighteen, but I believe she was more than that ; I frequently met them at parties in Calcutta; the society in Calcutta is not very extensive, but is on a very expensive scale. Mr. Serjeant TADDY —And so expensive, that when a lady and gentleman go out from England, they, i►i adopting the manners and customs of Eng land, are not considered as living sufficiently splendid. Mr. Alexander Melville said—l know the family of the plaintiff, and never saw greater affection sub sisting between persons in India. The Rev. Thomas Snow said—l am related by marriage to the plaintiff; my wife is his sister; when Mrs. D. came to England she was introduced to me by letter; I saw her about two months after she arrived in England ; on her arrival, she went to her half-brother, Mr. Vansittart, i►► Yorkshire, and then came to reside with me; her three children were under her care during part of the time she was in the country ; in the spring of 1827 she went to reside in Bentinek-street ; it was intended, first, that she should return to India in 1827, but her depar ture was postponed; in August, 1827, she explicitly and peremptorily refused to return; the children lived with her in Bentinck-street ; the defendant's mother was married three times; her first husband was uncle to Mr. D'Oyly; in consequence of some thing that I had heard I preceded to London, in March, 1828, in quest of Mrs. D'Oyly; from thence 1 went to Gloucester and Malvern. There I found the children in the care of a Mrs. Husband, who had been a servant i❑ the plaintiff's family. In con sequence of a communication made to me I pro ceeded to Leeds, accompanied by Mrs. Husband; I found Mrs, D'Oyly lodging at a house in Leeds ; had an interview with her, and found that she was preg nant, and near her confinement; I left Leeds a few hours after I had seen her ; on my return Mr Bel rille overtook me at Axminster; he took me into a private room and said his name was Belville, and stated that he wished the matter might be hushed up, and that Mrs. D'Oyly, after her confinement, might return to her husband. The only answer I made was The husband must decide that. Examined by Mr. Serjeant TADDY—Mrs. D'Oyly arrived in England in November, 1825, and came to my house in the following March ; she is now about 29 years of age. It is not the fact that she was left any length of time without any person receiving her, she staid with her children at my house some months, and then went to London; this was in the spring of 1826; she took the journey contrary to my wish, and that of my family; she was six weeks in London alone ; I never heard her regret that her husband's relations had refused to talie notic=e of her; I heard that she mixed in parties a good dual in 1826; she was a person fond of society, at 4 likely to enjoy the gaieties of London. Re-examined by Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE—Mrs. D'Oyly was reckoned a most attentive mother; son - 40;17)es she was very attentive to her children, and sorostimzs shP twglected them by going out; she was rather gay, and fond of nniYitlg in company. Was she fond of being admired 2—She was gay, and fond of observation. Eleanor husband, before her marriage, was in Mr, D'Oyly's service ; this was in 1826, when she wag re;iding in Yorkshire. In the spring of 1827 Mrs. D'Oyly wer r t tR live in Bentinck-street, and the Merida:it, who was introdnred by his mother, used to visit Mrs. D'Oyly; Mrs. D'Oyly used tp spe,k to her husband in affectionate terms before her acquaintance with the defendant. From Lon don she went to Gloucester, and then to Malvern, ,where she left the children in my care, and then Went to Lerdp. J afterwards accompanied Mr. *now tq Lpec)s, rpid ppinted out Mr. Belville; Mr. tphi me w hpre I should find Mrs. D'Oyly ; I went to her, she was then pregnapt, and told mr she was in the family way. Mrs. Mary Kay—l resided at Leeda In 1828, awl knew Mrs. D'Oyly ; she was confined at my house, and went by the name of Belville ; it was a boy ; the defendant afterwards lived with Mrs. D'Oyly, atidihey slekt tor,ether as man and wife. This . closed tlfe pli , tof the plaintiff. Mr. Serjeaikt TAnDY teen adtfref;s:e4 the Jury for the defendant, after which the Under.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Two young fellows who had come up to town, the oue from Birmingham, the other from Glouces ter, in order to get employment in London, were brought before Sir C. S. HUNTER, not having suc ceeded in their endeavour, and having no food nor place to lie in. In fact,, they appeared to be quite destitute. Sir C. S. HUNTER said that it was surprising the paupers did not stay at home instead of trudging up to London, as if London was paved with gold. He was sure that this was the time at which the real workmen most easily found employment. He bad himself occasion to employ several, and he knew that they required higher wages than were formerly demanded. The young men said that they could not obtain work at home, which, however, they were sorry they left, as things were in such a state in London. They had fallen into the error which other inexpe rienced persons had not escaped, that London was the best place for talents and industry of all sorts. Sir C. S. HUNTER told them to make the best of their way home, or they must, if found about the city in idleness, be disposed of in Bridewell. Mr. Hobler suggested in this case the propriety of giving to each of the young men a trifle to help him on his way home. Sir C. S. HUNTER—Do what is usual on such occasions. Mr. Hobler said the young men were without shoes, and it might be necessary for each of them to have a pair from the Compter to help them on the way. Sir C. S. HUNTER—Shoes ! No, no, they can get on very well without shoes. If they have not been in the habit of going without shoes, this is the weather and the time to begin to go barefooted.— (A laugh.) One of the applicants for relief said, that the soles of his feet were blistered, and would in a short time be much worse if he went on without shoes. Sir C. S. HUNTER could not think of giving shoes to men who were not supporting themselves. Formerly labouring men walbed without shoes at all, and he did not see why persons who were not sup porting themselves should not go and do so likewise. The countrymen were sent off barefooted, but with money in their pockets. &ignor Anthony Antonio, an Italian, was brought before Sir C. S. HUNTER, by Daniel Forrester the officer, under the following circumstances: — Forrester stated, that as he entered the lower hall of the Mansion-house, he observed the Italian gen tleman walking up and down in an evident state of uneasiness. Witness asked him what his business was, and was answered in very imperfect English, that it was something concerning his wife. Upon requesting to know what the matter was, however, the officer was addressed in such a manner as made the Italian an object of greater interest. " I want justice," said the foreigner, " and if I don't get it, I'll shoot." " Indeed," said the officer, " where are the pistols ?" The Italian walked away, but the officer having heard such formidable words used, went to him, and touching his pockets found that his customer was armed. Forrester instantly seized the pistols, which he found filled up to the muzzle with powder and brass nails, and brought Signor Antonio into the Justice-room, where rather a curious scene took place. . . Sir C. S. lIUNTER a asked the defendant who he was; and was answered sometimes in bad French and sometimes in bad English, to several interro gatories. _ . _ - He had, he said, been a doctor of civil and cede siastical laws• at Rome, but had been compelled by circumstances to leave that country, and betake him self to Ireland. He•fixed himself in Limerick, where he was adding to his patrimony by instructing the rising generation in the literature of the ancients, as well as in the continental languages. (By the by, before he went to teach in Ireland, he ought to have learned either the Irish or the English language.)-- A lady, however, became attached to him, and he married her. Before, however, he passed the honey moon, he found that she had another husband. Sir C. S. HUNTER naturally supposed that the resentment which the Italian had exhibted had been kindled against his wife. _ _ " No,'" said the Italian, " I vish to get her se parated." " Ay," said Mr. nobler," you wish to be sepa rated from her ?" " No, no," replied Signor An tonio; " I visit de first man to go away from her, and leave her to de second man."—(Laughter.) Sir C. S. HUNTER-Oh ! you wish to keep her yourself ? Signor 'Antonio—Ay, ay, dat is it. 1 vish her have all of me. Sir C. S. HUNTER —Pray, do you teach here now ? Signor Antonio—No; I no teach since I left Limerick. Sir C. S. HUNTER—Have you taken to your old profession again ? Signor Antonio—No, dat would not do, because if I was doctor of laws here, I would starve.—(Laughter,)—in which the poor Italian joined: Sir C. S. HUNTER—Do you carry on any busi ness ? Signor Antonio—Yes ; and my vife keeps shop. We sells cheese and backy.—( Loud laughter.) Sir C. S. HUNTER—WhatI a doctor Of civil and ecclesiastical law sell cheese ard tobacco ? Signor Antonio—Ah, ha ! If I don't, I starve. 1 tell you, better sell cheese and backy den eat no WittelA. Mr. nobler asked the Italian what he expected could be done for him, as regarded the lady ? Did the civil or ecclesiastical law of Italy give the title to the wife to the second husband instead of the first ? The Italian replied in the negative. lie thought his claim, however, would hold good in England, for in Italy he had seen many English wives living with their second husbands, and their first husbands living with second wives.—(Laughter.) Sir C. S. HUNTER thought it pi udent, as the Italian had rather a wild appearance and manner, was very unconnected in his narration, and had such weapons of destruction about him, to send him to the Compter, until it should be ascertained whether such a metamorphosis had actually taken place in his profession. GUILDHALL. Mary Fitzgerald vas committed for knowingly uttering four counterfeit shillings in the course of Monday afternoon, at the Blue Last public-house, in the Broadway, Blackfriars. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Phillips, solicitor for the parish of St, Paul, Covent garden, waited upon Mr. HALLS, and said he appeared before him in consequence of a statement which appeared in the Times journal of that day under the head of " Bow-street," which was calculated to do him injury as a professional man, if it remained uncontradicted. Mr. Phillips went on to state, that the paragraph in question purported to contain the opinions of the Magistrates zm i o thers with respect to the clumsy and defective manner in which the new Act was framed for the government of St. Paul's Covent-garden. It was also stated, that before it was five days in operation the opinion of Counsel was obliged to be taken upon one of its clauses. Now he (Mr. Phillips) having framed the Act in question, begged to deny that it \vas either clumsy or inoperative, but, on the con trary, it was fpund to work well; in proof of which one of the.overs.•ers, and also Dn c4l eof the Committee a for m inaegaiint)Poge3(tillierelalltffocicaiNri I' I 4 affairs l of the .parish, With regard to the statement respecting the opinion of Counsel, it was quite true that Mr. Corder, the vestry clerk, in his anxiety to discharge the duties of his dice, had obtained Counsel's opinion upon the bearing of a pa;•ticulaT clause in the Act, but, it was the unani mous o pinion or tie offiFers that it was quite unneces sa•y to do so, ari d fi l e (Mr. 'Phillips) hrid assured Mr. Corder to the same effect. The result proved that there was not the least necessity for the opinion of Counsel. Mr. Phillips, in conclusion, wished to know whether Sir Richard Birnie and M r . Halls had expressed themselves, with regard to the Act, in the manner stated. • Mr. HALLS replied . that' lie certainly had taken occasion to remark upon some errors which the act contained, and he believed Sir R. liirnie had done so too. It was not intended, however, by any re marks which might have been made, either to wound the feelings or injure the professional reputation of those who had framed the Act. He was glad to hear from Mr. Phillips that it was likely to work well, and he hoped there would be no occasion to apply next Session for an amended Act. - Mr. Ruddell (one of the churchwardens), Mr. Black, and Mr. Yockney, concurred in expressing their belief that the new Act would be found to produce considerable benefit to the parish.

Mr. Baron flum.ocx is rather better this morn ing, but still too much indisposed to go into Court. It has therefore been arranged that Mr. JERVIS shall assist in trying the prisoners, and Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, it is expected, will sit at Nisi Prius at three o'clock. Mary Taylor, an ugly old woman, was indicted for the murder of her male bastard child, by suffo cation. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN having summed up the evi dence, the Jury found the prisoner guilty of con cealing the birth, and the prisoner was sentenced to one year's imprisonment. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) St/GAIL—The demand for Muscovades during last week was languid, and the total sales of the week did not exceed 2,800 idls. and tes. Where parcels of good Sugars could be cleared off, a small reduction in prices was submitted to ; the brown qualities were in better demand, on ac count of the fruit season, and the prices of the latter were fully supported.

TYPOGRAPHY AND CALLIOGRAPNY OF GERMANY...—in this region of study and lucubration, it has been calculated that, out of a population of 42,000,000, there are 12,500 writers, or one learned penman in every 3,200 souls. The number of sheets printed has been esti mated at 187,000,000 per annum, which gives 47 sheets per head. Periodical works are not comprised in thi s calculation, though they form a mass of no trivial pon derosity. It would be superfluous to add, that if there be no country in Europe which can match the Teutonic in scribes, there is none which it does net distance in readers. —Literary Gazette. A HINT TO COACH-HIRERS.—A French man bailed a jarv e y in St. Paul's church-yard, and ordered coachey to drive him to Finsbury-square. When he ar rived at his destination, by way of St. Martin's-le-Grand and Ilarbimn, he inquiipd the fare, which appeared to him so enormous that he asked, " Could not you, Mister Coach-a-man, drag me mosh of a more near a vay ?"-- . 4 No, mounseer," bluntly replied coachey, " it's quite as near, I reckon, us going along Cheapsid e ." " Vat is dat? Sheap-side !" cried the Fr enc h man, i n an agony o f in dignation ; cc dat is de side for me, for vy you drag poor foreigner all along de dear side yen de sheap side do all as Je same !!' And it was some time before he could be_ per suaded that the fare in that case would have been aorauch.' PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. s.—Their. Majesties tht Empress of Brazils and the Queen of Portugal, with their respective suites, sailed on Sunday after• noon from Spithead, with a fair wind, in the Impe ratrix, attended by the other Brazilian frigate Isabel, and the corvette Maria Isabel, for Rio de Janeiro. The Gloucester, 74, Captain H. Stuart, from • the Eastward, anchored at St. Helen's on the same morning, when she took on board a fore-yard from this Dock-yard, and again weighed when the Bra zilian squadron made sail from Spithead. On the latter's arrival at St. Helen's, the Gloucester joined and sailed with them as an escort. She will attend them past the Western Islands, and then proceed to the Mediterranean. The Lord Suffield transport, which arrived o►. Saturday last from Sierra Leone, brought to Eng land 94 men of the Royal African Colonial Light Infantry, under the command of Lieutenant W. E. Stanley, as well as invalids, under the care of Hos pital-Assistant Murray. The colony, previous to the departure of• the Lord Suffield, had been more unhealthy than usual, the following having been re cent victims to the climate, viz.:—Kenneth Mac auley and Joseph Reffell, Esqrs., the former hat: been 20 and the hitter 14 years at Sierra Leone ; Lieutenant Patterson, R.A. Corps, Acting Major of Brigade; Messrs. dough, Christenson, Grove, G. Barber, G. Cole, Jarvis, M 4 Cullam, two Wes- le)an Ministers; Mrs. De Peir, wife of the Brazi lian Consul; Mrs. T. H. Barber, &c, There are not now any white troops at Sierra Leone, the garrison consisting of about 80, being composed of the Royal African Corps, and a recruiting party of the .Ist and 2d West India Regiments. Major Ricketts, the Lieutenant-Governor, was in good health, and had made many improvements—his measures were considered better than those adopted by his prede cessors. Instead of maintaining the liberated Afri cans two years on rations as formerly, he imme diately after their gaining strength locates them in the mountain village, and gives to each man an allotment of ground and 3d. per diem for six months; in which period many of them build comfortable dwellings. Besides throwing them on their own resources, this policy stimulittes them to habits of industry, and tends more to civilize them dm any steps that had been previously taken. The Royal Marine Artillery have this week sup• plied detachments to make up the full complement of the Britannia, Gloucester, and Melville. These are the only line-of-battle ships yet under orders for the Mediterranean. The Melville, 74, Capt. A. Schomberg, went out of harbour on Wednesday, and will proceed to that station as soon as Captain Schomberg is released from his dutieS as a member of the Court Martial now sitting on the trial of Capt. Dickenson. The Blossom,:16, Commander Richard Owen, arrived on Tuesday, from the Eastward. She will proceed, in the course of the ensuing week, to the East Indies. The Lightning, Capt. Dickinson, at Plymouth, will go out of harbour next week. She is destined to relieve the Heron, at the Brazils. DEVONPORT, SEPT. s.—ln one of the late heavy gales, on the Scotch coast, his Majesty's surveying vessel, Investigator, Mr. Thomas, Master, Commander, had a very narrow escape. At one time, running eight knots an hour, they passed a rock not ten yards distant, and another so near one could have leaped on it; however, by dint of perse verance and kindness of Providence, they were enabled to reach Moray Frith, off Cromarty, with some injury to her masts, nearly all the bulwarks washed away, with all the provisions, casks, live stock, &c., that were on deck. We learn that the Caledonia, 120, now under repair at this Dock-yard, is to take the place of the Victory guard-ship, at Portsmouth, in the ensuing spring. _ _ _ Thomas Byam Martin, K.C.8., Comptroller of the Navy Board, arrived here on Thursday with his Secretary, on an official visit, and returned to London yesterday. Mr. Foot, Chief Officer of the Coast Guard sta tion at Cawsand, seized a boat on Sunday night, off Port Wrinkle, in which were seven men, and 24 tubs of run brandy. A 74-gun ship is now building at Van Dieman's Land, with teak timber from Trincomalee ; and, strange to relate, India rubber is now generally used in sheathing vessels, by straining a thin coat over the surface. India rubber cotton is also used as an impervious covering, wherever such is requisite; and the use of both will shortly be extended to England. A Court of Inquiry is now sitting at St. Mary's, one of the Scilly Islands, to investigate certain charges of negligence against the Chief Officer and Chief Boatmen of the Preventive Water Guard at Tresco, with reference to a late smuggling transac tion on that island. Captain Evance, R.N., from Penzance, is the President. Mr. J. Perriam, Master, is appointed to the Isis; and Mr. Rae, Master, to the Pearl. The quarterly meeting of the Royal Naval Annui tant Society was held at their Rooms, in Fore street, and most numerously attended. The sue cessful progress of this institution is not only highly gratifying to the best wishes of its founders and friends, but must in its effects prove of infinite be nefit to the representatives of the various members. The Actuary, in his Report to the Committee, stated, that the present invested capital in the Bank of England amounted to 47,2001. (after the pay ment of two years' annuities and all expenses), and the number of members to 2,030. We have always advocated the cause of this society, inasmuch as its establishment for the amelioration of human cala mity, and its affording support when most needed, entitle it to hold a conspicuous rank among the many benevolent institutions which do honour to the British name. For the sole benefit of the naval service was it founded, and proud indeed should they feel at the Annuitant Society taking so high a stand. COLONIZATION. LANDLORDS AND TENANTS. In Two Parts—Plates.

TO THE EDITOR. Sin,—The communications you have lately published from Australia are amusing, and by call ing the att e nti o n of people in this country to a state of circumstances by which they may profit immensely, if they set about it in the right way, may be equally useful. The burden of the wri ter's song—the one great obstacle to the rapid improvement of that country, which he dwells on and re-asserts in every sentence—is the great scarcity, and consequent dearness, of labour in that colony. Other sources of information con firm the fact, that the employment of capital is checked, the most promising speculations stifled, not by the very high price alone of labour, but by the impossibility of procuring it on, any terms, in sufficient abundance. And this is the case in the colony of a mother country, in which labour is, by the admission of all parties, so hurtfully redundant, that a labourer's pay will not find bread for h a lf hi s f am ily ; and thousands of the working el4sses, able and willing to support themselves if work could be found, are maint a i ne d i n idl enes s by their parishes ; a heavy an d annually increasing burthen on the wealth and industry of the country.—.: Now what are the circumstances which pre vent the great demand fbr labour existing in our colonies from being supplied out of our superabundant stock at home, to the immense reciprocal advantage of both countries ? The expellee of the passage ? Not that, surely for the difference between a labourer's earnings here and at Sydney would, in trio years at furthest, redeem this cost, supposing him to earn only a shilling a day more there than here. If a la bourer articles himself, before leaving this coun try, to serve a farmer in New South Wales, for a term of three or five years, at a certain rate of wages, on condition of his passage being paid ; will not the law of the colony enforce the fulfil ment of the contract ? Surely, if, as in Eng- , land, imprisonment and convict labour followed the desertion or neglect of his work, the higher rate of wages earned there by unaiticled labourers could not affect him. An obstinate individual or two might, under such circumstances, give their masters trouble by doing as little work as pos sible, without incurring legal penalties ; but the many would see it to be their interest to earn a good character for skill and industry during the short term of their apprenticeship, that they may start with more advantage at its expiration. This might be further insured by some clause in ' the contract, giving the masters a power to de duct a part of the wages in case of the servant's neglect or misbehaviour. If the Colonial law does not give this protection to the rights of masters over articled labourers, surely it is an obvious improvement which ought not to be de layed a moment. But is not this extraordinary relative position of England and her colonies, with respect to the demand and supply of labour, of sufficient im portance to call for the interference of the com mon Government ? It might be thought that the emigration question has been amply dis cussed ; but if its advocates base failed in their ! attempts to interest the country, or at least Par- liament, in the subject, it is not only by having professed to accomplish too much at once, and by inadequate means, but chiefly by directing their efforts to promote emigration in a wrong manner, and to a wrong quarter. In the first' place, they erred by proposing to send out the emigrants as colonists, instead of labourers; a plan which exactly trebled the expellee of emi- i gration, by superadding to passage the cost of land, a house, tools, seed, and sustenance, for the man and his family, till his crops came round ; and moreover destroyed his character, by inspiring him with a habit of lazy depend ence on the aid of Government. Captain Hall has published a letter from a half-pay naval offi cer, settled in the neighbourhood of the experi mental colony, planted in 1825 by Government, at Coburg, in Upper Canada. He describes the emigrants as living in idleness and debauchery on their rations of pork, &c., part of which they disposed of for whiskey, at the very time that " labourers' wages were higher than they had ever been known, except during the war." So long as there existsan eager demand for labourers on the part of capitalists in our Colonies, it is surely suffi• cient to transport emigrants to the spot where they are so much wanted, without setting them up as ca pitalists themselves, by which the expellee is enor mously increased, and the evil rather augmented than diminished on the other side of the water. The expence of conveying an able-bodied la bourer to the Canadas is not above 41. 10s. or Si. at the utmost, and it would seem that pa rishes, or large landed proprietors might, with great advantage, expend so much to get rid of their redundant labourers. But if the repay ment of the expence of sending them away is contemplated, the Canadas must not be thought of, owing to their proximity to the United States, where labour bears an equally high price, and the emigrant, by moving a few miles across fo rests, through which it is impossible to track him, may avoid his contract, or get rid of his indentures, whenever he wishes it. This, there fore, is the second error of Mr. Wilmot Horton and his coadjutors. If sent out to the Canadas as labourers, the emigrants cannot be made to repay any part of the expe»ce. If bribed to re main by land and rations, they are demoralized and spoiled, while the expence is quadrupled. But with respect to Australia, no such objection applies. There no safe and profitable sanctuary is offered to a labourer who breaks the law. To imagine that he will take to the desert as a savage or bushranger, in order to avoid an engagement for a year or two at wages far higher than any he has been used to, and with the prospect of independence and even wealth before him, is ri diculous. It appears to me that this great ad vantage possessed by our antipodal colonies over the nearer ones of North America, has not been sufficiently considered ; but that it would be found to make all the difference between success and failure, in a scheme of emigration on a large scale, and supported by Government. Let us suppose Parliament to vote a sufficient sum of money to transport five thousand labourers to Australia. If each have a wife and two children the expence would probably be about 601. each, or 300,0001. in all. There can be little doubt, that on their arrival, employers would instantly take them off the hands of Government, engaging to pay the expence of their passage, by instal. ments, out of their wages; the men being bound by articles to this effect before they set out. If the experiment succeeded, a similar, or still larger exportation might take place the next year, and so on, to the incalculable advantage of both countries ; England not only saving the cost of keeping so many superfluous labourers in idleness and discontent, but gaining also the augmented de mand for her goods, which must immediately follow the increase of population and produce in her colony. Nor need there be a fear of glutting the market fbr labour there, so long as a land of immense fertility is to be had for asking. On the contrary, as your Correspondent has found, the demand for labour under such circumstances in Australia is insatiable, the labourers them selves, after a very short time of service, by the savings of their wages, becoming capitalists, and employers of labour. Thus the demand for labour, if steadily supplied, Must increase in au accelerated or geometrical ratio. I have shewn that the expellee of supplying it may be easily repaid, so that this country could not but gain, even if it were true, accord ing to the trite nonsense of the anta-etmgra tionists, that the numbers of the sur plus labourers at limo would nvt be effectually diminished; This objection of the vacuum being instantly refilled, is, however, but a false and miserable quibble. In the first place, because the void made by the withdrawal of a full grown labourer, cannot, under the worst circumstances of in crease, be refilled before the end of a generation, while the country or parish instantly begins to reap the benefit of his withdrawal. Secondly, - Gecause it is pros cable, that the increase is al ready fastest, where the population is thickest— in other words, that the removal of any number would rather retard than accelerate the increase of the rerilainder, who at present indeed multiply. to the full as fast as they can. It is impossible but that the quotient must be reduced by sub tracting a portion of the multipliers. Finally, those salutary measures which might be applied to counteract the tendency to too rapid an in crease, are prevented from operating by the ex isting redundancy, and would be greatly faci litated by its reduction. That some such scheme of Emigration as that I have pointed out above might be adopted wan infinite benefit both to the Mother Country and her Colony ; is, I think, abundantly clear; and I trust the subject will before long receive, both from the Government and the Legislature, the attention it deserves. It is peculiarly appli cable to Ireland, and would tend to lessen the burthen of providing for their poor, which every thing seems to shew will shortly be thrown, where it ought to fall, on the Irish landowners. C. C. FOREIGN INTELLIG-ENCE, FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Sept. 3.) PARIS, SEPT. 4.—We find to-day in the Ger man Journals nothing but reports which require confirmation, and some of which have been already disproved by the latest London Journals. Thus the \ruresnburg Correspondent announces, under the head of " Belgrade," that the French and English fleets, consisting of 28 meu•of-war, have entered the Black Sea, and that Turkey is now placed under the protection of those two powers. The accept ance of the treaty of 6th July is still spoken of as certain. The same Journal adds, that a greater part of the troops of the Grand Vizier had happily ar rived at Adrianople. Lastly, it is stated that the quarantine ordered by the Austrian authorities on the frontiers of the Principalities is now 40 days. This last news is the most probable, since the plague has broken out at Odessa and the neighbourhood. The King of Naples will pass through the south of France on his way to Madrid with the Princess Christina, sister to the Duchess of Berri, who is now going to ascend the throne of Spain. (From the Messager dea Chambres, Sept. 4.) SECOND EDITION. PARIS, SEPT. 4, NOON.—The following are the bases upon which it is said that Russia will consent to treat : Ist, The entire or unrestricted execution of the Convention of Akermann 2dly, The ces sion of two places on the Asiatic coast of the Black Sea. 3d, An indemnity of 100 millions of Spanish piastres (.500 millions of francs). 4th, The occu pation of Varna and Bourgas, as a security for the payment. 3th, The free passage of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. SYRA, JULY 10.—The last accounts from Candia state that the English Consul, after his installation, had sent his interpreter to the Candiot Chiefs to persuade them to lay down their arms, telling them, that as by the Treaty of the Gth July their island is to remain under the Turkish dominion, they must not expect any success from their enterprise.— These paternal exhortations have not produced the effect which the Consul expected, for the Greeks continue to harass the Turks, who are obliged to act on the defensive. (From the Monitfur of Friday.) LISBON, AUG. 19.—(PRIVATE CORRESPOND.. ENCE.)--The Princess Dowager of Brazil, _Donna Frances Benedicta, died yesterday morning, at half past four o'clock, at the age of 83 years, and in the 17th day of her illness (a bilious fever), a disorder which at present prevails in this capital. The death of this Princess has been greatly felt by all those who are about her, and who knew how much vexa tion she had endured since the return of her nephew, Don Miguel, to Portugal. (From the Journal des Debuts of Friday.) PARIS, SEPT. 4.—The resignation of M. Cha teaubriand cannot be accused of ambition or pride. He is not induced this time to enter the Opposi tion, by even the encouragements of an august Prince, the heir of the throne; nor driven from office by a sudden aggression. He had received no personal attack when he adopted the present course; nothing induced him to proceed thus but his con science. (From the Constitutionnel of Friday.) PARIS, SEPT. 3.—THE CHARTER ACCORDING TO THE ARISTOCRACY.—M. de Polignac had, Pt first, so marked an aversion, that to avoid swearing to observe its provisions, he avoided sitting in the Chamber of Peers for a year. The example of England, and particularly the progress which has been made by the doctrines of the Society of Jesus in France, appear to have dissipated his scruples and his repugnance. He will now make protestations in favour of our fundamental law. He will even, if necessary, take the word of M. de Bourmont, as a pledge of his candour. He is convinced, that by means of a good law of election, which will make France a real rotten borough, the Charter will be mose profitable to the aristocracy, than even ab solute power. The English Aristocracy, which seems to have deputed him to be the reformer of our InstitutionF, and the director of our policy, has already traced out to him by its Journals the course we ought to pursue. It has recommended three measures, and its affec tion towards France is a pledge that they are well selected. The first is to reform the law of elec tions, so that the aristocracy may be always certain of having an incontestable majority. The second, to reform the law of succession, so that the terri torial property which gives power may remain un divided in the families of the aristocracy. The third, to make such a law with respect to the Press that there may be no security in manifesting one's opinion except when it is conformable to the inte rests of the Aristocracy and the Catholic Clergy. The results to which the English aristocracy wishes to lead us by these means are easy to per ceive. There is no longer any means of re-esta blishing servitude as it existed in the good times of the feudal system ; if the restored aristocracy endea voured to spare the population and attach it to the land, that would be more dangerous to it than to France. It is no longer possible to transform France into a family estate, of which a prince would have the absolute disposal, on condition of sharing its proceeds with his courtiers. The re-establish ment of the regime, founded by Louis the Four teenth, is not less possible than the feudal regime. There is a third system, which it is much more practicable to establish ; and that is the one of which England presents us the model, and which M. de Polignac has just endeavoured to establish, and that is the general slavery of the industrious classes by the aristocracy,.tinder constitutional forins and names. _ In that system, which the English Government perfectly understands, the legislative power belongs exclusively to the members of the aristocracy. The public offices which lead to honours and fortune, be long only to men invested with legislative power, to their children, or relations. The; people who la bour, are the property of public functicinaries. The English aristocracy manages the industrially elesset. with great skill ; it leaves them the means of pro ducing we a l t h ; eac h i n di v id ua l may choose arc

checked. The labOurers are as free in their indus try and their commerce as bees in a hive. Bat this labour is no more advantageous to tht labourers than the honey to the bees. The Aristo cracy, by means of the taxes, which it alone has the power of imposing, absorbsthe great er p art o f their produce, and is distributed under different names to the different members of which it is com posed. The Parliament is, in fact, a machine which pumps out the tithes of the people into the hands off' the Aristocracy ; but, as it is an intelligent machine, it leaves to the industrious classes what is necessarf for their labour. The English Aristocracy allows some popular men to come into the Parliament, which is for its benefit. If men for whose advantage alone the in dustrious class is burthened, exclusively composed the Legislature, it might compromise its power by requiring more from the people than it totild pay. The popular men in the Chambers take care to ad vertise it when it is exposed to any danger. The Opposition in the machine of Government performs, in fact, the office of the valve in the steam-engine. The exercise of aristocratic power being attached to the possession of great landed property, it an be conceived bow younger brothers cannot have any share in the real estate which their parents leave at their decease. The children of an aristocratic family wordd, in fact, all fall into the vulgar ranks, if they shared in equal parts the property of their patents. The eldest then keeps to himself the landed estate, to which is attached the exercise of aristocratic power ; and he then makes use of that power to en rich his younger brothers at the expence of the in dustrious classes. We are much mistaken if we imagine, that, in England, all the property of an aristocratic family devolve exclusively on the eldest:: the latter takes, it is true, the real pro perty, which is exclusively the family property ; but the younger brothers have for themselves the eccle siastical benefices, richly endowed sinecures, or offices, which the public is forced to pay. Ali this property is considered as the patrimony of the fa mily, for we cannot too often repeat it, the aristo cracy places among its property, not only the land which it possesses directly, but also the industrious classes on which it imposes at pleasure, and the in come of which it shares. The aristocracy of England, which moat not be confounded with the English people, will never pre vent the industrious classes from belonging to any but itself, if it ran prevent it by any means. It feels that its own power, founded on the labouring classes of 'the countries subjected to its own empire, will never be uncontested, until the same classes every where else shall be possessed by one family or caste. So we see it always make common cause with barbarity against civilization. It takes part with Austria against Italy ; with Don Miguel against Don Pedro; with the Turks against the Greeks. If it sometimes declares for the defenders of liberty, it is only to get hold of their affairs, and deliver them to their enemies. Every where that it perceives any germs of liberty, it runs to corrupt or stifle them. If we judge of the projects of the Poligac Mi nistry by the previous ones of those who compose it, and by the revelations of the English Ministerial Journals, we may know beforehand what is the transformation which the Charter is destined to un dergo in their hands. Frenchmen will be equal in the eye of the law, whatever may be their titles and rank ; but the mass of the people will be struck with political incapacity, and all the public offices will belong to the aristocracy. They will contribute indiscriminately in proportion to their fortune to the expences of the State ; but the aris tocracy will reserve under the name of pensions and appointments the portion which it will have paid, and will share the rest. They will be admissible to the civil and military offices, but they will not really be admitted except according to the pleasure of the aristocracy. Their individual liberty will be gua ranteed ; no one will be arrested or prosecuted ex cept according to the terms provided by the aristo cracy. E ac h may pro f ess and practise his own reli gion, but no one must express an opinion contrary to the belief of the Romish Church. The French will have a right to print and publish their opinions, so that nothing is said contrary to the interests of the Church and Aristocracy. All property will be inviolable, and yet the aristocracy may subject all to such contributions as it shall think proper. Such is the Charter which the Polignac Ministry will give to France, if it can obtain a majority in the Chambers and the King's consent. It is for the lectors to see whether it becomes them to agree to such a regime; its fate is in their hands. FRENCH Fotins.—Five per Cents., 110 f. 109 f. 95c. ; Three per Cents., 80f. 95c. 90c.

FROM TAmPtco.--We learn from Captain Baker of the brig Prince Edward, arrived yesterday from Tampico, which he left the 9th of July, that the in habitants were in great alarm and confusion, the Governor and Collector having received despatches via New Orleans, containing intelligence that the expedition which sailed from Havannah was to make a landing at Tampico. All the militia from the surrounding country, including foreigners, were ordered out, and three batteries had been thrown up to aid in the defence. All the old Spaniards still remaining near the coast were ordered into the country, from 70 to 100 miles, immediately, or to be confined in the prison, at their option. FROM HAVANNAH.—By the fast sailing brig Dromo, arrived last evening from Havannah, we learn that another expedition, consisting of one 74., two frigates, and several gun•brigs, and a number of transports, with 4,000 troops, was fitting out at that place, to be joined by others from Porto Rico, des tined for the invasion of South America, to sail in about two weeks. There was a ru mour at Havannah when the Dromo sailed, but which could not be traced to an authentic source, that the former expedition had effected a landing, and taken possession of the castle of V era Cruz. We are indebted to a passenger on board the ship Cicero, Captain Rollin, for Havannah Papers to the 28th ult. inclusive. We learn from a passenger that the second expedition against Mexico was expected to sail about the 15th inst. FROM LIMA.-It appears from a letter published in yesterday's Gazette, dated Lima, April 24, that on the evening previous an attempt was made to excite a revolution in that city. It was promptly put down, and two of the ringleaders were already undergoing a trial. The writer states, that on ac count of the feelings of men, a serious change was to be looked for in a few days. We presume he must consider the present Administration as threatened by discontent, and the failure of their exertions against Colombia. " Our New Orleans correspondent, under date of July 14, writes,—.' It is currently reported that there are letters in town from Mexico, which state that the Mexican Government is about to order the ex pulsion of all Frenchmen from its territories.' " FROM PERU.-By an arrival at New Bedford, we have received Lima Papers to the 25th April inclusive. CONSPIRACY DISCOVERED. " On Thursday night (22d inst.) the individuals whose names are subjoined were surprised and taken in a house, situated in the street which leads from St. Juan de Dios to St. Jacinto : " Jose Garcia, Francisco Pena, Colombians. " N. Adriansen, a negro. " Manuel Bena, a deserter. " Mariano Adriansen, Manuel Ganguela, Ber nardo Ordonez, Manuel Miranda, Manuel Ligarro, Jose Granadas, countrymen. " Jua;Lde Dios Algorta, an officer. " N. Camborda, serjeant of the Union. " Juana Bautista, Francisca Nunez, women. " According to the information which we have obtained relative to the cause of their arrest, they appear to have proposed to overthr ow the gov7eA.. we nt, and immediately automate the whites. To promote so horrible an enterprise, One of them, who has unfortunately escaped, was commissioned to se duce the slaves of the neighbouring plantations. It is said that in the place where they assembled, various blank books have been found, in which certain orders are recorded, and even the names of candi dates for some of the principal offices. From these it is evident that all the conspirators were agreed in placing at the head of the government the mulatto Ordonez. We are greatly surprised to find among the number of these wretches, Juan de Dios Al gona, t yid Was imprisoned more than a year for being an accomplice in a former revolution, which was composed of nearly the same elements, which, if it could not be proved by, legal evidence, was not on that account the lest NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. The Journal of St. Petersburgh contains the fol lowing:— FROM THE CAMP AT AIDOS, 25TH JULY (6TH AITHUST).—Soon after his arrival at Aidos, Count biebitsch learned that the Mahomedan inhabitants of some villages near the town, who had fled into the mountains on the approach of our troops, had expressed a wish to return to their homes with their families, and there to live under the protection of the army. The General hastened to take advantage of this wish. After this communication, the inha bitants of twelve villages, all Mahomedans, encou raged by the assurance of his Excellency, delivered up their arms to us, and returned to their homes, and have received from the Commander-in-Chief letters of protection and safeguard. The same measure is beginning to be carried into effect further on towards Adrianople, and several villages have submitted and delivered up their arms to the vanguard of Count Pahlen's corps at Faki, promising to remain quiet under our protection. Under these favourable circumstances, the Com mander-in-Chief has thought proper to issue a pro clamation to the inhabitants of Rumelia (we have already given this proclamation.) News from the army of the Caucasus to the 10th (22d) of July, says—The Emperor has just received from the Commander-in-Chief the following parti culars of the operations since the taking of Erze reum :—ln order to protect his flanks from any at tack, Count Paskewitch sent out two expeditions— one under Colonel Leman, to Choriss, a fortified place at the distance of 100 wersts, on the road to Muscha ; arid the other under Major-General Burt zoff, to Berbrut (or Baiburdi), a fortress, at the di: :ance of 120 wersts, on the road to Trehisond. Moveable columns were sent to the Sanjacks of Atti, Nurimane, Schawtel, and Adschara, which had declared against us, in order to make them submit to the Russian Government. On the 4th (16th) July, before the departure of the expedition to Choriss, Deputies from the inhabitants of that fortress came to request the Count to take them under his protection against the troops of the Pacha of Muscha, consisting of bands who, on the news of the taking of Erzeroum, had surprised and plun dered the village of Choriss, and the neighbouring villages, while the Pacha was obliged to retreat with his troops to Muscha, and even further to Bittess. Colonel Leman was therefore ordered to occupy Choriss, which was defended by some cannon, and to afford all possible protection to the inhabitants. No enemy was any where met with in the San jacks of Atti and Nurimane, which had sent deputies to offer their submission. On the other side, Gene ral Burtzoff's expedition to Berbrut was completely successful. This fortress, which, with the town that it pro tects, is equal in extent to Kars, and is remarkable both for the cleanliness of the streets and the beauty of the buildings, was occupied, without any resistance, on the 7th (19th) July. The Major- General gives the following account of this event : " After our detachment had left the camp at Er zeroum on the sth (17th) July, it bivouacked on the banks of the little river Tschoroka, four or five leagues from Berbrut ; the way over the ridge of the mountains was very fatiguing,—at one place, where there were numerous galleys, the way was so steep and dangerous, that several of our waggons were precipitated into the ravine, where the horses immediately perished. " Our spies had informed us that the Kraja of the Seraskier, with the Pachas, Yaslia and Tystchi Oylon, had about 5,000 troops in this district, of which about 2,000 had returned to their homes; that the Pacha, with the remaining 3,000 men, in tended to defend the town, and that 500 were left to defend the upper works, two leagues from the place. On the 7th (19th) the spies affirmed they had met with these Turkish troops; according to his order, Major-General Burtzoff resolved to make himself master of the upper works, and then to ad vance. Major Sass, who was sent with 100 in fantry and some cavalry to occupy the works, was received with a discharge of musketry by the inha bitants, chiefly Greeks; some threw away their arms, and, preceded by the images of their Saints, came to meet us : thus we got possession of these works. " On its march from this place to Berbrut, the detachment met at the distance of twelve wersts from the town a deputation of the inhabitants, who brought a document by which they engaged to deliver up the town and fortress on the same condi tions as at Erzeroum, and engaged to the disarming the entire population both of the town and the adja cent villages. " The deputies told us that the Turkish Com mander, on hearing of the advance of the Russian troops, had left the town, partly on the evening of the 6th (18th) July, and the remainder on the morning of the 7th ( 19th); after plundering the Armenian villages iu the neighbourhood, they had dispersed in various directions towards Erdzinschon, Gemisch, Chan Trebisond, and Ispir. " After the occupation of Berbrut, we found there four cannon, a powder magazine, and a great quantity of provisions. On his march to Berbrut, Major-General Burtzoff met a great number of the inhabitants, who were retiring with their families into the interior Turkish provinces; among them were many who came from Kars, Sevires, Madoc hengher, and other places; but when they learned that Erzeroum was in our possession, they gave up their plan of seeking an asylum elsewhere, and re turned to their homes. " The Paella of Varna, who has succeeded in collecting about 10,000 men on the frontiers of the Pachalik of Bajazid, had made a vigorous attack on that fortress at the end of June (beginning of July), but he was repulsed after a sanginary engagement, by the brave garrison of that place, under Major- General Possoff, and notwithstanding his superior force, obliged to retreat. He had encamped fifteen wersts from Bajazid, intending to wait for reinforce ments; but having learned on the sth (17th) of July, the taking of Erzeroum, he left his camp with his troops, and fled. " Thus the success of eur arms on the centre of the line of operations, has secured a part of our left flank against all the attacks of the enemy. His first defeat near Bajazid cost us 300 men in killed and wounded." Together with this report, Count Paskewitsch sends to the Emperor the keys of the fortress of Choriss, and four horse tails, insignia of the Deputy Seraskier, which fell into our hands with the Sera skier, three standards belonging to those horse-tails, and four standards of the regular infantry, all tro phies from Erzeroum ; lastly, the Sanjack: standard of the Seraskier, and the standard of li;s Master of the Horse. There are also three horsetails, four standards, and one truncheon, belonging to Yagdhi Pacha, who left them behind him in his house when he fled.

The Gazette de France extracts an article from the Nuremburg Correspondent, in which under the head of Belgrade, it is said that the French and English fleets, consisting of 28 men of-war, have entered. the Black Sea, and that Turkey is now placed under the protection of those two Powers. The acceptance of the Treaty of the 6th of July is still spoken of as certain. The Messager des Chambres, in a Second Edition (Sept. 4), has the following pas sage :—" The following are the bases upon which it is said that Russia will consent to treat : Ist, The entire or unrestricted execution of the Conven tion of Akermann ; 2dly, The cession of two places on the Asiatic coast of the Black Sea. 3dly, An indemnity of 100 millions of Spanish piastres (500 millions of francs). 4th, The occupation of Varna and Bourgas, as a se curity for the payment. sth, The free pas sage of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles." These terms are some of them so severe, that the SULTAN, we should conceive, hard pressed as he is, would not think of complying with them. The Journal des Debats takes up the cudgels in behalf of M. DE CHATEAUBRIAND, with much warmth and animation ; and the Constitutionnel has a long article under the title of " The Charter according to the Aris tocracy," which will be found in another part of our Paper. The Journal of St. Petersburgh received by the Flanders mail, contains an article dated from the Camp at Aidos, in which Count DiEniTscx states that he has hitherto been successful in pacifying the minds of many of the Mahometans in the neighbourhood ; the inhabitants of twelve villages delivered up their arms, and put them selves unreservedly under the protection of his army, and that the same measure is beginning to be carried into effect further on towards Adria nople. The effects of this - consummate policy, the most flattering and enduring form that con quest can assume, will be felt to the advantage of the Russians, for years to come. From the army of the Caucacus, the same Journal gives intelli gence of some successful operations which have followed the capture of Erzeroum. Our readers will find extracts from the despatch of the Com mander-in-Chief, Count PASKEWITSCH, on the subject, in another column. The Austrian Observer states, that on the 6th of August news was brought to Corfu by the steam-boat, from Zante, that the Greek National Assembly was opened at Argos on the 23d July, on which oc casion Count CAPO DISTRIA made a very long speech. It was not known who would be Pre sident, but it was thought it would be Admiral MIAULIS. According to the same authority, trade and commerce have become so active at Bucharest, since the recent successes of the Russian troops, that the inhabitants might imagine themselves living in a time of general and profound tran quillity. The late report of the flight of the SULTAN to Asia, is, it seems, not confirmed. We have Gibraltar Chronicles this morning to the 18th ult. The Exchange w as 48k. These Papers contain no intelligence worthy of notice. American Papers have been received. They observe that the expedition which sailed on the sth of July from the Havannah against Mexico, is supposed to have landed on the Mexican coast, from the circumstance of the Bingham, one of the transports that conveyed the Spanish troops, having been spoken, on the 22d of July, in the Gulf of Mexico for New Orleans. A second expedition was fitting out at the Hawn nah, the destination of which was supposed to be either the coast of Mexico or of Colombia, A conspiracy to overthrow the Government had been detected at Lima, and the principal con spirators had been arrested. Extracts from these Papers will be found under their proper head. By the German Papers which arrived this morning we learn, on the authority of private letters, received by way of Hamburg from St Petersburg!), that Count DIEBITSCH had en tered Adrianople, and Count PASKEWITSCH Trebisond. The reports are not much entitled to credit, but we give them as a specimen of the on dits of the day. Another rumour, which is also of a doubtful complexim, states that the Treaty of the Gth July was definitively agreed to by the PORTE on the evening of the 7th inst. A hatti-scheriff was shortly to be published, proclaiming liberty to Greece. Accounts from Belgrade state that the GRAND VIZIER was reported to have arrived from Shumla with part of his troops at Adrianople, which the rumour above alluded to announced to have been entered by Count DIEBITSCH. Other accounts mention that the Russians are ad vancing rapidly towards Kirk-kilissa, that Count DIEBITSCH has 60,000 men under his com mand, and that the enemy cannot muster strength to oppose his progress. This, we think, is the most likely account of any. HAMBURG, Ace. 31. —Private letters from St. Petersburgh of the 22d instant announce, that shortly before the departure of the steam-boat official news had been received that Count Diebitsch had entered Adrianople, and Count Paskewitsch Trebisond. However, as we learn from Belgrade, that on the 13th inst. Adrianople was still in the possession of the Turks, and as the report of Count Paskewitsch, which came down to the 22d of last month, does not speak of operations against Trebisond, these statements require confirmation. CONSTANTINOPLE, Ace. 10.—The Treaty of 6th July was definitively agreed to by the Porte on the evening of the 7th instant, subsequently to the receipt of an urgent note from the British Ambassador, in which he is said to have declared that "on acceding to the terms of the Treaty, to which England had bound herself, the Porte would he immediately taken under the protection of that Power, and might rely upon her assistance." A Hatti Scherif is shortly to be published, proclaiming liberty to Greece. No intelligence probably ever caused such a sensation here, and general anxiety is felt respecting the influence which it will have on the march of the Russians. It is said that an English advice-boat has sailed to-day for Bourgas. The Russians are advancing rapidly towards Kirk kilissa, and the force that can be opposed to them is not sufficient to stop so enterprising an enemy. It is known that Count Dichitsch 1111560,000 men under his command. The Porte has published no account of recent events, hut it is affirmed that the Grand Vizier has left Shumla with most of his troops and gone towards Selimno, whence he hopes to reach Adrianople, which has not been put in a state of defence. The Sultan is sometimes at Terapia, and sometimes in Ramis Tchiflik, and neglects nothing to forward the measures taken for the defence of the capital. Tranquillity prevails every where, and the Government doubles its vigilance to maintain order. On the approach of danger this is the more necessary, as several of the great men advise peace, and this wish is even repeated in the Divan. Of the levy of 80,000 men, ordered some time ago, about the half hare been raised. BELGRADE, Aix. 17.—This afternoon, the Pacha re ceived dispatches by a Tartar, who came in four days from Adrianople. The Grand Vizier is said to have arrived from Shumla, with part of his troops, for the defence of that important city, leaving Hussein Pacha to command in Shumla. HAMBURG, SHPT. I.—ln our Borsen-halle article of Friday we alluded to the report then already pretty gene rally circulated here, that the conditions of the Treaty of the 6th of July had been consented to by the Ports, and that couriers had been sent to the different Courts with the intelligence. The report has since been most indus triously kept afloat ; but we regret to say, that no official, or even demi-official confirmation, of so welcome an event, has yet reached us ; on the contrary, we are apprehensive that the total silence of the Prussian State Gazette and the Austrian Observer must be considered in the light of a tacit contradiction. BORSEN-HALLH, FOUR O ' CLOCK.-Transactions in Funds have not been very extensive to-day; but prices are firm, at the quotations below : _ !End of August.

She brings a large amount of specie, and a quantity of Co• chineal, on merchants' account. The weavers, we regret to say, are again at work with the old story of riot and insubordi nation. During the past week, they have been distinguishing themselves at Barnsley in that particular line of business, which will, no doubt, entitle a few of them to take a high rank as con victs on board his Majesty's hulks. At Man chester, too, if not absolutely riotous, they are still sullen and threatening ; and, " after twenty weeks' suffering," (we quote the language of the Manchester Times of Saturday) " still seem determined to starve on rather than submit to the terms offered by their employers." Now, can any thing be . more preposterous than this? Sooner than accept a little, and wait confidently and unmurmingly the approach of better times, which cannot be far off—for we never yet knew a period of commercial languor that was not al most immediately afterwards succeeded by a re action in trade—these unfortunate mechanics prefer taking nothing at all ! Starvation, they think, is better than poverty, and perverseness the certain key to success. For their own sakes, we hope they may find it so, but the experiment at best is dangerous, and should it not succeed, c annot fail to involve them in distresses, deeper —far deeper than any into which they have yet b e en plunged. The case lately before the public of the arrest of an innocent person by the clerk of Mr. C LILL COTE, an attorney, in the absence and without the authority of his master, upon a false affidavit o f debt, naturally suggests the reflection whether any means can be devised for the better protec tion of the public against offences of this nature. The question of the expediency of the system of arrest for debt in general does not exactly arise out of this transaction, as it was one where the power of those who are authorized to hold persons to bail, was usurped by one who was wholly unauthorized ; and it is there fore more immediately useful to consider how, in the event of the continuance of the law of arrest, similar frauds may be prevented in future. There is no probability of arrests being abolished at present—the commercial world are not yet prepared to part quietly with so powerful a re medy against debtors ; and without giving an opinion here upon its justice, it should not be overlooked that the manner in which our trade is carried on absolutely requires credit, and often very long credit, to be given ; and therefore we doubt whether the abolition of arrests would have the effect of making merchants and trades men shorten their present credits, as is strenuously insisted in some quarters. It is well known that our Courts exercise over solicitors a special jurisdiction, arising from their being in fact officers of the Court—that the Judges frequently :fine them for malpractices ; and in case of gross offeNces, like that we allude to, strike them off' the roll, and thereby disqua lify them for ever from the practice of their pro fession. The Solicitors themselves, therefore, being in a situation of immediate responsibility, the point seems to be to prevent the indiscri minate use of their names upon writs by clerks and others ; and we should suggest, that in addi tion to the present regulation, requiring the at torney's name to appear upon the writ, such name should be obliged to be in the handwriting of the attorney himself, and that counterparts of the signatures of every London attorney (as no other can issue a writ) should be deposited in the Seal-office, through which all writs neces sarily pass. This regulation would be a great security against fraud, and would compel every attorney to be personally conversant with the circumstances under which an arrest is made in his name. In London the plaintiff himself makes the oath before the proper officer of the Court, who signs the writ, but when an affidavit made iii the country is presented, the officer has no means of knowing whether it be a forgery or not, beyond the sig nature of the Commissioner by whom the plain tiff is sworn, and which signature the officer is seldom, if ever, familiar with. It would be de sirable, therefore, if counterparts of the signa tures of all Commissioners were kept by the signers of the writs ; and if it should be objected that every country attorney is a Commissioner, and their signatures would be too numerous to be promptly referred to, the answer is that their number ought to be reduced. One Com missioner is quite sufficient for a moderately sized town, and two or three for the large:t (which would then be as well off as the metro polis), and their diminution would, we think, add to their respectability as officers of trust, and add weight to the solemnity of oaths which can be but lightly regarded when administered by the meanest and most contemptible of practi tioners. Experience certainly shows that no means for preventing frauds are infallible ; but it is surely the duty of the Legislature to use every exertion in its power to remove the temptations offered by the present system to unprincipled persons, who are aware how little risk they run in making attempts like that of Mr. CHILCOTE'S clerk ; and we think the Law Commissioners would do well to turn their attention to the subject. It answers little purpose for people to declaim against arrest altogether—the time is not yet ar rived for its removal ; but, in the meanwhile, those will do the greatest service to the community, who exert themselves the most for the reforma tion of the abuses to which this system is unfor tunately at present liable.

Consols, which left off on Saturday at 89i to i for the Account, opened this morning at 891, and for money 88i 89, with no business of Consequence doing as yet. The following, dated Portsmouth, Sept. 6, has been received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house :—" We have to inform you of the arrival this evening of his Majesty's ship Druid, from Vera Cruz, Tampico, Havannah, Ja maica, and Curacoa, having specie and cochineal on board. The amount and quantity we cannot as certain. She sailed from the latter place in 35 days." Extract of a letter from Vera Cruz, dated July 14 :—" All is quiet here; but we are in a great uncertainty in regard to the result of the Havannah expedition. Within these few days General Santa Anna has been here, who is displaying the greatest activity for the defence of St. Jean d'Ulloa, whose garrison is now complete. Santa Anna has laid a contribution of 30,000 piastres on the commerce, in support of the preparations he is making." Accounts from Cadiz of the 18th August state, that it was reported that the expedition to Mexico would land at Solo la Merina, about 60 leagues to the north of Vera Cruz, where they have a great number of partisans ready to join them. On the 12th instant arrived here from Ferrol, Admiral Andre Sartorio with four men-of-war, others are also ready here for sailing ; and it is believed that the intention of Government is to send to South America the conscripts of 1827 and 1828. Accounts from Valparaiso state, that information had been received from Lima of the 19th March, and from Truxillo of 12th March, stating that the Peruvian army, under General Lamar, had obtained a victory i►► a pitched battle over the Colombians.

These Sessions commenced this morning at the Session s House, Clerkenwell-green, before J. CONST, Esq. Choir' man, and a full brnch of Magistrates. After a few assault cases of no public importantx, William Hodsel was indicted for an assault on 1 0 wife. Mr. AnoLextis in stating the case observed, thg t rases of this description had gen era lly b een treate d °' Court with a levity that they did not deserve. This oe r was not one in which the husband and wife could be p ro pel t , ld to " kiss and be friends," but it called for a punish' ment that would make the prisoner remember that he Wo n not allowed to ill-treat the prosecutrix with impunity, be' cause she was his wife. Catherine Braw Hodsel stated, that the prisoner, her husband, was a brass-worker ; lie had been formerly her first husband's errand boy, but she had married him since her husband's death, and he had treated her on all twee' sions very ill. On the day laid in the indictment, he first threw a bag of tools at her, which she parried from her head, lie then threw her down against a vice, and hurt her shoulder ; she ran up stairs and he followed her with a c Irving knife; she bolted the door, and he stabbed the knife through the panne!, aed told her that 0 much of the knife as was through the door he would send into her body. He kicked his foot through another pan ne', and the prosecutrix was so frightened that she jumped out of a first floor window, and went to a neighbour's. Mr. C. Pmmars, for the defendant, asked her if she was not very jealous of the defendant. The prosecntri replied that her health bad been affected by him three times, and that he had, since their separation, brought women to sleep with him in her lied. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty ; and the Cwain - MAN told him that he had mistaken the power of a htin hand rery much. For instance, a man had no right t° throw a stool at his wife.—(lt was here intimated to th e worthy but aged Chairman, amid much laughter, that it was a bag of tools, and not "a stool," which the defendan t had thrown.)—The Court suspended the sentence till Friday. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAT.) WESTERN CIRCUIT-BRISTOL, Sm. 4. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, THE VENUS, AND TUX ROYAL GEORGE. HARVEY AND OTHERS V. GETHING. Mr. PATNE opened the pleadings. The declaration stated that the defendants were owners of a small vessel called the Duke of Wellington, which vessel had rec e ived considerable injury by the wanton act of the defendant , for which the plaintiff now sought compensation in di. mages. The defendant pleaded four special pleas of jut' tification and also the general issue. Mr. Serjeant WILDE addressed the jury. They bed heard from his learned friend that this was an action to recover compensation in damages for injury sustained hi the Duke of Wellington—(A laugh)--of which vessel his clients, very respectable merchants, were the owners and master—(A laugh)_bnt the real question ja the cause was the right of all vessels trading to Newport, Monmouthshire, to use the wharfs on the banks of the river Usk, for the purpose of loading and unloading their cargoes on the payment of certain rates. On the sth 0 1 May the Duke of Wellington, loaded with corn, arrived at Newport, and fastened herself to the wharf b e long' ing to the defendant, who shortly afterwards ordered her off, which order not being immediately complied with, he cut the cable and sent her adrift. The particulars of this ill-natured act towards the Debt he would prove by witnesses, but he considered the principal question in the cause was one for the decision of his Lordship, resting entirely on the construction of the 15th Section of an Act of Parliament, passed in the 42d year of his late Majesty's reign, entitled " An Act for im proving the Navigation of the river Usk." That Section authorised the erection of wharfs on the River, and fixes certain rates that should be demanded by the owners 0 1 them, for the loading and unloading of vessels. It also directed that rings and chains should be fixed to the walls for the accommodation of shipping frequenting that part of Newport. Now, as he (the Learned Counsel) before said, the real question (and a very important one it was to the shipping interest) was, whether this ac commodation could be demanded as a right, or was it necessary to have the consent of the owners of the wharfs. He would prove the defendant's conduct most ill-natured, and trusted he should have the opinion of the Court 00 the construction of the Art in favour of his client ; be should rely confidently on their verdict. Thomas Williams examined—Witness was mate to the Duke of Wellington. On the sth of May they arrived at Newport, about six o'clock in the evening. The Venus was unloading at the defendant's wharf, and the Duke dropped quietly alongside of ber.—(A laugh.)' The Royal George was not far off.—(A laugh.)—After the Venus had discharged her load, the Duke got into her birth, and was fastened to one of the rings in the wall of the defendant's wharf. The defendant shortly after wards told the Captain of the Duke that he must be offs as the Royal George wanted to come in. The Captain refused, and said he had as good an authority and as much right to be there as the Royal George had. The de fendant said " Oh, oh ! have you ; we will try wha t effect cutting the rope will de." The Captain replied' " This is the first time, Mr. Gething, I ever was at Newport, and, from the reception I have net with, I hope it will be a long time before I come again." The defendant then said, you had better at once take yourself off now. The Captain then gave or dere to let out more rope, so that the vessel dropped down to the next wharf, and although fastened to one of the rings of the defendant's wharf, no part of her lay before it except the bowsprit. This, however, did not satisfy hinit and after some further angry conversation, he cut the ship e cable, and sent her adrift. The tide running high at the time, she was considerably damaged. Mr. Serjeant WILDE—I believe the Duke of Welling" ton, after her cable was cut, run foul of some other ves s e l ' Witness—Yes, Sir, of the Venus.—(Laughter.) Mr. Serjeant WILDE-Well, what happened the" Witness--The tide was running very high, and at tha t moment the Royal George came up and struck the DO I of Wellington with such violence as almost turned him round.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Serjeant Wunx—Your vessel the Duke of 0 1 lington was considerably damaged? Witness, Yes, Sir. William Hall, a pilot, corroborated the above evidence' and added that when the defendant cut the ship's cabl e they had unloaded all the cargo except five sacks of c ool which would not have taken them many minutes longer' but he would not wait. A reference was here proposed, and after some consul' tation between Counsel, it was agreed to refer the decisioo of the case to the Water-bailiff and Custom-house Officer of Newport. The case excited considerable interest. LIABILITY OF COACH raorairrons........arapimis b. NIBLETT AND LANE. This was an action to recover, 331., the price of a horse. The defence was that the horse was purchased by Lane on his own account, and that Niblett was not liable• Evidence was produced to prove that Niblett and Lane were joint-proprietors in the Bath Mail, but they had tui connection hi the'coach for which the horse was purchased• I,n-d Chief Justice TINDAL held that all coach pr?- pt ietors, whatever might he the terms of the partnership between themselves, were jointly liable for all debts con tracted in any manner connected with such partnership. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 331. This was the last cause for trial. The Lord Chief Justice left Bristol on Sunday morning for London. In Paris there is at present an unusual com petition in the purchase of wines. At Beray more than a hundred thousand pieces were lately sold at high prices for the consumption of Paris. This is occasioned by the prospect of the next vintage, which will be a bad one. OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.--Mr. WILLIAM AHERN, of Hernsbrock, and Mr. MICHAEL Coot" of the county Cork, were fired at by an assassin near Castletown Conyers, in this county, on Monday evening. One of the horses was slightly wounded, but fortunately the riders escaped unhurt. Wiwast WALSH, a labourer, was fire d at and severely wounded at Anglesburcugh, in this county , on Friday last, by a man unknown, who rested his gun on the hedge while he aimed at his object. The b , " entered his right breast, and passed out under th e shoulder. Little hopes are entertained of his recoverf',. On the evening of Sunday l ast , an arme d par ty °' about forty men, most of wh om were mounte d ' entered the premises of a farmer at Liscarrol, in th e county of Cork, on the borders of this county. and forcibli carried away his sister, MARGARET O'BRIEN. O'BRIEN and lit , r brother resisted, but were assaulted and overpowered by the banditti. On their departure 0,9 left three men as a guard to prevent pursuit. Her brothe r nevertheless escaped, and followed the party into this county, near Ballingary, when GEORGE MassaY, immediately sent the police in pursuit of the offenders/ it is said, remain in that neighbourhood in arms. A few nights back four cows, the property of Mr. RoBeRT Cvs sitat, of the Courtenay Arms, Newcastle, were disfigured by cutting the top joint off of each cow's tail. Mr. Cusszie had lately got possession of the lands they were grazing on —Limerick Chronick.

SON, R. N. PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY-TENTH DAY. At the meeting of the Court at nine o'clock this morning, Mr. Andrews sent a message to the Pres:- dent, that he was desirous of saying q few words, in consequence of something which he wished to ex plain in his evidence of yesterday. He had under stood that he was supposed to be implicated in the ship's company's letter, of which he had already said he knew nothing, except what he had mentioned. His reason for troubling the Court was, that he had understood yesterday it had been intimated that Commander Dickenson and the crew of the Genoa did not get up this letter (the round robin), but somebody did ; and he understood his name had been used as that of a person likely to give farther information upon it. " I have already," continued Mr. Andrews emphatically, " declared that I know nothing about its origin. I have been 34 years in the service, arid I hope I know better than to be engaged in such an act, and when Captain Dickenson mentioned it, I expressed my opinion upon it." The PRESIDENT.-Mr. Andrews, we have not the slightest reason to suppose you were concerned in getting up that paper; and if we even had thought you were involved, your evidence of yesterday, in which you stated that you had endeavoured to dis suade the Captain from presenting it, would have completely effaced such an impression. Sir ROBERT OTWAY repeated the same opinion. The JUDGE,ADVOCATE.---I am bound to say, tha, Sir Edward Codrington had not the least idea that Mr. Andrews had any concern in getting it up. The following interrogotaries were then put to Mr. Andrews : Did you know at the time you were apprized of this letter, that any body had been appointed, or was about to be appointed, to the command of the Genoa ?—I did not. Had you heard any rumour or conjecture of such nomination ?—I had not. In fact, this occurrence, as well as I remember, took place only two days after our arrival in Malta. JAMES COLLIER was then called to speak con cerning the round robin. What situation did you fill on board the Genoa on the 20th of October, 1827, and subsequently?— Boatswain's mate. Can you read ?—No, Sir. State to the Court what you know of this round robin ?—A letter was requested to be written by the petty officers and ship's company at large to the Vice-Admiral, requesting )aim to keep Capt. Dick enson as commander. If you know who wrote that letter, name him ? I cannot exactly state who did, nor did I hear it read on board, though I knew it had been, and I saw the letter myself at the time it was agreed to on the lower deck, before James Burgess, the captain of the forecastle. The letter in Court was very like what I saw on board when 100 or 200 of the ship's crew were present, or more, attending to it. The PRESIDENT—Do you know what it was that led the ship's company to do this Being used to Captain Dickenson, we did not like to have a strange commander; we preferred to have him. Sir R. OTWAF—Do you know by any means whether Captain Dickenson, or any of the ward room (I don't mean petty) officers,had any thing to do in getting up that letter ?—No, Sir; none. Captain INGLEFIELD—You are quite confident of that, are you ?—I am, Sir. The PRESIDENT—Where were you stationed in the action ?—Third gun from the mast on the main deck. Had you hot work of it ?—Yes, we had. From what ship were you engaged most 2—The Turkish line-of-battle ship. For how long ? —lt might be four hours, I think. Do you know whether your gun was at any time pointed at any thing else than that Turkish ship ? No, Sir, we always fired at her. I was captain of ,t_ _ he gun. Had you to train it much to fire at her ?—Some- times we were about half a point forward. At what part of the ship which was so near you did you point your gun ?—Between wind and water. Were you lying head and stern ?—Yes. Could you see her bowsprit ?—Yes, and it was nearly in a line with my gun. Sir H. BLACK wooD—Does it come within your own knowledge that all or a great portion of your starboard guns were fired during the time you speak upon your opponent ?—Yes, Sir. Did the ship vary her position much ?—About half a point, I should think. Do you know whether springs were made use of and how often ?—Yes, Sir, once I can speak to. Were the stern guns on the main deck fired ? Yes, from the larboard stern port. Do you know that at any period during the action any and what number of guns were fired on the larboard side ?—None that I know of; but they might. Did you see the object on which the larboard stern gun was fired ?—To the best of my recollection it was at a double-banked frigate. I saw that myself. Could you see the Asia out of that stern port ? Yes, Sir, by looking two points on the starboard quarter, I think. _ _ Did you see a schooner or cutter lying near her or astern ?—No. Was that double-banked frigate a cable's length from you ? Two lengths I think, I can't be positive. Captain SCIiOMBERG-I ask you, as a seaman, was the Genoa placed advantageously to bring her broad side to bear upon her opponent during the action ? Yes, Sir. Captain MUNDY—CouId the stern gun have been Pointed to the Asia, if you had wished it ? I can't say, Sir. - Captain ELLIOTT—Was your opponent (the Turkish line-of-battle-ship) ever two points abaft your beam ? No, Sir, never, I think, above half a point. How often could you see your opponent so as to take aim ? I believe about every quarter of an hour, or 20 minutes. Could you at that time see the whole of the ship, or only a part of her ?—Sometimes part, some times the whole. Did you ever see the Albion during the action ? No, Sir. Were you ordered to point your guns at the water line ?—Yes. With what shot ?—Always round shot, sometimes double, sometimes single. The PRESIDENT—Were they constantly firing during the whole of the action, I mean your gun ? —Yes, Sir. Capt. INGLEFIELD—Was the Genoa raked at any time of the action, and if so, by what ship ?-1 can not say; no shot came in at my quarters in a raking direction. There were several shot next day on our side. Were any men killed or wounded at your quarters ?--None at my gun. Capt. GORDON—Are you sure that the starboard stern gun was ever fired during th© action ?—I can not say. Was it out at the stern port ?—Yes, Sir. Was that done before you went into action ? Going in. At what time of the action was the spring used, was it early or late ?—About two hours after we began, I think. Can you particularize any person, either officer or man, seen by you, hauling on the springs ?—I saw Captain Dickenson himself. Did you see the Turkish line-of-battle -ship out of your port ?—Yes. Was she before or abaft the beam ?—Abaft a little; she sprung, I think,:bo;; half a point. In answer to some questions from Capt. Mundy, he said he had been 16 years in the King's service, but bad never been in action before. When he mentioned hot work at his gun, what he meant was, the labour of pointing the gun, and the fire of the enemy. Captain MUNDY—But if nobody was hurt at your gun, your hot work must have been from mere manual labour.--The Turkish ship of the line some times ceased firing for about 20 minutes. The PRESIDENT—Its what part of the ship was the greater number of the Genoa's men killed ?-- About the main hatchway. Cross-examined by Captain DICKENSON—At this distant period, can you recollect whether I was on board the Asia a slim t time after the battle ceased ? I cannot say. Captain MORRIS, who was a Lieutenant of the Genoa at the battle of Navarin, said he was then quartered at the eight foremost guns of the main deck,andconsidered their opponent to be the Turkish 74, upon which they had brought their guns to bear immediately after the action began, chiefly upon her hull midships. They could bring the guns near his quarters to bear upon their opponent by training, ex c, pt the three foremost. The Genoa's position was first taken without using springs, although he heard they were used afterwards. She anchored in a pa rallel line with her opponent. He was on the main deck when the ship anchored, but he bad been on the upper deck previous to her firing. The Turkish frigate was lying broadside out when they went in. He had received and given directions to the men to avoid firing near the Albion, towards the latter part of the action. There were, at the 7th and Bth gun of his quarters, nearly all the men killed and wound ed by the shot of their opponent, as well as he could judge. They must have been in action with that. Turkish 74 about three hours and a half, or four hours. At this distance, it was impossible for him to speak upon details with minute accuracy. Captain CURZON was called, and at the same time a basket, containing several 321 h. British shot, was brought into Court, marked with the King's mark, as was said. When this shot was examined, no body could, however, prove it to be British ; and Sir H. BLACKWOOD said, even if it were, it would not bear on this case, for the Turkish ships had shots of all nations. PRESIDENT—HOW long was the Asia in action with the Capitana Bey's ship ?—I cannot possibly tell exactly. Were you two hours ?—No, I think not one ; she was silenced soon : and had not a gun out of her board, or a man to be seen on her decks, before she drifted. How many broadsides did she fire at the Asia ?— It is difficult for me to say, but I do not think she loaded her guns three times. How long was the Asia in action with the ship of Moharem Bey ?—Moharem Bey's cables were either cut or shot away in less than tee minutes, and she drifted away out of our fire. I think we gave her only two broadsides. After the first ten minutes, what fire did you keep up ?—I cannot exactly say. Cross-examined by Captain DICKENSON—Did the Capitana Bey's ship strike her colours when she went adrift ?—She did not. Did Moharem Bey's, or any of the Turkish ships ? —I saw none of them strike their colours. On the next morning the Turkish ships had both French and English colours up. How long did the Genoa fire after the Asia had ceased ?—I have really no precise recollection, for I was sent on board the Trident to stop her fire. Sir Edward Codrington here seat in a note to the Court, stating that he wished to explain the pro motion he made after the death of Captain Bathurst, and was introduced for this purpose. He said— " Thinking that I had left an impression on the Com t yesterday, that I had promoted Captain Irby to the vacancy caused by Captain Bathurst's death, in the Genoa, I beg leave to explain, that I gave that vacancy to Captain Davis, then commander of the Rose, by the concurrent testimony, I may say, of the whole Allied fleet, as to his extraordinary merits and superior claims; and I made known to him, and generally to the officers who came on board the Asia, that such was my decision on the 21st, before Captain Davis left the fleet with the despatches; and I will add, that if times had been chivalrous, and I had had chivalrous power, I should hare knighted him on the field of battle, such was my admiration of his conduct. My reason for send ing him off immediately with despatches to Smyrna was this—Admiral de Rigny, on quitting Smyrna the first time after receiving the treaty and the in structions of the 6th of July, 1827, concerted a pri vate signal between him and the French Consul for the information of the other Consuls, resident at Smyrna, in case of any collision taking place be tween the Allied and Ottoman fleets ; and also for the protection of the Franks in the Turkish do minions, by enabling the British Consul to commu nicate rapidly with the British Ambassador at Con stantinople, in the event of any re-action by the Turks. After some mere formal evidence was adduced, the Judge-Advocate announced that he had closed the case for the prosecution. The Court was then cleared for an hour; and, upon the re-admission of strangers, the President informed Captain Dickenson that the prosecution was closed, and he was now called upon for his defence. Captain DICKENSON—I would, if allowed that in dulgence by the Court, solicit until Wednesday or Thursday next for that purpose, promising the Court that my defence shall be as short as possible under the circumstances. The PRESIDENT—We rely upon your making it as short as you can. Sir H. BLACKWOOD—YOU had better take at once the time you think you shall require. Captain DICKENSON—Then on Thursday I shall certainly be ready; but should my defence Toe pre pared sooner, I will notify it to the Court, as I am aware they must mee t d a ily. The PRESIDENT—Yes ; the Court can only ad journ from day to day. We shall adjourn now till ten o'clock on Monday morning. Mr. Minchin, the solicitor for the defendant, pro mised that not a moment should be lost in com pleting the arrangements for the defence. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 5. The Court-martial on Captain Dickenson still continues to engross attention, and to excite very considerable interest, which has rather increased than diminished as the business has advanced towards a termination. The evidence for the prosecution closed to-day, and the Court have granted Cap tain Dickenson the intervening days to Thursday to prepare his defence. It is evident that the trial has occasioned a strong sensation, and given birth to a variety of feelings and opinions, which, with the extraordinary circumstances of the case, must render the event a kind of epoch in our naval history. All parties appear to be placed in a difficult and painful situation, arising from a complication of causes which it is impossible wholly to develop; and if ever there was a case calculated to show the necessity of abridging the limit of time for bringing accusations to trial, the present instance has established it, evincing, as it does, how imperfectly facts are re membered beyond a period even shorter than that which our naval code has appointed as a term of li mitation to prosecutions. By the narrative of Sir Edward Codrington with the Admiralty, which he gave to the Court, we have an insight into the ori gin of this remarkable trial, and little is now want ing to make the history complete. The narrative brought the correspondence down to the letter of information dated the 17th of July, 1829, which the Vice-Admiral has emphatically said at the table of the court, he placed before the Admiralty for their Lordships to consider, and out of which they might extract such charges, as they had witnesses to de pose to, and not as itself a charge, upon which Cap tain Dickenson ought to be arraigned. He has also complained that his statement so given in deference to the Board, who had decided on a trial which he had relinquished, has been put before the Court without the other letters, which would show that the line he has adopted has been forced upen him. He quoted on one occasion from Mr. Croker's letter, certain expressions confirming the impossibility of his acting otherwise than he had done under circum stances, such as, " you have brought charges—it is incumbent on you to prove your said charges---and I am desired to ask if you are ready to proceed to the trial," and so forth. The refusal of the Court to receive these letters has led the Vice-Admiral tai show the whole correspondence freely amoHg professional friends, who, to do them justice, wt. must say, follow his example of being pretty com municative; arid .we have therefore learned that the remainder of Mr. Croker's letters not gone into on Friday, arid which the Vice-Admiral referred to in an early stage of the proceedings, as material in elucidation of the one letter from him which was read to the Court by the Deputy Judge Advocate, upon the point of his own position, exhibits strong proofs of the first order for trial having been given ►n hostility to him. We have caught the following expressions—" Sir Edward Codrington not having asked for a Court Martial, could not, of course, be held bound to undertake the distinct character of prosecutor; but as charges were made by Sir Ed ward Codrington which their Lordships considered required investigation at a Court Martial, it was in cumbent on him to establish the truth of the charges advanced."—lt was for Sir Edward Codrington to take measures with the Judge Advocate to substan tiate the charges or, if he declined so doing, their Lordships would consider themselves at liberty to view Captain Dickenson's conduct as free from all imputation," &c. " Sir Edward Codrington was to state if he were willing that the trial should proceed" " And that if Sir Edward Codrington did not ap pear willing for the trial to go on as before under stood, the Admiralty had no alternative but to con sider Captain Dickenson free from all imputation." These extracts, as coming from the Admiralty's Secretary, did not deter the Vice-Admiral from moving steadily onward in the course he had chalked out for himself. Mr. GEORGE DAWE, R.A., who has recently arrived in this country from Warsaw, where he had been engaged in painting the Emperor and Empress of RUSSIA as King and Queen of Poland, and also the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, went to the Royal Lodge, in Windsor park, yesterday, by command of the KING, for the pur pose of showing his MAJESTY portraits of the King of PRUSSIA, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and other works executed since his last visit to this country. His MA JESTY was graciously pleased to express his approbation of them, and honoured Mr. DAWE with some flattering commissions. The Earl of ABERDEEN arrived at the Royal Lodge on Saturday evening from town, on a visit to the KING. The Earl of ROSSLYN visited the Earl of ABERDEEN on Saturday. Earl FIT-WILLIAM arrived at Wentworth House on Saturday last from Ireland. His Lordship had a very rough passage to Holyhead, the voyage occupying fourteen instead of six hours. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE passed through this town yesterday, on his way from Bol ton Abbey to Chatsworth, where he will remain until Doncaster Races.—Sheffield Courant. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT came from Twicken ham on Wednesday, to dine with the Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBANS, at their house in Piccadilly. The Duchess has engaged a house at Brighton, where she will remain during the autumn and part of the winter. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has likewise hired a residence at Brighton, for himself and family, to which they will retire when the period is up for which he engaged the villa of Archdeacon CAMBRIDGE, in Twickenham Meadows. The Duke of RICHMOND, Lord MOUNT* CHARLES, and Lord FIFE, are reported to have interested themselves in the restoration of the performances at Co vent Garden Theatre, and if their efforts be seconded by the opulent amateurs of the drama, and the play-goiag public generally, and a commensurate sacrifice be nude in their salaries by the principal actors, there is no doubt of a successful issue. ENGLISH OPERA• HOUSE.--A new pleasant interlude, entitled Sold for a Song, was produced here on Saturday evening. The title of the piece is derived from the strange fancy of Count Cremona (Mr. J. RUSSELL), who is afflicted with such a love of harmony, as induces him to determine that the hand of his niece, diddle (Miss CAwsE) shall only be awarded to him whose vocal powers are of the finest order. The interlude was received with the utmost satisfaction by a crowded house. Bolton Abbey, in Yorkshire, has become the favourite residence of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE during the autumn of the year. At Christmas the princely Palace of Chatsworth enables his Grace to entertain large parties, and in the spring, the Villa of Chiswick, and the dinners, balls, and routs at Devonshire House fill up the measure of his Grace's hospitality. MICHAEL TOLL has been lodged in our county jail, having been committed by Mr. HALLEN, Co roner, on a charge of causing the death of ANNE COOK, by pushing her into a coal-pit, at Lye-on-the-Waste, near Stourbridge. The parties were seen sitting near the pit on Monday se'nnight. The body was found on Friday.— Worcester Journal. NEW POLICE.---.lt has been determined that the policemen are not to wear swords in the day time. These weapons, however, will be kept at the different stations, to be supplied, if necessary. Deputations from several parishes in London and its vicinity have, we un derstand, waited upon the Commissioners of the New Police during the last week, to urge the adoption of the new system in their several districts.— Observer. MANCHESTER, SATURDAY EVENING.-- An attack was this afternoon made upon the Knobsticks in the employment of Messrs. SANDroan and GREEN, by a large body of turn-out spinners. The Knobsticks go to the mills on the Monday morning, and so intimidated are they by the threats of the tarn-outs, that they eat, drink, and sleep in the mills, and dare not, for any purpose what ever, venture outside the walls till Saturday night, when they are brought out under the protection of the soldiers and the police. This afternoon the Knobsticks in SAND FORD and Co.'s mill, who, I believe, are all from the coun try, were conveyed out of town in hackney-coaches. On Saturday afternoon, between five and six o'clock, a number of persons who were proceeding over Westminster-bridge, were horror-struck on perceiving a respectable-looking gentleman climb to the top of the third arch, and instantly precipitate himself into the river. The unfortunate individual instantly sunk, but in a few seconds after he was seen by those on the bridge and the Surrey shore, struggling in the water. Fortunately, however, the son of Mr. CARY, proprietor of the floating bath at the bridge, was at the time rowing across the water, and instantly pulling towards the drowning man, arrived in time to save him. Mr. CARY conveyed him to the Water mens' Arms, Stangate, where every attention was paid to him, and he was shortly so far recovered, as to be re moved to an hotel, in Bridge-street, Westminster. He was at the latter place immediately recognised as Captain COOMBER, of Lewes. DUBLIN, SEPT. 3.—A very extraordinary case of crim. con. has just transpired in the county of Mayo, at the residence of a young baronet of high family and fortune. The parties move in high life, and are con nected with the principal gentry of Connaught. The frail lady and her husband have been for some time on a visit at the splendid mansion of Sir the lady's brother. A gentleman well known in the fashionable circles in Dublin, and remarkable for his immense size, had been also on a visit at the same place. On Saturday evening Mr. —__ unexpectedly entered his lady's chamber, and was horrified on beholding her in such a situation with Mr. as gave ample ground for ap prehension that she had been regardless of her plighted vows. Her husband, as might reasonably be expected, proceeded to give very unequivocal proofs of his resent ment against the destroyer of his peace; and the noise occasioned by the boisterous altercation between the parties, which was rendered more alarming by the slit ieks of the lady, soon brought the young baronet and other members of the family, to the apartment. Sir aided the escape of the ponderous lover from the husband's vengeance—not, however, without appointing a meeting with himself a t G a l way on t h e su b sequent d ay. S i r accompanied by Dl r . was at the pl ace of meeting at the regulated hour ; but Mr. —, actuated, probably, b y t h e Ch r i st i an f ee lin g o f f or b earance where injury had already been inflicted, did not appear on the ground ; and it is said he has taken his departure for the continent. But there was a duel notwithstanding, quite unconnected with the faux pas. At the hotel where Sir ---- and his friend stopped there happened to be an altercati on b etween t h e latter an d a Mr. L---, of Dublin. The gentlemen terminated their dispute in the true Conna ug h t style by proceeding fort h w i t h to the place appoi n t e d f or the meeting with the h uge L othario, and after a n exc h ange of shots, without producing any injury, the p art i es returned to the hote l , an d b ecame totally oblivious of their brawl at the festive board. LITERATURt. LOVES 01.' TIIE POETS.—Two \Tots. LeIN Do N. }s':'9. In her book of the Boudoir, Lady Morgan has observed that Poets make bad lovers. A perusal of the present volumes will, we con ceive, convince her Ladyship to the contrary. She will here see of what materials a poet's love is made ; how pure, how lofty is its essence, how lasting, how imaginative, how disinterested its character and complexion ! Not that we ourselves believe in the celestial purity of such attachments ; far from it, we are of opinion that poets love pl•etty much as other men, only that they make more of it, and turn it to a better ac count ; but certainly no one can sit down to the perusal of the very romantic work before us, and not feel convinced, even against his inclination, that the love of a poet is a wondrous fine thing— a passion in short far exceeding in its essence the ordinary capabilities of humanity. And yet, if the true history of such a love could be placed before our eyes ;if facts could be allowed to displace fiction, and wild romance to give way to sober reason, how much of its high unearthly complexion would be lost ! How would Pe trarch's Laura, Dante's Beatrice, Tasso's Leo nora D'Este—but no, we will except this really angelic woman—Waller's Sacharissa, and Sur rey's Geraldine sink into mere ordinary females ; beautiful perhaps, and accomplished, and sensi- ive and innocent, but not a whit more so than thousands of others of their sex who have lived, died, and passed away into oblivion, because un luckily they had no enamoured historian to im mortalize their deserts. The love of a poet is a fine thing certainly, but it shines, we suspect, to greater advantage in fancy than in fact. It looks well on paper,decoratedwith the garniture ofa splendidly embellished duodecimo, but is apt to lose its caste when touched with the Ithuriel spear of reality. Despite the power of sentiment and the charms of verse, poets will sometimes lose their temper, and ladies the high tone of their romance. Quarrels, and those not of the most re fined character, will occasionally take place between them. They will now and then, not exactly pinch and scratch, but grumble, sneer at, and anathematize each other. But mark even here the advantages of the poet's calling. The simple expressive oath which an unsophisticated lover would utter—the honest, straight-forward " damn" into which he would epigramatically condense his wrath, is in the bard's hands con verted into an eloquent apostrophe—fierce, im passioned, indignant—fitted to make ladies weep, men envy, and the world admire. The present elegant volumes, however, keep up in a high tone the superiority of the poet's love. All that might be deemed too earthly in his passion is slightly glanced over, while its more impassioned spirit is dwelt on with grace, tender- ness, and animation. What, for instance, can be more interesting—more deeply affecting than our fair authoress's details of the love of Tasso for the Princess Leonora D'Este ? Without in the slightest degree swerving from truth, she has yet, by the magic powers of her eloquence, so heightened its interest that it possesses all the charms of romance. We annex as a specimen the description of Tasso and Leonora. The lady is beautifully pencilled : " No poet perhaps ever owed so much to female influ ence as Tasso, or wrote so much under the intoxicating inspiration of love and beauty. He paid most dearly for such inspiration ; and yet rot too dearly. The high tone of sentiment, the tenderness, and the delicacy which per vade all his poems, which prevail even in his most vo luptuous descriptions, and which gave him such a decided superiority over Ariosto, cannot be owing to any change of manners or increase of refinement produced by the lapse of a few years. It may be traced to the tender in flueuce of two elegant women. He for may years read the cantos of the Gerusalemme, as he composed them, to the Princesses Lucretia and Leonora, both of whom he admired,---one of whom be adored. Au reste—the kiss, which he is said to have imprinted on the lips of Leonora in a transport of frenzy, as well as the idea that she was the primary cause of his insanity, and of his seven years' imprisonment at St. Anne's, test on no authority worthy of credit; yet it is not less cer tain that she was the object of his secret and fervent ad miration, and that his hopeless passion conspired, with many other causes, to fever his irritable temperament and unsettle his imagination, beyond that " fine madness," which we are told ought " to possess the poet's brain." " When Tasso first visited Ferrara, in 1565, he was just one-and-twenty, with all the advantages which a fine countenance, a majestic figure, (for be was tall even among the tallest,) noble birth, and excelling talents could be stow : he was already distinguished as the author of the Rinaldo, his earliest poem, is which he had celebrated (as if prophetically,) the princess d'Este,--and chiefly Leonora." " When Tasso was first introduced to her in her brother's court, Leonora was in her thirtieth year; a dis parity of age which is certainly no argument against the passion she inspired. For a young man, at his first entrance into hie, to fall in love ambitiously—with a woman, for instance, who is older than himself, or with one who is, or ought to be, unattainable,—is a common occurrence. Tasso, from his boyish years, had been the sworn servant of beauty. He tells us in grave prose, che la sua giovanezza fu tutta sotto-posta all' amorose leggi ;' but be was also refined, even to fastidiousness, in his intercourse with women. He had formed, in his own poetical mind, the most exalted idea of what a female ought to be, and unfortunately, she who first realised his dreams of perfection, was a Princess—' there seated where he durst not soar.' Leonora was still eminently lovely, in that soft, artless, unobtrusive style of beauty, which is charming in itself, and in a Princess irresistable, from its contrast with the loftiness of her station and the trappings of her rank. Her complexion was extremely fair; her features small and regular; and the form of her head pe culiarly graceful, if I may judge from a fine medallion I once saw of her in Italy. 11l health, and her early ac quaintance with the sorrows of her unfortunate mother had given to her countenance a languid and pensive cast, and sicklied all the natural bloom of her complexion." " Ider eyes were blue; her mouth of peculiar beauty, both in form and expression." " Leonora then was not unworthy of her illustrious conquest, either in person, heart, or mind. To be sum moned daily into the presence of a Princess thus beautiful and amiable, to read aloud his verses to her, to bear his own praises from her lips, to bask in her approving smiles, to associate with her in her retirement, to behold her in all the graceful simplicity of her familiar life,—was a dangerous situation for Tasso, and surely not less so for Leonora herself. That she was aware of his admiration, and perfectly understood his sentiments, and that a mys terious intelligence existed between them, consistent with the utmost reverence on his part, and the most perfect delicacy and dignity on her's, is apparent from the mean ing and tendency of innumerable passages scattered through his minor poems—too significant in their application to be mistaken. Though that application be not avowed, and even disguised—the very disguise, when once de tected, points to the object. Leonora knew, as well as her lover, that a Princess ' was no love-mate for a bard.' She knew far better than her lover, until lie too had been taught by wretched experience, the haughty and implaca ble temper of her brother Alphonso, who never was known to brook an injury or forgive an offender. She must have remembered too the 12 years' imprisonment and the ai n n a lc r er i se • o sa w scead e u s s c eb a . y p e from death, t si,eheiva o extreme of af delicacyt her im andof un fortunate hreersercvoe m nds o t moth ttr forconstitution. : Her hand b a d freq uen tly been sought by princes and ~~~. Y nobles, whom she had Uniformly rejected, at the rink of displeasing her brother ; and tke eyes of a jealous court were upon her. Tasso, on 'the other hand, was impru dent, hot-headed, fearless, ardently attached. For both their sakes, it was necessary for Leonora to be guarded and reserved, unless she would have made herself the fable of all Italy. And in what glowing verse has Tasso described all the delicious pain -of such a situation ! now proud of his fetters, now execrating them in despair." Next to Tasso and Leonora in interest, is the account of Petrarch's love for Laura. Our fair biographer has taken considerable pains with this portion of her work, though she has failed in rendering Petrarch so interesting as we think he might have been made. But it is with her females that she is generally most successful. Here she is quite at home, and throws a remark able degree of grace, dignity, softness, And feminine sensibility into the portraits of her heroines. Waller's Sacharissa is a graceful sample of this talent, and we are pleased to find that incidentally in speaking of her, she has done justice to that intolerable old coxcomb, Waller ; a scribbler who, with scarcely one spark of poetry in his composition, has yet by some means or other contrived to smuggle himself into the good graces of posterity. _ With Swift's conduct to Stella and Vanessa our authoress is justly indignant. But the sub ject should be handled by a man—no woman can throw sufficient energy into her reproba tion of the Dean's behaviour to two of the most charming women that ever lived--both of whom died broken-hearted for him. Mr. Jeffrey has, accordingly, taken up the matter, and in one of the earlier numbers of the " Edinburgh Review" has done justice to Swift's character, in an ana lysis replete with eloquence and a high generous indignation. But we must here come to a close, though not without thanking our fair authoress for the gratification her very captivating volumes have afforded us. Her work is essentially a lady's work, full of grace, elegance, tenderness, pathos, and romance, and should be studied by the sex as a sort of text-book, or manual of the heart. STATE OF BARNSLEY. (Abridged from the Leeds Mercury.) The town of Barnsley has been greatly agitated during the present week. After the destruction of property at the house of Mr. Thomas Jackson, in the night of Thursday week, as stated in our last paper, no fresh outrage was perpetrated till Wednesday last, when, about nine o'clock at night, a large barn, 24 yards by seven, the property of Sir Francis Lindloy Wood, Bart., in the occupation of Messrs. Jacksons and Hoggetts, manufacturers, was discovered to be on fire, and on proceeding to the place it became but too evident that this conflagration was the work of an incendiary. The barn is situated at about a mile from the town, and almost close to it stood three haystacks, containing at least 70 toms of hay. The building hadbeen used as a deposit for unemployed looms, timbers, &c., all of which were consumed before the fire, which bad been lighted in several different places, could be extinguished. The loss in the barn is estimated at about 2001., and the injury done to the building is probably to about half that amount. The haystacks escaped almost miraculously, owing to the direction of the wind. A reward of fifty guineas has been offered for the apprehension of the offender or offenders, and about nine o'clock on Thursday night, John Atkinson was apprehended at the door of the King's Head-inn, in Barnsley, on suspicion of having been engaged in the attack upon the house of Messrs. Cordeaux and Sons, and Mr. Coe, on Thursday night. The agi tation of the town was considerably increased on Thursday morning by William Hill, a private in the troop of the Third Light Dragoons, now quartered in Barnsley, having applied a pistol to his body and shot himself through the heart, in his quarters at the Three Cranes-inn. The cause of this rash act is not satisfactorily ascertained, but it is said that Hill, who is very respectably connected, was subject to despondency, which had been aggravated by a love-affair in Ireland, and by habits of intoxication, which he had unfortunately acquired. _ . On Wednesday last a great number of applica tions were made to Dr. Corbett, one of the Magi strates for the West Riding, by the unemployed Irish weavers of Barnsley, for passes to return to their own country. The Magistrates intimated their intention to grant passes to all the Irish weavers that might apply to them, and it was expected that upwards of fifty applications would be made yester day by persons wishing to leave the town. Such is the state of public apprehension created by the riots and outrages of Barnsley, that almost every warehouse in the town is converted into • sort garrison, with arms, ammunition, &c., and persons are appointed to remain all night in most of the warehouses on the watch, to protect the property under their care. On Thursday night, at eleven o'clock, another troop of the 3d Dragoons arrived from Sheffield in Barnsley; and the military force now in that town, including the Yeomanry Cavalry, is from 100 to 200, while the special constables recently sworn in amount to about 150. Picquets of soldiers and bo dies of constables continue to traverse the town and its immediate neighbourhood, each successive night, during what is emphatically called " the reign of terror." It was intended to hold a meeting of the weavers on Thursday last, and notice was given to that effect, but the destruction of the premises of Messrs. Jackson and Co. on Wednesday night, and an in terdict from Dr. Corbett against holding any public assemblage, prevented the meeting from taking place. On Monday last a numerous meeting of the weavers was held in the market-place, in Barnsley, Peter Hoey in the chair. At this meeting a long discussion arose between Dr. Corbett, who with se veral of the manufacturers attended, and Patrick Flanigan and other weavers, respecting the propriety of s Mme expressions used at former meetings, to the effect that the master manufacturers were tyrants, &c. Dr. Corbett said, that he would not allow such inflammatory and improper expressions to be used on this occasion. If they were, he told them that he would immediately declare the meeting dis solved. It was stated by Patrick Flanigan, that out of 23 manufacturers who signed the former list of prices, only seven were in favour of a reduction of wages. He advised every weaver to go and throw himself on his parish rather than work at the prices proposed in the new list. James Bosomworth gave the same advice. The following resolution, moved by P. Flanigan, and seconded by J. Bosomworth, was the only resolution of importance brought be fore the meeting : " That this meeting views with disgust the con duct of the manufacturers, in thus persisting in their contemplated reduction, when they, the manufac turers, know that the weavers cannot get a living without parish relief, with the present prices ; there fore, this meeting is of opinion, that it is better for the weavers to cease working, titan work for next to nothing." A man named RYAN was murdered near Beechwood, county Tipperary, a few nights ago. The savages cut his ears and nose off:— Tipperary Paper. A very important meeting of the Magistrates of this county will be held at nudes, on Monday, for the purpose of taking into consideration its present state.— The Commander of the Forces, and Lord LxvcsoN GOWER, Chief Secretary of Ireland, will be in attend ance. It is generally rumoured, that besides Dr. FITZ GERALD, Who is to be stationed in Clonmel, the qu irters of the other stipendiary Magistrates will be . Thurles, Tip perary, and Borrieokeerl.--Chnirag .eleivarteger.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Irish Papers express much satisfaction at the result of a prosecution at Carrick-on-Suir, which ended in the acquittal of a Capt. ream, of the Police, charged with the murder of a youth who had been shot in a recent riot. In this case the prosecutrix was a poor widow, the mother of the deceased. Mr. Streit was her Counsel, and we have seldom, if ever, reed an address to any jury more judicious, temperate, or useful, than the reported speech of the Learned Gentleman on that trying and critical occasion. The jury, it ought to be observed, was composed of seven Catholics and five Pro testants. The verdict seems to have turned on the nuestion, whether the strong measure of diseharging fire-arms was unavoidabk under the circumstances in which Mr. Pearse had been placed, and the verdict was given in his faveur. The issue of this trial may, we should hope, do good, by tending to discountenance the invi dious and irritating practice of challenging per sons for no cause but their religious profession. Nothing can, on the face of it, excite more na tural indignation among conscientious members of any church, than to find their creed made a ground of objection to their capacity of doing justice between man and man upon their oaths ; as if a Catholic, for instance, was not subject to the fundamental laws of moral and Christian obligation. Would a Protestant endure in knee to be told emphatically by a public prose cutor, in any Christian country, that he would not be trusted on his oath, lest he might com mit perjury to gratify a political prepossession Although, therefore, we felt it incumbent on us, a week ago, to defend the Solicitor-Ge neral of Ireland for his mode of arranging the Borris-o'kane proceedings, in so far as concerned the admission and examination of evidence, without _regard to the probable effect of such evidence on the interests of the pro secution which he conducted, we by no means extend our praise to the peremptory challenge of all Catholics who offered themselves as jurors, and to the consequent limitation of that office to members of the Protestant faith. The impolicy of the practice was evinced by the effect of the . verdict on public feeling throughout the south of Ireland, the acquitted policemen being repre tented as still guilty of murder, though formally exempted from its penalties—Mr. Doherty being condemned as a prosecutor malajide, to screen the perpetrators of a foul assassination, and the Jury as a packed body of Orangemen, for the completion of a fraud on public justice. From the spirit thus manifested, it is plain to us, that the rigorous challenges of the Catholic Jurors rankle even more in the hearts of the people than the reception by the Crown of evidence which turned out to be exculpatory ; and if the Solicitor-General was a party to the exclusion of all but Protestant Jurymen in that case, we re gret that we must confine our applause to the principles on which he acted subsequently to the composition of the Jury. It is in Ireland of the first importance to convince the lower orders of the people that they arc fairly dealt by ; and when Government assumes the task of prosecut ing its own functionaries, tenfold caution ought to be used against the possible misconstruction of its motives. We have no doubt that a Jury of respectable Catholics would have returned the same verdict on the Borris-o'kane business as that which was actually delivered, and that the Crown Solicitor mistook his game by showing a distrust which was equally offensive and uncalled for.— Times. Some further outrages have taken place at Barnsley, and the place exhibits, it is said, the appearance of a besieged town. The Leeds Mercury observes, with respect to the disputes between the manufacturers and their weavers— " In conversing, as we have done, freely, with both tha masters and the men, we find both of them expressing great moderation in their views, and rather differing as to facts than as to their application. Both of them are convinced that if, in the town of Barnsley, higher wages are paid for the same kind of work than are given to the linen-weavers in the north of Yorkshire, in Lancashire, and in Scotland, the trade must inevitably leave that place; but the men contend that the wages at present paid in Barnsley are not, on the whole, higher than those paid in the above places, while the masters say that there is a very material difference between the prices paid there and at Darlington, Wigan, and at Mr. Maberly's works in Scotland, to the disad vantage of the Barnsley trade." The same paper adds, " we must not conceal the fact, that per sons the best informed, say that the wages paid at Barnsley for some sorts of work, are consi derably higher than those paid in the north of Yorkshire, and in Lancashire ; and that the quantity of yarn sold by the principal Leeds spinners to the masters in the latter places has been increasing—while that sold to the Barnley manufacturers has been diminishing. This change the spinners, who have no interest in the question at issue between the Barnsley masters and their weavers, attribute to the difference in the prices paid for weaving, and that opinion they expressed to the deputation of the Wea vers Committee, consisting of William Ash ton and Patrick Flanigan." The only effort of any attempt by combination, to keep prices in one place higher than they are in another, is to increase the trade in the place where the wages are lower. The lowest rate at which men can be found to work, must deter mine the prices everywhere. It is. not in the power of a master manufacturer to prevent wages from falling. When the labour market is glutted, a rival manufacturer, by buying labour cheaper than he does, will certainly undersell him. The English and Scotch weaver must sink to the level of the Irish ; for in a business so easily ac quired as weaving, there cannot be higher wages here than Irishmen will consent, to take. Of this the Editor of the Leeds Mercury is well aware, for he observes, " As a general principle, we think there is an undue depreciation in the wages of labour, and wish most heartily that anything could be done to arrest the progress of this tre mendous evil, which operates most injuriously on every branch of trade, manufacture, and agri culture. But it is by the labouring classes that this evil is felt in its greatest rigour. We have Corn Laws to protect the land-owner, and duties on importation to protect the manufacturer and merchant, but there is no protection for the in terest of the labouring classes, who are sinking rapidly in this country to a level with the labour ing classes in Ireland." So far from suffering from free trade, the Editor o f th e L ee d s Mer cury states that Barnsley has exported more linen during the last three years than during the preceding ten; and the wool, cotton, and iron trades, all suffering, are without rivals abroad. As far back as the year, 1788, it was shown by the Rev. Mr. Howlett, in one of his l, admirable pamphlets, " that the price of labour has not advanced- in proportion to the price of provisions," which he mainly attributed to the increase of their numbers within the preceding forty years. At the time when Arthur Young's " Annals of Agriculture" was almost filled with disquisitions on the state of the poor by Mr. Howlett ) Mr. Ruggles, Mr. Young himself, &c. in wh'eh the privations under which they were labouring were universally admitted, there is a communication from Sir Joseph Bankes (volume 19, published in 1793), dated Revesly Abbey, October 18, 1792, which, as was truly observed by Mr. Young in a note, " opened a new field for political speculation►'' At this time, when there were such complaints of low wages, Sir Joseph pays—" At Boston Holland Fen, a drained district of about 22,000 acres, which formerly produced nothing but fodder and thatch, has been, withi❑ these twenty years, drained so well, that it is now arable chiefly ; and having passed through the previous exhaustion of vast crops of cole and oats that yielded ten or twelve quarters an acre, has, within these few years, produced excellent wheat. Such quantities of land, infinitely productive in its nature, being suddenly brought into cultivation, without . any increase of people—for hitherto very few houses were built upon it—must necessarily require much foreign assistance ; and in truth labourers flock in during harvest time from all quarters ; in both towns they make the bridges their place of rendezvous, and as semble in multitudes at day break ; here the farmers meet them ; and in catching weather they never engage themselves for more than one day ; and then the breaking out of the sun from a cloud, or its passing under one, will rise or fall wages 2s. or 3s. in a moment. I have heard of thirteen shillings a day i❑ money ; and I spoke the other day to a Magistrate at Boston, who was under the necessity of compelling some persons to fulfil a bargain they had made and afterwards abandoned, to reap 62 acres of wheat at 9/. 10s. The quantity of liquor de manded varies much, according to the temper of the labourers ; but this year it began to be considered as no impropriety to demand at the rate of a pint for every shilling a day's wages. This is the present state of our affairs; but it will not be lasting ; wherever high wages are found there will be people also ; and you may be assured, that our Lincolnshire labourers are industriously employed in peopling as fast as they are able these fertile plains." Steam ves sels did not then give the English farmer and manufacturer the millions of superabundant popu lation of Ireland to draw on.—Morning Chron. All statistical inquiries are of use ; but their main value must in all cases depend upon their accuracy. Government, it is said, we know not with what truth, have set on foot an inquiry into the number of Dissenters in the United King dom. Could such an inquiry be made with ac curacy, it might furnish a curious document ; but its utility we are far from being able to dis cover, nor do we believe that any thing like ac curacy in the matter is attainable. There is, we believe, already more than one published ac count of the various sects into which the religious world is divided, and these probably con vey as near an estimate of the numbers of each as any inquiry set on foot even by Government would be likely to obtain. But we cannot see what the Government can have to do with any religion but that of the State. In reference to this, to be sure, it may naturally ask itself how many Dissenters there are ? Though the more important ques tion would be " Why there are so many ?" Now for this many reasons might be given, but the most material, and those which concern the Go vernment most, are these—the want of church room—the defective mode in which the Clergy are educated—the unequal division of clerical reward in proportion to clerical labour—and the partial, inconsiderate, and impolitic way in which so much of the Church patronage is bestowed. In reference to the first of these reasons, the want of church accommodation, to call men Dis senters who attend other places of worship, and who may, in fact, ultimately become converts to other creeds, merely because they cannot ob tain a footing or a seat in churches of the Esta ' bliThment is the height of folly and injustice, and, as far as forming any ground for a statistic account, would be an egregious fallacy. The metropolis (to say nothing of other large and populous places) furnishes proof enough of this. We certainly live in a church-building age, which, as far as appearances go, speaks well for the growth and advancement of religious know ledge. But though all men are alike in the eyes of their Maker, and ought to be so in those of church-builders—nay, even though churches are built out of the public taxes, towards which all men contribute—very few seats are to be ob tained in any of these churches but by those who can afford to pay a heavy annual rent for them ; and this because there is no way (so, at least, the lovers of vested interests think) of paying the Clergy for performing the duty in these churches but out of pew-rents ; while the in cumbents of the parishes wherein these new churches are erected enjoy not only their own original revenues undisturbed, but often the patronage of the new churches, and a propor tion of their revenues also. But, confining our view to the metropolis, what is there we would ask, to prevent the unemployed Clergy of its two cathedrals from being made useful ? What, in fact, do the Canons and Prebendaries of St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey do for the com munity in return for the large revenues which they draw from it ? And why should the Church be exposed to the danger arising from the number of her seceders being increased, while so many of her Clergy are mere mort mainers upon her revenues ? But, then, how can this be otherwise, while political and mere personal motives influence the distribution of one-half the Church preferment ? We will not invidiously point to names or families ; but who is there among our readers whe could not readily run -over in his own mind instances by far too abundant of the truth of what we say ? The other reason, the state of the Universities, as to discipline and education, as they regard the Clergy, is by far too copious a topic to enter upon at the present moment. Here then we pause, and ask of what use is it to inquire what the number of Dissenters may be, while we pass by the means of diminishing them ? Besides, many of those who would be called Dissenters 'in the course of this inquiry would repudiate the name, and deny that they are Dissenters at all ; the Calvinists and Wesleyan Methodists, for instance. Nay, a too scrupulous inquiry might find, perhaps, that it would term Dissenters in the vet)/ bosom of the Church itself, which it might be as difficult to class as to omit in an official return. All these, then, are reasons for letting such an inquiry alone. We would say, on this subject, in the words of the poet— " Cease to lament for that thou can'st not help, And seek for help for that which thou lament'st." • That the number of Dissenters is very great cannot be doubted. A mere numerical detail cannot mak e it mor e obvious. The remedy, too, is to be found not merely in a knowledge of the fact, but in a removal of as much of the cause as lies within the reach of those who are the constiuted guardians of religion.—Morning Herald. - - SUMMER. ASSIZES. CHESTER CIRCUIT-CHESTER, SEPT. 4. Joseph Woodhouse was charged with a capital felony on the person of .Maria Woodhouse, his own child, not quite eleven years of age. The prisoner was a blacksmith, residing at Newton, near Stock port. The offence was proved by the evidence of the little girl, corroborated by the testimony of her sister and aunt, and that of Mr. W. Tinker, a surgeon, who examined her person. We received a circumstantial report of the trial from our correspondent, but refrain from defiling our columns with the disgusting details. The Jury retired, and after an absence of fifteen minutes, returned a verdict of—Guilty. Mr. Justice JERVIS (putting on the fatal black cap) addressed the prisoner as follows :—Joseph Woodhouse, you have been found guilty on .the clearest evidence of . the crime of rape, which is one of the most aggravated that can be committed in a state of civilized society. This offence has, in your case, the revolting aggravation of having been com mitted upon your own daughter, a child not eleven years of age. It is impossible for language to ex press a greater degree of horror than must exist in the minds of all those who have beard your case, and that horror must be still greater, if possible, when I state, that it is within my knowledge, though it was not elicited on the trial, that this is the third time, you have attempted this abominable offence. An involunf ary burst of mingled horror and indig nation here burst from the whole Court. The Learned JUDGE then passed sentence of Death on the prisoner, in the usual terms. The prisoner, who maintained the most apathetic expression of countenance during the whole trial, heard this affecting address with apparently equal indifference. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. EXTRAORDINARY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ADUL TEROUS INTERCOURSE.—A lady, most fashionably attired, and possessing charms of no ordinary de scription, appeared in the justice-room on Saturday, to request that the Lord Mayor would be good enough to swear her to the truth of the contents of a paper which she held in her hand. The Loan MAYOR, after perusing the paper, ob served to the female, " Why, you accuse yourself of adultery ? What can be your motive for so extraor dinary a charge against yourself ? Have you had any advice upon this matter ?"—An elderly gentleman, who accompanied the fair applicant to the justice room, stated to the Lord Mayor that he was ac quainted with the circumstances, and that the affi davit was considered necessary. The lady begged most earnestly that she might be allowed to swear—" Do permit me, my Lord," said she, " to take my oath of the truth of it." The LORD' MAYOR—Why, amongst other things, you swear that you have been guilty of infidelity to your husband, and you also charge another person with having counselled you to do so. I cannot think of doing anything of the kind. The statement in the paper was, we understand, to the following effect :—The lady, who is about 23 or 2I years of age, was married a short time ago to an honest man, a mechanic. She had had a female friend with whom she had been on terms of the greatest intimacy, and on whose honour she had placed the greatest reliance. A gentleman with whom this female friend was intimate, however, thought proper to pay her very close 'attention, and at last made proposals to her of a description not at all equivocal. He, in fact, proposed that she should pass a whole night with him. To this proposition she felt all the repugnance natural to a woman of virtue, but in came her false friend, and used all her arts of persuasion to induce her to accept the invita tion. After repeated solicitations from those two assailants she at last yielded, and her virtue became, to use the language of the paper, " as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." The remorse she felt at this abandonment of duty was not alleviated by the con duct of her female friend. It was not to deny or to palliate this error the applicant desired to make affi davits of what had taken place with respect to the vile female alluded to, but to give so great a wretch a fair share of the odium. The LORD MAYOR thought the request a most monstrous one. He could not see how any woman in her senses could consent to destroy her own cha racter for ever for the purpose of proving that ano ther person had acted treacherously. The lady said that she certainly could not deny the charge of trim. con., but she considered the fabie friend worse who first encouraged and then betray ed her. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, there shall be no oath taken before me in this matter. I would have you to go home to your husband, and act to him in fu ture in such a manner as shall lead him to suppose that there has been no foundation for the report. The lady reluctantly and discontentedly retired, having first covered her face with her veil. MARYLEBONE. A genteel young lady, who has been married, came before Mr. RAWLINSON on Saturday evening, accompanied by a female friend, to explain a cir cumstance which has been represented in a way very unfavourable to her reputation. A story was circulated in the neighbourhood of her house that a child had been clandestinely buried in her garden, and, like all such stories, it bad lost nothing when re-told. It came to the ears of a street-keeper, and he, with an apprehension full of murder, on Friday morning made it known to Mr. Rawlinson, who immediately ordered Dutch, the of ficer, to go back with the street-keeper, and take a pickaxe and shovel, and dig up the spot. Dutch re ported in the evening that he had done so, and found nothing, but the story having been traced to a lady whose situation in life is respectable, it was thought necessary that an explanation should take place, and the patties met for that purpose at this office on Sa turday night. 1 t then appeared that a lad, who by the family is called Jack, lived with his mother in the house of the lady on whom the imputation was cast, and he, like Jack-of-all-work, took it into his head to dig a large hole in the garden, which, when he was doing►, he endeavoured to satisfy the curiosity of a neigh bour (the lady who promulgated the story) by tell ing her he was digging a hole for the purpose of burying his money. This lady stated before Mr. Rawlinson, that when Jack was digging the hole, she said to him " What are you going to do ?" He replied, "To bury my money ;" and a day or two after he told her he had buried a child belonging to Madame '1 he circumstance pressed heavily on her mind for three months, but she mentioned it to no one until she took the advice of her aunt, who visited her from the country. Jack denied that he ever mentioned a child. The lady asserted that he did. Mr. RAWLINSON said he thought he had given rise to the story by such indiscretion. The young lady was anxious to disclose her cir cumstances, and bring her medical attendant and other respectable witnesses forward to prove that she had not for four years been pregnant, but Mr. RAWLINSON told her it was quite unnecessary, the imputation was groundless beyond all doubt, and he regretted that in any quarter it had been believed. MARLBORO U GH.STREET. SINGULAR CASE OF ROBBERY.---01 1 Saturday a young man of the name of Thompron, of respect able appearance, was brought up for re-examination before F. A. ROE, Esq., charged on suspicion of stealing, in company with a female of the name of Baker, a large quantity of furniture, t o t h e amount of 701., from No. 17, Carmarthen•street, the resi dence of Mr. Provis. On the 30th of July information was given at Bow-street stating that about three weeks before furniture to the above amount was taken by these two persons from Mr. Provis's house, Which he bad left in the charge of Mrs. Baker, but although an active search had been instituted, no trace of either of the persons could be discovered. Things re mained in this state until last Tuesday, when the prisoner Thompson was seen, and given into custody. On the charge bei•ng entered into, Frances .Smith, a young woman who lived servant to Mrs. Baker, deposed that the prisoner, who lodged in the house, No. 17, Carmarthen -street, and Mrs. Baker removed all the furniture during the night, and after it was so taken she had not seen her mistress since. Mr. Lamb, a surgeon, and a friend of Mr. Provis, deposed that the furniture so taken was that of Mr. Provis, who unfortunately was obliged to proceed to Lancaster, he being subpoenaed on a trial. Mr. Hart, the solicitor, who attended on the part of the prosecution, informed Mr. Roe that, in con sequence of Mr. Provis not being able to come to town, he would be obliged if the prisoner was re manded until Thursday, to enable them, if possible, to discover Mrs. Baker, who was niece to the pro secutor, and who, they had every reason to think, had been murdered by the other party. Mr. Lewis, the prisoner's solicitor—lt is a very hard case to this man to remand him from time to time without any charge being against him. Mr. Hart—We want to find the woman, if she is living. Until this occurrence she was never known to be absent a single day during sixteen years she had been with Mr. Provis. Mr. Lewis—She is safe enotigl:, for I have seen her today; but she is out of the way in conse quence of your having a writ against her, and now you come here and say she is made away with. Mr. Hart—That has nothing to do with this transaction. Mr. Lewis—All that I require is some specific charge against my client, that he may be able to answer it. Besides the house was not Mr. Provis's. I have the receipt for the rent which he paid for the apartments. Mr. Hart—That has nothing to do with the felony. Mr. ROE—Under the present law you must be aware that it is a felony to rob furnished lodgings, and the charge against this man is that of taking property to the amount of 701. away. Mr. Lewis—There is no proof that the goods belonged to Mr. Provis. Mr. Hart—We shall be prepared to show that on the next examination. Mr. Lewis—Who am I to understand is the per son who makes the charge ? Mr. RoE—You can see the commitment. (It was handed to Mr. Lewis.) Mr. Lewis—lt is the servant, who, had she been paid her wages, would not have come forward. Oo you think there is sufficient to have him remanded? Mr. ROE replied in the affirmative, and the prisoner was remanded until Thursday. WORSHIP-STREET. HORSE STEALlNG.—Saturday a young man named Francis Bennett, was charged with being concerned with a man named John Kent in stealing a blown gelding, the property of Lewis Alexander. The prisoner was remanded. HATTON.GARDEN. ELOPEMENT.—A young man of respectable ap pearance, who gave his name Hamilton Nash, and a girl of interesting appearance, about seventeen years of age, were brought on Saturday before Mr. LAING under the following circumstances : Chiswick, watchman of Islington, deposed that on that morning, about half-past four o'clock, he saw the prisoners loitering about the neighbourhood with two heavy bundles m their possession. On ques tioning them as to their becoming possessed of the bundles, the male prisoner refused to give any satis factory answers, merely saying they were his own property, and he was in want of a lodging with his wife, the female prisoner. Witness, however, took them to the watch-house, and the young gentleman then stated that he was the son of Mr. Nash, the solicitor, of Camden -town, and the female was his father's servant, for whom he had an attachment ; but his father having objected to the match, they had packed up their clothes and left the house un known to any of the family. Mr. LAING ordered the young man to be taken outside the office while he questioned the female. Mr. LAING—Are you married ? Girl (modestly) —No, Sir. Mr. LAING—Who is that lad ? Girl—Master's son, Sir. Mr. LAlNG—Where does he live? Girl—Ar lington-street, Camden-town, Sir. Mr. - LAING—Whose property is that in the bun dles ? Girl—Mine and young master's, Sir. Mr. LAING—N'I' . here were you going with him ? Girl— Only going away, Sir. Mr. LAING—Who and what is your master ? Girl--He is a retired gentleman, The male prisoner was then had in, and said, in answer to Mr. LAING, that he was no business; his father was living on his property ; the articles found upon them belonged partly to him and his fair com panion, for whom he 'Was searching for lodgings. The Magistrate, after a suitable admonition, ad vised the son to return home, and pay attention to his father's instructions, or he would in future re gret it. They then left the office in a carriage, accom panied by the father, who thanked the Magistrate for his trouble and attention. UNION-HALL On Saturday a lady came to ask the assistance of the Magistrates in recovering a little dog which was detained unjustly by a person living in the Borough. The applicant had long passed the climacteric of life. Her attire was what is usually termed " shabby genteel," and it was evident from her deportment and I.inguage that she was a woman of education, and had moved in a respectable sphere of life. " On Wednesday last," said the lady, " I went to the house of a gentleman to inquire after some property to which I am entitled in the West Indies, accompanied by my little dog Sparkle, my only comfort. When I was on my return, by some ac cident I lost him. A cruel prosecution robbed. my late husband of his property, who died of a broken heart, and my only children, two sons, fell victims to the baneful climate of Sierra Leone. The ftiends whom I had in my youth and prosperity have for saken me, my relatives have chosen to forget me, and in my old age I am destitute of every requisite that can make life desirable and happy. The only object that evinced affection for me was my dear little dog. When sitting alone, thinking of days gone by, my little Sparkle would come and look me wistfully in the face, as if he read my feelings, and his anxious countenance distinctly evinced the dis tress he was in to see his poor mistress in trouble. --(Here the old lady burst into tears, and the Ma gistrate kindly desired to know how he could assist her, when she continued.)—O n Friday I went out to look fur my )ittle Sparkle, when a man came up and asked me if I had lost a dog? I told him I had. He said he had it, and would restore it on re ceiving a guinea. I told him I had not so much at present, but he might rely upon having it when I got a trifling annuity to which I am entitled. At this he walked away, and I saw him go into a house near Southwark-bridge. I have, therefore, gentle men (concluded the old lady), to ask your assistance ; for if I lose my little dog I lose every thing that cares for me in the wide world." The Magistrate then ordereda constable to attend the lady to the house into which the man had gone. by whose interposition, his Worship doubted not, the dog would be recovered. The applicant gratefully thanked his Worship and withdrew. The Trench Charge d'Affaires and Viscount STRANGFORD transacted business on Saturday afternoon at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affair% CULTURE OF SUGAR BY FREE LABOUR. (From the Anti- Slavery Monthly Repo-ter for Sept.) We are anxious, before we close this number, to-advert to another topic, on which the Colonial pamphleteers.and journalists have laboured hard during the last month, to work on the public mind. We allude to the culture of sugar by free labour. A writer of the name of Saints bury, has stept forward among the rest, and re peated the exploded fallacies of the late Mr. Marryat, as well as those of Mr. Macqueen, on the subject of the sugar imported hither from the East Indies, which they hardily affirm to be the produce of slave labour, and not the produce of free labour. Our readers of the present day are, perhaps, not aware that this controversy was conclusively settled in 1823. The late Mr. Marryat then employed his able pen in endea vouring to establish this point ; and the present race of writers have, in fact, done little more than, with far less of talent and acuteness, to produce again his refuted arguments, and to fortify them with his disproved statements. The refutation and disproof may both be found in a pamphlet published by Hatchard, entitled, " A Letter to W. W. Whitmore, Esq , M.P." This pamphlet was deemed decisive at the time. The facts of the case are precisely the same now as they were then, and the letter to Mr. Whit more is just as complete a reply to Mr. Saints bury's positions as it was to those of Mr. Mar ryat. A sheet, extracted from this pamphlet, has been published by the Anti-Slavery Society, and to that we must refer our readers. It will there be• seen, that not only is there no instance in which the husbandry of the Bengal provinces, from which alone we derive our sugar, is con ducted by slaves; but we have it pointed out to . us clearly, and in every instance, by whom the labour is perfbrined, namely, by the family of the Ryot or farmer, and by labourers hired by him as they are wanted, and whose rate of wages are distinctly given in the official docu ments on the subject. The whole effect on the public mind produced by Mr. Saintsbury and others, proceeds from their wilful and deliberate misrepresentation of the documents to which they refer. They quote, as applicable to Bengal, passages which have a reference only to the Malabar coast. The existence of slavery, for instance, in some re cently ceded districts on the Malabar side of India, is made to prove that sugar is culti vated by slaves in Bengal. The voluminous collections of documents, printed by the East India Company in 1823, furnishes the most decisive and irrefragable proofs—(every page is full of them) —that the whole of the agricul ture of the Bengal provinces is conducted by free labour. On this fact there can be no con troversy with an honest reader of these docu ments. But, in order to overthrow this mass of testimony, what do such writers as Mr. Saints bury do ? They resort to statements which refer to quite another pat t of the world, and ap ply them to Bengal ; and they hope to evade detection, because Malabar and Bengal are both in Asia or in India. They might with equal conclusiveness prove that corn is grown in . Great Britain by slave labour, because there happen to be slaves in Russia. The only sugar, however, which we receive from India comes from Ben gal. Malabar imports sitar from abroad for its own consumption. The proof of all this may be seen in the pamphlet to which we have re ferred, and which points in every case to the page of the authentic work which it cites. There is also another pamphlet, published in .1824, which is equally conclusive on this point • as the letter to Mr. Whitmore. It is entitled, "'East India Sugar, or an Inquiry respecting the means of improving the quality and reducing the cost of sugar raised by free labour in the East Indies." But if there were no such pamphlets in ex istence, the statements of Sir Edward Hyde East and Mr. Hume in the House of Com mons on the Ist of March, 1826, would of themselves be sufficient to refute every syllable published by Mr. Saintsbury, or a thousand such writers. Sir E. H. East is a large Jamaica proprietor, who had filled for years the situation of Chief Justice of Bengal. Be denied, in the most explicit terms, that slavery was recognised by law as a condition of society in Bengal ; and Mr. Hume added, that he had been much in Bengal, and from what he knew of society there, he would undertake confidently to say, that there were no agricultural slaves there. (See Vol. I. No. 10, p. 105.) Let a single extract more on this subject suf fice for the present. It is taken from the letter to Mr. Whitmore already referred to. The letter writer quotes the testimony of the Bengal Board of Trade, on the 7th of August, 1792, to the following effect, as contained in the first Appendix to the East India Company's great volume, printed in 1823, lip. 51 to 60. "In this country (Bengal) the cultivator is either the immediate proprietor of the ground, or he hires it, as in Europe, of the proprietor, and uses his discretion in cultivating what he thinks best adapted to the nature of the soil or the demand of the market. One field produces sugar, the next wheat, rice, or cotton. The husbandman is nourished and clothed from his own ground ; or if he thinks it more his interest to sell the whole of his own produce, supplies himself and family with the necessaries of life from his neighbours on the next public market." Con trasting their state with that of slaves in the West Indies, it is added, " The Bengal pea santry are freemen."--" The Bengal peasant is actuated by the ordinary ,wants and desires of mankind. His family assist his labour and Soothe his toil, and the sharp eye of personal interest guides his judgment." This statement is followed by a great variety of Reports from the presidents and collectors in the different pro vincas of Bengal, and extending through more than 200 closely printed-folio pages. The ex istence of slavery as a condition of society in Bengal, is not once alluded to in any one of these Reports, although they give us a variety of minute and detailed calculations of the cost of raising sugar. In short, there is no more allu sion to slave labour, as forming a constituent part of the charge of cultivating sugar, than there n trouble would be to slave labour in an estimate of the cost of growing corn in the county of Y or k. Slaves are never mentioned ; and the only sub labour of the farmer's househo ld. theed at, is the' of stitute for hired labour ourselvesever hinted con U ft u n t in N g ve the may a yelaboratespare mis-statements of our ad versaries on this question. The controversy is fast tending to its termination. The march of events will scarcely leave room much longer, either for misrepresentation or misapprehension. The facilities already given in Bengal by Lord W. Bentinck, to the investment of British capital and the developement of British skill in the cul tivation of the soil ; the almost certainty that those fiscal regulations which have hitherto depressed the growth of sugar in Bengal, and prevented the large increase of its imports into this country' will soon be repealed ; the prospect of an early removal of the other restrictions which still fetter the commerce of our Eastern possessions; the rapidly increasing population and prosperity of finyti ; the official statements of Mr. Ward, 0 to the profitable culture of sugar by free labour in Mexico ; and the rapid extension of the me' nufacture of beet root sugar in France ; a prelude, as we conceive, to its introduction into this country, and especially into Ireland ; all these circumstances combined, afford a promise which can scarcely fail of seeing a death-blow inflicted on the culture of sugar by slave labour, which a ll the misrepresentations of all the slave-holders iin the world, with all their clamorous partizans in this country, cannot avert, or even long retard• We mean, however, shortly to recur to the subject.

NICOL AND CO.'S COLONIAL COFFEE MART, I 8, Fenchurch-street, And Branch Establishment, 15, Rathbone-place, Oxford- e tree L THE COLONIAL COFFEE MART was established by the West India Planters and Merchants, with a rim to promote a more general use of the wholesome anti delicious beverage of Coffee, by sup plying the Public with a very superior article at a very moderate advance on the import price. This system, so beneficial to the consumers of Coffee, has been duly appre ciated ; the design of the projectors liberally encouraged and promoted by the Public ;—attracted the notice and conimen d.ttion of the faculty;' and the consumption of Coffee in con sequence has increased of late years to an unparalleled ex tent in any corresponding period. In compliance with the urgent request of numerous families of distinction in the Western district of London, the proprietors, NICOL and Co. have opened a Branch Warehouse, at 15, Rath bone-place, for the sale of purr, sound, wholesome Coffee, selected with particular erre and great judgment, and im ported direct from the Colonies by themselves, for the supply of these two Establishments. The present dis tressed state of the count!) , operating alike upon agricul ture, manufacture, and every description of produce, ren ders it a consideration worthy of notice, where the Public tan best and most economically supply themselves with necessaries of daily and universal consumption, of which Coffee now forms a particular article ; but though the Colonial Market has suffered and heavily par ticipated in the continued depression of every species of business the advantages to the consumer accruing front an overstocked and unsaleable market has not been fully ex tended to the public, nor can it, where articles have to pass through the hands of numerous wholesale and retail dealers, rendering to each some profit ere it reach the ac. tual consumer. The object of establishing the Colonial Coffee Mart is to save this' to the Public, as no interme diate charge is made between the Coffee Grower and Coffee Drinker, but the unavoidable necessary expences in curred in importing the Coffee, and incidental to carry on the original design of supplying the Public at a moderate rate with pure, sound, and wholesome Coffee ; and to Families, Coffee Houses, Hotels, and Seger Divans, where large consumption should induce studied economy, this Establishment offers every possible advantage.

RUPTURE. GAWAN and Co.'s PATENT TRUSSES without Steel Springs, 200, Flett-street, dose to Temple-bar. GAWAN and Co. engage to secure with ease every description of Rupture without the aid of Steel Springs ; and to remove all prejudice, they allow to rich and poor a trial of one month. Gawan and Co. assert this with the fullest confidence, from several years' practice in a great variety of slight as well as the most difficult eases of Rup ture, recommended by Gentlemen in the Medical Profes sion, whose surgical skill stands pre-eminent, and to whom they can refer. These Trusses will not suddenly break, even when Gentlemen are riding or hunting, nor when the poor are engaged in their most laborious occupations.

A young Timm., accompanied by anotlt -r f e malo , had a.fine: infant in her ar,mF, attended at the, Justice-room, to complain against the officers of St. Stephen's Coleman-auret fur having refused to - continue the cust ,, mary allowance towards the : , ;nin tenaace of her child. The lather of toe child had given security v.hich was satisfactory to the ollicers, for its support, being well able to bear tie (ave► ge. lie had, hoA-evcr, lady taken it into his head to endeavour to remove the child from the female who had the care of it,. and to place it under the superintendeece of own mother. To this arraugement the core-la:oaut had every possible objection. The child was in per fect health, and the complainant had fe:Wtics of watching over it which she could not Lere if the father's object were acceded to. She was service and would contribute all she could toward, it s ;11,:jr1.. Mance herself. The officers, however, sin no ob jection to the change, and the consequence e !he pay siood still. The LORD MAYOR asked the complain why she objected to the proposal? The young woman apprehended that In r Mint would not be kindly treated ;. and her re :son for thinking so was, that the grandmother ha I deehred that she (complainant) had no business to employ a wet nurse for the child ‘vheo she \V• 11' out to service, and that but for that the little dev.l wm!! hive been dead,ora deatrun, now," It was s:uted that the child's nurse acted tow:INN it with all the affection of a mother, ik:l(i had by her singular assiduities restored it, from a most de plorable state, to the condition in which it ,:ovrap peared. The parish officers did not deny this st-Itt neut. The I.ORD MAYOR—I have neither power nor inclination to interfere in this ca,e. T:ie child could not be better oil than it now is, and rui must enforce the regular payments towards the: support from the father. A respectable man called ut the justice.room, for the purpose of representing a brutal act committed by the driver of a stage-coach on the precc,ling day. His object was to find out the perpetrator I , y means of the press. Ile said that about ha!f-imst four o'clock, as he was passing over London-bii,lge, the driver of a stage-coach called out to a feeble old gentleman who was driving a pony chaise on his right side, to go on faster, and willout giving tks gentle man one minute to get out of the way, wi.ipped on his horses, drove his wheel against the chaise, and dragged it on 40 or 50 yards, hallooing all the time as if he was doing a meritorious action. At last the coachman succeeding in dashing down the pony across the footpath, near Tooley-street, and the old gentleman was flung out, and the clti,e thrown over him. All who witnessed this transaction spoke of it with the greatest indignstimi. lie coach man, as soon as he saw that he had succeeded, gave the whip to his horses and gallopped off. The person who related this circumstance sakt that there were persons in and upon the coach at the time, and he hoped that some one of them (if they were not all parties to this horrible sport) would come forward and point out the diirer. Ile believ ed, from what he had heard people say, that the coach was a Vauxhall coach. Mr. Brown (the Marshal} rather thought th a t the driver was more accomplished—probably from Greenwich. It is remarkable that drivers, guilty of acts of the kind, generally escape punishment by Vs hipping on their horses. GUILDHALL. Mr. Cox, ooe of the ,overseers of 131tek friars, said wished to address a few words to the Alderman (ThomPsoN), on a subject of great importance to all the parishes in the city of London. The parish of Blackfriars were parties to an appeal I especting the removal of a pauper, which had been postponed from time to time during the last rout Sessions, and the cause was still as far from being heard as at tha commencement, Each adjournment cost the prtriqt three guineas (having to keep five witnesses in a t .., tendance); and all the other parishes why► itt„ , tl art• peals depending suffered like inconvenitwe, lie wished the Alderman to turn his attehtia to a re medy for this evil. The Alderman said he was quite right in lotting the subject, and he would take care to bring before the Court of Aldermen. Mr. Cox thanked him for his attention. LAMBETH-STREET, Thomas Dean, the man eLarged with highway robbery, scab yesterday brought up for final exami nation. Mr. Hamer attended on behalf of the prisoner. The prosecutor, John Goy, recapitulated the evi dence which we gave on Monday. On his cross-examination by Mr. Harmer, he ad mitted that he was very drunk at the time the affair took place; and that on his being shown, in the lock-up room of the office, a number of perauus with the pr►soner, he had identified another perion as the persou who robbed him. Mrs. Sarah Foster kept the Plume of Feathers public-house, Shad . .vell, and remembered that en the Sunday morning the robbery took place, the prose cutor came into her house with two oth er • !nen, and had a pint of ale together.

MALT AND BEER DUTIES. (Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) The CHAIRMAN would now inform the meeting of what had taken place by the instrumentality of the Committee acting in their individual capacities in their respective districts. In Lincolnshire an en deavour had been made to have a county meeting, and he was surprised that the Sheriff had refused to call one. He was at all times willing to give others credit for that which he claimed himself, namely, purity of intention, and therefore he believed that the Sheriff, in refusing to call the meeting, did what he conceived to be right. However, had the humble individual who now addressed them been the Sheriff, he would not only have called a county meeting, but, if necessary, have presided at it. It was satis factory to know, that the conduct of the Sheriff of Lincolnshire would not prevent a meeting from being held in that county. Already the requisite number of county Magistrates had determined to call a meeting, which he had no doubt would be better attended than if it had been convened in the usual way. Some meetings had already taken place on the subject. One was at Reading, another at Maidstone, and another at Bury St. Edmund's, and others in the county to which he belonged. Various other meetings were in preparation. He now came to the third head, namely, what the Com mittee recommended the public to (10. The Com mittee advised the public to get up county meet ings, and parish meetings, regularly convened in vestry. The Committee, however, (lid nut intend to force the measures which they recommended upon the country. If the public did not take up a matter so deeply interesting to it, the Com mittee did not intend to stand forth and be con tinually agitating the question. The Committee would most cheerfully give their services to the cause, but to be effectual, their efforts must be se conded by the public. They were extremely de sirous of receiving from the meeting, or from any individual forming part of it, hints or suggestions. The Committee would, however, exercise their dis cretion as to whether they would adopt them. It must be quite obvious that an undertaking, of this kind could not be carried on without finances. No thing would be expended in the attainment of the object which the Committee had in view except what was absolutely necessary. The chief expense was the insertion of advertisements in the public Journals. The Hon. Gentleman then complimented the Journals generally, and the Farmer's Journal in particular, for the aid which they had lent to the endeavour to procure the repeal of the malt and beer duties. The disbursements of the Committee had been 27/., and their receipts 32/. Amongst the greatest subscribers were the Duke of Bedford and Mr. Curteis, who had given 10/. each.—(Hear.) — The subscriptions of these individuals were va luable,not so much for their amount as because they indicated that the opinion of the donors was in unison with that of the Committee, and that their support might be relied on in Parliament in favour of a proposition for the repeal of the malt and beer duties.—(llear, hear.)—The Hon. Gentleman con cluded by observing, that if he had omitted any thing in his address which ought to have been stated, some of his brother Committee-men would supply it._(Applause.) Lord TEYSIIAM, as a Peer of Parliament, had always advocated the cause of the agricultural classes, and especially of the labouring poor. lie had made himself personally master of the sub ject. He had traversed whole parishes arid districts, and entered the cottages of the labourer arid artisan in every direction. The present condition of the labouring classes, and particularly of the agricultural labourers, was such as loudly called for interference. Every person was bound to come forward who was capable of lending a helping hand, or giving the smallest aid towards restoring those unfortunate per sons to the station which they enjoyed in tire time of their ancestors, when the peasantry were the pride and glory of the country. (Applause.) Their spirit was now humbled to the dust, by measures which gave them cause to hate their landlords and all above them in rank. (Hear.) The labouring classes in this country were now reduced to so dreadful a state of misery, that he was convinced it was only owing to the want of means of combina nation, that we were spared the horrors of a servile war, He felt gratitude to the chairman for coming forward on the present occasion. He was conscious that nothing but the sincere feelings of his heart, and the noble motives which actuated him, had induced him to stand forth inn a cause which, as he stated, he found to be an up-hill one as regarded the higher ranks. He was sorry to find many persons were ab sent who should have made their appearance on this occasion. There should have been at least five Peers of the realm present. The Duke of Bedford, how ever, had promised his support, and no doubt there were marry Members of the House of Lords who would give the subject all the consideration which its importance merited. The question was, what, in the present circumstances of the country, was tire best mode of affording relief to the labouring classes, and bringing back those happy times when the labourer, after the toils of the day, sat at home with his wife, and drank his glass of home-brewed beer. Contract that state of things with the pre sent. Let those tvho heard him visit the gin-shop, and they would turn from the picture, as he haal done, with horror and disgust. The labourer must have something to refresh him after the toils of the day, and if he found that at home, his honest heart would lead him there in preference to the public house,—(Applatrse.)—The object of the committee tea* the repeal of the malt and beer duties. The duty on these necessaries of life was originally pro yosed as a security for the sum which was the be ginning of our national debt. These duties had now been carried to an extent unparalleled in at. country. He might here be allowed to quote the woids of 311 illustrious historian), Gibbon, who said, that " tire taxation of England was more cruel and oppressive on mart than all the crimes of all the Ceo4ars." It was the duty of every honest man to endeavour to lighten the load of taxation which pressed upon the poorer classes. He had been in frequent communication with the Noble Duke now at the head of the Government, and always found in him a most anxious desire to mend the condi tion of the people. The Noble Duke con stantly said," Show me how I can afford relief to the country, without injury to public credit, and to those establishments which I rim bound to maintain, and I will do it directly."—(Hear.) He believed that that noble individual's great mind would deve lop some plan for the relief of the country. Ile looked for something at the opening of Parliament. But it was necessary that the subject should be pressed on the attention of the Legislature from out of doors. Every person acquainted with the country was aware that at the present moment there was a less consumption of malt by probably two thirds, than there was in 1773. This was a striking proof of the distress of the labouring classes. It vas truly shocking to reflect upon the small amount of wages now generally paid to the industrious classes. Weaving, the average wages of which used to be its. or lie. per week, now obtained only 2s. or Is. Gd. This unfortunate state of things was ag gravated by the general adoption of the worst species of relief, —namely, the application of the poor-rates in aid of wages.—(Hear, hear.) 'rile whole operation of the poor-laws was an encourage, ment to vice, particularly as regarded the fair sex. He had made inquiries in twenty-aix parishes in Kent, and found that not one marriage in fifteen took place among the labouring classes where the woman was not ready to drop to pieces before the eaeer . nony was performed. Unless t he labourer were put In the way of maintaining himself without parish relief, it war impos-ible that he could be provident. He looked upon the poors' rate as his property, and his only object was to get as large a slice as possible. The proceedings of the parish officers with respect to the management of paupers were perfectly disgrace ful. In one parish he knew the paupers were all huddled together into a pound, and kept there all d ay In another parish they were placed in a pound and people set round to prevent them from gettinz out. On the coast, smugglers found no great diffi culty in hiring 500 men at threepence per day than in purchasing a leg of mutton. It was apparent, that unless this state of things were mended, a convulsion must soon take place. He was pleased to see so many respectable persons assembled at the present meeting. Nothing but the expression of the public voice would compel the Government to look the evil boldly in the face, and apply a remedy. The Noble Lord concluded, amidst much applause, with moving that the Report of the Committee .be adopted by the meeting. Mr. MARTIN CRIPPS deplored the increased con sumption of ardent spirits amongst the people. lin fortuustely, he said, the Minister's of the country had always been anxious to encourage the drinking of ardent spirits rather than malt liquor. When the visiting Magistrates of Surrey went round to visit the gin-shops in the Borough, Mr. Vansittart, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, said, " Take care how you decrease the drinking of spirits, which brings such a revenue to the country."—(A cry of " Shame !") The drinking of beer strengthened the labourer ; the use of ardent spirits rendered him weak and emaciated. The crimes committed by dram-drinkers were always of a blacker die than those perpetrated by other individuals not addicted to the use of spirits. On visiting lunatic asylum s for the poor, in the execution of his duty, he found that a large portion of the inmates had been driven to madness by die excessive drinking of spirits. — The Hon. Gentleman concluded his observations by an attack on the free-trade system, and tire return to cash payments. . A gentleman in the centre of the room, whose name we could not learn, contended that the licens ing system was the evil of which the poor had the greatest cause to complain. If the malt and beer duty were repealed, porter could not be sold retail for less than 3d. per pot—a price beyond the reach of the poor man; but if the licensing system were abolished, and competition allowed, the price would be reduced to 2d. per pot. Mr. CULLEN condemned the absence of the repre sentatives of the people on an occasion so interesting to the public— " Silence in this case the name of weakness hears, " And is partaker of the crimes it spares." Alluding to the conduct of the Sheriff of Lincoln shire, he described it as childish.—(Hear.) —People might scold him in Lincolnshire, but in London he was only laughed at. Many gentlemen had declared their confidence in the Duke of Wellington, and he also had confidence in him. The Duke, when he was out of power, perhaps from factious motives, or probably from imperfect views, expressed sonic opi nions which he (Mr. Cullen) thought neither liberal nor wise. Since he had been in power, however, he had, as far as opinions could be judged of by taking acts as their index, grown wiser and more liberal. — All Ministers in this country during his (Mr. Cul len's) lifetime, had professed better principles out of power than in power; but the Duke of Wellington had done better in power than out of it.—(Hear.) —Though he gave the Duke no credit for a passionate love of liberty, he did give him cre dit for exemption from prejudice, sound judgmen t, and sagacity which enabled him to read the signs of the times, and the real courage of yielding wisely to the wishes of the people—unlike his petty predecessors, who always opposed the will( f the people, and had not the wisdom to know when it was greater wis dom to yield than to resist.—(Hear.) —The Hon. Gentleman then made some strictures upon the vexatious nature of the proceedings in Exchequer against maltsters, and said, that the laws were so framed as to render it almost impossible for the most honest man to avoid infringing them. He con demned the licensing system, and considered the House of Commons highly culpable in not having abolished it in conformity with the tenour of their report in ISIS, and concluding with moving the following resolution :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the relief offered to the people by taking off the duties on malt and beer will be very trifling, unless the present system of arbitrary licensing be put an ad to." 111 r. FIFE, a Member of the Committee, objected to the mixing up the question of the licensing sys tem with the repeal of the duties. He was con vinced that if the meeting entertained the Hon. Gentleman's proposition, it would raise up a host of enemies.—(Hear, hear.) The CUAIRMAN wished the resolution to be with drawn, but Mr. CULLEN would not consent to it. After a long wrangle, The CHAIRMAN put it to the meeting whether the question of the licensing system formed a legiti mate part of the day's discussion. For the affirma tive of this proposition only five hands were held up, and a host against it. Mr. CULLEN then withdrew his resolution. Colonel SurrllonPE next addressed the meeting. He declared his expectation of being soon present at a meeting in Lincolnshire, called to petition Par liament for the repeal of the duty on malt and beer. He would apply no harsh epithet to the Sheriff for having refused to call a meeting of that county. It was a gocd maxim de absentibus (as well as ?nor tui.s)nil nisi bonnet. He would express his opinions at the approaching meeting freely and impartially, and, as far as his humble abilities permitted, he would perform his duty to his fellow creatures. — (Hear.) The report was unanimously approved of. On the motion of Mr. QUILTER, it was resolved that the Committee should in future use all their exertions to procure the total repeal of the malt and beer duties, and not as was originally proposed, their " material reduction. Thanks were voted to Lord Teynham and the Chairman, after which the meeting separated. «'e•ohseive by the Monthly List of Insoa vents published by " The Metropolitan Society for the Opposition and Prosecution of Fraudulent Insolvent Deb tors," that no less than 488 persons have petitioned the Court for relief under the Insolvent Act between the 4th day of November and the sth day of December, both in clusive. As ISAAC GLENNY, Esq. of Glenvale, was lately exploring an ancient Irish cairn, in the neighbour hood of Newry, he made a fortunate discovery of twenty pieces of silver coin, in an excellent state of preservation. Among them were one of the reign of an ALEXANDER, of Scotland ; and others of HEszitY 11., and one o the I.:ow:inns of England, coined in Waterford. LILLE, DEC.9.—A scandalous affair, highly interesting as regards public Morals, was yesterday brought La, re the Correctional Tribunal. A woman, who had been authorised by the Police to keep a house of de bauchery, was charged with an outrage against public mo rals, in having favoured and facilitated the corruption of a number of young girls under the age of 21, and much astonishment and disgust were excited at seeing several of the victims brought forward of the age of from 15 to 17. 'lice defendant attempted to exculpate herself by asserting it the police had granted licenses to these young girls to devote themselves to prostitution ; and the Court, not cre diting this statement, sent for the Chief Officer of Police. On his arrival he stoutly denied having granted such infa mous licenses ; but the documents were instantly put into Court, in the presence of the Commissary, who endea voured to excuse himself by saying that there bad been some mistake as to the ages of the girls. The President, however, ordered them to approach, and after remarking upon their small stature and juvenile appearance, he ob served to the Commissary that it would have been impos sible to fall into the error which was alleged as an excuse. The Chief Police Officer retired in much confusion, and the def . endant was condemned to be imprisoned for a year and a day, and to pay a fine of 200 f. It is said that a great many strange and most scandalous abuses exist with respect to the police regulations upon women of the town and improper hou•es ; and it is said that in some instances the police have forced young girls to inscribe their names in the book kept for the purpose, merely for the sake of obtaining the fee paid on such occasions. It is known that iu the provinces prostitutes are not allowed even to pursue their infamous vocation without this formality, and without submitting to a visit from a surgeon twice a month, though in Paris the Prefect of Police lately abo lished the regulation.

