THE SALISBURY AND WINCHESTER JOURNAL, AND GENERAL ADVERTISER OF WILTS, HANTS, DORSET, AND SOMERSET. NUMBER 5562 VOLUME CVIII. MONDAY, MARCH 3, 1828. PRICE SEVEN- PENCE. I » TAM'' ^ l Paper and 1 nnt 3d Monday's and Tuesday's Posts. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, Feb. 21. WE yesterday published the Manifesto of the Ottoman Porte. This unexpected docu- ment fills every class of readers with surprise— Moniteur. Feb. 22 Public attention has been greatly excited by the new face which the affairs of the East appear to as- sume since the letters from Constantinople of the 11th January. It had been hoped, from the united efforts of the Austrian Internuncio and the Prussian Minister, that the three Powers, parties to the Treaty of London, • would not be led to anv offensive measure against the Ottoman Porte.— The Manifesto which has appeared at Constantinople excites fears that their hopes will vanish. News has arrived from Alexandria to the 15th of De- cember. At that time there was the most perfect tran- quillity in Egypt. The Viceroy had repeated to the foreign Consuls the promise that their countrymen should be respected in their persons and properties. The Egyptian Government lias freighted twenty- five French ships, to carry to Marseilles the cotton produce of the last season. • ' . TRIESTE, Feb. 12.— A vessel, which has arrived to- dav from Alexandria, brings word that some days previ- ous to its departure from that port, 40 Egyptian vessels had arrived from Navarino. The two large men- of- war are said to have cast anchor at Aboukir; no other details have been received. . . MARSEILLES, Feb. 15.— Never have commercial inte- rests been more paralysed— never, during the wars of the empire, did it happen, that in the port of quarantine at Pomegue there was bu t one ship, as is the case at present : nor is there one at Dieu Donne. If the convoy from the Levant does not arrive before the end of the month, all the harbours and quarantine stations will be quite . empty ; and thus there will be a dearth of merchandize, ho letting of stores, no labour for porters, or any oilier class of workmen. Ship- building goes oil slowly ; there are few Carpenters, caulkers, or sail- makers in employment. Tliev are getting on very slowly with the building of a frigate of sixty guns for the Pacha of Egypt, which, ac- cording to appearance, will nofrbe finished before April. London, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, WINDSOR, Sunday.—' This forenoon the King, with his household attendants, heard divine service in the Royal Lodge; the Rev. Mr. Seymour officiated. It is said that the King will leave the Royal Lodge on Monday, the 3d of March, for St. James's Palace, where it is expected he will remain until the Easter holidays, when he will return to the Royal Lodge. His Majesty, it is said, is anxious for the Completion of his suite of apartments at the Castle, which are expected to be ready for his receptian in May next. The Moniteur of Thursday contains at full length a Manifesto of the Ottoman Porte respecting the interference of the Allies in the affairs of Greece. This Manifesto may be considered a real declaration of war, rendering concession on the part of Turkey hopeless, depriving the mediating Powers of all pretence fur sup- porting iier cause, and affording toiler enemies a sufficient j ustification of attack or invasion. As if resolved to pro- voke hostilities from the quarter most eager to begin the conflict, the Porte accuses Russia of being her persevering enemy— of invading her dominions for unjust conquest— of exciting her Greek subjects to revolt, and of seducing her European allies into an armed interference. The Sultan accounts for his not immediately overwhelming the insurrection of the Greeks, by the disorganized state of his army and the dilapidation of his naval arsenals at its commencement; and justifies his continued refusal to reward their successful rebellion by political indepen- dence, bv declaring his belief that their emancipation would only be the first step in a system of encroachments which would end in the destruction of the Mussulman faith and the overthrow of the Ottoman dominion. The complaints against Russia do not end here. The treaty of Ackermann had been, it is said, extorted by that Power, and ought not to have been executed ; while the treaty of London, which was her work, was enforced by the Allied squadrons, sent to the Mediterraneon without a justifiable pretence, and by the battle of Navarino fought without a declaration of war. The Porte considers these measures as acts of open hostility; and he refrained from lmme. jliauly . xuulm t>, » m hy imnrisnmnir >!"> Allied Am- bassadors, or confiscating the property of the Allied sub- jects in Turkey, in order to gain time to make her resent- ment more effective. If the Allies desist from their Unjust demands, tliey may still have pence; but if they persist in them, war is denounced as inevitable. And war thus threatened is described as of the most mo mentous importance, involving not only the fate of a single province, but of a whole empire— not only the existence of the Turkish dominion, but of the Mussul- man faith. All the Faithful are therefore called upon to rallv round the standard of the Prophet, as they value the honour of their Government and the glory of their religion, the independence of their race, and their happi- ness in this life and th » next. The Gazette de France of Saturday expresses a hope that flesh efforts or. the part of the Austrian Cabi- net, and the blockade of the Dardanelles by the three European squadrons, will still induce the Divan to re- consider its decision. It also announces the important, fact, that " Austria and Prussia have cordially jollied the three Powers who signed the Treaty ;" if this announce- ment is founded in fact, the conflict will really prove to he, as the Manifesto prophetically asserts, between Islam- ism and Christianity. The Turkish Manifesto, as if is called, has excited the greatest interest among all classes of persons in die City. Many are, however, inclined to doubt the authenticity of the document altogether, and others attach Jnuch less importance to it, supposing it genuine, than its contents would appear to warrant. The document is dis- believed by the Turkey merchant*— Morning Herald. It is reported that a treaty has been entered into between Russia and Prussia, and that the latter Power lias engaged to use her best offices to induce the Turk to acknowledge the independence of Greece. Mercantile advices from Vienna, to the 16th instant, have been received in the City. The Austrian funds at that date remained steady. Should the Russian General Wittgenstein pass the Pruth, the first encounter with the Vizier and the Turkish army will probably take place at Shumla, which is about 227 niili- 3 from Constantinople. This is the gate of tiie Balkan range, and the Thermopylæ of the Turks. On this spot, in every previous contest, the Grand Vizier pitched his camp; and beyond this place the Russians have never penetrated. The blockade of tilt! Dardanelles would cut off all supplies from the capital, while the command of the Black Sea would facilitate the march of the Russians. Letters from Paris say that the new French Ministry cannot hold together much longer. They have already been defeated in the Chamber of Deputies in the election of a President. Accounts are received from Chili to the 29th of October; they are very unfavourable. The country is represented to be in a state of complete confusion, and the Government without energy. It is said that troops will be immediately sent from Portugal to the Morea. It is stated in the City that 5000 men are immediately to be sent to Bombay, an arrangement for that purpose between Government and the India Com- pany being complied. The Marquis of Anglesea lefttown on Satur- day, on his way to Ireland. On Saturday last Sir Christopher Robinson Was 6worn in Judge of the Admiralty Court. Lord Liverpool sent 100/. on Friday towards the erection of the monument to the memory of Mr. Canning. Lord Wharncliffe is chairman of the com- mittee of Peers now sitting on the Game Laws. Lord Albert, second son of the Marquis Co- nyngham, is appointed Secretary of Legation, under Lord Burghersh at Florence. Mr. Lushington, Governor of Madras, ar- rived there on the 17th October. Lady Burdett is seriously indisposed in the south of Prance.. On the arrival of the intelligence. Dr. Mackinnon left town, on Friday afternoon, to travel with all speed, for the purpose of attending her Ladyship to England.

IN a variety of complaints incidental to Children, the external and internal administration of Sea- Water is admitted to be most efficacious and indis- pensable. Such a course requires time, during which the Education of Children ought not to be neglected. To combine the ob jects of Health and Education, the Misses CHUBB have opened a SEMINARY, at WEYMOUTH, for YOUNG LADIES. Without presuming to exercise any medical judgment, they engage to follow the direc- tions of the Parents and Professional Men to whom the health of their Pupils shall be confided ; they also pro- mise the strictest attention to their Education. It is needless to point out the advantage which such an Estab- lishment offers to Persons who, from business or other causes are prevented from travelling so far with ( heir Children, for the attainment of health.

