ONSOLATION to the TREMULOUS WRITER.— The Public may look to this most singular aad unique Invention with confidence, as an inestimable source of eomfort to those who experience any difficulties in the command of the pen, occasioned by tremor or nervous affetions, heat of cli~ mate, agitation of spirits, exeess or over exertion, weakness from age, injury of the thumb or fingers by sprain or otherwise, even to the loss ef part. This happy relief exists in a little INSTRUMENT, the appearance of which, whea in use, escapes observation's capable of giving firmness, confidence and freedom, and cannot fail to assist the declining powers of a good penman, and would ma- terially improve the performance of a bad one. It is honoured by the patronage and recommendation ® f Sir Astley Cooper, and otMer highly respectable profes- sional gentlemen. A few minutes practice will prove its efficacy, and it has this advantage over all medicine, its power increases by use, and one prescription will ' ast for life.

THE METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE.— We understand the forthcoming number of tbe Metropolitan Magazine will contain a poem, entitled the " Cherubs," the production ot its distinguished editor, Thomas Campbell, Esq, The Metropolitan will, in future, be published by Messrs. Saunders and Otley, Conduit- street. DUEL PREVENTED.— Information being received at the station- bouse of tbe E division, in George- street, St. Giles's, that a duel was to be fought in Battersea- fields, between four and five o'clock on the following morning, the inspector on duty immediately dis- patched two policemen to the spot. At the time mentioned two { gentlemen came from one direction, who were almost ingtantly suc- ceeded by two others from a different road. They all four met, and the seconds, after measuring the ground, took their stations, upon which the constables rushed from their hiding place, and, after a chase, took all the parties into custody, and carried them to Queen- square. where Mr. Gregorie ordered each ofthe parties to find sure- ties, himself in 2001. and two sureties of 1001. each, to keep tbe peace towards each other for the space of six menfhs. The required recog nizances being entered into they were set at liberty. HIGH 1,/ rr: IN THE COUNTRY.— The clever authoress of " Country Bouses," has given an admirable picture of the amusements and oc- cupations of the aristocracy during a country residence ; their sayings and doings at e recorded with an accuracy which will startle many readers, and leaves little doubt that their witty chronicler must have drawn from real life. On Tuesday last an explosion of fire damp took place at Scurr's Pit, near Flimby. A man named Jonathan Oastle, of Dearham, was at work with an open candle, which came in contact with the gas, and he was so severely burnt by it as to preclude all hope, of recovery; two brothers, who were on tbe main road leading to the shafts, were thrown by the force of the explosion a considerable distance, and one of them was picked up a corpse, his skull being fractured and his body otherwise much mangled. The other brother was fortunately little injured.— IVIiitehaven Herald. THE MAIL COACHES.— It has been stated in some of the papers that it was the intention of the mail- coach contractors to discontinue running the mails with four horses, and in their place a light carriage with two horses would be substituted. That arrangement, however, if made, cannot be carried into effect until tbe expiration of the ensuing three years, when the contract with Mr. Vidler will expire. The contract is renewed every seven years, when the coutractor is required to find sureties to the amount of 20,000!. to keep the mails in a proper condition to perform the various journeys, and for which fee is paid at the rate of 3d. per mile : an extra allowance of course is made for new carriages when they are required. The contract with the coach proprietors for working tbe mails is renewed every three months, and the Post- offi, e stipulate to pay 9d., and on some roads Where the mail travels at great speed LOD. per mile for the conveyance t of the letter bags. Representations have been made to the Post Office by the coach proprietors, that the sum they receive does not sufficiently compensate them for tbe expense they are compelled to incur in consequence of the rapid manner in which tbe mails proceed; but hitherto tnose representations have been ineffectual. The Chester mail was taken off'the road a short time ago, in consequence of the- proprietors beittg unable to work it at tbe Post- office allowance ; and it is expected that the coach proprietors will refuse to enter into fresh contracts for some of the other mails, unless more liberal terms are offered them. The Chester bags are now conveyed to Lichfield by the Liverpool mail, and from thence conveyed in a cart to Chester. THE BKIMSH MAGAZTNE, NO. 111. for May.— Of this Magazine we have already spoken, it is a complete Monthly Register of Religious and Ecclesiastic.- 1 information, and comes forth most opportunely to meet, by sobet arguments and reply by facts, to attacks upon the Established Church. It is edited by a Clerical Gentleman, of ac- knowledged talent and high respectability, and has a claim not only to support from the clergy but from every layman also, who has the preservation of the integrity of the Church of England at heart.— The work also cor, tains sketches of Parochial History, and documents respecting the Stste of the Poor, Emigration, Savings Banks, & c., Plans for the Amelioration of their Condition, & c. tliat are at this time of great value, and such as every one connected with those affairs should make themselves acquainted with— it contains, in fact a mass of important intelligence and interesting matter, which we may seek in vain in any other periodical publication, and we wish it a more extensive sale than it even at present enjoys. Steam boats now run lietween Canton and Pekin. A Canton paper contains an advertisement of the steamer King- fa. to leave on the following day. " She carries cows, a surgeon, band of music, and has rooms elegantly fitted up for oards and opium smoking." An application for a new theatre at Wampoa has been refused, for the reason that there are already five theatres in the city, which aie quite enough for its population, which does not exceed 350,000. & UPDEN DEATH.— Thursday morning Mr. James May, a respecta- blfe tradesman in Great North- street, Marylebone, while talking to a . <; t) » toj% r, suddenly raised bis hand to his forehead, and exclaiming, " Oh. Goo ! what is this!" fell down dead. He has left a tvulotv eevrh children. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. ABSTRACT of a BILL, entitled, " An Act to Restrain and Regulate the holding of Plurality of Dignities and Benefices by Spiritual Persons," which, having passed the House of Lords, is now in the House of Commons:— After the repeal of the disabling clause of the 21st Henry Eighth, of the clauses of the same statute enabling certain personsto purchase dispensations, and of so tnuch of that Act as enables certain spiritual persons to accept any number of benefices, the Bill proceeds to enact that if any spiritual person having any deanery, prebend, or canonry, or any precentorship, treasurership, subdeanry, chancellorship of the church, or other dignity ( except an archdeaconry) in any cathedral or collegiate church or churches, or any wardenship or fellowship in a collegiate church, shall accept or take any deanery, prebend, canonry, precentorship, treasurership, subdeanry, chancellorship of the church, or other dignity ( except an archdeaconry) in any cathe- dral or collegiate church, or any wardenship or fellowship in a col- legiate church, then, and immediately, the dignity, benefice, or pre- ferment previously held by such spiritual person ( amongst those enumerated as above) shall be void. Also, if any spiritual person having one or more benefices shall accept any other benefice, the benefice or benefices previously held by him shall be void, and the patron may nominate to such void benefice. The power heretofore exercised by the Bishop of Norwich of granting personal unions to cease. Any spiritual person being in possession of one benefice, and who shall have obtained a license or dispensation for that purpose, may bold another, provided the distance between the two shall not exceed thirty statute miles. Power is given to tbe Archbishop of Canterbury to grant such license or dispensation where the joint annual value of two such benefices shall not exceed 4001., and also under certain special cir- cumstances where tbe amount exceeds that sum. No bond to be required of any spiritual person applying for such license unless thought fit by the Archbishop of Canterbury. In case of the refusal of tbe Archbishop to grant any such license or dispensation, tbe King in Council may, upon application, enjoin the Archbishop to grant it. Every such dispensation granted by the Archbishop to be void and of no effect unless confirmed by His Majesty under the Great Seal. Every such license or dispensation to contain a proviso, that the spiritual person to whom it is granted shall reside six months of the year on the most populous of the two benefices. In case of his neglecting to do so the Bishop of the diocese may use all the powers and authorities with which be is invested to compel such residence. And if, in consequence oi disobedience of the Bishop's monition, the benefice shall remain for two years under sequestration, " Or be under sequestration three times in the space of two years, such benefice shall become absolutely void, and the patron be entitled to present to it. Every license or dispensation to be registered in the Office of Faculties, and a copy to be transmitted to the Registrarof the Bishop or Bishops of the diocese or dioceses where the benefices, or either of them, are situated ; a copy to be produced to any person requiring it on payment of 3s. The value of benefices to be estimated according to the net annual income or produce, deducting stipends, taxes, rates, tenths, dues, and other permanent charges and payments ; and also the stipend paid to a stipendiary curate in the benefice not resided upon by the incum- bent, but not deducting taxes or rates for parsonage, & c., usually paid by tenants and occupiers. Previously to any application to the Archliishop of Canterbury for a license or dispensation, the applicant shall deliver to the Bi.^ hop or Bishops of tbe diocese where the benefices are respectively situated a full and true statement of all the particulars respecting them, into the truth of which each Bishop is empowered to inquire, and within a month after receiving it to send a copy to the Archbishop of Canter- bury. with a certificate as tocorrectness or incorrectness, a,- id remarks, and also a like copy or certificate to tbe Lord High Chancellor. The Archbishop may order distances between benefices to be measured. The Act not to extend to a benefice presented to before the passing of it, nor to any the next presentation to which was conveyed, granted, or devised by any deed or will made before the first day of the present Session of Parliament. All the provisions in the Act with relation to Bishops to extend to Archbishops in the respective dioceses of which they are Bishops. The word " Benefice'' to be understood to comprehend all rectories with cure of souls, vicarages, donations, perpetual curacies, whether augmented by Queen Ann's bounty or not, and parochial chapelries, whether such curacies or chapelries have cure of souls or not. Donations and peculiars, except peculiars of an Archbishop or Bishop, to be considered as belonging to the diocese in which they are locally situated. The Act to extend only to England and Wales. ARLINGTON AND THE CONTRAST. — The extreme curiosity and eagerness ofthe public to obtain these two new novels of Lord Mul- grave and Mr. Lister, which have accidentally appeared almost at the same moment, remind us of a similar feeling which was evinced some years since, on occasion of the almost simultaneous publication of Lady Caroline Lamb's Glenarvon. and Sir Walter Scott's Anti qii'try, when the booksellers and the public libraries were beset with applications which they had no means ol sufficiently ' satisfying. EARL OF THANET.— This Nobleman expired at his seat, Aoath- field- place, in this county, on Friday last. He had an attack of apoplexy, while attending Divine Service at Hoatbfield Church, and soon after he reached his mansion he breathed his last. The Noble Lord was in the 62d year of his age, and succeeded his brother, Sackville, in 1825. The title descends to the Hon. Henry Tulton, the next brother of tbe d^ cased, who has resided for some years in France. The late Earl was never married. He had been, for some months past, in a feeble state of health ; and, not being able to undergo tbe fatigue of a journey to Loudon, be transmitted his proxy to Earl Grey, in favour of the second reading of the Reform Bill.— Maidstone Gazette. THE BititisH FARMERS' MAGAZINE, No. XXIII, price 4s.— We present our readers with the following List of the Contents of the Number of this valuable and interesting quarterly publication which is to appear on tbe first of May. Tire high character which the work holds in the opinion of the public, calls on its conductors to make the shew of strength tbe bill of fare proclaims; and we have no doubt tbe several articles will be treated with its accustomed ability:— I. A fine Portrait and Description of a Short- horned Heifer, bred by J. Whitaker, Esq. of Greenholme, Otley, Yorksh.— II. Aiton, on Per- petual Pasture. or Old Turf.— III. Gray's Replies to Statistical Queries.— IV. A Lancashire Farmer on Cottage Gardens.— V. Mr. Formby on the Economical Management of Farm- yaid Manure.— VI. Mr. Gray on the Increase of Wealth, by the Arrangements of Nature, the necessary result of the increase of population.— VII. Mr. Aiton on Fei- ding Calves for Veal.— VIII. Baron Vnn Voght on Agri- culture.— IX. Statistical Sketch of the Corn Trade of Canada, & c.— X. Mr. Hillyard's Proposal for Commutation of Tithes.— XI. T. H. on Incendiarism on Farm Produce.— XII. Reviews.— XIII. Quarter- ly Reports for England, Scotland, & e. We should like to see the work attainable by every member of the agricultural community, however humble, accompanied by a desire on their parts to peruse it. This would be the certain way of expediting the adoption of im- provements which appear, tending to diminish both labour and ex- pence, as well- as to double production. WHIRLWIND.— About ten o'clock on the morning of Good Friday, an extraordinary gust of wind took off'the cap. the shaft, and break- wheel, and four sails of a smock windmill, breaking an iron bolt, two inches square.; and, notwithstanding the weight of all these parts, they were carried a distance of twenty- eight feet from tbe mill. One of the sails penetrated the ground eighteen inches. Mr. Cheverton, the owner, was in the mill granary at the time, but providentially escaped injury, although the mill was so much agitated as to be actually removed bodily an inch and a half upon the brick foundation. At the Hall farm and at Little Newark's the buildings were shaken ; and a person on horseback had great difficulty to keep bis seat, ex- pecting for a short time that the animal and himself would have been lifted from the ground. The noise which accompanied the wind was truly alarming.— Essex Herald. SulciDE IN A POLICE OFFICE.— Thursday an inquest was held at the Hat and Tun, Saffron- hill, on the body of a young man, named Harrison. He was a man of respectable appearance, and bad been frequently held to bail for indecent assaults. At Hatton Garden, on Wednesday, in default of putting in bail on a similar charge, he was locked up in a cell at the back of the office. In an hour afterwards the gaoler went in, and found him suspended by a handkerchief from an iron bar affixed to the ceiling to prevent any person breaking through. He was quite dead, and the surgeon said lie must have been 80 at ieasthalf an hour. There were no papers on him to lead to a discovery of his friends. Verdict—" Temporary ineuijity.'' SMUGGLING. ANOTHER SUBTERRANEOUS PASSAGE.— On VVednesday evening last Lieut. Clene, R. N., of Pegwell Battery, and a party of Coast Guard from that station, together with several men from a revenue cutter and a Riding Guard from Margate, proceeded to a detached cottage, occupied by Robert Spain, situate at Little Cliff's End. about a mile and a half to the westward of Ramsgate. On Lieut. Clene demand- ing admittance, he was replied to from within that Spain was at the Sportsman ( beer- house), and the door was refused to be opened.