THE VEGETABLE TOOTH- POWDER— Thin Den- lifrice has so long been in general use, and an appendage to the fashionable toilet, tiiat it is almost unnecessary to offer any further recommendation in favour of it. Com posed of Vegetables, without the admixture of any Mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual objections so justly formed against the use of other Dentifrices.

Mr. WETHERELL having applied to the LORD CHAN- ! CELLOR to grant an 1 NJUNCTION to restrain certain Booksellers from printing, publishing, and selling PIRATED EDITIONS OF PINNOCK's CATECHISMS, the originals of which he denominated " useful Com- peudiums of Instruction for the Juvenile Classes of Society ;" his Lordship, on comparing the Spurious Copies with the Genuine Works, granted the injunc- tion ; and after having attentively examined the latter, was pleased to make the following important observa- tion on them :— 44 It appears to me that ADULTS might be greatly benefitted by the instruction these Books contain, AS WELL AS THE YOUNGER BRANCHES OF SOCIETY." The Publisher respectfully begs leave to observe, that, independent of the high encomium above- mentioned, 41 PINNOCK'S CATECHISMS" have met with the general approbation of a most numerous and respectable Class of intelligent Teachers. They need only to be seen to ensure their universal adoption ; the information they contain in so small a compass being unparalleled, and the style in which they are written, combining ease, conciseness, and perspicuity. 44 Being led to look into these works, we have been pleasingly surprised at the variety and accuracy of the information they contain, within so small a compass, and iu so excellent a form ; and we must say, that more convenient, accurate, well arranged, and proper pub- lications, were never submitted to general observation." — Literary Gazette.

GENTLEMEN, '' J'pO withhold from public Knowledge a a manifest Fact of the Utility and perfect Cure effected l> v your CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS upon me, would be the greatest Ingratitude, as long as it is an incumbent Duty of every Man to facilitate the Com- fort of his afflicted Fellow- creatures. In the Year 1797, I caught a most violent Cold, which affected my Breast and Luugs so much, that I could- scarcely speak to be understood, and remained so for the Space of two Months.; at the same Time accom- panied with a great. Discharge from my Lungs, which continued with unabated Force until the Year 1809.— When, after having Recourse to almost every Advice, and to no Purpose, being in Conversation wiih a Gentleman of the Faculty, I told him I thought there was no perfect Cure for an Asthma, to which he as- sented, but replying that he had one himself% and his only Relief was " by taking frequently some Medicines to keep his Lungs" open. About this Ti* me a Neigh- bour came to see me, who said he had. been equally as bad as 1 was then, and he ( irst told me of CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS, being the Medicine that made him as he was then in Health, and persuaded me to make Trial of a small Bottle. — I sent for one to Shrewsbury, to Mr. WOODS, the Printer, at which Time Iliad an incessani Cough with litile or no Intermission- la the Morning at Breakfast I took two Tea Spoon- fuls of the Drops in the last Cup of Tea ; and no more wonderful than true, I did not Cough for the Space of ten Minutes after, which would have taken place twenty or thirty Times before in that Time.— In short, it and a few Bottles more perfectly cured me then, and I have never been without it in my House for several Years after, to use it upon any Occasion after taking Cold. I am now a living Witness to the Truth of what I have here said, and completed the Gist Year of mv Age the 4. ih Day of Jane instant, and, blessed be God, I have as good Breath as any other Man of my Age iu the County of Montgomery. 1 am, Gentlemen, Your most obedient bumble Servant, JOSEPH RUTTER.

ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS, FLO U G H M A N'S D1U) PS Lichfield, September 20, 1827. GENTLEMEN, fIMPELLED by a Sense of Gratitude for the remarkable Cure I have received by the Use of your invaluable Antiscorbutic Drops, I forward you the Particulars of my Case, that others who may be similarly afflicted- may know w here to apply for Relief. For Twenty Years I had a most inveterate Scorbutic Eruption upon my Arms, Legs, ami Back of my Neck, attended with the most intolerable Itching and Smart- ing.— I tried various Remedies, and had the Advice of Medical Men in this City, but all to no Purpose; the Disease increased to such a Degree as to destroy my Rest at Night, my Appetite and general Health failed, and I despaired of Recovery. Being recommended to give your Antiscorbutic Drops a Trial, I purchased a small Bottle from Mr. Edwards, Druggist, of this City, and, after taking five small Bottles, to my great As- tonishment, as well as that of my Family, the Complaint was entirely eradicated ; and I am now able to follow my Business, which before 1 was incapable of attend- ing to. It will give me Pleasure to answer any Enquiries; either personally, or if by Letter, Post- paid. 1 remain, your obedient Servant, JOHN SMITH, Saddler and Harness- maker, Market- street, Lichfield.

E PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS are JL so well known throughout Shropshire, and indeed throughout the Kingdom at large, for the Cure of the above Disorders, and without the Aid of Mercury or of any Surgical Operation, that any Comment on their Virtues is quite unnecessary.

SALOPIAN JOTJHNALj AND COUHIEF, OF WAILED HOUSE OF COMMONS— U'EDNEsn. AY. General KING presented a petition from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of I'lie parish of Drumclifi'e. in ihe County of Siigo, Irelnnd. lie did not concur in liie prater of liit1 peiiiiouers* • still, n » the petition was resp<. CM fully honied, Ire felt ii his duty ! « • present it ' I lit? Gallant General said, that as he hi id be'en one of t- hose . wi'tn had been . lut « dy denounced as enemies of their count-] y, b> an ijicwal Association, sifting, and which had for the Id- si two years been sitting, in Dublin, he should take that opportunity to Say that he should ti< ver suffer himself to he intimidated or de. terred from the performance of his duty by the threats or the menaces of an v body or men, or bv any parly bat ever. Relying on' the firmness and the talents displayed by the NoWe Duke now at the head ol his Majesty's Government in other situations— convinced that his conduct would now, as foriwerlv., be such as to entitle him to ihe admiration and gratitude of. his country — thin in his new and important com- mand he would he as tenacious of bis country's good, Ins country'* safely, and his own honour, as ill hi* former perilous, yet gloriou. y, station at the head of our nrmv ( ami it was no small portion of his- ou u pride to have served under his Grace) - lie. should give to the Government formed under ihe Noble Duke's auspices his humble, hut hearty, support. Fie was quite convinced that, in the new situation in which the Noble Duke had been p'aced, lie would1 display his wonted activity, his sound judgment, and apply his undivided attention lo alt those hiy h duties he had been called upon by his Sovereign to perf « » nn — that his exertions would be now directed to cany Hito effect those energetic measures necessary tu. insure and preserve peace and tranquillity, and to promote the prosperity of the country, as ardently and as successfully as they had b « en exercised in combat- ling her enemies in war. To reiurn to Ihe petition before the House-. — lie could not bring himself to imagine how the violation of the treaty of Limerick — committed 140 years since— could have produced ihe distress and the gnevau- ces at the present day com plained of in Ireland, or how the amelioration of the Je^ al code could swJVance education, civilization, or prosperity in Iielaud Ho denied to no man liie right to worship God according to his conscience, hut he would place his decided negative upon assertions made every day by the Catholics respecting the want of accommodation for their religious teachers, and upon statements as false sis they were astounding. We heard of millions being added to the Catholic population of Ireland it. an iuciedihly short space of time; yet there could be no deficiency of accommoda- tion for them in ihe chapels al present existing; for their leaders had published that no fewer thai: 4,00;), MOO of Roman Catholics had assembled on the same day, and at the same hour, in their respective places of worship, and there agreed upon petitions to the Legislature, one of which was thai now before the ( louse. If, therefore, those places of worship could Contain four millions of people, at the same time, assembled foi such a purpose, lie could not b< lieve lit at they would be insufficient to accommodate all the Catholics of Ireland when congregated for religious worship I'II the statements of the Roman Catholics lately, there was .< u£ passage, on . which they laid great stress, namely, that their body comprised a ifiilliou of 11. en capable of bearing arms. Why, he would ask, had they alluded lo that fact, if a fact it was? Why refer to their numerical strength, unless with a view to intimidate, and carry that by menace which would not be otherwise conceded to them ? He would not, he repeated, deny to any man the right of thinking or judging for himself, hut uo man had a right to attempt, by intimidation, to- coin- pel others to agree with; or make concessions ro- him. That style of application for redress was not, however, '' entirely confined to the Cat Indies themselves He was sur- prised at the tone used by Hon. Members of that fl'inrse in presenting petitions from those people, who treated with such arrogance all those who differed from lhem in opinion — who offered themselves to the Mouse Vi ith " Fire in each eye, and paper* in each harftJ." Looking round with defiance at every man who- hap. peued to differ from iheui in opinion, and ready to draw their swords to enforce their arguments He was not^ however, a man to be deterred from support rug' our Protestant Establishments by shell means. He, for one, would not sacrifice his principles- for the fee. simple of ihe whole country. Sir. I. BRY B" G+' S concurred with the Gallant General. Mr I. FvYCFsTF. R affected to lament the conjunction which he said virtually existed in the Duke of Wellington, of Commander- in Chief and Premier. He was of opinion that by opposing Catholic emanci- pation the ministry were bringing* down on this country the intolerable burthen of a poor Irish popu- lation to devour ils prosperity. Sir JOHN NBWPORT said a few words in corrobora- tion of what was asserted by Mr. Leyeester. Sir THOMAS LBTHBRIDQB said it " would be well if every Hon. Member, to whom petitions from the Catholics should be intrusted, were to imitate the Gallant General ( King), and give to the Catholics their advice in the same manly and candid manner; for it must be recollected that that Honourable and Gallant Officer was himself one of ihe Irish Members denounced by an unconsiitn ional body iu the sister kingdom, iu a manner such as that House had never witnessed.' That body had, in defiance of a law passed three years since, and which was now about lo expire, continued to hold meetings and to exercise all the powers of a legislative body. Summousi u were issued by them for returns of the sliength of the different' parishes, and not only of the men, but of the strengih of their pockets, iu order that it might be ascertained what sums could be drawn from them — sums, the oJjjeit of which we were not told; but ihe time was not far distant, perhaps, w hen those funds would be applied in a way of which the House had uo < iotiou. He thought that until that illegal body were put down, Honourable Members ought to take their stand, and refuse even to entertain the application* of the Catholics for redress. So long us intimidation ond denunciation were abroad, so long ought Hon. Gentlemen to refrain from supporting the Cutlmlic claims ; but ffoey ought, at the same time, to repre- sent to the Catholics how completely the steps they were taking were calculated to destroy their own cause. Was it to be koine., that every Irish Member < ivho should support the Duke of Welling- ton's Admi- nistration should be stigmatized as an enemy to Ireland ? That House would not have done its duty to the country, or to the Legislature, until they should have compelled the parties who issued them to with- draw their denunciations. As reference hi. d been made to the Duke of WeMiugt. m, and to the Admi- nistration formed by him, he ( Sir T. L.) should slate Ms opinion, that it was the oiosf auspicious, and Appeared fraught with more benefits for the country in ils internal management, than a- ny he had ever witnessed. In its foieigu policy, too, he was con- vinced that ihe line that would be followed would he more conducive to the honour, the strength, and ihe prosperity of the country, than that which would have been pursued by the short- lived Administration which had jost tumbled to pieces— which ihe Hon Member for Westminster bad said, had fallen to pieces from its own irresolution, but which he ( Sir T. L ) would say, had fallen to pieces from its own imbecility. Not even the great talents of thai great and I ameuted Statesman, now uo more, could have i kept them together ; and if he could not, how could tt be expected that they could ha ve sustained themselves when deprived of his powerful support ? The Hon. Bart, concluded bv once more caliiutf upon the H>< use to resist the claims of the Catholics, put forward at such a time, and in such a manner, as ihe present. Mr. SPRING liICE defended ihe legality of the Roman Catholic Association, while he deprecated it*., violence. He considered the concession of the Roman Catholic claims unattended with any hazard. • Vir. FEKOUSON expressed his assent to ibis state- ment of Mr. Kice. HOUSE OF COMM O N S - T11U R S D V Y. A number of petitions were presented from Dissent- ers, praying a repeal of the Test Acts.— SIR THOMAS LbTHBRlPCB moved for several return* connected- with the Corn Laws question, as also did Mr. VV.

