ROMAN CATHOLICS.— In presenting ( he Peti tion to the . House of ( ominuiis from this town gainst farther concessions to the Roman Catholics,, on Friday last, Mr. PANTON CORBKTT. said, jt was Very numerously and respectably signed by above 9! 0 persons, compo. sed of Members of the Estab- lished Church as well as Dissenters. Many of the signatures' were those of persons for w hose opinions he entertained the highest respect, and it was with pain that he felt compelled to differ from them in opinion upon any subject, unve particularly upon one of such vast importance :- but, from an attentive perusal of. the evi< leiice taken on the state of Ire- laud, he had been so much sniggered in the opinions he former! v held, which were in unison with those of the petitioners, that he could not bring himself to vote against the second reading of the Bill, though he was present at the w hole of the discussion, • nid left the House w ithout- voting. He would not pledje - himself to any vole on the third reading, until hesaw how the Bill came out of the Commit- tee that night, and what became of the other two measures, but he would pledge himself to give the question the best- and fullest consideration he was able, and- in that consideration to pay every atten- tion to the opinions so properly expressed in the Petitionla all the sentiments of attachnient to the Constitution established at Uve Reformation, and to the Protestant Religion, expressed by the Petition- rs, he would yield to no man.- He was requested by his Colleague ( tlie H< » n. H. G. Bennet) to state, that serious illness in his family prevented his being in the House on the second reading, but that his opinions remained unchanged. The Petitinu which will be presented from this town to the House of Lords against further conces- sions to the Roman Catholics, bus received about 150!) signatures; A Poll foi the office of Perpetual Overseer of the Poor of the Parish of St. Mary, in this town, commenced on Thursday last.

COAL,— A vein of this valuable article has been discovered at Durriugtou, 8 miles from this town, iihder the lands of M r. Curtis, Mr. T. Jones, and others; which promises to be of good quality and in considerable quantity. The present very high price of coal renders any discovery thereof, espe- cially iti a district w; hich has not hitherto been sup- posed to contain it, of public interest. Mr. WOOD'S BOOK on RAII- WAY ® , will satisfy ^ very kind of curiosity on that important national subject. This gentleman's occupations at Olingsworth colliery, near Newcastle, and his long co- operation w ith Mr. Stephenson, in experi- ments on RAII.- WAYS, ore well known, and no information cau be desired beyond what a publica- tion of bis is likely to afford. In our report of the proceedings, in the Court of Arches, on Monday, the 25th ult. we should ha'vevstated, that Mr. Durant's Proctor protested in ihe strongest terms against the sentence pronounced against, hitii, and instantly gave notice of an appeal to the Court of Delegates, which was immediately made, the Commission obtained Under the Great Seal, and the Inhibition served upon the Registrar and adverse Proctor on Saturday, the 30th ult.

The coachman bad drawn up at ihe summit of a sharp hill going out <' f Swindon, for the pur- pose of having the wheel dragged, when n- iifort. u nately the pole of the carriage touched the flank of one. of the leaders,- which began kicking, and afterwards set off at a fuiious rate down tiie hill. Tn descending, the coach wa* overturned, and we regret to announce that Lieut. Thoin- as Mnyris, It." N. ( a gentleman well known and highly re- spected in Bath,) was thrown from his seat, had his thigh broken in a dreadful' maimer, aud was otherwise so much injured that he only survived till three o'clock next morning ; another of the outside passengers was seriously bruised^ and one of the horses killed on the spot. The estimales of Ihe Liverpool and Manchester rail- road are taken at f 12,000 per mile ! The road- is to be executed on a magnificent scale; to be feet wide; the rails to be laid down iir tlie best possible manner, aud the purchase of land at tiie two extremities iiitYst be paid for at an euonnous price. This estimate also includes the cost of engines, waggons^ and warehouses. CHELTENHAM RACES, 1825— All the Stake are now . filled up, and 56 horses are, entered for the Gloucestershire Stakes,.

