TT ad verted at some leu*; th to the tale of tl. e resolution in favour of ihe Catholics in- the Lords, lie said, how- ever the result w as to he regretted, there was much ground of vatisfacliou. to bun, aud to the Catholics also, iu the tone of the debate and the sentiments of the speakers who opposed emancipation there. He trusted that no expression of disconti lit or disappoint nient would escape from the Roman Catholics during the prorogation, and that some measure would next se* siou be brought forward by 1 lie government,. Mr. Secretiny PKUI. s. iid, thul as the Hon. Baronet had expressed a hope that it would he a question taken up by Ministers iu the course ' of the next ISessioii of Parliament, bethought it best to rise and speak, rn order to prevent the possibility of mistake. His individual opinions were already well known ou rhe subject, au< l to these he begged to refer. With resprei to the Ministry, he said that any member of it Uifght briny the question forward individually, but of this he hedged to he nuderslood as only staling what might occur, lie snw no reason to alter his opinions, which he had so often expressed, connected with the question. Ou the motion of Sir J OIIAHAM, the House re- resolved itself into a Committee on the General Turnpike Aet Amendment Bill; and the Bill went through the Committee.. HOUSE' OF LORDS — FRIDAY. Tlie Corn Bill was read a second time on the motion of the Duke of Wellington. The measure was strongly oppo » eil by the Earls of Lauderdale and Malmesbnry, the Marquis of Bristol, Earl Stanhope, and I ord Redesdale, as not giving sufficient protection to the agriculturist. On a division, the reading was carried by 8( 5 to 19. [ The majority being so decisive, it is thought no further opposition will be offered to the measure.] HOUSE OF COMMONS- FltlOAY. The Small Notes Bill was read a second time with- out debate, it being agreed that the merits should be further discussed on bringing up the Report. The House afterwards went into committee on the Army Estimates, the whole of which were ultimately agreed to after a long conversation. The Bill to legalise the Sale of Game was considered iu committee, and some unimportant additions made lo it. Mr. \ VIR. MOT HORTON gave notice of a motion for the 3d of July, for a Select Committee to inquire into fhe slate of the laws regarding the discipline and practice of the Established Chinch, and the relaxa- tions as connected with Ihe toleration of the Roman Catholics. [ It is meant to found upon this motion a discussion of the whole question as applicable to the Catholic Question.] HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY, On the question for the House going into a Com- mittee on the Small Motes Bill, Mr. HUME moved that the Bill should be committed that day six months. Lord HOWICK seconded the amendment of Mr. Hume, which was supported further by Alderman THOMPSON and Mr. BANKES. Mr. W. \ V. W it IT MORE hoped the Government would persevere in the course of returning to a metallic currency. Mr. FeEl; supported the proposition for going into a committee, expressing the determination of govern- ment to persevere in the return to a gold currency. As to the proposition for silver standard, which had been suggested, the Government would not. efttertain it for a moment. The motion for going into a committee was then carried by a majority of 115 to 24 j afier which the Report was received, and ordered for further consi- deration on Thursday next. Several petitions were presented, praying for the removal of the restrictions on the general trade to India. [ The House of Lords was chiefly occupied in receiving pet it s on various subjects.

The Gazette of yesterday announces that his Majesty lias been pleased to appoint the Right Hon. " William Vesey Fitzgerald President of the Board of Trade and Foreign Plantations. A Supplement to the St. Petersburg^. Gazette of May 24, received yesterday, contains a report from the theatre of war, dated the 16th of May. Bucharest was occupied o. i the 12th by the vanguard of the sixth cavalry corps. The rapidity of the Russian advance saved the capital of Moldavia from the ruin that threatened it. The fortress of Brailow was invested on the 11th; on the 10th the heavy cannon reached ; and on the 17th the Grand Duke Michael, to whom the siege was especially entrusted, arrived. It is not thought that it can hold out long, as the garrison is but weak. No action of any importance had taken place up to the date of the report, which is made by General Wittgenstein.— By a letter from Odessa of the 28th of May, received at Berlin on the 4th inst. it is ascertained that up to that date the Danube had not been passed, on account of the swollen state of the river. The Emperor and Empress arrived at Odessa from Brender on the 27th.

The Scotsman states on authority, that Sir George Clerk, Bart. Member for the county of Edinburgh, is appointed Secretary for Ireland. It is is affirmed to- day that the Finance Committee will probably be enabled, before the close of tlie present Session, to announce a saving of £ 1,500,000 in the expenditure of the country, out of those departments to which their labours have thus far been directed. A growing improvement is stated to be observable in the Revenue. The surplus in the Excise depart- ment, compared with the first five months of last year, is s& id to amount, to nearly a million sterling. Colonel Berkeley has presented a petition to his Majesty, claiming the Barony of Berkeley, as owner of Berkeley Castle, which is stated to possess the privilege, like that of Arundel, of ennobling ts possessor. The petition has been referred to a Committee of Privileges. Colonel Berkeley's petition, claiming the Barony of Berkeley, has no relation to the hereditary Earl- dom. It is said to involve some of the most curious points of antiquarian research and constitutional law, ns it relates to the original formation of the House of Peers.— Worccster Jourtia l.

D. gratified a highly genteel and numerous audience by their delivery of some of the most admired passages in antient and modern literature. The ardent and general applause which was elicited evinced the pleasure of the com- pany and the merit of the speakers; a list of whom, and of the passages spoken, is inserted below. The difficult Greek and Latin Speeches were delivered with great confidence and perspicuity, as were also those in the English language, accompanied with that ease of action, and just perception of the Author, which education and study alone have it in their power to command or bestow. In no instance was the " modesty of nature" exceeded. Admitting the general correctness and excellence of each, we must be permitted to particularize fi. few. The address of " Henry the Fifth to his Soldiers at Harfleur" was delivered by Mr. Shilleto, in a most masterly and spirit- stirring style. That impressive piece, bv Mrs. Hemans, " The Land of the Pilgrim Fathers," was spoken by Mr. Charles Wicksteed in a j beautiful and effective manner. Mr. Hildyard, in several parts of Phillips's humorous piece, " The Splendid Shilling," displayed very considerable comic powers. Mr. George Kennedy, in his description of " Review Writers and Readers," ( a Latin piece by his brother Mr. B. H. Kennedy), received a well- deserved meed of approbation ; as did Mr. Grove and Mr. Ho\ lkins in their respective efforts. Camp- bell's « List Man," by Mr. Hennev, and « The Disappearance of the Goblin Page," by Mr Scott, obtained great applause; and the " Immuring of Constance," by Mr. Sale, which was chastely and most effectively spoken, and rapturously applauded. 1 L.

THE CATHOLIC QUESTION.— We congratulate our Protestant fellow- subjects on the decision that has taken place in the House of Lordsj by which the insidious resolution of the Commons has been stultified and rejected. We have, in Our 4th page, inserted the whole of the Duke of Wellington's speech. u Let any man," says a cotemporary, " read this speech, and he will there see the perfect impossibility of any arrangement giving full poli- tical power to Roman Catholics passing through Parliament, if Roman Catholics be what we know they are. As we are happily precluded by the whole tenour of our laws from borrowing the Pope's help in the administration of the govern- ment, we must have other securities." And in this speech by the Noble Duke, he has concisely stated what these securities should be, and what he con- | siders can be the only terms upon which the demands of the Roman Catholics ought ever to be listened to.— First, that securities for the Established Church shall be found secondly, lhat th - y shall be adopted and acquiesced in by the Roman Catholics, —' thirdly, that they shall be permitted to operate so long, as that the state shall have had full proof of their sufficiency, and until the ill influence of the present system shall have been worn out ; after which the admission of Roman Catholics to a full participation of political power may be safely can- vassed— Some of the liberal Editors, who have strained the Noble Duke's manly and open expres- sion of his sentiments into a promise of submission to Rom^ n Catholic importunity, will be undeceived by a reference to what fell from Mr. Peel on Thurs- day night; but, lest the public mind should be free from irritation on this subject, we perceive that Mr. Wilniot Horton has given notice of a motion for the 3d of July, that will again bring on a discussion of the Roman Catholic Question iu the House of Commons.