MONDAY, Feb- 25 Numerous petitions were pre- sented from bodies of Protestant Dissenters in various parts of the kingdom, praying for a repeal of the Test iir. d Corporation Acts. On the motion of Lord Wharncliffe, Mr. Henry Hunt is to be ordered to attend and give evidence on the Game Laws Committee. The Marquis of Clanricard: called their Lordships' attention to the declaration made at Liverpool by the Se- cretary for the Colonies ( Mr. Huskisson), in whicli he adverted to the enemies of the late Mr. Canning, and to the inconsistency of the Right Hon. Gentleman's conduct as regarded that declaration. He ( the noble Marquis) would not now have troubled their Lordships again on this subject, but that the Right Hon. Secretary had de- nied in part what lie ( noble Marquis) had before stated to their Lordships. The Earl of Dudley said that this was a question which ought not to be discussed in Parliament. It was not the province of Parliament to inquire whether the friends of 11 deceased Statesman had or had not conducted themselves with proper delicacy and proper feeling in accepting of office, wi til persons among whom any unfriendly feelings towards him had grown up. Lord Seaford said, that in consequence of what had fallen from the noble Marquis ( Clanricarde), he could not avoid making a few observations, in justice to his noble f. iend ( the Earl of Dudley) and the other col- leagues of his late Right Hon. friend, at present mem- bers of the existing Administration. After expatiating on the high and enviable state in which Mr. Canning had left the affairs of this country at his death, the noble Lard ( Seaford) concluded with saying— That the glorious course of my late Right Hon. friend's foreign policy will be followed up by his successor, we have a hope, and indeed a warrant, in my Noble friend's retention of the direction of the foreign policy of the empire. Then, as to the Right Hon. gentleman at the head of the Home Office, his sentiments, and the manner in which he has expressed them, reflect the greatest credit on his candour i that Right Hon. gentleman has declared, that there was not one measure of my late Right Hon. friend in which he did not concur, with the exception of the Catholic Question. Their Lordships will remember Mr. Can- ning's offer of office to the noble Duke and the friends who retired with him, coupled with his ( my late Right Hon. friend's) assurance that the Government should con- tinue to be conducted on the principle of Lord Liverpool's. After this, I can see no reason why the noble Duke may not consistently make a similar offer to the friends of Mr. Canning, nor why they should not as consistently accept it. As to any objections arising from private feelings, I consider that my Right Honourable friends ought to hold tltem subordinate to their public duty. For myself I do not think that the noble Duke would first offer them situations in his Government, and afterwards ask them to abandon their principles; and if such an attempt should be made to induce my noble and Right Hon. friend* to compromise their principles, they would have the remedy in their own hands, namely, the power of retiring from office, and I have no doubt would instantly cxercisc it. In line, I am sure the noble Duke will con- duct his Administration 011 the principles ef my late Right Hon friend ; anil in that event I shall be ready to lend him my humble but cordial support. The Duke of Wellington said, that in his opinion the discussion introduced by the noble Marquis was entirely unnecessary, and one which, in propriety and good feeling, ought to have been let alone. ( Cheers.) For liis own part, the noble Duke said, he had never enter- tained either personal hostility, or political hostility, against the government of Mr. Canning; so that lie claimed a right not to be considered among the number of his enemies. lie however hoped that, for the sake of the public business, and of the character of public inen, tbey might have no more discussions on this unfortunate subject.— Adjourned. TUESDAY, Feb. 26.— The House met at five o'clock. A great number of petitions were presented from different places, praying for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. At half- past five the House adjuurned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, Feb. 25.— A great number of petitions were presented, praying for a repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. Mr. M. A. Taylor presented a petition from the Mayor and Corporation of Durham, against the duties on Receipt Stamps. Tile Hon. Member expressed his con- currence in the views of the petitioners, and said he thought there ought to be no duty for receipts under twenty pounds. A similar petition was presented from the inhabitants of Lincoln. Mr. Hume presented a petition from a large number of the most respectable and influential of the Roman Catho- lics of Ireland, praying in strong terms for the repeal of the Sub- letting Act. The House having resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, Sir George Clerke moved the grant of 2,201,2321. ISs. fljd. for the naval service for the year 11128. After some discussion on the propriety of the estimates, the House resumed, and the Chairman reported progress. On the bringing up of the Report 011 the Army Esti- mates, Sir John Brydges adverted to the questionable policy of the disbanding of the Yeomanry. Lord Palmerston took upon himself the fullest share of responsibility for his participation in this step. It had realized a saving of no less than 8( 1,000/. a- year to the public; a saving effected without the sacrifice of any one of the most efficient corps in the Yeomanry service, for they were still retained. The report was then read, and the resolution that 91,075 men be granted for the service of the year was read a first time. An amendment, moved by Mr. Waithman, that the vote should be reduccd 10,000 men, was negatived with- out a division. The other resolutions were then carried. Mr. Tennyson moved the second reading of the East Retford Disfranchisement Bill. In 3 discussion which took place upon this measure, Mr. Peel expressed his objection to that part of the bill which transferred the elective franchise to Birmingham. He however would not object to its second reading. The bill was then read a 2d time— Adjourned. TUESDAY, Feb. 2fi— A number of petitions having been presented against the Test and Corporation Acts, Lord John Russell rose to move the repeal of those measures. He stated that the last time the question was brought forward, it was introduced by Mr. Fox; but notwithstanding his eloquence and strength of argument, his proposition was rejected by the House. A great rhtinge, however, had since taken place in publicopinion ; as a proof of which, in the year 17! t0, the Common Coun- cil and Court of Aldermen of London passed resolutions against the repeal of those Acts, while in the present day the same bodies had petitioned Parliament in their favour. The principle lie ( Lord John Russell) advocated was, that there should be no restriction, save that whicli was directed by the 5th Geo. IV., which declares that no man shall be obliged to undergo any further test than that of " swearing faith and true allegiance to our Sove- reign Lord King George the Fourth." I am unable ( said Lord J. R.) to conceive how any one making the slightest pretension to sincerity, and to com- mon sense, can bring himself to affirm that the Dissenters are unworthy to be trusted 1 This Act requires of them that they shall partake of the Sacramcnt of the Lord's Supper;— the most solemn ordinance of our Church is thus used for a party purpose. I cannot admit that the security of the Church is founded upon such exclusion as that contemplated by the Statutes under consideration. For my own part I most cordially subscribe to the opinion of Bishop Kennet, that the established religion of Eng- land exists, not in consequence of such protections as the Test and Corporation Acts, but because it is really scriptural; because, by its general moderation, its fair and temperate character, its decent and impressive ordi- nances, it. is suited to the feelings and wants of the minority of the people. If we look to the legislation of Italy, of Austria, and other Continental States, we find no such strange and in- tolerably anomally, as is experienced in this country. In'Austria, which is a Catholic State, although the Pro- testant Dissenters profess a religion repugnant to the es- tablished religion of the country, no opposition is on that account made to their admission to civil offices. Uufor- tunatelv, a contrary policy is pursued in England, and the Protestant Dissenters have been waiting— patiently, but in vain waiting— duiing a space of eighty- nve years, lor tardy justice. I think an alteration in these laws most loudly called for— most imperatively demanded at our hands— the rather as their repeal will tend to render the Dissenters more attached to the Constitution, and more willing to bear, with cheerfulness, their proportion of the burdens imposed for the maintenance of the Church and State, great as they are. I advocate the repeal of these laws, because I am convinced their abolition will materially tend to allay the bitterness of party and reli- gious feeling, and contribute to the promotion of harmony and good will among the different classes of his Majesty's subjects. But, Sir, above all, I urge the repeal of these enactments, because I am satisfied that their repeal will suit the tone an i spirit of the present time, and is loudly called for by the progress of events. It is with consider- able pain I have heard it insinuated, that it is the inten- tion of the Members of the new Administration to make the present a Government question, and to array the whole weight of their power and influence against it. Of the illustrious person now at the head nf the councils of the country, it is impossible to speak in terms of com- mendation beyond his deserts. He is the preserver of Portugal— the deliverer of Spain— the conqueror of Wa- terloo— ill a word, one of the greatest chiefs this country has ever produced. All will be ready to admit lie has entitled himfelf to the gratitude— to the admiration— to the respect— perhaps I might add, to the veneration of liis country. All this, Sir, I concede; no man can have a higher opinion of the noble Duke than myself. He is now placed in a situation of unexampled power and in- fluence ; he holds the patronage of the Church and State in one hand, while with the other lie holds the patronage and controulofan army of 110,000 fighting men attached to his person— devoted to his glory— by the remembrance of many past victories. Besides all this, he enjoys the c wfidence— I had almost said he possesses the authority— of his Sovereign, in as great a degree as he partakes of tile gratitude add admiration of his country. Such is the Situation of the noble Duke now at the head of the Cabinet; yet, with all these advantages, he must take care to make his opinions agree with the spirit and temper of the age in which he lsves. Great and unconquered as he is, to public opinion must he bow if he desire to re- main in the situation he now occupics. Sir, I trust I have been misinformed as to the intention of liis Majesty's Mi- nisters, and that the concession we require may be made to- night. I now move* " That this House will reso've itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider of so much of the said Acts as requires persons, before they are admitted into any office or place in Corporations, or having accepted any office, civil or military, or any place of trust under the Crown, to receive the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, according to the rites of the Church of England." Mr. J. Smith said, the House was now called upon to do an act of justice towards three- eighths of the whole population of the country— to relieve from a detji anil galling insult so great a portion of the inhabitants of these realms— to get rid of laws which were equally absurd, cruel, anil unjust. In another part of the Empire what effect had such laws produced ?— laws by which seven millions of people were injured and oppressed, and placed in a state by which they became degraded themselves, and injurious to this country. Until those laws were repealed, we could never give tranquility or prosperity to Ireland— by their repeal, we should bind the people of that country to the interests of this ; and by the repeal of similar law's, we should give to the Dissenters a power which they never possessed before, of materially serving the interests of Great Britain, and of increasing its vigour and its capabilities. Mr. Wilbraham, in alluding to the arguments by which it was urged that the annual Indemnity Hill took away the sting from those laws, and that the oppression of those laws was more imaginary than real, said lie must observe that such was a singular mode to adopt for tneir defence— to state that the)' were made tolerable by their being systematically overlooked. But he denied that the evil was merely imaginary. Was it nothing for an Eng- lishman to hold his lights by ail annual leuse only— and to be forced to have that lease renewed from year to year? There were some gentlemen unwilling to grant the repeal of those laws, because, forsooth, they knew not what would be the next step taken— they would deny to men that which it Was right and proper to grant them, because they might otherwise ask for that which was unreason- able— they would refuse to pay a debt which they justly owed, because their creditor might subsequently rob them. He ( Mr. Wilbraham) knew nothing of the Dissenters, except from the casual intercourse of society; but were he a Dissenter, he would never cease to knock at the door of the Constitution until that door was opened to him, and until he were admitted through it 011 the same footing with other men. Considering this motion designed to give freedom to a large body of our countrymen— and deeply interesting tp all denominations of Christians) considering it also as the great step towards the accom- plishment of the cause of religious liberty— he would give it his most cordial support. Mr. Fergusson spoke in support of the motion. Mr. Huskisson— Sir, looking abstractedly at tile Act, which it is the object of the motion to repeal, I should certainly feel regret at its continuance 011 our Statute Hook, but 1 must confess that I equally regret, that* under present circumstances, the noble Lord has brought forward his motion. I have been B2 years a Member of this House, and it is for the first time ill that long period I am called upon to approach the question now under consideration. It is, indeed, nearly forty years since the subject has been agitated in Parliament at all, which, of itself, is, I think, a sufficient proof that the Act is not such a pressing grievance as it has been represented to be. An Hon. Member has said, that the country was engaged in foreign war, and was besides so agitated at home, that the House was not disposed to listen to dis- cussions of this sort. Is the Hon. Member so little ac- quainted with the history of the period he lias alluded to as not to know that, during thirty of these forty years, a question analogous to the present was continually under discussion ? Does he not know that the subject of the principle of civil disqualification on account of religious dissent has occupied more of the time of this House— has crcated more debate— has excited greater warmth of discussion— has led to greater consequences— lias divided the opinion not only of the great men of the time in which we have lived, but that of the two Houses of Par- liament— has, in consequence of those divisions, deprived the country of powerful Administrations, and induced more changes in the Councils of the Crown— than any other ever hi ought before the House ? To say, therefore, that it was from fear of the subject not being attended to that it was not brought forward during that period, is taking an ill- founded view of the history of the time al- luded to. I am willing to acknowledge that the peti- tioners form a most respectable body in the community. They are noted for the acuteness of their intelligence, the elevation of their minds, and the great consideration many of them bear in the country. Is it likely that such persons, with the perseverance they are known to possess, should for all that period have quietly submitted to the operation of an Act that oppressed them ? Is it likely they would have suffered themselves to labour under grievances so intolerable as we have heard repre- sented ? I will tell the noble Lord why I regret he has brought foiward his motion at the present time. I fear it will have a tendency to interrupt the spirit of baimony and concord now prevailing; and that we shall be again in danger of retracing that line of demarcation between the Established Church and the Dissenters, which was almost obliterated by time, mutual forbearance, and mutual good will. On that ground alone I should feel regret at this motion having been, on this occasion, as I think without any urgent or peculiar necessity, brought forward. Sir, it is because I feel anxious for the success of the Catholic question, and because I think the present dis- cussion as not likely to advance it, that I expiess my dis- sent to the motion of the noble Lord,— and tell him that I fairly and honestly regret that it has taken place. I consider that the consequence of this measure, with re- ference to the question of which I have been speaking, must be that it will rather retrogade than advance by it. The great principle which is Involved in this question— and always has been up to this hour— is, that the civil capacity of a man is to depend 011 certain religious testi- monies. I think it will be allowed, that as the law stands at present, it is the rule of this country, that conformity with the Established Church is the condition of the ad- mission of the subject to the civil offices of the State. Then,. if you repeal the law involving this principle, that affects the Dissenters, and leave untouched the restrictive enactments against other classes, you invert the present state of the case, you depart from the principle, you turn the principle into a rule in favour of the Dissenters, and make the exclusion of the Catholics the exception to the general rule. I am satisfied that if this motion be carried, the noble Lord will find, not certainly among the en- lightened portion of the Dissenters, but certainly among some, and a considerable number, of that body, addi- tional and cncreased opposition to the concession of th « Catholic Claims; and I am sure the noble Lord will ad- mit it to be possible that this question may be argued by a majority of persons in this country, who conscienti- ously and honourably entertain apprehension of the dan- ger of admitting the Catholics into power in the State. Nor is there any man, not even among the friends of the Catholics, who will not allow that it is probable, when the Catholic question comes to be arranged, that the arrangement will be attended with some such precau. tionary measure as the Test Act. Now, if the laws that exclude the Catholics from power, I mean the oath of abjuration, be repealed, and they arc admitted into Par- liament, I repeat that there are many who will not be- lieve the security of the State to be sufficiently provided for, unless the measure be followed up by a Test, and something in the shape of all Indemnity Bill— a precau- tion, not however intended to be kept up for ever, but some such provision as were enacted against dangers ap- prehended from the Protestant Dissenters. Lord Nugent said he would vote for the support of the motion, because he considered the Corporation and Test Acts a profanation of religion, and because they tended to keep alive a strong religious party against the State and the Church. Lord Milton spoke in support of the motion. Mr. Peel— I am not prepared to go the length of argu- ing that these Acts are essentially interwoven with, and necessary to, the security of the Established Church. ( Cheers.) Still I cannot close my eyes to the conse- quences which may ensue front their repeal. They are so connected with the habits and manners of the people, that they ought not rashly to be given up. If it could be supposed that the Dissenters might enjoy the rights from which they are said to be excluded, with perfect security to the Church of England Establishment, I should be very strongly inclined to vote for the repeal. We have been referred to the number of petitions presented on this subject recently, as evidence of the state of the Dis- senters' feelings throughout the country. Now, surely, if the present number of petitions is relied 011 as a proof of how general and deep this idea of a grievance is— is not the absence of such petitions in past periods a proof that no such grievance was felt; if this year we are to have six hundred petitions for the repeal, and if last year we had a thousand, which numbers are said to be con. elusive on the subject,— I am naturally induced to in- quire what has been the case in this respect in former years ? The years in which petitions on this head appear to have been presented, within a period of ten years last past, were these:— In the year 11124, there were four; in 1825, one; in 1820, One; in 1817, not one; nor yet in 1818; nor yet in 1819; nor in 1821, 1822, nor 1823— ( Hear, hear)— so that the whole number of petitions pre- sented in favour of a repeal of these Acts during the last ten years, preceding last year; was but six, and no more. The noble Lord ( Russell) has spoken of the higher offices as objects of ambition with the middling orders, just as elevation to the Peerage is to Hie hiiiher. I entirely con- cur with him in that sentiment, and I should be the last man in existence to debar any class in the British com- munity fiom the attainment of the highest honors in the State. With respect to Municipal honours, so far as I am A* ate, the Protestant Dissenter is not practically excluded. ( Several Members here mtiniate'd that he was practically excluded.) I have just learned from tile Sheriff of London, that the last Lord Mayor ( Mr. Browne) was a Protestant Dissenter. ( Hear, hear.) It will not be denied, therefore, that admission to Corpora- tions has been obtained by Protestant Dissenters; and whatever the strict law may enjoin, the exclusion does not operate generally as a practical inconvenience. I wish to give the Established Church continued possession of their nominal superiority ; but if we are to have such laws, I wish their operation to be as slight as possible. ( Cheers.) Sir T. D. Acland spoke in favour of the motion. Mr. Brougham also argued at great length in its sup- port. He alluded to the lapsfc of time which the Right Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Peel) had alleged as a proof that the Dissenters had suffered no practical grievance. But was it not, lie would ask, a grievance to have the mark of tile chain remaining, although the fetter itself hud been taken away ? Was it nothing that the Dissenters were considered an inferior race of men— that there was a difference— and that tliev were not looked upon in the same way as Churchmen ? Was it not a grievance that Churchmen should say, we are in possession and we will keep vou out; and was it not a grievance that they were thus degraded by law, and insulted as a body ?