Dissentient, 1. because the religious establishments in the 8. Because the more power is given to papists, the greater encouragement will they receive to establish themselves within these dominions. Only 50 years ago there were not 70,000 Roman Catholics in Great Britain ; whereas at the present time the number is tinited kii'gdbm are, and have lofig been, Protestant j computed at upwards of 500,000.

Because this net can cure none of the evils under which Ireland labours; neither will it tran- quillize that kingdom. The lower orders, who have been led to expect much benefit, mttst soon find out their error; they must- still suffer many hardships, and find abundant causes for turbulence and discon- tent. j 10.

Roman Catholics the capacity to obtain political power, which may become superior to the political power possessed at the same time by Protestants, and thereby Roman Catholics may he enabled to destroy the Protestant establishments, unless the physical power of the Protestants shall be sufficient to con- troul by force the political power which may he so acquired by Roman Catholics S. Because, although the physical power of the Protestant population of Great Britain and Ireland, before and at the time of the revolution, 1688, greatly exceeded the physical power of the Roman Catholics, yet the Roman Catholics having obtained consider- able political power, contrary to the established laws, the Protestant establishments were brought into imminent danger; from which danger they were rescued by the superior physical power which accom- plished that revolution ; and they have since been preserved by further laws, then provided for the same purpose. 4. Because this bill, if it should pass into a law, will repeal or lessen the force and effect of those laws; and the security of the Protestant establishments must thenceforth principally depend on the superior physical power of Protestants, arising from their superior numbers; and on the probability that their superior numbers may afford them the means also of obtaining superior political power. 5. Because the effect of the bill, if passed into a law, must therefore be to produce continual struggles for political power between Protestants and Roman Catholics throughout the united kingdom ; and as the Roman Catholic population in Ireland greatly cxcieds in number the Protestant population in that island, the Roman Catholics will have iu Ireland s. perior physical power, and may probably thereby obtain superior political power also, iu aid of their superior physical power; and may, by the union of physical and political power, expel or subjugate the P.' otestant population of that country, and separate Ireland from Great Britain. 6. Because, if this bill should pass into a law, the maintenance of the Protestant establishments in Great Britain and Ireland, and the union of Ireland with Great Britain, must depend not oh the laws which have, since the revolution of 1688, produced the security of those establishments, or on the contract which created the union of the two islands, but on the superior physical force of the Protestants cf the united kingdonij acting as one body, to counteract the superiority of the physical force of the Roman Catholics of Ireland over the physical force of the Protestants of that country ; and therefore Ihe mea- sure, instead of tending to produce peace in Ireland, may probably lead to a disastrous civil war, produced by contention for political power, and attempts to render the Roman Catholic religion tlie established religion ill Ireland ( Signed) RFDESDALE.

Because, though a full and complete religious toleration be the inalienable right of every individual in the state, yet still political power cannot justly he demanded hv any dissenting sect, whenever the con- cession of the power appears to he inconsistent with the security and welfare of Ihe community at large. 2.- Because, since the period of the reformation, the Roman Catholic Church ever has been, and is, de terminately hostile to the cause of Protestantism, aud to the principles of liberty, civil and religious: the members, therefore, of that church, are inadmissible to be the legislators of a Protestant country. 3. Because many of the tenets of the Roman Ca- tholic church are directly opposed to the doctrines of Christianity, as promulgated in the revealed word of Almighty God. 4.

The Paris Papers, like our own, complain of great depression and distress in different branches of French trade and manufacture. That of wine- growers appears to be under greater stagnation than any other ; but woollen cloth, cambric, aud silk manufacturers likew ise complain of the badness of times. Private advices front Berlin this morning", if true, put an end to all doubt as to the views of the French government wiih respect to the war be- tween Russia and Turkey. U is stated, that not satisfied with the assurances previously given by the Prussian Cabinet, the French Ambassador at Berlin had been desired to require a distinct dis- avowal of the rumoured intention of Prussia to enter into a treaty with Russia for an active co- operation against the Turks — the Ambassador observing that England and Austria would regard such a treaty as an act of hostility against those Countries. The required disavowal is said to have been made iu unqualified terms, and to have given perfect satisfaction to the French Ambassador. It is inferred from the list of notices of motions and orders of the day, in the House of Commons' book, that there is nothing to prevent Parliament from being prorogued by the » . id cf May or first week iu June. The Militia Estimates, the Life Annuities bill, and the Budget, are the only important Ministerial business remaining. A catastrophe which may, perhaps, lead to the resumption of war on the part of Russia aga'nst Persia, has recently occurred at Teheran, the capital of the latter country. The Russian Ambassador and the whole of his suite, with the exception of four persons, were massacred in the House of Legation, on the 12th of February. The circumstance originated in a quarrel between a part of the Ambassador's suite and the populace, some of the latter having been previously slain in the dispute. The Shah of Persia, fearful of the consequences of this event, had dis- patched his son with other Officers to explain the whole transaction to the satisfaction of the Russian Court. M « » N.

LORD MOUNTCASHEL'S PROTEST AGAINST THE TILL It D READING OF THE CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. Dissentient, 1. Because the present measure is one which will endanger the constitution of these realms in church and state, and may eventually lead to the subversion of civil aud religious liberty. 2. Because Roman Catholics cannot, according to the doctrines of the * nman church, he bound hy any oaths, which either directly or indirectly interfere with the allegiance they owe to the Pope and his councils. The Roman Catholic doctors and divines assert it to be their opinion that oaths may be broken; popes in former times have granted absolution for this purpose, and, therefore, may do so again. 3. Because history proves that the professors of the Romish faith have always employed temporal power t > establish the spiritual supremacy of their church. When Roman Catholics obtain influential situations, whether at home or in our distant colonies, they may, undCv the direction of their priests and con- fessors, exert their authority to injure the Protestant religion; they will oppose the circulation of the Holy Bible, the establishment of the Protestaut institutions, and the exertions of Protestant ministers. 4. Because it is impossible to expect that Roman Catholics, if conscientiously attached to the religion they profess, ran give that support to Protestaut prin- ciples and doctrine which it behoves Great Britain to uphold, and his Majesty, as " Protector of the Faith," t- i require. If a member of the church of Rome should refrain from openly attacking those things which are essentially Protestant, he may still feel inclined fo wink at ( he attempts of others, placed in subordinate oiiiccs. 5. Because the pure doctrine of the Protestant church, being that taught by the Holy Apostles, and believed by the first christians, ought to be upheld ; whilst that professed by Roman Catholics, being corrupted by false traditions, supported by ignorance, and only congenial to the evil inclinations of man, ought 1 ( he decidedly discouraged. It is notorious tliaf all the principal false doctrines of popery were unknown as articles of faith, even iu the church of Home, before the seventh century ; and in the nineteenth, in this enlightened land, it must prove offensive to the Almighty thus to encourage the spread of religious error. If we forsake God, he will forsake us. 0. Because the national church must necessarily be endangered by the granting of power to those w ho are bound t, » believe it to be either heretical or schismatic - who question the validity of its holy ordinances— and who consider its temporalities to be usurpations.— Not only will the power conceded by this act be employed to undermine the church of England in spiritual matters, but also in wresting from it tl ie tithes ami other church property. 7. Because civil liberty has never long flourished under a popish government. In proportion as papacy acquires power, the rights of the people will be invaded. It will seek to control the liberty of thought, word, and action; and, when popish influ- ence becomes sufficiently powerful in parliament, the liberty of the press will be one of the first rights attacked.

Whilst the sieges of Silistria and Giurgevo were pressed, the main body would, it was supposed, pursue Ihe same route it took last year to Chouuila and the Balkan. They are not likely to meet any serious opposition till they reach that point. It has been supposed that they have some intentions of making a landing on the coast of Romclia. But we have no idea of their at- tempting such an operation in any large force — though they may make partial debarkations to keep the coast iu alarm. We had hoped that a mutual desire for peace would have induced the belligerents to avail themselves of the winter months for uegociatiun. Unfortunately that hope has been disappointed. Whether Russia has de- manded too much — or whfcth er the Porte has evinced a determination not to listen to any over- tures, we are unable to state. But when we cast our eyes over the vast territories which are the scene of warlike operations— when we take into our consideration the serious injury which the shutting up of the Black Sea and the Dardanelles does to onr intercourse with Turkey and Russia, and what detriment also is done to the Mediterra- nean trade— we think that England, France, Aus tria, aud the Netherlands, cannot long refrain from making the strongest remonstrances to both the belligereuts against Ihe continuance of the war. Such remonstrances, which are strictly justifiable by the law of nations, could not, we should sup- pose, fail to be effectual.— Courier. Shrnph're Eye anil Ear Dispensary. ADDITIONAL SCBSCKIBE. R.

SIR, Having inspected the plan of the new Church intended to be erected in the populous suburb of CASTLE FOREGATE, 1 am much gratified to perceive that, there will be at least fovr hundred and fifty free sittings'ior the accommodation of the humbler class's. That there is a real want of an additional Church in this part of St. Mary's parish is generally acknow- ledged, and whilst 1 feel regret that the funds neces- sary to complete the undertaking are at present scanty, I am induced to hope that as SALOPIANS recollect the ties that bind them to their native soil, and the good that has been effected by the public ministrations of the Word, their liberality will be j stimulated to erect a structure, beneath whose lial- j lowed fane many we trust will be brought to that j " repentance which needeth not to be repented of," ! and enabled to look by the eye of Faith to that : HOPE which lies beyond the grave. | Aud since the exertions of SALOPIANS are deserving I to 1M* emulated in sending the glad tidings of salvation ( to foreign lands, i am persuaded a similar endeavour I will be manifest in contributing to the Reformation ! and spiritual instruction of their poorer neighbours. ! Our national Church demands this from trs, and as | wc profess to be PROTESTANT, we should be zealous [ also in promoting that pure and apostolic form of religion for which our forefathers bled and died, and enforce the recollcction of the important maxim to consider nothing as done while aught remains to be done. 1 am, Sir, Your's, & c.

