NEWS has been receiyed at Gibraltar, by a ship which has arrived there in 94 days from Callao de Lima, that hostilities had commenced between the Colombians and Peruvians. Thelatter had attempted to blockade the port of Guayaquil with the Brun frigate; but Mr. Ellingrost, Commander of the Colombian Ma- 1 rine, raised the blockade with a single brig of war. As soon as the Peruvians learnt this, they sent the Prueba frigate to Guayaquil, whence it obliged Ellingrost to retire, and continued the blockade of that port. London. MONDAY. FEBRUARY 9. WINDSOR, Sunday.— His Majesty continues at the Castle without visitors, but is expected to entertain a distinguished party during the week. We understand it is not true that his Majesty intends shortly to quit Windsor for the metropolis. A Cabinet Council was held at half- past throe o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign- office, Downing- street. The Ministers remained in deliberation - till six o'clock. The King will hold a Court on Wednesday ' next at bis Palace at Windsor. It was stated this morning that Earl Grey had accepted the vacant Cabinet office of Lord Privy Seal, • which had been offered to the Earl of Westmoreland and declined. Mr. Bankes is understood to have resigned tl » c post of Secretary to the Board of Controul. Mr. Peel lias tendered his resignation of the representation of the University of Oxford. The Convo- cation is stated to have accepted it. It is understood that Mr. Bankes resigned, on Saturday, the office of Secretary to the Board of Com- missioners for the Affairs ot' India. The late Convocation of the University of Oxford decided that the concession of the Catholic claims was " against the best interests of the empire," by a majority of 1( 14 to 411. Mr. O'Connell, as representative for Clare, has published an address to the members of the House . of Commons, containing an elaborate legal argument on his right to enter that assembly, and to exercise all the privileges of a member, without previously taking those oaths of which the Catholics complain. Mr. O'Connell left Dublin yesterday ( Friday) in the most unostentatious way. Thousands of persons wfere congregated, at an early hour, in the thoroughfares leading from his residence in Merrion- square, but, in conformity with his expressed wish in the Association, on Thursday, he eluded their observance, and in his own carriage, accompanied by Mr. Dillon Bellew, and Mr. O'Gorman, contrived to avoid, by passing through the most bye- streets, the risk of any public procession. He arrived at the pier, Howth, at a few minutes after three o'clock, and entered the cabin of a Holyhead steamer, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Doyle, of St. Michael and John's; the Rev. Mr. Laffan and White, and Messrs D. Bellew, Mr. O'Gorman, and several other Catholic gentlemen. At about four o'clock the Holyhead steamer, with its patriotic freight, put to sea, with every prospect of reaching Holyhead by ten o'clock last night.— Dublin Paper of Saturday. The intentions of the Government afe to put down the Catholic Association in the first instance. The second measure in contemplation is said to be the dis- franchisement of the forty- shilling freeholders, and the fixing the elective franchise at 20/. The third is the no- mination of the Roman Catholic Bishops by the King, without any foreign interference,— without any authority or interference of the Pope. Such is stated to be the out- line of the measures contemplated. The Earl of Winchelsea has published an addresss to the Protestants of England, calling on them to stand boldly forward in defence of the Protestant Con- stitution anil teligion, and to let the voice of Protestantism be heard from one end of the kingdom to the other. A moderate anti- Catholic petition has been largely signed at Lyme. The following annonnccment appears in the Fermanagh Reporter:—" On the recent rumours that the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel are about to bring in a bill to emancipate the Irish Papisis, such has been the alarm here, that whole families of Protestants, nay, we might almost affirm parishes, have determined to emigrate to America." Letters from Terceira state that the four ves- sels, which lately left England with refugees, attempted to land at Terceira on the 16th ult. but were prevented by three British vessels of war. In this extremity, they put back to Brest, where they arrived on the 30th Ja- nuary. The English force consisted of a frigate and two smaller vessels, which sailed under sealed orders in De- cember. Its efforts have been directed as well to prevent Miguel's ships from capturing the emigrants; and one of tile frigates from the Tagus was chased by the Pallas for some hours. It is thought likely that the four vessels will soon leave Brest, to make a second attempt at land- ing. A large American vessel, the James Cropper, has taken- 600 of the refugees on board at Liverpool, and the captain is said to be determined to attempt to land them at any risk, under the protection of the American flag. General Saldanha, who was on board the Susannah, one of the brigs which attempted to land, has published a protest against the conduct of the English commander, Captain Walpole, of the Hanger. • A correspondence lias been published be- tween Captain Walpole, the commander of his Britannic Majesty's ship Ranger, off the island of Terceira, and General Saldanha, commandant of the Portuguese refu. gees from this country, whereby the latter was obliged to shape his course to France, after he had been refused permission to disembark at the place of his destination. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 25.— On the 3<) th, a ship of tile line was launched. The Sultan was present, but incognito. In his suite were the Seraskier, Prince Abdul Medschid and a Princess, four or five years of age, dressed like a boy in military costume, and carried by two black eunuchs. The Sultan wore trousers, mili- tary boots and spurs, and green gloves. Gibraltar Papers of the 20th ult. state that as the fever is now gone, the garrison is again about to receive provisions and vegetables from Tangier. The Roman Catholic Association, at its last meetings on Thursday, came to a resolution— the parting bequest of its great leader, on his departure for his seat in Parliament—" That the only event which shall dis- solve the Association, must be the giving of the King's consent to a bill for Unconditional Emancipation." The Clergy of the Church of England, in Shrewsbury, have formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of rescuing penitent females from their degraded course of life: unu these gentlemen have also entered into subscriptions to aid their design, which is > alike honourable to Christian ministers and to members of society at large. Mr. Price, of Drury- lane Theatre, it is said, ' has agreed to give Kean 1,600 guineas to perform 20 nights, when that gentleman has concluded his engage- ment at Covent- garden. Mademoiselle Sontag is re- engaged to ap- pear at our Italian Opera; but she will not return to fulfil such engagement till May next. ' Matthews and Yates commence a theatrical campaign in Paris after they close the Adelphi. Madame Pasta is said to have made a larger fortune than was ever realised in England by a pro- fessional singer, within an equal period. Her net re- ceipts last year arc stated to be nearly 17,000/. sterling. A curious subterraneous passage has been discovered on the north side of the terrace at Windsor Castle; it is cut through the solid rock for about sixty feet, and is, at the entrance ( thirty feet below the sur- face of the earth) six feet high and five feet wide. The games at chess played between the Lon- , don and Edinburgh Clubs are about to be published. The forty pirates who were captured in August last on the coast of Africa, after a fight of se- veral hours, by a British brig of war, and brought to 1 this country, underwent a final examination at Horse- monger- lane on Saturday. They were all identified, and r ah act of piracy was proved by Mr. Lister, the com- mander of a vessel which they had plundered and taken possession of. They were fully committed for trial. • HYDROPHOBIA. — Mr. Daudd, a builder, who resided at the corner of Upper Berkeley- street, Edgeware- road, died on Friday, in consequence of a bite he received from a dog about two months ago. At the time he re- ceived the wound he was endeavouring to separate two dogs which were fighting, He felt no inconvenience from it, and on Tuesday spent the evening with some of his friends, where tire subject accidentally arose, and Mr. . Daudd expressed himself to be under no apprehension. On the following morning lie was seized with convulsions ; other symptoms of hydrophobia succeeded, and he died of that dreadful disorder. PLYMOUTH, Feb. 5.— The arrivals of foreign wheat and flour at this port, since this day se'nnight, has been considerable, chiefly from France; and the markets « f the week were well supplied with wheat by the farmers.— The trade has been exceedingly dull for both English and foreign grain. BOROUGH, Feb. 9.— Our Hop market remains very firm, and good coloured pockets selling at rather improved prices, though we may state ( he currency the same. Sussex pockets 80s to Blis ; Kent Hits to 95s J Mid and East Kent 1VU> to I Ms; bags BUs to 120,. To the Rev. the Vice Chancellor of Oxford. ( Copy.) Whitehall, Feb. j4, 1829. MY DEAR SIR— I take the very first opportunity of . which I am at liberty to avail myself, to make a commu- nication to you, which is most distressing to my feelings. I have considered it to be my duty as one of the re- sponsible advisers of the King, humbly to signify to his Majesty the opinion which I have formed, in entire con currence with all my colleagues in the Government, that the period is arrived when his Majesty's . servants must take in their collective capacity some decisive line with regard to the state of Ireland, and to the various subjects affecting the tranquillity of thst country, which aie in- volved in what is called the Catholic Question. After maturely weighing the present position of affairs, and the prospects of the future— adverting to the opinions repeatedly expressed by majorities in the House of Com- mons— to the difficulties which must arise, in the present state of Ireland, from continued division in the Councils of his Majesty, and disunion between the two Houses of Parliament— it has appeared to his Majesty's Govern- ment that there is less of evil and less of danger, under the existing circumstances of th; country, in the attempt to make some satisfactory adjustment of the Catholic Question, than in any other course which we can suggest. In the offer of my advice to his Majesty, as one of his confidential and responsible servants, I have been com- pelled to exclude every consideration but that of the interests and necessities of the country. No sooner, however, had I fulfilled the obligations of my duty to his Majesty, than I began maturely to reflect on the relation in which I stand to the University of Oxford. I cannot doubt that the resistance which I have hitherto offered to the Claims of the Roman Catholics has been one of the main grounds upon which I have been entitled ( o the confidence and support of a very large body of my constituents; and although I discontinue that resistance solely from the firm belief that perseverance in it would be not only unavailing, but would be injurious to those interests which it is my especial duty to uphold, yet I consider myself bound to surrender to the University, without delay, the trust which they have confided to me. I take the liberty of requesting that you will communi- cate this letter to those leading Members of the University with whom you may think proper to confer, and that you will consult with them as to the period at which it will be most convenient to the University that my seat in Par. liament should be vacated. I will be guided by the suggestions with which you may favour me in this respect, in making my applica- tion to the Crown for some nominal appointment, which may vacate my seat. By this painful sacrifice— by the forfeiture of that high distinction, which I have prized much more than any other object of my ambition— I shall, at least, give a de cisive proof that I have not taken my present course with, out the most mature deliberation, and that I have not suffered myself to be influenced by any other motive than that of an overpowering sense of public duty. My present relation to the University will be termin- ated— but, believe me, that, to the latest hour of my ex- istence, I shall never be unmindful of the confidence with which I have been honoured— and of the kindness and indulgence which I have invariably experienced— and that I shall study to maintain, with unabated zeal, the privileges and interests of the University and of the Church of England, notwithstanding the dissolution of those ties which have more immediately bound me to their service. I have the honour to be, my dear Sir* with every senti- ment of respect and regard, Your most faithful servant, ROBERT PEEL. CORN- EXCHANGE, Monday, Feb. 9 Though the arrival of Wheat and Flour last week was far from being large, the Mealing Trade was on the whole dull on Friday, and having a tolerably good supply of Wheat this morn- ing from Essex and Kent, with a very slack demand, prices have certainly declined full 2s. per quarter gene- rally since this day se'nnight, with a very heavy sale. Barley is lower, at least Is. per quarter ; and in Beans and Peas there is a reduction of from Is. to 2s. per qr.

