CAUTION TO TIIE PUBLIC. As Ihere is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE a Person has tbe Pretension to say that lie is the on Proprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fact he perhaps the only oue that has not the genuine Bear s Grease • but if tbe Purchasers will give themselves the Trouble of smelling il with Attention, they will easily discover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- ture of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, nnd Mutton Suet, perfumed wilh a little Bergamo! ; whicb, from having analyzed it, J. DELCROIX can assert to lie a Fact. Such Composition, in Lien of being beneficial to the Preservation or Growth of tbe llair, has a decidedly contrary effect ; Oil of Almonds, iu particular, being of n very desicative Nature, and uot of a nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re- garded as one of the best Articles for promoting the Growth of tbe Hair. Therefore, to prevent the Public from falling into Error by using such Imitations, which arc so insulting to the common Understanding, and in Order lo detect the spurious from the genuine Bear's Grease, J. DBI. CROIX begs to give a brief Description of it : — Tbe Fat of the Animal, when he receives it in Casks from Russia, is ralher offensive, and ofa Yellow Reddish Hue bill when purified, it resembles very much the Mixture of Veal Fat and Beef Marrow, wilh less of Tinge, and although it is of moderate Consistence, yet it is ol an oily and rich Nature.

XPERIENCE during a very lono . li Period has incontestibly proved the superior Efficacy of this Medicine, iu all Cases of Colds, Coughs, and Asthmatic Affections. By promoting gentle Expectoration, it very shortly relieves tin Patient of a slight or recent Cold, and a few Doses are generally sufficient to remove those which Neglect has rendered more confirmed and obstinate, and which are accompanied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, and otherseriousSyinptons. Its peculiar Balsamic Powers tend to heal Soreness, and allay the Irritation of tbe Lung's, in Cases of Cough ; and iu Asthmatic Affec- tions it assists and gives Freedom to the Breath.

When promptly and copiously rubbed in, it cures Rheumatism, Chil- blains, the Cramp, Sprains and Bruises, & c. If dis- solved, & applied on tbe first Appearance of Chilblains, it prevents their breaking.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY < 22. I11 answer to the report that was circulated yester- day of the decease of the Duke of Cumberland, we have only to say that no such rotnmiiuicalion had been received op lo a lale hour last night, cither at the Foreign office or tbe residence of ihe Duke of Cumberland ; but a letter was received yesterday at the Foreign- office, dated the 6th instant, from a gentleman attached lo tbe English embassy al Berlin, which says, " The King of Prussia is recovering from the effects of his lale accident, as is the Duke of Cumberland from his severe cold mid inflammation of the chest."— Courier, Tuesday.

The will of the late Mr. Ruiulell, of Ludgate- hill, London, was proved on Tuesday. The stamp for the probate was ±' 15,000, as tbe personal etfecln amounted to £ 1,- 200,000. Thi- » immense sum N distributed among the relatives ( we believe nephews and nieces of Ihe deceased); the principal legatee is Mr. Neale, of Norfolk. street, who will receive £ 400,000 ; Mr. Bond, of Ware, is also lo have £ 33,000. It is said that Lady Georgiann M. Walpole, who has been recently married to Mr. Wolff, tbe converted Jew, and Missionary from Palestine, intends to ac- company her husband to Jerusalem, whither b'e \ a about to proceed this summer. On Thursday, between ten and eleven o'clock, Colonel Ptirden arrived at the Colonial Office, in Downing- street, in a chaise and four, having landed on the coast of Cornwall, bringing dispatches witli an account of the decease of the King of the Ashan- tees, in consequence of the four wounds his Majesty* received in the celebrated battle in which Colonel Purden distinguished himself, as Commander of the British forces. The King was accompanied to the field of battle by 29 of his wiy? s. The King's great Chief has also died since the battle. Soon after the battle was over, tha surrounding native troops took possession of the bodies of the slain Ashantees, cut off their heads, and were very expert ill separating the jaw bones, to take home with them as proofs of their victory. When Genera) M'Carthy was taken, the King of the Ashantees had his head taken off, and worshipped it in a libation of rum. Colonel Purden has since got possession of it. During the conflict, the Colonel was wounded in the tbigh. No less than three attempts were made to poison him. On his voyage home he was nearly shipwrecked off the Rocks of Scilly. He left England about three years ago, with the rank of Major; the late Duke of York subsequently promoted him to the rank of Colonel of the Royal African Corps. Il has been resolved by llie Admiralty that another expedition lo the North Pole shall be undertaken j aed, inconsequence, the Ileda has been undergoing repairs for the last four mouths in tbe Dock- yard at Deplford, preparatory to selling out a third lime, under the command „ f Captain Parry, Tbe vessel is to proceed lo Cloven Cliff, in Spitzbeigen, latitude 79. 50. about six hundred miles from thl: North Pole, which place, it is expected, she will reach about Ihe : ommeiieeiiienl of June, Here the i. malo, and be established as a sort of bead- quarters, to which recourse is lo be had when necessary, and parties are to be detached to explore the surrounding coasts anil seas, while tbe main object of tbe expedi- ion, an approach lo tbe North Pole, is attempted by Captain Parry's party. The Captain is lo depart with two vessels, which are so constructed as to be apable of being used either as boats, or sledges lo on upon the ire, according to circumstances. Two Officers and ten men are to be appointed to each, and r this number provisions for three tnoulhs are to be d in each. Thus, should they be able lo travel, ou an average, fourteen miles per day, and meet wills no obstacles, they wil! be able lo reach ihe long- wished- for Pole, and return to the Hecla after the accom- plishment of Iheir object. Captain Franklin, last year, offered himself to undertake a journey ou tbe ice from Spitsbergen to the Pole. The first who set a bold example in ibis mode of travelling was B^. rou Wrangell. He had only sledges with which to accom- plish bis journey oo the ice, and his only subsistence while travelling was dried fish, on which he lived forly days while going on the ice, uuiil be was slopped by tbe water, and exposed to dangers for which he was totally unprovided, ' I he Baron passed nearly four years on the ice iu this climate.

The Ear! of Moi> MTCASHEL, in presenting a petition from several magtslihtes of the county of Tipperury, against submitting4 to tiie demands of the Roman Catii lies, explained that that petition ex- pressed the feeling1* of a; least six- anient ha of the Protestants of Ireland— though the system of terror enforced by the Popish priests deter-. ed many from avowing their seulimeiiis. The noble Earl ascribed, all the misery and Biiacomhict of the lower orders in tiie Sister Kingdom to the pernicious influence of t. heir priests.— Lord CLJ^ DSK_ defended the priests, and the petition Wiif received.

Mr. F. BUXTON moved for some papers, explanatory of the stale of the slave trade in fhe Mauritius. According to the statements of the Hon Member, this abominable traffic' is carried on in the colony alluded to, to a riiig'. rneefnl extent; to an extent, indeed, which seems to demand the peremptory interference uf the mother country, Mr. PBEL, iu reply to A question by Mr. Brougham, announced . that the bill for the regulation of tiie Court of Chancery is ready to be iu trod need, whenever the author of it ( the Master of the Rolls) shall have the opportunity of an open day. Col. MABERLY called tlie attention of the Home to a petition, complaining of a vote said to have beea agretd to by the majority of the Corporation of North- ampton, granting £ 1000 to defray the expenses of one of the eundidut. es » t tha lat « ejection. He treated the vote as a breach of trust, and a violation of the privileges of Parli- ament, for which the. ordinary courts uiforded no remedy, and moved for a select committee to investigate the charge embodied in the petition.— The ATTORHEY- GSHRRAL contended, that il the corporation had been guilty of a breach of trust, they were amenable to the Court of Chancery; and denied fthat u- gift, whether by a corporation or by nn individual, to enable a candidate to defray the fair expenses of an election ( and nothing unfair was here suggested), could be tortured into a breach of privi- lege.— Mr. SPRING RICE supported the prayer of the petition. — Mr. PKKL, confessing that he entertained some doubts of the discreetness of tho grant, contended for the' right of a corporation to dispose at pleasure of its surplus fund's, after all the proper charges upon it had been provided for j and cited' the graat of £ 1,000 made by the Corporation of Load- on to the Greeks, a » well as the annual grants of the same corporation to the Lord Ma> or, to enable him to maintain due hospitality,— After a few words from Aid.

