PECTORAL ESSENCE OF COLTSFOOT. fg^ HE herb Coltsfoot, has long been dis- IL tinguished for its excellent properties in the eur. e of Coughs and other Pulmonary Complaints; and thii essence has, in the course of a long practice, been found the most safe nnd effectual... remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens the Breast, aud immediately gives liberty of breathing, without any dagger of taking cold, and thus it affords great re- lief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling which provokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands, relaxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels— Thus it will prevent Consump- tionsj 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, Suro- eon, in Biistol 5 and sold in bottles at 3s. fid. each, )> v F.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1820. His Majesty's Speech will be found in feiir 4th page; and an outline of the debate upon it, so far as it concerns that great question, w^ ieh, like Aaron's rod, swallows up all the rest, will be found in our subsequent columns. We have neither space nor disposition for a lengthened, dissertation of our own upon the poHehfius dTscVfeures of the last week. — If the heart of every English Protestant does nftt supply the proper commentary, we should write, as iinhieasnrably better men— Lords lildpn, Chandos, » nd ' TXfnham, Sir Robert Inglis, Btr. MOore, and others of ( he champions of our constitution,— hSrve spoken, in vain.— It is not intended to introduce any measure of emancipation until after the Association Suppressing Law shall have been tried, and until after it shall have been found effectual. The measure intended to be introduced is to be of the most ex- tensive opera tiot), admitting Roman Catholics to every thing but the Lofcl Lieutenancy of Ireland and the Chancellorship.—' The Securities by which this whole; sale admission is to be qualified are said to be the raisifig of the elective franchise qualification to twenty pounds, and retrying to the Crown not a veto but a DIRECT NOMINATIOTF of thfe Roman Catholic bishops To those who have been in the hSbit of paying attention to the course of public events, it will be matter of utter astonishment what new light can so marvellously have affected some Members of the Senate,- and others hitherto considered the pillars of Protestantism. Time, will, uo doubt, unravel this. An excellent paper, the Morning Journal, had, on Tuesday last, ' obtained information of the ap- proaching denouement, a I'M, in consequence, published the following remarks: — " We have to announce rumours this day which will excite apprehension, surprise, indignation, and disgust from one end of the country to the other. And they are not rumours having their origin ill the inventions of the day — not the silly gossip of the idler— not the drcaius of the enthusiast — but rumours w hich we hare every reason to fear mitt prove well founded. " The Duke of Wellington, it is said, has resolved to introduce a bill in favour of Catholic Emancipa with it alsral will be crushed the palladium of our civil liberties; and, in ffie Conflict of irritated and incensed parties, our happy Constitution must either merge info a republic, or into an exfclusive and despotical monarchy. " As to the private, too long private, scene- sSiifters of this political drama, we now abandon all reserve. There are facts which we know, and which, WW* tfe to Communicate, would shake the isle from its pro- priety. Delicacy alone lias placed a restraint upon our inclinations; and a desire that domestic shjoy- ment should not oe interrupted by public afumadver-, sions, has silenced fho* e expressions of deep fefimg and resentment which burn in our bosoms. But'tnfe' rubicon is passed— the gauntlet is thrown down— tile Protestant is asked to yield f, 6 the Papist— fiierVes; outweigh principles— attachments are stronger than justice— merit sinks before pampered influence— an& a smile," a guilty smile, administers that soft poison that pute an enemy into our moutlis to steal awaj our braids; 1* @£ gT' The Shrewsbury Agent fcf- . the Kfttmn Catholic Asso- fciation has written two fetters, to, himself, the one signed f An OBSERVER," the other " M," fcdtn abusing Members of the Brunswick Club; but he" has not brought forward the pt< f » r which he was called upon f he* therefore} stands before the Tubfie the 6onvicteft author and publisher of barefaced fa" mods.

It is further said that Mr. Peel has intimated his intention to t'esign, and that oth'er im- portant changes will take place in the Cabinet. It is also affirmed that an eminent divine, whose political and polemical writings have obtained for him much distinction as well as a deanery, has changed sides with the celerity of Mr. Charles Brownlow, and has all at ence discovered that the concessions may safely be granted oil certain simple and unobjectionable conditions. " These are the rumours of the day ; and it is with extreme sorrow and mortification that we confess we believe them to be true. Notwithstanding the letter of our noble premier to Dr. Curtis^— notwithstanding the removal of Lord Anglesey— notwithstanding the appointment of the Duke of Northumberland, we are assured that the Duke of Wellington has found fiiinself in such a position ( hat he has no alternative hut either to attempt the settlement of the Catholic Question or resign. lie has, therefore, chosen the more arduous, we wish tf e Could say the morfc hon- ourable task, and consented to brave a storm which we have mi doubt will shake the country to its very base — which will call into action all the religious sympathies, all tlie feelings of bitter disappointment, all the apprehensions which make weak men bold and strong men irresistible, and which w ill lead to a series of feuds and party struggles which will end in uni versa I convulsion. We look forward to the strife with inexpressible apprehension, and we tremble . to think of its consequences. " The Duke of Wellington cannot carry the Ca- tholic claims! There is a power in this country infinitely stronger than the power of any Ministry, Supported though it he by the most imperious con- servators and directors of the royal will. The Wel- lington Administration, if it make the attempt, will be crushed and extinguished in the struggle ; and the auxiliaries, oh whose apostate support they depend, atid the influence behind the throne, whose subtle and magic power is felt though not seen, will be trampled i! i the dust in the wrath of an indignant and insulted country ! " YVe think it our duty to speak thus plainly on a subject on which we, in common with every good and virtuous subject of his Majesty, feel most intensely. When the intelligence we now communicate shall reach the extremities of the empire— when the public mind has recovered from its surprise— there will lie heard the loud burst of public opinion— the language of remonstrance too tempestuous to be hushed— the clamour, the irritation) and the dissension, before which the agitations of Ireland will bS as nothing. England will never submit to place its institutions at the mercy of Irish Catholics. She would be a poor, enervated, and contemptible country— undeserving of civil liberty— fitted more for the manacles of despot- ism than the open air of freedom, if she should fall so low as'to submit to an innovation so pestiferous and unconstitutional as this. And why should she be so disgraced, merely to gratify the ambition of the demagogues of Ireland, or conciliate the detestable ambition or icanton influence of parties, whose influ- ence over a certain portion of the press has, for a long time, reflected the deepest odium on some of our contemporaries? But the time has arrived when this magic influence should be held up to the mirror of public opinion— when those who bend before it should be unveiled - when the mystery of court politics should be unravelled to the vision of an insulted people, and when private delicacy must yield to the impulses of outraged principle. Anil this task shall be ours. If the Duke of Wellington has fallen into the snare which proved falal to Mr. Canning, the greater will be his fall. He was our pride— our boast— our national hero— the chief in the field, the champion in the Cabinet. On him We set our hopes/ We trusted in his consistency and magnanimity; but if, after having flattered the nation into the belief that he stood before the altars of his country, and was ready to shed his blood in the preservation of its institutions, as he bad risked his life in maintaining the national honour, then, we say, with far less regret would we have hcaPd of the loss of Waterloo than the loss of his character as a statesman. " With regard to the minor indications in this hold and unprincipled attempt we shall speak with less reserve. Dr. Philpotts is openly accused of having bartered his lately recorded principles for later con- victions. He has burnt his pamphlets, and chaunted ca ira oh bis march from a deanery to a diocese. The man who tevileil Mr. Canning, in a tone of bitterness that might have given animation to the ashes of Junius, now embraces the principles he con- demned, now approves the policy he denounced) now scatters roses in the path which he lately strewed with all the poisonous plants of the herbalists* Apostacy like this puts to the blush ifie lesser sins of the Brownlows and the Daw- sons. It. is tpiilc rt volt- ing It is a stain upon the clerical character— it is an offence against public morals— it turns our best and dearest sympathies into obnoxious distrust— it breaks the bonds which unite man to man - it con- verts esteem into suspicion, and makes confidence in the honour of a friend the very butt of ridicule. " But we say no more. If all be true that we have heard, we have a crisis before us which will awake the sleeper from his bed, atfd put Sit end to any doubts that may be entertaifierf ffetffctting the flourishing state of our finances. The idea of restore ing tranquillity to the nation by conceding the Ca- tholic Claims is as vain ITS it woGld be to expect sunshine at the Pole by extinguishing the flames of Etna. If the Protestants of this country are to be deprived of their ascendant privileges, to gratify the incendiaries of Ireland, the sooner Ireland is declared independent of this country the better. The sooner the Union is dissolved the better. Save to us our religiotis establishments— restrain the influence of the freeholders of Clare to their own county— keep it at least on the other side of the channel— aiid if the Protestant Church of Ireland is to he sacrificed— let it be sacrificed!— but, in God's name, prevent the British Parliament from being the instruments of this political homicide. " But, come what may, the time has at length ar- rived w hen every Protestant must exert himself to the utmost to defeat the menaced calamity. The man who is not with us now is against us. He who wishes to preserve the Constitution, as it is, must sacrifice private feelings to public duty— must make his affections the martyrs of his opinions, and relin- quish the peace of private security in the defence of national independence. If the corner- stone of the Constitution of 1088 is to be removed, the whole political edifice must totter, and ere long must fall. With it must fall our funded and commercial system— last speech in Pitrliam^ irf, when he uttered the follow- ing memorable Sentence— we could divulge, but wc dare not. ' I must observe, that Ttopody can have looked at the transactions in Ireland for the last 1 ;) 0 years, without at the same time seeing that fhe Roman Catholic Church has acted oil the principle of com- bination; that this combination has been the instru- ment by which all the evil that has been done, has been effected ; and that to this the state tff things in Ireland is to be attributed. My Lords, the Noblfr Marquess has talked of the aristocracy being power- less, and of the people being. powerful, but under the influence of tlieir priests and demagogues; and he has attributed this state of things to the state of tliif" law, rather than to the combination to which I hafe referred. I do not think that the slate of the law cart1 account for this state of things; the combination 10 which I have referred certainly will. We are tliett told— be the cause of the evil what it may— that Catholic Emancipation is the remedy. My Cpfds,' I am afraid that if, in addition to Catholic Emancipa- tion, wc were to give up to the Iloman Catholics in Ireland the Church Establishments in Ireland, we should not have found a remedy for the evil pro- duced by this combination, unless WE cour. o 11 Ml THE MEANS OF CONNECTING THE ROMAN CATHO- I, 1C CHTJIITH WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF THE. COUNTRY.' " That any Minister of the Crown could effect emancipation on these terms, were impossible. Im- peachment must ensue. No, it is not this which has effected