At the late Cioniviel Assizis, there were 401 pri- soners for trial; of whom six were executed, fur murder ( 5 of them for Ihe murder of Mr. John Bairy, aud 1 for the murder of the Sheas); 14 others were left fur execution; 19 had judgment of death re- corded against them ; 7 were sentenced lo be trans, ported for life ; 3 were sentenced lo be transported for 14 years; and 55 were sentenced to be transported for 7 years. At a meeting nf Roman Catholics, held at Clonmel, on the 12th ult. Mr. Shiel thus powerfully aud feel- ingly condemned the horrid crimes which the Assizes lately exhibited : " I lei! you plainly and undisguisediy, that although I consider the Government to have adopted unavailing and inapplicable means for the restoration of tranquil- lity, yet lhat I look upon the crimes committed amongst you, not only ns destitute of any ( even Ihe least) pallia- tion, but as amongst the most disgraceful — but that is a feeble word — I should say the most deserving of exe- cration— that stand in the annals of atrocity. Gracious God! what have I nut witnessed in Ihe course of a few days which llie Assizes have occupied ! The recollec- tion of what I have seen and heard before Ihe public ' rihunal is enough lo make the blood cold, and lo sus- pend Ihe heart in ils beatings. Well might the excel- ni Judge— who is nol only a profound lawyer, hut a nder- hearted man— well might he say, with tears in is eyes, that he had not, in the course of his judicial xpeiience, beheld so frightful a mass of enormities as the calendar displayed, ll was, indeed, a bloody mis- cellany of revenge— I would rather say of infernal guilt. Alas! illy fellow countrymen and fellow iieliev- liow deep a stain have those terrible deeds left upon the character of vonr country! and what efforts should not be made hy every man who has a touch of humanity in his heart, lo arrest the progress of villainy, which is rolling in a torrent of blood, and bearing down all the restraints of law, morality, and religion, before il.

On the Religious Conversions in Ireland. There seems no reason lo doubt. Hint a number of individuals, who had previously lived in communion with the Church of Rome, in the sister kingdom, have, within the hist siS. months, abandoned the failli in which they bad heen brought up, and openly conformed lo Ihe doctrine and discipline of the Protestant Cbdi. h of Ireland. The sincerity of ihe conversions which have taken place in lhat country is more than questioned hy the Roman Catholics and their advocates; and ihe converts themselves are described, hy the laiter, as persons of very doubtful character, whose conversions have originated iu interested motives. All this was to be expected; for whoever yet knew au instance of air individual, much more of a body of individuals, desert- ing a party, whether it he religious or political, without an attempt being made lo misrepresent his motives and to blast his reputation? But llve/ acf, that no inconsi derable number of conversions from Romanism to Protestantism have recently occurred in Ireland, is firmly established hy the very attempts which have heen made, and which are still'makiirg, to blacken the character and lo impugn the motives of the persons who have undergone the change. To Ihe events connected with what has been rather prematurely, if not ostentatiously, styled " the second reformation," we have not been ' inattentive spec- tators; and we refer to Ihe subject now, for the pur-, pose of making a few brief remarks on the opinions which persons professing Protestantism have expressed in reference to this most interesting subject. When Ihe deist and the infidel sneer at the exertions which Piotestants are making lo convert the Roman Catholics from what we deem error, and the heathen from what we are certain is a system of idolatry and superstition, we feel not any surprise at the circum- stance. Destitute of all religious principle themselves, they cannot he expected lo feel any sympathy for the sentiments of men who make an open profession of religion. But, when individuals who glory in being called Protestants, and who regard llie Church of Rome as involved in lamentable, if nol in damnable error, both as il regards doctrine and discipline; when snch indi- viduals ridicule every effort which men more zealous Evening at tlie New Inn, Kinlet; on Monday at the Feathers Inn, Ludlnw, where he will remain till Three o'clock the same Evening ; and at Home the Rest of the Week.

Imposture Unmasked. rg^ n E progress of Merit, though frequently S- assailed, is not impeded hy Envy and Detraction The aggression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; an. conscious rectitude ultimately triumphs in the aitainme of the grand object— public approbation. The lest experience is the guarantee of favour, and has estab- lished WARltEN's BLACKING in general estimation of which thereexists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious pr paration as the genuine article, to the great disappoin ment of the unguarded purchaser, and manifest injury of WARREN, whose character and interest by this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an indispensable duty to CAUTION THE PUBLIC against the manoeuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who having no character to lose, and stimu- lated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour! The original and matchless BLACKING bears on each bottle a short direction, with ihe signa- ture, Robert Warren. All others are counterfeits ; and in many instances the imposition labels are artfully interlined with a different address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and " STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base fabrications of WARREN's BLACKING to return the detected trash to the source whence it came, and expose the machinations of ras- cality to merited obloquy. WARREN's BLACKING is surpassingly brilliant ; — it excludes damp; gives pliancy to the leather; re- tains its pristine virtue in all climates; and, combining elegance with comfort, is an article equally of indis- pensable fashion and utility.

KYNASTON. or your renow- creauires, ana ten me is there any thing " n the records of horror by which that accursed deed has been exceeded ! Merciful Heavens, not only seven- teen human beings, most of whom had never offended the perpetrators of their death, were sacrificed on that night, which stands without a parallel— but the unborn child— the little infant, who had never lifted its inno- cent hands or breathed the air of life— the little child " n its mother's womb. * * * * Ah ! my brother Christians, and my brother men, I do not wonder thai the tears which flow down the cheeks of many a rude face about me, should hear attestation to your horror of that detestable atrocity. But I am wrong- in saying that the child who perished in the flames was not born. The wretched kinsman of its unfortunate mother, gave a more just description than I have done. When asked how many were consumed in the flames? he said there were seventeen, and that if the child that vvas dropped ( for that was his phrase) in the burning- be counted, it would make eighteen! Born in fire! sent into the world in the midst of a furnace ! transferred from the womb to the flames, kindled by fiends who exulted around them! There are mothers who hear me— this vast assembly contains women doomed by the primeval malediction to the agonies of child- birth. Stretched on a bed of luxury and softness, woman groans upon the rack on which she is laid by nature; but what must have been the pains of that delivery in which a mother broug- ht forth her child, and while she was herself per- ishing", the flames felt the ' r ' against her bosom, consumed she was surrounded ! I should an incident illustrative of maternal tenderness, which adds to the horror of this abominable crime. The mother of the new- born child, was found dead near a tub of water, in which she had placed her infant to save it, and the rest of the limbs preserved by th water in which the expiring' mother had striven, in the united pains of death and child- birth to preserve it. What shall we say of this? In what language shall we express the feeling- which this appalling- deed sends into the heart ? With what exclamation shall we give vent to the emotions which are awakened by the recital of that which you tremble to bear, and ivhieh ihe were human beings found who were not afraid to d< We can btit lift up our hands to the God of Justice, and ask him why he had invested us wilh the same forms as the demons who perpetrated that unexampled murder? Although accompanied by circumstances of inferior terror, the recent assassination of Barry belongs to the same class of guilt. How awful a spectacle was presented on the trial of the wretched individuals, who were convicted of that crime ! At one extremity of ihe bar, there stood a boy with a blooming- face, and with down on his cheek— and at the other, an old man in the close of life, with a haggard wild look, and of deeply furrowed countenance, and with his hea covered with hoary and dishevelled hair.— However remote the periods of their birth, they meet not in the same grave, for they are without a tomb,— but on the same scaffold.

These persons admit, that the purification, if not the" subversion, of the Church of Rome is " a Consumnuw tion devoutly to be wished;" and, yet, they laugh at those who hope to accomplish, by instruction an<£ persuasion, the only legitimate weapons of religious warfare, an object which they, as Protestants, affect to consider as excellent, praiseworthy, and, above all^ desirable! Mr. Plunkett, in his phrce in the House of Commons, described the attempt to convert the Roman Catholics of Ireland to Protestantism as a chimera, which bad taken np its abode in the brains of a few heady enthusiasts, who were fitter for tlie mad- house than for the sanctuary. Opinions, like fashions, descend from the higher to the lower classes of so- ciety, and we daily hear the same sentiments re- eehoe< f by men who style themselves Protestants. They refer us to the numbers who have quitted the Romish and conformed to the Protestant communion; and triumph- antly ask, whether the conversion of a few scores of men and women, with the addition of a reneg- ade priest or two, can be considered as laying- any reasona- ble ground of hope, that the spirit of reformation will spi'cad until it become general throughout Ireland ?

With the excep- tion of his having yielded to this unfortunate usaoe and made himself a party in the efforts of his clan^ he has always conducted himself with propriety. This man was convicted of manslaughter, aud when h. heard the sentence of transportation for life> the colour fled from his cheek — his lips became dry and ashy- his bauds shook, and his eyes were the more painfu to look at from their being incapable of tears. Most of you consider transportation a light evil, and so it is to those who have no ties to fasten them to their country. I can well imagine that a deportation from this island which for most, of its inhabitants is a miserable one is to many a change greatly for ihe better. Although it is, to a certain extent, painful to be torn from the place with which our first recollections are associated and the Irish people have strong local attachments, and are fond of the place of their birth, and of their fathers' graves; yet the pure sky, the genial climate, and the deep and abundant soil of New Holland, afford many compensations. But there can be none for Matthew Hogan. He is in the prime of life— was a prosperous farmer— and has a young and fond wife, and a group of young- and helpless children — but alas ! Nor wife, nor children, more shall he behold— Nor friend, nor sacred home. He must leave his country forever— he must part from all he loves and from all by whom he is beloved— and his heart will burst in the separation. The instruments of labour will hang idly 011 his hands— he will go through his task without a consciousness of what he is doing, or if he thinks at all while he turns up th rth, he will think of ihe little garden beside his native cottage, which it was more a deliu- ht than a toil to till. Thus his days will go by, and, at its close I only consolation will lie ou se; fixing his eyes in tha been taught that hi: _ ; ti not in the language, al leasi in the sentiu, eu7s',' wh'ich I utVh'e back of the Diorama, round part of the New !'••:?

The proceedings which are now taking place in the sister island have, as was to be expected, engendered a spirit of controversy ; and polemical disputes are now more general in that distracted country than political debates used to be. The immediate effects of these religious disputatious is to exasperate the passions of the disputants, rather than to enlighten or to convince the judgment of those who take part in them. But, if we overlook the immediate, aud fix our eyes upon what may be the remote effects of the discussions which are going on respecting the doctrines of Popery aud Pro- testantism, will not experience leach us, that the result cannot but be beneficial ? If the. arguments of the Protestant should not convince the Romanist, that he is in error 011 some of the most essential points of christian doctrine, the discussion may abate his intolerance, and lead him to look upon the Protestant, not as an enemy, but as a brother; as a man who, however mistaking! v, is anxious to disabuse his mind of what he conscienti- ously deems errors, and to lead him into " the way truth." The controversialists should, however, avoid, us much as possible, crimination and recrimination. The introduction of such topics do no good. They xasperate the Romanist, and make him cling with greater pertinacity to his errors. Let the Protectant fairly and temperately, and without exaggeration, point out wherein the doctrine and discipline of the reformed churches are superior to the doctrine and discipline of the Romish Church ; and the simple statement may be safely left to work its way in ihe popular mind. Truth is great, and, though it may not always prevail al the moment we may wish it to prevail, its ultimate triumph is as certain, as that Christianity shall one day triumph over paganism and idolatry, for The world cannot withstand its ancient Conqueror."

POMPEII.— A beautiful fountain has lately been discovered in this city, the interior ornamented with mosaic, and with shells arranged in somewhat of a whimsical manner. Four Corinthian columns are introduced as ornaments, and the whole is so beautiful, that the King of Naples has paid a personal visit to Pompeii to see the fountain. In the immediate neighbourhood of this fountain have since been discovered five glass bottles, which have been deposited in the IJorbonico Museum. Upon cleaning them, one was found to contain a sort of buttery or oily suhstance, which appears 10 have originally been olive oil. In another was found a quantity of olives, preserved in a species of buttery slime. The olives, which must have been plucked in the reign of Titus, are in as perfect a state of preservation, as if they had been taken from the tree in the reign of Francis I. rate of eight or ten miles an hour, carrying several persons inside and behind. It seemed to move with the most perfect ease, and without any perceptible noise from the machinery, or any appearance of smoke or steam whatever. The person who sat in front as conductor, evidently held the carriage under complete command, guiding it with great exactness, and whenever the crowd which gathered about it became troublesome, shooting away from them with speed equal to a mail coach.

