FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, Feb. 19. TETTERS from Madrid say that the J paragraph in tile speech of the King of France, concerning tlie new States in America, has produced a painful sensation. In fact, it is easy to observe in it a decided inclination formally to recognise the new Go- vernments. London, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, The Duke of Cumberland attended divine service in the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, yester- day morning, and in the afternoon left town on a visit to his Majesty, at his Palace at Windsor. A. Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, at the Foreign Office,. Downing- street, and remained in deliberation till past six o'clock. Another Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, and the Ministers did not conclude their silling till past seven o'clock, having sat for four hours. The luggage of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland was put on board the steam- pricket the William Fawcett, on Saturday, at the Tower- stairs: the vessel was to proceed yesterday down the River, on her voyage to Dublin. A portion of the domestics ! have also gone in the vessel. The King's Privy Seal is, it is understood, ' still in the custody of Lord Ellenborough, who resigned it to the King at the Court held previous to the meeting of Parliament, when his Majesty returned the Seal to his Lordship, who, therefore, in addition to his office of Pre- sident of the India Board, holds that of Keeper of the Privy Seal. The French papers of Thursday announce the demise of Pope Leo XII. at Rome, after two or three ' days illness, in the 69th year of his age. His Holiness was placed in the chair of St. Peter on the 27th Sept. 1K23, and died on the 10th inst. A meeting of the Drunswick Constitutional Club in Dublin took place at the Rotunda on Thursday last, when about 12( 10 persons assembled. The Earl of Enniskillen, on taking the chair, stated that his principles had undergone no change, and that he was determined as ever to use every exertion within his ability to preserve the Protestant Constitution inviolate, no matter who might attempt to dertroy it. ( Cheers). Lord Dunlo ( son of the Earl of Clancarthy and nephew of the Archbishop of Tuam) said the measures of conces- sion proposed by the apostate Ministers of the King were A bonus for Popish treason, and that the loyal Protes- tants of Ireland were to be sacrificed to the delusions spread throughout the empire by the demagogues of that focus of sedition, called the Catholic Association. He had no hesitation in characterising the proposed changes as a counter- revolution, and they should be so regarded. The Earl of Rathdowne, Lord Frankfort, Sir A. Dancer, and other persons, addressed the meeting; and resolutions strongly deprecating the proposed measure of concessions, were unanimously agreed to. A meeting took place at the Beneficial Society Hall in Portsca on Friday last, to consider of a petition tp Parliament in favour of the Catholic claims, when Professor Inman, of the Naval College, after urging the propriety of removing the disabilities under which the Catholics laboured, moved, " that we regard with grate- ful feelings the gracious communication mode from the Throne to Parliament, recommending the laws im- posing disabilities on his Majesty's Catholic subjects to its consideration, and confidently hope that the Le- gislature will give full effect to the wise and liberal policy, by which his Majesty's Councils are directed."— Mr. Naylor submitted the following amendment, " that it is the opinion of this meeting that the Roman Catholic subjects of these realms do enjoy at present all the civil and religious liberty which is compatible with the safety of a people whose institutions are altogether Protestant; and that Do further concessions should be made."— After some discussion, n division took place, when there ap- peared a majority of the meeting ( A m 3) in favour of the amendment; a petition grounded upon it was therefore carried. About 1200 persons had assembled at the meeting. Anti- Catholic Meeting at Buckingham.— A public breakfast was on Saturday given by Lord Chandos, hr Wootten, to about 200 gentlemen; after which they proceeded to the town- hall, at Buckingham, where( a hu- mevoUs meeting was held, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against any further concessions to the Ca- tholics. The object of the meeting was strongly opposed by Lord Nugent, who, during his speech, was constantly assailed by cries of " No Popery;" and the petition was cairied with only his dissenting voice. The Signatures already obtained to the Pe- titions at Bristol, against granting further concessions to the Roman Catholics, amount to upwards of 33,000 ! The petitions for the county of Devon, against the Catholic claims, have been sent to the Houses of Lords and Commons, witli the signatures of twenty- eight thousand persons. Eeach peiition weighed 231bs, was 95 yards in lenth, and from 27 to 30 inches wide. A public meeting was held at Sheffield on Tuesday, when a petition in favour of the conciliatory measures recommended to Parliament by the King was ilgreed to. Upwards of 7000 persons wire present, and the petition was agreed to with only 30 or 40 dissentient voices. Dr. James, Bishop of Calcutta, died August 22, on board the Marquis of Huntley, at sea, on his way to Penang from Calcutta. PREFERRED,— The Rev. John Matthias Tur- ner, M. A. of Christ Church, Oxford, Prebendary of Lincoln, Rector of Winslow, Lancashire, to the See of Calcutta, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Dr. James through ill health ( since dead)— The Rev. J. B. Frowd, B. D. Fellow of Corpus Christi College. Oxford, to the Rectory of Letcombe Bassett, Berks, void by the decease of the Rev. Herbert Randolph; patrons, the President nnd Fellows The Rev.

Reynolds, Esq. of Great Yarmouth.— The Rev. Robert C. Griffith, Rector of Corsley, to the Rectory of Fifield, Hants. The picscBt Bishop of Calcutta is a Pre- bendary of Lincoln, and Rector of Wilmston, Cheshire. The Earl of Harewood has given lOOOi. towards restoring York Minster, and Messrs. Swann, Clough, and Co. 600/. The subscription for repairing the damage caused by the fire at York Minster already amounts to nearly 10,0110/. It is said that Mr. Gaisford, the Regius Pro- fessor of Greek, in the University of Oxford, will suc- ceed to the golden prebend at Durham, vacant by the death of the Earl of Bridgewater. The Common Council of Norwich agreed last w ' i k to a congratulatory address to his Majesty upon repeat of the Test and Corporation Acts, and thanking liiul for recommending to Parliament the removal of Catholic disabilities. A most destructive fire broke out at George Town, Demerara, on the night of the 29th of December last, which spread with astonishing rapidity, and totally consumed between thirty and forty dwelling- houses and stores. The loss is estimated at 200,000/. sterling. The ' distress occasioned by the calamity is indescribable. Recent accounts from New South Wales Mate that many colonists, besides those already engaged In the wealthy undertaking, are contemplating an imme- diate entrance into the whaling speculation. The prin- cipal difficulty that exists at present is said to consist in the absence or whaling gear. Lord Granville Somerset has notified that, on the rub of March, be shall propose a Bill to alter and amend the 9th Geo. IV. c. 41, relative to the carc and treatment of insane persons in England." The adjustment of some of the most ob- noxious clauses of the Malt Act of 1827 having been left In stand over from the last to the present Session of Par- liament, the Malsters' Association arc again bestirring themseves to obtain relief. Through tile instrumentality of this body, several important concessions were granted from the Treasury during the last Session; and they confidently hope that the two remaining unsettled points, namely, sprinkling and the certificate system, will, in tile course of die present, be brought to a satisfactory issue. THE WOOL TRADE.— A rumour obtains con- fidence among the agricultural classes, that as soon as the attention demanded by an important political question rail have subsided, a renewed consideration of the con- dition of the British wool grower will be conceded by the Legislature. That the trade has gradually continued to pet worse, since the emanation of the Lords' Report in June last, is manifest to those who have kept an eye upon its operations, and the prospect of improvement in the • value of British wool is daily diminishing. Foreign wool Continues to be imported in immense supplies, and Bri- tish wool, as a matter of course, is nearly annihilated from the home market. At the Newmarket Spring Coursing Meeting the Gold Cup was won on Thursday by Mr. Wilkinson's red b. Catherine, beating in the last tie, Mr. Goulding's brin. d. Xerxes— It was the dullest meeting ever known, there being only live members piesent. [ BOROUGH, Feb. ' 23.— Our Hop market re- mains firm, and without alteration from last week's cur- rency.

SMITHFIELD, Feb. 23.— We have plenty of Beef at market this morning. A decline of 2d per stone took place on Friday, and there is no improvement to- day. The supply of Mutton is moderate, with a brisk trade, fully supporting last Monday's prices. Calves arc but few, and good ones readily obtain 6s.

But, with the rise of stronger public emergencies, more direct exertions are called for : if great political hazards arc threatened, they are to be re- pelled only by increased public vigilance; if the old bar- riers of the State are shaken by open violence or treache rous friendship, the most secure and legitimate defence is in a Press guided by Constitutional knowledge, by zeal for the country, and by that British pride of principle which scorns alike the frowns and the influence of corrupt authority. These declarations have been often made before ; but the time compels a stern sincerity. Our Principles arc British, in the strongest sense of the word. Wc have not adopted them for fee or reward; nor will we abandon them for fee or reward. The country, at this hour, is in imminent danger. A convulsion, that may crush its whole system, is threatened. A new element of discord is about to be introduced into our Constitution ; and every means— from the basest corruption of the base, to the most insolent intimidation of the high— is at work. Events are ripening with a tremendous rapidity, that nothing can counteract but the boldest resolution, the most extended fellow- feeling, and the most vigorous, straitforward, and faithful fidelity to the Constitution. Let what will come, we shall do the duty of men, while we have the power of speaking to our own r'ellow- snbjects. Chains may be forged for us, we may be tor. turcd and persecuted— but we shall siiII put our trust in the righteous cause, and still feel Ithat the life of man cannot be more nobly expended than in the service of freedom. 16201 The next Number, price half a crown, will be pub- lished by Whittaker and Co.

