FAUNTLEROY.— After hearing the arguments of Counsel,' o! n Tuesday and on Wednesday morning, on the objection taken on his trial hy the prisoner's Counsel; against bis con- viction, the Judges reported tn the Privy Council, on Wednesday at't( ' moon, that the objection was invalid, arffl the result was, that Henry Fnuntleioy was ordered to be executed on Tuesday, the 30th of November. Letters and Papers from the East Indies furnish some sufficiently minute details of the progress of the war with Ihe Burmese. The hostilities are manifestly conducted upon a very narrow scale, and, doubtless, whatever interest this war pos- sesses, it derives from contrast to the general tranquillity of our Indian settlements. Private letters from Lisbon describe Sir YV. A'Court as indefatigably zealous in his exertions to effect an accommodation, upon a basis of mutual independence, between the Brazils and the Mother Country. Hop DUTY.—' The total amount of Hop Duty paid for 1824 was £ 258,838. 5s. 3£ d. The annual consumption of hops for some years past, has been computed at 130,000 ba< » s. A vegetable extract from the bark of the mimosa tree is now imported from New South Wales for the purpose of tanning. To encourage its use, Government permits its importation duty- free. It is in contemplation to make a Railway from the Rennet and Avon Canal, at Alton Bars, Wilts, to Fisher ton, near Salisbury, and from the la iter place to Wilton.— Hampshire Telegraph. MANSION HOUSE.— On Wednesday, an Irish gentleman waited on the Lord Mayor for the pur- pose of putting his Lordship on his guard against tlie devices of the Rev. Mr. Taylor, who the^ olher day applied, ineffectually, for the sanction and patronage of the Chief Magistrate to a society for discussing polemics. The Lord Mayor requested to be informed of the grounds of the charge against Mr. Taylor, and the occasion upon which it was thought necessary to hold out a caution with respect to that gentleman. The Gentleman then proceeded to compliment, his Lordship upon the manner in which he handled the arguments of Mr. Taylor, in favour of a form and system of discussion calculated to throw discredit : upon the Christian leligion, in this most religious country. The refusal to countenance ihe project of so dangerous a speculator was gratifying to all the believers in the doctrines of Christ; aud it must he a source of additional gratification to t he Lord Mayor to know, that he had given that refusal to a man who was tlie most decided enemy of Christianity, and who had enlisted into the ranks of which he had taken the command, the most notations infidels, tlie disciples of Voltaire and Paine, arrd the rest of shoso scoffers who had endeavoured AO destroy the grand fabric, of the Christian ehuf'eh. Mr.- Taylor had, in making his application, carefully disguised his real views; hut his Lordship seemed to he aware that a fair discussion was not likely to lake place in such a society, and that the interests of religion would not be forwarded by the establishment of if. Now, the fact was, thai Mr. Taylor had effectually proved, not only in this country, hot in Ireland, that lie wan ami- Christian. In Dublin he gave vent to the pecu- liar notions he entertained in such a manner, upon one occasion, that the gentlemen of Trinity College would positively have made what the Reverend Gentleman himself called a glorious martyr of him, if the police had not interfered to prevent bloodshed. Upon lhat occasion Mr.- Taylor was obliged to escape through a window- from the vengeance of his in- sulted hearers; but he was not corrected by this menace of summary infliction. Upon the coming over to England, of the Church of which he repre- sented himself a member, he collected about him a mob of infuriated infidels iu a house at linlborn, an I there began to work at his old trade. To shew tiie sincerity of his belief in the principles of the church of which he professed to be the supporter, he made an harangue, in which he applauded the Puha. gorean philosophy, as a real gem in comparison with that which believers considered the model of purity and truth. He also denied that the deluge was universal in its operation, and thus denied the written word of God. Afler several oilier observa- tions upon ihe subject of Mr, Taylor's religious views, the gentleman requested that the Lord Mayor Vvould be cautious in giving credit to a man upon any future occasion, Whose object was decidedly to do an injury to religion. The Lord Mayor, who could not help smiling at the earnest appeal, intimated that the gentleman who had taken such an interest til the cause of Christianity need not be under any apprehensions that Mr. Taylor would impose Upon him ( the Lord Mayor). To whatever extent Mr. Taylor went in his views of religion, he would probably see the propriety of discontinuing the society, which, it was evident, could be but of short duration. BY MR. T.

Tli. se returns are important, as, in conjunction with the returns for Great Britain, previously printed, they present the first authentic and trust- worthy enumeration of the people of the British Empire. The population of the United Kingdom, in 1821, stood as follows : — England 11,261,437 Wales 717,438 Scotland 2,093,456 Army, Navy, Marines, aud Seamen in registered vessels 319,300 TOLLS TO BE LET 1VTOTICE is hereby o- iven, that the 1 ™ TOLLS arising- at the Toll Gales, upon the Turnpike Road leading from Whitehurch to Tern- hilt, in the County of Salop, trailed or known by the Names of Bletchlev Gate, and Bletehley Side Gate, will be LET BY AUCTION, to the best Bidder, at the House of Honor Jones, the While Lion Inn, in Whitchurch, ou Thursday, the 23d Dav of December next, between the Honrs of three and five in the Afternoon, in the Manner directed hy the Act passed in tiie third Year of the Reig- n of His Majesty King- George the Fourth, " For Regulating Turnpike Roads; 1' which Tolls are now Let for the annual Sum of £ 197, above the Expenses of collecting them, and will be put up at that Sum.— Whoever happens to be the best Bidder, must at the same Time pay One Month in Advance ( if required) of the Rent at which such Tolls may he Let, and give Security, with sufficient Sureties to the Satisfaction of the Trustees of the said Turn- pike Road, for Payment of the Rest of the Money Monthly, or otherwise a « the said Trustees shall direct.

In Ireland, as there was no complete enumeration before 1821, ihe exact rate of increase ... cannot be ascertained. It seems from all the approximative calculations to have increased more rapidly; but supposing tlie rate of increase in the whole United Kingdom since 1821^ to be at the rate of per cent, per annum, th<> present population is probably about 22 millions and a quarter. In Ireland the population is much denser than in any other part of the kingdom. The average population per square mile of the four provinces of Ireland was, 1821, as follows : Leinster 403 I Ulster 408 Munster..... 367 [ Connaught, 270 The average of all Ireland per sq. mile. The population of England and Wales was only 210 4- 5ths to the square mile, of Scotland only 86, and of Great Britain altogether less than 17() s It will be observed that. Ulster is the most densely peopled of the Irish provinces. Its populousness is the more remarkable from the small number of large towns. Belfast, which has 27,277 inhabitants, is the only place which has above 20,000 in a province of near two millions. In the county of Moiiaglum, where ihe population is 624 per square mile, theie is nothing deserving the name of a town ; andTn Armagh, where it is 697 per square mile, the town, which is dignified with the name of a city, bears an insignificant relation to the numbers of people in the county.

By accounts from Montreal to the 18th nit. we learn that fourteen people belonging to the Hun son's Day Company " had been destroyed by the .

Several of our contemporaries have alluded to an alleged m. sittiderslaiuiing between Sir Edward Paget, the, Commander- in- Chief iu India, and Lord Amherst, the Gove. inur. Genetal. We are autho- rised tt) state, that there is not the slightest founda- tion for this report. St is true Sir Edward Paget has applied'for leave to return to England,- but that application vt-^ s totally unconnected with any cir- coinstance or event arising out of the Burmese war. The sole cause was, the desire of Sir Edward to return, for tlie purpose of tilling the office of Governor of the Royal Military College; an ap- pointment which has been held for him, since the beginning of the present year, by Sir Alexander Hope, As soon, therefore, as his successor has been namul, Sir Edward Paget will leave India.— Com ier. The books at Lloyd's exhibit a most melancholy detail of the loss of life and property • » > the dread fill hurricanes which have prevailed for the last week, Al Portsmouth, at Plymouth, at Falmouth,, and in fact along the whole line of coast, the da- mage, doiie; has been dreadful. Many outward, bun ml ships, with full and valuable cargoes, have been totally lost.

DISTRESSING CATASTROPHE.— An extract o a private letter from Dorchester, dated Nov. 23, says — Last night this town was visited with a tie mentions gale from the S. W. which for several hours continued to increase, till the most, violent hurricane prevailed ever remembered by the oldest inhabitant. We wish we could confine ourselves to an account of apprehension and mere loss of pro- perty : hnt it is our painful duty to record a most heart- rending' calamity, and which has awakened the strongest fecling- sof sympathy and distres: the minds and hearts of all. About six o'clock this morning, a heavy stack of chimneys on the house a the Rev. H. J. Richmau was blown down with a tremendous crash, and falling on the bed of the Rev. Gen ti eman, crushed him and his amiable wife beneath the ruins. Instant alarm was given, and medical attendance promptly obtained, but it was too late ; one common and instantaneous destruction involved them both.-- Mr. Richmari was rector of the Holy Trinity in this town, and had but a few weeks enjoyed the possession of the new church recently erected in that parish. Me was a man of singular learning and piety, and remarkable for great sim- plicity of manner and singleness of life, and, dur- ing- a residence of mare than thirty years, had secured to himself the regard and confidence of all • who knew him. In the 71st year of his age, an awful calamity awaited him, which has over- whelmed his family and friends with affliction and distress. SAVINGS BANKS.— A circular has been issued by the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, which clears up the ambiguity attaching to the 26th section of the 5th Geo. 4, cap. 62, as to the penalties Upon persons holding deposits in more than one. Savings Bank. " The Commissioners are of opinion^ ( under the advice of the Law Officers,) - that Persons having made deposits in more than one Savings Bank, before Ihe * 20th of November, 182- 1* and continuing pos- sessed of sttch Funds therein after thai time, are not liable to forfeiture under the above section.""— But it must be remembered that both old and new Depositors, upon making the first deposit after the 20th of November, 1824, are to sign the'De- claration required by the 25th section; and if such Declaration shall not be true, the parties will, in that ease, subject themselves to the penalties therein mentioned. In the Court of King's Bench, on Monday, Mr. Scarlett obtained a rule to show cause why a ciiminal information should not be filed against the proprietors of the Sunday Times Newspaper, for a libel upon the Marquis of Hastings, published in that paper upon the 25th of January. The alleged libel alFtcted the conduct of the Noble Marquis as Governor Geueial of India, imputing to him peculations to a serious extent. ON Thursday morning, Joseph Harwood, con- fided at the September Sessions of a highway robbery at Houiislow, with circumstances of cruelly, was executed at ihe Old Bailey.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY. TUB MARQUIS OF HASTINGS V. TUB SUNDAY TIMES. Mr. Deninan this day shewed cause against the rule obtained by Mr. Scarlett at the beginning of the'term1, why a criminal information should not lie filed against Mr. D W. Harvey, proprietor of the Sunday Titties, for a gross lib- el upon the Marqui of Hasting*; and stated that some days after the libel had appeared, an apology bad been inserter in the Sunday Times, which, it was hoped, would have been satisfactory to the Noble Marquis, was on this ground that he moved the discharge o the rule which had been obtained. — Mr. Scarlett admitted that such an apology had appeared, aud be left it to the Court to determine whether such an apology w. ould be so satisfactory to his Lordship's iniad as to justify the discharge of the rule.— The Court consulted for a few minutes, and ordered ihe rule to !>>• discharged, upon the payment of all the CosU by Mr. llarvey.