Mr. Plunkett, and his Peerage without office, we have already noticed. The cashiering of Sir Charles Wethereli is not less extraordinary. Indeed, so strange a jumble of party and of no party is there in the whole of Mr. Canning's legal arrangements, that we must not wonder if a post or two brings. us advice from Dublin of Messrs. Sbiel and O'Connell having taken office— or Mr. Jeremy Beuthani's early recollections being gratified by a place. [ From, the Morning Chronicle.'] Lord Lansdowne and several other Leaders of the Whig party have agreed to come into the Cabinet before the end of the Session— the delay being entirely owing to considerations of personal convenience. Mr. Brougham, as we have already stated, takes no office, but not from tbe least doubt erf the wisdom and propriety of the arrangements, in bringing about which he has taken a chief part. His friends, it is understood, have consented to take office without him, upon the sole ground that he has himself peremptorily desired the matter to he so arranged, with a view to the highest interests of the country.

The offices of Judge Advocate General, Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, and Master of the Mint, together with several other compara- tively subordinate appointments, remain yet to be filled up. The name of the Marquis of Lansdowne does not appear in the above list; bat we have the satisfaction of being able to state, that the Noble Marquis has consented to give the support of him- self and that of his political friends to the Govern- ment of Mr. Canning-, though, for the present, at least, he declines taking office. The acceptance, ivideed, of the post of Lord Chamberlain by his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, is the best proof of the intended concurrence of the Noble Marquis, and that of these moderate friends who usually act with him. The following is a more complete list of Minis- terial resignations than has yet been laid before the public:— The Earl of Liverpool, First Lord of the Treasury Lord Lowther, Junior Lord of Ditto Lord G. Somerset, Ditto Ditto Mr. Lushington, Secretary of Ditto Mr. Arbuthnot, Secretary of the Treasury, and Com- missioner of Woods and Forests The Earl of Westmoreland, Lord Privy Seal Mr. Peel, Secretary of State ( Home) Earl Bathurst, Ditto ( Colonial) Lord Viscount Melville, First Lord of the Admiralty The Duke of Wellington, Commander- in- Chief and Master- General ofthe Ordnance Lord Eldon, Lord Chancellor Sir C.

Ministry wilh Whig probationers, of such high pre" tensions as Mr. Tierncy, Sir J. Macintosh, & c. and to occupy lire offices upon which Ihe Marquis of Lansdowne aud Lord Holland have long set their affections.-, with ciphers like Lord Dudley and Ward and Mr. Sturges Bourne— persons that, it is manifest, could not venture a moment's opposition to Ihe order to make way for their betters. The only consistent quality in Mr. Canning's whole enterprise, is the cunning with which he has prosecuted il. He is al this moment as resolutely pursuing the removal of Lords Lyndhurst, Bexlcy^- aye, and Lord Harrowby, as he was six weeks ago the removal of the Duke of Wellington, Lord Eldon, and Mr. Peel; or as he was 18 years ago intriguing for tbe dismissal of Lord Londonderry. It is, however, a question of very litlle moment to the country, whether Mr. Canning's Cabinet be Popish absolutely, or Popish with ihe exception of two members. Mr. Canning's own bias is known, and Mr. Canning, eren were lie as honest a man as the Earl of Liver- pool, must give his own character lo his Adminis- tration, as long as he shall fill the Treasury boroughs from his own friends, and ( even upon ( he very violent hypothesis that he would wish to he impartial) from his own friends he must fill them ; and as long as he distributes amongst those of whose politics he ap. proves Ihe immense patronage attached to his office. The Ministry is at present a Popish Ministry, and really no change can make it worse. But it has been industriously circulated, and by none more industriously than by Mr. Canning's friends, that the people have a security in the firm resolution of tbe King to support the Protestant Constitution; and that therefore there is no ground for jealousy. This is a. strange argument from the friends of a Ministry coming into power upon a pretence of constitutional principles.— It is tbe first lime, we believe, that British statesmen have claimed Ihe support of their fellow- subjects on the ground that they have sacrificed their public principles for the sake of Iheir private interest— that they have qualified themselves lo advise their Master by an absolute surrender of their judgment to Ijis ;— in a word— that ihey take place upon the terms of utterly abandoning an object which, through their whole lives long, they have represented as essential to the salvation of Ihe country. We say nothing of the grateful and affectionate return which the King's servants thus make for his Majesty's favour, by concentrating upon him ail the bitterest malignity of the Irish Roman Catholics, and, by a happy slight, compendiously inverting upon the Sovereign the whole phial of ribaldry and ridicule, prepared against " No Popery knaves" and " No Popery fools," by Whigs, Radicals, and Papists, during the last thirty years. THE NEW MINISTRV.— A list of the Adminis- tration, as at present formed, will be found in a preceding column ; aud there need be no hesitation ill saying it is not so constituted as to warrant the probability that it can obtain the support ofthe Protestant inhabitants of the empire. Nearly all its members are declared supporters of the Roman Catholic interest: it will, therefore, behove the friends of our Protestant Constitution to be pre- pared to act with unity upon all occasions; for on such a course will it depend, whether our Pro- testant Constitution is to be maintained, or whether our boasted institutions are to be made subservient to a line of government that will eventually lead to a Popish Ascendancy.— On other points of policy, too, considerable apprehension must exist : that system of Political Economy aud Free Trade, by which our wool- growers, and other classes, not only of those connected with agriculture, but with the shipping aud commercial interests, have been almost ruined, is not likely to be revised by the Administration now formed, nor by those more determined Theorists, for whom, it is surmised, several of the present Administration are merely acting the parts of lacqueys de place. The events of the next few weeks will be of great interest; audit is supposed the strength of parties will be first tried in theUpperHouse on the Corn Question. — The liberality to be expected under the new system, may be anticipated by a reference to the number just published of ihe Edinburgh Review, wherein the opponents of the Roman Catholic demands are termed " No Popery Rogues" and " No Popery Fools," and by a glance, at the Courier of Monday last, in which the Editor applies the polite appellation of " blockheads" to those who, not being quite so highly gifted as himself, have not been quite so pervious to the new light of Mr. Canning's great genius.— When Radicals and Turncoats venture thus to address themselves to that Public on which they depend for support, it is surely the duty of Protestants to watch with vigilance tlie measures of an Adminis- tration that receives the praise of such advocates.

ISatsItc fleeting, at © Ijfstcr. the [• From, the Morning Herald.] We believe we may now pretty confidently assert that the Ministerial arrangements are, as au Irishman would say, finally arranged, for the present, and that the negotiation between Mr. Canning and tha Marquis of Lansdowne having ended with the latter having declined office for the present, those arrangements are as follow :— [ The nominations ore then given as above quoted from the Courier, J There are other minor arrangements— such as the Lords of the Treasury, of which the publie are either apprised, or some of which are not yet settled. But the main appointments, we believe, ore as above; and in this shape the new Adminis- tration will meet Parliament on Tuesday. These arrangements are accompanied by a report that, though Lord Lansdowne and the leading Whigs decline taking office at present, they will do F, O after the present Session of Parliament, should the Administration, as it is now proposed lo be consti- tuted, last so long-; and the two personal friends of Mr, Canning who accept the seals of the Foreign and Home Departments, take them, it is under- stood, ad interim merely, on condition of resigning them when called upon so to do. This, we con- ceive, if it be true, may rather be considered as patching up an Administration than forming one; and though individuals may consider it no degra- dation to do so much 011 the score of personal friendship, it is quite another question with the country, whether places in the Cabinet can be kept, like those in the boxes of a Theatre, till the company come. And in this respect the comparison holds out co-. ipletely, for, if report is to be credit- ed, they are only to be kept " till the end of the fir- t act." Mr. Canning's distribution of his law patronage seems to be taking place iu the oddest way that can be imagined. The late Attorney- General, who had given him uo offence, he turns adrift, and the Solicitor, who had given him uo support, he retains; yet, without a. reason or precedent, he pots over the latter's head a new Attorney- Gene- SALOPIAN ' JOURNAL. WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1827. Lisbon Gazettes and private letters have been received to the 15th of April. Every thing is quiet in Lisbon, where Lieutenant General Sir William Clinton has been for a few days. The re- advance of the Spanish army to the frontiers of the kingdom had given rise to fresh uneasiness, and the Portu- guese Government had demanded a categorical explanation of the cause of the movement. A courier, with the reply of the Cabinet of Madrid, arrived on the 13th. The Spanish Government stated that its conduct was occasioned by the assembling of the large force of English and Portu- guese troops towards Estremadura. On Friday a Meeting of Postmasters was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, to receive a report from a Deputation appointed to present a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury on the subject of proceedings taken by the Commissioners of Stamps, to recover penalties from several Postmasters, whose post- boys had taken up passengers on their return home Mr. White was called to the chair, and stated, that ihe Memorial had been presented, and that Mr. Herries had assured them that all proceedings should for the present be suspended, until a decision should be come to, whether any alteration should be made iu the present Act. The Chairman gave it as bis opinion, that the desired alteration would be made during the present Session, the Solicitor of Stamps, who drew the Bill, having declared it was not intended to apply to postmasters. BRITISH CATHOLICS.— At a respectable Meeting of the Members of the General Committee of the British Catholic Association, held on Wednesday, at their rooms iu Thornhaugh- street, Bloomsbury, it was proposed, that in consequence of the present peculiar situation of Mr. Canning and the friends of the Catholics ill both Houses, uow likely to take office with that gentleman, no steps should at present be taken for the purpose of procuring a second discussion of their claims in this Session.

This day the foundation stone ofthe New London University was laid by His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex ; after which His Royal Highness, with the Marquis of Lansdowne, Mr. Brougham, s al, in the person of Mr. Scarlett, who had been at I Mr. Hobhouse, and the other projectors of the al- l times his political opponent; and who, wanting Institution dined together at the Freemasons' nothing, accepts this office at the risk of being compelled to oppose the party in Parliament with whom he has acted all his life. Of Mr. Scarlett's professional eminence, and fitness for the office, no one can entertain a doubt: bul if Mr. Canning be a Tory or a Pittite, as he has always professed himself to be— or if be was even, in heart and soul, a sincere Member of Lord Liverpool's Administra- tion— then, we would ask, upon what principle it is that he appoints a V\ hig Attorney- General, and that before he has made any union with that party generally, to the exclusion of the numerous mem- bers of tiie Bar, both in and out of Parliament, who have hitherto been as warm supporters of the Government as Mr. . Scarlett aud the Whigs have been the opponents of it ? We do not complain of Mr. Scarlett's appointment; 011 the contrary, we are rejoiced at it, as well as at the disappointment which has thus befallen so much professional sycophancy; but slill we contend that the appoint- ment is. itself quite out of all rule and precedent. It is rumoured to have had its rise in an early friendship between the parties— but we strongly suspect the Attorney- Generalship to the Duchy, which Mr. Scarlett has hitherto held, l. nsmore to do w ith it. But Mr. Canning's apparent Liberalism in the distribution of the law offices does not centre here. Hi's first act — the appointment of Sir John Copley to the Woolsack— was of the same descrip- tion. That the new Premier is naturally the most forgiving man upon earlh, judging by his past His Majesty held a Council to day, at two o'clock, to receive the formal resignations of the retiring Members of the late Cabinet, and to deliver into the hands of their successors the seals of their respective offices. At the above Council and Court, Mr. Scarlett, the new Attorney- General, received the honour of Knighthood; and the various new Members of the Administration were sworn of the Privy Council. [ From the St. James's Chronicle.] Mr. Canning's negotiation wilh Ihe Whigs has at length terminated, in tbe adoption of Ihat party into the administration. The Marquis of Lansdowne is not yet, indeed, formally received into office; lint his friends, tbe Duke of Portland, Sir J. Macintosh, Mr. Tiertiey, and Mr. Abercroinhy, are— Mr. Brougham, being tbe onlv Whig of distinguished nole unprovided for. This arrangement is objectionable enough; and e'en Ihis is only provisional— or, asllie Morning Post softly phrases il, for the • present. What is lo be the permanent . character of the Ministry, of which ibis is ihe picliruinnry, it is not difficult lo guess. Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Bex'ey are, il is uucft.- stood, lo he the only Protestant members of the Cabinet ; Mr. Burke bas told us, that " nothing can be easier than for a mean Ministry to get rid of an obnoxious colleague," end what is intended in this particular may be easily conjectured by Ihe management that has been employed to bring IM'-. Scarlett within a step ol ihe Woolstrk ; lo till Ihe lower departments of lite At the General Half- yearly Board of Ihe Trustees of tbe Salop Infirmary, held yesterday, the following Gentlemen were chosen Directors of that Charity for the year ensuing, in lieu of six others who go out by rotation : viz. Rev. Robert l. ingen Burton, Colonel Dallas, Sir Francis Brian Hill, Rev. Samuel Jones, Edward Muckleston, Esq. nnd Rev. Thomas Oswell. The following Subscriptions towards the Erection cf a new Infirmary were reported. The Parish of Frodesley, by tbe Rev. T. R. Gleadow ! £ 1 1 0 The Parish of Whittington, by the Rev. C. A. A.