the change. It is, we conscientiously believe, an unconstitutional interference, an influence aud a controul behind the throne, and certain1 Siren' smiles, which first betrayed, and afterwards cost Mr. Canning his life, the blandishments of which the present Noble Premier has not himself, we fear, been able to with- stand. The secret) however, must soon transpire. Immediately that the rtimour reached our city of . this change in the Duke's sentiments, the signing of a requisition to the Mayor was commenced by the principal inhabitants requesting him to call a general meeting, to petition the Legislature, that no FURTHER CONCESSIONS may be made io the Koman Catholics. The Mayor has convened the Meeting for Thursday next, at the Guildhall. We hardly need to call upon every friend to the Protestant Establishment to be at his post. The admission of Roman Catholics into both Houses of Parliament is determined upon. If it fakes place, we ( irmly believe that no Protestant Ministry can carry on the affairs of Government a twelvemonth longer." the light, it will, it must suffer loss as soon as au impartial j. uijgment can he passed upon it; clamour^ U^ otry,* enthuSu asm, and a spirit of selfishness, constitute its present chief support. It derives no aid from reason, justice, or p'ifblic utility. Its old connection with the Crown, and that wise aversion to experimental innovation, which. Characterises every wise Government? " Ulite to defend it; but if p- tssions of file people were calmed, some man with the spirit anil power of Burke, who arranged that chaos ' the civil list,' and purified- ( without injuring them) the revenues anil prerogatives of the crown itself— some such man would arise, aud free the nation from the reproach of the Irish Temporal Establishment; he wituld relieve religion from an incubus, and the land and the country, with its proprietors and cultivators, from an intoier- ajire'firessure. The concession of the Catholic claims would 4laf* en this desirable result. Jj ".. The English' people are as vet but . imperfectly acquainted ' of fl'ie nature or viciousuess of this Establishment we in Ireland have been accuStoIned to view, from our infancy and when men gaze for a considerable time at the most hideous monster, they ca'tttfie'w it with diminished horror ; but a man of reflec- tion, liviug ill Ireland, and coolly observing the workings of the ChurcVi Establishment, would seek for some likeness to it ouly among, the I'rirsts of Juggernaut, who sacrifice the poor; naked, liuti^ ati victim's to their imp'ore and detestable idols." N^ etl we sat mote? The man that will not under- stand the meaning of this, would not be convinced though one rose from the dead. If the proposed step is taken, assuredly it will not tie the ultimatum. We therefore Call upon our countrymen to stand up in their strength, and aCquit themselves like men: let those who have kept back now press forward. If olte general exertion is made, all that the Aihninis- tration and their supporters ( though great and numerous they . may be) can do,- wilt be but as a handful of chaff. To the humble Protestant, we say, contend for your birthright— Protestant Ascendancy is Ihe only interest you have in the Constitution; To the wealthy, we say, now is the time to do your duty by those who look up to vou, who will rally round you in the day of trial, and who, if you will stand by them, will) as their forefathers did for your forefathers, shed their blood, if necessary, to protect yourselves, your families, and your properties. We have thus expressed our conscientious senti- ments. British by birth, aud Protestant from princi- ple, we shall not bow down before any great names on what we consider a question that is quite as important to lis as to the wealthiest Peer of the land, if not more so. Maqna est Veritas, et prtrvalebit. We believe the Protestant Religion to be the true visible representation of that Church, of which its Great Head hath declared—" H'hosoner shall fall on th: s stone shall be broken : but on whomsoever it shall full, it will grind him to poivder.*' BOTTERELL v. SUMMERS. : We arc now enabled to give the final result of this cause.' For the informa'ion of those readers unacquainted with its earlier stages, it may lie . proper to observe, that this was an action brought against tne Defendant to recover the sum of £ 111, being the residue stated to be unpaid of the purchase money for a house and picce of land at Oldbury, near Bridge north, Sold an^ conveyed by the Plaintiff to the Defendant. The cause came firrt to trial at our March Assizes in the year, when, after the Plaintiff had proved his case, the Defend- ants' Counsel put in the Deed of Conveyance fiom the Plaint- iff, - wliich, it. was contended was au estoppel at law to the action, anil that the Plaintiff's onlv remedy, if he bait ali'y, was in a Co'itrt of Eqiflty • aud the learned Judge, Mr Baron Vaughan, being of that opinion, directed a Nonsuit, with liber- ty, however; for the Plaintiff to urov. e to set it aside. A Rule to that effect, was afterwards obtained, which the Court made absolute, and the cause! camfc again for trial at our last assizes, when the . Jury thought p'roiier to finil a verdict for the De- fendant In the last MicfiaClmai Term, Mr. Taunton moved for and obtained a Rule Nisi, for setting aside that verdict,, as being one quite contrary to the cvfdeuce produced on tl » e trial. Agninst this Rule cause was shewn on the 28th lift. l » v Mr. Serjeant Ludlow, on the jiart of the Defendant, vvlien the Court, after hearing Mr. Baron Vaughan read the evidence which was jjiven by the Plaintiff on the last trial, and also what the learned Serjeant' could say, observed that they were qu » te satisfied as to the justice of the case, and asked him if his client would now consent to pay the debt without costs on either side, aud tliey urged hfm to recomiffend strongly to his client 5o to' do. The learned Serjeant promised to obtain the Defendant's Sentiments, and communicate them to fhe Court oil that d* y week ; but without troubling the Court aga'hi upon it, the Solicitors oil each side came to an agreement that a Slt't Processus should b « entered, on the Defendant paying tu full. for the debt, without Costs, and the matter is thus ended \ Ye understand that by the practfcfc of the Court, tfi6" Rifle trtr a flew trial could not have been made absolute, without subjecting the Plain' iff to the payfjlent of the Defendant's costs of the trial in llieh the Jury gave him a verdict,' arrcf which probably in- duced the Court to recommend the terms they did ; and as those costs would have been much more than the jCao given up by the Plaintiff, that circumstance probably iflduCed his Soli- citor to make the sacrifice alluded to. We give the following letter of the Earl of Win chilsea to our readers, with the full assurance that his appeal will not be made in vain. TO THE P RO TESTA NTS OF GREAT BRITAIN. " Fellow Country met!, Brother Protestants, " In the nanie erf oiir country and our God I call Upon yQU, without one moment's delay, boldly to stand forward in defence of our Protestant constitution and religion—- of that constitution which is the foundation of our 16pg cherished libe'rties— of that religiort which is' the source of the many blessings which this nation ' has received from the hands of the Almighty Gover- nor of the tJniverse.

In the midst* of all tlie defection which has fafcon place, Shropshire has reason to pride itself that one of its County Members— Mr. CRESSETT PEI. HAM, had the manliness to express his sentiments as fo Mr. Peel's receiit conduct, aiid tb enter his Protest against the Address. We trust the freeholders of the County will mark their sense of Mr. Pelham's conduct by some public indication of their approbation; and no opportunity for doing so could be better than at a County Meeting, which will, we hope, be called on this subject. In Shrewsbury, that conduct lias met *" ith fhe most unequivocal expressions of eulogy ; anil long may the Honourable Member hold that post which he has so nobly filled in the hour of peril. The Address to the King, and the Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, from the inhabitants of this County, against the concession of further Political Power to the llnman Catholics, has received a large accession of Signatures in Shrewsbury & in Ellesnicre. It will be for signature af Oswestry, this dSy -, at Wellington, to- morrow; at Ironbridge, on I richly next; at Bridgnorth, On Saturday next; at LudI6w, on Monday next; at Shiffnal, on Tnescfay tiest; at Market Drayton, on Wednesday ner- t; , li Wem, on fhe 19th ; and at Whitchurch, on the 20fh - iitslant.- k A counterpart, to be afterwards attached to' tin' original Address, will remain for signature at * h< e Oflice of this Paper, from the present day until the 21st instant; and we trust that not only the general Petition will receive numerous signatures, hut that Towns, Parishes, ami individuals Will make fheir voice heard against the projected debasement of the Irn- lestant Church, the proposed surrender of our Protestant privileges, and the final abolition of our Protestant Constitution— for, lef flic intended measure be glossed over how it will, such will be the result, if that measure is carried. Wc feel strongly upon this question; and we have a right ( as yet, thank God!) to express ourselves freely. We see the great names, even connected with our own county, that are arrayed against us; and we fell them respectfully, but firmly, they are cutting away the right arm tif their strength. If the pro- posed measure passes, 99 out of every 100 Protestants Will feel no more interest in contending for the pre- servation of many of the. established institutions' the State, than they would in contending for . the support of the Throne of China. So long as the Protestant Ascendancy is maintained, every man tljat l. a Prolestant from principle must feel if his interest to stand up manfully for the integrity of the Consti- tution : but once Roman Catholics are admitted into Parliament, from that moment the Protestant will be degraded in his station, and 99 out of every 100 uf them will have not the slightest direct interest iii what is now the vital part of the Constitution. We can already see the operation of the projected mea- sure : it stares us broadly m the face: all the iupine among us— all those Protestants who have been waiters upon Providence, and who have pinned their faith on the sleeves of those Senators of both Houses that have now so lamentably deceived them, ate stricken with dismay: and it must be highly gratify- ing to" some titled personages, whose names we wished never to have mentioned but with respect, to know, that their healths are now toasted by those who, at former periods, toasted Alderman Wood and Orator Hunt!! The Administration of the Country and their supporters have plunged into a stream, that will, unless they immediately extricate themselves,- most assuredly overwhelm them. They have laid the a.\ t* fo the root of that tree which is the main security of every description of property in the State, and wilder the branches of which we can atone find Consolation in affliction, or repose our hopes in the future. To those who do not see the gulph into which they are plunging, and who lay the flattering unction to their souls that the Roman Catholics will be content even with the ruinous step now proposed to be taken, we recommend a perusal of the following extract of a letter addressed to Lord Farnham by the very Dr. Doyle who passed through our town on Sunday last: " Z think the Church Establishment must fall sooner or liter; i's merits in Ireland are too well known; it has been brought to the light, and its works being such as do not bear The University of Oxford has proved itself faithful and consistent to the last. In one of the fullest con vocations holden for many years; nay, in the very fullest ever known fo have met on a similar occasion. A petition against further concessions to the Roman Catholics, firm yet respectful, moderate yet decisive, clear,' convincing, aud too well, alas! fitted for the days we live in, was voted on Thursday by * majority erf f& trr to one ; the number* being— For the petition 104— against it 48. This, too, in spite of every exertion made by the pro- Popery faction, who were Summoned far and near; in spite, too, of the know, ledge that Mr. Peel, the champion of Protestantism and the boast of the University because he was the Champion of this sacred cause— in spite, wc say, of Mr. Peel having by that day's post intimated his intention of resigning his seat for Oxford, in con sequence of his feeling compelled, in conjunction with his colleagues in the Cabinet, to recommend measures contrary to those principles which first induced his constituents to select him as their representative; in spite of all this, Oxford has been firm and faithful to the last.

