Execution of Janiei Clasc, better known by the iame of blue Jemmy, and William Hewlett .— These nfoilunate men suffered the extreme sentence of lie law, on the new d'rop at, Ilchester, on Wednes. ay, having been condemned to suffer death at the ate Assizes held at Taunton. Jatnes Clase appears to ave been a very notorious character. He is said to ave confessed having stolen 110 less than a hundred iorses; and when the miserable man was informed hat Mr. Justice Park would become his Judge, con- cious of having several limes been arraigned before lim, he exclaimed, " Then I inn sure to be hanged." le was at his last trial charged with having stolen a nare, the property of Charles llolcombe. It appears hat Clasp, otherwise Blue Jemuiy, called nt a public louse, known by the name of the Crown and Anchor, II the parish of Misterton, kept by Mr. Mills, having lie horse with him. Mr. Mills, having heard of his 7ame as a hoise- stealer, began to suspect that the torse was stolen, and enquired of liiui at what price be would sell it. Cluse offered to dispose of tbe lllimal for and afterwards was willing to take £ 19. Mr. Mills, being certain lhat the mure was wort. Ii more than either of the afore. mentioned sums, became more of opinion that it. did not really belong to Hie prisoner, and consequently took an opportunity, unseen bv Cla'se, to enter tlie stable, and cut three notches iu the Inane of the horse, so as to be able to know it again. The prisoner in the course of the day took'the " horse and left the house. O11 tbe following day a hand- bill Was left at the inn, offering a reward for the recovery of a noire that had heen stolen. Mr. Mills, 011 reading ibe bill, found from the description f Ii a t it must be the same mare which he saw in the possession of Blue Jemmy ori the preceding day. He immediately made known the circumstance, aud pointed out the direction in which the prisoner went. Clase, on finding himself pursued, left the horse concealed in o pit, where it was afterwards discovered. The animal ' Was again brought to Mr. Mills, who testified that it' was the same which the prisoner brought lo his house, and which he could certainly identify from the marks which he had made in the mane. The facts of the case being thus clearly stated, the Jury soon found the prisoner Guilty ; nud when the Judge proceeded to pronounce his doom, the miserable culprit several times fell on bis knees, and earnestly begged lhat his life might be spared. It is said that Clase had been Ijrbnght to the bur nineteen times : he had been tried at Dorchester, Exeter, and Taunton. At ri ' foi- tiler Assize he was liberated, in consequence of there being a dark spot found on the foot of the horse lie was charged with having stolen, after a wiuiess had sworn tliat all the feet were w hite. III early life lie lived as a post- boy at Salisbury, after. ' wards he joined himself lo some gipsies, nud at length began those practices'which brought him to nn un- timely end : aged 52.— William Hewlett, aged 25, was found giiilty of havingstiileli 7 e< ve sheep and Slauihs, the property ( if Thomas Thatcher, 10 lambs, ihe pro- perty of WiHiiVm Thiitdller, and 5 hog sheep, the: property of Christopher Lodge. This miserable man,: after being condemned, Seemed to imagine that his: was a very hard ease. He said that he had never, j previous to the chiiiiriissio'll of the above offence, stolen more than four nmi twenty sheep!— Thus was ter- minated the existence of these unfpriuuate men. LIVERPOOL AND MANCUKSTTU RAII/ WAY.— AT • he recent annual meeting of the Company, a report I if the Directors was read, detailing the progress ' litherto made and tire statement ofthe funds. Tire' irst object with tho Directors was to appoint an; I Dtigineei- to superintend the operations, and after ( lue inquiry, Mr. Geo. Stephenson, of Newcastle- qn- < Fyne, a gentleman possessing great scientific know- 1 edge, was appointed. The purchase of land was I lie next most important duty, and the Directors bad either contracted for or made arrangements for Ihe purchase of nearly one- half of the whole line if road. Tile operations 011 Chat- moss, at the Man- chester end of the line, the excavations in the tunnel at Liverpool, and the deep cutting through Ihe high ground behind Wavertree, known by the name of Olive- mount, are now in full program of execution. There has been a working railway oil Ch& t- moss for some months, and great hopes are given that the roadway over that moss will be effected with much less difficulty than was ex- pected. The cuttings at Edge- hill, Olive- mount, and Rain- hill are going on satisfactorily. The next proceeding in point of magnitude is the viaduct over the valley of the Saiikey, which w ill consist of embankments and arches, for which purpose three million's of bricks are now making 011 Newtoti com- mon, and the Directors hope to make considerable progress in the erection ofthe great pillars of the viaduct iu the course of the ensuing summer. In tlieiron department, upwards of 3000 tons of rails and chairs had been contracted for 011 much lower terms than the estimated cost. The Directors then alluded to the amended bill which received the Royal assent 011 the 12tl » instant, the principal objects of which were— 1st, to empower the Direct- I ors to borrow £ 100,000 from thb'Exchequer Loan Commissioners, which would enable thein to proceed with the work without being obliged to eal'l for large, or too frequent instalments; 2dl_ v, to enable the Directors to charge interest npoti all itistal merits in ari- ear; aud 3illy, to enable the Company to receive and divide interest ut five per cent, on the capital expended until tbe railway is completed, such interest to be paid out of the surplus profit above £ 10 per share before any reduction of ton- nage rates shall take place. On the subject of the finances of the concern, the calls have been miide up in the most prompt and efficient manner, the amount of the arrears at present, out of instalments to the exferit of £ 102,000, being under £ 500. The Directors conclude by assuring the Subscribers that their opinion of the Railway is unchanged, whether considered as a measure of great public utility or 11s a source of profit to th » proprietors.— Gore's Liver- pool A dvertisar. NEW STEAM EMGITJE;— We have seen with sur- prise and admiration Mr. Dixon's new mode of generating steam, and its application in driving a steam- engine. There i3 110 boiler, and conse- quently, that cumbrous and dangerous part of steam engine is entirely got rid of; but instead of it, there is a cylindrical vessel of cast- iron, two feet ill length, one foot in external diameter, and about two inches in thickness, which is called the retort. This retort stands in an air vessel, and is surrounded with the fuel, which is of coal. In this retort the steam is generated exactly as fast as it is wanted. This is effected by a force- pump, worked by t* ie machinery, which forces the water, with an air vessel, similar to that of a common fire- engine. From this air vessel it is conveyed into a retort, where, through a tube perforated with innumerable small boles, it is dispersed in the form of mist, and instantly converted into steam. In order to set the machine in motion, there is another force- pump worked by hesnd, a few strok- es of which fol- ces a sufficient quantity of water into the retort to give the first impulse to the machinery. We saw this machinery in operation at Mr. Hall's dyeing- establishment in l. ymi. The machine was applied to drive a small steam- boat fitted up for the occasion. We took an excursion in the boat for about a mile across the pond. The boat moved at the fate of about six miles an hour. The power of the machinery not only kept up to tiie last moment, but even acted with an increased energy. This is a proof that the heat of the retort can be maintained without any diminution-. When we stopped, there ' was 110 blowing- off of steam, and no apprehension from the neglect of the engineer to take care of the safety valve. Tiia whole was harmless in an instant. Thus it appears that a boiler barely of the size of the cylinder to the common steam- engine, would be sufficient for the purpose of generating steam for this most useful piece of machinery.— American Paper. [ FROM TIIE MONTHLY MAOAZINF.] The changes iu the' Ministry have formed for some weeks pasi, and probably will form fr'rf some weeks to conic, the principal subject of public conversation. Uiimour lias stuffed my ears with so many Hitrmis. sr and conjectures respecting the nature of thope changes, and the probability of their duration, that. f hardly know which I tiAgkl to believe, mid which I ought , to repudiate. Only two points seem us yet definitively settled ;— and those are, that Mr, Canning is to he the bead of the Adminisliafion, t- iid that the Administration is nol tu be exclusively in favour of Ihe Catholics. Now, though I set mi great store' upon Sir. Canning's political luriiesiy, in ronscqneuce of liis having alternately flattcitil, bullied, and de- rided, pretty nearly every putty in ibe State for the' l ist thirty years, slill, as his interest' w: fil prevent bins from intriguing against his own Administration, he appears to me a litter person to be civtrn'jted'wrflr the helm of government al this particular crisis, tliair any other public man we possess Ws u- tir present deal lb of commanding talent and abilify. Sir. Tier- ney may, perhaps, be gifted with acute pent pi ionf and Mr. Brougham with more ready and. argument- ative eloquence ; but they are boilv vastly inferior lei Mr. Canning iu their experience of public business, and in their acquaintance with diplomatic forms and trickeries. I do uot, however, sec the advantage of gelling rid of the underling members of the late Cabinet", supposing that the new Cabinet is to lie constituted, like its predecessor, on the principle of division. I believe lhat Mr. Canning would have gladly worked on with the old hacks of office, if lhc, y would Mave consented to work on with him as' sub- ordinate agents; but their pride would not let them' yield to the degradation of serving under a mm wilhout ancestors, and they are in consequence left upon the strand friendless and nnpitied, whilst he is carried wilh a flowing tide into the harbour of royal antl popular approbation. Still lie is MuiTotimiwJ wilh Oppatlihg difficulties, and,' for my own part, t cannot conceive libw he will he able to form an effect- ive permanent Administration either with or without the aid of Whiggcry.* If llie Whigs join him, there must be, as in the case of fox and Lord N. irib, audi a sacrifice of principle 011 one - side or the other, irs would deprive Ibe Ministry of all public confidence, inasmuch' as they are pledged over and over again to support many of the measures, which he is quite as strongly ' pledged to oppose ami counteract; and if they do not join him, his adversaries will, 1 am afraid^ be loo strong foi' him lo resist ; and he will therefore he obliged either lo try the chance of another general election, or to resign into their hands the premier- ship, which he has so unexpectedly - wrested from their clutch. As- to. llie failure of an Administration pttrehy Catholic at this'moment-, there cannot be the slightest doubt, except in Ireland. The last division on tlte I Catholic Question is sufficient to convince any man : of cool judgment Of the loss which the cause of Emancipation sustained by the late elections ; and f : am sure that nothing has occurred siilce they were ; holderi' to diminish, though many circumstances have : occurred to aggravate, ( he reluctance which the people of England feel to grant that measure of II expediency and justice. I nm sorry 10 observe, from nti announcement int : the Morning Chronicle, lh. it ihefortheomiug nmhber • of the Edinburgh Fteviein contains an article 1111 the Catholic " Question, in wlfich'the writer gravely main- tains, that it is the iKinnden doty of the Irish C'rtho- ; lies lo bully ( lie English government and people, as t they will never uiaui Emancipation . until they, aw • bullied into it. As far as the " sensitive" people. of 1 Ireland are concerned, this is a dangerous doctrine In - inculcate,. 011 account of its intimate connection wilh outrage mid bloodshed, with insurrection and rebef- 1 lion ; and, as far as ( he hrgll. spirited people of F. og- ' land are concerned',' it is au erroneous doctrine, f contradicted by that notorious disregard of personal 1 consequences, which iuthiced Voltaire, to liken them to I Iheir own mastiffs, which run blindly on. lions,, and i get their heads crushed for their pains. The Catholics - ( it Ireland may depend upon t't, that we shall never , yield to force, that which we refuse to solicitation ; t and that Their pmspect . Of sncccse is removed • lii- an t infinite distance, if ihey seek In work upon our f.' nrs, f instead of aiming lo convince our reason. H e have e the'consciousness of feeling, ami they Ought ( o have - the prudent cuntioit of recollecting, that iu Ihe last e great slrn'ggle bviween us lit the Revolution, v0 e' reduced them to a slavery so ubjiect, as lo dishonour II die conqueror more than the conquered, Iiiungji lilty s had been for seme time previously in almostmidis- r puled possession of till the resources of Ireland, : aod 11 were supported by Ihe unbroken power of Louis the e Fourteenth, and w& were contending wish a disap- il pointed f'aclion, and discontented populace, al home, t- and were labouring under all the other disadvantages 11 of a newly- settled government. Besides, Eniauei- d pal ion, if gi anted without the good- Will of fhe people if of England, would,, from being ' the triumph ol'.' ooe e party over anolh'er, fail to he a valuable acquisition I even to the inhabitants of Ireland;- and how the v good will of ihe people of England is to lie roneiliiUed e by telling llntin that, if ( bey- do not grant Elnawi- 1, palion of their own accord, ihey sltaH'see their son* it slaughtered on their thresholds, and hear their daugli- 1- ters scream for assistance on Ihe graves uf their le sires," the- miserable spooler, who employs the ( Ureal, le can alone explain to them, ie The Catholics, of late^ have frequently complained , s — anil nol without justice— of . the vituperative tmr- guage, in which their opponents speak, not only of a* iheir tenets, bill also of tbcir praelices. Hard words never yet were arguments — and ibe chalice is, that ls he who has a great abundance o'f the firsi, litis a mar- r~ velloos lack of the latter article. Let it not, however, lie fiup| Hist'd,' that tlie hard words ate all on one side ;, for instance, read Ihe following extract from a letter, r- which the Cathoiic Bishop Doyle has addressed, of during the last month, to ibe Protestant Archbisliiip Magee, antl then wonder, if you can, al the increasing e- hostility lo live Catholics; which is fast'. pervading a every part of the Empire :— It may lie safely lifiiruT- 0f ed that the Duke of Alva was riot half so lost to the v0 feelings tif nature arid decency as Cranmer and | lcl Henry ; or that ihe cruel assassins of St. Barthotcmi were not more wicked, more heartless, . more crud, than lire bloody satellites of Elizabeth or Cromwell, in England or Ireland — that Mary Tray incomparably " less a persecutor than her sister ; that fhe procdrd- , st ings of Knox and ihe Covenanters in Scotland, of • P) the Parliament, Protector, and Viceroys iii ihis - I', country, surpass BEYOND ME.