The Gardener's Magazine, begun in 1825, lias now extended to Four Volumes, and contains a mass of Useful Information on Gardening in all its branches, Planting, Territorial Improvement, Practical Botany, Domestic Economy, Rural Architecture, and the Education and Instruction of the Laborious Classes of Society, such as has never before appeared in any periodical. This infor- mation has been contributed by upwards of Three Hun- dred Practical Men or Amateurs, chiefly resident in Britain, but partly also in the other countries of Europe, in North and South America, in Australasia, and India. The value and influence of the Gardener's Magazine thus consists in its being the repository of the labours, and a record of the progress of the gardening republic as spread over the whole world ; and hence the gardener, or lover of gardening, wherever the English language prevails, who does not peruse this work, may be said not to belong to the gardening republic. No. XVIII, of the Gardener's Magazine, with 23 Engravings, published Feb. 1st., contains several valu- able and interesting articles, and the First Part of Notes and Reflections made by the Conductor during a Horti- cultural Tour in France and Germany, to be continued through the succeeding numbers of Vol. V.

[ 6161 LEWIS'S PATENT SHEARING MACHINE. rpHE PATENTEES finding that numerous JL and various Machines were in use, in several parts of the Kingdom, infringing the above Patent, commenced their proceedings for suppressing them by instituting a Prosecution against Mr. C. F. DAVIS, woollen manu- facturer, of Nailsworth, in this county, who, besides pirating their invention of rotary cutting from list to list in the machines used by him, and designated " Gardner and Herberts," has, likewise, in the general construction of those machines, infringed and imitated other essential and novel parts of their Patent. This Prosecution came on for hearing in the Court of King's Bench, at Westminster, on the 14th of January last, when the above- mentioned infringements and imi- tations were clearly substantiated and proved in evidence against the Defendant. But since the mere using any one portion of a specified invention secured by Patent, is of itself quite sufficient to carry a verdict, the Lord Chief Justice Tenterden, without dwelling on other points of infringement, ruled, that no person excepting the Paten- tees was entitled to use a rotary motion for cutting cloth from list to list, and a verdict in their favor was recorded accordingly. This ruling, however, of the Lord Chief Justice was strenuously opposed by the defendant's Counsel, who, on a subsequent day, moved on several affidavits at Nisi Prius for a new trial, at the same time impugning the plaintiff's specification. This last point being dwelt on a good deal, the Judges observed that they would take time to inspect the specification out of Court, when, after a deliberate examination of it, they refused to hear fur- ther argument, seeing no ground to disturb the verdict. The PATENTEES, therefore, consider it fair not only to apprize Manufacturers and Machine Makers of these proceedings; but also of their determination to maintain and assert all their Patent rights which have been already, or may be hereafter violated.