MONDAY, Feb. 9 The Earl of Shaftesbury brought down the King's Answer to their Lordships' Address, in which his Majesty was graciously pleased to thank them for their loyal and dutiful Address, and to assure them of his firmest reliance on their wisdom and fidelity. The Earl of Winchilsea gave notice, that he would on Friday next present the petition against the Catholic claims, lately agreed to by the gentry, clergy, and free- holders of the county of Kent. The Bishop of Exeter presented petitions from Exeter, Southdown, and a parish in Cornwall, against any fur- ther concessions to the Roman Catholics. The Right Rev. Prelate said he agreed with the petitioners that too much care could not be taken lest any infringement on the Constitution, either in Church or State, might be made by the admission of Human Catholics into political power. The Earl of Eldon presented similar petitions from Kingston- upon- Hull; Newry in Ireland; two from War- wickshire ; three from Denbighshire; four from Flint- shire and Carmarthen ; from tile Cathedral of Gloucester; from a Dissenting Congregation in Yorkshire; from Ripon, in the same county; from Wallingford; Newport Pagnell, in Bucks ; the Archdeaconry of Sudbury, signed by 110 clergymen ; from Northampton, and other places. The learned Lord said that the petitioner all expressed their belief that the admission of the Roman Catholics to political power was dangerous to the Protestant in- stitutions of the country. He merely then stated the sentiments of the petitioners, for he thought noble Lords, in presenting petitions, had better confine themselves to a statement of the prayer, with its reasons, of the petition, and not take up the lime of the House with an exposi- tion of their own opinions. Lord Holland, on presenting a petition from certain Protestant Dissenters in South Shields, praying for a re- peal of all laws imposing political- disabilities for religious tenets, said he would conform as much as possible with the advice given by the learned Lord ( Eldon), and in a few words confirm the statement of the petitioners, which statement— differing only in terms— involved the great principles of civil and religious liberty, which, he was happy to say, were daily making their way through all classes of society. The petitioners were all Protestants, and belonged chiefly to that body known by the name of Protestant Dissenters— to that loyal and enlightened body, in whose favour their Lordships had last Session per- formed an act of well- merited, though tardy, justice. All the petitions from that body breathed the same spirit of fervent gratitude for the benefits conferred on them- selves, and of fervent anxiety that those benefits— the full value of which they but lately could estimate— might be extended to their fellow subjects of all denominations. The Bishop of Bristol presented petitions from the pa- rishes of St. Michael, All Saints, St. Paul, and St James, Bristol, and Branstown, in Somersetshire, against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. The Bishop of Bath and Wells, on presenting similar petitions from the parishes of St. Paul and St. Michael, Bath, from Closeworth, Sutton, Bingham, and other places, observed that other petitions equally hostile to what was called Catholic Emancipation, would be pre- sented from almost every parish in his diocese. After the maturest investigation, his own opinions— concurrent with those of the petitioners— remained unchanged, for it was his honest conviction that it was not possible to give further political power to the Roman Catholics without endangering the Protestant institutions of the country. He hoped that his Majesty's Ministers would pay equal attention to the petitions of the Protestants of England with that they have already paid to tile petitions of the Catholics of Ireland—( Hear, hear)— the rather, as the former were now couched in the language of humility and supplication, free from violence and imperious dic- tation, ( Hear.) The Duke of Beaufort presented two similar petitions from parishes in Gloucestershire. The Bishop of Durham said he would take advantage of the occasion of presenting a similar petition from a parish in Durham, to state that his opinions on the policy of opposing the admission of the Roman Catholics to a full share of the benefits of the Constitution were un- changed ; and that he was convinced, after the maturest deliberation, that the Catholic religion, by its very nature, precluded its professors from affording a satisfactory secu- rity in a Protestant State. He was anxious to give this public expression of his deliberate opinions, for it had been lately insidiously rumoured that he had become an advocate of concession to the Roman Catholics. ( Hear.) The Duke of Richmond presented a similar petition from Lyndon, in Sussex. The noble Duke said, he would not make a long speech in expressing his opinion on the merits of the petition; for, notwithstanding the marvellous events of the last week, his opinions— perhaps they should now be called prejudices, ( hear)— against Ca- tholic Emancipation, were and would continue unaltered. The Duke of Newcastle presented a similar petition from the town of Nottingham. He wished to make a few observations upon a declaration made by the Noble Duke at the head of the Government a few nights since, with reference to the feeling of the people of England in relation to the Catholic claims. The noble Duke then stated that the majority of the people in this country were favourable to the repeal of the penal laws against the Roman Catholics— that is, were in favour of the con- templated measure of the noble Duke. He ( the Duke of Newcastle), after minute inquiry, had arrived at the very opposite opinion, and was convinced that the people of England were not only decidedly hostile to Catholic Emancipation, but also decidedly favourable to Pro- testant Ascendancy. Earl Howe presented petitions from Ashburn, Great. Linford, and several other places and parishes in Buck- inghamshire, against further concessions to the Roman Catholics. A noble Lord presented a petition from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of a place in Devonshire, in favour of Catholic Emancipation. Lord Bexley presented a petition from the borough of Harwich, against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics ; and observed, that he could not lay a petition upon this subject, coming from his former constituents, on their Lordships' table, without saying that lie still adhered to his old opinions, and those of his old consti- tuents, with regard to the Catholic Question. No alte- ration had taken place in his sentiments; and, surrounded by an atmosphere charged with political conversions, he remained wholly unaffected. Lord Lorton presented petitions from the Bishop and Clergy of Killala, and from the inhabitants of Killala and Castle Comer in the county of Sligo, against further concessions to the Roman Catholics. The Earl of Shaftesbury presented a petition from the corporation of Oxford against the Roman Catholic claims. Lord Holland, alter adverting to the state of our rela- tions with Portugal, asked if it was intended to lay any papers respecting our relations with Portugal before the House, and to call for any opinion from it ? The Earl of Aberdeen— It is certainly not the intention of his Majesty's Government to lay any papers at present before this House, with respect to our relations with Por- tugal. His Majesty has already informed this House that he is engaged in a negociation with the head of the House of Braganza, with the view of terminating the misfortunes existing in Portugal; and this being the case, it is impossible my noble friend can expect that, during this negociation, his Majesty's Ministers can lay any papers on the table, to shew in what stale it 15, or call for any opinion of this House. The Lord Chancellor stated his intention, on an early clay, to submit a measure respecting the Court of Chan- cery for the consideration of their Lordships.— Adj. TUESDAY, Feb. 1()— A great number of petitions were presented this evening against the Catholic claims, by the Duke of Rutland, the Bishop of Durham, and other Peers. The Earl of Longford spoke at great length against concessions to the Catholics. The Duke of Wellington replied to the noble Lord, and said that when his noble relative ( Longford) blamed Ministers for the advice which they had given the King, he ought to say whether lie could propose any oilier remedy for the great evils under which Ireland suffered. He ( the Duke of Wellington) had been blamed for his concealment; be begged to say that when he first felt it TO be his duty ( in July or August last) to recommend to his Sovereign to desire his Parliament to take into their consideration the laws affecting the Roman Catholics, lie felt it was also his duty TO be silent till he had obtained his Majesty's sanction. But that sanction or consent he did hot obtain until so few days before Parliament met, that it Would be impossible for him to sooner announce his intention, and he felt, if he had acted otherwise than he did, his conduct would have been blameable. ( Hear.) The Archbishop of Canterbury presented several peti- tions against the Catholic claims, and contradicted, in strong terms, a report that he had. changed his opinion on the Catholic question. The Bishop of London presented a similar petition from the Clergy of Chester, and took the opportunity of stating that hn opinion on the subject was not changed. The Marquis of Lansdowne presented two petitions in favour of the Catholic claims; and Viscount Clifden pre- sented three similar petitions. Lord Farnham presented five petitions from Ireland against the claims— Adjourned to Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, Feb. 9 Sir J. Mackintosh, after advert- ing to our relations with Portugal, gave notice, that it was his intention, on Thursday, the 19th instant, to move for copies or extracts of the various dispatches or communications concerning the relations which sub- sisted between our Government and that of her Majesty Donna Maria II., Queen of Portugal and Algarve. Several petitions from Ireland, and two from England, against the Catholic claims, having been presented, Sir J. Mackintosh Observed, it was highly probable that had these petitioners been previously made acquainted with the declaration of his Majesty's Government, and this measure of emancipation was absolutely necessary for the safety and tranquillity of the state, and that it would be accompanied by satisfactory securities for the maintenance of the Protestant establishments and insti- tutions of the country, they would never have sent for- ward such petitions to that House. Mr. Maxwell trusted that numbers of petitions would pour in against this measure. He could state advisedly, that such a manifestation of Protestant feeling would be made in both countries as to astonish those members of his Majesty's Government who had so suddenly aban- doned their principles. ( Hear.) The Marquis of Chandos said, that as Mr, Peel had given notice that he meant to introduce a bill for the relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects, he ( the Mar- quis of Chandos now gave notice, that lie meant to move for a Call of the House, before the contemplated measure was brought forward—( hear, hear)— in order that every representative of the people in Parliament might have an opportunity of stating his opinion, whether the Consti- tution was, or was not, to be maintained. ( Hear, heat.) Col. Sibthorpe believed that if sufficient time were allowed, petitions against the proposed measure would flow in from every quarter. Mr. Peel, in presenting a petition against the Catholic claims from the University of Oxford, said he was aware of the delicacy which had induced the University to do him the honour of placing their petition in his hands. He willingly did justice to their honourable motives ; and lie thought lie might fairly claim that in the expres- sion of the conviction to which he had come, and 111 the conduct which he was about to pursue, he was urged to the adoption of it by cogent reasons, and by a considera- tion of the whole condition of Ireland and of this country. ( Hear.) In resolving 011 his present course of conduct, he had foreseen the opposition lie would have to encoun- ter, and the reproaches with which he should be visited. The situation in which a sense of duty had induced him to place himself was a painful one. " But, ( said Mr. Peel, with much animation), when the lion. Member for Cavan ( Mr. Maxwell) speaks of the sacrifices of the emoluments and powers of office— Good God ! Sir, I can- not, I know not how to enter into argument with any man who puts the sacrifices and emoluments of office in competition with those other Sacrifices which I have made, in order, I am told, forsooth, that I may retain the emo- luments of office. ( Cheers.) Having determined upon the course which I deemed it right to pursue in the pre- sent state of Ireland— responsible for the tranquillity and peace of that country— nothing could shake me in the resolution I had formed, not to meet Parliament again charged with such a responsibility as a member 0: a divided Cabinet, and with a minority in this House. After the transactions of the last summer iti Ireland, I had come to this determination; and whatever may be the opinions of those now who are opposed to the proposed. measure, I am satisfied the time will come when it will be admitted generally that in recommending it, his Ma- jesty's Ministers will not be thought to have betrayed their duty to their country or to the interests and security of its Protestant establishments. ( Cheers.) I should, indeed, be well deserving of reproaches— greater and stronger than any that have now been directed against me— if I had made a sacrifice to a short and fleeting po- pularity at the expence of what I conscientiously deemed to be my duty to the true and paramount interests of the country." ( Loud and continued cheers.) Several other petitions against the Catholic claims were presented ; amongst them was one most numerously signed by the inhabitants of Bristol. Mr. buncombe took this opportunity of saying, that though ethers had seen reason to abandon their principles, he saw no reason to abandon his. If he were to act in opposition to the course which he had hitherto conscien- ciously pursued, he thought that he should be acting dis- gracefully and dishonourably. ( Hear, hear.) Sir Joseph Yorke must say, that he always thought that he was doing his duty in voting against the Catho- lics, but he could no longer hold that opinion when his Right Hon. friend, Mr. Peel, told him that it was wrong, and proved his sincerity by sacrificing all that was more dear to him. ( Cheers.) Good God ! Was such conduct to be called disgraceful and dishonourable ? ( Cries of no, no.) For his own part, so help him God, as God was his judge, he would not have thought of al- tering his opinion if the Ministers of the Crown, who had the best means of information had not thought. it neces- sary to give way. Lord Castlereagh should think himself unworthy occu- pying the situation in which his constituents had placed him, if he did not stand forward and say that the Protes- tant population of Ireland were by no means so opposed to the measure in contemplation as the Hon. Members who had spoken that evening would make them believe. He did hope and believe that there was more Christian chanty among them. Other petitions were then presented against the Catholic claims, and praying that the Catholic Association he put down. Mr. Davenport called the attention of the House to an occurrence which had taken place at Terceira, and in which the honour of our navy was concerned. Mr. Feel observed that no dispatch relative to the affair at Terceira had yet been received front Capt- Wal- pole; any discussion upon the subject would therefore be premature— Adjourned. TUESDAY, Feb. 10.