No, all the fiends of he Wilton, if let loose upon t he earth, could not exceed in cruelty, impiety, and injustice, the persecutions ofthe Irish people !!

Master of '. the Mint, J udge Advocate GeiVerul, uud. Surveyor General ? iVir. CANNING ( in a very emphntio tone) : Yes ! Mr DAWSJON. said he intended to make a motion on t'he subject. Report's were abroad ' that . those offices were ty he filled tip by . persons who had lately, ^>> file* C<* d with the right hou. gentleman. jfthis were the ca^ e, it. would be the " last act of tiie political farce that had lately been performed. He had heaid four of ( lie late Ministers say that they, had sent, their letters ftf resjgnai ion in lime'for the rijfht hon. gentleman to h-. we received them at the Foreign Office.. The right hon. gent', had, however,, stated that, lie bad received Hiem. in the Royal CJosset. if this were so, they appeared |<> be sent th;- ie for the purpose of making » Vu impression on the Royal mind and it was a eurioiri coineidfiice, that at the same time an impression was . made on the - pub- lie mind by the public press. The hon. member for VYiochelfen ( Mr. Brougham) might perhaps know how this was . done.- .-. That Iron. gent, hud » aid that thei. e was for sonie years an approxima- tion on the part of himself and friends towards tbe opinions of the present. Prime Minister. Mow what fcort Of air approximation there was would, appear from their votes. Since thfi right lion, gentleman ( Air. Canning) hard take^ i ofiice as Secretary for Foreign Affairs, tlfe Member for LvftareshoroUgh ( Mr, Tierney-) v who, . according to report, was to be lh<\ New Master of the Mini, had voted 49 times against him; the hon. and' learned member for Wiriehelsea ( fv'ivBriuigh- un) had also voted against him 49 times ; the hon. member for Ware ham-. ( M r. C. alcraft), who Was also set dow u for office, had voted 47 times ugainst him ; and the Hon. Bait. ( Sir F.' Burdet- t) had opposed him on the REFORRIV Question, and on various ^ her questions , of domestic, foreign, and colonial policy. — There was but one question on which they coalesced— that was the Catholic Question, and that was hot to he made a Cabinet Question. At the head of the subjects of difference was Reform in Parlia- ment. The only bond of union between the parties to this extraordinary coalition was the Catholic Question, wild it Was a delusion on the country if that question were not brought to immediate issue. He looked upon the conduct of the Prime Minister as taken for the gratification of his own personal ambition, in seeking which he had not been scrupulous of the means.— The hon. member moved for u copy of the Appointment of the Judge Advocate. Mr. BROUGHAM said, lie rose i > second the motion. Never had he seen Such an eii'orl of faction. The boh. gentleman finds a week out of place so painful, that he T's determined not to wait a,' month' if he can help it. lie wants to compel the friends of the Catholics to jjWes's forward that question at a moment fa. tul to its success. After such advice from an enemy, if. they how pressed forward their question, they, must be stricken with madness. The principles of tlie present Government, were truly English ou all questions of foreign policy,! of foreign trade, and of South America. These were ihe cnnliiia. l measures of the present Government ; and lie had himself propounded them at it former period, when they were opposed by Govern- ment. The adoption of an English and manly policy was owing to the present Prime Minister; and while, he maiutaiyed it, he should have his cordial, zealous, and disinterested support. Mr. CANNING said, he rose to request the House to replace the Hon. General in the priority to which he was entitled in introducing his motion ; and he Would remind the hon. gentleman who had made the present motion, that such attempts carried their own remedy by the disgust they produced. He did not anticipate file Lord Chancellor's resignation, nor did his Ma- jesty, till the receipt of his Lordship's letter, after five other Ministers had resigned, lie hesitated not, Irow. ever, to say, that the conduct of Lord Eldon. in the late transaction bad been, in every poiut of view, unexceptionable. Mr. PBEL said, that unless there was a clear ex- planation of the principles on which the union com posing the present Ministry w « « formed, and of the causes why its completion waB delayed, there would be an imputation ou the character of the Adminis- tration, under which it should not be a! lowed to rest. Feeling himself independent of the Government, he intended, through evil report and good report, to mail.*- iin the institutions of the country St his own con- sistency. lie could not have supposed that the hon. bait. ( Sir Francis Burdett) Would have offered himfcelf • us the most active supporter of a Government divided on the Catholic Question. The country had now a " Prime1' Minister and a Lord Chancellor opposed on the Catholic. Question; and an . Attorney and Solicitor General equally divided, each of them candidates for tiie same University, and grounding their cluiihs on their discordant opinions. When he saw these dis- agreements, he must defer giving any vote in con- fidence ofthe present Administration, before he knew the principles on which it was formed, nnd whether they were agreed on the great question;* of Parlia mentary Reform, the Repeal of the Corporation and Test: Acts, and others of minor importance. A divided Cabinet, with Ihe want of Parliamentary Reform, of Catholic Emancipation, and of the repeal of. the Cor- poration aud Test Acts, & c. had hitherto been declared the greatest bars to the Improvement of the Country ; but now, all of a sudden, the parties who pressed these subjects forward, had abandoned them in an anxiety to coalesce with those persons in. the Adminis- tration, who had heretofore' been the objects of their ridicule aud opposition. Sir FRANCIS BTRDBTT said, he would tell the right lion, gent, that he had abandoned no principle} he was still for Parliamentary Reform ; but on that question, as well as on every other, he must endeavour to act as a man of common sense, and seek the good that was attainable ; and he trusted that the Catholic or auy othey question would uot be endangered by any premature urging of it, so as to place the question and the country in jeopardy at the same tinie. By firm find considerate conduct, the King ond the people: Would alike be served. Mr. CANNING, in explanation, remarked, that he had not applied the term " disgust" to the inquiry, but to the uneourteous manner in which it was brought- forward, without any notice whatever, aud made studiously to introduce an inflammatory speech. He was asked, two questions — Whether he - would sup- port Parliamentary Reform] he answered No; aud Whether he would support the Repeal of the Test Act ? he also answered Nh — thinking that it would prejudice the Catholic question. He was for. correct- ing practical, not theoretical grievances.— The right lion, gentleman, referring to the course adopted by Mr. Dawson, said, 44 I rejoice that the standard of opposition is nt length raised in< this House. Snch an set is to me worth a thousand professions of qualified neutrality. In whatever mind the feeling of hostility Ju. rk- s, let it come boldly forth, and boldly will I meet it." Sir E. KNATCHBCLL said, it was an important point for the House to know upon what principles the Go- vernment was meant to be carried on ; and, above all, of what men it. vvas to be composed, It was not telling the hon. gentlemen that they were, connected with a faction that would satisfy the people. As long as the Government was constituted as it now was, it would be impossible for it Jo enjoy the confidence of the country. Lord JOHN RCSSELL wished to remind the House that Parliamentary Reform was never a Parliamentary • question of the Whigs as a party. It was a question on which there was a great diversity of opinions amongst fhem ; and ns there now appeared a great • iukewarmness in the. country, he should not bring it forward.- underthe present circumstances. Mr. DAWSON said, he should not, press Bis motion to a division; and after Sir G.• WAMRKWDKK had ex- pressed his intention; of supporting the present Ad- ministration, the motion was negatived General GASCOYNR then postponed his motion until Monday. Various petitions were presented against Any alter- ation of live Corn' Laws, and for- and aguiust Ctflholic. Emancipation. HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. The Earl of WINCHELSKA, in order, as his. Lordship expressed himself, to put the principles of the New Administration to tho lest, gave notice of a motion that their Lordships should .. resolve themselves into a Committee for. the purpose of taking the State of the Nation into consideration* His Lordship originally named the 7th of next month, but eventually declined fixing ihe precise day . HOUSE OF" COMMONS- FRIDAY. Mr. HRKRIJRS having moved that tbe Committee of Supply should he. postponed, Sir T.. LjKt. HBui. pjSB. in an address of considerable length, declared he could not give his support to the • right lion, gem ( Mr, Canning) and his new friends, and he railed upon the House to hesittue before it ton^ ented to make ' any grants, for the public service. Why had all ihe questions which filled the Parlia- mentary Paper disappeared, been put off, or struck « u. t? He, for one, would oppose an Administration., th « members and supporters of whieh professed lo want certain great questions carried while out of office, hut when they g'ot. into place, did not wish t'o have them agitated. , „',- Afrr.

Mr. W. Y. PKEL said, although he ( Mr. P.) was opposed to Catholic Emancipation, lie had been an admirer of the talents of the right hon. gent. ( Mr. Canning),, and had supported must of his measures, but it was when lie had been r. member of an Admin- istration containing mefi of better- judgment. Row,.- when. he. saw him surrounded by,- and coalescing with, visionary theorists and political economists, he could hot hut look with alarm at the danger* that might arise lo the country from the race of the right hon. gent, and his new associates. Never was there a greater delusion than that which was now called a Cabinet. In a very few weeks, not half of those of whom it was composed, would he' found in it. He looked with alarm to the dangers which might ensue to ( he Protestant Establishment from an Administra- tion constituted like the present. From the manner, irr which that Cabinet had been filled up, th'eie must hu- ve. been- a sacrifice of principle on one side or other Lord (/ A! 3TI.

The Paris papers contain the unexpected and important intelligence of the disbanding of the whole. National Guard of Paris, by a Royal Ordi- nance of the King. The causes of this sudden and extraordinary measure are but obscurely hinted at. The King, it appeared, reviewed several of the battalions oil Sunday, when,- according to the Journal des Debais, they gave utterance to certain hostile feelings against, the Ministry. This, how- ever does not seem sufficiently to account for * o decisive a step as: the disbanding' the whole body. On Monday, at day- break, the posts usually occupied by the National Guards, were relieved by gens ( Carmerie. The French Funds had only slightly declined in consequence.

" VVhal lias lieen ( lie effect of the tamperintf with the Currency, the Corn Laws, & c. on the general interests and inland trade and pnrsnifs of tbe coun- try, may be judg- ed of from the circnmstance, that the produce of the Excise duties in this district, durin? the last quarter, « - as £ 9000 less than the pro- duce of the corresponding quarter last year.— There is, webeiievc, no question that much of this deficien- cy can be accounted for, by the fact, that persons in the malting, & c. trades, were afraid of embarking their capital at a period when, as fhev feared, the Legislature might adopt some- speculative project that would involve them in great, if not irretrievable, difficulties.

