THE TRUE Dr. Steers's Opodeldoc, PILOM its penetrating Quality, is found decidedly superior to any other external Appli cation jn promoting the natural Circulation when in a torpid State, arising from Cold or other Causes, and in iving Vigour to the Parts affected. When promptly rid copiously rubbed in, it cures Rheumatism, Chil blains, the Cramp, Sprains and Bruises, & c. If dissolved, and applied on the first appearance of Chilblains, it prevents their breaking.

The Cayenne Lozenge has been found of or eat utility to such Persons as are frequently in the habit of speak- ing in public; they may therefore be advantageously taken in the Senate, at the Bar, and in the Pulpit, and the highest testimony in the Musical World has been advanced in their favour, especially in those cases, where, from the constant use of the voice, or the influence of a humid atmosphere, the membranes have become relaxed, and diminished in their tone. These Lozenges are also recommended as a stimulus, during' Field Sports; they are refreshing" and prevent sore Throats, Hoarseness, & c. to those who are unaccus- tomed to exposure in the morning-, before the dew has passed off', and in moist and foggy evenings.

THE GERMINATIVE LIQUID is a powerful Specific for producing a new Growth of Hair, by stimulating the Action of the Vessels supplying the Roots, aud inducing their firm Adhesion to the Skin. THE MOELLINE is an Extract of the most pene- trating and effective Principles, of such oleaginous Substances of the Vegetable and Animal Kingdoms, as long Experience has proved to be the most beneficial in maintaining the Beauty and Luxuriance of the Hair; added tothese Properties; it i » a very grateful Perfume, and of an excellent Quality for Dressing and Curling the Hair, much superior to Pomatum or the Oils in Use for that Purpose. HENDRIE'S PRESERVATIVE TOOTH POW- DER, and AROMATIC TINCTURE, have been long used in Highly Fashionable Circles, and are recom- mended hy them as the most Effectual and Agreeable Dentifrices.

BUTLER'S CAJEPUT O POD EL- DOC.— Csijepul Oil, which is Ihe hasiH of tlii Opodeldoc, has been lony esteemed on the Continent, as a refmedy for Chilblains, Chronic Rheumatisui, Spasmodic Affections, Palsy, Stiffness, and Knlarw- e. nient of the Joints, Sprains, Bruises, ami Deafness; and the experience of late years, in Rnoland, proves that it merits the high character given of it hy the most eminent iii the Profession, in those obstinate com- plaints. Being* combined in the form of Opodeldoc, it is rendered more penetrating-, and consequently much more efficacious as an external application.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. An immense number of Petitions against granting further concessions to ( he Roman Catholics were presented in both houses on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.— Some were also presented in l'a'Vour of concession. In the House of Lords, on Friday, the Earl of W INFHILSFA presenled ( he peti( ion agreed ( o at Penenden Heath, against concessions to the Catliol fcsi and which was signed by about 90,000 of the inhabitants of Kent.— The noble earl, with ( he Earl of Falmouth, and I . ol d Bexley, ably supported the prayer of the petitioners. In ( he House of Commons, on Friday, Mr. Peel presented a petition from the Chancellor, Master and Scholars, of the University of Oxford, against the Catholic Claims. He felt himself bound to state that the opinions expressed in the petition were couched in stronger terms than ( hose used on a former occasion, and ( hat the majority in the passing of ( he petition was greater than heretofore — Mr. BUANSBY COOPER expressed his disappointment at the change in the views of Ministers, and particularly in that of Mr. Peel ; as to securities, he felt very considerable doubt and difficulty, and he was determined, in every Constitutional way, to prevent the introduction of Ca( holics in( o either house of parliament. MONDAY. Both Houses of Parliament were wholly occupied ( his evening in receiving Petitions, chiefly against Catholic Emancipation.— In the House of Peers, Lord Colchester expressed himself strongly against further concessions to the Roman Catholics, and called upon ( he Ministry to dissolve the Parliament, in order that the opinion of the people might be fairly taken upon ( he question. ctje Salopian journal.

MY BROTHER PROTESTANTS, Severe domestic calamity has prevented, and for some time must prevent my attendance in the House of Peers \ but the awful character of the crisis yvhich has arrived will not allow me to be entirely inert. It is the art of the friends of the popish cause to ti? y to persuade the public that the question is not of a iigious character. If it be not, why vvas tt|^ B6us,^ ipf Brunswick called to the ' throne of these realms?, It was zo preserve ovr reUn> on. By the the King, he is bound to preserve it, and Ka declares to. us that such is his duty and determination : 1 have no doubt it is both.— To such men as the puke of Wellington and Mr. Peel, no man would impute treachery, or want of respect to the King; they are incapable of either; but from what has fallen from each, 1 cannot but consider our King but as a much distressed man. The Duke of Wellington says, the grant of Catholic Emancipation, as it is Called, has obtained his approbation since July or August last; biit that he obtained the King's assent to propose it to parliament a very short time only previous to the commencement of the session. Who can doubt, who knows what the King's coronation oath is, that such assent lias most reluctantly been given ? Mr. Peel tells us how anxious he was that the ministry should be united on the subject. Is it too much to conclude that the threat, declared or implied, of the resignation of the whole ministry, enforced, if it may be so expressed, with reference to our Kinff, his unwilling assent to such a measure ? My Protestant brethren, 1 apply to you as Christians, as independent Britons: rescue your sovereign and this free country from the foulest disgrace that can befall this Protestant island ; rescue vo. ur King from ^ state by which the succession to the thronefin the House of Brunswick, ere long, must be endangered. I address myself, not to infidel liberalists, not to party sectarians, but to the honest and conscientious fol- lowers of Luther and of Calvin, of ail sorts and descriptions, who value their religion as their most precious inheritance. The question is not One of conscience, as to the papists. They possess, God forbid but they should, every freedom of conscience. I call on you to come forth-- to, awake from your trainee and your lethargy, and not to allow them to deprive our brethren in Ireland of the freedom which we grudge not to themselves. Your time, however, is short; your zeal £ nd exertion should be in pro- portion. To use Scriptural yvordson such an occasion I cannot think unfit,; 1 would say, therefore, " Noyv is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation." If you awake not from your slumbers, Protestantism will soon be extirpated from Ireland; and then what will happen? Fear, nothing but fear, not personal, but political and ministerial, now counsels concession of power to the papists. Is there one man living who can doubt, that, when they have got, that power, the same influence of fear will move with redoubled force, and very shortly ? for the weight of falling bodies increases every moment during their fall, and popery will be the established religion in Ireland. WjlLtliat give strength or unity to Britain ? Thef yv li^ f tfca re nothing for religion will say that, providcihyeftt. b is maintained, and the majority are satisfied, ! re- ligion prevails in Ireland is of little moment; but the mass of the British public know better w hat? Is their duty and what their real interest. The British public know that it is pure religion only which can exalt a nation, and secure to it the character, without which liberty is licentiousness, and never can be preserved. We know that national prosperity and Protestantism are coeval; that they have been born and have flourished together; we may well believe, for we cannot doubt, that in their death they would not be divided. It is not one description of Protestants, it is every description that is alike interested in resisting the return of popery. True it is, that, in times past, before Protestantism exister', the instinctive character of Britons displayed itself even in popish times. The act of Magna Charta— the deeds of Cressy, Poictiers, and Agincourt, took place in popish times; but Protestantism had not then shown itself. Britain seems to have had, at all times, within herself the germ of freedom. The head and glory, as she has long been, of the Protestant World, must have had within herself principles of vitality not to lie found elseyvhere, or the fruit would never have been so rich and luxuriant. And shall yve noyv cease to glory in being the first Protestant nation in - the world ? Shall we abandon our brethren in Ireland to. the1 tender mercies of their popish countrymen? Forbid it, British Protestants,— forbid it, shame, if not principle! We are told the expense in Ireland will be less ; are we indeed to be thought so contemptible a nation of calculating shopkeepers, as to value our religious liberties and privileges by the pounds they cost? They who use such language may disgrace, them- selves by so doing; but, my Fr jtestant countrymen, you will not subject yourselves to such a disgrace. Let us preserve our true British hearts, unbiassed by fear, uninfluenced by base selfishness. " Guard we out hearts, religion keep in view, To ancient morals, ancient maxims, liue." Our ancient rival may despire such principles, but let us remember we are Britons. " For French at heart, tho' victory crown'd our brow, Low at our feet tho' prostrate nations bow, Wealth gild our cities, commerce crowd our shore, London may shine, but Britain is no more." My countrymen, now or never is the time for you to declare yourselves, and prove yourselves true to your King, your Country, and your God. Feb. 13,1829. K EN YON. They have fled from their posts— who would stoop to deplore them, Unfaithful to God, to their monarch, and you? Let the Prdtestant flag be unfurled before them,' Surrouuded by patriots fearless and true. That symbol of freedom has braved the foul weather In days not less troubled with danger and g- loom ; And, though its false guardians have marched off together, It never shall bend to the black cross of Rome. Noby the blood of our fathers, we swear it! That blood showered freely on liberty's shrine; And the lily- lipped craven afraid to declare it ' Let him cringe to the duke in the enemy's line. Away with cold friends! when we want their assistance We'll send them a message by oily- tongueel Peel; But now, when the word is " determined resistance," Every heart, ay, and hand, must be steady as steel. There is still a band in the front rank of polities Corruption endeavours to scatter in vain, Who will not with liberal falsehood and folly mix, Nor turn, re- turn, and turn again.

