Af>. er >" uort'iy touching upon .* e> eral oi' the topics in the Speech, the Nobie Lord frilverted'" to ti. e present happy state and prospects of the country, and observed how great must be tiie satisfaction of those Mini.- tefs and Commanders, who, having guided our civi! and nriiitriiV affairs,' and- been ansu erSbie; ior rm asur » s of a nigh and intrepid policy ijj'tone's of- trial, havfc contributed to this result- by their- councils and by their arms, and v ho' hiivc Hcc;) iupii< hed tlii's with' unbroken faith au'd- vvith unaltered invtiiutioiis. Referring to that' ' part d the Speech whiWi n'o'tiees the state of I- re.*' land, his Lordship declared hrmself a friend to Catholic Emancipation but, adverting ' to tlie Rowan Caiiioiic Association, lie said, " It is with iufiniie moriideation that 1 see so much in the laii- guage uud- eoudiict of the Roman Catholics them- kelVes that ' is calculated to keep ali ve the remem- braWe of old times — to fix upon their church the charge of beitig semper ea'rfem in its most . odious seiKse-— and to strengthen t'h6 arguments and, em » bitter the feelings ot those that' are dfc'termiued at all hazards to resist their claim. Their langusige has become menacing, and their conduct treads upon the utmost v. p; rge of the law— and yet they would do well to remember that the ho. dy , by which they are wpposed - though 1 trust it i' » to be softened uudconvinced — is not. to hip intimidated; and that if ( a thing which I only mention to abominate) the contest were ever to be carried on by other weapons than those of reason and argument, in the dreadful calamity that would in vol ve our common country , they would bear the greatest share. There is only one way in which this measure can be b& neficialU accomplished r'- ouly one way in which I desire to see it brought about— and tliat is, by ( lie, well earned and cordial consent of the Protestants of this empire. Any tiling like menace orhostility— nnv attempt to set up a btate fwitb'in a state— to establish a separate revenue and independent, resources- only serves to delay the event to an indefinite period. It tends to bring- the vy- ho'le question to the' calamitous issue — who is the strongest ? Now, my Lords, so long as the ouutry remains prosper- ous, the Protestant majority- a majority of property a id education in Ireland •-- and" a majority of every tiling iu England in firm possession of it — must be the strongest fortress of the State. I do not deny that tiie evil day may come- when, profiting by t hp public diiitress,' and aided by> foreign power., the Jtmnan, Cati'hq- lies may pr « vail by force againn't a naturally superior domestic po « er.: But, then, what w-" iiiiI'd be the. nature of supii a. success, to which I see iheir leadfrs now begin . to point in no obscure't- rms ? VVhilt they desire, naturally and reasonably as i think, is admission into the State participation of privilege— and: equality of civil rights. And what, would they then attain They would enter by violence ijito a broken and dis. nie^ hhered State— they would participate iii half exnnguished liberty and anxious independence, and lie admitted to a* complete equality of wretched, ness and degradation under a foreign yoke. It is better to wait for a share in a prosperous, rather' than triumph iu rebellion and treason over a ruined, countiy. From stnaU begiuningK they had once acquired by moderation and perseveiauc « almost an equality of votes in their favour in both Mouses of Parliament; and though I am inclined to believe that in this instance Parliament had outrun the sense. of the country, yet the omen was favourable, and I have no douut but that in a short time the public would have followed its natural guides What effect ought to he produced'by what is now going on, I can hardly' venture to say ; but what etl'eti. 1 wilt be produced, I'well know. The Roman Catholics have already lost ail their Protestant fr i e n d s t h a r w a v e r e d, a u d t h e y m a y, « r e I oil g, s h a k e those that are still firm. It is only by reverting to another line of conduct that they can justify the cordial co- operation of their, friends, or conciliate opponents too strong to be overcome except by the entire subversion of ihe State itself.'''— His Lordship concluded by applauding the conduct of Ministers in relation to ' those Stales of South America who appeared to have established their independence Viscount GOUT seconded the motion for the Address In alluding to the Catholic Association his Lordship said, it had usurped a power quite unknown to the v oristiintioti, by levying large- taxes uptVn; his Majesty's subjects. if he were himself most friendly to the Catholic cause, he would upon that account be foremost'to oppose such measures. Lord Kivq condemned the intention of cocrcin the Catholic Association. The Marquis of LANSDOWN gave his hearty con cnrrence to all that was said about the internal prosperity of the country, and the wisdom of its foreign policy. in the recognition of the independent States of Smith America. With reference to that part of his Majesty's Speech which touched upon the state oi Ireland, he regarded it as peculiarly .--' important for the attention of the House; and with : re* peot to the Catholic Association, he would not then enter into its proceedings either in the way of justification or attack. The Etirlof fivuuyoor, believed that nb'differ? rift of opinion could exist with respect to tile satisfactory condition of the country ; and he was of opinion that GovVrnmeut might lairly proceed in the agree, able task of removing those restrictions affecting commerce, which, under less prosperous auspices it would have been unsafe, perhaps, to meddle with With respect to the proceedings of the Catholic Association of Ireland, they no doubt amounted to an evasion of the -. provisions of the Convention Act and it was for Parliament to decide if it would authorize the evas on of a statute so important. He protested for himself, that if lie stood before the House as the advocate of Catholic claims, the first net which he should vote for would be the putting down of the Catholic Association His Lordship concluded by stating, that he should. on that day se'nuight, move for a renewal of the Committee for inquiring' into the state of Ireland The Earl of DONOUGMM ORE contended that the Catholic Association had done no injury. The Earl of RODKN entirely concurred in what had fallen from the Noble Lord ( Dudley and Ward) who had moved the Address, and also from the Noble Earl ( Liverpool), as to the necessity of put ting down the Catholic Association. For the last twrlve mouths that Assembly had pursued a course mast dangerous to the peace and prosperity of the jVultu, and calculated to poison the minds of the people, lie spoke thus in the presence of many Ni » 1de Lords, who, as well as himself, ha- i lately resided in Ireland, and could bear testimony to the baneful effects produced by the Association on the minds of the peasantry and of the Catholics large. It was easy for Noble Lords who lived this country in the midst of tranquillity and co: fort, to speak lightly of the evils to which he alluded, but it was another thing to witness the scenes which occurred dai'y in Ireland. There Was no time when the country was called on to act more decisively than the present, or when the PVot(>. s: ants looked more eagerly and anxiously for protection. Government might rely upon it, that Ireland could he governed only by firm and de eitsive measures. There was no other mode by which thoo* agitators of the Association, be they whom they might— and who one in inent talked of the anus of France and of America, and at another moment of Bolivar and Washington— could be made to crouch beneath the law, By these, and uot by weak measures, was the evil to be repressed. Earl Cfcj'jfDBPJ' was of opinion that the Catholic Association bud effected considerable good to'tho country. The Address was then read and agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS. On the return of the Speaker from the House of Lords, the Speech was again read, and Lord F. L GoWErc rose to move the Address reply. His Lordship then proceeded to notice aud comment upon the. several topics referred to in the Speech. In referring to the- Catholic Association, he said, ii I cannot but express my deep regret Jtu- y unfeigned sorrow for its institution, and. my ardent wish for its extinction. I think that, the talent of man could with difficulty have devised any proceedings more calculated to impede the rege neration, to increa « # the prejudices which stand ii the way of the hupfwness of Ireland." His Lord whip's speech was laudatory, of the state of the eouutry : and he declared his conviction, that, iu tlie call for additional force*, there was not the slightest' intention of increasing the army in Ire- .• nnd. His Lordship spoke at considerable length on the state of South America, commended the eondiiet of Ministers ou that point, and concluded hy moving the Address, which, as usual, was tlie echo of the Speech. Mr Alderman THOMPSON seconded the motion; u « d, ia the « « urs « of his speech, gare asuurnaces which must afford high gratification to whole kingdou'i," lliaf,' in c*> use: queiic. e;' of the. prosperous stat" of the country,, Ministers were enabled to make; far} her reduction J$ Mifi. on. \ V'ith regard to the C. 41% i.- c$ ssociat. i. on|, jc t; lumghtj tj: iat under ^ XI still £ \ c j'rcu Hist a n vjf,. t 11 e ue , . w • il ' one ( Vpih'ioVi. as t'lVVhe eioirse id l. i^' pursued'.'