— The officer and the men under his command then made a search, and found in the garden 22 tubs of contraband spirits. On the signal firing of the Coast Guard, the smugglers ( who were working up the tubs) were observed making their escape from an opening in the cliff'; a further search was made at this spot, when it was discovered to be a secret entrance from Spain's garden to a subterraneous pas- sage cut through the cliff to the sea shore, at the extremity of which there was a large hole, sufficiently capacious to admit, from another secret entrance on the shore side, of the concealment of an immense quantity of goods, and at this spot 26 more tubs were found, and also the truck used for drawing up the goods to the house, the passage to which was so extremely small that it was with difficulty the Coast Guard could force themselves down on their hands and knees the whole distance, it being in many places not more than a foot wide,, two feet in height, and its length several hundred yards. It is said to have been but recently finished, after occupying the time of four men nearly two years. The Coast Guard remained on the spot until five o'clock, A. M., when the door of Spain's house was opened, and three men found therein. They were taken into custody, and gave their names Henry Bristow, John Solly, and John Baker. They were examined before the Rev. Richard Harvey, at the Town Hall, Ramsgate, when, after hearing the evidence of Lieut. Clene, they were remanded for a further examination, and in the mean time were ordered to be detained in custody on. board a revenue cutter at pre- sent lying in Ramsgate harbour. The same officer seized from a place of concealment, in a chalk pit near the above premises, 22 tubs ; and there is no doubt both seizures proceeded from the same source of information, which has caused great consternation amongst the fraternity engaged in this illicit and Hazardous traffic. The system has worked so well of late that the suspicions of the officers of the Customs have been for some time past awakened to the circumstance of the existence of some important dep6t from the running and con- cealment of contraband goods in the neighbourhood. At tbe exa- mination of the above men on Monday they denied being concerned itr the transaction, and in defence of their being at Spain's house on the night in question, said they went there to purchase rabbits. The following morceau is copied verbatim et literatim from a notice on a board near the spot where the. seizure took nlace :— Howsome ever shouts these rabbits Ear, will he persecuted." Mr. Gait's new tale entitled Stanley Buxton, has been pronounced to be equal to, in its humourous illustration of Scotch character, to his Annals of the Parish and Ayrshire Legatees. The incidents, however, which characterize Stanley Buxton take a wider range than the former works of the author, and develope the history of a young man, educated as a Peer of England, but thrown by a singular train of circumstances on his wits for subsistence. London is the chief scene of the story, and the reader is made acquainted with tbe trials and sufferings through which a person must go who, without friends, has to seek his fortune in the metropolis. The peculiar genius of Mr. Galt harmonizes admirably with the stern reality of the subject. Friday morning, about half past twelve, a respectably- dressed elderly gentleman jumped from the steps of Waterloo Bridge, leading to the Commercial road. The fall is tremendous. He was taken up almost lifeless, and carried to the Feathers Inn, Waterloo- road, where he died shortly after. AFFAIR OF HONOUR.— An affair of honour took place on Monday, on one of the hills betvveen Romsey and Salisbury, between a gentle- man who was formerly a resident in the neighbourhood of Southamp- ton, and a gentleman residing in tbe lower p; rt of Wilts. The latter had the first fire, and wounded bis adversary in the thick part of the upper joint of the left arm, the ball passing through. The ball of the former took effect in the thigh. They are both doing well. The meeting arose out of some trivial dispute respecting a mutual friend.. — Salisbury Guardian. TALES OFTHE EARLY AGES.— The first five centuries of the Chris- tian iEra have in these Tales been taken by Mr. Horace Smith for historical and romantic illustration. The first story introduces us to the Emperor Nero and the historian Josepbus, and hasforits heroine a Jewish maiden Mariamtfe, a fitting companion to Sir Walter Scott's Rebecca; in the second we have the presence of the philosophic fabulist, . Esop, and of Lucien, the satirist; in the third tale, the scene is shifted to the forests, fells, and morasses of Northern Ger- many, and a singular dwarf is among the prominent characters; the fourth discourses eloquently of Athanasius, the Arians, and the Council of Nice, and places before us the gorgeous city of Memphis and the Pyramids ; and the filth tale, which relates to the period of twenty years after the Roman secession from Britain, has for its locale tbe coast of Kent, and among its various incidents an incursion by the Picts, and the invasion by the Saxons under Hengist and Horsa. MONEY LETTERS.— The following information may be of service to persons who have occasion to remit money by post. Many persons nave had money stolen from letters sent by the General Post; and some persons have been lately tried for this offence. However, there is little doubt that money would be less frequently stolen from letters if the following arrangements of the General Post Office were better known to the public. If Bank notes be sent in a letter, that letter is not taken any extra care of by the Post Office, nor is a letter con- taining cash, if it be merely dropped into the letter- box; but if a letter containing cash, either gold or silver ( for notes will not do), be given into the bands of the Postmaster, marked " money letter," he will put it into the bag in a separate envelop, and make a special entry of it on his way bill, which entry will be repeated at every Post Office it passes through ; and the first thing done by the Post Office clerks, on a bag arriving, is to see that the money letters are all right; and they, if all he not right, will give immediate informa- tion, and an inquiry is commenced, even before the intended receiver of tbe letter could know whether bis letter would arrive in due course or not. Many commercial travellers, aware of tbe additional care taken of " money letters," send every remittance to their employers in a letter having a sixpence put into ihe notes or bills, to make it a money letter, and having marked it as such, they give it to the Post- master as before mentioned. Memoires et Romances d'/ Jortense Beauharnois. Daughter of the Empress Josephine, and Ex- Queen of Holland.— A curiosity in lite- rature has just appeared, a little work, of which the writing, the music, and the pictorial designs, are all by the same person, anil that person a Royal Lady. The Ex- Queen of Holland, now known by the title of the Duchess ot St. Leu, is the poet, musician, and painter, to whom we allude. The intellectual merits of the work are not of the highest kind, but the most careless will discover in it grace, fancy, taste, and benevolent sentiment— all the characteristics of an accomplished and amiable female. The book is such as migbt be ex- pected from tbe daughter of tbe most pleasing woman, arid the sister of the most gallant cavalier of the age ( Prince Eugene). Even their Bourbon enemies acknowledge tbe graceful and winning qualities, both personal and moral, of Josephine, the high spirit and gentle bearing of Eugene, whom Louis XVlIl. called the modern Bayard,, the Knight without fear and without reproach. Hortense Beauhar- nois is not unworthy of such a stock; she exhibits all the amiable- graces of the mother— all the chivalrous ardourof the brother. Times. THE COAL- OWNERS AND THE PITMEN.— The differences between the coal- owners and their servants, we regret to state, still exist. Since we enumerated tbe collieries at. which the men have been bound, only one, that at Killingworth, has been added to the list, There are yet from eight to nine thousand men remaining unemployed. We last week had to announce, ns a consequence ot so large a body of men continuing in a state of idleness, an outrage committed by a part of them at South Shields Colliery, by which the owners suffered in their property a loss of not less than 12001. We have now to notice a still more atrocious proceeding— A bound pitman, who did. not belong to tbe union, was shot on Saturday night last at Hetton,. by some of the unbound men. The pitmen were under obligation by their bonds to quit the houses they occupied on Thursday the 19th of April. Not having fulfilled this part of their agreement, about 20 families were ejected by a body of London police officers on Satur- day. To this no resistance was offered. In the course of tbe even- ing the men assembled to a considerable number in front of the cot- tages thus vacated ; large fires were kindled, and guns and pistols were discharged at. intervals. Between 11 and 12 o'clock John Errington, a bound pitman, who lived at one end of the bouses, in passing from his own door to the cottage of two other bound men,, was fired at by one of tbe unbound men, but without effect. In returning he was again shot at by some person in the crowd, and; killed.— Mercury. April 29. JOHN BULL. 139 THE REFORM BILL. An examination of the Returns of the Population of England, as compared with the plan of representation under the Reform Bill, exhibits some striking instances of the gross inconsistency of the new system which has been introduced in order to correct the inconsis- tencies of the old one. In the first place, one- third a f the population of England, inhabitants of towns, will return two thirds of the whole English Members. The whole population of England is 13,070,000. The population of the English boroughs is 4.305,000. The whole number of English Repre- sentatives is 403; and of these the population of the boroughs return 311, leaving only 141 Members to be returned by the county popula- tion, which is two- thirds of the whole. Such is the case, even supposing that the county population were able, independently of the population of the towns, to choose the county Members. But ( to use the language ol the Duke of Welling- ton's admirable Protest) " the landed interest, notwithstanding the professed intention of giving to it an increase of representation com- mensurate with that given to the great towns, is left exposed, even in the elections for counties, to the influence of the trading and manufac turing classes of the very places which are themselues to return Members to Parliament ; an influence so great as must leave, in many instances, the representation of counties in the power of voters from the towns." Next, the distribution of the county representation is grossly unequal. We find eight counties, the population of which, taken together, is double that of eight other counties. Yet the one set of counties is to return the same number of Members as the other set. This appears from the following two lists; in which the population of each county is, of course, stated exclusive of the boroughs which it contains. Each of these countjes is to return four Members :— Devon 366.000 Kent 350.000 Surrey 197,000 Somerset 200.000 Norfolk 300.000 Stafford 270.000 Gloucester 287,000 • Chester 250,000 Derby 214.000 Nottingham 145,000 Salop 174.000 Northumberland 147.000 Worcester 143.000 Leicester 157,000 Northampton 159.000 Cumberland 129,000 2,220,000 1,268,000 The proportion, too, which the number of voters, under the new system, bears to the whole population of England, is well worthy of notice. The whole population, as we have already said, is 13,070.000; the number of voters will be about 866,000, which is fully one- fourth qf the entire male adult population of England. By the present democratic Constitution of France, in a population of thirty millions, there are only 220,000 electors. From our reform to universal suffrage is but a step. t; Ce n'est qui le premier pas qui coute ;" the first step being once taken, there will be little hesitation about the second ; and that the Radicals well know. Hence their support of a measure, of which, at the same time, and of its authors, they do not think it worth while to conceal their scorn.— Western Luminary. OUTRAGES IN' IHKI- ANP. HORRID MURDER.— A murder of the most atrocious character very recently took place at Cartown, in this county. A mail named Foster being, under some fictitious pretence, inveigled Irom his home on the night of the 11th inst., and not having returned, nor anything heard of him until Wednesday last, when, in consequence of a gene- ral search, the body was discovered interred in a potato field, belong- ing to a farmer named Jeremiah Dooley, residing on the lands of Cartown. The body exhibited the most appalling sight, appearing like a mass ot clotted blood; the skull completely smashed in with some blunt instrument. An Inquest was held on Thursday before John Kelly, Esq.. Coroner, in the presence of Lieutehant- Colonel O'Donoghue, Resident Magistrate, and W. Weliesley Despard, Esq. when a verdict of " Wilful Murder" was found against Jeremiah Dooley, who, unfortunately for the ends of justice, absconded on hearing that Foster's body had been found. The wretched culprit was in comfortable circumstances, and hitherto bore a good character. A few days since about twelve o'clock at noon, a party of armed men entered the lands of Mr. John Dunne, at Rahoonahole, in this county, and conducted all his men as prisoners to Mr. Dunne's dwelling- house. On entering they met Mrs Dunne, and asked her why she relused to give her men good diet and a shilling a day t Mrs. Dunne replied she treated her men well, but added she would not allow her husband to pay more than was usual in the neighbourhood. One of the legislators then swore he would blow her brains out if she so explained herself, and departed with his confederates, cautioning her, on pain of death, to pay the price laid out by him, and to give the men '" best of diet." On Wednesday night, about seven o'clock, five armed men attacked the house of Denis Donoghue, of Clonadd, about two miles from this town, and having obtained admittance, they beat him in a most brutal manner with a loaded butt, with which they fractured his skull; he also received two bayonet wounds in the back of the head. Donoghue now lies in the County Infirmary, with very slight hopes of his recovery. Immediately alter the above outrage, information being received, a large party of military and police proceeded to Clonadd, where they succeeded in apprehending four persons. On Tuesday night the house of John Dunne, at Morett, was attacked by four men, who having called him out of his bed, they put him on his knees, and asked hfm if he knew any of the party ? on replying in the negative, one of them gave him two large cuts on the head with the bar of a gate; and they observed that he might " know himself." He lies in the County Infirmary. Portarlington, and the surroundingneighbourhood, hitherto a very peaceable district, has recently become a scene of disturbance. Rockite notices are nightly posted, threatening any person in any- wise incurring the displeasure of the Whitefeet. Richard Warburton, of Garryhinch, in this county, Esq., has re- ceived a notice threatening him with death if he, as a Magistrate or otherwise, interfere with or take any part in the collection of church cess, in the parish of Cloneburke, of which bis son, John Warburton, Esq., is one of the wardens.— Lei aster Express, Saturday. Wednesday morning Mr. Smith, hosier, of No. 2, Burlington Arcade, was found suspended to the gas- pipe in the area of his resi- dence. Assistance was promptly procured, but without avail. He had been out spending the evening, and returned home, apparently quite sober, about one in the morning, when he went to the bed- room of his sister, and bidding her good night, he took a rope from the room. It was supposed he had retired to rest, but it seems he had proceeded down stairs, and committed suicide by hanging him- self as described. Deceased was a single man. CIGARRING AND SPARRING.— On Sunday, Mr. H. a Londoner, who is well known to our glove manufacturers, started for London by the Worcester Mail. Alter proceeding some miles on the journey, he commenced smoking a cigar, to the extreme annoyance of the other passengers, who contented themselves with remonstrances. But at Chipping Norton a gentleman of a less pacific temperament got into the coach ; coming out of the fresh air, he found the annoy- ance of the cigar much greater than it was to those who bad become accustomed to it. His remonstrances being treated with contempt, he " took the law into his own hands," and commenced an attack on the smoker; the result was a regular set to; but right and might went together for once, and the offending party received so sound a drubbing, and came out of the fray with such obvious marks of punishment, that we venture to say he will not again relish a cigar inside a coach. At Oxford he retreated to the Gloucester Mail, not liking the company of the " gunpowder fellow" who had taught him good manners.— IVorcester Journal. ATTEMPTED MURDER.— On Wednesday last. James Parkinson, servant to Mr. John Furniss, manufacturer, Preston, was fired at while crossing Clifton Marsh, by a ruffian as yet unknown, at a dis- tance of not more than ten or twelve yards ; heimmediately felt him- self struck, though luckily not wounded by thesmall shot with which the piece was charged, some of which lodged in his clothes between his shoulders, He obtained a momentary glance of his assailant, who ran off' as soon as he found that his intended victim was not brought to the ground. The weapon fired was a short gun, and it is probable, from its proximity, that but for the weakness of the charge, the shot would have taken fatal eflect. Parkinson had some money on his person, and as no cause of enmity towards him can be assigned, the conjecture is. that the villain fired at him in the hope of dis- abling or killing him, and then robbing him. A somewhat novel case latelycame before the bench of magistrates at Aylesbury. The'occupier of a pasture left it at Michaelmas, and it remained without a tenant until Lady- day. The question was, who was to pay the poor- rates upon itforthe time it was unoccupied. Mr. Tindal considered the land liable; if not, persons might shut up their pastures during the winter and evade the rates. A gentle- man present said, if that was legal, he would shut up his pasture land at Michaelmas, and let it at Lady- day. It was ultimately agreed that a case should be drawn up and submitted to a barrister.