For the Salopian Journal. With that disregard of truth which characterizes him, Mr. Watton has fabricated a " crazy" lie relative, to the presentation of my petition to the House of Commons. Pity for the paltry wretch induces me to be merciful to him ; for he must be aware, that when lie so maliciously applied the term " crazy " he was exposing himself to a reference to hereditary feelings that have already sunk more than one individual.

The City of Bristol meeting, con vV^ eu, > by * the Mayor, on Thursday last, was attended byt. noteless than from 20,000 to 25,000 persons; it yvas'held in Queen Square ; the inhabitants of each parish marched in regular order to the place of meeting, headed by their clergymen and principal residents, whose endeavours were ably supported by the Rev. Mr. Thorpe and several other Dissenting Ministers. The enthusiasm was unbounded; and the petitions against granting further concessions to the Roman Catholics yvcre carried bv a majority of at least 100 to l.— The parishes of Bristol have also petitioned separately.— May their brilliant example be uni versally followed ! A meeting of the Freemen and Protestant In- habitants of Dublin, convened by the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, took place on Friday last in Dublin. It yvas held in the spacious lawn attached to Tyrone House, and was attended by more than seven thousand of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Citizens of Dublin. The speeches and res-. » Iu ions were adapted to the present; crisis; and an Address to the Pro- testants of . England was unanimously . agreed to; which, we regret to say, a pressure, of advertisements obliges us to postpone until next week ; when we will endeavour to do justice to this admirable display of Protestant principle. A Correspondent, in the Northern part of this County, says—" One universal feeling of disgust and indignation at the apostacy of Mr. Peel, ahd the recent attempt to force the Kings conscience, pervades all classes in the Northern part of Stafford- shire, from which such numerous petitions against the Roman Catholic Claims have been sent and entrusted chiefly to that person for presentation, as fhe avoyved champion of the Protestant J Cause. Measures are, however, now in contemplation, for tlie purpose of withdrawing them from his custody ( if not already presented), and of imploring his Majesty not to desert his faithful Protestant Subjects and the Constitution committed to his charge."— Staffordshire A dvertiser. THE PROTESTANT CAUSE. Much as the events of the last fortnight have tended to destroy all confidence in public men, and to deteriorate the religious and moral principles of the nation, we have had in Shreyvsbury abundant assurance that the feelings of the people towards our Protestant Institutions are still of the right sort: and we are proud to see the hands of our countrymen nobly employed in feigning their expression of opinion that our Protestant Constitution ought not to be changed. The humble Protestant, indeed, will have no direct interest in the British Constitution, if Roman Catholics are permitted to enter the Legis- lature : nor will but feyv of the higher classes have any direct interest there; and the power and influ- ence of that few will very soon be destroyed. Should tlie change take place, the parties that have been dis- couraging the efforts of their countrymen, will call for those efforts to support them in their day of adversity; but will they have any right to expect such support? We again say, they are cutting away the right arm of their strength— they are, in fact, committing a political suicide. It does not, however, follow that THE PEOPLE are to go that length with them. We are sure they will not. If their most natural leaders will not head them to the support of the Protestant Constitution, they will choose leaders for themselves : and while our Newcastles and our Eldons, our Chandoses, our Winchilseas, and our Kenyons, are in existence., leaders will not be wanting. Look at the examples of Bristol and of Dublin : and let us be cheered by the language that has already b? en used by our uncompromising defenders in Par- liament., and which induces the belief^ that means will he taken to call up the Protestant voice of the whole kingdom. We are quite certain the means taken will be duly seconded ; and that the interests of the English and Irish Protestants will not be tamely sacrificed to the menaces and intrigues of the Irish Paphts, who are supported and encouraged by the domestic enemy of every description, and by the artifices and the gold of the Continental Papists and the Trans- Atlantic Republicans. Let our country- men look to it: there is a deep- laid conspiracy on the part Of all those nations that we have humbled in war, to attack and destroy us through the engines of Popery. May that arm be shivered that is lifted among us in aid of such a diabolical design ! We congratulate the country upon the declarations of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and of the Bishop of London, on Tuesday, as well as upon the previous declaration of fhe Bishops of Durham, Bath, and Exeter. The debate in the House of Lords of that day was also rendered interesting and encouraging by fhe noble and manly speeches of the Duke of Rutland and of the Earl of Longford. The last- mentioned Peer is brother- in- law to the Duke of Wellington ; and hear what this Noble Earl says : — " He had lived all his life in Ireland; he was acquainted with the character of its inhabitants, and with almost every local circumstance that could lead to a ju* t conclusion on the subject. Mo one was, no one could be, more deeply and aftec- tionately interested in its harmony, peace, good- will, and pro- sperity." There was no sacrifice which he should think too g- eat for the purchase of such objects. But he could not believe that they were to be purchased by the means said to be hi the contemplation of Government. He most conscientiously declared that, instead of proving the harbinger of peace and concord, they would, in the first piaee, excite an ungovernabie temper among the more factious portion of the Catholics, aft'ect the Protestants with apprehension and dismay, and, in the second place, lead to a desperate reaction. They would not open a door to conciliation, but they would open the sluice gates and tide ways of collision. It was the greatest innovation that had ever yet been operated in the Constitution of Eng. land. In whatever point of view it was considered, no man could regard it as otherwise than of the first- rate importance, and on whichever side a vote was given the heaviest responsi- bility attached. Mo man could say what might be the con- sequences of his vote. But there vvas this material distinction between voting for and voting against concession, that whereas the adverse decision could be re- considered, the favourable one was irrevocable. He entreated their Lordships to reficct on that awful attribute of irrevocability. This was not a common political proposition coming from the Administration in the ordinary course of a flairs--- such as a vote for the augmentation or diminution of the army, or any other insignificant matter of detail, but tlie greatest constitutional question that could be propounded ; and he must again say, that it was brought down most unexpectedly, and in a manner more calculated to create surprise than any important recommendation from Government that he ever remembered. The general Protestant Address and Petitions from the County of Salop have already obtained nearly 5000 signatures; and of these about 2000 have been affixed at our own office since Wednesday last. The Address and Petitions will be at Market Drayton for signature this day ; at Weni, to- morroyv ; at Whit- church, on Friday next; and at Newport, on Satur- day next. The counterparts will remain for signature at. the office of this Jouriial Until Saturday evening next.. We call upon our countrymen to second manfully fhe recommendations of the Earl of Winchilsea and L, ord Kenyon, whose admirable letters will be found in our present Journal, as will also other articles tending to show the true