Mr. Harrington, who was driving, bail one leg and one thigh broke, besides being so. much bruised that there are no hopes of recovery. The night was dark, and it was several ours before the accideut was known. Mr. Frod- ing was a device painter nn china, residing in Goswell- street, and he. has left a young family, now rphaus.

Shadweil moved for a special inj Minn to restrain Ihe noble defendant and his agent from pro ceeding to sell the furniture and effects in the Royal Hotel, Chester.— it appeared that Mr. Willoughby entered into an agreement in November, 1819, with Mr. Crosley, Earl Grosveoor's agent, to take Ihe slock in the Hotel at a valuation, and to receive from Fail Grosveno. r a valuation at. leaving the Hotel in like manner— that upon coming into the Hotel he ave his bond for securing lite payment for the slock ill two instalments— ilint Mr. Croslev represented tlie usiness as a bighlv profitable concern, and upon Croslej calling on Witlooghby al his house at High- ly, ' previous I" Willoughby's going down to Chester til look at the Hotel, Crosley stated that the profits of the Hotel at Chester would enable Wil- lau^ hby to pay the amount of ihe valuation iu five or six years, mid that Willnnghhy would not have oc- casion. to disturb his London propeitv for that pur pose - it appeared in the year 1821, Willoughby find- ing that he had been deceived by Crosley, and that nslead of the business at ihe Hotel being profitable as had been stated , by Crosley, it was a losing eon- , made known this discovery to Crosley, who, iler to induce Willonghhy to ' make further trial of the business, reduced the rent to £ 400 from £ 180. Willmighbv proceeded with every possible attention, and that of Ms family, in conducting the Hotel, till It> 23, " hen finding ii still unprofitable, and that it would be ruinous to continue, again and more' strong- ly represented to Crosley that unless some effectual relief was made, he would leave the Hotel.— Crosley then requested to see Willoughby's books and ac- counts al Ihe Hotel, which Willoti'glihy assented to; and the accounts and books were then submitted to Mr. Finchell, Mr. T. Whittell, and Crosley; four davs o ere occupied in examining the said accounts ; the result of which was, that Earl Grosvenor dill re- duce Ihe rent to £' 20( 1, the reduction to begin from Christinas. 1821. Willoughby paid Crosley the rent for the year 1822, £' 200, a few days after this abate- ment was agreed upon, and also the year's rent for 18- 23, a shoil lime after Christmas, 1823— and in August last paid Croslev £ 100 for the half- year's rent due at Midsummer, 1824. Crosley in 1821 required security upon Willoughby's London property; a mortgage was given bv Willoughby on freehold pro- perty of ihe value of £ 3000, and as further security, a warrant of attorney for securing ihe. balance then due, £ 43- 20— with a full undent ling that llie said warrant of'nttoriiey should not lie pill in force against Willaugl. by. On the 8th of ibis month, Crosley for the first time, and without any previous notice, de- manded full payment of the sum due to Karl Gros. venor, and insisted nil notice of sale being advertized in tin- Chester Chronicle on the following Friday. As such sudden sale would be ruinous to the property of Willoughby, this application was made to restrain ti e parlies from proceeding to the sale, and that Wiltoughbv was ready and willing lo pay Earl Gros- venor in full, by a valuation ol the stock in the Hotel being taken for lliat purpose. Willoughby further slates, thai he verily believes Crosley intended lo deceive him with regard to the real profit of Ihe II. in I, and that from a foil view of the transaction on the part of Croslev, Wiltonghby is convinced that Croslev has wilfullv and fraudulently deceived him. The' 1,01( 1 Cliancel'or ordered an injunction lo issue, to restrain the sale, and the amount lo be paid into Court. — fflniiv^ yH^.

[ FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.] A Supplement to the London Gazette of Satin* d/ iy was published at a late hour this evening, an- nouncing that dispatches have been received at the East India House, from the Governor General in Council, at Fort William, various portions of which are given ; and their substance will be found o be comprised in the following extracts. Extract from a Letter from the Governor- General in Council to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directorsy dated Fort William, 25ih of MAY, 18- 24. We regret to report that the Chittagong- district has been invaded by the Burmese in very largfe force, and that the enemy has been successful in cutting' off [ 011 the 16th May] a detachment at Rairioo, consisting* of the right wing of the 23d native infantry, under the command of Captain Noton, and three companies of the 20th, com- manded by Captain Truema'n, with two gums and a detail of artillery under Lieutenant Scott ; also 5 party of provincials and the Mug* levy, com nianded by Captain Pringlc. We think it right to add, that the eight companies of regulars above- mentioned were greatly reduced, both in uumbers and efficiency, by the fatal effects of the climate of the southern parts of the district, and were alfvady under orders to retire to the canton- ment. at Chittagong*. It is not in oar pdvi'er to report tbe further pro ress of operations in Assam, Brigadier M'Morine having* deemed it necessary to halt at Gowahati, the capital of Western Assam, since his arrival there on the 28th of March. By the last accounts he had dispatched a small party of his force in advance to Kallinbar. Mr. Scott bad succeeded in pene- trating across the hills of Jyntia, from Sylhct, into Assam, with a detachment of the 23d native in fantry^ and reached the Berhampooter at Nore- gong, about seven days march east of Gowahati on the 28tl) ultimo. Tbe peace at Cachar has not been disturbed since the date of our last dispatch, but we have reason to believe that the Burmese have again entered Munnipore in force. By the last accounts Rajah Guinbhor Sing was about to embark in the enterprise for recovering that principality from tbe Government of Ava, with such force as he could raise, supported by arms aud money from the British authorities. Extract froni a Letter from the Governor- General in Council to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors, dated Fort William, Id Junet 1824 - We avail ourselves of the immediate departure of a ship for England, to transmit to your Honourable Committee copies of dispatches received this day from Brigadier- General Sir Archibald Campbell announcing the capture of tlang- oon* on the 11th ultimo, and beg* leave to offer to your Honourable Committee our congratulations on this highly interesting and important event. We are happy to inform your Honourable Com inittee that, by the latest accounts from Chittagong it appears that, the Burmese troops had not venturei to advance from the intrenchments thrown up by them at Ramoo, after the defeat of our detachmen at that pi nee j that the temporary alarm occasioned by that disaster wns rapidly subsiding, and that the reinforcements- approaching Chittagong* would speedily place the troops at that station in a co'nd' tipn to undertake offensive operations against th enemy, should the season still admit of our advance to the southward. More than one half of the sepoy: of the Unmoo detachment, reported to have bee cutoff in the action of the 16th, had returned to Chittagong unhurt, but we regret to say, that of the six ( Jrficers stated to have been killed no hop< remains that any of them survive. [ The six officers killed are— Captain Norton Lieutenant Grigg, and Ensign Bennett., 1st Batt 23d Reg. N. I.'; Captain Truemau, 2d Batt. 20th Reg. N. I.; Doctor Mays more, artillery; Captain Pringle, Mug* l » > vy.] * The detailed report of this affair was published in the supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday, the 23d November.--^'^ ' del Page. The E- xecution of Henry Fadntleroy, which1 takes place to- morrow, has excited the greatest interest.- The windows, &. c. commanding the best view of the place of execution are letting out at hig priees! up as rogues and vagabonds, and punished accordingly, God save the King; and the Lord of the Court." The procession then moved on to St. John's Church. On entering the chancel, the Musicians, by notice from the steward, played several pieces of sacred music upon their knees / after which Divine Service was performed, and the heir or lord of Dutton especially pray el for. The following Pro- clamation was made after service : — " God save the King, the Queen, the Prince, and all the Royal Family, and the Honourable Charles Gerard Fleet-. Wood, Esquire ( heir descendant of the ancient worthy family of the Buttons, of Dutton, in Cheshire, and of the Right Honourable family of the Gerards, of Gerard's Bromley, in the county of Stafford); long may he live and support the honour of the Minstrels' Court!" The procession then returned to the inn, in the same order that it came, and entertainments were g'iven to the lord of Dutton's friends and to the musicians. In the afternoon a Jury was impanelled from among the licensed minstrels, to whom the Steward delivered a charge, and directed them to inquire of any treason against the King or the Earl of Chester; likewise whether any man of their profession had exercised his instrument without license from the lord of the Court, and what misde- meanors they had been guilty of; and whether they had heard any language among their fellows, tending* to the dishonour of their lord and patron, the. heir of Dutton. A verdict, according to circumstances, was then guven by the Jury ; the oath was administered to the musicians ; and licenses granted to all who were adjudged worthy, empowering them to play for one year. The last Court was held in 1756, R. Lant, Esq. being- then lord of Dutton, and possessing the advowry of the minstrels, by purchase; previous to which the Courts were not held annually as had . been the custom, but every two or three years. The fee for a license was 2s. 6d. ; but it does not appear that much attention was paid to the mandates of the lord of Dutton ; for in 1754 only twenty- one licenses were granted. In the charge of the steward of Mr. Lant, in the before- mentioned year, he observes- " Gentlemen of the Jury, the oath, which you have just now taken, seems to make it proper to say something by way of charge; otherwise your own knowledge and expe- rience would have rendered it quite unnecessary; but as the duty of the office of steward of this honourable Court, and your oath, require that a charge should be given to you, I shall beg* leave to take up a little of your time, and say something to you concerning this honourable Court— the duty and privileges of musicians in this city and H.& G. have on Hand, and will be continually receiving a regular Supply of, the newest Designs in the different Articles got up at the Institution, which they are enabled to offer at very reasonable Prices.

For several years past the Roman Catholics of Ireland have been unremitting' in their endeavours to obtain what they call Emancipation ; but of late they have become more unanimous, their plans better arranged, and they appear to be encouraged For Writing and Arithmetic.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. Sirs, Died, on Tuesday, llie 23d November, 18- 24, at Tattenhall, in the county of Chester, Mr. SAMUEL DIITTON, aged 03 years and 10 months. He re- tained all his senses perfect lothe last : his bearing was uncommonly quick. He was the last male, in a direct line, of the ancient family of the " Fiddler" Dulton, so much famed in tbe History of Chester. His Father concealed that invaluable piece of music ( a fiddle, kept as a memorial of the family ighl) under tlie heailli- stoue, in the maltkiln at Broxton Lower Hall, in tbe said county, during the Rebellion. do their suit and service at this Court, and no musician l;', e expectation ot a speedy restoration to ali the shall play upon any instrument for gain, without having a j civil rights of the Empire, or to that equality that license from the lord of Dutton, or his steward of this would ultimately endanger tbe peace of the United Court And if any person does presume to play for gain j Kino- dom without such license, he is not only liable to be prosecuted ' - - by a due course of law, but also to be prosecuted as a rogue, vagrant, and vagabond. These privileges have been | - — —. confirmed and allowed by several Acts of Parliament;+ alarming attempts,— lest a triumph may be per- andMr. Lant is determined that the power and authority mitted as a curse upon them for not " coming to of this Court shall be preserved, and that none shall exer- the help oft. be Lord against the miodity."

