TO THE PROPRIETORS OF CHURCH'S ^ COUGH DROPS, GENTLEMEN, r| f! 0 withhold from Public Knowledge a M- manifest Fact of the Utility and perfect Cure effected by yonr CHURCH's COUGll DROPS upon me, would be the greatest Ingratiiude, as long. as it is * an incumbent Duty of every Man to facilitate the ' Comfort of his afflicted Fellow- creatures. In the Year 1797, 1 caught a most violent Cold which affected my Breast and Lungs so much that could scarcely speak to be understood, and remained so for th. eSpace'of two Months; at the same Time accom pariied with a great Discharge from my Lungs, whicl continued with unabated Force until the Year 1809, When, after having Rppnurse toal most every Advice, and io no Purpose, being in Conversation with t Gentleman of the Faculty, I told him 1 thought there was no perfect Cure for an Asthma, to which lie assented, hy replying that lie had one himself, and his only Relief was by taking frequently some Medicines to keep his Lungs open. About this Time a Neighbour came, to see me, who said lie bad been equally as bad as ) was then, and he first told me of CHURCH'S (" OUCH DROPS, being the Medicine that made him as he was then in Health, and persuaded me to make Trial of a email liuttle. — I sent for one to Shrewsbury, nt which Time 1 had ail incessant Cough with little or no fnterniissiou. In the Morning, at Breakfast, I took two Tea Spoon- . fills of the Drops in the last Cup of Tea; and no more wonderful than true, I did not cough for the Space of ten',. Minutes after, which . would have taken Place 4sve, nty or thirty Tiui. es before in that Time. In short, it and a few Bottles more perfectly cured me then, and I bave never been without it iu my House for several Y'iars after, to use it upon any Occasion after taking Cold. I am now a living Witness to the Truth of what I fiave here said, and completed the Gist Year of my Ape the4th Day of June Instant, and, blessed be God, J sVftve as good Breath as any other Man of my Age in ihfc Oounty of Montgomery. I am$ Gentlemen, . Your most obedient humble Servant, JOSEPH RUT TER. ( Suilchfeld, Montgomeryshire, ' June 12/ h, 1821. You are at Liberty to make what Use of this • you may think proper.

Pectoral Essence of Coltsfoot. ripiiE Herb COLTSFOOT has long been 5L distinguished for its excellent Properties'in the Cure of Coughs and other Pulmonary . Complaints : and this Essence has, in the Course of a long Practice! been found the most safe and effectual Remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of the I . uiigs. It gently opens the Breast, aiid immediately gives Liberty of Breathing, without any Danger of taking Cold, and thus it affords great Relief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the Tickling which provokes frequent Coughing, cleanses the small Glands, relaxes the Fibres, and thereby enlarges the Cavities of the Vessels.— Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals Rawness and Soreness of the Chest. This Pectoral Essence is prepared by JAMES RYAN, Surgeon, in Bristol ; and sold in Bottles at 2s. 9d. and 3s. 6d. eabli, by F.

Should the Complaint be far advanced, it will be necessary to take the SPECIFIC Remedy with the Jesuit's Drops.

The test of experience is the guarantee of favour, and has estab lislied WAllREN's BLACKING iu general estitnati of which there exists not a stronger proof than Ihe inert acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude ou the unwary a spurious pre. pitralion as the genuine article, lo Ihe great disappoint- ment of the unguarded purchaser, and manifest injury of WARREN, whose character and interest hy ibis iliiquiloils system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an indispensable duly lo CAUTION THE PUBLIC against the manoeuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who having no character to lose, and stimu- lated hy avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim al the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour!

The First Volume of the Gardener's Ma- gazine being completed, the purchasers of it will naturally, and very . properly, compare its contents, with the plan and promises held forth iu the Prospectus. We. invite them to do so. This may appear presumption or vanity ; it would be so, were we not indebted to our contributors for having been enabled to carry iuly execution that plan aud those promises. That, our contributors are neither few nor unknown, that they are well qualified to be of essential service to the cause iu which we are embarked, the Iis4. of them subjoined will amply testify. * We had two grave objects in view ; — to disseminate new and important information on all topics connected with horticulture, and to raise the intellect and charac- ter of those engaged in this art. That these objects have been furthered even during the short period of this Magazine's existence, we cannot doubt, when we consider the number of subjects treated of in original articles, the quantity of valuable matter condensed in the reviews, the great variety of miscellaneous intelli- gence, foreign and domestic, and even th. e implements, new fruits, addresses of garden artists and artisans, titles of books on gardening, and rural subjects, re- corded in the advertising department. A number of the books from which information is drawn are in foreign languages ; and others, from their prices, out of the reach of most readers, and especially of those readers to whom their use would be the greatest. A8 the object of the Gardener's Magazine is the dis- semination of useful knowledge ; its subjects inexhaust- ible as the vegetable kingdom, and among the most interesting that can concern domestic life ; its plan calculated to procure information from every possible source at home or abroad ; its contributors belonging to every department of gardening and botany; aud its conductor devoted to the subject, from inclination no less than iuterest, its readers may reasonably expect, it to improve as it'advances. At all events, they may rely that no exertion will be wanting on the part of its conductor to render it of real service to gardening ami gardeners, and worthy of a continuation of that e. iicuu ragemeut which it has received. J. C. L. Printed for LVnginan, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green HPH E Commissioner bath executed all the H . Awards in this In closure, and made his Ap- pointment. of the Sums! of Money to be paid to him by" the different Proprietors of T, duds in the Township of Cwmgoror and Castle, in the Parish of Castle Cae.;-* einrou, tlie Townships of Gwaenynog ueha, Briu « j! as, and Llanfair, in the Parish of Llanfair, and the Town- ship OF Cynhinfa, in the Parish of LlangvnieW, to make, good the Deficiency of the Monies raised, by Sales'of Allotments, to defray the Expenses of exe- cuting the Act in those Townships ; and he hath, appointed the said Sums of Money to be paid to hint at the Goat Inn, in the Town of Llanfair, on Thursday, the- eighteenth Day of January next, at ten i. n the Morning. And he will publish such his Appoint- ments, by affixing the same ( oil Sunday next) ou the Church Doors in Llanfair, Llangyniew, and Castle Cue re in io'n, as required by the Inclosure Act; ami will leave a Particular of the Sum which each Person to pay, at the Goat Inn, in Llanfair, for Perusal of the Parties interested.

