DR. JAMES'S POWDER. npHE Celebrity of this Medicine, an< t M. its decided Efficacy, is more tha'n ever estab- lished, bv the greatly increased Introduction o. it into the Prescriptions of the most eminent Physicians, at the present Tithe. For the Guidance of those Persons who are out of the reach of Medical Advice, each Packet is enclosed with full Directions for its Use. In Cases of Fever it will often effect a Cure in a few Hours, especially when freely given, and at the Outset of the Disease. It is administered with equal Success in all Attacks of Measles, St. Anthony' ® Fire, Sore Throat, Pleurisy, and Rheumatism ; but as Colds and Cat5j. r| hs partake more or less of Inflame matory Symptoms, this Powder is peculiarly tflicn- cions iu cutting short their Duration ; which, how- ever harmless they may he thought, often terminate, in Pulmonary Affections, the fatal Consequences of which are but too well known. As an Alterative in Chronic Complaints, it is used with peculiar Success. Dr. JAMES'S Powder continues to he prepared hy Messrs.

In fhe Bouse of Commons on Wednesday, in presenting* a petition, Mr. BROUGHAM took occasion lo express his regret at the fate ot' ill^ Relief/ nil in the Lords, which lie said must prove a bitter disap- pointment to Ireland. Sir THOMAS LE « THBRIDGE, on the contrary, said he heartily rejoiced at the le- sult. lii the House of Commons, on Thursday, the Report of the Bill- for modifying the Quarantine Laws being brought up, Sir ISAAC COFFIN adduced fresh proofs of the contagions nature of the plague, juid gave reasons which would be of sufficient Strength tfrconvince the most incredulous,, if there was nothing but ' incredulity in the casfe. He also ine- ulioned the disadvantages to which it exposed tVur'conitr. erc © in foreign countries , and that port of his speech was confirmed '- y the statenjeut of Lord BELG'RAVE, whdsaid, that our opinion ou the sub ject had already readied Marseilles,- Leghorn, and other ports, and the consequences were likely to prove most prejudicial to our Trade." — Mr. C. GRANT said, thai in the present Bill no relief was proposed that had not the sanction of medical men iyho were decided contagionisis the utmost importance, it was a subject on which an ill- considered step might be productive of terrific results, and nothing should be hazarded that would incur the most remote possibility of danger. It was a subject he thought on which every inquiry would be expedient. It was a question which must be left to work its own way, and no attempt should be . made to lead the public mind. The Legislature should wait for the unanimity of opinion which could only be hoped for from ihe general prevalence of just views. lu ihe Mouse of Commons, last night, the Jury Laws Bill was re- committed^ in order that it might Undergo some verbal amendments. This important and excellent, measure is now completed. The principal change made in it since it as printed, relates to the qualifications. of Jurors. Landholde assessed at £ 20, or persons possessing personal property to the amount of £ 40'), are now competent to serve on Juries. Several absurdities and anoma- lies of the statute law are repealed ; and the whole System rendered as perfect as possible. No Minister of England ever performed a greater service to his country than Mr PEEL has in this instance. M SCARLETT and Mr. BROUGHAM warmly expressed their commendations of the Bill, and their sense of the laborious exertions'of the Right Hon. Secretary in maturing it. The subject of the Judges' Salaries afterwards came before the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER suited, that on further cousiderat he was disposed to decease the salaries ofthe Puisne Judges to £ 5,500, in Order lhat their retiring p< sion might be raised from £ 2,; 300 to £ 2,800 — Willi respect to fhe promotion of Puisne Judges, the Right Honourable Gentleman observed, that though nothing could be more unconstitutional than to hold it out as the reward of political services,\ et it would be wrong to deptive the Crown absolutely of the power of promotion. Mr. BROUGHAM, in a long und very lively speech, proposed a resolution declaratory of the impropriety of promoting Puisne Judges to the highest seats on the Bench he also objected to the proposed salary of £ 6,000 a year as far too liberal, and suggested the necessity of re ducing- it to £ 5,000 ; but it. was negatived by a majority of 83, the numbers being— against it 112, and in its favour only 29. It was reported by a Select Committee, that Robert P > er French Pilkington' had confessed himself to be the author of, a forged petition presented to tbe blouse, and purporting to come from' certain Pro. testant inhabitants of Balinasioe in favour of the Catholics ; and after some conversation. the offender was directed to be taken into custody by the Serjeant at Arms for examination at the bar. Mr BROUGHAM gave, notice of his intention to bring inn Bill'for incorporating a University in the metropolis. POSTSCRIPT. Los DON, Monday A'ight, May 23, 1825.

The colo- nists appear anxious to participate iu the sports of the mother country, as we perceive a subscription has been raised among them for procuring a supply of live game from England.— Measures were taken to improve the breed of horses in the colony, which bad very much degenerated owing to the want of means for preventing their ranging at large and intermixing with the wild horses of tbe colony A great scarcity of hemp and flax existed in Van Diemen's Laud, that article being at the exorbitant price of 25 shillings per lb. — A11 extraordinary number of small colonial craft had been employed in taking seals at the Small Island, in the straits which divide Van Diemen'S Land from New South Wales, aud had been very successful.— The New Supreme Court of Van Diemen's Land held it: Sittings regularly, but appears to use extraordinary c. uinspection iu making its decisions. In a case of Crim. Con. in which a Mr. Lord was plaintiff and Mr. Rowcroft defendant, the Court had been oceu pied for more than a fortnight, when it was decided by a verdict in favour of the plaintiff with £ 100 damages. We are not presented with the evidence of this case, which forms so curious an event in the history of legal proceedings; but it is stated, that ( Turing its progress, the Chief Justice and the Bar repeatedly sat 8, 10, and 14 hours without adjourn- ing for the purpose of refreshment. TIIE WELSH BAR^ S.— This morning the Eis- teddvod, or Meeting of Welsh Bards and Minstrels, was held at the Freemasons' Hall, which was crowd ed with an assemblage of rank, beauty, and fashion. The glees, choruss< s, and songs, were executed with exquisite taste, and gave much delight to the com- pany. Master Parry's song, Adieu fo the Colt aye, was rapturously cheered, as was Tati. es siti^ s Pro- pl/ ecy, by Mr. Atkins, the words by Mrs. He minis. At Ihe conclusion of the first part, the medals and premiums awarded hy the. Society were distributed lo the successful candidates for the several prizes. — Among the company present, were noticed Lord ami Lady Olive, Lord Kenyou and Hon. Misses Kenyon, Sir C. Morgan, & c. On Monday, Mr. Canning laid on the table of the House of Commons three treaties— one with Rossi a, settling the disputed claims which existed bet ween this country and Russia, wilh regard to ccifain rights of trade and navigation in the Paci- fic. The second! between England and Swe providing for the more effectual suppression of lb Slave Trade,- bv a mutual concession of the right of search and detention, The third, a treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation, concluded be ( ween his Majesty • atrd the. Suited Provinces of Rio do la Plata —- Mr. Canning at the same lim< announced that the negoci. nlion for. a treaty with tbe United States, similar to that concluded with Sweden, has been broken off, the new President having refused to accede to it. The debate of Tuesday night, in the Upper House, was the most animated witnessed for many sessions. The doors were besieged from an early hour io the forenoon, and, when opened at half past four, the rush for admission was tremendous. The Duke of Norfolk, Lords Sfourton and Clifford, were scaled in-'. front of the throne. Among the crowd below the bar, Mr. O'Connell stood conspicuous in front, with a Roman i at'hidic Prelate near him. Immediately after the division, on Wednesday morning, the Duke of Sussex proceeded to the 41 dissentient book," and entered his name against the decision on Ihe bill which had just been come to by the House His example was followed by Lords' Jersey, Holland, Eilenborougby Spencer, King, Nuffield, Minto, and Mendip. MY. Huskisson's Customs Consolidation Bill, noiv in progress through the House of Commons, will repeal no less than 465 Acts of Parliament, The inhabitants of the extensive and highly respectable parish of Clerkemvell held a public HTseting, yesterday, when au Address of Thanks to bis Royal Highness the Duke of York, 44 for the manly, seasonable, and auspicious support given by his Royal Highness to the Protestant Con- stitution- of these Realms," was adopted. A Conge ( VEtire has passed the Great Seal, empowering the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury to elect a Bishop of that See; and the King has been pleased fo recommend fhe Right Rev. Father in God Dr. Thomas Burgess, Lord Bishop of St. David's, to be by them so elected.— Gazette. The French papers of Tuesday confirm the news of the successof the Greeks at Navarino. The Duchess of Northumberland was, on Sun- day se'iinighf, presented to the Daophiuess, the King of France, aud the Dauphin, with great ceremony. Private advices from Paris communicate various details respecting the fetes and rejoicings which are preparing in honour of ihe approaching Coro- nation. The extraordinary Ambassadors from the Great Powers of Europe, have all arrived, aud are emulating each other in the splendour and mag- nificence of their appointments. Bis Grace the Duke of Northumberland is already considered as the one who will outvie all the rest. The renown of the English name will be worthily sustained during these festive scenes. BRITISH CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.— A Ge- neral Meeting of the Association was held this day, nl fhe Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand. The Gentlemen of the Irish Catholic Association were present. His Grace ihe Duke of Norfolk was in the Chair. Lord dc Clifford moved a resolution, " that the splendid eloquence and laborious exer- tions wilh which the principles of religious liberty bad been maintained in the House of Commons, demanded from them their warmest thanks to those who had thus ably and nobly come forward and advocated their cause,'" This was seconded by the Hon. E, Pet re, and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the Bishop of Norwich was likewise passed, as was a resolution that a Petition, at the commencement of the next Session, be presented to Parliament for the restoration of their rights.