— Essex Herald. OUTRAGE AT HUDDERSFIELD.— During the greater part of Monday Mr. Russum's splendid balloon ( which was announced to ascend from the market- place at three o'clock) was undergoing the process of inflation near the shambles in King- street; but the gas- pipe was not large enough to supply gas sufficient to fill the balloon in a moderate period of time, and the balloon was not brought to the market- place till half- past five, and then it was only two- thirds filled. An immense mass of people assembled in a few minutes, so that it was found im- possible to keep a clear space round the balloon, though the consta- bles, assisted by Mr. Wigney and his men, did their utmost to obtain order, but the crowd was too dense and too obstinately bent upon mischief to be awed or kept in order by ten or a dozen individuals. After a scene of contention for above an hour, ten of the most riotous of the crowd were captured and taken to Towzer: others were also seized, but were rescued by their fellows. During this affray all attempts made by the aeronaut and his brother to prepare the balloon for ascent were impeded by the mob, and it became evident that their intentions were decidedly hostile. About this time Mr. Russum went round collecting at the different houses with a box, and left his balloon in the care of his brother, and it was carried from the middle of the market- place to the corner at the top of Kirkgate, when some persons cut it and opened the valve; the consequences of which were that in a minute it was lying in- a collapsed state in a heap in the street, surrounded by ttrose who had mutilated it, and who now completely demolished the car. Mr. R„ who arrived at this moment, was hustled about and thrown upon the balloon, and his cap was stolen from his head and flung amongst the crowd, and it was only by flight that he escaped further injury. The balloon was then taken up and carried to Mr. Wigney's premises, but we understand that it cannot be repaired again so as to make it safe to ascend in. None of the persons who destroyed it were taken into custody. There i6 no doubt that the reason of this hostility to the aeronaut and his balloon was, that the working classes had imbibed an idea that the balloon ascent was a Whig trick to divert the people's attention from going to York, and accordingly they determined to prevent the ascent.— Leeds Intelligencer. Priscilla Woodford, the girl who was condemned to be hanged at the late assizes at Lincoln, for arson, but who was afterwards reprieved, has been playing pranks which, perhaps, may have a claim to originality, and certainly shew her to be what she really is, an artful young jade. After her condemnation, she was confined in an apartment with a woman who was convicted of perjury, and who, it is supposed, must have instilled in the girl a notion, that if she had been pregnant she would have escaped the execution of her sentence. However, she told the Chaplain, and others who were in attendance on her, that she was '- in the family way," and certainly was borne out in her statement by her personal appearance, until the matron discovered that she had stuffed the articles of her dress in such away as to indicate pregnancy in a very precise manner.— Boston Gazette. SHAKSPERIAN FESTIVAL.— The Anniversary of the birth of the iin mortal bard was again celebrated on Monday at the Shakspeare Hall. Stratford on- Avon, with the accustomed honours, but there was no particular procession. The Mayor presided at the banquet, which was in every way worthy of the occasion. At five o'clock the Hall was nearly filled. The place of assembly was most tastefully deco rated, and illuminated with lamps, festoons of flowers, laurel, and evergreens. At the upper end of the room, over the full- length por- trait of Shakspeare, was a piece of drapery with the words " We shall ne'er look upon his like again ;" and directly opposite, over the cele- brated painting of Garrick ( by Gainsborough), was a large scroll, on which were inscribed the words 14 He suited the action to the word." Around the walls of the Hall were displayed numerous banners, bearing the titles of Shakspeare's plays, together with various alle- gorical transparencies and emblematical and appropriate devices. Among other toasts, the memory of Shakspeare was drunk in reve- rential silence, as was also that of Cervantes, who died on the same day ( but one year later) as Shakspeare. The hilarity of the evening was uninterrupted. The next Triennial Festival, which it is intended shall last four days, will be on the grandest scale. On Thursday last a distressing accident occurred at Maidstone, which caused the death of the infant of Mr. R. Wedd, surgeon. The servant was carrying the child in the garden, when a little girl she was leading took hold of a rake that had been incautiously hung up on a tree, and one of the teeth entered the skull of the infant, and caused death soon afterwards."— Kentish Gazette. The report respecting the stealing of diamonds to a large amount at the shop of Mr. Isaacs, in Holywell- street, is incorrect, lor it ap- pears, fortunately for Mr. Isaacs, that the fellow did not succeed in totally blinding him by throwing the snuft in his eyes, but that suffi- cient sight remained to enable Mr. Isaacs to struggle with the ruffian, in the course of which the packet of brilliants, worth about 3001. was dropped, besides two brilliants which were found on the mat, after the man had effected his escape, which it is supposed were those pro- duced by him to be matched. It appears that the shop- door was opened by another man, supposed to be an accomplice. The plan appears to have been deeply laid, and precautions taken for every emergency. BANEFUL EFFECTS OF PASSION.— A youth, named Musket, and a person, whose name was Deal, were regaling themselves about three weeks since at the Hog in the Pound public- house, in Oxford- street, when some angry discussion took place, and Musket, who was at the lime engaged in eating his supper, threatened that if the other touched him he would stab him with a knife with which he was cutting his bread. His opponent, little contemplating how soon the execution would follow the menace, immediately struck or pu6hed him, when Musket made a blow at him with the knife, and unfor- tunately inflicted a severe wound in his companion's body. The bleeding man was conveyed to St. George's Hospital, and on the prisoner Musket being placed at the bar of Marlborough- street Office, a surgeon's certificate was produced, from which it appeared that the wounded individual was considered in imminent danger. The Prisoner was accordingly remanded. He left the bar attended by the commiseration of all present. His countenance was a com- plete index of the remorse which preyed upon his very existence. On returning into the air he became giddy, and, having whirled round with weakness and agitation, fell into the hands of a police- constable who was near him. He was conveyed to the Infirmary, and there, after a most protracted suffering in body and mind, ex- pired on Monday last. The wounded man is 6lowly recovering. THE REWARD OF CURIOSITY.— Many days have not elapsed since the following occurrence created some laughter in Canterbury. A Ramsgate waggon was standing opposite the door of an extensive grocer, the mechanical construction of which attracted the notice of a foot passenger: first he minutely examined the panelling of it; then applied his fingers to the rays, and surveyed the periphery of the wheels and the massy tire which surrounded them ; the delight he experienced insensibly deprived him of caution, and he was peer- ing about to scrutinize the bed of the vehicle, by poking bis head between the fore and hind wheels, and looking upwards as he would throw his head in the direction of the zenith, when, Cerberus- like, a huge dog seized his nether garment, and shook him violently, inso- much that but for the appearance of the waggoner, he would probably have been severely injured by his unseen assailant; fortunately, however, the damage was trifling. Some very high words took place, and the law applied to, but the dispute ( we don't know whether the laughter has subsided yet) is being arranged. The bite mark still remains.— Kentish Chronicle. SUICIDE.— An inquest was held on Thursday at the Duke of York, Arlington- street, Vauxhall- road, on the body of Mr. Eden Green, aged 29. The deceased was occasional clerk in the service of Mr. Liddell, chemist, of 14, Grosvenor- street West, Pimlico. He was respectably connected, and formerly lived as page in the service of Lady Caroline Lamb, Lord Duncannon, and other families of distinc- tion. His faculties were, however, much impaired by drinking, and his wife and family were reduced to great distress. On Wednesday lie sent his little girl for two ounces of laudanum, and, after kissing his wife affectionately, he went into a back room and swallowed the poison. Surgical assistance was soon called in, but he died in six hours. He bad been disappointed in not receiving an expected remittance fipm the country, and to this the rash act is ascribed.— Verdict—" Insanity." INDIAN COAL.— An examination of several varieties of Indian coal was laid before the Asiatic Society of Calcutta at their meeting on the 8th of June. The coals of this country differ principally from those oi Europe in the quantity ofearthern asli which they leave behind on burning, and which in the best English pit coal does not exceed one or two per cent. The Chinese coa! contains very litfle valuable matter, and consequently burns slowly and without flame; it is therefore unfit for steam engines, but it seems well adapted for pur- pose! to which coke would be applied. l'MILOSOPHICAL INSTRTJMES I S.

BURGESS'S ESSENCE OF ANCHOVIES. Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London. JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the Original, to observe the Name and Address correspond wi'li the above. The general appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and for their detection, J. B. and Son submit the following Cautions : some are in appearance at first sight " The Ge- nuine," but without any name or address— some " Burgess's Essence of An- chovies"— others " Burgess," and many more without address. JOHN BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such distinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect toward the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recommended as a moat useful and convenient Sauce— will keep good in all elimates.

B. who nddressed a note to us on the 31$/ of March* relative to a report of the debate on the Malt drawback question. which took place on the 30 th of that mouth. By some unaccountable accidents the note containing his explanatory letter was not opened by us until yesterday— Of course the interest of the subject has passed ; but we could not permit the matter to rest without making this explanation. In reply to Ignotus we have only to regret that our invariable rule has been applied to his communication, which prevents the possibility of cur returning it— every letter addressed to BULL, and not used, is im- mediately destroyed. Private feelings prevent our publishing the letter signed " Deco- Tum.>' fVe were equally sorry with our correspondent to see the announcement. but not quite so angry. fVe quite agree in thinking that it would have been infinitely more respectable to have left such a course alone. The letter of " Perambulator" does not disprove our statements or weaken our anticipations with respect to the Zoological Gardens— the jjublic house advertisement which he encloses is only a proof of the remissness of the Committee, or Council, or whatever they are called, in admitting members in the first instance. fVe again ask, if the restriction were removed, what difference would there be in a week betvieen this place a> id Bagnigge / Veils, or fVhite Conduit House, or any other open public garden. The1" MERCHANT'* who wrote such trash as the extract from his letter to his agent at Kingston, Jamaica* contains, must be a block- head of the first mater. Our politics are as diametrically opposed to those of the Noble Earl whom he vituperates as his can be. and the appointment, as affecting the system. is by no means agreeable to us ; but to deny talent and ability where they exist, or to make the pos- session of lighter accomplishments the ground for a belief of the non- existence of more extensive powers, is at once stupid and malignant. - Are the powers © /" SHERIDAN'S genius impugned because he wrote the farce of the CAMP ? or did anybody attempt io cry down CANNING, be- cause he was the author of the ROVERS ? The poem to which our correspondent refers in his letter has but one fault— it is too long for a newspaper. JVe should advise him to pub- lish it, in the same shape as those were published which it professes io ~ follow. A MONDAY EDITION ( for the Country) is published at Three © ' Clock in the afternoon, containing the Markets and Latest News. JOHN B U H IT, LONDON, APRIL 29. THF. IR MAJESTIES are still at Windsor. The Princess LOUISE is stated to be somewhat better. On Friday the KING and QUEEN it is said will honour Greenwich Hospital with a visit by water, on which day the KING will visit the new frigate Vernon, which is to be launched early in the week. Their MAJESTIES honour his Grace the Duke of WEL- XINGTON with their company at a ball at Apsley House, on the 2Sth of next month, being the day appointed for the ce- lebration of the KING'S birth- day. As we last week foretold, the Radical press has been hard at work getting up excitement— in every corner of the Revolu- tionary and Ministerial papers we find paragraphs, letters, statements and observations, all tending to exhibit and dis- play the violent enthusiasm of the PEOPLE about REFORM. Where else do we see it?— Who cares about it? And while we ask these questions we very sincerely believe, that those who are supposed to be most interested in the success of the Reform Bill, are in fact the most desirous to get rid of it. Lord GREY is a wretched, broken- hearted man— he sees the pit yawning, into which his fame and reputation as a Minister must shortly fall— he sees, too late, the precipice which we, humble as we are, and short- sighted as we may be, beheld months ago— he has committed himself to the Revolutionists, and as it is impossible for him to fulfil the pro- mises and protestations he has made, he will become— in- deed he nearly has— instead of their idol, the object of their execration and contempt,— this he knows and feels. The KING, on the other hand, has done all that Lord GREY could expect— he has supported Lord GREY as Mo- narch never yet supported Minister— politically and per- sonally; Ministers have been in Parliamentary minorities— they have failed in every attempt at legislation which they lave made; look at their diplomacy— turn to Holland and Belgium— cast your eyes over Portugal— think of their government— colonies either smoking in ruins, or again on the brink of fresh rebellion— see Ireland— look at the Reve- nue— Trade— Commerce— every thing declares their doltish incapacity: yet, up to the period of the Bill getting into Committee, the KING, true to his Royal word—( which he never broke, except when forced to do so by Lord GREY)— has maintained and upheld them— hating them personally— because he said he would. That ends— the line is drawn— the KING knows how far to carry his consideration for his servants, and he appreciates their exertions; he does not, however, forget, that when the conceding, popular Louis XVI. gave up, and gave up, till he suffered on the scaffold, the present Earl GREY was the only Member of Parliament who appeared out of mourniug in the House of Commons— this everybody recollects; and having completely redeemed his pledge to the Administration, His MAJESTY will now leave Lord GREY to arrange his Bill as he can. Lord GREY is ready to concede, and concede, and con- cede ; he originally offered Lord HARROWBY and Lord WHARNCLIFFE, in November last, to give up the metropo- litan Members— to give up schedule B— and, if not to encrease the 101. qualification, at least to " weight it so hea- vily that it would not run"—( his figure was used to suit Lord WHARNCLIFFE'S taste and genius— all this, Lord GREY is ready to do now, but that is not all, he must give tip a great deal more; he has got Lord HARROWBY and Xiord WHARNCLIFFE, and he has got, moreover, Lord COVENTRY and Lord de Roos— happily joined to their two Lordships, his Lordship has also gotten the Bishop ofLoNDON •— but this will not do, nor does Lord GREY mean it to do. lord GREY is as heartily sick of the Reform Question as any man in England, and the end of it will be, that when the KING finally declares his resolution not to make Peers, not to endanger