Mr. M A RCIIESA was also the bearer of des patches from Mr. DAWKINS, the British Mini ster at Greece. The Nureniburg Correspondent of the Bth December contains the following account of the illness of the Emperor of Russ' A, which it appears was occasioned by accident : BERLIN, DEC. 2. The intelligence of the illness of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia caused great alarm here at first, but according to the later accounts we may now make ourselves easy. At the first moment nume rous reports, founded on suspicious conjectures, were in circulation, all of which have now disap peared. We hear that his Majesty's illness was caused by the following accident : Pie Emperor and his august consort sleep in the same wing of the palace. Between the bed-rooms on each side, in which the Princes and Princesses also sleep next to their Majesties, •is a large apartment or gallery, the floor of which is highly polished. Dur ing the night one of their Majesties' children, rising up in bed, threw down a vase which stood on a bracket. The great noise caused by the fall roused his Majesty from his sleep; he leaped out of bed in much alarm and hastened to the room from which the noise proceeded, but slipped in the gallery and fell. The fright, the fall on his forehead, and the cold which he caught, pro duced his Majesty's indisposition. He derived great benefit from being bled immediately, and the fears of an inflammation of the brain, which might have been the consequence of the fall, are said to be now dispelled. Only a few hours the august patient was delirious, and showed some symptoms of alarm of mind. It need not be stated that this unpleasant event excites general sorrow here : we however con sole ourselves with the hope that his Majesty's vigorous constitution will overcome the effects of the accident, and we trust in the ability of his physicians. The life of the Emperor is of the highest importance to all Europe, and it cannot be denied that an event, which we trust is very distant, would lead to fresh embarrassments in the policy of Europe; and there is therefore but one unanimous wish for the speedy recovery of the universally revered Monarch. The extraordinary interest that is felt for him here, more than any other place, is partly founded on the love and respect of the Prussians for the daughter of their King, the E m press of Russia.* BELGRADE, NOV. 27, Accounts from Constantinople of the 10th say that the greatest tranquillity prevails there, and that commerce daily becomes more and more active; many ships of all nations are contineally arriving. It is said that some Greek merchantmen, which had hoisted their colours, were at first refused admission to the Dardanelles, and that this led to same dis putes, which were arranged by the intervention of the English Consul, and it was agreed that the Greek J►ips should be allowed to enter the Darda nelles on condition of their not hoisting the Greek flag. We understand that the complete evacuation of Adrianople by the Russians was to take place on the 23d instant. Mustapha Pacha, of Scutari, is still with the main body of his army at Philipp°. polis, where he has bespoken quarters for 17,000 men. " This article being dated the 2(1, the convalescence of his Majesty was not yet known at Berlin. The construction of a regular code of English law is a subject on which much difference of opinion exists, in respect both of its expediency and its practicability. Some tl4ok that the highly c omplicated system, now in effect, is well suited to settling the disputes to which a civi lized and wealthy state of society gives rise— that simplicity of law would in such circum stances be an absolute evil—and that more litiga tion would oc,:ur under a code, like the Code Napoleon, than under a mass of statutes and adjudged cases in which our jurisprudence at u4,1,,1 ie.1111,1 41.) present lies. It is moreover urged, that there would be the greatest difficulties in the formation of such a code--that, to consolidate so bulky and unwieldy a mass, would be a more than Her culean labour—and that men could hardly be found, possessing at the same time the philoso phical minds, and the profound legal knowledge, adequate to the fulfilment of so arduous a task. In « Sir Walter Scott's Life of Napoleon," where we should scarcely have expected to find such a discussion, a very ingenious argument is raised for the superiority of a collection of cases or precedents over a code ; the former being compared to a breakwater, by which the common law is maintained in its place and protected against encroachments. This common law was originally nothing bu the expression of the vague feelings of the corn munity, concerning what was just in each matter of dispute that arose; and the Judges, as the representatives of the KING, were the organs of that expression. They were the interpreters of the customs of the realm, and the records of their decisions were the best guides to the know ledge of those customs; just as the Court of Rolls of a manor is the evidence of the former proceedings of the Lord and the Leet. Hence the law has been gradually formed by the accu mulated decisions of the Judges upon particular cases, the principles of which decisions remain to be inferred from the reasons assigned in deli vering the respective judgments, and to be ap plied to the instances that arise in the best manner that the skill of the lawyers can suggest. The question is, then, whether it is better that the principles of the law should be laid down by the Legislature in plain terms, under the name of a code, or that they should be left to be ascertained by the experimental observa tion of each successive generation of lawyers ? In the former case the method would be to de scend from principles to particular circumstances ; in the latter it is necessary first to hunt out the principle, and then to endeavour to apply it. The rights of persons to liberty and property are at present badly defined ; the necessary con sequence of which is the difficulty of knowing when they are violated, and when not. Some offences are not defined at all, such as Libel, which can be explained no otherwise than by saying it is " that which a Jury shall find to be so." Other branches, such as the Law of Car riers, are so uncertain that it is extremely diffi cult to know what are the duties of those per sons to their employers—when they do right— and when wrong. Not long ago the Court of King's Bench was equally divided upon the question, whether a person hiring a glass-coach was liable for the mischief done by the driver whilst the hirer was in the coach ; and the law on the point is at this day unknown, and would de pend on the Judge before whom it might be raised. Instances without number might be cited in proof of what is in every one's mouth— " the glorious uncertainty of the law"—a phrase which implies a general ignorance among the people of what is a man's own property, and what is his neighbour's—a confusion between meum and tuum—between what lawfully may, and what may not, be done. That the law should have become a standing topic of conversation—that great public attention should be drawn to the decisions from time to time pronounced in our Courts, on account of their important effects upon the interests of us all,—are facts which prove the process of law making, or rather law-changing, to be constantly going on. Befo're November last, commer cial men believed the correct course to be to protest in London bills refused under the circumstances of that which was lately recovered against the house of BARING ; to their surprise the Judges held (we do not say well or ill) that such a bill ought to be protested at Liverpool. Is it not then ob vious that a code relating to bills of exchange, in which such a case was provided for, would have prevented the cause of MITCHELL v. BARING from having ever been heard of, and would have been a great public benefit ? A comprehensive and well digested code would, so far as we can see, be a prodigious improvement upon our present Judge-made law. Mr. HUM PHREYS has already given an outline of one re specting real property ; is there not ability enough in England to take the other branches by Committees as,..it were ? and by a division of labour, to reduce into form and symmetry the mass of rugged materials, among which we are now stumbling and falling, whilst we seek pro tection for our rights? If the Code Napoleon be not worthy of imitation, there is at all events the Roman Code for our model,—a code raised with materials even more scattered and multi- furious than we possess, yet forming a monu ment of human wisdom, whose grandeur will, to all ages, command the veneration of mankind.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY, COURT OF CHANCERY. lIODGES V. HORSFALI. The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor, the present Master of the Rolls. Mr. Horsfall was the owner of certain premises at Battle-bridge, for the sale of the lease of which he entered into a treaty with Mr. Hodges. Fifteen hun dred pounds was to be given for the lease, which was to be for 31:yeats from Midsummer, 1824 ; the rent was to be 801. a year. Mr. Hodges was to make certain repairs and additions, and a plan of such repairs, &c. was said to have been agreed upon. A demur took place, and Mr. Horsfall filed a bill against Mr. Hodges for a specific performance, according to a given plan. This bill was dismissed. Mr. Hodges next filed a bill against Mr. Horsfall for a spe cific performance according to another plan. It did not appear that any definite plan had been distinctly agreed upon, although two or three plans had been at different times the subject of conversation between the parties, therefore the Vice-Chancellor thought this bill ought to follow the fate of the others ; in which the Court upon this appeal concurred in the propriety of.—The order of the Master confirmed with costs. DUNSTON V. APPOLD. The Court directed au issue to be tried in the Court of Common Pleas, to ascertain whether Mr. Giles had acted as the agent of Mr. Dunston, or on his own account, respecting the houses Nos. 40 and 41, at Chelsea. IN RE WHITE AND METCALF, BANKRUPTS. The Court proceeded to hear the arguments in this matter in support of the act of bankruptcy. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. FRY V. LORD SIIERBORNE. This case stood in the paper to he spoke to ; the ques tion in which arose upon the construction of a marriage settlement. The Court on a previous day had delivered its judgment, but the Solicitor-General having stated, that at the time that judgment was pronounced by the Court various facts connected with the settlement were not brought to the Court's attention, the case was ordered to be spoke to on that point. After a long discussion, the Court confirmed the order it bad previously made, ordering the Solicitor-General's clients, at whose request the present application was made, to pay the costs. The Court then proceeded upon exceptions and further directions. ROLLS COURT. Nothing of any public itni ortance took place in this )urt to-day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. BRETT V. R EALES AND ANOTHER. Mr. TAUNTON stated that this was an action to try the right of the Corporation of Cambridge to certain tolls on every sort of merchandise brought for sale into the town. The case had been tried three times before.— The Learned Counsel said he could trace back the right on the part of the Corp( ration to the reign of Edward 1., from which tuna the Corporation had invariably either col lected or let the tolls in question. The case is likely to last two days. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. MORRISON V. MITCIIELL. Mr. Serjeant Witnit stated that this was an action brought by the p'aintiff%, the extensive haberdashers in Fore-street, to recover of the defendant, a wholesale draper at Norwich, the sum of 1001., which they had lost by a person named Shaw, to whom they gave credit, in conse quence of a letter written by the defendant. • The facts are shortly these :—ln March, 18 9 6, Shaw entered into an agreement with the defendant, to conduct a concern'of his at Bunny, for which he was to receive a sal ,ry of 701. per year. The business was to be carried on in the name of Shaw. Some time after this agreement WO concluded, Shaw came to London; to make purchsFegr and to enable him so to do be was furnished w ith the fel" • lowing letter, addressed to the plaintiff by the defendan W t " Gentlemen,—The bearer of this letter , Mr. rie; Shaw, has succeeded me in my business at Bungay/_ his being a stranger in the London market, I beg to in form you that I can recommend him as a person to wtog l you may safely give credit, (Signed) " MITCHELL. The Learned Counsel said, he would prove that the de' fendant was aware that the representation he gave to the plaintiff was false, and should therefore be entitled to a verdict Slater, a clerk in the house of Morrison and Ca. the plaintiffs, stated that Shaw was a complete stranger to that firm, and that they were in duced to g ive hial ere dit on the representation of the defendant's letter. William Shaw examined—l entend the defendant's service in 1826, for which I was to receive a salary of 70 1 . per annum. I was in no ways interested in the business on my own account, at the time I produced the letter and applied to the plaintiffs for credit. The goods I received were all sold for the benefit of the defendant. Did not tell the plaintiffs anything about the agreement existing b e tween me and Mr. Mitchell. There had been no con versation between me and the defendant previous to the l letter being written respecti n g the London markets. continued in the defendant's service up to 1828, when f left him, and commenced business on my own se count. I was a short time afterwards made a bankrupt. the plaintiffs had no notice that I had left the defendant, and continued to supply me with goods as before, and at the time of my bankruptcy they were creditors for nearly 1001. I commenced business in a shop immediately op posite to the one I conducted for Mr. Mitchell. Cross-examined—The plaintiffs had no knowledge of my agreement with the defendant until after my bank ruptcy.

Mr. Serjeant SeANKIE then addressed the Jury at great length. He certainly thought this a case for his Lord ship to decide, turning as it did upon a point of law which was now a well established principle, viz., that before a party giving a representation by which credit was ole" tained, could he made responsible, it must be dela, shown, not only that such misrepresentation was false O u deceitful, but that the party was actuated by fraudul ent motives at the time.

No man will affirm, we think, that the changes in it have de ducted from that character of sanctity, and sound wisdom, which has justly placed it amongst the finest of human composition. To ourselves it would seem as if much, which was once, with sound discretion, made part and parcel of it, but, by change of circumstance, had become less apposite, were then taken away, and the fabric, without any violation of its essentially ancient and reverend features, not only reno vated to primitive strength and usefulness, but even enlarged and improved. Should it be in convenient to any to procure the American Prayer Book, Mr. Hull's work, which has a chapter devoted to a minute examination of its contents, may be profitably consulted instead. We will merely observe, by way of preface to such an employment, and to disarm the preju dice that is indisposed to believe any substantial improvement likely to come from the Western Continent—that scarcely a point has been - achieved, which is not in fact traceable to re corded English discussion upon English land. It is proposed, next, that to effect the neces sary changes there should be " a review of our Articles and Liturgy, by commission to that effect, if obtainable from the Crown; and if not, by a Committee of Religion in the House of Commons." And an interesting and, cer tainly, very instructive summary is added of the proceedings, which, at various periods of the English Church, and under different aspects of our political history, have taken place, for the accomplishment of this very matter. At the . present moment, few timings can more sensibly affect the heart of the anxious member of the Establishment than such a record. We are greatly mistaken if it will not shew him the better principles of human nature, and the worthier dictation of religiOus wisdom, at every convenient opportunity asserting their rights against an unwise, though often honest, adherence to what is falsely called consistency ; a too sensi tive dread of change, and a persuasion that " the thing which is, is the thing that ought to be." He will perceive, moreover, in the traCcs of op portunities lost, which, it is now but too evident, might have been improved to noblest purposes, no dim or doubtful warnings against time mis chief of bringing to the discussion of these vital questions any other than a candid, forbearing, quiet spirit, tempered by fear of God, and hearty love of man. “ The Church of Christ," observes the book before us, " does not require, ft it in way sanc tion, all the distinctions which now so unhappily prevail amongst Protestants."

EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY. A Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of India Stock was held at the India House this morning, for the purpose of declaring a dividend on the Cap tal Stock 01 the Company, from Midsummer last to Christmas next. The Court was made special, fur the purpose of submit- ting for confirmation an alteration in the by-laws. JOHN LOCK, ESQ., in the Chair. The minutes of the last Court were read. The CHAIRMAN informed the Court that, in consequence of the non-arrival of the accounts from India up to May, 182 S, which had not yet been received, the general ac counts of the Company's affairs could not be made out. In a nswer to an Oservation from Mr. Dixon, the Chairman stated, that instructions had been sent out to the Indian Government to use all possible despatch in sending over the accounts. Accounts of Superannuations, cost of Volunteers, &c. Were presented. The CHAIRMAN informed the Court that the Board of Directors bad come to a resolution respecting the dividend. The SECRETARY read a minute of the last meeting of the Board, at which a resolution was passed to declare a divi dend of 51 per cent. for the current half year. The CHAIRMAN—IS it the opinion that this dividend be agreed to ? The dividend was confirmed. THE BY -LAWS. The CHAIRMAN informed the Court that it was made special to confirm the proceedings of the last Court for altering the by-laws. The SECRETARY read the minutes of the proposed alteration. It ordains that all bills and resolutions intro duced in either House of Parliament, having reference to Indian affairs, shall be placed en the proprietors table for their information. The Court confirmed the resolution. PENSIONS AND SUPERANUATIONS. General THORNTON rose to explain some miscon• ception in his motion of the last Court, and moved a re solution to the effect that printed returns should be made of all pensions and allowances granted by the Company. The CHAIRMAN thought the return unnecessary, as such a statement had already been made out. Mr. HUME said he thought it would be more politic to have all the accounts Fublished, as any attempt at conceal ment would lead to a suspicion that all was not right ; and as the conduct of the Directors, and the afftirs of the Com pany, would soon become a subject of investigation in Par liament, it would be well to have every thing understood out of doors. _ _ Mr. DIXON remarked, that if the affairs of the Com pany were to be made public, there was no knowing where such a course would stop. The CumamAN again said, all the information asked for by the motion was already before the Proprietors. REDUCTIONS IN THE ALLOWANCES IN INDIA, Mr. HUME said he had a few remarks to make on a subject which had caused some excitement in this country, as well as in India, he alluded to the reductions in the Batta. He was of opinion that it was not proper that any interference should be made by the Proprietors in the executive department, and while he was of opinion that every economy should be used, yet with regard to allow ances of persons in India, it ought to be recollected that parties who went to India in the service of the Company, did so under the impression that they would return after a few years' absence, to their native land with a compe tency. The Medical Department, it was stated, were par ticularly referred to, and he hoped some satisfactory answer would be given to the thscrvations he had wade, The CUAIRMAN, who spoke very low, was Wo.l.eretcßld to say, that since the order was seut out respecting the reductions, further instructions hn l been forwarded, which would place the allowances on an improved footing. The medical officers were to be allowed to retire on an allow- ante of 7004 per annum, and nut 5001.

The announce ment of Lieutenant-Colonel.Smyth's retiring from the com mand of the 62d, was received with feelings of undisguised regret through all rank; in that distinguished corps, and the above memorial from the officers of the regiment, is but a slight manifestation of the esteem always evinced for Colonel Smyth, both in his character as an officer and a ;entluman. We understand, a very handsome silver snuff uox has been presented to Colonel Smyth by the noncom missioned officers of the regiment, in token of respect and regard for their late Commanding Officer.

FATAL DUEL IN FRANCE. EXTRACT VT A PRIVATE LITTER FROM AN ENGLISH HALF-FAY OFFICER AT CAMBRA 1", DATED DEC, S " The disgraceful and unmanly deed which was perpetrated here a few months ago by some of the officers of the dragoon and infantry regiments, then quartered in this garrison, on the daughter of one of its most respectable inhabitants, by one of them enticing her to his quarters, and there administering to her a narcotic drug, when he and several other brother officers formed the most diabolical, the most disgusting, and the most unofficerhke plan that ever could be contemplated, to revenge themselves on this thoughtless, and, although I must say, per haps rather criminal, victim, in the dead of the night, when they stripped her (notwithstanding she being in a state of pregnancy), and committed the most atrocious barbarities on her person; after which they conveyed her in the senseless state she was in, without any covering upon her (tout nue), and laid her ut the door of her distressed and aged father, where she was found at two o'clock in the morning by the servant who had been waiting up for her, with her body tattooed all over, and the whole of her hair shaved off. " This affair was represented to the Prefect at Lille, who transmitted it to the Minister of War, at Paiis, and a court-martial was immediately ordered to be held, the result of which was that they were dismissed from the service, and the regiments order ed away to Arras and Aire, near St. Omer. The young woman was so affected at her disgraceful situation, that she went raving mad, and has ever since been under confinement. " A cousin of her's, a lieutenant in the Regiment of the Hussars de Nord, which has replaced them in this garrison, was walking on Sunday on the espia l:a:le near the citadel, when he by chance came in contact with the wretch who had so acted towards his cousin. He immediately accosted him, and de manded satisfaction for the injury he had done to his family. A meeting took place at the back of the ramparts, when his antagonist fell, being rnn through his body, and he obliged to fly to Belgium, as, according to the late law on duelling, he would have been imprisoned for three years. Such has been the termination of thisunfortunate and disgrace ful event, which has so strongly excited the public feeling and indignation in this part of France. Hopes are entertained that the Colonel will obtain a pardon for Lieutenant as he only acted through the warmth of injured family feeling." LOVE AND SUICIDE. A young gentleman, a cousin of mine, a native of one of the northern counties of beland, formed an attachment for a young lady, in his father's im mediate neighbourhood—it grew with his youth, and was reciprocal between himself and his beloved. The young lady had no fortune, but a most prepos sessing appearance, and amiable disposition—she, an only child of an aged couple, respectable though poor. The gentleman had but two eons and two daughters, the two latter married. The young gentleman, the subject of this painful narrative, was the eldest. On the father hearing of his son's attachment, he induced me, as I was my own mas ter, to accompany his son to the Indies. To describe his distraction of mind at being forced from the idol of his soul- may be better imagined than described by me. I shall merely say we set sail; on our de parture the father of the young lady was indignant at the apparent irdifference of the young man to his daughter. Ile left the country and took her with him to London; when he introduced her into society, she was only to be seen to be admired, and this was her first time of mixing with the world. A Colonel of rank met her at a ball, fell in love with her, proposed for her to her father, whose re monstrance induced her to accept so advantageous a proposal. They were milled. The fatal intelli gence reached me—and to describe my situation in a strange countr!—well aware of the effects of this unfortunate event, I did not disclose it to him; hut he received himself a letter shortly after, informing him of it. Oh ! my God, to describe his ap pearance on reading it. "Oh ! Charles, my darling gill is for ever another's," said he, "my first anti only love ! is she in the arms of another ? Oh ! my father has ruined nip for ever." He spoke frantically of every scene that occurred between them. I remonstrated with him saying, had she loved him she would not marry an other : but he said, why not obey her parents as well as I did ? " Oh! my darling girl, this world," said he, "is now a blank to me." It would be itnt possible for me to advert to all his distrwled ex pressions, " When," said he," will I see her ?. Oh, never again !" I cannot write fully ; lum now merely on my journey to his father, who is yet un acquainted with it, and I just take this spot to give you au outline. He committed suicide by means of his rEzor; he cut his throat.

Eman cipate the Catholics, replied the friends of re ligious liberty, and the Association will die for want of food, having no natural aliment but Catholic grievance. 'Well, who was right ? What has now become of the Association ?. We say nothing about the law for putting it down.

But let any one real the repot of a meeting of their finance committee, and see in what a state of conflict, uproar, and anarchy,. are the elements and first principles of which the Association itself was composed ! Now that the binding power has been withdrawn from its heterogeneous and hostile particles, by the removal of that pervading grievance which alone had cemented the Catholic Association, and indeed to which alone it was owing that the Catholics existed at all as a separate or de finite body within these islands, the Asseciators, at peace with the Protestant community, are at open - war • amongst each other. One of them; Mr. Francis Wyse, it appears frOm the report which has been sent to us, had on one occasion transmitted a letter to Mr. Bric, addressed to that gentleman at the house of " Counsellor" O'Connell, (the same personage that has been lately putting forth a charge of bribery against this journal.) Mr Wyse added repeatedly, and in the most solemn manner, that his letter to Mr. Brie was marked " private" on the cover. It is admitted on all hands, however, and by Mr. Daniel O'Connell himself, who only denies that the letter had any mark of " private' on the back of it, and he broke open Mr. Wyse's letter to Mr. Brie, - permitting it to be public read in the Association, and copies to be taken of if, for the use of Mr. Fitzhenry, who, if we follow right the narative of the transaction, must have been a party libelled in Wise's letter, as lie after wards brought an action or actions against that gentleman, and in one of them recovered damages to the extent of 500/. Wyse having paid or compounded the damages, comes to the Finance Committee with a motion (through Mr. Sheil, who had been his counsel, as O'Connell, bad been Fitzhenry's), to be indemnified for the costs of his lawsuits out of the old Catholic fund (the rent, probably, but that is left unspecified). w c e l a im do t o n p o e t e t) r n e i t a e r i; n t d o o b n e n i g fi r c e a a t t i ( ju judges of j o s of the thing is the showing up each other —the Ns h u o oc t: ll e‘ a 'er, is but by-play in the piece ; the marrow ill-blood—the Billingsgate abuse (for Counsellor O'Connell complained, or rather boasted, that Mr. Wyse had placarded him about the streets of Dublin for' liar, a scoundrel, and a coward") —this Billingsgate, we say—this distraction of t passions p a e n o t interests—this e n v, t , e h r o e s N t s s e — re t assured mutualb by the h eo inveteracy rallg Orange men men would stick together until they had filched from us Protestants every particle of civil and religious freedom, are all so many conclusive evidences that Catholic emancipation has "done its work," and that as a thing capable of political mischief by its unity, Irish Catholicism exists no longer.— Times. A public meeting of land-owners and others took place yesterday at the London Tavern, to receive the report of the Committee appointed last October to take steps for the repeal or ge neral reduction of the malt and beer duties, with a view to enable the labouring classes to supply themselves with beer. A very good object cer tainly,' and of which we would gladly witness the accomplishmemt. But before the poor labourers can supply themselves with beer (liquid food, as it has been called, instead Of gin, which is liquid fire), at however cheap a rate, they must have some money, arising from an increase of wages. Mr. Curteis, jun. of Sussex, was edited to the Chair. He regretted the want of co-operation in the landed aristocracy ; from which we sup pose we may infer generally, their adherence to the Ministry, to whom, no doubt, it would be very agreeable to repeal the Malt and Beer Duties, and who, in truth, ought to make a great effort for that purpose, but to whom it will probably be a matter of vast perplexity to find a burrowed the from substitute. The resolutions proposed by the Committee, and adopted by the Meeting, are, we must confess, not of the most striking kind. andiTligl The Lr f o o fro u d r r l t r T h se a 3o l if t i c it l llem fi s, f c t h h oo a l r s e politicaleconomy, society, in o f very u s s s c . _ s t of the labouring , 0 s' f p Or ea t k h i e n g h loaf] the rucks i aversion ii o ns tie ntt o e f frriel a le s -t e bo r o v rb i n i: raa , a ic) .a pe r ioi i ef 7 ißt E r, i t i oa g ni l l a ys l i d )o , The Meeting at the London Coffee-house yesterday, on the subject of the Repeal of the Malt and Beer Duties, affords matter for re flection. We have often alluded to the want of protection of the property of this country, under the present Constitution. A very sandi frac tional part is enabled to prey on the mass of property of the community. The Meeting of yesterday furnishes one illustration of this. The gentlemen farmers and yeomanry throughout the country Way be said to be unanimous as to the necessity of making an exertion to obtain the re peal of the Malt and Beer Duties. Indeed, it is hardly possible to conceive a mode of raising money more injurious to the health, morals, acid comfort of the population. But the Aristocracy take DO interest iho question. As an in stance, Mr. Voster, one of the most distinguished agrieultvists in England, stated, at the Meeting yesterday, that notwithstanding his wronst exer. tions, he could oily obtain in BedforLbire the countenance of the Duke of Bedfcati and another Magistrate,, to, the object they had in view. In fact, the aristocracy vac no more for the people of England, than. they care for the people of Otaiiene.

without them. A better prooreannot be afforded of the want of connection between property and representation, for the Aristocracy possess a very small share of property compared with that of the body favourable to the object of yesterday's meeting. If the country were really and not virtually represented, such a marked insult to the people durst not be shown. Lord Teynham stated some striking particulars respecting the condition of the labouring poor throughout the country. In 26 parishes in Kent, with which he was acquainted, not one in fifteen marriages tool; place till the female was ready for the straw. Mr. Sinclair Cullen took the opportunity of de menstrating how intimately connected the Leensing system was with the evils of which the meeting complained ; and, indeed, every man who Las at all reflected on the subject, must be aware that the monopoly engendered by the licensing system is directly opposed to the object of supplying cheap and good beer. The mono poly, in the first place, gives au additional value to the house, which is necessarily charged to the consumer. In the next place, where a man !me the power of supplying without rivalry what he pleases, it would be- a miracle indeed if he cared much about the quality of the commodity. Dr. Bright, in his " Travels in Hungary," observes, that the public-hodses of that country are ob ligsd to sell the wine of the respective estates on which they are ; and that though the country wealuces the most delightful wine, what is to be obtained in inns is absolutely nauseous. The same effect always flow from the same causes ; and an English brewer can nauseate the public with his beverage as well as a Hungarian Arch bishop. And yet, it was decided at the meet ing yesterday that the licensing system was not within the scope of the meeting— that is, that the condition on which alone good beer can be obtained was not within the scope of the meet ing. They had better have said at once, our professions are a false pretence—we care nothing for the public, or the supply of the public,— Morning Chronicle. The Dublin Evening Post of Saturday last contains a long article, commenting on some very injudicious remarks on the cause of the wretchedness of Ireland in the last number of the Quarterly Review. The Reviewer had observed, that au English or a Scotch popula tion would have made Ireland another Flanders, .Grenada, or Lombardy. Our Dublin contem porary very properly observes, that the object of Government long was to prevent the improve ment of Ireland, and he quotes from the Dublin Morning Register a long list of Acts of Par liament passed for the express destruction of almost every conceivable branch of industry in Ireland, in compliance with the grasp ing but stupid jealousy of England. Scotland, on the other hand, he observes, has been a highly favoured country. " At the time of the Union," he observes, " Scotland was over-run with beggars and vagabonds ; While the High lands were no more than dens of robbers, under the orders of sanguinary and ferocious chieftains. A little wholesome severity in hanging the thieves, and abolishing the villainous hereditary jurisdiction of the thick-blooded robbers, has made Scotland, if not one of the most moral, at least one of the best behaved and most com fortable people in Europe. This was followed by the British Government undertaking a radical reform, and taking Scotland to her bosom. . . What was the state of Scotland only little more than a hundred years Iwo ? What was the state of England at the Reformation, when coleworts and lettuces were imported from Holland for the table of Queen Catharine Parr? Onehad a Scotch population, the other an English population, as well as now. But in what state were the people ? They were worse—or historians are fabulists— than the Hahlans of Ireland are at this moment ; they were worse, although the population was not, perhaps, a third of its present amount, in point of cleanliness and comfort, than the re motest villages in Connaught. What produced the gradual change ? Better government, bet ter Jaws—Justice. In the reign of James I. the Commons had become impotent ; the union of the Crowns manifestly tended to ameliorate the condition of Scotland, by rendering the titled ruffians, who were called the nobles of the an cient kingdom, place-hunters at the Court of England, instead of robbers of their neighbour's goods and murderers of their own serfs. In Ire land, instead of stabilitating property, and bring ing the Irish ruffian,who happened to have a title to his tail, to justice, and protecting the people, they began to rob master and slave with the same impartiality, and a whole province ewes forfeited to the Crown. But this was not deemed sufficient. Instead of making the com mon people comfortable, and imparting to them the advantages of equal and impartial justice, which we have the authority of a contemporary placcman they were willing to receive with eager ness and gratitude, they attempted to oust the entire population, and to plant an English and Scotch colony in their stead." There can be no question thar the treatment of Ireland and Scotland has been very different. Indeed, when the union between Scotland and England was in agitation, one of the arguments on which most stress vets laid by Fletcher, of Salton, the opponent of the measure, as may be seen in his writings, was—See with what injustice you treat Ireland, a colony of your own ; and what are we to expect, if we connect ourselves with a people so lost to every sentiment of justice as you are, when you treat your own children in Ireland with such cruelty and inhumanity ? Boswell, in his Life of Johnson, mentions that his hero having be haved in a very rude manner to Dr. Adam Smith, in Mr. Cadell's shop, having observed Robertson, the historian, about to enter, he said —I dare say you will treat Robertson as roughly as vou have treated Smith ? Johnson behaved, on the contrary, with the utmost polite:we to Robertson. It might be said, that the difference of treatment of Scotland, originated in a sort of humoursomo spirit, as if to show that the nation could be both kind and cruel. The real cause, however, was the fear with which two 6UCCCS sive rebellions inspired the Government. It was only after the extinction of the rebellion of 1745, when Government was obliged to apply itself in good earnest to Scotland, that the improvemeot commenced.—lbid. We refer our readers to a Report which will be found in another part of our columns, of a Meeting held at the London Coffee-house yes,. terday, for the purpose of receiving the Report of a Committee appointed at a previous Meet ing to procure the repeal of the Malt and floor Duties. There is no doubt that these duties are unequal in their operation and impolitic in principle. The high price of beer drives the workin g classes to the consumption of cheap gin, which enriches the revenue at the expense of the comfort aad morality of the people. Hence the increase of crime, an d a d rea df u l aggravat i on o f existing misery. It cannot be denied; however, ttnit the Malt and Beer Duties arc not the sole liquid ca use of the spreading of the plague of fire," which is more destructive than any of those with which Egypt was afflicted. The Brewers' monopoly, by operating to the deterio ration of a wholesome and nutritious beverage, has greatly tended to lessen the demand for malt drink. This monopoly ought to be broken down, and the licensing system abolished. How does it happen that the advocates of " free trade" take no steps to procure a 44 free trade" in beer ?—Morning Herald. There are mow, we believe, lying in the con demned cells of New gate the capital convicts of two Old Bailey Sessions, and part of those of a third. God forbid that we should appear to wish to hurry on the fate of wretched beings . whose lives are forfeited to the law, on their own . accounts! On the contrary, most happy should we be to see the severity of the law ameliorated, and the punishment of death inflicted much sel domes than it is ; but if, unhappily, the law is to remain the same, and death is still to be the penalty, then we think that a delay which con verts what ought to act as a terror and an ex • ample into an oblivion of his offence, and pity towards the criminal, is highly mischievous. Every one who has witnessed the different ef fect of executions on the circuits to those which take place in the metropolis, must be aware of the troth of this. There the punishment fol lows while the public mind continues alive to the enormity of the crime. Here the criminal, the offence, and his trial, are forgotten, and he is at length led forth to suffer amid the mistaken sympathy of the crowd, aided, as it too often is, by a morbid and perverted use even of the sacred truths which should influence his last moments. We can readily imagine (and who is there that will not honour the feeling ?) that the Royal mind must naturally shrink from the sad duty of presiding at Councils when these fatal necessities are decided upon, and that an excuse is readily caught at for postponing what is in every sense an " evil day." But if it be true, as is generally reported, that the ill-health and physical incapacity of the chief City Law Officer is the cause of the delay, and of thus swelling the ultimate more melancholy and painful duty, we cannot help thinking that there ought to be a power somewhere to obviate so serious an in convenience, and that that power ought to be exerted. Indeed we cannot help going the length of saying, that it would be almost as well that there should he an amnesty given to offences, as that their punishments should be delayed till all hatred for their crimes are absorbed in sympathy towards the criminals. We do not wish to en•• large on a subject so painful in iteelf. Nothing but public duty would urge us to notice it at all ; but when it is considered how much of heinous crime is produced and nurtured by the delay and uncertainty of punishment, we are confident that, in what we say, we arc urging mercy to wards numbers who may otherwise be in the place of those whose fate has been so long mi- The rumour that it is the intention of Go vernment to pay off the Four per Cents. by the creation and substitution of stock bearing a lower rate of interest appears to gather strength, and the expostulations and reproaches of those whose interests are opposed to this measure become proportionally more vehement. The prevalence of such a rumour, and the lively apprehensions and premature complaints of the holders of this particular description of security, having, as we before observed, no other foundation than pro bability and conjecture, may be considered as testimony, powerful, although indirect and unin• tentional, not to the practicability only but to the justice of the anticipated measure. If it were really perceived to be either unjust in prin ciple or difficult of execution, we are quite con vinced that the attempt would not be so confi dently foretold, and that the parties who will suffer by its accomplishment would be compara tively free from anxiety or alarm. A threat, we perceive, is held out of a combination on the part of the class of fundholders in question, to defeat the design so confidently ascribed to Government. Of this threat the fundholders themselves, if, as is most probable, they com prehend their own position and their own in terests, cannot be the authors. If the state of the Money Market be such as to enable' Govern ment to borrow money by funding at a lower rate of interest than four per cent.—and in no other circumstances will the attempt be made— no combihation can defeat or impede its success, or produce indeed any other effect than that of aggravating the loss to those who shall so com bine. Government is not liable to be baffled or obstructed by a combination whose sole means of resistance is the magnitude of its aggregate demand, inasmuch as Government has the right and in the case of such a combination would be bound to exercise it, of dealing with the annui tant separately and in detail. That it would be impossible to pay off annuitants to the amount of a hundred and fifty millions in one day, is true and obvious enough ; but to pay this sum, as Government may, if it please, in ten or twenty rapid instalments, would be neither impossible nor difficult. The only consequence of driving Government to such a course would be, that the bonus which always accompanies such opera tions, and is necessary to make them proceed smoothly, would be lost to those holders of Four per Conte. who embarked in the proposed combination, and gained by other capitalists. That the anticipated operation is strictly within the terms of the contract subsisting between Go vernment and the class of annuitants it would af fect, is not denied ; and there certainly never was a period in which Government could have stood ' more clear of the imputation of advancing the price of stock, or lowering the interest ofmoney artificially, with a view to facilitate such a transac Lion, than at the present. All the measures of Government have indeed been of an opposite tendency. The introduction of a metallic in lieu of a paper currency, and the reduction of the Sinking Fund to an amount limited by the ex cess.of income over expenditure, both of which meesures have been accomplished within the year, may be triumphantly adduced in refutation of the preposterous charge, that Government has acted upon the dishononrable policy of enhancing artificially the price of the publiefunds with a view ya Any financial operation. Nor is the loud appeal ;which has inconsiderately been made to the geneiosity of Government upon this subject less irrational than the imputations which have been levelled against its integrity. Would it be generous on the part of a trustee to neglect to disencumber an estate, left in his charge, of a burdensome mortgage, when he had a fair and honest opportnnity of t edceming it by an easier one ? Would generosity either require or permit bins to prefer the convenience and advantage of the original mortgagees to the just interests of the proprietors of the estate for whose benefit his trust had been specially and exclusively created ? And if the facts were, that the parties interested in the estate, or any considerable pro portion of them, endured great privations and severe sufferings in consequence of the mortgage, and that the mortgagees were in a situation of comparative ease, comfort, and affluence, would these circumstances furnish any additional reason why he should generously sacrifice the fair and equitable interests of the former to the spurious pretensions or unfounded complaints of the lat ter ?. - -Morning Post. We are glad to perceive, from the provincial papers, that the country has been at length fairly roused to a sense of the enormous, oppressive, partial, and most impolitic, taxes which are levied on malt and beer, and that public meet ings are on the eve of being held in different counties, for the purpose of petitioning Parlia ment for their repeal, or at least partial modi fication of them. The Worcester Journal says—" Petitions to the House of Commons are at this time preparing in several towns and villages in this and the neighbouring counties, praying the repeal of the Malt and Beer Duties, the imposition of a well-regulated Tax upon Property, and also a Tax upon Absentees." A meeting is also to be held in the county of Lin coln, notwithstanding the refusal of the High Sheriff to call it, and we see by advertisements and. requisitions, that the counties adjoining the metro polis are determined not to be behind in thegood work. This is as it should be; and if the countg wil only lift up its voice unanimously, the result cannot be doubted—a result to be so greatly desired by every class in the community, that it is a matter of utter astonishment to us that any one should have ever thought either of propos ing, or of procuring the consent of the Legisla ture to the taxes of which we complain. They are, of all taxes, the most injurious and oppres sive—injurious to the land-owner and farmer, and hop-grower, by diminishing the consump tion of barley and hops, and lowering, in con sequence, the value of land—injurious to the brewer and the victualler, by lessening the con sumption of malt liquor, and diminishing the amount of profit which each might fairly make in their business—and, finally, not only most injurious to the public, by depriving it of the most healthful and invigorating beverage, but most oppressive also to the middling and lower classes, who are obliged, as we shelved on a former occasion, to pay a high price for whatever malt liquor they may consume, in order that the rich may drink it at a lower rate ! Such are the undeniable evils of the tax, and we trust that that part of the public which has not hitherto bestirred itself in the cause, will not be slow in making a proper application of them.— With regard to the imposition of other taxes in lieu of the malt and beer duties, the public, we think, need not be afraid that the Government will not readily discover some new source to supply the deficiency,—at least, we never yet knew a Chancellor of the Exchequer who was at a loss on that head ; and the public may, in consequence, we think, very safely entrust him with the reimbursement of the Exchequer. In the mean time, however, we may observe, that it appears a most gross anomaly in fiscal legislation, that a great number of persons should draw their incomes from the country, and yet contrive, by living out of it, to evade that remuneration for the protection of their property which is exacted from all others. To be sure there is a certain knot—a very stnall one, however—of political economists, who tell us that it is a matter of no consequence whether a man resides at Brussels, or Paris, or St. Petersburgh, in so far as the consumption of our national produce is concern ed ; for that the money which lie gives to the French farmer for his flour, and the Brussels lace-maker for his lace, will be returned to the London exporter in lieu of other commodities ; but while we admit the general truth of the doc trine from which this inference is drawn, we must protest against its application in this way, and. express our preference in this instance of the common proverb, " that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Only a second-rate be nefit, at most, flows in this way to the country from the expenditure of its subjects abroad—the first, and by far the largest, portion, goes into the pocket of the foreigner; and the Govern. ment would therefore do well, we think, to try what effect a tax might have in recalling the ab sentees, instead of permitting the country to be defrauded by them, and only benefitted in,_the second-hand way alluded to. If the British Government security be still the best, there is no great fear of their withdrawing their property from its care.—Morning Advertiser. COMMISSIOA OF LUNACY. (Continued from our Paper of yesterday.) Mr. Henry Hulbert, examined by Mr. WRIGHT— I am a tea-broker; I have known Mr. Davies for six or seven years. I was at a tea-sale on the sth of June; he was there. I called on him next day respecting a contract I had made:for him. He seemed much excited. He said he had been grossly insulted the day before, by a tea-broker, nearly connected with our house. On another day of the sale he stated to me, that he was grossly insulted by an other tea-dealer. He named Mr. Delufosse. From what I observed on the days I speak of, I thought he was not of his mind, and not fit to conduct his business. Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—I generally saw Mr. Davies some days previous to the tea-side, for about 20 minutes. I had not that intimacy with him that he should consult me in his private affairs. The tea-sale is n crowded room. Sometimes about 100 persons present. There is a great deal of noise, confusion, and many jibes are going on. I cannot say Mr. Davies was not insulted on that day ; but I did not see or hear of it. But I should think it unlikely. R. Gibbs, examined by Sir C. WETIIERELL—I am a tea-broker. I have known Mr. Davies about six years. I hare done business for him during that time. First a little, and then a great deal. 1 have the largest share of his business. I considered him to be a man of much skill in his business. This extends to the whole of the time, up to the 18th of April last. He came to me on that day, but his manner was much changed. frequently repeated oaths. Said he had a call. Said "By God," " God Almighty," and words to that effect. Ile said he was beset by villains, who would take away his life, if the laws of the i country did not prevent them. He spoke of puppies of stock-brokers and vil lains who were conspiring against him, who passed his door, puppies smoking cigars; and he decribed their dress. lie said he felt himself inspired, and was a new creature—that it was the work of God; he threw out his hands, and said he could feel it at the tips of his fingers. He did not use the words " new creature" or " inspired." Those are my inference, but he said that lie had a call. I never heard him use such words before. I have been in the habit of taking tea with him eight or ten times in the year. I saw him on such occasions about ten times at least in the last year. His purchase at the June sales amounted to about 15,0001. This would be payable about three months from that date. I went to Crouch-hill to see him on the 4th of Au gust. He told me that he had seen a vision the night before, \Odell had given him great pleasure, arid he had not vet lost sight of it. It was a vision from Heaven, which told him that his troubles were over, arid that henceforward he should enjoy riches l and happiness. He then proposed that th er e should `be a consultation of six eminent lawyers and six physicians, and he named Mr. Garrett, the barris ter, and Drs. Cobb and English, and the others were to be named by Mrs. Bywater and myself. There was to be a consultation between them as to his state of mind. The four physicians I hare named went down to see him on the sth of August. I was present when they were with him. He spoke to Dr. Frampton. and said that it was the sale of " presents" (tea) which had caused his excitement. He was up, very early that morning, and had written several papers (which were here produced) to show that he was capable of writing. The doctors did not, in his presence, declare him of unsound mind. My opinion was, that be was not then of sound mind. I never saw him wrong in the management of his business. I do believe he might have ma naged his business then. I went down to Crouch hill on the Bth of August. I saw Mr. Davies. He was then in a state of considerable excitement, but spoke in a whisper. He frequently went to the door to see if it was fast. He fastened it. He then said, " My mother is a base villain, and if I saw her at that window, with a razor in her hand cut ting her throat, I would say, thank God—thank God--thank God ;" and he laid great emphasis on the last word. (Witness here identified some papers us the hand-writing of Mr. Davies. Two of those were read. They were dated " Crouch-hill, August 6, 1829.°) Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUO—I always found Mr. Davies extremely attentive and skilful in the management of the business. The tea sale is a scene of great confusion and noise, that has not its parallel in London. 1 believe Mr. Davies was in sulted once or twice at the tea sale, and imagined that many things were intended offensively fur him which were not so meant. At the June sale Mr. Davies gave his orders as clearly and sensibly as be fore. When I saw Mr. Davies at Crouch-end there were two persons belonging to Dr. Burrows in the house, and he knew that it was by the direction of his mother. He was much irritated at that fact. The story about the vision made a strong impression on my mind. I mentioned it that evening to his friends, for I took it down in writing when I left the room. I have made two affidavits in this case. One a fortnight after the other, and I did not men tion a word of the vision in either of them. An other question was put to witness, as to whether Dr. Mackinnon, who is married to Mrs. Bywater's niece, did not say to that lady, that her son was no more mad than he (Dr. Mackinnon) was, and that it was a shame to keep bins under restraint. Sir C. WETHERELL objected to the question. What was said to Mrs. Bywater was, he contended, no evidence in the case. I► being now five o'clock, the Court adjourned till tomorrow. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 15. BEESTON V. FORD. In this case, which was left unfinished when we went to press yesterday, the LORD CHANCELLOR in timated that he would give his decision in the course of a few days. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dec. I& PAIN V. BIRD AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff in this case was an attorney. The action was brought against Messrs. Bird and Has lop, who had been clients of his, to recover a sum of 201. for money lent to them in April last. The Jury found a verdict for the amount claimed— viz. 201. ROCIIARD V. AUGER. Mr. PLATT stated that the plaintiff, Mr. Rochard was u miniature-painter in Regent-street. In March last he was employed by the defendant, Madame Auger, a French lady. to paint a miniature of her self. The miniature was completed, approved of, and paid for. The likeness was so good, that some friend of Madame Auger fell in love with the por trait, and got it from her; but she procured it again on a promise that she would get a copy of it and send to her friend. She accordingly took it to the plaintiff, and requested him to make two copies, one in an oval form for a locket, and the other a square to hang up. The plaintiff began to paint the copies, but wishing that Madame Auger should give him another sitting before he finished them, he made an appointment to see her. It happened, un fortunately, that he had made an appointment with another lady—a lady of title, for the same hour ; and when Madame Auger came, the former lady, with a friend of her's, was with him. As soon as Madame Auger's name was announced, the plaie t;ff ran down stairs, and regretting that he had forgotten the appointment with the lady who was then with him, requested that she would not take the trouble to get out of her carriage, and begged the favour of her to call again in the course of an hour. Madame Auger was, however, exces sively angry : she seemed to think that the other lady ought not to have precedence of her, and that if she (Madame Auger) had been a Countess, the plaintiff would not have thus disappointed her. She then went off in a buff, and the plaintiff saw no more of her. He afterwards finished the copies, and sent them home in October, with a note to Madame Auger in these words—" Mr. Rochard has the honour to present his compliments to Madame Auger, and has the pleasure to forward to her the two miniatures ordered in May last, which are as follows :—The square miniature, 15 guineas ; frame, U. 165.; oval, 10 guineas; making together 281. Is." This note, with the copies of the portrait, was delivered at Madame Auger's house. The messenger was desired to wait while Madame Auger wrote an answer, and then the footman brought down a note addressed to the plaintiff in these words—" When Mr. Rochard will send Madame Auger her likeness, Madame Auger will receive it; but as the portraits sent do not resemble her any more than himself, she begs him to keep them. She has, besides, had her portrait painted in Paris, after the impertinence which she received from Mr. Ro chard."

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEC. 15. George Campbell, who represented himself us a coal-merchant and money broker, was opposed by Messrs. IIEATti and COOKE, on the part of a credi tor named Alexander Graham. From the state ment of the insolvent it appeared that he had been formerly a servant in the family of Lady Cam brasil, who died in 1813, since which period he had been a coal-merchant and money-broker,—best, in Villiers-street, Strand, and afterwards in Half- Moon-street, Piccadilly. As a money-broker he was employed in raising money for other people, for which he received a premium. The amount of his debts was 9,533/., of which 3,300/. consisted of sums for which he had not received any con sideration. In July last lie assigned over to his principal creditors, Messrs. Dalgleish and Taylor, coal-merchants, all his household furniture, the lease of his house in Half Moon-street, I,BOQI. of good book debts, as a security for the sum of 3,4001. which the insolvent owed them for coals, and gave them also a warrant of attorney.

Indepen dent of the assignment of the furniture and lease, the insolvent had also placed in the hands of Messrs. Dalgleish and Taylor various securities, bonds be- longing to different persons, and bills of exchange. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said that the case must stand over at present for the insolvent to fur nish a list of the debts he assigned to Messrs. Dalg leish and Taylor, for without that list it would be impossible that an assignee could recover the amount of them : it was a clear case of preference to a particular creditor, to the exclusion of all the others.

VATURE is a mysterious treasury. It 1- pos sesses innumerable blessings for human kind, and produces an antidote for every disorder incident to the human frame.—This treasury, with all its invaluable richies is the proper study of Medical Science ; and it requires the most laborious research to discover and develops all its various mysteries. For twenty years has our successful experience been directed to the treatment of a certain class of diseases, and we pledge ourselves to t e removal of Syphilis, from its in cipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterised by every doubt and whatever malignancy. The intricate and much-neglected diseases of Urethra have been carefully and studiously considered, and have also those delicate and important sympathies which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of virility have been especially noticed, whether as arising from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmos phere—the natural bias of constitution—the imprudence of gaity—or the more slimming results of a propensity to practices " which shun the light ;" the progress of which is marked by gradual dereliction of the animal powers. To all who are thus circumstanced, and more especially to suc h as ar e aspirants for connubial pleasures, we earnestly recommend our Commentaries, Ist, the ".2Egis of Life," for the one Sex ; or, 24, " Hygeiana," exclusively ad dressed to Females ; the perusal of which must prove bene ficial to their moral happiness.

IN consequence of the intense excitation caused throughout the Metropolis among those Merchants and Tradesmen who disapprove of, and oppose with scurrility and misrepresentations, the beneficial system of trade which Messrs. WAGNER and CHAPMAN have felt a pride in adopting, hoping thereby, in a great measure, to subvert the baneful effects of the " injurious and demoralizing" practices which have been so notoriously prevalent for a series of years in every branch of the trade and manufac tures of the United Kingdom, as to be, most lamentably, an actual degradation to the cornmerm of Great Britain and Ireland, they deem it indispensably neceesary to con tinue to circulate Advertisements containing a list of their numerous sad excellent bargains, which only require in spection to insure considerable purchases from those to whom economy is the paramount consideration. WAGNER and CHAPMAN further most respectfully beg leave to assure those of the Nobility and Gentry who have not yet honoured the " EMPORIUM" with a visit, that though they publish a correct list, 80 extraordinarily cheap, yet their immense assortment of Silks, Linens, Woollens, Cottons, Haberdashery, Hosiery, Gloves, Lace, tte., com prises not only the moat magnificent and costly, as well as the low-priced, but also Foreign as well as British manu factures; a very great proportion of which they are enabled to RETAIL at the WHOLESALE and MANUFAC TURERS' PRICES, for ready money ; and they, more ever, eontinue to sell, at a vast reduction, the remainder of the large and sumptuous Stock of Jenner and Soppet, Bankrupts, of which they were the exclusive purchasers.

Yesterday morning, pursuant to public notice, a Meeting of Vestrymen of St. Luke's Parish took place in the Parish Church, for the purpose of re ceiving a Report from the Trustees relative to the legal proceedings adopted by them for the recovery of the amount due to the parish on account of the defalcations in the account:, and to atlopt such pro ceedings thereon as may be deemed expedient. Also, to take into consideration the amount of the debts owing by the Trustee Board, and the state of the Lighting and Watching, and general Police of the Parish. At ten o'clock Mr. CHIPPENDALE, Senior Church win den, took the Chair. Mr. WALL, the Vestry Clerk, read the Report of the Trustee Board, 's hich was very voluminous, and detailed the state of the affairs of the parish, so far as they are engaged in litigation with their late Vestry Clerk, Mr. Milks, and of the manner in which that suit at present stands, as well as their repeated offers of arbitration to Mr. Milks before any legal proceed ings were commenced. It also stated the nature of an application to the Lord Chancellor for leave to prove a debt under the bankruptcy of Guyett, one of the securities of Lee, the Collector, who had ab sconded, minus about 8001., as well as the state of legal proceedings against Mrs. Lodgecombe, another security for the same defaulter, and against whom a verdict of 800/. Was found. Mr. StstrsoN, the Law Agent for the parish, pointed out the situation in which the parishioners were involved in litigation; that a .petition to the Lord Chancellor bad to be followed up; and they had also to support the verdict against Mr. Willis for 8001. Mr. CALDWELL said that he would recommend great caution before they would hastily bring them selves into further litigation ; and he therefore re commended an arbitration whenever it could be effected, and it was for these reasons that he origi nally recommended 1,000/. to be accepted of from Mr. Wilks. He lamented the alarming increase of the rate, and dreaded the possibility of collecting it. An animated discussion followed, iu which Mr. Reilly, Mr. Simpson, and the Chairman took a part, when it was unanimously agreed that the Report be received, and that.the conduct of the Trustee Board are hailed to the confidence of the Vestrymen. Mr. RICHMOND then stated, that the next subject for the consideration of the Vestry was the situation of their financial affairs, and which he considered, if not greatly embarrassed, at least much complicated. It appeared that since the passing of the Act in 1810, the Board borrowed upon annuities 18,9001. The plan he would propose in the shape of a sink ing fund, for the liquidation of the whole parochial debt, would be, that upon the fall of each annuitant, the amount to be lodged in a fund until it should amount to 7,500/. per annum—from that period, in twenty years, the entire of the debt would be dis• charged. This Resolution was carded unanimously, after which the Meeting separated. SUPPLY OF WATER TO THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. A few days ago a requisition, signed by several very respectable inhabitant householders of the Bo rough, was presented to the High Bailiff, requesting him to call a public'meeting, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of the supply of water to that part of the metropolis, and also to re ceive a " report" or " reports" as to the best mode of procuring a supply of pure and wholesome water. In consequence of this requisition, the High Bailiff called a public meeting, and fixed yesterday for its assernliling at the Town-hall. One o'clock had been named for taking the chair, but up to within a few minutes of that hour the number of persons present did not indicate that any great interest was felt on the subject - by the great mass of the inhabitants; for, out of a population said to exceed 200,000 souls, there were not more than about .50 present at the hour of meeting. In the course of about an hour this number had increased to about 100 or 120. Among the gentlemen who accompanied the High Bailiff into the hall, were Sir Robert Wilson, one of the members for the borough, and one of his sons. The HIGH BAILIFF said that he had received seve ral letters and reports from various individuals on the subject for which they had been called together, and if it should be the wish of the meeting, he would have them read seriatim. One of the reports was from Mr. James Easton, civil engineer. Mr. B. SHAW moved that Mr. Easton's report be read ; and this motion having been seconded and carried, the report was read. It proposed the writer's plan for a supply of pure water, which might, it was said, be easily obtained from the river Wandle, in sufficient quantity to give a full supply to 40,000 out of 52,000 houses of the Borough. Taking the supply of each house at an average of 80 gallons per day, the quantity required for 40,000 houses would be 3,200,000 gallons, which was not more than half what the Candle supplied in 24. hours. The plan by which he proposed to make this available was, by making a canal front the Wandle to Nine Elms, a little above Vauxhall bridge. The whole expense 'of the sewers, drains, bridges, and culverts necessary, he estimated at 2.3,858/. 2s.

That the bestowing or withholding of civil immunities for religion's and conscience sake, is at once an insult to God, and an injury to man.— It is a confounding of things which essentially differ, and an invasion of the divine prerogative. " Consciences and souls were made to be the Lord's alone !" Therefore, " render to Cxsar, &c." Worthy of recollection is the spirit of the Mosaic Institutions,—and the Roman Laws for religion in the days of the New Testament. 3. That the object of cognizance by human legislation, is action only—character and not con science.—Heaven has ordained " Thus far shalt thou go and no farther." For the want of recognizing this obvious and equitable distinc tion, persecution has been the common crime of every dominant party; and, in the times of ig norance, " hypocrites and martyrs wee the order of the day." Free as the light of day, should be the mind—the conscience of man 4. That the distinction between liberty politi cal and religiothi, should be carefully and uni formly maintained.—By non-conformists, this is, in general, most correctly observed ; and yet some of them have been occasionally inconsistent with their own principles, especially when they have gone over to the ranks of the anti-Catholics. Liberty of both kinds existed in this country, under the Catholic Alfred : but of neither kind under the Protestant Charles I. The mere cha racter of a state religion does neither secure liberty nor entail slavery. 5. That the existence of Ecclesiastical esta blishments, is both anti-Christian and impolitic. —Who does not know the Saviour's declaration, "My kingdom is not of this world.' What an' insult and mockery to our holy religion is the in terference, and especially the endowment of a se cular power, as if its own intrinsic worth would not :secure abundant support ? Besides, what jealousies of party, and sycophancy of the favour ed, are hereby produced ! Not to mention also, what a fruitful source it is of infidelity and indif ference throughout the world'? It appears, moreover, on reviewing the pro gress of this question : 6. That the frienda of Catholic or universal emancipation, have almost uniformly acted Ott the defensive.—They have had to rebut a variety olcharges—childish talcs, and old wives' fables;"' but why not allege against their opponents, the very spirit and clime of persecution, evhich they are fond of charging against others ! 7.• That the leading characters of anti-Catholic opponents and Authors have been beneficed and interested clergymen.—ls it any marvel, then, that the " hue and cry" should be excited ? Especially when it is remembered, whose " liv ings " those once were, and that the same au thority which legalised the plunders of the " Re dbrmation," might, perchance, transfer to the ori ginal proprietors and donors. On this theme, Independents can speak freely, as becomes Eng lishmen ! S. That the supposition of Scripture pro phecy, either of the New or Old Testament, c c . ferring to Popery, as vulgarly called, is decidedly and altogether without foundation.—lt would not he difficult to prove that the " man of sin," " antichrist," and the "boast of the Revela tions, simply and exclusively regarded certain characters in the contemporaneous history of the apostles, and that their appropriation to the Ca tholic church originated in sheer prejudice, and is consequently, now the ;here vulgar slang of religious bigots, and is deservedly branded with slander in them that wilfully thus pervert the language of Scripture. Let any reader pes ruse the commentaries of Lightfoot, Nifsb e ti, Grotius, and Whitby, to be satisfied, 9. That the same diversity of moral disposi tion and political sentiment, may be found among Catholics as well as Protestants.—Assuredly we' are " men oflike passions ;" nor can there be a per fect uniformity of opinion on aly class of sub jects, with either party. 10. That the emancipation of the Whites and Blacks, has usually associated the same class of promoters and opponents.—There may, perhaps, be some exceptions ; but generally speaking, the interested abettors of selfishness and oppression, and the disinterestedness of universal liberty and justice, have produced the majorities and mino rities, on these two great questions. 11. That histories, British an Foreign, are without an exception, tinged with the colourings of party feelings and prejudice.—Hence, every Englishman ought to read the Catholic, as well as Protestant histories of his country. But is there not, among Protestants in general, and the anti-Catholic ones in particular, a very shameful ignorance of Catholic writings? " Doth our law judge any man before it hear him !" 12. That the Roman Catholics of this country seem destined by Provideuce, for effectuating the liberties of all religious parties. The public agi tation of this question has been rendered most beneficial ; to them we are greatly indebted for the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts, they are the staunch friends of universal rights ; and they are well entitled to the grateful and hearty co-operation of every non-conformist and Englishman ; and finally, if you will allow " thirteen to the dozen," let me say, 1.3. That the members of the endowed sect in England and Ireland, have commonly been the last in every benevolent exertion.---Look at our Missionary, Education, Tract ; and other So 7 cieties, and see them preceded by the Non cons. on every occasion of national philanthropy and public good Wherefore these things Let every Briton and Christian reflect and decide .for himself At present, adieu, and for every success to the World.

SUPPLY OF CORN. (From the Morning Chro:licle ) Against the principle, that the industry of a people ought not to he employed in the produc tion of that which they can obtain in exchange for a less quantity oflabour, employed in the production of other commodities, various arguments have been urged in.the case of Corn. One argument confidently used for a long time was, that, with respect to the all-important article of food, no nation ought to he dependent for any part of its supply on others, and that, therefore, a wise nation ought to sacrifice something for the sake of security. But this argument was met by another, that the supply of food, from the variableness of seasons, would at One time be so much above the demand as to glut the markets, and at another so much below the demand as to expose the poor to much suffering ; and that the best way to ensure a regularity of supply, would be to extend the range whence the supply should be derived. Thus, for instance, before our land and water c ommunications were so perfect as they now are, in one part of the country corn would be scarce and dear, while in another it was abundant and cheap, whereas now corn varies little in price throughout the United Kingdom. But it sometimes happens that the crop is deficient throughout a whole country. It never, however, happens, that in all countries there is a deficiency ; and if we consider the capabilities of America and Europe, and the facilities of conveyance which we possess, we may be assured that the equalization of supply will always be best secured by freedom of trade. In an article in the Quarterly Review, in March last, an endeavour was made to show that the idea of obtaining supplies from abroad in case of deficiencies at home was an illusion, as where there was a scarcity in one country there was almost always a scarcity in all. "It thus appears," says the writer, " that in nine instances nut of ten, the character of the seasons is, throughout the greater part of Europe, very nearly uniform ; and we take it to be the in evitable consequence that the habitual importa tion of foreign corn, instead of tending to render prices steady in the importing country, would inevitably increase the extremes of the scale on which prices now range and vary." The Reviewer, in a note, supports his views by a quotation from Mr. Lowe—" The public (says Mr. Lowe), particularly the untravelled part of the public, are hardly aware of the similarity of temperature prevailing throughout what may be called the corn country of Europe—we Mean Great Britain, Ireland, the north of France, the Netherlands, Denmark, the north-west of Ger many, and in some measure Poland, and the north-east of Germans'. All this tract is situated between the 45th and 55th degrees of latitude, and subject, in a considerable degree, to the pre valence of similar winds. Neither the supera bundance of raiM, which we experience in one Eummer, nor its deficiency in another, are by any means confined to Great Britain and Ireland ; while in winter, both the intensity and duration of frost are always greater on the Continent." One of the hest arguments against this doc trine is to be found in the fact, that at this mo ment England is receiving large supplies from Spain, among other countries. We have before us a letter to an eminent merchant in London, from his Correspondents at Malaga, dated 17th December, in which they write : " The arrivals of wheat by land are about 600 quarters per day, but not sufficient for the demands for Va lencia, Catalonia, France, and Italy, as well as for England. Six or eight cargoes are ready to leave for the latter country." In another letter, dated Vittoria, 28th December, it is said : Orders given just now could not be executed ; that is, brought to Bilboa and Santander, and cleared before the Ist or perhaps 10th of Feb. The Government, so far from prohibiting, would push the exportation to the greatest possible length, in order to rid the farmers of the surplus of wheat, which has been accumulating in the interior the last five years. I mentioned in one of my letters, that the = Campos of Castile' alone were estimated to furnish six millions of fanegas, or one million two hundred thousand quarters ; and that without rising the price above twenty. oae or twenty-two reals per fanega. This is, in fact, the price, varying according to quality, from 18 to 23 ; and notwithstanding the extraordinary demand, the holders have not been able to get it raised higher. This leaves all the country around Burgos, Brivesca, &c. &c. untouched, and it is from these points that Bilboa ;rag drawn the greatest part of its .tipplies. . . . . • At Truxillo wheat is still at 14s. per quarter, and at Salamanca from 14s. to 16a." Thus, without going out of Europe, we find the possibility of supplies not opposed by iden tity of seasons. " Spain, it is said, has enough of wheat in the interior for four or five Years' consumption." (This, however, seems to be an exaggeration.) The difficulty proceeds from another cause—the defective roads and convey ances. For instance, it 12 stated that " the transport from the interior is so difficult from the want of carts, that the highest estimate I have seen of the quantity which can be delivered in the whole ports of the North of Spain, in twelve months, does not reach 800,000 quarters, and that is probably exaggerated." The effect of the demand, however, is to fa cilitate supply. A stimulus is given by a de mand like the present which rouses the natives, and ingenuity is tasked to overcome difficulties. A demand, on the other hand, is created for the productions of foreign industry. The agri cultural produce imported into England now may he paid for directly in money, but that money is obtained in exchange for the produce of British industry ; and if the foreign agricultu rist do not immediately purchase from us, he e7ablaaa others to increase their purchases from us . The good of commerce is, that it enriches all parties, the benefits b ein g reci p rocal. Corn, when beyond the domestic want, is of no value ; exported to anoth, 9 ' country, where it is wanted, it is of value ; the iroe or cottons exported to pay for it are more valuable in the countries re ceiving them than the corn. Would that Go vernments could leave things to find their level! On Tuesday morning, about seven o'clock, a desperate robbery was censmitted in the house 44 a widow lady, named Smith, who resides in the vicinity of Cazden Chapel, Peckham-road, in the following manner :—One of the female servants hearing a tap at the back door, and believing it to be a coachman living with a gentleman at the neat house, who is occasionally in the habit of fetch ing a light in a morning, inquired whether it was Charles or not—the coachman's name A voice immediately re plied "It is." She then opened the door, and an elderly man entered, saying, in a determined manner, "Money I want, end money I'll have." The servant, much alarmed, " I have none." The villain then drew a pistol f , Oll l his breast, and, presenting it, said, " Give me your money, or I will s hoot you." She p•ut hat hand into her pocket, and gave him ad she possessed, a sover , !;gr,i a nd six abilliags and sixpence with which be went oti. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS (From the Gazette de France, dated Jan. '7.) NAVARIN, DEc. 13.—( Private Letter.) —Our hospitals are not so full, and our coldiers now come out cured. The distribution of our little army in the four fortresses of Motion, Coron, Navarin, and Patras, has also contributed to improve the health of the soldiers. We are far from having found in them all the resources which in Europe the name of town seems to promise. We were obliged first of all to make some ruined houses more habitable, but how ever bad these habitations may be, we have found them very agreeable abodes, in comparison with the beach, where we were obliged to bivouac too long. This employment has given our soldiers an oppor tunity to display their address ; and, to form a just idea of it, yuu should see how, with a few hours' labour in taking advantage of a ruined wall and some bits of wood, our Frenchmen contrive to convert into a tclerable habitation the abode of a Greek ravaged by an Albanian. Our Ambassadors are at Poros, and the commu nications with them are very frequent. The Viclo rieuse corvette, which arrived in our road yesterday, will sail again to-night for Poros, with despatches for General Guilletninot. It is affii uled at head quarters that bases have been laid down for our eva cuation of the Morea on the Ist of April, v utinum ! Our position here is not tenable: we are of no use, and shall not be for a long time. To organize Greece! To civilize the Greeks ! Fine chimeras which may be realized in some hundred years ; but ought France alone to take this care upon itself ? Can she ? Will not her finances feel the effects ? These questions are decided in the judgment of all persons who have come to Greece, and I CAT] assure you that there is a unanimity of thoughts and expressions among the generals, the officers, the soldiers, and the civil ser vants of the army.

We have authority to state, that the Marquis of Anglesea's letter to Dr. Curtis, was published without the knowledge of that Prelate. It was entrusted, by him to some friend, not with a view to its publication, but that the important advice which it contains should be made known confidentially among the leading Catholics ; and thus, doubtless, from the best intentiom., but without any authority from him, it found its way into the public papers. _Dublin Evening Post.

The French Papers are particularly barren of news. The situatin of the French army in the Morea excites the attention of the Government and the sympathy of the people. A private letter from Navarin sneers at the idea of recog nizing Greece—or of civilizing the Greeks—and treats these things as fine chimeras which may be realisedin a hundred years. But the question is, will France persevere in the attempt ? and, if she felt the disposition—can she without her finances suffering ? We think not. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 2d instant, contains an article from Constantinople, which refers to an extract of a letter from Mr. STRAT FORD CANNING, written apparently for the pur pose of learning the private sentiments of the PORTE, [with respect to the restoration of the Greek State. But he did not get much by his motion. England is said to have consulted the interests of the PORTE, by opposing France in her desire to extend the boundaries of Greece to the Gulph of Arta and Volo, mill to have only agreed to include the Morea and the Cyclades in the new state. The REIS EFFENDI, with characteristic evasion, hinted that he was only the organ, not the soul of the Ottoman Ministry, but gave it as his own opinion that he could not but connect the restoration of Greece with the over throw of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, and as such that the Porte could not give its consent : CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. 28. We hear that an extract froth a letter of Mr. Stratford Canning to the Ambassador of the Ne therlands has been communicated to the Porte, in which Mr. Canning speaks of arrangements relative to the restoration of the Greek State. He affirms that the English Government has again defended the interests of the Porte, and opposed the desire of France to extend the boundaries to the Gulph of Arta and Volo, and has only agreed to include the Morea and the Cyclades in the limits of Greece, which has been provisionally assented to by the other two Powers. In order to prepare the Divan for the official communication which is soon to be made of this resolution, and at the same time to learn its opinion, Baron Von Zuylen made a - confidential communication of the letter he had received to the Reis Effendi, and requested his opinion on the subject. Though the Reis Effendi very politely expressed Lis acknow ledgments for the confidence of the Ambassador of the Netherlands, he is said to have given an evasive answer to the question, " What the Porte thought to do when the resolution of the Powers was com 1 1 - municated to it, and it would find itself under the necessity of either assenting to it or seeing Greece recognised without its consent." And he is said to have intimated that he (the Reis Effendi) was only the organ, not the soul of the Ottoman Ministry, and must hear his colleagues before he could form an opinion or give an answer. As for himself, he did not doubt the good intentions of the English Go vernment, nor would he cast any reproach on that of France, only he could not conceive the re-esta blishment of a Greek State in that form, as he had a very different notion of the Greek State, and could not but connect it with the overthrow of the Ottoman Empire in Europe. The seat of the Greek Sovereigns had net been in Napoli or Egina, but in Constantinople, and if the Porte had been indebted to its navy for the possession of that capital, it must expect to lose it through the increasing marine of the inhabitants of the Archi pelago. How then could its assent be required ? It should seem from this that the Reis Effendi is not disposed to recognise the Greeks, and that the Porte will reject every proposal to that effect, thought it must greatly desire an accommodation with England and France, and would make many sacrifices to see Messrs. Cant:;ng and Guilleminot return to Constantinople. The works for the defence of the capital are still carried on with great activity, and though no stranger is permitted to go near them, it may be seen from a distance on what a great scale they are executed. In general the measures of the Govern ment show that it is resolved to carry on the next campaign with energy, and that it has not been lulled asleep or frightened by what has hitherto taken place. The St. Petersburgh Journal, of the 23d December, contains the following : AMSTERDAM, JAN. 6. The Batavia journals contain long reports of skirmishes with the insurgents up to the end of August, in which, whenever they stood their ground, they were always defeated by our troops. EXCHANGE ON LONDON.—One month, 11 923. Two months, 11 85. ST. PETERSBURGII, DEC. 23. The Tiflis Gazette says,—" The incessant at . tacks of the Turks on the Russian detachment in the pachalick of - Naze, and the news that Emir Pay ha had received considerable reinforcements and some pieces of cannon, induced Major-General Prince Tchavtchavadze to quit his position in the village of Patios, and take up a new one between Toprak-kale and Diadine. On November 9, in the evening, he left Patnos, accompanied by 160 Ar menian families, who earnestly requested to be al lowed to follow our troops. As soon as the enemy heard of his departure, they occupied the village of Patnos, and burnt it. On the march the enemy made several attacks with superior force on the rear, but were constantly repulsed; and after a most fa tiguing march of two days, the detachment reached the village of Karaklis, between Toprak-kale and Diadine. In the attack on the 30th, when the ene my was 4,000 strong, he lost 200 men, and our loss in killed and wounded was 19. Thus by merely defensive operations, all the attempts of the Turks in the Pachalik of Bajazet, in the environs of Erze room, the centre of the principal force of Asiatic Turkey, have been defeated. The other provinces subdued by our arms enjoy perfect tranquillity, and the officers who are entrusted with the administra tion of them have gained the confidence of the in habitants. Every precaution has been taken to baffle the attempts of the enemy, aud the increas ing severity of the winter secures us for a long time against any important enterprises on the part of the Turks." The following are said to be the names of the deputation who arc to accompayty Mr. O'CoN NELL to take his seat in Parliament. We think that the Member for Clare would just do as well without them. If he can take his seat according to the established rules of the House, there is no need of such a body guard, however respectable— and if he cannot, it is folly to give his friends so much unnecessary trouble. We wish from our hearts that Mr. O'CONNELL could sit, but as the Jaw now stands we are afraid he cannot. The rules of the House arc as inexorable as Parson HoRNER Daniel O'C,:nnell, O'Gorman Mahon, Richard Sheil, Thos. Steele, Charles Fitzsimon, J. C. Brady, Richard O'Gorm in, John Redmond, Maurice O'Connell, Sir Thomas Esmonde, Richard Barrett, Patrick Murphy, William Forde, John Browne, Bartholomew Corb•Jlis, Lord Killeen, H. G. Curran, P.

The recall of the Marquis of ANGLESEA, the more it is considered, appears the more cal culated to throw a damp over all the sanguine anticipations we had begun to entertain of happi ness and peace to Ireland. It is too plain an ex planation of the views and intentions of Go vernment, and indicates a bias to the side of oppression which we cannot too deeply deplore. The Marquis of ANGLESEA has added to his other exploits, which were truly glorious on the field of battle, the far more glorious exploit of having conciliated the Irish by his moderate and just counsels. In his government he maintained a calm and steady course, neither deviating to the right nor to the left, amid the ferment of ex tremes still holding the centre point—fraternizing with no party, but using his power for the at tainment of even-handed justice, without regard to other objects. Now, what are the conclu sions which press upon the mind when we see such a ruler recalled—his administration branded with the stigma of ministerial disapprobation— and all because he has expressed a different sen timent from that contained in the Duke of WELLINGTON'S letter, in regard to the time merely for bringing forward the Catholic Ques tion ? For this small offence he is dismissed. It is thought sufficient to out-weigh all the mei it of his administration. He has conciliated the Irish people—he has maintained peace in the country— but he has ventured to express a difference on a minor point with the Duke of WELLINGTON, and for this the country is to be deprived of his eminent services, and Ireland is to be exasperated by what has the appearance, at least, 4)f a hostile measure. The great difficulties which the Duke of WELLINGTON points out as belonging to this measure are, we have long been convinced, purely imaginary. How quickly did the sup posed difficulties in the way of repealing the Test and Corporation Acts disappear when Ministers gave the word ? The difficulties, the part-strife, the dying agonies, and mental struggles of the Orange faction, are all oc• casioned by the uncertain and vacillating policy of Ministers. Let the Duke only de clare that he considers the repeal of Catholic disabilities essential to the peace of Ireland, and he would see at once into what an insignificant I compass the opposition to this great measure. would be instantly brought. The Orange party may clamour in their clubs, but they arc essen tially weak and contemptible, and once put them in the balance with the Irish people, and they will mount up with the lightness of a feather. They may grieve and be discontented that they can no longer oppress their fellow-subjects ; but they have no power—they can do nothing but utter groans of despair, as the halcyon sera of light and liberty dawns upon oppressed Ireland. This faction derives all their consequence from the patronage of Government. Let '.flat only be once withdrawn—let Government declare openly for freedom and fair policy—let the axe be only laid to the root of oppression—And the tree will fall lifeless on the ground, and never more bear its deadly fruit. The party strife is solely caused by the delay in the settlement of Ireland. All the factious clamour arises from the uncertain and secret counsels of Ministers. Give the Irish people their just claims, and from one end of the land to the other will be heard the voice of gladness and content. The few may grieve fer the loss of abused power ; but the many will re joice. The gloomy discord of the Orange Lodges will be drowned in the general chorus of national harmony. Before the Ministers of the country, with the Irish p eop l e ( a fi rm phalanx) for their support, and with justice, freedom, and policy on their side, all factions will shrink into their native insignificance, and hide their diminished heads. The course is, therefore, plain—the cuurse of tranquillity and peace ; which we hope Ministers, though rather erring occasionally and slow in their movements, will still follow in the end. New York Papers have been received to the 7th ult. We s;iall give extracts to-morrow. Montreal Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 11th ult. On the 6th of that month a meeting of the inhabitants was held in the Court-house, to take into consideration the propriety of peti tioning the three branches of the Legislature for an Act of Incorporation of that City. After some discussion, in which the Chairman, C. MOFFAT, Esq., P. M'GILL, MOUDELOT, Dr. NELSON, and 11. GALE, Esq. took part, a Committee was appointed to obtain signatures to the three petitions, and the resolution having been read, and the thanks of the meeting voted to their Chairman, the meeting adjourned. We understand from an authentic source, that the Legislature of Upper Canada will be sum moned for the dispatch of business on the Bth January. By the Papers of that Province we observe that several Addresses have been pre sented to his Excellency Sir JOHN COLBORNE, on his assumption of the reins of Government. Boston Papers of the 12th ult., Baltimore of the 13th, and Charleston of the 6th, have also come to hand. The Boston Paper of the 9th •ay, that the intelligence from Port-au-Prince announces that the Haytian Government have laid an export duty of 12 dollars per 1,000 feet on mahogany. Quebec Papers of the iith ult. have also been received at the same establishment. Under the date of the 6th, it appears that the Legislature were now actively employed and proceeding in the business before it. It is said in Washington that Mr. TAZEWELL is to be the new Secretary of State, and Mr. CHEVES, Secretary of the Treasury. It is also rumoured that Mr. VAN BUERON is to go to the Court of St. James's. We shall give the examination of Messrs. REMINGTON and Co. this day in a Second Edition.

FOREIGN SUGARS.—Notwithstanding the late ar rivals of Brazil Sugars, there are no sales reported either public or private, consequently the quotations of these descriptions remain uncertain. REFINED Suoans.--There has been some consi derable business done this week principally for Crushing, and purchases to-day could not be made on such easy terms as last week, although in the quotations scarcely any alterations can be made : in the Grocery descriptions there has been rather more done, and prices are fully maintained. PLANTATION St:GARs.-.--The demand this week has considerably improved, particularly for the Grocery descriptions, in which quality at the present moment the chief of the business is doing; in prices there is scarcely any variation, as the merchants continue very firm in their demands, especially for the better sorts : the Refiners, owing to the present dull state of their trade, are not purchasing very freely, but as the quantity of strong refining qualities brought to market is still very small, and barely ade quate even to the present small demand, the Irn porters obtain rather higher prices. Delivered last week from the West India Docks, %5293 hhdd., and 166 trs. Stock on hand in the West India Docks (on sth inst.), 33,687 hhde., and 2,907 tre.

Stock on band in the West India Docks (on Jan. 7th, .1826) 12,006 casks; $4,665 bags, &c. FRUIT.—The demand, although slowly, appears rather to have improved since the holidays; of Red Smyrna Raisins rather a large parcel was sold last week at 425., but some of the importers will not sell at that price at present ; of new Cephalonia and Zante Currants a parcel has been divided among the trade at 875.; for new Turkey Figs of line quality there is some inquiry; several parcels of new Jordan Almonds have been sold. at 9/., and there are still buyers at that price : in other descriptions there is scarcely any thing to notice. SALTPETRE.--The market for Saltpetre is not so brisk as it was, and sales cannot be made higher than 246. 6d. per cwt. The East India Company have just declared 400 tons for sale, on the 10th of February; not being so large a quantity by 100 tons as for several previous sales. The Company's declarations for Sugar and Coffee for the 28th inst. have been increased. The former by 6,234 bags, and the latter by 700 bags. Rice.—The large arrivals of foreign Grain have rendered Rice flat. About 298 barrels of Carolina, by auction, were bought in from 295. 6d. to 355. On the 28th January the East India Company will offer for sale 2,391 bags of East India Rice. HoPs.---There is a great demand for fine pockets. The market prices are East Kent Pockets 5/. 12s. to 71. Ditto Bags, five to six guineas. Mid-Kent Pockets 100 s. to 1265. Ditto Bags, 90s. to 115 s. Sussex Pockets, 80s. to 88s. per cwt. INDIGo.—The comparative stock last week, as compared with the corresponding week tA last quar ter, spews an increase of 7,910 chests. The stock of sold and unsold, in the beginning of January last last year was 22,160 chests. On the Ist instant the stock was 30,000 chests. Business is doing at an advance of 4d. on the last sale prices. In COTTON there is more doing ; Surats obtain full prices, good Egyptians fetch Bd.; Smyrnas, 7d.; fair Pernambuco, lid. to Bd. per lb. BALTIC PRODUCL.—TaIIow is firm at 395. 9d. Bristles heavy. SPICES in general are dall—Pimento has rather given way. Rum.—There is but little demand for Rum. Lee ward proofs barely fetch 2s. 4d. per gallon. THE TEA TRADE,—The Company's declaration for the next sale has this morning been issued, and in the whole amounts to eight millions of pounds, being the same quantity as declared last sale. Of Bohea, there are to be offered 1,000,000 lbs. ; of Congou, Campoi, Pekoe, and Souchong, 5,400,00(1 lbs.; of Twankay and Hysoit Skin 1,225 ; 000 lbs.; and of Hyson, 275,000 lbs.

There have bei-n some 'vet) ,:ispiriong of late that the invesrigarion ot• these be further proseet ; and, from the ekeu•ns!anoe of 31`Dougal and Consroznine Borke anti His wife having left this city fur the West Ceumfy on Wed nesday morning lost, we are inclined to believe that such at one time was the Lord Advocate's deter mination. We hopper. to know that a certain public functionary, (not the Lord Advocate, whose zeal in forwarding the late trial is beyond all praise,) re marked the other day that they were perfectly sick of the business, and were resolved to stir no farther in it, lest it should bring shame upon the city ! If this gentleman's sensibility is such as to dispose him to throw a shield over crimes of the deepest die, all we shall say is, that he is totally unfit for his situa tion. If, by limiting the inflicticn of punishment to one of the murderers, others shall be encouraged to repeat crimes of the same kind, then, according to the views entertained by this gentleman, still greater disgrace will attach to the city ; and then, according to his precious logic, so much greater will be the propriety of taking no notice of them. In the pre sent excited state of the public mind no Lord Ad vocate will dare to say. " Thus far—(to the death of Burke) —shall the tide of public vengeance flow, and no farther." With regard to Dr. Knox too much delicacy and reserve have been maintained by a part of the press. When the atrocities in question first transpired, it was stated that Knox conducted himself with the utmost civility towards the police officers, who went to his house in search of the body, when the fact is, he swore at them from his window, and threatened to blow their brains out; and it was only upon their proceeding to force the door of his lec ture-room, that it was opened by one of the keepers. Great pains, too, have been taken to persuade the public that the Doctor was imposed upon by Burke and Hare with regard to the mode in which they acquired their subjects ; but mark how a few queries will put down that supposition Were not bodies—one of them of a girl, with her hair en papillote—both warm and supple, repeatedly received into his lecture-room ? Did not Burke and Hare exclusively deal with Dr. Knox; and must not all their subjects have ex hibited nearly the same symptoms—which symp toms, in the case of the woman Docheity, at once satisfied other medical men that she had been vio- lently bereaved of life ? And why did not the constant reeurrence of these symptoms, as well as the symptoms thernselveF , , rouse Dr. Knox's suspi cions ? Has not the Doctor acknowledged that he has re peatedly bought bodies which had never been in terred, alleging (and we believe partly with truth) that they had been disposed of by relations ? And did not his doing so encourage among the lower orders a most barbarous, unnatural, and demoralizing practice? There are certain atrocious particulars connected with the murder of the woman Docherty, which are very susceptible of proof. A person in Dr. Knox's employment actually ofcred her for sale to a re spectable gentleman of the profession before she was despatched; he saw her in Burke's house imme diately after the spark of life had been extinguish ed ; and he then again offered her for 15/. to the same gentleman, who indignantly ordered hith out of his house. If neither Dr. Knox'nor his man can be consider ed as any way accessory to any of the murders (and we hope it may be so) there cannot be the least doubt that both may be indicted for the misdemean our of purchasing bodies under the circumstances we have described ; by which process the public may be relieved of those terrors which their presence in this city so naturally inspires. While the question as to the policy of winking at occasional exhuma tions remains unsettled, we have no desire to have the law strictly enforced against those who purchase subjects which have been come at in the ordinary manner; but all the circumstances of this case are fraught with a peculiar criminality, which requires must exemplary punishment. . .

BOROUGH OF conse quence of the flight of Mr. Stephenson, one of the Repre sent Itives of this Borough, Mr. Bish has again offered his services to the Electors. A friend of the latter gentleman visited the Borough last week, and was very cordially re ceived.— Worcepter Journal. At the Catholic Association held on Tuesday last, Mr. O'Connell, after expressing, in animated terms, his regret at the recall of the Marquis of Anglesea, which he very properly designated "a Rational calamity," moved that - all the parishes in Dublin should meet on Sunday next, in the Plicenix Park, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against his recall. He also suggested that meet ings for the same purpose should be held in every part of Ireland. The article in Blackwood's Magazine, on the policy of abolishing the Vice Regal Government in Ireland, is, we suppose, intended as a mere feeler. We hope that the people of Dublin will louk to it in time ; the thing we believe is in contemplation, and they ought to bestir themselves ere it lie too late. Dublin is bad enough, but that would reduce it to complete beggary. Dublin Morning Post. There is now living at Lynn, a Mr. Flenry Regester, formes ly a considerable wholesale tailor and draper in that tuwn, who, since he was seventy-four years of age, has cut six teeth ! He has been blind four and twenty years, and though now in his eightieth year, has lately cut out and made himself a complete suit of clothes, without any assistance whatever.—Stamford Mercury. On the 27th ult., a slomp, about 40 tons, was seen off Holyhead, with loss of bowsprit, nothing stand ing but the mast, and no person on deck. Two steam boats went out of harbour, but did not see her ; it is sup posed she had been run down the night before.—North Wales Chronicle. FOG.—Yesterday the fog on the river was so close, that several of the steam boats were interrupted. We have even heard that a collision between some steamers took place a good way down the river, but the particulars, at the hour of publication, had not reached us.— Glasgow Free Prese. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—We regret to state, that on Thursday the 25th tilt. a fishing boat, con taining seven of a crew, was entering a small creek at Seter, near John o'Groat's ; a sudden surf rose, by which the boat was upset, and all on hoard perished—four of the sufferers were married, and have left families to deplore their untimely end ; four of the bodies have been found, but nothing has been seen of the boat or the other three.— Seotsman. MYSTERIOUS AND FATAL AFFAIR.- About one o'clock on Friday morning, one of the watch men observed a man standing at the head of an entry in the Castle Hill, in a sickly state, bordering on insensibility. As he gave him no satisfaction when questioned, the watch man brought his neighbour, and they assisted to convey him to the police-office. When he entered, he stated that he had been robbed of his watch, but could neither say when, where, nor by whom. When searched, a silk purse, containing 2s. 2d. and a silver pencil-case, were found in his possession. lie was lucked up in a watchman's room, and visited and examined by the surgeon, hut making no complaints, he was left till the morning. When next visited, he complained of a severe pain iu his back, and lie expressed some anxiety to get to his own house, which is in the southern districts. When he obtained his hat, he walked out of the office, took a coach at the foot of High-street, and was driven home. He stated that an attempt had been made on his life, and ern ! phaticaily said, "he had been Burked." He became weak so rapidly, that no farther explanation could be ob tained. The remark that he had been " Burked," led the medical men to examine his body, and very decided marks of injury were discovered on the thorax and abdomen.— Such are the facts of the ease, and they certainly do lead to the euspicicn that other parties have been engaged in the trade of murder, besides the nest of ruffians whose deeds have been recenrly brou g ht to light. It is but fair on the other hand t o ac k now l e d ge , th a t w hil e th e public mind is so much exeite.l, there mast be a tendency in indi viduals to trace a purpose of assassination in ev;ry act of personal violence offered to them.— Scotsman.

He is an officer of state, and his power is so unlimited, that it is controlled only by his responsibility to the state. In so far as regards criminal procedure, in relation to which he is styled " public prosecutor," he may be said to hold the " keys of life and death ; ' for no criminal prosecution can be instituted without his consent. In England there is a " grand jury" to investigate every matter of a criminal nature ; and, when they find a " true bill," the private party is " bound over," as they call it, to prosecute. But here we have no grand jury. The preliminary inquiry is made by the " pro curator fiscal" of the county within which the crime is committed. This officer reports the re sult of his investigation to the Lord Advocate ; and, so far from the private party being com pelled to prosecute, he hiss not even the power to do so without consent of his Lordship, to whose discretion it is left to determine whether any criminal prosecution shall be instituted, and whether it shall be at the instance of the " public prosecutor," or, with his consent, at the instance of the private party aggrieved. Such being the powers of the Lord Advocate, his duty and responsibility are proportionate. It is the duty of his Lordship to watch over the safety of the public, both in their persons and their property, with a jealous care ; and, when . ever any rumour of a crime having been corn mitted comes to his ear, it is his duty to investi gate, by himself or others, the matter to the bottom, and satisfy himself, and, if necessary, the public, whether there be any ground for the rumour ; and when there is ground, and pro bable chance of conviction, it is his duty to bring the accused to trial. And here the Lord Advo cate has a double duty to perform ; for the ac cused is under his protection as well as the public in general, and it is his Lordship's duty to judge impartially between them, and to exercise, with a sound discretion, the power reposed in him. This part of his Lordship's duty must often he matter of great delicacy and difficulty ; and it must be obvious that it is here that his great responsibility rests ; for, if he recklessly and hastily bring a man to trial, without serious cause, he is guilty of oppression towards the ac cused ; and if he willfully and perversely refuse to bring a man to trial, when there is serious cause, he is guilty of treachery to the public ; but for both he is responsible ; and should either happen, the public voice would be raised, and would not easily be stiffed. In this awful re sponsibility rests the security of the public. It has hitherto been found sufficient ; and we have no doubt that it will continue to be so. And here we may remark, that the relation in which the Lord Advocate stands to the public seems to be misunderstood, and that the person holding the office has not, in our day at least, been re garded by the public in his proper light. We mean the officer—not the individual. Hitherto the public seem to have regarded the Lord Advocate as an officer who ought to be viewed with suspicion and distrust ; and speak of him as a public enemy, whose interests and inclinations are altogether opposed to their own. If conviction follow a trial where public sym pathy has been excited on behalf of the ac cused, the public prosecutor is loaded with obloquy, and branded with every term of cruelty and reproach ; and if acquittal follow a trial where the public prejudice has been raised against the accused, the public prosecutor is charged with partiality and a desire to screen the accused. In short, wherever the public are dissatisfied, blame is always imputed to the officers of the Crown. Now this, we say, is wrong, and in this respect the public prosecutor is treated with ma nifest injustice ; for, instead of being regarded as a public enemy, or as an officer whose inte rests, and duties, and inclinations, are hostile to the public, he ought to be regarded as the pub lic protector and the public friend, and treated with every demonstration of confidence and en couragement. His interests, instead of being opposed to those of the public, are evidently identified with them ; and, instead of his being inclined to persecution and cruelty in the dis charge of his duty, it must frequently happen that the discharge of his duty as a public officer must be very painful to his feelings as a man ; and that, if his personal feelings were alone con sulted, it would be much more agreeable to plead for the accused than to crave a verdict against them.—Scotsman. FlRE.—This morning, about one o'clock, the public-house called the Six Cans and Punch-bowl, High Holborn, was discovered to be on fire, and such was the:rapidity of the flames, that it was with the utmost diffi culty the inm•ites escaped death. In the spare of two hours the house was reduced to a heap of ruitl9. The landlord, it is understood, is fully insured. RAISING FU WIND—A person, rather in want of the needful, drew an order for 1001. on a banker in Kirkaldy, a few days since, and carrying it to another banking-office, requested them to money it, as the coach was ow the eve of starting. This was complied with ; but, on presenting the cheque where it was payable, " No ac count" was the answer, nor have any tidings been heard of the person since.—Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle. On Thursday last, as Mr. Hewitt, a poor woman residing near Pittville, was pouring some boiling water into a tea-pot, it broke, and the contents falling apart her daughter, a child about two years and a half old, she was so dreadfully scalded, that her death took place o❑ Monday.— Cheltenham Chronicle. The plan for connecting the ports of Boston, Lynn, and null, by steam-navigation, will be acted upon in the ensuing Spring.

BIRMINGHAM. A pullic meeting was held at Birmingham on Tuesday, to pass the current accounts for the past. year. The C ,, nstables', Overseers', and Head borough's bills met with little opposition. The High Bailiff's account, amounting to 1,1471., was opposed by some of the most influential men in Bir mingham. One of its items was 1,050/. for the ex pences of a deputation to London to obtain the transfer of the Borough of East Retford to Birming ham. This deputation was appointed by a public meeting held in June, 1827, and its powers were limited to the furnishing of local information on the purposed transfer to Members of Parliament. The town felt extremely the hardship of paying monies, the outlay of which the inhabitants had not sanc tioned, and perhaps this indignant feeling was in creased by the circumstance that East Retford is not yet disfranchised, and that even if the transfer of the borough rites take place, Birmingham will not be benefited by it. Mr. Russell (one of the lower class, but a most intelligent man, who was examined before the House of Commons in March, 1828, against the transfer to Birmingham) opposed the charges in question, and suggested the hardship of imposing a fifth levy, or a sum equal to it, for the poor rate payers. Mr. Bird, a lawyer and gentle- man of much information, tact, and talent, also op posed the charges. Finally, they were passed, but a hint was thrown out that they would be appealed against. The town has been very much interested in the discussion of this (to it) highly important question. TIIE STAFFORD BARONY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

STATE OF TRADE.—The new year has commenced unfavourably for our manufactures; business in every branch of the cotton trade being at present ex ceedingly dull. The prices of yarn, however, do not ex hibit any tendency to fall, thbugh the demand is so limited. Piece goode have reached the lowest point to which low wages, low materials, and no profits can be supposed to re duce them, and we ale sorry to add, that even these terms do not tempt buyers to come into the market. We are sorry to add that the silk trade partakes of the dulness of the cotton trade. There has been a turn-out of cotton spinners at Stockport for higher wages ; but it is not likely that they will succeed in obtaining an advance at a time when the market pike of yarn will barely cover prime cost. The spring is, however, approaching, and we hope, notwithstanding the unpromising state of the market at present, that we shall soon have to announce a considerable imprevetnent both in the demand and price of our mann factures.—Manchestcr Poper.

A number of the electors of Farringdon Ward Without met at dinner yesterday, at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill. The Chairman, Mr. FEARoN, gave several toasts —" The King ;" " The People ;" " The Rights of the Elective Body of Farringdon Ward;" " Mr. Samuel Thompson ;" " Civil and Religions Li berty ;" " Corporate Reform ;" " The Stewards," and" The Health of our guest, Henry Hunt, Esq., the Senior Auditor of the City of London, and may he succeed in his efforts to investigate the applica tion of the property of his fellow-citizens." Mr. HUNT, in returning thanks, made a speech, of which the only remarkable parts were his relation of the manner in which his connexion with the City commenced, and cause of the hostility of Alderman Waithman to him. He said that in 1811 he was visiting William Cohbett in Newgate, who was im prisoned there for a libel on the Government. There were present Sir Francis Burdett, Major Cart wright, Mr. Samuel Miller, and probably Mr. Wardle, and some other gentlemen. They told him they had just been reading an account of a Com mon Hall, and that they regretted to see that one man was leading the Livery by the nose. Sir F. Burdett said to him " Hunt, will you become a livery-man ? I'll pay the expellees, in order that you may attend the Common-halls,and advocate general and not partial li berty." He answered that he would, and went af terwards into the country, thinking no more about it. In a day or two he received a letter, saying that every thing was ready; so he came up to town, was sworn in, and paid 30/.; but he must not forget to add, that Sir Francis Burdett did not recollect to pay the expellees, or any part of them. The cause of the hostility of Alderman Waithman, whose public measures he had always supported, was this : —Some years ago it would he recollected, that, of the Members of the City, Alderman Curtis always laughed at their petitions, and said plainly that he would have nothing to do with them, while Al derman Combe always approved of them, but regretted that in consequence of ill health he could not support them in the House of Com mons. This was the message they constantly re ceived from Alderman Combe. He, therefore, on one occasion, expecting the usual answer from the Alderman, went prepared with a few resolutions. The first complimented Alderman Combe for what he had done as their representative; the second re minded the Alderman of his pledge to resign if his constituents thought proper ; and the third called upon him to fulfil that pled g e. He showed these resolutions to Sir Richard Phillips, who said that they were very proper ; and he (Mr. Hunt) said, " Then, will you second them ?" Sir Richard said, " No, but I'll ask Waithman." He believed that his reply was, " Will vou, by God ?" He expected what the answer of Alderman Waithman would be. The Alderman replied, in a loud voice, " No; they are intended to cut my throat :" and Sir Richard came away as much frightened as if Mr. Waithman had fired a pistol at him, and only just missed him. The resolutions, however, were seconded by some body in the Hall, and put by Mr. Alderman Wood, who was Lord Mayor, in spite of the protestations of Mr. Waithman that they could not be put then, but that a special meeting must be called for the purpose. The resolutions were carried tuiani mouslv. As soon as the Common-hall was over, Mr. Alderman Wood, who meant to start in case of a vacancy, and whose office of Lord Mayor almost assured him of success, posted down to Alderman Combe in the country, told him what had happened, and Mr. Alderman Combe expressed his willingness to resign. Just as Alderman Wood vas coming out of Mr. Combo's gate, who should he meet but Alderman Waithman, who, it seemed, had made great haste from town, and who was upon the same errand. The result was, that Mr. Alderman Wood started, came in without opposition, and in spite of his (Alderman Wood's) vehement protestations, Mr. Weidman' would never believe that the former had not employed him (Mr. Hunt) to thwart Ow, views of Alderman Waitharan. 'I his was a Criat: too great to be forgiven, and ever since that time Mr. Alderman Weldr:an had exhibited towards him the same disposition which he had lately evinced at the ward-mote. Several other speeches were made during the evening, and some songs also were sung. Tbe din ner was attended, we should think, he about 130 person,,. SPIRIT OF THE LONDO`: JOURNAT.S. On looking over the lately published distribin tion of our military force, we observed—what, indeed, we could hardly he unprepared for—that an enormous proportion of it was dispersed over Ireland, viz. not less than seven regiments of ca valry, and 22 entire battalions of infantry. Be sides which, there are an equal or greater number of depots, consisting of 221 rank and file each, with a numerous corps of horse and foot artil lery. This is a more formidable military power than the British Government finds it necessary to maintain in India, where there are almost a hundred million of natives to he kept in absolute subjugation. But there is another difference, • which men who take a sober view of the public interests cannot be expected to overlook. That portion of the British army which is stationed India, receives its pay from the Company, and costs the empire nothing ; whereas every soldier employed to garrison Ireland, and to keep down the inhabitants, adds grievously to the financial burdens of this country, which alone has to fur nish the expellee. It is a melancholy reflection that while India, with 100,000,000 of Malm metans and Hindoos newly conquered, at such an immense distance from Great Britain, has been governed with a degree of mildness and equality which admits of its being retained in al legiance to the empire, and in security from fo reign attacks, by a corps of 20,000 Eu ropean soldiers, we administer the affaira of Ireland on such opposite principles of jealousy, partiality, and downright coer cion, that a people of fellow-Christians, who have lived for six centuries within six hours' sail of England, and under the dominion of the Bri tish Crown, cannot be trusted with the guar dianship of their own peace, of their So vereign's rights, and of the Constitu tion of which they have the nominal benefits, unless in the presence of an army of 30,000 men ! Such is one among the bitter fruits of a system of legislation refusing to conform itself to the circumstances of the society upon which it operates, but tending to provoke, and finally to arm against itself, the growing bulk of numbers, property, and intelligence, the rapidly advancing strength of the Irish people. We are asto nished that some few of the great city arithmeti cians, the dealers in funds, the scouts of com mercial enterprise, the pioneers of prosperity in all its branches, the jackalls of untried specula tion, do not examine this fair field of Ireland, and prevail upon their Treasury friends to help a little so promising a job as that of giving re pose to Ireland, not from any visionary notions about justice, liberality, or long-sighted wisdom, but for the prompt and intelligible purpose of lowering the army estimates, reducing the taxes a couple of millions a year, and opening a fresh • and productive channel for the impatient capital of several hundreds- of rich citizens panting for advantageous investments, by proving to them that Ireland, maintained in tranquillity by popular and wholesome laws, would yield them at once labourers at low wages, proximity to well-situated outports, per fect security for the. enjoyment of Mlle ence, and, altogether, a beneficial transfer- of money, skill, and industry, from the most fortu nate districts of Great Britain. In extending one's observation to those details of the military distribution which belong to the Vs'est India Co lonies, it is impossible not to feel surprise aria regret at the amount of military force which has been assigned to them, and at the enorm ous addition of expellee which such an ap propriation of the army entails upon the empire, as %Yell as at the diseases amt loss of life to which the officers and soldiers are every year exposed in that most deadly cli mate. There are stationed, as it appears by the return, sixteen battalions in our West Indi a co lonies (including two regiments of blacks), and of the number five battalions me in Jamaica. This is an immense force for such a quarter, at tended by a severe cost, and by a frightful and deplorable mortality. It seems odd that during the last war there should have been ten or twelve battalions of black soldiers in constant pay, be having themselves in a manner which entitled them to the most implicit conf:idence, and Which relieved the King's Government of all apprehere, sion for the safety of the islands against any efforts of foreign hostility, or of domestic trea son ; yet that now, since the peace, when there are no foreign enemies to assail them from without, or to foment internal dise turbances, the islands are held to require the presence of British troops, and to be insecure under the protection of negro regi ments, officered by Englishmen ; or if not, why were the latter corps disbanded "a I ,l'e certainly shall not be suspected of undervaluing the lives and properties of our fellow-subjects and come, trymen in these colonies ; but we feel eati4ed, that by a moderate increase of the naval force on the Jamaica and Leeward Island station,—by trying a more extended experiment than at pre sent with black troops, and by encouraging an active militia throughout the islands,—the seen rity of these valuable possessions, both outward and within, might be provided for with even in creased efficiency, while a considerable reduction might be made in the financial burdens of the country ; and by the reduced number of Eng lish men and officers employed there, a large an nual amount both of invalid pensions and mili tary deaths might be avoided. The speech of the Lieutenant-Governor of Jamaica to the House of Assembly, is well drawn up, and in a wise and conciliatory spirit. His recommenda tion of measures for improving the intellectual and religious character of the slave will, we trust, be attended to by the island Legislature : for undoubtedly there is no other basis on which an improvement of his physical condition can be so likely to obtain for him that amelioration with the full consent of the great body of the plan ters. The law of 1826, of which the general provisions were concurred in by his Majesty's Government, but which was rejected for one or two objectionable clauses affecting the subiect of religious instruction, was again proposed' to the notice of the Assembly, and taken into con sideration, by a majority of votes.—Times. We some time ago offered some observations on the strange inconsistency in our judicial sys tem of allowing the verdict of a jury in a civil case, howevery trumpery, to be set aside again and again till one is obtained which meets tile approbation of the Court, and allowing no ap peal in criminal cases, even when life is at stake. We observed at the same time, that the prero gative of the Crown to pardon was, in the stlict sense, a nonentity, as the Crown could not be supposed to possess any prerogative inconsistent with the good of the subject ; and the punish ment of guilt could not be dispensed with, with out giving encouragement to crime—a result obviously opposed to the general good, which must always be supposed to be the aim of the Sovereign. The prerogative to pardon, we fur, titer obseived, had in some sort aceennnotkljtA

itself to modern notions ; and the King in Coun cil, represented generally by the Home Secre tary, was, in fact, a Court of Review. We re- , marked at the same time, that it was necessary to the ends of justice that the proceedings in all Courts should be open ; and that though iu the case which immediately led to our observations, that of Hunton, the decision of Mr. Peel might be fair, yet the canvassing and intriguing on the part of friends and enemies, the listening to accounts of the former life of a criminal, which might be satisfactorily explained perhaps, were an opportunity given for that purpose (and this had been done in that case, it appeared), was obviously the very worst mode that could be thought of for reviewing the trials of our Tribunals. Mr. Peel is, in fact, the Court of Appeal for the United Kingdom. That he can execute the duties implied in such a charge sa tisfactorily we do not believe. He may occa sionally, when the public attention is directed to a particular case, look a little into it, especially if solicited by powerful persons ; but in general the aggrieved can only expect, from an appeal to him, the mockery of a confirmation of the sen tence complained of, pronounced in utter igno rance of the merits. Mr. Peel is one of those men who are anxious to put their best foot fore most, as the adage has it, and who would, like the Pharisees of old, do good, when sure to be seen of men ; but he is the last man whom we would trust, where nothing is to be gained but the-approbation of a good conscience. In the Chronicle of Monday last, we extracted from the Windsor Express an account of the result of an application to the Home Secretary in be half of the Hunts, convicted of manslaughter in the case of Lord Mount Sandford, not " be cause (says this paper) any body in their senses imagined , the Hunts were really guilty of man slaughter, but because all persons present at an affray, in which one of them meets with his death, are in law equally guilty of the crime.— Brinklet, who gave the fatal kick which caused the death of Lord Mount Sand- • ford, was sentenced to transportation, and the Hunts (who, with probably a hundred others, were merely present at the affray in which this fact took place) to two years' imprisonment and hard labour, although the prosecutor recom mended them to mercy. So strong was the im pression of the severity of the sentence (as re gards the Hunts), that a petition was sometime back drawn up, praying for its mitigation, which received the signatures of the Vicar, Magistrates, the two Members, and all the must reseectable inhabitants of this town. This petition was forwarded to the Home Secretary by our re spected Member, John Ramsbottom, Esq. The answer returned was as follows: " Whitehal:, Nov. 6, 1528. Sir—Having taken into c,.msideration the peti tion which you presented in favour of Thomas and George Bunt, who were convicted at the last Assizes fur the county of Berks of manslaughter, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment, I regret to acquaint } on, that the circumstances of the case are of such a nature that I cannot, consistently with my public duty, recommend either of the prisoners to his Majesty for any mitigation of their sentence. I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, " ROBERT PEEL. " John Ralnshottorn, Esq., N.P. &c. The Windsor Express insinuates that ikh. Peel never looked further into the case than to read the verdict and sentence, and that he could not possibly have made himself master of " the circumstances of the case." The mischief of this sort of mockery is, that men convicted, either unjustly, or under a harsh construction of law. have to suffer under the odium of a double convic tion—that of the tribunal, and that of Mr. reel's Mock Court of Review. We alluded yesterday to the ease of a gentleman most unjustly con ,,'icted of as indecent assault against a girl, as having succeeded in establishing his innocence to the satisfaction of the Home Secretary ;" and having in consequence been " liberated long before the lapse of the period of hie sentence." When we made this statement, we were only acquainted with the result ; but we have since been furnished with the particulars of the pro ceedings, and a most instructive commentary they form on our supposed Court of Review, The party aggrieved, a Mr. Giflan, having caused the evidence of his case to be laid before the Home Secretary, in due time an answer from the Right Hon. Gentleman was received, conveying the information that he had examined into the circumstances, and had, besides, con sulted with the Recorder, and that he could not, consistently with his public duty, recommend the prisoner to his Majesty for any mitigation of the sentence. The young man and his wife, whom he had married not long before the distressing event, were about to resign themselves patiently to their hard lot, when a shrewd friend observed, " you have tried what justice can do—try now I interest. Your wife is a countrywoman of Sir Peter Laurie—whatever faults the Scotch may have, that of backwardness to serve each other is not one of them—let her go to Sir Peter, and satisfy him of the injustice of the sentence, and, take my word for it, he will extricate you." The hint was acted on. Sir Peter Laurie prevailed on Mr. Sheriff Wylde and Mr. Sheriff Spottis . woode to go over the evidence with himself, and they were thoroughly satisfied that the young man was completely , innocent. They did not hesitate to represent the case to the Home Se cretary ; and the Right Hon. Gentleman, who had already considered the evidence, and had,. besides, consulted with the Recorder, and saw no reason to recommend any mitigation of the sentence, instantly, on the very same evidence, saw ground for liberating the prisoner ; and by way of showing his strong sense of the injustice he had suffered, allowed him to leave prison on re cognizance forthwith, in order that he might not have to suffer till the steps could be gone through in due form. Such is the nature of the Court of Review, of which Mr. Peel is the efficient Judge, and such is the agency through which he can be approached. The plain English of the matter is this ; —where a man does not pos sess interest, he can suffer no wrong. A rich and powerful man will always find the ear of the Home Secretary open to redress; and de mini tnis lex non curat.—Morning Chronicle. There are persons, whose opinions are worth regarding, who do not hesitate to affirm that the Marquis of Anglesea's too-celebrated letter amounts to an offence cognisable by law, and which is liable to undergo judicial investigation, This - opinion they ground upon two points:— the one, that the letter itself amounts to a breach of his duty as the King's Representative, and a Privy Councillor ; the other, upon that parti cular phrase in it, which is supposed to hold out something like an encouragement to the Catho lic body to keep alive and augment that state of agitation in which the country has 19r1,g been so unfortunately involved. We do not ourseive,s ; however, perceive that any penal consequences can attach to the letter, though our first impres sion of its manifest imprudence is more and more increased. That it will undergo much dis cussion in Parliament, and be the subject of much sharp animadversion in both Houses, can not be doubted. Its imprudence, not to say utter unjustifiableness, is much increased, if it be true, as is now stated, that the Noble Marquis knew himself to be recalled at the time lie wrote the letter. Though the nature of the public service often requires that a man shall hold an office for some short time after his removal from it is resolved uFon, every one so situated must consider himself as virtually removed, and the 1 mere locum tenens of his successor ; and, being so, he can have no earthly right or pretension to do more than absolute necessity requires ; and, above all, can have no right to increase the very ground on which his own removal has taken place. Suppose, for instance, in the case of a Colonial Secretary, his removal were deemed ne cessary on account of any particular line of po licy towards the Provincial Governments which had been deemed objectionable, would it be jus tifiable, or would it be tolerated, that a person so situated should employ the interval of holding the seals till his successor may be appointed in sending out fresh despatches, reiterating and en forcing the very principles which had called for his dismissal 1,1 Such, or very much like it, seems to be the case of the Noble Marquis. According to his own showing, he was ignorant of the precise sentiments of the head of the King's Government upon the Catholic Question. Was not that alone a sufficient reason why the Marquis, as the local organ of that Government, should at least have been silent till he possessed the knowledge which might have enabled him to speak ? The Duke of Welling ton is not a man to be at the head of a Govern ment pulling different ways ; nor, from what the world has seen of the Marquis of Anglesea's hieh and noble bearing, is the latter a man likely to hold office at the price of his own honour and consistency. His obvious course was, first, to see whether the Duke and himself really held conflicting opinions upon that curse of Ireland, and almost of England, the Catholic Question ; and, if that turned out to be the case to an irre concileable extent, to lose no time in resigning his office, and then to state his grounds for so doing in Parliament. But Dr. Curtis, however respectable in himself, was, at any rate, not the proper channel for the public or the Govern ment to learn the Noble Viceroy's sentiments upon State affsirs. The Noble Marquis might almost as well have honoured us with his corre spondence, and sent his despatches to Govern ment through the means of the daily papers. In every point of view the step appears to us inde fensible ; and we regret it the more as the act of one who has bled so nobly in the cause of his country, and towards whom its respect and gra titude can never be wanting.-11forning Herald. The removal of the Marquis of Anglesea from the Lieutenantcy of Ireland does not indi cate, it is said, and will not produce any change in the disposition of the Government with re spect to the Catholic Question. This, no doubt, is true. The determinations of the British Go vernment, upon a constitutional question of pa ramount and permanent importance, are not likely to be influenced in any manner or degree by cir cumstances comparatively so trivial as the mis conduct of this or any other individual, and the consequent necessity of superseding him. The person who does more or less than his duty is removed to make way for one who will be con tent to do neither more nor less. This is the beginning and the end of the affair ; nor will future consequences, so far as they depend upon the policy of Government, be inferred from this oc currence, unless by those who are desirous, in com pliment to the Noble Marquis, or for the pur poses of the party to which he now belongs, of exaggerating its importance. Government has taken the most direct anti certain course to pre vent such mischievous exaggeration, by intimat ing to Lord L. Gower, the present Secretary for Ireland, its wish that he should continue to fulfil the duties of that office. But if the policy of Government be above the reach of any influence of this nature, springing I oni the conduct of an individual, it is clear nevertheless that ultimate success to the pretensions of the Papists is ren dered less probable by the conduct the Marquis of Anglesea has pursued ; because the Protestant subjects of the British Government will and ought to derive from it a lesson, the effect of which must be to render them more strongly and generally adverse to concession. They will compare the Marquis of Anglesea as he was, with the Marquis of .Anglesea as he is, and will auk what has caused the difference? They will anxiously inquire what has metamorphosed the once sound Constitutional British Peer into the factious Agitator that they now behold him ? They will he eager to ascertain how he has become a vio lator of his official duty, whom once it would have been an outrage to suppose capable of swerving from it in the slightest degree. They will examine curiously the process by which this zealous and uncompromising Protestant Cham pion has been transmuted into an advocate of the Popish cause ; and they will find that these fatal consequences to the mind and character of his Lordship have ensued from the circumstance of his having exposed himself too freely to the con tagious atmosphere of Popery and the artifices of Jesuitical seduction. The Marquis of An glesea is a man dear to the country, one who must always be dear to the country, notwith standing all we have upon this occasion been compelled to say of him, for his name is associated with the proudest event in our country's annals—and his fall, for fallen he is, and the causes which have produced it, will sink deep into the national mind.— Catholic Emancipation is but another name for the free exposure, in all future age 3, of the Bri tish Court aad Monarch to the contagious at mosphere of Popery and the artifices of Jesuiti cal seduction ; and from the effect produced by these upon the character, opinions, and conduct of Lord Anglesea, the Protestant people of England will not fail to perceive and appreciate the evils of which they are likely to he the source when admitted to this loftier and more extensive sphere. Lord Anglesea, when he spoke so forcibly and correctly as he once did of the effect which past concessioms had pro duced—when. he justly said that they had served only to call new pretensions into exist ence—and when he proclaimed his determined resolution to take his stand against all fur ther encroachment at the point where we ' now stand, was already at a period of life at which, if a man's opinions are ever to be fixed, his might have been supposed to be so. Yet we now bdiohl this zealous and determined opponent of constitutional change converted by the blandishments of Je suitical seduction into an advocate and pro moter, per fas et nefas, of innovation. If I Popery have done this, what greater or more • difficult triumph will it achieve, when, in a fu ture age, some youthful ,l'qonarch of Great Bri tain shall become entangled in its snare, and willing to sacrifice to the religion what the pre sent Viceroy of Ireland has sacrificed to the po— litics of the Roman Hierarchy—his interest and his duty ? To say that this effect of Catholic Emancipation—an effect which is strictly syno nymous with a long and sanguinary series of civil convulsions, with protracted misery, if not final ruin to this great and glorious and happy nation, is improbable—is, in other words, to say that an indefinite succession of hereditary Princes may he expected, without a single ex ception, to consist of men less accessible to se duction than the lilarquis of Anglesea.—Morn ing. Post. THE ENGLISH SYSTEM OF BALANCING BOOKS. TO THE EDITOR. Sir—ln your paper of the Ist instant, I observe a letter headed " Remington and C 0.," and signed " E. T. J." wherein the writer asserts that the Eng lish system of balancing books is the only perfect mode of book-keeping. This system and its prospectus are now before me. It contains the testimony of seven Bristol merchants, that it detects all errors in amount. The author says it has been sanctioned, after a minute investigation, by the lion. East India Company, two Bank Directors, six bankers, and 148 of the first mercantile houses in London, all whose names are inserted in this prospectus. It had likewise been introduced, adopted, and strongly recommend ed, in a circular from the respectable finn of Dixon, Morgan, and Co. The author's pretensions are as follows :—" It stands on a basis of infallible correctness. No error in amount can hereby escape detection. One error cannot counterbalance another. No error in the ledger of any amount whatever, under any circum stances, can escape detection. No error or mis statement can possibly remain OR either ►ide, or on both sides, of equal or unequal amount. The errors are detected by an unerring process, and the trouble of calling over the books for that object made un necessary," &c. My sole object is to guard the public against the serious consequences of adopting a system, and trusting to its infallibility, merely upon the high authority of its sanction, or the assertions of its author. My opinion is, that there is not a single account in the ledger which it proves to be either right or wrong—that its principle is false, and its result delusive. The author proceeds, " If in any given period en tries are made in those books that are posted into the ledger, amounting collectively to 50,000/. Dr. and Cr., the accounts in the ledger, for the same period, if correctly posted, will cast up to the same amount, neither more nor less." And so they would if every one of them was incorrectly posted. What can the agreement of two totals have to do with the correctness of the items of which those totals are composed ? If there tire entries in the journal to the debit of A, B, and C, of 1001. each, total 300/., and they are posted into the ledger thus—A 1401., B 1201. and C 401., total 3001., will any man but the author of the English system of balancing books say these are not errors ? I now refer to the work, and will show that not only errors, but a fraud even may be introduced. Th e amount of postings to the ledger, from July to Sept. to the credit of profit and loss, is 2,674/. 12s. I Id., and to the credit of Alex. Martin is 3,919/. 9s. 9d. (See the two last accounts in the balance-sheet, folio 5.) Now, if the former had been posted 2,624/. 12s. I id., and the latter 3,969/. 9s. 9d. there would have been two errors ; and if the ledger keeper had been in collusion with Alex. Martin, there would have been a fraud also. In order to prove, as he terms it, " the impossi bility of errors, even of equal amount, on both sides' passing unobserved," (see page 6) he gives the following rule:—" Take the total amount of debits to creditors' accounts, which in this balance-book 1s 58,987/. 10s. 10d." I have done so, and find the amount is only 25,2391. Is. 9d. Here is an error on one side of 33,7481. 9s. Id. The total amount of their credits he makes 289,4461. 2s. 9d. I find it is only 255,6971. 135.8 d. Here is an error en the other side of 33,7481.95. id. Thus has.he himself committed those identical errors, " of equal amount on both sides," while he is in the very act of proving they cannot be com• mitted !—I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Pentonville, Jan. 7. .1. S. Every week produces a fresh petition against the Catholic claims from one or other of the parishes in this city ; and it is probable, that after a few others have appearcd, which are in preparation, that a general meeting of the inhabitants will take place.—Bath Chronicle. On Thursday last, two men and a woman, who form part of a notorious gang of housebreakers who have for a long time infteted the neighbourhood of Bridge water, were taken into custody on suspicion of having been concerned in a burglary at Chilton-super-Polden, and prior to their examination, were confined in separate cells in the Borough gaol. On Saturday morning the gaoler, hearing a noise in the cell in which one of them, named Joseph Wilkins, was confined, entered it, and discovered the latter suspended to the bed-post ; he WWI immediately cut down, anti medical assistance being procured, anima tion was restored. The other man and the woman have 'since been committed to Wilton House of Correction on a charge of felony.— Taunton Courier. The sale of wood has for some time been very dull in this city ; and, consequently, a great number of sawyers have been but ind:fferently suppled with work for some time past : this has been more particularly the ease with those employed in " sa'e•yards." This dullness is imputed, in a great measure, to the buildings which were commenced in the early part of last year, being now nearly all finished. A slight rise, however, lately took place on the wood ; and it is expected, that early in spring some considerable purchases will take place. It may also be I mentioned that at the present time a good number of both wrights and masons are in want of employment. The cabinet making business, which for some time previous to this date was very brisk, is at the present moment in rather an insipid state ; and several journeymen who have lately been thrown out of employment, have not been able to procure " a job" in this city.— Glasgow Chronicle. PETRIFYING SPRINGS.—At Claremont, in the south of France, there is a spring which possesses the power of petrifaction in a very extraordinary degree.— When Professor Blanqui visited that quarter last year, there was an ox undergoing the operation ; and although the animal had begun to sit—or rather stand—for his statue only a year before, one half of him was already changed into a stone monument ! Many horses are to be seen, turned into monuments to themselves, and ornamenting, in the capacity of statues, the fields where they once pas ' turgid ; and a collection of other quadrupeds, with flowers, fruits, and birds, attest the formidable powers of this magic spring. The Professor, after trying some chemical ana lyses, without success, made off in a hurry, thanking his stars that the power of motion remained. —Dumfries Courier. Last Monday night, as the Halesworth stage. waggon was coining to town, within a short distance of Thunford, it overtook several hay-carts, when Mr. Henry Smith (one of the proprietors of the waggon) ordered the waggoner to pass, as by so doing he would save at least 20 minutes at the Romfoid turnpike. The man obeyed ; Mr. Smith following the waggon on foot, received a blow from an unknown hand, which felled him to the ground, senseless. In a few minutes another stage-waggon came up, when the dog observing something lying in the road, begin harking furiously. The waggoner stopped his horses and went forward, when he discovered Mr. Smith weltering in his blood. Having aroused his fellow-wag goner, who was sleeping in the waggon, they placed Mr. Smith in the waggon, perfectly unconscious of what was passing. In this state, after being on the journey between two and three hours, he arrived hi town. On the arrival of a surgeon, he discovered Mr. Smith's right arm slattered in a must shocking manner; his chin cut in three places; his face and body bruised, and a stab in the a rm , ap parently done by the prong of a fork. He now lies in a most fleplm able state; and there can be no doubt , but for the timely arrival of the second waggon, Mr. Swil l wou ld have been murdered, and the property he had on him plundered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GVILDHALL A decently-dressed woman, named Mary Hol man, was brought before Mr. Alderman ANSLEI' yesterday, under the following• charge : Mr. Butcher, the managing agent at Messrs. Brougham's wholesale carpet warehouse, in Skinner street, stated, that the prisoner's husband had been employed by the firm, as a porter, about four years. Latterly various articles had been missed from the premises, and the porter being taxed with having taken away some of them, confessed he had done so, and brought them back. Two pair of window curtains were missed subsequently, and the porter was questioned about them as before, but he denied having taken them. Being exhorted to tell the truth, he said solemnly, " If I have taken them, I wish God may cause my tongue to drop out of my mouth !" Mr. Butcher told him, that, notWithstalid log these expressions, he suspected - him, and would send for an officer; upon which the por ter began crying, begged for mercy, and acknow ledged he had pledged the curtains, at Mr. Reeve's, on Snow-hill. He produced a sovereign, and said, if Mr. Butcher would allow him to step home for the duplicate, he would redeem the arti cles instantly. Mr. Butcher, however, persisted in sending for a constable : the constable refused to attend, and the complainant was authorizing an as sistant to go home with the porter, and search his lodging, when a customer entered, complainant's at tention was distracted, and the porter slipped out, and had not been heard of since. His apartment, in Ironmonger-street, St. Luke's, was searched soon after, but the porter had been home before the officer arrived, and nothing remained to criminate him. Upon inquiry at the pawnbroker's the curtains were discovered, afid also a piece of carpeting, pledged for 41. only two or three days previously. It had been stolen from the warehouse, but had not been missed. On Wednesday evening the prisoner at tempted to redeem the curtains, and was detained. The prisoner said she was ordered by her hus band to redeem the curtains, and restore them to Mr. Butcher. As there was no doubt she was the lawful wife of the porter, the ALDERMAN decided that the law would assume she acted under the influence of her husband, and dismissed her ; but directed the money she was about to pay to the pawnbroker to be given to the complainant. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a gentleman from Lord Stafford waited upon Sir R. BIRNIE, to know if he had ascertained, at the Home-office, whether the sentence of Mrs. Stamp Cooke Sutton had been commuted through the interest of his Lord hip, as stated by Captain Pettinghall. Sir R. BIRNIE observed, that he had made the necessary inquiry, and from all that he could learn there was no truth whatever in the statement, and he believed that there was as little foundation for the other circumstances related by Captain Pettinghall connected with Lord Stafford and Mrs. Cooke. The gentleman said that an affidavit was preparing which would show the real facts, and completely exculpate Lard Stafford. He then thanked Sir R. Birnie and withdrew. Not less than 21 individuals were brought for ward in one batch, in the course of the morning, charged with having, been found in a new dancing and drinking assembly, opened last New Year's day, upon the plan of Mother by the celebrated Grubb, of flash-house notoriety. The group pre sented a most motley appearance, the majority being females of a certain class, decked out in all the finery of the ballroom ; which, however brilliant it might have appeared by the light of Mr. Grubb's chande liers, seemed rather the worse for wear when exhi bited in the glare of day. The ladies' ringlets were all discomposed as well as their dresses; and the rouge which some of them had used to refresh the natural beauty of their cheeks, appeared in unseemly patches, which partook more of brick-dust than the colour of the rose. The male prisoners consisted of some flash gentlemen, old customers of Grubb and Rowbottom, one or two disobedient apprentices, a simple gentleman from Yorkshire, the captain of a Liverpool trader, two or three gentlemen at large, following no particular trade or calling, and the three musicians employed by Grahb to give motion to the light fantastic toes of his customers. When called upon to say who they were, the ladies lisped forth their respective name', consisting of the usual list of Louisas, Matildas, Angelinas, &c. "Pray, Sir," said Sir R. BIRNIE to the Liver pool Captain " what may be your name ?" " I am called Samuel Milne, Sir," replied the Captain. "Unluckily for me, I came to London to spend the Christmas; went to the theatre, and from thence to a house called Mother IL's, where, as a matter of course, I met with a female acquaint. ante, who introduced me to Mr. Grubb's, to take a dance, of which, as a sailor, I am fond, when the constables boarded us sure enough, bore us all away to the watch-house, and from thence to your Wor ship's presence ; from which," edded the Captain, aside, "may the Lord deliver me !" " Well, Sir, and what is your name and calling ?" asked the Magistrate, turning to another gentleman. " My name, Sir, is Alexander Simpson," replied the gentleman. "lam a friend of Capt. Milne, and I consider that I have been very ill-used." Bend, the officer, here stated, that this gentleman was the most obstreperous of the entire lot. Sir IL 13tee;IE observed, that constables, officers, and Magistrates, too, came in at times for a licking, it' not with sticks and stones, with a weapon quite as dangerous, namely, a goose-quill. All they had to do, however, was to bear it patiently, and join in the general grin. (Laughter.) " And who are you, Sir," continued the Magistrate, pursuing his inquiries, and addressing the gentleman from York shire. " Me, Sir ?" he replied, "my name is John Jackson. I have come last from Yorkshire, and would have left town for York this morning, having paid 3/. for my seat, if I had not unfortunately been locked up in the watch-house, and that is the lightest part of my sorrow, your Worship, for I have lost a young lady who was to have accompanied me home, and who, of course, has set off without me." " I am really sorry for your double loss," said the Magistrate, " but I hope this lesson will make you more cautious." ___.... The next person was William Hull, a livery stable-keeper, who merely said that he was seduced by the sound of the music to enter Grubb's assem bly, where he declared he would never be seen again. The rest of the males gave nearly the same ac count of themselves; and• after an admonition from the Magistrate, they were all discharged, upon en tering into their respective recognizances to meet any charge that may be preferred against them at the Sessions. Sir R. BIRNIE declared that his object was to abate the nuisance of Grubb's establishment. A schoolmaster, named Willis, came to obtain a warrant against Martin Ferstandeg, the German who was prosecuted by Wilks, the bookseller, for unlawfully pawning a book, his property. The complainant said that Ferstandeg obtained the book under false pretences, and pawned it with out his knowledge or consent. Sir R. BIRNIE declined granting the warrant, but toll the applicant that he might, if he liked, prefer an indictment against Ferstandeg at the now holden Westminster Sessions.

HORRID CASE.—A poor man, who bad been affected with rup.ure, was, on Thursday night, attacked by two Ines and a woman. They got him down in a close in the south end of the Gorbals, his face uppermost, and they there trampled him under their feet, on his breast and his belly until his entrails were absolutely forced out. An operation was obliged to be performed to restore them to their place, but the sufferer, as might be anticipated, con tinues in the most dangerous state. The assailants and criminals in this case were all Irish..-. Glasgow Courier. MILITARY ETIQUETTE. During the late rebellion in Ireland, General Beresford (now Peer and Field Marshal) com manded a district, and, upon one occasio►►; pro ceeded to inspect a country corps of yeomanry, drawn up for that purpose. On riding up to their front, imstead of being received with "pre sented arms," he found the corps " standing at ease." The Captain had, in fact, on first seeing the General, given the word "attention," to which no attention was paid—but, pressed by the General's rapid approach, he proceeded to the next order of his formula, "shoulder arms." To add to his embarrassment, however, the arms moved not, The General, with his characteristic good nature, suggested to the commandant to speak in a louder tone, who, not a little indig nant, repeated with a Stentorian voice " shoulder arms," but all to no purpose ; there stood the corps, dogged and motionless. Such a total apparent ignorance of the manual exercise, na turally excited the chagri❑ of the Captain and the astonishment of the General, to whom the former only a few days before had been puffing off the discipline of his corps. At length the General having intimated his intention of re porting the corps, was about to leave the field, when a sergeant with his " halbert recover ed," stepped in front of the ranks, and addressed the General in the following terms :—" Plase your honour, General ; don't think the corpse does not know its exercise as well as any sojers in the land. There is not min in the country knows how to use their arms, aye, and their legs too, bitter than those afore you ; but since you must know the truth, Sir, the min and the Cap tain of late have not been-on yoking 'amis."— Dublin Morning Register.

DEATH OF MR. R. A. SMITH. It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow that we have to announce the death of Mr. R. A. Smith, precentor in St. George's Church. Mr. Smith had just recovered from the horrors of a nervous fever, and was to all appearance in a fair way of recovery, but a disease which had been secretly preying on his vitals tapidly in creased to such a degree as to baffle the skill of his physicians, and at length terminated his suf ferings on Saturday evening last. It is not our intention to enlarge on this melancholy event, but we could not allow so much worth and talent to pass into the oblivion of the grave without bearing our humble and sincere tribute of respect to the memory of Mr. Smith. He has long been well known to the musical public by his publications of the Scottish and Irish Minstrels —works which have become of standard excel lence—and by his numerous vocal compositions ; among which, though not generally known, is to be numbered that most celebrated and much hacknied ballad, " The Flow'r o' Dumblane,"— a song which, for the last sixtee❑ or seventeen years, has been sung and played in a thousand forms in every corner of the world. Mr. Smith was generally - very happy in his melodies ; he did not pretend to great science ; but to apply the words of a great composer—" Where the air is good, the composition will assuredly please," and therefore it was that those simple ballads which Mr. Smith from time to time put forth, obtained so much admiration. His sacred compositions are very numerous ; a set of an thems, which appeared some years ago, will al ways remain a model of simple grandeur and de votional feeling. His taste was pure and refined, and he sung with much sweetness and pathos. Under his superintendance, the music in St. George's Church has been brought to a state of great perfection, and is a theme of praise to all strangers, even those from the most musical places in England, where church music forms so conspicuous a part of worship. In his manners Mr. Smith was bashful and retiring to a degree —most amiable and kindhearted—and was uni versally liked wherev . er he was known, more par ticularly by the congregation of St. George's, many of whom employed him as their teacher. As he was liked, so is he lamented ; indeed the tone of sympathy which seemed to pervade the assembly when his decease was alluded to by Dr. Thomson, in the improvement of his forenoon's discourse, was such as could not have been ex ceeded on any similar occasion.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.

We have just been informed of a scene of the greatest barbarity that could disgrace a Christian country, which occurred in Killarney during the last week. Two factions, Barrvs and Cliffords, commenced a riot on Christmas Day, which con tinued, with little intermission, until Monday last, which was the fair day. On Monday the town had the appearance of being besieged ; the shops were closed up, business -of every kind suspended ; and we arc informed, that except in the year 1822, when it was expected the town would be stormed by the insurgents, it did not wear such a frightful aspect. About two hun dred of those sanguinary wretches (on both s id e s), with a ferocity horrifying to humanity, attacked each other with sticks, stones, and other missiles, so barbarously, that numbers of them lay stretched in the streets and channels half dead. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on Christopher Gallway, Esq., who was the only magistrate that exerted himself on this occa sion. With only fifteen policemen he used every exertion in his power to quell the riot, but his party were found quite inadequate to the full suppression of it. Mr. Gallway was then obliged to call upon the shopkeepers and other respect able inhabitants, and appoint them special con stables, who immediately sallied forth, and we rejoice to say that by their united efforts peace was in some measure restored.—Tralee Paper.

With a good supply of all Grain, and a dull market, we have experienced very little change in prices of any article of the trade : holders have evinced much firmness, parti cularly in Wheat, and the few sales effected duriug the week have been at fully last Tuesday's prices. The same dulness has pervaded the country markets, whet e the stocks of Flour, especially in ninchester, are accumulating. At this morning's market, which was thinly attended by either town or country millers, the transactions were upon a very limited scale. The few sales i❑ Wheat were on the seine terms as on Tuesday last ; but prices of Oats were about Id. per 45Ihs. lower. The value of Barley, Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn remains the came as uur previous cur rency.

John Murray, Albemarle-street. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 22. DUNLOP v. BUNN. Mr. HORNE (with whom was Mr. SPENCE) de tailed the facts of this case. The defendant was an iron-master residing at Weybridge, Surrey, and had been appointed executor of a person•who bequeathed an extensive property to the mother of the plaintiff and her family. In November, 1819, the defendant went to Glasgow, where Mrs. Dunlop resided, to settle the accounts connected with his executorship. On that occasion he represented his business to be very valuable, especially as he had a contract for three years to supply his Majesty's dock-yards with bolts, &c. and observing that he was old and inclined to admit a partner, offered to receive one of Mrs. Dunlop's sons in that capacity. The old lady, dazzled by the flattering prospect of certain fortune which Mr. Bunn held out to her, paid him 5,0001. as a consideration for the admission of her son into the business as an equal partner with Mr. Bunn. An agreement to this effect was entered into be tween the plaintiff and defendant, on the Ist of Ja nuary, 1820. The plaintiff being, thus settled in the business, the defendant conferred o❑ him, as he made him believe, an additional benefit by making over to him the other half of the business. The terms of this second agreement, which was entered into on the 20th of April, were, that the plaintiff should pay to the defendant in ready money the sum of 2,5001. and moreover a rental of 300/, during the term of the lease under which the premises at Weybridge were held. The plaintiff, after having made these improvident bargains, discovered that the profits of the business had been egregiously overstated by the defendant, and that the contract with Government, instead of being for three years, was only for six months, and determinable on three months' notice on either side. The Navy-office closed the contract at the end of 12 months ; and the plaintiff having had recourse to legal advice, filed a bill praying to be relieved from these engagements. On the bill being filed, the defendant brought an action against the plaintiff for 3001. the amount of one year's rent; and the case having been referred to Mr. Denman, that gentleman was of opinion that the second agreement was founded in fraud, and awarded that instead of the plaintiff pay ing any thing, the defendant should pay to the plain tiff the sum of 3001., the amount of costs, &c. The plaintiff thus got rid of the second agreement, which► was the only matter that, by the terms of the refer ence, Mr. Denman could inquire into; and then the plaintiff filed a supplemental bill praying for relief against the first agreement. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. LOVATT) appeared for the defendant, and contended that the second agreement recognized the first, and precluded the plaintiff from any relief on that score. Mr. HoRNE was about to reply, when The VICE-CHANCELLOR said there would be no necessity for a reply in this case. The opinion of the Court was, that the agreements should be given up to be cancelled-; that the defendant should pay back to the plaintiff 5,0001.; and that, as the agree -4 that sum; that the ment was founded in fraud, he should pay five per ce nt, interest upon plaintiff COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 22. - ROGERS V. TYLER, CLERK. In this case, which was an action for an assault upon the plairitiff at the Vestry-room of St. Giles's in-the-Fields, by the defendant, who is rector of that parish, a: question arose as to whether a select vestry had .existed from time immemorial in that parish. As: the question involved points of some novelty told importance,-it was argued at consider able length, 'and not concluded until yesterday, when the Jury -found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 405., thereby establishing the fact, that there is no select vestry by ancient usage. The apnouncement of -this verdict was received with great satisfaction, by an unusual crowded auditory. AMERICAN MANUFACTURES. (From the Boston Courier.) INTERESTING FACTS.—A gentleman in forms, us that the brig Mars, which sailed from this pori4 , u Monday last for Calcutta, carried out seventy bales of domestic cottons for the Calcutta market. It is a fact, universally notorious, that previ ous to the late war coarse cottons were imported in great abundance from Calcutta, for which specie was sent in payment ; and it was then a matter of surprise that they could be imported at so cheap a rate. It is a fact susceptible of the clearest proof that the price of India cottons before the war, was more than double the present price of Ame rican cottons, leaving the qualities of the respec tive kinds of goods entirely out of the question. India cottons of a width suitable for sheeting, were sold twenty years ago, for thirty-five, forty, and sometimes as high as fifty cents. the yard ; they were exceedingly coarse and thin, and could as easily be seen through as a ladder. American cottons of the same width, of fine, sub tantial durable texture, may be bought for seven teen, and those of extra fineness for twenty-five cents. the yard. Just previous to the late war (1808 to 1812) an article for shirting was imported to a consi derable extent, called British cotton, the most indifferent of which sold for fifty, and the better qualities, from seventy-five cents. to a dollar a yard. American skirtings have driven this article entirely from the market ; for those equal in durability, as well as in delicacy of texture and finish, can be purchased for less than half the money. The investigation might be pursued with re spect to calicoes, ginghams, and other goods manufactured from cotton, aud the same un daunted and indubitable facts exhibit the parallel: So in regard to many articles manufactured from wool. Broadcloths and cassimeres, (the former especially), are from fifty to a hundred per cent. lower than they were previous to the war. A man may now get two coats, for what one then cost, and perhaps have change enough left to buy a handkerchief, a pair of stockings, or even a silk waistcoat. It is no refutation of these facts or the inferences to be drawn from them, to say that the period of which we speak was one when goods of all description were high in consequence of the embargo and non-inter course acts ; there never was a time from the settlement of the country to the close of the war in 1815, when five dollars would purchase more than half the cotton and woollen goods which it will purchase at the present time. Neither will it avail any thing to say that labour and agricultural productions produced more money or higher compensation twenty years ago than they do now, if any one should be fool hardy enough to make the remark. The prices of labour in some branches of mechanics may have depreciated—housewrights and shipwrights, for instance, —though we are not aware that wages are much if any lower now than in the most busy times. In many trades the price of labour has constantly been rising, and has long been at so high a rate, that he who is employed on daily or weekly wages, makes more money than his employer, without suffering any of the trouble or hazard which invariably accompanies the,operations of the principal. As to agricultural products, (we speak parti cularly with reference to those of New England and the middle States) when did they ever com mand better prices ? Those farmers who live adjacent to the large towns, New York, Provi dence, Hartford, Boston, Portland, and others, and even within fifty or sixty miles of those places, are on the high road to wealth, and if they do not reach the goal,—,-the object of every man's toil,--Lthe fault must be in themselves. Beef, pork, ham, butter, milk, cream, veal, mut ton, poultry, are as high as they were ever known to be in our market, and some of these articles bear a price so high as to amount to an actual prohibition of their use, except in the families of the most wealthy members of our community. Two pounds of butter, half a bushel of peas, or a box of strawberries, will purchase a shirt, and a. few dozen of eggs, or a few bunches of aspara gus will put a ruffle on to it. The proceeds of a single waggon load of vegetables, such as are daily brought into the market, and which, in some of our recent warm nights, grow up almost as fast as Jonah's gourd, will furnish a decent and respectable suit of clothes, and a second one will supply a moderate family with tea, coffee, and sugar for a month. We believe we have stated nothing here that is not, in the main, susceptible of demonstration. The application we leave to the good sense and sagacity of the reader. A REGULAR AMERICAN.--We are informed that a gold mine has been recently discovered in Davidson county, containing a vein of the precious metal eighty feet in width. This is the largest vein ever beard of in this qr any other country. They generally vary in width from two to five feet.—Raleigh Register. On Saturday last, ANN, the daughter of Mr. THOMAS CLARK, of the Vauxhall Tea-gardens, new Hessle-road, near this town, died suddenly.—The decclts ed, having quarrelled with her sister, remained up stairs in her chamber till called to join the family at dinner. On coming down stairs she went to the privy; and a consi derable time having elapsed without her returning, some of the family hastened thither and broke open the door. They found her in a state of extreme illness, and convey ed her to her clamber, where she shortly afterwards ex pired. The deceased, we understand was about 2`l• yeats of ae s and of rather irritable temper,Hun Packet, Within the last few dayS, the village of Kew and its vicinity has been thrown into some degree of ex citement by t he discovery of the body of a smartly dressed female floating on the surface of the river, on the Surrey side, about half a mile from Kew bridge. The body was brought ashore about mid day-on Tuesday, and deposited at the King's Arms, near the bridge. It was washed and properly clean ed, but owing to its swollen and rapidly decaying state, the features conk] not be distinguished. The dress worn by the deceased was of au elegant de scription, viz., a Leghorn bonnet richly trimmed, a ;mishit figured gown ; in the cars were gold ear lags, with the new fashionable drops; around the neck a coral necklace, and upon two fingers of each hand was a gold ring, one of them a wedding-ring with a gold keeper : a ruby was set in one of the rings. The deceased is of short stature, and had long black hair. No person whatsoever attended to claim or identify the body. '•Mr. JEMMETT, the Coroner for that division of Surrey, and a respectable Jury, assembled yesterday at the King's Arms Inn, to hold an inquest upon the deceased. The rings and jewellery found upon the deceased were placed upon the table for the examination of the Jury. The body of the deceased was minutely examined by some women, but it was so much decomposed that it was quite impossible to say whether any bruises had been received before death. The teeth' were beantifully white. It was stated to the Jury that a man named Kean could give some important information, and he was called in and sworn. Kean, however, said he could give no information whatever upon the subject. One of the Jury said he had heard him boasting that he knew more than any one else about the de ceased person. Kean replied that all he said was when the dead body was brought ashore—" That surely is Mr. Creed's daughter, of East Sheen." He said so be cause Miss Creed eloped from her father's house three weeks since, and has not since been heard of. The CORONER asked him why he thought the body was that of Miss Creed ?—Kean said that he had no particular reason for thinking so. The bon net found upon the deceased's head was a Leghorn bonnet similar to that he had seen Miss Creed wear. He could not trace the features of the deceased, it was impossible for him or any other man to do so. A Juror asked him if he knew why Miss Creed left her father's house. Kean did not know; she was a gay lively girl, and he thought it likely she had run away with some person. The CORONER asked the witness Kean if he had ever seen Miss Creed wearing any articles of jewel lery ? Kean had not noticed her particularly. She was a very pretty girl. A messenger was sent to East Sheen for Mr. Creed, who arrived in a state of considerable agita; Lion. He stated that about three weeks since, • during his absence, his daughter eloped from his house, and he had not since heard the least tidings of her. He had not seen the deceased, and could not therefore say whether it was his daughter's body. CORONER—Was your daughter ever married ? Mr. Creed—Never to my knowledge. CORONER—Did she ever wear gold rings ? Mr. Creed—l never saw a ring upon her finger in all my Mr. Creed went and viewed the deceased person. Upon his return he said it was not the body of his daughter, or any thing like her. His child was a different kind of person altogether. His daughter never wore such a dress as that found upon the de ceased. The CORONER briefly addressed the jury, observ ing that nothing hut mere conjecture could be formed as to this female's decease. The Jury deliberated a moment or two, and gave a verdict—" That the deeeased female was found (lead in the river near Kew, in Surrey; but the jurors have no evidence how she came to her death." The rings, trinkets, and clothes were given in charge to the overseers, and the deceased was de cently interred in the course of yesterday evening, with the usual funeral rites of the church, PIRACY AND MURDER. The following narrative of the plunder and mur der of the crew of the Phan Fredericka, a Dutch brig of 200 tons, belonging to Haarlem, was detailed by a gentleman just arrived from the Floridas in the Lovely Nancy, now in the Thames : " The Fredericka sailed from Jamaica on the 12th of April last, in charge of Mr. Stein, the mate ; Captain Fredericka, the master and owner, having died at Kingston. There were seven men and two passengers, and the vessel was under orders for Hol land, but had to call at the Havannah for a large freight. The brig kept her course through the Lee ward Passage until the evening of the 20th, when a schooner hove in sight, and kept hovering about the brig the whole of that night.— They were then not two days' sail from the Isle of Cuba, and the schooner appeared to have come from either the Colorados or St. An tonio, to the southward of the Havannah. On the morning of the 21st, at day-light, the schooner was about two miles to leeward, and Mr. Stein, suspect ing her to be a pirate, made all sale from her. How ever, the schooner was too fast, and about twelve o'clock came within half a mile, and hoisting Buenos Ayrean colours, fired a gun. The brig was quite unarmed, and hoved to. The schooner then hailed in English, but not a soul on board understood the language, and the only answer given was hoisting Dutch colours; a boat was then sent from the schooner full of men, and before one o'clock the brig was in possession of the pirate, whose savage acts of barbarity now are to be recorded. The pirates, to the number of thirty, ransacked every part . of the vessel, and took every thing of value they could lay their hands upon. The Dutch sailors, in their own language, remonstrated, but were laughed at by the ruffians, who proceeded deliberately to compel the wretched men to what is termed " walk the plank," This was on the afternoon of the same day they seized the brig. One poor plan, upon being laid hold on by two of the pirates to pinion,blindfold, and fasten a shot to his feet, made a desperate resistance, in which he fixed his grasp upon the throat of one of the ruffians, and they both tnmWed over the side and were drowned, Senor Baptista, of the firm of Ramone, Balcussus, and Baptista, of Havannah, re, monstrated with a short man, who spoke the Spanish language, but from circumstanees Which have since t transpired, was believed to be sto Irishman, and who appeared to be the commander, and endeavoured to, influence him to prevent the Dutchmen being mur ' dered. The ruffian only answered by firing a pistol at his head; but next moment, as if by a retributive Justice, fell dead upon the deck, the other passsenger haviflg plunged a knife suddenly into his back. Five of the Dutchmen, observing the fate of Mr. Stein and two others, ran below, and arming therrnselves with knives, made a determined resistance, but were ovet powered by the pirates, all of whom were welt armed, Before six o'clock in the evening, the whole of the crew of the brig - were thrown into the sea, and one of the passengers, a planter, belonging to Savannah, was stretched, mortally wounded, on the deck. The only remaining one was Senoy .oap. EFFECT OF PASSION. Two men, in the service of Mr. T.:tract - 1 - , at. Douglas Mill, had for some time eyed each otlu with a suspicious look—one was married, and the other single. It would appear that the unmarried man had been suspected of being in the habit of py ing attention to his neighbour's wife; in a na which did not at all tally with his feelings; and an occurrence on Monday last led to a rencontre, which most miraculously was not fatal. The husband had observed his wife go into the toll-houstPthere, to which she was soon followed by the suspected man, not dreaming that his footsteps had been watched. *Keenly alive' to hia , enca and his wife's honour, he quickly followed, for the purpose of an explanation ; but having found the paramour in company wit!► the partner of his bed, his mind was ill able to expostu late, and from high words blows ensued. a paroxysm of rage, the married man ran out for a paling-stub, with which he returned ; when the un married man (the waiter) armed himself with either the tongs or poker in defence. Unfortunately he hit the other man (the ostler) a severe blow, which► is said to have fractured his skull. We have since learned that the affair is not so bad as has been represented; and that the ostler's wife, whom fame reports not to have been the most chaste of her sex, was in the habit of washing for the waiter, and that upon this occasion she had merely gone into the toll-house, in broad day-light, with her charge, whither the waiter followed to shift himself, being just about to leave the place. The ostler and she, it is said, occupied different beds, sat at different , boards, never rode the same horse, and lived any thing but happily.

Some two or three years ago, the newspapers from the South-west announced the discovery, in the valley of the Mississippi, of the remains of some huge animal, such as eye had never seen nor ear heard of, and in comparison of which,. even the Mammoth must have been but a pretty small concern. The story was altogether too great for belief. But still it was true, as we had . ocular demonstration yesterday—a gentleman having requested us to examine some of the bones, now exhibiting at 330, Broadway, a few doors above the Masonic Hall. The largest is one side of an under jaw -bone, which is 20 feet long, by three feet wide, and weighs 1,2001b5. There are a variety, of other bones, including 10 or 15 feet of the vertibrte, or back-bone, which is 16 inches in diameter, and the passage of the spinal marrow, nine by six inches. The ribs are nine feet long, and the other bones in proper= tion. As to the size of the animal which has left such extraordinary remains of its physical structure, we are not sufficiently skilled in Osteo logy to determine. It must, however, have been of a magnitude of which we can scarcely form a conception ; and in a zoological point of view, it is much to be regretted that the whole skeleton was not extracted from the earth in which it must have been so. many thousand years em bedded. But the labour of disembowelling the bones now here was herculean, as they were buried seventeen feet below the surface .of the earth ; and the water made upon the excavators so fast, that a steam-engine must have been pro cured to discharge it. The discovery was owing to one of the bones protruding above the earth. Until the discovery of these bones, those of the Mammoth were the largest of any land animal of which the relics now remain. The tradition of the Indians, respecting the Mammoth, as related by Mr. Jefferson, is well known. "In ancient times," said the Delaware Chief to the Governor of Virginia, " a herd of these tre mendous animals, came to the Big-bone licks, and began a universal destruction of bears, deers, elks, buffaloes, and other animals which had been cl3wroeaanteed enraged, ab f the g oi tel :ltoh u oa s it ! of i nhge down e seized this, war Great NNa de scended on earth, seated himself on a neigbour ing mountain, on a roe of which his seat and the print of his feet are still to be seen, and hurled his bolta among them till the whole were slaughtered, except the big bull, who presenting his forehead to the shafts, shook them off as they fell ; but missing one, at length it wounded him in the side, whereon springing round, ho bounded over the Ohio, over the Wabash, the Illinois, and finally over the , great lakes, where he is living at this day," It is probably the Indians' " big bur who left the huge bones which we have been attempting to describe, and which the curious will find it worth while to go I exami n e for themselves.-IVery York Parer, The town of Spalding has, within the last few days, been highly excited by a discovery Which shocks the feeliugs to contemplate. Two children, the eldest not more than six years old, were left as orphans, (the father emigrating to America, and the mother dead), to the care of their aunt, a woman living at Pinchbeck, whose name we at present forbear to mention. A considerable suns of money was left by the father for the Support of dies,' children, but they soon fell ill, and the boy was released from his miserable situation, by a humane gentleman of Spalding, who, much to his credit, took the child home, arid procured medical advice. The other child was. so dreadfully emaciated that A' surgeon pronounced her incurable. For two months the poor little sot:- ferer was not allowed to, rise from its bed. At length distressing rumours got abroad, some of the neighb ours went in, and, when they examined. the child, found sh e was actually confined to the hed by ropes tied round' her kegs This account spread rapidly, and the infant was taken to Spalding, a dreadful object of commiseration, scarcely bearing the appearance of a human being. She was co vered with plasters from held to foot, partly, it is thought, so conceal the blows of ber inhuman relatives. By kind treatment, however, she rapidly recovered, and is now nearly restored 0. health.

ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY, 1829. The " Mining Corps," or College, is another of the colossal establishments for which the capital is so celebrated. This building is on the Wassiliostrof, fronts the Neva, and commands an extensive view of the whole southern side of the river, from the new navy-yard to the winter palace ; the portico is supported by 12 enormous Doric columns, and is a fine appendage to a part of the city by no means remarkable for architec tural splendour; the interior is admirably ar ranged, not only as a repository for models, spe cimens of minerals, and other things connected with the mines of Siberia, but as a museum for many other curiosities well worthy the traveller's attention. I was fortunately accompanied by a gentleman who was an excellent mineralogist, and well acquainted with the mines of Siberia, which it is well known are now worked on a most extensive scale. In the vaults beneath the building are the models of the principal mines ; bore the position of the lodes of metal, the me thod of working, and the machinery used, are all faithfully described ; in the rooms above are like wise smaller models of these mines, of some of which the section is given ; there are also work ing models of a variety of machines used in mining and for other purposes. The collection of minerals is exceedingly rich, some of the speci mens are enormous, large enough indeed for a cart-load ; amongst them I remarked a mass of native copper, weighing about half a ton ; I un derstand the ore contains 95 per cent. of pure metal, and a large piece is cut out to shew its purity ; there is likewise a single chrystal, at least four feet thick, and a piece, or rather rock, of Malachite, which, from its size, must be of im mense value. There is also a specimen of native gold, discovered in Siberia. the weight of which is 221bs. ; the Russians imagine this to be the largest specimen ever found, but they are mis taken, the Museum of Madrid is enriched by a lump of native gold from the mines of Peru, the weight of which is 271bs. The gold mines of Siberia are rapidly improving, one mine, belong ing to Count Demidoff, yielded last year forty ponds, or 14401b5. of metal. In another depart ment of the Mining College are specimens of arms, and of a variety of implements of Russian metal and manufacture ; I particularly admired a sword, on the blade of which a military triumph is richly chased ; the workmanship is most beau tiful ; there are likewise some small castings, the execution of which is admirable. In a small circular room, the ceiling of which is painted to represent the solar system, is a collection of coins of different ages and nations ; in other rooms there are objects connected with natural history, and a fine collection of philosophical And mathematical instruments. Amongst the miscellaneous objects of curiosity, I remarked a block of wood, in the heart of which some hu man bones were discovered; the wood is cut open to shew the extraordinary way in which the bones are imbedded. Each visitor is required to inscribe his name in a book kept for that purpose. In our way to the Museum we passed the Academy of Arts and Sciences, an edifice of ex traordinary dimensions, and built in the form of a hollow square ; as it is well known that the Arts in Russia are in their infancy, it must be confessed that the fostering care of a maternal government has provided a cradle of the most colossal proportions. We could not procure ad mission to the interior, but I understand there is nothing particularly worthy the traveller's at tention. The colour of this edifice is of a deep yellow, and the architecture fine, but the northern side is not yet finished ; altogether the Academy is a splendid building, and forms one of the most prominent features of the capital. The Museum is exceedingly well worth see ing, and is entirely in character with the other public establishments of the metropolis; the col lection of minerals is extensive. Amongst the objects of natural history is the skeleton of the celebrated mammoth, discovered in a mass of ice on the coast of Spitzbergen ; this antideluvian monster must have been considerably larger than any known animal of the present time ; by the side of the mammoth is exhibited the skeleton of the largest elephant ever brought to Europe, there is a considerable resemblance in the con struction of the two skeletons. Amongst a va riety of curiosities are the skins of two gigantic human beings stuffed ; the appearance of these objects is most revolting and quite unnatural, as the face and figure of a man are scarcely percep tible ; each is a gross caricature on the human form. Numerous as the objects are, the ar rangement of the Museum is bad throughout, ana tomical preparations, minerals, and natural hi s tory, are mingled together, with scarcely any classification or . order. By far the most inte resting part of the Museum,is the exhibition of the working tools, apparatus of different sorts, models of vessels, and other things relating to the pursuits and adventures of the Czar Peter, who was great in every sense of the word, being (according to an admeasurement in the room) of the gigantic stature of six feet seven inches ; in one room is a wax model of the Czar in a chair of state, and (if the exhibition is to be be lieved) clothed in the very dress he wore when living. So much veneration have the Russians for the memory of their great Reformer, that no object, however trivial, is excluded, provided it has some reference to the life and adventures of their idol. The Emperor Alexander, when at Portsmouth, having heard that there was a pub lic-house in that town, which bore the sign of the " Czar of Muscovy," actually purchased the sign, which was soon transferred from its ignoble station to grace the walls of the Imperial museum. Near the museum is the Exchange, which is not only a point of union for commercial men, but the general auction-mart of the capital ; the building is square, somewhat resembling the Parthenon in the style of architecture, but the columns are unfortunately defaced by water spouts, which project about a foot from each pillar, and materially interfere with the classical designs of the architect. The eastern entrance of the Exchange fronts an open space or glacia, where are two elevated rostra' towers, which, however, are more extraordinary than beautiful ; from this spot the view is remarkably fine. Im mediately opposite is the long line of palaces and the Admiralty ; on the left is the i‘ fortress," and the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, the lofty spire of which forms the most prominent object in this view. We next visited the " For tress," which is the " Tower" of the Russian capital, and within its narrow precincts are the mint and the church of St. Peter and st. Paul, which contains the mausoleum of the Imperial Family ; the only beauty in this church is the exceedingly lofty and richly gilt spire,—the in terior, with a degree of inconsistency I cannot account for in this age of improvement, is allowed to fall into decay ; there are no pictures or de corations worth notice. This religious edifice appears, above all others, reserved as a repository for the standards taken in the Persian and Turkish wars ; in the cathedral church of Casan, a few only of these trophies are introduced, merely as an accompaniment to the French and Polish banners, but in the church of St. Peter and St. Paul the numbers are incredible. Un fortunately, we could not procure admission to the mint, where great activity has prevailed for some time past. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From tie Messenyer des . Chambres of July 20.) PARIS, JULY 19.—The Constitutionnel publishes to-day a letter from its correspondent at Bastia, which relates the arrival of Galotti at Naples 36 hours after his departure from Corsica, and his con demnation and sudden execution the day after his arrival, and the hour at which the sacrifice was con summated. The Constitutionnel ardently desires that its correspondent may be mistaken, but this corres pondent is very worthy of credit, and the Minister is silent. These circumstances altogether have in duced it to publish this letter. If we recollect rightly, it was on the 30th of May that Galotti was delivered up to the Neapolitan of ficer. His execution, therefore, must have taken place on the 3d or 4th of June, and not secretly, for this event caused a lively and painful sensation to manifest itself, as if a public calamity bad befallen the country. How could the Constitutionnel imagine that this news should not arrive at Paris till 40 days after wards, and by letters from Bastia ? How came it not to feel some doubt in comparing these dates ? The letter which it publishes, and which gives news from Naples of the 4th of June, is dated the 27th. We can affirm that on the Ist of July Ga lotti bad not even been put upon his trial. . On the 12th of July letters from Constantinople, dated the 26th of June, arrived at Vienna. They say that the two events which the most attracted public attention during the last fortnight were the arrival of the French and English. Ambassadors, and the news from the theatre of war, only that the Go vernment is wholly silent wiih respect to the latter, while it does every thing to impress upon the people the value it attaches to the re-establishment of friendly relations with those two courts ; hence we have only imperfect accounts of the events at Shumla. They merely state that the Grand Vizier, going with part of his army to relieve Silistria, had at tacked, between the 10th and 12th of June, a con siderable Russian corps, which was to cover the siege, and defeated it ; but the enemy's Commander-in- Chief having learned by the capture of a courier of the manoeuvre of the Grand Vizier, assembled, with all possible speed a body of troops so su perior, that he not only deprived the Turks of all their advantages, but of the trophies which they had just obtained, with a number of prisoners, and ten pieces of cannon ; and the Grand Vizier found himself in such a critical situation, that it was with great difficulty, and with a great loss of men, that he succeeded in effecting his retreat through the defiles, and in regaining his head-quarters at Shumla. There is no positive account at Constan tinople either of the day when the battle was fought, or of the loss on either side, or of the present position of the two armies : it is only known that the Grand Vizier is at Shumla, where he is exerting himself to repair his losses. It cannot be concealed that Pravadi remains in the hands of the Russians, who molest the communication of the Grand Vizier with the capital. All this bad news prepares the public to expect the fall of Silistria. There are no accounts from the other points of the theatre of war, nor from Asia. The Turkish fleet, since its cruize in the Black Sea, from which it returned on the 16th June without having met with the enemy, has remained at anchor at the entrance of the Bosphorus. The French and English subjects at Constantinople are now again under the immediate protection of their respective Ambassadors. The Sultan, who still resides at Terapia, cele brated on the 12th of this month the solemn festival of the Kutban-Beiram, under magnificent tents erected on the immense plain between Terapia and Bujukdere. It was there that he received the com pliments of the great officers of state and persons of distinction. There, too, he will give audience to the two Ambassadors who have lately arrived, but the ceremony will be much more simple than usual. The sanatory state of the capital and its environs is perfectly satisfactory, but diseases are said to pre vail in the camp at Shunila, and iii the fleet. (From the Constitutionnel.) The brothers Donato Capozzoli, aged 40, Patricci Capozzoli, aged 39 ; Dominico Capozzoli, aged 28 ; and Pascal Rossi, aged 25, who were tried, not by a regular tribunal, but by a military commission, and condemned to death 011 the 23d of June last, were shot on the 27th at Palinura, on the spot where the telegraph was thrown down in the political dis turbance of the month of June, 1828. The Journal of the Two Sicilies, which speaks of this sanguinary execution, publishes none of the facts charged against the criminals. It confines itself to general terms in speaking of them, as wretches, madmen, incendiaries, such as the Vanni, the Guidobaldi, the Damiani, and their accomplices, employed in speaking of Cirillo, Caracciolo, Manthoni, and all the victims sacrificed by the Neapolitan Juntas, from that of Caccia to that of Speziali. The jour nal says nothing about Galotti; but Pascal Rossi was, like Galotti, a fugitive in France, for Corsica is a department of the kingdom. As in the case of Galotti, it is in violation of the laws of hospitality and the rights of nations that Rossi was given up to the Neapolitan agents, and Rossi has been shot ! VIENNA, JULY 9.—lt is reported upon the Ex change, that the Russian troops had quitted Varna in order to occupy barracks without the city, on ac count of the plague having manifested itself within : this intelligence appears to us to require confirma tion. Letters from Odessa speak strongly of nego tiations for peace, and it is strongly believed that hostilities are about to cease. " The Russian fleet in the Black Sea consists of 58 ships, viz. :—two of 110 guns, one of 84, one of 80, six of 74, three of 60, four of 44, one of 28, one of 23, three of 20, one of IS, one of 15, one of 14, one of 12, nine of 10—carrying in all 1,496 guns. There are besides, belonging to the fleet, four bombs, three yachts, two steam-vessels, and sixteen transports. GIBRALTAR, JULY 2.—M. Bertucci, the Austrian Consul at this place, has addressed a note to the Foreign Consuls at Gibraltar, in which lie informs them that, in consequence of the Emperor of Mo rocco refusing to accept the friendly offers made to him by the Austrian Ambassador, in the name of his august Majesty, the Emperor, his master, will alter the system of moderation which he has pur sued hitherto, and will adopt a firm and hostile' course. Consequently, he declares that the Austrians will blockade some of the ports of the Emperor of Morocco; but as the intention of his august Ma., jesty is not to prejudice the commerce of friendly nations, the blockade will have no other object than to hinder the introduction of arms, warlike stores, &c.

" The late news from Harannah has set curiosity at work to determine whether the invasion of Mexico is seriously contemplated by Spain, or whe ther all this pomp and circumstance's is merely a feint for the accomplishment of purposes best known to the power that moves the springs. For ourselves, we incline to the former opinion, Ist, because it is in perfect keeping with the whole line of conduct pursued by Spain since the inde pendence of her colonies; and 2d, because we can see no object to be gained by a mere feint, which would at all compensate for the trouble and expence of the expedition. To other nations than Spain, it has long been apparent that the possession of her former colonies was for ever lost to her; but she, although holding not a foot of soil on the American continent, has not to this day acknowledged their independence, and seems honestly to suppose that by might of magic, by hook or by crook, she shall yet regain the sovereignty she has lost. The expe dition fitting out at Havannah is a legitimate result of this infatuation ; and supposing it destined against Mexico, is at least as well contrived, and as promptly got up, as most other expeditions set on foot by his Catholic Majesty for the maintenance or recovery of his dominion in the West. Not that we suppose there is the least chance of success, although doubt less a landing may be effected, and possibly as much suffering occasioned to the Mexicans as will be ex perienced by the invaders. But what are 5,000 men for the invasion of such a country as Mexico ? And as to the 20,000 troops from Spain, who are to rein force the expedition, it is probable but few or none of them will ever arrive. " No argument, however, can be drawn against the probability of the proposed undertaking, from the hopelessness of success, for counting the cost is not a matter with which the King of Spain is fa miliar, either in affairs of a political or financial na ture. Driven on by a blind destiny—the same which has reduced his country from being the mis tress of Europe, to such a state of depression that it scarcely occupies a place in the calendar of nations— encouraged, perhaps, by the late disorganizing move ments in Mexico—and writhing under the loss of 8,000,000 dollars per annum, which he used to re ceive from it as a reward for his oppression—how can it be thought strang►e, that with the feeble means which he possesses, he should attempt once more to bring it under subjection ? To this course he would be urged the rather, by the remonstrances which have been, or are likely to be, made by other European Governments, in accordance with nu merous petitions from their respective subjects, against refusing to acknowledge the independence of the new republics, notwithstanding he had ceased all efforts to regain them. " The folly of this expedition appears to have been well understood by Governor Vives and Admiral Laborde, who (according to an unpublished letter from Havannah), after receiving the first order to make a descent upon Mexico, took upon themselves the responsibility of postponing its execution until they should have represented to his Majesty the dangerous nature of the undertaking, and begged his reconsideration of the purpose he had formed. His reply was a peremptory repetition of the order. " If it be supposed that the expedition is only intended as a feint, we ask what can be the object of such a feint ? Not, surely, to intimidate the Mexicans into submission ; for this would be more ridiculous than even the proposed invasion. No to make an attack upon Colombia; for there an army would be met, quite as efficient, if not so numerous, as that of Mexico ; while the possession of the country, if by possibility it should be re-conquered, would be of far less value. These are the only Spanish Republics which lie within the region of the point of attack, except Guatemela ; which un doubtedly has shown itself worthy of being re-com mitted to the arms of its tyrant mother, though we doubt if she would be anxious to receive it.

The sales of indigo at the East India House have terminated this morning, and with somewhat better appearances than those they commenced with. The improvement in price in the latter part of the sales has been chiefly in the finer qualities; but of the inferior sorts the greater proportion, it is supposed, has been bought in.

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.-- Thursday, about one o'clock, a distressing accident occurred on the river, about two miles east of Greenock, attended with the loss of several lives. A pleasure boat, belonging to Mr. JOHN M'INTYRE, founder, Glasgow, cutter-rigged, while sailing off the pottery, was, in consequence of neglecting to put sufficient ballast on board, and a strong breeze blowing off the shore, upset, and all on board precipitated into the water. The accident was observed by some indi viduals from the shore, who inunediately gave the alarm, and a boat was procured from a gabbert lying at the pot tery, and sent off to their assistance, but only in time to pick up Mr. 11.1 6 1wrirnE, and ROBERT DUNCAN, a carpen ter in Greenock—the four othe rs h a v ing sunk before as sistance could come to their aid. The two thus rescued were immediately conveyed to the shore, Mr. WlNirvitE in a state of insensibility, and every endeavour made to restore them, but Mr. WINTvitE died in the course of twenty minutes after being taken out of th e water; DUN CAN they happily succeeded in recovering. Of the four who perished when the boat sunk, three were riggers, but we have as yet only as certained that one o f them was WILLIA3I T U LLOCH , of Crawtordsdyke;:the fourth was Hicrnii WlNTraz, nephew of the gentleman drowned. None of their bodies had been found yesterday evening.— Glasgow Free Press. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1829. By the Flanders mail, which arrived late this afternoon, we have received the following Bulle tin from the Theatre of War in the East ; we have not time for comment:— NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. VIENNA, JULY 11. In addition to the news of the surrender of Sills tria, we have received the following Russian bulletin from the camp at Jeudschi-Kioi, before Shumla, dated June 24: " The Grand Vizier, who, on the 2d day after his defeat, succeeded in returning to Shumla at the head of a small detachment of cavalry, makes vain exer tions to organize an army. The fugitives who suc ceed in returning to the fortress in small parties, are not in sufficient number to fill up the immense chasm in the ranks. Besides, most of the soldiers, as well of the regular as the irregular corps, have taken advantage of the defeat to endeavour to return to their own houses, so that of 40,000 men that the Grand Vizier had before Pravadi scarcely 15,000 will have returned to their colours. Our army are waiting the issue of the siege of Silis tria, in a position to observe the movements of the Turks, and to hinder them from interrupting, even for a moment, the operations of the besieging corps. Meantime the enemy, terrified by his defeat at Kulertscha, remains shut up in Shumla, and has not even ventured to attempt any thing against Lieu tenant-General Prince Madatoff, who, at the head of 16 squadrons, advanced, on the 16th of this month, to Eski Dschuma, which he found deserted." Accounts from Bucharest, of June 28, mention that General Geismar, after taking Rachova, sent, on the 19th of June, a detachment, consisting of a regiment of dragoons and 350 Cossacks, to check the Turks on the right bank of the river Iskra, nd to pursue Hussein Paella, who had fled from Ra chova. This detachment succeeded in dispersing a body of 200 Turks, from which they took one standard and 37 prisoners. The RuSsians afterwards attacked a detachment of 500 Turks, most of whom fell in the action. O❑ the 25th of June some Turks sallied from Ghiurgevo, who were driven back, and 15 killed or taken prisoners. The Austrian Observer, in a note upon the reflec tions of the Courier on the King's Speech, at the prorogation of Parliament, says—" According to accounts from Egina, of the 30th May, Count Capo D'lstria had positively rejected all the proposals made to him, conformably to the above stipulations by M. Dawkins, the English Resident, respecting the revocation of the Greek blockades, the recall of the Greek troops from the Continent to the Peloponaesus, and the cesstion of all further hostili ties against the Porte." BERLIN, JULY 17. The Prussian Stales Gazelle of this date contains no further news from the thEatre of war.

We extract the following from the Nuremburg Correspondent : " It is said that the Emperor of Russia has sent an extraordinary Envoy to Constantinople, to de liver an Ultimatum to the Sultan, and to make him sensible of his situation. This message is stated to announce to him that the Porte, if it consents to the demands of Russia, will find in the Emperor a friend to the Divan as ardent as he has hitherto been an enemy; that lie will act in all his relations with the greatest precision; that the Porte must not reckon upon other auxiliaries, nor draw favourable infer ences from the inaction of some States. It is added that an Extraordinary Envoy from Prussia is to support these representations. L► fact, Lieutenant- General Muffling has just left Berlin upon a secret mission, with a travelling companion. They appear both to expect to make a voyage by sea." The French Papers contain little decisive in telligence. A letter, dated Vienna, June 9, and inserted in the Constitutionnel, states, there is a report upon the Exchange that the Russian troops had evacuated Varna, for the purpose of occupying barracks without the city, on ac count of the plague having manifested itself w i t hi n . This report the Constitutionnel seems i n clined to disbelieve. The same Journal observes, that letters from Odessa speak strongly of negotiations for peace, and that it is strongly believed that hostilities are about to cease. This fact we as strongly disbelieve; the Russians are too strong, and the Turks too weak, to render this report pro bable. The two parties must meet on more equal terms than they do at present, before such rumours can be justly credited. American Papers have been received ; they are chiefly filled with speculations respecting the probability or otherwise of the King of SPAIN'S reported intention of invading Mexico. The New York Journal of Commerce inclines to the opinion that the " Beloved " is serious in his resolution to invade Mexico. We know that the " Beloved " is fully equal to any absurdity, provided it be tainted with fanaticism, but we should suppose that even he would pause before he rushed into such an enterprise as this—so hopeless—so ruinous—so preposterous. The Post of this morning, in an article com menting upon the LORD-LIEUTENANT Of IRELAND'S late Proclamation, takes occasion to observe, " We maintain it cannot be wrong, per se, in any of the King's subjects, let them be situated where they may, to manifest in a manner the most open, public, and if they please, ostentatious, those particular opinions, political or religious, by virtue of which GEORGE IV. has a right to the Throne upon which he sits."—" These events are as legitimate subjects of triumphant and joyful commemoration, wherever the sceptr e of the House of Hanover extends, as the frustration of the Gunpowder Plot, the memory of which is consecrated in our Liturgy, or as the recent glories of Trafalgar or Waterloo." These two points the justice of which our cotemporary insists on with an emphasis more adroit than reputable, involve two of the grossest fallacies we ever re member to have perused. In the first place, the Orange processions of the 12th are any thing but the commemoration of those opinions "by virtue of which GEORGE IV. has a right to the Throne upon which he sits." They have no more to do with them, than the blushes of an Irish potatoe with the ruin of Great Britain. Whatever they may once have been, the case is now, and has been for years, materially altered. The Cumberland men meet, as is well known, on the 12th, not for the purpose of celebrating bloodlessly, and in a grateful spirit, the benefits conferred on Ireland by the Restoration ; but for the purpose of renewing the factious spirit of past times, of keeping alive a system of ascen dancy, and reluming those embers of discord which else would become speedily extinguished. They meet in order to show Ireland that they are the masters, and the Catholics the slaves of the north ; that as they have been for years, so will they still continue to be, in the ascendant, notwithstanding that their processions are in law illegal, in common sense, indefensible, in spirit, ungenerous to a degree beyond expres sion. This is the purpose for which they meet ; not to commemorate the peaceful triumphs of Protestantism—for with these they have nothing in common but the name—not to perpetuate the recollection of the worthier deeds of their ances tors ; but to insult, tyrannise, and massacre, and prove to the world, how, by persevering and settled malignity, a nation, years after legitimate authority has been established, and when there is nothing left to fight for, can still be kept in a state little short of anarchy and civil war. This, we repeat, is the sole purpose for which the Orangemen publicly commemorate the 12th. Our cotemporary's next point is, that the Irish Brunswickers are as fully justified in commemo rating the 12th as in commemorating the glories of Trafalgar and Waterloo. Granted, were the commemoration as peaceably and gratefully con ducted, or were its nature as unequivocal. But is this the case ? Are the two commemorations analagous ? Are the results as tranquil—as gratifying—as elevated ? Do the Orange pro cessions of the 12th feed the soul with lofty and generous associations ? Do they keep alive a pure, thankful spirit of patriotism ? Do they swell, without inflating, the national spirit in the same way as Trafalgar or Wa terloo, where England's naval supremacy was established, and peace, through her, was re stored to an oppressed world. If they do, if their commemorations be really as inoffensive and praise-worthy, why then the late Proclama tion on the subject ? Why are lives annually lost—houses burnt to the ground—families plundered—ruined--massacred—whole counties driven into a state little short of actual rebellion ? Why—but it is idle to pur sue the subject ; the two commemorations are as diametrically opposed to each other as the politics of the Morning Jour nal to common sense. The commemoration of Trafalgar or Waterloo is the commemoration of a grand and heart-stirring national achievement ; that of the 12th, by the Irish Orangemen, is the commemoration of an odious system of ascen dancy, which can only cease to be disgraceful when it ceases to be remembered. Letters from Madrid, to the 10th inst., state that arrests still continued in Catalonia, and that a number of persons had been thrown into the citadel of Barcelona. The Count d'OFA LTA had not left Madrid up to the 9th, and it was supposed he would not set out for Paris before the 18th. Advices from Bourbon state that the met• chants of that colony had resolved upon solicit• ing of the French Government, the establish' ment of a Chamber of Commerce there. Thes e accounts reach to the 2d of April. We have letters from Santiago de Chili of th e 16th April ; business was very flat and money scarce. In Chili a hard dollar was scarcely t° be met with ; copper was at 17 dollars, and 0 board at 21 dollars. By the official returns published this morning' we learn that the duty en Foreign Wheat is Ss' per quarter above the previous returns. Th is grain is now admissable at a duty of 16s. 6 'l' per quarter, being an advanced rate of 6s. per quarter within the last fortnight. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY': FROM LLOYD'S.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. NEW KING'S COUNSEL. Messrs. TINNEY, PEMBERTON, KNIGHT (of the Chancery), and LAW (of the Common Law Bars), were sworn in as King's Counsel before the LORD URANCELLOR, in his private room, before the Court s at. After his Lordship took his seat they were called, according to the usual form, within the bar. JONES V. DESANGES. In this case an application was made to the Vice- Chancellor for leave to amend, by striking out the na me ?f one of the plaintiffs as a plaintiff, and to have it inserted as a defendant. The question de pended upon whether the c ase came w i t hi n t h e 15 t h of th e new order; if it did, then it had been said, the conditions of the 15th had not been fulfilled. These conditions were distinct and comprehensive, the case came within them, they had not been ful iled, and consequently his Honour had done right In refusing the application. The present appeal it Was necessary also to dismiss. The question, how ever, was one of doubt, so that the Court could not give costs. WELLESLEY v. DUKE OF BEAUFORT. The LORD CHANCELLOR having seen Mr. Wel lesley seated behind the Solicitor-General, said, " have seen Mr. Ebden in the presence of the Solici tor-General and Mr. Wellesley. From the conver sation I then had with him, and also from a written co mmunication I have since had from him, it ap pears to me, from what took place the last time those young gentlemen were at Seagry, it would not he prop er for them to pass the present vacation there. It must, therefore, be referred to the Master T, e mlnire where th e y ou g ht t o p ass th e vaca ti on .— , e ne oth er parts of the petition must stand over to u heard in regular order." Mr. Wellesley objected to its going to the Master, as a question that ought to have been disposed of in aye minutes was sent to the Master, and remained before him for six months. Th e LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that it ought to go the Master. The SOLICITOR GENERAL had no desire that it should be sent to the Master. se Mr. Wellesl e y care d not w h ere t h e c hild ren weret h nt to, provided they were not allowed to go near air estates. The Court might send them to any pot in Europe. The LORD CHANCELLOR then said, as both sides were unwilling that the time should be consumed in g o ing before the Master, he would see Mr. Ebden, and after another conversation with him, would him "lf name a place for them to pass the vacation at. The SOLICITOR GENERAL again pressed to see the communication made by Mr. Ebden. He con sidered it impossible for him to discharge his duty to his clients unless he knew the full arid distinct grounds on which the Court acted. The LORD CHANCELLOR was decidedly of opinion that neithe r the Solicitor General nor his clients ou ght to see t h e statement. If i t was shewn to t h e one side it would have to be dis closed to the other ; and it it were, then .it would be circulated throughout the country, through the newspapers, and such a proceeding would be 'very injurious to the young gentlemen themselves. The SOLICITOR GENERAL would pledge himself to concealment on his part and that of his clients. Mr. Wellesley had no objection to the Court G'landing Mr. Ebden's letter to the S o li c it or .. ener a l. The LORD CHANCECLOR said, if both parties in sisted on seeing it they should, but not without. The SOLICITOR GENERAL, after what had fallen from the Court, would not insist on an inspection; hut i n f uture would certainly beg, at all hazards, to have distinctly disclosed and stated the grounds on which the Court proceeded. Mr. Wellesley wished to know whether his peti tion, as to the remaining part of it, might stand at th e head of the paper for the next petition day ? The LORD CHANCELLOR said it stood second, and would have to keep its place. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Mr. Tinney, Mr. Pemberton, Mr. Knight, and the Hon. Charles Law, who have been appointed King's Counsel, took their seats within the bar, With the usual formalities. The Court. was occupied the entire morning hear. !II arguments in a tithe cause, of not the least pub lie interest, it s is likely to occupy the whole day. ROLLS COURT, At the sitting of the Court this morning, Messrs. Tinney, Pemberton, Law, and Knight, having been appointed King's Counsel, were called within the bar, in the usual form, by the Master of the Rolls. IMPORTANT TO TRUSTEES.—FRANCE V. WOODS. In this case the testator, a gentleman Possessed et great property in the county of Lancaster, by his ‘vill left the bulk of it to his wife, and after her de cease, to a gentleman of the name of Wilson France, r esidiu g in Preston, and practising the profession of the law there, with remainder to his first son, in t ail male. Directions were also given as to the di stribution of the testator's personal estate, the r esidu e of which, after satisfying the several charges, cr eated upon it by the testator, w a s to be l a id ou t b • Y his trustees in the purchase of real estate. Two gentlemen of the names of Wood and Pering, living - a ( , Lancaster and Kendal, were appoint e d t rus t ees . S everal large sums were vested in the public funds in their names, and for the purpose of carrying the `ishes of the testator into effect they had entered in to a negociation for the purchase of an estate. In order to complete this negociation, the trustees sold out several large sums of money, and placed them in th e hands of Messrs. Worsick and Co., bankers at Preston, who had formerly been the bankers of the testator. Some delay took place in the pre- Parations of the writing, during which Messrs. Worsick and Co. became bankrupts, and the money p la ced i n th e i r h an d s was lost. A Bill was filed for th e Purpose of compelling the trustees to refund the loss, a reference was made to the Master, who re ported in favour of the now liability of the trustees, and the matter came before the Court this morning Upon exceptions to the Master's report. The MASTER of the ROLLS, in giving judgment, Observed that he should be doing great injury to so ciety in general, if he were to allow the exceptions. It would be the means of preventing persons from accepting an office, so important in the administra tion of estates as that of a trustee. These gentle- Men had acted in conformity with the wish of the testator, and it would be an extremely hard thing to Afty they were bound to refund this money in con . a es.l4ence of the occurrence of an event which no °He could foresee. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. DOE DEM. GREETHAM V. BELL. This was an action of ejectment to recover pos 4ssion of the house No. 10, Homer-street, Maryle -13,0ne. Th e quest i on was so l e l y one o f pe di gree, an d h ad been twice tried before. Among the witnesses was a sturdy old Yorkshire 'An of 76. He had undergone a long examination kid in his cross-examination by Sir J. SCARLETT, 45 to a member of the plaintiff's family visiting an ther member, with whom the witness lived at the time; he had stated that when the former, Jerry s ir eetham, came to the latter he must have stopped "le time, as he generally brought five or six pair pf shoes and a quantity of other clothes with him. W 9 or three questions as to Jerry's age and appa era relationship were repeated, and the witness t yidentl y begin to wax ‘varm. Sir J. Scarlett con °Ned questioning him. The ATToRNET-GENRAL—,Theu I suppose, uerry was a great man when he used to come there? Witnes s • Why, I suppose he was, for he had a great bell y.- This answer threw the whole Court into a roar of laughter, in which even the dignity of the Bench f a g comp rom i se d. Si r J ames S car l ett appeare d to eel its aptness, and sat down after two more unim- Portant questions. The case is expected to occupy two days. LEWES MARKET.—JuIy 21. Beef :ls. &I. to 4s. 2d.

The Opera of Guy Mannering was last night re vived at this theatre, on which occasion Miss FORDE represented Julia Mannering. She went through her part with much spirit and elegance of manner; and in her two favourite songs of " The Minstrel Boy" and " The Light Guitar," was warmly and deservedly encored. This young lady, to a sweetly-toned and powerful voice, adds much feeling and feminine softness : she seems thoroughly imbued with the spirit of melody, and has the great and rare art of impressing this fact upon her audience. Mr. MELROSE, in the cha racter of Harry Bertram, introduced the effective air of " Marmion's Death," and threw into the line " now trebly thundering swelled the gale," infinite force and expression. The way in which he suffered his voice to linger on the word " swell" showed taste and no slight power of discrimination. Mr. DAVIDGE made an excellent Dominie Sampson; but the part is hardly worthy of him. It is at best but a grotesque skeleton without character or substance. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.

JESTY visits the menagerie at Sandpit-gate nearly every day, and remains there a considerable length of time, always with reference to the health of this rare animal, which is considerably improved, in consequence of some suggestions relating to its food and treatment, made by the KING him self; still it is doubted whether it will survive tu the end of the year. The Duke and Duchess of CL ARENCE, ac companied by the Duchess of SAXE WEInAR, left their residence in Bushy-park, on Tuesday morning, for Frog more-lodge, the residence of the Princess AUGUSTA. After being joined by the Princess the party proceeded to the Royal Lodge in Windsor-park, to pay their respects to his MAJESTY. The Royal party afterwards went to Wind sor Castle, and were conducted over that edifice, which occupied them a considerable time in its inspection. On leaving the Castle the party went to Virginia Water, and visited the Hermitage. Prince CHARLES Of LEININGEN (son of the Duchess of KENT), arrived at the King's Palace, at Ken sington, on Tuesday afternoon, from Dover, on a visit to the Duchess of KENT. The Princess AUGUSTA came to town to her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, yesterday morning, from Frogmore-lodge. Her Royal Highness visited the Princess SOPHIA at her apartments in the King's Palace, at Kensington, and partook of a dejeune with her Royal sister ; and in the afternoon took her de parture on a visit to the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, at Bagsbot-park. The Duchess of KENT entertained a select party to dinner yesterday, at her residence in the King's Palace, Kensington. The Earl of ABERDEEN and Mr. Secretary PEEL had interviews with the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER yesterday. The Right Hon. STRATFORD CANNING transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On the even ing of the 21st, at his Lordship's residence in Portman square, were married by special licence, by the /tight Hon. Lord FREDERIC BEAUCLERC, M. A.

EDWARD METRE, youngest son of the late ROBERT EDWARD Lord PETRE, to LAURA MARIA, fourth daughter of the Right Hon. Lord and Lady STAFFORD. There were present at the marriage the relatives of the two Noble Families—those of HOWARD, PETRE, STAFFORD, JERNINGIIAM, DILLON, CLIFFORD, NEVILLE, and GAGE. Mrs. FITZHERBERT was also pre sent at the ceremony, soon after which the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. EDWARD PETRE left town for Lord DURHAM'S villa, at Wimbledon. THE " UNKNOWN" AT CHATHAM.—A young man, supposed to be the same who has so lately been in the habit of attending the most fashionable evening parties in London unintroduced, made his appearance in Chatham garrison on Thursday last, under the following circumstances :—When he alighted from the coach in Chatham, observing an Officer standing by, he inquired of him if his brother, an Officer in the army also, mentioning a name he knew would be familiar, had left Chatham. Upon the Officer replying that he hail, a con versation ensued, ending in a polite invitation to the stranger to dinner, which was, of course, accepted, and in the evening a bed was provided for him at a neighbour ing inn, and a request made that he would favour them with his company at breakfast on the following morning. the meantime it came to the knowledge of the Officer that a relative of the gentleman whose brother the stranger had introduced himself as was then residing in the barracks. and to him the invitation to breakfast was kindly extended. When, however, the breakfast time arrived, and the stranger was introduced to his cousin, he found it quite im possible to recognise his relative, and without waiting to acknowledge the hospitality of his host, or go through the tedious ceremony of explanation, instantly took his depar t ure. —.Kentish Gazette, NEGRO SLAVERY. (EXTRACT FROM THE ANTI-SLAVERY REPORTER FOR JUNE, 1829.) _ " At one o'clock of the morning of the sth inst. in a very thin House, Mr. Qtway Cave moved the following Resolutions, which were negatived with out a division, and, indeed, without a debate, if we except some weighty preparatory obs e r va ti o n s o f th e Honourable Mover . "—(Here the Resolutions are given.) " We respect the motives which have influenced Mr. Otway Cave on this occasion. We must still, however, think the course he has pursued unfor tunate, and the time ill chosen. Who could ever have supposed it possible, that after a Session of four months' duration, a motion of which formal notice had been given in the preceding session, a motion, too, of such vital importance, and big with so many vital interests, would at last have been shuffled into a corner; that at the unseasonable hour of one o'clock in the morning, on almost the last day of the session, when no rational hope could be entertained of a beneficial discussion or a favourable result, when the House had been nearly emptied, resolutions so momentous, and so sure to be opposed, should have been brought forward and attempted to be passed ? Such a course was hardly fair either to the friends or the opponents of our cause; and not even dream ing that such a thing was within the verge of pos sibility, almost every individual who felt an interest in the question had withdrawn; though, had they remained, they could only have used their influence to induce the mover to select a fitter time for his propositions, to which, independently of this circum stance, we ourselves could not but be favourable." —Anti-Slavery Reporter.; In reply to the above remarks (apparently intend ed as excusatory of the conduct of what is called the Anti-slavery party in the House of Commons, on the occasion of their opposition to or extraordinary dereliction from the principle of the Resolutions preposed by Mr. Cave' on the evening of the 4th of June,) it may not be inexpedient to point out some few of the inaccuracies and inadvertencies into which the writer of those remarks has fallen. That the Session was of four months' duration is true, but it is well known that the first part of it was wholly absorbed by the Catholic Question. The duration of the Session for other purposes, therefore, must be calculated for the 21st of April (about nine weeks), and Mr. Cave brought on bis motion three weeks before its termination. On the first of June, it will be seen by the published notices, that Mr. Cave gave notice for the 2d of June. On the 2d, at the request of a Member of the Govern ment, he postponed it to the 3d, and on the 3d his attempt to bring it on was objected to by the leaders of the Anti-Slavery party. In their presence it was again postponed to the 4th, with the understanding that it should then positively come on. Pursuant to this positive understanding, on Thurs day, the 4th instant, in a House for the time of the year and under the circumstances of the case, un. usually full, Mr. Cave moved his resolutions, which were not negatived, until a division and a short de bate had taken place; in which Messrs. Huskisson, Wm. Smith, Lumley Saville, Sir George Murray, and Mr. Goulburn, took part. That it was hoped that the resolutions would be negatived without a division, is .probable, as in that case the desertion of the cause by individuals would have escaped notice. But the Morning He rald, June Gth, in alluding to Mr. Cave's motion, gives the following extract from the Journals of the House of Commons, which shews that the resolu tions were not negatived " without a division." " For the division the noes went forth. Mr. 0. Cave was appointed one of the tellers for the year, but no other Member remaining in the House to be a second teller for the year, the noes returned into the House, and Mr. Speaker declared that the noes had it." So far from his motion having been " shuffled into a corner," every means have been taken, both pri vately and publicly, to ensure for it a sufficiency of Parliamentary attendance and support, as will appear from the subjoined statement of a member of the Anti-Slavery Committee, whose authority is unim peachable, and whose name is forthcoming if neces sary. ‘ As early as February I brought forward a mo tion in the Amti-Slavery Committee, the object of which was to secure the support of the Society and all its friends, both in and out of Parliament, to the principle involved in Mr. Cave's notice of motion. My proposition was, however, like Mr. C.'s, nega tived." It does certainly appear, that the leaders of the Anti-Slavery Committee, who rejected the above proposition, are bound to give their reasons for so doing to the great party in the country which they profess to represent. They will do well at the same time to explain why nothing had been done in Par liament this year, why the annual meeting which had been actually fixed for the 2d of May, was suddenly and mysteriously abandoned, and how it has hap pened that the facts connected with Mr. Cave's re 'solutions are thus strangely represented. That en the evening of the 4th, when the motion was actually made, the leaders of the Anti-Slavery party in the House could not possibly have been taken by surprise—as is clearly insinuated by the tenour of the article in the Reporter, —may be seen by any one who will take the trouble to refer to any of the official documents of the Parliamentary pro seedings of the day previous, or to the reports of the debates as given in the Mirror and public Newspapers. _ (From the Times, June 4.) " Mr. 0. Cave rose (last night) for the purpose of bringing forward a proposition to declare that children born of slave parents in his Majesty's Co lonies, after a certain period, should be free. " Mr. Brougham, Sir J. Mackintosh, and Mr. F. Buxton, recommended the Hon. Member to with draw his motion under existing circumstances. " Mr. 0. Cave declared his determination to per severe. " The gallery was cleared for a division, but none took place, as, on the suggestion of several Hon. Members, Mr. 0. Cave agreed to postpone his mo tion till tomorrow (this day), with the understand ing that it should then positively come on." Left as he was in ignorance of the motives by which the party were now actuated, Mr. Cave could not do otherwise than follow a former exhortation of its eloquent leader, Mr. Brougham, who, in the debate upon Mr. Buxton's resolutions in the year 1823, made use of the following forcible and memor able expressions on the subject. ' 6 It seems to me now to be the imperative duty of a legislature, to pass some act with respect to the freedom of unborn children. We shall be wanting in our duty to that part of our fellow subjects, if we do no not immediately announce our intention of taking up that part of the subject. Difficulties doubtless will be to be encountered; difficulties there are in every change; but are they insurmount able ? I trust that no man will be stopped by them, who does not wish to be impeded." That Mr. Cave's motion was not made on " al most the last day of the session," will appear from the fact that Parliament was prorogued on the 24th of June, and that consequently an interval of about three weeks elapsed between the close of the Ses sion and the day on which Mr. Cave renewed his notice; that halfrpast twelve was not an unusually late hour for proceeding with business is well known; and Mr: Cave was prevented from bringing on his motion earlier by a long and very unusual discussion, which was raised on a petition present ed by Mr. Brougham. But after what had passed the night hefore betwee n Mr. Cave, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Buxton, and Sir J. MaCkintoSh, does the editor of the Anti-Slavery Rep - prier . really mean to insinuate that if the hour had been earlier Mr. Cave's motion . would have been supp,orted 2 Does the Editor Mean to say that if Mr. CaVe 6' had selected a fitter time," " h e himself could not be favourable" to the propo sitions, after what had passed months before in the Committee ? On the same evening, Mr. w. Hor ton went at length into the subject of his impo}•taut motion respecting our surplus population. On the 2d Lord BlandforJ brought on his important re solutions on Parliamentary reform, and on the Ist of June, Sir J. Mackintosh brought on his import ant motion respecting our relations with Portugal, When the House sat till a quarter before four o'clock in tha morning. Yet, these gentlemen are not charged with unreasonable hours, or delaying their motions till almost the last day of die session. That the House was not " nearly empty," will also appear from the circumstance, that a majority of forty-five was still left in it to oppose the carry ing of the resolutions, exclusively of a considerable number of what is called the Anti-Slavery party, who had thought proper suddenly and simultane ously to leave their places, both on the coming on of the motion, and while the gallery was clearing for the division. It was impossible for Mr. Cave to know that his resolutions were " so sure to be opposed," because more than one member of the party alluded to, who either voted and canvassed against him, or went away as the division was taking place, had up to the very day on which he brought forward his proposi tion, repeatedly and unreservedly promised him countenance and support. Here then is a notice of a motion for the 2d—on the 2d it is postponed to the 3d—and the attempt to bring it forward on that evening gives rise to a discussion between Mr. 0. Cave, Mr. Brougham, Sir J. Mackintosh, and Mr. F. Buxton, which ends in an express understanding that this motion shall positively be made on the evening of the 4th ; and yet, suppressing all these facts, the Anti• Slavery Reporter informs his readers that on the evening of the 4th almost all those who felt an interest in the question had withdrawn, not even dreaming that such a thing as Mr. Cave's motion was within the verge of possibility ! ! Can any one believe that be fore those gentlemen withdrew, they did not look round and see Mr. Cave in his place, actually wait ng to make this undreamed-of motion ? Can any one suppose, after the understanding of the preceding evening, that they would not have taken the trouble to ask him whether from any cause he had changed his intention, if they had even entertained a doubt on the subject ? Is it possible that these gentle men should have gone away, not even dreaming that Mr. Cave's motion was within the verge of pos sibility ? COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. A meeting of the creditors of this theatre was held yesterday in the saloon, pursuant to notice. _ _ Mr. MOORE was Galled to the Chair. Mr. LOWDHAM said, it became his duty, as one of the solicitors for Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, to explain to the gentlemen what had been done since the last meeting, to state what steps had been taken to arrange the affairs of the theatre, and to describe the situation in w hi c h th ose i n di v iduals now found themselves placed. He assured the meeting that the gentlemen whom he this day re presented disclaimed all idea of dictating to the cre ditors, but would most cheerfully concur in any measure which might be proposed by the parties interested, with a view to the settlement of the af fairs of the theatre. On the 28th of June last a letter was addressed to the solicitors of the other two co-proprietors, Messrs. Harris and Const, ap prising them of the resolution which the creditors had agreed to at the meeting held on the 27th of June, and pointing out the necessity of the co-ope ration of all the proprietors, for the purpose of meet ing the claims of the creditors. Although no answer was received to this communication, still it was deemed advisable to address a second letter to the solicitors of the parties, which was accordingly done. In that letter Messrs. Harris and Const were called on to come to some arrangement, " in order that the property should not be wasted; but that it should he placed in such a situation as would enable the proprietors to meet the demands of the credi tors, which could be done without prejudice to any claims that had been set up by the proprietors, and which were not yet adjudicated." No reply was received from Mr. Harris or his solicitor, until within a few hours, when he saw a letter from that gentle man, published in the Morning Post, similar to that distributed through the room. From Mr. Const's so licitors a most polite answer was received, which he would read to the meeting.—(The letter censur ed as unbecoming the conduct pursued by the soli citors of Messrs. Kemble Willett, and Fo r b e s, i n not addressing Mr. Const himself, and concluded by stating that the communication which drew forth this reply was returned unread). Such was the polite answer of these gentlemen, whose names he would forbear to mention. It was not his intention, on the part of Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, to state the nature of their dispute with the co proprietors. He would only show to the meeting, that if difficulties stood in the way of an arrange ment, they were not of those gentlemen's seeking, who were most willing to take any step that would be beneficial to the creditors. It was necessary to state that the property was so situated, that it could not be brought into the market for sale without the consent of all the parties. There were difficulties about Mr. Harris's share; and, independent of that, Mr. Const had, by his bill in Chancery, caused a receiver (Mr. Robertson) to be appointed. Now, unless this was got rid of, it was clear that no per son would take the theatre. Messrs. Kemble, Wil lett, and Forbes, had done every thing in their power to have the receiver withdrawn, but they had not succeeded. The creditors, might, however, compel the parties to do a great deal, which the parties themselves could not force each other to per form. If it were the opinion of the creditors that the theatre should be sold, he feared, looking to the magnitude of the property, that it would be found rather a difficult thing : and some arrangement must in the first instance be entered into with respect to the receiver. The account of the receipt and ex penditure during the last season, which was not ready when the former meeting was held, had been made up, and from that account it appeared that Messrs.Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, bad last season sustained a seri ous loss, a loss of some thousands of pounds. He had no objection to state the amount of loss, but the question was whether it would be prudent to expose the affairs of the theatre. Messrs. Kemble,Willett, and Forbes felt the most anxious desire to carry on the theatre ; but they could not be expected to do so when subjected to an extensive loss. Looking to the excess of pay ments over receipts, in the last season, those gentle men thought it was proper that there should be no delay in calling the creditors together, in order that some steps might be taken to get rid of the receiver. If this could not otherwise be effected, they might apply to the Chancellor before he ended the present sittings, which would be in a very short time. He would say nothing about the disputes between Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, and their co proprietors, Messrs. Const and Harris, who were equally liable with them, Leaving these points of dispute to be decided hereafter, the former gentle men were anxious to render the property available to the creditors as soon as possible ; arid he sug gested to the creditors that they should . put them selves in an attitude to investigate at - id point out the best mode of converting the property to their ad vantage, He was of opinion that it would be better to appoint a Committee, consisting of a certa i n number of i n di v id ua l s, and having proper professional persons to advise with theli4, to examine the ac counts, and to see whether the creditors could not compel all the co-proprietors to do that which Singly they could not dc",. pe bad drawn up a memoran dum of a vesolutiOn in conforMity with his view of the subj ec t, which lie begged leave to read : " That it is the opinion of this ,Toceting that a Committee should be. appointed by the shareholders and creditor of the theatre; Or the purpose of taking ri2e,4*OS ' tai th e - ii qu id at i on an d d isc h arge o f t h eir respective claims; that they shall be empowered to take such steps as they may think proper to bring the disputes of the proprietors to such a terminati on as will allow the sale and disnositio:l of the theatre for that PY'lilosP; that they Aill . alSo be empowered t o lel the t such Sale and disposition is car- tied into effect; and that they shall be allowed to employ counsel and solicitors." In suggesting this course to the meeting, he begged leave to observe, that he did not wish to be put on the Committee if the proposition were ac ceded to, because the interests of some of the parties might dash with those of his clients, which he was bound to protect. Mr. WEST wished to know how the expense in curred by the gentlemen forming the Committee was to be defrayed ? Mr. LOW - DIIAIII answered, that it might be de frayed by a small charge, in proportion to the claims of the parties investigated. Mr. WHITE was of opinion that the plan pro posed by Mr. Lowdham was the best that could be devised, and therefore he moved that the resolution be adopted by the meeting. Mr. WEST inquired whether any communication had been entered into with certain creditors, who had commenced legal proceedings, as had been stated at the last meeting, and whether they had disconti nued, or showed a disposition to discontinue, those proceedings ? He also wished to know whether their having taken legal steps would give them any advan tage over the other creditors, who had not done so ? Mr. LOWDHAM answered that there were certain legal proceedings going on of no great extent, which affected the proprietors personally, and not the pro perty. A distress had been put in by one of the shareholders, and the goods were removed into Sur rey. A great deal more property was taken than was necessary. He believed nine or ten pier glasses were seized, which, if sold, would not perhaps have fetched half their value. The only remedy was to bring an action, or to pay the money, and it was deemed advisable to take the latter course, to pre vent the glasses from being damaged. The other proceedings had reference to debts that affected the proprietors personally, and not the property of the theatre. The resolution was then agreed to, and Messrs. Moore, White, Pepper, J. Dickinson, and Bemas coni, were named on the Committee. Mr. WEST said that according to the resolution his property was placed in the hands of five gentle men, who were empowered to sell the theatre with• out calling the shareholders and creditors together. He was favourable to the appointment of a Com mittee, but not with such extensive powers. Mr. WHITE hoped the Committee would be able to make a report in the course of a fortnight. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. The following letter was circulated in the room : " Tuesday, 21st July, 1829. " Gentlemen,—ln consequence of Messrs. Kem ble, Willett, and Forbes, calling a meeting of credi tors of Covent-garden Theatre for Wednesday, the 22d of July instant, I think it right to state, for your information, that in pursuance of an agreement, under seal, dated the 11th of March, 1822, made and executed between myself of the one part, and Messrs. John Saltret Willett, John Forbes, and Charles Kemble, of the other part, I did, on the date of such agreement, give up the possession of the theatre to Messrs. Willett, Forbes, and Kemble, and that I have not, since that day, in any manner acted as a proprietor of the Theatre, or interfered with the conduct or management thereof ; but that the same has been carrried on solely by Messrs. Willett, Forbes, and Kemble, on their own account, as lessees under such agreement, they having by that agreement expressly covenanted to pay the yearly ground-rent, taxes, and rates for the Theatre, and also to pay the annuities to the renters and new subscribers, and to indemnify me from all engage ments to be entered into, and from all debts and liabilities to be contracted and incurred by them in the course of their conducting and managing the concerns of the Theatre from the day and date of the agreement. I have further to state, that Messrs. Willett, Forbes, and Kemble, are alone liable for all debts and expences of every kind rela• tive to the conduct and management of the Theatre, incurred since the 11th day of March, 1822, and that I am not in any manner liable to the creditors whose debts have accrued since that date ; and that there is now due from Messrs. Willett, Forbes, and Kemble, for rent, payable under such agreement, upwards of 27,0001., being a much larger sum than is due to the creditors of the theatre whose debts accrued due prior to the 11th day of March, 1822 ; which sum is applicable, in the first instance, to the payment of such debts; and that, by the same agreement, Messrs. Willett, Forbes, and Kemble, covenanted to indemnify me from the general debt then due from the proprietary of the theatre, and from all the interest thereon.—l am, your humble servant, " H. HARRIS. " P.S. Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, may perhaps urge that the argument is invalid, and has been decided to be so by the Lord Chancellor•, upon appeal in the case of Harris v. Kemble;' but it is to be observed that the present Master of the Rolls was of opinion, and decreed, that Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, were bound to per form that agreement, and the decision of the Lord Chancellor is appealed from to the House of Lords." MR.

The Grand Sailing Match for a splendid silver cup and cover, given by his Majesty's Coronation Fleet, took place yesterday evening, and the weather being propitious, the bosom of Old Father Thames was covered with vessels of every description. The bridges and the banks of the river were crowded with spectators, and every tavern front which a view of the match could be had was filled with visitors. It was, therefore, a gay day with the watermen, and a lucrative one for the Bonifaces between Waterloo bridge and Richmond. The regulations were such as were calculated to insure the attendance of the lovers of aquatic sports, and the contest excited the utmost gratifi cation to the thousands who witnessed it. A short time before five o'clock the following vessels were placed on the western side of Waterloo-bridge : No. Vessels' Names. Owners. Belonging to. Tons. 1. Clarence W. J. Sawyer Hammersmith.,, 2.

Groves Lambeth The Rose in June, the John and Ann, and the Prince George of Cumberland, did not start. In consequence of the indisposition of Edward Nettle fold, Esq., the Commodore of the Fleet, H. C. Temple man, Esq., of Furnival's Inn (the Hon. Secretary of the Association), officiated for him, and every one appeared to be gratified with the management of the sports. The match was, that the vessels should start from Wa , terloo-bridge, and sail from thence round a boat moored off the powder-house, in the meadows, near Putney bridge, and back to Vauxhall-bridge ; and the first vessel through the centre arch to be entitled to the Prize Cup, The signal for starting being given soon after five o'clock, the sails were unfurled in a few seconds. The Rowena, which was placed nearest the Surrey shore, tacked to the south of the river, and her sails filling very speedily, she cut along in a most beautiful style. The Donna del Lago tacked to the southern side of the river, and headed all the other vessels except the Rowena. The Donna del Logo had the sails of the Don Giovanni, and there were many bets that she would beat the Rowena. The latter, however, was manned with first-rate sailors, who knew the turns of the river, and exercised their skill in such a manner, that before the vessels arrived at Battersea, odds were betted on the Rowena against the fleet. On passing the lied House, the Rowena headed the other vessels more than one third of a mile. The Cla rence, by a very neat tack, passed the Donna del Logo, and having caught a cap-full of wind, appeared inclined to approach the former vessel. The Rowena, however, kept a steady course, and bid defiance to all her competitors. On going down Chelsea Reach the vessels w ere i n t h e foi- ---- - lowing order : —Rowena first, the Donna del Lago (whirl had again passed the Clarence) second, the Clarence t'uird, the Arid fourth, Daphne fifth, and Leander s;•xth. In the same order they passed round the boat near Putney bridge, and they continued in that order with no material variation on their return to Vauxhall. As they passed by the Red House they were saluted with a discharge of can non, and the cheers of the multitudes which were assem bled were almost deafening.

At a quarter past six, Yellow, Purple, and Pea Green took their statiens at Westminster-bridge, to, row up to Chelsea Col lege, and back to the prize wherry at 'Westminster.

After consi derable fouling tirneen the others, Pea Green came in second boats We are surprised to learn from our Correspon dent at Atberstone, Warwiclahire, that at the village of Polesworth, in the same county, a case has lately occurred, in which a clergyman has refused to bury a child baptized by a Dissenting Minister. It appears that, notwithstand ing the well-known decision of Sir JOHN Nicitou.—not withstanding the frequent and successful interference of the Protestant Society for the protection of ReligioA t s Li berty, and the repeated able cud eloquent exl,ositions of the law and statements of facts by Alr. WIL Ks , its secre tary, some of the clergy are still either ignorant of the laws of their owu; church, or are determined to repeat their acts of petty hostility towardA the Dissenters. We hear that the clergyman in quest4m refused to bury with. but an order from his Bishop ) , and kept the poor father of the child in suspense for two days as to whether he would apply to the Bishop for such authority or not. The Dis senters at Atherstone in the mean time applied both to the Bishop and the Protestant Society, and soon learnt that till former knew the law, and required the Vicar to obey it, and that the latter, by its worthy secretary, gave the parties to understar a d that the Dissenters were able, and willing to encowg the law, if the Bishop had not prevented the neceitiity of doing World. rt the obituary of the last Leeds illercur,y we observed the following announcement :—" Died, on the Ist inst., at the advanced no of 93, JOHN RAISTRICK, Esq., of Caley-hall, near atley, for litany years steward to WALTER FAWKES- of Farnley-hall.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We know not whether it be worth the while to notice again the still creeping but nearly ex tinguished rumours of negotiations for an ac cession to Ministry. We would have those, however, who are trying the experiment, to change their mode of approach if they mean to succeed. They wish the Duke of Wellington to accept their services—and they insult him by the most insolent proposition—that he should reward the services of another with the basest ingeitioule. They may hate Mr. Peel, because he has given a fatal blow to their intolerance ; but the Duke of Wellington has every reason to love and esteem him as a brother statesman, for they have together trodden the same path in politics. And if there be any thing reprehen sible in Mr. Peel's conduct with respect to the Catholic question, the same obloquy (his Grace does not shrink from identification with his colleague in this respect) will apply to that of the Duke. But, with respect to the relation in which these two statesmen stand to each other, has not Mr. Peel made a sacrifice of every thing that man could hold dear, except duty,—we do not say to the Duke of Wellington personally, but to that question upon the success of which the Duke's existence as a statesman depended ? What unheard-of and stupid insolence, then, to expect that the Duke, in return, should sacrifice Mr. Peel as a prelimi nary to the admission of some of their common enemies, their common defamers, into office ! How monstrous, how even beastly a proposition ! Mr. Peel has sacrificed the dearest and first am bition of his heart—the representation of the University of Oxford—to his union with the Duke on the Catholic question : he has sacrificed the friends of his youth : he has incurred the re proaches of his most valued relatives! And, in return for these sacrifices and sufferings, it is re quired of his accomplice in guilt (if guilt be in curred) that Mr. Peel should now be by him given up to the hatred of those whom they have joined in provoking ! It is impossible to say how long two men of independent minds, like the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel, may continue to take the same view of the method of governing the country, but in the fair fight of the Catholic question, they see nothing but cause for mutual attachment and permanent union. There is another point, also, which deserves some con sideration, but upon which we shall now touch but briefly. It has constantly been acknowledged by all parties, that the divisions in the Cabinet on the subject of Catholic emancipation have been the bane of every Ministry, from that of Mr. Pitt into that of the Duke of Wellington. It is not, therefore, we should suppose, the best method of imparting union, and all the advan tages which spring out of union, to an Admi nistration just at present, to club together in its composition the friends and enemies of the measure, even after it has passed. We should very likely have the question to fight over again, —in the Cabinet first, next in the country, and lastly in the field.—Times. Dr. Southey cannot be prevented from writ ing on economical subjects ; but how his lucu brations can find admission into a respectable Review, astonishes us not a little. He has an article on the Condition of the English Peasan try, in the last Quarterly, which, from beginning to end, is one of the most lamentable pieces of imbecility which ever engaged our attention.— The grand panacea of Dr. Southey is one which was solemnly propounded in the House of Com mons some years ago, by a political economist of nearly the same calibre, Alderman Waithman— namely, a piece of ground—a potatogarden for every labourer. If cottages and pieces of ground attached to them could make a =peasantry com fortable, the Irish would be thelsappiest in the world. There are countries eves i where the land belongs to the peasantry, who consequently have DO rents to pay, no burthens to discharge, and yet they are struggling with the same difficulties which press on the Irish. The rood of ground of one generation becomes half a rood the next, when an additional family is quartered on it.— You may cut up all England into cottages and potatoe gardens; this, however, would only be staving off the evil day to another generation.— New potatoe-gardens would soon be wanted for additional families. "If some change be not effected (says Dr. Southey), and that very speedily, in the internal management of those parishes into which the allow ance system has found its way, no man can for a moment doubt that at no very distant period the whole rental of the land will he absorbed by the rates. In many parishes of this description the rates already amount to two-thirds of the rent. In some instances they even exceed the whole rental of the land. The rates are steadill increasing; it is there fore perfectly clear that if no means can be devised to check the progressive advance, the surplus of the landlord will ultimately disappear. Such is the cer tain and inevitable punishment of those who have dis severed the peasantry from the land, and deprived them of their ancient crofts and allotments. As long as the labouring classes are thus excluded from the soil, no improvement in the Administra tion—no alteration even in the principle of the Poor Laws—no human power or inge nuity can avert the consequence. That the population of parishes alleged already to have a superabundant body of labourers will continue to in crease, admits of no doubt; and if the number of hands absorbed by tillage do not increase in an equal ratio, the proportion of idle bands will become greater, and the pressure upon the rates heavier, until at length the whole surplus produce of each parish will be but barely sufficient to employ the un employed paupers. An Agrarian law will thus be come virtually established, and the labouring classes will take possession of the land from which they are now excluded." ,And pray, good Dr. Southey, what is bestow ing cottages and land on the labourers of a parish, hut an allowance system ? Will not the labourers continue to increase as rapidly on cot tages with crofts attached to them, as on the parish allowances ? And if additional cottages and gardens be continually required for the in creasing population, what is this, pray, but an Agrarian law? Dr. Southey has perplexed him self, as usual, with details which prove nothing. If he had inquired into the particulars of Lord Brownlow's cottage system, he would have found that it did not diminish the poor, because a fresh pauper population began immediately to form, which, if we are not misinformed, is now as numerous as that to which cottages were as- signed ; and if cottages were given to the second crop of paupers, a third crop would won be ready for other cottages. The case lies in a nut , shell. The labourers in agriculture are not in a deteriorated condition because they do not oc cupy land, but because in almost every pariah they exceed the demand for labour. The labourers of a parish may double ; but if the demand for la bour-do not keep pace, wages must fall. That which increases most rapidly the capital. of the country will increase most rapidly the demand for labour. But the cutting up the country into patches will not increase most rapidly the capital of the country ; on the contrary, the cultivator will, by such a mode, raise little more than he consumes. The industry of the country ought to be considered as a whole, distributed, for the sake of convenience, into town and country. The mechanic and manufacturer in the town supply the agriculturist with that which he could either not produce at all, or produce with in finitely greater expenditure of labour, and the farmer supplies the mechanic and the manufac turer with the food, to produce which would require from him more labour than he gives in exchange to the farmer. The increase of labourers in town and country act and re-act on each other ; and every improved process in agriculture, and every improved pro cess in manufacturing, hasten accumulation, and, consequently, provide the means of additional em ployment to labourers. But if the labourers are increased with more rapidity than the demand, deterioration in their condition is inevitable. All attempts to blink this, and mystifying the question with cottages, cows, &c. is arrant quackery. The Rev. Mr. Townsend, in an ar ticle in the Universal Magazine for 1807, gi ves a most instructive account of the altera _ _ Lions in the condition of the labourers of Pew sey, in Wiltshire, during the forty years of his residence in that parish, from the increase in their numbers, and the disproportion between the supply of labour and the demand. The deterioration was in many parishes prevented by harsh measures on the part of those possessed of property, who, feeling like Dr. Southey, that pauperism would soon take their laud from them if they did not make a struggle, drove down cot tages, and prevented an► increase of population. If landholders were to be fools enough to be guided by Dr. Southey, and supply cottages and gardens for all who can be called into existence, we predict that they would soon be without estates, and struggling with the paupers for a part of a cottage.—Morning Chronicle. Mr. Peel is quite right in setting the New Police System to work in the city of Westmins ter ; which at present, as far as police is con cerned, is the completest satire upon the very term which can be so much as imagined. In deed police, as far as it has been displayed from the earliest recollection to this time, in this the very heart and centre of the metropolis as well as the actual seat of Government, has been at all times rather a method of attraction than of prevention. Not only are crimes of every sort committed with impunity, but a sort of general hot-bed and nursery is kept up, under the very nose of the Magistrates, for the supply of crime to the rest of the metropolis, as well as for the provinces. Yet in the compass of this small city, three out of the eight present police-offices are situated, besides a horde of amateur Magis trates, who bring up the rear of this inefficacious system. There is a manifest degree, therefore, of spirit and propriety in attacking the enemy first in his strongest holds ; and we augur much good when it is clear that matters, being come to the very worst, must mend. But the work which the new Commissioners have undertaken, to be done well, will be one of no small labour ; for they will have not only to establish a new system, but to abolish one equally bad and old. The nightly watch in Westminster is, for the most part, as bad as it well can be ; but that is not all ; indeed, that, we should say, will turn out to be the least part of their labours—just as easy, we should presume, as to garrison a town with effective regiments in lieu of so many companies of invalids. But there is the flash house to root out, the receiving house to demolish, the trading constable to crush, and too many of the present police to teach that mere money-getting is not all that they are paid by the public for being em ployed about. There is nothing probably to do but what men of good sense, of knowledge of the world, with good temper and firmness, may not be able to accomplish. But they will probably be met by the old leaven in all they set about ; and this they must resolutely determine to resist. Every thing must be new to be in any way effec tually useful. Any attempt to amalgamate with such a system of abuse as our present mockery of police presents, will only inoculate their own plan with the seeds of a chronic disease, which will soon render their own system as incurable as the old one has been found to be. On the contrary, if, instead of coalescing with the enemy on the smallest point, or adopting a shadow of past abuses, they proceed calmly but resolutely to the adoption of a new and opposite method, we think there is now a chance of our having, what we never had even the semblance of, a thoroughly good police.—Morning Herald. WHIMSICAL ANECDOTE OF A FORMER DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. At the close of an election for Lewes in 1771, the Duke of Newcastle was so pleased with a man who gave a casting vote on his side of the question, that he almost fell upon his neck, exclaiming, " My dear friend, you are the best creature living ; what can Ido for you ? I long to serve you." May it please your Grace," replied the voter,. " the exciseman of this place is very old ; when he dies, I shall be glad of his place." " You shall have it ; I wish for your sake he were dead and buried already ; as soon as he is, set out to me, be it night or day, insist upon seeing me; I'll give orders for you to be admitted at any time." The voter, swallowed every thing with extacy, and in the following winter the exciseman took his leave of this wicked world ; the Duke's friend started for London, and reached Lincoln's Inn at two o'clock in the morning. About this time the King of Spain was taken ill, and not expected to survive. The Duke, wishing that he might not, had despatched messengers to Madrid, who were commanded to return with unusual haste as soon as the death of his Catholic Majesty should be announced. Ignorant of the hour at which they might arrive, he had given orders to his attendants to send any person to his chamber who should demand ad mittance. When the voter asked if his Grace were at home, he was answered in the affirma tive, and immediately shewn up, when he rushed into the room, and in the transport of his joy, cried out, "My Lord, he is dead l" " That is well, I am glad of it with all my soul, when did he die i"—" The morning before last, and please your Grace What, so lately ?—Why, you must have - flown ; how shall I reward you ?" " All I wish for is to succeed him.",--" You, you what pretensions have you to the Crown of Span ? Let inc look at you." The astonished Duke threw h:ick the curtain, and saw ' with rage and disappointment the face of his electioneefing friend. The poor devil waa at first dismissed with all the violence of anger, and refused ;—but, at length, the victim of time Minister's anger became the object of his mirth ; and, when he felt the ridicule that marked the incident, he raised the candidate for monarchy into a post, which, from the colour of the present times, and the conduct of the petticoat em broiderer, may seem as least as honourable—he made him an exciseman. LONDON SESSIONS, JULY 22. INDICTMENT AGAINST DAVID LATOUCHE, ESQ. Davkl Latouche, Esq., a member of a most re spectable and wealthy family in Ireland, was brought up by habeas corpus from the Fleet prison, to be tried upon an indictment charging him with having assaulted Mrs..Tane Phillip, the wife of a person who is also a prisoner in the Fleet, with intent to commit a rape. Mrs. Jane Phillips deposed as follows:—She was told by Mrs. Sharp, who was in the service of Mr. Latouche, to call at his rooms in the Fleet prison, and receive an order for a straw hat. She did so, but upon her knocking at the door she heard a voice say that Mr. Latouche was engaged with his attor ney, and that Mrs. Phillips must call again. She said she would come when sent for. Next day, while she was at dinner with her husband, Mrs. Sharp called and accompanied her to the door of Mr. Latouche's room, but left her as soon as the door opened. Mr. Latouche, the moment witness was inside, locked the door, and shut down the window. " I," said the witness, " remonstrated with him, and said it was a very hot day for closing the window, and he said it was not. I told him I was the person who was recommended to make a straw hat for him, and asked for the description. He gave it me; bat as I was ledving the room he seized me round the waist, dragged me to the bed, held my hands, threw me down upon it, and detained me about three minutes. I screamed aloud for assistance, told him I was in the family way, and begged he would not hurt me. He said he would not have the least compassion upon me, but would do just as he pleased. He loosened one of his hands from under me, I suppose with intent to disorder my dress, but I forced myself away, and threw him against a table filled with glasses and bottles. I then flew to the door, upon which he seized a glass decanter, and said he would injure me more with that than with what he intended to do, He put his hack against the door, and squeezed my hand by jamming it. There are two doors, and he jammed me between them. My hand was black for some days. He told me he would not let me go till he had done what he pleased with me; and I said that I would rather die than submit to his wishes. I then flew to the window, opened it, and screamed as loud as I could, but no one was walking on the ground at the time. He.then said he would let use go if I would promise not to expose him ; and he let me out. I never saw him before; and he and my bus-; band were never acquainted. I went to Guildhall, and was advised by the Magistrate to indict. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—I swear I screamed as loud as I could. Mr. Pittuurs—How far is the windoW of the room from the Warden's house ? Mrs. Phillips— I cannot tell. Mr. PHILLIPS—You can't tell ? You can form some judgment, surely ? Mrs. Phillips—The War den is not always in his house. Besides,the Warden's windows are not always open. Mr. PHILLIPS pressed the question as to the dis tance, and Mrs. Phillips at length said that the dis tance from the warden's house might be half or the whole length of that court (six or twelve yards).— The hour at which this violence was offered to her was half-past two o'clock, and still there was not a creature in the great court. Mr. Pmuirs called Mr. Samuel W. Dart, soli citor, of Red Lion•square, who deposed that he was in the habit of visiting Mr. Latouche professionally, who was in a very shattered state of health for many months, and whom the surgeon of the prison at tended. On the 4th of June he was with Mr. La touche, when Mrs. Phillips knocked to take mea sure for a straw hat. Mr. Latouche was lying on the bed at the time from decided debility. Mr. Dart swore that he never saw a decanter in the room in his life. Mrs. Phillips—lt might have been a bottle he took up in his hand for what I know. The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury imme diately found the defendant Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Richard Wacc, a journeyman butcher, in the em ployment of Mr. Woodham, a salesman in Newga!e market, and William Farr, the driver of a waggon belonging to Mr. Kingsley, of Kimpton, carrier, were yesterday charged before Sir PETER LAURIE, with causing to be exposed for sale in Newgate market the carcase of a cow, which was unfit for the food of man. Sir PETER LAURIE should move in the Court of Aldermen, that an inspector be appointed over the meat markets. He hoped that the fine on the per son who sent this meat to London would not be less than 1001. Wace was then held to bail to appear at the next Sessions, and Farr was admitted a witness, and bound over with the rest to prosecute.

It appeared that the last order of maintenance had been made upon him about a month ago, and since then he made only one week's payment to the parish of 6s. The wife, an interesting-looking female, is the daughter of Lady Perrott, and has two brothers, bearing commissions in the army and navy. In 1816, she first became acquainted with the defen dant, who then followed the profession of the stage, at Chelmsford, where she resided with her mother, and where he was then performing with a company of theatricals, and three weeks afterwards they were married in London. • He remained in this profession for four years subsequent to their marriage, and then finally retired from the stage to take his chance in a solicitor's office. The defendant said, that his means were not suf ficient to enable him to support the complainant and her child, particularly as he had taken his own two children away from her, and was at a very heavy expense in keeping them at a boarding-school. He denied the fact of his being the father of this child, and, together with many other proofs of her infi delity, during a considerable time past, he had her own acknowledgments in writing for the truth of what he denied. He knew, and she herself con fessed it to him repeatedly, that, during several short intervals that she had been absent from him at Can terbury, Margate, and ether places in the country, she had been carrying on an adulterous intercourse. The Magistrates asked the complainant if the child in question was born in lawful wedlock ? to which she replied in the affirmative, adding, that while she was at Margate the defendant was in the habit of going down to her from London every Sa turday evening, and remaining with her until the following Monday. Mr. ROGERS told the defendant that unless he paid up the arrears due to the parish, and consented to pay the amount of the order of maintenance, 6s. weekly for his wife and child, he would commit him immediately to prison. The defendant complied, and the parties left the office. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Richard Young, who described himself the steward of the Columbine steam-packet, was brought before Messrs. HONE and ELYARD, on an infermation charging him with having conveyed a quantity of brandy on shore, the duty on which had not been paid. The MAGISTRATE convicted the defendant, and awarded him to pay a penalty of 100/., and in de fault, to be imprisoned until the fine be paid. The defendant having said that he could not raise such a sum, was sent to gaol. EXTRAORDINARY AND HORRIBLE EVENT AT CLARE, IN SUFFOLK. (From the Essex Herald.) We have been furnished with the following authentic particulars of the late diabolical at tempt to murder a young man at Clare : Mr. Bridge, a respectable draper, having en tertained suspicions that he had been robbed by his journeyman, discharged him. Mr. Bridge had two apprentices, named Viall and Green, the former about 16 years of age, the son of the late Mr. Viall, a carpenter at Bocking, and the latter about 19, the son of the late Mr. John Green, of Totham, both in this county. On Tuesday night last Viall and Green went to bed together, perfect good friends, nor had the slightest disagreement existed between them. They slept in the same room, but in separate beds. About midnight Mr. Bridge's maid servant was alarmed by repeated heavy groans, and heard Green call her by name. She imme diately went to her window, which faced his at a right angle, when he begged for a light, say ing that his throat was cut. She alarmed Mr. Bridge, who instantly proceeded to the bed room, the door of which he found fastened.— After he had gained an entrance, to his inexpres sible horror and surprise, he found Green sitting at the foot of his bed, his hands upon his knees, panting for breath and moaning heavily. His night clothes and the bed sere crimsoned with the blood which continued to gush from a fright ful wound in the back of his neck. Viall, his fellow apprentice, was in bed, and in a feigned sleep. Mr. Bridge and his maid-servant sup ported Green, and used their utmost endeavours to staunch the bleeding. Viall was roused and despatched for Mr. Martin, a surgeon, who on his arrival sewed and dressed the wound. It commenced at the right ear (part of which was cut off), extending round the back of the neck to the left check, just escaping the carotid artery, which was laid quite bare. Viall cheerfully as sisted the surgeon in sewing and dressing the wound, and in every thing where he could render service. The inquiry—" who inflicted the wound ?" was now made. Viall asserted that Green must have done it himself, or that it was the act of Mr. —, the journeyman lately dis charged. The poor victim frequently exclaimed against the assertion that the wound had been made by himself. Mr. Bridge observing a _ _ the latest accounts from Clare state that there are some hopes of his ultimate recovery. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Since writing the above, we have been fa voured with the perusal of a private letter from Mr. Green's famil), which states that some time ago Mr. Bridge had a young man as journeyman (his name we at present suppress), who was de tected by Green robbing his employer of silk handkerchiefs, stockings, and other articles. Mr. Bridge was not willing to prosecute, and there fore discharged him. The razor with which the wound was inflicted, it is said, belonged to the journeyman. Green was awoke, the letter men tions, by he knew not what, and jumped out of bed, when he found he was bleeding profusely.— He was not aware that Viall was his assassin, but supposed that some one was secreted in the room. Viall, after he had made a confession, declared that he had no motive for injuring Green ; that he liked him - very well, and had never quarrelled with him in his life. The inte rest, the writer adds, taken by the inhabitants of Clare generally in the fate of Green is very great as he was universally respected for his steadiness and honesty. THE WEATHER. The favourable appearance of the weather has had the effect of exciting the hopes of all those whose speculations depend in any way upon an abundant harvest ; while those who were calcu lating upon the failure of the crops are propor tionably depressed. We believe that the rain has hitherto done little damage to the wheats, and that it has been highly serviceable to some of the spring crops, and the turnips in particular, does not admit of a doubt. We have conversed with a gentleman who has just returned from an extensive tour through the corn counties, and he reports that the crops have as yet sustained little or no injury ; but that, on the contrary, they are looking exceedingly well. The wheat, in parti cular, he represents as having a most luxuriant appearance. On the contrary, we have heard that in Lincolnshire there are hundreds of acres laid as flat as a pavement, and that it has every appearance of having been attacked by the mil dew. For our part, we doubt the truth of this latter statement. It is true that in Lincolnshire, from the lowness of the lands and the consequent luxuriance of the herbage, it is hot improbable that the wheat may be laid, but we apprehend that they are not sufficiently advanced to be liable to the mildew. All accounts agree in stating that there is scarcely any wheat. stacks in the country, and if no wheat stacks, we should imagine little or no old wheat. This fact is certainly not a positive proof of the poverty of the English farmers, but it is certainly a strong presumption that they are poor—for those who know any thing of their habits and feelings know that, independent of any ideas of gain, they take a pride in having such proofs of their prosperity ornamenting their rick-yards. Besides, the wheat was, for the most part, harvested in so damp a state last year, that standing through the summer in stack could not fail greatly to improve its quality. Damp wheat, by being put into heaps in a granary, always de teriorates, and to kiln-dry it also injures it, though in another way. But the fair way of looking at this question is to inquire whether there are fewer wheat-stacks now in existence than there were upon an average of years at cor responding periods ; and we have no doubt that the result will show that such is the case. So far as personal experience goes, the writer of this article can safely affirm that, whenever he travel led through a corn district in the month of July, he generally met with corn-stacks in the yards of every large farmer ; whereas all accounts now seem to concur in stating that a stock is scarcely to be seen. In short, there can be no doubt whether the farmers be poor or not, that, not withstanding the great importations, there is very little wheat in the country, and such being the case, it is easy to foresee that a bad harvest would be fraught with the most fearful consequences.— Morning Herald.

Among the many interesting conversations which I have had with Lady Hester, she related several anecdotes of the people of the East, most of which were extremely illustrative of their manners and superstitions. I select the follow ing, as it relates to the two greatest men of which the East can boast—Sultan Mahmoud and Mehmet Ali. The growing power of the Pacha of Egypt had long been the cause of uneasiness to the Sublime Porte. In vain were capidgi`• bashis, armed with the bowstring and the dagger, despatched to the capital of the Pyramids ; iii vain the treacherous agents of the Porte endea voured by poison or stratagem to rid it of a dangerous rival. Mehmet Ali was too well warned, by his spies at Constantinople, of the; toils which were spread around him to suffer himself to fall into the slave. At length the Sultan Mahmoud resolved upon adopting a scheme which should be so cleverly devised, and involved in such impenetrable secrecy, that it was impossible to fail of success. Be had in the imperial harem a beautiful Georgian slave, whose innocence and beauty fitted her, in the Sultan's eyes, for the atrocious act of perfidy for which she was to be the unsuspecting 'agent. The belief in talismans is still prevalent through out the East; and, perhaps, even the enlightened Mahmoud himself is not superior to the rest of his nation in matters of traditionary superstition. He sent one day for the fair Georgian, and, af fecting a great love for her person, and desire to advance her interests, told her that it was his imperial will to send her to Egypt as a present to Mehmet Ali, whose power and riches were as unbounded as the regions over which he held the sway of a sovereign prince, second to no one in the universe, but to himself the great Padisha. He observed to her how much happiness would fall to her lot if she could contrive to captivate the affec tions of the master for whom he designed her ; that' she would become, as it were, the Queen of Egypt, and would reign over boundless empires . ; but, in order to insure to her so desirable a con summation of his imperial wishes for her welfare and happiness, he would present her with a talis man, which he then placed upon her finger. " Watch," said he, " a favourable moment, when the Pacha is lying on your bosom to drop this ring into a glass of water, which, when he has drunk, will give you the full possession of his affections, and render him your captive for ever." The unsuspecting Georgian eagerly ac cepted the lot which was offered her, and, dazzled by its promised splendour, determined upon fol lowing the instructions of the Sultan to the very letter. In the due course of time she arrived at Cairo, with a splendid suite, and many slaves, bearing rich presents. Mehmet Ali's spies had, however, contrived to put him on his guard. Such a splendid demonstration of esteem,fiom his imperial master alarmed him for his safety. He would not suffer the.fair Georgian to see the BIRTHS. On the 21st inst. the lady of G. A.

The poor Georgian, having lost a Pacha, thought she must do her best to .cap tivate her Aga, and administered to him the fatal, draught, in the inanner Sultan Mahmoud had designed for Mehmet Ali. The Agi fell dead upon the floor. The Georgian shrieked and clapped her hands, in rushed the eunuchs of the, harem, and bore out the dead body of-their mas ter. When the Georgian was accused ofpoi soning the Aga she calmly denied the fact. ‘‘ What did you do to him ?" was the question. " I gave him a glass of water, into which I•had dropped a talisinan. See, there 18 theglass, - and there is the ring." The ring, it was true, re mained ; but the stone, which it 'had encircled, was melted in the water.—Frankland's Travels. THE MARKETS.

The weather, since our last, has been' very changeable' and unsettled ; yesterday we had some very heavy rain ; to-day is again fine, and having a very slender attendance of buyers, we experienced a slow sale for both English. and foreign Wheat, and the prices of last week were with difficulty supported. On the little business done, the holders generally, however, are more disposed t o t i a it the event of the weather, and advanced antics, to "stibMitting to present prices : the demand to-day for iedondary quali ties of foreign and Ruissian is limited, at last week's prices. Of Oats or Barley we have very little offering, yet tbeY are scarcely inquired after, and from the fete sates effected, our prices may be considered nominal.

GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS, AND PORTABLE FILTERS. THE Season of the Year is - approaching when the public will have additional reason to congratulate thourelvee upon this important and national invention. So .many attempts have been mole to mislead the good folk; of the Aletropolis, by pretending to cure the crying evil of bad water, without the least pretension, that we were amongst the 'many who remained sceptical as to the pretensious of the Royal Filter ; until we tv.ere led to seek ocular demonetra tion by having one fixed up in a large cistern, and we have new no sort of hesitation in pronouncing it QUITE COM PLETE, and in giving it OUR, UNQUALLFIRO PRAISE. .The names of the highest professional talent in the Metro polis have given the strongest testimony, that they may be considered, in the metropolitan city of London as an ab volute " God-send," but we will illustrate their opinions by stubborn facts and proofs as strong as Moly Writ; and first let as examine the state of the water, as now drank by the thousand and ten thousand persons who have not Set availed themselves of this - Filter, and our readers will tear in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence given last season in the BRITISH HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT. The following eutinent and learned men in their voca tions have given evidence, of which the following is ne oesearily a short extract, viz. : Sir Henry Halford, Dr. •Hooper, Mr. Keats, Mr. Thomas, Dr. Turner, Drs.

" But where," the reader will naturally orelaisn, " is .the / 1 rocif of ail this to be found ? We must have some thing 1110 re 24141 And eatWattory than bare aiwrtions."-- T e following, staternentintsat,.'ve think, 'set the doubts of the most sceptical at rest for sorer. Mr. flume, the respectable and talented chemist of Long Acre, who has long been employed by Government in analysing waters, had two bottles sent to him for analysatiou, ititE ONE rtLL OF ALL SORTS OF 2NZIMAL AND VEGETABLE MATZERS IN A SWATE OP DECOMPOSITION, AND STF.ONGLY H4PREGN 4111 D WWII GIS ; the other, a bottle which lied contained the same foul ingredients, but hail been purified by the Royal Filter. In the unfiltered bottle he - . found, he says, forty-six grains and a half of solid matter, of which thirty grains consisted of .impurities, and.the remaining sixteen grains w6.e'the original ingredients peculiar to the water; and . dissolved in. it " for," he obsories,." there is no water, however pure. and wholesome, whether from deep wells, superficial springs, or any other source, that is free from . saline and ether soluble salts, not at all injurious to health." Li the filtered bottle he found only sixteen grains of substances, which, en exarliinition, proved to be the same materials peculiar to, and soluhleti, The water in its pri mitive state, and perfectly free from the •iiiipubities and contingent foulness of the water, occasioned principally by decayed vegetable matters, a'slight impregnation by animal substances, some carbureted hydrogen or coal gas, and car- . .bonia acid, gas. Mr. Hume concludes with bearing the following high testimony to the merits of this discovery: " After a very ^ireful analysis, I cannot hesitate to pro nounce the method-which hag been adopted to filter this specimen of water Co be meet eifertual, and highly descry- . log of public encouragement." The tame gentleman, at a subsequent period, analysed two other bottles; and says, " the opinion I had forme of this new process for filtering is fury confirmed." We should add, that the water thus analysed, ALTHOUGH PURPOSELY STRONGLY IMPREG NATED WITH GAS AND OTHER, IMPURITIES, BECAME CRYITALLISED, AND DESTITUTE OF TASTE AND SMELL. Thus it is clearly proved, THAT OF 1/1113 FORTY-SIX GRAINS AND A HALF OF SOLID lA:VITRA ORIGINALLY PLACED IN THE ROYAL FILTER, ONLY SLXIGEN GRAINS OF SUBSTANCES PASSED TUROUGII IT; AND WHICH SIX- TEEN GRAINS ARE PROVED TO BE PECULIAR TO WATER IN MS I . ItIMITIVE STATE, AND NOT AT ALL DELETERIOUS TO lIF,ALTII. However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners may apply to all former systems of filtration, it is greatly to be regretted that, before the close of their labours, they had not the benefit of the preceding experiments, and of the following striking testimonials to the excellence of " The Royal Filter." Professor Braude, Dr. Clarke, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Keate, Dr. Scudamore, and 30 other highly eminent and unpre judiced medical' men, have each had the Royal Filter placed in their cisterns, and they all concur in stating that it renders the most turbid, ftetid water of chrystaline brilliancy, and free from taste and smell. It should be observed that the difficulty of getting pure water is very common in most of the large towns, and indeed throughout the provinces. The difficulty or necessity of placing a Filter at this distance is uovvremeved. Portable ones of all dimensions, capable of filtering from 50 to 500 gallons every 24 hours, have been adapted to prevent the inconvenience alluded to. T hecxpence is from 30s. to 41. or 5/. We trust we have said enough to draw general attention to the merits of a discovery so highly conducive to the cleanliness, comfort, and health of the inhabitants of this thickly peopled Metropolis. We shall only add that the apparatus may be inspected at the Office of the Patantee, Mr. George Robins, 69, Strand, opposite the Adelphi Thoatre ; where the public are invited to have ocular de monstration of the efficacy of this remedy. ri - ifIE QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. LXXVII., WAS PUBLISHED TIIIS DAY.

COBBETT and the FRENCH SURGEONS, We observe in one of the French papers of Saturday, a curious paragraph, which shows how little our lively neighbours are acquainted With the character of a certain degraded portion of the English press. It is stated that Dr. Lucas, physician to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berry, had brought to the notice of the me dical section of the Royal Institute, a paragraph of an English " journal edited by Cobbett," and copied i n t o some o f the English newspapers, in which the French surgeons are accused of re lieving their overstocked hospitals by converting their patients into subjects for dissection, after the fashion of Burke and his gang in Edin burgh. The French doctor, in denouncing this calumny, got into a grave fit of indignation, and, no doubt, called forth a sympathetic e%pression of astonishment and fury trom the whole Aca demy. After the wonder and uproar had sub sided, they unanimously resolved to record their abhorrence in a proces verbal, and to avenge the abuse of the liberty of the press by employ ing the press itself as an instrument of retaliation. In short, they formally determined to spread the contradiction as widely as the calumny ; and we shall not be surprised to find them advertising in the English newspapers that French surgeons are not butchers, and that the hospitals in Paris are not' shambles of medical assassination. Now, had these Academicians taken the least pains to inquire into the character of their calumniator, and learnt the estimation in which he is held where he is best known, they might have saved, for a better occasion, a great deal of virtuous horror which they have thus thrown away. Had they known the " comical miscreant" as well as Lie is known here, they would probably have been amused with his antics, but they never could seriously have been offended with his false hoods. We beg them, therefore, to recover their self-possession, and to take no farther no tice of the matter. Cobbett only wants to sell his calumnies as he does his Indian corn, and both commodities are equally harmless. Nobody believes what lie says,—nobody can be hurt by the abuse which he utters ; and though sensible people on this side of the water sometimes amuse themselves with reading his vagaries, they would no more think of answering or contradicting him, than they would an Ouran-outang, or a long-armed monkey. If we had not seen our lively friends in such a state of angry uproar about a trifle, and labouring under such gross misapprehensions of our national justice, we would not have taken the trouble of introducing to them this Thersites of the English press.— , Timm ich ard Allen,, an elderly mart, was indicted for an indecent assault oit his niece, a girl under eleven years of age. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. John Rogers, zin elderly and apparently irritable Welsh gentleman, was indicted for assaulting Jane Taylor, a potato-render, residing at Long-lane, Ber mondsey, on the 23d Augqt. s It appeared that the defendant dealt witli the prosecutrix for pcitatoes on credit, and,• when she asked him for the money, he assaulted her, and knocked her down ; she being ix- . ritable, threw a potato at bins. Verdict—" Guilty." The defendant was sen tenced to pay a fine of five pOUnds, and to be kept in confinement until the fine was paid. Mr. Tidniarsh; a respectable-looking elderly man, was put to the bar, charged with having, on the 10th of October, assaulted, kicked, and fractured one .of the ribs of a Mrs. Aldridge, a respectable lady, on the wrong side of 40 years of age. Verdict—" Guilty." The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 40/. to the King, and to be imprisoned until the fine was paid. His wife, a respectably dressed woman, appeared deeply affected at the result of the trial. Adjourned at six o'clock. AGGRAVATED CASE OF TRESPASS. Yesterday a Jury was empannelled at the Three Tuns, in the Borough, before Mr. 'Smallpieee, for the purpose of assessing damages against Mr. Mor ton Stubbs, an attorney, for a trespass and breach of the game laws, alleged to have been committed on the manor-of Sutton, in Surrey. 'The defendant had' allowed judgment to go by default. Mr. TIIESSIGER .stated the case against the de fendant. A Mr. Wilson was the nominal plaintiff in this case, and Mr. Hatch is the Lord of the Manor of Sutton: Belonging to the manor is a piece of ground, called Benhill, which contains about seventy acres, and of late years has been -converted into a preserve, by Mr. Hatch, for the purpose of rearing game, who alone has the sale and exclusive right of sporting over it. The defendant (said the Learned Counsel) has been a wholesale slaughterer of . genie -in this preserve ;• and - lamentable indeed . would it be if lie brought down his clients as fast as he did the hares, amongst which he had' committed such havoc that the breed, which was numerous at one time, were now nearly extinct, from the nnerringairn of his fowling piece. Since the 29th of September notice had been served on the defendant not to apo pear on the ground in question, other Wise he would be treated-as a trespasser }-notwithstanding --Which he made his appearance at Benhill on the 7th of November, with his double-barrelled fowling-piece, accompanied by four dogs and a man, whom he em ployed to beat the bushes for the game. Mr. Hatch's gamekeeper on seeing the sportsmen, and knowing they had no right there, desired them to quit the grounds; adding, that if they did not withciray. , ', he had a right to seize their dogs and gun.— To this intimation the defendant said, " If you dare do so, I shall knock you down." The gamekeeper then went away himself, in order to • look for Mr: Hatch, and on his return the defendant was still in the grounds, and by that time had completely stuffed his bag with. the pheasants he had killed ; and on being subsequently warned to desist, he ex claimed, " I shall not go; lam sent here to try a right, and see Mr. Hatch -- before I quit." Had the defendant (said the Learned Counsel), -if that was his object, killed a few brace, and then walked away, and afterwards brought an action to try the validity of the question, and set this up as a justification, then there would have been some palliatives in the case; but no, he did not proceed in this manner; he set all law at defiance, and repeated his visit again to Benhill. on the 9th, accompanied, as before, by a man, to beat the bushes, and three dogs. The gamekeeper, on seeing the defendant, said, " what, are you come here again ?" " Aye, am I (replied he), and I mean to kill all the pheasants on the preserve, and after Wards blow up, the bushes;" and had scarcely uttered the words, when be shoul dered his gun, and being a deadly shot, knocked down six pheasants; and the man who was with him, holding up the dead game in the gamekeeper's face, called out in derision, "You keep-nice phea sants, for us—we shall kill the whole of them." After this, he was again served with a notice not to trespass on the property of Mr. Hatch, and, on the 11th, was again found in the preserve, with his bag well filled with game; on the 20th he came . there again, and declared his determination of killing every cock and hen pheasant in the preserve. The 4th of November was the last time the de fendant. visited Benhill, and he came there with six other persons and his usual companions—the dogs and his.double-barriled gun. The gamekeeper on this occasion said to him, " Really, Sir, you might as well bring the whole_ parish along with you." The defendant paid no attention to the words ad dressed to him, but;commenced operations, and be fore he quitted the preserve knocked down fourteen pheasants. In fact, he has annihilated the whole breed of pheasants that were in the preserve,- and which had cost so much trouble and expence in the rearing. Proof was here given of the notices having been served on the defendant. John Baker, the plaintiff's gamekeeper, deposed to the' facts given in the Counsel's statement of the case. Mr. BoDKIN addressed the Jury in mitigation of damages. The defendant, by letting judgment go by default, had admitted his error; and had Mr. Wilson, the nominal plaintiff, sustained any damage by the acts committed by the defendant ? .Certainly not. The defendant, at the time of the alleged trespass, considered he had a right to sport 'over Benhill, his father being one, of the copyhold tenants to the Lord of the Manor. With respect to the general policy of the Game Laws, he (the Learned Counsel) should not now enter upon it ; but he would say this, that the manner in which they were carried into execution gave rise to more crime and misery than could be well imagined. The Jury, after a short deliberation, assessed the damages at 3001. On Tuesday evening a huissier of the hint's household contrived to obtain admission to the ball of the Duchess of Berry, and was dancing with a daughter of a Marshal of France, very near her Royal Highness, when he was recognized, and turned out of the room. We are assured that he has been suspended from exercising his fuuetions. DECLARATIONS OF INSOLVENCY. James William Buckland, Great Tower-street, London, tailor.

There has lately arrived at the Hague a large collection of Egyptian antiquities and guriositiv , , which hare been purchased by Government fur 136,000 florins.— Brussels Telegraph. A most magnificent piece of plate, which, when finished, will be the larg e st in Europe, and exceed ing anything of the kind manufactured in this country, is now in course of completion for his Majesty, by Rundell and Bridge. It is for the purpose of a wine-cooler, and some idea may be formed of its magnitude from the fact, that a man may stand upright in it, and that it will com 7 prise7,ooo ounc e s of s ilver. This splendid s ervice has oc cupied a great l engt h o f t i me , especially in the gilding of it, as this has b een a wor k o f more than ordinary difficulty irons its imm e n se siz e , a nd the prejudicial effects to the workm en from the vick9ilver used in the gilding compo sition strenuously recommend to the Duke of Wel lington a calm contemplation of so - triumphant an experiment, made by the wisdom of the British Legislature upon a mixed Protestant and Catholic people, among whom, in the emphatic language of one of the witnesses, " No man asks whether his neighbour is a Protestant or a Ca tholic." Upon your practical " common sense" understandings, which require facts, and repu diate general reasonings, we conceive that one example, like that now referred to, must have a decisive influence. Whatever constructions may be put upon the recent correspondence between political noble.; men and a Catholic prelate, the crisis has obvi ously been advanced by it. The Duke of Wel lington's opinion as to the practical utility of de lay, and Lord Anglesea's upon the urgency of the measure, must come very speedily into con flict. The Duke may have difficulties to con tend with—no one doubts it ; but, as he is re ported to have once said himself, on occasion of forming his own Ministry, " difficulties are not impossibilities." We have little reason to fear that if the Duke of Wellington were to state in high quarters the existence of a political neces sity for this great healing measure, every abstract scruple would in a moment give way. We are sure that such weight is attached to his judg ment when that judgment is communicated in strong and unambiguous terms, and more espe cially when it happens to be founded on appre hensions of coming evil, that an illustrious Per sonage would feel it high time to be alarmed when he found the Duke of Wellington's intre pid spirit moved, and that the wise precedent of legislation. established in our North American colcmies.would press with full authority on his reason. But it is said that some of the Ministry are still intractable ;—that Mr. Peel would resign, and the Cabinet be broken up, like so many others which have fallen to ashes on the first pinch of emergency. That Mr. Peel would !eel himself bound to throw up office is generally understood ; but it is equally so, that if the Duke of Wellington would take a just meastr of his own position, and act with but a small share of that firmness which both the country and the King expect from him, the se cession of Mr. Peel need cause him no serious embarrassment. No, the Cabinet which has withstoOd the loss of four or five liberal and able 7Alinisters, has nought to he frightened at in the absence of Mr. Peel. If, therefore, the Duke of \Veliington has tact enough to discover where the real danger lies, and to provide for it by an act of national justice, he at once proves himself to be a man well qualified to set all paltry bug bears at defiance. If the Duke will but do what he unquestion ably can do, and propose a Catholic Bill wit securities; he may be Minister, as they say i Scotland " until the cows come home." Would it not be worth the Duke's while to consider the great facility of settling the quarrel now, while Parliament appears generally favour able to him and his administration, compared to what it might be after a new election, when it - is indisputable that the Catholic interest in Ireland would return four-fifths of the represen tatives from that country—every man of them, not merely devoted to the Catholic cause, but pledged to a systematic opposition against his Grace on all questions of national concern, as a means of coercing him into emancipation, without restriction or security ? Besides, would it be wise on grounds of internal tranquillity, to hazard a general election in Ireland before that irritating queqion is settled ? " By the same policy by which other States have thus secured religious peace to themselves in Europe, the Government of England has secured it to itself in Canada. The original proclamation of the King, upon the conquest of the Province, introduced provisions which militated against the Roman Ca tholic religion; these were afterwards repealed, the whole principle of equal rights between Protestants and Catholics established, and religious peace is the result. The first Canada Act 14 George 111. chap. 33, recites, that the proclamation had been found upon experience to be inapplicable to the state and circumstance of the said province, the in habitants whereof amounted at the conquest to above 65,000 persons, professing the religion of the Church of Rome,' and 'for the most perfect security and ease of the minds of the inhabitants of the said province,' it is declared and enacted, 'that his Ma jesty's subjects professing the religion of the Church of Rome, of and in the said province, may have, hold, and enjoy, the free exercise of the religion of the Church of Rome, subject to the King's supre macy, declared and established by an Act made in the first year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, over all the dominions and countries which then did, or thereafter should, belong to the imperial Crown of this realm. Provided always, that no person pro fessing the religion of the Church of Rome, and re siding in the said province, shall be obliged to take the oath required by the said statute, passed in the first year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, or any other oaths, substituted by any other Act in the place thereof. But that every such person, who by the said statute is required to take the oath therein mentioned, shall be obliged to take and subscribe the following oath, viz.-4 I, A. 13.,, do sincerely promise and swear, that I will be faithful, and bear true allegi ance to his Majesty King George, and him will de fend to the utmost of my power• against all traitors, conspiracies, and attempts whatsoever, which shall be made against his person, crown, and dignity ; and I will do my utmost endeavour to disclose and make known to his Majesty, his heirs, and successors, all treasons and traitorous conspiracies and attempts, which I shall know to be against him, or any of them. All this Ido swear, without any equivoca tion, mental evasion,- or secret reservation, and re nouncing all patdona and dispensations from any- power or person whomsoever to the contrary.--se help me God.' " A subsequent Act, SI Geo. 111. chap. 31, divides Canada into two provinces, and establishes two legislative assets: dies in each, one representative, the other chosen by the Crown; they thus correspond with our Lords an-] Commons; and the members are required to take a similar oath to the oregoing, and no other. Ne IT, by the Act of Elizabeth, the supremacy of the Crown was estab lished iu Canada the moment it became a British province, as firmly as in England or in Ireland ; and all persons in office there were bound to take the oath of Elizabeth, as altered by the first of William and Mary. Neither of the Canada Acts disturb the supremacy of the Crown, lout both adapt the law , respecting it to the circumstances of the country. This is done, there being 65,000 Rearm Catholic in habitants, but substituting an oett Which Catholics may take; for one - which they ca;u take. Whet more do the Catholics of Ireland desire ? It is im portant to observe, that the first Canada Act contains a solemn, deliberate declaraticre tliet the King's su premacy may be preserved, although the test, called the Oath of Supremacy, be dispensed with, provid ed that other oath, which, members of the church of Rome may take, be subStituted for it. This, too, is done with reference to the admission. of Catholics to the highest legislative and executive functions. The principle, then, being thus establied, and having been applied to Canada, why shoM,I it not also be applied to Ireland ? Has not the old oath been found, upon experience, to be inaeplicable to the ' state and circumstances' of Ireland ? If it were wise—and who will venture to say that it was not ? —to adapt it ' to the state and circumstances' of Canada, where there were 65,000 Roman Catholics, would it not also be wise _to adapt ,it to the ' state and circumstances' of Ireland, where there are not 65,000, but 6,500,000 of these same : - Catholics ? • ... Could experience testify against the, oath s according to its present frame, more forcibly,' or more wofully in Canada, than it does in Ireland P : ris Ireland less worthy of consideration than ' Cnnada ? Are the Irish Catholics inferior to the Cenadian in truth, honour, or moral worth ? .No : nor to their Protes tant fellow-subjects either. Let the state of crime —let the state of education in Engand and in Ire land be compared, and Ireland, with her Catholic millions, will not be found below even England in the scale of knowledge, or of virtie. Her people are divided by violent animosities; but let it be re collected, that the law puts enmity between them ; that it ties them together, by principles calculated to produce not sympathies but antipathies. The law is, therefore, the great agitator of Ireland, and upon the law let justice be, done.. • Let it be dealt with in Ireland as it has been dealt with in Canada. What Canada has derived from the change, that will Ire land derive also, and then, at length, Will be effected that real union between Great Britain and Ireland which it was the great object of Mr. Pitt to ''necom. plish and perpetuate. • - e • - .. - " Of the effects produced by the policy pursued towards Canada, the reader may form an idea from the evidence annexed to the late report of a select committee of the House of Commons, upon the civil government of it; the following is an extract from the examination of Edward Ellice, Esq., a Protestant : " !When you alluded to a claim on the part of the clergy, did you allude to the Roman Catholic cleriii or the Protestant ?—The Roman Catholic ; and I think it necessary to state, that when I talk of the claims of the Roman Catholic clergy in Canada, I do not believe a more liberal, •beneiiiilent, or cha ritable body of Christian ministers exist in any coun try, or one whose conduct and habits are more ex emplary or praiseworthy ; and I um persuaded they will be found at all times disposed to lend them selves, consistently with the interests of their reli gion and church, to every measure for the improve ment and advantage of their country.' " The following are extracts from the examination of John Neilson, Esq., also a Protstant " Are the committee to understand from what you have said, that if both the Protestant and Ca tholic religions are protected in their establishment in that country, and there is no appearance of any de sign on the part of Government to infringe on the rights of one or the other, that you do not appre hend that there will be any religious animosities boa tween Protestants and Catholics in the province of Lower Canada ?—I should think so. It was not till 18.21, upon the rejection of the school-bill sent up by the House of Assembly, giving the direction of the schools severally to the clergy of all religious denominations, that there did not .e.ern to break out any great jealousy on the part of the Roman Catho lics. That confirmed them in the jealousies which they probably had internally before, on account of cer tain instructions already mentioned, but then they burst forth to a great extent; since that time they have gone on increasing., but they did not believe, nor dro they yet believe, that the Government of this coun try was at the bottom of it ; they generally thought that it was something started in the colony, and it. has not, in consequence of that, got to so great a height as it would otherwise have got; for amongst the body of the people at this present moment, no man asks whether his neighbour is a Catholic or a Protestant; there are Catholics f.nd Protestants in the same family and neighbourhood, and all living in perfect harmony. In truth, no country was ever more exempt from religious animosities than Lower Canada has generally been duriitg the 37 years have resided there. " Ave there any attempts to proselyte on the part of the Catholic Church ? ; I think they are the least proselyting - people that ever I have seen. I have been frequently at iheltoutes of the clergy, and they never talk to you about religion; generally the Canadian Roman Clitholics shun every conversation about religion. " Are the Catholic clergy mach respected by their flocks generally ?—They art: respected, I be lieve, by every body in the country; I lave never heard any body speak ill of them erierally. " Do they mix themselves up :n the general po litics of the province, or in matters disconnected with their own religion ? No, they never have interfered with politics to any extent ; they fenerally have kept away even from appearing or voti.!g at an election ; they do not think that it is eonsis ent with their in terest and religious duties to have any thing to do with politics. " Did not they materially assist the Government in the defence of the province during the war ? That is with them a religious dut . i.. In the war in 1775 they took a very active prq in encouraging the people to defend the country ; and in th•e war of 1812 they also took an active pat ; but the whole body of the people took an active part at that time; they were opposed to the Americans, and they were strongly attached to a connexion with this Govern ment.' " The circumstance of the Duke of Wellington having spurned all commerce with the; Marquis of Angleses upon Irish affairs, produced, as it w.:s well caleulated to produce, -universal indignation amon;,st the people of this country. The allegation that the cattle of the Noble Mar quis's recall was his refusal to overite? the law, and, in contempt of the law-officers of the C .3wn, extend the pu nishment of Mr. O'Gorman Mahon I ;eyond mere magis• terial suspension, heightened this h:dignation. But the scandalous whispers which have been :Yervading the public car for the week now passing, and tieir broad-day detail and inuendoes in the newspapers, hav2 excited exasperation to a pitch not equalled by any remin . scence that we have of popular wrath. When men (fiery deserve not the name) perpetrate that moral ruin by which family comfort is blighted and hearts are seared, they ~ we it to their victims at least to keep them above penury, and supply the means of aliment to the ity'ortlines who may have abandoned affluence and protection at their solicitation. The fact is, Lord Anglesea refused to act the pander, to smuggle the name , of a Countess well-known to the newspaper repor ters, into the coucordatum list ; and this was his pecratum peccatorum. —D n Freeman's Journal.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Prom the Mmager des Cliambres of Sundey.) Teter is no important news from the theatre of eta,. It seems certain that all that has been said of a iccet bettle in the neighbourhood of Yarns is des feu-e a: foundation : the position of the contending a: mies are still the same. Letzere from Bucharest, of the 28th of Decem ber, announce that a thaw had set in three days before, and that the roads continued to grow more and more imnas'able. The last litter , * from Lisbon are of the 6th of January. They confirm what was announced by the telegraphic despatch respecting the improvement of Don :4ieetiel's health. The Courier de Smyrne, according to custom, en deavo-nrs to place the Greek Government in the wnrst light. That journal, in its last number, says, " The Government could find no means of putting a stop to the alarming desertion among the troops of Ypsilanti, which threatened a total dissolution of his corps. but to spree , ' a report that a Turkish army had orders to invade the Peloponnesus. This news has produced a bad effect among the inhabi tants, several of whom have suspended the rebuild ing of their houses, and forming plantations. Cap tain Cr:exi has succeeded Bassano in the command of the Greek flotilla, which has done nothing but capture a Turkish brig anti a gun-boat in the gulf of Prevesa. The corps of General Church, not being able to undertake any offensive operations, con fines itself to useless demonstrations, which can not ,aye the Turks, and are very burdensome to Greece." ODgssA, DEc. 27.—General Diebitsch, the Chief of the Staff, left Jassy on the 25th of December for St. Petersburgh. General Strekaloff, who is ap pointed Governor of Tiflis, arrived at Odessa on the 25th on his way to his post. (From the Gazette de France of Jan. 19.) PARIi, JAN. 18.--The Diario di Ronza announ ces, under the head of Corfu, that the Ottoman Primates of Epirus and Albania having been cenvo ked at Berat and Janina, to receive a communice /ion from the Porte, inviting them to continue the war at their own expence, as the Government was unable to afford them any assistance, resolved not to continue so ruinous a war, but to negociate with the Greek Government. Accounts had been re ceived from Malta, that there were in that port five English ships of the line, and seven English frigates and brigs. Great exertions were making there to repair the fortiErations. The French are also busy in fortifying Patras. (From the Journal des Debuts.) (PRIVATE LETTER.) LISTO.I, JAN. 3.—The greatest activity reigns in the War Department, Orders have been issued to put in motion 4,000 men of the division of Chaves, who are divided among the provinces of Alernejo, Beira, and Tras-os-Montes : 800 men were to repair to Lisbon, about an equal number to Oporto, and the rest were to proceed to those points of the coast which are most easy of access. This measure proves that the Government has more confidence in the troops of the Chaves division than in those of any other divisions of the army ; it has, therefore, produced a bad effect on the regiments in garrison at Lisbon. (EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER.) Consternation reigns in the palace at Queluz, since the great council held there on the 30th of December. The Ministers of War and Foreign Affairs have had conferences with the usurper of se veral hours' duration. The abject of these confe rences is to find means of maintaining for Miguel an army strong enough to keep the inhabitants of Por tugal in awe, without taxing tilem for the payment of it. The result is said to be a decision to dimi nish the number of troops of the line, and substitute for theta new royalist volunteers, under the pretext that the existing army is that which, in 1320, com mitted so many .disorders, and which has figur ed in to many revolutions. Serious misunder standings exige between the volunteers and regulars. The councils of the Ministers are frequent, and it is generally believed tliat they are occasioned by the last despatches receivedfrem London cud the Isle St. 'Michael. The prisoners of state from Madeira are still on board the transports. They thus, at least, escape the cruelty of our prison-gaolers, eel the ...onerous maladies arising from the infected atmosphere of the prisons. Russian officers, and several hundred privates taken prisoners, almost all wounded, have been brought hither in a very deplorable condition, it is said, from Silistria. They are distributed on some islands near the capital, where they are attended by the physician of the Eur,p,ean Legations. The Sultan is said not to have shown himself well disposed to wards them. It was with great difficulty that the Austrian, Dutch, and Danish Ambassadors ob tained from the Reis Effendi permission to send them medical assistance, and to provide for their most urgent wants. The want of ready money is sensibly felt, and the Turkish Ministry is seriously engaged in devising means to put a stop to the increasing embarrass in;..nt. What it means to adopt is not known. Or dinary methods are not applicable in a country which has no regular financial system, and extraor dinary ones are dangerous, as the germ of discon tent exists, and the old esprit du carp: of the Ja nissaries does not cease to manifest itself under the most diverse forms. _ _ VIENNA, JAN.

GERMAN PAPERS. C O NSTA.V:.'INOPLE,DEC.I B .—We have news from Stryrea, stating that an European man-of-war had dete'ned a Greek ship, the papers of which are said, to have been regular, but whica chased fo reij off the Dardanelles, and in spite of the rernouetrences of the Captain has taken it to Smyrna. The ;eek Captain continued his complaints there, and .he affair is reported to the Minister of the Ne therlands in this city, in consequence of which it excite, some attention. By the death of Husney Bey, who was so high in the Sultan's favour, the pacific party think they have been rid of one of their chief opponents; but it is not likely that a change will rake place in the Sultan's way of thinking. All the appointmeete since the deposition of the late Grant Vizier have a warlike tendency, and leave but little hope that the Porte will consent to concessions or negociatioee for peace which do not seem honourable for the Divan. Meantime the discontented party do not fail to spread all kinds of unfavourable reports re specting the state of affairs. Thus they gave out that Hussein Pacha had vanished, but better in formed persons know that he had marched to Sills tria. Others, equally unfavourable, succeeded each other. It seems certain, however, that the Grand Vizier is prevented by the severity of the winter from undertaking any operation, and that the typhus has also broken out in his camp, and carries off nu merous victims. It is also observed that Asiatic troops pass the capital by circuitous routes, and le tunn to the coast of Asia. These circumstances had probably some influence on the more energetic war like prepaiatione ordered by the late &m an. The negociations respecting Greece are still the object of diplomacy in that city, and elmoet all the communications to the Porte refer to them. Little as the latter is disposed to ascent to the views of the Powers, it has adopted a eyeneee. which, without making concessions, promises to maintain amicable relations with all, so long as they do not of them selves break with it, and, like Russia, declare war. Europe has had opportnnitiee So be convinced of this. The French expedition to the Mores has produced no more change in the senti ments of the Porte than the bettle of „Nava rin and the departure of the Ambassadors did before; and notwithstanding these events, it considers Count Guilleminot and Mr. Stratford Canning as Ambassadors accredited to it.— The prudent conduct of the latter, and the con tinued endeavours of the English and French Ad mirals in the Archipelago to convince the Porte how much these Governments des:re to avoid a formal breach with it, have contributed to confirm this system, and may perhaps in the end overcome all difficulties, and lead to an arrangement of affairs. The arrival of Admiral de Rigny at Smyrna, who is ~.id to have gone thither at the request of Baron Von Zuylen, it at this moment important, and the confidence with which he is honoured by his Government, and which he was justified by his prudent conduct in the most trying circumstances, as well es the esteem he has acquired its the e:titnation of the Porte, make hint peculiarly qualified to act with effect on this occasion. It is probable, too, that the Russian blockade of the Dardanelles may have induced the French Admiral to appear in those seas to protect the interests of his nation. The negociatiotte with Mr. (Miley, the American Cori 1, proceed favourably, and a com mercial treaty, advantageous to bath parties, will soon be concluded. The acha of Egypt, of whose judgmestt a high opinion is entertained here, is said to have advised the Porte to grant ell possible faci li to the American co mmerce. We have no recent news IEOIII the 41Diy. &we 1/ <S ) *Anto • LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1899. The most important information in the French Papers is the following document, which has been extracted from the Augsburg Gazette. But the Messager des Chambre; doubts its officia lity—and this doubt receives some importance from the Augsburg Paper, which dates the de claration of M. DE JAUBERT under the head of DECLAR kTION CARRIED TO CONSTAI4TINOPLB BY W. JA BERT. " The declaration of the 11th of August last, which was delivered to the Reis Effendi by his Ex cellency the Ambassador of the Netherlands, in the name of France, Great Britain, and Russia, has male known to the Porte the motives and the ob ject of the expedition to the Morea. The imme diate result which the three Powers proposed to effect by that expedition have fortunately been attained. The departure of Ibraliam, and the eva cuation of the fortresses by the Turkish and Egyp tian troops have put an end to the effusion of human blood in the Morea, and extended tran quillity to that country ; but the work of the Powers would be incomplete, if, by the depar ture of their troops, the inhabitants of the Mores were 'exposed to new invasions. The Powers, therefore, owe it to their own dignity to prevent it. It is with this view that, at the moment when the allied forces are disposed to retire from the Morea, after having accomplished their pacific mission, th. three Courts declare to the Sublime Porte that, till a definitive arrangement, made in common with them, has regulated the lot of the provinces which the alliance has caused to be occupied by their troops, they place Me Morea and the isles of Me Cyclades under their provisional guarantee, and that in virtue of this declaration they will view, as an aggreazion against themselves, the entrance of any military foree into that country. " In bringing to the knowledge of the Sublime Porte this resolution, the Courts of Great Britain, France, and Russia, are pleased in acknowledging the wisdom with which the Porte has avoided a prolongation of the calamities of war in the Morea. They hope that, guided by the same spirit, it will be animated with a desire to terminate those ques tions which fur eight years have held Europe in a state of anxiety and agitation ; and that it will enter with tha three Courts on an amicable nego tion to regulate the lot, and thus secure the defini tive pacification of Greece. " London, Nev. 16. (Signed) " ABERDEEN. POLIGNAC. LIEVEN." It would be idle to make any observations upon the above document till we learn whether it is official or not• The Port Letter from Falmouth, received this morning, mentions the arrival of his Majes ty's brig .P/tcmper, Lietitenalt MgDLLY, frpra Sierra Leone in 54 days, having on board 40 prisoners, taken out of a schooner under Buenos Ayrean colours, by one of his MAJESTY'S cruizers, for acts of piracy committed on that coast. The contents of the German Papers are ono day for peace, and the next day the very re verse. The accounts are altogether so contra dictory as to defy people to know what they would be at. An article from Vienna of tha Bth inst. says:— " We know, from a good source, that the corps of General GEISMAR, which is before Widdin, has been considerably augmented, and that the Russians intend, at the opening of the next campaign, to pass the fortresses of the Danube and the defiles of Shumla, and to penetrate Turkey by Servia. This new plan is attributed to General DIEBITSCH, This plan occasions great uneasiness to Prince METTERNICH, because he knows that Servia and Bosnia are not well disposed towards the PORTE, and that tH inhabitants might easily profit by this circumstance to throw off the heavy yoke which has so long weighed them down, and perhaps follow the example of the Greeks. He knows that such a propinquity would have an effect on Hungary and Transylrapia ANCONA, DEC. 9,13. We are daily more and more convinced that an arrangement between the Cabinets of London and Paris and the Porte is preparing, and that the affairs of Greece will be shortly settled. It is affirmed that every facility is afforded to the Porte to enable it to come to a decision, and that a way will be opened for negociationa, and the return of Messrs. Stratford Canning and Guilleminot to Constantinople.— Couriers hastening from London and Paris to Poro3 are said to have conveyed most important instruc tions to the Ambassadors. The Admirals toe, and the Lord I-ligh Commissioner at Corfu, are said to hare received new orders, accompanied with the strictest injunctions to avoid every thing that might afford the Porte grounds for complaint. It is even affirmed in letters from Corfu, that Sir Pulte ney Malcolm has been blamed by the English Go vernment for the indifference with which he tolerates the new piracies of the Greeks, as well as for his conduct on other occasions. General Maison has stopped the works which had been commenced for the defence of the Peninsula, and seems to have left the completion of them to the Greek Government. The French soldiers, who, on their arrival, were en thusiastic in favour of the Greek cause, ara reported to be now much less so, and long for orders to return home. It is even said that General Maison has ex pressed such a wish in one of his despatches, but this does not seem to be suitable to the General's character. Frequent remittances arrive for the Rus sian fleet is the Mediterranean, and the large amount of the sums chews how great the expences are which Russia is put to by the war with the Porte. FRONTIERS OP SRRVIA, DIX. 28. There is a great deal of ice in the Danube, by which the navigation is wholly interrupted. The conveyance of provisions to the Turkish fortresses is thereby rendered impossible, for the deep snow hin ders supply by land. Some embarrassment is felt at Belgrade respecting the immediate execution of the orders received from Constantinople, for the supply of the troops and the formation of magazines in those fortresses. The contractors, in particular, appear to have forgotten one stipulation in the con trecs, eioption from responzibiflty, if they were hindered by had weather from fulfilling their engagements. This imprudence may cost them dear, for the Turk adheres strictly to the letter and admits of no excuse. Since the last mail, and the arrival of a courier at the lazaretto, we have no news from Constantinople, nor have we any thing worth notice from other parts. The report of an attack made by the Turks on Bazardjik, which I mentioned in a former communication as needing confirmation, seems to be wholly unfounded. The contagion in Wallachia is said to have greatly abated in consequence of the very severe cold that has set in. VIENNA, JAN. 9.—Metalliques, 196 i ; Bank Shares, 1,1121. The Port Letter, from Lynn this morning notices the arrival of the Maria, Capt. PAUL, from Kell. What renders this worth notice is the fact, that this vessel has been nearly two years on her voyage, laden with wheat, having put into Jutland and Mandahl, wl - ►re she had received damage, repaired, and sold part of her cargo. This must have been a very profitable voyage both for owners and cargo. We have received, this morning, the limn lurgh Reporter, of the 13th inst., and other Papers of the same date. Their tone is par ticularly warlike. The Russians are indefatigable to repair the losses of the last campaign for 000 pieces of cannon, and 150,000 irregular Cos sacks, and other troops are on their way to the Danube : IiAIIBURGII, JAN. 9. In consequence of the slight frost and snow which we have had for some time past there is a good deal of floating ice, particularly lower down the river, in consequence of which several ships both going down and coming up' have been obliged to lie to. The passage to and from Hamburgh is still open. PROM TIIE VISTULA, DEC. 26. The commercial letters :received from St. Peters burgh give no hope whatever that the war with the Porte will be terminated during the winter by diplo matic negociations, bi:t speak only of the incredible activity which is employed to open the campaign with an army twice as numerous as before. Re cruits are pouring in from all parts of the immense empire ; 900 cannon have been rent from the arsenal at Moscow to the Danube, and the cavalry depots are all emptied to supply without delay the loss of horses. One hundred and fifty thousand irregular Cossacks and other troops are on their march to the Danube. The Emperor, it is said, will command the army in person, and go to join it in the month of March. General Diebitsch remains at the head of the staff, and Count Wittgenstein will command the van of the Emperor's army. Ge nerals Roth, Geismar, and Rudiger, w►ll have se parate corps, to act on the Banks of the main army, and the Duke of Wurternburg :will command the reserve. An unauthenticated report says that the Polish army is to be increased by 10,000 men, but in no ease to be employed against the Tu r ks. It seems, however, that a division of it is to be in gar rison at St. Petersburgh, during the war with the Turks. There are many reports about notes said to have been presented by the great Powers, and even of an ultimatum delivered by the English Ambassa dor Extraordinary. We nun, however, afiSrm, on good authority, that all these reports are wholly unfounded.. The most perfect understanding pre vails between the Allied Cabinets, sad will not be interrupted.

Legere, Pressly, Bull, Holmes, and Nixon. Mr. Bull moved to be excused, but the House refused; the eause for this proceeding is not stated." We have received Newfoundland Papers, of the 23d ult. inclusive. They contain the par ticulars of a dreadful fire at Port de Grain, Con ception Bay, on the 16th, which commenced in the house of a Mr. J. JAcoßs. The premises were destroyed, and the unfortunate inmates, consisting of Mrs. JAcoßs, her three children, and two servants, fell a sacrifice to the devouring clement. Mr. JAcoßs was absent, at St. John's. We wish that Mr. PERL, while he is busily engaged in pruning the redundancies, rectifying the blunders, and making sense of the absurdi ties of our Criminal Code, would direct his attention to the wretched farco—the relic of a barbarous age, and therefore a disgrace to a civilised one—of drawing prisoners eouvicted of coining, on a hurdle, to the place of execution. The worse than folly of such a custom, was this morning practically exemplified. A poor creature who had taken his last farewell of life, and was awaiting with a sort of desperate anxiety the awful moment of death, who had bidden adieu to his friends and relativ4s, and was silently breathing his last invocation to his MAKER—a poor criminal thus happily abstracted, was called back, as it were, to life, and, consequently, to wretchedness, by the ridiculous delay attendant on his being placed on a hurdle ; which had, ,some how or other, been forgotten. Of course, such a farce could not fail to divert thought from its proper channel, and disturb the equanimity of a mind which had been previously resigned to the worst. We hope for the honour of common sense, if not of humanity, that it will never be repeated. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, T►►azrN o'CLocr.

LAW INTILLLIGENCI?..-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. BEDDALL V. PACill. Mr. BARBER opened the pleadings in this ease yesterday. The plaintiff was the brother of a Mr. James Lambert Beddall, who occupied a farm neur Braintree. This gentleman wns of dissipated habits, and unable to manage his farm himself, and there fore the defendant (Mr. Page) was appointed his bailiff. At the death of Mr. J. L. Beddall, the plaintiff became entitled to his property. On coming into possession, he thought he ought to hare got more, and being dissatisfied with the defendant's conduct, filed a bill against him for an account. The answer having been put in in consequence of a pend ing indictment for perjury against Mr. Page, and on which he was afterwards acquitted, the decree was taken pro confers°. Aggrieved by that decree, which, in point offset, went further than the bill had prayed, he filed the present petition to have that decree set aside. Mr. Norne and Mr. Barker appeared for the ap pellant, and Messrs. Sugden, Pepys, and Patterson, for Mr. Beddall. Mr. HORNE addressed the Court at cont:derable length. Mr. BARBER followed on the same side, and was speaking when we left. COURT OP KING'S BENCH. NAUTINI3.IO V. SMITU. Mr. GURNEY stated, that this was an action on a promissory note. The plaintiff was a partner in a banking house at St. Albans, and the defendant an opulent farmer in the same county. The action was brought to recover 8471. 14s. being the amount of three instalments, which remained unpaid from a prosnissory note for 1,9001. accepted jointly by de fendant and George Edwards, his son-in-law, in August, 1827. It was to be paid by instalments, and some of them were paid, but upon the plaintiff's clerk applying for those in arrear some demur was made to paying by Mr. Smith. Several respectable witnesses were then called, and proved to their belief that the signature was in the hand-writing of the defendant, who attempted to prove by cross-examination that being 70 years of age, he had been imposed on, and induced to sign on the supposition that he was signing a notice to quit, for one of his tenants. Sir .J. SC./31121r for the defence contended, that the signature was not the defendant's, and called ae veral witnesses to that effect. He also insinuated, that George Edwards had written the note over the blank signature of his father-in-law, which lie had fraudulently obtained. Verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 8471. 14s.

When the first ease was called on this morning, it being a Special Jury, only six: Special Jurymen were in attendance, and the Chief Justice fined Pe v eral of those who were absent in the sum of 10/. each. One of the summoning officere being also absent, he wus tined 40s. LANE v. WICKET AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re cover upwards of 4001., for his services as clerk to the Imperial Distillery Company, of which the de fendants were shareholders. There was very considerable difficulty in proving the defendants to be partners in the company, owing to the want of a stamp upon some letters which were offered as evidence of a contract, and which were therefore obliged to be withdrawn. The CHIEF JUiTICIi said he wished the stamp laws were altogether repealed, for his experience of thez clearly proved that they were productive of much mischief and of the grossest injustice. The plaintiff was the Secretary of the Company, which is now no longer in existence, and was em ployed by the Directors at a salary of 5001. per an num. He filially succeeded in making out a prima facie cases that the defendants were partners. ' Mr. Sergeant 'FADDY for the defendants contend ed that the Company was actually got up by the plaintiff himself, for the purpose of delusion, and that the defendants not having executed the deed were not liable, inasmuch as by the re . clitions of the Company at its formation, no one could continue a member, unless within thirty days he executed the deed. By not doing so, he forfeited his right to all shares of profit, and therefore the defendants ought not to be held liable, being precisely in this predica ment. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 3751. NIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY. THE CAMI3RIAN. The KING'S ADVOCATE applied for Head Money for the officers and crew of his Majesty's ship Cam brian. In the year 1825 the ship was stationed on the African Coast for the purpose of suppressing piracy. About that time she fell in with a Greek privateer, carrying 60 men, with which she had an engagement, and captured ; 14 of the pirates were killed, 19 of them made prisoners, and the rest, it was supposed, were drowned, the vessel haying been set on fire. The COURT decreed head-money for 60 men. Yesterday the despatches were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the pursers of the fol lowing ships, via. :--Farquhar, Captain John Cruick shanks ; Inv/is, Captain Joseph Dudcuan, for Bengal and China. WEST LONDON GAS COMPANY.—Yester day a meeting of the proprietors and holders of scrip in this Company, took place at the George and Vulture, Corn hill (Mr. Roberts in the chair), at which resolutions wet, euterod into, vesting the nomination of Directors, fa-A fixing the amount of salaries, in the Proprietors alone, and autho rising the Coulpsny to lend money on its own shares, at five per cent. till the 29th February. BODY STEALING.—On Sunday evening two dead bodies were stolen from the dead-honse - of St. Bar tholomew's Hospital, which contained six dead bodies at the time. The robbery is said to hare been committed by persons who are termed " Resurrectionists," who contrived to break open the deed-house and carry away the bodies nnperc-eired by the beadles and watchmen. A great deal of suspicion has arisen that the robbery could not bare been effected without the ail of some persons connected with the establishment. One of the dead bodies was that of a child who had been butut to death. A Coroner's Jury assembled last night to inquire into the cause of its death, when it was ascertained that, in consequence of the absence of the corpse they could not proceed with the in vestigation. The friends of the deceased were deeply atlicted on being informed that the body of the child had been stolen. The Coroner and Jury were of opinion that a serious inquiry into this outrage ought to take place, that a recurrence of the like might be presented. OLD BATLEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT.

EXECUTION-(THIS DAY.) The Old Bailey Was this morning the scene of the fi na l ex i t of Jantes Coleman, aged' 33, and James " r4 eder, aged 21 ; the latter for a desperate high. Way robb ery near Bethnal-green, on the sth of So- Yember when one of the party accompanying him was riding in the character of Guy Fawkes on a .donkey. The novel scene created a great crowd, ,and Alr.Brookes, an elderly gentleman, was knocked down and robbed of his watch, and a large sum of money; The prisoner, it appeared, was considered the leader of a formidable gang, and a young man a desperate courage. Coleman was convicted on clear evidence of coin- Jug; irr fact, so convinced was he of his little chance of escape, that when the officer entered the room Where two of the moat correct tricmlds for casting *Linings that ever were seen were found,. Coleman exclaimed tiatt he was a dead man. His wife was tried with him, but acquitted. This morning the two unfortunate culprits were : Warned by the Choler-Sheriffs, at the usual hour, that their end approached. Since the knowledge of their destiny their conduct has been highly deco rous, 'and they were engaged in prayer the greater part of the morning. At exactly eight o'clock Coleman entered the press-room. He advanced with a look of sad cheer fulness, and after being pinioned he walked across the room with a firm step, and seated himself on the form. Mr. Wormier was standing near him, and Coleman instantly rose, and shaking hands, thanked him for the kindness with which he had been treated. "Wheeler then entered. His youthful appearance AAd terrible agitation excited the commiseration of all present. He exclaimed, " The Lord have mercy tentl my poor soul!" an d con ti nue d p ray i ng mos t fer y during the whole ceremony. When the !nonfatal procession was ready, he grasped Mr. Wontuer's hand almost convulsively, and ble4sed him with such an earnest appearance of sincerity as deeply impressed every one. They then proceeded, but when they had arrived nearly at the foot of the drop, it wee recollected that Coleman's sentence directed that he should be drawn on a hurdle to die Place of execution, and the unfortunate man was led back some distance to undergo the ridiculous opera tion of being placed in a sort of chair on a sledge, and dragged by the turnkeys to the foot of the drop. Surely this miserable farce ought to be abolished. It can hardly, as practised, be considered an aggrava tion ef punishment, and, if not used for that pur- Pc") why use it at all ? We can hardly think that such a barbarous custom is retained for the sake of illicit/it usage. 'Wheeler, in mounting the steps, I : 43 wed to all present, and said, " God bless you all, gentlemen." He then appeared more firm, and when on the drop, and the executioner was tying the fatal noose, he begged Mr. Under-Sheriff I tiehardson to give from him an earnest request to Ilia brothers and sisters to walk in the ways of God. Coleman, who was deeply engaged in prayer, then Mounted with a firm step, and in a few seconds they breathed no more. Vdry few persons were present. EMBEZZLEMENT. (From the Times.) A respectable evening cotemporary (The Sun) ealightened its readers by reprinting the whole of a repealed Act of Parliament (known as Sir Thomas ,Ploteer's Act). This important matter filled nearly a colum n and a quarter. Would it not have been more beneficial to have published the existing enact ments upon the eubject—the' 49th and 50th clauses of Ir.

The Duke and Duchess of Clareneo gave a grand en tertainment on Monday evening, at their residence in Bushy Park, to the young Queen of Portugal. Most of the neighhocring nobility and gentry, some of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, the Cabinet Ministers, and a numerous party of the nobility and gentry, with the juvenile branches of their respective families, were invited to the entertainment. Preparations fur the party had been made at Bushy House for some days previous ; • the saloon had been fitted up as a ballroom, and had been tastefully chalked ky Mr. Glover, of London. In the centre were the Royal Arms of England ; at rune end of the apartment was the Order of the Garter, and at the other the initials "G. R." A temporary orchestra was erected in the apartment for the quadrille band; a mas sive chandelier was hung in the centre of the room. The steps at whirls the company alighted leading to the hall were enclosed. As the visitors were expected to be very numerous, Messrs. Townsend and Sayer were in attendanos to give directions for the regulation of the carriages. The company began to 'strive at six o'clock. The temporary entrance at which they sat down was bril liantly illuminated with variegated lamps, and had its front ornamented with two ancleore, one on each side, with cables attar:fled, and a large star in the middle ; the pillars at the extremities were h ung their entire height with variegated lamps. On the sides of the entrance were formed four Gothic arches of double rows of lamps. The end of the entrance adjoining the ball was hung with lamps in different devices. In the auidel]e of the front of the mansion was a large star, with a Crown with G. R. IV., & c. In the grand hall were stationed tic band of the Grena dier Guards, in full regimentals, led by their Rueter, Blaney; the livery-servants of the Duke and Duchess's Pleneehold lined the sides of the hail, and announced the names of the company as they arrived, which were tele graphed by the Pages into the drawing-room. The company, after passing through the grand hall, entered the Duchess's drawing-room, and from thence were usher ed thiough some bouduirs to the south drawing-room, where they were received by the Royal host and hostess.

The company continued setting down till half-past seven o'clock ; some of the visitera brought as many as seven children. The band of the Grenadier Guards played a number of pieces from the works of Handel, Weber, Ros sini, Paccini, &e., the celebrated march composed for Duonaparte's coronation, and other marches, in a very superior style. Quadrilles were danced during the evening, till just previous to the company proceeding to supper, when a country dance was called for (the Brazilian, so named by Mr. Hendon, in honour of the Queen), which was led oil by the young Queen and Master Arthur Wood, son ofCol. Wood. The young Queen appeared to enjoy the change, and danced remarkably well. At the conclusion of this (lance, it being ten o'clock, the Duke of Clarence conducted her Majesty out of the ball-room to the apartments on the first flour, in one of which a hot supper was served; the Marquis of Barbacena conducted the Duchess of Clarence, and was followed by the Foreign Amhara:l - and Ministers, and their ladies. After the depar ture of her Majesty from the ball-room, waltzing was in troduced for a short time; quadrilles were afterwards re sumed, till past ten o'clock, when clawing ceased, and the company were ushered into the old dining-room, where a very elegant supper was laid out for them. The Grenadier baud played seine charming pieces during the supper. The young Queen of Portugal and her suite retired at I I ij ' t.L.C}: lff*stF ryas conducted to her• ver.i.s.ge by the Duke of Clarence. Dancing was mimed after supptr, was kept up tor some time.

Wynne's by Woful Lord 'Wilton's by Cervantes Lord Gresvenor's by Master Henry Mr. Clifton's by Peter Lely FIGHT BETWEEN YANDELL AND DUDLEY DOWNS. This little match for 25/. a-side came off yesterday. The cold, very cold, state of the weather, as a matter of course, thinned the attendance of the Fancy not a little; but nevertheless there were some to see the fight. Shir ley's, at Staines, Was the rallying p&nt, and there the mus ter was observed duly, either by passing calls for inquiries, or full stoppages to eat and drink. Dudley has fought twice previous to this ; his first fight he won cleverly; in his second he snide a good battle, but was compelled to give in to Jack Tisdale. Dudley is by profession a typographer, a native of the capital of the Emerald Isle, who, with a hearty love for the science of pugilism, left his own dear country, a comfortable home, kind relatives, and many friends, to toss up his hat, not for fortune, but fur fame only, on the less green sward of Eng land. During hie residence in this country he has grown much in esteem, both as regarded his claims as a fighting man of light weight and as a good-natured, quiet, unas suming meek sort of man in common life. Yandell is an old stager, and has been in the ring now, at least, for ten years. Of late "he wanted flesh," and had fallen off in estimation ; he was matched against Young Ned Crafer, whom he beat, but his appearance on that day was unpromising, and he did not far redeem his falling reputation. But he has since been under the aus pices of Jem Burn, of the Red Horse, and it would seem has in some measure followed his young master's example. Jem is a moderate living young man ; he eats bat once a-day, but—that is all day long. Jean has consequently waxed fat,—Yandell, in apcing his betters, has likewise made weight.--Ide who, when snatched with Dudley, was old-looking, shrivelled, and spent, yesterday came out hale and hearty, seemingly a fresh man of 10 stone 4lbs., well trained ; while poor Dudley was only 9 stone 2 lb. Yandell had experience of generalship and tactics in his favour by acquirement, and of natural endowments, he had weight, height, and length of arm. To encounter these, Dudley had only youth and an ambition to " win a good battle." At Shirley's the dice was given far Wingfield Plain. The ring was there fixed, and thither the men, and the followers of the men, repaired. They entered the arena of the contest. Yandell had for his seconds Jens Burn and Jack Carter. Dudley had the attention of Tom Gaynor and Reuben Martin. Ilse odds were on Dudley sto 4. On setting to the disparity of bulk was very obvious. Dudley, who is neat in atti tude, eyed his man from top to toe, and from head to foot, and seemed to think a despairing glance ; and it was only a thought, for he went to work with grace and gravity, and fought beautifully and bravely. But the age of miracles has ceased. Dudley could do no more than he was able, and all that he could do was not sufficient to turn it so that he could have lead. Yandell soon felt his weight, and with a tatse' :ng seeming generosity, was full of compliment to Dudley, whom he kept telling, " yen an - :, good man," and eeelly pretested against the chaffing of poor Dowss. In the fight, Dudley, although he sheered guo,i— more than passing good notion—could not make his points bear. Opposed to so much superior weight and length, it behoved him to keep out to spar, tight slow, and look for points ; but of this the weather would not admit, being so cold it required a buoy turn to keep him on his legs, and this he could only do by fighting with Yandell, and when he did so, the other's personal advantages gave him all the best of the counter-hitting. Yandell bad received one left bander above the right eye that had cut it a little, but still left the day-light unimpaired ; and two right-handers on the left side, that marked their visits. Dudley was dark in one eye, and the other or, the point of eclipse. Ile had a gash in the forehead, and his nose shattered about a bit and streaming claret like a fountain. This was the state of the game at the end of the 37th round ; they bad fought then one hour and twelve minutes, when two Magistrates appeared and spoiled the sport. The whole body repaired to Shirley's again, and after some delay, set cut for Shepperton Range, where a fresh ring was made. Dudley was dragged out of bed, and taken here ; but one cause of delay followed another, until it was too late, being hard upon six o'clock, and as it be came so dark the time-keeper holding the watch could not " see time," and tine battle, with some quantum of wordy warfare, was given up for the time being. The tight now remains on doubtful ground, but a meet ing was agreed upon for to-night, at Jem Burn's, the Red Horse, Bond-street, to settle the point. JENI WARD AND STMON BYUNr.- The fourth deposit for this match w;11 be made this evening at Hurry Hulett, the Golden Cross, Cross-lane, Long-acre. Baowx AND DOBELL.—The fourth deposit for the match between these two " first-raters," will be made to morrow evening, at Tom Cribb's, Manton-street, Hay market.

Some scientific exhibitions are expected. TO TIIE POLICE: A letter from the Secretary of State for the Nome Department to the Court of Aldermen was read in Court. It contained a proposition, which appeared to be, upon the first glance, a very equit able one ; but the Court begged leave respectfully to decline it. Mr. Peel required to know whether the Court would permit warrants for the apprehen sion of persons accused of crimes to be available in the city of London, without being backed by a city magistrate. The proposal was accompanied with a condition, that all warrants issued by any members of the Court of Aldermen should have effect in all parts of the country, without being backed by a magistrate of the county in which the individual sought for happened to be. There was an unanimous feeling in the Court against concurring in this proposition, and it was de termined, without hesitation, to reject a menitire which would be so decidedly an infringement of the privileges of the citizens of London. An answer in accordance with this feeling was then resolved upon, and the proper officer was di rected to transmit it to the Secretary. PRACTICE IN THE ELECTION OF CONSTABLE. A practice has existed for a very great length of time in some of the wards, which has been a subject of animadversion repeatedly, but which until yester day was believed, like many other bad practices, to be immortal. It is with considerable pleasure we state that the abuse received a death-blow before the Court of Aldermen, who expressed much indignation at the existence of it. The following is a short his tory of what we allude to:— Mr. Rogers, an inhabitant of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, was at last precinct meeting of the ward of Farringdon Without, voted to serve as constable for the ensuing year,—a proceeding to which he objected, inasmuch as there were several other individuals of much older standing in the parish than himself who had never served, and he thought it rather unreasonable to require him to precede those upon whom the precinct meeting omitted to call. He accordingly made his objection, upon which the precinct meeting did him the favour to demand of him the sum of ten guineas, as a penalty for refusing to serve. Now, as Mr. Rogers by no means relished this mode of disposing of his ten guineas, he refused to pay one farthing., and of course the matter came before the Court of Aldermen. His objection will be collected from the following statement :—Six or seven gentlemen had been elected constables before he was called upon, and not one of them having any fancy to the office, would not meddle with it.— " Well, then," said the precinct meeting, "as that is the case, pay us a fine of 10 guineas each of you, and you shall be excused." This propesal was con sidered the less of the two evils, and they paid the sum demanded, so that in a very short time the precinct meeting had GO or 70 guineas added to its feuds. A person who heard of such fines would na turally imagine that they were appropriated to the payment of substitutes; but this has not been the case. The moment one inhabitant would refuse to serve, the fine was inflicted, and another was called upon, so that the payment of a fine imposed the disagreeable duty of constable upon several persons years before any equitable liablity could be esta blished against them. Besides, several of the in habitants took it into their heads, but for what reason he did not know, that the money collected in this manner from refractory inhabitants found its way in some shape or other down the throats of some few of the persons who were foremost in en forcing this injurious custom, instead of being ap plied to the purpose above alluded te, or to the truly legitimate use of feeding the hungry and clothing the naked. Mr. Rogers did not at all relish the suspected ap propriatice. He required to know in what manlier the fines were disposed of—whether the poor of the parish were henefitted by the imposition, and by what authority the precinct put their hands into the pockets of indisiduel.3 ; end the answers he received by no means satisfied his notions of the hesitating integrity of the managers of the business. He was told that the precinct, which was composed of all the inhabitants, had determined upon pursuing the system, had made the rule for themselves, and that the fines were not squandered in dinners or " blows out," as had been calumniously asserted, but were applied to defray certain contingent expellees for the liquidation of which there were no funds in the ward. He refused to pay, and was then required to suppert his appeal before the Court of Aldermen. The LoRD MAYOR asked Mr. Rogers why he re fused to serve the office of constable ?—Mr. Rogers should not have the slightest objection to share in the duties of the ward, if he thought himself called upon in his proper turn ; but he had been called upon out of his turn. Six or seven of those who ought to serve before he should, had been tined ten guineas each, and those fines imposed upon him, as he had refused to serve the duty of constable some years before be could in justice be called upon to serve. • The LORD MAyon asked what right existed for demanding tines. Mr. TAYLOR (one of the Common Councilmen of the ward) said, in reply, that the ward precinct had established the custom amongst themselves as the most admirable in inducing individuals to serve. The LORD MAYOR wished to know in what man ner the sums thus received were distril:Aed. Did any of the produce of the fines go in dinners ? (A laugh.) . Mr. TAYLOR (as well as we could recollect) said, that no part of the tines had been appropriated to the payment of dinner-bills this year. There were expenses arising is the ward, from the necessity of paying the collector of rates, and of defraying the charges for advertisements; and those were paid cut of the fines. _ _ The LORD MAYOR expressed his surprise at the existence of such a practice as that of fining. Some of the Court spoke of the practice as one which must he immediately abolished: and it was at once determined that Mr. Rogers should be ex cused from serving the office of constable ; that the individual who stood higher on the list should be called upon to serve ; and that six or seven persons, who had paid the ten guineas each to be excused, should forthwith receive back the same from the hands of the fine-taker—an office to be considered henceforward of no efficacy or avail. _ This decision gave the greatest satisfaction, when it was made known outside the doors of the court. Despatches were yesterday received at the Co lonial Office, from Major-General Sir John Keane, K.C.B. at Jamaica ; from Barbadoes, St. Thomas's, and all the Leeward Islands. A man is now exhibiting at the Richmond Arms, Basing, 100 live rats in a cage; and he intends exhibiting himself among 200 of the same vermin, al loWing them to crawl over him ; after which his dog Rover, cousin to the celebrated Billy, is matched to kill 100 rats in 12 minutes.—Lewes Paper. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—A few (lays ago a respectable looking female arrived in Ballyshannon, and took up her abode in the port. On the following day she was delivered of a son. In two days after the birth the child was sent to Bundoran to be baptised by the Rev. Mr. Nash ; but Mr. N. suspecting that all was not as it should be, at first refused to christen the infant. The woman, however, insisted on having it baptised, saying that if be refused she would report him to the Bishop. Mr. Nash interrogated the woman as to the particulars of the child's parents, and in vain endeavoured to elicit any information in that respect. He then baptised the child, and the woman returned with it to its mother. Next day the mother left Ballyshannon for the country, and in three days after returned without the child, it having, an she said, died the dAy she left town. She took her seat on the Dublin coach, and, we understand, was dropped near Ca van ; but nothing further has been ascertained about her. ...DuLlitt Freeman's Journal. GRAND TROTTING MATCH. The third deposit for the extraordinary match, in which 2001. to 1001. is betted that a horse or a mare cannot be found to trot in harness a hundred miles in ten hours and a-half, is to be made to-morrow evening, at the Dolphin, Coleman-street. This match excites singular interest among the connoisseurs in horse flesh ; and if the feat is accomplished, it will exceed anything of the sort hitherto attempted. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.

We regret to hear that there s great distress in Spitalfields and its neighbourhood. We be lieve that the ingenious artisans there have acted erroneously. They have driven a.,say a consider. able part of their trade into the country, by in sisting upon contract wages, value the work could be got more cheaply done at a distance from Loudon, even with the additional expense of carriage to anti fro. We wish the operatives (a,; they are called in England, the French call them industriels) were at last, in the march of i ntelleet, arrived at that summit of knowledge which should inform them that trade cannot be t;:e of y became heni s even t forced. However, the Spit a lfl e il s weavers are distressed ; and no matter how they must he relieved. So distressed are they, poor creatures, that to say nothing of food, we learn from good authority, mm take their turns in occup) ing iccessively, for half nights, the few beds they poseeste It it said, that out of 9,000 looms only ore-half are em ployed. We fear mechanism has something t o do with this ; but, no matter, practice must keep pace with discovery, and humanite ought, to alle viate the sufferings which, in the . first instance, spring from the adoption of nary mechanical in ventions.