LORD MOUNT- SANDFOKD.— Fatal Affray.— On the night of 1 hursda\ week, a party of artisans, prin- cipally shoemakers, were drinking in the tap attached lo the Castle Inn, Windsor. They had some bets on the racing at Ascot, aud one of them, named Chuich, produced a half- sovereign by way of deposit. Another of the party, named Fear, snatched up the half sove- reign, substituting a sixpence iu its stead. These parties had some angry words iu consequence, and left the lap together, going into the street. While there Feni challenged his opponent to fight, hut ihe latter declined, and insisted to have the matter drop- ped, and go home. The challenging aud refusal to fight attracted the attention of Lord Mount Sandford, who,' with two or three companions, wa » passing along the street at the time. The latter endea* onred in vain lo cxeile the quarrel, encouraging the parties to tight. When they could not do so, they called them a pack of cowards. Among the partv ol- speetulors w; is a man named Briuklett, aud he having taken tiie observations of the party of gentlemen in dudgeon, mid being a stout man, replied sharply. A hustling emnmencMl between all the part: e- » , aud Biiukletl, being knocked down iu the sen hie, immediately on regaining his legs commenced au indisci imiuateattack on the party. The first object of his wrath happened unfortunately to he Lord Munnt- Sandford, whom he struck down with a blow on the head, and when down kicked his lordship violently about the head and neck. His Lordship was conveyed into the Castle Inn, where lie has remained since. Surgical assistance was im mediately obtained. Mr. O'Beilly, surgeon to the King, was sent for, who treated the wounded noble- man as his opinion of the ease demanded. For a lev* days no danger was anticipated, although it \ v; is found that the skull had been fractured ; but on Wednesday aud 1 htrrsday very bad symptoms appearing, it was deemed- advisalde to get further surgical assistance, and Dr. Brodre was called in on the. latter day. The efforts of the faculty were, howe\ er. exerted in vain; for early on Saturday morning his Lordship expii ed . — His Lordship was au Irish Baron, aud descended fiom ihe ancient family of Sandford, of Sandford, in the county of Salop.

The collections at St. Alktnond's, on Sunday last, after two sermons for the Sunday Schools belonging to that parish, amounted to £ 25. 0s. 5d. On Thursday last, the arrival of the intelligence that Sir Francis Burdett's motion had been rejected by the House of Lords, w as announced in this town by ringing the bells at most of the Churches. Hay- making is now become general in this and the adjoining- counties, and the mowers say they do not recollect a season when the swarth was heavier. Committed to our County Gaol, William Forrall, charged with breaking into the dwelling house of Joseph Green, and stealing a flitch of bacon and other articles; William Ferriday, charged with stealing an iron bow and an iron box, the property of Thomas Armstrong; Jane Pinch on, charged with stealing two fowls, the property of Thomas Wilson; Thomas Perry, charged with stealing a quantity of! hay, fhe property of John Page; Peter Turner and ! John Davies, charged wilh stealing a spade, a bridle, and a back- chain, the property of William Brayne. The following occurrence should prove a caution to our readers, as by it is discovered a cause of real danger from a source which would hardly be suspected. Yesterday morning the family of Mr. Shepherd, of Gillygate, near York, were alarmed by a smell of fire, and knowing that there had been none in the house since the previous night they proceeded to inquire into the cause On two of the family of Mr. Shepherd going up stairs, they observed in the lodging room window a bason and ewer, and over them were laid two towels; at a little distance was placed a globular glass bottle, filied with water, in which a bouquet of flowers had been placed. The rays of the sun had been concentrated into a focus by the water and the globe of glass, and thus conducted with all their force upon the towels, in which a large hole was actually burnt, and, at. the time of entering fhe room, they were in flames. Had this timely discovery not been made, the house might have fallen a sacrifice to the devouring clement.— York IJercJcl. On Thursday and Friday last, the admirers of the Fine Arts, in this town, were highly gratified by the public exhibition of the Water- Colour and Pencil Drawings of the Pupils of Mr. John Parkes.— From the rudiment of fhe Art to the finished piece, the various drawings did great credit to the talent of the Pupils : several, indeed, were specimens of more than common ability; and the whole formed an assemblage of taste, ornament, and utility, alike pleasing to the spectator, creditable to the Pupils, and worthy the acknowledged talent of the Master. OXFORD, JUNE 13.— On Thursday fast, the degree of Master of Arts was conferred on the Rev. Frederick Leicester, of Queen's College; and the degree of Bachelor of Arts on Beriah Botfield, of Christ Church, Grand Compounder, and George Forester, of Brase- nose. The Examiners appointed by the Vice Chancellor and the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, have signified their intention of recommending George Cotes, Scholar of Trinity College, for the Writersbip offered by the Right, Hon. Charles Wat kin Williams Wynn, as a prize for competition among the junior members of the university. On Saturday, a gentleman of rank undertook to hop 270 feet in 30 successive hops, at the Red House, Battersea; and, to the astonishment of all present, he, at the first, attempt, accomplished 306 feet, with perfect ease, winning by 30 feet. At Buxton Races, on Wednesday last, the Noble- men and Gentlemen's Subscription Plate of 50 sove- reigns was won, at two heats, by Major Ormsby Gore's Hesperus, beating Mr. White's Euxton. Petitions against the New Malt Act have been presented to the House of Commons from the Agri- culturists in the vicinity of Ludlow, and of Ellesmere, in this county. Sir Henry Hardinge, the new Secretary at War, has been re- elected for Durham, without a contest; Colonel Chaytor, who had oti'ered himself to the freemen, in opposition to Sir Henry, having retired. In his address to his constituents, on Monday, Sir Henry said—" There was one point which, be thought, out of respect to the freemen, ought to be made known before the next election, and that was. that if any candidate presented himself, he- ought to state what his political principles were. They did uot know Colonel Chaytor's principles, nondid ( Sir H.), but he had heard they were ultra- Tory; but he hoped that whenever a dissolution of Par- liament todk place, an ft if might be in thicc monthsy that would be fuliy explained." BOTTEREI. L V. SUMMERS.— This cause was tried at the last Assizes for this county, and was an action brought to recover from the defendant the sum of .£ 40, belhjr the residue stated to lie unpaid of the purchase- money for a house and piece of land at Oldburv, near Bridgunrtli, bought by him of the plaintiff Mr. Botterell At the trial, the evidence adduced by the plaintiff went to prove that, the money was irot paid. On the part of the defendant, his counsel put in the. conveyance of the property from the plaintitf to the defendant, which, being under seal, it was contended was an estoppel at law lo the action, and that the plaintiff's only remedy was in a Court of Equity, and, in support of This objection, they cited a case of Uowntree v. Jacob, reported iu 2d Taunton, p., 144 On the part of the plaintitf it « as answered, that fhe present case was not to be distinguished from one of Lainpon v. Corke, reported in 5th Barueuall aud Alderson, p 606, where the Deed- of Conveyance was held by the Court of King's Bench to he no estoppel, inasmuch as the general words of flie Release were qualified by the recital, which stated only an agreement to pay and not an actual payment, and in which case the court said that it would avail itself of any ambiguity in the Helease, in order to let in proof of the justice and honesty of the transaction ; and Mr. Justice Hoiroyd observed, that estoppels were odious ill the law, and, being so, ought not to be allowed, unless very plainly and clearly made out. The learned Judge, however, in the present case, observed, that he thought the words used in the Conveyance from Mr. Botterell amounted to an unqua- lified admission of the receipt of the money, and thpr^ fere » -•> —: « ...: » » . .~ * i.„ .* i.,;„ » ; tv » j/ v„ r"' The Duke of Wellington's speech upon the Ca- tholic question will long be celebrated for its argumentative force, as well as for its admirable clearness and sincerity. The strongest feature, however, was the exposure of the contemptible submission to concordats on the part of sundry princes on the continent, by which the Holy Father indulgently permits their Catholic subjects to obey them. To Sir Francis Burdett this must have been a delightful passage, because it would remind him of another in the immortal work of his philological, and we had supposed political master, the sage of Wimbledon. In the year 1802, there appeared in the morning papers a speech of M. Portalis, upon the subject of a concordat with the Pop* 1, upon which Mr. Home Tooke thus expresses himself, in that sterling English, and with those English and Protestant feelings, which his scholar may despair of attaining :— " I will not undertake to make sense of the argn nients of M, Portalis. The whole of his speech is a piece of wretched mummery, employed lo bring back again to France the more wretched mummery of pope and popery. Writers on such subjects are uot very auxioiu about the meaning of their words. Ambi- guity and equivocation are their strong holds. Ex- planation would undo them."—( Div. of Purietj, vol. • 2.,,.

Twist off' the crowns of pine- apples, if yon wish to have the apples in perfection. They arc generally suffered ( for the sake of ornament) to remain and to live upon the fruit, till they suck out all its goodness. A pine- apple will keep for a long' time when its crown is removed, and will also be greatly improved in Aavour, since the more aqueous parts of the fruit evaporate sooner, and leave it much more saccharine and vinous in its flavour; a procca* - totally obstructed by the vegetation of the crown, on the same principle that an onion or carrot loses its flavour when it begins to sprout iu the spring.

On Saturday last, an inquest was held at Totten- ham, on view of the body of Charles Pratt, Esq. whose death was occasioned by the unwarrantable conduct of a postilion employed to drive the deceased and another gentleman from London to St. Alban's, but who driving- furiously down Holly- well Hill, upset the phaeton, and Mr. Pratt was so much injured that death ensued.— The Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death.— Mr. Pratt only attained his majority on the 23d of last month, and then came into possession of £ 200) 000 in funded and £- 10,000 in landed property.

