Alderman and Stationer, has been elected Lord Mayor of London, for the year ensuing j and on Friday, Ihe new Sheriffs, Alderman Croivder and John Kelly, Esq. were sworn inlo office. At Ihe settlement of the Foreign Stock Exchange, on Friday, Mr. J. T. Walls, one of the principal brokers, was declared a defaulter. His transactions involved a loss of near £ 50,000. Ou Tuesday lasl, Ihe Darlington and Stockton Railway was formally opened by the proprietors, for the use of the public, ft is a tingle railway of 25 miles in length, and will open the London market to tiie collieries in the western part of the couutv ol Durham, as well as facilitate the obtaining of fuel to the country along its line, and the northern parts of Yorkshire. A train of carriages was attached to a loco- motive engine of the most improved construction, anil built by Mr. George Stephen, son, in the following order -.— 1 I. oco. motive engine with the engineer and assistants— 2. Tender, with coats and water— next, six waggons loaded with coals and flour then an elegant covered coach, with the committee and other proprietors of the Railway— then twenty one wag- gons, fitted up on the occasion for passengers— and, last of all, six waggons loaded with coals, making altogether a train of thirty eight carriages, exclusive of the engine and tender Tickets were distributed to the Dumber of near • 330, for those winch it was intended should occupy the coach and waggons; but such was the pressure and crowd, that both loaded and empty carriages were instantly filled with passengers. The signal being- give'B, the engine started off with this immense train hf'carriages In some parts the speed was frequently twelve miles per hour; and in one place, for a short distance, near Darlington, fifteen miles per hour; and, at that time, the number of passen- gers were counted to 450, which, together with the coals, merchandize, and carriages, would amount to near ninety tons. After some little rielav in arranging the procession, the engine, with her load, arrived at Darlington, a distance of eigtit miles and three- quarters, in sixty- five minutes, averaging about eight miles an hour. ' Six carriages, loaded with coals, intended for Darlington, were then left behind ; and, after obtaining a fresh supply of water, and arranging the procession to accommodate a band of music and passengers from Darlington, the engine set ol? again. Part of the railway from Darlington to Stockton has little d- clivity, and in one place is quite level; and, as in' the Upper part it was intended to try the speed of the engine, in this part it was intended to prove her capability of dragging a heavv load, and certainly Ihe performance excited the astonishment of all present, lind exceeded the most sanguine expectations of everyone conversant, with the subject. The engine arrived at Stockton in three hours and seven minutes after leaving Darlington, in- cluding stops, the distance being nearly 12 miles, which is at the rate of four miles an hour, and upon the level part of the railway ; the number of passengers in the waggons were counted about 550, and several more citing to the carriages on each side, so that the whole number could not be less than 600 — Newcastle Courant. Fortunes to an immense amount exchanged owners at the late Done- astir Races. Several ve- terans of ihe Ini'f among Ihe nobility have losl lo the amount of fifty, sixty, and even seventy I lion, sand fiounds. Culley, the pugilist, has pocketed twenty two thousand. This is. taking the conceit but of the knowing ones with a vengeance. THE ISLE OP MAN— Mr. George Robins, of London, passed through Liverpool a month since, on Iiis way to Castle Moua, the seat of Ihe Duke of Atholj iu'the Isle of Man. His object, it is under- stood, was to value the sovereign rights, Ihe hishnprick, and all the church patronage, together with the vast possessions of the Noble Duke throughout the island. An act of Parliament was passed last year, authorising the Government to purchase the'whole. It is believed thai Ihe amount will exceed any valuation that has ever been made by one transfer of property On Sunday evening, ihe 18th ult. as Mr. Thomas Adams, ( formerly with Mr. Kelsall, saddler, of . Stafford,) oil returning from Newport, where he had been to see some friends, was descending ihe hill near Forton loll gate, al a quick pace, his horse fell near Ihe bridge, by which he was thrown with great violence, and pitching on his head, re ceived a severe cut and contusion on the temple, and a concussion of the brain, A young man in his return from Newport lo his master's, al Sutlon, happening to be passing al ihe time, procured some assistance, anil removed the body of Mr. Adams lo a neighbouring public- house, where Ihe attendance of a surgeon from Newport was had wilh Ihe utmost expedition, but notwithstanding every exertion of medical skill, Mr. Adams lingered in a stale of insensibility until Ihe following Sunday, when he expired.

HPHE COMMITTEE of the intended A BIRMINGHAM and LIVERPOOL RAIL- WAY COMPANY, regretting that unforeseen Circumstances have hitherto prevented them ad- dressing- the Subscribers, deem it incumbent on them now to state, that in Conformity with tin Instructions and Powers criven to the Committee, they caused a Line of Railway to he surveyed from Birmingham to Liverpool, wilh Branch Lines to Chester aud the Staffordshire Potteries ; and the requisite preliminary Measures having-, after great Exertions and Labour, been completed, a Petition for Leave to bring- in a B ll to effect the Objects of the Company was presented to the House of Commons early in the last Session. The Petition experienced g- reat Opposition, originating- iri Causes which can- not fail to be readily understood and appreciated by thp Subscribers, and after a protracted Strngg- le of Three Weeks, in the Committee to which the Bill was referred, and in the Select Standing- Order Committee ( a Circumstance altog- ether new in fhe Annals of Parliament), the Petition was rejected, uponfthe alleged Ground ofthe Omission of a sing- le Township in the Notices, although the Parish in which such Township was locally situated regularly inserted therein. The Promoters of the Bill were thus precluded the Opportunity of demonstrating- before Parliament the Utility and Practicability of their Undertaking-, an Opportunity which they had a Rig- ht to expect would not have been objected to by their Opponents, who uniformly asserted, that the Plans ofthe intend- ed Company were fallacious and impracticable. The Committee have, however, great Satisfaction in stating, that the practical Efficiency ofthe Loco- motive Engine, and its Superiority over Horses working- upon Canals, was fully proved by the Evidence adduced before the Committee of the House of Commons on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Bill. The Enquiries also which the Committee have made, and the additional Information which they have obtained in pursuing the Objects of the Com- pany, convince them they can redeem the Pledg- e originally given ; namely, that the Railway, when completed, will effect a more direct, expeditious, and cheap Means of Communication than at present exists for the Transport of Produce and Merchandize between Birmingham, Liverpool, Chester, and the Potteries, affording- at the Same Time a liberal Remuneration to the Proprietor. And