WHITEHALL, APRIL 26, 1827— The tord Chan- cellor has appointed . tames Cheese, of Kington, in the county of Hereford, Gent, to be a Master Extraordinary in the High Court of Chancery. The CELEBRATED COSMETIC, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, appropriately styled by its numerous admirers " The Auxiliary of Beauty," is in all climes and seasons- of inestimable importance to female loveliness. In summer, it diffuses delightful cool- ness, guards the skin effectually against the baneful influence ofa solar heat; prevents stain, tan, freckle, and eruption; confers transparent whiteness inter- mixed with roseate bloom, and averts totally the: approach of cutaneous imperfection in any shape whatsoever! Equally available are the virtues of Rowland's Kalydor during the rigours of Winter. Than inclement cold not auy attack more seriously impairs the beauty of a fine skin ; it becomes rough, red, vulgarly unseemly, broken, chapped, and fre- quently disfigured by chilblain ; all which deformi- ties the Kalydor prevents or removes. Throughout season, time, and climate, this faithful auxiliary, arrays the neck and arms in radiant brilliancy, and perpetuates this vivid bloom of juvenile attraction. To Mothers nursing their Offspring, the Kalydor proves a healing balm in all cases of soreness or in- flammation of the breast; and to Gentlemen, its previous application removes all irritability of the skin, and renders' the act of shaving, theretofore a painful and difficult, now an easy and pleasant, operation. MRS. ELLIS RESPECTFULLY informs her Friends, that her MILLINERY, DRESSES, and RABY LINEN, selected iu London, will be rendy for their Inspection on MONDAY, the Mth of May Instant. MABKET- PI.

Mr. Merewether then proceeded to call witnesses in support of what he had urged— Star. LUDLOW ELECTION.— The Committee appointed to try the petition against this Election, met this morning at half- past ten o'clock,- and proceeded to examine several witnesses relative to the right of election. Mr. Baxter, the town clerk, underwent a very minute examination relative to the boundaries of Ludlow, and a cross- examination by Mr. Adam, counsel for the sitting member. Both Lord Clive and Mr. Charlton were present during the pro- ceedings.— Globo. HOUSE OF LORDS- MONDAY. The Marquis of LONDOK DRRBY, after expressing his wish to know, whether the Ministry, as at present formed, consisted of the real parties, or the mere shadows of those that were to come, moved for a Return of all Places, Salaries, Emoluments, and Pen- sions, bestowed on the Foreign Department of the Country, at Home and Abroad, since,. 1820. The objects of the Noble Lord'* motion were not clearly stated, but the inference to he draw n is, that by showing the pensions that have been granted, and tlie places bestowed, lie will he enabled to throw some light upon the alteration which has taken place in the House of Commons, by members quitting one side of the House and taking up their quarters 011 the other The new Secretary for Foreign - Affairs, Lord Viscount DUDLEY and WARD, did not object to the . motion, hut suggested the propriety of notice being given for the production of the requisite papers, & e.

THR SHIPPING IKTERRS'F. General GARCOVKI? moved for the appoinUneut of a Select Committee, to enquire into the prefteut de- pressed . state of British; Ship- owners ; & contended, al great length, that the result of the new or reciprocity system was ei. tirely in, favour of the Foreigner and against the British Shipping Interest.— Mr. LIDDELL seconded the motion. Sir J. YORKR supported the motion, ns one that went fo the maintenance of the maritime strength and naval supremacy of the - Empire.— Mr, CCRWEN also supported the motion. Mr. I'usKtssox, in a very long nnd elaborate speech, contended tlntt the Shipping Interest was mistaken, when it supposed that any injury had been inflicted upon it by the introduction of what was objected to under the title of Free- trade Principles, lie hoped the House would continue to give, him its support, and ( hen he should not be afraid ofthe result. " Mr. BARING acknowledged that great distress pre- vailed in the Shipping Interests of Ihe country; hut thought the appointment of a Committee would be attended with uo useful results; iu which Mr. PBKL acquiesced, General GASCOYNE then withdrew his motion, but pledged himself to bring it forward again early next Session. It is with the highest pleasure we refer to our Parliamentary Abstract, for the complete vindication of the Duke of Wellington, the Far I of Eldon, Mr. Peel, and other Noble and R% ht Honourable Personages who have retired fronr the Administra- tion of this country.— If any things ere wanting to add to the fame of the Duke of Wellington, the deficiency is superabundantly supplied by the testimony borne to that Illustrious Co. isioander's political and general character by Mr. Feel— rby a man whose word the . Duke's bitterest reHlers will not dare, to question.— The friends of our Protestant Constitution will. be glad to perceive, that the Protestant Cause will not be surrendered to the keeping of the New Administration; but that Mr. Peel antl that noble phalanx who haye always acted with hira, are determined to contend for the Constitution as established at the Revolution against the coalition of Liberals, Reformers, and Political Economists, now joined in motley partnership as general traders and joint- stock managers of the Public Affairs.— A determined and, we think, irre- sistible Opposition is also forming in the House of Peers; and it is not a little remarkable, as pointing- out, with unerring certainty, the character and fate Of the New Ministry, that the Marquis o Londonderry, Lord Ellenborough, Lord Castlereagh, aud others of the warmest supporters of what is called Catholic Emancipation, have been the first in each Mouse of Parliament to declare their uncom- promising hostility to the New Administration.

At Bridgnorth Fair, on the 1st instant, the show of cattle was the greatest known for many years past; poor barren cows, and cows with calves, were scarcely saleable ; bullocks of a good sort sold well, and also good fresh barren cows. Fat beasts sold from 7^ d. to 8a. per lb. to sink the offal. Mutton, shorn, from 7d. to 7jd. in the wool 8Jd. to sink the offal. In the horse fair, many fine animals were brought for sale ; and those of good quality, both of the draught and saddle kind, sold well. Amongst the many thousands of persons who attended this fair, a large sprinkling of pick pockets were on the alert, who, vye are sorry to say, met with a consider- able booty: the first prize they met with was between £ 40 and £ 50 froin a gentleman who re- sides near this town ; another person was eased of about the same sum; and many minor robberies took place. In some parts of the fair groups of four, five, orsix, of these light fingered gentry were seen within as many yards of each other, and some of them had hair- breadth escapes from the police officers. In our Fair yesterday fat sheep averaged about 7d. perlb.— Strong store Pigs sold higher, but olher descriptions of Swine sold at about the prices of last Fair. HF. RF.