WALES, On Monday night last, some villains broke open the Maelor Hundred Savings Bank Office, at Overton. — It appears that they had attempted to get in at the door, as there are many marks of an iron crow upon ti; but not succeeding there, they made a breach in the brick wall sufficiently large to admit a man. After gaining admittance, they picked three locks, and overhauled the papers, as appears by some drops of wax from the candles they had used; but they were disappointed of a booty, as nothing was left for them from the receipts of Monday, excepting a few pence of copper money. There can be no doubt of their being regular hands, as some of their matches, & c. were left behind.

SIR, Your correspondent, Salopiensis, has taken some pains to deny the possibility of an averment that I have made being correct: as, however, I am prepared to prove its truth, I shall leave the possibility tb be discussed by such ingenious casuists as h&^ e a* t& te for theoretical disquisitions. * lioit'& hoor.--. Satopiensis has thought fit to allege that I < mter- tain ruinous and unconstitutional principles. On this, too, I am prepared to meet him. He admits that an elector has a right to require the sentiments of a candidate on any given subject: and 1 think the Roman Catholic Question was a subject which in 1806 stood upon the same footing that it did ijjt 1826>, and which in the latter year stood upon the same footing that it did two months ago. It was, in fact, a question that would not, even allowing the general correctness of Mr. Burke's opinion, come under the scope of that orator's argument. It was a question on which the elector and the candidate were as capable of making up their minds in 1826 as in 1829; and as to which, it is admitted on all sides* no new evidence Was elicited in the late discussions ; por was any plea, but the cowardly one of expedience, set up. The result we know : that result, and the means by which it was attained, are alike degrading to the country nnd disgraceful to the legislature. But, Sir, is not your correspondent awar£> tliat no right, correctly speaking, can exist that is not founded in reason? And what reason can be assigned for an act that is utterly useless ? For where would be the utility of an elector demanding the sentiments of a candidate as to a particular question, if u%<] uestion could possibly be mooted whose bearing's would not he of a transitory nature? Yet, to render Mr. Burke's opinion of universal application, this latter proposition must be admitted. Whether, indeed, such be the fact, I leave the common sense of your readers and my countrymen to decide. Again, if Mr. Burke's opinion is to be quoted, in order to prove my principles ruinous and unconstitu- tional, I shall require that it be applied impartially : if, like Mr. Burke, Salopiensis thought fit to be so courtly as to apply it to the humble elector, without levelling it at the noble peer, 1 shall not be so abste- mious. If, in this case, the charge of the determina- tion preceding the discussion is to apply to the burgess or the freeholder as ruinous and; unconsti- tutional, let the pocketted Proxy of the Peer be included in the same censure : for, perhaps, some of the lenders of Proxies were liberalising tfreir ideas and studying the march of intellect at Rome, while their names were handed in for the degradation of Protestantism. Edmund Burke wrote and spoke himself into a pension, and he cautiously abstained from strictures that would personally affect those who had to give what he gratefully accepted! Previous to 1826, Mr Corbett had voted against Catholic Emancipation ( as it was termed) m* had dcclinfij voting in any way upon it—- and ^ et bad voted to pay the Roman Catholic Priesth6wl about £ 250,000 a year. In all this, Salopiensis saw gtound of confidence! Since 1826, Mr. Corbctt'lias v<} ted against and for Catholic Emancipation : in this, too, Salcp ' ensis can see nothing but the deliberation and conscientiousness of that gentleman! Now what, docs Mr. Fox say of such conduct: and he is as good an authority in these matters as Mr. Burke. Mr. Fox says—" When I witness men affecting at " one time the very principles which they oppose at " another, it fills me with horror, and my inmost " thoughts revolt at such scandalous versatility of " sentiment.' 1 I am, & c. AN INDEPENDENT BURGESS. Apiil 18, 1S29. The Report, of the Commissioned appointed to enquire into the Practice and Proceedings of the Superior Courts of Common Law has been printed by order of the House of Commons, and the Commis- sioners have given it as their most unanimous opinion that the Welsh Judicature should be abolished. The following is an extract from the Report:— " We therefore humbly recommend that the Juris- diction of tho several Courts of Great Sessions in the County Palatine of Chester and Principality of Wales should be discontinued, and those parts of the king,, dom brought under the Juristictidfi of your Majesty's Common Law Courts at Westminster, as exercised generally in England. It is necessary, however, to observe, that the abolition of the Courts of Grerft Sessions in Wales will involve the Local Jurisdiction iu Equity possessed by those Courts. Whether that Jurisdiction be of any real value, may possibly admit of a doubt, but that it is not alone of sufficient value to compensate for the continuance of the present eStab- tishment, can admit of none.'* The Commissioners have suggested that certain portions of the Principality contiguous to the counties of Chester, Salop, Hereford, and Monmouth, be Irecommended to be placed within the Jurisdiction of the Judges appointed to hold Assizes at the shire towns of those Counties respectively. The rest, of Wales to form four districts— the Northern, Midland, South West, and South East, of which the assize towns for North Wales to be Bangor and Dolgellau j and for South Wales Carmarthen and Neath. It is proposed that Stafford and Salop should be withdrawn from the Oxford Circuit, and that the South- west and South- eastern districts of Wales be added thereto. With respect to South Wales, their plan is to unite Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire ( except the two northern hundreds of the latter) with the Carmarthen Circuit, and to join Radnorshire and the two Brecon- shire hundreds of Builth and Talgarth to Hereford. The Hundred of Crickhowell is proposed to be sent to Monmouth, and the remainder of Breconshire to Neath. The Oxford Circuit will then be arranged as follows:— Reading, Oxford, Worcester, Hereford, Carmarthen, Neath, Monmouth, and Gloucester, The two northern Hundreds of Cardiganshire, Geneu'r Glyn and liar L^ cha, will be sent to Dolgellau.— In answer to cfueries which were sent to several of the principal landowners and residents in the different counties, the Commissioners have received and pub- lished the opinions of thirty Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Principality, and of these twenty- four are strongly in favour of abolition, four in favour of remodelling or amending the present system, and two only are against any change j they are as follow : — FOR AN ENTIRE ABOLITION. Marquis of Bute, Lord Lieutenant of Glamorganshire Earl Grosrenor, Lord Lieutenant of Flintshire Sir C. Cole, M. P. for Glamorganshire Sir T. Mostyn, Bart. M.

The Report alto- gether comprises 777 pages. [ It is proposed that the additional circuit to be established should comprehend the two places with- drawn from the Oxford circuit, ( viz. the counties of Stafford and Salop,) the two North- Welsh districts, the district of Chester, including Flintshire and the eastern part of Denbighshire, and also the town of Manchester, with the rest of the hundred of Salford, in the county of Lancaster.] JUST ARRIVED, A CARGO OF J GUINNESS & CO.'

THOM AS ALCOCK, Moreton Corbet, Salop, Treasurer JOHN WOOD, Grinsliill, Salop, Solicitor Members of the United Socicty. We have now a me I a] lie standard it is true ; but it is only supported by a system of constant * tampering with the currency f and experience has sufficiently shown us, that the very moment we cease front c tampering? the pressure of our standard becomes literally and absolutely insupportable. In the course of twelve years we have three times over been brought to the verge of ruin, and three times over we have been compelled to retrace our steps, by the frightful spectacles . around us. In 1816, in 1822, and in 1825, at these three periods the pressure of the metallic standard upon the general prices, rents, debts, taxes, and obligations of the country became so enormous, that Government was in each instance compelled to interfere to stop the career of ruin, and to restore the action of industry by renewing the issues of bank notes; in fact, by giving back to the country a cir- culating medium suitable to the existing relations of society| and capable of preserving and conducting tlie machinery through which society is supported and held together. It is useless to recapitulate the particular measures by which Government thus in- terfered. They are known to every one who has at- tended to the subject ; and the records of Parliament, and of the Bank of England, sufficiently attest them. Upon the last occasion, viz. in December, 1825, the circulation of Bank of England notes wj\ s forcibly in- creased in fourteen days, from eighteen millions to twenty- six millions sterling. Had it not been for this e lormous increase of bank- notes, effected ai the in- stance of the. Government, by purchases of Exche- quer bills, by discounts, and other accommodations, there can be no doubt that a general explosion must have taken place in our whole monetary system, aud in the whole structure of our social relations. Mr. Buskis< on himself confessed in Parliament, that before Government interfered, we were brought i within forty- eight hours of a state of barter, 1 and Lord Liverpool expressed himself to a similar effect. Here, then, we have the Ministers of State con- fessing, that the standard which they have given us is so unsuitable to our existing relations, that it required fhe interference of Government to prevent its pro- ducing 1 a state of barter /' or, in other words, to prevent a state of things, in which every man that I ved at all must of necessity live by blood and plunder! It was only by * tampering with, fhe cur- rency'' in December, 1825, that this dreadful state of things was prevented ; and it is only by a similar 1 ' tampering' that we are at this very moment enabled to prevent it from day to d. iy I Instead of fitting the standard to society we have proceeded madly to force society into conformity w: th the standard. By means of this kind we re- lieved the universal distress of 1816, and brought on the prosperity of 1818. By similar means we relieved the distress of 1822, and brought on the prosperity of 1824. By similar means we again relieved the panic of December 1825; and it has since been the study of bur political economists, as Mr. Huskissbn well knows, so to moderate the extent of our relief, so to economize our * tamperings, that whilst we s cure fhe country from the danger of panic on the one hand, we may, if possible, on the other, avoid the almost equally dreadful alternative of driving the gold abroad. How long this state of things can continue without producing another panic, such as that of December, 1825, or without producing another state of distress ( 1 political excitement like that of 1816, of 1819, or of 1822, it is not possible at present to ascertain. It is sufficiently clear that we are wrong, and that our rtuation is getting more dangerous and more com- plicated from day to day. Whilst the Government is steering this narrow and dangerous course in the management of the currency, whilst panic threatens us on one side if we contract the paper, and threatens us equally on the other side if we do r. ot contract the paper, in this state of things the very most that we can hope is to be able to let the country go down gradually into the state of 1816 and of 1822, instead of meeting the sudden and swift destruction of 1825. We may perhaps shore off' panic, but we can only do so by gradually and slowly Contracting the currency, Until we bring-' back the calamitous scenes of 1816, of 1819, and 1822. The scenes are, indeed, already approaching. Already agricultural distress1 begins to rear its frightful head ; and in a few months more we shall again hear, from every part of England, < that one loud general dreadful groan,' which in 1822 appalled the heart ot Castlereagh. The prices of agricultural produce will not even now repay th « expenses of production. How then can rents be paid; and how can tho landowners discharge their debts, mortgages, and family settle- ments, and incumbrances of many kinds ? How can the labourers be supported ; and how can the cultiva- tion of the earth be kept up in a state equal to the maintenance of fhe population? If any material in- jury of this kind should arise ( than which nothing is more probable), all the i foreign importations' in the world could not supply us with & twentieth pari of our wants. Every thing is, therefore, wrong in agri- culture. This great and vital root of the national wealth is rotte i at the very core. The state of manufactures and commerce is not much better. In every trade the depression of prices is such, that the labourers are kept on without profit to their employers, and frequently to a positive loss. British manufactures are almost thrown away in every market of the world; and foreign produce is almost thrown away in England. The money which exists in this country, instead of being scattered and dirt used generally throughout the general uses of industry, is disproportionately drawn up from those uses into the money markets of London ; and there it lies, inactive, in the hands of bankers and brokers, and retired capitalists; or it is employed in jobbing and dealing in the public funds, or in lending upon short and un- doubted securities, where few are willing to borrow, and still fewer are willing or able to employ. The supply of food! We have embarrassed commerce and manufactures. We have a- bankrupt tenantry, an impoverished yeomanry, and a falling aristocracy; We have a suffering, discontented, and half- employed population. We have a decreasing revenue and an increasing expenditure. We are overloaded with deb£^ V" contracts,'- and obligations among individuals, ancr we have a national debt and a taxation which grow hourly in weight and magnitude asthe prices ^ Pfi'tyWyJ' labour fall, and the burthen of which" must l> e absolutely and literally insupportable when the- metallic, standard shall have completed its operation, u - - • .