nature of that crisis at which yve are arrived, and of those measures which a recreant Ministry have now ill contemplation, but yvhich, we confidently trust, they will never be per mitted to force into execution. Ike Standard of Saturday last says—" A morning contemporary ( the Morning Journal) has with matchless ability ex- posed some part of the oppression practised upon our beloved Sovereign. If we are silent upon that sab ject, our first motive is reverence for our Prince, whose meanest dependant or least, regarded companion yve would molest for no consideration short of the salvation of the country. Our second motive, and that which distinguishes our case from that of our contemporary, is that %' c know too much. Should the sad necessity arise, however, we shall put into the hands of some Protestant Nobieman the grounds an impeachment, and the means of substantiating those grounds from the hands and from the oral evidence of some of the King's present Ministers." We informed the Public in our last iournal, that an Address was lying at an inn in this town for signa- ture. Lie it certainly did there, from Tuesday morn- ing to Thursday morning; and, in its then state, after the town had been placarded, every auxiliary hunted up in the Fair on Wednesday, and after a grand muster of the elite of the resident corps, it cut the following appearance: To the King's Most Excellent Majesty. May it please your Majesty. We, your Majesty's loyal subjects, inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Shrewsbury, in the county of Salop, humbly approach your Throne to offer our sincere thanks for your most gracious and benevolent Speech, which, we are of opinion, will prove the happiest communication that was ever made from the Throne of England, and which, by promoting harmony and unanimity, will place upon a still firmer basis the foundation of its own safety and prosperity. We are desirous of expressing our perfect confidence in the wisdom of Parliament, and of deprecating decidedly the formation of such Political Clubs and Societies of every denomination as may have a tendency to act as restraints upon the serious and impartial discussion of the Catholic Claims, which your Ma- jesty has graciously recommended to the set ions consideration of Parliament; also of declaring onr ardent attachment to your Royal Person and Family ^ and that you may continue to reign over us in peace and happiness for many years is our fervent hope.

ORMSBY GORE, ESQ. Porkington, Salop. A valuable dark brown waggon horse was stolen from the stable of Mr. Philip Hales, of Denson Farm, near Whitchurch, very early on Wednesday morning last, but the robbery being discovered soon after its perpetration, and a vigorous pursuit entered upon* the horse was tracked the same day through Pray ton. and Newcastle to Leek, where a fair was holding, and where the owner received it from Mr. jWlcey, tjhe dealer, to whom it had been sold an hqiju or two before> Mr. Sankey having suspicion;* Wt- tlvLmaiv had not come honestly by the horse, rtfjifeed'to pay the money into his hands, but, with great'projWtety, lodged it with the landlord of the Crown Inn, sfr that, in this case, the villain was properly served, and did not even get so much as the expenses of his journey. It ought, to be well known, that a stolen horse can be legally taken by the owner from any one without his refunding a farthing of the price paid by the person in whose possession he may find it. An engraving of the celebrated horse Flexible, by an eminent artist, from a painting by Mr. Gwynne, is now preparing as an embellishment for the Sporting Magazine. SIR, WHITEHALL, 10TH FEB. 18- 29.

Mr. Eaton £ 0 10 0 A Friend o 10 0 Mr. Wicksteed l o 0 By the last report of this schooll, it appears to be in debt to the amouut of £ 62. 9s. The annual subscriptions have fallen off considerably from various causes, yet the number of child- reu trained & taught therein continues nearly the same - There are 366 boys and girls receiving daily instructions under a competent Master and Mistress; and by the reports of the Visitors, order. and regularity, and good conduct, are preserved. — It cannot be necessary to say more, than that this school stands in need of support, in order to induce the benevolent who are blessed with the means to contribute to so good a pur- pose. host of the inn had no difficulty in perceiving that there was something radically wrong in the docu- ment; and it was accordingly dismissed to more ap- propriate quarters ! where it continued to lie during that day. On Thursday night, a lawyer and a translator of soles hawked it about the purlieus of the town 5 and what has since become of it, we have not thought it worth our while to enquire. It certainly is a most especial document to be placarded as the " Address from the Inhabitants of the Town and Cour. tp of Salop, in unison with His Majesty's senti- ments !" Let any person acquainted with Shrews- bury and its neighbourhood just look it over: and they will find subscribed to it the names of all the battered old hacks of party that have been yoked to the car of Radical Reform, under the patronage of Orator Hunt, Alderman Wood, & c. for years past ; and as all their concerns have hitherto broken down with them, and they are themselves spavined, wind- galled, and hotted, it seems they have now contrived to trap about half a dozen new leaders and drivers; who, we should imagine, begin, ere this, to think they have got traced with a precious team! and must be ready, with the fellow in the play, to ask themselves, " how the d 1 they got there ?" But, just look at their Address, and refer to forne of the names!— There is the Chairman and other Members of the Shrewsbury Hampden Club for Parlia mentary Reform deprecating decidedly the formation, of Political Clubs and Societies, and desirous of expressing their confidence in the wisdom of Parlia- ment ! And then come the followers of " Absolute Wisdom" with their declaration of ardent attachment to the King^ s Boyal Person ! These are the men, too, who, with their appropriate scribe, have been abusing us Brunswickers! Now really can gravity itself stand this? This beats Acabo; and he beat Old Nick ! To think that such persons, in the midst, too, of all their old neighbours, should have been so long- eared, would have been downright astonishing, but for the appropriate example of Messrs. Peel and Company, who have certainly fallen back upon a most goodly group of supporters". We certainly give them joy of each other, not doubting but this new partnership concern, like all the others that ever we remember the sarrie team yoked to, will upset, break down, or be driven off the road ! We hope, however, before the concern becomes defunct, the parties will get some village schoolmaster to translate their Ad dress into English; and also to write for them some decent Epitaph, to the following effect:— " Here lieth the remains of the several members of the loyal Hampden Club of Shrewsbury and its" neighbourhood, who, after labouring for many JOng years to procure a Radical Re- form of the Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland/ and to restrain within due limits the ov. ergrown and ruinous influ- ence of the Crown, humbly acknowledge, that, on a certain, day, in the month of February, in the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty- nine, ( due supplication luiving been made for us by the most puissant and excellent Prince Ilohenlohe and by the Rev. Michael Doyle, P. P. and full, free, and ampje Absolution' having bepn extended to us by the Tail of a Bull of His Holiness Pope Leo the Twelfth, whom Heaven preserve!) we at once were brought within the pale of the Ancient Faith, to a due sense of our manifold offences, and to a thankful and dutiful recantation of our past errors. We, therefore, humbly beg the prayers of all devout members of the Holy Roman Church," & c. ike. See. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR,— The loyal Address is not English; and of the few signatures obtained for it, some have been written on headless pieces of parchment carried and left about by two or three equally unfinished indi- viduals.