Earl BATHURST moved that the order for the consi- deration of the Com Laws on Monday be discharged, in consequence of the lamented illness of the Earl of Liverpool. Tha noble Secretary stated that resolu- tions, explaining tiie whole scope' of the measures intended to be proposed by Miniatersy would be moved on a future day in the Commons, and that their Lord- ships would be thus supplied with th* means of judging whether or not further inquiry would be necessary. He expressed his intention to oppose any RiotioB for a general inquiry, as it must embrace the state of agri- culture in this country, which had already been the object of frequent investigations, and with which any of'their Lordships were better acquainted than the witnesses who could be brought before them. But an inquiry limited to the amount of the rate at which importers coulti bring' their corn into the market, if deemed advisable by the House, should meet wilh no resistance from him. The Earl of LAUORROALB', after doing justicd to the merits of the Earl - of Liverpool, as a public man, a private individual, and a political opponent, stated that if further inquiry should appear to him necessary, he should give ample notice to the noble Secretary and the House of any motion which he might nrnke on the subject. HOUSE OF COMMONS THURSDAY. Mr. PKRL obtained leave to bring in — Ut. A bill to consolidate and amend the laves relating to burglary, larceny, and robbery. 2d. A similar bill, relating to malicious injuries to property. 3d. A similar bill, relating to remedies agaitist the Hundred. 4th. A bill to " repeal several Acts relating to larceny, bur- glary, aud robbery ; to muiicious injuries to property ; and to remedies against the Hundred. The might Hon. Gentleman introduced his motion by an able speech upon the subject, in which he commented with much force on the unmeaning and perplexing phrase- ology hitherto used in Acts of Parliament. Lord ALTHORPR, Mr. J. C. HOBHOUSB, and other gentlemen, bore testimony to the services of the Right . Hon. Secretary ; and leave was unaaimously given to b r in & r i" t h « .( n- o nosed hills. HOUSE OF LORDS- FKUJAY. Viscount I ORTON presented a petition from the Protestants of Sligo against submitting to the demands of the Roman Catholics The Noble Viscount, intio. duced the petition in a very able speech, . in which he professed his ardent desire for the emancipation of those iu Ireland, who really stand iu need of it ; fosr the emancipation of the Protestants, who are, ns he could conscientiously assert, the most oppressed class of his Majesty's subjects. Vilified and insulted by the laity of the Roman Catholics in their Dublin con- vention, proscribed by the priesthood, and even threatened with an exterminating massacre by the priests, the Protes ants must be driven from their country, if not supported by tlie legislature, and by the people of England. There ® seemed to be, his Lordship said, noaltornative but to foster and advance the renewed reformation in Ireland, which, with such aid as this country could afford, must rapidly succeed, or to witness the utter extinction of the Protestant religion in that kingdom. In proof of these opinious Lord Lorton read some extracts from the inflammatory letters of Doctor Doyle— gave some quotations from the incendiary Popish journals, of Dublin,— and cited the following passage from a letter written by a Popish priest in the county of Roscommon : — 44 Friends— I regret to have to mention and to verify the truth of my learned friend, who spoke before me, that Mahon has deserted our cause ; but a time will come, when you will Hrrd we shall not be deceived. SSL Lortou shall no more ride rough shod over the independence of Roscommon. Then I expect you will rally round your cause and support it from the bigotry that at present prevails. u Blood has been shed in France, blood has been shed in Spain and Italy, and why should not Ireland assert her rights ?" Lord KING complained of the length at which Viscount Lorton spoke; and proposed to refute all the allegations of his speech, by contrasting with them the complaints- of some Roman Catholic petition- erg, v » ho, in a petition which he held in his hand, described themselves as the objects of proscription find persecution. He compared the complaints of the Protestants lo the fable of the Wolf and the Lamb ; and appealed to the. Lord Chancellor against the practice of making long speeches upon presenting petitions. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he had certainly drolared himself unfriendly to long speeches upou such occasions, and remarked that with regard lo the allusion to the Wolf and the Lamb, it was well known whether the persons who tmiully confided their peti- tions to the Noble Baron more resembled Wolves or Lambs ; in conclusion he declared that the deliberate conviction to which he had come, after 55 years' consideration ofthe demands ofthe Roman Catholics, was, that to grant them would bo to betray the civil and religious interests of the country. Viscount LORTON also presented other petitions with a fcimilar prayer ; and some of an opposite ' description were presented by the Marquis of Lans down, Lord Clare, and others. Many olher petitions were presented by the Bishop: of Gloucester and Exeter, Lord Powi « , arid various noblemen ; they all related to the. Roman Catholic or Corn Question. BANKRUPTS, FBRROAKY 23.

BOUSE OF LORDS— MONDAY. The Earl of MALMESEURY presented a petition from Bridgnorth, in favour of the Corn Laws, and praying for protection to the Landed and Farming Interests. The House was wholly occupied this evening in receiving petitions, for and against the Catholic Claims, and against any alteration in the Corn Laws. HOUSE OF COM M ON S-— M ON DA Y. J. CressETT PsELKASf, Esq. presented Petitions from Oswestry and from Newport, praying for pro- tection to be continued to the Landed and Farming Interests. Mr. SLANEY presented a petition from Shrews- bury^ praying that protection might be continued to the landed and farming interests. Many other Petitions were presented- against any alteration ofthe Corn Laws; and there were also a great number of Petitions presented against and for the Roman Catholic Claims.. The adjourned debate on Lord AHhorpe's resolu- tion fotMhe appointment, of a Select Committee fo consider of the means of preventing and punishing Bribery at Elections, was resumed, and, after a lengthened discussion, the debate was again ad- journed till Friday; and the House rose at a quarter past one o'clock. The Roman Catholic Question. The following is a copy of the Petition, now in course of Signature in our Town Hall, and to which several hundred Names are already attached :— To the Honourable the Commons of ihe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,. in *. Parliament assembled ••—< We,', whose Names are hereunto subscribed, th © Major, Aldermen, Burgesses, and Inhabitants of the Town and Neighbourhood of Shrewsbury, beg leave humbly to approach your HonourabIe.: House,! tind to express our great concern; on hearing that it is in- tended again, during the present Session^,-, to proceed to the painful agitation oMhe, R. o. tnar) Ques- tion, with a view of granting further concessions of Political Power to the Roman Catholics of these Realms. Your Petitioners rejoice most sincerely iu the removal of many restrictions, which were formerly thought necessary to be imposed upon persons pro- fessing the Roman Catholic Religion, andfas sincerely wish them the' free and undisturbed exercise and enjoyment of their own religious opinions. Your Petitioners vvoivld also unfeignedl'y rejoice, could they persuade themselves that those dangers had, ceased to exist, which justified their Ancestors in excluding Roman Catholics from the higher trusts of Legislative aud Executive Power, and that the time was now come when ali political restrictions might with safety to the Constitution be removed. But, referring to the page of History, a » d more especially to the recent proceedings of what, is termed the Catholic Association in Ireland, which avowedly is said to represent the sentiments of the persons professing the Roman Catholic Religion, — your Petitioners feel themselves called upon to declare their deliberate eohyietion, that the most dangerous and obnoxious tenets of the Church of Rome have received in the course of years no salutary modification ; that the intolerant decrees of their Councils, and the decisions of their P.- pes ( to whom they own their first Allegiance), the sol? cri- terion by which the principles of that Church can be ascertained, have not been rescinded ; and, therefore, that the granting of further Political Power would greatly endanger our Protestant. Constitution, and consequently that Civil and Religious, Libertf, which this Country has so happily enjoyed under it's pro- tection. In submitting these representations to your Honourable House, your Petitioners disclaim air party- feelings, all personal animosities ; and, whilst they are anxious to live in social intercourse wiik, and to manifest feelings of kindness and good- will towards their Christian Brethren eooscientiously professing the tenets of the Roman Catholic Church, they at the same time think themselves called upos, from the motives stated by your Petitioners, to raise their warning voice against the admission of Roman Cat ho- lies to Political Power, which, were it granted, so far from, insuring permanent tranquillity, would, in the opinion of your Petitioners, but increase the eagerness of their struggle for those ulterior objects, which, con- cession so important would seem to bring within iheir reach. The Rev. Mr. Franklin, Chief Grammar Master of Christ's Hospital, at Hertford, has been unanimously presented by the Governors to the vicarage of Albrighton, near Shiffnal, in this county. The Earl of Onslow died on Thursday afternoon, at his seat at Clandon, near Guildford. His Lord- ship had been confined to the house a few days only. Mr. Serjeant Vaughan on Saturday morning took the oaths in the Lord Chancellor's private room, upon his elevation to the Bench, as one of the Barons of the Exchequer, vice Mr. Baron Graham, resigned. The Ipswich Election Committee have declared the sittiug members, Col. Torrens and Mr. llaldimand, unduly returned, and that Messrs. Mackinnon and Dund- is were duly elected for that borough. Lord Liverpool's illness is a national calamity. Perhaps no statesman ever stood higher in public opinion : the integrity of his Lordship's character ensured to him both respect and confidence. There has been a moral honeaty in the entire of his political career, which gave currency to his opinions with men of all parties; aud the King has possessed in him a servant ofthe moat valuable description. His great political experience had qualified him as a Minister, and his views have always appeared to b © grounded upon the basis of plain sense. None doubted his word, and his actions had the ornament of consistency. YYe hope his Country may still enjoy at no distant period a return of some of those advantages which are derivable from his knowledge and skill in her diversified interests. B& TH.— At the present interesting period, when the progress of conversion appears to be advancing in Ireland with rapid strides, it is with feelings of unfeigned satisfaction we hear, that, by the concur- rent exertions of the venerable Bishop of Salisbury and the Archbishop of Dublin, a subscription has been opened for the Relief of Conformed Roman : Catholic Priests. We understand, that in London a Committee has been formed, with the Bishop of Salisbury at the head of it; the primary objects of which are, lo provide subsistence for conscientious sufferers, who, by their renunciation of the errors of Popery, ara become dependent on a Protestant Public, and to make them useful labourers . in. disseminating the knowledge of the Scriptures. The subscription has already been countenanced by the heads of the Irish church, and by a considerable list of persons connected with the Metropolis, with Salrshoi^ ind Cheltenham ; and it is with pleasure we hear that the number of subscribers has recently b - en increased by the names of several persons of respectability in this place.