He has now a scene before him which will try his head and his nerve more than any which he has hitherto witnessed. A SCOTCH BANKER. M 1SCF. LLA NEGUS 1N T E LL1G E NCE. Upwards of 300,000 ounces of gold bullion have been entered at the Custom House for exportation within the'last four days, the principal portion for Rotterdam; STATE OF TRADE.— We are sorry to say that in most of the manufacturing districts trade is in a very u ^ satisfactory; state?— especially ia the West Riding of Yorkshire. 4 the wages of those workmen who are employed are so low, that it is scarcely possible for families to obtain a subsistence, by labouring almost beyond human endurance.— At Manchester t? ne trade for home consumption is a little better ; but the turn- out of tlie spinners has thrown 900 > or 10,000 hands out of employ. ' The Stockport turn- out also con- tinues.— At Glasgow ami Paisley, the cotton trade is almost- Pt , a stand.— Accounts from foreign markets represent them as glutted with the manufactured goods of thfs country ; and thus we perceive proofs either of over- speculation, or of the excessive use of machinery, keeping the supply so highly dispro- portionate to the demand. THE GOLDEN AGE.— The country bankers have, to a great extent, withdrawn their small note circula- tion, and will? it the accommodation by which, for the last quarter of a century, labour has been paid for, and improvement, both in agriculture and ' manufactures, stimulated ; and enterprise and in- dustry have been paralysed by the revulsion. Where is now the gold which was so confidently promised in place of the vituperated u rag." Does the country banker issue it? Does the capitalist employ it? Docs the poor man touch it? Eighteen m nubs agb we were assured that it had been coined and taken up by the bank of England— where is it now— is it in fhe Bank of England still, or i s the hands of the Hebrews, or in the packets of the foreigner ? Probably it is distributed amongst them ; and instead of serving the legitimate purpose of exchange, " is reserved for speculations in Bartholo- mew- lane^ or Ibam to needy and unprincipled states. Be it where it may, it is not to be seen or touched here.; - l^ reuaittanees into the country have hitherto born « > few andvfar between," and the philosophers have stu^ edgd to their hearts' content. They have stripp^ d; 4fs— they have divested us of the " rags," and Iv- ftfaiothiog in return to hi;! e the nakedness of the land. Many of our iron works pay in wages from £ 3,000 to £ 6,000 per month in the notes we have mentioned", with a very slight mixture of silver— not more, we have been assured, than fifty- pounds worth — an I for want of the notes the works are stopped and the labourers starving. It is all very well to siy, " Oh! why don't they procure sovereigns!" The reason is that they cannot. The banker will not discount the master's bills with gold, and the j master cannot pay his labourers with bills,— Farmer^ s Jcurral. IRON TRADE.— At no period within the last ten or twelve years has the Iron Trade of Shropshire and Staffordshire been in a more depressed state than at the present moment. Notwithstanding the masters have not for a long time past, been able to continue their furnaces with a price to meet the expense of working, they have been compelled to submit to a fall of 5s. per ton on pig, and 10s. per ton on bar iron. The loss to the Staffordshire masters. at the late prices was ruinous in the extreme ; therefore, all w ho wish to wrest what is left from the wreck of crtpibii, intend ht^ wing- out the majority of the furnaces. This may probably effect a rise. The Wore ier Herald says—" It is with infinite sorrow we state the fallen and depressed situation of the Glove trade of this city— of that trade which formerly maintained in the highest credit and comfort, a large proportion of our most respectable fellow- citizens, and found in constant and well- requited employ full two- thirds of our operative population— whereas, now, the master, unable to find a market for his goods, upon, even the most ruinous terms, is himself" placed in a situation of serious embarrass- ment and difficulty ; to continue making would of course only" still further add to these evils; he is compelled, therefore, to discharge his workmen, and they, for the means of subsistence, are obliged to have recourse to their parishes. To add to this dishearten- ing state of things, it will be seen from the fate of the motion on the Silk trade question, relative to the measures-( the Free Trade system), which it is alleged, but which Ministers strenuously deny, have alike contribufedrto overwhelm that branch. of our national industry as well- as that under consideration, that those mgas^ res are to be persisted in, with the alteratiovj. only,- as respects gloves, of the adoption of some otb- er, regulations which may better check that illicit importation of the foreign articles, which is now so exten^ ifeeVy carried on."

A kind of apoplexy U thus pro- moted in the circulating system ; the head is deluged, whilst the great limbs and interests of the country are starving. The money market is glutted iu the way of temporary and secure loans, whilst the markets of property and labour are everywhere deficient in that supply of money which is necessary to give ' remuner- ating prices,'' to enable property and labour to inter- change with each other, and to discharge the debts, taxes, and obligations imposed upon them. THIS IS NOW THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The great question is at this moment at issue, whether the rested interests shall be broken down; whether the productive classes shall be crushed under their enormous pressure; or whether the interests and Ihe rights of both shall be conciliated aud pre- served by an adequate increase anil a renew ed de- preciation of the currency ? The Government have been hitherto shrinking from either of these great alternatives. They have been wilfully closing their eyes and their ears, and laying ' the flattering unction to their souls,' that it is possible for them to steer a middle coarse. A crisis is now approaching, which will compel them to make their choice. The time for warering and temporizirg is rapidly passing away. In such a state of things as this, it is not to be wondered at that the reienue falls off. The con- traction and stagnation of money, the diminution of prices, the deficiency of employment for lab > ur, and the decrease of rents and profits— all contribute to a reduction in Ihe produce of the existing taxation. The revenue is, however, for a time, supported out of the capital of the farmers and productive classes; when this capital is exhausted, the deficiency is cer- tain to become very great. In the meanwhile wc have a debt of eigli hundred and thirty millions sterling, all payable by law in heavy gold; lhat is to say, convertible hy law into eight thousand tons of standard gold! Unless we reduce this debt publicly and openly, it is vain to think of bringing the national expenditure within the revenue. And yet the very moment we touch this debt, with the view of reduction, the price of Consols will fall, perhaps, to 60 or 40, and an instantaneous panic will ensue. Sec then our situation. VVe have an unsettled currency, which we cannot possibly substantiate; which is only supported by continual ' tamperings,-' and which threatens us with ' panic' on every side in almost every hour. We have ' agricultural distress.' We have an increasing population, and a decreasing was thrust down the throats of enlightened senators. The importations of silk, in our apprehension, have nothing to do with the question. For on the same grounds miglitlhe President of the Board of Trade adduce, in proof of the prosperity and the high wages of the motion- weavers, the large and increased importations of cotton wool. The question at issue is, not whether more or less raw silk has been im- ported, but whether the manufacturer is pursuing a profitable business, and the weaver earning adequate wages It is true we may be weaving more yards of broad silks anil calicoes; but if we be giving ten pieces of silks, and fifty pieces of calico, for one barrel of tallow, instead of the five pieces, and tweniy- tive picc. es,- which we were wont to give, does not this show that our labour is of less value than it was before, and that, under the new system, we are following a ruinous trade? If we now give fifteen hours1 labour for that foreign commodity which we were wont to - purchase with ten hours* labour, does not this show that our condition is worse, and the condition of the foreigner better ? What does it signify how- much silk or wool we import if the persons employed in the manufacturing of this silk and wool be starving ? It is not a question of quantity— not a question of yards— not a question to be settled by the ell- ineasure ; but a question w hether the weaver be adequately remunerated, and the capital of the manufacturer profitably employed. Now, we say that under the present system both of these parties. are reduced to a state of unexampled distress. The employer is nearly ruined, the work- man is reduced to pauperism. This is the only fact worthy our consideration. The Minister of the Crown, if he be an honest Minister, must endeavour first to relieve these persons before he can with any decency boast of our increased imports. We require exports, Bot'imports. We require a high value for these exports, not. an increased quantity of exports. We desirte high wages and high profits, as well at home as abroad.— not cheap goods, not rotten muslins, not goj)$ s burnt with acids, that, like the Jew's razors, are made to sell, not to use. We care nothing for " large quantities"— we want, adequate wages, and a fair remuneration. But this our present Govern- ment have entirely lost sight of. They measure our internal prosperity by the yard. Their notions of manufacturing prosperity are regulated by the Munstcr- man's notions of prosperity.