SMOUT, At the Old Talbot Inn, in Berriew, in the County of Montgomery, no . Saturday, the 2d Day of June, 1807. foo'r io 1827, at four o'clock in the Afternoon, according to Conditions : A LI. that VALUABLE FREEHOLD rlL ESTATE, which consists of 44 A. OR. 22P. con- taining a Dwelling House, Outbuildings, and Collage for a' Labourer; also, a DWELLING HOUSE, FACTORY, and FULLING MILL, situated on a good Stream of Water, in Ibe Township of LL1FIOR, in ibe Parish of Berriew, in ihe County of Montgomery, six Miles from Newtown, about the same Distance from Welshpool, aud two Miles from the Montgomeryshire Canal. From the Facilities the Situation of this Estate offers of forming considerable Reservoirs of Water, so as to insure a constant Supply in tbe very driest Seasons, it is well worth the Attention of anv Person wishing to establish a Factory for making Welsh Flannel, in ihe very Centre of the Country where lhat Article is manufactured and sold. (£ § » For further Particulars apply to Mr. THOMAS RUESSE, on the Premises; or lo Mr. WM. FOL- LKES, Solicitor, Welshpool. The following sketch was published a few weeks ago,—- just before the late Administration was dis- solved; and having, therefore, beeu written before ils author could have had any conception of ( he mode in which the present Administration would be formed, it will be read with considerable interest:— " It is undeniable that this country, at this Moment, is suffering: extreme distress. In all its ascendant interests— in its agriculture, its commerce, audits manufactures—- i I is paral ysed. For more than I wel ve months the value of property has been diminishing ; the profits of the merchant, and the yltiges of the labourer have been declining j public enterprise has been che^ fied, and public confidence shaken; capital, iii some cases, lias been withdrawn from trade, and in others it remains inactive and unpro- ductive; the obligations of debtor aud creditor have been rendered more hazardous, and all contracts and leases perilous and less secure, while thousands of manufacturing labourers, have been reduced to a slate of destitution anil pauperism. rFhe nation has been agitated with predictions of famine, while our granaries were full to repletion, and the prices of corn unequal fo the cost of production; our hopes have been excited. by brilliant anticipations of in- creased trade and extended commerce, while our hips were ceasing to be profitably employed, and were actually rotting in onr harbours. Universal distrust has accordingly superseded unlimited confi- dence. The rights of property, and the dispositions of society have been inverted ; the sympathy w hich existed between the employer and the labourer has been destroyed, and Ihe latter encouraged to rule Ihe former; the tenant has been set at variance with his landlord ; the value of labour has been depressed till it has ceased to yield any return; the foreign manufacturer undersells the British one in his own niai t; machinery consequently rusts on its wheels, agriculture lang- nrshes, commerce pines, and our dream of prosperity has been dispelled by demon- strations too convincing to be any longer resisted". "• This is the unfortunate stale of our country. The voice of patriotism has been stifled amid the cheers of popular assemblies; and while our states, men have been pursuing the fancies and the delu- sionsof themodern physiocrats, they have destroyed the ancient sources of our national greatness; they have erased from thestatute books those laws w hich were the corner stone of our wealth and power, and, by shaking public credit to its base, have hazarded the peace of the empire. We express these senti- ments with deep sorrow aud humiliation. We have been accustomed to revere the measures ofa ministry, at the head of which are the illustrious names of lildon aud Liverpool. These great statesmen have long been the ornaments of their country; but it cannot longer be. concealed, that the. policy which has recently been adopted, certainly not under their auspices, but under the direction of some of their right honourable colleagues, has, if not entirely produced, at least materially increased the embar- rassments under which the country struggles. " We beg leave to recal attention to the pro- gressive consequences of what is called the. liberal systevl. First came the repeal of the navigation laws, arid the distresses ofthe shipowners; next, the abrogation of the combination laws, and the Scenes. of riot and outrage, which, while tbey dis- graced the country,' and excited the passions ofthe workmen, and produced party conflicts, and sowed the seeds of future irritation, considerably affected the security, and consequently the value of their employer's property, and incapacitated him from keeping his engagements, os* executing his commis- sions. Then followed the speculations in the silk trade, by which, while the country was otherwise aud comparatively prosperous, the artisans of Spital- flclds and Macclesfield, and of various other places, were deprived of the means of Subsistence. In 1825, these loyal, industrious, and ingenious persons be- came the victims of ( he new policy; and even at this moment they have not recovered, anil thousands of them never will recover, from the effects of Ihe experiment. To these measures of modern w isdom and liberalit y, and to these scenes of domestic strife, succeeded the alteration of the laws relative to the currency. When the nation, by the encouragement which was given to contract loans with the infant republics of America, and by the temptations held out by mercenary projectors of realizing wealth in foreign adventures, was exhausted of its available resources, and was severely suffering for its folly and its avarice— at this critical moment— when all eyes were fixed on the paternal conduct of the government— when the fortunes of thousands de- pended on the breath of the minister— at this very moment, this last act of liberality was carried into force. Without enquiry, without deliberation, with- out putting the accused upon their trial, without giving them warning of lite fate that awaited them, the country bankers were held up to parliamentary and public, obloquy; their credit was challenged ; their honour and integrity were impeached; their small promissory notes were officially cried down, and they were accused by a minister of the crown [ Mr. Robinson, now Lord Goderich], of being the promoters and fencouragers of those fraudulent schemes which were eorifcotted in the environs of the. Stock Exchange. " Will it be believed that the existing law was infringed and trampled upon in order to give effect to these restrictive innovations upon the rights and privileges of the country, bankers? This single and notorious fact shows the spirit in which the change was effected. As it was illegal and unjust, so were the consequences of it ruinous and overwhelming. The. pvoyiueial small notes immediately disappeared from circulation. The country was embarrassed before, but vow ils financial arrangements were completely. disord red, and its difHcultiesaugmented. ' File only currency that was available was con- demned, a :< 1, of course, ceased to circulate at the very moment that the Bank of England had not a sufficiency- of gold to meet its engagements, aiid give that assistance which was required, it was coni.- elled to issue that identical description of paper which the Chancellor of the Exchequer [ Air. Robin- son] had proscribed. It was obliged to return to lhat system, and that policy, which he had scouted. But it returned too late. The deed was done; the judicial sentence was passed ; the most useful and most intelligent class of traders of which the king dom could boast, was branded and stigmatised, and the calamities of the nation were increased four- fold by the 4 bold' and * judicious' and ' liberal' measure which was enacted to mitigate them! " We shall here pass over the treatment which the deputations of merchants and traders experi- enced at the hands of his Majesty" s ministers, sub- sequent to this rash experiment upon the currency; and we do this with less reluctance, as it will bring us more directly to subsequent events of far greater magnitude. It is, we presume, borne in mind, that tlie period of which we have just been speaking is the early part of 1820. At tbat time we see the mercantile, the banking, the manufacturing, the • hipping, the silk: throvving, and the trading inter- ests, all involved in great and unexampled diffi- culties. There was, however, one powerful interest which still preserved for itself an unpauperised ex- istence. it suffered, it is true, but it was not then vitally affected by the ruin which surrounded it. Its resources were not yet all expended ; and, although the vortex was before it, and the conse- quences inevitable, still it was comparatively un- affected. We allude to the agricultural interest. For some time the agriculturists had been assured ofthe changes which were iu preparation relative to the corn laws. It would indeed have been re- markable if, when every other interest in the state Was suffering from the effects of the new system, the agricultural one had been exemptexl from an ade- quate share- of the distress. The minister would certainly have satirised his own principles, and have been invidiously partial in his philanthropy, if, when he had plunged the one half ofthe nation into ruin, he could have been so unjust as to hesitate in involving the other half 111 corresponding diffi- culty. He was too severe a moralist, and too exact and accurate an economist to embarrass the one without embarrassing the other. The price of corn had, of course, to be immediately depressed. At sixty shillings per quarter it was considered ex orbitantly high, and especially so when it might be even higher. Famine was conjured up from the re- cesses of amorbid imagination to terrify the country with his long, gaunt, grim figure; the hungry rabble at his heels; aud a bag of wheat upon his shoulder, at l& Os. per quarter. It is true that the heavens did not frown so luridly as the minister; nor was the east wind so parching, or so destructive, as was expected; yet it was held to be ' pregnant with dearth, and charged with fever; and, consequently, there was DO other. remedy than the introduclioa into the market of the bonded corn belonging to the constituents of the right hon. member for Liverpool [ Mr. Btiskisso'n]. It was'a. favourable circumstance that this: corn was admitted so opportunely to out- relief; for, besides affording'a supply to tlie unem- ployed manufacturers, who purchased it with the contributions collected for them by the agricul- turists, it also prevented the anticipated famine, and reduced the average price ofwheat oio « t adventage- ouslyj aud, considerably below that at which it can be gro vvn ! . • < c Meatvwltile the alteration of the laws,'' which had been promise,' 3, was . deferred... da- y - after day. Wheat at length, reached the minimum of fifty- three shillirig- s, and then the right honourable secretary ( Mr. Canning) developed, his ivw measures. What these are the public are already apprized. That they " will satisfy the country time will show. That, they yvill satisfy the landowners and culti- vators o'f corn, we do u- ot believe; because the unavoidable effect of them, should they- be passed into a law,. must be" to render oats and barley exotic productions,: and keep wheat at a price generally under sixty shillings per quarter, if this measure be carried into effect, the red. tict ion of rent, . ou the part of the proprietor, cannot possibly save . the farmer from ruini It is impossible that. any.; reduc- tion. of rent can preserve the cultivator of compara- tively poor soils from niter extinction as an agriculturist. One- fourth of the land of Scotland must return to its pristine sterility;; great part of that of Ireland Wiil cease to yield any rent • whatever ; and not a little of . that of England must retrograde fo its original and barren common. The , bloM/ has been struck with as mortal an aim at the agricultural a6 it has been at the shipping and commercial interests; It might have been some consolation to the latter? it" the - government had introduced a clause restricting the importation of grain to British vessels.^ But even this paltry boon has not been conceded. The Prussian and the Dane will derive nio're benefit by this insidious measure than even the British ship- owner $ and the peasant of Pomerania will gain more by its pro- visions than the British mechanic. For twelve months the - average price of corn has not reached a price equivalent to the cost of its cultivation. With a, diminished crop, the grower has been selling his produce at a rate lowered by artificial. and illegal expedients. As his profits have been swept away— as the burthens which press upon him are increased — as his poor- rates are more oiierous-^- as the. calls upon his charity are more urgent— as the proprietor can scarcely assist him—- what resource remains but bankruptcy or expatriation ? Are we wrong in saying, therefore, that all the interests of the state are now reduced, or are on the eve of being reduced, to the same . impoverished and hopeless condition ?- " We place the picture we hav^' drawn in the view of the public, and we now ask the candid and intelligent reader whether we can be charged with having over- coloured it? We appeal toi history — we appeal to - facts recent and incontrovertible— whether we have misrepresented the circumstances, or magnified the afflicting condition of the country ? But we have yet only adverted to our internal situation, as regards agriculture, commerce, arid manufact- uresLet us take a glimpse at our foreign relations. Disguise, it as we may, we are already so much involved in the disturbances of the Penin- sula, that we have no alternative but a declaration I of war against" Spain, or a speedy and dishonourable relinquishment of the crusade In which we have embarked. The whole of Catholic Europe is deeply interested in. the result of the contest.— AVe cannot continue much longer mere spectators of the con- flict: we must, sooner or later, engage iti it; and then, will it be with the . Portuguese insurgents?-— will it be with the Spaniards ?— will it not be with France? " But no matter with v/ bom— letit not be for- gotten, that while, we are in this dilemma— while all the interests of the country are distracted— while we are daily becoming more impoverished—- while we are passing an act to make a certain portion of our labouring population dependant on the foreigner for his bread— oil a foreigner who may, when he pleases, stop that supply, and who will avail himself of the first exigency fo starve ns info. such terms as he may think proper to impose— while we are thus crusading abroad, and deracinating the constitution at home, let it not be forgoffen that we have a national debt of upwards cf eight hundred millions, and an expenditure which this • year' exceeds the revenue hy. no less than four millions and ct hrtff! And how is this deficiency to be provided ?— how is this debt to be paid ?--— how are so many conflicting interests to be reconciled?-— how; is justice to be done to the unoffending parties whom our ex peri mental measures have beggared?— how are we to' depart from the conditions of the treaties by. which we are bound ? These are all . important questions; but how can they be answered ? Shall . we point, to a divided cabinet,. or to those of his Majesty's; ministers in whom the'-- country has no confidence? . Is it not. a most anomalous and lames? table fact, that ihe party'conflicts arid'jarrings in Parliament are maintained with most asperity by members of the administration ? There is no union, no adhesion, sio consistency, ho affinity of hearts, or feelings, of principles among them. " But is the nation to be sacrificed? Is there no remedy for delusion but its own excesses? These are the questions which the country will shortly decide for itself, " . We war not with men, but with principles, when we say, that, in our opinion, the eminent individuals who hold the situations of Secretary for Foreigu Affairs ( Mr. Canning), Chancellor of the Exchequer (,\ 3r. Robinson), and President, of the Board of Trade ( Mr. Huski. sson), are unqualified to direct the political, financial, and commercial rela- tions of this country. We adduce, their incompe tency from the uniform and complete failure of all their plans, and from this notorious and alarming fact, that after twelve years of peace, with th? profits of labour considerably reduced, with every man's emoluments curtailed, with the ratesof wages unprecedentediy low, and the prices of all the necessaries of life proportionally depressed, that, with all these facts staring us in the face, the national burthens are not only undiminished, but are at this moment more crushing and oppressive than when our incomes were larger and our re- sources more numerous /" On the King receiving the intimation of Lorrl Eldon's intention of resigning the Great Seal, his Majesty determined on presenting his Lordship with a splendid token of his regard for his past services, previously io his actual resignation of his: high ofr. ee. His Lordship was sent for by the King on. Sunday week, and after remaining vyith his . Majesty about an hour, - was most, graciously pre sented with a mtygoificeut siiver.. gi] t cup and ooye'-„ — The principal . subject round- the cup is the Tr ium'ph ot Bacchus and Ariadne, from the bor - hese vase ut Rome'. There is a very rich foliage of the moist exquisite workmanship at the bottom; and at the top of the cup is the coronation medal, with tlie bust ofthe Kins*, which is guarded by a lion, in the attitude of walking, and which forms the handle. Underneath the cover was the inscription : — '• The. gift of his M ijestv King George IV. lo Ire highly valued friend, John Earl of E'ldon, Lord High' Chancellor of . England, upon his - retiring' from hir. official duties in the year 1827." Now that, the Lord Chancellor has actually retired from office, we must' do him the justice to observe, that he was one, of the very few persons in authority who had the » oo'd feeling and honestv to denounce, the system ol Joint- Stock frauds in its very coet. mencemeiit. It should never be forgotten that'W warned the p- iblie against those nefarious things his place in Ihe llouse of Lords, when the crai'lV contrivers of them were. com'ing in crowds to obtain Acts of Parliament, wlric'v they intended to use as nets to sweep away the property of. the public, it, is certain that, at that time, shoals of iniquitous Bitls would have passed for the purpose of swindling t. too public under the form of law, if fhe Learned Lord had not detected and exposed it few of the more prominent ones, and made it imperative that every Bill to legalise a Joint- Stock Gdrry.-' any should contam a clause rendering the property of ail the parties' concerned liable for fhe whole or'the dsbtsiucurreci. This would have been so: ne. protection to the creditors, for there were few- of these things into' which some, foolish persons with property were trot inveigled by the needy adventurers who project pit them, and yet il was only just that they who, by their folly or avarice, were induce'rf to give thd countenance of their names to' schemes by which, the public were duped, should pay for the mischief' which they occasioned. It is worth observing too; that some of those Newspaper* that are the most violent and coarse in their, detraction Of Lord Eldon^ were the most, active auxiliaries o'f the bubble- blowers, who found the way to get tlieir impudent and lying paragraphs into the press iu furtherance of their frauds, when his I., ordship had their vile Hills thrust out of Parliament. If is not wonderful, then, that his name should never be mentioned but with implacable hatred in such quarters'. It is true' hat his voice, aided as it was by that portion of the press which remained honest amid the wide- spread corruption of the tines, could not dispel the in- fatuation with which society Was then possessed,/' but it certainly gave a check to the evil, and prevented its consequences from being more ruinous than they were. Had some of his colleagues shown an equal regard for the public morals, at that crisis, in the other House of Parliament, intfc'i of the distress which has fallen on the country would have been averted, and thousands of families who have been stripped of their property, and numbers of widows and orphans who have been driven from a deccnt competence into the workhouse, would now be iu possession of comfort and independence. The conduct of John Lord Eldon 011 such an occasion will bo remembered to his honour, when history records thv transactions of that period.—. IJornina' Herald. ADOAKCAT?. MEBTIJIG or THE CAI- HOMCS or I* FLAN" i>-— Tuesday, an Aggregate Meeting of the Catholics of Ireland was held in Clarendon- street Chapel, Dublin; at which it was determined not to propose the adoption of a petition to Parliament for Emancipation at present, not because the Catholics did not wish their question t > be taken into imme diate consideration, but because they did not wish to give their inim'e. s the satisfaction lo say, that they treated Iheir friends, is WHOM TH'?* » : N- TtaF.

Sir Francis Burdett has put his opinion of Mr. Canning's public character upon record in an acknowledged letter to his constituents, and for very cogent reasons bas also put upon record a declaration that the letter only referred to Mr. Canning's public character.— Mr. Hobhouse has also favoured his constituents with Ai* ideas upon Mr. Canning ; and iu addition to these an anonymous letter, of which every body ( not excepting, as we should think, Mr. Canning himself) knows the author, has stamped the estimation in which the right hon. gentleman is held by the radical interest, so unequivocally, that we should suppose, even iu this age of inconsistency and insincerity, such an unnatural, and we will add, debasing coalition, can not have been formed. An Address to Mr. Peel is contemplated from the neighbourhood of Tamworth, expressive of their high sense of his conduct as a Statesman, and t. ieir admiration of that strict " political integrity" which has induced him to resign Ihe situation in which he has rendered such important services to- his country.