With'- respect to the liberal policy adopted towards some of the American States, he declared himself willing, notwithstand- ing- their tardiness, to give to Ministers all the credit « iiich the measure deserved. As it respected the Catholic Association, the Learned Gentleman remarked, that after the . must, attentive, observation nd. vigilant inspection of all which that body had done arid said, he cquld not discover a single word act which justified the charge conveyed in the words of his Majesty's Speech. He was misin- formed,.. too, by those who . must possess the best means of knowledge., ' if the Calliblic Association in Ireland did not actually and virtually represent the ishes and feelings of almost all the Catholic body that country. To attack, by Act of Parliament an Association thus representing the sentiments Wishes," and feelings of ' the people of Ireland would be to attack the people of Ireland themselves Mr. W LAMB spoke in favour of the Address, but wished it had contained less exultation. Mr. Secretary CANNING said that he retained the opinion he alVvays had professed relative to Catholic Emaucipatiou, " and he should be always ready to support it when properly brought under the consi- deration of Parliament;' but he most be permitted to sav;, that if the daemon of discord and disunion were to go abroad, he cptild not have stirred up a body of persons more injurious to the Catholic ea" « " Se than the self- called Catholic Association They had called upon the Roman Catholics of Ire- land to be peaceful hy the hate they bear to the Orangemen ! Such a principle was not a Christian principle ; and if it were the principle of the Roman Catholics, he must say that he had been in a fatal error in advocating their cause. The Right Hon. ientleman displayed, with amazing force of reason and felicity of expression, the real character, per- nicious tendency, and unconstitutional influence, of the Catholic Association; and his defence of the conduct of Ministers respecting South America, was hold and unequivocal. Speaking of Bolivar's expedition, as connected with the period w hich his Majesty's Government had chosen for their inter- ference, he said, " While there was a chance that the result of that expedition might be disastrous, so as to bring hack war into Colombia, to have acknow- ledged a complete separation would have been to admit what was not the fact. The question now is,, whether the successes in Peru, of which we have oinplete; information, have been such. as to remov e fhjit danger. I think they have been, and upon that opinion the British Government has acted "- At the same time, be observed, His Majesty's Ministers had adopted', in their proceedings, that cautious course bv which alone the hostile interpo- sition of other Powers could be avoided. The Right Hon. Gentleman, with his usual flow of cutting irony and brilliant sarcasm turned into ridicule those parts of Mr. Brougham's speech in which that Gentleman claimed for the Opposition ( he merit of originating the present' course of mea- sures adopted bv the Administration. H » ' deferred the consideration of other topics to the more detailed discussions that, will be hereafter necessary, and sat down amidst the general cheering of the House. The Address was carried unanimously, and the House adjourned at nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. A debate of some length arose on bringing up the merchant. Report of tlie Address. Mr. HOBHOCSB having urged his objections to various points adverted to in the Speech, the CHANCELLOR of ti e EXCHEQUER took the opportunity of stating, that although it was deemed necessary by the Government to make a small addition to the military force of the country, he was happy to state that he should, nbtwithstarid- in^^ be'eTiabled'ToTnake some additional remission of taxes, and he flattered himself that the reduction would be founded upon sound principles, and such as. would be generally acceptable to the public. With resppcf to the proposed military augmentation, the Right Hon Gentleman added, that the present condition of Ireland did not, in the. opinion of Government, require a single additional soldier, and it was quite obvious that no such necessity could exist in Fngland ; the Speech plainly pointed out that the stale of India and the Colonies was the sole reason or" the intended increase. Lord NROBNTI Sir J NEWPORT, Mr. DEN MAN, Mr. M. I ITZOBRALN, Mr C. HUTCHINSON, and others^ strongly condemned the measures already adopted by Government towards the Catholics of Ireland, as well as those in contemplation. Mr PF, EL, SirT. LK'RHBRTNFTE, and Mr. BDTTKK- WORTH, as strongly defended the conduct of the Irish Government; and Mr. PEEL declared his de eided opinion, that the great body of the Catholics of Ireland would not identify themselves with the proceedings of the Catholic Board ; whilst Mr. R MARTIN as confidently asserted, that although the great body of the ' Catholics did not approve of the violent language used by some of the Members of the Association, yet that they agreed with the Asso- ciation in principle, and would act by their direc- tions, and support any proposition emanating from the Board. Lord NUGENT said, lie should on an early day have to present a petition from the English Ca- tholics, signed by three times the number of person* who had signed former petitions from that body ; which petition would sta'e one fact, namely, that the English Catholics agreed with, and were ready to support with their voice the claims of, their Irish breth ren. Col. PALMER commented at some length, and with considerable severity, on the conduct of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs ( Mr. Canning). He spoke of the Cabinet as being divided, and beht upon supplanting each other. He thought Minister! should allow his Majesty to do for his British Ca tholic subjects, what he had already '' one for his Hanoverian, namely, grant them full and free par. ticipatioii in civil and political privileges. That paragraph in the Speech which alludes to Indian Affairs was also discussed at considerable length; and Sir C. FORBES censured the Govern tnent of India for having unnecessarily and wantonly plunged the British Dependencies into war with the Native Powers He ridiculed the idea > f sending out so small a force as Ministers contemplated where 40,000 men would be required to efleet any good object. Mr. C. W.' V. WYNN said a few words i « justifica tion of the Board ofControul, and requested of the House to suspend its judgment until certain Papers^ now in progress of printing', should be laid before them; He expressed a confident opinion, that, when they had read those Papers, Gentlemen woulc agree with him, that the war in which we were en- gaged was unavoidable, and that it had been brought ou by the unjust pretensions and faithless conduct of the Burmese Government. He con- cluded by stating, that advices had been received recently, which stated, that the health of the troop about Rangoon hav* greatly improved of late. Alderman HEVGATE said, that as the Government were about to reduce taxation, lie was convinced that the reduction most satisfactory to the peopl< would be the repeal of the Assessed Taxes alto ycther.— The Address was then agreed to. M r GOULBURN gave notice of a motion for Thurs day next, for leave to bring in a Bill to prevent Illegal Associations in Ireland. Mr. BROUGHAM contended, that time should be given for assembling aud obtaining the opinion of Irish Members on this important subject; and, with a view of enforcing a full attendance previous to the second reading of the Bill, he moved that the House should be called over on Friday se'nnight; which was ordered Several Petitions were presented for the repeal of the House and Window Tax; and Mr, MABBRLEY gave notice, that on an early day he should move for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes ; as did LORD ALTMORPB, of a motion for Tuesday, relative to the better recovery of Small Debts; and Mr. WOL- RYCHB WHITMORR gave notice, for Tuesday, 1st March, of amotion for leave to bring in a Bill amend the Corn Laws. It was resolved, that no private Petition should bo presented alter 8th March; no private Bills to reud a first time after 21st March ; and no report on private Bills be received after SOth May, . tAjO nfyAY. ; CdvRT « o. fe> we'll, Ft B 4 — fadphs .