TRRVOR.— This gentleman was a dignhary and ornament of our Cathedral Church more than 30 years, and held the livings of Eustham and West- Kirby, in this county. After a protracted affliction, deepened by domestic sorrows iu tlie be- reavement of children, yrt tempered with that graci- ous support which enabled him to sustain them all with a fortitude truly christian, he entered into hi. rest on Sunday evening, about 7 o'clock, iu the 56th year of his age.— The family ties dissolved by bis death — the loss of husband aud father— will awaken the teuderest sympathies, which may yet perhaps be confined more immedialely within the sanctuary of relatives and friends; and we hope the sure promise will be realized to those who have tbe heaviest share of this trouble—" Leave thv falherless children, I will preserve Ihem alive ; and let thy widows trust in me." — Bui as public journalisls we should feel it to he n dereliction of duty to omit this opportunity of hearing our unqualified testimony to the worth of the deceased, as a truly pious clergyman of the Established Church, and a most humane and charitable member of society, whose loss must be keenly felt aud deplored. — Cluster Chronicle, Feb, vary 23, 1827.

A Grand Fancy Ball, in honour of His Majesty's Accession, took place at the Theatre Royal, Bath, on Wednesday last.—- In the list of the company present, we perceive the names of Miss Bohnor, Hon. Miss Wrottesley, General Sir T. Dallas, K. C. B.; Messrs, R. Bonnor Maurice, Bonnor, Mostyn Pryce ; Captain Lloyd Phillippi ( Royal Cardigan Rifle Corps), & c. & c. The rejoicings at Oswestry and in Montgomery- shire, in celebration of the coming of age of E Lloyd Gatacre, Esq. were noticed in our last and preceding Journals.— At Claverley, iu which parish Gatacre Hall, the family residence of this most ancient House is situated, th « happy event was celebrated in an appropriate manner, by ox- roasting, & c.; and noble ox, with the usual accompaniments, was also given to the poor families in the vicinity, by Colonel Galacre,— At Bridgnorth, the event was celebrated by sheep. roasting and other customary demonstrations. HORSE STEALING.— In addition to the many valuable horses previously stolen from this vicinity one was stolen from Meole 011 Monday night last.— It is evident, that some parties well acquainted with the localities of this neighbourhood are ip con, federacy with the persons who actually ride the horses away; or it would have been impossible that so many valuable animals should have beeu taken off without the apprehension of the offenders. — To Buch a pitch is this crime arrived throughout the kingdom, and so much exposed is property of this description in. general, that there can be no doubt, some awful examples will be made of convicted offenders on the approaching Circuits Inquests have beeu held, before S. P. Southam, Gent. Coroner, on the 16th inst at The Nash, on the body of George Phillips, an infant, 2 years old, who, being left alone by his mother for a few moments, tumbled into a pot of scalding water ; < ip the 24th inst. at Morville, on the body of Julia Boden, an infant, accidentally burnt to death ; and at Millson, on the body of William Wilkes, an infant, also accidentally burnt to death.— Verdicts accord- ingly. On Wednesday, tbe 21st inst. an inquest was held at the George Inn, Market Drayton, before J. Dickon, Gent. Coroner, ou the body of Mr. John Barnett, of Hales, who met his death under the following melancholy circumstances:— It appeared in evidence, that as Mr. Baruett was returning home from Whitchurch market, on Friday, the 16th instant, in company with his brother- in- law, on their entrance into Drayton, his horse trod upon some ice, which caused him to trip and fall with great force, pitching Mr. B. 011 his head upon the pavement, and bruising him so dreadfully that no hope was entertained of his recovery ; he lingered until Wednesday, when death put a period to his sufferings.— Verdict, Accidental Death.— Mr. B. was universally respected amongst his neighbours and friends. Henry Carney, convicted at the last October Sessions for this town and liberties, for receiving goods stolen from the shop of Mr. Phillips, mercer, and sentenced to be transported for 14 years, hat had his sentence commuted to 6 months' imprison- ment, to be computed from the day of his trial. CAUTION.— A man bas lately been carrying about a petition in the neighbourhood of Oswestry, with forged names to it; and it is to be hoped that he will fall in with some one who will detain him, and take him before a Magistrate as a vagrant, that he may be punished for obtaining money under false presences. ACCIDENTS.— On Tuesday evening Francis Jones, a miller, in the employ of Mr. Brooine, at The Isle Mill, near this town, died in consequence of having the preceding night gone to sleep in a close room, wherein himself and another man had made a char- coal fire, without their master's knowledge. The companion of the unfortunate mail was vrith diffi- culty recovered from the state of stupor in which both were found ort Tuesday morning. On Wednesday, a fine boy, the sou of Mr. Weston, skinner, of this town, was drowned in the Severn, near the Union Wharf. Having ventured on the ice too near the edge that extended towards the open stream, the brittle formation gave way under him, and. he nuhappi y sunk to rise po more.

Again, Dr. Milnev is charged with having fal'tti staled, tint Dr. H alii fax. Bishop of St. Asaph, wished to die a Catholic. 1 have referred to the statement, and I find lhat Dr. Mjlner, without vouching for llie truth of it, merely say,, " / h, ire heen informed mi good authority." What particular grounds lie may have had for believing his inforuialiqii, 1 know not. But of this I. am firmly persuaded, that he would not have made the statement, had lie nut judged lhat h « had sufficient, aud honourable grounds for it — and still farther I am persuaded, that lie would have been most willing lo withdraw the statement, had it been satisfactorily shewn, that he was misinformed. This certainly has never yet been done. If indeed strength oi language were strength of argument. Dr. Parr mar be said to have disproved the statement. But all Dr, Parr's strong language amounts but lo negative evi- dence, against Dr. Milner's positive information. Not one of the numerous persons mentioned by Dr. Parr, as far as ! know, has ever yef denied the trtlih of the statement. I will here add', in support of Dr. Milner's general assertion, that I have mvself'beeu' called to attend, as a catholic priest, different persons, on their dealh- heds, who, after having lived Protest- ants, have wished to die Catholics. Not ninny venrX ago, I was called to attend two such persons ' iii tim course of ono week. Tiie most mischievous charge against the deceased Prelate, is m a pretended quotation from his writings. When 1 first read the passage, I was astonished, and perplexed — I was astonished, because I felt fully convinced, that such a sentiment, as is there ex- pressed, was nerer written, nor ever entertained hy Dr. Milner— I was perplexed, became ihe writer bad not referred to the work, from which tbe passage was pretended to hare been taken. 1 have since stetl, in a Bristol Newspaper, a second letter from the same writer, in which be says, that the passage is taken from Ihe F. nd of Controversy. He teiis u< however that " lie has".( very conveniently for hiiiiseif) " mis! laid the noted page and passage" written and printed in the work alluded to." I have read the work from beginning to end: but ( such may be the weakness of my memory) I have not ihe slightest recollection of such n passage, nor of any . passage ul all similar to it i while, at the same time, I call recollect many passages expressing a directly opposite sentiment. " To satis y myself still further, I bare just read again the article on Persecution, iu that work. In vaiil, however, have I sought Ihe obnoxious passage. On the contrary t find Dr. Miluer throughout disclaiming and disap- proving Persecution ; aud expressing the sum of Iiis sentiments till the subject, by saying, in the conclusion, that " Religious Persecution is every where odious." In a preceding work, lie bad expressed himself still more strongly against Religious Persecution, in these words : " I am persuaded that it is equally the part of prudence, of justice, and ofeharity, not to persecute in any shape whanoever."— Mtlner't Letitrs to u Prebendary, Lett.

There have been two Romanists lately in Ihe neighbourhood of Pottigo, who, without the formality ofa public recantation, hate silently conformed to the reformed religion, and regularly attend the ordinances of the Established Church. On Sunday last, a yonug man, of very respectable connection* and superior education, renounced the errors of popery in the church of Omagh. On Sunday, the 4th inst.