The very exclamation, on which so muce reliance was placed, "Oh God, Oh God lam trepan ned," proves that the prisoner was by no means slow in making the discovery that a certain penal consequence was likely to follow from the act in which he was engaged—an idea that would not so readily have flashed upon him had he been reading his Bible or saving his prayers when the two officers burst into his garret. The whole question resolves itself, therefore, into the de e gree of guilt ; for no man can believe that the prisoner was entirely innocent. It is one thing to be a regular coiner, discovered by the finesse of an a g ent of the Mint, who worms him self into his confidence, and another thing to be the victim of a plan of seduction, art fully laid by such an agent prowling about to discover necessitous and credulous people whom, he may tempt by the pictures he may hold out, of an easy and safe wal of obtaining money. In this Metropolis, there are thoesands of poor wretches, who are only not guilty, because their innocence has not been attempted ; and the se curity of these people depends rather on their want of courage for the more daring crimes, anti their want of dexterity for the climes of finesse, so that 110 bona ,fide proficient in crime would think of associating with them, than in the power of resisting temptation, is 7 hotly pressed. But these last are the very persons whom a man who has an interest in multiply:lig convictions, would in preference select ; fns it must always be much more easy to trepan a simpleton, than to discover a finished rogue. Macdaniel and his gang generally contrived to tempt their vic tims to a participation in the ciimee of which they were convicted. Our contt•uporary of the Globe observes, that " where all are vicious, it must he difficult for such persons as the Solici tors of the Miut to discover which are the lease weak, and they must not be expected to reject the only evidence which can perheps be obtained, be cause it does not come from the youngest member of a partnership of colliers. It would also he bad policy to discourage the idea that men who as sociate themselves with others, more criminal . than themselves, are to be free from fear of be trayal by their elders in crime. The terrors of the law ought to hang over the recruits as well as the veterans." But as we hose observed, the veterans, from a regard for their own safety, will be cautious as to whom they admit into their ranks; because a fool may endanger them as much as a traitor. The people least likely to be drawn into such crimes as coining are the persons most easily trepanned. The conviction of such men as Johnson will have little e ffe c t au the real coiners, who will only laugh in their sleeves at the business ; and e e question the justice or policy of forcing crime by encourag ing attempts on necessitous sirrq•letons, by way of adding to the terror of the lees. We are at the same time aware of the difficulty in the way of a Solicitor of the 'Mint discovering., tin der our present system, whether or not there has been any entrapping. Where the agent goes directly to work, as in the case of Johnson, there may, indeed, be little difLeutty ; but the agent may employ another to h:veigle, and the solicitor may not know whether the knowledge has not been obtained through tl.e splitting, as it is called, of an associate. In the case of John son no precaution was taken by the agent ; and this, we are sorry to say, is the v orst feature cf the business, inasmuch as it presepposes some thing like the security derived fretn a confidence that little inquiry would be made into the means by which conviction might be obtained. The Globe has made some observatio is on what fell from us respecting the manner. of conducting trials in this country. " The tree reason (says our contemporary), we appreben.l, for not exa mining a prisoner is, the desire t.) save trouble. In nine cases out of ten (we a-e inclined to lieve in a much greater number) there would be no use in examining a prisoner. Where there is not evidence enough to convict a prisoner, ex cept on his own admission, the search after his guilt must necessarily be very tedious--the fox chase, which our contemporary speaks of, be comes so long that the horses are foundered.— There is scarcely any alteratioi; which can be proposed in the law of Englaed, which can be carried into effect without inert asing the num ber of Courts, and the alteration our contempc rary aims at is, we think, tele of them.— Another consequence which Must be foreseen in the examination of prisoners is, that false infer ences would be frequently drawn from the desire which many of them would have to conceal cir cumstances which have nothing to do with the crime of which they are accused. A person may be accused of shoplifting in the Strand, who, at the time of the commission of the crime was picking a pocket in Oxford-street. If it be thought an evil that men are now convicted on the score of their character, which the Chronicle objects to, this evil would inevitably increase if prisoners were subjected to a %ear,hiug cross examination ; especially unless tee other reform was eacted which the Chronieis seems to con-

template—of getting rid of the trial by jury, in order to secure the prisoner against the bias which character produce% in the minds of la., persons. We believe, that tbough un.:1112 im portance has been given to the matter by the followers of Mr. Bentham, to examine prisoners would be on the whole an improvement. In cases of clear and spotless innocence (where a man is acc►►:ied of stealing a horse, who has never even looked over ;,he hedge) to be subjected to an examination is cer tainly' a protecion. It would also, in some eases, increase the chances of convicting pri sonersju;tly, though we think also it would in crease the chances of convicting, for crimes of which they were not guilty, men who might be deserving of punishment for some other crimes. The good is not altogether unmixed. But in introducing this improvement', if it he thought of, there is one thing which, - according to the testimony of those who have observed its opera tion in the French Courts, should be guarded apinst, the en'rusting the duty of cross-examin ing the prisoner to the Judge who has afterwards to decide on his guilt, or to direct the Jury. In the " fox-chase" of criminal justice, the Judge then becomes the hunstncan, or earth-stopper : he necessarily he - :omes passionate in the pur suit of his object, and angry wish a prisoner who evades or baffles his inquiries. Meritorious as Sir J. Allan Parke may be as a Judge, we should be afraid to trust even him as a fudge, if the task was delegated to him of cross-examining and hunting out the guilt of a prisoner." — The above observations would require a more extended notice than our space will at present allow us to bestow on them.— We may, however, shortly state, that the pri mary consideration in criminal procedure ought unquestionably to be,—in what manner can guilt be most effectually discovered and inno cence most effectually protected ; for society has the deepest interest in the discovery of guilt and the protection of innocence. The extension or non-extension of our existing tribunals is quite an after consideration. The improvement of the means of attaining the great end of Criminal Law ought to be deemed paraluount to every other circumstance. If it could be shown that the criminal business of the country could be gone through by a process which would require only half the present Courts, but which would be attended with the disadvantage of convicting only a few more innocent men, and letting a few more rogues escape, the economy would be uni versally scouted. Why, then, should we hesi tate to adopt any improvement that added to the safety of innocence and the danger of guilt, merely because it added to the Courts ? The Courts are the means ; the end is the discovery of guilt and security of innocence ; and to neglect the latter for the former is to sacrifice the end to the means. The certainty of punish ment, too, diminishes the incentive to crime, while uncertainty has an inevitable tendency to increase crime. If by•dispatch we only provoke ,an accumulation of business, the . gain will not be great. But we entertain very different notions with respect to the power of examinatims from those ent:ertained by cur contemporary. He admits that L. would he of the greatest advantage to innocence ; and we may add, that at present an acquittal leaves often an innocent man under a stigma, for the public are at a loss to know whether he is acquitted merely because proof could not be obtained, or because he is really innocent. But with respect to guilt, it is not so easy to deceive a practised investigator as might at first be supposed. A prisoner 14 re quired, for instance, to tell his own story with out any interference with him. This always fur nishes some indicit?. Advantage is taken of the information to make inquiry in the sources Opened up. By means of the new information obtained, the prisoner is required to explain a variety of particulars, and Ice soon finds, if he has been fabricating a story, that he has entang led himself in a labyrinth of contradictions. The process may be tedious, but we believe it is in the end a sure one. Innocence is always seen in a moment ; the disguises of guilt give more trouble, but it is almost impossible that it should succeed. The acts for which men are put on trial uocier bad Governments, are often swch as merit praise rather than punishment, and hence the more improved tfie means of detection the greater the violence to the feelings of the good. The English mode of trial may thus be productive of rood by its defectivenese. But this is a separate consideration. We are sup posing that the laws are just, and that society has an interest in their being carried rigorously into execution.—Morning Chronicle. The political agitation in Ireland, and the confidence of the Popish faction that they will eventually be successful in overthrowing the Constitution, are kept alive principally by the persuasion that the Legislature of the Empire wiit in no circumstances overcome its reluctance to interfere by positive enactments for the pro tection of the existing Institutions of the State ; nor can it be denied that the past conduct of the Legislature has contributed, in some degree, to the propagation and maintenance of this dan gerous delusion. The emancipationists in Par liament, those of the Press, the speakers on their side of the question at our Public Meet ings, and the demagogues of the Catholic Asso ciation, all assume, as things not to be disputed, the impossibility of the question remaining , in its present state, and the further impossibility of re tracing any of the steps by winch the political power now enjoyed by the Roman Catholics has been conceded to them. They go even further thao this ; for they constantly =eine the impossibility of Parliament legislating with a view to prevent the mischiefs that are threaten ed, or to mitigate those that have already been produced by a precipitate and indiscreet course of concession. This bold and insolent tone of the enemies of the Constitution has not, we lament to say, been repressed as it ought by the friends of the Constitution. 'The latter have appeared to shrink from the avowal of a deter mination, which, if .they be really the friends of the Constitution, they roust necessarily have formed to retrograde rather than to advance fur titer in a course which circumstances have shown to be erroneous, and to deprive the Catholics of some part of that political power of which they have made so mischieOus a use, rather than increase it, if ever they should be driven to the alternative of doing either. That this is the fixed determination of an immense majority of the British people we are as confident a s we are of our own existence; and the time has unquestionably arrived when those British Statesmen who sympathise_jvitlx the feelings of the nation—who the true and genuine representatives - oC,the nation— to whom the natitn: loai with confidence for the defence and-protection of the Constitu tion, should manfully and resolutely proclaim it, When the last concession, including the elective franchise, was made to the Roman Catboas., the understanding among a large proportion of intellectual endowments to him as of external those who concurred in the measure—the under- and adsentitious advantages.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 20. ;NFRINGENLENT OF A PATENT-CROS3LEY V.BEVERLE In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, the Jun• found a verdict for toe ARCHES' COURT, J. 20._ This belly; the first day of Hilary Term in the Ecclesiastical Courts Sir John Nichol', the judge of the Arches' Court, with the advocates, proctors, and other officers, assembled in the dining room, where prayers were read by the chaplain. The Court was afterwards opened with the usual formalities. A practice has too (alien been resorted to in our Courts of trying men for one offence, and, if found guilty, punishing them for another. No body believes that the notorious Probert would have been executed fbr the solitary and some what doubtful case of horse-stealing on which he was convict, d, had it not been for his previous connection with Weare's murder, from the legal guilt of which he had purged himself by giving evidence for the Crown ; and other instances are too frequently occurring where previous cha racter seems to have much more to do with pu nishment than actual recorded guilt. This ap pears to have been in some degree the case with a man who was tried on Monday at the Old Bailey, for robbing the porter to the French Am bassador of some trifling articles of linen. No sooner was the verdict pronounced than the Counsel for the prosecution stated to the Court that " the prisoner was an old thief, that he had been tried 'in that Court before, and that there was very little doubt but he was the person who had committed the late extensive rob bery at the French Ambassador's ;" and he was thereupon immediately sentenced to twice seven years' transportation. That an old thief, and one who had been tried and con victed before, was a fit object for transportation, cannot be doubted ; but the last reason which is here given for treating him with the greater se verity is one which ought not to be offered, and which, at any rate, we humbly conceive, no Court or Judge ought to entertain. By the humane theory of our law every man is presum ed to be innocent till he has been proved to be guilty ; but here we have that principle in prac tice openly violated ; and a Court is urged to consider that there is little doubt of a man s guilt, after the police have been unable so much as to bring proof on which to sanction his com mitment, or to prefer an indictment. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof, and sufficient for a Court of Justice should be the crime of which a man stands convicted. To load him with other crimes, of which there is only the surmise of an Advocate partially instructed, is not just, and rather tends to realise a proverb almost too trite to be applied to the grave proceedings of a Cou rt of Justice—viz. the consequence which an ill name too often brings upon the canine species. —Morning Herald. The Duke of Northumberland, it is now po sitively affirmed, is to he the successor of the Marquis of Anglesea in the Vice-regal Govern ment of Ireland ; and, if the aristocracy of wealth and the aristocracy of rank went hand in hand with the aristocracy of talent and liberality, the people of Ireland would perhaps find but little cause to complain of the change. His Grace of IsTorthumberland is not only the wealthiest . of England's Dukes, but also, it is said, not the least liberal of his purse ; and with these advantages he might not unfairly hope to excite some prepossession in his favour among the people of Dublin. But his Grace is also unfortunately what the opponents of Emanci pation in this country, and its advocates in the sister Leland, term a downright Protestant—he is favourable to the maintenance of the Consti tution at present established in Church and State, and one of those who see no possibility of altering that Constitution, by the admission of Roman Catholics to political power, without destroying its very bulwarks. Now, in any other country,--nay, in any of the colonies of Great Britain—such a pre-fession of religious and po litical faith would never once be noticed ; and for the simple reason, that the people are happily not disunited by religious and political animosities— that• them.-are no parties who would consider such adjunct's as either militating for or against them—nor any individuals whose hopes would be elevated, or their `expectations dashed to the earth by the mere circumstance of the Ki ng ' s Representative ranging himself on the side of liberalism or throwing the weight of his influence into the scales of Toryism. But Ireland is like no other country on eardi ; and, what would neither be remarked as a griev ance, or noticed as a calamity, or hailed as a Wessing, in any lather, will give rise there to the most intense feelings of jel or disappointment, of gratitude or hatred. lhere is no common bond of union in the country—there is no love of it for itself ; but between six and seven millions of its people aapiring to the possession of rights and privileges from which they have been de barred by the laws of the country, and some where about another million who see no thing but ruin to themselves and the Conati tution from granting thecae privileges, and who strain with all their might to p&e;'ent the former from obtaining them. It must be evident, therefore, that in such a country the religious and political faith of a Viceroy will be narrowly watched, not Geis . as indicative of the sort of justice which the •./ contending factions may expect to receive at his hands, but as ehewing the temper of the Cabi net, and the piobability or improbability of its granting or not granting further concessions ; and woe to him who, like the Duke of Northnenber land, sides, in his political creed, with the mi nority, and rouses into ;Action the hostile and disappointed feelings of more than six millions of people ! A Nobleman of mild manners, of a firm but conciliatory disposition, and of sufficient talent to unravel the intrigues, and bid defiance to the exaggerations cf portico, might do much undoubtedly to counteract the unfavourable im pressions arising from his political creed, and - tea maintain the peace of the country without the aid of military fote ; but the mere factrc ),y in a of his Grace's haviiiglecepted the office of N ier country so distracted by faction, and ruined by ina ternal dissension, says but little in favour of his Grace's judgment, while, if public opinion may be relied on, nature has not been so profuse of BRRE AND PYLE V. JACOB. This was a case of appeal from the Court of the Sub-Dean Of Sarum, The question was, whether the appeal was-properly made to the Arches' Court of Canterbury. Dr. LUSHINGTON, on behalf of the appellant, con tended that the Court of the Sub-Dean of Sarum was a court of exempt and peculiar jurisdiction, and that the appeal necessarily lay to the superior court. He admitted that in ordinary cases the appeal was to the Chancellor of the Diocese; but in this case the judge of the Court of the Sub-Dean of Sarum and the Chancellor of the Diocese happened to be the same person. The Rev. Matthew Marsh was the judge of the Court of the Sub-Dean of Sarum, and was also the Chancelle , of the Diocese. Under those circumstances an appeal to him would be pre posterous—it would be an appeal from one judge to the same. Dr. J. ADDAMS followed on the same side, and quoted a variety of cases, which he contended sup ported the appeal. Dr. Donsos, on the other side, contended that the personal objection to the Judge was not made in sufficient time, and that it did not follow because the Judge of the Court of the Sub-Dean and the Chan cellor of the diocese were the same person, the ap peal should be heard before the same Judge. The Bishop himself might preside, or appoint a surro gate; and, therefore, he contended that the objec tion to the Judge was unavailing, and that the ap peal was to the Chancellor of the diocese of Sarum, and not to the Arches' Court. Sir J. NICHOLL said that the Court of the Sub- Dean of Sarum was clearly a subordinate jurisdic tion, and that in ordinary cases the appeal would be to the Court of the diocese. It appeared, how ever, that in this case the Judge of the Court of the Sub-Dean and the Chancellor of the diocese was the same person. The Registrar of the two Courts was also the same persoe ; and, therefore, the Court was disposed to think that both Courts, were consoli dated, and that one merged in the other. The Judge of the Sub-Dean's Court had already decided this case, arid the Chancellor of the Diocese might, therefore, have been said to have decided it. To con tend that the appeal ought not to be mad; to the Arches' Court, therefore, was, in effect, to de prive the suitors of the right of appeal. So far, therefore, he considered that the appeal had been properly made. It appeared, however, that the true grounds of the appeal were not stated in the inhibition which had issued. That document con tained a misnomer. It stated that the Court of the Sub-dean of Sarum was a court of exempt and pe culiar jurisdiction as a ground for passing over the intermediate court. As this document was a pub lic record, and might hereafter affect the jurisdic tion of the intermediate court, this Court could not pronounce for the appeal ; but, being unwilling to dismiss the cause upon this objection, ordered the case to stand os er until the next conrt day, to give the Counsel for the appellant an opportunity of con sidering whether any mode could be adopted by which the appeal could be admitted, and the juris diction of the Consistorial Court of Salisbniy pro tected. lIAMPAITON V. ITAMERTON. L► this cause, which was a suit for a divorce, pro tooted by Major Hamerton against his wife, on the ground of adultery alleged to have beam committed by her with Mr. John Ensile, Dr. LUSIIINGTON moved the Court to rescind the conclusion come to on the hearing of the case, as au additional allegation was prepared and ready to be brought in. The KING'S ADVOCAT2, on behalf of the wife, opposed the motion on the ground that no notice had been given. The COURT considered the motion premature. The allegation must be first given in, for it would depend very much on the contents of the allegation whether the Court would consent to rescind the conclusion or not. There should also he an affidavit stating that new facts had come to the knowledge of the husband which he believed he should be able to prove. Dr. LUSIILNGTON said the affidavit should be pre pared by the next Court day. The JuDGE said that, if there were sufficient grounds shown,he would then rescind the :allegation ; and if not he should feel it his duty to dismiss the wife from the suit. INSOLVENT NEBTOR'S COURT,• JAN. 20. Thomas Poynter was opposed by Mr. D. Poi, Loci:, on behalf of Mr. Worn'li, of Chester. The opposing creditor, it appeared from the evidence, was formerly in partnership with the insolvent, who, on dissolving partnership, was indebted to Mr. Wor rail 100/., for which he gave him a promissory note, payable by instalments; but not having paid any, Mr. Worrall commenced proceedings against him,- and he pleaded the general issue, and put the cre ditor to 501. unnecessary expenses. The insolvent, after his render to prison, wrote a letter to Mr. \Vora', inviting him to the prison, which he styled as the best in the Empire (meaning the King's Bench Prison); where there were Knights, Colonels, Lieutenants, and Gentlemen of all sorts. There was an election being carried on, the Borough of Tentf_.rden having lost its Member, and he (Mr. Worrali) woc;!4 hear able speeches from the hustings. They (the prisoners) led an easy life of it, and had tape shops, and in short every thing they wanted. The epistle concluded thus :—" I am very happy, 1 shall never pay you, and I pr►y for your pro sperity." Mr. Commissioner HARIIIS sentenced the insol vent to six calendar• months imprisonment. A few days since, as some labourers were digging nigh to a windmill, in the parish of Beedine, in this county, they discovered a human skeleton with a sort of dagga, or pointed knife, sticking between the fourth and fifth ribs oldie i,rt The skeleton was quite per fect, and thought, by professional razn who saw it, to be that of some unfortunate female who many years ago bra' been murdered by some villain, who had escaped justice.

PLAYING THE PAIZON.---Ye3terday Mr. ,Tohn Bryant, an elderly gentleman, with a rich Kerry accent, was placed at the b.,r, charged with being " drunk and very tipsy" in Chick-lane, Smithliold, between one and two yesterday morning. Rice, a watchman of St. Sepulchre's, stated that a little before two o'clock he met the gentleman in Chick-lane, walking along in a T..ery di ;,lied man ner, waving his pocket-handkerchief, and beating his ifierpresiblex in a very disor4ered state. The watchman, deeming it a very extraordinary manner for a person of his years and appearance, took the liberty of remonstrating with him, and advised him to go home. He asked him his name, and the pri soner instantly replied that he was a " reverend," and resided at No. 6, Fitzroy-place, Fitzroy-square. The watchman, who entertains a becoming respect for the cassock, redoubled his exertions to induce the reverend gentleman to go home, when Mr. Bryant became outrageous, struck his sober friend, and at length was, with much difficulty, carried to the watch-house. Alderman KEY asked the prisoner if he really was a clergyman ? The prisoner replied, that he had received orders, not holy orders, to go about pro curing subscribers for new publications. In respect to the charge of being drunk he should not traverse that ; but, with regard to being disorderly, he could hardly credit his being so. He had no recollection of what occurred during his interview with the watchman, nor hie subsequent visit to the Compter, but if he were violent or disorderly his friends were great rogues, and deceived him very much, for they, at all times, congratulated him on the milky mildness of his temper when he took a drop. The night constable—Your Worship, I had this man before on a similar charge, and a more violent character I never met with. The ALDERMAN observed, that the clerical cha racter was the very last he ought to attempt:assum ing an such occasions, as he was destitute of any of the attributes which should distinguish it—so briety, temperance, or chastity. He was fined ss. for being drunk. The next charge on the gaoler's list was then put up, when Mr. George illeek, a respectable-looking man, of gigantic dimensions, stood forward. He was charged by Iveson, a watchman of the same parish, who stated that about a quarter before two yesterday morning, be heard a cry of " Watch 1" in iieniLidield, and, htiving made his way to the place, found the prisoner and another, who was unable to stand front intoxication. The prisoner ordered the watchman to see him home, and Iveson offered to assist him as far as his heat extended, and then pass him on to the next night guardian. Accordingly, when he learned that the man lived at Bethnal green, he conducted him down Long-lane, where he left him in charge of another watchman. But Mr. Meek was at Charley's heels all time time, deter mined, if he did not do what this gentleman con sidered his duty, to punish him in a summai-y way. Therefore, as soon as Iveson was returning, Mr. Meek seized him by the collar, and, with a violence by no means to be expected from his name, nearly shook the watchman out of his great coat. Alderman KEY —Vas the prisoner drunk ? Watchman—Only about half drunk, your Worship. Alderman KEI —What do you understand by a man bring half drunk ? Watchman—Why, your Worship, he could walk and talk; therefore I con sider he was only half drunk. The same question being put to the night con stable, it happened, unfortunately for Mr. Meek's silver, that so many simple ideas did not enter into the constable's comprehension of the term " drunk" as did into the watchman's ; so the constable being of opinion that Mr. Meek was drunk to all intents and purposes, The ALDERMAN, after recommending him in future to adept a differeut course from personal chastisement, in case he met with a watchman who, in his opinion, is guilty of any dereliction of his duty, fined him five shillings. c.src 11.—Wh eat, per 751 b.

This morning the scarcity of good Sugar was more observa!)le than at any former period ; at several houses 300 and 400 hhds. were out sale, and no boards above 565. in value ; where good qualities appeared they were immediately taken off by eager buyers at former prices ; but, in many instances, the holders again were asking higher prices, which pre vented the sales, as the buyers would clear away all good Sugars at former prices, but they would not give an advance. At the close of the Market the estimated sales this day were 980 }duds. There was no alteration in the Refilled Market this afternoon. FOREIGN SUGARS.—There have been several ar rivals of Havannah and Brazil Sugars lately, but no sales are reported.

Gd., and afterwards a large pro portion was resold at the advance of Is. per cwt. The inquiries after Coffee by private contract consi derably revived last week, and if the holders had met the demand at the market prices, the transac tions would have been extensive ; they, however, are firm, and refuse to sell large parcels at the pre sent currency ; a small purchase of good ord. St. Domingo was made at 365. 6d, a 375. The only public sale to-day 34 casks Dutch descriptions, good ord, gray, which sold at 465. a 475.

For all descriptions of Wheat has been a fair demand, without any al teration in value. Malting Barley dull of sale, and prices barely supported ; grinding qualities 6d. per boll lower, and the sales limited. Oats have been in limited request, at a reduction of 6d. per boll on the middling and inferior descriptions, while prime qua lities without any alteration. lb.; it wa; ultimately agreed that a rise of Id. per lb. shout i immediately take place.

A Vestry Meeting of the Inhabitants of this pa• rich was held at ten o'clock Yesterday morning, for the despatch 6f general business, Mr. Churchwarden Dow in the Chair. Mr. CORDER. reported that he had applied to Mr. Roche, the late Vestry Clerk, for the title-deeds of the estates called Much-Totham and Burle's Farm, in Essex, belonging to the parish, and Mr. Roche told him they ►•ere in the possession of the surviving trustees, Messrs. Stone, Sant, and Curlewis, all of whom were now residing ont of the parish. He had applied to those gentlemen, but they declared they had not the deeds, and that they believed they were in Mr. Roche's office. He next applied to Messrs. Wrights, the bankers, who informed him that the deeds had never been committed to their care. A resolution was then passed, authorising lega proceedings to be commenced against the parties, for the recovery of the deeds. Some other business having been disposed of, Mr. CORDER begged to make a few observations with reference to a transaction which had brought his name before the public in a police report. Ho did not address them as an assembled vestry, be cause he did not consider himself amenable to them in that capacity for his private conduct, but as neighbours and friends, amongst whom he knew the value of private character too well not to defend it. He complained of the report in the newspapers, of his appearance at Union-hall, charged with disor; derly conduct, and he had great reason to complain. That report entirely suppressed the fact, that a country gentleman of great respectability, Mr. Oak; ley, of Hampshire, who was wholly unknown to him, was passing at the time, and was so struck with the improper conduct of the watchman, that he insisted on accompanying him to the watch; house; but when he arrived there he was refused admission. Upon remonstrating, however, he was admitted, but not allowed to say one word aga inst the watchman. He offered his card to him (Mr. Corder), but the Dogberry of the night refused to let him see it, and tore it in pieces. Mr. Oakley was to have left town for Portsmouth at eight o'clock on the following morning, but he remained here on purpose to give his evidence at Union-hall. There, however, it was refused; and the moment Mr. Chambers, the Magistrate, heard that the per son charged was Mr. Corder, the vestry-clerk of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, not one word would h e al low him (Mr. Corder) to sz;y, but insisted on com mitting him for the assault, although no assault was committed or complained of; and bound over rho watchman and night constable to prosecute, and even sent his own clerk to prefer the indictments the Grand Jury being sitting at the time. Mr. Oaklef was in attendance at the Surrey Sessions to give, evidence if required; but the Grand Jury i g nored the bill in less than two minutes, after hearing the evidence of the watchman and constable. Mr. Cor der proceeded to complain that the circumstance, trivial as it was, had been used for party purpose/Sr and that his opponents and their agents were eYen now actively engaged •ix slandering his character. He trusted, however, t7r , i• his observations would obtain the same publicity as had been given to the charge against him. It was a curious fact that the report did not appear until Thursday, although the occurrence took place on the Monday. Several of the parishioners expressed themselves perfectly satisfied with Mr. Corder's statement, and some of them said the malignity of his enemies could not at most make more of it than the " Christmas frolic" of a young unmarried man. The Meeting then separated. SIIIPPINO INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL. MONDAY, J.AsuAttir 19.--Wind water la minutes past eleven.---Arrived the &sob and Caroline, Prince, from Charleston; Wm.

DARING BMIGLARY.—A burgiary of the most daring desetiption was committed last week on the premises of the Rev. John Lockwood, in the village O f Coo Yon, Surtey, five mike beyond Croydon. About four o'clock in the morning, a stable lad, in the employ'°' Mr. Lockwood, who slept in a room detaebed from th e mouse, over the stables, was alarmed by the entrance of g number of ruffians (according to some accounts not lee s than nine),' who immediately proceeded to bind him Lao's and foot. They then questioned him respecting the otter her of male persons in his master's house. The lad told them that there were six :—Lie master, the man-wrvant , 'ad four gentlemen, visiters. Undaunted by the boy's itf" formation, they asked him in what part of the house his master kept his plate, &c. ; and, by their threats, dreg from him the truth—namely, that it was always placed il l his toaster's bed •roous. They then left him, bound closeli to the bed-post, and proceeded in their desperate purpose' Mr. Lockwood was first alarmed by strange voices in bi', / room ; fur, before he was aroused, the men had effected an entrance at the window by means of a ladder, which they had taken from a gentleman's residence called Het' ley, distant about three-quarters of a mile from the scene of attack. Mr. Lockwood was this night unre t vided with any weapons of defence,--a thing very tit:maw' for him, he seldom sleeping without his gun in his roolP' He arose, however, and made an alarm, and was joined hi his man-servant, and, together, they prepared to d er what resistance they could. It should be mentioned, that notwithstanding the boy (who stated only wltt'he though t to be true) bad said that there were four gentlemen in the house besides Lis master and servant, that in reality th is was not the case. The gentlemen had left that night afte C the boy had retired to rest. The statement, however, i t shuuld seem, had a good effect, for on hearing the stir 0 the house, and possibly fearing the number they mig b : meet with, they retreat e d f rom th e d we lli ng -h ouse wisho'l" effecting the object of their search. They took with thet a from the house only a shooting- coa t, an d a f ew ar ticles ° little value. After this they proceeded a second time tp the stables, and led oat a pony and pony-ch a i s e, 10 , i / paid another visit to the imprisoned lad, to ask him the pony had been trained to draw. They were answer ( ' in the negative : nevertheless, they harnessed, him to t h !, chaise, but finding that he was too restive.for their PIP:, pose, they took only the pony. No suspicion as yet re 6l " on any particular party all that Las been heard s ince , which seems at all connected with the robbers, le, nine men, about live o'clock in the morning of the at tack, were seen to pass threugh the turnpike at Smithid• Bottom, on the Brighton road, with the pony heloogieg to Mr. Lockwood in their possession, which was afte: wards found by the road side. The village of Coulsdou a very retired spot, about two miles from the high roil but, till the present season, it has been, less than n o s places, molested by depredations of this nature. The as° e night on which the ale:we burglary took place the inrnat' of Garston Hall, in Coublen, were aroused by the 10 : usually loud barking of the dogs, which doubtless was i n consequence of some part of the gang lurking about t 4, premises. Nothing, however, was attempted there. ----- At her father's, the Earl Cornwallis's Louse, Hill-stree t) the Lady Jemima Wykeham Martin, of a son and heir.

ESTATES IN SCOTLAND, TO BL SOLD ByPrivate Bargain, or Public voluntary Roup, on a day to be afterwards fixed and intimated, 'THE LORDSHIP o f BADENOCH 11- (with the exception of Kinrara and Easter and Wes ter Lyiavuilg), as it was possessed in property by his Grace the late Alexander Duke of Gordon. This beautiful and very extensive Estate, comprehending upwards of 108,000 Acres, is situate in the southern dis trict of the county of Inverness, in the centre of the High lands of Scotland, and nearly at an equal distance from the east and west seas. The rent payable at present is 49121. Is. The public burdens are moderate, the teinds valued and exhausted in the parishes of Laggan and Alvie, with but a small balance subject to an augmentation of stipend in the parish of Kingussie. The whole Lands hold of the Crown, and afford above seven Freehold Qualifica tions in the county. The Estate possesses many advantages, which cannot be easily detailed in an advertisement. Although principally a grazing country, and adapted more for sheep and black cattle than for growing corn*, yet it has great capacities of improvement as an agricul tural district, and along the banks of the river Spey, through the whole extent of the Lordship, there are very extensive tracts of fine natural Meadow, with a number of Arable Farms in a high state of cultivation. Limestone rock abounds in it, and Slate Quarries have been found in the bilk in different parte, though not hitherto very ex tensively wrought. There is also strong reason to believe that in one dis trict of it, extending from the Burn of Gynag, at the vil. lage of Kingussie, to the Burn of Tighnacaimb, there are veins of lead ore, specimens having been dug up by an ex perienced mineralogist some years ago. The Estate forms one of the finest shooting tracts in Scotland, there being throughout its whole extent an un common abundance of game. Grouse and ptarmigan are plentiful ; the forests of Gaic and Drumuachter are full of red deer; and wild duck•, snipes, and plover are numerous in the marshes and fenny lands along the river. There are several lakes and pieces of water in the districr, abounding with trout of various kinds, char, and pike ; and although at a great distance from the sea, salmon find their way up the Spey in the early part of the year, and may be caught by the rod throughout the season. This Estate, therefore, may be considered either as a valuable investment of money to a capitalist, or m a pe culiarly desirable purchase for a sportsman. Should tin lordship not be sold as a whole, it will af terwards be divided into the following Lots, for the ac commodation of intending purchasers : Lot let, Commencing at the march of Lochaber, and lying on both sides of the River Spey, comprehends the following FARMS, viz. :—Moy and Kyleross, Garvamore, Garvabeg and Shirrabeg, Shirramore, Dalchully and Tur fadown, with Kylarachel and Crathycroy, to the Burn of Aitmarkie, including a proportion of the Hill Grass in Drumin, as will be marked off by a land surveyor, and the boundaries, when fixed, pointed out on the spot. The present rental is 11951. Lot 2d, Lying on the north side of the river Spey, and extending from the Burn of Altmarkie to the river Calder, comprehends the following FARMS and GRAZINGS, viz.—Crathymore and Mill, including Balamishaig and Coull, Blargymore, with bland-Du, Croft Carnil and Croft Croy, Gaergask, Gaskbeg, Gaskmor, Balgowin, Ovie and Aeh mor , i nc l u di ng a proport i on o f t h e hill graz i ngs in Drumin, on the south side of the Spey, as will be marked off by a land surveyor, Bealidmore and Coronach, with the grazing on the north side of Loch Eric. The present rental is 9671. Lot 3d, Lying on the south side of the rivers Spey and Mashie, comprehends the following FARMS and GRAZ INGS, viz.—Strathmashie, Druimnoird and Mill, Blar gYbeg, Breachachy, Coraldy and Corrachy, Little Dal whinnie, Shanvall, Nessentully, Crubanmor, Crubanbeg, Presrtauckerroch and Druiminlaggan, Cockburn Croft, with the whole of the Hill Grazings in Drumuachter.— The present rental is 10251. 10s. Note.—The above three lots are in the parish of Lag gan, except the farm of Bealidmor, which is in the parish of Kingussie. Lot 4th, Comprehends from the Burn of Strone to the march with Belville, at the Burn of Tighnacainlb ; the FARMS and GRAZINGS' a r e , B a ll ac hroan, Pitmain:and Inn, Ardbroilachd, Village and Lands of Kingussie, Gar roline, Boatman's Croft, Meal Mill of Kingussie, Breackary, Kerroumeannach, and Laggan of Kingussie. The present rental, including the fin-duties of the village, is 9101. 11a. Lot sth, Comprehends the three ploughs of Ruthven, with the forest of Gaic, lying en the south side of the Spey ; the FARMS and GRAZINGS are Druimgelavie, Knappack, Ruthven and Crofts, Brae Ruthven and Mill, Gordon-hall and Gaic. The present rental is 5481. Note.—The above two lot; are in the parish of Kin gussie. Lot 6th, Comprehends the following LANDS lying be twixt the marches of Dunachton on the west, and Dalcaddie on tlae east, and on the north side of the river Spey, in the parish of Alvie, viz. :—Pitiehiren, Pitourie, and Dallifour. The present rental is 256/. Also to be SOLD, the ESTATE and BARONY of KINCARDINE, lying in the united parishes of Kincardine and Abernethy, and county of Inverness, and consisting of upwards of 12,000 Scots Acres. This is a peculiarly desirable purchase for a sportsman, Glenmor, with Loch Morlich, which are embosomed with in its hills, affording facilities for shootiag and fishing that are not often to be found in the Highlands of Scot land. The highest range of the Grampian Hills bounds it on the south and east, Strathspey on the north, and the romantic scenery of Rothiemurcus on the west. The forest of fir wood that formerly grew in the Glen, was of the largest dimensions, and of the finest quality that ever was seen in the island, and was sold to a❑ Eng lish Company about fifty years ago for a sum of 10,0001. Having been all long since cut down, the ground is again replanting itself, and at present there is a very fine ap pearance of a thriving natural young wood nearly of the same extent as formerly, and which, in progress of years, will becorse of great ♦alue. The lands and grasings are rented low, amounting only to the sum of 3981. 103. but the investment of capital here is to be looked to less as pro ducing immediate income than future advantage. The search for precious stones in hills so far-famed and well known as the Cairngorm, holds out no visionary induce ment to a purchaser for attempting to turn this to even tual profit, by a certain expenditure at first, conducted on scientific principles; and the woods, as they advance, will give a yearly return from their thinnings, independent of the produce of the land and their ultimate worth. The public and parochial burdens are moderate, the teinds are valued and exhausted, and the valuation in the mess-book affords a Freehold Qualification in the county. Farther particulars may be learned by application to Wm. Paul and L. Mackeisy, accountants, Howe-street, Edinburgh ; to Spottiswoode and Robertson, solicitors, Great George-street, Wastminater ; Alexander Shepperd, solicitor in Inverness ; H. and C. - Unladen, advocates in Aberdeen ; or to John Morison, W.S., Abercromby-place, Edinburgh, in whose bands are the title-deeds.

Adamson, arrived from the Mediterranean on Wednesday, with invalids arid returned stores. Viee-Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm was at Malta when she sailed, with the Asia, Windsor Cisec, Revenge, Spartiate, Wellesley, Madagascar, Blonde, Rattlesnake, Hind, Meteor, Infernal, and Mastiff; the Samarang was at Navarin; Pelican, at Zante ; Ocean and Isis, at Smyrna ; Pelorus, at Algiers ; Rifleman, at Candia ; Dartmouth, at Gibraltar. The Britomart had gone to Lisbon ; ,the Orestes transport was fitted as an hospital ship; the Ann and Amelia and Egginton transports were fitting for England, as %veil as the_Calypso yacht. Part of the Russian squadron was at Malta, and the re mainder was off the Dardanelles and at (lindia, and had destroyed several Egyptain men of war, on a pretence that they were assisting the Turks. Three Dutch ships of war, and several French transports 'were also there. Three Austrian men of war were lying off Tangiers, when the Neva came through the Gut, demanding satisfaction of the Emperor of Morocco, for detaining some vessels of that nation. The Challenger, 28, Captain Fremantle, has ar rived at the Cape of Good Hope, on her route to the Swan River,. at which spot the apprehensions of interruption once entertained from a superior settlement from France are now removed, by the fact of that nation having fixed on a point to col°• nize, in lat. 25 S. (which is distant north of the Swan River 420 miles), called Shark's Bay, within which it is understood there is an inlet called Frey ceynet's Harbour. The country in its neighhour hood partakes of the same nature as that of the whole west coast, namely, light soil, thinly covered with beach sand, for ten miles froM the coast, a cir cumstance accounted for in the continual westerly winds. It possesses, howyet t xod herb'age, and is well adapted to the production Ortarleh, and to gardens. It is , moderately ..wooded, never exceed ing forty trees to the acre, and sometimes' in the same space are to be found oaly.two or three trees. Water, in all places, is in abundance; it springs from the range of hills that appears to run'the full distance of the coast, and parallel to it; at the foot of the hills the sand disappears, and there the mould is deep and rich. The same description of soil exists in the valleys among the hills, as on the east side of the range. With respect to Swan River, a contiguous harbour is greatly needed. Gage's Roads, which lie off its mouth, is not secure; and Cock burn's Sound, though an excellent harbour for ships, is nearly 100 miles from it. Vessels to reach it must make detour seaward, round all the reefs; small vessels, however, can make a shorter cut. The Dryad frigate, Hon. Captain Crofton, left Genoa for England on the 9th April; she was to call at Gibraltar, and would remain there some days. The Warspi!e, 74, Captain Sheriff, with Rear- Admiral Baker's flag, will sail on Tuesday next, for Plymouth, for Rio de Janeiro. She carries out some supernumerary seamen for the squadron, which the Conliance steamer conveyed to her on Monday last from the River. Lieutenant Wood and a party of the Royal Marine Artillery is also embarked in her, The Briton, 46, Captain Hon. W. Gordon, M.P. returued to this port yesterday from Plymouth, hav ing conveyed thither seamen for his Majesty's ship Warspite. The Onyx, Lieutenant Bottler, arrived this morning from Plymouth. Woolwich, The for the 18, is e- r a West Indiastation.missi.oned His Majesty's sloop Cordelia, 10, Commande►' Boyle, sailed, on Thursday se'nnight from Ply mouth, for Cadiz and Malta, to look ►n at Gibraltar on her way through the Gut. His Majesty's ship Clio, Commander R. Deans, was paid off at Ply mouth on Thursday se'nnight. The Athol, 28 gunS, has been commissioned this week by Captain Alexander Gordon. The follow ing officers are appointed to her :—Lieutenants James Inman, R. E. Martin, Mr. J. H. Burgess, Purser, Mr. A. Fisher, Surgeon, Mr. J. K. Ballard, Assistant-Surgeon. The Athol is intended for the African station. Mr. Dickman, of the Sybille, is pi omoted to be Lientenant of the North Star. The Honourable Company's ship William Fair lie, from China, pessed by for the River on Wed nesday, landing her passengers here. She sailed from Canton on Christmas-day, and called at the Cape and St. Helena; at the latter island she left free traders Medina and Bussorah Merchant, home ward bound, and the North Star, Captain Arabin, bound to Rio Janeiro, from the Coast of Africa. — The Helican sloop of war had left that island for England, but was to touch at Ascension. The brig Guardian, from Cadiz, with wine, came into harbour on Monday, having sustained damage in a gale of wind ; the barque Harriet, from Sierra Leone, with timber, arrived on Tuesday, with the loss of her mate and five men on the passage from fever. In addition to the piece of plate presented to Mr. Hammick, late Surgeon to the Plymouth Hospital by the Assistant-Surgeons of that establishment, the officers and families of the officers of the same department, in token of their estimation of his hu manity and professional skill, have, presented him with an elegant Silver Soup Tureen, with his arms engraved thereon, and also the following inscrip tion :—" Presented by the Officers of the Royal Naval Hospital at Plymouth and Families recently belonging to it, to Stephen Love Hammick, Esq., First Surgeon, as a token of their esteem and regard on his retirement from the public service." A Correspondent, in allusion to a paragraph which appeared in the London Papers, and was copied into this Papet last week, referring to the effect produced on his Majesty's ship Gloucester, by firing guns from her stern, remarks— " The Gloucester, without receiving any previous notice, was cleared for action, and the firing com menced from thirteen guns—four from the lower deck, four from the upper deck, four from the quar ter deck, and from one carronade on the poop. Twenty-five rounds of shot were fired from all these guns in forty-five minutes; frequently two and some times three pieces of ordnance were discharged simul taneously. After this tremendous firing of 325 charges had ceased (and it is to be recollected that these guns were discharged from a much less space than the same number would have been from the broadside), the ship was minutely examined, to ascertain the effects from concussion, when it was found that her fabric and all the solid stools, the housing to the quarter galleries, the steward room, and water-closets, were in as perfect a condition as they were prior to the cannonading ; and that the only parts which were in any way disturbed, were the lining to the stools, lining to the port holes, and some of the ornamental mouldings,—thus proving the strength and solidity of the fabric, and the ad vantages arising from circular sterns, advantages which were found in battle, and highly spoken of in his Majesty's ships Revenge and Asia." Robberies by female servants were never more frequent than they are at present. This, in many in star.ces, is occasioned by their fondness fsr dress, or their becoming acquainted with thieves, who in the first in stance ingratiate themselves into their favour, as pretended lovers, and then prevail on them to rob their masters and mistresses. The receivers of stolen goods are now be coming so numerous in every parish, that the facility with which plunder can be disposed of, is a great excitement to theft, and is one cause of the alarming increase of robberies. MILITARY Music.—This was the first time I ever heard the whistling of balls. The reader will per haps expect that I should exultingly exclaim with CHARLI:s XII., " Henceforth this shall he my music!" But candour obliges me to confess that such a noble idea did not enter my thoughts ; for, however harmonious the bulls may have sounded in the ears of the Swedish hero, to me they certainly did not convey the same degree of pleasure that I have since experienced from the voice of a CATALANI, or from the bow of a LINLEY ; on the con trary, the noise which tlt , ), made, as they glanced past my head, raised about the pret'incts of my heart a kind of awkward sensation, not at all allied to pleasure, and par taking more of what is vulgarly called fear, but which, as a military man, I dare nut dedgnase by that name.—, Twelve Years' Military .4.eiretteftre, vol.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated May 2.) PAIZIS, MAY I.—lt is affirmed that riots caused by the dearness of corn have taken place in the town of Blanc, in the department of the Indre, and that tu multuous assemblages of the same nature have been formed in the environs of Chateau Dun. It is affirmed that the cause of these disturbances is the sending a great quantity of corn to Paris. His Royal Highness the Duke de Chartres set off this evening for England, accompanied by Ge neral Baudeaud. His Royal Highness will visit Scotland and Ireland. The Duke of Orleans ac companies them as far as London. Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, the Marquis Palmella arrived here from London. The Jean Bart arrived in Brest harbour on the 17th of this month. It is not yet known what news she brings from Brazils. We learn from Tunis, that the French division blockading Algiers has captured several vessels, among which was one under the Tuscan flag, which bfAiongs to the Government of Tunis. The Pacha of Tripoli has raised claims against Tuscany, and the French Consul has settled the affair by paying 6,000 piastres. The Swiss military code for the regiments in the service of France has been modified. Corporeal punishments are abolished ; the penalties which are to be applied instead of them will commence from the Ist June next. (From the Messager des Chambres, dated May 1.) FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, APRIL:I2.--The prepara tions for the campaign are truly formidable on the side of the Turks, as far as concerns the number of troops, and orders are given to lay waste every thing, if a retreat should be necessary. It is, indeed, the practice of the Turkish troops, when they are obliged to abandon a country, to leave it desolate. On the present occasion this barbarous custom is erected into a system; and a new staff, under the direction of an old German Officer, is ordered to or ganise a plan for a general conflagration, before the enemy can penetrate to such places as it may be ne cessary to evacuate. It cannot be denied that the conqueror would be stopped by such a proceeding, but what a fatal prospect is this for the unfortunate inhabitants of Bulgaria and Romelia. Commerce is dead nothing is sold but ammuni tion and military stares, for which the Government pays good prices at ready money. It is pretended that the garrison of Widdin has lately made an incursion into Little Wallachia, where it said to have destroyed a great number of Rus sian military magazines, which is not at all probable, because thereiis a very strong corps at Hirchova and in the environs. The Danube, besides, has over flowed its banks in such a manner, that it would be extremely hazardous to attempt the passage. It is said that a Russian magazine near Gallatz has been destroyed by the overflowing of the river. FRENCH FuNns—Rentes Five per Cents. 107 f. 107 f. ; Three per Cents. 77f. 90e. The.

DUTCH, GERMAN, AND BRUSSELS PAPERS. ANtoNA, APRIL 12.—1 t is said that Admiral 11eyden intends to blockade the harbour of Alex andria, and hinder the Pacha of Egypt from supply ing the Porte with provisions. Some persons ask wnether the Russian Admiral is authorised to d 9 this ; and affirm that the ports of Alexandria and Smyrna wore declared neutral by the three me diating Powers, on the evacuation of the Morea by the Egyptian troops. The blockade of Alexandria would be very inju rious to Constantinople, and greatly embarrass the Pacha of Egypt; because, since the occupation of the Principalities, and the rigorous prOhibition of im portation from the ports of the Black Sea, Constan tinople has derived almost all its supplies of corn from Egypt; and the trade of Alexandria, which has already declined in a very alarming degree, would be reduced to nothing by this measure. In ' the English squadron in the Mediterranean, it is affirmed, that the officers believed they shall soon be called to more active exertions, and that many half-pay officers have been ordered to join it. Eng lish emissaries have lately travelled through the continent of Greece in all directions, in order to ob tain an accurate knowledge of its real situation. It appears that it was not Sir Frederick Adam, but one of his confidential agents, who had an interview with the Grand Vizier Redschid Pacha. At Corfu people expect much good to result from this inter view, and praise Redschid Pacha as an experienced and well-intentioned statesman, who is not insen sible to the good intentions of England, and will do every thing that the Porte may renew its former friendly relations with its most faithful ally. The passage of couriers through this town is not so frequent as it was a few months ago, When the Ambassadors of the three Powers were still at Corfu. BERLIN, APRIL IB.—The Empress of Russia is expected to be here at the marriage of Prince William ; but it does not appear that the Emperor will come, as was expected, or that he will go to the army. The report of the intended journey of our King to 'Warsaw, seems to be unfounded. Many of our politicians fear that the affairs of Europe will become still more complicated. While England, by granting the emancipation of the Catholics, re lieves itself from a long-continued disease, and ac quires additional strength to interfere in the concerns of Europe, France, by the new formation of people's minds, in consequence of the withdrawing of the proposed Commercial and Departmental Laws, hardly remains capable of increasing any efficacious influence abroad. This change in the situation of the two great European Powers may be of the most powerful influence on the further turn of political affairs. It is firmly believed Russia cannot give way; many think a general war in Europe by.no means improbable. Prussia would hardly have rea , son to regreat such an event—prepared against any attack, it can only gain by a mediation, as, whatever• side it took, it would turn the scale. We are here convinced that, in case of need, it will know how to take advantage of the moment, and assert its rank among the Po :viers of Europe. VIENNA, APRIL 21.—Metalliques, 98; Bank Shares, I,loB.—Allgenteine Zeitung, April 26. BRUSSELS, MAY I.—After several days' debate, from the 24th to the 28th April, the Second. Cham ber of the States General decided in favour of the new project of law relative to the press, by a majo rity of 84 to 4 votes. The Brussels papers are almost filled with de bates, and with further particulars of the capture of the famous Kiaga Modigo, by the Dutch troops in Java, the consequences of which have already proved very favourable to the Government, and are ex pected to produce the suppression of the troubles in that island. A hope is expressed that M. Coche Momens, and other individaals condemned by virtue of the Legislature relative to the press, which is now abolished, will receive their pardon from his Majesty. M. Coche Momens was to have been transferred to another prison, but it is said that his Majesty has ordered that this sentence shall not be carried into effect, and that the Attorney-General in person announced this good news to M. C. Mo mens, and encouraged the victims of the old Legis lation to entertain the most agreeable hopes. The Belgi says he stated that M. Pellet and the others would be restored to liberty in three days.— Brussels Papers of 2d May. BERLIN, APRIL 26.—The Journals continue to give the most deplorable accounts of the effects of the late inundations in West and East Prussia.— Between Thorn and Maricnwerder, the dikes have given way in thirty places, and likewise in several places between.Marienwerder and Elbing and Danzig. All the low grounds called Niederuliger, on the Vistula and the Nogath,'the• most fertile parts, are under water, and only the roofs of the houses visible; A great many persons, but the number cannot be ascertained, have perished. Hundreds of houses and other buildings have been swept away, and half of the remainder in danger of falling. Besides the destruction of provisions and stores of all kinds, it is feared that the water, which falls very, slowly, has wholly subsided. The greater part of this fruitful district will be found covered with sand, and rendered for ever barren. The accounts from the - Banks of the Moruel and Pugie are of the same afflicting de serip:ion:—Prussian State Gazette, April 27. THE HAGUE, APRIL 28.—According to accounts that have been received from Rome, by express, his Holiness Pope Pius VIII. has appointed Signor Cappacini Internuncio at the Court of the Nether lands, and has given him full power to carry the Concordat into effect. This appointment is considered as a new proof o the good understanding between the two Govern. merits. Letters from Odessa, of April 5, mention that since the Ist of the month, five ships had arrived from Varna—one from Sizeboli, two from Theodo cia, and two from Kovarno; all in ballast, except two laden with ammunition and provision for Varna, which had been forced to put into Odessa by con trary winds. EXCHANGE ON LONDON. AMSTERDAM, APRIL 28.—One Month, 12 ; two Monthi 11 25 5-10.—Dutch Papers, April 29. AMERICAN PAPERS. The people of Savannah were, by the last advices, very anxious to learn the fate of Stephenson. The pilot boat Savannah had been searched, but nothing was discovered in her. The whole time of her ab sence had been but eleven days ; but if any papers had been brought back by her, the editors were un able to obtain them. Rumour, meantime, had told, with tolerable accuracy, the adventures of Stephen. son while here, with the slight additional embellish ment that he had cut his throat in jail. Captain White, who left the pilot-boat on her anchoring, went up to Savannah, and entered into recognizances for his appearance at the Superior Court to be held in May. W. W. Oats had been displaced as a con stable and another person appointed in his stead. The Revenue cutter Marion, Captain Jackson, from a cruise on the coast of Cuba, and last from Havanna, arrived at Savannah on the 30th tilt. The Marion had been cruizing in quest of a piratical schooner, having on board forty men and two six pounders, which had taken four American vessels, and murdered the crews. The boat of the Hornet and Erie, arid three British cruizers, were actively engaged in pursuit of the schooner. A French brig of war had sent into Harannah the account of the American brig called the Charlotte, having been captured by the pirates, the crew nailed to the deck, and the vessel abandoned,with the cargo undisturbed. A British brig of war had captured a piratical schooner, with two guns on board and 100 men. The coast was lined with vessels of war, and no doubt was entertained that the pirates would be taken.—Xew York Evening Post. *UPPER CANADA.—In a debate in the Parliament on the subject of paying a chaplain, there were some singular things said. Mr. Fothergill said "he was bred a Quaker, arid could not wish for a Church Establishment ; but, if they were to have one, he would prefer the Church of England, and have their chaplain from that Church—he would not have meu to pray in this House whose doctrine would be op posed to their own politics." Mr. M'Kenzie was very hitter against the present Chaplain, and de clared that he had never attended his prayers because " he interfered in politics in a way he did not hire"— not being on his side, of course. Mr. Perry remarked, that " the Member for Durham said that they might get Clergymen to read prayers that would differ from them in politics ; but he would like to know if the House agreed with the politics of the present Chaplain ? He believed not. Mr. Fothergill " knew the Dissenting Clergy to inter fere in politics, and in a manner, too, that astonished him." Mr. Perry believed "no minister could be found whose politics were a parallel with the Arch deacon's." Mr. M‘Kenzie " did not care whether they were paid or not for their prayers ; but he thought they could hear a blessing from a clergyman of the Church of Rome, the Scotch Church, or Me thodist, as well as from the chaplain who officiates." Mr. James Wilson would not pay them for their prayers—if they would not pray without money, he would not give the ashes of a rye-straw for their devotion. In his speech on proroguing the Parlia ment, the Lieutenant-Governor complains of the " serious embarrassment experienced from the busi ness of the province being suffered to accumulate towards the conclusion of the Session." This is at evil incident .to all Legislative Bodies on this side a the Atlantic. TIGER HUNT. (From the Bengal Hurkaru and Chronicle.) On rising this Morning I was greatly surprised to hear that a very large tiger had come into the town a little before daylight, and had killed a woman and wounded two or three people in a dreadful manner within a very short distance of the Residency. On proceeding to the spot I found the woman quite dead, having been most dreadfully torn to pieces, while one poor man had his arm broken, to all ap pearance, in several places, and another much cut about the head. The two latter were directly ordered off to the hospital, while search was made by two gentlemen arid myself to trace the animal, which, after a little time, was found in the hedge of the Residency gar den; on being roused, coming on him quite unex pectedly, he flew out and seized a man by the arm, who, with many others, together with our collector, then being on foot, most miraculously escaped. The elephants were immediately mounted by him and myself, and in a few minutes the tiger turned out of the hedge into which he had retreated, and a most fortunate shot of mine, that took effect through the spine, threw him completely over. On entering the garden we found him quite dead, at about 50 or 60 paces distant from the place fired at. On mea suring him, his dimensions were found as follow : Length from the nose to the tip of the tail 9ft. 4in. Height over the shoulder aft. 10in. Breadth of fore font Oft. 6in. That this should happen all in the course of two hours, in the middle of the Zillah station, is a cir cumstance most extraordinary, and most fortunate to many, that were standing on the road looking on in hundreds, that the first shot took such good effect, for it is impossible to say what mischief he might have done had he been merely wounded. WlRKswoßTH.—There has been in this parish the unprecedented number of fifty-two funerals, from the Ist of March last to the 19th April inst., a third part of which have been children; and the greatest part, if not all, have been from the town, and two or three of the surrounding hamlets. If such should be the case, or any thing like it, for the time to come, a new or additional burial ground, will, it is apprehended, soon he wanted, as the present church-yard is nearly full.—Mac clesfield Courier. Mr. M* 4l K, of one of the theatres in Surrey, received, a few days ago, a present, which, from the na ture of its conveyance, caused some considerable alarm in the family. A parcel, wrapped in matting, was delivered from one of the Cambridge roaches. In the absence of the gentleman himself, it was received by his wife, who, on re moving the matting, beheld, to her no small astonishment, a plain, but neat, child's coffin. As soon as she had in some degree recovered herself, her conjectures as to the meaning of tkis - seeming strange present were as numerous as the minutes in the interval of her husband's absence, and the only plausible• one she could settle on was, that the coffin contained the remains of some pledge of her husband's love. Accordingly, the strange burden was concealed for the present, and, upon the arrival of Mr. Di•*x, a thou sand questions were put to him touching his " love from home." Words at length began to run high between both the parties, in the midst of which the coffin was produced, opened, and found to contain a handsome present of a fine sucking pig, enveloped in a shroud and cap, the face only exposed, accompanied with a pair of ducks. The little jealou-ies of the moment immediately vanished, and the tenants were won ejected from their dreary abode. THE ARMY. The 2d Regiment of Dragoons are ordered to march from Dublin for Cork. A Detachment belonging to the 7th Foot is ordered to embark for Hull. The following Detachments have marched from Lnmlon for Bristol, on route to the undermentioned stations : The 17th Lan , ers for Dundalk ; the 22d Foot for Tralee ; the 70th Infantry for Buttevant ; and the 77th Foot for Londonderry. (From the Limerick Chronicle, April 29.) On Wednesday two troops of the 3d Light Dragoons will remove from Gort to embark at Dublin, on route to Exeter. All the troops in Cork Garrison are about to move, ex cept the 97th Foot. The Ist Royal Dragoons depart this week for Manchester, and the depots of the llth and 34th Foot have received orders to be ready to march at a minute's notice. The 64th Regiment celebrated the King's birth-day with a feu-de-joie, and three cheers, and in the evening Galway was splendidly illuminated. The 32d Regiment at Kilkenny also honoured the day with three rounds. Three troops of the Enniskillen Dragoons have left Sheffield for Ireland, by Liverpool, and will be replaced by the 9th Lancers. At the Duke of DEVONSHIRE'S fete, on Fri day evening, upwards of 700 of the Nobility and haut ton were present. UNCOMMON TAKE OF Fisll.—A few weeks ago, nine boats belonging to Mr. JAMES CHRISTIE, Burg head, caught with the small lines, the astonishing number of three thousand and sixty cod fish, off a little distance from Nairn.—Elgin Courier. On Thursday week a pike, 261 b. weight, was caught with the minnow in Derwent Lake, Keswick, by Messrs. JOHN PEARSON and Joill; WALKER. The line by which it was taken consisted of only a single gut, but the fish cost its captors nearly two hours' labour, after being hooked, before they could bring it to West morland Advertiser. The salmon . .ishings in the Tay begin to be more productive. The strong east winds some days ago brought the salmon in great abundance to the frith, and nearly one hundred fine fish were taken in one day at several stations rented by one tacksman in this neighbour hood. Salmon are selling at the yards at 2s. per lb. ; Earn do. ls. 6d.; Salmon trout at 9d.—Perth Courier. EARLY HERRING FISHING.--FROM A • CORRESPONDENT.—We understand that extraordinary preparations are making this season, for the prosecution of the herring fishing on the west coast of Caithness. The take of herring in that quarter last season was very great, and exhausted the material of the curers, several of whom are to direct their energies to that coast the ensuing season, aid a great many boats are already engaged. From the favourable prospects which present themselves, there is every probability that fishermen who may proceed to that quarter this year will have no reason to repent of their choice, as the superior quality of the fish ensures higher prices than are usually given in other places ; and the material laid in by the corers, ensures a ready sale for whatever quantity of fish may be caught.—bitterness Courier. It is estimated that in the district between the towns of Blackburn, Clitheroe, Skipton, and Todmorden, there are not fewer than fifty thousand persons who have not more than Is. 641. per week wherewith to obtain the necessaries of life.—Stockport Advertiser. CONGLETON.—We lament to say that this town continues to be in a very distressed state. The pro- prietors of no less than twenty-eight mills hare suspended their operations, and last week six tl7ousand two hundred and seventy distressed persons received relief from the soup .hop !—Lceds Mercury. STATE OF TRADE.—A correspondent who ;ravels through the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, in his communication of yesterday says, "I am under the painful necessity of informing you, that I do not find the slightest improvement in trade of any description, except at Bradford. Several foreign merchants attended the mar ket at that place on Thursday, and a great quantity of goods were sold. The weavers in that district are now all fully employed ; but in consequence of a less quantity of worsted yarn being exported now than formerly, a number of wool-sorters and combers are still out of work."—Leeds Mercury. STATE OF TRADE.-Whatever may be the risings or fallings of demand, trade, judged by , the condi tion of the working people, seems to be becoming worse and worse. There is no present prospect of agreement between the turn outs and their employers, either here or at Stockport, and the process of reduction of wages is still operating against those who continue in employment. Both masters and men are in a most trying situation, but, as we have remarked on former occasions, while the mas ters lose capital, the men lose the means of subsistence.— There is, in our sixth pre, a letter on the disputes which prevail, and a recommendation to submit them Oa refer ence. The letter is entitled to attention, from the bene volent spirit it breathes, and would command it, were we at liberty to say by whom it is written. It will be seen with deep regret, by notices in other parts of our paper, that both at Rochdale and Macclesfield the work-people have departed from that exemplary peaceableness of dc meanour which had hitherto distinguished them.—Man. cheater Times. STATE OF TRADE.—We are sorry to be under the necessity of stating that the country, or home trade, has been singularly " flat" in this town, during the present week. This is the season when business ought to be brisk, and yet we are compelled to own that trade has been more stagnant, and men's spirits more depressed within the last eight days, than we have observed them to be at any previous period of this year. The general com plaint is still "the scarcity of money ;" and though the country buyers seem willing to purchase, and offer bills in payment which would in ordinary times pass current, such is the prevalent want of confidence and misgivings as to the future, that respectable houses decline to sell, rather than risk their property for any thing but cash, or paper of the first credit. This diffidence, however, dots not exist among the higher mercantile classes, as regards each other, or towards the traders of Manchester—but the drapers who visit this place from different parts of the kingdom, not having the same apparent flush of money as heretofore, are suspected, and while both parties are yearning to transact business, the holders of goods are afraid to hazard them. In a word, the first and last evil of the moment is, " want of confidence," more than want of demand—underselling as well as "over production."— In Foreign Trade there is a partial, or limited briskness, and the printers have done more for the last ten days or a fortnight, than previously, particularly in the variety of new styles, for the summer fashions.—Manchester and Salford Advertiser. FREE TRADE TO CHINA, &c.—This sub ject is likely, very speedily, to assume an important as pect throughout the country; and the inhabitants of Liverpool, who met in January last, and appointed the very respectable Committee which is now vigilantly car rying its resolutions into effect, will, we trust, have reason to rejoice in the measures they adopted. Already the Committee is in cordial co-operation with the various mercantile bodies in the great towns of the Empire; and already is a deputation of seven of its members appointed to proceed directly to London, where they will be met by deputations from Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol (and pro bably front Birmingham and Leeds), to confer with each other, and to request an audience of his Alajesty's Mi nisters on the whole question. Inquiry is the first good to be obtained ; and if Parliament fairly enter into that, the result will he at once inevitable and triumphant.— Liverpool Mercury. REPORTED RIOTS AT MACCLESFIELD._ STATE OF THE SILK TRADE IN THAT AND THE SUR ROUNDING DISTRICTS.—In the e trly part of th e presen t week, alarming reports reached this town respecting the riotous state of the silk weavers in Macclesfield. Accord ing to one account, the factory of Messrs. BROCKLE nuRsT had been entirely demolished, and the foot soldiers had been compelled, by the fury of the mob, to retire from the town. This rumour obtained the more credit, from the circumstance of a troop of the lat Dragoon Guards having been suddenly despatched to Macclesfield, from the Hulme barracks on Tuesday morning, and others being kept in constant readiness to follow to the same place, if their services were required. We are happy to state, from personal investigation upon the spot, into the correctness of this representation, that although the alarm was not totally unfounded, the whole of the proceedings in which it originated have been most extravagantly coloured ; and that as regards the charge, of the wo r k men b e l ong i ng to the silk manufactories baying participated in an outrage which did occur, (trivial as it was) thire is. not a word of truth in the statement. So strong, indeed, and universal a disposition to peaceable conduct prevails, that at a meet ing held on Thursday week, to petition Parliament, one of the weavers who had used inflammatory language, was hissed down by his comrades,.-111anckester Advertiser: \ , PRICES Or STOCKS THIS DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK. flank fitock 3 per Cent.

At a late hour this afternoon we received the French Morning Papers of Saturday. The fol lowing are extracts from the Constitutionnel :-- FRONTIERS OF POLAND, APRIL 10.—News from War saw announces, that several corps of troops coming from the interior of Russia, are marching to Abbelow. The head-quarters of Count Ostin Sacken, have received orders from St. Petersburgb to halt, by which it is concluded, that there is a sufficient force between the Dnieper and the Danube, and that new reinforcements are not wasted for the next campaign. It is supposed the above troops have received anotller destination, and are going to rein force the army of General Paskewitsch. BERLIN, APRIL. 23.—1 t is announced that the Emperor and Empress of Russia will lea re St. Peteraburgh about the Bth of May, and arrive at Warsaw about the 15th of the same month. His stay will not be long, but he will proceed to the army of the Danube, and the Empress will not go to Berlin. It appears that the overflow of the Danube impedes greatly the passage of the Russians to the right side. A great deal is said here about the mission of Lieutenant-General Suchleten, who it is said is gone to the Powers of the North to propose to them cer tain measures, should a rupture take place with England, as well as to secure the commerce in the Baltic. 'The de parture of Royer for Vienna, from whence he is to pro ceed to Constantinople as Prussian Ambassador, has caused some sensation. NarLxs, APRIL 17.—1 t ii: now certain that the French and English Ministers will depart in a few days for Con stantinople. An extraordinary courier has arrived from England, bringing instructions to Mr. Stratford Ca nn i ng , with the basis of conciliation adopted by the three Allied Powers. A private letter from Germany, received last night, states that the Turks have intercepted near Silistria a Russian convoy. The French Papers contain some matters of Parliamentary interest to the economical part of the people of France. A Commission of Depu ties has been appointed to scrutinize a branch of the public expenditure during the administration of M. DE PEYRONNET, who, it appears, had appropriated certain monies to the use of his of fice without first having obtained the sanction of the Chamber. The news in these Papers from the East corroborates what we have before re•. ceived, as to the great extent to which the pre parations are carried for recommencing the war. It is now said that on the side of the Turks the preparations are most formidable, so far as the number of troops is concerned. Orders are said to be given to lay waste every thing, if a re treat should be necessary, but this seems almost unnecessary, as it is the constant practice of the Turks to leave every place they are compelled to abandon a scene of utter desolation. On the present occasion this barbarous custom is erected into a system, and a new staff, under the direc- tion of an old German officer, is ordered to or ganize a plan for a general conflagration, before the enemy can penetrate to such places as it may be necessary to evacuate. A message has this morning been sent from the Bank to the Stock Exchange, that there will be a funding of three millions Exchequer Bills in the Four per Cents. of 1826, at 101-10 for every Exchequer 1001. Bill redeemable in 1833. This announcement produced a trifling sensa tion, but had no material effect upon Consols. . _ If we may cred i t an article from Ancona in the German Papers, the Russian Admiral HEYDEN proposes to blockade the harbour of Alexandria, in order to hinder the Pacha of EGYPT from supplying the PORTE with provi sions. The writer of the article proceeds to say, that " the blockade of Alexandria would be very injurious to Constantinople, and greatly embar rass the Pacha of EGYPT, because, since the oc cupation of the Principalities, and the rigorous prohibition of importation from the pm is of the Black Sea, Constantinople has derived almost all its supplies of corn from Egypt ; and the trade of Alexandria, which has already declined in a very alarming degree, would be reduced to nothing by this measure." And no doubt it would ; but then the question arises —will the English squadron per mit a blockade which would have the effect of ruin ing our commerce with Egypt ? We think not. Russia, as an independent belligerent, may assert her right to make war in her own way, but then it rests with other Powers to say whether they will remain passive spectators of such interference to the sacrifice of all their own interests. Eng land will not—and we are sure France will not. It is pretty clear at present that the Russian Ambassador in this country does not find matters run so smoothly as they did a. '~ 's last year, _or now the Duke of WELLINGTON has no fears for Ireland to be thrown into the scale against him, by the Russian Ambassador. Indeed, the settlement of the Catholic Question will do more for England abroad than any victory which her fleets or armies could gain. The following are extracts from German and Frankfort Papers of the 27th of April, which have been received this morning. It will be seen that the general bearing of the news is against the Turks, who are represented as very discontented at the continual demands of the SULTAN for prosecuting the war : FRONTIERS OF SE AVIA, APRIL 10.—A letter from Sophia says—" The demands of the Sultan upon the na tion become more and more oppressive, and the discontent of all classes of people increase in proportion. Loud complaints are made of the poll-tax, and the violent levies of recruits, and . lamentations on the state of things which must exhaust all the resources of the Porte, without hold• ing out the prospect of any advantage. The Sultan is playing a hazardous game; the minds of the people in the capital are more inflamed than in other places, and the consequences of a victory obtained by the enemy are in calculable. The Sultan is not - deficient in ability to under stand the state of things ; but he is naturally an enemy to all concessions, and not inclined to give way unless his pride is not wounded, and an appeal is made to his mag nanimity. In general the Turks have no notion of nego ciating in the sense of European diplomacy, and the grand mistake that has been made in all the negoeia tions with them hitherto is, that they were carried on in the strictest sense of the wot d, in a mercantile spirit, higgling with them for concessions, without offering any thing in return—a mode of proceeding that must naturally offend a proud people, who entertain an exag gerated idea of their own importance, and which thus cannot lead to peace." VIENNA, APRIL 22.—Metalliptes, 98 1-16 ; Bank Share., 1,108. LEIPsIC, APRIL 14.—We have reason to hope that the Eastern fair will be visited this year by many merchants, especially from GaHick and the Buckowins, whose ab sence we have severely felt for some years past. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE o' CLocir. The English Funds this morning have been sub ject to more fluctuation than usual, and the rapidity with which the variations in the price took place spews the feverish state of the market, and bow very opposite the opinions of speculators are as to the future state of the British Funds ; this may in a great measure be attributed to the near approach of the period when, if any important alteration has taken place in the system of our finances, it will be known. A number of reports have also been cir culated, one of which is rather improbable at the present moment, a reduction 114 the Army of 10,000 men ; one thing is certain, the accounts from the manufacturing districts are of a most distressing nature, and give rise to the most serious reflections for the future. Before the rattle went Consols were done at 86k, hut opened, at the regular hours of business, at 861 -1, went up rapidly to 871, receded to 87, moved to 87k I, and eventually to 1 again; they are now 87-1-, sellers, for money and account. India Bonds have fallen from 46 8 to 43 5 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 57 8 pm. The fluctuation in the English market has so completely occupied the attention of the dealers that little business has been doing in the Foreign Funds to-day ; Brazilian Bonds are 52k 4 ; Buenos Ayres, 251 6}; Mexican, Six per Cent., 20k 21; Portu guese, 451 61; Russian, 951 1; and Danish, 64k; the reported assassination of Bolivar, in the Ameri can Papers, is not believed, and the price of Colotn hien Bonds are 15 k. In Shares the discount on Bolanos has declined to 15 5; all the other speculations arc without variation. Three per cent.

The SIXTY-FIRST EXHIBITION of the ROYAL ACADEMY opened this Morning. The paintings are numerous, and possess unusual variety; but though many of them are excellent, some first-rate, yet there is no one particular picture that stands out by itself for transcendent Sir Thomas Laurence has enriched the collection with six or eight fine portraits. Danby has adorned it with the abundant stores of his imagination; Wil kie, with his knowledge of character; but none of the three have achieved any thing superior to their former attempt. They have just contrived to keep up their reputation, but not to increase it. 4. SUBJECT FROM THE REVELATIONS, Danby. This is a very impressive picture, consisting of but one figure, the angel flying through the air with his face muffled; and crying " Woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth." The colouring is very characteristic, but there is too much smoothness and polish about it. 9. LANDSCAPE, J. Constable, a very spirited sc.me, full of truth and earnestness: It is, however, too much imbued with Mr. C.'s peculiar notions of colouring. This gentleman is fond of dotting and speckling his hind 'capes, which invariably look as if they had got the measles. The effect, however, notwithstanding this slight touch of affectation, is far from unpleasing. 102. PORTRAIT OF THE DUCHESS OF RICHMOND, Sir T. Lawrence.—This is a very rich portrait : of the likeness we cannot speak, but the features are gracefully developed, the figure elegantly preserved, and the satin drapery sparkling, and strongly characteristic of Sir Thomas. The little touch of sylvan scenery makes a very pleasing addition to the painting. 64. PORTRAIT OF SIR J. lircu.aansotc.—T. Phil lips, replete with character, and a very animated likeness. 79. THE FIRST INTERTIEW OF HENRY IV. WITH THE FAIR GABRIELLE, R. Westall.----No one could pos sibly mistake the artist in his portrait of Gabrielle; a face in which lie has repeated himself at least a hundred times. 91. PORTRAIT OF THE RIGHT HON. THE LATE EARL or KELLIE, D. Wilkie.—An admirable painting, of as earnest and commanding character.. The muscles of the Earl's hand which is resting on the chair in which he sits, are as true to life as can be conceived, and have a truly surprising effect. 103. SCENE IN A KENTISH Hop-GARDEN, W. Col. tins..—The far-stretching Vista seen through the pictu resque alley of hop pl3nts in this hushed beautiful little landscape, does infinite credit to the artist's taste and discrimination. 110. CARDINALS, PRIESTS, AND ROMAN CITIZENS, WASHING THE PILGRIMS' FEET, Wilkie.—With much of Wilkie's mannerism, this painting will not,we fear, be ranked among his int,st successful efforts. There is an air of tameness and cold correctness about it, far different from the fire, the e arnestness, and perfect truth of nature by which he has been so long distinguished. 155. PORTRAIT OF LORD DURHAM, Sir 1. Laurence. A very striking and lively likeness. 165. A CANAL BANK, MOONLIGHT, F. H. Hen shaw. A dim, wi:d, and visionary scene, replete with romance and poetry.

This was an action for compensation in damages Tor an assault and false imprisonment ; to Ivhich the defendant pleaded, first, that he had at the time rea son to believe that the plaintiff had committed a • felony; and secondly, that he had been first assaulted. Mr. F. Pou.ocx. (with whom was Mr. BRODE RICK) stated to the Jury that the plaintiff ivas a gentleman who had occupied a first floor in the house of the defendant, No. 22, Dean -street, Soho. The plaintiff had been visited by his nephew, a scholar of Charter-house school, who borrowed a book and a pamphlet) the latter entitled " the Nation's Tears," an publish e d at Is. The book had been returned, but the pamphlet had been by some accident Elicited up i n M r.

Mr. Smith gave notice that he would quit on the following Monday, but in order to escape a system of insolence, he determined to leave on the Saturday. The defendant and his wife, however, Stated that they had discovered other losses (such as 4 oes, boots, &c.), and insisted on searching his trunks, unless he paid the week's rent, which was done on the following Monday. This, Mr. Smith declined, and was starting in a hackney-coach when Mrs. Treherne ordered the street-keeper to talce him on a charge of felony. This was done with some trouble, and Mr. Smith taken to the FBch -house, arid from thence to Marlborough-street olice-office, where h e was di sc h arge d .

The Malt Trade becomes duller, each succeeding week bringing more general distress in the manufacturing districts, as well as the great want of money through the withd rawa l of the local notes.

SM AL L- Pox.— The small-pox has lately been very rife at Fullwood, near this place: there have been few families in which the children have escaped, and several have hail the disease fatally. It is painful to have to attribute the visitations of this terrible pest in this, as in most uther c.:ses, to a culpable neglect of vaccination. The same disease, we lament to state, is at this time mak ing great ravages in Gilesgate, in Durham. In addition to several children, Mr. WILLIAM CORNER, aged 32, Mr. JOHN MEGossoN, aged 23, and Miss DOROTHY DIXON, aged 22, have within little more than a month Ellett victims to this loathsome disease. The circum stances attending the death of -the first named individual demand fiorn us particular observation. Mr. CORNER, who was a respectable farmer, awl who 'id been married scarcely a month, was passing along Gilesgate a few weeks ago, when he observed, standing at the door of a house there, a young man, who exhibited the most appalling features of the distemper. Mr. C. sickened at the sight, and hastened to the house of his father in-law, observing he was sure he had taken the infection, for he felt it in his nostrils. A few clays, alas, proved what he had stated to be too true, and both he and his friend, JOHN MEGGE • SON (who attended hint in his illness) now repose in the silent tomb, the victims of this unwarrantable exhibition. —Sheffield Mercury. LITERATURE. THE MANUAL OF SCIENCE AND LITERATURE, Nos. 1. to VI. This is a well-conecived and well-edited Miscellany combining hi.tory with science—theory with prac tice —notices of she fine arts with treati.: es chanical inventimo: biography with ant.c.kite—and original Literary Criticism with sound moral and statistic disquisitions. These are vast ranges in intel. lect for one and the same miscellany to undertake; and when we assert that they have been undertaken successfully, the merits of the Editor, and his (no doubt numerous) contributors, will.be proportionately enhanced. The work is a weekly production, and by coming out in sixpenny parts, on good lasting paper, and a capital readable type, will doubtless become a favourite with the middle and more es pecially with 'the lower classes, to whose literary wants it ably and chiefly administers. THE MONTHLY REVIEW. The information displayed in the present number of oae of the most respectable and sensibly con ducted periodicals of the day, is marked by great judgment and versatility. The critical opinions ad vanced in the different Reviews are marked by much sagacity; more especially in the article entitled " The Spirit of Philosophy," which is an elaborate analysis of Victor Cousin's " Nouveaux Fragmens PhilosOphiques,",and discusses its comprehensive sub jects with the ease, the fullness, and the conscious power of a master. It is very appropriately placed between a light sketchy criticism on a recent work, " The Flowers of Fancy," and an able notice of Count Segur's " History of Russia and Peter the Great." But indeed the arrangement of the whole number— to say nothing of the literary merit of the different articles—is entitled to very great attention. We regret that our limits will not permit us to do more than generally commend this instructive and entertaining periodical. EDWARDS'S BOTANICAL REGISTER ; or ORNA. MENTAL FLOWER GARDEN and SHRUBBERY. Continued by JOHN LINDLEY, Eq. Professor of Botany to the University of London. —No, HI. of the 2d Vol. Nev; Series. The present number introduces us to a beautiful figure of the splendid gold and silver Honeysuckle of China (Caprifolium longiflorum), so called from the brilliancy of its yellow and white flowers, show ing to peculiar advantage amongst its dark foliage. It is a hardy climbing shrub of easy culture. Through the libe►ality anti munificence of the Honourable Court of Directors of the East India Company, and the laborious and successful researches of Dr. \Val lich, the Botanical community, as well as every ad mirer of the beauties of nature, are likely to be sup plied with the knowledge of an almost uninterrupted succession of lovely and fragrant flowering plants and shrubs, through the medium of this justly esteemed work. This number contains no less than three or four, out of the eight subjects figured, derived from this source, all of considerable beauty and interest. Perhaps if preference be given it will be to the Azure-flowered Netseed, (Spermadictyon azureum.) A shrub growing to ten or twelve feet high, well furnished with branches, and the blossom perfuming the air by their delicious fragrance for several months duration. Little inferior are Mr. Sabine's " Rod lia," " Thyrse-flowered, Reevesia," and " Bristly stemmed Gooseberry." MEETING OF WEAVERS.--RIOTS ! ROCHDALE, APRIL 30.—0 n Tuesday morning, he 28th ult. a meeting of the flannel weavers, ac cording to adjournment, took place upon Cronky shaw, and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather upwards of 1000 persons assembled. The speakers opened the proceedings by stating that some disaffected districts had witheld their quota to the general stock, and that individual weavers bad themselves brought on many of the existing griev. ances by acting in opposition to the Union, and the welfare of the trade. It was resolved (as a means of remedying the evils complained of) that the weekly contributions of the weavers and spinners should be doubled, and that they should proceed forthwith in a body to those districts which had withheld their subscriptions from the general stock. The persons composing the meeting then visited several districts in the township of Butterworth, where they succeeded in the objects of their mis sion. On arriving at Milnrow, they were informed that some loom-holders near that place were act ing in opposition to the Union, and the infor- mation being confirmed, a majority of th e weavers immediately determined to collect the shuttles from all who were acting against the inte rests of the trade. This operation immediat e l y commenced, and th e w h o l e o f W e d nes d ay and to day, the weavers have been employed in collecting shuttles from those who were paying under the " Statement Prices." Opposition indeed appears only to increase the tumult, for Mr. Samuel Lomas, Mr. Wm. Robinson's, and many other shops were yesterday forcibly entered, and the shuttles removed. To-day the only loom-shop from which they anti cipated any opposition was that of Messrs. Chad wick and Sons, which it was thought by many they would not venture to attack. The weaver:, how ever, so early as eleven o'clock this morning, pro ceeded to Messrs. Chadwick's, the door of which they found firmly secured by bales of wool; but an entrance was effected by the windows, and the work of destruction ensued. I am sorry to add, that it is reported the damage done at this shop will amount to several hundred pounds. The town is now in a state of great alarm, and the soldiers are expected every hour. Scarcely anything is talked of but the proceedings of the weavers. When the attack was made on Messrs. Chadwick's, Mr. Wm. Chadwick threw a sticking knife among the crowd, which fell upon a spectator, and wounded him severely. ROCHDALE, MAY I.—About five o'clock yester day afternoon, the weavers returned from their ex pedition, and proceeded in a body to Cronkyshaw, in order to arrange for another meeting before they dispersed to their respective places of abode. A party of foot soldiers had, by this time, arrived ; and the constables seized one of the weavers who was straggling behind the main body, with something concealed under his apron. and conveyed him to the prison. About twenty-two horse soldiers soon after arrived, and they immediately proceeded to Cronky shaw, led by J. Entwistle, Esq., a Magistrate, and the officers who commanded them. On their ap pearance, the weavers dispersed, and the soldiers returned with three prisoners. The military then proceeded to the Coach and Horses Inn, Blackwater-street, and brought away three other prisoners, together with the weavers' Union box, which contained their central fund or money, and conveyed it, along with the men, to prison. Until three o'clock this morning, the constables and sol diers were engaged in collecting the shuttles which the weavers had taken, and in apprehending any one they can find who can be identified as an active per son in the shuttle-gathering. The town is in a state of great commotion : the weavers are walking the streets, not knowing what will be the termination of this unpleasant affair. Wives are lamenting for their husbands, and mothers for their children. — Twenty-three prisoners have just been brought to the Police-office, escorted by a party of dragoons; but there being only one Magistrate present, they rarniandori till this (Inv A J., FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

DUBLIN, APRIL 29.—With respect to the slander which was circulated against Lady AGNES ByNo, a ♦ery curious interview has taken place between one of those persons from whom it first originated, and Admiral Sir CHARLES PAGET. By some means or other the family of the Marquis of ANGLESEA learned that the slander had been first circulated by means of a letter written by Mr. G-- G—, of Cork, to a Mr. S— B---, a gen tleman possessed of a large fortune, and having estates in the county of Tipperary.—Admiral PAGET called, a few days since on Mr. S--- B---, and demanded from him the letter that had been written by Mr. G— C—. Mr. B. said that he did not think he could in honour give it up. " Very well, Sir," observed Admiral PAGET; 4 4 if you retain that letter, the members of my family may, if they choose, go to law with you ; but by there is not a public place where I shall meet you that I will not horsewhip you !" This threat had the desired effect, and thus the letter was procured, which will he one of the grounds of prosecution against Mr. Morning Paper. We are happy to learn that Mr. KEAN is rapidly recovering, and is so far improved in health as to be able to resume his professional duties on Monday next.— Dublin Register, April 30.

The Exhibition is to be opened to the Public this day, and we are gratified in stating that the collec tion this year is by far the most splendid that has ever yet been submitted to inspection. LAWRENCE has eight portraits, all as usual of the highest excellence. The subjects are—the " Duke of Clarencv,"'• Miss Macdonald," the " Duchess of Rich mond," " Lord Durham," " Southey, the Poet," the Marchioness of Salisbury," " Mr. Soane," and " Mrs. Locke." Mr. ETTY exhiirits a splendid picture of " Benaiah slaying two lion-like men of Moab." The same artist has a'so another picture equally excellent, though differ ent in style, of " Hero and Leander." Mr. HILTON presents one picture in every respect worthy of his established reputation—the subject is, " The meeting of Abraham's Servant and Rebecca." Mr. CALLcorr has sent several fine pictures, one of which in particular, "Morning," excited much admira tion on account of its Claude like effect. Near this picture is one by Mr. E. LANDSEER, " An illicit Whisky Still in the Highlands," which is perhaps the best this clever young man has yet produced. The Exhibition is graced by several pictures from the pencil of Mr. COLLINS, which are perfectly true to nature. Mr. TURNER has endeavoured to embody so►se extra ordinary imaginations in the gorgeous colours for which his pencil has for some time been remarkable. The most striking of his works is " Ulysses deriding Polyphemus." The admirers of Mr. Wtr.x.tE will be equally surprised and delighted to hear that he has this season come forward with renewed vigour. He exhibits no less than eight pictures.

WARR INGTON MAY-DAY REGATTA.- Yesterday being May-day, the annual Regatta, which was commenced last year, took place at Warrington. The weather was peculiarly auspicious, and as, on the former occasion, there was an immense assemblage on the hanks of the river, to witness the sports of the day.—Man cheater Advertiser. SALISBURY, MAY 2 .---DESTR UCTIVE FIRE AT WELL3.-On Tuesday morning, at twelve o'clock, a very alarming and serious fire broke out in tha western part of this city ; several houses have already fallen a sacrifice to the devouring element, and at this moment (three o'clock) the fire is still raging. A number of poor families are already rendered entirely destitute, and us the wind is blowing strong from the north-west, much further damage is expected.—Hants Advertiser. JONATHAN MARTIN.—This celebrated Per sonage, on hearing of the attempt made to fire Westmin ster Abbey, appeared to take it much to heart; he seemed to consider his merits neglected, as an old servant; and said that " GOD had called in another person to do his work."—Doncaster Gazette. The ardent anti-cathedralist, JONATHAN MARTIN, passed through Stamford on Monday night, on his way from York Castle to St. Luke's Hospital, London. In the course of his transit he said he was merely going to town to have an audience with the KING, and after wards to burn down St. Paul's.—Stanford News. FI RE ! T. —Lately, while a farmer was o►t his way home with a load of lime, he observed smoke ascend ing from his cart (caused by a previous shower), a pheno menon the philosophical husbandman could only account for by the presence of fire; and to quench the devouring element he immediately commenced throwing water among the lime; on which his companion observed, he would set his cart on fire; John replied, " Gin water pit it in, I kenna what would pit it out !"—Berwick Advertiser. TRUE ENGLISH FEELING.—A butcher in the vicinity of the Commercial-road, a few days ago killed an ox, and sent pact of the beef and a quantity of the suet to his son-in-law, a weaver in Bethnal-green, who hung it up so near to the window, that some one in the night broke a pane of glass and carried off the suet. Saturday morning the weaver, missing his suet, went to a public house in the neighbourhood, where he posted up the fol lowing notice, which still remains an evidence of the right John Bull generosity and spirit :—" Whereas last night a quantity of beef suet was taken away from the house of JAMES HENRY WOODYORD--thiS is to give notice, that if the person who took it away will appear, and prove that he was forced to do so by distress, the said .JAMES HENRY WOODFORfI will give him half a dozen pounds of flour to make the suet into dumplings ; but if he cannot prove that he was in distress when he stole it, the said JAMES WOODFORD will Arrhe 1.! CONCERT AT GUILDHALL. • 1 On Saturday morning a grand concert took place he :c a ilso, t errri G iseei ni t rt i e l a d s l Guildhall, composeds fsoi thebral benefit t t eo h tt e hrioaet•aroell eqiovu ee ols o fti f l t ti Bt d :a i ii s ere t o r sgn e sri s ca ; al e :to d . rp) rolestga‘is:..'e,ei. progress , at Spitalfields and Bethnal-green. The performance of th • performed, as we believe it now invariably is, with the addition of Mozart's accompaniments, which ten, of Vienna, with the view of bringing the work in instrumental music. The numerous orchestra at Guildhall rendered the beauty of Mozart's decora tions strikingly manifest. The performers, both vocal and instrumental, contributed their exertions gratuitously. The orchestra, which was led by Mr. F. Cramer, and conducted by Sir G. Smart, boasted the powerful talents of Messrs. Lindlev, Dragonetti, Nicholson, Willman, and other eminent instrumentalists ; while the vocal department pre sented the elite of our English singers, viz. Paton, Mrs. W. Knyvett, Messrs. Braham, E. Tay lor, Phillips, &e. The chores was as complete as could be desired. Braham, of course, opened the Oratorio, for as long as he lives, or at least as long as he sings, " Comfort ye," and " Every valley," must continue his exclusive domain. His closing cadence, however, was not exactly in good taste. Miss Paton's " Rejoice greatly" yeas very brilliant; and in " There were shepherds," I s i l c i a e c m y. anag m e r t the s l .iv .sot .K io v o ce nyi,et passages esb beautiful great t i lvoi(e de and chaste style of execution were perfectly appropriate to the songs allotted to her ; and the bass parts of the Oratorio were admirably sung by Messrs. E. Taylor and Phillips. To no inconsiderable portion of the audience the bonne bouche of the whole performance was a song from Mademoiselle Sontag, introduced between the first and second parts of the oratorio. This treat was the more gratifying, inasmuch as it was in some measure unexpected. The accomplished Byre!! arrived in London only last Tuesday, and on being informed of the intended concert and its benevolent object, she immediately tendered the aid of her , powerful talent. She sang Guglielmi's Gratia. - agimus in a style which afforded convincing proof that her excellence is not merely confined to florid execution. Her voice has lost none of its delicious silvery sweetness; and with regard to power (which after all, is a secondary consideration with those who prefer music to noise), we are inclined .to be lieve it has increased rather than diminished since we heard her during the last opera season, Her sing ing on Saturday certainly exhibited no trace of the feebleness of which hypercritics have sometimes thought proper to complain, and we are at a loss to conceive a better test of a s'nger's power of voice than an effective performance in such a place as Guildhall. She sang Gratin agimus with exqui site brilliancy and spirit ; and the extraordinary facility and accuracy with which she excuted the eatcna di tt illi must have astonished those who have not witnessed the facility with which she can per form feats of far greater difficulty. Willman's ob ligato accompaniment on the clarionet was delicious, and the performance excited a rapturous and uni versal encore. The bills enumerated a long list of royal and nob►e patrons and patronesses, and, judging from the multitude of persons who filled the hall, it may be presumed that a considerable sum has been raisel for the charitable purpose for which the profits of the concert are destined. DRUIDICAL REMAINS IN GLENSHEE, (From the Perth Courier.) There are few places in the Highlands of Perth shire Where a greater number of vestiges of antiquity are to be found than in Glenalmornr and Glenshee, two of the wildest passes into ►he Grampians and the very centre of Ossianic ground. We have fre quently had to notice the discovery of ancient tombs in that district, which were brought to light on re moving some of the cairns which are there so numerous. Two of these heaps were lately opened or, the farm of Carrylea, on the estate of Captain Robertson of Tullybelton,* in which some interest ing monuments were found, which are thus described to us by a correspondent :—The cairns were about 160 yards distant from each other. In the first there were three large upright stones, four feet high, and neatly jointed together; the space within them being laid with smooth stones. In the centre of the same cairn (but whether surrounding or aside from the three stones previously described our in formant does not say) there was a circle formed of upright stories, three feet eight inches high, the stones being distant from each other about five feet. Within the circle so formed, was a belt of slate flags about three feet wide, and the ground thus inclosed contained an immense quantity of burnt ashes of wood and turf. " Near the outside of this cairn," our correspondent says, " there was another place the same as described but of a smaller size;" but whether this refers to the circle or to the three up right stones does not appear. In the other cairn stood a large stone, seven feet in length, four in breadth, and three feet thick, on which was cut a representation of the sun, moon, and stars. In various places of the cairn there were found vast quantities of human bones and ashes; and in the centre a place of about 70 square feet inclosed by stones three feet ten inches in height joined closely together. The ground within this inclosure was full of burnt human bones apparently run together into masses by the action of fire. Near the outside of this cairn were found four graves or pits, sur rounded with smooth stones and covered with flags, also containing human bones and ashes; and about 300 yards from the first cairn there was removed a few years since a hillock 36 feet in circumference composed entirely of burnt bones and ashes. Such is the account sent us by a person who was at the trouble of going several times to the places and taking down his observations with every possible care. There can be little doubt that the ground where these monuments stand had been consecrated to Druidical Rites, and that a more complete investigation of the relics would well repay the enquiry of the anti quary. if the description of the engraving on the stone be correct, that discovery may be considered one of the most interesting that has yet been made in Druidical antiquities from its connection with the well ascertained object of the superstitions of the Celts. There are indeed many circumstances which contribute to give no common interest to these dis coveries. The multitude of human bones—affecting the question respecting Druidical human sacrifices : the contiguity in some instances of the burnt heaps —illustrating the practice of passing between the fires, a custom which at Beltein is in some places of the country even yet practically kept up, and is pre served in the proverb of a person in straits being between Bel's two fires; the form and method of the pavement—which many have hitl:crto thought peculiar to Roman Monuments: the situation of the larger stones—whether indicative of being altars or bow-stones—these and many other circumstances will call for the examination of the Antiquary, and probably serve to illustrate some of the many knotty points connected with Druidical remains. * e. the Hill of Bel's Fire.

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. (FROM THE TIMES.) The friends of free trade, and of the silk trade too, will rejoice to set that another assault upon the system proposed by his Majesty's Ministers for the joint benefit of the public and of that particular ma= nufacture, met on Friday last a signal repulse from the House of Commons. Mr. Fyler, as before, wade play against the progress of the measure, by Moving that the House should go into a committee " this day six months." The usual quantity of as aertion and declamation about the distresses of the silk-weavers was hazarded in this instance by Messrs. Fyler, Robinson, Waithman, Attwood, and Sadler, indved, were permitted to have the pleasure of re - -wseding their own former speeches almost undis tatted ; for Sir Henry Parnell and Mr. Courtenay seemed to treat them like importunate applicants, v.ao had long ago received their answer. The ob vious troth is, that all trades are distressed, some of them more deeply than the silk-weavers; and that until the excessive production of goods in every branch of British manufacturing industry shall have been absorbed by the returning wants of the com munity, or until new channels to foreign markets shall have been opened, there can be no effectual relief. The monopoly interest was defeated on this occasion by a majority of 90 to 22. Let them give bread cheaper, and the manufacturer will have fair play,—a point on which we have the misfortune to differ from a correspondent signed " Agricola(" in this day's journal. The Chancellor of the Ex 'rinse announc e d o n Friday last his intentio% of hbandoni'n the Auction 1. " duties Bill the present Session." In expres sing our e_ ..ausiaction at this miscarriage of a severe an impolitic Bill, we must add a sincere hope that it never will be revived by Government, at least without important modifications. In a country where it is the well-understood interest of society that a man's property of all descriptions should be tendered as easy of management, and as convenient to him, as legislation could make it, we were sur prised to see a clause introduced ititb an Act of Parliament for imposing a hey additional tax, not merely on the transfer t land, but even on the at tempt to sell, or by the form of an auction to ascer tain its value, The clause compenig a payment of one per rent. on the highest bidding for property put tip to auction, although it should be bought in by the proprietor, was applicable, lts well to a thousand acres of land, as to a cargo of rum or sugar; and we are sure that the Country Gentlemen and Peers of the Legislature most first have taken leave of their senses had they suffered the Minister to carry such a clause into effect. An immediate tax of 1001., added to the innumerable other charges, upon the offer of an estate worth only 10,000/. to auction, would be most burdensome to every man whose per sonal or family arrangements required that he should know the market-value of his property; and we have to repeat our expectation that such an attempt will never agair.be sanctioned by his Majesty's Go vernment, (FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE.) The proposed settlement at the: Swan river has excited much interest, and, we are serry to say, much dissatisfaction, in that class of persons for svlttn it was originally represented as offering an eligible retreat—we mean the retired officers of the naval and military service. We do not speak on this subject from report, but from personal commu nication with very many individuals of both branches of the service; and the sentiments of these gentle men were unanimous in their reprobation of the principle on which a grant was made to the near relation of a Minister, and these sentiments were unchanged by the explanation given in the House of Commons by the Secretary for the Colonies. In that explanation it is asserted that the grant which has been, and continues to be, so severely scrutinized, was neither exorbitant in extent, nor peculiarly favoured in its localities ; and it was strongly insisted upon that it had been designedly rempved to a distance from the embouchure of the Swan river, to prevent the possibility of its inter ference with the future commercial prosperity of the projected settlement; and, finally, that it was granted upon conditions impartially insisted upon in all oCner cases. The class of men whom we have aiready described as dissatisfied with the pro posed arrangements, assert that the grant in question ii made to an individual nearly con nected with a member of the Government; that in ex tent it far exceeds any other allotment ; that the person to whom it is made avowedly intends to sub let his monopoly; that the motive assigned for the location being placed inland, with a view to the fu ture commercial prosperity of the settlement, is founded on at) obvious fallacy, as the nautical survey shows that there is an obstruction at the mouth' of the Swan river, which precludes the possibility of its ever rising to importance as a naval emporium ; that it is pre-eminently favoured by the fertility of the soil, and by its position between the two branches, which, a little lower down, unite to (bun the Swan river ; and lastly, that the terms upon which it has been given to Mr. Peel are the very same which were refused to certain other individuals less fortunately connected. We do not mean to say that all the points taken up by the assailants of this much-reprobated grant are strictly and unexception ably well founded, but we do mean to assert, that this is the view of the subject entertained by many gallant and intelligent men, who, in the first in stance, hailed the proposed settlement with high ex pectations; but who, on a more accurate inquiry, have abandoned every idea of availing themselves of what are called the advantages of the contemplated measure. One thing is perfectly certain ; namely, that the Parliamentary explanation is totally unsatis factory. (FROM THE MORNING HERALD.) If the Duke of Wellington's forthcoming great measure of Finance were (as we do not suspect it to be) a call for a general contribution from all property towards The reduction of the National Debt, of course the tithes, both in clerical and lay hands, as well as the holders of the debt Itself, would he called upon to pay a fair proportion, and none could com plain of the inequality or injustice of such a step, however wide opinions might be upon a project which would come home so feelingly to the pockets of all. For ourselves, we think that some such measure would be the wisest mode of meeting our financial difficulties. If a man's estate were mortgaged to nearly the amount of its rental, leaving him little or nothing to live upon, after the various claimants for interest are paid, the wisest thing that such a van could do would be to sell so much of his land or houses as would pay off the whole or part of the incembrance, and give himself, by such an operation, a surplus of rents sufficient to live upon. But the idea, which is still harped up.m in some quarters, that the Church Revenues alone are intended to be looked to for this purpose, is really too preposterous almost to be dealt with seriously. Such a spolia tion would amount to little short of a dissolution of the social contract, and those who could be found to assent to it might expect, and most justly too, that their own turn would come next; and would be called upon to yield unpitied to the same injustice which they had thus inflicted upon others. But we do not believe that either justice or policy would permit the Duke of Wellington to be a party to any such a measure as this.— Considering how the Clergy have annoyed his Grace by their firm opposition to his late Catholic Emancipation Bill, he tray, perhaps, have no objection to frighten and annoy them a little in his turn ; but beyond that we believe the report in question to be a mere " weak invention of the enemy," whose " wishes are farther to the thought." In fact, laying the injustice of such a project out of the question, its impolicy is quite sufficient to stamp it as the offspring of minds which do not calculate upon the truth or falsehood of what they say. A Prime Minister, in good truth, knows the value and importance of church patronage too well to slay the bird which lays such valuable eggs. No, no, the Church may feel herself, as she is en ' tilled w t o 4 0 , quite easy on that head ; or, if she tealiv has any fears, she has only to look on and see the body of lay tithe-owners who are sailing by her side, and with whom she must swim or sink tope , ther.—The Duke of Wellington, all , powtiftil ti.s he may think himself, dare not touch eo much as a hair of their head exclusively. But whether the Church will be able to maintain her present large revenues, Without making them more conducive than they now are to the general purposes of religion, is quite another question. Whether indolent pluralists shall revel in useless wealth while industrious Cerates art starving—whether Bishoprics shall swell to Princiu palities, while those who are 'entitled " to live by the altar" can barely subsist by " the crumbs which fall from the rich man's table"—are points well worthy the consideration of those who have learnt from experience to know that a timely reform of evident abuses is the surest means of preventing consequences which all who really value otir Church Establishment must be anxious to avert. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Mr. George Bailin, a coal-merehantt of Pankiicle, at tended before Mr. Aldermen, AisS . Lii-, on Saturday, upon a summons for d'eliVeribg to Messrs. Vizetelly and Brans ton, the pl'ititers, in Fleet-street, on the 16th of April, 24 tacks of coals, which did not amount to the quantity they were sold for, reckoning three bushels to every sack. Mr. Phillt,9, and a clerk of Mr. I farmer, attended on 1) ..:. 1 ..aif of the defendant, and the complaint was made by Mr. Tout quand, one of the principal land coal-meters for Surrey ) who explained that he was not interested in ob taining a conviction, inasmuch as the penalty would go to the cotinty.rJte of Surrey ; but such was the vigilance of the Surrey coal -meters, that the forfeitures amounted to 40,0001. a -year ! Mr. Phillips took several objections. First, that the whole of the coals should have been measured, to ascertain that the deficiency in some sacks was not compensated by a n overplus in others, whereas, in the present case, three sacks had been shot before any- re-measurement was required. It was contended, however, and decided that a pur chaser of coals, by wharf measure, may have any part of the whole quantity re-measured, and for every sack not mntaining three bushels, the vender is liable to be fined 40s. Mr. Phillips next urged that the summons described the deficiency as in the whole quantity which the 24 sacks contained, and not as in each of the 24 sacks separately, which was the charge now made. . _ The City Solicitor overruled this objection. The ap pearance of the party cured any defect in the form of the summons. Mr. Phillips's next objection was, that more than 201. in penalties could not be recovered, except by action in the Courts at Westminster; and the full penalties now sought amounted to 461. The City Solicitor got over this by saying the magistrate might and would mitigate the penalties so as to bring the ca , e within his jurisdiction. The argumentation, am., upon these points (which would fill three columns) being concluded, the merits of the case were entered upon, and Ivers Elverson, a labour ing meter, deposed that lie attended to re-measure the coal., and measured 29 sacks, 2'e of which contained less than the proper quantity. He had a particular ac count of their contents; the first had two bushels and three pecks only in it. Mr. Phillips, the complainant, and the magistrate, however, all agreed that the meter should refrain from stating the deficiency in each sack, or upon the whole of the sacks together, and after hearing some other witnesses, Mr. Alderman ANSLEY decided that the charge had broken down, bee tuse it was not proved whether the coals were sold as pool measure or wharf measure. If it were the former, the buyer was not entitled to a re-measure ment, because it was not demanded before more than one sack had been shot. To show that the buyer was entitled to have any particular sacks or number of sacks re measu-ed, the coals being sold as wharf measure, the vender's ticket had been put in (the form of the pool measure and wharf measure tickets being different), but the party who received it from the defendant's carman had not marked it at the moment so as to be able to swear that the one now exhibited was the same ; nor was it traced, by the production of witnesses, from hand to hand, from the moment the carman delivered it to the present time. He therefore disntissed the complaint. Mr. Jackson, a coal merchant at Horsclydown, attended on a complaint from the same quarter, for not delivering the usual ticket with some coals, but as the complainant had ascertained there was no fratolu'ent intent, he would, without at all entering upon the case, assent to a nominal fine being imposed, and the defendant pleading guilty, was fined ss. BOW-STREET. On Saturday Edward Marielly, who stands charged with having uttered a farged cheque on the bank of Messrs. Coutts and Co. for 2001., was brought forward in order to be finally examined. Mr. Thomas Hamlet, jeweller, of Prince's-street, Hay market, in whose name the cheque had been drawn, said, that he kept an account at the bank of Messrs, Coutts and Co. The cheque now produced was neither drawn by him nor by his authority. The signature was somewhat like his, and he considered it to be an imitation of the manner in which he usually signed his name to bills and cheques. Mr. Hartlett, the gentleman from whom the prisoner alleged he had received the cheque in question, came for ward and deposed that in October last he resided at No. 5, Raymond's-buildings, but since then he had removed to Bedford-row. Early in the week be had bet n in the coun try, and had never seen the prisoner in his life before. The prisoner admitted that Mr. Harlett was not the person from whom he received the cheque. Mr. HALLS told the prisoner that he was ready to hear any explanation which he might think fit to offer. The prisoner replied, that he had already stated all he knew about the matter. He then added, that in the year 1823, an uncle of his sent him out to America, and since then he bad lived almost entirely at New York. In October last he embarked at Quebec in the Challenger, and returned to this country with Lord and Lady Dal housie, Captain Fitzclarence, &c. Since his return to England he had lived as clerk with a gentleman in the Temple. Mr. HALLS said that there was evidence sufficient to send the case to trial. The prisoner was accordingly committed to Newgate. Four young men, named Wm. Crawley, Wm. Walker, Robert Garlick, and Richard Wilson, were charged with beating and kicking Henry Pennington, and fracturing his head with a billiard cue. It appeared that the four defendants were, at a late hour on Friday night, engaged at the game of unlimited 100, in a room at the house No. 11, Catherine -street, Strand, kept by a person named Buckingham, who, it ap pears, is in the habit of accommodating his customers, not only with billiards, but cards, dice, &c. The complainant watched the game, and soon perceived that three of the defendants were playing " booty" in order to " pigeon" their companions. Feeling a natural desire to share in the rrofits, he whispered to one of the prisoners that he saw bow the matters stood, and was desirous of lending his as sistance to pluck the pigeon. The offer was rejected, whereupon Pennington declared openly that there was robbery going forward. The prisoners immediately rose, and began to pummel him without mercy. One of them (Walker) seized a billiard cue, and striking him with it on the head cut it open. Sir R. BraNIE asked if the landlord of the house were present ? Buckingham, the proprietor of the rooms, ac cordingly stepped forward, and explained that the four de fendants went to his house on Friday night, and asked to be accommodated with supper in a private room. He ac cordingly supplied them with supper and drink, which he obtained at a house in the neighbourhood. The com plainant Pennington intruded himself upon the company of the defendants, and was the first aggressor in the assault which took place. Sir B. BIRNIE—You have no licence to sell spirits, yet you keep your house open at two o'clock in the morning, and provide liquor for those who are foolish enough to enter your rooms for the purpose of gambling. A watchman said that the house was open at all hours of the night. Sir R. BIRNIE directed the defendants to rind hail, and intimated his intention of having an indictment preferred against Mr. Buckingham for keeping a disorderly house. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. On Saturday, John Porter, a young Irian about twenty years of age, was charged before Mr. DYE¢ with having stolen several volumes of the Journals belonging to the Houses of Parliament, from the warehouse of Mr. Thomas Barnes, a bookseller in Great Pulteney-strcet. Mr. Barnes stated, that his warehouse was in Smith's-court, Wind mill-street, and lately it had been burglariously entered upon several occasions, and a vast number of valuable works taken from thence. On the previous evening, as he was going along Windmill-street, lie saw the prisoner carrying a large sack, apparently filled with books. Sus pecting the prisoner had plundered the warehouse, he stopped him, and found that his burden consisted of a large quantity of the Journals of the Houses of Lords and Cern mons, which he identified as his property. He subse quently discovered that the warehouse had been entered during the week by false keys, and the journals formed a portion of the property which had been stolen. He believed the prisoner belonged to a notorious gang of thieves, who had been so often concerned in robbing his premises. The prisoner said in his defence, that the books w ere given to him by a stranger in the street, who employed him to carry them to the 13u11, in Holborn, where lie was pro ceeding when he was taken into custody. He was fully committed for trial. • THE LATE FIRE AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—Saturday afternoon an Irish labourer, named Timothy Hurley, was brought up from St. Margaret's watch-house, and placed at the bar, before Messrs WHITE and MARRIOTT, the sit ting Magistrates, charged on suspicion of being concerned in the late mysterious transaction at 'Westtninster Abbey, Several Prtlsendafies from the C athedral attended the exainitiaticn, and considerable anxiety was evinced to know the result of the investigation. Mr. *MITE asked the prisoner what he was, and where he lived? The prisoner replied he was a labourer, and lied at No. 11, Lewisham-street. He had worked at the Abbey about ten years, and was discharged from thence about sik Months tsp. Mr. WHITE asked the prisoner what he had been doing since he was discharged ? Prisoner—l have been em ployed by Mr. 'Wyatt at the Duke of Wellington's, in Pic cadilly, and was discharged about a month ago. Since then I have been out of work. Mr. WHITE—Have you not lately changed your lodg ing ? Prisoner--I have taken another lodging, at the corner of New Tothill-street and Orchard street, but have not yet gone to it. Mr. Wilms—ls there any lock on the door of the house in Lewisham-street? Prisoner—lt is only fastened by a latch. You pull a string, and it opens. Sometimes this string is pulled through from the inside, and then no per son can get in without knocking. Mr. WHITS—Does the landlord live in the house? Prisoner---He does not ; they are all lodgers. Mr. WHITS—Are you a married man ? Prisoner— Yes ; I have a Wife and three children. Mr. WHlTE—Generally speaking, I suppose any person can enter the house in Lewisham-street at what hour they please ? Prisoner—They cm. William Woodberry, the officer, now deposed—About a quarter before six o'clock this morning, I went with Handley to the prisoner's lodgings, at No. 11, Lewisham street. We found him in bed, and I told him he was wanted to go before a magistrate ; and I said, " I suppose you know what it is fur." He replied, " I have heard some talk of it." Prisoner (interrupting the witness, and laughing. ) Your Worship, I said that because a number of persons have been lately chaffing me about the Abbey. Witness continued—The prisoner then gat up and dressed himself, and we took him to the watch-house. Ile had a pair of nailed shoes on, and I took them to Mr. Carter, the clerk of the works, and requested him to mea sure and compare the shoes with the footstep marks on the stairs in Henry Vll.th's Chapel. He took the shoes, and in a short time returned, and informed me they fitted ex actly. I then went with Handley and Mr. Carter, and examined also. There were three rows of nails on one of the footmarks, which corresponded exactly. The mark of this footstep is about a dozen steps from the little door which opens into the enclosure round the chapel, and which, on our first examination, we found open, and a quantity of lead lying at the bottom of the staircase. Mr. WHITE-Did you see any other footsteps ? Wit ness—We did, but nose so plain as the one mentioned : there were also several marks of persons on the top steps of the staircase, leading on to the flats of the chapel, which appeared to have been made with nailed shoes. Mr. WHITE-In what manner ? Witness—The stone steps had been scratched as if done with nailed shoes. . _ Mr. WHITE-What sort of lead was found ? Witness What they call flashings. Mr. WHITE—What sort of a foot-mark is it that you have compared the shoe with? Witness--The imprint is made in dust. Edward Handley gave similar testimony of the last witness, and produced the prisoner's shoes, which were carefully examined by the Magistrates and Prebendaries present. Mr. WHITE.—Are there any other foot-marks you can compare the shoes with? Witness—There are some marks outside the door on the grass-plot, near the iron railings, but we have not yet compared those marks. A quantity of lead found at the bottom of the staircase was here produced. Mr. Carter here identified the lead, which belonged to the chapel. It was called flashings. He also gave similar ti.timony as the officers about the foot-snarks which he had seen on the morning after the fire. They were much plainer then than they are at present. Mr. WHITE—How is that? Mr. Carter—Persons have been up and down the staircase since I was first there. Mr. WHITE—I am very sorry this has been allowed. State exactly where the lead was found ? Mr. Carter_ Close behind the door at the bottom of the staircase, which was open. Mr. WHITE-When you first examined the staircase, how did you get to it? Mr. Carter—By an entrance through Eye-slip Chapel, a small chapel in Henry Vll.th's Chapel, which is about seven or eight steps from the bottom of the staircase. I observed footsteps on the stairs going down, and likewise on the stairs which were above me. Mr. WHITE-Do you know the prisoner? Mr. Carter —I do not; I never saw him before in my life. He was discharged before I came to the Abbey. Mr. WHITE-Can you speak as to when you are posi tive the door was fastened last? Mr. Carter—Not exactly; but I think about a fortnight ago. I then tried the door on the outside, and found it was fastened on the inside. Mr. WHITE—Can you state when you saw the lead last? Mr. Carter—About the same time. Mr. WHITE.-Was there any person besides yourself who could have access to that part of the building ? Mr. Carter—Ratcliff, the carpenter, had access there last Mon day; he was at work on the roof above the vaultings in Henry Yll.th's chapel, but it was some distance from where the lead was taken. Mr. WHITE—Then he could have no business near the lead. Mr. Carter—Certainly not. Mr. WHITE—You are positive the lead must have been placed there within the last fortnight? Mr. Carter—l am. Mr. WHITE—Now, Hurley, you have heard the evi dence against you ; what do you say to it? Prisoner (smiling.)—l ca n 't h e l p t h e c h arge . lam sorry for it, hut lan as innocent as the child unborn. I care for neither friends or foes, and they may bring all the world against me if they like, for what I care. Is it likely, if I was guilty, I should remain about Westminster, and wear such shoes ? I have passed near the Abbey every day since, and gone through Dean's yard. If your Worship hail sent for me, I would have come directly ; there was nu occasion to send as officer for me. Mr. WRITE---Can you give me any account of yourself on last Monday? Prisoner—Yes, your Worship, I think I can. He then repeated a long story, and mentioned the different places and persons he had been with in the course of the day. He got home to his lodging in Lewisham street about nine o'clock the same evening. Mr. WHITE—Did you go out after that? Prisoner—l did, your Worship ; I went to the King's Arms in Bowl ing -street, between ten and eleven o'clock, to pay Mr. Wintle, the landlord, for two pots of beer and a penny worth of tobacco which I owed him. Mr. WHITE—Did you stop long there ? Prisoner—No, I did not, I just looked in and paid him, and then returned home. Jr.A WIIITE-Were you at the King's Arms when the alarm of the Abbey being on fire vi as brought ? Prisoner —No, your Worship, I left almost directly. On my road home I met Boyd, a watchman on duty, and he asked me if there were any workmen employed at the Abbey at night. I told him I did not know, fur I had left the Abbey some months. Boyd said he thought there was, as he had seen lights moving about. 3lr. WIUTE—What time did you get home ? Prisoner —About eleven o'clock. Mr. WHITE—Did you let yourself in? Prisoner—No, the string of the latch was in the inside, and I was forced to knock. Mr. WHITE let you in ? Prisoner—A man named Scafe, a bullman, who lives in the house. Mr. WHITE—How long is it since you were in the Abbey? Prisoner—l have never been inside the Abbey since I got my discharge. Mr. WHITE—YOII will stick to that? Prisoner—l will, your Worship : never since I was discharged have I been inside the Abbey. Mr. WHITE-After you got home at eleven o'clock, did you go out agsin ? Prisoner—l did not. Mr. WHITE—WeII, Hurley, the evidence at present against you is certainly very slight, but I must detain you for the present until further inquiries can be made, for the inquiry is of a very important nature. Prisoner—l hope your Worship will not send me hack to prison. I am in nocent : it is very hard. I will come up again at any time. Mr. WHITE.—Why you have not been in prison before? Prisoner—No, your, Worship; but I have been confined in the watch-house since six o'clock this morning. I don't know what to do. I have a wife and three children at home ; they are quite destitute, and, they have not a fat thing in the world, Mr. WHITE said he wa3 under the necessity of detain ing him for further examination. The in ironer then bowed to the magistrate, and was taken from the bar. During the whole of the examination the prisoner answered the questions put to him in the moat ingenious manlier, without the slightest confusion, and smiled the Whole of the time. lie appears to be a good-tempered kind of fellow, about 25 years of age. HATTON-GARDEN. On Saturday a fellow named Kirkman, well known in the prize-ring as the " fighting Jarvey," was brought up to this office by Teesdale, the Somers-town watch-house keeper, and charged before Mr. LALNG with the following cruel treatment to a horse : Teasdale, about ten o'clock on Friday night, repaired to Seymour-street, New-road, and there he saw the defen - dant and two others mounted upon a coach-box. There were several other persons in and about the coach. Upon coming up close to the place where the coach was, he found one of the horses dreadfully lacerated, and bleeding in a most shocking manner. The ground near it was lite rally covered with blood, as was the vehicle to which the animal was attached. An immense number of persons were present, all of whom attributed the shocking state which the horse was in to the cruel treatment inflicted upon it by the defendant. The Magistrate condemned the defendant for his cruelty, and fined him 40s. for his coach being without plates. The defendant was locked up in default of payment. WORSHIP-STREET. The Magistrates were engaged for some hours on Satur day, inquiring touching a most injurious practice resorted to lately by some of the journeymen silk-weavers, of en tering the houses of men disposed to work at reduced prices, and destroying the work. Five cases have been stated at the office, in which the houses of men who had work in hand were entered, and the whole of the silk in the loom destroyed. The case more immediately before the Magi strates on Saturday was that of a .man in the employ of ➢lr. Hunt. It appeared from his statement, that at night he heard a knock at his street-door, and when he opened it several men rushed in and knocked him down, and spoiled the whole of his finished work, about sixty yards of silk, by stabbing it with knives, after which they went away and left it, This was the fifth case in which the same villainous course had been pursued. Mr. BENNETT addressed the men assembled in a very forcible manner upon the unlawful proceeding in question, and read to them time law which makes it a transportable offence. Mr. Price, the "relieving overseer" of St. Luke's parish, attended before Mr. Bennett, who had desired to speak to him, touching a very distressing case which oc curred before him a day or two previously. Thomas Jeffreys, a young married man had been brought before the Magistrate, cha-ged with stealing a piece of beef, weighing 21,1 b. from the shop of Mr. Meady. a butcher. He was detected in the act of stealing it, and the case was at first regarded as the act of a common thief. From an inquiry which took place subsequently, however, it was found that he had a wife and family in a most dis tressed condition, and it appeared probable, as the prisoner himself decl tied, that pinching want had driven him to the commission of crime. It was proved by witnesses who afterwards came fat ward, that he had always borne a good character. The misery in which he and his family had been existing was sufficiently proved ; and one of the witnesses, a married female, said that the prisoner begged food of her, and ate with a ravenous appetite a piece of bread and butter which she gave him. The prisoner, on being asked by the Magistrate why be did not seek relief from his parish, stated that he bad several times applied to Mr. Price, the overseer, who not only refused to relieve him, but threatened to send him to prison. The Magis trate caused the prisoner's own statement, and the state ments of the other persons, to be added to the depositions, and on Saturday the Magistrate placed them in the bands of Mr. Price, who, having read and returned them, de clared that the matter respecting the application to him was false. Mr. BrNsErr laid he only knew what was s►ated here, and the statements would go before the Judge and the pub lic at the trial. Mr. Price repeated hie declaration, and there the matter dropped. TOWN.HALL. A transaction in close alliance with felony came to light on Saturday, during the hearing a case of assault pre ferred by one 11I'Donnell, a hawker of Irish linen, &c., against a common informer, named John Edmonds. By 111'Donnell's account, it appeared that the wife of a shopkeeper in the Borough, to whom he had tendered his wares, tired with his importunities, thrust him out of the shop at the moment Edmonds and another of his trade, of the name of Skinner, came by, and demanded to see his licence, which, after some little hesitation, not know ing they were authorised, he produced, and went on his way. 'f hey followed, and observed, nudging him on the shoulder, that he had been grossly assaulted by the wo man, and if he would indict, they would come forward as witnesses, if he would shell nut. He answered that he had no money to go to law with, and they immediately, glancing at his pack, said, if he had not money he had money's worth, and prevailed on him to go to a public-- house, where Edmonds tried ma a waistcoat, and selected a piece of Irish and two silk handkerchiefs, which done, he commenced writing on a number of slips of paper, and at length tendered one of them, an I 0 U, without any address, as security for the payment of 265., the price put upon the goods, which he refused to accept. It was then proposed that, to strengthen it, Skinner's name should be added ; to whose sleeve he also declined pinning his faith. " Oh, if that be so," said Edmonds, consequentially, " we'll soon satisfy you of our responsibility when the landlord comes down, who will have no hesitation in back ing it himself, and returning you 25., which I want you to lend me to spend in drink ;" " and upon the strength of this," continued the complainant, " I was silly enough to lend him 2s. ; but soon found out my mistake, the land lord refusing to have any thing to do with them. Where. upon Edmonds took up the goods, threw down the I 0 U, saying I should have no other security, and walked out. I followed him, and brought him hack into the shop— where, handing the goods over to Skinner, he struck and knocked me down. :The goods I have neither seen or been paid for since." Mr. Theodore, the landlord, said lie witnessed the de fendant, upon his refusing to lend himself to the trans action, throw the I 0 U on the counter, and heard him say, he'd be if he give any other security; be then left the shop with the goods. He afterwards saw him strike the complainant—Skinner holding the goods the while. An unqualified person, acting as solicitor to Edmonds, asked the complainant if he was prepared to swear that he had not agreed to accept of the IOU as it stood? (It was produced.)—" Certainly not," was the answer. Sir JOHN PERRINO (throwing the precious document from him).—Do you mean to say, there was any security in thtt ? " I never did consent to take it, Sir John," said the complainant ; " and when Edmonds struck me, I called upon Skinner, who, from drawing a staff from his poc ket, I considered an officer, to protect me ; but he refused." Sir JOHN (to Skinner.)—By what right do you carry a stiff, are you a constable? Let rae look at it. The officers said be WWI not a constable. Skinner.-1 carry it for my own protection, as an in.. spector of hawkers' licences. Sir JOHN looked at him, and after viewing it, put the s taff down. The pretended solicitor to the complainant.—Perhaps yon will swear that you (lid not seize the defendant before he struck you ? Sir J. PERRING (with indignation. )—Every man, Sir, has a right to seize another who attempts to rob him. The defendant entered into a long and disgusting nar ration of the quantity of spirits drank between them at half a score public houses, and had the audacity to put forward Skinner, and a boy of the same name, in the same profession, as witnesses, to prove the complainant had ex pressed his willingness to trust the defendant even to the amount of 101., lint the Alderman scouted their evidence, and ordered the defendant to find good bail. A deplorable accident has befallen the Dili gence of Antwerp to Amsterdam. On the evening of the 25th, at half-past eight o'clock, it left the city, and a quarter of an hour afterwards fell into the outer ditch of the glacis of the Porte Rouge. The cause of the accident cannot be ascertained ; ten persons perished, among whom is Mr. LEGIf, an English gentleman attached to the British Legation at Munich : seven persons were saved. From the details we have received from Antwerp respecting this unhappy accident, it seems that the traces of the fore horses broke at a dangerous spot where the road is narrow, wind ing between two ditches without any railing or any other guard. The water in the ditch was fifteen feet, so that though the coach was not upset, little more than the roof was above water; three passengers on the roof were the first that were saved. Those inside seem to have made great efforts to open the doors, but unhappily they could only be opened from the outside. The driver, who was considered as a very careful and skilful man, perished, and also three of the horses.—Dutch Paper. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. IMPERIAL PA RLIAM ENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS. CASLETT'S DIVORCE BILL. Mr. ADAMS was heard at considerable length to-day in favour of this Bill. The case was one of considerable aggravation, the seducer of Mr. Cas• lett's wife being his own cousin, a married man, with a large family. After the Learned Counsel had concluded, the Lord Chancellor postponed the examination of witnesses till four o'clock to-morrow. Several private Bills were read a third time and passed. The House went into a Committee upon the Composition Assessed Taxes, and several other Bills. Mr. BRIGHT and others brought up three private Bills. Sir War. HEATIICOTE brought up eight private Bills. Mr. Burford, from the Trinity House, presented an account of the Pilots for 1828. Mr. Walker presented papers from the Court of Chancery in Ireland. Lord NAPIER moved for certain returns re specting the Poor-rates. Lord BERESFORD presented a petition against the passing of the Clarence Rail-way Bill. Lord GREY presented petitions from individuals to the same effect. The Noble Lord also presented a petition from Chorleigh, Lancashire, against the monopoly of the East India Company in the Tea trade-. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved for certain returns respecting the Coal Trade. He also moved that the Committee be at liberty to report to the House from time to time. LORD LIEUTENANCY OF IRELAND• The Marquis of ANGLESEA rose to make his promised explanation relative to his sudden recal from the Lord Lieutenantcy of Ireland. He said—The mo ment has now arrived which I have been looking for with the greatest anxiety and much solicitation, because I have been labouring under a severe stigma and rebuke, and have been subject to many insi nuations which I felt it was within my power to relieve myself from. My Lords, now that moment has arrived, I really feel myself overwhelmed with the difficulties I have to encounter. First, I have to do that which I feel myself unable to do—which always gives me pain—that of addressing your Lordships on a public affair. Next, my Lords, I am under the necessity of speaking of myself. And lastly, though not least, I fear that in endeavouring to vindicate myself, I may have the appearance of wishing to inculpate others. My Lords, I disclaim any such object. Mine is purely defensive: the only object I have in view is to explain the cir cumstances of my sudden recal from Ireland—of the unusual manner in which that event took place—of the—l must call it—offensive manner of the dis missal ; and I must also speak of the letter I wrote, which was said to be the cause of this. But pre viously to this, I wish to relieve myself from many of the insinuations that have gone forth. Only one manly attack has bees' made upon me, and 1 really feel grateful to the noble Earl who made it, because it gave me an opportunity of fully explaining to him that he was under a misrepresentation as to my conduct. I take the liberty of stating on this occa sion, that at that time, so anxious was I not to over state the case, not to state any thing I could not prove, that I then made an admission not at all necessary. The Noble Earl made a reply, after I had in formed your Lordships that I had placed a fourth physician to join the committee on Mr. Eneas Macdonnell's health. The Noble Earl stated that that physician had not signed the paper, and moreover, that he had refused to sign any paper that did not go to the state of his health. Now my Lords, I can only state that 1 have lately ascertained, that Dr. Cheyne did sign the paper, arid no person was more aware of the serious state of Mr. Macdonnel's health than he was. I will now state, my Lords, the course which I pur sued in Ireland. My extreme anxiety is, that Govern ment should be in full possession of the state of that country. I have no reserve, my Lords, whatever. I was anxious that every thing I knew of the state of Ireland should be known even in the highest quarter. I took particular pains be fore I went from this country to explain the particular grounds on which alone I could undertake the government of that country, and I believe I have not swerved in the smallest degree from the course I pursued ; and I shall have occasion to refer to letters arid communications, and I think it will appear from them that I was not negligent of the Protestant re ligion, and that I did not snpport the Catholic As sociation. The Noble Marquis then proceeded at considerable length to read the different papers and documents bearing upon his case. (LEFT SFEAKING. ) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair precisely at Four o'clock. Several Private Bills were forwarded a stage. Mr. DICKENSON presented a petition from the Woollen Manufacturers of Somersetshire, praying for a Repeal of the Laws affecting the Free Trade with India; and also a petition from the parish of St. Michael's, Bath, praying for a Repeal of the Window Tax. Lord WILLIAM POWLETT presented a pe tition from the Ship-owners of Durham, in favour of a free trade to the East Indies. Mr. F. WILSON presented a petition from the inhabitants of High and Low Harrowgate, praying for a Repeal of the Window Tax. Mr. ROWLAND HILL presented a petition from the County of Salop against the reduction of the Militia. Mr. NICHOLSON CALVERT presented a petition from St. Albans, against the reduction of duty on Foreign 'Thrown Silk. Mr. DOWNIE presented a petition from the Magistrates of Aberdeen, against the Bill now in progress for the enlargement of Goals in Scotland. Mr. DUGDALE presented a petition from Bir mingham against the Able Bodied Labourers Bill. Mr. SLANEY moved for the amount collected in every parish in England and Wales, for the sup port of the Poor since the year 1819.—Ordered. Mr. ROBINSON presented several petitions from Silk Manufacturers in Berkshire and Somer set, against the reduction of the Duty on Foreign Thrown Silks. Mr. W. WHITMORE postponed a motion re specting the East India Company for a fortnight. Mr. LITTLETON presented a petition from a gentleman named Sincox, respecting the rate of in terest allowed OH commercial claims, by the Com missioners appointed by Act of Parliament, for the purpose of liquidating the claims of British sub jects upon France. The petitioner complained that he should be subject to great injustice if he were to submit to the award that had been made. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that, with deference to the opinion of the Honourable Member, he thought that the adop tion of the course proposed in this petition v,ould be in a highly degree dangerous and injudicious. lie considered that the Commissioners ought not to have given any advice to the petitioner, but to have allowed them to have taken their own course rela tive to appealing. After a few words from Mr. BERNAL and Mr. P. THOMPSON, Mr. R. GRANT observed that the question was, not whether the parties should have their claims granted, but whether the parties should have the merits of their claims examined. The Right Hon. Member then supported the petition at some length. (sAn turrnia.) SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL.

E Season of the Tear is approaching when JL e public will have additional reason to congratulate themeelvis upon this important and national invention. So many attempts have been raade to mislead the good folks of the Metropolis, by pretending to vitro the Nying evil of bad water, Without the least pretension, that we were amongst the many who remained sceptical as to the pretensions of the Roy a l Filter, until we were led to seek ocular demonstra liott by having one fixed up in a large cistern, and we have now no sort of hesitation in pronouncing it QUIVE Coal -1,1,1,1E, aid in giving it ooa UNQUALIFIMO ettatev. The names of the hightet professional talent in the Metro pole have given the strangest testimony, that they may be emetitlered, in the metropolitan city of London as au ab polite .‘ God-send," but we will illustrate their opinions by stnithoru fee's, and proofs as strong as Holy Writ ; and tiro let cx examine the state of the water, as now drank by the thousand and ten thousand persons who bare not yet availed themselvem of this Filter, and our readers will bear in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence given l ast 6eCIA4II in the ARITISPI HOUSE Or TARLIAMENT• The following otatinent and learned men in their voca tions have given evidence, of which the following is ne ueesarily a shirt extract, viz.

Dr. James Johnson, the author of the " Treatise on In digestion," says—," We sneer at the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at the same tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; but what shall we say to the DELICATII CITIIINNI or WOSIMINSTER, WHO FILL THEW.

The last professional gentleman to whose evidenee we shall refer, is Dr. Paris, the author of the popular work on Diet. He pronounces the water to be impure• and offensive, and siiys that it stinks shortly after it has come in. LARGE QUANTITIES OP MATTEL ARE MECHANICALLY SUSPENDED IN IT. "As A PHYSICIAN'," he says, " I CAN-- NOT TIND 'PERMS SUFFICIENTLY EXPRESSIVE OF THE Aw- PUL EriErrs rr MAY BE LIKELY TO PRODUCE UPON THE HEALTH, AND BYRE LITES, OF THE INHABITANTS OP THE METROPOLIS " And in the last edition of his work he goes still further, and asserts, that if a remedy be not ap plied to the evil, " THE RAVAGES OP SOME EPIDEMIC MAI: BE FAIRLY ANTICIPATID." SUCH Is TUE PICTIIIOI---THE FAVIHFUL AND rAfOHI- FUL PICTURE - OF THE 11/CONDITION 01' THE 'MATES OF THE THAMES, AS SUPPLIED BY THE COMPANIES TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. That the inhabitants of the richest, largest, most populous city in the wog.

We must have some thing more solid and satisfactory than hare assertions."— The following statement must, we think, set the doublet of the most sceptical at rest for ever. Mr. flume, the respectable aid talented chemist of Long Acre, who has long been employed by Government in analysing waters, had two bottles sent to him for analysation; ONY FULL OF ♦LL SORTS OF ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE alATTtdttS IN A SIATE OF DECOMPOSITION, AND STRONGLY IMPREGN %TRD w)Tfl GAS; the other, a bottle which had contained the same foul ingredients, but hail been purified by the Royal In the unfiltered bottle he found, he says, forty-six grains and a half of solid matter, of which thirty grains consisted of impurities, and the remaining sixteen grains were the original ingredients peculiar to the water, and dissolved in it : " fur," he observes, " there is no water, however pare and wholesome, whether from deep wells, superfic.ial springs, or any othea source, that is free from saline and ether soluble salts, not at all injurious to health." In the filtered bottle he found only sixteea grains of substances, which, en examination, proved to he the same materials pe;:uliar to, and soluble in, the water in its pri mitive state, and perfectly free from the impurities and contingent foulness of the water, occasioned principally by decayed vegetable matters, a slight impregnation fry animal substance, some carbureted hydrogen or coal gas, and car bonic acid gas. Mr. Hume concludes with bearing the following high testimony to the merits of this discovery: " After a very careful analysis, I cannot hesitate to pro nounce the method which has been adopted to filter this specimen of water to be most effectual, and deserv ing of public encouragement." The same gentleman, at a subsequent period, analysed two other bottles, and says, the opinion I had tiormeal of this new process for filtering is fully confirmed." We should add, that the water thus analysed, ALTMOUGIS PORPO6ELY STRONGLY 114TREC- NA'PED WITH GAS A N 5) CrfilaiL IMPURIVIES, BECAME CRYITALLISED, AND DESTITUTF. OF TASTE AND SAIXI.L. Thus it is clearly proved, THAT OF"PHE FORTY-3NC GRAMS AND ♦ MALE OF SOLID MATTER ORIGINALLY PLACED INT THE ROYAL FILTNR, ONLY SIXTRFN GRAINS Or SUBSTANCES PASSED THROUGH It ; AND WHICH SIT- TEEN GRAINS ARE PROVHD TO BE PECULIAR 70 WATER. IN res PILIMITIVE STATE, AND NOT AT ALL DBLIITHRIOLIS TO taxa Wrii. However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners may apply to all former systems of filtration, it is greatly to he regretted that, before the close of their labours, they had not the benefit of the preceding experinients, and of the following striking testimonials to the excellence, of " The Royal Filter." Professor Braude, Dr. Clarke, Ir. Brodie, Mr.- Keats, Dr. Scudamore, and 30 other highly eminent and unpre judiced medical men, have each had the Royal Filter placed in their cisterns, and they all cancer in stating that it renders the most turbid, fietid water of chrystaline brilliancy, and free front taste and smell. • It should be observed that the difficulty of getting pure water is very common in most of the large towns, and indeed throughout the provinces. The difficulty or necessity of placing a Filter at this distance is now restored. Portable ones of all dimensions, capable of filtering from 50 to 500 gallons every 24. hours, have been adapted to prevent the inconvenience allatled to. Thesupence is front SOs. to 4/. or We trivst we have said enough to draw general attention to the merits of a discovery highly conducive to the cleanliness, comfort, and health of the inhabitants of this thickly peopled Metropolis.

The following communication with which we have been favoured, discloses a new and important fact regarding the destination of the Portuguese refugees, now embarking at Plymouth. They are to debark, it seems, at Terceira, which still holds out against Don Miguel, and, protected by the almost impreg nable fortifications of Angra, await a favourable op portunity for making a descent upon Portugal in favour of the young Queen : " His Majesty's ship Badger, which was fur about two years on the Clyde station, was ordered about ten months ago to Lisbon, on Don Miguel assuming the Royal prerogative. The Badger ar rived twice at Plymouth with the unfortunate refu gees. About five months ago she was despatched on particular service, and on her orders being opened her destination was found to be for the Western Islands. She has been cruizing off the Islands of Madeira and Terceira, from which she returned home but a few days ago. It is said that the con templated embarkation of the Portuguese officers, &c. now in the neighbourhood of Plymouth, is for the island of Terceira, instead of the Brazils. 1 his is considered by those best acquainted with Portuguese matters to he the most judicious arrange ment for the interest of the young Queen, as well as that of the Constitutionalists. The island is held by a Brigadier-General of known and tried attach ment to the cause, and also one of great military talent. He has considerable !limbers of the regular army, though he would require more to garrison the Castle of Angra, which he was provisioning with all despatch w hen the Badger was last there. These strong 1101,18 are reckoned almost impregnable, and would set at defiance a largo attacking force. The local situation of Terceira is such, that a descent from it on the coasts of Portugal is rendered very easy, and the refugees can have early intelligence whenever a favourable change takes place in politics in the Court of Lisbon, or in the rising of the Con stitutionalists. To this spot in the Atlantic, there. fore, their brightest hopes and their dreams of liberty are entirely directed. " The particular details relative to the late cap. ture of the Castle of Fayal, are very interesting. The Bridgers was there at the time, and gave refuge to a young gentleman, who was one of the Consti tutionalists engaged; he escaped on board of the brig, under the sanction of her Commander and the English inhabitants. His grandfather, Mr. Parkins, has been for a long time Consul of the island ; he was for about six weeks on board, and finally fended at Plymouth. He mentioned that it is quite impos sible to calculate on the support of any party, except those to which the Monks are devotedly attached —that the hold they have over the consciences and actions of man would be matter of wonder to Britons in this enlightened age—that these men are them selves deplorably ignorant, and that whenever they see the least attempt at the spread of liberal opinions, or any thing which tends to forward the march of freedom, they stand forth in dreadful array with all the anathemas of the Church of Rome to arrest its rogress." • On Thursday evening, Mr. Batson, the li brAry-keeper of Trinity-eollege, was found prostrate on the library floor, beneath the baneful influence of an apop lectic fit. He was removed, and medical assistance imme diately applied, but he expired next morning.—Cambridge Independent Press. There, is now living at Lynn, a Mr. Henry Regester, formerly a considerable wholesale tailor and draper of that town, who, since he was seventy-four years of age, has cut six teeth ! He has been blind four and twenty years, and, though now in his eightieth year, he bar cut out and made himself a complete suit of clothes, with out any assistance whatever.—An instance of teeth cutting at seventy years of age is recorded upon an old gravestone in Holbeach churchyard. We hope Mr. Register will live longer to enjoy his new ivories than did his predecessor of Holbeach, of whom it is written, in a rustic couplet, ' She'd twenty new teeth at seventy years old, And at seventy-two she was laid in the mould.

A gallint coming in from sea, got on the Nayland Rock this afternoon, disabled her rudder, and has proceeded upwards, in charge of and steered by a lugger from hence. INDICATIONS OF WHOLESOMENESS IN AICSIIROOMS.—Whenever a fungus is pleasant in flavour and odour, it may be considered as wholesome ; if, on the contrary, it have an offensive smell, a bitter, astringent, or styptic taste, or even if it leave an unpleasant flavour in the mouth, it should not be considered fit for food. The colour, figure, and texture of these vegetables do not afford any characters on which we may rely ; yet it may be re marked that in colour the pure yellow, geld colour, bluish pale, datk or lustre brown, wine red, or the violet, belong to many that are esculent; while the pale or sulphur yel low, bright or blood red, and the greenish, belong to few but the poisonous. The safe kinds have most frequently a compact, brittle texture; the flesh is white; they grow more readily in open places, such as dry pastures and waste lands, than in places humid or shaded by wood. In general, those.should be suspected which grow in caverns and subterraneous. passages, on animal matter undergoing putrefaction,as well as those whose flesh is soft or watery,— /7) trn rOor7” Wheat I'S 84 00 PO 60 8,8 6% 88 61 80 78 86 82 86 55 90 78 90 till 8% 46 AO 40 'O7 55 78 79 72 S 8 72 St 80 96 72 s. cl. s. d. 112 0 128 Barley. 1 Oats. 44 46 28 3S 32 42 38 41 38 42 34. 43 41 44 30 42 30 43 32 40 35 44 35 40 21 33 P 7 41 32 38 38 43 3 . 40 32 40 33 42 s. cl.

AMERICAN PAPERS; In consequence of the strong easterly winds, the Britannia packet ship, from New York, arrived off Liverpool, had not been able to get into that puff. The Leeds steamer, from Dublin,. had been along side of her, and brought up the letter bag. The pa pers are to the 17th ult. A report hsd reached New York, that peace had been made between Colombia and Peru. The ac count comes by way of Jamaica, where they had re• ceived letters from Bogota of the 23d October. These American Papers have brought us a docu ment of considerable importance, which ac( ompanie I the President's Message, and was laid by him, with others, for the consideration of Congress. This document is the Report from the Treasury. 7--- Though usually confined to the financial operations of the year, it is extended, in the present instance, to those of the three preceding years, and to their results. We shall give a brief outline and summary of the whole. Rush, by whom, as head of the Treasury, this Report is made, commences by confirming the state ment of the President, that the' Revenue of ISkB had exceeded the estimate of Congres s , while the expences had not one - beyond' tfie lfinittepre-eribed by law, with the exception of those occasione d by a greater 'reduction of the public debt than had been anticipated, in consequence of a surplus in the Tra sury arising out of the increased receipts. He very justly observes, " that it is 'amongst the highe:it duties of a nation, faithfully to keep to its pecuniary engagements, and that there need be no better de monstration of its pecuniary ability, than when it is seen to pay off with promptitude and. punctuality its funded debt." He then states, that in 1825, the amount paid on account of the debt, was 12,099,044 dollars, not, however, wholly out of' a surplus Re venue. In 1826, there were paid 11,039,441 dol lars, all from surplus Revenue. In 1827, 10,001,583 dollars, from a similar source ; and in 1828, 12,163,566 dollars, also from surplus Revenue, mak ing for the four years, 45,303,642 dulls., 30,373,188 of which had been applied to the reduction of the _ _ principal, and 1030,414.5 to the payment of the in , terest. He also states the important fact, that the whole of the reduction operated on the part of principal which bears the high interest of 6 per cent. - s not astonishing, therefore, that, as Mr. Rush " whatever the considerations of public :ells us, policy may be that have made the rapid extinguish ment of the debt a favourite object with the nation, the public creditor regards it individually as a hard ship to be paid off." By an Act of Congress passed in 1817, a Sinking Fund of ten millions of dollars, applicable annually to the payment of the interest and the redemption of the capital of the debt, was established. That Act, which only began to operate in 181 S, bed, pp to 1825, never received its full execution, from Ma- bility on the part of the Treasury. • But since that period, the deficiency has been entirely made up 10,- the excess of annual payments, and no arrears Fe nian at present due to the Sinking Fund. The total sum paid since the cemmeneement ,of 1818 to the close of 1828, an account of the debt, is .146,6(39,773 dollars (36,667,4131. sterling), of which 88,831,108 went to the reduction of the cipal, and 57,835,661 to the payment of interest. " Facts like these," Mr. Rush justly tells us, " at test the true character and value of a :Sinking, rued. which can only be effectively such, when income exceeds expenditure, and a clear surplus front the former is steadily applied to the diminution of die Debt." This is the principle on which the future operations of our own Sinking Fund are to be COI.. ducted, and as the flourishing state of our Revenue now supplies us with a yearly surplus, our progress will, we doubt not, become as regular and as satis factory as that of the United States. The next points on which the Report touches are the state of the funds and the amount of the im ports and exports. " The Stocks of the United states," we are told, " keep en elevation above par, indicative of the high credit of the Government," The three per cents. in particular, are favourites both at home and abroad, because they are the hiet to be redeemed. Since 1821, their price has ranged from 80 to 85. The importations into the United States, during the last four years, amount in value to 350,202,469 dollars; the exportations, during the same period, to 337,202,426 dollars ; the balance in favour ,of foreign trade is, therefore, 13,000,013 dollars. It may even be considered greater, for the experts of domestic produce and manufacture amounted only to 233,690,035 dollars, and the remaining 101,133,391 were re-exportations of foreign com modities. The imports and exports for the four years preceding 1824 were much less considerable, but maintained a similar proportion in favour of the foreign trade. The receipts into the Treasury during the last four years amounted to 97,957,559 dollars; the disbursements to 95,585,518, of which 14,000,000 were expended on internal works to benefit the country, and unconnected with the civil, military, or naval establishments. The receipts and exr eases of the four preceding years were also considerably less, but much more nearly balanced. The positive increase of Revenue during the period ending with 1828, exceeds 18,000,000 dollars, and is said to be derived wholly from the Customs. The average in crease of income in every year is estimated at upwards of twenty-four per cent., while that olthe expenses is only 10 per cent. The augmented con sumption of foreign articles during the same time averages 18 per cent each year. The shipping of the United States is believed to have increased during the same period; but the re turns were Hot sufficiently correct to speak with pre cision. The whole mercantile shipping of the Union is estimated at 1,50,000 tons, while in 1818 it was only 1,200,000. The Report then descants on the prosperity of the country advancing rapidly ill all its branches; and dwells with particular satisfaction on the benefits derived from the services of the Bank of the United • States, in the collection of the Revenue, and the payment of all the public charges. It also bestows high praise on the judgment with which it confines or enlarges its issue, so as to restrain excessive spe culations or to relieve scarcity. After pointing out the undertaking of great national works, it closes with a statement of the estimated Revenue and Expenses for 1829, similar to that given by the President in his Message-23,140,000 dollars the one, and 21,640,000 the other, leaving a surplus on the year of 1,500,000 dollars. New YORK, DEC. 16.—SAIUGGLING.—It is as• signed by the Secretary of War, in his Report, as one among other reasons for re-establishing the mi litary posts upon the northern and eastern frontiers of the United States, that the purpose had been avowed from high authority, and large preparations had accordingly been made with the view of smug gling goods from the British Provinces into the United States. Hence it is deemed necessary, on a frontier so thinly settled, that a force should be at hand to aid, in case of need, the civil authorities against any forcible attempt to contravene the laws of the Union. While we applaud this aed every other proper and reasonable precaution to uphold the supremacy of our laws, while they are laws, we cannot but view the very necessity that has led to the adoption of the measures now under considera, tion, as bearing strong testimony against the policy which requires to be taut upheld. CUARLESToN, Nov,. .B.s-eCo7roN.—lu uplands the business of the last.week was fair.

))REIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Prom the Gazette alt . France, idin. 8.) PARIS, JAN 7.--We have a Gallicia, which says that it was generally reported that the Turks had retaken Varna. On the other hand, the Berlin State Gazette affirms that they have been re pulsed, and that the Seraskier, who commanded them, was wounded. A ship which arrived at Toulon, on the Ist of January, brought word that the Dey of Algiers had sent one of his officers to Tunis, to negociate peace with the French Consul in that city. That, agent immediately communicated this news to the Govern ment, and asked for the necessary powers to receive the proposals of the Algerine Envoy. (From the 2kiessager des Chambres of Wednesday.) PATRAS, Nov. 2S.—Since the taking of Patras that town has entirely changed its appearance, and we see it gradually rising from its ashes. 500 hotves, or shops, have been erected on the port; whole streets are already inhabited, and there is abundance of every thing. The Gulf of Patras is at present covered with a great number of Greek fishing boats, which supply our markets with fish of all kinds in abundance. The Castle of Morea, which surrendered at dis cretion, after eleven days' siege, and_at the moment when twe breaches were become practicable, has been completely repaired, and put in a state of de fence. It was necessary to select for that purpose above eighty pieces of cannon. The same has been done at Patras, which is de fended by more than 50 pieces. The Governor of Achaia, and the Primates of Patras, have been to compliment General Schnieder on the fete of Charles X ; on which occasion they presented an address, expressing their gratitude to his Majesty for having sent his victorious troops, who, in a few days, delivered the Peloponnesus from the barbarians, and expressing their hopes that their brethren of Continental Greece would soon share the same happiness. (From the Courier Francais of Wednewlay.) CHANGE IN THE MINISTRY. Pants, Jas. 7.—lt now seems certain that M. de Ferronnays will retire. At present the Ministers are thinking of his successor; and as private ambi bition is always indiscreet, we have reason to think that M. Pasquier is again on the threshold of the hotel of Foreign Affairs, with more chances in his fa vont' at present, as one of his competitors is laid up, and the other is absent at Rome, where repairing an unjust forgetfulness of this country of the arts, be is erecting a monument to Poussin. We beg leave to invite the Ministry to reflect on its position, and we shall remind it of the character it has to every body else, though it refuses to believe in the correctness of the portraiL Hitherto it has only obtained half a confidence. There is no popularity in its measures, and it meets no sympathy in the nation. The ap proaching Session will place the difficult situation of the Ministry in a fresh light. The Chambers, we believe, will be more imperious than before. The time for making speeches is past, and the Mini sterial eloquence of M. Martignac will suffer much by the occasion. If M. Pasquier enters the Mini stry, will be be a support to it ? Will he bring reso lution and decision into the Cabinet, and gain an ascendancy ? Did he support the four or five Mini stries to which he has been attached ? We do not deny his skill in business, ncr his skill in words ; but he has always been the orator of see-saw, professing what Camille Jordan called constitutional bastardy. Finally, can it be forgotten that the Noble Peer was constantly opposed to M. de Villele ? The Ministry, we repeat, is essentially feeble ; it will be weaker still in the presence of the - Tribune, and we doubt very much if the choice now attributed to it is likely to give it the necessary strength. Letters from Constantinople arrived to-day give little hope that the Porte will consent to our inter ference with the Morn, and will recognise the inde pendence of Greece. From the inflexibility already shewn by the Sultan, we cannot expect he will be more tractable now that he has gained successes against the Russians. The knowledge also of the discussions between the three Powers will be an ad ditional motive for him to persevere, and not recog nise Greece. A cry of sorrow has been raised in Europe, since it has been known that Greece is only to include the Morea and the Cyclades—that the islands which have so heroically conquered their in dependence—that Missolonghi, Athens, the people of Thessaly, and Epirus, are inexorably excluded from the benefits for which they hare for so long a time contended. We are ignorant to what ciretim stances we owe this diplomatic decree. The news from Constantinople informs us that it is the English Cabinet and the policy of Wellington which have effected it. France and Russia wished to extend the boundaries in which the Greeks should live in freedom, but England would not consent, and its opposition has triumphed. .Although the political horizon of the Duke of Wellington is very limited, this Minister's views are still sufficiently extended to perceive, that though in the end the Russians must obtain some advantages, these will never be in proportion to the sacrifices which they will be obliged to make. He clearly sees, that weakened by the war, she will no longer be in a state to preserve her conquests against the will of those who have not entered into the lists, and who, is the interval, will have - augmented their riches and their military establishments. To these unavowed motives are joined others still more secret. The Cabinets of London and Vienna are not igno rant that dissension reigns in the interior of the Empire and in the ranks of the Russian Army. The conspiracy of Isaac was averted, but the spirit is not quelled, and the real principles have not been discovered. The Muscovite party has also gained new strength, and the military popularity which the Grand Duke Constantine enjoys has more than ever given offence to the Emperor Nicholas: This has, probably, resulted from the singular idea of Alex ander, who, to maintain the peace of Europe, never imagined any thing better than the formation of an immense permanent Army. Circumstances have occurred t hich develop still further the germs which such an assemblage may contain within itself, and we seem at present about to reap the harvest which he has planted. Finally, it is very probable that the Cabinet of St. James's will not be less just with respect to Russia than it was formerly towards France. The, least that Russia can lose is her political preponde rance. Already the prejudice which surrounds the Colossus of the North begins to be dissipated. Another campaign or two such as the fast, and this bugbear, which is presented at every turn, with a view to terrify the Continent, will no longer inspire terror either among the people or the Cabinets of Europe.

SHIPWRECK.—About the hour offline &clock on the morning of Sunday, the 21st ult., the look-out loan belonging to the preventive coast guard, on duty near Roundstose, Cuni:emara, having seen a large ship in dis tress in the offing, reported the circumstance to Mr. Eding ton, the active - and zealous chief officer of that district, who immediately ordered his galley to he launched and manned, which, together with the Mason Island galley, immediately proceeded in the direction where the derelict vessel lay. The consequence was, that the eargo, with a very slight lose, was saved, through the exertions of Mr. Edington, &c. The vessel's name is the Samuel Whit bread, of London. Too much credit cannot he given to Edington and his party for his exertions on this occasion. PRICES OP STOCKS THIS DAY AT OWE O'CLOCC. Bank Stock 2114 124 12outh Sea Stock — 3 per Cent. Red.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1829. The French Papers of Wednesday contain some particulars of the situation of Patras, which the French have in a manner resuscitated from its ashes—and thereby given an impulse to the Greek fishermen, highly beneficial to the com forts of the French themselves, who are daily supplied with abundance of all kinds of fish. The recapture of Varna is again reported, but the Berlin State Gazette asserts the contrary, and that in the repulse of the Turks the Scras kier, who commanded the assault, was wounded. The Courier Francais has an article indi cating a change in the French Ministry by the retirement of the Count de FERRONAYS, and the probability of his being succeeded by the Count de CHATEAUEEIAND, now at Rome, but the other Papers take no notice of the circumstance, and it is therefore, perhaps, entitled to little credit. The ilforning Chronicle of this day contains the following article :—" We believe there is no longer any reason to doubt the fact, that the British Cabinet has come to a determination to send an Envoy Extraordinary to Constantinople immediately, to enter upon a negociation for the purpose of putting an end (if possible) to the present ruinous hostilities between the PORTE and Russia, and that the Diplomatist intended to be employed will receive instructions to press in the most urgent way for a provisional armis tice, to commence at the earliest possible date. It is understood that this measure has been adopted either at the direct suggestion of the French Government, or at least has their cordial sanction and vigorous co-operation. " Three English Noblemen are mentioned, one of whom will, in all probability, be the person selected ; namely, Lord GRANVILLE, our late Ambassador at the Court of France ; Lord STRANGFORD, whose mission to Rio Janeiro is supposed to have terminated rather abruptly, as well as inauspiciously, but who has had the advantage of previous personal experience of Turkish diplomacy; and Lord STEWART DE ROTHESAY, our Ambassador at present at Paris. The last-named Nobleman is understood to be completely in possession of the views of the French Government on the subject in question ; and it is added, that if he should be selected for this important special mission, he will be the depositary of the joint instructions of the French and English Cabinets, whose views are in per fect accordance. " The frequent intercourse of the Prince DE POLIGNAC with the Duke of WELLINGTON is supposed (with great apparent probability at least) to have reference to this subject. " The intended Embassy will have no immediate connection with the Diplomatists by this time assembled in Naples, whose conferences are likely to be protracted to an advanced period of the spring, and will embrace a much wider range than that which forms the direct object of the Special Mission." The above may be true, and yet the French Papers say that NI. JAUBERT, the new Envoy from France to the Ottoman rorte, passed Bel grade, about the middle of last month, on his way to Constantinople. Now, if the English Ambassador is to represent both France and England, where is the necessity of M. JAUBERT proceeding to Constantinople? It maybe said that the English Ambassador is going on a Special Mission. What mission, then, is M. JAUBERT going upon, seeing that Count GULL LEMINOT is also accredited to the same Court ? We presume that time alone, the impartial solver of Cabinet secrets, will in due season- answer this question in the chapter of political events. With respect to the object of tile special mission, we think it highly probable ; because the cessation of hostilities in the East of Europe must be as dear to the Duke of WELLINGTON'S peace of mind as a settlement of the Catholic Question. In fact, we are apt to believe that he would prefer the one to the other, because having luckily escaped going to war in defence -r which were threatened through the submission of the Turks, he will now be doubly anxious to take credit to himself by set • tling the dispute, and so avert the necessity of taking up arms next campaign, should the Russians be more successful in their ambitious enterprise. The Duke has the reputation of being a lucky as well as a most skilful General, and the events of the last six months, notwithstanding his " untoward blockades," plainly indicate that he is a lucky Minister. How far the late corre spondence with respect to Ireland may bear him out in the tide of good luck, remains to be seen; but if his Grace could hear the " blessings" from the." Emerald " side of the water, we fear that "good luck to you ".would not be the bur den of the murmuring breezes from that un- lappy shore. The following are extracts from the Austrian Observer of the 29th December. They do not contain any thing deserving of particular notice, unless it be a contradiction of the report that the Hanoverian Leption at Rome had lately taken steps to lead to the conclusion of a concordat between the Holy See and Great Britain. This assertion was made in the Catholic Asso ciation ; but although nothing was known of it at Rome, yet there may be some truth in it, and good policy would dictate secrecy until the matter be accomplished:— ODESSA, DEC. 17. Our Journal announces the arrival of M. V Stourdza in this town. For some time past hardly any thing has been doing in the corn trade. Eleven rubles per chetwert have been offered for small parcels of wheat, but the owners have refused that price as too low. AUGSBURGH, JAN. 2. The Roman journal Notizie del Glom() quotes Mr. O'Connell's assertion, in the Catholic Association in Dublin, that the Hanoverian Legation has lately taken steps to lead to the conclusion of a concordat between the Holy See and Great Britain, on which it asserts that nothing is known at Rome of any such steps. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, DEC. 21. European couriers have lately brought to Bel grade letters from Constantinople of rather an old date, viz. to the 28th November. Prices had risen considerably, but tranquillity prevailed, and commer cial transactions had even become more active, on account of the speculations which the blockade rendered necessary. Yesterday the Pacha of Bel grade received, by Tartars, accounts from the capital to 7th December, with the very agreeable news for the Turks that a great number of vessels, with all kinds of provisions, had happily arrired at Con stantinople, by which the apprehensions of the con sequences of the blockade were again dispelled. The Ambassador of a great Power is said to have recommended to the subjects of his Sovereign the precautions which are absolutely necessary nnder the present circumstances, but to have been an swered by those who transact business with the Porte, that they would indeed punctually follow his orders, but that they were not able to break their contracts with the Porte, which are for nine months. VIENNA, Dac. 29.-51stalliques, 95i; Bank Shares, 1096 CORFU, DEC. 10. The /Bit', Capt. Johnstone, arrived here yester day, in four days from Navarin, with Sir P. Mal colm on board. The Wasp corvette, Captain W. Wellesley, in six days from Smyrna, and one from Zante, and the Hind cutter, Capt. Roff, arrived here' at the same time. The ;Sir F. Adam steam-boat sailed on the 7th for Brindisi, with Mr, Elphin stone, who arrived here on the 17th November, on board the Raleigh corvette, with dispatches. The steam-boat came back -this morning. Yesterday morning news was received of the loss l o r a Romish merchantman near Brindisi, which sail ed from this port on the Ist inst., for Ancona, and had several passengers on board, among whom were Lieut. Cumming, of the 88th Regiment, in garrison here, and Captain Minshull, of a Regiment of Infantry, stationed in Malta. It unhappily ap pears that all who were OR board perished. The Captain, Vianello, is blamed for not having taken in sufficient ballast. The Corfu Gazette of the 6th December says, " The latest accounts from Greece announce, that the three Ambassadors were going to leave Poros for Navarin, whence they were to go at the beginning of the month to Malta, and then to Naples, where they will pass the winter. The wish for a national Assembly having become very gene ral in Greece, the Government is said to have ap pointed a Commission to draw up a plan for the new elections. The corps of regular troops increases rapidly, and now amounts to 2,500 men. An expe dition against Candia is preparing, in which the well known Chadchi Christo is to command 1000 men; some cavalry is to accompany this expedition. C. Tombasi is appointed director of the affairs of that important island; It is said that tl , e troops under Ypsilanti, after they had driven the Turks from the environs of Salona, have compelled them to retreat into that fortress, where they are closely besieged. Mean while the troops under the Suliot Tsavella, and those under General Denzel, besiege another Turkish corps in Lidoriki. These corps after taking the above places, are to join General Church, whose troops are partly at Mitika and partly at Paradissi. The Greek flotilla is still master of the Gulf of Ambracia. Letters from the opposite continent say, that the Chiefs of Albania mid Epirus are assembled at Berat, to deliberate on the contents of a finnan, re ceived from the Porte, which, it is said, recommends them all to take up arms and provide by themselves fur the defence of their country. We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter received by the last mail from Rio de Ja neiro, dated the 21. th November, which will be found interesting. It is as follows : " You will ere this have seen the preliminary treaty of peace between this country and Buenos Ayres, which certainly reflects very little honour on Brazil, and the worst of it is that none of the ad vantages have followed which we had all a l ong fondly looked to as the immediate and necessary consequence of a cessation of hostilities. Our ex change has fallen, produce has :risen, the premium on specie has advanced, manufactured goods unsale able, and in fact the very reverse of what was ex pected has taken place_ in almost every instance ; and it is to he feared that things will not be better til decisive measure be adopted by the Go- II some vernment, to give a turn to the course of eventsl that have unfortunately taken. place. The gener..l opinion is, that this might be effected by lessening the amount of the paper in circulation, and Govern ment wishes to try the experiment of burning bank notes to the amount of 4,000 contas (500,0001. sterling), applying to this purpose the proceeds of a million of dollars that the Bank possesses, and rais ing the remainder of the money by the sale of po licies. Should the body of merchants, native as well as foreign, come forward and act cordially with the Government, the measure will be put into ope ration in the course of the week, and the most bene ficial consequences must be the result, as the with drawal from circulation of t large an amount of paper must tend to lower the premium on specie, and as a natural effect bring about the necessary and wishel-for advance in our rate of exchange. The packet is the bearer of a RoYal Charter, signed by the Emperor (the same having passed the Assem bly), granting to the house of Messrs. March, Bro thers, and other associates, the privilege of forming a Company in London for working gold and other mines in Brazil. The grant is of a very exten,ive nature, embracing the three great mining provinces of Matto Grosso, Goyaz, and Minas Gcraes. The duty is fixed at 101. per cent." By an advertisement inserted in our columns of to-day, we are rejoiced to find that the Anni versary of the Birth Of ROBERT BURNS, the bard who reached the highest pinnacle of his art, who touched every chord of the lyre with nearly equal effect, whose tenderness was equal to his fancy, and whose fancy was only surpassed by his searching powers of humour and sarcasm ; who, as a man, was the staunch asserter of in dependence—as a friend, was the spirit of warmth and generosity—as a patriot, was liberal and un compromising in principle—we are rejoiced, we repeat, to find that the Anniversary of the Birth of such a man, and such an author, is to be ce lebrated here by a public dinner on Thursday, the 29th inst. That there will be a full and fashionable attendance, not merely of Scotchmen, but of Englishmen also, we have not the slightest doubt, for who is there to whom the varied strains of BURNS are unknown, and to whom the arch Doric dialect of " Tam o' Shanter " is a mystery ? A late Biographer has observed; that their beauties can be appreciated only ty the I Scotch—this we altogether deny ; the language of natural feeling is universally intelligible, and the oaten pipe of BURNS has never failed to draw forth her most genuine and effective mo dulations. His songs have been invariably pa. pular in England, and even by our mort fasti dious critics, his "Tarn o' Shanter " has long been held forth as a matchless specimen or mingled humour and imagination. The honours due to such a man should be restricted to no particular clime. He is the countryman of all who have discernment enough to appreciate his genius, and as such, let his name b• pro nounced, and his memory toasted at the ensuing Festival.

The " Bohemian Brothers" having met with some success at the Argyll-rooms, it naturally follows in this great metropolis, where there are so many spirited and monied individuals, that any speculation answering with one would be followed up with competition by others. This is all fair, and with respect to the Troubadours we were certainly much gratified yesterday, at what may be called a private rehearsal of their vocal and instrumental powers, as set forth in the following programme : FIRST PA wr. Le Jardin de la France Le Met d'Amour Voici la Nuit Duet Variations for the Guitar Vois-tu cette Nacelle? Pourqoui me reveillez-vous? Le Troubadour de la Rance SECOND PA 11.1% La petite Minaudiere La Riteliere Entends-tu, Bere, , erette ? Duet Rondo for the Guitar Duet Encore un Mot Encore toujours Duet Le Gondolier The person who sang the solos, which were most applauded, has a very sweet and pleasing tenor voice, well suited for a room, but which would be quite lost in a theatre. The rondo for the guitar was encored, and the last trio (Le Gondolier) met with great applause. The guitar is a pretty and pleasing accompaniment to the voice, but as it is also only fit for a room, we think that the Trouba dours might give very great satisfaction at private parties, as well as by their performance at the Egyptian-hall afford a very agreeable hour's lounge. We wish them every success. AYOTHER ACCOUNT.--(YROX A CONISOMSZTIA.) An experimental exhibition was given by three individuals, their nom de guerre " Les Tro's Trou badours," unlike their four contemporaries, the "Bohemians" (alias llamburghers) and ci-decant " Cigar-ists," from the purlieus of Whitechapel. It is quite evident the first appellation is sufficiently ap plicable, their Gallic pronunciation at once identify ing their legitimate claim to the:distinction they have deemed it expedient to adopt. The principal singer possesses a sweet—a melodious voice, between a baritone and tenor, of tolerable compass, combined to exceeding good intonation and unexceptionable taste. The assistants (if we may so denominate the, other two) play into his hands very successfully, and the elder person of the three is no mean per former upon the Spanish guitar. We have been informed that one of these gentlemen is a very su perior performer upon no less than from six to seven different instruments. If this be sooth, our marvel is the greater, seeing that although the morning's performance contained that which may be esteemed much above the common, monotony was too evident. The relief, then, on exhibition of a solo upon any one •f the six or seven instruments in question, must have created a sensation of greater gratification to a mixed auditory. We observed a number of highly talented professional gentlemen present, who appre ciated that which was really estimable, which the longer eared portion of the assembly appeared to think was but " leather and prunella." Alas ! for poor John Bull—diminished sevenths and flat ninths are yet somewhat over chromatic for thy unsophisti cated olfacteries. For example, a vulgar common place rondo upon the guitar, in six-to-eight time, was honoured with an encore ! A beautiful com position, extremely well executed, scarcely elicited the slightest notice ! Such is the too-prevalent state of musical feeling of the metropolis of the Bri tish Empire, even in the 19th century. We have been much amused at the cast of a new opera at one of our national theatres. It more than confirms our previously-expressed opiniolis upon the present state of national opera—anent which, more anon. RIVAL TOPICS.-AN EXTRAVAGANZA. (From the Times.)

But small's the chance that Law affords,— Such folks are daily let off; And, 'twixt tit' Old Bailey and the Lords, THEY Baru, I fear, will get off. There was a very fashionable and numerou' audience at the Wolverhampton Theatre on Friday even ing, the attraction being the appearance of the " celebrated Amateur" in the character of Lord Ogleby, which he performed with complete success, and which drew forth the spontaneous applause of the house.— Wolverhampton Chronicle of 'Wednesday. The Editor of the Lancet, in noticing the late murders at Edinburgh, says—" We have ourselves, within a recent period, seen bodies brought into dissecting rooms in this metropolis, exhibiting none of the appear ances usually found in the bodies of persons who had died from disease, but with all the indications presented by the bodies of men who had died within a few boors, and in a state of perfect health. One bead in particular—subjects are now frequently sold piecemeal—attracted our attention, and that of other gentlemen present. It was the head of a perfectly fresh subject; nut the slightest indication of disease could be traced ; it was apparently the head of a man who had lived in health and vigour within a few hours. We could not learn from whence it was brought, nor how the man (from whose trunk it had been severed) had come by his death. He might possibly have expired suddenly from natural causes; he might have destroyed his own life; but the late horrible disclosures prove that be right also have been slaughtered for the price of his corpse." LAW INTELLIGENCII.--(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. ROBERTSON V. KENSINGTON. This was au action brought by a manufacturer in Perth, against the defendant, a commission-broker in London, for the recovery of 1,3001., being the value of 1,226 bags of coffee, which had been pledged with the latter for the advancement of a certain sum by an agent named Fennel, employed to sell the goods for the plaintiff, The defence set up was, that Robertson hod, at the time the goods were pledged, a running account with the agent Fennel (who afterwards became bankrupt), and that Robertson had known of the pledge, and consequently sanctioned it for a consi derable time, without giving notice to Kensington. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, subject however to the giving up the coffee—Damages 13001. TILE MARKETS.-(TIIIS DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

The Ductless of Kent, accompanied by the Princess Victoria, honoured the performance of " Charles the Twelfth " and the new Pantomime, at Drury-lane Theatre, on Thursday evening with her presence. A Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, which was attended by the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Lord Ellenborough, Mr. Secretary Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald. The Ministers Nat in deliberation till five o'clock. The Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Bexley, Mr. Secretary Peel, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had interviews with the Duke of Wellington yesterday, at the Treasury.

WL'ST INDIA DOCK COMPANY.--At the half-yearly meeting of this Company, held yesterday, the usual dividend of 5 per cent. for the last half-year, was de dared. But a report from the Directors was read, in which it was intimated, that in consequence of the increase to the dock accommodation of the port, and of the arrangement made between the East India Company and the East India Dock Company, the Directors were decidedly of opinion that it would be expedient to reduco the dividend at the next half-yearly meeting to the rate of 8 per cent, per annum. Yesterday an adjourned Petty Sessions was held at the workhouse of St. Andrew's parish, Holborn, at which the occupiers of Chambers in Lincoln's-Inn were summoned for the payment of the parish rates levied upon them, and from which they claim to be exempt, not having paid rates for many years; Colonel Jones in the Chair. Colonel Clitheroe, Mr. Beckett, and other Magistrates were present.—Mr. Brodrick applied, on behalf of the Benchers of Lincoln's-Inn, that the matter might be post poned, on account of the absence from town of so many members of the Society, and in order that the Benchers might have more time to inquire into their rights. After some discussion this was consented to.—Mr. Blackburne also asked for a similar indulgence on his part. This was consented to by the parish.

- THE *EST PORT =MARS. (Further particulars, from the CaledonianMercury.) A letter has, we understand, been received in town from the mother of the unfortunate girl called Paterson, murdered by Burke and his. associate Hare in the house of his brother Constantine, that immaculate scavenger, whom some of our contem poraries have been ill-advised enough to Attempt to whitewash. This unfortunate creature was, it seems, the companion of - a girl called Brown, who eras seduced into the house of the said scavenger, I Constantine Burke, along with her, but the latter becoming alarmed, drunk as she was, by certain loings of the gang, had sense and reason enough :eft to make her escape. For the ends of justice, however, we trust that Brown is still alive and kirthcom;ag. Her evidence may be of the very last mnoltance in the event of a private prosecutor ap ",earing, which, we have every reason to believe, will be the case. The unfortunate girl, called Pa terson, was originally placed here under the care of her grandmother, a woman of unexceptionable cha racter; but falling into bad company, she deserted the roof of her venerable protectress, and went upon the town. Latterly she had been frequently written to, but never returned any answer ; and the &tit tidings heard of her were, that she had fallen inn) the hands of these murderous ruffians, and that her body had been dissected on the table of an Ana tomist. Here, therefore, is another case where a private prosecutor can and ought to .come forward. With reference to the " Confessions of Burke," which appeared in our last, we deem it a bounden duty to correct a mistake into which we unwittingly fell.in reporting the conversation, as related to us, with the unhappy man who has so justly forfeited his life to the laws of his country. It was whilst Burke and not Hare, was in the country, that a mut , ler was perpetrated by the latter, who, apparently anxious to keep his hand in employment, commits ,d th e deed by himself, and received the undi .c rid e d price obtained for the body of his victim. Burke denies ever having used s, ..rgical instru ments in committing any of the .murders to which he has contested; no r does know, he says, how such instruments came to be in his house, as he never saw them. Vats unhappy man is labouring ander a disease t cancer) which must in a short time have pr ove d ' fatal, (loathed even if his life had not been dts to be the just sacrifice of his crimes. The -ase in question has been said by some of our contemporaries to have been occasioned by a lace ration inflicted by the teeth of poor Jamie in his death-struggle with his assassins. But this is a mistake. Burke has been labouring under the ma lady for nearly two years, and latterly became in con sequence so infirm, or at last so incapable of vio lent exertion, that he was obliged to devolve upon Hare the principal part in effecting the murders. Accordingly, in the more recent instances he gene rally grappled the victims by the throat, mouth, and nostrils, while Hare threw himself upon the body; and, in the case of Daft Jamie, it is now known that Hare began the struggle with the poor idiot, Whom Burke only assisted to finish when his dialle 4, onfrere was like to be overpowered. He mentions as a roof of the i n ti mac y su b s i st i ng ,b e t w i xt hi m and Paterson, that the latter had been accustomed for more than a year to dress the cancerous sore with which he is afflicted, It was in an apothecary's shop in the Southside that Burke first met the gentleman whom he after wards supplied with subjects. So ignorant was Hare and he, at first, of the proper quarter in which to offer a" new -made" subject for sale, that, when they had one, they went about among some Surgeon Apothecaries trying- to dispose of it; and failing altogether in finc6ng a market for the horrid com modity among this class, they would probably have abandoned the traffic altogether, had not accident, in the course of one of these nocturnal voyages of discovery, thrown Burke in the way of his future customer. After that the apothecaries were favoured `with no more visits, nor offers of an article, they did not require, and most certainly would not have received from these miscreants, even if they h atl• On these exploratory excursions, Billie and Hare seldom or never, we believe, went „... 111 company. We h ave b ear d an anec d ote o f ,mare at this time Which we think worth communicat mg, because we have reason to believe our informa tion authentic. The goul went into the shop of a gentleman in the southern part of the city, and, after som e preface, asked him if he wanted any thing ? What do you mean by any thing ?" " A body." Startled somewhat by the offer, the gentleman in question replied, " Where did you get it ?" " Never mind that," said Hare, " we know how to get as many as we want." At this stage of the con versation a country lad, dressed nearly in the cos tuole of a carter, entered the shop, and asked for s ome common medicine, which having got and paid for h e went away. Upon this Hare said, "If you wish e d to have that fellow, I could get him for you in an hour." The gentleman to whom this was addressed thought the miscreant insane, or that he bad been sent by some one to play off a coarse hoax Non him, and immediat e ly or d ere d hi m out o f t h e Noon THE WEST PORT MURDERS.—We under- St and that the investigation into the late criminal trans actions has been renewed, and is still continued with una bated industry.

There was a severe gale of wind in the Irish n bannel on Thursday last. Three large steamers and a n umber of other craft put into the Menai strait for shelter. 'North TVales Chronicle. Since the burial of Oades, Cashon, and Brien, , ho were executed here pursuant to their sentence at the Assizes, this neighbourhood has been visited by those n nfeeling wretches, now commonly designated body loateters. In the night of the Ist inst. several men were see n near Sprirgfield Church, who, it was suspected, in 'ended to obtain the bodies of the malefactors ; but they Were disturbed by the servants of a gentleman residing near, and is their retreat, as a proof of their calling, left n Poo a grave a new shovel. Last Monday night an at tempt was made to disinter' a body-in Broomfield Church- Yard; but here these nocturnal visiters were again re- Pulsed. On Wednesday night, however, they arpear to have been more successful in a second visit to Springfield. Although it has not been ascertained, it is surmised that th e body of one of the Irishmen was obtained. Not being ltequainted with the circumstance that the two were buried to th e same grave, a second was opened, which proved to 4e that of Williams, who was executed here for horse stealing, and whose remains had lain in the ground since 'August. Finding the body so much decomposed, these Wretches, determined to have some part, actually twisted the bead from the trunk, carrying away the former, which, no doubt, will prove acceptable to the Phrenological Sa eietY. who, we understand, are endeavouring to procure a collection of the heads of malefactors. Yesterday morn ing a most appalling spectacle presented itself in the church-yard : the mutilated trunk of Williams tay above greund,—the vultures had taken away the head. Not- Withstanding the horrible stench arising from the puzrid state of the body, many persons had the curiosity to wit ness the disgusting sight. It was, however, shortly after its discovery, again committeel to the earth. The friends of Oades took the moat effectual precaution to save his body : the coffin was crossed with timbers, so as' to, pre rent the possibility of its being raised or disturbed.— Che/msford Chronicle.

MEETING OF lIEMINOTON, STEPHEN- SON :04.3 CO. nEDIIOB.S. The first meeting of theCretlito'rs 4_,=; t ik itaaing Establishment took plai!e 'n!sierthiy at two o'clock, before the first 1M of Commissioners at The COmmissioners were Sir G. F. lid opson, John Turner, H. G. Sheppard, and J.B. Macauly Esquires. Mr. MoNTAGy appeared As Counsel on behalf of the estate. The rootn was crowded nearly to suffocation with most anxious faces, and yet a great number of debts were not proved. The pressure and confusion were so great that those who proved could not get retiring room for a considerable length of time, so that the Creditors behind could force their way to the table where the Commissioners sat but very slowly. Mr. ROOTS appeared on behalf of Mr. Fructuoso, to submit a claim against the separate estate of Mr. Rowland Stephenson. His client had lent to Ste phenson 6,0001., for which he had received and held HS a security three bonds for 2,0001., each, drawn by one John Owen in favour of the bankrupt. Besides this, he claimed to prove for 8,0001. the value of ! . 2.50 pipes of wine soli to the bankrupt. The proposition of tke Learned Counsel was, that his client should be allowed to prove against the separate estate, giving up the bonds to the solicitors wader the Commission, who were the most compe tent to enforce payment of them, taking a dividend on the 8,000?. and half of that which could be pro duced by the bonds. Mr. MONTAGU inquired if notice had been given to Mr. Owen Mr. RooTs said no notice had been given. Mr. MosTAGu was then 'of opinion that Mr. Roots's client was- not entitled to prove for a far thing ;n respect of the bonds, and that he would have to give them up. Mr. ROOTS contended thaebno notice to the ob ligor was necessary. On reference to authorities it was agreed that no notice was necessary, and therefore the proof for wine sold and money lent was admitted, Mr. F. hav ing given up the bonds. Mr. ROOTS applied to prove another debt of 51,0001. on behalf of the same gentleman. He named 51,000/., because, until the Commissioners as sented to receive the proposed method of proving, he could not state the amount more exactly, inasmuch as the amount would in some measure depend upon their decision in receiving the proof.— The bankrupts were employed by his client to pur chase for him Foreign Securities, consisting of Mexican, Columbian, Brazilian, and Chilian Bowls, to the amount of 51,000/. The securities to this amount were purchased by them, and remained in their possession ; they never were in the possession of Mr. Fructuoso, with the exception of 7000/. which was deposited with them by him. His bankers had rendered an account of them to him, and cre dited him with the amount upon them; and the ques tion was, whether he was entitled to prove against he cstate for the actual value of the bonds A the time when they were purchased, or for their actual value at the time when Mr. Fructuoso demanded payment of the bonds. Mr. Fructuoso having been alarmed, made a demand upon the bankrupts for the delivering up of the bonds before the stoppage of the house, but that demand was not complied with; and those very bonds were part of what the Learned Counsel called the absconding property. Mr. F. sought to prove against the joint estate for the amount of what the bonds were worth at the time they were purchased. Mr. MONTAGU enquired if Mr. Roots had a list of the securities. Mr. ROOTS replied that such list had been deli vered in some time ago. Mr. MONTAGU was willing to admit a proof to the amount of the value of the bonds on the day when the demand for the bonds was made. The bonds had been received by Stephenson, and his co-partners had not received any value in respect of them, therefore they were not to be charged except with the amount as he had before stated. Mr. ROOTS contended that his client was entitled to prove for the value of the bonds at the time they were purchased and deposited. Mr. F. had never seen the great mass of the bonds ; he did not know _whether they had been abstracted in 1826, 1827, or 1828 ; and supposing them to have been much more valuable in 1826 than in 1827, and to have been abstracted in 1826, he thought it would be an extremely hard thing upon his client to be compelled to lose adividend on the difference of the value. After a few further observations, which were in audible, Mr. Roots handed a paper to Mr. Montagu, containing his client's calculation of the sum he sought to prove. Mr. Montagu consulted with the solicitors and those of the bankrupts who were present, namely, Mr. Remington, sen. Mr. Remington, jun. and Mr. Toulusin, and then it was declared that the proof according to such statement should be admitted. Among the other creditors who proved were— Mr. James Ramsbottotn, brewer in Windsor, for... £515 Mr. Richard Heath&ld, as assignee to a bankrupt named Hawkes Messrs. Bevington and Co 1045 Ditto ditto 271 Messrs. Strachan and Co. Sir H. Butt ..... Mr. M. Levyson Mr. C. Pratt Mr. J. Y. Turner Mr. A. Murray 2050 Mr. J. Elkins 212 Messrs. Reece and Stephenson Mr. B. Johnson Mr. L. Thornton Mr. M. Smith 602 480 1033 There were other creditors of course, whose names and amount of debts we did not catch. There vas probably debts to from 100,0001. to 120,0001. proved in , the whole. The meeting broke up at half-past three. MR. ROWLAND STEPHENSON. The following letter, which appeared in an Even ing Cotemporary of last night, details the phrenzied language and behaviour of Stephenson, a few hours before his flight from the Metropolis, while under fears of being apprehended and brought to justice. It is a singular epistle. The writer, Mr. Welsh, is a singer by profession, and Proprietor of the Argyll Rooms : TO THE EDITOR. Ar t iyll Rooms, Regent-street, 9th Jan. 1829. Ste,—My name hsving-been mentioned as the indivi dual who accompanied Mr. Rowland Stephenson from Lon don on Saturday morning, the 27th ult., I feel myself bound to admit the accuracy of the assertion, and to sub mit, through your Paper, the following statement : but, in the first instance, I am most anxious to show that a long intimacy and friendship have subsisted between Mr. Ste phenson and myself, and to instance some of the proofs of friendship which he has given me, and the deep obligations under which he has laid me. In consequence of partner ship differences, I apprehended a run of my creditors upon my establishment, and communicated my apprehensions to Mr. Stephenson, who immediately removed my Uneasiness by desiring me, if necessary, to draw upon him to the amount of 10,0001. In another emergency he became guare.ntee for me, and remains so, fur the payment of no less a sum than 9,0001. Many other proofs of the most disinterested friendship I could produce, but the two I have mentioned will be quite sufficient to show the dept of gratitude I owed him. Such a benefactor was Mr. Stephenson, who, on a sudden, so licited my protection im Friday the 26th of December, at half-past five in the afternson. He assured me that a circumstance had occurred which rendered it impossible for him again to return to Lombard -street, for he had used some property of the house during the late run, which, in OLIO fortnight after the payment of the dividends, he could have replaced, but the discovery of his having so used it having taken place at the F.anking-house at eleven o'clock that morning, be had not fortitude to bear the interroga tions to which lie should b e su bj ec t e d. H e had therefore quitted Lombard-street, and if I wished to preserve his life I should afford him a shelter under my roof. I endeavoured to persuade him to allow me to send for his part ners, saying, that it would be to their own advan tage to replace the Property so used, gad I made , . .1:to doubt but they ini, 4 ltt sgitit, be rriemts. He said, " ra thee than see either of then, he would blow his brains out m'y parlour," and inirnedi.itely (hew from his pocket a brace of pistols. lie then toll me that he had already at temped suicide in a pawnbroker's shop in Queen-street, Chatipside, but that the pistols lid miSSed fire. I used every effu:.t to divert fr6m hoClible a purpose, and . . to calm hi!! which lat length ►ucceeded. After a great deal '•f persuasion, he permitted me to send nir his eldest son, and the interview between them being over, I proposed that he should return to his house at Sr. Bar tholomew's Hospital, and abide the consequences of the discovery. Having with much difficulty overcome his scruples to this measure, I said I would send for a coach to convey us, when he put his hand into his pocket, say ing, "I cannot pay for One ; as I have but -6d. in the I directly Went up stairs to borrow Mrs. Welsh's purse. We (Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Horner, of the Colosseum, and myself) then set out and reached the Hospital. Unfor tunately, however, Mr. Lloyd entered the room; and told us that the attempt Mr. S. had made upon his life in Queen street was known to his partners, and that they were ransacking the drawers. This communication led Mr. Stephenson to abandon at once his former resolution, and to determine upon immediate flight. But be exclaimed " that he had no money." His eldest eon instantly emptied his pockets for his father's service. Mr. Stephen son burst into tears, and rejected the offer, saying he could not use his son's pittance. Mr. Lloyd then said, " I have money, Sir; I have eight Imadred pounds." " Then we will both go," replied Mr. Stephenson. He ordered a few clothes to be got ready, and his carriage, saying he would ge one stage with his own horses. He requested me to accompany him a few miles, that be might, when Lis mind was more collected, give me directions respect• ing his .children. - I consented, and Bristol was the road he determined to take. On my proposing to quit him at Hounslow, he ordered the coachman to proceed to Staines with the same horses, and on the road requested of me, in the name of the mutual and long friendship that bad subsisted between us, to give him one and the last proof of it, and to accompany him until he was on board some vessel. I could not refuse, and we arrived at Pill at nine o'clock on Saturday night, and bad an interview with the Captain of a pilot-yacht, when I recommended• that the boat should be hired for one month, at two guineas a-day,, the terms proposed by the pilot. Mr. Stephenson said, he thought it would be throwing money away unnecessarily, for no doubt they would meet a vessel bound to America within a fortnight. I advised them, when they were at sea, to disclose to the Captain the necessity of their going to America, and if he would take them he should be amply remunerated. Mr. Stephenson asked me, in great distress of mind, where the money -was to come from—they had but 8001. On Sunday morning, at half-past seven o'clock, they went on board. I returned to London, and was in Re gent-street at seven on Monday morning—nor have I, as erroneously stated in some of the papers, returned to Mr. Stephensa, or had any letter or communication since, directly or indirectly, from either of the parties. Such is the statement which I beg, through your Paper, to submit to the public. I was totally ignorant when I accompanied Mr. Stephenson of the extent of his embar rassment, or the embarrassments in which he had involved others. I listened only to the dictates of gratitude, which impelled me to render all the service—the only one I was ever able to render him—to the man who had been so long my friend and so often my benefactor. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOS. WELSH. P. S. Since writing this letter, I have seen it stated that my deposition before the Commissioners was voluntarily made. I therefore enclose the summons for you to see that I was compelled to speak the truth under my oath, which, even for friendship, I would not violate. " By virtue of the King's Majesty's Commission under the Great Seal of Great lAritain, granted upon the statute made concerning Bankrupts, awarded against Wil liam Remington, Rowland Stephenson, David Ro bert Remington ) and Joseph Petty Toultnin, of Lombard-street, in the City of London, Bankers and Co., partners, carrying on trade under the firm of Remington, Stephenson, Remington, and Toultnin, directed to us, the major part of the Commissioners therein named, who have hereunto set our names, and to others. These are to will and require you, and every of you, to whom this our Warrant is directed, personally to be and appear before the major part of the said Commissioners, on to .morrow, Tueszlay, the 6th day of Jan. inst., at half-past two of the o'clock in the afternoon precisely, at No. 32, Southampton buildings, Chancery-lane, London—then and there to be examined by the major part of the Commissioners, by Virtue of the said Commission, and the Statute therein mentioned. And hereof you are not to fail at your peril. " Given under our hands this 3th of January, 1829. " JOHN TURNER. " G. F. HAMPSON. " J. B. MACAULY. " To Mr. Thos. Welch." ROW LAND STEPHENSON.—At a late hour last night, Ellis, one of the principal officers of Bow street, arrived in town from the Western coast, where he had been despatched with Ledbitter on Sunday last, in pursuit of the above-named offender. He immediately pro ceeded to the residence of Sir Richard Birnie, with whom he had a long interview in private. The lateness of the hour precludes us from stating several interesting facts which have come to our knowledge respecting the flight of Stephenson, and the means which he has hitherto adopted to elude the pursuit of justice. Thus far, however, may be depended upon, that although when Ellis left the coast the culprit was not actually in custody, the expectation of his ultimate capture continued undiminished. We can also state, upon the best authority, that, in contradiction to the appearance of poverty which Stephenson exhibited when he finally determined upon flight, as contained in a letter from a highly respectable individual, which appeared in the evening papers of yesterday, so far from his being in want of a miserable' sixpence, he was well I.4clen with specie when, in company with his accomplice Lloyd, he arrived. at Bristol ow Saturday evening, Dec. 27.—Indeed, when it is considered that Stephenson posseseal himself of considerable funds immediately prior to his flight, by parting with Exchequer bills and other property intrusted to the safe keeping of himself and partners, the notion of his utter destitution can in no way be credited, and must have been put on for the purpose of deceiving Mr. Welsh, and through him the public. Ellis, after his conference with the Chief Magistrate, was directed to proceed in the morn ing by another route, to a distant part of the coast, from which circumstance it is obvious that Stephenson's escape is almost impossible. The following is copied from an Evening Paper Affidavits of naval officers for half-pay are to contain a declaration that they do not hold any civil ap pointment, er that such appointment was given prior to the let of January, 1829. Naval and military officers, it is said, will be appointed to situations in public depart ments which may become vacant, as a saving will thereby be made of their half-pay." Nothing is more proper than frugality. We verily believe, that if the Duke of Wel lington were incapable of any other duty as a Minister-- if he could neither speak nor write, but could save the nation's money—could curb extravagance and check impu dent pretensions to the public purse—he would be a most popular and (which is wore) a highly useful Minister. To be sure, the above-mentioned system may produce an odd adaptation of parts; and we should think, in the dis tribution, the navy half-pay officers could hardly come so often into play as those of the army. For example, if the situation of " necessary-woman" at Windsor still exist, and should become vacant, a hard-favoured, weather beaten, bald-headed old Lieutenant, would be a curious remplacant. We recollect when King William was told that Dean Swift was a very clever fellow, and had done great service to his Majesty, the King replied, " Very well, then ! I'll give him a company of light horse." All King William's ideas were military. Frugality is, how ever, nn excellent thing, though it is not all in all. Des potic Governments are sometimes less extortionate, and consequently more frugal, than those which are called con stitutional.— Times. On Thursday last the Portuguese depot at Plymouth was dissolved. On and from Wednesday all military pay ceased to such as had the inclination and power to choose between a trip to Brazil, and snug quarters in England. Of course all the regular soldiers were com pelled to embark, but the volunteers and old officers in great numbers have preferred the chance of present quiet in England.—Dorset County Chronicle. EXHUMATION OF A CHILD..—On the morning of Thursday last, a very strong sensation was excited in the minds of the inhabitants of Whitkiik, near this town, by the discovery that. the body of a child of the name of Ileesoi, whose parents reside at that place, and which had been interred the preceding day, was conveyed away during the night. The perpetrators of this outrage, after having violated the sanctuary of the dead, had not even endeavoured to screen their crime from the servivors by re-filling the grave, - and left the coffin, bereft of its in mate, in a lane adjoining the church-yard, the burial clothes being strewed about in various directions. The con sequence was, that the mother fell into fits as soon as the discovery was made, and has been extremely ill ever since. A reward of 101. has been offered for the apprehension of the resurrection men and the discovery of the body...— Leeds Intelligencer. k , oitTING INTELLIGENCE. FIGHT BETWEEN WINTERFLOOD AND WALKER FOR 101. A-SIDE. A second fight was tii have taken pike in the ihig at Nether Broughton, on Tuesday last, between Wintettlerel and Walker, two of the Nottinghamshire fancy, for 101, a -shift and a purse, but owing to the late hour on which Wileockson and Randall terminated their conflict, it was found necessary to defer the turn up to tome future time. The parties, after the fight, repaired immediately to Not ' tingham, and a meeting of the pugilists took place at Clark's, the Bell Inn, in the Market-place, and it was agreed that Winterflood and Walker's fight should come off, within a mile or two of Nottingham ; and accordingly the stakes were _pitched on a good meadow, a short distance from the town, on Thursday last. Winterflood, who is a raw-boned twelVe stone eight young fellow, etitered the ring with young Gas, who seconded him, and Walker, a bouncing confident cove, weighing 12 stone 10, was seconded by his friends. Winterflood was the favourite, and the betting was 8 to 1 in his favour. They fought eleven slashing rounds, wholly uninteresting with regard to science, of which but little was displayed on either side—when Walker received such a tremendous beating, that it was deemed expedient to take him away, and the stakes were handed over to Win terflood. Walker having fought bravely was rewarded by a purse collected for him on the spot. A Lincolnshire lad, who is persuaded he can do some thing in the milling way, has sent a challenge to Josh Hudson's Black, inviting him to Grantham, where he resides, in order to arrange matters.

THE COTTON TRADE.—It appears, from the annual returns, of the brokers, that the stock of cotton in this port, at the close of the past year, was 295,470 bags. The deficiency in American, as compared with the stock at the end of the previous year, is 69,000 bags; but in Brazil there is an increase of 13,000. In prices, also, there is a corresponding difference, American being id. per lb. higher for all descriptions except New Orleans, while there is a reduction to the same amount in Brazil.— Liverpool Courier. As two farmers of the neighbourhood were proceeding home from Boston one evening last week, they heard a noise from a pasture adjoining the road, which induced them to suppose that some one was en gaged in slaughtering sheep. They resolutely proceeded to the spot, and there they found a huge dog worrying the sheep in a most voracious manner. They seised the offending cur, but afterwards allowed it liberty to proceed to its home, following its track : by this method they discovered that it belonged to a tradesman of Boston, who, on being much acquainted with the dog's propen sity, ordered it to be immediately destroyed. It was a very fierce and terrific animal, apparently partaking of th• wolf species, and most probably this was not the first time of its satisfying its voracity by worrying sheep.— Stamford Mercury. Nottingham Sessions commence taext week, for the county on Monday, for the town on Wednesday. The number of prisoners is greater than has been known for many years, and the Assize calendar begins to increase rather alarmingly. Sheep-stealing still continues in the neigh bourhood of Long Sutton to a very serious extent : the farmers have already lost above three hundred sheep within eighteen months, (many of them worth 30s. to 60s. a-head,) and as no decisive step has yet been taken to put a stop to such a ruinous practice, there is reason to fear that as many more will be gone before a similar period expires. Great apathy prevails amongst those who should unite to guard their property: the nightly patrol established in the neigh-. bourhood of Boston, and at CroNvland, has effectually put down the evil before felt there. The works at Sutton Wash being for a time suspended, there is reason to fear that many of the excavators who have been suddenly deprived of labour will not so easily be deprived of subsistence, and that mutton will (for the present at least) be their favourite (lA._ Stamford Mercury. 4uttimpoßovall.

Stu,—The whole of the fund supplied last year by a gene:4)ns public for the relief of the unfortunate liUrp,:cisseS and inhabitants of this place, having been expended in their support, And the same oppressive measures being dealt out to them by the Corporate Officers, and still preventing them from pursuing their accustomed employment unless they will sign away their property and birthright, the Committee met this day to audit the several accounts, and con sider of the present starving condition of nearly the whole of the burgesses and inhabitants, and, if pos sible, to devise seine means of permanent relief; and, as they have lately received several sums from humane individuals for the supply of the im mediate wants of the parties, they have determined to con tinue their duties in the receipt and application of any further sums whieh may. be entrusted to their • care by the liberality of a British public; and they intend to take the earliest opportunity of calling the attention of the subscribers and the public at largo to a full consideration of the facts. _ I trust, Sir, that your well-known wish that right should have right, will induce you to make the above public, by means of your deservedly extended circu lation, and that those who (by the influence you upon the former occasion so humanely exercised towards the suffering burgesses) before subscribed, may see that their labour and charity have not been in vain.--I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN CAPEL, Chairman of the Committee. , Queen-street-place, Southwark-bridge, Jan. S. --- AGGRAVATED CASE OF RAPE. DUBLIN, JAN. 7.—Bernard. Reilly, Thomas M'Dermott, Catherine Goodin, and Catherine 112'Cormick, were placed at the bar, and arraigned upon three indictments. The first harged that the prisoners, on the 17th Dee. last, assaulted Margaret Jameson, and the prisoner Bernard Reilly committed an assault upon her, and that the other three pri soners aided and assisted him in the commission of that offence. A second indictment charged the pri soner Thomas M'Dermott with having also com mitted an assault upon Margaret Jameson, and that the other prisoners aided and assisted him therein ; and in a third indictment all the prisoners were charged with the robbery of a gray cloak, of the value of 15s. the.property of said Margaret Jameson. Margaret Jameson, an interesting-looking young girl, was examined by Mr. Greene—ls not married. Her father and mother are dead. Lived at Mrs. M'Auley's, in Meeting House-yard, No. 7. Re sided there when she was attacked in the Phoenix Park, about three weeks back. Was going to Chapelizod about one o'clock in the day. The sole of her shoe was broken on account of the wet, arid she went the grass (shortest) way. Remembers the Wellington Testimonial. (The witness became much affected.) About a quarter of a mile beyond it, she met four persons, two men and two women. They were coming towards Dublin. Would know them all. (Here she identified the four prisoners, and deposed that they were the four persons she met about one o'clock on the day stated.) Did not know them before. The two men accosted her when they came up. Is ashamed to mention their expressions. COURT—The prisoners are on their trials for their lives, and you must state what they said. Witness (the prosecutrix) here reluctantly re peated the expressions used towards her by Reilly, which we must omit on account of their gross inde cency ; he took hold of her and dragged her along the road into the Park, near which she was walking. The two female prisoners went on a little way.— Witness began to cry, and said she would go with the women. The prisoner Catherine Goodin said, " What harm would it do her to go with Reilly ?" He then knocked her down. She did nut go wil lingly with him.—(Here the witness burst into tears. On being encouraged to proceed, she did so very reluctantly.)--She resisted, and was coming on, when he caught her a second time.—(A thrill of horror ran through the Court, which seemed to be greatly excited, owing to the artless and reluctant manner in which the unfortunate - prosecutrix gave her testimony.)—Witness resisted Reilly as much as she possibly could, but he was too strong for her. After he accomplished his purpose, he brought her to where the two female prisoners were waiting.— The prisoner M'Dermott afterwards joined them.— She observed him coming up with fire. Reilly began to laugh at her, and said, " No." When M'Dermott came up, lie asked Reilly " was he after doing what he ought to do ?" The prisoner Catherine M'Cormick said to Reilly, --- your soul, you are no good !" Reilly was telling her and M'Dermott what he had done.— (The remainder of the conversation is of too disgusting a nature to meet the public eye.) The prisoner Reilly asked her where she got the good cloak she wore, and asked had she any money ; witness said she had not, which was the truth. The prisoner M'Dermott said she had a good cloak, and asked her would she give it, or would she not. Wit ness said she would die with the cold if she gave it. He said the "Devil die with you !" and said she should give it. The prisoner Catherine Goodin WHS standing near her. The neck of her cloak was loose. Witness took it off her shoulder against her will. She gave it in dread of her life, being appre hensive she would be killed on the spot if she re fused. The prisoner M‘Dermott said to Catherine Goodin, had not he better go now, and use her as Reilly did ? The prisoner Catherine Goodin en couraged him to- do so. The man at the bar, M'Dermott, then came to her and desired her to get up. She refused. He took a hold of her and made her get up against her will. He brought her to some briers and knocked her down. Witness began to cry. He continued his assault. Catherine Goodin remained at the fire all the time the prisoner M`Dermott was with witness ; she saw the entire transaction, She did not interfere, but she was looking on.— (Here the unfortunate prosecutrix was deeply af fected, and sobbed most piteously.)—M'Dermott brought her to the fire. The prisoners kept her there, and would not let her go away. They were threatening her life all the time. They at length said, " That as they got all theii ends of her, they would leave her there." They rose up to come into town. Witness followed at a distance with intent to get them taken. She kept them in sight. Came up to them coming into Barrack-street. The pri soners Reilly and Al‘Dermott` were apprehended about half-past two o'clock on the same day, by a peace-officer. Witness thinks she is about 16 or 17 ears old. Does not know where her father and mo ther lived, because she is a foundling (this circum stance excited great sensation in the Court.) The prisoners marched her along for about half a mile as a prisoner. She got afraid, and called out, " Oh ! father, father, where are you now ?" The old prisoner, " M'Dermott, then said, "Oh ! the devil father you !" Reilly dragged her by the shoulder a quarter of a mile, when she thought to go with the girls. He tore her clothes. She got away a couple of steps from him, he over took her, and gripped her. (The unfortunate pro secutrix here again, but with great pain and reluc tance, fully detailed the manner in which the ruffian treated her, which, of coarse, we cannot describe.) She never offered to make tip the prosecution. COURT—Did you ever see the prisoner before ? Witness—Never ; there was no person present or near her when the transaction took place but the prisoners; the place she was abused in was among the trees in the Park, in a little wood. While Reilly was abusing her, the other prisoners were nearer to her than the clock of the Court-house is to her now. They were within view, - of her and Reilly all the time. They were walking up and down, and did not interfere. She asked the women (the female prisoners) " Would they let her , be killed ?" They said, " The devil a fear of you." The Jury retired for a short time, and brought_ in a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. The Court shOrtii afterwards adjourned to this morning. SPIRIT OP 11lg LONDON JOURNALS. A pamphlet, upon the Catholic Question, which' it is understood is written by Mr. Blake, the Remembrancer of the Irish Court of Exche quer, has been just published. Mr. Blake is the only Roman Catholic who holds an office of im portant trust in Ireland. His duties correspond with those of a Master in Chancery, and lic stands high in the order of judicial precedence. - He has been employed, with the sanction of Mr. Peel, as a Commissioner of Inquiry into the state of education in Ireland. We mention these circumstances because the claims of the Roman Catholics have hitherto been discussed by members of their own body, who, frOm their separation from the State, have been, not unna turally perhaps, addicted to that violence which has been of prejudice to their cause. We have rea3 Mr. Blake's pamphlet with the greater cu riosity, because it is not the production of re dealer in harangues and a trafficker in excitation, but of a man connected with the State by his official relations, and who is well known to have been in habits of intimate intercourse with Lord Wellesley, and to hare imbibed his opinions.— The tone of the book is certainly far more sub dued than the turbulent eloquence of Mr. O'Connell, and the vituperative rhetoric of Mr. Shell ; but it must be owned (and we think that it does Mr. Blake credit), dist the placeman does not predominate over the Irish Catholic, and although he abstains from the use of politically-exasperating and personally-offensive expressions, vet he does not hesitate to declare a strong sense of the wrongs which that community, of which he is a favoured member, still endures. Mr. Blake be gins by stating that a recent revolution has taken place in Ireland, and relics upon the great in crease of property and intelligence in the Catho lic body. He adduces evidence to show that land to the amount of 1,000,0001. has passed within a short period from the bands of Pro testants into those of Roman Catholics. We should observe that Mr. Blake, as Remain braneer of the Court of Exchequer, has peculiar opportunities of noting the gradual change and modification of property in Ireland. He states that 30 years ago, there were only ten Catholics who held Bank stock each to the amount of 2,0001., and that there are 80 now. The pro vincial Bank of Ireland, he says, though directed by Protestants, have been obliged to employ local Catholic directors. Mr. Blake then proceeds to point out the progress of intelligence in the Ca tholic body. As Commissioner of Education, employed under Lord Liverpool's Administra tion, the subject was peculiarly brought uncles his consideration. He says, that in 1811, in a certain class of schools, there were educated 55,000 Protestants, and 145,000 Catholics; nt 1824 there were educated -in the same class of schools 81,060 Protestants, and 319,288 Ca" tholics. He passes from the . progress of intelli gence in the lower orders to its advancement among the higher, and we are informed by him, that for three years before Michaelmas term 1797, 'there were called to the bar 89 Pro testants and 11 Catholics, and during the three years which ended in Michaelmas term last, there were called 68 Protestants and 29 Catholics ;—thus the Protestants fell off one-fourth, and the Catholics nearly trebled. Having proved the change in the cir cumstances of the Catholics, Mr. Blake inquires whether the law is to be adapted to the state of the country, or the state of the country is to be re-adapted to the law ; in other words, are the penal laws to be re-enacted, or are they to be repealed ? for to this practical dilemma Ireland has arrived. Mr. Blake proceeds to point out the facility with which a settlement of the ques tion might be effected upon the plan suggested in Mr. Pitt's letter. He adds, " the Catholic College of Maynooth is, by its constitution, sub jected both to the superintendence and controul of the State, and the machinery established there might without difficulty be made the means of securing to the Government every object with, respect to the Clergy at large which it would probably desire." In support of this position, Mr. Blake quotes a suggestion in a letter from the late Lord Londonderry. He is a decided advocate for securities, the nature of which he points out, as well as the readiness with which they could be moulded into the Catholic church of Ireland. Mr. Blake takes a rapid review of the state of religious peace upon the Continent, and quotes the 16th article of the federative con stitution established by the Congress at Vienna, which provides " that the different Christian sects in the countries and territories of the Ger man confederacy shall not experience any diffe rence in the enjoyment of civil and political rigl its." He then expatiates upon what he considers a much more important example than any which can be drawn from a foreign State. He appeals to the condition of Canada, in which Catho lics and Protestants live in perfect harmony, and quotes the evidence of Mr. John Neilson, a Protestant, given before the Committee of the .House of Commons :—" Amongst the body of the people (says Mr. Neilson) no man asks whether his neighbour is a Protestant or a Ca tholic. There are Catholics and Protestants in the same family and neighbourhood, and all living in perfect harmony. In truth, no coun try was ever more exempt from religious animo sities than Lower Canada has generally been dur ing the thirty-seven years I have resided there." Mr. Blake adduces further testimony to prove the attachment of the Catholic clergy of Canada to the British connection, and justly observes, that the adoption of a similar system in Ireland would produce corresponding results. Mr. Blake passes from the consideration of the state of Canada to illustrate the evils of governing upon the principles of exclusion, which he draws from the condition of the South American colo nies of Spain. He quotes a very remarkable passage from Ward's Mexico, " It was a fa vourite maxim that while a Mondego mule or a Castilian cobbler remained in the peninsula, he had a right to govern the Americans. These Sentiments were re-echoed by all the Europeans both io the capital and in the principal towns of the interior ; they every where formed patriotic associations for the defence of what they termed their lights, and armed themselves against the na tives, whose spirit these very precautions contri buted to Arouse." The patriotic associations 'of South America formed hy the Spaniards to main tain their Monopoly, and to keep down the na tives, have :many features of resemblance with those clubs, of which the patriotic Beres fords are the - residents, and the pious Hor ners are the chaplains, in Ireland. Mr. Blake adds, that when Lord Wellesley was ambassador in Spain, he recommended that the natives of South America should be equally eligible to office, and equally entitled to sit in the Cortes. Upon these terms the South Americans were willing . to submit, but Spain would not concede, and her colonies were lost for ever. Mr. 13Iake next introduces a fiscal view of Catholic

t4pation, and quotes a most remarkable passage front a paper written by the Earl of Shannon in 1747, who was one of the Lords Justices of Ireland, and as such in the government for up wards of 26 years. Lord Shannon states as the principal reason whs Ireland produced so little, that the law discouraged the labour and in dustry of the Roman Catholics, though threes fourths of the arts, industry, and labour c,f the country must necessarily he carried on by their hands." He adds, " Until some happy temper be fallen upon, so as to make our apprehension froln the Papists consist with our interest in employing them, Ireland can advance but slowly in improvement," Mr. Blake, after adducing this valuable authority, goes into his proofs, and shows that in the same measure in which the Catholics were oppressed, Ireland became im poverished ; and that her opulence and her li berty have kept pace with each othe . r. In the reign of Queen Anne the penal code was en acted. In 1779, the first Act was passed for the relief of the Roman Catholics ; the last, in 1793. " Let the reader," says M. Blake, " mark the progres of the revenue under the ancient policy and under the modern.-- The revenue of England, in 1701, when Wil liam died, amounted to 3,895,2051. The pre cise amount of the revenue of Scotland at that time I have not ascertained : but just before the Union, it amounted to about 110,0001. i year. The revenue of Great Britain in 1701 may there fore be stated at 4,000,000/. ; the revenue of Ire land, in the same year, amounted to 697,955/. In 1779, th revenue of Great Britain amounted to 11,/91,241/. ; that of Ireland, to 666,5001. In 1753, the revenue of Great Britain amounted to 17,674,255/. ; that of Ireland to 1,067,0001. In the last year the revenue of Great Britain I amounted to 46,085,386/. ; the revenue of Ire - land to 3;495,6891. British, • being neraly 3,800,000/. Thus we find that between 1701 and 1799 the revenue of Ireland diminished, while the revenue of Great Britain nearly tre bled ; that between 1779 and 1793 the revenue • of Ireland increased by about one-half, and that the revenue of England did the same ; that be tween 1793 and 1828 the revenue of Ireland nearly quadrupled, while that of Great Britain nearly trebled." "It is not in revenue only that England has suffered from the laws against the Catholics, or benefited from the relaxa tion which has taken place in them. Her trade has felt what it is to restrict and what it is to encourage the energies of Ire land. In 1793 the exports of Ireland to Great Britain amounted to 2,284,9201. ; her im ports of British manufactures to 1,055,226/. In 1825, the latest year for which I have been able to obtain the account, her exports to Great Britain amounted to 6,544,573/. ; her iMport of British manufacture to 3,837,336/. — Thus it appears that the amount of British ma nufactures consumed in Ireland has nearly Fuadrupled, as well as the rev e nu e , s i nc e 1793." rom these facts Mr. Blake reasonably argues, that as Ireland has advanced in financial prospe rity in proportion to the relaiation of the penal code, its utter abolition will be attended with ef fects as important to the wealth as to the peace and happiness of the country. He concludes, after giving a prospectus of the Irish revenue, with the following wise adMonition " While I offer this table to Protest - ants, to show the increasing prosperity of the Catholics, and how the empire benefits by it, I beseech the attention of Catholics to the further evidence it affords of the be nefits they derive from British Government and British connexion. Under that Government they are protected in every peaceful pursuit;_ under it their industry is fostered; at its scat the fruit of that industry finds a ready sale : they should; therefore, regard it as a possession to be improved by emanci pation, but as much too precious for any improve ment to be sought in it by any means which could bring the general fabric into danger. They should ever remember, too, the condact of English Protest ants in 1822, when thousands of Irish Catholics were saved from famine by their generosity : they should also bear in mind, that the prejudice which has hitherto been opposed to them has been of late rapidly declining; that it is not more complained of by them, than condemned by a vast portion of their Protestant fellow-subjects ; that in the great body of those in whom it still exists, it is to be found in company with many virtues; and that it would soon be extinguished if Catholics would seek to pro pitiate these, and not strengthen it by indiscretion or tatemperance."—Times. , The Glasgow Free Press, alluding to an ar , tide in the Chronicle, on the prevalence of crime, observed, that the plan suggested by us would, perhaps, produce more good than any other similar corrective which could be adopted; but that such expedients ought to be recom mended only as secondary means of correction, winch they in reality are, and that the public ought to be instructed not to look exclusively to them as a source of safety, but to point their main efforts to the removal of the great cause of all this demoralization—the general corruption of-Government, and consequent depression and distress of the people. " Let sophists quibble," adds our contemporary, "and sycophants rant as they will, it is from this deep and dark four.- • tails that the tide of crime with which we are - now inundated chiefly proceeds ; and until the " feeders of this poisonous fountain are "cut off • like those from a well in the desert, it is vain to expect- amongst the community a subsidence of its waters. The burdens with which the people are oppressed reduce them to po verty ; poverty begets crime, its natural off • spring ; our burthens are still on the increase —our pauper population is therefore on the in crease also ; hence the rapidity with which crime is advancing ; and hence also the reason why it must continue to advance, until the cause which produces it shall be removed. Here is the true secret and entire general history of the demorali zation which has now arrived at so frightful a pitch in this country. Make the people easy and comfortable in their circumstances, and they - will be comparatively quiet and virtuous : adopt and persevere in a contrary system, as we have done and still are doing, and, though every fourth individual should be made a policeman, it will only aggravate by" exasperation, without at all staying the increase of crime." " Make the people easy and comtbrtable in their circum stances !" That is, no doubt, the great point. Men who are easy in their circumstances seldom steal or pick pockets ; and when they are tempted to appropriate to themselves the property of their neighbours, their education generally enables them to do this in such a way as shall not sub ject themselves to penal consequences, which ought to be a strong motive with parents to give their children the blessing of education. Every class in society has its ,peculiar mode of appropriating the property of others. One class runs into debt, buys goods of one man and sells them to another at ,a reduced price ; another class, a little lower in society, swindles directly ; and the poor, being without credit, and without such an address and appearance as shall enable them .to pass themselves off as men of fashion, steal, vois_ an nick nnekets_ The lower the arade in an. ciety, the greater often the necessity for trespassing, ' and the greater the excuse for defective instruc tion ; but penal laws wisely punish the most ignorant and the most excusable with the greatest severity. The great problem is to make men easy and comfortable in their circumstances. But the great crime of crimes in civilized society (for as men become civilized they cannot afford either to love or hate to such a degree as to be thereby stimulated to acts of personal violence, which are consequently rare), the appropriation of the property of others wrongfully, does not seem to decrease with wealth and increase with poverty. In the work on Penal Laws, by Mr. Lucas, he shews that " the crimes against things, or real crimes, are necessarily more frequent in countries the richest and most advanced in civilisation ; not that civilization develops directly those crimes, but in augmenting incessantly, and under so many forms, the sum of our things, of our property, it augments infallibly in this respect the occasions of injury. Nothing so natural as that where temptation does not exist, or exists but rarely, the offence should be rare, and that where the temptation is more multi plied, the offence becomes more frequent. It is the first principle of the justice of foresight, a principle common in the physical as in the moral world, that in removing from the cause the occasion of acting, we prevent the atlion." The same writer observes further " that with a poor population, thst is to say possessed of few productions, such as the population of La Correze and of several parts of Brittany, where man derives little from an ungrateful soil, which he does not attempt to render more fertile, ac customed as he is to live on the little which he obtains from it ; with such a people, who feel neither the spur of want, nor the attraction of luxury, it must be owned that the absence in the dreary external world which surrounds them of all that kindles our passions is calculated to render crime more rare." We must not, therefore, be cause rich men are less disposed to steal or rob than poor men, infer that the theft will be in the ratio of the privation experienced in a country. On the contrary, it may be pretty safely laid down, that the country which is the most pros perous will have the greatest number of thieves. Where the carcase is there will the eagles be gathered together. We must not, therefore, let ourselves be hurried away with the idea that we can ever extirpate thieving. But thieves may, like Soldiers or Priests, become so numerous and burdensome as to impair production, and thereby destroy the sources of their own main tenance. In this country of late the thieves seem to have actually increased in a ratio greater than that of the funds for their maintenance ; for in many places in the vicinity of the Metropolis, the industry of the inhabitants is seriously paralysed by the measures necessary to protect themselves. We might still' have the consola tion of believing ourselves the richest people in Europe from the extent of thieving among us, and yet by improverrients in our police and in the administration of justice materially diminish the 'number of our thieves.—Morning Chron. Some, who profess to understand political tactics, augur a stormy Session on the meeting of Parliament ; but we do, not ourselves see any very good grounds for such an opinion. To us it seems that both the materials and the actors are wanting for such a drama. The policy of the Duke of Wellington's Government, both foreign and "domestic, seems to give as much general satisfaction as any which the country has for many years witnessed ; while the Opposition, if it can be called such, is so deficient, both in numbers and talents, and so little united in•itself, that, added to the extreme paucity of fair grounds of attack, there seems but little chance of its being likely to make any serious impression either on the Duke's Ministry, on Parliament, or the country. As far as our foreign relations are concerned, they are at least in as favourable a state as the Duke of Wellington's Go\'ernment could bring them to. Whatever there is of a contrary character about them is clue to the mis taken policy of Mr. Canning, which policy the Opposition, such as it is, has hitherto 'loaded with its approbation. At home the prosperous state of the finances, added to the evident desire of retrenehment in every quarter, must silence all cavil on that head ; and proves the Duke's Admi nistration to be, what the country in general wishes it to be, one of deeds and not of words. if we ex cept then that eternal theme of discord—the Catho lic Question, we see but little ground for stormy debate ; and as storms have hitherto served that question so little, we do not see the policy of raising them afresh. That the Duke is desirous of treating the question calmly we have his own authority for believins. Till it can he treated calmly on all sides, discussion but embarrasses it, and " the words that burn" only add to the flame it should be the object of all parties to extinguish. Such being, on a cursory view, the state of public affairs, we repeat that we see no reason for anticipating a stormy Session. That there will be much business to occupy its attention there can be no doubt ; but as we have at length got a Prime Minister who prefers doing to talk s ing, it would be well if Parliament itself would, in this respect, take the tone from its leader, by doing more, and talking less. No one can be ignorant that the love of speechifying his long been one of the banes of England, and that it obstructs business much more than it enlightens the public mind. Even when we possessed a race of distinguished orators, they were listened to rather with pleasure than profit ; but now, when scarcely any thing deserving the name of eloquence can be found on either side of either House, the country has a right to hope that speakers of an inferior grade will not continue to occupy the same proportion of time ; to the hin drance of public business.—Morning Herald: A ridiculous contest has been got - Up between two of our Morning Cotemporaries, respecting the amount of annual revenue which they con tribute to the Government; and their mode of calculation is no less amusing than the claim put forward.on the result is truly ludicrOus.— Says our Cotemporary in the Strand, " I am the proprietor of four newspapers, and adding the amount of stamp and advertisement duty, which I pay to the Government, to the amount of the tax on the paper which I consume, the sum of my contribution to the Revenue is upwards of 53,0001. annnally." Says our other Cotemporary in Printing-house square to our joint Cotemporary in the Strand—" You are much mistaken in thinking that you are the greatest contributor to the Revenue of the State ; for by proceeding on the same plan, I find that I contribute nu less a sum than 68,000/. ; being upwards of 14,0001. more than you pay !" Now, if the truth may be spoken without offence, neither of the parties iu ques- Ition pay one farthing more to the Government than the humblest news-vender in the eountryl They are mere agents between the Government and the public—the former being receiver-gene ral of all duties, and the latter consumer-gene and_ in all ca_ces. the nartv out of w hoSe pockets , come the unty on paper, the duty on advertise ments,and the stamp duty !—for all are eventu all charged on. the public, and ultimately paid by it I Neither of the parties, in fact, have the slightest-pretence for putting forward claims of this nature ; for were the doctrine, that the more any one pays to the Government, the more does he benefit the State, allowed, the State itself, as being the greatest consumer of commodities of any body corporate, politic, or individual in the kingdom, and, in consequence, the greatest payer of duties of all kinds, would come in for the first, and by 1,..7 the largest, portion of patriotism ; though every one, who can distinguish his right hand from his left, knows, that the less the Go vernment consumes, the better it is, both for the country and for the State. To have done however, with this silly dispute, we would fain hope, that in the course of the next Session of Parliament, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would turn his attention to the po licy of reducing both the stamp and the adver tisement duty. Both are heavy taxes, by far the heaviest, indeed, in this or in any other country, and a great bar both to the increase of trade and the increase of knowledge. Out of every paper that we publish the Government re • ceives no less a sum than 75 per cent.; and out of every advertisement to which we give inser tion, More than half the amount of the sum paid for it. Vain as the matter is, the public is not generally aware of it; and the conse quence is, that no general petition has ever been presented to the Legislature against such grievous taxation, and no reduction in it taken place, since the close of the war. On financial grounds, only, however, we would fain hope, that the present Chancellor of the Exche quer would consent to a reduction of the duty ; for in taxation, there is no calculation more er roneous than that two and two make four, and we are fully convinced that were the duty on stamps and advertisements to he reduced one half, or even more, not only the public, but the Government, would be a great gainer—the for mer in being able to purchase more newspapers, and to give greater publicity to commercial transactions, and the latter in receiving, per haps, four-fold the amount of revenue which comes into the Treasury under the present sys tem.—Morning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANS[ON-HOUSE. MUSIC LICENSES GRANTED BY THE KING'S SER GEANT TRCSfrETEß.—Yesterday, his Majesty's De puty-Sergeant Trumpeter waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of correcting an inaccuracy which had been made in a statement to his Lord ship, on the subject of a fee which the King's Ser geant Trumpeter had received time immemorial, from the licensed victuallers of the kingdom. The error was calculated to do him considerable preju dice, inasmuch as the persons who were in the habit of paying the fee. might suppose, upon seeing the Recount, all over the empire, that more was demanded than the patentee was authorised to receive. It had been mentioned by the applicant to his Lordship, on behalf of the publicans, that the fee amounted to two guineas upon each license by the King's Sergeant Trumpeter; whereas, under no circumstances did it exceed 255. per annum. The LORD MAYOR considered that it was of very little importance whether the demand was two guineas or twenty-five shillings. There was, in his opinion, just as much reason for granting the first as the second sum, and he was surprised that the Licensed Victuallers ever consented to pay a far thing. Of what service, asked his Lordship, was the King's Trumpeter's License ? The Deputy said that it was issued under the im pression that it would protect the Licensed Vic tuallers, or other persons, who should have music in their houses, from penalties, and of course from the annoyance of informers. The LORD MAYOR—" Protect ! That is im possible. The King's Trumpeter's License is of no more use to a Licensed Victualler than this piece of paper." The Deputy was not prepared to enter into the merits of the case, but his principal was, he believed, occupied in making the necessary inquiries into the nature and extent of the powers communicated to him by his patent. He merely attended for the purpose of showing that, upon occasions of applica tion to him for a licence, he never charged more than he was justified in demanding. The LORD MAYOR—But 1 say you are not justi fied in making any dematel. As I was aware that this was a subject which interested a very extensive part of the community, I looked into the 25th of George 11. sec. 2, cap. 36,. which treats of those li censes. Listen to this, and tell me to what your authority amounts :—" And whereas the multitude . of places of entertainment for the lower sort of people is another great cause of thefts and robberies, as they are thereby tempted to spend their small substances in riotous pleasures, and in consequence are put on unlawful methods of supplying their wants, and re newing their pleasures; in order, therefore, to pre vent the said temptation to thefts and robberies, and to correct, as far as may be, the habit of idle ness which is become too general over the whole kingdom, and is productive of much mischief and inconvenience, be it enacted by the authority afore said, that from and after the Ist of December, 1752, any house, room, garden, or place, kept for publie dancing, music, or other public entertainment of the like kind, in the City of London and West minster, or within twenty miles thereof, without a licence had for that purpose from last pre ceding Michaelmas Quarter Sessions of the Peace, to be holden for the county, city, riding, li berty or division, in which such house, &c. or place is situated (who are hereby authorised and empowered to grant such licenses as they in their discretion shall think proper), signified under the hands and seals of four or more of the Justices there assembled, shall be deemed a disorderly house or place; and every such licence shall be signed and sealed by the said Justices in open Court, and after wards be publicly lead by the Clerk of the Peace, together with the names subscribing the same; and no such licence shall be granted at any adjourned Ses sions, nor shall any fee or reward be taken for any such licence; and it shall and may be lawful for any constable, or other person authorized by warrant, to enter such house or place, and to seize every person who shall be found therein, in order to be dealt with according to law ; and every person keeping such house or place,,without such license, shall forfeit the sum of 1001. to such person as will sue for the same, and be otherwise punishable as the law directs in cases of disorderly houses." Now does the King's trumpeter's licence set aside this Act ? If it be of authorit y , this Act is a dead letter. The Deputy said that the patent was some bus dreds of years old, and the fee was an ancient custom preserved up to the present time. The LORD MAYOR asked what the terms of the patent were ?—The Deputy had not the patent about him, but it ran nearly as had been before de scribed to his Lordship. It privileged " beating, blowing, and sounding.' The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I decidedly think that the King's trumpeter is by no means justified ; any person here has just as much power in that respect. The Deputy said that in consequence of the fact of his Lordship having questioned the right of the King's Sergeant Trumpeter to issue the licence, that officer had determined to consult some eminent law authority, and would be decided by the opinion of such legal person.. The LORD MAYOR advised him by all means to do so .as speedily as possible, and requested to know what were the duties of the King's Trumpeter. - :hat he claimed to nlav before the King and sixteen of his household. The office was held under the Great Seal. Mr. llohler said, that of old the Lord Mayor of London's state was an epitome of Majesty. The sword-bearer was then his Lordship's trumpeter, and used to have his fees for music, but the thing fell into disuse. The Deputy reassured his Lordship, that his principal would, as expeditiously as he could, ascer tain the exact nature of his claim, and act accord- It happened that one of the Committee on the occasion of the great ball given at Guildhall was in the Mansion-house While this conversation was go ing forward. This gentleman said, that the trum peter applied for two guineas to the Committee for his permission to have music; and be also applied for five ells of taffeta with which to decorate his person.. (Laughter.) The Committee had, how ever, disregarded the application. Bo .S'T'REET. Mr. MISHIMA', was engaged to a late hour last night in examining into the circumstances connected with the death of a young man, named Ronald M'Donnell, who threw himself from Waterloo bridge, on the night of last Wednesday, and was &owned. The examination took place at the re quest of a brother of the deceased, who conceived that the calamity might have been prevented if Rogers, the watchman stationed at the bridge, had done his duty. Elizabeth Watson stated that she had lived with the deceased about 18 months, but had not been married to him. On Wednesday evening the de ceased called upon her, where she was employed at needle-work, and asked her to go out with him. She replied, that she could not go then, as she had some work to finish. He then said, that unless she walked with him a little way she would never see him more. Perceiving something strange in his manner, she asked leave of her mistress, and accompanied him down the Haymarket. He took her to a public house, and called for some refreshment, and also for pen, ink, and paper, telling her that he was about to write a letter to his brother, which, having finished, he gave to her to deliver, saying it was the last time he should trouble her. He then emptied his pockets, and gave her all the money he • had about him, after which he accompanied her home for the purpose, as he said, of kissing his infant child for the last time. He did so, and then went in the direction of Waterloo-bridge, telling her he in tended to drown himself. She was dreadfully alarmed, and followed, for the purpose Of prevent ing him. In passing through the toll-gate at Waterloo-bridge, she told the toll-keeper her suspi cions, and asked if the watchman was at hand. The deceased smiled, and said it was nothing more than a mere man-and-wife quarrel, and went on.' The witness then asked for the watchman, and Rogers answered, "I am here." " For Ged's sake," said the witness, " follow that man, he is about to drown himself." The watchman refused to interfere, and in a moment after she saw the de ceased mount upon the bridge and throw himself into the river. She then begged of the watchman to procure assistance, for the purpose of saving the deceased ; •but, although he had witnessed the cala mity, he still refused to interfere, and turned the witness off the bridge, observing, " We won't have any disturbance here." The witness then, in a dreadful state of alarm, ran to the residence of the brother of the deceased, to whom she gave the alarm. Mr. MINSUULL asked the watchman what he had to say in his defence. He replied that he had no notion whatever that the deceased intended to make away with himself, he spoke so pleasantly, and had such a cheerful countenance. In passing through the toll-gate he said, " Do not let this woman follow me, she is my wife, and we have had some words." Mr. MINSIIULL—But did you not hear the young woman say that the deceased intended to drown himself, and did she not call upon you to prevent him ? The watchman admitted this to be the case, but said that the woman wag tipsy, and he did not be- ieve her. Mr. MINSHULL told the watchman that his con duct was ♦ery culpable, and should certainly be re presented to the proper quarter. The brother of the deceased, who, as well as the young woman with whom he had cohabited, ex hibited considerable emotion, said, that the deceased, until within the last three weeks, when he had un fortunately become connected with another female to whom he had promised marriage, was a remark ably steady young - man. UNION.NALL. Yesterday a man named John Huntington, and his wife, were brought before MC. HONE, charged with stealing the clothes of a man (name unknown) who suddenly died while walking along Walworth common, on Monday morning last. The investiga tion of the charge against the parties accused exhi bited an extraordina►y instance of the manner in which dead bodies are procured for the purposes of dissection. From the evidence of Mfr. Murray, the assistant overseer of the parish of Newington, it appeared, that on Monday last the body of a man, who dropped down dead in that parish, was brought to the work house. On the Wednesday following the pri mmer, accompanied by his wife, attended at the committee-roam in the workhouse, and, affect- 0 8 0 Wilkinson proceeded to describe that Hunting ton's house was in a situation admirably adapted for procuring dead bodies; the rear of his premises looked into St. OlaVe's burying-ground, and a small window on the gqiund floor was level with the church-yard : tberefore access was to be had to it at all hours. The implements found in his house showed that he was in the habit of working in burial grounds. The woman Harrington then stated to the Magis trate the origin of the quarrel between her and the prisoners, by which it appeared that she was in the whole secret of the affair relative to the poor man whose body was claimed by the prisoners. She also described that the prisoners had acknow ledged to her that the deceased was no way re lated to them, and that they had trumped up the story to the parish-officers for the purpose of ob. taining the corpse and disposing of it. Harrington then detailed the manner in which she first became ac quainted with the male prisoner, which we shall transcribe as a curiosity. She was walking along the Borough about three months ago, when Hunt ington accosted her, and they entered into conver sation, in the course of which she told him she had a cousin then lying dead at Old Ford, and that she was then proceeding there to sit up and watch the body. He no sooner heard her statement than he exclaimed, ".Let me have the body, and you shall have eleven guineas for it." She rejected the offer, she said, with scorn, and immediately separated from him, but he followed her to the abode of her relative, and, availing himself of the opportunity • when she went to the public-house for a pint of beer, he entered the room where the corpse was lying, and bundling it neck and heels into a bag, got away with it, and sold it at the hospital. She de clared most solemnly that she never shared a half penny of the money obtained for her cousin. Huntington, however, contradicted her, arid de clared that it was with her sanction he took the body, for which he gave her three guineas. The necessary witnesses having been examined, to prove that the body was delivered by the parish officers of Newington to the prisoner and his wife, on the day in. question, ,and_ the clothes of the de ceased also identified; Mr. Horns asked Huntington what he had to say in answer to the charge ? . He replied, that he understood from his wife that the deceased was related to her, and that was. the reason he applied for the body to be given up to him. Mr. HONE : Where did you dispose of it ?-- Huntington : I didn't sell it, your Worship. The man from whom I tired the cart to convey it away from the workhouse, on the way back, said to me, " Here take three guineas,,and go home with your wife and make her comfortable, and I shall soon be after you with the body." " I," said the prisoner, " took the money, but never saw the driver of the cart or the body from that day to this." Wilkinson stated that Huntington's wife had de clared to him on the preceding night, that she was totally unacquainted with the deceased, never having seen him in her life until she saw him in his coffin at the workhouse, when her husband and she went there to claim him. Mr. HONE,—Do you know the person from whom you hired the cart to take away the body ?—Pri soner said that he was a stranger to him. Wilkinson said that be had since ascertained the corpse was taken away in a cart belonging to Hollis, the noted resurrection-man. Mr. Hoes.—What have yon to say respecting the skeleton keys, and other housebreaking imple ments, found in your house ?---Huntington (scratch ing his head). —I picked them- up one at a time in the streets. Mr: HONE.—There are two charges against you, the one is for having burglarious implements in your possession, by which you are liable to three months' imprisonment, and the other is more serious still, as affects you,—namely, for stealing the clothes of the unfortunate man whose body there is no doubt you obtained by pretending to be his relative, and then disposing of it. Lpon which of the two charges I shall commit you I hare not yet made up my mind. It was here suggested to the Magistrate, that if he remanded the prisoner for a few days, other charges would be brought against him; which was done accordingly. lag great sorrow, represented themselves as nearly related to the deceased, and expressed their desire to have the body delivered up to them, adding, that they wished to have it decently interred at their own expense. The parish-officers made some inquiries relative to the applicants in the place where they resided, and heard nothing to their disadvan tage; they therefore consented to deliver up the body to them, after the inquest was held upon it. The inquest was held on Thursday, and when it concluded, the prisoners again presented themselves at the workhouse, and demanded the corpse, which was then, clothes and all, delivered up to them, they having provided a shell to place it in, and a cart to convey it away. Another man attended at the same time with the prisoners to assist in carrying the shell, containing the deceased, from the dead-house, a de tached building at the workhouse, to the cart. Pre vious to the prisoners' departure, they told the parish officers that the deceased's name was John Simpson; that he was the female prisoner's brother ; and that he had come up to London from Shoreham, in Sus sex, about four months ago, with 801. in his pockets, and that he dissipated and squandered away the whole of the:money in that short period. In fact, from the consistent statement the prisoners had given relative to the deceased, and the sorrow and anxiety they be trayed when they first made application at the work house for the body, the parish-officers had not the slightest suspicion but that they were nearly allied to that which they claimed. On Wednesday night, however, in consequence of a quarrel that occurred between the two prisoners and a woman named Maria Harrington, relative to the division of the money which the corpse fetched, it appearing that it had been sold for 11 guineas at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, the whole affair was brought to light, and ultimately led to the appre hension of the prisoners. On the night in question cries of " Murder" were heard in Huntington's house, in Boar's-head-court. Wilkinson, the night constable, proceeded there, and on entering the place discovered the two prisoners, together with the woman Harrington, all fighting together. He endeavoured to put an end to the conflict, and was ultimately obliged to take all the parties into custody to prevent bloodshed, they appeared so inveterate against each other. In the midst of the battle be tween the contending parties, Wilkinson heard them accuse each other of robbery. Maria Harrington frequently ejaculating, " You are body stealers, you know you are; where is the corpse of the poor man who dropped down dead. in Newington, and that you sold for 11 guineas ?" Wilkinson being al-- . quainted with thetircumstances under which the de -ceased was taken to the workhouse, hearing the ob scure hints thrown out against eachother hy the parties, : ouestioned the woman Harrington, who immediately disclosed to him all the facts she Was is posses. clothes. The reason that he had not sinee returned sion of, concerning the trick played by the prisoners , the livery, which however he still thought he had to obtain the corpse from the parish-officers, and some right to, was, that Mr. Taylor had said that he their ultimate disposal of it at one of the hospitals. would not give him a charaCter, and thus prevent Upon this information, Wilkinson having secured him from getting into service again. the parties, proceeded to Huntington's house in I " Indeed," said Mr. Taylor, " I never raid any Boar s-head -court, in the parish of St. Olave, South- such thing.

The action was brougho to recover damages for the injury the plaintiff's ves' sel had suffered by the negligence of the defendant's servants in hauling the Rebecca into dock. By the defendant's witnesses it appeared that, on the 28th of June, 1827, the vessel, on her return flora the Baltic, laden with timber; came opposite' to the . Commercial-dock-gate, and was fastened to a buol. within a hundred yards of the gate, within which distance it was provided by the Act that all vessels should be under the absolute command of the dock' master. They .proved that, when the vessel. had get about two-thirds within the gate of the dock, Captain Thompson, the dock-master, asked vv liat water she drew, and, on being informed sixteen, feet five inches, ordered her to be shoved out as she could not get in. All the witnesses swore.thid the ropes were loosened, and let go just as the dock' master ordered, and in no other manner; that . e yed thing was done by his order; and that, on being pushed out of the deck-gate, being quite unattached , she floated upon a bank, where she fell upon her side and received the injury, for the repair of which the plaintiff now brought his action. The Jury, after some consideration, found a yet' diet for the plaintiff. BIRTHS.

Yesterday, a footman in the service of Michael Angelo Taylor, Esq., M.P., appeared voluntarily before Mr. ROB, the sitting magistrate, to meet a complaint preferred against him by his master. Mr. Taylor said that this footman had been for some months in his service, and although in some respects he had reason to find fault with his man ner, yet, being a very good servant, he had not any intention of parting with him immediately, until on the arrival of the family lately in town from the country, the footman himself, suddenly, and with out any assignable cause, gave notice of his inten tion to quit the service at the end of the usual month's warning, and this notice he gave within three days after the arrival of the family in town, and at a time that he must know his going away would cause an inconvenience. However, nothing more was thought about the matter, but he was suf fered to have his will without any remonstrance, until a few days. ago, before the expiration of the month's notice, while there was a dinner party of friends at the house, the man conducted himself in so noisy and riotous a manner in the lower part of the house, that the tumult he created was heard by all the family, and threw the whole place into confusion; and at last he (Mr. Taylor) gave di- : rections to the butler, that, the footman should be immediately turned out of the house as soon as her' could collect his clothes and take them with him. This was accordingly done ; but the man, instead of taking away only his own clothes, carried off with him an entire suit of new livery, to which he had no claim whatever, and which was his (Mr. Tay lor's) property ; and although the man had since come to the house to demand his wages, and had admitted that he had taken away the livery, he re fused to return it, or tell where he lodged, that it might be recovered; and under these circumstances, he (Mr. Taylor) was determined not to pay the man his wages, but let him recover it how he could; and, 'moreover to proceed against him and have him ' punished as the law directs for carrying away pro perty from_ the house which lie knew did not belong to him—namely, the suit of livery. The footman said in his defence, that he took away' the suit of livery, conceiving that they bye- . longed to him as much as any other part of his 10 I

The newspapers have revived the old rumour of AMBROCETTI'S being an inmate of La Trappe; we as certained at the time it ways first broached that it was not true. He had settled quietly in Italy.—Literary Gazette. Soon after the ltev. ALEXANDER FLETCHER had commenced his sermon yesterday evening, a lady, from the excessive heat of the chapel, having fainted, a gentle man, in order to restore her, incautiously lighted a piece of paper in the body of the chapel, but the blaze having caught his fingers, he dropped the paper. From this cir cumstance an alarm of fire was immediately raised, which created such disorder among the congregation, that a si multaneous rush to effect an escape took place at every quarter of the chapel. Ie vain did the Rev. Gentleman encourage them by his solicitations to remain undisturbed. The scene of confusion was indescribable. We are happy, however, to say, that no accident occurred. Two engines arrived in consequence of the alarm, and the Reverend Gentleman could no loniee continue his discourre. On Tuesday an inquest was held at Bury St. Edmund's, before the Sheriff of Suffolk, upon a writ of aphis utlegattn. This proceeding, which is seldom resorted to, was institnted by Messrs. TAYLOR and Co., solicitors, of Norwich, to attach the property of the Count and Countess DE FnEtoc., in consequence of their having been outlawed in an action for the recovery of 2001. for professional business. The Countess DE Faxxoo was a daughter of the Iste General NETIIERSET, and owtur of some estates in Suffolk. The defendants bad refused to pay the plaintiffs' bill, and left the kingdom ; the plaintiff, in consequence, proceeded to outlawry, by which the free hold estates of the defendants, and debts owing to them, become liable to seizure. dome of the defendants' estates were copyhold, which, by a still existing feudal privilege, are exempt from the process; but the rents due were liable. The Jury returned a verdict, seizing 1801. due for rent, and also a fiechold house and 315 acres of lanl, to answer the plaintiffs' debt. . PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 12.—The Anacreon, Jones, arrived this evening from Sierra Leone, whence she sailed on the 9th of October. His Majesty's ship Athol, 28, Captain A. Gordon, Lad arrived out, and remained there at anchor, with the Eden, when the Anacreon sailed. The coleny,was more healthy than it: had been • for some time and it is consolatory that not any casualties among Europeans have reached us by this conveyance beyond those which had come to our knowledge by previous ac counts. The Anacreon. left at Sierra Leone the Borodino, Navarino, Eloisa, Ocean, Isabella, and Norval. On the 14th of October, she 'spoke the brig Eliza, from Sierra Leone, out ten days, in lat. 9.30. long. 19. 30. On the 15th ult. s4T - saw a ship, about 200 t ons b urt h en , o ff the Western Islands, bottom upwards ; it was then blowingbanl, arid she could not ascertain particulars. Oa the 3d instant, she spoke the American brig Motion its, lat. 42. N. long. 16. W., from .to -- 1Y 'btu 0;:yg. . The - Arachne, I 8 guns, Captain Elliott, is hourly expected with a large freight of silver from the Spanish Main, which she embarked at Vera Cruz at the moment the Spanish expedition was landing at Tampico. The Java, 50 guns, with Admiral Gage's flag from the East India command, may also be daily expected. The Onyx, 10 guns, Lieutenant Boteler, was all well on the 7th ult. in 42. 20. N. 12. 30. W. with a fair wind for Madeira. The Halifax squadron was all well on the Ist of November. The Rose would winter at Halifax, with Sir Charles Ogle's flag on board. The Manly would remain at Newfoundland : anti the Tyne, Co lumbine, and Champion would proceed to Bermuda, there to remain until the spring. The Alligator, 28, Captain Charles Ynike, ar rived on Sunday, with volunteers for the Druid, from Leith. She returned to her station this morn ing. The volunteers were conveyed hence to Ply mouth, in the Echo steam-vessel, on Monday. The Rainbow, 28, at this port, is ordered for commission. She will be taken into Dock on Mon day. The Sirius frigate -(in ordinary) was yesterday brought into dock to be overhauled. She was docked on the 22,1 December, 1819, and undocked 27th August, 1821, after having undergone great repair. The Bull dog has been broken up this week. The Sparrow cutter arrived on Tuesday from a cruise. Sailed the Sylvia cutter. The Wanderer and Sylvia transports sailed on Wednesday to the Eastward. The Echo steam-vessel returned on Thursday from Plymouth. The Kains transport, from Cork, arrived this morning. Sailed the In dustry, naval transport, for Chatham.

The ship Champion, Bacon, arrived this week from Sierra Leone, with wood for the Dock-yard. She has had a long passage, during which she lost seven men, arising principally from the dirty state in which she took her wood on board, which, with the weeds on it, speedily generates a putrefaction in the ~hip's hold. Arrived, on Sunday, the Mary, Jemison, to take 168 male convicts from the hulks at this port for Van Diemen's Land, under the care of Dr. Robert Espic, Surgeon Superintendent. They were em barked on Tuesday, and the ship will sail in a few days. Monday, passed by the William Mills, Williams, from Calcutta, left 2,5 th March ; Rangoon, the 9th of May ; Penang, Mauritius, 29th of July; also the Lady Feversham, Ellerbv, from Bombay ; the Aus tralia, Sleigh, from London for New South Wales; the John Pirie, Cromartie, for Barbadoes ; and the Jane, Baigrie, for Buenos Ayres.

Arrived the Richard and Mary, Smith, from Quebec, in 31 (lays; the 'wren, Barrie, from Peters burgh for Jersey, with lofts of bulwarks; the Ba roness, Keith, from Mogatiore, for orders.—Hamp shire Telegraph. The hooping cough reigns in Arbroath with dreadful violonce, sparing neither age nor sex. The deaths and funerals arc emn mons in proportion to the size of the place. An old msn of 70 years of age within theFe few days fell a victim' t, it ; and it in no uncommon thing to see eight graves de for infants who have died of this disease in one day. The cough is uniformly followed by fever of a most virulent kind, and this is attributed by our medical practitioners to the state of the weather, and pe riod of the year.—Perth Advertiser. WILLIAM MILLS was brought before the Magistrates on Tuesday se'nnight by the Overseers of the poor of Sheffield, for refusing to pay the costs of a war rant which had been awarded against him, when brought up fur neglecting to maintain his wife. In describing her conduct, MILLS said—" Please your Worship she's a drunken Trollop, and it is hnpo3silde for :my man to lead his life with her. I, please your Worship, hare fought with the Duke of Wimmintrox for twelve years, and I hare stood before a column of one hundred and sixty thousand men, but I never met my enemy 61 I mrt with her (pointing to his wife). There, Sir, star.ds my enemy. I would sooner stand before a column of one hundred and sixty thousand men, than I would stand before her."— The Magistrates told him he must pay the expences which bad been incurred, or he would be sent to the House of Correction. This MILLS agreed to do within a fortnight. The Alliance coach, from Liverpool to Lon don, loaded with transports, arriv e d on Monday , last at the George Inn, linutsford, to change horses. The convicts, who had all aleng the road behaved in a meet mutinous manner, now openly defied and fought the keepers having them in charge—getting off the coach, and peremptorily refusing to resume their places. In this dilemma the guard procured the assistance of the governor and two turnkeys of the gaol. The prisoners were then marched into the prison, and the coach being drawn into the yard, they were then placed on it, and proceeded under the ad ditional charge of one of the turnkeys. The convicts subsequently got off, and entering the t ap -room o f a public house, seized the poker, and thr ea t ened to run it throug h one of the keepers if he resist e d any attempt of theirs. We have since been informed that a ll the convicts were drunk, and were in charge of tw o men who were not gaolers, but servants of a person who had contracted for the removal of the prisoners from Kirkdale.—Stockport Abfiertiser. • In the Press, and sheitlyli be published, in 3 vols.

ALDERTON AND ANOTHER V. LAMBERT. This war an action by Messrs. Alderton and Colden, house-agents, to recover 121. Ios. foe their commission in procuring for the defendant, Mrs. Lambert, a tenant for a furnished house belonging to her in Seymour -street. A person of the name. of Rhodes stated that the plaintiffs applied to him to get a tenant.fqr the defendant's house, and they agreed to divide the commission between them . L. tica-knogiQg .th.4tA.iidY—Aftoam.4tifhetrflhfn 'nfairi'VaTin want such a house, recommended it to her ; that he afterwards had an interview with the defendant,. and told her that he had been sent to her by the plaintiff's, who had employed him, and that she said she had employed the plaintiffs as her agents, and had nothing to do with him, Rhodes. The house was ultimately taken by Mrs. Barnaby at a rent of 4001. The defence was, that the plaintiff had never been employed by the defendant to let the house for her. To prove this Mrs. Barnaby and two other witnesses were called. The ease was left to the Jury upon the question as to the employment, and they found for the plain tiff—Damages 121. 10s. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 12. THOMPSON V. FINDEN. This was an action for work and labour bestowed upon three vessels of which the defendant was part owner. It wa. defended on two grounds—first, that the plaintiff had already recovered his demand against• one of the other part-owners of the vess e l; which fact, however, the defendant failed ►o prove. The other ground was, that the credit had been giren to the masters of the vessels personally, and not to the owners generally. The Learned Judge., however, was of opinion that, on the evidence adduced, the defendant was clearly liable, and therefore 'Lie Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full sum claimed. BOARD OF EXCISE, DEC. 12. Mr. John illimkhouse, a wholoutle spirit-dealer, in Fair -street, Horsleydown, was charged with re tailing spirits without a licence. The L'OIIMISSIONERS fined him 12/, 10s. for the offence. He was then charged on two other informations, with having a deficiency of 17 gallons of spirits on the 21st of June, and also a deficiency of 11 gallons on the 24th of August, neither of which deficiencies leas accounted for as hying been sent out by per mits. The penalty is 20s. per gallon so unac counted for. The CouRT fined him 10s. for every gallon defi cient in the stock. Mr. Louis, landlord of the Five Dells .public.: -house, Chancery-lane, wai fined 101. for having a bottle of mixture in his cellar, which was used for colouring beer. Th© defendant did not know that the mixture was in the cellar, and supposed it was there when he took the house. John Evans was fined 1001 for having in his poi sesnion 1071 b. of soap, on which duty hnd not been paid. WOOLWICH PETTY SESSIONS. On Friday last, a petty sessions of the peace for this town and its neighbourhood was holden at the Magistrates' Chambers, before SirJoHN WEBB, Bart. as Chairman, and a full bench of the local Justices. The case of principal interest which came on for investigation was a charge of passing counterfeit 51. Bank of England notes, preferred against a rather respectable looking young man named Ross, who for some time past has been sought for under the diffe rent cognomen of Quimlcy, by the London police, for similar offences committed repeatedly and exten sively in the metropolis, Middlesex, and Surrey. Mr. Christmas, one of the Bank inspectors, was in attendance for the prosecuti on , an d Lea, one of the officers of the Whiteehapel police, was in waiting to secure the prisoner in the event of the present accusation not being brought home to him. From the evidence it appeared that Ross, not long since, called upon Mr. Buck, a licensed victualler, at Woolwich, and, pretending that he came from a Cap tain Fagan, asked for, and obtained two bottles of wine, in payment for which he tendered a 51. bank note, and there being nn suspicion of its spuriousness, received 41. 12s. in change. It subsequently turned out to be a forgery, and, on its being submitted to his inspection, was proved to be such by Mr. Christ mas. After swindling Mr. Buck, he culled upon Mr. Watson, a grocer, and representing himself as in the service of Mr. Chapman, a publican at Charl ton, said he was sent by that person for a pound of tea and three pounds of loaf sugar. These were given to him, and he received the difference between their amount and another counterfeit note, purport ing to be for .5/. Shortly after his departure, some suspicion arose in the mind of Mr. Watson, and he gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner was forthwith transmitted to Maid stone, to abide his trial on the capital charge. Mr. SAXTON, newspaper-vender, of Evan gelist -court, Ludgate-hill, (lied in Clerkenwell workhouse on Tuesday, where be had been removed the night previ ous, having been found on the steps of a door in a dying state. His wretched appearance excited great sympathy. He was a man of the most niggardly habits, and his ill ness is believed to have been produced by a want of the common necessaries of life. On the anniversaries of the newsman's feast he would devour whatever came within his reach most voraciously, and to an excess. To avoid the expense of fuel he habitually frequented a coffee-shop in winter, where he remained all his leisure part of the day. His room was covered with filth and dirt, as if it had never been cleared during the time he had occupied it. Several Bank of England notes were discovered in a box; deeds and leases of houses were also found, together with a book containing a summary of his property in the Bank, Savings Bank, lice. Altogether his property amounts to 1,0001. a year. ECCLESIASTICAL PENANCE, OR TH E CUTTIE STOOL" AT CAMBERWELL.—Yesterday the new Church at Camberwell was crowded to excess, in consequence of its having been notified that a male parishioner was to do penance according to the Ecclesi astical law, for having called a respectable married woman " out of her proper name"—that is, bestowing on her a certain appellation. The officiating Clergyman, the Rev. Mr. VANE, after he had concluded his sermon, descended from the pulpit and approached the Vestry. The pres sure of the crowd to obtain a sight of the proceedings in the Vestry, where it was then understood the recantation was to be made, led to great noise and confusion, and a scene was exhibited very unbecoming the sacred character of the building. At length the party offending made his appearance, attired in a white covering. He was attended by four friends on either side, and while the Rev. Mr. VANE read the form of recantation laid down by the Ecclesiastical law, he bowed in affirmation of the several points in it, and the ceremony terminated. The party then left the Vestry room by the small door, to the mani fest disappointment of several hundred persons who were assembled outside the Church: , Any longer respect to these people, would ap pear in the eyes of friends as well as enemies symp toms of weakness and signs of cowardice. The feeble and the base do not unite in France. The crisis is approaching—it is inevitable—it must be short and salutary. The jacobin journals affect to repeat that the Ministry are desirous of avoiding it by their retirement. They lie to their partisans and to themselves. The Ministers are ready and deter mined, and the more calm because they are the more resolute; they will not advance to encounter any body. Theluestion of a majority henceforward appears to - them one of the insignificant themes, abandoned to the-idle talk of coffee-houses, and to the silliness of - saloons.

Let them persevere in their noble and courageous resolutions, and they will see, arising in their be half, not only the majority,but nearly the unanimity of Frenchmen. What then is this pretended ch. iherwing majority, which not only presumes to treat with the throne as one power with another, but to dictate conditions to the living law,—the source of all laws,—that is, royalty ? Of what is it com posed? Of rhetoricians without a conscience, of demagogues without people, and of generals with out soldiers; and yet they dare to call themselves the representatives of public opinion, and the organs of the nation. France recognizes only the King as its immortal representative; the word of tir! King is theexpression of the sentiments, of the wishes, of the wants, and of the interests of his people. The majority—is the King. LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE JOURNAL DES DEBATS. " Sir,--I am a foreigner, but I love France. It is two years Since I visted your country, and I assure you that those French Journals which pro fess extreme opinions gave me a false idea of `•our internal political position. " I arrived with the persuasion that you were on the eve of a revolution ; and it is generally believed abroad that a revolutionary spirit pervades the heart of every man; some desiring a republic—others despotism. In many foreign Courts it is believed that there are no means to preserve the Crown to the Bourbons but by destroying all the institutions granted by Louis XVIII. Finally, general fear is created by this spirit of .Tacobinism, announced so confidently and positively by some of your gazettes to exist. Before arriving at Paris, I was anxious to travel through the departments. " It is three months since I arrived here, and it is three months since I have been an imp ar ti a l spec tator. My being a foreigner has afforded me faci lities to observe societyjn nearlf-all its grades in the capital; and I send you the candid result of my ob servations. " Never did I see a better spirit reign in France. Never did did I more fully perceive the desire which all classes feel for tranquillity. Never was there less of a revolutionary spirit; never was there a more unanimous wish to preserve the monarchical Government; never was there less of jacobilis and of absolutists. The immense majority of French men is satisfied, and your countrymen, accused as they are of fickleness, only ask ;IA only wish for repose and stability. 1 then confidently affirm that the French have been calumniated abroad, and that certain journals have shamefully deceived their readers, by asserting that there existed a party who wished for a republic. I also affirm that every ob serving traveller that arrives in France, whatever may be his political opinions, will conic to the same conclusion as myself, if be be a candid man and have no private interest to make !din see things differently. " I assert that no King ever felt more secure or tranquil on his throne than Charles X.. and that he cannot but deride the reports created to make him fear the tendency of his people to revolution. No people in Europe are less inclined that way, and for a very simple reason—because every Frenchman has still in his memory, either from personal experience or from his parents' tradition, the frightful evils which revolution produces. " I also assert, that if a revolution were possible, it would proceed from the Ministerial power. Frenchmen of all ranks are averse to it, but that power might provoke one. No person in France, no party, could alone attempt to shake the throne of the 'Bourbons ; hut false friends might compromise its safety, by continually attempting to destroy its supports. In striving to avoid a danger which does not exist, they would fall into a fathomless abyss. " I likewise assert, that 99 Frenchmen out of 100 detest alike ultra-liberals and ultra-royalists. All respectable people look upon those men of exalt ed passions as the most dangerous enemies of the King and his people. . _ _ " 1 still faille': assert, without fear of contradic tion, that the unanimous wish of all foreign powers, more enlightened in the present day than formerly, coincides with that of the majority of France, which is, to see the King choose his Ministry among wise, firm, and moderate men. I assert, finally, that if a Ministry so composed were to resist with energy the demands of extreme opinions, it would deserve well of the King of France, his people, and foreigners, for it is the interest of all Europe to see France tranquil. " If you should think fit, Sir, to publish my letter, I beg you will not make public my name, as my situ ation in society makes me anxious to preserve secrecy. " Accept, &c." (From the Ifessager des Chambres of Friday.) TOULON, DEC. s.—An English corvette has brought to Port Mahon an Algerine Plenipotentiary, who is commissioned to negociate. It is affirmed that it is at the solicitation of the Porte that th„• Dey of Algiers has decided to endeavour to put an end to his differences with France. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, NOV. 29.—The affairs of Greece, which are now the subject of active ne gociatious at London, occasion a constant exchange of couriers between London, Paris, and St. Peters burgh. The principal questions arc relative to the political existence and the form of the future govern ment of Greece, and it seems to be decided that the country is to be entirely exempt from the sove reignty of the Turks, and that it is to be a mo narchical state. But it is not determined who shall be the new sovereign. Greece, by its geographical position, and the rapid improvement which it may be expected to make, will certainly become of great political importance. It is presumed, with some appearance of cer tainty, that a prince of one of the smaller German states will be selected. Some persons speak of Prince Gustavus of Sweden, but it is affirmed that he has not offered himself as a candidate. In truth it will not be an easy task, in the present circum• stances of Greece, to effect the r4mplete regenera• tion of a people among whom there C are so many germs of fermentation, and to direct it with success in the career through which Count Capo Olstrta has led it with so latch glory in so short a time.

I.—The Constantinople mail of the 10th of November has at letsgth arrived, having been only retarded a few days by the obstacles Itsinti at this season. The letters are not all delivered .1 we learn, however, that the Divan had several times met to deliberate in the 11 days from Oct. 27 to Nov. 10, in consequence of a communication front London, which was generally supposed to relate to the affairs of Greece. The office of Defterdar, or treasurer, is, under the present circumstances, one of the most unpleasant and difficult; the present trea surer is said to aim at lightening the heavy burden hitherto borne by the people, and at the same time at finding,(milans to fulfil punctually the engagements into which the Porte has entered.

FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, NOV. 24.—The Rime tory cordon, on the side of the Principalities, ins strengthened, because at the latter end of last month the plague had spread farther, both in theio and the remote Russian districts. Travellers ate subjected to forty days' quarantine, and goods 21 days, and the latter are also to be purified. Com merce suffers by this immure, but in the preseat instance Ag . .only mesas slot caw be irespiereet---te --' exercise great vigilance for the preservation of the public health. The organization of the national troops in the principalities is commenced, and sian officers are appointed to train them. Foreign speculttors wish to contract for the clothing and ac coutrements, but as experience has proved how little advantage the service derives from such con tracts, and how easily abuses ensue, it is probable the Divan will take the business into its own hands. The choice of the hospodars seems not to be distant. It is reported that the Sultan has sent to the Emperor of Russia a list of those persons whore he judges_ to be qualified for these officers, requesting him to select from them the future hospodars. _ _ In Poland it appears that the annual recruiting of the army is proceeding as usual, but that it is not intended to call the Diet together this year.

ODESSA, Nov. lii.—There have been some fresh cases of plague in the :Jews' quarter. All the patients, and the persons who had intercourse with them, have been removed to the Lazaretto. _ In the last four days two persons died of the plague in the Lazaretto of the port, and one person has fallen sick. In the temporary quarantine two persons have been attacked by the plague. he trade of our port is very active. BRUSSELS, DEC. 10.—His Majesty has decided that the affairs relative to the Catholic Church shall be separated from the department of the Minister of the Interior, and placed again under a special board, at the head of which he has placed Baron de Peticky. This board, like the preceding, will be fixed at Brussels.—Brussels Papers, Dec. 12. The meeting of the inhabitants of Hudders field and its neighbourhood, held yesterday, was full of dis tressing interest. We have long thought and said that the suffering of the labouring class in that neighbourhood was extreme ; but the case made out yesterday was stronger even than we had imagined. The immediate cause of the evil is low wages, aggravated in many cases by a deficiency of work ; and the era of the reduction of wages, though it was not mentioned at the meeting, is dated from the period of general distress in 1826, when stout, able-bodied men were employed on the public highways at the rate of 6s. per week in breaking atones. This employment not suiting the habits, nor indeed the constitutions of the weavers, they were glad to accept employment in their own business even at this extremely depressed rate of wages, and the consequence has been, that front that time to this they have never been able to obtain any material advance. This change produced no lasting benefit to the masters, who soon sold their goods at a price correspond ing with the wages paid to their men, and, in many cases, even without any profit whatever. Under these circum stances, both masters and men deprecate, with eqititt tle trstt►ion, the system of low wages and low profits. These evils the meeting, with great justice, attributed to exor bitant taxation and unduly high rents, which the change in the currency, front gold to paper, in 1796, b nd:d much to produce, and which the recent change fromiaper to gold, without a corresponding change in the rent and taxes, failed to remedy, and indeed greatly aggravated. The cause of the present unexampled distress., as thus stated, suggests the remedy ; but how far the people of the country have the spirit to demand, and the Govern ment of the country the courage and ♦irtue to apply, the remedy, remains to be determined. It is only candid to sty that we believe there is no portion of the West Biding of Yorkshire labouring under so great an extremity of dis tress as that with which Upper Agbrigg, in which Ilud. dersfield is situated, has long been visited; but it is incum. bent upon every part of the county, and of the country, to contribute as much as lies in their power to the re moval of those evils which may soon reach themselves, and in which too many of them do already participate. We have neither time nor space for further &nervation at pre sent ; but we solicit the attention of our readers to the proceedings of yesterday's meeting, u reported in the sub.. Sequent columns of this Paper, and to which we hope they will give a deliberate perusal.

BANK OF F,NGLAN We find it a frequent subject of remark among pet-sous wlro are in the habit of ieterely watching !!te Item of NlTiti,s in the money-market, that there is an evident tendency in the management of the dt4c of England, and has been so for some time Priest, to extend the action of that great establish is-lent, in a degree calculated materially to increase its power, and fraught, perhaps, at some distant Tier , ' 1 with danger to the country itelf. As this is a subject of the very highest importance, we shall endeavour to analyze the facts and arguments by which this opinion is supported, premising only that they are to be taken throughout as the sentiments of a class possessing some weight in the city, of which we aim merely at being the faithful reporter. It is maintained, then, that the disposition of the sank of England to go out of its proper limits, is to be trared in its commencement to a period soon after ,he panic of 1825, which brought odium on the whole system of private banking, but partiett larlp that of the country beakers, the public feeling respecting whom was even supported by distinct declarations on the part of the Ministers of the day. Of this opprobrium the Bank directors, who at that time possessed influence over" its manage ment, ar e charged with having artfully taken advantage, although they contrived in appeetPatce to adopt every measure suggest ed to them by their masters with reluctanee, and as if desirous only to lend their aid in prevent ing the recurrence of similar periods of disaster.-- Hence originated the branch banks in the country. which are now spreading silently, as it were, and almost by imperceptible degrees, nearly over the whole of the kingdom. The directors, however, took care to divert public attention from the pro gress making, and never lost an opportunity of pro te-tieg, at their quarterly meetings of proprietors, that they had instituted these branches at the ex press desire of the Government, with a positive loss to themselves. A circumstance, however, shortly afterwards occurred, to hich spread much suspicion respecting the real views of the directors; we allude to the famous " circular," in which opi nions were solicited from intelligent bankers and merchants throughout the kingdom, on the expedi-, ency of gradually substituting ,bank-notes for the local paper circulated in the various district-, by making the country bankers, in fact, agents for the distribution of the former; and an attempt was made at the same time to prove that they would be in most instances gainers by the change, and would also be secured from such convulsions as had re cently occurred. This document was attributed at the time to the gentleman who is now the De puty Governor of the Bank, whose influence is now paramount in its affairs, and was very consi derable long before he came into office. His opinions were, probably,—indeed there can be no doubt that such is the case,—adopted on the most perfect conviction. Those who impugn the management of the Bank do not deny this; but they maintain at the same time that they form the basis of the present management ; that they are mixed up with ambitious views; and that they have a tendency to increase the power of the Eavk beyond the bound.; of safety to the country. he7pcogreas, they contend, is certain, though slow, art: is to be regarded on that account as the more dangerous. '1 he lending at three per cent. on Ex- Olt-quer-Mk in June last ; the extension of the same atsvommodation to India Bonds and bills of ex change, lately adopted, though only for a limited period ; the gradual formation of additional branch barks; and, finally, the measures now supposed to be under discussion with regard to the country cir culation, are all pointed to as proofs that the po licy of the Bank is steadily directed to a great in crease of its importance. The Directors are charged also with doing this with the view of make ire; the establishment so sitally necessary to the country, at the time that its present charter is about to expire, that it will be entirely out of the power of the Ministers of the day to refuse them a continuance of their monopoly on whatever terms may be dictated. This is one of the apprehended evils of the pre sent course taking by the Bank of England; but the far greater danger, to which the fears of those pet-ions whose opinions we are quoting point, is the possibility of such an enormous issue of Bank paper, compared with the security which the Bank, as a corporation, * bas to offer for its payment, that a mo nied convulsion may occur at some future time, to which all that have preceded it are in the comparison harmless. This is the substance of observations lately to lu met with in the city ; and it must be confessed, with every allowance for h strong prejudice against the Bank itself which prevails in every other part of the monied interest, that the subject is well xvorthy of having the general attention called to it. —Tinics. THEATRICAL ACCOMMODATION.—A sys tem is now gain;ng ground which s*rongly reminds us the imaginary correspondence between the prompters of the Antipodean theatres. It argues a poverty of talent on the one hand, and a wish to accommodate on the other. The manager of one theatre writes to a rival king of Brentford, " My dear E., can you possibly oblige me with the use of Miss --, on Thursday night?" Now E. finding that he can dispense with said lady for pint of the evening, and that lie can save part of the salary, acts on the prudent principle of keeping no more cats than will catch mice, and replies—" My dear C , I require Miss L. myself in the early part of the evening; but as she will only be required in one act, she will not be too much exhausted to suit your purpose in the latter part of the evening. She is therefore at your service, if you and she can agree as to terms. By the bye, I want a snow storm for Monday, and amour machine is out of order, pray send ute your's." In illustration of this, we may mention th it RATNER. lately played a week at the Pavilion. T. P. Cooka is now doing double duty, between the Surrey and Covent-garden. Wit,Liams ditto, at the Surrey and Tot tenham-street; while the fascinating syren WayLerr lends a helping band for RAYNER'S benefit at the Surrey. Doubtless the per , fsignera find their profit in this. Died, on Tfiu rsd a y morning, suddenly, at Cranbury-house, having been found dead in his bed, Wai. CHAMBERLAYNE, Esq., Member for the town of Southampton. His large pussession., including the Netley Abbey property, which fell to him on the demise of the late Lady (Dame) HOLLAND, will devolve to his only sister, and eventually to a nephew. To a mind stored with the richest vein of classic lore, was added a moat correct and elegant taste for the arts. He was a speaker of the first-rate talent, though he never took part in the debates in the House of Commons. Those who heard him on the hustings at the Southampton contested elec tion, will remember the effect of his oratory. At this election he contested the point with the present Sir GEORGE RosE, and carried his return by a majority of one only.. He had for some years previously sat in Parliament for Christchurch, through the indulgence of the late Right Hon. GEORGE ROSE, with whom, however, he had some political difference, which impelled him to oppose his son for Southampton. In consequence of the demise of Mr. CHAMBERLATNE, JOHN STORY PENLEAZE, Esq., and J. BAB.Low HOY, Esq., of Midenburv, have offered them selves to the electors as candidates for the representation of this town in Parliament. As the Rev. Dr. JoSEPII MUNOZ DE STO 31AyoK was passing along the City-road, on Saturday. he was suddenly seized with a paralytic fit. He fell on his face, and received a severe bruise on his left eye; he was, fortunately, not deprived of his senses, but be has en tirely lost the use of his legs. Some persons passing at the time assisted him to a neighbouring house, from whence he was conveyed to his own residence, 24, Whit more-road, Buxton. The Rev. Gentleman, we under stand, has had, within the last six weeks, two fits of apo plexy, of the kind called apoplexia mentalis. In the opinion of the medical men who have attenie , : him, his disease is entirely to be attributed to the change ic. his man ner of living, and the distressed situation to he has been reduced—from a rich Spanish Abad, or Rector, to an emigrant, depending for existence upon the bounty of the English Government, from whom he receives fifteen shillings a week.

The detachment which is to form the garrison of the fortress entered the town in admirable order, and was received with enthusiasm by all the inhabitants. On the 27► h inst. the Turkish garrison, which is provisionally mooned in the suburbs, will be sent to Rudsehuk, with its ammunition and provisions. General Kis seleff is still expected. CONSTANTINOPLE, NOY. 11. In the neighbourhood of Phillippopoli extreme distress prevails. The inhabitants of several villages have come to blows with the Albanians, who com mit the greatest excesses. The defeat of the Turks in the last engagements with General Paskewitsch, in Asia, has made a great impression on the Sultan, whose temper for some time past causes great un easiness. Within these few days we have had the singular sight of several merchantmen under the Greek flag, which passed through the Canal to enter the Black Sea.

The number of members present at the Diet has been decreasing for some days, though most of the subjects brought `before it are not yet discussed. Tha new law relative to mortgages in cities was passed with a few alterations in the sitting of the 28th November, and thus a oubject concluded which has occupied tl►e Dict for several years. s People general are of opinion that this law will have the most beneficial effects on credit and the security of real property, and great praise is bestowed on the completeness and systematic arrangement of the law. The law on the settlement and maintenance of the poor has caused animated debates, as the interests of the several provinces are so various. Only three extraordinary contributions will be levied next year, and yet as the amount annually increases, and the collateral tax greatly exceeded the estimate last year, an extraordinary redemption of 50,000 rix dollars of the debt will be effected. On the whole 200,000 dols. of the debt . will be paid off. SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENE RAL, DEC. S. THE HAGUE, DEC• 10. A royal message was read, accompanying a cor rected project of law relative to the distribution of the capital sum of the land-tax for the year 1830, the first project having been rejected by the Cham bers. The Central Section brought up its report on the annual and decennial Budgets, commencing with the year 1830. The report is to be printed, and the debate on it was fixed for Monday, the 14th instant. The day before yesterday the ofl•'icers of the Burgher guard gave a grand entertainment to his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, as Colonel-General of the Burgher Guard of the whole kingdom. His Royal I iighness was accompanied by his two eldest sons, and was received with all military honours by a numerous body of the guard. His Royal Highness Prince Frederick was also present, as well as a great number of officers and persons of distinction. The following are extracts from Oporto Papers of the 28th Nov. : COIMBRA, NOV. 24. His Majesty the King of England has sent a present of books to his Most Faithful Majesty Don Miguel L, for the Library of this Univers►ty. The Librarian received notice of this consignment, and the Consul at Lisbon has never sent word that the books have arrived. OPORTO, NOV. 26. Yesterday morning there arrived in this city 20 criminals, brought from the prisons at Lisbon, from which they sailed on board a Portuguese yacht, which wa■ forced by stress of weather to put into Villa de Viana, whence the prisoners were conveyed by land, and lodged in the prison of the Relacao, under the orders of the President of the Alcada. OI'ORTO, NOV. 28. The Correio of to-day gives the names of the prisoners brought from Lisbon and landed at Viana ; among them are Antonio Jose Claudino Pimentel, Brigadier of the Royal Armies, Knight of the Order of the Tower and Sword, &c., aged 53; Luez Claudino de Oliviera Peinandel, living on his pro perty, aged 54 ; the Rev. Antonio de Parva Mon teiro, Abbot of St. .John the Baptist, in the town of Jabugal, aged 60 ; and three other Ecclesiastics, one of whom is 67 years of age. We received this morning the following from our Paris Correspondent : - " PARIS, DEC. N. "Every new arrival from the French possessions in the \Vest Indies confirms the account of which I gave you some notice in a recent letter, of the dis turbances and disagreements between the white and coloured population, which have latterly assumed rather a serious character. Attempts have indeed been made to contradict these statements, but if credit is to he given to the letters from Point a Pitre, which have lately arrived at Havre, and which are generally written by reluctant witnesses, it appears that the former statements were far from being over-. charged, and that something like an insurrectionary spirit has shown itself both at Guadeloupe and Mar tinique, so that the actual disturbances which had broken out at Marie Galante and St. Anne, must be regarded as an indication only of the general state of feeling throughout the French - West Indian possessions. The habitual distrust and jea lousy which is on all occasions manifested towards Englishmen, has with perverse ingenuity found the means of ascribing these insurrectionary movements to the rival influence of some of the inhabitants of the English colonies, one of whose emissaries is said to have been arrested at Point a Pitre, and to have escaped punishment by the affectation of insa nity. It is strange, however, that while the white inhabitants are constantly labouring under the real or affected dread of massacre and insurrection, the only symptom of disturbance which has yet trans pired is not among the negroes or the slaves, but exclusively among the mulattoes and freemen of colour, many of whom are known to be in the pos session of considerable property, which would seem to offer a proportional security against their engaging in such insane procedings. At Guadaloupe, also, it is remarked, that the men of colour, who have repeatedly behaved as good citizens during periods of alarm, and have always beer► treated with much more respect than at Mar tinique, are also much less prone to insurrection than the coloured population of the other islands.— It is the result, in fact, of all the information I have been able to collect on the subject, that the perpe tual state of fermentation which has for some time existed, is to be ascribed to the degradation and dependance in which the coloured population are held, or attempted to be held, by the Colonial Aris. tocracy. The two classes are not equal before the law, in regard either to evidence, or the quantum of punishment ; men of colour arc not capable of inhe ritance, and what, perhaps, is a still more galling mark of degradation than either consideration, is, that the title of Minaieur is denied to them, although so liberally bestowed in the Mother country on every clown with a decent coat on his hack. It is not wonderful that the mulattoes should be annoyed at the air of superiority assumed over them by Europeans, many of whom may be far in ferior to themselves :n moral, if not also in personal qualities, while some of those by whom they are thus maltreated, may have left the mother country after having offended the lawe, or even after having been subjected to penal inflictions. Under such citt cumstanees it would be surprising if men conscious of no crime, and with all the confidence inspired by a well-lined purse, should occasionally display, as they are said to do on the public walks of Guadeloupe and Martinique, some ridiculous airs of presumption ; and if they were even to elbow and in sult some inoffensive individuals who had not been so prosperous in the world, but who bore the marks of the oppressor in the whiteness of their skin, it -night fairly be ascribed to a moral re-action, arising from the sense of previous indignities, if not of po sitive acts of injustice. This view of the matter is in some measure confirmed by the fact, that although the men of colour are more free to act at Guadeloupe than elsewhere, there .is there much less of an insurrectionary disposition than in other places, evidently because they are there better sa tisfied with their lot, and less anxiousto change it. " A little hunch-back, of the name of Pierre Ga briel Pol, seems to have been regarded by the one party as the leading incendiary, and is now treated by the other as a victim of the vindic tive feelings or the vengeance of the whites. — This Mr. Pol had sailed for Point a Pitre about eight months ago, and his finances not being in the best condition, he was assisted by a man of colour, with whom he had sailed as a fellow passenger. It was Mr. Pol's intention to have connected himself with some public academy at Point a Pitre, or, if possible, himself to have formed one; and, after several unsuccessful attempts, the men of colour patronised him, and sent their chil dren to the school he had opened. In his ignorance of the manners of the Colonists, Mr. Pol sa►v no thing but absurdity in the prejudice which separated the whites from the men of colour, and thought himself able to brave it. In this, however, he found himself mistaken, so that he naturally identified himself with the views and feel ing; of hie pato% and became the pro pagator of their ideas. This alliance.'was sa ex; - ', traordinary as to excite the alarm of the police, who gave hini notice that in consequence of his public , intimacy with the coloured classes, he would be placed under surveillance. Having disregarded this hint Mr. Pol, it appears, had been sent home to France, where he will probably soon arrive, and be , regarded as a martyr in the cause of humanity, al though it seems that those, in whose cause he has suffered, have shown themselves not ungrateful for his services, by providing "him with an ample supply of every necessary, and making a subscription for him of upwards of 12,000 francs. " On the occasion of the difference between the Commandant of Marie Galante, and the judicial functionaries, the proprietors of the island appeared to have been in a state of the greatest alarm, excited it is said by the proceedings of the Judge and the Procureur du Roi, who are accused of having tra velled over the country, visiting the work shops, asking the people if they were well treated, and offering to the slaves to defend them if ill-used by their masters. To this conduct is ascribed a belief on the part of the mulattoes that orders had arrived from France for the recognition of their rights, and, as might have been anticipated, all the symptoms were manifested of a violent fermentation. The Commandant opposed the proceedings of the Procu reur and the Judge, which resulted, as mentioned in my former letter, in his being sent to answer for his conduct at the principal seat of Government, at Bas seterre. To inform himself as to the true state of the fact, the Governor sent an officer of his staff to Marie Galante, who, on his return to Basseterre, made a re port unfavourable to the proceedings of the Comman dant. Rumours having arisen of further disturbances, a new commission of enquiry, consisting of several indi viduals, was despatched to Marie Galante, who looked on the matter in a more serious light than the first reporter. In consequence of these contradic tory reports, a third commission had been sent by the Governor, and with it the Judge and the Pro cureur du Roi. The inhabitants, however, had re solved not to receive or obey these functionaries in future, and on their appearance had shut up their shops and warehouses. On this being reported to the Governor, and that the President of the Town Council, several officers of militia, and other functionaries, had refused to act, he issued a proclamation, calling on the inhabitants to reopen their shops and warehouses, and on the functionaries to resume their official duties, under the penalty of the merchants' licences being withdrawn, and the others being sent to Basseterre for trial. This pro clamation bears date the 26th of September. While these proceedings were taking place at Marie Ga lante, the men of colour in other quarters, supported by the declarations of the men of principle,' as the friends of emancipation are called by the colo nists, were said to have been seen to assemble in ex traordinary numbers at St. Anne, under various pretences. Anonymous information of these meet ings had been sent to Point a Pitre, and at length, on the 18th of September, at seven o'clock in the evening, a man of colour made his appearance at a meeting of the whites, who had that day been reviewed, and were dining with the Commandant, telling them that at the rising of the moon they were all to be ma-sacred in their own houses. They immediately put themselves in a posture of defence, sentinels were stationed at various places, and six of the ringleaders earned by the mulatto were seized, the others having escaped. Their project is said to have been for two or three of them to have been placed near each house in the town of St. Anne, and provided with poignards, bayonets, and other weapons, were to have called on the in habitants, who, on leaving their houses, were to have been stabbed. Detachments were then to have been posted at all the outlets of the town, and the tocsin to be sounded to bring the people from the country, who, on their arrival, were also to have been massacred. They were then to have made known at Point a Pitre what had passed at St, Anne, and were to have availed themselves of the general consternation to set the town on fire. This of course is the statement of those whose inte rest it is to make it appear that-a serious conspiracy has really existed; in confirmation of which it is asserted that depots of arms and ammunition had been found in various places. Yet strange to say it never seems to enter their minds that, true or false, such statements afford an unanswerable argument in the bands of those men of principle' who insist that such an unnatural state of things as negro sla very, and a distinction in civil rights, in consequence of a difference in the colour of the skin, should never be suffered to exist." The projected establishment of a new Col lege at Bristol is an event that must be hailed by the well-wishers of education as one of consi derable importance, being the first instance of an attempt in the country to follow the example given in the metropolis by the founders of the University of London. The great population of Bristol itself, and the abundance of capital it possesses, must ensure the raising of a suffi cient subscription to commence the undertaking, independently of the support that may be ex- petted from the west of England in general, to which the locality of Bristol so strongly recom mends that city as a convenient resort fur the youth of those districts, who are desirous of the benefits of an University education. That two Universities, numbering together about 5,000 students, are any thing like adequate to a population of thirteen millions, will hardly be con tended. But, that population being industrious, rich, and intelligent, the want of academical in stitutions is so much the greater. The higher classes, who can afford the heavy expenses of Oxford and Cambridge, and also the great loss of time that is there sustained by studying (after a fashion) the classics, to the exclusion of the more useful branches of knowledge, do not feel any want of this kind ; but persons in a middle rank of life, as commercial and professional men, complain generally of the obstacles that exist to sending their sons to either of the ancient Semi naries " - of sound learning and religion," as the Homily expresses it, and of the danger arising from the profligate habits:contracted by associ ations with youths of rank and fortune, who regard the ceremoity of spending two or three years at College merely as a sort of practise, which, like belonging to a club, has by custom become necessary fur a gentleman. The students of the London University are a different kind of persons, and have very different views ; so must the members of the Bristol College, and of any other e stablishment, whose principle and design are to afford the means of acqUiring the various branches of knowledge in the best manner they pe canr prejudices learned, of with equal disregard of the intolerance, and of the frivolities of fashion. If we turn our eyes to surrounding nations, of which we have so often proclaimed ourselves to be " the envy and admiration,"- we Shall see In kiany,'a 2ea „our the superior education of the' people well worthy of our imitation. The six Universities of the Netherlands are increasing so fast in their numbers, that in 1824 they contained 2,275, and in 1826, 2,752 students. Germany contains at least thirty Universities, and as an example of their flourishing condition, the num bers at the seven in the Prussian dominions rose from 3,382 in 1820 to 5,954 in 1827. In Russia, of whose barbarism people arc in the habit of talking so much, and so ignorantly, within the present century four new Universities have been established, viz.—that of Dorpat in 1802, Kharkof in 1804, Kazan in 1814, and St. Petersburgh in 1819. These four, with the older ones of Moscow and Wilna, contained 1,077 scholars in 1808, and in 1824, 2,667. Between the same years, the number of the schools in general under the controul of the Russian Government had risen from 1,132 to 1,411 ; and that of the pupils in the same, from 46,695 to 69,629. These arc facts which• dis play an ardour in the great work of education, well worthy of imitation in this country, where the means are so much greater when the will once excited. The Bishop of the diocese had, it is said, refused his sanction to the College, because in struction in the Theology of the Church of England is not intended to be made obligatory . 'I he Bishop's hostility will, however, no more retard the scheme, than the omission he com plains of; will affect its utility. It would be ex tremely unworthy and impolitic to exclude Dis senters from the institution by any such regula tion ; and there is no doubt arrangements could be made to give orthodox religious instruction to those pupils who wish for it, by subsidiary lec tures to be delivered under the approbation of the Council, as is now done at the London University. We would recommend to the Bris tol Association to avoid as much as possible the giving offence to the Clergy, or any other influ ential persons ; but let them found their College on fair and liberal principles, and select Profes sors of ascertained learning and character, and their success will soon enable them to laugh to scorn the calumny of their being actuated by ill will to the Church, or a desire to pull down the Established Religion, and to defy the denuncia tions of the Hierarchy against institutions con ceived in the most Christian benevolence, and designed to promote the same end as Christi'', nity itself—the happiness of the present and fu ture generations of mankind.

And as to such worldly estate as God has bestowed upon me, I give and dis pose thereof, in manner hereinafter mentioned; that is to say, I give, devise, and bequeath all my fee-farm rents issuing out of lands lying in the county of Northampton, which were devised to me by my late dear sister Elizabeth Garth, and now usually collected by Christopher Stnyth ) at torney at law in' Northampton, to my dear nephew Thomas Garth, a Captain in the Royal Navy, his heirs and assigns, for ever. I give and bequeath unto my dear niece Frances Garth, spinster, one annuity, or clear yearly sum of 3001., to be paid to her by equal half-yearly payments on the 10th day of January, and the 10th day of July in every year, during her natural life; the first half-yearly pay.; ment to be made on such of the said days as shall happen next after my decease. Ido hereby ratify and confirm the settlement made by me of the moiety of annuity, yearly pension, or rent-charge of 3,000/., granted by letters patent of his Majesty King Charles the Second, payable out of the reve nue belonging to the Duchy of Cornwall, and other treasures in the receipt of the Exchequer, and which I have settled upon myself, and in certain events upon my son, Thomas Garth, by indenture bearing date the 17th day of November, 1820. And Ido hereby declare, that I have not exercised, neither do I intend to exercise, the power of appointment of the said moiety of the said grant or yearly pen sion reserved to me in and by the said settlements, but I mean, and intend that the trusts of the same, in favour of my said son, shall take effect, and be performed according to the limitations in and true intent and meaning of the said indenture of settle ment; and I do hereby direct, that the income arising from the M me moiety of the saidgrant, or yearly pen sion, be paid by my trustees and executors hereinafter named unto my said s,on, for and during the term of his natural life, and from and after his decease then I direct that the same be paid to his lawful issue, and if there shall be no issue lawfully begotten, then I give, devise, and bequeath the same unto my raid nephew, Captain Thomas Garth, his heirs and as . signs for ever. And I do hereby give, devise, and bequeath, unto my said beloved son, Thomas Garth, all that my messuage or tenement and premises, be ing No. 32, situate, lying, and being, in. Grosvenor place, in the parish of St. James, in the city and liberty of Westminster, which I lately purchased of Sir Henry Hardinge, Knt., Commander of the Bath, to hold to him, my said son, Thomas Garth, his heirs and assigns for ever. And I do hereby give and bequeath to my said son, Thomas Garth, all my plate, linen, china, pictures, household goods and furniture, wine and other liquors, and live and dead stock, which shall be in and about the said mes suage or tenement in Grosvenor-place, and in and about my residence in Piddletown aforesaid, at the time of my decease, to and for his own absolute use and benefit. And I do hereby declare that all sums ' of money, which have been or shall be by me paid or advanced to or for my said son, for his preferment in the army or otherwise, have been and are intended to be gifts to him, and shall not be taken or consi dered us a debt or debts, due from him to my estate. From the great regard and affection which I ever entertained for the late Charles Boone, Esq., as well as for his daughter, Lady Drummond, I beg her Ladyship's acceptance of 100 guineas for the purchase of a ring, or any other thing she may choose as a memorial of my affectionate regard for her. I give and bequeath to Colonel Thomas Foster, 100/, Three per Cent. Consols. I give and be queath unto Mary Legg, wife of Thomas Legg, one annuity or clear yearly sum of 30/. to be paid to her by two equal half-yearly payments, on the 10th of January, and the 10th day of July in every year dur ing her natural life4to and for her own sole, separate, and independent use, and; so as not be liable to the debts, control, or engagements of her present or any future husband ; the first payment of the said an nuity to be made on such of the said days as shall first happen after my decease. And I direct that the said annuity shall be paid without any deduc tion for or on account of the legacy tax or duty, which I direct shall be paid out of my personal estate. And I do hereby give and bequeath unto William Lovell, of Piddletown aforesaid, the sum of 1,000/. Three per Cent. consolidated Bank An nuities free and clear of all deductions on account of the legacy-tax or duty, which I also direct shall be 'Ad out of my personal estate.

Consols, such three last-mentioned legacies to be in addition to what the several legatees thereof may be entitled to as my servants under the bequest hereinbefore contained. All the rest, residue, and remainder of my funded property, and all other my lands, tenements, goods, chattels, estate, and effects, of what kind soever and wheresoever, real and personal, not here inbefore given and bequeathed (after payment of my just debts, funeral and testamentary expences, and the legacies and annuities by this my will given and bequeathed), I give, devise, and bequeath unto my said nephew Thomas Garth, his heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, for ever, according to the natures and qualities thereof respectively; and I do hereby direct that my trustees and executors, and the survivor of them, and the executors and ad ministrators of such survivor, shall and may pay and reimburse themselves and himself all such reason able costs, charges, and expenses, as they or either or any of them shall or may sustain, or be put unto, in or about the execution of this my will; and also, that they, my said trustees and executors, or either of them, shall be charged and chargeable only with his and their own respective payments, acts, and wilful defaults, and not otherwise, and shall not be charged or chargeable with or for any sum or sums of money other than such as shall actually come to his and their hands by virtue of this my will, nor with or for any loss which may happen in and about the execution of all or any of the trusts hereby in them reposed, without their respective wilful de faults; and lastly, I do hereby nominate, constitute, and appoint my said nephew Captain Thomas Garth, and my dear nephew lohn Fullerton, of Thryberg park, in the parish of Thryberg, in the West Riding of the county of York, Esq., executors of this my last will and testament ; and I do hereby give unto the said John Fullerton the sum of 5001. for his trouble in the execution of this my will; and I do hereby revoke and make void all former and other wills by me at any time heretofore made, and declare this . only to be my last will and testament.

NATII. GOSTLING, CHAS. DYNELEY, Deputy Registrars JOHN lOCIULDEN, bn. 22; 1829. THE KING.—His MAJESTY'S health and spirits could not be better than they are at present. His MAJESTY'S uniform cheerfulness is the sulject of general remark and congratulation with those honoured by the proximity to the Royal person. The KING has determined to make the Castle his residence next week. His MA .t s'tv's intention is to remove in the middle or latter end of the week. The preparations in progress at the Castle for the Christmas festival are of the most extensive' and ,tnoit gorgeous description. The people of Windsor, yes, and the country at large, will feel grateful when they hear that the KING has signified his displeasure at the exor bitant profits derived through combination by some of the tradespeople ; and has resolved and declared his determi nation to have the Royal establishment furnished with its various articles of consumption from new sources, unless such articles are supplied at the fair prices current in London. We suggested a week or two ago, that it was the duty of the influential not to impose an unnece,sary burden on the poor by allowing themselves to be made the supporters of a bad system; and the KING, alive to the interests of the people, is no sooner advised, and satis fied by inquiry, of the existence of a very prejudicial abuse, than by a determination to check it he effects a present and local good, independent of the less immediate, bemuse more general one, of setting an example worthy the imita tion of the whole country.— Windsor Express. The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER are :expected to proceed from the seat of the Earl and Countess of VERULAM, near St. Alban's, Hertford, where they are at present staying on a visit, for the residence of the Marquis of SALISBURY, at Hatfield. Divine service was performed yesterday morn ing in the Private Chapel attached to the King's Palace, at Kensington, before the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, and their Royal Highnesses' household, by the Chaplain to the Royal Duchess. Mr. UNIVIN ADDINGTON left town on Saturday morning, to proceed on his mission to the Court of Spain. Mr. ADDINGTON took leave of his MAJESTY at the Court held on Monday at Windsor Castle. The American and Colombian Ministers had interviews with the Earl of ABERDEEN on Saturday at the Foreign Office. Sir GEORGE MURRAY arrived in town on Saturday from the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. The area in front of the King's new Palace in St. James's Park has been cleared of the numerous sheds in which the marble for the pavement of thegrand hall was polished, and other works connected with the building were carried on. During the late journey of the Duchess de BERRI, she stopped at breakfast with four ladies of her suite at an inn at Bezier, and was charged 700 francs for the repast, which was a very indifferent one into the bar gain. At another inn at Arles, she was charged 2,400 francs (about 964) for four repasts. The Duchess paid these extortions, but not without signifying her displeasure at them.—Court Journal. CHARLES KEMBLE'S beautiful dress in the character of Pierre, in the tragedy of Venice Preserved, is copied from the portrait of an Italian nobleman, painted by TITIAN. This chef d'ceuvre of the artist has, for many years, been deposited in the Louvre, at Paris. Miss KEMBLE was, on the first night of her performing Belvidera, so ill with lumbago and general cold, that she was compelled, every time that she quitted the stage, to repose on a sofa. We understand that Mr. KEBIELE has already received tempting offers frwn many of the large provincial theatres for his daughter to per form; but it is not intended to accept any of them for the present, as the fatigue at Covent-garden is almost too much for her constitution.— Court Journal. SURREY THEATRE.- MISS VINCENT'S benefit is fixed, we understand, for Tuesday (to•morrow,) when will be performed, for the second time at this theatre, the popular melodrama of The Briga n d ; - the petite drama entitled The Child of Nature; and Din- DIN'S musical entertainment of The Waterman. The parts of Amanthis and Willubnina, by Miss 'VINCENT, aided by the entire strength of the Company, will no doubt secure a full house. ELLISTON AND THE ELEPIIANT.—After MATnEws and YATES had secured the services of this great actress, some of the London managers tampered with the proprietor. He, however, resolved on preserving his faith with the Adelphi Managers, when ELLISTON, thinking to remove all scruples, asked the price of the animal. " Twelve thousand pounds," was the answer. "My dear Sir, I'll buy her. She shall fulfill all her en gagemeets, but I shall hare the copyright." The offer was declined. We understand that at the rising of the Court of Chancery on Friday, one of the KING'S Counsel, who had been present when the angry altercation we mentioned in our report of that day took place between the SOLICI TOR-GENERAL and Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, had an interview with the LORD CHANCELLOR on the subject, anti that he afterwards made some communication respecting that interview to Sir CHARLES WETHERELL. In the course of the same evening information was conveyed to a magistrate that a breach of the peace might probably result from the quarrel, and theteupon the SOLICITOR-GENERAL was held to bail. Since that period the friends of the parties have interfered, with a view to accommodate the difference, which we cannot help thinking is the most cause less that ever took place. Even professed fire-eaters would find it difficult to hinge a quarrel on a pretext so slight its that which seems to have given offence to Sir CHARLES WETHERELL; and, on consielering the years and the station of the parties, the whole affair has something too ludicrous for the grave reprehension it might otherwise provoke. The Exclusives" will excite more attention than any work of a similar class has done since " Tre maine." It will do this for several reasons : partly from its name, still more from the curiosity which has been raised respecting the alleged eminent station of its writer, but most of all from its intrinsic qualities and characteris tics. " The Exclusives" is emphatically and "exclu sively" a picture of fashionable life at the present day : we will add, in unqualified and unhesitating terms, that it is generally speaking at once the truest, the fairest, the most intelligible, and the most comprehensive picture of that life, which has yet been presented to the world. The Precis of the requisites necessary to an Exclusive will be read with as much interest in some quarters as with alarm in others. It presents us with an expose that no other mo dern novelist has yet dared to put forth.— Court Journal. Waterford ships more wheat and flour than Any other Irish port. Dundalk exported more oats last season than any other port in Ireland.— Waterford Chronicle. The following extract from an address, pro posing the formation of a College of Attorneys, which has been circulated among the profession, shows the increase in the number of attornies practising in the principal pro vincial towns, between 1819 and 1829 : 1818. 1822. 1829.

There are 251 applications for next Hilary Term, of which only eight are for the Common Pleas ; and this not an unusual disproportion between the number of applicants in the two Courts, HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.