himself, nor to risque the violation of his Coro- nation Oath, Lord GREY will throw himself upon the people, endeavour to shift the unpopularity upon his kind and good- natured master, and give up office and the impracticable scheme which he has been juggling the people with while he held office, and retire with his extra blue ribband to Howick; and, in two years hence, be as much forgotten as he was two years ago. The labour of excitement, we say, is still going OH ; but BULL— the nation, we mean— wants more stirring up than the revolutionists think. The country is, at this moment, sensitively alive to Mr. SADLER'S Bill, the northern counties care nothing for Reform, nor its doubtful effects— its certain Ills, its uncertain benefits. Reform is, there, a dead letter; in London— we speak advisedly— it is defunct— absolutely defunct— the Ministers themselves give it up— and turn iheir backs upon the wretched LORD MAYOR— knowing, as well as we do, that in the City of London the " game is up." But it should be recollected that in the Cabinet there are two parties— one the ultra reformers— the other the mode- rate— the waverers of the Whigs— The desperadoes still hold on, and accordingly endeavour, by abuse and vituperation unequalled in the annals of history ( in which even Lord GREY himself is not spared), to keep up the spirit of revolt; and while " we are on the subject, we may as well quote from the Times— a journal the praised of Sir ROBERT PEEL and the patronized of Lord BROUGHAM— the lauded of Lord GREY, aud the contributed to of Lord DURHAM— the fol- lowing passage from a letter of Radical's, 011 Thursday last. The whole letter is much in the same style, but the following passage we extract, because it appears to us, coming as it does from a source so very nearly ministerial, as curious. The writer says— " The admonition addressed by Ear] GREY last session, if not appli- cable to the whole bench of Spiritual Loids, was most particularly so to the Bishop of EXETER,' and some more of his brethren, who, with him, have inlnled but little of the spirit of the doctrine which they preach, or of the Master whom they profess to serve. Well, indeed, may they set their house in order, lor short would lie the duration, if not supported by a greaterstrength of virtue and religion. A Ti LLOT- SON or a SECKKR weuld be welcomed by a nation, as a BATHURST is cherished, a MALTBY antln WHATELEY are respected. Another LAUD would pass into exile, for the feeling of the present age is not prone to sanguinary punishment. Another WILLIAMS, another STONE, would not be endured ; and even the modern imperative HORSLEY would not now be tolerated. Episcopal insolence, Episcopal rapacity, Epis- copal arrogance, will not only not be s> tff' red. BUT WILL BE PUNISHED. LET THE BISHOP OF EXETER SET HIS HOUSE IS ORDER." We have seen such things as this published in the Irish newspapers during the " agitation'''' reign of Lord ANGLE- SEY, as having been sent to innocent people by CAPTAIN ROCK andTEURY ALT, sometimes with a coffin sketched in the corner; but we never before read such a passage in a Ministerial journal, bearing the signature of a writer known to have access to the most confidential letters of the KING'S Prime Minister, and a constant attendaut in the anti- cham- bers of the Secretary of the Treasury. Whether this " threat" comes within tliemeaningof the 9 George I., c. 22, amended by Statute 27 George II., c. 15, we know not— but as a sanguinary denunciation, coming from such a source through the channel of a paper, the avowed organ of Government, it ought to be well and deeply pondered, as exhibiting the course which the revolutionists mean to pursue, and the measures which it behoves the con- servative party in the State to adopt, for the preservation of their lives and property. LORD HARROWBY is decidedly right in insisting upon having the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills in Committee be- fore the third reading of the English Bill— no man can object to this determination, for it would be impossible to legislate partially upon so important a question. In addition to this, we should earnestly recommend that the enfranchising clauses should take precedence of the dis- franchising ones, and we shall be very much disappointed in our expectations if Lord GREY is not found ready and willing to concede this change of arrangement. ~~ IRELAND. WE recall the attention of our readers to the state of Ire- land ;— we do so, because we have the strongest conviction that a great practical example of Whig mis- rule and Rene- gade incapacity is about to be given to the world in that unhappy country, in which the Government and the Lord Lieutenant will be seriously compromised, and their incapa- city rendered memorable by a loss of property and of life, unexampled in modern history. When we say the Government, we are aware the term is inapplicable to a state of tilings such as that which actually exists in Ireland, where there is, in fact, no Government— where the Chief Secretary dire not go to ( he scene of his official duties, because he is unpopular with the great demagogues, and cannot agree with his superior, the Lord Lieutenant— where the Cabinet and the Secretary are of one way of thinking, and the Lord Lieutenant of another— where the Government assumes a double face, one day supporting the law against the lawless, the next supporting the lawless against the law. Let any Peer or Commoner who heard ( or who has read, not in the Times, but in the Mirror of Parliament,) the vin- dication of Lord ANGLESEY'S persecution of Captain GRA- HAM, say, whether we are not justified, not only in de- nouncing the attempt at a speech on that occasion, as a miserable exposure of want of talent, but in declaring the whole speech grossly deficient in any exculpatory facts or arguments of his Excellency's own misconduct in that tran- saction, or of statesman- like views as regards Ireland. We know there is no part of Lord ANGLESEY'S conduct of which he is so proud as the imaginary settlement of the disturbances in the county of Clare ( except, indeed, the gaining of the Battle of Waterloo). But is the county of Clare settled? His Excellency boasts of the efficacy of his measures in Clare and in Galway ; but we affirm, in spite of his Excellency's theory of conciliating those who deserve the gallows.— in'spite of his Excellency's romantic expedition into those counties last year, that rebellion in the county of Clare is now breaking out again, and can only be repressed by the same means as were resorted to last year, namely, by a large military force occupying the surface as militarily as ever an enemy's country was occupied in time of war. And then, when the ordinary law is superseded by the fear of an overwhelming armed force, scattered in every village, almost in every large house, my Lord ANGLESEY turns round upon the Lord Lieutenant and 51 Magistrates of the county of Meath, and sarcastically boasts that if they will do their duty the disturbances will cease! In the present state of the Whig Press, the public may be deceived by such averments, that the disaffected have been quieted by conciliation, but every man of common observation and common sense in Ireland knows that the system of organization is becoming daily more perfect :— large bodies of men march along the roads by night, armed, officered, and even in some places with drums and fifes. The plunder of fire- arms increases— the anxiety to possess them is general— beacons on the high ground to communicate signals by night have been esta- blished, and every preparation is making and almost per- fected for rousing the Roman Catholic Population by one burst to attempt by force the entire possession of thecountry. We therefore apprehend ifthefollyof the Government in being bullied by the Lord Lieutenant against their better judg- ment, continue much longer, that the explosion cannot be delayed, and we forewarn these infatuated men, who are ready to sacrifice the peace, safety, and livesof His Majesty's subjects to their love of popularity and of place, that they ought not to lose a moment in retracing their steps. But a man of Lord ANGLESEY'S capacity will say, how? by what means, can I retrace my steps, and preserve the country from these dangers ? We answer, look to the state of your police force— to your magistrates— your gentry, and Protestant yeomen in April, 1832, and look back to what it was in April, 1830. The Police consists of five thousand of probably the finest men in the world— they were efficient, and were respected for theirefficiency, up to the period when the Reform Cry was excited and encouraeed by the Irish Government— now they are intimidated— acling with halters round their necks, skulking in the day time, anil positively hiding themselves in their fortified Barracks at night, not daring to patrole the Roads in their Districts, and so dispersed in small parties as to be utterly incapable of making head against the armed peasantry moving in bodies of 400 or 500 men, who, in utter defiance of the proximity of the police, perambulate undis- turbed counties in every direction. This police consists of the same men, but Captain GRAHAM'S fate— Serjeant KIL- FOYLE'S second trial for doing his duty— have paralyzed their former courage. Change the system, my Lord ANGLESEY, protect these men, and they will be as effective as ever. Then the Magistrates— they are equally afraid of the Government— the ruffian has been supported against the magistrate, the condemned resister to tithes has been libe- rated ; many magistrates have been forced to abscond to England, or take shelter in Cork and Dublin ; the gentry fly. or purchase a temporary safety by imitating the Lord Lieutenant, and seeking a dishonourable popularity amongst men who deserve to be gibbetted. The Protestant Yeo- men, in those counties where they are dispersed in small num- bers amongst the Catholic peasantry, feel that tliey are given up to pillage, ill- treatment, and death, aud we do not ex- aggerate when we say that, during the last twelve months, 50,000 Protestants have emigrated to America or to England. And ( his is the state of things which Lord ANGLESEY insists upon is so flourishing and so secure, that the ordinary laws are perfectly sufficient if the Lord Lieutenants aud magis- trates will do their duty ! Lord GREY'S delirium in fancying he sees a head on the stair- case, may be typical of a conscience ill at ease, haunted by the forebodings of the Times newspaper threatening im- peachment— for there is some analogy between heads and impeachments; but my Lord ANGLESEY'S delirium in fan- cying himself the conqueror of Waterloo, and the pacificator of Ireland, if it be a less glaring weakness is infinitely more dangerous, inasmuch as the amour propre of a vain man ren- ders him the blind tool of every Charlatan who will cater to his egotism. Such are the men, who, having excited the country into a plirenzy, and placed themselves at the head of the move- ment, pretend to regulate the destinies of a mighty empire ! Lord GREY has calculated better than usual— he has got over the AUSTRIAN and RUSSIAN ratifications of the Belgian Treaty before the re- assembling of Parliament. This, how- ever, will help him but little— what we predicted about bis Lordship and his Ministry" this day fortnight will prove to be true in the sequel. THE Courier of Tuesday, in an article from the Treasury, in a half- good- natured strain, attacks our article of Sunday exhibiting the real character of the enthusiasm about Reform, and the political peculiarities of the party who so warmly advo- cateit— one observation contained in it betrays its source. It concludes, however, with a metaphor, and declares that " if 41 the wind and tide even were to set against the Reformers, " they would have recourse to modern inventions, and carry " their cause by steam." This is exactly corroborating our statements— the party who are anxious to steam the Bill through, have, for the last lialf- century, been constantly endeavouring to keep the country in hot water. As usual— spite of the north- easterly winds and the cholera, the former blowing and the latter going— we have, as usual, to recount the gaieties of the inherently, religiously, morally, aud naturally gay season, Easter,— and we must say, considering all things, and that maugre the efforts of the ministerial and revolutionary Press, not one word about Reform has been heard; we never remember more gaiety, more absurdity, more pleasure, or more dissipation, than during the past few days. Easter Monday gave us a flood of amusements. The KING opened Staines Bridge,— and a very nice bridge it is, aud quite worthy of being opened by a KING. Why it has been built, we, who saw another bridge by its side in perfect re- pair, at least to look at, are not quite competent to say. It was a fine sight, and a fine day ; and the address spoken to His MAJESTY made some capital allusions to Runymede and King JOHN,— not quite so happy as the concocters of the address might think, because JOHNNY the Great was rather driven into his liberality than otherwise, and the com- parisons, very good- naturedly taken by our MONARCH, were not such as wise men would have put into such an affair.— We have no objection, however, to the KING'S opening new bridges, so as he does not make new Peers. There was a good deal of laughing aud cheering, and all that sort of thing ; but the KING walked lamely, and looked infirm. Her MAJESTY was enthusiastically received— in- deed, in the neighbourhood where the QUEEN is best known, there she must be the most beloved. The opening of the bridge was fixed for Easter Monday, in order that the KING might not be annoyed by the presence of the Radical LORD MAYOR, who, having to go to church, and afterwards receive all the world at dinner at the Mansion House, could not possibly be at Staines,— although of all places in England, except the Poultry, Staines is the place where he ought to have been, seeing that the civic jurisdic- tion of London extends to that town, and that, in fact, tha bridge and all that thereunto pertains, was connected inti- mately with Lord KEY. Lord KEY, however, did give his dinner; and such a dinner never was given. The company consisted of the Bishop of WORCESTER, who dined there because he had preached the charity sermon at Christ's Hospital and could not avoid it,— of RAM JAM HUM ROY, Lord NUGENT, and the Bishop of LONDON ; not another individual mentionable, except the Attorney- General; not a Minister— not aa Under- Secretary— not a Sheriff's wife j nobody but Lord April 29. JOHN BULL. 141 NUGENT and Dr. BLOMFIELD: not even the Bishop of LLANDAFF, the Dean of St. Paul's,— even he was absent. This was too bad ; after having led the poor LORD MAYOR into all sorts of scrapes— after having made him ridiculous by giving him a Baronetcy— after liaving committed him, and after having made him agree to the presentation of the freedom of the City in gold boxes to Lord GREY and Lord AITHORP, they leave him in the lurch, and cast upon him a public contempt, which not even WAITHMAN suffered.— Lord NUGENT had to return thanks for the Ministers; RAM JAM HUM BOY gave the KING ; and Dr. BLOMFIELD, the tag- rag Bishop of LONDON ( he has left off his bob- tail), proposed the LADY MAYORESS— Oh ! what an office for the aspirant to Canterbury. There was a dance in the evening ; but whether the Bishop condescended to a saraband, Lord NUGENT to a hornpipe, or RAM JAM HUM ROY to a nautch, we cannot say ; we are happy to know that the Bishop got quite safe home to St James's- square, without the least accident to his precious person by any of the recreant inhabitants of St. Anne's, Soho, There was, as usual, a hunt at Epping, in which the great peculiarity was the circumstance of the dogs hunting, not the stag, but the Cocknies, who were between them and the deer, hunting the poor animal themselves.