PHITCUARD, Soli- citors, Broseley. HOUSE OF LORDS— THURSDAY. The House again met at five o'clock, and his Ma jesty's Speech was then read in the usual way. The Marquis of SALISBURY, then rose to move the Address, and said that lie should trouble the House with a very few observations. His Majesty had alluded to such a multiplicity of subjects, that he must throw tiimsejf upon their indulgence. He thought the Speech would be a subject of con- gratulation throughout, the country. In reference to. the question of Catholic Emancipation, he, for one, would never advise the removal of the disabilities under which the Catholics laboured, unless it could be done with the mpst perfect security to Chtirch and State. He was aware, that - he had not offered any argument to induce their Lordships to adopt this part of the Address, but he asked for their sanction to it simply upon the ground, that it was absolute^ necessary to take some steps upon the subject, and that some inquiry must be entered info. The Noble Marquis concluded by moving the Address in the usital terms. The motion was seconded by fctrl WICKI- OW. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, in answer to a question from the Dnke of Newcastle, that it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to bring a Bill into Parliament for the adjustment of what was called the Catholic Question ; but it was not their intention to move for a previous Committee. The Bill iu contemplation would go ' to the repeal of the Venal Statutes, with the exception solely of such as rested on special grounds ; and the Bill was to be accompanied with other measures, rendered necessary by Jhe removal of those disabilities. The Earl of WINCHILSI A rose, and said tbfcf, in the few observations which he felt it his dirty to i make, he should not depart from the respect whitli was due from that House to any communication which his Majesty was graciously pleased to make, lie would acknowledge that he hail heard with much sorrow, nay, with heartfelt regret, that measure was about to be introduced respecting the disabilities under which the Roman Catholics at present laboured ; and that those disabilities were to be removed. He had always opposed such a measure, and so he should continue to act. There was, he could not but believe, much inconsistency of character in some who now advocated a contrary proceeding. He thought that the Noble Duke ought to have shown to the House the grounds upon which the measure was founded, and in what manner the disabilities were to be removed. For his own part, he could only say that, if the Constitution of the country were to remain essentially Protestant, ^ his measure ought not to lie carried. But if the Con- stitution of the country were no longer, to be Protestant, then the Roman Catholic might be per mitted to legislate. This country had been for many years the envy of surrounding nations, but that envy would be its portion no longer were the Constitution changed. He trusted that, when the measure was brought forward, the Protestants would watch every step taken, and raise their voices in defence of the Protestant Constitution. Lord ELDON protested in the strongest language against, the concessions which. Jt seemed to be the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to make. He trusted the sentiments then expressed by him might find their way throughout 1he country, and that every individual in it would hear him say that, which was his firm, fixed, and unalterable conviction; that if they once permitted, as was now intended, Roman Catholics to take their seats in either House of Parlia- ment, or to legislate for the State, or if they granted them the privilege of possessing the great executive ottices of the state, from that day, and that moment the sun of Great Britain was set. That the Catholic Association must be put down his Lordship had no manner of doubt; but if, instead of putting it down the Legislature proceeded to strengthen its hands by granting the Roman Catholics additional privileges it would be neither more nor less than a surrender of the Throne and the Constitution into their hands He protested again and again against the violation of the Constitution implied in the measure, and trusted that eventually it would not succeed. Upon him who would introduce a single Catholic as a Legislator in either House, he looked as on one ready to undermine the Constitution. His country might send him to the grave covered with all the obloquy that could blast the reputation of a public man, but to this declaration he would adhere. His Lordship adverted in strong language to the conduct of the leaders of the Roman Catholic Association: theyhad openly asserted that their objects went far beyond emancipation : they had obtained money from France and from America: and they had Openly avowed that they would set up a constitution like that of America. Earl BATHIJRST explained that in his opinion a real difference existed between the present time, and when the subject was last introduced. It came now recommended from the Throne, and his Majesty's Ministers were to be held responsible for it. The time had at length arrived, when neither a neutral nor divided Cabinet on the subject could exist. Lord FARN HAM pressed Ministers for a disclosure of the measures they meant to propose. On the subject of securities, he thought none could be pro- posed, which could protect the Protestant Establish- ment from the abuse of Catholic power. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE congratulated the House on the tenor of the Speech. The Marquis of ANGLESEY stated, he should be ready to justify his late conduct in the administration of Ireland when called uuon ; but at present he preferred congratulating the House upon the prospect of emancipating so many millions of his feilow- subjects, upon which the tranquillity of the Empire depended. Lord GODERICH was glad to find, that the differences in opinion, which had paralysed so many Administrations, had ceased to exist in theMembers of the present. The Duke of NEWCASTLE predicted, that if the. Noble Premier persisted in his measure of Emanci- pation, he would soon fall from his present high station, and that he would deserve to fall. Lord REDESDALE spoke against the question of Emancipation, and drew a lengthened contrast lietween Roman Catholics and Protestant Dissenters, contending that they were two different bodies, and ought not to be entitled to the same privileges. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE took up that part of the Speech regarding our Foreign Affairs ; in reference to the Catholics of Ireland, the Noble Marquis hailed the recommendation in the Speech from the Throne as a happy omen. The Dnke of WELLINGTON.— When he stated the general purport of the measure which the King's servants intended to propose hereafter in Parliament, he intimated to the House that they were most, desirous to provide for the particular circumstances stated in his Majesty's Speech — namely, for Ihe safety of those institutions Which must ever be held sacred in this Protestant kingdom, and which it. was the duty and determination of his Majesty to preserve inviolate. He hoped that the Noble and Learned Lord ( Eldon) on the cross bench would rely upon his Majesty's Ministers for providing, in the measure which they were going to introduce into Parliament, for those particular circumstance* to w hich he had adverted; and if that Noble and Learned Lord would assist them with his great learning, he had no doubt but that they should derive great benefit from his valuable assistance. The measure, which lie intended should precede those which he should afterwards propose, was calculated to produce that moment of tranquillity which was so necessary to conciliate the public to the measure which lie intended to propose for the - pacification of Ireland. His Noble Friend on the cross- bench had stated to the House, that the proposed measure was inconsistent with the constitution as established at the Revolution; and another Noble Lord had concurred in that statement. If he had been going to propose a measure which would have introduced a predominant Catholic power into Parliament, he should then have been doing that which was clearly inconsistent yith the constitution. But he was not. going to do, any such thing. There were degrees of power at. luast.. Had not some Noble Lords exerted their influence to the utmost to produce that very power which rendered a measure like that he had announced to* Parliament absolutely necessary ? Whether it liad been brought about by the existence of these disabilities, or by the Catholic Association, he would not pretend to say ; but this he would say, that no man who looked at the state of things for the last two years, could proceed longer upon the old system in the existing condition of Ireland, and of men's opinions on the subject both in that country and in this. His opinion was, that it was the wish of the majority of the people that this question should be settled some way or other. It was upon that principle, and in conformity with that wish, that, he and his friends had undertaken to bring the adjustment of it under the consideration of Parliament ; and he hoped that their Lordships would give them such time as would enable them to bring it forward in that com- pleter manner, in which His Majesty had declared his willingness to give it his Royal assent. He hoped that, they would npi; take it info consideration by piecemeal, blit Would wait with patience till it was phu* d as a whole deliberately before them. Tlie Address was thep carried. " ' ; H0USE Of COMMONS. ii( Viscoiiht Oi'tVE rose with very great pleasure to jipe^ s tbe'tJqtise, after the gratifying Speech liom his^ lHaj^^' yhtch he had just heard read.. In it he rtiuyd'ijn^ t^ c'r for great congratulation. He hoped, ft'owt^ ei;; thaVhe should not be considered ; » s acting with disrespect, either towards the Crown or to- wards that House, if he departed from ihe course which was ordinarily adopted by those whr^ occupied the station lie then had the honour to fill, and in- stead of going regularly through the various sub- jects which the Speecli embraced, at once proceeded to the consideration of that which was the most im- portant, part— the di. sciission of which had interested most deeply the country from the. one end to the oflier— lie meant that portion which related to the tate of Ireland. In looking at that subject il Would be unnecessary for hiin to go into any detailed history of the various circumstances which had preceded the present slate of things. II would be sufficient to refer to what had taken place in Ireland durliig. the last six months. Since Parliament had been prorogued Ireland had been in a continued stale of ferment. Excitement had succeeded ex- citement day after day, till at length the two great parties in that country had arrived at so feverish and so dangerous a slate, that if was utterly im- possible for any pran to say tinder what circum- stances or at what time an explosion, dreadful in its outset and its consequences, might not take place. S- uch was the state of things, and having now gone on for some time,, it had become the duty of his Majesty's Government to investigate the matter, and to consider what course ought to be adopted. Me apprehended there could be but one. The Government coiild not by possibility remain an in- aciive spectator, and he thought that the plan they had adopted was the best that could be devised with a view ^ ensuring the tranquillity of the realm, and the prosperity of all classes of the community. He thought-. the course taken by his Majesty's Ministers to be not only the most constitutional, but also the most inanly, and the most straight- forward ; namely, to advice their . Royal Master, in the Speech with which the Parliament was opened, to recommend the suppression of that Association, which bad spread d/ scord through the country and excited the worst pjissions, and that being done, and the su- premacy, of the law asserted, to give relief to the Romau Catholics. , Under these circumstances it had been suggested to him to move the Address, with