It was exceedingly well contested, and won by Mr. Delme Radcliffe. Another steeple chase is to take place on Tuesday between the same gentlemen who rode last week, with the addition of Captain Campbell, A.D.C. and Mr. Bret. The starting place is not yet fixed.—Hampshire Telegraph. On Wednesday night, about eleven o'clock, a meteor of extraordinary size and brilliancy passed over Lough Mahon, shooting due North. There were about forty or fishing-boats out at the time. The light pro duced by this meteor was so intense, and the d.irkness which succeeded it so remarkable, that they all made tor shore, giving up their employ for the night. The oldest among the fishermen say, that they never witnessed a meteor of such magnitude.— Waterford Chronicle. PARIS, DEC. B.—The KING has left us for Compeigne, taking with him several cooks and scullions to reinforce the cuisine. His MAJESTY had a long con versation with M. DE POLIGNAC before his departure, and was for some time busily engaged in replying to a letter which he had received from England, and which report states to have been from the Duke of WELLINGTON.— About an hour previously to his setting off, he had a mes sage from the Russian ♦mbassador,. informing him that accounts had been received from St. Petersburg!' up to the 29th of November, at which time the EMPEROR had so much improved as to be able to walk about the apart ments of the Palace and see his Ministers. On Saturday last the KING visited the workshops of the two sculptors who arc engaged in executing two statues of Louts XVI., one destined for Paris, and the other (in bronze) for Bor deaux. Having examined these statues, and expressed him self perfectly satisfied with their resemblance, and the design and execution of them, his AfAJESTY visited the Trium phal Arch, which is erected at the Barrhr de l'Etoile,— The KING looked exceedingly well and/cheerful, and con versed frequently with his attendants. Doubtless the objects of these visits was to show himself in public; it having been represented to him, by the DAurtux, that at this moment he should endeavour to become poputir, and so give weight to the Ministry, who have been reproached with keeping him shut up in his palace, so that the com plaints of the people right never reach him.— Court Journul. SPIRIT OF TIM PUBLIC JOURNALS. The sixth Report of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests presents some biting matter for observation, but we can only refer to the titles the l) o articles, co u 1 leavingcountry, tsotfrsoe t tlel l igm i n e se d ;:_ e li t i a aal i sns l t s ai rb( f ei c ee : e r t t 8 :1 f e e w da o ;. 3 of I;:e d ve is n ' Tiol a i n ‘ d vill 7' b i e th ta ut th s e om en e d to ?rl ott, ; (i et p f l are re s t t ty freely coiicern. unter the A l moi axe o the i t: this wood enis the new teyott there stands Buckingham-palace, esti in'ated ad capanduni, at no more 2 - 32,700 t., but after that money had been voted, ; - ;;;!1 the work begun, estimated a second time at 433,600!.i besides a sum of 63,000/. for that tasteless and inappropriate plagairism from Bonaparte, the marble gateway now erect ing, and ler fees to Mr. Nrch and the trades people not does it appear that gven this sum ill of half a million will suffice; for !•licre is no assurance Otth that we shall not have supple mentary estimates to the amount of another half- , million or more, before the unwieldy, but mean and frivolous edifice is fit to reteive its destined inmates. The various improvernet ;:r the west end of the metropolis, and in the sevta-.41 parks, though fa . vottrably represented in the report, de serve to be well looked after; not so much for the plan or execution of the works, which arc manifestly advantageous to the public, but fur the pecuniary arrangements connected ,w;th them, which must be viewed with the more sub picion in the same degree in which they are in tricate and extensive.— Times. A letter from " A. 8.," in another column . , deserves some notice, in consideration of the feelings by which it appears to be prompted, and of the helpless and unoffending classes of stock holders for whom the writer pleads. It may, 4,-, very just and wise to substitute a fund beating 31 or 3 per cent. interest for one of 4 per cent.; but let the change be brought about fairly, with out any concerted schemes or manoeuvres between great political power on one side, and great mo nied influence on the other—such as playing with rates of discount, and taking new forms of security for loans, the effect of which is of necessity to make money more abundant, to lower intercet, to force up stocks, and to create facilities . for a financier, by: inflicting wretchedness on those who have none to help them. The last cqnvera sion of Fives into Fours was productive of much distress of families and females whose property was under trust, and who were compelled to take whatever terms might be offered them by Ministers : it was likewise attended with a con siderable increase to the capital of the public debt, and a corresponding retardation of the pro gress made by the sinking fund in its reduction. We repeat, that the measure of reducing interest may be politic, but that it becomes a question also whether some reference ought not to be made to the proportionate market-value of the several funds when the Chancellor of the Exche quer brings forward his alternative to the stock holders,; whose 4 per cent. capital has risen, from causes which they had no hand in pro ducing, to 4 per cent. above par, of " Give me up a fourth of your interest, or you shall lose 4 per cent. on your capital by the operation of being paid off." If this be justice, it is a harsh measure of justice.—Bid. A meeting is to be held to-morrow at the London Coffee-house, to petition the Legisia.. ture for the repeal of the Malt and Beer Duties. At present the Beer Duty falls exclusively on the poor, the Legislature having very considerably exempted those who brew their own beer from the operation of it—that is, deemed it reason able that poverty should be a ground for addi tional taxation. To remove the Malt Duty, and leave the Beer Duty, would be to exempt the rich altogether, an obvious extension of the ex isting partiality. We trust, therefore, that the people will petition for the removal of both the Malt and the Beer Duties. But it will not be enough to petition for the repeal of the duties. If we wish the people to return to their old par tiality for ale and beer, we must free the trade in these commodities from the monopoly under which it now suffers. It is the licensing pub lic-houses, which is the great cause of the dete rioration of the beer. We are not aware of any one reason for restricting the trade in beer which would not justify the restricting the trade in any other commodity ; and of this we arc certain, that whenever i❑ this country a discretionary power is given to any men, to grant or withhold a license to deal in any commodity, the power will be exercised for the benefit of the holder. Money or money's worth, in some shape or other, will always be exacted for the com munication of a privilege which is worth mo ney to the person who receives it. It has sometimes been said that the people of this country have little inclination for science ; but this must be understood with at least one excep tion—the science of jobbing, which is cultivated here as assiduously as in any country under the sun ; and the jobbing in licenses affords abund ant proof that Justices of the Peace are hot be hind any other class of citizens in their profi ciency in that science. The proper judges of public-houses arc the persons who require ac commodation in them, and not Magistrates ; and all that is necessary for the good government of the houses, and the security of the public against irregularities, is to subject them to proper regu lations, and to punish the violation of them by suitable penalties. It has been again and again proved, that the licensing houses, so far from offering any security to the public for good con duct, only promotes impunity, because the cul prit is always withdrawn in time, and his place supplied by another creature of the brewer.— The police regarding public-houses requires no aid from licensing, which indeed can serve no other purpose than that of establishing a monopoly, under which the brewers endeavour to force on the public the wretched stuff they designate by the names of beer and ale. The statement in " The Treatise on Brewing," pub lished by the Society for the Diffusion of Use ful Knowledge, that beer of the quality and strength of London porter can be made at pre sent by any one who chooses to be at the trouble for a penny-farthing a pot, has never been con tradicted. Are we to be astonished, then, that the poor should fly from this washy stuff to the gin-shop ? Every impediment is thrown in the way of the supply of en innoxious beverage of good quality, while the consumption of spirituous liquors has been favoured by lowering the duty. But while we would g i ve b eer f a ir play, we pro test against all interference with the supply o f ardent spirits beyond what is necessary for pur poses of revenue. What Burke says on this sub ject, in his " Thoughts and Details on Scarcity " is as applicrble now as ever :—" As to what is said (he observes), in a physical and moral view, against the home consumption of spirits, expe rience has long since taught me very little to re spect the declamations on that subject —whether

'' Undoubtedly the! c may be a dangerous abuse in th e excess of spirits s itnd at one time I ant toady to believe the abuse was f ere it.

It may be said, and, w. believe, with truth, that Burke has exaggerated the Asa:gages of ardent spirits, fted softened the unfavourable features of the pie suet.. The world, perhaps, would hare been as well as it is now if the alembic had never been discovered. However, be this as it may, we do not see how it falls within the province of the Legislator or the Magistrate to prescribe for the moral government of individuals. Our vices . , only come within the province of the Magistrate when others stiffer inconvenience from them. Wherever a faculty is given, that faculty may be abused. A man who can read may read noxi ens books. The privilege of publishing without restraint may be used to the dissemination of erroneous doctrines, and false views. Whoever possesses the means may indulge to excess in the pleasures of the table. The rich man may drown his senses in wine, and the poor man in e;iti. The wise will be moderate in their enjoy ments, and the imprudent immoderate. We know of no means by which excess can be guarded against, except the dispositions of individuals, which it is the business of instruction and not laws to improve. Of this, however, we are certain, that no men are entitled to erect themselves into judges of what indulgences ought to be allowed to others. We protest, therefore, against all reformations effected by Magisterial interference. Who shall draw the line of distinction between what is beneficial and what is hurtful ? And why should difficul ties be thrown in the way of those who wish ardent spirits, because some may avail them selves of the facilities to drink to intoxication ? The rubicond complexions of half the people in• easy circumstances you meet in the streets, are a proof of their drinking as well as eating more than is strictly necessary for their health ; but they would resent all attempt to regulate their indulgences according to any standard fixed by others. The poor people are entitled to the same liberty as the rich. When they violate the saws, punish them ; but do. not punish them by sumptuary laws. We have a strong suspicion that the brewers arc at the bottom of the outcry against shops for the sale of spirituous liquors, which has lately been made. As to the observa tions of the Police Committee, we hold them to be little better than twaddle. We do not be lieve that drunkenness has materially increased ; mid at all events we very much question whether the interference with gin shops would materially diminish it, while we are sure the power of in terference would be abused. The surest way of counteracting the inclination for gin is to place within the reach of the people some beverage which is more palateable to them. We protest, at all events, against any extension of this sys . em of petty Magisterial interference, under the pre text of improving the public morals.—Morning Chronicle. We have just received a pamphlet, publiAed by Mr. Cadcll, under the title of " Thoughts explanatory of the Pressure experienced by the British Agriculturist and Manufacturer ;" which places the case of the agriculturists a new light. The conclusions of the writer are some what startling—no other, indeed, than that foreign trade is injurious to the country. This mode of treating the subject is entirely ncw, and the praise of ingenuity cannot be denied to him. He commences with showing that food is raised at less expense in this country than in any other. " He was led. to this conclusion (he says) by information incidentally gleaned from Polanders, which induced him to think that the gloss produce obtained from equal extents of hind of average quality, in a term qf . .five or six years, was greater in England than in Poland— that the portion of such produce retained by the Polander for the use of his soil was a greater proportion of it than is reserved by the English landholder—that the human and animal labour employed in the production and transport to market of a given quantity of corn was defrayed by a less proportion of it in England twin in Poland." He enters into a variety of calcula tions to show that, measured in labourers' wages, the cost of wheat at Dantzic is one-eleventh more than in England, or as 34.8 to 32. Speak ing of the light soils, the cultivation of which in England had been said to be a great loss, he observes, " Through inattention to facts, undue weight has been given to this outcry, emanating from a correct principle erroneously applied.— The greater portion of the light, miscalled poor soils, was taken into cultivation, in consequence of the introduction of a new system of hus bandry, more peculiarly applicable to them than' to the heavy clay lands, previously considered to be the only productive soils. Land, before in capable of growing wheat, was rendered produc tive of it by the mode of feeding off the pre ceding crops, and, fertilized by a new system of husbandry and rotation of crops, and worked with much less labour than the heavy soils, it yielded a surplus produce little inferior to them." Accordingly, he shows, by a comparison of the prices of wheat and labour, that wheat is consi derably cheaper now than during the last cen tury. " It is in vain," says the writer, " to look to the opening of Ole corn trade for a h.:ligation of the pressure which is experienced—:cur sup ply may be drawn from a market nominally cheaper, but in reality dearer. The Polander will not part with his corn without being. indemnified for the taxes raised upon it in his own country ; and the amount of indirect taxation heretofore levied upon the prOdUce of our own land must be replaced b 3 direct imposts, in some form or o ther, for the 'maintenance of the revenue and the payment of the puhlic creditor. Our sup ply of food will, hi this case, be'obtained'at highet elementary cost of production, and with a greater super-added taxation." The theory of the author shortly stated ood being; raised and brou n olU to market at less cost in Eng thau elsewhere (taxation not taken into the account), to import food in return for manufac tures i 3 to obtain less for those manufactures than could be ol.tained at both; abd to throw the 7;hat-e: t f tal.tittioti, *ould have been litirtre hy 110:i tiOttsli agriculturist, exclusively on the uiltuttracturer. "It has been clearly esta wished (he observes) that the labourer in Eng land can earn, by a day's werk, a greater com mend of food 1it,,.,: the t'olander ; and he toast riectsntisiy Cotimmiftod by his labtinr & itiOre ero tiomiell supply t f those Matutftkettt'dis and com modities whiol Att . ?. Or would be exported from tlti tt - Aintry to Poland, such as cotton goods, cloth, metallic utensils, the products - of our colonies, &c. . . . The distress felt by him at this crisis, in various districts ) proteeds from ats'insufficient demand for his labour, and not from the proportion of wages absorbed in pro curing his quota of necessaries—this proportion being demonstrably less than must be expended in the acquisition of the same articles by the Po land r. " Proof has also been given of the greater efficiency of the English land and culti vation beyonth-those of Poland, and that the ex cess" 'bt the sirogtistss4 rate of the supplies from the former arises not from a cause extraneous to the comforts and conveniences of themianufac wring workmen, but from one inseparably con nected with them—in fact, from the employment of labour conducive even in a greater degree than his own to the national wealth, and more particularly of the public funds, the burden of which, by the discontinuance of that labour, must press with aggravated force upon the ma nufacturing class of the community. Whatever portion of manufacturing labour is kept in action, or whatever portion of the products of that labour is purchased by the proceeds of this fund, the exchange, so long as the main tenance of the fund is a condition imposed upon the manufacturing workman in com mon with his fellow subjects, is one a 5 ad vantageous as can be effected by him—the remuneration for his labour being secure, and, in so far as it is afterwards expended in purchases from the British agriculturist, exchanged fOr supplies at the lowest elementary costs. Thus no part of the demand for his labour derived from this exchange can be beneficially superseded. It follows, therefore, that the quantum of la- Lour to be put ;n action remaining undiminished, and a reduction in the condition of its supply, and, consequently, in its price, impracticable under the existing levies raised upon it, the fund from which it is to be defrayed must be upheld at its present amount ; in other words, our di vidends and rents, and consequently our taxes and our produce, from whence they flow. Such will not continue to be the case in the event of the introduction of foreign produce to any consi siderable extent. By the substitution of Polish produce for that of English growth, the price and total amount of the latter must be diminished, and, of course, the amount of the country's gross surplus and rents ; indeed, without that result, the substitution would be nugatory. But it has been proved that the rate of the vendible supply of the English produce, exclusive of the influence of taxation involved in the conditions of its supply, is lower than the .foteign; conse quently that the price of the foreign can only be less by reason of the levies (contributions to our Dividend Fund), which are foregone upon it. Admitting these conclusions to be correct, with a constant tendency in the producers of commo dities to increase in number faster than the sphere of demand for their labour can be ex tended, there is only one expedient by which the manufacturer can regain and retain an undimi nished power of procuring the necessaries and convcniencies of life—the introduction of more economical modes of manufacture, of more economical moving powers, or other improve ments to the like effect. In the course of the last century, by the application of steam power, of improved cotton, woollen, and flax-spinning machinery, and the various mechanical and phy sical inventions and processes, almost concur rently introduced into our manufacturing esta blishments of the foregoing articles, and of our iron, pottery, and other commodities—lig eco nomy of our productive powers kept pace with our progressive accumulation of wealth and capital, and a corresponding outlet and demand for the products of our very enlarged industry was pre served with few interruptions. The occasional checks to the prosperity of our manufacturing sys tem are caused bytwo inherent and counteracting principles—the constant tendency of manufac tured articles to °weep the demand for them, and the equally constant conjoined action of taxa tion and money accumulation in producing mo difications of its exchangeable value in different countries. Whenever the economy with which commodities are produced by a country possess ing superior skill and dexterity in manufactures ;$ counteracted by the difference between the exchangeable value of money in that country and in the marts supplied from it, the barrier op posed to the extension of its manufactures, so as to admit of the full employment of the increas ing number of its manufacturing labourers, can be removed only by addition to the money accu mulations of the foreign customers, made through their own exertions, or by the reduction of our own money accumulations, or by a reduction in the elementary costs of our manufactures, so as to enable a greater portion of the inhabitants of foreign States to become demanders, without lessening the number in the home market." Again, he says, " The community becomes hpledged to furnish, from the proceeds of its labour and capital, nearly 30,000,0001. per an num to Government, exclusive of the current expellees of 20 millions more—together 50 mil lions per annum. Every portion of labour, skill, and material exerted and fashioned for exchange must be charged with a proportional contribu tion towards the redemption of this common pledge, before any surplus can accrue effective for the maintenance of the individual by whom the labour is exerted and material fashioned. Here is, therefore, a constituent in the condi tion of supply of every commodity, unsusceptible of abatement or modification by the efforts of skill or industry, so long as the national an nuities and costs of Government are upheld at their present nominal amount and the range of demand is circumscribed within its present limits. The remuneration to the producer must be ade quate to defray the proportion-of this constituent charge attaching to the sun p ;t's (immediate elementary costs, and to tha . .00lYed in the price of the materials and: ools required in the production of his commodity If ne parts with it without such an indemnification, he becomes an insolvent trader ; and if the labourer parts with his labour without such a compensating , remuneration he becomes a pauper. Additional advances to Covet nneent fay stirim!atiog industry by extended demand., entail angineiltation of the national zinnulties anti enlianci;inctit of the tined cthiditions Of supply. This enhancement opposes an insuperable obstacle to an extended interchange of products with foreign States, and narrows even the existing range of demigod lin our commodities. 'l' htis +Are n't ade:- - quatt 'eotinteisietion, and at a barrier to the un limited extension of a system producing in the first instance high excitation and great apparent prosperity. A counteractive principle; the re sult of the cOniplitated action of taxation and concomitantly increased revenue, will l,a neces sarily disguised under intricate modifications; and aceordingiy; in the preceding remarks, its latent operation has been shown to paralyse our efforts by effects variously manifested, though emanating from a common cause. Another col lateral consequence of the funding system is to he noticed. The enhancement in the conditions of supply, and of course of price, was detrimen tally manifested in the first instance in those pro ducts of which labour formed the main con stituent, and with the least scope of counteract ing the effects of the additional change-upon it by the introduction of improved processes and. machinery. Agriculture, navigation, and the arts in which labour is employed in its simplest form, notwithstanding the introduction of great improvements, were first affected ; their products and remunerating charges were advanced beyond the corresponding rates of countries exonerated. from the levies comprehended in our prices • It was found in those arts, that our productive powers must be superseded by those of our less burthened rivals, or be protected by fiscal impo sitions charged upon their products. The range of our profitable industry, unless where main tained by improved skill and facilities, or by ex tending protection, became progressively circum scribed with the advance of taxation, till our labour and skill at length could no longer be brought into successful competition, excepting in conjunction with machinery of peculiar effi cacy, and ingenious processes not practised by our rivals. This sphere of successful compe tition will be successively narrowed as the pecu liarities by which it is maintained become com mon to both parties, and the participation cannot be avoided. From the earliest interference of foreign competition those producers not affected by it have contended for the right of drawing from our neighbours, free from countervailing imposts, the commodities offered by them ; and the claim continues to be preferred to the present time. Un less, however, the principles enforced in the preced ing observations are invalidated, the alleged policy and advantage of such an intercourse will not be realised by it, more especially in those commo dities with elementary costs of production (ex cluding the effects of taxation) exceeding those of the same products in this country. " The total assessment upon a country cannot be sup plied less onerously to the several branches of industry than when derived from the co-operation of the most efficient producers." So much for this new theory of the advocate of the Agricul turists. It seems hard to swallow the possibility of the country always producing, at a less ele mentary cost, food than any other country. If our population were tripled would this be the case ? Surely there may come a period when the elementary cost of raising food will be higher here than in some oilier countries, and when, consequently, industry will be more beneficially emphoed rising manufactures to exchange for food - than in esising food. To sliest—how much cheaper food is now than in the time of Henry VIII., the author has recourse to the Northumberland Household Book. " A No bleman eminently distinguished by magnificence and taste maintains an establishment of 160 persons, constant residents in the house, with many occasional followers, and in the permanent retinue has several individuals, gentlemen by birth and office, viz. the Comptroller, Chamber lain, Treasurer, &c., stations filled by Sir John Norton and others, his agents (see page 27), eleven priests, including a doctor and a bachelor of Divinity ; irr short, the whole Knights' table ; and he is no less munificent in his charities, comprehended also in his expenditure." The average expence was 1,2001. per annum ; the average price of wheat was 6s. 2d. the bushel. Oats are cheaper now, relatively to wheat, than at the date of the Household Book. "At the rate of 6s. 2ti. the quarter, the sum of the ex penditure, 1,2001., is represented by 3,891 quarters of wheat, or with the equivalent of this quantity of wheat, the expenditure was defrayed at the period of the Household Book. At the present time, 3,891 quarters of Wheat, at 52i. per quarter, would command the sum of 10,1161., • a sum totally inadequate to the maintenance of the retinue and splendour of this magnificent Earl ; or, in other words, as wealth quite inferior in potency to the proceeds from a similar quan tity of Wheat in 1512."—Ibid. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE On Saturday a considerable bustle was excited at the Mansion-house by a great variety of complain ants, who came forward to claim several articles of furniture, of which they stated that they had been fraudulently deprived by a man of the name of Simmons, who formerly kept a broker's shop at Newington. The complainants consisted of chair makers, bedstead-makers, looking-glaSs-makel s, watch-makers, and a whole hOst of tradespeople of almost every denomination. llerdsfield and White, two active officers, were despatched to the warehouse of Mr. Joel, a respect able auctioneer, where the articles had been depo sited for sale. Mr. Joel gave every assistance to the officers, when he understood the nature of the transaction, and, through his communication and their exertions, several of the poor hard-working people have recoVered their property. Simmons has not been found, but a youth, about 16 years of age, who has been keeping company with his daughter, lays claim to a considerable part of the furniture still on Mr. Joel's premises, on the ground that he had purchased them of Simmons. Further inqui ries are now in progress on the subject, and it is ex pected that many other tradesmen will come for ward, when the circumstance ha. , been made public, to identify the property of which they have been de prived. BOW-STREET. On Saturday night Mr. Loir, of Museum-street, Bloomsbury, came before Mr. HALts, and gave in formation of a robbery which had taken place in his house on the preceding day. The gentleman had let the entire of his house in Museum -street, reserving to himself the back pre mises, and had removed all his furniture and pro perty from the house, with the exception of some valuable articles, which he had left in a room on the second floor. These consisted of a gold watch, seals, and chain, a silver tea-pot, and other articles of plate, some ingots of gold, and amongst other things a large Mosaic, representing St. Peter's at Rome, the value of which he could not with any degree of accuracy state, as it was an exceedingly rare and beautiful specimen of Mosaic. The rob bery must have been effected some time in the course of the day, but how the thief or thieves ob tained access to the premises did not appear. Mr. HALLS recommended that bills, containing a ileeription of the strilEn propeity, should be imme ditit,cly pririt'c.d . and sent totinil to the different pawn lirhkers ; atio; ad a fijattcr of precaution, he advised diat Mr. Loir liimBelf, or driie person deputed by him, should see that the bills were so distributed.— IN all such cases it would be necessary to do so, as he (the Magistrate) understood that pawnbrokers' boys *ere in the habit of tearing up bills describing propelly, so feet they were seldom, if ever, seen by the pawnbrokers themselves. DradcacV AND HUMANITY OF PARISH OFFlctms. —The following shocking occurrence took place at this office, which called forth from the presiding Magistrate, TDOMAS HALLS, Esq., very strong ani-. Madveroions upon the conduct of parish officers : A Very clean and decent woman, about 39 years of age, arrived at the office door in a hackney coach, about one o'clock, in the care of Burke, the beadle of St. Clement Danes, for the purpose of being re tnoved to her legal settlement, Paddington. The poor creature was so very ill, that it was with much difficulty she could crawl from the coach to the Public Office, and Mr. Halls observing her situa tion—though he had not the remotest idea of the real cause of her illness—very humanely suspended other business to dispatch her removal. After tak ing the usual oath, she appeared to be much worse, and as she was leaving the back office, she groaned deeply and became ghastly pale. On descending the steps she fell into premature labour, and brought forth a still-born child. The beadle lifted her into the coach in the dreadful situation in which she was, and took -her instantly to Paddington, leaving the child—foe it was perfect in all its parts, and appeared tt have retained life for some time— on the paverneiti; - Goodson, the keeper of Bow street Office, removed the child, and informed Mr. Halls of the circumstance. • Mr. 1-.lAus expressed himself quite indignant that the woman should have been removed in her situa tion, and complained, as he had repeatedly done be fore, that the Overseers of St. Clement Danes, in !teed of attending themselves before the Magistrates in person, or by some proper representative, sent a beadle only. He directed an officer to go to St. Clement's 'Workhouse, and request the attendance of Mr. Crooke, the acting Overseer. Mr. Crooke in a very short time appeared, and Mr. HALLS said that it was disgraceful that the Overseers should hare removed a woman under such circumstances : her death might be the conse quence of her being hurried out of the parish all the way to Paddington, and if that should be the result, he would take care that the Overseers should be prosecuted. The scene which had been exhibited in the street in front of the office was re volting to every feeling of delicaey and humanity. Mr. Crooke said that the woman complained only of a pain in her limbs when she was at the workhouse that morning. Mr. HALLS—She was not in a fit condition to be removed, that is very certain. Perhaps you were afraid of the child being born in your parish ? Mr. Crooke—When she complained of being un well a coach was ordered for her. Mr. HILLS—She could not walk, and ought not to have been removed; and I repeat, the Overseers shall most unquestionably be held responsible if the poor woman's life should be sacrificed by their mis conduct. Mr. Crooke bowed and quitted the office. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Butler, Mary Butler, Charles Box, Mary Pickett, William James, and Jane Simpson, were charged with housebreaking. The prisoner, Mary Butler, is a remarkably handsome and fashionable looking female, and celebrated in the theatrical sa loons as a dashing courtezan. Butt, r passes as her husband, but it is believed that he is only her " fancy man ;" and he cohabited with her at No. 80, Drum mond-street, Euston-square, which the new police have discovered to be a general depot for stolen pro pel ty. On Sunday morning last, during the absence of the family of Mr. Baylis, a grocer, in High-street, Portland-town, the prisoner James Butler, who on the three previous Sundays had _been seen lurking about the neighbourhood, -approached Mr. Baylis's house, and, with the aid of skeleton keys, delibe rately walked in through the street-door, which he shut after him. Mr. James, a neighbour, observed the whole of his prcc'cdings, and saw two men, re sembling James and Box, standing near the spot at the time Butler entered. An alarm was given; the police surrounded the house, and on Butler making his appearance at the back door, he was secured.— Mr. Baylis'a bed-room was broken open, and the contents of the drawers were strewed about the floor ; the plate and Miss Baylis's trinkets were picked up on the stairs. A policeman, on searching Butler's house, found a cart-load of stolen property, consisting of every variety of wearing apparel, silver plate, and gold and silver watches. In the back kitchen a large chest was found, filled with phos phorus boxes, ales, screw-drivers, skeleton-keys, and every other description of house•breaking imple ments, and also a box containing 70 so% ereigns, which Mary Butler attempted to seize. James Butler said that " Charley Box" and James, who keeps a green-grocer's shop, were " in it" as well as himself, and they were also apprehended ; but he said that they had time to remove any " swag" (stolen property) which they might have had in their possession, and if the officers had been an hour later they should not have found any at his house. Mr. Tianewel, of Junction-terrace, Edgware road, whose house was broken open on the 22d inst., when property of about 601. value was stolen, identified a chinchilla tippet, some bracelets, and an eye-glass, found at Butler's, as his property. Many other felonies are expected to be brought home to the prisoners, who were remanded for a final exa mination. The case seemed to excite great inte rest, and the office was crowded to excess during the investigation. QUEEN-SQUARE. A barber, who resides near Rochester-row, was charged with causing two children to become chargeable to the parish. The barber, it appeared, had a notice posted in his window, " Children taken into nurse by the day." On Monday a female called at his shop and said she wished her two children—one 18 months, and the other four years of age—to be boarded and lodged for the day. -They were accepted, but the woman never called for them afterwards, and the barber was compelled to call upon the parish to support them. The barber pleaded, that owing to the distress of the times, he was unable to afford the children the least relief, for gentlemen now-a-days were in the habit of being shaved only once a week, instead of every day, and the cold weather was not favourable to the growth of beards. The Magistrate said the parish must support the children, and advised the barber to remove the bill from his window. LAMBETH-STREET. Thomas Dean, the young man who our readers will recollect was last week brought to this office on a charge of highway robbery, was brought up on Saturday for re-examination. The prosecutor had, it was supposed, been kept out of the way by the friends of the prisoner, and we cannot too highly praise the exertions of those active and indefatigable officers, Pendergast and Miller, in endeavouring to throw light upon the affair. After a great deal of trouble, the prosecutor, John Gay, came forward, He stated that on Sunday, the 6th of November, be had been drinking from seven o'clock in the morning until ten, with some friends, and was on his return home through Shadwell, when he met the prisoner and another man, who forced their conversation upon him, and they ultimately went into a public-house and had a pint of ale together. In the course of conversation the prisoner and his com panion said they were going on an excursion up the river, and asked him (prosecutor) if he would re commend them a Waterman. He said he could, and they insisted upon accompanying him to fetch the waterman. They accordingly all started toge tiler, and when they arrived in Three Cup-court the prisoner knocked him down and snatched his watch i chain, which broke, and the prisoner and the other man both ran off, but dropped the chain and seal, Which he picked rip. Ile could positively swear that the prisoner was the man who knocked him down. The prosecutor admirtel that be was into:Ccated at the time.—The prisoner was remanded. ElizahA 31. 4 1Vantirti, the tvornatt charged with committing the extensive robbety in New Rutland street, Mile-end-road, was brought up on Saturday for re-examination, after which she was remanded. A carter, named Nicholls, was fined 40s. on Sit . - turday for riding in his cart in the Mile-end-road. WORSIIIP-STREET. ROBBERY ANI ASSAULT AT WHITE CONDUIT HOUSE.—Saturday 111 r. John Mont-house, the pro prietor of the While Conduit-house, at Pentonville, was charged by Mr. Charles Sloman, with having violently ass.tulted and beaten him. Mr. Sloman, a few evenings ago, went to the White Conduit-house, accompanied by a lady lately arrived from America, his wife, and brother-in-law, for the purpose of showing the American lady a spe cimen of English manners and customs, and afford ing her an evening's recreation, which he knew the entertainments at this place of amusement were ca pable of affording, and had only been there a few minutes when, to his surprise, he found several of the company drunk. Mr. BROUGHTON—I am sorry to say that is a true specimen of English manners among a certain class of people. Mr. Sloman—Dancing had commenced, and the lady was going down a country dauce, when a per son suddenly thrust his hand bun her bosom. I immediately remonstrated upon the indelicacy of such gross conduct, when I was assailed by eight or ten persons and knocked down. 1 called out for assistance, when Mr. Monkhouse came. into tJ3e room, and upon inquiring the cause of the disturb ance several persons surrounded him, and said then were good customers to him, and that one had spent 10.. in his house that evening, another 1/., a third 305., and so on, and told him that I and the lady I had introduced into the room were a complete nui sance, and demanded our immediate expulsion ; upon which, w i thout further ceremony, Mr. Monkhouse forced me out of the room, and struck me several times. He then threw me down stairs, and ran down after me; at the bottom of the stairs he kicked me violently, and broke the crown of my hat in. In the course of the scuffle, the American lady had a gold chain stolen from her neck, which was attached to a gold watch. I will not swear to the person who insulted the lady or that stole her watch-chain; but I see a person in Court who I think did both. Mr. BROUGHTON—Point him out, and let him stand forward. A respectable-looking man stepped forward, and gave his name Theodore Hicksman, a Custom house agent, but denied having any participation in the affray. An elegantly-attired female, possessing consider able beauty, was next sworn—She gave her name Emma Nash, and was the wife of a respectable sur geon. She had been in England about six weeks, end corroborated Mr. Sloman's statement. She could swear that Mr. Hicksman knocked Mr. St°. man down, and Mr. Monkhouse afterwards seized Mr. Sloman by the throat. Mr. Monkhouse, in his defence, said that Mr. Stonien commenced the affray, and that the state ment of the gold chain having been stolen was en tirely a fabrication, as he had cautioned the lady on going into the room to remove it from her neck, it being too valuab4 to be safe among so many strangers. She took his advice, and he saw her take the chain from her neck and give it to Mr. Slorsan, who put it in his pockets This the lady positively denied upon her oath. It wee also denied by Mr. Sloman, who called his wife and brother-in-law to corroborate his. evidence. Mr. Monkhouse then stated that Mrs. Nash was dressed so very indelicate that she . disgusted every respectable female in the room. Her neck was en tirely bare, and her language was of the lowest and most blackguard description. She swore like a trooper.—(A laueh.) Mr. BROUGHT 3e ! I don't believe a word you say unless you are supported by evidence. Mr. Howell, a professional singer, was then called, who swore that Mr. Sloman struck the first blow, and that the lady's gross conduct and indelicate manner of dressing attracted the attention of the whole company, and occasioned general disgust. Mr. D. W. Rae, the conductor of the ceremo nies, had been in company of every description and in many countries, but he never beheld a female ap pear in a public room in such an indelicate and indecent manner as the lady in- question, nor one that occasioned such general disgust throughout the company. (Here the witness, at the request of the Magistrate, detailed a more minute description of the dress, hut which was too indelicate for insertion.) As for her language, he never heard such a round hand; it could scarcely be equalled in St. Gilee's or Billingsgate. Mr. BHOUGHTON—I was never placed in such a situation in my life one party or other must be perjured. Mrs. Nash did not think it possible that three such respectable-looking men could be found in England to vilify a respectable female by deliberate and corrupt perjury. She had for some years inva riably worn flannel, which covered the whole of her neck, and it would prove of serious consequence if she omitted wearing it one evening. She had got the flannel on now, and wished the Magistrate to satisfy himself of the impossibility of any part of her neck being seen. (She here showed the Magistrate sufficient to satisfy him of the truth of the assertion.) The flannel was the same now as it was on the night in question. Her dress was also consistent with the greatest propriety. Mr. Woman and three other witnesses corro borated Mrs. Nash as to the propriety and delicacy oilier dress, and referred to Mrs. Sloman'' dress, it bring of the same make. Mr. BROUGHTON, after consulting with his bro ther Magistrate (Mr. Wilson), said—We have taken nearly three hours to investigate this most extraor dinary case. That one side is perjured there can be no doubt. I shall, therefore, leave you to your re medy upon that head in another Court. It is our .duty to come to a conclusion upon the assault. which, we think, hasiseen clearly proved to be of the grossest nature. As to the defence set up about the indelicacy of the lady's dress, and her coarse lan guage, we do not think that a lady of her appearance and manners, and the wife of a respectable surgeon, could be guilty of an offence which the commonest street-walker would refuse tc do if she was paid for ir. Her uppearance indicates nothing but respect ability, though she did not go the way to maintain it by mixing in such company. I don't mean to say that your house is not respectable, but I think it is not a fit place for respectable females to visit. Mr. iNlonkhouse said, that the ball was got up by the clerks of Messrs. Reid and Co.'s brewhouse, which was a proof of its respectability. Mr. BROUGHTON—I need not dwell on that sub ject. I thick you ought at least to have had some females to speak to the indelicacy of the lady's dress. It is not customary for gentlemen to be shocked at such sights. I therefore convict you in the sum of 51., including - costs. Mr. Monkhouse paid the fine and the parties withdrew. :UNION-HALL, A man named Wolger was committed on a charge of stealing two horses, the property of Mr. Taunton, the barrister. Ths prisoner, who made a confession of his guilt, was fully committed. We are given to understand, that it is deter mined forthwith to abolish the Check Offices in the dif ferent Dock-yards, the mustering duty of which is trans ferred to the Master-Attendant's Office, and the money transactions to the Navy Pay Office. A portion of the detail of the Check Office will fall under the more imme diate cognizance of the beveral Commibsioners of the Dock-yards. The gentlemen who fill the situations of clerks of the check will be transferred to other appoint ments. The piece-work is to be done away with, awl the men are to work six days instead of ere, for the same wage s....—Plyntouth Journal.

By JOSEPH GUY, Formerly of the Royal Military College, and Author of a Chart of General History, Pocket Cyclopedia, School Geography, Elements of Astronomy, British Spelling Book, &c. &c. London : printed for Baldwin and Cradock. '*,,* This work has been compiled by the author with unusual care and attention to the wants of Teachers. His long and successful practice in the education of youth must always give his books a decided preference over the genera lity of School Treatises, had they no other merit ; but Mr. Guy's school books possess higher claims ; they are more perfect in arrangement, snore choice in selection, and more classical in style than any of the elementary works that have preceded them. Their extensive sale is proof enough of their value perhaps; but large as it is, the publishers doubt not but every year will add greatly to their circula tion ; at present the annual sale of the whole is not short of SIXTY THOUSAND ! and when the " GENERAL SCHOOL QUESTION BOOK" has taken its station (where it soon will be) in every respectable school in the empire, the total sale of these admirable School Books must be greatly increased. Teachers will see in this (Mr. Guy's latest and most finished work,) his intimate knowledge of the wants of schools ; and, in the arrangement, the power he possesses of abridging the anxious labours of school business.

This Atlas has been comoiled front the best Autho rities, and contains all the late Discoveries of Parry, Wed dell, Denham, and Clapperton. But its principal claim to attention is founded on the entire novelty of the plan ; each Map presents, not only the geographical outlines of countries, but a series of numbers affixed to the Moun tains, Rivers, and Cities, which indicate their compara tive rank, and enables the Student, by reference to the Table of Classification, to discover their actual magnitude. The Isothermal Chart exhibits the Climate of different Regions, as determined by Thermometrical Observation, with their most important productions, and presents a striking illustration of the diversity existing in the same Latitudes according to the situation of countries. In the Moral and Political Chart, the outlines of each country contain a number, showing its Population, and several emblems indicatinc , its Government, Religion, and State of Civilization, and forms in effect a Moral Picture of the World.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff for the recovery of the price given for a horse, which proved to be unsound. It was tried before Mr. Serjeant ARABIN about tivo months or, and the Jury found for the defendant. Mr. BOLLAND now moved that thr verdict be set &side, upon the ground that John Salmov,Oße of the Jury, was sworn upon the New Testament, although A the Jewish religion. Mr. Serjeant ARABIN desired to look at the affi davits. One of the affidavits, Mr. BOLLAND said, was from an elder of the Jewish synagogue at the west end of the town—a person of weight in that church. This deponent swore that he had known John Sal. , non many years, and always knew him to be a..few. That after the trial John Salmon declared that ha was a Jew, and that he would depart this life in the same persuasion. Mr. MILLEIIOUSE submitted, upon the part of the defendant, that the verdict ought not to be disturbed. The Juryman objected to might have been a Jew i rreviously, and changed his religion. The affidavit .lid not go fur enough. Mr. BOLLAND said that Salmon was a Jew, and hoped to die a Jew. Mr. MIREHOUSE said, that Salmon might have talked of dying a Jew in a joke. The Court could not disturb the verdict without some more tar.ip_rb? reason than had been stated. Mr. Serjeant ARABIN said, the affidavits certainly were not strong enough to sanction the disturbance Jf the verdict. . Mr. BOLLAND wished to know what additional affidavits might be considered necessary. Mr. Serjeant ARABIN could only act upon what was brought before him.

BRAZIL. The ordinary Session of the Brazil Legisliittire opened on the 3d of May last, by a Speech horn the Throne, of which the following is a copy : " August and worthy Representatives of the Brazilian Nation,— " The Extraordinary Session is finished. Ipride myself on being able to announce to this Assembly, that the relations of friendship and good understand ing between me and the different Sovereigns of Europe, as well as the States of the American Coil tinent, continue firm and unchangeable. I have ra tified a Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with the King of Denmark ; an additional article has been added to the Treaty of 1826, concluded with the King of France, and an especial Convention has been concluded with the same Sovereign; and, finally, I have concluded the preliminaries of peace with the Government of Rio de la Plata. " All those acts will be presented to you by my Minister the Secretary of State for this department. Thinking it my duty to watch over the interests of my well-beloved and dear daughter, the reigning Queen of Portugal, I resolved that she should pro ceed to Europe, where ske found her Throne in the possession of a usurper. " Although I am resolved to enter into nocom. , promise with this usurpation, I am equally firm in the princple not to endanger, on that account, the tranquillity and the interests of this empire. The order anti the internal security of our provinces, which enjoy perfect tranquillity, has only suffered in Pernambuco, where an anarchical party dared, in disregard of all considerations, to raise the standard of rebellion, against which the Government has been obliged to take extraordinary measures. It was my religious duty, in such a case, to raise the sword of justice, as I shall always do with equal energy against any party which may dare to attack our monarchical, constitutional, representative . form of Government. " The abuse of the liberty of the press, which, unhappily, has been propagated with notorious scan dal over the whole empire, demands the most serious attention of the Assembly. It is necessary to repress' an evil which in a short time must be productive of the most fatal results. " The affairs of the Treasury, which I have re commended to you, must continue to deserve your particular care and zeal in the present Session. They constitute the weightiest and most glorious part of the task which has been committed to you, and I hope that they will engage your attention with a fervour equal to the solicitude which I feel for the prosperity of Brazil. " I recommend to you anew the administration of justice. The constitutional system imperiously demands the complete organization of the judicia power. To aid the development of our agriculture, it is absolutely necessary to facilitate the entrance, and to promote the acquisition of colonial farmers, who augment the numbers of labourers, of whom we stand so much in need, a law of naturalization, ac commodated to our circumstances,• and a good re gulation for the distribution of our uncultivated lands, whose progress has been paralysed, Nvotild by useful for that purpose. Such are the objects which it appears to me necessary to recommend to the patriotism and wisdom of the General Assembly. I reckon upon your firm co-operation in !lie . under taking which I thus propose in establishing tof glory and the splendour of my Imperial Throne la the prosperity of Brazil. .The ordinary Session is opened."

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. WAR IN THE EAST. OFFICAL RUSSIAN ACCOUNT WARSAW, JUNE 10 (22).—The rout of the Ottoman army has been so complete, and the pursuit confided to General Ccunt Pahlen executed with so much vigour, that, with the exception of some ca valry, who appear to have fallen back towards Aide s , the remains of this army have not been able to rally tiny where. The Grand Vizier had suc eeeded in getting into Shumla, accompanied by a keble escort of cavalry. Our parties of Cossacks twought in every moment fresh transports of pri soners,_ cannon, baggag e , an d co l ours , ta k en f rom the Turks in their flight. The number of cannon taken amounts already to nearly 60, and the loss of the enemrin killed is about 6,000 men. Ours was also considerable in the battle of the gOrit of May (11th June), and amounts to 1,400 killed, and 600 wounded, amongst whom are two Generals. A body of 1,500 horse, with infantry, having left Shumla, probably to watch our movements, lied oc cupied with the infantry and artillery two of tke redoubts which we had constructed last year. The cavalry had marched forward to cover them. Gen. Roth, who was proceeding to the village of Ma rascl,, having observed the cavalry, ordered forthwith General Prince Mendatoff to make a charge with 'erne squadrons of the hussars of Alexandria and Akhtyr, and six pieces of light artillery. This charge completely succeeded; the enemy was overthrown, and fell back with the loss of two standards. In the pursuit of this detachment, the General found himself under the fire of one ef the redoubts, but, immediately making a part of hi: hussars dismount, he Marchelat their head, and in a moment carried the redoubt, where the Turks left two cannon and btandards. The second redoubt was occupied by nearly 500 men, protected by a battery, which showered grape shot upon our troops. After having re-formed his detachment, and united ome companies of chiFsenrs and infantry, Prince Metubitoff ordered en attack with the bayonet, in stead of answering the fire of the Turkish musketry, and cnrried the redoubt. Five cannon and twelve standards were the riephies of this brilliant feat; but the exci:emcbt of the soldi , ,Ts was such that few rlisoners were taken. The enemy left near GOO dead on the spot, and we lost 100 in killed and I wounded. The Imperial army %vas full of ardour, notwith standing the fatigue of five consecutive forced marches, followed by a battle, which was disputed for some hours with the greatest fury. ELECTION OF FRANCIS JEFFREY, ESQ. AS DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF ADVOCATES. (From the Caledonian Mercury of Thursday.) Yesterday at two o'clock, the Faculty of Advo• rates met, pursuant to appointment, in the Court room of the Second Division, for the purpose of electing one of their number to fill the high and im• Lortant office of D ean , vacant b y t h e elevat i on of ord Moncreiff to the Bench. The meeting was taunt:ally full, the Court-room, both within and without the bar, being completely crowded. The Vice-Dean, Mr. Thomas Thompson, having taken the chair, the minutes of the previous meeting, em bodying Lord Moncreiff's letter of resignation, and the reply of the Dean's Council thereto, were read by the clerk ; after which the Solicitor-General, in aa speech distinguished alike for high feeling and just discrimination, proposed Francis Jeffrey, Esq. Ad vocate, as, in all respects, the most proper person to fill the vacant office. Mr. Cockburn, evidently under the influence of strong feeling, rose to second the Solicitor-General's motion. When Mr. Cockburn had concluded, the motion of the Solicitor-General was carried by acclamation; and Mr. Jeffrey took the chair amidst the hearty and honest cheers of his professional brethren. At this gratifying. moment, when the unanimous voice of those who had known him so long and so well placed_ him at their head, and greeted with the most cerdial . l4eclamations hi occupation of that chair which h'e'is so signally qualified to adorn, Mr. Jeffrey seemed to be struggling with almost overpowering emotion, and a few seconds elapsed before he was able to address the Faculty in the capacity of their newly appointed Dean. '1 his, however, he at length did, in a subdued tone, but with a felicity, graceful ness, and propriety altogether inimitable. With the Dean's address the business of the meeting ter minated, but numbers crowded around him to offer their felicitations on this truly interesting occasion.

PARIS, JULY I.—A letter from Constantinople, Of the Bth of June, says that M. de Royer, the Mi . , Mater from Prussia to the Porte, who left Naples with Mr. Gordon and Count Guilleminot, had al ready arrived in the capital of the Ottoman etuplre, and that the two other Ambassadors from whom lie had parted off the islarld of Andros, and who had sailed for Vouria, were expected at Constantinopl e the next day, or the day after. The journals of the south contain numerous de tails respecting the affairs of Catalonia. We extract the following : " PERPIGNAN, .I . t.i:s'E 22.—The arrests continue in Catalonia. The Count D'Espagne is gone from Olot to Campredon, and he is shortly expected at Puyeercla. His presence inspires terror wherever he goes. He is causing the citadel Figneries to be armed and provisioned, as if the enemy was at the gates of the place. lie does not permit any persons to enter, except those of chose fidelity lie is perfectly certain," A letter front the same town, of the 23d, says,— "We learn to-day, that affairs of the highest im portance summon Baron Romain to the French Cer &pc,. It is reported that he is to have ins interview oath the Captain-General of Catalonia, in the neigh bourhood of Puyeerda." Lastly, a letter from Toulouse says— " Every day there arrives from Perpignan, Spanish refugees irnplieated in the late affairs of Catalonia.

The Revenue for the current quarter will not be made up till a late hour to-night.- It gives us pleasure, however, to be able to state tin contradiction to the statements made in some of th,2 daily journals) that if there is any decrease at all, it is of a very trifling character. Returns up to the begining of last week showed an in. crease on the total amount ; but is now thought there will be a small decrease, although as we before said, of a very billing amount, when compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. Another Russian Bulletin has just appeared, by reference to which it will be seen that the GRAND ViziErt has effected his return to Shumla—probably with a large portion of his army, for the pursuit was conducted in a very bungling manner, notwithstanding all the Bulletins to the contrary. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY had a long interview with the Duke of WELLINGTON this morning in Downing-street. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office this afternoon, the summonses for which were issued last night. Count VILLA nort arrived at Terceira on the 23(1 of June, and assumed the command of the Island. He contrived to break through the blockading squadron in a merchant•vessel-- an attempt as hazardous as it was daring. He immediately addressed a spirited order of the day to the troops, and a Proclamation to the people —for neither of which we have room. American Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 9th June, from New York. We understand from the spirited proprietor of the above esta blishment, that the packet-ship Caledonia, from New York, has arrived off Liverpool, having sailed from New York on the 16th June, but the letters and papers will not be up before to morrow night. The papers to the 9th contain an account of a most deplorable accident that befel the celebrated American steam frigate the Fulton, which was rendered a complete wreck by the explosion of some barrels of powder in her magazine. The loss of life was very severe. The officers were seated at dinner when the ex plosion took place ; but we refer our readers to another column for full particulars of this dis- :ressing event. Mr. JEFFREY, we perceive, has at last been elected Dean of the Faculty of Advocates, an honour which has given great and deserved satis faction to the inhabitants of Edinburgh. Never yet did election fall upon a worthier candidate. Take him in almost every department of intellect, as a lawyer —a critic—a philosopher—a rhetori cian—a scholar—and Mr. JEFFREY will be ton id equally eminent.

His wit is of the most dazzling character, yet though often superabundant is never forced, or stiff or inapposite ; his power of imagery is lavish in the extreme ; and his mastery over language, which is invariably malleable and tractable in his hands, is the despotic mastery of a Russian Despot over his Serf. As a lite rary man, he is an honour to the country which gave him birth ; as the sta nen supporter through every vicissitude of good and evil report, of civil and religious freedom, be is far from being over paid even by his appointment as Dean of Faculty " A man," says SWlFT—and if ever any one kn , ew the world, it was the incomparable author of the Tale of a Tub—" is always temperate and collected, in proportion to 6^ justice of the cause he advocates." By applying this apho ridm to the True Blue Club dinner—some ac count of which appears in our columns of to-day— our readers will not fail to perceive at one dance, who were right and who were wrong in the opi. nions they upheld at that notable ovation. On the side of the Liberal party, appropriately repre sented by Mr. BRAAIsToN, they will find tempe rate and constitutional doctrines iulvocated in a tem perate and constitutional spil it ; and on the side of t! Bruuswickers, of whom Sir HENRY SMYTH seems to be the characteristic Corypheus, they will meet with absurd notions enforced with equal absurdity. This ingenious Baronet, in a speech "of considerable warmth, pledged himself that at the next election, if a vacancy occurred in the representation of the county, he would not sup port Mr. BRANISTON. On the contrary, he would hunt the country for a candidate to oppose him, and in the event of his not being successful, he would do so himself.' Why this dreadful threat, our readers will natu rally ask ? Simply because Mr. BItAAISTON sent " his `two sons to Oxford to vote for Mr. PEEL !" Atrocious act ! unparalleled effron tery! But granting that Mr. BRANISTON— and this is making a pretty large concession— has really been unwise in his Fupport of Mr. PEEL, pray why is the county to be punished for his indiscretion ? Why is Essex—harmless nnoffending Essex—to be visited by the serious affliction of having its intellect and liberality re presented by Sir HENRY SMYTH, simply because Mr. BRAMSTON in the exercise of a justifiable discretion (to say the least of it), has thought fi to support Air. PEEL ? Really, the punishment as much exceeds the offence, as if a Member, for having fallen asleep over one of Mr. SAM• LER'S best speeches, should be compelled to wade throuo Mr. BANKES'S Constitutions' History of Rome.

The inhabitants of Northwich, Cheshire, have presented Lord ELnos with a fine Cheshire cheese, painted and beautified in the style of a twelfth cake. Lord NORTHWICK, at his audit on Saturday last, at Ketton, near Stamforl, directed his agent to allow his tenants an abatement of 15 per cent. fro:n their half year's rents due at Lady-day last. In the French Papers of Wednesday, which arrived last night, we find a continuation of the debates on the budget. M. HYDE DE NEUVILLE, the Minister of Marine, brought forward on the previous day, in the Chamber of Deputies, the navy estimates. Neither his Excellency's speech. nor the speeches which followed, con• tained disclosures of much interest in England. The ex pences (if the Fr:Reli navy ate this year fixed at 63,212,252 f., or about 2,500,0001. sterling; and the number of armed vessels afloat is stated at 128, among which the,e are only one ship of the line and 14 frigates. In comparing the naval resources of France with those of England, /M. DE NEUEILLE stated that the latter pos sessed 338 steam-vessels, which, in case of emergency, could be seized by the Government and employed in tow ing its slips of war. After detailing the stations of the different vessels which compose the 12S ships constituting the nary in actual service, the Minister entered into a his tory cf the French marine, and its numerical strength at difG rent epochs. In 1814, France had, employed and in dock, 73 ships of the line ; in 1816, 72 ; in 1817, 68 ; in 1819, 65 ; in 1824, 61; in 1825, 59 ; in 1828, 56 ; and the number afloat, and constructing, in 1830, will be 52. In 1814, France had in frigates, 42; in 1823, 45 ; in 1821, 47 ; in 1828, 52 ; and in 1829, 55. On the let of January next, the number will amount to 63. Thus, between 1814 and 1830, there will be a difference of 21 ships of the line in favour of 1814, and 21 frig. tea in favour of the latter period. cceded only by his judgment ; his judgment, one of the most distinguishing faculties of his mind, only by his eloquence. In _this last faculty indeed he is confessedly un rivalled. There is no living author from whose • • - 0 ' LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. J UDC 31 ENT.-- COVENT GA IME THEATE.E. CONST V. HARRIS. The LORD CHANCELLOR. gave judgment to-day in this case, in which the plaintiff Mr. Const, complained that the deed of 1812 had been departed from, and its pro visions infringed. By that deed certain chargt and debts were to be paid out of the rents and profits of the theatre in a certain cause. Mr. Coast complained that the pro ceeds of the theatre had been applied by the defendants in a different manner, end that they had altogether neglected the provisions of the deed. Upon this state of thinge Mr. Const filed his bill, praying certain inquiries might be directed, accounts taken, and an order made for the sale of the property. When the case came before the Master of the Rolls, Iris Honour directed that the Master should enquire whether any of the debts enumerated in the schedule remained unsatisfied, and to what extent; whether any of the profits and rents of the theatre, which were applicable by the provisions of the deed of 1812, to the discharge of certain debts, had been misapplied, and in case the Master should find la favour of the misapplication, by whom that misapplication had been made, and whether that had taken place by the acquiescence of the parties to the deed of 1812. From these inquiries the parties had appealed. His Lordship considered, as far as the question turned upon the misapplica tion of these funds and the infringement of the deed of 1812, these inquiries would enable the Court to decitl,. the whole question arising on the case. That being his impression he could come to no other decision than that the Master of th e Rolls was perfectly correct in directing the inquiries he had done. But it was said that a direction ought to have been made for the sale of the whole property. Look ing at the circumstances before him in the present case, his Lordship thought there was not sufficient to justify the Court in directing a sale of the property—nothing to sa tisfy his mind that such a course ought to be adopted. The 'Court was clearly, of opinion that the present inquiries should be proceeded with, because from their result pro bably an end might be put to the proceeding► entirely, and ordered the judgment of the Master of the Rolls to be con firmed, with 101. costs. COST V. lIARRTS. Mr. PEPTS presented a petition from Messrs. Kemhle, Willett, and Forbes, praying that a sum of 19,000/., now in Court, might he paid out to meet the expellees of the theatre. The petition further prayed, that if this order was refused, that the sums of 1,100/. and 2,000/. might be paid, besides the rent due to the Duke of Bedford. This was opposed be the Solacrron-GENanAr. and Mr. JAIVIcs, on behalf of Mr. Harris, and by Mr. HoaNE and Mr. BtcxERSTETII for Mr. Coast. They all" how ever agreed that the rent should ha immediately paid out of the fund to the Duke of Bedford, together with the costs of ejectment brought by his Grace. After a pro tracted argument, The Lonn CHANCELLOa made an order fir the pay ment of the rent, and said before he pronounced his judg ment. on the other parts of the petition, he should carefully read over all the papers. VICE.CHANCELLOWS COURT. EVEREST V. WARE. The Court was engaged the whole morning with thi part-heard appeal, which does not possess any public in to rest. COURT OF KING'S 13ENCUL WHITMORE AND OTHERS V. JOHN WILK., SEN. Lord TENTEBDEN stated, that this was an action by the trustees for lighting, watching, cleansing, and im proving the pari‘h of St. Luke's, against the defendant, their clerk. Two counts of the declaration charged the defendant with negligence. First, in having permitted his' clerk named Milne, to receive 350/, on behalf of him self, with which sum the said clerk absconded. Secondly, in respect to certain cheques. The Jury returned a ver dict for plaintiff, on account for meney had end received, and for the deendent on all the other counts. At the trial a witness named Sinnot, a dust-contractor, was examined, to fume the payment of the above 3501 The Attorney-General objected to his competency to give evi dence, on the ground that as the sum paid was an instil ment in part of his contract, be was now _interested in proving it to have been paid, as if the plaintiffs were non suited he would be liable to pay it again. Lord Tenter den received his evidence, but gave the defendant liberty to move to enter a nonsuit, or obtain a new trial. Mr. CAMPBELL and Mr. POLLOCK now showed cause against the rule, which was supported by Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL, Air. GURNEY, Mr. BROUGHAM, and Mr. CHITTY. The two questions in the argument whether Sinnot was a competent witness, and whether Wilks was liable for his clerk, who was not authorised in receiving it, were ar gued at great length. Lord TENTERDEN observed th.t the questions (particu larly that of the competency of Sinnot as a witness) were so important, that the court thought it requisite to take some time to consider of it. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. ENOWLES V. WRICLCY. Sir Wm. Owtr,N shrived cause against a rule obtained in this ease by Mr. Mattison, calling on the plaintiff to suety cause why an interlocutory judgment he bail obtained should not be set aside. The parties reside in Lancashire, and the action was brought for an assault and trespass. Some error arising in the proceedings, a writ of inquiry was issued, and a Sheriff's Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 251. The Learned Counsel contended it was the invariable rale of all the Courts not to set aside a verdict of this I:ind, except upon an affidavit of merits, and there was no such affidavit in this ca•e. Mr. Baron GARnow—ls that the invariable rule, Mr. Pat tison ? Mr. PATTISON--It is, my Lord, in actions for debt, but not in others. Mr. Baron nuer.ocK—Why did the defendant suffer judgment to go by default, if he had a good defence? Mr. PArrzsotc—On the 7th May we discovered an error in the proceedings, and the defendant's attorney ias• mediately wrote a letter to the plaintiff's attorney, asking for a little indulgence, to which he sent a verbal message that no answer was necessary. We consequently supposed that he agreed to it ; but quite the contrary was the ca se , for ha directly took advantage of the error, and issued a writ of inquiry, to be held at Preston, thirty-eight tni!es from where the alleged offence was committed. Mr. Baron GAIIROW-Then, if I understand you, your client made a slip, and requested a little indulgence, end the defendant's attorney said there was no answer required. PATTISON—Yes, my Lord. Mr. Baron GAR/COW-Theft I say it was but natural that your client should have supposed that the request was agreed to. An answer ought undoubtedly to have been returned to the application. I hope this is not the gene• ral manner in which business is transacted in attornies' offices in London. Sir NI OWEN—The parties live in the country, my Lord. Mr. Baron GAnnow—Country or London such prac tice is very censurahl,. Sir Wm. OwEN—I submit, my Lord, that the de fendant has lost his light to this rule by delay, having suffered four days to elapse before he made the application. Mr. Baron HULLOCK—We often hear Counsel talk about loss of time, as if parties were obliged to come to town express, and sit up of nights to make affidavits.— The Courts require no such hurried practice, and always wish that reasonable time should be allowed. Ctrmmm• BARON—The Court are unanimously of opinion that the judgment ought to be set aside, on the payment of costa up to the time the application was made to the defendant's attorney.—Rule absolute. Sir \Vat. Owr:N—l wish attornics were more courteous in their behaviour. Baru• Iletr.oex—You may wish so, Sir William ; but I think your wish is only idle.—(Laughter.)

This cause (which was to try the disputed validity of a certain deed) occupied their Lordships till near two o'clock, when their Lordships deliberated for some time. Lord WYNFORD then, on the part of their Lordships, dismissed the appeal with coats, on the ground that when a deed on the face of it shows clearly that it has been executed under uncon scientious conditions by a person weak both in body and mind, such deed should be set aside, and in consequence their Lordships confirmed the decision of the Lieutenant- Governor. In the second appeal, that of " Roper v. Gar ratt," their Lordships reversed the decision of the Colonial Court; and in the last case, that of " Corbett v. Bluer," Lord WYNFORD, on the part of their Lordships, confirmed the decision of the Colonial Court. Their Lordships ad journed about four o'clock.

(From the New York Commercial Advertiser, June Our city was astounded last evening by the a palling intelligence of the destruction of the stew frigate Fu/ton, at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, al the killing and wounding of a great number of me by the explosion of the powder magazine. The Fulton has ever since the war been occupit as a receiving ship, and was moored within 2C yards of the shore. The magazine was in the bo of the ship, and contained at the time of the expli sion but three barrels of damaged powder. The el plosion was not louder than that produced by ti discharge of a single cannon ; and many person in the Navy Yard supposed the report to have pet ceeded from such a source, until they saw the in mense column of smoke arising from the verse Others about the yard saw the masts rising int the air. before the explosion, and immediately after the air was filled with fragments of the vessel. 1 is not a little remarkable, that a Midshipman, will was, at the time of the accident, asleep on board'p the frigate United States, within 200 yards of thi frigate, was not at all disturbed by the report o the explosion, and was not aware of the occurrence until he was told of it after he awoke. The Fulton is a complete wreck, the bow heieP destroyed nearly to the water, and the whole of thi 6 immense vessel, Whose sides were more than foul feet thick, arid all other parts of corresponding strength—is now lying an entire heap of ruins, burst a•under in all parts, and aground at the spot w here she was moored. Although she was but 200 yards from the Navy Yard, and many vessels near her, not one of them received the last damage ; nor was the bridge which led from the shore to the Fulton at all injured. The sentinel upon the bridge receive!d no wound whatever, and continued to perform his. duty after the accident, as unconcerned as though nothing had happened. The sentinel on board the ship was less fortunate, and escaped with merely ( 11 slight accident on such occasion) a broken leg. There were attached to the Fulton, by the roll 6f the ship, 143 persons; and at the time of the ex plosion there were supposed to have been on board the vessel about GO persons. The bodies of the following persons have been brought on shore, and placed in coffins :- 11.brrt M. Peck, marine; William Kemp, seaman ; Alexander Cameron, marine; Franklia Uly, do., purser's steward ; Henry Legan, do., corporal ; John M`Keever, do. ; Charles Williamson, do. ; Otto E. Fergustine, do ;'• Sylvestt. Olialoran, do. ; James Livingstone, ordinary sea - nan. from Ireland ; Thomas Walton, seaman ; Jobs Pierce, first seaman ; Thom is D. Burgen, do. ; Jacob %ire, landsman, New York : William A. Lehman, do. ; Peter Gillen, do. ; T. Williams, gunner; John pass Rayes, barber, of Mexico; Joseph Brown, seaman, acting cook ; Harman Vete!, a boatman, of New York ; 'tWin. Brown, a boy ; Mrs. Brown, a mulatto; Mrs. Stockwell, of New York ; Mrs. Neilson, a Swede, whose husband was a seaman, and died a few days since. WOUNDED. Lieutenant Charles T. Platt, severely; Lieut. S. M. Brackenridge, since dead ; Lieutenant Alex. M. Mull, slightly ; Jolla Montgomery, sergeant of marines, do. ; Win. Butter, Captain's steward, do. ; Sailing Master John Clough, severely. Midshipmen —Rob e rt E. Johnston, severely; David APDongel, do. ; Robert P. Welsh, do. ; Mr. Eckford (a son of Henry Rickford, Esq. of this city), thigh broken. Rohert Kilpatrick, Marine, severely; Patrick Gilligan, do., slightly ; John Driscoll, do., do. ; Nicholas D. Farrell, do., severely ; Jacob De Hart, do., do. ; Thomas M‘Cullough, cook, slightly; Charles Scott, seaman, se ver,ly ; Zvi). Robertson, do., du. ; Joseph Moore, dta• slightly; Thomas Newbova, du., do.; William Brows, musician, severely; Stephen Decatur, a boy, do. This accident was occasioned by the gunner's going into the magazine to procure powder to fire the evening gun. He was charged by one of the officers, previously to his going below, to be careful, and soon after the explosion took place. We under stand that he was a man between fifty and sixty years of •age, and had just been appointed to that office, the old gunner having been discharged the day before. He was desired by Lieutenant Bracken ridge to . be cautious with the light, and to place it in the location invariably provided for it on such occasions —viz., behind behind a reflecting• glass in the par tition, through which the rays of light are thrown. It is supposed he had been careless in this particular, and that having carried the candle into the maga zine, some of its sparks were communicated to the powder; but as he is among the dead, nothing cer tain upon thi s p o i nt can ever b e known. Lieutenant Mull states that the necessary precautions had been taken for opening the magazine, and a sentinel placed at the hatch before he left the deck, and that after being in the ward-room some twenty minutes, the explosion took place. At the time of the explosion, the officers were .lining in the ward room. The lady of Lieutenant Btackenridge, and the son of Lieutenant Platt, a lad of about nine years old, were guests, and one ac count says both were slightly wounded. Another account says Lieutenant Mull, who was sitting next to the son of Lieutenant Platt, with great presence of mind, caught hold of him, and placed him in one of the port holes, by which means he escaped unin jured. Lieutenant Platt had returned only yester day morning, having been absent one month on leave. Corn. Chauncey, with the Commander of the frigate, Captain Newton, left her only a few minutes before the explosion, the former having been on board on a visit of inspection. The escape of Midshipman Eckford seems to have been almost miraculous. When Commodore Chaun cey (who was one of the first to reach the vessel) got on board, the first object he saw was young Eckford hanging by one of his legs between the gun-deck, whither he had been forced by the explosion. A jack-screw was immediately procured, by means of %%inch the deck was raised, and he was extricated from his perilous situation. The room in which the officers were dining was situated about midships. The whole company at the table were forced, by the concussion, against the transom, with such violence as to break their limbs, and otherwise cut and bruise them in a shocking manner. The magazine was situated in the bows of the vessel. This part of the ship, as may well be ima gined, is completely demolished. Indeed the ship remains as complete a wreck as probably was ever beheld. The timbers throughout appear to have been perfectly rotten. Many of the guns were thrown overboard, and some of them (of large di. mension) now lung as it were by a hair. The bodies of the dead and wounded were brought on shore as soon as circumstances would. permit. The former, after being recognized, were put into coffins. The latter were taken to the hos- . pital of the Navy-yard, and every attention paid to them. The bodies of the dead were shockingly mangled, their features distorted, and so much blackened that it was difficult to recognize them. MI the physcialis of Brooklyn, and several from this city, proffered their services, which proved very acceptable. As soon as the intelligence reached the city, thou sands of persons visited the wreck of the Fulton. The steam-boats on their pavage up the river stop ped to learn the particulars, and hundreds .of small boats proceeded to the spot. The Navy yard was also filled with persons making inquiries after their relations or friends, and expressing much anxiety to see the bodies, for the purpose of ascertaining whether they were among the dead or wounded. 'We are pained to learn that Mrs. Brackenridge is not slightly, but very severely wounded ; and the injury of Li eut . Pl att i s so ser i ous, that but a faint hope is indulged of his recovery. What is a very remarkable circumstance, although several of the persons at dinner in the ward-room escaped with their lives, and some of them unin jured, not a vestige of the table, chairs, or any of the furniture of the room, remains. Every thing was blown to atoms.

General Lord Hill, attended by several General Officers, came upon the ground at ten o'clock, aryl toult: iiis station in front of the centre of the hattadon, which received his Lordship with presented urine. Lord Hill, attended by a military cortege, then advanced to the right of the line, rode down the front, passed round the rear, and subsequently took his station in his original position. - The battalion then took close order, wheeled back into open column, right in front, and marched past, in review ' order, in slow and quick time. The battalion, having arrived on its original ground, pro ceeded to perform a variety of movements and evolutions— the starching in column, in echellon, and line, was well executed—the wheeling., the formation of squares, the re formation into open columns, the deployments, the counter marching, and the counter-movements, were performed with great cele.iy and precision —the firing in platoons, grand divisions, and wings, was steady and compact—the vollies were admirable—the Light Infantry :c•as thrown forward in chain to cover the movements of the battalion, and its advance in line—the firing was kept up with great spirit and effect—the Light Infantry being withdrawn, the bat talion, having reached its original ground, took open order, and gave the general salute. Lord Hill then rode forward, and addressing Colonel Woodford, who commanded, ex pressed himself highly gratified at the distinguished manner in which the evolutions and manoeuvres were executed by the battalion. Lord Hill then left the ground. INDIAN ARMY. GENERAL ORDERS BY lIIS EXCELLENCY THE. COMMANDER IX CHIEF. Head-quarters, Camp, Gwalior, Jan, 3, 1529.

RIOT AT BARNSLEY.--Yesterday week, at midnight, the house of Mr. JOHN Fox, linen-manufac turer, situate at the edge of the town, leading to Doncas_ ter, was suddenly beset by a great multitude of weavers, and at a signal give❑ (by the tiring of a pistol), the doors and windows were assailed by stones of every dimension, until these missiles had reduced the windows to a complete wreck. The cause assigned for this outrage is, Mr. Fox had given out work below the scale of prices recently agreed upon between the masters and weavers. Such a moda of resentment (if the cause be true) is, however, utterly unjustifiable, and argues great depravity ; it is, moreover, useless, inasmuch as neither side is benefitted by such lawless procedure. It is needless to add that the fright occasioned by this attack, during the absence of Mr. Fox, may be more easily imagined than described. Fortunately, the family escaped without any material per sonal injury. —Leeds Paper. wooLstiplerg. July 21,, at eleven, at the White swan Pavement, - York.

Yesterday three young men of gentlemanly ap peasonce, al/brte]) rather disguised from the effects of an i;:csreesation in the watch-le:use and a recent debaach, were charged with haelng assaulted Wil lion) Lewis, a toll-keeper attached to the Surrey side of Weterloo-bridge. The names which the de fendants gave were Augnstut Frederick Timothy Jefkins, and George Newland. William Lewis, the toll-keeper, at four o'clock that morning, observed the defendants on the Wa terlooosroad proceeding in a direction towards the bridge. They were in a state of intoticatiou, and appeared bent upon fun or mischisf. A market cart, driven by a boy, and laden very heavily with fruit baskets, was proceeding in the same direction. The defendant Phillips, upon seeing the cart, called out !o his companions, " Hollo, boys, here's a glorious opportunity for a lark ; we'll have a ride across the bridge for nothing." The defendant Phillips then told the boy to stop, and mounting the cart by the wheel;fie fixed himself in a few seconds astride upon the top basket, and his companions perching them selves as they could upon the cart, the boy was de sired to drive en. When the cart stopped at the toll -gate, where witness was standing, the boy began to cry, and said that the gentlemen heel forced them• selves on the cart against his will. Witness then said, very mildly, " Gentlemen, I must trouble you to get down and pay the customary toll. After you have passed through the wicket, you can continue your ride if you like." The de fendant Phillips, who was still perched upon the top basket, put his arms akimbo, and called out, " I'll see you first. I shan't come down foe you. Know, Sir, that I am a magistrate's son, and a gentleman, and no man in the king.. dom shall prevent me from riding astride upon a fruit-basket if I please to do so." Witness then stopped the horse, and declared that the defendants should not pass unless they paid toll in the usual way. The defendants, after some wrangling and abuse, got down from their stations, paid a penny each, and passed through the wicket. They then became more abusive, and the defendant Philips " pitched in" to him (the witness) and gave him several severe thumps, so that "he was knocked about in prime style." The defendant Jefkins also struck him on the face several times with his um brella, while Newland, the third defendant, held him by the collar. Witness, as soon as he could, dis engaged himself from the defendants, ran into the toll-house, and armed himself with a stick. He then called upon the watchman of the bridge to as sist him ; and the defendants, after some trouble, were taken into custody, and conveyed across the bridge to the watch-house of St, Mary-le•Strand. The watchman who assisted in securing the de fendants corroborated the above statement as far as he had been concerned, and the night-constable who had entered the charge against them stated, that the defendant Phillips declared repeatedly that he was the son of a justice of the peace; that he knew Sir Richard Birnie perfectly well, and possessed as much power as that Magistrate himself. He then de clared his intention to have the toll-keepers, lamp li:ehters, watchmen, and sweepers of the bridge dis missed from their respective situations. In short, he was resolved, he said, to exterminate the whole race of watchmen, and all such fellows, and have new men appointed in their room. As to the watch house itself, it should be blown up with a barrel of gunpowder; " and you, Sir," he cried, addressing himself to witness, " you shall be my first victim ; I have got a pistol in my pocket ready loaded and primed, so mind your eye, for down you go." Mr. Phillips said, that his companions and him self had been to see some friends on board a ship at Sheerness, where unfortunately they happened to get intoxicated. He regretted that they had so far forgotten themselves as to ride upon a market -cart, and he assured the Magistrate that in doing so nei ther himself nor his friends had the slightest inten tion of bilking the bridge, as all they intended was to have a lark. Mr. MINSBBLL—Pray, Sir, what is your pro fession ? Mr. Phillips—l am no other profession, Sir, than a private gentleman. Mr. Mussumt. expressed his surprise that a per son calling himself a gentleman should use the words " bilking" and "lark." It was certainly most un becoming to do so. Mr. Powell, Secretary to the Waterloo-bridge Company, produced their local Act of Parliament, by which it appeared that a power was given to Ma gistrates to inflict a fine not exceeding 101., upon any person who should assault a toll-keeper in the execu tion of his duty. Mr. MINSHULL thought it would be better to send the case to trial, and let a Jury decide upon it. . The defendants were then ordered to find sureties for their appearance at the Sessions. Each of them to find two sureties in 25/., and also to enter into their respective recognizances in 501. The defend ants were then removed in custody. Mr. Powell observed, that as the Bridge Company might not like the expense of a prosecution at the Sessions, a mitigated fine upon each of the defend ants would perhaps answer the ends of justice. Mr. Muststwes. would consider of it. The constable of the night then came forward, and stated, that he had a separate charge to prefer against the prisoners, who, while in the watch-house, had contrived to steal seven of the watchmen's coats, and thrust them into a certain place at the rear of the office. Mr. MINSHULL would make the defendants pay for the damage. A communication was soon after received by the magistrate from the defendants, requesting, as a par ticular favour, that he would fine them under the Bridge Act, rather than detain them for bail. Mr. MINSHULL then sent for the defendants, and told them he would comply with their•request. He then fined Mr. Phillips in the full penalty of 101.; Mr. Jefkins in the mitigated penalty of .51.; and upon Mr. Newland, whose conduct, it appeared, was less culpable than his companions, he inflicted a fine of 40s. '1 he defendants were then ordered to be detained, until they had paid their respective fines. WORSHIP -STREET. THE INFORMERS AT `WORK.--Yesterday Mr. Richard Vaughan, the proprietor of the Camel public-house, in Philip-street, Shoreditch, appeared to a summons and information laid against him by Johnson, charging him with keeping open his house during the hours of divine service on Sunday last. Baker, the informer's witness swore, that on Sun day morning last, at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock, he saw a boy carrying several pets of porter in a tray from the defendant's house. Mr. BENETT (to the defendant)—What have you to say in answer to the charge ? Defendant—l have no witnesses to disprove the informer's accusa tion, as I am not summoned for serving beer. Mr. BuouGuToN—The information and the sum mons states keeping his house open during the usual hours of the Morning Divine Service, which is a distinct offence from what the informer's witness had stated. Johnson (much surprised)—His house must be open if he lets beer be conveyed from it. Mr. BROUGHTON—He might deliver his beer out of the window : in that case he need not open his house. We dismiss the information. The next summons was against Mr. George Young, of the Black Horse, Kingsland-road, for serving beer during the hours of Dirine Service., Baker swore that at 2.5 minutes before one o'clock on Sunday last he went into the defendant's house and was served half a pint of beer by him. Mr. BENETT—Ah, you went there as a trap. Johnson—H e found the door open. Mr. BENETT (to Baker)—How came you, such a moral and virtuous man as you are, to go and tempt the defendant to commit an offence, and then inform against him ? Baker—l am employed by Mr. Johnson. Mr. BENETT—I don't like to see one man go and tempt another to commit an offence ;—its by no means zespemable. Baker---I get my living by it. . . 'rv.. a 1.% hnn,ll.-. .-,.e 421. A• `; 1, Mr. BROUGHTOS—The words of the Act are, d e usual hours of divine service. A publican, who was in the office, said it was customary to open directly they heard the bells ring. Johnson —What time did you open your house last Sunday ? Publican—Twenty minutes before one. Johnson—What time did von hear the bells ring ? Publican—When I opened my doers. The Magistrzvcs, after consulting together, said the case was made much stronger by the gentleman who had stated twenty inimites before one to be the time the bells rang ; they must therefore convict the defendant in thirty shillings penalty and costs. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JULY 2.—On Friday last, the de7ree of Doctor in Divinity was conferred on the Rev. Edward Burton, Regius Professor in Divinity, and Canon of Christ Church, Grand Compounder ; and also upon the Rev.

CAMBRIDGE, JULY 3.—The Syndics appointed to consider of the arrangements concerning the " old court lately purchased of King's College," have re ported to the Senate:— " That they consider it necessary that provisiot.' should be made, not merely for a large increase of the accommodation of the public library, but like vise for four additional lecture•rooms, for trmeurm: of Geology, Mineralogy, Botagy, and, if practicutbh- 0 of Zoology, for a uew office for the registry, for :to additional school for the professor of physic, and for' other purposes connected with the despatch of the ordinary business of the University;—that they con sider the extent of ground, now the property of University, including the site of the present library, as amply sufficient for all these objects;—that they consider it expedient to make application to four architects, for complete plans, elevations, and esti mates, to be forwarded to the Vice-Chancellor, on or before the Ist of November next; and that the Syndicate shou!d be authorized to give the neces sary instructions ; to offer the sum of 100 guineas to each of tite three architects whose plans shad not be adopted; and to make a further report to the Senate before the end of the next term." A grace for the adoption of the above recom mendation will be offered to the Senate on Mon day next. Churches were always divided into two parts as at present—viz., the nave and the chancel, the latter standing at the eastern, and divided by neat rails called cancelli, from whence it had its name. The priest alums entered this part of the Church, where he was accustomed to perform the whole of the service, reading dealt: not being established till about the beginning of the reign of JAMES the FIRST. At this period also he had begun to vend English instead of Latin. STAVELT says that the Saxons generally made their Churches with descents into them, but the Normans with ascents. Hence when we meet with the former, we may conclude that they are the more ancient buildings. FEVER AT GIBRALTAR.--(From the Lancet. )—On Thursday the last meeting of the Session at the College of Physicians was held in the Hall of the College. Sir H. Hatroun took the Chair, and was de corated with his star and riband. The meeting was very much crowded. The President congratulated the meeting on having every plant of the Materia Medico now in flower before them. They were indebted to Mr. Itrrr, of Hammersmith, for this acquisition. The attention of the meeting was called by the President to a communication laid before the College by Sir GEORGE MuanAr, Secretary for the Colonies, being the Report of the Commissioners appointed by Government to inquire into the causes of epidemic diseases at Gibraltar. An Abstract of the vo luminous details was read, from which it appeared that the Commissioners had divided the Report into two heads, viz. the origination of the disease in the garrison, and its probable introduction by infection. On the subject of the disease originating in the fort, many of the medical gen tlemen appointed to inquire into the subject were of opinion that the malady was to be attributed to bad ven tilation ; the defects of the common sewers, whereby their periodical cleansing was prevented; and, thirdly, the proximity of les necessaires to the dwelling-houses. Ano. ther opinion was, that the fever was introduced on the late occasion by a Swedish vessel from the Havannah, and was similar to the yellow fever of the West Indies. The meeting was then adjourned. MANCHESTER, JULY 3.—THE DUKE DE Cnmerazs.—His Royal Highness the young Duke de CHARTRES, accompanied by General BEA URANDE, and his private Secretary (M. PRIDEAUX ), who, for th'e last three days, has been sjourning at the Royal Hotel ana Bridge water Arms, in this town, this morning, at an early hour, departed for Liverpool. His Royal Highness and General BEAURANDE travelled in a superb carriage, drawn by four horses, and the gentlemen composing the suite occupied four post chaises. His Royal Highness, during his stay in this great commercial town, daily paid visits to the prin cipal marts for the manufacture of cotton and machinery, to the latter of which:he paid particular attention. Amongst other manufactories, his Royal Highness called at the ex tensive establishments of Messrs. SMARP, ROBERTS, and Co., patentees of a superior and novel description of reeds, for the manufacture of weft, invented by them, respecting which his Royal Highness appeared to take considerable interest, and was remarkable for his extreme affability and condescension of manner, in making inquiries. Ile con versed freely, and spoke tolerably good English. Ott Monday evening his Royal Highness, with General BEA U RA NDE, honoured the theatre with his presence. The performances were Love in a Village and Midas, in the former of which that celebrated vocalist Madame CARA DORI sustained the character of Rosetta. His Royal Highness appeared highly gratified, so much so, that he visited the theatre again on Tuesday evening, when the . above performances were repeated. On the departure of his Royal Highness he had several conferences with Mr. SA UL, the Vice-Consul to the French Government, who is a resident of Manchester. His Royal Highness is e:::- peeted to stay several days in Liverpool : he is now at the Adelphi Hotel, 111ount Pleasant. from n h no > ;t church was very often over at twenty minutes rise t we've; and the bell, on last Sunday, by some acci dent, rang twice.

.SPIRIT OF THE. Punrac JOURNALS. Nothing within our recollection has ever been more pcoroking or disgraced than the conduct of tie officer commanding his Majesty's ship Xdrth Star, who, being charged with tit ;ii--ten sive correspondence from Rio Janeiro to Eng land., detained the letters at Portsmouth for 48 boars after his vessel arrived, quite heedless, ap parently, of the serious lots, nay ruin, which sue!' a violation of his trust might entail upon a num ber of anxious merchants in this tobntry. How far the officer thus offendieg would be punish able in his pocket by ah action at the suit of the suffering or disappointed parties, we shall not express an opinion, although, possibly, we may have farmed a strong one. It is ceitam that the master of a merchant-vessel would not be per mitted to escape untouched. The letter-bag d not, indeed, contain " treasure," in that sense which renders the conveyance of the pre-- cious metals so abundantly profitable to captain of the royal navy who transport them; but to the merchants it may have been treasure of the most valuable and indispensable description: the letters, so blamably withheld from the right ful owners, may, and doubtless did, enclose re-- mittances in the shape of bills, or other vouchers and representatives of actual prope r ty, th e de tention of which is at all times most grievous to those who look for them as the means of discharging their own engagements, and most embarrassing to the free and natural course of commerce. If the law does net teach this gentleman a lesson, we trust that the Admiralty Times. Among all the accounts received, or said to be received, from Poland, Germany, or the seat of war itself, we have not seen anything to in validate, or in the slight es t d egree t o a lt er , t h e view.which we have from the beginning taken of the occurrences at and near Kovlertscha, so 0)- viously garbled and discoloured by the pen of the Russian General. It is plain, from every thing which has yet appeared, that, except the relief of Pravadi, no -other object of the invading force has been fulfilled by the march from Silis tria south.:rards. It was strange, and indeed unpardcnable, that the Grand Vizier should have suffered himself to be turned ; it was even marvellous, that he should have allowed his enemy to occupy the direct road to Slimla be- Lind him ; but having been taken in the rear, surprised, and almost surrounded, it t-howed nearly incredible courage, and no common mea sure of skill in the Turkish army, to have escaped utter annihilation. The boast of Count Die bitsch, that he would on the 12th of June march with his entire army for Marasch, distant only rett or a dozen miles—the direct acknowledg ment that his - troops did not actually attempt that operation ; and the tacit confession two days afterwards, that not one Russian or Cossack soldier had then succeeded in reaching Marasch, gives ample contradiction to the averments of both the first and second bulletin, that the Turks were reduced to a disorderly and unresisting rabble. Had such been the state of the Turkish army, nay had it not been in an efficient and formidable capa city of self defence—what prevented Count Die bitsch from getting before the Vizier to Shumla, since he says that he had what we know to be the direct road in his undisturbed possession ? What, again, prevented him from traversing a distance of less than twelve miles in eight-and-forty hours if there was no enemy,—and a stout and un broken enemy,—to obstruct him ? Count Die bitsch doubtless wishes that the Turks, as Na poleon and his officers wished formerly that the stupid English, knew enough of war to be sen sible when they were beaten, instead of going on to split so many warlike Russian and Gallic skulls, when they ought, by every rule of military etiquette, to have laid domi their arms and •sur rendered. For our parts, we desire only that the Turkish chiefs should attend a little better to their flanks and rear, and now and then take the trouble to write us a good long matter-of-. fact bulletin.—lbid. The Civic Body, as it would seem from the late partial exposure of their accounts, out of their enormous revenue are not at all niggardly in the part which '.'ney bestow upon themselves. The Lord M . „yor, the Chamberlain, the Re corder, CP., - mmon Sergeant, Remembrancer, and the crzvvd of other official persons, too numerous to :nention, all experience the truth of that ex eellent maxim, that « the labourer is worthy of his hire." We would nct be supposed to urge a word against so excellent a precept ; and even though the reward may, in some instances, over pay the labour, yet that we should deem to be an error on the right side, and far preferable, especially in the case of a public body, to that narrow parsimony which often unnerves and neu tralizes even an anxious willingness to serve.— But then, on the other hand, where services are amply rewarded, and the retaining fee sufficient to bespeak the whole of a man's time, those in whose behalf the labour is expected, should at least see their expectations fulfilled, and, above all, no delay of essential service take place. Amongthe rest, we think it must be admitted that the City Law Officers are pretty well paid—not over paid probably, if the duties are done for which they are appointed ; yet such, it would appear, is the want of method and arrangement among those whose business it is to regulate those mat ters, that the most grievous delays of justice continually take place, from the Recorder, or some one else, being expected to be in two places at once ; or, as the instance we allude to, being expected to hold the Sessions at Guild hall and in the Borough on one and the same day. We wonder whether the civic body ever appoint two dinners to be eaten on the same day—a swan-hopping set-to, for instance, at Maidenhead, and a white-bait affair at Green wich. We augur better of their economy of dinner-time ; only we do not see why law-time might not be under as judicious regulation and division. Perhaps it may be inconvenient to some of the worthy Aldermen to be called upon to bestow their time in making Courts. But those who can so well employ their afternoons should not grudge their mornings ; remember ing, as they are bound to do, another axiom from the same book which we have already quoted, viz. that " those who will not work, neither shall they eat."—Morning Herald. We have copied into another column an article from the Dublin Evening Post, in which an invitation is thrown out to independent Vicars or Curates, to devote themselves to the cause of the sufferers from the abuses of the Establish ment, with the certainty that the Protestant public would, to a man, be with any Curate with a small independence and of an irreproachabl e life. 'l'he same Paper charges us with not being sufficiently alive to the abuses of the Protestant Church, or at least not sufficiently sanguine as to the possibility of a reform. We are, perhaps, in the wrong. We ought never to despair of the good cause. The country papers, we observe, 'oftett parts of our Establishment. There is very able article in the last numb'e'r of the Kent Herald, which_ w' fthart postpone to a future day. o.g.tr Dublin Contemporary attributes the (c:Ortimencement of the Second Reformation in England to the Bishop of Lincoln.

Ditto. )ension of 4001. or 500/. per id enjoys his dignita.ry - een Chronicle. The following article appeared in a late im pression of the Courier of last night, and we have heard it whispered that it emanates from a high quarter :- 4( An attempt is now making, by those who have hitherto dealt to falsehoods of the most daring ) and calumnies of the darkest character, to represent them selves as victims to principle, because they are called upon to justify the truth of their assertions in the open Courts of their country, or to bear the penalty due to convicted guilt. But as they failed to per , vert the judgment, so they will not succeed in posing on the compassion of the public: They cry out at the approach of danger like bullies Who think themselves undetected still, and seek, by a mixture of complaint and menace, to conceal or protect their cowardice. But their cry is without power, for it is without justice. They say that they are visited for their political offences; but the call made upon them is no visitation, either political, or even legal. It is not a thunderbolt hurled on defenceless heads, striking at once to the ground, and leaving no time or strength for the victim to ward off s allti'i~iate, or return the blow. It is a fair demand that they shall stand forth to their own word as men ; and that they shall prove to a British Jury, with every assistance which the law and the best abilities at the Bar can give them, that the charges which have been made of corrupt dispensations of patronage are true, or that, as they assert, they do not apply to the Lord Chancellor of England. Is there any thing vindictive, any thing political, in this ? Nay, is it net a step which they themselves have forced upon that high individual ? Was he alone of all men to have no protection, because he was invested with functions of such importance that they require a character not only free from accusti tion, but above suspicion itself? Was he to be de barred the remedy open to all his fellow-men, un shackled by similar duties ? Had he, indeed, adopt ed a different course, a course ordinary and perfectly legitimate, but which prevents the proof of a charge from acting as a justification of it, there would be some plausibility for these daily misrepresentations and complainings. But now there is none, and this very circumstance adds to their rage. Had they no opportunity to prove their charges, they would have had the consolation, after conviction, of assert ing that, f allowed, they could have proved them. This consolation, slender as it is, they see, is now denied them. They feel that they have no proofs whatever to adduce in answer to the manly call made upon them. They know that no Jury, com posed of men in their senses, will doubt for one mo ment the application of the calumny; and their re sentment against their intended victim derives double bitterness from the despairing conviction, that by the charitableness and liberality of his course he has brought them to, in their case, the most fatal of all tests—the test of truth." We have ourselves abstained hitherto from any remarks on the prosecution, from a persua sion that while a cause is pending before a tri bunal which involves no general principle, it is hardly consistent with propriety to interfere with it. As, however, the appeal on one side to a different tribunal from the legal one has pro duced a corresponding appeal on the other, we have thus departed from our resolution, by no ticing the circumstance. Having, however, given the case on one side, we shall give that of the other in the Morning Journal of this day : " In the case of the Atlas, Messrs. Whiting and Swift, the printers and proprietors of the Atlas, are not prosecuted, on the ground that they were not parties to the insertion of the libel. In our case Mr. Gutch is made criminally responsible, although he was more than a hundred miles from London, and confined to a sick bed, at the time the obnoxious paragraph appeared. The Noble and Learned Lord, and his candid and liberal advisers, pounce upon him, although they know that be had no more to do with the authorship or publication of the article, than the Emperor of China. They let Messrs. Whiting and Swift escape, who either knew what was published, or who, residing on the spot, ought to have known what was published; and they fas ten on Mr. Gutch, who it was impossible could have been a party to its insertion! " This proceeding requires no comment. This is a specimen of the justice dealt out to us by the Lord High Chancellor of England ! This is the way in which a Supreme Judge of the land pursues his imaginary calumniators ! This is modern libe ' rality ! This a sample of the Chancery clemency of Lord Lyndhurst ! That Mr. Whiting may be a personal friend of Lord Lvndhurst's may be true; hut why Mr. Whiting should escape, and . Mr. Gutch should be brought to trial, is an anomaly which we should like to hear explained by a special , pleader. " But it is a mere farce to attribute the proceed ing to personal feelings. The prosecution is insti tuted by the Government—perhaps by Mr. Peel— but it is in substance a Government prosecution. It is an official visitation upon us for the part we took on the Catholic question. We are marked out as the first victims of the late opposition to the apostate Bill. We are selected as a sin-offering to offended dignity—as the organ of Protestant opi nions—as the defenders of that Constitution which corrupt and dishonest men sacrificed on the altar of expediency. " And why is Mr. Gutch thus marked ? Because he took a prominent part in the proceedings at Bristol. ` Because he was true to his principles, and large 'portion of our public men to be mercenary and characterless, aimed a fatal blow at our liberties, and signed the death-warrant of the Constitution of 1688. For this reason Mr. Whiting escapes under a contemptible apology, end Mr. Guth is prose , cuted destlite an honourable, and a satis i'aciOrY explanation. " Gentlemen of England, who are not yet slaves ! is this insidious justice to be countenanced or pa tronised by you ? Is there to be poison given to one man and ass's milk to another i , under the pre text of administering even-lihnded Jtistit'e tO all is it. not plain thAt,this iS a kruel, a personal, and a prosecution ? Is it not clear that we are chosen to bear the punishment of your acts—of your opinions—of your spirited and honest struggles in defence of the Constitution ? It is not a ques'; tion between A and B; ht'w the latter may havF spoken unfavourably of the former. It is a prosecution set on foot to crush your favoured organ—punish the men who fought faithfully, man fully, and consistently on your side; and not only to intimidate, but, if possible, send to a gird those who asserted their rights agabist mercenaries at period of great exciteitiiit i Wittin all t've deeiiied host valuable was voted away contrary to his Ma jesty's instructions. " We make this appeal to our Protestant friends. On so trying an occasion we solicit their support. We ask no favour that is not dne to our services and our principles 1 but, as this is an insidious and vindictive attack upon us, we think we have some claim upon their friendship and their collective sup , port. Of the issue we are not aftaid, because there are still a few honest Protestant Jtirymen in Lon don; but the. tithes look murltythere are traitors in every street—spies in every house, and corrupt jobbers around every table; therefore we say to our friends "watch and wake I" It has bean observed that Lord Eldon, during his long judicial career, remained patient under repeated attacks. Whether these attacks would have been construed into libels by Juries, is more than we can well say q hecanse, as has been observed, every thing is a libel which a Jury tail be persuaded to declare one. We have no doubt that many of the articles written against Lord Eldon gave him considerable pain. But they were either strictures on his mode of discharging his public duty ) dr alltisidiis to real dr supposed weaknesses. In all times a good deal of lati tude has, by courtesy rather than by law, been allowed to writers and caricaturists respecting public characters. Mr. Pitt's indifference to the fair seX and attachment to the bottle were the subject of many an epigram, The parsi , mony and love of tattle of the late I(ing form the burde►► of many a page in Peter Pindar. In like manner, many a colu►nn has been devoted to the hospitality of Lord Eldon. But there is an evident distinction between alluding to the Weakness or foibles which cling to public as well as private individuals, and charging them with substantive crimes or offences. We leave untouched the. question whether the Lord Chancellor was or was not the petson affe alluded to. But if he were the personage, he is, in that case, charged with what amounts td a posiiive crime of a high order. The selling Church livings is also an offence, which, if proved, would at once lay the foundation for depriving him of the Seals, These are not Weaknesses, or infirmities, or errors in judgment, but delinquencies. It may be very true that ru mours of all sorts were in circulation with respect to his Lordship, We can form a conjecture too whence these rumours emanated. But spoken slander is privileged, while written is not. When we say spoken slander is privileged, we mean merely to say, that except some person is present who takes such an interest in the charac- ter slandered as to be willing to become evidence at the hazard of being deemed a tale-bearer, it can never be proved. We have heard it said that a certain personage, the precise degree of whose elevation we shall not venture to specify, has boasted that he can run down, if he chooses, any character in a month. But verba seripta mancnt. There is no escape for the writer.— Morally speaking, he is not more guilty than the speaker, but lie has not the same facilities for escape. The school-boy who is caught robbing an orchard is often the least guilty, because the youngest ; but he suffers, because he is least able to effect his escape. The Standard of last night observes— " Mr. Moore, in one of the Intercepted Letters, charges Lord Ellenborough, in direct terms, with horsewhipping His Lady within an inch of her life,' —we mean the late Lord. This was an intrusion into private life—certainly not warranted by good taste—hut did it in the slightest degree impair the reputation of the late Lord Chief Justice, though imputing a brutality so base and unmanly ? No; not one living being believes it. But who will say, that the same story whispered with a sufficient in. dustry would not have obtained credit ? But the libels of which Lord Eldon was the object—the libels charging him with avarice, with hard-hearted ness to suitors, with mean pursuit of unlawful fees, with partiality in bringing causes to a termination, nay, with even dipping his hand into the money de posited in his Court; these libels would freight a navy, as we have said. Lord Eldon never prosecuted them. During his long public life, tide after tide of libels has rolled and roared against him, but rolling and roaring only to dissipate themselves,—and there he still stands —erect, spotless, unmoved, like the eternal cliffs of his own loved England." As to the case of the late Lord Ellenborough, we do not recollect it at present ; but with re spect to Lord Eldon, we do not remember his ever having been charged with dipping his hand into the money deposited in his Court, or taking unlawful fees. We have heard him again and again charged with loading his own family with sinecures ; and his resistance of all reform in his Court, while there was, during his whole career, a heavy arrear of business, was construed into an indifference for the sufferings of suitors. But, if these are to be libels, all strictures on the con duct of public men are at an end. The enemies of Lord Eldon charge him with pertinacity in error ; the enemies of Lord Lyndhurst charge him with too great facility of conviction. Ob stinacy and apostacy are the dyslogistic, while consistency and openness to conviction are the eulogistic expressions which are used by turns, as the speakers are enemies or friends. —lbid. We beg to refer our readers to our Worship street Police Report, for another sample of the shameful conduct which is daily pursued towards the Licensed Victuallers of the metropolis, by informers and their agents. They first tempt the former, as they avow, to the commission of a breach of the law, and then turn round upon them, in order to riot on the spoils of their conviction ! Information, in fact, has now become a trade—by and by, if some people had their , way, it might chance to be ex alted into a profession ; but surely nothing can be more truly degrading, more utterly base and unprincipled, than the system which is now pursued, of first appealing to the sympathy of the Victualler, and then converting that sym pathy into his ruin ! We say ruin, because a third conviction is fatal to obtain a licence ! though, by that glorious inconsistency which so pecu liarly distinguishes English from all other laws, an informer may pursue his vocation during every hour of the Sabbath, and every day of the _. t_ V.-1A Manic tratcs, in the cot referred to, could have acted with more propriety than those of Wor ship-street : but we regret to perceive that they differed on one point which has already been neqiiatty then the thne whidt is to be held as the time of Divine Service. the Worship-street Magistrates decided it to be the usual time during which Divine Service is per formed in the metropolis ; but the time varying greatly ; as was proved in this particular instance, Anti As is universally tinutti in different parishes, it has been decided by good authority, and on good grounds; that the time during which Divine Service continues to be performed in the partiettlat ptirM, is to be held as the tithe during which the Legislature intended that the houses of Licensed Victuallers should not be open for public accommodation. We trust, therefore, that the Worship-street Magistrates will re-consider their decision, and that when a similar case tomes before them, they will decide aceortibig . tii tht , standard established by their brethren, instead of fixing oil one too variable to be useful, and too liable to be abused by perjury, not to be most injurious to the Li censed Victualler.—Morning Adver:ivr.. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OP CHANCERY, .ILLY S. JACKSON 2 3 . HAN kAY. This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the 'Wills when Vice-Chancellor, by which he had dismissed the bill filed in this cause. It appeared that a settlement had been made on the marriage of Mr. Saville, by Mich a sum of Bank stock had been settled on the husband and wife for their joint lives, and on the death of the wife the divi(lends and prin cipal were to go to the children of the marriage. Mr. Saville, who was a man of considerable wealth, bad continued to receive the dividends after the death of his wife and after hi 3 children came of age. In the course of his He, certain family arrangements had been made, in which his right to do so was not disputed, and the general result of those arrange ments had been much more advantageous to the children than the receipt of the dividends to which they were entitled. After his death a bill had been filed against the trustees of the settlement, for an account of the dividends which they had permitted the husband to receive. Their defence to this was, that the persons entitled had sanctioned such receipt by concurring in the arrangements made by the late Mr. Saville, and that after such concurrence they could not maintain their present demand. Besides this, the trustees flied a cross bill. Counsel were heard on both sides, and The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed his judgment. ROLLS' COURT, JULY 3. IN RI 811F.PPARD ' s CHARITY. This is a charity for the maintenance and clothing of a certain number of aged men and women, and the payment of the salary of a nonconformist Mini ster is also provided for under the same trust. The funds a►ise from landed property, and the sum of 8001. having been obtained from the sale of timber belonging to the estate, the trustees thought pro per to purchase a landed estate for upwards of NM A petition was now presented, praying that an order might be made for the payment of the purchase money out of the funds arising from the sale of tim ber and other sources.

This was a petition to confirm the Master's re port, and order the payment of a sum of upwards of 2,00 W. in South Sea annuities to the petitioner. — The order was granted. COCKLE V. WHITING. The plaintiff was second mate in a ship engaged in the South Sea whale fishery, the defendant was the owner and consignee : the present proceeding ori ginated in a dispute relative to the distribution of the produce of the cargo. It appeared that the defendant was entitled to one-fourth of the adventure, the re mainder being divided in certain proportions among the crew, &c. The plaintiff, as second mate, was to receive one-sixtieth share for his services. The MASTER of the ROLLS, in giving judgment, observed that the crew (and among them the plain tiff) had agreed to accept the estimate, made in the usual manner of dealing in the trade, as the mea sure of their respective shares, and it vas now too late fin• any of them to complain. The bill must therefore be dismissed, and w►th costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 3. MARSH AND ANOTHER v. WOOD AND ANOTHER. This case came before the Court upon demurrer. The action was brought by the assignees of Mr. Joshua Rowe against Mr. Alderman Wood and his partner, for a breach of covenant in revoking a sub mission to reference made between the defendants and Mr. Rowe, before the bankruptcy of the latter. —Judgment for the defendants. EX I'AR'TE .----. Mr. FOLLETT moved for a rule to show cause why an attorney of the name of William Berry should not be struck off the roll of the court, or why he should not answer the matters of the affidavits. The Learned Counsel stated that a person residing in Devonshire had died in 1826, leaving three daughters, who became entitled to his property. Mr. Berry, professing great regard for the daughters, applied to them to allow him to manage their affairs. It ap peared that their father being indebted to a creditor in a sum of 401. had deposited some of his title deeds as a security. The father was also indebted to other persons, and his property was under incnm brances. For the purpose of discharging those in• cumbrances, Mr. Berry advised the ladies to endea your to get the title-deeds out of the hands of the creditor, and sell the property. The ladies acceded to this suggestion, and Mr. Berry got possession of the title-deeds on an undertaking to the creditor that the daughters should execute a bond. The bond was accordingly prepared and executed, and the property was sold. The ladies subsequently applied to Mr. Berry for his account, and he then made out a bill of costs amounting to 106/., and in his account made himself debtor for 861. He, however, took credit for a sum of 81/. for which some of the title-deeds had been deposited, as if he had actually paid that sum out of the proceeds of the property, but on in quiry it was discovered that instead of paying it, he had given his promissory note for the amount, and on the note becoming due he bud not paid it. Pro ceedings were instituted against Mr. Berry, and a judgment obtained. Mr. Berry, however, had not paid the money, nor had he paid over the money for which the estate had been seld. _ _ The COURT thought that they could only call upon the party to show cause why he should not pay over the sum for which he had taken credit in his account and not paid. The Learned Counsel, after pressing unsuccessfully to have the 861. in cluded, took the rule. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 3. SYMONDS V. HODSON. This case came before the Court upon a demurrer to the pleadings. It was an action on a policy of insurance on a ship called the Clarence, of Bristol. The vessel, on her voyage from St. Petersburgh to London, struck on some rocks off the coast of Sweden, and put into Elsinore to repair. To enable him to pay for the repairs, the Captain borrowed money of the plaintiff, secured by bond on the bottom of the ship, but to be paid within eight days after his (the Captain's) arrival in England, whether the vessel arrived or not. The plaintiff insured his in terest in the vessel with the defendant; and the ship was afterwards lost at sea.—Demurrer allowed.

NEW ORLFANS, MAY 9.—There has been a fair busi ness done since cur list, and principally during the fore part of the week, at near former quotations, which are continued. The principal operations were confined to Tenessee and North Alabama. That front the interior and Alissis,ippi is becoming scarce. Using the Liverpool classification, we quote, viz.:—Ordinary, 8 to Si cts. fair demand ; middling, Si a 9 eta, do. ; fair, 94 a 9/ cts. do. ; good fair, 10 a 101 eta. do. ; good and fine, 11 a 111 eta. do.

Cilmtr.v.sToN, Mar 25.—1 n the early part of the week there were some sales of Sea Minds at old rates, but, towards the clos, the market was languid. In Maine anti Santee a moderate business continued through the week at prices the same as at our last. The stock of Long Staple Cotten is decreasing. Some Sea Islands have been ►hipped on planters' account, and there has been a fair demand: for Alaine and Santee for northern manufacturers. We quote Sea I.•lands 12 a 24 ; Maine and Santee 17 a 19. In Uplands there was only a moderate demand through the week, and prices remain about the same as our last- We continue to quote 7 a 9, for inferior to common prime, and 10 a 10,i fur choice parcels, fancy brands its square bales. In the latter quality the soles were not nu merous, though it is in good demansl, such being scarce. The principal sales were at 8 a 81 for inferior to raid dliug lots. TRUE-BLUE CLUB DINNER. (Abridged from the Chelmsford Chronicle.) Time annual meeting of the members of this Club took place at the Blue Boar Inn, in Mahlon, on Wednesday last ; [high Dick, Eq., one of the Re presentatives of the borough in Parliament, took. the Chair. Among the gentlemen present were Quintin Dick, Esq. M.P.; Sir John Tyrell, Bart.; Sit G. 11. Smyth ' Bart.; Colonel. Tyrell and a Kerstemn the Reverends Matthew Forster, Forteseue, &e. About sixty gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner. After several toasts and speeches, Sir JOHN TYREE'. proposed the health of Mr. Bramston. For the first time within our memory, was the name of Mr. Bramston received with disrespect. However, on this occasion, hisses, groans, and other marks of disapprobation, followed. The voice of the Vice. President, Mr. Join Strutt Hance, was heard above all others. He called upon the meeting not to drink the toast, and gave as a reason that Mr. Bramston had sent his two sons to Oxford, to vote for Mr. Peel. This clamour continued some time, and called up Sir John Tyrell, who was desirous of answering the charge against his friend, Mr. Brams" ton, but he was pointedly opposed, and not in the most courteous language, by the Vice• President• who quoted the proverb of " one fool makes many;' which, fortunately perhaps for that gentleman, dol t not so operate in the present case, or the war et words had been changed to a war of blows. At last,. Mr. BRAMSTON rose, and after several efforts , . obtained a hearing. In a clear and perspicuotlo speech of considerable length, which we regret We . have not at present the means of giving our readers Mr. Bramston, justified his own conduct, as well as that of his Majesty's Ministers, by referring to the history of this country from the period of 0 0 revolution in 1658, to the present time, and pat' titularly to the unsettled state of Ireland. To re' store tranquillity to that country, Ministers felt the policy of conceding the point they had done, and which had already produced the most beneficia l consequences—that of putting down, without blood' shed, the Catholic Association and the collecting of the Catholic rents, both which threatened to be' come obstacles to the peace and happiness of the United Kingdom. Mr. Bramston said, that he Woet sorry to hear such harsh names applied to.parties opposite opinions—the one party were denominate° " rats, apostates, and knaves ;" whilst the other party were called " fools and bigots :" he disaP' proved of the application of such appellations to either side. Sir HENRY SMYTIt spoke with considerable warmth in reply. He pledged himself, that at th e next election, if a vacancy occurred in the repre' sentation of the county, he would not support Mr' Bramston. On the contrary, he would hunt the country for a candidate to oppose him, and in the event of his not being successful, he would do a° himself. Sir Henry shortly after left the room. Mr. BRAMSTON declared that it would not g ive him one moment's uneasiness whether he went t° the House of Commons or not. He was, as he ever would be, a firm supporter of a Protestan t Constitution. Some confusion again showed itself in oppositio n to Mr. Bramston, but it was suppressed by O. Chair. Shortly after Mr. Bramston left the r ecall' The meeting dispersed at an early hour.

BUCKINGHAM t a kes the present . mode of announcing to the Country generally, that in consequence of the powerful impression already made on the public mind by his Lectures recently delivered at Li verpool and Manchester, the cordial reception he has since experienced at Birming,fiarn and Leeds, and the invitations he is now constantly receiving from other parts of the country, be is confirmed in his original intention of extend ing his Tour through all the mercantile and manufacturing districts of Great Britain andlreland. In the meantime he begs to state, that full and faithful Reports of all the Public Proceedings on this subject will be found i❑ " THE ORIENTAL HERALD," a Work uniformly devoted to a continued exposure of the innu me►able evils inflicted upon all classes of people in this community by the Monopoly of the East India Company; and, on that ground, claiming the support of every indivi dual who wishes to see a Free Trade to Indi and China speedily opened for the relief of our unemployi Shipping and over-stocked Manufactories. As the most effectual means of preparing the i4abitants of the different places he intends to visit, and of iriforming even those which he may not be able to include in his Tour, by showing them the nature, plan, and object of these Lec tures, Mr. Buckingham has condensed into a small Pam phlet the Heads of the whole Course, preceded by a Sketch of his Life, Travels, and Writings, price Is. " THE ORI ENTAL HERALD" will be found to add to these the more ample details, as a Number of this Work appears on the Ist of every month, price 55., forming an octavo of 200 pages, and containing more matter than either of the Quarterly Reviews. Each of these may he obtained through any Bookseller; and it is believed that, at the present im portant crisis, there is no Work which has stronger claims than this upon general attention, or which would furnish more beneficial information to every Member of the Legis lature, every Merchant, every Ship-owner, and every Ma nufacturer in the Kingdom.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(LAST NIGHT ) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at a few minutes before Five o'clock. Lord KING presented two petitions from Youghall, in the county of Cork, against the Sub-letting and Vestry Acts. Lord ROLLE, in presenting a petition from the Free holders, Magistrates, and Clergy of Devon, observed, that he did so in consequence of one of the most respectable meetings ever held in that county. The petition was signed by upwards of twenty-six thousand persons, praying that their Lordships would preserve the Constitution of the coun try inviolate, as established at the glorious Revolution of 1688. The prayer of the petition was entirely consonant with those feelings which he had ever held, and which he trusted he ever should hold. He (Lord Rolle) could not but lament the alteration which had taken place in the opinion of his Majesty's Ministers. He trusted that peti tions from every part would crowd the table of their Lord ships House. His opinion with respect to the Catholics had not changed, and never would. Lord KING observed that the Noble Lord had stated, that the resolution for this petition was passed at one of the most numerous meetings he ever witnessed, hut he had forgotten to add, it was one of the most disorderly. Lord ROLLE would venture to say there never was a meeting in any county, where every thing attending it had been so consistently performed, or where there was more attention to every thing likely to quell tumult and support the Constitution. Lord KING observed, that perhaps the Noble Lord might think it right that clergymen, being present at the meeting, should hold up their hands in order to give the word which way parties were to vote. Lord ROLLE explained. Theßishop of EXETER could bear witness to the re gularity of this meeting. He should hold himself ex tremely culpable, if he allowed the Noble Lord (King) to state that Clergymen of his diocese had behaved themselves improperly at this meeting. The clergyman alluded to, so far from putting himself forward on that occasion, did not make his appearance till towards the eud of the meeting, for the purpose of delivering his sentiments on the question : and it was, in his opinion, a question en which that clergyman had a right to speak. It was a question in which the interests of the church were parti cularly involved ; and he could not see why a clergyman should be debarred from giving his opinion on a proposition which affected the Constitution of the country.—(Hear, hear. )—Towards the end of the meeting that clergyman certainly did come forward with the intention of speaking; but, so far from acting as a fugleman, and influencing the meeting, the crowd assembled would not hear him, and therefore he remained silent. He (the Bishop of Exeter) would not have saiel so much with respect to this clergy.. man, if reflections had not, from time to time, been un justly thrown out upon other clergymen of the Established Church. Now he would assert, that the clergy of the diocese of Exeter had not put themselves forward farther than they were justified in doing. Lord REDESDALE said, that even if what had been stated by the Noble Lord were proved, still, in mentioning it, the clergy ought to be spoken of with respect. He would show, when the proper day came, that there were certain persons who went about endeavouring to disturb public meetings, in order to prevent the sense of the people from being fairly brought forward.—(Hear, hear.)—They had done so in this very town ; and the perso❑ who had thus acted was, lie understood, a Catholic clergyman. He did not mean to assert this as a fact, but he certainly had heard it related. He must say, that the attempt to cry down the Established Church of this country, by bringing unfair accusations against the clergy, was to him`extremely alarming ; and when the proper time came he would stand forth as the defender of that much-maligned class of persons. Lord ROLLE felt it ❑ecessary to say one or two words with respect to the Clergyman who had been particularly alluded to, and who had not an opportunity of denying what had been alleged against him. That individual pos sessed property in Ireland, and felt anxious that the Pro testant Church of England and Ireland should be sup ported ; because he conscientiously thought, that if a measure of concession were carried, the Protestants of Ireland would be sacrificed. Such a measure would have a great effect on the lower orders ; and the consequence would be, that Ireland would become altogether a Catholic country. If that were so, he would ask, whether, if the Catholics gained the ascendancy, it would not vitally affect the Protestant Church establishment and Constitution ? He might be an enthusiast ; but this he would say, that as long as he lived, lie would, by the best constitutional means, both in that House and at the foot of the Throne, endea vour to prevent the success of any such measure. If the prayer of the petition were not acceded to, he would call upon the Royal personage at the head of the state (he knew not whether he was disorderly in saying this), but he would call on that Royal personage to act consistently with his Coronation oath, by which he was bound to pro tect the Protestant religion in this country—by which he was bound to protect that Protestant Constitution under which he held his crown. He would advise that Royal personage to act in a manner befitting his dignity, for the security of the Throne, and for the welfare of the country. Lord KING had his information as to what occurred at the meeting from an eye-witness, as well as the Noble Lord. But the Noble Lord stated, as a reason for the appearance of the Clergyman that he had property in Ireland, which circumstance bad rendered him extremely sensitive on this question. Now he conceived that this sensitiveness was the cause of his misconduct; and, with respect to his be ing in the back ground, no place could afford him a better opportunity for making his signals. Lord REDESDALE—What misconduct does the Noble Lord allude to ? What right has the Noble Lord to designate as misconduct the course which this Clergy man took ? The Property presents a favourable opportunity for a highly advantageous investment to Capitalists, being let at low Rents, and capable of considerable improvement ; the principal part is divided into convenient Enclosures with thriving Quick Fences, and plenty of Limestone. The Colliery is reckoned to he of a very superior quality, and an almost inexhaustible Mine, and from its contiguity to the Town of Berwick may be rendered a very highly ad vantageous investment. Particulars may be bad of the Tenants, who will show the Estates; at the King's Arms, Berwick-on-Tweed; Swan, Alnwick ; Bell, Belford ; Bush, Carlisle ; Mr. Brummell, Solicitor, Morpeth ; Mr. Thomas Cheer, Solicitor, at the place of Sale, Turk's Head, Newcastle; Black Swan, York ; 'Waterloo Hotel, Durham ; George, Stamford ; Hen and Chickens, Birmingham ; Messrs.

The Bishop of EXETER had had an opportunity of inquiring into this affair, and found that the Clergyman to whom allusion bad been made, was at the back of the meeting,--that he took no part in the business, but kept himself away. He would not proceed with a course eel re crimination on the other party, which would lead to end- LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24, 1829. less conversation ; but, if inclined to do so he had sufficient materials for that purpose.—The petition vas read and laid on the table. Lord ROLLE presented a petition from the Mayor and Corporation of •Exeter, against further concession to the Catholics. He believed that those Noble Lords who were favourable to the Catholic question would find, if a fair opportunity were given for appealing to the real sense of the country, that it was decidedly against granting any further concessions. He should think it right, if that House agreed to further concessions, even though he steod single, to demand an audience of his Majesty, and to call on him, with his latest breath, to do his duty to his country and his God.—The petition was read, and laid on the table. Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE had to present a petition from Cornwall in favour of the Catholic claims. There were, he believed, in that county, a great number of per sons favourable to those measures of concession which kis Majesty's Ministers had in view. The clergy were hostile to such measures ; but very many of the land-owners viewed them with applobation, beciuse they were of opinion that they would do more to tranquillize Ireland than could he effected in any other way. The petition, which was from the freeholders of the hundred of Shalton, was then brought up. Lord ROLLE said, the Noble Lord, when he spoke of the Catholic Claims as being favourably considered in Cornwall, inust.refer to his own immediate neighbourhood. He balieved that it was the general determination of the people of Cornwall to oppose the Catholic Question. He might be deceived ; hut he believed, if a general meeting were called, that the majority would be found decidedly against granting any further concession to the Roman Ca tholics. Such a meeting was talked of, and he should like to know why it had not been held ? Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE said, it was no more in cumbent on him than it was on the Noble Lord to answer the question which had been put. There was undoubtedly some talk of a public meeting, and he had written to a noble friend of his, for whom he felt the highest respect, that if it were his intention and that of his friends, who were so confident of a majority on their side of the ques tion, to convene a meeting, that he (Lord De Dunstan vine) would take care to attend it, Since that time he had heard nothing about it.—(hear, hear.) Lord ROLLE--I should not have said any thing, if the Noble Lord had not stated that the sentiments of the people of the county of Cornwall were in favour of the Catholic Claims, which I do not believe to be the fiet. Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE.—I deny that I said so. I said that the clergy were unanimously against the ques tion, and that the laity were divided. That was what said. 1 also said, that there were a great number of landed proprietors in favour of those claims, and 1 still assert that fact. (Hear, hear.) I did not say that the uma•- jority of the people of Cornwall supported the Catholic question. Petition laid on the table. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER presented a petition from the dean and clergy of Gloucester, against the Roman Catholic claims.—Laid on the table. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER presented a petition from the clergy of Stonehurst, and of another place, against the Roman Catholic claims —Laid on the table. The Bishop of CHESTER presented a petition from a pariah in Chester, praying that political power should not be granted to the Roman Catholics. The petitioners fur ther prayed, that if it were found expedient to relax any of the laws affecting their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, the legislature would take case to provide full and sufficient securities for the maintenance of the established church. On that point he supposed his Majesty's Ministers would anticipate the views of the petitioners.—Laid on the table. Lord LYTTLETON presented a petition from a body:of Protestant Dissenters at Northampton, pra)ing that every law imposing disabilities or penalties on account of reli gious opinions may be repealed.—Laid on the table. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in rising to pre sent a petition from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of a parish in Ireland, said he was desirous to say a very few words on the subject of the Catholic Question. Ile was anxious to do so, because, from peculiar circumstances, he had been precluded from signing the declaration on this subject which had been generally disseminated through the sister country. But though he refused his signature to that declaration, still he had not, even for a moment, swerved or shrunk from the anxious desire he had always felt for the settlement of the Roman Catholic Question.— The declaration to which he alluded had been sent to him by the Secretary of the Catholic Association ; and he con sidered it as an insult to transmit the declaration through such a channel, as if he were an abettor and upholder of that Association. Connected with Ireland as he was, he would say there never was anything so prejudicial to the cause of the Catholics as the existence of that Association. The persons who composed it had, from its commencement up to the present moment, done nothing that was not cal culated to alienate the friends who had been the constant supporters of the Catholic Claims. What had been the course taken by those people in Ireland ? Why, they had not merely debated on the subject of the Catholic Claims, but they had in their speeches declared that they would look forward to radical reform, to the repeal of the Union, and to the division of church property.—(Hear.)—lt was declarations of this nature that had inflamed the minds of men of all descriptions. The bane of Ireland had been the clubs formed there; and, had the Act of 1825 been carried decidedly into effect—had the Catholic Associa tion been then put down—clubs would not have existed. But this was not done; a re-action was the consequence, and the whole country was thrown into a state of effer vescence and agitation, which could not have occurred if the Bill of 1825 had been promptly acted on. He had passed some time in Ireland during the four last months, and he would say that that country was never in a greater state of prosperity. It was under these circumstances that he hailed—he might say with a feeling of gratitude—the measure which now, he trusted, was about to be carried iuto execution—(Hear, hear)—for healing the wounds of that distracted country.—(Hear, hear.)—He felt deeply interested in the success of that measure ; and he hoped that the Noble Duke at the head of the Government would use all his powers to carry the Bill into effect. It was a most extraordinary thing, that this great object was about to be carried by those who had so long opposed it. He quarrelled not with those who had formerly been hostile to the Catholic Question—he merely looked forward with joy and satisfaction to the great result. When they talked of the sacrifices which this man or that man might make, he confessed that he thought there was only one individual who could be said to have made sacrifices—and that was the individual who could not tender his resignation. If that individual took the course which he conscientiously believed necessary for securing .the happiness of one part of the empire, he would be adored in that country hereafter, and he would be described in her annals as hiving achieved her salvation. In the quarter to which he alluded he believed there was a strong feeling in favour of the Irish people; and if the measure to be pro posed by Ministers received the Royal assent, and became a law, it would excite feelings of gratitude from one end of Ireland to the other. His Majesty would be handed down to posterity as the first Sovereign who had ever, in his speech from the Throne, recommended to Parliament the cause of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Every Noble Lord had an opportunity of stating the feelings, with re spect to this subject, which prevailed in those parts of the country with which he was connected. In the north of England, where it was pretty populous, he had beard no expression of sentiment against it; and in the province of Ulster, in Ireland, there was a general feeling in favour of Catholic Emancipation, accompanied by proper securities. In November last, it was his fortune to visit that county, with which he was intimately connected, and of which he was the representative for fourteen years ; and he found in that county one sentiment of anxious desire to have this question set at rest. In that county, which was, he might nay, the focus of the Protestant party, and the great depot of Orange feeling—(he meant the county and the city of Londonderry)—in that county all the converts that had been made were converts from strong Protestant feeling to a favourable consideration of the Catholic Claims ; while on the other hand, not one person who had been in the habit of supporting the Catholic Question had turned against it. This clearly showed that the question was a gaining one. It was a question which, he was persuaded, must be carried, and therefore he called on the Legislature to look it in the face. If the Roman Catholics were after wards so monstrously ungrateful as to attempt to disturb the Protestant Constitution in Church and State, Protest ant feeling, Protestant energy, and Protestant firmness, would be opposed to any such ambitious project. If he wanted any other arguments to support his .ideas on this subject, he need only refer to the conduct of a Noble Marquis (the Marquis of Anglesea), who not long ago said, that on account of the outrages of the Catholic Association, it would be fit and proper to resist those claims. Why, greater outrages had occurred since ; yet the Noble Marquis, having gone to Ireland--having seen the state of the country—having examined it with his own eyes—had now come forward in the view of the Legislature, as one of the greatest advocates of Catholic Emancipation. This was a strong point, and ought to weigh, and would weigh, with both Houses of Parliament. He would implore those Noble Lords who had opposed this question with so much ardour, to consider the crisis in which the country was placed. In many of their feel ings he participated, and therefOre it was the more painful to him to differ from them on this question. But he would call on them to look at what the progress of this question had been in the last few years, and then to say whether it could remain as it was. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE rose, on the question being put, that the petition be laid on the table, and spoke somewhat as follows :—My Lords, I rise now to declare my sentiments, though I am aware it is somewhat irregular to do so. It was my intention dis tinctly to state my opinion on the subject when the Order of the Day fur receiving the Report on the Bill for sup pressing the Catholic Assocation should come on. Of that measure no man is more decidedly in favour than I am ; but of that, my Lords, more hereafter. I rise, my Lords, now in consequence of an expression which fell from the Noble Lord, whom, I believe, I may be permitted to call my friend, and one of whose remarks has called me up thus early. The Noble Lord said that his Majesty's Ministers were now united on this question. I am glad, my Lords, to see that they are now united, and that this measure has now received the sanction of a united Cabinet of his Ma jesty's Ministers, when for so many years the Government has been divided in its opinions on the measure. That ex pression, my Lords, made me now rise. It would have been more regular, I am aware, to have declared my sen timents when the measure for considering the condition of Ireland came bet'ore your Lordships, than on the pre senting petitions pro and con relative to the measure to be proposed by the Government, when those who sign the petitions can know no more about it than people not yet born. I rise, my Lords, because it has been remarked there is, among his Majesty's Ministers, new a union of senti ment on this subject. I wish, my Lords, that the Ministers had been so united in 1825, but the persons who were then his Majesty's Ministers were not united, and we have gone on to the present time. If they had been united in 1804, it would have ken a great advantage to both England and Ireland. From that period, my Lords, my opinion has been invariably favourable to what is falsely called Catholic Concession,—(hear, hear)--which is not concession to the Catholics, but rather• an Act for altering their present state of degradation—and nothing else. When the great mea sure shall come before your Lordships, I pledge myself to prove, that it is not concession to the Catholics, but a re moval of degradation and the surest means of cordially uniting together eight millions of people.—(Cheers.) Now that I am on my legs, I shall say, that in reserving myself to state my opinions more at length hereafter on this ques tion, I shall give that support to his Majesty's Ministers which they deserve from every man against so unjustifiable, if I may not say so infamous an attack.—(Hear, herr.) If his Majesty's Ministers are now fortunately united to make some arrangement, I shall help them with heart and hand. The Noble Duke shall have all the support pos sible from me, as I cannot suppose that the measure is not the result of deep thought, anxiously intent on the welfare of the country.—(Hear, hear.) It will be forty-six years, my Lords, next month, since I first had a scat in this House, and I thank God, during the whole of this time I have never given a vote of which I ought to be ashamed; but I never have given—l never shall give a vote with so much pleasure as the vote I shall give in favour of the measure to be brought in by the Noble Duke. It is not England only, my Lords, but all Europe which will be benefited by his Majesty's Cabinet being united ; and every ►nan of common sense must wish that this interest ing question—interesting to England, and whatever is con• nected with the interest of Europe—and every rational man must wish for the prosperity of Great Britain as con ducive to the prosperity of Europe and the world. I also think, my Lords, that nothing could have been more for tunate than that the Noble Duke should have been selected by his 'Majesty to be placed at the head of affairs. I rejoice, my Lords, that he has taken this step ; and so long as his Majesty's Ministero continue their present course, they shall have my hearty and cordial support.—(Hear.) In the only conversation, my Lords, that I ever held with the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack on the occasion of my tendering my resignation to his Majesty of the office I held, and which his Majesty was graciously pleased to accept, I then told that Noble and Learned Lord that I never would enter into a factious opposition to his Majesty's Ministers, and that on any question on which the Government was opposed I should conceive it My duty to support them with my vote. What I say, toy Lords, will be confirmed by the Noble and Learned Lord, who, I have no doubt, remembers lily words. Though I may have wished to be in active life, I never will be in a factious opposition; and I consider that the whole country should stand up in support of the Noble Duke, who, I must state, has come forward with boldness, fairness, and candour.—(hear, hear. )_Under these circumstances I do hold that it is my duty before God and man, to declare my sentiments. Being professionally educated, I know something of the Catholics, and I should be the most ungrateful of men if I were ever to forget the reception I met with from them. I have seen them in many different situations as I have pursued my professional duties, and I have always admired the character, the bra very, and the thorough good humour of the Irish people. If that venerable man, my Lords, who gained for this coun try a glorious victory—if Lord Viscount Duncan—if the Earl of St. Vincent, whose excellent discipline and great energy were second to none ; if Earl St. Vincent, whose exertions subdued is spirit of revolt in his fleet, and kept the seamen in submission, when other squadrons had broken out into mutiny, and who likewise gained the great battle of St. Vincent's ; and if that one man, more dear to me than any other Officer—if my Lord Viscount Nelson, who fell in the arms of victory—if they were now alive —if they, with other gallant Officers, could lift up their heads and see the dawn of the tranquillity and happiness now opening on Ireland—if they could see the justice now to be done to the great body of men who fought with them on the lower decks of their ships, and whose bravery ena bled them to gain their victories—how would they now rejoice to see the petitions of their brave associates granted. Great consideration is due to what such men would say, and they would think it was a debt due to the Irish nation. However I might on one occasion have had the misfor. tune to differ from the Noble Individual at the head of his Majesty's Government, nothing can ever induce nie to alter the exalted opinion I entertain of his great personal worth and high military talent. When I recollect the vic tories achieved by the Illustrious Duke, from as it were the first dawn of his great military talent—when I recol lect the brilliant circumstances attendant upon his first charge at the time he commanded a column in India, and contributed so materially to the destruction of the power of the celebrated 'l'ippo Saib—when I recollect all his splendid achievements, from his first victory of Vimerra down to the conclusion of his labours, and the c‘insumsna tion of his glory upon the bloody and well-fought field of Waterloo—l cannot but add my humble acknowlegment, in common with all my countrymen, of the debt of grati tude which we owe him, and the expression of my unqua lified satisfaction that he is now about to repay the debt due on his part to so many of his brave companions in arms, by raising them from the state of degradation in which they have been so long unjustly held by the operation of the Penal Laws.--(Hear, hear, hear.) — I am convinced, indeed, that every thing which can be done for the good of the country, and the prosperity of the people, will be done by that Noble Duke, and I shall there fore make no further observations at present on this sub ject. I trust, however, I have said enough this evening to convince this House and the country that I am serious in the support I intended on all occasions -to give his Ma jesty's Government, in their endeavours to settle this question.—(Hear.)-1 shall have a great deal more to say, however, when the measure intended by the Noble Duke is regularly before your Lordships. The subject is one to which I have repeatedly turned my mind, and which I have at various times considered for the last ten years in all its bearings, and with reference to England as well as Ireland. It may, I have no doubt, be said . that, if your opinions were always in favour of concession to the Roman Catholics, why is it that you have not before avowed them ? My reason, my Lords, is this—the settlement of the Catholic Question has nut until now been made a measure of Government—(hear) ; and although I bad claricig my opinions. In tepoi consideration produce lynserote, oppositioncistdns. present uniformly :euhaeeslirreete bound, otinlot thtspotnasupportoAnJo uol hhei s i oohd n lcot yeuilei opposition for a long period, and con fleeted in early life with many of the distinguished leaders y of this country, I feiC ituation in tvhieh I was p t moment, I could not, w nion eeld spoused fromthe causee leased the Almighty to he concurrence eo l e l n d r i c: cseoloßjtunefyplirsgacetieriisti circumstances vernmeut; and having co l subject, come forward and express my sentiments in favour of the Catholics, as long as the Members of his Majesty's Government were not united upon the expediency of granting the Claims of the Catholics. I saw, however, that the policy of granting their Chinas was every year gaining fresh advocates—l saw that the disunion existing upon the subject of Concession among the Members of his Majesty's Government was every year becomina of - greater consequence—and I felt that I should do harm, instead of good, by any interference in a point which [nest ultimately be conceded, but which I felt never could be conceded with security or wills propriety, unless through thin mediutn of the Ministers of the Crown. So convinced am I indeed of the propriety of this course, that if the Noble Duke had come down to your Lordships' House, and declared that he had formed a Government unanimous in their opinions that the claims of the Catholics should be resisted, I feel I must have adhered to the slate line of policy. My opinions upon the propriety of concessions to these claims might and would have remained unaltered, lint I should have always felt it to be my duty to resist their being factiously brought forward ; for until the opinions of the Members of the Government were united upon the subject, I could not bring myself to believe that the proper time was arrived for an attempt to ' accom plish the object of our wishes. Now, however, I thank God, the (lay is altered, and I trust we shall all join heart and soul in the furtherance of those measures con templated by the Noble Duke, but which I not being in the secret cannot pretend to describe. I hope, -how ever, they will prove, when laid before the House, to be infinitely less objectionable than some Noble Lords seem to imagine. I trust, too, that in the interval between the passing of the Bill which we are to consider to-night and the announcement of those measures by which the Noble Duke purposes to effect this most desirable object, that the Right Reverend Prelates will apply themselves seriously, deliberately, and without the mixture of any unseemly passion or prejudice, to the consideration of the condition in which we are now placed, and what would be the result of its continuance.—(Hear.)—l trust in this deliberation they will call to their mind that they are the appointed Ministers of peace. I trust they will also call to their re collection what might be the situation of Great Britain it those events which are every day taking place upon the Continent of Europe, and which begin to assume an ap pearance of still greater interest to this country, should, by any possibility, give rise to such difliculties as would involve us in another war. I would ask the Right Rev. Prelates whether they can, conscientiously, bring them selves to oppose that measure which may place na in a situation to avoid all hostilities in the present situation offu rope ; and I would ask them still further, whether, knowing that by opposing it they may be the means of introducing hostilities abroad, and enmity at home—l ask them how they can then dare to call themselves the Ministers of Pecree. (Hear, hear. )—I feel I ought to ask pardon of your Lord- . ships for detaining you se long at the present moment, and the more so, as I shall very often be obliged to trotuble the House in the discussions which must take place uporr measures which the Noble Duke intends to propose. could not, however, avoid congratulating your Lordships upon the prospect before you, and expressing my pleasure and satisfaction that the door of the Constitution is at last to be opened to the people of what ought to be the dearest, as I believe it to be the richest province of our united empire. The Illustrious Duke was heard with pro. found attention, and loudly cheered by their Lordships a' the conclusion of a speech which seemed to make a strong impression upon the House. When silence was in sonic measure restored, The Duke of CUMBERLAND rose, and observed, that after having once before expressed himself clearly, and, he hoped, decidedly, upon the Claims of the Catholics, it had not been his intention to trouble their Lordships with any observations until the measure of the Noble Duke was be fore the House. Painful as it was to him at any time, to differ from those with whom he had been in the habit of concurring in political life, it was still more painful to hint to be compelled to differ from those with whom he was connected by the ties of blood. He felt it, however, to he his imperious duty to express his opinion decidedly upoo this subject, and he hoped, therefore, that his Noble Rela tion (the Duke of Clarence) would not take it unkind in him, when he endeavoured to give utterance to the asto nishment he felt when he heard factious motives imputed by that Noble Person to those who were hostile to the Catholics, and his still greater astonishment at the Unfair attack made upon him personally, and upon others, by the application of the term "infamous " to their opposition. His conduct had been, he thought, always fair aid open, and honourable and candid, upon this question, both in that House and out of it. He trusted he should al ways be found conducting himself as a Gentleman and a Nobleman ought 'to conduct himself; and unless the changes about to take place proved very different from what he anticipated, he was determined to continue that fair and candid opposition which he had hitherto endeavoured to display, whenever the question of concession to the Catholics were brought before that House. Feeling that he had always pursued that course, he could not allow his conduct to be stigmatised by the appellations either of factious or infamous.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The Duke of SUSSEX thought it not at all desirable to prolong this conversation, nor did he rise to do so; but he thought it due to his Illustrious Brother (Clarence) to say that his Noble Relation (Cumberland) had taken the ob servations of his Noble Brother in a sense in which they were not meant to be applied. His Illustrious Brother ap plied the observation he had used to the conduct of all those who had expressed violent opinions hostile to Catholic Emancipation. If his Noble Relative applied these words of condemnation to his own conduct, that was his own taste ; all he (the Duke of Sussex) could say in justice to his Noble Brother was, .that he did not mean any personal offence to his Noble Relative. When, however, a Message came from the Crown, recommending to Parliament the consideration of the Question of Catholic disabilities in a constitutional way, and in such a manner as may be found consonant with the safety and security of the Protestant Church, and the rights and liberties of the people, it cer tainly was not at all extraordinary his Noble Brother should express his surprise at the course pursued by many Noble Lords, in their opposition to his Majesty's declared wishes and intentions, and that he should charac terise that conduct as base and infamous. His Illustrious Brother did not, he repeated, intend to apply these obser vations to any individual; but with a feeling that this was a question upon which the people of England ought not to be misled, and that they ought not to be carried away with the opinion of the only point in contention being whether the country was to have a Popish or a Protestant Parliament, he had designated the conduct of those who endeavoured to mislead by the expressions to which his Noble Relative alluded. His Illustrious Brother felt that such assertions, coining from Noble Lords, were calcu lated to do mischief; that it was not treating the question in that mild and constitutional way, which his Majesty recommended, nor putting it fairly to the country. In o h t is lg ht opinion to obe t c he are No fu r l b ho le ‘l:etehreey, made he ad Members staten, en o ts f , or that u s H ed ouse, lan guage which might inflame the public mind, or raise un founded imputations against the conduct of those who felt the settlement of- the Catholic Question to be necessary to the prosperity of the empire. The Duke of CLARENCE, in explanation, denied that he either could, or did apply the expression which had been alluded to in reference to his Illustrious Rela tive; but the fact was, his Illustrious Relative had spent so much of his life abroad, that he had quite forgotten what was due to the freedom of debate in this country,- --(Hear, hear, hear.) The Earl of ELDON rose to address the -House from one of the cross benches. He proceeded to contend, that thoOgh the expressions used by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence did not immediately apply to his Noble and Illustrious Relative, it was evident that they were ap plied to those who-thought and acted with that Noble Duke in reference to this question. Now, with all deep humility, and in the presence of that Noble and Illus trious Person (the Duke of Clarence), he (Lord Eldon) would dispute the charge of base," or -infamous; or factious, a- Iplied to his conduct on this occasion. It was not in a i, ,se, or infamous, or factious manner 'that he opposed the measures of the Noble'Duke (Wellington). He (Lord Eldon) would tell that Noble Duke fairly, that - there was no man he should lie more afraid to attack, but that he - would find in him a generous enemy, and_that in opposing din I -c would merely discharge his duty as an independent Peer of that House. It was a mighty . easy thing for Noble Lords to talk of the present situation of affairs; but lie would say, may God grant that the country shall not have to repent of these measures: at all events he (Lord _Eldon) would ( - lo his utmost to prevent this country from sing converted to Popery, and from having, - instead of a-Protestant Senate, a Popish Senate. (Laughter on the Opposition Benches.) Some Noble Lords laughed -at this, and laughter, from that side - of On House PRICE 7D.

If the Bills were brought in first, and they then suitered is an inquiry, it appeared to him that that would he a new way of Liking the question into consideration. The three illustrious persons who had ad;-tssed their Lord ships that evening had every right to give their assent, or Co state their objections to the measnre about to be intro duced. But whether the opposition to his Majesty's Mi ni4ers should or should oat be characterised as factious, he !Lord Eld/.. - .1) had rimn for the purpose of saying th-At he would ao his duty—his duty to thet HOUK° titid to the Country—and that it was at present his conscientious con viction that he should oppose there measures, if they should he such as he imagined they would be. But if he mis- conceived those nic;sures, lie should be as glad e!.. any man in the country if it were found necessary to abide by them, provided that they were consistent with the Consti tution of the country. Earl GREY said that Cleve were some things in the Noble Earl's (Rhino's) speech which he (Lail Grey) could not suffer to pass without animadversion. That that Noble Earl would with ability, and by every meant likely to give effect to his exertions, oppose the meerares of his Ma jesty's Ministers, he (Lord Grey) entertained no doubt; nor did he believe that the Noble Earl would be deterred by any imputation of factious motives from relaxing in his opposition to those measures. But when that Noble Earl repelled the imputation of " factious," he (Lord Grey) would advise him to take care that his opposition should be conducted in such a manner as not to deserve the name. He (Lord Grey) had passed his political life in opposition, and having been as much exposed as any man to the impu tation of "factious," he was not disposed to cast such an iirtputatinn on the opposition of ethers. But he spoke now, let it be recollected, of a fair, honest, legitintata opposition in that House; and be must say, in justification of the Royal Duke, who, in delivering an opinion that did biro so much honour, with a patriotic zeal for the interests of the country, and with an effect that must be followed by important 'consequences throughout the - empire, had spoken of the factious opposition against this Tines tion,—in justice to that Royal Duke; he (Earl Orey) must say that his complaint was well put, and that he was amply borne out by facts in making it. He would not advert in that House to the publications in a portion of the daily press with which they were every day disgusted, and in which the private lives and the public conduct of the supporters of these measures of concession and relief were slranelessly attacked. But he would ask the Noble Earl what had pansvd in that House ? What had he heard there, even that very evening ? Opinions had been broached which, at another: time, and under other cir cumstances, would have called for the reprobation and censure of the House. Let Noble Lords oppose the :rex sure fairly, openly, and manfully, if they choose. Let thew urge all the reasonings which they could collect upon the subject against the measure, but let them not endea vour, by putting forward unjust representations of the mea sure, and sending forth assertions from that House as watchwords through the country—watchwords of sedition and treason—(hear, hear)—to arouse violence and inspire resistance to the legitimate Government of the country.— (Cries of " Hear, hear.")—Was it not stated that the So • vereign would forfeit his diadem if he should give his con sent to the measure? lie would ask the Noble Earl if th ,t were a fair, a legitimate species of opposition? Wag it not stated in that [louse that if the King consented to Vale measure he would renounce his religion and violate hie coronation oath ?—(Hear, hear.) —Was that, he would a;ain ask, a legitimate means of opposition, or did it not, o.i the. contrary, well deserve the epithet of factious ? Was it - not states, that if this measure passed, his Majesty's right to the throne of these realms would cease?—(Loud cries of " Hear, bear.")—Was not this doctrine broached, and had not the Royal Duke the right to complain of it ?----(Hear, hear, hear.)—Was it not stated, that if this measure passed, not alone his present Ma jesty, but his whole family would be excluded - from the throne, and that the right of succession would not revert to the people and the Parliament, who had conferred it, but to the obscure and almost unknown House of Savoy ? These things having occurred in debate in that House, the Royal Duke had every right to declare his sentiments and to reprobate such a species of opposi tion..--( Hear, bear.)—The Noble Duke opposite (the Duke of Cumberland) should seriously deliberate on the senti ments which lie delivered in that House, and on the effect which they might produce in the country. The Noble Duke had every right to arouse a reasonable and legitimate resistance to the measure, such a resistance as loyal sub jects might give to the Government without exciting amongst the ignorant and deluded,—if such there could be found,—a furious zeal against the measure which was to come before their Lordships. Ile (Lord Grey) could not here help alluding to that assertion of the Noble Duke, which he had not attempted to maintain by argument, that the question now was, whether this was to be a Popish or a Protestant Government, a Popish or a Protestant Par liament. He was sure that that illustrious person must have viewed the question in the manner in which he had expressed, and that he adhered to the conscientious opinion which he then expressed. But in putting it forward as an argument against the measure, its effect must be had. Let Noble Lords reflect but for a moment on the mischief which must follow such a declaration going forth front that House, and from such a quarter, describing the measure as fraught with such evils to the religion of the country. What must be its effect on the country ? was it not calculated to operate as a watchword through out the land—to introduce violent feelings amongst the people, and to excite a spit it he was sure that no one would regret more sincerely than the Noble Duke himself? Hear.)—He (Lord Grey) could not refrain from saying thus much. The Noble Earl (Eldon) would, no doubt, appose this measure witri his wonted talent and ability. He (Lord Gray), whenever this discussion came before their Lordships, would pledge himself to refute the Noble Earl's doctrines with regard to the constitution of the country, and to prove that the Noble - Earl's statement that these laws, which were now about being repealed, formed a fundamental part of the Constitution, was entirely un founded. The Noble Earl had alluded to the laughter which had proceeded from tau.se benches, and be remarked that he considered it a compliment. He (Lord Grey) had often opposed the Noble Earl, but he hail always respected his ability and knowledge. When, however, he heard a certain proposition promulgated—that if this measure were passed we should have a Popish instead of a Protes tant Parliament, —when he heard such au opinion as that expressed, he would confess that he could not com pletely restrain those feelings which were usually mani fested by laughter. He (Lord Grey) had not originally intended to say so much, and he had only trespassed so far o n their Lordships' attention in order to justify the use of the epithet tvhich a Noble Duke who had spoken early in the debate bad applied to the opposition to this measure. The Duke of WELLINGTON would only trouble their Lordships with a few words. It waa riot his intention to talc; ply part ill silo discositm, ` whisk be mut gay Lad been so very irregular and so contrary to the rules of that nou , e.

His Noble Friend had said, that he would oppose him, but that he would be a gene rous enemy. lie (the Duke of Wellington) could never consider him' as an enemy in any light whatever. He could not forget his old habits of friendship with Ida Friend ; and if he differed fro.. hit” nt this snhject, he could never lose the feVTinks of respect which he ahvays entert:kii , ,A I',.s N o ble Friend.