AMERICAN SHIPPING.— By a list, lately published in the New York papers, it appears that, there belong to that port 595 vessels of different sizes; viz. 96 ships, 124 brigs, 137 schooners, 167 sloops, 24 tow- boats, and 43 steam- boats; besides a number of coasters, employed in the Sound, the North Sea, and elsewhere. Of the 96 ships, 33, whose tonnage amounts to 16,000 tons, were built at New York.

If it be wise at all times to derive instruction from an enemy, it is still more gratifying, and not less important, to obtain information from one who has changed the character of an enemy for that of a friend. An intelligent and distinguished Frenchman has just returned from a very extensive tour in England and Wales, undertaken for the purpose of examining the real state of the country, and reporting it to his government. We have conversed with this gentleman, and ascertained his qualifications for the task with which he has been entrusted. They are amply sufficient, and the opinions which he expresses arc highly satisfactory. He assures us that no idea is entertained on the continent of the real condition of this country, and that her cultivation, her wealth, and her power far exceed those of any Other state in Europe. Even in cheapness, she is not so far behind as it has been imagined. Travelling, for instance, is cheaper, and the roads are here much better than on the continent. What, most surprised our informant were the late changes in our commercial " system ; for he treated the supposition that France would ever meet us on terms of reciprocity as an idle dream, productive, if indulged in, of certain and severe dis- appointment. France, he contends, neither can nor will commit an error so fatal to her own interests. He considers our government as near perfection as possible, and thinks that England may stand in proud independence of the continent if she please ; but that by abandoning our restrictive system altogether, we shall suffer deeply, and find it out when too late. With this fresh and impartial evidence in favour of those principles which once gave life to our domestic policy, let us return to that system which has raised us to the height of power and prosperity, and from which every departure is attended with apprehension and danger.—- New Times.' The Gloving business here, we are sorry to say, so far from exhibiting any symptoms of amendment, gets worse. The manufacturers have been waiting for the official return of the foreign gloves imported ( moved for some time since by Mr. Robinson) previously to submitting to the Legislature the situation to which their trade is reduced by such importation, and praying for relief, but as it appears likely to be some time before the return is furnished, we understand, they, are resolved to petition the House of Commons without more delay. Mr. Huskisson's being no longer a Member of the Government, induces some hopes in the minds of the manufacturers that their representations will not be without effect, and that the Ministry, as now Consti- tuted, will not persist in a measure which, it can be too clearly shewn, has operated almost to the extinction of an important branch of the manufactures of the country, without producing one single benefit in return.— Worcester Herald.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON — It is the pleasure of our fellows of the newspaper press, ofthe liber. il faction," who have , now resumed their own proper liu. e- of politfVaT . c| iaracters, namely, that of inve'e- rute opposition to his M ;_ iesty's Government, to employ themselves in exclaiming against the gene- ral incompetency of the noble Premier for that high station which he occupies. ' This' is exceedingly pleasant. There is not one of these svorthW" but thinks himself perfectly capable of d reefing the affairs of the nation ; not one of them but does in fact conceive his daily or weekly employment to consist iu propounding, piece- meal, the most judi- cious policy for the country on all questions of state affairs, whether foreign or^ domestic. If even then his Grace the Du\ e of WcllLsgto. i be a greyer dunce than the worst of these public* instructors, yet surely with so much excellent instruction iu affairs, 5 emanating from their wisdom, which he may imbibe every morning as he takes his chocolate,- he must be iirnnensclv dull if he cannot direct the affairs of the nation supremely well.' The. main reason, or pretext of reason, uhred ag unst, not the fact, but o ily the likelihood, of his Grace's com- petency, i^ his profession of a soldier. Considered as a presumption against the ability of the noble Premier in civil affairs, this reason is singularly unhappy; for, in fact, with one or two except ions, all tiie greatest soldiers have been most able rulers* in civil affairs. The ^ reat men in whos ® persons have been combined the characters of warriors and statesmen, ha^ e been mostly in the rank's of sove- reigns; and the memory readily presents those illustrious names of warlike princes', of whose greal ability in civil rule history Speaks with as loud acclaim as that with. which she bruits their martial achievements. Atid we s^ ioulci expect it to be sorf That great understanding— that sagacity and fore- sight— that caution to combine and arrange power and resource— that promptitude to apply the force to the occasion— that vigiiauce - which is wakeful over every minute detail and every. slight incident — and that comprehensive power Of thought which guides every part in unison to one great scheme of operations- t- these qualities, which go to form « s great military commander, are Surely those which must equally form a great statesman. The reason, therefore, which is given for a presumption against his Grace the. Duke of Wellington, is, in truth, a most powerful reason to every rational man for a presumption in his favour. But we fee! we use an improper liberty wjlh his Grace's name, even in supporting his high character against this sort of* unmeaning assault j and a serious defence seems t<? diminish, in some degree, the folly of an absurd attack.—- Liverpool Sa iu rday's A dvertiser. THUNOFR STORM— One of those awful visits-, tions of Providence which arise from the force ot electric fluid was on Saturday experienced in this neighbourhood. About half- past two o'clock in the afternoon a solitary dark cloud passed over the valley of Itchen. Abbas, the sun shining from the opposite part of the horizon. The spot whereon the cloud appeared to rest seemed to be enveloped in total darkness, whence sh/> t a sfream of electric fluid, accompanied by a short but tremendous crash' of thunder, and hail- stones of considerable magni- tude. So violent was its force, that it killed two fiu> horses, belonging to Mr. Twitchin, of Itch nt Abbas, and struck the carter to the ground, where he lay in a state of insensibility for some ti ne; his frock was singed by the lightning. About the same time a cottage, occupied by the shepherd of Mr. Twit chin's brother, at Mitcheldever, experienced its violence by being greatly shattered, and the shepherd's wife struck instantly dead. During the same day three horses, belonging to Mr. Bndd, of Hatch Warren Farm, near Basingstoke, were struck dead by the electric fluid, and a man who had the' charge of then? was so dreadfully injured as to render, recovery hopelessHants Chronicle. MACAOAMIZATION LOSISTG GUO'JN O. - The crown of Black friars- bridge was shaved, scalped, and scarified, until the rain- watCr oozed through the arches, preparatory to its receiving a cap of M'Adam fashion, then all the rage. Bridge- street also underwent a similar process for the same purpose. The cap, however, it has been found, does not fit, and it is to be taken off, the bridge is to be paved again with granite, and the street in like manner is to be restored to its original state, preparatory to which large heaps of granite are now collected on the spot. The expe. ise . of these changes is enormous, and should make people cautious of embarking iu uew- fanuled speculations^ but the expense is not ( he only evil consequent upon that here alluded to. In streets of the greatest traffic, paved in the old way, the passenger may walk without soiling his shoes iu a f- z- w hours after the heaviest rain, but the Macadamized road i* never clean. In wet weather it is literally a sea of mud; in dry weather it is little better, for it is found necessary to be continually watering it, to save the inhabitants aud passengers from being suffocated by the dust, aud the goods in their shops from being destroyed. M icadamization was mak- ing its way in the provincial towns almost with the! rapidity of gas- light, but its detected insufficiency* particularly in places of great traffic, and the many inconveniences attending it, will probably afrest its progress, and eventually effect its disuse, at nor great distance of time. Among these it has been demonstrated, that, instead of easing the draft, it increases it in a degree scarcely credible. We have had placed in our hands a quantity of beans taken promiscuously from a ear< » o, recently imported here, from Antwerp. They are clean and sound in their appearance, with' Hie exception of many of them that are perforated wiih a neat round hole, as finely cut as if a sharp drill had been used for the operation. From the' holes it appears an insect, in every instance, has made its exit, the egi* producing it having been deposited in the bean while iu a soft state.' This, however, is not the whole curiosity which we have to remark. By far the greater number of the imperforated beans, when examined with accuracy, will be found to exhibit at whitish speck, so little remarkable as to escape the notice of a cursory observer. On applying the point of a penknife to this speck, and removing part of the rind of the bean, a tittle animal, short and lively, is seen to thrust forth its antennae, and, if left to itself, will very shortly emerge from its hiding- place, and run about with surprising activity. The insect is a species of beetle, with hard wing cases, abdominal joints, legs, & c. and rs about a fourth part the size of a lady- bird, but square- built, and forms an excellent object for the microscope. The probability is that the beans in question, coutainiirg, as they do, such immense numbers of these creatures, would prove very injurious food for horses, if indeed horses would eat them. We understand that this phenomenon is not limited to foreign beans, but that the English are very ex- t nsively affected in a similar manner. Hull Pack t. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.— On Saturday, Samuel Peiminqton; was indicted for wilful and corrupt per- jury. The prisoner had been a horse- dealer, carrying on a business at M irket Kaisin, in Lincolnshire. He sold a horse for £ 70 to the Rev. Mr. Foulis, which he warranted sound, but which proving unsound, Mr. Foulis brought an action against him to recover hack the price of it, and succeeded in obtaining a verdict. To defeat this verdict the defendant procured a friendly arrest, of himself at the suit of a Mr. John Hulse, for an alleged debt of £ 25, and went into the King's Bench prison. In December last, he filed his schedule in the Insolvent Court, to the truth of which he swore, and in which he stated that he had only eleven pounds in cash in his possession, that he hj^ t no plate or furniture, save his excepted articles, ami that he had only received twenty- five pounds for a horse which he had sold in Smith field, subsequently to his arrival in town. He received his discharge under the act; but Mr. Foulis, who did not oppose his discharge, upon learning the circumstances under which he had obtained it, struck a docket against him ; and the defendant, upon his examination before the Commissioners of Bankrupts, contradicted hi; previous statements before the Commissioners of Insolvent Debtors, admitted that he had deposited £ 102 in a box at the house of his cousin in Carey- street, LincolnVlnn- ficl ls and that he sold the horse at Smithiield - - a valuable stallion, called " King of the Country,"— for £ 50, instead of £ 25. He also acknowledged that the alleged debt for which he had been arrested was a fictitious one, and that lie had a. quantity of goods secreted at Market Raisin; and while he was in gaol in Lincoln, to which he had been committed by the Commissioners, he wrote a letter to his cousin, stating that the fear of being transported induced him to disclose his real circumstances to the Commissioners of Bankrupts.— He was found guilty, and sentenced to be transported for seven years.