which he should conclude. He had felt great anxiety upon the subject. His opinion held hereto- fore been ; jn opposition to any further concession, beeaiise lie had believed that it could not be made wif( io% t; endangering the Protestant Church. He reveiie- d the Protestant Constitution of this country, and mqst heartfelt was his desire to see it per- pelnat^ jili, and to see these realms still flourishing in i'rjeijoni under its government. And he should also add, in fafriless, that so strong was his feeling in favour bf' t$ e maintenance of Protestantism, that if ho'lMil thought that the constitution could have been maintained precisely in its present form, he shtlu) d'liave been most reluctant to take the part he thenldfdV But lie had more to do than to consult his own immediate wishes. He. had to look at the cir- cumstances in which the country was placed. He felt that, Ireland could not remain in its present state. H > felt that if the question was ever to be entered upon, with a view of satisfying all parties, he could hardly expect, with the opinions he enter- tained, to see Gentlemen at the head of the Govern- ment, in! whom' he could place greater confidence than. lie did in his Majesty's present Ministers, or hien to whose wisdom and integrity he would sooner commit the Protestant interests. While Ihe Dnke of Wellington was the leading authority of the Governnlent in the House of Peers, and the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department was its organ in the House of Commons, he could not, from their high characters and avowed admiration of Ihe Protesfant establishment, anticipate that any mea- sure would receive their sanction which would be prejudicial to the Protestant constitution either in church or state. It was under these circumstances and from those considerations, that lie liad accented tif the honour which had been proposed to him; and most happy indeed should he feel if he could take any part tir forwarding measures which, while they inflicted no injury on the Protestant interest, would have the gratifying effect of giving pe^ ce to Ireland. Htiving thus stated that he had made up his mind to accept of the honour proposed to him, and the rea- sons upon which he had done so, he would, with the permission of the House, make a few remarks upon the particular plan of proceeding recommended by bis Majesty's Speech. He considered the measure of putting down the Catholic Association as ab^ o- lutetjy. necessary. He was entirely convinced that any effort to calm Ireland must prove futile while that engine of discord and distraction was in exist- ence. The effects of its proceedings had been alarm- ing and . dangerous. By its denunciations it had caused the whole of the Protestants of Ireland to unite, ahd. no one could say what might be Ibe con- sequence if some change were not effected. He was bappy . also that Government, under the circum- stances,, had determined on giving relief to the CatliolXcp,., He was happy of that, because it would enable'tTif real friends of the Catholics to silence their i£ j'ud( cious advocates, and to promote concord. Havjns ' flju?, as he believed, established good fl10 propriety, if not the necessity, of tauiiig^ b^ subject into consideration, he would venture to express bis humble but earnest hope that those ijvho, took the most liberal view of the subject would, not be discontented or disappointed if every thinig.; Jhey. had. coptended for were not granted, but that. they would view the measure as it really was—• a progressive one . to Ihe great end they desired. He hoped, also, in the Address- he should propose, to have I he support of. those with whom he had hitherto be « n inthc habit of voting oil this particular subject; and he- din so because it was almost impossible for theitiv; a$ Protestants, to expect to see it taken in handMinisters who were more devoted to the Protestant constitution than the present were. They had two points to consider. The first was, was any change necessary? and the second was, if change were iiccess. ai'y, was. this the fitting time to e! feet ll ? With respect to the first point, the state of Ireland was an ample answer. It was impossible to wftjtph the proceedings in that country, and to looli at its condition, and not confess that some chauge. was requisite for the attainment of peace. With respeet to the second point, he could conceive no time more favourable than the preseut. If he ' turned from the affairs at home, and looked at our proceedings abroad, he found that every where the Hritish^ Ionarch was at peace and performing offices tif beneficence. We might further, in proof of the fitness'of the time, refer to the feeling and solemn language in which his Majesty had recommended the sKhject to their investigation, the serious senti- ments which must have been imprinted on his Ma- jesty'S'ihiud, and the delicate manner in which his Majesty reminded the House of the important station in which he stood as the guardian of this Protestant country- The words to which he alluded were these':—" You will consider whether the removal of those disabilities can be effected consistently with the fill and permanent security of our establish- ments in church and state, with the maintenance of the reformed religion established by law, and of the rights and privileges of the Bishops and of the Clergy' of this realm, and of the churches committed to thdir charge." Let the House bear in mind that the Words thus embodied in the Speech were a part of that oath which his Majesty took at his corona- tion^ as the Sovereign of this Protestant country. That the measure was one of great difficulty, no one coulS ! deny; but he had often heard it said, and he beli^ ed it to be true, that there was no difficulty \ yhich the spirit of the British constitution, well diBerted. ' xvas not able to cope with. He had under- taien tlTrecommend the Address, with which be should, conclude, to the House, under the firm hope ,^ hat the measures which it sanctioned would in- crease tbe security of the Protestants, and further the happiness of the community iu general. He therefore implored the House to receive it in the spirit in. which it was proposed. The Noble Lord concluded by moving an Address, which was as usual iu entire concurrence with the Speech. Lord CORRY seconded the motion. His Lordship said, it was matter of satisfaction to learn that the state of Ireland was to be considered, and that the Catholic Association in Dublin was to be put down. He had been against what was called the Catholic Question, and had opposed all Bills to grant it, but, backed by such authorities, who said that something must he done to tranquillize Ireland, he gave up his o\ Vn opinion, and thought it would he moiH satisfactory if the question could be set at rest. However, he reserved to himself the right to resist all measures' that, did not provide for the amplest security of the Protestant Establishment in Church ah'd State. The address was then read from the. chair. Sir j. YottKE, said, that in' the olden time of Napoleon Buonaparte*, or in .. the modern time, of Daniel 0' Connell, - a more polile speech, or ofle which in his mind produced greater feelings of joy, he had never heard. That. Government should have at Iftst taken up this measure was most satisfactory to his ind. The Speech was rilost comprehensive, em- braciit^ all nations, all subjects, all sizes, and all sorts. It took the Ottoman Porte and the Catholic Association. There was, however, something in it joyous to them, and something also no less joyous to the country. It was with joy fliey won 1.1 hear, that the finances of the country were in a flourishing, condition, and that economy was to be the order of the day. Mr. BANKFS said the country ought to know what were the changes of circumstances that had occasioned tbe change of sentiments in the same meti. What existed now had existed for years.— Was important a " Change of the constitution was carriedt into effect. If not, if the measure were to he carried by the influence of Hie Government, in spite of that opinion, then, let not the friends of Reform and Uni- versal Suffrage, despair. They had nothing to do hut to form an Association and disturb the peace of the country, and in a few years the Minister would come down. to the House and -- toil them that there, was more danger in refusing than in granting- what wasnsked. After all, let tfiem say what they wlsuld. it was neither more,. nor less than the ascendency of the Catholic Associatfon. over the minds of Ministers which had induced then? to . grant this measure. But he would continue to do all in his | x> wer to maintain Ihe constitution fiy iiniforriily ofqwising every attempt to <; arry the proposed change. He maintained that the country tnight to have beeii apprised'of so'im- portant an intention on the part, - of the Government, and that the Members, so many of whom were now present, should have had an opportunity of declaring their sentiments before such an extraordinary Speech anil Address received he sanction of the House. He woufd oppose to tbe utmost of his power this fearful change, and if he was not supported in the . Hoi. se he trusted that hesjiould be from without, and that the whole voice of the country would be raised against it-.' He should now content himself with protesting again-( the Address, and against that part of the Speech which he believed had no parallel in history. The Address was then carried. the proffer made to get the Irish nation to join in the if Association? if that Were the end, suppression of the the mode adopted wis a base one. . He, however, wished tV) limn.' whether it was' intended to give the Catholics political power, and seats' in both Houses. Those were distinct questions. He was persuaded that if polifical power were conceded, - the Irish Protestant church could not long, exist. He wished answers to these questions ; by the answers he should regulate his conduct. Sir H. I NOUS rose',* ariil maintained that the word " Consider" in the Speech meant Itbthfng more nor less than concession.— The language of the Speech — the proposed concession— he could not but view as the result of intimidation. The Government had been intimidated by the lawyers and the rabble of Dublin; and to please them they were going to prostrate the Pro'estant Establishment and the Protestant Religion. Lord MILTON, Mr. M. FITZGERALD, Mr. BROWNLOW, and Mr. BROUGHAM, supported the Address. Mr. G. O. MOORE said the detorminafiaii of His Majesty's Ministers would be a source of surprise and sorrow to the Protestants of Ireland; and for those of England he hoped they would not be slow in the declaration of their opinions. He was firmly con- vinced that the security of Church and State must of necessity be endangered if the Roman Catholics were allowed any further accession of political power. Mr. PEEL spoke at considerable length. He dwelt upon the evils which attended a divided Ministry upon this important question, and pointed out the impolicy of forming a Government which should be united in its hostility to Catholic con- cession, after the decisions which had taken place in that House. It was desirable on all hands to put an end to tbe dissensions which had prevailed, and this could dhly be effected by a revision of the statutes. His Honourable Friends asked him, what conditions or securities would accompany the proposed enact- ments. The first measure required was to arm Government with power to suppress the Association, which was so notoriously mischievous and subversive of good order. The question of Emancipation would not be considered until the ascendancy of the law in Ireland was vindicated. With regard to the character and nature of the securities which they intended to propose, he ( Mr. Peel) should decline entering into any consideration at present, as it would he prodrretive of no good until the proper opportunity arrived for going into tbe details. But he would state, that they ( the Government) intended to Settle it on a satisfactory basis, by a general removal of civil disabilities, subject to certain exceptions and regulations, which would be deemed necessary for the security