But this had not its full effect, as the individuals forcibly expelled fiom different parts of the house could testify. This luru out system had the desired effect, aud as the play went on, the interruption was cleared off; the house exhibited the meagre appearance of empty benches till the period of half- price. Upwards of 30 persons, men and women, were last week upset in a large boat, crossing a small river in the county of Fermanagh, Ireland, all of bom unfortunately perished. BANKRUPT, FEB.

Mr. Alderman H.

( Hear, heac, and some laughter.) . . , After some other unimportant business, the House djourned. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.— The Lord Chan- cellor staled in the House of Lords on l^ hnrsday evening, " that at the close of the hist Session jhe had given notice of a motion to regulate a system which was now going on to a mo<^ mischievous extent— he meant Joint Stock Companies;, some of which were not yet formed, and which never might be formed, and where, before their formation takes place, the shares of the persons adventuring therein were made the subjects of sale, to the enormous profit and advantage of those who set such com- panies afloat. It was bis intention to ask their Lordships to consent to a bill to check that sort of proceeding. He mentioned the subject on the first day of the meeting of Parliament, because he intended that the operation of the bill should affect all sales of interest on shares in those companies which might be proposed to be established, but not yet formed, from and after the first day of the present Session "— We leain, from the letter of our Private Correspondent, that, in the House of Lords, this evening, his Lordship said, 41 No persons forming any institution ought to he allowed to vend shares and assign them over to A, By or C, at a certainty ot making money by the sale, until such institution had received the King's Charter, or was sanctioned bv an Act of Parliament^"' ^ W^- sbould feel pleasure in gratifying1 the wishes of the fair writer of " THE VALE OF DOL'JELLY," by inserting the poem, if the sentiments it contains were equalled by the versification. We suspect that 44 HARK AWAY!" is not only% an' original,-' but also an 44 OLD original." If memory does not fail us, we liave seen it, or something very, similar, in print many years ago.--- At any rate, our Correspondent's copy does not look like an " original;" perhaps he can satisfy us on the point. We have received an account of a fight, " on Monday, the ult. at a village near Bishop's Castle, between Jack Tar and Billy Putty,"- tiie result of which is thus wound up :— 44 After- a, contest of owe hour and twenty minutes, Frank Bool declared Jack Tar the victor." The letter purports to bear thfe'signature of a~ n? spectabie inhabitaut of Bishop's C'- astle; but as we are neither sure that the letter is genuine, nor that such important per- sonages as 44 Jaek Tar" - aud•''""' Billy' 1 Puttywith . t^ © ir- respective seconds, 44 Ralpo" and '' Frank ' Bool, are in the land of the living, we must decline entering" into particulars. gt^ r* The Meteorological Journals, kc. next week.

THE PARLIAMENT..— The proceedings with which the Session of Parliament has commenced must afford unmixed gratification to every con- siderate and loyal Protestant -— The pleasing view of the state of the country in both its domestic and foreign relations— in its trade aud commerce — and in its finances—: is • a proud monument of public faith and national strength.— No measures could be more acceptable than those about to be adopted by the Government— the remission of taxation— and the suppression of the Popish Par- liament in Ireland:- the one is due to the constancy and loyalty of His Majesty's subjects under trying circumstances now happily gone by ; the other is a measure that has been justly earned by the suf- ferings of Protestant Reformers, and the struggles, the forbearance, and the tolerance of their descend- ants for lieaily three centuries, and whose feelings demand that the Protestant Ascendancy shall not be endangered by a band of political Papists, though they may be backed by the whole of that corn- inunity ( foreign or domestic) which professes the same theological tenets, as well as by all those well known Orators, who seem to delight in gi%' ing encouragement to any scheme that tends lo pro- mote dissension and insubordination. SALMON FISHERIES— In order to set a good example to other Proprietors of Fisheries in ihe Severn, the whole of the putts within the limits of the Duke of Beaufort's manors have been removed. Tlie utility of this highly laudable precautionary measure, must be apparent to every person; and there can be no doubt that, if it were more readily adopted by other proprietors, it would quickly contribute to the improvement of Salmon Fisheries in general.

There are now in Eiigland 07 canals ( not in- cluding tbiise of whirh the length does uol exceed five miles), live exient of which arc 2471 miles; alul Ihesuin expeiidedun these const ructions is estimated at more than ±' 3f), 00' 0,000; and more than 1400 miles of these canals communicate with the grand line betwyeij London am} Liverpool, the extent of this alone ficing 2( it miles and it is connected in ils coiirsc with 45 others, of which the ijniied extents equal 1150 miles. Not one yard of these cairnls existed previoiisly to Ihe year 1755.— Now in F. rance,' n territory Containing 2( 5,700 square French leagues, being quadruple Ihe surface of England, and with a population nearly three times as greal, there are only six canals of the first order, aud about twenty of inferior dimensions, the total length of « hich is 028 miles. A writer iu the Oxford Journal, oil the subject of Rail roads, calculates that lo form a mile of single road 184, tons lfi Crete., of iron will be re. quired, iu the manufacture of which 757 Ions 13 civ is. of coal will be used. lie supposes that lo make all the1 proposed rail roads, there will be re- quired, 8,142,310, tons of coal; and lo . maintain them. 2,3' S3,0, l) 0 Ictus annually. He considers lhat finch a demand for coal must, raise ils price even at I he outset, and lhat it will increase rapidly every year, until the price of steam will cause the charge for carriage to be raised to so high a rale, as lo make the existing channels of conveyance the cheapest. The formation of a Gloucestershire • Insurance Company, is in progress; Ibe capital. to be otic million. Al a meeting ou Tuesday, Shares to the amount of , t' 17f>, 0?