GEORGE ROBINS HAS the Pleasure to announce, that he is directed to SELL BY AUCTION, at the Mart in London, on Thursday, the 26th Day of February, 1829, at Twelve o'Clock, iu One Lot, an exceedingly valuable Property, with a View to a safe afid permanent Investment of Capital ; it compre- hends the GLEBE ESTATE, WITH A GENTEMANLY RESIDENCE, AND Offices, Pleasure and Kitchen Gardens, seated in a Park Meadow, gradually reclining to the Town, and in a Neighbourhood remarkable for its Sociability. There are corresponding Offices of every Description, and IMMENSE TITHE BARNS, together with about SIXTY- NINE ACRES OF . SUPERIOR LAND, in a high State of Cultivation, in the Occupation of Mr. Salter, a most respeetable Tenant, at a low Rent of £ 200 a Year. Also, BISHOP'S FARM, at Woodcock Hill, in the Occupation of W. Flower, Esq. at a Rental of £ 52 per Annum : and the GREAT TITHES OF THE WHOLE PARISH OF RICKMANSVVORTH, extending over a Domain of 10,000 Acres, of which SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES ARE RICH ARABLE AND MEADOW LAND. The Compactness of this Parish and the proverbial Convertability of the Soil would render it, even in Times ( happily gone by) when Agricultural Distress prevailed, a certain Source of secure and solid Income, aud necessarily, by Parity of Argument, now that the Sun shines propitiously on the Adventures of a Farmer, with the slow hut certain Effect necessarily resulting from the Corn Bill in View, it would indeed be difficult to snggesta more eligible Mode of employ- ing Capital. The Parish, it has already been observ- ed, includes 10,000 ACRES OF RICH LAND, divided into convenient Farms, Woods, and Commons, aud occupied by a most respectable Tenantry. The Property intended to be sold ( besides the Great Tithes upon Corn, Grain, Hay, Aftermath, and Clover) includes the Glebe ('' state. The Tithe was subject lo a very moderate Valuation, two Years since, made under Circumstances of great Depression, when the Result exceeded Fifteen Hundred Pounds a- Year, upon a most considerate Estimate. THE PRESENT REAL VALUE, INCLUDING THE GLEBE, EXCEEDS £ 2,100 PER ANNUM. The Estate is held for three Lives under the Bishop of London, subject to a Quit Rent of £ 27 a- Year, renewable according to Custom ; and the Reciprocity of Advantage is so manifest, that it will always insure a Renewal when a Life falls in. It is upon this Prin- ciple very confidently submitted as a solid and im- proving Source of Revenue, the more so, when if is remembered that its Approximation upon the neigh- l^ ourintr excellent Markets, and the ready Access to that of London for all its Produce, will always give it a commanding- Character.

The Entrance Hall communicates with a Morning Room 19 Feet by 21, and that w ith a Library 22 Feet by 19. and both with an Ealing Room 38 Feet by 23 Feet, also with a new back Stone Stair- case from the Basement Story to the Attics, on which back Slaircase there is a Water Closet for every Story, and Water is laid on to the highest Attics.

AN the cloud and the lightning are blent ou high, Ye tnixM in the gorgeous revelry. For there hung o'er those banquets of yore a gloom, A thought and a shadow of the tomb ; It jjii've to the Hme- noies an under tone, To ihe rose a colouring not iis own, To the breath of the myrtle a mournful power- Sadness aud Mirth! jc each had your dower? Ye met when the triumph swept proudly by, With Ihe Human engles through Ihe sky ! 1 know ihat e'eli then, in his hour of pride, The soul of Ihe mighty within him died, 1' lia! ihe void iu his bosom lay darkly still. Which the music of victory might never fill! Thou wert there, O Mirlh ! swelling on Ihe shout, Till ihe temples like echo- eaves rang out; Thine were the garlands, the sougs, the wine, All the rich voices in air were thine. The incense, the sunshine— but, Sadness ! thy part, Deepest of all, was the victor's liearl ! Ye meet at the bridal with flower and tear; Strangely and wildly ye meet by the bier! As the gleam from a sea- bird's while wing shed, Crosses Ihe storm iu its path of dread, As a dirge ineels the breeZe of a summer, sky— Sadness and Mirth ! so ye come and By ! Ye meet iu the poet's haunled breast— r Darkness aud rainbow alike its guest! When the treiilli of the violet is out in spring, When the woods with the wakening of music ting, O'er his dreamy spirils your currenls pass, Like shadow aud sunlight o'er mountain grass. When will your parting be, Sadness aud Mirlh ? Bright siremn and dark one! Oh ! never on eiiftli! Never while triumphs and tonlbs ait so near, While Qealh and l. ove walk Ihe same dim sphere ; While flowers unfold wheie ihe storm may sweep,' While Ihe heart of man is a soundless deep! But there smiles a land, O ye troubled pair! Where ye have no part in the summer air. Par from the breathings of changeful skies, Over Ihe sens and graves it lies, Where the day of ills lightning and cloud is done, Aud joy reigns alone, as the lonely sun ! THE FIRST AND LAST DINNER. and left before he would have pronounced that word, or told them not to break their necks. One, in par- ticular, abstained from using his inistoinary phrase, " this is a drop of good wine and another forbore to congratulate the friend who sat next him, because lie was accustonicd on such occasions to employ, figura- tive language, and talk of the holy nobse of matri- mony. Some fifteen years had now glided away since file fate of poor Rowland, and the ti n remained ; but the stealing hand of time had written sundry changes in most legible characters.— Raven locks had become grizzled— two or three heads had not ns many locks altogether as may be reckoned in a walk of half a mile along the Regent's Canal— one was actually covered with a brown wig— the crow's fret were visible in the corner of the eye-— good old port and warfit Madeira carried against hock, claret, red Burgundy, and champagne— stews, hashes, nnd ragouts, grew into favour—- erusls were rarely called for to relish the cheese after dinner— conversation was less boisterous, and it turned chiefly upon politics and the state of th<\ funds, or the value of landed property— apologies were made for coming in thick shoes aud warm stockings—-^ the doors and windows were more carefully provided with list and sand- bags — the fire more in request— and a quiet game whist filled up the hours that were wont to be devoted to drinkiilg, and riotous merriment. Two rubbers, a cup of coffee, and at home by eleven o'clock, was the usual cry, when the fifth or sixlh glass had gone round after the removal of the cloth. At parting, too, there was now a long cercmotiy in the hall buttoning up great- coats, tying on woollen- couifort fixing silk handkerchiefs over the mouth and up to the ears, and grasping' walking- canes to support un- steady feet. Their fiftieth anniversary Carrie, and death had indeed been busy. One had been killed by the overturning of the mail, in which he had taken his place itf order to lie present at the dinner, having purchased . an estate ; n Slinmputhshire,' and fet'friM thither with his family. Another had undergone the terrific operation for the stone, and expired beneath the knife— a third had yielded up a broken spirit two years after the loss of an only- surviving and beloved daughter— a fourth was carried off in a few days by cholera morbus— a fifth had breathed his last the very morning he obtained 11 judgment in his favour hy the Lord Chancellor, w hich had cost him his last shilling nearly to get, r. nd which, after a litigation of eighteen years, declared hits the rightful possessor of Twelve friends, much about the same age, and fixed, by their pursuits, their family connexions, and other local interests, as permanent inhabitants of the metropolis, agreed, one day when they were drinkiilg their wine nt the Star and Garter, at Rich- mond, to institute an annual dinner among them- selves, under the following regulations:— That they should dine alternately at each other's houses on the first and last day of the year; that the first bottle of wine uncorked at the first dinner, should he recorked and put away, to be drunk by him who should be the lust of their number ; that they should never admit a new member! that, when one died, eleven should meet, and when another should die, ten should meet, add so 611; and, when only one remained, he should, 011 those two days, dine by himself, and sit the usual hours at his solitary table; but the first time he so dined alone, lest it should be only one, he should then uncork the first bottle, and in the first glass drink to the memory of all who were gone. There was something original and tfhimS'rCal in the idea, and it was eagerly embraced. They were all in the prime of life, closely attached by reciprocal friendship, fflnd of social enjoyments* and looked forward to their social meetings with unalloyed anticipations of pleasure. The only thought, indeed, that could have darkened those anticipations was one not very likely to intrude itself at this moment, that of the hapless wight who was destined to uncork the first bottle at his lonely repast. It was high summer when this frolic compact was entered into; and as their pleasure yacht skimmed along the dark bosom of the Thames, on their return to Loudon, they talked about nothing but their first and last feasts of ensuing years. Their imagina- tions ran riot with a thousand gay predictions of ft stive merriment. They wantoned in conjectures of what changes time would operate : joked each other upon their appearance, when they should meet,— some hobbling upon cratches after 11 severe fit of the gout,— others poking about with purblind eyes, which even spectacles could hardly enable to dis- tinguish the alderman's walk'in a haunch of venison — some with portly round bellies and tiuy little brown wigs, and others decently dressed out in a nice suit of fiioiirhhVg for the death of a grcat- granil- daughtcr, or a great- gfeat- gvand- daughter. Palsies, wrinkles, toothless gums, stiff hams, and poker knees, wi re handled about in Sallies of exuberant