LONDON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28. By a private letter from Sincapm- e, we learn that the Hon. Company's Resident, Mr Crawford, has made a strong representation to the Bengal Go. veinment, nn the propriety of seizing upon two provinces; at the neck of Hie Malay peninsula, at present in the possession of the Burmese : anil that these provinces ilnj afterwards be retained by the British Government, or delivered over to their old masters, the Siamese, upon condition that they permit a free transit to British, goods ioto that part of the country. Should this arrangement be followed up, it will put our Government in pi s. session of one of the very finest harbours in all India, within not mote thiyi ISO miles of the capital of Siam, towards which ( here is an easy means of conveyance for nearly two thirds of the way, by a tine navigable river, and by this means the trade of Great Britain will, be greatly extended in a part of the world from which hitherto it has been tirtnally excluded. A copper mine, mixed with sulphur, has just been discovered at Park ha wn, near ( iorey. An engineer, sent dywn for the purpose, has reported very favourably of it to the Irish Mining Com pany. We have some pieces of the ore now before which were found close to the surface of the earth, and whieb appear to be of excellent quality, it is matter of astonishment lhat Ihe vast internal resources of the couutry have not beeu turned to account long before this. Every where i| abounds in mines and quarries, from lead to gold— fiom slate to marble, in the midst of an industrious but half famishing population, lis divisions and its poverty ( perhaps the consequence of its divisions) have hitherto paralysed all its exertions, aud made us look to strangers for lhat with which we could ourselves amply supply others. Employment for our population is chiefly wanting lo make our country peaceable, prosperous, aud happy.- Wexford Herald. SMITH'S PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS.

SE COMMERCE.— China is ( o the natives of the further East, what Great Britain is to all America, and to many of the nations of the Con- tinent of Europe. She supplies them with manu- factured goods, with physic, ieligion, and literature, with ^ trology ( if not with astronomy), and with emigrants, aud receives in return lb? rough produce of their forests, or the peculiar- products of their agricultural industry. She furnishes every where teas, coarse pottery, umbrellas, fans, shoes, and sacrificial paper. She furnishes to the Ton ( join ese and 0<$ hin" Chinese wrought satins and gauzes - fo the^ Siamese, crapes, mirrors, ancl ornaments for their temples-, to the Malayan tribes, raw silk. The Chinese Colonists, placed under favourable circumstances, have been abie. to exceed, or surpass, the industry of the mother country. It is thus that in Java,' the PhUlipines, and Siam, they manu- facture sugar * in Si^ m, iron and iron " utensils, which, within the last, twelve years, have super! seded those qf China: ^ inT that in Borneo, and in the Malayan Peninsula, tjyey have wrought mines of gold and tin, superior in productiveness to those of their own country. The Chinese colonists of the countries with which China carries on a trade, may be safely estimated at one million, of whom Siai. ti contains by fur the largest number j and the hands actually engaged in navigating the junks them- selves may fie moderately, estimated. at from 18,01) 0 to 20,000!

THE BitITISII N4VY— The tonnage of the Iiristish Navy, in round numbers, may be taken at 450,000. The expense of building, taking one vessel with another, £ 20 per too. The value of all at £ 9,000,000 To the expense of bulls nmst be added the cost of masts, sails, cordage, and many otlifer articles for equipment. This doubles he amount, making £ 18,000,000 for the primary sum laid out 011 men of war. The durability of the ships iu time of peace may be estimated at 14 ears— in time of war at 10 years. The average 12 years; consequently about £ 1,500,000 is annually expended ii> keeping these bulwarks in n efficient state. The Admiralty have given orders for Ihe building of three vessels ( the Orestes, 1' ylndes, and ChamptonJ of the same length, breadth, and depth, with a view of trying he relative merits of the systems of professor Inman, Captain Hayes, and Sir Robert Seppings. A correspondent in the Farmer's Journal, give9 the following advice to farmers, iu respect to selling their barley at the present time :—" Should the farmers continue to send only their best barley to market, there can be but little doubt but tire ports will be open for barley. They should, there- fore, immediately change their system, by sending the very worst they have, by which means they ensure to Ihernselves a market for their inferior barley for the next three months, and to a cer- tainty it will not operate against the price of the best." At Southampton theatre on Friday, ( lie I5tl| inst. Mr. ( ncjedon took a farewell of his early patrons. He sang Mack eyed Susan, & c.— aiu'j look part ill the duet of All's Welt with Mr. Bolton. The circumstance of this being the firsf town in which he ever appeared before the public as 1111 aspirant to their favors, has always rendered him an object of peculiar interest to its inhabitants ; and as his meteoric progress soon made him appeai- as a planet among the theatrical stars of that day, ( 17JS4) the good people of this town esteemed it an honor that the name of this celebrated ballad singer owed, in part, 10 their discriminajion, the conse- quence that has been attached to it. Forty yearn ago be was singing ill the tap- room of a pnblit* house in this town, thou called the Three ' Puns when Mr. Grant, the leader of the baud, having been iu company wjth some musicians in the same house, heard Mr. Incledou singing.

This is in part ascribed to the increased rigour with which the Jews are treated in Russian Poland. There were fewer Greeks jireseut than had been seen there at Easter. The consequences of the depreciation of property in the West Indies are beginning to make their appearance in the reduction of Ihe salaries uf the " highest public officers: in Antigua, the Governor's salary is reduced from £ 5000 lo £ 3C00, and that of the Chief Justice from £ 1000 to £ 000.