of the Church Establishment. They would reject any attempt at a partial settlement, and would enter into no compact or negociation with any power or party, but that of domestic legislature, and without reference to the wishes or opinion of others: With respeet to himself personally, he begged to say that he did not hold or express the opinions now uttered, in consequence of any thing that had recently passed; the opinion he now expressed he had entertained for the last six months. He bad hereto- fore expressed decided, unqualified opposition to the Catholic Question. He did not want to seek refuge in any evasive expressions— the fact was such; and that resistance was guided by circumstances. He now thought the question ought to be considered with the view to its permanent adjustment; and- that opinion he had sent, in a written communication, in August last, to the Duke of Wellington. The Marquis of CHANOOS conceived, that if he did not state his intention of opposing, by every means in his power, all further concession to the Roman Catholics, he would not be doing his duty to those whom he had the honour to represent, and whose opinions entirely coincided with his own. He had, on mature grounds, formed his opinion, and he would never surrender it. So long as he had a seat in that House he would oppose Catholic Emancipa- tion. He hoped the country would weigh well the consequences of further concessions, and would make every practicable effort to prevent the evH. If a new Constitution were now, in these days, to he given to this country, there was no reason why, annually or triennially, Parliament might not be c'alleil on to change or alter the Constitution. Mr. CRESSET- r PELHAM said, tbe Right Hon. Gent ( Mr. Peel), who had endeavoured to justify and give countenance to the intended proceedings of Ministers, had evidently abandoned those principles which he had hitherto avowed with such pertinacious obstinacy He did not wish to dwell on the subject; but he must protest against the proposed Address, on the ground of its proposing measures for giving political power to the Roman Catholics. Mr. MAXWELL also protested against the Address While he should have breath in his body, lie would oppose the encroachments of the Roman Catholics Colonel ROCHFORT protested against the Address, on the ground stated by Mr. Cressett. Pelham. Mr. H. GRATTAN, Sir J. MACKINTOSH, Lord ASH LEY", and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, spoke iu favour of the Address. General GASCOYNE, as art Englishman and a Pro- testant, was anxious to express in a few words the terror, dismay, and apprehension, with which he had heard some passages of the Speech from the Throne. He had listened with painful attention to what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gent.. ( Mr. Peel) ; and a more unsatisfactory explanation he had never heard in the course of his Parliamentary experience. The Right Hon. Gent, declared that nothing had happened to change his opinion ; yet he, who had always been the head and mainstay of the party that had resisted Emancipation, now canic forward as its proposer and advocate. The Right Honourable Gentleman had told the House that they had in several majorities pronounced in favour of the question, and that there- fore it was necessary. But how different was this to the language of the Right Hon. Gent, when he refused to join Mr. Canning's Administration upon the ground that the influence of the Prime Minister must neces- sarily advance the question even under a pledge of neutrality. The Right Hon. Gent, at that period justified his refusing office upon the same grounds which Mr. Canning had formerly put forward, and said, that with the « xample of his Right Honourable Friend before him, it was impossible for him to con- tinue in office with a Premier favourable to a vital question to which he was opposed, and that rather than commit such a dereliction of his duty lie would withdraw from public life. He appealed to the House if these were not the sentiments declared by the Right Hon. Gentleman, and he called upon him to shew upon what grounds he could now justify what but so short, a time ago he considered a dere- liction from public duty. He was obliged now to consider that the Right. Honourable Gentleman's ob- jection to Mr. Canning's Government was a personal objection. He lamented this, because the confidence of the country, in all public principle, must now be shaken. It was true, as the Right Honourable Gent, liad said, that there might be motives in his mind which were unknown to the House at lai'ge; but, after what had passed, he couid not give implicit confidence to a declaration of that nature, or bring himself to rely upon the infallibility of a Minister. There was, however, a power still to be felt in that House, and which the power of the Cabinet could not crush ; he meant the opinion of the people. He trusted that the prerogative of the Crown would be exercised in the Dissolution of Parliament, so that the | opinion of the people might be collected before so THIS DAY WAS PUBLISHED, Price 6 « .

OSSIAN'S ADDRESS TO THE SUN. 0 thou, who far above the world dost soar, Round as the shield which once my fathers wore, Whence are thy beams, O sun, which glow so bright, And whence, O ! whence thy everlasting light ? Th « u » marchest forth with beauty circled round, fto lesser orbs are near thy glory found ; The stars are hidden Ironi thv awful gaze, The moon retires affrighted from thy rays 5 Alone thou movest with almighty force ; Who dares he a companion of thy course ? The oaks which crown the mountains fall away,- The mountains, bowed with years, themselves decay ; The ocean shrinks and quickly grows again, ^ he moon is lost in the ethereal plain ; But. thou dost smile for ever, as to- day,: Exulting in the splendours of thy Way. When darkling air proclaims the tempest nigh,- tfVu thunders rdar aloft and lightnings fly, Thou lookest in thy lieauty far and wide, And from thy clouds thou dost the storm deride. But not to Ossian is thy visage bright; His eye, no more, discerns thv glorious light On eastern clouds, when floats thy golden hair, On western gates, when thou dost tremble there. Tint haply thou art, for a time, like me : Thy years, thy ages, will their limit see. Thou", in thy clouds, shall Veil thy lovely head; Careless when morning's voice would rouse thee from thy bed ! O then rejoice, and let thy glory shine ; . Rejoice, O sun, while youth and strength are thine? !•' A « ' e is a dark and all unlovely form, Like glimmering moonlight, impotent to warm, When through the broken clouds it dimly shinetf, And 011 the hills the straggling mist reclines, When the harsh North drives furious o'er the plain. And the worn traveller's eye seeks refuge— and in vain. until it arrives at Shannon- harbour, where it is intersected by the second great national canal; thus possessing, in its progress, two distinct lines of intercourse with the metropolis. Eighteen miles farther, and it again expands its surface and its influence, and forms a still more magnificent sheet of water, called Lough Derg, twenty- five miles loner, with an irregular breadth of from five to ten miles, and having- a coast of sixty miles, sur- rounded by a soil of the greatest possible luxuri- ance. Yet, strange to Sauntil within the last year, when a small steam- boat was introduced upon it, this great inland sea, lying directly between Limerick and Dublin, had but three or four inferior luggage- boats with which to carry on the inter- course between those two great cities ! This lake terminates at . Killaloe, vt- here the bishop of the see of that name resides. A stretch of eighteen miles lower brings the river to Limerick, still distant sixty miles from the sea, to which it runs between the counties of Kerry and Clare. Thus, then, we find this noble river bisecting Ireland; navigable for nearly two hundred and fifty miles from its. source to the sea; . Washing, in its course, the Shores of Leitrim, Longford, Ros- ' common, Westmeath, King's County, Galway, Tlpperary, Limerick, Kerry, and Clare 5 passing through districts rich in soil, mines, minerals, and population, yet unoccupied, we might almost Say— unknown i We could here say much in Sorrow, if not in anger; but let us look at the bright side of the picture. Let us anticipate this gnat river, itself the richest mine of national prosperity, though now " dragging its slow length along" with great, but unprofitable splendour, about to become a ciedium of intercourse and national prosperity. Let us hope to see its numerous towns rising in import- ance; its villages emulating the rank and influence of towns; and its thirty tributary rivers pushing the means of commerce up to their respective sources. To what shall we attribute this great expected change? To inland navigation. Inland steam navigation will effect it all. It has already been commenced by some enterprising and competent individuals, who, we are assured, will, at least, lead the way to the accomplishment of this great work. Were we here to throw a selfish thought upon , the subject, it would be to say, that to Liverpool the inland navigation of Ireland promises the most extensive benefits. Liverpool is for ever in- dissolubly united to the capital of Ireland, and that capital, like the heart in the human frame, may be made to circulate the life- blood of commerce, through the more distant parts, by an organization and through channels hitherto unused or unknown, and thus converting the otherwise useless or paralysed extremities into Instruments of health, vigour, and defence. We now fairly ask our readers, whefher they had any conception of such a river, or of such capabilities? We fearlessly answer for them, No! charge.— These are institutions which must ever he held sacred in this Protestant kingdom, and which it is the duty and determination of his Majesty to preserve inviolate.— His Majesty most earnestly recommends to you to enter upon the consideration of a subject of such paramount importance, deeply interesting to the best feelings of his people, and involving the tranquillity and concord of- the United Kingdom, with the temper and moderation which will best ensure the succesful issue of your deliber rations." DREADFltL FIRE AT YORK MINSTER. The Opening of Parliament. IRELAND. [ From the Liverpool Albion.'] There is no country, in proportion to its extent, • whii. li opens a fairer field for the numerous ad TaiilttEes wliieh fullow in the train of commerce than Ireland. Inland navigation, and other means of intercourse, especially if aided by that great master- work, steam navigation, may there exhibit their benefits and influence. In those districts • which are farthest removed from the advantages of coasts and harbours, Ireland possesses all the elements of profitable commerce,— soil, produce, and population: yet, what are these without the means of intercourse? The soil, however luxuriant its produce, lies half cultivated and unproductive; its mines and minerals, however rich, remaiu com- paratively useless; and population itself becomes a bane, rather than a blessing. Without the means of intercourse and interchange, all stagnates ; and man himself, wanting the necessary stimulus, sinks almost to the level of the brute. The promotion of the inland navigation and Intercourse of Ireland, therefore, would be most likely to produce extensive and lasting amelioration in the habits, character, and condition of its teeming population. Our attention having been lately drawn to this subject, by the rapid increase of trade and inter- course between Liverpool and Ireland since steam navigation, was introduced, we have given the subject some consideration, and cannot avoid ex- pressing our surprise, that so little is known of the interior of Ireland, and of the benefits which it may yet confer on this country. Of its means of inland navigation we scarcely know how to convey an adequate idea to our readers. Let us suppose a splendid and navigable river, taking its rise in some noble sheet of water equal to another Windermere, and more distant than London is from Liverpool. Suppose it making occasional deviations from