Obtaining a less . expensive Poor- Hoiisc than the present one, Mr. Walton refused to give his concurrence to these Propositions, saying that he had no ^ authority to support any Bill which vvent to eritizff but Only a Bill which went to repeals v . j We are likewise authorised to CcfntVadict ihe assertion made in the Chronicle,, that, Tuesday ( 1tie day offer the Bill, was thrownthe above noticed Five Stipulations . were consented To l> y each party for we have seen Mi Letter from tbe Solicitor of the Opponents to theBillV'in which he states that Mr. Walton applied fot- The signa- tures of the Agents w ho opposed ih^ ' Bill to ihe Five Propositions aforesaid, and was instantly refused. We need hardly notice the absurdity charged upon the- Opponents of the Bill, in representing them as agreeing to the First ( if the Chronicle's Five Propositions, which is for Ihe Repeal of ibe Act, while they were strenuously exerting them selves to oppose the Repeal: and it is still more absurd lo suppose that, after they had succeeded in their opposition, they should voluntarily, agree to a new Bill which would accomplish that Repeal which they had so anxiously opposed— and thus frustrate their own labours.

The boa! mau;; w » Hh difii- culty gained the shore, where. he had lo. b^ hold the melancholy and afflicting'scene, that e. nswed, with- out the possibility of rendering his wife or llie others the least assistance: his wife and, the other female were drowned ; but the bricklayer had with him a large basket, which, providentially for him self, he retained firm hold of, and although he was carried down the stream a considerable idistarice, sometimes with his head aud sometimes-, with his heels only out of the water, the buoyancy of the basket sufficed to prevent him sinking entirely until a neighbouring boat relieved him . from his awful situation. We have, since been informed", and we mention it with pleasure, . that it is and vfor some time past has been in contemplation to erect a bridge near this dangerous ford, a plan thereof having at the last' Hilary, Sessions been submitted to the Magistrates " for the Counties: of Salop,^ Montgo- mery, and Denbigh, for their approb itiou ; and so highly was it approved of by the Right Hon.

LD, Esq. iu the Chair : IT WAS RESOLVED, Th it this Committee having successfully opposed the Repeal of the Shrewsbury House of'Industry Act, are desirous of again laying before their Fellow- Townsmen their Resolutions of the 9tli Dav of April last • viz. Though the Committee are of Opinion that the Ine. qualities in the Rates have never been of such Magnitude, or so regularly preponderating 011 any Side, as to weigh against the general Advantages resulting from the Incor- poration ( it the Parishes; yet, as these Inequalities have been made the Occasion ot much violent Declamation, and have been so presented to the Winds of fair ai il impartial Men, as to beget a Suspicion that the Opponents of the bill wish to perpetuate Injustice, and take Advantage of the Act to inflict an Injury ou their Fellow- Towasmeu : Resolved vnan; monsbjt On the Motion of Mr. JOHN TIIOH ts LLOYD, seconded by Mr. JOHN BATHE.:, That the Opponents of the Bill are ready and desirous to enter upon' a fairly- conducted Investigation of the Inequalities, and pledge themsrlves to rectify, 83 far aa thev can, any real Wrongs that, may he discovered to exist; hut that thev are resolutely deter- mined to resist ali Attempts tu overthrow au i'. stabl'ishinent which has kept doivn the iiates at Shrewsbury so much below the Average of the Kingdom." Th i » t this Committee do adhere to th$ r above Resolutions, aud are desirous of < o- operautig wiih their Fell ow Townsmen iu procuring' an " early Amendment of the present Act of Incorporation. That this Committee tire of Opinion that the following are among the principal Objects of neces- sary Amendment— In the first Pace, such an Adjustment of the Average Payment* of each Parish in Respect of its Paupers as, upon a Rfvievv of the Aocouuts of the Incorporation, shall be deemed just and equitable either Upon the Plan of the Pooi and . Montgomery House of Industry, or otherwise, as may appear most fur the Advantage of the Rate- payers at large. Secondly, The Repeal or Amemlin. nl of such Clauses in the present Act us have been a So . ice of Legal Difficulty, either