further, the Committee have no Hesitation in asserting-, that as a Part of a g- reat and direct Line of Communica- tion from London to Liverpool, and thence to Ire- land, their Undertaking is peculiarly an Object of National Importance, independent of the Consider ation that every new or improved Mode of Convey- ance is in itseli'a legitimate Object of Public Inter- est. They cannot, omit also to bring" under the Consideration of the Subscribers the Fact, that the proposed Application of this new Principle of Transit has already operated most beneficially by the great Alterations and Improvements which have been projected in different Canals exposed to the Competition of Railways, and in none more strik- ingly than in the Instance of the Birmingham Canal, where, in Addition to the Decision of the Company to improve their Line from Birmingham to Wolver- hampton at an Expense of upwards of £ 100,000, they have, with a View of opening a more direct Communication with Liverpool, projected the Form- ation of a new Proprietary to cut a Canal from Wol vei hampton to Nanlwich, a Distance of about 40 Miles, upon or near the very Line of the proposed Railway, thereby giving a direct Negative tothe Assertion of the Opponents of the Railway, that the present. Lines of Transit are sufficient.. Convinced, therefore, of the Utility aud Practica- bility of their Undertaking, and of its high National Importance— convinced also that the Expectations of Advantage which have been held out to the Pro- prietors will be fully realized,— the Committee have felt it their Duty to decide upon renewing their Application to Parliament in the next Session, with which View they are prosecuting the necessary Measures, and they have great Satisfaction iu stating to the Subscribers that they possess ample Funds for the Purpose. The Committee, since tbe Rejection of the Petition by the Committees ofthe House of Commons, have been engaged in making up the Accounts of the Undertaking, and having prepared a full Statement of the Receipts and Expenditure, the Subscriber! are informed it may be inspected on Application to the Solicitor, or the London Agent, or to the Chair- man of the respective Local Committees. The Committee have further the Satisfaction of J stating that the Delay which has been thus imposed upon them will, in some Degree, prove of Advan- tage to the Measure ; as it has afforded the Com- mittee an Opportunity of re- surveying- their intended Line, and of adopting such Improvements as may be suggested by able and experienced Engineers. Upon a Review, therefore, of the whole Proceed- ings, the Committee cannot doubt but they shall now succeed in laying down a Line of Railway, the evident Advantages of which cannot f » il to insure ( he Sanction of Parliament.

ITITETTLFONOMFF STMIHFFFIUE* INDIA.— r($ ee4th page.)-— Arracan isthecapiial I of a very extensive territory of the same name, constituting one of the component kingdoms of Ibe Bvrvian Empire., Another of the integral states of this empire ( the kingdom of Assam) has long since submitted to our authority ; and Cachar and Pegisubordinate states of the same rank, have manifested unequivocally their disposition to declare for England against their late tyrant. The golden presence" of Ormnerapoora has therefore now no refuge left but in the courage and fidelity of bis native subjects of Hithertp they have proved both brave and faithful; but it is scarcely to be feared that they can ohTer any effectua! resistance, to tlie arms of an invader whose march has been hitherto so triumphantly victorious. The capture of Arraean, which stands upon a goo^ harbour, is of great value in securing for our army a safe point either for embarkation or for landing, thus removing at. once all the dangers incident to a protracted retreat, and placing the British ire immediate contact with the sources of reinforce- ments and supplies.— The best consequence of this1 and all our other successes over the barbarians of fhe East is the proof which it. affords to them and to ourselves lhat it is at any time easy for us to chastise them ; and that therefore we need not encumber ourselves with unprofitable possessions' merely as a precaution of defence.— Tbe establish, ment of this proposition will teach the neighbouring; Princes of Asia, that while they mu;; respect the power of England* they have no cause to , be I jealous of her ambition; an impression, if ii generally prevail, which will go further than any thing else can, to ensure the peace and security of India.

SHREWSBURY, SEP*. 29.- ROMAN CATHOLIC QUESTION'. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, It was with great pleasure I observed, in your Journal of yesterday, a Welsh Translation of the Speech of His Royal Highness the Duke of York, and the exposure of the designs of thai host of recreant ( not to say miscreant) Irishmen,' who, from the other side of the Atlantic, would feed the embers of rebellion in a country' which lliey have already injured with so much atrocity and with so little remorse. The Address of the Duke of York cannot be too widely disseminated: . the rank and peculiar situation of the Speaker, and the im- portance of the subject to which his speech related, render it of paramount importance that his observations should be circulated' ill the Vernacular tongue of every portion of the inhabit- ants of Protestant Britain. I am truly appre- hensive that the Question of Catholic Emanci- pation, as weighed by the great mass of the Protestant population, and as entertained by the select few whose province it is generally to ad. • minister the political affairs of this Nation, is totally and essentially a different thing. With il Ihe " great mass of the Protestant population," comprising some of the Nobility, many of the Gentry, and nearly the whole of the middle class of the community, as also such of the humbler classes as in this land of Bible and Religions education have imbibed just views of the Protestant Faith ( and these may be said to be a countless multitude J, the Question of Catholic Emanci pat ion is viewed as a struggle between Light and Darkness, Truth and Error, Knowledge and Ignorance, Liberty and Slavery ! Ami I hesitate not to assert, that they view the recent conduct of many of their Representatives with that intensity of feeling which arises from an apprehension lest the ark of the PROTESTANT FA ITH is about to be sacrificed to the unhallowed objects of Political and Family Interest, to gratify the views and feelings of a few, whose connexions are notoriously allied to the heads of the Rom Calholic Faith in this kingdom. True it is that these connexions are superabundant in wealth, and that their ramifications extend through a large portion of the British Peerage, aud of that portion too who have a commanding influence in the return of Members to the Lower House. This, Sir, increases the danger to the Protestant Interest, and it of necessity increases the appre. { tension of those who hold the Faith, for which the blood of Protestant Martyrs was shed, in veneration proportioned to the vast and eternal views of CHRISTIAN PIETY. I need not tell you, Sir,— but il may not be amiss to remind some of you; readers,— that a large and most respectable class of Dissenters— a class which forms uo mean part of His Majesty's Protestant subjects— never would have become Dissenters from the Established Church, but for the ordinances promulgated aitd enforced by Kings and Ministers who were either secret or avowed Papists. To this Papistical spirit we owe the weakening cf Ihe Protestau Established Church by the secession of about - 2000 Ministers,— men exemplary in their moral and religious conduct,— and whose views were a? much of the Episcopalian stamp as those who now occupy ( and with great credit) a large portion of the Church Benefices of this kingdom. Instead of endeavouring to bind up and heal the wounds of the Protestant Church, by trying to effect an union ( devoutly to be wished!) which shall erad cate the schism thus wickedly created, our Legis, laiors seem intent upon inflicting an injury tha would open the way for breaches of every descrip tion in our PROTESTANT CONSTITUTION— and this merely to gratify the Political views and Personal feelings of a few Families of great wealth and distinction in the Country. But will this be permitted? 