Hatton Hall, near Chester, the resilience of Sir Piers Dutton, of Dutton, to whom these singular rights and privileges were confirmed, was a qua- drangular moated mansion. It became the property Scriptural Church. The late. Bulls of the Pope forbidding tlie distribution of the Holy Scriptures, is an awful indication of the present corrupt state of the Roman Catholic Church, and an alarming prelude to what may be expected, in time to conic, from their influence iu the deliberations of our legislative assemblies, should they acquire what they now so strenuously and boldly apply for. The Romish Church, when divested" of power, may assume appearances of Charity and Moderation' of the Marquis of CHQIuiotitlelev, and was pulled I 1,111 l', ese appearances deserve no regard. Should down ill I she ever possess power again in Ireland, her mode- R.

Potion of what she is pleased to call Heresy. She c. 25.— 17 Geo. I. c. 5. | has not undergone such a change as to afford a just ground of hope, that she would not again employ The singular custom of licensing Minstrels, exercised by the ancestors of Mr. Samuel Dutton, s altogether peculiar to the county of Chester. The memorial of it may not be uninteresting' to many of the readers of the Salopian Journal ; and its origin is thus traced:— About 12- 34, Randle Blundeville, Earl of Chester, made an inroad into Wales, but being- sorely pressed by the Welsh, he was forced to seek shelter in Rhyddlan Castle. Here he was closely besieged, and reduced to great extremities; but he contrived to communicate to Roger Lacy, constable of Chester, bis situation. It happened to be the fair at Chester, and Roger, aided by his steward ( who, as some accounts say, was also his son- in- law), Hugh de Dutton, muster- ed together all the fiddlers, players, cobblers, " and other debauched persons," with which he marched towards Hhyddlati. The enemy, perceiving' the advance of such a multitude, immediately raised •> the siege an< l fled, arid thus was the Earl relieved. In reward for this singular ruse de guerrey the Eari gave Roger authority over all " Leccatorum et meretricum totius Cestershirce," & c. Lacey kept the authority over. the cobblers, j& c.- but conferred on Hugh de Dutton ihe supremacy over the fiddlers, players, and prostitutes. In the 14th Henry VII. it was pleaded in quo warranto, by Laurence Dut ton, Esq. that at the feast of St. John the Baptist, the minstrels, generally, gave him four bottles of wine, and a lance ; and each minstrel 4^ d. for a license ; and that every prostitute exercising* her profession ( officium suum exercente) paid 4d.; and that, he enjoyed these rights by prescription : so that the fiddlers, minstrels, & c. of Cheshire, li- censed by the descendants or heirs of Dutton, are exempted front the penalties of the statute 39th Eliz. against rogues and vagabonds. The right was confirmed. to Sir Piers. Dutton,* of Dutton, and of Hatton Hall, and was exercised by the Duttons and their representatives, the Gerards and Fleetwoods, as long as they continued in pos- session of the Dutton estate ; and though not originally attached to the estate, but. vested in the heirs of Dutton, it appears, nevertheless, to have been alienated with it. The Minstrels1 Courts were, to the middleubf the lastrcentury, held annually at Chester, oiV. Sf, John the Baptist's day, by the heir or lord of Button, or his steward. In the time of C. G. Fleetwood, Esq. a banner emblazoned with the Duttoii arms was hung out of the window of the inri where the Court was held, and a drummer proclaimed in the streets the important sitting-, summoning all persons concerned to appear in tile Court. At eleven o'clock, a Procession was formed, and moved from the Inn as follows : A Band of Music. Two Trumpets. Licensed Musicians, with white napkins across their shoulders. • The Banner, borne by one of the principal Musicians. The Steward on horseback, with a white wand in his hand, A Tabarder, his tabard emblazoned with the arms of Dutton, The Lord or Heir of Dutton ( if present), Attended by the Gentry of the County and City on horseback. IH the middle of T. astgate- street, this Proclama- tion was made " Oyez, oyez, oyez! This is to give notice; td all mu- sicians and minstrels, that the Court of the Honourable Charles Gerard Fleetwood, Esqitire ( descendant heir of Eleanor, sole daughter and heiress of Thomas Dutton, of Visiting Clergyman this week at the Infirmary, the Rev.

La! ngley, Curate of St. Chad's, in this town, for the benefit of the School established there upon Dr. Bell1 System; after which a collection was made, which amounted to the sum of £ 26. 7s. The extraordinary depression of the Barometer, on the ' 23d ult. noticed in our last Journal, has, w< perceive, by the various Provincial Papers, caused much remark in different parts of the kingdom. Committed to our County Gaol, Samuel Bret- tell and William Brookes, charged with stealing a quantity of wine, the property of Richard Brettell, of Hales Ovven ; Evan Wilcox and James Jones, charged with stealing a quantity of coal, of the value of three shillings, the property of Mr Hazlcdiue. HAWKERS.— On Monday last, Abraham Danes, travelling hawker or pedlar, was convicted before our late Mayor, Jonathan Perry, Esq. in the penalty often pounds, for travelling from town to town on foot, and carrying goods to sell as a hawker, pedlar, and petty chapman, and exposing the same to sale, without a license.

I conceive any interference to controul this right, by human power, would be subversive of the liberty, and an outrage on the consciences, of mankind ; but of this the Catholics have nothing to complain : they want that power, which ( in consequence of their pernicious tenets) cannot be granted, without endangering the peace and happiness of our Protestant Church aud State. We cannot cherish the memory of our revered forefathers, the victims of Papal persecution, and look with apathy upon the late proceedings in Ire land. Let the Friends of Religion only unite in a prompt application to Parliament for the continu- ance of existing- Laws affecting Roman Catholics, and I will venture to predict that their triumph will be very far distant.