MONDAY, Feb. 22.— Lord Rolle presented a petition mrainst the Catholic claims, numerously signed by the inhabitants uf the county of Devon. The Marquis of Londonderry, in presenting a petition in favour of the Catholic claims from some place in Ire- land, censured the conduct of the Catholic Association ; he declared, however, his intention to support the mea- sures for relieving the Catholics of their disabilities The Duke of Clarence— My Lords. It was my inten- tion to have delivered my opinion upon the subject to which the noble Marquis lias referred, when, as I have been given to understand, your Lordships wi'. l receive the report of the Committe 00 the Bill for suppressing the Catholic' Association— a measure of which 1 believe no plan in his senses but must decidedly approve-. But I rise, my Lords, now, becausc his Majesty's Ministers have become united. I wish to God his Majesty's Mi- nisters had been united in 11125. 1 wisli to God his Ma- jesty's Ministers, or rather his Majesty's Administration that might have been formed in the year lt! 04, could have been united 011 this subject. 1<" rom that hour my opinions were formed in favour of what is falsely called Catholic concession, for it is not concession, my Lords; it is the taking away a degradation; and 1 pledge myself, I pledge my life, that it is not a concession to the Catholics, but tlie removal of a degradation ; it is the binding in Strength together of t!, 0tll), 000 of his Majesty's subjects. Now I am up I will state how much pleasure I feel this day in supporting tile Noble Duke and his Colleagues, wliohave been so unjustly, for I will not sayso infamously, attacked. My Lords, if his Majesty's Ministers are, fortunately for tlie country, united upon such a mea- sure of such deep importance, I thank them from the very bottom of my heart. I think it will be hardly pos- sible for any man who hears me this day to doubt that I ain deeply and thoroughly interested in the welfare of my country. ( Hear.) It will be forty years next month since 1 have had a seat in this House, and 1 trust in God that \ have never given a vote here that I have had reason tfl regret; but certain I am that 1 have never given an y vote with half so much pleasure and satisfaction as I shall give in every stage of it, to the measure now contemplated by tlie Noble Duke. However I might on one octesion have hail the misfortune to differ from the noble individual at the head of his Majesty's government, npthioft Can ever induce me to alter the exalted opinion I entertain of his personal worth and high military talent. I trust that in the interval between the passing of the ' Bill whidli we are to consider to night arid the announce- ' it lent of those measures by which the noble Duke pur- ! poses to effect this most desirable object, that the right reverend Prelates will apply themselves seriously, delibe- rately, and without the mixture of any unseemly passion or prejudice, to the /.- onsideration of the condition in Which we are now placed, and what would he the result of its continuance. ( Hear, hear.) I trust in this delibe- ration ifiey will call to their mill 1 that they are the ap- pointed Ministers of peace. I trust tjtey will call to their recollection what might be the situation of Great Britain if those events which are every day taking place upon the continent of Europe, should, by any possibility, give rise to such difficulties as would involve us in another war. I would ask the Right Reverend Prelates whether they can. conscientiously, bring themselves to oppose that measure which liiav place us in a situation to avoid all hostilities ill the present situation of Europe; and I would ask them still further, whether, knowing that by opposing it they may be the means of intro- ducing hostilities abroad and enmity at home; — I a k them how they can then dare to call themselves the i Ministers of Peace ? ( Hear, hear.) I feel j ought to ' ut pardon of your Lordships for detaining" you so long 1 at the present moment, and the more so, as I shall ; very often be obliged to trouble the House in the discus- sions which must take place upon the measures which the 1 Noble Duke intends to propose. I could not, however, ! avoid congratulating your Lordships upon the prorpect j before you, and expressing my pleasure and satisfaction that the doer of the Constitution is at last to be opened to the people of what ought to be the dearest, as I believe it 10 be the richest, province of our united empire. ( The illustrious Duke was heard with a profound attention, and loudly cheered by their Lordships at the conclusion of a speech which seemed to make a strong impression upon the House.) The Duke of Cumberland said that it was truly painful to him— and he trusted his noble relative would believe Ifim whin he said so— to be obliged to rise to express his astonishment when lie heard the words " factious" and " base" applied to the present opposition to his Majesty's Ministers, and when he heard the words " unjust" and " infamous" applied to the conduct of himself and of those who with him felt it their duty to oppose his Ma- jesty's Ministers in this instance. He would put it to the noble Lords whether there was any thing in his ( the Duke of Cumberland's) conduct in reference to this ques- tion 10 justify the application of such epithets? ( Hear.) He conscientiously opposed these measures ; and he had openly, fairly, and candidly, stated his conscientious opinion as to the evils with which they were fraught: considering tjiese measures, he conceived it but fair and right, as a Peer of that House, to declare his sentiments, as he triisted he ever should declare his sentimens, in tlie manner in which a gentleman and a nobleman ought to ex press them. He viewed the subject in a totally dif- ferent light from that in which some noble Lords viewed it, and unless things should greatly change their appear- ance, he should never flinch from staling fairly, consci- entiously, and openly, his determined opposition to these measures of concession. ( Hear, hear) The Duke of Sussex observed that his illustrious brother applied the observation he had used to the con- duct of all those who had expressed violent opinions hos- tile to Catholic Emancipation. If his noble relative ap- plied these words of condemnation to his own conduct, that was his own taste; all he ( the Duke of Sussex) could say 111 justice to his noble brother was, that he did not mean any. personal offence to his noble relative. The Duke of Clarence said he certainly used the words " infamous and 1" whether lie had said unjust and infamous," or " infamous and base," he was not quite sure. Bttt the expression i; infamous" lie had most un- doubtedly employed. He did not deny the words, nor would lie retract them. But lie would deny that these words were applied, or ever could be applied, to his noble relative opposite. Indeed, he could not help sus- pecting that his illustrious relative had been so long abroad that he had almost forgotten the freedom of de- bate. ( A laugh and cries itf hear) The Earl of Eldon contended that though the ex- pressions used by hi* Royal Highness the Duke of Cla- rence did not immediately apply to his noble and illus- trious relative, it was evident that they were applied to those who thought and acted with that noble Duke, in reference to thin question. It was said that ail the oppo- sition to the measure was " factious;" " factious" was the word employed, and such a charge he ( Lord Eldon) would unequivocally deny. The three illustrious persons who l) ad addressed their Lordships that evening had * very right to give their assent, or to state their objec- tions to tile measure about to be introduced. But whe- ther the opposition to his Majesty's Ministers should or should not be characterised as factious, he ( Lord Eldon) had risen for the purpose of saying that he would do his duty— his duty to that House and to tlie country— and that it was at present his conscientious conviction that he should oppose these measures, if they should be such as he imagined they Would be. But if he misconceived those measures, he should be as glad as any man in the Country if it were found necessary to abide by them, pro- vided that they were consistent with tlie Constitution of the country. Earl Grey said that when the noble Earl ( Eldon) re- yelled the imputations of factious," he ( Lord Grey) would advise him to take care that his opposition should be coitducted in such a manner 11s not to deserve the name. He would ask their Lordships, whether they had j not heard in that House expressions which, in better times, would have subjected the authors of them 10 me- ' rited censure and reprobation? ( Hear.) What, he would ask, had they heard that very evening? He would ask whether the assertion llittt the King, by recom- mending a consideration of the propriety of concession to the Roman Catholics, was breaking his Coronation Oath, vas within the bounds of legitimate, or deserved to be mgrnatispd as factions opposition ? ( Hear, hear.) . The Duke of Wellington, after observing that his noble friend Lord Eldon had referred to his ( the Duke of Wel- lington's) letter to Dr. Curtis, to show that the country fiad been taken by surprise, said, he never intended that letter for publication, and with tile publication of it he had nothing ni do. How it appeared that he ( the Duke of Wellington) intended to surprise the public, when he never addressed the letter to the individual to whom it was directed for the purpose of publication, much less had any hand in the publication of it, lie was at a loss to conceive. Ttie Earl of Eldon said lie did not impute any im- proper motive to the noble Duke ; lie merely said that ilio country had been taken by surprise, when they beaut the Speech from the Throne, so soon after the letter which had been so improperly published. ' Earl Grey said it was now his duty to present a peti- tion of the same nature as tlidt just laid on their table. It was the petition of the Roman Catholics of England, signed most numerously and respectably by a'd the Ro man Catholic nobility, aristocracy, and a great propor- tion of the Catholic population of this country. At the head of it was the signature of the Earl Marshal of England, the Duke of Norfolk. He presented this petition with a conviction that its prayer would be granted, and hoping it would be the last of the kind which lie ' should ever have occasion to bring under their Lord- ships' notice. ( Hear, hear.) lie trusted that before another session— indeed in a few weeks— he might be able to congratulate the Duke of Norfolk, and the other Catholic Peers who had signed the petition, not as strangers outside the bar, but as Peers in their places in that House. ( Cheers.) Lord Redesdale was sure that the Catholics, as Catho- lics, could not give the Protestants of this country satis- factory security for the integrity of their Protestant insti- tutions. The Bishop of Bath and Wells presented six petitions from places in Somersetshire, and one from the Archdea- conry of Sarum, against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. The Earl of Eldon presented several petitions against further concession to the Roman Catholics. The order of the day being moved for bringing up the report of the Association Suppression Bill, some observa- tions were made by the Earl of Mountcashel and Lord Redesdale. The latter noble Lord said he believed that this bill would not prevent seditious meetings in chapels. The Report was received, and the Bill ordered to be committed to morrow— Adjourned. TUESDAY, Feb. 21 Lord Elden presented nume- rous petitions against the Catholic claims, among them was one from Bristol with 311,000 signatures. The Duke of Sussex observed that although the Bristol petition was numerously signed, yet there had been great opposition to it, and lie had heard that many of the sig- natures were improperly obtained. Lord Eldon maintained the respectability of the petition. Similar petitions were presented by Lord Rolle', Lord Falmouth, Lord Winchilsea, and Duke of Newcastle. A petition was presented from a body of Protestant Dissenters at Penzance, praying for ihe removal of ail civil disabilities on account of religious opinions. The Marquis of Anglesey presented several petitions from Ireland, praying for the concession of the Catholic claims. The Duke, of Wellington, in moving the 3d reading of the Association Suppression Bill, propi sedan amendment to this effect—" Provided that nothing ill this act shall be construed to authorise the suppression of any Association affiernbletl for lawful purposes, on the ground of any dis- turbance that may arise in consequence of the intrusion of persons not members thereof." The noble. Duke con- ceived tVat this proviso was highly necessary. The Marquis of Anglesey — My Lords, you are about to confer a great boon ; I wish it to be without a draw- back. This Bill is an ungracious act; it appears to be nothing less than a gratuitous insult. ?. My Lords, it is 1 useless and nugatory ; it is a work of pure supereroga- tion ; it is an enactment against a tiling which has no existence. The Catholic Association is defunct. It dis- solved itself upon the prospect of blighter days. Lord Ellenborough assured the noble Lords that the measure brought forward for the suppression of the Ca- tholic Association was a measure of necessity. It was in- tended as one means of securing safety to the State, and rendering back peace and prosperity to the country. Lord Redesdale observed that the Association was only a tool in the hands of the Roman Catholic priesthood, ar. d except the latter could be brought into a state of obedi- ence and submission to the Government, attempts like the present were perfectly useless. He must take every opportunity of censuring the enormous power possessed by the Irish priesthood— a power absolutely without con- trol here— a ( lower acting under foreign influence against the law of tlie land and the spirit of the Constitution. Unless the Noble Duke hail some treasure of coercion in view against the priests, every other measure which he could devise for the benefit of Ireland must be null and void. The bill was then read a 3d time, and passed — Adj. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, Feb. 23— The House having resolved itself into a Committee on the Life Annuities' Acts, The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated his intention to intioduce a measure to authorize the granting of annuities by the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt. His object was 10 extend the principle laid down in the Act repealed last session, with respect to the grant- ing of annuities, and to establish a more accurate basis for calculating the value of annuities. He intended to give to the Commissioners the power of granting annuities for terms of years, either for a definite period or termin- able on the death of any individual, as agreed on : he likewise proposed to give them power to grant deferred annuities— that was, annuities to commence after a de- finite number of years. The most important part of his measure referred to an alteration in the tables 011 which the annuities were to be calculated. In former Acts calculations were made according to the Northampton Tables. All persons who had paid any attention to the subject, must know that those table's gave a less favour- able representation of human life than the experience of the present day warranted. The data which he had taken as to the foundation for his present calculations were the registers of the Irish and English Tontines, and of persons who had received Exchequer annuities The first register was of the Tontine of lf! 03, which ended in 1782 ; the next was of the Exchequer Annuities granted in 1745, 17411, 17W>, 177", and 1770; and the last register was of the English Tontine in I7IIU. Another basis of calculation would be the lives of those who had purchased annuities at public offices during the last 20 years. The mass of lives on which the observations would be made would amount to about 21,000. When it was considered how small a number of persons were the subject of Dr. Price's observations ( not more, he be- 1 eved than 7000 or iiOOOl, the House would perceive that the new calculations could not fail to be more accurate. It was not a little extraordinary to observe how different were the results arising from the two modes of calculation. He would briefly state his reasons for adopting the new calculations. According to the calculations of the North- ampton Tables, out of 10.000 lives which reached the age of 40, 2! 14 die before they reach the age of 41 ; but iiccording to the new calculations only 1 / t! out of 10,000 die between 40 and 41. making a difference of 108. Now this was a period of life about which persons generally applied for annuities. Another point of importance was, the difference of longevity between men and women : on the calculations made it appeared, that out of 10,000 men's lives reaching 45, 134 die before 40, and out of the same number of women only 112 die within the same period ; and of the same number reaching the age of 50, 106 men die before reaching 51, and of the same number of women, and within the same period, only 120 die, thus showing that, though the same discrepancies do not exist between the length of the lives of men and women at earlier periods, yet at this age the chance was in favor of women attaining a greater age. The Rt. Hon. gent, said lie thought, therefore, that it would be better to have separate tables; this would be found to be the more lie- cesssry, when it was considered, that of the persons who j purchase annuities about that period, the number of wo- i men was 100, while that of men was only 50, nnd at a later period of life the disproportion was still greater ; so that if the tables for both were the same, women would obtain annuities on terms much more advantageous than men. The tables would be too voluminous to be ap- pended to the Act; it was his intention, therefore, that the tables should be published in the Gazette, and that afterwards copies should be kept by the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, and also at the Treasury, where parties applying for the purchase of an nuities might ascertain at once the price in stock or money of the annuity they might require. He would now say a word as to another point. As the Finance Committee had recommended that the reduction of^ tlie National Debt should proceed henceforward 011 a principle different from that which hud- been hitherto adopted, he intended to avoid the intervention of the Commissioners of the National Debt in the payment of the annr. ities; so that when a party applied for an an- nuity to'lie paid for by the transfer of a certain quantity of stock, the stock so transferred would be cancelled, and the annuitant to be paid out of the Consolidated Fund. In this manner there would be a certain, gradual, and. as far as the annuities went, a considerable reduction of the National Debt. And this mode of granting annuities would afford a mode of making provision for lives on terms advantageous to the individuals, and eventually beneficial to the public. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded bv moving, that the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt be authorised to grant life annuities on such terms as may be set down in tables to be kept for that purpose by the Lords of the Treasury. The motion was agreed to.