On the motion of the Marquis of LAN'PDOWNF, the ^ rder of the Day for Inking into consideration the Message from the Cortrinons, requesting the Concurrence of their Lordships in the following Resolution, was rVad : — " That it is expedient to consider the Laws affecting flis Majesty's Roman Catholic subject* in G « vat Britain and Ireland, virtT^ a Vi'C< V to ' such a final and Conciliatory adjustment as may he conducive to the jieaee and' strength of the United Kingdom — to the stability of the Protestant establishment— and to the general satisfaction aud concord of all classes- of His Majesty's subjects. 1' The Noble Marquis then went into the support n( flie resolution by a speech of great length, uryiuy; that ? 1ie grounds tipotr which inutty of the restrictions on Roman Catholics had been passed were not now in existence; that tl'ie practice and general mode of" government of various nations on the ( Jontrrient, aft well an of the United States of America, proved that there was not the slighter5danger in the admission of Homan Catholics to a pirvficipatiou in their Legislatures, and to an unrestrained admission to state offices'; fttid that it was only by the removal from Roman . Catholics of civil disabilities that jTehnvd eoirtd be tranquillized and her prosperity pronVtited. As to securities on the port of the Roman Catholics, he certainly wasfnot prepared to offer any: it Was for those who apprehended danger front the admission of Roman Catholics to power to state what securities' they required; a^ d'stJeh securities as were not inconsistent with their religion be thought the Roman Catholics* oUght to give, though be did not believe that arty were neevsfsary. The Roman Catholics Were a niHneroiis and poweiful body; aiid it depended upon the decision of their'Lordships whether that power should be exercised for evil or controuled for good purposes. The Archbishop of GAfTfirfi. VR'V was most anxious fb effect the end proposed by the resolution before their Lordships— namely, a final and conciliatory ad- justment, ' for the peace and strength of the United j King'lom, the stability of the Established Chrtreh, and , the concord and sntistaetion of all classes of His Ma- jesty's subject* ;' but. be saw no prospect of this end being effected by the adoption of the resolution. The Roman Catholics were now freed from'those shackles w HCII from the time of Queen Elizabeth down to the iviyii of Qneen Anne it bad been found necessary to impose on the exorcise of their religion— they were now at- full liberty to entertain their own views of religious doctrine, and to perforin their religions exercises without molestation. But he thought it was not possible to go farthety with- safety to our established Constitution in Church and State. He felt bound, therefore, to resist the motion,- us dangerous to the Cousfitutiun and to the security of the Established Church'. The Archbishop of T* JAM said, before their Lordships ventured to place political power. in the bands of a large body of the community whose opinions on the, great subject of religion were so opposed to those of their Lordships, Ihcy ought to look well to the consequences of tlie step contemplated, and coolly ascertain whether stu bs measure wotfld be right and proper. It was not his intention'to take up the time, of their Lordships by detailing all the uneivristrun decrees and dangerous dogmas of the Romiin Catholic Chinch, which, how. ever they had been denied and called obsolete, were still extant and in force in the B'nlls of Popes and i t he declarations of Councils, and which were still ready to be exercised when their exercise might be deemed expedient for Popish aggrandisement. The petitioners who now came before Iheir Lordships did not ask humbly for a boon at the hands of the Legislature, but claimed as a right the removal of all restrictions and disabilities imposed upon them by the laws enacted for the protection of a Protestant Slate. There was not oue wort! of concession from them ; but they demanded an unqualified sunender of all the safeguards and se- curities left ns by ' be Constitution ns it now existed, the necessity of which safeguards time had by no means lessened or removed. The Roman Catholics never Iifoposed, in the hope of conciliating and satisfying ' rotestants, the removal of those wicked and unchristian decrees, which were still iu existence; and Would their Lordships consider it safe to entertain Ihe question of concession While those abominable documents remained iu full force and effect ? His Grace then proceeded lo shew, from the decrees of the Popes, and from the writings of Cardinals and Popish Prelates down to the present day, and also from the practice of their schools, thai the Holy Seriptnres were not permitted to be read by the people* « fid his Grace then contrasted the Popish doctrine of Purgatory with the declarations of Scripture, aud dwelt upon the practice of granting in- dulgencies and dispensations, as contrary lo the revela- tion of Holy Writ. He next called the attention of their Lordships tojthe practice of the Popish Church in direct- ing the adoration of the Virgin Mary and the Saints, and in the general Use of intake worship and the adoration of pretended relies. His Grace quoted, the various passages of Scripture with which the doctrines of Tra( nnibslauiialioii and as to works of supererogation, with various other doctrines and practices of ihe Church of Rome, are at variance ; and concluded a most erudite and christian appeal lo the religious feelings of their Lordships, by declaring that the emancipation really necessary for the Roman Catholics, ami which he, for one, would assist in extending to them, was an emanci- pation from the bondage of ignorance— from the gross darkness with which it was the practice and the policy of their Church to surround them. This would be done by giving them a Scriptural education ; and' thus truly would their superstitions be corrected, and their moral condition improved. The Earl of YVINCHILSRA wisbrd some one could shew him any alteiation that had taken place iu the Church of Rome; for until then, be could not he satisfied that it would be safe to remove the barriers erected round the Protestant Church, and under which this country had been raised to the highest prosperity He bad observed thai those who appeared as the ad vocates of the Roman Catholics in Parliament, con- tended lhat I be Roman Catholic religion bad become changed; but be should like lo know when thai change ,0< » k place. The fact was, il still remained unchanged ; aud Dr. Troy, the present Titular Arch, bishop' of Dublin, had declared it was . unchange- able, Dr. Troy has expressly said, thai the decisions of General Councils were of infallible authority, and also binding on the consciences of Catholics." The 4th section of the Council of Latera. n was, according to Dr. Trov, of infallible authority, and it expressly prescribes the dethrone inent of Heretic sovereigns, and declares, parliculni ly, that all engagements entered into w ith relics, even although sanctioned by oaths, were not binding. Let no one then ^ i\ e his consent to meaMtres whith would endanger Ihe existence of the Protestant Establish- ment, and let thctu not d< ee » ve themselves by sup- posing that however much they might give, they conld ever satisfy ihe encroaching spirit of the Church of Home. The connection, as a powerful writer expressed ii, between the Romish Chinch and the Roman Catholic Association,, and between the leaders of both, forbad any such idea One of these leaders, Mr. O'Connell at a meeting Ireld wnly Ihe Ifjtli of last month, said., " The Cat holies hove already trampled on all their enemies except the Church, and they would shortly trample on that loo ;" but he ( the Earl of . Wiuebilsea) trusted their Loidships would never consent to tin passing of measures lhat would destroy that Church which, under the Constitution, has produced so much benefit. He should, therefore, oppose the present motion. The Marquis of SALISBURY said, the Noble Mover of the resolution had expressed his belief that piope securities might bp obtained from the Rotuau Catholics, Why ' hen had be himself not stated what those securities were? In every other Protestant country in Europe, the nomination of the Roman Catholic Bishops was, as a security, vested in the Sovereign; and would it be for » be dignity of Parliament, or for the safety of the the Roman Catholics, and peibaps be told, after all, " We do not choose to accept the boon— it is contrary lo our consciences to submit to the conditions imposed? 