The Literary Gazette has the following re- specting the late Joseph Marryal, ESq.— He went on the Monday morning into the city from his country- house at Wimbledon, and whilst in the act of writing a frank, in his office iu Mansion, house. street, he fell on the floor, and expired, without speaking a word. It appears from the medical report of'lhe gentlemen who inspected the body, lhat an ossification, not merely of the valves of the heart, but of Ihe coronary vessels, or of those vessels which supply the heart itself wilh blood, was the cause of his decease :— a disease which must have run its course for some time without suspicion of its existence. THE DI'KE OF CI. AHENCE A!? D THE LATE MRS. JORDAN — II HOW appears, ( hat every imputation of parsimony or tin kindness against the Duke of Clarence, respecting Mrs. Jordan, was utterly groundless. An authenticated statement has appeared iu the papeis, from which it is seen, thai, until Ihe period of luf death, his Royal Highness continued lo allow Mis. Jordan f .500 , i year for her own use, besides £ 800 a year, lo enable her to provide for three married daughters by a former connexion. Until her necessities drove her abroad, 1I19 Duke also allowed her £ 1500 a year for Ihe maintenance of his own four daitgbicis, and £ 600 a year for a house ami carriage for their use. Up lo Ihe present time, he makes a yearly allowance to each of her married daughters. ' Mrs. Jordan's embarrassments arose from her having entrusted a false friend— a relative— with blank acceptances.

The Stewards took legal advice, and, finding they were in error ctime to the office arid paid the demand to the sick' member, £ 4.18s with the costs, Mr. Griffith then held ihe landlord lo bail for obstructing the officer.

LAW.— The great Auction Cause depending between Jones, of Llanrwst, Auctioneer,- Plaintiff, and Nanney, Clerk, Defendant, having been tried at Shrewsbury, and afterwards argued three times in the Court of Exchequer, was, on the 3d instant, finally determined iu favour of the Defendant, after an able display of abilities by Counsellors Taunton and Richards for Plaintiff, and a most ingenious reply of Mr. Scarhtl for Defendant, which soon settled the point. The Court unani mously decided in favour of Hie Defendant, and expressed their sentiments strongly against the contract.— It was also added that the Auctioneer was not only incapable of maintaining his action in this cause, but that lie had forfeited his remedy against the Vendors for Ihe Duty; and will con- sequently have the Costs to pay.— H.

We are sorry to hcarf lhat considerable dis- contents prevail amongst some of the colliers in the western part of Monmouthshire. It is but a short time since similar symptoms manifested themselves in one of the largest iron- works in the neighbourhood, but which were suppressed by firmness and resolution..' Some of the workmen at one of the collieries have left their employ, and it is reported thai the rest have given notice. The present rapid increase in the price of provisions is supposed to have had considerable influence in producing these threatening occurrences. Gloucester Journal.

Little more than a year ago the Banking Com- panies of Scotland reduced the rate of interest from four to three per cent.; and they have now. it is said, come to the resolution of taking off another per cent. It is now fully determined on to light the city of Hereford with Gas; and a Company will be formed for the purpose, consisting of gentlemen, inhabitants of, or connected with the city. The money necessary for the undertaking, £ 4000, is all subscribed. GAS- LIGHT.— A new purifier, on the plan of Mr. 8. Cleg- g-, of London, has lately been affixed to the apparatus of the Gas- lig- ht Company of Chester, and so effectually does the new vessel answer its intended purpose, that after the gas has passed through it, the most delicate test that can be applied indicates the entire absence of every thing which may have been considered offensive. To carry the purification still farther, the gas is made to enter a second purifier, and afterwards it is conveyed to the gasometer in as high a state of perfection as can possibly be effected. The Conductors of the King's Theatre have offered Madame Catalani a clear half of the receipts of the house, for every night of her performance during the season, which she has accepted. It lias been erroneously stated, in the papers, that Mr. Ellistou had offered Madame Catalani two thousand guineas for thirty nights: the proposals made by that gentleman were, a thousand guineas for six performances.

' MY LORDS, AND GENTLEMEN, ^ SpH E Situation of one of the CORONEIIS u. of this County being ahout to become vacant by the Resignation of Mr. WHITCOMBE, I beg Leave most respectfully to offer myself sis a Candi- date for the important Office, and to solicit the Honour of your ATTENDANCE AT THE POLL. Since the Division was made of the Hales Owen District, the whole of the Inquests have been held within 22 Miles of this Town, and which has been the Residence of the Coroner ( or within eight Miles of the Place) for upwards of 60 Years last past. If I you appoint your Coroner at. Bridgnorth, which has already got one for the Liberties—( another being ikewise appointed for the extensive Franchise of Wenlock, and one also for Broseley) — then you will have Four Coroners within 8 Miles of each other, and the Hundreds of Clun, Purslow, Chirbury, Ford, and Munslow, will be in the Jurisdiction of the Bishop's Castle Coroner. This would be attended with a great Expense to your County, as, out of the 75 Inquests held by Mr. WHITCOMBE during his Cornnership of 5 Years only, 7 have, been held on the other Side of Bridg- north, and which were iu the Parishes of Rudge, Claverley, and Morville. Mr. JONES informs you that my Residence is upon Ihe Confines of the County ; for which Reason I have come forward , and with what Success will be seen at the Day of Poll. If he will look to Baugh's Map of the County, he will find where the other three reside. For what Purpose would it he to appoint your Coroner in the Centre of your County, or iu a Distiict where others are already exercising that Right within their Jurisdiction. I am sorry to see that Mr, JONES, in his Address, makes so light of the Office for which he is a Candidate. If he will, for one Moment, consider the great Importance and serious Duties of the Office, be will find that it is not. attained with that Practical Knowledge which he may possess; but that the very Old Law Books ( of Waste Paper Value, as he says) are the grand and Golde. i Laws for a Coroner, and if he does not know and under- stand them, lie must be very unfit for such an Office. It has not been in my Power to personally can- vass the whole of the Freeholders throughout this County ; but I hope that those that I have not seen, will join Hand in Hand with those that I have ; and 1 assure the whole, that I shall feel myself highly honoured in their meeting me at the liny of Poll; until which Time, 1 have the Honour to remain, MY LORDS, AND GENTLEMEN, Your very obedient humble Servant, S.