1 trow not. And I won earnestly conjure every man who values the Pro iestant Faith, as a " pearl of great price," not to trust with his vote or interest any Candidate whe will not pledge himself on this vital Question t support our Tolerant and Protestant Constitution in Church and State, as by Law established, ao- ainst the innovation both of Popery and of modern Liberalism, for under the mask of Ihe tatter will the battle he foutjht. I have already adverted to one class of Dissenters ; and I shall conclude by requesting that you will insert the following letter of the late Rev JOHN WESLEY, who was the founder of another class of Protestants, who, if not actually Dissenters, are by many con- sidered as such : the letter will, however, prove, that Mr. Wesley was no more prepared to bend the knee to Papacy, than were the revered Messrs. HENRY. There are some points in it deserving the consideration of every PROTESTANT. Sept. 29, 1825. ils reasoning futile, and its objects malicious o » tiie contrary, I think the style of it is clear, easy, nd natural, the reasoning ( in general) strong and conclusive ; the object; br design, kind and benevo-' ent. And in pursuance of tlie same kind and enevoleui design, namely, to preserve our happy Constitution, 1 shall endeavour to confirm the sub- ee of that Tract, by a few PLAIN ARGUMENTS. With Persecution 1 have nothing to do. , 5 perse- cute no man for his religious principles. Let there Boundless a Freedom in Religion' as any man may conceive. But this does nol touch the point. I will set religionvtrue or false, utterly Out of the question. Suppose the Bible, if you please, be a fable, and the Koran to l'e the word of God I consider not, whether ihe Romish religion be true or false, 1 build nothing on one or the other supposition. Therefore, away with all your common place declamation about intolerance and persecution for religion'. Suppose every word of Pope Pius's Creed to be true; suppose the Council of Trent to have been infallible; yet, 1 insist upon it, thai no government, not Roman Catholic, ought to tolerate men of the Roman Catholic Persuasion. I prove bv a " plain argument; ( let him answer it that can)— That no Roman Catholic does, or can give security for his allegiance or peaceable beluniour, I prove thus. It is a Roman Catholic maxim, established not by private men, hut by a public Council, that, 4 no faith is to be kept with heretics.' This has been openly avowed by the Council of Constance; but it never was openly disclaimed. ( Whether private persons avow, or disavow it.) It is a fixed maxim of the Church of Home. But as long as it is so, nothing can bp more plain, than thai the members of that Church, CAN give NO reasonable SECURITY TO ANY GOVERNMENT, of their allegiance or peaceable be haviour. Therefore ihey OUGHT NOT TO BE TO- LERATED by any Government, Protestant, Ma ho. melon, or Pagan. 44 You may say, 4 nay but they will take oaths of allegiance;' True, five hundred oaths; but tli maxim, 4 tro" faith is to be kept w ith heretics,' sweeps them all away as a spider's web. So that still, no governors that are not Roman Catholics can hav< anv security of their allegiance. 44 Again, those who acknowledge the spiritna power " of the Pope can give no security of thei allegiance to any Government; but all Roman Catholics acknowledge this. 4< The power of granting pardon for all sins past present, and to co. ne, is and has been for many centuries one branch of his spiritual power. Bu those who acknowledge him to have this spiritua power, can give no security for their allegiance since they believe the Pope can pardon rebellions. High Treason, and all other sins whatsoever. 44 The power ofdispensiug with any promise, oath, or vow, is another branch of the spiritual power of the Pope. And all ivho acknowledge his spiritual power, must acknowledge this. But.. whoever ac- knowledges the dispensing power of the Pope, can give no security of his allegiance to any oiher Government. Oaths and promises are none, they are light as air, a dispensation makes them all null and void Nay, not only the Popp, hut even a Priest,' ca pardon sins! This is an essential doctrine of th Church of Rome. But they that acknowledge this, cannot possibly ^ ite any security to any Government Oaths are no security at all; for the PRIEST CAN PARDON BOTH PERJURF AND HL& H TREASON. 44 Setting then religion aside,' it is plain that upon principles of reason no government ought to tolerat* men who cannot give ahy security to that Government for their allegiance aha peaceable behaviour. Bu this no , Romanist can do, not only while he hold: hat * No faith is to be kept with Heretics,' but as _ as he acknowledges either priestly absolution, r the spiritual power of the Pope. But the late Act, you say, does not either tolerate or encourage Roman Catholics.' I appeal to matter of fact. Do not the .. Romanists themselves nderstand it is a torer'ation? You know they do. And does it not already ( let alone what it may do by nd bye) encourage them to preach openly, to build ha pels at Bath and elsewhere, to raise seminaries, nd to make numerous converts every ddy io their intolerant, persecuting principles f I can point out, f need be, several persons, and they are increasing But 4 nothing dangerous fo English liberty is lo be apprehended from them:' I am not certain of that. Some time since a Romish Priest Came to one knew, and after talking wilh her largely, broke out, 4 You are no heretic! You have the experience fa real Christian!' 4 And would you,' she asked, burnjne alive?' He said 4 God forbid \— Unle$ iii were for the good of the Churcji!." 