An express arrived on Friday morning: from Paris, Bringing'- the Speech of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, iu the Chamber of Peers, which is decidedly pacific. In the present posture of affairs in the Peninsula it is an important document. It is to the foi low ing effect • " NOBLE PEERS,— The discussion about to he opened before you, imposes on ns tiie obligation of making knovn to yon the actual situation of our reiauons with tiie states whose interests are more particularly con- nected with i'; e Sale eveuss'. This ia the duty which I coine to fulfil before you. At. the time of the entry of the French army into Spain in 1823,. the English Government demanded a. id obtained from France the promise that no hostility should be committed with- respect to Portugal, and declared that it would con- sider itself obliged by former treaties to come, to the aid of that power, if it were attacked. At the time the late troubles broke out in Portugal, a similar de- claration < vas made by England to Spai'iiy and com- municated to France as well as to all the great powers of tlie continent, a- nd if was ai> reed that Spain should undertake nothing against Portugal, and that on her part England would watch that Portugal committed no act of hostility against Spam. We owe it to truth to say, that, Engl a ml has fulfrlled fhe obligation which she took upon herself, and that on their part all the powers have not ceased to act- with a common consent towards the Cabinet of Spain, to induce that power not to furnish to Portugal any subject of complaint. How- ever, at the very moment when that Cabinet gave its assurance that the arms taken from the refugees should be yiveu up to the Portuguese Government, at the moment when orders were given that the refugees themselves should be removed from the frontiers, these men have entered Portugal in arms, and this sudden attack has been accompanied by circumstances which leave no doubt as to the co- operation of some ofthe Spanish authorities who had heen charged with the execution of the order to disarm and disperse the refugees among the interior provinces. France, which had the greatest reason to prevent all hostilities 011 the part of Spain— France, which had the most right to he listened to — France, whose intervention should have inspired Portugal nnd England with the greatest security as to the. fulfilment of the engage- ments of tho Spanish Cabinet— could not remain indif- ferent to events which made appear, inn manner so evident, either contempt for it* counsels or the impo- tence of its influence, and the King'* Government had immediately to testify its disapprobation by recall ing its Ambassador from Madrid. France does not contest with Fug- land' the right re- sulting from its duty— the right imposed on it by a long series of treaties to go to the aid of Portugal. It will continue i s efforts to prevent the renewal of acts which have authorised the measures taken by the British Cabinet; it wiil omit nothing to prevent a rupture between Spain and" Portugal, and1 it hopes to succeed; it has already taken - with regard to the Cabinet of Madrid, in concert with all its allies, steps the most likely to attain this object. It continues to receive from the British Cabinet the most positive assurances of its entire co- operation. Nothing which has taken place up to the latest events authorizes the King's Government to raise any doubts on the sincerity of these assurances; on their part, the Ministers of the King are firmly determined to advise his Majesty to refuse his support to the Spanish Government, if, by its own fault, it puts Portugal under the necessity of assuming a hostile attitude towards it. France can- not, then, be reduced t » renounce the advantages of peace, except by circumstances which we are far from foreseeing. Her good faith and her dignity would not permit her to support unjust and passionate acts, wh; ch Iiave only taken place in contempt of councils which have been given and promises that have been made. It is by thus follow ing the rules of justice— by respect- ing the faith of treaties, and the rights of other powers, that France preserves all her advantages for sustain- ing her own rights, and even those of . Spain, should she be unjustly attacked. Tt was by defending the principles of order and legitimacy, that England came out victorious from the long and sanguinary contest which she sustained against the French Revo- lution. The same success will attend us, if ever we should, in our turn, be called upon to defend the same principles." LONDON, Monday Night, December 25, 1626. DIED.

We learn from the last Paris Papers that the effects of the decisive measures adopted by this country are beginning to manifest themselves. Letters from Vigo, it is stated, mention that the Captain- General had informed the Commander- in- Chief of the province of Tuy, that his most Catholic Majesty bad expressed his dissatisfaction with the conduct of General Silveira, and with the Portu- guese refugees in Spain* who, by their return to Portugal in arms, bad given cause " for just re- monstrances from the Courts of Lisbon nud London." Instructions, it is odded, bad been transmitted to alt fhe Captains- General to " pursue General Silveira, as well as all his countrymen who have followed him, with a prohibition not fo receive in future any Portuguese refugees." Under date of Madrid, December 11, vre further learn, that negociations bad been commenced be- tween Spain and Portugal, under tbe mediation of England; and, adds the account, " it will not be surprising if a treaty should be signed within twenty- four hours." According fo another state- ment, the treaty was actually signed on the evening of the 12th. This last statement is, doubtless, premature ; but, to that issue, the question must come at last. It is also stated that the rebels had suffered a severe defeat in Alentejo, and that the Captains- General of Leon and Estremadura, Longa and Eguia, had been cited to Madrid to answer for tlieir conduct. The report that Don Miguel, acting under the earnest advice and persuasions of the Emperor of Austria and Prince Metternieh, had solemnly dis- claimed all tbe acts committed in his name by the Portuguese rebels, seems to be confirmed. We attach, however, very little importance to the mat- ter. They who have taken up arms asrainst their country would have done the same had Miguel been in his grave; and it is not bis renunciation of them which will either arrest or change their plans. The French Funds continue to improve. The Three per Cents, on Saturday, were 68f. 50o. The Moniteur contains the Address voted by the Chamber of Peers aud the King's Answer. The , Address is little more than un echo of the Speech, noticing, however, in a pointed manner, the allusion to the valour ofthe French armies, and assuring his Most Christian Majesty that " at the call of her august Chief all France would rise in arms with all her pride and all her energy." The King in his reply also makes that passage most prominent, but evidently with the intention of preventing an erroneous acceptation, nnd of giving it a decidedly pacific character. " I have always been certain," says his Majesty, " that if the honour of tny Crown should ever require new sacrifices, my faithful subjects would hear my voice, and would hasten to answer it: and I am pleased to see the Chamber of Peers of the kingdom participate in my conviction. This satisfaction is the more pure, as my Allies units their effoits with mine to prevent the events in the Peninsula from disturbing tbe tranquillity of Europe, and I Imve a well founded hope that my people will long continue lo enjoy the blessings of peace." The 1st Squadron of the 12th ( the Prince of Wales's Royal Lancers) embarked, on the 23d, and the 2d Squadron embarked oil the 24th inst. on board transports, at Portsmouth, for Portugal. %\) t Salopian ' jjouraal.

In a few minutes afterwards one hundred and thirty- two highly respectable individuals sat. down, to a most excellent, and indeed sumptuous repast, con- sisting of every delicacy of the season ; the wines were of the first- rate quality, and many corks were drawn. After the cloth was removed, various patriotic and loyal toasts and songs went round the convivial board. The great good humour of the presidents, Mr. Pershouse, of Penn, and Mr. Phillips, of Brockton, did honour to their situation j and the evening passed away with the greatest good hu- mour.— Several of the company came out of Here- fordshire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, & c. and about one hundred dinner tickets were sold to distant friends that did not come in.