On Monday last the City of Dublin Grand Jury found true bills against Mr. Sheil, on the prosecution ofthe Attorney- General, for sedition. On Thursday, the Old Bailey Sessions terminated, when sentence of death was passed on 25 prisoners, ( among whom were S. England and E. Jones, for forgery); ton were sentenced to transportation for life, six for 14, and 64 for seven years. To fiva horse- stealers the Recorder gave no hope^ of mercy. The Nottingham Journal says—" We feel great pleasure in being enabled to lay before our readers the following account of a most difficult and danger- ous operation iu surgery, successfully performed, for the first time, by a townsman. The result is of extreme importance, not only as it regard* the in- dividual more immediately concerned, but as proving the practicability of what has hitherto been con sidered impossible. It wiil be seen, that the case had assumed that decided character, that no other alternative remained to save life:-— A girl, named Skinner, fourteen years of age, residing in White- street, Carter- gate, in this town, had the operation performed on Wednesday, February 14, being tha first time it has been successfully attempted. She was attacked with rheumatism last January, at which time Mr. Jowett, the surgeon to St. Mary's parish, discovered, by the use of the stethoscope, that the pericardium and lining membrane of tho heart were inflamed likewise. By very active measures, tiie severity of the complaint was sub. dued, and she appeared to be recovering; but thu stethoscope, conjoined with other signs, indicated that considerable effusion, or dropsy, had taken place in the pericardium. On the lot't of February, she became much worse, and on the 14th was so bad, that it was evident she could not survive tho. night, unless some relief was afforded. The opera- tion having been previously proposed, was then consented to, and was performed by Mr. Jowett tUjj same afternoon, in the presence of Dr. Manson, tiie consulting physician, an assistant, and the patient's friends, it way at first intended to have drawn tin fluid out by means of a syringe pump, fitted with proper apparatus; but an accidental circumstance occasioned, what has since proved a material im- provement, viz. the evacuation of the fliiid into the left cavity'of the chest, which, being in a h- althy state, absorbed it in a very short time. Within twelve hours after the operation, there was a mani- fest improvement; and we are happy to say, that although she still remains in a very weak and ex- hausted state, considerable hopes of recovery are entertained," SALOPIAN JOURNAL, AM © COUK1EM OIF WAJLES* TYRE, [ From the 44 Literary Souvenir" for 18* 27.] Jy' Jheught I saw tiie palace domes of Tyre, The gotg- eous treasures of her merchandize, All the proud people iu tlierr brave attire. Thronging hei streets for sports or sacrifice ; 1 saw her precious stones and spiceries ; The singing girl with flower- wreathed instrument; And slaves whose beauty asked a monarch's price. Forth fioin all lands all nations u> her went, Aud kings to her on embassy were sent. I saw with gilded prow and silken sail, Her ships that of the sea had government ; Oh gallant ships !' ' gainst y « u what might prevail ! Fhe stood upon her rock, and in her pride Of strength and beauty waste and woe defied. 1 looked again — I saw a lonely shore, A rock amid the waters, and a waste Of trackless sand : — I heard the black seas roar, And winds that rose and fell with gusty haste. There vvas one scathed tree, by storm defaced. Round which tlie sea- birds wheeled with screaming cty. Ere long-, came on a traveller slowly paced ; Now east then west he turned with curious eye, Like one perplexed with an uncertainty. Awhile he looked upon the sea, and then Upon a hook, as if it might supply The thing he lacked : — he read and gazed again ; Yet, as if unbelief so on him wrought, He might not deem ibis shore, the shore he sought. Again, I saw him come .-- r'twfls eventide ; — The sun shone on the rock amid the sea ; The winds were bushed ; the quiet billows sighed With a low swell : — the birds winged silently Their evening flight around the scathed tree : The fisher safely put into the bay, And pushed his boat ashore ; — then gathered he His nets, and hasting up the rocky way, Spread them to catch the warm sun's evening ray. I saw that stranger's eye gaze on the scene ; " And this was Tyre !" said he ; 44 how has Decay W ithin her palaces a despot been. Ruin and silence in her courts are met, And on her city rock the fisher spreads his net." To, the Landed and Commercial Interests of Shropshire and North Wales. In the House of Commons, on Monday, " A Bill " to enable the Company of Proprietors of the Rir- in Ingham and Liverpool Junction Canal Navigation " to alter the line of the said Navigation, aud t<> make " certain branches therefrom, in the counties of Salop 44 and Stafford," was reported, and will probably pass the House of Lords early next mouth. This Bill has for its object to unite tlie Birmingham and Liverpool Canal w ith the Shrewsbury Canal near Newport. A Canal Navigation will be thereby established from Shrewsbury to Birmingham and London,, and to Liver- pool. Another Kill, entitled u A Bill to alter, amend, and ii enlarge the powers aud provisions of the several " Acts relating to the Ellesmere and Chester Canal, and to vary and extend the line thereof, so as to 44 unite with the Trent and Mersey Canal, and 44 thereby to open a direct communication by water f4 between Shropshire and North Wales and Man.. 44 Chester and Yorkshire," was directed to be brought in by The Viscount CLIVE and Sir ROWLAND HILL, Bart. This Bill has for its object to unite fhe Ellesmere and Chester Canal with the Trent and Mersey Canal, near Middlewicb. To this latter Bill opposition b expected, and it becomes our duty to draw the attention of our readers to its importance to the county of Salop and to North Wales. We are informed that powers were obtained in the early part ofthe late King's reign to make this cut, which may be termed the Middlewich Branch. Rival Canal Companies caused the insertion in the Act giving them power,. of a clause, prohibiting the Branch being made withiu one hundred yards of the Trent and Mersey Canal, without the permission of the Representatives of the late Duke of Bridge- water, and of Ihe Proprietors of the Trent and Mersey Canal. This clause renders the previous power to cut the Middlewich Branch altogether nugatory, and the ten miles of projected Canal from the Ellesmere and Chester to the Trent and Mersey have remained uncut. The object of the present Biil is to repeal this restrictive clause, the only remaining impediment lo a direct Canal Navigation between Shrewsbury and North Wales and Manchester and other parts of Lancashire, and Yorkshire, including the Port of Hull. The Representatives of the Duke of Bridge, water have expressed their concurrence in the niea sure. The Trent and Mersey Canal Company hav avowed their intention of opposing the Bill upon its second reading. It is reported that they require a Junction- Tonnage Duty to be imposed in their favour upon goods carried along the projected Canal. ' These Opponents already derive seventy- five per cent. divi. dend upon their shares, and we do not see why Shrop shire and the neighbouring counties are to be taxed in order to increase or secure their already enormous profits. We wish the attention of tbe Gentlemen of Shropshire and the neighbouring counties to be di iccted to these proceedings, and would suggest to them, to the different Canal Companies, to the Iron Trade, to Dealers in Grain, aud other Commercial Men, w ho are desirous of establishing an easy com- munication with the Manchester market, the pro- priety of petitioning Parliament in favour of this measure. The second reading of the Bill is, we are informed, fixed for the 12th of March, on which clay it is material that all its well- wishers should be pre- pared to support the Bill, aud to resist the trade of Shropshire and North Wales being unnecessarily taxed.

The notes were delivered to Mr. Waiters, iu Ireland on Wednesday. To ihe Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, My notice having been attracted, bv an advertise- ment in one of your late Journals, to a small publication, entitled " Thoughts on the Wages af Labour, and the Welfare of the Working Classes, by Robert A. Sluney, Esq. M. P.;" I procured one of those tracts, which, I perceive, is intended 44 to explain to the trading and working classes those subjects which are d'iiectly con- nect d with their welfare," and which, I have no hesita- tion in saying, if I must judge by tire contents of Mr. Slaney's pamphlet, are much hi Iter understood by those classes ( generally speaking) than they are by the Hon. Gentleman, who, placed with his legs under a neat mahogany secretaire, surrounded by the comforts and elegancies of life, well settled at present, and with a prospect of riches' in reversion, has volunteered his services in laying down a system for the labourer's mode of living and expenditure! Mr. Slaney's tract of 28 pages contains some ob- servations that are certainly incontrovertible. For instance : " If in a market there are 100 bushels of wheat, and the buyers only want 80, the price falls; if they want 150, it rises;— so if iu a village there are 20 workmen, and there is work for 22, wages rise; if there is only work for 18, wages fall."— Pages 1, 2. At page 3, Mr. Slaney makes use of a truism, which, I think, might have saved him the trouble of writing his hook, namely, " Each man, it seems, knows best how to manage for himself." But in tli£ same paragraph there is a bit of information — " In Turkey and other tyrannic countries, if a man gain wealth it is taken from him,— so there lie hides his money in the ground, where of course it gives no piofit." To this passage the following note is appended : " This is said to be one reason why so much gold lias always been sent to the East, which never returns." The process here described, and the conclusion derived therefrom, appear rather problematical. No one, how- ever, will deny, that gold hid in the ground gives no profit; and if it is sent from England, and buried in Turkey, I suppose it will never return,— unless, indeed, it should happen to be dug up again, and then, I sup- pose, it may f At page 4, there is a very pretty little piece of blarney for Mr. Hazledine, and Mr. Birch, and the Old and New " actories,, which they, of course, will duly appreciate, as it is thus introduced : It is not the spendthrift who wastes his means, but tbe enterprising manufacturer who increases them, that is the workman's true friend." We have then a sort of Tommy and Harry illustrative of a steady, and an unsteady mechanic; followed by a rather novel reason for the diversity of profits — Thus tlie owner of the cotton mill ought to get higher profits than the master bricklayers, because the cotton trade is not so steady as the bricklaying." Which, however it might be in tlie summer, no brick- ayer w ill believe in the winter season. But it is time to be serious,, and, quitting trifles, to come to that portion of the work, in which Mr. Slaney, us a Political Economist, has laid down his opinions on machinery. He says— If working men are misled to destroy engines and ma- chinery, they injure themselves, for they take away the means by which profits - are made- but profits ( we see) form new capital, to call and pay for their own work.