SHREWSBURY HOUSE OF INDUSTRY.— On Wednesday last, a numerous assembly of the Guardians who supportedthe late proceedings for a Repeal af tbe Act of Incorporation, took place at the House.— A report of the business of the day- will be found in our subsequent columns. The recent rejection of the Catholic Relief Bi I has', we believe, given much satisfaction lo the gieat majority of the People.— It appears, how- ever, that the Question is again to he agitated as soon as possible. The Drawing Room is again postponed utili! Thursday, June 9. SHREWSBURY SHOW.— We are informed lhat several of the Chartered Companies have determiu ed to support this scene of mirth aud gaiety, on Monday, the 6th of June, with proper spirit. The Chester Courant of yesterday „ lates lhat Thomas Hughes, who was apprehended on suspi- cion of stealing a pocket- book from the person of David Reynon, at ihe Blossoms Inn, in lhat cily ( see 4th page), was discharged on Wednesday. Coinmitted to our County'Gaol, John Morris, John Clemson, William Revitt, and John Rcvitl, charged vvilh having, on tbe 16th day of May, in the parish of Shiffnal, assembled in a' tumultuous manner, and made an affray, wherein the person of William Richards was beaten- and abused, of which injuries he is since dead. We are informed that, on Thursday night last, between II aud 12 o'clock, a poor man from Bridgnorth, in a stute of intoxication, fell from a height of 14 feet,- into the river Severn, near ( lie Welsh Bridge, where there was only 18 inches depth of water, and, iu consequence of Ihe water being so shallow, received a violent contusion on the right temple : he struggled for a considerable length of time, but, in consequence of his ex- treme state of intoxication and the injury he re- ceived hy ihe fall, was eventually overpowered and borne by the current a considerable distance doivn the river; and had it not been for the exertion and presence of mind of Mr. Davies, of Frankwell, he must have inevitably perished, as a quarter of an hour elapsed from the time he fell in until he was removed from the water.— A gentleman who assist- ed Mr. Davies, ran to Mr. Whitney, Secretary of Ihe Humane Society, who immediately attended, and had the body conveyed lo the watch house, where, by the application of tiie means recommend- ed by Ihe Royal Humane Society, the man was restored to sensibility iu little more than half an hour. A placard was a few days ago exhibited al one of tlie Bath coach offices, to Ihe following effect: — Fares to Cheltenham, inside, 5s.; outside, 2s. ( id " or any sum the Public please .'"

Oil Thursday last, a Poll took place in the Abbey Parish, in this town, for the situation of Perpetual Overseer.— The candidates wJre' Mr. Richard White and Mr. Rotif jt Powis; the former of whom was elected by a majority of 100 lo 74. In presenting Ibe Petition of ihe English Catholics tothe House of Lords, IVUHGRKY is reported to have said, that " no petition bad been presented against the Catholic Relief Bill from any great town, from which a petition was not also presented on Ihe other side; and lhat every public meeting ended iu a division in its favour;"— ou which ac- counts, and particularly on account of the decision of Ihe Uonse of Conunoin, on the eve of a general election, be concUidetl there was no strong feeling ill the country against the measure.— If this repen t of his Lordship's observations be correct, the public must regret the want of information, or rather the misinfoimation, upon which his Lordship must have founded bis opinions. At Epsom Races, ou Thursday, the Derby Slakes of 50 sovereigns each was won by Lord Jersey's ch. c. by Phantom, out of Web; Rnfus came in second. Eighteen horses started Nigel was drawn.

SALMON FISHERY BILL.— The further con. sideratton of this Bill in Ihe House of Commons, lias been adjourned for three months. This mea- sure was adopted, in order to give lime for fur- ther information, as an opinion prevails, that the same fence mouths will not apply generally to the kingdom at large, from Ihe various seasons at which new fish appear, or begin to run, at different fisheries, remote from each other. It will readily be seen, thai, should this prove to be the case, no general law, as tothe fence season, can be rendered applicable to the evils sought to be remedied ; and if, il he attempted to regulate contiguous . heries by different laws, it w ill be loially impossible - to pre vent the sale of salmon at all times throughout Ihe year— a custom which has been so long and so justly complained of. To lite Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, I remember to have seen, some few years since, in your Journal, a Somersetshire plan for destroy- ing insects on fruit trees; which seemed well adapted to operate on large and regularly planted orchards. As, however, it did not equally suit the situation of my trees, widely scattered over a lawn and gardens, I endeavoured to contrive such a modification of it as would answer tbe latter pur- nose; and, I think, with tolerable success. I shall 111) both plans before you, and leave your renders to judge. The original process was to collect and place at proper distances, windward of the infested groups, heaps of light litter, sprinkled with sul- phur, and sufficiently moistened to produce a sow- thering smoke, when lighted. This was done when a brisk breeze sprung up; but as the heaps were stationary, how could the wished. for effects conti- nue, should any ohaugre of wind, either in force or direction, take place? Musing oil this serious imperfection, I accidentally espied a small wooden pigtrongh lying out of use in my farm- yard. This was fastened on the prongs of a pikel or pitchfork, then filled with litter, tee. as already mentioned, lighted, aud borne by hand tinder each individual tree. By moving it up or down, backwards or forwards, aud right or left, as circumstances re- quired, th'.' bearer was enabled to envelope sue cessivelv every bough and branchlet with the deadly fume; and it was curious to observe the black clouds of descending flies, which almost darkened the air, and reminded me, though- on a scale somewhat humbler, of the fallen angels in Milton. It has, [ ydeetl, been said, that many of the insects, thus stupified for the moment, will again revive, as suffocated bees sometimes do, when not carefully buried ( asecuritv beyond our reach in the present instance), nor can it lie denied that there is some truth in the assertion. But the smne objec- tions might with equal justice he raised against the ceb'brated vermin- killing remedies against snails, slugs, field mice, and turnip flies ; none of which have ever yet destroyed one- half of their destined victims. 1 had hitherto forborne the use of the fumigation this season, in hope that the late severe rains bad effectually washed away all traces of the kind. But some late appearances on thepearand apple trees have convinced - me of the contrary; and I sincerely recommend the immediate applica- tion of this most valuable and simple remedy to all my neighbours.

Lately, at Corwen, Mrs. Lloyd, aged 81, and for / Upwards of 50 years housekeeper to Col. Vaughau, of Riig, in the county of Merioneth. On the 16th of April last, at Denbigh, and was buried at Henllan, Mr. Hugh Jones, formerly of Maes- y- glaseu^ in the county of Merioneth, in the ? 5th j ear of his age. He might j ustly'be deimmi-. nated a literary character ; for, from his childhood up to the advanced age which he attained, addicted himself with incessant application to the study of books. At one time, his parents intended to bring him up to the church, and he was actually sent to a seminary for that, purpose ; but he, think ing that too great a restraint on his innate inclina- tions, abandoned it. Several lucrative situations were offered him sit different periods*,, but he declined all- it; order to enjoy his favourite pursuits, and avoid the hustle of the world,, which he was peculiarly averse to. In his youth, he was an . ardent votary of the Muse, and made a considerable" - display of poetieal talent, so much so that blo whole neighbourhood rang again with his stanzas, many of which rim. on the tongue of the inhabitants to this time, lie also evinced a degree of aptitude to suit his compositions to the taste of his day, when those of the dramatic style were so much . in vogue in the Principality. In Psalmody also, he was adept. But the chief part of his time was spent in the publication of different Treatises in the Welsh Language, chiefly in Divinity, some of his own compilation, and others translated from the Enw iish. To crown bis labours, he completed a translation of Joseph us into Welsh, which was one of the most elaborate translations in the language, and was published some six or seven years ago Since that, he completed a translation of Buchan's Domestic Medicine. He also commenced translating Matthew Henry's Commentary, and proceeded as far as Leviticus, when, owing to the enormity of the undertaking, and his then advancing years, he was induced to relinquish it. He had in hand translation of Walls's World to Com* 1, when death came to put a termination to his labours. The Lord Bishop of St. David's has conferred upon the Rev.