_ They were excluded from Corporations, and no Dissenter could stand for any place in any Corporation, where there was likelv to be a contest. The Indemnity Act, 11s it at present practically operated, did not enable the Dissenter to obtain any corporate office, or render him eligible thereto, for bv the Test Act a qui tarn, information could be preferred against him, and, though he should escape from the penalties, he could never recover his costs. Would the House, after that, say that the evils com- plained of were ideal— would they, after 1700 petitions had been laid on the table, say that the Dissenters' com- plaints were preferred against imaginary grievances. To those petitions he implored the attention of the House. Lord Palmerston warmly defended the principle of liberty of Conscience. But the Catholics, in his opinion, were the class of disqualified persons towards whom the Legislature ought principally to direct its attention. He could not consent til take up the lesser evil, that of the Dissenters, until the greater evil was brought to a level with it; he would then have no objection to take into consideration the case of both. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion 237 Against it .... i.. 193 Majority in favour of the motion...... 44 The result of the division was loudly cheered— Adj. London, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27. WINDSOR, Feb. 27.— His Majesty enjoys ex- cellent health, and his strength is daily increasing. It is fully expected that on Monday next the King will go to town, where he will, it is said, remain until the Easter holydays. A ttooil deal of interest and alarm was ex- cited in the City yesterday by the reports ef the indis- position of his Majesty. It was generally believed that the Cabinet Council held on Monday night had reference to the Illness of the King. A Ministerial evening paper, however, contradicts, from authority, the reports al- luded to The fact of a Cabinet Council being called to- day at Windsor shows that his Majesty's indisposition cannot be of an alarming character. Lord John Russell's motion, for the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, was carried last night by a majority of 44— 237 being for it, and 193 against it. Mr. Stratford Canning, onr Ambassador to the Sublime Porte, arrived at the Foreign Office, Down- ing- street, about half- past eleven o'clock yesterday morn- ing, in a post- chaise and four, from Sittingbourne, Kent, where the Right Hon. Gentleman had arrived t » e pre- ceding night, and slept, on his return from Con- stantinople. Mr. Stratford Canning, on liis arrival in town, proceeded to the residence of Earl Dudley, in Arlington- street, and hail an interview with the noble Earl for near two hours. On leaving his Lordship Mr. C. visited the Duke of Wellington at the Treasury, and had a long conference with his Grace. Mr. C. afterwards transacted business for a considerable time at the Foreign Office. The Duke of Clarence has resolved to call in for service, on foreign stations, the medical gentlemen of the navy who have been least employed since the last piomotion. Saltpetre and other articles, termed warlike stores, have undergone some advance, though slight, in value. The holders fully calculate on a further advance. Despatches were received on Sunday ni^ ht at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from the British Charge d'Affairs at St. Petersburgh. The despatches were forwarded to Earl Dudley. Soon afterwards the noble Earl gave orders for summoning a Cabinet Council, to meet on Monday; the Cabinet Mi- nisters accordingly assembled at three o'clock Monday afternoon at the Foreign- office, and sat in deliberation till five o'clock. The Ministers present were the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst, Dudley, and Aberdeen, Viscounts Melville and Palmerston, Lord Ellenborough, Mr. Peel, Mr. Huskisson, the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, and Mr. Herries. Accounts just received from Odessa state that tile military preparations were more extensive than usual, particularly in the purchase of provisions for the army. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 25 The proclamation which is in circulation here fills the minds of all the Christians with alarm. The persecutions to which the United Armenians of the Roman Church are exposed, remind the capital of the days of terror when the Janis- saries were dissolved. The proclamation is executed in its full force; it has revived the courage of the Mussul- mans, and the general arming has alieady begun. Within this fortnight, above 8,000 Armenians have been sent to Asia. Fifteen thousand Egyptians, from the Morea, have landed in Egypt. This is the commencement of the evacuation. The rigorous measures adopted by the Otto- man Porte against the Armenians have been occasioned by an article in the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Persia, in which the Armenians in Persia are placed under the protection of Russia. DUBLIN, Feb. 23.— The Rent received by the Association last Saturday was 298/., and to- day it just exceeded 300/. As the Rent is the best index of the feel- ings of the Catholic population, it is manifest their sym- pathy with the Association is not on the increase. One wonders why so little is received from so large a popula- tion, when it is considered that every means short of vio- lence is resorted to for the purpose of enforcing contribu- tions. The Priest, whose authority is paramount, and the Churchwardens and Collectors, who are influential persons in the parish, have cognizance of every person who refuses, and he is immediately subjected to all the evils which their displeasure can visit him with. At the Association to- day, Mr. O'Connell condemned the post- ponement of the discussion of their claims till after Easter, If he had known such to be the intention of their friends in town, lie said he would have gone himself to London, and on his knees entreated some gentleman to present it. Mr. O'Connell spoke highly of the Marquis of Anglesea: he believed that his intentions were holiest, but that they would be frustrated by the Orange crew, with whom he would be surrounded. OLD BAILEY.— Wm. Howard, alias Joshua Bell, alias Josiah Bell, was yesterday indicted capitally for assaulting with intent to rob Mr. William Mullay, in Red Lion- square. There were several counts in the in- dictment varying the charge. The prisoner, on being placed at the bar, was genteelly dressed, and had an extremely gentlemanly demeanour. Mr. Mullay was then sworn, and detailed the particu- lars of the attack as related recently in the police reports. In his cross- examination, Mr. Mullay said he was a native of Ireland, and had been in England about three months. He had before advertised for a mercantile situation. Other witnesses deposed to certain facts corroborative of Mr. Mullay's evidence, after which, the prisoner read along written defence: he denied any guilty intention, and attributed the whole transaction to a quarrel between him and the prosecutor ; he concluded thus:— In the presence of that Omniscient Being, whose mercies and invitations I have too long rejected— in his sacred pre- sence I solemnly aver the statement I have made to you is true— the cause of the affray and its circumstances, such as I have detailed them, are strictly correct. Into your hands, then, I resign mv fate. Deal with me only as your consciences mav dictate. But in the presence of that great and awful Being, before whose dread tribunal my debilitated frame warns me I must soon appear— Him I take to witness, that I am totally innocent of this most foul and most unfounded charge!" Baron Vaughan summed up the case at great length. The Jury, after a few minutes' consideration, returned a verdict of Guilty 011 the fitli count of the indictment, i which subjects the prisoner to transpottatin for life. The Admiralty yacht is'ordered to be in rea- diness to convey to Calais the Prince and Princess Hohen- lohe Laugecnbourg, who leave town the 28th. The Prince de Polignac arrived at Dover on the same day with Mr. Canning. Since the Duke of Wellington's appointment as Master- General of the Ordnance ( 1820) to his resigna- tion last year, the annual yearly saving in the expendi- ture of that Department is estimated at 320,000/. Mr. Herries is talked of as being likely to be appointed to tile Government of Jamaica. Mr. Sugden is about to give up his attendance at the Rolls Court. Owing to the continued illness of Chief Jus- tice Best, Mr. Sergeant Onslow lias been appointed to the Commission of the Home Circuit, and will be Mr. Jus- tice Burrough's coadjutor 011 the occasion. The Finance Committee have determined on pursuing their inquiries by departments ; and have com- menced with the Navy Estimates, assuming as a basis those of 1792. Mr. Henry Hunt was yesterday under an examination for about two hours before the Committee of the House of Lords on the Game Laws. We under stand that he gave it as his opinion that the trade of game, like trade " 111 all other things, ought, compara- tively, to be thrown open ; and that it is impossible to make laws that should be of any effect in preventing the poor, in the neighbourhood of preserves of game, from poaching on those preserves at night, especially situated as such poor are at present, in most parts of the country — namely, they not receiving more than from sixpence to one shilling a day for their labour— Morn. Herald. Wehave heart! it mentioned that Sir William Knighton has taken his departure for the Continent. It is whispered that Sir William knows all about the late changes, and that he could, if he were called upon, ex- plain what neither Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Herries, nor Mr. Anybody- else, have explained— Morning Herald. We are' led to believe that the " invisible" being referred to by Mr. Duncombe on Thursday even- ing, has suddenly removed himself to Hanover, to make a professional inquiry into a fact of a peculiarly de'icat1 nature.— Times. It was mentioned on Monday, in some of the clubs at the west end of the town, that Sir William Knighton had been despatched to visit the Duke of Cam- bridge, who is at present 011 the Continent, and afflicted with indisposition of a very severe description.— Morning Herald. We see it erroneously stated in some of the papers that Mr. Gourlay, notwithstanding his having given bail, is still confined in Coldbath- flelds' prison. The fact is that Mr. Gourlay was discharged from that prison last Saturday fortnight, and has, we understand, since left town for Scotland, never, we hope, again to visit any prison whatever Morning Herald. Mr. Moure's Life of Lord Byron.— On Fri- day the agreement for this work was completed. Mr. Murray is to be the publisher ; and is to pay Mr. Moore the sum of 4200/. for the copyright. A meeting of about 20 proprietors of the Anglo Chilian Mining Association was held yesterday at the London Tavern, when a resolution of the Directors, recommending the dissolution of the association, was read, and unanimously agreed to. The town of Frome is setting an example which should be followed generally throughout the king- dom, in petitioning Parliament for the repeal of the Receipt Stamp Duties under 20/., as a means of prevent- ing the obnoxious and ruinous consequences of qui tam informations. BURGLARY.— The rectory- house at Trow- bridge was forcibly entered on Friday morning the 22d instant; when a great coat belonging to the Rev. G. Crabbe, a hat belonging to the footman, several silver spoons, about 10.?. in money, and some wine, were stolen. The servant maid was awakened by the noise, and giving an alarm, the thieves decamped, in all probability sooner than they intended. The church clock of St. Mary Islington was illuminated on Monday night for the first time. The diameter of the dial to the extremity measures nine feet, and tile illuminated part eight feet; the length of the figures fifteen inches; the minute- hand four feet, and the hour- hand two feet nine inches; the height of the dial from the ground is sixty- five feet. As the clock struck seven the gr. s was turned on, and the bells rung a merry peal: the effect was very beautiful, and the crowds who had assembled before the church testified their approba- tion by repeated cheers. The clock can be seen in both roads," anil very distinctly from Cloudsley- terrace— a dis- tance of about three- quarters of a mile. Its utility is quite manifest, particularly to those who travel by night; the expense lias been borne by subscription, without any assistance from the parish ; and the light will be furnished by the Imperial Gas Light Company for a year, without any charge. A trial for perjury, which excited very great interest, Sir James Scarlett, Mr. Brougham, ar$ other eminent counsel being engaged on it, took place on Sa- turday last in the Court of King's Bench, before Lord Tenterden. Mr. Blandy, a solicitor, who had been agent for Mr. Spence at the last contested election for the borough of Reading, was charged with perjury, in having sworn, before a Committee of the House of Commons, that he had not, on a certain occasion, gone with Mr. Spence to the house of a voter of that borough, named Davis. The wife of Davis deposed, that on the occasion alluded to she went to her door whicli had been knocked at, and found Mr. Blandy there; after talking with him a few minutes, Mr. Spence came up, and they both en- tered the house. Mrs. Davis's son, and some other wit- nesses, corroborated this testimony, but Lord Tenterden stopped the case, observing that the evidence disproved the allegation in the indictment, that Mr, Spence and the defendant had gone together to Davis's house: the statement upon which the assignment ef perjury was founded was, that Mr. Spence and the defendant had not gone to the house together; but that one went first, and was followed by the other in a few minutes: the defen- dant, it appeared, was inside the house before Mr. Spence came up. The Jury, under the direction of his Lord- ship, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. INCREASE of CRIME.— It appears by the an- nual reports of the Governor of Newgate, that there were committed to that prison in the year 1824, no less thati 2,180 persons, which number has since gradually increased: in 1827, the number amounted to 3,020. DREADFUL FIRE.— FIVE LIVES LOST.— This morning, about two o'clock, the inhabitants of Field- lane, Holborn- bridge, were thrown into consternation by the breaking out of a fire, at the house of Mr. Bedle, hatter, No. 4, a few doors from Holborn. Mr. Bedle was awoke by a alarm of fire, and on getting out of bed, discovered the lower part of the house enveloped in flames, tendering it impossible for himself and wife to effect an escape down stairs. Mrs. B. ran about the room in a state of distraction, and her husband snatched up his child that was lying on the bed, opened the first floor window, and dropped it into the arms of a man. Mr. Bedle perceiving the flames gaining strength, jumped out of the window, and was seriously injured. His wife fol- lowed his example, and was very much hurt on tire head. Before the inmates could be aroused, a maft named Bartlett, a shoemaker, his wife, and two children, who resided on the second floor, were burnt to death ; an eiderly woman who lived on the third floor, and who was bed- ridden, likewise fell a prey to the flames. The prompt arrival of a number of engines preserved the nouses on either side from total destraction ; but the house of Mr. Bedle was in a short time reduced to ruins. BOTANICAL CURIOSITY.— The " Air Plant of China" has for some years been cultivated in the hot- houses of this country, but without the production of flowers, ill the gardener of his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, at Claremont, lately succeeded ; and a branch of blossom was produced, between two and three feet long, composed of hundreds of large flowers, resplendent with scarlet and yellow. The plant has the wonderful propeity of living wholly on air, and is suspended by the Chinese from the ceilings of their rooms, which are adorned by its beauty, and perfumed by its fragrance. Feathered Community.— The Grosbeak, which nhabits the interior of the Cape of Good Hope, builds in vast numbers, in one society, on the mimcsa- trees, unit- ing their several nests under one common roof. Some- times not fewer than 800 or 1000 will form together one community. Mr. Paterson, on examining one of these, found it divided into regular streets, with nests on both sides, about two inches from each other. Burrowing Jackdaws.— In parts of the coun- try where there are no towers, or steeples, or ancient ruins— in which last the daw delights most to build— it frequently makes its nest in rabbit- burrows. Mr. White mentions this as being the case in the neighbourhood of Chichester: Dr. Latham says that burrowing jackdaws are also common in the Isle of Ely. CORN- EXCHANGE, Feb. 27.— We had a large arrival of Barley from the Suffolk coast, for which Mon- day's prices were offered and refused, but still Monday's quotation was considered the price. The Mealing trade was very heavy, although the supply was small, and Monday's prices with difficulty obtained. Oats were nearly stagnant, and, had any offers been made, lower prices, from 0< Z. to Is. per qr., would have been accepted. THE GLOBE NEWSPAPER.— The following ex- tract from an Address to the Public, which has appeared in the Globe, shews that that Journal has attained a cir- culation higher than any other of the London Evening Papers: " We are bound in justice to ourselves to state, that the Globe is now the highest in circulation of all the daily Evening Papers; its sale has for some time past exceeded considerably that of the most prosperous of its contemporaries." In severe Colds, Rheumatism, & c. from which numbers suffer so severely, particularly during the Winter Months, a more salutary Remedy cannot be issortcd to, or one that has effcctcil more extraordinary Cures, than the Genuine Bateman's Pectoral Drops, which may be had of the most respectable Medicine Venders either in Town or Country. Like many other valuable Medicines, however, it is very much counterfeited, which renders it the more necessary for Purchasers to be particular in inquiring for " DICKY'S Bateman's Drops" which have the words DICEY and Co. in tile Stamp, and are thi only genuine sort.