ns to the Prosecution of Offenders, as to the respective Duties of Guardians and Directors, or in any other Respect whatever. Thirdly, The Framing of such a Check upon the Expend lime of the Public Money in the Hands nf the Directors as may prevent Ihe Misapplication of it, and afford a speedy Remedy for such Misappli. cation, by compelling a regular Production of the Accounts before the Magistrates, and giving a Power of Appeal to any Rate- Payer against the Allowance of such Accounts. RESOLVED, That this Committee, while they pledge them, selves, to the best of, their Ability. and the utmost ot their Influence, to promote any Amendment of the present Act of Incorporation on theabove Prin- ciples, with such Modifications as the Wishes 01* Interests of the Public tu large, on a mature Inves- tigation, may render expedient, will 11.> t eminent to the Demolition of the present House or Establish, uieiit. That it appears to this Committee, from a Com- munication made by their Solicitor, that no specific Engagement whatever has been entered into 011 their Parts, as has been incorrectly a> serte< l in the Shrewsbury Chronicle; b ut that it is uu. v open to the Uni'ed Parishes to adapt whatever Course of Proceedings shall, after mature Enquiry and Deli- beration, appear most fur the general Advantage.

EDITOR, At a late Meeting, held in onr Tovvn Hall, far the purpose of considet tng i he expediency of petitioning the Le% i$ talure . agtt- ih*? ant, further concessions < o Roman Catholics^ in the Petition that was proposed and adopted, and in the Speeches that were deli- vered, several serious charges were made against the Catholic Reiig- ion. These charges seem to call for some reply from one, who, from consci- ntious conviction, professes that religion, and of which religtrfn he is a minister and a teacher. As you have, professed . yourself, Mr Editor, friendly to f^ ir discussion, I trust you will not refuse to insert in $ vjur. respe.$ ab, le Jaurhfil the few following remarks, in answer to th^ eharges alluded to.— After reading, your report of the proceedings Of the Meeting, LcOuld' h'oji^ i^ lp saving to myself, Is it possible, that after hav; ing £, o, ne through a course of Catholic ecclesisistica! - education, after having devoted so many years to the study of the Catholic religion, after having been judged qualified to be rt teacher of that, religion, I should still have to learn from Protestants what that religion teaches, and what it requires, me to teach to others ? , Tenets rire imputed to my religion, which all my recollections disavow, and which are as odious to Catholics, as they are to those who would fasten them on theCat!>< dic relig- ion. We are accused of being persecutors from princi- ple. This charge comes with si bad grace from those who have persecuted us, and w ho still continue to exclude us from the privileges of the State, be- cause we worship God according to t ie dictates of our conscience. I sickuowledge, and I acknowledge with sorrow, that Catholics . have persecuted : but never have I yet found that the Catholic religion inculcates persecution. As well, therefore, may I charge Protestants, with being persecutors from principle, be^ aus^ Protestants ha> e persecuted, because Protestants''" of former days have, in our own country, enacted1 penal laws which Protestants of these days have declared to be a disgrace to our statute books, and because, under the operation of those la, ws,- hundreds of Catholic priests have suf fered imprisonment, and tortures, and death. " Let him that is" Without sin cast the first stone." Or rather let us compare accounts, and consent to draw a veil over the failings of our forefathers. They have answered for their deeds before an unerring uid just tribunal. Let us suffer their ashes to re- pose : and for ourselves, let the olive- branch of peace be in our hands, and the benevolence of christian charity in our hearts'. Let the sword return into its scabbard, and there may it rust for ever:: '-' : Another charge is^ that " toleration is considered and branded by Catholics as a crime " To this a single fact^ may, at present, be a sufficient reply. religion of the State in France is Catholic: and yet the State in France, at this moment, not only tolerates Protestants, but actually allows a stipendiary support to Ministers of the Protestant