The column, il adds, will be of grand proportions, with the simple inscription— 44 Erected to commemorate the Peace of 1815— May it be lasting as this pillar." The four sides will be faced w ith four reliefs emblematical of Peace bestowing her blessings on the four quarters of the civilized world ; and lite whole will be crowned with a colossal statue of his present Majesty. An action came oti to be tried in the Court of King's Bench oa Wednesday which involves a ques tion of great p- iblic interest, namely, whether the fair, uneoioured statements comprized in Police Reports may he innocently published to theWorld \ whether or not such Reports are actionable ? The action is brought against the Proprietors of the Morning Herald by a far. Andrew Duncan, an attorney in London, who was before the Magis- trates in July 1823, charged with an attempt to violate the person of a girl only thirteen - years of age. There were two hearings of the case, and the Morning' Herald published a fair Report of each of them. These Reports Mr. Duncan deems to be libellous, and he has in Consequence prosecuted. Counsel have laboured industriously and ing- eni- ously on both sides, aud the trial was adjourned from Tuesday to Wednesday. In the course of their arguments, Mr. lawes pleaded for the defendants that the Question now fairly arose, < 4 Whether a true account of proceedings ai Police Offices, in open Courts, might not innocently be given to the World ?" T o which Mr, Justire Bayley observed : i( Then they should be Courts which ought to be open— which, bylaw, the Public have a right to enter-— and not Courts which are oniy open by the sufferance of the Magistrate." — And in another part of the a^ gnmeuts the same learned Judge said : li lam certainly of opinion^ that to publish ex- aminations before a Coroner, in a case yet to be tried, is highly criminal, as it tends to prevent a fair trial arTerwards'."- rThe ' Proprietors of the Morning Herald justify their publications, on the gr. mnds that they were fair and unprejudiced Re- ports, without any malicious- or improper motive.— Mr. Duncan was held - to. bail to take his trial for the offence charged lo him, after ihe second hear- ing.— On Wednesday- the Counsel resumed their nrguments, and it was contended that Police Re- ports were mischievous, and frequently . tended to gtigmalize parties hy the publication of charges which in the end v\ ere often proved to he quite groundless.— The Court then rose, and judgment was deferred to a future day. Trial of Mr. Fauntleroy. OLD BAILEY.— The trial of this individual having1 been positively fixed for this morning, the pub; ic anxiety to witness the proceedings was strongly manifested at a very early hour. The body of the Court soon became exceedingly crowded. The galleries seemed to be reserved for higher bidders. Upwards of 30 volumes of Bank of England books were piled upon the floor to the left of the Jury- box, Whole sacki'uils of documents were afterwards placed on the floor, besides huge folios of various descriptions. Messrs. Gurney, Alley, Brodrick, and Phillips were the Counsel for the prisoner. Messrs. Attor- ney- Genera!, Serjeant. Bosanqaet, Boll, and, and Law conducted the prosecution. At. ten o'clock, Mr. Justice Park and Baron Gar row took their seats; the Lord Mayor and tive Aldermen were on the bench. Mr. Fauntleroy was immediately placed at the bar. On entering the Court he was so much de pressed, that it was apparently with exceeding difficulty he could support himself. His Utterance of " not guilty," and u by God and my country," was in a tone of voice distinct, but suppressed by his feelings. He was dressed in black, and was extreme1v pale. As soon as he had pleaded, he was indulged with a chair, upon which he sat; during the trial, resting his head upon his crossed hands, and covering the lower part of his face with a hand! kerchief, except when roused from his depression by some communication from bis Counsel. • Th? jury having been sworn, the Clerk read the indictment. Which consisted of {. wocounts ; the first charging Henry Fauntl. eroy with forging a certain deed, with Intent, to defraud Frances ' Young of £ 5- K) t) stock; and the second charging him with forging such power of attorney, with intent to defraud the Bank. The Attorney- General stated the case to the jury, in . doing which he studiously abstained from saying more than giving a plain statement of the facts, and then proceeded to call witnesses. Joint Tyson and John Watson, clerks in the hank in Berners- stroet, proved that the signatures of their attestation of the. execution of the power of attorney for the transfer of Miss Young's stock, were .' forged and that, the instrument uas tilled up iu the hand- writing of Mr. Fuuutle. roy.- Mr. Browning, of the Bank of England, proved that Mr. Faunlleroy had a. yted upon the instrument on 1st June, 1815.-— Miss Young ( an elderly lady) proved that her name Kityned to the power of attorney', was a forgery; and thill at the time at which it purported to be'signed by. her iu London, she was residing at Chichester. The day- book of the bank in Berners- street, and the private ledger of the paitners, were then pr d iced, and proved by the clerks, who stated that Mr. Marsh, one of the . partners, was. in the habit of receiving dividends up - i stock, a> t the Bank of England, according to a list prepared by Mr Fauntleroy. One of these lists, in Mr. Faumleroy' hand- writing, was produced, of the date of 1816 if gave Miss Young credit for but £ 450. The day book of the same year, on examination, appeared contain an entry ( also in Mr. Fauntleroy's hand writing) giving Miss Young credit for £ 5450, and this sum appeared to be continued to that lady' credit iri the successive day.- books, for all the follow ing years. - Mr. Spin- ling-, who had acted as broker proved the sale of . Mi. ss Young'* stock, on 1st June, 1815, at. 59; the produce, £ 2 « 5<>, was found to tally exactly with an entry ot the same lo the credit of Mr. Fauntleroy's personal account ou the same date in the private ledger. Plank, the police- officer, and Mr. Fresb'ield solicitor to the Bunk, then deposed, that after Mr Fa untie roy's arrest, they had found in the bank in Berners- street two tin cases, one of which contained a great number of private memorandums and diaries in the prisoner's hand- w riting, and the sate note of Miss Young's stock, which, had the transaction been regular, would have been filed in the office. Along with these they. lound a paper wholly in the hand- writing of the prisoner, containing a; list of . names, including Miss Young's, with sums annex- ed, amounting in the whole to £ 17,0,000, followed by this declaration : In order to keep up the credit of the house, I have forged powers of attorney for the transfer of the above sums without the knowledge of my partners. I have regu- larly posted the dividends to the credit of the several pa rti es as th ey becaro e due. " May 7,1816, " HENRY FAUNTLERO'Y. P. S. The Bank first began by refusing our accept- ances, whereby they tried to destroy our credit; they shall smart ioj? it." ' , ' ' . V The case for the prosecution being closed., - the prisoner read a long written defence with con- Mence and animation. He directed his address principally to the false imputations thrown upon lim by the public press; declared that all he had done, he had done to save a sinking establishment ; gave a. deplorable account of the distresses of an embarrassed bank, and a painful pic lire of his own mental sufferings since his connexion with the house in Berners- street. After he had read this a per, he appeared to relapse into the same state " internal agony as iti the preceding part of the iaf. [ The points to which the prisoner more particu- larly referred were, that the embarrassments arose from the concern being in 1807 ( when the prisoner succeeded his father as a partner) involved in building speculations, to cover which £ 100,000 was advanced in order to avert irreparable losses. In 1810, a further overwhelming loss was occasioned by the fail ure of Messrs, Brick wood & Co. bankers, for whom the concern had accepted and discounted bills to the amount of £ 170,000. In 1819, the most ponsible partner of the house died, and his share was paid up. All these drawbacks were made up by the acts for which he was n > w arraigned. The Papers had accused him of gambling, profligacy, extravagance, and misconduct to his wife. He declared most solemnly that these, charges . fyvere. nl I. false, and that all the acts for which be was now on his trial were done to support the credit of the establishment, though wholly without, the know- ledge of his partners, for whom he was the sole manager of the concern.] The prisoner then called sixteen or seventeen gentlemen of the first commercial rank, amongst whom were Mr. T. Wilson aud SirC. Forbes, who gave him the highest possible character At three o'clock, Mr. Justice Park proceeded to address the Jury ; he gave all weight to the high • haracier given to the prisoner that he could, but eminded the Jury that a crime like that eharged could not have been committed without the previous possession of character. The Jury then retired, and it> twenty minutes after returned a verdict of— Guilty of uttering. The Attorney- General, after some consultation with the Judges, said he would decline proceeding with the other six indictments. Mr. Justice Park then addressed the prisoner; and observing that, there was no hope of mercy in this world, advised him to seek it in the world to come. Ilis Lordship added, that he would receive sentence at the end of the Sessions. The prisoner, who seemed much affected, was then conducted out of Court, leaning on two per- sons. Mr. Fauntleroy has been represented as having sprung at no very remote degree from foreign ex- traction ; this is a mistake— his family is both ancient and highly respectable, and his ancestors are asceVtained to have been in England in the time of Richard II Mr. Fauntleroy's mother, who is between 80 and 90 years of age, is still liv- ing, but is unacquainted with the unfortunate situ- ation of her son. Mr. Fauntleroy had a rather superior collection of books, not however exceeding one thousand volumes, at. his residence iu Beruers- street. Many of them are valuable works. Amongst them is a 4< Pennant's London, illustrated," which has al- ready made some noise with the curious in books. It is one of the folio copies, of which a limited number was printed ; and it has been so bound as to admit prints or drawings of all the places, per- sons, &. e. mentioned bv Mr. Pennant. It was illus- trated by Mr. F. at the expense of several hundred pounds; where prints or copies could not be ob- tained, he was at the charge of having original drawings made especially for himself. Some of Pennant's London illustrated, have sold for £ 300 and £ 400 each : hut this is considered by far the most perfect copy that has yet been prepared. It has been honoured too with the inspection of Ma- jesty, the copy having been borrowed for such purpose ; and in the volume there is a Royal letter, acknowledging the loan — The volume also con- tains some autographs of memorable characters, fn the library, over the mantle- piece, & c. there are some good paintings by Dornenichiuo, & c An account received at I loyti X this" day, trom Portsmouth, dated October 3), states that on that day the great timber ship, the Columbus., had: pas- sed tiie Isle. of Wight. . .•• SHBEWSBVKY.