OCK AT NOTTINGHAM -— To sti- angers unacquainted with Nottingham^ it will be necessary to premise that most part of it is built upon rock, which forms different rising hillocks, and some parts on perpendicular cliffs, having streets running below, so that one house seems actually built upon the roof of another. Considerable apprehensions have for several years been entertained, tliat a portion of the rock above Narrow Marsh, was separating from the main body ; but it was n it till within these few days, that the fissure opened to any extent that could be conside. ed alaniii. ig About half- past seven on Monday evening, a tremendous fall of rock "( some hundred tons), took place nearly at the back of the Loggerheads public- house, in which it appears the landlord Mr. Godkin, then was. In about three minutes the whole extent of cliff, gave way, and five houses were crushed into one general wreck. Near Hie spot where the first portion which broke away fell, the flaps of a coat were visible, and in a few seconds a young man . was dug out in a slate of in- sensibility, but shortly afterwards recovered, having only received a few bruises. Reports were circulated that others were under the ruins; but up to tha latest hour no more bodies bad been found. REDUCTION IN THE ARMY.— Theft is a report in the military circles, that the following reductions will tike place in the course of the year:— The three Regiments of Horse Guards, the 1st Dragoon Guards, and the four Regiments of Light Cavalry iu India, to be reduced to six troops each of sixty men. The whole of the Infantry and Cavalry to retain but one Lieutenant- Colonel and one Major. Each Regiment of Infantry to be reduced to eight companies of eighty men, of which two companies forming the depot will remain at home under the senior Captain. The seven Regiments of Dragoon Guards will be formed into four Regiments of Cuirassiers, and a portion of tlie remainder alloweil up to form ( he vacant Regiment, the 5th Dragoons. It is expected that the 31 1 attalion of Grenadier Guards, and the 2d Battalion of the 1st Foot, will be reduced. Re- cruiting will be stopped for the whole Army, and that of the East India Company, and the vacancies filled lip by such as chuse to enter from the disbanded Regiments. The whole will form a reduction of thirty- three troops of Cavalry and two hundred and twenty- two companies of Infantry— in amount, 2000 Cavalry and 8000 Infantry. EXCELLENCE OF RELIGION.— I envy, says Sir H. Davy, no quality of the mind or intellect in others; not genius, power, wit or fancy: but if I uld choose what would be most delightful and I believe most useful to me, I should prefer a firm religious belief to every other blessing ; for it makes life a discipline of goodness— creates new hopes, when all earthly hopes vanish ; and throws over the' decay, the destruction of existence, the most gorge- ous of all lights ; awakens life even in death, and from corruption and decay calls up beauty and divinity: makes an instrument of torture and of shame the ladder of ascent to Paradise ; and far above all combinations of earthly hopes calls up the most delightful visions of palms and amaranths, the aniens of the blest, the security of everlasting joys, where the sensualist and sceptic view only gloom, decay, annihilation, and despair! THE REVOLUTION OF 1688.— When Mr Sergeant Maynard first appeared before King William after the abdication of James II. being then at a very advanced age, the King observed to him, that he supposed he had survived most of Ihe great lawyers of his time. u Yes, Sire," answered the Sergeant, u and if your Majesty had not seasonably come over, I should have survived the law itself." [ Query, Are we not at present in danger of being in a similar pre- dicament ?] IMPORTANT DECISION— A cause of considerable importance, both to travellers and coach proprietors, was decided at York Assizes. It was that of M ies r. Cattle and others; and it appeared that the plaintiff, whilst travelling by the defendants* coach from Stockton to York, lost his carpet bag, containing money and other property; but. witnesses having been called to prove that the plaintiff had not looked after his luggage on the coach Slopping, Mr. Justice Bayley said he was clearly of opinion that the action could not be sustained. He held that every coach passenger ought to look carefully after his own luggage on the arrival of the coach at its place of destination ; and, if he was proceeding further, he ought to draw the attention of the persons in the coach- office to his luggage, and put it under their care ; if therefore, any loss was sustained by a passenger, by the neglect of such precautions, he could not maintain an action against the coach- proprietors. WARWICK ASSIZES.— The trial of Thos. Carr, Thomas Murray, and Handy Dillon, charged with the wilful murder of John Dvvyer, at Bir- mingham, in November last, came on on the Saturday, the last day. The principal evidence for the prosecution was that of a. woman named Bridget Donnelly, who lived with the deceased, and who witnessed the fray. She distinctly swore to the persons of the prisoners, and her testimony was confirmed by other witnesses. The men were all Irish labourers, and the outrage appeared, from the evidence of witnesses called for the prisoners, to have originated in a quarrel between the de- ceased and Carr, in which the latter was beaten by the former, and his cause afterwards taken up by his companions. A verdict of " guilty of man- slaughter," was returned by the jury, and tlie prisoners were sentenced to seven years' trans- portation. Joseph Warren and ten others were indicted for having shot at Robert Hood, gamekeeper, and three other men, his assistants, with intent to murder, in the preserves of D. S. Dugdale, Esq. M. P. at Merevale, on the night of the 201 Ii of December last. The keepers were, unarmed, and on meeting a party so numerous retreated: they werf, however, pursued by the prisoners, and several shots were fired at them. The testimony of Yardley, one of the assistants, was confirmed by a man named Cross, an accomplice. After the retreat of the keepers the prisoners killed a num- ber of pheasants. They were all found " guilty," and judgment of death was recorded against them. The learned Judge told them they had been clearly convicted of a capital offence ; he should, however, recommend their case to a merciful consideration, and they would be punished according to their offences. In addition to the above gam* of eleven poach- ers, seventeen others also had judgment of death recorded against them, for shooting at the game- ke< p r of the Earl of Denbigh, at Coonibe Fields.

[ SEE 1ST PAGE.] A corrected report of bis Royal Highness tlie Duke oft ' uitiberla'iid's speech appeared in a uiunber of the Standard last week, m which are to be found the following remarkable » vo_ rds:—•" Circumstances, mv lords, have occurred in the progress of this measure, which determine me to wilhi! raw ALL political con- fidence from the noble duke." What are these circumstances ? is a question prettv generally asked, but which few can answer. The Age shall explain.. Lord Farnham — and he is entitled to the praise of a singular sagacit y, in having, more than seven months ago, seen through the designs of the apostate minis- try — Lord Faraham,. about the middle of December, wrote to tbe Duke of Cumberland apprising him of the threatened invasion of the constitution. His Royal Highness, scarcely crediting the alarming intelligence, wrote to some of his private friends to obtain further information. These inquiries reached the ear of the Duke of Wellington, w ho instantly addressed himself to deceive the Duke of Cumberland, and we are in- form - d wrote to liitn in the beginning of January, vindicating himself in the very strongest terms from fhe suspicion of having changed his Protestant prin- ciples. The vigilant and indefatigable Lord Farnham, was however still upon the watch. About the 28th of January he wrote again to the Duke, reiterating his assurance that the subversion of the constitution was intended, and pledging his own unspotted cha- racter for the truth of the warning. The Duke of Cumberland having received this letter, could no longer doubt the danger to his country and family; he forthwith set out for England, and on the 7th " or 8th of Fe'iruary, he found at Brussels the King's speech confirming all that he had feared. On his arrival in this country, he was, it will be remembered, almost instantly seized upon hy the Duke of Welling- ton, and every form of solicitation, allurement, and even of menace, was employed to bend him to the mtschiev ous views of that minister j we need not say without effect. Two or three days after the Duke arrived, another instructive incident occurred, which was very near breaking up tbe ministry. A letter had been addressed to His Royal Highness, through Sir Charles Bagot, at the Hague; Sir Charles senUt forward to Berlin by past. The post in Holland is farmed by certain Jews, who are sometimes a little negligent, and the letter did not reach Berlin until after the Duke of Cumberland's departure. It fol- lowed him, however, to London and upon opening if, he found that it professed to he written by autho^ rity of ONE who, in a previous conversation at Wind- sor, assured him that he ' had never given any such authority. A serious misunderstanding between an illustrious person and * is minister followed but, a third party took upon herself the blame of the misr conception. Besides these circumstances, there were of ': er letters written,—- and some we apprehend for< » ed, — first with the purpose of keeping the Duke of Cumberland out of the kingdom, and afterwards with the design of enfeebling his opposition. We request our readers to give these circumstance their calmest consideration; and we leave them to draw their own conclusions. They may believe Vis when we assure them that we have weight in quarters higher than they think— the household peer who franked us the note last week wiil understand us—• and'they may believe us in a more important matter, that so far from tranquillity being the result of the fatal measure which has grieved every loyal Protest- ant, in the kingdom, it is but the commencement of a long series of scenes of bbod : it will bring not. peace, kilt a sword. To tbe fr ends of church and state we say, DTJRAT B • the res secundce will come in spite of the thick ai palpable clouds. that now overshadow us. and DUBLIN, APRIL 18. It requires to keep a close watch upon the motion* and proceedings of the leaders of tbe Roman Catholic body at present. The opponents of that obnoxious measure, which we must respect, because it has become the law of the land, declared that its con- cession would not in the slightest degree tend to terminate the agitation ; and evidence of the truth of their statement, and of their real knowledge of the designs of the demagogues has been air cadi; afforded. On the 14th instant, the very day succeeding that on which the royal assent was given to the bill, Mr. O'Connell, from his lodgings in Bury- street, franked a letter to one of " his dear friends" in. this country, meant of course for publication ; and published it has been in the two organs of the popish faction here, which contained the following, presents:— " THE Ft ILL t> AY OF FREEDOM. " ! VIy Dear Friend,.— 1. cannot allow this day to pass without expressing my congratulations to the lio' est men of Burgh Q- uay ( the scene o< the labours . of the Association, new and old,) on the subject of the relief hill It is one of the greatest triumphs recorded, in history— a bloodless . revolution, more extensive iu its'operation than nhnost any political change that could take place. I say political, to contrast it with social changes which might break to pieces the frame of society. This is a g > od beginning, and now if I can get the Catholics and Protestants to join, something- solid and substantial m. y be done for ail. It is clear; that without gros- i mismanagement it will be impossible to all JW iniSgo/ erument any longer iu • Ireland. It will riot be my fauir, unless then: shall be a 4 Society for the Improvement of Iivlandrt: or something, ehe of that dtts. rriplion, to watch nvr the rising liberties of Ireland.' 1 So, after all, O'Connell himself has come round to the same opinion as conscienti » us Protestants have that all through maintained and acknowledged; emancipation is riot, what the deluder* of the people of this country, and the apostates in both houses of parliament have declared it. " If," says Mr. O'Con • nell, " 1 can get Catholics and Protestants to join, something sdid and substantial may be done for Ireland." Again he talks of allowing misgovernment in Ireland no longer. It is a Circumstance" worthy of remark, that the concluding paragraph of Mr. O'CoiiiieH's letter, which I have marked in italic, is suppressed by the Morning Register, his own paper; but the indiscretion of the other journal in which it appeared, Grattan's paper, let the cat slip out of the bag* It is, however, fortunately so ; for the popish faction is completely unmasked by the oversight'. Emancipation satisfy them! " Wait a bit," say we. Emancipation extinguish the demagogues! Not while one of them remains unsatisfied. 1 have a few facts to communicate relative to occurrences which have arisen since the passing of TVJIE BILL. The Louth Liberal Club, a direct emun- stion from the Roman Catholic Associatian, which ( although the dictator declared in the upper bouse of parliament it was effectually suppressed) is still in existence, still actively engaged in the collection of rent, & c. the whole organization of the bodv being still maintained; the Louth club has published an advertisement calling on all persons entitled to register under the new act to send in to them accounts of such freeholds, & c. The Louth Free Press contains an announcement that the < c Catholic cathedral" ( ibis is the first, time that the name of cathedral has been given to a popish mass house, and is meant, of course, as a new species of conciliation,) will be consecrated in the course of next week bv the Catholic i( archbishops" of Drog- heda and Dublin, with the "- bishops" of the province. Bravo, Messieurs of the newly emancipated tribe! Well may ye laugh to scorn the prohibitions! of the bill which prohibits the assumption of the titles of the bishops of" the law church."