44 Now, w hat security Could she have had for her ife, if il had depended ou that man ? The good of he Church would have burst all the ties of truth, usti'Ce, and mercy. Especially when seconded by he absolution of a priest, or ( if need were) a papal pardon. If any One please to answer this, and to set his name, I shall probably reply ; but the productions of anonymous writers I do not promise to take any notice of. I am, Sir^ vour humble servant, JOHN WESLEY. " City Road, Jan. 21, 178')." Meeting for Public Discussion IN CAR LOW. This meeting, of which public notice bad been veu, was held iu ( allow ou the22d. At half- past ten o'clock Colonel Rochfoit took ihe Chair, and uo rgyman of the Roman Catholic persuasion ap- leanng, the Chairman called on Doctoi Singer to oceed in support of ihe first proposition. The Reverend Gentleman then addressed the meeting; tiie following is an extract from his speech : — Rev. J. H. SINGER. — In obeying your call, and that of my Reverend brethren who surround me, to ddress this meeting, I rise with a mingled feeling of pleasure aud regrei— of pleasure, because 1 have been counted, worthy to take my place among those, who, on this day, are to defend the charter of their common salvation, ihe ground of their coOMon hope ; ami of regret, whether I consider mys$ fj or look around at my brethren, * * * # Since last you occupied that chair, the mysterious Providence of God has removed one, the delight of his friends, the champion of his church, the faithful labourer in the Lord's vineyard ; he would now, if pared, fill the situation w hich I at present occupy ; he would have animated you by his zeal, elevated you hy his piety, and instructed you by his informa- tion.'* Uniting- apparently dissimilar qualities, and blending them into an harmonious whole, joining the utmost decision of character with the greatest blandness of manner and kindness of disposition— possessing the firm intellectual courage of the man, and ihe mild and winning affection of the child, he was eminently fitted by the benevolence which disarms* and the talent which arms, to mingle iii such ( Scenes as ( hese. If he did not remove, he softened opposition, and the adversary who remained unconvinced by the strength of his arguments, went way with tiie anxious desire of becoming bis friend. The cause of the Bible may find an advocate as eloquent, though it will be difficult— it may find one as zealous, though such Christian Zeal is rare indeed; it may meet wilh information as various, and bene- lehce as active, but it may despair of discovering- such an union of these qualities as dignified ami adorned the character of Wingfield. May our la- mented friend uot have died, as lie has not lived, in vain ! and while wilh the eye of sorrow we view the grave closing on his mortal remains, or with the glance of faith see him rising from the Church militant here, to take his station above, among the members of ihe Church triumphant— may his exam- ple recommend to us those precepts to which that example was conformed ; the personal study and application of that Book, by which his course was directed, to defend and illustrate which, he lived and he died! Before I call your attention, Sir, to the proposition which 1 am called upon to defend, I may be permitted to advert to the circumstances connected with this present meeting; it may not be unnecessary to point out the reasons by which we have been actuated, and ou which we would claim the appro- bation of the public. You doubtless recollect, Sir, the uncalled- tor interference which look place at the anniversary meetings of the Bible Society during ihe hist year, and the unprecedented claims put forward by individuals not members of the Society, to stop their proceedings, and protest against their principles. This town, and this room, witnessed such au intrusion, and ihe manner iu which the discussion which was then conceded, had its termina- tion in disgraceful tumult; you doubtless, recollect, when that meeting was prematurely brought to a close, though many individuals would have gladly spoken in defence of the Society, one of the gentle- men who took a part in the proceedings of the day, proposed to the Reverend opponents of the Bible Society, that a certain number of clergymen on each le should be chosen, to discuss the matter publicly The Miseries of a Bacliclor. I would not advise any single gentleman hastily to conclude that he i's in distress. Bachelors are dis- contented, and take wives— what do ihey gain by the change? 44 We know," ihe wise man has said, i" what we are ; but we know not what we may be." In estimating the happiness of householders, I had imagined all tenants to he like myself— mild, for- bearing, punctual, and contented ; but I 41 kept house" three years, and was never out of hot water the whole time ! 1 did manage, after some trouble, to get fairly into a creditable mansion— just missing one, by a stroke of good fortune, which had a brazier's shop at the back of it, ami was always shewn at hours when the workmen went to dinner: — and sent a notice to the papers, that 44 a bachelor of sober habits, having a larger residence than he wanted, would dispose of half of it to a family of respectability." But the whole world seemed to be, and I think is, in a plot to drive me out of my senses. In the first ten days of my new dignity, 1 was visited by about twenty tax- gatherers, half of them with claims in arrear that I had never heard of, and the other half with Claims far exceeding my expectation. The householder seemed to be the minister's milch cow— tiie positive scape- goat of the whole commun- ity ! I was called ou for house- tax, window. tax, land- tax, and servant's tax, poor's rale, sewers* rate, pavement- rate, aud scavenger's rate ! I had to pay for watering streets on which other people rod drove, and walked— for lighting lamps which other people saw by— for maintaining watchmen, who slept all night— and for building edifices which I never entered ;— and I never knew that the country was taxed till that moment! Then one scoundre' came to inform me that 1 was " drawn for the mili- tia,'*— and offered to 44 get me off," on payment of a sum of money. Another, rascal insisted that I was 44 chosen constable," and actually brought the insignia of office to my door. Then I had petitions to read ( in writing) from all the people who chose to he in distress— personal beggars, who penetrated A LETTER FROM THE REV. MR. JOHN WESLEY, MA. To the Printer of the Public Advertiser. u — Some time ago, a pamphlet was sent to me, entitled 4 An Appeal from ihe Protestant Association, to the People of Great Britain.' A day or two since, a kind of answer to this was put into my hand, which pronounces 4 its style contemptible, FREE TRADE IN CORN. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, In your last Journal, there i3 a statement, which, though short, is of the first importance to the Landed and Farming Interests of this Kingdom I allude to a paragraph which gives the Prices of Foreign Grain put free on board from Dantzic and the Sound Dues paid, and Ihe prices at which such Grain may be sold, when allowed to betaken out of bond, and brought into the British Market A comparison of the Average prices of Foreign Grain thus purchased, put free on board, and Sound Dues paid, according to the statement i your last Journal, and of similar Grain in this kingdom, according lo the last Gazette Average, is ( per Winchester bushel) as follows :—• DANTZIC. BRITISH. Wheat. 27s. Od. Wheat 65s. 18d Bar lev lis. 5d. Barley 41*. lOd Oats.