J1 did not touch upon the Equity or Criminal depart- ments, the latter of which has been long- under ihe special cha- ge of the Light Hon. the Secretary for Home Affairs. The abuses which Mr. BYoughaiu attacked were those onlv that exist, or are alleged to exist, in the lnu « which affect properly, and chief] v n » administered in ( he Courts of. King's Bench, Com- mon Pleas, and Exchequer. The speech of the I. eained Gentleman occupied nearly six hours iu the delivery. He detailed the usages and practices of all the courts cl ihe land., high and low, forming numerous, objections to each, and suggesting remedies for the alleged evils of the whole— one of which was to increase the number of Judges from twelve to fourlei n proponing that the two New Judges should, besides easing the other Judges of a portion of their business in London, go the Welsh Circuit, and thereby remedy the evils complained of by ihe present defective admi" lustration of the laws in the Principality. He con- cluded bv moving,^ " that an hum. blevAddress be presented to his Majesty, praying that he may be graciously pleased to direct that a Commission he appointed to inquire inlo the defects occasioned by time, i< ud uiiur circuuuitiiumy iu our Uwi, » ud to propo e such a remedy as may be deemed expedient." — 1 he Spi.

It is supposed " that the Ambassadors of the Three Powers are, ere this, at Corfu— whence, it is rumoured, they will be invited to return to Con- stantinople.

OP INFIRMARY.— At a weekly board, on Saturday last, it was reported that a legacy of 1179, free of duty, bequeathed to that Charity by the late William Fenn, Esq of Farnwortb, in Lancashire, ( a « n; tive of this town,) was paid to the Deputy Trea- surer, by his Executors.— Mr. Fenn had: previously given a donation of twenty guineas to th'^; Infirmary, and also subscribed twenty guineas t$> vaycj&/ the erection of a new Infirmary. 1 Several persons were convicted before the Mayor and Magistrates, on Tuesday last, of playing at pitch and toss on the Sunday preceding, and paid the penalty of 3s. 4d. each; in default of which they would have been committed to the stocks. In consequence of the fall of snow on Sunday night and Monday last, the mails and other coaches to this town did not arrive yesterday until some hours after their usual time MORRIS V. DALIES.— The arguments of; Counsel, on the motion for a new trial in this case, occupied the Court of Chancery during the whole of Thursday and Monday last; and yesterday the Lord Chan- cellor was to pronounce his decision upon the motion. A Deputation of ei^ ht of the Country Bankers waited on the Duke of Wellington on Friday, at the Treasury, arid had an interview with his Grace, at which the Chancellor of the Exchequer assisted. The conference w ith the Noble Duke ar. d the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer lasted about two hours. In the House of Commons, on Friday, Mr. Sidney gave notice of a motion, for the 26th instant, for a reform of the abuses of the poor law, respecting payments made to and for ablt>- bodiecl labourers from the poor- rates. Committed to our County Gaol, Charles Swifi, charged with the manslaughter of George Hoof; Richard Lewis and Aaron Humphreys, charged with stealing a quantity of silver coin the property of Edward Jones, and some silver coin ani a pair of shoes the property of John Thomas; James ltoberfs% cbarged with stealing fifteen pounds weight of fat, of the value of four shillings and sixpence, the property of Robert Hall, of Shiffnal.

No change had taken place, and things remained in nearly the same state in which they were at the departure of the Ambassadors. The Turkish Government were actively employed in military armaments— a line of policy which they would of course adopt, however strong their hopes might be of ail amicable adjustment. The Russians wcie strengthening their forte upon the frontiers, and Austria was making preparations against every con- fiutienoy. The letters from Leghorn, of the 18th lilt, repeat the account of the departure of the remnant of the Egyptian fleet from Navarino for Alexandria, with Ihe Greek families on board, after having beaten a Greek squadron which opposed their passage. Ibrahim Pacha is, however, said to be stiil in the Vorea, awaitis g live orders of his father. All the places recently occupied by the Egygtiaus in the Morea, had successively surrendered to the Greeks. Other letters from the same place, dated the 22d, state that the blockade of the four places, occupied by the Turks, continued; and that the trade of the Levant was entirely suspended by the war. The Greeks had taken Trikieri, and massacred the garrison. This morning, early, a destructive fire broke out in the bouse of Mr. Humphries, of the White Horse, Gilbert- street, Clare- market, which was attended with the most lamentable consequences. The house was entirely consumed, and, dreadful to relate, being filled with lodgers, and the conflagration most rapid, several of the inmates perished in the flames. The report respecting an increase in the duly on wine is unfouod « d: wr uodiislaud that Mr. Hus. kisson expressed- himself decidedly, on that point during his recent visit to this town. 7—~~ Liverpool A lb: on. On Friday morning, one hundred and eight female convicts were dispatched in custody to Woolwich, for embarkation on board the transports now lying there, destined for Van Dierneu's Land. They appeared in high spirits. On Saturday afternoon much curiosity was excited iu iVIilbank- street, Westminster, and thence to the New Palace building in St. James's Park, by the appearance of a double- bodied and strongly constructed waggon, drawn by a team of no fewer than twenty- three horses, conveying one block of marble ! It appeared to be about twenty- two or twenty- three feet long, between five and six feet wide, and about two feet six inches thick. It was roughly squared. So great was the burden, that the horses were halted to rest nearly every five minutes. During the last week several blocks of marble have left Freeman's Wharf for the Palaee, each drawn by teams of sixteen and eighteen horses. These ponderous blocks of marble are said to be for the magnificent archway that is to front the New Palace.

The Roman Catholic Petitions beein to fiow into both Houses of Parliament. In the House of Com- mons, Mr. D. W. Haryey observed, that—" It was desirable that the state of Ireland glionld be changed from one of wretchedness and horror to that of tranquillity and happiness; but to say that the concession of Catholic Emancipation was the only means by which that object could be effected, was practising a delusion on the people whom those gentlemen wished to serve."— A London Journal asks," Would Catholic concession remove or alle- viate the evil r l/ it would not, let us take the only path which the real friends to Ireland ought to take. Let ns do away this delusion about the Catholic Claims— let us set ourselves honestly and heartily to work to ascertain what part of land, now barren, might be brought into cultivation,— to consider whether every man or family, who could reclaim so much of bog, shall not he allow ed to possr- ss it as his freehold. Surrounded by the sea, with so many- ports and harbours, could not the fisheries be made the means of affording employment lo thousands Might not Ireland look with advantage to the example of Scotland ?— Mr. Telford, the engineer, says that," Under a Parliamentary Commission, one thousand miles of road, and one thousand five hun- dred bridges, besides a very considerable number of harbours, landing piers, and quays, have been lately made in Scotland in aid of the Fisheries. These improvements have been one of the greatest blessings ever conferred on a country. The people feel that they may depend upon their own exertions for support; improvement g- oes on silently, and is scarcely perceived until apparent by the results. Government only paid one half, and the country assessed the other half. The purchase- money granted was £ 200,000 in the course of fifteen years, and this sum was the means of advancing Scotland at least half a century."— The precedent of Scotland might be applied to the highland districts of Ire- land, both mountainous and uncultivated, and abounding with an unemployed increasing popu- lation. DFATII OF THE DEAX OF WORCESTER— We have the painful task of recording the death of the Rev. Dr. Hook, whose courtesy and hospitality endeared him to ail ranks during the comparatively short period of his residence at the Deanery of Worcester. He expired on Tuesday, in the 50th year of his age. The Dean was a most distinguished Scholar and Divine, and was honoured by the personal regard of bis Sovereign. He held Hie Archdeaconry of Huntingdon, together with the Livings of Rrotnsgrove and Stone, Worcestershire, and the Mastership of St. Oswald's Hospital. The remains of the late Dean of Worcester were deposited yesterday in the Cathedral of that city.— The Worcester Herald says—" Conjecture is, of course, now busy in fixing upon a successor to the Deanery, but nothing as we learn hasyet transpired to give it any direction likely to be correct. The Hon. and Rev. Dr. Wellesley, a Prebendary of Durham, and brother of the Duke of Wellington, has been freely spoken of, but we believe the only ground upon which the surmise rests, is the power- ful interest Dr. W. may be naturally considered to have in attaining any vacant preferment he may desire."— The interment of the late Dr. Hook took place in what is termed the small transept of the Chancel. The following occurrence took place on Thursday at the commencement of the digging of the grave. The men had reached to about eighteen inch" s below the surface, when they came to the remains of a female, who had evidently been buried without a coffin, and iu her clothes. Of Ihe latter, the shoos were almost entire, and other parts of the garments, the flannel particularly, were but little decayed. The discovery of a body in such a s tua- tion, and under such mysterious circumstances, has created much surprise, leading many to the con- elusion that it is that of a hastily interred victim of some murderous hand.