Mr. of the Williams then read the Minutes, as follows " Saturday, 30th April, 1825, " At a Meeting held at Lord Clive's House, iu Grafton- street ; present, Lord Clive in the Chair, Lord Hill, Lord Forester, Sir Rowland Hill, Hon. H. G. Bennet, Hon. T. Kenyon, J. 0. Pelham, W. L. Childe, Panton Corbett, B Benyon, and J. A. LLoyd, Esqrs. Mr. Watton, Mr. Young, Mr Salt, and Mr. Williams— " Lord Clive opened the Meeting by stating the ' Object to be, that some Arrangement should take Plane between the Parties with a View to an ami- cable Termination, by bringing into Parliament Such a Bill as would meet the Wishes of the Pro- moters and Opposers of the Measure ; and after Observations from Mr. Beunet, Mr. Pelham, and Mr. Benyon,— the Hon. Mr. Konyon rose and pro- posed his several Resolutions, viz. '' resent Act to he tepealed. " Questions of Settlements to be referred to three Gentlemen perfectly unconnected with the present Question. " Out. Poor to be maintained at their respective Parishes. " In- Poor at the House at so much per Head, according lo the Number from each Parish actually in the House. " Present House to be sold, and two new ones bought without the Liberties of the Street Act. " T. K." " These Resolutions were put singly, and each • bserved upon; and Lord Clive also took down and shaped them in a different Manner, viz. " That mi Investigation of the disputed Settle- ment Cases of tin- Paupers iu Shrewsbury United District is desirable by Persons uncon- nected wilh the Opponents or the Promoters of the present Bill. " That the present Bill be withdrawn. " That a Bill he introduced in 1826. " That this Bill embrace in its Provisions Power to arrange for the Out- Poor being paid by Parochial Officers. " Expense of In- Poor being paid by weekly Averages of the Expenditure ol'the Establish- ment. " To avail themselves of the Provisions of Mr. S. Bourne's Acl and of Mr Gilbert's Act. " To audit Accounts annually. " To obtain a less expensive Poor- House than the present one. " But Mr. Kenvon's were the Proposals com- mented upon by Mr. Beimel, and also the other Parties.— Mr. Watton was ur^ ed strongly to sign the Prop . sals hy most of the Gentlemen; but he eventually declined doing so, on the Ground that one of Lord d ive's Stipulations was that the Bill should lie withdrawn this present Session, See. & c. . Mr. Salt asked if he was to consider that as a final Answer on our Parts! to which Mr. Wattou and S replied, Certainly not, as vie wished it to stand open until we saw the Hon. Mr. Jenkinson, who was expected in London. Mr. Kenyon also in. formed Mr. Salt it was to stand open, as it did not appear that Air. Watton had sufficient Authority as Representative of the Committee, until he saw Mr. Jenkiiisou. " On Monday, the 2d. ofMay, Mr. Jenkinson saw Mr Walton aud me, at his House in Upper. Grosveuor street, when we shewed him the Pro- posals of Mr. Kenyon and Lord Clite ( which latter were merely his Lordship's way of putting Mr. Kenyou's, when that Gentleman stated them to the Meeting), and he highly approved of Mr. Watton having refused to sign them, and lie determined that the Second Reading should proceed ; but con- sented to see Mr. Kenyan oo the subject, to whose Lodgings lie went. Mr. Kenyon stated to Mr. Jenkinson what had passed at the Meeting Saturday, it was then agreed that Mr. Keuyon should again go to Lord Clive, and endeavour to gel his Lordship to consent that the subject should go into llie Committee for Investigation at this Time. Mr. Kenyan went there, and was kept there about three hours. Mr. J. A. LLoyd was sent for, aud Mr. Robert Clive went in. Mr. Kenyon came out aud accompanied us to Mr. Jenkinson' when he stated what took place ;— that Lord Clive was ready to sign Ins Proposals until Mr. J. A LLovd came in, who induced his Lordship to re fuse'his Signature ; he also stated that Mr Robert Clive was quite of bis ( Mr. Kenyou's) Opinions, and urged his Brother to accede to the Proposals ; — and that it was right and proper that the Ques- tion should go before the Committee. It was now Half pisi Three, wlterf we went down to the House when Mr. Jcnkinson determined to go forward with the Second Reading. " After the Second Reading was lost in the House, 1 saw Mr. Arthur LLoyd in the Lobby, who said he was then and should he willing to accede to, and sign the proposals which had been made, as if the Question had not been decided. I after, wards saw Lord Clive, who stated that he was also ready to accede to the Proposals, and his I, irdship again came after Mr. Jeukinson and me, and Stopped us at the Foot of the Stairs to the Gallery, arid repeated his Readiness to accede, and Imped all hostile Feelings would now cease, and Concili- ation take Pjace; that no Exasperation would go on in Shrewsbury, which Mr. Jenkinson said would depend upon their o'wtf Conduct on the Subject iu Dispute, or Words to that Effect." " Tuesday, 3d May, 18i5. " Mr. Watton and I went lo Lord Clive's, in Grafton'- street, where we met Mr. S. Loyd, of the Knolls, and Mr. Salt, for the Purpose of procuring their Signatures to the Propositions made hy Mr. Kenyon., at the former Meeting io Grafton. street 1 produced a Copy of Mr. Kenyon's Propositions with a Memorandum of Agreement underneath, vis.: " We agree to the Propositions as made by " Mr Kenyon, and only stipulate that they " lie embodied iu a Bill to he introduced " next Session in so fur as they may be coil- " sisteut with the Standing Orders of Parlia- " meat." " Lord t.' live read it, and then produced his own Memorandum taken at the former Meeting, and said that, as Chairman of the Meeting on Saturday, he had no Objection to sign it. Mr. Ll. oyd also said be had no Objection to sign it, as he had before staled to me in the Lobby of tiic House of Commons after we had lost, the Second Reading. I observed that those Propositions of Mr. Kenyou's were what I was. instructed to procure their Signatures to ; and I would not sign his Lordship's. He then asked what was the Difference, ami he and Mr. LLoyd having compared tlieiu, Mr. Watton said Mr. Ken von's were preferred, as although both might have been intended to convey the same Meaning, yet in Mr. Kenvon's the Meaning was more defined. " Mr. Salt said that it had been agreed to send Lord Clive's Memorandums to Shrewsbury, and he liad no Doubt the Committee there would assent to tliem nnd embody them in Resolutions which should be published and distributed amongst the Inhabit, ants before the End of the Week ; — Mr. Salt also suggested that Ihe Trustees should be Gentlemen of high Respectability, and that there should be some Check upon them as to selling the Property ami disposing of the Money. There wns some Discussion about the Dead Weight or Expense ol' t! ie House and Establishment, which Mr. Watton and I said had been abandoned at. the Meeting on Saturday. " Lord Clivr, in his Private Room, told ns he was sorry we had been put to an Expense on this Occasion, and that his Fifty Pounds was much at our Service towards such Expenses," On the Motion of Mr. HAZT, BDINB, seconded by Mr. It. TAVI. OH, it was resolved unanimously, That the Act passed in the 24th Y'ear of his lale Majesty which Incorporated the Six Parishes be- longing to the Town and Liberties of Shrewsbury, having been pronounced by the Bench and other Legal Authorities ambiguous, unintelligible, and insecure; the Experience of Forty Years hayin proved the Impossibility of obtaining the Objects proposed iu the Preamble of the said Act; and in Consequence of the great and unjust Inequality of the Payments in the said Parishes, and further in Consequence of the extensive Enquiries aud mature Opinions of Committees of the House of Commons, as well as of ihe improved Provisions of recent Act of the Legislature for the better Relief of the Poor — it is therefore expedient lhat the said Act of the : 24th Geo. III. cap. 15, he repealed.

[ Before the Propositions were read, Mr. Tudor slated that if any Gentleman present doubted the Accuracy of those Propositions, he ( Mr. Tudor), knowing that Mr. Kenyon was ill Shrewsbury, would, if authorised hy the Meeting, request the Honourable Gentleman's Attendance, and which, he doubted not, would be complied with. The Chairman having taken the Sense of the Meeting, they unanimously requested that Mr. Tudor he deputed to solicit the Favour of Mr. Kenyon's Attendance.

THE WKLMNGTON VASE— A grand dinner was held on Friday at the city of London Tavern, to present to the Duke of Wellington a inagnili- ce. it Vase, iu testimony of his distinguished services, 41 not in the presumptuous hope of extending the glory of a name which is imperishable, but to testify I heir admiration of the last aud greatest of his achievements— The tia'tle of Waterloo."— The Lord Mayor took the chair, supported on his right by Ihe Noble Duke, and on the left bv his companion in amis, Ihe Marquis of Anglesea— aud surrounded by Noblemen ami Gentlemen con nected with the commerce of the metropolis. On his Grace's health being given from the Chair, and drank with the greatest enthusiasm, the Duke of Wellington said, he entertained the highest sense of Ihe honour done him, and he relumed his sincere thanks for the beautiful specimen of British an just presented lo him as a mark of approbation of his services. To those he would not advert ; hut he must say, that Ihe battle of Waterloo deserved the commendation bestowed upon it, having been productive of consequences unheard of wilh respect to any event of modern times, or indeed to any event of any times. It completed the military glory of England, subdued a degrading mililarv despotism on the Continent, and secured an ho" ivorahle and advantageous peace, which, be trusted, would last long for the prosperity and glory of the country. Hedisclaimed any exclusive merit hevoml an extreme anxiety and endeavour to do his duty. The merit was due to Ihe Noble Muiquis ( Angle- sea), and Ihe officers and privates under his com. mand. f Loud cheers J.— A similar compliment was paid lo the Marquis of Anglesea, who relumed thanks for himself, and in Ihe name of the gallant men with whom he had the honour lo serve. The company did not separate till a late hour.