* 8s. 9d. Oats 26s. 3d Peas 15s. 6d. Peas 48s. Od We have, Sir, heard much of a new system of Political Economy— we have heard much of the advantages that would ( not yet proved!) arise from a Free Trade in Corn. There has been much fine writing out of Parliament on the subject there has been much fine speaking in Parliament upon the subject. But 1 humbly conceive, Sir, that the question is one of solid fact, aud not of florid discussion ; and I would ask any of th writers or speakers of the New School to answer me the following plain queries : — Comparing the above prices, and presuming ( hat from a certain date a Free Trade in Corn ( or any thing approaching lo it) were permitted, and allowing, as every one must, that the Farmer would still have Rent, Tithes, and Poor and Hi way Rates to pay; Labourers to pay; and his Family and Servants to provide for and maintain What ought to be, and what must be, the price or rent of Land per acre? What must be the composition for Tithes per acre ? What could he afford to pay for the Poor or for Highways? What wages could he afford to pay to his Labourers and his Servants? On what scale, and according to what condition of life, could his Family be provided for and brought up ? In what degree would Pauperism be increased in our Agricultural Districts? What could the Farmer afford to lay out with the Tradesmen, & c. wilh whom he is now in the habit of dealing? I need not enlarge upon these points. Perhaps some of our Political Economists of the New School may be inclined to furnish answers to these queries. If they do, it would be au additional favour if they would state what is the condition of Ihe labouring and other agricultural population in those foreign countries whence this cheap Corn is procured! I am, Sir, Your's, & c. AGRICOLA. September 30, 1825. OLD BAILEY.— F. Wilson, alias Ogleby, alias Carter, alias Cooper, was convicted on Saturday, of having defrauded R, Coles, cabinet maker, of Southampton, of two promissory notes amounting to £ 700, under pretence of advancing money on security. Sentence, seven years' transportation, n Dublin; » the proposal was rejected on account of the inconvenience attendant ou leaving their pa- rochial cures, but a pledge was given of opposition future at all similar meetings in Carlow. This pledge was renewed subsequently to the meeting, by one of the Rev. Gentlemen, in a published corre- spondence^ and was never' disowned either at, or fter, the meeting by any of his brethren. To this hreat, the Society of couise paid no attention, xcept that of regulating the admission by tickets, to prevent the leourrence of - similar scenes to those which" disgraced the last year's meeting. It held on the even tenor of its wa. y, arid as usual advertised, nd held, the anniversary meeting of the present ear. The Rev Gentlemen who had given the pledge of attendance, required in a previous Commu- nication' permission to''' interrupt the proceedings, which permission was peremptorily refused,* while liscussion was offered, on the points at issue at' any succeeding period. To this proposal the Reverend Gentlemen seemed to have acceded, by requesting nd retaining tickets of admission for several hours, hough ihey subsequently returned them, and stated heir reasons for declining attendance, in the public prims. The meeting was held, aud you, Sir, can bear testimony to the spirit in w hich it was held— to llie mild and forbearing conduct of Ihe Speakers — to the careful abstainance from every topic, from every word that could by possibility wound the feelings, or excite the indignation of our absent opponents. But sucli did not seem to have had its effect; scarcely had tbe meeting closed, when the nimble individual before you was singled out by one of those gentlemen, and addressed in a letter of pei haps more zeal than charity; iu which the Society which he had advocated was again attacked, he and his brethren again censured, and the reasons of the Roman Catholic clergy for not attending the meeting again stated and enforced. In addition to this, he had hardly retired from Carlow, when a public meeting was called by those very gentlemen who so respected the peace of ihe neighbourhood; this meet- was so circumstanced that it was impossible we could have attended it. I myself did not know of it until after it had been held, and in our absence the same temperate and dignified line of conduct which had b'een pursued here, certainly did hot mark the Rev. gentlemen.— We were spoken of harshly, our principles mis- stated, our practice misrepresented, id every expedient resorted to, which could injure I the cause for which we are interested. Now, Mr. i Chairman, I beseech you to remember, that in all j this we had never imputed unworthy motives to our j opponents— we bad never given to the publie a stricture upon their proceedings, but had left the mode j of acting to the public judgment. When, indeed, their own published reasons were obtruded upon us by them in offensive letters, we did examine their reasons, and proved their insignificance— we weighed them in ihe balance, aud found them wanting— we appealed to the good sense of Carlow, as to the asserted excitation of public feeling; and as to its real cause, we appealed to the knowledge of facts which you, Sir, and your friends, must have had. As to the senseless and irritating accusation of the Bible Society having provided an armed force — we commented on that love of peace which spread itself in ihe irritating and ex parte statements of a mock discussion. In this we but justified ourselves, and remarked on the statements officially obtruded on us; but we did more, for feeling that the resolutions entered into at t his meeting, and the speeches which were delivered there, were calculated to give an unfair impression of the Bible Society and ils advo- cates, we, in the letter which we have read, pressed on our opponents the propriety of a really full and fair discussion. To that letter, Sir, no reply was returned, until a second one was sent lo each of the Gentlemen concerned; and then one, Mr. Kinsella, who had been away from Carlow, replied in an urbane and courteous manner, declining the contest for himself, but stating that he had no authority to peak for his brethren. Under these circumstances, we had no choice. Our opponents had not declined the meeting, and we, therefore, were bound to appear. We knew that the enemies of the Society would impute our proposal to a bravado, and our non- appearance to timidity; and we have, therefore, appeared here this day in, I trust, a spirit of love nd of affection— and we have invited our Roman Catholic brethren to meet us. It becomes nut us to say why they have held back— but we assuredly had no certainty that they would do so, until yon, Sir, called on me to address you. I shall uow proceed lo do so on the business of the day, leaving our motives to be judged of by our actions, requesting yon, Sir, and the meeting, to separate those motives and actions from the cause of the Bible Society, which has no cognizance, knowledge, or concern about this meeting, and humbly trusting that whatever may be the result of this day's proceedings, however the opinion of the public may decide upon us indivi- dually, thai thecauseof religion may not be impeded, that 44 the Gospel of the Redeemer may have free course and be glorified." Having thus, Sir, cast myself and my friends upon the opinion of the public, and laid before you the motives of our proceedings, I shall proceed without further preface. The Reverend Gentleman then proceeded with admirable eloquence to support the first proposition laid down iu the invitation to the Roman Catholic Clergy. He was followed by the Rev. G, Hamilton and Mr. Baruett; the other clergymen present declined ( as no opposition was offered) addressing the meeting. * Mr. Wingfield died on the 6th of Sept. atPowerscourt, of cholera morbus, occasioned by eating too freely of fruit, as stated iu our last Jouraal. into my parlour, to send to Bridewell, or otherwise to g- et rid of. Windows were broken, and 44 nobody" had done it. The key of the street door was lost, and 44 nobody had had il." Then my cook stopped up the kitchen sink, aud the bricklayers look month to open it. Then my gutter ran o^ er, and flooded my neighbour's garret— and I was served with a notice of aii action for dilapidation. And at Christmas!