Annexed there i « an ancient, yet a substantially- built Mansion on the Estate, the Residence of former Owners, now occu- pied by a Farmer,' and which at an easy Expense might be restored to its former Splendour, a Cireuin- fttniice of no small Importance to Sportsmen, from the House bailiff in the Centre of the Shropshire Hunt^ and a Pack of Harriers being kept in tbe adjoining Parish.

AMP COUHIETl OF WAM » IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOVSF. OF LORDS— FRIDAY. Tiie Roman Catholic Relief Bill and the Irish Forty Shilling Freeholders1 Disfranchisement B'll having passetl through Committee on Tuesday, Wed- nesday, atid Thursday, amid much discussion and ineft'eclitkl opposition, the third reading was fixed for this iiiiy. On the order of the day being read, the Marquis of Camden anil Viscount Granville spoke in support of the Relief Bill. The Earl of EI. DON followed, and addressed the House at very considerable length, recapitulating and enforcing many ut the arguments he had pre- viously urged agdinst the meastiffe in tiie course of its progress; and concluding as follows :—" This bill, 1 do riiost conscientiously believe, will be the means of bringing the Government into a situation of the utmost duhger, and of exposing our Protestant Church to the peril of being undermined and destroyed. 1 do not say that this will happen instantly. Those with whom we have to deal are nitich too wary to apprise us, bv any immediate conduct, of the danger to which we are bringing ourselves. But, when 1 shall have undergone the common lot of mortality, pud snail have iiceh consigned to the grave, 1 have i, t> more doubt that this result will be accomplished ( ban that 1 am standing here now. I pray to God that the evils may be averted which 1 foresee. Your lordships now hear the words of a man who must soon go and render his great account to his Maker. Ma) God forgive me, if I ant doihg wrong; hut it is a breach tit eVery notion of the principles that should regulate my civil conduct— of every notion that 1 have of the sense I should have of all the oaths I have taken, if 1 do not persevere in my opposition to this measure. My lords, pardon me, while a man advanced so far as 1 am in years, declares that he is Willing to give up the short remainder of his life, rather than know that, this measure was carried. 1 declare solemnly, my lords, that I would rathe r hear this moment that I shall cease to live to- morrow, or never awake to- morrow morning, than, after all the consideration 1 have given to this subject during a long life, possibly give my consent to the repeal of laws which 1 deem fundamental, and as necessary to » ht preservation of the throne as the church, and for the security of the aristocracy, as for the safety of the constitution of the country, as it is composed of King, Lords, and Commons;— I say, that I would rather hear that I am not 16 exist to- morrow morning, nnd am never to awake from my sleep again, than 1 froiild that this measure is to become the law of the land." The Learned Lord was succeeded by the Earl of Harrowby, the Bishop of Norwich, the Luke of Athol, Viscount Middleton, the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, the Duke of Sussex, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and Lord Holland, in favour of the bill; and by the Earl of Abingdon, the Duke of Newcastle, the Farl of Koden, the Earl of Falmouth, the Duke of Cumberland, and the Bishop of Bath and Wells, in opposition to it. The Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY, in giving his support to the measure, said he conceived its tendency to be to promote the interests of the Protestant religion, and to extend the blessings of religious toleration. He had derived a strong feeling nf satisfaction from the number and language of the petitions against the bill, because they betokened such a zeal for the interests of the Protestant Church as would afford its best security, and prove its best safeguard. The bill he considered contained in itself the best securities for the Protestant establishments, were it only for the increased watchfulness it would create in the Protestant mind. Its benefits would, he was convinced, in a short time be seen in the increased number of Protestants in Ireland, and in the increased number of children that would have recourse to the Protestant schools in that country, for the means of a Sound education. It would be seen also in the dimin- ished influence of the Roman Catholic Priesthood. What Ireland would chiefly want after the passing of the present bill would he the diffusion of the blessings « f the Protestant religion ; and what that diffusion would require for its success was education. He therefore implored the Noble Duke not to limit his efforts for the improvement of Ireland to the present measure. Though the tendency of that measure was to strengthen the Protestant religion, it was equally true ( hat neitner that measure nor that religion would be sufficient if unaided. He hoped therefore that new churches would be built— that new means of education would be founded— and that the grants to the Protestant Charter Schools instead of being diminished would be encouraged. He again implored the Noble Duke as a man, a patriot, and a christian, to persist in these and every other means adapted to promote the interests of the Protestant religion in Ireland, and to diffuse the blessings of the Reforma- tion in that country. The present he admitted was a step towards that most desirable end, but still it was but a step; far more should be done before Noble Lords would cease to complain of danger to our Church Establishment from the artifices of Popery. The House divided, about half- past one o'clock : Contents- Present Proxies .

At a quarter before four o'clock, the Lord Chan- cellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, arid Lord Ellen- borough, appeared in their robes as his Majesty's Commissioners A message having been sent for the attendance of the Commons, after a short time, The Speaker arid ! i considerable number of Mem- bers appeared at the Bar The Lbrds Commissioners then gavi his Majesty's Koval Aisent to, the ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL, IRISH FORTY- SHILLING FREEHOLDERS' DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL, and a nuriiber of Private Bills; and thus has the measure become the Law of the I . and. Forty or fifty Peers were present. The Duke of Norfolk was in attendance. HOUSE OF COMMONS— THIS EVENING. The Speaker took the Chair to- day at half- past three, and was shortly after summoned to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent givCri, by Com- mission, to certain Bills. The Speaker immediately proceeded to the Lords, attended by more than a hundred Members. On the return of the Speaket, the announcement by liini that the Royal Assent, had been given to the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, was received with the loudest cheers we ever heard within the walls of this House 111 [ From the Standard.] " And are we to forget that we had once a Protest- ant constitution ? And are we to forgive and to trust, and to persuade the people to trust, those who have robbed us of that blessing ? Are we, as we find some of our contemporaries propose to themselves, to forget that such tilings were, and were most dear to uS ? No. Thete is a moral justice, which will not sheath1 tlie sword, even in defeat. To the law we must submit without evasion ; but with the men who have forced the calamity upon us we will make no compromise, tiud we trust that such is the detSHiiih- atioh of the people : we trust that while one traitor of the apostate cabinet of 1829, or of their base supporters, retains tiie power of plunging his hand into the public chest, he may be pursued with the public vengeance in every form warranted by the law. In politics to forget the friends of your cause is imprudent and ungrateful ; but to extend your oblivion to the public enemy is madness and a crime — madness because it is an abandonment of the only hold which the people can ever have over the conduct of their public servants— a crime because it obliterates those limits of right and wrong which God has ordered to be made eternal, because it is a public and deliberate sanction of public and deli- berate iniquity." " With what feelings does the whole Christian world look upon the scenes that have lately been acting among us? We shall answer the question :— with feelings of the most profound scorn. We have no hesitation in saying that, in the basest period of the Roman empire, when a venal court, a corrupt senate, and an oppressed people, followed every caprice of a tyrant reigning by the sword*, that in the foulest excesses of wretched servility ever displayed by the dependants on the nod of the regent Orleans ; or that in the most scandalous and startling tergiversation in all forms and principles in which men could exhibit their pro'tnptitude in meanness, paltry equivocation, and. public abandonment of all the old and honourable pledges of person, office, and profession in the French revolution, their match would be found in this country at this hour. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. Every day teems with some new illu- mination of private motive influencing public acts, until we are compelled absolutely to think that all human integrity is a dream, that the strongest pro- fessions are incapable of being confided in, and that the most solemn pledges to God and man are given only for the purpose of the most specious and com- prehensive perfidy. " First come the statesmen. We have them dis- covering, by a sudden light, which they can commu- nicate to every man iu office and to no man out. of it, that their tfhole view of things for their whole oast lives has been an error j that measures which they in the most solemn nianuer had averted year after year to he pregnjint with infant ruin to the state, are not simply salutary but actually essential to its existence, and that the sooner we forget all that we have honoured, and that they have panegyrised, the better. " Then come the lawyers, trooping in, in ominous flights, to croak the downfall of the constitution; to tell us that all their own eternal harangues on its principles and permanency have been burlesque, that our conception of its Protestantism was a prejudice, that the brave men who expelled a king for bringing papists into parliament bad no objection to their being brought in; that the King who made it his solemn declaration before he set foot on British ground, that he would insist en every test which had formerly banished Papists from the legislature— the conqueror who followed them from field to field, until he saw them al his feet— the legislator who banished tiiCni— and the Sovereign who laid them under the iron chain of neual laws— did not intend to exclude them, by these things, from bringing their pernicious religion and pernicious policy, into the government of free and Protestant England. " Then come the patriots of old— the firm defenders of every folly of the fabble, and the theorists of every democratic frenzy, suddenly discovering that of ail governments the fittest, for England is a military one, — that the laws are best, administered by the men of the sword, and that the rights of the free, the sanctity of the religious, and the manly and generous inde- pendence of the cultivated mind, are in the highest state of security under an establishment of drum- head law. " Then come— and deepest and deadliest shame, and most awful sign of national ruin— the high guardians of Protestantism, casting off* at once all pretence to those tenets which they were appointed especially to defend ; pronouncing that the distinctions of doctrine, which Protestantism hail pronounced from the beginning to he as wide as the highest truth from the most wilful falsehood, were air; and that practices were compatible, which all the old liallowed authorities pronounced to be as deeply separated as heaven from hell. And for what has all this been done? To carry a measure utterly unne- cessary; a measure which has been repelled for a quarter of a century, without the slightest injury to the nation ; but, on the contrary, in the midst of the greatest and most growing prosperity of any nation that ever enjoyed the blessings of an approving and protecting Providence. " Do those divines, who would hurry us into the rmlinlen* Of Romv, rt- ml thn Scriptures, which have spoken of Rome ? Do they believe the solemn ilenunCitrtitnW contained in those Scriptures against the blood- thirstiness, Ihe perversion of truth, the foul practices, nay the idolatries of Rome 7 Do they know the declarations of the divine wrath, which is yet sworn to avenge these crimes in the utter ruin and desolation of the Romish doctrines, power, and worshippers? Do they deny the voice of inspiration, which has declared that all who remain ill popery, all wlio embrace its doctrines, and all who plead its cause, shall be wrapt up in the same God inflicted extinction ? " Come out of her, my people, that ye lie not pa rtakers of her plagues." Execution of Esther Ilibner.— Attempted Suicide of the Culprit. This morning, at the customary hour, Esther Hibner, ai^ ed 61, who was on Friday convicted of the murder of Frances Colpitis, her apprentice, under circumstahces of the greatest atrocity, suffered the last penalty of the law. The crime of the miserable woman being of that dreadful nature, the curipsity. uf Ihe public was strongly excited, add before the fatal hour had arrived, the Old Bailey, from one end to the other, was densely crowded by persons of all grades, and amongst them were an unusual number of wouicn. It appeared on the trial that tlie deceased, with other children, were apprenticed til Esther Hibner and her daughter, by the parish of St. Martin's, td learn the tambour- work: An investigation took place into the state of the children, and the treatment they had received, when it was ascertained that they had been subjected to a Series of cruelties of the most re- volting description. They were fed; and that Very' scantily, upon bad potatoes, slept on the floor, with only a single blanket to cover them during the depth of winter; and such was their state of privation, that they would, if possible, seize upon the food brought for the cat, and devour it most voraciously. They were washed, and their linen changed once a fort- night ; they had meat every other Sunday, but On the intermediate Sunday they were locked in a dark kitchen during the day, and fed upon cold potatoes. They were frequently beaten with a rod, a cane, and sometimes a slipper. During the late severe weather the head of the poor child was dipped into a pail of cold water. These and many other acts of cruelty proved too much for the constitution of two of the unfortunate children, the one the subject of the present charge, and another, and they died within a short time of each other. Mr. Wright, a surgeon, iras tailed in to attend the child, Colpitis, and found her in a very emaciated state, and her toes mortified. On a post mortem examination, this gentleman jvas of opinion that her death had been occasioned by an abscess on the lungs and mortification of the ex- tremities. The alisccss he attributed to want of proper food and nourishment, and the mortification to ex- posure tb the wet and cold. From the moment of conviction till she ceased to exist Hibner showed the most hardened disposition; refusing to listen to the exhortations of Dr. Cotton, the Ordinary of the Gaol, and her sullenness to all about her was bcyoud precedent. Mr. W'ontner, the Governor, asked her on Saturday if she would wish to see any of her- relations or friends before her death. She replied, sulkily, " No, 1 don't want to see any of tiiem." - However, yesterday, she took leave of her daughter ( who, it will be remembered, was tried, together with Ann Robinson, the servant maid, for the same offence, and acquitted, but detained to answer an indictment, fur Assaulting Jane Lawman, another of their apprentices). The inter- view on the part of either of them was not of the description generally witnessed within the walls of Newgate; they received each other with all the indifference imaginable, the wretched woman com- plaining to her daughter of the diet allowed her— she' hail asked to be permitted to have " some mutton chops for dinner, but wis refused, and told that the only food that could possibly be allowed her was bread and water. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon, after she had taken leave of her daughter, she requested the two female attendants who were stationed w ith her jo allow her to go to some place, to which they assented; not having the slightest idea that she meditated suicide, all means having been taken from her after her condemnation. The women thinking the miser- able woman longer than she ought to be, opened the door, when the wretched creature was found sitting with her head drooping, and the blood flowing copiously from a wound in the gullet which she had effected with a case or common dinner knife, aud very blunt and knotched, which she contrived to secrete in her stocking when the other women were served with their dinners. An alarm immediately took placfe, and she was instantly secured with a strait jacket, which was kept upon her till her last moments. Dr. Box, the surgeon, was sent fur, and dressed the wound, which was about art inch long, but not injuring the windpipe. In the course of the evening, the miserable wretch, in allusion to the attempt she had made, said carelessly, " I did not mean to kill myself; I only did it thinking I should be allowed to live a few days longer." At about a quarter before eight o'clock, Mr. Sheriff Booth and the two Undcr- Sherift's, Richardson and Tilson, arrived, and shortly after were admitted into a little room denominated the Wine Room. In a few miuutes the wretched old woman was led in between two of the officers. Her ghastly and squalid countenance was beyond description. She was dressed in a white cotton bed- gown, over a black stuff petti- coat ; her arms, in addition to the strait waistcoat, were pinioned; and without the usual ceremony of reading the Funeral Service, or the tolling of the prison bell, she was removed to the scaffold. No sooner was the culprit observed at the foot of. the steps leading to the gallows, than those who were at the opposite windows gave the signal, and her ap- proach to the fatal engine was received amidst the huzzas and execrations of the assembled multitude, which was kept up till the drop fell, when the yells of the whole of the mob became deafening. The miserable wretch never opened her lips during the awful proceedings, and appeared quite unmoved at the exultations of the mob. The executioner having adjusted the rope about her neck, and her petticoats being also tied about her, the Rev. Ordinary gave the usual signal anil the drop fell. The wretched culprit seemed to die instantly ; and after the body hail been left suspended for one hour, it, was cut dawn and delivered to the surgeons for dissection, pursuant to the sentence.