( Signed) F. LDON. e following peers afterwards signed the piotost: VVINCHILSE A uiid NOT- LONGFORD LOUD ELDON'S PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF THE CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. Dissentient, 1. Because this bill, 111 its principle and enactments, in our judgment, tends materially at present to weak- en, and threatens, tinally, essentially to injure, that establishment in church and state, which was formed ill 1688, ill order " that our religion, laws, and liber- ties, might not again be in danger ot' being sub- verted." 2. Because we do not think it consistent with the safety and welfare of this Protestant kingdom, which 110 person reconciled lo, or holding communion with, the see or church of Rome, or professing the popish religion, is by law capable of exercising any regal authority that a Protestant King should, either in parliament, or with respect to the duties attached to the great executive olliees in the state, conferring great political power, be advised by persons so recon- ciled, or holding such communion, or professing such religion. 3. Because it appears to us that when the estab- lishment of 1688 was formed, and lords spiritual and temporal and commons are in our statutes stated to have taken into their most serious consideration the best nteans for attaining the etid of forming an estab- lishment, in order that our religion, lairs, and liberties ini^ ht not. again be iu danger of being subverted, and they deemed it fit that every King, who shall there- iifter come to, and succeed in the imperial crown of this realm, should at his coronation, or his coming to parliament which should first happen, make, sub- scribe, and audibly repeat " the declaration" men- tioned in the statute made iu the 30th year of Charles II. entitled mi act for the more effectually preserving Ihe King's person and government, by disabling persons professing tl. c Pojiish religion to sit in parliament, and also thought lit to continue in full force and effect the provisions of the same statute with respect to peers and members of the House of Commons claiming to sit and vote in the houses of parliament, it must have been unquestionably their opinion that the PROTESTANTCY of the King alone was not. a sufficient security for the Protestant re- formed established religion, and that it must then have been the intention of the legislature that the KING, LORDS, and COMMONS should all be PRO- TESTANTS :— Protestant members of the legislature of a kingdom, declared, in the language of its laws, to be a Protestant kingdom. 4. Because, although the present bill enacts, among other matters, that the " declaration" required by the above- mentioned statute to be made and sub- scribed shall 110 longer be required lo he made or subscribed by any of his Majesty's subjects, and this enactment appears to have been made with intent to the enabling persons professing the Human Catholic religion lo sit iu parliament, the act of the 1st year of William and Mary appears still to be left in full force nml effect, which requires the King succeeding to the imperial crown of this kingdom to make and subscribe the declaration contained in the act of the 30th Charles 11. by its titles stated t. o be an act for more effectually preserving Ihe King's person and govern- ment, by DISABLING papists from sitting in parlia- ment. 5. Because Hie statutes which have been referred to in the course of the debates upon this bill, either repealing penal acts heretofore enforced against the llmiiitn Catholics, or statutes altering the periods at which persons admitted to offices and placcs of trust were to take the oaths required to be taken by such per- ons, or the annual indemnity acts, do not, in our opinion, justify the admission of Roman Catholics into parliament, or into ollices of state conferring very great political power, into which, by this act, they are to lie admitted. 6. Because it appears to us that it cannot be rea- sonably hoped that persons summoned by the King's writ to parliament., to advise the crown iu urgent and weighty matters concerning the church and state of this Protestant kingdom, if they are conscientiously attached to the church of Rome, can give due sup- port to our established reformed Protestant church, its concerns ami interests, as we apprehend it may be made to appear, upon a due consideration of the decrees and canons of their church, and of the oaths required to he taken by their bishops and priests, and from the writings of their members, that there is reason to apprehend that the united Protestant church of England and Ireland, and the Protestant church of Scotland, will not he by them admitted to be branches of the Catholic christian Church. 7. Because we are now called upon to consent to admit into parliament, and into ollices of great political power, ( with the exception only of otlices few, antl much loo few, iu number,) those who are by the hill exempted from acknowledging the King's supremacy iu matters ecclesiastical or spiritual, and required to acknowledge it only iu matters temporal or civil, although it seems to us that it cannot be reasonably denied thai, according to the doctrines pf the church of Rome, jurist':'.- iiou and authority in matters of a temporal and civil nature have been usurped and exercised in the united kingdom, con- nected with foreign influence, under the prctcncc that such matters are only of a spiritual nature, or that they are spiritual only because the authority is exer- cised in online ad spirituulia. 8. Because, althot gh persons hereafter becoming members iu either house of parliament are not to he required to make the declaration contained in the before- mentioned statute of Charles II. we, and all the present members of this house, have solemnly pro- fessed, in the presence of Gotl, our disbelief as to transiibstautiatiou, and our belief that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other saint, and the sacrifice of the mass, as they are now used in the church of Rome, are " superstitious and itlolutrohs," and the kings of this realm are slill required, as ahovcrmeutioned, solemnly so to declare upon the occasion aforementioned. 0. Because, although we have been repeatedly told that the present measures of parliament are measures w hich are finally to settle a long agitated question, we are convinced, regard being paid to the feelings of the King's Roman Catholic and Protestant subjects, that they cannot be expelled to have such effect; ami experience seems to have demonstrated that con- cession does not and w ill not stifle demand ; and the declarations of pers. nw, both lay aud ecclesiastical, appear to sanction the opinion ( hat concessions will he asked as long as any thing remains that can be con- ceded; and the rather, because, at the time when this hill has been brought forward, the measure may probably lie thought to be the effect of intimidation. 111. Because, though ( he Protestant church of England and Ireland, and Ihe Protestant church of Scotland are bv former laws declared lo be churches essentially and inv iolably to be maintained and pre- served, such declaration alone cannot be effectual inviolably to maintain them ; and if this hill tends to injure those churches, and repeal ctments of law necessary fur their . support, as we think it does, both iu its principle and enactments, the declaration that tin y arc to be inviolably maintained can give them 110 effectual support. 11 Because we cannot admit that any such ne- cessity for this bill has either Itfceu proved or slated as can justify our assent to it, considering the serious mischiefs, both to the church and stale, which we are afraid that the passing of this bill will occasion. 12. Because we are now about to tender to Irs Majesty this hill for his royal assent, and his Majesty must naturally he induced to suppose that we have dutifully and fully attended to his gracious leeom- TINGHAM ERN EST T, SAIUM \ till IN BEXLEY M AYO HAY ( Kinnotil) MANSFIELD BROW N LOW I'ARN IIAM SIDMOUTH EARNBOROUGH CLAN nit ASSI L Rod en) A\ LESBURY ABINGDON ROMNKY ( Earl of ENNISKILLEN ROLLE KEN YON LORTOW O'NEILL VERULAM TIIOMON D NORWICH ( Duko of Gordon) DIGUV SHAFTESBURY FALMOUTH SKELHERSDALE NEWCASTLE FEVERSHAM BRADFORD. LORD ROM NET'S PROTEST Against the third Beading of the Catholic Belief Billi DISSENTIENT, 1. Because the principle of exclusion of the Roman Catholics from parliament was recognized and sane tinned at the period of the revolution, when that principle w as extended to the crown, thereby cont pleting that essentially and exclusively Protestant constitution ; and by which the Protestant establish- ments of these kingdoms have been from that time see u red. 2. Because no security, except that of A legislature exclusively Protestant, as Settled at the revolution can be adequate to the permanent protection of the Pioteslant establishments of these kingdoms, 3. Because, therefore, the Protestant character of the two houses of parliament is as essential to the constitution as the Protestant character of the royal branch of the legislature 4. Because it does appear that the present bill cannot be passed into a law consistently With a strict observance of the coronation oath, which oath, like every other, ought to be construed according to the plain obvious meaning of the words, in Ihe sense in which it was framed, and in which it was taken. 5. Because it is impossible to reconcile with that oath the admission to political and legislative power of Roman Catholics, who, iu proportion to their con- scientious attachment to their church, are bound by the duty which they owe to that church, to use their endeavours to remove what that church condemns as a dangerous heresy, and to restore to that church those rights, that authority, and that establishment, of which they consider the Roman Catholic church to have been wrongfully dispossessed. 6. Because the Roman Catholic church, claiming infallibility, has never herself disclaimed any of those doctrines or pretensions which give just ground of objection and alarm to Protestants; and denying the right of any individual to judge for himself in matters of faith, doctrine, or church government, has deprived any disclaimer by individuals of that authority to which, from individual character, it might otherwise have been entitled. 7. Because laws, which are of vital and permanent importance to the religious and political constitution of this country, ought not to be sacrificed to a mea- sure of alleged expediency, fhe good effects of which, if any, can only be of short duration 8. Because, considering the time at which, and the means by which, these concessions have been obtained — considering also the character of the Roman Catholic church, and the dominion which that church exercises over the minds and consciences of those who are in communion with her; it is impossible that the demand of concessions should stop at this point, when great political and legislative power is given to the lay members of the Roman Catholic church, while from that church and her hierarchy every object of ipiritual and temporal ambition is professedly with held. 9. Because, therefore, continued demands, either for the increase of the power and inOtience of the Roman Catholic church, or for the diminution of the power, influence, and property of the Protestant established churches, will necessarily follow, while the means of resisting such demands will be materially reduced. 10. Because, independent of ulterior consequences, the present measure, if passed into a law, will subvert thill Protestant constitution by which the Protestant establishments of these kingdoms have been effectually secured, and to which ( he mass of the population of these kingdoms, comprising a very large proportion of the religious ami constitutional intelligence of the country, have unequivocally expressed their attach- ment.