Jn this Company," says Ibe Cheltenham Journal, " shares are already subscribed for to tlie amount of £ 400,000, and it is expected they wilT very shortly be al a preia'ium." - Doctor Rock was a famous quack and adver- tiser iu bis day. His advertisements cost him above a thousand a year, fifty years ago; but the money thus laid util came back lo hiAi with enormous interest, A person told him one day, thai lie wondered w here he found people enough lo take his medicines. " You may soon satisfy yourself oil that point," replied the Doctor, " if you w ill only slaiid al the window a few minutes, aud give me the impartial result of your observa- tions 011 the countenances of ihe passers by.'* He accordingly did so. " Well," said the doctor, " what, do you observe?" » • Why, I see a great many stupid faces, a gre. it many foolish ones, aud here and there a sensible one." " Now then," said the Doctor, " you know my secret, Ihe stupid and foolish take my medicates, ijnd Ibe sensible let them alone." The Funds, as well as Mining shares, are sensibly on tire declines but little done in either during- the last week. A • happy suggestion is I Ill- Own out for the protection of those who may sink under the Mining malady : il is proposed lo reserve out of each project a sum to form a sinking" fund, Willi which lo erect a new hospital near Bedlam, for Iheir reception. An ingeniously constructed shackle, to he placed round the nefts or- legs of horses, was exhibited at Farnham ou Thursday, and appears ciileiilated to check, if not prevent, horse stealing. Tu form it is similar to a strong ring, and made of a metal on • ybich no file^ fliiw, or other. instrument, w ill make tbe least impression, yet of sufficient ductility lo prevent heavy , blows from a large hammer ou an anvil from breaking it. il is fastened tiy a lock of singular construction, deeply iiUbedded in its meial, so as. lo defy the action of any metallic instrument cither lo break . my part of tlie works or to pick il. It varies in weight from a pound lo a pound ami half, and is lined so as lo prevent Ihe hair from being rubbed off, and a horse may wear ItTor six- months without the least injury. .

FRANCIS ALLEN", Clerk. discovered, has been lately broken into near Matlock, in what is called a pipe work, ( viz. an opening or communication of caverns, similar to, those which are shewn to visitors'al Mailock Bath). The roof, sides, and bottom are, covered with Ihe idlest* galena. Il is visited by all Ihe miners iti Ihe county, and one professional gentleman bftered 10,000 guineas for Ihe ore in sight! Thursday last, James Lestar,' the youngest of the three iads who were lately apprehended for robbing a merchant's shop in Sanquhar, effected his escape from the Bridewell attached lo the jail here, in a manner that rivals ihe exploits of the famous Baron ' t'reuck. First, he burst open by main force the door of his night or sleeping cell, and having thus found access to one' of tiie dav rooms, he squeezed his body through tbe - iron, liar's of a grating scarcely four and a half inches wide, and descended head or feet foremost— naked: o. r oyered, into the chapel, or central part of the building— a height of about 12 or 13 feet. " As silence was a necessary part of his plan, he took especial care to'light, on a blanket which he had previously dropped into the area below, and then ascending the pulpit stair, he. attached the blanket to a slender cord used for pulling: down the window, lowered the siisli, cliiiibed to tiie top, toJSed - this enrd and its appendage to the outside, and partly hy trusting to the slender support thus afforded hi: n, and partly b'y pressing has knees against the wall, landed on a stair- case two .. goodiv stories beneath. Still be was within " the four walls" of the prison, and bis next exploit was to ascend the siair that leads to the street, and which i. strongly secufed by two doors— the one of iron and fhe otfi'er of wood, driven full of . ponderous nails. Ttie ffrst is surmounted by a revolving chevnuxjle frire, and here again he made i) n excellent use of his, blanket, by wrapping it round the said ugly- looking-' ma- chine iu such a manner, as to sheath' its spikes and impede its motion. This done he vaulted nimbly to the top, and by some means which we cannot comprehend, puised himself upon an axle of rusty spears which seems liable to he put in motion by the weight of a feather, lint still his task Ws incomplete. Aluive the lintel of the outer dour, and at least four and a half feet'higher than the iron guard of the inner one ( even eoHuting- per- pendicularly), a row of pikes are inserted iu the wall, iu a slanting direction, . and one of . these it was necessary t. » seiy. e before he could reach- ihe lop of a parapet,, still several feet pvcrhead iBut he, who had done so much, was willing and nbie to essay more; another spring, and. the . pike was seized- another pull, and exertion. of the muscles, and he was fairly on the summit uf. tlte prisdn wall, from which the descent, though eleven or twelve feet, is, by means of a lamp. post, c,. mpai; i » tiv, ely easy. And all this he accomplished. The pike, he hung by is strongly bout, while the wall, at,: the side bears strong marks of the pressure of his feet e; id knees; and, indeed, the wonder is, tllat he was not impaled on the. eberaux- rlr ' rise, - or d . shed to pieces on the'granitp stair below.

In childhood's bloom, how eft have I, when grief Bow'd my young heart, as rain drops bow a flower, LisSteuM to thy wild notes and felt relief, And thought the while that some superior power- house gentle spirit in thy bosom dwelt, Who wept at hum. au woe, and when it rose Would wake thy chords to tones of power, to melt And calm the swelling passion to repose.

M'Adum Rate breaking. ingots in the street, But when they ran to share the treat, They found it all a sad hum. In these Dorado days we seem Reso. lvM to realize the dream ; For highways, hedges, ditches, Proffer me gold at every turn, And ail my kind acquaintance burn To smother me with riches. Early or late, where'er I rove, I; n park or squares,' suburban grove, In civic lanes or alleys, Riches are hawk'd, while rivals rush To pour into mine ear a gush O f money - ma king sal lies. Haste instantly amlivuy, Cries on © ,' Real Del Monte shares,. for none Will yield a richer profit; Another cries— No mining plan Like ours— the Anglo- Mexican ; As for Del Monte, scoff it. This grasps my button, and declares There's nothing like Columbian shares,* The capital a million ; — That cries, La Plata's sure to pay, Or bids me buy without delay Hibernian or Brazilian. ' Scaped from these torments of the Mine'/ Rivals in Gas, an endless line, Arrest me as I travel ; Each sure my suffrage- to receive/ If I will only give him leave His project to unravel. By Fire and Life Insurers next I'm intercepted, pester'd, vex'd, Almost beyond endurance ; And though ihe schemes appear unsoundy Their advocates are seldom found Deficient in assurance, l. ast I am worried shares to buy In the Canadian.