— Never do we hear of Epping Hunts but we bethink ourselves of MATHEWS'S song, and the man who had the horse with the sham tail, the projected stuffing of a chair- bottom. Many such might have been seen on Monday. Gentlemen without horses, and horses without genllemen, seemed to be the order of the day; and the result was that the stag having beaten all the dogs and all the horses, trotted off at the rate of about six miles an hour into the forest, where it has lived for some years, and may during the term of its natural life, unless better horses anil horsemen and dogs are produced in array against it than those which appeared on Monday. The theatres— major and minor, made a great struggle for patronage. At Drnry- Lane one of the most stupid, we might almost say disgusting, spectacles ever represented was pro- duced ; the fun of which consisted in Mr. HARLEY'S nose growing very large and long. It is melancholy to see an actor of talent like BARLEY placed in the situation of the lowest class of drolls at Bartholomew Fair— still more melan- choly is it to find such abominable nonsense produced at theatres which are justly maintaining, as far as vested rights go, their superiority over the minor places of amusement. STANFIELD'S inagic pencil produced two new scenes ; but the decorations and dresses were old, the actors imperfect, the dialogue vapid, and the effect— a failure. Covent- Garden, after that powerfully written and power- fully acted play, the " HUNCHBACK," produced a spectacle called the " Tartar Witch and the Pedlar Boy," in which there is an agreeable mixture of the splendour expected at Easter and the fun so desirable at Christmas. KEELEY, a giant in talent, though not much of a giant in figure, gave the latter all its full force; the brilliancy of decoration, with the effects produced by the supposed enchantment, will render the piece highly popular: and if any thing can be wanting to " backup" the attractions of Mr. KNOWLES'S play, will make up the evenings during the next fortnight much to the satisfaction of the public and to the consolation of the actors. ASTLEY'S— newly decorated and embellished, presented us with Chevy Chace— not, as the veteran song- writer MOR- RIS has it, " to a dismal psalm tune," but in a gay and brilliant drama. It is extremely well got up. We cannot say so much in favour of the gentlemen equestrians in the ring— their frills, and jackets, and sashes, and all the usual paraphernalia, were much as usual— and the steady old horses upon which they jump and bump stood as quietly as ever; but we missed DUCROW himself— a ma- nager should always be foremost in the field. Prince PICKLE and MUSTARD pronounces him a delightful person, and tells us that he carried his delight so far as to take the two Miss CLARK is ( Lady MORGAN'S nieces), to see him, and, as his Highness says in his book, " the little one" was quite in an ecstacy with him. He really ought to shew, and do some of his surprising stretches, because nobody else can. The Surrey has Mr. JOHN REEVE this season— A lucky card to play with. We should venture to observe, that the Wreck Ashore, without Mrs. YATES, is a wreck indeed. The beadle is, as usual, inimitable ; but it seems extremely unwise to institute comparisons in other parts of this piece, so peculiarly belonging to the Adelphi. At the Coburg a nonsensical thing, called the War in France, in which a stupid attempt to rake up BUONAPARTE as a fine creature— A Tableau— worn out now by being hawked about in every barn and guingette from Paddington to Bow-— of the " great animal" at Austerlitz, was a com- plete botch, and met with precisely the reception it deserved. The New Strand Theatre was well attended, and at what is called the Queen's Theatre in Tottenham- street, they acted the regular drama, Jane Shore, the consequence of which was, that there were about fifty people in the house, forty- seveu of whom must have been admitted " free gratis fornoihing." Nothing could be worse than the execution of the attempt against monopoly— such a Jane Shore has seldom been seen— such an Alicia, we trust, will never be seen again. Mr. GREEN went up in a balloon from the Mermaid at Hackney on Tuesday— there were rowing matches on the river— the fair at Greenwich was fully attended, and, in short, as much gaiety as usual was displayed ia this distracted and distressed city and its environs as we ever remember to have witnessed. " Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has sent by Mr. PLACE 101. to Mr. RAY- NER, in aid of the cause of the Minor Drama, as his subscription intended to have been given at the meeting held at the Strand Theatre." Sir FRANCIS is as good a theatrical manager as apolitical tactician— by this manoeuvre he at once bribes the manager and secures a Place. THE approach of Don PEDRO'S unnatural expedition to LISBON is announced, and perhaps before this time the attempt of this rejected and exiled constitutional Emperor upon the throne of his brother, and the tranquillity of his discarded and rejected countrymen, has been frustrated. It is needless at this period to renew the discussion of Don MIGUEL'S right to the Throne which he occupies in virtue not only of inheritance but of election, because those who are resolved to libel and vilify the King of PORTUGAL and to uphold and laud to the skies the Citizen King of the FRENCH, whose claim to ( he Throne of France is, by com- parison, nothing, are deaf to reason and every principle by which, till the present period, States have been governed and international correpondence regulated. We have reason to believe that in the struggle to which Don MIGUEL peaceably occupying the Throne of his ancestors, the chosen as well as the lawful MONARCH of his country, has been driven by the most shameful com- bination of crooked policy and vulgar bullying that ever was adopted by civilized Governments, he will successfully repel the attacks of his brother. It is reported, that for the sake of the country, Don MIGUEL has evinced a disposition to negociate ; but we discredit this rumour,— nothing could be more impolitic. The name of Don PEDRO is hateful to the People of Portugal, and even if Don MIGUEL were to consent to the unnatural union with his niece, we firmly believe that the Portuguese People would not suffer the consummation of the nuptials. The Brazilian Princess has no right to anything connected with Portugal. She is the daughter, not of a Portuguese, but of a Brazilian, natu- ralized with the greatest solemnity— a solemnity rendered most remarkable by the zeal and fervency with which the Cacique himself renounced his Country and abdicated his Throne. We shall be anxious for the next arrival from Lisbon, and we confidently anticipate such intelligence as will put an end to the pretensions of the invader, and restore our ancient Allies to a permanent tranquillity, which, thanks to their foreign friends, they have not for some months enjoyed. THE Corporation of London have voted the freedom of the City— in gold boxes— to Lord GRF. Y aud Lord ALTHORPE. They did the same to Colonel WARDLE. WE have elsewhere, to- day, given the letter of Lord GODERICH to the Governors of Colonies— it has already appeared in the daily papers in London, but as the circula- tion of this paper in manyinstauces reaches places where the daily papers are not taken, we consider it our duty to give it a place to- day. The effect produced by ( he mal- administration of West India affairs speaks for itself; but the ruin and distress into which thousands of honourable men and their families are plunged by the system adopted and maintained in Downing- street, frightful and afflicting as they are, are trivial com- pared with the consequences which must ensue to the empire at large, by an obstinate persistance in measures, grounded either upon ignorance ( he most lamentable, or wickedness the most abominable. To the Government itself we are charitable enough to at- tribute the former of these faults— to their under- hand coun- sellors and advisers we concede the latter, and we are of opinion that the exertions of these people are directed at this particular period to make the Reform mob subservient to their particular objects, and while the Ministers are endea- vouring to make out KING WILLIAM THE FOURTH a Re- former, their saintly creatures, and masters—( for they are both)— are trying to persuade the gullible multitude that his MAJESTY is also an Abolitionist; and by this manoeuvre they hope to create a double cry— or rather a triple cry, for the Church is also to be attacked— and that tile one mass of rabble may, with Cerberean powers, cry down the CONSTI- TUTION, theCHURCH, and the COLONIES, simultaneously. The people of England, who interest themselves with regard to the negro population of the West Indies, must admit that practical knowledge and the experience gained by a resi- dence amongst the people whose condition is the subject of discussion, must afford advantages in ( he consideration of their position, which men who have never seen a slave, ex- cept, perhaps, a factory child— and never beheld a black, besides BILLY WATERS or the dingy drummers of the Guards, cannot possibly possess. The KING— our present KING— who is libelled by his Ministers as a Reformer— was long a resident in the West Indies. What was tile conse- quence? As we have before stated in this paper, the present KING not only became the advocate of slavery and the slave- owner, but has put upon record on the journals of the House of Lords an able and elaborate speech in defence of the slave trade itself. That the KING is a Reformer, we deny ; others, with Lord GREY at their head, may assert that he is: we should judge from His MAJESTY'S visitors and associates at Brighton, from His MAJESTY'S own expressions, from the open and undisguised declarations of his nearest relations, and from ( he manner in which one of them describes his feelings at being forced to vote for the Bill in the House of Lords, that His MAJESTY is no Reformer at all,— and strange indeed it would be if he were. But all these are surmises and hear- says, and it is only Lord GREY'S asseveration against some other persons on one side or the other.— Now, with respect to the abolition question, we have no doubt; we have only ( o ( urn ( o the reports of debates in the House of Lords, to find the strongest facts stated by the KING in favour of the West Indian planters and merchants, and the most unequi- vocal opinions expressed of the malevolence and baseness of their interested calumniators. These are recorded ; and we mention the fact again and again, not only to guard the people from being persuaded that a hostile feeling towards the Colonies is a matter of loyalty to the KING, but to render the probability of His MAJESTY being a Reformer equal to that of his being an Abolitiouist. That the efforts of the anti- Slavery people are, at this moment, most vehement and energetic, we know; every nerve is strained to excite the mob and create an interest, which, from the facility with which truth is perverted, and falsehood disseminated, these grubbers of Aldermanbury think they can seasonably produce. We are glad whenever, from a source wholly unconnected with our own corespond- ents, we can exhibit the tricks and stratagems of these unholy Saints. The following letter appears in yesterday's Times. We beg our friends to read it, and make themselves acquainted with the inflammatory proceedings of the philan- thropists :— TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. ' SIR— Allow me, through the medium of your valuable paper, to notice a circumstance which occurred on Saturday last, in my esti- mation highly injudicious, and conducive to excite the already too- much inflamed minds of the middling and lower classes. I allude to some placards posted up in the neighbourhood of Charingcross, re- garding slavery in the West India colonies, and calling upon the peo- ple of England to seize this opportunity and put down slavery. A more inflammatory placard I never witnessed ; and, not satisfied with putting them up, he delivered handbills to all the passers by. and on my inquiring who was his employer, the answer was, ' He be- lieved an agent of the Anii- slavery Society.' Now, I would ask, Sir, any of your numerous readers, if this is the way to obtain their so- much- desired end ? People talk of slavery and disdain it as a crime unpardonable, yea, they say the very name is a pollution to the coun- try, and they, like Christians, exclaim that they have very kind feel- ings towards the planter, and believe them all to be humane ; and then go and attempt to destroy his possessions, thereby blasting his only means of benefitting the state of his negro. Sir, the negro is unable to provide for himself with the indigenous produce of that country ; and talk to him of importing is absurdity. Emancipate the negro, Sir, without a sufficient compensation to the planter, to enable him to supply his then free labourer with what is necessary to his subsistence, will extinguish every tie the planter has to liis estates, and let loose the whole 700.000 blacks on a wide world, unprovided for and uneducated. Sir, emancipate the negro without compensa- tion to his owner, and the planter will be wholly unable to provide tor them, as the principal ol his funds are invested in " the works and his negroes ; their hibour pays him his interest, and enab'es him to clothe and feed his negro, and protect him in old age. His right in the negro is sanctioned by the chartered laws of England— to Eng- land belotms the stain, and to her alone, for she first invited her peo- ple to go there, and compels the planter to keep a certain number of slaves, according to his lands. Look at the recent rebellion in Jamaica, in which I am deeply interested. At one fell swoop the proprietors and mortgagees of many estates have . been totally ruined. To England, Sir, aa British free subjects, we look for protection of our property, and have as much right for her aid as any landholder in this country. If any blame, she and she alone is to biame. Then let the people of England come forward, hand in hand a' d heart in heart, and join in an unanimous determination to put down slavery, in the only way that can benefit the negro— by giving each his mite to compensate tt| e planter according to a valuation. But, Sir. this is not the time to free the black, he is wholly unprepared; let educa- tion, which is making rapid progress, proceed, and let emancipation be gradual, wise, and judicious. Though I have no hesitation in saying, that thus acting Grent Britain will lose her colonies and her revenue, and call as a witness the speeches of one now no more, the enlightened Canning. The wordsol Buonaparte are my authority— ' Destroy the Colonies of Great Britain— you break down her last wall — you fill up her lost ditch.' Sir, the speeches of some of our states- men of the present day are my vouchers, and I can add, with Can- ning, that the aid of such petitions as of the Anti- Slavery Society ( witness the above- named placard) add to our encumbrances more than they increase our power, and only tend to annihilate their en- deavours. Emancipation must be gradual, judicious, and accordant with the planters' wishes and assent, or it will fall with vigour upon the head not only of one of the largest commercial maritime portions of this empire, but on the most respectable individuals who are the owners, and worst— yes, worst of all— upon the head of the unfortu- nate negro himself. " By inserting these few statements— accordant with your senti- ments, I imagine— you will much oblige your constant reader and friend to justice, . " C." Taking this letter, and the allegations it contains against the anti- Slavery people— and Lord GODERICH'S letter to the Governors together, the reader will be enabled to judge the good effects intended to the Colonies by the united forces of Downing- street and Aidermaiibury. IN addition to the calamities which are threatened to our West India settlements by the mis- rule and wickedness of men, the inflictions of Providence during the present year have been more severe than we before believed. By the last, and, as it seems, the most correct accounts which we have received from Barbados, the results of the hurricaue are as follows:— In loss of life. Whites Coloured Slaves Total Whites Coloured Slaves KILLED. 247 65 1.165 1,477 WOUNDED. 106 15 185 Making a total of 306 Of whom 82 whites, S coloured people, and 24 since died, increasing ( he amount of deaths to slaves had 1591. The loss of property amoun( ed ( o £ 2,1111.729 currency. IT is extremely curious to observe, that, in the year 1803, an epidemic or endemic, or whatever it may be termed, raged in various parts of the world with a virulence nearly equal to that of the present Cholera ; and that, although. only twenty- nine years since, the recollection of the visitation appears to have entirely escaped all the medical as well as the non- medical men, who were alive at that period. About three weeks or a month ago, we noticed a state- ment in The Annual Register for that year, which gave detailed accounts of the frightful mortality at Sunderland, Gateshead, and Shields, with all the precautions of fumiga- tion, & c. which had been taken in those places to check the spread of the pestilence. In looking over The Gentleman'' s Magazine for the same year, 1803, we find in vol. 73, page ISO, the following passage :— " A letter from Paris, dated Feb. 12, says—' The mortality by which Paris is desolated may be said almost to exceed the bounds of credibility. Within the last ten days I have been assured from an official quarter, that the number of interments has amounted to 400 per diem on the average, or 4,000 on the whole of that term. Several persons, distinguished for their birth or character, are upon the funeral list. LAHARPE, who formerly read lectures in London; LALANDI, the celebrated astronomer, and the ABBE DELII. LE. have already dropped into the tomb, or are given over by their Physicians within that short period.' '' We mention the subject, because some circumstances con- nected with it may be useful at the present crisis, as ex- hibiting the means of mitigation or cure, which, in the present state of the French metropolis, would be highly important. WE last week extracted from the Brighton Gazette some very striking extracts from speeches made by ( he present reforming Minis( ers in other days— and those other days not very remote. Tothesamevigilanceand patient research we are again indebted to- day for some more illustrations of Ministerial consistency, which we submit to our readers. We are quite aware that the INCAPABLES are as callous to shame as they are reckless of consequences; but, nevertheless, convicting them out of their own mouths, however unworthy they may be as authorities for anything else, must open the eyes of some of their good- natured adherents. " We shall begin," says the Brighton Gazette, " as an introduc- tion to the rest, with a speech made