— oh, it was no longer dealing with ones and twos! The whole hundred, on the day after that festival, rose up to devour me. Dustmen, street keepers, lamplighters, turncocks, newsmen, postmen, beadles, scavengers, chimney- sweeps, the whole pecus of parochial servitorship was at my gate before eleven o'clock. Then 44 the waits" came, two sets of 44 waits!"— and fought which should have 44 my honour's bounty." Rival patroles disputed whether I did or did not lie within their 4i beat." At one time there was a doubt as to which of two parishes I belonged ; and I fully expected, that, in order to make sure, I should be visited by the collectors from both.— Meantime the knocker groaned till very even- ing, under the dull, stunning, single thumps—( each vjjiain would have struck, although it had been upon the head of his own grandfather!) of bakers, butch ers, tallow- chandlers, grocers, fishmongers, poulter ers, and oilmen ! Every fellow, who made his live lihood by fleecing me through the whole year, thought himself entitled to a peculiar benefaction on this day. But all this was child's play, bagatelle I protest and 44 perfumed," to what I had to go through in 44 the letting off" of my sober dwelling. The swarm of crocodiles that assailed me on every fine day — — three- fourths of them to avoid an impending shower, or to pass away a stupid morning— iu lb shape of stale dowagers, city coxcombs, * 4 profes- sional gentlemen," and 44 single ladies." And all ( except a few that were swindlers) finding something wrong about my arrangements : Gil Bias' mule, which was nothing but faults, never had so many faults as my house. Carlton Palace, if it were 44 to be let" to- iuorrow, w ould be objected to, by a tailor. One man found my rooms 44 too small ;" another thought them 44 rather too large ;" a third wished they had been loftier ; a fourth that there had heen more of them. One lady hinted at a sort of doubt 44 whether the neighbourhood was quite respect- able;" another asked 44 if I had any children ?" and then,. 44 whether I would bind myself not to have any during her stay!" Two hundred, after detain ing- me for an hour, had only called 44 for friends." Ten thousand went through all the particulars, and then 44 would call again to- morrow." At fast there came a lady, who gave the coup de grace to my 44 house, keeping"— she was a clergy- man's widow, she said, from Somersetshire— if she hail been an officer's, I had suspected her; but in an evil hour I let her in— and she had come for the express purpose of marrying me !— If the reader has bowels of Compassion, let them yearn for me. 44 Nolo cdnjugari," I exclaimed in agony—- but what could serve against the ingenuity of woman ? She haunted me— escape was hopeless— morning, noon and night ! She heard a noise behind the wainscot, and I was called to scare it. Her canary bird got loose,— would I be so good as to catch it? I fell sick, but was soon glad to get well again : for she sent five times a day to ask if I was better, besides pouring in plates of blanc mange, jellies, cordials, raspberry vinegar, fruits fresh from the country, and hasty puddings made by her own hands. And at last, after I had resisted all the constant borrowing of books, the eternal interchange of newspapers, and the daily repair of crow- quills, the opinions upon wine, the corrections of hackney coachmen, and tlie recommendation of a barber to the poodie dog— at last— oh deuce take ail wrinkled carpets, stray pat terns, and bits of orange peel dropped upon the ground '.— Mrs. F. sprained her ankle, and fell down at my very drawing room door! All the women in the house were bribed— there was not one of them in the way. My footman, my only safeguard, was sent off for a doctor! — I was not married; for so much let Providence he praised ! I can't go through the affair.— But, about six months after, I presented Mrs. F—, with my house and every thing in it ; and determined never again — as a man's best protection against female cupidity — lo possess even a pair of inexpressibles that I could legally call mine own. f& tacrtlanmts SEtdUjjctu^ INDIA,— On Wednesday,, the Calcutta Gazette Extraordinary of April 14 was received, contain- ing official details of the capture of the fort and capital of Arracan, by the British atid native troops under the command of Brigadier General Morrison. It appears, that on the 26th of March, Geueral Morrison attacked Ihe enemy, posted on the Pa- doaah Hills, drove them from the pass, and ad- vanced to w ithin a mile of Mahatee. On the 27th, Colonel W. Richards's brigade was employed in the attack of a strong position at Mahatee, where the Burmese were entrenched on Ihe opposite bank of a river. The troops forded the river, and gal lantly\ carried the position, with the loss of two or three men killed. On the 28lh ihe force baited. On the 29th it advanced about seven miles, and came in sight of the very strong position taken up by the enemy for the defence of Arracan. It was a range of hills almost inaccessible in front from swamps, thesummits being cleared and entrenched. Au attack onAhese heights was conducted by Brig- adier General M4Bean on the evening of the 29th, but it failed, in consequence of the extreme diffi cully of ascending the heights, and the successful resistance of the enemy in rolling down stones Our loss on this occasion was one Oflicei, Captain French, of the Madras 16th Regiment killed ; Major Kemm, Captain Fitton, and some other Officers, wouuded; about 30 men killed aud 100 wounded. On the 301h batteries were opened on the enemy's works, and on the evening of the 31st arrangements were made to attack a fortified height, which was the key of their position. Brigadier Richards, with a part of his Brigade, consisting of detachments from his Majesty's 44th Regiment and from the 26th and 49th Regiments of Native Infantry, were employed on this service, which was performed entirely with the bayonet, without firing a shot, and announced to the camp by strik ing up the British drums and fifes from the summit During the night reinforcements, and two guns, were sent up to Brigadier Richards, and on the morning of the 1st April, a general attack was made on all the enemy's works, which were carried with admirable bravery in an hour, the Sepoys vying with their fellow soldiers of his Majesty's service in pushing on after the defeated enemy. The 26th regiment is said to have been particularly distinguished in this gallant exploit, the native officers being anxious to deserve the approbation of their Brigadier, who had formerly belonged to that corps. RANGOON, FEB 24.