POSTSCRIPT. ION DON , Monday WIGHT, Nov. 1, 1824, All the continental accounts concur in the con- fusion that already reigns, aud is every day in Creasing, throughout the Turkish Empire. Revolt and disorder have unfurled their banners in the provinces of Europe, Asia, and Africa, subject to the Mussulman dominion. Tripoli has rebelled, and expelled its Governor, Auuoeh has follower the example. Upper Syria has deposed its Pacha, and threatens to withdraw itself from the Ottoman yoke. Discontent and epidemics afflict the prioei palities on the Danube. The Pacha of Acre is said to have rebelled ; and the campaign in Greece will end in defeat and disgrace. It becomes, indeed, eeery day more apparent, that the Empire of the Crescent is fast approaching to its dissolution. Accounts received from Brazil state, that Per- nambuco was taken, by the Imperial force under Lord Cochrane, on the 17th of September. GALWAY AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY — The Mayo Constitution gives some further par- ticulars of the occurrences at this meeting. The Report was read by the Rev. Mr. Pounder, of Ballinasloe, and the accounts stated, and a Reso Sution moved by the Rev, Denis Browne, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. TJrwiek, Independent Minister of Sligo, in an able and eloquent speech 4< that it should be adopted aijd printed." It was then that the uproar and disgraceful proceeding narrated in our 4th page took place. After the Archbishop had left the chair, the Roman Catho- lic Priests and their abettors voted a Counsellor Gutherie into the chair, and passed a string of resolutions, expressive of the tyranny and op- pression of his Grace the Archbishop of Tuam and ascribing all the miseries of Ireland to tithes, rents, & c. After noticing these resolutions, the Mayo Con. stitutioh savs— We have now only time and space to observe, that for ingratitude and falsehood they exceed any thing we have ever met with. The monstrous charges they bring against this. venerated and distinguished Digtwtar. y of the Established Church} whose character, as a Christian Minister and Patriot, in the truest sense of the word, stands deservedly eminent in public estimation, carry refutation on the very face of them, and cannot fail to brand with the in temperance, which they ascribe to his Grace, the movers and seconders of these inflammatory resolutions. We need only recal our readers to those seasons of famine and misery, from which the almost famished peasantry of Galway are just recovering into life,' when this excellent Prelate was to be found, wherever the calls of mercy and Christian philanthropy required his presence, placing himself between this starving p<? ojile, and a painful, frightful death, and ad- mihrsferiiig abundantly from his own purse to their pressing necessities, as well as directing the cha rities of the British nation, with wisdom and im partiality, and say, < k behold the return he has met with." But the Archbishop of Tuam does not look for popular; applause, or the gratitude: of his fellow Creatures, as the regard of his good actions. He has a higher and a nobler object, after which lie aspires, namely, 4' To approve himself a faithful servant, of his Divine Master, aud to walk in the path of Christian duty, through evil and through good report."

We are assured from unquestionable authority, the report ( given by Ihe Chester Cpurant tf Tues- day last) of Mr. Davenport's intention to retire from Parliament on the next Dissolution, is entirely without foundation.— Chester Chronicle. SAVINGS BANKS.— An article has appeared in several papers on the subject of those invaluable institutions, Savings Banks, which is calculated to mislead the depositors, and to create groundless misapprehensions and alarm. It is stated that persons having funds in more than one Savings Bank, after the ,20th November, will forfeit the whole ; and an extract of a clause in the'Act of Parliament is given in corroboration. This extract only a part of the clause iw the Act, and there, fore gives an erroneous impression. The Act alluded to is the 5th of George 4th cap. f » 2, passed on the 17th of June last, to have effect after the 20th of November, 1824 : the clauses of that Act only oblige persons, on making their first deposit after the 20th of November, to declare that they have no deposit in any other Savings Banks; and if such declaration shall be untrue, the deposits of such persons shall in that case, and in that case only, be forfeited. By another clause in the same Act, persons who may have deposits in more Savings Banks than one, are authorized to transfer the whole into one Savings Bank, in Order that the limitation to the amount of future deposits may be enforced, which otherwise could not be done.

The deceased was an excellent servant, and bad driven upon the road many years. Verdict— Accidental Death. To obtain the necessary level for the contem- plated rail road, from London io Edinburgh, it is alcirated that a deviation must of necessity, be made from the direct line, which will increase the distance from one capital 1 o the other probably to five hundred miles. From the travelling which must lake place on the same, from its importance, it may be presumed that three pair or courses of Tram Plates most be laid for this purpose, which will require Ninety Nine Thousand Tons of Iron to accomplish, independently of the immense quantities requisite to construct the carriages to tiavel on them.

I for a similar offence. The history intended lo be commemorated by the j Crispin Society, is founded partly on historical facts and partly on tradition. The circumstances nre a little out of our recollection, but il has its I origin in llie county of Kent. Crispin and Cris- I pinian are the assumed names of the sons of a King of Kent, who became, along with his family and friends, converts lo and zealous supporters of the Christian religion. This gave great offence to the Emperor Maximilian, who seized upon Ihe King, j and pat him and a number of his followers cruelly lo death. The sons escaped, and after various I sufferings were separated anil each supposed the other dead. Crispin fell into the haudsof ao honest shoemaker, who instructed him iu his craft, aud uilh whom he resided to Ihe age of manhood, gaining a high character for honesty and industry. A wai- al length broke toil in ihe south of Europe, and Maximilian engaged to send an army lo assist iu repelling an inroad, headed as the tradition tells, by an Indian Prinoe, To raise this force, Max- imilian bad recourse lo the conscription, and poor Crispin was laid hold of and sent lo the army. Here be signalised himself, and rose i. iio sach uotice, that upon ihe eve of a great battle he was sent un a mission lo the Indian Prince. By certain signs, known only lo the miff, the Indian Prince, who had also risen from the lowly rank of a shoe- maker's son, discovered Crispin's trade. This led j to friendship, personal friendship led lo a general peace, and llie Indian came to E igland with Cris. pin, who now became a chief leader iu the naliou. Ultimately discovered to be Ihe son of the murdered King, lie was restored to his kingdom ; aud in the I person of Hugh, who bad returned loaded with honours, also acquired in maintaining Hie cause of the Cliri.- liat> religion, be found his brother Cris. j piniaiK The Christian religion had by Ibis lime made rapid progress, and ou their death they were recorded in the Kalendar of Saints.