1' He, for one, would not be aiding and abetting in any such compromise ; aud be should not, therefore, concur in the present motion. Earl BATHURST said, the question bad now been debated for 25 or 26 years, without any approximation to a settlement ; for the Roman Catholics bad evaded every proposition for security to be given on their part. Why, lie would ask, did there exist, among the Roman Catholics, such an enmity to the Church of England, and such a wish on the part of the Roman Catholics that it should nol continue the established religion in Ireland? There was something in the Roman Catholic Religion which prevented its combination with any oilier faith ; and it was well known, that if the Church of England were not to continue the Established Church of Ireland, the Protestant interest of the empire would be shaken to ils centre. It was interwoven with lire constitution of the country, and the Prolesfanf Church and State must stand or fall together. He was as anxious as any one, that the question should be finally settled, but as be saw no prospect of thai period soon arriving, be entieated the House not to pledge itself, as the H « > use of Commons had done, by agreeing lo this resolution. It was worse than useless to give a pledge till th. rr WHS a prospect of reiteeuiing it. The F. arl of D. HINI. EY supported the resolution nt considerable length, lie said it was impossible lluit n residence in Ireland could be secure, so long as concession lo Ihe Roman Catholics was delayed. Vari ous projects had been contrived for the improvement of Ireland, hut the slate the population was kept in by ihe refusal of emancipation, rendered them nil inrft'ee- lirol for any good. Sooner or liner, with or without securities, lie was sure llie question would be carried. Lord MANNERS spoke with much energy against con. cession, und complained of the licentious speeches delivered at llie Aggregate Meetings of the [ Ionian Catholic Assocuitrou. He could not possibly paint that body hi worse characters than Ihey o'epicled them. elres iu Iheir late efforts lo separate the tenant from Ihe hind- lord throughout ttie country. He contended that Iheir Loidships could not, conscientiously, grant the claims now urged by the most bigoiied, the most intolerant, unci Ihe most delusive Church lhat ever prevailed in the world. The Hurl of GCILFORD opposed' the motion ns con- trary lo the principles of Ihe Constitution. It was to uphold the principle of exclusion from political power Iioniiist Ihe Unman Catholics that the Prince of Orange came to this ennntry. Whrle the laws for disqualifying the Ufftmul Catholics did not restrain opinion, iliey afforded security lo the Eslahli. hment in Church and Slate, lie denied that the repeal of these laws would produce tranquillity in Ireland. On the contrary, lie believed, that by giving povyer to ihe Roman Catholic party, it would lend to disunion, trad perhaps lo the separation of the two countries. It was easy to talk of securities ; but w hat security could there be ngainsl Ihe restless eudeaiouft of the Romnn Catholic Priests lo perform what tht- y asserted to be I heir sncied duly of spreading the inline uce of their Church ? When Roman Catholics were introduced into the Great Council of the Nation, there would be no security, un- less it were to be believed they would find Roman Catholic Bishops, { legislators,- and Privy Councillors, indisposed to guard mankind against erfors w hich they considered as destructive to the human race. When minds were seen everywhere distracted - w hen a false liberality had darkened the prospects of Great Britain both at home and abroad, under the sway of false philosophers, who were fitter subjects for Diogenes' lub than a civilized city — when they saw a false intellect proceeding to destroy every thing- valuable! in society — when the edge of the law was blunted by the frequency of criuie— under such awfiil circum- stances, it wns their duty lo defend the Established . Church ; and he, therefore, hoped the Resolution would not be adopted. The Bishops of DURHAM and LINCOLN also opposed tlie motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNB ; and Lord GODFRICH, Earl ST. VFNCENT, and the Duke of GLOU- CESTER supported it. The Duke of CihtRERLAND rose fo oppose th^ motion before tligir Lordships, from a conviction that concession would probably produce evil, and could effect no good. Their Loidships had heard from Noble Lords that night divers opinions respecting tin; results that would follow the repeal of the existing laws. Now if it were doubt- ful that concession would tinnqtiiilise Ireland, be was quite certain that it would Create disturbance in this country, lie had been accused of being a bigot— but even though the- imputation should he perpetuated by his vote on that occasion, be would not shrink from heartily and conscientiously protesting against the revolution before their Lordships. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY and ihe Earl of CARNARVON supported, the resolution ; und the Bishop of LI. ANDAF? and the EaVl of DARTMOUTH opposed it. The question for an adjournment of the debate was1 then put and carried. HOUSE OF LORDS^ TtmSDAY. The debate on the Marquis of Lansdowne's resdtl- tion was resumed. Lord Coi. cflESTER saftl, it'was certainly a most de- sirable thing to establish peace throughout all parts of : the Empire j but iu attempting to do that, we ought to ! take care not to put arms into the hand's of those who might use their power against the Protestant establish- ment; for the writings of Dr Milner, and the evidence of Dr. Doyle, bad proved that the Roman Catholic cliurpit was unchanged. It bad been contended that this measure was indispensably necessary to insure the tranquillity of Ireland; but he thought the best means of preserving the peace and promoiing the security of that eofintn, would be found in the due execution of the laws, aud in the promotion of agriculture^ manufac- tures, and commerce. That was, however, prevented by the meetings and the proceedings of an illegal Association, which met in Dublin, where it usurped and exercised all the functions of the Legislature. The Marquis of BUTE said he would not deny the existence of the power of the Roman Catholic priests^ nor that it had h< en mischievously exercised ; but lite fault lay in the. laws which il was now the object of the Resolution before the House to relax. The only way to lessen the influence of the Priests was to grant that emancipation which the Roman Catholics had so long prayed for, The Earl of HADDINGTON and the Duke of SUSSEX supported the resolution.— The Earl of FALMOUTH and the Bishop of BATH AND WELLS opposed } » . The LORD CHANCELLOR, iu a speech of great length and consummate ability, opposed the motion before their Lordships, although be ' freely admitted the case to fie one of difficulty. After taking a review of the various attempts that had been made to arrange this question, aud all of which had failed, because the Roman Catholics would nol consent to give the securities required, he adverted to the piesent slate of the question, aud to what the Roman Catholic leaders now requited. " They want, my Lords, lo be admitted to this and the other House of Pairiainent— they want to haie equal participation with Protestants iu all the offices in ihe State, with one or two exceptions ; and if they obtained that admission on their own terms, can it be supposed they would endeavour merely lo maintain system of Protestant find Catholic equality ? No. Such a result could not be expected, if Roman Catholics were admitted into that equal participation which they lainied. No longer, then, would ihere be a Protestatil House of Commons— no longer a Protestant House of Peers — no longero Protestant Government; but, instead of ihem, ihere would be a mixed Government of Catho- lics arrd Protestants, and a total alteration iu our legisla. live system, accompanied w ith such restrictions as t'liey might think proper to offer to ns, for they will accept none fiom ns." The Roman Catholic leaders now boast, that already ihe representation of all Ireland is in the hands of the Priests, as the directors of the Roman Cat IN ( tic body ; and therefore before Roman Catholics were admitted to fill the offices of state, it was but a duty to ourselves to demand proper security from them as to their use of the power which they required. Il has, however, now been declared by the Romat: Catholics, af their various meeting*, that they will accept only absolute, unconditional, unfettered Eman- cipation— a concession directly opposed to that measure of conciliation which Mr. Pitt, Mr. Fox, Mr. Graltan, Mr. ' Canning, and every other great statesman bad hitherto contemplated. Not one of the eminent slates- men thai bad ever professed themselves friendly to Catholic emancipation, had ever entertained an idea of granting it without adequate security. But then, Rus- sia, Prussia, and olher plates were held out to us examples. And what was really ihe state of the case? There was not the slightest similarity iu the ciicuni- slances of those kingdoms and Great Britain; for in Russia ihe Monarch has only to utter a word, and every, Roman Calholie priest would be swept from ihe face of Ihe earth; and iu Prussia, they were so re- stricted lhat Ihey had nol the power to do harm. If we were lo concede all that the Catholics now ask, it would only be preliminary ; for they have already slated publicly, that w ith even these concessions lltey would not rest satisfied ; nor would they be satisfied until the Protestant Establishment should succumb to the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. " Those, therefore, who wish to see an end put to the Protestant Cfiu/ eh in Ireland, and wish lo see the Roman Catholic Church established in ils stead, may consistently vote for the present motion, as one step towards the acc'oni plixhment of lhat object ; but because I know the ProtesUtiit' Church ' of Ireland has produced great and good men — and because 1 regard it us a bulwark lo the Church of England, and would not IOSP its support, therefore 1 will not giant the measure of Emancipa- tion. ' Lord PLUNKETT said he was most anxious lo preserve the Protestant Church inviolate ; and if he thought ihe granting of emancipation would injure, ihe Established Church, be would oppose all fuv.: ner concession. The i Noble Lord declared that Ihe speeches of the leaders of the Cdlliolic Association did not express the sentirhents of the great body of Ronian Catholics : they were willing to give securities, and' had no right to refuse them. Their Lordships, by granting emancipation would remove a great grievance, and would put it out of the power of agitators to create disturbance. Lord ELDON objected to enter into the consideration of any proposition so general in its'terms as the present Resolution ; for hitherto all measures that bad been introduced were accompanied with some specific pro- position— with some proposition of security, R'IM SO should every measure that was lo' { Ve brought forward, in order that their Lordships might judge what would lie the effect of their proposed legislation. His Lord- ship then went into a detail of the Laws affecting the Protestant Succession to the Throne, and said, it was impossible lhat, in the present state of Ireland, the proposition now before their Lordships could be adopt- ed ; for the British Constitution was essentially Pro- testant, and the proposition now before them could not be adopted without altering that character of the Con- stitution. In duty, therefore, to him who sat on the Throne of these realms, trusting that the same notions respecting the Coronation Oath influenced him which had been held by his lamented Father, lie must say, their Lordships could not, in duly to themselves, consent to the measure now proposed to them, unless they were prepared to go farther, and to repeal all the Ads in- discriminately that now existed against the Roman Catholics. The Marquis WELLEKLEY said he should vote with pleasure for an examination of those laws which affect Roman Catholics, with a view to the adoption of some arrangement that would meet the apprehensions of the Protestants as well as the desires of the Ronian . Cut holies; but be never would give his consent to any arrangement that was not founded upon such securities as were calculated to give satisfaction to His Majesty and to all his Protestant subjects. The Duke of WELLINGTON.