SIR, have received an unspeakable gratification in perusing the Speech addressed, iu His Majesty's name, to both Houses of Parliament, on their assem- bling last week. I wish. Sir, I could say as much of the speeches of His Majesty's Ministers delivered in the course of the consequent debate. We have, Sir, passed through our hour of trial— the nation's fiery ordeal : and our couutry has, by the blessing- of Providence, cpme forth not only uninjured, but with tjie prospect of increased strength. Our com- merce and manufactures have assumed an exalted place— our agriculture, the chief stay of our moral, our natural* rind our political constitution, is fast resuming its- deserved state of prosperity ;~ and yet it has been deemed sufficient, after years of strug- gles, between the steadily loyal and the incendiaries, . who. would have made the hour of trial the hour of destruction— it has been deemed sufficient by Mi- nisters merely to congratulate the nation $ n the return, of a state of comparative happiness and prosperity. It may he very noble and very magnanimous in my Lord Liverpool and in Mr. Canning thus to treat a subject in which they certainly have a per sonal feeling- ; but, Sir, much as we should appre- ciate the delicacy of that spirit which, from a wish to avoid the appearance ol personal vanity, would > pare the scourge, even to their own and their country's enemies, something was at least due to the feelings of that majority of His Majesty's loyal subjects, who, in the day of visitation, stood alike unmoved by the attacks of tribulation and by the insinuations of disaffection. Mow many of our manufacturers tottered, Without repining, under the re- action o; f our commercial greatness j and how many of our agriculturists, both landlords and tenants, have suffered, and patiently suffered, in the loss of property during the retrogradatiou of the farming interest! To fo. rm a just estimate of the merit of thus suffering, let us look through the brightness of the present day to the cloudy scenes out. of which we nave just emerged. Bring to view the attacks upon the Throne and upon the Altar, which, for the. last eight years, have been unceasingly made by a busy horde of conspirators, aided by the ava- ricious, the malignant, and the incendiary portion of the Press. Add to this the embarrassing com- plaints of those who., smarting under a high degree, of temporary suffering in their agricultural or com- mercial concerns, were, though retaining their loyalty"^ induced to co- operate in the support of projects and petitions founded upon the theories of well- meant but mistaken " political economists," or were unwittingly drawn into the ranks headed by pretended patriots, whose real views were con- cealed from their followers by the strength of flowery orations, crocodile tears, and seeming phi- lanthropy. Taking all these circumstances into consideration, I again repeat, the great and sound portion of the community might justly look for something more from Ministers than common place observation on onr present situation. I am one of those who dislike party designations, and I feel a pleasure in being convinced that in our day even the semblance of Whig or Tory, as once politically termed, has ceased to exist. There has fWng been but. two real political parties ( how- soever they- may be subdivided) in the country— the one its friends, the other its enemies. Circum stances have abundantly proved that the first of these parties is by far the most, numerous ; and gratitude must constrain us to acknowledge onr obligations to that great body of eminent men, some of whom have been styled Whigs, and others of whom have been called Tories, who, during the latter years of our history, have laid aside thei party feelings, aud have united for the protection and preservation of their common country again: ' its internal and external enemies. To shew that such union was not unnecessary there are, withoutg- oing from home, cogent memo in appalling profusion. Witness Spa- Field: the public ag- ainsta set of men who were waging.., war against unintentional breakers of the Law, the J necessity ( if, a more extensive search did not strike ' me.—. 1 sipperely hope that the hints I have given may tend, tp preserve unwary offenders from the fearful eyils ot that ^ rowliug reptile— the public Informer,.. In a case similar to the present, it is sufficient to cry—* MVatcti !" When alarm is given, those who wish to. be secure, will not refrain from availing themselves of the proper means. By warning a garrison of the approach of an enemy, one great chance of security is afforded. Fear, in the minds of some, however imparted, often proves the forerunner of safety.

I am not conscious of hav- ing uttered a single Expression from which any sueli Inference can he drawn. That to qualify a Gentleman for the Office of Coroner much deep Legal Research and Knowledge is uot necessary, 1 am, with every Deference, justified in inferring, from the Fact that throughout the Kingdom the Corouersare usually selected from the Medical and not from the Legal Profession, and that the former, with the Assistance of Mr. Umfreville's and other Treatises on the Subject, are found to be fully equal to the Duties of the Office.

THE TOTAL ABOLITION OF LOTTERIES Is tlie more universal I v lamented, since the immense Number of > J EVE IN of .£ 20,000 Has been introduced into One Scheme, for which it is now the Interest of every one to Purchase a Ticket or Share— if this Capability had been disco- vered many Years ago, what Riches would have heen distributed through every County in the United Kingdom. THE DRAWING WILL COMMENCE TUB 10th THIS MONTH, F2BRUARY, WHEN From. 7 to 8000 Tickets will he drawn, AND EVERY TICKET A PRIZE ! randa Fields and Cato- Street — Brandreth and bis confederate! in the midland counties— and Hunt and his coudju tors at Manchester. With regard to the lust- named place, I need not say how every neive was strained to excite the morbid feelings of sedition, nor how the, most generous sympathies of our nature were insidiously urged to coalesce in the dark work of nation's overthrow : the coal- black a » d cojdrblood> tales fabricated and published in Shrewsbury on this subject are not vet forgotten, it is unnecessary for me, Sir, to dwell on the fire- brands subsequently kindled by the same horde under the Throne itself, or ou their consequent fruitless endeavours to league a nation's finest feelings in aid ol' the dark machin- ations of Treason, Infidelity, and Immorality. Like untempered mortar, these discordant materials could not hold together, and the disaffected were again left to the nakedness of their deformity ar. d to the poverty of their own miserable resources. Their last eflort was iudeed a feeble one, made bv the tail only of the party, and it shewed both the leanness of their intellect and of their cause : I mean their project for bringing about what they termed an u equitable adjustment" of the public and private debts of the community— by which the poor man was to be robbed of his pence, and by which the rich man was to be robbed of his pounds. I think, Mr. Editor, I have said enough in sup- port of my opinion, that the union of all g- ood men was not uncalled for ; and, recollecting these things, I think it is not too much in me to say, that the loyal stedfastness of my countrymen should have received some decided tribute of approbation — and the efforts of the disaffected some brand- mark of reprobation— from those in authority, on an occa- sion when they had ample opportunity. It may, as I said befpreii be noble and magnanimous, in Noble Lords'and Right Hon. Gentlemen, to leave ( on their own account) these things pass unnoticed ;— but, Sir, it is not prudent. The enemies of the State do not manage matters in this way : they are unceasing' in their attacks : by night or by day, no stone is left unturned when occasion, be it plausible or he it indefensible, can be found to assail the Throne or the Altar. Why, then, when the tide of affairs is stvoug against them, should the feelings of these incendiaries be spared ? It may be said, that Thistlewood, Brandreth, and others have met their doom— that Hunt, Carlile, & c. have been incarcerated — but, Sir, these were only the scape- goats of their several branches of the party hydra : incendiary orators and incendiary writers innume- rable are still waiting- the opportunity again to dip their tongues and their pens in the gall of dis- ffeet. ion ; and if ag'aiust these, the manly eloquence of a Liverpool, • nd the oratorical powers of a Can- ning, had, last week, for a short time been directed, I think we should not have heard certain half- smothered bowlings about our Foreign Policy, nor, perhaps, for some time to come, should we he troubled with inflammatory libels levelled by poli- tical leaders at the Throne or the Religion of our country. Congratulating my couutrymen of all classes on the noble stand which they made in the day of peril— and congratulating the industrious farmer on the circumstances which now forebode his speedy restoration toa state of prosperity— I again take leave to express mv satisfaction at the pro- spects held out in His Majesty's Speech, and which are happily so apparent to eyei'y individual iu the community. RETROSPECT, •' The jpulve of Sussex, and the Principles that seated his family on theThrone."-- Mr. Moncriefl* proposed The memory of LordErskine."