religion. AgKin. we are accused of holding it lawful 4< not keep faith with heretics." I recoil at the odious npuFatiou, but I svm spared the unwelcome task of heing , obliged to refute it. We are acquitted by the, AnsAvers obtained by Mr. Pitt from Catholic Universities : we are . acquitted by the Legislature of.'' Oi^*^, onntry, in admitting' and being satisfied vvitli ' the' ('" nthoiic Ailegiance- Oath. The last charge I shall notice is more serious than the ri^ stV ' It'is hof indeed openly avowed, but it is s^ ortg^ y i. tisintiated, : iu the• conclusion of an ani- mated iuMress; and calculated to make a last strong 4tnpre$$ 3> i » The alarming anecdote related by Mr. Mar^ de^,; as receivel froni a gentleinan, who recejrA; ecJ,; it from another • gentleman, may be true, or it may be false. 1 mean no disrespect to Mr. Marsden. As a Christian minister, he would not have repeat" d it, had he not believed it true. But, allowing'it to be true, still it applies only to the misguided and wretched individual who is the prin- cipal subject, of it,- and not to the religion he pro- fessed^ if I have atiy knowledge of that religion. I wiil only a< ld, in reference to the anecdote, that if the insinuated ch rge is proved to he true,— if Marsden, will prove to. me, that the Catholic ' religion ( 1 blush while I write it) allows its pro- fessors t, o take way sit discretion,' avid M with a safe conscience," the lives of their Protestant neigh hours,— if he- will ' prove this to me, I pledge niyself to resign uiv ministry, and to renounce my religion . In the mean time I shall continue to eing to the re'igion of my conviction : aud under the sanction imd authority of a Church, which h is comprised, id still comprises within her pale ihe great major- ity of the christian world, shall continue to teach what; I harve hitherto taught—.

Sin,-— Having seen / he following paragraph in a publication of the Church of England Tract Society, tinder the supposition that all your read ers have not met with it, 1 shall transmit it to you, requesting that you will insert it in your next Paper. J. tc We have heard much of late years about what is very improperly called Catholic Emancipation. Now, while we should rejoice that our Roman Catholic fellow- su'bjects- do enjoy religious tolera- tion, : we should be very thankful that it is not iu their pomer to deprive us Protestants of the same blessed Privi! eges. We have seen what Popery . r/< f/ ill this Country, when it had political Power; and we seeiiwliat; it vsjnmo ' doing in those countries where it jis the; established religion. Iu Spain the horrible fiiquwl- ion is avgain setup, and religious Toleration prohibited. The Pope himself manifests, on all oc. casions, that conduct, which inust satisfy every re- fleeting man;: that Popery is still essentially the sauw^-' as it ever was ; and that wherever it obtains the power of persecution, it will never fail to exer- cise vi WO all whom it calls Heretics. Let us then be tlia'uHlfftl that our Government is too wise to yield to publi^ k ClauYour, and admit into Parliament and places of publick trust., a description of men whose princrples'must lead them to wish at least the over- throw ofour preseiit tolerant Establishment. As members of the Established Church, let us testify our gratitude to God for our distinguished privi- lege's, by a coitstaiif and diligent use of those means of. grace which she so amply furnishes us. Let us not imagine that tlie whole of instruction centers in the Preaching. If that indeed be faithfully dis- pensed we have additional cause to be thankful. But when sound Preaching is in the Mysteriorsness of Providence withheld, we ought to set the higher valui* on our Scriptural Articles, on our instructive Homilies, and on our incomparable Liturgy ; each, and all of w hich, with the pub'lick reading of the Scriptures, afford sufficient means to enlighten the mindj to comfort, the heart, and to direct tlie steps of eve. rv sjneere, en/| fiirer Vifter the truth. If these be property used, with fervent prayer for the Holy Spirit, to'teach and guide us, there can be no doubt but that our Established Church will, in every city, town* arid villag'e, be as she has been, the blessedinstrnmeut of conducting many, very many, iu all generations, to the realms of glory and ever- lasting felicity." A petition against the Catholic Claims . was transmitted to the House of Peers, last week, from Dudley, with 5774 signatures. ROMAN CATHOLICS.