— My Lords, 1 rise under extreme difficulty to address your Lordships on this most important subject. I feel particular concern in being under the necessity of following my Noble Relative, and of stating that T differ in opinion from him whom I so dearly love — him for whose opinions 1 entertain so much respect. I cannot, however, prevail Upon myself to declare any thing but my own couvic tion, hoping that the views of my Noble Relative and my own do not differ in reality. I wish, as much as my Noble Relative does, that ibis question should be brought to an amicable conclusion. But I do not see iu the measure proposed to your Lordships the. ineans of bringing it to such a conclusion I, iu common with the Noble and Learned Lord who recently ad- dressed your Lordships, must see clearly and distinctly security to the State before I can vote for this question. My Noble Relative says that our security will be found in the removal of the securities which now exist. I say lhat tlie securities we now enjoy, and which for a length of time we have enjoyed, are iudi& pensibte to the security of the Church and State. I should be glad to see the disabilities of the Roman Catholics removed; but before 1 can consent to their removal, I must see something in their stead which will effectu- ally protect our institutions. I feel exceedingly happy at the good temper and moderation in which this debate has been conducted, aud your Lordships may rely upon il, 1 shall say nothing calculated to disturb that desirable feeling; but it is impossible for me to avoid referring to some observations of Noble Lords who have preceded me in this discussion. The Nt> b, le Marquis who introduced the Resolution now before your LonUhips, took occasion to refer to some ex- pressions of mine uttered in a former debate respecting Ihe state of Ireland at, of course, a previous period, and with particular reft re nee to the claims set up for the restoration of confiscated property. When 1 al- luded to those transactions I expressed my apprehen- sions that concession might lead to similar events. I believe, however, thai I stated then, as I do now, that I was, as I am now, extremely anxious that something might be found— some mode discovered — by which this unfortunate state of things might be remedied; but I never said otherwise than that I sincerely wish thai it might be brought to an amicable conclusion. My Lords, my own opinion is,- that we have never hjected to the Roman Catholics on the ground that they believe in transubstanliatiou, or in purgatory, or in any other of those peculiar doctrines by which they are distinguished — doctrines which a Most Rev, Pre- late conceived it his duly to examine. But, my Lords, we objected to their opinions, because upon those opinions was founded a system of political Conduct " am now to consider this question, in which the Noble Marquis has put it, as one of expediency, and I agree with a Noble and Learned Lord in thinking, that we are bound to respect civil power and political right; but I am sure the Noble anil Learned Lord w ill agree with me when I say, that if it be expedient that this question should be granted, that civil power and that political right ought not to he exercised1. The ques- tion then resolves itself into one of expediency *, a nil. I ground iby opposition to it, not on the peculiar < i « ie- trinal points of the Homan Catholic faith, but because of the nature of Roman Catholic Church Government. I am sure I do not wish to say any thing that will be deemed invidioiYs, or that w ill tend to hurt the feelings of any man, but when we recollect the transactions that have taken place in Ireland during the la* t twenty. five years, and see how the Roman CalhoHc Church has been acting there, in a spi i il of Combina- tion, in a spirit bv which the laity has been governed — it is this, my Lords, I confidently affirm, that is the cause of tire present disturbed state of things in Ireland. The Noble Marquis ( LanVdowne) talked of the power of the people, and of a powerless aristocracy in the country lo which be referred — of a people,, guided and governed by demagogues, and )> y flic priesthood'; but, my Lords, that is Ihe consequence, not of the state of the law, but of that combination to which I have alluded. Then, my Lords, I say,- lhat if you granl this Catholic Emancipation—' if you gi> e all that the Roman Catholics require— what security have yon that this combination will not still exist? Mv f. ords, we are told that there are securities, and I admit, from fhe first moment that this queslion was, launched in this country, from the passing of the Union down to ihe present day, all those who ha » e ever moved this question, have stated thai securities there must he. The Right Hon. Gentleman to whom the Noble Lord bad alluded, staled in that vei v letter to which the Noble Lord referred, and stated most expli- citly in Parliament, that there must be securities. But thai Right Hon. Gentleman never, in fhe Cabinet at least, as far as 1 have been able to learn, set forth what those securities were. I have repeatedly con- versed with those that were intimately acquainted with the Right Hon. Gentleman, aud with some who were connected with hiui in office at the period to which I advert, lint I have never beard, nor could I ever learn, in what Ihose securities consisted. A Noble and Learned Lord (. Plunkett) has given a detailed history of such securities as have been proposed lor considera- tion, but be has not told us, although I am sure he will not deny it, that the Roman Catholics themselves have objected fo all such proposed securities. But the Noble and Learned Lord tells ns that we ought not ' to attend to what we bear in Ireland on this subject ; hu though be may know these things, I do not see bow • we, in this country, and in this House, are to oet them, or, indeed, how the people of England are to become acquainted with ihem. These tilings may be known to . the Noble aud Learned Loid, hut 1 do not sec what we can do but believe what we see for ourselves. And be cannot be surprised that we should requi prov isiops for the security of ihe Church and State, sn. h as are acknowledged to be necessary, but which are refused by the Roman Catholics, w hose conduct I hey are intended to regulate. . Under these circumstances, hit Lords, it is not extraordinary that we should have strong feelings on the subject. We feel . deeply in terested f-> r the safety of Church and State', and w feel therefore that we ought to be sufficiently assured that no danger exists before we incur any risk. Now my Lords, I cannot but observe On what fill from ihe Noble Lord opposite at the commencement of. the debate of last night, with reference to the examples lhat be then set up, when contending that the Roman Catholic religion in its natural state was not a religion unfavourable to the Government of any country I beg your Lordships to observe, that in all the conn, tries of Europe, the Sovereigns have been under the necessity of calling in the aid of the Pope to assist them in governing their subjects. The Roman Catholic sub- jects of Europe have thus been gained over by an in- strument issued in some way or oilier by the Pope, and such instrument as afforded sufficient knowledge of ihe intercourse that existed between the Pope ami the sub jects of any particular State. The Protestant Kings of Europe, before they could obtain possession of the com- plete a Meg ' iance of their Catholic subjects, have been compelled to procure concordats or bulls from the Pope. The Sovereigns of Europe, so long as 300 years ago, obtained an instrument, or w bate ver if might be called, from the Pope, by which they obtained that power which it was necessary for the Civil Government to have over the Clergy of the country ; and besides this, these Treaties all contained the means of obtaining that influence over the Priests and the people together, without which it would have been impossible " for tfie civil power to exist. The Protestant Sovereigns who, subsequent to the French Revolution, obtained the possession of territories which heretofore bad been in the possession of Catholics, found themselves obliged fo obtain a Bull from the Pope giving them Ihe mean* of restraining the Clergy of ihe Catholic Church ; and I must, therefore, say that we who look with something of jealousy at the. Catholic subjects of. the King- in Ire- land, have a little more to do than merely to go on with surmises ; when the fact really is, that fill a Concordat should be obtained, it would be found impossible to govern the Catholic subjects of lhat country, were any further concessions to be granted to them. The E to call on the Pope to assist him to govern his own i subjects. Let us not be told, then, that we are un- necessarily apprehensive of the safety of our State, when the same apprehensions exist in every country, and means of protection have been resorted to against them I, as well as many others, have recently met an ingenious publication— that of Mr, Gaily Knight— ' which has been frerfuefitly alluded to'in'the debates that have taken place on this question within the last few weeks. 