Even the commencement of the Ramadan had produced no relaxation, and immense numbers of troops and great quantities of cannon and anlmiinitiort had been sent, partly by land, to Adrianople, and partly by sea, to Rodoato. The Porte, it was expected would have at least 300,000 men in the field, Europeans and Asiatics, but the exact time at which Ihe New Grand Vizier would be ready to put himself at the head of tbe army was not known. Numbers of ships had been built or repaired so as to form a powerful armament, if good sailors could be procured But, in the absence of the Greeks, by whom the Ottoman fleets used chiefly to be manned, it was impossible to provide efficient crews. The 13th day of the Ramadan was the day said to have been fixed for the departure of the Sultan for the army. It was thought that he would stop some time at Adrianople, in the plains of which it was also imagined that the fate of the empire would be decided, if the Russians should succeed in crossing the Balkan.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR,—- Your correspondent, who signs himself « An Independent Burgess," appears to me to be so funda- mentally in error as to the propriety, or even the possibility^ of a Candidate giving a pledge of his future vofe, that I take the liberty of submitting to him the following extract from a speech delivered by Mr. Burke to the electors of Bristol in 1774: " It ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative, to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the most unreserved communication with his constituents. Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinion high respect; their business unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasures, his satisfactions, to theirs j and above all, ever and in all cases, to prefer their interest to his own. But his unbiassed opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you, to- any man, or to any set of men living. These he does not derive from your pleasure; no, nor from the law and the constitution. They are a trust from Providence, for the abuse of which he is deeply answerable. Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.... Government and legislation are matters of Reason and judgment, and not of inclination; and what sort of reason is that, in which the determination precedes the dis- cussion; in which one set of men deliberate, and another decide; and where those who form the conclusion, are perhaps three hundred miles distant from those who hear the argu- ments] To deliver, an opinion is the right of all men ; that of constituents is a weighty and respectable opinion, which h representative ought always to rejoice to hear; and which he ought always most seriously to consider. But authoritative instructions, Mandates issued, which the member is bonnd blindly and implicitly to obey, to vote, and to argue for, though Contrary to the clearest conviction of his judgment and conscience- these are things utterly unknown to the laws of the land, and which arise from a fundamental mistake of the whole order and tenor of our constitution. Parliament is not a congress of ambassadors from different and hostile interests; which interests each must maintain, as an agent and advocate, against other agents and advocates- but Parliament is a deli', berative assembly of one nation, with one interest, that of the whole| where, not local purposes, not local prejudices ought to guide, but the general good, resulting from the general reason of the whole. You chuse a member indeed ; but when you have chosen him, he is not member of Bristol, but he is a member of Parliament." With these principles T entirely Coincide : they are in fact the principles of common sense, of political honesty, and of the British Constitution. A consti- tuent has a right to demand of a candidate, what are his sentiments upon any given subject at this parti- cular time : he has a right to expect a plain, unequi- vocal answer; and according to that answer he will give or withhold his vote; But to go farther than this; to ask of the Candidate, how he means to vote at any future time, when new arguments may have arisen,- and circumstances may have entirely altered^ is alike unconstitutional and subversive of all honesty. It must vest upon one of these two assumptions: either that, the member's mind is made up for ever, and is in fact impervious to argument; or that he is prepared to vote against argument, and against con- viction. Now if I could persuade myself that Mr. Corbett had given a pledge upon " the Catholic Question1' at the last election, ( which I well know that he did not,) t should take higher grtiund against him than your correspondent, and should censure him for entering the deliberative assembly of the House of Commous, with a mind hermetically sealed against deliberation. But it was because he gave no such pledge, because he recognized the principle that a member is to be unfettered by any previous bias, that I supported him at the last election, though his previous votes against concession had not been in accordance with my own opinions. That this was the principle of Mr. Corbett, we have his own recorded declaration : and I shall only copy the following extract from the speech which he delivered on the 7th of June, 1826: — " Although I would not pledge myself to vote for or against this or any other general question, until it has been brought before and discussed in Parliament, I shall be ready to attend to the opinions of my constituents on all public questions, and to give my vote in accordance with the wishes of my constitu- ents on all questions that, locally interest this borough; still " reserving to myself the right of judging, and of voting accord. ing to my judgment, on all general public questions, and of exercising my opinion as I shall think most conducive to your benefit and the welfare of the kingdom at large." Such was the only pledge given by Mr. Corbett in 1826: a pledge that he would deliberate carefully and vote conscientiously. That pledge he has re- deemed in 1829: and though some of his constituents may think him wrong in his judgment, I never will believe that a majority of them would sanction the ruinous and unconstitutional principles which your correspondent appears to entertain.

Roman Catholic Relief Billy [ FROM THB STAR OF BRUNSWICK, ] The Bill has passed in the House of Lords by a majority of one hundred and five, and the Constitu- tion of England has ceased to exist,. We refer cur readers th the debates, by which it will be found that af! the sense, law, and argument^ were against the n^ easitrei of the 1) ICTATOR. Of the speech of this ipSfti, who in an evil hour was called upon to preside over the'Councils of these unfortunate countries, we can-^ scarcely bring ourselves to speak with temper. It does not contain a single statement or assertion, put forward or adduced for the Revolution he is working, that would not be equally applicable if the Irish Papists insisted upon having a King of their own < freed, or avowed their determination of not. having a King at. all. Suppose them to decree that the Protestant religion should be exterminated, and its professors driven from their homes, does not the same machinery remain, is not. the same organization in existence, which the DICTATOR asserts compelled him to carry a measure that he a year since strenu- ously opposed ? They have but to change the mode of attack, and) according to his own admission, they must succeed. In the progress of his address, he condescended;, to Estate eleven positions, which he dignified with the name of reasons. They are as follows: 1. The existence of the Roman Catholic Association, 2. The election of Popish Churchwardens. 3. The election of O'Connell. 4. The march of Jack Lawless on Ballibay. 5. flPhe simultaneous meetings. 6. Certain tumults at Templemore, and some half a dozen other places. 7. Some proceeding's of gentlemen ( not named) in the King's County. / 8. An attack upon the town of Ardagh. 9. Ditto on the town of Charleville. 10. A motion proposed by a person of the name of Forde in th. e Romish' Association for discontinuing dealing with Pro- testants. 11. The preclusion of his ftfajcstij from the enjoyment of one of his preroyntive*- - mz the grcation of an. Irish Peer! Independently of these, he infers another, and with a mysterious look, and a significant shrug, says, in an ominous Voice—" If Noble Lords but knew that, which has come to the knowledge of tjie Ministers of the Crown, but which it would be hi*! prudent in us to disqlqse, they would not offer the opposition to the only measure left us, which they now present." And what is, this mighty secret ? Why, forsooth, that the Priests, and the Association, and the. Members of Liberal Clubs, have been tampering with the King's troops ; and that out of the thirty thousand soldiers now quartered in Ireland, the co- operation of not more than a third could be calculated upon in the evept. of it becoming necessary to call them into action. We. think it very likely— indeed we have no doiibt of the fact, that the Priests have been using that mischievous influence which their religion gives them over the minds of men, in estranging the sol- diers from the allegiance which they owe their Sovereign ; but we are confident that that influence has pot been successfully used to any thing like the extent insinuated by the Duke and his party ; and we come to this conclusion for the simple reason, that there are not twenty, nor ten thousand Popish soldiers in the country. But supposing the fact to be, that one- third of the disposable force were traitors, and that their defection, or imagined defec- ting^ left no alternative to. the Government but that bf ^ bmiSSion to the demands of the Papists, will it be argued that Emancipation being forced or conceded, the meaps by which the success is acknowledged to have been achieved would become extinct, or be less effective as a power, in the hands by which it was wielded, for accomplishing any other purpose con- templated? No, no— all the causes remain, and may be rendered available whenever the arrogance or the insolence of Papists may require their exertion.