The Patentee solicits attention to tim following document. ( COPY.) Apothecaries' Hall, London, Feb. Oth, 11128. Silt,— I have analyzed your Groats and Barley Pow- der; which you, having His Majesty's Letters Patent for the sole Manufacturing of the same, properly deno- minate, " PATENT BARLEY and PATENT GROATS." I have 110 hesitation in declaring them to be genuine Powders of the finest Barley anil Oats I ever saw. I consider it a public advantage, and of great importance in the medical world, that, by your mode of preparation, a valuable, fine, mucilaginous beverage and food may bis obtained in a few minutes. I have also analyzed some samples, — imitations of your articles,— which are warranted " free from adulteration," then; I pronounce to be compositions of different meals, consequently, neither pure Barley- water nor Oat gruel can be made from them. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, RICHARD CLARKE. To Mr. M. Robinson, Red Lion- Street, Holborn. The above testimonial, from a gentleman who has already rendered the public much service by exposing various deleterious mixtures and adulterations in articles, of general consumption, added to the recommendation of the medical profession, make it unnecessary for the pro- prietors to do more than state, that none are genuine which do not bear the words " Robinson's Patent," the Royal Arms, and the signature of " Matts. Robinson."

[ 22fi FOR COUGHS. PECTORAL ESSENCE OF COLTSFOOT. '' B^ HE Herb COLTSFOOT lias long been J- di Anguished for its excellent properties in the cure of Coughs, and other Pulmonary Complaints; and this Essence has, in the conrse of a long practice, been found the most safe and effectual Remedy tor Coughs, and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens the Breast, and immediately gives liberty of breathing, without any danger of taking cold, and thus it affords great relief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling which pro- vokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands, re- laxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels. Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals rawness and soreness of the Chest. This Pectoral Essence is prepared by James Ryan, surgeon in Bristol: and sold in Bottles at 2s. Hd and 3s. ( id. each, by F. Newbery and Sons, 45, St. Paul's Church- yard ; and in most Country Towns.

ACIDULATED LOZENGES OF CAYENNE— for habi- tual sore throats, hoarseness^ relaxation of uvula, and a refreshing stimulus during field sports. These Lozenges have received a patronage almost unprecedented in the above cases; they are also of great utility to persons in the habit of public speaking; and the highest testimony in the musical world lias been advanced in their favor, where the voice has been influenced by a humid atmos- phere, and diminished in tone. On this consideration they are particularly useful to travellers, who are un- avoidably exposed to damp. In boxes at 2s. and Is. fid. ANTACID LOZENGES OF QUININE— The new pre- paration of Bark, called the Sulphate of Quinine, is the ingredient on which the tonic properties of these lozenges depend ; but that the effects may be more adapted to the object for which they are intended. Antacids and Aro- matics are combined. The lozenges can be confidently recommended in all affections of the stomach, such as indigestion, heartburn, acidity, flatuleuce, and general weakness of that organ. They are found extremely ser- viceable in gouty uttacks, especial! y when the stomach i3 more immediately engaged. In boxes at 2s. ami 4s. fid; FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA ( simple and compound), for making tile decoction, as it may be re- quired, in a manner superior to that generally used.