— The ceremony of con- secrating the Rev. Thomas Walsh, D. D. of St. Mary's College, Oseott, Coadjutor Bishop of the Midland District, to . assist the Right Rev. Dr. Milner, the present Vicar Apostolic, in the duties of his office, was performed, on Sunday week, at the Etonian Catholic Chapel, in Wolverhampton, wifh every degree of solemnity. Dr. Milner ^ officiated on the occasion, nnd the ceremonial was i attended, by the whole of the other Catholic Pre- lsites of, England and their Coadjutors. EXTIENSIVK FORGERY.— Last week a most painfulS'ensatfon was created in conseqnence of a fofgery np<^ rthe Bank of { re?- ind, to ihe amaiint « > fIti8i0| i1aving been discovered, and traced to Mr. i Edward - Ho- gaiif of Usher's Quay, Dublin, a mer- chant who had always borne a very fair character, ' and was hed in - high estimation. The distress and concern which this occurrence lias created to the . friend, s of the unfortunate man, is considerably in- - e'rea^ jB. d by the misery that it will entail upon an amialde ,\ yife and tsyelve children. The accused has, as yet, succeeded in evading the vigilance of the police, although a reward of one hundred pounds... has been offered for his apprehension. If is escape was a most extraordinary circuiifrstuncp. He was standing in the office of the genileinau whose name had been forged, when a . bill was brought bv a bank clerk, to ask if the signature was genuine ; upon which the accused took tip his hat, walked out, nnd immediately absconded.

The robbery was discovered soon after jts perpetration ; lialid- bills' were circulated, offering a reward of 50 guineas for the apprehension of the thieves, and information given to Mr. Owen, the police officer of the city. Mr. Owen had, on the previous day, met in, the streets of Hereford, a youth named Green, well- known both there and here as a most incorrigible thief, having been in the gaol in the former place, and in both our comity and city gaols, he hail little doubt therefore that he was concerned in the affair, and, accordingly, made vigilant sear. ch for him, but to no avail. However, after the lapse of a short time, he learnt that Green, in company with two other men, had been seen to quit Hereford in the direction of this city, upon which Mr. Owen immediately set off in their track On horseback. On reaching Ledbury, be found that three men, answering the description of those he was in quest of, had not long* left that place for Worcester, in a post- chaise, which they ha i taken at the Feathers inn. Mr O now came on with in- creased speed, and on entering Broad- street, he met Green, whom lie immediately handcuffed and secured, lie then obtained the aid of Saunders and Garland, two of our city police, a id, after a search of about an hour and a naif, the other two, whose names are Jones and Williams, offenders almost as ' notorious' us Green, were discover d in Quay- street, and taken into custody. The three were then removed to the City Gsiol, placed in a cell, and examined. On the whole was found pro perty . which it is pretty certain will prove to be that stolen from Mr. Spry. 0; i Green were discove ed two £ 5 and ten £ 1 notes, of Hereford and neigh- bouring banks, and a cheque for £ 6. IDs. drawn upon the Old Bank there, payable to Mr. Spry ; and on Williams and Jones, 14 silver and metal watches, watch keys, combs, and several other articles. The apprehension of this daring trio of burglars, so soon after the offence', is highly cre- ditable to all concerned. Much praise is due to Mr Owen particularly, for the alacrity and prompti- tude he displayed iu the affair ; and also to our own officers for the active and effective assistance, ' they rendered him. The early hour in the morning sit which they left Ledbury, when probably the master of the house was not up, will account, in some measure, for characters of the appearance of these fellows, being forwarded in a post- chaise, without a strict enquiry ; bat ia future we should hope more caution will be observed iu this respect. The prisoners will be removed to Hereford to- morrow. Since the foregoing was in type, upwards of a dozen more watches, tortoise- shell combs, &. C. have been found at a lodging house in.