-- Lord A. Hamilton then gave " The Duke of Leinster, and the speedy restoration of the British Constitution in Ireland." Had the principles, his Lordship observed, of the immortal man whose virtues they were met to cele- brate, been acted upon, Ireland would not have been what it is— the most miserable portion of the g- lobe. Ail the British benefits it had received were Pjtt's policy and Castlereagh's headiness. Mr. Jeffrey called the attention of the Meeting- to the present condition of America, a » d the advant- ages we had derived from her— a Country, he ob- served, that had already done the most essential service to the cause of freedom — not perhaps so much by the conduct of her people, or by the acts of her Government, as by her mere existence— in peace, respect, and prosperity, under Institutions mor? particularly popular, and a Constitution more purely democratic, than lmve prevailed among civilized men from the beginning of the World— thus affording a splendid illustration and irrefragable proof of the possibility of recouciling- the utmost extent of freedom with the maintenance of public authority, and the greatest order, and tranquillity, and security to private rights, with the most unbounded exercise of political ones. What else, continued the speaker, can furnish so conclusive and triumphant a refutation of the pitiful sophisms and absurd predictions by which the ad- vocates of existing abuse have at all times endea- voured to create a jealousy and apprehension of reform? You cannot touch the most corrupt and imbecile Government without unsettling the princi- ples and unhinging the frame of society— you can- not give the people political rights without eneour- aging them to be disobedient to lawful authority and sowing the seeds of continual rebellion and perpetual disoontenWnor reeog- nise popular pre- tensions in any shape, without coining ultimately to the abolition of all distinctions, and the division and destruction of all property— without involving- society, in short, in disorders at once frightful and contemptible, and reducing- all things to the level of a bioody equality. Such are the reasonings by which we are now to be persuaded that Liberty is incompatible with private happiness or national prosperity. To these we need not answer in words, or by reference to examples, — but we put them down at once, and trample them contemptuously to the earth, by a short appeal to the existence and condition of America ( great applause).-- What is the. Country of the . universe, I would now ask, in Gallant run with Mr. Littletons Buck Hounds.— Ou Saturday, Ihe 31st Januaiv, Mr. Littleton's Buck Hounds met at Aston, uear Stone, in consequence of information that the buck which was turned out at Tit tensor on the 9th ult, and which was lost after a long run, was in a cover near Pirehill. The same hounds had run him since he was first turned out, and again lost him after a harder chase than the first. Oil t, he 31st nit. they found him again in the same cover,, and ran him a burst for Astpn, Enspn- Moor, aud Marston, across Tillington to Stafford race course, where ihey viewed him.; from thence back to Marston, Enson- Moor, and Burston, down the side of tbe Trent, which he crossed at Aston Mill ; from whence he took across the canal for Orange Mays and Sandon;, where he turned to the left. over Hardiwick Heath, by the Hollywood, Peak's Hill, and Hilderstoue, in the direction for Colon, where he hrak, ed : here again the hounds viewed him, and ran him back for Hildeistone, across a very billy country, for Draycott, near to where the hounds ran into him, after a most severe chase of lhr. ee hours.— During this space the hounds were only twice at check for a few minutes. The first burst of 8 miles, was. tremendous, and the rest was a, II hard running : the deer was so game, he would uo. t be caught alive, and fell dead before the hounds. It was calculated by the gentlemen who were out, and who knew the country^ that he could not have run less than 30 miles. As the appointment was not much known, the field, we understand, was; , not numerous, and few were up at the death. 1 Shooting.—* The Reason for shooting game is now drawing to a conclusion; we therefore remind our Readers that there is a penalty of five pounds for every bird of the following description found in any person's possession:—% 2 Geo. HI. ( which is neither repealed nor modified by any subsequent Act) " No person whatever shall take, kill, or haw in his custody any partridge, between the 12th day of Febiu& ry and'the lst day of September, in each and every year ; nor any pheasant between the 1st day of February and ( he lst day of October; nor any heath- fowl, commonly called hiaek- guuie, between the 1st day of January and tbe 50th of August; nor any grouse, commonly called red- game, between the lst of December and the 25th of July, under the penalty of five pounds, to go to the prosecutor." llroinncial anS fVlt& tcUmtQm. A Thief Shot.— At Upper Easton, Somersetshire, on Monday morning se'nnight, about four o'clock, a great noise was heard by a servant man of the name of John Scully, in the employ of Mr Packer, which proceeded from the dog's backing belonging to the bouse, and the bells attached to sheep in a field op- posite. The servant proceeded to inspect the grounds with a gun loaded with small shot, and after proceed- ing about fifty yards down the garden, looked across a narrow lane, and found some person or persons were hunting ihe sheep, and suspected, from the circumstance of there being no passage or footway through the field, ihat an attempt was making to steal some of them ; and as numerous depredations have been of late committed in the neighbourhood, Mr. Crinks, the proprietor, requested, as he lived himself at some distance, that John Scully would keep a good look out in guarding his fiock, and that he should be rewarded for his" trouble. After the man had waited in ihe garden from five to leu minutes, some men appeared, making their way over the hedge on to a wall about four feet in height, which is situate about six feet across the lane; the dog which was with the servant then harked furi- ously, and some stones were thrown at him hy the some person must thieves, who were heard to s he with that dog;" upon which the servant cried out u stpp thief" several times, when one <• » ' the thieves said, " there is a man; shoot the rascal;— Tom, d— n you, why don't you fire?"— the servant ( it being star light) saw. they had something and sup posed it to be a sheep, then fired his gun at the iegsof one of them then standing upon the wall ( a distance of about twelve vards) ; the shots passing, struck a second man, whose name is said to be k* Maggs," in the breast, which caused death.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal, SIR, In your Journal of last week, you favoured me by inserting a few observations on the above sub- ject. The Statute which was passed in the 3d year of his present Majesty has, I find, undergone tvyo amendments ; one in March, 1823, and another in July following. I was aware of the existence of the first amendment, but the second did uot occur to me until after my communication had reached the press.' The first alteration applies to the receipt of tolls for the carriage of lime, but is silent as to. the names of the owners of waggons, & e. being- painted thereon. It was, consequently, unneces sary to mention that; but, by the subsequent amendment, I find alterations were made which are importaut in the latter point of view. By the Law7, therefore, as it now stands, the owner of every waggon, & c. must have his name painted on the offside of the same, or on the off side shafts thereof, together with the name of his place of abode, & c. at full length, in a straight line, or in straight lines, iu letters n. ot less than one inch in height; or he will incur a penalty of £ 5. So that the principal differences, ou this head, between the repealed and the new Law, relate to the size and situation of the letters. Here we have an Act of Parliament passed i » 1822; amended in March-, 1823; and again in Julv foil owing. When I last addressed you the parent Act, by Batemaii, was before me. For the purppse I then had in view, namely, of warning omnipotent'*?- r—^ Where are intelligence and wealth most, widely diffused and most rapidly progressive \ Where is society, in its general description, the most peaceable, and orderly, and moral, and con- tented? Where are popular tumults least, known, and the spirit and existence, and almost the name, of a mob least heard of? Where, in short, is poli- tical animosity le^ st prevalent — faction sgbdned, aud, at this moment, even parti/ nearly extinguish- ed, in a prevailing feeling of national pride and satisfaction ? Where, but in America ( great ap- plause) ? America, that, laid the foundation of her Republican Constitution in a violent^ radical, aud sanguinary revolution — America, with her funda- mental democracy, made more unmanageable, and apparently more hazardous, by being broke. i up into I do not know how many confederated and independent democracies—- America, with Univer- sal Suffrage, and monthly or weekly elections — with a free and unlicensed press— without an estab- lished priesthood, an hereditary nobility, or a per- manent executive— with all that is combustible, in short, and pregnant with danger, on the hypo- thesis of tyranny, and without one of the checks or safeguards by which alone they contend the benefits or the very being- of society can he maintained ( peals of applause) ! There is something at. ouce audacious and ridiculous in maintaining such doc- trines in the face of such experience.