( fj3 The Tenants will shew the Premises ; and further Particulars may be had by applying- to Mr. HUMBERSTON, Friars, Chester. proceeding was observed wilh the utmost anxiety. The ardent, though not very honourable or success- ful exertions of tiie Roman Catholics, employed at Longhrea, Cork, Cloninell, Kilkenny, Castlehar, and Carrick- on- SI-. aniion, to check the circulation the Holy Scriptures, gave a promise that no opportunity of interrupting the progress of the Bible Society would be neglected ; while the scene of the Cjarlow Meeting, within the a,- sinned diocese of Doctor Doyle, ihe theological champion of the Roman Catholic cause, nail in the immediate neigh- bourhood of a Roman Catholic College, naturally led to ihe expectation, that this concluding- display of controveisial skill would be graced with what- ever of talent and learning the Roman Catholic Church ill Ireland can boast. TI. controversy. occupied two days in the week preceding the last; when the objects of the Bible Societies were opposed by four Roman Catholic Priests, namely, Messrs No-. vlan, Swinney, O'Con- nell, and dowry : Dr. Doyle did not appear at ihe meeting.— The Rev. Messrs. Daly, Wing- field, and Pope supported the objects of the Bible Societies. Mr. Now Ian, the first speaker on the part of the Societies' opponents, treated the subject matter in a way w hich would intimate, that the party which he represented look to other means of deciding the dispute, than the triumph of argument. We shall give the words of this Gentleman as we find them iu the Irish Papers. After a preliminary flourish upon a motion for the exclusion of three peace- officeis that happened to be present as auditors, the Rev. Mr. Nowlan, a Roman Catholic priest, thus explained the views and purposes of his brethren : Sir, — I and my reverend brethren attend this meeting as Roman Catholic Clergy, and not as auditors. We do not simply wish lo enter the lists of controversy : we have a further and greater object— we come here this day for tbe purpose of opposing the proceedings of this assembly. * •* " What right have these Societies, I say ? but I'll say no more now— may he I'll touch upon it another time. The Priests have a right to oppose these Societies. Their proceedings are interested. They pretend they come lo disseminate instruction, and they diffuse that w hich is contrary to instruc- tion— mutilated and adulterated copies of the word of God * * * * " If the objects sought were not public— if they did not interest both us and our flocks, we would take no notice of their Societies , but the avowed object is to interfere with the Catholic clergy, and to interfere w ith the Catholic people. The" mode adopted is itself subversive of faith, and MUST NOT BE TOLERATED." Referring to ihe passages above quoted from Mr. Nowlan's speech, the Editor of the London Packet says— _ " This Is speaking out; but before we go farther, let us pause to reiieci upon the nature of this alleged nuisance, to which Mr. Nowlan and his brethren declare, that the toleration allowed in this country, even to the Jew's synagogue, as well as to every denomination of Christian worship, shall not be extended. " The objection that has been offered ( as far as the opposition of lite Catholic Clergy has been expressed in words, for the shouts and manual menaces of the rabble have constituted much the greater part of their argument) is conveyed ia the word 4 proselvtism.' " Now proselvtism is in principle good or bad, as it is a conversion from error to truth, or a per- version from truth to error. The divine founder of our Religion, as all Christians believe, Luther, Melancthon, and lite - other Reformers, as all Protestants believe, proselyted in the first sense. To evade the alternative of injustice on the one side, or wanton offence on the other, we shall not say who have proselyted in the second, and un- favourable, understanding' of the term. Whatever our timid and pretending- politicians may say to the contrary, proselyting- to truth is, in principl duty of the most sacred obligation— a duty as far above any of the mere civil obligations of society, as the Being- by whom it was enjoined by precept and by example, is above an earihly Sovereign. The Church of Rome glories in the zeal with which she labours to proselyte; she makes no secret of her college 4 de propaganda fideor of its dhe. ct superintendeuce of the interests of the Roman Catholics; her soils do not hesitate to de- clare with Doctor Dromg- oole, that 4 not to seek directly, or indirectly, the subversion of the. Pro testant Church would be to abuse the Divine com mand—* " go ye, and teach all nations;" 1 nor would any of them scruple to propose, with IV' O'Connel, that such persons as Doctor Doyle, and somebody else ( of a liitie more obscurity, whose name we have forgotten) should be sent'to teach the people of England. . They boast of their multi plying Jesuit establishments in this strong hold of heresy, and exult in the, swarms of seminary priests, which these establishments are hourly" sending forth. Now, we make no objection to all this, pro- vided that, an eoual latitndp oK tnlf'i'fjtinn aUmvp; l vided that an equal latitude of toleration be allowed to the Established Church, 4 Damns petimvsque rtcissimLet the Roman Catholics employ all the means short of force of which they can avail them- selves, to pervert the Protestants of this realm to the errors of the Church of Rome; and let the Protestants have equal liberty to reclaim the CM tholics from these unhappy errors, and we shall have no fears for the result. 44 If Protestants have not the right to reason peaceably with their Roman Catholic brethren upon the highest and most interesting of ail sub- jects; if they have not. the right to lay before them the sacred arguments by which th'einselves have been converted to, or assured in their religious faith, th en are the priests justifiable in 4 opposing the Bible vSocieties,' and proscribing them as 4 not to be tolerated and it is only to be lamented that they have nut some more safe and orderly mode of enforcing their 4 opposition1 and ' non- toleration* than the robust exercise of physical force -. — but if on the other hand, the people of this country have an undoubted right, and are bound by a " sacred duty, to try to reclaim their fellow men, whether fellow subjects or strangers, from what we must think the darkness of superstition, upon what ground can tlie Roman Catholic priest presume to control that right by a violation of the law ?" SHREWSBURY. At the Mermaid Inn, in Shrewsbury, on Wednes- day, the;> 2d of December, 1824, at five o^ lock in the Afternoon, unless sooner disposed of by Private Contract, of which due Notice will be i> iven : . i LARGE DWELLING HOUSE, L JL situate at the Top of ST. MARY'S WATER- LANK, in SHREWSBURY, lately occupied by Mr. Edward Barnes: consisting of six pleasant Bed Rooms, one Sitting Room, two Parlours, large Kitchen, Pantry, Brew house, and extensive Cellar- ing-, which is well adapted for letting separate from the Mouse, for a Warehouse, & c. ; with a good' three- stall Stable attached. Tiie above Premises have lately undergone a thorough Repair. Also, a new- built DWELLING HOUSE adjoin- ing, occupied by Miss Williams. For further Particulars apply to Mr, WACE, Casile Street, Shrewsbury. The Dublin Evening Mail gives the following account of the occurrences at the conclusion of the Meeting at Carlow on Fiitlay, the second day of the discussion :— 44 A rush was made over the partitions by which the pews were divided ; the barriers were forced, : which excluded the Meeting from the speakers and members oMJie Committee— and the whole fury of the; body a, pp$ ared to be directed towards the plat form erected' on the right of the chair for the Protestant Clergymen who took a part iu the dis- cussion. The lights were nearly all extinguished, and the appearance presented at this moment was terrific.— By a special intervention of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, the lives of the Protestant Clergy were preserved. Captain Battersby, command- ing the police at Carlow, readied the platform by a private door communicating' with the vestry room, a few seconds before the mob had attained, it, for the purpose of communicating to Mr. Daly and Mr. Pope ( not at ail aware of what was g- oing on within doors) that he would not be answerable for the safety of their lives if they ventured into the street. Perceiving the state of fury displayed by those within, this gentleman promptly prevailed oil the Clergymen not to lose a moment in effecting their escape, which he fortunately afforded them the means of accomplishing, by assisting- them over a wall eight feet high into an adjoining garden, in the house belonging to which they were concealed, until the departure of the Priests drew the greater portion of the mob from the scene of action. When the rioters reached the platform, arid found that their intended victims had escaped, no description can give an adequate idea of their ( ari" ; k We gay^ jn our last a summary of the proceed ings at tta*/ Bible Meeting at Carlow. We stated that the discussion, had been adjourned at a late hour on Thursday evening till the following- day. On the se'cpnd day the discussion was recommenced hv the Rev. Mr. Pope, a Protestant Clergyman, who, in a speech of considerable length, most pow- erfully advocated the dissemination of the* l! oly Scriptures. He was replied to by the Rev. Mr Nowlanj a Roman Catholic Priest. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Shaw attempted to address the Meeting, when a violent scene of tumult was commenced by the populace. This continued for about an hour, during- which time the most revolting- and seditious language was resorted to by the Priests, for the purpose of i tatino- and inflaming the populace. Nor was this all, Mr. Finn rose, and attacked the Reverend Mr. Wingfieid with personal invective, and in the The Catholics of the Midland District, which comprises the counties of Stafford, Warwick, Worcester, and Salop, having learned that the designation which they had assumed, as forming a Branch of the General British Catholic Association, was illegal, have formed themselves into a distinct society, to be called the Midland Catholic Associa- tion, of which Edward Blount, Esq. ol' Bi- llamore, in this county, is chosen chairman.— Wolver- hampton Chronicle. The Church of Rome. It appears from the Report of a Committee of the House of Commons ( Henry Brougham, Esq. in ihe Chair), 15th of June, 1816, that, amongst other persons, one of the most eminent Roman Catholic Priests, the Rev. James Yorke Bramston, was called in and examined. Amongst the questions proposed to him, and his. answers, were the follow- ing :— Q—" Are you acquainted with the BULI. UXI- GEKITUS ? A.—" 1 am. Q.—" Is it allowed to be IN FORCE in the CA- THOMC CHURCH ? A — u Ko DOUBT it is ? Now, in this same Hull Unigenitus, which Was issued early in the last century in condemnation of certain moral and religions works " of the celebrated Father Qiiesnel, the Pope, with the advice of his Cardinals, & c. & c. selected one hundred and one propositions from those works, which he condemned collectively, and separately, or singly. Poor Fa- ther Quesuel was obliged'to flv for safety from France. He fled lo the Netherlands, but there he was taken, iand imprisoned at Brussels. He after- wards escaped to Holland, where lie died. Amongst the one hundred and one propositions selected and condemned separately and singly, are : " 80th. The rending of Ihe Holy Scriptures is for all persons. 81st. The sacred obscurity of the Word of God is not a reason for lay- persons to excuse themselves from reading it. " 82d. The Lord's Day ought to be sanctified by Christians in reading of piety, and, above all, of Ihe Holy Scriptures. It is very injurious to with- draw a Christian from this reading." Having condemned the above and other similar propositions, this Bull Unigenitus, n\ iw. in full force in the Roman Catholic Chiiich, proceeds to pro- nounce them HERETICAL, and. couimands . that no person shall presume to think, teach, or preach according to them, on pain of being subject to the censures of the Church, the Inquisitors, punishment by the secular arm, and the " indignation of the Almighty God, and of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul." This Bull Unigenitns is certainly a document which, according to the principles of the Popish Church, " all faithful Christians" are now bound to obey. And if any Protestant Clergyman shall have the least doubt of this, and hesitate to give full credit to the assurance we have received from the Rev. Romish Priest, Mr. Bramslo'n, he may fully satisfy himself on the subject, by referring lo pages 159- 161, inclusive, of ihe Divinity Class Look of the Popish College of Maynooth.

CAUTION TO HUSBANDS DESERTING THEIR FAMILIES— At the late Manchester Sessions, two men, found guilty of this serious and most unmanly offence, were sentenced* lo six months' imprison, ment, to hard labour; ami they were told by ( be Court, that if they again offended in a similar w- ay ( Ihe present offence being the second) they would, iu pursuance of the law, on a third conviction, re- ceive sentence of transportation. At Ihe New Bailey Court house, Manchester, last week Thomas Garth, the driver of the Commercial Union Coach, and Thomas Wren, the driver of Ihe Telegraph, both from Coln. e to Manchester, were each fined £ 10, for furiously driving their coaches Cbeetham on the 161 h till.— One of the Pro. pi- ictors of the. Commercial Union attended; and after Ihe conviction, said he was very glad that the men hail been fined. Such driving was directly contrary to the directions uniformly given by lliem to their coachmen, and they provided them with good cattle to prevent the necessity of it. The Bank of Messrs. Oldaker, Tomes, and Chattaway, at Stratford- upon- Avon, was broken open on the night of Monday last, and robbed of a large number of their local notes, of £ 1, £ 5, and £ 10, besides a considerable amount in sovereigns, Bank of England notes, and notes of other banks. They have published handbills, cautioning the public against taking any of their notes for the present, and have offered a reward of £ 500 for the apprehension and conviction of the thieves. On Tuesday, as seven persons were crossing the Wye with their asses, at the Washings, near the Wear, the barge upset, and four persons were drowned. One of them named Edward Ballingham has left a large family. One person, a female, had Ihe good fortune, after sinking twice, to catch hold of Ihe boat, and was saved. Another saved himself by laying hold of one of the donkeys. Two of the animals were drowned. In the Edinburgh Courant of Saturday last, there are no fewer than six advertisements from Bankers, all slating that, from and after ihe 31st of December, the rate of interest will be reduced to I^' DIA.— Dispatches have been received from I ndia, describing further military operations against the Burmese. 1 hey relate to a stockade contest at Kemmendine," by. the troops under Sir Archibald Campbell, and to tlie capture of the island of Cheduba, by Brigadier MH> eagh, v who attacked 600 of the Burmese . entrenched' in it, with a force of 300 men. Nearly half the en'eiiVy were destroy- ed; and in both cases the British'troops behaved. with their accustomed gallantry. TlVe destructive' fire of our artillery spread terror throughout the • anks of the enemy, and has compelled them, in many instances, to abandon their stockades.— Great efforts were making on our part, when the dispatches left, to prosecute the war with vigour, and on an extended scale.—- T he following Officers were wounded in the attack oh the stockade at Kemmendine : — Major Chambers, 4] st foot, se- verely, not dangerously ; Captain Kyd, lieutenants Stenton and ttofcertson, severely, not dangerously ; Lieutenant Petry, 13th light'infantrv, sirghtly ; Lieutenant Henry Grimes, 38th foot, slightly.

A dispatch from Major Newton follows, containing the details of an action on the l? tl> of January with four thousand Burmese and Assamese, who had stock- aded themselves at Bickranipore : the enemy was defeated with the loss of 185 men. Our loss was six sepoys killed, and thirteen wounded.— The Bur- mese were afterwards defeated at Budderpore, Juttrapore, and Doodpatlee. In the last affair^ however, Lieut. A. B. Armstrong, of the 1st bat- tallion 10th Regiment of Native Infantry, was shot at the head of the grenadiers, among the stakes and spring-. guns which were planted all round the. enemy's stockades outside for a distance of from twenty to thirty yards, concealed for the most part in long' grass.

On Monday, at Doncaster fair, a fraud was practised on a farmer, by two sharpers, who had observed him receiving money for stock he had sold,, which was paid him in notes, to the amount of £ 80.

The keeper of the turnpike gate at Edgbaston, near Birmingham, was convicted on Tuesday week, of having demanded and taken payment from a person twice in one day, and fined in the penalty of twenty pounds, It is stated in the Scotch Papers, that the loss of property sustained in the late ( ires in Edinburgh may be estimated at from £ 150,000, to £ 170,000, HELL'S LIFE IN LONDON of Saturday, No- vember 27, contains the best Account of the Fight at Warwick between Hudson and Cannon, it will be kept on sale at the Office in the Strand, London for three days after the ' 27th.