— Adjourned. _ TUESDAY, Feb. 21 Sir 11. Vyvyan presented peti- tions ngainst the Catholic claims fiom various parishes and districts in Cornwall. Mr. Pendarves presented three peti ions from the same county in favour of Catholic emancipation. Mr. Bastard presented a petition from the freeholders and other inhabitants of the county of Devon, to which 20,000 names were attached, praying that no further concessions might be granted to the Roman Catholics. Lord Ebringlon said that many of the signatures to th 1 Devonshire peti ion were obtained in an improper manner; and he believed that in point of property in tlie county, the preponderance was in favour of the Catholic claims. Sir T. Aclund admitted that the county which he had the honour to represent, was for a long time decidedly hostile to the principle of concession to tile Roman Ca- tholics, but lie had the satisfaction of swing the gradual removal of that hostility. ( Hear, hear.) He then held In his hand a petition from the undersigned freeholders and leaseholders of the county of Devon, praying that the House might aceede to the principle of concession to the Roman Catholics. The petitioners prayed that the House, having a due regard to the Protestant Constitu- tion as by law established, would settle the question in the only way in which it could be settled— namely, by relieving the Catholics from the degraded situation in which they were now placed. The petition was signed by. 2,200 freeholders and leaseholders, and many of them men of large fortune, all of them of some sub- stance ; and, it was fair to presume, of some deliberation. There were among the signatures those of 50 of the acting Magistrates of the county—( Hear, hear)— and of those Magistrates who had been railed to preside at the Quarter Sessions ; a circumstance which proved at least that tliev were not considered as inferior in intelligence to their brother Magistrates, three out of four werj in favour of concession. ( Hear, hear.) The petition was also signed by the High Sheriff of the county, by tile venerable Lord Lieutenant, and by a decided majority of the aristocracy of the county. He was aware that the Clergy of Devon weie as a body decidedly hostile to the claims of the Catholics; but, nevertheless, the petition contained the signatures of twenty of that body, at the head of whom was that of the venerable the Chancellor of the diocese, a man at once the ornament of his profession, and of the society ill which lie moved. ( Hear.) In giving this enumeration, he conceived that he had made out that this was no common petition. HI would add his conviction, that within twelve short months from the present, there would be found a . considerable majority of the whole county in favour not of conces- sion to be given, but cordiidly approving of concession granted. ( Hear.) The Hon. Baronet presented a similar petition from the Unitarian Christians of Devonport. Sir T. Lethbrige presented anti- catholic petitions from Chard and 4 other places in Somersetshire. The Hon. - Mr. Duncombe presented a petition, signed | by 10,500 persons in Halifax, in Yorkshire, a/ ainst any j concession of political power to the Roman Catholics. 1 Mr. Slaney rose, in pursuance of the notice, to move 1 for leave to liring in a Hill to amend the law respecting ! the payment of able- bodied men from the poor- rates. ; He read extracts from the reports of different Committees of the House, for the purpose of proving that the main cause of the increase of crime among the lower classes of the population was the low rate of wages, and the want of sufficient employment. After pointing out the evils of our present system of Poor Laws, he proceeded to de- scribe the remedy which he proposed to apply to thein. The proposition of the Committee, which had sat hut Session upon the subject, and which he now brought for- ward as chairman, was to restore the law to the state in which it was at the time when the present abuses were introduced into it as a temporary remedy for temporary evils, but which had acquired their character as abuses by being made, at this time, a permanent system.- lie proposed to do away with money allowances to able- bodied men, so long as they were in the employment of* third persons; a rule which would draw a line between the industrious and the idle part of the community.' There must be however some exceptions to this rule ; as, for instance, during the temporary illness of the labourer; or where the party was a widow ; or where, being a wife, she was deserted' by her husband ; or where, from old age or other infirmity, the party was able to earn some money, but not sufficient to support himself; or where, the party had suffered loss from fire or flood. This was no change in the law, but the restoration of the law to the state in which it was in 17H5, when the evil arose out of the high price of provisions. It could not be urged against this system that it was impracticable, because facts proved that it was very possible, it being already in practice ill the North of England. After some observations of Mr. Lott, who spoke ill favour of the proposed bill, leave was given to bring it in ; and the oilier orders of the day being gone through, tile House adjourned. London. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 25. We have rcf. sm lo believe that the Measure intended to be proposed by his Majesty's Government, relative to the Catholic Question, will be brought before Parliament to- morrow week, the 5th of March. It is expected to originate in the House of Commons,— Courier. The Catholic Association Suppression Bill was read 11 third time and passed in the House of Lords last night, with an amendment, providing " that nothing in the Act shall be construed to authorise the suppression of any association, assembled for lawful purposes, on the ground of any disturbance that may arise, in consequence of the intrusion of persons not members thereof." It was to guard against a case in which persons hostile to meet- ings for purposes perfectly lawful, might intrude for the purpose of creating a riot, and then call upon the Lord Lieutenant to put them down under the provisions of the Act. Lord Redesdale alluded to instances where Roman Catholic Priests had intruded and created riots in meet- ings assembled for religious purposes. The amendment wa'i carried, and the Bill thus amended was sent to the House of Commons for their concurrence, which was given forthwith. Mr. O'Connell lias removed from Batt's Hotel to private lodgings in Bury- street. Mr. O'Connell, it is said, expects to lose 3,000/. of professional income by his trip to London. A reconciliation lias taken place between Mr. O'Connel and the English Catholics. The disagreement has been done away by the interposition of the Marquis of Anglesey; the result of which has been that the Duke of Norfolk and Mr. Blount, the Secretary of the British Catholic Association, and the other influential Members of that body, called upon Mr. O'Connell on Monday at Batt's Hotel. Mr. Lawless arrived from Ireland on Monday night, at the Tavistock Hotel, Covent Garden. Letters from Dublin assert that it is the de- termination of the people of Ireland to purchase an estate for Mr. O'Connell, to remunerate him for his complete retirement from his profession, in order that he may bi able to devote himself in Parliament exclusively to the advancement of his country. I: is expected that a sum of immense amount will be contributed for this purpose. DUBLIN. Feb. 1\.— It is stated with confidence that the proposed Bill of relief will exclude the Catholics from voting on doctrinal points of the Church of England only, and will contain a provision for the Bishops, which they will have the option of taking or refusing— Mr. O'Connell lias sent over 2007. rent, which he received from South Carolina. It is said that he will go to Calais, to evade a call of the House. A Protestant Club, for London and West- minster, has been formed for the express purpose of " watching passing events," and for the better protection of tlie rights and liberties of the Protestant subjects of this realm. MARYBOROUGH, Feb. 18— On Friday the gentlemen of the Dunmore Hunt were assailed by a number of countrymen at Rossacreena. Volleys of stones were showered upon them, accompanied with vio- lent denudations against them as " b — y Bruns- wickers." There happened to be only two Brunswickers in the field ; but, as the rest were Protestants ( with one exception), no distinction was made, and the whole party had to fly for their lives. The whipper- in was knocked off his horse, and three of the hounds were killed— On Monday a number of farmers, residing in this parish, came into town to pay their tithes, when a gentleman, who holds an official situation amongst the agitators of the country, ordered them all to go home, and not throw away their money like fools. The mandate was readily obeved. Mr. W. Whitmore has given notice of a mo- tion on the 10th of March, for a Select Committee to inquite into the state of trade between Great Britain, the East Indies, and China. This will b ing on the dis- cussion relative to the monopoly of the East India Com- pany, on which Mr. Buckingham has been lecturing at Liverpool, Manchester, and Bristol. The net public income of the United King- dom, after abating the expenditure defrayed by the several revenue departments, during the year ending the 5th of January 1829, was 55,187,1427. lO. v. Hlr7. Ti e expenditure in the same period amounted 10 40,330,073/. ti. v. 7? td.; surplus 5.1150,1 Oil/. IOi. 3' | PARIS, Feb. ' 21.— The opening of the Con- 1 clave for the election of the successor of Leo XII. is said to be fixed for the 23d inst.; it is supposed that only Cardinals d'Isnard', De Croi de la Fare, and De Latil, will be able to attend it. It seems that the health of M!, de Clermont Tonnerre, the fifth French Cardinal, will not allow him to take the journey to Rome. All the accounts from different points of the Russian army concur in stating that the most extensive arrangements are making for opening the campaign. By a letter from Jassy, dated Feb. 1, we learn that the pre- parations for the supply of the army arc immense, and the activity displayed in the organization of the troops that have returned from the campaign is inconceivable. SPAIN. — Letters from Bilboa mention, tlmt an officer, formerly of the Army of the Faith, had raised the standard of revolt at Zamora, and had advanced towards the Asturias at the head of a guerilla party. Letters from Constantinople say that Hussein Pacha has received orders to repair to the camp of the Sultan to take part in the deliberations respecting the operations of the approaching campaign. It appears certain that the Turks will persist in the system of de- fence which they have adopted. The enthusiasm of the Mussulmans is still the same; they are impatient. for the return of fine weather to re- commence the campaign ; ar. d notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, skirmishes take place every day, with alternate succiss, en the left bank of the Danube, between the Turkish garrison and the Russians. Great numbers of the inhabitants of Verdun ( Meuse) have fallen victims to hydrophobia. It spreads general consternation. SPITALFIELDS SILK WEAVERS. — The Duke of Wellington has returned an answer to the memorial presented on the 3d inst. by the weavers of Spitalfields, imp'oring him to adopt such measures as would relieve thmi f. o n the wretched and unmerited condition in which thev were placed. The letter is in the Duke's own hand- writing. shewing the deep interest taken by bis Grace in their prosperity ; his Grace expresses it to be the inten- tion of Government to do every thing in its power, short of returning to the prohibitory laws, during the present Session of Parliament, for the alleviation and removal of the existing distresses in the silk trade ; and concludes hy saying, that be had it in command from his Majesty to contribute to their present relief. The French appear to lie very sanguine of complete success in the production of sugar from beet- root, so as to do without foreign sugar altogether. It is stated in a French paper, upon the authority of evidence given before a Commercial Commission of Inquiry, that there are now 11 France nearly a hundred manufactories for the fabrication of sugar from beet- root; and that it is calculated, that ifi the course of the present year the quantity of raw sugar made from this root will be at least 5,000.000 kilogrammes ( rather mote than 10,000,001) pounds), which is double the quantity of last year. It is stated that a King's Letter will be sent to the Clergy of the united kingdom, authorising paro- chial subscriptions towards the repair of York Minster. A petition of the Irish Protestants against any further concessions to the Catholics has reached Lon- don, containing, it is stated, upwards of 641,000 signa- tures. r It is reported to be the intention of Govern- ment to take ofi the whole of the Assessed Taxes before the expiration of two years, and that a considerable re- duction will be made in the course of the present session. Relays of additional horses have been pro- vided at all the inns on both the Oxford roads, prepara- tory to the increased travelling which the ensuing election will cause for the whole of the week. A meeting of the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Bath was held on Tuesday at Weymouth House, the Venerable Archdeacon Moysey in the chair, when a pe- tition to Parliament against the Catholic claims was agreed to by the clergy present, amounting to upwards of 40, with only one dissenting hand. An address to the representatives of Wells is now in progress of signature, requesting their support to the Protestant cause in Parliament. Tlie parishes of Chewton- Mendip, Cameley, Radstock, Midsomer- Norton, Kilmersdon, Mells. Road, Nunney, and almost every other parish in the deanery of Frome, have petitioned Parliament against concession to the Roman Catholics. The Marquis of Stafford recently purchased Lord Reay's estate in Sutherland for 300,000/.; he is now the largest land owner in Great Britain. The County Bank of Northampton lias paid 20s. in. the pound, with the interest, on the debts due. Of tile 130 regiments, or corps of every de- scription of force, of which the British army consists, only 24, including the household troops, are employed in England ; I in Scotland; 23 in Ireland; and all the rest ( or nearly two- thirds) in the Colonies. A meeting was held at the Old London Inn, in Exeter, on Friday last, for the purpose of considering the propriety of forwarding an address to the Throne, in consequence- of the alarming declarations of his , Majesty's Ministers on the Catholic Question. About one hundred gentlemen of high respectability assembled ; G. S. Furs- don, Esq. in the chair— J. Sillifant, jun. Esq. observed to the meeting that they had already petitioned Parlia- ment 011 the subject, and they were bound to await its decision ; he would therefore move that the meeting be dissolved for the present. Mr. Fulford moved as a. i amendment, " That an humble address be presented to his Majesty, from the county of Devon, against granting the present demands of the Roman Catholics of thesi realms ; and that a Committee be now appointed, whr shall concert measures for the furtherance of this object.' 1 After some discussion, this amendment was put to the vote, and carried with only three dissentients. A Com. mittee was afterwards formed, and the meeting separated. At a public meeting of the merchants and other inhabitants of Liverpool on Wednesday last, it was agreed to petition Parliament to remove tlie restrictions imposed upon commerce by the present Charter of the East India Company. Among the resolutions passed at the meeting was the following: " That the article of tea affords a prominent instance of the injurious effects of monopoly, the present price in London, free of duty, be- ing more than 100 per cent, above the price in the neigh- bouring ports of Europe; thus imposing npon the people of this country a burthen of upwards of two millions and a half sterling per annum for the sole benefit of the East India Company." Perhaps there is nothing in which the Public are more interested than in tiie discoveries of Science, and ill the improvement of the art of healing. Hughes's Quinine Remedies appear to attract general attention. A portion of the expensive and elegant house- hold furniture of Rowland Stephenson, at his residence, How Hatch, South Weald, Essex, about five miles beyond Marshalls, was yesterday sold by auction. The whole of the furniture, & c. at this residence is expected to produce 00,0007. THE BUONAPARTE FAMILY,— The mother of Napoleon passes the winters in Rome, and the summers at Albano. She occupies herself in works of piety and beneficence.— Her brother, Cardinal Fesch, pays her daily visits; the rest or his time is consecrated to the du- ties of bis station, and the discharge of the functions with which he is invested The Count de Survilliers ( Joseph), as is well known, has, since 1814, become a citizen of' the United States, where he has entered into farming on a large scale. His eldest daughter Zenaide, has married her cousin, the Prince of Musignano ( the son of Lucien); and his youngest daughter, Charlotte, has married another cousin, Charles ( eldest son of Louis.) — The Count de Saint- Leu ( Louis) lives alternately at , Rome and at Florence. His state of health is very in- ' different, butdocs not prevent him from devoting himself ! to literary pursuits. His wife ( Hortensia, the daughter j of Josephine) lives at Rome during the winter, on ac- j count of her delicate health, and spends the rest of the year at a beautiful villa on tlie banks of die Lake of Con- stance.— The Prince of Canino ( Lucien) has for a long time resided at Rome, and on the domain from which he takes his title. In 1827, he was residing, with his nu- merous family, at the little town of Sinigaglia, near An- cona— The Prince de Montfort ( Jerome) passes the sum- mers at the Marches, near Ancona, and the winters in • his palace at Rome. His marriage with the Princess Catherine, sister to the present King of Wirtemberg, and cousin to the Emperor of Russia, makes his house the rendezvous of all distinguished strangers from the north of Europe who visit Italy. PUGILISTS.— The friends of Dick Curtis are determined to back him in a second trial against Per- kins, and Dick is said to be full of confidcnce. FIGHTS TO COME:— March 3, P. Sweeney and Ned Savage, 507. a side— March 10, Jem Ward and Simon Byrne, 1007. a side— March 24, Brown and Do- bell, 3007. to 250/ March 31, Frank Redmond and Harry Jones, 100/. a side— April 7, Ned Neal and Young Dutch Sam, 1007. aside. The magistrates at Taunton have decided, that a Wesleyan Minister, proceeding to perform duty at the places of worship to which he is appointed under the the authority of the Methodist Conference, is not liable to pay turnpike tolls. The inhabitants of Taunton have made a li- beral subscription to suppress the use of climbing boys in sweeping chimneys. DANGER OF EBRIETY. — The Catholics' le- gends tell us of one of their hermits to whom the devil gave his choice of three crimes; two of them of the most atrocious kind, and the other to be drunk. The poor saint chose the last, as the least of the three ; but, when drunk, he committed the other two. By an old law of the Lombards, the loss of the nose was assigned as the punishment for theft. The art of printing is unknown in Persia; beautiful writing, therefore, is considered a high accom- plishment. It is carefully taught in the schools, and those who excel in it are almost classed with literary men. They are employed to copy books, and some have at- tained to such eminence in this art, that a few lines by one of these celebrated penmen are often sold for several pounds. DEATH BY STARVATION. — An inquest was held on Thursday at the Elephant and Castle, Pancras, on the body of Margaret Howse. aged 13, who died on Saturday se'nnight, but reports being circulated that she had been starved to death, the body was disinterred. It appeared that the deceased was one of eight unfortunate children, apprenticed from different parishes to Esther Hibner, a tambour worker, residing in Pratt- house, Somerstown. To detail their privations, as given in evidence by the surviving emaciated sufferers, would harrow up the feelings of our readers. A surgeon having proved the death of the deceased to have arisen from want of food, and one of the sufferers that the deceased was beaten by the daughter, on the morning of her death, the Jury relumed a verdict of 41 Wilful Murder ' ilgdinst Mrs. Hibner, and against her daughter, as accessary," and a warrant was issued for their apprehension.