Amongst the other loasts given were the follow- ing :—" A cordial union of all classes iu the cause of Reform :" ^ Mina, Alava, aud Arguelles, qnd the brave Spaniards who did not despair of their Country amidst general defection ;" " Joseph Hume ;" " The illustrious patriot and emancipator of South America— Bolivar; and may liberty and independence soon be established universally over South America ;' 1 ^ Henry Brougham, as the illustrious advocate of education :" " A Free Press, and may it be extended as the safeguard of Liberty, and the Terror of the Holy Alliance." [ Mr, Jeffrey, who, at the above meeting, eulo- gized America as a splendid specimen, in her institutions, of the existence of real Liberty, is the Editor of the Edinburgh Review. According to his statement, political animosity and faction exist not iu America ; nay, party- spirit is scarcely to be found there. We believe, Mr. Jeffrey is the only man in the British Empire who will venture such an assertion— an assertion only equalled in false- hood by his intimation that real " Liberty" exists only in America— and this in the face of a fact known to all the world, that hundreds of thousands of human beings are SLAVES in the United States, and held in SLAVERY by the LAWS of that country, in which, according to Mr. Jeffrey, " the authority of law" is most omnipotent '."-— Thus, however, Old England is by comparison libelled and taunted, by party orators and party writers. Thus, too, is British happiness reviled. JU all this there is something whimsical; nothing very alarming. The absence of gratitude in political aberration is, however, thus abundantly demon strated ; and the friends of the. country are put on their guard bv learning from the speeches made by such men as Mr Jeffrey what their • wishes are. There is now no danger of those wishes being realized : the friends of constitutional monarchy need be under no alarm when false views of democratic purity and prosperity are held up to admiration. Such pictures may, in troublous times, shake the faith of weak minds, but happily they do not even then rob them of their substantial bless- ings.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.— On Tuesday, as -—- / Vmlerson, Esq. late of the Civil Service at Madras, with his lady, was returning to town in a tilbury, some person, near Saffron Walden, fired a gun from behind a hedge, at which 1 he horse took fright, and, after running a considerable distance, the vehicle was overturned; when Mr. A. escaped nearly unhurt, but the spring, w hich b^- oke, pierced through Mrs. A.' s garments, and penetrated her side, inflicting a very desperate wound. She was taken to the house of Mr. Gascovne, where the most humane attention was paid to her, and iu a short time she revived ; but pains of another sort succeeded, and an accoucheur was procured, when she was delivered of a premature child, which, as must have been expected, was dead Two eminent Physicians were sent from London, but, from the exhausted state of the unfortunate lady, and the extreme irritation of the wound, her recovery is deemed almost hopeless.-— The parties have been married only about eight monts. DREADFUL FIRE— On Tuesday night a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Cox, grocer, in King- street, Hammersmith, which raged with indescrib- able fury. In the midst of the confusion the shrieks of a female were heard, and it was recollected that a young woman had lain in, in the house, about ten I days,. and her fate thrilled with horror the spectators ; I however, she soon appeared at the window, where she fainted, but was got out hy the laudable activity of the firemen; and carried to a neighbouring house.; when, on her recovery, she exclaimed, " Oh ! where is my child?" This agonizing expression excited the greatest sympathy in the auditors, and one man gallantly rushed through the flames, and found the little infant asleep on a couch. He immediately seized it, but the stairs had given way, and he had no resource but the window, to which he hastened, and a man iu the street extended his arms to catch it; but at the moment il was thrown, by some infatuation he withdrew them, and the little innocent, falling on the stones, was killed on the spot ; aud the gallant fellow who had attempted its rescue; after being much scorched by the flames, received several seveje bruises in jumping from the window. The house, together with that of Mr. Milvvard, watch- maker, adjoining, anfl some wooden buildings,, were totally .- consumed ; and the houses of Mr. Way, Dr. Terratt, and Dr. Duncan, were greatly damaged. MURDER.— A most inhuman murder was com- mitted on the night - of Sunday week, at a small village within two miles of Deal, on tbe body of a poor woman, eighty four years of a^ e. The unf ortunate deceased was a woman of eccentric habits, and lived in a lone cottage, in which her j only conipanion was a goat or sheep. It was supposed that she was possessed of some little money, and this was, no doubt, the inducement to the altaGk.— The perpetrators of the foul deed broke open the door with the iron coulter of a plough,- and with this dreadful weapon, subse- quently attacked their helpless victim as she lay in bed, fracturing her skull, breaking her right arm, which she held up to ward off the blows, and also breaking one of her fingers. She was found iti this shocking state the next morniug; but no traces of tiie murderers could be discovered, nor was any property removed beyond the money there might have been in the house, which, it is believed, did not exceed £ 2, For the Salopian Journal.

QUICK WORK.— The following circumstance Binds a curious instance of the speedy detection of crime, although al a distance from the spot here it was commit led. Early in the morning of laturday se'nniglil, a man calling himself John Stephens, arrived on horseback at a public- house ill Gloucester, and in the course of the morning offered the animal lie rode for sale to a dealer. ' lie horse was hy no means a valuable one; but still, as the man appeared willing to sell it much below its real worth, the dealer declined purchasing, and very properly introduced the mail lo a Police- officer, named Marsh, The account he gave cf himself was not at all satisfactory ; so that Marsh ventured to detain both man and horse; anil a m- npike ticket of Warminster Lane Gate, dated the 23d Jan. found upon his person, giving a clue lo the country w hence he came, a description of both was published in the Hath Chronicle of Thursday. In consequence of this measure a person came up from Westbury Leigh on Saturday last, who identified the horse as one which had been stolen from that neighbourhood on the night before Stephens's apprehension in Gloucester: and the latter was immediately removed from Glou- cester to lake his trial at ihe next Wiltshire Assizes.

Sin, It is not al all surprising that, among the multi- tudinous and diversified articles which weekly emanate from so many different correspondents, Ihe intuitive discrimination aud judgment which an Editor naturally acquires by a nearly unceasing observation, cannot at all limes protect himself from error,— particularly so, when the subject matter of many important communications is such as renders it next to an impossibility be can be more than superficially acquainted with it, and w hich consequently confines his province to that of a mere rectifier of any grammatical or typography cal deviations.