mirth, and appropriated, first to one and then < 0 another, as a group of merry children would have distributed golden palaces, Hying chariots, diamond tables, and chairs of solid pearl, under the fancied possession of a magician's wand, which could transform plain brick, and timber, and humble mahogany, into such costly treasures. " As for you, George," exclaimed one of the twelve, addressing his brother- in- law, " 1 expect I shall see you as dry, withered, and shrunken as an old eel- skin, yoii mere ohfc'lde of a man !" and he accompanied the words with a hearty slap 011 the shoulder. George Fortescue was leaning carelessly over the side of the yacht, laughing the loudest of any at the conversation which had been carried 011. The sudden manual salutation of his brother- in- law threw him off his balance, and in a moment he was over- hoard . Pe perished ! and they now pursued the remainder of their Course to London, in mournful silence, with the corpse of fiifii who had commenced the day of pleasure with them in the fulness of health, 6f spirits, and of life! Amid their severer grief, tliey could not but reflect how soon one of the joyous twelve had slipped out of the little festive circle. The months rolled 011, and told December tame with all its cheering round of kindly greetings and merry hospitalities: and with it came a softened recollection of poor Fortescue ; eleven of the twelve asiemblcd on the last day of the year, and it was impossible not to feel their loss as tlicy sat down to dinner. Tile very irregularity of the table, five 011 one side, and oiify fiitlf on the other, forced the melancholy event upon their memory. Several years had elapsed, and our eleven friends kept up their double anniversaries, as they might aptly enough be called, with scarcely any perceptible change. But, alas f theft came one dinner at last, which was darkened fiy a calamity they never ex- pected to witness, for 011 that very day, their friend, companion, brother almost, was banged! Yes! Stephen Rowland, the wit, the oracle, the life of their little circic, had, on the morning of that day, for- feited his life upon a public scaflold, for having made one single, stroke with his pen in a wrong place. In other words, a bill of exchange which passed into his band for ±' 700, passed out of it for £ 1700; he having drawn the important little prefix to the hundreds, and the bill being paid at ( lie banker's without examining the words of it. The forgery was discovered,— brought home to Row land,— and though the greatest interest was used to obtain a remission of th<' fatal penalty ( Ihe particular female favourite of the prime minister himself interfering), poor Stephen Rowland was hanged. Every body pitied him ; and nobody could tell why he did it. lie was not poor; he was not a gambler; he was uot a speculator ; but phrenology settled it. The organ of acquisitiveness was discovered in his head, after his execution, as large as a pigeon's egg. He could not help it- It would be injustice to the ten to say, that even wine, friendship, anil a merry season, could dispel the gloom which pervaded this dinner. It was agreed before that they should not allude lo the distressing and melancholy theme ; and having thus interdicted the only thing . which really occupied all their thoughts, the natural consequence was, that silent contemplation took the place of dismal discourse, and they separated long before midnight. A11 embarrass- ing restraint, indeed, pervaded the little conversation which grew up at intervals. The champagne was not in good order, but no one liked to complain of its being ropy. A beautiful painting of Vandyke, which was in the room, became a topic of discussion. They who thought it was hung in a bad place, shrunk from saying so ; nnd not one ventured to speak of the e. re< ution of that great master. Their host was hav- ing the front of the house repaired, and al any other time lie would have cautioned them, when they went away, as the night \ Vag very dark, to take care of the scuffold ; but no— they might have stumbled right ten thousands a- year,— ten minutes after, he was no more, A sixth had perished by the hand of a mid- night assassin, who broke into his house for plunder, and sacrificed the owner of it, as he grasped con- vulsively a bundle of Exchequer bills, which the robber was drawing from beneath his pillow, where he knew they were every night placed for better securify. Four little old men, of Withered appearance and decrepit walk, with cracked voices, and rayless eyes, sat down, by the mercy of Heaven ( as they themselves tremulously declared), to celebrate* for the fiftieth time, the first day of the year; to observe the frolic compact, which, half a century before, they had entered into at the Star and Garter at Richmond ! Eight were in their graves! The four that remained were on its confines. Yet they chirped cheerily over their glass, though they could scarcely carry it, to their lips if more than half full; and cracked their jokes, though they articulated their words with diffi- culty, and heard each other with still greater difficulty. They mumbled, they chattered, they laughed ( if a sort of strangled wheezing might be called a faugh'.; and when the wines sent their icy blood in warmer pulse through their veins, they talked of their past as if it were but a yesterday that had slipped by them,— and of their future, as if it were a busy ceritnry that lay before them. They were just the number for a quiet rubber of whist; and for three successive years they had sat do » n to one. The fourth came, and then their rub- ber was played with an open dummy: a fifth, and whist was 110 longer practicable; two could play only at eribbage, aud cribbage was the game. But it was little more than the mockery of play. Their palsied, hands could hardly hold, or their fading- sight distinguish, the cards, while their torpid facul- ties made them doze between each deal. At length came the LAST dinner ; and the survivor of the twelve, upon whose head four score and ten winters had showered their snow, sat down to his unsocial meal. It so chanced that it w as in his house, and at his table, they had celebrated the first. In his cellar, too, had remained, for eight and fifty years, the bottle tlicy had then uncorked, re- corked, aud which he was, that day to uncork again. It stood beside him. With a feeble and reluctant grasp he took the " frail memorial" of a youthful vow; and for a moment memory was faithful to her oIKce. She threw open the long vista of buried years ; and his heart travelled through them all : their lusty and blithesome spring,— their bright and fervid summer, — their ripe and temperate autumn,— their chill, but not too frozen winter. He saw, as in a mirror, hoVv, one by one, the laughing companions of that merry hour, at Richmond, had dropped into eternity. He felt all the loneliness of his condition ( tor he had eschewed marriage, and in the veins of no living creature ran a drop of blood whose source was in his own); and as lie drained the glass which he had filled, " to the memory of those who were gone," the tears slow ly trickled down the deep furrows of his aged- face. He had thus fulfilled one part of his vow, and he prepared himself to discharge the other, by sitting the usual number of hours at Ins desolate table. With a heavy heart he resigned himself to the gloom of his own thoughts— a lethargic sleep stole over him— his head fell upon his bosom— confused images crowded into his mind- he babbled to himself— was silent— and when his servant entered the room, alarmed hy a noise which he heard, lie found his master stretched upon the Carpet at the foot of the easy- chair, out of which he had slipped in an apoplectic tit. He never spoke again, uor once < ii> ened his eves, though the vital spark was not extinct till ( he following day. And this was the LAST DINN. R!— Blackwood's Magazine'. the Whigs and the Tories ; to whatever extent they may act together on the Catholic Uuestiou, the majority of thei.-; we believe, generally supports the Tories. The Irish Members, instead of giving, on a balance, a considerable number of totes in general polities to the Tory or Ctiureh party, or at any rate of neutralizing each other's vote, will give a large number of votes to the opposite party. In reality, a new borough interest will be created, which will command a large number of $ otes thiit are now independent aud divided ones. if eighty Irish members divide themselves equally between the VThijis^ iid the Tories, they on a division make 116 difference in the majority ; but if fifty vote with the Tories and thirty with the Whigs, they give, ill a division, twenty votes to the relative strength of the Tories If, instead of voting fifty for the Tories, and thirty for the Whigs, they all vote for the latter,' this will make a difference to the Tories of one hundred votes. We are inclined to believe, that the removal of the disabilities will take in effect one hundred votes from the Tory or Protestant party. Granting that at the outset this party will have the advantage of being in office, there will be 011 the one side, iu respect of controlled votes, the Members for the Treasury, and a part of the Tory boroughs; on the other side, there will be the one hundred members of the Catholic Church, those for the Whig boroughs, and those for a part of the Tory ones. The Tory, or Church party, will have such a large majority of controlled votes against it, that we cannot see how it can possibly maintain itself in office. If this party cannot now command a real majority, a difference of one hundred votes against it will have the most fatal consequences. If the Catholic party gain office, there will then be on the one side the TYeasury boroughs, the Whig ones, those of the Catholic Church, and a part of the Tory ones; while on the other, there will only be a part of the Tory boroughs". . Our belief is, that the change will expel the Tory or Protestant party from power, aud will make the Catholic party the ruling one."