— Such conduct is not only against law, but against the interest ofthe workmen. " Some say, 4 Aa engine does the work of 40 men, and only takes 4 to manage it'— true; but if it is destroyed, the 40 men would not do this work; for it would not pay. to have the work done so much dearer ... the work then vvould be lost in the country, and the four who guided the engine would lose their places also. Thus we know that coarse stockings woven by a machine sell for Is. a pair; many thousands are sold at that price here, and sent abroad. If the machines were stopped these stock-- ings would not be made by hand, and thus give more work ; for then they would cost 3s. or 4s. a pair; and those who could buy at is. could not pay three or four time6 as much for them. Stopping machines, then, instead of increasing work, would throw out thoae who manage, as well as those who make them, stop the profits which pay for fresh labour, and perhaps drive the manufacturer abroad. '•'• New machines sometimes lessen work in one place for a little time, but on the vvhoie they increase it much throughout the kingdom. " The steam engine has added much to the capital of the country, and called for much more work than if it had never been- found out. Hence wages arc better here than in most other places. " In Italy, Poland, and Ireland, there are veiy few machines, and work is so scarce that men can hardly live. " Foolish people sometimes cry down machinery and manu- factories, and cry up what thev call 4 the good old times,' when farmers, ploughmen, and clodhoppers, were the chief ofthe people; - - but the truth is, each class helps the others. Manu- facturers do not ask alms, but work hard, they form some useful thing to change or sell for bread, and meat, and beer, ( sometimes too much of the last,) and thus give a good market to farmers, who ought to thank them as their best customers."— Pages 7 and 8. Such are Mr. Slaney's ideas on inanimate machinery. What his notions are as to those whom he has been pleased to treat as machinery of another description, may be found in the following passages : " We have seen what causes an increase of work, let us now look to the other point affecting wages, viz: the number of workmen. 48 If the workmen in a town increase as fast as the work, wages will remain the same—- if slower than the work, wages will rise— if faster than the work, wages will fall: this seems clear, look at it whieh way we will: but if wages fall, poverty begins, and all the evils that arise from poverty. We shall soon see that very high wages cannot last. It is therefore best that the number of workmen should about keep pace with the work for them, - the quicker this pace is the better, so it be only steady. " Now there are more workmen as more children grow up to manhood, arid children grow up quicker or slower accord- ing as the parents marry soon or late. Men may marry soon or late as they like— the supply of workmen is therefore indirectly in the power of the workmen, themselves; but we know that, the number of workmen relative to the work fixes wages high or low— wages are then somewhat in the power of the men themselves. Now the sooner men marry the better if they can afford it. A happy home and a cheerful wife will repay their toil; but to marry before they can afford it, is the road to dependence, poverty, and ruin. What vvill keep a single man or woman well, is not enough for a family also. " The women are sure to suffer, for when men are poor and uncomfortable they leave home aud take to drink. It is best for both to wait awhile, till they have enough to maintain their children: if so, tlie number of workmen is added to more slowly, and wages will rise to a fair price; for it makes all the difference, that the work should rather be waiting for the men, than the men for the work. " The best rule for a workman to go by, is, to marry as soon as the wages are high enough for comfort, and not before; as capital and work increases, he need not . wait long. " Tlie wages are the best, guide, and not to be mistaken. If a man chooses when he has hardly bread and clothes for himself, to marry and trust to chance or the parish, it is his own fault, and he will suffer in the end. " If the number of workmen thus becomes too great for the work, no law can keep wages good; for one poor man will undersell another— no combinations among men or masters can alter it. " A working man who has nothing but his ivages io depend on, if he marries at 20, is almost sure to be poor all liis life ; his eldest, son will perhaps come to work before //.? is 40, but wiil the work be enough for two instead of one? if not, the father's wages must drop; it' so, it is a sign that a man about to marry should wait a little, till, by increase of work, wages rise again. " If a working man waits till 30 before he marries, he may have something beforehand, and so may his wife, and his son will not, come to work as a man till the father is 50; by which time there may be work for two, and the Wages will keep up as before. Every poor man knows how much plenty in the house sweetens marriage— but plenty comes from good wages and forethought.. " As I think good steady wages the foundation of all comfort among workmen, 1 have been anxious to show what causes t| iem to rise and fall."— Pages 9, 10, and 11. Gentlemen who, adopting the doctrine of Mr. Malthus, have, in discussing the subject of population, spoken of their fellow- men, though in humbler life, as mere living machinery, have sometimes been surprised at their equals aud superiors for treating their lucu- brations wilh contempt and derision, and at their in- feriors for rejecting them with indignation. That nightmare, yclept Political Economy, has so overlaid their senses, that they do not see in their debasing illustration of this pretended science, that which is apparent lo all the world besides, namely, that their theory, while it enforces a frigid, calculating, avaricious, and paralysing system throughout ali the affairs of life, would, if " generally prevalent, produce a line of social action that would eventually annihilate all those christ- ian graces, moral viitues, endearing sensibilities, and benevolent sympathies, which a benign Providence has hitherto interposed as the means of correcting and ameliorating the eccentricities of our common nature, and which, thank God, are likely to outlive all the Malthnsian disciples and Political Economists, which the Pseudo- Philanthropy of the present day has brought upon Ihe world. Mr. Slaney may rest assured that, in England at least, working men, in general, are not blind to the charms, nor aie they deaf to the voice, of Prudence. Happy indeed would il he if there were no exceptions. The quantum of those exceptions would not, however, he lessened in proportion, though it might in number, by the adoption of the new or Malihusian system. That man has read little ofthe human heart, and knows little of the feelings of the working classes, who supposes, that a system which has Misanthropy for its leader, and the strongest Human Passions for its opponents, vvill ever correct a vitiated state of society. I shall, perhaps, he told, that I have not fairly stated the case. Let this he shewn to me.; and let any Poli- tical Economist shew me a passage in that Scripture which is given for our instruction, that will warrant their unnatural doctrine. These Gentlemen of the New School have taken up, as a fancied discovery, a maxim as old almost as the world itself, and a maxim as universal as it is ancient, viz. that imprudent mar- riages produce unfortunate results. No man will dis- pute the truth of this maxim; and if Mr. Slaney will consult the members of those classes to which his tract is addressed, he will find that nine- tenths of the heads of families are continually impressing the fact upon their children— at the same time that, perhaps, their own case, ( in some instances,) as well as their every- day experience, would furnish abundant illustration of the intfficacy of such arguments when opposed to circum- stances which alike prevail, in a greater or less degree, f I believe that a great majority of the people of this ( ItrfttwrL nil ,,. i ii 1, o d. wii/ iI., I . • .. I - • f through all ranks of society. Little, probably, did Mr. Slaney think, when, seated in his comfortable study, or in his well- furnished par- lour, and surrounded by a happy group of his little chapsy as he is pleased to term them, he wrote the pas- sages I have quoted, lhat there are, among even the working classes, those feelings of indignation or of consideration which 1 have described. As iitfle. does he seem to have been aware, that his arguments on inanimate machinery, and his reasons addressed to what he has been pleased ( in three of the above para- graphs) to treat as mere animate machinery, are con- tradictory iu themselves, and directly opposed to each other. He says— " New machines sometimes lessen work in one plaee for a little time, but on the whole they increase it much throughout the kingdom."— Page 8. That the steam- engine, in consequence of its most valuable aid where great power is absolutely requisite, has increased work in very many instances, there can he no doubt. But does the same argument apply to all other machinery ? I think not. Does it not accord with reason and experience when I say, that power- loom weaving, for instance, if inordinately extended, would in a short time so overstock the market as to be absolutely ruinous to various classes of individuals? Again, will Mr. Slaney say a thrashing- machine in- creases labour ? Bul far be it from me, in auy case, to justify the illegal destruction of machinery. I will here place Mr. Slaney's arguments in contra- distinction. He says — " If the number of work me?, thus bscomes too great for the work, no law can keep wages good; for one poor man will undersell another - no combinations among men or masters can alter il."—' Page 11. These are his words when- applied fo the machinery of human nature ; but what does he say of the inanimate machinery? I again repeat the quotation : " Neiv machines sometimes lessen work in one place for a little time, but on the whole they increase it much throughout the kingdom." How cau Mr. Slaney reconcile these two paragraphs? The fact is, the Political Economists have their one eye darkened. They urge, what every body knew before iliey were born, and before their pretended science had existence, that if there are too many workmen lor the work, distress or inconvenience must ensue; but they either do not see, or affect not to see— at least neither Mr. Slaney nor his fellows of the same school ever state it,— that over- production by machinery is continually taking place; and were it not occasionally checked by losses and other consequences of such over- production, machinery would not only deprive multitudes of bread, but could in a short period produce a supply out of all proportion greater than would be required. St is and ever will he with machinery, as it is and ever will be wijh an increasing population, under ordinary circum- stances, and in a kingdom like Great Britain, produc- tion will go on till the supply exceeds the demand; and then the check of lo& s in the one case, and of in- convenience in the other, will ensue, and continue until time and the ordinary pursuits of commerce and labour, aided by exertion and emigration, have, for a time, restored the equilibrium.