— Numerous petitions were pre- sented against the Catholic claims, and a few in their favour. Mr. Feel brought forward his motion for the suppres- sion of dangerous societies in Ireland. He commenced with adverting to the acknowledged' licentiousness of the Irish Catholic Association, and observed that its exist- ence was totally incompatible with all regular government. I shall attempt ( said he) to convince those hon. friends with whom I have uniformly concurred as to the dangers of concession to the Catholics, that I have not altered my opinions without reason. I shall give details which I ( lave collected respecting the present state of society to the House, with a view to the object now before it; but I shall entreat those honourable friends to whom I have alluded, calmly and deliberately to consider, not merely whether it is or is not now expedient to add to the powers which the Government at present possesses, but whether it is possible to go on, in the present state of things, in the same manner we have hitherto done ? I shall call upon them calmly and dis- passionately to consider what is the prospect before us, if the Government continues, as it has hitherto been, merely passive, while the Houses of Lords and of Commons have been every year, upon this great question, coming to different and opposite conclusions. ( Hear.) I shall call upon them to consider these details, and then say, what ever may come to pass, whether we can continue to go on dividing upon this question— we, on the one side, just strong enough to prevent all concession— the other side just strong enough to resist successfully all attempts at the imposition of further restraint or controul. Di- viding, I say, in one year with a majority of six against the claims of the Catholics— dividing on the following year with a majority of four in their favour— I ask any hon. Member to consider the details I am about to lay before the House, and then say whether the course which has for more than sixteen years been pursued on this question, and which has during that time been taken and justified by all public men of all parties, can be any longer pursued with even a chance of maintaining the public tranquillity ? ( Hear, hear.) I say was cannot go on any longer. One side or the other must give way. ( Hear.) Some one must make sacrifices. ( Hear.) I contend that it is in the power of a public man to main- tain his opinions, and Yet to feel the necessity of making such a sacrifice ; and I never spoke with more sincerity in my life, nor with a more perfect conviction of the truth of what I assert, that when I say that I firmly believe, if we do not give way, and consent to some compromise upon the subject, we shall be unable to establish any thing like tranquillity in Ireland— we shall be unable to give any adequate security to property— and above all, I firmly believe we shall be unable permanently to secure the interests of the Protestant Establishment. ( Hear.) It is because I conscientiously believe, that if we go on for the future as we have gone on during the past, with our opposing interests so nicely balanced that neither party can be said to claim the advantage, a gigantic power will ultimately rise out of our divisions superior to both. It is because I believe this, that I have come to the conclu- that we cannot consult the safety of the Protestant Esta- blishment, or maintain its interests, without that con- cession and that sacrifice which we now recommend. I do not abandon my opinions. It is not necessary that I should do so ; nor do I say that the balance which has been hitherto so nicely preserved cannot be still main- tained ; hut I say that success in our perseverance may ultimately place us in such a situation as to prove most prejudicial to ourselves. We cannot deny the stubborn fact, that in carrying on the Government of the country it has been found impossible to exclude those who are declared friends of the Catholics. It cannot be forgotten, that notwithstanding the strenuous opposition of his late Majesty, when the pressure of public affairs rendered it necessary, men were, in the year Iii04, called to the Councils of the Sovereign, and placed at the head of affairs, whose opinions were known and openly avowed to be at variance with those of the Sovereign and their colleagues. In all the times of danger and of difficulty which have pressed upon the country tor the last twenty- five years, it repeatedly became necessary to call in the aid of those who were friends of the Catholics Mr. Pitt and Lord Melville, and Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning, had all been called to the conduct of pub- lic affairs, although their opinions were known to be fa- vourable to the Catholic Claims. I say, therefore, that the very circumstance that, during the whole of that pe- riod, men were called to hold high and important situa- tions in the Government, although their opinions were known upon this subject, proves beyond question that we cannot hope to form any Government pledged to eternal hostility against the Catholics, if that hostility was prac- ticable; and that I am convinced no Government of that kind could be formed which would command the confi- dence of the people. ( Hear, hear.) If that be then the position of our affairs, and I think it may be fairly ad- mitted that it is so, I would entreat my Honourable Friends who have hitherto voted with me on this ques- tion to pause, and with unprejudiced minds to listen to those details which it is my duty to lay before them. — I would intreat them, between the interval which must necessarily occur in passing this Bill through its forms, and before the introduction of that measure of relief to the Catholics which his Majesty's Government propose, maturely to consider the details of the state of society in Ireland, and then to say whether that Country should any longer be governed by divided Councils, or whether something ought not to be done to terminate this conflict between the two religious sects into which the population is divided. ( Hear.) I am not going to say any thing which ought to create alarm— I am not going to say that if the Government had thought fit to controul or to coerce, it could not have done so, and could not continue to do so— I am not going to use any arguments with reference to a state of war, or to use any language which may in the slightest degree be construed into intimidation. It is because we are at peace—( Hear, hear)— it is because we are at peace, that I say we ought not to lose the opportunity of set- ting this question at rest—( Hear, hear)— it is because we have not for the last three hundred years been in such a state of tranquillity— it is because for 30!) years our rela- tions of amity have not been knit so closely with all the Powers of the world as they are at this moment—( Hear) — it is because the Protestant spirit of Ireland has shewn a determination to resist and to sacrifice every thing in a struggle rather than their honour—( Hear, hear)— it is because we are happily placed in such a situation as to be able to take any course which may to us appear fittest and best, that I ask you now to give the subject the most mature consideration, and entreat and implore yon not to throw away the opportunity thus happily afforded you. ( Hear, hear.) ( Mr. Peel here read a variety of documents, consisting of letters received by Government from Ireland, describing the disturbed state of the country during the months of September, October, November, and December last; also a copy of the Marquis of Anglesey's Proclamation, which had a great effect in repressing these disturbances. Two letters from Major- General Thornton, describing the disturbances occasioned by Mr. Lawless's political tour to the north of Ireland, appeared to make a great impression on the House.) After having been obliged ( said Mr. Peel) day after day. for four months, to read over documents and reports, of which what I have read to the House are but incom- plete specimens, is it to be made matter of charge and blame against me, that rather than leave these things to go on, I should attempt a safe adjustment of the causes and the dissensions from which this calamitous condition of affairs has sprung? In making this attempt to vindi- cate the authority of the law in Ireland, I am principally actuated by a desire to see the condition of the Protes- tants of Ireland altered and secured— to see Protestant interests and Protestant establishments no longer exposed to the dangers which menace them. After such descriptions as those that I have read, and after such a detail of facts as, in a case of this importance, I felt it to be my duty to submit, it was manifest that the only alternatives left, were either a recourse to harsh measures, which in many instances have been applied as a remedy, but which, if unaccompanied by any effort at the reconciliation of parties, would be ineffectual in the present instance; or to aim at that reconciliation which, attended with the repression of societies calculated to keep alive excitement and ill- will, may, under all the circum- stances, be most applicable to existing evils. The only task that now remains for me to perform is, to state the nature of the measure which I mean to pro- pose for the suppression of the Catholic Association ( Hear, hear.)— I am aware, from the experience we have alrendy had, that to suppress such an Association by an Act of legislative authority is a proceeding of extreme difficulty; and in this opinion I am sure the House will concur, that no attempt should at all be made to suppress it, unless that attempt be effectual—( Hear.) It is better by far to do nothing at all than to do that which is likely to be evaded and prove ineffectual. ( Hear, hear.) The measure now recommended to the adoption of the House, proposes to place all assemblies for political pur- poses in Ireland under the cognizance of the Lord Lieu- tenant. It leaves to his discretion the power of sanction- ing all assemblies, and the approving of the purposes for which they are convened. It further entrusts to his dis- cretion the power of suppressing all such assemblies, of which notice of meeting has been given, that he may deem dangerous to the public safety or inconsistent with the due administration of the Government; and . that two Magistrates, for the purpose of enforcing his autho- rity, may be empowered by the Lord Lieutenant to dis- perse any assembly which his Excellency may disapprove. It is further intended, by the proposed measure, to pro- hibit the receipt of rent, money, or any sums under whatever name it may be denominated, to be placed at the disposal of individuals without the sanction of the Lord Lieutenant. These are the heads 01" the proposed enactment, and, as may be supposed, the penalties are moderate. As this is an Act investing the Executive Government with extraordinary powers, it may be scarcely necessary to add, that the Act is not one of a permanent nature. ( Cheers.) I propose to limit it to one year, and to the end of the next Session of Parlia- ment. ( Hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for Suppressing Dangerous Associations or Assemblies in Ireland. ( Loud cheers from both sides of the House.) Lord Althorp expressed his satisfaction at the proposed measure; and Mr. Villiers Stuart congratulated the House on the wise policy now adopted by Ministers. Mr. Stanley consented to the motion, with the strict understanding, that the measure of conciliation was to follow close upon the heels of the measure of coercion. Sir E. Knatchbull was at a loss to account for the manner in which the Right Hon. Gentleman last sum- mer allowed himself to be cheered through all England for his attachment to the Protestant cause, although at the very moment he knew that he was about to take his present course. Mr. Feel declared upon his honour that at the time alluded to, although he had made up his mind with respect to the course which he should pursue, he had every reason to cherish a sanguine hope that he should be allowed to take that course unfettered by office. A circumstance had, however, occurred, which left him no alternative on the subject, although the time had not yet come at which he could fully explain it. Mr. W. O'Brien said that Government, by taking the measure of Emancipation into their own hands, had de- livered Ireland front the power of a faction which was already revelling in the anticipated triumph of a civil war. Lord Milton said that unless the present measure were followed by unqualified emancipation, he could not give his approbation to it. Mr. Bankes wished to ask why Ministers had so long endured the danger and annoyance of that Association ? It was said, that the Cabinet had been divided upon the Catholic Question, but it was clear that a Bill upon the subject had been passed in 1825— a period at which the present Chancellor of the Exchequer was Secretary for Ireland. They had at that time been told of , the horrors and aggressions caused by the Catholic Association. Why, then, was not that Bill earned into effect ? Was it that the Law Officers of the Crown in Ireland felt them- selves unable to carry its provisions into execution, or was it that they had basely and scandalously connived at the existence of the institution ? His Majesty's Ministers had never inquired into the fact, as to whether the powers given by that Bill were sufficient to remedy the evil: they never asked for fresh power, but allowed Session after Session to pass, until the Catholic Association had grown to its present influence and power, and had committed acts totally subversive of order and good government in Ireland. Nay, even the last Session of Parliament was allowed to separate without any measure of redress being proposed. How, he asked, could his Right Hon. friend opposite get out of that scrape ? How could he defend the exist- ence up to this period of such a body, and now call upon the Legislature to put it down? The evil now com- plained of was as great three or four years ago as it was at present. With regard to the motion itself, he fully concurred in it, as well as in the manner in which it was introduced. He assured the House that it gave him con. siderable pain to be obliged to differ from those Hon. friends with whom he was in the habit of acting gene- rally ; he was always sorry when any thing happened calculated to shake the opinion he entertained of public men. Public men were public property, and it grieved him when the characters of such men were lowered in public estimation; and nothing, in his opinion, could more lower them than those sudden conversions from fixed principles, without any adequate cause. The Martinis of Tavistock rejoiced at the determina- tion to which the Government had come with respect to the Catholic Question; and he had no hesitation in say- ing, that, in this sentiment, he was joined by all the most enlightened part of the community. Mr. Doherty ( the Solicitor- General for Ireland) de- fended Government, in regard to its conduct in the affairs of Ireland. Mr. Hushisson also vindicated the conduct of Govern- ment from the aspersions cast upon it by the Hon. Mem- ber for Dorsetshire. Lord Palmerston confessed that it would be much more agreeable to him, if the great measure of Catholic emancipation had not been coupled with this measure to put down the Catholic Association. The existence of that Association depended on the existence of a national grievance; and from the moment in which that grievance was redressed, it would have commenced its death, and would have ceased to require the hand of the Legislature to accelerate its dissolution, ( Hear, hear.) Mr. Peel— I should have remained altogether silent, if it had not been for the personal appeal made to me by him whom I shall still call my honourable friend, the Hon. Member for Dorset ( Mr. Bankes). The object of that appeal was to ascertain from me how it happened that the Catholic Association had acquired such energy, power, and influence ? In the latter part of his speech he also threw out some taunts and reproaches, which he may hereafter disclaim, and which I feel are perfectly unfounded. I will answer the question why the Catholic Association was not suppressed ? It arose in a great degree from the disunion and division on the subject of the claims in the King's Cabinet. ( Hear, hear.) It was impassible to procure a measure effectually to suppress that body white the Government remained neutral on the Catholic Question, without even a determi- nation being evinced to take the subject into consideration. Of all the taunts and reproaches thrown out against me by my hon. friend ( Mr. Bankes), the most severe is con- veyed in the question, " why have I so long delayed the intimation of my opinion?" Let it be recollected, how- ever, that in August last I did say that the worst tiling that could happen for the country was a continuance of the disunion in his Majesty's Councils. ( Hear.) I ear- nestly prayed at that period that such a condition might soon be avoided. The reproaches of the hon. gentleman were cast on all who were engaged in the Councils of the King, as if they were concerned in some conspiracy to augment the power of the Catholic Association, in order that there might exist the better ground for conceding the claims— as if the King's Ministers had taken upon them- selves to place Ireland on the verge of a civil war, in order that concession might be inevitable. Really such a proposition appears to me so absurd and extravagant as to require no answer beyond what itself supplies. If I were to state all the reasons why that statute was not enforced, or why, if inadequate to the end, it was not amended, it would be necessary for me to enter into a detail of all the public events in Ireland during the last four years. And, after all, my answer would resolve itself into this— that the continued disunion in the King's Councils was the cause why the Act of 1825 was not carried into vigorous execution. When the Act to suppress the Association was passed in 1825, how did the House follow it up? By proceeding forthwith to the consideration of the Ro- man Catholic Claims; and in that very Session, and before the Association Suppression Act left the House, a Bill was introduced, which it subsequently passed into a law, to admit Roman Catholics to the full privileges of the Constitution. (. Hear ) Did not that tend to paralyse the measure for the suppression of the Association? ( Hear, hear.) The Bill, indeed, was lost in the Lords, but the excitement continued; and this House, as it were, issued a solemn declaration, that the Act of 1825 was not an effectual remedy ; for when it consented to pass the law for the suppression of the Association, it recorded its opinion by passing another measure for granting the claims, and thereby admitted that the Act of 1825 was not an effectual remedy. The consciousness and conviction, that in promoting these measures I am contributing to the peace and secu- rity of the empire, alone support me under the taunts and reproaches of my friends. Perhaps I should not have said one word in answer, but that my hon. friend ( Mr. Bankes) is the last man from whom I can bear them. His attack in this instance is more to be admired for its boldness than for its justice; for my hon. friend happens to be the man who, in the course of one Session of Parliament, changed his opinions on this very subject. When, then, he asks me, how is it possible for me to eon- sent to the consideration of this question— how circum- stances can have altered my opinion, and how I can now contemplate a satisfactory adjustment— I beg leave in turn to ask him how he reconciles his present with the following Resolution, in favour of which I find his name enrolled in the votes?