OXFORD PETITION To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled, the humble petition of the Chancellor, Masteri, and Scholars of the University of Oxford, Showeth, That your petitioners again tnost respectfully approach your honourable house, earnestly beseech- ing you to maintain the best interests of the empire against the claimants of what is called Catholic emancipation. During a long succession of year's your petitioners have expressed their sentiments on this momentous subject, plainly and shortly, because the question had been abundantly argued, and because many favourable decisions of parliament appeared to justify their hope of a similar result. On the same principle, they still abstain from protracted statements and obtrusive reasoning. But they feel themselves bound to deprecate all further concession of political power to persons professing the religion of the church' of Rome. Above all, they trust, that the laws whereby Roman Catholics are excluded, as from the throne, so also from Parliament and the Privy Council, will be held most sacred and inviolable. This your petitioners implore, with all submission and deference, but with a deep' and unshaken conviction of its absolute necessity to uphold the principles, and to preserve the existence, of our free Protestant con- stitution. And your petitioners will ever prav, See. & c. Given at our House of Convocation, under our common seal, this 5tli day of February, in the year of our Lord 1829. the trading politician, sell yourself for what you can but never hereafter will yon carry Oxford with you into the market.

'' . " Let the voice of Protestantism be heariWrom one end of the empire to the other. Let the sound of it echo from hill to hill, and vale to vale. Let'the tables of the Houses of Parliament groan under the weight of your petitions, and let your prayers reach the foot of the throne ; and though the great body of your degenerate senators arc prepared to sacrifice, at the shrine of treason and rebellion, that constitution for which our ancestors so nobly fought and died, yet I feel confident that our gracious Sovereign, true to the sacred oath which he has taken upon the altars of our country to defend our, constitution and our religion from that church which is bent upon their destruction, will not turn a deaf ear to tiie prayers and supplica- tions of his ioval Protestant subjects. « I have the honour to bej'^ itlr evory respect, " Your humble and devoted servant, " WlNCHILSEA AND NOTTINGHAM. « London, Feb. 9, 1829." Roman Catholic Emancipation. There ! fte a certain number of persons, who affeet to think there never could any harm arise from Roman Catholics being admitted into Par- liament. We, therefore, beg the public attention to the following sketch of what the House of Commons would soon be, if the measure about to be proposed by His Majesty's Ministers were to be adopted, which God forbid !— " To those who laugh at danger, hud aver that the Protestants will always be far too powerful for the Catholics, it w ould be very idle in us to say any thing. We must, however, observe, that without proof that the Protestants w ill always act together against the Catholics, the averment of such people is of no value. They do not, and they cannot, offer such proof. The Protestants are divided against each other. A very powerful part of them does not belong to the Church, aud conceives that it has a deep interest in weakening and htnubling it. The battle will* be fought, not amidst the community at large, but principally ill the House of Commons. In this House, as far as appearances go, the Catholic* at the first moment will have eighty or one hundred members ; includ ing those whom they may get elected in England, we think, they may without much difficulty, have one hundred. These Catholic Members will be practically as much under the selection and con- trol of the Catholic Church, as the members of any close borough are under the selection ahd control of the proprietor of the borough. They will form an indivisible party. The rest of the House, overlooking subdivisions, will be divided into two hostile parties of Protestants. There is not the least ground for hoping that these two parties will act together against the Catholic party; but it is morally certain, that one of them will combine itself with the Catholic oue. This party in polities, will be as bitterly opposed to Protestantism as the Catholic Members ; its hopes of office; its general interests, individual and collective, will centre on the political ascendancy of Catholicism over Protestantism ; and of course it w ill be as anxious to strengthen the former, and weaken the latter, as the Catholics themselves. How will the case stand iu respect of party power ? It must be remembered that the Irish Members, who will be expelled from Parliament and replaced by Catholics, divide themselves generally between The noble exhortation' winch stands above we have reprinted from our last Journal, iu order that it may- be gotten by heart and incorporated with the minds of our readers. Let those who have the power inscribe it upon the walls;— in ^ very place of public resort; let them teach it to' tiVeir servants and de pendants, and inculcate it upon the ht. ir!-; of their children, for never from the pen of uninspired man proceeded an exhortation., more seasonable or more solemnly authoritative. The following statement we copy from The Standard.-— " The King and the people have been betrayed— basely and wickedly betrayed; but, under God's Providence, the people are still strong enough to right themselves and rescue their Sovereign ; and they have, in the writer of the letter which stands at the head of this article— 111 their Newcastlcs, Chaudoscs, Eldons, Farnhanrs, Kenyons— leaders, w hom if they follow faithfully, they must follow to victory. " Let every county, city, town, parish, village, hamlet— nay, if there be any who arc debarred from petitions through these channels, let every family address the throne— to assure the Sovereign of liis strength, and to implore him to dismiss that House of Commons, the constitution of which has encouraged those who are his and his people's hired servants, to trample upon the rights of both. The Protestant, who at. this tremendous crisis withholds his suffrage, be he unto ye, oil people of England, as Peel or as Dawson. " We say that the King and the people have been betrayed : we repeat it, and pledge ourselves to the proof. The King— but we shall continue to respect the privacy of his domestic circle, as we did when, not a year and a half ago, we rejected the foul and beastly libels upon that circle, urgently tendered to us by some of our then advisers, and of his Majesty's present Ministers : in this, however, reverence for the King alone restrains us. His Majesty SHALL KNOW ALL. The King, We say, knew nothing of an arrangement among his servants, which was begun in August, until last Thursday week. Then, and not before, the accursed scheme for overturning our con- stitution was laid before him— supplication and me- nace were alternately tried, and at length he yielded, with many tears. Is this Prince one whom his people ought to desert, and to their own ruin desert him ? Is this a Prince whom his people ought to leave without other advice than that which he is to receive through Peel and Company ? Let every English Protestant ask himself— does he believe that the Home Secretary honestly communicated lo the King that which he knows to be the sense of the people, when lie advised him to recommend measures out- rageously violating that sense ? If he does, let him turn to the part which has been acted towards the people of England— have they been warned of the measures in contemplation?— has that decent interval tor meditation, which it is common and just to allow to men before asking their concurrence in matters the most indifferent, been allowed to them, ijeford calling uiioii them to consent to the destruction of ( heir Con- stitution; No: when Earl Grey declared, in 1827, that he would be no party to carrying the popish question by " a conspiracy," he prophesied, if indeed he did not suggest, the course taken by Mr. Peel— it is a conspiracy marked by all the most odious attri- butes of secrecy and fraud. letters written iu De- cember positively disclaiming a design formed in August— county meetings deprecated, upon the ground of half- official declarations that they would he unnecessary— free communication with the heads of the Whig and popish faction, who were still, how- ever, in public treated as political enemies— the most guarded secrecy observed, nay, gross dissimulation practised towards the heads of the Protestant party, while they, in public, were ostentatiously claimed as allies— the apostate bishops and dignitaries consulted — the faithful neglected— the Popish press abundantly furnished with information— the Protestant press not only kept in the dark but misled; in one word, nothing that meanness and consciousness of a danger- ous and unpopular design could suggest, omitted to withhold from the people not merely knowledge but a ground for suspecting the iniquitous scheme in hand. >; W," « By the way in which thetnselve « i': ltaye been treated, the people