We were on Friday evening last visited by one of the most terrific thunder storms ever experienced in this part of the country. Plashes of lightning, the most vivid that have appeared w ithin the recol- lection of the oldest person in Bangor, were suc- ceeded by dreadful crashes of thunder, resembling occasionally the simultaneous discharge of innu- merable pieces of artillery, and then volleys of musketry; in the intermediate periods, the rattling of large hail stones against the Windows, the rain falling from the eaves of the houses, the hollow howling of the wind, and the darkness consequent on a thunder storm, tended to fill the minds of the inhabitants with awe not unmixed with horror. Some injurious effects attended the progress of the storm, but we are happy to say, no loss of human life either by land or sea can be enumerated with them. The crew of the sloop Christiana, of Liver- pool, Thomas Owen, master, w hich was at anchor near Bangor Ferry, and about half a mile from the Menai Bridge, however, had a very narrow escape. At Carnarvon, great damage was done to the ancient castle, one of the beauties of Wales. The flagstaff at the top of the Eagle Tower was sur- mounted by an iron spindle, which is supposed to have attracted the fluid, from whence it descended the staff, and at the bottom took an easterly direction along the upper part of the tower, carrying with it from ten to twenty tons of stones, whiyh fell on the roof of a warehouse recently built tn that part of the castle, for the accommodation, of merchants. The tower is cracked several yards from the top. The fluid afterwards took the same direction, and in ils course shattered a spar, which was lying near the castle wall, at both ends. A sawyer, who was working within five yards of the spar, was knocked down by the shock, and was for some time com- pletely stunned, but happily received no further injury. It was providential that the fluid did not take its course to the tower next to the custom- house, as the public- house contiguous thereto would in that case have been inevitably buried under the ruins. The house of Mr. Thomas Williams, of Llanfawr, in the parish of Llangristiolus, Anglesey, was very seriously damaged,— the devastation which the electric fluid occasioned was awful indeed. Besides demolishing a considerable part of the house, most part of the furniture was so completely shattered that the flying pieces were actually fixed deep in the beams; the gable end of the house was forced down ; every window was sn> ashed to atoms; tables, beds, & c. were ctushed into many shapes; and a Jarge looking glass was found so> ne distance from the house, broken in piec< * , It is remarkable that in a cupboard, where they kept their glasses, & c. there vv& s one jug that contained some s) IVer spoons, which were all scattered in different ( directions, while the jug itself remained untouched; every other cup, and whatever else the cupboard con- tained, forming one dusty heap of fragments. The fluid lastly burnt a part of Mrs. Williams's shoe, and then escaped through a chink of the tottering house, and immediately after a clap of the m « st awful thunder shook the very foundation. The smoke, the smell of sulphur, and the dust of the falling ruins, made it for a length of time almost impossible to discover the extent of the loss. Con- siderable numbers flock around to view the dreadful devasUtiou.— North Wales Ckrazicl*.

SunBWBBPRY, FEB. 7, 1828. fttf0£* lUiiteoii0 Intelligence* In the House of Lords a Committee of Privilege was sitting- some days last week, in consequence of tire arrest of Lord Hawarden on an action of debt. StV- any ers were excluded ; but it was understood. Tt 11 at YV. H. Palmer, Esq. Under Sheriff for Sussex, MY. Ti! finer, the Attorney for the plaintiff in the, dx'tion, and Camp, the^ Sheriff's officer, who executed the process, were ordered into the custody of the Serjeant at Ai'nis, and eventually discharged upon petition, acknowledging their error, and paying- the fees. MR. HUSKIFSON.— DISSENTERS AN O CATHOLICS. — A deputation from the two congregations of Paradise Street and Renshaw Street, Liverpool, waited upon Mr Muskisson, on Wednesday last, to request him to present to the House of . Commons their petitions, for the repeal of the Corporation arid Test Acts. The Rrght Hon. Gentleman, in the course of his observations, remarked,— That he did not consider the subjects of complaint as any great practical grievance, except the clause in the Corporation Act; there it was true that, any member mig^ ht put his veto upon the nomination of a candidate who had not previously qualified ; but he did not think that there was now in the kingdom a man to be found so illiberal \ and that all the penalties of the Test Act were avoided, if not by the- letter, certainly by the liberal construction of the annual Act of Indemnity: — that the hardships complained of were uothi. rg in comparison with the real grievances of the Catholics :— that he was of opinion that whatever tests might be thought necessary to secure the allegiance of subjects, they ought all to be of a civil,; never of a religious nature: atid that he hoped, and, from the advance of " Human intellect believed, that the time Would soon coriie when all disabilities on account of religious opinions would be removed. The Right Honourable Gentleman concluded his remarks in nearly the following- words:—" With every word in the arguments of these petitions 1 fully concur, and shall so state to the House ; and if I should vote for the postponement of the question, it will be merely because I think it will be prejudicial to a question of much greater importance." On Thursday, Robert Taylor, convicted of bias- phemy, was brought up in the Court of King's Bench, and sentenced to be confined in Oakham g- aol, in the county of Jutland, for one year, and to find securities for his good behaviour for five years, himself in £ 500, and two sureties in £ 250 each. Joseph Lyceft, who was apprehended in October last, in Birmingham, charged with having in his possession the plates from which forged one- pound notes of several country banks were struck off, died on Saturday at the General Hospital in that town. While the officers were proceeding to search the house in which he lived, he took the opportunity of attempting self- destruction by cutting his throat; he was immediately removed to the Hospital, and placed under surgical care, and it was for some time considered that he would recover. The wound, Subsequently, however, assumed an unfavourable appearance, he became gradually worse, and died ou the day above- mentioned. Thomas Ford, a respectable looking man, residing in Park- street, Birmingham, was charged at the Public- office there, on Thursday, with having in his possession a number of the notes of the Warwick firm, which were stolen from the Warwick mail, in London, a short time ago. Mr. Green way, a partner in the Warwick bank, detailed the circum- stances of the robbery, as stated in the papers at the time of its occurrence. Two clerks from Can* Glyn's banking- house deposed to the making up of the parcel which was given to Mr. Greetiway, and to. the numbers and amounts of the notes. A boy named Dyke, who lives in Park- street, stated that on Saturday the 26th ult. the prisoner, who was a neig- hbour of his, desired him to get a £ 5 Warwick note changed, which he did, and on the following Monday he gave him another £ 5 to get changed, which he accomplished also. On the same day Ford gave him two more £ 5 notes to buy groceries, and four £ 10 notes to purchase various articles at different shops in the town; and he told witness, if any inquiry were made respecting the notes, to say that they came from Thomas Ford, CarrVIane. . eocceeded in making the , purchases requiredj and gave the goods and the change to Ford. He was stopped at last, however, at Mr. Scudamore's, druggist, Edu- baston- street, who perceiving that the £ 10 note offered was one of those stolen from the Warwick bank, he had Dyke apprehended, when he stated he received the note from Ford, and the latter was taken into, custody. The different tradesmen to whom the notes had been passed were examined, and identified those produced, the numbers of which corresponded with the numbers taken down in London as part of the notes stolen. The prisoner was eventually remanded. JUNKETTINC.— CAUTION TO SERVANTS.— Mary Ann Brock, a servant to a farmer at Tidenham, Gloucestershire, was sentenced at the late county sessions to three months imprisonment and hard labour, for admitting a man, with, whom she kept company, into her master's house, and feasting him at her master's expense. Mr. Murray, the lecturer, has discovered Iodine, in Gloucester Spa water. It exists iu the form of Hydriodate of Potassa. The presence of this active chemical principle imparts to the water an additional value and importance. Otway Cave, Esq. M.

A portrait of Mr. Alderman Carden, the venerable senior Magistrate of the City of Worcester, ( upon which Mr. T. Evans, a pupil ot Sir Thomas Lawrence, is now engaged, at the, expense of the Corporation,) is to be place ! in the Council Chamber of the Hall, " in grateful testimony of the veneration and regard of the Corporation, towards this excellent Magistrate and- worthy Citizen— to per- petuate to future times an example of a just, upright, and amiable character." Mr. Alderman Garden is now in his 90th year. Mr Green has obtained leave to bring in a bill to enable the Clergy and their Parishioners to agree upon a commutation of Tithes,' without having recourse to Parliament for a Bill to authorise it. As the law now stands no commutation can take place without a direct application in every instance to the Legislature; and that, as every one knows, is not a cheap process. Hereford Fair on Tuesday exhibited a remarkably fine sh pw ot cattle, both as to numbers and ijoatity. Steers were in demand, and sold briskly at good prices, though some remained unsold 5 fat cows experienced a depression in price, and the sale was rather dull— Ihe best animals averaged (>,|. per lb. Stores were in request, and went at fair prices. Fat sheep averasred 6£ d. per lb. and stores sold well. Pifjs went at very high prices. The individual who has been so successful iu introducing the use of steam vessels in tnvvins; barges upon the Wye, has expressed his opinion of the practicability of navigating the Severn in a similar manner, and expects soon lo be prepared to submit to the public a prospectus for the Steam Navigation of the Rivers Severn and Wye. MR. HUSKISSON'S SPKECH.— fSee 4th page..) With Mr. Huskisson's Speech at Liverpool we have been highly entertained. It contains, in the first place, a brief summary of his political life, and a ' detail of bis constant attachment to the principles of, and undevialing friendship fur, the late Mr. Canning.— As to Mr. Huskisson's disclosure of the causes which produced the dissolution of the late Ministry, we must conf ss it leaves us iu the dark as much as ever. Such a string of iiiron itiitifs were surely tiever before offered in explanation of the dismissal of any Cabinet. Never, surely, did a Ministry stand so self condemned, so blasted in reputation, so worthily dismissed, as the late one appears to have been by these confessions of one of Ihe cleverest and shrewdest of their colleagues.— Next succeeds Mr Huskisson's reasons which reconciled his conscience to become a Member of the Duke of Wellington's Cabinet. And the speech concludes with Mr. Huskissnn's lamentations on quitting bis associate Whig friends, Lord Lansdowne and Lord Carlisle, with allusion to the measures to be persued by the new Ministry.— Happy, in our opinion, bad it been for Mr. Huskisson, if, instead of exposing to the world and posterity this time- serving policy, this clinging to olfiee under whatever administration may arise, lie had retired from public life with the noble and consoling reflection that he had proposed liberal systems under which he thought his couutry would have prospered, but which they indignantly rejected ; there would, iu conduct like this, have been a dignified, an heroic sternnessand uprightness of character, which would have greatly exalted him in our estimation. As it is, we are confident the high. mind * d Welling- ton will encourage no quackery, will listen to no speculative, untried theories. l! e will command, and will not bo duped. Lord Dudley, it is said, already meditates retiring from the Foreign Office; and we venture to predict, that before six months expire, Mr. Huskisson will retire also from . that of the Colonies.— Bristol Journal.