by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, on the 3d of May, 1827, in a debate relative to the new Administration, just after Mr. CANNING had taken office. Sir ROBERT ( then Mr.) PEEL having stated his reasons for not joining the Government, the Noble Lord spoke thus :— "' Now, as he did not mean to accept office himself under it, he might, perhaps, the more readily be allowed to make a few observa- tions on the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman, who had said, among other tilings, that he supposed, if there was any principle of union which bound together the parties comprising the present ad- ministration, it was the wisb that there should be some change ef- fected in the constitution of Parliament. He was astonished at this remark ; for the Right Hon. Gentleman might have remembered to have heard the Right Hon. Member for Knaresborough ( Mr. ( TIERNEY). but a very few sessions ago, declare his conviction, and from the Opposition side of the House, that Parliamentary Reform never could be a party question in this country. It might be al- lowed him also to state a fact, which he had, perhaps, better reason to be informed of than the Right Honourable Gentleman, and that corroborated this view of the case. He, himself, some few years since, had expressed his wisb, that the whole of tha 142 party with which lie usually voted should unite to promote the cause of Parliamentary Reform ; hut it then appeared, not only that roost of the leaders of that party were desirous that it should not be made a party question, but that the IVhig- party, if they should come in as a party, would be opposed to it, or to any other measure having Parliamentary Reform for its object. This fact he mentioned, to show that it could not be justly imputed as a crime to any person, with whom he had been in the habit of voting, to have taken office on the present occasion, without having stipulated that Parlia- mentary Reform should be made a party question. But, perhaps, the Right Hon. Gentleman expected that he ( Lord J. RUSSELL) should introduce that question again to the Bouse. It happened, unfortu- nately, however, that the very last time he had mentioned the question, in the course of the last Session, he had declared that that would be the last occasion of his doing so. And why had he made that de- claration ? BECAUSE HE HAD FOUND A GREAT LUKEWARMNESS ON THE SUBJECT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. And that GROWING LUKE- - WARMNESS he believed to be attributable to the improvement which had taken place in the manner of conducting the Government. Whether the people of this kingdom were right or wrong in allowing themselves to become^ indifferent upon such a cause, it was not now for him to examine ; but he did believe, that as long as they saw the general affairs of the country well conducted and actuated by a spirit of improvement, they would not look too nar- rowly into the constitution of that House of Parliament. At all events, such lukewarmness did at present prevail; and he had, therefore, found it necessary to give up the course he had pursued formerly, of annually bringing this topic tinder the consideration of Parliament.'— Hansard's Parliamentary Debates. " On the 2d of November, 1830, we find Earl GREY saying— 41 have already told your Lordships that I have been a reformer all my life— in my younger days, with all the warmth, perhaps I may- add, with all the rashness of youth, I pressed the matter of Reform further than I might now be disposed to do. But at the same time 1 must say, that I never urged the question of Reform on the principle of abstract right, which is so much the fashion to put forward, nor with a view to universal suffrage, which, in my opinion, would not improve the condition of the representation of the country to such an extent as I think it might be improved. We have been told by some advo- cates of Reform of the right possessed by every man who pays taxes to vote for representatives, and we have been told of the right of every man arrived at full age to exercise the like privilege. For my own part. I deny the existence of such a right: in my opinion the right of the people is to have good Government, one calculated to secure their happiness, liberties, and privileges : and if that be incompatible with universal, or very generulsuffrage, then 1 say that the limitation and NOT the extension of the right of suffrage, is the true right of the people.'— Mirror of Parliament. " On the 22d of November, in the same year, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE took the occasion of presenting some Reform petitions to speak as follows :— " ' I am a friend to amendment in the representative system ; but with all my feelings in its favour, I am prepared for one to say, that to no proposition for a Reform in Parliament which does not leave to the PROPERTY and the KNOWLEDGE of the country— THOSE TWO GREAT ELEMENTS OF CIVILIZED SOCIF. TY— a share, AND I WILL EVEN SAY A PREPONDERATING SHARE, in the representation— to no Reform which does not do this— as an honest man, looking to the permanent welfare both of the people and the monarchy, could 1 give my consent.'— Ibid. " The Noble Marquis was followed by Earl GREY :— " I rise, my Lords, in consequence of the observations which have fallen from my Noble Friend. I heard with g> eat satisfaction the speech which he has just delivered, and 1 perfectly coincide in the sen- timents which fell from him. * * * * It is not long since I lelt myself called upon to address your Lord- ships at some length on this subject, in the debate which took place on the first day of this session. I then stated, being out of office, what I now repeat, being in office, my sincere conviction of the ne- cessity that the Government ( by whom alone the question can be satisfactorily introduced and settled) should take into their imme- diate consideration the state of the representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament, with a view to the correction of those defects which have been occasioned in it by the operation of time, and to the re- establishment of that confidence, on the part of the people, which I am afraid Parliament does not at present enjoy to the full extent that is necessary lor the welfare and safety of the Country. I t- aid, at the same time, that I was not one of those who felt inclined to support any of the fanciful and extreme plans of Reform which have been promulgated by persons out of doors, and which, if adopted, would lead, not to Reform, but to anarchy and confusion. I never have supported, and do not now intend to support, the prin- ciples of universal suffrage, or of any of those wide and extensive changes which have been propounded in some quarters, from which better things might have been expected. 1 wish to stand as much as 1 can upon the fixed and settled institutions of the country.' "— Mirror qf Parliament. These— if the men had any shame or feeling— must have their effect upon them. But no!— What has consistency to do with a Radical Government, which includes in its councils Lord GODERICH, once a Tory Premier— Lord PALMERSTON, once a " new If hig guide,"''' and now an old Whig follower, and Lord MELBOURNE? The case is hopeless, we admit; but, as we have already said, these juggles ought to be ex- posed, to gratify their present adherents. WE recollect seeing in all the Ministerial papers, some time since, a most brilliant and triumphant account of the vanquishtnent of all arrears in the Court of Chancery by Lord BROUGHAM and VAUX, together with sundry sneers and jokes upon the elaborated tediousness of Lord ELDON, and the needless deliberations of Lord LYNDHURST— The Augean stable was cleared, and in fact the Lord CHANCEL- LOR had reduced his before laborious office to a mere sinecure— we ventured, at that period, to make a Rogerian observation about new brooms. On Thursday the following conversation occurred in the Court of Chancery, upon which a correspondent to- day makes some remarks— we think the conversation itself quite worth recording:— COURT OF CHANCERY.— THURSDAY, APRIL 26. Arrangement of Business.— Arrear of Motions. On the LORD CHANCELLOR taking his seat in Court this morning, Sir E. SUGDEN said he had been desired by a number of Solicitors to call his Lordship's attention to the great quantity of motions now in arrear. To such an extent had they now arrived that it became of the greatest importance to the suitors of the Court that some regulation should be made to prevent the enormous expences that were incurred every motion day. He ( Sir E. Sugden) liad himself one single motion in his bag for which already the Solicitor was en- titled to charge forty guineas for attendance in Court, and he had found it impossible as yet to move. The LORD CHANCELLOR— What chance was there, Sir Edward, of making the motion to which you allude ; was there sufficient to justify the Solicitor being in attendance so many days ? Sir E. SUGDEN had always been most anxious to move the Court, but found it impossible ; in fact, the evil of what he then complained had arrived at a most frightful extunt. He had consulted with his Learned Friends on the subject, and they were in opinion with him, in order somewhat to abate the evil, that on every motion day six old motions should be entered en the paper according to tlieii dates, and that it should be understood for the future no allowance would be made to solicitors for attendance on any motion that was not in the paper. In making this arrangement the Bar particularly wished it to be understood that this plan was not at all to interfere with the present practice as related to motions for, or to dissolve, injunctions. The LORD CHANCELLOR— Your plan is to preclude the necessity of attendance in so many cases. Sir E. SUGDEN said that was his object. He had that morning the curiosity to look over all his brieis, and he found that he had not less than thirty- five motions to make, which, according to the present practice, would on every seal day ensure the attendance of at least one hundred persons. The expence was frightful to contemplate. The LORD CHANCELLOR— I do not see what necessity there can be to put down motions for hearing in this Court which maybe disposed of by the Vice- Chancellor. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN could assure his Lordship that the Vice- Chancellor's Court was equally overloaded, and from the necessity of JOHN BULL. the case many motions must come before the Lord Chancellor him- self. Putting down motions to be heard before his Honour would only tend to increase the expence ; it would not drive off the evil of which they all complained. In asking for this regulation he ( Sir E. Sugden) was not studying his own convenience, but the convenience of suitors, and lor the purpose of saving the frightful expenses which now occurred. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL and Mr. PEPYS said they perfectly agreed in the plan proposed by Sir Edward Sugden. The LORD CHANCELLOR had no objection to try it, and he thought it would he better to take all motions according to their dates. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN said he would just observe that, some time previous to his Lordship taking the Great Seal, there were, as at present, a great arrear of motions ; he then suggested to Lord Lynd- hurst a plan similar to the one now proposed, in which his Lordship acquiesced. The consequence was, that motions were so reduced that he ( Sir E. Sugden) had only three unheard when that Noble Lord left office. This arrangement his Lordship had the benefit of on taking the Great Seal, although he must admit that a greater quantity of appeals were then in arrear to what otherwise would have been. Mr. PEPYS said, for the sake of the public, it was imperative to make an arrangement. Sir E. SUGDEN— Yes. I know it is the wish of solicitors them- selves. They are entitled to 13a. 4d. for every attendance, and I know they do not wish for it, but that they are actually ashamed to charge what they are entitled to. The conversation here dropped, it being understood that in future no charge will be allowed for attendance of solicitors on motion ex- cept such motions are on the list for the day. The Court was afterwards occupied in hearing a motion of no public interest. LORD GODERICH'S DESPATCH TO THE GOVERNORS OF COLONIES. Downing- street, Dec. 10, 1831. SIR,— I have the honour to enclose to you herewith, for your own information, and for that of the Legislative Bodies of the Colony un- der your government, a copy of an amended Order, made by his Ma- jesty in Council on the 2nd ult., for improving the condition of the Slaves in British Guiana, Trinidad, St. Lucia, Mauritius, and the Cape of Good Hope. The grounds upon which his Majesty's con- fidential servants have felt it their duty to advise the making of this Order, and the views by which they have been guided in resisting the opposition made to several of its provisions, are fully set forth in a circular despatch which I addressed to the Governors of the above- mentioned Colonics on the 5th ult.; and I enclose certain printed papers, whish have been presented to the House of Commons by his Majesty's command, wherein you will find a copy of that docu- ment, as well as of others relating to the Order in Council. The further object of my present despatch is to enable you, at the same time that the measures in favour of the slaves, which have been thus enforced in the Crown Colonies, are brought to the knowledge of the Council and Assembly within your government, to communicate also to those bodies the course which his Majesty's Government have resolved to adopt, with a view to induce the extension of those mea- sures to the Colonies having local Legislatures : and it is my anxious desire, not only that the intentions of his Majesty's Government should be made known to the Legislative Bodies at the earliest pos- sible moment, but that our motives should be fully explained to them. I am most desirous to satisfy them, if not that our measures are, as we consider them, necessary for the well- being of the slaves, at least that they are dictated by a conscientious sense of duty. I am anxious to convey to them an adequate impression of the neces- sity which exists for us to take at length some effective step towards the redemption of the pledges given, with the concurrence of the West India body, in 1823, and of the solicitude^ vhich we have felt to consult the interests of the planters simultaneously with those of the slaves, and to accomplish by such means as should be the least un- acceptable to the owners of West India property; an object which it has become impossible to postpone without compromising the dignity and consistency of the imperial Legislature, and occasioning danger to all parties concerned. When I look back in the records of this department to the many earnest appeals upon this subject which have been addressed, since the year 1823, to the reason and discretion of the Colonial Legis- latures, it may well seem superfluous to observe, that nothing has been further from the wish of those who have successively adminis- tered the affairs of this country since that period, than to have recourse to any measures of a coercive character. The circular despatches which were written from year to year, repeating the expression of hopes which had in no instance been fulfilled, and of confidence which has not been justified, evince with what extreme reluctance the Ministers of the Crown have been compelled to relin- quish the expectations which were originally entertained, that effectual measures for the improvement of the condition of the slaves should be at length spontaneously adopted by the Colonial Legislatures. The despatches which have been written to point out in detail the defects of such laws as were enacted in alleged fulfilment of the wishes of His Majesty's Government, or in partial compliance with them, bear further testimony to the patient and persevering endea- vours which have been made by His Majesty's Government to impress upon the several Councils and Assemblies the necessity which existed for satisfying the feelings entertained in this country in favour of the slaves, and the inadequacy of their legislation to effect that purpose. If his Majesty's present advisers have resolved to pursue no further this course of warning and entreaty, it is not that they are in any degree less anxious to conciliate the goodwill, whilst they consult the real interests, of the Colonists, but only be- cause they feel that the language of admonition has been exhausted, and that any further attempt to produce an impression upon the Le- gislatures by the same means alone, could add nothing to the respect of those bodies Tor the authority of the Crown, whilst it would be in vain to expect that it could contribute anything to the accomplish- ment of the object in view. His Majesty's Government had thus before them the alternative either of proposing some measures of a stronger character than mere injunction, or of desisting altogether from the promotion of an object to which Parliament is not less justly than solemnly pledged, and the postponement of which is tending more and more every day to precipitate a powerful party in this country in the opposite ex- treme, and to produce dangers which, however ill they may be un- derstood in a distant quarter of the world, no one who is conversant with the influence of public opinion in this country, and the direction of it upon the subject of slavery, could fail to see. At the same time that this alternative presented itself, the in- creasing commercial distress of the West Indian interest could not but attract the most anxious and painful attention of His Majesty's Government. Deeply as they have regretted the opposition of the Colonists to their measures in favour of the slaves, neither that op- position, nor anything that was ill judged and intemperate in the manner of it, has prevented His Majesty's Government from enter- taining the strongest feelings of sympathy and compassion for the distress under which all persons connected with West Indian pro- perty are indiscriminately suffering. His Majesty's . Government were thus scarcely more anxious to secure the adoption of their measures for the protection of the slaves, than to find means, not in- compatible with that object, of relieving the planters from some portion of their commercial difficulties. In this view, as well as from its importance to the interests of humanity, it has been pecu- liarly gratifying to his Majesty's Government to have been enabled to conclude a convention with France, which promises more than any other practicable measure to repress the foreignslave trade ; and this, at the same time that it militates against the dreadful atrocities of that traffic, will give some check to the competition of foreign sugar growers, so far as it is promoted by such iniquitous means.