THE VEGETABLE TOOTH- POWDER—' This Denti- frice has so long been in general use, and an appendage to th' fashionable toilet, that it is almost unnecessary to offer any further recommendation in favor of it. Com- posed of vegetables, witnout tne admixture or any mine- ral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual objections so justly formed against the use of other dentifrices. Its detersive power is just sufficient to re- move those destructive particles which adhere to the gums and the interstices of the teeth; and if used rcguliriy, will preserve them in a sound state even to old age. in boxes 2s. Hd. PECTORAL ELIXIR— Experience during a very long period has incontestibly proved the superior effica y of this Medicine in all cases of cold, coughs, and asthmatic affections. By promoting gentle expectoration and acting as an anodyne, it very shortly relieves the patient of a li ght or recent cold, and a few doses are generaily su'- ffcient to remove those which neglect has rendered mote confirmed and obstinate, and which are accompanied with cough, spitting of blood, and other serious symp- toms.

SYDENHAM'S ANTIB1LIOUS, or FAMILY PILLS— These Pills ( Entirely Ve- getable) are unrivalled in Bilious and Liver Complaints, Indigestion, Flatulencies, Habitual Costiveness, Spasms' Nervous Head- Aches, & c., Mild, yet effectual in their operation, without mercury or mineral, and requiring no restraint in diet or confinement during their use, possess, ing the power to clear the intestines of the bile which may be acting offensively to them, at the same time correcting and improving the secretion, without increasing the quan- tity secreted. Females find the occasional use of them materially beneficial to their general health, as their purely Vegetable composition is not likely to disagree with the most delicately constituted stomach. Nothing can show their superiority more than the approval of Families of distinction, as well as the Public and Medical men m present practice. ( See the opinion of all eminent Physi- cian practising extensively at Clifton aud Bristol, on tbe wrapper surrounding each box of Pills.) And the in- creasing sale of Sydenham's Antibilious Pills, prove then the most valuable, safe, and effectual Medicine extant. Persons of either sex going to or residing in hot climat rs, those leading sedentary lives, and Commercial Gentle- men, will find them a certain assistant to repel the attacks of disease arising fr « m neglect, intemper. mce, the want of exercise, or die effects of climate. One Pill taken at tie hour of dinner, is admirably calculated to assist digestion, correct excesses of the table, and give a heaithy action ti> the stomach. Sold by the proprietor, J.

AND GENERAL ADVERTISER OF WILTS, HANTS, DORSET, AND SOMERSET Friday's Post. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, Feb, 25. WE Lave this instant received fresh letters from Constantinople, dated the 2tith of . Ian. The march of troops to Adrianople continues, as well » s the sending of the Sultan's equipages, who, according to report, will very shortly go to that city. The persecution of the Greeks and Armenians is not relaxed. M. d'Ottenfels has interfered without success. All the Catholic Armenian Churches in Pera and Galata have been closed. The state of the capital affords a melancholy appear, ance, and all hope of any arrangement is vanished: 200,000 Asiatics are expected. Their arrival will be the signal for the most complete anarchy. We havea letter from Vienna, dated 17th Feb., which jays—" Tile last letters from Constantinople, relative to the Catholics and Christians in general, are of so alarm- ing a nature, that it is feared the Russians will imme- diately past the Pruth. The accounts from Odessa, dated 7th this month, leave no hope whatever." ALEXANDRIA, Dec. 29.— It is said the Pacha has ad- Vised the Sultan to declare war, and to count on all the forces of Egypt. Ibrahim Pacha will continue in the Morea till further orders. . BUCHAREST, Feb. 1.— It is thought here that Russia will interfere with vigour in the affairs of the Hast, ill order to avoid gieater miseries, and to save the property anil existence of the Christians depending upon the Porte. The Ottoman army is assembling on the Danube— de- tachments of hundreds arrive daily. The fortresses are filled with provisions. Commissioners had arrived at Adrianople to prepare the Grand Seignior's Palace. Since the Manifesto appeared, it is no longer to be doubted that Wallachia frill be agsin the theatre of war, and her capital the field of battle. In this cruel situation we expect a double invasion from the North and the South ; and as the Turks have only 15 leagues to march, and the Russians at least 60, the Turks will profit by their proximity to give themselves up to the greatest excesses. ' HOUSE OF LORDS. WEDNESDAY, Feb. 27.— A number of petitions were presented, praying the repeal of the Test and Corpora- tion Acts. ... , The Earl of Harrowby presented a petition from the Magistrates of Stafford, in quarter sessions assembled, praying the enactment of new measures to eheck the alarming progress of crime— Adj. THURSDAY, Feb. 20 A few petitions were pre- sented, praying for a repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts— Adj. HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, Feb. 27 Numerous petitions were presented for the repeal of the Malt Duties Act and of the Stamp Duties A great number of petitions from Ireland, were also presented, in favour of the Catholic ' claims. Mr. Hume moved for an account of the manner m which" the sum of 153,0001. for the Militia expences for 1827, with the several amounts composing it, and to whom they were paid. Also, the number of Volunteer ' corps, for which the sum of 60,000/. was required in the expences of the current year. Ordered, Sir J. Graham moved for an account of the pay and salaries to public officers, from the year 1787 to the 1st of January, 11120.— Ordered. Mr. Hume, moved for copies of all the Acts of the Colonial Legislatures, and the Orders in Council made in reference to the government of the Colonics— Ordered.— Adjourned. THURSDAY, Feb. 28.— Mr. Johnson presented re- turns of the number of Bank of Ireland notes in circula- tion, and other returns. Mr. Bankes brought up the bill for disfranchising Cranbourn Chace, which was read a first time. The Great Torrington Road Bill was read a first time. — The report of the committee on the Truro Road Bill was ordered to be engrossed. A number of petitions from Ireland were presented, praying for a removal of the Catholic disabilities.^ Several petitions against the Test and Corporation Acts were presented; as were others against the Malt Duties Act, and against the Stamp Duties. Mr. Peel, after a speech of considerable length, moved for " the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the Cause of the Increase of Crime in the Metropolis and its neighbourhood, and the State of the Police." After some debate, the motion was carried, and a Com- mittee, consisting of 22 Members, was appointed. The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the Corporation and Test Acts, when Lord John Russell en- tered into an explanation of his wishes upon the subject. His Lordship would not accede to tile proposition of some Gentlemen, for a suspension of the Acts, and persisted in his intention to move for their unqualified repeal. Mr. Peel expressed surprise at the precipitation of so important a question, being desirous of obtaining time to give due consideration to the measure, which his ollicial avocation* btwl hitherto denied him. Several other Members also disapproved of the course adopted hy the supporters of the measure. The question was put and carried without a division. The Report was ordered to be received on Tuesday.— Adjourned. London, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29. His Majesty ' ieltl a Court at three o'clock Wednesday afternoon, at his Royal Lodge, in Windsor Park, which was attended by his Ministers and Officers of State. The Right Hon. Stratford Canning wu3 intro- duced to his Majesty upon his return from his Embassy at Constantinople, and had an audience of the King. The Hon. Duncombe Plevydell Bouverie, on Wednesday, took the oaths and his seat as Member for New Sarum, in the room of Lord Folkestone now Earl of Radnor. Lord Cochrane lias left town for Paris, in order to engage the Greek Committees of the continent to promote his plan for putting an end to piracy in tlio Mediterranean. Previous to his Lordship's departure, arrangements were made fur the prompt preparation of two steam- vessels. The accounts from Constantinople are of the 20th January. The Manifesto has been read in all the Mosques, and the Bosphorus has been closed against the ships of all Christian nations. The most rigorous measures continue to be adopted against the Armenians, and all efforts to soften them have proved fruitless. The Aus- trian Miuister, D'Ottenfels, made three demands, appeal- ing to the Treaty of Carlowitz, which places the Catholics under the protection of Austria. The Reis Effendi refused to listen to them. The minds of the people at Constantinople are described to be in a state of the greatest excitement— and all moderation and judgment seem to have been banished from the Councils of the Divan. It appears that the French are increasing their naval force in the Levant. Ships of war sail from Toulon daily. A Paris paper says, " A short time after the departure of the Provence, destined to replace the Trident, M. de Rigny's ship, several frigates sailed for the same destination. These have been followed by ves- sels of a smaller size." A late ukase of the Emperor of Russia, pub- lished at Petersburgh, holds out to foreign artisans and manufacturers some important privileges. as inducements to transfer their capital * nd industry to that country.— BV this ukase it is ordered, that foreigners shall obtain admission into the guilds or trade- companies without any difficulty. Foreigners employed in the workshops and manufactories may continue therein without inscribing their names in any trade- company, or paying any lax. PROVINCIAL BANK of IRELAND.— A meeting of the Shareholders in the' Provincial Bank of Ireland was held on Wednesday at the City of London Tavern, to consider certain resolutions recommended bythe Di- rectors. The Chairman ( T. S. Rice, Esq.) explained the nature of the resolutions— their purport was, that the number of Directors should be reduced from 20 to 1( 1, and that their allowance for duty should be proportion- ately reduced or. e. fifth. Mr. Farrell proposed the reso- tions, and remarked that out of three millions of paper discounted at two of their branches last year, viz. Belfast uiid Londonderry, there had not remained, on the 1st of January, a single shilling of bad debts against them. ( Hear.) The resolutions passed unanimously. A few evenings ago. a respectable farmer was set upon by a banditti near his own house, at Jer- point, and cruelly murdered. He had previously been threatened for taking his farm— Leinster Journal. A very numerous meeting of the proprietors of the new London University was held on Wednesday at the Freemasons'- Hall, Lord Auckland in the chair.

P., Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Hobhouse, Alderman Wood, Dr. Birk- beck, & c. Lord Auckland congratulated the proprietors 011 the state of their great undertaking; the building was rapidly advancing to completion, and the professors, he liad no doubt, would prove advantageous to their infant establishment and to the rising generation. He also re- joiced that the hostility which had been raised against them originally had ceased. ( Hear.) The repoit stated that the original amount of capital subscribed would be sufficient to bring the scheme of academical education into full operation, It appeared that the total receipts, including donations, amounted, on the Slst of December 1027, to 71,805/., while the expenditure, including tile purchase of tho land, the erection of the building, and all incidental expenses, was Ml, 11U. 12s, The Rev. Mr. Barder having remarked on the hostility against tile institution on the ground of its omission of theology, Mr. Brougham said the object of the Council was to leave the religious instruction of tile students to their parents and clergymen, as their university was to be of the nature of a day- school, where the pupils studied by day and spent their evenings at home. He wondered that any objection on this head should be raised to the university, while none were made against the Royal In- stitution or the Athemæum, which taught particular branches of philosophy, and, as he wisely thought, left teligiou entirely to itself. [ A correspondent has requested the insertion of the fol- lowing observations on the agiculture and trade of ihis country. We think them highly deserving of atten- tion at'the present moment. 1 I entertain strong doubts of the principle that has been laid down, that our home trade owes its success and is entirely dependant on the foreign. He who would buy, must have something to sell; the inhabitants of a country will necc- sarilv t+ ocure to them- selves all those necessaries of life which are near them and within their grasp, before they look abroad for a distant supply, and will have nothing to spare for distant exchange until their own wants are fully supplied. Thus foreign commerce must consist of the surplusage of the exporting country, so that foreign trade should consist of the exchange of excess ; and until the home trade be fully supplied, a beneficial exchange can never commence. Let us put a case : Say N, a northern town or county, employing its capital in the manufacture of cloth; and S, a southern district, in growing wheat; till N is glutted with bread, and S has no farther need of cloth, ( which will necessarily include a numerous populationon either side, all employed in productive labour,) it will be for the interest of neither to look to a more distant inter- course, because attended with diminished advantages, in proportion to the distance and risk. Prudence dictates trusting our neighbours, whom we know, in preference to strangers, with whose principles we must be less ac- quainted. Add also, the proportionate slowness of the returns, the expense of conveyance, and, if we cross the seas, the entire failure of the double profit. We must then work single handed, and the profits between the two countries must be divided. The whole of the taxes and revenue of a country must, in some mode or other, be derived finally from the pro. duct of that country ; and, I presume, there will be no great difficulty in proving that agriculture, as respecting its general extensively beneficial productions, ranks in the first class ; for here the land itself greatly co- operates with manual exertions. From the land, tiie manufac- turer must procure, not only sustenance, hut the mate- rials of his fabrications, whether found on the surface of the soil, as cotton, wool, & c., or under the soil, as metals, minerals, coals, & c. Having, as I conceive, clearly proved that the double operation of the home trade, as far as it goes, tends to the most rapid increase of the opulence of a country, I think, in due succession, that the inhabitants so employed will have the means of supplying themselves with those luxu- ries which foreign coutitriesmay produce, having the where* withal to make the required exchange : and here com- mences what I venture to term the legitimacy of foreign trade; for, till the home trade be fully saturated, the forcing foreign trade^ must be injurious, as far as it de- viates from this requisite point. When tampering statesmen interfereto check this natu- ral propensity, which every individual and every country must feel to increase the home product, the mischief produced is incalculable. Say, by the introduction of foreign grain, through the medium of the Customs, should certain considerable sums be thrown into the Exchequer, he only plavs the part of an inconsiderate spendthrift who, for a little ready money, charges liis estate cent, per cent, to supply his present extravagance, which must soon reduce the finest farms to a state of waste, impove- rish tenants, and famish labourers; rather trusting for prolonging a wretched existence to the charity of others, than enjoying the comfort and laudable pride of inde- pendent industry. I presume it would afford great satisfaction to every man who has the welfare of his country at heart, if some enlightened statesman would point out the essential benefit that has accrued to this country from the alteration of the Corn Laws of 1022, to those of the presert day, including also the tax of 2s. per head imposed on every sheep in the kingdom, effected by the duty removed from the importation of foreign fleeces. Sheep may properly be considered as living carriages of manure, without which wheat, in this country, cannot be raised previous to this ingenious experiment. The ordinary price of down wool was Is. fid. per lb.; at this moment, I believe, lOd. can hardly be procured; but to avoitl exaggeration I will take it at that pricc. A down fleece weighs on an average 31bs. producing formerly to the farmer, at Is. fid. per lb., 4s. fid. thus reduced to half a crown. So that as 000 sheep are necessary for manuring 100 acres of wheat, a tax of 401. per annum is added to his former heavy taxes, or lis. per acre on the cultivation of this indispensable necessary of life, to say nothing of the great deduction from the former value of his flock. May I be permitted to ask, if this wise measure be intended to place us on more advantageous terms of com- petition with foreigners, who work their lands unincum bered with taxes, and ignorant of the effect of these refined speculations ? Is it unreasonable to expect that some able statesman will step forth and inform us, by a short process, of the increased value of the whole king- dom from the operation of this judicious act ? or, should he feel some difficulty in demonstrating an increase in the whole mass, yet, at least, he will have the goodness to point out what convenience or accommodation it has produced to individuals. Let him call on the shop- keepers, who arc competent judges ( for if the retail dealer fails, the wholesale dealer cannot thrive), to point out their increase of profit on the occasion. For my own part, I am much inclined to fear no satisfactory balance will appear in either cane, but rather suspect a more de- cicUd mode of ruining our corn farms than taxing our manure cannot exist. . Had it appeared in the form of a direct tax upon sheep, which in effect it is, I think it would have excited not only an extraordinary degree of astonishment, but of resistance. It appears a kind of suicide, and the general voice would have declared that no one but a bitter enemy to the prosperity of our state, could have produced a measure so replete with mischief. It is now announced that the question of the corn trade is again about to be agitated. I think it would be obvious to the most ordinary understanding, that labour- ing as our existing agricultural interest does under its present load of taxes, direct and indirect, if any thing approaching a free importation of wheat be sanctioned by our Government, all competition must cease, and our corn farms remain altogether unproductive; the natural consequence of which must be, that the security of the public creditor will be diminished in exact proportion to this deterioration. This last heavy tax on farms possessed features so formidable and hideous, that it was necessary to disguise its natural appearance, so revolting, under a mask ; the pernicious measure, therefore, was introduced undet the name of the free importation of foreign wool; but the name rendered the tax, which in effect it was, no less oppressive, though indirect, but with this material difference, that had 0s. per acre on all wheat lands in the kingdom been added to our land tax, the product in our Exchequer would have been extremely considerable, whereas its present operation is only for the benefit of foreigners, and the improvement of their flocks, so as to leave us behind in all future competition. The public, I presume, were ignorant of the extent of the evil; but not so the ingenious inventor; he must have been aware of the ill omened bird his egg would produce. Such was the case, no doubt, with the proposer of the stamp duties on legal process, which laitl the poor man's property at the feet of his wealthy neighbour, who, should he take a fancy to his field or cottage, the former would lind it more prudent to give it up, on whatever terms may be offered, rather than retain it at the ruinous expense of a legal contest. The amount of duty or tax on foreign wheat admitted for home consumption from the 1st of July 1827, to the 31st January 1828, was upwards of (> 00,000/. At a meeting held last week by the Society for Encouragement of Industry and Reduction of Poor's Rates, it was resolved, that it is an indispensable duty, incumbent upon every rank and class of the community, to induce his Majesty's Government to adopt measures necessary for providing employment for the unoccupied population by the cultivation of waste lands, and at the same tisie renewing the repealed laws, by which ma- gistrates were authorised, by settling the wages of labour, to secure a just remuneration to the labourer. VACCINATION.— Extracts from the last report of the National Vaccine Establishment to the Secretary of State for the Home Department; " The result of the last year's experience is highly favourable to vaccination; and we hear most satisfac- torily, not only of its protective influence, but of its wider diffusion With regard to the diffusion of this pre- tection, we are satisfied that the prejudices against it are 1 ss pertinacious than they were; and in proof of its wider diffusion, we learn that it is practised, not only through- out the Morea and the countries inhabited by the Greeks, but that it has been admitted into Constantinople, and into the Palace of the Sultan, in spite of the prejudices which the religion of the Mahometans opposes to any measure intended to interfere with the destinies of life. So that the advantages which this country lieiived from the east, by the acquisition of inoculation from thence, it has now abundantly requited, by imparting to the same region the safer practice of vaccination, by which the small- pox, equal to their own plague in the severity of its visitations, has been already disarmed of its terrors, and in the course of years may, possibly, be extinguished altogether." A patent has recently been obtained for fix- ing shoes on horses without nailing— if effectually accom- plished, every friend to that noble animal will support it. A few days since, as some labourers, in the employ of Lord Seymour, were digging and sloping the land on the shore opposite Norris Castle ( Isle of Wight), they discovered some boards in the form of a long box or coffin, jammed in betwixt some rocks, which contained the skeletons of two human bodies; and on removing them, another small box was found across the inner end, containing the remains of a child. The top of the longer box was formed of two pieces, and cut in the shape of a coffin. The bones were put into a shell, and deposited in Whippingham church- yard. Conjecture has been very busy tn account for a whole family ( as it appears to be) being buried there ; but as no evidence could be adduced before the Coroner's Jury, the matter must remain in- volved in mystery. Distinction of Sheep.— Within the last few weeks no less than one hundred and twenty- live sheep have been killed or mutilated at Grimsby. Some had their throats cut. and were found ( lead; the greater part, however, were discovered with the sinews of their legs cut through. One man was last week committed to Lincoln Castle on suspicion of being concerned in these abomin- able acts. Last week three valuable horses, the pro- perty of Col. Horner, of Mells Park, diediu consequencc of eating yew. DREADFUL EVENT.— A most calamitous and destructive-. event took place yesterday morning, at the Brunswick Theatre, Well- street, Well- close- square. The rehearsal was going 6 « at about half- past eleven o'clock, and the entire strength of the company were on the si » . ge, preparing for the evening's exhibition ( that of Guy Man- nering), when suddenly a cracking noise was heard from the cast- iron roof of the building, and almost instanta- neously it fell in with a tremendous crash, throwing the front wall into the street, and breaking down two houses on the opposite side of the street. The shouts and wait- ings of the persons inclosed within the'ruins were of the most pitiable description. The above Theatre was opened for the first time on Monday night last under the management of Mr. Percy Farren, brother of Mr. Farren of Covent Garden Theatre. The house was full both on Monday and Tuesday night, and was expected to be so yesterday evening. As soon as the news reached the Tower, a detachment of the military was ordered to the spot, to preserve order and to offer every possible assistance to the sufferers. Police officers, from different offices, were likewise soon in attendance. As to the origin of this melancholy event, the prevalent opinion is, that it is attributable to the weight of the roof pressing too heavily oil the walls, the latter, from the damp : ess of the weather, not being properly settled, and not of sufficient strength to sustain the weight of the roof. lL is stated that the new wall was of only two bricks thick- ness.— It is said that the building and decorating of the theatre cost upwards of 30,000/. Two drays belonging to Mr. Elliott, brewer, Pimlico, were passing at the time of the fall; the one in advance escaped, but that in the rear was overwhelmed, and the team of animals were killed on the spot. Upon inquiries, it appears, that not more than 100 per- sons were in the theatre at the time- the accident happened. The bodies dug out at a late hour this morning were— Mr. Maurice, printer, of Fenchurch- street, principal proprietor ; Mr. E. Gilbert, a performer; Miss Fearon, sister to Madame Fearon, and Miss Freeman, actresses; Robert Purdy, a blacksmith ; Allis and Penfold, door- keepers; Jesse Miles, a carpenter; and Levi, a clothes- man, who was reading the play- bill at the door. Up- wards of twenty sufferers were carried off to the London Hospital. The piece in rehearsal being musical, the orchestra Was full, and it is reared all the performers have perished. COURT of CHANCERY, Feb. 21 .— Footner v. Figes— This was an application on the part of the de- fendant, who lives at Romsey, in Hampshire, to change the venue in a feigned issue directed by the late Vice- Chancellor, Sir John Leach, from Wiltshire to London. It appeared that the issue was directed upwards of two years ago for the purjiose of trying the validity of a cer- tain agreement for a lease of 21! public houses in Hants, said to have been entered into by the defendant and his late partner, Mr. Robert Godfrey Longcroft, with one Richard Newman, Esq. a brewer of Romsey, deceased. The grounds on which the defendant rested his applica- tion were, that considerable local prejudice existed against him in the country, and that he was not likely to have so fair a trial at Salisbury ( being distant only 15 miles from Romsey) as in London ; that he had been under the ne- cessity of changing liis solicitor, who had not been able to obtain the papers in the cause from his former solici- tors. The Lord Chancellor, after hearing Counsel on both sides on affidavits, dismissed the application with costs. POACHING— Mr. Henry Hunt has published the following, as being, in his opinion, the best means of putting an end to poaching: " In endeavouring to remove the causes which lead to poaching, I would first remove the temptation ; I would abolish gamekeepers, and disperse all the large preserves, of game indiscrimatelv over the country, making every farmer and occupier of land the natural and unpaid pro- tector of game that might be bred on the land which he occupies, giving the right of property in the game to him who is at the expense of growing the crops of corn, & c. on which they feed and are reared, reserving the right of sporting, of course, to the landlord." It is now twelve months since the fire was first discovered in Holworth Cliff, near Weymouth, and although it has never ceased to bum during that time, still the orifice does not appear to be much enlarged ; those however who have watched its progress, cannot but have observed how much the internal fire has increased since it was first noticed. The most extraordinary Physical and Literary Phenomenon in the United States— At a small village, near Pittsburg, on tlie Ohio, the wife of a faiseur de reseaux, or manufacturer of hand- nets, has been just accouchee of her first boy, in whom the following prodigy appears. Round the pupil of the left eye, along the con- fines of the white, or eye- ball, are distinctly traced, in Gothic or Anglo Norman characters, the words 1 Buy the Crypto while the left eye displays, in a smaller type, but of similar description, '• The Receptacle for Things Past.' The College of Boston have pronounced this sin- gular Lusus Naturæ to have proceeded from an adver- tisement of " The Crypt" in a West of England paper, which had created in the woman, pendant qu' elle etoit enceinte, an anxious impatience to see the lmle Journal itself. A most unprecedented demand for that publica- tion has ensued, and upwards of 300,000 copies are at this moment prepared for embarkation in a steam- vessel of five and forty horse power, now building for the ex- press purpose of their transmission across the Atlantic.