—" that this House will, early in the next Session of Parliament, take into its most serious consineration the state of the laws affecting his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects in Great Britain and Ireland—( Hear, hear)— with a view to such a final and conciliatory adjustment as may be conducive to the peace and strength of the United Kingdom, to the stability of the Protestant Establishment, and to the general satisfaction and concord of all classes of his Ma- jesty's subjects." ( Hear, hear.) What were the reasons which induced my Hon. friend to vote for that resolu- tion I find in his own speech—" He hoped it would never be a point of honour with any Government to persevere in measures after they were convinced of their impro- priety." ( Cheers.) These are the very words of my Honourable friend himself. Mr. Bankes— I hope the House will indulge me with a few words, after what has just fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman. I am perfectly aware of the circum- stances under which I became a party to the vote moved by Mr. Canning at the end of the Session of 1812. I was certainly extremely desirous of seeing the question settled, and I hoped that it might be arranged to the satisfaction both of Protestants and Catholics; but the moment it was communicated to me that nothing short of concession of seats in both Houses would satisfy the Catholics, I strenuously opposed the proposition I had advocated, in the hope of conciliation. My opinion is, that the moment you admit Roman Catholics to political power, there is an end of the Protestant Establishment in Ireland. Mr. Peel— I appeal to the House whether I made the first attack on my Honourable friend, and whether I have not a right to quote his own opinions in my vindi- cation. ( Hear.) I think with him, that the question ought to be settled and that it must be settled— we differ as to the nature and degree of the power to be conferred. The question was then put, and leave was given to bring in a Bill " for the Suppression of dangerous Asso- ciations or Assemblies in Ireland." Mr. Peel brought in the Bill, and it was read a 1st time. The 2d reading was fixed for Thursday Adj. London. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday after- noon, at the Foreign Office, Downing- street. Above one hundred petitions against the Roman Catholic Claims were presented on Monday to the House of Lords, and only six for them. In the House of Commons, the petitions against the Roman Catholic Claims were about seventy in number,. and in the list of the votes and proceedings of the . House of Commons we can only find one in favour of the claims Courier. The proceedings in both Houses last night, so far as the Catholic Question is concerned, are of great interest. It now appears that the Bishops have been un- justly accused of having abandoned their former senti- ments. In presenting petitions against the Catholic Claims, the Bishops of Exeter, Bath and Wells, and Durham, declared their opinions to be unchanged. The Bishop of Durham is one of the Prelates who, according to report had become an advocate for concession Courier, Feb. 10. The Popery Question will, it is understood, when brought forward by the Government, receive the support of only three of the Bishops. Those named are the Bishop of Norwich, the Bishop of Winchester, and the Bishop of Chester Morning Herald. Mr. O'Gorman was present at the discussions last night, taking his seat under the gallery. Count Mutasceinitz ( understood to be charged with a special mission from the Emperor of Russia to this Government) had a long conference with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in Downing- street. It is said that the King lias given Mr. Riley, the surgeon at Windsor, 1,000/., and 2,000/. per annum, to be always at his call in case of illness. Of course, all Mr. R. ' s other practice is discontinued. The French Charged ' Affaires was engaged for a considerable time yesterday with the Duke of Wel- lington and the Earl of Aberdeen. A deputation of the tobacco merchants of Liverpool, headed by Mr. Huskisson, as one of the Members of that town, attended at the Treasury on Monday, and had a long conference with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is reported that the Government are about to take the Excise duty off candles and soap, and lay an additional tax upon foreign tallow. Such a measure would be of great service to the English graziers, and be very acceptable to chandlers and soap- boilers. Among the reports which are prevalent, is one that Ministers mean to avail themselves of the large increase in the last year's revenue to bring about the long- expected reduction in the Assessed Taxes, at least of those on houses and windows. The French papers of Saturday contain a translaton of our Sovereign's Speech at the opening of Parliament, accompanied by many expressions of joy and triumph at the intimation that the Catholics were to be Emancipated. The Gazette de France of Sunday is \ in raptures on the subject, and " congratulates the Duke ' of Wellington on his having determined to attach his name to so legitimate a reparation— one which insures the union and repose of England." Extract from a Meteorological Journal for Jan. 1329. kept at the Royal Academy, Gosport. " This month has been generally dry, cold, cloudy, and windy, and from the 14th to the 35th it was sea- sonable frosty weather, accompanied with light showers of snow on the 18th, 21st, 23d, 24th, and 25th. In the nights of the 19th, 21st, 22( 1, and 24th, the thermometer receded to 24 degrees, and in the night of the 23d to 21 degrees. The icy efflorescences were pretty thick on the inside of the glass windows, in the mornings of the 20th, 22d, 24tli, and 25th. On the 23d the thermometer only rose to 31 degrees, in the clear and unobstructed sun- shine, being only 3 degrees higher than the maximum temperature of the external air in the shade; and in the afternoon water froze in rooms were there where fires; this, therefore, was a very cold frosty day, with a pierc- ing gale from the N. E., and during the " 24 hours, water in an exposed tank froze 1 j inch deep. On the same day in London the thermometer was 6 degrees lower than it was here, and water froze rapidly at noon in apartments with fires. " At noon of the 25th three currents of wind prevailed, the lower one from the E., the middle one from the N. W., and the upper one1- from the S. The inoscula- tion of these winds brought down an inch in depth of snow, by 9 p. m., which was immediately succeeded by heavy rain, a sudden depression of the mercury in the barometers, and a hard shifting gale throughout the night, which broke up the frosty weather. " A difference of 12^ degrees in the mean temperature of the atmosphere, of any two consecutive months in the year, is very great, which was the case between the pre- sent month and last December: and as it occured in the coldest season of the year, and with but little difference in the sun's declination, very few persons, however cautious they may have been against the effects of such a change, have escaped what is termed a common cold. " The mean temperature of the month is 3. 95. de- grees colder than the mean of January for the last thir- teen years." Mr. O'Connel arrived yesterday morning at Batt's Hotel, in Dover- street, Piccadilly, in a travelling carriage and four. He was attended by the Rev. Mr. Doyle, as his chaplain, Mr. O'Gorman, Mr. O'Gorman Mahon, Mr. D. Bellew, and Mr. Murphy. The cries of " No Popery," " Down with O'Connell," were very general along the road; in many places, particularly at Coventry, a spirit of resistance was quite manifest; amongst the persons who surrounded the carriage, se- veral were guilty of such misconduct that Mr, O'Connell's party felt it necessary to shew that they were prepared to reply to any assault made upon them in the most formi- dable manner possible— namely, by firing upon their as- sailants. Mr. O'Connell has not yet determined on what course he shall take under existing circumstances. DUBLIN, Feb. 8.— The debate on the Address in both Houses, and the avowal of the sentiments of Mr. Peel and the Duke of Wellington, have increased the confidence of the Catholics, first inspired by the King's Speech, in the sincerity of the intentions of Government. The Association are likely to comply with the entreaty of their best friends in Parliament by adjourning for six months. The lending members are to meet to- morrow, for the purpose of arranging what course is to be pursued on Tuesday ; and I know the immediate adjournment will be strongly recommended by influential members. Mr. O'Connell's absence will create some difficulty in the passing of an immediate resolution to that effect, as, no doubt, a great number will not come to any resolution till his opinion be first ascertained. It is to be feared that he will not consent to its extinction, till it be put down by force, or unqualified Emancipation be granted. The proposition for its extinction during the Session, not to impede Ministers in their good purpose, will, however, be made; and should it heedlessly opposed, so as to frustrate so desirable an object, they will not deserve the favour about to be extended to them. The Brunswick party do not conceal their indignation. They openly avow their disappointment. Copies of the King's Speech reached Dublin on Saturday morning, and nothing could exceed the intense interest and vague speculation which it excited throughout that city. DUBLIN, Feb. 8.— Protestant Agitation.— The Irish Protestants have determined to resist to the last, by all the means which the Constitution affords them, the new Bill meant to be introduced with respect to the Ro- man Catholics. They have already resolved on the adoption of the three following steps:— 1. A general meeting of the Brunswick Constitutional Club of Ireland to be held in Dublin, to which all the members of all the Branch Clubs throughout the whole country shall be summoned to give their attendance. 2. An aggregate meeting of the Orangemen of Ireland, to be also held cither in Dublin or some central town of Ulster. For this purpose a requisition to convene an ag- gregate meeting was transmitted last night to the Deputy Grand Master, the Earl of Enniskillen. 3. An Aggregate Meeting of the Protestants of the City of Dublin, convened by the Lord Mayor and High Sheriff's. All these to take into consideration what the Protestants shall do in the present crisis. The two former meetings to be held as speedily as possible. The latter to take place at the Rotunda, on Friday next. The following additional measures are in contempla- tion. You will see that they are rather in imitation of the measures of the Roman Catholic party; but as they have, in their instance, tended so much to the general organization of their body, their adoption is considered advisable:— 1. County Meetings throughout the whole country, 2. District Meetings in the different counties. 3. Simultaneous Parochial Meetings throughout the North. IN compliance with a requisition most nu- merously and respectably signed, the Mayor of Bristol ( John Cave, Esq.) has convened a meeting at the Guild- hall, for Thursday next, at noon precisely, " for the pur- pose of petitioning Parliament against any further con- cessions of political power to Roman Catholics within these realms." The Bishops of Salisbury and Bristol were among the audience which thronged the Temple Church : on Sunday to hear Mr. Benson, who produced an eloquent discourse against Unitarianism. Colonel and Mrs. Gore Langton have arrived at the Polygon, Southampton, from their seat, Newton Park, Bath. By the death of Lieutenant- General Sir I Thomas Bradford, the Chief Military Command at Bom- bay, and the Colonelcy of the 94th Regimeet of Foot, have become vacant. In the late contest for the Presidency of the United States, between Mr. Adams and General Jackson, the General beat his opponent by a majority of 119.394.

It was brought about by the troops which had arrived from the Banda Oriental; and its object was to re- instate the old Governor, Rivadavia. The revolution was accomplished quietly, and without bloodshed.— Buenos Ayres surrendered to the old party on the even- ing of the 1st of December. PREROGATIVE COURT, Feb. 9.— Cohin v. Eraser and others The arguments in this case being closed this day, Sir John Nicholl fixed the 25th instant for giving his sentence. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 9.— De Crespigny, Bart. y. Wellesley The arguments of coun- sel being concluded in this case, which was an action brought by Sir Wm. De Crespigny against Mr. Long Wellesley for a libel, the Chief Justice, after taking a review of the facts, pronounced the judgment of the Court for the plaintiff. YORK, Feb. 9.— Martin arrived here this morning, soon after three o'clock. The witnesses against him having been examined at the Hall of Pleas, he confessed the crime, stating as his reason that he had dreamed some archers were endeavouring to destroy the Minster, and therefore he thought he had better set it on fire. The result of the examination was his commit- tal to the City Jail for trial at the next assizes. APPREHENSION OF MARTIN.— A letter from York, dated Saturday, Feb. 7, communicates the follow- ing intelligence of the apprehension of Jonathan Martin : —" Martin, the maniac, was yesterday apprehended near his native town, Hexham, Northumberland, and lodged in the house of correction there. On the intelligence arriving in this city, a party proceeded to Hexham, in a post chaise, in order to convey him hither." On Friday week Martin left York, saying he was going to reside at Leeds. On Saturday he again arrived at York, and spent the day at the shoemaker's, in whose house he had before resided. On Sunday he went out, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, and did not again re- turn. Martin was formerly a sailor, but lived in Lin- coln a few years as a journeyman tanner, and is well known among the religious sects as an enthusiast of ex- traordinary pretensions. A pamphlet which he published of his life is full of visionary matter; and he calls him- self brother to the great painter of the Deluge, & c. He has another brother, who lectures in a strange manner on philosophy, & c., thinking that he has the Philosopher's Stone. Jonathan Martin was always furious against the Church establishment, evidently with a perverted intel- lect; he stuck placards on Lincoln Minster, with de- nunciations of the wrath to come, & c. Martin's wife, who resided for a short time in Marsh- lane, Leeds, has been taken into custody while vending the " History of her Husband's Life." She expressed her surprise at the charge against her husband; and his place of conceal- ment, she said, was unknown to her. On the 21st ult. a pamphlet was found IN the Cathedral. It was tied with a cobbler's- end, covered with old mat- ting, and contained a stone, round which was wrapped the pamphlet, entitled " The Life of Jonathan Martin." The parcel contained a letter sealed with cobbler's- wax, and addressed to the clergy of York, threatening them with the judgment of God for their wickedness and blind doctrine. The paper was signed with the letters " J. M." In other manuscripts dropped in or near the Minster, and bearing the signature of Martin, still greater explicitness is found : one of them says—" Your great Churches and Minsters will come falling down on your guilty heads." YORK MINSTER.— It will cost at least 1.10,000/. to restore this edifice to its former state. The organ alone was worth 10,000/. HARE THE MURDERER.— The Scottish Judges have decided by four to two, that the public faith has been pledged to this wretch, when he was accepted as an ap- prover upon Burke's trial, and that he must be dis- charged. He is, however, still detained by an old form of Scottish law, at the suite of the relatives of Daft Jamie, for their pecuniary loss by his death. At Stafford session, a pawnbroker named Hassal, in business at Manchester, was convicted of re- ceiving stolen goods, and sentenced to fourteen years' transportation. FIRE AT GRFENWICH.— Between two and three o'clock yesterday morning, the house of a Mr. Pratt, grocer, of Greenwich, Was discovered to be on fire; on giving the alarm, the family escaped by the windows; they had hardly done so when the flames burst forth with great fury ; the engines promptly arrived, but owing to a short supply of water, and a light breeze, the the entirety consumed these premises, together with the Mitre " tavern, the booking- office of Mr. Wheatly, the houses of Mr. Differing, tailor, Mr. Bartlett, watch- maker, and Mr. Fowling, upholsterer. A recent establishment for making bread by machinery at Paris, is now going on very successfully. At a late examination at the College of Sur- geons a candidate was asked by Abernethy what he would do if a man were blown up by gunpowder? " Why," coolly answered the Tyro, " wait till he came down again."—" True," said Abernethy; " and suppose I kicked you a posteriori for such an impertinent reply, what muscles should I put in motion ?—" Why," said the young man, " the flexors and extensors of my right arm, for I should floor you directly." CORN EXCHANGE, Feb. 11.— The mealing trade is extremely heavy. Scarcely a sale has been ef- fected, although offered on lower terms. Barley was also in the same state; no sales could be made when offered full 2S. per qr. cheaper.