At the General Quarter Sessions for the County of Salop, which terminated 0.1 Wednesday last, Robert Williams, a carrier, was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, for an aggravated assault upon a female.— Three inhabitants of Wein were fined £ 5, for assaulting a constable when in the execution of his office. There were no Felons for trial at our Town Sessions, on Friday last; but the Mayor, in his Charge to the Grand Jury, very forcibly pointed out the necessity of some means being adopted to clear our streets of the nuisances of vagrants and prostitutes to which they have for some time been subjected in an increasing and alarming degree; and we are happy to observe that a publie meeting on the subject is convened for Tuesday, the 15th instant. In the nights of Saturday and Sunday last, the two counting- houses of Mr. Hazledine, in this town, were broken open and robbed ; but, happily, the thieves ( who, as yet, arc undiscovered) obtained but a trilling booty, We are informed, that James Montgomery, Esq. the celebrated Poet, will attend the Wesleyan Missionary Meeting to be held in this town early in June next. WHITEHALL, MARCH 14TH, 1827.— Tbe Lord Chancellor has appointed Charles Clay, of WliitS church, in the county of Salop, gentleman, to be a Master Extraordinary in the High Court of Chancery. We arc requested to state, that MR. ROGERS'S LECTURES on ASTRONOMY and PHYTOLOGY, at the Town Hall, will be continued on every evening this week, at the conclusion of which, they will finally and positively close. Parents, and guardians of youth, will do wisely to avail themselves of the opportunity to initiate their pupils, by this easy and familiar manner, into a knowledge of those sublimely useful sciences, as it is unquestionable, that more information can be imparted io one Lecture, illustrated, as Mr. R.' s are, by splendid apparatus, than could be acquired by a twelve- month's reading. Pursuant to a requisition, a public meeting was held in the Town Hall, Chester, 011 Friday last, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning both Houses of Parliament against granting political po\\ er to his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects.— The Right Worshipful the Mayor took the chair. R. TYRWHITT, Esq. addressed the Meeting at great length.— After professing himself a friend to tolera- tion, the learned gentleman entered into a detail of the civil disabilities tinder which the Roman Catholics had laboured, and some of which had been removed. Some of those penal statutes had certainly been written in blood ; but there were sufficient reasons for thein : for they hud been the consequence of the Roman Catholic conspiracies against the life of Queen Elizabeth — tlie horrible scheme of blowing up tbe Protestant King and both Houses of Parliament, by the contrivers of what was called the Gunpowder Plot — the massacre 01 40,000 Protestants in Ireland — and the attempt made to re- establish Popery by King James II. Something had been urged uf the natural rights of Roman Catholics; but the British Constitu- tion acknowledged 110 such natural rights even in Protestants; for it was founded in limitations nf various descriptions, and thus originated the qualifi- cations for Members of Parliament and various other situations, which, if tlie doctrine of natural righls were to be conceded, would be open to every man whatever might he his degree or property. To shew the character of the Roman Catlinlic Religion, he referred to the histories of France and Spain— the massacre of 70,000 Protestants in Paris in the reign of Charles IX. for which the Pope directed a public thanksgiving to be made in Rome— the Council of Trent, by which body it was promulgated as a duty on all RomanCatholics to extirpate those who differed from them in religious tenets— the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, by which 500,000 French Protestants were expatriated— the recent re- establishment of the In. quisitiou— tiie spread of the Jesuits— the fact that there was at this time an organised conspiracy of the Pope and his priesthood to obtain the supremacy of Popery throughout all States— the Popish Parliament, now sitting in Dublin— and the avowal by a Popish Prelate, and various Popish Priests, that the over throw of th. e Established Church in Ireland, and reclamation by the Roman Catholics of the property uow possessed" by Protestants, were the objects sought by the proceedings of the Irish Roman Catholics.— The learned gentleman concluded ( amidst the loudest acclamations) by moving that petitions be presented to both Houses of Parliament, against granting politi- cal power to his Majesty's Roman Calholic subjects.-*- CHARLFS MORRALL, Esq seconded the resolution. Mr. J WILLIAMSON then moved an amendment, in the following terms : — That, in the opinion of this meeting, any petition on the subject of the Catholic claims is, at this period, ill- timed ; more especially as having a direct tendency to harrass a Ministry scarcely yet formed, and in con- stituting which, his Majesty has found it necessary to assert his prerogative under most unusual circumstances of unbecoming opposition." Mr. THOMAS WHITTLE seconded the amendment; but it was lost by an immense majority. The Rev. J. BRIGGS ( a. Reman Catholic Priest re- sident in Chester) denied that the Roman Catholic religion authorised the atrocities that had been enu- merated by the Recorder.— He said Roman Catholics and Protestants of former ages had been persecutors when they had the power; but he contended that tbe course of our history shewed that Roman Catholic sub- jects were faithful to Protestant Rulers. He denied that Roman Catholics were bound in civil affairs by the Pope's mandates, and he declared it to be false that tiie scriptures were forbidden to the Roman Ca- tholic laity. The Roman Catholics of the present day had no wish to persecute— all that they wanted was a clear stage and no favour, The RECORDER ( Mr. Tyrwhitt), in reply to Mr. Briggs, observed, that the Rev. Gent, certainly seemed in the high road to disregard the Pope's supremacy- he was progressing rapidly, and would, if he went on at that rate, give his friend the Pope the go- by, and then turn round and snap his fingers in the face of his Holiness.— The learned gentleman then produced a copy of the proceedings and fees of the Apostolic Chamber of the Pope at Rome, from which it appeared that, among the sums paid into his Holiness's treasury for indigencies for certain offences, 12 pence had been paid for committing incest, 9 pence for procuring abortion, and twelve hundred ducats for circulating the Bible.— Mr. BRIGGS here asked the Recorder if he believed the document to whrch he was referring to be a genuine one.— The Recorder said, he did believe it. Mr. HOSTAGE ( a Roman Catholic) then addressed the meeting.— He declared that he disbelieved the existence of the Pope's infallibility ; he defended the Roman Catholics from the charge of disloyalty ; and, among* other points, v urged, that when James the Second was driven from his throne, for being a few degrees too tolerant ! though deserted by his Protest- ant subjects, his Roman Catholic subjects remained faithful to him and his family !! The Rev. Mr. HOSKINS said, the last speaker ( Mr. Hostage) had intimated that the object of the Roman Catholics was to bring back the mild & tolerant times of James the Second : the events of those time's were recorded in striking characters, and had been the means of seating his present Majesty on the throne what Roman Catholics meant by toleration was. therefore, evident:. Another speaker ( Mr. Briggs) had told them, in the course of his address, of an oath he had taken, and he had asserted that the See of Rome had not tolerated or countenanced the In- quisition : he ( Mr. Hoskins) for one, looking at the fact, would say he believed the oath of Mr. Briggs as much as he did his assertion. Mr. BRIGGS said, he should not think of answering any man whoeouid impute to him wilful falsehood in a solemn declaration. The Petitions having been adopted by the meeting, 7' he Rev. J. THORPE, in moving a vote of thanks to the Mayor, said, the class of Dissenters to which he belonged were about to petition for a repeal of tbe Corporation and Test Acts ; but he would conscienti- ously declare, that if, in doing so, he conceived he was furthering the cause of the Roman Catholics, he would abandon the petition, and still remain con- tented under the disabilities from which he sought to be relieved. The Rev. Gentleman concluded by saying, in the words of Myddelton— My opposition " to Popery is founded, not only on its Paganism and (( Idolatry, but on its being calculated for the support " of despotic power, and inconsistent with the genius u of a free Government." [ A more uproarions meeting than the above has, we believe, seldom been witnessed.] ARTIFICIAL TSETH. LEVASON & JONES, SURGE OK. DENTISTS, 22, White Friars, Chester. MR. LEVASON respectfully announces to his Patrons of SHROPSHIRE, that he is at Mr. WILLIAMS'S, Painter, Market Street, opposite the Talbot Hotel, Shrewsbury, and may be consulted on all Cases of Dental Surgery and Mechanism, till next Saturday Afternoon, the 5th of May Instant. Mr. LEVASON attends in Shrewsbury the first Week in every Month. N. B. Mr. BOWDLFR, Hair- Dreser, is Agent for I. EVASON'S superior TOOTH POWDER. It is stated that the King has bestowed the valuable Deanery of Durham upon Dr. Jenkinson, Bishop of St. David's, as a mark of his respect and kind feeling towards the Earl of Liverpool, who is cousin to that excellent prelate. At the Glamorganshire Great Sessions on Thurs. day, Thomas Fresh was tried for forgery. The Attorney- General ( Mr. Cross) opened the case at considerable length, and stated to the Jury that the offence with which the prisoner was charged would be proved by such a chain of corroborating evidence, as could leave 110 doubt on their minds of his guilt. He first called George Pierce, who stated that he was Cashier to the Banking establishment of Messrs. Guest, Lewis, and Co. at Merthyr ; that on the 8th November last, Mr. Thomas Davies, of the Bush Inn in that place, brought a draft to him for £ 548.3s. 6d pnrportingto be accepted by Messrs. R. and A. Hill, and requested him to discount it for the prisoner, who was staying at his house; that he did so, - and was not aware the acceptance was a forgery till late the same evening. Mr. Thomas Davies proved, that the bill now produced was the one intrusted to him to be discounted by the prisoner. Mr. Hugh Donne, is Cashier at Cardiff; he stated, that in consequence of some suspicion he had ofa bill he had discounted for the prisoner a few days before, he went up to Merthyr in search of him; he communicated his business to Mr. Pierce, and then the bill uow before the Court was produced ; they then obtained the assistance of a constable, aud went up to the Dovvlais Inn, where they found the prisoner.— Among other papers found upon his person, was one on which he had been practising the signature of Messrs. R. and A. Hill, and this had been carefully preserved ; he theu detailed his taking the prisoner to Swansea, & c. and his subsequent committal for trial.— J. '. Guest, Esq. M. P. proved that himself, T. R. Guest, Esq. Wvndham Lewis, Esq, and William Price Lewis, Esq. were the parties trading- under the firm of Guest, Lewis, and Co, as Bankers at Cardiff and Merthyr. The signature to the bill ( purporting to be that of Messrs. R. and A. Hill) was completely disproved by several most respectable witnesses.— This was the case for the prosecution.— Mr. Maule, who was Counsel for the prisoner, then called J. J. Guest, Esq.; on that Gentleman's entering the witness- box, he was asked whether, at the time the bill was discounted, he really believed the prisoner did it with an intent to defraud the firm, or whether he thought the prisoner intended to provide for the bill by the time it became due. The Learned Judge immediately said, the question was not founded in law, but he had no objection to hear Mr. Guest's answer. That Gentleman then said, that taking all the circumstances into consideration, he did not Ihink the prisoner intended to defraud them. The Learned Judge then summed up the case, and informed the Jury, ihat if Ihey were satisfied the prisoner had accepted the bill in the names of Messrs. R. and A Hill, and had afterwards negoeiated it, they would find him guilty. Whatever the intent may have been, the offence was the same.— The Jury then retired, and in a few minutes brought in a verdict of" Guilty of forging and uttering, but uot with an intent to defraud," and tbey recommended him to mercy. The Judge then told them it was no verdict, and sent them back to re. consider it. They again retired, and shortly brought in the same verdict, and the Learned Judge was obliged to record it. Mr. Manle immediately argued that it was an acquittal, but Mr. Justice Nolan said he should reserve it for the opinion of the twelve Judges.