Oswestry, 19th December, 1826. ^ JOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that n JLlhe ^ ARTNERSH3P subsisting between JOHN EMBURY WILLIAMS, of SAKDBACH, in the County of Chester, and THOMAS WILLIAM SMITH MEEK of BETLEY, in the County of Stafford, as Attorneys at Law and Solicitors, and carried on at Betlev: afore* said under the Firm of " WILLIAMS aud MEtk^ will be determined and stand DISSOLVED from and after the 31st Day of December instant ; from which Tiros the said THOMAS WILLIAM SMITH MEKBI intend* to carry on Business at Betley aforesaid, on hi « • wu separate Account. D" ted the 18th Day of December, 1836. In your Journal of May 26, 1824, is recorded the death of Sir John Hill, Bart, of Hawkstone, in whom were united all those distinguishing traits of character which, whilst they constituted him a bright example of the true Englisji country gentleman, at the same time gained him universal esteem and respect.. Aud although such individuals require not the aid of sculp tured marble to impress upon their contemporaries a recollection of their virtuous and endearing qualities, still is it gratifying to the reflecting mind to find that so much worth is not permitted to descend to the silent tomb without an appropriate nieinentp K> tell future generations what lie was, and excite those who see it so to conduct themselves in the various relations of life as at the close of it to Se eqiiallj respected and regretted . To the memory or tfrfar< JVs? tiiig'inU) ed' indi- vidual a moral marble monumenthasH'is month been put up in Prees church, egamSt the u^ rth- east wall of the chancel ( in a vault underneath which his remains were iu » erred),; and happy am I to say that the memorial erected is alike worthy of the venerable character whose death it records, of the esteemed Baronet ( his grandsons/ at whose expense it has been executed, and of the ancient and honourable family w hose name has, by the gallant . conduct of its various members during' the late eventful war, been rendered" illustrious. "; - Its general form is that of a portion of a Greek Architrave with two faces, the lower one containing the inscription ( a copy of which is below), and the upper one art alio relievo, representing a funeral pro- ces^ ion, preceded by the clergyman— the corpse borne underhand bv four young men, and followed by- eight mottVnerr. The figures of the different individuals 1 are admiraBly executed, as well with reference to the station tlVcy respectively occupy in the procession as to their expression of countenance- nnd the drapery they are vested in : and, I think, that every one A ho has taken particular notice of this elegant memorial will admit,- that never did sculpture tell its tale more forcibly or with more congeniality to the hearts and feelings of Englishmen. The whole is crowned with an enriched' ovolo and cave/ to, charged with honey- suckles,' end'- surrounded by a light fawn- coloured marble,, yrliicIF, harmonizes most happily with the remainder of the monument.* The Inscription, which is in Roman capitals, is as follows : — Srfcred € o the Memory of Sir JOHN KILL, of 5' awkstone, Baronet T wlio ( iepaited this life May 21st, 1824, aged 83.. To future generations, this Marble will' point out th « spot vrhere rest the remains of a good Man. To tho hearts of those relatives and friends \ yho knew his worth, the powers of sculpture or of words may . respond, but thev cannot depict the full force of tho^ e feelings of affection which a recollection of his virtues inspire. By Mary his wife, one of the daughters and co- heiressss of John Chambre, of Petton, Esquire, he had issue sixteen children. Six of his sons were engaged in the arduous war with France. The honours conferred upon them by their King and Country mark the estimation in which their services were held. Sir Rowland Hill, of Hawkstorie, Baronet, Member of Parliament, for the County 6f Salop, ( whose Father, John Hill, Esquire, died January27,1814,) erected this Monument as a; token of respect to his venerable Grandfather. This beautiful memorial to departed worth was exe- cuted by Mr. T. Carlinc, sculptor ( third sou of Mr. Carline,' f architect, of ShresVsbuTy), from an original design of his own, a model of which was in the Exhi- bition at Somerset House for 1825, where it attracted much admiration, as did a most interesting and ex- pressive group of two orphan children, which were so fortunate as to obtain one of the; best situation^ in the sculpture- room in the exhibition for the' niesent year. J am. Sir, your s, fccc. M. * The friends and admirers of the deceased, as well as the collectors of Shropshire engiavings, will, 1 i| oubt not, bs glad to know that it is Mr. T. Csrline's int. entid6 to have a print of it engraved by an eminent artist. \ Some of the chaste and elegant specirnfns of monumental skill ( exeecuted by this gentleuian and his eldest, son), in the florid gothic, or, perhaps, more correctly speaking, perpen- dicular. stvle of architecture, may be seen in Salisbury Cathedral," and in thi churches of " Acton Scott, Battle § el'd ( noticed in your Journal of Jan. 2d, 182T) t- Kiolet, Ludlow, VV rockwardine, and Rhyddlan.

Mr. Edward Williams, better known hy hi* Bardic appellation, loin Morgunwg,— n man nlios. uamo will descend to posterity with well- merited distinction. Iu rigour and brilliancy of genius few were his equals, and in virtuous integrity none sur- passed him. Although purely self- taught, never having been (\ single day at school, his literary acquirements were extensive and profound. He attained knowledge on the various subjects of bis pursuit with ajtonisbing facility, and his memory was KO strongly retentive, that he became a living chroni- cle iu the nnunla of British history, liis favourite pursuits were poetry und antiquities. Orders have been received at Pembroke Dock- yard to lose uo time in completing such ships as are now building nt that place, and to commence build- ing two three deckers of tbe largest size. One thousand . convicts are shortly expected to be em- ployed upon the works, and barracks are forthwith to be erected, either for a battalion of Marines, or a portion of the 23d regiment of Royal Welsh Fusi- ieers. These measures are attributed to an inten- tion on tbe part of his Majesty's Government, of adopting some means of fortifying Milford Haven, now that the growing importance of the Americans, Hie increasing consequence of Liverpool and Glas- gow, and the general prevalence of steam navigation, have rendered this capacious aud noble harbour one of our taoat valuable ports. d. 8 10 a 9 fi 11) 0 II 10 fi 9 0 SHREWSBURY.