The Court, after a lengthy discussion, decided that the rate must be amended, but held thai the basins in Lower Mitton, upon which the main question arose, being for tha general be. nefif of the trade of the Canal, must be' considered as part of the Canal, and the acreage computed according to the proportion the acreage ofthe Basins add that part of the Canal which is iu Lower Mitton bears to the rest of the Canal.

Sturges Bonnie, who had accepted tin* office of Secretary of State for ilie Hume Department, Mr. PEEL rose, and SWILL—" It is now ubout three w.- eks since I viitually resigned the seals of the office of Secretary of State for the Home Department During that interval, my silence may have subjected toe to doubtful and even mischievous const! notions., but J; have waited patiently till this moineiit, supported by the consciousness of having acted solely upon public grounds, and of haying only taken that course which was consistent with my duty, and with what was. due to my Own character. The explanation a^ hieh I wish lo offer is due not only to myself, Individually, but to the character uf the plan's to which I belong — 1 mean llie class of public men; and during the delay that has taken place, I have been supported by Ihe ho'pc, that fit this moment,. and in this place, tin opportunity would be afforded me; and I fell the Strongest confidence, that ihe House would allow mc to take the advantage uf, tIris, opportunity to. mak. e it. Under the delay which has taken place, V hnve been supported, by, the hope, too, that I should beable. toyimlj^ ate myself from the Unfavourably constructions that; might have been . put' upon illy conduct iu consequence of my silence, and to shew that the course which * had pursued was that whicb Ihe necessity of my situation absolutely required. If, sir, 1 had acted in consequence of levity, of dis- appointed ambition, of personal pique, or opposition towards a rival, I should feel ihat 1 was, though not constitutionally, yet morally,, responsible; aud that I should have shown by such conduct f w as unworthy of tie confidence with which my. Sovereign had bono, nred me. But-, sir, 1 acted from none of those motives ;. ihey did not form the grounds on which ] retired from the public service. 1 acted poUdy upon principles which I had frequently . professed, and which I considered to fonn part of my public character ( cheers j. For a ! space of 18 years I have pursued One nndeviating course of conduct, offeiing, during the whole of that time, an uncompromising, but a temperate, a fair, and, as 1 beijeve, a constitutional resistance to the making of any further concessions to the. Roman Catholics. Bur-; mg 14 out of t) iose 18 years, I have held office, and! iluhiig 11 of those years I have been closely connected1 ni office with ihat country most interested in the elect. j sion of those, claims. Hie opinions which I lield| during that time 1 still retain ; and I . tliougli),: from! having aiwiifys avowed those opinions, but above all, i from having,, while in office, taken ah active, and 1; way, perhaps, * ay, important part agai. nst tlie claims df the* Catholics, thai I could not remain in office after events had rendered it probable that I should lie the • ingle minister of the crown who was likely to continue opposed to the ill. I say, sir, under these circumstances, I' did not feel that it would be consistent with the career I bad hitherto pursued, and with the mainte- nance of ni) own character as a public man, to aquif. sve in arrangements which would benefit myself by enabling me to retain office, which, however, 1 coil I'd not ilo without acting in a manlier calculated materially to promote the successful termination of a question to which, under those circumstances, and iu other aspects of political affairs, 1 had offered the most decided resistanre ( loud cheering)., Under these circumstances, and with respect to Ihe nature of, the opposition which 1 had always offered to the proposed concessions to. the Roman Catholics, I felt myself bound to act as I. have done. ' Sir, Ihe nature of ihat opposition was such, as to allow of no middle course; it was founded upon the belief, which 1 have alvvajs sincerely entertained, that the removal of Ihose harriers, which the law opposed to the attainment of political power by tlie Roman Catlio- lies> was inconsistent with the maintenance of the . constitution, and with the welfare and safety of'the church. These being the grounds on which 1 have always spoken and acted, 1 say- j sir, ihat I am now in the judgment of the House and of the country, whether I hud not sufficient reason to decline acquiescing in / arrangements which were calculated twost decidedly to promote that object lo which I had always been op- posed. The . circumstances to which I have referred, 1 . considered seriously, and having done so, 1 made hp my mind to retire from office, if my right lion, friend ( Mr. Canning), w hose opinions on this subject were so decidedly opposed to my own, should be placed at the bead of ihe administration, where lie could wiih more effect than ever support these opinions. If the admi- nistration could | iave continued exactly neutral Upon this question 1 might have continued in office; but . when I saw that exact neutrality could not be expected — when I found that the Duke of York was no more, nnd thai the voice of the Earl of Liverpool had become silent, I thought I ought to act upon the conviction of • my own mind, and not subject myself to suspicions by seeming to hate been converted to opposite opinions, especially w hen the period of that juppnienl conversion would have concurred precisely with that of the change of administration" ( loud cheering J. The Right Hon. Gent, then proceeded to state thai the ' appointment of Mr. Canning to be at the head of the administration, must almost necessarily tend tc bring along with it the final success of ihe Catholic Question. The change consequent upon his appoint- ment vyu$ such, that there could not, be any thing | esi than a complete transfer of all the influence juid powe w hif h belo ii g to i he P ri ine M i li iste r, from t he oj> poij e nt * to the advocates uf concessions to the Catholics ; and this power and influence would be wielded by th inbst powerful advocate. The right hon gent, here entered into a detail of the various struggles that had taken place Oil the Calholic Question, and shewed Ilia as Mr. Canning had, uiideviatingly, from the, year Tsj?!, and previously, been uniformly endeavouring to pVoiiioie Catholic Emancipation, and giving him credit for the honesty, sincerity, and zeal of his inietftious, he eonl.' now, as Prime Minister., do no other than prohiote, h every fair means, if not, the immediate', at least ultimate success of the Catholic Questiuu. He ( Mr, Feel) could hot therefore act with liim. Again referring to his secession from office, Mr. PEEL said —" The. SQth of March was the first occasion on which the subject was introduced, and I then said to my right hon. friend ( Mr. Canning), ' I will tell you without reserve what my feelings are as to iny particu- lar situation : they dictate to nie ret ire men i'f ruin office, if his Majesty should select you to form aii ' adminis- tration. 1 That . information I also took care to convey fo the highest quarter* for here again 1 thought there should be no reserve. My resolution " was n « ' t sudden-- I acted upon long previous conviction. 1 declared to iny right hon. friend, that Ihe Catholic ( Question, and my position with respect lo il, in the'particular office 1 held, constituted my only objection to euibai'k wilder ; his pilotage ; but differing from him u. po'ii a question' of such importance, I felt it was impossible for me to continue in ufpee with him. Such having, been my intention, the House has now heard the manner in which I earried it into effect. I before mentioned that I declared my intention without communication with others. As. J acted without the concert, it is iinneces- for nic to add that I did not resort to the advice of olhers. Bul though 1 acted without concept with others, let me repel the painful accusation preferred against me, that 1 look upon my late coadjutors now ih a different light to that in which I formerly contem- plated them. The esteem, respect, and admiration I fell for them, as my colleagues in office, I still retain lo its fullest extent, and I am far from wishing that my case should be separated from theirs. It is equally true, to . state thai I am at this nionieiit prepared, if necesttWr, j% to vindicate thein from the charge of concert nnd cabal ( much cheering J. I am prepared to vindicate them collectively aud individually, and to maintain that the course ptmued by each of them was not only per, fectly justifiable, but that their iiripi ess ions and views of duty to lhe public service, aiid the conduct produced by those impressions and views, ought lo lie held op as an example lo all who may be placed hereafter in similar circumstance? ( cheers J, 1 declare then, that ihe charge against these Ministers, or any of them, that they acted by concert and cabal, is not only untrue, but directly tiie reverse of ihe truth { cheers)/ If. there be any oppearunee of concert in the steps they have taken, it is ' because, in point of fact, there was no con- cert at all — thai.. i li ei i; course v% as accidentally coinci- dent ; and 1 must say, ihat if they had been base euoogli to cabal against tlieir sovereign, they would probably have been cunning enough to a void: a disco- very ( htarJ.

But 1 never communicated, for instance, with the Lord Chancellor. I never opened my lips until' the 9th, of April, w hen lhf order was given for the lonnation of a new administration; and I licv- er knew the, course, he meant to pursue; and, upon my honour, 1 believe that the same may be said of every member of the late gorernmeut who thought it right to retire ( hear, hear!).