— Mr. Slaney uiay publish his Thoughts, and the other Malthusiaus and Political Economists may write essays; but to ( his it will come, iu spite of ali their theories. I shall say nothing of the delicacy aud feeling exhi- bited in the mode of argument by which the proposed check oil the over- production of human machinery is treated by Mr. Slaney and the other Political Econo- mists ! T-* BUI I will take leave to leii them, that under the smooth surface of their Utopian system lurk all those morbid elements, by which Misanthropy aud Pseudo- Philosophy would inflict National Decay. Any man, whose head is in its right place, must perceive, that if such an heartless and restrictive system had prevailed a few generations ago, the liberty and the glory of our country— our ships, colonies, and com- merce— the honour of our arts and of our arms— the ' im- provements of agriculture— the enterprise of trade and extension of towns— the effusions of genius— and the spirit of charity and benevolence which is the bond of peace to our nation — never could have had au existence; for all ihese are the results of an increasing population, consequent exertion, and a corresponding national spirit, fostered by liberal institutions and a right tone of public feeling, The system of Political Economy, which profsses to have Prudence for its motto, is, in reality, as much opposed to that handmaid of Virtue as dark is lo light.- Genuine Prudence is closely allied to, and is, in fact, the support of, all the kindly feelings of human nature ; but the counterfeit goddess set by the modern Philosophers, would make of the human raCe a herd of calculating misanthropes, among w hom all the ennobling virtues and generous sympathies of our nature would be annihilated. Plausible as the theory seems on paper, if the system of universal saving and restraint were practised for only twelve months, what would be the situation of h; Jf the tradesmen ia tiie country? The consequences of such a system' to ail classes, would be very different from the results antici- pated by its projectors. In Mr. Slahey's tract of 28 pages, there ere six chapters. One of them ( a whole page) 44 on combina- tion of workmen ;" another " on the price of food, and the corn laws," in which the question at issue is very . carefully avoided ; this is followed by a chapter 4k on the evil of very high wages;" and the whole is wound up by a chapter 44 on being content."— Your columns will not allow me to enter upon a review of all his Thoughts on these subjects. 1 have, however, tran- scribed the following passage, for the benefit of the uninitiated : " A young man should begin early to save a little, be can put what he gets into the saving bank, which is as safe as the bank of- England. If an industrious man is careful he will have a good sum before he marries, and his wife will have something too, ( unless she has spent it all in gowns and ribbons, and then 1 advise him not to have her.) Thus they can buy some good useful furniture, 110 showy washy things, but English oak.— If wages are good ( and he had better wait till they are) he will have more than he wants; he should not go to the ale- house, but keep the money for the little chaps who are sure to come soon.— But a pot of beer al home with his wife at dinner will do them no harm, and an extra pint on Sunday is well enough."-— Pages 24 and 25. Mr, Slauey has, it seems, been a traveller. He says, " I have seen a mud cabin or cot in Ireland, where they were content to have the pig, the aas, the ducks, and fowls, all in the kitchen with the children; and, it is said, that, t. liey often burn a stair at a time to save the trouble of getting wood."— Page 23. As I have never met with any of these silly Irishmen, hut, as far as my experience goes, have found the natives of Ireland possessed of cunning enough to qua- lify them for probationers under the New System, per- haps the Hon. Gentleman will inform me how Paddy and the children went up to bed dfter all the stairs had undergone the fiery ordeal? My ideas would lead me to believe, they would, in- such case, find that their feet, like most of Mr. Slaney's Thoug- hts, were in Want of a suitable foundation. I remain, Sir, your's, kc. ' ANTI- HUMBUG. I& owtan <£ at& oUc <$ uf0t( Qtt* TO TIIE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTJ OF SURREY. PORTLAND PLACE, FEB. 9, 1827. Gentlemen,— When you conferred upon me the verv gieat honour of appointing me 3onr Representative in the House of Commons, at the recent Election, J gave you a gratuitous pledge, that if ever it shoulii happen that Ilie question, usually called the Catholic Question should come under the consideration of the House, " ] vvould endeavour to obtain the opinion of my coustitu ents upon it, and ( if I could conscientiously do so) would act in unison with that opinion, or restore into their hands that trust which they had so honourahlv placed in mine." 1 stated, and truly stated, that 1 had not, at that time, given to the subject that deep and full consideration which iis vast importance required. I Imye since endeavoured to qualify myself for giving an opinion upon n. This night a Petition from the Roman Catholics of Ireland has been laid before die House of Commons and it is to be taken into early consideration, it becomes me, therefore, now to endeavour to redeem my pledge; and 1 adopt this mode of doing i?, because it will enable you, if you should think proper, to have recourse to that public mode of expressing a County opinion, which form and custom will not permit me to resort to, and because it-' affords me an opportunity of stating, publicly, those sentiments which 1 mav be prevented, by circumstances, from delivering in Par- liament. It is my opinion that the Prayer of the Petition of the Roman Catholics ought not to. be granted at the present time, and under present circumstances ; and it is my intention to give my vote according to that opinion. 1 can, however, sincerely say, that I am not aware of having ever been subject to a duty more difficult or more painful than that of coming to this conclusion for, conscious of my own insufficiency, 1 feel that I must make a decision which may involve the rights of one- third of the Kingdom, anil, be that decision what it may, millions of my fellow subjects w ili consi- der that I have done them injustice. In my endeavours to obtain that aid, which, in cases of doubt, is generally found in the opinions of the. wise and the good, I must admit that a very influential num- ber of such men, and of the most highly gifted public characters, of all parties, both iu the present and past times, have strongly supported the cause of the Catho- lics ; and that in offering any opposition to their claims, I must differ from individuals now living, to disagree with whom cannot but occasion to me the deepest regret. But there are considerations on the other hand, which, in this case, forbid me to surrender my judgment, even to the most powerful authority. kingdom are against the concession which is sought ; and though I do not presume to define that limit which has never yet been clearly fixed by the wisest poli- ticians, of the extent to which deference is due from representatives to their constituents, yet I confess it occurs to me, that if ever there were a case for the exercise of such deference, it is when the long agitation ofa question has given to a whole national) opportunity of judging of its merits, more especially when that question involves a great change in the constitution of the country. I confess myself incompetent to ascertain to what precise extent the proposed measure may endanger the Established Church of these realms. To that church 1 profess my devoted attachment. I pray that she may long possess the honours and advantages which she now enjoys. 1 believe that the episcopacy of this kingdom unites a greater ay gregate of religion, learn- ing, and virtue, than is to be found in any other class in the world. Like one of their warmest advocates, I rejoice to see them 44 erect their mitred fronts" amongst the nobles of the land, and appear the foremost and most munificent amongst tiie benefactors to those insti- tutions which distinguish this country. ? trust I do not mix too blind an obedience with my respect, when I say that, if that Church considers its safety endangered, i t is enough to make me pause ; especially when I see ihe claims of the Roman Catholics supported by the most unqualified attacks upon the persons and the property of its Ministers; and if there are ( and unquestionably there are) many who apprehend that the REAL Catholic Question 44 is a question of the disposal of the revenue of ihe Protestant establishment, and that concessions in the present instance would, and must, be followed by an attack on til lies which supply the comforts and charities of the Clergy ( and subject to which the great mass of property in ibis country has been purchased and ia held) I am not prepared to say that the fears of those persons are unfounded. I trust that fhe con- fidence in the Ministers of my Church . wili not he made a matter of reproach to me, at least by the Roman Catholics. I have read, with great attention, the Catholic Pe- titions.— Upon the theological part of the discussion of the question, I have not the vanity to think myself competent to give an opinion. With every possible respect for the character of those individuals who have disavowed doctrines which are supposed to bo incom- patible with the welfare and happiness of the nation, they must excuse me if I declare tiiat 1 do not consider the explanation which ihey have given as quite conclu- sive. When I read the proceedings and decisions of the Council of Trent, which, for a long period of years, and under three successive Pontiffs, discussed and sifted, and settled every doubtful point of doctrine in a church calling itselfk4 inflexible and infallible"— when 1 read the expository confirmation of those doctrines, subsequently made by Pope Pius IV.— 1 cannot but hesitate before I can accept a disclaimer of those doc- trines from any number of Bishops, howsoever respect- able— from any Un » verities, howsoever learned— from any Possessor of the Pontifical Chair, however willing- lie may be to soften the decisions of those Councils, whose authorities have been considered higher than that of the Pope himself. Far be it from me lo insinuate that the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church have had tbe effect of shaking the loyalty of the Irish Catholics ; for it would be indeed ingratitude towards those who have fought, and bled, and died, with a bravery beyond al! praise, : in the cause of our common sovereign, to doubt their fidelity ; and if those who are called the Forty- Shilling Freeholders in Ireland have been induced, in the recent Election, under religious influence, to desert their Political Banners ; and if it be true that those Free- holders have been principally formed for Election purposes, 1 cannot regret the circumstance. I hope that every engine made use of to impair the blessings of pure representation may recoil upon its contrivers. But I have read that the same influence has reached to a nwire extensive interference ; that it has'shaken the sacred fidelities of gratitude. It has been boasted, that a disregard to the obligation of a lengthened life was justified, to a dying benefactor, upon the plea of this religions influence. If this has indeed happened ; if the Roman Catholic Religion has been made the means of shaking the loyalties of nature and the allegiances of the heart, I would almost be tempted to ask, what loyalty and what allegiance might it not be made to weaken ? But it is said that the happiness, and even tbe safety, of Ireland depends upon ibe success of the application of the Catholics. Unquestionably great irritation and great misery prevail in a country which may be called ( with the exception of the single country in which the Roman Catholic Faith has unrestricted sway) the most fertile and the most unfortunate in the world. I have endeavoured to learn how much of that irritation pro- ceeds from real pressure, and how muiih proceeds from excitement ; and I