The shepherd fearing such a trial, Was resolute in bis denial ; Till, by false friends, extremely puzzled; He let the wolves in, Strongly muzzled; Pared from each fool Was ev'ry claw, Full twenty Straps bound up each jaw ; Audeach was forced an oaili to pass, lie would eat liothiYig there but grass.

Meantime, tbe claws which had been cut, lire- v long aud sharp on ev'rv foot; Some of the straps are weak anil torn ; The rest, by length of time, are worn ; And those," though few, that now remain; Give tenfold discontent and pain, Till, as au useless, galling brand, They're all drawn oft' niih gentle hand.

[ FROM THK SPORTING MAOAZINB.] I wandered down the Dec until I came to the Celling, a pretty little liver, but so much netted that there lire few trout of any size in it; the same river tbe traveller will see as be passes through Chirk, on his way to Llangollen; after dashing through the varied and beautiful grounds of Bryu- kinallt, it falls inlo ihe Dee about a mile below. From Chirk I proceeded on lo Llanymynecb, the distance about Iwelve miles, with the intention of fishing in the Virniew the next day, hut was disap- pointed by the heavy rain that fell during the liight. Tiie river in the morning bad overflown its hanks, so that I was obliged to summon one of the necessary ingredients of a good fisherman, patience, and wail. The day following I fished in the Tannat, a smaller river, that empties itself into the Virniew, a short distance from and S. W. of Llany. 101 inch. The day was fine hut cold, the hills being covered witii snow ( Oct. 2d). I took boib trout nud samlets, the trout not lurge. As most rivers iu mountainous countries suddenly rise, so is their, fall sudden, and in wet Weather ihe ueaiei the source of a river ibe belter itate the angler will Hud the wnler in for his sport. J11 consequence, 1 agreed to go with a friend on the following day nearer the rise. We left Llanymynecb early in the morning of the 3d of October, and took tbe path 011 the hill leading to Blodwell Hall, near which three beautiful pictuiesque views present themselves: the vale of M. vvod on the left, wilh Mynydd Llyn Muwr in the distance; and turning to ihe right, another, looking over Llnnyblodwell village, with the Berwin mountains funding the horizon ; look ing backward, you see the beautiful vale of Shrop- shire, with the *" blue- topped Wrekin" iu ibe back ground — and in the middle distance of the same yieiv, on the right, " Iluw Breidden lifts his craggy front." 11 I gave one lingering look behind," and passed JRIoilwell Hall, otiee the seat of the ancestors of the Earl of Bradford, w hose property it is. The site on which stood the bouse, for little remains of its ancient grandeur, is one of tbe most beautiful situations I know, the extensive and varied view looking south and west, backed by a high craggy rock on tbe north and partly on tbe east. Near an avenue of fine trees are still seen the remains of the dog. kennel, which is watered by a fine spring- trickling from the neighbouring cliff; and as i stood contemplating, Fancy formed a picture of what tbe turn- out was in such a romantic situation u hundred \ earsago, the fineness and early time of the mom strengthening ihe imagination. Ou the pillars which supported the entrance gates is still seen the family crest. About half a mile further we come to Pont Rhys Meredvdd, a bridge which crosses the Tannat. In this part of ihe river the angler will meet with sport, both trout und samlets. The trout are not large— a pound- and- half fish is considered a good one - but they are very gamesome and strong. The stream is very rapid here. The iiy I took most fish with, was a BmafI orange one, the body made of orange silk ; wings, tips of tbe breast feathers of a eoi- k phea^ mt, and a turn of light red hackle under them. I have always found it a very killing fly in September and October: it is a fancy fly. We journeyed on to Llaurliaiadr, about twelve miles further. Tha Tannat rises amongst the Ber- vviu mountains, about four miles above Llanrhai- adr, and two above Pistill Rhaiadr, a waterfall, whose perpendicular height is 240 feet. I took trout close under the fail. This is a beautiful scene : an attempt has heen made to plant part of its banks : if I inay venture an opinion, it looks too tpuch like » nursery ground. The trees are most of 1 1 MONDAY, MAY 2 The Grosvenor Stakes of 15 sovereigns each, for all ages. Lor< l Grosvenor's h. h. Mystic, 6 yrs ( T. LYE) 1 SirT. Mostyn's b. m.