[ FROM THE WATCHMAN] It is very amusing to bear the liberals assert that what the British were senl to accomplish in Portugal hat been accomplished, and that tiiese troops re- loru cov( re< l, wiib glory.— What have they ac om plished? The establishment of the constitution? the preservation ot the chartered liberties of Por- tugal? P> haw ! The constitution is levelled to Ihe ground-— lie constitutionalists, even the most moderate of them, bate been tried, convicted, and punisl c', f' r endeavouring to rescue Ihe chait r from the destruction which ovirtookit. Ail the men in power, at this moment, and with the consent, of Don ! Migu « i, are anti- constitutiopalisls. The Cortes, if is true, have met,. in order to swear obedience In the new lieutenant; but the charter, in every particular sense,' is as defunct, as is King John, the late king. ' I hat the young prince, w ho has been dandled so much at the Courts of Windsor and the Thuilleiies, and so well instructed in his sovereign functions at Vienna, is likely to restore it, is improbable iu the extreme. Bot the. worst pait of the joke is, thai Ihe impression whieh llii'se troops have made on the ptilicv of Fiance towards Spain, has been totally unsuccessful.' Did not Mr. Canning calculate, that the occupation of Portugal would equipoise the occupation of Spain by France? Dili lie not boast of this as a master stroke in his policy, and afiinn that its inevitable result would had lo the recal of ihe French troops, simultaneously with the recal of the British from Portugal? Oh, shallow, purblind politician! Cadiz is still a French porl— the chief garrisons of His Catholic Majesty are held bv French soldiers ; while we, after spending a million of money, and marching our Wile regiments through a dissatisfied country, to be exposed to the execrations of its populace, are obliged to march them home again, without having accomplished one of the many vast objects which we anticipated! And yet the liberals have the complacency to talk of our object being accomplished!— Of the domestic and interna! policy u hit h the new government will pursue we can- not even bum a conjecture. We are laying upon our oars waitiog lor the course of events. The exclusion of Lord E> dou from the ministry, and the retention of Mr. Huskisson, have not tended to allay the appre hensions of the intelligent and mercantile classes of the community, and iu all I be respectable provincial journals, we see these sentiments unequivocally ex- pressed. In the Duke of Wellington we have implicit ' confidence. He will listen lo no quackery, he will encourage no political speculat ion, he will dictate and ' will not be led ; and it is on these grounds that we re- gret lie did not% leave Mr. Huslcissou to solace bis friends on the opposition benches. We understand, from good authority, that such are his Grace's inten- tions. They are in consistence with his character, and our only consolation is, that Mr. . H uskisson will either act the part of a mere clerk, and cover himst If with eternal disgrace, by abandoning his favourite measures, or what ( iu justice to him, we say) is more likely, he will not be for six mouths a member of the Wellington cabinet. Upon this important subject a Letter, of which the following: is a'copy, has been transmitted to the Eafl of Malmsbury :— MY LOUD, — 1 hope you will exemp the great liberty I have taken in addressing: you, b it the vast import- ance of the subject to my country, and the great interest I feel individually, occupying, as I do, 15', H) acres of land, will, 1 hope, in some measure apologize for my so doing. Tire last Session of Parliament, I was requested . by some of the lauded interest in the neighbourhood of Cirencester, io write to Lord Slier- home, and solicit him to represent our case to the House of Lords, and he sent to me, saving- that he entirely approved of. the principle of my plan, and that lie had shown niy, letter to jour Lordship, and that you also approved of it. I have ere- r since that time given the subject tl. ie most serious consideration, in what way to obtain a permanent Corn Law; and 1 cannot alter the opinion I always had, that the olily way by which the landed interest of this country can be protected, is by a prohibition' to a certain price, then to let out of bond, or import, a limited quantity, at a certain duty ; for tlie idea of ha ving- corn imported from all the world, will be- ten times more than the reality. Hut it matters not how the markets are de- pressed and kept down, whether by the . reality of the quantity imported, or the idea. of the growers of the quantity that. might be imported from all the world The late Mr. Webb Hall and myself always differed on this subject, lie was for a very high ( say 40s per quarter) protecting- dirty, which 1 am sure no Legis- lature will he wefrk- enough to grant but if they were > o do it, the first year we had a deficient crop iu Eng- land, the clamour would he so great by the consumer, that such an act would be sure to be repealed, and so would all acts made on that principle. As to the plan of importing corn by a graduated scale, it is liable to so many objections that it will never answer. In the first place, trom the field that, will he always open to false returns ; there being- such an interest iu rising- the price to lower the duty, that great holders of Foreign corn can, for a few weeks, buy large quanti- ties of English grain, and rise the market to answer their own ends. . Secondly, as it does not limit the quantity to he imported, it will suffer larg- e quantities to be brought here, when none is wanted, although it appears that the duty, on that p'an, will he very high when the corn is low. The idea of the quantity that can be imported will always make the market flat As to the weak notion of being* at all ruled by the price of corn that the country whence it is imported, can afford to sell it at, il is entirely absurd. Can the English farmer afford to sell wheat at the ptesent price of 48s. per quarter ? A nd as corn is in a great measure a perisnable commndity, it will be sold oftentimes at. . less than w hat it cost. And are all those who speculate in Foreign corn sure to keep it till they make a profit? Certainly not. It will often be sold at ha I ( what it cost them. The plan I mean to pro pose, cannot, I think, be objected to by the Legisla- ture, ns it deals out even- handed jusiici4, to both g- rower and consumer ; neither by the merchant, as it gives him his old favourite, the bonding s\ stem ; neither by the speculator nor holder of Foreign corn, ns it gives him a market the moment corn is'wanted in this country.; neither by the consumer, as it suffers corn tu be imported instead of S'* s by the Act of 1815, or ? 0s. by the Act of IS' 2' 2, at. H4s. per quarter; nor will be opposed by the grower, as il is an improve ment of tiiose- acts, by limiting tlie quantity to be imported, and giving the growers of English a criterion to hold their corn at. As soon as the average price of wheat is at 64s ( by a fresh plan of taking the aver ages,) and barley at 32s. and all other grain in the same proportion, jet out of bond or import 30i), 0t) 0 quarters of wheat, at a duty of 21* 9 per quarter, and half ihe quantity of barley, at half the duty of wheat, to be released from each holder of foreign c:> i; n, in proportion to the whole quantity that is in bond. According to Act 31 Cieo. 3, c. 3'), returns of corn are made from the county town, and the two largest market towns in each county, as well as by the mari- time districts ; now 1 contend every county town, and the two largest market towns in each county ought to make the returns, for the general average; for since there have been so many Canals lately made, every county might justly be called maritime, and ought to make its return. I can see no reasonable objection the Legislature can have to returns being made by the growers of corn only, instead of ihe dealers. Does it suppose that the whole landed interest cannot be relied on as well as a few corn dealers and merchants? Let the average be struck the last. Saturday in each month, and if it should prove above ( i- W. per quarter on wheat, & c. let iri the quantity and at the duty I before stated; and there will not be the desire to evade duty, or to make false returns, as b « the present or former acts. Your very humble and obedient. Servant, EDMUND RUCK Down Ampriey, near f rieklade, Wilts, Jan. 19, 1823. P. S. My Lord, I hope you will endeavour to obtain a duty of 4d per lb on importation of J'orei. gu Wool, or else the English farmer must sell his at- 30 per cent. less thau a fair price.

EE— The mahogany tree cannot be excelled in magnificence and grandeur of appearance by any of th" known productions of the earth of its class, and, could the largest of the oak, which species is usually styled the king of lh « forest, be exhibited in competition, it would dwindle to insignificance in the comparison ; the enormous size and height of the trunk, the uncommon spread of the branches, the space of ground occupied by the roots, altogether convey to the mind the idea that it was designed by nature for the use of a more colossal proportion than the presetit : the ingenuity and perseverance of man has, however, obviated all the difficulties, and reduced the almost apparent impossibility of appropriating to his use, a tree, which, it would appear, has, by nature, been made?' of too great a size to be brought within his power. Commerce has also mad? mahogany, from being asi article scarcely known, to be one of necessity throughout Europe and a great part of America. It becomes almost impossible to give the more minute circumstances attending the growth of this valuable and much used tree, as its progress to maturity i* scarcely preceptible within the life of a man ; but, as far as our limited observation will allow us to form an opinion, not less than an average period of two hundred, years can be allowed as the time of its coming to full growth, or fit for cutting. Its first discovery was by the carpenter 011 board of one of Sir Walter Raleigh's vessels, when he put into some harbour in the island of Trinidad, in the year 1595, who, having occasion to ,<> o on shore to cut some pieces of timber, required for work to be done o « the ship that he belonged to, brought on board a quantity of this wood, which, on being worked, from the raw state, exhibited, to the as- tonishment of all who saw it, that beautiful natural variety of appearaticc which no ingenuity or art can equal. The first use to which mahogany was applied in England, arose from a circumstance purely accidental, and was appropriated to the making of a box for holding candles. Doctor Gibbons,- an eminent physician, in the latter end of the 17th, or beginning of the 18th century, had a brother, a West India captain, who brought over some planks of this wood as ballast, but was not aware of its value. As the Doctor was then building a house in King- street, Covent Garden," his brother thought they might be of service to him ; but the carpenters finding the wood too hard for their tools, they were laid aside for that time as useless. Soon after, Mrs. Gibbons, wanting a candle- box, the Doctor calied on his cabinet- maker lo make one of some wood that lay iu his garden. Wallaston, the cabinet- maker, on cutting it up, also complained that it was too hard: the Doctor said, he must get stronger tools. The candle- box was, how; ever, made, and highly approved of, insomuch that the Doctor then insisted ou having a bureau made of the same wood, which was accordingly done; when the fine colour, beautiful polish, & c. were so pleasing, that it became an object of curiosity, and he invited all his friends to come and sec it; among them was the Duchess of Buckingham. Her Grace begged some of the same wood from Doctor Gibbous, and em ployed Wallastoh to make her a bureau also; on which the fame of mahogany and Mr. Wallaston was much raised, and furniture of this sort soon became general. Thus, from a circumstance so trivial, has emanated a most extensive branch of commerce.— Honduras Almanack. THE FKI£ E TRADE SYSTEM. [ From the Glasgow Courier.] The deep and serious manner in which our Free Trade nostrums are cutting up the staple manu- factures of our country, for we call Ireland our country, is laid before us iu indelible characteis, t> y ty following faets stated by The Society for the Improvement of Irelandai a meeting held in Dublin on Tuesday last. The statement runs thus:— Mr, Gralt an, M P. alluded to I he recent melancholy falling off in our gieat staple manufacture. He said thai a document, which he bad thai day received, showed tiie result arising from the want of encouragement lo I:, e linen trade. In the Barony of Granard, 1000 looms bad been formerly employed ; now they are all idle. The linen inspector of Monagban, used formerly In return lo the Linen Board 50,000 yards of linen, as sold in one year in lhat town; and in Ihe last year he retuViud bot 19.000, being a decrease of 31,000 yards yeaily. Formerly 1000 \ ards used to be Ihe weekly sale, and not more than 150 yards were disposed uf. From the public documents il appeared that Great Biitain imported in one year from Holland, Poland, and Russia, 20,404 cwt. of linen yarn, at Is. 6d. per lb. which amounted to £ 323,502. This was an immense loss lo Ireland. If such a system were persevered in, who could say what disastrous consequences might not follow V%— How ran it be otherwise? The whole of our Colonial possessions, whether si'lualein the Tropical or in Temperate Zones, are inundated and supplied with articles from Germany, which supplant our staple manufactures, linen more especially. We appeal to gentlemen in this city, extensiyely engaged in the linen hade of Scotland, as carried on w itlv the e islcrir. parts of our kingdom, if every letter whieh ibey rere. ive from our colonies abroad does not staK— do not ship British linens— we would take I hem, bol we cannot do so from the . influx ef similar articles from Germany!