OPPOSITION TO THE BIBLE. Outrage offered to ( he Archbishop of Tu a rn* —~ o [ FROM TIIE DUBLIN MORNING STAR.] () « — It must be obvious to our Readers, from the many accounts which our pages have lately con- tained of the outrageous opposition given to the Bible Sovieties, that the Roman Catholic populace have been taught to view them as the foes of their country and their religion. This feeling, it ap- pears, has been inculcated with malicious ami successful industry. Upon every occasion, since the commencement of open war at Cork, the Bible Meetings hare been interruptedr not merely by the intrusion of the Priests, with thvir Jesuitical quirksr but by the more substantial arguments of their deluded myrmidons.. The holy fathers, finding themselves foiled in argu- ment— with all their impudence, and all their sophistry—- have been compelled lo use that influ- ence they so notoriously, and so unfortunately, possess over the mob ; and the consequence has been, a. series of alarming riots, which, unless means are taken to prevent their recurrence, must ultimately terminate in some horrible catastrophe. The Priests have laid claim,; in several instances, to the merit of allaying the turbulence of the commonalty, upon- these occasions. Good 6ot) I why do they continue to foster the spirit which leads to such atrocities? But we need not ask the question— fthe arguments of the Church of Rom< were never eHectual in repressing heresy, unas- sisted by the fire- brand and the gag I The first symptoms of this horrible system of intimidation were alarming enough; it, however, appears that they are now proceeding to a still more dangerous crisis. At Loughrea, on Tuesday last, 19th October, 1824, a meeting, of the County of Gal way Bible Society was convened in the Court- house of that town, upon which occasion his Grace the Archbishop of To am had signified his assent to the wishes of the Society, by taking the Chair. On the arrival of his Grace and the Committee,. it was found that the place of meeting had been taken possession of by a crew of ruffians while bauds of miscreants, armed with clubs, beset every avenue. It was with the greatest difficulty the Reverend Prelate himself succeeded in pene t rating to the Chair, and a number of the friend: of the Institution, who had contemplated taking part in the proceedings, were altogether excluded Notwithstanding these, evident- appearances of a hostile intention on the part, of the populace, the business of the Meeting proceeded quietly till the Report had been read, and the respected Chairman had put the question in the customary way, when suddenly a scene ensued which beggarsdescription The mob, as if by a preconcerted signal, burst ou into hideous yells, and the voices of the Gentlemen present were drowned by the most terrific outcries Brandishing of clubs, threats, and even, in many instances, personal attacks, were resorted to. The Rev. Archbishop, and the promoters of the Meeting, with difficulty escaped from the fury of the assail ants. We: have seen letters which describe tiie tumult to have been of the mosl appalling descrip tion, and which state that things at one time won so serious an aspect, that the officer on guard at. the barracks, adjoining the Court- bouse, ordered the I mops out, in full- expectation that the inter, position of the military would become necessary for the protection of the lives of ihe respectable attendants at the. Meeting, When wc reflect that ONE OF THE FIRST DIGNITARIES OF THE ESTABLISHEI> CHLRCH PRESIDED AT THIS M EB'TTNG— and that these daring aggressions proceeded to such a pitch, as absolutely to ENDANGER THE LIFE OF TH AMIABLE PRELATE, We feel we have not Ian guage to express our indignation at the INSULT which has been offered, in his person, to OUR HOLY RELIGION, and to THE WHOLE P?. io TESTANT POPULATION. Gracious Heaven tvhat would have been said if the august person of Doctor Doyle, or Doctor Murray, had been treated with the slightest disrespect by any members of the Established Church ? The island would have resounded with execrations at so gross a profana tion— the guilty ruffians would have been torn limb from limb at the instant ; hut alas! we have lived to hear our sacred institutions reviled every seditious mountebank demagogue ; and now we see an Archbishop of our Church menaced by a ruffianly mob, at the instigation of a turbulent ragamuffin Priest!!! The following is an extract from a letter we have received from Loughrea : — " Mr. Daly, a Popish Priest of Gal way, stood up to oppose'the Resolutions, and was proceeding to address the Meeting, when he was asked if he were a Member ? 44 After gi ving an evasive answer, he was informed that he could not be permitted to speak. 4< Mr. Daly, finding his efforts unavailing, in formed his Grace that he must do what would be very unpleasant to him. He, therefore, moved that his Grace should leave the Chair. 44 The Archbishop, in a most dignified manner informed him that he would not comply with h" wishes, unless compelled by force. This was ap proved of by the Members. " The scene of tumult and uproar which followed this spirited reply of his Grace, baffles description. —( Cries of 4 Out, out — no Chair, no Chair V fol- lowed from the mob, mingled with yells of the most frightful description ) 44 Having thus far succeeded in his wishes, M Daly addressed his noisy followers, and desire them to go to the Chapel, where they would liberty to speak and discuss the matter freely before their Bishop. Part followed him to the Chapel, and the remainder continued to disturb the Meeting in the most tumultuous manner, so that an adjourn iwent became unavoidable, without any opportunity being afforded to several Members, who had in- tended to deliver their sentiments on the occasion." Where are these horrible excesses to end? If the Popish population are to be irritated and inflamed by misrepresentation, and to be taught to rely upon their strength and numbers, for the sup- pression of an alleged proselytism— if Bible meet- ings are to be attacked and dispersed with im punity—- if ihe promulgation of the Word of God is to be resisted by force of arms, we may next expect our very places of worship to be attacked, and our' congregations lo be assaulted, maimed, and murdered! ! 1 tid adopted, by ( he advocafes aiid~ protessors ot Popery. We have had a vast deal of nonsense talked into us, about she irritation occasioned by party processions and Orange exhibitions, to the Catholic inhabitants; but we suppose that the Protestants, as good subjects and peaceful citizens, expected to submit with patience, and with- out complaint to such aggressions as those our Coirespondent describes :•— To the Editor of the Morning & tar. SIR,— RI he observations which, yon make in this day's Sta'r, of the apathy of the Protestants of our 11- fated country, in not coming forward in the support; of their ' Church and King, induces me to • espass on your time, while I state a few circum- stances which recently occurred in St. Catherine's Church, in this City. On Sunday evening three eeks, during the perfornianee, of the service,, one of the'Parish Officers was under the necessity- of taking a ruffian into custody, who had placed him- self ill front of the Clergyman, and byhi's grimaces and waggery interrupted him in the execution of his sacred office ; while, on the outside of the Church, and in defiance of the Beadles, whom they hen, and upon inauy former occasions, had assailed, . crowd of vagabonds Was collected, hooting and hunting, to the great annoyance of the congre- gation. Similar acts of outrage have subsequently occurred on each succeeding Sabbath ; so much so, that on last, Sunday evening it was deemed neces- sary to have a Constable and Police Officers sta. ioned in the Church to preserve order ! Thus you p, Mr. Editor, your predictions have been veri- d ; for the fact is, that we cannot now assemble n our Churches for Divine Worship, without the aid of the Civil Power lo protect us from insult, perhaps from murder ; for w hat are we to expect from such a ruthless crew, whose guide .. has pointed to them our venerable Church Establishment as a gorgeous nuisance," and one of whose Prelates iis said that, if 44 Rebellion were raging from Cape Clear to Cnrrickfergns, not a Clergyman of the Romish Church would raise his voice to prevent it." Youths most truly, A PROTESTANT. The Revenue, and Taxation. [ FROM BELL'S MESSENGER.] The Ministers, upon the meeting of Parliament, will have a disposable excess of revenue exceeding- one million per annum. The first and main consideration, under this flat- tering aspect, is, that all the resources of the ountrv are entire,—- that there exists an active rculation of