The cause, he ascertained, was a weak chymical action, which is constantly exerted be- tween the saline contents of sea- water and the copper, and which, whatever may he the nature of the copper, sooner or later destroys it, which is thus noticed in the last Number of the kt Philoso- phical Magazine."— 44 The same general principle of the manner in which chymical changes may be jjxalled, destroyed, or suspended, by electrical powers, which led him to the discovery of the decomposition of the alkalies and the earths, like- wise afforded him this new and more practical discovery. He finds that a very . small surface of tin, or other oxidable metal, any where in contact with a large surface of copper, renders it so negatively eleptrical, that sea- water has no action upon it; and a little mass of tin brought even in communication by a wire with a large plate of copper, entirely preserves it. By the desire of the Lords of the Admiralty, he is now bringing this discovery to actual practice on ships of war. It is needless to point out the uses aud economical: advantages of a result which . must add so much to the permanency and strength of our navy and shipping, and be so beneficial to our maritime and commercial interests." A patent, which had for its object the remedying of^ the same evil,' was lately taken out by Mr. Mushet, of the Mint ; and it is a curious enough fact, that the means he recom mends for improving the copper employed in sheathing, is— allowing it a very small portion of tin, or of zinc, or arsenic, or of antimony. M Mushet only specifies the fact, but nothing of the cause. Is the effect in this case to be ascribed to the very cause ascertained by Sir Humphrey ? LONGEVITY OF TREES.— The yews of Surrey which are supposed to have stood from the' time of Julius Caesar, are now two yards in diameter. The cedars on Mount Lebanon, 9 yards in girth, from the measurement of the learned Labillardiere; the fig tree of Malabar, according to Rumphius, usually from 16 to 17 yards round ; the stupendous chesnuts of Mount Etna, one of which, Howell teils us, measured 17 yards in circumference; the ceibas of the eastern coast of Africa, of such hulk and height, that a single stick is capable of being transformed into a pirogua or sailing vessel of 18 to £ 0 yards from stem to stern, and of 3 or 4 in the waist.; the boabab of Senegal, of 10 or 12 yards in the girth, and according to the computation of Adamson, 5 or 6000 years old ; all of these, giants as they are, vegetate, as does the smallest bush, solely by the thin herbaceous layer of the liber annually produced at the inner surface of their bark. The common oak usually lasts from 6 to 900 years; and the stages of its existence are of about 2 or 300 years each. It has been observed to live longer in a dry than in a wet soil. The same may be said Of the chesnut. The Late Dr. Jenner.— Migration of Birds -- It is well known that the lale Dr. Jenner devoted some years to enquiries respecting the migration of birds. His nephew has communicated some inter eating observations ( of the late Doctor) to the Royal Society; from which it appears that there is no ground for ascribing the disappearance of swallows, & c. iu the autumn to hybernation in marshy banks; but that these birds actually take flight from our shores in the autumn, and return in the spring. In proof of which the Doctor says, that when birds first appear for the season, they are never in the ema- ciated and weakened state of hybernating quadrupeds When they have quitted their retreats ; but on the contrary, are as vigorous and active as at any period of the season. The Doctor proved that a swift was no more capable than any other bird of existing under water; and even water fowl cannot remain below the surface above two, or three minutes at one time., Dr. Jenner enumerates several in- stances where birds belongiug. to the, migratory class have been seen in passing the Atlantic ; among which the cuckoo, the owl, and the hawk are in- cluded. It appears from Dr. J.' s enquiries, that the parent birds often migrate from some other country to England for the purpose of breeding; after which the young birds leave this country in the autumn, but return again in the ensuing spring to pursue the same routine, of nature ; but the same birds are often known to return and build in the same spot for several years together, especially the house- martin. The swifts usually leave this country about the middle of August, when their food begins to diminish ; but the martins leave us in succession, according as they get their young brood forward so as to endure a distant flight. But the swifts, which often rear two or three broods during the summer, if they be surprised with the early approach of bad weather in the autumn, leave their last brood to perish rather than delay their flight. Dr. J. is of opinion, that the young birds do not necessarily require the old birds as directors in their migrations; but they possess a certain instinct inherent in their nature which directs them. For although the swallow tribe congregate in large flocks previous to their migra- tions, yet this cannot be the case with the cuckoo the nig'htingale, and some other summer birds, which are comparatively few in numbers, and of a solitary character. The cuckoo leaves this country in July, even before it has reared its young. The result of Dr. . J.' s inquiries is, that birds migrate for the same purposes as the Salmon and other fish, to select a fit climate and proper place for roaring successive generations, of their species. AGRICULTU11E. The Country Corn Markets still maintain a regular advance in price. How will Messrs. Cob- bett and Co. back out from their prophecies respecting every thing being lower and lower till Peel's Bill were repealed ? The meeting of the Herefordshire Agricultural Society took place on the 2d inst. and was more numerously attended . than for some years past. The President, Mr. Smythies, said, he hailed the increased attendance as affording the best evidence of the returning prosperity of the Agricultural Interest, which had long laboured under the most gloomy prospects ; he trusted the cloud which had so long obscured those prospects was now removing, and that the sun of pro. sperity would soon shine in its wonted splen- dour. Further time, he said, was still necessary to re- instate the farmer after the sacrifice of so large a capital; but lie trusted he might con. gratulate the many respectable and liberal land- lords now before him, that fair and reasonable rents would soon be received witb regularity; and that he might congratulate the industrious ten- antry on their ability and readiness to pay them. ' imperial parliament. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, FEB. 3. Parliament was opened by Commission this day, the Commissioners being the Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Westmore- land, aud the Earl of Shaftesbury. ffltye Spmfj of the Lords Commissioners was delivered by the LORD CHANCELLORS as follows : 44 MY LORDS, AND GENTLEMEN, We are commanded by His Majesty to express to you His Majesty's deep regret, that in conse- quence of indisposition he is prevented from meeting you in Parliament upon the present occasion. 4* It would have been a peculiar satisfaction to His Majesty to be enabled in person to congratulate you on the prosperous condition'of the Country. 44 Trade and Commerce are extending themselves both at home and abroad. An increasing activity pervades almost every branch of Manufacture. TKj growth of tbe Revenue is such, as not only to sustain Public Credit, and to prove the unim- paired productiveness of our resources, but ( what is yet more gratifying to His Majesty's feelings) to evince a diffusion of comfort among the great body of his people. 44 Agriculture is recovering from the degression finder which it. laboured ; and, by the steady bpe- ation of natui& l causes, is gradually re- assuming the station to which its importance entitles it; among the great interests of the Nation. 44 At no former period has there prevailed throughout all classes of the community in this Island, a more cheerful spirit of order, or a more just sense of the advantages which, under the blessing of Providence, thev enjoy. In. Ireland, which has for some time past been the subject of His Majesty's particular solicitude. there are many indications of amendment; and His Majesty relies upon your eohtlntied endeavours to secure the welfare and happihess of that part of the thiited Kingdom. ; " His Majesty has commanded lis further to in- form- yon, that he has every reason to believe that the progress of our internal prosperity and improve- ment will not be disturbed by any interruption of tranquillity abroad. 44 His Majesty continues to receive from the Powers his Allies, and generally from all Pririees and States, assurances " of their earnest desire to' maintain land cultivate the relations of friendship' yvitb His Majesty ; and nothing* is omitted on ills Majesty's part,- as well to preserve general peace as to remove any causes'oi\ disagreem'e" t, and to draw closer the bonds of amity between other Nations and Great Britain. 44 The negociations which have been so long carried on through His Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople, for the arrangement of differences between Russia and the Ottoman Porte, are^ as His Majesty flatters himself, drawing near to a favour- able termination. i < e A Convention has been concluded between His Majesty and the Emperor of Austria, for the settle- ment of the pecuniary claims of this Country upon the Court of Vienna. 44 His Majesty has directed that a copy of this Convention shall be laid before you, and he relies on your assistance for the execution of some of> its provisions. 