Re- Election of Mr. Ilusliisson FOR LIVERPOOL. The election of a Member to represent Liverpool in Parliament having been fixed for Tuesday morning, Mr. BOLTON came forward and proposed the Right llou. William lluskissou. Mr. GLADSTONE seconded the nomination. Mr. fW. C riiRiE said, lie was n Whig- of the old school, and had oiveu the Hon. Gentleman his vote at ilie la*> t election ; lie also signed the requisition terit to him in September last, and proposed the resolution absolving the Hon. Gentleman, on account of his state ( il health, from appearing at the hustings to solicit their voles Since that time, however, circumstances had altered ; wilhin the last month occurrences had taken place, which rendered it imperative on the Hon Gen', to appear before them. He had not attended the two last meetings of the fiiends of the Hon. Gentleman, hut it was not that he thought t. he Hon. Gent, incapable of isatisfactorily explaining his conduct; hut lie did not wish to commit himself by expressing any approbation of conduct which he might afterwards find it hi « duty to. condemn. He would ask the Hon. Gentleman how it was that ihose men, with whom he had been associated in the Ministry, had been allowed to fall without any opposition from the Hon. Gentleman. The measures of the Hon. Gentleman hud been uniformly opposed by the men who stood in their shoes, and he thought such con- duct should be explained Mr. IlusKissoff said, that it was by no fault of his, through no wish to obtain a higher official situation, that he was under the necessity of agViu appearing before iheui. When the administration of l. ord Liver- pool ceased to exist, from the unfortunate vtnitaiiow of Providence which befel him, he ( Mr. H.) might have had il in his power, from the tauiefltefl friend then HERTFORDSHIRE SESSIONS. CAUTION TO SERVANTS. George Whitchurch and Elizabeth JoneB were in dieted for stealing some pork, minced meat, apples, wine, and a hare, and other articles, the properly or Levi Aniens, Esq. at Lamer Fork, near Whealhamp stead, in . this county. The male prisoner was head. butler, and the female housekeeper and co. ok, in the prosecutor's establikh- nient. The indictment was framed under a recent act of par liameni, passed ( among other objects) for inflicting more severe punishments upon servants convicted of rob- bing their employers, than were heretofore authorized. Il is, we believe, the first instance in this - county in which this part of I he statute has been brought into operatinn, and its importance, in a cautionary view, is so great as to induce us to call the attention of the public to the case, by a more full detail than the pres- sure of matter would otherwise admit*. Mr. Brodriek, for the prosecution, briefly addressed the jury upou the leading points, intimating, that it was not the value of the articles charged in the indict- ment, but a sense of public justice, and of the necessity of checking a great and increasing evil, which induced the prosei utoi1 lo bring the prisoners to the bar. It appeared by the evidence of other servants of the prosecutor, comprising, the chief and under game- keepers, the under butler, the coachman, a kitchen- maid, and two butchers ( father and son), who supplied the family with meat, that the prisoner Jones was seen on the 21st of December to put two packages, a box and a basket, into the butcher's cart, at ilie kitcheu- dooi of Lamer- house. That suspicions had been excited by the previously sending off, by the prisoners, of other par- cels, and by certain noises which had been heard in the builer'h room until an advanced hour of the night; and, in consequence, the gamekeeper and under butler, after home resistance by the prisoner Whitchurch, succeeded in taking the packages into the dining- room at Lamer, where lliey were opened before Mrs. Ames. Whitchurch then claimed the whole of the property, and said thai he had haiig lit the poi k of Mow bray, the butcher ; that the minced meat had been made for the family, but that he, not liking nrnced pies, was sending his share to his friends, and that the housekeeper ( Jones), for the same reason, had given him her's; that the apples had been served up for dessert, but not used, and he had therefore taken them to himself; that the wine was elder wine, and was made by Jones; and that the hare had been given to him bv the lady's maid. Upon the repealed asseverations of Whitchurch ( who called God to witness the truth), thai the pork, the wine, anil the hare, really belonged to him, Mrs. Ames allowed him to scud the whole away, and he did so immediately. Subsequently, the lepresentations of Whitchurch turn* d out to be false, and il was found that he had gone, on the next day after the examination, lo the butcher, and asked him to support his story about ihe pork, by say ino that he ( the butcher) had sold it, luii w Inch the butcher very properly refused to do. Whitchurch attempted to abscond, hot was brought hack lo Lamer, and then confessed that the pork belonged to his mistress, hut declared that the housekeeper ( Jones) had lent it to him, and that be intended to replace it. The hare was also identified as having been taken from the prosecutor. The prisoners said nothing iu their defence ; but an attempt was made, through their counsel, Mr. Hyland, lo impute to ihe other servants a malignant feeling to- wards Whitchurch, on Ihe ground that be had been too careful of his master's strong beer. On the part of Whitchurch, very high testimony of character was given by a branch of the family of Lady Plumer, in whose service he had previously lived. The noble chairman ( Lord DANE) remarked upon this in Ins charge to the jury, suggesting, that however powerful this appeared, its consideration was the pro- vince of the bench rather than of the jury. Upou the return of the verdict of guilty against both of the delinquents, but with a particular recommenda- tion to mercy, ihe magistrates retired into a private room, and shortly returned, when ihe noble chairman impressively addressed the prisoners upou the enoruiitv of the offence of servants conspiring to defraud and rob their employers, wheieby domestic confidence was de- stroyed, a- nd the security of families endangered, to the injury not only of masters and mistresses, lint of persons iu the pii. soueis' own class of life. His lordship con- cluded by saying, thai ihe judgment of llie court, formed with scarcely a dissenting opinion, that the prison- ers should be transported for 14 years. The prisoners, who w ere both very respectably dressed burst into tears mi the, sentence being pronounced, and a female fiieiul of the prisoner Jones fainted, and was carried out of court. A Petition to Parliament against the Unitarian Marriage Bill, is in circulation among the Magistrates of Kent, and has received many signal HITS. The Bill in question treats Marriage a> a civil question only, and imposts duties upou the Magistracy, in the solemnization of the rile, which Ihe'Petitioners,, us Members of . the Church of England, consider to be totally iucosppaliblu with their situation as la) men. placed at the head of his Majesty's Councils— n frreml dear to Liverpool as to himself— he might have had it iu his power, tiad be looked to personal gratification, or to ihe objects of ambition then within his reach, to have asked for a higher situation — higher, at least, in public estimation and in officii?) responsibility than that he then held. He was then speaking iu the presence of several gentlemen, to whom at the time tie did not he- sitate to express his sentiments. But he fell that, KS President of ihe Board of Trade, it had been his good fortune, by diligence, by assiduity, and by the labori- ous dischargee of the duties of that situation, to merit some degree of approbation from this enlightened com- munity, and to attract some degree of confidence from the community al large. At the same time, whilst he met with ihe encouragement to which he had adverted, he had also met with much obloquy and opposition. He w as naturally anxious to clear himself and his measures from the reproach cast upon them ; and he felt bound to defend and stand by his official situation as long as it wjisan object of attack. Therefore, when he might have fail ly solicited, on the part of friendship, and on the part of long connexion in public life, a higher official situa- lion, he declined to do it, and remained at his post, and amongst the other motives which influenced him, he felt reluctance to put this great town to the inconveni- ence of a public election, and thus to interrupt, in some degree, the ordinary course of industry, and the pur- suits, in which ihe freemen of Liverpool, to Ihe beuefit of their country and themselves, were habitually en- gaged. They were all aware that the principles by which his lamented friend ( Mr. Canning) had conduct- ed himself in public life were also those which had been the guide of his ( Mr. Hnskisson's) conduct. And he could only say, now that they were the guardians of those principles, now that the public did justice lo Mr. Canning's memory and exertions, when his voice could no mure be heard amongst, them, that if ihe freeuten of Liverpool were not consistent in the maintenance of those principles, if they thought they were no longer to be adhered to, he requested them in consistency lo dis- miss him from those hustings, for certainly he should no longer be a fil representative for them. But he knew that the principles lie had acted upon were ihe princi- ples which animated the great mass oT the enlightened population of this country ; and those principles must, he believed, be the guide of its future councils, if the countiy was to maintain its present station amongst the nations of the w orld. When, by one of those dispensations of PROVIDENCE to which we must all how, however grievous and afflic- tive, the Sovereign and the people were deprived of the services of his lamented friend, he ( Mr. Hnskisson) was endeavouring to recruit his impaired health in a distant part of the Continent. On his return toJSngland he found that it was the most anxious desire of his Sove- reign that the councils of the country should continue to be directed in the same manner, and, as much as possible, by the . same men w ho had presided over those councils before the demise of his High I lion. Erieud, and before the illness of his lamented predecessor, Lord Liverpool. If he ( Mr. H.) had then consulted hi » own ease and comfort, or that which was more valuable, bis own health, and perhaps, the preservation of his life, he should, in prudence, and in deference lo the advice of others, and the admonitions of bis own family, have retired from public life. But he was told, from authority which made the conclusion irresistible, that if he refused to lend his poor aid to the public service, there v- onld be no possibility of accomplishing that which he knew to be ihe wish of the Sovereign and the interest of the Stale, that the affairs of the country should continue to be carried on, as far as possible, by the same men and with the same mind, which had be- fore presided over its councils. He therefore did. not hesitate to obey ihe commands of his Sovereign, because he felt that when once a man had embark* d in public life, when once he had received an assurance of that confidence which bad been conferred on him by his con. slitueutsat Liverpool, and by a greal part of the Country, and, above all, when he had received ihe commands of ihe Sovereign himself— he felt, he said, that he was not at liberty, unless on the ground of public principle or personal honour, to retire from the public service. His acceptance, therefore, of the office of Secretary of State, rendered it necessary that he should vacate bis seat. He was sure that every one would feel the difficulty in which lie was placed, standing, as be did, in the double cbaiacter of a candidate for lite representation of the people and of a Minister of the Crown. He would endeavour to steer such a course as to reconcile, as far as possible, what he owed to both these characters. When liie administration of Lord Liverpool was brought to a close, difficulties arose in the formation of a new Government unforeseen by hit* lamented friend, who received his Majesty's commands lo form an Adminis- tration. In those difficulties his friend had found it necessary to apply to some distinguished individuals belonging to a party to which he had always on many questions been opposed. But since the restoration of peace, his lamented friend's mind and his own had been directed to those measures w hieh the return of peace suggested, with a view to renovate the strength and im. piove ihe resources of the country. The- differences which had existed among parties then iu a considerable deg ree went into abeyance. When, therefore, his friend applied to a Nohie Peer — one of his earliest and most cojistant private friends, the Earl of Carlisle— and, through him, opened a coin tun mention with the Marquis of Lansdowne and others, it was on the princi- ple, distinctly understood and openly avowed, that llicir accession was to he without any departure from the principles which had governed ihe councils of the country under I he Administration of Lord Liverpool. The Catholic Question was to remain in a fiee and open slate in the, Cabinet. It was considered that there was likely to be no serious difference 011 any other point. He- hoped he had fairly stated the formation of what had been called a coalition, but what he thought was rather a fusion, which ought to. have placed all party connection in oblivion. He hoped he might he allowed to hay that there was not the smallest departure, either on his part or on Ihe part of those who had before been in office with him, from any one doctrine or principle they bad ever maintained. Very soon after the acces- sion of ihe Noble individuals he had alluded to, he was obliged to leave the country. In consequence of the loss of his lamented friend, the Cabinet was re- constructed; but still there was not the smallest change of policy. Here lie felt that it would he base- ness and injustice were he not explicitly to declare that, from the moment of his return to this country till the dissolution of that Government, there never was a Cabinet in which he sat with more satisfaction, in which there was less of difference, or a more universal desire to cultivate a perfect harmony. Men of more spotless integrity and high honour, of more moderate and consistent principles, more straight- forward and honourable than Lord Lansdowne, Lord Carlisle, and Mr. Tieruey, he never had the pleasure to know. Events took place in December, for which neither his Noble Friends nor himself were responsible, but w hich necessarily weakened the confidence of the public in the Administration. Gentlemen were aware that in that month his Majesty had occasion to request a Nobleman who had formerly been iu the Cabinet to place himself at the head of Ihe Government. From whatever circumstance that arose, it necessarily weak- ened the confidence placed in Ihe Administration. The stale of our foreign relations made it then highly desirab e that the Government should not be exhibited in the eyes of foreigners as one possessing only a tem- poiary chaiacti r, Hie effect of which would be uncer- tainly and weakness. Under these circumstances, his friend Lord Goderich, than whom a man of more spot- less virtue did not exist, fell it his duly not to compro- mise the public interests by prolonging Ihe existence of Ihe Administration. He went therefore to his Sovereign, and resigned his office. The King, feeling that he owed it to his people, and to ihe greal interests then, as still, iu a most critical slate— interests connected w . th the peace of Europe— not lo lose a moment jn presenting to the world a more stable, vigorous, and permanent- Government— sent for the Duke of Wellington. The Duke, he ( Mr. Huskis- sun) could say from his certain knowledge, was most reluctant to undertake the ta » k assigned him. lli earnest wish was to remain in the discharge of that im- portant trust for which he felt himselAnost competent. He fell it, however, his duly, U the then circumstances of llie country, to obey the coucrrriiuds of his Sovereign. He ( Mr. H.) knew that no exclusion whatever of any man or set'of men was desired by our liberal and en- lightened Monarch.