WHITCHURCH, 28TH APRIL, 1827. The late Viscount Castlereagh and Mr. Canning. The following letter from Viscount Castlereagh to Mr. Canning, published in the year 1809, will fully explain circumstances often referred to at the present period: — St. James's Square, Sept. 19,1809. SIR, — It is unnecessary for me to enter into any detailed statement of the circumstances which pre- ceded the recent resignations. It is enough for me, with a view to the immediate object of this letter, to state, that it appears a proposition had been long- agitated, without any communication to me, for my removal from the War Department, and that you, towards the close of the last session, having urged a decision upon this question, with the alternative of your seceding- from the government, procured a. posi- tive promise from the Duke of Portland ( the execution of which you afterwards considered yourself entitled to enforce) that such removal should be carried into effect. Notwithstanding this promise ( by which I consider you pronounced it. unfit that I should remain charged with the conduct of the War, and by which my situa- t on, as a Minister of the Crown, was made dependent upon your ivill and pleasure), you continued to sit in the same Cabinet with me, and to leave me not only in the persuasion that I possessed your confidence and support as a colleag- ue, but you, in breach of every principle of good faith, both public and private. allowed me, though, thus virtually superseded, to originate and proceed in the execution of a new enter- prise of the most arduous and important nature, with your apparentconcurrence aad ostensible approbation. You were fully aware, that if my situation in the government had been disclosed to me, I could uot have submitted to remain one moment in office with- out the entire abandonment of my private honour and public duty. You knew I was deceived, and you con- tinued to deceive me. I am aware it may be said, which I am ready to acknowledge, that when you pressed for a decision for nfy removal, you also pressed for its disclosure, and that it. was resisted by the Duke of Portland, and some members of the government, supposed to be my friends; but I never can admit that you have aright to make use of such a plea in justification of an act affecting my honour, nor that the sentiments of others could justify an acquiescence in such a delusion on your part, who had yourself felt and stated its unfair- ness. Nor can I admit that the head of any adminis- tration, or that any supposed private friend, ( whatever may be their motives,) can authorise or sanction any man in such a course of long and persevering deception. For were I to admit such a principle, iny honour and character would be from that moment in the discretion of persons wholly unauthorized, and known to you to be unauthorized, to act for tile in such a case. It was therefore your act and your conduct which deceived me ; and it is impossible for me to acquiesce in being placed in a situation by you, which no man of honour could knowingly submit to, nor patiently suffer him- self to be betrayed iuto, without forfeiting' that cha- racter. I have no right as a public man to resent yotir demanding upon public grounds my removal from the particular office I have held, or even from the admin- istration, as the condition of your contiailing a member of the government. But I have a distinct right to expect that a proposition justifiable in itself shall not he executed in an unjustifiable manner, and at the expense of my honour and reputation. And I con- sider that you are bound at least to avail yourself of the same alternative, viz. your own resignation, to take yourself out of the predicament of practising such a deceit, towards me, which you did exercise, in demanding a decision for my removal. Under these circumstances I must require that satis- faction from you to which I feel myself entitled lo lay claim. 1 am, & c. CASTLEREAGH. To the Right Hon. G. Canning,& c.

( ONE CONCERN.) 212 » i) ftc « mrcD BoUington ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROSECUTION OF FELONS. — o- HEREAS divers Burglaries and other Felonies have frequently been committed in the Townships of Whitchurch and Dodington, in the Parish of Whitchurch, in the County of Salop, and the Offenders have escaped Justice for want of proper Pursuit and Exertion ; to obviate the same in future, We, whose Names are hereunto subscribed, have raised a Fund and formed ourselves into an Associa- tion, to prosecute, to the utmost Rigour of the Law, all Persons guilty of any of the above Offences upon or against our or any of our Persons or Properties, and do hereby offer the following Rewards, on Conviction, for the Apprehension of any Person or Persons com- mitting the undermentioned Offences : viz. d. 0 0 Burglary or Highway Robbery. 10 10 Stealing any Horse, Mare, or Gelding-. 7 7 Stealing any Horned or other Cattle, Siieepj or Pigs 5 5 o For Housebreaking in the Day- time 5 5 0 For breaking into any Outbuildings and stealing any Goods or Chattels therein... 3 3 0 For stealing or pulling up, with Intent to destroy, any Cabbages, Carrots, Corn, Peas, Beans, Potatoes, or Turnips; da- maging, destroying, or carrying away any Gates, Stiles, Posts, Pales, Rails, Implements of Husbandry, Hedges or Fences; cutting down, cropping, da- maging, or destroying any Growing or other Timber or. Trees ; or stealing Poul- try, or committing any other Felony or Misdemeanor whatsoever not before spe- cified 1 1 0 At a public meeting at Ipswich, last week, on the occasion of the election of Messrs. Maekinnon and Dundas, Sir THOMAS GOOCK, Bart. M. P. for Suffolk, addressed the assembly asJollows: " Gentlemen, — We are now arrived at a new and strange crisis, and it may be expected that I should, upon an occasion when I have the opportunity ( an opportunity which seldom occurs) of addressing' so very large an assemblage of loyal and independent men— it may be expected, I say, that I should declare what is to be my future conduct. But, gentlemen, I fairly tell you, 1 do not myself know. His Majesty has been pleased to place at the head of the ad mini tration Mr, Canning; a man, perhaps, of as much talent and possessing more eloquence than was ever listened to in parliament. But, gentlemen, there are two or thrive principles avowed by Mr. Canning-, fro which 1 must dissent; and it will, therefore, depend upon the measures of Mr. Canning whether I shall give any support to his administration. You have all of you, geivtfe, « en,' heard of the cruel and unnatural disposition of the cuckoo. It is a bird which lays its eggs in the nest of another bird, upon whom devolves the care of hatching it. It frequently happens that the cuckoo selects the nest of the hedge sparrow for this purpose, and the unconscious bird hatches the young cuckoo'with its own brood, and in the sequel the poor young- sparrows are thrust out of the nest, and their necks are broken.— Now, I take Mr. Canning to be this political cuckoo: he had laid his political egg, and his political friends have unconsciously nursed it into life and action, till at length, to prevent having their necks broken, they have deserted their nests and flown away. All I can now hope is, that the cuckoo, having full possession of the nest, he will not feather it to the exclusive advantage of his friends, and to the detriment ofthe country. Gentlemen, I not hesitate to acknowledge that I have looked upon myself as a party man, but with this reservation, that I have always kept myself at liberty, when called upon, to oppose any measures that I considered inimi- cal to the rights and liberties of the people ; with this reservation, I am free to confess myself a party man, and am one upon principle ; because I conceive that from the collision of parties a great deal of good is extracted. I am for a. good John Bull stand- up fight, when the expression of party principles is honourably and openly made, and I abhor that practice of parties complimenting each other— compliments which mean nothing, and from, which the country suffers. Havino avowed myself a party man, it. is, then, something strange that, at the end of twenty years I Cannot tell you to what party I belong, but so it is', v Gentlemen " before I sit down, I must be permitted to express my opinion upon the Catholic Question. I will own gentlemen, that it is with great reluctance that oppose further concession, because I am from habit and principle an enemy to any species of restriction I am the friend of toleration, " and therefore it is that I feel constrained to oppose all other concessions, because the Catholics have ever shown themselves tbe most intolerant persons that ever existed, f Cheers.) Give them the power, and an end will soon be put to the toleration of every other sect; the uniform testi- mony of history proves this to have been the case. It is my firm conviction, that toleration is carried towards them to its furthest limits ; and, thinking thus, I have felt it my duty, and still feel it my duty, to oppose all fu, rther extension of privilege to the Roman Catholics." STATS OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS. The following leller has been addressed lo the Editor of one of ibe very few London Papers thai have not forfeited their claims to tbe merit of con. sislency in the present crisis of public affairs :— Sir,— Intrigue is so much more active than iionesty, and misrepresentation so much more engaging from ils varieties, than truth from ils dull simplicity, that go wlyre one may, tbe case between tbe ex- ministers and the Canningile rump is every where pictured in tinselled shovviuess, and presented lo the mind in those false colours of sophistry by which alone it can have a chance of favour with honest men. The duly of acting, ami not of maintaining a cold, heartless neutrality, when the contest is between such parties, is insisted on, we must all recollect, by high classical authority. He who is neutral when the great in- terests of his country are at stahe, is fit only for a state of slavery, and certainly is quite unfit, to have tions ou his canvass for Cambridge, Lord Lyndliurst wiil descend to posterity as a deceiver, and I can show his own declaration to me that lie " bad always been opposed to any further concessions lo the Catholics,") a Protestant Lord Lieutenant, Lord Chancellor, and Secretary for Ireland. I l) eg not Id be understood to question Ihe truth of these assertions. I am will- ing:, for the sake of the King's honour aud principles, lo believe them all. But then what is the result ? Are these things obtained for the Protestant cause? Can or will Mr. Canning give these securities, even now in the day of forming his ministry, which ibe public were taught to believe— that Ihe ex- ministers might be condemned, and Mr. Canning be confided in? " Look ou this picture and on that." Mr. Canning in 1812 said the state of Ihe Catholic Question must hinge on tbe principles of ihe Premier. The Pro- testant ex- ministers in 18- 27 have acted what Mr. Canning said. Which parly deserves Ihe confidence of Protestanls— which can look for. the support of men of honour ? Mr. Canning's partisans have more than insinuated that the King bad declared he would not consent that the Catholic question should be carried. 1 have no doubt of the truth of this state- ment. But the object of the statement is lo afford assurance lo ihe Protestants lhat tbeir cause will be safe in ihe hands of such a ministry as the King will allow Mr. C. to form. Here again words and facts are opposed, and why? Because Ihe Protestant members of Parliinenl feel lhal confidence is not to 0 be placed in Mr. C. and they will not sanction the delusion by accepting it under such a Premier. His present conduct proves the delusion attempted by his friends, for Hastings is vacated by Colonel Lnsbing- ton, a Protestant, to make room for Mr. Planla, a Catholic. Colonel Tot- rens is lo receive Ihe govern- menl support at Canterbury, to replace Mr. Lushing. 011, Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Tindal, a sound Protestant, we believe, will have a friend to Ihe Ca- tholics proposed as his successor al Harwich, should he succeed a I Cambridge University; and the like course will be pursued as occasions occur, because Ihe Premier favours the Catholics. " Let no such man be trusted." The Protestants ol Canterbury and Harwich are called on to do honour lo Ibe principles bey hold, by defeating these intrigues. In limes of difficulty and risk, men show their integrity or Iheir hollowness of heart. The cry of Protestant ascendancy ought to be raised throughout Ibis Protestant empire, and Ihe King would be confirmed in tbe peiformance of his duty to his house, and Ihe principles of Ihe revolution, which placed bis family on the throne. 1 have been led away from Ihe comparison between Mr. Peel and Mr. Canning— names, as characters, as opposite as light and darkness. I have understood lhat Lord Bathurst's name was suggested lo Ihe Sovereign as a person fit, as a Protestant, to hold the station of Prime Minister, and if honour and consistency of character are to he preferred lo talents exemplifying only lingua melior" the selection would have been honourable to all parties. Would any oue of Ihe ministers but Mr. Canning have refused to serve under Lord Bathurst? Would Mr. Peel have been unwilling lo assist in forming a ministry, oracling in a ministry headed by that lion. Earl ? That case is the converse to the case of Mr. C. being Prime Minister; and nothing but the iuBaled vanity of Mr. C. conld have prevented such n arrangement, provided only he is sincere in the professions made on his behalf, lhat the Catholic question shall really be left open. Ii is possible Mr. Huskissou might have Seceded wilh Mr. C. bad the Salter refused to act under Earl B.; it is possible tbe nation would have endured the lo^ s of the weight of ihe Grenville member of Ihe Cabinet, Mr. Williams VVynn; but great as those losses in the estimation of those individuals might have appeared, the nation ould have endured them. Among tbe retiring ministers, Ibe bitterest reflections have been expressed against Lord Melville. Thai hononiable minded lord can well bear lllcm. It was said be acted from pique lone. Willi Ihe manliness of his nature and his country, that noble lord distinctly told his sovereign he had no confidence in Mr. Canning, and therefore would not act under him. The party, therefore, have placed him under tbe ball of their heaviest dis- pleasure, and by an act, questionable as lo its consti- tutional character, have prevented the possibility of his return lo his office. Tbe nation, however, and posterity will do bim justice, Piiuciple then alone, and pique in no respect, having caused the ex. ministers to retire, as a Protestant, and a man of honour, I cannot but call on the nu mbers of both Houses of Parliament fo act up lo Ihe principles Ihev have professed. Are they sincere Piotestants ? Tbe ex- miuisteis have most of them retired from thinking that question endangered by the appointment of Mr. C, to be Premier. The expectations of Protestant appointments have not been realized. The ex- ministers, one and all, have retired beeaifsc they had 110 confidence in Mr. C. Will their Protestant ad- herents desert them, and support him, because they have sacrificed Iheir places to Iheir duties? Wiil they be neuter? Far be it from those who profess the liberal, manly principles of Protestantism, to be lukewarm in its cause. The time to serve it, and do service to it, is arrived ; and base would be those souls who now, in its crisis, will not unite and pro- led it from discomfiture and defeat. They may be assured the King and tbe nation will thank aud hon- our them, if they only keep true lo the cause, and do their duty. AN INDEPENDENT PROTESTANT. THE CURRENCY.— The following is the value of Country Bank Notes, which were stamped in each year from 1819 to 1823 inclusive. We know not the amount of Gold Coin issued to supply Ibe place of the great diminution in 1826; but against this must be set again, the loans and liberal discounts pre- viously furnished by the Provincial Banks. When these are added, there can, we conceive, be a de- duction of little less than 14 or 15 millions in the circulating medium, to which our provincial districts had been accustomed; Is it wonderful that trade is stagnant, aud the tradesman complains that he has so few ready- money customers?