THURSDAY, Feb. 12 The presenting of petitions against the Catholic claims gave rise to a question from the . Earl of Falmouth to the Duke of Wellington, naroely, what grounds the Noble Duke had for asserting, as he had done on a previous evening, that the majority of the people of this country were favorable to the claims of the Roman Catholics ? The Duke of Wellington, in reply, said, he conceived the course pursued by the noble Earl as quite contrary to the rules of the House; hut he had no hesitation in expressing his conviction that a great portion of the people desired that the question should be settled. When the plans of Government respecting the Roman Catholics were before the House, he would say, once for all, they would be found to be satisfactory. The Bishop of Durham presented petitions from the clergy of Durham and Northallerton, against any further concession to the Catholics. One of the grounds of the latter petition was the " spirit of intolerant domination characteristic of the Church of Rome." The Earl of Carnarvon remarked that the words " spirit of intolerant denomination characteristic of the Church of Rome," might be a mistake for the " Church of England ;" for at no period of our history was there a more intolerant opposition to every measure involving the safety of the State than at present evinced by the majority— he was happy to say not all— of the members of the Church of England— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, Feb. 11 Eleven petitions were presented against the Catholic claims, and three in favour of them. . . Petitions were presented from the physicians of Bir- mingham and Sheffield, relative to the procuring of ana- tomical subjects. Petitions were presented from the Protestant dissenters of Chorley, Lancashire, and from the Unitarian dissenters of Great Yarmouth and Lynn, in favour of religious toleration— Adjourned. THURSDAY, Feb. 12 Nearly one hundred petitions were presented against the claims of the Catholics. Lord Beetive expressed surprise that no Member had made allusion to the associations called Brunswick Clubs. Mr. Moore, defended the institution and the conduct of the Brunswick Clubs, as being truly constitutional. A Am. Evans said that our population was 21,000,01) 0 ; of which 21.000,000, 10,000,000 were Protestants, and the remaining 5,000,000 were Catholics. In this division of the population there was wealth, property, and intelli- gence on the. most numerous side, and the absence of all these on the other. ( Cries of Hear.) And yet a popula- tion so infinitely inferior had, he confessed he was at a loss to tell why, effected mighty things. They had in- duced the Minister of the Crown to say that his senti- ments on the question of Catholic Emancipation were unchanged, but that, from the force of circumstances, he felt himself obliged to give way. The Chancellor of the Exchequer presented a petition from the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese of Dublin, against concession to tl. e Roman Catholics. In dis- senting from the petitioners on this occasion, he ( the Chancellor of the Exchequer) felt that he had but a choice of two evils to make. His sentiments like those of his Right Honourable friend ; Mr. Peel) respecting the Catholic Question, remained unchanged; and the alteration in his conduct upon it arose from this consider- ation— that whatever evils might be attendant on a change in the existing laws would be less than the evils that would inevitably flow from the continuance of a divided Government and disunited Parliament. Sir E. Knatchbull in presenting a petition from the freeholders of Kent against the Catholic Claims, said that he addressed the House with feelings far different from those which he had anticipated. It was certainly true, that he now addressed the House under circumstances and feelings of severe disappointment. ( Hear, hear.) It was a disappointment occasioned, not by the success of those who had persevered so long in advocating the claims of the Catholics, but by the conduct of those who, for reasons, an account of which, satisfactory to himself, lie had not heard, had acted in direct opposition to all their former principles. ( Hear, hear.) It has been said that the change of circumstances justified, at present, a measure which was not before justifiable. Now he must say, that he had listened with great attention to the Right Hon. Secretary of State, and to other Hon. Gen- tlemen, and he had not been able to discover why the measure which was now proposed by Ills Majesty's Go- vernment, would not have been equally proper at former periods, lie concluded with presenting the petition. Mr. Peel was bound to presume that the Hon. Baronet ( the Member for Kent), was influenced in the reproaches which he had thought proper to cast upon him by public motives alone. He would however tell the Hon. Bart, that he would not condescend to excuse himself. He Would not condescend to explain to the Hon. Baronet the reasons which hud induced him, as a responsible adviser of the Crown, to give to the Crown the advice which he had given. He knew of no relation in which he stood to any man— he knew of no relation in which he stood to any body of men— which called upon him to state why, when lie was sent for by his Sovereign to give, at a critical moment, the advice which he was bound on oath to give to the best of his ability and judgment— he should have refrained from doing his duty. ( Hear.) He repeated, therefore, that lie would not condescend to look out for excuses for the line of conduct which, under these circumstances, he had determined to pursue, either in the Councils of the King, or as the Mi- nisterial Leader in the House of Commons. As a Mem- ber of that House, he felt himself as independent as the Hon. Baronet, and in every respect as consistent. ( Hear.) But very different would have been his feelings, if he had not advised his King, as lie had done, to the best of his abilities. He had taken his oath as a Member of the Privy Council, and that oath had not only compelled him to give the advice which he had given to his So- vereign, but it would have rendered the withholding of that advice a dereliction of principle, and a strong viola- tion of his duty. He had, and he trusted that tie ever should have, firmness and strength of mind to forget in the Councils of his King, what hud been his past decla- rations and his past conduct, under circumstances which rendered neither applicable to the state of the country. He could only say, that every thing it was possible for man to do he had done ; but when the question was this — what advice will you give ? Will you advise the maintenance of the present state of tilings?— Certainly not Will you advise the formation of an exclusively Protestant Government, offering eternal and uncompro- mising resistance ? His answer was, that he could not, because he knew that such a Government would fail, and in failing would render every thing worse than at present. If, then, he could take neither of those alternatives, but one course was left to be pursued— to attempt to make a safe settlement of the question by a united Government. That course imposed painful sacrifices on him; but would any one have him personally shrink from sacrifices which he advised others to submit to ? ( Hear, hear.) Without the hesitation of a moment he determined, come what come might, to remain and set an example himself of those sacrifices. ( Hear, hear.) The petition was then read. On the motion of Mr. Peel, the Bill for the Sup- pression of the Catholic Association was brought up. Mr. Hobhouse had understood, from the Right Hon. Secretary, that none of the provisions of the Bill were intended to be permanent; but he found, on reading the first paragraph, that that part of the Bill which enacted the suppression of the Catholic Association was intended to be permanent. He wished for some information with respect to this apparent contradiction. If his reading the Bill were correct, he should feel it necessary to oppose ' he measure, which he would lie reluctant to do, because ) e felt, in common with his Hon. friends around him, a nost earnest wish not to put the least obstacle in the way jf the measure Mr. Peel said that a clause at the end of the Bill limited its operations to two years. None of the powers r. fthe Bill would continue in operation, with respect to uny association, after one year commencing on the end of tile present session of Parliament. Mr. Rice gave his support to tile Bill, satisfied that when passed it would have the effect of neutralizing the objections of many to the more important measure. Mr. Hume and Mr. Horton assented to the Bill, with the understanding that it was to be accompanied or followed immediately by a measure of concession. • Mr. Brougham said, he could not vote for the Bill on any other ground than that it was to be followed up by a measure of emancipation for the Catholics. If it were not for that consideration, he would not have allowed it to go through a single stage without meeting it with the most strenuous opposition. He objected to the Bill, because it was to put down the Catholic Associa- tion— lie objected to it because that suppression was to be perpetual— he objected to it, because it went to arm with increased power the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; but he objected to it still more, because it armed with the most extensive power the inferior Magistracy of that country; powers which, if granted at all, he should a ( treat deal more readily grant, when they were con- fined to so high and responsible a servant of the Crown as the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. ( Hear.) In con- clusion, the learned gentleman observed, that he had no doubt not only that the Catholic Association was at that moment dissolved— not only that it would not be at- tempted to be revived— not only that they were em- ployed ih legislating against the mere shadow of a name — not only that the other great measure, which he rusted was to follow this as quickly as possible, and would be carried as securely, would have the effect ot preventing the Catholics from desiring to renew the pro- ceeding against which this Bill was directed, and which the Legislature had now been endeavouring tor the last five and twenty years ill vain to put down— but that it would also prove the commencement or a conciliatory system of Government, which in a few years would make it the astonishment of them all that they had so long remained in doubt and difficulty upon a question, which, after all, was found so easy to settle. Mr, Peel said the object of the clause with which fault had been found, was to render the Bill effectual, and not to place the liberty of the subject under the risk of abuse from any of the local magistracy. Under this Bill no magistrate would have power to interfere with any as- sembly until the Lord Lieutenant had pronounced H illegal. The only magistrates who had power to de- mand admission into any place where there was rea- son to believe that an unlawful association was held, were two magistrates selected by the Lord Lieutenant. He would call the attention of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to the vast difference which existed between the penalties of the present Bill and those of the Bill passed in 1819 for ( he suppression of these Associations. By the Bill which was passed at that time, the Magis- trates had power to suppress any assembly which was sworn on oath to be dangerous. If the parties attending such meetings, after hearing their orders to disperse, refused to depart, their punishment amounted to transportation for seven years. It appeared to him that a less punishment would meet the object which he hud now in view. He therefore re- , duced the punishment to imprisonment for three months. I The Bill was then read a 2d time, and ordered to be j committed to- morrow to a Committee of the whole House, j Mr. S. Wortley gave notice that he should on Tuesday j move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Game Laws.— Adjourned. London, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13. His Majesty held a Court yesterday after- noon at his Palace at Windsor, which was attended by the Ministers and Officers of State. The Duke of Nor- | thumberland was presented to his Majesty by Mr. Secre- tary Peel ( as Secretary of Stare for the Home Depart ment), and kissed hands on his having been declared Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which the Sheriffs for the different counties in England and Wales were pricked for, to serve the office during the present year. It is understood that Mr. Peel did actually resign, about six months ago but was requested to remain in office by the King. At an interview with a certain illustrious Personage the other day, Mr. Peel is stated to have be- wailed the awkwardness of his situation with respect to his present position on the subject of the Catholic Claims. " My situation," said the Illustrious Personage, " is still more awkward— for I cannot resign." A pamphlet, by Mr. Sugden, on the " Acts of Parliament relating to the oaths to be taken by the Members of the Imperial Parliament," and in answer to Mr. Charles Butler's opinion, has excited great inte; est, and is said to be conclusive against Mr. O'Connell's claim to a seat in the House of Commons. The Corporation of London voted 100 gui- neas yesterday in support of the funds of an Episcopalean floating chapel on the Thames. Consols yesterday declined £ per cent, the closing price 8f>£ for Account. India Bonds and Ex- chequer Bills also fell Is. General Lord Hill's Levee yesterday at bis office in the Horse Guards was attended by eight general and about twenty other officers. Frankfort papers of the 10th, and Brussels of the 11th inst. have arrived. The former state that new limits have been fixed for Greece, embracing Athens. The latter announce that the Rhine had overflowed its banks, and rolled like a devastating sea through the country, covered with isles of ice. Letters of the 22d ult. have been received from Gibraltar. It was expected that the sanatory cor- don on the Spanish lines would not be withdrawn before the 12th instant. General Don, the Lieutenant- Gover- nor, was rather indisposed. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 8.— In Pera all is in motion ; the appearance of M. Jaubert, who arrived here on the 1st inst., ancl put up at the hotel of the Legation of the Netherlands, gives new life to the diplomatic circles, and revives the hopes of peace. The Divan has met twice since to deliberate on the communications which the French Cabinet has transmitted to the Porte through the Ambassador of the Netherlands. Though nothing can be positively stated relative to the result of these deliberations of the Divan, it is, however, confi- dently believed that the overtures made have not been unfavourably received. The Russian blockade is strictly enforced notwith- standing the season. Provisions have, in consequence, experienced a considerable rise, and, if the blockade con- tinue, are likely to rise still more. Three Turkish men of war have sailed for the Dardanelles; six others are ready to proceed with the first fair wind to the entrance of the Black Sea. BUCHAREST, Jan. 17— The weather has now become so very bad that all the communications are in- terrupted, and the roads whollv impassable. We accord- ingly have not the smallest intelligence from the counties on the Danube. The crown of Hanover does not descend to females; should, therefore, his present Majesty and the Duke of Clarence die without male issue ( as it is almost certain they will), tile Princess Victoria will succeed to the throne of England, and the Duke of Cumberland to that of Hanover. The Recorder made his Report to the King at Windsor on Wednesday, of lfi prisoners capitally con- victed at the last Old Bailey sessions, when his Majesty respited all of them, except Joseph Burnham, for house- breaking, and Benjamin Burrup, for shooting at with a loaded pistol, both of whom arc ordered for execution on Tuesday next, Metcalfe and Jackson are matched to run 300 yards on Epsom Downs, for 100/. a side. The race is to take place on the 10th of March. RIOT AT NANTWICH.— A dctacliment of 180 of the 87th Royal Irish Fusileers, quartered at Chester, were suddenly despatched to Nantwich on Monday. The arrival of an express from that town, required the instant aid of the military, as the populace of the whole neighbourhood were rescuing a gang of twenty- five des- perate poachers who had been appprehended. The mob had demolished a round- house in which a portion of the poachers were confined and set them at liberty. The de- tachment has since returned to Chester, with two wag- gon loads of prisoners, who have been committed to prison, CORN- EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, Feb. 13. Though we are very moderately supplied with English Wheat and Flour this week, of foreign wheat we have a good arrival, and the mealing trade continues in an ex- ceeding dull state, though with little variation in value. Barley, Beans, and Peas scarcely support Monday's prices ; and Oats meet an extremely dull sale on scarcely so good terms, particularly the middling or inferior de- scriptions, which are decidedly lower. In other articles there is no variation.