agricultural, commercial, and mann- acturing capital through every branch of the com- munity ; and that consumption, employment, and beral expenditure are every where in operation. But it is in this operation in which the welfare and i- tte opulence of a community consist. It is not in money hoarded, but in money circulated, ft is only by the circulation of money that all the nu- merous sons of industry, thai is to say, ten million five hundred thousand, out. of the eleven million which England alone Contains, can be supported. In war, they are supported^, ki a good degree, by the expenditure of the State. In peace, they are hrown upon the agriculture, commerce, manu facture, and expenditure « f the rich. Accordingly, therefore, as such agriculture and expenditure are active and general, or hot, tlieSe classes are suffi- ciently, or insufficiency, supported. At present the demand is every where brisk and active, and Great Britain is, accordingly, comparatively the happiest kingdom in Europe. This is, therefore, the tkst conclusion from the prosperous condition of the Revenue. The Cus- toms, Excise, and indeed* the Revenue at large are the great toll- gate of the kingdom ; and when the amount of tolls is so great, it is an inevitable consequence that the amount of trade arid deal in. is proportionate. The one is but the per centag on tbe amount of the other. How rieh must be a people, who can afford to pay such taxes, and to pay them with such little apparent sacrifice'. In other countries, the people pay, indeed, small taxes; but, from the proportion of their more limited means, they sink under a burthen, in abso- lute magnitude so apparently small. Here, we gain much, and pay much. We pay as we labou heartily and cheerfully, and without grudging, anc without suffering. The second conclusion is, that this excess of revenue will enable the Minister to afford u further relief from our annual burthens, and thus to give an additional vigour to the'spring of our national resources. Every interest gains when taxes are reduced,— the people, in present ease, the Revenue, in resources husbanded, and wisely reserved till a time of need. 44 If no country in the world," in the words of Lord North, 44 can bear taxing like England, certainly, no country in the world ought to be so carefully taxed. Almost all taxes, in a community like ours, are a necessary deduction from actual and productive capital— are so much abstracted from the seed corn, and there fore, by a necessary consequence, a certain abridge ment from the future abundance of the harvest. It is, therefore, an act of equal wisdom and humanity to reduce taxes, where the opportunity is afforded, and accordingly all our wisest Statesmen have eagerly availed themselves of the occasion. The next question is, here is a million or a mil lion awl a half which the Minister may reduce in our annual taxes. What taxes shall be reduced? We answer, again and again, the ASSESSED TAXES. First, because the people will here gain all that the Minister will give. Secondly, because it will still further encourage and advance, as the former reduction has encouraged and advanced house- building ; and, in so doing, will continue and increase that active employment of all hands which-, we now see going forwards. In house, building'yalmost all the mechanical trades, and not only tho. se; hut ev; en general labour, are necessarily called into operation. An extensive system of building employs, as we see at the present time, all the lately unoccupied hands in the kingdom the mason, the carpenter, the smith ; all who deal in wood and metals ; the plumber, the painter, the glass- maker, the lime- burner, and the person whose land affords it; the ship that brings the. iron and stone, and all connected with them, masters and men ;— all are employed,—- all sell their goods, and obtain wages for their labour. In a word, the poor- rates have been diminished, and the whole kingdom is as prosperous and as contented as we nee it. Again, therefore, we say, still further reduce the House and Window Tax, and push the encouragement of this investment of capital to the utmost. Outrages on a Protestant Congregation. [ FROM. THE DUBLIN STAR.] The subjoined letter discloses some further cfTccis of the system of conciliation recommended. Effects of Age upon Fruit Trees. On this subject, Mr. Knight, President of the Horticultural Society, makes the following ob. servations : 44 The fact, that certain varieties of some specie! of fruits, which have been long cultivated, cannot now be made to grow in the same soils, and under the same mode of management which was a centurv ago perfectly successful, is placed beyond the read of controversy. Every experiment which seemed to afford the slightest prospect of success, was tried by myself and others, to propagate the old varieties of the Apple and Pear, which formerly constituted the / irchards of Herefordshire, without a singl • healthy or efficient tree having been obtained and, 1 believe, all attempts to pvopagate those varieties have, during some years, wholly ceased to be made. From experiments, made with the hope of being able to ascertain which, amongst the various organs of trees of aged varieties, first fail to execute their proper functions, I have come to the conclusion, upon the following and other evi- dence, that it is the leaf. Having obtained, by layers or cuttings, small plants of several of the most diseased of the old varieties of the Apple these were grafted within a couple of inches of iht surface of the soil with scions of new seedling and luxuriant varieties ; and under these circumstances the roots of the most debilitated and diseased var eties executed their office perfectly well, and were found, upon examination, at the end of several years, wholly free from every symptom of disease This process was reversed, and scions of old vari eties were employed as grafts ; but into the youn; growing shoots, which sprung from these, man< buds of new and luxuriant varieties vyere inserted and in the autumn every natural bud of the ok varieties was destroyed. The inserted buds vege tated in the following spring, and by these . efficient foliage was given; when every symptom of debi lily and disease disappeared, and the wood ant bark of the most exhausted and diseased varieties now continue a part of the stems of large apple trees, and present, at the end of thirty years, as much apparent, health as other parts of the stems of those trees. From these results I have inferred that the debility and diseases of such old varieties arise from the want of a properly prepared circu latiug fluid 5 and that when such is given by effici L T0ITS possesses the power to occasion tiie necessary secre- tions to take place, and the alburnum is enabled to xeeute all its offices. If tlie leaf gradually fail to xecute properly its office, a progressive debility, eceding a state of disease and decay, must" neces- sarily follow ; and this I have noticed in some ( iderately old varieties of the Apple a'rid Pear, he inefficient operation of the foliage commences : it the period when the original tree becomes, • cording to the ordinary course of nature, debilU ted by age ; and I suspect that much the greater part, of the varieties of fruit of different species,- hieh are now named in the catalogues of nursery- men, have already outlived the periods at which they best deserve the. attention of the planter. This emark I wish particularly to apply to the Peach nd Nectarine ; varieties of which, of eqnal excel- lence and niuch: superior vigour and IkrrdiifejSs, may be easily obtained from seeds ripeste^ W- the forcing- hoUsCs, if not upon the open walls of &, ur ardens." fHiscelUncmis 9nt* IHg* nce « NEW ROADS.—- There were no fewer than four- teen notices ported against, the doors of our Court- tfuie on Thursday, of intended applications to Parliament for new turnpike- roads in this neigh- bourhood.— Leeds Paper. A short time ago, a prisoner in the gaol at Bristol, confessed to the gaoler where an acquaint- ance of his was carrying on the businesss of coining, t Birmingham, and accurately described the ntricacics and mazes through which any one would have to pass before he could arrive at the mint; relying oh this information, the gaoler, ccotnpanied by an intelligent officer, went to Birmingham, and, pursuing'the instructions given them, they found every thing correct, and pounced pon the coiner, while engaged in his manufactory. Fiie man instantly submitted himself to the iu- uders,. saying— f" i am sold 5 fur - no one could ave fnuud me out without a split ; and, as I now my doom, 1 must bear it like a mail, and w ill go with you quietly wherever you please, only permit me to wash myself a nd put on my coat."