WHITCHURCH, APRIL28, 1827. a voice in a free and enlightened Parliament. I will stale a few wholesome, aud I husl influential truths. In the language of sportsmen, let my readers " try back," and compare Ihem wilh the statements put forth by the degraded press of Ihe metropolis during Ihe progress of ministerial arrangements. ' Pile King called on Mr, Peel, il was said, lo declare whether he could form a Protestant government. Had the King done so, Mr, Peel could have given but one reply— namely, that afler the loss of tbe respected Earl of Liverpool, he durst not undertake to do that which, during ( he latter years of lhat consistent Pro. teslaot's life, he had not ventured to do. But Ihe King did not call on Mr. Peel lo'form a Protestant government.— This mis- statement, however, is re sorted to for the purpose of inferring from such " weak inventions of the enemy," that as Mr. Peel durst not fotm a Protestant government, nothing was left hut for ibe King lo require Mr. Canning lo form — what ? A Catholic government ? No ; a govern- ment leaving the Catholic question open— a govern- ment in whieh il is said that llie Sovereign insisted on the introduction of a Protestant Lord Chancellor, ( such au one we have obtained; or, after his ikclara. The correspondence which has appeared in seve- ral papers, purporting to have taken place between the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Canning, is a fabrication. The Lord Chancellor, in tbe course of some pro- ceedings ill bis private room at Lincoln's Inn Hall, on Thursday, said, his great predecessor, Lord Thurlow, had always made it a practice to hear Couusel on that side in favour of which his mind had been previously made up, with a view to their suggesting objections which bad not beforeoccurred to him, and that he had always found benefit in adopting that course. His Lordship then add? d, bursting iu'totears, " 1 feel deeply grieved at leaving you all, Gentlemen of the Bar." His Lordship's utterance here failed him for a few seconds. He then proceeded: — " I do not pretend that my mind was so constituted as not to have led to delays some- times, which hate been grievously felt by many persons; but ( continued his Lordship, striking his hand upon the arm of hischair) I have always found it infinitely more difficult to do, than lo despatch business; and any person who has attended this Court must have found how much more difficult it is to make a proper end of a cause, than to get it out of the paper. This must be my apology lo the public for whatever delay I may have been guilty of. I have laboured both day and night to endeavour to decide right, rather than be too precipitate." The London Journals at present bint at nothing of the kind, but we understand a very strong opinion prevails iu well- informed circles in town, that Mr. Canning will not be able to form an administration in unison with his wishes and views, without having recourse to a dissolution, of Parliament, and that in aii probability a general election will tako place before the summer closes. It is already to be per- ceived that such idea is adopted amongst the electioneering fraternity here ; and preparations are, we know, making amongst them in anticipation of its early realization. The rumour iw, that when- ever the present Parliament is dissolved, not only the city but the county will be powerfully contested. — Worcester Herald. Sir John Copley was at H- nbory oh Friday fast, on a visit to Alderman Brooke, of Bristol, when'the commands of his Majesty reached him, calling, him to take possession of the Seals. So unexpected Was the honour conferred upon him, that be had, a fo'w hours prior to the receipt of the communication, expressed an opinion that he should remain Masfi'r of the Rolls for years to come.— Bath. Chronicle. We have sreat pleasure in announcing the snfi; arrival at Portsmouth on Tuesday, of his Majesty's- ship, Tweed, from Mexico. The Tweed has on board 1 800,009 ( follars, besides a quantity of cochineal, making the value of her cargo about one million sterling. As the House of Commons meets on Tuesday, it is necessary to direct the attention of the Members to the new bill brought into the House, by Mr. Est- court, for Licensing Inns, Public Houses, & e. Tbri Bill has been transmitted lo the Quarter Sessions, for the consideration of the magistrates, and will b. i returned, no doubt, with their remarks to the Honourable Member. The Bill, so fur from mending the existing Law, goes not only to perpetuate its oppression, but increase ils hardships. It gives tho Justices the most absurd powers, with which we are convinced they would rather dispense. It is aSaicsi inexplicable in many of its clauses, and instead of affording relief to a numerous class of individuals, who seem to be selected for the visitation of op- pression, it will placo them in a worse condition than they are at present. It purposes to shut tip all alehouses in the Kingdom at ten o'clock, unless two Magistrates think fit to extend the period. This curfew clause surely can never be adopted by u liberal Parliament. Several of the country Magis- trates are Brewers, and are the proprietors of Public- Houses, and it will require more than ail ordinary degree of impartiality if they do not suffer their own houses to be kept open longer fttttn others. The host of informers, no doubt approve of ihis very extraordinary Bill, but not so the respectable and industrious part of the community) viho must not obtain admission into any house after ten o'clock in the evening, to obtain refreshment after the labour of the day, and toiling in their shops. It gr> ivelv enacts, that the word " Beer" shall be taken to mean " Cyder." Probably this idea was suggested by the Act in a former Parliament for bringing Malta into Europe !— Morning Herald. The Gloucester and Berkeley Canal was opened on Thursday last. The original design was, to have carried the canal from Gloucester to Berkeley Pill ; but it was subsequently resolved that it should terminate at Sharpness Point. The length of the: line is 16J miles; and there are fifteen swing bridges over it, exclusive of those over the locks at each end. It is upon on an entile level, and, when full, is from 70 to 90 feet wide, and 18 feet deep, with a spacious basin at each end for tho reception of shipping; and, at Gloucester, a Second basin upon a reduced scale, for the accommodation of barges and smaller craft. At Sharpness there are two locks from the basin into the canal, one for large and tha other for small vessels, by which means an unnecessary waste of water is avoided. Some idea of the extent of the works may be formed, when it is stated that thd expenditure to the present time has exceeded £ 450,000. At Worcester Quarter Sessions, the Court was occupied several hours, in hearing an appeal of VV. Whitehonse, of Pershore, against a conviction under the Hawkers' Act, before K. Hudson, Esq. It appeared that the appellant had taken a shop, in Pershore, and issued bills announcing a stock of silk mercery goods to be selling off; a few days afterwards, he was fined for hawking without a licence, and it was contended by the respondent lhat he bad taken the shop with, a fraudulent design of evading the penalty. The conviction was con- firmed, subject to a case for the Court of King's Bench. Daniel Buckley & Jeremiah Andrews, convicted at the iast Surrey Assizes for coining, were exe- cuted ou Tuesday, at Horsemonger- lane gaol. As is usual in all cases of high treason, the wretched men were drawn across the yard oil a hurdle to the foot of the staircase leading to the scaffold.— Buckley had been some years engaged in coining. The press, moulds, dies, aud stoves, found at Vaux- hall, were of the most complete description, and, he declared, cost the confederacy, with whom he was engaged, above £ 1400. About fifteen years ago, he was transported for seven years, for coun- terfeiting foreign coin ; he returned from trans- portation, recommenced the career of crime, and at length has fallen by the haticla of tlie executioner. GRAND SHIP CANAL.— The making a ship canal from Loudon to Portsmouth, it is understood, is to take place, supported by several Government Offices, the East India Company, the Bank of England, several other public establishments, and tbe Com- mercial and Shipping Interests. Two surveys have, been made for the purpose— one by Mr. Cundy, and another by Messrs. Rennie and Giles. The survey of the former begins at Deptford, opposite, the London Docks, through Kenniugton, Wandsworth, by Morden church, to Epsom Common, Leather- head, Dorking, Ockley church, Arundel, and thence to Spithead, making a distauce of about 75 miles with only four locks. The principal difference between Messrs. Rennie and Giles's survey and that of Mr. Ctiiidy is, th.-. t the former gentlemen would take the canal from Leatberliead Common through Guildford, instead of Dorking, the objection to which is, that it is five miles further, but both surveys are equally practicable. The canal is to be 150 feet in width and 30 feet in depth. The ex- pense is estimated at £ 4,000,000, and it will employ 20,000 workmen for four years. On Tuesday last, the same two dogs whose destructive visit to some flocks in this neighbour- hood, we noticed in a former paper, again committed ravages to a fearful extent upon the farms of Mr. Cother, Mr. Hickman, and Mr. Gingell, near this city. We hear ihat upon the last occasion, not less than ninety sheep aud lambs have fallen victims to their blood- thirstiness, a considerable portion of which were killed by them upon the frpot, and the remainder so dreadfully injured as to leave no hopes of their being saved. One of the dogs, a pointer, was caught in the fact, and so gorged with blood as to be unable to escape his incensed pursuers, who exercised prompt justice by hanging hint on Ihe spot. The other likewise, a setter, was followed to the bouse of his owner, who, we should suppose, would regret, that he had not sooner taken the hint we gave him, to prevent future mischief, by destroy- ing such ferocious animals.— Gloucester Journal. Mercantile readers are of course aware, that by act of Parliament all " merchants' accounts, bills of exchange, invoices, and bills of lading," contain- ed in any ietter, though on a single sheet of paper, are charged as double letters. In addition to the serious tax which such a regulation involves, the inconvenience and unpleasantness arising out of the disputes with the post- office, as to what letters are liable to this extra charge, are particularly annoying. In consequence, however, of the re- presentations of the Manchester Chamber of Com- merce upon the subject, it has been officially intimated to the Directors of that body, that a bill brought in by Mr. Herries, Secretary to the Treasury, and now in progress through the House of Commons, contains a clause, providing that all letters written on a single sheet of paper shall be subject to a single rate of postage only, without reference to their written or printed contents. The Worcester Herald says—" It gives us much pleasure to be able to state, that an evident alteration for the better has taken placc as regards the obtaining employment by our artisans and labouring' classes. The. gloving business has assumed a briskness which has enabled the manu- facturers to set. to work again nearly all their discharged hands, and a corresponding improve- ment has also taken place in the skin and leather- dressing trades. By this pleasing change, added to the extensive building going on within the city and its environs, a demand has been created for the labour of numbers who have, for some " time past, done little more than loiter in tho streets; and from . what we can learn, those willing to earn their bread, and be industrious, are almost at the certainty of finding work when they choose to seek it. As a corroboration of the foregoing statement, we can mention the fuel, that the applications for relief at the House of Industry have been daily diminishing, and that the numbers now seeking parochial aid, compared with those of the preced- ing months, are very trifling." ra& jfi^ KS- iiiEi: AAAKGARA^ AAAOKMAM^^ SALOPIAN JOURNAL, AM ® COURIER OF WALP » THE GRAVES OF MARTYRS.