MORALITY OF THE SCOTCH.— As to the su- perior morality of our Northern neighbours, there has all along been a great deal of exaggeration. England, never touchy about its national character, and always hearing censure with ( he ^ rea'est good humour, has suffered the remark, that the Scots are a more virtuous people than themselves to pass ' so long unchallenged, that it is now received every where as a demonstrated truth It is very far in- deed from being so. London, and the great manu- facturing towns, are produced as specimens of English morality, and balanced against all Scotland, of which Ihe population is comparatively a rural One, and in which the proportion of manufacturing towns is very small. To compare them with Edinburgh and Glasgow, would be more like justice: and Dr. Macculloch doubts whether, ab- stracting as we are injustice bound to do, all- that which constitutes tiie real difference between Lon- don and Edinburgh, the. immorality of the latter is not equal to, perhaps greater than, that of ihe former, regard being also had numerically to that of the inhabitants. In the rural districts of Eng- land, there is. as little exertion of the criminal law as in Scotland. Nor arc crimes so rigidly noted and prosecuted in the latter country as in the former. A hundred sheep may be stolen in she Highlands, . and yet nobody will be charged with theft whereas had twenty been stolen in Kent, they would probably have led to as many transportations.— British Critic. FRENCH MORALS.— The French Government receives annually the enormous sum of 4.0'' millions f francs, as a tax levied on the privileged gambling houses in Paris and the chief provincial towns i; i France. Supposing that there are 500,000 per- sons, which is one sixteenth part of the whole population, addicted to the destructive !;. ibit of gambling, it may be computed that they not only furnish out of their losses, ( lie 40 millions imposed on the proprietors of the tables licensed bv the legislature, but also pay the immense expenses in- urred in keeping up these, in many instances, piendid establishments, and provide the larae fortunes made by the principals, it is further to be observed, that it is not alone at the gaining table that these infatuated persons lose their pro- perty, for the benefit of tbe Government. The Mons- de Pi6t6 ( the Government pawn- shops) are filled with their articles of dress, furniture, plate, jewellery, & x\ which are usually sold at a very low price, as the owners seldom have the means of re- deeming them, or paying the rate of 12^ per cent', interest, which the piety of the Government re. ceives for its loans : or they are forced to sell. their duplicates to usurers, who purchase them for about a quarter of the intrinsic value of the object in pledge. The houses of ill fame, and the unfor* tunate females who are permitted to infest the streets of Paris and other large towns, are also laid under contribution. Thus, while in England gaol- ing houses, and other places of bad repute, are ex- posed to the severity of the law, in France the legislature find in the vices of ( he people the most fruitful resources for ( he royal treasury. This dis- graceful fact is alone sufficient to account for the surprising balance < vf moral character in favour of the English. Noxious EFFECTS OF MERCURIAL VAPOURS. .--- The noxious. effects of inhaling air impregnated wilh mercurial vapour are well known ; an extraor- dinary instance of this kind occurred on board the Triumph man of war, of 74 guns, at Cadiz, in the year 1810. In March, a Spanish vessel, laden with quicksilver having been wrecked., the boats of the Triumph were sent to save some of the cargo, and brought on hoard that ship about. 130 tons of the mercury, which were stowed in the bread- room, The metal was inclosed in bladders, the bladders iu small barrels, and the barrels in boxes-; and the bladders having- rotted, ii became diffused in con- siderable quantities through the ship, mixing with the bread and other provisions. Many of die crew . were very soon taken ill ; and in three weeks 2^ 0 were affected with ptyaiis'm, ulcerations of the mouth, partial paralysis, and' bowel. complaints. The ship was then ordered to Gibraltar, and under- went frequent ablutions: the provisions", stores, and even the shingle ballast, we're removed on shore; and the sick were sent to the hospital. Nevertheless, on re- storing the hold, every man so employed was seized with ptyali* m ; and duiiag- the Triumph's passage on her return to Cadiz, fresh attacks occurred daily and numerously. In conse- quence, she sailed for England, June 13, and ex- perienced fresh breezes from NT. E.; the men. wose kept constantly on d< ick, the ship was aired bv wind- sails, the lower deck ports kept open whenever pos- sible, &. the number of new cases decreased sensibly ; but many of those who had been previously affected became worse. On their arrival at Plymouth, how- ever, July 5, no e? se of ptvalism remained on the books;.-- il should be added, that almost all the live stock OH board died ; and even the mice, that were seen to come into, the ward- room, were observed to leap up to some height, and fall dead on the deck.