— A measure of fiscal regulations, so devised as to be productive of real and substantial relief, has appeared to be the only April 29. additional method within the power of his Majesty's Go- vernment to propose, which would in some degree meet the exigen- cies of the West India commercial interests; but to offer such an advantage to the planters without at the same time taking any secu- rity for their acceptance of the measures in behalf of the slaves, would be, if not directly inconsistent with the Parliamentary resolutions of 1823. at least an abandonment, and even reversal, of the policy of the executive government resulting from those resolutions. On the 16th of March, 1824, the late Mr. CANNING announced in his place in Parliament, the several modes of giving effect to the resolutions of 1823. which were successively to be tried, for the purpose of over- coming the resistance to them, which, it had appeared from the experience of the preceding year, was to be expected from the Co- lonial Legislatures. He pointed out the course of authoritative admonition, as the most eligible in the first instance ; and, should that be unavailing, he adverted to the means which Parliament possesses of constraining the Colonies by fiscal regulations and en- actments adverse to their navigation, as preferable to more direct application of the powers of Parliament, of which more direct exercise of power he nevertheless declared the necessity, should all other means fail. The course of authoritative admonition has been pursued lor eight years, and has been, as I have already observed, utterly unsuccessful. Advice, again and again tendered to the Co- lonial Legislatures, has been but little listened to in any of the Colonies, and in some of the most important and considerable has been more than once rejected without even the forms of respect. Ceasing, therefore, to entertain hopes that their ad- monitions will ever prove efficacious, it might perhaps be ex- pected of His Majesty's Government to propose at once to Parliament the second mode of operating upon the Legislature, which was contemplated by Mr. Canning. But to use any en- deavour to " harass the Colonies l> y fiscal regulations," in their present circumstances of distress, would indeed be most repug- nant to the feelings of His Majesty's Government. They could not, at this moment, tior until a less painful experiment should have been tried, reconcile it to those feelings which the sufferings consequent upon commercial adversity must always excite, to propose any measures to which a character of unmixed severity could be attri- buted. Whilst, however, their feeling of concern for the difficulties of the West Indian proprietors and merchants withhold them from originating any measure in which their interest should not be consi- dered, they are not less powerfully withheld, by a sense of their duty to the great cause of slave melioration, and by a consciousness of the obligations under which the Government of this country has been placed by the Resolutions of Parliament, from propoundingany mea- sure of indulgence to the planters in which the interest of the slaves should be lost sight of. To propose a measure of fiscal relief, to take effect before the object of the Parliamentary Resolutions should be secured, would be a manifest dereliction of the only course of policy, short of the direct application of power, through which there has ever been a prospect of redeeming the pledges contained in those Reso- lutions. Such being the position of the question, and such the obligations incumbent upon his Majesty's Government, it only remained for them to combine the two great objects which they had to effect in a single measure, and thus to make the one contingent upon the other. I have, therefore, to announce to you the fixed determination of his Majesty's Government to propose to Parliament in the present session, and so soon as the details of this, in common with their other financial operations for the year 1832 can be arranged, a measure of substantial relief to the West India interests; and that this measure will be so framed as to take effect upon the produce of the Crown Colonies as a matter of course, and upon that of those only of the other Colonies in which the provisions, in their precise terms, and in their entire extent, of his Majesty's Order in Council of the 2nd ult., for improving the condition of the slaves in British Guiana, Trinidad, St. Lucia, Mauritius, and the Cape of Good Hope, shall have ac- quired, in perpetuity-, the force of law. It cannot be too distinctly explained, that the measure to be submitted to Parliament will be so framed, that the indispensable condition of receiving the conse- quent benefit will be the fact of a statute having passed the Colonial Legislature, simply, and without qualification in terms, or limitation of time, declaring the Order in Council to possess the force of law in the Colony. The language here used is by no means needlessly strict. The motives and sentiments of bis MAJESTY'S Government would be much mistaken, were it to be conceived, that in making the terms of the proposed alternative thus definite and precise, they had been actuated l> y any spirit of peremptory dictation. The whole efficacy of a law depends upon verbal distinctions, and minute accuracies of expression. To leave the choice of words to any body of men, is to place the substance and essence of the law at their discretion. To do this, would be nothing less than to resume, and continue, the fruitless correspondence of the last eight years, upon the terms of colonial slave acts. An interminable controversy would arise between his MAJESTY'S Government and each of the legislative colonies, as to whether the required amendments in the laws relating to slavery had or had not been enacted ; and his MAJESTY'S Government would be called upon to discharge the invidious and even impracticable office of determining constructively upon the words of 13 different codes, while upon their decision it would depend to which of as many colonies the benefit provided by Parliament should be dispensed, and to which it should be denied. Even if such a revision were pos- sible, the experience of eight years has now placed beyond the reach of all rational doubt the fact, which, independently of such expe- rience, might have been anticipated, that laws framed in the colonies, and passed by the Colonial Assemblies, for the improvement of the condition of slavery, are deficient in that quality without which all such legislation must be nugatory. The compilation of Acts passed during that period, by 13 different Assemblies ( with the exception of a few enactments passed in some of the smaller islands on the subject of slave evidence, and of an act of Grenada respecting the legal presumption in favour of freedom), does not contain a single statute which carries within itself any reasonable security for the faithful execution of its provisions. I am willing to give to the colonial legislatures the same credit for upright intentions which is claimed for those who discharge corresponding functions in this country.— But I should sacrifice truth to anjunmeaning and ill- timed compli- ment, were I to attribute to the members of those bodies that freedom from prejudice, and dispassionate self- possession on the subject of slavery, or that skill in the technical business of legislation, without which tbe most honest intentions are totally inadequate to the pro- duction of an effective law. Moreover, the opinion of the Assemblies has been too distinctly and repeatedly expressed, to leave it doubtful what would be the result if the task of reconstructing the Order in Council were referred to them, instead of the option of unconditionally adopting or absolutely rejecting it. You will lay this despatch and its enclosure before both branches of the legislature in the colony under your government, and I shall await with feelings of deepand anxious interest the result of the pro- posals here marie. Should they not meet the views of the legislatuae, his Majesty's Government will have more than one cause for the most serious concern— they will then have to regret, not only the temporary postponement ( for more than temporary it cannot he) of the benefits which are intended for the slaves, but the failure of their efforts to renew the prosperity, or mitigate the distress, of the planters; and, above all, they will have to deplore the continuance, oil the part of the West Indian colonists, of that insensibility to the influence of public opinion in the mother country, by which they are daily bringing themselves more and more within the danger of cala- mities far more serious than any which can be caused by commer- cial reverses, and of disasters from which it may be beyond the power of any government to protect them. I have. & c. & c., ( Signed) GODERICH. PARISIAN CORRESPONDENCE. Paris, April 2oth, 1832. DEAR BULL,— Behold the situation of France .'— she has a King without subjects,— a Government without the power of governing,— and an Administration without a chief. She is torn to pieces by parties— is divided by factions— is in a state of bankruptcy— has no trade, commerce, or manufactures, t and is expecting at each hour another revolution. The rich are emigrating, or converting their property into gold and burying it beneath their dwellings; the poor are starving in the streets, or dying by thousands of an epidemic which they have not the physical foice to resist; the shopkeepera and little tradesmen are closing their shops, selling their stock in trade at a loss of SO per cent.; and not daring to invest the produce even in the securities of the nation, they refuse to take bank notes, and buy gold though enormously dear, that they may at least be secure for some time from famine and penury. The Departments are either ravaged by fires, by pestilence, or by insurrections. Civil war is not unknown to France at this moment, for in three Depart April 29. JOHN BULL. 143 ments the Vendeana arid Chouans are endeavouring to slay the soldiers of Louis PHILIPPE, whilst, in return, his soldiers for the time being are slaughtering them. Behold the situation of France ! Paris is ruined— Paris is in a state of misery and poverty never yet known, even in the times of ROBESPIERRE and his associates ; and, unless the principles of legitimacy shall speedily triumph in this country, the long grass of desolation and the grave will grow in the streets of Paris, whilst all their forms of disease and want will stalk through those palaces and public places of resort which were but two years ago Irequented by the happy, the prosperous, the healthy, and the gay. This is no idle prophecy,— this is no lachrymose prediction ; but it is the opinion of one who well knows the condition of France— who mixes with all classes and all opinions to learn the sentiments and the wants of all— and who can corroborate all his statements by thousands of facts which no one can gainsay or even dare to dispute. How is all this? what is the cause of all this national and over- whelming calamity ? This is a question which it will not be difficult to answer. It is all to be traced to the triumph of what are called liberal principles, or, in other words, of democracy in France. No one can deny that prior to the last revolution France was in a state of unparalleled prosperity. No one can deny that from the moment the revolution broke out France has been getting daily, nay hourly, into a worse and worse position. And no one can deny thatsince the revolution of July, the Liberals who led theopposition to the BOURBON Government for fifteen years, have been in power,— have had the un- controlled possession of the army, navy, finance, and police,— and yet France is ruined, and Paris is little better than a desert. How then is it that the prevalence of liberal and democratic principles in France, and this accession to office of Democrats and Jacobins, has brought about these results ? I will give you twelve reasons, and 1 think these will be convincing and unanswerable :— 1st. Democracy is not suited to French character, and to that restlessness and agita- tion which belong to Frenchmen. They recfuire to be governed, and not to rule.— 2nd. French Liberals are men of shallow minds, not even ordinary capacities, and take no large and general, but only partial and selfish, views of great events and principles.— 3rd. French Liberals are in ninety cases out of a hundred immoral and irreligious men, bad fathers, husbands, citizens, and cannot therefore be confided in by those who have property or character.— 4th. In consequence of the success, in July 1830, of these men and of these principles, all enterprizes were stopped by capitalists and men of large fortune and income, since they could not think of risking their property in a country where the basis of the Government was immoral.— 5th. In consequence of the triumph of the democratic party, nine out of ten of all wealthy and respectable foreigners living in France have quitted the capital and the departments; and it is calculated that in Paris alone not less than the sum of one million of francs per day was, before the revolution, spent by foreigners who drew their resources from their own countries, and who now have left this capital, and therefore no longer expend their money in Paris. Thus, neither Frenchmen nor foreigners have any confidence in the principles, or the men, of the revolution.— 6th. In consequence of the triumph of democratical principles, the canaille all over France have, ever since the autumn of 1830, been engaged in making ementes and revolutions of a local character; the result of which has been, that no person engaged in manufactories or large commercial estab- lishments have felt sufficient confidence in the Government which existed, to continue to embark their capital in those undertakings, and therefore hundreds of thousands of workmen huve been thrown out of employ.— 7th. In consequence of the triumph of democracy, all persons of property in France have diminished their expenditure, and have hoarded up their money against the evil day which must arrive ; when those who possess nothing will wage war— a war to the knife against those who possess something— and when those who possess anything but gold hidden up, will be liable to be deprived of it.— 8th. In consequence of the triumph of democracy in France, she has been compelled to raise and maintain an immense army, as well as a yet more immense service of National Guards, which has led to a national expenditure for which she was not prepared, especially at a time when the resources of France are necessarily diminished.— 9th. In consequence of the triumph of democracy in France, the national expenditure has been greatly increased, and the national income greatly lessened, and therefore new taxes of a general and local nature have been imposed, which the people are unable to pay. — 10th. In consequence ol the triumph of democracy in France, pub- lic credit has been injured— the public Funds have fallen— the mer- chants of other countries do not place the same confidence as they did in the stability of the French Government, or of private credit, and therefore foreign merchants do not seek to carry on business with France— so that thus her commerce is ruined.— 11th. In conse- quence of the triumph of the canaille in 1830, the canaille consider themselves the masters of France ; and all that is truly respectable, affluent, and honourable, avoid connecting themselves, more than they can help, either with the Court, the Cabinet, or the nation ; and no one, now, will parch * se an estate in France upon any conditions. As a revolution was made in three days, another may be made in a short time— and as the last was made against a principle ( legitimacy), the next will be made against property.