The revenue of this qnarter, compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, is stated to exhibit a considerable improvement. The augmen- tation in the department oi' the Excise is estimated at about £ 3C6,0( X'). The tonnage upon the Old Birmingham Canal, during the month of November last, exceeded in amount that of any one month preceding since the canal first opened. We trust, this gratifying cir- cumstance is a prelude to the general levi. val of trade in that district. The letters from the manufacturing districts in Yorkshire and Lancashire speak of progressiva' improvement in the cotton, sill;, and woollen trades. The banking- house of Messrs. Jeminett, Curtis, and Co. of Ashford, Kent, was robbed on Tuesday, between ohe and two. o'clock in the day, of bills of exchange and drafts to the amount of £ 3738. The Bank of England Branch Establishment in Birmingham, we understand, wili commence business on Thursday next, on the premises occupied by the late firm of Gibbius, Smith, and Good<, in Uuion- street. Another destructive fire occurred in Bristol early on Friday morning, by which the extensive ware- bo uses of Messrs. Lediard, Jones, and Mortimer, dry- salters, better known as the Old Sugar Houses, overlooking the Float, were entirely consumed. Tbe contents being many of them of a very combustible nature, and tbe floors of each tier of ware- Toouui saturated with sugar, a conflagration ensued such as was never before witnessed iu Bristol; and in the course of two hours nothing was visible but the bare walls. By great exertions the eounting- housc was saved, together with " ntl account boflks and papers, and the flames Were prevented from ex- tending to the adjoining premises. No account ia given of the cause of the fire; ali was slated to be perfectly safe when the person who locked up quitted at half past nine on the preceding evening. The loss is said to be nearly £ 20,000, but both the warehouses and property were insured, aud it is believed nearly to the amount of their value. Mr. William Allen, of Great Washbotrrn, near Tewkesbury, having recently had three horses dia within a few days of each other, determined upon having their bodies opened by a veterinary surgeon, when the ulcerated state of their stomachs and bowels clearly proved that they had been poisoned. On investigation, it came out, that the carter had administered a quantity of sulphnric acid with their corn and chaff, with the silly and erroneous idea, as be declared before a Magistrate, of improving their condition ! As the mischief appeared to have been occussioned through ignorance, and not from mali- cious . motives, and the man being willing to maks every recompense to bis master which was in his power, a prosecution has been abandoned. We trust this will operate as u caution to servants not to administer mediciues to horses and cattle entrusted to their care without directions from their employ- ers, or from those who are acquainted with the effects they are likely to produce. Mr. Stephens, the gentleman whose d? ath at Lisbon we unnonnced last week, has bequeathed £ 770,000 to his executor, Mr. Lyne. Mr. Lewis Stephens, the brother of the above gentleman, died a few years since, and bequeathed £ 30,000 to the Chamber of F. xeler, for the purchase of lands in Devon or Cornwall, the rental of which wi- s to be applied to the establishment of a Free School in Exeter. I n consequence ot the provisions of the Mortmain Act, this large property reverted to his brother as executor, and it is now said, that a similar sum ia bequeathed to Mr. Lyne, to be distri- buted as he may think proper, to the Charity Sobooia in this city.— Exeter Paper,. The struggle for the vacant Coronership in tha county of Worcester terminated on Saturday after- noon ; and at the final close of the poll Mr. Smith was declared the successful candidate by a majority of 189 votes, Upon the numbers being announced, Mr. Stokes demanded a scrutiny, and the Under- Sheriff, Mr. Barker, said that he n ould on Thursday determine whether it should be granted.— The numbers polled were— for Mr. Smith 3875; for Mr. Stokes 368( 5.— The total number of freeholders who have recorded their votes on the occasion is there fore 7561. On Wednesday morning the bed- room of Mr. C. Gene, of Whitley, near Melksham, was entered, and the wood about the lock uf a drawer in an old bureau cut away, out of which the large sum of £ 1,500 was abstracted, principally iu Bank of England notes and sovereigns : which sum had been placed there for safe deposit since the panic about a twelvemonth since. Suspicion having- attached to a fellow of the nam - of Cooper, who had been a ser- vant to Mr. Gene, he was in consequence taken into custody, and, after a great deal of good management, was induced by a fee of five pounds to confess that he had stolen the stun, and to describe where he had secreted it— namely, in a drain in a field near the house, whore the whole was accordingly found! The magnitude of the sum, it appears," proved in this case its security, as Cooper declares that when he found it to be so lurge, be was afraid, not know- ing what to do with it. The man was set at liberty, and Tuesday morning he enlisted. iuto the 46th Foot. — Devizes Gazette. of PHOENIX Flre- Office.

[ From the Jameses Chronicle.] The following, which we extract from the Courier Francdis{ Paris Paper)^ may be thought to throw some light upon the triumphant speeches lately delivered at the Roman Catholic Association ( see 4^/ hpage) : " No one can forget the obscure passage in Mr. Canning's speech, where, he says he would abstain from entering into great details, and from laying before tlie house all the paper.-.', because, then, perhaps, War would become inevitable, and Parliament'itself. would declaie it. It is well known to- day to. what these words allude ; it is, known that the English government, have seized the outlines of an organised plot by the apostolical ® of Paris, of Rome, and Madrid, to raise an insurrection in Ireland in the name of religion. They cal- culated that the rising in that country being simultaneous with the invasion of the Marquis de Chaves, Would draw to it all the Attention of the British . Government, and prevent it I giving any assistance to Portugal. Some members of that faction unskilfully^ published their secret, by vaguely de- claring the report ofa revolt in Ireland, though no movement of that nature has' taken place in that country Tbe journals ofthe Jolhj whieh we have before its, would' mention it, and fb. py announce, on the contrary, the embarkation of several corps of troops which are in Ireland. The plot has failed for on. ee; but who knows, if all the consequcnces of it can be prevented." We believe that the statement of- llje French Jour- nalist is substantially tr. ue.. We know, indeed that au active co- operation of their fellow- subjects of the Pope, abiding iu Ireland, was expected by the French and Spanish Jesuits. The R/ oi/ e of Saturday, in a: i impudently falsified report of Mr. John Williams's speech on the adjournment, indeed; told them n* much. The I- rish Priests, however, w Ifo do not calcu- late their military force by the same delusive scale by which they would magnify their political weight, saw that the time had. not yet arrived when ihey^ epnld safely take the field. Whether that time will ever arrive is « question, the solution of which will depend in « great degree upon the lise which we may now make of the most auspicious opportunity that ever opened . upon Ireland. .