Because we deem it unfit aud iudecorous that a measure fraught with such important and set ions consequences, should be carried with unbridled haste, under cover of another measure absorbing the whole public attention. 10. Because we. think it'inconsistent with the sages, aud derogatory to tile characiefr anil dignity of parliament, to consent ever to abrogate the rights and liberties of the humble classes of his Majesty's unoffending subjects on the bare assevera- tion of the Kintr's ministers of the existence of a ease of expediency, or even of a state necessity, for so extraordinary a measure, without further inquiry. 11. Because, further, whilst we acknowledge nduhitubly a supreme authority in parliament to legislate in the spirit of justice, we deny its title to arbitrary power to legislate iu the spirit of injustice, especially in the summary and unexplained destruction of that immediate constituency through its responsibility, to which at ull times one estate of parliament derives its only constitutional power, as it previously had derived its creution. 12. Because we cannot but bear in mind that the elective franchise in England is built upon similar, mil no more secuie foundations, than those we are about to tear away ; aud that this, therefore, at. a future moment of public upathy, may be drawn into a dangerous precedent, iu justification of a cor. responding curtailment of the elective rights of Ihe yeenniiiry of England. 13. Because we cannot but recollect that the preservation and security of all public and private property rest upon 110 other basis than the moral inviolability of those principles, which we are now Hbout to overthrow upon a declaration by- ministers, that parliament must consent to this measure of injustice uud restriction, as the necessary price and appendage of one of concession. 14. Because we deem this principle of barter, in questions of justice aud legislation, us dangerous in its consequences as it is repulsive und unseemly in its immediate character. 15 Because, whilst we are most willing and anxious to correct every proved abuse, we cannot consent to commence the reformation of any pari of the stale by its subversion.