Our readers will see, by the division which took place in the House of Lords on Saturday, on the Catholic Question, that there were two Lords in favour of the question to one against it. Last year the majority in the House of Lords against it was forty- four. So much for a measure being recom- mended by the King and his Ministers, in comparison with a measure emanating from an Opposition side of a House. But the King and his Ministers are the fountain- head of power, places, and pensions, and Opposition is not. Now every body knows that self- love— sheer interest— is the ruling passion of man- kind. No wonder, then, that there should he such a dift'eresce between this and last year. That the measure will be carried, and assented to by the King, there can be no doubt, and we shall have Catholics in both Houses— Catholic Judges— Catholic advisers— arid perhaps, eventually, a King with a Catholic wife; or, by possibility, in the long run, we may have a Catholic King. Should such be the casie, then the Catholic Clergy would be stirring themselves, in order to get hold again of the Church property. It is said that there is a re- action in all things; and when we consider the fact of two to ond in favour of Pro- Popery this year, and a majority against it last year of 44, who CJ'. n say but that, there is now a very great re- action ? It is not improbable but that, in a Session or two, a provision will be proposed for the Catholic Clergy. John Bull must not think that he will escape taxation for a provision for the Catholic Priests. If'he supposes that he will come off so cheaply as the present Bill provides, he will be mis- taken. He will, in the long run, have to pay two Clmrchcs instead of one. This will be one of the results of Catholic Emancipation.— English Chron. On Wednesday, the Duke of Newcastle, Lords ( FalttKiuth, Guilford, and Howe, had audiences of the Kjngf and on Thursday the Earl of Eldon proceeded again to Windsor, and presented to his Majesty a number of petitions against the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. Lord Glenlyon had also an audience for a similar purpose. On Wednesday evening was married liy special license, hy his Grace the Archbishop of York, Viscount Stormont, eldest son of the Earl of Mansfield, to Louisa, third daughter of Cuthbert Ellison, Esq. M. Pi The ceremony took place at the house of the latter in Whitehall gardens, immediately after which the happy couple left town for the Earl of Mansfield's villa, Caen Wood. At the late Gloucester Assizes an action was brought by Mr. Willis, formerly private secretary to the late Lord Nelson, against a Mr. Birket, for crimifov. The Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with £ 2000 damages. On Monday at the same Assizes a cause was tried, the King v. lVvaft. It was an indictment arising out of. the Teddesley inclosure act ( passed in 1614) preferred by E. J. Littleton, Esq. M. P. for the county of Stafford, against the defendant, a respect- able land surveyor in that county, for having conspired with one" Robert Ilarvey, deceased, fraudu- lently to charge for their travelling expellees, as commissioners appointed under the said Inclosure act, larger sums than the act allowed ; and also for having fraudulently appointed their clerk as nominal surveyor, the defendant and Mr. Harvey, the com- missioners, being themselves the real surveyors contrary, as was also alleged, to the meaning of fhe act in question. The case Excited great interest, from the cScnmstance of Sir James Scarlett having been specially retained to conduct the defendant's case The venue had been removed from Staffordshire, on account of the great influence of the prosecutor in that county.— Mr.. Campbell, with whom was Mr. Serjeant Russell, stated the case and called evidence in proof of it. Sir James Scarlett, with w hom were Mr. Taunton, Mr. Whateley, and Mr. Alexander, addressed the jury for the defendant in a powerful speech. He declined going into the case for the defence, but let it go to the jury as made out for the prosecution. He then called Lord Anson, Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart. Thomas Gisborne, Esq. and several other gentlemen of the highest respectability to speak to defendant's character ; they unanimously bore testimony, many of them from a thirty years' acquaintance, to the high character of the defendant for honour, honesty, and integrity. Mr. Justice Park summed up and commented on the weakness of the prosecutor's evidence to support, a criminal charge. The jury almost immediately acquitted the defendant. The trial lasted seven hours. Story from the Irish Courts of Law. I1I. ACKWOOD R. BLACKWOOD. At Pownpatrick, on Wednesday week. We shall r date the story as developed by the trial, not, report the trial itself, which occupied three days. There lived in ( he small town of. Bangor, in the, county Down, an old man of flic name of Blackwood, who had never been married, was very wealthy, and of penurious habits. He had lived in the same house for nearly ninety years. This John Blackwood had a brother, Pinkston Blackwood, a surgeon, who died in London, childless; also three sisters, one of whom only had married and left a family; she married a Mr. O'Reilly, by whom she had six cliililren ; three of these died early in life; three survive; Hugh, the eldest, heir- at- law to John Bla kwood, Fleming PinkSton, and William. This Fleming Pink « ton O'Reilly, the second son, had, very early in life, married indiscreetly, and had been cast off by his father: being, ho. vever, a man of ability and right principle, he had struggled successfully with his ill fortune, anil had overcome it; and his. uncle, old Blackwood, was so pleased to see his success, that he countenanced him, and at length determined to adopt one of his sons as liH heir, Mr. O'Reilly accordingly sent his infant son, John, to his uncle. This cbilil was reared by old Blackwood as his adopted son; took, by his desire, the name of Blackwood ( John O'Reilly Blackwood), and was treated as the heir of his grand- uncle's fortune. In the year 1819 ( this young man being then a lad of seventeen years of age, and having lived with his grand- uncle from his infancy), the grand- uncle made his will in which lie bequeathed the principal part of his fortune to this John O'Reilly Blackwood. This will was duly drawn, witnessed, & c. the testator being in the 87th year of his age, but perfectly sound in mind and body. We have, now to introduce another person into the narrative. The brother ol John Blackwood, Pinkston Blackwood, who died in London in the capacity of a surgeon, left no family ; but lie left a housekeeper, who, some time after the death of Pinkston Black- wood, produced a son, w hose existence she ascribed to ( he deceased Pinkston Blackwood, and whom she called by his name. This Piukston Blackwood was brought up by bis mother as well as she could, and he became, in process of time, a surgeon. - He was not successful ; he had travelled and voyaged, and seen much of the world, but he did not prosper. At length he bethought him of looking after his supposed rela- tion, fhe wealthy John Blackwood. IN the summer of 1798 ( about the period of tbe Irish rebellion), there stepped over the threshold of John Blackwood's door a young man of good address, not over w ell apparelled, who claimed kindred with the old man, in the manner already related. The old man was surprised, but did not refuse the hospitality of l is roof, such as it was, to the nephew. He lived with him a'good while, obtained material pecuniary assistance from him, and at length he •• seined to have seftled himself verv well in Bangor. Th ere was, however, something malign in his star. He fell from this well- doing one degree after another: and at length, to supply bis necessities, he devised a scheme to possess himself of the fortune of the old man. John O'Reilly Blackw ood, the heir adopted of John Blackwood, lutd by this time grown to be a man; bad served an apprenticeship in Belfast, to a great mer- cantile house ( Ihe house of Willson and Sons); arid returning to Bangor, his uncle cast about to put him forward in some industrious manner of life. He formed a partnership for htm with one Hannah, in the cotton- spinning business, he himself ( old Black wood) becoming also a partner in the concern, and advancing the money for his own part and that of his grand- nephew. This was the . found ition upon which the illegitimate nephew, Pinkston Blackwood, laid his scheme. He communicated with Hugh O'Reilly, the heir- at- law, a gentleman of fortune, residing near Dublin, and represented to him that their uncle was being abused by John O'Reilly Blackwood and others; that they were getting his money from him on pretence of business occasions, and that they were at. the same time neglecting the care of tbe old man's life and comfort. Upon this it was devised to carry off old Blackwood, which was accordingly effected: he was taken to the house of Pinkston Blackwood, in Kilcleah, a small town in the same county, and there kept secreted from all his relations.— it. was in these cir- cumstances a will was made, dated in 1823,. in which the fortune of the testator was left principally to Pinkston Blackwood; and John O'Reilly Blackwood was cut off with a legacy of a doubtful nature, being a sum of money so placed that it was unlikely it would ever be recovered. John Blackwood died soon after, and the parties now claim bis wealth under these two wills, Pinkston Blackwood being in possession, and accordingly defendant in the suit. There is yet another article which farther complicates the story, and adds a little to the interest and intricacy of this novel or romance of real life. The principal part of the fortune of the deceased was certain lands adjoin ing the estate of a man of large fortune and . much consequence in the county of Down, Mr. Cunninghame Gregg. This gentleman greatly desired to possess himself of these lands, but the old man obstinately refused to negociate for the sale of his land. When, however, he was in the power of Pinkston Blackwood, Mr. Cunninghame Gregg renewed bis treaty with him for the lands, and actually Imivght the lands. The arises, therefore, anew question here:— if this sale was a legal transaction, the plaintiff w ill only have a claim upon the defendant fir the purchase money; but there is a suit in the Court of Exchequer against Cunuinghame Gregg, to recover ' possession of the lands themselves, on the ground that the sale was not a just and legal transaction. Such is an epitome of the story of this cause. The jury gave their verdict, finding for the will of 1819— thus decreeing the property to the adapted heir of the old man. Stephenson the Banker.