SHi, — I feel myself Called upon to reply to a letter which appeared in your Paper of the 17th relative to the Catholic'Claims. I am surprised that your Correspondent, 4< liberal'" as he boasts of being, should allow that if is a question of import, mice, lie says,- that it stands irpog a differen foundation to what it did' in the days of Mary thereby acknowledging his total ignorance of Ca. tbolicisuv, for the great fulcrum on which they primarily rest all iheir arguments is,- that the principles of their religion are uneikiiigeable— uudeyiating from one fixed poiut., that of rendering it universal in extent arid* 4 unbounded in power. They already have unbounded5 religious toleration : why grant to them the power of ruling the king- dom, subverting our religion, burning our bodies, and fulminating, threatenings of eternal damnation to our souls? That it is the opinion of all liberal Protestants that We should have a Catholic Govern- ment is absurd. That it is not the opinion of one in ten, and that nine out of ten-, if they Were aware of the horrors they were, entailing on their posterity, would sacrifice their lives sooner than abjure the religion of their forefathers-; is certain. That the letter which was- published in yoUr Paper of the 10th- was written by an interested" individual I grant; and did all Englishmen know as much of Catholic bigotry as I do, all would be alike inter- ested. 1 am recommended to mind my own busi- ness. I would ask, Is it not my business to retain the freedom of worshipping my Creator according to my own faith ? Is it not my business to endea- vourto keep from the fire and faggot— the torture and Inquisition— which the Catholics will next attempt, to introduce? Let everyone look to his own business, and we need not fear. Will nothing rouse the lethargy of Englishmen, but the sound of arms? Will not even this, when tbey are told that In one week £ 517. 19s. 7d. as a weekly subscription only, was collected iu Ireland for the destruction of our dearest rights? A Catholic Association is opened also in England !!! Remember, brethren, when once the die is cast it is all oyer : a yawning gulpli is open, and we are fast sliding to the brink, the descent to which is smooth and easy— the fall is eternal destruction ! The following is from the Limerick Chronicle :— " Last week, a stout looking fellow was taken up for " singing and vending in the streets an impious halfpenny " ballad, turning into ridicule, in the most abominable " and disgusting language, not only the Bible, but all " Bible Societies; and went. 011 to convey the idea, that " aid from Foreign Powers would ultimately crush the " system in this country. He refused to tell from whence " he came, being, no doubt, well paid for his secresy." The following horrible notice has been sent to nonvfe Protestant Gentlemen who occasionally met iu Dublin :— 1 NOTICE ^-- Tf you persist in yonr meetings, we will 1 certainly have revenge. Thank God, tbe time is near at 4 hand when we will extirpate you from the face of the ' earth. Even if you had not met, there is not one of you ' that is not marked, and all heretics. Do not ttifle, for ' we will send your King and Constitution down to hell, * and that very soon.' So impatient are the Catholics, that they cannot, * ven until after the next Session of Parliament, disguise their sentiments, but most send our King and our Constitution down to Hell before the British people have bowed the knee to their yoke. Let them but wait until then, and we. shall be made their most humble slaves— slaves by our own act- made slaves by the men we appoint to be our Legislators ! Let me again, through the medium of your Paper, exhort m- y brother Protestants to give this subject a share of their consideration ; for they may rest assured it ought to be the nearest and dearest object of their lives. It you should favour me by the insertion of this, I will, at some future time, take some notice of the certain immediate effect of the emancipation of tire Catholics politically, and as certain effect ou the dissenting Church of Eng- land. If fear for ourselves will not stimulate our exertions; for the sake of mercy, consider the dreadful agitation and alarm of our Protestant brethren in Ireland. They, from fatal experience, from the dreadful massacres of Wexford, Ross, and Rcullabogue, and the daily threats they hear of vengeance, which the joyous hope of being masters will not suffer the more ignorant to retain, are sensibly alive to the horrors of their situation Many a Protestant in that wretched country retires to rest at night, iu fear that ere morning his house may be surrounded by assassins, by whose shouts himself, his wife, and perhaps a large family of beloved children, are awoke to witness the applica- tion of a torch to the roof of their miserable hut, the door of which the villains have previously fastened that they may have the savage enjoyment of hearing the distressing , cries of the inhabitants ! Yet under all this we sit tamely, and many, when they do think about it, say it is notour business! But it soon will be, and the liberty of Englishmen will be no more ! To convince the most ignorant that this will he the case, he need but read the pro- ceedings and language made use of at the late Catholic meetings. I am, Sir, your's obediently, A PROTESTANT. IRELAND. [ From the St. James's Chronicle.'] TO THE EDITOR. It has hern the fate of this misgoverned country ever to lie felt by Britain, ami Britain's ministers, its a clog upon its prosperity, and a constant draw- hack upon its happiness, tinder no administration of the affairs of the Empire lius Ireland ever enjojed iin uninterrupted steady rule, founded either upon the principles of the British, or upon those of any other constitution. A giddy uncertainty has guided its councils, and experiment upon experiment, using in a mischievous climax of futility, has kept its people iihjecl and discontented ; and the temper tints produced has invariably been turned lo the factious purposes of the demagogue of the day. Temporizing expedients were always found more siiiveuient than the formation of a steady plan of government; th. y were adopted ut the spur of the moment, and were Only suited lo its exigencies ; the flame wassuiolbeied, hut the embers were still left burning. Here, is a brief epitome of Irish history since its connexion wiili Great Britain; and, wearied by this fluctuation of councils, may she not at last hope for he rest, the peace, and the full enjoyment of that Constitution, under which you, and every British Subject experience perfect security and protection? bi t us east our eves no further back than the scope which our own memory reaches, ond we find he Roman Catholic still and ever al work to obtain predominance. Having hy successive laws procuied a full and perfect tolerating for his Religion, cum- piele security lo his person, and the entire enjoyment of his property ; still lie was discontented and tur- bulent. As nil experiment, the elective franchise, the extent of universal suffrage, was conferred; a measure of conciliation it not only failed to inquillize, hut it on the contrary opened the door near claims, or rather demands, while in its operation il heaped such poverty on the people, that 1 here is no thinking man who does nol now heartily esire to recall the intended boon. It was not how- ever recalled, more was sought for, nnd the rebellion f 17(! 8 ensued. The offspring of that Republican spirit arising out of the French Revolution, it soon lost its pristine character, and, becoming wholly Papist, was turned again*! the lives and properties j) f Protestants, and against British connexion. Such has been the fate of every experiment yet tried for satisfying the demands of llnmnu Catholics, and such must be lite result of every experiment we v vet have lo induce. Claim has ever begat, and will ever beget claim, and refusal produce rebellion. Nothing short of supremacy in church and stute, together with restoration of forfeited property, will content them; as is now honestly ' aud distinctly avowed. • ftie remedy for the existing evil of this day was another expedient. Conciliation had rendered de- bine in an Irish Parliament upon Roman Catholic objects liable to grent danger, and an attempt at a epauituui from Great Britain liy no means impro- bable. The Union became therefore no expedient of absolute necessity; hut in simply changing the seat of legislature it still left us scarcely belter acquainted with Ihe security which the Constitution affects to yield, than if such an event had never taken place. The violent spirit of the Roman Catholics again broke out in 1803, and, though soon checked, its bitter hostility wns unsubdued, and distrust aud dis quietude were everv where prevalent. This state of things gave an opportunity for another experiment, and it was seized upon with the usual avidity. A new party had come into power in England,' and, as they had encouraged the Irish Roman Catholics lo expect from them the consum- mation of all they sought, if they would but assisl I hem minting lite eminence lo which they then had attained, the Duke of Bedford was sent as Viceroy to Ireland ; and he came prepared lo make concessions calculated to endanger even the Cou- stitution itself, should it iuterfeie with his party views of concilia/ ion. But we weie blessed in i patriotic Monarch, by whom ibis project was frus tinted, and our liberties for a time preserved. To his Grace of Bedford, his Grace of Richmond succeeded. He found the country plunged in all the turbulence ond alarm, the natural consequences of his predecessor's measures. It required all the energy and vigour of his great mind lo meet and t allay them, hut no man was ever better fitted for such a tusk. The Insurrection Act, a sketch of which had been found among the papers of his predecessor's secretary, was pusSed into a law; by too often fieeft f3rcein!^ gCno^ T^ f! s? r » arSff^ yet, that he w ill, if necessary, do so again and again ; that he ought to enjoy it iu pence, freedom, and security, and that it is tlieir duty to see lhat he does to. Iu vonr hands I place nor just and righteous cause* Defend the constitutional rights of the Irish Proirstaiiis, and so > 111111 you best preserve your ow n. For the Protestants of Ireland, CECIL. the judicious use of it, tranquillity was restored, and from tluit period, till discovered there hy another experimentalist, it remained a dead letter upon ihe Statute hook. Good sense had taught the Duke, and his successors, till ihe year IS 17, that lo govern both parties in Ireland wisely, tlicy must belong to leither. Under such wise rule we had attained to a degree of peaceful tranquillity but little known before to this land. Efforts, il is true, were made by the ever factions Roman Catholics to rouse the country into disturbance; among these was Ihe formation of an assemblage of them iu Dublin, just similar iu their plans and actions to that which now supplies its lace. It was of course libellous, aud of course seditions, hut we had then another Government, the Cruivii had then other law officers, aud it was al once suppressed. Had yon lived in this country, as I did, in those days,' yon would have been surprised to have seen bow rapidly all was settling down to good feeling nnd good order; but still there were in the British Cabinet some lo whom even the convulsions pro- duced hy the measures of the administration of the Dnke nf Bedford had taught nothing; another ex. periment was to he tried, and Mr. Grant was sent here lo repeat the hopeless attempt of conciliating the Roipun Catholics. By him tbe Protestant was told that he must con- cede, ami the Roman Catholic that he ought to forgive, h is scarce credible in how short a time this mistaken and futile attempt at conciliation, tore open the nearly healed wounds of the country, and set the Unman Catholics and Protestants in array against each other. Outrage and insurrection en sued ; and peace, tranquillity, and safety, to person or property, are banished from the land. Yon, in England, can form no conception of our state ; and yet it is through your right apprehension of it alone, that we can hope for protection. We have, as I have already said, a Parliament of Papists, silting undisturbed in Dublin ! It levies taxes, which, even many Protestants, from dread, are obliged to pay. It is styled hy the Roman Catholic Bishops the Domestic Government of Ire- land, while the demagogue, who heads it, does not hesitate to avow that it sits to watch and controul the British Parliament. It sends out its orators lo inflame the public mind against Protestantism, Ihe heir presemptive to Ihe throne, the Government British connexion and Ihe legislature; while its itinerant barristers are ordered to defend the cri- minals they have thus called into Court, and hence the peasantry are taught to believe that justice cannot he obtained, except hy the intervention of the Association. Cutholic Association. Who and what, it may first be asked, are tiie men who put themselves forward iu the proceedings of the Catholic Association ? And, what is ihe precise character of this Catholic Association itself? We have heard it denounced by respectable, and, we may add, distinguished individuals, connected with Ireland, as a knot of factious orators, whom Ihe great body of Catholics despise and disown. The British Parliament and the British People have been inplored not to identify the Catholic Association with the Catholic Population ; we have been strenu- ously cautioned against confounding the two ; and we have always thought tbe caution a prudent one on lite part of those who were honest in their views ith regard to what is called Catholic Emancipation. But will they— CAN they— now hold the same lan- guage? Can they assert, and hope to he believed, that the Catholics of Ireland disunite themselves from Ihe Catholic Association of Ireland? If tiiey do, our answer is— look at what is now in progress, unjler the pretext of collecting what is termed Ihe Catholic Rent. With whom has that measure ori- ginated. The Catholic Association. By whom is it upported ? The Catholics themselves. Tbe coll was madf— and it has been answered, wherever it has been heard. Contributions pour in from every quarter ; pence, shillings, and pounds are disbursed, from the cabin of the peasant, from the shop of the tradesman, and from the mansion of tbe peer. The fund is rapidly augmenting; and we, if we choose, may stand idly looking on, till we see its application With ihese facts before our eyes, we have a right now to contend that the Catholic Association is not a bead without a body, hut that it is the head of a body, ' nsc movements, all experience teaches os- musl be watched. Thcte is in this head, too, just enough of that busy superficial talent which can concoct mi chief, while the body, which it may he said to animate, has also enough of physicul strength to execute it. If there can exist a doubt upon lb mind of any one as to this fact, it must surely be dispelled by ihe frank, bill incautious, admission of the Dublin Evening Post, which, io an article that may lie regarded as the Manifesto of the Association, says," This Association comprises Ihe mind and the opinion of the Irish Catholics OF ALI. HANKS, and it enjoys their UNLIMITED COSFIDENCB. The success of the rent is a demonstration infallible." We admit it ; the proof is complete ; and had il not been so, we should never have considered any thing which the Association might say or do, worthy of one moment' attention. The Morning Chronicle, in reference to this identity of purpose and of disposition, between the two, says, " The Catholics are assuming attitude which must command attention. The Go- vernment dare not coerce them." For " dare not, we should say, read " must." But, having thus established the important fact, let us now look to tbe manner of its devclopenieut, always hearing in our recollection, that they who are described as wielding the mind and the opinion of the Irish Catholics of all ranks," are also collecting a voluntary lax, at the ia: e of forty thousand pounds per annum ; a tax, which, as the Cork Advertiser justly observes " there seems no reason why, under present circutu stances, it may not speedily lie doubled." If money he ihe sinews of war, il is no less the sinews of fac- tion, and of rebellion. Hitherto it has'been strenuously maintained by one portion of the friends of Catholic Emancipation, that if the last remaining disabilities under which the Catholics labour were removed, ail lhat is sought would be obtained. We need not add, however, tba there are many conscientious persons who doubt the wisdom of going further iu the way of relief; nor can it be diguised that there are others who have warned ns against the delusion of believing, that if every civil disability W'ere annulled, Ireland, as a country, would be benefitted one jot. Upon these points the adverse parties are at issue; and they are fair mailers of grave and impartial discussion. But what discussion can be entertained upon the question of Catholic grievances, when they come before us, as I' ' "" • WfffiWTffPWWBmmmmmmmmmm ers iu this country is one of insult and defiance towards the Government. Do they hope to intimi- date, by specious representations of the inutility now of all attempts at coercion? Their confidence may be prophetic, but it is not founded iu present strength. Let, however, the Catholic tent go on accumulating; let the priests continue their labours without obstruction 5 Jet the pointsof communication he quietly established throughout the country; and then, with enorirtous funds at command— with a bigotled and inflamed population under the control of an active and crafty priesthood— with political objects as the means, and religious ones as the end — it may, indeed, become a question, what the hand of power can do to crush the evil thus matured. But this maturity must never come. Misrepresentations of the boldest kind are not neglected, where it is thought they may iuciease a temporary but useful delusion. It has been asserted that 44 the Presbyterians are well disposed towards the Catholics." Never was there a more unfounded assertion. We will take one county, that is London- derry, not as an exception, hut as a sample; and we will venture, to affirm, that if that county were polled throughout, there would not be found one Protestant iu it favourable to the pretensions of the Catholics. If an Englishman were deprived of the mastery of his property, by a rebellious peasantry ; if he dared not to lay himself on his bed without fire- arms by his side, would he deem himself possessed of that protection, to which, as a British subject, he had a righ' ? Certainly not. What then will he think of the fate of his fellow Protestant in this country, wli has no safety but in a garrisoned slated house, the lower windows all built up with masonry, and his rins within his reach even at meal times; who never retires to rest till the watch is set, and the arms and ammunition prepared; who never in the broad daylight ventures out unarmed, and even then risks assassination from behind the fences enclosing the road upon which he travels ; who never dares to appear in the open airafter darkness has commenced or while it remains; and whose endeavours to obtain payment of his income by legal means, are generally followed hy the destruction of those who assist him ? An Englishman cannot credit what the Irish Protestant suffers; yet I do most solemnly assure him, that I have but faintly depicted his present state iu many parts of this country. And why, let me ask, is all this?— why was Ire- laud taken out of the safe and tranquil state in which Mr. Grant found it? Was it to satisfy some state Quack in an experimental inquiry, as to how far the British Constitution could be endangered, and still exist? Britons! even your interference, unless im- mediate and energetic', will, I fear, be too late to prevent another bloody struggle for our rights, and for your rights. Rouse yourselves then, I implore you ; and charge your Representatives in Parlia- ment to take such measures there as may avert the imminent danger with which we are threatened. Tell them to stop for ever these wild and cruel experiments; tell them that you will not yield another atom of the Constitution ; that Papistry has already obtained all that can Constitutionally be given to it; that if it seeks for more, it must con- form to those laws, through which more can alone be had; for that to « ive it otherwise, would be to annihilate the Briton's birthright; tell them that the Irish Protestant Cherishes that birthright as his unalienable property, that he cherishes it as the tie which connects him with England; that helms but hey now do, in the garb of radicalism? What lan nage must be held to the Catholics thetfrselves, an integral part of that faction which, only a1 few years ago, Convulsed the country with seditious; calls for Parliamentary reform ? This, we know, is not the ime when anv danger can be apprehended from an ittempt to renew those calls. England and Scotland it least would return no answer; but Ireland is in far different state ; and, besides, a Statesman look* to principles, and estimates their tendency, not merely with reference to the present, but as regards' the future. Catholic petitioners for the restoration' of alleged civil and ecclesiastical rights, may he istened to, and justice awarded; but Catholic Reformers, demanding to' new- model the Constitu- tion, before they consent toaccept thos? e of its benefits from which they say they are excluded, have no laim. If they have chosen to merge their ovtfn pecific interests in the pretensions of a revolutionary faction— if they have determined to seek relief as- Catholics, by means of Parliamentary Reform— they must he tauglft+ hat they have voluntarily deferred the accomplishment of their hopes till the subversion of the British Constitution is also accomplished. Our readers will perceive hy the following extracts from the proceedings of the Catholic Association, that the now acknowledged leaders of the Catholic body affect no disguise of their real intentions. One speaker ( Colonel Butler, the Chairman of the day) said, " there was no doubt that Catholic Emancipa- tion would be granted ; but still that measure would not restore this unfortunate country to the benefits of ihe British Constitution. Il would not prevent the harassed people from being transported under an Insurrection Act, nor preserve the miserable pea- santry from the exactions of tithe proctors, nor protect them from the grinding taxation of jobbing grand juries ; but if the people of England were to coalesce with the Catholics, that grand panacea for the grievances of British subjects ivould he obtained — Parliamentary Reform— and THEN might Ireland hope to share the benefits of British laws." A second, Mr. O'Connell himself, declared he entirely concurred with the Honourable Gentleman. 44 Ca- tholic Emancipation was only one of the great and necessary preliminaries to doing justice towards Ireland." A third ( Mr. Lawless) was not satisfied with Mr. O'Connell u in layingitdowu that Catholic Emancipation was the great preliminary to our national regeneration. The two great questions of Emancipation and Reform were combined, hut that of Reform should have precedence, because if they went to Parliament seeking- solely for Emancipation, they went as a distinct body but in the question of Reform, they would carry with them theiveight of a people's voice-" the voice of the whole people of the British Empire; and if Reform wasobtaiued, Eman- cipation must follow/* Mr. Lawless was asked," who were the Reformers - of England, and what had they done to expect the co- operation of the Catholics ? The answer of Mr. Lawless was sufficiently explicit. 14 At all the Re- form Meetings," he said, 41 the kindest expressions of sympathy and good feeling were declared for the Catholics, and particularly at the Smithjield meet- ings* where so many victims suffered for declaring their detestation of an oligarchy, such as Parliament is, as at present constituted." Need we go any further? We have shown by irre- fragable facts, that the Catholic Association of Ire- land is, now, the efficient organ of the Catholic people of Ireland. The reports of the debates in this assembly show, too, by whom, and in what manner^ their proceedings are supported. These same docu- ments disclose, also, the objects aimed at; and the only question that remains, is, whether those objects shall be deliberately pursued, or whether a timely effort shall arrest their progress. Every effort is now making to drag Ireland to the edge of a precipice; and let it not be supposed that this can be done, without involving, more or less, the general interests of the Empire. Therefore it is, that we wish to impress the public mind of thii country with a due sense of the importance of what is now going on. Our enemies can only find iheir strength in our apathy. One of the good effects resulting from the op- position to schools of industry, and the perusal of the Sacred Scriptures, is practically illustrated at present in this town. A child, totally unprovided for and unprotected, was, until lately, an inmate in one of those refuges for want; but, lest, site might become a - proselyte or Protestant, she was forbidden to attend there any longer, and cautioned ainst reading the Testament. The poor gi^ l obeyed the direction of him whom she had been taught to call by ( he appellation of " Father," absented herself from school, became houseless and in want, and is at this moment in the lowest state of degradation to which the female character can be reduced, iu the streets of this town. Does not the all seeing eye of Heaven w itness and record this sinful deed ? Will not the Almighty avenger of the orphan's wrongs hurl destruction on the cause of her infamy and disgrace?— Clare Journal. In a late publication, we stated that a circular letter had been issued to the Officers commanding regiments stationed in Ireland, prohibiting the soldiers from contributing to any political fund ; since which, we have learned that a letter has been addressed to the Inspector- General of the Con- naught police, threatening to dismiss any of the constable's who shall become subscribers to the Catholic Rent. The letter, we understand, was read on Saturday hist to the police assembled at Ballinasloe; and what has been the result ? Why, the very next day the congregation were informed, by the Priest, in Ihe Chapel, that any person who did not wish to have his name publicly mentioned as a subscriber, might give his contribution to Mr, Dillon, the orator, and collector of the Rent, privately, and then there could be no danger of any person's name being expend — Dublin Star. EN MS, Nov. 15.— On Friday evening last, after the pupils who receive instruction in the Roman Catholic poor school in this town had been dis- missed, they formed into regular order, and march- ed to the height of the street, in front of the Court- house, where, having set fire to some slraw which they brought with them, they burned several copies of a letter, circulated daring the week, addressed to the Roman Catholics of the town, and gave three shouts that made the welkin ring. The letter was signed, most appropriately for the occasion, " A Protestant," and its fate raised up many ideas lhat forced the mind to other days and other scenes. There was something, too, very portentous in it, and which we hope many will profit by. The letter which called forth this ebullition of tolerant feeling was couched in terms at which no person could take offeuce,* and contained sentiments honourable in the highest degree to the writer, evincing Christian principles unknown to the heart- less instigator of the disgraceful ceremony we are pained to advert to. Its publication was in con- sequence of the speeches lately delivered in Clonmcl against the circulation of the Scriptures, having been printed and circulated under the direction of the Catholic Rent Committee in this town. * It has since occurred to us, that we ought to have told our readers who the patriots were whom " Mr. Lawless so gratefully remembered. The Secretary to the club who then d- ired to assemble in public, was Mr. Arthur Thistle- wood : he, of course, was the leading orator; and one of a string of resolutions which were moved on that occasion by the worthy friend of Mr. Thistleioood, Dr. Watson, ap- plauded the Catholics, and invited them, together with me Jem, to make common cause with British Radicals. Be- sides the murderer and traitor Thistleioood, there were Davison, Brunt, and Tidd, at the Smithfield Meetings. These were some of the victims who were afterwards " sacrificed" at the Old Bailey, for getting up the murder- ous conspiracy of Cato- street. Another of those who graced the meeting with his presence was a person named Hartley, who has since fallen a " victim" at Maidstone, being also " sacrificed" riot for high treason, but for murder'.