a direct course, as it were for the express purpose of move usefully and more extensively imparting its benefits, and bring- ing within its range other and more distant counties. Suppose it expanding into occasional lakes, of from fen to twenty miles in length, with innumerable bays and inlets, a great desideratum in inland trade; traversing the most improved as well as the most rugged districts; and. thus con- necting the wildest mountain scenery with all the magic'of cultivated landscape. Suppose this noble stream intersecting districts abounding in coal, limestone, slate, iron, and oilier minerals; winding its silvery course from Hampshire through Berk- shire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Cheshire, and emptying itself into the estuary of the Mersey. And now, except for ' the purposes of ornament, except as an incident in the landscape of some noble park, or supplying the carious, and affluent with scenes for pleasurable excursions, imagine it almost a waste as to com- niercial or trading purposes ;— imagine this, and we shall then have portrayed a correct picture of the state of the interior of Ireland, with its great river, the Shannon, running through lis centre. The Shannon, navigable from ils source, rises in Lough Allen, in the county of Leitrim, a lake above ten miles in length, and having on its banks the celebrated Arigna iron and coal mines. At a distance of fifty miles from its source, it receives the first of the great national canals lending to the metropolis, from which it is there distant eighty miles. Ten miles lower down it opens into a ' splendid and eminently picturesque sheet of water, called Lough Itea, twenty miles in length, and excelling, in the beauty of its islands and their evergreen woody scenery, the attractions of our own Westmoreland. This great lake, or enlarge- ment of the Shannon, from its irregular shape and uumerous bays, is, however, usefully navigable by the aid of steam- boats alone. Within two miles of , this lake, the Shannon passes through the ancient, celebrated, and fortified town of Athlone, iu the very centre of Ireland, possessing a large garrison and 1 dense population. From Athlone, the river distance of twenty- five A few minutes after two o'clock on Thnrsday, the Lords Commissioners took their seats in front of the Throne. They were— the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst, Shaftesbury, and Elienborough.— The Lord Chancellor then read his Majesty's Speech, as follows :— " My Lords and Gentlemen,- " His Majesty commands us to infofrii you that he continues to receive froni his Allies, and generally from all Princes and States, the assurance of their unabated desire to cultivate tile most friendly relations with his Majesty. " Under the mediation of' his Majesty, the preliminaries of a Treaty of Peace between his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Brazil and the Republic of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, have been signed and ratified. " Hib Majesty has concladed a Convention with the Kinjr Of Spain, for the final settlement of the claims of British and . Spanish subjects, preferred under the Treaty signed at Madrid oil the 12th of March, T823.— His Majesty has directed a copy of this Convention to be laid before you; and his Majesty relies upon your assistance to enable him to execute some Of its provisions. " His Majesty laments that his diplomatic relations with Portugal are necessarily suspended. Deeply interested in the prosperity of the Portu- guese Monarchy, his Majesty has entered into negociations with the head of the House of Bragausa, in the hope of terminating a state of affairs which is incompatible with the permanent tranquillity and welfare of Portugal. " His Majesty commands us to assure you that he has laboured unremittingly to fulfil the stipulations of the Treaty of the 6th July, 1827, and to' effect, in concert with his Allies, the pacification of Greece.— The Morea has beeu liberated from the presence of the Egyptian and Turkish forces.— This important object has been accomplished by the successful exertions of the naval forces of his Majesty and of his Allies, which led to a convention with the Pacha of Egypt; and, finally, by the skilful disposition and exemplary conduct of the French army, acting by the commands of his Most Christian Majesty on the behalf of the Alliance.— The troops of his Most Christian Majesty, having completed the task assigned to them by the Allies, have commenced their return to France.— It is with great satisfaction that his Majesty informs you that, during the whole of these operations, the most cordiul union has subsisted between the forces of the Three Powers, by sea and land. " His Majesty deplores the continuance of hos- tilities between the Emperor of Russia and the Ottoman Porte.— His Imperial Majesty, in the prosecution of those hostilities, has considered it necessary to resume the exercise of his belligerent rights iu the Mediterranean," and has established a blockade of the Dardanelles.— From the operation of this blockade those commercial enterprises of his Majesty's subjects have beeu exempted, which were undertaken upon the faith of his Majesty's declara- tion to bis Parliament respecting the neutrality of the Mediterranean Sea. " Although it has become indispensable for liis Majesty and the King of France to suspend the co- operation of their forces with those of his Imperial Majesty, iu consequence of this resumption of the exercise of his Belligerent Rights, the best understanding prevails between the three Powers in their endeavours to accomplish the remaining objects of the Treaty of London. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, ( t We are commanded by his Majesty to acquaint you, that the Estimates for the current year will forthwith be laid before yen— His Majesty relies on your readiness to grant the necessary supplies, with a just regard to the exigencies of the Public Service, and to the economy which his Majesty is anxious to enforce in every department of the State. " His Majesty has the satisfaction to announce to you the continued improvement of the Revenue. The progressive increase iu that branch of it, which is derived from articles of internal consumption, is peculiarly gratifying to his Majesty, as affording a decisive indication of the stability of the national resources, and of the increased comfort and pro- sperity of his people. " My Lords and Gentlemen, " The State of Ireland has beeu the object of his Majesty's continued solicitude.— His Majesty la- ments that, in that part of the United Kingdom, an Association should still exist which is dangerous to the public peace and inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution; which keeps alive discord and ill- will among his Majesty's subjects, and which must, if permitted to continue, effectually obstruct every effort permanently to improve the condition of Ireland.— His Majesty confidently relies on the wisdom, and on the support of his Parliament; and his Majesty feels assured that you will commit to him such powers as may enable his Majesty to maintain his just authority. " His Majesty recommends that, when this essen- tial cbject shall have been accomplished, you should take into your deliberate consideration the whole condition of Ireland ; and that you should review file laws which impose civil disabilities on his Ma- jesty's Roman Catholic subjects.— You will con- sider whether the removal of these disabilities can be effected, consistently with the full and permanent security of our Establishments in Church and State; with the maintenance of the Reformed Religion established by law, and of the Rights and Privileges of the Bishops and of the Clergy of this [ FROM THE YORK COURAX'T.] It is our painful duty this week to record a most dreadful occurrence which has not had its parallel in York since the year 1137. Our Cathedral Church, tthieh has justly been termed the greatest ornament of this ancient city, and an honour to the nation in which it stands,- being one of the largest and most magnificent structures of the kind in Europe, was yesterday ( Monday) morning found to be in flames. The following is as full an account of the melancholy eircuiftstance as our time will allow us to give. On the Sabbath evening, there was service in the Sinister, as ustiaf, itfKl all appeared to be safe. About four o'efcek on Monday morning, a man passed through the Minster Yard, and saw a light in the building; but, it not being very considerable, he supposed that there might be workmen preparing a vault, or otherwise engaged, itiid he consequently passed on without inquiry. Between six and seven the discovery was, however, made in a most extraordinary manner. A boy of the name of Swinbank, w ho is one of the choristers, was passing through the Minster- yard, and acci- dentally stepping upon a piece of ice, was thrown on his back. Thus placed, and before he could recover himself, he saw a quantify of smoke issuing from several parts of the roof. The sight was truly alarm- ing and unaccountable, and lie lost no time in going for the man who keeps the keys. They returned together; and when they entered, the sight was beyond description. A dense mass of smoke per- vaded the whole building, and the beautiful wood- work of the choir was extensively on fire. An alarm was immediately given, the workmen connected with the Minster were all called up, fire engines were procured, and the whole city soon became acquainted with the distressing tidings. The Minster being lit with gas, that was first blamed as the cause of the fire ; but, in justice to the Gas Company, we deem it right to endeavoirr to remove so unjust a prejudice as this rumour has occasioned. The next report was that the fire was the work of Incendiaries: and, iu confirmation of this, a knotted rope, found hanging from one of the windows near the Chapter- House, was pointed out, as the means by which the villains had gained admit tance for their diabolical purposes. On the af'riviil of the workmen and others, about seven o'clock, they found the interior of the Vestry, in which the Clergy and Choristers usually unrobe, completely consumed by fire. Its coiununiication with other parts of the Minster was then easily traced, and we are sorry to say that the beautiful wood- work of the Choir, together with the invaluable Organ, w hich we believe had not its equal, were soon a heap of ruins. Communication' with the roof was not at the first apprehended; but we lament to say, fhat the pillars being of lime- stone, served as conductors of tlie fire, and the roof of the choir being of very dry wood, it soon was joined « *>? l> the other wood- work in one general conflagration. Ail the fire- engines in the city were on the Spot, but they were found quite insufficient; and expresses were sent to the Bar'rScks, and to Leeds and Tadcaster for others. The 7th Dragooir Guards, under the command of Major Clark, behaved in a very handsome manner, for they not only sent their engine without delay, but two troops, to guard the workmen and building from idle and unprincipled intruders. The Staff' of the Second West York Militia also deserve the highest praise for their prompt and effective services.— The fire engine from Tadcaster also soon arrived with four horses. Notwithstanding every exertion, the flames got through the roof of the choir, about half past eight; and it is impossible for. us to describe the awful picture which the devouring element, rising above this majestic building, and threatening it with deso- lation, presented to the view. The effect produced by the glare of light upon the stained glass of the windows, was also beyond description. About nine o'clock the roof of the choir fell in ; and then was presented another and a more distress- ing scene. The house of prayer, which but the evening before had resounded with the voices of the worshippers, and where all was order and harmony, was now a fiery furnace— The pillars, which once served to assist in the dividing of the choir from the two side aisles, now stood alone the whole being one open space, with the roof burning on the ground, and nothing above hut the light of heaven.