For asthmatic and consumptive dis- orders, the " CORDIAL HALM or LIFE," a medicine prepared by Dr. LAMERT, has, we understand, from the use of it, produced the most salutary effects, in the re- storation of many individuals ( who had, for years, la- boured under asthma and consumption) to their original sanity of constitution. [ C032 To the Printer of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal. SIR,— The extra- zodiacal planet Ceres, discovered by Piazzi, at Palermo, on the first day of the present cen- tury, being now in that part of its orbit nearest the earth, has increased so in luminousness as to rival a star of the sixth magnitude; and may be easily distinguished in a clear evening during this and the ensuing month, by an unassisted keen eye, or through a common pockct- tele- scope. As it precedes Castor an hour in direct ascension, it is to be sought to the right of that fine, notable star, about thrice the distance from it that the two Pointers of the Great Bear are asunder; and, allowing for the dif- ference of declination, this new and anomalous planet will be detected a little below the terminating point of our imagined line in the heavens, displaying a ruddy, nebulous, ill- defined disk. I presume, Sir, every person is capable of recognizing Castor in the evening sky— that sweet star which associ- ates so pleasing ideas of fraternal friendship— and over whose placid aspect hovers the witchery of Horace's Muse. If otherwise, allow me to hint, that the retro- grade Planet Saturn is now hanging on the foot- steps of the Twin Brothers I am, Sir, itc. JOHN DAVIS. LYNDHURST, Feb. 11, 1829. The Duke of Northumberland will set out for Ireland in the course of next week. Part of his Grace's establishment have already left London for Dublin. Mr. Peel's Bill enacts that the Catholic Association be suppressed; every person present at the same, after the passing the Bill, to be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour— The Lord Lieutenant is empowered to suppress Associations or Assemblies by Proclamation— Any two Justices of the Peace to whom such Proclama- tion or order shall be given by the direction of the Lord Lieutenant, may enter any place where such Association is held; and if refused admittance may enter by force : they shall then command all persons to disperse imme- diately; and if they do not disperse within one quarter of an hour they may be apprehended, and be pro- ceeded against in a summary way for such offence be- fore any two Justices: if convicted, they shall be committed to gaol for three calendar months; and for a second or subsequent offence, for one whole year— For the purposes of the Act, Justices may act within every county, city, town, or place, throughout Ireland — Any person knowingly permitting the meeting of any Association which has been prohibited or suppressed, is to forfeit for every such offence 100/— Persons subscribing to such Associations to forfeit treble the sum so contri- buted, or 10/. at the election of the Attorney- General— Sums subscribed are to be forfeited to his Majesty ; and every person receiving, or otherwise having the same, shall be obliged to answer upon oath any information filed by the Attorney- General— Prosecution to be commenced within three ealendar months next after the fact com- mitted The Act is to commence from the expiration of ten days after the passing thereof— so much of it as relates to the Catholic Association shall be perpetual, and the residue thereof to be in force for one year from the day of passing the Act, and until the end of the then next Session of Parliament. At a Congregation of the University of Cam- bridge, on Wednesday, a Grace was proposed to petition Parliament against the admission of Roman Catholics into Parliament and into the highest offices of the State. The Grace was thrown out by a majority of 62 to 41. It is worthy of remark, that last week, in the University of Oxford, a petition against the Catholic concessions was carried by 164 to 48. DUBLIN, Feb. 10.— Letters were yesterday received from Lord Holland, the Marquis of Anglesey. Lord Ebrington, aud several others of the staunch and steady friends of the cause, echoing the opinion of Mr. Brougham, thot the Association should dissolve itself, and importuning the friends of Ireland, in terms the most fervid and emphatic, to exert themselves in achiev- ing that desirable consummation. We understand Mr. Lawless has determined to give notice, this day, of a motion, " that the Association do adjourn sine die" on Thursday next. This, proceeding from so active and uncompromising an agitator, evinces a laudable spirit of conciliation— We are authorised to state, that Mr. Shiel had a long conference yesterday with twenty- two of the Catholic Bishops now assembled j in National Synod in Dublin, upon a subject of the ! greatest importance. 1 It is rumoured that the projected Bill for the Emancipation of the Catholics will be thrown out in the Lords. The petition agreed to at Bodmin, against further concessions to the Catholics, was fully and re- spectably signed : out of 112 most respectable freeholders and inhabitants in the parish of Lanlivery, 104 signed it. The portrait of his Majesty, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, has been recently engraved, and as a specimen of the graphic art, is equal in merit to the picture. His Majesty has taken the first 200 impressions, at 10 guineas each, for presents. The East India Company's Charter will ex- pire by law in 1834,— provided the Company shall have received three years' notice from the Legislature to that effect. The discussion of this great question, before Par- liament, will consequently take place early in the year 1831, if not before. From an official report of the price of corn in different parts of France, it appears that there is a fall of 80 centimes upon the general average price of the whole kingdom, compared with the average price of Ja- nuary 1. This fall is common to all the markets, and in no place has there been a rise. On the 31st of January, 1828, the average price in France was 21fr. 52c., and on the 1st of January, 1829, it was 22f. 18c. The rise therefore is only 66 centimes. In May next the militia will be called out for one month's training; and on the termination of the training, 24th June, the reductions of the respective staffs will be accomplished. The Maltsters' Association in Somersetshire is actively engaged, in conjunction with the London Association, making preparations to obtain relief from the operation of the present Malt Laws. It is reported that the Commissioners of As- sessed Taxes are compounding for the payment of next year's taxes by offering a deduction of 25 per cent.! A meeting was held at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol, on Monday, at which it was determined to erect an Hotel in that city, with accommodations ade- quate to the increasing trade and importance of the city. Preparations are making for fixing an illu- minated dial in the southern front of the tower of St. Nicholas's Church, Bristol. The Corporation have con- tributed 30/. towards the expense. NEW BOOKS.— Among the works announced as now nearly ready for publication, are, the Memoirs of the Life of Lord Byron, by Thomas Moore, Esq.; Es- says on Planting and Gardening, by Sir Walter Scott; Colloquies on the Progress and Prospects of Society, by Robert Southey; a Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada, by Washington Irving; All for Love, or a Sinner well : Saved, by Robert Southey. I Sir Walter Scott is now engaged in writing his life, of which more than 100 pages are already printed. The antiquary and virtuoso will be glad to learn that all the valuable curiosities, which have been i carefully preserved in York Minster for ages, and exlii- ! bited for a trifling fee in one of the vestries, have been preserved. ELEMENTARY TEACHING.— Let us not be afraid of over- educating the people ; there is no pos- sibility of educating them too much if they are edu- cated rightly. If the foundation is properly laid in re- j ligious principles, it is then as impossible that a mail, whatever may be his condition in life, can be too learn d I and too wise, as it is for him to be too healthy, too I active, and too strong. In proportion as he acquires a love of knowledge, will he cease to be attracted by meaner things : in proportion as he attains wisdom, will he be more fully sensible of his duties toward God and man, and better disposed, and, under certain circum- stances, better able to perform them, if he has been in- structed in them duly, and betimes.— Quarterly Review CONFESSION OF BURKE.— The confession of this wretch, made before the Sheriff Substitute of Edin- burgh and several other gentlemen, has now been pub- lished, and it confirms the reports that have been circu- lated, of the unparalleled murders committed by this monster and his associate Hare. It appears that in Nov. 1827, Burke and his paramour Helen M'Dougal went to. live with Hare and his wife, who let seven beds in their house to lodgers. About Christmas 1827, an old pensioner named Donald having died in the house, Hare proposed to Burke to sell the body to the doctors, and Burke was to have a share of the money ; Burke as- sented ; they put the body into a sack, and took it to Dr. Knox's house, No. 10, Surgeons- square, where, Dr. K. having loaked at the body, ordered the sum of " I. 10s. to be paid to them for it, which was done, and they di- vided the sum between them. Early in the spring of 1828, a woman from Gilmerton who lodged in the house, became tipsy, and Hare proposed to Burke to smother her, and sell her body to the doctors; Hare placed his hand upon her mouth and nose, while she was in a state of insensibility, and Burke laid himself across her body, keeping down her arms and thighs, and thereby prevent- ing her from struggling; in this manner the unfortunate woman soon died from suffocation, and her body was disposed of to Dr. Knox, who asked no questions about it. The success with which they perpetrated this atrocious deed, induced these monsters, Hare and Burke, to murder the following persons, who afterwards, in the course of last year, lodged in Hare's house: they were all suffocated in the same manner, and their bodies dis- posed of in the same way. The next victim was a man named Joseph, a miller; a woman, name unknown ; an Englishman, name unknown ; a woman, named Hal- dane, and her daughter; a cinder woman; a woman, with her son about 12 years old, both suffocated ; two other women; a girl named Patterson; a washer- woman; a woman named M'Dougal; a man called Daft Jamie ; and lastly, the old woman named Doherty, whose murder Burke was convicted of upon the testimony of his accom- plice Hare, and executed. It appears that Hare, who was admitted as a King's evidence, has confessed his participation in these horrible deeds, and his account varies but in trivial points from that given by Burke. Both of them have stated that Hare's wife and Helen M'Dougal were not privy to the murders, although it was possible they had some suspicion of them. They have also declared that they never allowed Dr. Knox, or any of his assistants, to know where Hare's house was, but it was known to a man named Paterson, Dr. Knox's porter. On Monday last as a young gentleman, about 12 years of age, was going through the Park, in Bristol, at three o'clock in the afternoon, he was accosted and hustled by three great lads, who robbed him of a gold watch and seals. Last week a poor woman at Portland, having occasion to go to her neighbours, left her room, in which was a lamp burning, in the care of her child, a fine boy about ( i years of age. On her return, which was not more than five minutes, she found him enveloped in flames, and was so much burned as to cause his death on the following day. An inquest was held on the body, nil n a verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned. Early on Tuesday morning the house of George Hancock, of Freshford, was broken open, and several clocks in an unfinished state, and a number of metal and silver watches were stolen. PEDESTRIANISM.— A nian named Jenkins, of Bath, has been backed to run three miles against any pe- destrian that can be produced for 500/. Twenty- five pounds a side has been deposited. To the PROTESTANTS of the WEST of ENGLAND. " Oh! save my Country, Heaven!" FELLOW PROTESTANTS! That moment is at length arrived which, once allowed to pass unheeded, can never, never be recalled— that moment so precious " in the affairs of men"— 60 precious ill your eyes and in the eyes of all true Protestants— the moment for coming manfully, fearlessly, and boldly for- ward in the defence of your glorious Constitution, is now arrived— and, " which taken at its tide," may yet lead to the happiest results;— but if that moment of such deep and vital importance, a moment so peculiarly national, be permitted to pass by unheeded, the consequences must fall on your own heads Protestants! Your papal and political enemy is already at the door, and the die will shortly be cast, which is for ever to undermine one of the principal pillars of your Constitution, of that Con- stitution at once the pride of your own, and the envy of all other nations— and of that Church, which your forefathers have sealed with their heart's blood, and have handed down as an heir- loom to succeeding generations. And will you, I ask, stand calmly by, and see that beautiful edifice mutilated and defiled by a religion that regards yours as heresy, and yourselves as heretics, without even raising your voice against an attempt to overthrow all that you have been taught from your earliest infancy to homage and revere ? Can you, I ask, quietly view an attempt to over- turn that Constitution which has exalted England, your still great and happy country, to an height unequalled either in the page of history or in the annals of the world, without proclaiming your loud and solemn protest against a mea- sure fraught only with danger, and pregnant but with dismay? Never! never! will be your reply. Let me then • most earnestly implore you, as you value all that is dear to you in this life, your King, your Church, your Constitu- tion, your homes, your families, your friends, your coun- try, to lose not a moment in forwarding petitions to the two houses of Parliament. Step boldly forward, and in firm but respectful language entreat the Legislature to pause, deeply to pause, ' ere they pass a measure that must entail so much misery and danger on this kingdom And, felhw Protestants, rest not here,— but add an humble & dutiful address to your Sovereign, beseeching him like- wise to take your cause into his gracious consideration, and to extend his protecting influence to your established religion,— to that religion he h^ s himself called most so- lemnly upon his Maker and his God to grant him grace and strength to preserve,— remind him, respectfully re- mind him of the solemn oath he took when the crown of these realms was placed on his head ; and oh ! above all, remind him of those principles which placed himself and the House of Brunswick on the throne. Let every true Protestant attach his signature to these petitions. There is not an individual, however humble his ca pacity or condition in life may be, who possesses not an interest, a deep and vital interest ill this great cause— not one who possesses not the privilege of making known his political grievances, not only to the legislative powers in Parliament assembled, but who may also lay them at the foot of the Throne, and seek redress. And will you, fellow Protestants, permit this great and valuable privi- lege to remain dormant at this present most awful crisis ? 1 Will you rest satisfied by remaining silent, and see the chief pillar of your Church attacked, without even ring- ing the alarm bell to her rescue ? Never, never ! Come then^ boldly forward ; be the present your moment for proving to your political enemies, and to your country, that you have still most warmly and most deeply at heart the welfare of your country, and that you are still deter- mined to stand forward ih the defence of that religion and that Constitution, under which it is at once your pride and your glory to live— as it Trill be, if occasion re- quire it, to die— And having done this, my fellow Pro- testants, be assured that whatever may be the result of your endeavours, whether prosperous or adverse, you at ieast will have the consolation ( and consoling indeed in the hour of trial, and in the day of difficulty will the feeling be) of reflecting, that you have done what your country and your religion expect every true son to do— your duty. ANTI CATHOLIC. Feb. 11, 1829. FIRE AT YORK MINSTER.