There was a Greek tailor who had been in the British service in the Ionian Islands, where he had married an Italian woman. This lady knowing something of the military service, petitioned Lord Byron to appoint her husband master. tailor of the brigade The suggestion was useful, and this part of her petition was immediately granted. At the same time, how- ever, she solicited that she might be permitted to raise a corps of women, to be placed under her orders, to accompany the regiment. She stipu lated for free quarters and rations for them, but rejected al! claims for pay. They were to be free Of all incumbrances, and were to wash, sew, and cook for the'men. The proposition pleased Lord Byron, & stating the matter to me, he said he hoped I should have no objection. I had been accustomed to see women accompany the English army, and 1 knew that though somewhat an incumbrance, they were, on the whole, more beneficial than otherwise. In Greece there were, many circumstances which could make their services extremely valuable, and ! gave my consent to the measure. The tailor's wife did accordingly recruit a considerable number of unincumbered women of almost ail Rations,, but principally Greeks, Italians, Maltese, and Negresses 41 I was afraid," said Lord Byron, " when I mentioned this matter to you, you would be crusty aud oppose it— it is the very thing. Let me see, my corps outdoes FalstafF's ;— there are the English, Germans, Maltese, Ragusiaws, Ita lians, Neapolitans, Transylvanians, Russians, Sullotes, Moreotes, and Western Greeks, in front; and Jo bring up the rear, the tailor's wife and her troop.— Glorious Apollot n* General bad ever before sueb art army,"' now my own heart, I would not wilfully deceive thers: and if 1 have been deceived, and have formed erroneous notions of Catholic doctrine, after the fair opportunities I have hud of knowing and learning it, I must have inherited a more than ordi- nary share of stupidityJ f, however, I am more than ordinarily stupid, at least, I will endeavour to net fairly and honestly, according to the best know- ledge I possess. Before I proceed to the charges which N. E. repeats, I will beg to observe, that these charges, and others still more revolting, which have lately been so liberally poured out against us, apply, if true, to by far the larger proportion of tlmse who profess Christianity . throughout the world, and, consequently that, ill fact, they amount to an im- peachment of Christianity itself. I have,.. there- fore, to defend Christianity. I wo;< ld ask tf. E. if an unbeliever in Christianity were to say to'ltiiW— Sir, according to your acknowledgment, by far the larger proportion of those whoptofess the Christian Uetigion, maintain that it is lawful to violate the sanctity of on oath if given to those who differ, from them in Religion, and according to others'who have lately spoken, on your side, the same large propor. tion of Christians believe it lauful to worship . mages, to purchase with money permission lo commit sins against God: how then con 1 believe that Christi- anity is Ihe Religion of God?— if, I say, an unbe- liever in Christianity were to speak thus to N. E. what would be his answer ? But 1 couie to the charges themselves N. E. says, ihat tk it has been openly prnmulged, and publicly maintained, by writers and doctors of the Romish communion, tliat no faith was to be kept with heretics." To this i will briefly reply, that if such has been the doctrine of auv writer or any doctor, it is no doctrine of our religion. I have nothing- to do with the opinions of Individuals; I have only to examine what is the doctrine of the Catholic Church. If N. E. will name and bring forward any doctor or any writer proposing and maintaining tiie doctrine in question, every Catholic is ready to disavow, and condemn it. Certain I ain of this, that if J vveie to teach the anti- social and irreligious doctrine imputed to us, I should very soon be suspended from the exercise of my ministry, by my ecclesiastical Superior. In proof that Catholics are not from principle intolerant, 1 mentioned iu my letter the example of Catholic France allowing free nnd full toleration to Protestants. N. E. searches for the cause of this toleration. From whatever cause, however, it may proceed, the fact is admitted, and it is stili true, that Catholic France does allow the fullest toleration lo Protestants. If another example lie necessary, I may add that of Catholic Austiia giving a full and free toleration to her Protestant subjects. But N. E. says, that, a Rescript from Rome condemned the Belgian Constitution. Let us first knotv alt the articles of that Constitution, and then examine to which the condemnation applies, iu the mean time it is sufficient to support mv assertion, viz. that (' a'ItoUcs are not from principle intolerant, that Catholic France and Catholic Austria tolerate to the fullest extent. For how can France and Austria be acknowledged Catholic, as they really are, if they are publicly acting against a principle of Catholic Religion ? N. E. returns to the charge of persecution. 1 said in mv letter that I had not discovered that the Catholic Religion inculcates persecution. In reply, he mentions instances of persecution, which he^ ay were carried ou " by order of ihe Romish See.' The fact is, that the Massacre of Paris was one of those horrible events; which are too apt to occur ru a country plirensied, as France then was, by relrel. liou and civil war. The See of Rome had iio more to do with it, than it had wilh the cruellies exer- cised bv the Protestants of France against tlie Catholics, about the same time, and before it. As to the Edict of Nantes, the very existence of that Edict allowing toleration to the Protestant subjects of France, and continuing in force under more than one Catholic Monarch, proves that the Catholic Religion does not require intolerance. The revoca- tion of the Edict was the act of Louis 14th,— let him he responsible for it. lint Spain has her Inqui- sition. Oil this subject there has been much ex- aggeration. If, however, as a matter of siate- policv, Spain still retains her Inquisition, as Pro- testant Geneva once had her Inquisition, and Pro- testant England once had her Star- Chamber, let us leave Spain to settle her own affairs, and to answer to God for her own deeds : and if Catholic France aud Catholic Austria g'ive a better example, let us imitate them. lu my letter, I said, that persecution had been carried on, in our own country, by Protestants against Catholics. N. E. does not deny the fact: he obscurely alludes to it, and attributes it to the ferment excited by tbe Reformation. But truly, two long centuries, through which Catholics were ( to use no stronger term) severely persecuted, is too long a period lo be allowed for the continuance of a ferment, either in the moral or natural world. Before I quit the subject of persecution, I will beg to observe, that while, in your Journal, differ- ent Protestant writers and speakers have accused Catholics ( I may, without violating the laws of courtesy, say, somewhat harshly) of beinir, from principle, persecutors, a Protestant writer, who signs himself Philobiblos, is allowed, in this same Journal, to advocate the cause of religious persecu- tion, and even to appeal to the Holy Scripture in favour of the very principle of religious persecution. But he is not the first, amongst Pr destants, who has advocated the same cause. I might refer to others of high authority, even of the highest autho- rity, in Protestantism,— I might refer to Luther, and Calvin, aud Bcza, and even Melancthou, who have also written in support of religious persecution. Let us quit the odious subject; or let candour decide to whom the charge of persecution will best apply. One charge, the most serious of all, and to remove the imputation of which from myself and mv reli- gion, was a principal object of iny letter. " N. E does not repeat. I may consider, therefore, that this charge is withdrawn, or at least that N. E. consents to its being withdrawn. In conclusion, I beg to repeat, in few words, and from an honest heart, that as a Catholic 1 believe myself bound to keep my oath given to a Protestant Government, or to a Protestant Individual, as invi- olably as if given to a Catholic Government, or to a Catholic Individual : I abhor persecution, and believe that Religion requires no other arms, and uo other defence, than those of charity and meek- ness. With this I take leave of N. E. till he appears in his onu name. I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, SAMUEL JONES. Shrewsbury, Mat/ 21st, 1825. X. Execution of the Assassins of Mr. and Mrs. Hunt.— Naples, April 28.— The assassins of the unfortunate Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, whose case excited so deep and extensive an interest, were executed last Saturday, 23d instant. The brutal ruffians, Ihe sanguinary destroyers of defenceless youth and beauty, died like dastardly villains as they were. Those hearts which had the baneful energy to arrive al the excess of crime, which could dictate the cruel blow that was to send to a premature grave two beings rich in merit, in love, and in happiness; and lhat was to wound tile hearts of thousands of Ihe josl and virtuous, trembled and sunk at their own sufferings. They moaned, they shrieked, nor could all Ihe consolations of religion, give Ihein strength lo face their punishment.— It appeared on the trial lhat the criminals look lo Ihe road for the first lime, the day before our unfor- tunate country people fell into their hands. Lord Liverpool, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and Mr. Huskisson's admission ( in their observations on I be Corn Laws), that four fifths ofourmunu factures are consumed at home, has placed the importance of British agriculture upon a firm and permaueut basis, Tlte following tire extracts from the Circular Letter •.— " The iniquity pf our enemies proceeds to such a length, that, in addition. to the filthy mass of perni- cious books, . which is of ilseif prejudicial lo reli- mil, they endeavour to convert to the detriment ot' religion the very Sacred. Scriptures themselves, which were bestowed on us by God, for the estab- lishment of religion. " ll is no secret to you,' venerable Brethren, lhat certain socieiy, vulgarly. called ' Tbe Bible Society,' is audaciously dispreadi. ig itself through the whole world. After despising ' ihe tindilions'of the Holy Fathers, and in opposition to the well- known decree of the Council of Trent, ( Session the Fourth, on the, publication and us? of liie Sacred Books,) Ibis Society bus collected ail its furces, and directs every means to one object, — to the transla- tion, or rather to the peryersion, of tl| e Bible into Ihe vernacular languages of all nations! From this fact there is strong ground of fear, lest, as in some instances already . known, so likewise iu the rest, through a perverse iuterprelration, there be framed out of the Gospel of Christ, a Gospel of man, or, what i. s worse, a Gospel of the Devil. ( St. Jerome in cap'. 1. Epist. ad Gajat,) " For tlie purpose of. averting this pest, several of our predecessors published Constitutions; and, in these last days, Pius the Seventh, of pious memory, delivered two Briefs,— one to Ignatius, Archbishop of Gnesne — the other to Stanislaus, Archbishop of. Moliilow ; in both of which ore found i! i'any_ accurate and wise extracts from the Sacred Writings, and from tradition, to demonstrate with what craftiness this invention becomes hurtful to faith and manners. " We likewise, in discharge of our Apostolical functions, exhort you, venerable Brethren, dili- gently to occupy yourselves, by every possible method, to remove your flocks from tlies. deadly und destructive pastures. Reprove, entreat, ' be in- stant in season aud out ol season,' in all patience and doetri ne, thai the laithlul under your charge, conforming themselves exactly to the" rules of our Congregation of the Index, may he assuredly per- suaded, if the Holy Bible, translated into the vulgar tongue, be generally permitted, without discrimination, more detriment than utility will arise from such a practice, in consequence of'men's rashness. " Behold, venerable Brethren, what is the ten- dency of this Society, which, iu order lo the fulfilment ot its impious wishes, leaves nothing unattenipled. For it congratulates itself, not only on printing and publishing its various tinnslations [ of the Scriptures], but likewise on its visiting all cities,- and dispersing its edition* among the popu- lace in them: besides ibis, that it may entice ihe minds of the simple, it is sometimes careful to sell [ the copies], and at: other times it delights, with ait insidious liberal ity, to distribute the in gratuitously The follomno are extracts from the Hull of Indiction, addtessed to the Patriarchs, Fri- mates,- 4rrhbishops, and Bishops, and " all the faithful:"— c( We proclaim and publish the universal and great jubilee to continence iu ibis Holy City, from the first vespers of the next eve of the Nativity of our most Holy Saviour, Jesus Chris', and to continue through the whole of the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty- five. During this tear of Jubilee, we mercifully in the Lord grant and impart the most plenary aud complete indulgence, remis- sion, and pardon of all their sius, to all Ihe faithful in Christ, of both sexes, who are truly penitent, and have confessed, and who have likewise re- freshed themselves with the Holy Communion,—. provided ( if Romans, or inhabitant* of Ihe city,) they shall have devoutly visited these churches* of the city, that ofthe blessed Peter and Paul, of St. John Lateran, aud that of St, Mary Major, at least once a day, for thirty days; — but if thev be fo reigners, or in any respect strangers, they must have visited these churches, at least fifteen days; provided a! so, that they shall have poured forth pious prayers to God for the exaltation of ilxj Holy Church, the extirpation of heresies, the concord of Catholic Princes, and the salvation und tranquillity of Christendom.