Among the few heads of the Church who were recently most prominent in glossing over the Romish tenets, and supporting the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, was Dr. Coplcstone, the Bishop of Llandaff.— About two years and a halt' ago, this same Dr. Coplesiope preached and published a sermqii, from which the following is an extract:— " If caution be requisite for those who think some restraints upon our Roman Catholic fellow subjects essential to our own security, still graver is the duty of those who seek to remove them altogether, and still more solemn should be the warning addressed to them, not to bend religion to their political views; not to represent the difference as slight or unimport- ant between the pure doctrines of our church anil that spurious mixture of fraud, of fable, of priestcraft, and superstition, with which the church of Rome has corrupted and overlaid tlie gospel. To know what the doctrines of that church really are, we must seek them in countries where her sway is undisputed, and her spiritual darkness not illumined by any friendly ray issuing from the brighter bodies that surround it. It is iu this way we reason upon all other subjects. If, for instance, we are desirous of learning the genuine properties of any material siibstalice, which is com- monly found in contact or in combination with others, we carefully separate, us far us we can, the foreign ingredients, anil think we ascertain the true character of the body we are considering, in proportion as we examine it in its insulated and independent state. I. et the same test be applied to the Romish church ; nnd wc shall find that precisely as its characteristic tenets have prevailed, the spirit of real Christianity has declined. Her policy has ever been to keep the people in blind subjection to the priesthood : and as ignorance and superstition and imposing ceremonies have always been the readiest means of accomplishing this purpose, so has that church not scrupled to em- ploy them, according to the power she possessed, till at length the religion of Christ has been made to resemble a political machine, or a heathen pageant, instead of being the guide of men's lives, and the source of hope and holy comfort to their souls, through faith in the merits of their Redeemer. " If the false estimate I allude to, of the difference between the Protestant and the Romish faith, arise from inattention of from ignorance, we must pity either the want of information, in matters concerning which it is so easily to be obtained, or the want of power to discriminate between things really so differ- ent in their own nature. But if from any selfish or any worldly motive this representation is ever made, if party spirit, or a love of popularity, or a foolish desire of being thought liberal, or a dread of popish vengeance, or a mean subservieucy to the political views of others— if these or any one of these motives possess the heart, and incline it to prevaricate in so sacred a cause, deep indeed is the guilt of that man, and flagrant the insult offered to the Majesty of heaven. But let any one, as he values the honour of God and the peace and salvation of his own soul, let him not burthen his conscience with a sin so grievous. Let him not thus provoke the righteous judgment of God. It is a wilful sacrifice of divine truth to worldly feelings and worldly interests. AND AS THE ALMIGHTY REJECTED SAUL FROM BEING KING OVER ISRAEL, when he presumed to make religion subordinate to his schemes of policy, so will Christ reject those from a share in his kingdom who are ashamed or afraid under any circumstances to con- fess him befoie men, or who think that any object upon earth can be so important as to justify a com- promise of the pure word of God in order to obtain it." political © pinions. [ FROM THE MORNING JOURNAL.] The Constitution of 1688 has at lenglh been de- stroyed, and that by a son of George the Third! That measure has been passed into a law which levels all religious distinctions— all distinctions between sub- jects of the King and subjects of the Pope— and changes essentially the position which this country has hitherto occupied among the other Protestant and Catholic states of Europe. What may be tbe consequences of this change we shall not venture at present to predict. Of the men who have done this we have spoken freely, but his Majesty we still respect loo sincerely to cause him pain. We leave his Majesty to the future historian— we leave the country to avenge itself. Whatever sentiments we may now entertain towards the reigning Sovereign we shall hush them up in oiir bosom. They shall there brood and boil, but never during the present King's life - time shall they be allowed to assume the form of words. But far differently shall we deport ourselves towards his present Ministers, who have, in defiance of con sisteucy and common decency, inflicted so signal ; disaster on the nation. They have lost the con- fidence of the country— they nre alike unprincipled aud despotic— and we shall oppose tliem by every means in our power. They are only upon the threshold of their difficulties, and we hope to see the day when they will be as universally deserted by their country as the unfortunate Mr. Canning was by them. There is a power in this country which 110 Minister can resist— which rides on the storm and whirlwind of popular opinion— which overturns tbeo ries, extinguishes dynasties, and levels to the earth the pretensions of the mightiest of men. James the Second absconded— Marlborough died in disgrace ! The Roman Catholic question is settled, is it ? It is as far from being settled as ever ! It never will be settled ! This atrocious measure will not give peace to Ireland. It has exasperated nine- tenths of the Protestant population— it has not satisfied the Catho- lics. It will not give bread to starving men— it will not remove the pressure of those theoretical experi ments which have covered the land with bankruptcy At this moment England is struggling with unexam- pled distress. We have lost our credit abroad — there is 110 confidence. The Minister resists every proposition for the removal of distress, while at the aime instant the revenue is falling off, our expenditure exceeds our income, and every power iu Europe insults us with impunity. How can this end other- wise but in some terrible commotion which will break all the bonds of society ? Our moral condition is as lamentable as is our physical. What is there in an oath? It is a vow made to be broken ! What is a solemn contract ? A convenient restraint, imposed only upon the weaker party ! Such is the example set us by men high in office, and by the ministers of religion. The pro- prieties of private life are desecrated by exalted statesmen; and private worth, conjugal fidelity, the virtues of chastity and honour, are not now esteemed of any great value. The most unblushing venality calls down no censures; apostacy is a joke, dishonesty a trifle, and prostitution the most marketable com- modity where there are favours to be received. Such was the state of France before the Revolution! EARTHQUAKE IN SPAIN. LORD CLANCARTY'S PROTEST AGAINST THE CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. DISSENTIENT, 1. Because at a period when the conduct of the Irish Romanists had been, and for a long course of time, so outrageous and inconsistent with all legiti- mate Government, no concession whatever should have been granted to llieni; still less should they, in the face of their declarations of hostility to the United Church Establishment of Gieat Britain and Ireland, and of their expressed desire to separate Ireland from Great Britain, have been invested with political power. 2. Because the present Bill, when enacted into a law, wilt afford a permanent recorded legislative pre- cedent, holding out for ever cucourageinent to the promotion of sedition and rebellion, by the grant of the highest possible reward. ( Signed) CLANCARTY. The following Peers afterwards signed it:— VERULAM, NF WCASTI. E, FARNHAM. THE EARL OF ELDON. ( Signed) THE DUKE OF RICHMOND'S PROTEST Against the Third Handing of tho Forty- shilling Freeholders' 11) isfranchisement Bill. DISSENTIENT, 1. Because to seizo upon and to confiscate tho indubitable rights, privileges, and franchises of unoffending citizens— unaccused, unheard, untried — by whole descriptions, by hundreds and thou- sands together, is an utter subversion of that immutable law of true justice, which is at once the vital principle aud the most beautiful iu the British constitution. 2 Because if is in direct violation of the great charter of the liberties of England, which enacts " that uo. freeholder shall be disseized or essoined of lands, chattels, franchises, or of any right, with- out lawful judgment of his peers." 3. Because the same security is confirmed to tho people in the petition of right, but now will be encroached upon. 4 Because it is in defiance of the act for the further limitation of the crown, and better securing the rights aud liberties of the subject, which sets forth, " that the laws of England are the birthright of the people thereof." 5 Because we are of opinion that such sacred statutes ought not to be invaded without due caution and deliberate consideration at least, nor without the clearest demonstration of au insur- mountable state necessity. 0. Because we deem the arbitrary enactment of ex post fac to law, for the summary as well as final destruction, without repeal or compensation, not only of the vested rights of life interests, but even of those hereditary privileges which belong to fee simple estates, is as contrary to the spirit , and practice of the British constitution, as it is harsh and severe in its retrospective operation upon those who may happen to be affected by it. 7 Because, arguing from analogy of that act of the Irish Union, which granted, by authority of parliament, pecuniary compensation, amounting to above £ 1,200,000, to those cities and boroughs which consented to resign their elective charters, and from that act of 1710, which, in relation to Scotland, granted upwards of half a million ol money, in compensation for the deprivation of heritable jurisdictions, as well as from that article, of the Scotch Union, which reserves, among others, superiorities, as rights of property, to the owners thereof— We feel bound to consider the elective franchise of Ireland in the double light of a privi- lege, and a property of computable pecuniary value, and must, therefor^, view any arbitrary deprivation of both, without compensation, in the sense of a spoliation. 8. Because we are of opinion that the ulterior consequences of this measure will be a successful endeavour, by many Irish landlords, to eject a vast number of the existing leaseholders from their 40s. freeholds, in the intention of consolidating the same into £ 10 . freeholds, for the sinister purposes of political influence; whereof the consequeuces in a country destitute of any refuge established by law for the preservation of the unfortunate pauper from misery aud starvation, will be to reduce multitudes It would be impossible for any man to retire from public life under circumstances more creditable to himself than those which accompany the Earl of Eldon's long and distinguished Parliamentary career. He has now reached that age beyond which few men, however gifted by nature, have long preserved the vigour of their faculties ; — his have yet suffered no visible decay from time ; but it is not consistent with the lot of humanity to suppose that he cou'Id much longer continue to be an energetic' actor on the theatre of political life. It frequently happen^ that celebrated men impair, by the ambitious feebleness of old age, the splendour of their former fame. The history of mankind abounds with instances of the passion for public distinction continuing to display itself after the abilities that fed it have been ex hausted. But solve scnescentcm ? is a proverb of antiquity which cannot be applied to Lord Eldon His speech on the third reading of the " Catholic Relief Bill," in which he unnounces his intention to retire from public life, is itself convincing evidence of the unimpaired energ y of his intellect. Such a speech must leave a recollection of him behind not inferior to the memory of his best days. It shows that neither the hand of time, nor the severe course of application to which his faculties have been devoted, nor the pressure of political adversity, has tamed his spirit, or rendered his mental powers less vigorous and effective than they were in the meridian of life, when encircled with the pomp of office and the sunshine of royal favour; but that speech will be memorable for more than this. It will long afford a rare and felicitous example of political consistency at a period remark- able for apostacy and desertion. It stamps his cha- racter, in the eye of history, firm as a rock amid the abandonment of principles and the wreck of opinions. It shows him to be a man w ho, notwithstanding all that has been said of his love of wealth and power, values an approving conscience and an honourable fame still higher than either; it shows that, even in these times, a statesman can sacrifice ambition to principle, and a lawyer disdain the temptations of venality. Seeing the sudden, and, we might almost add, the miraculous conversions which the change in the opinions of a Minister has wrought. in the Aris- tocracy of the land, the moral interest of politics would be lost, the confidence in public men, their oath*, their pledges, and their promises, be utterly . destroyed, unless there were now and then such an example as that of I. ord Eldon, to make political consistency and virtue appear something more than a dramatic deception.— Morning Herald.. Madrid, March 30.— The earthquake which we experienced here on the 21st instant, at a quarter- past six o'clock, p. m. was felt on the same day, and at the same hour, in the province of Murcia, where it was attended with the most melancholy consequences. Below is a summary of the letters received to- day from that unfortunate province, dated on the 29th instant:— Murcia, capital of the province.— Not a single church or edifice that has not been considerably damaged. Thebiidge of Seoura, which unites the two parts of the city, has suffered materially. Several bouses have n ruined, and a great number of persons have perished. Cm tbagena.— Tbe quarter of Serrata has been ruined. Saint Fnlgencia has disappeared. Rojales, La Granja, Cox, San Miguel, Callosa, nnd several other cities and villages, have suffered a great al of injury. La Malta is a heap of ruins; the earthquake has dried up two salt lakes. Torre Vieja.— Not a single house is standing; the number of killed and wounded is very great. Oribuelo.— Some edifices have fallen; the number of deaths here is but seven; the whole population is in the fields. Gtiardamar is no longer in existence; two windmills only are standing, the village having entirely disap- peared. Maajda, and several other villages in the vicinity, have sustained great injury. Rafal.— This village has been destroyed; the num- ber killed and wounded is immense. Aix- Garres.-— Several bouses have tumbled ; and a mountain near the town has rolled away, and several individuals have perished. Bencjuzar.— The greater part of the houses have fallen ; the number of wounded is considerable, and the killed amount to 250. Almoravi.— Not a single house or edifice remaining on this foundation. Already 400 persons have been tak< n dead from beneath the ruins, besides a large number of wounded. At Benejnzar four craters opened, two of which threw out lava, und tbe others exhalations so foetid that they were felt ut more than the distance of league. At Buzot the mineral waters disappeared, and hurst forth again at more than two leagues' distance from the town. The river Segura has changed its bed, and now joins the sea by a new channel. The craters, which have opened on the spot where Torre- Vieja formerly 6tood, throw out from different apertures torrents of putrid water. The earthquake was accompanied with a subterrane- ous noise, resemhliug that of several divisions of cavalry put to flight nnd followed by their camp trains. The shocks and oscillations were so strong that all the bells of the churches sounded of themselves. Several indi- viduals who happened to be in balconies at the time were precipitated into the street. Our contemporary of The Times has not even allowed the ink to be dry with which the subversion bill is printed before it has opened its buttery iu favour of " OTHER MEASURES." We give the Times great credit for this, for a skilful general should never lose a moment in following up his success. The capital has been carried, and now is the juncture to assail the minor forts, to let out the waters, to level all the mounds, to disarm the inha- bitants, and completely conquer and pacify the country.— One battle has been gained, and other victories are calculated upon. Speaking of Ireland, our contemporary ( only yesterday) exclaims,— " Away, then, to the flames with that parchmeut union which heretofore was null, and is henceforth needless!" We say, Amen !— away with it, and be — be God praised, and the nation thankful! But The'I tines already looks forward to something of far greater importance than this. It says, in u sort of rhapsody that would have done credit to ANA- CHARSIS CLOOTB ; " There are still vast public interests to be guarded— mighty principles to be vindicated.- grievous wrongs to be redressed-'-. powerful reparations to be enforced against powerful offenders; rights of commerce- - rights of jurisprudence— rights of repre sentation— rights of humanity — all to be brought under speedy anil frequent deliberation. I. et the Duke of Wellington, there- fore, look to it well. Docs he plead want of aeuteness!— the Catholic Bill I Want of influence!— the Catholic Bill I Waut of resolution l.- again, anil for ever, the Catholic Bill I— carried against odds incomparably more fearful, anil through difficul- ties more besetting, than aiiy one, or than all together, of thos. ameliorations In our Internal policy which the foes of mercan. tile monopoly, or of ruinous litigation, or of bribed boroughs, or of perverted poor laws, or ot barbarous corn laws, demand- aud will insist upon, please GOD— from whomsoever may hap. pen to be our rulers." This is excellent. " Rights of representation- rights of humanity." That is, parliamentary reform and negro emancipation! Away with the bribed boroughs, Westbury among the rest— down with the Chancellor, down with the corn laws, 110 church, 110 tithes— down with every thing but the funds, the corn- jobbers, theslopsellers, the smugglers, and the knaves of London What say you to this, Si. Masseli Manasseh Lopez and Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge? No boroughs— no corn laws, gentle men ! The Times has issued the decree, and both of you must appear when called upon to answer for your political sins. Aud you will be culled upon speedily. So it is written in the bond. You have aided the " discontented spirits" in levelling tl constitution nnd pulling down the church; there fore you must join your friends in robbing your selves— iu burning your fetid parchments, and growing bad wheat uud poor oats, which we wi buy of you just at such a price as we find it conve- nient to pay.