44 Anxiously as His Majesty deprecated the com- mencement of the war in Spain, lie is every day more satisfied that iu the' strict neutrality which he determined to observe in that contest ( and Which you so cordially approved), he best consulted the true interests of his people. 44 With respect to the: Provinces of America which have declared their separation from Spain j His Majesty's conduct has'been Open and consistent; and his opinions have been at .' all times frankly avowed to Spain and to other Powers. 44 His Majesty has appointed Consuls to reside at the principal ports and places of those Provinces, for the protection of the trade of his subjects. 44 As to any further measures, His Majesty has reserved to himself an unfettered discretion, lobe exercised as the circumstances of those countries, and. the interests of his own people, may appear to His Majesty to require. 44 GENTLEMEN OP THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, 44 His Majesty haS directed us to inform you, that the Estimates for the year are prepared, and shall be forthwith laid before you. 44 The numerous points at which, under present circumstances, His Majesty's Naval Force is neces- sarily distributed, and tiie occasion which has arisen for strengthening his Garrisons in the West Indies, ha ve rendered unavoidable some augmenta- tion' of his Establishments by Sea and Land. 44 His Majesty has, however, the gratification of believing, that notwithstanding the increase of expense incident to. these augmentations, it will still be in your power, after " providing for the services ofthe year, to make arrangements in some parts of our system of Taxation, which liiay afford Relief to Certain i mportant Branches of the' National Industry. 44 My LORDS, AND, GENTLEMEN, 4C His Majesty has : commanded us to acquaint you, that he has not been inattentive to the desire expressed by the House ' of Commons in the last Session of Parliament, that means should be. devised for ameliorating the condition of the Negro Slaves in the West Indies. 44 His Majesty has directed the necessary inform- ation relation to this subject to. be laid beforeJyon. 44 His Majesty is confident that youafford your best attention and assistance to any proposition which may be submitted fo you for promoting the moral improvement of the jjegroes-, by an extended plan of religious instruction, and by such otlier measures as may gradually conduce to the same end. 44 But His Majesty earnestly recommends to you. to treat this whole subject with the calmness anc the discretion which it demands. 44 It is a subject perplexed with difficulties, which no sudden effort can disentangle. 44 To excite exaggexaied expectations in those who are the objects of your benevolence, would be as fatal to their welfare as to that of their. employ- ers : and His Majesty assures himself you will hear in mind, that in the correction of a long standing and complicated system, in which the fortunes and the safety of larg'e classes of His Majesty's subjects are inrolved, that course of proceeding is alone likely to attain practical good, and to avoid aggra- vation of evil, in which due regard shall be paid to considerations of justice, and in which caution shall temper zeal." After the Commons had retired from the Bar, the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas was introduced with the usual forms, supported by Lords Dormer and Co-' hester, when he took' the prescribed oaths, upon his creation as Baron Gifford, of S*. Leonard's Exeter.— The House then adjourned during plea sure, and exactly at five o? clock the House re- assem bled. Earl SOMERS said, that in rising for the purpose o moving an humble and joy a! Address to his Majesty, thanking him for the communication he had so gra- ciously made to their Lordships, and assuring him of their concurrence and support, he believed that tin House would sincerely join with him ( Earl Somers in the satisfaction he had derived in hearing such statement of public affairs— a statement well founded iu facts, and proving- so clearly that the circum- stances of life country were rapidly recovering From their recent depression, and advancing in proportion to prosperity. Most of the subjects to which i became his duty to allude, were rather of a common or general nature; but amongst these topics there appeared to be one more peculiar, and which must sincerely lament, the regret expressed by his Majesty on account of < in illness which prevented hi being personally present in the House on this occa sion; when, too, their Lordships considered hi Majesty's earnest and patriotic desire to have con gratulated his Parliament oh the present state ofthe country. He was aware, at the same time, how much their Lordships would feel indebted to the wisdom and firmness of his Majesty's Councils for the stability and prosperity of their affairs. ~ estimate this improved state of things^ their Lordships must recal to their minds the period when we we plunged in a most sanguinary and tremendous con flict with a new republic, whose doctrines were nothing hut stimulants to hostility and violence though flattering to the deluded mass of the people and when this very same republic was engaged i a war which threatened all establishments, all lawful rule, and all real liberty. This had basted but a few years, when the whole authority of the republic'wen into the hands of one man, who manifested tlrat, lik the first of t he Rohian emperors in power though un like to him in character, he, notwithstanding, was not able to avail himself of it. Notoniy our independence our very existence was put to stake by the measures and success of that single man. By the steady per- severance of this country, and by the prowess of on arms, which never had yielded to the power France; by these exertions it was that this country had overcome such dangers, on. d obtained, at length, repose for the world. Biit after all these efforts to save this country and Europe, it was discovered that our efforts had g< Vne beyond bur resources. It was true, indeed, that the Emperor Napoleon had beeh subdued and peace restored to us ; but instead of returning plenty with returning peace, we found but exhaustion and penury, and Tosses in trade; so that the country groaned, fri peace, and the result was the spreading of dissatisfaction and discontent on every hand. Now^ however, what was. our situation } Our manufactures were reviving and our • commerce flourishing,, while onr credit had ri. Sen to an unpa- ralaied height. Agriculture, which had experienced the severest shock of any of the great interests of the country, he was happy to say, as he Cobld of his ow'n knowledge,, was recovering; and here he must approve of the manner in, which the Speech noticed this improvement as owing to the steady operation of natural causes; and, while stating the fact, holding out rational hopes to the landed intereVt who retained so great a share in the general interest and welfare of the country. He was, vherefore, grieved whenever he heard certain expression, s regarding landed pro- perty , by asserting that if the greater part changed hands, this country would continue to go on as vvell. He was aware of the importance of commerce, that we rested 011 our commerce for our greatness, and on our greatness for our independence. He was glad, indeed, that we had in, the progress of society so far got rid of the old feudal system, which prevented the change of lauds ; but it was quite a different thing to suppose that if the. principal lands m this country should entirely pass; from under thei ^ possessors, the State of affairs would be improved here. No ; there Would subsist no longer the game feeling on. the part 6f tenants for lahdlftrds— the sentiment of sympathy ould he destroyed ; there would be less employ- ment for the agricultural labourer, and no longer tlwit community of interest which now connected and Identified both. No interest, he must remark, had bade more exertion to save the country than the landed one. During the hour when danger most threatened us, the y^ dmanry^"' We're embodied in arms for the defence Of every thing estimable and dear to [ is, and other steps had been taken for the same reat object by the possessors of land; but be would not dwell longer 011 this subject, as he'was happy to hear, from the highest authority, that agriculture jwas re- assuming the station to which its importance ntitled it among the great interests of the nation. Sow, if our situation were so much and so decidedly ehanged since the return of peace, though so depres- sed at the return of peace, it was merely an act of justice to acknowledge, by thes& Address which he ihould conclude with proposing to the House, that lis Majesty's government had been conducted on wise and patriotic principles, and was entitled to the credit due to such a system. The Noble Lord then referred to the state of Ireland, which, he said, he should leave to be treated by his noble friend who would second the Address. He then adverted to the various topics of Foreign Policy mentioned in the Speech^ eXpressing his concurrence in the measures which Ijad been adopted by Government; and he filially observed, ^ f, upon the whole, vve had rapidly recovered from the effects of those miseries vhicli followed the war, we ought to recollect that his arose from the excellence of our Constitution hat system vf hie'h vvas established by the wisdom of bur ancestors, and he hoped would be perpetuated 1 if our posterity. It was among'the great benefits of our Constitution that it corrected all evils as they at'* se; and he trusted we should never be so bewil- dered by visionaries as, like the dog in the fable, to mistake the shadow for the substance. The Noble : Earl concluded by moving' an Address, which em. jbodied the Royal Speech, and assured his Majesty of the sympathy and support of the house. Lord LORTON, with sincere satisfaction, rose to Second the Address, which bad been so ably prbpo'sed by his noble friend who had just