1 confess it has perfectly astonished me that any gentleman should gravely propose that we should follow the example of other countries^ consider- ing all the Circumstances that have taken place in those countries, or brave long existed there. There are several points with reference to our country which it is most material to consider. One of these is, that our Church forms a main portion of our Constitution. Another is, that our Sovereign is the bead of that Church, and that we are bound to him'by an oath of supremacy,; an oath not only to acknowledge his supremacy, but ? o deny and abjure the existence of any other Power to have jurisdiction within these realms My Lords, 1 wish the House woiild exa'mine the details of some of ihose concordats, and see how far they agree with the circumstances under which this country is placed'. I am induced to allude to this portion of the subject, more particularly, because of the observations of my Noble Relative. I have now within my view the concordat, or I should say, fhe arrangement entered into by his Majesty the King of Hanover with the Pope, in respect to his Hanoverian subjects, which arrangement amounts to nothing more nor less than a Bull from his Holiness. By this arrangement the kingdom of Hanover is divided into two dioceses, that on the right, and lhat ou the left of the Weser, by which the Pope conveys the Bishops and all their jurisdictions and authority, and every jurisdic- tion and authority by possibility belonging to a Bishop, freely to Ihe King of Hanover for ever. And hi* Majesty on his part engages to pay to those Bishops certain salaries to provide land for their subsistence, and lo defray all the expense of their several establish- ments, with the exception only of the parochial clergy. Now there can be no doubt that this arrangement is nothing more nor less than the establishment of Ihe Roman Catholic religion iu the kingdom of Hanover. The. same thing has been done by the King- of the Netherlands in the Low Countries— a Catholic Bishop having been admitted into the Town of Amsterdam. What 1 want the House to advert to, now that it is iu possession of these facts, is this, that it is impossible for England to make any such arrangement as lbs with the Pope. That no other arrangement has been made 1 will not take upon myself to say s I will not say that an arrangement cannot take place, under which the King shall have the power to nominate the Bishop*, aud likewise possess the aufhoritv of counteracting and interrupting the intercourse of the Bishops with the See of Rome. But 1 will say, that to enable the See of Rome to appoint the Bishops to Ihe Dioceses in Ireland will be impossible for Parliament to allow, under the present Constitution of the country. My Lords, I call your Lordships' attention to that particu- lar part of the subject, because'I see that such a result is at the present moment impossible. What ate we to do then ? Whatever we do must be done by legisla- tion, although legislation has not been hitherto tried ; hut whatever we do musl be done firmly aud fearlessly. We must carry our legislation to whatever extent we may consider proper. My Lords, as I have before said, 1 was anxious lo avoid addressing your Lord- ships at all on this subject. 1 have now delivered my opinion upon it, and I am anxious again to impress upon your Lordships how desirable it is that discus- sions upon this question, introduced in this way, which can lead to no practical result, and can only disturb the public mind, without leading to any conclusion, should be discontinued. I wiU'now refer your Lord- ships fo the fact, that in Ireland, previous to the enactment of that law which forms the basis of ibis ' question, from the year 1781 lo the year 1791, a period often years, during which there Were many and great troubles in Ireland, the Roman Catholic Question was never heard of; So little was it beard of, that when a Noble Friend who now sifs near me on the Woolsack brought a Bill into the House of Commons with refer- ence to the Roman Catholic* of England, il is positively a fact, that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland was n< t only not consulted on the subject, but does not seem to have heard of it until it bad been actually introduced — so little was the subject then discussed or ' thought upon in Ireland. If, then,- the public mind is suffered to rest for a short time— if the agitators ot Ireland will leave llie public niMid for a time ( juiet with respect lo tliis question — men's minds would then bi- come more sntisfl. d upon it, and then it would be possible to do something. Lord ItpDF. sn. w.

PORTUGAL.— Some questions put by Mr. Daven- pol- t, in the House of Commons, on Monday night; gave Mr. Peel an opportunity of affording an explanation, which was received with universal approbation. Mr. Davenport, after some observa- tions with respect to the conduct of Don Miguel in violating his oath, which ho characterised in the most appropriate terms, complained of fhe with- drawing of our troops, aud the surrender of the forts, at a time when the Constitutionalists were exposed to the most rigorous prosecution. He asked— First, On what condition, and in trust for whom, were the forts on the Tagus surrendered? Secondly, What steps had been taken previously to the surrender to obtain payment of the money dile to ns? Thirdly, What were our present relations with the Portuguese Government? Mr. Peel's answei- was most satisfactory. He said, before the arrival of Don Miguel the British Government had determined to withdraw the troops, and surrender the fortresses; because all danger of invasion was at an end, atid because the troops had not been sent lo support any form of Government, or to interfere m the internal concerns of Portugal. The • debt due from Portugal was undir £ 200,000, but it could never have been deemed wise or prudent to have kept possession of tlie forts until the debt was liquidated. In reply to the third question, Mr. Peel stated, that the political functions of the British Ambassador were suspended, a fact which sufficiently proved our dissatisfaction at !* he present state of affairs iu Portugal, and at the conduct of Don Miguel. He added, that the sentiments of the Court of Vienna Were in strict accordance with Our ovin. UtisccUancouo Entclligcncc. A King's Messenger arrived at the Foreign Office on Wednesday, with dispatches from Lord Cowley, our Ambassador at Vienna, dated the - 2d instant, and they bring official intelligence from Constantinople ( o the 19th ultimo, the most important part of which is the manner in which the news of the Russians having actually crossed the Prutli, and taken possession of fhe provinces, was received in that city. Instead of that event having induced the Sultan to succumb, it has had a directly contrary effect. The Divan imme- diately assembled ; and after a long sitting they re- solved upon issuing a proclamation, in which the Porte indignantly refuses to send any Plenipotentiary or even to engage in any negotiation whatever, but to oppose " force to force," and leave their " righte- ous" cause to the " God of the Faithful." The enthusiasm of the Sultan and the army arc stated to be greatly increased, and they profess the most deter- mined resolution to oppose the progress of the Russians in every way and by every means which God may put in their power.— The preparations for defence were pursuing with extraordinary activity, and were on a scale of much greater magnitude than appears to have been expected.— At the date of these dispatches no further intelligence of interest had been received at Vienna of the movements of the Russian army. The New Tariff just adopted by the American Congress furnishes a striking contrast with the commercial policy adopted in this country. With the view of encouraging their domestic manufac- tures, the United States Legislature has adopted a scale of ad valorem duties that will, we believe, operate as a prohibition, or nearly so, on the im- portation of our Welsh flannels, iron, cutlery, & c Ou bolt and bar iron, the duty is to be 37 dollars per ton. On cutlery, 10 per pe . t. in addition to the old duty. On some manufactures, the duties are fixed prospectively ; but iu every ease on an in creasing scale. On wool manufactured, the ad valorem duty is to begiu at 40 per cent, and to be raised annually 5 per cent, until it reaches . r> 0 per cent. On some articles of woollen manufactures, it begins at 40 per cent, and ends at 45 per cent.; en others it will vary from 45 per cent, to 50 per cent and on the coarser articles it is fixed at 35 per cent Ou hemp it will be ill June next 60 dollars, or about £ 1- 2. 10s. per ton; the same on flax; and on all manufactures of silk - 20 per cent, except upon such as come from beyond the Cape of Good Hope, on whicli it w ill be 35 per cent. The duties moreover are called ad valorem, but the appraisers have in structions in fixing the value, to add to its true amount all charges and 10 per cent, and calculate the duty upon the result. If the articles imported come from beyond the Cape of Good Hope, the addition is 20 per cent. This in some cases makes the doty as high as sixty per cent. The Duke of Wellington was shut out upon the division of the House of Lords on the Marquis of Lansdowne's motion. His Grace had only just retired; but when the division is called for and enforced the doors are locked, and no one is allowed to enter the House till after the division has taken place. An account has been taken, by order of the Lords of the Treasury, of the number of vehicles passing over London bridge ( in its present state) in the course of 24 hours— the average of which turns out to be tiftweeji fix and seven thousand.