— It so happened that the Duke of Wellington, after communicating with one other indi- vidual, whom no man wUuld deny to have rendered, by his talents and by hi* industry, great services to his country, he meant Mr. Peel— after offering to him a situation iu the Government, his Grace came lo him ( Mr. Huskisson). The communication made to him was in the most general terms: he was asked if there was any thing which should preclude him from taking a part in the new Government of the Dnkfe of Wellingiuo. To such an application he. could only reply, that if the Government was such as satisfied the view he took of the interests of the country, und provided such arrange- ments were made in its construction as become a pledge and a guarantee that the principles which he approved would not be departed from, he individually stood free from any party engagements which should prevent his taking a share in such Government. He went to Lord Lansdowne, and told hint what bad taken place between himself and the Duke of Wellington. Not knowing what was the Duke'n intention, lie implored Lord Lans- dowue that if any communication should be made to him from the Duke, he would consider well before he nega- tived the proposition. From what passed, he had reason lo apprehend that if any communication were made to Lord Lausdowue, he would feel himself under i.!) supei- able difficulties in accepting it; and he ( Mr. H.)- felt that it would depend on the nature of thai, communica- tion, and on the principles which should lie adopted, whether he should not purgue the same course. As he ( Mr. II.) had no hand in forming the Administration, he did not know why the Duke of Wellington went to one individual and not . to another. His Grace made, however, an offer to Lord Carlisle to remain iu the coun- cils of ihe country, in the office which he llieu filled, Lord Carlisle, having from his earliest appearance in public life acted with his party, intimated that he could not remain unless they also remained. He ( Mr. H.) un- der the circumstances, should have acted in a similar manner j but he was not in those circumstances; If he might use terms better forgotten, he must say that he never did belong to the Whig party. Had he then re- tired— all other matters being satisfactorily arranged— because the Whigs retired, he should have been identi- fied with a party io which he did not belong. At the same lime he must say, that there were no two men in the country with whom he should feel more proud and happy lo act than Lord Lansdowne and Lord Carlisle. In his interviews with the Duke of Wellington, he felt himself called upon to look lo two things— 1st, to measures; and 2* 1, to the guarantees for those measures; and also, what he had as much at heart as any thing- else, that nothing should be done by him inconsistent with his attachment and fidelity to his lamented friend, Mr. Canning. As to measures, lie first looked naturally to the foreign policy of the country, and he looked also to the commerce, the internal industry, and the colonial interests of the country. He was also hound to see that that question, which, whatever difference of opinion there might be upon it, he thought of vast importance to the permanent peace and security of the country, and to its strength in war— he meant the Catholic Question, should not be compromised, if any man could doubt his consistency, let him look at such ' men as Lord Dudley, Mr. Grant, and Mr. Lamb, on whose character he pronounced the highest eulpgium, and whose continuance in office was the most satisfactory of all guarantees thai the foreign policy and commercial system, of this country would remain unchanged, and that Ireland would be governed with the strides! impartiality. Wifhont over- rating any litile confidence which the country might he disposed to place in him, he might say, that if lie and his friends had retired, the Government would be less powerful, and less likely to gain the respect of Europe, than it would be by the fusion which had taken place. These were consider, ations which every public man was bound to attend to He was not sure thai il the Ministry for Foreign Affairs iu this country had been changed, the consequent might not have been a general war in Europe. The Right Hon. Gentleman then piaited highly the military and political character of the Duke of Wellington, and asked if any individual could be found possessing higher advantages, in the opinion of the world at large, for the head of ihe Government. He now came lo the questions which had lieeu put by his Hon. Friend, Mr Currie : and first with regard to the Corn Bill: ibis was no doubt a difficult and complicated question, but it was most assuiedly his intention to adhere lo the principles of the Corn Bill of last year, and to introduce such a Bill as should satisfy the just wishes of the country, and at the same time not prejudice the lawful interest of ihe landow ners. Further than this he could not now iu prudence say. In respect to the Assessed Taxes, he might state that, iil the year 18* 24, an aliempt was made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to introduce one rule for levying those taxes throughout the kingdom. So active an opposition was raised lo that proposal, that the measure was abandoned, though the principle was still held to be good, and be ( Mr H.) should certainly feel it his duty to bring ihe subject under consideration of Government, 10 obtain an equalization of the assessments. In regard to the Finance Committee, it would be one of the first duties which would devolve upon him, if he should have lire honour to he returned by them to Parliament, h> give his vote for the formation of such a Committee, and to lake care, in conjunction with his colleagues, and especially Mr. Peel, that the Members of il were selected from all the great parlies, looking only to those who had shown the greatest aptitude for business, the greatest attention to Ihe public interest, and the greatest desire to bring down the expenditure of the country to Ihe lowest possible amount. His Hon. Friend who had seconded the nomination had alluded lo the two subjects of the renewal of ihe charters of ihe two important Companies— the East India Company and of the Bank of England. To these subjects be should endeavour to apply the general principles which he had long professed, at the same time considering Ihe claims which those great Companies fairly had upon the country. He was strongly opposed to monopolies of any kind, and thought it highly proper that institutions which had arisen up Under different circumstances should undergo a change with the changing circumstances of me country, and that Ihe immense capital, skill, and intelligttfce of the people, should have a fair field for their employment.— lie had endeavoured whenever it was in bis power, and especially since the conclusion of ihe war, to advance gradually the interests of the country, not by rash innovation, but by steady and sober improvements. There remained still errors to correct, and imperfections to palliate or remove. He should, bear in view Ihe principles by which he had hitherlo been governed : if he were successful, he trusted he should not forfeit their good opinion ; if he failed, it was only because failure was in human infirmity. It was bis desire not lo withdraw from ihe public service whilst the little he possessed of political experience, and , his long habits of business, mighl be of any utility ; nor should he u ish to retire until his deatli compelled him to do ii, or till he had no longer the power to hear up against the obloquy and clamour which, from those interested in abuses, im- provements never failed to meet. The Rev. W. SHEPHERD said he had listened with the most anxious attention 10 the speech of ihe Right Hon. Gentleman, in the hope of hearing from him a complete and satisfactory justification of his recent conduct, and he was sorry to say, that all that the Right Hon. Gentleman had said produced so little of satisfaction to his mind that he could not, consistently with his sense of the duty he owed to himself and his brother freemen of Liverpool,, refrain from entering his proiesl against the re- election of that Right Hon. Gen- tleman, by nominating another person as a more fit Representative of this borough in Parliament. The lie v.* Gent. then proceeded to address Mr. Huskisson and the meeting at some length, appealing to them against the inconsistency of liie former iu accepting office with the revilers of Mr. Canning, and of the latter in returning; to Parliament, as their representa- tive, a gentleman who bad so treated the memory of their late favourite. The Duke of Wellington and his friends, he said, had declared themselves ihe antipode of Mr. Canning, and had treated his Administration as dangerous to both Church and State, and yet Mr, Hnskisson had united himself with those men. The Rev. Gentleman then nominated Lord Molyneux as a Candidate. Mr. HUSKISSON replied. He protested against the idea of personal hostilities being perpetuated and . turned into a ground of perpetual disunion in the pub- lic service, between men who were agreed iu the sup- porting of the same measures. He again repealed that tie had never, in the Cabinet, met with any opposition, either to his ow n free trade measures or to the foreign policy of Mr. Canning, from the Duke of Wellington ; and with respect lo Mr. Peel, the testimony of Mr. Brougham himself w ould support him in his junction with that Right Hon. Gentleman ; for Mr. B had ac- knowledged lliat if Mr. Peel and he were separately questioned upon fifty of the leading- points ol public policy, their answers. would be found to agree upon at least forty- nine; and, for his own part, there was but one question— that ot the Catholic claims— upon which lie had ever differed from him. lu conclusion, he. put it lo Ihe Rev. Gentleman's good laste and discretion, whether he would persevere iu unnecessarily going lo a poll for Lord Molynenx, who was most probably unaware . of such an i . teutiou— and for whom he enier- tained feelings of respect and esteem, which would render it a matter of regret to him that they should meet on those hustings iu any other position bui that of concurrence. FRANCE. Official copy of the Speech of the King of France, delivered on the 5th February, ou the opening of the Session of the Chambers :— " Gentlemen,— It is always with the same satisfaction that I see yon assembled about my Throne, and that I come to lay before yoti ihe situation of France. " My relations with the powers of Europe continue to bfc amicable and satisfactory. The affairs of the Easi alone offer some difficulties ; but the treaty 1 have signed with the King of England and the Emperor of Russia, has laid the foundation of the pacification of Greece, and I have still reason to hope that the efforts of uiv allies and my own will overcome, without the employment of force, the resistance of the Ottoman Porte. The unforeseen combat of Navarino has been at Once an occasion to give glory to our arms, and the most striking pledge of the union of the three flags. 41 The Peninsula has long been the cause of sacrifices to us ; they are drawing lo a conclusion. Spain, being- secure upon her frontiers, perseveringly exerts herself in order lo stifle iu her bosom the deplorable germs of civil discord ; every thing indicates that I shall very soon be able, in concert with the King, mv nephew, to restore uiy soldiers to their country, and lo relieve my people from a severe burden. " A rigorous blockade, which will not terminate till the day on which I shall have received the satisfaction Which is due to me, restrains and punishes Algiers, and protects French commerce. " On distant shores, and under the uncertain sway of infant Governments, our flag has experienced some ads of aggression ; but I have ordered just indemnity to be required, and have prescribed measuies which w" henceforth protect the fortunes of my subjects from all injury. 4< If I am thus able, Gentlemen, to look with satis- faction upon our external affairs, ihe internal situation of my kingdom does not afford me fewer grounds of security. " You will perceive, by the documents which will he laid before you, that if the produce of the several taxes has undergone some diminution, the sources of public ealth have not experienced any durable alteration. Extraordinary circumstances have led lo an excessive expeudifuie, for which it will be necessary lo protide. ~ have ordered my Ministers to lay the particulars of them before you, and have enjoined them to have con- stantly in view a strict and judicious economy. " I have called my son to take part in the military promotions. The army will see iu this new arrange- ment the most decided proof of every good will towards it. " The progressive developement of commerce and manufactures, which are the glory of pacific stales, has increased their wants, and calls for more numerous channels for ihe disposal of their produce. I have resolved that a Minister, appointed for their interest, shall be specially charged to propose to me everything that may'he calculated to secure their continually in- creasing activity. However intimate the connection may be which should exist between religion and the education of mankind., public instruction and ecclesiastical affairs have appeared to me to require a separate direction: and I have accordingly oidered them to be divided. Desiring to consolidate more and more in my dominions the Charter which was granted by my brother, and which I have sworn to maintain, I shall take care that measures be pursued, with wisdom and mature deliberation, to make our legislation harmonise with it. u Some important questions of public administration have been pointed out to my attention. Being con vinced that the real strength of thrones, under the Divine protection, is in the observance of the laws, have ordered these questions lo be thoroughly investi- gated, that the discussion of them may make manifest the truth, which is the first want or princes and people. 41 Gentlemen, the happiness of France is Ihe object of all my wishes and of all my thoughts. To secure it I shall know how to maintain the strong and tutelary authority which belongs lo my Crown. S rely also, Gentlemen— I rely greatly on the assistance of your wisdom, and the harmony of your sentiments. The voice of your King, calling for the union of men of worth, cannot find here any but hearts disposed to hear and to answer it." iStissccUanrcue Emclligntfc. has r Ihe WHITEHALL, FEBRUARY 4— The King been pleased to direct a letter to be passed undei Seat appointed by ihe Treaty of ihe Union to be made use of, in place of Ihe Great Seal of Scotland, nominating and appointing his Grace George Duke of Gordon, G C B lo be Keeper of the said Seal.