of England • mtWtus^ 1fte^ ftauds that have been practised upon their SSvereigh, and they must feel that it is a duty to Aim— as high and as sacred as the duty which they owe to themselves and to their children, to let him know their firm resolution to stand by the constitution to which lie owes his crown, and which is to them the charter by which they hold all the blessings that distinguish the condition of an Englishman from that of a Spaniard or a Moor. Let them, one and all, respectfully con- vey this knowledge to their King, and VICTORY IS SURE." Mil. PEEL. Mr. Peel published in Monday's Courier his letter to the Vice- Chancellor of Oxford. We do not hesitate to say that Mr. Peel himself published it, because as no copy was permitted to be taken at Oxford, nobody else could. With the letter appears the following paragraph, written also, we presume, by the Home Secretary :— 14 We have received ibis morning a copy ( which we l ave 110 doubl is ainhenlic) of the letter which Mr. Peel addressed to the Vice- Chancellor, tendering his absolute resignation of his seal as member for the University of Oxford, aud not, as our correspondent had fnntierly staled 10 us, offering conditionally to resign. This letter will he read with great interest, nud, however men may differ as to the political course which Mr. Peel has adopted, every one must admire the high spirit of private honour and public integrity which have dictated to him the puiuful sacrifice he has ; thus made." As for " the sacrifice, & e." it might be worth something if the University had uever called for the resignation of an unworthy representative; and it" incisures had not been taken iu the University, which might lead to some such call iu the^ preseut case. A's to the denial that the resignation was intended to lie conditional, it is best answered by the follow- ing iyiti paragraphs of Mr. Peel's letter :— 11 I lake the liberty of requesting thai you will com- municate 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' parliament- should be vacated. " / will bv guitlecl by the suggestions with which you may favour me in this respect, iu making my applica- tion tothe Crown for . some nominal appointment, which may vacate my seat." Mr. Peel never intended that his resignation should be accepted, and therefore he did not request it to be laid before the convocation, but before a few whose suggestions he ikvited. The worthy Vice- Chancellor, however, understood 110 such coquetry; and, therefore, like an honest man, Doctor Jones read the letter in full convocation, and the resignation was received with thunders of acclamation, and, of course, formally accepted. The scene, we are told, was equally amusing and impressive. After l) r. Jones had read the letter, a voice from among the masters exclaimed—" Hus- kissonizate euiu" " F. um HuskissOnizabimns otnnes" was responded in an unanimous shout, and Huskissoned he was, and " there was no mistake," and there shall be 110 mistake. If more proof be wanted that Mr. Peel did not anticipate that bis resignation would be accepted, it will be found in his parliamentary arrangements, all of which shew that he never expected the necess. ty of the fort- night or three weeks' absence from the House of Commons, upon which he must now calculate. gimpertai parliament. HOUSE OF LORDS— TUESDAY. The Duke of RUTLAND presented a petition against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics from Leicester ( signed by 17,500 indivi- duals); from Grantham ; from Much Wenlock ; and from Wark worth. The Noble Duke stated that he concurred with the petitioners, that the concession of political power to the Roman Catholics was pregnant with danger to the Constitution. Mis opinion 011 that question remained unchanged. The Earl of LONOIORD had a petition to present from Longford, in Ireland, and another from Gra- aard, against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. His Lordship expressed his opinion that the proposed proceedings of His Majesty's Ministers relative to the Roman Catholic Question, were unconstitutional, and that their intended measures would be the greatest innovation, and would effect the most serious changes in the national establishments of the country that ever had been attempted towards them. The measure had taken the country by surprise. The first result would be the indignant depression, ! and then would come the desperate resentment, of the whole Protestant body. The Duke of WELLINGTON said he had commu- nicated the measure as soon as be had obtained his Majesty's consent to do so. When he first felt it his duty ( in July or August last) to recommend to his Sovereign to desire his Parliament to take info their consideration the laws affecting the Roman Catholics, he felt it was also his duty to be silent till he had obtained his Majesty's sanction. But that sanction he did not obtain a few days before Parliament met. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and the Bishops of LONDON, EXETER, and BRISTOL, in presenting several petitions from the Clergy, stated that they had not changed their opinions on the Roman Catholic Question ; for they could not see how any security could be devised, if Roman Catholics were permitted to enter the Legislature. Lord REDESDAI. E presented a petition from Car- marthen against the Catholic claims. He said, that when he was told the base and pedestal of the Con- stitution were about to be swept away, as they were now proposed to be, to make room for the Roman Catholics, he felt as one would feel at whose head a robber held a pistol, demanding his money. A great niauy other petitions were presented against the Catholic Claims : and four in favour of them. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. Mr. PEEL brought forward his motion for the Suppression of the Roman Catholic Association. The Right Hon. Gent, laid before the House certain documents relative to the situation of Ireland, in a public point of view as well as 111 a private— and these, nine in number, we shall touch upon shortly. The first alludes to au assemblage of Catholic peasantry, in three different parts, on the 14th of September, with green boughs and other badges. The second, dated from Armagh, on the last day of September, mentions the arrival of about 20,000 Protestants, with orange and other coloured ribands, on account of the expected arrival of —^ . ( The name is not mentioned, but it is supposed to be that of one of the agitators.) The did not come, aud the large body left the [ From the St. James's Chronicle.] To the Right Hon. Robert Peel. SIR, Oxford, Feb. 7. In the letter you addressed to the Vice- Chancellor, you declare your resignation of your seat in the House of Commons as the Representative of this University Why, then, do you add the inquiry, as to the time when it will be most convenient to us to proceed to an election ? Convenient or not, when our officer refuses to fulfil his trust, we have no choice but instantly to proceed to appoint his succcssor. Yet, had our convenience been studied, surely half an hour might have been found, betw- een the beginning of August and this time, to have informed us of our approaching loss;— surely, ill the lapse of six months, an opportunity might have been seized, had it been convenient to you, to prepare us for your recantation, before the very day when our petition against con- cession to the Roman Catholics was to be determined. Was it some remnant of shame that made you drive off the performance of this task to the last moment ? Or, was it artfully done to crush, if possible, our efforts still to maintain our constitution inviolable ? Our convenience, truly, has been your study. Why, you delay your resignation till within six hours of your appearing in your place in Parliament;— and, then, you have not hesitated to publish your aban- donment of every principle which has given you importance since you began your political career! You well know, that to your solemn and repeated professions of adherence to our Protestant, constitu- tion alone it is that you were here preferred to Mr. Canning. Can you now, without a blush, remember the eloquent lament of that great man, when lie declared that he had been forced to relinquish the dearest object of his heart, the highest aim of his ambition, the honour, as he was pleased to call it, of representing Oxford, to an imperious sense of duty, in advocating the Catholic claims? " Let me not, hereafter," said he, " be taunted with inconsistency or insincerity on this subject." And this scholar and statesman, the admiration of Europe, we sacrificed for you— and only, because we thought you honest. I11 your letter to the Vice- Chancellor we have a long history of the balancing in your mind of the ills of a divided Cabinet, turbulence in Ireland, and con- cession ; of the deliberate judgment then formed ; and at last a painful perception of the line of duty ; hut, " no sooner," say you, " had I advised His Majesty on the subject, than I began to consider my situation with the University, and the result was my determination to resign." Who would not suppose, from this representation, that all this had happened last week, and that you had converted the duke! But 110. It seems it happened as long since as last August. Verbosa et grandis epistola venit. - Bene habet, nil plus interrogo. Recantation or dismission was the alternative, and, in an unhappy hour for your reputation, you made your choice. We must conclude, that you were commanded to act under sealed orders, and that you were forbidden to speak till your avowal might be made to the whole country. Aud you could consent to offer this careless insult to the University that has made you all you are! It is well .