feel a perfect conviction that, but for ihe influence of those ( amongst whom 1 would fain omit the Ministers of the Gospel of Peace) who al once stimulate, inflame, and impoverish them, the great mass of Irish Catholics would continue as quiet and unruffled as any other portion of this great Empire ; but where, I would ask, is the class of individuals, labour- ing under the influence of religious enthusiasm, and the disadvantages of ignorance, who would not be excited to the same extent, hy the same means, upon any supposed political wrong ? And is it to be doubted that the same means might and would produce the same feelings of irritation, and to a greater extent, upon the subject of tithes, even if the claims at present advanced were allowed ! Unhappy, too, I admit a great portion of Ireland to he ; and such, I fear, they will he, w hilst their ignorance and poverty are worked upon by a religious and political excitement. Tbe Catholic Association alone is, in my judgment, a sufficient obstacle to ihe concessions required at tbe present moment ; and 1 shall indeed be surprised, if those gentlemen who have concurred in a jus! reproba- tion of the illegal aud dangerous acts of that Body, shall not require its absolute dissolution as a preliminary to even a consideration of the claims of those who have unequivocally recognized and adopted its proceedings. II has been truly described in a recent publication hy a Member of Parliament who is one of the warmest friends of the Catholics', 41 a. a Republic of Agitators, governing through ihe Clergy of a sect irresponsible and unrestrained; a Republic which has triumphed not only over the Cabinet, hut over the Imperial Legisla- ture." if such he ihe description of this Association by a friend of the Catholics, I would ask him, w hetber il is to such a Republic il is expedient this kingdom should yield ? 1 would ask tbe leaders and directors of that band, whether tliey really desire to accomplish tbe object which they profess to pursue; ond iu what page of the history nf this country they have read that it ever had given way to intimidation and menace? 1 trust lhat the diguily of the Constitution vvill not much longer be insulted by that factious Assembly. Can any one doubt that tbe most fatal enemy of the Catholics is the Catholic Association? What a contrast is exhibited in the calm and dignified conduct of the English Catholics, If we are much indebted ( and indeed we are) to the courageous ener- gies of iheir ancestors in the assertion of our civil rights, we owe not less to them for their considerate moderation under their civil disabilities ; ond I wil- lingly give lo their brethren iu Ireland the full benefit of their temperance. Of tbe obstacles which present themselves to me in the way of the measure proposed, 1 consider lhat one, not the least, is tbe political anomaly, which arises from tbe circumstances under which it is brought forward. A great change in the constitution of the country is made the subject of partial legislation — no provision is made for tbe various interests which must be consequently affected by it— no ministerial responsi- bility— on the contrary, the Prime Minister of the Crow n, and ibe highest legal authorities iu the country, pronounce their conviction that the measure must be j dangerous in ibe greatest degree to the Stale, It is under these impressions, Gentlemen, that I have formed my opinion. I qualifj il by reference IN" lime and circumstances;" because 1 do trust that circum- stances may so alter, as to permii that regular, ample, and gradual relaxatu ns may safely be made iu favour of many ofour dissenting brethren; and I shall rejoice sincerely when the time shall arrive ( as I believe it will), Willi respect lo my Human Catholic fellnvv. sub. jecls, w hen the progress of education and improvement ( accompanied by a general dissemination of the Scrip- tures) s'hall have enabled the people to judge for them- selves; when the imp, irtant subject shall he examined and arraigned iu all its bearings, and all its conse- quences, securing the property, and providing for tbe safety of the Established Church ; and when this great benefit, springing from the Royal bounty, may he con- ferred upon au informed aud uucxcited people through a responsible Administration and au unanimous Parlia- ment. I have the honour io be, Gentlemen, with oreat gratitude, your obliged and faithful servant, C. N. P.

The Baltic is not navigable more than six months in the year. Whatever advantages might be gained in summer in tbe North, must be abandoned in Ibe winter. Russia has no commercial navy, nor any fleets lo mea and subdue. At Lloyd's she is scarcely known. At what point, Ihcn, is she assail- able? To Ihe south? That has been tried without success. And we do not expect from Mr. Canning the weakness of shewing his teeth without having the power lo bite. This is not the policy of Old England. The blow Should be always ready lo follow the unsuc- cessful word. The bullying system of 4 mine ancient pistol,' wiil not answer the purposes of a Great Power determined lo preserve its reputation, and enforce the respect of the world. And who can say we are pre- pared lo enter into a contest with Russia, were there vulnerable points in her coat of mail? Suppose tbe rapacious Yermoloff, note nt the time we are writing, insubordinate to his own government, should reply to our remonstrances with scorn! What is then lobe done? What could be done? but sit down and stomach the haughty responses of the Vice- Roy ol Georgia! The Casus Foederis will be, by anil by, made out by every Power and Slate, and Pelty Chief, with whom we ever had intercourse or ex- changed words. The Chieftain of every Island in Ihe South Pacific Ocean will hereafter mix up his name with that of Brilaiu. There is scarcely a Power in Europe wilh whom we have not, at some time or olher, concluded treaties: some of them of earlier, others of later date. Suppose, from this, they each of Iheni make out a casus foederis, where will this business end? . Far be it from ns lo dispute or deny the importance of preserving the integrity of the Persian Monarchy either as a harrier to the farther encroachments of Russia or Asia, or as an advanced post ( if we may so term it) to our dominions in the East; but, important as Ihe stake may be, it may be imprudent to enter upon the game. Slates, like individuals, must he in some measure their own pro- tectors, or Iheir friends can do them little good, if there was a day when Persia, seeing the Russian Empire pressed upon by an invading army, might have made her own terms, and secured her own safety, and suffered lhal day lo go by without seizing the advantages which it presented— is England to blame? England has once already crossed the path of the Russian in his designs upon Turkey, but can she always carry her' point contrary to fhe interests of first- rate Powers, with whom she greatly but fear- fully remonstrates? Individuals will grow weary of interference often repealed ; aud we see no inapplica- bility of the rule lo Governments. And in litis case a legitimate caveat may be thrown in as before hinted, on laking the first step; for, besides the necessity of finding employment for a vast body of semi- barbarous militants, and who are the more clamorous from disappointment in their designs upon Turkey, Ihe Government may justly apprehend its own safety compromised iu Ihe refusal of this outlet to lhe military ardour of the Russian forces. All this may he gathered from the present conduct of the Vice- Roy of Georgia towards the great Autocrat his Master. The question then is,— Are the probabilities in favour of our success in stepping in between the two Powers as a medialor ? ( for w'e can essay nothing beyond Ibis.) If not, is it not wiser not to attempt, than to attempt and fail? Aud, that we have no reasonable prospect of success, from an investigation of all Ihe circum- stances of the case, we think we have shewn. iftieceUansoiis Inmiigettfe. RUSSIA AND PERSIA. The vast empire of Russia has no parallel in ancient or modern times. The suddenness of its grow th, the rigidity of its climate, the union within its boundaries of civilized and savage life, place it beyond compa- rison, and equally beyond coutroul.— This Colossus of the North with its head touches the arctic circle. One foot approaches central Asia, the other tramples upon Ihe Turk, while its, arms embrace 15 degrees of longitude.—' Fhe very extension of this power seems to contribute to iis strength, since an enemy may be enticed to enter within ils fatal circle, and meet the embrace of death. Its despotic form of government gives it additional strength, and serves as" a standard On the 26lh ult. a man giving his name David M4 Leod, was apprehended at Witham, charged with uttering base coin ; he is committed to Essex county gaol for trial at the assizes. From his answering the description given in the Hue and Cry, he is suspected of having escaped from Glasgow gaol, where he was confined on a charge of uttering forged notes; in consequence of which a communication has been made with the proper authorities of Glasgow to ascertain that fact.— Pending the answer it happened that Mr. J. B. Woods, of Cardiff, the keeper of the county gaol of Glamorgan, in Wales, was on a visit lo Chelmsford, and while walking round the prison therewith Mr. Cawkwell, the governor, he instantly recognized M'Leod as a person who had been tried and convicted at Cardiff, of uttering base coin in the year 1824, and had escaped while under sentence of imprisonment under such conviction, by the name of Martin; and also lhat he was tbe same person who had escaped from Bristol City Gaol in 1825, where he was confined, after conviction for a similar offence, by the name of Johnson. He was, on Tuesday last, detained for the escape from Cardiff, and the ultimate disposal' of him will depend upon the answer from Glasgow. He appears to be a Scotchman, and has made il his boast that he never served his whole time in any gaol he had been confined. He is, no doubt, an utterer of base coin to a very great extent. We have at length the satisfaction to announce, that the Engineer of the Berkeley and Gloucester Canal has reported this great and important under- taking- in a state of completion; and a very few days will afford a sufficient supply of water through the entire line, to prove the perfection and stability of the works. The canal already contains sixteen feet water from this city to the Stroud Junction, and upwards of eight feet from thence to the entrance at Sharpness Point. There is therefore a well- founded and confident expectation, that this com- munication will be opened for mercantile purposes previously to the middle of the ensuing- month.— Gloucester Journal. A PROFITABLE GUEST.*— Last week one of those free and easy gentlemen who are now rather too plentiful in the country, and who delight to set the distinctions oimeum et tuurn at nought, to the bitter mortification of the more honest portion of society, honoured, a most respectable hotel in a town in Herefordshire, with a visit ; after par. taking- of th good things of the larder, the rogue retired to rest, and did not leave his domicile till a late hour, when he contrived to walk into the landlord's room, and finding the coast clear, he took a new suit of black which he found folded up, and carefully replaced it with a seedy suit of his own, and doubtless quieting his conscience with the reflection that " exchange is no robbery," he adorned his sweet person with the new sables— he next, finding the pockets of his suit empty, forced open a drawer, stole a sum of money, and then descended to the traveller's room, where, with the coolest impudence, he made a sumptuous breakfast, and after discharging his bill, for the fellow had some conscience, he withdrew from a scene, where probably longer continuance would have been painful to his feelings, and has not since been heard of. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— On Tuesday se'nnighij Mr. Davies, of Hanley Court, was returning from Hereford fair, he was stopped near the Bowling- Green turnpike, by two men, one of whom seized the bridle of his horse, whilst another assailed him with a bludgeon. Mr. Davies leaped from the saddle, and with admirable courage and resofution, knocked down his two assailants. In a scuffle which ensued, a third man made his appearance, and the rascals overpowered Mr. D. but though they searched his pockets, they missed bank- notes to the amount of upwards of £ 20, taking' only a pocket- book of 110 consequence, Mr. Davies rode to the house of Mr. Wathen, of Kiugstone, who went on horseback in the direction the thieves had taken-; he met with them, and dismounting, attacked all three ; two ran away, the third he captured : he proves to be a dismissed servant of Mr. Davies's! Another of the robbers has since been taken; the third is supposed to be in Birmingham. On the evening of Wednesday last, a gentleman from Kippen laid a wager of five pounds that he would run a hundred yards in fifteen seconds. It was agreed to decide the bet on the Pollokshaws road. A scientific gentleman in town stepped off the distance, and offered to wager fifty guineas that he was within twelve inches of the specified dis- tance. The gentleman strippe^. his coat, vest, and shirt, started and accomplished the hundred yards in eleveh seconds. This was allowed by the party to bo the swiftest running ever known in this part of the country. The same gentleman undertook to run a hundred yards before another ran fifty with a man of fifteen stone weight on his back. Swift of foot as he was, the gentleman lost this wager ; but the match was so excellently contested that he crossed the winning score along with the person carried.— Glasgow Chronicle. Matthew Hale, an informer, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, last week, at Middlesex Sessions, for extorting 20s. from a poor woman vending' ribbons, & c. without a hawker's licence, on plea of saving her the full penalty. HORSE- STEALERS AND INCENDIARIES. ON1 Tuesday evening, at seven o'clock, the carters etn- » ' ployed by Mr. John Pearman, of Mapledurham, four miles from Reading, racked up their horses aud left every thing- safe in the farm- yard, which is detached and 200 yards from the dwelling- house, situate up the lane, and uot in view of the yard. By eight o'clock every man had left the premises, and half an hour after,? a desperate ruffian broke open the stable, stole a nagf horse, and then set the place on fire. The blaze was1 fiist observed by a man living on a hill, about, a quatlf P of a mile off, and by the " time he had run down and alarmed Mr. Pearman, the roof of the stable had fallen in, and five valuable cart- horses perished. The banis, containing 100 quarters of corn in the straw, were instantly enveloped in flames, which quickly connnu.* nicated to the cart- houses, pigsties, a large wheat- rick, hay- ricks, waggons, carts, threshing'- machi'nes, ploughs^ and a variety of farming- implements, the whole of which in less than two hours were entirely destroyed. The farm is half a mile from the Thames, which is the nearest place any quantity of water could be procured from, even if assistance bad been at hand ; but before any , number of persons had assembled, all attempts to cheek the raging element were entirely fruitless. The wind carried large flukes of fire into the surround ing woods, and considerable anxiety existed for some time for fear the timber should Jake fire. The atrocioua villain had an accomplice, who had gone to the upper farm, occupied by Mr. Pear man's brother, from whence he stole a bay gelding, with a rat tail, the near fetlock white, the other rather swollen ; had been blistered about a month, stands 15 hands 2 inches high. The incendiary, who had saddled the horse he bad stolen, met his companion on the hill ; but havingbeen unable to find a bridle, and the animal being- very fresh, and unused to be rode with a halter, threw him off, and galloped away. He was seen running after the horse by a journeyman carpenter, who at the time did not suspect any thing wrong ; but it is supposed the flames having made quicker progress than tlie villain had calculated on, he became alarmed, abandoned the pursuit of the horse, and, with his companion, escaped on the bay gelding above described. The other nag was found the next morning- quietly grazing, with the saddle on his hack, and the halter on his head. The bodies of the five horses which were burnt were found all lying on their sides, with their heads under the manger, and so dreadfully burnt that their legs broke iu pieces on being struck with a stick. The bowels protruded, and, for several inches deep, the carcases were a com- plete. cinder. The haif- eonsuined remains of a great many rats were lying about in all directions. The pigs and cattle in the yard were saved. The damage is estimated at near £ 4000. The buildings, which were very extensive, are not insured to their value, but the stock is fully covered by a policy iu the Norwich Unioa office. The atrocious conduct of horse stealers throughout the country calls loudly for the severest examples of the law to be made on all offenders con- victed at the approching assizes. HORRID MURDER. [ From the Clonmel Advertiser of Feb. 14.] It becomes again our painful duty to record another bloody. deed committed in this vicinity, under circum- stances peculiarly cruel, alarming, and audacious. On Sunday evening, about 7 o'clock, as Mr. John Barry ( an opulent farmer, much respected for his industrious habits and moral life— the father of 8 children, and an excellent husband) was sitting in his parlour, at Grange, about five miles from Clonmel, in company with his wife, two neighbours of the name of Connors, a relative of She name of Quinlan, and the mother of the Connors above- mentioned — three armed assassins rushed into the house, and passing through the kitchen, where was a man servant and two boys, darted into the parlour, where each fired on Mr. Barry as he sat at table with the company above- mentioned, but none of the shots which had been fired took effect ; because, iu the act of presenting, Mrs. Barry, and two of the men above- mentioned, seized their arms, each shot was thrown from its intended direction, and the villains were nearly overpowered — when, crying out to their accomplices outside that they were done up, unless assisted, five or six more blood- hounds rushed in, and a terrible con- flict ensued, in which one of the Connors being severely wounded, and the other, wilh Quinlan, being over- powered, and forced to seek safety iu flight, the situation of Mr. Barry was desperate. It may be necessary to say, that what we bare related above was an occurrence of but a few moments; and while these were passing, Mr. Barry ( who had received threatening notices some time before), baring thrown up a table between him und his assailants, turned lo a drawer where he kept his arms always in readiness but, unfortunately, Mrs. Barry had that day put them aside, to prevent any accident occurring among tha children from them ! But for that, it is likely tho whole party would have been defeated, and the three ruffians that formed the van of the expedition been made prisoners. But it vvas otherwise ordered \ Horror- struck at the disappointment of not finding his arms at this dreadful moment, despair seized Barry, and para- lyzed the exertions which lie otherwise would have made— for he was a man of superior strength— but ho gave himself up for lost, and craved, as we have heard, that he might be spared to his children! but mercy was never found among assassins; ( though there are some blockhead scribblers who would be their defend* <? rs, and load with Billingsgate any attempt to repress them) they replied that they were sworn to destroy him — and that oath they religiously kept! For, having overpowered his friends and his wife—( the latter of whom had seized one of the fiend murderers by the throat, and held him till the blood- hounds from without had come in) — they knocked him down with dreadful blows, dragged him out of the house, pierced his body with a bayonet in the back, which bayonet entered the cavity of his chest, and vvas in itself mortal! they also, by a shot, it is supposed from a blunderbuss, nearly obliterated his left shoulder, wounded him on the instep, and lacerated the scalp of his head iu a dreadful manner, leaving him a corpse! After this barbarous deed, they searched the house for arms, took a case of pistols aud a blunderbuss, together with two or three 3() s. bank notes, and turned the pockets of the deceased inside out. They broke all the drawers, cupboards, &. c. in the house in their search, and remained in it nearly an hour before they went away. What is singular, ihe neighbourhood ia remarkably populous ; there were seven men in a house immediately adjoining, and above fifty in a circuit of a few hundred yards ; and yet none came to assist their neighbour, though the discharge of fire- arms j must have been heard by many. We, however, are informed, that while the villains were, at Barry's house, numbers of armed men, their accomplices, paraded ihe roads around it, threatening* every one against stirring out; and that a party of these dashed iu the windows of a man of the name of Neil I, who resides next to Barry's, demanding arms, but he had none to give them. There were a servant man and two young lads in Barry's kitchen, who gave no assistance in defence of the house— luit these say they were forced by the mur- derers lo lie down on their faces while the havoc was committing. Early the following morning, Mr. Thompson, the Coroner, attended at Grange, and held an inquest on the mortal remains of Mr. Barry. It was only necessary to examine John Connors, one of the persons men- tioned above, who was wounded, regarding the murder '— and Surgeon Denis Phelan, touching the causc of deceased's death, as,; perhaps, further evidence might only lead to facts whjcb could, with more advantage, b © made in presence of magistrates only. The verdict was, that deceased was wilfully and maliciously mur- dered by some person or persons unknown,, on the night of Sunday, the 11th of February. The supposed cause of the above tremendous outrage is, that deceased lately took a farm near Ardfinane, which had been a considerable time without a tenant, though the former holder had freely given it up, after having been forgiven a large arrear of rent by the landlord, the Earl of Donoughmore. The case is com- pletely a Rockite transaction, committed by strangers, who had, perhaps, come a fan. for the purpose. But this and other such crimes show that a spirit of combination is existing, which must be put down— and, however unpleasant the means, we fear they must be resorted to » The Earl of Donoughmore is so indignant at the above barbarity, that we hear he has expressed his determination to give up the household at Knocklofty, if the country cannot bring the g uilty to justice, consi- dering ilasan indelible disgrace, if discovery cannot be had. The noble earl's tenants, uniting with his lordship, in their horror of the foul deed, have pledged themselves lo second his efforts to bring the tuuiderers to conviction. We understand that one of the Connors is danger- ously ill of the wounds he received in the conflict oa Sunday evening.