The Catholic Gentle- men ' who were present, furnished his Grace with a opportunity to try the real merits of the case, for the published, and authenticated with their signatures, Statement,, which if not strictly true, is obviously a libel yet his ' Grace has not called its accuracy into question." Two Resolutions, passed at Loughrca, after th Archbishop of Tuam left the Chair, to which Mr Eneas M'Donnell is supposed to allude, as the state rnent published and authenticated by the signature!* of the Catholic Gentlemen who were present at the Meeting: — Resolution moved hy Daniel M'Mevin, F, sq. aud seconded by Robert D'Arey, Esq. of VVoodville. « That the" Protestant Archbishop of Tuam' having taken the, Chair, two Protestant Clergymen delivered their sen tirrtefits, and were heard with great attention by the ' meeting. But the' Rev. Mr. - Daly/ a; Roman Catholic Clergyman, having, presented himself to the meeting, the Archbishop declared that, he came predetermined- not hear him; and Mr. Guthrie, a Protestant Gentleman, having then presented himself, the Archbishop declared he would not hear him or any other person who " was not a member of the Bible Society > and by his orders and example, procured many of the members of the Bible Society to keep up a most indecent clamour, for the avowed purpose of stifling the voice of any persons who might differ in sentiments with the Archbishop; and length his conduct having become'so outrageous, even the op in'on of Ids party, that a very general call was heard to appoint another Chairman, Upon which he declared he would remain there for a month to carry his own object into effect; but after a considerable' time, occupied clamour, excited by himself, he vacated the chair,- a left the meeting-, wherefore we- viewed with disgu:'.. a indignation the arbitrary conduct of the Archbishop." Resolution moved by D. lVPNevin, Esq. and se- conded l y Mathew St. George, Esq. " That we look with indignation and horror at toe in- troduction of a military party of the 10t. li Hussars, into s public assembly of such a nature, with drawn swords, countenanced by the Protestant Archbishop of Tuam, to intimidate, or perhaps to massacre, the Roman Catholic Clergy and Laity who have been insidiously invited to this house by the above circular letter— and who came with a hope of expressing their sentiments, and promoting any national measure calculated to improve the moral and condition of society. And at the same time we cannot withhold from the military our approbation of their peace- able and orderly conduct, notwithstanding the intemper- ance and bad example of the Ai- chbishop." If 3 had conceived that, ana vian living could have believed me capable of outrageous conduct at . a meeting of the Bible Society— and that I could, by my orders and example ( if I were so disposed j, pro. cure many Members of the Bible Society to keep u for protection of the police, ami ( if necessary), that of the milnary ; but, upon the occasion in question, although I received the most offensive and insulting ' language— although S Witnessed the most intemperate . amour and disturbance— although the ladiesaround me betrayed the Utmost timidity and alarm— 5 neither directly nor indirectly, by my order or by my counte- nance^- uor did any one connected with me— intro- icc the military into thai meeting. And here I must observe, that although the Chair in which I had the honour to be placed commanded a full view of the entire loom, I never did, during the whole of the meeting., see one single soldier — which must have been Hie case had he remained . there even three minutes.; and I am informed, b" y authority which I consider uiiquehtioiiahle, that the soldiers were only at the outside of the door, and not longer than a very few minutes; and even with this I was wholly unacquainted until some time'after the meeting — mi lo . this day I am not aware by what authority they made their appearance, even at the door. Mr. Eneas'M'Donnell proceeds: — 44 That his Grace's feelings were strongly excited, from the moment the Rev. P. Tialy made his appearance in the meeting, is not denied; and that his Grace's excitement hag not'subsided, appears by the Answer to the Gentlemen who addressed his Grace in such accents of tender sympa- thy.' which Answer, by the bye, does not indicate a perfect organization of ideas, as it commences —' My Lord and cntle'men f whereas the: e does not appear, upon the little, list of addressers, the name of a single Lord, or of any thing like a Lord." This observation of Mr. Eneas M'Dotmell ' is scarcely Worthy of any remark ; but if a perfect rganiz'aiiou of my ideas depended upon the correct- ness in niy commencing my Answer to the Address om the whole ComoVr'tiee of the " County of Galway Branch of the Bible Society, 4 My Lord and Gentle- men'— that Organization is Complete : there was not only something like the signature of a Lord, but the il signature of a Lord^ to that . Aodicsa.' - Vgain— Mr. Eneas McDonnell :'— 1 The letter of Mr. Daly to his' Grace is not fnore dis- ting- uished in taste and taient, than fb'r its forbearance in declining- any reference to ti'. e following occurrence, in which sotoe persons fancy they can see the germ of his llYaefl.' s unfriendly feejnsg towards the poor > Priest.' 1 have been informed that the: London Tavern .