Hofts E ST EALIN G.— It is said there are regular stables in London where stolen horses are received, preparatory to their being sent off to the Continent. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Cham- bers and Son, the bankers, on Wednesday last, at which Mr. Calcraft, the Member of Parliament, presided, an expos6 of the affairs of that firm was made, in the highest degree satisfactory to the creditors and honourable to the parties. Upon investigating his property, it has been discovered lo be worth nearly double Mr. Chambers's own estimate ; ami when made available to the credi- tors, will,- after paying twenty shillings iu the pound, leave < x sunt of sixty thousand pounds1 in his hands. Two valuable horses belonging to one of the Quorndon Hunt ere destroyed at Derby onSatu day morning last, by suffocation. The groom had left a candle burning against a wall,- while he quit- ted the stable for some purpose, which falling upon the ground, set fire to some straw and caused their death a few minutes afterwards. One of the horses is said to have cost its owner more than 200 guineas.— Manchester Gazette. CAUTION.— On Friday, the 12th inst. as stated m our last, a destructive fire took place in tbe buildings, stacks, & c. on the Hill Farm, near Biggleswade.— On investigation, it appeared that the fire was occasioned by the carelessness and gross negligence of William Bass, the horse- keeper, who was, in consequence, on Monday, the 15th inst. convicted before the Magistrates, under the statute 14th Geo. III. cap. 78, in the penalty of £ 100, and in default of payment was committed to the House of Correction to hard labour for 18 calendar months, pursuant to the said statute, which provides this punishment for servants who, by their negligence or carelessness, cause any house or buildings to be set on fire. SERIOLS EXPLOSION OF GAS— Between six nd seven on Thursday evening, the utmost con- sternation was excited in the neighbourhood of Fetter- lane, London, by a tremendous explosion of gas on the premises of Mr. Barrett, grocer and tea- dealer, corner of Dean- street. Mr. Barrett had been enlarging his shop and making some trifling alterations in the cellars, where two of the carpenters were employed al the time the explosion took place, both of whom were thrown down, and one had his thigh most severely bruised. M Barrett, who was making up goods behind the counter, declared that he felt himself literally raised some inches off the floor. The house shook from base to summit, every thing trembled, and the windows weie driven into the street with terrific violence, but in a manner particularly worthy of remark : that on the right was shattered to atoms, glass and frame, whilst the one on the opposite side seemed as if it had been cut through with the most mathematical precision ; aud, strange to say, one pane from which the timber work had been torn away remained without a single fracture. In the rear of the shop, the window looking into a back yard was also driven out, and the brick- work round the chimney quite shook. Iu the cellars the force of the combustion was even more distinctly marked : three strong lattice windows were shivered to atoms; a partition of boards was thrown down, and two large doors were wrenched off their hinges. The flames ascended to the shop in three distinct and amazingly brilliant columns, and instantane- ously communicating with some light timber- work, gave strong reason to apprehend a repetition of those fearful calamities which have agitated the public mind for the last four days. However, by the copious use of water, the flames were got under without further damage. It is supposed, that owing to a defect in the main pipe, a quantity of the inflammable matter had exuded through the aperture, and on the workmen introducing a lighted candle into the apartment, ignition consequently followed. Josh. Hudson took place on Tuesday, ou Warwick Race Course.— After fighting 16 rounds in 18 minutes, Hudson was unable to come to time, and was removed from the stage in a most dreadful state from the blows he had received— The celebrated Mr. Hayne was the backer of Cannon.— Crawley and Sampson were the seconds of Hudson; and Spring and Cribb seconded Cannon. The umpires were Capt. Radford for Cannon, and Mr. Wood- ward for Hudson. Mr. Osbaldeston was the referee. — Thousands assembled to witness the battle : the Grand Stand was filled at 10s. a piece; aud 5s. a- piece was paid to get into a waggon to see the battle! GENERAL ELECTION.-— It is reported with some degree of confidence, that in the. event of a general election, there will be a very sharp contest for the county of Surrey. Mr. Holme Sumner is thought by many to stand on very slender ground, and intimation has been given, that Mr. Maberly,- senior, and Sir William Jolliffc intend to offer themselves ; the influence of the former gentleman in the county is known to be considerable, and ihe friends of the latter, who has lately been appointed Colonel of the Surrey Yeomanry, in the room of Sir T. Turton, are sanguine of success.— Evening Paper, LAAV OF PARTNERSHIP.— In the case of the Alliance Company, last week, in the Court of King's Bench, the opinion of the Lord Chief Justice was recorded us follows ;— His Lordship said, " The simple principle he went upon was, that if A. B. and C. agree to become partners in a particular concern, B. and C. cannot afterwards say to A. w e think we can join a beneficial concern to the one we are already in, and, therefore, you must agree to that; neither could the two say to the third, if you do not consent, we will pay you the amount of your capital, and turn you out of the concern altogether. The only thing the two could do, would be to raise a capital, and go into any other concern they might choose." Government is about to establish a resident Police Magistrate, with clerks, officers, & c, in the Staffordshire Potteries. The population of that district is estimated at upwards of seventy thousand ; and it is said the reason for adopting this measure is the great inconvenience which has arisen from almost the whole of the local Justices being, some way or other, concerned in the manu- factures there carried on ; so that they have fre- quently to decide against each other— thereby cre- ating much jealousy and dissension. The office of this new police establishment is to be at Hanley town iu the very heart of the potteries; and the salary of the Magistrate £ 1000 per annum, with house, & c. A murderous affray took place al a public- house at Bradley- lane, near Fixby, Yorkshire, on the 5th inst. between four game keepers and servants of some neighbouring gentlemen, and eight youiti men of the vicinity, whom they met at the said public- house ; and which quarrel arose from an old grudge between some of the parties. On the game- keepers and servants leaving the house, the other persons assailed them with stones, finally over- powered them, and beat two of them so dreadfully with their own guns, that one man, named James Diggles, servant to John Armilage, Esq. of Wood house, died on the 9th inst. of the injuries thus inflicted.— A Coroner's Inquest was held, and the Jury have returned a verdict of 44 Wilful Murder against the eight individuals by whom the game- keepers and servants were assailed. FIRE AT FULBOURN.— On Wednesday morn- ing, about eleven o'clock, the barn of Mr. John Hancock, at Fulbourn, was discovered to be on fire, and the flames directly communicated with the Rectory- farm, lately taken possession of by Mr. Baker, which included all the corn of the late harvest, which, together with the buildings, were entirely consumed. The flames then spread across the road to a house occupied by Mr. John Mason, which was speedily levelled to the ground. The Rectory- house, occupied by the Rev. R. Fishe, caught fire, and sustained considerable damage be- fore Ihe flames could be subdued. The general opinion is, that the fire was occasioned by an in- cendiary. Mr. Hancock and Mr. Mason's premises were insured in the Norwich Union Office, and the Rectory buildings in the Globe ; but we are sorry to learn that Mr. Baker, the most extensive suf. ferer, was not insured. Every possible exertion was made by the inhabitants and other persons present, to prfevent the progress of the flames, and the Sun, Norwich, and Hertfordshire engines apeedily arrived, aud continued playing throughout the whole day.— Cambridge Chronicle. Ou the nrght between Saturday and Sunday, there blew a severe gale. At half « past one o'clock, the brick stalk of a large steam- loom factory at Mile- end was blown down by the hurricane, and falling on the roof of the factory, the weight drove in a portion of the roof, although it was uncommonly strong, arid was supported by cast- metal pillars, and very thick beam's of vVood. The stalk was ninety feet high, and eight feet diameter at the bottom! i had been finished two months ago. Pait of the sid wall was also thrown down ; and the demolished part of the building presents a mass of broken bricks and mortar, and torn wood and'lead. The roof was of the ffrmest construction, and from the great quan- tity of ground which it coversv owing to the factory being only one story high, it is sard to have cost £ 1,500. Several of the new stalks about the town have bee'n much'shaken by the wiW,' and: rocked a few inches to one side. Yesterday, scaffoldings were erected,- and the stalks strongly bound with ropes to enable them to Withstand the wind. About three o'clock on Sunday morning, a large brick erection at Kelvinhaugh- printfteld, belonging l(> Mr, John M'Gregor, was blown down- with a tremendous crash. The building was 151 feet in length, and 34 feet broad, and about 110 feet of the outside wall is completely demolished ; and many of the joists in the interior are broken. About 50 feet of the north part of the building, that was subdivided from the rest, and contained the engine house, still stands ; the wind having- come in a westerly direction and left that part entire. In some instances doors were found burst open in the morning by the force of the wind, that had been locked the preceding night The storm has not been so severe for many years. Many thatched houses have been partly unroofed, and hay- stacks dispersed by the force of the wind. Some slender brick walls have been blown down and several masons' sheds, on exposed situations, have been shivered to pieces. Some glass cupolas have been blown in. It is said that a ne* v building, intended for a public work, has been thrown down by the violence of the storm at Duntochar. Many of the chimney cans and loose bricks aud tiles were blown down; and it was dangerous to venture out. The wind was so strong that a person con Id with difficulty keep himself perpendicular, and several intoxicated persons were found lying on the street; who had been blown over. Early in the evenin many of the shop- keepers put the shutters on their windows to save the glass. The Clyde was very much swollen.— Glasgow Chronicle. THUNDER STORM.— At three o'clock on the morning of Sunday last, a terrific thunder storm commenced here, and continued for half an hour. The flashes of lightning were more vivid, arid more frequent, than any we recollect to have witnessed during the Summer— and the effect of the Ion re- echoed roar of 44 Heaven's Artillery," as peal succeeded peal,— aud the brilliancy of the electric fluid gleaming amidst ceaseless torrents of rain, surpassed in its awful g- randeur the utmost power of human description.— The gale of Tuesday morning was attended with some destructive consequences The ballnstrades in front of Mr. Thompson's Mont- pellier Pump Room, on each side of the Lion, were completely beaten in. Two upper stories of a house now erecting near the Bath Turnpike were blown down. On Colonel Reddeil's grounds, near Wel- lington Cottage, a large elm tree that had for years resisted the tempest's rage, was torn up from the roots, and falling across the stream, nearly beat iu the roof of some of the out offices.— Cheltenham Chronicle. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.— On Sunday morning se'nnight, a person named Edward Tho- mas was employed in repairing the water wheel attached to the mill occupied hy Mr. Lindop, corn- dealer, of Chester ; he had occasion to descend into the wood- work of it, when the water, which was held back, by some means got into the race and put it in motion. He was carried round by the stream, and dashed against the bottom, where he remained till he was completely suffocated. The body was dreadfully bruised. The Inquest brought in a verdict of Accidental Death. Russcl, the Under- Sheriff for York, for the ex- ecution of Morris Cam fie Id, and Michael White, who were tried and convicted on the 10th of August last, at our assizes, of a burglary, at- tended with very aggravating circumstances. Our readers will recollect, that they had broken into the house of Edward Ellis, the keeper of the Newton toll- bar, on the road from Leeds to Wakefield, on the night of the 8th of March, aud severely beat the gate keeper and his wife, both aged persons j after which they took away the money that was found in the lilt. rl heir Counsel, Mr. Alexander, took a legal objection to the indictment, contend- ing, lhat the ownership of llie property stolen was iu Mr. Ward, who leased tbe tolls, and not in the prosecutor, and that it ought to have been so laid. Mr. Baron Hullock was of a contrary opinion ; but Ibe point was reserved for the consideration of the Judges, and the prisoners were reprieved to the 30th of ihe present month. Their case has been duly considered, and as tbe other Judges agree in opinion with the Learned Baron, they will suffer llie awful sentence of the law 011 Tuesday next. Hull Packet. On Thursday last, an inquest was held at Hol- beck, on the body of Hannah Firih, a young woman, 10 years of age, ihe domestic servant of Mr. Taylor, surgeon, in Water- lane. The follow- are the circumstances of Ibis melancholy case : — On Monday evening last, two boys, Edward Perry, and William Barker, of the respective age. of 12 and 13 years, loaded a small cannon wilii gunpowder and low, iu doing which, they used a piece of iron about six inches in length, and aa thick as a man's finger, which became fastened in the cannon, and baffled all their efforts lo disen. age il. They therefore at length determined to discharge it by firing off the cannon, having, as Ihey thought, ascertained thai Ihe street was clear: unfortunately, at this moment tbe deceased was entering tbe hutrse of a neighbour, and the iron ramrod was forced through Ihe. calf of her leg, which produced an effusion of blood lhat proved fatal, and she expired after languishing about 4( r hours. The Jury found a Verdict of " Accidental Death." We hope this lamentable accident will pul a stop to llie foolish and reprehensible practice of firing pistols, he. for amusement.—— I. eedt Jnteltif/ encer. Or.