Bishop of Kilmore, are to assemble this day ( Thursdav) in Cavan.— They have sum moned the Parish Priests of the diocese of Kilmore, for the purpose of inquiring into the causes of the conversions and the characters of the converts.— Jinniskillen Chronicle. We learn by the Paris Papers, which arrived 011 Tuesday, that M. de Moustier, the French Am- bassador to the Court cf Madrid, had actually ar- rived in Paris.— Here, then, is the first practical proof of the sincerity with which France has acted towards this country; and It may be viewed as an earnest of that frankness and cordiality which will characterize the rest of her conduct.— But this is not the only, nor, In our minds, the most important, pledge that has been given of cordial concurrence w ith England. His Majesty Charles X. has vouch- safed a personal testimony, as it were, of the sentiments by. which he is animated. He has positively declared to Ferdinand, under his own hand, that if he do not change the policy hitherto pursued with regard to Portugal, the'Suiiss troops, now in the sorvice of Spain, will be immediately recalled. - These troops do duty in the. Capital, and constitute, we believe, the body- guard of Ferdinand. They were appointed to that service, in the first instance, as a special mark of consider- ation towards the Spanish Monarch, with a view to tbe more complete protection and security of the Royal person at t! ic time. Their recal, therefore, or the threat of their recal, becomes a more specific indication of individual displeasure than could be infertv d from the fact of withdrawing: the French troops generally, which would resolve itself Into a political measure, resulting from political considerations alone; and we all know bow fre- quently these considerations exact from a govern- ment a sacrifice opposed to inclination.— It is pleasing thus to see two great nations acting har- moniously together, upon a question which, had it unfortunately divided them, might havo convulsed Europe from one end to the other. The coursc of England was so clear and positive— her duty so unequivocal— and the justice of her cause so strong— that, having planted her foot, 110 calcula- tions of consequences could have Justified her in receding. France has met this case of honourable necessity on our part with candour and good faith. She has interpreted our position in a manner suit- able to an enlightened and powerful Govertlmcll,, co- operating w ith a Government 110 less powerful and enlightened, to assert tho obligations of na- tional faith. Despatches have been received from Persia, by Government, doted Tabi c*-, c^ itolvt- r 0. Tney an- nounce, that a division of the Persian Army, de- tached by his Highness the Prince Regent, under the command of his eldest son, Mahomed Meerza, and his uncle, Ameer Khan, was defeated, with severe loss, 011 the26th September, near, the village ofShamkhar, five turseekhs north- west of Georgia. The battle was fought on the banks of the Yczan, a second stream of which divided the contending armies. The Russian force amounted to about 6,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, with a propor- tionate number of guns; that of the. Persians, to 5,000 infantry and 5,000 irregular horse, with six field pieces. After some hard fighting, the Per- sians were compelled to retire in the utmost con- fusion; audit is supposed that nearly the whole of their infantry were either killed or taken pri- soners. Three field pieces fell into the hands of the Russians, and Ameer Khan was killed by a Cossack, wheu ill the aet of rallying his troops. Tbe young Prince, Mahomed Meerza, was taken prisoner by a Cossack, but was afterwards reeued, and borne away in triumph, by one of his surdars. IRELAND.— The prospect of Great. Britain being engaged in war has produced the liveliest joy among the demagogues of the Roman Catholic Association. At a meeting, held in Dublin 011 Thursday last, they openly expressed their exul- tation at the event, and the language which they uttered was the most seditious we ever read. Mr. Shicl said, " The intelligence will make the heart of every Irishman leap within him." " The ele- ments of a g;- cat war are put into motion, and 1 own, in the spirit of discontented fearlessness, that I rejoice at it." " The people of Ireland exult in war, and in the prospect of its terrible results. They expect that war will awaken a sense of . justice." Mr. O'Connell said, " 1 never in all my life rose with such pleasure to speak in a Catholic assembly. England is at war. Let her do without Creland if she dare." From a table drawn up by the committee on the- poor laws in 1818, and ordered to be re- printed in Ihe present Session of Parliament, it appears that the money raised for the poor during 1? 7( S, was to that raised for the same purpose in 1815, as 17 to 81; from 1785 to 1803, the rate was in the proportion of 21 to 53, and from 1803 to 1815, In the propoitior of 53 to 81. The total number of persons relieved in 1803 and 1815, was as seven to nine. Thus it appears that the expenditure for the poor had incr aged four times in 40 years, or had doubled itself in 20 years. The law expenses, of removal of officers and other parochial charges had increased in such a rate, as to double itself in a period of every twelve years. The increase of paupers be- tween 1803 and 1815 was nearly one third, and that of the population of England and Wales between 1776 and 1815 was gradual from 7J millions to 10 millions, or about a third. From the abstract of returns made to the tax office in 1804 it appears that the rental of England aud Wales was £ 38,000,000, and the amount of the real property assessed to the property tax in 1815 was £ 52,000,0011, being on inciease of n avly one half in that period. The rate ievied iu 1814 for the poor, & c. was 2s. 10d. iu the pound; aid in 1815. 3s. ljd. The population of Great Britain and VValcs in 1801, was JO,£ 42,646; in 1811,12,586,803; and in 1821,14,391,631. It will be remembered that the Crown instituted a. proceeding in the Exchequer against Mr. Peto, the builder of the new Custom- house, to recover penalties he had incurred by the non- fulfilment of his contract to complete tiiat building in a work- manlike manner, and that a partial verdict was given for the Crown. Mr. Peto's justification was, that, in deviating from the specifications of his contract, he followed- the directions of Mr. Lain;?-, the Commissioners' surveyor. The Chief Baron, however, on Tuesday, decided, that Mi-. Peto had no power to deviate from so important a contract, without consulting these with whom he had con- tracted : it. could not be varied but by a solemn deed. Mr. lJeto had mistaken the extent of Mr. Laing's authority. Judgment w as therefore give,, for the Crown upon tbe whole1 ofWTsSaei ( l ied.

His Lordship entered the army as soon as he bail finished his education, and served ill America, and was appointed Adjutant- General to Sir W.

His Lord- ship, shortly after'this period, officiated as secortd to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, in a duel with Colonel Lennox, afterwards Duke of Richmond. Lord Moira subsequently served on the continent, and iu 1805, was appointed Commander- in- Chief iu Scotland— in 1806, Master- General of the Ordnance. On the accession of his Majesty to the Regency, Lord Moira received the Order of the Garter, and shortly after was appointed Governor- General of India, which office be splendidly held for several years ; thence his Lordship was appointed Governor of Malta. His Lordship married in July, 1804, the Countess of Loudon, by whom he had issue George Augustus Frederick, Earl of Rawdon, born 4th of February, 1808, and three daughters.