Tbe Hubara, o » tbe other band, is pursued only by hawks. " I accompanied a parly to a village about twenty miles from Abusheher, to see a species of hawking, peculiar, 1 believe, to the sandy plains of Persia, on which the Unburns,* a noble species of bustard, is found on almost bare plains, where it has no shelter bin a small shrub called geettlck ; when we went in quest of them we had a party of about twenty, all well mounted Two kinds of hawks are necessary for tiiis sport; the first ihe Clierkh ( the some which is flown at tho antelope), attacks them on ihe ground, but will not follow them on Ibe wing; for this reason, ihe Rhyree, a hawk well known in India, is flown the moment ihe Hubara rises. " As we rode along in an extended line, ihe men who carried tbe Cherkhs every now and then un- hooded them and held them up, that they might look over the plain. The first Hubara we found afforded us a proof of Ihe astonishing quickness of sight of one ofthe hawks; he fluttered lo be loose, and the man who held him gave him a whoop, as he threw him off his hand, and set off at full speed. We all did the same. A I first we only saw our hawk skimming over the plain ; but soon perceived, at a distance of more than a mile, the beautiful speckled Hubara, with his head erect, and wings out- spread, running forward lo meet bis adversary. The Clierkh made several unsuccessful pounces, which were either evaded or repelled by Ihe beak or wings of the Hubara, which at last found an opportunity of rising, when a Bhyree was instantly flown, and the whole party were again at full gallop. We had a flight nf more than a mile, when the Hubara alighted, and was killed by another Oh rkh, who attacked him on tbe ground. This bird weighed ten pounds. We killed several others, but were not always successful, having seen our hawks twice completely beaten, during the two days we followed ihis fine sport." " The Hubara usually weiglis from seven to eleven pounds. On iis head is a tuft of white and black feathers; tbe back of the head and nerk are spotted black; tbe side of Ihe bead and throat, are white, as well as the under part of the body; the hreast is slate. coloured; tbe feathers of the wing are greenish brown, speckled with black; tbe bill of a very dark grey; and on each side of the neck is a large and handsome tuft of feathers, black and white alternately. TOE BURNING CLIFF. SHAKESPEARIAN JUBILEE, S THA TFOIiO- ON- A VON. • This cliff forms the southern boundary of a farm called South Holwortb, belonging to, I. .1. Lambert, Esq. of Dorchester. It ts situated about 2 miles east- ward of Osmingtou, and forms a very prominent object from Weymouth Bay. The cliff is composed of a blue slaty lime- stone, somewhat similar to Charmouth Cliff, but exhibiting a more advanced state of decomposition— yet bearing a much stronger and closer affinity to the Kimmeridge coal, and, indeed, may be fairly considered as the connecting link between them. This stone, which is used an article of fuel by the neighbouring poor, is inflammable, and of a strong bituminous and sul- phureous nature. It burns freely, and produces a very brilliant light; but it emits at first, and until the gaseous particles are all evaporated, a very- offensive smell: it afterwards continues to burn for a long time pleasantly, and, notwithstanding the disagreeable effluvia arising from its first igniting, it does not appear that any injurious effect has ever attended the use of it. It does not burn entirely to ashes, but leaves a substance like burnt slate, which is, after a time, reduced to powder, ou being sub- ject to the action of the atmosphere. Blocks of this stone, which have been exposed to, and washed by tbe salt water, burn better than what is recently taken from the cliff. The soil contains pyrites, marcasite, cornu ammonis, with remains of other shells and belemnites. ' These substances are not found in regular strata, but are interspersed in masses through the soil, which is impregnated more or less with bitumen, to an uncertain depth — There are occasionally found pieces of a darker substance of stone, resembling charcoal, but much harder In the months of September and October, 182fi, a very considerable portion of vapour was for the first time observed to rise from two or three aper- tures on the summit of this cliff, and the vapour has since forced down a portion of the cliff, and found an uninterrupted passage through the fissures thus opened. It has, wilh scarce any intermission, con- tinued to exhale, only varying in the number of apertures, from four to ten, and in the space of ground over which they extended. The apertures from whence the vapour or smoke issues are about forty feet above high water mark. The appearances within the interstices of the rock, at the depth of five or six feet, are similar to those of the lower part of a lime- kilt), in its most active progress of operation. The ground shakes with a trifling and sudden pressure of the foot, and even by a blow with a stick, which evidently proves the internal recesses of this mass of earth to be hollow, and of course dangerous to a certain degree. It is very probable that at some future period, perhaps not very dis- tant, afler the partial consumption of the materials feeding this immense body of fire, the present crust or surface may sink down, and exhibit all the inci- dental peculiarities of an extinct volcano; or possi- bly astonish with the more awful characteristics of an existing one, in active operation. There are not at this time any indications that will warrant the expectation of any violent erup- tion, nor are the peculiar local properties of the soil of such a nature as to excite any alarming apprehen- sion. After a time it is very probable the vapour may partially subside. That there is an extensive body of subterraneous fire accumulated here is too evident to be doubted. It being ascertained that the cliff contains a mix- ture of pyrites, sulphur, and iron ore, the effect to be produced on such a combination of materials by the action of salt water must be precisely that which has happened. There are instances on record of similar occurrences from the like causes, viz. in the month of August, 1751, at Charmouth, iu Dorset- shire; and at the mouth of the River Shannon, in Ireland, in the year 1753 ; and in the Philosophical Transactions mention is made of a like circum- stance in Carnarvonshire — There is no doubt cf the communication of salt water with the interior part of this cliff. As a proof of it, if proof was wanting, it has been observed that the spring titles, and more particularly the equinoctial tides, have invariably produced very visible effects on the discharge of vapour from this cavern ; as at these periods a much larger quantity issues out, and a far stronger efflu- vium is emitted, than at any other time. This gala festival, in celebration of the natal day of Shakspeare, commenced on Monday morning the 23d ultimo. During the whole of Sunday, the several stage roaches from London and the neighbouring towns were crowded with passengers, and vehicles of every description were put iu requisition to convey Ihe immense number of individuals who were anxious witness this splendid pageant, the first upon any scale of magnitude since the Garrick jubilee in 1769. The festival was conducted by the Shakspearian Club at Slraiford- on- Avon, who had proposed hold- ing a Triennial Commemorative Festival on St. George's Day, April 23, and to continue Ihe same on the . two following days. Soon afler six o'clock, the inhabitants were serenaded by the various bands of iusli ume'hlal performers, ringing of bells, firing can- non, & c. The arrangements were controlled by ibe committee, wearing sashes and medals. Al eleven o'clock, the pageant of Shakspeare's characters moved from Ihe Guildhall in the following order:— The Royal Standard of Eng- land. Full Military Band in uniform, playing " Warwickshire l. ads and Lasses." The Committee of the Shakspearian Club, two a- breast. The Banner ofthe Club. St. George on Horseback, in Armour, and bearing the ancient Sword of the Corporation Armoury, used for similar purposes since Edward 111.

Titauia, Queen in a Car, drawn by Puck and Fairies, poration met at eight o'clock, and having appointed Mr. Garrick steward, invested him with the insignia of his office— viz. a medallion ( on which was carved a bust uf Shakspeare, richly set in gold), and a wand made from the mulberry tree. A public breakfast then took place in the Town hull, after which the company proceeded in regular order lo ihe church, where the oratorio of Judith, under Ihe direction of Dr. Arne, was performed ; after which the company walked in procession to the Amphitheatre, and the whole town illuminated. A large transparency was displayed from the room where Shakspeare was said to have been born. Fireworks were let off the whole night from a temporary building erected for that purpose. The second day's entertainments commenced with a public breakfast at the Town hall, from whence ihe company adjourned lo the amphitheatre, where Ihe ode, on the dedication of the newly. erected hall to Ihe memory of Shakspeare, was performed. A public dinner was given at three o'clock, and ihe town, at night, again illuminated, with live additional trans- parencies for the five front windows in Shakspeate's Hall. His bust iu Ibe chancel was adorned with festoons of laurel, bays, & c.; and at ( he head of his grave- stone were garlands of flowers and evergreens. The masquerade at the amphitheatre w as attended hy upwards of 1,000 persons, some of whom paid Ihe enormous sum of 15 and 20 guineas for a very so- so Spanish dress, so great was tbe demand, and short the supply. Ou Friday, the weather continued so unfa- vourable, that the pageant, representing Shakspeare's principal characters from his plays, which it was in- tended should walk in procession from the College to tbe Ani phitheatre, was abandoned. The race, bow ever, upon Shottery- meadow, for the Jubilee cup, value 50 guineas, took place, and was won by Mr Pratt's horse, Whirligig. Garrick danced a minuet at the assembly in the evening, and Ibus closed a cere, mony, which excited the greatest interest at Ibe time, although by some it was treated as a subject worthy only of ridicule. An " annual minor jubilee" was contemplated the next year, but none look place. In 1794, Mr. Malone entertained a serious intention of promoting a commemoration of the jubi- lee, but abandoned his design in consequence of the national gloom which the revolutionary war in France had excited. participate in tbe alarm professed to be entertained by the ultra part of the French press, that Mr. Canning's elevation is likely to revolutionize this or other countries. If we could presume for a moment that Mr. Canning had any intention of adopting the principles of those by whose aid he has been prin- cipally raised to his present post, we should look with some apprehensionto the consequence; but do the Radicals in Westminster or elsewhere really believe that Mr. Canning is a convert to their opinions?— or are even the Whigs or the Catholics silly enough to imagine that he intends to use their support beyond rendering it the step- ladder to his ambition? Mr. Canning, then, is reduced to the dilemma of being compelled to abandon either his new allies or bis old ones.— The country called for no change in the Administration, nearly every office ' n which was filled to its satisfaction; nor need, therefore, the political demise of Lord Liverpool have produced any such consequences as it has done, had not Mr. Canning, prompted by his own vanity and ambition, and by applause which a stronger mind would have disdained to be influenced by, rushed headlong to a post, in which it is ex- tremely doubtful, after all, whether he will be able to maintain himself. The country naturally looks with anxiety to the meeting of Parliament, when some of the secret springs which have influenced these extraordinary movements must necessarily be developed. fSluiccUajwtmg Intelligence. tllje & Dnum0tratton. The seals of the Foreign Office are designed for Lord Dudley. We are not without hope, therefore, that it may be Mr. Canning's wish, if the arrange- ment shall be found practicable, at the close of the Session, to resume the direction of the Foreign Affairs of the Country. Most sincerely do we hope that this may be accomplished 5 for who is there tbat does not feel, that as Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, his talents would be most bene- ficially employed for the public good. Meanwhile the appointment of Lord Dudley is one which will secure a judicious discharge of the duties of this important office.— Mr. Plunkett has declined the office of Master of the Rolls, for reasons, as we understand, which are every way creditable to the Right Honourable Gentleman. He goes to the House of Lords, however, as a strenuous and able supporter of Mr. Canning's Government-.-- Courier of Tuesday. It is with much satisfaction we are enabled to announce that Mr. Scarlett has accepted the office of Attorney- General; and with equal satisfaction we can add, that Sir Nicholas Tindal, in a spirit the most cordial and conciliatory, has consented to remain in his present situation, as Solicitor- General. The manner in which this arrangement has thus been completed, viewed in all its bearings, is one upon'which we may justly congratulate the coun- try, as of auspicious omen for the principles which are likely to guide and animate the new Ministry. The conduct of Sir Nicholas Tindal, in particular, on this occasion, entitles him to the highest com- mendations.— Courier of Wednesday. Persian Mode of Hunting. Sir John Malcolm, who proceeded as envoy from India to Persia, has recently published " Sketches of Persia." Having been detained some weeks at Abusheher, he beguiled his time chielly 111 hunting and hawking. As the Persian mode of killing the game differs from that of our country, we give Sir John's animated description of these amuse- ments, for the benefit of our sporting readers. " The huntsmen proceed to a large plain, or rather desert, near the sea side ; they have hawks and grey- hounds ; the former carried in the usual manner, on the hand of the huntsman ; the latter led in a leash by a horseman, generally the same who carries the hawk When the antelope is seen, they endeavour to get ; near as possible; but the animal, the moment whserves them, goes off at a. rate that seems swift than the wind; the horsemen are instantly at full speed, having slipped the dogs. If it is " a sing deer, they at the same time fly the hawks; bin i? a herd, they wait till ihedogs have fixed on a particular antelope. The hawks, skimming along near tii ground, soon reach the deer, at whose head the pounce in succession, and sometimes with a violence that knocks it over. At all events, they confuse th animal so much as to stop its speed in such a degree that the dogs can come up; and in an instant, men horses, dogs, and hawks, surround the unfortunate deer, against which their united efforts have been combined. The part of the chase that surprised me most was the extraordinary combination ofthe hawk and the dogs, which throughout seemed to look to eac other for aid This, I was told, was the result of Ion and skilful training*. " The antelope i. s supposed to be the fleetest quad roped on earth, and the rapidity of the first burst of the chase 1 have described is astonishing. The seldom exceeds three or four miles, and often is not half so much.