" With regard to No. I. of the FOREIGN REVIEW now before us, we have to say. that its contents are vari- ous, exceedingly well chosen, and very ably written. It is almost an impropriety to particularise the papers, since nearly all are leplete with intelligence and instruction. We look upon this number to be eminently calculated to inspire and cultivate a taste for foreign literature."— Li- terary Gazette. " No one but a writer, perfectly acquainted with the secret policy of France, co i! d have written the eloquent article on M. de Montlosier's work, entitled ' Les Jesuites, les Congrégations et le parti- prétre en France.

Ti e leading paper, by Dr. Southey, ( as we are given to understand) is full fraught with his various and appropriate information. The Life and Writings of Werner is truly a superior article; for eloquence— fancy — sprightliness, at. d a certain delightful turn of thought- tender, if not profound, we have not often met with its equal. With respect to the work generally, we do not doubt of its popularity ; it possesses variety— knowledge — just principles of taste— sound notions on the Score of religion and ethics."— Sun. " On lot king over this number, tve scruple not ( 0 pro* nounce it far superior to its rival; the opening aitide, by Dr. Southey, 011 the History of Burgundy, is curious and interesting; that on the German Drama, by Mr. Carlyle, and on the Peninsular War, by the Rev.

FRIDAY, Feb. 29.— Mr. Brougham, in moving the Order of the Day for the resumed debate on the State of the Law, suggested the expediency of each Member limiting the scope of his observations to aseparate depart, ment; for instance, one might select the Welsh Juris- diction— another the Courts of Common Law— another the Jurisdiction of Magistrates; and so on. The Solicitor- General thought that the subject had better be referred to two commissions— one to inquitc into, and report upon, the state of the Common Law— the other for the Civil Law. The Attorney- General agreed with the Hon. Mover, that inquiry should be instituted; but he thought too much was embraced within that commission, and lie • would only approve a Commission limited to practical purposes. Mr. Peel thought it would be better to limit the ob- jects of enquiry, and to state precisely the objects to which the Committee's attention were to be directed. Sir Janus Scarlett thought some of the reforms might be obtained rather by a Bill than by a Committee of en- quiry. Mr. Brougham replied to the objections of his Hon. and learned friends, which, he contended, left his state- ment wholly untouched, and concluded with declaring, that no question of reform was so ripe in the minds of the people as law reform, or to which they looked with so much anxiety to the Legislature. The motion of the Hon. Gentleman was then put, and agreed to, and the House adjourned at One o'clock. London. SATURDAY, MARCH 1.

He observed, that although success had not crowned their endeavours, they were not to be discouraged at the result; that on looking round the room, the sight of so numerous a body of the re- spectable inhabitants of the borough assured him of a future victory; and he trusted that when their support might be again required for the worthy Major, they would all be found ready at their posts. The health of that gentleman was then drunk with unbounded applause. After which the healths of Colonel Gordon, Sir Frederick George Johnstone, and every branch of the family, were drunk with the gscatest enthusiasm. T. F. Buxton, Esq. one of our worthy Mem- bers, has caused BOO bushels of coals to be distributed among the poor of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis. W. Wyndham, Esq. M. P. and family are arrived, and have taken up their residence in the Belvidere. Died on the 21st inst. at a boarding school in Guernsey, Emma Louisa, third daughter of the late Richard Judd, of Wyke Regis, aged 13. A few days since died at Wyke Regis, deeply lamented Mr. Keeping, aged 62. We understand that the report of a speech ( given in our last Journal) said to have been delivered by Mr. Sugden, at a dinner after he had b « n elected for this place, is inaccurate: he is stated to have said that " Mr. Steward had attempted to ascertain the utmost value of his influence, and see, as he has often boasted, whether he could return a member independent of the town." We now have authority for saying that Mr. Steward has not any personal acquaintance whatever with Mr. Sugden, and that if it be true that Mr. Sugden made such a statement, it is without any authority from Mr. Steward, who never made a declaration, which he con- siders at once so arrogant, unconstitutional, and silly as that which is imputed to him by Mr. Sugden. To the Editor of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal. WEYMOUTH ELECTION. Sir,— I shall feel obliged if you will correct an error which lias appeared in several of the newspapers, respect- ing the right of voting claimed at our late election, under the will of the late Samuel Weston, Esq., in respect of property devised by him to his nine children. It is stated, that a vote was tendered on a moiety of the ninth of a fee farm rent, and that the friends of Major Wey- land having allowed it to pass unnoticed, the question as to the admission of the votes ( about 260 in number) remains in statu quo. Now, the real facts are these :— The first vote that was tendered under the late Mr. Weston's will, was on an undivided ninth part of a fee farm rent of the yearly value of lfis. ( id., and the second was on an undivided ninth part of a freehold of tile yearly value of 2s. fid. The question was distinctly put, by the learned assessor, to the counsel on both sides,— whether there was any objection to either of these votes; and none being offered by them, the votes were considered as good, and entered as such in the poll- book. It follows as a natural consequence, that if these are good, all the others are equally valid; and if any con- firmation were necessary, the family are in possession of opinions given, after due consideration, by several property lawyers of the first eminence ; amongst whom are Sir John Copley ( the present Lord Chancellor), the late Mr. Serjeant Lens, Mr. C. F. Williams, and Mr. Chitty, all of whom declare their validity in the most unqualified terms. I remain, Sir, Your most obedient servant, GEORGE ARDEN, WEYMOUTH, 28thFeb. 1828. POOLE. Feb. 29.

A meeting of the District Societies for Pro- moting Christian Knowledge, and for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts, will be held in this city about the middle of April. The Lord Bishop of Winchester has consented to preside, and the Very Rev. the Dean to advocate the claims of both societies by a sermon at the Cathedral. The third amateur concert and ball for this season, took place at St. John's House in this city, on Thursday last, and was well attended. The vocal per- formances included several popular glees, and met with great applause. After the concert, quadrilles were kept up until a late hour. At our Lent lair on Monday last, a large quantity of Cheese was pitched, some of which was left unsold.— Fine Somerset fetched from 70s. to 75s. per cwt.; seconds ditto, 56s. to 63s.; fine Wiltshire, 60s. to fills.; seconds, 52s. to 58s.; skim 80s. to 38s— There was a large show of horses, principally of the nag kind, but met with a dull sale. On Wednesday the 27th inst. departed this life, Mr. Josiah Jerrard, of Burgate Farm, near For- dingbridge, leaving a large family, together with a nu- merous circle of friends, to deplore the loss of one whose benevolent dispositions,. with many other Christian vir- tues, must evei render his memory sacred, and his loss irreparable. Wednesday last died at Wick, near Christ- church, deeply and deservedly regretted, Mrs, Daw, re- lict of the late Ambrose Daw, Esq. Romsey market on Thursday was laigely supplied with fat sheep and oxen, and being fully at- tended, business was brisker than for many preceding market days. One pen of 40 wethers fetched 100 guineas, and a lot of fat lambs, bred by Mrs. Middleton, at Grove Place, realized 36s a piece Pigs were very dear Wheat, 12/ to 15/ per load ; Barley, 27s to 29s; Oats, 20s to 28s; Beans, 4fis to 52s; Peas, 42s to 50s pet quarter; Malt, 7s 6d per bushel.

SATURDAY, MARCH 1. On Monday evening, an introductory lecture was delivered at the rooms of the Southampton Literary and Philosophical Institution, by the Rev. Dr. Wilson, ( the Vice President,) to a crowded audience. Consider- ing that a short time only has elapsed since the formation of this Society, we think, from the progress already made, there is every reason to believe it will meet with very general support. The Museum is even now highly at- tractive, and from the numerous otters of specimens which have been made, both by way of gift and loan, the Committee of Management will ere long be enabled to make a splendid exhibition. The lecture was such as did honor to the wise discri- mination of the Rev. Gentleman who delivered it. If the views there advocated should, as they ought lo, form the governing principles of the Institution, we have little doubt of its becoming a permanent source of instruction and pleasure to those who have a taste for intellectual acquirements, and feel an interest in the general welfare and best interests of society. On Tuesday last, before the Mayor and Magistrates at the Audit- house, Charles Cole and Wm. Payne, two boys, were committed to the Common Gaol, charged with having on the previous evening stolen two loaves of bread from a shop in Kingsland Place. No less than 5 shops in Kingsland Place have lately lost con- siderable quantities of bread. On Wednesday Sarah Bowler was committed on a charge of having stolen ( from the person of a coachman) 410/. in bank bills and notes, the property of Mr. James Warehouse, one of the proprietors of the Nimrod coach.

NEWPORT, Feb. 29 We had hoped that the sen- tence of transportation passed on Kingswell and Bason, at our last sessions, would have put a stop to the practice of housebreaking, which then so generally prevailed in this town and its neighbourhood; but our hopes have not been realized, as very many such offences have since been committed, and die perpetrators of several of them hitherto remain unknown ; but on Saturday last, at our petty sessions, two were committed to Winchester Gaol, to take their trial at the ensuing assizes : one- cjf them, Rhoda Cassels, a voting girl not sixteen years of age, for breaking and entering the dwelling- house of William Phillips, of Ryde, and stealing therefrom some silver coin, a tea- spoon, and pair of shoes; the other, George Biles, for breaking and entering the sleeping apartment of the men servants of Mr. Gleed, of Carisbrooke, and steal- ing therefrom a trunk containing the money and clothes of one of the labourers, of the name of Squib. On Saturday three men, of the names of Good, West, and Midlane, were lodged in our Bridewell, for having been found on board a boat liable to forfeiture under the revenue laws. We have great satisfaction in being able to state, that Mr. Mew, who met with the dreadful accident mentioned in our last paper, Is doing extremely well, and great hopes are entertained of a speedy recovery.