sat dfrwn. There were many topics in his Majesty's most gracious peech of a highly exhilarating nature. T lie'flour- ish ing condition of our manufactures, the prbsperity of our agricultural and finctuciarconcerns, were sub- jects calculated to awaken the most lively interest; and to excite the m6st ardent hopes that the difficul- ties under which this country had suffered frOm the late war had ntieriglh arrived at a happy termination, and that the glorious era so anxiously looked for, in which all our domestic and foreign relations should assume their original importance, was realized to the wishes of the nation. These subjects had been so ably discussed by the Noble Lord who preceded him bs to obviate the necessity of any detailed comments , bn his part. But there was one topic in his Majesty'* speech which their Lordships would permit him to dwell upon, as it referred to that part, of the United Kingdom with which he was most particularly con nected. Ireland had always been considered as Country hard to be ^ Overned. In approaching Subject of so much difficulty, it should be hisendea- jvOur to exclude all party feelings from his mind, and he would request their Lordships to lay aside any prejudices that might possibly exist to the injury of free discussion. There were numerous difficulties Opposed to the welUgovernment of Ireland. One of them arose from the moral condition of the people, who, though they were capable of becoming a sup- port and an ornament to this country, had been open to the practices of designing men, who were hostile to British connexion. The want of education was one of the great evils under which they laboured, and, as a consequence of that want, the grossest superstition was to be found iti many parts of the country. The Noble Marquis at the head of the Irish Government had more difficulties to encounter than he expected in the discharge of his arduous office, but he had never flinched. On thp contrary, he had devoted his splendid talents, under all dis- couragements, 1 to better the situation, and to soften the rancour of all parties. The state of Ireland | night be fairly described as an 14 imperium in im~ l& erzo." Its population was immense, and, generally speaking, without' employment, and the property drawn from it annually by absentees, to he expended elsewhere, amounted to £ 2,000,000. Of these ab- sentees there were two classes. One class consisted of those who, having great estates in this country as well as in Ireland, could not be expected to reside there. But he thought it was not too much to ask of these proprietors that they should occasionally visit Ireland, in order to look into the condition of their tenants, and devise the best means for their improvement. At all events, it became them espe- cially to " be careful in the selection of their agents, and see that those persons who were to represent them on their distant estates should be properly qualified in temper, character, and intelligence. He was happy to say, that among his own acquaintances there were a few who attended properly to this point, and were consequently in no need of advice from any quarter, though it was much to be wished that their example had been more extensively adopt- ed. This brought him to the other class of absentees, who, having 110 hereditary property in England, had no excuse for deserting their native country. It was gratifying to him to hear that some, of those had lately returned; an event from which there was every reason to expect the best consequences. Much was doing, but much still remained to be done. Tu his Majesty's Ministers he felt every confidence, but there were many things beyond their contronl. The Irish Nobility and Gentry must depend 011 themselves in a great measure for the establishment of that state of things which was desirable in every view, either as it affected themselves or the public at large. Among other good symptoms at present existing-, be was happy to find that a general spirit of enquiry into tiie affairs of Ireland was awakened, and in active operation in this country. This spirit had been first called into action by the visitation of scarc- ity in the year 1822. It was then that the philan- thropic spirit of England exerted itself in behalf of fheir suffering fellow subjects in the sister Island, and, in so doing, did more to unite- the two countries iu the bonds of amicable connexion than all the Acts of Parliament that ever were passed. Indeed, if it was not for the efforts of certain orators, it is probable the triumph of good feeling- had been complete. He trust- ed their Lordships would enter Upon all Irish questions with candour; and that, instead of loading the Government in their speeches with charges that could not be fairly maintained, they would endeavour by their own acts to counteract those evils which must continue until they placed this Irish tenantry on a footing* with their British fellow subjects. The Marquis of LANSDOWN began by expressing his Concurrence in that part of his Majesty's Spefech, which alluded to the Agriculture of the country. It gave him great satisfaction to observe, while he admitted the improvement which had taken place, that it was acknowledged, in the words of the Speech from the Throne, to have taken place from natural causes. Feeling*, as he did, the great weight of debt which pressed uptfn this country, but never despairing of the extent of her resources, it was particularly gratifying to his mind to hear this acknowledgment of natural causes at last superseding* the false maxims so long and so violently maintained. The admission, that the present success of our agri- culture proceeded from the remission of taxation, and the increased freedom of trade, was one that augured favourably for the future. That the creased freedom of trade had a considerable influence on the renovation of agriculture was not only true the present instance, but would be found in all cases to have operated in the way, even to a greater extent than the advocates of free trade themselves expected — His Lordship then adverted to our Fo- reign Policy, and said he should have wished the Speech from the Throne to have contained some sentiments in condemnation ofthe manner in which Spain had been treated by France and the other Allied PiJwers, whose policy ami mode of Goveru- merit his Lordship condemned at great length. The' appointment of British Consuls to the New States of South America, his ' Lordship hoped was only; a jrelude to our more explicit recognition of their Independence. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that, taking the first part of the'Noble Marquis's Speech, namely, the iiiteVnal state of the country, he was happy to- find that even the Noble Lord himself admitted it to be most prosperous. He ( Lord Liverpool) believed, that with a few exceptions, there could be found tn ' the. country hut ofte opinion upon this point. In- deed, he might venture to say,- without any word of exaggeration or inflation, that at no former period jlid the country enjoy a more general state of internal ' appiness and prosperity than it did at present. This, he believed, would be found to be the universal eeling of all the great interests of the country. And here he joined the Nb'hFe MAVQIIRS in expressing liiu c; itic'f-. Votiiit 1 t fiiV'fl'inrr I hnI n rtrb'iVl't cii ' tioiWfwMQ I • Address, which, as usual, was an echo of His Majesty's Speech; and sat down amidst the general applause of the House. Mr. DALY seconded the Address at considerable length.— The discussion now took the same course as the Lords.— Mr. BROUGHAM condemned our Foreign Policy, and was replied to by Mr. CANNING, who defended the conduct ofthe British Government. The Right Hon. Gent, stated, in reference to South America, that a proposition for recognizing the inde- pendence of her Sout h American Colonies had been made by Spain, that the answer of the British Government to that proposition was now on its way to Madrid, and that when a reply to that answer should have been received, the British Government could speak more explicitly as to the recognition of the independence of those Colonies. Be the result of this proposition what it indy, our line of conduct would still leave ns unfettered as regarded either the Parent State or the Colonies.'- The Right Hon. Gent, in reference to Catholic Emancipation, as connected with Ireland, said^ he still retailed the same- Opinions he had ever entertained upon that subject. Mr. PEEL said, the Learned Gent, opposite ( Mr. Brougham); in the course or" his speech, seemed to have inferred that Catholic Emancipation was to be Conceded to those in Ireland who had been long Asking for it; and as his Right Hon. Friend ( Mr. his satisfaction at finding that a result So beneficial l Canning) had taken the opportunity of had been brought about by natural causes. Their Lordships well knew^- the other House of Pariiamen't Well knew— the executive government well knew—- the applications made day after day, and session after session, for relief from the various distresses under which the country laboured. Every consideration was given to these complaints, but nothing was, because nothing could be, done, for their relief. That relief was now afforded by the operation of hatural causes, the distresses of the country were effectually, and he trusted permanently removed, & nd he rejoiced. to say without any tampering inter- ference of Parliament.