Gentleman for suci! purposes; and directed that their Truste- e-, his GKiice the Archbishop, of Tuam; should jay that sum ortt of the funds of the- Committee, then lying in his Grace's hands; that his Grace, objected to entrusting the money to the Priest— and threatened to abandon the office of Trustee altogether, if the funds were to be placed in such hands; that the Committee perse- vered, arid repeated their orier in such peremptory terms, as ultimately obliged his Grace to hand over the £ 100 to the Bev. Peter Daly. This little affair is stated to have produced feelings, not of the most kindly or evanescent nature; and is referred to . as, explanatory, to a certain extent, of the unfortunate misunderstanding at Loughrea." Tho forbearance of the Rev. Peter.. Daly, iu declining any reference to the occnrrence which Mr. Eneas M'Dunnel! hereto entirely misrepresents, will learly appear, upon a relation of the. simple state ot the case of this t'K'O- to which he nil mies — w hen, I think,. many persons may trace lhc. ge+ m.' s of the disorderly aiid disgraceful conduct which took place : it Longhrea. iirly in the month of last February, I received a letter from the Secretary to the London Tavern Committee, enclosing me a Bank'of England Post Bill for one hundred pounds—- to he applied, ivit. li my concurrence, to certain objects staled in a letter of the Bev. Peter Daly. After making due inquiry, in a quarter where, I felt certain, I could not he deceived, 5 returned the £. 100' from whence it came — having- fully satisfied myself that it would he a mo* t gross misapplication of the funds of that bene- volent Committee. The Sccretajy, in answer, ac- knowledged the receipt of the money— and observed, that perhaps 1 should be glad to find that he . hud not advised the Reverend Peter Daly. of the remittance. $ oon afterwards 1 received a letter from the Gentle- man who had been agent in Ireland to that Commit- tee, informing me that the money had been '- granted mid announced, aud must, of necessity, be forwarded. Upon:, this I wrote to the Secretary, lhat should that money be forwarded to the Rev. Peter Daly, it was clear to me that, my services could no longer he. useful to that ConiuiiJtee. and that i must in that event beg leave to resign my office, as one of their ustees for the County of Ga'lway. A further letter was written to me by she Gentleman who had been the London Tavern Committee. s Agent in Ireland, urging me to continue in my offices of Treasurer I Trustee, to whom I made the same answer as my last one to the Secretary. About the same time i received a further letter from the Secretary, much to the same purpose., and to which I returned the a me a'nswer. Thus closed alt communication with me upon the subject; anil at this moment I am not aware whether this money was ever sent to the Rev. Peter Daly or not ; but S can safely assert, that it did not go to him through me, nor to my knowledge, nor with my concurrence. u This little affair is sta'ed. to have produced feelings. not of the most kindly or evanescent, nature ; and is referred to as explanatorylo a certain extent, of the unfortunate misuvder'- tariding at Longhrea Mr. Eneas M'Dbnueil thus proceeds:- " It is much to be deplored, that the liberal and cordial intercourse that so happily subsisted among persons of every' religious ' communion in that country, during the long' . Episcopal reign of his gracious predecessor, should have been disturbed. And really, Sir, when we consider the vasf official revenues of His Grace, who has, as I under- stand, very recently refused the offer of £ 27,000, as a renewal for one single lease, it is not unreasonable to expect some forbearance towards the Catholic population, consisting as it does of 4' 9- f) 0ths of the people of the district from which such revenues are obtained; and the more particularly as they do not receive, expect, or desire any professional services from his Grace, in return for sUch publt'c contributions to his wealth." If' I could give satisfactory value in the renewal of a lease under me for £ 30,000,-' i should have no hesitation in refusing to accept for il £ 27,000— and if my property ( which I deny is a public contribution to my ivealih) be ever so large, why should any man living envy me its possession, or betray jealousy on its account, more titan on the account of the large possessions of any layman. My title to my estates, is, ' at least, as good as that of any other man's in the land ; and it is to he presumed, that the expendi- ture of their proceeds in the hands of one whose station requires his residence upon them, will, at least, be as extensive and conscientious for the bene fit of the community as that in the hands of any others— and its disturbance would involve the ruin of numerous families, and the violation of seV'e merits, of marriage'articles, of wills, & c. & c. But, in the case before us, Mr. Eneas McDonnell under, stands'what is not true. I have been Iwenty- three years upon the Episcopal Bench, and I never re- ceived, demanded-, or refused the one- eighth part of £ 27,000, for the renewal of one lease; and there lire many of the most important and valuable leases under the S'- es of Tuam and Ardagh, some of which were not renewed for, snore or less time previous to the death of my predecessor, and not, one of which has ever been renewed by me,- and I would willingly renew any one of them to ' he 25th of this month, for less than one- eighth of £ 27,000. I/ poo a par with this, are the extravagant exag. gerntions, of the possessions of the Clergy of the Established Church, every day industriously circu lated, with no good intent, through every part of the British Empire. The writer further says— " I have; learned that the Very Rev. Br. Trench, of Ballinasloe, has been engaged in distributing arms among a select class in the town and its vicinity. It is much to be desired that tiie Very Reverend Gentlemen should contra- dict this rumour if it be not correct.' My Brother, the Archdeacon of Ardagh, will ( at any iinie that the people in general, or any s'elec class of them, may be. in danger of suffering- in their properties, or their lives, froni any quarter), as far as may be iu his power, and under the authority and sanction of the law, arm and afford them every protection. But I am authorised, in the most unqua- lified manner to contradict the statement which Mr Eneas M'Donnell has learned—- it is wot true. So much for the., honesty of what. Mr. Eneas MkDonnell understands, and learns, and hears, and publishes. — Is this the service for which this Genii man receives a stipend from the voluntary and hearty contributions of the naked, the famishing, the miserable an-. l wretched population of this Country?

SPECULATIONS.— The Editor of the Monthly Magazine warns 44 those who are about to invest, or to pledge, their bond fide capital, in any of these projects, to make use of a little pre. iiutious calculation and inquiry, before fhey give exorbitant premiums-, for mere flourishing pro- peel usses, to those who have, in reality, ad- vanced no capital at all, except what may have been expended in ink and paper for their delusive puffs; nor have placed themselves, in reality, nndei- any necessity of ever advancing any. and who, from the nature of the speculations, are sure to be themselves enriched, though the concerns they have projected should ultimately fall into utter bankruptcy, and involve the real, i. e. the ultimate and permanent subscribers and pro- prietors, in beggary and ruin."

The dispute between the proprietors of cotton- works and their spinners is at last terminated with the unconditional acceptance of the masters' terms. It has lasted 20 weeks, and has occasioned deficiency of yarn to the value of £ 200,000. The spinners in whose cause the dispute, was maintained amount to about 650; Whose weekly wages when employed would reach nearly £ 1,000. Their total loss is " therefore about £ 20,000. But along with these, there were unemployed piercer preparers of cotton, smiths, wrights, and other tradesmen, to the number of nearly 6,000, whose loss cannot be set down at much less than £ 45,000. Here, therefore, is a defalcation in wages of £ 65,000; and if it he. supposed that the persons who incurred this part of the loss contrived to liv- e upon half their usual income, there will still bang over them debts exceeding £ 30,000.— Glasgow Chronicle.

The army submitted its claim, as usual, for the value of the property or booty so taken, to its Sovereign, who was spaciously pleased to grant the whole, to the captors, and to appoint Trustees for carrying the same into effect; but, notwithstanding the exertions made by those ustees to realize the property in question, we arc informed that the Company has as vet only admitted a small portion of the claim, and paid no part of it '•' which delay has led to the unpleasant onsequeuces alluded to in the staterri-' Vs before nentioned, and which must continue to increase until the payment takes place. It is estimated that one- third of these brav^ men arc already dead ; and it is known that great discontent prevails • imong the Sepoys of the Madras army entitled to participate, which would in all probability have led to most unpleasant and serious consequences, ' d they not been informed that the Duke of Wellington ( who is adored by the Madias army, and under whose victorious banners many of the men in question, and their fathers, had served) had ondescended to be their Trustee, owing to which, their spirits and confidence were revived, and they were induced to volunteer cheerfully against the Burmese in the present war, relying that, through him, they would speedily receive their prize money for the campaign of 1817 and 1818 ; and it will be wise on the part of the Directors of the East India Company to cause their expectation to be speedily realized. We understand that most of- the King's Regiments entitled to share in this prize- money ' ave returned to England, and been in part dis- banded, and that men, women, and children, entitled to receive more than half of the whole prize- money, are already in England, most anxi- ously, and in many cases most distressingly, wait- > g for it.