ANOTHER MAN SHOT HY A SPUING. GUN !— On Monday au accident happened at Gate Wood, near Cantley. In Ibe absence of the gamekeeper,- an assistant was left 10 feed the pheasants', when unfortunately ( reading on Ihe wire attached to a spring- gnu, it went off, and ihe man received Ihe contents in his legs and thighs. Though severely wounded, we understand, he is iu a fair way of recovery.— Ooncaster 1' aper. It is not long since a gentleman travelling from Falkiik lo Edinburgh, by Ihe night mail- coach, paid each of the drivers upon the road with a pep- permint lozenge instead of a sixpence ; and last of all, the guard having rajsed his hand lo his hat, by way of giving our traveller a hint, lie was paid ex aclly in ihe same manner us his friends nf the whip had been. The wag, however, was delected, and did not escape without a large share of Ihe curses of Ernulphus.— Edinburgh Observer.

He was set at liberty by the Magistrates tbe next day, when lie presented ibe watchman with half- arcrowu, for his guardianship of himself and his money! IMPORTANT TO HAWKERS.— Latterly a very mistaken notion has gone abroad among persons of this description, viz . lhat, being the manufacturers, tbey are privileged lo vend their goods when and where they please, without taking out a licence. By ihe 58th Geo. 111. cap 14, it is explicitly and clearly enacted that unless in towns, cities, fairs, markets, aud other corporate places, 110 person w hatever, whether manufacturer or not, shall hawk from house to hoose without a licence, under the penalty of £ 10'. Thus in a village or hamlet it is illegal for the manufacturer to selt bis goods not having a licence. ENGAGEMENT TO PAY ANOTHER'S DEBTS.— In the Court of King's Bench 011 Monday week, the Attorney General, in moving for a new trial,• mentioned that a contract by words only lo pay another's debts was not good in law ; such contract must be iu writing. Ho\ V TO KEEP OUT OF THE C. » ZETFE.—< Before you take a house and shop, consider well of all the circumstances, and do not rest entirely on your own judgment: the best persons to seek advice of are those who ( having no motive for or against the undertaking) live in the neighbourhood ; they are belter able to judge of local wants, aud the probability of your success. Bargain with a good working carpenter and other tradesmen to make the alterations absolutely necessary. Pay ready money for all materials. In laying in your goods, go lo a respectable wholesale house, and by no means propose any extension of credit; be punctual in your payments within the time speci- fied ; this will open the door of every warehouse to your approach, aud place Ihe very best goods in your line at your service, and you will soon have the choice of the market. Spend your evenings at home, and make all about you as comfortable as possible. If you wish lo serve a needy friend, rather lend him your money than your acceptance ; in Ihe one case you can only lose your money, but in the other you may not only lose your money, but your reputation also. If by any accident you are unable lo satisfy a creditor's demand, do not absent yourself, but slate to him the plain facts; in Ihe worst event he is hut your creditor, but by avoiding or deceiving him he becomes your enemy. Strictly adhering to these. rules, with industry and perse- verance, you will, in all human probability, keep out of the Gazette.— The Economist.