— His Lordsii\ p then proceeded to defend the conduct of Government in its foreign relations, and to vindicate'flie strict neutrality which had been adopted, and Which, especially as related to Soiith Ameriba,' left us unfettered to pursue that ( bourse which would be most conducive to the in terests Of the country'. He came now to a topic on which the Ndble- Marquis had not touched; aod which he hoped would be treated with temperate care by Others— he meaat the state of our West India posses- sions. On this subject he hoped their Lordships Would do w hat was i ight— that they would obey tlx dictates of duty, both in consulting the improvement and protection of the slave and the security and nghts of the planter, who had acquired property under our laws; but that they would avoid all angry discussion~ that they would use 110 intemperate lan- guage— that they would avoid topics of inflammation, hot knowing to what evils intemperate or impru- dent language might lead. He came now to the ^ tate of Ireliind. Many opportunities would occur; Tor discussing the ^ interests connected with'Ireland, and he would not, therefore, enter upon them at any • length now. What the Noble Seconder of the ad- dress had said came with peculiar force from him, On account of his residence in that Country. His ' Majesty's GoVertiment had directed their attention to the subject of the evils' of Ireland.; but, unfoitu. nately, the greatest Cvils were not of a nature to admit of a 1 legislative remedy. The Noble Earl ( Liverpool) then alluded to the state of the police, jand the effect of the tithe- bill passed last session. The tithe- bill was discussed at considerable length ' last session. It was then admitted by him that it ' might not have any immediate effect in removing the evils complained of, aiid that 110 system could be corrected at OtiCe. If" the'experiuient was limited,, we" at least knew'where We were, and how far we might proceed. The effect of the bill had, however, exceeded his most sanguine expectation. Out of 966 parishes which were offered for its adoption, it was in actual operation in 216. Its operation had been happily established in districts where it was most necessary, and where the greatest difficulties were to be encountered. The Noble Earl concluded by expressing a hope that other measures would soon be matured for the benefit of Ireland, and giving his support to the address. Lord HOLLAND, at great length, arraigned the policy of the Contnten'tai'Powers, arid condemned the lameness with which the British Government had permitted not only the invasion of Spain, but " jollier infringements « f liberty on the Continent. The Address was then agreed to nem. dis. expressing lus sentiments on the subject, he ( Mr. Peel) should adopt the same course, and take the same opportunity of repeating his determination 0/ opposing the Catholic Claims, whenever they might be brought under the consideration of Parliament. Mr. HUME complained that there was no distinct it& tenient in the Speech from the Throne as to what taxes were to be taken off', and what amount of relief Was to he afforded to the country. 1' lie CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER said it wan. his intention 011 an early day, probably in the course of a fortnight, to . give to* the House a thorough explanation of the views of his Majesty's Government as to the state of the finances of the country, and the course of measures which they should feel it their duty-- to recommend to the adoption of the House. Under these circumstances, lie trusted neither the Hon. Gentleman nor the House would consider that he was wanting in proper respect, if he declined at present entering into any specific statement of th( e measures Which it was his intention to Submit in so short a period, and which he trusted would prove Satisfactory both to the House and to tbe cotmtry. The Address was then carried nem. con. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. Mr. HOBHOUSE gave notice, that on the 2d of March he should move for a total repeal of the Window Tax. Mi*. CALCRAFT gave notice, that 011 the 25th of February he should move for a total repeal of the Tax on Leather. Mr. ROWLAND HILL was about to bring up the Report on the Address; wlien Mr. HOBHOUSE rose to complain of the conduct of the British Govern- ment, in- relation to the South American Colonies, and the Greeks.-— Mr. CANNING defended the con- duct of the Government; which was further blamed by Mr. WESTERN and Col. PALMER.— Sir T. LETH- JBRIDGE commended the conduct of Ministers with J- egard to Spain; and the Report was then brought inp and agreed to. Some other notices of motions were given; and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COTMONS, FEB. 4. Resolved,— That this House will not receive any Petition for Private Bills, after Friday, the 20th day of February. Resolved,— That no Private Bill be read the first time after Monday, the 22d day of March next. Resolved,— That this House will not receive any Report of such Private Bill, after Monday, the 17th day of May next. HOUSE OF COMMONS-^ TUESDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at three o'clock* when the House was summoned to the House of Lords to hear the .{ Commission for opening Parlia- ment read.- r- On the Speaker's return; - several new Members took the oaths; after which the Speaker read a copy of His Majesty's Speech. Mr. ROWLAND HILL ( Member for the County of Sjalop) then rose and said— 1Mr. Speaker, I should . not. have ventured to present myself to the House, for the firsl time, 011 this important - occasion, if I were not convinced that the indulgence lo those who juridctftake to move the'Address to the Throne is always in prdpoi- tion to the necessity there may be for showing it.—( Cheers.)-*•? With a full sense of my own inability to perforiirthis task, I trust I may rely on even a'larg'er portion of their kindness than they have been called upon lo shew 011 any former occa- sion. Nothing, indeed, should have induced me to undertake it, but the full persuasion that the Address of Thanks I shall have to move to His Majesty, for the most gracious Speech which we have just heard, will be received- with the unanimous approbation of this House. Sir, I think myself particularly fortu- nate that this dirty has fallen to my lot at a time when, from the very gracious sentiments contained in His Majesty's Speech, it will be extremely diffi cult for any man to find • the means of raising a discordant voice.*- rf Cheers.)^ Sir, when I look back to the last few years of our history ; when I recur to the stupendous exertions and unequalled difficulties of the long war in which this country has been engaged, and the consequent distress arising from those exertions and those difficulties; 1 say, when I contrast that state of the country with its present condition^ I am filled with admiration and astonish went; and the suddenness of the change arid- the rapid contrast in our situation appear to be more like the Creation of some superior power, than to flow from the ordinary operation of human Councils,— ( Cheers.)— Within seven years of a war, which had endured for a quarter of a century, in which al| Europe was engaged— but the resources mainly sup- plied by Great Britain— we find our commerce extended to the remotest corners of the globe— Cheers-— our manufactures in the highest prosperity — and public credit, the life- blood of the State, full of animation and vigour; while that which is the most important interest of them all, the agricultural, with which my own, and the fortunes and welfare of those I have the honour to represent, are must inti mately connected, is in a gradual state of ameliora- tion.—( Loud cheering. J— In addition to this grati- fying prospect, I am happy to be able to add, tha from Ireland, hitherto the dark quarter in our poli- tical horizon, a ray of light has broken forth, which 1 hail as the augury of future improvement. By the wise removal of invidious distinctions and restrictions in our mutual commerce, by an extension of the blessings of education, and by a cordial sympathy in her sufferings in times of calamity, the reflect in part ofthe people of Ireland have been convinced of the deep interest which Englishmen take in her welfare; a conviction which will ultimately tend to make her a large participator in that happy state which makes ns the envy and admiration of the world. In common with every lover of peace and of iny country, I rejoice at the continued assurances of the friendly disposition entertained by Foreign Pow- ers towards his Majesty ; and it is an act of justice in me to offer my. humble tribute of applause and gra. titude to His" Majesty arid to his Ministers, for the undeviating neutrality which this country has maintained during the late partial agitation of the Continent ; a neutrality which I am persuaded has prevented the rekindling of a war throug- hout the States of Europe, and has established the peace of the world on a foundation of no ordinary stability.— CLoud cheers.)— In referring* to that part of His Majesty's Speech in which he has commanded the estimates of the present year to be laid before the House, I have to congratulate you— affording as it does a striking proof of the prosperity of the public finances— that, even after provision is made for the expenses incidental to an augmentation which His Majesty has been under the necessity of making in both his naval and military force, the expectation is held out that some means may be found of relieving several branches of our national industry. The ex- pediency of this augmentation of force is unhappily founded on the state of the West India Isles. I cannot, however, but indulge the hope, that a steady and calm investigation will prove, that the true interests ofthe Colonists are inseparably connected with the moral improvement and'meliorated condition ofthe slave population; and that the chief cause of tbe military augmentation will soon cease to exist. Offering, therefore, my grateful thanks to the House for the kindness with which they have heard me, I shall move that an humble Address be presented to His Majesty. ^ The Hon. Member then moved the SHERIFFS. APPOINTED BY His MAJESTY IN COCNCIL, FOR TUB YEAR 1824. ' Shropshire— John Wiilgfielil, Esq. of Onslow. Cheshire— Peter La> ngford Brooke, Esq. of Slere.