Ile never meant to 'tty that the Noble Duke intended to take the country by surprise. lie merely said, that without su...h ait on the part of the Noble Duke, the toUe.try had been ac- wally taken bz Earl OL ir said that it was now his duty to present to th`i!l - i• 'Lordships a petition of the same nature and with the same oltjects as that which had been just laid on their table. It was a petition which, during the last '2 , ', he had had the honour of prescntinif tc that House. It war the petition of ths3 13.0tt aii tatholics of England, and it was sigue4 !tt!,4st tittnerouslc an •I respectably, by all the Roman Ca hnlie Nobility, Aristocracy, and a great portion of the Catholic :popul ttion of this country. At the head of it was the signature of the Earl Marshal of England, the Duke of Norfolk, and to his Grace's name succeeded those of all the Catholic Nobility and G'entiry in England. On this ercasion, as on all others, the petitioners began by praying the House to take their claims into consideration ; and those claims he would rest. np,,n the grounds of justice and policy—on the ground of justice, as the petitioners prayed relief front disabilities which could net he imposed upon any English subject, except on account of some great state necessity, as their inAietion was to hint a grievous wrong . ; and no the ground of policy, because the peace !tn , l sakty of this great empire had been too long endangered by a divided Government, Parliament, and people. The W LS) petitioners, in his mind, partly considered it to he an ag gravation of the injury of their sufferings, that it should he imputed to them that their end was a monopoly or an ascendancy in the advantages of the Constitution, and not an equality of political rights. He referred to this well founded cempleint, because the unjust imputation, or ra ther calumny, upon the petitioner*, which gave rise to it, had proceeded from a quarter whence he least expected it. He (Earl Grey) considered that no greater error could be made, or a more unjust imputation be alleged, than to charge the Catholic religion with being essentially prolific of immorality and superstition. He believed that there was a great deal of error in that religion ; but he must still proclaim it unjust to confound its doctrinal im perfections with its essential principles, or the principles and conduct of its professors.—(Hear.)—On that point he confidently appealed to their Lordships whether the Ro man Catholic Church had not, in every age, furnished • from its ranks examples of the most conscientious rectitude, sincere piety, and the most heroic devotion,—(Hear, hear.)---He appeale d er the conduct of the Catholics of England Were tot then and always as loyal anti constitu tional as any other class of his Majesty's subjects. If the members of any Christian denomination were to be " judged by their fruits," he would ask, what denomination could boast of more illustrious ashes—of more distin guished citizens—of more heroic defenders of liberty ? He could not but lament that such unjust imputations as those he had alluded to hid been alleged against the Catholics, and he could not hesitate to join with the petitioners in proclaiming those imputations to be most unfounded calum nies. Noble Lords who shot those poisoned arrows did not sufficiently consider the wounds they inflicted. What was the answer to those who charged the Catholic religion with being in its nature corrupt and demoralising ? In the first place, if true, it would be charging the large majority of the Christian world with having been followers of a corrupt and demoralising religion; for the Catholic form of Christianity was that which had prevailed in the Chris tian world for ages. More than that, the Catholic religion was the predominant one at that moment among Christians for the Catholics wera by much the most numerous of those classes or branches, into which, since the Reforma tion, Christianity had divided itself. Those who argued thus on the corrupt and demoralising nature of the Catholic faith, forgot that it was from the votaries of that faith that their Lordships, end all other Protestants, received the Christian dispensation itself. It was therefore not only un charitable, but actually unwise, to cast those unjust impu tations upon a religion that was not ahme the only religion of the ancient Christian world (still that which had most followers), but the source whence the reformed religion itself hail sprung, and had received the means of its growth, maturity, and permanence. He repeated, that he believed the Catholic tenets to be much mixed up with error ; but he still thought it too much for a frail human being to pro nounce on the final consequences of those errors.—(Hear.) He thought that, so long as the Deity was worshipped in perfect sincerity, and in the same spirit of humble desire to be enlightened, it was not for frail humanity, to attempt to divide man from man, and sow disunion in the Christian world, merely on account of doctrinal or disciplinarian differences. In presenting the petition, he thought it right to state, that the numerous and respectable body from whence it came rested in perfect confidence on the gracious recommendations that had proceeded from the Throne in favour of them and their brethren in Ireland. He confidently hoped that their expectations would he realized ; indeed, after what he had heard that night, he could not harbour a doubt.—(Hear, hear, bear.) — He then presented the petition, with a conviction that its prayer would be granted, and with a hope that it would be the last which he should have ever occasion to bring under their Lordships' notice.—( Hear, hear.)—He trusted that before another Session—indeed in a few weeks—he might be able to congratulate the Duke of Norfolk, and the other Catholic Peers who had signed the petition, not as strangers outside the bar, but as Peers in their places in that House.—(Cheers.)—He looked to that among other consequences of the intended measure of Ministers; far, though he was not acquainted with the exact nature of that measure, he rested satisfied, on the confession of the Noble Duke at the head of the Government, that it would he one of extensive relief, inasmuch as it went to repeal all disabilities (with one or two exceptions) affecting the Roman Catholics. Ile trusted, indeed he was confident, that it would not be clogged with such securities as would destroy its efficacy. To securities, other than equal rights and equal protection by the laws, and equal interest in the integrity of the State, afforded, he was ever in principle opposed. He, however, in the case of the intended mea sure, would not object to such as would satisfy the con scientious Protestants, while they did not trench upon the just right.; of the Catholics. In a word, he would not then object to such securities as would ensure the success of the measure, by allaying the apprehension of all parties. He hoped the securities would not be a new source of dis content, but would be just and conciliatory. The Noble Eatl concluded with presenting the petition. Lord REDESDALE was sure that the Catholics, as Catholics, could not give the Protestants of this country satisfactory security for the integrity of their Protestant in stitutions. Beside', thu Roman Catholics in Ireland had reiterated their declarations that they would not offer any security, anti would not accept of any thing but uncondi tional emancipation. Earl GREY presented a petition from the members of the legal profession of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in favour of the Catholic claims. Among the petitioners was Mr. Reeves, a contemporary of a Noble anti Learned Lord (Eldon) then present, who was competent, and he was sure willing, to bear testimony to that Gentleman's respectability. The Earl of ELDON was very willing to bear tes timony to Mr. Reeves' respectability and professional reputation. Earl GttEY next presented a petition from the Unita rian Christians of Hanover-square, Newcastle, and an other from Drogheda, in favour of the Catholic claims. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a retition from Radstock, Somerset, against any further concession to the Catholics. The Right Rev. Prelate said, the pe titien, which was a parochial one, expressed the feelings of the inhabitants of Somerset, who were to one men hostile to further concessions. They expressed the grounds of their hostility strongly, yet decorously ; and were sur prised, that in the 19th century Protestants should he found to propose and sanction measures likely to endanger the Yroteetant estaLplidkaueata of the country. Hi., own opinions etintititt!, , with those siaied in the pe t.;tio. The Earl of CARNARVON begged leave to respect fully, but most emphatically, deny, that the parochial peti tion just presented by the Right Rev. Prelate expres ,, ed the feelings of the people of Somerset on the Catholic Claims, and to deny that the people of that county were to a man hostile to those claims. Ile hPld three roofl to the Ctut- trary in his hard. — three petitions crom three parisheS in Sorattsetshi're in faYout• .of EinancipaCion tF,eetlly disproving the Rigid Rev. Prelate's assertion. If the Right Rey. Prelate expressed his wonder that in the 19th century there mould be found those who would propose 'e,:cliiares like those shortly to be before their LordshipS, he (Lord Carnarvon) must much more express his Wonder; that in the 19th century there should be found persoin so blinded by prejudice and ignori..ke as lo oppose measures in favour of an 4 religious liberty, and conducive to the of all classes of the community. (Hear.) It was easy to explain the manner in which petitions like that pre sented by the Right Rev. Prelate were got up. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS disclaimed lisylnz any share in the getting un cf tll^ yttitiohS which he felt it t, be to present to their Lordships, against the itollitin Catholics. The Earl of CARNARVON did not mean to charge the Right Rev. Prelate with having personally drawn up any of those petitions., Ail he reli7!int to convey to the Eight Rev. Prelate anti their Lordships was, that he and 11 ty Would deceive themselves if they supposed that those petitions expressed the unanimous feelings of the people of Somersetshire on the Catholic question. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented six peti tions from places in Somersetshire. and one from the Arch deaconry of Saruin l egaintt any further concessions to the Roinati Catholics. The Earl of CARNARVON presented a petition from the inhabitants of a district in Somersetsbire, in favour of extending the privileges of the Roman Catholic subjects of its realm. After a few observations from the bishop of BATH and The Earl of CARNARVON beard with unfeigned mar- prise that the population generally of this place were un favourable to the Catholic Claims. Some opposition had been created, by persons interested in the continuance of the present system of exclusion ; but whatever might be the feeling amongst the Clergy, certainly the body of the people there Were well-dispos:a to concession, and had ma nifested no symptom of dissent to the measure of relief c intemplated by his .Majesty's Ministers. The Earl of ELDON presented petitions against fur ther ceneession to the Roman Catholics from the inhahitant of the town of D. nbigh ; from those of Monmouth; of the County of Pembroke; and the Minister and congregation of a chapel in Denbighshire—all in Wales: also from the inhabitants of Deering- Lonsd,le, from those of Kirby- Lonsdale awl Kirin• Moor-side, in Westmoreland front Witney, in Oxfordshite; front the pa•iih of Bolton, and from Halifax; from several p Irishes in the County of Suffolk ; from Stowe and Hartwell in Buckinghamshire; from Warwick, from Haverill, from the Protestant Dis- seaters of Broad-street Chapel, Loudon, and a number of other places, the names of which it was impossible to as certain from the low tone in which they were announced. The Earl of LIMERICK presented the petition of the very populous parish of St. Mary, in the vicinity of Loudon, n favour of further concession to the Roman Catholics. In this parish the fr:aing, he was happy to learn, was almost unanimously with the proposed measure of his Majesty's Ministers. The Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE presented a similar pe tition from certain inhabitants of the county of Down in Ireland. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition which he had been assured had been most numerously and respectably signed by a number of Magistrates, above 50 clergymen, and other resident persons in or near the town of Manchester, to the amount of U,SOO praying that further political concessions and plivileges shou!d not he granted to his Majesty's Catholic subjects. The Earl of ELDON supported the petition. Earl GREY contended that the petition should not be takea as expressive of the general s,mse of the town of Manchester and its population. This petition had been lying for signature ever since the 24th of November last, and as the place contained above 62,000 persons, and only 22,000 had signed, it could not be supposed to speak the opinion of more than one-third of the inhabitants, if so much. He made this reserve, because he had heard that iii their anxiety to obtain signatures the agitators of this petition had called in children at Sunday schools, servants, notorious paupers, and even persons in the work-house.— (Hear.) Petitions had lain at the Cotrunerciahrooins, both at the Portico and the Exchange, for several days, and yet hut a few hundred had signed them ; he believed 600 or 700 in one instance, and 1,100 in another. He admitted it was likely, as those places were the resort of the first persons and principal merchants, the signatures might be those of very respectable persons ; but such were not generally the class of subscribers annexed to this peti tion. In fact, there could be very little doubt with any man acquainted with the true state of public opinion at Manchester, that it was on the whole favourable to eman cipation. The Earl of ELDON defended the petition, and begged the Noble Earl would look over the names subscribed, amongst whom he could not but perceive tn:iny of the most respectable persons in that commercial place. Earl GREY said, be had spoken advisedly, and from very excellent information, as to the mode in which the pe- tition had been su'uscribed. The Duke of WELLINGTON had been induced to present the petition, which had been handed to him for that purpose by a very respectable gentleman. Ile could not, under such circumstances, be expected to answer for all the signatures attached to it; but he believed, and had been assured, many of them were nersons of respectabi lity. It had, he believed, been handed about from house to house for signature, and of course many of the names were those of the occupiers of such _houses. The Noble Duke then presented a similar petition from (as we col lected the petitioner's name) Thomas Pike Farmer. Lord LORTON presented the petition of the Pro testants of the town of Tyrawly, in Ireland, against further concession to the Roman Catholics. The Earl of MOUNTCASIIEL presented the petition of the Mayor and Corporation of the city of Cork against concession, and a similar petition from the parish of Bally organ, in the same county. Viscount CLIFDEN presented a petition in favour of concession from the parish of Craig, Kilkenny ; also other petitions from the same place, against the 'Select Vestry Bill, and the Sub letting Bill. Ile congratulated their Lordships on having had the pleasure to hear from the mouth of a Noble and Royal Duke, the heir presumptive to the throne of these realms, a speech so fraught with sentiments calculated to do him honour. The Earl of SIIAFTESBURY presented a petition from Grimsby against further concession to the Catholics. DANGEROUS ASSOCIATION SUPPRESSION BILL. The Noble Earl then moved the Order of the Day for bringing up the Report of the Dangerous Association in Ireland Suppression Bill. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL believed it was really the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to redeem the pl e dge they had given to the country respecting this Bill now in progress through their Lordships' House. There were two points to which he wished to draw the attention of the Noble Duke. The first was, that he was apprehen sive the restriction was toe vague and general, and might possibly he perverted to the purpose of putting down socie ties or associations of a harmless or even laudable character in Ireland. It might thus not only give an authority to the magistrates to put down illegal and dangerous societies, but possibly furnish a pretext for putting down associations clearly of a beneficial character, such as those for charita ble purposes, or for the purposes of extending e d uca tion throughout a population which so much needed it. It was the universal rule with those bodies not to interfere in political matters ; and hence it might be asked by Noble Lords, how was it possible that such associations, particu larly Haase for education, could come within the scope of the Bill: To this he would answer, that the whole Ca tholic priesthood of Ireland had always shown them selves, and continued, hostile to the efforts of the better orders in affording instruction to the Catholic population. Their objections were not confined to adults, and they sedulously resisted every attempt to teach Catholic children even to spell, or acquire their alphabet. Their power, it was natural to infer, would not decrease when the contemplated measure of relieving the Catholics from their present disabilities should be carried into execu • tion ; and they, no doubt, would be opposed in spirit and in action to their Protestant benefactors. Already they had assumed in Ireland a new tone, and within the last 10 days they had sent the mob in thousands to wieak their vengeance on individuals whom they chose to consider their opponents. This spirit would not cease hereafter to operate when hacked by increase of political power. He trusted they would receive an assurance from the Noble Duke that those associations now existing, founded on the basis of charii,tyyaantl the extension yvaguenaesor ofed perversion l io o n s f , ti l i h e ou t l i d not be fate of associations of an injurious or dangerous s b i e m s r t e i ft t . e h r e etl , character. There was another subject he should advert to, and that was, the use now made, or likely to be hereafter made, of c h urc h es or chapels, or other places of public worship, for the purposes of party, or seditious IIibCCALMS, under tie guise of sermons. Places of public troiship should never be abused, or applied to purposes of political . . _ . discussion : and unless some clauses, not now in the Bill, were introduced to prevent the possibility of this recurrence, he could assure the Noble Duke, from his own experience, that the attempt would be made to pervert these meetings, which ought to be strictly of a religious charecter, to very d ingerotia objects by the priesthood and othall i❑ Ireland. Indeed, withoilt a clause ekpittssly framed to meet this evil, he had no doubt the Dill must fail of its highly desirable object. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that with regard to the first point, he hq;gell their Lordships to bear in mind; that poN,-er V.-as vested in the Lo . rd Lieutenant to de= dare any Meetin . g . or Assembly ttnlawful, and upon notice that it was so, he might grant a warrant to two Magis trates to disperse the Meeting or Assembly. For the exercise of this power the Lord Lieutenant was responsible, and he believed that the Noble Earl would admit that if tl.e Lord Lieutenant was responsible, it was not likely that he would issue his warrant to disperse any meeting or assembly for flit , putposes of charity; of edUcation, or of any other beneficial purpose such as those referred to by the Noble Earl. Neither was the Lord Lieutenant likely to disperse any Meeting or Agientbly which had a leg-al and beneficial object, merely because that object was likely to be ob noxious to others. The Lord Lieutenant would be respon sible for his acts, exercised under the authority give n by this Act of Parliament. With respect to the other point stated by the Noble Lord, as to the use of chapels for the purposes of seditious meeting., he begged to say that there was nothing in the Act which would either directly or in directly warrant their being applied to such an use. The Act would enable the Lord Lieutenant to issue his warrant to two Magistrates to put down seditious meetings wherever he was informed they were held. The Noble Lard had spoken of seditious sertnons. If such sermons were preached, the preachers would he answerable to the law of the land. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL spoke of the difficul ties which the accuser might find in proving the accu sation of sedition. Ile knew how difficult it would be to bring forward Roman Catholics to prove that any seditious sermons bad been pruached, or any seditious speeches used either in their chapels or at their meetings. There was a system of intimidation throughout the country, and they knew that no pro,•ecutors would come forward to pet form such a duty. This act would not prevent the seditious meetings ; reports of them might be sent to the Lord Lieutenant, but by that time the injury would have been done. He, for one, was convinced that instead of this Bill tranquillising Ireland, in less than a year that country would be worse than it was at present. Lord TIEDESDALE believed that this Bill would not prevent seditious meetings in Chapel+. They must be aware that the body against whom the Bill was directed was very skilful in the evasion of Acts of Parlia ment. There was one subject to which he wished parti . cularly to call the Noble Duke's attention. As the Bill stood at present, if any persons assembled for an innocent purpose, they were not secure against the misconduct of others, who might go thither for the very purpose of making the meeting a riotous assembly. He did not think this a very improbable occurrence, since it had actually t.iken place in this very town of London. lie therefore pro posed to the Noble Duke to insert a clause to this effect— " That the Lord Lieutenant shall not have authority to issue a was rant for the suppression of any Society on the ground of a disturbance of the public peace happening therein, through the intrusion of persons not members of that Society." Ile repeated, that as this had actually taken place in London, he thought its occurrence ought to be guarded against in Ireland. He unfortunately knew a great deal of the character of the people, and he did not think it had been much improved since he left the country. If they were left to themselves, they were quiet enough ; but un fortunately their proceedings were not at present of that description. Whets he was in Ireland he saw many Roman Catholic Priests, and many of them were of very respecta ble families, and were very respectable men. One of them said to him, " You have made a great mistake in establishing the education of Priests in this country ; was the younger son of a younger branch of a family of good property, and I was sent to Salamanca for soy education. I there received the education of a gen tleman, and 1 associated with gentlemen, many of whom were nut intended for the clerical profession. I was not taught to preach against submission to the Go vernment of Ireland. I was taught that it was ne cessary to have a Government, and that submission was due to it, and I received my instructions with persons who were in a course of education. for the order of priesthood in Spain,"—a body of men that would certainly be taught props iety and submission to the Government of their coun try. The difference now was very great. It was owing to the educating of priests at Maynooth. As the means of educating men there were easy of access to all classes of people—many of them were of the lowest description.— Instead, therefore, of having a Clergy of Gentlemen, they had now a Clergy of a very different sort. There were other particulars which he might have mentioned, but which he had not adverted to, though they would have cO3- finned his idea of the subject, and he might mention that he hail himself seen persons at Maynooth brought up in a manner not likely to make them good subjects. He had spoken with persons of other countries who entertained the saute opinions which he had just expressed. Ile thought they should contrive that the Roman Catholic Clergy should be of a different description of persons from what the Resnais Catholic Priests were now in that country.— They ought to be brought up with a good dispo sition towards the Government. Much of the disturb ances that had lately existed in Ireland, were owing to their not being so brought up. There was scarcely an in stance which did not prove what he had said. He had one further observation to snake, and he was sure it would be confirmed by the Roman Catholic gentry in Ireland, and that was, that they were not treated in the same manner as they had been some time ago. He had not the least doubt that that circumstance was owing to the edu cation of the priests in Ireland. Formerly the persons who presented to the livings in Ireland were the Ro man Catholic gentlemen, and they were then treated with respect. There was a sort of union between the priest and the inhabitant of the parish. There was now no such union. The priest was not now ap pointed to the parish of hie birth. When the estates of the Roman Catholic gentry had been confiscated, and had passed into the hands of Protestants, the descendants of the Catholic proprietors were allowed to present the Ca tholic Priests to those parishes where they formerly held livings. There was then a sort of reciprocal good feeling thus kept tip between the gentry and the priesthood, espe cially when in former days the gentry used to present their younger sons or their friends to these parishes. That sort of nomination was now at an end, since the Priests had been educated at the College of Maynooth, and it was im possible there should be any of that sort of connection since the ties of family and education had been thus changed. Their Lordships must know that the respectability of the Clergy ought to be preserved by their education, and if he was rightly informed, so far from that being the case with the present Priesthood of Ireland, that they were of the lowest order. He knew these things from having, in the course of his duty, visited the College of Maynooth, in which, however, the officers of the Government had but little real power or controul, far being but four persons, the Lord Chancellor, the two Chief Justices, and the Chief Baron, they xvere outnumbered by the five on the other side, and could consequently effect nothing of importance with regard to the regulations of the College. He thought that good order ought to be restored among the people. The character of the lower orders of people in Ireland was of that sort, that if not urged by persons who meant mis chief, they would go on with great quiet. ( The Noble Lord here sat down very abruptly, and apparently under the influence of some strong and sudden excitement of feeling.) , A NOBLE LORD believed that the character just given of the present priesthood of Ireland was perfectly true. 'lhey were adverse to any thing like the real improvement of Ireland. Lord REDESDALE observed, that what had affected him so much just now, was his strong recollection of the personal attachment which had been shown him by the lower classes in Ireland. He spoke mast especially of those who were his own workmen. The Earl of WICKLOW declared, that in his opinion, the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ireland did not, hi the least d egre e, deserve the character which had just been given them by the two Noble Lords 'rho had preceded him. He knew that many of them were of the lower descriptions of persons ; but, generally speaking, they were well dis posed towards the Government ; and when that great measure, which was now in agitation, should have been carried, the Roman Catholic priesthood would chew them selves as loyal and well disposed as any other men. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE agreed fully with what had fallen from the Noble Earl, as to the good dispo sition of the Catholic Clergy. They had a most difficult ta-k to perform. They had the care of a large population, that in many parts of Ireland had not received any of the advantages that flow from extended instruction. They had been hitherto an excluded portion of the King's subjects, and, some allowance must be made for the situation in which they had thus been placed. They were otherwise well dis posed towards the Government. Ile did not know what the measure was which the Noble Duke intended to lay before the House, but he lakd COMM to believe that it Would be satisfactory to all parties, nnd wai sure it wotld be highly useful to the country. The Report was received, and the Bill ordered to Le committed to-morrow.—Adjourned at a Quarter to Nine. ) for filling up the (hop links in the historical proceedings ° I the whole House, by putting on the Journals proceeding' in Select Committees, incorporated with the proceeding ° of the whole House. This he merely threw out as a sug", gestion well worthy of consideration. SUPPLY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for bringing up the Report of ths Committee of Supply. Mr. O'NEILL wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentle' man if any step had been taken towards the abandonmen / of Sierra Leone, a place which was more fit for the trans' portation of criminals than the establishment of a color/. Sir G. MURRAY said that lie had received no intints' tion that this question Would be put to him, but he had n" objection to answer it. /le eves not aware that there %Si any immediate intention of abandoning that colony, b yt I steps had been taken to reduce its expenses itith a view t t its ultimate abandonment, but that was a step Which f l \mild be very injudicious to carry atiruptly into effect. Mr. HUME said, that front the understanding whit, existed last Session he did expect that something wont he done respecting this colony. But for this understandingb e would hare brought forward a motion upon the subjec t ' fur the colony of Sierra Leone had been the tomb of !nor ° Englishmen than all our other colonies together. Goof' nor after governor, and corps after corps, was swept aws/' and it Was necessary to send out the various officers in tri" plicate to supply the horrible mortality. He regretted the, answer which hail been given, and if no one elsa soul' bring forward a motion on the subject, he would do f 4 himself. Sir G. MURRAY said that he had merely etated elf difficulties of carrying such a matter into execution. Mr. HUSKISSON had never intimated to any Off during the time that he had the honour to hold the sel ls of the Colonial Department, that it was in the contemplv tion of his Majesty's Gevernment to withdraw .our eats' blishments altogether from Sierra Leone. Every step practicable, however, had been taken to reduce the mot' tality in that colony; and with that view the ditties of ll had been made to devolve as much as possible on the rr luntary residents in the colony, and on the African core' When he stated that the private property in buildings, be' in the colony amounted in value to above a million sterling:: it would at once Le seen that any sudden abandonment 01 it would be attended with injustice as well as with diffr culty. The same obstacles, however, did not exist with reference to Cape Coast Castle. Lord NUGENT, adverting to the Reports made by th e Commissioners, who, three years ago, were sent out to W . ' quire into the state of our Colonies on the coast of Africa' wished to know whether it was intended, in the peesen; ; Session, to introduce any measure founded on those Report,* General OASCOYNE observed, that if no other Moab°, would do so, he would move for a r e turn of the number °` Europeans who had been lost in a Colony more destructi O to human life than any establishment of a similar kind tba t had ever existed. Sir G. MURRAY said, since he had entered upon °Ore' had endeavoured to pave the way lOr an ultimate abandon' meat of the Colony, and should be very happy whenever might be in his power t o propose c a rrying that object 0 effect. • Lord NUGENT said a few words in explanation. THE CANADAS. Mr. LABOUCHERE wished to ask whether it was tit" intention of Ministers to propose any measures, or give la' informatien to the House, respecting the large and impor P ant Colony of Canada. He was peculiarly anxious for ir formation on this subject before any money was spent iet the defence of that settlement. The same unfortunate dir scution, of which so much had been heard, was still r eign' ing in Lower Canada. The Report of the Canada COT' mittce bad been received in that country with gratitnt and he greatly feared the consequences of disappointing t' expectations it had been the means of raising. Sir GEORGE 'MURRAY conceived that incase ° might be adopted to improve the situation of that colon/' and it was his sincere wish to effect that object. He ' I I; not at that moment able to state to th e H o use what wow, be precisely the measures adopted for the purpose—for th!' reason, that it was necessary to obtain further common': cation from Canada uron many points upon which tb Hon. Gentleman opposite, as an active Member of the CI nada Committee, must be aware there was a great de e ciency of information.—The report was then read. Mr. HUME wished to advert to the petitions that Pvi been presented to time House, praying for a reduction taxation. Notwithstanding the very strong assuraneL held out to the country in the last Session—notwithstan u ., ing what,: the Finance Committee meant, the three O n / mates on the tattle of the House only differed by 231,0 00 ' 1 from those of the preceding year, the aggregate anioon, being 13,753,5:331.

There had been , i progressive saving in the establishment. There had alrea' , been a saving of 1,000/. a-year on the original expen de / ture of 12,9001., and he thought that would be suffieic!, to satisy the House that every attention had been paid ``i economical reduction. The Government would be foil to hare no Secretary . ; there had been a Clerk attached A the Gi• but his offir was and this forrer to Governor, but ice given up, a part of the reduction. The Agent had been appointecia when the College had been larger, and it had been foriO( more economical to give him a fixed salary than a r e tentage. Mr. HUAIE thought the Mutiny Bill ought to be re .' duced three-fourths. Sir HENRY HARDINGE said, that it would be r e duced this year by one-half. He understood that Sir Becket was instructed to bring in the new Bill.—The oo ti ' mates were then passed. LIFE ANNUITIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 1 101 ,' the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into c Committee of the whol e House on the Life Annuities He begged to remind the House that the Act which b recently been in force to grant annuities had limited tbl: grants strictly to Lice Annuities. It had prescribe d rules under which parties might have annuities on one 1; upon joint lives, or upon lives in reversion. It was noW intention to extend the previous measure so as to give polOor to the Commissioners to grant annuities for wino years, either commencing at the period when the 4 Pir t . o 01 made the payment, or at a later period, or after a number of years, or after some life on which the Pl, r ' might wish to be secured. Those who were not of a P" . „ 4 vident disposition, were generally little inclined to r e money down with a view of gaining an increased incoili at the end of a certain number of years. He, therefo,fe; (lid nut calculate upon any considerable amount of soar!? upon this principle. With respect to deferred ann wti after a definite period, persons might be aware of c iret o ; stances which might make it prudent to make a aces for a period for the sake of a future advantage. 113 „ " Ii i Bill he was about to introduce, he intended to inc 1,1 every possible variation of annuities. The next imp9l'd point to which lie wished to allude was the *iterate ! ' the tables on which lie proposed te make his calcula tion The former Acts had adopted the Northampton Table, which had been found to give a less favourable repres ent ; thin of human life than actual experience authorised tbeto to entertain. Front the deaths entered in the var io o great Assurance Offices, and from the known great proPl of those establishments, it had been found that Dr. Fri c 'y tables did not give a fair estimate of the value of life. t o had been found that longevity had much increased of years. Dr. Price's tables Lad been calculated with re i `j e ; ences to the deaths of only one town in England, an d , a very limited period, (luring which the deaths in „,, thampton had even - exceeded the births, notwithstan al cb a which the population had increased. It was obvi o l e l therefore, deaths must have been included of peisons %°, OO were nut in existence in that town when the calculatio commenced. In order to ascertain the real term of IWO, life, the observations ought to be made upon persona ft ti c commencement of their existence to its terminat,") without any admixtuie of other parties.

Mr. PLANTA moved for a New Writ for the Borough tif Westbtiry, to return a Member i❑ the room of Sir M. Lopez, who has accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. Sir WM. GREY moved for a New Writ for the Town Of Newark-upon-Trent, to return a Member in the mom of Clynte, who has also accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. SHIRLEY presented four petitions from places in the county of Monaghan against concessions to the Catholics. Mr. J. BROWN presented two petitions from West port and another place in the county of Mayo in favour of Catholic Emancipation The Hon. Member expressed great happiness in the prospect now rising on the United Kingdom. Mr. BELL presented a petition against concessions to the Catholics, from the Clergy of Newcastle upon• Tyne. Sir J. LONNTTHER presented four similar petitions from places in Cumberland. Sir G. FEATHERSTONE presented similar petitions from Ballynahon and Grmnard. Mr. B. CLARKE presented a petition in favour of the Catholics from Castleconner. Colonel ROCHFORT presented a petition against fur ther concessions from the Protestants of Palleskenny in the county of Limerick. Admiral HARVEY presented four petitions against Ca tholic concessions from places in the county of Essex. Sir M. SOMERVILLE presented seven petitions in favour of Catholic emancipation, from places in the county of Meath ; also petitions from the same places against the Sub-letting and Vestry Acts. Mr. MOORE presented a petition from Corer, in the county of Wexford, against further concessions to the Ca tholics ; also a similar petition from Inch. Mr. LOCKE presented a similar petition from the Pro testants of the Eastern part of the county of Deven. The Hon. Member said, that he had voted against his Majesty's Ministers upon the question of the repeal of the Test anti Corporation Acts, and he had no reason to regret that vote. lie had also been an uncompromising opponent of Catholic Emancipation, but now when Ministers had declared their intention to patronise that measure, he thought the least that could be done in common cour tesy was to suspend his judgment until the House was made acqu tinted with the nature of the Bill about to be introduced. He should adopt that course, and be guided in his conduct by the provisions of the Bill. Admiral EVANS presented a petition from Doneraile, in the county of Cork, against the Catholics. Mr. H. MAXWELL presented similar petitions from Castle Lyons, and another parish, in the county of Cork, praying for the suppression of the Catholic Association, also similar petitions from Armagh and other parishes. Mr. LATOUCHE presented a petition from several parishes in the county Kildare, in favour of the Catholics. Mr. MIDDLETON presented a petition front Clifton, Staffordshire, against the Catholics. Mr. DUNCOMBE presented similar petitions from the parish of Helmsly and two other parishes. Mr. WEBB presented a petition from the Rural Deanery of Gloucester, against Emancipation. Mr. B. COOPER stated that he was desired to give this petition his support. It was within the precincts of the:Rural Deanery of Gloucester that the spot was situate where the unfortunate Bishop Hooper was martyred, and the blood cried from the ground, exciting them to resist any innovation on the Protestant Constitution, as also to pre vent the political power of a church, whose ministers had been guilty of such a barbarous murder, whose creed was still unchanged, and whose opposition was as dangerous as ever. Mr. HOBHOUSE, said he had seen the petition which contained a pas-age to the effect, " That this House should now reject that which had been before repeatedly rejected by the House of Commons." Now whatever knowledge the petitioners might have of what passed respecting Bishop Hooper, they appeared very imperfectly acquainted with what passed in modern times ; for it was a fact, of which the Rural Deanery seemed ignorant, that instead of having repeatedly rejected the measure of Catholic conces sions, the present House of Commons had repeatedly ap proved of it.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ESTCOURT said that in later times the ques tion had been carried as well as the Roman Catholics could wish. He meant the question whether a Committee should be appointed to take the Claims into consideration, as he considered that the Claims bad never been before the House, but merely whether they should take them into considera tion. It did not follow that if the House went into Com mittee they would be obliged to grant the Claims. Dr. PIIILLIMORE could not let this petition be read without saying a few words. He must protest against such expressions as shedding the blood of martyrs being in ' troduced. No doubt, in ancient days, the Rural Deanery of Gloucester had been the scene of bloodshed, but was there any danger now to be apprehended fur giving to the Roman Catholics their just rights ; he was a most staunch ' supporter of the Protestant religion, and he would say that by supporting Emancipation they were not endangering that religion they were called upon to protect, for not one of the supporters would for a moment allow of any innovation. At the time of the Revolution, it never was contemplated to exclude Roman Catholics from that House.—(Hear, hear.) He could assure Hon. Members that his Majesty's Ministers had no intention to change the Protestant Constitution ; those who had fears on that head he (Dr. P.) should be ready to meet and try to remove, when the proper time arrived for discussing the measure. Sir E. KNATCHI3ULL would only make one observa tion on what had passed, which was, that if the House had often approved of concessions to the Catholics, they had likewise very often rejected any such measure.—(Hear.) Mr. BRANSBY COOPER would still contend that it was right and proper for the petitioners to state the grounds on which they petitioned that House; and in doing so, those important facts in the history of this country ought not to be forgotten ; it was the most important ques tion the House was 'ever called upon to decide. The petition was then brought up and read. ted n General KING presenh . a petition from a parish in the county of Mayo, ag Linst any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. Lord BECTIVE presented a petition from the inhabi tants of Castledown, in the county of Meath, in favour of concessions to the Roman Catholics; and another petition from the same place against the Sub-letting Act ; also a similar petition from another place in the same county. Mr. CURTEIS presented a petition against Catholic Emancipation from a village in the county of Sussex. Mr. D. W. HARVEY moved for returns of all causes entered for trial in his Majesty's Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, at Westminster, during the past year, with the:amount of the verdicts obtained also for the amount of all monies expended in the Building of New Churches; also for returns of all sums of money given in Charitable Donations for the same period.

Gentleman observed, that it had been his intention to make some observations on the extraordi nary conduct of the Right Hon. Secretary of State ; but as that Right Hon. Gentleman was not now a Member of the House, and as he (Mr. Dick) was not without hope that, on his return to it, the Right Hon. Gentleman might be found to have again changed his opinions (a laugh), he would abstain at present from trespassing upon the House. Mr. BERNAL moved for several returns relative to the Trinity- house. Mr. JEPHSON presented a petition from Whitechurch, Cork, against the Select Vestry Act. Mr. BROWNLOW presented several petitions from places in the counties of Armagh, Tyrone, Antrim, Deny, and Cavan, in favour of the Catholic Claim,.

annt.:tir l under the rnovisions of 1745, 1746, 1757, 1 766, 1778, and 1779. To these he would add the Iri,li Tontine of 1773, 1775, 1778, and the English Tlntine of 1789. To all of these would be added the observations on the losses of those who had purchased annuities within the last twenty years, under the Act regulating the Annuities from the Sinking Fund. Theme tables will include not less than 24,000 persons, from the earliest period of life to its termination, whilst the Northampton Tables were calculated upon between seven and eight thousand lives. By a calculation made in the Northampton Tables, it appeared that out of 10,000 tnale pettons who obtained life annuities at the age of 40, 284 died before they attained the age of 41. By another • calculation, the amount of deaths within the same period was 180. Taking the age of 50, it was found, that of 10,000 persons will obtained pensions at that age, 131 died before they attained the age of 51. By the calcula tions recently made, it was found;that theinumber of deaths et the same age was greater in men than women. For in etance, the number of deaths out of 10,000 men within a • given period, was 134, whilst the number of deaths amongst an equal number of women for the same period, was 112. This was between the aga of 40 and 41. Be , tween the age of 50 end 51 the number of deaths were— males 166, and females 120, out of 10,000 of the different sexes; so that it would be seen that there was a greater chance in favour of women attaining a considerable old age than of men ; and by a reference further back than the last twenty years, the proportion would be found still greater in favour of females. He thought, therefore, that the Rill ought to be framed according to the altered state of the tables, with reference to the lives of men and women. The tables were made out at length with reference to each ease of men and women, and were so voluminous that they could not be appended to the Bill, as was formerly the Case. If such were to be the case, the Bill would be rendered so can brows as to be difficult of access. But the heads of the Treasury would announce them in the Gazette, and copies of the tables would he placed in the office of the Commissioners for the reduction of the national deht, and at the Treasury, so that parties desirous of purchasing tho se annuities might have the fullest and most authentic intelligence upon the subject beforehand. There was one other point upon which he wished to say a word or two. Heretofor e the Commissioners f'or the reduction of the na tional debt returned the stock purchased, and applied the interest of it to the reduction of the national debt. But as the Finance Committee had recommended that the • funds for the reduction of the national debt should be dis posed of differently, he should, in a few days, introduce a new measure on the subject, which would have the effect reducing that debt effectively, though, perhaps, insen sibly. He hoped, under all the circumstances, the Cute- mittee would accede to the resolution, and allow the Cotn missioners to grant annuities on the terms set forth in the tables. Mr. HUME thought it e;sential to the interests of the public that the tables should be published, in order that they might be able to judge of and place confidence in their c(,rrectness. • Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN also thought it necessary that the tables should be published, for the information of the House and the country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was anxious to afford the House and the country every informa tion in his power, but must repeat that the tables were too voluminous to be appended to the Bill. - He agreed that a summary of them might be published, and he should take care that it was done in such a way as to show the fair and equitable value of annuities. Hr. A. BARING thought it would be advisable to defer all furthe r progress of the Bill until the tables were printed, and before the House and the public; and therefore he re commended that the Bill should be deferred until after Easier, Mi. MABERLY said a few words, which were alto gether inaudible in the gallery. Mr. HUME asked the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the tables were the production of a single individual, or whether they had been so checked as guard against error? After a few words front Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in explanation; that the calculations had been formed upon the most unerring principles, and were, he trusted, free 'from error. Sir F. BARING said a few words, which were not beard in the gallery. Mr. DIUSKISSON thought that the measure proposed • by his Right Hon. Friend would be productive of great benefit to the country-, as it would have the effect of guard ing the public from falling into those errors which had on various occasions taken place. As his Right Hon. Friend had stated that he would, in a few days, introduce a mea.- +lure for the more effectual disposal of the surplus revenue toward s the reduction of the National Debt, he would take leave to throw out a suggestion for his consideration. We had by the Treaty of 1814, secured a loan of 2,000 ,0001. dn a by Holland to Russia, for which a Sinking Fund was provided. Now, as we were paying 5 per cent. in terest for that money, he thought it would be preferable to wipe off the debt at once, and as money for that pur pose might easily be obtained at 4 per cent. a saving of 20,0001. a year would thus be effected. That certainty was not a very large . sum ; but it would he desirable to make • it, at the same time that we wiped off the charge of owing such a sum to a foreign State. • The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that there were, if he understood rightly, two other con tracting parties to the Treaty, without whose concurrence no step could be taken. He spoke doubtingly, however, as he had not at that moment an opportunity of referring • to the Treaty itself. Mr. HUME asked whether a fair opportunity did not now present itself to Ministers for getting rid of the Usury Laws ? These Laws had long been an injury to Public dealings, and he was sure that the sense of the enlightened portion of the community was opposed to th em. The Resoltition was then agreed to. The House having resumed, the Report was brought up a nd ordered to be received to-morrow. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Seven o'clock. THE SPITALFIELDS SILK WEAVERS. The following is a copy of the letter written by the Duke of Wellington, in reply to the Petition of the Journeymen Silk Weavers : " London, Feb. 18, 1519. have received the Petition of the Journeymen Silk Weavers. My attention has long been given to a co nsideration of their case, with others of his Majesty's servants. "It appears that their distress is to be attributed to REn ußgling, rather than to the state of the law affecting the M anufacture in which they are engaged. " It is quite obvious, then, that the remedy cannot be found in the prohibition of the importation of silk manu factures from foreign countries. " I think it proper to say so much in answer to this Petition, assuring the Petitioners that I will continue to attend to their case, in hopes of discovering some mode by Which permanent relief can be afforded to them. " In the meantime, 1 have received his Majesty's corn wands to subscribe, in his Majesty's name, for their tem porary relief from the distresses under which they are , labouring.

Chron irk .. . . . LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21., IB2P. The patriotic speech of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE, last night, in the House of Lords, will be hailed with sincere delight by the great body of the people, and must form a complete antidote, if such, indeed, were wanting, to the con scientious address of the Duke of CUMBERLAND the other night. His MAJESTY is for concession to the Catholics :—the Duke of CLARENCE, HEIR Presumptive to the Throne, is for concession—no not concession as his Royal :Highness emphatically phrased it—but for JUSTICE being done to the Catholics. HE is anxious —and, bear this, ye Into lerants !—he has been anxious ever since 1804, five and twenty years ago—for the removal of the degradation under which eight millions of his MAJESTY'S subjects have so long suffered. The Royal Duke has sat in the House of Lords for forty years and never gave a vote, nor will ever give a vote with such heartfelt satisfaction as he will give one in favour of the measure brought forward by his MAJESTY'S Ministers, whom he is resolved to support, in the great act of justice about to be done to Ireland. That noble measure, as the Duke not more felicitously than justly termed it, is a sub ject of congratulatiOn for Europe. now much more is it a subject of congratulation—of thanksgivini— of unity and strength, and eternal conciliation to the happy people of this kingdom ! The Duke of CLARENcE said that it was his determination I to support the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government and his Colleagues, who have been so calumniously and so infamously attacked for bringing this measure forward as one of Administration. The opposition of that party to a measure for the restoration of peace and good will among his Majesty's subjects, the Duke considered not only infamous but factious, and it truly is so because directly at issue with his MAJESTY'S recommendation to Parliament, and at variance with the interests of the people. The Duke of CUMBERLAND felt somewhat uneasy at this observation or rebuke, whether deservedly or not is best known to himself, and said that the course he had adopted was fair and hottest; for he had only done his duty in telling the House and the country his sentiments on this question. The Duke:of SUSSEX observed that the expres sions " infamous and factious" were directed against any individual; but if his Royal Brother of CUM BERLAND took them to himself, he could only say, that was merely a natter of TASTE—which is per fectly true, for there is a wonderful diversity of opi nion, and singularity of feeling in matters of Taste. The Duke of CLARENCE replied, that there was some excuse for the errors into which his Noble Re lative had fallen, by supposing that the terms were applied to him, for he had been so long abroad, that he had probably forgotten the freedom of debate I The effect of the Duke of CLARENCE'S Speech will be this—it will at once DECIDE the wavering among some members of the Church—for what reason or what right have Churchmen to talk of danger to the Constitution where the KlNG—and the Heir Presumptive apprehend none ? Is the Church more interested in the safety of the Consti tution than his MAJESTY ? The pretension to such is ridiculous—it is even factious. Another consequence of the Duke's speech will be--the certain return of Mr. PEEL for Oxford. The hopeful members of the Convocation are too wise to turn their backs upon the rising Sun. The Allgemeine Zeilung of the 17th inst., re ceived this morning, contains the following specula tions with respect to the approaching movements of the Emperor NicitoLts. Whether they will be verified remains to be seen : FROM THE onEn, FEE. 7. Though the presence of his Majesty the Emperor Nicho las, and-the celebration of his coronation in the capital of the kingdom of Poland, would he hi;hly gratifying to the whole nation, the last accounts from St. Petersburgh gave but little hope that this event will so soon take place as was lately thought probable. The campaign for this year will commence as soon as the state of the weather will allow of it, and it is said that his Imperial Majestrintends to assume at the very beginning the chief direction of the operations. Now, as the ceremonies of the coronation at Warsaw must render the presence of kis Majesty in that city necessary for several weeks, it is not supposed that, under present circumstances, the Emperor will be disposed to sacrifice so much valuable time. On the other hand, it is pro bable that his Majesty, before he leaves St. Petersburgh for the army, will pay a visit to the Grand Duchy of Fin land, which, as that province is so near, would require only a few days. Though the Emperor should not have an interview with the King of Sweden on this occasion, it is not unlikely that the Crown Prince Oscar may t a k e advantage of this opportunity to pay his respects to the Emperor at Ile!singl et s. The aiirutnents in Finland are said to be not so consider:aide as 'they were represented, and by no means to be caused by any doubts of the friendly sentiments of a neighbouring State.

By a letter from Dr. PIIILLPOTTS to a friend at Oxford, inserted in our columns of to-day, it will be seen that the Dean of Chester has satisfactorily de fended himself from the charge—so hastily brought against him—of inconsistency in his opinions. He brings forward proofs, deduced from his own writ ings, that he has never been inimical to Emancipa tion, provided that sufficient securities were guaran teed to the Protestant religion, and adds, with be coming reserve, that he shall withhold his opinion until this question of securities is brought fully be fore the consideration of Parliament. Really, under existing circumstances, we do not see what more or less the worthy Doctor can do. The most inveterate Anti-Catholic cannot surely condemn him for with holding his decision until he knows what is the na ture of the measures to be brought forward. It is the only respectable course that he can adopt. We understand, that in consequence of the large number of voters who are expected to be present in Oxford, at the ensuing election for the University, Mr. PEEL'S Committee have felt it necessary to de thin coaches for the conveyance of his friends in all the principal towns, especially at Bath,Excter, Chel tenham, and Birmingham. Of the Oxford non-residents, the Juniors are un derstood to be generally favourably disposed towards Mr. PEEL. Whether successful or beaten at Oxford, Mr. PEEL will take hi; seat on Monday next, March 2; to secure this, Sir G. WARRENDER vacates West bury, for which Mr. PEEL, if beaten at Oxford, will be returned. Should Mr. PEEL be re-elected for Oxford, Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD iS to 511 for West bury. It is positively asserted that the Irish Primate, Lord ;Tolls BERESFORD, has decided on voting for concession. The number of votes in the Howse of Commons, on which Government may count, is calculated as high as five hundred. So secure indeed are Minis ters in the Lower House, that the DUKE has ex pressly permitted one underling to vote against the forthcoming measure, to quiet his alleged scruples of conscience. In the House of Lords no relaxation is allowed, though there the majority must be con siderable. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

EPIGRAM To THE ORANGEMEN. Rave on, rave on—but in spite of your zeal The Orange must wither, deprived of its PEEL. The Duke of Cumberland arrived in town at a late hour on Sunday night, from a visit to his Majesty, at his Palace at Windsor. The Duke of Newcastle had an interview yesterday with his Royal Highness at his apartments in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence came to town yesterday morning from their seat in Bushy Park ; the Duchess stopped at Gloucester House, Park-lane, on a visit to the Duchess of Gloucester; the Duke proceeded to the residence of the Princess Augusta, in the King's Palace, St. James's, where be received visits from the Duke of Cumberland, and also from the Earl of Cassilis and other noblemen and gentlemen. His Royal Highness went to Gloucester House in the afternoon, and returned to Bushy in company with his Duchess. Lord Ellenborough transacted business yes terday at the Foreign Office. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland l ea v e town to-day finally, but they do not go direct for Ire land ; they stop for a week or ten days at the seat of Earl Powis, the father of the Duchess, and then proceed to Ire land.. It is not improbable that Earl Powis will spend the greater part of the spring in Dublin. The Duke of Nor thumberland does not at present contemplate a very lengtht.ned tenure of delegated Majesty—aay a year. PA V AT ONE' O'CLOCK. FRICES or sTorri: ic B ink stock :3 itC7 Cent.

COURT OF CHANCERY. IN THE MATTEIt OF MITCHELL, A LUNATIC. The private hearing of this case again occupied the Court during tlie whole of the day. COURT OP KING'S BENCII. PAI:1:F. 7'. \ QUES. This tval an action by the a surgeon and apothecary at Gravesend, to recover the sum of 261. 135., from one of his patients for medicine and attendance. Sir J. ...',CARLETT stated the case, and called Frances Wright, a nurse, who attended defendant in his illness, in 18?4; he lived at Gravesend ; was with him, Mr. Jaques, about five months, and Mr. Rake attended hint, and sent medicine every day ; Mr. Jaques recovered. John Armstrong, assistant to plaintiff, proved the 261. 13s. was a reasonable charge for the medicines and attendance. The distance of the defendant's residence from the plaintiff's was about two miles. If a person was affected with a complaint similar to what might be collected from that bill, the medi cines there supplied were proper. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. HurrmNsoN contended that the evidence was not sufficient to form a case for the Jury, inas much as the nurse stated that the attendance was in 1824, whereas in the plaintiff's bill there was not a single item charged in that year. Lord TENTERDEN considered that there certainly was, as there were many persons i❑ a much better situation than the nurse who might have made much greater mistakes with regard to dates. It was sufficient that she proved five months' attendance. Mr. litrrenNsos then stated to the Jury that the question put to the shopman relative to the property of the medicine and the nature of the disease, was complete nonsense, as no person could possibly judge from the bill which was put into his bands, whether the patient had any particular disease, or whether he had any at all, as the charges for medi cine were equally applicable to all complaints, or to none at all.—(Laughter.)—There was nothing but mixture, mixture, and draught, draught, and the only particulars which he condescended to were bleeding a lady, and it appeared that he meant now to bleed the plaintiff—( Loud laughter)—in another way, as there was no evidence that the latter knew any thing about the lady. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 26/. 9s. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. At the sitting of the Court twenty-three prisoners were discharged by proclamation, the Grand Jury having ignored the bills prepared against them. Thomas Wilson was charged with fraudulently ob taining from Mr. Upsall, a pawnbroker, several sums of money. The prisoner, a working silversmith, was in the habit of pledging crude silver with the prosecutor, and, from his constant visits, die articles he brought were seldom looked at, but the sum he asked for ad vanced; but, in consequence of something that oc curred, the pledges were inspected, and it was soon discovered that instead of being silver, as repre sented by the prisoner, they were only pewter. He shortly after this discovery brought another quantity to pledge, which, like the former ones, was only pewter : he was then given into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—The prisoner had frequently redeemed some of the pledges. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury for the pri soner. He would not deny that the pawnbroker had taken in pledges, supposing them to be silver, when in fact they were not ; but it was his own fault in not exercising a proper caution. It never was the intention of the defend ant to defraud the prosecutor. He would have re deemed the whole of the pledges if this prosecution had not taken place. The unfortunate defendant some years since moved in the most respectable so ciety, but was unfortunate in business; and such was the distress to which he had been reduced, that it was a positive fact himself and family, consisting of a wife and three children, had actually lived for three whole days, on a twopenny loaf! Several witnesses gave the defendant a most ex cellent character.—Verdict, " Guilty." Six weeks' imprisonment. TRIAL OF BYRNE AND ROEBUCK, FOR PERJURY. Jane Byrne, aged 19, and Elizabeth Roebuck, aged 43, were indicted for wilful and corrupt per jury ; there is another indictment against them for a conspiracy. It will be recollected that the prisoner, Byrne, at the last Sessions, prosecuted William Smith, Esq. on a charge of violating her person, and Roebuck was her only witness in support of that charge. The evidence they then gave was so com pletely contradicted by other witnesses, that the Court stopped the case, directed the jury to acquit Mr. Smith, and committed them for wilful and cor rupt perjury._ _ At 11 o'clock the prisoners were placed at the bar, and on the indictment being read, pleaded Not Guilty. The prisoners are charged on separate indict ments; the one first proceeded in was against Elizabeth Roebuck. Mr. ALLEY, with whom was Mr. C. PHILLIPS, stated the case for the prosecution. The Learned Counsel begged the most earnest attention of the Jury ; for the case, perhaps, was one of the most important that could be brought before them. The prisoners were _charged with an offence which, if not punished, the life of every man was in danger. He then minutely stated the facts, as afterwards de tailed by the following witnesses. Mr. ALLEY, in the course of a long address, which occupied nearly an hour, observed on the great benefit the public derived by publishing police reports in the newspapers. If Air. Smith's case had not been reported, in all probability he would have f►llen a vict►m to the false charge made against him by the prisoners. The Clerk of the Arraigns produced the record of the acquittal of William Smith, on a charge of rape, preferred against him by Jane Byrne. Mr. Bnckler, examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—I am short-hand writer to the Court, and took notes of the evidence of Elizabeth Roebuck.—(The witness here read the evidence given by the prisoner, upon which the charge of perjury is assigned.) By Mr. HILL—The prisoner had no attorney or counsel on the trial of Mr. Smith. William Smith, Esq., examined by Mr. PHIL LIPS—I reside at No. ]5, Euston-place, and am a merchant. I know a woman named Jane Byrne; she lived with me as a housemaid ; she entered my service on the 9th of September. I had met her several times previously in the New-road. I have been separated from my wife eight or nine years. Byrne used to sleep in my bed room. We had but one bed. She slept regu larly with me until within the last four nights of being in my service. On the day she left, I went from home about my usual tithe (eleven o'clock), and returned about four o'clock. The prisoner Roe buck was then living with me as cook, and on that day opened the door ; she was perfectly drunk. I did not at that time see Byrne, in consequence of the prisoner being drunk. I went for a gentleman named Thurston, who returned to the house with me and heard what passed. Prisoner was very abusive. I said in the presence of Thurston that I had slept with Byrne every night. RECORDER—Was this before any complaint was made against you Witness—lt4vas. By Mr. PHILLIPS—No complaint was made against me on that day, when I said that I had slept with them, neither Byrne nor the prisoner made any remark, they did not attempt to contradict me when I said so ; I appealed to the prisoner, and said " You know it is true,"Pat ;" she made no reply. I then addressed myself to Byrne, and said " You brute, you know it is true ;" she appeared quite drunk. I never possessed mys'elf of the person of B 3 me against her will. It was four days after this conversation before Byrne made any charge against me. I WaS examined twice at Marlborough-street, and com mitted, but subsequently admitted to bail before Mr. Justice James Parke. By Mr. HILL, Counsel for the prisoners—How many times have you been taken before a Magistrate? Witness—l cannot say; it may be three or four; I have been at 'Worship -street, Hatton-Garden, and Marlborough-street; they were all on charges of common assault. Mr. HlLL—What, every one of them ? Witness —No; I was once at the Thames Police, on a charge of flogging some sailors. Mr. HlLL—What was the nature of the charge at Hatton-Garden ? Witness—Taking some im proper liberties. Mr. HILL—Was it not a charge of rape ? Wit ness---It has been so long since I cannot exactly re collect. Mr. HILL—NOW, pray be careful ; take time to consider; was it not a charge of rape ? Witness— Upon my word I really think it must, but upon my honour I cannot exactly say ; it was my wife's uncle that persuaded the girl to make this charge against me; she had lived with me ever since she was two years old; I brought her to this country, and called her Eliza Smith ; she was about fourteen years old at the time she charged me with taking improper liberties ; I used to say she was my daughter, and I believe she did not for some time know to the contrary. Mr. TALI.Was this the only charge of taking impro- per liberties ? Witness—No ; was charged by a servant at Marlborough-street, hut the Magistrates dismissed it. Mr. HILL—Was this the only one ? Witness—No; I was charged a little more than a year ago by another ser vant at Marylebone ; I cannot tell her name. Mr. HILL—Was you then discharged ? Witness—No, I was tried at the Middlesex Sessions, found guilty, and fined twenty pounds. Mr. llmr.—Do you call this a common assault. Wit ness—Yes. "Mr. HILL—Who prosecuted yon on that occasion. Witness—The parish officers, I believe, it was for an as sault, with intent to commit a rape. By Mr. HlLL—Have you told us all the charges that have ever been made against you? Witness—l believe I have, other women have demanded money of me for im proper liberties, but I do not recollect any other charge. Mr. HILL—I mean i❑ other countries as well as this ? Witness—l never was charged with any assault, in any other country. Mr. HILL—Now Mr. Smith, we have done with the charges made against you for indecent assaults. Have you not had charges of a criminal maitre ? Was you not charged with threatening to hang a woman? Witness— With great warmth,—Never, Sir, never. • • Mr. HILL—Do you know a person named Lyle or Wright; did not they make some such charge ? Witness— No, never ; it is as false as It-11, I turned her out of doors, and she charged use at Marlborough-street with a common assault, when I was fined forty shillings. Cross-examination continued—The prisoner Roebuck had received a month's notice to leave previous to the charge of Byrne being preferred ; it was i❑ consequence of ker being drunk two er three times a week ; she also used very bad language. Ido not recollect whether I ever assigned any other reasons for turning her away. Ido not recollect whether a paper was given me to sign at the Police office. I am not certain, and if I was to swear wrong they would directly indict me. I have never said that I had a connection with Byrne on the day she left. She had not slept with me for four nights previous. I never said that I turned Roebuck away, because she came into toy service with a false character ; she beard cif my situation through an ad vertisement in the papers. I applied, since my trial last sessions, to Mr. Wontner. the Governor of Newgate, for leave to have a private conversation with Byrne, but not with Roebuck. To a question by Mr. ALLEY, the witness said (smil ingly) that he really thought that he had not been charged quite so many as four times with indecent assaults. RECORDER--.Will you swear, Sir, that you have not ? Witness—My dear Sir, I am not quite positive. RECORDER-Don ' t call me "dear Sir." Will you Weal positively that you have or have not? Witness-1 will say, then, three times, Sir. RECORDER—You have before sworn to four charges; do you now mean to say' that was not correct ? Witness-1 cannot say. After a few more questions of a similar nature, Mr. Thurston was called, and Examined by Mr. Au.tv.—l am a horse-dealer living in Southampton-mews; Mr. Smith came to me on the 29th Nov. ; I heard him say to Roebuck that he had re peatedly slept with Byrne, which neither of them contra dicted. RECORDER-Are you a married man ? Witness—Yes. RECORDER-Did you not say any thing to Mr. Smith on the impropriety of his conduct? Witness—l do not recollect. IlEcoanFx—Stand down, Sir. James Abrahams, a young lad, examined by Mr. Phillips, I used to live with Mr. Smith as a groom ; on the 29th of November both Roebuck and Byrne were tipsey ; heard my master say that he slept with Byrne up to the last four nights, which neither of them contradicted. REconnEn—How old are you? Witness—About 15 years, I know the obligation of an oath. Henry Little examined—l am a hackney coachman, on the 29th November, I took the prisoner arid another female from Mr. Smith's house, they were quite tipsy, when I opened the door to let them out, they were asleep and " lolling" one against the other. By the RECORDER-The prisoner at the bar came for the coach and ordered me to drive to Devonshire Mews. Miss Baxter was then called and examined by Mr. ALLEY-Her testimony was to the same effect as on the trial of Mr. Smith. This witness was under examination when our paper went to press. The triul is not expected to conclude be fore a late hour. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) FISH-MARKET, BILLINGSGATE.

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S SILK SALE.-In con sequencs of the extreme depression which has occurred in the prices of Silks at the East India Company's sale, the merchants and manufacturers suddenly closed the Com pany's sale . this morning, and adjourned to hold a public meeting, in order to go up in a body to the Board of Trade, in order to represent the state of the trade to Mini sters. Various merchants, &c. addressed the meeting on the deplorable state of the trade, and a deputation was ap pointed to visit the Treasury. SUGAR.-The delivery of Sugar from the West India Docks last week only amounted to 2,200 hhds., and the stock is now reduced to 21,175 hhds. and 1,577 tees. The stock of Mauritius Sugars is on the increase, but at present there is not more than three months' consumption in the warehouses, the stock being 25,100 bags. Owing to some very large sales this week, principally ofMauritius, in all exceeding 10,000 bags, there is not much doing in Sugars this morning, nor will there he very considerable purchases until the result of these sales is known. Refined Goods are steady. There is little doing in Foreign Sugars. The landing at the West India Docks, last week, of Plan tation Sugars, was nearly 700 hhds. COFFEE.-The transactions in Coffee possess no interest, and arc limited ; prices nominally the same. In SEEDS there has been a great deal of business done within the last three or four days. Clover and Rye may be quoted a shade higher. Hors are not quite so brisk, and inferior sorts are lower. RUM.—The delivery last week of Rum was consider able, 419 puncheons fur home consumption ) and 262 fur exportation. The stock yesterday xv,,s 17,335 ptmehcong, and 1245 hhds. The demand remains flat. The INDIGO and COTTON Mai kets remain heavy. In SPICES some business has been done; in Pepper at improved prices. Cloves and Cinnamon remain steady. BALTIC PRODUCE.—TaIIow remains very flat, and speculation seems at an end, at least for the present. 'I he price is not higher than 395. 6d. The delivery last week was about 1,406 casks, and the stock is now 21,200 casks. A new duty on Russian Tallow is still talked of among a certain class of the dealers, hut not generally be lieved. Hemp and Flax remain much the same. Bristles arc very heavy. DEAN OF CHESIER. 46 DEANERY, rsTER, FELL " DEAR n,—l have received the favour of your letter, containing the recorded judgment of many most respectable members of the University of Oxford, ' that Mr. Peel is unfit to be re-elected at the present crisis,' and inviting me to ♦ote for Sir Robert Inglis. " On every personal and public ground, I rejoice at the selection of such a candidate by the opponents of Arr. Per:. Sir Robert Inglis is one of my best and most valued friends ; a man of the highest character, and honourably distinguished by his zeal and ability in defence of our Protestant con stitution. " But I am sure you will perceive that my vote on this occasion must be decided by one special consideration. Those with whom you act have, in a direct and manly manner, brought the matter to this issue :—' Is Mr. Peel unfit to be re-elected at the present crisis ?' I do not think that he is. I will not, therefore, assist in cashiering him. " And now let me trouble you with a few words re specting myself. " You Reports are circulated here (Oxford) in respect to a change of your opinions on a subject on which you have written so ably and so much. We are unwilling to give credit to such rumours.' " I thank you, and whoever else joins you in this senti ment, for your unwillingness to give credit to any thin which you may think discreditable to me. In the present instance, the rumours you refer to, as far as they have reached me, arc either so vague as to be unintelligible to me, or, if they assume the shape of an allegation of facts, are absolutely false. " As to my opinions, they remain unchanged : they ac cord with the spirit of my letter to Mr. Canning, p. ISE: —164, and more especially with the Application of the Argument,' in my letter• on the Coronation Oath, p. —lBO. If any of those who have done me the honour cf reading these works, have happened to attend to such parts only of them as fell in with their own preconceived opi nions, it is rather bard that I should he made answerable for their inadvertence. Be this as it may. I have the gra tification of knowing, that the most distinguished of the names in the printed paper you have sent to me are not in this etror. They have stated (as I doubt not you have heard), in voluntary vindication of an absent and slan dered friend, that my writings had prepared them to ex pect that I should be favourable to an adjustment of the Roman Catholic question, on terms compatible with the security of the Protestant constitution. " Whether the Bill about to be brought into Parliament be of this character, I do not know. I shall deem. it such (and I heartily I may see reason to do so), I shall not be deterred by clamour, in any quarter, from avowing my opinion : if otherwise, I shall not be back ward in joining in any fit mode of expressing dissati6- faction, " For the present, I content myself with citing to you, and to every one who may feel an interest in what con cerns me, a single sentence (p. 179, 180) in my letter. published last year, on the coronation oatli,—a sentence which Mr. Wilmot Horton has, with very good reason, publicly treated as an invitation (he himself calls it a challenge) to consider the matter of securities on both shks.-- " In one word, then, see whether you' (the Houma Catholics) can offer us any real and adequate security for our church, if the boon you ask be granted ; or try to find the securities which we, on our port, may devise, such as you can conscientiously accede to.' " Whether the writer of ibis sentence can be justly charged with inconsistency for now testifying, or acting upon, a wish that adequate securities may be proposed, is a question which I will not insult your understanding by asking you. " You are at perfect liberty to consider this a public letter. " I am, dear Sir, your faithful servant, "HENRY' PHILLPOTTS. " The Rev. Dr. Ellei ton, " Tutor of Magdalen College, Oxford." COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. A new historical melo-drama, translated like tie one at Drury-lane from the French, was produced last night at this theatre, and received throughout with great and deserved applause. The plot resembles the one at the other house of which we gave yesterday a detailed acomnt, we have no occasion therefore to revert to it further than to observe that it is of a light, simple, and diverting cha racter, full of incident and variety. Mr. C. Kemble's act ing as Charles the Twelfth was admirable, though it must certainly be pronounced inferior as a characteristic performance to Mr. W. Farren's, whose quiet stern but easy dignity was matchless of its kind. Mr. Warde made a respectable Czar, and Miss Coward's Pauliska was a pleasing rustic sketch. The house was well attended. READING Co A CHES.—Mr. HOIIC'S Read ing coach is engaged from London, through Reading, to Oxford. Gentlemen intending to support Mr. Peel, and wishing a conveyance by that line of road, are requested to apply at the Committee Room. Air. Lawless arrived last night from Ireland, at the Bedford Hotel, Covent-garden. Mr. Granby Calcraft -arrived yesterday at Limmer's Hotel, from Leamington. The requisition to the Lord Mayor, for a Common Council, to present Mr. Peel with the freedom of the Corporation of London, is signed by a very con siderable number of the Court, and no doubt but it will be carried by a very large majority. The day fixed is Thurs day next. On Sunday morning the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs attended divine service at the Asylum for Female Orphans : the sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Dillon, (the celebrated author of " The Lord Ma)or's Voyage of Discovery to Oxford,") and the collection amounted to 1251. EXTRAORDINARY INFLUX OF PRISONERS. —Since the 12th instant no less than thirty-one prisoners have been committed to gaol; among whom arc five charged with housebreaking, five for stealing poultry, three for'pig stealing, three for stealing coals, &c. There are now confined and out on bail no less than 104 prisoners for trial at our ensuing Assizes. There have also been nineteen summary convictions to the New Gaol since the 14th. The particulars are unavoidably postponed until Friday.—Essex Herald of this day. Last week, a dolphin was caught here, which was instantly purchased by Dr. Guthrie, and sent off to Mr. Duff of Fetteresso ; the fish was 2i feet long, and very thick.—Aberdeen Chronicle. On man, named coachman oat Marlborough the Earl of applied to Sir George Farrant, street, for parochial relief. The poor fellow, w h o sa id h e resided at 33, Queen-street, Edgeware-r oa d, an d h a d a wife and five small children, who f o ll owe d hi m to the Jon o, office, had lived with the above Noble and Learned Lord far eleven years, and his Lordship discharged him some time ago, on the complaint of his son, the Hon. H. J. Scott, M.P. He subsequently, on being unable to obtain employment, applied personally and by letter to the Earl, fur some trifling pecuniary assistance, but he never re ceived a farthing from his Lordship. Mrs. Jones, indeed, saw the Countess, who gave her a sovereign, at the same time remarking, that although she (the Countess) could dine off half a mutton chop, yet the expences incurred by her son, Lord Encombe, at the University, and the cost of their establishment in town, rendered it quite impos sible that she could afford them any further assistance. Mrs. Jones had been employed by Lady Frances Bankes, one of Lord Eldon's married daughters, and while she was in her Ladyship's service she unfortunately lost the use of •r right hand, in consequence of having been pricked by rusty pin in one of Lady Frances's dresses. Lady Frances I,,Avever refused to assist bee, alleging that she had under stood Mrs. Jones was then living under the protection of a dissipated Nobleman. She, poor woman, protested that she was not the mistress of any man, and Lady Frances promised to inquire into the authenticity of the unfounded accusation, but she had never since been able to learn any thing further on the subj ec t f rom h er L a d ys hi p. The i r goods were now under .a distress for rent, or they would not have applied for parochial relief. Mr..Nangle, the overseer of St. Giles's, said that Jones belonged to that parish, and he would therefore advance him 31. 10s., which would enable him to pay up his arrears of rent. The poor fellow thanked the Overseer for his humane pro position, and retired with his family.

r 4 PIRIT OP THE LONDON JOURNALS. The louse of Lords was more than usually .'rowded last night, in the understanding that the Duke of Clarence vas to deliver his sentiments en the subject which now engrosses the P.tttntion of the country. A report had been for some days in circulation that his Royal Highness Wit I; adverse to concession; and this report caused as much regret to the well disposrd as the report that the Duke of nberland had thrown the weight of his reputation int- the scale of liberality. The puke of Clarence put Pn end last night to alt uncertainty with respect to his Sentiments respecting concession, and also respecting the conduct of the Opposition. " I rise, my Lords," said his Royal Highness, " Ir?ratsr it has beets remarked there is among his Majesty's Minis ters now ilk union of sentiment on this subject. I wish, vny torrils, that the Ministers had been so united in 1826 ; but the persons who were then his Majesty's Atititotrs were not unite!i, and we have gone on to the t' went time. It they bad Jaen united in 1804, it would have been a great advantage to both Englatri. and Ireland. From that pecied, my Lords, my opinion has been invariably favour able to what is falsely called Catholic concession , —llear, hear)—which is not concession to the Catholics, but rather an Act for altering their prr.sttlt state of degrada tivn—and nothing else. When the great measure shall came before your Lordships, I pledge myself to prove that it is net concession to the Catholics, but a removal of de- gradation. nnti the.. surest means of cordially uniting toge ther vignt millions of people.—(Cheers.)—Nory that I am on my less I shall say, that in reserving for myself to state any opinions more tit length hereafter on this question, I shall give that support to his Majesty's Ministers which they deserve from every man against so unjustifiable, if I m f r not say so infamous an attack." The Duke of Cumberland seems to have consi dered himself more particularly bound to notice the word infamous, for he deviated that " he felt it to he his imperious duty to express his opinion de cidedly upon this subject, and he hoped, therefore, that his Noble - Relation (the Duke of Clarence) would not take it unkind in him, when he endea voured to give utterance to the 4*tonishment he tell when he heard foetidly! motives imputed by 'hat Noble Person to those who were hostile to the Catholics, and his still greater astonishment at the =fair attack raade upon him pers4enally, and upon others, by the applicaiekn tit the term infamous to their opposition." 'roe Duke of Sussex very justly observed in . answer, that " if his Noble Re lative applied these words of cond - 2mnation to his own conduct, that was his own taste; all he (the Duke 01 Sussex) could say, in justice to his Noble Brother, was, that he did not mean any personal offence to his Noble Relative. When, however, a Message came from the Crown, recommending to Parliament the consideration of the question of Catholic Disabilities, in a constitutional way, and in such a manner as may be found consonant with the safety and security of the Protestant Chureh, and the rights and liberties of the people, it certainly was not at all extraordi nary his Noble Brother should express his sur prise at the course pursued by many Noble Lords, in their opposition to his Majesty's declared wishes and intentions, and that he should characterise that conduct as base and infamous," The Duke of Cla rence observed, in explanation, that his " Illustrious Relative had spent so touch of his life abroad, that he had quite forgotten what was due to the free dom of debate in this country —(Hear, hear, hear.)" When strong language is employed to characterize ordinary matters, the impression is the very opposite to that sought to be produced. But there are oc casions when the language employed cannot be too strong. To endeavour to prevent the tranquilliza tionof a l!terr,e portion of the Empire, by the perpe tuation If disabilities, painful], because degrading, to one-third of the inhabitants of the United King dom, for which no intelligible ground can be urged, tonnected with the security of the remainder, and to appeal for the furtherance of that object to the ignorance and prejudices of the lowest rabble, is a course of conduct of which no good men can ap prove. The Government, in not bringing forward this question before, and those who oppose the Government, now that the question is brought forward, are by no means in the same predica meet. A Government may, even when convinced that a course is advisable, pause before entering on it, from the dread of the power of faction, arming itself with the ignorance and prejudices of the mul titude; but the faction is not in itself justifiable, because its anticipated efforts might serve in some sort to justify a Government. A Legislator will always count on crime ; an Administration in criti cal conjunctures on faction ; but crime and faction, though always to be counted on, are always to be condemned. However, the Administration having determined at length to attempt the pacification of the empire, what can we say of the opposition which has been so prematurely and so violently dis played, but that it is factious ? What can it be called but infamous—if the object be bad, and sought after by bad means ? If we can suppose that the opponents of Government are not them selves aware of the consequences of their conduct, then we might find in their want of understanding the only justification which can be offered for them; but this defence they will not thank us for.— Morning Chronicle. The sooner that the great measure shall be for mally introduced into Parliament the better, were it only to give the other, though inferior, interests of the nation a decent chance of receiving some at tention from the Legislature ; and to save the lives of a few dozens of unhappy Brunswickers, whose fever, if left much longer to prey upun them, will infallibly he their death. That the question, though not formally, is in substance carried, all the rational part of society has long been convinced. On this point the most ardent Catholics, and the most sober minded Protestants, are of the same opinion. So far, therefore, as the " Titus Oates" gentry are con cerned, it is pure humanity which leads us to wish that the question may settle down from one of eager discussion into a subject of historical recollection, and that the poor creatures who run about in quest or " No Popery" meetings, may also " settle . down" from raging maniacs into common-place and insigni ficant fools. Why is it that, notwithstanding all the brag and sputter of " No Popery," the convic tion has within these fourteen days changed into an intuitive and deep-rooted consciousness, that the ful ness of times has come—that the event is ac- complished and irrevocable ? Simply because things are what they now appear—because the strength of the King's Government, and the real disposition of those classes in which resides all real power, are de veloped and are not to be resisted—because the late arrogance, the threats and outrageous fury of the Orangemen, were supported by no real strength or principle of animation,—because the bones of the faction are marrowless, and the sounds now heard are but feeble echoes departing through its roofless and hollow tomb. It is grateful to the enlightened portion of society, and must be a source of inexpressible satisfaction to his Majesty and his faithful advisers, that while the opulent, populous, industrious, improved, and mighty towns of the north of England have declared themselves, when ever the occasion offered, in terms of strong encou ragement to the policy adopted by the Crown, it proves almost impossible to get up in any quarter, and by fair means, even the semblance of an anti- Catholic meeting. A laughable instance occurred yesterday in a metropolitan parish,—that of St. Stephen, Coleman-street,—where the notable expe dient had been tried of summoning a certain quota of parishioners, to be determined, not by the situa tion of their dwellings, or their amount of property, or contributions to the parish rates, or other tan gible description as inhabitants, but by that very clear, customary, and legitimate criterion, their sen timents on one political subject ! Yes, the pa rishioners of St. Stephen were called together by public summons, to assemble in the vestry-room of the parish, and from that common seat of public business were to be excluded all such of the pa rishioners, should they amount to nineteen-twen tieths of the whole parish, who had not graduated in the school of Titus Oates, and been admit ted Bachelors of No-Popery•. This, however, would not (16. I'tr.

We now turn to scenes more distant, and to equally edifying results. Lord Chandos— who aims, we suppose, at establishing for himself a sort of fame rather different from that long enjoyed by the living patriarch of his family the enlightened Lord Grenville- , --has Made two attempts in Bucking hamshire to etasperate that class of minds which he was more competent to inflame than to instruct, and to bring their satellite fury as evidence of the state of public " .Ipiiiion" (opinion !) against the Ca thoncs. En one of these instances, the Noble Lord having given a public no-Popery breakfast, rode into the town of Buckinghatcorted by hundreds of his ovvutenartr:, , , and occupied the Town-hall in such fern als bade defiance to all attack by mere numbers. After some twaddle fi om three or four intermediate speakers, Lord Nugent rose, and delivered a manly and admirable speech in reprobation cf the means by which these meetings had betagOt up, and of the evils of which they it'ere calculated to be pro ductive. H Lordship, in reply to one assertion of Lord Chandos, imputing certain expressions to his late Majesty, descriptive of his extreme repugnance to a law for relieving the Catholics, dedared on his honour that those seoids had never been voken! The repot has always been, that George 111. had tota Lord Grenville that he could " lay his head on the block, but had not courage to break his oath," and this in reference to emancipation. To this tale, and evidently on the authority of Lord Grenville himself, Lord Nugent has now given a flat cnntradletion, verified by his word of honour. The public may form some idea of the dexterity and diligence with which the Buckingham meeting was packed, and of the sort of intelligence which prevailed there, when we state that Lord Nugent was the single individual sufficiently independent of Lord Chandos to hold a hand up against the resc•lu tions. The second exploit of the r oble Marquis was at Aylesbury, where, with views no doubt most kind _and amicable towards his uncle, he worked hard for a public dinner, which was ordered for 100 persons : just 35 attended Is this enough of Lord Chandos and his doings?—Tinies. The plan said to be in contemplation, of pur- chasing an estate for Mr. O'Connell, is an admirable contrivance for disposing of the balance of the Ca. tholic Relit; while it holds out a tempting boon to future 'Agitators not to despair of a reward, providing they take care to sail star enough the wind, not to be cut off in their voyage. This termination, too, of this " unlawful impost," as the Duke of Wel lington has called it, will not, we should think, he lost upon posterity, or even upon the Irish people of the present day, when the subsiding of the present excitement leaves them time for reflection. Here has ber•n a taxation raised upon the whole Catholic community, under the shallow prete,lee of its being for the benefit of that community, to protect them from oppression, and such like ; nearly every farthing of which will have found its way into the pockets of those who suggested it. The silly sheep will find that they have been shorn indeed, and that the lawyers have taken the oyster, shell and all. If this be not so, let those who have held the purse-strings publish their accounts. If we are wrong, let us have the figures to refute us. Till that is done we shall continue to believe that the Rent has been, front the first—as it is now avowed to be at the last— an estate in fee. —Morning Herald. We hope that, in the din of political contention in both Houses of Parliament, the consideration of the domestic interests of the country will not be lost sight of, or postponed to so late a period in the Session as to make it impracticable to effect any good. Among other things the stale of the law requires the most earnest attention of the Legisla ture. That subject has been of late years pressed upon Parliament in a way that shows the absolute necessity of some practical reform. Last Session two commissions were appointed to inquire into the state of the law, and report thereon to the House of Commons, with a view to some measure for its improvement. To one of those commissions was intrusted the task of reviewing the laws relative to real property. The other was to inquire into the practice of the Courts, mid devise some method for the correction of the abuses of the present system of special pleading. It was stated, not long ago, that one or both of them would report early in the present Session. The earlier the better—some com mencement cannot be too soon made in so neces sary and beneficial a work as that of the reform of our legal system. The question of the laws of real property is, indeed, a difficult and complicated subject, and it will require sound judgment, as well as bold capacity, to reduce the chaos of prin ciples affecting the tenures and interests in land ed estates to .order and simplicity. But the subject of special pleading is one of more obvious inconvenience and of easier reformation. The ab surdities of this part of the administration of the law are so glaring, its repugnance to justice and common sense so plain to the most ordinary under standing, that it would be only wonderful how it could have maintained its ground so long, if we did not know that it is the interest of a larger class of persons to perpetuate this great reproach to our judi cial system, on account of the profits that are de rived from it. If the most subtle and crafty lawyers had conspired together to invent a jargon, which should be better calculated than any other, since the wra of the " confusion of tongues," to mystify the proceedings of Courts of Law, and render justice perplexed and uncertain, they could not have devised a more effectual one than that of special pleading. Its general tendency is to overload with the most profuse and cumbrous verbiage the plainest cases, and so to entangle every judicial proceeding in a web of forms, that it is impossible to infer from the merits of a case what the result will be, and thus the ends of justice are defeated, to support the "glorious certainty of the law."—lbid. It is stated in an Evening Paper, which has oc casionally displayed some knowledge of passing events, and sometimes perhaps pretended to more than it had any good ground for entertaining, that " the King, our true Protestant King, has declared within forty-eight hours, that he still entertains the sentiments which he avowed to Mr. Canning in the month of June, 1827, and that if his faithful people will rally round his throne, the slightest inroad shall not be permitted upon the Protestant Constitution of 1688." Now, we have no means of knowing whether his Majesty has or has not given utterance to such sentiments " within the last forty-eight hours ;" but we do know, what evfiy one must feel in perusing the paragraph in question, that if his Maje2ty did give utterance to such sentiments, they were uttered in the ear of pri vate confidence, and not intended for that of the public, and that he who communicated such in formation to the Paper in question has proved himself a greater traitor to his Majesty than if he had openly conspired against his crowu or life. But, to be brief on the subject, we do not believe that his Majesty ever gave utterance to such senti ments ; for, in the first place, our gracious Sovereign is not yet so woe-be-gone with years as to entrust such a declaration as that which we have reported, to those who would have made it known contrary to his will—in the second, he deliberately, and after much reflection, affixed his seal to the solemn recommendation to the Legislature to Emancipate his Roman Catholic subjects ; and in the third and last, it is not characteristic of the illustrious line of ancestors from whom he is descended, to give utterance to any sentiments but those which they actually entertain. These are our reasons for disbelieving entirely the exclusive information of our Evening contemporary; and were more . required, some of a still graver nature might readily be ad duced. I n what relation to his subjects, in fact, would such a declaration in private, with a counter declaration staring it in the face in public, - place the first Magistrate of the kingdom ? Would the pic ture of such inconsistency gratify those who would still have it that his Majesty is adverse to the Catholic claims; or would it at all exalt his Majesty, either in the estimation of his subjects, or of foreign powers. And what also, let us ask, would be the situation of the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Peel, and the rest of the Cabinet, were it to be proved that they had either extorted, by force or intrigue, a declara tion from his Majesty to which he was repugnant, or imposed on the Legislature a, the sentiments of the King, opinions which lie did not entertain. — We leave our readers to judge both of the mea sure of perfidy of which the latter must have been guilty in such a case, and of its consequences to them both severally and individually. For our own - part, though we have deemed it necessary to say thin mita, perhaps unnecessarily, in defence of his Majesty, arid his Majesty's Ministers, we consider the assertion as a pure day-dream of some hot ' headed Anti-Catholic, who, like a drowning man, would catch at a straw, to support himself in his last extremity. His Majesty is still in possession of sufficient vigour of mind to give the lie to any such imputation on the exercise of his undoubted prero gative ; and we have too much faith in his Majesty's Ministers to suppose for a moment that they would have taken such a decisive step as the proposal to admit our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, to a par ticipation in the rights and privileges of British sub jects, without not only maturely weighing the con sequences of the measure, but obtaining the full and deli!ierate approbation of his Majesty.—Morning Advertiser. THE LATE EARL OF BRIDGEWATER. The two most remarkable events of the last few days here have been the death of the Hon. and Rev. Francis Egerton, Earl of Bridgewater, and the re presentation for the benefit of M. Laurent, director of the Italian Opera. His Lordship's demise, with out inspiring much regret, has caused considerable disappointment to a number of persons, who, from their long and assiduous services, (and, from his Lordship's bodily infirmities, caprices, and over weening vanity and pride, these must have been hard services indeed), expected a substantial and generous mention in his will. Such, however, has not been the case. Of many of these persons he has made no mention at all; and even those who have been remembered have but small cause to bless kis Lordship's memory. One instance will suffice as a measure for the rest. A faithful servant, who had been attached to him for four-and-twenty or thirty years, has been left the magnificent bequest of 1,000 francs (401.), not a year, but, as the French say, une fois pa c. Even his Lordship's favourite dogs, of which there were a great number, and which were, during his lifetime, cherished like lordlings, being fed with the most delicate morsels from their master's table, and often from his own hand, were allowed to dream away their luxurious existence upon velvet carpets and tapestried sofas and chairs, and went out to take the air in his Lordship's coach, with a plumed, belted, and gold-embroidered chas seur behind, have not been left even the fee simple of a franc to keep them in bread and water. A very large portion (it is said 150,0001.) of his Lordship's disposable property has been left to the British Mu seum, for a comparatively futile and useless purpose, viz. the formation and conservation of a collection of autographs, amongst which his own signs-manual and manuscripts would, of course, occupy the first and foremost rank—for the deceased seemed to have formed a most exaggerated idea of his own im portance, either as a benefactor or ornament to so ciety, or was actuated by a most inordinate passion for posthumous fame, to attempt to secure which he has been at no little pains and expense. In order that some remotely future age should at least have a chance of knowing that a man called Francis Earl of Egerton existed in the nineteenth century, he caused an immense number of medals, with his bust on one side, and his name, title, &c. on the other, to be en closed in thick glass or cbrystal, and hermetically scaled. Numbers of these were sent to England, America, various parts of the Continent, &e., to be deposited in foundations of public buildings, under the piers of bridges, and thrown into fountains, lakes, and rivers. One of the last drives he took in and about Paris was for the purpose of flinging, or rather of having flung, in his presence, a number of_ these enshrined medals into various parts of the Seine Alas 1 poor human nature !—Morning Paper.

BUONAPARTE.—The Emperor, in conversa tion at St. Helena, said, " When I landed at Cannes all the Parisian Journals announced the event in an article commencing with ' Rebellion of Buonaparte;' five days after they began with General Buonaparte is at Gre noble ;' eleven days later, ' Napoleon has made his entry into Lyons ;' and, in twenty days more, ' The Emperor is arrived at the Tuileries,'"—After his return to Paris in 1813, Napoleon reviewea his troops two days following in the Place de Carousal. He recognised amongst the spec tators Mademoiselle Mars, who had pressed forward nearly to the ranks in order to be able better to observe the scene before her. Napoleon, coming up to her, said " What brings you here, Mademoiselle Mars ; this is not a place suitable for you." " Sire," answered the witty actress, " I am tired of seeing the mock heroes of the stage ; I am here to contemplate a real one."—Furet de Londres. AGGRAVATED RAPE.-On Sunday evening last, a most brutal attack was made upon the servant girl of Mr. Atkinson, of Hay Close, in Hutton. She had been on a visit to Kendal, and was returning home, when she was accosted on the road by a wretch, saying, be wished to see her home. She said she declined his company, and quickened her steps ; when he immediately threw her down, and holding a knife to her bosom, threatened her life if she resisted his hellish purpose. She called out for assistance, and made all the possible - resistance she was able, when other two of the villain's companions came up, and held her down by turns till the brutal deed was accom plished by the whole three. The names of the villains are Fisher, Jennings, and Shepherd, three well-known despe rate characters, the two former of whom were apprehend ed, and underwent an examination on Tuesday ; Shepherd has made his escape, but the hands of justice will soon overtake him.— Westmoreland Advertiser. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Prom the Gazette de France, dated Feb. 22.) PARIS, FEB. 2l.—The Ministerial Journal con- I tains the following article :-- " A Journal has stated that Count Pozzo di Borgo had notified to the French Cabinet the intention of his Government to continue the war against the Porte ; that this was the object of the audience which his Excellency had obtained of his Majesty; lastly, that Count Portalis had made communica tions to the Russian Ambassador, after which naval preparations had been ordered at Toulon. " We are authorised formally to contradict all these assertions, there is not a shadow of truth in any one of them." FRONTIERS OP SERVIA, FEB. I.—lt is asserted at Belgrade, that the Divan has formally accepted the Declaration of the Three Powers, and delivered to M. Jaubert an official document relative to this re ' solution.* On the other hand, it is said that the proposals of Russia for an e xchange of prisoners, which at first appeared to have been favourably lis tened to by the Porte, have been since rejected for reasons which are not known. if the first of these reports should be confirmed, the pacific relations between France and England on the one hand, and the Porte on the other, may be considered as restored. Letters from Constantinople say, that Husseim Pacha has received orders to repair to the camp of the Sultan, to take part in the deliberations respect ing the operations of the approaching campaign : at all events, it seems that thei Turks will persist in the system of defence which they have adopted, and without otherwise concerning themselves about the occupation of the Principalities by the Russians, confine themselves to the defensive, and to the sup port of the fortresses, when the Russians should re-- cross the Danube ; that they will afterwards pro claim a general arming of the people, in its fullest extent, as soon as the enemy's columns advance across the Balkan ; and, lastly, in a general battle in the plains of Adrianople, decide the fate of the Empire. The enthusiasm of the Mussulinen is still the same ; they are impatient for the return of fine wea ther to recommence the campaign. It appears that notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather for this last fortnight, skirmishes take place every day with alternate success, on the bank of the Danube, between the Turkish garrison and the Russians.— We know hardly any thing of Bosnia; tranquillity appears to be completely restored there. The same tranquillity prevails in Servia ; and the most oppo site sentiments seem to be kept in check by fear. (From the Journal des Debats of Saturday.) PARIS, FEB. 21.—Let us hope that this state of tranquillity and happiness will not be lost, either on the temporal heirs of Leo XII. or his successor, and that the influences which have survived the vene rable Pontiff, will continue his reign, during the short vacancy of the Holy See (the last conclave only lasted twenty-five days) ► then it will be defi nitively filed. This, then, is the danger ; and it is the greater, as it threatens the tranquillity of Europe and the independence of Italy, that intrigue should taise to the Papal Throne, a man exclusively devoted to the House of Austria. What an increase would that give to the deplorable influence of M. Metternich, in a country the finest provinces of which are already delivered to the Austrian domination--a Pope who would be one instrument more of the meditated en ' slaving of Italy ! At the voice from the Cabinet of Vienna we should again see those disturbing doc trines and those turbulent men, whom the wisdom of Leo XII. and the rare skill of his Minister had at least restrained within certain bounds. It would be a strange misunderstanding to suppose that Aus- • tria, in wishing to have a Pope of its own, de sires to have a moderate Pope, best suited to the interests of all Powers. On this point, the interest of Austria is separated from that of all other Catholic States. It has so prepared its measures as to pro tect itself from the usurpations of the Court of Rome, but at the same time direct the threatening action of the service of the Church' against other Governments. The Court of Vienna has the wise policy of appointing no Bishop, without requiring from the newly-elected person that he will not eom municate with the Court of Rome, and thus it protects itself from the power of the Church. It would be rash to hazard any conjectures as to the event of the conclave. 'Who will he Pope ? We know not ; but of all those who aspire to the Papacy, it would be difficult to say who will be Pope ; but of this we are quite sure, that one is re quired who still continue the system of peace, jus tice, and charity, so happily pursued during the short period of his pontificate.

SARS APA RILL A has of late years been KY much used as an alterative in Scrofulous Affections, Scurvy, and other cutaneous Diseases, and is considered by the most eminent Surgeons of the present day as the very best Medicine for re-establishing the constitution after it has undergone the effects of Mercury, or has been injured by what is denominated Secondary Symptoms. This Fluid Extract contains all the properties of the Root, in a concentrated state, will keep for any length of time, and the Patient, in one minute, may make a Decoction of any strength, by the addition of water. Sold in Bottles at 4s. 6d., Bs. 6d., and 20s. by Messrs. Butler, Chemists, Cheapside, corner of St. Paul's London ; Sackville-street, Dublin ; and Prince's-street, Edinburgh ; and the principal Medicine Venders ; of whom may be had BUTLER's COMPOUND ESSENCE OF CUBERS. This preparation is a strong Essence of the Cubebs, in combination with other ingredients, which, whilst equally mild and innoxious to the constitution, having been found by experience materially to increase the known efficacy of the Cubebs, it is therefore confidently recommended for those affections arising from diseases of the Kidneys, Blad der, &c. and that class of Diseases generally in which the use of the Cubebs has been found so serviceable.

RETURN OF AVORKS NOW Is PROGRESS; ALSO ' WORKS PREPARING FOR PR E SS. TO THE HONOURABLE THE HOUSE OF CCIMIONS IN PARLIAMENT. ASSEMBLED. In ob?dience to the order of your honourable House, dated 6th May, 1829, directing that there be laid before the House " A Return of all the Works now in progress under the direction of the record commission ; also of works preparing for the press, but of which the printing isnot yet commenced, together with an account of the extent and magni tude of such intended publications, .the time within which each of them may be completed, and the pi o bable expence of each ;"-- I humbly beg leave to state as follows: ENGLAND.-WORKS NOW IN PROGRESS. I. Inquisitions Post 111orte74. The records thus entitled commence at the Tower, with the reign of Henry 111., and are preserved there, until the reign of Richard 111., inclusive ; from this time to the twentieth year of Charles 1., they are extant in the Chapel of the Rolls. The calendars to the Inquisitions at 4he Towe? have been made complete in four volumes, the firs of which was published in 1806, the last in 1828. On completion of the Tower series, it became necessary to commence that at the Rolls Chapel, which has accordingly been done ; and it may be confidently expected that these calendars may be comprised in volumes, and that for various rea sons, especially from the records themselves having been for some years past in the course of reparation and arrangement, they may be made complete in print in less than half the time that the Tower series occupied, and probably at an expence not exceeding 2,4001. per volume, printing and editorship inclusive. This statement has been drawn up with the assist ance of Mr. Palmer, who is to furnish copy for the press, and who is chief clerk to John Kipling, Esq., Keeper of the Records in the Rolls Chapel. 11.—Valor Feclesiasticus.-26 lien. VIII. Of this record, remaining in the Ofw•ice of First Fruits, the first volume was printed in 1810, and the whole work finished in 1825, in five volumes, in- eluding indexes to each volume of places and per sons; in addition to which, it having been deethed essential that a general index to the entire work should be subjoined in a sixth (andlast) volume, this compilation has been proceeded upon, and has re cently been finished in manuscript ; meanwhile there have fortunately been discovered in the Augmenta tion-office and Chapter-house, Westminster, certain supplementary articles connected with this Ecclesi astical Valor, and.of the same date; these are now in the press, by way of appendix, and as soon as they are finished, the general index will be put to press, and proceeded upon with all despatch consis tent with accuracy. The expence, it is thought, will be undev2,ooo/., printing and editorship inclu sive; and Mr. Lemon, the compiler of the gener►l index above-mentioned, is of opinion that it will probably he finished in less than two years. Fwdera.—New edition enlarged. The new edition of this work was ordered by the Commissioners to be prepared for the press in 1813, and the first part or volume was published in 1816, commencing with the reign of William the Conqueror; since then it has been carried on to the sixth part or volume, the - last bringing -down the work to the end of the Reign of Edward the Third; the last part, however, though very nearly complete as to text, cannot be published for a few months on that account, and because the index is of cou►se not quite ready. Calculations have been formed within what com- ' pass of volumes this work can be contained, for the period to which the Tower records extend, mmely, the reign of Richard the Third: and it appears there is reason to believe it may be comprehended within the quantity of nine volumes or parts, in ad dition to those already printed; the probable time of executing it will be but little more than 12 years, as apparently the most difficult periods of the work have already passed. With regard to the expence likely to be incurred, it will be, perhaps, including printing and editorship, about 2,900/. per volume. In the above calculation, the editors, viz, the secre tary, Mr. Holbroke, and Mr. Bayley, of the Tower, which last-mentioned person furnishes the most con. siderable portion of copy for the press, are agreed in opinion as to the above estimate of time and ex pence. In respect to the continuation of the work to the time when Sanderson's edition, in 20 volumes, ceased, it seems quite impossible at present to cal culate how many years, or at what expence, the work could be made complete. IV.—Records of Me Duchy of Lancaster. Two volumes of Calendars to these Records have already been published, the first in 1823, the second in 1527. A third volume is in the press, but not in great forwardness. The Calendars now in progress have extended to the 27th year of Queen Elizabeth, and it may be ex pedient to continue them to the reign of Charles 1., inclusive. The present volume, and two more, it is thought, will be sufficient to comprehend the whole probable time, eight years; expense about 1,7001. per volume, which will include editorship as Well as printing.— The secretary and Mr. Minchin, who are the editors, are agreed that this time and expellee will be suf ficient. V.—Calendar of the proceedings in Chancery. Tower. These calendars or indexes extend through the reigns of Elizabeth, James 1., and Charles I. The first volume was published in 1827; the whole of the second volume is printed, with the ex ception of the index. Five volumes more will be required to make the work complete to the reign of Charles I. inclusive; and it is conceived that they may, without inconve nience, be finished in seven years from the present time, at a probable expellee of 2,5001. per volume, printing and editorship inclusive. Mr. Bayley, of the Tower, who, assisted by the secretary, is the editor, concurs in this statement as to time and expellee. VI. Rolls (j . Parliament.—New edition. Mr. Palgrave. This comprehends the records and proceedings of the great councils and Parliaments of the realm, from Henry 11. to the close of the reign of Henry VIII. The collections began in 1823, the printing in 1825. One volume, containing the parliamentary writs, temp. Edward I. has been published, con sisting of 1152 pages, and two parts of the-parlia mentary writs, B.e. temp. Edward 11. are in the press, of which last-mentioned parts 1468 pages are worked off. The collections for the later reigns not being com pleted, the entire extent of the work cannot be ex actly calculated; but it appears that the materials for the reigns from Henry 11. to Edward 111., bath reigns inclusive, will form about nine volumes or parts r each volume or part containing from 1,000 to 1,200 pages. On the average, a part or volume of the before-mentioned bulk will be completed in each year, at an expense not exceeding 2,000/., and which sum includes editorship, collation, transcripts, clerks, stationery, and all incidental disbursements, printing excepted i which the King's printer states will prc bibly be about 3,0001. per volume. Mr. Paigrave, the editor, has also annexed a state ment, in accordance with the above, in a letter to the secretary, which is given at length, by way of appendix. WORK PREPARING FOR PRESS. VlL—Materials for a history of Britain, .fro»: the earliest period to the Accession of Henry VIII. —Mr. Petrie and Mr. Sharpe. The first portion, reaching to the year 1066, will make five volumes. Two of these are ready for press immed;ately ; the printing and paper for an edition in folio, of 750 copies, the number at pre- sent ordered by the Board, will cost about 1,350/. pe•r volume ; on the supposition that each volume will contain 1,000 pages, the work, it is conceived, cannot be contained in less than from 20.t0 25_vo- tomes : with respect to the expenses of editorship, Mr. Petrie and Mr. Sharpe, to whom the publica don is intrusted, state their inability to set forth the probable amount, before the first portion be com pleted; and they decline accepting any remuneration until that period arrives; neither are they able to state with certainty the length of time which the work will require to its completion ; not less than k one year, however, for each volume, will be requite The above statement has been made by the Editors, Messrs. Pettie and Sharpe. VIII. REPARATIONS OF RECORDS IN PUBLIC REPO- SITORIES. This necessary operation commenced by order of the Board on the Ist July, 1819, and has been con tinued to the present time, and is still in progress. The following arc the names of the offices in which these operations have taken place I. The Office of the First Fruits. 11. The Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer. 111. The King's Remembrancer. IV. The Duchy .of Lancaster. V. The Rolls Chapel. VI. The Chapter House, \Vestminster. VII. The Augmentation Office. The documents which required reparation in the Office of First Fruits, and in that of the Lord Trea surer's Remembrancer, have been completed; those in the King's Remembrancer's Office have only in part been completed, (viz. about six hundred bundles of Exchequer proceedings), on account of great part of the records in the office having been removed into Westminster Hall, as a place of temporary deposit, in the year 1821, and the consequent disability of carrying on the work properly, until a more fit place of deposit could be provided for them. THE OFFICES STILL REMAINING INCOMPLETE, ARE, 1. The Duchy of Lancaster, in which office '240 volumes have been formed from bundles and bound, containing inquisitions post mortem, pleadings, sur veys, &c., from Henry VIII. to the 23d of Elizabeth. 2. The Rolls Chapcl.-162 bUoks, comprehend- ing the series of inquisitions post mortem, from the reign of .Henry VII. to the 12th year of Queen Elizabeth, have been bound in folio, which pre viously were in bundles, and consequemtly not easy of reference. 3. The ',Chapter house, IVestminster.-303 volumes' have been bound in folio and quarto, con taining valuable historical and other• papers, surveys; rentals, &c., of various periods from early time. 4. The Augmentation Office.-287 volumes, in folio and quarto, of a similar nature. with those at the Chapter House, including also more than 5,000 deeds, have been bound, and neatly 16,000 rolls, most or them previously unarranged,.unknc4n, and obscure, have been completely repaired, newly with parchment backs, and labelled, and endorsed with the titles of their contents. To the _operations above-mentioned the Secretary to the Board has given his general superintendence over all the works here described, and his more particular attention to the two last-mentioned offices ; every book and roll having been inspected and marked by him, for all which, however, as yet, he has received no remune ration whatever. It will be observed, that ten years nearly have been employed upon these reparations, the whole amount of charge during that period has been 6,1371. 6s. 7d.: consequently these works have very little exceeded in expense, one year with another, the sum of 6001., and the whole has been paid for binding and mecha nical labour. ......... ___ _ How much longer it may take to put the present offices in a state of complete arrangement, cannot be stated with any degree of precision. SCOTLAND. --WORKS IN PROGRESS AT TILE PRESS. 1.--The Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland. Of this work ten volumes are already printed ; viz., from the second to the eleventh inclusively.— The first volume, with its introductory prolegomena, is in progress at the press, and may probably be com pleted within the present year. The indexes of matters to the whole work will constitute the twelfth and last volume, but cannot •be in readiness for the press in less than two years from this time. Each of these volumes will extend to about GOO pages ; the printing and binding of each volume will cost about 1,5001. The expence of transcription and other editorial expences cannot be exactly ascertained, but in addition to those already incurred and provided for, they may be estimated at under 1,0001. IL—Collection of Ancient Royal Charters. Of this work a part is already printed, which is intended ultimately to form the first part of the second volume of a work which will extend to three volumes in folio. The expense of printing the por tion of this work above alluded to exceeded 1,000/., but if the number of copies should be reduced from 1,000 to 500, the expence of the whole that remains to be executed would probably not exceed '2,000/. The expellees of transcription and other editorial expences would amount to at least an equal. From the peculiar nature of the work, four or five years would still be required for its completion. M.—Abridgment of the Registers of Seisins. This is a work not intended for general circula tion, but solely to facilitate researches in the Gene ral Register House, which are at present of a most laborious, tedious, and expensive kind ; and of which the difficulty has long been progressively in creasing. The abridgment commences with the year 1781, and the first 20 years have been nearly completed at press ; and this portion of the work will amount to 3,500 pages in folio. The second series of 20 years, will, in extent, exceed the first by at least one-hallTand cannot be safely completed within less than four or five years. It is a work which must afterwards proceed progressively at nearly the same rate. Only 21 copies are printed, and the expence on that head amounts to about 2/. 108. per sheet. The expences of compiling, tran scribing, &c., amount at present, to about 1,100/, per annum, and cannot be greatly diminished till the an•ear be fully brought up. WORKS PREPARING FOR THE PRESS. I.—Abridgment of the Re,gister of thc Great Seal. The compilation of this work has been in regular progress since the year 1821; its probable extent, when printed, has been calculated at two closely printed volumes in folio, on the supposition of its being brought down to the Union ►n 1707. The state of the actual compilation, however, which comes down only to the reign of Queen Mary, ren ders this conjecture uncertain. Several years, not less than four, must be required to complete the abridgment, but in the mean time it will be sent to the press; and on the supposition of its amounting to two closely printed volumes of 700 pages each, the expellee of printing may be e:timated at 3,000/., and the other editorial expences at from 1,6001. to 2,0001. 11.—An Abridgment of the Register of Entails. A selection from the records of Privy Council. An index to the Register of Entails. Considerable preparations for these works have been made, but at present their completion remains suspended. JOHN CALEY, Secretary to His Majesty's Commisioners on the June 11, 1529. Public Records. APPENDIX. !G, Duke-street, Westminster, May 12, 1829. In obedience to the Order of the House of Com mons of the 6th instant, the undersigned transmits the particulars of the New Edition of the Rolls of Parliament now in progress, and on which he is en. gaged, under the direction of the Board. THE WORK COMPREHENDS I. Assizes, ordinances, and legislative and judicial proceedings of the great councils and of the " Curia Regis," from the reign of Henry IL. to the period when the series of Parliament Rolls, properly so called, begins. 11. The writs of summons to the end of the reign of Henry VII. when the Rolls of Parliament ter minate. 111. The proxies of the spiritual and temporal lords, and all documents affording evidence of the attendance given by peers or others specially sum tnont,d to Parliaments or great councils. IV. The writs of election for the Commons, to gether with the returns thereto. The writs de ex pelvis, and all other documents relating to the at tendance of the members of the Commons, and their parliamentary character and privileges. V. The Rolls of Parliament corrected and re vised, the former edition not being a faithful trait- Ecript from the original record. VI. Petitions or bilis presented to Parliament or to the council ; pleas in Parliament or before the council, (very many of which are not entered on the existing Rolls of Parliament); proceedings in in ' ferior courts which originated in Parliament or in the council, or were returned into Parliament or before the council ; all inquests taken by virtue of parlia- mentary commissions, and all other documents sup plying the numerous chasms in the Rolls of Parlia ment, or arising out of or elucidating the proceed ings of Parliament or the council, from the reign of Jolan to the reign of Henry VII. VII. Writs of military service, and other docu ments relating to military service. The text, composed of the before-mentioned ma- terials, is accompanied by a full alphabetical digest; by a chronological abstract, and by such tables (c. g. tables of the returns of the writs of election) as are required by the nature of the text of each volume; this apparatus being added for the purpose of ren tiering the contents more accessible to the reader, who may not be conversant with ancieat records. - The extent and magnitude of the work may in some measure be estimated from the general view of the materials ; but it is Rot in the power of the editor to state at present the exact number of vo lumes which.the whole will form, inasmuch as the records for the reigns of HenrylV. V. and VI. _ 'eve only been partially examined, and the collec ions for the reigns of Edward 111. and Richard 11. are not completed. So far, however, as he can eal. culate, the work, to the conclusion of the Parlia mentaryWrits of the reign of Edward 111. will ex. tend as follows ; viz. - • See Statement c Henry 11. Richard I. and John 1 vol. of Searches Henry 111 1 vol. See State Meat Edward I. Parliamentary Petitions, Rolls, &e. 1 vol. Published Edward I. Parliamentary Writs, &c. See Statement Edward 11. Parliamentary Petitions, _ . Rolls, &c. In the press, Edward 11. Parliamentary Writs, &c. 1 vol. divided into two parts Edward 111. Parliamentary Writs 2 vols. The editor was appointed a sub-commissioner for the purpose of executing the Work, on the 27th April, 1822 ; and the printing of the First Volume, entitled "Parliamentary Writs, &c. of Edward 1." began in October, 1825, and was completed in July, 1827: it contains 288 sheets, or 1,152 pages. The printing of the Second Volume began in October 1827. On account of the bulk of important matter, it has been divided into two parts, of which 367 sheets, or 1,468 pages, are worked off. The First Part is nearly completed, and the Second is expected to be ready for delivery in the course of the year: In calculating the progress of a work intended to embrace all the materials evidencing the legal and political history of the constitution, derived from so many sources, and of which the materials are scattered, not only in the different repositories of public re cords and in public libraries, but also in ecclesiastical registries and other repositories, partaking of a pri vate character, allowance must be made for unex . . pected difficulties, and also for the loss of time and inconvenience occasioned by the great dispersion of the materials. When practicable, the proofs have always been colla'ed three times by the editor with the original records, and it has frequently happened, that when one portion of a sheet has been taken from originals at the Tower, other portions are taken from originals at the Chapter House, or the Mu seum, or Lambeth Library. The collation is also rendered very tedious by the necessity of verifying the names of persons and places by comparison with other documents. Other delays arise from the necessity of investiga tions which are suggested as the work proceeds, and which are not to be foreseen when its general plan is formed. On the average, however, judging from what has been effected, and calculating upon the same scale, the editor thinks that in each year he can complete a volume, containing from 250 to 300 iheets, or from 1,000 to 1,200 pages, at an expense intAacceeding 2,0001. for each volume. In ordinary it Is expected that the expense will not exceed • per volume (and which sum includes tran s, the salaries of clerks employed in copying digests, stationery, and all other disbursements). In order to insure the steady and expeditious publication of the work it is necessary that the editor should, as lie has hitherto done, continue to employ himself unremittingly upon the same; and that the collection of materials, the working off of the text, and the composition of the abstracts and digests (the latter being by far the most important and laborious portion of the task), should all advance pani passu, for if any one of these processes be interrupted the break occasions a loss of time which cannot be after wards recovered. It is also highly important that the editor should be able to secure the assistance of clerks, who must be specially trained to the work, and qualified for the employment by habit and practice ; the pecu liarities of the language (particularly the Norman French), and of the character, rendering it impos sible to employ persons whO are not so educated. For the farther information of the House as to the magnitude and extent of the work, the editor adds a statement of the searches and transcripts which have been made, arranged according to the reposi tories of records; such of the transcripts as are not Edward 111. ann. 28, and of various years, of which the exact date is not yet ascerta i ne d. Richard 11. ann. 1,5, 7,11, 13, 17, and of various years, of which the exact date is not yet asect tained. Henry IV. ann. 3, and of various years, of which the exact date is not yet ascertained. Henry V. ann. 2,9, and of various years, of which the exact date is not yet ascertained. Henry VI. ann. 1,3, 4,6, 7,8, 9, JO, 15, 28, and of various years, of which the exact date is not yet ascertained. Edward IV. Various years, of which the exact date is not yet ascertained. The petitions of various years are the most numerous. The first set, consisting of upwards of 4,000, was produced to the editor in 1822, and the transcription and.collation thereof was completed io 1825, as appears by the alphabetical lists delivered to yott, they belong, principally, to the earlier reigns A second set, which consists of about 1,000 bills and petitions, chiefly of the reigns of Henry IV., V., and VI., was produced to the editor in 1826. Several bags and hampers of unsorted petitions, since brought from the White Tower, remain to be examined. The petitions of ascertained years to the close of Henry VI., and all those of Edward IV., remain to be transcribed. Many parliamentary proceedings remain upon files in the White Tower, intermixed with judicial writs, &c.; these also require examination. IVrits of Elcclion, and Returns and Writs de .E.r. penis.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH ; PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated June 25.) PARIS, JUNE 24.--IVe find the following passage in a mercantile letter from Constantinople, published by the Augsburgl Gazette " In expectation of the arrival of the French and English Ambassadors there is a kind of diplomatic arm►stice. The Reis Effendi has not had any con ferences for some time with any of the European Ministers, but on the other hand he secs almost every day the Envoy of Persia in the Palace of the Porte." -The Aviso of Toulon contains a letter from Algiers of the Gth of June, of the following tenour " Four or five days ago a Tunisian schooner brought to Algiers an envoy of the t•ultan : he is a Chamberlain of distinction, and a favourite with his Sovereign. He is s.ent to the Dey strongly to urge him, in the name of the Sultan, his master, to give to France all the satisfa - ction which it requires, or which it may demand in its ultimatum. The deci sion of the Divan has not yet transpired." The same Journal adds—" The . /liessangc schooner, which comes from Algiers, has brought despreches for the Government, which are said to be of great importance. Every body here is persuaded that they relate to the arrival at Algiers of the Envoy of the Sultan, mentioned biota correspondent. Orders have already been given to suspend the embarkation of bombs on board the gun-boats, and it is to be sup posed the Government expected something of the kind, because even before the arrival of the Ales sange, the preparations for the bombardment were relaxed. Will this attempt at conciliation also prove unavailing?" FRENCH FUNDS.--PARIS, JUNE 24.—Five per Cent,. 109 f. 108 f. 95c. 109 f.

(Signed) " JOHN KNIGHT, Secretary." The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER gave a grand dinner yesterday at Gloucester-11011 , e, ntrk lane, to the Duchess of CLantr.NCE, the Duchess of SAXE Wtot.sn, and a distinguished party. The Duke of CLARENCE took an ailing in the Park yesterday, in an open carriage. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, PaNcr LEOPOLD, and the Princess So- MIA MATILDA, visited the Royal Duke and his Duchess yesterday, at their residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE gave a dejeunh' on Thursday to the members of the Royal Family ; after Which the RAINER, family were introduced into the apartment, and sang several of their - national airs. The Duchess of K ENT entertained a numerous party to dinner, on Wednesday, at her residence in the King's Palace, at Kensington. • The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER honoured Lady WARBITIITON with their company to dinner, on Thursday, at her residence in Albemarle-street. The Duke or CUMBERLAND honoured the tats Ot BtARBOROUCTI with his company to dinner on tliiiMay, at his residence in POrtman-square. There WO a select party to meet his Royal Highness. The Princess AUGUSTA had a select party to (Miner on Wednewlay, at her residence in the Kint i , , 's Pa'ace, St. James's. At eleven o'clock yesterday morning, the Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council held a meeting in the Privy Council Chamber, Whitehall. Those present were, the Loma PRESIDENT, Lord Wrx roan, Sir GEORGE ROSE, and the Right Hon. H. ELLIOT. Their Lerdships were occupied till four o'clock in the afternoon hearing- the argnment4 of counsel on two apperl c Imes, both of them from the Wand of Jersey ; the first, MAarte tt. JENNEP.," the other " BENYST v". PIPOIL" C)it thtiast case being rOncluied, their Lordships adjourned. The Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied by Count and the Countess MUN S TER, end sevvral other per sons of distinctions, honoured the p•rformmnre at Astley's Amphitheatre with their presence en Thursday evening last. Monsieur MARS, to whom the public has Leen some time indebted for that lively little Miscellany, the Furet de Londres, had a benefi., last night at the Argyll Rooms, which was fully and fa%hionably attended. The entertainment was of the most select characttr. An account has been published, by order of the House of Commons, "of ail goods detained and sold tit the Custom-house, in the last year, on the plea of being undervalued by the importer; thereof," which appears to be very defective, in as far as it does not show whether the revenue has Leen benefited by such detention on the part of the officers who rejected the valuation at which the said goods were entered. The object of the Hon. Member, or the parties on whose behalf he moved for the production of the account, is thereby defeated. The following is an abstract of the account : Cross produce of sales .£3,607 6 8 Amount of sale above the merchants' valuation £l,6SO 6 10 Ameunt of sale below the merchants' valuation 74 10 7 .0 1,r0.5 16 :1 it is left doubtful, however, whether this includes duty, merchants' p,r centage, and charges of sale. The net produce of sale, after deducting the amount paid to the merchant, and all charges, is stated to be 1,5751. 7s. 3y., out of which there was to be paid to the seizing officers 7871. 13s. 71d., leaving to the revenue 7871. 13s. The return ought to have shown what the duty would have been if the merchants' valuation had been accepted. This must be, in part, matter of con;ecture, but it ap pears, from the Parliamentary document, that the mer clEsnts' valuation of the goods was 4,201/. 10s. 5d., the ml valorem duty on which ranges from 20 to 75 per cent. ; so that it may he concluded that the amount of duty thereon would have fallen very little short of the sum stated as " net proceeds," a moiety of which went into the pocket of the officer instead of the Exchequer, who has a motive, therefore, for the detention of the goods vexatiously. LADY CODRINGTON'S BALL.—The above Lady gave a ball en Thursday night, at her residence in Eaton-square. Besides their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, there were present upwards of 300 of the principal Nobility. The mansion was fitted up in the most splendid style, and decorated with the rarest exotics and the choicest flowers. Dancing com menced shortly after eleven o'clock, to the music of WKlr rnefs hand, and did not terminate until after four o'clack in the morning. The supper aed refreshments were under tFe direction of Messrs. GUNTER. DUBLIN, JUNE 24.--This mowing Mr. O'CONNELL, acCompaDied by Messrs. RONAYNE. SUGRUE, LANIGAN, BARTLETT, &c. attended at the Head Ofike of Police, to lodge informations against Mr. TALtiox GL As coot:, the opposition Candidate for Clare. Mr. PLONAYNE stated he had heard Mr. GLASCCCE make use of threaten ing language on divers occasions to Mr. O'CONNELL ; but that particularly, on the day before, he saw Mr. GLAS COCK in the Hall of the Four Courts, flourishing a de tonating gun, made to resemble a cane, and with which he swore he would drive a bullet through the while liver of the Great Demagogue, without touching his black heat with several expressions of a similar nature, all ttliding to create an apprehension that he would commit a breach of the peace. The informations of Messrs. O'CoN NFL!, and RONAYNE were immediately taken by Mr. Tenon, who forthwith issued his warrant, and in less than half an hour, .MANLY, the officer, took Mr. GLAS- C 4 etc into custody as he was stepping into his travelling carriage, at the door of his Hotel in Dawson-street. On being examined by Mr. Tunon, he disclaimed any inten tun of offering violence to the person of Mr. O'CONNELL. He failed, however, in inducing Mr. TUDOa to believe that lie was not influenced by hostile motives, and was therefore ordered to find securities to keep the peace, him self in 5001., and two householders of respectability in 250/. each. Mr. GLASCOCK stated he could easily pro cure the -necessary sureties , and immediately despatched his • Tit nd and relative, young- Mr. SCEIVEIT, in search of them. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1829. Despatches nem received at the Colonial Office, this morning, from Lieut.-General F. C. PONSONBY, at Malta, dated May 27 ; also from General Sir CHARLES DON, at Gibraltar, dated June 12; and from the British Minister, at Cadiz, dated June 14. We understand none of the above despatches contain any intelligence of rnportance. Extracts from the French Papers i,vill be found in another column ; their contents, it will be seen, `are far from being either important or in- cresting. Accounts from St. Domingo, of the 21st April, state that the island was in a most wretched condition. There was no security; money wag scarce ; and the people were in such a miserable state that they could neither afford to cut timber or bring it down from the interior of the country_ To add to their distress, mahogany was getting scarce and high priced. The merchants there have been obliged to pay large sums into the treasury for the payment of the troops, and many wealthy people had lately been induced to leave the island in order to avoid these contributions. Small money was so scarce that in paper currency the ten dollar notes had fallen to seven dollars. As Public Monuments seem just now very much in vogue, we know no one who can lay stronger claims to such a flattering distinction, than that excellent man and eminent philosopher, the late Professor DUGALD STEWART, of Edinburgh. If an uninterrupted course ofpublic services, extended over the greatest part of half a century, can entitle a man to the active grati tude of his countrymen, then the Professor will be found in every respect to have earned the highest posthumous honours it. is in their power to bestow. As a man, he was the soul of integrity and strict moral worth ; as a philosopher, he laid down principles of the loftiest and most efficient nature ; as a logician and a thinker, he was acute, liberal, tolerant, in his opinions; and only less profound than he was simple and convincing in his style. Few men can rise from the perusal of Professor STEwAnT's works without feeling their judg ment strengthened and their feelings elevated. He has no brilliant startling paradoxes, no Utopian schemes of regeneration, his productions :owe their charm to the great good sense and practical (and, in some respects, severe) acquaintance with the world, that every where abound in their pages. If Lord ELDON, the fixed—though we verily believe conscientious---opponent of every thing that tends to enlarge or purify the faculties of the human mind, is deemed worthy of a public monument ; how much worthier is that man whose whole life was spent in the diffusion of sound and healthy intellect, and who, from his success and influence in that respect, may ex claim with quite as much justice as HonAcE, " Ezegi monumentum nre perennius, Regalique situ pyramidutn altius, Quod non imber edax, non Aquilo impotrns Possit diruere." Our attention has been called by a letter in another column to a question of serious interest - to that respectable body—the surgical practi tioners of the metropolis—a great portion of whom divide with the chemists and druggists the retail business' of drugs, chemicals, and patent medicines. It appears that this influential and highly respectable body are put to serious inconvenience, and kept in a state of constant alarm by the ingenious but highly disgraceful practices of that hole-and• corner fraternity, the " informers," who seek out every opportunity of bringing their contrivances to bear for the sake of the " penalty." If these gentry were on the alert and " laid their informations " for attempts at eluding the Stamp duties in bona fide cases, we should commend their watchfulness rather than reprove their alacrity ; but when we find them hunting out and contriving pretexts for taking in the unwary, by feigning cases of sudden illness, and so forth, we think their con duct cannot be too much reprobated. But this is not all. The informers, failing in making out a " good case,' scruple not in swearing lustily to a " bad one," upon the strength of which many an honest man has been compelled to pay the same penalty as if he had transgressed the " legitimate" source of com plaint. For instance—because a Mr. HENRY had obtained a patent for " aromatic vine gar," which goes by his name, it seems no person must sell any article called " aromatic spirit of vinegar," or " concentrated spirit of vinegar"—although such an article is indispen sable in every surgeon's or apothecary's shop, and is besides recognized by the Royal Col lege of Surgeons of London, Edinburgh, and Dublin ! Really these things reflect no credit upon the over-busy informers, nor upon those who countenance their proceedings, by allowing a reward where none is due. We arc certain that the Commissioners are them selves imposed upon by those very ingenious gentlemen who earn their precarious livelihood by " informations," or they never would permit any rewards to he given in cases similar to those in question. The " practice" requires reforma tion—and that speedily. TIIE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CIT Y, 7';vEtrE 0' apex-.

CAPF; lIAYTI, MAY B.—The Government have laid an increased duty of 10 per cent. on dudes and port charges of American vessels. This measure is said to be in consequence of Haytiatt vessels not being admitted to an entry in the United States on the same terms as American vessels. Letters from Havannah of the 24th state that five pirates were to be hung. The - amount of duties on imports at the port of New York in the year 1827 was 13,217,695 dollars, and in 1828, 13,745,147. The singular disparity between the corresponding quarter of 1828 and 1829, which was in 1829; 2,688,085 dollars, and in 1828, 4,189,116, arises from the pending of the late tariff law in Congress during the spring of last year. slr.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a writ of mandamus on behalf of the inhabitants of . Putney, and directed to Sir J. Nichols, calling on the Vicar Of that parish to establish a claim which he had set up against the Inhabitants, to elect a person to the office of churchwarden. The inhabitants meant to try the question hona• f/dc, and he believed the pro per course was to obtain a mandamus. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE suggested that the bet ter mode would be, if they meant to try the ques tion, to take altile nisi, and the question might be arranged by the merits of the case coming before the Court in showing cause against that rule. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Collsented to take a rule nisi, and observed, that he was also instructed to move on behalf of the Vicar; but he should of course leave that to some other gentleman. NAYLOR V. TAYLOIL-POLICY OF INSURANCE. This was an action on a policy of insurance, by the Owner of the ship Monarch, against an under writer, to recover 200/., the value of a cargo shipped at Liverpool for the river 1)e la Plate, on board that vessel, The master had liberty to put into any other part of South America, in case he should be warned off the river. The policy was effected, and the Monarch sailed in March, 1826, when it was known that the river 1)e la Plate was blockaded by thd Brazilian squadron. The vessel arrived there, was captured, and sent off to Rio Janeiro for comlemnation. Before, however, she arrived there, t h e Captain found means of recapturing her, and re turning to Liverpool with the cargo. When notice of the capture arrived in England, the owners of the cargo abandoned it, and came upon the assurers for the value. Before, however, the trial came on, the Captain arrived at Liverpool. A verdict for the plaintiff was returned at the trial, with leave to move to enter a nonsuit, which motion was now made by the Attorney-General, on the ground that the Captain had continued sailing for his original desti nation, even when he saw the Brazilian squadron blockading the port, and that instead of turning into the port of Monte "Video, and discharging his cargo there ; also, that having been captured, he ought to have abided the t r i a l o f a dj u di cat i on , at 'Rio Janeiro, where it was to be presumed that the vessel and cargo would have been restored by the Brazilian Government ; and the Learned Connie' further submitted, that when the C a pt a i n recap ttitrrtctlthe vessel, lie broke the law of nations, and divested the assured of ail claim on the assurers.

Vt'e hare heard it stated that it is the wish of the intstrious and venerable ELDON, that the money sub scribed for a testimonial of his virtues and deeds, should be applied, not in the erection of any perishable monu ment or work of human art, but to the noblest of ends, and for the most charitable and best of purposes, namely, in the establishing of six scholarships at the University College, Oxford, to be called " The Eldon Scholarships," for the benefit of deserving and deserted youths who may happen to want such assistance. On Saturday last two young gentlemen be _ _ longing to Ile!fast, together with a young lad of the name of CooeEia, who lived in Hulywood, put off from Cuitra in a yawl, at about half-past ten o'clock. Tl►e boat wan rkged with a sprit and lug sail- When they were about a mile from the Holywood shore, they attempted to put about, but in doing so the boat capsized, and they were precipitated into a very rough sea. They all succeeded in getting on the bottom of the boat ; and one of the party, after some time, with great presence of mind leaned over her side, and cut away the halyards and hawser ; thus freeing her from her least, and from a small anchor that had tumbled out when she capsized, and which had firmly grappled itself in the sand beneath. The boat was thus so fir freel as to partially right herself. In conse quence of the heavy surf, their desperate situation was unperceived by any of the numerous yachts that lay at anchor a short distance from them. The boat cell- tinned to drive s!owly towards the Antrim cua•t; hut at the expiration of aboat an hour, the poor boy COOPER, became so weak, that he dropped off unper ceived by his companions, and sank to rise no more ! Prior to this, one of the young gentlemen lid s,izeil him by the foot as be was s:ippiog into the 'eater, and hauled him out again on the boat's bottom ; but he was too fir exhausted to retain his hold. The boat was now so much lightened, that it drifted quicker towards land ; and after they had hung on for upwards of two hours, they were perceived from White-abbey ; and a boat put off to their assistance. They were found about half-a -mile from shore, :in a most deplorable state; quite worn out, and nearly blind. They were itnmed - ately put to bed in Mr. WlLLlAm son's, of White-abbey, and treated with the greatest atter titha- •In a few hours they were so far recovered, as to he .able to come to town in the evening. The body of the . boy CoorEa has not yet been found. He was an or phan, of excellent character, and was supported by an uncle. His .anx i e ty was so gre at to go on thi s sa ili ng tr i p, w hi c h proved so fatal to h im, that he induced a servant belong ing to one of the young gentlemen to sit np during the greater part of the previous night, to finish a check shirt, that he might appear properly rigged out on the occi• sion.—Belfast News Letter. WATERLOO BRIDGE. In consequence of a statement appearing in severe' of the Morning Papers of Tuesday last, stating that the northern pier of Waterloo Bridge was in a de' composed and alarming state, a meeting of the Cot mittce took place, and, as it appeared that the state ment was founded in falsehood and malignity, th e Committee resolved that the most public refutation of the calumnious report should be given. The Waterloo Bridge Committee directed that on excavation should be made close to the abutment pier, on the north side of Waterloo Bridge, for the purpov of ascertaining if " the part was complete i r rotten." It was considered somewhat marvellon s how the " two gentlemen," without excavation, had 1 ascertained the " rotten state of the pier," which,' being above ten feet below low-water-mark, ha d never been exposed to human eye since.its erection' To put the question entirely at rest, the Committee determined that the pier should be exposed to the view of the public. Yesterday afternoon the Committee and a numbe r of scientific gentlemen took a vi ew o f th e pi e r an d piles. Sir Joseph Sidney Yorke, Lord Carrington , Sir G. Cockburn, Sir Edward Banks, Mr. Carstait6 Mr. Jenkins, the Messrs. Rennie, Mr. Powell • the Surveyor of the Bridge, Sze. were present. The wo:kmen cut away the timber from the part of -- th e piles which is most exposed to the action of th e water, and it was found to be as sound as it when it was laid down in ISI6. There was no tir pearance of decomposition, and the weight of the pier upon the piles had in fact hardened the woody and tendered it less liable to be affected by the water' The two gentlemen who waited upon Lord Melville were, it is said, Mr. Peto, the builder of the Custom' house, and Mr. Jeffreys, who &aims to be the, ventor•of the approaches to the new London Bridge. 1 After - the Committee had ascertained that the repor t of the two gentlemen was unfound e d; Si r Jose ph Yorke, the Chait man, published the following letter : " TO THE EDITOR. OF TUX SUN. " Toll.honse, Waterloo-bridge, Friday, Juue 26, 162 9 ' " MR. EDITOR—A paragraph having appeared in sere' ral papers, giving an account of two very interesting gentle men having viAted Lord Melville (why Lord Melville?) to report on the defective state of the piles of the abutment of the Surrey side of Waterloo-bridge, the Committ:•e deemed it advisable to open the said abutment this morning, and laid the satisfaction to find that the platform and pil ing were in the soundest possible state. This was wit nessed by many most respectable persons, viz. Sir Geo• Cod:l:urn, Mr. Barrow, Messrs. Rennie, Sir Edwar d Banks, Mr. Miller, Mr. Taylor, the Surveyor of Build ings of the Navy Office, and many other scientific gentle men, as well as the Reporters of the Daily Press, who were all tvea'sati.•fied that the paragraph alluded to was aPY thing hut true. The motive in putting such a paragraph before the public, the gentlemen present were quite at it hay to imagine. " On the part of the Committee, " S. YORKE, Chairman. " P.S. Specimens of the timber may be seen at the Company's Office and at the Toll-house." They brought away with them some of the timber , which appeared to be in no degree affected, and wog as sound as when cut from the tree. There are not less than 1,70() proprietors of the Bridge, and many of them reside in remote parts of the country. Olio of them wrote yesterday to the Secretary, askirl " how long mould the dividend be suspended consequence of the repairs of the piers and the abut ment taking place ?" The gentlemen who have promulgated so unfounded a report, will no doubt feel themselves culled upon to explain their extraor• 'finery conduct in this affair. . . PLAN FOR PAVING CHEAPSIDE. TO THE LORD MAYOR AND CITIZENS OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN,— Passing . yesterday through Cheap side, I was struck with e plan you arc pursuing with the :41b-stratum of broken or Macadamized stones, en which, I suppose, the pavement is to.be laid, as in Fleet -street, at au enormous expellee, and cannot but think I can propose a much cheaper and more lasting plan. It is not new, for it has been pursued years at Milan, and behind St. Clement's Church, in the Strand; and though I grant the traffic in Cheapside is wonderfully greater, yet I could wish you much to try it, if it were only an experi ment of fifty yards, before Bow Church. %von!, it is to lay a double line of the curb-stones of the street thus— Ifor the wheels of carriages only to run on , fl an k e d, perhaps; by a paving stone, for the convenience of turning off and on. This railway 1 would not have raised at all above the level of the street, and as an old coachman myself, I see no insuperable objection to the scheme ; on the contrary, I see twenty reasons for its adoption, and will beg leave to slate a • few of the most important; assured, that an example being set by the city of London, the plan would be generally adopted; and, if I am not mistaken, a. lasting benefit would be conferred on the country, Many there are, no doubt, who will exclaim that the scheme is " impracticable"—that .it is " impossible;" but to such I answer, that already on •the Corso of where the carriages • follow each other Ai most as closely as in Hyde Park or Cheapside, it is done; and I will just beg to state the advan tages of such a road in a few words, being con vinced that, before long, it will be general; it would really hurt me that the City of London should not lead the way—at least in England :-Ist. Such a road is cheap (the best granite curb-stone hewed and prepared is 2s. per foot, whilst pavement costs 13 shillings per square yard, according to evidence before the Lords), lasting, and adapted to carriages as at present constructed. It is not proposed to groove it, or raise .it at all above the level of the street ; but is streets of great traffic to lay a double line, on the near and offsides, but on streets of less traffic, only a double line in the centre, leaving the sides for passing and re-passing, instead of the middle, as in Cheripside.-2d. It is easily laid on sand, gravel, or turf, and the heavier the weights that roll over it, the more it would be consolidated, not as at present pulverised.-3d. It would be equally .good in Winter as Summer; and if at last it wore.into grooves, move it .a few inches nearer or farther, or turn it.-4th. It would occasion no noise, dust or dirt.-sth. The excessive facility of draft (one horse, according to Mr. Jessop, draws twelve tons 2i miles per hour on iron, and on the Darling ton Railway, one gig horse drew .51 persons eight miles per hour), and rapidity of communication, and consegnent supply of provisions and intelligence, &e. froin every part of the island to the Metropolis; if adopted as a general road. Gth. The diminished suffering of that roble ani mal, she horse. 7th. The immense number of them that might be dispensed with (at present a horse a mile is the ge neral calculation for four-horse coaches; I. e. 12 0 horses for one roach to Bristol, being 120 miles), and consequently that the land (perhaps seven acres cultivated for every horse per annum), consumed for them, might be cultivated for man, rendering him less dependent on foreign supplies for bread, and without injuring rents or revenue, diminishing pours' rates, encouraging industry, and by giving employ m; to the poor, diminishing the alarming increase of crime. 8111. That vehicles on such roads need not be half as strong, expensive, or heavy in their construc tion, nor passengers or goods suffer half as much 0 9 at present; whilst their cheapness and durability would go far to increase their number and conve nience. 9th. Great increase of friendly arid mercantile communication, and of human happiness and cent ere. 10th and lastly. The highest of all gratifications in having led the way, and improved the conditiOn of the world. Such, Gentlemen, are a few, and only a few, Ol the advantages which I conceive would follow til6

St. Maryiebone, June 25. D. F. W. APPROACHES TO LONDON BRIDGE. MEETING OF IRS MAJESTY'S MINISTERS, AND A DEPUTATION FROM THE CORPORATION OF LON DON, RELATIVE TO LONDON-DRIDGE. Yesterday a. deputation from the Corporation OF London went to the Duke of Wellington's office, in Downing-street, by appointment, in order to diseusS the subject of the approaches to London-bridge. There were present, besides the Duke of Wellington, Lord Alelville, Sir 'George Cockburn, Mr. Herries, and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. The deputation con sisted of Alderman Wood, Mr. Routh, Mr. Jones, the Chairman of the Bridge Committee, Mr. Tickner, Mr. Locke, Mr. Rennie, the en gineer, and Mr. Newman, the comptroller of the Bridge-house estates. The arrangements and the conversation which stook place upon the subject were of the most satisfactory description. The Duke of WELLINGTON examined the plan upon which the Members of the Committee at Guildhall had agreed as the most eligible, with a great deal of attention, and his Grace appeared to be perfectly conversant with the numerous complicated details. He said that it was his most anxious wish that the approaches should correspond with - the magnificent structure which had been raised, and that the main approach on each side' should be so wide as to prevent the possibility of any, even the slightest obstruction, (:0 the passage of vehicles of all descriptions. Ale thought that the opposite houses should be • distant from each other about seventy feet, and that the pavement on each side should be about te n feet wide. This width of approach would prevent the inconvenience so often resulting in the narrow passages to the old bridge, from the stopping of carriages at shops. The pavement on each side of the bridge, he considered, should be nine feet wide. This was in exact accordance with Mr. Itel nie . s plan. The Duke of WELLINGTON expressed the greatest anxiety that the approaches to the new bridg e should be perfected with all possible ex pedition. He meant the main approaches— that fi-om Gracechurch-street, and that from Tooley-street, on the Borough side ; for as to the branch a pp roac h es , h e thought it advisable to postpone the deliberation with respect to them until the public should have some experience of the efl'ect of the plan. to which the Government .and the Committee now were giving their sanc tion. The great object at this moment was to abandon the old bridge as speedily as could be, for which purpose it would be necessary to cam nience operations at the arches to be rained on both sides of the river. It was the opinion of Mr Rennie, when he gave evidence before Parliament on the subject of old London-bridge, that that building was very insecure. In fact, he declared that he could not answer for its standing twelve months longer. The appearance of' the crazy old state ture,,froln the water or from the new bridge, favours this opinion of its instability. It is be lieved that the Duke of Wellington has appre hensions of this sort very strongly upon his mind, for be referred several times during the e:onversation to the necessity—the paramount necessity_ of pulling down the old stones. The Committee thought that the main ap proaches, the extent and direction of which were Pointed out by the Duke of Wellington, accord ing to their plan, would be completed within the Space of twelve months, so that the public may look with certainty to the commencement of the operations of trade over the new bridge next June. The object of the Duke, in suggesting that the branch approaches should form matter for future deliberation, is, we have reason to be lieve, that encouragement should not be given to the extravagant demands of the owners of .Premises, who, it is suspected, may be still dis- Posed to overrate goodwill, &c., notwithstanding the staggering checks which juries have given them on both sides of the water. The Duke of WELLINGTON urged the pro priety of beginning at the two arches immedi ately. He declared that the Government hoped to see approaches worthy of the grand structure, and he hinted that the Committee who were to s uperintend the buildings would not be justified to acting upon any other than a grand scale, c Orresponding with the bridge, however formi dable the expense might appear to be at the outset. Lord MELATILLE and Sir GEORGE COCK- A t./RN seemed to take great interest in the sub -Net, and put several questions to the engineer, *ho answered every thing satisfactorily. In the course of the conversation the Duke of WELLINGTON expressed his surprise at a had gross and ridiculous mis-statem e nt w hi c h 'tad gone abroad—that his Majesty's Govern ment and the Corporation of London were at I:ariance upon the subject at present under deli beration. Nothing could be more erroneous, 14 upid, or unfounded. There was no disagree fieut ; on the contrary, the most perfect under anding existed. They went hand-in-hand in " l is great work, and it would no doubt be com pleted m os t p ros p erous ly. Th e C omm i ttee h a d th e Bill, and were to put it into operation them tNves.

STAMP-OFFICE.-INFORMATIONS TO THE EDI ma OF TIIE SUN. giving space in your excellent Journal to the following, you will , be conferring an essential public service, as well as individual obligation:— It is well known that the great body of the Met cal Profession carry on their avocation in public shops, and that they divide with the chemists and druggists the retail of drugs, chemicals, and patent medicines. For the sale of the latter a licence from the Stamp-office is necessary, and must be renewed yearly, by paying 2/. Now, Sir, as this liberal land has no law to prevent quackery, nor ever will, since the health of his Majesty's liege subjects is of small importance when put - in competition with the im mense revenue derived from stamps to patent medi cines, the list of these medicines has been swelled out, and a catalogue of them would astonish all, however much devoted to quackery; and it is likely, provided disease does not take more rapid strides that the catalogue of quack puffery and humbug will exceed to an immense extent the number of ailments in Cullen's Nosology. There are about 553 articles of patent medicines with which I am familiar, and of these the consumption daily is enormous, and it is imperative that not one of these articles may be vended without a stamp proportioned to its price, viz., for Is. a stamp of lid.; 2s. 6d., 3d.; 45., CI, and so on ; au omission in affixing a stamp renders the party offending liable to a pc . natty of 10/. Now, this is all very well as regards patent medicines, for if the public mind in these marching times of intellectuality, does not improve in physical knowledge in an equal ratio to the other sciences, why, they must still continue to swallow the nostrums of the quack, and if the stamp duty were treble the amount of what it now is, so much the better for the coffers of the State; but this law of stamping has latterly become greatly perverted. Articles sold are now obliged to l am , stamped on which originally the law was never intended to bear, and the thing has become most try ingly vexatious and obnoxious to the retailer of drugs and chemical.% Thus, for instance, a man of the name of Henry obtained a patent for making " aromatic vinegar," which is sold in bottles at 2s. 9d., and this article must bear a 3d. stamp. The Dispensatories published under the authority of the Royal College of Physicians of London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, authorize an article to be , made called aromatic spirit of vinegar, or concen trawl spirit of vinegar, which is kept in every shop, arid retailed from three pennyworth and up wards. Now, because there is a patent article called " Henry's Aromatic Vinegar," no retail ven der of drugs must sell any quantity of this article, aromatic spirit of vinegar, that is not Henry's, with out affixing a stamp to the phial it is put into, un der the penalty of 101.; so that if a lady fainting in the streets, and her vinegarette chances to want replenishing with this very choice article, you must, notwithstanding her delicate situation, after you have filled her gold or silver receptacle, fast bind it by a stamp, and she must continqe her fainting t such time as bcr attendants arc enabled to disengage this now legal addition to the vinegirette. Thus, Mr. Editor, by a most adroit quibble, a species of annoyance is created and an advantage taken, which the law never intended, by a set of sharpers, who gain a livelihood by making these pitiful de- _ . tections, and laying informations at the office of Mr, Timm; solicitor of stamps, immediately upon which] _ . an Exchequer writ is issued in all the majesty and pomp of office, " at the suit of his Majesty's At totney-General, by information," ordering you to appear by attorney before the Barons of the Court of Exchequer on such a day, and in nowise omit, under the penalty of 100/., to be levied on your goods and chattels; but this is rarely if ever carried into effect, the usual course being to petition the Honourable Commissioners of Stamps for a mitiga tion of penalty, which is invariably complied with, and these gentlemen in their leniency are mercifully pleased to be so moderate, that they direct Mr.Timm tote!! you, that "if you pay into hisoffice, within so many days, the sum of f our poun d s l aw f u l money of this realm, it will prevent all further proceedings to recover the full penalty and costs." This the poor offenders are glad to do, none being hardy enough to stand the brunt of an action, because it is well known how these things go in the Court of Exchequer. Having sold Aromatic Vine gar for fourteen years, some thou4ands of times, I was totally ignorant that by so doing I was acting wrong, according to the technicalities of law. I should as soon have• thought that I was equally liable for selling a few pennyworth of calcined mag nesia unstamped, beeathe there is also a quack medi- eine called " Henry's Calcined Magnesia." The one case is equally as just as the other; and feeling as I do for ail my fellow sufferers, whom I know to be numerous, but who probably fear the ordeal of . . appearing before the publie,—in their name and my own, through the medium of the press, I recommend all ►vho retail drugs to be extremely circumspect, not only as regards the sale of Aromatic Vinegar, but many other articles also. For myself I may loudly complain, after continued repetitions of these Vexatious penaltie , . I\o less than three times have I been compelled, within the last three years, to pay, first 51. and two subsequent ones of 41. each for selling some trumpery pennyworth of lozenges. Rom the interpretation which Honourable Commis- sioners give of the law, Apothecaries must not sell or recommend a saline draught without a stamp to any poor soul sweating under the influence of a ver tical sun, without miming the risk of an information for selling soda water, as the following remarkable clause in the Act will fully verify, and its accommo dation has been highly beneficial to that class of re spectable persons called " Informers :"—" All waters, and all artificial mineral waters, impregnated with soda or mineral alkali, or with carbonic acid gas, and all compositions in a liquid or solid state to be used for the purpose of compounding, or making any of the said waters." Having now stated the annoyances which Re ailers of Drugs arc exposed to, I think it will be seen how necessary it is for all whom it may con cern t& unite their efforts in devising or seeking some remedy for so grievous a state of the law as that relating to the sale of drugs, since its perversion has led to so much annoyance and serious incon- venience.—l remain, M.

CORONER'S INQUESt. Yesterday evening, at half-past six o'cloCk, an inquisition was taken before THOMAS HIGGs, Esq. ori the bodies of E!iabeth Caftans, aged twenty- . ten, and her infant, Sarah Cart erns, aged six months, who were found drowned in the Serpentine. Widiam Birch, of No. 9, Harcourt-street, Bryan t stone-square, went to bathe in the Serpentine River, about four o'cl oc k th a t morn i ng ; h e sa w the de- I ceased infant floating on the top of the water, near the gratings, on the east side, near the waterfall. Ile immediately went in arid took the body out; it was quite dead; he laid it on a stone, and went to in form the officers of the Humane Society of the cir cumstance. On his return be found the body had been removed to the watch-house. James Bastin, in the employ' of the Humane So ciety, was informed of the circumstance by the first witness, and immediately got the drags, to try arid find if any other body was in the water, but without success. Afterwards he heard some soldiers' wives mention that they had seen a female and child cry ing in the park about four o'clock in the afternoon, and a man informed him that he had seen a female and child near the spot between nine and ten o'clock on the. previous evening. This information caused him to drag again, and about a quarter to twelve o'clock at noon he found the body of the mother of the deceased infant. The body was about 12 yards from the shore, and about 10 yards from the grating where the infant was found. The water about seven feet deep. In her pockets he found seven duplicates, chiefly for articles of dress of trifling value, and pawned for small sums from 9d. to 3d. Eliza Bates stated, that the deceased Elizabeth was her sister-in-law. She lived with her husband at Males's-rents, Chiswick. He WitS a brickl iyer's labourer, and earned about 16s. a week. She was not given to drinking; but had frequently Fawned her husband's clothes and run him in debt. The deceased had another child besides, Sarah, who Was about two years old. CoRoNER—Did she appear to be of weak mind Witness—No, Sir, she was as much in her senses I am. Elizabeth Wyse stated, that the deceased was her daughter-in-law. She had run her husband considerably in debt. There was a bill at the ba ker's for 3/. 15s. 10d., which be knew nothing of; and also 16 months rent, one half of which he be lieved she had paid. She had made him out false bilk, which appeared to have been settled. John Catteins, a bricklayer's labourer, stated, that the deceased anti her infant were his wife and child; she often pawned his things when he was at work. Last Tuesday week he Warned her for giv ing him a false account of some money which she had paid; she trembled very much, and appeared much agitated as if she was deranged; he told her she must clear it up. She went away that night, and did not return until the following Tuesday at night with her sister; he again asked her what she had done with the money; she refused to tell him then, but said that she would the next day, when she said that the devil had got hold of her, and she did not know what to do; she again left him on the Wednesday, and he saw no more of her until he heard that both her and the child had been found in the Serpentine. Juror—Had you ever any words with your wife ? Witness—We had about the money sometimes. Juror—Did you always give her the money you earned every week ? Wiwess—Always, when I was in work, which was about I6s. per week. Jtiror—Was your %►ife given to drinking? Wit ness—Not in the least : she was a very sober woman. Juror—Did you 'ever beat your wife ? Witness — I believe I have only struck her twice since we have been married, which is nearly four years. This being the whole of the evidence, the CO RONER observed, that although the presumption was that the unfortunate woman had destroyed herself and infant, yet there was no evidence to prove how they came into the water:, The Jury coincided, and remarked, that the poor woman had expended the money, and got into debt to support her family, and did not like to let her. husband know. After a short consultation, the Jury returned a verdict—" That the _deceased moth er an d infant were found drowned; but how they came there was not known to the jurors." OPENING OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.—On Tuesday the noble edifice which the liberality of the Cor poration of the City of Edinburgh and the classical genius of Mr. HAMILTON has provided for the accommodation of this ancient and distinguished seminary, was opened rite et solenniter, in the mode which had been previously ar ranged, and with all the pomp and circumstances which the occasion tequired.— Caledonian Mercury.

SINGULAR CHARGE.—?I young surgeon • was apprehended last week at Sheffield, under a warrant charging him with having stolen a pair of stockings, a flannel petticoat, a dimity petticoat, a satin sl;p, and a bon net ! It appeared that he had, in fact, stolen a young lady, and hail been married to her at Gretna Green, and that her mother, not relishing the connexion, had gone be fore a Magistrate, and preferred a charge of stealing the clothes in which the fair fugitive was attired at the time altar flight. What became of the case is not mentioned in any of the Sheffield papers that we have seen.—Stoch_ port Advertiser. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, yesterday, TIENRY RICJIA RD MATTHEWS, late of No. 3, Hones-street, Cavendish-square, and 107, Oxford-street, linen-draper, was opposed on behalf of Mess's. LADEROKE, the bankers. It appeared that one of the insolvent's bills had come into the Wands of Mess's. LA unnoxic, and having been dis honoured, they commenced proceedings against the insol vent for the amount; the insolvent, by pleading the gene ral issue, put Messrs. LADBROKE. to considerable expellee, and then rendered to prison. He was remanded for four months. RICHARDSON, the author of the " Anecdotes on Paintings," used to relate the following encouragement to frankness :—A gentleman called to invite him to-his house. " I have," says he, " a picture by RUBENS, and a rare fine one. There is little H--, the other day, came to see it, and says it is a copy. If any one says so . again I'll break his load. Pray, Mr. RICHARI,SON, do me the favour to come and give me your real opinion of it." We arc sorry to announce that a most dis• tressing accident, by which two individuals have lost their lives, occurred on Saturday week, about three o'clock in the afternoon, at one end of the coal-pits d Lord DERBY, at Eccleston, near Prescot. It appears that two men, named RICHARD HAYES and WILLIAM EDDLESTON, were engaged in the sinking of a new pit, which had already been sunk to the depth of about 64 yards, and having prepared a mine at the bottom for blasting the rock with gunpowder, bad ascended to the mouth of the pit for the purpose of igniting the train, which, it seems, is usually done by means of a heated wire, let down by a string. The men were standing on a stage, at the mouth of the pit, when the gunpowder was ignited, and this unfortu nately communicated with the inflammable air of fire damp, with which the pit appears to have been tilled, and caused a most tremendous explosion, which shook the neighbouring town, and was heard for several miles mound. The brick-work in the interior of the shaft, the wooden stage at the mouth, and the unfortunate men who were standing upon it, were thrown into the air to a great height, as if from the mouth of a cannon, and tie' fragments of the men and the materials were afterwards found scattered around, at a great distance from the pit. HAYES was found in one of the buildings attached to a pottery, about 40 or 50 yards distant from the place where he was thrown, having, in his fall, broken through tl e roof, which was formed of timber and slate.