Wednesday last an inquest was held at Crew- kerne, bv Mr. Caine, on the body of a female, named Pryer.

A deodand of 5/. was levied on the owner of the cow. Mr. Chaffer, a publican at Thaxted, xrnsac- cidelitally shot by his brother, on Saturday last, who was carrying a fowling- piece under his arm.

F41107 LEEMING'S ESSENCE for LAMENESS in HORSES. CUFF'S FARMER'S FRIEND, is an almost ir. fa'lible Cure for those most destructive disea e6 the Scour or Looseness in Lambs, Sheep, Calves, Cows, nnd Horses; or the Fret, Colic, or Gripes in Horses. It was discovered and brought to perfection about five years since, by Mr. J. H. CUFF', who l aving found it so extremely useful in saving a great number of Lambs, as well as Sheep and other Cattle for himself and others, was induced last year, by tlie earnest desire of many who had also expeuicnced its good effects, to offer it to a small portion of the Public ; and from the aston- ishing number of Cattle saved by its use in the counties of Hants, Wills, and Berks, art! the hundreds of most respectable attestations and thanks Mr. Cuff has received, lie finds himself called upon to extend its utility as far as his opportunities will allow. Amongst those who acknowledge it to be an invaluable Medicine, and far exceeding any thing they ever before met with, are the following— who are such extensive, celebrated, and well- known agriculturists, that none can doubt their testimony, or the general usefulness of the ' Medicine:— Mr, T. Saunders, near Whitchurch, Hants;:! Mr. R. Osmond, ditto; Mr. H. Pain, near Winchester, Hants: Mr. H. Bull, near Andover, Hants; Mr. H. Mundy, ditto; Mr. W. Blatch. near Salisbury. Wilts ; Mr. J. Mills, Tidworth, Wilts; Mr. T. Harrison, Hin- I don, Wilts; Mr. . J. Tanner, near Newbury, Berks; Mr. T. Lanfier, Hungerford, Berks; Mr. W. Osmond,, ditto; Peter Green, Esq. Houghton. For those few il has saved not only lambs, sheep, and j calves fiom death, by scouting— but ewes, on which heaving or mortification was fast approaching; also cows, when complete scourers or hitters; and horses, in despe- rate cases of fret or gripes:— and they, with many others, declare it now almost a farmer's own fault if he loses any cattle in any of the said diseases ; and that it is so gene- ' rally useful, that no farmer ought ut any time to be without it. It has also been fully proved to be the best possible medicine to remove a cold or cough from a horse1 — to prepare and get him fit for work after grass or 10 restore a good appetite, so essentially necessary to enable him to stand work. CUFF'S LAME HORSES' FRIEND is an inva- 1 uable Ointment, offered to the public 111 consequence of Mr Cuff seeing so many horses working iu pain and misery, and being certain, from upwards of years' extensive experience, that in most eases the lameness and unpleasantness arising from grease', scratches, thrush, canker, quitters, corns, malanders. and salanders, may be cured by half- a- crown's worth of the same. It is also an effectual remedy for the mange, or lice, in horses; and the bust possible application to galled or sore shoulders; and a sure and certain cure for weybreds or warts, 011 horses or cows; or the mange, scab, and foot- rot in sheep ; or the mange iu hogs or dogs.