The man deliberately washed his hands nd face, and having pretty nearly prepared him- : elf, as it was thought, to go away, he all at once gave a jump on the floor, and descended as quick lightning through a trap. door, which was instantly closed, and the gaoler and his cot^ pajpon were, for the moment, petrified with astonishment, On recovering from their amazement, they tried the same experiment, but they had not the talisman, and the trap door would not yield to their efforts, and they now sought to return by Ihe same way that they had entered, in order to give an alarm, and pursue the fugitive, when to their no stiia mortification ami alarm, they found their retreat cut off by the door through which they entered being closed upon them ; and in this distressing dilemma they remained for between 2 and 3 hours, majking as much noise as they could to excite attention and obtain assistance. And, at last, on again trying the door, they found the fastening had been taken off, and, to their great joy, they made heir escape. The implements were taken pas session of, but the offender has hitherto eluded justice. A merchant, originally from Liverpool, having acquired a large fortune in one of our West India islands, concluded that he could not be happy in the enjoyment of it, unless he shared it with a woman of merit; and, knowing of none to his fancy, he wrote to a worthy correspondent of his in Liverpool, to procure 44 a helpmeet for him.' 1 He was not ac- quainted with any style except that used in business therefore, treating of affairs of love as of matters of merchandise, after giving his friend several com. missions, and reserving this for the lasf^ he went on thus— 44 Item— Seeing that I have taken- a resolution marry, and that f do not find a suitable match for me here, do not fail to send, per next ship bound hither, a voting woman- of the qualifications and form following : as for portion, T demand none: let her be of an honest family, between twenty and twenty- five years of age, of a middle stature, and well proportioned ; her face agreeable, her temper mild, her character blameless, her health good, ,' mid her constitution strong; enough to bear the changes i) f climate, thai there may h*/ no occasion to took out for a second through loss of the first soon after she comes to- hand — which must be provided ag^ amst as much as possible,, considering the great distance nd the dangers of the sea.