So well manufactured were the articles, that'two or three tradesmen in Manchester made purchases of her to the amount of from £ 4 to £ 7 each. In Liverpool she was still more su « cessful, having disposed of about twenty chains, and the fraud would probably have remained undetected for some time longer, had not a conversation on the subject been casually started at a convivial meeting at which several jewellers were present. " A highly- respectable lady called upon me to- day," said one of the tradesmen, " and sold me a handsome gold chain." Two other jewellers who had unfortunately happened to make similar pur- chases, after attentively listening to the story, said that a lady had also been at their shops, and that they had bought gold chains of her. This coinci- dence of circumstances produced suspicion, and a more minute examination of the chains was made on the following morning. They were subsequently assayed, with a number of others which the sharper had disposed of in the town, and to the mortification of the unwary jewellers they were found fo be silver- gilt, worth about ten shillings instead of three guineas an ounce.— We give this brief notice of the lady's adventures, in order that respectable tradesmen in other towns may be put upon their guard, and pre- pared to give her the reception which she so justly merits. A MAN SMOTHERED.— The population which in- habit St Philip's Plain, Bristol, were on the 9tli inst. in great excitement from a report that a man had been smothered; that such an event had occurred was too true, as afterwards appeared on the Inquest taken by the Coroner; how far it was wilful or mali- cious must he left to the decision of a jury, as the parties have been committed on a charge of mav- . a fjhter.— The following is the substance of what occurred before the Coroner :— The deceased, whose name was William Ball, was in very narrow aud necessitous circumstances, and with his wife rented an underground apartment in the house of John Shtpp, at No. 10, Narrow Plain, St. Philip's. For several months he had been very ill, arising from poverty aud starvation, and his landlord and landlady ( John and Margaret Shipp) were very desirous of getting rid of him and his wife as tenants; tor this end they had repeatedly warned them off, but the unfortunate creatures knew not where to go.— Mrs. Shipp, how- ever, thought of an expedient which was effectual though fatal;— she sent for a chimney- sweeper, of the name of Richard Johnson," and requested him to fill up the top of the chimney with wadding; in order, as jihe said, to render the room occupied by the deceased uncomfortable and untenable; but she omitted to tell the occupiers of the room what she had done ; the consequence was, that the wife of the deceased having made a fire in the grate, went out, leaving her husband ( who was ill) in bed : on her return, which was in five minutes, she found the room full of smoke, and the poor man in the agonies of death; he died in less than ten minutes from the time the chimney was stopped.— These were fhe facts which were detailed by the aforesaid sweep, by the widow of the deceased, and by Margaret Shipp her- self. There did not appear to be any malice in the transaction, or any anticipation of its fatal result; and from flic extreme ill health of the poor man, it was more than probable that nature would soon have given way without such means: indeed his wife stated in her evidence that she did not think he would have lived many days. Still the parties were much to blame in having recourse to such a cruel method of excluding a tenant, and the Jury decided that William Ball died of an Asthma, but that his disorder was increased and his death accelerated by the smoke ; whereupon the Coroner recorded a ver- dict of manslaughter against J. and M. Shipp, who w ill have to lie in prison until the next Gaol delivery probably until October." On the 27th ult. two men of the names of John Ince and William Cartwright, having been drinking at the Roe Buck public- house, in Melbourne, Derby- shire, kept by Mr. Joseph Brooks, their conduct towards the latter part of the afternoon became dis- orderly, and tlicy successively offered to fight with a young mftn of the name of Wootton, but the landlord would not suffer them, and threatened to put them out of doors if they persevered. Cartwright then attacked Brooks, and seizing him by the cravat throttled him till he lost a) l power of exertion. Mrs. Brooks, on witnessing the dangerous situation of her husband, flew to his relief, and cut his cravat, when Ince ( who is her brother) knocked her down. Mr. Taylor, the constable, was then sent for to put a stop to the outrageous conduct of the two men. He in vain remonstrated with them on the impropriety of their proceedings, and was ultimately obliged to convey them to the Round House, to prevent their committing further mischief. On the door being opened, the two men, together with Baldwin, another constable, were forced into it, and Cartwright seizing hold of Mr. Taylor, dragged him into the Round House. In the confusion the door was closed, and some time elapsed before it could be re- opened. Meanwhile the two prisoners continued to fight and abuse the constables, and as soon as they could be extricated, Mr. Taylor, who complained of a pain in his head, was assisted to walk home, and went id bed ; he soon however became insensible, and died of the injuries he had received about ten o'clock the next morning. Mr. Taylor was highly respected liv his neighbours, and has left a large family to lament rhcit loss. A coroner's inquest was held on the body before Charnel Bateman, gentleman, on Thursday last, when the jury returned a vedict of wil ful murder against Ince and Cartwright, who are committed to Derby county gaol for trial at the next assizes. EXPRESS BETWEEN LONDON AND MANCHES- TER.- We understand that there is a design ou foot for establishing an express between London and Manchester, in sixteen hours— to leave Loudon nt half- past seven in the evening, and arrive at Man- chester at half- past eleven the next morning ; to leave Manchester at halt- past four in the evening, and arrive in London at half- past eight the following morning. This express is to be conveyed, as we understand, not iu a two- horse vehicle, like that of Mr. Burgess, who made a similar attempt a few years ago, but in a carriage drawn by four horses; and carrying four inside passengers, with a guard and coachman outside. In order to prevent dis, tressing the horses, none of the stages are to exceed five miles in length. CHIMNEY RACE!— At the Pack Horse Inn, Corsham, Wilts, a few evenings since, as two of their sooty Highnesses were taking a few glasses of strong beer, they laid a trifling wager as to which should ascend and descend the tap- room chimney ( about 35 feet high), in the shorter space of time. The one which first performed the exploit ( in the landlord's absence), threw his brush out at the top ( which fell into the street), and descended again into the tap- room, in three quarters of a minute! The other was 1J minute iu doing it, and consequently lost the wager. To all our inquiries as to the state of the hop' plantations in this part of the county, the reply is that though there may here and there be a little fly^' yet that there is none worth mentioning, and the bine grows vigorously.

D. derives additional importance from the Rev. Dean's station as domestic chaplain to his' Majesty : " There is another subject of peculiar anxiety and danger to the Church, which I feel it my duty af this time briefly to notice, not so much for the purpose of controversial remark, for which, after air that has been done, more particularly of late, soablj? and unanswerably written, there can be but little occasion, as with a view to my own individual though humble testimony. I allude to what is generally, though incorrectly, termed Roman Catholic Emanci- pation. I have always thought that this long agitated* and most important question might be advantageously reduced within narrower limits than those which have been frequently assigned to it. It can scarcely,. I think, be disputed, that every society, whether civit or ecclesiastical, possesses an inherent and inalienable right to prescribe the terms upon which its privileges and emoluments shall be enjoyed. In the case of a political constitution, it is surely competent to the supreme authority to demand from every subject such securities as it may deem necessary to the safety and well- being of the state. If any portion of the community be found to hold opinions hostile to and subversive, even indirectly, of the fundamental principles upon which that constitution is established, can it be a point of reasonable discussion, whether the legislature may not justly exclude them from offices of trust and influence, the administration of which in such hands it may consider incompatible with the public welfare? Such an exclusion may be felt to be painful and mortifying to individualsbut it cannot upon any principles of sound reasoning be pronounced unjust; rather, I would say, it is in the highest degree unreasonable and inconsistent with the ordinary proceedings of mankind in similar cases, to expect that it should be otherwise. The distinction between fhe enjoyment of the most perfect toleration of religious opinions and worship, such as that which universally obtains in this country, and the admission which is farther demanded to political power, may be ridiculed or denied; but it will ever remain to a thoroughly sound and impartial judgment perfectly intelligible and substantial. " This appears to be precisely the case of the Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom. It is matter of historical record and fact, that the Church of Rome has held, and by its boasted principle of infallibility and unchangeableness, continues to hold, doctrines subversive of our Protestant constitution in church and state, and consequently inconsistent with its safety. To the dictates of that church every Roman Catholic professes, under the sanction of the most solemn obligations, implicit and unqualified submission. The disclaimer of doctrines obnoxious to a Protestant government on the part of individuals of a body which has thus renounced all right of private judgment, cannot therefore warrant that government in admitting to places of political trust and power those who still avow allegiance to so hostile and dangerous an authority. However honourable to such individual Roman Catholics, and gratifying to our Protestant feelings, such a renunciation may be, so long as they acknowledge the supreme authority, wherever it may reside, of the church which still maintains or refuses authoritatively to disavow, the doctrines in question, a Protestant legislature is, upon every principle of self- preservation and defence, justified in excluding Ronian Catholics from political power. We may lament the disqualifications under which so large a body of our fellow subjects labour ; and none, I am persuaded, do more sincerely regret the necessity for their continuance than the Clergy of the Church of JEngland; but we dare not, either as men or as Christians, surrender to the demands of a false and undistinguisbing liberality, or to the un- certain calculations of political expediency, and, least of all, to the suggestions of intimidation and clamour, interests of such incalculable importance and value. That the admission of Roman Catholics to eligibility to such power would be attended with danger to our ecclesiastical establishment, more particularly in Ireland, can scarcely, I think, be doubted ; nor could even the constitutional principle which limits the succession to the Throne itself to a Protestant monarch, be ultimately maintained, if the farther concessions now demanded be yielded to the adherents of the Church of Rom " In the mean time, if I may be permitted to allude to any thing which might have emanated from s6 high a quarter, I would congratulate you on the assurance of our Most Gracious Sovereign's stedfast determination to protect and preserve inviolate our Protestant establishment in Church and State."