- at last we have learned to estimate you. Already you have made no mean advance in the Jesuitism of that church whose pretensions you sup- port ; the last six months have not been spent to no purpose. You know the constitution of the Uni- versity, and are well aware that the members of con- vocation are your constituents. Why do you, then, in an affected ignorance, request the Vice- chancellor and his friends to inform you when it will be con- venient to proceed to an election. Was it intended, - without professing it, to keep the correspondence secret ? He is too frank a man to lend himself to such a trick— he read your letter, as it became him, to the assembled members of the convocation. Was it to give time for some other intrigues ? To try the ground whether we would again elect you ? Your creatures here— for you have your creatures— have been hinting at this. But it is all in vain, we have done with you. That such an attempt will utterly fail, the members who voted on the petition, after your aposlacy was " known, 164 to 48, must abund- antly prove. Heiiceforth pursue your calling, play town without any disturbance. The third document is the Proclamation issued by the Lord Lieutenant, 011 the 30th of September, against illegal meetings. The fourth is from Major- General Thornton, relative to the disappointment of the Roman Catho- lics in not proceeding in procession through the town of Ballibay, and the measures he had thought proper to adopt. The remaining documents relate to the state of private society— to the insults offered to the Mem- bers of the Brunswick Clubs— the recommendation for exclusive dealings— the interference of the Catholics to prevent potato digging on grounds belonging to Protestants— the system of pacificators and regulators ( officers of the Association)— the entrance of a body of Catholics into the town of A uglier, the inhabitants of which rose aud drove them out — the treatment of Protestant individuals— the refusal of Catholics to work for Protestants— aud the risk of personal violence run by the Pro- testant if he ventured a mile from his own dwelling The following are the provisions of the proposed enactment:— It enacts that the Catholic Association be sup- pressed ; every person present at the same, after the passiug of the Bill, to be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor The Lord Lieutenant is empowered to suppress Associations or Assemblies by Proclamation. Any two Justices of the Peace to whom such Proclamation or order shall be given by the direc tion 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 al1- persons to disperse immediately— 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 before 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, through- out 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 for- feit treble the sum so contributed, or £ 10, at the election of the Attorney- General. SumB 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. The form of conviction is specified, and an en- actment added to prevent convictions from being reinoveabte by certiorari. Prosecution to be commenced within three calen- dar months next after fact committed. 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 perpe- tual, and the residue thereof to be in force for one year from the day of passiug the Act, and until the end of the then next Session of Parliament. f ® lt0ceU< incoti0 SntelUgencc. THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION.— The British constitution embodies the excellencies of all modes of government. It is just, it is tolerant, it is scriptural. The king is its head, the houses of parliament are its tongue, and the bible is its heart. — Hence it secures civil protection, religious freedom, and the healthy vigour of the whole realm. The British constitution is essentially and exclusively . protestant. In the year 1688, King; William the Third, being a protestant, - was invited to England, that the nation might be preserved from popery. Under him the constitution was settled. The first act which it passed was, that the parliament must be protestant. The Lords and Commons were obliged to take the oaths of allegiance aud supremacy, and subscribe to the declaration against transubstantiation. The king, also, must be protestant. At his coronation he styears, that he will maintain the protestant reformed religion as established by law. So strict and jealous, also, is the constitution respect- ing the king, that not only himself must be a protestant, but his consort likewise. If he marry a Roman catholic the people are immediately absolved from allegiance to his person, and his crown descends to the next protestant heir. Ifi the morning of Wednesday se'nnight, 3. fevans, alias Squire Smallman, whose exteusive robberies have been before noticed by us, effected his escape from Hereford County Gaol, in a man- ner equally daring and iugeuious. O11 the preced- ing night,< when the prisoners left the yard assigned them to exercise in, for the purpose of being locked in their cells, whilst the turnkey remained in the yard, Evans, who was amongst the first to leave it, contrived to slip up a flight of stairs they had to pass, leading to an upper range of cells, unper- ceived, and the whole of the prisoners, as the turnkey thought, were safely disposed of for thei night. In the furthest Evans took refuge, and patiently waited till all was quiet, when he remov- ed two small iron bars from a leaded window, with which he displaced the bricks from the top arch of thfe cell; making a hole about 12 by 18 inches, through which he got to the roof under the tiles. He then crept along from the west side, where he was confiued, to the east side, when he removed the tiles, and taking with hint a sheet torn in tvfo, and fastened together, he managed to descend to the boundary wall, a task of great difficulty and danger, then fixing the one end of his sheet securely in a spike on the top of the wall by which the lead covering is fastened, he let himself down to within about six feet of the earth, and doubtless dropped in safety to the ground. Evans was seen, about eight the same morning, at no great distance from Hereford, going towards Fownhope, having taken the precaution of putting « n the coarse hempen shirt worn by the prisoners over his gaol dress, so as to appear like a smock frock, and also rolled up the tfowsers to his knees. It scarcely appears credible, after so recent an escape, that this man should again commit a robbery, but there is uot the least doubt of the fact. The following Satur- day morning, the house of Mr Ballard, of Wesl- hide, was broken into, and from the circunistancc of a pair of shoes, with wooden soles, having been found in a meadow near the premises, which, on being brought to the gaol, were recoguized as those worn by Evans, it is almost certain ho effected the robbery. SHELLS, ROCKETSJ AND CARCASES.—- No person can estimate the dreadful carnage committed by shells, but those whose fate it has been to witness the effects of these messengers of death. On this occasion our shells were very numerous, and of enormous size, many of them thirteen inches and a half iu calibre. The system of shelling had been so improved in the twelve years which had elapsed since the siege of Bhurtpore, that, instead of about one shell in five minutes from a single battery, it was by no means extraordinary to see twenty in one minute, from the numerous batteries which were brought to bear upon this place. It was, at times, truly awful to see ten of these soaring in the air together, seemingly riding on the midnight breeze, and disturbing the slumbering clouds on their pillows of rest; all transporting, to a destined spot, the implements of havoc and desolation con^ tained within their iron sides. The moon hid her-, self, in seeming pensiveness, behind a dense black cloud, as though reluctant to look on such a scene j and the feathered tribe, that were wont, in these warm nights of summer, to melodize the breeze, retired far into the distant woods, there to time their notes of sorrow. Mortal language cannot array such a scene in its garb of blackest wo. Some careascs were also thrown. These,; when iu the air, are not unlike a fiery man soaring above. They arc sent to bum houses, or blow up maga- zines. Far, and wide they stretch forth their claws of death ; and well might the poor, natives call them devils of the night, or fiends of the clouds. To complete this dreadful scenp, the roaring Cott- greves ran along the bastion's top, breaking legs and arms with their shaking tails. Nothing could be more grand to the eye, or more affecting to the sympathizing heart, than this horrid spectacle.— Shipp. NEW SHERIFFS. linwarinfr, of Ote- SmtopsiURF— Chnrles KyunUon M l « ' y Park, Esq.