If the Chinese, the Japanese, or Abyssinians, or Ashantees, were occupants of what now is , Turkey in• Europe, and from a consciousness of what their own interest, well understood, must suggest to them, were as little disposed as the Turks to attack or disturb their unoffending neighbours, we. should feel just as anxious to save them from being overrun and subdued by .Russia, as we now arc to protect the Porte .from the same calamity. BUt . few persons would be uncandid enough, and few candid ones sufficiently stupid, to construe sudi a jealousy of Ituian conquest into A belief that the - existence of " Abyssinia in Europe,". 43r of ‘‘ Ashantee in Europe," was necessary to the balance of power. The security of any. ,bat , barous, though innoxious - people, frthn a certall and specific danger, does surely not imply that their perpetual existence in a given spot is air equally necessary matter. The true meanin z hi .be imputed to Ministers is, not that Turk(":i must 'always be where slit is ; but that Ittissia must never be there, except bh Conditions yet likely to be listened to. In othe'r atOrW,,, that the balance of power forbids the coiloe4 of Turkey by a particular enemy at this partictid lar time—not its eternal duration as an Et:relic:lu State. At the same time it is pOssible, and perhaps desirable, that Turkey may one day be expelled from Christendom, without the agency of Russia, and without adding dan gerously to Itussian power. We arts iti dined to think that TUtkey, if not enlightened and civilized, may be destroyttl from with , in,—that, from the impulse given Greeeci the Christian subjects of the Seraglio may, b; fore a single generation expires, every where eotif federate against that obdurate and Lim:tura despotism,—that the revival of an independent Greek empire may one day, with the assent of a preponderancy of European nations, supersede the Crescent, while it frustrates the ambition of the Czar. But it is alike just for "Epsilon" and " Upsilon" to . acknowledge, that a .Man may deprecate the immediate conquest of Turkey by one specific military power, without being fiiirly accused of desiring that Turkey herself always form a member of the European world: . It is true that the .policy of England atttl o! other Governments has - had, as described by tier Duke of Wellington, the maintenance of Turkey for one of its essential objects; but it was not for the sake of Turkey,—it was , as a licit f;hift, to avoid the worse alternative .of an overigroAii :nits still encroaching power. Under these impre:-,-: sions, we still find reason to be satisfied that thy reverses recently experienced by Russia arc proved by private letters to be far more grave than lice fallacious bulletins have admitted ; and that hi therto her operations of this campaign have been more imbecile and unsuceessfid than those of the year preceding.— Times. There has been for sonic time at licad-quat' , tors an obvious indisposition to take, ny step likely to afford an opportunity for calling forth a display of popular feeling in Ireland; but in some cases, the course of natural, in others the. course of political events, seems determined to counteract this Ministerial antipathy to agitation, The number of vacancies in the Representation of Ireland at this moment is probably without a parallel, except in the case of a General Eleca tion, and it does so happen that the various on. represented counties and cities are all of the first order. Clare, a county of great extent, is about to experience the wholesome (may we venture so to call it ?) agitation of a contest. Down, generally placed at the head of the Irish coun- iies, has lost a llepicsentative by the appoint ment of Lord Castlereagh to the situation of a Lord of the Admiralty. Wicklow exhibits another vacancy; and the premature death of Sir Nicholas Coulthurst exposes Cork, the po pulous and commercial emporium of the South of Ireland, to the excitement which must result from a fierce and dubious struggle, more espe cially if, as is asserted, Mr. Callaghan is again to take the field as the champion of a defeated, but not disheartened, party. While the actual existence of vacancies in so many and such important districts necessarily tends to unsettle the minds of the rustic politicians (and in Ire land long habit has made every rustic a politi cian), the expectation of them prdducesin other quarters consequences perhaps more mischievous. It has been for some time perfectly understood that the great county of Galway is to send Mr. Daly from its representation to grace the Peer age ; and Louth is to lose the services of Mr. ster, by his elevation to the Judicial Bench _ _ of the Court of Exchequer. In Galway, the Catholic proprietary is by far more important and wealthy than in any other county in Ireland, while in Louth the successful struggle made at the last General Election, to redeem the Repre sentation from an hereditary domination, which had controuled it for the best part of a century, has given an impulse to political feeling which will assuredly make itself felt in the approaching contest. We are not among those who augur unfavourably from these demonst ra ti ons o f in- creased and increasing interest in passi►►g events. We hope and trust that the wise and healing measure of the last Session has deprived thcm of every thing that might, under other circum stances, have been dangerous. We would only warn the mercurial and warm-hearted population of Ireland to be upon their guard, and to avoid committing themselves.—Morning Chronicle. We copy in another column, from the Bubli3 Morning Register of Wednesday last, an count of a Meeting of a Society in Dublin, which has for object the improvement of he land. At that Meeting Mr. Leader, who is a great advocate for the establishment of some thing like colonies on the bogs of that country, alluded to us as unwilling to listen to any schemes of improvement, though they might not even come into collision with Poor Laws.— in the Chronicle of Wednesday last we inserted an extract from a Dublin Paper, requesting in , . formation respecting what are commonly called the Poor Colonies in Holland ; and we have re ceived a paper which appears to have been .c • thn ”nrir U r n printed, but not published,. containing some ac-

"outlier are informed that the queries were drawn up by Mr. Wilmot Horton, prior to his motion of the 4th of June, on the subject of the causes and remedies of pauperism ; a subject which, it appears, the House of Commons was very un willing to entertain. The gentleman who an swered the questions, we understand, was Major Moody, who had recently visited the Colonies for the Paupers of the kingdom of the Ne therlands, with the view of seeing how the working machinery of these Colonies could be made applicable to the employment in the new Colony at the Swan River of such redundant able-bodied paupers for whose labour there was no demand in parishes in England ; so that the Poor Rates may admit of being les sened at the same time the condition of the pauper may be improved. No steps, however, were taken in the formation of this plan, from Government determining to settle the Colony in question in a different manner. The publica tion of this paper will, we trust, be of consider able benefit to tile Irish gentlemen who wish to obtain accurate information respecting the Pau per Colonies. But Mr. Leader will find that Vtor Laws have more to do with Pauper Colo 4es than he is aware of. The establishments could not have been formed in Holland without the machinery of municipal obligations to main tain poor, and the command which the Govern ment and Legislature of the Netherlands have over the Communes, in consentine . to their levy ing taxes for the - poor in aid of the estates and l'etwds devot'::t to the maintenance of the poor. Many the municipalities were by no means ',oiling to enter into the views of Government with respect to these Colonies, and only yielded from the reason above alluded to. The purchase of lands, and outlay for establishing families, et. uld only have been met by enlisting in this way, 6on gre mcrl :4-re, the property of the country in the caet,. The expellee of establishing a family '"!A-en or eight individuals ill one of the poor .:olonies is about 1501. Major Moody says— " I can have no conception that, taken upon an extensive scale, the expellee of locating paupers cis colonists in Ireland could be effected for less than the expellee actually incurred in Holland," &c. Here we are met, in limine, with an in surmtintable difficulty ; for we take it for ruited, that subscriptions to such an amount as would purchase land for one small colony, ald meet the first outlay of the establishment, could not be obtained. There is a mighty la c___erelce between the disposition to be charitable of man who have a legal obligation suspended over the heaft tind who know that if they do not put hands in their pockets, the officers of the will, and men who, like Irish Squires, see charity unassociated with law. In some of the poorer districts of Scotland, for instance, there has been a sort of understanding between the Minister and the Landholders, that, to avoid asnnments for the poor, the matter should lit managed by contributions. But there is always a secret understanding that if any landholder does not do his duty, the law will be resorted to. But an Irish landholder may consume his revenues in London, Paris, or Naples, and treat with indifference all appeals to his feelings with regard to the poor. Human nature is the same in Ireland that it is in Scot land. There is no disposition on the patt of the Scotch to expend money on the poor ; but a Scotch landlord is reduced , to terms by the law, and forced to contribute either voluntary or in 'voluntarily to the support of the necessitous. It would, indeed, be madness to attempt pauper cdoilies in Ireland, except on a general plan, prtly of charity, and partly of police supported by Government. In Holland it is by no means an isolated scheme. Hear what Major Moody says :—" There arc colonies supported by funds • sent from municipal, rural, and charitable bodies, who pay a certain sum to the Benevolent Society annually ; and if a person sent by any of these bodies shall die, or leave the colony, that body would have the power of sending another pauper. These persons are free to quit the colony at any time, upon an arrangement between the paupers, the body by which they were sent, and the Bene volent Society. There arc other colonies for the re ception of pauper orphans, who, of course, remain under the discipline of pupilage, and cannot be en titled to unrestricted freedom until they come of age. There arc other colonies, designated as • having for their object the repression of men dicity, which is considered by the law of Hol land a misdemeanour, rendering the mendicant amenable to law. In this class of colonies, the persons are coerced to work, as on board the British hulks ; and if a person in one of the free colonies misconducts himself, he may lose the benefit of residing in a free colony, and be sent to one of the colonies of this last descrip-, tion. There is another colony at Wateren, solely for the reception of the ablest young men who had been brought up at the Orphan Establishment, previous to their entering into the world, when their connection with the So ciety ceases ; and at Wateren their education is carried much farther than in the Orphan Schools." Here we see a regular whole, of which the different parts support each other. We have a legal obligation to support the poor—a punishment of mendicity—and the command over the Colonists which the knowledge that miscon duct will place them in a situation in which they will be coerced necessarily gives. The Communes have an interest in keeping down the numbers of the paupers, the burden of which presses with great severity on them, and the coercive laws against mendicity enable them to extract as they can from the paupers. But in Ireland, a pauper colony, unaided by Poor Laws, would afford no check on the multiplica tion of paupers—would not extinguish men dicity, and would afford the proprietors no means of enforcing obedience to their rules and regulations. It would merely enable a few be nevolent individuals to put a little money into the pockets of one or two of the proprietors of bogs, and to show the world that there are Irish men who have no objection to labour, on the condition of being well fed—an experiment which has been often enough made already. But before engaging in any schemes of pauper colonies, it would be well to reflect on what Mr. Moody says with respect to the young men brought up in the colonies. The farmers will net employ them, because they have not been accustomed to the usual farming work. The Colonies, therefore, become a sort of nation within a nation, with a system of their own. It is too much the way with our mole-like Legisla tors to view a matter only in one of its aspects, and hence we are constantly witnessing partial and consequently abortive attempts in matters of domestic economy and police. The Irish landlords, who dread the establishment of Poor Laws, would he, .very well pleased to encourage any sc h e thd ; of 4 pitiper . colonies, a s a sort of t u b t o . the Whale, t 4 while occupied with it a compre hetiiive, schen, ..

Lord TENTERDEN handed to Mr. Le Blanc, the Master, his Majesty's warrant, authorizing two or more of the Judges to sit after term bunco. It appointed the sittings to be held from Thursday, the 9th, to 'Saturday, the 1I th of July ; from Monday, the 20th, to Friday, the 24th of July ; and from Tuesday, the 27th of October, to Thursday, the sth of November. The war►ant having been read, Lord TENTERDEN stated to the bar that he should so arrange the business of the Nisi Prius, as to sit at Westminster while the other Judges were sitting in the Bail Cou► t. foundation. My Lords, under these circumstances, I move for a rule to show cause why Mr. Bell should not have a criminal information filed against him for this libel. I will just observe the ingenuity of the libeller. He puts the language into the mouths of the Lord Chancellor's friends : he says that the Lord Chancellor's friends rescue hin► from the imputation, by saying it was the fault of Lady Lyndhurst.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price current of yesterday.) SUGAR..—There has been quite a stagnation in the Sugar Market this week; the buyers declining to pur- ' chase, under the idea that as the imports are so extensive, a fall in the price must necessarily take place ; the holders are, however, firm, and do not appear inclined to force sales by submitting to any further reduction in the prices. The Refined Market has been very steady all the week; the scarcity of goods prevents any reduction in the prices, but the trade is still very languid, and the purchases both for export and for home consumption on the most limited scale. Molasses dull and lower. WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—In West India Molasses there is no alteration. The late sales are quite inconsiderable. FOREIGN.—The only sale of Foreign Sugar reported is 300 chests yellow Havannah, 28s. a 325. EAST INDIA SUGARS.—The sales of Mauritius brought forward this week, including to-day's sales, are about 19,000 bags; the great proportion have been of indifferent quality, and they sold heavily at a reduction of about Is. per cwt. This day's sales went off apparently with more firmness. Beans. 37.1 a l 35s 0 305 tki THE KING V. BELL. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I am to trouble your Lordships with a motion, which I must introduce by observing th.tt I cannot make an application of this sort to the Court without expressing a degree of concern and humiliation at the state to which the press in this country is reduced. I apply to your Lordships for leave to file a criminal information against Robert Bell, the editor of a newspaper called the Atlas. My instructions are from the same eminent person on whose. behalf I applied to your Lordships on the first day of term. I have the affidavits of the Lord Chancellor, and several other affidavits, which I wish to state, that your Lordships may see in what manner an attempt is made to de stroy the character of an individual who, notwith standing his etninent station, is attacked by the meanest of mankind in a way that, at former periods of our history, would not have been endured; and I beg to state, that in making this motion, I comply with the express desire of the Noble Lord, who prefers this mode of proceeding, as it gives him the op portunity of vindicating himself from the most atroci ous charges that he has recently learnt have been circu lated against him with a perseverance and assiduity that have no parallel in the history of calumny. I will now read the paragraph. It is published in a paper called the Atlas, and it runs in this form : ferred to, appeared either previously to its publica tion, or subsequently, until it nas shown to him by Mr. Lewis Allsopp Lowdham, of Lincoln's-inn-fields, attorney at law, as hereinafter mentioned. Saith, that on Monday, the 22d of June instant, he was called upon, in Beaufort-buildings aforesaid, by said Mr. Lowdhatn, who informed deponent, that he applied to him as one of the proprietors of the above newspaper, in consequence of a paragraph which had appeared therein on Sunday, the 14th instant, reflecting on the character of the Lord High Chancellor, to require that deponent would give up to him, said Mr. Lowdham, the name of the author of such paragraph. Saith, that he immediately, mad before said paragraph was shown to him, informed the said Mr. Lowd ham, as the fact was, that he was till that moment unconscious that any paragraph of such a nature had appeared in such paper, and that if any such had ap peared therein, it had been inserted without his knowledge, privity, or consent, and deponent ex pressed, as he felt, great regret, if such was the ease, that any such paragraph should have been in serted. Saith that said Mr. Lowdham then pro duced to deponent said paper, and the paragraph to which said Mr. Lowdham alluded, commencing with the words " There were rumours," and ending with the words " car► be ascertained ;" and deponent produced to said Mr. Lowdham one of said papers The following are the affidavits referred to by the Attorney-General : AFFIDAVIT OF JOHN SINGLETON, BARON LYND HURST, LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR OF GREAT BRI- THIN, SWORN JUNE, 1829. Said), that on the 20th day of this present month he for the first time saw and perused a certain para graph, contained in a Newspaper called the Atlas, a general Newspaper and Journal of Literature, pub lished on Sunday the 14th day of this present mouth of June, which is as follows : " There were rumours in the highest political circles last night, that a certain Noble Lord, holding a station of vast responsibility, and who is said to be on terms of dis agreement with another of his Majesty's advisers, has been charged with bartering ecclesiastical livings. His Lord ship's friends do not believe the imputation, and repel it strongly, while they intimate that the dealings in the wages of clerical advancement have been transacted by his lady, without his Lordship's knowledge. By slow and painful degrees the secrets of State come out. Such is the nature of the human disposition, that differences and quar rels are much sooner reported abroad than the causes of them. The disgrace of losing office is known at least a week before the reason of dismissal can be ascertained." !, MARKEL—May 23. Oatmeal at to-day's marke t ' reduction of Is. on the EDINBURGH MEA We had a small supply of which sold heavily, and at a price. Per Sack of 2901 b. Imp. First Oatmeal lt 3 0 Second ditto 2 0 0 Barleymeal 1 14 0 Peasemeal 1 10 0, Pot Barley—No. I; per cwt. 14: COFFEE —There is little variation in Coffee this week ; saiall parcels of Demerara, Berbice, and Dominica Coffee have sold in several instances on lower terms, but no ge neral reduction can be stated ; a large parcel of good ordi nary pale St. Domingo was withdrawn from public sale yesterday, at 355., and since reported to be sold at 34e. 6d. There were no public sales. of Coffee this forenoon, and no purchases by private contract are reported. The Market is steady. RCM, BRANDY, AND Hocuaans.—The purchases of Rum, by private contract, are reported to be parcels of fine Jamaica, and of a favourite mark, taken for home consumption at 3s. 9d., 24 over sold at 2s. Bd., 17 over at 2s. 64., and considerable parcels of Leewards of good quality, 1 and 2 over, at 2s. The public sale of Tues day, 224 puns. Demerara, a small part proof and a little over, taken in at ls. 11d., 3 to 8 over sold 2s. a 2s. Id., B 3 to 25 over taken in at 2s. 6d. a 2s. Bd. In Brandy or Geneva there is no alteration. The late pri vate contracts for the best marks of Ruin taken for home consumption, first marks about 4s. 3d., second at 4s. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow Market has been very steady all the week. In Hemp and Flax the purchases are inconsiderable, and in the prices there is little variation. Hoes. —The accounts from the Hop plantations con tinue very unfavourable ; they state the plant looks more healthy on account of the late rains, but the vermin have increased greatly ; there is no alteration in the currency. The estimated duty is 55,0001. Ittniso.—The failure of a house of some eminence at Liverpool (the principal employed in conducting the ex tensive speculation we have so often alluded to) appears to have had a favourable effect on the market, as it is stated that it is now certain that the great proportion of the Indigo held by speculators are in hands that are deter mined to hold for higher prices, and that the Indigo is already paid for.

(7.)- MEMORANDUM OP EARL WINCHILSEA. " March 19. " Whether I may determine to give an explanation of my letter published in the Standard on Monday la,t, will depend upon the correctness of my belief that I had grounds for the opinions complained of by the Noble Duke as therein expressed. " I am ready to allow that I was mistaken in my view of the Noble Duke's conduct, as expressed in my public letter to Mr. Coleridge, on the 14th instant, and to state my regret at having so expressed it, provided the Noble Duke will state on his part that at the time he came for • ward to preside at the meeting for the establishment of King's College, London, he did not contemplate the measures which are now in progress for Roman Catholic Emanci pation —or, to use Dlr. Peel's words, for breaking in upon the Constitution of 1688 ;' but without some state ment to that effect from the Noble Duke, I cannot with draw the expressions contained in the above letter. (Signed) " WINCHILSEA.” (8.)---MEMORANDUM OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. "London, March 20, 1829, in the Morning. '" sir Henry Hardinge has read me a memorandum written by Lord Winchilsea, and delivered to him by Lord Fabnouth, from which it appears that his Lordship is anxious that I should justify myself from the charges against me contained in his Lordship's address to Mr. Coleridge, published in the Standard newspaper. " I may lament that a Nobleman for whom I feel the highest respect, entertiins a bad opinion of me. But I don't complain as long as that opinion is not brought be fore me. " I cannot admit that any man has a right to call me before him to justify myself from the charges which his fancy may suggest. " That of which I complain is, that the Earl of Win - chilsea and Nottingham should have published an opinion that I was actuated by disgraceful and criminal motives in a certain transaction which took place nearly a year ago. " His Lordship, unprovoked, has insulted me by stat ing in writing, and authorising the publication of this opinion. For this insult I believed, and am not willing to part with the belief, that his Lordship will be anxious to give me reparation. DUEL BETWEEN THE DUKE OF WEL LINGTON AND THE EARL OF WINCHILSEA. [Txu FOLLOWING LETTERS WERE INSERTED IN PART OF OUR IMPRESSION OF SATURDAY:I Li order to make the subject referred to in the subjoined correspondence perfectly intelligible, we preface it by extracts from a letter addressed by Lord WINCHILSEA to Mr. COLERIDGE, Secretary to the Committee for Establishing the King's College, London, dated March 14, 1829 : " I was one of those who, at first, thought the proposed plan might be practicable, and prove an antidote to the principles of the London University; I was not, however, very sanguine in my expectations, seeing many difficulties likely to arise in the execution of the suggested arrangement; and I confess that I felt rather doubtful as to the sincerity of the motives which had actuated some of the prime movers in this undertaking, when I considered that the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government had been induced, on this occasion, to assume a new character, and to step forward himself as the public advocate of reli gion and morality. " Late political events have convinced me that the whole transaction was intended as a blind to the Pro testant and High Church party, that the Noble Duke, whe had for some time previous to that period determined upon breaking in upon the Constitution of 1688,' might the more effectually, under the cloak of some outward show of zeal for the Protestant religion, carry on his insidious de signs for the imfringement of our liberties, and the intro duction of Popery into every depat tment of the State."

"My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Grace's letter of the 16th instant, and I beg to inform you, that the letter addressed to H. N. Coleridge, Esq., was inserted in the Standard by my authority. As I had publicly given my approbation and sanction to the establishment of the King's College, London, last year, by his Grace the Duke of Wellington becoming a subscriber to it, I thought it incumbent upon me, in withdrawing my name, also publicly to state my reasons for so doing. _ - "I have, &c, (Signed) "WINCHILSEA and NOTTINGHAM." (5.)-FROM THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TO THE EARL OF WINCHILSEA. " Londan, March 19, 1829. "My Lord,—l have had the honour of receiving your Lordship's letters of the 19th instant. " Your Lordship is certainly the best judge of the mode to be adopted of withdrawing your name from the list of subscribers to the King's College. " In doing so, however, it does not appear necessary to impute to me, in no measured terms, disgraceful and cri minal motives for my conduct in the part which I took in the establishment of the College. " No man has a right, whether in public or in private, by speech or in writing, or in print, to insult another by attributing to him motives for his conduct, public or private, which disgrace or criminate him. " If a Gentleman commits such an act indiscreetly, in the heat of debate, or in a moment of party violence, he is always ready to make reparation to him whom he may thus have injured. " I am convinced that your Lordship will, upon reflec tion, be anxious to relieve yourself from the pain of having thus insulted a man who never injured or offended you. " I have, &c. ( Signed ) " WELLINGTON." " The Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham." Sir Henry Hardinge delivered the letter No. 5 to the Earl of Winchilsea, and was referred by his Lordship to the Earl of Falmouth. The following memorandum, No 6, contains the substance of the communication made by Sir Henry Hardinge to Lord Fahnouth : (6.)—SIEMORANDUM OF SIR H. lIARDINGE. " March 19, Eight o'clock Evening. " Lord Falmouth having expressed a desire to know the extent of reparation that would be expected, two suggestions of what appeared to Sir Henry Har dinge to be the most natural mode of reparation were drawn out upon the distinct understanding that they were not made with a view to confine Lord Win cbilsea's explanation either as to the terms or manner therein stated—but as suggestions as to the course which might be pursued in bringing the matter to a satisfactory conclusion. . " Su. Henry Hardinge, therefore, on the part of the Duke of Wellington, expects one of the two following alternatives : _ " Either that Lord Winchilsea should forthwith write to the Secretary of the King's Coflege and express his de•• sire to withdraw his public letter, as one which attributed motives highly offensive to the Duke of Wellington, and stating also that upon reflection he was not justified in at tributing such motives to his Grace, and therefore ex presses his regret at having done so : Or, " That Lord Winchilsea should write directly to the Duke of Wellington himself, and make the same acknow ledgments to his Grace, with a similar expression of his regret for having attributed motives highly offensive to his G rac e, relatinc , to the occasion of his Grace having pre sided at the Meeting of the King's College in last— [" Which motives he is now sensible he was net justi fied in imputing to his Grate."4l " In either case it is expected that a letter, so written, " Friday Morning, March t o.—The paragraph within c rotchets 1] Was not d es i re d to be retaine d , i n t h e last interview with Lord Falmouth, last night.

"In the Memorandum of the Duke of Wellington, his Grace states that his cause of complaint is in the publica tion of opinions highly offensive to him.

I had then to find Lord Wiuchilsea—all which I mention in excuse for delay, in case you should think it of importance ; but I apprehend that after an arrangement made before five o'clock this afternoon, his Grace's letter to Lord Winchilsea, calling upon him for satisfaction in the usual way, was meant merely as a customary form on such occasions.

His Lordship was 67 years a Captain in the Navy, having received his Post rank at the siege of Havannah in 1762. His Lord. ship's name in 1793 disappeared from the Navy List, on being appointed a Commissioner of Excise; but within the last five years had been replaced among the Retired Captains. His Lordship, when in command of the Charon of 44 guns, in 1779, with a small force, suddenly attacked and carried the strong Spanish fortress of St. Fernando de Omos, in which were found 250 quintals of quicksilver and three millions of dollars. It was on this occasion that the following circumstance occurred of a sailer, who singly scramb'ed over the wall of the foi t, with a cutlass in each hand. Thus equipped he fell in with a Spanish officer just rowed from sleep, and who, in the hurry and confusion, had forgotten his sword. The tar, disdaining to take advantage of an unarmed foe, and willing to display his courage in sinLle combat, presented the officer with one of the cutlasses, telling him " he scorned any advantage ; you arc now on a footing with me." The astonishment of the officer, at such an act of generosity, and the facility with which a friendly parley took place, when he expected nothing else but (from the hostile appearance of the foe) to be cut to pieces, could only be rivalled by the admiration which his relating the story excited in his countrymen. Upon this circumstance being mentioned to Sir PETER PARKER, at the return of the squadron, he appointed the intrepid fellow to be boat swain of a sloop-of-war. A few years after, either in a fit of madness or intoxication, he forgot his situation, and struck the Lieutenant of the Ferret sloop-of-war, for which he was tried by a court-martial, condemned to suffer death, and executed... Hampshire Telegraph, THE CRIMINAO ORDERED FOR EXECUTION. Charles Goodlad, who 422 years of age, was tried for robbing his master, Mr. Arthur Geddes, a merchant, of No. 6, Staff rd-row, Buckingham-gate, of different articles of plate. The prisoner was in Mr. Geddei's ser vice as footman, where he was engaged on the 19th of Novem ber. On the 22d of December Mr. Geddes I•ad a party to dinner at two o'clock, and the prisoner had received directions to have the table laid by that hour. At half past owe he went into the kitchen, took some lunch, and then, taking up a pitcher, said he wanted to go and obtain some water for the cook. Shortly after he left the house, lie put the pitcher dower at Buckingham -gate, and made all the haste he could into the park, going in the direction from Stafford-row. Immediately after, the plate above mentioned, which cost Mr. Geddes 1701., was missed. The prisoner was apprehended by Taunton, the Bow street officer, on the 2d of February, at Southwell, in Nottinghamshire. Taunton asked him what made him leave Mr. Geddes's situation, but he made no reply. He was then asked who gave him a character to get Mr. Geddes's situation ? He replied, that lie got acquainted with some person in London, who persuaded him to get a written character, which he sent to his mother at Haverill, near Chesterfield, and his mother sent it to Mr. Geddes. He said, that he had sold the clothes which he took away from Mr. Geddes's house. He then alluded to a charge of horse-stealing which had been preferred against him, and said he thought he should he hanged if he were taken up fer Mr. Geddes's robbery. After the Jury had pro nounced the verdict of guilty, the prisoner was recom mended to mercy by the prosecutor, on account of the aversion he bad to take away human life, except for mur der and treason, and believing, from inquiries lie had made, that the prisoner had very bad parents. Thomas Birmingham, aged 21, Joseph Redgard, aged' 23, and William Kelly, aged 21, were indicted, with Thomas Langham, for robbing George Monro, on the King's highway, of a watch, chain, seals, and key, value 50/. The prosecutor, Mr. George Monro, who is a gen tleman, and had been in the army, resides at Kirby-street, Hatton-garden. On the night of the 18th of January, about half-past twelve or one o'clock, he was coming home from the King's Arms public-house, Leadenhall street, where he had been dining and spending the even ing with some friends, and although, he said, he had taken a few tumblers of punch, he was perfectly capable of taking care of himself. When lie got nearly opposite Fleet-market, the prisoner and another man followed him. They affected to be in liquor, and took bold of the prosecutor's arm. They followed him from Fleet-market into Kirby-street, where they surrounded him, and one of them knocked him down by a blow on the chest. Some of the gang then held him down while the others robbed him of his watch, Ecc., and they all, ex cept Langham, ran away. Although the prosecutor and the other witnesses swore to Langham being one of the party who committed the robbery, the Jury considered that his not running away was strong evidence of his in nocence, and he was acquitted. On Wednesday night, when the report arrived at New.. gate, the dreadful intelligence was immediately commu nicated to the wretched men. Goodlad did not express the least surprise, and said it was what he expected ; since that time, however, he has been afflicted with fits, and has been bled several times. Birmingham, when informed of his fate, said that his life had been sworn away, and call, d out to his com panions, " What's the use of fretting ? If we are to be hanged, why we can only die once." lie has, however, become greatly altered since that time; has confessed having been concerned in several other robberies, and ex pressed his surprise that he has so long escaped punish merit. Lie was on Saturday visited by his father : the poor old man bitterly lamented the sad end of his son, and said, " Now, I have nothing to do but to chuck myself into the grave !" Birmingham and his two companions have, for a long time, formed part of what was called the " Field-lane gang ;" and, according to Birmingham's con fession, they have been engaged in several daring robberies. IRELAND. (From a Correspondent of the Times.) DUBLIN, MARCH 17.—Your readers will judge by the tone of the meeting held yesterday at the Corn Exchange, on the subject of the measure now before Parliament, of the grateful disposition of the people of Ireland in respect to the Bills now before Parliament. The meeting consisted indiscriini nately of Protestants and Catholics. The chair was occupied by a Protestant, one of the best and most virtuous men in this city,—John David Latenche. The proceedings began by the speech of a Protes tant gentleman, Mr. Leader: the proposition of this gentleman was supported by a Protestant, Mr. Guthrie; Mr. Conway, the secretary:of the meeting, is a Protestant ; and the gentleman voted into the chair after Mr. Latouche vacated it, is also a Pro testant—Mr. Napier, brother of Colonel Napier, author of the History of the War in the Peninsula, and cousin-german of the Duke of Leinster. A moiety of the speakers were Protestants, and the meeting was altogether what it purported to be— not a Catholic meeting, but an assembly of the friends of civil and religious liberty. By the terms of the requisition, the proceedings of the meeting were confined to a consideration of the Franchise Qualification Bill, thus excluding the principal measure altogether from consideration.— You will not infer, however, that there Was, or in deed that there could be, unanimity on all the parts of the Emancipation Bill; but it was acknowledged by every one who spoke, that the measure was all to nothing the best ever offered to the people of Ireland,—that it surpassed their most sanguine expec tations; and accordingly you, to whom this country owes so much,—you, who take such an energetic and effective part in her concerns,—you, who have manifested such a lively interest in our pro ceedings, will be delighted when you perceive, for the first time in a meeting of this kind, a vote of thanks to the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Peel, and the rest of the Ministers. This vote, which was passed unanimously and amid loud acclamations, will, I should suppose, prove not ungrateful to the personages immediately concerned : it is more important, however, as a manifestation of opinion to the country. It will operate completely as a sedative to any rising spirit of discontent or dis satisfaction which might have exhibited itself in the interior—a spirit, certainly, which mischievous men would not find it difficult to excite on the freehold. question ; and it may be taken finally as a pledg•e„ that those very men who have roused and wielded the passions of the people for the last six years in the pursuit of a legitimate and most necessary •oh•. ject, now that they are upon the point of accom plishing the end of all their labours, will exercise the same influence, and I verily believe with the same success, in repressing popular ebullition, and stabilitating, if I may be allowed so to ex press myself, the present unexampled and al most miraculous tranquillity, which, in spito of the incitements of the Brunswickers and their press, prevails in every county of the island. I in tended to give you a short statement of the pro. ceedi ngs, as far as they have already gone, of the Assizes ; but, on looking through the Irish pro t osti‘‘ l, :‘ ' ehf i oie n eert t e lt ilhcaiuonaorentl are without is t tne i yo a vatmlr p isrytt e oieh: r fioh fi nlt , oit ,cetefio a arri l itetill i tiel d ssen:ttel:i tsitt O goi co l nfec n rgyloo e r, oiacmi eulteriergerot collect rh e a: e r apap s a daaal w Ailperymtr h esskro i s: c sivis: h i di l sTei:.:oh h ; tilem a eur NT : ye,,% - it, e oor apur a tuliaat i lmhr i ;t o io;iii p iso;:crtet - if, and seditious trash, which the law-officers of the Crown might, under other circumstances, be obliged to notice ; but which, us it only excites derision here, is certainly not worth the trouble of punishing. In no one branch of Science is there a more decided advance towards perfection, than in Vegetable Chemistry, and of the many inestimable discoveries of the present day, we believe there is none which surpasses the condensed preparation called Sulphate of Quinine, which, as a Tonic, Dr. JohNsoN observes, ', must shortly super sede all others." Many gratifying instances, of important t'enefit, derived from the short use only of HUGHES'S Quinine Pills, in consumptive affections of every stage, and extreme general debility, are now too Ivell attested to admit of any doubt. We feel, therefore, sincere pleasure in directing the attention of Invalids to this important combination of Vegetable Properties. We would add, that she discovery of•this invaluable Specific affords yet another proof, if more were wanting, of the inexhaustible resources of the Vegetable Kingdom, and would operate we should trust, to the encouragement of additional exertion alike in the field of nature by the Botanist, and in the Laboratory of Medical Science by the Chemist, This day was published, in 2 vols. post Bvo. with Map and Engravings, I j ET'rERS FROM THE JEGEAN, By JAMES EMERSON, Esq.

SVIIRrit tOUNTY hiEETINO. MR. HENRY HUNT'S SPEECH CONCLUDED FROM OUR PAPER OF SATURDAY. (Here a person in the crowd cried out you are going to de fend Popery, which is as black as your blacking). Mr. Hunt said, he had come to the meeting fur the purpose of puffing his blacking, but he was very much obliged to the gentleman who had done so for him.—(Loud laughter.)— Such exclamations might be useful to him in the sale of his bl icking, and he thanked the gentleman for his kind ness. hut he did not think that they would answer the purpose of argument, for those who might differ with him. The cries of No Popery were fast dying away; in days not long gone by, it was the fashion in a high quarter, when his present Majesty was in certain convivial society, to drink as a standing, toast, " May God protect us from Popery, slavery, brass meney, and wooden shoes ;" lat terly they heard little of brass money and wooden shoes, and even slavery was little talked of, but the cry of No Papery was still occasionally heard ; but even this rein nant of liberal fashion would, he hoped, he soon forgotten, not that lie wished to prevent Popery, but because in his heart he believed that those who raised the cry did it for sinister purposes. Aceordine to his notion of Po pery, as resisted by our ancestors, it consisted in the possession of monasteries, tithes, and other church pro perty—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear,")—and she did not owe the annihilation, er rather the transfer, of that property from one set of men to another to the spit it of liberty, but to the circumstance of Henry the Eighth failing to get the sanction of the Pope to his third or fourth mar riage ; a cry was then raised, as at present, that the Church was in danger, but at present at least it was only the tithes were in danger. Ile agreed with those who stated the • Catholic Monarchy had an eye to the tithes.— (Cheers.) —This he had upon the authority of Doctor Doyle, and he never yet met a Catholic who did not appear to thick so.—(Here there was some uproar.)—Mr. Hunt said it was very difficult to please those gentlemen who were not pleased with feats, even when they bore upon their own side of the question—(Great laughter)—but whilst he stated that the Catholics wished to obtain power, and whilst he as sincerely wished to prevent them, he must at the mime time say, that in the time of the Catholics tithes were differently a pportioned from the manner in which they were at present..--(Cheers, and uproar. )—At that time one third of the tittles were given for the support of the Clergy, one-third for the repair* of the Church, and one-third for the relief of the poor. If this appropriation of tithes took place at present, the freeholders of Surrey, as well es those of all Engl ,nd, would be relieved from poor-rates and other t ixes who h premised heavily upon thein—(Cheers.)— lme was no etterny to poor rates, but he wished to see them paid out of the tithes.—(Uproar and cheers.)—There was tememotbject on which he agreed with Mr. tlownall—namely, that the petitions of the pe pie of England did not receive due attention in the House of Commons—fjoud cheers) --and he was sure if the opinions of the people of England were regarded, that many of the abuses which Haw existed would he r e moved.—(Cheers.) —He was willing to a cknowledge that the feelings of the people of Etigletel were hostile to Catholic Emsucip ition ; but they were eye die opposed to the measures which had been carried in Psrliaineut. No man regretted more than he did to see time opinions of the people of England there gerded, but he always eapeeted to see such treatment whilst Parliament succeeded in preeenting a Reform.—(Loud cheers and uproar. )—For his part he thought it a mockery to petition the House of Commons he should recommend n petition to the Lords—(Lotel cheers)—and another to time Throne.—(Cheers.) —He should be sorry ever to ire the people of England petition a House which treated their petitions with sc oro,......(Cheers.)—They might peti tion the King and the House of Lords if they wished, but they should not have called it this petition of the un dersigned ; they ought rather to call it the petition of the county of Surrey, if it should be agreed to.—(Cries of No, no !) He had no objection to their sending it to the Cora mous, if it could be presented in time ; but before it could lie presented, the Bill would he pelmet! through the Coin • mons.—(Hear, and cries of No, no i) He coin sided with a great deal that was in the petition, and would therefore oto ve a resolution to be added to it.—(Hear. )—He had come to the meeting without a single soul to assist him, and therefore he had no one to [second his resolution. He was addressing his brother freehold , rs, and if they approved a the resolution some one of them woat'd eecond it, and it would be put to the meeting. If they disappeeved of it of course it would be rejected. (Mr. Hunt here read the following resolution, which wee received with loud cheers and a great deal of laughter. Several persons cried out that the resolution was excellent, admiaable.) It was to the following effect : AA ReSOIV2&•-•-Tilat it is the opinion of this meeting that it is in vain for the people to petition the House of Commons its it is at present constituted, as the Members of that House do not represent the voice and feelings of the majority of tie people." He had only one word more to say on this subject. They said that lee come in no dieguiee,--He thought the people of England had bean treated most infamously.---e(Greet c beers. ) —He might be wrong, but that was his opinion, and there, fere be thought it right to clap that resolution to the heels of a petition to the King and the House of Lords.—(Roars of Laughter for several minutes.)--Mr. Hunt here paused fur some moraeuts, in the hope that awe one would second the petition. One Gentleman did so, but on being questioned, O mitted that he was not a freeholder. The t asolution was then seeonded by a gentleman free holder in a remote part of the meeting, but we believe Mr. Hunt was not aware of the fact. Mr. LEACH then rose mai said, that he attended from the very lowi part of the county, because he c onsidered the petition to he presented to be of the utmost importance to the country. Before he pro ceeded farther, be would state clearly to the meeting, that he was decidedly opposed to the Catholic religion.— (Cheers.)--reet the Protestant Establishment beere fair play, and by the force of reason it would hear the Ro man Catholic religion down at once.—(Great cheering.) —Many of the greatest men the country ever produced were of this opinion, and ix accordance with it he thought that the presen t Bill would secure and mate the Protestant E s tablishment much mva firm than ever.—(Great confusion, and naarka of dieapprobete'on.)— That was his opinion, but the meeting were perfectly at liberty to entertain theirs. He came there to do duty, others did the same, and he hoped they would all vote as they considered for the benefit of the United Kingdom.— Many g: eat men had supported the cause of Catholic Eman cipation, and they had now a Prime Minister—(hisses) —and Peel--(biases)—these two dastaogoielied individuals were last year as much opposed to Catholie gmaacipation as some of those who disapproved of what lie was 3.7.ying, hat the Duke now saw that there was a necessity for Ocal reeeiou, in order to prevent the risk of a rebellion in Ire land.—(Disapprebation and uproar,)—They might all vote as they pleased, but they would moat oblige him if they would only hear what lie had to say.-o-e(Laughter.) Of all nations in the world, the people of shi r t !paltry were the most firm sod honest--(great cheering) , -414 lie was sure they would submit to nothing which would weaken the Protestant .Eatablisliment. He would only suppose for a moment that a Roinan Catholic Priesthood were set over them—would they submit to it ?—(Cries of " no, sea," and cheers.)—What he would ask, were the meaaores now proposed ? The peopl e s pf Ireland are five-see - entlis of them Roman Catholics, and they wished to be repewented in the House of Coto nous by some of their own body. He would suppose that ono hundred of them got into the House of Co mops--what were a hundred Cathodes against five hundred Protestants ? (Just at this juncture, e.wo o'clock, Mr. Hunt's blaekirg van passed through the crowd With French horns playing, which excited a vast deal of amuse ment, and drew the whede attention of tl.e Meeting to the virtues of his matchless bleeking.

The duel which was fought, between the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord Wino-trims, on Saturday morning, was conducted with the greatestsetirecy. The Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir flEstay.liatturrecx (rb° acted as his second), met on the Parade,. in ,St.Jantelee Pink, about seven o'clock on Saturday morning. The weather being fine the Duke and Sir HENRY.

Pali" minaries being arranged between Lord FALMOUTH and Sir HENRY HARDING, the latter produced a pair of pistols, and loaded them in the presence of the parties ; be then handed them to Lord WINCHILSEA, who examined thew , and then returned them. Sir HENRY handed one to each of tile combatants, and measured the ground agreed on, twelve paces. L.4.rd WINcHILsIA re-measured the groubd, and the Duke and Lord WINCHILSEA took their station, and were informed by Sir HENRY there was nothing further to be done till he used the expression "ire." The seconds then retired, and Sir HENRY Ilanotriax gore. the word " fire." The Duke of WELLINGTON immediately discharged his pistol. The ball struck the lappet of Lord WiNctuLses.'s coat on the left side. Lord WilianmsicA then fired his pistol in the air, and the seconds rejoined their principals.—Morning Paper. JOSEPH IRONS, the dissenting parson, who has made himself so notoriously conspicuous by his violent and unchristian abuse of the Roman Catholics, had the hardihood to say, in the course of his discourse on Wed nesday evening, at the Welch chapel, in Jewin-street, that " those Protestant Dissenting Ministers who bad signed petitions in favour of Catholic Emancipation,. had taken the mark of the beast into their right hand.

The great Surrey Meeting, on which so much ,stress was laid by the Anti-Catholic party, took Place on Saturday last, at Epsom. It seems, by all accounts, to have occasioned little or no sensation, 'the country folks having far more important matters to arrange —it being market day in the neighbouring to wns —and feeling therefore little inclined to listen to the discussion of a question which interfered with the sale of their butter, eggs, and cheese. Among the speakers, Mr. HOLME SUMNER distinguished himself by his intemperate zeal and energy, which were great, exactly in proportion to his deficiency of argument. He warmly deprecated the idea of being " bullied into concession by a lawless rabble," by which phrase he meant, we presume, to designate the whole Catholic population of Ireland. If such be really the case, we can only express cur admire tk'a of the , more than mortal assurance that could l ave prompted such an expression—an expression delivered not in the beat of debate, but calmly and .4elilierateli on tile hustings of a County Meeting, the course of a dull speech, concocted pro . 6411 - 1 Y for at l east a f ortn i g h t b e f ore h an d.

Nu mber of the 15th January ha, an article occupying seven columns, which the writer states to have been sug gested by reading an article in a Journal called the Mala gueta, published at Rio; the apparent object is stated to be to prevent any interference of Brazil in the affairs of Por tugal, and under this pretext to attack the Emperor, the Minister, and chief Officers of State. and thus alienate the Nation from the G. vernment. The writer of this article then proceeds to chew at great length that no nation ever had a better opportunity of making itself respected abroad than Brazil now has by interfering in the affairs of Portugal, an interference to which it is called by honour, gratitude, and its own intertat. To those who are" desirous of seeing a wonder —a real bond fide wonder—we would earnestly recommend the Atlas newspaper of yesterday. Its Editor should be the King of Brobdignag. There are full three thick octavo volumes of intelligence in this unprecedented hebdomadal journal (whose merits should be estimated by the acre); and greatly delighted should we be to find ourselves in possession of a landed estate of such magnitude. A mansion large enough to contain all the patriotism of the Ultra Tories might be built upon the space it occupies when unfolded ; a new Bedlam might be erected on the site filled up by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S speech alone! In short, such a Paper was never before heard, seen, or thought of. Pray, in what year of futurity is it to be read through ?

HOUSE OF LORDS. The House a.t en Irish Appeals to-day The Lords present were the LORD CHANCELLOR, and Lords CLAREg- DON, and LIVERPOOL. The Bishop of WINCHESTER read prayers. O'REILLY V. FEATHERSTON. Mr. DANIEL READING attended from the:Court of Ex chequer of Ireland, to present papers in this appeal. In consequence of the late receipt of those papers, Counsel were not prepared to argue the case, and Mr. HoRNE asked that it might stand over till Monday next. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought he ought not to con sent to this, but suggested the placing of the appeal at the bottom of the paper. Mr. HORNE . and Mr. SUODEH trusted their Lordships would not adopt that course, but would appoint some early day. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after some discussion, said be would consider the subject further, and if with convenience to the House he could appoint an early day for the hearing he would do so, taking care to let the parties know what day that was. CARMICHASL V. WILSOX. This appeal was then called on, which involved several questions in the accounts of an executor, but the facts of the case were not of the slightest public importance. It appeared by the statements of Mr. PEPYS, who was Coun sel for the appellant, that eighty-nine suits in law and equity had been instituted in this case in Courts in Ireland, out of which had arisen_ sixty-four bills of costa. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. EX-PARTE ELSEE IN RE JOYNER. Mr. BICKERS/$M said, his Honour would recollect this was a bankrupt petition in the matter of the Rumford Bank, and the assignees now asked for an order of the Court, authorizing them to seize the furniture of Mr. Joyner, one of the bankrupts; the creditors had, at a meeting held some time after the bankruptcy, areed to let that gentleman retain it at a valuation, but subsequently some of them would not acquiesce in this arrangement, and insisted upon the assignees proceeding to public sale ; on their attempting to obtain possession of the furniture for such purpose, the bankrupt refused to give it up, and prevented them from so doing by force. _ _ Mr. Ron said be trusted - hi; Honour would not bear the petition at present, as Mr. Joyner, for whom he ap peared, had not bad time to answer the affidavits. After some further conversation the Vwx-CHANCELLOR directed the petition to stand over till the next day of petitions. _ _ A great number of petitions iverc postponed on ac count of the absence of Counsel. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, after the next Seal he would direct all cases, where the parties were not in at tendance at the time of their being called on, to be struck out of the paper. MAJORITY IN THE LORDS.—We have seen a letter ad'lresscd to R. P. M'DoswEr.r., Esq., by a Noble Marquis who is at present in London, arid has ac cess to the best sources of information, stating that the majority in the House of Lords in favour of the Duke of WELLING'roIes measure of relief, will be much greater than was anticipated. His Lordship says, "it will cer tainly be eighty, and I think may be much more."—Dublin Freeman's Journal. Sir HENRY HALFORD passed through this place a few days since to attend on the Marquis of CLEVE LAND, who has been seriously indisposed, at Borough bridge; but we arc happy to hear that his Lordship was, yesterday, considered something better,—Doncaster Goz. MANCHESIER CORN MARKET.—March 21. We have had a moderate dcinand for the best marks of Flour during the present week, with' very little inquiry for any sort of Grain or Malt. The attendance of buyers to this morning's market was rather small, with a moderate show of Foreign and Irish Wheat, for which the holders were demanding an advance of 4d. to 6d. per bushel ; - however, very few sales have been effected, and the currency is not more than 3d. above the 14th instant.

The supplies of Grain and Flour last week were moderate, and this morning there is not much Corn of any kinu fresh up. A few select parcels of Wheat have been taken off readily at rather higher prices, and there is a moderate sale of second qualities at the terms of this day se'imight, but any thing stale or inferior meets little or no alteration. The Barley trade is not so lively as last week, and no further improvement can be noticed in prices. Beans of tine qualities find sale at rather snore money, but other sorts are still dull Pease are unaltered. The trade for Oats is tolerably good for the bes qualities at last quotations, but other descriptions go off slowly, at no alteration in value. Flour meets a fair sale, at no variation in price.

The Open of I Itlessicani was represented at this Theatre, for the second time, on Saturday night. It was received with much sang-froid by the audience, and will, we shrewdly suspect, be soon consigned to the tomb of all the Capulets. The house was fully and fashionably at tended. DRURY-L ANE THEATRE. Miss PHILLIPS made her first appearance here on Satur day night in Comedy,—as the representative of Lady Townley, in the sterling play of the Provoked Husband. lifer chief defects were a want of vivacity and variety : she was chaste, and elegant, and correct throughout ; but still there was a livelessness, a measured correctness about her, that she must contrive wholly to rid herself of, before she can expect to make an impression in the light sparkling graces of comedy. Mr. YOUNG was the Lord Townley, and went through the part in his usual gentlemanly style of excellence. After the co medy a new farce, from the pen—so we were led to under stand—of Mr. C. DIBDIN, and entitled " All at Sixes and Sevens," was produced. The plot chiefly consisted in the whims of a young lady (Miss Lovx), who, though the daughter of a Hampshire farmer, has been blessed with a genteel education. She cuts her true lover, and agrees to ♦isit Gretna with Whirlton (JorrEs), who once had a for tune, but by mortgaging it without his guardian's consent, has forfeited it, under the provisions of his father's will : at the end of the first stage, however, the young lady is overtaken by her father (Lino/4), and by her senses, and the two united induce her to return to her home and her original lover. Meanwhile her Gretna companion is arrested and sent to the Bench, where, after a proper quantum of durance vile, he is released by his guardian's declaring that he had only insisted on his right, for the sake of giving his ward a salutary lesson, and is now willing to restore him to his property. The piece was heard throughout with frigid in difference; and will probably be not more than once or twice repeated. The house was tolerably well attended. THE KING.-HiS MAJESTY continues in excellent health. Yesterday Lord KEN YON had an hour's audience of the KING, when his Lordship hail the honour to present a petition. this day the Duke of WELLING TON came down at two o'clock, had an audience of his MAJESTY, and afterwards partook of refreshment, and left at half past three for London.

The Colosseum was visited on Saturday, by the Duke and Dnchess of CLARENCE, and a number of the Nobility, the particular friends of the Duchess. The day was so favourable that the fine Panorama of London and its environs, appeared to peculiar advantage, and excited the warm plaudits and admiration of the Royal and Noble personages. With the Conservatories, and the Swiss Cot tage, the view of the artificial Rocks, and the intended Waterfall, the whole party were exceedingly surprised and delighted.

The author iwho rrn rou3ll' of 'trench female society, is said to )a; l :leiliceed in . Strong' colours the dangerous intluetwe their fascinations on young Englishmen, THE CORN TRADE. The following interesting CIRCULAR, from an ex tensive Corn House in the North, has created a good deal of discussion, not only in MARK -LANE, but elsewhere : " The small supplies we receive weekly, and the short stock in the hands of the farmers, confirm the opinion that the deficiency of the Wheat crop in this district, at least, was not over-rated at a third, and the information received from other districts lead to the same conclusion respecting the crop all over the empire. Many people are, therefore, at a loss to account for the late reduction in the price of corn, and particularly in the price of Wheat. —When, however, we consider the recent conduct of the Bank of England, in declining to discount the paper of corn merchants at a time when they had made so large an importation of Wheat immediately after harvest, the sur prize ought not to be that prices fell so much, but that they did not fall more. " The policy of the Bank in withholding at such a period the usual facilities of discount from persons engaged in the Corn trade may well be questioned. It has been the cause of a much larger consumption of Wheat than would other wise have taken place—it has checked the purchase of Wheat abroad—it may possibly have the effect of exposing the country before we hare another harvest to the evils of a real scarcity. No man, who has given any attention to the subject, can pretend to say that we shall not yet have occasion for extensive importations of Wheat, and if from the reluctinn of prices the French Government should be again induced to compete with us in the buying up of Wheat in the Baltic (for the Governments instead of mer chants in other countries import under such circumstances) who can answer for the requisite supplies for this country being obtained ? Any restriction in the discounting of corn-factors' bills in London, quickly extends itself to the country, and particularly at a time when the country bankers have to provide for the withdrawing of the 1/. notes; thus leading to a system of forced and ruinous sales of Corn. That in such a state of things markets have re covered, is one of the strongest proofs of the extent and reality of that deficiency, under the consequences of which the country must be prepared to bear up and sustain itself." Under date of the 21st March, the same House ob serves— " The discredit which in London has been thrown upon bills of exchange, arising out of transactions in Corn, is still severely felt in the country; for in the maritime dis tricts the greatest parts of the bills in circulation are such as have been drawn in payment for Corn, and if those bills cease to be readily convertible into money, from that moment the demand for Corn is checked and restrained. In the northern part of this district (a part exclusively agricultural), the price of Wheat in one month actually fell from 80s. to 565. per quarter, and caused the greatest consternation ; for how were farmers with little more than half a crop, and with the price of Wheat at 565., to make shift to pay their rents? Whether the ban under which so large a portion of the circulating medium has been placed is partially relaxed, or the deficiency of the crop is so apparent, that public opinion is becoming too strong for this mischievous interference, is not easy to deter mine; but markets are recovering, and the farmers' supply of Wheat to-day was readily sold at 2s. to 3s. per quarter advance. Foreign Wheat was also more saleable, but not at a similar improvement in price. " Barley is 2s. per quarter, and Oats' about Is. per qr. dearer, since last Saturday, and the supply of both rather short." COMMUNICATION FROM DR. KNOX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE CALEDONIAN MERCURY. regret troubling either you or the public with any thing personal ; but I cannot be insensible of the feel ings of my friends, or of the character of the profession to which I have the honour of belonging. Had I alone been concerned, I should never have thought of obtruding on the public by this communication. I have a class of abOve 400 pupils. No person can be at the head of such an establishment without necessarily running the risk of being imposed spon by those who fur nish the material of their science to anatomical teachers ; and, accordingly, there is hardly any such person who has not occasionally incurred odium or suspicion from his sup posed accession to those violations of the law, without which anatomy can scarcely now be practised. That I should have become an object of popular prejudice, there fore, since mine happened to be the establishment with which Burke and Hare chiefly dealt, was nothing more than what I had to expect. But if means had not been purposely taken, and most keenly persevered in, to misre present facts, and to inflame the public mind, that preju dice would at least have stood on right ground, and would ultimately have passed away, by its being seen that I had been exposed to a mere misfortune, which would almost certainly have occurred to any body else who had been in my situation. But every effort has been employed to convert my mis fortune into positive and intended personal guilt of the most dreadful character. Scarcely any individual has ever been the object of more systematic or atrocious attacks than I have been. Nobody acquainted with this place requires to be told from what quarter these attacks have proceeded. I allowed them to go on for months without taking the slightest notice of them ; and I was inclined to adhere to this system, especially as the public authorities, by never charging me with any offence, gave the only attestation they could that they had nothing to charge me with. But my friends interfered for met Without consulting me they directed an agent to institute the most rigid and un sparing examination into the facts. I was totally unac quainted with this gentleman ; but I understand that in naming Mr. Ellis, they named a person whose character is a sufficient pledge for the propriety of his proceedings. The result of his inquiries was laid before the Dean of Faculty, and another Counsel, who were asked what ought to be done. These gentlemen gave it as their opinion, that the evidence was completely satisfactory, and that there was no want of actionable matter; but that there was one ground on which it was my duty to resist the temptation of going into a Court of Law. This was, that the disclosures of the most innocent proceedings even of the best conducted dissecting-room, must always shock the public, and be hurtful to science. But they recom mend that a few persons of undoubted weight and charac ter should be asked to investigate the matter, in order that if I deserved it, an attestation might be given to me which would be more satisfactory to my friends than any mere statements of mine could be expected to be. This led to the formation of a Committee, which was never meant by me to be any thing but private. But the fact of its sitting soon got into the newspapers, and hence the necessity under which I am placed, of explaining how that proceed ing, in which the public has been made to take an interest, has terminated. I have been on habits of friendship with some of the Committee; with others of them I have been acquainted; and some of them I don't even yet know by sight. I took no charge whatever of their proceedings. In order that there might be no pretence for saying that truth was ob structed from fear, I gave a written protection to every person to say.what he chose about or against me. The extent to which this was, in some instances, taken advan tage of, will probably not be soon forgotten by those who witnessed it. After a severe and laborious investigation of about six weeks, the result is contained in the following report, which was put into my bands last night. It is signed by every member of the Committee except one, who ceased to act long before the evidence was completed. I cannot be supposed to be a candid judge of my own case, and therefore it is extremely probable that any opi nion of mine, on the last vie:v adopted by the Commit tee, is incorrect, and theirs right. If it be so, I most willingly submit to the censure they have inflicted, and shall hold it my duty to profit from it by due care here after. My consolation is, that I have, at least, not been obstinate in my errors, and that no sanction has ever been given, in any fair quarter, to the more serious imputations by which it has been the interest of certain persons to assail me. Candid men will judge of IAP according to the situation in which I was placed: at tie time, and not ac cording to the wisdom which has unexpectedly been ac quired since. • This is the very first time that I have ever made any statement to the public in my own vindication,, and it shall be the last. It would be unjust to the authors Of the former calumnies to suppose that they would not re , :: new them now. I can only assure ',hem that, in to far as 1 am concerned, they will renew them in vain. have the honour to be, &c. &c. (Signed) R. KNOX. Edinburgh, 10, Surgeon's•square, March 17, 1829. REPORT OF THE COINIMITTE4; f , The Committee who, at the e request of ir. Knox, undertook t o i nvest i gate thc truth or fa e lsehOnd of the 7a mou in cir cu l i v i i on regarding Mini, h ave gone t r .rs v ib 9 t er ol tn vou , a ir dt a t ilo t yd ion io o fo f r ' roa ivi t tl ion enee, i t course nt of o a w n h o x h t - from evert quarter. They awe furnished with all w h ic h they required erorn knox himself, and though they have . failed .in some attempts tu prccure evidence, they have in most quarters succeeded in obtaining it, and especially from those persons who. ha,ve been represented to them as having poke the most confidently in support of these rumours —and they have unanimously agreed on the following re port:- I. The Committee have seen no evidence that Dr. Knox or his Assistants knew that murder was committed in procuring any of the subjects brought to his rooms, and the Committee firmly believe that they did not. 2. On the question whether any suspicion of murder at any time existed in Dr. Knox's mind, the Committee would observe that there were certainly several circum stances (already known to the public), regarding some of the subjects brought by Burke and flare, which, now that the truth has come out, appear calculated to excite that suspicion, particularly the very early period after death at which they were brought to the rooms, and the absence of external marks of disease, together with the opinion previously expressed by Dr. Knox, in common with most other anatomists, of the generally abandoned character of persons engaged in this traffic. But on the other hand, the Committee, after much anxious inquiry, have found no evidence of their actually having excited it in the mind of Dr. Knox, or of any other of the individuals who saw the bodies of these unfortunate persons, prior to the appre hension of Burke. These bodies do not appear in any instance to have borne any external marks by which it could have been known whether they had died by violence, or suddenly from natural causes, or from diseases of short duration; and the mode of protracted anatomical dissection, prac tised in this and other similar establishments, is such as would have made it very difficult to ascerta n the causes of death, even if special inquiry had been instituted with that intentioa. No evidence whatever has come before the Committee that any suspicion of murder was expressed to Dr. Knox, by any one, either of his assistants, or of his very numerous class (amounting to upwards of 400 students), or other persons who were in the practice of frequently visiting his rooms; and there are several circumstances in his conduct, particularly the complete publicity with which his establishment was managed, and his anxiety to lay each subject before the students as soon as possible after its re ception, which seem to the Committee strongly to indicate that he had no suspicion of the atrocious means by which they had been procured. It has also been proved to the satisfaction of the Com mittee, that no mutilation or disfigurement of any kind was ever practised with a view to conceal the features, or abstract unseasonably any part of the body, the presence of which might have facilitated detection ; and it appears clearly that the subjects brought by Burke and Hare were dissected in the same protracted manner as those procured from any other quarter. _ _ 3. The Committee have thought it proper to inquire further, whether there was any thing faulty or negligent in the regulations under which subjects were received into Dr. Knox's rooms, which gave or might give a peculiar facility to the disposal of the bodies obtained by these crimes; and on this point they think it their duty to state their opinion fully. It appears in evidence, that Dr. Knox had formed and expressed an opinion, long prior to any dealings with Burke and Hare, that a considerable supply of subjects for ana tomical purposes might be procured by purchase, and with out any crime, from the relations or connections of deceased persons in the lowest ranks of society. _ _ In forming this opinion, whether mistaken or not, the Committee cannot consider Dr. Knox to have been cul pable. They believe that there .is nothing contradictory to the law of the land in procuring subjects for dissection in that way, and they know that the opinion which Dr. Knox had formed on this point, though never acted on to any extent in this country, has been avowed by others of the highest character in the profession. But they think that Dr. Knox acted on this opinion in a very incautious manner. This preconceived opinion seems to have led him to give a ready ear to the plausible stories of Burke, who ap pears from all the evidence before the Committee to have conducted himself with great address, and appearance of honesty, as well in his conversations with Dr. Knox, as in his more frequent intercourse with his Assistants; and al ways to have represented himself as engaged in negocia tions of that description, and occasionally to have asked and obtained money in advance to enable him and his as !iodate to conclude bargins. Unfortunately, also, Dr. Knox had been led, apparently in consequence of the extent and variety of his avocations, to entrust the dealings with persons supplying subjects, and the reception of the subjects brought, to his assistants (seven in number), and to his door-keeper, indiscrimi nately. It appears also that he directed or allowed these dealings to be conducted on the understanding (common to him with some other anatomists), that it would only tend to diminish or divert the supply of subjects to make any particular inquiry of the persons bringing them, as to the place and mode of obtaining them. - In these respects the Committee consider the practice which was then adopted in Dr. Knox's rooms (whatever be the usage in this or other establishments in regard to sub jects obtained in the ordinary way) to have been very im proper in the case of persons bringing bodies which had not been interred. They think that the notoriously bad character of persons who generally engage in any such traffic, in addition to the novelty and particular nature of the system on which these men professed to be acting, un doubtedly demanded greater vigilance. The extent, therefore, to which (judging from the evi dence which they have been able to procure), the Committee think that Dr. Knox can be blamed on account of transac tions with Burke and Hare is, that by this laxity of the re gulations under which bodies were received into his rooms, he unintentionally gave a degree of facility to the disposal of the victims of their crimes, which, under better regula tions, would not have existed, and which is doubtless matter of deep and lasting regret, not only to himself, but to all who have reflected on the importance, and are therefore intertsted in the prosecution of the study of anatomy. B u t, while they point out this circumstauce as the only ground of censure which they can discover in the conduct of Dr. Knox, it is fair to observe, that perhaps the recent dis closures have made it appear reprehensible to many who would not otherwise have adverted to its possUe conse quences. . - March 13, 1829.

SPIRIT OP THE LONDON JOURNALS. (FROM THE TIMES.) Almost every person whom we meet asks us— " Is Sir Charles Wetherell still Attorney-General ?" Our answer is uniformly—Whether he is or not, he ought not to be so. When a functionary in a high and confidential office not only declares a general hostility to the Government, but accompanies that declaration with insolent invective and all but per sonal outrage against some of the most important :Members of that Government, his retention of his office must be ascribed either to the fear or the con tempt which his conduct has inspired. Those who have opportunities of observation know very well that Sir Charles Wetherell is not a very formidable person,—that he is a man who draws much more frequently on the forbearance than on the respect or admiration of his friends or colleagues. But though this was perfectly well known to a considerable number of persons, tho public generally knew no thing about it, and might have imagined that the " honest" Attorney-General, who had de nounced his party with tones, and gestures, and expressions unparalleled in Parliamentary recollec tion, was so important a personage that the Cabi net durst not dismiss him. We are quite sure that the Government has been influenced by very differ ent motives : that if Sir Charles Wetherell has not yet been dismissed, it is to be imputed to the deli cacy, and moderation, and good temper of the Mi nisters, who do not wish to visit the contemptible folly of their servant with any precipitate harshness of punishment. But we trust and believe, that now that the Cabinet has shown its own temper and forbearance by the slowness of its deliberation and the reluctance of its decision, it will at length vin dicate its own character and importance by not al lowing itself to be bearded with impunity. If Sir Charles Wetherell is not already dismissed, we feel that Government will, with a proper sense of its duty to itself awl the country, lose no time in ex pelling from its councils and confidence a wrong headed and impracticable man, who mistakes inso lence for independence, and who thinks it a matter of conscience to obstruct those whom it is his duty to obey. The public heard with considerable emotion, in the course of Saturday last, that a hostile meeting I had taken place, about eight o'clock in the morning, , between his Grace the Duke of Wellington - and the Earl of Winchilsea; but that, providentially, there had been Rio personal harm suffered on either side. In our humble opinion, if we may presume to form one, the Duke of Wellington was the last man on earth who could be called upon to defend himself by duel against any attack upon his public charac ter. We must also add, that of all men existing, Lord Winchilsea is precisely the one from whom nobody need think of demanding satisfaction for offences growing out of the Catholic question. Than his Lordship, before he unfortunately ran mad upon this subject, there was (and is still in private life) Ito better kind of person : lie has always been harm less and free from guile,—indeed a thoroughly honest well-meaning man ; but we think totally unqualified to form a judgment for himself, or to direct that of others, cn a political question which required a good share of knowledge, a good share of reasoning, and great freedom from prejudice, to decide it safely. The Duke of Wellington, however, having, under the influence of profes sional or fashionable habits, felt himself compelled to notice formally the petulant outrage com mitted upon him by the publication of Lord Whichilaea's letter to the Secretary of King's Col lege, has, by the manner of conducting les whole correspondence, establiahed the highest claims to general respect and admiration, for the inimitable dignity, temper, and even kindness of his expo,tu latums with the man who had wantonly insulted him. Te the very last, the veteran warrior appeared anxious to leave or make opportunities for the Noble Earl to reconsider, and retract, or soften, his furious and unprovoked attack. Perhaps even the grossness of that aggression, forming part, as it did, of a letter deliberately written and published, may have weighed with a Nobleman of high personal gallantry like Lord Winchilsea, rather as an argument against yielding to the Duke's demand, until the event of a meeting might place him in a situation to defy every misconstruction of Ida motives for doing justice to his injured and reluctant adversary. We have heard, what we hope is true, that, after the formal apology agreed upon, the two Noblemen parted as became brave and generous men, with expressions of mutual courtesy and good will. It is a pity that their po litical differences should have given rise to any such painful scenes, and we trust that if 0.0 other benefit results from that which has just been happily termi nated, it may at least have a tendency to calm the violence of partisans throughout the remainder of these diseussions. (FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE.) ,Nothing was talked of yesterday but the duel be tween the Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Win chilsea. Of the letter of the Earl which led to this affair there can be but one opinion ; but as his Lord ship has himself e xpressed his regret at having unad visedly published it, we shall say nothing on that subject. With regard to the duel, Nye take it for granted that, under the cireusnstances, it was una voidable. However much we might have regretted another result than that which fortunately took place, if a regard to his reputation demaorted from his Grace that he should take the step, lie could only alit as he did. No man could be a better judge of I what the exigency required from him than himself, to say nothing cf theiudgment of those by whose advice he must have been aided. We have heard his Grace blamed for exposing his life at a time 'when so much depended on it ; and the case has been put, would he, when the safety of an army depended on his life, have deemed himself justified in hazard ing it We believe the case is not in point. — A General, so long as he is at the head of an army, is specially charged with its safety. But whatever may be thought by others of the importance of the life of any man in awe, lie is not himself at liberty to assume the necessity of his life to the welfare of the State, Nations cannot be destroyed like armies ; and no public man is therefore placed, officially, in the responsible situation of a General. A Nioister is, therefore, bound to guide himself by the rules by which any other gentleman ought to be gu i de d . And however calamitous the Ices of a life might be, with which is bound up the success; pf measures of paramount isaeortance to the country, his Grace could not, fora moment, place himself in the 3itiia tion of the public. He had to consider merely what a regard to his personal honour arid reputation de manded. The possession of that honour wed repu tation untarniebed was indispensable even to the success of his futun'e exertions; for, whether well or ill founded, the law pf opinioe in such matters is not to be combated. If any man could have been justified in disregarding opinion, that man certainly was the Duke of Wellington. (FROM THE NEWS.) The Catholic Relief Bill, it will be seen by out' Parliame! - tary Intelligence, was read a second time on Wednesday, after an adjourned debate, by a ma jority of ISO; the division being 353 to 173. This result is supposed to have settled the question in the Commoua ; unless the Ultras mean to try aa other-division on the - third reading, which will pro, bably - take place on Wednesday or Thursday. The more this important question "progresses," the more personality and acrimony appear to mingle with it. It is well that the angry effusions which escape the Ultras in the souse of debate—for the wrath is all on their side—are uttaed in a place where the forms enjoin a submission to being called " miserable disreputable apostate" " a dirty tool" -" unprincipled deserter" " fool," &c. &c. by any personage however insignificant, or there would have ere now been mixed- up with the consideration of the Catholic Claims, various pistollings, cudgellings, or pinkings—for it must be allowed that the pa-- tience of one portion of the House has been griev, ously exercised by the viperine language of the other. Had this abusive line of conduct proceeded from young, hot-headed, inexperienced Members, it would not have so much astonished us; but grey bearded veterans have been foremost in it—and I amongst the foremost of the foremost, in the race of oral libel and personal abuse, is the very man whose station in life, should more especially have taught him to keep his tongue and temper under due controul. We a;lude to the rambling bear-garden speech of the Attorney-General in the House of Commons on Wednesday even ing, which we have, reported at length in our se cond and third pages. It would seem that in the opinion of this Learned Gentleman, the English lan guage hardly afforded bitterness of expression enough for him to heap on the devoted heads of Mr. Peel, Lord Lyndhurst, and Sir N. Tindall. One is an " apostate," " black one day and white another"—the second " a Protestant Master of the Rolls on one day and a Catholic Lord Chancellor on the other" —and the third, whose only crime appears to be that he did what Sir Charles Wethe rell refused to do, draw the Bill in question—is "a dirty tool." " I would not," quoth this mild spoken Gentleman, " I would not condescend to frame such a Bill—no Minister in this Country—no man in this realm should compel me so to stultify my self. I refused to draw it. I would not be guilty of such folly, such inconsistency, as that which must ac cumulate upon the head of the man who drew it. I said, you may turn me out of office, but I will never consent to be the dirty tool to draw such a Bill. I would not soil my hands with it."—lf Sir Charles had been as careful of soiling his tongue as his hands, such expressions as abound in his speech • would never have been tittered in any society of gentlemen. That his personalities are only fit to be laughed at, on account of their grossness and . absurdity, we admit, but the intent to wound is . the same—and it deserved to be visited with an in • fliction, which the forensic libeller would not quickly I have forgotten. CATHOLICS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. TO THE RIGHT LION. ROBERT PEEL, &e. &e. Sag—This letter merits your attention, both personally and publicly. You doubtless would not willingly leave incomplete the great measure which, it may now be said, you have vir tually carried through the House of Commons. I am about to submit to you a necessary and interesting comple ment to it, and to yosr own fame. The Emancipation Bill which you have framed proposes to leave untouched the disqualifications of Catholics in the Universities of this realm—including, of course, Trinity College, Dublin. I confine myself to this last alone, be cause it is the University with which alone I am compe tently acquainted, and because it is there the injustice is the most pernicious and glaring. The University of Dublin is a Protestant endowment or foundation, intended by the Royal foundress, Elia ibetli, and her Protestant successors to a very recent period s @ the maintenance of Protestantism and Protestants exclusively. Granted. But what are the objects and purposes of the Uni versity of Dublin at the present day ? This is the real and only question—and the answer must be, that it is no longer a Protestant, but a National Seminary. Now, Sir, I put it to you, is it just or reasonable that in a nation where the great majority is Catholic, the emoluments and honours of this single overgrown endowment should be confined to Protestants ? Catholic Students, it is true, are admitted, and take degrees, but they are admitted merely to contri bute to its wealth, not to compete for its honours and emoluments. To come to particulars— The University of Dublin, as an endowed corporate body by the title of " Trinity College, Dublin," consists of a Provost, 22 Fellows, and '73 Scholars, exercising equally and exclusively the Elective Franchise. The Provost has almost invariably been previously a Fellow—Fellowships and Scholarships, the former for life, with certain conditions, the latter for tlie period of five years from Junior Sophisteis to Masters standing, are obtained by the best answerers in a prescribed course of reading, after a searching and cer tainly impartial examination. Of the Fellows three are, by invariable usage, or a bye law, Laymen. Now, why should Catholics be excluded from these lay vacancies ? It is no part of the business of a Junior Fellow to teach his pupils religion. His hueinees is only with logic, mathematics, physics, metaphysics, and classics. And I never heard that a Catholic, as such, was less competent to manoeuvre syllogysms through the modes and figures—to demonstrate the equality of the square of the hypothenuse to the sum of the squares of the remaining sides—or of the latitude of the place to the elevation of the pole, Pascal bad some very incomprehensible notions about " la grace efficace," but was not the less a perfect reasoner, and a geuius in the exact sciences. When the Junior Fellow becomes in time a Senior, his being a Catholic would not interfere in the least with his new duties, of occupying his easy chair once a week, at the beard, and administering the over grown and overgrowing finances pf the University, with out the trouble of any responsibility or account beyond the secret concert and conscience of his ln other Senior. Bat I abandon Fellowships, except for the principle, because the disqualification is very limited, if not absolutely null, in effect. The Fellowship course of reading is so overcharged with lumber, that it de mands years of toil and duty, and the lay vacancies, at the same time, so rare, that no Catholics would devote themselves, unless with the intention, secret or avowed, of confirming and taking orders. The great and crying grievance is the exclusion of Ca tholics from Scholarships. I will not now stop to inquire what a seliolarship should of right be worth, I reserve the touching and ptoving of this delicate topic for another oc casion. My present business is only with its actual value to a Student, premising that Fellow Commoners (a nume rous class) never read for it ; that the candidates are Pen sioners for the most part of little means, and Siasrs of still less. A Scholar has his chambers, commons, a small allowance, sometimes as low as 41., and never above 201. a year, and the elective franchise. The emoluments, though email, are yet important to a Student of limited means--and tl;g academical rink which a Scholarship confers is a powerful incitement to talent, industry, and good conduct. The Scholars ad. minister no instruction or authority whatever. They are simply Students, who go out like other Students, when their course is finished. I put it, Sir, to your candour, whether the exclusion of Catholic; from competition for this reward of talent, industry, and moral corsilu;:t, be not an unjust, uncalled for, and most illiberal exclusion. One objeption only will and can be made, that Sao • larships are a bounty by which the Established Church raises vecruits from the ranks of the Catholics. I ad mit the fact—but is this quite moral ? to tempt youth both in its poverty and its aspiriogs, by a bribe — to tell the aspirant he must capitulate with his conscience before he can start for the prize. M soy Students pre ronesly Catholic conform, I know, from honourable ino tivee,'from preceding latitude and liberality of opinion, and an enlargement pf views, as they become more con vers int with science, their feilpw-students, and the world. But these would either conform withou, thp bribe, or they would return to the community, whence they caane, libe ralized f' s stholics, the most useful class of subjects in the peculiar state of Ireland. But the greater number of the conformists disgrace, not strengthen, the Church to which they desert—they carry into the bosom pf the Protestant Ciluech their early bigotry, with the superaddtef viruleriee or apostate/. Some, perhaps, retain the very dogmas of their first creed, .tut 4 shroud their hypocrisy in intolerance and exaggeration. It is nos" fame years, Sir, since you were Chief Secretary in Ireland, and i well know that vulgar partisans could as little apprpagli you Its a gentle man as they could influence you as a Minister. 134 YPu isusst still know the state of I reland well enough to be aware that thp raost notorious and unprincipled of the re verend trailers in BetmsFssick bigotry and incendiary de clamation are renegades from she teligion which they ma lign—that their violence is not l; but the F seairulence of corrupt aspostacy, exaggeration, and bad faith. I submit this question to you, however, upon broader principles. Is if meet, I ask, that a national seminary should be an arena for aectariaa proselytism:; that the youth should continue fettered in the career o. 13.9 educa tion, whilst the man is mune:tailed, and his course tree ; that the genius of intolerance should be alloitsed a last refuge in the very first place where it should be expelled ; the piece where the youth of a nation, various in creed, first meet in the morning of life, with their feelings and their minds yet fresh and notvorn ; in the ardent com munion of their studies, their frisinisiiits, and their pur suits of pleasure. The Irish University may lie (!. - ; sc;;te,c . l as a laboratory in weigh all that is best an d worst in the Irish character, and most intitteptial in Irish society, is determined and formed. Surely, Sir, r ..L e/.:oold .be re-ad justed and purified in the general process of reviaten, god thin may be effected by a clause of a.few lines in the ap. proachiag committee on the Bill. j. have the honour tc , be, Sir, f7e. &c.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord SHAFTESBURY, and Lord MELvlcr.r, sat as Commissioners at a quarter before four o'clock, to give the Royal Assent to the Exchequer Bills Bill, the Army and Marine Mutiny Bills, the Edin burgh Gas Light, and several private Road Bills. The House then adjourned, and sat again at five o'clock. Lord KINMORE presented a petition from the Minis ter and other Inhabitants of the city of Perth, against fur ther concessions to the Roman Catholics. Also two others from different parts in the same county to the sane effect. The Duke of SUSSEX presented petitions from the Roman Catholics of Long Sutton, the parish of Sutton, Lincolnshire, three from the county of Limerick, one from Antrim, and another from an individual, an elder of a Protestant congregationlin:Birmingharn, all in favour of Emancipation. Mr. ORD and others brought up from the House of Commons two Private Bills; and also a message, request ing to be furnished with a copy of their Lordship's evi dence on Kyley's Divorce Bill. Lord SIDMOUTH presented a petition against the claims of the Catholics. Lord LORTON presented 25 petitions from the Pro testants of different parishes in Ireland, against concessions. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a petition from a parish in the county of Cumberland, against the claims of the Roman Catholics. The Right Rev. Prehste (as we understood,) stated in a very low voice, that in a few days he should, as he had been requested, present a petition from the Under Graduates of Cambridge. Earl GREY presented a petition signed by 2,126 of the most respectable inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in favour of Catholic Emancipation. Lord DURHAM presented a petitio❑ from a parish in the county of Durham, in favour of the Catholic Claims. This petition would not have been brought before their Lordships had it not been for one presented of a con trary nature from the same town, by the Noble Lord (Eldon) on the cross benches. Lord ELDON was quite sure that this petition could contain no hin d ; like the number of signatures that the one had attached to it which he had the honour of pre- senting. Lord DURHAM rose and observed that in getting up the petition, more attention had been paid to col. lecting the respectability of the county to affix their names to it than in gathering together in a heterogenous mass the names of all persons, however ignorant and unintelligent that could be got hold of. An indivi dual, who had been requested to sign the petition, pre sented 11 , Lord Eldon, praying their Lordships ; it was stated to him to preserve the Protestant Constitution, slid, " Yes, certainly, I shall, for I think there is nothing more necessary than that Parliament should protect us againq resurrectionists!—(Much laughter.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a peti tion from the Roman Catholics of the county of Tyrone, in favour of their claims. Lord KENYON presented sixteen petitions, all against further concessions. Lord KING presented several petitions in favour of i concession to the Catholcs. He acknowledged the courtesy of Lord Eldon in having delayed presenting a petition to the house for several days from Welch Cal vanists. Than those petitioners, a mole intolerant set of beings never lived. Were he to be called out for the purpose of being tried by a parcel of those Welch Calvin. ists, or a parcel of Cardinals, and he, from his choice, of the two he certainly should prefer a trial by the latter, b:cause he was sure "he should stand a better chance of olttaining justice. He had presented a petition from another set of those persons, of a more tolerant disposition and whom the Intolerants had turned out of their society, in favour of the Catholics. The Noble Lord on the cress-benches a few nights ago had presented a petition, as he stated, from 94 Dissenting Ministers in London and Westminster. The fact was, that only one out of those 94 individuals was a regularly qualified minister among the three denominations of Dissenters, and the rest were tailors and shoe-makers, probably good men in their stations, of life. lie would just state, likewise, that a boy p..ssing through the town of Exeter, and seeing an immense rowel of persons going into a house to sign a petition atlainst the Catholics, asked his companions to ac company him to sign the said petition also ; the companion at first demurred, but after a little persuamn consented. After they got in the boy, t.aok up his com panions paw (for he was dog) put a pen into it, and wrote John Rover,—(immense laughter,)—and the petition prayed that the Protestant Constitution might be pre s. reed as it was gonatituted in 1688. Lord ELDON—No doubt the dog wagged his tail, after having done it.—(Continued loud laughter.) (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House was summoned to attend a Commission in the House of Lords, for the purpose of giving the Royal Assent to several Biils. On the Speaker's return, Mr. V. FITZGERALD took the oaths and his seat for Newport. On the motion of General GA scovris, that the Report oa the Liverpool Church be brought up, Mr. W. HARVEY opposed it on the ground that it was a misappropriation of the grant to the Commissioners for Building Churches, which was intended for the provision of churches where the people were not sufficiently ac commodated, and never was intended to have been ex pended on places which were able to provide for them elves. Mr. HUME also opposed the Grant. It was only in tended to apply the million and a half voted to the building of churches, where the inhabitants had contributed, and could not make up the deficiency. General GASCOYNE, is reply, stated, that Le would not persist in the :notion, which was ultimately postponed till this city week. Mr. BELL presented two petitions against the Orphans Duty on Coals, from the Coal Owners of . London and 6outhwark, Mr. FERGUSON said, that this duty ought not to be continued. He would ask his Hon. Friend the Member for Westminster, if he would submit that the people of Westminster should be taxed for the local improvements of the City of London. 4lderrnan WOOD contended that the coal-owners had more reason to complain of the combination in the north, by which ss. or 6s. per chaldron were laid on coals while the present Bill only imposed Cs. per eltaldron. Part of the Orphans' Fund had been applied to the improvement of Westminster, as well as of London and Southwark. After a few words from Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN, the petition was ordered to be referred to the Committee on the Bill. _ . Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from the town of Leeds, in favour of Emancipation. He stated that his deliberate and advised opinion was, tlaat there was a large and preponderating majority in all parts of Yorkshire, ip favour of the Catholics. Lord MILTON differed with the Hon. Member in sup posing that the majority was on that side of the question. Petitions had only b, en presented front 118 places, front a county which contained between 800 and 900 parishes. Q 4 the motion of Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN the Bill for rebuilding Et, Pgnstan's Church, Fleet-street, was read a second time. The LORD MAYOR presented a petition from several individuals against the proposed approaches to London bridge. Sir lAN4S M'INTOWI postponed the motion of which he had given nritice, respecting Portugal, till after the Easter recess, the Hod. Baronet a1%9 gaYe notice, that on Thursday next he should present a Petition from the City Of Edinburgh in favour of Catholic Eman piration. Sir k;Rw4up KNATCHBULL presented petitions and — nine iilaccs in the County of from Deptfnrif, Kent, against any further CoM•essions to Use Catholics. Nr, MUNDY presented a ptition from Chesterfield and iwo other pl a ces in the county of Derby, again st the Cathoilc The one from Chest e rfield was agreed to at a public meeting regularly convened, and al most unanimously-,.-it Was also signed by O l i o gagi strates. Lord G. CAVENDISH slid the AlaOstrates who had ‘; ,, T.:ed the petition did n ot reside io th e ne i g hbourhood, and' wa4 ,thr, , y did not express the sense of the ma jority of the district: After a few words from Mr. Cam!Prox, the petiticp brought up and read. A Message i:roy the Lords announced their Lordships having agreed to several private petitions. (FT FT smnio.) LENT ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE, MARCH 21 FRIDAY V. RUST. This was an action in trover, and was brought against the Sheriff of Canterbury, for having illegally sold certain property belonging to the plaintiff, under an execution issued against the goods of Mr. Dilnot Wildash. The action was nominally aganst the sheriff, but the real de fendants were Messrs. Ray and Co., wine-merchants, of London. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 5501. LINCOLN, MARCH 19. The business for the county terminated yesterday, ex cept one case, which was an indictment against the Gran tham Canal Company, for conspiring to raise the price of coals. Lord Chief Justice "law, having been attacked by gout in the knee, wee obliged to try the case in his private room at the Judge's lodgings, his Lordship reclining on a sofa during the trial. It appeared that the defendants did agree to buy up the coals, and therefore offended against the letter of the act ; but their object was stated to be to prevent their attaining a high price, by always keeping the market steadily supplied. The Learned Judge, therefore expressed his dleapprobatiou of this prosecution ; and upon the Jury returning a verdict of Guilty, - only sentenced the defendants to pay a fine of One Farthing each. HUNTINGDON, MARCH 21. William Angel, aged 23, was indicted for the wilful murder of John Grange, at the parish of Warboys, on the 6th of September last, by shooting him with a gun loaded with gunpowder and leaden shot. Jane Roblett examined—On Saturday, the 7th of Sep tember, 1 was lodging in the house of Robert East, at Warboys. Ann Hawkes was lodging there also. The prisoner came to assist East in his harvest-field. About 11 o'clock on the night 1 have mentioned, there was a great snob of people collected about the house, throwing stones at it. The prisoner went out of the house to look after his horse and gig, and when he came in, Mrs. East requested bins "to go out and still them." He went out, and returned in half an hour with his lip cut; be said they had b en knocking him about, and if they were not off, be would shoot some of them. A gun hung on a beam in the room. It was loaded, and the prisoner used to go out and watch the corn with it. He took the gun down from the beam, and went out directly. I did not hear bins say anything about its being loaded He uncorked (coked) the gun in the house. I heard the gun go off as soon as he got out. He came in again, and began to load the gun anew. While he was loading it, East said to him, " Angel, you've shot somebody." I did not hear his an swer. The gun was taken fi otn him by Huggins. East again said to him, " You've shot a man; go out and own it." Prisoner went out, and never returned. Cross-examined by Mr. Gl;Nxixo—When the prisoner came in after he had been to still the mob, his lip was cut and his face bleeding. 11is hat was knocked off. He complained of very bad usage. He was in a great passion. He reached the gun down directly. He did not stop to say any thing. Martiii Hodson-1 heard the gun, and saw John Grange stagger back and fall. lie died very soon. The prisoner, in his defence, said they were knocking him about very much. He called no witnesses. The Jury, after a minute's deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty of Manslaughter. The Learned Be gox, in passing sentence on the prisoner, said that the verdict was a very proper one, but the crime amounted to one of the most aggravated cases of man slaughter he had ever witnessed. Under these circum stance, the Learned Judge sentence I the prisoner to be transported for the whole term of his natural life. John Bishop was indicted for stealing twenty sheep, the property of Mr. T. Lindsell, of Hemingford Grey. The facts were wholly uninteresting ; and the prisoner was found Guilty. The Learned BARON passed the awful sentence of "Death" on the unhappy man, holding out to him no hopes of mercy on this side the grave, in consequence of the magni tude of the theft, and the circumstance that the prisoner did not appear to be actuated by want to the perpetration of the crime. SHREWSBURY, MARCH 20. On Wednesday last the Commission for the county of Salop was opened here by Mr. Justice JAMES Particr, and the following day business commenced. The calendar contained the names of 48 prisoners, and only 13 causes were entered for trial ; five of them were undefended, two withdrawn, and three referred. The absence of business is remarkable in this town, when compared with the great number of important causes which have of late years been tried at these assizes. LIBEL.-PETTINGALL V. ARROWS3IITH. Mr. Meesoe• openel the pleadings. Mr. CAMPBELL said on this occasion he had the honour to appear as Counsel for the Rev. George Hanbury Petti gall, .who had been reluctantly compelled to bring this action, which the defendant, by suffering judgment to go by default, had acknowledged was without defence. The plaintiff was a clergyman of the Church of England, with a patrimonial prtperty of 1,2001. a-year, but without a benefice. In 1818, he married a lady of great respecta bility, residing in this county, a Miss Jane Baines. With her be had no fortune, but received afterwards 1,0001. on the death of a near relation. They lived very happily to gether for some time, and, if it had not been for the de fendant, might have continued to do so, with very slight interruption to their felicity, to the present time. There had never been the slightest imputation on the honour of Mrs. Pettingall ; nothing could be alleged against her, ex cept some peculiarity of temper, which might, with proper management, have been corrected. But the Jury would find that those small differences heal been fomented by the arts of the defendant and some of his relations. The plaintiff was willing to do every thing in his power to gratify the ca prices of his wife. His fortune was at her disposal to go where she pleased, and in 1828, Mrs. Pettingall having expressed a desire to visit the Continent, they crossed the Channel and settled themselves at the Hague. Here they lived hap pily for some time, but at length Mrs. Pettingall became tired of her husband's society, and i nsisted on returning alone to her relations, Mr. Pettingall furnished her with money for her journey. She arrived in this country, and came down to Shrewsbury, where Mrs. Ford, her aunt, resided. While at the Hague, Mr. and Mrs. Pettingall had been living with a respectable gentleman of the name of Theron, who wrote a letter to Mrs. Ford, to explain the manner in which Mrs. Pettingall had been treated while there, and expressing his hope that Mrs. Ford and her relations would do what they could to induce Mrs. Pettingall to return to her husband. With that view the letter was written and arrived in Shrewsbury, where the defendant, Mr. Arrowsurrith, a surgeon, resided. He (Mr. Campbell) did not wish to say any thing against the defendant, except what arose out of this cause. Mr. Ar rowstnith was no relation of Mrs. Pettingall, but a nephew of Mrs. Ford. Ile had seen the letter from M. Theron, addressed to Mrs. Ford, and in answer to that chose to write a letter, not to M. Theron, but to another gentle man, Mr. Proctor, to brand the character of Mr. Pet tingall in a foreign country with those slanderous reports that he had been propagating in this country. The learned Counsel then proceeded to comment on the different parts of the letter which he deemed most obnoxious to the plaietiff. It had been written in coat !ence, and without malicious motives, Mr, Arrowsinith might have attempted to defend the action ; but it was no such thing, the de fendant had pleaded guilty to the charge. Mr. BATHER said, said his Learned Friend had talked of the differences which had been fomented by the defend ant, but what evidence had they of any thing before this letter aves written? It was admitted that the plaintiff and his wife had not lived very happily together,—that their days had not been all halcyon days,—that there had been the tiffs, the quarrels, and 'the April showers of me trimoly ; and it had Leon urged that, notwithstanding those cloud:, and gleamacif sunshine, they would have been happy, and lived the eery Darby and ,lean of married life, if it had not been for the defendant; yet of any iuterfer ference on his part previous to this letter, there was not a shadow of evidence. The letter contained a history of itself,—it told the cause of its origin, it was written pru dently in cenfidenee, bet was entirely destitete of that coldness and malignity ascribed to it by his Learned Friend. The defendant had not attempted to justify it, because he could uot,—there was the expression of " the most varied and ingenious brutality." If the plaintiff had not exercised every torture,—if he had not tarred and feathered his - e:ife,—the justification would have been in- I complete.—(A laugh.)—if ever there was a case lit for nominal damagee,—damages which could be paid with the smallest coin of the realm,—this was the case. The costs would be quite enough for his unfortunate client, and lie (Mr. Bather) could not but tremble for his pocket when he looked rcuud arid saw the f2arf4l array of learned wivs against him.—(Laughter.)- There Was Mr. 1:., - !arnpbell . le silk gown, the black patch of Sergeant Peale; and the modest merit of Mr. Meeson—(a laugh)—all to cause out ' of the pocket or bli c!it , nt. Verdict for the plaintiff—Dimiges one farthing. lo,i;n Evans was indicted, charged with ha v ing , on tlte 20th - of Vebruary lasi., al; Bis l 4op's Cattle, in this county, inalichingly shot E.lwird 'Richards, with intent to kill him. - Mr. Sergeant Russir.i . said the prisoner 1;4 been I miller s residing in lieiefordabire, and some time pi-eirious to November last, be took up his abode at an inn at Bishop's Castle, where he remained till the following month (December), when he was apprehended on some charge, and lodged in Hereford gaol. From that place he succeeded in escaping, and in February returned to the inn at Bishop's Cistle in disguise. It would appear by the evidence, that he was immediately recognised, first by a child ; and observing that be bad become an object of at tention, he made some excuse to go into the yard. The prosecutor (Richard•), who was unfortunately present, and had with other persons recognised the prisoner, followed him for the purpose of watching him, and was almost in stantly shot lay the prisoner. Edward Richards, the prosecutor, looking extremely ill and weak, was now with difficulty supported into court. He stated his having been at the Boar's Head on the even ing of the 20th of February last, and seeing the prisoner there. On asking the prisoner whether his name was the same now as when he was last at Bishop's Castle, he said it was, and immediately added, he wanted to go out. Wit ness said he would go with him. The prisoner then got up and went out, witness following, but not taking hold of bins; when the prisoner had got about half-way across the yard, he stood still and took up his frock ; witness then passed him about two or three yard., and asked him if he was coming on ; the prisoner made no reply, but instantly shot him. The Jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner Guilty—Death. The prisoner is a remarkably powerful man, and very good-looking; his demeanour remained unchanged during the whole of the trial. Most extraordinary idolise are afloat of his daring rapacity and success in robberies, to a very considerable extent. LANCASTER, ALLacH 19. REX V. HYDE. Mr. HALL opened the pleadings. This was an indict ment charging the defendant with an assault upon Fanny Fisher. Fanny Fisher, the prosecutrix, was then called. She is a pretty-looking woman. When she entered the box she was much agitated, and during the whole of her exa mination appeared painfully distressed. She stated, I live in Scotland-row, Liverpool. My husband is a sail-maker. I carry on the business of a dress-maker. On the after noon of the 4th of November last, I heard a knock at the door. I went and opened it. Mr. Hyde, the defendant, a surveyor of assessed taxes at Liverpool, was there. He had a book in his hand. He came into the lobby and then went into the parlour. He took hold of my hand, and asked me how long I had been married? I told hint six or seven months. I withdrew my hand, and turned away. He tried to look in my face, and said, " Yes, yes, you know what I mean—how do you like it." He then asked what rent we paid. I told him 19/. or guineas ; I did not know which. I said I would call the servant to get the receipts to show him, but he said, " Never mind, 1 will take your word."— He said I should get rich in time. When I told him that such gentlemen as he prevented our getting rich, he said that it was in his power to make us rich. When he took hold of my hand he said, " Take care that you have no little stockings to knit. I suppose you and your hus band—" (making a very indecent allusion). I tried to get my hand away. He then went through the kitchen up stairs. In the lobby he said to me, " Come, give nee a kiss." I said I should do nothing of the kind, and would infirm Mr. Fisher. He said nothing, but put his arm round my neck, and took a kiss. He then said, " Come, now, give me another kiss." I said 1 would not, and asked him what he thought Mr. Fisher would say. He said, " Fisher will never know ; there is no harm in it. You don't know what a fancy you've raised. 1 don't see such a nice little woman every day." He then pressed me towards him and took another kiss. I got away with difficulty, and went along the lobby to the door, which I opened in order to let him out. He put the door to with one hand, and with the other took hold of my hand, and —(Witness here spoke to an incident of a very indecent nature.)—l said 1 would tell Mr. Fisher. He said, "By Heavens you must not. You are not yet experienced in these things ; wives do not tell their husbands every thing." He then went away." In about ten minutes there was another knock at the door, and I went and opened it. The defendant was there. He came in and said he understood we had a dog, and he had not put it down. He then took my hand, and—( Witness here detailed the particulars of a very disgusting assault.)—My husband came home at half-past six, and I immediately told him what had passed. The servant of the prosecutrix and her sister slightly confirmed a part of the prosecutrix's testimony. Mr. ALDERSOY addressed the Jury at great length for the defendant, after which Mr. Baron HULLOCK summed up the cage, and the Jury found the defendant Guilty. FRIDAY, MARCH 20. James Cliffe, aged 29, stood indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Catherine Cliffe, at Manchester. Thomas Trimperly said—l keep the King's Arms, George-row, Manchester. On the evening of the 2d of January the prisoner came to my house, with about ten more. They asked for a room to themselves, and I showed them to the club-room. They had eight pots of beer.— Cliffe's wife came there about twenty minutes before ten o'clock. I showed her into the room. They came to the bar and asked me for a new year's gift. Cliffe was about half drunk. They left about 20 suinutes after 10 o'clock. I gave the deceased a light ; she went away, and returned in about 10 minutes, and asked again for a light, and said " Oh, dear ! what a man my husband is !" She appeared greatly agitated. Henry Riumier said-1 went to the King's Arms public-house, on the 2d of January, about nine o'clock in the evening. I left a little after Cliffe. His wife went out with him. I asked if I might ride his horse ;he said he must, and we both got on together. A man in company said to Cliffe, if he would get off and go home with his wife, he would treat him with a glass. He gut off, and went into the King's Arms. I rode the horse backward and forward. It was rather frightened. Cliffe's wife asked me to ride it away, and not to let Cliffe get on any more. I was told that Cliffe had walked on. I followed. I rode up, and first saw the tvatchman taking Cliffe from his wife. She was at the side of him ; I cannot say whether she wae' standing up or not. I heard her shriek. It must have come from her, as I saw him kick her several times. She was standing up when I first saw him kick her. He kicked her about the back. 1 heard the prisoner say, when the watchman separated him from his wife, and threatened to take him away. " thee, thou devil, I'll pay thee before morning ; thou think'st thou Last got off; I'll have thy life before morning." Cliffe knew what he was doing. Some one took the horse away, and I saw no more. Mr. W. Chalk—l am a surgeon at Manchester. I was called on to see the deceased. I saw her between 11 and 12 on the night of the 2d of January. She was in bed, partly dressed. She we, in a state of insensibility. There were blows and marks of violence on her head. I cannot say how they were inflicted. Kicks to the extent she received would alone havo been likely to cense death. I cannot say that any of the wounds were occasioned by a fall. The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of the murder. Mr. Justice Baxter then passed the awful sentence of death on the prisoner, whom he ordered to be executed on Monday next. • The prisoner burst into tears, and was removed frem the bar. Charles Tranor was indicted for the wilful murder of William Madder, at Manchester. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. His Loicosuir then sentenced the prisoner to be trans ported_fer life. THE LEEDS PRO-CATHOLIC AND ANTI CA•motic PETITIONS. —On Saturday evening last, the petitions from the borough of Leeds, to the two Houses of Pas liament, in favour of the Bill now before Parliament, for the settlement of the Catholic Question, bearing the signatures of 15,900 of the inhabitants, were transmitted to Earl FiTzwitr.rasr for presentation to the Liouse of Lords, and to Lord MILTON for presentation to the House of Commons. .And on Tuesday last the petition from the township or Leeds aya:nsf the Hill for the settlement of the Catholic Question, signed by 9,800 inhabitants, was transmitted to the Earl of HAREWOOD and to Mr. DUN COMM A more decisive manifestation of the preponde rance of public opinion in favour of liberal principles in this great and enlightened community it is scarcely possible to imagine, the 15,900 signatures having been obtained in little snore than two days, while the 0,899 names were not obtained in less than nearly twice that time. It is true that the liberal petaton was called the petition of the Borough of Leeds, and the illiberal one that of the Town - ship, Cot the time allowed for obtaining the signatures was so short that there was Ito opportunity for any systematic plan of circulating the liberal petition through the out townships, and all the signatures to that petition, with the exception of about 2,000, were affixed in the town of Leeds —making the majority of the friends to Catholic Emancipation something more than 14 to 10, and putting out of the consideration the important fact that twice the time was occnpied in , obtaining the entailer number than vas ricitiired . to obtain tbe larger..4eedi 2(erci4)*.. PORTSMOUTH MURDERS. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) Stacey the younger, since his imprisonment, has t 2 manifesited the slightest contrition, but has shewn the greatest indifference to h's fate. On Tuesday, in reply to a question put to him by a prisoner,. in gaol for a penalty! wilt) was watching over him, he said he would acquaint him how " the chap" told him (Stacey) he cumulate,' the murder. He got in at the back of the house. and on Charity Jolliffe opening the door with a candlestick in bet hand, he seized her throat with one of his hands, and en deavoured to place the other over her mouth, to strangle her ; that he then took the candlestick and knocked het down, and whist there beat her over the head with a long brush, until the brush part came off; that he cond' nued to beat her with the handle till that broke ; that the last words heheard her utter were, " Oh Lord ! Oh Lord! " Thinking her dead, he went up stairs to the old man, an demanded his money ; the old man struck him once of twice with his stick ; on leaving him, the old man fell out of his chair ; he then with a tiling hammer killed hint' , He came down stairs, aed finding Charity Jolliffe moving, be drew his knife and cut her throat ; whilst is this act, some one knocked at the door; he afterwaad t went up stairs again, and cut the old man's throstr took his keys from his pocket, opened the box, plundere d it of the money, and then decamped. A scene of the moat affecting description, ensued lel evening, in an interview between the younger Stacey ar! his three sisters. As soon as they entered his cell, the wretched prisoner threw himself on his knees befof o them, and asked to be forgiven. They instantly fell et theirs in great grief, and sobbed piteously. They er, joined him not to indulge in any hope that mercy wou lt i be extended to him in this world, but to endeavour to fiy? consolation in prayer, to look to Heaven for pardon. their quitting him, the prisoner bade them a lest farewel" and said that he should never see them again. The prisoners were conveyed in a chaise to Winchostar gaol this morning, at six o'clock. On the father and al meeting, the former appeared in great mental distress, a pt burst into tears. He accosted the son with, Oh Jolla' John ! what have you brought us to—you know, J° l ' 4 you have done it—you can expect nothing in this world; you know it is life fur life—confess your crime, a nd eon' vince the world I know nothing of it." Stacey, l b° younger, replied, " Father, I have said all along that yo are innocent." We understand that the prisoner h a 4 made full confession that he alone was concerned in the murder. Mr. Edward Hunt and Cox escorted the pre' soners to Winchester, and although they started at 0 early an Lour, there was a large concourse of persona ad sembled to see them set off. The following is a copy, verbat7m, of a letter written 9° Sunday, by Stacey, the younger, to his sisters : March 15, 1829.--DEAREST SISTERS.—I beg kafel trobbing you with then few lines, Dear Sisters 0 for Go d i sake Do not bear mullase Dearest Sisters heare am me O i l my Father in Full of trouble.

(From an American Paper.) The following curious advertisements will amuse our readers. The wife seems to have rather the best of the argument, and the punning terms in which she has chosen to express her ideas, as well as the comical nature of some of the ideas them selves, are very diverting. " NOTlCE.—Whereas my wife, Catherine Thoran, has this day left my bed and board without any just cause of provocation; this is therefore toforbid any person harbouring or tru , ting her on my account, as I will pay no debts hercafftir of her contrao ing. "Mobile, Sept. 22." " JEREMIAH THORAN." " To THE PUBLlC.—liaving long since deter mined to quit my present husband, Jeremiah Tho m, I this day acted in accordance to my resolution, and left him, as I trust, forever, unless Heaven, in its wrath, may condemn ruse to his company in an other state.—l don't mean in another of the United States, nor in a holy state, for in such a state I never lived ; but in a hereafter state. My husband threat, ened to advertise me, if I left him, and I presume he will not leave his threat unaccomplished, and, therefore, I make this statement that the public may be furnished with both sides of the question at the same time, and be thereby able to judge between us ; for it must be known, that my reputation is very dear to me, inasmuch as it cost me a _great deal of trouble to get what little I am possessed of. " The house he took me to. when we were first married he had told me so many stories about that I thought it had at least, three etorie.s, and it all was a mere story. He had promised me fine furniture, and when I pined for it he got me a pine table, and beat me with the legs; he had not a chair in the . house, and never even furnished me with a stool, except the stool of repentance. I never drank froM a cup of his, except the cup of sorrow. There was not a window in his house, except in winter, and then there was wind—oh ! enough._ There was not a sheet in his house fit for a winding sheet for one who had died in a fit, and he was always complain ing I.took airs upon myself, when he is the father of every heir I have. " It must be perceived that I have been a shock ingly abused woman. Only last Saturday night he came reeling and fiddling up to me and requested to know what he should send out to the shop and get for supper for me and the children, and to last over Sunday. I told hint a cent's worth of snuff, a biscuit, a candle, and-a pint of rum. Now, I al most Eve upon stuff, anti he refused it ; and it is too much for flesh and blood to bear. My blood is turned to ink, and there's ' hardly an-atom of my anatomy,' and I do believe, if I was dead and pro perly dried, an old-fashioned snuff-taker might take my remains at a pinch. He got in a Ina about the snuff,Nnd was just as ill-bred concerning the bread. He said no light woman should have a candle, but should go to heti without one; and in respect to the rum alone was willing to yield the pint. " He probably will say I left his bed and board. I assure the public he had nothing for a bed but a board; and that is no better than lying out when I was on the point of lying-in. No longer ago than yesterday he promised to buy me a soft-straw bed to lie upon ; but I found his promise all straw, or rather hint all promises and no straw, and all about the lying on a soft straw bed was a hard lie on his foul tongue. Since.his ashes must make strong lye, when he is condemned to be hung, and, to give the devil his due, the time must be near at hand, I ad vise him to sell his carcase in anticipation to some soap-boiler. " He may say he will pay no : debts of my con tracting. He is a false loon for this insinuation, if lie does. I have always enlarged and swelled every debt I owed as much as in my power. I was never known to diminish or contract one in my life, and with this not one of my creditors will charge me, to judge of their late reluctance t 9 charge me with ether art:eles. 4 In iuoclusion, like - a dutiful wife I have left no .stone unturned to please my husband; but I have, .finally, borne with him till it is past endurance; and as there is a hole even in the holy lock of wedlock, and the legislature have a key to it, I am determined to be divorced. " Respectfully, CATHERINE THORAN. " Mobile county, Sept. 22." There is a project on foot at Paris of forming a cemetety after the manner of the ancient pyramids, c Table of containing 5,000,000 bodies. Curious DISCOVERY.—Ltst week, as the workmen were making some alterations in the house lately occupied by Mr. APerman IltrArtoN, in High Ouxegate, they found an implement of polished bone, in form some what resembling- a spear or arrow-head, about three inches in length ; and also two other polished bones, about eight inches long, made into the form of a skate, and turned up at the end, which might be supposed to extend lreyond the toe. At the thicker end of these bones is a hole perforated, anti the end is formed as if to receive a cord or wire to attach it to some other apparatus; but there being no apparent means of fastening the other end to the foot, we are inclined notwithstandiq their form, to suppose that they have not been intended for the purposes of sliding. It may be remembered, that in digging for the foundation of the new houses erected in Davygate, on the ancient site of Davy-hall, several pins were found which were made of polished bone, together with other implements, which had in all probability been used in some work or manufacture. May not these, therefore, likewise have been put in requisition for mere useful ser vices than the offensive one of annoyance, or the, amusing one Of skating York Courrpit. LAWS RESPECTING BILLS OF EX CHANGE IN. RUSSIA. The following was . sent yesterday morning by the Russia Company to the Baltic Coffee-house : " An Ukase of his Imperial Majesty to the Di recting Senate, dated 4th September, states— " That the Minister of Finance having propnscd same additional regulations in the use of stamp pa pers for bills drawn on foreign countries, the mca sure was examined by the Imperial Council and approved of, as facilitating transactions in foreign bilk, and securing their.validity. In consequence, We order, Ist. That bills issued within the empire on foreign commercial houses shall he written on legal stamps, and the price thereof be reduced to one half of that used for inland bills,.viz., Foreign bills may be mitten on a 3-ruble stamp to the amount of 2,000 rubles, instead of 1,000 rubles ; and on a 6-ruble stamp the sum of 6,000 rubles, instead of 3,000 rubles, and so on. " 2dly. Bi!ls remitted from abroad to merchants in this cirwire shall be accepted on a stamp m con formity to the amount, and according to the above scale. " 3dly. In consequence cf this reduction, all bills drawn in Russia on other countries shall be ,written on legal stamps, and - the following penalties are to be levied for not conforMing thereto : " If it is discovered, by whatever means, that bills drawn in the empire have been written on un stamped paper, or on stamps of less value than the law requires, then, besides rendering the whole transaction invalid, the person so transgressing shall be fined in ten times the amount of the value of the stamped paper required, or in ten times the differ ence of the stamp used. " The same refers to foreign bilis when accepted on the original draft, or with 2d, 3d, or 4th bills, without the first. " Brokers and notaries admitting the drawing or accepting of bilk without stamps, shall be forthwith deprived of their situations; and if the stumps are of less value than requited, they shall be fined in ten times the amount of the difference. " This Ukase shall be put in force from the 25th clay of September, 1829." EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

There was only a moderate show of New Wheat,. and not so..much disposition manifested to- purchase ria,tle week, the late wet weather hai caused the . Wheat to gfai way in condition, and the general 'runs to-day were soft and damp ; the best samples supported late prices ; if sales were pressed on other qualities lower prices most have been the consequence. A very limited business passing is Old foreign 'Wheats . , and prices generally without altera tion. Very little doing in Oats, - and no then:flea is prices. Brani are dull sale, at a decline of le. per quar ter ; several parcels of New offering at low prices, in cansectience of their want of condition. Pease for grind ing are in moderate request at late prices. There was a fair show of B:riey from our own neighbourhood ; sta'ned parcels sell at 275. to 28s. per quat ter ; wh;le those of finer qu dity make 30s. Our rualtsters are generally be ginning, to work, and a fair exter.t of business has been done. Rapeseed and Linseed are both dull sale, and not, much ba , iness transacting in either article.

The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Turn pike Trusts North of the River Tharnzs, held v. public meeting yesterday at their offices in White hall-place, for the purpose of letting by public sale the several Trusts, pursuant to the Act of Parlia ment passed in 3,1 of Geo. IV. for regulat►ng Turnpike Roads. The meeting was fully attended, and at 12 o'clock Lord Lowther took the chair. The first lot offered was the Lea Bridge Tolls, forming the 16th district of the Metropolitan Roads. The COMMISSIONUIS informed the bidders that there was no alteration in the bars. These tolls last year were let for 2,0851.; they were now put up at 1,800/., and Mr. Levy, the well-known toll-collec tor, led the bidding', und, after a very smart com petition, the lot was knocked down at 1,995/. being 901. less than last •ear's rent. The second lot com prised the toil" on the Kilburn or Edgware-road, with that part of the rolarfebone roads from the carriage bridge over the Regent's Canal. The taxed price of these was 1,2001., sod they were knock, d down at 1,3001., being 2564 under the sum obtained ast year. The third Trust put up was denominated it e Lower Uxbridge-road. These tolls were put up at 2,8001. Before the bidding commenced, Mr. Levy said it would be but fair and candid, on the part of the Commissioners, to inform the public what these tolls produced last year. The CO . MMISSIONERS having consulted together, overruled the question ; but, as the biddings pro ceeded, the question was again repeated. The bid dings proceeded briskly until 3,1051. were offered, when an additional Si. were offered ; but it was contended that the bid was too late, the glass hav ing run out. The lot was "gain put up, and, after an hour and a half's competition, the lot was knocked down at 3,400/. The fourth lot comprised the Brentford-bridge tolls, Cranford-bridge tolls, and the senral roads on the Isleworth trust. They were put up at 9,600/., and were knocked down at 7,970/, The Harrow Trusts and other lots put up brought nearly last year's prices. The sale was not ovcr till long past fire o'clock. The produce generally was much less than last year. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yestectlay afternoon, at two o'clock, an inquest was held before Mr. Thos. STIRLING, Coroner,, at the Blue Lion, Gray's-inn-road, to inquire trucking the death of Jane Violetta Nottley, aged 20, a very fine voting woman, who destroyed herself by taking oxalic acid. Ann Davis, aged 16, living at No. 102, Guii. ford -street, Russell-square, sworn—The deceased was my fellow -servant, and corresponded with a young man, out of the house, to whom she almost 'daily sent letters, which I wrote for her. Sha con tinued to correspond w;th the young man until she left the service of Mr. Clewes, of Guilford -street, this day fortnight ; since which time I have.not seen her. She was dismissed from her situation for some misconduct. I know nothing of the death of the deceased; but in one of her last letters which I wrote. for her, she reproached the young tran with unkind behaviour towards her, and said that "if he in the least slighted her, a watery grave should be her doom." I heard her one day say, on seeing a razor in her drawer, " I have a razor when I wish to put an end to myself." Deceased and my fellow servant at once exclaimed, "God forbid I should do that." When I have been out with the children at walk, and with the deceased, we have met the young man with whom she corresponded frequently in company with other females. His name is Wm. 13elsham, and I believe he follows the business of a gardener, but he was out of employment all the time the deceased knew Iti.n. Rose Anna Lewington, of No. 6, Wilson's-place, Gray's-inn-road, sworn—The deceased lodged in the same house with me, after leaving her place; and the man Belsham lodged in a top room of the same house. I did not observe whether they went out frequently together. On Saturday night the deceased's sister desired me to make some gruel for the deceased, who was unwell, and I did so. When I handed the gruel to the deceased, she went, as I thought, to her box, and afterwards got into bed.— I then left the room, and was called in a few minutes after by the deceased's sister, who exclaimed, " For .God's sake go up to her." When I went up the deceased appeared sick and looked very ill. I asked her if she had taken anythimr. Deceased replied she had. In answer to another question, she said she had not purchased it that day—she had it in-her possession. She then exclaimed " Oh, my. mother!" and" Pray fur me." Deceased did not .say what she had taken. A medical man was instantly sent for, and the deceased was alive when he came, but she expired in leis than half an hour. The de. ceased had previously been low in her spirits. Isaaellorson, a lodger in the same house, slept with Belsham, who about half past nine o'clock On Saturday night suddenly leaped out of hed, exclaim ing, "Jane has poisoned herself." He shortly after returned to ‘ bed, saying, " she had injured herself," and went out to fetch her father and mother. Had heard quarrek between the deceased and Belsham. A ring bad been purchased for their marriage. . William Belsham, who appeared to be ahout nineteen years of age, was here brought before the Jury, and being cautioned by the Cormier, did not know of the deceased's intention to poison herself, but feared something of the kind would baopen. The Jury, after a brief address from the Coro ner, returned a .verdict—" That the deceased poi soned herself while under th-e iaduence of temporary COAL MAR Adair's 31 0 Clavering 33 0 - Dean's Prirar05e.........».....30 0 liebtourn Main 31 0 linty 3 4, 6 Killingwerth l 9 Kenton West 13) .

We would ish to draw the attention of those who tem, by a fair competition, remedy the evil, to the unreasonable prices which the public in London arc paying for these two necessary articles of life. Of cheese, it is well known that none of a good quality is to be obtained under 91 a pound, and that, at many shops, Is. a pound, and even more, is charged foran article no better; while, at the great fairs, such as needn't!, Weyhill, &c., from which the London market is principally supplied, 4d., 5d., and at most 6d. a pound has been obtained for prime dairies, which, after allowing a large profit, would make 7d. and Bd. a pound the highest prices which 'ought to be paid by the consumer. At Newbury fair, last week, about 60 toes of cheese were pitched, which fetched the following prices :—Half Coward, 20s. to 265. (not 3d. a pound) ; thin, 265. to 345.; Loaf, 40s. to 465. per cwt.; and at these prices much was left unsold. At Romsey fair, in the same week, the prices were, for Skim Cheese, 18s. to 225.; Half Coward, 30s. to 425.; White Somerset and North Wells, 40s. to 455.; Red Somer.ct 50s. to 58s. Per butter, London families have been paying winter prices during the whole summer ; 16d. per pound having been the price at which most families are served, though the same article (dilly fetches ed. end Bd. a pound at many plaoes within forty and fifty miles of the metropolis. The prices, perhaps, are—indeed we know they ruinously low to the agriculturist; but if they are thus low to the producer, why th - ey should continue thus high to the consumer, is an anomaly which we have not the skill to um avel.

At a meeting of the Astronomical Society on Friday last, the President (Mr. South) announced that he fool succeeded in purchasiug two of the largest object-glasses that had ever been made. One of these was of nearly twelve ladies in diameter, end had already been mounted as a telescope at Paris : the other above thirteen inches. it is well known that the Royal Society has been, for a long time past, endeavouring to procure glass to be made in this country for such purposes, but without suc cess ; and Mr. South has all along been of opinion that it would be much better to procure the article ready made to our hands, than to waste so much time and money itt.useless efforts—particularly when it is well known that glass of a much superior kind was trade on the Continent than has hitherto been manufactured in England. The object-glass in question was mounted as a telescope at, tie Roya' Observatory at Paris, and the French Government had expended .500!. sterling in the purchase of a stand for it, so colossal are its dimensions; but they were too parsimonious to purchase the object-glass itself, which belonged to the optician who made it. A private individual, therefore, has in the mean time stepped in and run away with the prize, which the French Government pretended they could not afford to pay for; and it is now about to be set up in Mr. South's observatory at Kensington—cer tainly one of the most splendid things of this kind, and one of the roost powerful telescopes in this or any other country. This telescope was so cele brated at Paris that parties from the 'I huileries used to be made to visit it soon after every new moon, when the weather was favourable—that being an object which most generally attracts admiration. Those parties can now only look through an empty tube. Mr. South paid a just tribute of respect to our Government (and particularly to the Duke of Wellington), who afforded him every feciliEy for bringing -these object-glasses into the country, not only free from examination at the Custom-house, but also free from all duty. PARIS COURT OF ASSIZES. CASE OF MR. ANDREWS. We gave some time ago an account of the adven tures of an Irishman, who, having arrived in Paris in June last, without knowing the language, was conducted to a house of ill-fame, and there was kept till his expellees amounted to 1,500 francs (or 601.), about 450 of which were for champagne. In this abode, or at his ledgingss to which he was brought in a state of intoxication, he lost bank-notes to a much huger amount, fig the stealing of which Begin (his landlord) and his wife are about to receive their sentence. Andrews, who comes forward, not as a criminal prosecutor, but as a civil party, demanding his property, appeared on Friday before the Court of Assizes to prefer his claim. His entrance into the Court is said to have excited a lively curiosity. He is described as a man about forty, a merchant, usually residing in London,—a man of spare figure, of bent form . , trembling on long and thin legs, and apparently worn out by long excesses. He passel the hall in the midst of all the spectators, whose looks were directed upon him, without any indica tion that his temper or his phlegm was in the least disturbed. Ile took his place beside his advocate, M. Theodore Perrin. The President interrogated separately the husband and wife Begin, who de clared that they only obeyed the .commands of Mr. Andrews in depositing in the hands of third parties some of the money which this Irishman freely spent with them for his own pleasure. They !elated some of the occurrences which took place on the occasion of his entering the house. He arrived about mid night on the 7th of June, with a woman of the town called the Polish girl. He sat up and drank till two o'clock in the morning; Begin was afraid that he would not pay : but the Polish girl said, " Fear nothing.; it is I that pay ; that is my man here." Begin added that Andrews stayed voluntarily at her house; that she registered his arrival, received his passport and a roll of paper, which she afterwards found was bank-notes. An drews went down in the middle of the night to search for —, and it was said that he was run ning off; but the landlady brought him back. In the morning he spoke of his notes. Begin showed them to him. They amounted to 67,000 francs in 11 notes. The Irishman wished to change one of them for 1,000 francs. Begin said that he went with it to aM. Dagiucourt, to get it changed. The latter having jested with him on the subject of his wealth, received. for answer, that the Irishman offer ed the note for Begirt's daughter. Dagiricourt on this consented to change some of the notes, but two days afterwards returned in company with his brother-in-law, a M. Boursier, to say that the notes were stolen. Andrews was then heard,:who re counted the story of his meeting with time woman of the town—described how he was carried to Begin's —how after dinner, he could with difficulty walk— how he was kept at Begin's against his will—how he was deprived of his clothes, and compelled to exchange bank-notes for 50,000 francs, of which he was robbed to the amount of 17,500. The Presi dent of the Court asked Mr. Andrews why he did not not call out of the window ? The plaintiff re plied, because he wished to escape without being known (making use of the word reconnaisance, which means gratitude for being known). Various wit nesses were then examined ; amongst the rest the prostitutes who attended the disgusting orgies of Andrews. The syren, called La Polonaise, who bewitched Andrews into this den, is 17 years of age, and is described as being very ugly. All the other girls were likewise heard. They declared that they were in the bed-room of the plaintiff ; and M. Begin attested that he saw them grouped round his bed. The PRESIDENT (to Begin)—Were you a wit ness to these infamies ?—Not altogether. These women mentioned that Begin paid them by the orders of Andrews, who allowed that he had seen several of them in the house, though he de clared that he had no intercourse with any of them. Newer did the Court of Assize listen to such dis gusting details—to such accounts of depravity. The Commissary of Police of the quarter being examined declared that Begin's Louse waa one of the most frightful in his district. Begin expl.dned his cons'ant attendance on An drews, by declaring that he was afraid the Irishman would cut his throat, if he sound an opportunity by being left alone. Andrews often said, " I shall he to-morrow at the Morgue. `Vail yott come and see me at the Morgue," (a place where dead bodies are exposed, in order to be recognized and claimed) After hearing the Advocates on both sides, with the summing up of the Judge, the prisoners, Begin and his wife, were condemned to five years' impri sonment, and the restitution of Andrews's property. SUICIDE OF THE REV. W.M. This unhappy gentleman, who, our readers will woollect, was tried and convicted at the Summer Assizes of 1827, before the Chief Baron 0 1 G4 ,any, of having fired at the Rev. Dr. CoLlaNs, of Skibbereen, with inttnt to kill hilt', and upon whom s , ntonce of death was recorded, but who was subsequently respited, in consequence of labouring un der insanity, was found this morning by the turnkey Fa , - perded front one of the window-bars of his wit, with a sienicr string of the tick of his bed tied about hi s neck.

A SUB-MARINE TALE. We extract the following from a work lsteiy published by Lieutenant Hardy, R.N., a coths • missioner for the company funned to fish for' pearls and coral in the gulf of California : " The oyster secures itself so firmly to the rocks by-its beard that it requires no little force' . to take it away; and, as its external surface is full of sharp pohits, the hands are soon severely cut by them. The effect. of the buoyancy of the water is also curious. At the depth of seven or . eight fathoms it requires exertion to keep down, and, if you then attempt to lay hold on a rock with the hands, eou find yourself, as it were, suspended ; so that if you let go your hold you" will immediately tumble upwards I rememher, the first oyster I ever met with was the depth of four fathoms only ; my head was almost tonehies; it ; and, forgetting in my pleasure to strike one with my legs, as I stretched forward my !lend mo catch hold of the prize, to my astonishment th,. oyster slipped from my grasp, and I found my self at the surface of the water the next instant ; so that I had all my labour for nothing. .So firmly does the Oyster fix himself to the rock that, in order to tear him away, it -is necessary , to get a purchase' upon him by placing the feet on the bottom. The excessive. difficulty (If • doing this is incredible: it requires the museim- . lar strength of the whole body to overcome the resistance of the water's buoyancy. I have no • doubt that, by means of its long beard, the oys ter has the power of locomotion, and thet it changeseits situation according to its pleasure or convenience. One principal object of inquiry, however, was obtained, namely, the trudsituation of the shells under water. I found that I hail been in a complete error in supposing. them formed in beds, that is, .in heaps, as the word bed would seem to indicate. With this impres sion I left England, and continued in it till I lied now convinced myself, by actual- invesoigatihn. of the error into which I had been led by every body with whom I had conversed on the subjeot indeed, a moment's reflection would have pointed out the impossibirity of the oysters being piled in heaps together in this gulf. This fish always seeks for tranquillity, which it could never find in situations exposed to currents and motions occasioned by the inundation of the water. I always found them in sheltered bays, the bottoms of which were covered with large rocks. Tids brings me to consider the reason why a divitT bell, at least in the Gulf of California, can never be profitably applied. After reaching the bot tom, if the greater surface be considered bottom, there are very frequently found chasms ill the rock below, which extend from one or two, or even to three, fathoms lower. It is down these apertures that the diver may most generally exs. pect to meet with oysters, which even here eon ceal themselves in the cavities of the rock ; and as the power of vision fails in so dceso a me dium, particularly if the depth be considerable and the surface rough, the diver is ob:igsd insert not his band only, but even his head, into every hole and corner, like a person groping about in the dark, holding on time while by time points of the rock to prevent his rising to the top, u consequence of the water's buoyancy at the depth, for example, of seven or eight fathoms, beyond which I cannot speak from experience. The perception of objects under water at this depth is very indistinct, and their magnitude is aug mented, so that a very small shell appears rjt large dimensions, and the diver is frequently mortified by the discovery of the mistake wheii he rises. Under the influence of hop e th e diver is insensible to danger, although he sees himself surrounded by sharks of prodigious ma&- nitude. Armed with his short stick* he const ders the invasion of so formidable an enemy's domains as unworthy of a moment's hesitation.,, sooner Anxious to grasp the prize he nays little re'h t • d which lie descended to the price of its atta a i sl m fi n il e re n: te , possesses than he is ready to fight tiles v ( v )i lie t n he the fin l :l l ) c; ri r s ' o 'c n e. w fins of sharks rising above time sanface of the water ; and armed only in the way I have de scribed I thought myself nerFs.ctly secure from molestation ; notwithstanding they were swim ming round me in all directions, at no greater distance than a few fathoms, I condnued my pursuits with the greatest sang .froid. I should no more be capable, in my cool moments of re fiestion, of braving this inconceivably horrible danger, where I might have been mangled a nd torn to pieces by one of these implacable mon ' sters, than of entering time tiger's den before his breakfast at Exeter-change." "stoutest " This stick is about t:,in o ; ric h e s l on g, and is poitifnA at both ends.

THE WEST INDIA TRADE. We announced some days ago that apprehen sions were entertained that our Government were seriously thinking of throwing open the West India trade to the United States. There is now no doubt, extraordinary as it may appear, that such is the fact. The negociations upon this subject have been going on sub rosa for some . months. Letters from New York, dated the 15th of October, have been received, begging for introductions to West India houses, " as the re- Ltrietions," say the writers, " on our trade to the West India islands are likely soon to be re- moved." Thus we see that this all-important question, to some of the first interests of the state, is kept a profound secret in England, till it creeps out, as it were, by accident ; while in America, the thing has been known for at least three months. The business is to be canvassed and decided upon ; but they who are most in terested in it are not permitted to know any thing about it. Our North American colonists felt assured, after Mr. Canning's letter and Mr. Hus kisson's speech on the Tariff, last Session, that they should, at any rate, be allowed to enjoy the West India trade for a considerable lime, and they consequently commenced extensive esta blishments, built warehouses, equipped ships, and in every way exerted themselves to take advantage of the privilege. All their exertions, however, it would seem, are to be sa crificed to the conciliating system, the object of which appears to be neither more nor less than the promotion of foreign interests at the ex pense of our own. It may be too, that the mea sure now to be repealed is not a favourite with the present Ministry, because it proceeded from Mr. Canning ; but we can scarcely believe that they can be actuated by any such paltry motives. Certain it is, however, that those measures in which they themselves acquiesced, such as the Free Trade system, and the suppression of the one-pound notes, though proved to be highly pernicious, must not be touched, and for no other reason, as we have good authority for thinking, but because Ministers are determtned to preserve their consistency. One would ima gine, that after the sacrifice of consistency which some of them have made with regard to the Roman Catholic question, they ought to be very delicate on that point. A Correspondent ob serves, " it is probable that Mr. Rush, though not a member of the present Government of the United States, who was over here before Jack- Son was in power, must have been feeling his way, and that, true to the Yankee sys tem, he did not lose sight of his national inte rest, because a change was about to take place in his Government." But, be this as it may, it is quite evident the Americans have bee n a t work with some effect ; and it is high time that those British merchants more immediately inte rested in this truly national question should bestir theMselves. We believe that a de putatiqn has waited upon Mr. Fitzgerald upon the subject, but how they were received, or what took place upon the occasion, we have no means of ascertaining. Report however says that the audience with the great man was by no means satisfactory, and that no positive information as to the intentions of Government could be ob tained. The trade carried on between Canada and the West India Colonies has already become very extensive, and is greatly on the increase. The 'following is a list of imports of West India prOduce at Quebec only, from the opening of the navigation, the end of April, to the 23d of Sep tember this year, and exports of provisions and staves within the same period last year. This list, it ought to be observed, refers only to the port of Quebec, and, therefore, forms only a portion of the exports and imports of our North American colonies. It is true that the whole of the imports may not have come direct from the West Indies, nor may the whole of the staves and provisions have been exported there ; as, however, there are no means of separating them, Re give the list as it is.

Staves and Heading —4,151,033 Bawds and ...... 91'5,231 It shou:3 be recollected that the trade be tween the West Indies and our North Arne , rican colonies is a barter trade, and, as such, ex. ceedingly valuable. The North American co lonists take provisions, boards, and staves, and bring back rum, sugar, and molasses. The United States trade is of a different nature alto gether. They take boards; staves , p rovisions, and " notions," which they cell for cash, and then go to the Danish and other islands ; and pur chase their cargoes at cheaper rates than they buy of our colonists, and sail with them to European ports, thus draining our islands of specie, getting all the freights of the produce of other settle ments, and interfering with us in the ultimate market. The United States do not now want sugar for home consumption, because they grow it in more than sufficient quilt - ides on the Mis eippi. Cargoes, indeed, have actually appeared at 5-I,=burg of American growth, shipped at New Orlea4 - 3s. These are facts—and Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald wishes to be considered a ill Eal Of facts—these are facts which the Board of Trade should not Jose sight of. If the West India Colonies are to be drainita of specie, of course they will have no cant to buy English manufactured goods with. The woe. no doubt, for throwing open the trade, is the opening a market, by the amelioration of the American tariff, for British manufactures. But are not the Americans similarly situated with re gard to the major part of those articles as they are with regard to West India sugars ? Can they not, or rather do they not, produce' the greater part of the manufactured goods them selves ? The Government will find that they are greatly mistaken if they imagine that an ex tetwye trade will ever again be carried on be tween America and this country. It is nonsense to suppose that Congress will modify the tariff to such au extent as to materially benefit this country. In justice to their own manufacturers they cannot do it. We have no doubt, however, that some modification of the tariii is contem plated the next Sasaion of Congress ; bat, we itepeat, it is ridiculous to imagine that any thing of the kind will be done for 04,:r benefit. They have made an attempt at universal manufacture, which they have found to be impracticabie. The consequence will be, that the protection will be taken from those few articles which they cannot protect with advantage, but the importation of those which they can, will still be prevented by prohibitory duties. Of this we may be assured, that whatever they do, they will do for their own benefit, not for ours.. The Yankees know nothing of reciprocity etcept that kind which i's all on their own side.-- orning Herald. 1.1 , Ly. LONDON , THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1829. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in town, at eleven o'clock this morning, from the seat of the Marquis of SALISIKRY, at Hatfield, Herts The French Papers of Tuesday have been received this morning by express, from which the following are extracts :--- (From the Messager des Chambres of Taeeday..—Second Edition.) FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, OCT. 23. On the 21st a fire broke out at Bucharest in a house IFeri for a military magazine, which destroyed military store;; Ap the amount of 100,000 rubles in bank notes.

The etnticoal eyehange of curer showg that political negotiations are continued a ith some activity. There is no doubt that the treaty of Adrianople will be followed by numerous important results, especially the determination of the future fate of Greece. Every thing that transpires relative to these negotiations convinces us that they are of a friendly and pacific character, and that no trace of acri mony appears in the language of the Courts as some Jour. nals would make us believe. (From the Gazette de France of Tuesday.) TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. BOURDNAUX, NOV. 16. The Prefect of the Gironde to Count de la Boor donnaye—" M. Bose has been elected Deputy by the College of the Gironde. Out of 580 votes M. Bose ob tained 270, and the Mayor of Bourdeaux 257." On this occasion twenty-five Royalists neglected to have their names inscribed on the list of electors, and thirty who bad inscribed their names did not go to the College. We hope that this lesson will not be lost on any new election. Thus of seven elections which have taken place since the appointment of the present Ministry, four are in favour of Royalist opinions, and three of the Liberal side. No new election can take place in consequence of a resignation, before they are communicated to the Minister of the Interior.

VIENNA, Nov. 7.—Metalliques, 1031; Bank Shares, Brussels, Prussian, and German Papers have been received, but their contents are not particu larly interesting. The Austrian Observer pub- lishes the Protocol of the Conferences at Lon don, of the 16th November, 1828; together with the annexed documents, all of which ap peared in the Allgemeine Zeitung of June last, and other papers. 'rule Duke of BRUNSWICK 'IS, we presume, going to take to the stage ; for we learn from the Dusseldorf Journal, that his Highness has lately issued a mandate prohibitin, the writing of any criticism on the theatre of that city, either for the hoine or foreign Journals. Perhaps the Duke is to play Othello. The Emperor of RUSSIA has been pleased to allow the Academy of Sciences to import books, instruments, and other things, relative to the promotion of learning, duty free. This is politic as well as liberal. In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States-General on the 12th, the question of the admissibility of M. BRUGMANS as member of the Chamber, was discussed and decided against the report of a Committee, the majority of which had judged him eligible ; 45 members voted against the re port, and 41 for it : the election of M. BURG MANS was therefore declared void. By our advices from Madrid to the 6th inst., we learn that Don MIGUEL had created M. d'AcosTA, the Spanish Ambassador at Lisbon, a Grandee of Portugal, in consequence of his services in procuring the acknowledgement of Don MIGUEL as King. Don PEDRO LABRADOR had been named Ambassador from Spain to the Court of Naples. Shocks of earthgnake continued to be felt on the Spanish coasts of the Mediterranean. It appears by the following, from our Paris Correspondent, that there is no doubt of M. LA BOURDONNAYE retiring from the Ministry. His loss will, we apprehend, be a source of strength to M. POLIGN AC ; but we do not see how the latter can hope to carry on the Govern ment with a bare six of a majority : " PARIS, NOV. 17. " The retirement from the Ministry of M. de la Bourdonnaye, although not yet officially announced, seems now to be placed beyond all question. The Gazette of last night, which is in general so for ward to contradict any similar rumour, in place of declaring his demission to be an error of the jour nals, or a lie of the day, says what seems to amount to a tacit, if not a positive, admission of its truth : " If the Minister of the Interior leave the Ca " binet, the act will be the result of his own will "' only, and not any concession of Royalty to re " volution. " Whatever may take place, the system will cer " tainly not be changed; the Ministry will not " depart from the Monarchical line, the only one " 4 which can be followed by the King, and by the " two other legislative powers.' " The Quotidienne of this morning is equally cau tious. After quoting an article from the Constitu tionnel, containing the statement of M. de la Bour donnaye's retirement, and ending with an expres sion of the writer's hope that the man of categories as he is called, was at length about to ' to do hint-, " 4 self justice,' the Quotidienne contents himself with saying : " We affirm nothing as to this intelligence, for " we have not, like the liberal journals, the privi " ' lege of listening at the door of the Council "' chamber ; but at all events we would remark to " the Constitutionnel that it is very bad taste, in " announcing a man's retirement to conclude with 4 ' abusing him.' " Even the Drapeau Blanc, the most violent supporter of the ultra Royalist party, at the end of a long tirade in his paper of this morning against his Constitutional antagonists, observes : " Let the factious resign their revolutionary doc " trines, and M. de la Bourdonnaye will resign his " ' functions.' " The immediate causes of M. de la Bourdon nave's retirement are variously reported ; but that which has obtained the most general belief is, that the vital question, whether the Ministry could corn marod an effectual majority in the Chamber of De puties, having been agitated in the Cabinet, the Minister of the Interior had given it as his opinion, that with the present Chamber it was impossible, but that he would undertake to answer for the issue of an appeal to the constituent body by a general election. His voice was therefore for an immediate dissolution, while all his colleagues were of opinion that the Chambers should not be dissolved till after the opening of the Session, when it could be ascer tained whether so strong a measure was necessary to the existence of the Ministry. Some say that the Prince de Poligna,z s confident of a majority in the present Chamber, and that be has calculated his strength with so much nicety, as to be able to reckon on a balance of six voices in his favour. " Another account is, that a proposal had been made in the Cabine: to revive the office of President of the Council, in the person of the Prince de Po.l lignac, and that M. de la Bourdonnaye had opposed himself to the measure, saying in his peculiar man ner, that he would have no other chief Lut the King, that with reference to each other the Mini sters should all be on a footing of perfect equality, and that it was obvious his own views were per fectly disinterested, as at the period of the accession of the present Cabinet to power, he might himself have had the title of President of the Council, but that he had not chosen to accept it. It is added, that M. de la Bourdonnaye has refused the Peerage which has been offered him on his retirement, say ing that he would continue to occupy his old place at the extreme right of the Chamber of Deputies. " As to the succession to the vacancy which has thus arisen, there is of course a variety of rumours afloat. The accession of M. de Martignac to the Ministry is spoken of in some circles with consider able confidence, but as that would infer a change of measures as well as men, I can see nothing to war rant the supposition, in the deference which has been paid to public opinion, by parting with M. de la Bourdonnaye. It is stated, with more appear ance of foundation, that the vacancy will be sup plied by some internal change in the Cabinet itself, such as. that M. de Montbel, the Minister of Public Instruction, will assume the portfolio of the Home Department, and be replaced in his present office by M. de Vitrolles; or that M. d'Haussez, the Mini ster of Marine, will be appointed to the vacant office, and be replaced by M. Beugnot, who occu pied the Department of the Navy at the period of Napoleon's triumphal march to Paris, from his first place of exile in the island of Elba. M. Beugnot is acknowledged to be a man of talent, and it is said by some that he will himself be appointed to the Ministry of the Interior. " The Electoral College of Bordeaux has, it ap pears, by a telegraphic communication, returned M. J. J. Bose, the Constitutional candidate, as the De puty for the department of the Gironde, in the room of M. Havez, who has been elevated to the Peerage. The Mayor of Bordeaux, the Ministerial candidate, had 257 votes, while M. Bose had 270. " It appears by private letters from St. Peters burgh, of the 31st of October, that Count Die bitsch has been authorised by the Emperor of Rus sia to deliver the passports required by Halil Nadia in proceeding on his extraordinary mission to the Russian Government. This simple announcement has, it appears, given rise at St. Petersburgh to a great variety of conjectures as to the probable suc cess of the Turkish Ambassador in the object of his mission ; but since it is scarcely possible to con ceive a satisfactory reason for refusing the passports demanded, the fact of their having been granted seems to afford but a slender basis for the conjectural superstructure which have been raised upon it. " Lord Stuart de Rothesay had a private audi ence of the King of France on Sunday, to deliver the answer of his Sovereign to the letter by which the Prince de Polignac was recalled from the em bassy to London. " It was stated a few days ago, in a Calais News paper, the Propagaleur du pas de Calais, that the contraband goods introduced into France, with the effects of the Prince de Polignac, had been sent back to England. This statement was repeated on Sunday last, by the Conslilulionnil, who argued that the re-exportation of the prohibited articles was illegal, as their sale to the profit of the Treasury was formally prescribed by law. In answer to this statement, a letter from the Marquis de Vaulchier, the Director-General of the Customs, appeared in the Constitutionnel of yesterday, asserting that the original averment was totally unfounded, and add ing, that the prohibited articles, concealed by " 4 faithless agents among the effects of the Prince "' de Polignac, had all been seized with a view to " judicial confiscation; and that they would be " exposed to sale after the lapse of the period no "' quired by law. " With reference to the accident which befel Mr. Ellis,theEnglish Vice-Consul at Tangiers,a few days ago, by falling into the sea at the moment of his embarking on board a French frigate at Cadiz, it is stated in the Quolidienne of this morning, that, in place of causing his death, as had been apprehended, the accident, on the contrary, had operated a perfect cure of all the complaints, physical as well as moral, with which the Vice-Consul had been previously affected." A report has been in circulation within these last few days that Ministers intend to rescind the law which restrains Country Bankers from issuing one pound notes. We have not been able to trace the report to any authentic source, and we are inclined to look upon it as one of the many stories which are periodicallfraunched previously to the meeting of Parliament. Had the measure been one upon which great differ ence of opinion had existed, there might have been grounds for a change of policy, but when Parliament, after the most mature deliberation, thought it due to the best interests of the country to agree, almost unanimously, to annihilate the Small Currency, it is not very likely that it should turn suddenly round upon its own de cisions. At the same time we are not insen sible to the fact that the measure has been pro ductive of a great deal of embarrassment amongst dealers in the country who feel themselves sud denly deprived of that accommodation upon which they were wont to rely. We deny, however, that the distress now prevailing is solely to be attributed to the Small Note Bill ; and we regret to see many of our provincial cotem poraries throwing dust in the eyes of their readers, and telling them that a Bank Restriction Bill, and the repeal of the Bill of 1825, are the true remedies for this distress. Is it possible that persons so well informed can recommend such remedies ? Even Mr. HORACE HERBERT himself, who tells us, that in the Act of the 7th of GEO. IV., cap. 6—Le gislation has run mad, and that having once fixed upon a standard, Parliament has no right to interfere in the obligations between one indi vidual and another--even this warm and, we be lieve, conscientious apologist of the one-pound note system Imould be ashamed to lend himself to such delusion. A very few weeks, however, will con vince the publi c th a t his Majesty's Govern ment have no serious intention again to disturb the Currency, or if they do that the change I I m ust arise from a thorough conviction of its in ! FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPER (Prom Cie Gazette de France , REVIEW OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. PARIS, Nov. 16. We have collected all the articles published to-day relatively to the Council of Ministers which was held yesterday evening. It is fdse that animated debates took place; that M. de Chabrol :o be replaced by an Under-Secre tary of State ; that the question ascribed to the King was put to a Minister, as the Journal des Debats pretends. How shall we believe that the details of a council, which is stated not to have finished till eleven o'clock at night, could be published the next morning at six o'clock. The differences which are to be observed in the accounts given by the four Journals, prove that they are ill informed, or lather that they are not informed at all. Never has a Council suffered less to transpire of the secret of its deliberation. (Here follow quotations front the Constitutiennel, Courier Francais, Journal des Debats, and Journal du COl7l. merce. After which, the Gazette adds)— • IT the Minister of the Interior should go out of the Ministry, this act will be the result of his own will alone, and not of a concession made by Royalty to revolution. Whatever happens, the system rviil certainly not be changed. The Ministry will not depart from the Monarchical line, which is the only one that Royalty and the two other Legislative Powers can follow. ANcoNA, OCT. 30.—The letters which are re ceived from Albania, and the city of Janina, give a very melancholy picture of the situation of that place, and of the surrounding country. The troops, who have not received any pay for a long time, plunder and harass the inhabitants. The Pachas cannot make themselves obeyed, and complete anarchy pre vails; 8,000 Albanians still support the Pacha of Janina, who is in open rebellion against the Sultan.

The following has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, dated Liverpool, Nov. 17 : " Our Cotton Market Las been this day very The sales amount to 3,800 bags, 1,000 of which have been t.ken on speculation, at full prices. A considerable quantity of Brazil has changed hands." Singapore Papers have also been received at the above Coeree-house to the 28th of June. _ _ _ (From the Singapore Price Current of June 27.) In consequence of the deficiency in the circulating me limn, and the peculiar mode in which business is con ducted in this settlement, scarcely any sales are ever made in cash ; therefore, it being impossible to give the cash prices of every article, all sales are effected at two months, for payment in produce. EUROPEAN PIECE GOODS.-Large sales have been made, particularly of long cloths, at our quotations, of the goods recently imported by the Thomas Parsons. OPIUM.-Great fluctuations have been experienced during the week, and in consequence of the principal junks having sailed, prices have declined. The last sale of Molwa at Bombay took place on the 30th May. The fol lowing is the result:—Highest, 1,815 rupees; lowest, 1,780 ; average, 1,794 93. THE FUNDS.

The accounts from Paris state that a misunderstanding prevails amongst the French Ministry, owing to a discus sion on the choice of the President of the Council ; Polig nac was to be appointed ; but M. Bourdonnaye said he had accepted the portefeuille on condition to fulfill the above situation, and being disappointed it is said he has resigned. Accounts via Madrid state that on the 19th ult. an earthquake was felt at Grenada. They state from Glasgow that there appears an indica tion of diminished distress among the working population, and that the rents have been better paid than usually, with the exception of the bulk of the unfortunate weavers; this promptitude of payment is ascribed to the public works being all brisk.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—A new melo drame, under the title of the Brigand, in two acts, was last night produced at this Theatre. The plot is some what intricate, but full of incident, and abounding suffi ciently in the improbable to set the wits of an audience on the stretch. As far as acting went, it was admirably played in all its parts; nor have we witnessed, for some time, a more impressive piece of acting than WALLAc K'S Massaroni. Mr. W. FARREN'S Prince Bianchi, too, was excellent. The scenery, on the whole, was splendid ; and the piece announced for repetition to the entire satis faction of the audience, which was select and numerous. BRITISH INSTITUTION, PALL-MALL.— This noble Gallery was yesterday opened for a private view, and was frequented by great numbers of con ' noisseurs and artists. The great objects of attraction were the copies made from the paintings of the old Masters, some of which were of first-rate excellence, especially the portrait of the gentleman by VANDYKE, copied by Mos- Tort, and the St. John of Aluanto, by E.

After the election was de clared, the Professor of Divinity, amid the greatest uproar, which frequently compelled him to sit down, declared that though extremely unwilling to express any sentiment disagreeable to the general feeling, yet as a mem ber of Comitia, in the present state of the country, he felt himself bound to enter his solemn protest against the indi vidual chosen; Ist, because he Lad no residence in Scot land, and was thus disqualified from duly performing the arduous duties of his office ; 2. His second objection, of a legal nature, was that, according to the articles of Union between England and Scotland, every individual holding office required to be of the Presbyterian religion. More force would be due to this latter objection, were it but that three Professors of the Episcopal communion have been tacitly allowed to take their seats on the bench from which he spoke, and that the person who has so long filled the office of Chancellor belongs to the same persua sion.— Glasgow Chronicle. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY•) COURT OF CHANCERY. JUDGIMENT.—HALE V. HALE. The LORD CHANCELLOE gave judgment in this cO 6 The question arose upon an allegation that certain registe rs and tomb stones had been mutilated and greatly destroyed I y the defendant and several clergymen in whose p 001 4: sion, from time ti time, they had been. The plaintiff 110 been represented as a very poar man, and the defendant, j ° l one of great respec , a' ility, so that as far as rega rd !" both, the point was of great importance. His Lordsbly had, under those circumstances, read all the affidall" through with the utmost attention, and had come t° a . satisfactory conclusion in his own mind. The pl aint° and his witnesses had undoubtedly wilfully endeavourea to mislead the Court, and bad sworn that which at the time they must have known to have been untrue, as far 0 regarded the alleged mutilations of the registers There was, on the other hand, not the slightest ground for the most remote imputation on the character of the defendan t ' and therefore the Court was bound to dismiss the motunl with costs. .‘„ BEVERIDGE V. HEY. In this case, it will be recollected, that the defendan t and plaintiff are both surgeons. They are relatives, and the latter entered into an agreement that he would not begin to practice after the expiration of his apprenticesh i p within a shorter distance than five miles of Newgste street. Subsequently a negotiation was proposed for th e purpose of annulling that agreement en certain terms; .• before the completion of this agreement, the do' fendant entered into practice in Cheapside. i° 3 injunction issued to restrain the defendant from CO tinning to carry on his profession there. He had gone ce notwithstanding to practice in the same place, and a fe l !. days ago an application was made for an order to colic??

His Lordship, in disposing of it this morniogr considered that he had been guilty of a breach of the it junction, and that an order of committal ought to bale been issued, but regarding the relative situations of the parties; h- eeclined making the order at the moment. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL pressed for the order, le which he considered himself entitled, but The LORD CHANCELLOR still felt disposed not to, make ' it to-day. The SOLICITOR-.GENSRAL thought this leniency on the part of the Court would not prevent an act of liberality kid his client; because, though he got the order, be vr not act upon it if the defendant refrained from practising. His LORDSHIP would not yield. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then said, that hie client ' would not again trouble the Court for a month from tb time ; and that then, should Mr. Hey be still in practice where he now was, he should press for the order. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the order should 4 0 undoubtedly be granted, should it be required. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT.-lIANBY V. HARRISON. The Court gave judgment this morning in this 0 04 which was argued yesterday upon demurrer. The Val i° in the cause were originally partners ; upon the slissoloti ° !, of the partnership an agreement was entered into, 111 which it was agreed to refer all matters in dispute to (AP taro arbitrators ; they drew up their award, and the p 15 ',.., 11 ‘ tiff filed his bill for the purpose of setting it aside, or,. the ground of fraud, and concert on the part of the OP' trators, and also that the award was not made in tittle. ,1 His Honour discovered, that upon looking at the plearPr o he thought himself bound to allow the demurrer; by 1. 0 - 1, agreement for a reference, it was provided that the sit e should be made on or before the 25th day of Deog g° 2 7 neat, or at any other period the arbitrator might ap1 03 1; tl e allegation on the bill was that the award was made, hei r . ,7 date the sth of October, 1824 ; that being so, the Cci„,`", thought it must take the award to have been made on day it bore date. There were no averment* in the ple r ",„; ings that the award was void in consequence of not be made in time. It did not appear to his Honour *Attl l ji. was any rule in equity which said that because an Ittl ig . was not made in time it was necessarily void. The ° hi t ground for sustaining the present proceeding was, though the award was not void in consequence of not be., made in time, yet that the plaintiff had a right, look", at all the circumstances under which it was m a de, to k s % it cancelled. It did not appear to his Honour that t i t was any ground in the present case to justify the Cour t in ' taking such a step; the Court would therefore alloy/ 10 demurrer; but, if Mr. Girdlestone, who appeared W i to plaintiffs, wished to make any application with refere e t to the amendments of the bill, the Court would be tit ( happy to hear him.

Mr. &toll yesterday applied in this case for the t" . . - 6 charge of the defendant from the custody of the %V of the Fleet, where he had been incarcerated for conical?' on the ground that the plaintiff had taken steps in O r ' cause whereby the contempt was waved. His Honol l did not think himself justified in making the order with out notice, that notice had been given, and the Learo ; Gentleman this morning moved that the prisoner rnie be brought up for the purpose of obtaining his diseher; and be permitted to call at the Master's office, to make $ • affidavit in his road to the Court.