Considerable alarm appears to be excited amon; auctioneers and others professionally interested in the disposal of property by public sale, at. the proposed enactnients of the bill in progress in the Commons to repeal the existing excise duties on auctions, and to make other regulations in lieu thereof The bill, a copy of which lias been printed, repeals tbe existing duty of five per cent, upon tbe amount of goods actually sold, and imposes instead a duty of one per cent, upon the highest price or sum bidden for any goods, lands, tenements, & c. not exceeding the value of £ 10,000, put up or offered to be disposed of at any auction after the 5th day of July next, whether the same be sold or bought in ; and it does not appear, as is at present the case, to exempt from the operation of duty public stiles of property under com- missions of bankruptcy, or by direction of the Sheriff under executions. The act, if carried into effect as at present framed, will operate unfavourably on the disposal of property of every description.— The fol- lowing is the resolution as agreed to by the House of Commons:— That the present duty of excise on pro- perty sold by auction should cease ; and that in lieu thereof there should be charged, on every £ 100, when the sum did not exceed £ 10,000, £ 1; when the sum exceeded £ 10,000, and did not amount to £ 20,000, the duty should be £ 1 on every £ 100 of the first £ 10,000, and 10s. on every £ 100 after; when the sum exceeded £ 20,000, and did not amount to £ 40,0u0, the duty should be 15s. on every £ 100 of the first £ 20,000, and 5s. on every £ 100 af er; when the sum exceeded £ 40,000, the duty should be 10s. on every £ 100 of the first £ 40,000, and Is. on every £ 100 after ; and in the case of the amount not being £ 100 altogether, or of there being a fraction of a £ 100, the duty should be 2| d, per pound. A miserly bachelor schoolmaster died a short time since at Exeter, who had worn the same coat 20 years, and had himself darned his worsted stockings so many times, tbat no remains of the original colour were perceptible. After his interment his poor relatives sent for a gentleman to look over his scraps of paper, and on the tester of the bed were found, wrapt up in pieces of worsted rags or old stockings, sixteen hundred pounds in interest notes from different Exeter Bankers, of 2i per cent, commencing 35 years since; the interest of none of which had been applied for; the compound interest of the whole would hav$ been £ 4000. A dread of being required to assist his relatives, appears to have been his motive for with- holding the secret of his wealth. On Thursday morning, the Tewkesbury fishermen, whilst dragging the Severn for salmon, caught'a large sturgeon, which had apparently come up the river to spawn ; it was upwards of seven feet long, and nearly three feet round, and was afterwards exhibited alive in the town. The last sturgeon caught at that fishery was in 1725; which beinglanded at the Town Ham, was claimed by the Corporation, as Lords of the Royalty, and was accordingly delivered to the Bailiffs; but the present fish was landed at the Bushley side of the river, and therefore belongs to J. E. " Dowdeswell, Esq. the Lord of the Manor there. New York, March 18.— The excitement produced in London by the disappearance of Rowland Ste- phenson was, we venture to say, fully equalled in this city by his appearance among us, under the circum- stances of the case, which shew the perpetration of one of the most high- handed and illegal measures on record itt our country. This is emphatically a coun- try of laws, which were made bbth for the innocent and guilty,' and it behoves every good citizen to use all honourable exertions to see them properly exe- cuted, and that no outrageous breach of tliem should go unpunished. We have no intention of saying any thing that tun be, in the least, construed into a desire to screen the guilty, but we claim, in the language of an Evening cotempnrary, « that for guilt and inno- cence alike be one rule of proceeding; and that— tbe rule prescribed by the law." We yesterday briefly announced the arrival of Mr.. Stephenson in this city, in the pilot- boat, Savannah, from Savannah. We now learn the following circum- stances relative to bis forcible arrest, which may lie fully relied upo. i:— It appears that Stephenson and Lloyd left. Savannah in a chaise on fhe 9th instant* arid, after proceeding about fifteen miles, the chaise was upset, and the former was thrown out and very much injured. He succeeded, however, in reachih <• the residence of a physician, about two miles distant from the place where he met with the accident, where he had bis wounds dressed, took some refresh- ment, and retired to rest, le aving his companion Lloyd sifting up. About half- past 12 o'clock Lloyd came to his room, and said some person wanted him ; on which he rose, put. on his clothes, and as he was about leaving the room two men entered, armed with pistols, and passed by Lloyd, to whom they observed,' " You are not the man," and going up to Stephenson, one of them accosted him, and said, " You are the man— you are my prisoner." They were immediately joined by two others, when fhey forcibly dragged him down striirs, put him into a carriage, and drove him off to Savannah, leaving Lloyd behind. They arrived at the citf before day- liglit, when he was transferred to a pilot- boat, which conveyed him some distance down the river, and then put hini on board the Savannah, which brought him to this city. As tliev were passing through the town he attempted to . look out of the window, when one of the ruffians told him, if he did s<>, they would blow his brains out. Thus was accomplished this daring act. One of the men concerned in the arrest came to this city with him, and says he is a deputy gaoler of Savannah. When tbe vessel arrived in our bay Stephenson told the Captain his arrest was illegal, when the Captain romised to land him on the Jersey shore, or put him on board some vessel bound to the southward; but,, from some cause or other, he changed his mind, and delivered him up to the British Consul, and Mr. Hayes, the High Constable. We now come to the proceedings in this city:— After it was generally knotvn that lie had arrived, and the manner of his arrest in Georgia ascertained, several Members, of the Bar volunteered their ser- vices, and took out a writ of llalreas Corpus, in order that lie might be brought before the proper aut!\ or- ity, and rescued from his illegal detention. Tliev made every exertion to serve the writ. that night, bijt - did not succeed. It was, however, served at six o'clock, on Mr., Buchanan, the British Consul, and the High Constable, Mr. Hayes; and at one o'clock Stephenson was brought, before' the Recorder, at his Chamber in the City Hall. . Air. Hiker then stated tlie facts of the can", anrl inquired if any gentleman wished to proceed on the Habeas? Being answered in tbe negative, he stid that the prisoner was discharged from custody on the writ. Mr. Robert. E nmet then rose, and observed he wa « authorised to state that as far as the British Cousttl was concerned, his conduct on this occasion had been perfectly delicate aiid proper; and lie was instructed to make the same remark with respect, to Mr. Goodhue. Mr. Sf.- O. Patterson ( mho appeared as counsel for Stephenson) here rose, and ohserved that he was perfectly satisfied with the explanations made by the gentleman, relative to the conduct of the Consul and Mr. Goodhue; but there were ulterior proceedings contemplated, and, if the gentleman chose to go cm with the business, he stood ready to nullify them [ Here some sharp language took place between Peter A. Jay, Esq. and Mr. Patterson, which was put au end t. 0 by the Recorder, who interposed.] The British Consul then observed, that he had had nothing to do with the proceedings at Savannah. Two men came arid informed him that Stephenson had arrived; he accordingly went on board tl> e vessel, and brought him ashore. He felt a strong sympathy for the disconsolate man, and was anxious to serve him as far as he consistently could. Stephen- son appeared conscious of his good intentions, and asked him for advice, when he offered to afford him every assistance in his power. Mr. Goodhue then made an explanation of hij agency in the matter, and disclaimed any knowledge of the proceedings in Georgia. Stephenson was then taken in charge by Mr. Shaw, the High Sheriff, on the suit of Sir. Parkins, and conveyed to the debtors' prison He had not been long there before Mr. Parkins came in, when a very affecting interview took place between them. The moment Stephenson recognized the Ex- Sheriff he exclaimed, " Hear my story— don't condemn me yet. I solemnly declare 1 am not the guilty man you sup- pose me." Both appeared very much overcome, and on Stephenson making known his destitute condition, the Ex- Sheriff assured him that he need not be under any apprehensions with respect to him, for if his circumstances were such as he stated, he should not. distress him. We understand that Stephenson, by the advice of his Counsel, made affidavit of the ill- treatment he had received from the Captain of the pilot- boat Savannah and the soi- disant deputv- gaoler, and that warrants were accordingly issued against them The vessel was visited by the officers in the evening with the view of serving the warrant upon the offending indi- viduals; but it appeared that they had made their escape a short time previous in a small boat, and had steered for the New Jersey shore, leaving the pilot- boat in charge of two or three hoys, who had consti- tuted part of her crew. At midnight last night the Savannah was lying off the battery at anchor, care- fully watched by the officers, in order to prevent her escape.

At Warwick Assizes, on Thursday, Thomas F. nsor was indicted for maliciously shooting at John Sliiui, Gamekeeper to the Earl of Denbigh, at Newnham Paddox, in December last, with intent to kill him, and sixteen others, his companions, with aiding and abetting him. John Slinn was the principal evidence, and minutely described the circumstances attending fhe attack made upon him ; his statement was fully corroborated by others present, and confirmed by the. testimony of two accomplices admitted King's evidence. After a few remarks from the Judge, the jury consulted for a short time and returned a verdict of guilty against F. isor; and of aiding and abetting against all the other prisoners, reconi- mending, however, the latter to the merciful con- sideration of the Court. His Lordship said he felt much relieved by fhe verdict, assuring them tin ir merciful recommendation should be attended to. His Lordship afterwards intimated to the latter prisoners, that he bad great hope their lives would bo spared : they were all of them young men. SALOPIAN JOUBKAL, AM © COUE3EB, OF WALES.

SIR, As it is reported, that his Grace the Duke of Wel- lington is displeased with ( lie Wesley an Methodists, for ( heir exertions in, the North of England as Anti- Catholics, a respectable Journal has vindicated them, and eulogized their strenuous and persevering endea- vours to enlighten the Papists of Ireland. The sin- gular affinity subsisting between the Wesley s and the Wellcsleys was not noticed by the friends . of the former- until of late years. Mr. Moore, the Biogra- pher of t| ie Wesleys, unfolds this transaction in the following manner:— " When he ( Mr. Charles Wesley) had been some years at Westminster school, a gentleman of large fortune in Ireland ^ rcite to his father, and asked if lie bad any son named Charles,— if so, he would make him his heir. Accordingly, a gentleman in London brought money for his education several years. But one year, another gentleman called, probably Mr. Wesley himself, talked largely with him, and asked if he was willing to go with him' to Ireland. Mr. Charles desired to write to his father, who answered immediately, referring it to his own choice. He chose to stay in England. This gentleman then found and adopted another Charles Wesley, who was the late Earl of Mornington, ancestor of the present Marquis Wellesley and the Duke of Wellington. < A fair escape,' says Mr. John Wesley, from whose short account of his brother I have taken this anecdote.