SPLENDID PRESENT TO THE BISHOP OF LON- DON.— On Saturday evening last a deputation from the parishioners of St. Botolph, Bishopsgatc, waited upon their lato rector, the Bishop of London, and presented to hiin a magnificent piece of plate, pursuant to resolutions passed iu 1828. It is a large candelabrum, consisting of a large round base on three massive feet, with very richly chased and pierced border of fruit, scrolls, and flowers, rising into smaller circles, with highly chased border of foliage; the space between the borders enriched with branches of palm and olive, with a three- sided plinth resting on the above, and enriched with two highly. finished medallions of St. Paul preaching at Athens, and the bringing of little children to Christ in the Temple; and the third side has this inscription—" Presented, 1828, by the parishioners of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, to their late rector, the Right Hon. and Right Rev. Charles James Blonifield, D. D. Lord Bishop of Loudon, in token of their respect, esteem, and affectionate gratitude for the splendid talent, the pious example, aud the liberal and charitable spirit which, during his ministry, instructed, counselled, aud consoled tliein." The candelabrum is three feet high, weighs 800 ounces, and cost 700 guineas. NEW METHOD OF DESTROYING SLUGS— MR. H Pike, gardener at W itikfield Park, Berks, states that having had all the young cauliflowers and cabbage plants in his garden devoured by slugs, notwithstanding his adoption of every known ex- pedient for their destruction, he was induced to try the efficacy of chaff for this purpose, and accordingly spread, some well cut chaff round the young plants under hand glasses, and some round the outside of the glasses, the success of which was complete. "' Fhe slugs," says Mr. Pike, " in their attempt to reach the plant, find themselves immediately enveloped in the chaff, which prevents their moving so that, when I go in the morning to elevate the glasses to give the plants air, I find hundreds of disabled slugs round the outside of the glasses, which I take away and destroy."— This is a cheap simple, and effectual method of preventing the depredations of these mischievous insects, aud well worth the attention of every gardener. • The success of the Turkish cam paign has made the national habits popular in Puris. The hotels of the chief leaders of fashion are furnished with Ottomans. All the pretty women who have thick legs are beginning to think trowgers the most becoming dress in tlie w orld. Tbe beaux garcons, who have hitherto made their faces, from the cheek- bone dowuwards, the bearers of every style of European hair- dressing, from the Russ whisker to the German moustache, and from that to the delicate but expressive Imperiale, now con- centrate tlieir vigour round tbe chin, aud the beard a la Sultane is so universal, that the price of hub- bus risen formidably. Many of the haut noblesse have commenced their family arrangements 011 the model of Islam, and several liarams are already filled. Religion is a matter of more tardy change; but those who are unembarrassed by prejudices on the subject, and they certainly constitute nine- teuths of the philosophers, savans, nnd distingues in both rank and fortune, of the metropolis of taste, have so long been practical Mahometans, that 110 kind of doubt can be entertained of their adopting publicly and enthusiastically a religion which, allowing a man to follow his pleasures here as much as he likes, assures him of estates and arbour silken sofas, rose water, and houries by the hundredj whenever he grows tired of going to the opera, attending levi es at the Tullleries, or swallowing the dust al Champs Elysces. LUDICROUS SCENE.— In a case which occurred ( lie Crown Court during the late Gloucester Assizes, a countryman who had been subpoenaed us a w itness on the part of a prisoner, set the whole Court in a roar of laughter. Matters proceeded very smoothly during his direct examination, and he made no objection to answer any question which was put to him for his friend iu the dock, but after he had been subjected for some time to the galling fire of a cross- examination by the Counsel for the prosecution, he became restive, and at length finding his stock of patience completely exhausted, he expressed his determination to answer no more questions from the same quarter in the following resolute terms: " 1 wunt say 110 more— be dom'd if I do— l'se a told you all I knows about it— and that's all 1 got to say, by !" When the Counsel for the prisoner again addressed him, he said, " Aye, I can speak to thees mon, but its impossible vor I to answer so mony on ye, at wonce— as to the Lord— he up there—( pointing to the bench)— let tut ax me as mony questions as tin likes, aud I'll answer an, but l'se cont talk to a lot of fellows all at one time," The Duke of Wellington has recently purchased large estate, late the property of Sir Peter Pole, 11 the neighbourhood of Stratfieldsay, for upwards of £ 250,000. Cardinal Castiglione is the new Pope. He was elected 011 the 31st of March, aud took the Jiame of PiusVllL: he is 68 years old. CONCILI ATION !— The following specimen of con - ciliation is from a Popish newspaper, published in Dublin, called I'hc Pilot, which, in noticing Lord Eldon's late speech iti the House of Peers says— " The old beldam lord uttered one truth, tind wo record it as a solitary exception— hesaid thechurcli was the most vnluable legacy they could leave their children. Not a doubt of it, old boy. Etglit milliona year i.- the patronage of the- concubines, anil courtiers of the Tory nobility— and distributed among sons, brothers, nephews, pimps, and bastards, is a valuable inheritance indeed." SILK TRADE.— In the House of Commons, on Monday, Mr. FYLER, after presenting petitions from many thousands of the silk manufacturers, setting forth the depression of their trade and their great distress, proceeded to support the statements of the petitioners, and concluded by moving for. the appointment of a Committee to enquire into the laws affecting the trade: at the same time, the Hon. Member himself attributed the distress of tho petitioners to what is called the free trade system, founded on a departure from the principles of our ancient commercial laws.— Mr. ROBINSON seconded the motion— Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD, on tho part of Government, contended that the distress had nothing to do with the free- trade system, but was the consequence of overtrading or overproduction ; and he announced the iutentiou of Government to reduce further the duties on some descriptions of foreign imported silks.— The discussion of the subject occupied the House the whole of Monday and Tuesday nights ; and the gentlemen % vho spoke in behalf of the distressed petitioners, said, the intentions announced 011 the part of Government would add to the distress of the British silk- manufacturers.— O11 a division, Mr. fyler's motion was negatived by a majority of 149 to 31. I11 the House cf Commons on Wednesday night, Mr. PEEL introduced his bill for the retaliation of Ihe police of the metropolis. The follow ing are the principal facts adduced in the speech of the right honourable gentleman :— The number of criminal charges in Loudon are as 1 to 383, the number in the country only 1 lo 822. In 1821 there wesa 2,500 convictions iu the metropolis, with a popu- lation of 1,200,000; and iu 1828, when the popu- lation was only 1,350,000, the convictions were 3,500, being a proportion of sbout 1 to 500 in the former, and 1 to 400 in the latter, year. The increase of criino has, therefore, been about 40 per cent, since 1821, while the increase of population has only been about 15 per cent. The enormous number of charges in the metropolis, not less than the increase of couvictions, very forcibly demon- strate the inefficiency of the machinery for the prevention of crime. This inefficiency Mr. Peel uttributes chiefly to the circumstance of the watch being under the sole coutrou! of the parochial authorities, and uppointed by them. I11 several parishes the consequences have been singula!. In St. Pancrus there are no less than eighteen different corps, every one independent of the rest; in Lambeth there are also several independent corps under different trusts; Kensington, a district six- teen miles in circumference, has only three constables and three headboroughs ; iu the parish of Tottenham, where, during a period of only six weeks, sixteen burglaries were pcipetrated aud three attempted, there are 110 regular constables at all; in S< ulham, and many other parishes in the suburbs, there are no constables, and no regular police; in Deptford, with the dock- yards, and all the other facilities to crime, there is not a single egular watchman. The remedies to these dis- orders Mr. Peel proposes lo be gradual; the general principle, however, is to take the appoint- ment of the police from the parishes, and to vest it u a central board; in short, to assimilate the police of London to the police of Dublin and Ediuburgh. ANECDOTE OF ARCHDEACON DAUBENY-— Not long ago ( said the Archdeacon, in relating the circumstance to one of his friends), a most singular individual, miserably clad, and the very picture of poverty, requested to see me. After a short preface lie told me he was a converted Jew. My mind migave me about the man ; but as 1 felt reluctant to turn him empty away, I eutered into conversa- tion with him at some length, and questioned hiin pretty closely. His answers were so singularly well expressed, and evinced such an intimate acquaintance with Scripture— his account of himself so plausible— and the change which gradually took place in his mind was so extremely natural, and so ingeniously described— that 1 felt convinced I had done him injustice. I kept him ten days, clothed him, and gave him a draft for ten guineas. Two days afterwards 1 heard of his getting drunk at a public house in the village, aud boasting how gloriously he had gulled old Daubeny I CANTERBURY.— Some time since a portion of Ihe cliff, amounting in weight to many thousand tons, detached itself from tho great body at Pegwell, and fell into the ocean. Several curious specimens of ore, pyrites, & c. were found at the time; and a piece of gold, inclosed in a clay- like substance, was picked up and sold by the owner for forty pounds. Within the last fortnight several singular pieces of ore have been picked up by Mr. Cramp of the Belle Vue Tavern. A letter from Antigua, dated Jan. 31, says:—" A most distressing occurrence happened yesterday. The ship Agincourt, from Bristol to St. Kitt's, got upon a rock opposite to our house, and by daylight yesterday morning she was in a blaze, iu conse- quence of some lime 011 board having been washed by the water. It was an awful sight! In less than an hour afterwards not a plank of her was to ba seen. Thank God ! no lives were lost." At the Norfolk Assizes, on Tuesday, Thomas Churchyard was put to the bar, charged with feloniously killing Elizabeth Squirril. This case, front the mysterious circumstances under which the death of tho unfortunate woman occurred, aud the fact of a knife having been discovered buried in her side after death, of which the surgeons had no sus- picion, and of which she herself appeared to be ignorant while alive, excited general interest. The grand jury having thrown out the bill for murder, the prisoner was arraigned only for manslaughter, both on the indictment and the coroner's iuquisi- t tion. It appeared by the evidence, that the prisoner and the deceased lived as servants together in the house of Mr. Ilodwell, solicitor, of Ipswich ; that the deceased wus iu the capacity of house- keeper, and the prisoner in that of butler. On Sunday, the 12th of October, sotno fttigry words passed between the prisoner and the deceased respecting a tray cloth, which deceased hud taken from the pantry without the prisoner's knowledge. He told her he would throw tlio knives ( four of which he held in his hand) at her. She appeared to be in the act of striking, or rushing at him, when he threw the knives violently at Iter feet. After which only three of the knives could bo found. Tho deceased from that time compltiiticd of great pain iu her side, and ditd 011 the Tuesday morning. The jury returned with a verdict of not guilty. The learned judge told the prisoner that he had had a narrow and fortunate escape. He was then dis- charged. The deceased was about 33 years of age, and a single woman; the prisoner is a married man. His wife lives near Ipswich, und has two children.