Whether successful or beaten at Oxford, I Mr. Peel will take his seat on Monday next, March 2 ; to secure this. Sir G. Warrender vacates Westbury, for which Mr. Peel, if beaten at Oxford, will be returned. I Should Mr. Peel lie reflected for Oxford, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald is to sit for Westbury— Morning Paper. A. Court of Common Council, held yesterday at Guildhall, decided on petitioning both Houses of Par- liament in favour of the Catholic claims. The petition was carried by eight Aldermen and 97 Commoners, against five Aldermen, 4! l Commoners— majority 51. Policies have been opened at Lloy'ds, of 20 guineas to return 100 guineas if the claims are carried in the House of Lords by a majority of 40. A person who signs himself " Vetus" in a letter addressed to the Editor of the Courier, says— The clear and unclouded intellect of the Duke of Wellington saw with instinctive sagacity what ought to have been discovered five- and- twenty years ago— he saw, and with the natural energy of his character, determined to act. Two paths were open to him ; the one was to pot down the turbulence of Ireland by force, and to purge away every remnant of discontent by a deluge of blood .— to annihilate one half of the Catholic population, to deprive the rest of every remnant of civil freedom, and reduce them to the condition of a serf, a mere chattel an- nexed to an estate which furnished him his daily bread. England could have done this. Her strong arm could undoubtedly have swept over Ireland, and quenched every ember of discontent; but it would have been the desolation of a plague, and, in the ways of a righteous Providence, would have been finally repaid as in just and terrible retribution. The other course was, to listen to the complaints of our Catholic fellow subjects, and to see if it were possible to grant them consistently with a due regard to our own security. The Duke of Wellington lias seen reason to believe that these two objects are not incompatible; that the claims of the Catholic to the full enjoyment of Civil Freedom may be granted, without notching a single stone in the venerable fabric of our | Church. I Great and glorious achievement if it. can be accom- plished ! Yet, dark and gloomy as is the picture of Ire- land, sad and deplorahle as is her condition, sanguinary and awful as might be the consequences of a conflict to pit down the spirit of discontent— yet, with all this, I cannot forget that I am a Protestant— that the darkness of Catholic dominion was extinguished among us at the expense of the best blood of our country, and that to pre- serve and transmit our pure and reformed religion, un- tainted alike by Heresy or Popery, it is our duty to shed, without a murmur, the last drop of blood that flows through our hearts. Let us pause a little— a few hours will disclose to us the extent of our danger, or cast over us once more the mantle of security, confidence, and peace. VETUS." Meeting of the London Clergy.— On Wednes- day a meeting of the Clergy of " the Archdeaconry of London was held at the vestry room of St. Sepulchre's Church, Snow- hill, pursuant to a circular issued by the Archdeacon. The object of the meeting, as stated in the circular, was " to consider of a Petition to Parliament at the present eventful crisis." About half- past one. Arch- deacon Pott entered the vestry room, followed by about sixty of the Clergy. The Rev. Dr. Shackleford, vicar of . St. Sepulchre's, and two other Clergymen attended in their canonical robes. The Rev. Archdeacon Pott having taken the chair, opened the business of the day. After some discussion, the Chairman read the draught of a petition to Parliament against any further concession to the Catholics. It expressed that the meeting were deeply impressed with tile danger of admitting Roman Catholics to legislative power; that they were anxious to see toleration carried to its fullest extent, and that all the benefits of the Constitution should be equally shared by all, even to the removal of incapacities created by them- selves. if that could be done consistently with the in- violability of the Constitution and the general welfare of the community ; that a power was now sought for by the Roman Catholics, for the exercise of which no security could be offered, as long as they believed tenets inconsistent with their duty to the State, deny- ing the supremacy of the Sovereign in matters eccle- > s'astical; and admitting the power of a foreigner as head of their Church. The petition next adverted to the evils which had unexpectedly flowed from former concessions to Catholics, which, amongst other evils it stated, pro- duced not only divisions among different communions, but also amongst Protestants of all ranks and degrees. A discussion arose as to whether the last paragraph should be llowed to remain ; but oil a show of hands the majority were in favour of its being retained. The question, that the petition he received as that of the meeting, was then put, and carried unanimously. EAST LONDON CATHOLIC INSTITUTION.-— The friends of this institntion ( upwards of 300) dined on Wednesday at the Freemasons' Tavern. A. Dawson, Esq. M. P. for the county of Louth, in the chair. On Ins right he was supported by Mr O'Gorman, and oil his left by Mr. O'Connell. At the same table were Mr. Hunt and Mr. Lawless. In the galleries were assembled several elegantly- attired ladies, who remained during the whole evening, and waved their handkerchiefs when the speakers were cheered. After dinner, the healths of the King and Dukes of Clarence and Sussex were drunk with great applause. The children supported by the institution were intro- duced, and paraded round the room, < . , Mr. O'Connell, on his health being drunk, addressed the company in a speech of great length, in which he de- fended the Catholic Association on the ground of its utility in preserving the peace of Ireland ; notwithstand- ing this ( he said) in the English legislature, the Dukes, and Lords, and Bishops above all, had been abusing this poor Association, and saying it was guilty of all manner of crime. " And what," asked Mr. O'Connell is the Catholic Association ?— It is a room which extends from the Giants' Causeway, ill the north, to Cape Clear, in the smith— from Dick Martin's territories of Connomara, in the west, to the Hill of Howth, in tile east." It was said the forty shilling freeholders were to. be abolished. Let them attempt it. Within a fortnight after the Bill was passed, there would not he a single bank note in circu- lation in Ireland, nor fifty pound's- worth of excisable commodities consumed. For h! s own part, if such an Act Passed, he pledged himself not to taste or consume any article that paid until it was repealed— neither tea, sugar, wine, nor spirit, should approach him. It might be said that he had not influence to persuade tile people of Ireland to so act; but let it be remembered that 51) 011 Irishmen came every day into the town of Ennis. in the heat of summer, during the election for Clare, and remained with lips dry and parched until victory was proclaimed. He concluded by saying that lie should not enter the House of Commons for the purpose of making only a single speech, and then returning to Ireland ; lie should he a constant attendant; and, above all things keep in view a reform of the English law, that, instead of the hocus- pocus which it now was, it might become cheap, intelligible, and expeditious. Mr. Stapylton, a member of the English Catholic As- sociation. protested against what had fallen from Mr. O'Connell, respecting his determination of desisting from partaking of excisable articles should the forty- shilling freeholders be disfranchised. Such language he con- sidered highly improper. Mr. Hunt and Mr. Lawless addressed the meeting. At a very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitant householders of Aylesbury held on Wednesday, a petition to Parliament against the Ca- tholic claims was unanimously agreed to. The Earl of Bridgewater, it is said, has left his secretary 25,0001. a year. The 4th reg. of Royal Irish Dragoon Guards are expected to leave Exeter for York, early in April. A successful new play was brought out at Drury- lane Theatre on Saturday evening, under the title of Peter the Great; or the Battle of Pultowa. Camporese is about to return to this country ; and it is said that I. aporte has it in contemplation to engage her. Velluti is also expected ill England. Miss Smithson's first appearance at Covent Garden theatre is to take place on the 23d of April next. The " Eisteddfod," or meeting of Welsh Bards and Minstrels, will take place this year in London, ensly in May, under the patronage of his Majesty, and a number of distinguished families connected with the Principality. Morton and Kenny have, in conjunction, written a play in three acts, which has been accepted, and is now in rehearsal at Drury- lane Theatre. The story is founded oil Peter the Great, Czar of Muscovy. The piece is musical, and Charles Young, who performs a principal character, will introduce several songs. The comic strength of the play depends upon Liston. The Bristol Steam Packet Company will on Tuesday next launch a new vessel, the City of Water- ford, of 500 tons, and 1110 horse- power. This line packet is intended to ply between Bristol, and the port alter which she is named, and will he ready for sea ill April. She is of a beautiful model, and the accommodation fur passengers of a superior order. It is said that a Captain in the Navy has in- vented a substitute for the lead on pipes, now so constantly used by publicans ill conveying beer, & c. from their cel- lars to the bar. These pipes are constructed of India- rubber, the introduction of which will prevent the perni- cious effects produced by the decomposition of the lead. To prevent moth attacking woollen cloths or blankets, when not in use, a few inferior hops should be • pread between them ; and the moth can never injure stuffed birds or animals, if the hops form a part of the process of stuffing. Mr. Wm. Eisger, of Wrington, near Bristol, has now in his possession a ewe, which on the 1st of March last yeaned four lambs ; on the 1st of the present month, the same ewe again produced four lambs, and the whole are now living. Atkins's . Menagerie is now exhibiting at Exeter, and among its curiosities are three young lion- tigers ( two males and one female), the only animals of their species in the world, being a cross breed between a male lion and a Bengal tigress, produced at Windsor, on the 2llth of October, 1828. These young animals are exhibited ill the same den as their sire and dam, by whom they are attended with the greatest solicitude and tenderness. The lovers of science will be delighted ( if not with a sight, a( least with the light thrown upon the ani- mals of the antediluvian world), by a gratifying discovery made at Lyme by Miss Mary Aiming, of another spe- cimen of the Plesiosanrus Dolichodeirus ( a long- necked animal, almost a lizard); the first ever found being in the possession of his Grace the Duke of Buckingham. This specimen, which is 11 feet in length, is almost per- fect, and most of the bones are lying in perfect order. It is a somewhat singular circumstance that of the only two animals of this species ever discovered, one should be on its belly, the other on its back. The head, sternum, vertebra, and bones of the pelvis and the paddles are all lino and in place. There are four vertebra between the last dorsal vertebra and caroidal vertebra, with their false ribs attached ; by which it appears that this crea- ture had the power of shifting its sternum, a property of some amphibious animals now existing, extremely cu- rious, but very useful when swimming. The comparative anatomists and geologists will be highly interested with this subject. SWEDISH CORN.— Agriculture has made such rapid progress in Sweden within the last 20 years, that instead of requiring to import a large quantity of grain as she then did, she is now able partly to supply the wants of Norway, and has even exported considerable quantities of wheat and oats to the London market of an excellent quality. COBBETT'S dener's Magazine). Mr. Cobbett has written a most excellent, and amusing book on Indian corn, and has explained at large all the uses to which it can be applied, except making beer anil spirits of it. It is known, how- ever, that large quantities of the latter article are made from it in many parts of the United States; but I do not find the mode of malting or the process of the distillation at all described. To preserve gooseberry plants from the ra- vages of the caterpillar, brush the stems with a soft brush dipped in common train or fish oil, about the time of their first appearance, or at any time when infested. It destroys or greatly annoys them, and it also much improves the growth and productiveness of the tree the following year, and clears it of moss. A rhubarb leaf was plucked in a garden at Framplo , near Boston, in October last, which measured, across. 3ft. Sin. by, 3ft. A MOUSE TRAP.— Sink into the ground a common ground pickle jar even with the surface, with some hog's lard or kitchen fat, mixed with some oatmeal well browned before the fire, put in the inside under the neck or shoulder; when the mice are feeding, the over- reach themselves, and fall in. Cultivate strawberries on small ridges of earth running north and south, about nine inches above the level of the ground, planting the strawberries on the top, at d laying plain tiles on each side of the ridge. The produce will be earlier, more abundant, and better fla- voured, than on plants grown on the flat ground. The flat tiles promote the ripening of the fruit, and keep it free from dirt after heavy showers of rain. Employment of Lunatics in Agriculture,— Brussels, Antwerp, and a number of surrounding cities, instead of confining their lunatics in hospitals, pension them out among the farmers, where all of them improve in health, some of them make tolerable workmen, and a few recover entirely. COMPRESSED HAY.— Bramah's hydraulic press will reduce 3001bs. of hay to 12 cubic feet. In this state it will retain its qualities for an unknown length of time, either on land or at sea. A considerable trade in compressed hay is carried on between America and India. There is an orange tree still living and vigo- rous in the orangery at Versailles, which is well ascer- tained to be above 400 years old. It is designated ' The Bourbon,' having belonged to the celebrated Constable of that name, in the beginning of the Kith century, and been confiscated to the Crown in 1522, at which time it was 100 years old. A crown is placed on the box on which it is planted, with this inscription " Sown in 1421.'' The Chinese are eternally drinking lea; in every shop there are always some small tea- cups on the counter; they put the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup, pour hot water on them, put a cover over, and let it stand till ready; they never add milk, and seldom sugar. Their own fondness for this beverage, united to our im- mense trade in teas, leads them apparently to believe that it is the staple of an Englishman's fare, for in one of the hoppo's edicts, issued while I was at Canton, that im- portant officer expatiated on the liberality of the celestial empire, in permitting the " foreign devils" of English- men, who live in a little island in the middle of the ocean, to come to Canton to buy tea for the support of their existence."— Calcutta Oriental Magazine. A few weeks ago a person in Lochwinnoch had a great part of his body severely scalded, by upset- ting a tea- kettle. A surgeon immediately applied a sheet of finely- carded cotton to the part affected, the pain was instantly relieved, & a complete cure effected in 14 days. A novel article of merchandize was offered for sale on the Royal Exchange on Wednesday : it was a whale which was taken a few days since off the Kentish coast, and now lying at Whitstable, The fish was sixty feet long, anil sold for about 70/. A few weeks ago the child of a labourer at Donington, named John Kirk, voided a very strange animal, resembling a locust, with six feet, and two re- markably prominent eyes. It lived above a fortnight afterwards, without any apparent means of support— Boston Gazette. On Wednesday last an ewe, the properly of Mr. Bell, farmer, of Bierton, near Aylesbury, yeaned the extraordinary number of eight lambs, but they were all dead. The same ewe yeaned four lambs last year, three of which were reared. THE LITERARY BY GAZETTE.— Abstract of the Literary Gazette of 132!!— The following abstract will show at one point of view the extent of labour and re- search bestowed upon a single year of the Literary Ga- zette. though published in the apparently slight form of a weekly sheet:— There have been reviews of 2 folios, 34 quartos, 2112 octavos, and 317 duodecimos and lesser publications, taking which, 615 volumes, at an average of 350 pages each, gives above 200,000 pages perused and criticised for this department only. Of Original Corres- pondence, independent of 36 Letters from Paris, there have been 23 important Communications, giving Accounts of the Settlement of Fernando Po, of the Russian Occu- pation of Tabreez, of Munich and its institutions, of Lisbon, of Heidelberg, & c. Thirty- two detailed de- scriptions of Scientific Expeditions and Voyages of Dis- covery into every Quarter of the World : besides 07 Scientific Notices of Useful Inventions, Ac. The Meet- ings and Proceedings of Learned Bodies, including ab- stracts of Papers read, amount to 90. 209 new publica- tions in the Fine Arts have been reviewed, with 53 Critiques on Exhibitions, and 111 Miscellaneous Notices. Original Poetry, by L. 14. L., R. Montgomery, and other popular authors. 4( 1 new Dramas, above 100 Pel form - ances, 114 New Pieces of Music, and 23 Concerts, have received due attention. There have been 13 Biographical Sketches; and 43 Sketches of Society and Manners, comprehending Byroniana, Scottish Character and Anec- dote, & c. & c. To this it may be added, that the Lite- rary News of the year is the most ample and complete that ever appeared in a periodical journal; and that the volume, if printed in a book form, would make more than sixteen honest octavos. It is thus substantially ( not being eccupied bv trite and meagre attempts at laboured and prolix essays on common- place subjects) a very ample Historical Record and Epitome of the Literature, the Science, the Fine Arts, and the Improvements of the passing Age Published every Saturday by W.