L. Shrewsbury House of Industryi On Wednesday last, at 11 o'clock, a Meeting of the Guardians of the Poor took place at the House of Industry, pursuant to tbe Rfequisition,- 8ie. advertized in our last Journal,- for the purpos? of receiving the Report of the Committee respecting the proceedings in Parliament upon tire Bill for Repealing the Local Act of Incorporation, and to consider of future proceedings. RICE WYNNE, Esq. was unanimously called to the Chair, and he said— Gentlemen, being by your cbsire appointed Chairman, I shall proceed imme- diately to the business for. which we are met. In the first place I would observe, that as the Com- mittee appointed to oppose the repeal of the Act have, by advertisement in the Journal of to- day, acceded to the proposal contained in the Resolution adopted on the I lib instant by the Committee ap- pointed to obtain the repeal of the Act of Incor- poration, as advertised iu the last Chronicle, 1 trust it will be no longer considered that we meet as con- tending parties, but that we are all united as one body, desirous to promote the best ami fairest in- terests of the United Parishes.— The Chairman then read the Requisition for, and appointment of, the present meeting. Mr. H A Z LEt) I N E. — I beg to move that Mr. Wil- liams, the solicitor, do now read the minutes of what passed in London relative Jo the Biil lately brought iu to Parliament.— See Advert. Mr. LLAZLEDLNE said, Lord Clive had sent his £ 50 in a letter to the Treasurer, to Messrs. Beck and Co.' s Bank. The Rev. II. SANDFORD wished the letter read. Mr. WATTON said it was not necessary to read the letter. Mr. HAZLEDINB said the £ 50 was towards the past expenses. Mr. HAZLEDINE then moved the2d resolution.— See Advert. Mr. CLEMENT.— Gentlemen, I beg leave to pro- pose another Resolution. I certainly will not follow the example of the worthy opponents of the Bill: they have been gelf- elected and have become self- defunct They have, like moles, thrown up their little hillocks, and have scattered about that which has blinded a great many people— many well- dis- posed persons, w ho did not know the objects of the pnriles. — Mr. Clement then moved the 3d resolution. The Rev. II. SANDFORD said he had two motions to submit to the meeting, and he trusted they would be adopted with unanimity, as he conceived they were well calculated to put an end to the differences that had existed. — He then moved the 4th resolution. Mr TODOR said, the resolutions proposed by Mr. Kenyon in Loudon were read, and assented to by Mr. Young, at the meeting at Lord dive's, and if the meeting thought it necessary, he would under- take that Mr Kenyon should be before them in ten minutes to affirm the correctness of his assertion, as that gentleman bad purposely come to town to be ready to do so if required. Mr. HAZLEDINK moved that, as Mr. Kenyon was in town, he should be requested to come and affirm to the meeiing what had been slated relative to his hitions.— Mr. WHITEHURST seconded the motion. Mr. WAT'FON did nut think it necessary, as there could be no doubt of the fact. The Rev. H. SANDFORD supported MR. Hazledine's matron. THE CHAIRMAN.— No one questions, after what Iras passed, that the propositions now produced with Mr. K. enVOu's initials attached, are those w ritten by Mr. Ken yon in London, and agreed to at the meeting. I therefore, for one, do not see the necessity of giving the honourable gentleman the trouble of attending this meeting, unless it be considered that Ihe authen- ticity of tl> e propositions might be doubted on some future occasion. If this be the case, and Mr. Kenyon being this morning in Shrewsbury, it would be better to request his attendance, which would remove every doubt and put an end' to any dispute on the subject. It being the sense of the meeting that Mr. Tudor's proposition should be acceded to, the motion was carried. , , . The fjt. li, Oth, 7th and 8th resolutions were then put to the meeting. The Hon. Thomas Kenyon now entered the room, and was warmly greeted by the assembly. THE CHAIRMAN —( to Mr. Kenyon)— Sir, you bav- in - r been so kind as to state your readiness to give every information respecting the resolutions agreed to at the meeting in London, it is the request of the meeting that you should now put. the authenticity of those resolutions beyond a question ; for, althougl all present have not the slightest doubt of their being genuine, nor the slightest wish to impugn them, yet, as thev might be disputed on some future occasion, it is the particular desire of this meeting that the matter should at once be put to rest by your testi- The Hon T. KRNYON : Mr. Chairman— Gentlemen — 1 feel it my duty to attend in consequence of the wish von have expressed. If that wish had only come from one party, I should have hesitated, be cause I am aware that I have no vote, nor have I anv int rest in the town, further than that which arises from feeling an anxiety in the welfare of its inhabitants; at the same time I shall be always happv to do my best endeavours, in case any differ enee arises, to bring people together in a spirit of harmony and good- will; and if in what I am about to say, I shall speak more of myself than maybe thought right, 1 trust you will pardon me ; for, iu speaking of w hat took place in this business, I can. nut avoid stating uiy own connexion with the tram. prop.* actions. Gentlemen, before I went to London, tw* months ago, 1 was waited upon by three respectable gentlemen, who came to request that I would ask my brother to present your Bill in the House of Lords, iu case it should pass ihe Commons, and he should approve of it: till that moment 1 had nothing lo do with the question ; but after such a request, I hope I shall not be charged with presumption in acting as I have done, When the Bill was shewn me by those gentlemen, ! instantly pointed out one clause which would be fatal to it, and urged them to be ready to alter it. The clause 1 allude to was that which authorised the sale of the House, without pointing out how the money received was to be ap- propriated. I told them I was sure Parliament would not leave them a discretionary power in that, respect, but would know what was to be done with the sur- plus. The gentlemen were quite willing to adopt any alteration that might be thought proper. After I got to London I received a note to attend at Lord dive's— I attended at that house at the especial re- quest of the noble owner. The meeting was held, aud much conversation took place as to different modes of proceeding. 1 certainly thought we did not get on much with the business. It was stated that serious objections would arise as to the settle- ment of the paupers in different parishes; aud at length seeing an opening for delivering my senti- ments, I said I thought it would he best to start from some given point on which all might agree. The first point I urged was the impossibility of passing the Bill in its present form. Secondly, the necessity of doing away w ith the Institution as inefficient in itself and unjust to all the rate- payers. I then read a letter which I had received, stating that the settle- ments of the paupers were. pretty accurately known, aud were for the most part registered, and that, therefore, this great objection would fall to the ground. But, supposing the observation in force, I thought it would be unjust to dp away with the Bill, as 1 conceived that was a more pressing reason for passing the Bill as soon as possible, for the longer things remained t. s they were, the more injustice would be done. Mr. Young and Mr. Salt were present, and I wish I could see them here, as tliev could set me right if I should fall into any error. I asked Mr. Young if he bad any objections to the propositions I had made. Mr. Bennet sat by me, and I asked him if I was going on right? He said 1 was perfectly right, and told me to go on, for it was the only way touring them to a point. Mr. Rennet said it was absolutely necessary to repeal the old Act ; it was impossible to obtain a new one without doing so, and that should be the object of the first clause — that must be done before any other enactment could take place. As I continued to propose my different ques- tions to Mr. Young, asking him whether he had any objections to make as to them, I wrote the present paper as I went along : Present Act to be repealed. Question of Settlements to be referred to three Gentle- men perfectly unconnected with the present question^ Out- Poor to be maintained at their respective Parishes. On this I particularly addressed myself to Mr. Salt, and asked if he had any objection to make to it ? He said " No." In- Poor at the House at so much per head according to the number from each Parish actually in the House. I asked Mr. Salt if he had any objection to make to this? He said 44 No " Present House to be sold, and two new ones bought without the liberties of the Street- Act. On this being proposed, I asked if they had any objection to tbe present House being sold, and two new ones bought out of Ihe limits of the Street Act. There being two Houses benght was a suggestion of Lord dive's; why, I do not know ; but 1 thought it right to adopt any suggestion that could tend to unanimity. That the Houses should he out of the limits of the Street Act was proposed, because I heard that many persons objected to doing away with tbe present institution, from an apprehension of the unsightly appearance of workhouses and paupers in tbe town, and perhaps from fears of infectious complaints. Mr. Young consented to this pro- position in a way that a gentleman present must have remarked — seeming to wonder why 1 should ask such a question. Up to that period all the Mem- bers of the House of Commons present went along with me in my propositions, with the exception of Mr. Pelham, who, for reasons which I have no doubt he could satisfactorily explain, objected to them altogether. Lord Clive afterwards produced pro- posals which, he said, contained my resolutions. I nve a great regard for my nob'e friend ; I am very far from wishing to say a word that would hurt hi » " eelinovs ; but in justice to myself, and more so in . ttstiee to you, I must say that what he put down does not bind me : my own sentiments are not to be eon- trouled by Lord Clive. Without in the least wis.' vin< to insinuate that he intentionally altered my ex pressions, I must say, that if there is a difference between Lord Clive's version and my own, certainly I ought to know best what passed from myself; and I pledge myself that this is the very paper which I now hold in my bauds. Lord Clive produced his paper. I have not the vanity to wish every parti- cular expression of mine should be retained, but if any question arises about it, surely what was pro- duced by myself is best known to myself. Gentlemen, I must stale, as I am no paity man, and have no mental reservation, that in this stage of the business an unfortunate occurrence took place : but I do uot blame any one. The gentleman present, whom you deputed, refused to accede to the propositions. He said, I cannot agree to this: I was sent here to procure a repeal, not to re- enact. I endeavoured much, but in vain, to convince him that ihe Act could not be repealed without a re- enactment. Although I lament this, I must say, I think his motive did him credit, and shewed he was worthy of the trust eposed in him. He said he had no objection to sign for himself as an individual, but as a deputy he could not. Of course, as the one party thus refused to sign, the other party could not sign. The meet- ing