In witness whereof, I subscribe,& c." The correspond- ent read over and over this odd article, which put the future spouse on the same footing with the: bale of goods lie was to send to his friend, and after admiring the prudent exactness of the West Indian ( whose integrity he well knew) and his laconic style in enumerating the qualifications which he insisted he endeavoured lo serve him to his mind, and after many inquiries, he judged he had found a lady fit for his purpose,— of reputable family, but slender fortune; of good temper, and polite education ; well shaped, and more titan commonly beautiful, lie made the proposal to her, and the young woman whose dependence was chiefly upon a cross o!< aunt,. with whom she lived in a state of perpetual uneasiness, accepted it. A ship, bound for the island, was then fitting out at Liverpool ; the yo& ng woman, together with the bale of goods, was put on board, being well provided with necessaries, and particularly with a certificate in due form, and in dorsed by the correspondent. She was also included the invoice, the last article of which ran thus Item — A young gentlewoman, of twenty- four year of age, quality, shape, and condition, as per order, as appears from the certificates and affidavits she has to produce," The writings which were thought necessary for so exact a man as Iter future husband, were, an extract from the parish register; a cerlifi cate of her character attested by the clergyman ; an attestation by her neighbours, setting forih that she had patiently lived for three years with an old aunt who was intolerably peevish, and had not, during all that time, given . ihe said aunt the least occasion of complaint; and lastly, the goodness of hereon stituiion was attested by four physicians. Befor the gentlewoman's departure, the correspondent sent letters of advice by other ships to his friend,, informing him that per such a ship he should seild a young woman, of such an age, character, condition & c. in a word, such as he himself had requested to be sent. The letters of advice, ihe bales, and the young woman, got safe 10 port, and the West Indian who was one of the foremost on the pier at the Iady'! landing, was charmed to see so handsome and inter, esting a female, more especially when she, approach ing him in the most gtaceful and modest manner, said, " Sir, I have a bill of exchange upon you, I beg' you will be pleased to honour it " At the same time she delivered his correspondent's letter, on reading w hich he exclaimed, * vAb ! Madam, I never vet suffered my bills to be protested, and I ass. ur you this shall not be the first. I shall reckon myself the nrost fortunate of men, if you allow me to dig. charge it.'* 4k Yes, Sir," she replied, 44 and the more willingly, since I am apprised of your eharac ter; we had several persons of honour on hoard, who knew you very well, and who gave you so ex alted a character, that I feel the most perfect esteem for you."

Dr. John Langhorne, being one day in company with a very beautiful young lady, fixed his eves upon her till her sensibility took the alarm, her blushes glowed, and she exhibited evident marks of confusion. The Doctor observing the mischief that he had occasioned, felt that he had beetj too par tieular, and therefore, by way of apology, said 44 i ask your pardon, young lady, for the earnest ness with which J have regarded your lovely features; but, indeed, my thoughts were not those of an admirer, hut, on the contrary, 1 was coi). templating w hat havoc death must one day make in that beautiful countenance." Though by this observat ion the young lady was thrown into greater confusion than before, she had the spirit to reply, 14 I am sorry, Sir, that your thoughts have taken so grave a turn with respect to my couutenance at the same time I congratulate you, that it is im, possible for even death itself to make much altera tion lit youths." mm ( if fweuty ounces and three quarters, was lately presented to llie Horticultural Society of London by Mr. Harry Dobree,. of Guernsey.

He was accompanied in bis expedition by two gentlemen, mui conducted by one of the natives of the country as a guide. They at length arrived at the spot, mid, without taking any notice of some felkuts I10 were sauntering about Ihe place, descended by opes into the vault. No sooner were they let lown than they were presented with a spectacle hich struck them with honor. Two gentlemen, pparently starved lo death, lay before them ; one f these unhappy victims had a tablet in his hand, on which was written, in very pathetic language, the story of their lamentable fate. It seemed that they were brothers of rank and family in Venice, mi having in the course of their travels intrusted hemselves with one of the natives for the purpose of visiting Ihe catacomb, the perfidious villain had ft them lo perish. The danger to which Mr. Hill and his friends were exposed instantly alarmed them. They had scarce read Ihe tale, when, looking up, they beheld their inhuman guide, assisted by two others, whom they had seen near the spot, closing the entrance into the vault. They were now reduced to the utmost distress ; they, however, drew their swords, determined to make a desperate effort to rescue themselves from situation so appalling. With this resolution they were groping about at random in the dark, then they were startled at the groans of some one seemingly in the agonies of death. They listened lo the dismal sound, and at length, by the glim- mering light from the top of the catacomb, they saw a man just murdered, and a little beyond they beheld his inhuman murderers, flying with the utmost precipitation. They pursued them imme- listely, and though not able to come up with them, they had the good fortune lo reach the opening through which Ihe wretches escaped out of the avern, just before they had time to roll the stone on the top of it. A person who was present at a conversation in which a very dull play was talked of, attempted a defence of it, by saying, " It was not hissed.' " Very true," replied another, " I grant you that ; but 110 one can hiss and gape at the same time." REMEDY FOR.

A singular fact in geology has been this week disclosed, while boring for soft water, at Ihe foundry of Messrs. Cawood, in this town. For the ftrst thirty yards, the boring irons were not affected in any manner out of the usual way; beyond that point they became possessed of highly magnetic power, which continued till the irons had penetrated to- the depth of sixty yards ; afterwards the attraction ceased, and the boring is now proceeding without any effect being produced upon Ihe iron out of the ordinary way.— Leeds Mercury. FORGERIES.— It was remarked, soon after Mr Fauntleroy was taken into custody, that the forgery with which he was charged was the most extensive since the days of Aslett, who was so many years confined in Newgate. The fact is, that Aslett'i offence was not forgery at all, but a ftloniou: breach of trust, in embezzling and re- issuing Ex- chequer hills. The extent to which he had carried his depredations was enormous. At the General Court of Bank Proprietors, in July, 1S03, the. Directors slated, thn- t their loss by Aslett was up- wards of £ 300,000. At first it was reported to be half a million. We have iateiy liven informed that Aslett, since his lilteration, has resided at Paris where he now is, living on ralher a slender income! M'r. Ryland, the artist, who was executed in 1789. for forgery, so conciliated the friendship of the Governor of Tolhiil- fields' Bridewell, where he wa3 confined', that he not only had the liberty of the whole house and garden, hut when the other prisoners were locked up of an evening, the Go- vernor used to take him - out with him, and range the fields to a considerable dista- uc#; His friends, anticipating the consequences of a trial at this lime, concerted a plan by which Ryland was to effect an escape in one of these excursions, and which was to have been executed in such a manner, that the exoneration of bis guardian must have followed of course. But probable as it appeared, when men tioneil to the unfortunate man, he was so far from acceding, that he protested, that if he was at that moment to meet his punishment, he would embrace it with all its terrors, rather than betray a con fidence so humanely given. He had previously escaped, but was discovered, owing to his name being written within a pair of shoes which he gave ( o a cobbler to mend, who informed, and got the reward of £ 500. THE LAST OF THE ALCHYMISTS.— Dr. Price cultivated alchymy and astrology as late as the latter half of the last century : he was a physician and a member of the Royal Society. In 1784, he publicly proclaimed that he could make gold-, and had made it in the presence of several persons : he even presented some of it to the King. The Royal Society, however, empowered thecelebrated chemist Mr. Kirwan, and the alchymist, Woolfe, to ex amine into the pretensions of the doctor, and he was obliged lo submit to the trial. He first of ail excused himself by saying he had employed all the powder in the first attempt; but was compelled by reproaches to begin the task. In this state his ar forsook him; with anxiely he endeavoured to con vert mercury, by means of phosphoric acid, into ver; he performed experiments, which consisted in treating arsenic with volatile alkali, and what is called the Constantine experiment. All failed and he was called on to make some more, of his powder. After an uninterrupted labour of six weeks, he made his will, distilled for himself a pint of laurel water, drank it, and died in haif an hour at the age pf 62, a martyr lo a delusion that, even were it to be realized, would have no value, nor be of any utility. He was a man of great talents, bu of greater ambition, and aitped at tiie reputation of being the greatest genius of the age.