The procession, which bad a brilliant effect from the splendour of the armour, dresses, banners, chari- ots, and other decorations hy Mr. Palmer, passed through the principal streets, arnid the plaudits of an immense assemblage, to the birth- place of Shakspeare, which still remains in its former state, lo front of the house, a temporary hustings had been erected, and upon tbe cavalcade arriving at the spot, the officiat- ing gentlemen having taken their places, tbe bust of Shakspeare was crowned by Thalia and Melpomene, and an appropriate address v » as delivered. At the conclusion, the procession moved on to Church, where tbe epitaph inscribed on the grave- stone of Shakspeare— " Good friends, for Jesus' sake! forbear " To dig- the dust enclosed here: " Blest be the man that spares these stones, " And curst be he that, moves my bones;" was sung in an excellent manner by amateur vocal- ists, the music by Dignurn. The procession, at the termination of Divine Service, returned to tbe site of the intended new Theatre, which was partly erected, where the Mayor, assisted by the Corporation, laid the chief corner- stone in due form. Shakspeare's Hall was fitted up in a superb manner for tbe occasion. In various parts of tbe room, were scrolls; over a • aiuting of Shakspeare, upon a white ground, " We ne'ershall look upon his like again;" and above that of Garrick, " He suited the action to the word." Over the principal entrance within the ball, there was a transparency, representing the sun breaking through dark clouds, and a portrait of Shakspeare. So great was the demand for tickets for the dinner, lat a great number of individuals were disappointed 1 obtaining admission. In the evening, various parts of the town were illuminated, and several amusements, shows, & c. provided for the gratification of all classes. On Tuesday, there was a public breakfast and a masquerade, in a temporary amphi- theatre; and on Wednesday, a concert, ball, & c. As the jubilee has excited considerable iuterest amongst all ranks of persons having a just estimate of he transcendent genius of the " Immortal Bard of Avon," the following sketch of the origin, & c. of that which took place in the year 1769, under the super- intendence of Mr. Garrick, may interest our readers:— In the year 1768, the corporation of Stratford on- Avon, assisted by the subscriptions of the neighbour- ing gentry, re- built their Town- hall; soon after which, tbe celebrated George Alexander Stevens visited his friend, the late Mr. John Pay ton, the proprietor of tbe White Lion Inn, Stratford, who having invited several of his acquaintances to spend the evening with his entertaining visitor, the conversation turned upon Shakspeare, the Mulberry Tree, and finally upon the newly- erected edifice, when regret was ex- pressed that they possessed no statue to occupy the empty niche left in the north front. Shakspeare's occurred as the most appropriate; and Stevens, de lighted wilh the idea, suggested an application to his friend Garrick, then in the zenith of public favour, to give a benefit at his theatre, or otherwise promote a fund towards defraying the expense of the proposed statue of Shakspeare. This hint being approved by the company, Stevens observed, that as Garrick was fond of praise and profit, be would, if it were possi- ble, turn the measure lo his pecuniary advantage, at the same time that the intimation would gratify his vanity ; and under this conviction Stevens addressed him on the subject. Stevens's engagements taking him to Worcester iu a day or two following, he theie Teceived Garrick's answer, which in no manner de- clined the general wish expressed by the application ; and a correspondence then took place between Gar- rick and the corporation, in which he acquitted him- self with so much address, that tbe freedom of the borough being voted lo him, it was conveyed in a box made of Shakspeare's mulberry tree, which highly flattered the well known vanity of Garrick. Such were tbe incidents, however unpromising in their first appearance, to which this remarkable festi- val was indebted for its origin. Flattered by this judicious compliment, Garrick conceived the idea of celebrating the jubilee; and his proposed plan being highly approved of by the corporation, he determined on its taking place the ensuing autumn. A inagnfi- cent octagonal amphitheatre, capable of holding 1,000 persons, was erected on the Bancroft, close to the Avon, somewhat resembling the Ranelagh rotunda; within was an orchestra for 100 performers. The first opening of the jubilee was announced by the discharge of 30 pieces of cannon, 12 cohorns, and some mortars ( ranged on the margin of the Avon), at five o'clock on Wednesday morning, September 6, 1769. The cor- [ From the Liverpool Saturday's Advertiser.] We need seek no counsel of discretion, in ex- pressing, the scorn we feel for the crew of public writers in the newspapers, who, grovelling in adulation at the feet of the new minister, find the first and natural inference from the occurrences of the last week to be, that the distinguished men who have withdrawn themselves from the government cannot have been influenced by honourable public principle, but that their secession is certainly to be regarded as a factious cabal against the man " whom the King has delighted to hoiiour." It is worth while to notice, with a casual remark, the trouble that both parties have ( for Tory and Whig are in amiable union in this opinion) to make out this case. Considering that the Lord Chancellor and Mr. Peel make part of the body of ministers who have thought proper to withdraw from the administration, even if the other distinguished individuals were not what they are, of equal honour, though with less political ability than their two colleagues, we shall certainly not join the common cry of shame upon their conduct; nay, more, we shall presume to regard with extreme jealousy every step that shall be taken by a ministry formed upon principles ( whatever those may be), which have appeared to the distinguished ministers who have seceded such as to compel them to that step which has separated them from the government ofthe country. [ From the Preston Chronicle.] It is amusing enough to observe the alacrity with which some of those papers, which were but one short week ago the boisterous upholders of the Lord Chancellor and his party in the Cabinet, and had but half a word of praise for Mr. Canning and those who think with him, now bestowing all their praise upon the new Premier, and speaking with approbation of those " new ideas," and " enlarged and enlightened views," which the ascendant minis- ter is supposed to favour, Of these papers, the Courier and the New Times have given the most signal proofs of a determination to abide by the winning party in the State, be the principles and practices of such party what they may. [ From the Manchester Courier.] The elevation of Mr. Canning to the rank of Prime Minister, and the consequent resignation of the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Peel, and other members of the Cabinet, which we announced last week, have created a strong sensation in every part of the empire; but which, we have good reason to believe, is by no means so flattering to the new Premier as his hired encomiasts would induce us to believe. It is, however, in vain to seek for correct in formation on the state of public feeling at the present moment, in the London papers; the conductors of which, with two or three honourable exceptions, seem to vie with each other in showing the pliancy of their principles, and the ease with which they can become either the fulsome panegyrists, or the mean calum- niators of any set of men whom, at the moment, it is their interest to laud or to revile. But if the praise of these men do no more service to Mr. Canning, than their invectives have done injury to Lord Eldon, their friendship is as worthless as their malice is impotent. [ From a London Paper.] The difficulties and embarrassments of Mr. Can- ning's situation, as well as those of the country, appear to increase daily and hourly. As far as the former is concerned, he is entitled to very little sympathy, his situation being entirely of his own seeking, and that most unwisely and unnecessarily ; but that the country is to be involved in fresh difficulties— her affairs, both foreign and domestic, placed in abeyance, and that to gratify the ambition of one man, himself apparently the instrument of a questionable influence, is a state of things too mischievous and alarming not to call for the severe animadversions of that part of the press which aspires to any character for independence. We make this latter remark, not without feelings of both pain and shame at the unblushing inconsistency ( we would fain hope not venality) with which a certain part of the press has, on the instaut, deserted all its former principles and prepossessions, aud has embarked in a defence of the new order of things more nauseous and subservient than any thing we have ever before witnessed ofthe kind. We let our readers, not long ago, into some part of the secret why these things are so. Mr. Canning knows well enough the importance of the press to his cause, and he has those about him who know how to manage such matters. On this occasion, how- ever, the wires appear to have been pulled too violently, and the puppets over- act their parts; and we therefore recommend to the managers of the Fantoccini a little more discretion in their move- ments, or the piece will decidedly fail. We do not The following are extracts from the Court Circular: TUESDAY.— Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, the Duke of Devonshire went to Mr. Canning, at his house in Downing street, having returned from the Marquis of Lansdowne, at his seat at Richmond. His Grace remained with Mr, Canning till about half- past one. Soon after the departure of his Grace, Mr. Canning went to the King, and remained with hi Majesty an hour and a half, and then returned to Downing- street, when the Minister had another inter- view with the Duke of Devonshire, accompanied by the Earl of Carlisle. His Grace and his Lord:"' continued with Mr. Canning in deliberation foi hour and a half. Mr. Canning afterwards received visits from the Marquis of Anglesea, Viscount Gran- ville, Earl Morley, Lord Seaford, Mr. Hnskisson, See. Sir John Copley had an audience of the King yester- day at his Palace al St. James's. WEDNESDAY— M r. Canning was visited yesterday morning by the Right Hon, F. Robinson, Viscount Granville, and Lord Lyndhurst ( Sir John Copley) Mr. Canning went, about, three o'fc4oek, to the King* Palace, St. James's, to have an audience of the King and remained about an hour with his Majesty. O11 his return, Mr. Canning received the Duke of Devonshire His Grace continued with the Minister about two hours and, on leaving- Mr. Canning, proceeded to the sidence of the Hon. J.