DLNCOMEK ( Memiier for Yorkshire) 1 said, he believed, it to be the opinion of the great majority of the . country ' at large, thai the secession of Mr. Peel was to he d'replv alio iuost sincerely regretted,; and he was sure that he wanted no jiistifica'tion for the honest and manly course he had adopted. His masterly address had, however, fully maintained,, in all respects,- the high character llie right hdti. gent, enjoyed from one end of lhe kingdom lo the other, as a'n eloquent,- honest, and consoieuhons minister of the crown, a valu- able and faithful representative of the people,. a zeaions and active .• promoter of all that was useful and benefi- cial.— and as a watchful and uncompromising guardian uf the principles of the British Constitution. l; u the iVitl enjoyment of the confidence and love of the country, lie had retired froni ( lie situation lie had so long and so ably filled, b'nt lie must take the liberty of expressing Iris earnest hop<* ih'iVt the retirement would be, short, and his return permanent. .. Sir F. BUKDRTT said, the right hon. gent. ( Mr. Peel) had given as a reason for withdrawing liiuiself ( rum the service . of the slate, his peculiar opinions in regard to tli. e Catholic claims. Now the ground which lie ( Sir I'\ Burdett) and his, friends thought it incum- bent on ilieni tO snpporl the present administration was, the hope of advaneiiig tli'at principle which in- duced the ri^ ht lion", gent, to withdraw. He considered the admission of the principle of religious liberty, including Catholic'Eiiia'ucipiitioii, a sine qua hon, to ihe . support which he might'give an adnii'nistratidii, and hp could not but rejoice that tbe recent ch'dh^ e's proniised to remove the greatest obstacles to the! improvement of the age. Sir T. LEXHBEti)@ E said, he regretted, for many reasoiis, the secession' of 1^' lr. Peel, and yet, in suliie respects, he was glad of it, as it would lead the country| to a real and just view f> f tile great and leading public principle upon which the present adniinislralidii was! made up. Tlie change had at least produced this good; effect, that it did show the plain s^ iltlic principle orii wliich the administration was resolved to act ; an'd it: wiiultl be for the; people of this country to decide whe- ther they would support such . an admiuistration. There; were now two clear disthictio. ns formed in point of prin- i ci|) ler nnd the nation hiust he decidedly divided iii to1 tlioie who supported and those who opposed the conces- sions claimed by fhe Catholics. He would now call] upon the First Lord of the Treasury ( Mr. Canning) to peak out plaiiily on the subject ; and lie hoped that, as lea d of continuing to temporize and to pnre down principle, that right hon. gent, would bring the System to a final issue. M « . DAW^ SON observed, that he was quite convinced thai in the whole of this business the geullenien who had formerly sat on ( lie opposition benches, and had now ' ined the new ministry.,, had only done so from a wish fo occupy the ministerial station aiid . authority. He imself did hot regret that he had quiired the service of lie crown, since Tie had done So " for. the reasons which ad been so ably arid eloquently staled by the right Oil. gent, the late Secretary of " Slate for the Hdihe De- partment, and who had most honourably preferred the support of his principles. to the detaining of the high , sit. uatjon which he had held.. The hun. hart. ( Sir F. Buidett) had expressed his hope that the Catholic question would be carried, by means uf the present ca biiiet; and 11 was bis duly, entertaining ihe opinions which lie professed, and of those who along with hi held these opinions, to insist ' that the cabinet should propose the granting of the Catholic claims as a govern- ment measure, otherwise the lion, hart! and his friends would he parties lo the basest coalition that ever wa's formed ; they would be parties to one of the basest coalitions that this cowntiy had ever witnessed ; mid would exhibit the grossest abandonment of principle. Alniosf 1 lie w hole ofthe press bad„. byt a kind of fatality, siijiported the First Lord of ihe Treasury iu the whole of ihis business. The press was corrupted to the very heiiri's core, and hardly a jioitioii of it had given ex- pression to the real opinions of ibe public. Tie would here state sonie particulais which he bad heard in dif- ferent places. lie had been informed that il wias de- signed in the highest quarter that the administration should he essentially Protestant. This was said to be the basis of the administration which was to be formed ; hut the present administiation was not formed . on'any such basis. The Catholics of Ireland would expect that, with such a cabinet, tlieir claims must be granted ; and if sueli hopes should be excited among the Irish ' Catholics, wIVal must he the effect on the Irish Protes- tants? The cabinet Was almost entirely Catholic; and what would the Protestants of Ireland say, when they heard ilia I ihe whole of their interests were intrusted lo Lords Bexle'y and Lyndhurst ? He requested leave to state to the House a circumstance, of which he Was as- sured on good authority; and that was, that the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, and, the Bishop of London had represented to the prelates assembled at Lambeth, thai his present Msijesty was as, much opposed to'the Catholic claims as his father had been,' and had in 1806 desired Mi1. Fox not to trouble his father on lliaf poiiit. The house, on this point, had a right lo demand soine ex- planation from the right hon. - geiit. at ihe hea< l of Hie Treasury, before they vvere required to give tlieir sup- port to any set of men (: alling themselves his Majesty's ministers. The Archbishop of Canterbury had declared, ad ' captdnduin, that the coronation oath stood in the. way of any concession to the Catholics, on the pari of a certain distinguished Personage. Now, if thai was the case, and the ministers knew that such'was the opinion of their Royal Master, the right lion. gent. ( Mr. Can- ning) was called upon fo give " some explanation to the House, not only respecting the stipulation un which he had accepted uffice, hut as to. his own intentions with regard to that great question, before the House could, feel in a condition lo support him. As to himself ( Mr. Dawson), il was a matter of little, consequence whether he/ supported ihe gqvernuient. or. riot. The junction of the Whigs, if it had any effect on him, would only lend to make him nmre decisive in his opposition. But, he mainiained, the House Ought not lo' be' salisfied with such explaiialions as might arise incidentally in tiie debates that were likely lo take place. They should ask, at once, fairly and openly, what was lo he'ihe publicv expectation willi respect to this ' measure ? lie observed, thai if the Roman Catholics of Ireland should be deluded by j he prospect held out to tliein by those now in power, and any criminal excesses should follow, be Would hold lhe present government and the ministers of the crown responsible, and illem alone responsible, for every calamity'that might overtake that country, and he thereby entailed upon this ( hear, hear, hear J. He would once more repeat, before he sal doVrn, that an explanation was necessary, and he trusted, it would be ample and explicit. Mr. BROUGHAM, after hearing the speech of the hon. baronet ( the member for Somerset), and that of the right lion, late Under Secretary for the Home Depart Hie ill ( Mr. Dawson), said, he should feel guilty of a positive dereliction of duly if he' did' no' reply to their observations. The right lion, gent, had alluded parti en lair! v to him, and could see no earthly motive for the new situation in which he aiid his friends had placed themselves-, but ihat of a desire to share the honours aiul the emoluments of office. He did not believe that the imputations cast upou liis hon. friends were merited in any single case; but to himself these imputations could have uo application w hatever. Office was much more inevitably removed from him, and placed out of his contemplation much further than out of the con- templation of the right lion, gent, himself. But he supported* the aduiinisTrafioii of the right hou. gent, in tiie hope that if would eyeiitua'llj lead to the removal of the great difficulties which beset ihe most important question of domestic policy. The right hon. gent, called this a monstrous and unnatural coalition— a junction of men opposed to each other in principle, at variance upon all fhe detail of affairs, and all the lead- ing principles Of national policy. How, lie would ask, had ibis extreme difference of opinioh been manifested ? Look overall the great questions of foreign or domestic policy, whether in relation to the governments of Europe, or whether, piercing across the Atlantic^ they beheld together the dawn of new- born liberty ; whether they vyere connected vvith the freedom of trade, or the fair and reasonable protection of agriculture— where was the disagreement to be seen w Inch rendered iheir, present support of the right lion. gent, so monstrous? Upon tlie agricultural question lie had voted with ihe right boiii gent, now First Lord of the Treasury, although the right hon: Under Secretary then stU by his side. He would ask that right hon. gent, to point oiit a single practical question for the last three or four years, in which government did not find in his voice a support— in his feelings a faithful echo. He was grate- ful for the eminent services ihe right hon. gent. ( Mr. Peel) had rendered to fhe country, aud he, for one, felt ihat it was not one of the least of the evils of the Catholic question not yet being carried, that it de- prived the country of these services. And now one word upon that question— they had been charged with base conduct, vvith aii unnatural coalition.- Now there could be no baseness if there was no fraud upon the parlies,; and for his own part he declared; that he did not look to the Catholic question being made a cabinet measure. He expected no more than a gradual ad- vance to that question, and great immediate advantage to ihe peace and prosperity of Ireland. The object of Catholic emancipation was one lo be pursued firmly but cautiously. He counselled ihe Catholics not to urge, their claii'iis at the present nioinViit ( loud laughter and cheers) — to please their bitterest enemies. Speaking merely as a by. sl'auder, he would say, that he had no idea thai the claims of lhe Catholics were all at once to lie made a cabinet question/. The presence uf- Lord Bex ley and of the Lord Chancellor irt the cabinet was surely a sufficient pledge that no such thing was lended. Tlie hon. and learned gent, after proceeding in the same' strain at some length, observed, that as . it was consistency to talk of sacrifices, he might, per- haps, be permitted to speak of his. In withdrawing fVom the oilier Side of the House, he hod ieft a STtuation in which lie had been snrrouiided, aiid, perhaps, lie might say, in* some degree followed, by a distinguished body of men, who constituted, if not the m'ofet powerful, he woaldi venture to say the most disinterested opposi- tion which had e£ er sat in that ffonse. He had quitted that side of the House under an arrangement, wliich utterly precludes the possibility of his becoming a servanf fo i'li'e crown. He had determined to support flie present government io tliese circnmstauces,. and solely from anxiety to ptomot'e those improvements of various kinds- which such an adminisfration promised to the country, and the settlement of the i- r'fsh question among them." He had promoted tlie coalition entirely with this object, and as he kueVv that his being open to accept office would have been an obstacle to the arrangement, he had announced his determination to remain entirely unconnected with the administration ( hear, hear). The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ( Mr. Canning) rose next', ' aiid said, My right lion, friend ( Mr. Peel) has, in one or f< vo insthtie'es, a'| ipealed lo my testimony- for- life' confirmation'of sdiiie parts ( if the Hai'rative of his own conduct. I confirm them in the fullest degree; Throughout all ' the dis'eusiioiis that I Have had since parliament was last assembled, with my right lion, friend, in all our constant and confidential intercourse',: I havealwavs found him in every point the same. hsis alyvays used the same expressiou- of seutiitienis, and " shown the saiiie exhibition of principle, that he claimed for liiniself in li i s address this evening. The House will have very jmldh liiistaken lily condition, if they beli(\ ve it ( iiie of exultation or pleasure, or even if they suppose it productive of feelings of complete satisfaction. From the beginning of these discussions, I foresaw— we both; foresaw— that they must terniiiva> te in a separation- would to God it may be but for a tithe!:— between my right hon. friend and myself. I declare most solemnly, that if the question, whether that separation should he effected by his retirement from office or, mine, had been; left in niy hands, I would have decided it in the latter, alteriiative. I beg to rissUre the right lion. gent, and: the house, tliat I vVas hot unaware of the peculiar diffi-| ciilty attendant on tile foriiiatibli of a nevv adiiiihistra- i tiou", from the state of the Catholic question ; for i did; counsel his Majesty, when be did me t'he lio'noVir lo ad-; vise w ith nie, fo make a government in every respect; Opposed to my own opinions. To carry that eonlisel; into effect, would have, of course, involved the necessity: of my reiireuient froin office; but I can declare most; conscientiously, that I would have laid at ihe feet of my Sovereign the situation I liave the honour to hold, with a more cheeiful heart, and with an assurance of a quicker termination of the difficulties to which I have alluded, than 1 have since been disposed to entertain rn the subsequent part of these transactions. It ' was not for to offer advice to my Sovereign as to the mode by which he was to accomplish the formation of a'Ca- binet opposed to my own opinions ; but the fact is tuost truly as I have slated it; I did propose to withdraw nijself altogether from the administration, and I advised tlie King to form a new aduiintstra'lion, according to- the principle I have mentioned. Now, why did I do this ? Nbt many hio'uths ago, his Majesty received a letter from a source to which I cannot nor w ill not allude, most strenuously advising his Majesty to place the -. government of the country in a state - of"' uniformity, and that uniformity to be an uniform apd decided opposition to, the Catholic claims. Lord Liverpool, to wlurm a letter of the same description was addressed, at the; same time as that of w hich I have spoken as beingsent to his Tilajesty, upon receiving a communication uponi the subject from the King, addressed to that exalted personage a letter, in which he said, thai, for his part, having been the author, and it might be said the first originator Of'a governinent formed upon the principle of entertaining divided opihidns wiih respect to the Catholic claims, lie, for one, never c'o'uid coirsent to be- come a member of any government modelled upon lthe: principle of exclusion ( hear, hear J ; and liis lordship added, that as he was called upon to- give hisudvi^ e to his Majesty, lie must say, that iu his opinion, it would - be extremely difficult to accomplish such a formatioi| ( hear, hear, hear). I, however, could uot ilisguise- it fcbin myself, as I'lVfid felt it tny duty not to ( lisgui: se,' it froin niy Sovereign^ that although the'formation of such a ministry was a work of very great difficulty, it was not a task of absolute impractitHibility ( hear, hear). Now, for what reason that advice was- not aicied Upon ;; by whose advice or by what counseiitwas'< leterniined'lo abandon that course, I do not know— and more than I know I will not say — hut from the time when I first saw; the King, and gave the, advice 1 have described, ddwn' to The period w- lren his JVlajesty came to town, I had no knowledge, of any certainty, thai tlie advice 1- gave had not been adopted. So far, therefore, from seeking or soliciting, as the hon. gent, charges'nie, the post which: I have now the honour to'hold, 1 Withdrew iiiyself alto-; ether from any participation in the arrangements,,' in Order tluit the experiment which was said to he so loudly called for by the country might be fairly iried. i But when it was distinctly stated to nie that sueli an administration could not be formed, and when I re- ceived his Majesty's commands to model a• government: on tlie saiiie principfes as that of Lord Liverpool, of which I had iieCn a member, nothing, 1 conceited, could possibly remain but lo ' construct a government of the divided character to wliich l havealluded, upon ihe subject of Cafholic enlancipation, wilh the necessary consequence, that the question of the removal of Catho- lic disabilities should not he made a meastne of the Cabinet. But, theu, with the proposal to form a odvernme'nt upon that principle— upon'the very jtr- itipi-' pie of my predecessor, came a new question— a- qu'e'strotr which at once involved the point of whether I was to remain in the situatinii to which I had been raised, disgraced in ' my ow n opinion, and discredited in the eye of my country, or whether I was to receive from the hands of niy soyereign, undiminished and uiWn- c u in be r ed, t Ira I i li h e r i t a li ee v « h ic h a d readf uT niisfoitune, for dreadful I may. indeed call it, had cast upon his disposal. Now what was it I proposed ? What vSak it I had in command to do in the. reconslTuction of ' five government? To form a ministry tipon the principles of Lord Liverpool** administration. That the govern- ment should even consist of Ihe very same individual^, strange coincidence, withdrew themselves. There was, too, oue Catholic Lord ( Lord Melville)[ o laugh] among the number of those who llius resigned ; and yet, we are now told, these resignations grew out of the ques- tion of Catholic emancipation ( hear, hear). About the middle' of Thursday— I believe it was on a Thursday when the House adjourned— about two hours before the meeting of The House, and after I had given directions to move a new writ for my return, I sfeiit to the King a communicrftron to the following effect:—"' Herewith 1 inclose that Which disables ine to execute the com- mands Witli which I have been honoured upon the subject of the formation of the Cabinet. It is now as open to your Majesty to take any new course you may cOlvsjider expedient to the immediate execution of yoiir swishes,^ as if I had not received' the commission with which I have been intrusted — no Siep having been* yet taken w hich can lie at all considered irrevocable ; but 1 think it becomes my duty to state openly and fairly to your Majesty, that it Will be impossible for me to go on in the course you have prescribed, if my writ is not moved for before the adjournment during the holidays." I cannot repeat his Majesty's answer, hut it is sufficient to say thai his Majesty gave me permission to foriri an administration, and commanded tiiose' things which by my liand have been brought to pass ( Irettr, hear): This then, sir, is ihe situation of the present administra- tion, and these are the means Which have been adopted in its formation ( hear, hetir). I have meddled not Willi the conduct or the motives of others. I' appreciate ill the fullest degree the delicate forbearance of the right hon. gent, when lie felt bound to allude to lite motives of others* and 1 feel Bound to imitate that forbearaneei What the motives of others were, therefore, I repeat, I cannot say. The results came as I have stated. These results have fo me been most painful. I say painful ; and the more so, as 1 may say the feeling of opposition which they exhibit, was to me, in every instance- always excepting that single question I have men- tioned— wholly unexpected. I really am iu ignorance ofthe cause of that opposition. I do not know how I have sinned against my late colleagues. I have never knowingly excited any feelings of hostility, iji the Jireast of any single individual of those who formed the late cabinet. Between my right hon. friend ( Mr. P.) and myself on every question, public or foreign, ou every private arrangement— on every point of domestic maiingement, wilh, I repeat, one well- known and unhappy exception, there was al all times the strictest Uniformity' of opinion. There were, however, one two topics adverted to by the right hon. gent. ( Mr, Peel)", upon which he mUst permit me tO'fcay a few words, and upon which i think he has proceeded rather upon a mistake,- than from any intentional mis representation. The right hon. geiit. when he ad dressed the house, said, how was it possible not lo perceive, that without doing any thing active in the cause of the Cat holies, without movingeven a finger in their support, my mere existence in my present po « i tio » v And the absence of those others— for whose absence,- be it recollected, I am not responsible— must he taken as a mora'! promotion of that question upon which we haVe been hitherto divided. Sir, I cannot possibly deny the truth cf that observation ( cries of hear)'. It is literally true ; and'auy one who will take the trouble to put- that question and that answer together, must find in the answer a reply to the taunts of the boil, member for Somerset ( Sir T. Letbbridge), when speaking of the support wliieii the Op posit ioi have declared - their intention to bestow upon the present administration. That Opposition have declared their intention to support Ine, And why ? Because they, see the very same thing about to eome to pass as the right lion', geiit.— that without Stirring, as I have said, a single Step in the advocacy of life cause the have espoused, thy nier'e existence, ft here ! am, is a unqife^ tiouable advance of tlieir object ( hear, Hear). s If jt . be so, as it is, I cannot help it. 1 am ready to; anticipate the advantaged which it confers-. But'siifely, the r^ lit lion, gentleman ( Mr. Peel) is nut prepared lot cdUteud that a reason which has been good for him is' bad for them ( hear). Surely fie is hot* disposed foj contend, that if he was justified in resigning his situa- tion been Use he thought the Catholic cause, which he1; opposes, received an impulse by my advance, others are; not equally justified in saying they will support me,| tiecause the question which they support has received: that impulse. If, therefore, the Catholic cause receives a support, not by any of my endeavours, but merely froin the effect of an impulse created by nrv'situation, surely l caunol help the consequences; and I caU Only say, in reply to the taunts of the hou. gent. ( Sir T. Lethbridge), upou ihe subject of the support of the opposition, that I trust they will upon those subjects afford me the support v » hich I may be found to deserve, tempered only by that degree of difference which may be found to exist between us ( hear, hear). The footing UpO'h Av hi'cli the government now stands is this— that each member of the administration is at liberty to exercise his judgment in supporting or opposing the Catholic claims; hut if any • member of the cabinet or the government thinks proper to bring forward auy proposition to carry into effect his particu- lar views, he must do so individually, and state, at the Same time, in his place in Parliament, that he does so i'n Ms individual capacity. I have thought, that as ihe ( juesti'on lots' stood fur the fifteen years since 181- 2, so it bug- lit lo sicifid ifow. I am satisfied that it should stand so. I never thought that it con Id iiave been objected to. Looking at the state of meuYminds upon the sub-; jeet— a stnte better alluded to than explained — I con- scientiously believe that it is the only footing upon which, at present, it can safely stand ( cheers)-', and if there be any who would seek to JOTSh forward ihe question beyond that point, and hope to accomplish their object, by a premature exertion of power on the one hand ; or if there be others ' who Would not hesitate to stifle all just and natural expression of feeling or Opinion, at the risk of a- natioual convulsion, I can only say that 1 am not of their number, and that I am not prepared for the consequences of a convulsion in either England or Ireland ( loud cheers). It is not for me to attempt to lay open lire penetralia, or • to'explain what i^ s passing in the privacy of the Royal breast. I r'eSpect that Iliustriuns Person's prejudices as miich as I vene- ' rhte tho » e motives which actuated his Royal Father; 1tut if I a in asked whelher I consider the coronation oath to be any obstacle to . the accomplishment of Catholic Emancipation, I » say no— no more than Lord • ; Liverpoolthou| yht it ( cheers)^ - no in ore-- tha- n it is thought to be an obstacle by the tight lion. gent, himself; and, if- fhis'was llie'time lo argue that point, I ' w oufd under- ^' ke to derive some of the best reasons for • what Ij /|) r<) pose, from what has been advanced iipon that sub- ject Let not those who oppose us say now, that hopes! are excited which must blast fhe peace of Ireland.; Does the lion. gent. w1io talked of silence upon that! subject, believe that such a thing " is possible ? The • question may sleep for a time, but it - is that sl'eep'from which it will awake with renovated strength to the accomplishment of its final triumph. '. Looking- at the question as it stands now, and judging accord ing fo the evidence which presses upon me, I cannot conceal from myself the fact, that'the question has gained a vast accession of force, although, God knows, that gain was not of my seeking. But it Was not gained in that manner which could induce the lo force it upon this house, when I see so large a portion of the community holding a contrary opinion ( hear, hear). 1 am where that was done was the result of cabal against their Sovereign, or intended as a disrespect to the Throne. He had not known of the resignations of others until after they were sent. He had not consulted Lord Eldon, or Iris other noble frietidSi nor had he been con- sulted by them ; and lie believed that each member of the late administration acted separately, conscientiously, and independently for himself. ( Cheers.) HOUSE OF LORDS- WEDNESDAY. The Earl of GROSVENOR presenfe. d iwo petitions from Ireland^ in favour of Catholic Emancipation ; aud ia doing so, look* an opportunity of ridiculing the lale coifv- ersions? to Protestantism in Ireland, by insinuating that it vias the effect, of money applied in purchasing such conversions, His Lordship, in conclusion, solemn- ly urged the necessity of the Catholics forbearing to presstheir claimant the present period. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, since the House had las! separated, ihe government of the country had been iilirely re- constituted, upon what principles', or whether pon any principles at all- lie could not lake upou imself to say ; but it must, at least, lie evident to all who looked for a moment at the Benches of thai House, that it was not constituted upon a principle of continu- ation. The Earl of EI.- DON then rose and said, lie had heen barged with having attempted to dictate to his Sove- eign : his answer was, that the charge was a, base and aluniuious falsehood. Perhaps a Noble Lord ( Gros- venor) was correct in saying, that capital in money and conversion iu religions matters would go together; though, certainly, that was not always the case. He had, however, lived long enough in the world to know, capital in money and conversion in political matters did sometimes go together ; and under such circumstances, he knew of no person better fitted to act as the head of the Government than the Noble Lord. ( Cheers, and laug4rt- et.) When the new administration was about to be formed, he was told it would be con- structed on the same principles as that of Lord Liver- pool ; but, knowing the views of Hie Prime Minister on the great question of Catholic Emancipation, lie could how it could be formed o « the same principles l am by uo seeking of ' mine. I proposed a course by f ani'sine I lind no objection. But what was proposed to me? That I, having his Majesty's commands to funi a g'overiiiiient upon the very'same principles as those of my lamented predecessor, should place at the head of thai governiiient- anolher person, holding upou the. subject of the Roman Catholic claims Lord^ Liver- pool's opi nions ( hear, hear, hear !). Now what was'it I was desired to sanction by the adoption ofthat course ? What principle is it I was called upon to admit ? Wliy, I Was desired plainly to say, Ihat 1, holding Ihe opinioiks I have repeatedly avowed myself to hold upon < lie Cafholic question, am thereby disqualified from being placed at the head of the ' government. I was called upon to acknowledge in fhe'face of the country that T, forming an administration Upon the principles of Lord Liverpool— that is, of divided Opinions upon five tbolic claims, was, from the very holding; of a diHereiit-- and divided opinion, disqualified from taking. liighest office in that government. I w: ill'. retire^ ii to- gether and for ever from public life; I will Intake myself to the farthest boundary of the earth, and into perpetual banishment ; 1 will resign any and every' hope of office— for I care nothing for office— but I w ill not disgrace myself by consenting to sanction^ principle which couid only bring degradation to those Who must become the subject of such an exclusion upon account of their opinions ( hear, hear /). 1 have been charged wilh a breach of faith in hoi making my Cabinet a mixture of half and half. But 1 could not do so, because the Protestant half, by a which I innst have'b'e^ n excluded altogether fromxVffice, fvud the principle 1 protested agJaiust- was'one to which I could not submit unless I was prepared, as 1 said before, lo compromise my character, by allowing that the opinions I hold on the subject- o'f'the .