— The roofs of the side aisles were smoking when we went to press; but there was reason to believe that the fire had been checked, and would be ultimately got under caster and Leeds, for their engines. Assistance hastened to the spot— but every effort was required to prevent the spread of the fire from the choir to fhe nave, and it was useless to think of saving any part of the interior of that magnificent structure. Indeed, so awful was the scene, that many persons looked on in despair, considering all exertion useless. On our entering the Minster about eight o'clock, the aspect was dreadful in the extreme. The whole of the spacious nave was filled with one suffocating dense mass of smoke, which checked respiration, whilst from the choir the red glare of the flames seemed ineffectually to stritggle with the darkness that might be felt. The exterior presented a no less frightful and portentous appearance. The smoke was issuing from fhe base of the lantern tower, from the pinnacles to the south front, all along the roof of the nave, and rolling in spiral volumes round the western tower. The beams of the advancing sun shining coldly from the frosty atmosphere, occasionally illu- mining the curling vapour with an amber hue. The flames had made frightful progress at nine As the whole of our intelligent readers may not recollect the leading circumstances connected with the history of the Miuster, we will briefly notice that, it has been once before seriously injured by fire, and twice been burnt down and re- built. Its origin may be ( Jated from the year 0- 26. In 711 it was dreadfully damaged by fire, and remained iu that sfate till 707, when it was taken down, rebuilt, completed, and con- secrated, in 780. Tims it stood till 10f>(>, when the Northumbrians, aided by the Danes, having besieged York, the garrison set fire to several houses in the suburbs, which tire unfortunately extended further than they intended, and, with other buildings iu the city, burnt the Minster to the ground. The re- building of it commenced the following year ( 1070), ami it was in time completed ; but in 1137, the same accidental fire, which burnt St. Mary's " Abbey, St. Leonard's Hospital, 39 churches in the city, and 1 in the suburbs, also again destroyed the Minster. In 1171, however, Archbishop Roger began to rebuild the choir. lu 1227, the South part of the cross aisle or transept was added. In 1260, the north part of the transept and steeple were added. In 1291, the foundation of the nave was laid. In 1330, the west end, with its two steeples, was com- pleted. In 1361, the old choir wbs taken down, an I the present one built. And in 1370, the old steeple was taken down, and in seven years the present one completed. Sucli are the changes which" this building and its predecesstrs have undergone. But we understand that there has not been any damage done to it by fire since 1137," excepting two trifling o xiirrences which took place through the carelessness of the workmen within the last sixty years. winds its noble stream miles, passing within a few miles of Ballinasloe, —- -•- - perhaps the largest cattle- market iu the world, | Realm, and of the churches committed to their FURTHER PARTICULARS. The above were the facts of this distressing event which we were enabled to procure for our first edition. The sensation produced amongst all classes throughout the city, as the alarming intelligence of the catastrophe spread, is indescribable. The an- nouncement was received with a smile of incredibility, but when the truth could no longer be disputed, a sort of stagnation of thought was produced, and amongst the crowds who were assembled to view the progress of the devouring element, one common expression of horror and astonishment w- as depicted in each countenance— a sort of gaze which seemed to be scarcely awakened to the reality of the evil.— How appropriate at this awful moment, are the words of the Psalmist— » " Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire." Who could have imagined, when the assembled worshippers on Sunday evening beheld the beauty and the seeming stability of the fabric, and listened to the swelling harmonies of the choir, that, as it were, " in an hour," . so much of architectural beauty,— so much of human art dedicated to the sublimest purposes, was to come to an end! In the particulars we have collectcd, above, we have described the discovery of the fire, but its origin is a matter of mysterious uncertainty. It is evident from the progress the flames had made when thus discovered, that they had been raging for a consider- able time. So early as a quarter past five o'clock, the report of an explosion was heard, which seemed to be confined within some extensive building- from its hollow reverberations. This might be the echo of some falling piece of timber, or some other weighty substance in the Minster. The first public alarm was given by the tolling of the bell at the Church of St. Michael- le- Bclfrey, and a messenger was dispatched with all speed to Tad- rung still farther to spread the alarm, and shortly afterwards the roof of the choir began to fall in with horrid crashes, at every fall sending up showers of sparks and smaller pieces of ignited wood, as from the crater of a volcano. Some of these pieces were borne in the air over the city walls to the Lord Mayor's Walk. The flames now played- uncontrolled on the exterior of the choir and chancel, careering several feet above the battlements, whilst the water from tlie engines mingled with the steam of melting- lead from the roof with awful effect. At this moment it was impossible to view the interior without feeling emotions of the most painful kind. Every vestige of the exquisite tabernacfc work around the choir was consumed— the pews, the cathedra, the pulpit, the beautiful altar- screen so justly admired for its elegant architecture, had all become one commingled mass of smouldering and blazing ruin, which strewed the pavement upwards of three feet deep. The organ, which has had so much pains taken with it to bring it to ib recent state of perfection, had early fallen a devoted sacrifice— and now, at intervals, were seen portions of the valuable music falling from the relics of the loft, where it had towered in " its pride Of place," into the burning waste below— inspiring in their fall, the melancholy thought that their assist- ance, in the swell of sacred harmony, was no longer needed.— The last anthem performed in the Cathe- dral, on Sunday evening, was that by Dr. Blow— « » I was in the spirit on the Lord's day," and as the de- lighted ear listened to the loud harmony of the choir, in expressing the voice of a great multitude, the voice of many waters, and the voice of mighty thunderings, little did the thought occur, that by the morrow's dawn, these sounds should be. exchanged for the voice of many people, lamenting the destruc- tion of this solemn temple— the hissing of many waters amongst its devouring fiames, and the horrid thunders of its falling beams and rafters. The deepest apprehension was felt for the fate of the eastern window, the glory of the building, but fortunately hitherto the damage if has sustained is but slight, a few squares only being broken, and the frame- work having sustained but little injury. The other windows also have all escaped with very partial damage. Many of fhe monuments behind the chan- cel have, of course, been greatfy broken and de- stroyed. The engines arrived with the greatest promptitude ; the effective one of the Yorkshire Insurance Office was particularly serviceable. Shortly after ten o'clock the engine belonging to Beilby Thompson, Esq. of Escrick Hall, arrived, and at eleven one from Tadcaster. At two o'clock, two engines, with the requisite complement, of men, arrived from Leeds. Unfortunately, a wheel c. 1me off one of them on the bridge, which occasioned some little delay, hut it was soon replaced, and the engine proceeded to fhe scene of its destination. In the course of the afternoon two other engines arrived from Leeds, the last about four o'clock, when, we regret to say, another acci- dent occurred. As the drivers were making their turns into the Minster- yard the engine was thrown over, when one of the horses fell and was severely lacerated, and a man who was attending it was also slightly injured. We have the satisfaction to state, that hitherto this direful calamity has not had superadded to it any material accident. Two cases only were in the Hospital yesterday, the one, a man whose arm had been broken by the fall of a piece of timber, and fhe other a person whose long exertions in the cold and wet had rendered him benumbed and insensible. The contiguity of tire Will- Office to the Cathedral rendered the preservation of it8 valuable documents an important consideration, and accordingly on the first alarm, the most active exertions were made for their removal into Belfrey Church opposite. We may here state, that the total number of engines employed was ten : viz— The Yorkshire Fire Office ; the two City engines; the Barrack engine; B. Thompson's, Esq. which was drawn by bis beautiful set of favourite grey horses; the Leeds Insurance, . the Norwich Union, the Sun, and a fourth from Leeds; and the Tadcaster engine. Towards noon, fhe assistants began to remove from the choir a great portion of the blackened timbers which had fallen. What a melancholy contrast from fhe busfle of removing the preparations for our recent Festival! Then were taken away the mate- rials of a temporary magnificent erection, to leave the stupendous architecture of the building to be admired in all its original beauty— now the relics of that building itself were rudely cast forth, blackened, un- sightly, and all their carving obliterated. The fire was happily got so far under by noon, that the apprehensions of its spreading to the nave were removed. We regret that the stone fabric itself has sustained much injury ; the pillars are of lime- stone, and they burnt with great violence at the height of fhe conflagration. They are much cracked and broken. The sight of the ruins is most melan choly, the whole of the choir being laid open to the side aisles, and the iron bolts, hinges, and staples remaining in the stone, being the only remaining vestiges of this once beautiful division of the church. The engines continued playing all the night, and 30 of the 7th Dragoons, assisted by six who had volunteered from the Staff of the 2d West York Militia, mounted guard for the night.— Thirty special constables were also sworn in to assist in keeping watch. At ten o'clock in the evening, men with lanterns w ere examining every part of the roof at the East end of the Minster. We have great pleasure in stating, that all the curiosities, which have long been kept and exhibited in one of the vestries, were preserved.— They, it is known, consist of the large Horn of Ulphurs, a canopy of state, and coronets of silver, three silver chalices and several rings, a wooden head found near the graves of Archbishops Rofberham and Scroope, a pastoral staff' of silver, the cordwainer's bowl, the coronation chair, an iron helmet, some ancient spurs, & c. The comnuuiion table was also removed in time to save it from fhe devouring element. The plate, however, was not secured till after it had. been melted by the heat, into unshapely masses of silver. thus fm'med into a step ladder, is a portion of the tope belonging to the bell which is rung for daily prayers. Thus it ii evident, that by whomsoever placed, it must have been prepared at the interior of tlic Cathedral, and intended for the purposes of egress. Yesterday, a bunch of matches burned at both ends was found among the rubbish, and afterwards a pair Of pincers, and an iron instrument which would serve many purposes, amongst others that of striking a light, have been discovered. It is also to be noticed, that the ringers were in the Minster at half- past seven on Sunday evening; and if the smouldering of the accidental snuff'of a candle had originated the confla- gration, it is hardly probable but tiiat they would by that time have noticed the smoke, if they had not observed some indications of the flames. At present the affair is involved in the deepest mystery, a mystery darkened by the most dreadful suspicions; and in conclusion, we can only express our sintere wish, that this hidden deed of darkness fnay be brought te light, and if there should be any one involved ill such a depth of depravity and guilt, that he may be brought to that punishment such atrocity deserves. ititsceUancoMs Entclliocticc. TIIF. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. Last evening, an investigation of several workmen and others took place at the Residence in the Minster Yard, w ith a view, if possible, to ascertain the precise cause of this lamentable occurrence. The inquiry was conducted before tlieVen. Archdeacon Markham, the Rev. W. V. Vernon, the Rev. D. R. Currer, and II. J. Dickens, Esq. magistrates; Jonathan Gray, Esq. and R. Davies, Esq. Town- Clerk; and Mr. Camidge and Dr. Camidge, the organists of the Cathedral. Nothing satisfactory, however, was eli- eijed at this investigation, and the inquiry was adjourned to a future day, In the mean time, for prudential reasons, it has been deemed best not to publish ( he particulars of what transpired on this occasion. tinder the present state of things, we deem it our duty to remark, that though at first, we were strongly inclined to believe that this melancholy event was the effect of accident, and we were confirmed in this supposition from the assertion so confidently made, that the knotted rope had been accounted for ; yet we regret fhat subsequent and more minute inquiry leads to the supposition, dreadful as it is, that some perverted and unaccountable feeling of malice has led to the partial destruction of the finest building in Europe. We have ascertained, from personal inspection that the glass of the window at the North side of the Cathedral, whence the rope was suspended, was broken from within— we have learnt, upon enquiry, that when the plumber, who it is said had placed it there, arrived, he found it in its mysterious situation, and has no idea whatever of how it came there— and it has still further conic to light, that the rope The statement that Mr. Cnrwood, of the Oxford Circuit, has been appointed Chief Justice of Bumbay, vacant by the death of Sir E. West, is contradicted. The three largest coach proprietors in Europe, singularly enough, happen not only to be females, but widows : namely,— Mrs. Horn, Mrs. Nelson, and Mrs. Mountain. The trotting match against time for trotting 100— say 100 consecutive miles— in ten hours and a half, was performed on Monday by an American horse, on Sunbury common. Time was backed at £ 200 to £ 100. We perceive, by the Reports of the Prerogative Court, that a suit is now depending between the next of kin of Mr. John Farquhar, the late celebrated purchaser of Fonthill, and the executors under a w ill alleged to have been made by the deceased in the East Indies, for a distribution of the personal property, which is said to amount to the enormous sum of £ 600,000. A warehouse belonging to Messrs. James Ackroyd and Son, at Brookhouse, near Halifax, was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning, together with about 2,000 pieces of worsted stuffs, anil a quantity of wool. The loss is considerable, and wholly uninsured. On Friday last, J. F. Maddoek, Esq. paid into the hands of the Lord Mayor of London the sum of £ 230. 18s. 8( 1. being fhe proceeds of a fancy ball and subscription in Chester, for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian refugees. It is remarkable . that the first place in Sussex where a Protestant petition has been prepared, should be a borough notoriously under the domina- tion of a great Roman Catholic peer. To the inhabit- ants of Steyning this fact is highly creditable, and it bespeaks more independence fhan we confess they had previously obtained credit for possessing. It will be a reflection on the rest of the county, should their example be a solitary one. This, however, we cannot anticipate ; for if his Grace of Norfolk, with all his parliamentary influence, cannot prevent the burgesses of a town which belongs almost solely to himself, from giving free expression to their senti- ments, it seems impossible to suppose that in places where the public voice is unrestrained,— to say nothing of fbose where influence of a contrary description prevails,— similar demonstrations shonld not be made. Most fruly is it said in the Atlas that " the mass- of the English population is opposed to Catholic emancipation;" and we are satisfied that many proofs of this truth will be given in the Pro- testant county of Sussex-. Here, in the days of the bigotted Mary, were burnings and persecution as well as in Smithfield ; and in our town of Brighton live at this day the descendants of the Protestant martyrs. At Lewes and Steyning, if we mistake not, were witnessed the bloody doings of popery ; and here, on the same spots, we are assured that Protest- ants of the present day will come triumphantly forward, to prevent the possibility of seeing repeated those scenes of terror.— Brighton Gazette. Monday week, a gentleman who joined Tome's Bath Coach at Bruton, on its journey to Weymouth, borrowed from Oliver, the coachman, his best box 1 great coat to keep him warm. When they arrived at Dorchester, the gentlemarr told Oliver that whilst the horses were changed he would walk on the Weymouth road, until the coach overtook him. Nothing, how- ever, has been dince seen either of the coat or the wearer, who had also forgotten to pay his fare. On Tuesday, several printing offices in Nottingham, were searched by the agents of the Stamp Office, when a quantity of unstamped Almanacks being found, they were seized/ together with the types, printing press, & c. and carried to the Police Office. Wednesday week, a man, named John Connor, was captured by Ryley and Gaskell, police- officers, being on his way to Ireland. It appears that he came to this town in a post, chaise, under somewhat suspicious circumstances, which caused { he above named officers to detain him. On the following day a person arrived from Birmingham in search of him, who turned out to he his employer, and from whom he had decamped, faking along with him £ 100, which sum he had to deposit in the bank, but which was too strong a temptation for his honesty. Upwards of £ 80 were found on his person. He was taken back to Birming- ham to await his trial for the oftenee.— Liverpool SaturdayA dvertiser. Among the numerous freaks related of sailors the following will not" appear the least curious:— On a ship being lately paid off at Portsmouth, some of the crew resolved to regale themselves at a neighbouring village. In order to go with suitable eclat they hired a donkey and cart, and drove in fine style to the place in question. After having enjoyed themselves a reasonable time, on proposing to return, one of them observed that their beast was too tired. " D— n it," cried another, " he brought us out; we can't do less than take him in." No sooner said than done ; the donkey was bound, hoisted into the cart, and dragged into Portsmouth, to the admiration even of the inhabitants of that town, although pretty much accustomed to the peculiar pranks of the actors. DRLM- MAJOR CLARK, OF THE EAST DEVON.— We noticed in the Herald, a fortnight since, that, by the contemplated reduction of the militia staff, the above- mentioned person would be discharged from the regiment, after a service of 69 vearsand 70 days!!! Within these few days we have had the following particulars communicated to us relative to the mother of this veteran : —" lu the month of January, 1812, Mary Clark made an application to John Hawker, Esq. at the Guildhall of this borough, relative to some parOL- hial matters, when from her extreme old age, the worthy magistrate was induced to make some inquiries of her. She ( hen gave the following account of herself and family: — She stated that she was from Dundee, in Scotland, and was 100 years of age on Michaelmas Day preceding; she was baptized in Dundee, at the new kirk, and produced her certificate; her father was named John Gout- ley, was a blacksmith by trade, and lived in ( he Netliergate ; she was married to Philip Clark 80 years ago, before the rebellion in Scotland; the minister who married her was the Rev. Mr. Davison ; she had 18 children, 15 sons, and 3 daughters; her husband had been dead 21 years; he died on the 15th day of January, 1791; at his death he was a Serjeant in the royal veteran battalion ; he had been wounded at the battle of Fontenoy ; he belonged to the 8th regi. men!, and was taken prisoner; she was with him at the battle; Duke William commanded at the time ; five of her sons were killed iu Keppel's battle, and two were swallowed up in an earth, quake, with Captain Bulteel, of Topsham ; and one of her sons, Richard Clark, was drum- major of the East Devon militia ; she had an unmarried daughter, aged 46 years, living with a grand- daughter aged 20— These were the particulars she gave of'herself. From being born in Scotland she had no settlement, and she was allowed three shillliugs per week from this parish ; but when the particulars of her life became known— principally through the exertions of Dr, Stewart, who merits the highest praise for his humanity— this once respectable old female received a weekly sum of five shillings; this was continued up to her death, which event occurred in January, 1817, being then in the 106th year of her age,— We learn that exertions are making to obtain the drum- major a pension, sufficient to maintain him with credit during the remainder of his life. We sincerely trust that these efforts will be crowned with success."— Plymouth Herald, On Sunday week an organ was used, for the first time, in the worship of one of the congregations of Presbyterian Dissenters— the Relief, at Roxburgh- place, Edinburgh ; the whole congregation joining cheerfully in the psalmody. The introduction of a " box of whistles," as the austere reformers of Scotland formerly called the organ, into the worship of their National Church, has been often, but unsuc- cessfully, agitated. We copy the following notice of this incident frcnt , the Edinburgh Literary Journal: — " Having learned that the Rev. Mr. Johnstone^ minister ,6f the Relief Chapel, in Roxburgh- place^ had l- ecei red the consent of his congregation to the admission of an organ, I resolved to witness the commencement of this bold innovation upon the severe limits affixed by ancient prejudice. In the anticipation of a crowd, I went to the chapel early on Sunday last, and had, consequently, an opportunity of observing the behaviour of the audience as they entered. Rarely have I been more gratified tluin I - then was, by the strong sense of propriety which they displayed. One brief glance directed to the gallery where the handsome organ was stationed was all; and each glided quietly to his respective scat, await- ing with calmness and decorum the sacred services of . the day.— At length, when the church was well filled by a most respectable congregation, the reverend clergyman entered. With great.'! g'Ood taste and judgment he selected the 100th psalm for the commencement of the service. I felt perfectly secure of the result. He finished reading— the organ struck the key- note — the congregation stood up— and at once the precentor and the instrument began' that gfave and noble tune, consecrated to the heart of every true son of Scotland, by a thousand recol lection^ of the times* when* it was sung by our brave and good ancestors in far other scenes and days— on wide waste heaths, or in the depth of lonely glens, accompanied by nature's own mighty music, the hoarse roar of the cataract, or the shrill' wail of the viewless mountain breeze.— The whole audience sung as one man, and as the organist had judiciously pitched the instrument low, it led, but di'd not over- power their voice. At the conclusion of the psalm I again looked round me ; and either my eyes deceived me, or every face was brightened with a purer glow — radiant with a heartfelt satisfaction, and" prepared to join with deeper and more earnest fervour in the sacred services of the place and day."