then broke up; but I previously stated that it was a thousand pities the arrangement should be broke off by such a trifling occurrence ; and I pro- posed that, as Mr. Jenkinson was not in tow n, the business should stand over nnd remain open till Monday. The learned gentleman who opposed the Bill objected to so long a time. I reminded him that the next day was Sunday, nnd that, of course he would not wish lo transact every- day business oti that day ; and he then acceded to the matter stand ing over. On the Monday Mr. Walton and Mr. Williams called upon me, and said they were willin fo sign the proposals I bad made, provided the Bill should be got through this Session. This is all 1 know of the business previous to the second reading of the bill ; but, Gentlemen, I have the authority of an Hon. Friend for saying that many Members were cAnvassed in the House of Commons ; among others, one gentleman ( Mr. Slurges Bourne), who heard vrhat was said, read the Bill, and voted against the gentleman who had canvassed him: that gentleman was, from his peculiar acquaintance with the subject, best calculated to give an opinion upon it— an opinion that would, in my estimation, carry as much weight as that of any other 50 Members, and he voted for going into a Committee. The Bill was however, lost. Gentlemen, I must say, that in this business it appears to me, and I speak it with eyery respect for my noble friend, Lord Clive has suffered frivolous objections and quibbles to impress them- selves on bis mind, in opposition to those funda- mental principles of justice and equity by which he is usually actuated. I am not aware of any other point to be explained; but if any gentleman has a question to ask, I am ready to answer it. Before I sit down, however, I can but express my regret that the learned gentleman ( Mr. Salt) who opposed the Bill is not here, because I am informed there is one point on which he has objected to the business being referred to me. If the learned gentleman had objected to mens being stupid and ignorant, and therefore unfit to undertake it, I should not canvass his opinion ; but he has objected that I am partizan of a particular party, and am not interested in the question. Now these two coupled together seem to me to form an extraordinary ground of objection. If I am a partizan, then I am an inter- ested party, and yet he says I am- unfit because I am not interested. But I deny the being a partizan I wish as well to the one party as to the other : wish to promote a spirit of good. will and harmony i the town of Shrewsbury: I deity being a partizan. The other part of the objection, namely, that I am unfit because I am uninterested, is strange for a learned gentleman. Does he mean to say that a Judge on the Bench would be more fitted for the duties of his office if he had a direct interest in the result of his own decision ? Gentlemen, that such an objection should proceed from a man of common sense, and he too a limb of the law, is to me quite extraordinary ; but I mention it upon strong author- ity. Gentlemen, I have nothing more to say, ex- cepting thai I must apologize for trespassing so much upon your time and attention.—[ The Hon. Gent, was much applauded in the course of his address ] Mr. WATTON. — Allow me to say 1 hnd a second objection lo signing the proposals made at Lord Clive's, arising from a letter which I had iu my » cket, which authorized me to agree to there l> eing two Monies, but not to the withdrawing of the Bill. In answer to a question from Mr. TAYLOR, if was stated that the version of the proposals to which Mr. Watton refused his signature was Lord Clive's. Mr. HAZLEDINB then again read tbe6th resolution; • n which Mr. & RUV0* staled liiat life should feel it his duty to attend all meetings, and promote the interests of the Guardians to the utmost of his abilities. Mr. WATTON then moved the9th resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Clement.— Mr. KENYON said, I atn much obliged to you, Gentlemen, for this additional proof of your good- w ill " On the- motion of Mr. HAZLEOINE, a letter ad- dressed to Mr. Williams by the Hon. Cecil Jenkinson, was now read. The other resolutions contained in the Advertise- ment were afterwards adopted, and the meeting separated. imperial parliament HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY. JUDGES' SALARIES. The House having gone into a Committee, it Was resolved, after considerable discussion,, to raise the salaries of the Puisne Judges from £ 4000 to £(> 000 jer annum; the salary of the Chief Justice of the king's Bench to be £ 10,000 per antrum ; that of the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas to be £ 8000 per annum; those of the Master of the Rolls and the Chief Baron to be £ 7000 per annum each; and that of the Vice- Chancellor £ 6000 per annum.— All right in the Judges to receive emoluments by disposing of offices in their Courts is to cease after the passing of his Act; and the rights of all other persons to dispose of offices in the Courts of Law is to cease after the death of the present holders, who have purchased their places and given large sums in consideration of the emoluments to be derived from the usages now directed to be abolished. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. A motion for the repeal of the Window Tax was n trod need by Mr. HOBIIOU. SE, and opposed by Ihe CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.— After a debate of some length, the motion was rejected by a majority of 114 to 77. Roman Catholic Question. HOUSE OF LORDS- TUESDAY. The second reading of ihe Roman Catholic Relief Bill being fixed for this evening, a great anxiety jrevailed to hear the discussion, aud every part of the House was crowded. Various petitions, with signatures amounting in the aggregate lo 140,000, were presented, against further concession; one of these, from Manchester, was signed by 43,000 persons; another, from Liver- pool, by 30,000.—[ A similar petition, from Shrews- bury, with 1660 signatures, had been presented, on Ihe preceding evening, by the Earl of Powis. j Several Petitions were presented in favour of the Catholic claims; among which was one from the Roman Catholics of England, signed by 30,000 individuals, at the head of whom was the Duke of Norfolk : this petition was presented by Earl GREY, who spoke at considerable length in favour of the pending Bill. CATHOLIC RELTEF BILL. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE shortly moved the second reading of the Catholic Relief Bill; at the same time he stated that he disapproved of another Bill which had been brought forward, the object of which was to deprive the 40s. Irish Freeholders of their Franchise. Lord COLCHESTER opposed the second reading of the Bill, Al present, the Roman Catholics enjoyed, by law, the fullest protection in the exercise of their religion. With respect to property, the enjoyment of property by a Catholic was as complete, in his opinion, as the enjoyment of property by any other subject of the realm. With respect to civil power, all the situations in the revenue were open to the Catholics; the bar was open to them by means of a patent of precedency; and ihe Army and Navy had long been open lo them. They now asked for admission to all political domestic power; and the effect of acceding to their demands would be the gradual destruction of the property of the Estab- lished Church, the gradual re- establishment of the Roman Catholic religion iu Ireland, and the gradual dissolution of that connection between Church and State, which formed an essential part of the British Constitution. His Lordship quoted from several RbiVran Catholic works to. shew the hostility borne by them to Protestants; among others, Dr. Doyle, in a publication issued by him on the 13th of May, 1824, says— 14 The Members of the Established Church are, and ever will be detested by those who differ from them in religion." His Lordship parti- cularly urged the necessity of dislodging and expell- ing the establishments of Jesuits which had been formed iu this country, and concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the Bill should be read that day six. months. The Marquis of ANGLESEA would be most happy to support the Bill, if he thought he could do so without endangering the impregnable security of Protestant ascendancy ; but every concession hitherto made to the Catholics, instead of conciliating them, gave rise to increased irritation and new demands and his opinion Was, that their . object , was not emancipation but ascendancy. Their Lordships w; ere told that the demands of six millions of men could not be resisted. The necessity of resisting such demands no man deplored more than lie did; but if, unfortunately, the necessity should arise, and that the battle must life fought, lie would say to their Lordships, they ought to fight it if possible iu tbe best position, and he must say that he could see no position better than that in- which their Lordships now stood. he Marquis CAMDEN* and the Earl DARNLKY supported the original motion, and thought that the time had arrived for yielding to the Roman Catholics. The Earl of LONGFORD and the Bishop of LLANDAFF supported the amendment. The former contended that there was no security for the Constitution, but " n a liberally exercised Protestant ascendancy. Tbe Bishop of NORWICH supported the original motion, and spoke very warmly against the existing disqualifications of the Roman Catholics, as insulting and oppressive. Lord CARBERY strongly insisted on the impropriety of the Legislature permitting the Roman Catholics of Ireland to increase their present power. They had 300 years' experience of the difference of the tenets and principles of the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches; and if this were not enough to induce them to vote against the second reading of the Bill, lie thought it would be enough to refer them to the evidence of Dr. Doyle himself, which hewed that the Irish Roman Catholic Bishops, as well as the laity, would not even approve of tbe concessions which were made by the present Bill in their favour. The Bishop of CHESTER addressed the House in a brilliant and very long address. He commenced by defending the conduct of the Hierarchy of the Pro- testant Church, the sleepless sentinels and intrepid champions of the doctrines and privileges of the Church of England ; and proceeded to shew that ihe Roman Catholics had no claim of indefeasible right to political power, by proving that, on the principles of civil society, and on the authority of universal usage, there was no political privilege that was not subject to limitation, on the ground of expe- diency, whenever the interest of the State required it. There were three important questions insepar- able from the consideration of the Bill on the table; — First, Whether the religious doctrines of the Roman Catholics were not inconsistent with the security of Ihe Protestant Church ? Secondly, Whe- ther it was wise to violate a principle of the Consti- tution, for the purpose of encouraging such religious opinions? And, thirdly, whether the Bill before their Lordships would be competent to the purpose of its introduction, namely, to remedy the evils of Ireland ? As to the last of these questions, the evidence taken before their Lordships* Committees proved that the late disturbances in Ireland did not spring from any feelings relative to the Catholic Question. That unhappy country was afflicted by an older, a more deeply- seated, a more dangerous, but, he trusted, not an incurable disease. The