The King has been pleased to appoint Vice- Admiral Sir William Johnstone Hope, G. C. B. Vice- Admiral the Right Hon Sir George Coc kburn, G C. B. Sir George Clerk, Bart, and George Charles Pratt, Esq. ( commonly called Earl of Brecknock), to he Members of the Council of his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom. The King has been pleased to direct letters- patent to be passed under ihe Great Seal, granting to Col. Sir Henry Mardinge, K. C. B Ihe office of Clerk of the Ordnance of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The following particulars complete the statement already published, of the actual distribution of the Forces returning- from Portugal. The Waggon Train and Staff corps are to be landed in the Thames. The 1st Battalion 60th Foot will land at Cork, and the Depot Companies have been oi dered to embark at Devonport, to join the corps at Cork. The 4th Foot is to proceed to Leith, and the 63d to Chatham. The 28th Regiment at Corfu is expected to be or- dered home on the arrival there of the 11th Regi- ment from Portugal. The 85th Regiment, which was moved from Malta to Gibraltar when the forces went to Portugal, is to return to its former station, beiug relieved by the 23d and 43d Regiments. The Rev. W. SHBPHERD consented lo the withdrawing of his nomination, and Mr. Huskisson was declared to be duly elected. THE BRITISH OAK.— The following remark, by Ihe late Lord Collingvvood, is worthy of the true English sailor, who had kept at sea the gieater purl of his life, and, on one occasion, for the space of twenty- two months, without relief or intermission! u What I aai most anxious about is the plantation of oak in the country. We shall never cease to be a greal people while we have ships, which we cannot have without limber ; and thai is not planted, because people are unable to play at cards next year with the produce of it. I PLANT AN OAK WHENEVER I HAVE A PLACE TO PUT IT IN." A question was asked by Lord William Powlelt in the House of Commons on Monday, which is not mentioned in any of the papers, because there was such a noise iu the houseat the time that it could not be heard in the gallery. It related ! o a rumour of iis being the intention of government to make a pecuniary compensation lo the Porte for the destruction of ils fleet. Lord Palmerston declared that government had no such intention. Wednesday a Court of Directors was held al the East India House, when Colonel Charles Dallas took the usual oath on being appointed Governor of St. Helena. Capt. Sir Charles Malcolm, R. N. C. B. also took ihe oath on being appointed Superintendent of the Bombay Marine. The Colonel and Sir Charles afterwards dined with the Directors al ihe London Tavern. " Last week the Rev. John Kynaston Charlelon, B. A. of Qojjeu's Covlege, Oxford, was collated by the Right Rev. Lord Bishop of Bristol to the Vicarage of El- berlon, in ihe county of Gloucester. DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.— During the heavy gale of wind on Thursday se'nnight, a house was blown down at Ipslones, near Leek: the wretclud inmates, five in number, were buried in the mins. One man, much bruised, escaped with his life; hut we are sorry lo say that the other persons, two men and two women, were killed ou the spot. The tene- ment had long been in a very dilapidated stale,— Stockport Advertiser. The Law Officers of the Crown have just decided on a most important circumstance connected with duelling. In ihe recent affair between Mr. Charles H. Archdall and Mr. Henry Langley, Henry Alcork, Esq. a magistrate of the county and city of Water- ford, hound over the first named gentleman in a bond of £ 500, and two sureties of £' 250 each, to keep the peace. The parties proceeded to Ihe County of Kil- darc, and fought. Mr. Chief Secretary Lamb has now diiectcd the magistrate to iclwrn Mr Archdall's recognizances as forfeited lo the Excheqaer, in order 1 hat immediate proceedings be taken against that gentleman and his bail. ASSASSINATION OF MR. STEPHENS, IN INDIA. — The Supplement lo ihe Bombay Courier, of 29th September, contains the part iculars of I he assassination of Mr. Stephens, the British Agent to Ihe Governor General on I he Gerhodda at Leonee:— 44 On 17 th August, two Mahommcdans were brought before Mr. Stephens, charged with having entered ihe house of a married man, at Chuppt rnh, in prosecution of an intrigue with his wife, when they were delected, and secured by the brother of the woman, and sent under guard to Leonee. After- investigating ihe case, Mr. Stephens declared his purpose of sentencing ihe offenders to a term of confinement, when one of them snatched up a dagger that happened to be 011 the table, and wounded Mr Stephens wit. lv il deep below the left ribs. The other seized a tulwar, several of which weapons were in Court, in connection with some other cause, and wounded ihe Moonshee slightly. The culprits then attempted to escape, but were pursued, and it appears were both killed by the Police Feons, Mr. Stephens suffered much pain, and expired the same night about ten o'clock. The loss of Mr. Stephens is much regretted,' as he was not only an active officer, but had won the regard and confidence of the natives in his jurisdiction. Captain Ward law, we understand, principal assistant at Narsinhipore, had been despatched by MR Maddock Leonee, to institute a full inquiry into the oecu rrence." FIRE IN A COLLIERY.— We understand the colliery of Whitehill, south from Hawthorndean, near Edinburgh, was lately discovered to be on fire, in the wastes, or old workings, of the great coal seam, which is about eight feet thick. This accident is supposed to have arisen from spontaneous ignition, occasioned by ihe pyrites ( or brasses, as Ihe miners term them), which are mixed with ihe coal rubbish, having become wet and produced a decomposition, which generates fire. The decomposition has, probably, been going on for many mouths past, but the actual ignition was only discovered two weeks ago. Mr. Dewar, the manager of the collierv, with much promptitude, conducted water from ihe shaft of one of the pits, by pipes, to ihe burning mass, and extinguished a part of the fire, but the superincumbent rock strata were found to be red hot, and the healed sulphureous air is so intolerable, that ihis mode of extinguishing Ihe fire has been abandoned, and preparations are now making lo fill Ihe wastes with water above the height of Ihe burning mass. Il happens fortunately that Ihe fire is completely disjoined from the main workings of the colliery, so that the general operations, and the usual delivery of coal, w ill in no degree be interrupted ; and there is no apprehension of the fire extending lo ihe main body of the eight feel coal, which is uuwrought. To ordinary ears a fire in a coal pit sounds very alarming 5 bul ihe truth is, that such accidents are by no means uncommon, and in general are not productive of any very disastrous effects. They are of frequent occur rente iu the district of Dudley, iu Siaffoidshire, where this kind of ignition is termed Ihe 44 breeding fire." Il may surprise some persons lo be informed thai there has been a fire in Ihe Johnstone colliery, near Paisley, for more than twenty years, and Ihe miners there pursue their labours in the immediate vicinity of the burning materials, which aie insulated or dis- joined from the new workings by stone walls made air light with the plaster of lime. Dysart colliery^ in Fife, has been frequently on fire from the same cause ; and ihe Kilkcrran collitry, iu Ayrshire, has been iu this state for nearly a century. The greatest danger in such cases, is not from the fire itself, but the deleterious air, which is sometimes of such a quality as to s lspetid or injure animal life, without ex- tinguishing the flame of a candle, which is the lest by which the * miner judges of ils noxious qualities. Caution is of course required on this account, in entering those parts of Ihe workings to which the vapours reach — Leeds Mercury. SINGLE SPEECHES.— The most extraordinary single speech in the whole range of Parliamentary debates, whether we look to the effects which il produced, or I he speech itself, is that spoken in the reign of Cbarless II. by the Earl of Carnarvon, on the proposed commitment of Lord Dauby. The Duke of Buckingham, who was the instigator of the impeach- ment against that nobleman, first made the earl half tipsy, and then persuaded him into a high opinion of his great talents for public speaking. The duke was well aware, that the Earl of Carnarvon was a sworn friend to Lord Dauby j and expected, thai if he could once get ihe earl to speak in his behalf, he would be guilty of some folly which would equally commit both his friend and himself. He, therefore, urged the earl to undertake Lord D.' s defence, 44 not from any favour to the Lord Treasurer," as the parliamentary historian says, 44 but only from ridicule." The earl, consequently, stood up in his place, and delivered himself to ibis effect: — 44 My lords, I understand but little of Latin, but a good deal of English, and i/ ot a little of ihe English history, from which I have learnt the mischief of such kind of prosecutions as these, and the ill fate of the prosecutors. I could bring many in- stances, and ihose very ancient, but, my lords, 1 shall go no further back than I be latter end of Queen Eliza- beth's reign 5 at which time the Earl of Essex was run down by Sir Walter Raleigh. My Lord Bacon he ran down Sir W. Raleigh, and your lordships know what became of my Lord Bacon The Duke of Bucking- ham he ran down my Lord Bacon, and your lordships know what happened to the Duke of Buckingham. Sir T. Wentwoilb, afterwards Earl of Strafford, ran down the Duke of Buckingham, and you all know what became of him Sir Harry Vane, he ran down the Earl of Strafford, and your lordships all know what became of Sir Harry Vane. Chancellor Hyde, he ran down Sir Harrv Vane, and your, lordships know whai became of the Chancellor. Sir Thomas Osborne, now Earl of Dauby, ran down Chancellor Hyde: but what will become of ihe Earl of Danby, your loidships best can tell. But let me see that man that dare run ihe Earl of Danby down, and we shall soon see what will become of him." The parliamentary historian adds, that this specch, being pronounced with a icmarkable humour and tone, both surprised and disappointed the Duke of Buckingham, who, after his way, cried out, 44 The man is inspired ! claret has done the business." The house divided; and their lordships, frightened by ihe fate which had regularly befalle n the prominent inoveis in all former impeachments, decided against the commitment of the Earl of Danhy. The Commons complained that in so doing the Lords denied them justice. COTTON. MILL BURNED.