Archdeacon Owen, on the collation of the Lord Bishop of this Diocese. The Rev. John Mervin Prower, 15. A., has been instituted, by the Lord Bishop, to the vicarage of Purton, Wilts, on the presentation of Lord Shaftesbury. Richard Benyon de Beauvoir, Esq. of Engle- field- house, has been elected by the Corporation of Wal- lingford, to the office of High Steward of the borough, vacant by the death of the late Earl of Radnor. A publication has recently appeared under the title of The Tale of a Modern Genius, which has attracted a more than usual share of notice from the nu- merous periodicals of the day._ The Reviewers enter largely into the views and merits of the writer and his production, ami concur in recommending it to the favour- able notice of the public. Our readers generally may not perhaps he aware that this work presents an accurate memoir of the leading events in the chequered life of an author, a native of the West of England, and well known within the circuit of this paper, whose literary labours have obtained for him 110 inconsiderable rank amongst the poets of the present age. The difficulties and vicissi- tudes he has had to struggle with, the mortifying disap- pointments he has encountered, and the seemingly insu- perable difficulties he had daily and almost hourly to contend with, resemble romance more than reality, and are here faithfully and feelingly narrated. The progress of a man gifted with talent and genius under circum- stances so chilling and unpropitious, presents much to attract and interest; and as the work is enriched with many important notices of the more early antiquities of Dorset and the adjacent counties, these volumes cannot fail to be a welcome addition to the libraries of our friends, 011 whose shelves we contidently recommend them an early place. CAUTION.— It is not perhaps generally known that any person acting as an apppraiser, not being duly licenced, or an auctioneer, is subject to the penalty of 50/. BIRTH.— Saturday 1he 23d inst. at Corsley Rectory, the lady of the Rev. R. C. Griffith, of a son. Married, on Thursday, at St. Augustine's, Bristol, by the Venerable the Archdeacon of Berks, the Rev.

Saturday last was married at Winterborne Dantsey, Mr. Thomas Sainsbury, of Hurdcott, to Miss Harriett Shears, of the former place. Died at sea, on the 6th day of September last, Samuel Henville, eldest son of the Rev. Samuel Slocock, Rector of Wasing, Berks. Died suddenly, at Mere, on Monday evening last, Mrs. J. White, whose loss will be long mourned, not only by the family from which she is so suddenly called away, but by a circle of friends who were attached to her by her conciliating manners and good heart. On Wednesday, Feb. 20th, died, at Heytes- bury, in the 65th year of her age, after a long and pain- ful illness, which she endured with truly Christian forti- tude, Sarah, wife of Mr. Edw. Wickham, of that place. Died on the 21st of February, aged 70, deeply lamented by a large circle of friends and ac- quaintance, Mary, wife of Robert Henning, Esq. solici- tor, of Dorchester. On Tuesday last died, in the 54th year of her age, Bridget, wife of Mr. Richard Lucas, of Tisbury, and late of this city. An awful instance of sudden death occurred at Blandford 011 Thursday - last, to Mr. John Keynes, fellmonger, who, on leaving the Church after the morn- ing prayers, fell down and expued instautty. ACCIDENT.— On Friday the 15th ult. as Joseph Moon, carter to Mr. Dowding, of Porton, was on his way to Warminster market, with a narrow- wheeled waggon, containing fourteen quarters of barley, he slipped from the shafts, and the near wheels passed over his body and thigh, by which he was severely injured. The unfortunate man was immediately removed to the King's Head at Chittern, where, from the attention psid him by the medical gentleman^ alled in ( Mr. Jacob Lampard, of Heytesbury), it is hoped he will shortly recover.

SALISBURY INFIRMARY, Saturday March 1— In- patients: admitted 13, discharged 15.— Out- patients: admitted 19, discharged 1! Patients in the House 90. To the MAGISTRATES of the County of WILTS. GENTLEMAN,— Before I introduce the few observa- tions I have to offer, I beg to assure you that it is with the utmost deference I presume to make the present appeal. To many of you the subject of it is not altogether rem— to others, the real state of the case may not be known. I shall therefore, as briefly as tile circumstances will admit, state to you the causes which have led to it. The fact is, that in December last, a gentleman of ( lis highest respectability, and a military officer of { jnk,. at the request of a friend, wrote to me respecting two prisoners confined in the County Gaol on a charge of murder: he related the alarming circumstances attending their situation, and the fearful prospect of its termina- tion ; at tile same time, earnestly entreating riic to visit them. Such a request, under such circumstances, com- manded and received my immediate attention. Nrit being acquainted with the precise mode of obtaining admission to the prisoners, I repaired to the Gaol, and enquired of the Governor in what way I could accom- plish it; he told me that if I procured an order from a County Magistrate, I could be admitted. Having obtained such order, I visited the two men in the Gaol, accompanied by the Governor's nephew ; and our conversation was such as might naturally have been expected, upon the subject of religion. In about a fortnight afterwards I repeated my visit, having pre- viously obtained another order of admission— the same subject was of course renewed. After remaining with them a few minutes, again accompanied by the Go- vernor's nephew, and from whom I received the great- est attention, I again left them, with the intention and promise of paying another visit after the same lapse of time. I must also arid that the prisoners expressed themselves in very grateful terms for my attention to them— so much did they feel the comfort of such intci- views. A few days only had elapsed from the time of my last seeing them, when I was informed that, in fu- ture, my visits to the prisoners would be prevented. On hearing this, the next day, being on a Saturday, I again went to tile gaol for the purpose of ascertaining the truth of what I had heard. Upon enquiring of the governor as to the truth of the report, he confirmed it. It was upon this occasion that I obtained from the Rev. Mr. Duke, who was then the visiting Magistrate at the gaol, the ground for his interference. He told liie that he consi- dered such visits to the gaol by a Layman as a violation of the 59th rule, of the Prison Regulations, and then read me the order which he had entered in the minute book, directing the governor to suspend all future orders of admission. I stop not here to enquire how far Mr. Duke was justified in cancelling the orders of his Brother Ma- gistrates, so as to prevent my future admission— but will make a few remarks upon tile rule which he con- siders to have been violated. As to tile fifty- ninth rule, in its literal sense, the question of a Layman visiting the Gaol does not appear to have been in con- templation by those who framed it; it evidently re- lates to a " Minister of Religion," or in other words, to a Clergyman ; and as to the spirit of the rule, it surely never could have been intended to bear the in- terpretation affixed to it by Mr. Duke. Such an inter- pretation necessarily involves the most cruel and distress- ing consequences;— for, if such be the meaning, then the afflicted parent may not visit his unhappy child, or the kind and benevolent friend his unfortunate neighbour, until he has first been pledged not to enter upon the subject of religion. Is it possible that such a conclusion, so revolting to humanity, can be the scope and intention of the rule ? Surely not I Had I engaged with the pri- soners in any act which might have been considered of a ministerial nature, such, for instance, as praying with them, I admit that there would have been some degree of plausibility in Mr. Duke's conduct— but I beg to assure you, that nothing more then a few serious re- flections arising from tlieir precarious situation formed the subject of our conversation. In addition to which, I left a Tract on Repentance, which was sanctioned by the aoprobation of the Chaplain of the Gaol. The meaning of the rule in question appears obvious, and may, in that sense, be strictly proper, viz.— to prevent that dis. order and confusion which might probably arise from the ministration of other Clergymen : but will Mr. Duke venture to affirm that the mere circumstance of a Layman speaking upon the subject of religion, is an in- fringement upon the duty of a Chaplain ? Not so speaks the Church, of which the Rev. Mr. Duke is a Minister— Not so speaks one of her Canons, which enjoins the duty of visiting the sick and poor— Not so speaks the great Head of the Church who pronounces a blessing upon him who visits a prison ; and who has said, " Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." But Mr. Duke states that he should be apprehensive of very serious evils bv taking my view of the subject, as it would be throwing open the gaol indiscriminately to all denominations of Chris- tians, such as" Methodists. Independents, Baptists, Qua- kers, and even Roman Catholics." Now, not to offer any opinion upon the supposed mag- nitude of such an evil, surely it would not be an evil be- yond the reach of effectual remedy, while the Magis- trates are vested with a discretionary power as to granting admission, or not; and further; I confess, I see but little reason to fear that, under Ijny circumstances, the gaol would be over- run by such visitors. The duty, I hardly need say, is not . so inviting ifs to urge people to it from motives of idle curiosity. Any motive short of the real one, a regard for the eternal welfare of a perishing fellow- creature, is by far too low a principle to induce such visits. I speak this from experience. Gentlemen, I will not further weary your patience, by- entering into long and protracted arguments upon the inexpediency of Mr. Duke's proceedings; I will merely recapitulate what I have before stated, which is simply this,— that a gentleman of high rank and respectability, from a feeling of the greatest benevolence, requested me to visit two unhappy criminals in the County Gaol, and who, there is too much reason to fear, will, if convicted, soon forfeit their lives to the violated laws of their coun- try ; that in consequence of this request, I readily en- tered upon that interesting though self- denying duty ; that, to my great regret, one of the visiting Justices, and above all a Clergyman, has interposed to prevent the exercise of so charitable a deed, and in a way, too, that might have been the least expected. Now, Gentlemen, under these circumstances, I would respectfully submit to you, as Magistrates and as Chris- tians, whether the Rev. Mr. Duke is justified in the step he has taken. But there are other considerations ( and to which I trust I may be permitted to refer without incur- ring the charge of arrogance and presumption) which might at least have had sufficient weight to have shel- tered me from the ungracious treatment I have received. I allude, Gentlemen, to the situation I hold in Salisbury; I have the honor of belonging to the Corporation of this City, and of holding a very responsible office in connec- tion with it. I have also had the still greater honor of being its chief Magistrate. Surely then, I might have hoped that my general character would have afforded a sufficient pledge for the propriety of my conduct, and thus have protected me from the charge of " officiousness and intrusion," merely because I have felt a deep interest in the melancholy fate of two unfortunate prisoners. More especially considering that the whole amount of my visits would probably not have exceeded five or six, the two, which I was permitted to make, having been at an intei- val of a fortnight. In conclusion, I think it necessary to state that I make this appeal in consequence of Mr. Duke having intimated his intention of bringing the subject before you ; at the same time informing me, that I was at full liberty to address the Bench of Magistrates, which, in vindication of myself, as well as to avoid misrepresentation, I take this opportunity of doing. I therefore leave the affair in your hands, believing, that, whatever may be your opi- nion as to the point at issue, I shall, at least, meet with a much greater share of courtesy and respect than I have received at the hands of the Rev. Mr. Duke. I have the honor to be. GENTLEMEN, Your obedient and humble Servant, GEORGE ATKINSON. SALISBURY, Feb. 29, 1828. HOME MARKETS,( WeeklyComparative Return.) ANDOVER, Feb. 23— Wheat oas.