evidence of the most distinguished witnesses shewed that Ireland's evils arose from the misery and ignorance of the peasantry, aud from a melancholy state of society which required the remedial appli- cation of the most rigid statistical measures ;— from the absence of the proprietors of the land, the na- tural protectors of the peasantry, and the usurpation of their power by a set of petty tyrants;— from 8 monstrous system of extortion, and underletting, which squeezed from the wretched cultivator of th soil more than all his industry could glean from it — from an obstinate adherence to antiquated ens. torn*, in place of a respect for the Statutes of the land. The remedies for those evils were a revisal of the revenue laws— the establishment of a sound system of popular education— and, above all, th return and residence of the great landed proprietors iu the midst of their oppressed tenantry. These were the evils from which Ireland required to be emancipated, and these were the measures which would rescue her degraded sons from poverty, im- morality, ignorance, and insubordination. When these great and necessary remedies should have been applied, and produced the wished- for effects of prosperity and peace, then, indeed, Noble Lords may talk of political concessions, but not till then. His Lordship then adverted to the proceedings and peeches of the Catholic Association, to shew that, heir ultimate object iu agitating tbe Catholics of Ireland was to suppress the Protestant Religion. He also quoted the works of modern Catholic writ, ers, which had received the sanction of the Pope himself, together wilh those of Dr. Doyle, to shew that the avowed and anxious object of the Roman Catholic Priesthood was the extirpation of the rotestant Religion. Referring to the writings of Dr. D03 le, an « l to his evidence before the Parlia- mentary Committees, his Lordship asked what credit couhhbe given to the testimony of a man who, from the cover of his sleeve, drew forth and hurled abroad liis poisoned arrows against the Protestant religion, and disseminated the revolting doctrines of Jacobinism, and then attempted to glozedown those asperities, and to evadfe the doctrine of the Church to which he belonged? His Lordship said, it was painful to him thus to urge what his conscientious uty demanded, because life personally knew some most respectable members of the Roman Catholic communion ; one of them, iu his own diocese ( Sir T. Stanley, we believe), iu a spirit worthy ( he poke it without wishing to give offence) of a better faith, supported nearly at his own expense a large National School. With regard to the Bill tipon the itble, however, satisfied that Ihe doctrines of the Roman Catholic religion were such, that they could not be encouraged without violating a principle of the Constitution and exposing the Protestant Church to danger, he implored their Lordships not to pass Bill pieguant with such fearful consequences. The Earl of Limerick shortly supported the Bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWNK also supported it, and rged the examples of the United States, Prussia, Denmark, Hanover, See. to shew that there could be no danger in granting the same privileges to Roman Catholics that were enjoyed by Protestants. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, the House of Com- mons had, by its proceedings, brought iheir Loid- ships into a most extraordinary and awkward dilem- ma. They were not content with sending up a Bill, the ostensible object of which was the removal of the Roman Catholic disabilities, but they accompanied it by two other measures, which had no connexion with the original question; these were, a Bill fo » miting the Elective Franchise in Ireland, and nother for paying salaries to Roman Catholic Priests; and having, by means of these two collateral measures, secured a majority in its favour in their own House, they expected, upon that account, to secure a majority of their Lordships. He could not, however, help saying, that it was a most disgraceful proceeding, and that it would fail of its effect. With regard to the Bill before the House, it had been got up most unintelligibly — the greatest part of it was nonsense— and every six lines of it contradicted what went before. The advocates of this question say, Are not the Roman Catholics entitled to all the rights nd privileges which their other fellow subjects enjoy ? To this he would answer with a direct negative ; for the Protestant payed an entire, the Roman Catholic an imperfect allegiance. The evi- dence taken before their Lordships had proved to how great an extent the Pope still held power over the Roman Catholic Hierarchy nnd Priesthood, and through them over all the members of that com. munion. His Lordship here referred to the tenets and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, par- ticularly the practice of confession, to shew how dangerous was the power of the priests, exercised in the way in which it was now practised in Ireland. It was impossible, too, not to see the danger to which the passing of the Bill would expose the Protestant Church There was one remarkable an- swer of Dr. Doyle, given in his evidence before Parliament. Being asked, " Would you diminish the property of the Established Church?" he replied, ' Yes; not, however, as a Priest, but as an Irish- man." Their Lordships must be blind not to see the meaning of this. There was nothing in ihe evidence given by any one of tiie Roman Catholic Bishops in- consistent with the intention of destroying the Pro- testant establishment in Ireland. It was, in fact, eir duty ; their oath and their religion bound them to the destruction of the Established Church. The present Bill, by bringing Roman Catholics nearer to an equality with Protestants, would only increase their desires for complete equality, and then they would struggle for the ascendancy. The Bill would do nothing to tranquillise Ireland ; for religion had nothing to do with the discord that reigned there : the distress of that country arose from the great sub - divisionof property, which gavean unnatural stimulus to population, aud brought forward a beggarly peasantry; that evil was, however, he hoped, cor- recting itself. The proportion of Catholics and Protestants iu Ireland had been grossly mis- stated ; he believed there were not three to one. The Bill brought forward in the other House to alter the Elective Franchise in Ireland, » Tuuld di- prirc | » rrhnp » five hundred thousand people of their privileges, while the Bill before their Lordships, which was to be an" equivalent for the other, would give privileges to perhaps thirty or forty persons. Another Bill in the other House, by paying Catholic Priests, would at once raise up by law an acknowledged Roman Catholic Hierarchy. It was, indeed, almost come to that, for he had seen almanacks, and other books, in which the name of the Titular Roman Catholic Pre- lates were printed in large letters, aud the names of the Protestant Prelates iu small type. Whatever might be the case in other nations, or in a Country circumstanced like ihe United States, it was not compatible with the constitution of this country to admit Roman Catholics to those situations to which the present Bill would render them eligible. Pre- vious to the Revolution of 1688, there were 160 years of religious convulsion iu the country ; since that jeriod there had been more than 130 years of re- gions peace. This peace was owing to the state of our law, which granted toleration to all other re- ligious creeds, supporting, at the same time, the Established Church in a just and reasonable degree of superiority. They were now asked to put Pro- testants and Catholics on the same footing ; and. i they agreed to do so, he was sure the consequence would be religious dissension, and not religious peace. The present system had the experience of its good results to recommend it, and he preferred it, therefore, to the experiment proposed in this Bill, or to any other that be had yet heard suggested. The Earl of HARROWBT supported the Bill : he considered the exclusion of Roman Catholics from the privileges they claimed as a source of weakness to the country. The LORD CHANCELLOR shewed the inconsistency of the present Bill, in every point to which its objects were alleged to tend: if professed to give securities to the Protestant Church, while, in fact, i destroyed the substance of all those Statutes by whicl the Protestant ascendancy was guaranteed ; the title, 44 Pack of nonsense," which had been given to this Bill by a Noble Friend ( Lord Liverpool) was full as respectable a one as it deserved. He had taken a positive oath, by which he bound himself to deny the Spiritual or Temporal jurisdiction of any foreign Prince, Potentate, or Prelate, within these realms, which, so help him God! he should not violate But if this Bill passed, there would br an authorised intercourse between the Roman Catholics and the Pope, under Ihe snperintendance of Roman Catholic Commissioners, who themselves refused to give a pledge of the Supremacy of the Crown. He did not think that in the discussion in that House or else- where the question at issue had been as largely put as it ought. They could not refuse to English Catholics what they granted to the Irish; then they would be bound to put the other Dissenters iu this country on an equal footing with the Catholics; so that it would ultimately come to this— that all the bulwarks and fences which their ancestors had pro. vided for the safety of the Protestant Church would turn out to be wholly useless. But let their Lord ships beware what they were doing if they took these away. As to the measure for giving stipends and salaries to the Priests of the Roman Catholic Church, could their Lordships refuse them in that case to clerical persons of other persuasions? They had heard much of the Constitution of the States of America. He trusted that the experiment that had been made there, of a government without a religious establishment, might, for the peace of Ihe people, succeed; but it was not because such experiment was 011 trial, that he would agree to surrender the rights and security of that Church Establishment iu this country, which had contributed so essentially to its glory, prosperity, and happiness. He saw Reformers, Revolutionists, aud some of the best persons in the country, united to carry this measure; yet he had been called a Reformer, because he had declared his firm belief—- and it was his firm belief— that an infinite majority of the English people were adverse to it— that they were disquieted by the apprehension of its nccomplishment— and that if it did pass, it would give great pain and dissatisfac- tion. After 25 years* deep consideration of the subject, he could not, consistently with his sense of duty, and the station which he held under the Crown, give his support to the Bill. The House then divided ; the numbers were, for the Bill— Present 84; Proxies 40; total 130. Against the Bill— Present 113: Proxies 65; total 178. Majority against the Bill 48i the Bill was, consequently, lost. [ The majority is greater by uine than that which rejected a similar Bill in 1821.} flUsuilaneous Uutdli^ nce. To shew the interest excited by the division in the House of Lords, on Wednesday, it may be mentioned that several. expresses were immediately sent off to Dublin, via Liverpool, without even waiting for the reports in the Morning Papers.