— The following is a copy of the confession made by Martin:— " I set fire to the Minster in consequence of two re- markable dreams. I dreamt that one stood by me, with a bow and a sheaf of arrows, and he shot one through the Minster door. I Said I wanted to try to shoot, and he presented me the bow. I took an arrow from the sheaf, and shot, but the arrow hit the flags and I lost it. I also dreamt that a large thick cloud came down over the Minster, and extended to my lodgings; from these things I thought that I was to set fire to the Minster. — I took these things away with me for fear somebody else should be blamed, i cut off the fringe and the tassels from the pulpit and bishop's throne, or what you call it, for I do not know their names, as a witness against me, to show that I had done it by myself." It is remarkable that, in the first lesson for Sunday afternoon, being the first Sunday after the fire in York Minster, there is tile following verse:—" Our holy and our beautiful bouse, where our fathers praised Thee, is burned up with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste."— Isaiah, c. 64, v. 11. Martin, the incendiary, was born in 1782, at Hexham in Northumberland, of parents in a humble station, who apprenticed him to a tanner. In his 22d year he went to London, where he was impressed, and sent to sea on board a seventy- four gun- ship. After a number of adventures, in which he mention! having been four times shipwrecked, he retimed to his parents in Northumberland. Having obtained employ- ment at hisown business at Norton, Durham, he married. On the death of his mother he dreamed that she came to see him. " and she told me," says he, " that I was to be hanged." He afterwards joined the Methodists, and next travelled to Stockton, where lie conducted himself in such a way as to shew that he was deprived of reason. While in this state he took the resolution to shoot the Bishop of Lincoln. The parish officers committed him to a lunatic asylum, from whence he escaped; he was again committed, and again escaped from the asylum at Gateshead. From that time he led a vagrant life, sup- porting himself by selling his own history, and exhibit- ing every where symptoms of fanatical enthusiasm and mental derangement. j In the Court of King's Bench on Wednesday, t James Ackland, who was convicted of publishing libels on the magistrates of Bristol, was sentenced to be impri- j toned in Gloucester Jail for two calendar months, and to ! enter into his own recognizance for 100/. for the term of three years. COURT of KING'S BENCH, Feb. 9— Rex v. Seymour This day the judgment of the Court was called for on the defendant, John Richmond Seymour, Esq. who was convicted at the last spring assizes at Salis- bury, of an attempt to commit an abominable offence. The defendant is a man of considerable fortune, a mar- lied man, and father of several children. The reading of the evidence at the trial occupied four hours; after which Mr. Sergeant Wilde addressed the Court in arrest of judgment. He commenced by stating, that Charles Macklin, who was convicted with the present defendant, had died a few days since.' The learned Sergeant com- mented at considerable length, and with great ability, on the evidence given at the trial by Ploebe Hopkins, Bevan the coachman, Mr. Johnston, and the other principal witnesses. After hearing the learned Sergeant three hours, the Court adjourned the further hearing of his argument till the next day. Feb. 10 Mr. Serjeant Wilde resumed liis arguments in this case, and after again commenting on the discre- pencies and contradictions in the evidence of several of the witnesses for the prosecution, called the attention of the Court to the evidence of professor Millington and other witnesses for the defendant, who had examined the situation of the dressing- room at Crowood, and made experiments, with a view to show that the transaction sworn to have taken place between Mr. Seymour and Macklin could not be seen from the place where Hop- kins and Bevan had stated that they witnessed it. In adverting to another part of the case, the learned sergeant said it had been observed— and he had always felt the force of the observation— that there was a total absence of all motive on the part of the servants for bringing forwatfi ibis charge, supposing it to be a false one, against Mr. Seymour. His answer to the observation, however, was that the parties never contemplated that upon the statements which they had made, Mr. Seymour would be brought to trial for his life. They had not originally foreseen the extent to which the affair would be carried ; but having been stimulated by the proceedings which Mr. Seymour had commenced against them, their ori- ginal motive, whatever it might have been, had been ex- tended, and the parties had pursued their object until they had produced those consequences, which, at the time they first propagated the charge, they never dreamt would take place. The learned Serjeant then urged with great force, that the defendant having been acquitted on the indictment charging him with the commission of the capital offence, on the ground that the evidence in sup- port of such charge was not sufficient to establish it, he ought to have been acquitted of the misdemeanour also. The Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, before whom the first indictment had come on for trial, inti- mated his opinion that if the evidence were true, the capital charge had been fully established ; but the coun- sel for the prosecution had thought it right to give up the case after the examination of Phoebe Hopkins and another witness. Now if their evidence was not to be believed at that time, it ought not on the trial for the misdemeanour to have been thought worthy of credit, anil the defendant ought to have been accquitted. Lord Tenterden, after consulting with tile other Judges, said that in a case of so much importance as this, the Court thought it right, before giving its decision upon the present application, that each of the Judges should have an opportunity of reading the evidence as it ap- peared upon the report of the learned Judge before whom the case was tried. When they had done so, the Court would intimate its opinion to the learned serjearnt, and if they should decide that there ought to be a rule nisi for a new trial, the rule might be drawn up as of the present teim. The defendant must in the mean time be remanded to the custody of the Marshal. Soon after the defendant had' been removed, Lord Tenterden, addressing Sir James Scarlett, said that it had been just intimated to the Court, on the part of the defendant, that it would be more convenient to him to be removed to the gaol in the country from whence he had been brought. The Court would therefore allow him to go down, but he must do so, and appear again if , necessary, at his own expense.

GOUT AND RHEUMATISM, FROM the extensive file of Dr. L.' s nu- merous correspondents, he has selected the follow- ing Letter, which will plainly and incontrovertibly prove the high estimation in which the Cordial Balm of Zura is held by those who have been benefited and preserved through the salutary action of its medicinal virtues. New Town, Edinburgh, Sept. 10, 1827- _ Sir,— With unfeigned satisfaction, and, I may add, sincere gratitude, I address you. I have been a dreadful martyr to Gout and Rheumatism during the last fifteen years of my life, particularly in the winter months. I have had the first medical opinions that money could procure or skill afford, but I could obtain no lasting relief. I am now in my 50th year, and until within the last few months have been confined to my chair or my bed nine months out of the twelve; my limbs were so contracted, or rather crippled, as to prevent me standing in an erect posture 011 my feet for five minutes, without the most ex- cruciating pain. The extremities of my limbs were dreadfully swoIn, and the pain I suffered resembled thai of a battalion of pins or needles striking their points into my flesh. Having tried various specifics, tinctures, and mixtures, without avail, until I was reduced to the last stage of debility, I wds, in the early part of last March, advised by Mr. Jeffray, a literary acquaintance of mine, to make a trial of your " Anti- Rheumatic Cordial Balm of Zura;" I complied with his advice, and at the end of two months found myself a new man; I was able to walk without a stick, and ride out occasionally; my strength progressively improved, I seldom felt any pain, the swollen state of my limbs subsided, arid ray appetite improved. I continued to take the Balm of Zura until five weeks ago, and now am, thank God, completely re- stored to health" and strength. I enclose you a 5/. note, and request you will send me a case of the Balm of Zura in return, as I have used the last bottle, and wish to pro- vide against the winter. I am, Sir, with respect, vour very obedient servant, EDWARD PERCY HAMILTON, A. M. Dr. Lamert, Church- street, Spitalfield, London. In bottles at 4s. 6d lis. and 1/. each ; the Us. bottle contains three at 4s. 6d. and that at 1/. contains six times the quantity— whereby there is a saving of 7s. duty in- cluded ; and sold at the Printing- office, on the Canal, Salisbury. [ 6031 To SPORTSMEN AND OTHERS WAIN WRIGHT'S STAFFORDSHIRE CORDIAL, And Royal English Medicine for Horses. FROM the various acute Diseases to which Horses are liable, and by which numbers are annually lost, before assistance can be procured, it is par- ticularly recommended to Sportsmen, Coach Proprietors, Carriers, Farmers, Innkeepers, Dealers in Horses, & c. always to keep by them a Bottle or two of WAIN- WRIGHT's STAFFORDSHIRE CORDIAL, and Royal English Medicine for Horses, which has been given with unprecedented success in the most dangerous stages of the following Diseases, viz— The Sleeping or Raging Staggers, Gripes, Fret, Colds, Coughs, Fevers, and all Disorders originating in cold, or from grazing in marshy wet meadows, or after severe exercise in raci hunting, running in coaches, drawing waggonr, hard riding, & c. and is universally acknowledged to be the greatest restorative to exhausted nature, and the most valuable horse medicine ever known.— During ti e hunt- ing season no sportsman ought to he unprovided with it, a single bottle having saved the life of many a valuable hunter, after a severe day's chase. By appointment of the Proprietor it is sold at the Ori- ginal Warehouse, No. If}, Bow Church Yard, London; also at the Printing- Office on the Canal, Salisbury; and lay all the principal country booksellers and medicine vender Price X;. fid. the bottle.

Mr. CUFF begs to call the attention of his Brother Farmers to the following Cases :— Mr. Blind, near Hungerford, saved a valuable horse in a desperate case cf the Fret, or Gripes, by using one bottle— also Mr. Wells, of Salisbury— also Mr. Care, of Chard, ( one of Russel's waggon horses.)— Mr. Bloom, field, of South Wootton, near Lynn, Norfolk, saved three cows in homeless cases of Hitting, or Scouring, by only t'arce bottles— Air. Perring, near Axminster, De- vonshire, two cows, which he declares have since fattened faster than any of his others— Mr. Wedge, bailiff to the Right Hon. the Earl of Carnarvon, several calves— Mr. Bull, of Vernham Farm, near Andover, saved several ewes oit the point of Heaving or Mortification, and of lambs lie believes nearly one hundred— also Mr. Gerrish, of Upton, a great number of both ewes and lambs— and Mr. Rumbol, near Hungerford, twenty- nine iambs out of thirty, with only one bottle ! These, with hundreds of other cases to which Mr. CUFF can refer, must satisfy the Public that Cuff's Farmers Friend is their Friend indeed. Yet, after all, aa prcventioti is much better than a cure, any Cattle showing a tendency to the disease of fegtui^ ipg, ought to have half a dose of Cuff's Farmer's- - Friend's now and tlten ; and on going to grass, or any such sihj- j den change., half a dose given the. first ihifc| illitj> every three days for three or four times, ytinl'd give tnenij; such a start of others, either in growinu^ fatt - ning. or,' producing milk, that the owners cannot kill being well satisfied for their expense and trouble. ' | fiiwi '. THE SALISBURY AND WINCHESTER JOURNAL WESLEYAN METHODISTS— YORK CATHEDRAL. We have the greatest satisfaction in giving all the publicity in our power to the following admirable Letter from some Wesleyan Ministers in Yorkshire, con- taining sentiments which do no less honour to them as men than as Christians:— To the Editor of the Yorkshire Gazette. SIR,— The Editor of the York Chronicle having stated in reference to a person of the name of Jonathan Martin, who is charged with having set fire to the Cathedral, that in a book published by him lie advocates the peculiar te- nets of the Wesleyan Methodists, and that the clergy of the establishment are the objects of his vituperation ; we think it proper to express our surprise at the illiberality of the insinuation implied in that statement, our igno- rance of those " peculiar tenets of Wesleyan Methodism" which arc at variance with the doctrines of the Church of England, our entire disapprobation of those persons who vituperate her clergy, and our sincere hope that the per- sons by whom the choir of the most elegant and majestic cathedral in Great Britain has been wantonly destroyed, will be detected, and receive the punishment which a crime so barbarous and diabolical justly merits. It is true that, in his wonderful " Life," J. M. states himself to have once been a member of the Wesleyan Methodists' Society; but it is also true that, so far from receiving any encouragement of his " bitter vituperati- ons," of the church and her ministers, he does, in the same book, acknowledge himself to have been expelled from the society for what he calls his " zeal" against the clergy, but what the society from which he was expelled deemed to be enthusiasm and insanity. Relying upon your candour for the insertion of this do- cument in your widely circulated publication, and with a hope that the Editor of the Chronicle will in future be more cautious, and not identify any religious denomi- nation with a man, whose crime ( if he be guilty) must be viewed by all with abhorrence, and will be regarded by none with greater detestation, than by the ministers and members of the Wesleyan Methodist Society. We are, yours respectfully, R. WOOD, ^ Jos. AGAR, J York, Feb. 6th, 11B9. The treasurer of the Salisbury Infirmary has received the sum of 201. as a legacy by the late Mary Pearce, paid by Miss C. Fifield. A subscription has been raised at Warmin- ster to the amount of nearly 2501, for the relief of the poor resident in that parish. The Rev. Lundy Foot has been instituted to the rectory of Longbredy, near Dorchester, on the pre- sentation of Robert Williams, Esq. M. P. The advantages resulting from the establish- ment of the Watch and Ward system in this city are fully demonstrated, as not one felony has been known to have been committed in the night within the city during the nine weeks which it has been in operation ; and prior to its adoption scarcely a night passed without some de- predations occuring. Some of those who were known to be the principals in these robberies, are ascertained to have left the city in consequence. Independent of the additional security afforded to the property of the citizens, there is another powerful stimulus to the continuance of their exertions,— the great saving hereby made in the expenditure of the city ; as the expenses of maintaining and prosecuting prisoners at the last sessions for offences committed in the six weeks immediately preceding the establishment of the Watch and Ward were nearly equal to the amount of a rate of sixpence in the pound on the whole city. These advantages— security and economy — are more than commensurate to the inconvenience felt by those who have volunteered their services; and we trust that no individual whose health and circumstances permit, will withhold his personal attendance. The Postmaster General has given his sanc- tion for a penny- post between Devizes and the villages of Nursteed, Stert, Urchfont, Wedhampton, Conock, Chirton, Marden, Patney, and Beechingstoke.