When, in 1822, I was called from a situation of wealth and power and ambition, and when 1 made a sacrifice of the advantages which that situation conferred — no inconsiderable sacrifice, tet tne sav, for a poor'man— I accepted the office which was not only not of niy own seeking, hut which was against my iiiclinatiou— I accepted it, so help me God, wilhout any stipulation. And had the offer been accompanied, as it ought to have been ( had I been dealt honestfy by) by any iflpiilation— had it iie'en intimated to ine, that my' services'\ Vere to lie acdepted as long as'it might be considered convenient to receive them; but iliat if the office of Prime Minister,' to which I might he othervUse eligible* became vacant, my holding the Catholic • opinion' was ' to" be a bar ' jvnd'^- a iiisquaii'fi'cafion to my scceptanee of it— I would have- flung hack the oiler of office w; ith the same disdain which 1 - now profess, < afid with'which I would feel t'he acceptance of it,- tinder such circumstances, lo be a badge of my helotism. MR. PEEL ex'plained. He begged to assure his right lion, friend ( Mr. Canning) that he meant to bring no As to the accusation of concert and conspiracy, he solemnly declared, he knew not the intentions of his colleagues, nor did lie know of the resiguatio- us of some of them, until he saw ihem noticed in the newspapers. He had served his Majesty, and his Royal Father, faith- fully ; and he had been a public ser* ant for a long period, hunger perhaps: than he ought, and longer than he should have been, had he not been urged to continue in office. He felt strongly that the'ie was no censure! too harsh for the mart who would presume to dictate to His Majesty in the choice of his Minister, nor was any censure too strong for that adviser, who, when his Majesty consulted him, did not give his advice openly and honestly. Nothing should ever prevent him u*, iog his utmost efforts to preserve the Constitution as it had been delivered to our ancestors at the Revolution: what would be the effecU of allowing that Constitution to be aliened, may be seen in the events of the last four years. His opinion was that, if the Roman Catholic claims were granted, there would soon be an end to the religious liberties of this country; on that opinion h had acted, and would do so to his dying day.— The noble lord sat down amid un- mense cheering. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, he felt that he could not reveal any thing that had occurred in confidence be- tween his Majesty and himself, nor any thing that had occurred at his Majesty's Councils. There were, how- ever, some points to which he could refer. He had been most unjustly and calumniously treated : he had been charged \ yith crimes of the grossest nature, Hv- aj press that he believed to be under tiie influence of ibe present Government. ' His Grace then read Ihe cor- respondence that had passed between himself and Mr. Canning; from which lie totild hot but infer that'he fight hou. gent, had tio very earnest wish to keep him in the Administration. Feeling that lie differed from the new Prime Minister on the vital question of Catholie Emancipation, how could he support his . government ? It could lie no answer to this to say, that the Adminis- tration was founded upon the same principle as the last;. for it was not- so founded. Those who formed part of; Lord Liverpool's administration knew to what they - pledged'thenlselves; for his Lordship would have main,-! tained the'Constitotiouand present form of government; • I) ut those Who coalesced with the new Premier knew not; to what the coalition was^ o carry them ; for he was the' lnosfafe'le, active, and zealous partisan of those changes with which the Country was threatened — his principles fluctuated every day, und depended upon reasons of] temporary expedience. He .( the * Duke of Wellington)! had been charged with aspiring to the^ office of Prime! Minister: bnt h- e could safely assert, lie never enter-; tained such an idea. He. had been charged- with in- gratitude i u r esigu iu g hi s •< iffi ce as Com ma nd e r- i n - C h i e f •. but, grateful as he was for the assistance of the soldiers who had served with him, for the aid uf the Noble Lords by whoili'he was surrounded, and most of all for Iris Majesty's favours, yet, he lioped he had done liis King some service.; he felt that lie bad r- aised himself; and the office he had1 held wassocongenial to his feel- ings, that he thought he migjit claim beliefwhen he/ said, nothing but the strongest sense of duty to himself, Could'have i- n'd need hi in to resign that office. To the charge of concert, cabal, u- nd . conspiracy, he should only' say, come from w hat- quarter it might, it- was a foul and calumnious falsehood.— His Grace was enthusiastically cheered in the course, and at the close, of this address. Lord ' BEXLKY bore . testimony to ihe conduct of the Noble Duke ( Wellington) ; and as to himself, he had at first resigned, fearing the ^ administration'wvas uot to be formed as that of Lord Liverpool had been ; but it appearing lo him that he had beeu mistake, n, Jie had vei raced'his steps. The Eail of MAWSPMD bore • lestiinouy- to the high sense Which tlie country entertained, of the pre- eminent services of the Noble Duke aud of the colleagues who had relived with liini ; - and he regretted that, instead of retiring, they had noUapfiealed tO* heir adherents in the country, and in that House ; for he was sure, if they had, sueh a representation would have been made to his Majesty, as would ' have obtained for the country an Adminis 1 ration - jui which Prolestant ipiinciples should have, predominated. He had iheavd 1 that the present " First Lord of the Treasury ( Mr. Canning) dia( Lsaid lie had recommended theformation- of a ' purely Protestant administraiion : if so, he wouldonly have recommended such a measure for the same- purpose that a person set up nine- pins— in the hope ' that he should be able to knock ihem down again. Would George the Third have set up such an administrfttiousas ' was , now « set up ? some of whom, like \\\ e. doubles of a Theatre, appeared only intended to fill a place till the - realmotor came. Fof some- years past'he had seen an approximation in the opinions of the new Prime Minister and his new supporters; and he was not a little surprised to find that the coalition liad for the present laid- aside their favourite question of Catholic Emancipation. Perbapi they thought to go to work by sap— to take quiet steps — in the'hope that their opponents would become un- suspicious ; and so lhat if the Priestswould but keep the Catholic Laity quiet, they would thus gain time to fill Parliament with such friends. as would carry the measure. In this, however, they should be disap- pointed, forhe ( Earl Mansfield) now gave notice, that on the 4th of June'he should/ propose, a resolution iu " favour of Catholic Emancipation, to the fullest extent that any such resolution had ever been carried or, il ihat nvere notagreed'to, lie would move the House for au Address to his Majesty, = to elicit a declaration from the Crown of a contmry tendency— such as it befitted a Pr- lestant Parliament to ' suggest— such as no King since James the Second luid- ever'been ud'vised lo refuse — yet such as the'Right Hon. Gent. ( Mr. Canning) now atthe itead of the Treasury, must, if he continued to hold office, advise bis Majesty to refuse. Viscount GOI> ERICH ( late JMr. Robinson) defended the measures lie had; assisted in- carrying- into eftect. The opponents of those measures bad called them innovations; but they were, in reality, neither more nor less than an attempt to Ining back the country to those principles, from which, under the pressure of peculiar circumstances,- and in the course of a war of unexampled length and> difficnIty, it- had departed. Earl BATHURST disowned the charge - of concert in particularly with respect to our diplomatic relations. After leading the speech of Mr. Canning relative to Portugal, he found it was impossible that he could support Ihe government. B. y the course lately adopted^- our relations abroad and at home were entirely over- turned, arid placed in diametrical opposition to those of all our allies. But of all the changes which liad taken} place, the retirement of the, Noble Duke from the heaif of the Army was that which was, most extraordinary—^ it was. one w hich went to the heart of every one in th<£ Army. He would read the manner in whicli that illus- trious individual's appointment was announced, as tlie' shortest mode of proving the opinion entertained of hi in1 by his Sovereign and the People: " The Kim? feejs that, under the. present afl^ icting circura-,- stances [ the death of His Royal Higbnes3 the EJuk. e of York], his Majesty cannot more effectually supply the loss, whicli the Nation and the Army have sustained, than by appointing to the chief command ot liis Majesty's forces, F'ield Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington— the great and distin- guished General who has so often led the Armies of the Nation: to victory and glory ; and whose, high military renown is blended with the history of Europe." Was not, he would askv ihat man, then, public pro- perty, and ought he, to have been forced to resign his situation ? And, to speak of that infatuated expedition to Portugal, for such he must call il, supposing thai his Grace's services^ were to b^ wanted there, how could that Minister go to him, and ask him to draw, his sword, after the exhibition of ihe correspondence which had been read ihat night, which, at all events, proved that he did not want the Noble Duke lo remain in office ? Such, then, being the case, that Minister could not ask him to put himself at the head of the Army, and he de. fied any man, situated as. the Duke of Wellington had been, lo act in any other way than as he had acted. The conduct pursued towards the Noble Duke must strike heir Lordships the more forcibly, when they recalled t © their recollection, that the period was not long gone by, when the destinies of the country were locked up in hia voice, and none of their Lordships might have becD where they then sat, but for his combining mind and his powerful aid. On another subject he would say, that, whatever other persons might do, he would not Compromise tiie Catholic Question, A Noble Marquis ( Lansdowne) vvlvo had usually spoken frotn that ( the Opposition) side ofthe House, but who was then on the other side, might do so, but he ( the Marquis of London- derry) would not do any such thing. Those, upon the other side might surround themselves with Noble Lords who held opinions, favourable to the- Catholics, but they knew ihey dare not bring forward fhe Question. Would the Catholics, however, take tEie will, for the deed— ami were the Catholics of Ireland to get nothing For his own part, ihe would rather see tbe country tranquillized - rrh. e would, ratdier than pursue such a course, see tbe question laid aside, and the Government in the hand » of the late Secretary of the Home Department ( Mr. Peel), who had, last night, made a speech which did him tiie highest honour, and which would be borne itt mind so long as consistency was distinguished from in- consistency— and so long as honesty was preferred to dishonesty. He confessed he had rather see that right hon. gent, at the . head of the Government, than the present Minister, even with the loss of the Catholic Question, because lie knew that, so long, Ireiand would be treated well. Then, what were the present Ministers to do— would they deceive the • Catholics, or would they deceive the King, their Royal Master? Did they not see, it » another place, one individual fSir « F. Byrdett], the head of the Radical interest, and another well- known person [ Mr. Brougham}, who had made no small figure before their lordships as 1 lie advocate of the ' Queen — did not they see them go over to support the new Administra- tion ? What cpulddliey say to that ? He ( the Murqui « of Londonderry) was not an orator, nor did lie claim to be a mail of talent, but he . trusted lie was a man of- sense, wh. ich lie spoke plainly, and he pledged . his honour that he would mot go to any bookseller to print his speech ; , pr . if- he should do « o, he would not retract one word of what he had utlered ( cheers and laughter). He would not thus have trespassed oil fhe House, had it not been for the treatment received'by his Illustrious Commander ( the Duke of'Wellington), with whom be had gone through perils and dangers, which that Noble ^ Person would not deign to refer to or look back upo » « — a man who, he would say, was adored by his. officers and soldiers, and who was distinguished by ha'viuu' gained for his country the most , glorious victories.-— [ The earnest manner iu which the Noble M. arq. uis delivered himself excited a strong sensation, and ho was much cheered throughout his address.] The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, no consideration* should deter him from bringing- forward the Catholic Question Wheal he thought tfie ti. niH and. circumstances- of the country were fitted for its discussion. , tie cared little for the misconstruction that might be put upon his motives. His late conduct was consistent with the whole of his public life. He luvd unhesitatingly pro- mised his support to a Government formed of men w itj » whose principles he coincided upon all great public questions, aud who, being appointed to conduct. the affairs of the Empire, had called upon hijni for co- operation in his Majesty^ name. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, every one must now treat with contempt and scorn the authors of those calumnies which bad be. en- poured for Hi against the retiring mem- bers of the late Administration. For himself, though should ever. su, pport the Catholic .. Question, lie - was determined to* oppose, with uncompromising hostility^ ihe Admi. u. is4r. alion now formed. The Marquis of ANGLESBA , s. nid, in.. taking OJFFICE .1M had merely obeyed the summons wliich he had receive*! tode> vote bis ' best eu. ci » gie » to Ihe sy p, port of the Tii. r. oue. With reference to the iprincj pies OIL . wbich he had' ta. kei* oifice, he was . unfettered, 4iud free as the air he ,- was then breat. Jiiug.