Auckland Abercromby AGAINST THE SECOND READING OF THE CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. .. Dissentient, First,— Because the passing of this bill will effect the overthrow of the British Protestant constitution, tend to re- establish popery, and infringe the compact solemnly entered into between the King and his people. Second,— Because the laws of England are the birthright of the people thereof; and alt the Kings and Queens who shall ascend the throne of this realm Ought to administer the gbveihment of the sam6 according to the same laws ; and all their officers and ministers ought to serve them respectively according to the same ; and this bill violates the laws of Eng- land as re- established in 1688, inasmuch as that the constitution will be no longer purely Protestant, but mixed and dangerous, as it was becoming in tHe time of Charles the Second. Third,— Because, by reason of fhe liberty which this bill will give to papists to sit and vote in parlia- ment, the same increase and danger of popery may be expected to recur which was specially provided against in 1677, from a present and practical know- ledge of the evil. Fourth,—• Because it is unwise to set experience at defiance, and it is unjustifiable to subvert the funda- mental laws of the realm upon the temporary plea of expediency ; and it is dangerous to our religion, laws, and liberties, that enactments hitherto considered to be fixed and permanent, and intended to stand, remain, and be the law of the realm for ever, should be broken in upon, and their spirit and character totally changed and destroyed. Fifth,— Because a proneness to depart from old institutions, and to speculate in new systems of government, gives just cause of apprehension for the present as well as for the future. We therefore solemnly protest against this fatal infraction of the principles and practice of our Pro- testant constitution. ( Signed) NEWCASTLE. For the third and fourth reasons, ( Signed) KENYON.

Address of ihe Irish Prelates. " Tlie Coronation Oath is administered to every King l> y one of the Archbishoptf of the realm; in fhe presence of all the people. The people, at the same time, do reciprocally take the oath of allegiance to the crown." The Oath of Allegiance is not more binding on the subjcct than the Coronation Oath is binding on the sovereign. Fart of this Oath is conceived in the following term.: — " Archbishop.— Will yon to the UTMOST of yonr power maintain ihe lans of God, the 1ne profession of the gospel, and the protestant reformed religion established by law ? Kht( i.~~ All this 1 promise to do. After this the King, laying his hand vpon the holy gospels, shall say, The things which I have here before promised, 1 will perform and keep : so help rile God ! And then shall kiss the book." The oath was framed and imposed by the tegis- lature of 1689, " to provide sufficiently sigainst papists." This oath has been understood continually by every succeeding legislature as a provision against papists. The terms lit TI hich this oath is couched are a' proof that it is a provision against papists. The tense in which this oath has been taken by every sovereign since the revolution, is an evidence that it is a provision against papists. In what sense did King ' William and Queen Mary take this oath ? As a provision against papists. In what sense did Queen Anne take it? As a provision against papists. In what sense did George I. George II. and George III. take it ? As a provision against papists. " Sooner," — in substance, said George 111.—" Sooner than vio- late my coronation oath, by admitting papists to polititvil power, I will descend from my throne to a cottagc, or lay my head on the block !" I. Tlie King Ti. fs solemnly sworn " to maintain the tan s of God to the UTMOST of his power." The laws of God are repeated ihost elearfy against all idolatry and idolaters. The Kirg, the Lords, and the Com- mons hare all sworn bcfie God, that popery is idolatry, and that papists are idolaters! !* Now, we ask, will the King of England " maintain the laws of God" against idolatry and idolaters," to Ihd UTMOST of his power," if he give flie roVal assent to a Bill which will legalize idolatry in this christian coun- try, and allow idolaters to bceoiuc legislators for a christian people ? II. The King has solemnly sworn " to maintain the true profession," as distinguished from the false pro- fession, " of the gospel, to the UTMOST of his power." The true profession of the gospel is unquestionably that profession which is made hy Protestants. The false ' profession of the gospel is undoubtedly that profession which is made hy fhe Papists. Now, we ask again, will the King of England " maintain to the UTMOST of his power tlie true profession of the gospel","- if he give the royal assent to a hill which will legalize and strengthen the false profession of the gospel ? III. The King has solemnly sworn " to maintain to the UTMOST of his power the protectant reformed religion" of the Church of England, as distinguished from the religion of the Church of Rome. Now, we finally ask, will the King of England " maintain to the UTMOST of his power Ihe protestant reformed religion" of the Established Church, if lie give the royal assent to a hill whieh allows Ihe pupal idolaters of the Church of Rome to legislate for the Protestant worshippers of the Church of England » To these three questions, we believe, only one answer can be returned. If the royal assent be given to a bill which legalizes the worship of idols, sanc- tions the false profession of the gospel, establish " the blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits of the I Church of Rome,"-)- and enables idolaters to become legislators for the tivie worshippers of the Most High, every lau'ter must confess, arid every divine must feel, that " the taws of God, the true profession of the gospel, and the protestant reformed religion, HAVE NOT BEEN MAINTAINED TO THE UTMOST." Nay • every man of common sense must perceive that the royal assent given to such a hill would grievously violate the coronation oath, and fearfully shake the acts of settlement. If such a hill pass into a law, it will be the certain and portentous prelude of the ruin of our country. The guardian oaths for British sub- jects will he altered or removed ;— the coronation oath for British sovereigns will be changed or repeal- ed;— the Protestant, the glorious fabric of the British Constitution, will be dishonoured aud de- stroyed ! • Oith against Popish Idolatry, + Art. ; U . if tin- Church of EiigWnd. Carlrtou (. Karl ( if W il lou- Miy de .. Shannon) tai teret The following is the Address of the Irish Prelates of the Established Church to His Majesty, on the 4th inst. at Windsor. It was read iu a very impressive manner by His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin:— " Sire,— With the most profound attachment to your Majesty's person, and with the firmest reliance upon your Majesty's paternal care, we, the under- signed, Archbishops and Bishops of the Irish branch of the united church of England and Ireland, beg leave to present to your Majesty this our dutiful Address. " Iu a moment like the present, when the dangers which threaten our Protestant institutions have spread H juSt alarm amongst those classes of your Majesty's loyal subjects, who have been accustomed to identify the best interests of the state With the maintenance of true religion, it is impossible that the appointed guardians of the established church in Ireland should remain silent and unmoved. We therefore humbly ( rust that your Majesty will deign graciously to receive this expression of our sentiments. " We desire earnestly, tint respectfully, to repre sfent, that after the most painful arid dispassionate consideration of the subject, we are persuaded that the admission of lloman Catholics to a share in the legislature is a measure c. ilt'illatecf to subvert the established religion in Ireland, which it is your Majesty's pious and unalterable determination to uphold. - " We are confident, however, that your Majesty will not be induced to tltink, thaf we are so little actuated hy the precepts of our holy religion, as out of a narrow and jealous spirit to desire the exclusion of our Roman Catholic brethren from any civil privi- leges, to which they can be admitted consistently with the safety of the established church. But we feel that it, is our sacred duty, as Bishops of that church, which is the firmtat bulwark of Christianity, to endeavour hy every constitutional means to main- tain it in the integrity of its rights and the purity of its doctrines. And we object to the admission of Roman Catholics to the privileges in question, solely beciiuse we cannot perceive how that admission can be made compatible with the church's security. We therefore, with all humility, but at the same time with all earnestness and solicitude, seek your Majesty's protection against an evil so destructive, and look naturally for the preservation of our Protestant church to its legitimate and supreme guardian, under Almighty God.

The following, either in the House of Lords or THE REV. G. S. FABER. fix- tracts from Sir William Bhckstone. THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION. Our religious liberties were fully established at the reformation, but the recovery of our civil and politi- cal liberties was a work of longer time ; they not being thoroughly and completely regained till after the restoration of King Charles, nor fully and ex- plicitly acknowledged and defined till the era of the iiappv revolution. Then the crown was settled on Protestants, arid was soon aflcrwards limited to such heirs only of the House of Hanover as are Protestant Members of the Church of England, and are married to none but Protestants. Of a constitution so wisely contrived, so strongly raised, and so highly finished, it is hard to speak with that praise which is jusllv it.-, due. In theory it is the most beautiful, in practice the most approved, and, I trust, in duration the most permanent. It is the duty of an expounder of oin- laws to lay this constitution before the student in its The Roman Catholic Relief Bill contains an oath to I* taken by Roman Catholics that arc admitted into the Legislature, which is noticed at length in a letter hy the Rev. G. S. Faber, who says — " 1 subjoin, for the general information of niv countrymen, the remarkable anticipatory comment upon the present oath, which was so luminously put forth by Dr. Driungoole in his celebrated speech at ( he Popish Board, delivered Dec. S, 1813. " Speaking of our Protestant Establishment, civil and religious, the learned gentleman expressed him- self in manner following: ' lii vain shall statesmen put their heads together: ' in vain shall parliaments, in mockery of omnipotence, ' declare that it is permanent and inviolate: in vain ' shall the lazy churchman cry from the sanctuary to ' the watchman on the tower, that danger is at hand. ' IT SHALL FALL; for it, is human : and nothing but ' Ihe memory of the mischiefs it has created, shall ' survive! Already Ihe marks of approaching ruin ' arc upon it: it lias had its time upon the earth, a ' date nearly as long as any other novelty. And, ' WHEN THE TIME ARRIVES, shall Catholics be ' culled, by the sacred bond of an oath, to uphold a ' system, which thev believe will one day be rejected ' I y ( he whole earth ? Can they be induced to swear ' thai they would oppose even the present Protestants ' ill England, if, ceasing to be truants, they thought ' fit ( o return to their ancient worship, and TO HAVE ' A CATHOLIC KING & A CATHOLIC PARLIAMENT.' " The animus of this prince of conciliators requires not anv illustration from me. Assuredly, he is no Lycophron, who needs ( he aid of some modern liberal Tzetzes to render him intelligible. He that runneth may read. The Speech was received with rapturous applause by the meek and inoffensive audieuce, to which it was addressed. " I have chiefly cited Dr. Drumgoole in illustration of the proposed oath : hut he is valuable every way. His friends, he assures us, would offer no opposition, if, in the rapid march of intellect, we long- benighted Anglicans should think tit to have a Catholic king and a Catholic Parliament. I quite believe the gentleman : and I cannot but admire the miraculous prophetic inspiration which characterised hishuranjjue. Roman Catholic Claims •— DUKRS. EARLS. BARONS. Clarence.