—^ Extract of a Letter). — You will have heard, long before you receive this, of my having left India, ami being one of the many now warring against his Majesty of Ava— whose pride must, 1 think, by this time be nearly humbled ; his armies have been defeated and dispersed in every direction. His sea coast is in our possession, and our force is now on the move towards his capital ; the inhabitants of Pegu are well inclined towards us and the Siamese have offered on certain conditions t join us with 20,000 men. Now, indeed, are our prospect bright; three months ago they were the reverse; our Europeans were dying at the rate of 300 a mouth. We had no means of carriage, and scarcely a prospect of being able to make an ad vance, with the enemy arotind us, and hut little to eat, and that not very good. The war, I should hope, will now soon be finished : it is impossible the Burmese, obstinate as they are, can hold out much longer. When we reach Prome, we command the resources of the kingdom of Pegu, and have possession of the great river Irawaddy, which will annoy them much, as it will prevent them from communicating wilh the different parts of the country. We had warm work of it from the 1st to the 10th of December, during which the Burmese were incessant in their attacks. I never slept but in nty clothes, with my sword by my side, and was often the most part of the night in the open air; we, however, completely defeated them, taking all their heavy guns, muskets, spears, & c., but not without the loss of several men, Inn officers out of all proportion, eleven were knocked down in one day. One regiment, the 26th, behaved nobly in the defence of the stockade at Kemmerdine. They were attacked for twelve days without inter- mission hy about 9000 Burmese picked troops. In consideration of their gallant conduct, they are per. mitted to have inscribed on their colours, the word Kemmerdine. REPORTED EMIGRATION OF ARTISANS. [ From the Macclesfield Herald.] Althoug h we are not amongst the number of those who take up a public question upon prejudice, we do not hesilate to avow that we were forcibly struck with the information given to the House of Commons on the subject of the emigration of artisans and manufacturers to France and oilier parts of the Continent, and with the statements which subse- quently appeared in the London Journals. Su rounded as we are hy a population more or less interested on this subject, we have thought it 011 duty to avail ourselves of the sources which were open to us to procure authentic information, and we rejoice ihat the result is by no means such as to justify the ahum which has been manifested. If we recollect rightly, ii has been publicly stated that at least nineteen hundred Mechanics and Manufac- turers have emigrated to France, where they are said to have completely fixed themselves; and the Steam Engine maun aetory, iu Paris, has been men tinned as an establishment filled with Englishmen, who were thus laying the foundation of the ruin of their own country in one of its most important branches of industry. We now find that in this establishment there is not a single English workman, and ihe same incorrectness in ihe statements which have been published in the London papers as to other establishments abroad, has been clearly pointed out lo us. That there have been many attempts to establish manufactories in France with English workmen, we do not deny ; but they have nearly al! failed, from the unwillingness of " the workmen to remain, except at wages at least double in amount of those which they received iu England ; an ad- vantage which appeared to them scarcely sufficient to counterbalance the inconvenience of their situation — shut out from their friends aud connexions, and cut off as it were from society ; and ttie inability of the masters to pay such wages— the period of credit for goods, & c, being' so long, that only a colossal fortune could support the expenditure. So feeble is the spirit of enterprize in France, thai there appears to be no prospect of our manufactures being injured to any extent by the competition, although we know very well that it has become quite the fashion to talk of danger from the increasing resources of that country ; from tiie same cause also it is impossible that any considerable number of our artisans can attain profitable employment there. The public shall judge of the real danger, when we inform them upon the authority of ihe parties themselves, that the very Steam Engine Manufactory iu Paris, of which we have heard so much, few orders can lie obtained at a credit of less than nine yearsy or three payments at intervals of 3 years ; and yet we are to be terrified at the idea of competition with manu- : facturers who prefer continuing the old principle, unless they can have nine years' credit with tin means of improvement. Our spirited and enterprising manufacturers have little to fear from the French, aud that little cau only stimulate to further enterprize. AFRICA.— We have received accounts of recent discovery in Central Africa, which will soon be laid before the public in greater detail; but of which the following outline is sufijciently curious : — Major Clappertou and Captain Deuham, in the course of their late expedition in that quarter of the world, arrived in the territory, and subsequently resided for some weeks, in the capital of a nation, w- hose manners and history seem likely to occupy, to no trivial extent, the attention of the public of this country— we might safely say of the whole civilized world. They found' a nation jet black colour, but not in our sens6 of the term negroes, having long- hair and fine high features. This people was found to be in a state of very high civilization ; and above all, the British travellers witnessed review of SEVEN THOUSAND cavalry, divided into regular regiments, and all clothed in complete armour. Six thousand wore the perfect hauberk mail of the early Norman Knights ; most strange by far of all, one thousand appeared in perfect Roman armour. The conjectures to which this has given rise are various. We confess for ourselves, that, looking- to the polished and voluptuous manners ascribed to these people, the elegance of their houses, & e, & e.; in a word, the total difference between them and any other race as yet discovered in the interior of 44 Africa, the mother of monsters," our own opinion is strongly that here we have a fragment of the old Numidian population; a speci- men of the tribes who, after long. contending and long co- operating with imperial Rome, were at last fain to seek safety in the central desert, upon the dissolution of the empire. In these squadrons Messrs. Clapperton and Denhatn probably beheld the liveliest, image that ever has been witnessed by modern eyes, of the legions of JUGURTHA— may we not say of HANNIBAL? The armour, we understand is fabricated in the most perfect style of the art; and the Roman suits might be mistaken for so many Herculanean or Potnpeian discoveries, if it were possible for us to imagine the existence of genuine antiques possessing all the glossy finish of yesterday': workmanship. One of these travellers has already setoff 011 his return to this sable court.— Morning Paper. The TRUTHTELLER, a Catholic Sunday paper, has been discontinued, after a year's trial. The Editor, in an angry address— as a finale, declares 44 that the negligence of too many of his subscribers n not discharging their engagements lo him, and the indifference of others of the Catholic body to support the vindicator of their civil and religious principles, left him with no alternative but that of dropping it as a newspaper." It was the only Catholic newspaper published in England ! CONDITIONAL THANKSGIVING,— We observe from au 44 Argyleshire Agricultural Report," that the people of that county, while duly grateful for the blessings of Providence, have resolved that any manifestation of their feelings shall he conditional; for, says ihe Report, il to their credit be it spoken, we understand that some of our leading men are determined to set a day apart, between this and Martinmas, as a sort of fast or thanksgiving day, provided the Falkirk markets ffo on well /" The expenditure in the City of York during the late Festival is estimated at £ 120,000.