FORGERIES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE.— Mr, Newman, the broker, charged with having forged a stock- receipt for £ 4000, and ono for £. 1500, put an end to his existence 011 Saturday. He was very lately considered to be most successful in business, aud a few months back could have retired with a handsome fortune. On Friday he entertained a large party at dinner at iris house at Hampstead, to celebrate the anniversary of his marriage— and at the moment that the friend entered who commtini eated to him the discovery of the forgery, he was in a higli state of convivial enjoyment. On hearing what had occurred, and that nothing but flight could save him, lie betrayed no particular emotion, but invited his friend to join the festive party. At an early hour next morning, he slipped uupcrceived out of his house, iu his dressing gown, and proceeding to a field beyond his garden, shot himself through the head with a pistol. The body was not discovered till Sunday. It is said he intended to replace the stock on Saturday. He was most respectably con- nected. GRAND FOX- CHASE AT MALPAS.— On the 15th inst.'. Sir Richard Puleston's. hounds met at Iscoed Park, and after drawing blank a number of small coverts, crossed the Fens Moss to Betfisfield Springs, where they immediately found, and off went not fewer than three as fine foxes as were ever run, one of which was followed by seven couple of hounds with one of the whi- ppers, in the Administration of the estate and effects of the late Johu Farquhar, Esq. has Been granted, by the unanimous consent of the parties interested, to J. F. Eraser, one of the nephews. The property is chiefly persoual ( the splendid estate of Fonthill having been sold 6y Mr. Farquhar some time previous to his death), and will, therefore, be divided equally among his nephews atrd nieces. There are three nephews, viz. George Mortpaer, James Mortimer, and J. F. Fraser; and four nieces who are married to the following gentlemen:— Sir William Templar Pole, Bart. James Lumsden, William Aitken, and P. Trezevant, of America. It is supposed that the . sharq of each will be about £ J00,0.0.0. The landed property is comparatively small, and wiil go to the heir at law. At Kingston Assizes 011 Tuesday, Thomas Jones was indicted for uttering at Thursley, on the 0th of September, a Bank of England note for £ 10, know- ing tbe same to be forged and counterfeited.— Tbe singularity of this case was, that the prisoner was perfectly blind. He was a musician by profession, and was in the habit of attending families in the neighbourhood where he lived. Prior to the month of September, he had lodged with, his wife and a man- servant, in the house of. a Mrs. Evans, at Thursley. In tha beginning of September, he went to Loudon for a few days, aud on his return, he sent his landlady on the 7th to get a £ 10 note changed. The note was changed by a Miss Kil'iw tes, in the neighbourhood, aud the money was given to the prisoner. On the flth, he sent her again with another £ 10 note to a Mr. Whitburne,* a miller, to get changed, but without success. On the next dav, the prisouer sent Mrs. Evans to Miss Knowles with tbe change of the first note, desiring the note to be given back. Whilst Mrs. Evans was in the hon. e, Mr. Whitburne came iu, and detained the note, aud understanding where it came from, ha obtained the assistance of- a constable', and caused the prisoner to be apprehended. On his person were found six or seven £ 1 country notes, and two or three counterfeit sovereigns. He was asked why he wanted change ofa £ 10 note, wheu he had smaller notes and other mouey in his possession ? , He said he wanted more change to make good bis various payments.. He said he had received one of the £ 10 notes 011 the sale of a musical instrument at Pet w orth, and the other at a public- house iu Kingston.— Mr. Christmas, the Bank- note Inspector, proved that both notes were forged in every particular. They were'both printed from the same plate, bore the same . date and number, and were on similar paper.— The prisoner, iu his defence, said he had received the notes iu the way of his busiuess, and had not the least know- ledge of their being forged. He called no witness. Mr. Justice Bayley left the case to the jury, aud said, the question was, whether the prisoner had uttered the note iu question with a guilty know- ledge i he called their attention to the prisoner's blindness, and the circumstance cf his uttering . the note iu a neighbourhood in which he was well known. It was certainly singular, that if the prisoner bad received the notes in different places, they should correspond with each other in every particular.— The prisoner was found guilty. LAMPS, WITHOUT WICKS.— The discovery of the principle that oil passed through a capillary tube produces a Haiuc without the aid ofa wick, is due to our townsman, Mr. il. H. Btackadder. He described REFQRftlATION AT CAVAN. [ From the Dublin Evening Mail, of December 15.] Sanguine as we always. have been in our expecta- tions respecting the results which might emanate from the glorious example of the Cavan conformists, on the minds of the Roman Catholic population at large, we confess we were uot quite - prepared for the conversion of such eminent pillars ofthe ancient church, as some of its most dignified Prelates evi- dently are, at least at so early a period of the Re- formation. Nevertheless, it is quite certain that 011 Wednesday evening, the Most Rev. Doctor Curtis, Roman Cafholic Primate of Ireland, attended by his Suffragans, the Right Rev. Dr. M'Haile, M'Goveran, Reilly, and Croly, did repair to that focus of the Reformation, to which no less than two hundred and fifty- two of their lay brethren had already re- sorted, and as the object of their visit has not yet been authentically announced, we deem it 110 unfair inference that these Rev. Most Rev. and Right Rev. Gentlemen have gone to read their Recantation. The following is from our Special Reporter, com- mencing yesterday morning, and brought down to the hour of post. Thursday morning, 9 o'clock.— Great multitudes are pouring in from all parts of the country to wit- ness the interesting ceremony. The expected ar- rival of the Roman Catholic Pr lutes having been announced 011 Sunday last from the altars of heviral neighbouring cluipels, the most intense anxiety per- vades the body of the people, and it is universally thought that if the Bishops recant, the whole bbd v ofthe people will follow their example " en masse" — a eorishinhmtioii devoutly to be wished, Eleven o'clock.— Several Clergymen of the Esta- blished Church, accompanied by j. li. Gordon, Esq, Captain Verner, & c. have arrived in town, it is sup- posed, to assist in receiving the worthy Conformists into the bospm ofthe Church, and to welcome them to their new Communion. Halt- past eleven o^ clock.— The utmost secrecy is observed on the part of the Prelates. There is to be no public meeting at the chapel or church, to the evident disappointment of the thousands who have come in, several from many miles distant, to witness the interesting spectacle. Twelve o'clock.— And the Bishops have not yet recanted! At tliis hour it - became a moot pciint whether they would recant at all, or whether they would proceed to their ostensible object— namely, the appointment of a Coadjutor Bishop to the Diocese, or to the real business, an inquiry into the late conversions, and a. censure upon the Conform ists. The Gentlemen aud Clergy, therefore, who are interested in the Reformation through a sincere conviction of ils necessity to the salvation of souls, thought no time should be lost in inviting the Most Rev.. Dr. Curtis, and his Suffragans, to a public dis cussion of the points at issue between the Churches of England and Rome, and, accordingly, about 12 o'clock, the following letter was sent;— Cavau, December 14 Most Reverend Sir,— Tbe object of your visit to Cavnu, connected, as it is reported to he, with ibe re- cent conversions from the Roman Catholic to the Pro testnnt Faith, which have taken place in that town an direction of Iscoed. The body of the pack, after . and developed the process iu the Edinburgh Philo- being for some time baffled by the different cross j S0|) hica5 jourim\ six months ago. The advantage scents and the shouting and hallooing of crowds of foot people, at last got settled to it, and away they • went for Bettisfield, the seat of Sir Thomas Han- mer, through the shrubberies and garden, across the park and on to New hall, when lie changed his course and went direct for • the Wyches, which he with difficulty gained, the hounds close at his brush great part of tb « way. Here poor Reynard was obliged to use all his cunning, and tried all his old accustomed haunts, but, alas! could find no friendly shelter. Being soon obliged by his staunch pur- suers once more to venture into the opeu country, and like a brave fellow gaining fresh courage iu proportion to his knowledge of his danger,. scorn- ing the covert, he went off with renewed vigour, in grand style, for Malpas, where the hounds drove him at their very best pace, and being quite close upon him he was obliged, faint and weak, to seek shelter in the house of a Doctor. Being driven thence ( probably for want of a fee), he tried a number of small ^ ardeiis, and still bard pressed from one cottage door to another, he at last found admittance into an old woman's kitchen, where he had no sooner sat down to breathe a bit than the; hounds came dash upon him, and, woe betide their cruelty, scarce gave him time to escape at the front door, w hen seeing the church- yard near, he thought he should find a sanctuary. In this he was right, as the hounds could make him off no further. Whether he got into the church, or might have been a spirit of some huntsman of the olden time come to try the mettle of, hounds and men of these degenerate days, and went to his narrow house again, is not known. From the many obstacles and mischances to be encountered in so long a chase, it was fortunate for the poor horsemen straggling far, who came up in time, . as such a scene of merriment and noise has seldom been seen in the good town of Malpas. May their beauteous damsels and sturdy boys long live to enjoy and laud the pleasures of fox- hunting ! On Monday night, about eleven o'clock, one of the keepers at Heydon Hall, with one of his assist- ants, were watching, when they came upon several poachers, Who immediately pursued theni. Xo this keeper the poachers had more than once vowed destruction, and in the course of the chase often repeated their intention — fortunately he was. a fast runner, and got to a farm house, where, he hid himself for shelter. His companion was,' however, overtaken by them, and most cruelly beaten. The poachers then went to the house where they sup- posed the man to be hidden, called up the . fanner, and searched the premises in vain. After they were gone, the keeper sallied put and made his way to the Hall, where he gave the alarm, and about twentyservants were immediately assembled, who went out, accompanied by