[ 6207 Accounts from Smyrna, of the 3d of January, state that great preparations are making at Constantinople for the opening of the campaign ; and that , by the month of May the Sultan will have an army of 400.000 men to oppose the Russians, without reckoning the troops in garrison. FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, Feb. 2—- Not- withstanding the bad weather, the preparations for the next campaign are going on ill the principalities with the greatest activity: and, it is probable, that the Russian troops will pass the Danube, not only to Bulgaria, as they did last year, but also to Servia. A great quantity of cordage, boards, and beams, has already been pur- chased for the purpose of throwing a bridge over the Danube, near Widdin. Cape of Good Hope papers to the 30th of November have been received. It appears from them that the country were suffering from drought; throughout the colony generally, however, a fair cron was expected Last year upwards of SO,( Mill muids of grain were exported from the Cape. With the English market now open, where wheat is always sure of commanding a remunerat- ing price to the South African farmer, the greatest ail- vantages were expected to accrue from the connexion with Great Britain. Cape wheat is undeniably of an excellent quality, and may challenge competition in the London market. All the private theatres in Paris have been closed by an order of the Prefect of Police, on the ground of their being calculated to detach from their industrious pursuits and injure the morals of the persons who perform in anil frequent them. The late George Ward, Esq. of the Isle of Wight, father to the Member for the City, is said to have died worth upwards of 700,000/. Cohen v. Frazer.— In the Prerogative Court on Wednesday, before Sir John Nicholl, the learned • Judge delivered judgment in this important case, respect- ing Mr. Farquhar's will, lie commenced by observing that the amount of the property being of so great a con- sideration imposed an awful responsibility upon the indi- vidual whose duty it was to pronounce the judgment of the Court. But, under ordinary circumstances, the point to he decided would not be attended with very great dif- ficulty ; for after maturely considering the evidence in the cause, and weighing the arguments which had been so ably* pressed on both sides, he ( Sir John Nicholl), would feel but little hesitation respecting the decision the Court ought to arrive at. The deceased Mr. Farquhar, died on the night of the 5th or 6th of July 1826. He was a bachelor, and his nearest relations were nephews and nieces. There were seven persons, namely, Mr. Frazer, Lady De la Pole. Mr. George and W. Mortimer, Mrs. Lumley, Mrs. Aikins, and Mrs Tressaland, who, being next of kin, were entitled to the estate, in case the de- ceased died intestate. The personal property amounted to 500,000/. the real property to 60,000. In the month of December 1826, administration was granted to Mr. Frazer, as one of the next of kin, and in November 1827 that administration was called in by Mr. Colven, in the character of executor, who asserted that a will existed in India, and it was upon the pleading of that will that the present suit arose. The Judge entered into a detail of the evidence that had been adduced ill the case. He said, that a will had certainly been executed in India in 1814, just before the deceased left the country without the intention of returning ; that one part remained, and that the other part came into the custody of the de- ceased, and was never seen after the year 1822. Upon the death of the deceased a careful search was made and no will found. The presumption of law, upon such evidence as bail been produced, was, that it was de- stroyed by the deceased himself. The evidence adduced upon the part of the executors appeared to be insufficient to repel the presumption, as it consisted almost entirely of declarations made by the deceased, which were sus- pected to be insincere. Upon the other hand, the legal presumption was strong for supposing the will destroyed by the deceased, both from his conduct with respect to his property, and by his intercourse with his family. Under these circumstances the Court pronounced against the will, but made no order to pay the costs. DIED.] On Sunday morning, at her house in Grosve- nor- square, the Right Hon.

In answer to a question from Lord John Russell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said, it was intended that one of liis Majesty's Ministers should bting forward a measure relating tn the laws affecting his Majesty's Ro- man Catholic subjects on Thursday next. Mr Stuart Wortley brought in a Bill to authorize the nale of game, which was read a first time; » nd ordered to he read a second time on Friday nyct. The House having resolved Itself into a Committee on I the Navy Estimates, Sir G. Clerk, said, that Govern- ment were enabled to make a considerable reduction in the expences of the Navy, and he could assure the House that a still further reduction should take place next year. The estimate of the present year was less than that of the last by 117,006/. In the dock- yards there had been a reduction of 5,000/. a year, and a further reduction should take place next year. The Right Hon. Gentleman con- cluded by moving the first resolution, than 30,000 men, including Marines, be granted for the sea service lor the year 11129.