The Marquis of Anglesea met Iiis Grace there, when the Duke delivered to his Lordship the official documenls of the office. The Duke of Wellington went to the office of the Com- mander- in- Chief, in the Horse Guards, yesterday afternoon, and transacted business with Sir Herbert Taylor for about two hours. Sir Herbert Taylor held a Levee yesterday morning, at the Commander- in- Chief's office, for the first time since the resignation of the Duke of Wellington, to whom Sir Herbert was Military Secretary, lit was announced at the Horse Guards yesterday, that the Duke of Wellington will hold a Levee to- day, at ihe Commander- in- Chief's office. THURSDAY — The Duke of Devonshire had an audi ence of the King- yesterday. The Earl of Darlington visited the Duke of Sussex yesterday morning, at his apartments in the King's Palace, in Kensington. The Duke of Devonshire, the Marquis of Bristol, Lord Graves, Mr. Hnskisson, Mr. Wynn, Viscount Granville, Lord Seaford, and Mr. Herries, visited Mr. Canning yesterday, at his residence in Downing- street. Mr. Canning went twice to see the King. The Duke of Clarence went to the Admiralty yester- day, when Viscount Melville delivered to his Royal Highness the official papers attached to the office. His Royal Highness afterwards transacted bnsinss there. Viscount Dudley and Ward commenced transacting business, for the first time, yesterday morning, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, at the Foreign Office in Downing- street. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—[ From a Morning Paper.]— Great fortunes, however meritoriously purchased, excite more of the envy than the admira- tion of mankind. The Duke of Wellington has dis- covered this truth. He who was once the idol of the nation, in whose praise the language of pane- gyric was" exhausted, is now pursued with a spirit of malicious and vulgar detraction that would con- found one of the greatest Generals in our history with those beings of the day who rise without merit and fall without regret. We never were among the flatterers of his Grace; we have even, on public grounds, taken the liberty of pointing out what we thought to be the defects of a character otherwise splendid. We did this when the sunshine of Court favour was upon him, and when those who are now most merciless in their calumnies, were as slavish in offering him the incense of their praise. His principles have undergone no change since. His political fortunes have altered, but his political identity is the same. From the moment that his military career closed, by leaving England no more enemies to conquer, he declared for the very opinions in government to which he now adheres, for which he has also been content to sacrifice power, emolument, and the personal favour of his Sovereign. Whether his opinions be bad or good, he has frankly avowed and faithfully abided by them. He may have been wrong, but he has not been hypocritical. He has not betrayed his party to serve his ambition, or given that homage to the success of a rival which he had denied to his ca- pacity. He is not a solitary instance of the virulence of party attempting to obliterate the recollection of exploits that were too important to be ever forgotten. When the great Duke of Marlborough fell by the intrigues of Mrs. Masham, he was decried and persecuted with about as much justice, decency, and good taste, as we now see displayed by ihe asso- ciated revilers of the Duke of Wellington. The detraction of such men passes away, but history preserves their fame. To reprove them when they do wrong is a just and useful freedom in the press which we like to see exercised. But that those who were their idolaters in prosperous circumstances should endeavour to despoil them of their just re- putation in adversity, is what no well- constituted mind can for a moment tolerate. MINISTERIAL CHANGES.— The negociations and intrigues now going 011, will very strongly remind the public of what took place in the year 1812. A reference to some ofthe principal features of those events, will be interesting at the present moment.- Early in 1812, Lord Wellesley, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, resigned his situation. His present Majesty, then Prince Regent, was very desirous of keeping Lord Wellesley in his service It happened that just about that time, the celebrated restrictions were to end, leaving the Prince at liberty to choose" his own Ministers. His Royal Highness wrote a letter to the Duke of York, in February, for the purpose of having overtures made to the Whigs. This letter contained the following- very remarkable expressions:— " i have no predilections toindulg* e, no resentments to gratify, no objects to attain, but such as an common tothe whole empire."—" I cannot conclude without expressing the gratification I should feel, i some of those persons with whom the early habits o my public life were formed, would strengthen my hands, and constitute a part of my government. With such support, and aided by a vigorous and united ad- ministration, formed on the most liberal basis, I shall look with confidence to a prosperous issue of the most arduous contest in which Great Britain was ever en- gaged. Y'ou are authorised to communicate these sentiments to Lord Grey, who, I have no doubt, will make them known to Lord Grenville." A negociation ensued with these noble Lords, which ultimately failed. In the beginning of May, in that year, the tragical event of the assassination of Mr. Percival took place. Lord Liverpool suc- ceeded him as Premier, and he was authorised by the Prince Regent, to bring in Lord Wellesley and Mr. Canning, if possible. Nothing is more curious throughout these negociations, than the friendship which appeared to exist between the Duke of Wellington's brother ( the Marquis of Wellesley) and Mr. Canning. Lord Wellesley repeatedly said that the cabinet, without Mr. Canning, would be nothing; and they were conjoined in every step which was taken upon the occasion. It is unnecessary to state the result— it is known to all the world. But the history of such events will no doubt be curious, when we compare them with what is passing at pre- sent. A demand for British goods has sprung up in India, to an extent which was not expected— while the American and Continental markets have been glutted for such a length of time. The exportation of yarns last year, to India, has been very brisk, and handsome profits have been realized, and this spring a large exportation has taken place. Considering the im- mense number of inhabitants, it would be difficult to fix a limit to the probable amount of the demand. It is a new market, confined exclusively to ourselves, and where British interests are paramount. The native spinner is quite unable to compete with our machinery, and the demand for our cotton yarn will be commensurate with the native cotton manufactory. This growing trade will, no doubt, be viewed with interest by our home manufacturers, and the only matter of surprise is, that with our decided superiority 11 machinery, and tlie perfection attained iu the arious processes of dyeing and bleaching, our uu. ivalled muslins and prints have not superseded the exportation of yarn.— Glasgow Chronicle, The late Mr. BundelVs Property.— A Cor- respondent says, " The very uncommon and immense acquisition of wealth by the late Mr. Rundell, of Ludgate- hill, who was a native of this city, has strongly excited the attention of many who well remember him, whilst a resident, and almost half the parish of Norton St. Philip's are said to claim relationship with the deceased, who, like Midas, turned every thing he touched into gold! It is deeply to be regretted, however, that notwithstand- ing the great wealth of the eminent individual above alluded to, several of his poor distant relations in Bath have been overlooked. One in particular, an old man 72 years of age, of the name of John Rundell, who has for a great number of years been employed in the menial capacity of sweeping the market, & c. frequently received small remittances of £ 1 or £ 2 from Mr. Rundell himself, but, un- fortunately, no mention is made of him in the will. The poor man, who has two children, is, from his advanced age, unable to do much work, and con- sequently greatly distressed. It is hoped, therefore, should this meet the eye of the highly respectable executors, or of those more fortunate connections who have so liberally shared the bounty of Mr. Rundell, they will humanely take the case of this individual into consideration, and afford him that relief which Mr. R. had he lived, would no doubt have so readily bestowed."— Bath Herald. REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER.— With a view to the means of judging as to the number of electors that would be given, taking different rates of assessment as the rule of suffrage, we may mention that the number of assessments from £ 11 to £ 19 per annum, both inclusive, was, in the year 1825, in the township of Manchester, 2091, and of £ 20 and upwards, 3674. The number at £ 11 and upwards was 5765. If we add one- third for the contiguous townships ( to which it seems generally agreed the right of election should be limited) which, considering how many persons living there are assessed for warehouses, shops, & c. in Man- chester, and could not, of course, vote twice, is perhaps enough, there would be, in round numbers, 3000 assessments from £ 11 to £ 19, nearly 5000 of £ 20 and upwards, and about 7500 of £ 11 and upwards.— Manchester Guardian. Philip Ha'iley, a Roman Catholic, who had been introduced from Ireland as a teacher into a catholic school at Preston, in Lancashire, made a public recantation in the parish church of that town on Easter Sunday, in the presence of a large congrega- tion,, Corn Bill and Agriculture.— We regret that the present state of affairs lias precluded us from any observations, of late, on this question. Every thing is extremely stagnant and dull, 011 account of the uncertainty as to tbe issue of the Corn Bill. It will, in all probability, be lost in the House of Lords. In the mean time, the farmer, the miller, tbe corn factor, and all persons connected with the corn trade, are suffering greatly by the present state of suspense, anxiety, and stagnation of trade. No capital can be employed, and scarcely any purchases are made ( except for the bare necessities of the moment) till something be settled as to the Corn Laws. NEW CORN LAW.— We can bestow little praise upon what is probably considered the great merit of this Corn- bill as compared with former ones; the rapid diminution ofthe duty as the price rises. This is the popular feature of the plan. It is in appear- ance a boon, and a great one, conferred upon our own countrymen. But, in truth, it is precisely the reverse: it is a boon conferred upon the foreigner at their expense. A low duty is only then a benefit to the buyer, when it occasions a low price. When a low duty accompanies a high price, it is a benefit to the seller. A few words will render our meaning clear. When the people of Great Britain are made to pay 64s. per quarter, for corn which they might constantly obtain at 52s. they are evidently taxed to the extent of 12s. per quarter ; a tax which, in so far as they consume home- grown corn, is partly wasted in useless labour on ungrateful soils, partly gained by the landlords, in the manner so often explained ; but in so far as it falls upon im- ported corn, it comes into our own treasury, be- cause the importation duty at 64s. is exactly 12s. Thus, when the price is 64s.: but what if the price rises to 70s. before the first ships arrive in port' In that case, the people of England are taxed no longer 12s. per quarter, but 18s.; and the custom- house, instead of taking the whole 18s. as it would have taken the 12s. contents itself with Is. per quarter. The remaining 17s. are not saved tothe consumer, for he, by the supposition, is paying 70s per quarter. They are, therefore, given away, gratuitously given away, to the importer, and lost to the community. If this bounty were retained by the importing merchants, who may be our own countrymen, the evil would not be so great. But it is self- evident that this large accession to their pro- fits will only enable them to give a higher price to the Polish farmer; that their mutual competition would oblige them to do so, and that the benefit intended to be conferred upon our own consumers by the gradually decreasing scale of duties from 12s, downwards, will be reaped principally, if not holly, by foreigners.— Westminster Revieiv. THE CAROLINA WAX TREE.— Mr. Wm. Hamilton M. D. strongly recommends the cultivation of this tree in England. " The shrub," he says, " to which I allude, is the Myrica Carolinesis, or Wax Tree of Carolina, a hardy plant, perfectly acclimated in France, where it flourishes luxuriantly in a sandy and blackish turf,' rising* from the height of four to six or seven feet, producing in general an abundant crop of berries every year, and requiring little care in its culture. It is readily propagated; either by sowing the seeds in spring, and afterwards trans- planting, or, which is the most expeditious method, and equally successful, by taking off the young shoots which rise in profusion at the base of the larger shrubs, and planting these out at the distance of about three feet from each other. The Myrica Carolinesis succeeds wherever the soil is light and rather moist; and has been long known to flourish even on the sands of Prussia In this latter king- dom, as we learn from an interesting memoir of Charles Louis Cader, inserted in the Annates de Chimie, it was successfully cultivated by the late Mr. Sulzer, in a garden 011 the banks of the Spree, half a league from the city of Berlin, in latitude 52 degrees 53 minutes, which is nearly a degree and a half farther north than London, and where the mean annual temperature is only 2 degrees 9 minutes higher than that of London. Here the wax- tree attracted the peculiar notice of every visitor by the delicious odour of its leaves, which they preserved a long time, and by the fragrance of its berries. The wax obtained from these berries was also so highly odoriferous, that a single candle formed from it not only perfumed the room in which it was lighted, during the period of its burning, but also for a considerable time after it was extinguished. From what has been said, we may, I think, fairly conclude that this valuable plant is capable of being success- fully cultivated in the light sandy soils of Plymouth, and, in many parts of the open, and at present, neglected tract in the neighbourhood of the Lizard, where acres, now not worth 2s. 6d. an acre for their produce above ground, might be made almost to rival, on their surface, the wealth which they con eeal in their bowels. In America, to which we are indebted for this valuable production, a very fertile shrub will yield 71bs, of berries, 4lbs. of which yield lib. of wax. This, when melted, is of a greenish yellow colour, and of a firmer consistence than bees- wax. Candles made of it give a white flame and good light, without smoke, and do uot gutter like tallow candles. When quite fresh they afford a balsamic odour, which the inhabitants of Louisiana esteem highly salubrious. WHITEHALL, APRIL 23, 1827— The King has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed" under the Great Seal, granting the dignity of a Baron of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland unto the Right Honourable Sir John Singleton Copley, Knight, and the heirs male of his body law- fully begotten, by the name, style, and title of Baron Lyndhurst, of Lyndhurst, in the county ofSouthamp'- ton. F'UNF. RAL OF THE MARQUIS CHOLMONDELEY.— On Thursday morning, the 19th ultimo, the remains of this much- esteemed Nobleman were removed from his late residenee in London, for interment in the family vault at Malpas, Cheshire.— On the evening of Tuesday, the hearse arrived at Whit- church, where the body remained for the night; and the following morning, the body was moved from the latter place towards Malpas. Between these towns a large body of the tenantry 011 horseback,, some gentry in carriages, with an immense concourse of pedestrians, met the corpse, and formed in order of procession. The hearse was followed by two mourning coaches, and the late Marquis's carriage,, each drawn by six horses. The body was not taken to Cholmondeley Castle, but moved directly 011 towards the church, at some distance from which' the procession was met by the Rev. Sir Philip Egerton, and the Rev. W. W. Drake, by whom the funeral service was performed in the most impressive manner. The coffin was covered with crimson velvet, adorned with coronets, & c. An immense crowd of people was present on the occasion from the surrounding country, amid whose tears and lamentations, the remains of this excellent nobleman were consigned to the tomb of his ancestors. The paragraph copied from a Stafford Paper y detailing a highway robbery and attempt to murder a servant near Drayton, was, it appears, erroneous; as it is now stated, in the same print, that the man had, in fact, spent some money belonging to his employer, in a way in which he did not like to explain, and hit upon the plan of being robbed and nearly murdered, as the best method of avoiding the1 blame that his conduct deserved. MORE COINERS.— In consequence of private in- formation recently obtained, a party of officers re- paired to an obscure house, No. 6, Isabella- street, ili- the immediate vicinity of the Cobourg Theatre, where, 011 gaining admission, they found a man and woman, of genteel appearance, sitting down to tea in the parlour. Being taken into custody, and the house searched, a vast quantity of counterfeit coin, princi- pally shillings and crowns, together with a mouldy the impression from which even surpassed the die used by the late Vauxhail gang, and the metal used is infinitely more deceptive. The prisoners, who had not been in that neighbourhood above three months, were conveyed, with the apparatus, in two coaches to Hatton- garden Office, where the female ( a young person about 27 years of age, the mother of two children, and whose husband is now under sentence of death for a similar offence) gave her name, Mary Good ( supposed to be fictitious); and the general surprise was not a little increased, when, on the announcement of her companion's name, it turned out to be a person named Ireland, who, some months ago, made a considerable figure at the west- end of the metropolis, and had only been liberated from prison since December last. The parties were remanded for a fortnight. APPREHENSION OF MORE COINERS.— In conse- quence of information received at a late hour on Tuesday night, Limbrick, Edwards, Lloyd, aud Kirby, officers of the Hatton Garden establishment, proceeded 011 Wednesday morning to a house in Chesterfield- street, Marylebone, and having effected an entrance, proceeded to a back room on the first floor, and took a man and woman into custody, who were in the act of colouring and polishing* pieces of base coin. On searching the house, an immense quantity of counterfeit shillings, sixpences,, and half- crowns, were found concealed, and in different stages of perfection. These, with , a quantity of apparatus and tools, were immediately packed in a trunk, and with the prisoners conveyed to Hatton Garden Office, where they underwent a long exami- nation, which was kept strictly private. They were then remanded to a future day, when the Mint Solicitor, Mr. Powell, will be in attendance. The male prisoner was fashionably dressed, wearing a white hat, and is well known ; but, in the present stage of the business, it would be imprudent to mention his name, as further discoveries are ex- pected to take place. The female prisoner passes for his wife, but is said to be closely connected with an individual now in custody 011 a similar charge. When the officers entered the room, the woman fainted; but the male prisoner, with the utmost coolness, observed, " So you have found me out, have you? Well, then, its all over with me—• take me where you like." In the afternoon they were removed to the New Prison, in a very dejected state. THE LATE DR. MILNER. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, Your correspondent, Mr. Jones, has again put forth some presumptions as to the case of Sir J. C. Hippisley, and having once more quoted a sentence which, accord- ing to Mr. Bishop, the Baronet made use of in his last illness, he directly jumps to the conclusion that Sir John must have died a Roman Catholic, though, upon reading- the whole passage, as given by Mr. Bishop, nothing but a predetermined bias could lead any one to put such a construction upon it; and, what is not a little singular, Mr. Jones himself— cautious and well- disciplined as he is— even Mr. Jones, in his last letter, ( with what object 1 know not,) gratuitously intimates that the alleged observation of Sir John is in perfect consistency with the Liturgy of that Protestant Church, of which, I say, Sir John lived and died a member. I use the last expression, because I am fully persuaded that Sir J. S. Hippisley's veracity cannot with justice be questioned— and he unhesitatingly and without qua- lification declares, that bis Father " died firm and un- shaken in the Protestant belief." Sir J. S. Hippisley is now on tbe Continent; he cannot, therefore, as Mr. Jones well knows, answer the cavilling questions which a shrewd and practised controversialist may in his absence launch forth — but the declaration of that gen- tleman is loo plain, and his presence at the time of his father's decease is too notorious, to leave room for cavil, where truth only is the object sought to be attained. In the case of Dr. Hallifax, Mr. Jones probably thinks he lias entrenched himself in an impregnable position— he says, that lo prove Dr. Milner guilty of gratuitous falsity, it must uot only be proved that the charge against Dr. Hallifax was ( as Mr. Jones seems to admit) false, but lhat Dr. Milner had no authority for making that charge.— Mr. Jones evidently presumes that, as " dead men tell no tales"— and as the grave has closed over Dr. Milner, he cannot therefore be now convicted of having asserted what he did of Dr. Hallifax without authority. But, Sir, according to the well- known usage of civilized life, when a man is called upon, as Dr. Milner was, for his authority for making a parti- cular charge that he has published, and does neither produce that authority, nor himself prove the fact, why then the charge of gratuitions falsehood does apply to the person that has been so challenged. Mr. Jones calls upon me to surrender the pretended extract, as he terms it: that extract was not mine : the doubts that may be entertained upon it were fully dis- cussed in my first letter, wherein I not only shewed that tbe editions of Dr. Milner's 1 End of Controversy5, are not uniform, but that the work does not war- rant the character for charitable feeling which Mr. Jones would have bad the public entertain of the late Vicar Apostolic. I quoted some extracts from the editions now in my possession, which, to every Pro- testant mind must be conclusive not only of the feeling's of Dr. Milner, but of the temper of that Church, which claims to itself the exclusive possession of salvation.— Will Mr. Jones deny that these extracts are genuine? and will he admit that salvation may be attained out of the pale of the Roman Catholic Church ?— When he gives plain answers to these plain questions, he shall hear again from, Sir, your's, & c.