— And 12th. Inconsequence of the triumph of democracy in France, those who are opposed to democratic principles are constantly endeavouring to overthrow them ; which leads to insurrections, civil war, and contests, between the clergy, the nobility, and the respectable classes of society, on the one hand, and the canaille and dregs of soeiety, on the other. Which will triumph, is not yet known; but whilst the contest is going on, France is being ruined. Now let the columns of John Bull be open to any reply to these facts and these reasonings, and let us see what sort of an answer can be made to these statements. If none be made — if the facts and consequences be admitted— then I hope the Peers of Great Britain will pause before they proceed further with the Reform Bill; and will take care not to encourage the propagation of those principles in their own country, which they perceive to be so destructive and ruinous among their neighbours. Perhaps, in a letter which ought to be devoted as much as possible to the news of the week, I have been somewhat diffuse on the subject of the present situation of France. But that situation is so truly deplorable— the effects of the revolution which is about to take place in France will be so injurious to England— and the peace and prospe- rity of Europe are so essentially connected with theinternal condition of this country, that I feel I cannottoo frequently call your attention to a subject so replete with interest and importance. The news of the past week is various. I will endeavour to present you with the principal incidents, day by day, and you will see there is enough to amuse and occupy the minds of your readers: — THURSDAY, April 19.— News from Rome that the French Govern- ment had agreed to submit to all such conditions as the POPE should impose on it, and that the drapeau tricolore had been taken down at Ancona. News from Portugal that the Portuguese Government had received the most favourable intelligence from Madeira, and that any attempt of Don Pr. DROin that quarter would be unsuccessful. Received from Lisbon the spirited addressof Don MIGUEL to the Portuguese na- tion, which is full of facts and reasonings of the most convincing cha- racter. News from Greece that the National Congress at Megara has refused to submit to the new President, and sets at defiance the Con- ference of London and its last protocol. Six hundred persons died yes- terday in Paris from the cholera. New fires in the departments. The POPE blessed a golden rose on 1st April, which those asses called Li- berals will have it he intends presenting to Donna Maria— this is in- deed making an April fool of the POPE. Count d'ARGOUT, Minister of Commerce, taken ill with the cholera morbus. Prince POLIGNAC at- tacked at Ham in the same manner. The Chamber of Peers pro- tested against the conduct of the Deputies in running away from their . duties on the appearance of the cholera in the capital. The funds fell though the news of the ratification of the treaty by Austria and Prus- sia was given out at the Foreign Office. FRIDAY.— Certain intelligence arrived that the ratification of the treaty of November relative to Belgium, on the part of Austria, was conditional, and that the condition was one which rendered the ratification of no avail. Louis PHILIPPE declares that he will not have his birth- day, 1st May, kept as a fete day in France. Louis PHILIPPE might have saved himselfthe trouble of announcing this, as no one dreamed o! keeping his birth- day as a fete day. News from Terceira that Don PEDRO is disappointed by the non arrival of ves- sels and soldiers, and talks of deferring his voyage til! June. The editor of a royalist journal, L'Opinion, and the editor of a journal called Jerome le franc Parleur, condemned to fines and imprison- ment. All the Mayors ol Paris, except three, refused the 1000 francs sent to each of them by M. de CHATEAUBRIAND by the hands of an ex- aide- de- camp of the Ducfiess of BERRY. As soon as this circum- stance became known, hundreds of individuals applied at the resi- dence of M. de CHATEAUBRIAND for relief, and said they should be too inmpy and grateful if allowed to participate in the bounty of " tl e good D ychess. — More fires in the departments. The St. Simonians discontinue their sittings, soirees, and humbug, and proceed to the SPWJtry to- aj- pid their creditors. It is every where said that the Ministry will be changed in a few dass. Serious disturbances at Nantes between the Rovalists on the one side, and the canaille on the other. Of course the Government took the part of the canaille, and therefore the royalists did not give the low mob the thrashing they had intended. SATURDAY.— The French Governments intends to yield up Algiers to Turkey. M. CASIJIIR PERIER is much worse— has a brain fever. Louis PHILIPPE has appointed BARTHE and MONTALIVERT to sign for PERIER and d'ARGOUT, as they are unable, to attend to public affairs. News from Brussels that the rebel THORN, the Belgian Governor of Luxembourg, has been arrested by the Dutch trooDS in the capital of that province. The Belgians are in a great passion— why do they not go and fight? News from Spain that the Spanish Government still continues to send troops to Portugal, and is fully resolved on aid- ing Don MIGUEL. The Session of the French Chambers is closed. SUNDAY.— News from Prussia that the Poles in that country are subject by the Government to martial law. English Whigs and French Liberals permit every thing. Emigration to America is going on from the east of France. Fires of a frightful character are extend- ing in the west. The liberals admit, that notwithstanding all the new taxes imposed on France, and new loans made since the year 1830, that there is a deficiency in the Treasury of six hundred mil- lions of francs!— Two shocks of earthquake felt in the department of Puy de Dome. MONDAY.— News of riots at Ancona— wherever the tri coloured flag is seen, there is always trouble and disorder. News from Swit- zerland that the Pope is raising an army in that country. The cholera has extended itself to sixteen French departments, but has somewhat subsided at Paris. News from the west of France art more fires, and from the south at Grenoble, of more duels between the military and the " patriots"— duels between the soldiers and the people ! ! TUESDAY.— News from Modena, of a new conspiracy got up by the emissaries of the French democrats against the Grand Duke. News from Valentia that the Spaniards in that town had risen to massacre theConsuland the French; French liberals and French democrats are detested in Spain. News from Greece, that the son of the King of Ba- varia will not accept the Throne. News from the Hague that the King of Holland will not yield, and that the King of Prussia has sent to assure his Majesty that although he has ratified the treaty of No- vember with Belgium, yet that he will never consent to any measures being taken against the King of Holland to compel him to accede to it. M. PERIER a little better— but still his mind seriously affected. WEDNESDAY.— M. D'ARGOUT much better. M. PERIER has passed a bad night, and is greatly agitated. The French Liberals are ex- clusively occupied with apprehensions of war. The Constitutionnel has considered this subject, and has caused the most profound im- pression by an article published in its journal of yesterday. People begin to understand that the French revolution is a vast evil, and must be crushed. More fires in the west— more agitation in the east — more insurrections in the north— Paris in a state of extreme misery, and LOUIS PHILIPPE the most unpopular Monarch which France has ever had during many centuries. My budget is finished, and my letter terminated; and I have only therefore to assure you, that I am. as ever. Your affectionate Correspondent, P. H. TO . JOHN BULL. SIR— I beg leave to call your attention to the statement made in the Lord Chancellor's Court by Sir E. SUGDEN this day ( Thursday) with respect to the number of motions waiting for hearing before the LORD CHANCELLOR " which now amount to thirty- five in his ( Sir EDWARD'S) own list, independent of the other gentlemen of the Bar, although at the time his Lordship entered on his judicial duties, there were only three unheard motions left by Lord LYNDHURST."— His Lordship expressed a wish that all original motions should be heard by the VICE CHANCELLOR, and only the Appeal motions be heard by himself. What, therefore, becomes of his Lordship's boast some months back, of his intention to ASSIST THE VICE CHAN- CELLOR." There are also, in addition to this large arrear of motions, no less than forty appeals ready for hearing before his Lordship, as appears from the books at the Register Office. It should also he remembered that there is a heavy list of appeals in the House of Lords. Should the arrears of every description of business before the Lord Chan- cellor increase for the ensuing six months in the same proportion as the preceding six months, they will nearly double those of Lord ELDON'S time, upon whom the present Chancellor, some years back, heaped abuse gross and unfounded, as being the cause of that delay and those arrears of business to which his Lordship himself seems now so speedily arrived. The above facts also form a sufficient set- off to the indiscriminate praise so profusely lavished on his Lordship by the Radical Press, for the great speed with which he disposed of the Chancery business, which reckless haste has been in itself one of the leading causes of the present arrears.— I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, A PROFESSIONAL SUBSCRIBER. Thursday, 26 « April, 1832. TO JOHN JBULLT SIR— By late arrivals from the West Indies, I find that in some of the Islands an order had been promulgated by command of His MA- JESTY'S Ministers, authorizing the forfeiture, to the Crown, of the children of domestic slaves, removed with their parents from one colony to another since the year 1825; because, in the opinion of Dr. LUSHIKGTON and the King's Advocate, such removal is an in- fringement of the 17th section, of the Abolition Act. Now here is an instance of the infamous course of policy pursued by the Saints and his MAJESTY'S Ministers towards the colonists. Atone instant, we are deafened with exclamations against the cruelty of separating families, the barbarity of depriving children of the pro- tection of their parents, inhumanity of bursting asunder the bonds of natural affection, and yet, in another instant, the very same persons punish the slave- owner, because he has not separated children from their parents, nor broken asunder the ties of parental and filial love. But this is not all, this order lor the forfeiture of children not separated from their parents, follows close in the wake of Orders in Council, emanating from the self- same indi viduals, which enforce the laws ( already in force in most of the Colonies) preventing the separation of families, and punishing such separation with heavy penalties. So that there is one law to punish the separation of families, and another to punish us if we do not separate them, in the cases of domestic slaves re- moving with their owners from one colony to another. Surely, surely, it is the intention of certain persons to drive the Colonists to desperation, by thus surrounding them with snares for their destruc- tion. But what animus actuates these men, to order the forfeiture of the infant slaves, whose removal was effected in open day, and with the consent of the Custom House ? His MAJESTY'S Ministers do not wish the enforcement of penalties in past cases, nor the forfeiture of the vessels, only the forfeiture of the slaves ; but if the law has been broken, why not enforce the payment of the penalties and the for- feiture of the vessel, as well as the forfeiture of the slaves ? why not follow the usual course in all such doubtful cases, by remitting the whole of the penalties in past cases, since the offences have been committed through ignorance? I will not write the answer. And all this affair is grounded on the opinions of these lawyers, whose hostility to the colonists is well known, and whose wit in discovering the spirit of Acts of Parliament, we have lately seen in the Russian Dutch Loan job.— I remain, Sir, yours, & c., G.

On Monday a Confirmation was held by the Lord Bishop of F. XF. TER, at the parish church of West Teignmouth. when 532 persons were confirmed. His Lordship afterwards in a most appropriate and elo- quent speech, addressed himself to all present. The Rev. Archdeacon BARNES will hold his Arclideaconial Visita- tion in the parish church of Barnstaple, on Wednesday the 30th of May next. The Vicarage of Hoxne is vacant by the decease of tne Rev. G. DOUGHTY ; and is in the gift of Sir EDWARD KERRISON. Bart. On Tuesday, ata meeting held at Kidderminster, of the Dissenting Ministers of the Congregational or Independent Denominations in the county of Worcester, and some places adjacent, a petition to the two Houses was agreed upon, praying that a fair trial may be allowed to the system of education proposed by Government for the population of Ireland. The petitioners say, " though your petitioners would greatly prefer the use of the entire Scriptures in the schools esta- blished under the Board of Education, yet. since such a measure is impracticable in schools intended both for Catholic and Protestant, your petitioners are content that suitable selections should be used, rather than Ireland remain without a national system of education." On Thursday the 12th, the first stone of the intended new Church at Pensax. in the county of Worcester, was laid by THOS. CLUTTOS BROCK, Esq., after which ceremony the Rev. Dr. GLUTTON delivered an appropriate address to a numerous audience, concluding with a prayer for the Divine Blessing on the undertaking. The subscription for the building of this Church amounts to nearly 9001.. to which the Dean and Chapter of Worcester, the Rev. JAMES MEAKIN, Vicar, the Rev. D. DAVIES ( the late Curate), the Rev. Dr. CLUTTON, and several other gentlemen, have very handsomely contributed.— The Lord Bishop of the Diocese, Dr. HUNTINGFORD, with his accustomed liberality, defrays the whole expence of the Faculties. The church will be built of stone, in the Gothic style ; will contain upwards of 200 free sittings, besides those appropriated to the respective pro- prietors of land in the parish. It is expected that it will be finished by Christmas next. YORK CATHEDRAL.— The restoration of the choir of York Minster is now so far completed, that it will be re- opened for divine service on Sunday the 6th cf May next. The morning service is in future to commence at half- past ten instead of ten o'clock, an arrangement which we believe will much better meet the convenience of the majority of the eontrresration.

We have been assured that at the Council held yesterday, the physicians in attendance upon him were examined, and declared that they had every hope of his beingulti- mately restored to health, but that it would be long before he could return to business. Upon this the Council entered into a considera- tion of the appointment of a successor. It was asserted that it was at one time resolved that M. de Montalivet should take the Home Department, and be replaced in his office as Minister of Public Instruction by M. Dupin, the office of President of the Council being suppressed. But M. Dupin having refused to accede to this arrangement, matters remained unsettled. Ac- cording to other reports in circulation, a new Cabinet is to be composed in one of the two following manners :— M. Gtiizot, President of the Council ; Admiral de Kigny, Minister of the Ma- rine ; M. Vatimesnil, of Justice ; M. Royer Collard, for Foreign Affairs; the Duke de Broglie, of Public Instruction; Marshal Gerard, of War ; and M. de St. Crirq, of the Finances; or the same offices to be filled by the Duke of Bassano or the Duke Decazes, Count d'Argeut.

In afewdavs will be published, 2 vols, dedicated, by permission, to his Majestv, BURKE'S GENERALand HERALDIC DICTIONA RY of the PEERAGE and BARONETAGE of the BRITISH EMPIRE. 4th Edition. This new Edition of Mr. Burke's popular work, in addition to comprising, exclusively, the whole Hereditary Rank of England, Iieland, and Scotland, ( exceeding fifteen hundred families ) has been so extended as to embrace almost every individual in the remotest degree allied to those eminent houses; so that its collateral information is now considerably more copious than that of any similar work hitherto published. The lines of descent have likewise been greatly enlarged, and numerous historical and biographical anecdotes, together with several curious and rare papers, have been supplied. The Peerages under discussion before the House of Lords ( a new feature in such a work), are minutely detailed, and the claims upon which the respective petitioners to Par- liament pray the restoration of suspended honours, are fully explained. The Royal Family of England is deduced from the Conquest to the present period ; and the Kings of Scotland brought down in regular succession to the era when the two crowns united upon the head of James ( 6th) 1st. To these is annexed a Genealogical Sketch of the illustrious House of Guelph, The Armorial En- signs have been re- engraved, upon a plan of incorporation with the letter- press, so that the existing state of each family, with its lineage and arms, will be found altogether. Amongst the illustrations, is a fine Head of his Majesty, fiom Sir Thomas Lawrence's celebrated drawing, engraved by permission, exclusively for this Work.