PROTEST AGAINST THE SECOND READING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. Dissentient, First,- tSecause, should this Bill pass into a law, the constitution of this realm ( as at present established iu church and state) must be materially affected by it, and it seems to me the admission of Roman Catholics to seats in parliament, the Privy Council, and almost all the great offices of the state, is a measure directly adverse to the first principles and true spirit of our constitution, being Protestant, which I apprehend will thereby be progressively, and in the course of events, altogether subverted and overthrown; and to prevent sucb evil and disastrous consequences, no real and adequate securities ( if any can be) are provided and embodied in this Bill, nor is any compensation pro- posed for the concessions to be bestowed. Second,— What relates to the navy and army I look upon to be essentially different, as they ( the navy and army), in fact, exist only, by law, from year to year, the supplies for their support being in due manner granted accordingly. Third,— And because I am of opinion those who arc required to legislate upon this question cannot foresee, nor duly appreciate the result of it to our- selves anil to posterity, w hose welfare we are bound in our proceedings most scrupulously to consider, and whose just rights and interest we ought to maintain lid protect unimpaired equally with our own. ( Signed) WALSINCIIAM, KENYON. In the House of Lords, on Monday night, the Earl of Winchilsea remarked with much severity upon the conduct of those Bishops w ho bail voted for w hat is called the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, and lie intimated, that when that Bill had passed, he would never again enter the House of Parliament. Mr. Quintin Dic » t, Mr. Hugh Dick, and Mr. Bate- man ( High Sheriff" of Staffordshire), following the example of the Earl of Winchilsea, have withdrawn their subscriptions from the King's College, London, in consequence of the course which the Duke of Wellington and other chief promoters of the institution have recently adopted. ANECDOTE.—" Cromwell had many conversations of this sort with the most intelligent of all parties; but we will only relate one more, which is grounded on good authority, having been often related hy Mr. Henry Nevil, a celebrated politician, once a member of the council of state. Cromwell upon this great occasion, sent for some of the chief city divines, as if he made a matter of conscicnee to be determined by their advice. Among these was the leading Mr. Calamy, who very boldly opposed the project of Cromwell's single government, and offered to prove it both unlawful and impracticable. Cromwell answered readily upon the first head of unlawful, and appealed to the safety of the nation being the supreme law. ' But ( says he) pray Mr. Calamy, why imprac- ticable ?' Calamy replied, ' Oh ! ' tis the voice of the nation ; there will be nine in ten against you.' ' Very well,' says Cromwell; ' but what if I should disarm the nine, and put ( he sword in the tenth man's hands, would not that do the business?'"— Biographical Dictionary, 1784, vol. iv. p. 218. At HUNTINGDON Assizes, William Angel, aged 23, was tried for the murderof John Grange, by shoot- ing him with a gun. During the harvest- home, a crowd assembled round the house of the prisoner, and broke bis windows; and in the irritation of the moment he fired among them, and shot the deceased. He was found Guilty of Manslaughter ; and Mr. Baron Vaughan, in passing sentence, said, that the verdict w as a very proper one, but the crime amounted to one of the most aggravated cases of manslaughter he had ever witnessed. The shade between murder and manslaughter was often very nice, and the Jury- had properly returned, in this case, a verdict for the lesser offence. But it was impossible to overlook the fact, that, after firing the shot which had occasioned the death of the unfortunate young man, the prisoner had again prepared to load this deadly instrument for the purpose of again shooting into a mob of persons where it was most probable the shot must be fatal. Under these circumstances, he sentenced the prisoner to be transported for the w hole term of his natural life.— John Bishop was found guilty of stealing twenty sheep, the property of Mr. T. Lindsell, of Hemingford Grey. The Learned Baron passed ( he awful sentence of Death on the unhappy man, hold- ing out to him no hopes of mercy on this side the grave, in consequence of the magnitude of the theft, and the circumstance that the prisoner did not appear to be actuated hy want to the perpetration of the crime. At NORTHAMPTON, W. Butterworth was found guilty of attempting to rob the house of Mr. Percival, hanker, of Northampton, by descending the drawing- room chimney, in which he stuck fast. The learned Judge ordered sentence of Death to be recorded, and said, he wished it to be understood, that if such offences were repeated after this warning, the law Would be allowed to take its course. The robbery of a bank, his Lordship added, was calculated, beyond all others, to produce disastrous consequences, from the number of persons on whom it might entail ruin. At. LINCOLN, an indictment against the Grantham Canal Company, for conspiring to raise the price of coals, was tried before Lord Chief Justice Best, ( hav- ing been attacked by gout in the knee,) in his private room at the Judges' lodgings, his Lordship reclining on a sofa during the trial. It appeared that ( he de- fendants did agree to buy up the coals, and therefore offended against the letter of the act; but their object was stated to be to prevent their attaining a high price, by always keeping the market steadily sup- plied. The Learned Judge, therefore, expressed liis disapprobation of this prosecution; and, upon the Jury returning a verdict of Guilty, only sentenced the defendants to pay a fine of One l'artliing each. At LANCASTER, Thomas Boyle was found Guilty of the murder of John Hughes, at Eccleston, during a fight with the prisoner, who was sentenced to fourteen years' transportation. On Saturday last, between the hours of six and seven o'clock in the afternoon, a most dreadful ( ire commenced in the populous village of Isleham, in this county. It originated in a- baker's office, erected on the premises of the White Horse Jinn, in the centre of the village. The wind blowing S. S. E. the flames instantly communicated to the adjoining premises cf Mr. J. Rumbelow, farmer, whose buildings were chiefly covered with reed, or thatch, which being very dry, his barns, stables, outhouses of every description, stacks of hay, and even his dwelling house, was a complete sheet of fire, and levelled with the earlh in a few minutes. A co. w, from. whom a calf had been drawn a few minutes before, became a prey to the fury of the flames. We are concerned to state, that through the above catastrophe Mr. Runi- befow is not only deprived of a home and food for his cattle, but likewise his farming utensils, household furniture, and even the wearing apparel of himself and inmates, are totally destroyed, and it appears nothing was insured. The next adjoining premises, belonging to Mr. J. Moore, shared a similar fate : his hay- stacks, outbuildings, and a large substantial barn, containing a quantity of wheat, were soon in ruins. The Haines next communicated across the road to a very ancient building, called the Priory, which had been used as a barn from time immemorial; the roof being covered with wood, was soon destroyed, toge- ther with the cart- lodges, carriages, dove- house, stacks of wheat and clover. Happily, Mr. Moore's dwelling house, being brick and tile, was preserved, still he must be a great sufferer. The flames also next communicated to the premises in the occupation of Mr. Martin, blacksmidi, and destroyed his shop, barn, and premises adjoining. A cottage was de- stroyed by tire on the same day at Fordham, the property of Mr. Wm. Cootc.— Suffo'h Herald. ANECDOTE.— It is, perhaps, not generally known, that it was an English surgeon, of the name of Broughton, whose good fortune it was to open tl e commerce of India to his countrymen by the follow- ing accident. Having been sent from Surat to Agra, in the year 1G36, to treat one of the daughters of the Emperor Schaw Schan, he had the good fortune to cure the princess. By way of recompense, the emperor, among other favours, gave him the privilege of a free commerce throughout the whole extent of his dominions. Broughton immediately returned to Bengal, to purchase goods, and transmitted them by sea to Stirat. Scarcely had he returned, when he w as requested to attend the favourite of the Nabob of the province, labouring under a very dangerons dis- ease. Having, fortunately, restored his patient to health, the Nabob settled a pension on him, confirmed the privilege of the emperor, and promised to allow the same, to all the English who should come to Ben- gal. Broughton communicated all this to the English governor at gr. rat, and it was by the advice of the latter, that the company spnt from England, in 1640, two ships to Bengali Such was the origin of a com- merce that has since been carried to so great an extent. WHIST EXTRAORDINARY.— A game at whist was played a few evenings ago at Brampton, the singu- larity of which is worth recording. The winners scored eight by honours in the first and second deals, losing the odd trick each deal; the third deal they gained the odd trick, the honours divided; the fourth, fifth, and sixth deals, they held four by honours each deal ( losing the odd trick, the fourth and fifth, and gaining the sixth deal), making twenty by honours held by one party in one game before they could win it, although good players.