— On Thursday sc'nnighl, a fire broke out ill the cotton- mill at Johnstone, belonging to Mr. Alexander Steward, of ( ilasgow, u hich, in an hour and a quarter, was totally consumed. The fire broke out in the picking. room, being the lowest flat of the building, and so quick was the devouring clement, that before the fire was known lo those in tile allies, the whole of Ihe tenement, which consisted of three stories and attics, was in a blaze, and flames bursting at Ihe same lime front all the windows. The persons employed iu the allies were, in consequence of Ihe smuke and flames coming up the stairs, prevented from effecting their escape iu thai way. The cries of Ihe people thus situated were *' iug in Ihe extreme ^ many of them precipitated themselves from Ihe windows, and altho' thespeclalors were extremely anxious to render every assistance, Ihe flames raged with such fury, that assistance was impracticable. Six persons, it is believed, lost their lives 011 Ihis melancholy occasion— four grown- up women and two girls; and a few were hurt by escap- ing from the windows. STEAM NAVIGATION.— Our readers may form some idea of the immense traffic carried on with steam- packets from the under- mentioned statement :— The total tuiinage of vessels reported at our Custom house, fiom Ihe 2f> ih Dccetnbtr, 1827, to the 24th January, 1S28, is 70,812 tons, and of this amoiiul 15,731 tons arc steam- packets, being above one fillh of Ihe whole tonnage of the port ; and it is a gratify, iug fad thai Ihis is not an isolated abstract, as, during Ihe half year ending 24lh December, 1827, these eligible conveyances fully maintained the same proportion when compared with Ihe general trade. It is also proper to remark, that the vessels carrying passengers only are no! included, as Ihe tonnage ap- plies to the vessels employed iu carrying cuigo.— Liverpool Albion. BRUTAL ATTACKS UPON PROTESTANTS.— On the night of the 26th ult. a posse of Papists, about 50 io number, repaired to a house near the Rock Chapel, four miles from Lisburn, for the purpose, as they alleged, of holding a dance, to which two of their unsuspecting Protestant neighbours were invited. Matters went on pretty smoothly li| l about nine o'clock, when the Protestants observed an indignant sulkiuess louring on the countenances of their Catholic associates. The cause was for some time inexplicable, till the angry indications of approach- ing danger sufficiently assured them that they had fallen in with a party of Ribbonruen. Some spirit, less ferocious than the rest, silently admonished them to make a quiet retreat, if they valued their lives. This hint was complied with, but not till half- suppressed threats had begun to circulate through the assembly. After they had quitted the house, they were pursued, and beaten in a brutal manner, by some of the party. Those who had remained in the house, on hearing the noise, rushed out to assist their companions. The scene was terrible; but in the darkness of the night and the confusion, the Protestants, with difficulty, escapcd by leaping over a ditch.— One of the Uibbonmeu fell, and two of his own party, not knowing in the dark the difference between a heretic and a sound believer, so violently struck him on the head with stones as to dash his skull to pieces. He lived till the 20th inst. in a state of extreme torture, when he expired. An inquest was subsequently held on the body, and a verdict of wilful murder was returned against John and Robert Jordan, who have ab- sconded. Prior to the death of the unfortunate man, Mr. Crofton, chief constable of the Lisburu police, had made every effort to arrest the indivi- duals above named, but without effect. From the unwearied energy of his character, we hope they will not long elude the grasp ofjustice. This is a precious instance of Catholic kindness, and ill the province of Ulster too!— The correspondent from whom we received the circumstantials of the above relation, adds, that a few weeks ago, a Komau Catholic named Charles Lavery, who lived atBrooni- hedge, about five miles from Lisburit, ill the direc- tion of Moira, had some trifling dispute with a Protestant named John Collins. In the course of the altercation, Lavery went away, and in a few minutes returned with a large shoemaker's knife, which he plunged into the belly of Collins. By a special providential interposition, his life was saved, though he still lies dangerously ill, and bis final recovery is uncertain. Through the activity of Mr. Crofton, Lavery has been apprehended and committed to Carrickfergus for trial at the ensuing; assizes.—' Belfast A'eic. « Letter. ALEXANDER'S TOME— It is not generally known, that the tomb of Alexander the Great is now dev posited in the British Museum. Where the body itself of that celebrated warrior has been removed, is altogether uncertain. After his death, the greatest care was taken of his remains. A golden chase- work encircled the corpse, surrounded with an en- velope of the same metal, enclosed in a purple vest- ment. His superb armour covered all. The body, after two years' preparation for a magnificent funeral, was borne in a splendid car, from Babylon to Alex- andria, and deposited in a tomb, which Ptolemy had prepared for the remains of his deified master, w ho was ever after deemed the thirteenth God of the Egyptians. His tomb itself became the object of worship with the Corabiasis. Augustus Carsar, three centuries after his decease, viewed the body of the hero, which was then entire, and adorned his tomb with flowers, as an offering due to his deified spirit. Septimius Severu3 likewise visited it 2C2 years after the death of Christ. Caligula robbed the dead monarch of his breast- plate, aud adorned his own unworthy person with the venerable relic. — Pious Mahometans paid to the tomb a kind of re- verence, bordering on idolatrous worship, and for a long period of time, prohibited all Christians from approaching the place. The French invaders, how- ever robbed the Turks, Mamelukes, and Copts, of this singular relic, and conveyed it on board one of their ships, in the hold of which it was fouud, when Alexandria was surrendered to the Irish General Hutchinson, in the year 1801. The tomb itself is of singular and astonishing beauty, elegantly sculp- tured over with innumerable hieroglyphics, perfectly distinct. It is formed from a single block of p imi— tive conglomerate stone ( resembling that which lies under the second porphyry formation), and about feu feet and an inch in iengh, four iu height, and five ill its medium, breadth. Hoiv vain are the cares of man! This stone, designed to cover for ever the remains of the Macedonian Prince, and lo point out to remotest posterity the spot where they were de- posited, exists, far from its original site, in perfect preservation, whilst not the most minute particle of the body itself can be found, arid even the name of the man who removed it from its sacred deposit, the lone and narrow house of death, cannot be traced in the page of history. The works of the humble artist endure, when the empire erected by the proud and mighty sovereign has crumbled infb- atoms, and the dust of his deified body been scattered by the w inds of heaven. He for whose ambitiou the whole globe was loo narrow a sphere of action— he who wept because there was but one world to con- quer and to rule, has been denied in death the permanent enjoyment of a portion of earth com- mensurate merely to his lifeless corpse. He who claimed Jove for his sire, the gods for his brethren, and the heavens for his habitation, has not even been permitted to rest in peace with his " kindred worin !" SHOCKING ACCIDENT.— On Friday last ( 28tlr December) an accident occurred at Cooperslowu, at the execution of Levi Kelly, for the murder of Abraham Spofard, which has no parallel in the history of accidents on such occasions— A very great concourse assembled to witness the execution ; and a platform had bee u erected by Mr. Griffin, keeper of the hotel, for the accommodation of spectators. The platform, which was a sort of amphitheatre, was built near the scaffold, upou upright posts placed in the ground. It was of considerable length anil width, aud was crowded wilh people. It i9 estimated that 2,0C0 persons were upon it. Owing lo the in- clemency of ihe weather, nearly ail equal number hail assembled under it. When Kelly was taken fron » prison, and, surrounded by the sheriff'and guard, was. approaching the scaffold, the crowd upon the platfornt instinctively leaned forward to see the prisoner and the ceremony; when Ihe entire mass moved forward, and fell to the ground, carrying wilh it all ils oc- cupants, aud crushed such beneath it as could not escape.— Fortunately its course w as horizontal; bad it been d'reel, hundreds must have been immediately killed. As il was, report stales variously the deati* of from five lo ten persons. Mr, Tracy, the engra- ver, was instantly killed. Mr. Williams diid the same evening. A woman and a child were also killed. More than this, we have no knowledge of, except by report. Many were wounded; aud several so se- verely, that it was not heliivid thej would survive.— In the midsl of ihe confusion caused by this disaster, Kelly was executed. He met his fate wilh a sullen indifference.— American Paper. BANKRUPTS, FFB. 5.— William Paynes and John BAY ties,- of Paleruiixter- row, booksellers — Thai.