Durham Michaelmas Sessions.. [ From; the Durban' Advertiser.]. EASTER OFFERINGS. This was a case in which Peter Watson^ of radical Moriety, was the appellant,, and the Rev. William Nesfield respondent, and was an appeal against a istraie's order for the payment of Easter Offer- ngs. Mr. CooKsott opened the case, and addressed ihe Bench at considerable length. He said he felt glad, nd yet at the same time some little regret,- that the iseussion of this question was to come oil. He was lad that it was now to be brought to a decision, because it had been So long talked of. He could easily see why Peter Watson resisted the claim : he as a sort of knight- errant, a crusader against. ' Eas- ter Offerings, and travelled all over the Country to raise an opposition to the payment of them. His exertions were not solely confined to the parish of Chesterde- Street, but he was, in fact, an itinerant, who went from place to place, assembling niulti- ndes of people, and persuading them that Easter Offerings were an undue and an unlawful exaction. He ( Mr. Cook son) knew this from a circumstance that had occurred in a part of the country with which he is intimately connected, viz. North Dur- where the appellant bad promulgated to the nbabitants that he had got Mr. Brougham's opinion on the subject, and which was against the legality of all Easter Offerings. He ( Mr. Cookson) was, however, happy to say, that another person, who was ' nterested 011 the opposite side of the question, had actually got the opinion of that great lawyer on it, and he stated that Easter Offerings were due and payable of common right! He ( Mr. Cook son) would not enter into a history of an examination of the beneficial effects or the disadvantages of tiihes; he would say nothing on these points ; but while the ' aw of the laud said they were payable, they must be id, notwithstanding all Peter Watson's declarations the contrary. That Easter Offerings were payable of common right, he had no doubt his Learned Friend, Mr. Losh, as a lawyer, would allow. | n support of his arguments he would only quote two cases— one in the Court of Exchequer, and another " Egertou and Hill," in both of which tbev were decided to be payable of common right, though onl y claimed by custom,. The origin of Easter Offerings' could not be satisfactorily traced, but their being due of common right was of course sufficient, llav- ' ng said so much, he would now come to the town- ship of Chester- le- Street. Mr. Nesfield claimed Is. 8d. from Peter Watson, for two years' Easter Offer- ' ngs. Mr. Nesfield is the incumbent of Chester- le- Street, and of course entitled to the payment now demanded of Peter Watson. These Offerings were paid to different individuals, and in different places, in different manners. In some places they were paid to the Rectors, in others to the Vicars, and in others again to the Lay Impropriators ; and it is not a little hard that, in all those discussions which had so lately been before the public, the Clergy should be stigmatized as the only persons by whom all ihose Tithes, Oblations, and Offerings are absorbed. When charges of this nature were brought against this respectable body of men, it should be borne in recollection that they were not the only men who eat up the good things these Offerings afforded, but that there were also such men as Lay Impropriators, in wrbose possession at least one half of them were. They would know that the first step of Henry VIII. when lie began his reformation, and dissolved all the monasteries, the funds of which, by this measure* came into his possession, was to grant them lo lay persons, and that under certain grants from him not only great Tithes, hot small Tithes, Oblations, and Easter Offerings became the property of Lay Impro- priators. Mr. Nesfield had been the incumbent of Chester- le- StFeet for 30 years, and had always claimed and received those Easter Offerings by common right and common usage, of every house iii that township, with the exception of two-, and the cause of that exception he would now explain. The two houses which were exempted wvre the Deanery and the Garden House. The church. there, in former times, was a Collegiate church, and the Deanery was the residence of the Dean of the College. Now it was a maxim in law—" Ecclesia? Ecclesiie decimas non solvit—( The Church does not pay tithes to the Church); and therefore the Dean naturally wouid not pay tithes to himseff; and the garden house being in like manner the residence of the Dean's gardener, it was not expected that he should pay any tithe to his master. Peter might, perhaps, have been induced to suppose tbatthese two solitary exceptions had destroyed the uniformity of the cus*- tom, and that the exempting of these two houses was sufficient to do away the claim upon all the others in Chester- le- Street, If only ojye house in fifty paid, it made no variation in the custom. The sum demand ed on the part of Mr. Nesfield was ten pence now-, if a liberal and affluent individual chose to say. u Your demand is tenpence, there is a pound- note,'" that would not alter the custom ;— that was a present, a gratuity, but it would not alter the practice. If, on the Contrary, the tenperice should be demanded of a poor inhabitant, who was unable to afford so much, or whose poverty precluded him from giving any thing at all, still that did not alter the custom, but left it, as it is, perfect in all its parts : and unless Mr. Watson could show some variation of a more fatal nature, the case for the consideration of the Bench would be contained in very narrow bounds. He should call before them a number of witnesses, to show the uniformity of the customthe first would be the Parish Clerk, who would tell tben>, from the earliest period of his recollection, their ancient usage and custom. He also had other w it- nesses ; and he would produce books also to show, that they had been uniformly collected for a longer period ; but it would, perhaps, only involve the case in greater mystery than it need be. How, then, was this case lo be answered ? For his part, he thought it was unanswerable. He was glad that the appel lant had employed a Counsel, and'did not conduct his own case, as he ( Mr. Cookson) had been led to expect be would, because a Counsel would confine himself to rules and restrictions, which people like Mr. Watson were not acquainted with, and therefore found it difficult, to observe. Mr. Losh, on the part of the defendant, would make a speech ( and he had np doubt it would appear at full length in the news- papers}, showing the impolicy and inexpediency of the custom; or perhaps that Peter Watson was a dissenter ( for his part he knew nothing of the man), $ nd, therefore, like the Quakers, ought to. resist the payment of all tithes to the Established Church, and perhaps at some future time the Legislature might be induced to take the circumstances into their consi- deration, and alter the laws ; but as the case now stood, all his Learned Friend's arguments and inge- nuity would be ineffectual. He then called their attention to an Act, the 7th and 8th of William III. chap, fi, an Act for the more effectual recovery of Small Tithes. If Mr. Watson's witnesses can con- tradict the legality of Easter Offerings, let. us have an end put to them, at least in the township of Chester. le- Street. He ( Mr. Cookson) had known Mr. Nesfield from his earliest youth, and he firmly believed him to he the last man in th$ world to demand that which he did not honestly and conscien- tiously think to be right. The Learned Counsel made a few more unimportant remarks, and sat down, relying upon his case being too strong to be overturned. Mr. WILKINSON then proceeded to call William Pybus, who said he had been Parish Clerk of Chester- lc. Street 30 years. He became a resident in the parish on the 1st of January, 1781. On the Easter Monday in that year he was called upon by Matthias Walker, the agent of the then curate ( the Rev. John Nplson) to pay the Easter Offerings. He demanded the sum of tenpence, and wituess not understanding the meaning of it, re- quested an explanation. He was told sixpence was paid for an offering hen— one penny for smoke or reek money— and three halfpence each for himself and wife, as communicants above the age of 10 years, and which he was informed ,\ vas due from eyery years after ( 179!), he was employed by the Rev. William Nesfield to collect the Easter Dues, and; Walker's son weti't round the parish with him fa- show him ; they called at every house in Chester- le- Street wilh the exception of two,, the Deanery aitl the Garden House, which Walker told him tlu- y never called at. During the wh. de ten vears before he himself began to collect the Easter Dues he regu-. larly paid them. He had frequently had conversa- tions with many old people who* are now dead respecting the payment of dues, and ihey all acknow- ledged the claim. Some had paid without requiring arty explanation, and others who required it were told the same as he himself had been told— the parti-, culars of the demand. Fver since his appointment as collector, he had uniformly received the Dues, with the exception of the two houses already men- tioned, and in a few other instances where the poverty of the parties prevented an application beino- made VV lie re a house is let into tenements, even fiiuiilv pays the same. Witness knows Peter Watsnti, anil either him or bis wife, he Cannot precisely recollect which, paid him tenpence for Easier 0' 8eclu; « in 1818, which was the first time his name was entered in Hie l. ouks. He has liven a resident in Ohester- le- Sireet ever since. In 18K! he refused lo pay them. Mr, I., 0sn rose tn cross- examine this witness, when, in answer to bis first question, Mr. Pybussaid, " I'm very sorry, Sir, but I'm rather dull in hearing." . THE CHAIRMAN— Rut,, Mr. FY> ns, you rails! hear that gentleman as well as the other. Witness proceeded— Never understood that tlie sixpence for the offering- lien was due at Martinmas ; to tlie best, of his knowledge it was due at Easter. If it house was divided, so that every room was occu- pied by a distinct family, or person, every room is liable to the payment of Easter Offerings. Mr, LOSH— Now, Sir, I ask yon, if N I'amilv were living io a hunse without a fire. plaee, would yon demand this reek or smoke penny ? Witness— I never knew a family, live ill a house without a fire- place.—( A laugh ) Mr. LOSH— Now, Sir, you have had your laugh, and the Court tlieir's, J shall hare an answer to uiy question : would you demand the sm: ike penny ? Witness— If I bad found a family living in a house without a fire- place, I should must likely have made mv claim, Mr Losu— What.! Would von charge them with tbe smoke penny, whether they raised it or not'—. ( A laugh.) Witness continued— Does not recollect whether Peter Walton or his wife paid him. Speaks from the entry in bis books, and not from a recollection of the fact. Tbe Learned Counsel here prod need a summons which Mr. Pybus had obtained against a person of the name of Tinn, lor Easter Dues, Sijs. and was proceeding lo examine the witness upon it, when Mr. I*. observed, " John Tinn does not live in Chester. le- Street." Mr. LOSH— Well, Sir, what of that ? Witness- Well, Sir, ] should think, then, tliat paper has nothing to do with this cause.—( A laugh.) Witness proceeded— He had obtained a summons against Tinu for2s. 2d. which included the Clerk's groat, lie was told by Mr. Burrell he could not in- clude it as not being due lo Mr. Nestield, and be bad inserted it to obtain it tor his own benefit. There is only one house called the Deanery, but there has been recently a lodge built, which, being in the precincts of tbe Deanery grounds, lie considered exempt. If houses were built all over tbe Deanery grounds, he did not know whether or not they would be liable to Easter Offerings ; he thought it would puzzle a Counsellor! Does not know how nmnv acres the Deanery grounds may contain, lias not ihe least idea. There are several townships in the parish of Cbester- le- Street, which vary in tbe amount of ihe sum demanded for Easter Offerings. Chestcr- le- Street pays tenpenee ; Ouston only three. pein.- e ;, whilst ihe township of Laiobton pays nothing at all. He- examined by Mr. Wu. ttrNsctN.— Mr. Watson's house is not in the precincts of the garden, 7' lie dues must have been paid in 1- 818, or it could not have been entered in bis hooks. A book was then produced which contained the' names of those who paid tbe Easier Dues in 1818. Thomason Robson, a tidy- looking old woman, nged 85 years, who bad lived about 70 years in Cliester- le- Sireel; George Brown, aged 79 ; Robert Kay, aged 77; nud Itobeii Wardropper, who had all lived in Chester le- Street for almost all their lives, deposed to Easter Dues having been uniformly col. lected in that parish. Mr. LOSH, on the part of the appellant, then proT eeeded to address the Jury. He said he thought his Learned Friend bad dealt rutlier hardly with his client, Mr. Watson, in bis opening address ; for his part he saw no reason why this cause should not be conducted like all other eases ; lie ( Mr. Losh) had known Mr. Nesfield as long as- bis Learned Friend,, and he would not say be would be the last, but lie would be one of the last men in the world to say any thing against his character, but would always he ready with his testimony to bis private worth." Hut what hud been Mr. C.' s conduct towards his ( Mr. L.' s) client? He bad called him a crusader, an itinerant, and a man going about the country de- ceiving ihe people. Now this was unjust, inasmuch as it had nothing to do with the case before tbe Court. It was not a question which depended upon private character, but it was simply upon a point of law, whether Mr. Nesfield, as tbe incumbent curate of Chester- le- Street, had a legal claim to collect Easter Offerings ; and if Mr. Peter Watson thought conscientiously they were not due by htvr, why should lie be prevented opposing what he conceived an un- it's! demand ? or why, in consequence of not beiuo- iu affluent circumstances himself, was be to be pre- vented soliciting the assistance of others, or publish, ing papers and pamphlets on the subject ? These, he ( tbe Learned Counsel) was sorry lo say, lie had never rearl. It was the duty of bis Learned Friend ( Mr. Cookson) to have proved more satisfactorily than lie had done Mr. Nesfield's claim to those Easter Offerings; the only way in which he had attempted to show it was custom. His claim does not appear in any oilier form than by usage. His Learned Friend had stated the practice was uniform, but how had he proved it? In some places, he told them, they were paid to the Reclors, iu others to the Vicars, and in others to the Lily Impropriators. Mr. Nesfield was ihe incumbent of Chester. le- Streel, is parish which contained several townships, and yet it appeared ihe payments varied: how, then, could the custom be uniform, be should like lo know ? In the township of Lanibtou, for instance, Mr. Nesfield did not receive them; and whether Mr. Lambton received them himself, or whether they wore paid at all, it was quite certain that they were not pocketed by Mr. Nesfield. At Ouston, too, only threepence was demanded, and yet they were told that the custom was utiifurm— that it was perfect in all ii » pairs. He had endeavoured to ascertain over what quantity of ground Ihe Deanery grounds extended ; because they had been told that a lodge, which hfid been recently built within iis precincts, was exempt, ed ; and on his asking Mr. Pybus if tbe whole ground was built upon, would all the houses be exempted, he said he thought it would puzzle a Counsellor! Now he ( Mr. Losh) thought it would do no such thing ; for, from tbe law maxim his Learned Friend liad quoted, and which simply meant," The Church pays not lo itself," it w as evident that they would be exempt. Mr. Cookson bad called Mr. Pybus, the parish clerk, w ho produced tin old book, to do what' Why, to show that Easter Offerings were due. Why; who ever denied it? 1 admit that they ar^ due; hut the question is, lo whoip are they due ! and he thought some stronger proof of the legality Mr. Nesfieid's claim should he produced bel'ore tht> Court could allow it. He would call no witnesses, but left Ins case in tbe hands of Ihe Bench, The Bench conferred, aipl it was unanimously decided that tbe Magistrates' conviction be continu- ed. The ltev. Win. Nesfjeld and Mr. Peler Walton were both in Court: the former oil the Iiench ; but'hg retired, as did all the other Clerical Magistrates, be- fore the Court decided on the question.