the Hon. Mr. Ed- wardes, the son of Lord Kensington, who headed them. Upon their coming up the poachers ran away, and were pursued by the watch across some fields towards a meadow. The poachers, on jump- over the hedge, stopped a f^ w yardi off. The- watch were following, when Mr. Edward, es, who bad sprung upon, and was in the act of jumping' down the hedge, received a stunning blow on the face by a large stone, and as he reeled from the blow one of the poachers shot at and wounded him in the arm and on the side. The gamekeeper ( who had been with great difficulty persnadg4 to load; hisr gun on going out) immediately fired both his barrels at the fellow, who fell apparently dead or most desperately wounded — he dropped on the discharge as if his strength bad left all his limbs. The t wo charges are supposed to have taken effect, one . upon the lower part of: the- neck and the other in the body. Two or three guns were immediately fired by the poachers almost the instant following, and wounded five more persons; one had part of his ear shot off, another his face badly lacerated, and the other three shot in a lesser degree. The poachers, then dragged their man out of tbe ditch into which he had fallen, and carried him away. The watch left them, being anxious to take off their wounded. Mr. E. Lytton Bulwer, who was visiting at Eleydon, and several gentlemen, immediately commenced a pursuit of the poachers on horseback. The blood from the wounded poacher was traced to a long distance, as far as Cawston Wood- row, where the track was lost, as they appeared to have walked on the turf. They were. seen at Bootpn by a person, and about six in the morning a large party were also observed as if making their way to this city or the adjacent villages. Application was made to Sir Richard Birnie at the Bow- street office, on Wednesday, for. the assistance Of the London police to detect this desperate gang of poacherr who were stated by the gentlemen who attended, to amount to not less than thirty- five in number, all of them well armed. Sir Richard directed one of the most active officers to proceed into Norfolk without delay, observing that between the armed smugglers on the coast, and the poachers inland, the, country was ia a lamentable states— N. orwi- ck Post. of: thpse lamps is, that they will burn for a whole $ f<>' h't, or s. eries of night's, without the slightest change in the size of brightness'of the flame, and are thus admirably calculated for a chamber where a sick person sleeps. Various' improvements have recently been made upon them ; but. we are most pleased with what we believe to be the original form, which is beautifully simple. One Of those capillary glass tubes used by milliners, and called bugle beads ( about half an inch longj'is fixed info a semicircular copper or tin cup, about an inch- in diameter. . The cup floats upon the top of the oil with its cavity upmost. The glass tube stands up- right within it, opeu . at. both ends, and with its lower end, which passes through the cup, immersed in the oil. The cup is so loaded that the upper orifice of the tube is just a hair- breadth or two above the level of the oil on the outside ofthe pup. Theoil thus rises easily to the surface of the tube without running over,, and when a light is; appiied it takes fire, and produces a small but bright and steady flame. As the oil burns down, the cup, floating on its surface, descends with it, and thus it is of no consequence whether there be much or little oil in the lamp, as the supply at the orifice is always the same. The lamp should consist of a small crystal vessel, that the light, as it descends, may pass through its sides. A minute crust of carbonaceous matter collects at the orifice where the flame is, and requires to be removed once in the day, or two days; but for this circumstance there would be no limit to the burning of these lamps.— Scotsman, COTTAGES.— Sir John Sinclair, in the 4th vol. of Communications to the Board of Agriculture, con- cludes his. paper with asking— a If any. one can figure to himself a more delightful spectacle than to see an industrious cottager, Iti9 busy wife and healthy family, living in a comfortable house, rented by himself, cultivating their little territory with their own hands, and enjoying the profits arising from their own labour & industry? or whether it is possible for a generous landholder to employ his property with more satisfaction, or in a manner more likely to promote, not only his own, but the public interest, thau by endeavouring to increase the number of such cottagers, aud encouraging, byevery means in his power, the exertions of so meritorious and so important a class of the community ?" By the 31st of Elizabeth, e. 7. it is provided, that iio cottages shall be built in the country without there be set four acres of land lying near the same, to be continually occupied therewith. It is much to be regretted that this act, instead of being wholly repealed,- was not modified: it would have averted an immense mass of misery, and would have prevented the. expense of poorjs rates in agricultural districts. Although four acres may be considered more land than is necessary for cultivation by a cottager's family, unless they were enabled to keep a cow, it sufficiently shews what the prevailing opinions respecting the peasantry were at that period, and also that the Government did not con- sider it beneath their dignity and consequence to enact a law for their protection. If a portion of land, was at that period deemed essential to the happiness aud well doing of the peasantry, how much more so must' it be at this time. We could scarcely name a subject which would more worthily occupy the attention of Parliament at the present time, as regards the happiness of the agricultural poor, thau the passing a law to prohibit the erection of any cottages in the country, unless at least one acre of land was adjoined, at a rent equal to, but not more than, what the farmer pays. This would be a modification of the 3lst of Elizabeth, aud would draw down on the benevolent and patriotic member who would propose it the blessings of the poor. Great credit, no doubt, is due to those individuals who establish and support eleemosynary institutions for the relief of existing distress; but how much more consonant it is with the character of the Christian philosopher, to so dispose the esources which may happen to be in his power, as to avert the painful and man- degrading necessity of depending on charitable contributions or' parish pay for bare subsistence. This is the only way to raise the charact er of our peasantry from its present low aud humiliated state. It enables them to eat the sweet bread of independence, which produces con tentment and a condition of mind adapted for reli- gious and moral impressions. neighbourhood, will, we trust, he considered a sufficient apology for the present . communication; If we'are correct in the assumption, that inquiry, either of a public or private nature, is about to be in- stituted into tlie subject, we have no hesitation in stating it as our. conviction, thai the" causes of the separation will be found in the differences which exist between the doctrines and practice . of the Roman Catholic and Pro- testant Churches. Willi this impression upon our minds, we consider it due to the motives of the Conformists, ' well as the cause with which they have voluntarily chosen to identify themselves, to request that yourself and those Members-. of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, by wHorn you are aecomptinied, would consent to a public discus- sion of the subject. If truth be the object of that sys- tem which it is'the office of the Roman Catholic Chu'rch to administer and conserve in this, country, she has ' nothing to apprehend from the effects of popular dis- cission, while the .. members of her communion visiting Cavan and its ncighbouihood, would be afforded tlie best opp'ortuniiy of eoutrasling the reasons and argu- ments advanced iu support of their faith with those which are now so generally alleged in behalf of the op- posite belief. This invi'tation, Sir, we can assure you, is not put forward hy us in a spirit of polemical bravado, on the. contrary,, it ib respectfully submitted as a public justi- fication of the principles aud motives by which we have been actuated in the duty of attempting to inculcate Upon Roman Catholics the principles of ^ hat we con- sider a purer faith, and we liave reason to know, that the opportunity which we request i- s not less anxiously desired by Roman Catholics themselves. Should this invitation be accepted by yourself and theOther Prelates by whom you are accompanied on this visit, or by delegated representatives on your be- half, we would suggest that three of the undersigned,- with an equal number of Gentlemen appointed by your- selves, shall immediately proceed to the arrangement of preliminary measures for the discussion. We have the honour to he, Most Reverend Sir, your very obedient humble Servants, ( Signed) ANDREW M4CREIGI1T, RICHARD T. P. POPE, J E. CORDON, GEORGE SPUGHT, JAMES COLLINS. P. S.~ It is respectfully requested that an answer be forwarded to the Kev. Mr. Spaight. To the Most Reverend Doctor Curtis, and the other Roman Catholic Pre- lates assembled at Cavan, Sic. & c." Half- past two o'clock.— It ie necessary to add, that the Gentlemen who signed the foregoing invita- tion, after having waited a sufficient time to receive an answer, deputed the Rev. George Spaight, and the Rev. Horatio Montagu, to inquire whether any answer would be returned. These Gentlemen waited on Dr. Curtis, at his inn, and sent their compliments by the waiter, to know whether a reply to the in- vitation would be sent. The waiter brought back word to them, that Dr. Curtis did not consider any reply necessary, and that none would be given. This answer coming through a servant, not appear- ing sufficiently authentic, Mr. Spaight and Mr. Montagu waited 011 the Rev. Pat. Reilly, P. P. of Cavan, and Vicar General of the Diocese, and per- sonally inquired of him, whether the foregoing answer, as reported by the servant, was correct; he replied, that it was perfectly correct, and that no dnsuter would be gwen. This determination of the Most Reverend and Right Reverend Prelates'not to meet the Clergy of the Established Chtirch, aud the other friends of Christianity, in discussion, is no doubt very dignl ficd~~ b\ it their own people feel and acknowledge that it is equally prudent. Truth to say, the appearance of the Biblical* in Cavan, in pretty- strong numbers to- day, seems to trave completely disconcerted the plans of the Romish Hierarchy. There is no doubt whatever that a grand display was intended— in fact, a ser- mon in the chapel had been announced— but when it was known that Mr. Pope and some of his friends were within call, probably within hearing, and would call their Popish Reverences in question con- cerning the things pertaining to salvation— those Prelates who, though " as wise as serpents," are Tooth- Ache and Ear- Ache.