— Leaming- ton Courier. The number of petitions which have been pre- sented to Parliament against granting an extension of civil power to the Rotftan Catholics, already exceeds two thousand eight hundred ; and most of tlieni are very numerously signed. Taking the signatures to the petitions at an average of 1000 each, tlie number of persons who have petitioned against Catholic concession would amount to 2,800,000. ANECDOTES OF ELEPHANTS. Prom Shipp'e Memoirs. Having cut a good deal of the most prominent part of the hill away, and lain trees on the ascent j as a footing for elephants, these animals were made to approach it, which the first did with sortie reluct- ance and fear. He looked up, shook his head, and, when forced by his driver, roared piteously. There can be no question, iu my opinion, that thin sagacious animal was competent, instinctively, tci judge of the practicability of the artificial ( light of steps thus constructed ; for the moment some littlq alteration had been made, he seemed willing to approach. He then commenced his examination and scrutiny, by pressing with his trunk the trees that hsd been thi own across ; and after this he put bis fore leg on, with great caution, raising the fore part of his body so as to throw its weight on the tree. This done, he seemed satisfied as to its stability. The next step for him to ascend by was a projecting rock, which we could not remove. Here the same sagacious examination took place, the. elephant keeping his flat side close to the side of, tlie bank, and leaning against if. Thenextstep was against a tree; but thig, upon the first pressure of his trunk, he did not like. Here his driver made use of the most endearing epithets, sucb as, " Won- derful, my life,"—" Well done, my dear," " My dove,"—" My son,"—" My wife:"— but ail these endearing appellations, of yhi|,; h elephants are so fond, would not induco Ulm til try again.. Force was at length resorted to, and the elephant roared terrifically, but would not move. Something waa then removed ; he seemed satisfied, as before; and he, in tiru?, ascended that stupendous ghaut. Oil his reaching the top, his delight was visible in a most eminent degree ; he caressed his keeper, and threw the dirt about in a most playful manner. Another elephant, a much younger animal, was now to follow. He had watched the ascent of the otlicn with the most intense interest, making motions all the while, as though he was assisting him, by shouldering him up the acclivity ; such gestures as I have seen' some men make when spectators of gymnastic exercises. When he saw his comrade UP, he evinced his pleasure^, by giving a salute, something like ihe sound of a trumpet. When called upon to take his turn, however, he seemed much alarmed, and would not act at all without force. When be was tw o steps up, he slipped, but recovered himself, by dige'trig bis toes in the earth. With the exception of this little accident, he as- cended exceedingly well. When this elephant was near to the top, the other, who had already per- formed his task, extended his trunk to the assistance of his brother iu distress, round which the young animal entwined his, and lliOS reached the summit of the ghaut in safety. Having both accom- plished their task, their greeting was as cordial as if they had been long separated from each other, and had just escaped from some perilous achieve- ment. They mutually embraced each other, and stood face to face for a considerable time, as if wliiciioi'itin' / inno'i'ainlof inna TKoJn < 4..!..^... tl NEW WORKS, AND IMPROVED EDITIONS OF SUPERIOR PUBLICATIONS, PRINTED FOR BALDWIN AND CRADOCK, LONDON:— The History of the Church of England, by J.

Their driver then made them salam to the general, wh > ordered them five rupees each for sweetmeats. On this reward of their merit being ordered, they immediately returned lhaiks by another salam. In the year 1804, when we were in pursuit of Hoolkah, there was in our encampment a large el ' pliant, used for the purpose of carrying tents for some of the European corps. It was the season in which they hecotne most unmanageable, and hi » legs were consequently loaded with huge chains, aud he was constantly watched by his keepers. By day he was pretty passive, save when he saw one of his species, when he roared and became violent, and during those moments of ungovernable phrenzy it was dangerous for his keepers to api proach him, or to irritate his feelings by any epithets that might prove repugnant to him.— On the contrary, every endearing expression was used to soothe and appease him, which, with promises of sweelmeats, sometimes succeeded with the most turbulent to gain ( hem to obedience, when coercive measures would have roused them to the most desperate acts of violence. By night, their extreme cunning told them that their keepers were not so watchful or vigilant. The elephant here alluded to one dark night broke from his chains, and ran wild through the encampment, driving men, women, children, camels, horses, cows, and indeed every thing that could move, before him, and roaring aud trumpeting with bis trunk, which is with elephants a sure sign of displeasure, and that their usual ducilily has descried ( hem. Of course no reason- able beings disputed the road he chose to take: those that did soon found themselves floored. To record ( he mischief done by ( his infuriated animal in his nocturnal ramble would fill a much greater space than I can afford for such matter. Suffice it, that in his flight, followed by swordsmen and spearsmen, shouting and screaming, he pulled down tents, upset every thing that impeded his progress, wounded and injured many, and ultimately killed his keeper by a blow from his trunk. He was speared in some twenty places, which only infuri- ated him the more, and he struck with his trunk at every thing before him. His roaring was ter- rific, and he frequently struck the ground in indication of his rage. The instant he had struck bis keeper, and found be did not rise, he suddenly stopped, seemed concerned, looked at him with the eye of pity, aud stood rlvett'cd to the spot. He paused for some seconds, then ran towards the place from w hence he had broken loose, and went quietly to his picquet, iu front of w hich lay an infant about two years old, the daughter of the keeper whom he had killed. The elephant seized the child round the waist, as gently as its mother would, lifted it from the ground, and caressed aud fondled it for some time, every beholder trembling for its safety, and expecting every moment it would share the fate of its unfortunate father; but the sagacious animal having turned the child round three times, quietly laid it down aguin, and drew some clothing1 over it that had fallen off. After this it stood over the chiltl with its eyes fixed on it. He then sub- niiHed to be re- chained hy some other keepers, stood motionless and dejected, and seemed sensible that he had done a wrong he could uot repair. From this moment the animal became passive and quiet, and always seemed most delighted when the little orphan was within its sight. Often have I gone with others of the camp to see him fondling his little adopted ; but there was a visible alteration in his health after his keeper's death, and he fell away and died at Cawnpore six months afterwards : people well acquainted with the history of tho elephant, and w ho know the story, did not scruple to say from fretting for his before favourite keeper. For complaints in the Stomach and Bowels, which so frequently prevail in this variable Climate, as well as for alleviating those distressing maladies the Gravel or Stone, no Medicine has been found more efficacious than Dicey's Genuine Daffy's Elixir, which may he purchased of most respectable Medicine Venders either in Town or Country.— Particular Care should be taken to ask for DICEY'S Daffy's Elixir, and to observe that the Name of DICEY and Co. is engraved in the Stamp. When we have been accustomed to consider any disease as incurable, it is gratifying to find that any plan has been discovered by which human misery may be alleviated ; this particularly applies to th se distressing maladies, Scrofula and Scurvy, which have hitherto baffled nearly all attempts to eradica'e them ; hut the great number of cases in which Mr. Lignum's Antiscorbutic Drops have effected a com- plete cure leads us lo hope, Ihat the day is not far distant when even these complaints will no longer be the opprobrium of the medical art.— See our first page. Extract of a letter, dated Boston ( United States'!, 27tll Feb. 1829:—" 1 wish your newspaper sagts would learn more and write less rehitive to the subjects connected with this country, and not draw odious comparisons without, first ascertaining their propriety. I allude to such as were lately made by the Editor of the Morning Herald, between the National Debt, Civil List, Taxes, & c. of the United States and that of England. He was evidently igno- rant that the President's Speech, on which he com- mented, referred only to the general Government, and that each State has its own separate laics, taxe civil list, public debt, & c. For instance, in Massa- chusetts there is a tax of one per cent, vpon property, which does not produce more than 5 per cent, per annum, so that this tax is tantamount to 20 per cent. upon income. What would John Bull say to this, and to the general poll tax which is here paid ?"