The dresg worn by the Popes, of Rome upon solemn occasions, corresponds with the habits of the Roman Emperors in the lower ages ; and from a representalioa of the portrait of Manuel Palseologus, it appears that there is little difference between the costume of a Greek Emperor in the fifteenth cen- tury, and a Grand Seignior in the nineteenth. The mark of distinction worn upon the head of the Turkish Sultans, and other Grandees of the Em- pire, of which the. calailius was an archetype, is iso another remarkable circumstance in the iden- tity of ancient and modern customs. RATTLESNAKES IN AMERICA.— As people at paitizaus now?

So true is what we have frequently observed on such matters— Occupation only was wanted to with draw from their rambles, all those Roderick Randoms-. Lord Bacon truly remarks, and we have before quoted him on this point, ii to take away the matter of seditions is the surest way to prevent them. The matter of seditions is of two kinds, much poverty aud much discontent. The rebellions of the belly are the worst." That writer adds, as the best means of removing such causes- ' s to open aud well- balance trade— to cherish manufactures— to banish idleness— to moderate taxes, tributes,' and the like." This language speaks for itself. So decidedly is ii the matter of seditions" taken away, so completely are the cause thereof removed, that neither Manchester nor Spafiehls could muster a dozen of its former raging professors ; and if any thing further were wanting to show, in a striking point of view, the con so quences resulting from the revival, and promotion of trade, industry, & c. it might be furnished in the single fact, that a dinner in memory of Paine' birth, heretofore annually held at an inn, in Bishops, gate- street, could not be promised!

Notice respecting 3fr. Brosfer\ s- newly discovered System fyr the Removal of Impediments of Speech aud Defective Articulation. FROM BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE Among ihe numerous calamities to which our nature is incident, there are few so generally ( lis. • tressing as that of defective utterance, whether it appears in the mild form of a hesitation in speech, in the more confirmed stage of continual stammering or in its crisis of muscular contortions. The experience of every person who has mixed much w- ith society," will furnish him with examples of all these varieties of imperfect articulation; but unless they have been observed within the circle of his own friemV, or within the sphere which cir- cumscribes the exercise of his own feelings, he has, perhaps, never reflected on the agonies to which its victim is exposed, or on the heart- breaking anticipa- tions which it excites in all those who are interested in his welfare. To a young man of great talents, of refined wit, and of extensive information, who seems destined to enliven and adoni the circles in which he moves, the occurrence of such a calamity is perhaps the greatest to which Providence, can subject him Conscious of powers which he Cannot exercise, with- out being the object of ridicule, or without giving pain to those who hear him, he resigns himself to the tranquillity of silence; and iu so far as regards the pleasures of social intercourse, he is on a level with those who are utterly destitute of the organs of speech. To those who are destined for public life, for the bar, the pulpit, or the senate, the evils of defective utterance are still more appalling. All the early hopes of. professional success are at once ex- tinguished, and the unfortunate patient either he- comes a burden- to his friends and to himself, or must embark in a new profession, for which, perhaps, neither his talents nor his education have prepared him. When imperfect articulation deforms the female, voice, iis effects are yet more distressing. Under its mildest form, all the enchantments of youth and beauty disappear;— every accomplishment, how- ever great, is thrown into " the shade, and all the hopes. of female ambition are for ever blighted.

Two of these representations took place a few weeks ago, and two or three others paid a fine to the riders of from five to twenty shillings, according to their circumstances. Many attempts have b « eti made to stop the representations ; but as they are always encouraged by a plentiful shower of silver and copper from the, respectable inhabitants, such attempts have been ineffectual.