Dreadful Catastrophe al Bristol. FURTHER. PARTICULARS. IFP. OM THE BRISTOL MERCURY.] One of those aw ful visitations that seem to set ni: defiance all the' calculations of human prudence, occurred in this city, on Friday night; the fata! consequences of which have thrown a deep gloom over the city, and excited the most painful seusa- tions in every breast not utterly destitute of humau sympathy. The story is one of such heart- rending woe, such appalling misery, as to render . most diffi- cult the task of recording the horrible details; but shocked as may be the feelings at reading those' details, their publication, by the awful lesson they convey, may prove beneficial, by awakening the: public to the necessity of guarding against this destructive element, where impunity may have hitherto seemed to render more than ordinary pre- caution unnecessary. The alarm of fire was first made about half- past eleven o'clock; the first notice appeared to be given to the'public by Mr. Oxley, al whose premises, in Wine- street, it occurred. Wc cannot vouch for out- accuracy with respeet to the origin of this calami- tous fire; but from the inquiries we have made, corroborated by evidence on the inquest, we do not doubt its correctness. There were ill the house Mr. and Mrs-. Oxley, ail infant six weeks, old, and a child about seven, who were sleeping in the front room on the first floor; the shop girl and a child about four years old in the attic, and the servant maid with two others iu the garret. These were the whole of the inmates. The house is oneofthose built, like many others in large cities, more for tho convenience of trade than residence; the staircase was narrow, and there were no back rooms. The fire originated in the bed- room ow the first floor. It appears that a candle or rushlight was kept con- stantly burning, and from the smallness of the room it was necessarily near the bed. Mrs. Osley had awoke with the intention of suckling her infant, ud while the child was at the breast she fell asleep. It is feared that ia moving the bed- clothes she must have put them in contact with the caudle. Mr, Oxley was awoke by a sensation of apparent sufl'ocation, and what must have been his horror to find his bed, on which himself, his wife, and infant were Ijiug, in flames, and the room fiiled to the most suffocating degree with smoke'. He first attempted to extinguish the flames, but without effect; and by which his face, his bands, aud arms w re dreadfully burnt. He then tried to rouse his wife, but if sha was awake she must have tainted instantly. Finding he could not rouse her, and losing bis presence o£ mind from excess of pain, agitation, and suffocation, he ran down stairs naked as he was, and rushed, into the street, crying out for assistance. Tha flames in the windows had, by this time, collected some half dozen persons in front of the house; in reply to their questions, the unhappy husband aud father could only exclaim, " Oh ! for God's sake, save my wife; save my children! there are three* children at the top of the house!" I- le attempted to rush back into the house; but, the moment he opened the door, the narrow staircase acted like a flue, and put the whole premises in one blaze of liquid fire; the burning element poured out of every window, reaching half across the street. Just previous to this moment the attic window was observed to open, and a young woman with ail infant, four years old, both iu a state of nudity, presented themselves to the view of the crowd which was beginning to collect. They begged her to remain a few minutes till a ladder was brought j but so rapidly were the flames gaining on her, that in her despair she threw the child out: it fell on the lead that projects from under the drawing- room window ; a man rushed across the street to catch it ^ his arm broke the fall, but it rebounded to the pavement. It was taken up bruised, but- not sa severely as . might be expected; it will recover In a moment after the child reached the ground, the* young woman was seen to throw herself from the window ; she also fell upon the leads, and she waa then caught by the people below; she is much bruised and cut about tbe head and legs, but she is doing well. The servant girl had escaped out of the back garret window, through Mr. Batten's house, taking with her one of the children. The remain- ing three children, with tbe unfortunate mother, fell victims to the devouring element! The details of the appearance they presented, when found, are too horrible and disgusting to recapitulate. We must refer our readers to the evidence that was takeu at the Inquest. The engines arrived within a quarter of nn hour or twenty minutes ofthe first alarm of tha fire; and to the great exertions that were mada may be attributed the safety ofthe adjoining premises, and that it was confined to tbe house where it first broka out. The fire was entirely got under about half- past one or two o'clock. We never heard of a fire so dreadfully fatal lo human life, so little destructive of property. There were numerous depredators present; but the neigh bours, immediately the shop door was broken Open, took possession of the property, and, with the assist- ance of some large ( ire bags, which Mr. T. Fry, of Wiuc- street, always keeps by liim, and which have, been frequently instrumental in the saving of pro- perty on such occasions, they carefully removed nearly the whole. THE INQUK- TT. At eleven o'clock on Saturday morning, J. II. Grindon, Esq the coroner, held an inquest at the Plume of Feathers, in Wine- street. The jury first went and inspected the mutilated remains of tha four bodies. The body of Mrs. Oxlcy was lying ou a pallet; on partially removing the coverlet, ona of the most shocking spectacles we ever witnessed presented itself: not a particle of flesh remained, and the bones appeared a mere cinder ready to crumble into ashes; the legs and arms were all broken short oft'at the- first joints. The bones of the two youngest were lying together in a box, and the other body w as taken up in a sheet, all lying on one bed. The jury were strongly moved at this shocking spectacle, and withdrew, with feelings of grief and horror depicted in their countenances. The names of the sufferers were— Sophia Oxley, tbe mother, aged about 35 ; and William, Sophia, and Ann, the children, varying from six weeks ' u nine years, but we have uot been able to ascertain the precise age of each. The Jury were occupied for a long time in hearing evidence touching this disaster, after which they returned a verdict of " Accidentally Bur. it." There was a great sensation created among tha Jury by the answer of one of the firemen, that he did not think it his duty to inquire, when he brought his engine, whether the inmates cf the premises on fire were safe. Perhaps the answer was inadvert- ently given, though there was an apparent want of feeling in the manner that called forth. the strongest reprobation of the Jury. Before they separated, they desired the Coroner to convcy their opinion to the magistrates that firemen should generally be impressed with the necessity, in the event of any future fire, of first directing their attention to tha preservation of human life: and the engine- keepers should be instructed to send their ladders at the earliest possible moment; for it was thought, if a ladder had been there at an early period ou the present occasion, several lives might have been saved.