— The Fancy Ball was most splendid, aud the company of the very first class. The Marchioness of Londonderry is said to have worn jewels and other costly orna- ments on this occasion to the value of £ 30,000. The ascent of Mr. Green, the aeronaut, in his balloon, at a quarter past four o'clock on the Saturday afternoon, concluded the public entertain- ments of the recent Festival week at York. So majestically grand was the ascent, that a sensation which seemed tocreate mute astonishment pervaded the assembled thousands. A low murmur of ap- plause was heard, which was checked by the sublimity of the spectacle. The ascent was made precisely at ten minutes past four. The balloon al first moved in a direction almost due North, with perhaps a slight variation to the West. A miuute or two after Mr. Green had risen, he com- menced discharging ballast. The balloon was visible to the naked eye of the spectator just half- an hour from the moment of ascent. Mr. Gr safely descended in a field of stubble in tbe parish of Pickering, 29 miles frona York, after a voyage of 50 minutes. UNWILLING COMPLIMENT TO ENGLAND.— The Quotidienne of Tuesday, after " denouncing1 our general politics, complains that within Hicse few years, England and the rest of Europe have changed positions. A few years ago, England, il seems, was so completely effaced that she was fori gotten, whereas now, 44 Stir any where, and yots will be sure that she will arrive there by a gate which her providence has taken care to Open fots herself. She comes into Spain through Portugal-^* into Italy by lllyria (?)— into Germany by Hanover. Through Greece she touches Russia and Austria. Persia, of which she has made an- arsenal, where she keeps her cannon, gunpowder, and officers, assures her of Tuikey. Mistress of the seas, she has her fleets ready to disembark in all points of the globe, and as this globe is divided into two hostile opinions, she will have one always for an ally wherever she shall stretch forth her armed hand." So he it ! A covey of Partridges, about twenty in number, alighted on Thursday, on the beach between Deal and Walmer, aud were so exhausted on landing as to he unable to fl v, and some of Ihem could scarcely move; several of them fell a if easy prey to the passers by, and others, less exhausted, afforded no small diversion to their pursuers before they were taken. They are supposed lo have fled from ihe opposite coast. We mentioned that an estate about a mile to the west of this town, which was purchased thirty years ago for £ 10,000, had sold or was selling at a price which would produce fo the owner £ 80,000, and we have now to state, thai certain landed pro- perty on the opposite side of the Aire, which was bought at the conclusion of llie American war for £ 45 an acre, lias been sold within a few days for £ 1,500 an acre— Leeds paper.

A Civil, IZED COUNTRY — III a desperate fight between two factions, on Friday, at the fair of Dromin, near Bi ufT, styled Ihe V three and four years old," four men were killed hy gun. shot wounds. The parties were armed with scythes and fire- arms. Several more are most dangerously wounded, from fiat lured heads and limbs.— Limerick Chronic/ i. A society has exited in London for ten months^ under the title of llie " Christian Evidence Society."

Forbes under false pretences. Thursday morning, about a quarter past eight o'clock, a fire liruke out hi the heckling simp and warehouse of Mr George Hammond, fl- ix and linen nmnufact urer, at the Bank, Leeds. The progress of the flames was so rapid thai it was with difficulty the workpeople effected their escape, and in less thali half an hour the roof fell in. The engines belonging to the town arrived at the spot with great prompti- tude, nnd were worked with much effect 1 « was impossible to save the premises, which were reduced to a shell; and only a small part of ihe stock was saved. We are happy, however, to learn, that both the stock aud premises are insured, the former jii the Atlas, aiid- ihe latter in ihe Guardian Fire Offices. The cause of the fire may suggest a salutary caution to those engaged in fining up gas apparatus; a workman had been fixing a gas pipe, in the room below the heckling shop, and, iu order lo ascertain if the jointings were perfect, he put a light to it. There was an escape of gas, which burin into a flame, but was instantly blown out. The flame, un- observed by the vvorkman, communicated itself to the fibres of flax which adhered to the wall, and passing through the aperture in the floor made hy ihe pipe, reached the heckling shop, where it pro- duced an instantaneous'• conflagration The mil which was separated from the warehouses by >\ narrow street, entirely escaped, as the wind fortu- nately carried the flanu- s in an opposite directum. TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD — The extiaordinary operation of taking blood from the veins of a man, and injecting it into those of a woman, was lately performed by Dr. BlundeU, Lecturer on Midwifery, at St. Guy's Hospital, upon a poor woman aged 25 years. She was lo all appearance, dying from loss of blood, after a severe labour, when Dr. Blundell ( seeing Ihe imminent danger of ihe case) laid bare one of ihe veins of her left arm, taking care to prevent the blood flowing from Ihe orifice. The husband of the woman, who was a robust man, was then called in, and two ounces of blood taken from his arm into a glass tumbler; this blood was then, by means of a syringe, slowly thrown into Ihe vein of the woman, in the direction of the heart, and the same quantity immediately after repeated. In about ten minutes the woman rallied, and gradually recovered from the! jaws of death. The syringe was of brass, and well tinned on Ihe inside; lo the mouth a pipe was fixed, of about two inches long, and the size of a crow's quill, shaped like a pen at the end, but with a blunt point. All air was carefully expelled from the syringe when used. FORGERY.— A forgery has recently been dis- covered of Messrs. Cunliffe, Brook, and Co.' a Manchester one- pound notes. CHEESF..— In order lo give that peculiar green, mouldy appearance to cheese, which many epicures are apt to fancy in 44 old cheese," some dealers in the article have adopted the expedient of running bits Of brass wire into their cheese, the corrosion of which gives the resemblance that time alone coqld otherwise effect. What must be the couse- quence of eating such an article, can be easily imagined. COMMERCIAL TELFGRAPH.— Last week, A meeting was held at Manchester, when it was agreed to form a Committee, for the purpose of establishing a telegraphic communication between Liverpool and London, by way of ihat lown It was calculated that five stations would be sufficient for the purpose; that it would require an original outlay of about £> 500; and that the annual ex- pense would be about £ 3200.