M. to the Rectory of Bramshot, in this county, vacant by the death of the Rev. John Monkhouse. Petitions to both houses of Parliament, de- precating the granting tn Catholics any participation in the legislature of these Protestant dominions, have been prepared at Christchurch, and have received the signa- tures of tlie greater part of the nobilitv, gentry, and prin- cipal inhabitants of that town and neighbourhood. Petitions to Parliament are also in course of preparation at Ringwood, Holdenhurst, Fordingbridge, & c. & c. On Tuesday last a hall in aid of the suffer- ings of the Spitalfields silk weavers took place at St. John's House. There were present upwards of 300 of tlie gentry and principal inhabitants of the city and neighbourhood. An excellent orchestra was provided, ! and dancing commenced with quadrilles, country dances, Ac. which were kept up till nearly the dawn of day. The Committee, after paying all expences, have, in- cluding voluntary subscriptions, the sum of 215/. 3*. to transmit for the relief of these unfortunate people. In consequence of the death of Mr. Joseph Samuel Hollis, one of the rcgarders of the New Forest, Mr. Plowman, of Nursling, and Mr. Coleman, of this city, have declared themselves candidates for the vacancy, and an active canvass has commenced. We are pleased to observe that the Crypt and Went of England Magazine is not more improved in appearance than in matter, since it has been published in its present form at Winchester. The number for March, amongst other articles of literary and antiquaran in- terest, contains an Original Letter from Charles II. now in possession of the editor— an account of the Sale of the late Earl of Guilford's splendid Library— a complete cut- tip for the new " Oxford Atlas," from one of the ablest pens in that University— a gentle rap on the knuckles for the Rev. Mr. Warner, whose antipathy to the " new lights" of the Church will put him in the way of receiving many such remembrances— and an original Poem, of great merit, particularly interesting to the Wiltshire Malthusians, from its embodying, in elegant verse, the feelings and failings of " A Bachelor." Hambledon Hunt Races are appointed to take place on Soberton Down, on the 5th of May next. At Romsey market on Thursday the supply of stock was considerable: upwards of 800 sheep and lambs were penned, and the greater part sold at rather lower prices ihan last market. Pigs were plentiful, and fetched better prices than of late. The corn trade was dull, and in every description of grain there was a depre- ciation in price. At Romsey market, the first coop of lambs were penned ; they were very fine, and sold at 37*. per head. They were the property of Mrs. Middleton, of Grove Place; and it is rather remarkable that on the same day last year, the first lambs were sold in Romsey market by the same person, Mr. James Frost, bailiff' at Grove Place. Married at Fordingbridge on Sunday last, by the Her. Mr. Price, Mr. George Burgess, of Blandford, to Miss Amelia Ganaway, of the former place. On the 10th instant tlietl at Lyndhurst, Mr. Joseph Samuel Hollis, many years a printer and book- seller of Romsey, a senior Alderman of the Corporation of that town, & one of the Regarders of the New Forest. On Friday the 21st ult. died, Mr. James Batt, of Penton Manor Farm, near Andover. He was deservedly beloved by his numerous relatives and friends, and by his death the poor of that extensive parish have lost a kind and liberal benefactor. Died on the 21st ult. Mary, the wife of Mr. Henry Winscom, draper, of this city, lamented by a large family and an en tensive otrcle of friends. On Sunday night last, the storehouse of Mr. John Perry, grocer, of Romsey, was broken open, and several firkins of butter and other articles stolen therefrom. Committed to the County Gaol:— Elias Black- burn, and Henry Parlington, for stealing harness, the property of John Portal, of Overton— James Nutcher, for stealing at Twyford a quantity of wheat and barley, the property of Edward Houghton. Southampton, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28. The grand fancy dress ball and supper, which take place at the Long Rooms on Thursday, will, t!> ere is every reason to suppose, be most fully and fa hionably attended. The Churchwardens of St. Michael intend to erect a lobby at the western entrance of the Church, also folding doors at the east end of the middle aisle, which will make tlie Church comfortable, and remove the re- peated complaints which have been made by the pa- rishioners of the great drafts, owing to the body of the Church being so open. The expence will be trivial when compared with the comfort which will be felt by tile im- provement. ( A correspondent and parishioner would recommend the hot air being introduced into the Church by next v/ inter. Preparations were made for it when the Church was enlarged : therefore the expence will be less, the consumption of coal not more than at present, and the warmth would be felt in every part of the building.) BIRTH.— On Monday the Kith Feb the wife of Daniel Sharp, Esq. Southampton, of a soil. Married on Monday Ust, at St. Michael's Church, in this town, by licence, Mr. John Neville, to Miss Mary Ann Hammond, of Andover. Married on Thursday last, at Eling Church, by the Rev. W. J. G. Phillips, Mr. George Witt, of Totton, merchant, to Mary Anne, second daughter of Mr. Thomas Longland, of Coldbury Farm, Eling. Tuesday last died, after a short illness, Miss Anne Chamier, a maiden lady, in the 93d year of her age. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.— Tuesday last Rebecca Killimore, a girl 14 years of age, being near to the fire place, her cloaths caught tire; she rolled herself on the bed in the room in order to extinguish the same, but it bad not the desired cfl'ect. She ran to the street door, envellopcd in flames, and had immediate assistance, but she was so shockingly burnt as to die on Thursday morn- ing. An inquest was held bv G. It. Corfe, Esq. coroner, when a verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned. By what means her cloaths caught tire could not be ( proved. On Tuesday last four boys were sentenced to sit in the stocks in the High- street for gambling. Their names are Tims, Burnett, and two brothers of the name of Tubbs. It is hoped that this punishment will tend to chcck the too prevalent propensity to gambling. Arived: Providence, Pottage, fimr.

To shew the versatility of his talent, he will afterwards act tlie part of Young Wilding in the old farce, of sterling merit, The Liar. A meeting was held on Monday at the town hall, Blandford, convened by the Bailiff at the request of some of the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, for the purpose " of petitioning his Majesty not to give his assent to any measures by which the safety of the Protestant Constitution of this Kingdom in Church and State may be endangered." The meeting was most respectably attended. J. T. King, Esq. moved a petition, to which, another, as an amendment, was proposed by J. Dansey, Esq. The latter gentleman thought that his petition was equally firm, constitutional, and Protestant, and that it avoided extraneous matter. After some discussion, in which the Rev. Mr. Moore, the Rev. Mr. Prattett, the Rev. G. W. J. Chard, and Mr. Harrison, took part, the original petition was carried by an immense majority. The Rev. Mr. Prattett addressed the meeting in a speech of great length, in which he ably combated the doctrines of the Roman Catholics. On the motion of the Hon. A. Stewart, petitions to both Houses of Parliament were agreed to, the Hon. Douglas Stewart having spoken warmly in their support. The Hon. A. Stuart moved that the Earl of Eldon should be requested to present the petition to the Lords, and Mr. Bankes to the House of Commons. The meeting dispersed, after three cheers for Protes- tant Ascendancy, and " one cheer more" forl Lord Eldon. Friday last a most numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Dorchester, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning both Houses of Parliament against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics, - was held at the Guildhall. Joseph Clapcott, Esq. ( Mayor) in tile chair. Petitions to both Houses of Parliament against any further concessions were accordingly proposed by T. G. Read, Esq. and seconded by the Rev. R. Cutler ( both of whom ably addressed the meeting on this momentous question), and which were unanimously adopted. The thanks of the meeting were also voted to the Earl of Eldon for liis great exertions in the Protestant Cause. On Tuesday the 24th ult. was married, at Mere Church, in this county, by the Rev. S. H. Cassan, M. A. Mr. Barnaby Rumsey, of Mere, to Miss Amelia Godwin, of Gillingham. On Monday last was' married, " at Downton, by the Rev.

On Monday last was married at St. Edmund's Church, Mr. Lashmore, clock and watch- maker, of Southampton, to Miss Ann Perman, of this city. Died on the 11th inst. at Hath, aged b9, John Baverstock, Esq. This gentleman, who was bom at Alton, had been totally blind for the last 20 years of his life. He carried on business upwards of 30 years at Marlborough, and was senior alderman of that borough. On the 19th ult. died at Bath, aged 28, D. H. Dallas, Esq. only son of Lieut. Gen. Sir Thos. Dallas. On the 19th ult. died, at the Rectory House, Wootton Rivets, in this county, of a lingering decline, Amelia, the wife of the Rev. Dr. Stone.

A few days since died at Woodland, Dorset, Mr. Robert Gillingham, aged 77. On Sunday the 22d ult. died at New Aires- ford, Hants, in the 5lith year of his age, Mr. John Butler, formerly a wine and brandy merchant of this city. Friday last died, Mary, wife of Mr. William Rhoads, shoemaker, of this city. Died on Saturday the 21st ult. Alice, wife of G. P. Fletcher, draper, of this city, aged 2!) years. On Thursday the 19th inst. a meeting was held at Sturminster Newton, when it was unanimously agreed on to petition the Legislature against farther con, cessions to the Roman Catholics. At a meeting of magistrates in Devizes on Tuesday, a lad, 14 years of age only, ( son of Mr. Wil. kins, of Lavington,) was convicted in the penalty of 51. under the game laws. It appeared that he had taken a a greyhound into liis father's field, when another boy in an adjoining field beat the bushes, and turned out a hare; the greyhound caught the hare, and young Wil- kins took it home. An information was laid against him, and the above was the result. CAUTION.— On Tuesday last, in our market- place, a horse- dealer named Thomas Isaacs, of Marn hull, rode over and very much injured Mr. Beaumont, of Shipton, who generously declined prosecuting him, upon liis making a public apology in an advertisement and paying all expences. We hope this will tend to check an offence that occurs but too frequently in our streets on market days. Two most audacious instances of robbery occurred last week at Shaftesbury :— On Sunday evening, whilst Mr. Charles Roberts and his family were at a place of worship, a man took out a pane of glass from his passage window, and having obtained access to the shop, took from the till the money that had been left therein on Saturday night: an accomplice, who stood at the end of the passage, told a young woman who was about to call upon them, that the family were at chapel. The other instance was still more daring : whilst a man was driving a cart through the town, about eleven o'clock at night, a man stopped the horse, and when the driver got out of the cart to ascertain the cause, he was immediately knocked down, and his pockets rifled ; but the noise attracted several persons to the spot, and three men who reside at Motcombe have since been secured and charged with the commission of this ^ outrage. Committed to Fisherton Gaol:— Mark Keene, charged with poaching in the night of the 25th Dec. last, with several other persons, in a close in the parish of Bradford Henry Earl, charged with stealing a gun, the property of Mr. John Cooe, of Milford.