A new feather- bed was put into a cold and damp- room, and a person incautiously went to sleep in it, without the precaution of having had a fire put in the room during the day, to remove the damp- ness. Scarcely had he been ten minutes in bed, when be fancied he saw light issuing from his eyes; for this supposition he had the best possible reason, as, from the situation of the room, there was not the least cranny or opening at which light could be supposed to enter, the doors and windows being completely shut and fastened. He paid no- attention lo this circumstance at first, thinking it- was the efleet of mere imagination; he had like, studied. In this state of our knowledge on a subject of the ighest importance in society, we were surprised to fiear that Mr. John Broster, of Chester, had dis- covered a method of removing impediments of speech ami defective articulation. Such a discovery we w^ re strongly disposed, along with many others, to rank among those extravagant pretensions, which are so often intruded upon the public; and Mr Bfosfer seems to have been so. sensible of the prevail le'nce of such an opinion, that he appears to have declined making himself known in Edinburgh in any other way than by the cures which he performed. Several cases of a very striking hatuire * oon occurred to shew the success of his method. A personage of rank and fashion, whose defective . utterance had been generally known from constant intercourse with society, i was so completely cured as to excite the astonishment of every person. The celebrity which Mr. Broster acquired by this dire, brought him a number of pupils, some of whom came f yen from London, to receive the benefit of his in- istructions, and the success with which these cases jwere treated, far surpassed even the most sanguine expectations of the individuals themselves. Persons who had almost losT the power of gi ving utterance to particular words, were completely emancipated from ail embarrassment of speech. Others, who could not articulate without contortions of countenance, and other nervous inclinations, were enahled tospoa with ease and fluency ; and one gentleman, who had scarcely ever ventured to breathe a sound before company, was enabled to make a formal speech be fore a large party, who had been assembled by his father to commemorate the almost miraculous cure of his so hi The removal of impediments of speech has always been considered as the work of time and laborious exertion, and those who professed to have studied the subject most deeply, required the constant ot tendance of their pupils for months, and even for years. Mr. Brosier's system, however, is of a very different character. Some of his most striking cures have been performed after a single lesson, and, in general, a few days is all the time that he requires for effecting it. This rapidity of cure, indeed, one of the most valuable features in his system. The hope of a speedy remedy encourages the patient to apply his whole mind to the svstenn and enables the poor, and those. who caunof. quit their professions, to avail themselves of a discovery, which otherwise could have been of no benefit to them Hitherto we have considered this new method a applicable only to the ordinary impediments of j speech; bill we have reason to know that Mr. Broster's'method' embraces a much wider range. He has applied it to the cure of cases of weak articula- tion ; he has, as it were, given the power of. speech to those who are supposed to be labouring under bodily disease, and he actually communicated the power of reading aloud beforecompany, to a venera- ble philosopher, whom a paralytic affection had almost deprived of the power of speech. During our inquiries info the success of Mr. Bros- ter's system, we have had occasion to peruse several of the letters which have been addressed to him by the individuals whom he has cured, and by the parents of those pupils who were unable to express their own gratitude. The respect and affection which these letters breathe, while they shew the value which has been set upon the cure, evince also the kindness and gentleness of the treatment by which it has been effected. Mr. Broster's hu- manity to the poor, and to those whose circumstances do not permit them to prove their gratitude by their liberality, deserves to he especially noticed. We know of cases where he has refused any compen- sation for his trouble ; and we are sure, that in every case where it is necessary, his liberality will be conspicuous. As we are not acquainted with the nature of Mr. Broster's system, we cannot give any opinion of it as a scientific method. We understand, however, that it is as simple as it is efficacious; and that though much depends on the skill and judgment of the person who applies it, yet it. is capable of being successfully practised by those who have been com- pletely instructed in its principles and details. This important discovery 1m hitherto . excited little general curiosity. The interest, which it has called forth has been chiefly local, and confined to the relatives and friends of the persons whom it has benefitted; but, as Mr Broster's pupils increase in numbers— as the remarkable cures which he per- forms become belter known, it cannot fail to excite f hat notice which it so justly merits ; and if its success shall continue to be as great as it has hitherto been, we have no doubt that the Legislature itself will rank Mr. Broster among those public benefactors whose services entitle them to a public remuneration. Umpctial parliament. HOUSE OF LORDS, FEB. 3. This being the day appointed for the opening of Parliament, at half past two the Lord Chancellor took his seat on the woolsack. The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Can- terbury, and the Earls of Harrow by, Shaftesbury, and Westmorland. The Commons appeared at the Bar with the Speaker at their head ; and the Lord Chancellor informed them that His Ma- jesty had thought proper to issue hrs Commission under the Great Seal for opening the Session of Parliament. he Clerk then read the Commission; after which the LORD CHANCELLOR deli- vered the following Speech My Lords, and Gentlemen, We are commanded bv His Majesty to express to you the gratification which His Majesty derives from the continuance and progressive increase of that public prosperity upon which His Majesty congratulated you at the opening of the last ses- sion of Parliament. There never was a period in the history of this country, when all the great interests of the natioH were at the same. time in so thriving a condition, or when a feeling of content and satisfaction was move widely diffused through all classes of the British people. It is no Small addition to the gratification of His Majesty, that Ireland is participating in the general prosperity. The outrages, for the suppres- sion of which extraordinary powers were confided to his Majesty, have so far ceased as to warrant the suspension of the excrcise of those powers iu most of the districts heretofore disturbed. Industry and commercial enterprise are ext'en'tf- ing themselves in that part of the United Kingdom. Il is therefore the more to be regretted that Associ- ations should exist in Ireland, which have adopted proceedings irreconcileabte with the spirit of the Constitution, and calculated, by exciting alarm, and by exasperating animosities, to endanger the peace of society, and lo retard the course of national improvement. His Majesty relies upon your wisdom to Consi- der, without delay, the means of applying a remedy to this evil. His Majesty further rccommcnds the renewal of the inquiries instituted last session into the state of Ireland. His MajeMy has seen with regret the interruption > f tranquillity in India", by the unprovoked aggres- sion and extravagant pretensions of the Burmese Government, which rendered hostile operations against that State Unavoidable. it is, however, satisfactory . to find that none of the other Native Powers have manifested any un- friendly ' disposition, and that the brnvery and conduct displayed by the forces id ready employed against the enemy afford the most favowrabte prospect of a successful termination of the contest. Gentlemen of the House of Commons, His Majesty has directed us to inform you, that the estimates of the year will be forthwith laid before you. The state of India, and circumstances connected with other parts of His Majesty's foreign posses- sions, will render some augmentation in His mili- tary establishments indispensable. His Majesty has, However, the sincere gratifica- tion of believing, that, notwithstanding the increase of expense arising out of this augmentation, such is the flourishing condition and progressive im- provement of the revenue, that it will still be in your power, without affecting public credit, to give additional facilities to the national, industry,, aud io make a forthei reduction in the burthens of his people. My Lords, and Gentlemen, His Majesty commands us to inform you, thai His Majesty continues to receive from His Allies, and generally from all Princes and States, assur- ances of their unabated desire to maintain and cultivate ihe relations of peace with His Majesty, and with each othery and that it is His Majesty's constant endeavour to preserve the general tran- quillity. The negotiations which have been so long car- ried on through His Majesty's Ambassador at Con- stantinople, between the Emperor of Russia abd the Ottoman Porte, have been brought to- an amica- ble issue.. His Majesty has directed to be laid before yon. copies of arrangements which have been entered into with the Kingdoms of Denmark and Hanover, for improving the commercial intercourse between those. States and the United Kingdom. A treaty, having for its object the more effectual suppression of the Slave Trade, has been concluded between His Majesty and the King of Sweden ; a copy of which treaty ( as soon as the ratifications thereof shah have been exchanged) His Majesty has directed to be laid before you. Some difficulties have arisen with respect to the ratification of the treaty for Ihe same object which was negociated last yea. between His Majesty and the United States of America. These difficulties, however, His Majesty trusts, will not finally impede the conclusion of so bene- ficial an arrangement. In conformity with the declarations which have been repeatedly made by His Majesty, His Majesty has taken measures for confirming by treaties the commercial relations already subsisting between this Kingdom and those Countries of America which appear to have established their separation from Spain. So soon as these treaties shall be completed, His Majesty will direct copies of them to be laid before you. His Majesty commands us not to conclude without congratulating you upon the continued improvement in the state, of the Agricultural In- terest, the solid foundation of our national pro- sperity ; nor without informing yon, that evident advantage has been derived from the relief which you have recently given to Commerce by the removal of inconvenient restrictions. His Majesty recommends to you to persevere ( as circumstances may allow) in the removal of similar restrictions; and His Majesty < lireefs us to assure you, that you may r;.! y upon His Majesty's cordial co- operation iti fostering and extending that Com- merce, which, whilst it is, under the blessing of Providence, • a main source of strength and power to this country, contributes in no less a degree lo the happiness and civilization of mankind. As soon as his Lordship had concluded, he bowed to the Commons, and they re- tired from the Bar. We regret to announce that official intelligence has been received of the lamented death of the Honourable the Archdeacon of Ceylon, by dysentery, followed by a severe attack of fever, whilst on a clerical tour, at Hambantotte, on the 15th of August last. Dr. Twisleton had for many years most ably and conscientiously fulfilled the duties of Sitting Magistrate at Colombo, and Senior Colonial Chaplain on that station; and was, in 1815, by his Majesty's gracious favour, appointed Arch- deacon gf the island, as a mark of approbation for his services. He was the second and only brother of the Right Hon. Baron Save and Scle. Printed 2$ published by W. <?•./. Eddowe*, Corn- markef, Shrewsbury, lo whom Advertisements or Articles of .