— The majority of 48 would have been iucreased but for the absence of the Duke of Northumberland and Lord Prudhoe, who did not leave Proxies ; the deaths of the Bishop of Salisbury and Lord Whit- worth also deprived the majority of two votes. On Tuesday night there were 66 petitions pre- sented to the House of Lords, which, with 442 previously presented, make 508 petitions to their Lordships against the Bill for further concessions to the Roman Catholics; and 31 petitions for the Bill, which, with 51 before presented, made 82 petitions forwarded to their Lordships in favour of ' he Bill. Of late years there has not been such a magni- ficent and expensive display of courtly stale aud diplomatic greatness, as that about to be made at Paris and Khcims, by the Duke of Northumber- land. The plate which his Grace took with him was insured as being of the value of one hundred and twenty thousand pounds, and Ihe jewels are reckoned at the same amount. A few days ago a box w; as sent containing the Duchess's jewels, which was insured at £ 60,000 value. The Duke may be absent about six weeks, and, at lliie rcloSt moderate caculalion, it is thought he will expend £ 50,000; The Parisians are in admiration of his splendour, and wonder at his disinterestedness in paying ail the cost out of his own pocket. LATE EARL OF WHITWORTH.— The Earl of Whitworth, G. C. B. & c. & c. & c. was sometime Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and representative of his late Majesty in several important missions abroad. His Lordship's loss is universally la- mented by his neighbours, and especially by the poor, lo whom he was a sincere, active, and judi- cious friend. It was his habit and delight to employ, in occupations suited to their strength, poor old men and women about his house, garden, park, and farm. In this useful charily he spent some thousand pounds a year; and the aid privately rendered to objects of compassion in other ways by the Earl and his consort, the Duchess of Dorset, were very extensive. He was an amiable ami kind- hearted man in all the relations of private life, and was considered by all who knew him one of the best examples of an English gentleman. ASSESSED TAXES.— By an Act of this Session, the duties 011 internal windows in dwelling houses ( called borrowed lights) are repealed; we recom- mend such of our readers as are charged with the duties for such windows, to give notice thereof 10 assessors, who are empowered to make the re- duction in the current year. A wager was made a few days ago, by two trades- men of Brighton— one- of Ihem a close- set lift le one, aud the other a very tall huge man, in consequence of the latter boasting of his superior strength of body; by which the little one undertook to carry a considerable distance, " two sacks of wheat, each to contain four bushels, 60ibs. weight." The little one accordingly procured one sack, and put four bushels of wheat into it, and then drawing ihe other sack over it, contended that bulb sacks con taiued four bushels, which lie carried with ease. The stakeholder derided that both sacks did con- tain tbe quantity agreed on, and the money WJ. B handed over. A rich old genlleman constantly calculated the state of his health by the rise and fall of the mer- cenary attentions of pretended friends and relatives. Some little time before he died, his physicians would have persuaded him that he was much better; it would not do; he had just discovered he had six fatal symptoms in his case— three present* and three visits in one day. front his dear friend Mr. H. VYOOL.— The lamb and sheep's wool imported into Great Britain in three years 1822, 1823, and 1824, was respectively 19,058,0801 bs. 19,366,725d> s. and 22,550,090lbs.' exclusive of about 1,000,000 more from Ireland. More thaii one- half of the wool im- ported comes from Germany, and about one- fourth from Spain. The following advertisement appears in a Cork paper A. lady about twenty- five years of age, of amiable disposition, and agreeable and lively mannpiis, rather pretty, with a good figure, and perfectly her own mistress, has no objection to live i iv the country, & possessed of a genteel competency, being- desirous to enter into the marriage state, would be happy to meet with a young gentleman under the same circumstances, and of the same opinion." Three men, convicted of horsestealing in the late Western Circuit, have been hUnged ; and there is reason to suppose that the Judges will continue to make severe examples for this too prevalent Crime. CHESTER POLICE.— On Monday, the ffith inst. Thomas Hughes, alias Sharback, alias Col. Hughes, alias Lieut. Hughes of the Royal Buffs, Was brought before the Magistrates, daudyly dressed, in a green single- breasted coat, leather inexpres- sibles, and top- boots.— life was followed from the gaol by a great number of people. The prosecutor was how called for and made, his appearance. Hfe elated his name to be David Bfeynoh, and the follow- ing is an outline of his narrative :— He said he had lived at the Raven,' in Shrewsbury, and Was going to reside at the Red Lion, in Warrington'On Satnr- day preceding he picked up the prisoner near Shrewsbury, who was addressed by letters found 011 his person, as 44 Lieutenant T. G. Hughes, Royal Buffs, Wyle Cop," and they got on the Chester coach together. Proud of the honour of Ins new Military acquaintance, be had an uncommonly pleasant passage to this city, but on arriving near the Bridge, the 44 Lieutenant" wished to dismount, and go into a house near the Bridge; Bevnon. however, prevailed on his gallant friend to go with him to the Golden Lion, where the coach slopped, and here he called for a bottle of eider, and by way of improving it, blanded it with some of the re » i eogniac. The prosecutor aud the 44 Lieutenant" there comfortably hob'd and nob'd together, for about an hour, when the former pulled out his pocket book ( then containing two £ 5 notes, of the Bank of England, three guineas, two sovereigns, and a num- ber of half- sovereigns) for the purpose of paying the shot, being determined to see the 44 Lieutenant of the Buffs" clear of all expense. The brandy and the cider were paid for, and then, owing to early rising, and the fatigue of the journey, poor Mr. Beynon took it into his bead lo go to sleep, leaving the 44 Lieutenant" to quaff over the Herefordshire nectar solus. We have hot heard how the 44 Lieutenant" employed himself in the mean time, but Mr. Beynon, " Seemed alone To wander in his sleep, thro' ways unknown, Guileless and dark!!" Not so Mr. B.' s property, which will be seen in the sequel. As is very often the case, after a sound imp of a couple of hours, he awoke, and had the mis- fortune to discover that, during his gallivanting with Queen Mab, he had tired out the patience of the 14 Lieutenant," who bad decamped, without saying 44 good bye," and on searching his pocket, he also f. » uud out that his pocket- book and cash had been served with a habeas, and were 44 11011 est inventus!" 44 Where's the Lieutenant?" was the first inquiry, but no Lieutenant was at band— he was under march- ing orders, and the credulous Mr. B. thought it was now high time to bestir himself. Application was made to Mr. Dawson, Intendant of Police, and a clue being obtained, he and Mr. Hill, Conductor of the Watch, mounted a gig, and drove off to Flint, on Sunday afternoon, and ihere they found the 44 Lieu- tenant," who had made good his retreat into a snug parlour, and was piously employed in reading the Bible! He was there searched, but neither book nor cash was found; the 44 Lieutenant," however, was not deficient in paper currency, as there were seen on his person drafts on an Holvwell Bank, for the small sums of £ 500 and £ 300! whether they would be honoured, or not, is not now the subject of our inquiry. He wa9 then brought back to Chester, having previously had an interview with Mr. Beynon, whose acquaintance he at first disclaimed, but which at last he reluctantly acknowledged. The facts connected with the parties being at the Golden Lion, were proved by Miss Wilkinson, the bar- maid, who believed that no one went into the parlour, with the exception of herself, whilst Beynon and the " Lieutenant" were discoursing together.— The 44 Lieutenant" on the contrary declared, that the coachman and several market people were drinking together in the Parlour, which was positively denied. Other facts connected with this matter, being ex- pected to present ihemselves, the 44 Lieutenant" was committed to quod, for further examination.— Chester Chronicle. His Grace the Lord Primate of Ireland hae given the sum of £ 5000 towards the erection of a Fever Hospital iu Armagh. Cure for Amateurs.— A Hint.— Mr. Lennan, a saddler in Dublin, was most seriously stage- struck, and volunteered to act Major O^ Ftahertyi in which he was execrable; after this was over,; however, he exhibited himself at the Cockle Club, where the facetious Isaac Sparks presided^ and Jack Long was Vice Presideut : they made' him extremely tipsy, and then gave him in rharge? to Ihe watch, for having murdered Major O'Fla^ herty, and left the poor saddler all night in durance vile, who afterwards stuck to making saddles, and nevermore was found guilty of murdering Majors, even on the stage. BREAKING PRISON.— OII Sunday evening, the 1st instant, about eight o'clock, seventeen of the criminal prisoners made an attempt to break out of Glasgow gaol. A young man, who is al present incarcerated for debt, having learnt, during the dav, that such an attempt was in contemplation, communi- cated his suspicions to two of the turnkeys; and, in consequence, most of the efficient hands remained in the gaol during the afternoon. When they went up, as usual, to lock up the prisoners for the night, Ihe moment they entered the top ward, the whole of the pjisoners rushed 011 them, and, after a struggle ; took the keys from them, and locked two of litem up in separate cells. One who held the keys was dreadfully bitten in the back of the hand befere he would give them up. Being thus masters of the flat and the keys, the prisoners made their way to the chapel. Their plan appeared to be to lower them- selves lo the roof of the iron- rooms, to break through the Justiciary Hall, and make their exit by drawing the bolts of the frontdoors. For this purpose they had Iheir blankets formed into ropes; these they tied to the benches of the chapel, and hung over the windows They had then only eighteen feet to de- scend to the iron rooms. A dreadful scene of con- fusion and uproar ensued in the interior of the prison. The gaoler, being apprised of the mutiny, took such measures as were within his power to restore disci- pline, There was luckily on the spot a young man who had been visiting Ihe debtor above referred fo. He agreed to run to the police office, where he found nobody but the Constable, and Mr. Smith the hook- seller. He then proceeded to the house of the Sttper- iutendanl, and learnt that he was visiting Mr. Spree. I. Thither he accordingly went, and the com- pany immediately proceeded in a body to the gaol. Bv this time Mr. Smith had arrived, with a number of gentlemen whom he had collected in the coffee- room, and a supply of cutlasses had arrived from Ihe police office. Meanwhile the gaoler acted with great firmness, armed with a large biunderbtus, he stood in one of the couits, and presented it to the window as often as any of the prisoneis attempted to descend. By this expedient he kept tlieni inside, till the assist- ance already spoken of arrived. The necessary pre- cautious were then taken ; the second sei of keys were used, and, without more difficulty, the prisoners were secured and placed in cells.