The Earl of WESTMORELAND Said, when he found that the person to be placed at the head of ihe govern- any ground of complaint- aga- inst him for any part of his conduct. From the tone and the " mariner iu which his right, hon. friend spoke of the strange coincidence of six resignations on the same day, although the imputa- tion of concerted agreement was ' disclaimed, yet more vias conveyed by the allusion to a strange coincidence than the language precisely meant. The resignations were not, in fact, all sent in on the 11th of A pril. For his own pari, he did not send in his resignation oil the 11th of April; but in a conversation w hich he had wiih his right honourable friend on the 10th of April,' he intimated to him that he would not - continue? to'hold ' office. His noble friend ( Lord Eldon) had also- acted in a ' manly and candid manner. He had, indeed, been f<> r some time previously seeking for an opportunity to retire, from his advanced time of life,- and fi'oiVi- various • bther considerations, although he was willing to. give judgment in tlie cases in which he had been partly Engaged. Yet he was anxious for an opportunity of " retTreuien?, and the readiness with which he gladly availed himself of retiring was in every respect- a con- trast to ihe anticipations of those who threw out inl'u hiations in that House, that rather than part with office lie would have even altered his opinions upon the Catholic Question. He ( Mr. Peel) repeated his assur- ance to the House that there was no concert in the resignations— he owed it in justice to his ow n character, and to that of his noble colleaguesjto states'thal nothing charge of inconsistency against him, nor- did he make' tnent was the advocate of Catholic Emancipation* he * * ' ' - 1 could'not continue in office. He could not consent to grant the demands of the Catholics ; and as the First ' Minister was the man who decided the colour and course of the administration, and who dictated the course boili of the foreign-= aud domestic policy of the: country, Ire could not'continue in office1 without aban- doning ihose principles to which lie had hitherto given a Conscientious support. Lord MELVILLE said, no one more valued- the at- tainments of the new Premier than he did: still, he could not but feel, w hen- sounany of his colleagues had retired, that the new Ministry did not possess tbe respectability of the old one : ' therefore, when called upon to join a new administration, he had a right to decline doing so, until he knew the materials of which it was to be composed. As to the- charge of concert in liis secession, he utterly denied the acousation. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, after expressing his devotion to his Majesty's person, said, lie bad told the Noble Duke ( Wellington) long ago, when ar the Con- gress of Verona, that he had no confidence in the individual ( Mr. Canning) who was Secretary for Foreign Affairs. He bad also predicted then whqt had now come lo pass, that that individual would not be contented until lie had forced his waV to ihe head of Ihe Government. In the course of the last year he had seen principles creep into the Administration, which, if his noble relative had lived, would never have been acceded to by the government of this country— ond To the Editor of the Salopian Journal.