The House of Commons, last night, in a Committee, went through the Bill for putting down dan- gerous Associations in Ireland, in which several amend- ments were made; but none in effect materially altering the original construction of the Bill. The Secretary of State for Ireland, and the Attorney and Solicitor General had a long conversation, yesterday, with Mr. Secretary Peel. The Catholic Association met on Tuesday and adjourned to yesterday, with a full understanding that the dissolution was then to take place. It is understood Mr. O'Connell does not intend to attempt to take his seat in the House of Com- mons pending the measures which the Government has announced. DUBLIN, Feb. 11.— At a meeting of the Ro- man Catholic Association yesterday, Mr. Shiel declared that the titular Bishops had determined to recommend a dissolution of the Association— Mr. Lawless gave notice that he should on this day week move that the Associa- tion do adjourn sine die. PARIS, Feb. 12.— The Chamber of Peers is to meet to- day or to- morrow, to receive official commu- nications of the Government. The Ministers will pre- sent a project of law on the book trade, and another on duelling. It is affirmed, that two motions to resume the im- peachment of the Ministers, have been made in the Chamber, by Messrs. Labbey de Pompiere, and Eusebe de Salverte. They will be developed in a Secret Com- mittee. It is affirmed that M. de Chateaubriand has applied to the Ministry for leave to return to Paris, and that his request has not been refused. Accounts from Washington to the I5t! i ult. give an article of some interest to the merchants. By this we learn that the Committee of Ways and Means had decided to report a bill to provide for refunding to the importers the additional duties levied by the late Tariff on all merchandize previous to its passage. By this just and and satisfactory measure, many cargoes, which by this premature operation bad fallen under the advanced du- ties, would be placed upon that footing to which they were entitled. Overland advices from Bombay, of the 22d October, mention serious disputes as having occurred be- tween the King's Judges of that Presidency and the Com- pany's servants, respecting the jurisdiction of the Court. Dutch papers of the 13th inst. contain an article from Stockholm, announcing an intended visit of the Emperor of Russia in Pinland, and great military preparations in that province. The Slate of Georgia has delivered a formal Protest to the Congress of the United States against the Tariff, as an assumption of usurped power. South Caro- lina has prepared a similar Protest.

Amongst others who were able to live through this severe run, were no- ticed the noble Karl, the ' Squire of Burdrop, Mr. Robert Cedrington, and Captain Douglas, who were in good place through the whole of it. Many others made a fair fight, and the yeomen of the county, as is usual in Wiltshire, were particularly well mounted. The pace was very fast, and the run, which cannot be computed at less than 25 miles, lasted an hour and forty minutes without any check of importance. The ringers of the parish Church of St. Peter, Shaftesbury, met at the Crooked Billet Inn, on Wednes- day, to elect two members to fill up the vacancies: Mr. Jeremiah Imber ( the only candidate* was unanimously elected a member, and regaled his brother ringers with old English fare, roast beef and plum pudding.

Public Orator of the University of Oxford, and rector of Alton, in the county of Wilts. His learning was profound and various; his poetic talents ( exemplified in his poem entitled Lewes- don Hill, and his Address to the Duke of Portland) of the highest order; his knowledge of business rare amongst literary men ; his love of truth was ardent; his hatred of all wrong was tempered into general charity by " affec- tions mild," which endeared him to all who knew him. On Thursday the 5th inst, died at Alderbury, in this county, Mrs. Foster, widow of the late Mr. Foster, in the 77th year of her age ; her illness which was long and painful, she endured with Christian patience and resignation. Tuesday last died, at Eigheldean, after a long illness, aged 89 years, Mr. William Wheeler, clerk of the above place for upwards of fifty years. Friday se'nnight died at Sturminster Newton, at an advanced age, Richard Moore, Esq. many years a solicitor in that place. Tuesday last died Ann, wife of Mr. WM, Adams, of the Wheat Sheaf Inn, Calne.

On Thursday the 12th inst. died, Mr. William Pike, of Great Bedwin, Wills, in the 5! lth year of bis age, deeply lamented and regretted by his numerous family and relations; kind hearted and benevolent, he was endeared to his numerous circle of friends, by amenity of manners, and a strict discharge of his moral and religious duties. On Wednesday the 11th instant died, Miss Harriot Spencer, daughter of the late Mr. Edw. Spencer, surgeon, of Fonthill Gifford ; after a painful and lingering illness, borne with patience and cheerful resignation. A remembrance of the many good qualities of her mind, will long be cherished by her relations and friends. On the 4th inst. died at Monkton, Dorset, in the 49th year of his age, most deeply and deservedly re- gretted, Mr. Spear, leaving a wife and eight children to lament their irreparable loss. Tuesday last died at Shaftesbury, after a short illness, Mr. John Harding, sen. aged 79 years, who bore the character of an honest upright man. On Saturday the 7th inst. died, Mrs. Hol- loway, of Milford. near this city. FIRE.— On Tuesday evening, a fire was dis- covered in the stables at Bridehead Farm, about ten miles from Dorchester; engines from Dorchester were soon on the spot, and after some time the fire was got under, but not before the whole of the stables, and other outbuildings, with a large barn full of corn and some va- luable ricks were entirely consumed. There were in the stables eighteen cart horses, some of them worth 40/. each, only one of which was saved. Tile fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. Mr. Bryant, the proprietor, was insured only for the corn consumed, supposed to be worth 300/. On Friday night the 6th inst. the stable of Mr. Dunning, of Corton, near Dorchester, was entered, and a valuable dark bay horse stolen : there is good rea- son for thinking that it was stolen by some gypsies who were in the neighbourhood. SACRILEGE.— On Monday evening some vil- lains broke into the Church of Bradford Peverell, neat Dorchester, and destroyed the organ belonging to it. The barrels were taken out, thrown out of the window, and seriously damaged ; & nearly all the pipes were wrenched from their places, and broken to pieces. This act must have been perpetrated by some miscreants who were well acquainted with the church, and the receptacles for the keys of the organ. A reward of twenty guineas has been offered by the Rev. M. Onslow, the rector, for their ap- prehension and conviction. At a petty sessions held at Sherborne, on the 5th instant, two informations against John Hurlstone, of Melbury Osmond, one for retailing strong beer, and the other for selling tobacco without excise licenses, were heard before the Magistrates. After evidence given by an Officer of Excise, who purchased beer and tobacco of the defendant, he was fined in the lull penalty of 50/. for each offence, without mitigation. Saturday's Post.

FRIDAY, Feb. 13.— The Marquis of Anglesey pre- sented about 30 Petitions from the Roman Catholics of several parishes in Ireland; 10 Petitions for a repeal of the Subletting Act; and 12 against the. New Vestry Act. The Bishop of Bristol, Bishop of Durham, Earl of Westmoreland, Lord Farnham, Duke of Newcastle, and Lord Clare, presented petitions against the Catholic claims. The Earl of Winchelsea presented a petition, most numerously signed, from the freeholders of the county of Kent, against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. The Earl of Darnley, in presenting a petition, signed by nearly 2080 freeholders of Kent in favour of Catholic Emancipation, said that when the Lord at the head of his Majesty's Government had, last Session, stated his wish for a settlement of this great question, he ( Lord Darnley) felt convinced that his Grace would bring it to a happy issue. He trusted that large majorities in both Houses would favour him, and that the result would en- title him to the greatest civic crown Which any States- man ever wore. Earl Grey proposed to himself most invaluable advan- tages from the prospects then before him— alluding to the petition presented by Karl Darnley ; he said there was not one Word in it to which he would not most willingly subscribe, as the entire of it was perfectly consistent with what lie had advocated for twenty years. He would yield to no man in" the kingdom in his attach- ment to the British Constitution— and the Protestant Establishment of it, he would say esto perpetua ; but he thought its best security was a general extension of civil and religious liberty. ( Hear, hear.) The noble Earl then went into a detail of the various discussions of the Catholic Question, and the result thereof, within the last 25 years; and observed, that out of five new Par- liaments, four were in favour of the measure. After some observations from other noble Lords, the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRIDAY, Feb. 12 Numerous petitions were pre- sented against the Catholic Claims, among which were ; three by Mr. Hart Davis, most numerously signed, from the inhabitants of Bristol, a » d one by Mr. Peel from the University of Oxford. Mr. G. Rose could never consent to give the Catholics any share in the legislation of the country. Sir Henry Hardinge presented the Army Estimates, Which were ordered to be printed. The House having resolved into Committee of Supply, the Chancellor of the Exchequer moved that the sum of 28,046,60W. be granted for the payment of Exchequer Bills— Agreed to. The Chancellor of the Exchequer then moved that 392,000;. be granted for building Churches and other public works.— Agreed to. On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, 4 millions were granted for unappropriated grants. Mr. Feel having moved the order of the day for the House resolving into a Committee on the Catholic Asso- ciation Bill, the clauses were read, and some of them underwent discussion. The whole of the clauces of the Bill having been gone through, the House resumed, and the Report was or- dered to be considered on Monday.— Adjourned. UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.— Forty- two Mem- bers of Convocation have resolved to form a Committee for attaining the re- election of . Mr. Peel— Seventy- eight other Members have resolved " to adopt such measures as may appear most effectual to secure the election of a proper Representative for this University." A private letter from Oxford, dated 11th, informs us, that Mr. Peel is to resign on the20th instant, and the Dean and Canons of Ch. Ch. finding the general feeling of the University to be against him, have now given up their intention of proposing him to the Members of Convocation for re- election. The election, according to custom, will not take place until a fortnight or three weeks after the day of resignation by the former member. No one has yet been decidedly fixed upon, but the Mar- quis of Chandos, Sir R. Inglis, and Sir W. Heathcote, are talked of. This we can assert with confidence, that the University of Oxford will return a strictly Protestant Member. The Rev. J. A. Cramer, M. A. of Christ Church, and the Rev. William Mills, B. D. Fellow of Magdalen College, are candidates for the Public Orator- ship, vacant by the death of the Rev. W. Crowe, B. C. L. PREFERRED.— The Rev. William Mousley. M. A. on his own petition, to the Vicarage of Cold Ashby, Northamptonshire, vacant by the death of the Rev. John Mastin The Rev. John James, M. A. Vicar of Southwick, Northamptonshire, to the Prebendary or Canonry of Peterborough, vacant by the death of one Rev. Jos. Parsons. ON Friday the 6th instant James Cochrane, Cawan Taylon John Henry Smith, Thomas Messiter, Robert Blencowe, and Henry Joseph Smith, Esquires, were called to the Bar by the Honorable Society of the Inner Temple. BATH, Feb. 13.— THE election of a Member for this city, ( Lord Brecknock having vacated his scat by accepting office as one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty) being appointed to take place this morn- ing, at the Guildhall, his Lordship was proposed by Al- derman Anderdon, and Gen. Palmer was next proposed by Alderman Crook: on casting up the votes, the num- bers being found equal ( 13 each), a double return was the consequence— The citizens of Bath will wait with anxious expectation the result of this extraordinary case. A new writ, it is expected, will be issued forthwith. BRISTOL, Thursday, Feb. 12.— The meeting to petition against the Catholic claims took place this day in Queen- square, when it was supposed that ltd, 000 persons assembled. Among the crowd it is thought there might be from 150 to 200 Catholics. Alder- man Daniel took the chair, and Mr. Sheriff Walker pro- posed the petition, Mr. Arthur Chichester speaking in favour of it. Mr. Charles Elton and Mr. Arthur Palmer spoke on the other side, and an amendment was proposed, but the petition was carried by a very great majority, supposed to be of 100 to 1. The speeches could not well be heard, as the meeting was most tumultuous, but the arguments used were a " thrice- told tale." IRISH PEERAGE.— In the House of Lords yesterday, the Committee of Privileges sat upon the petition of Lord Castlemain against the return of Lord Dunally, as one of the Representative Peers of Ireland, contending that he himself ought to be returned The further consideration of the case was postponed till Tuesday. On the Royal Exchange yesterday afternoon, there were more sellers than buyers of Bills of Exchange on the Continent, and the consequence has been, an ad- vance in the rates of Foreign Exchanges. ROADS.— We have the following observations forwarded to us by a person, who acts as a commissioner on several turnpike trusts, and is desirous of ascertaining where the money entrusted to his superintendance, is most beneficially and efficiently expended, that the sys- tem there observed, may be more generally adopted, There scarcely ever was known a winter in which the goodness of the roads was so much put to the test as at present, particularly in the chalk districts ; for wherever the chalk has not been effectually preserved from wet by a regular uniform covering of broken stone, it has ex- paneled with the late frost, and the road has been com- pletely destroyed. Coach and Waggon Proprietors should acquaint the Commissioners in what part of the different roads the obstruction to travelling from this cause has taken place, as they would then be able to judge whether a proper system of road- making has been practised, or whether a system of cobling and patching prevails, such as formerly pervaded the whole kingdom. The Surveyor who understands his duty will never throw in flints or other material to fill up a hole or rut, because, by so doing, the road becomes of unequal thick- ness ; as perhaps the very next foot to the hole or rut may not have a covering of more than an inch, when the rut may have six or eight inches put into it to fill it up, the inevitable consequence of which must be that the wet will penetrate into the thin parts of the road, and it will all be blown up by the frost, and the even surface of the whole must be destroyed. Travelling will be more effectually facilitated by a smooth and even road, protected from the effect of wet and frost, than by levelling hills and filling up vallies. The substratum of chalk on the great western road ex- tends from Basingstoke to near Bridport. Which part of this distance has received the most injury from frost ? Let this question be answered by the coach and waggon proprietors, and then it will be seen which trust is best maintained, and how in future the evil may bo remedied by adopting a better system. That a road on a chalk foundation may be preserved from wet, and conse- quently be uninjured by frost, no one who has ever tra- velled over Mr. M'Adam's roads can be ignorant. MARRIED.] On Tuesday morning, at St. George's Church, Montague Cholmeley, Esq. Member for Gran- tham, atxl eldest son of Sir Montague Cholmeley, Bart, to Lady Georgians Beau clerk, daughter of the late, and sister to the present Duke of St. Alban's, The ceremony was performed by the Rev.