( Concluded from our last.) BONDED CORN. On the question that the House go into a Commit- tee upon the importation of foreign corn, Mr. CCRWBN asked, Whether Ministers were aware of the existence of a deficiency in the stock in the country to justify Mr. Huskiyson's proposed libera tion of the com in bond ? The HoOse having resolved itself into a Committee, Mr. HusttissON explained that his proposed measnn was to liberate the Corn in bond ( about 400,000 quarters), by instalments, on the payment of a duty of 10s per quarter; and that his principal motive was to prevent an opening of the ports on the ; l5th of August, which he hail reason to apprehend must take place ifsotfle such measure to keep down price ® were not adopted. He stated that the holders of the bonded corn themselves so carefully anticipated that event, that they were unwilling to sell at a duty of 8s but he hoped to press them by 61 lowing them an indulgence now. which be Would not propose Wallow them after the 15th of August, Whatever might be the state ot the market, lie also proposed to liberal about 26,000 quarters of Canada wheat now iu the country upon pitynient of a duty of 5s. aud to ajlow the. free importation of such wheat in future at that duty.— The Right Hon. Gent, concluded by moving the two following resolutions u That it is the opinion of this Committee, that all corn nnd wheat flour ( not being the produce of the British Colonies and Plantations in North America) now warehoused, and which was warehoused upon the importation thereof, on or before tbe 18th day oi May, 1822, shall tie admitted to entry tor home con sumption, at the times and in the proportions follow- ing : that is to say, " One third of each of the several quantities of such corn or wheat flour belonging to the respective proprietors, between the 15th day of May and the 15th day of June, 1825. " One other third of such quantities between the said 15th day of June and the 15th day of July fol- lowing; and the remainder of such quantities be- tween the said 15th day of July and the 15th day of August following; and that upon the entry of any such corn to be taken out of the warehouse for home consumption, within the respective times and in the respective proportions hereinbefore mentioned, there be paid the duties hereinafter mentioned, in lieu of | all other duties thereon : that is to say, For every quarter of Wheat £ 0 10 0 For every quarter of Rve, Peas, aud Beans 0 6 6 For every quarter of Barley, Beer, or Bigg... 0 For every quarter of Oats 0 For every cwt. of Flour 0 44 That it is the opinion of this Committee that all prohibitions and restrictions now iu force, and ( hat all duties now payable upon the importation - of, wheat, the produce of aud imported from the Biitisl Colonies and Plantations in North America, shall cease and determine; aud that in lieu of all sucli duties there be paid ou tbe importation of such wheat a duty of 5s. for every quarter thereof.'* After a conversation of some length, in which Mr. BARING hinted at the probability of American ( United States) wheat finding its way into this country, under the above regulation, as British Colonial Wheat, both resolutions were carried without auv division. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. The subject of the Combination Laws was intro- duced by Mr. CARTWITIGHT ; who, in presenting a Petition from the Manufacturers of Northampton , complaining of the repeal of those laws, inquired whether it was the intention of the President of the Board of Trade to propose any tneiisure on th subject ? Mr. HUSKIS$ ON stated " that it was already tindei the consideration of a Committee up stairs ; but that there was no intention in that Committee lo propose any Pleasure to prevent the workmen from combin- ing to consider an: d agree upon what Wages they ought ! o RPC'eive. At present their conduct WRB SO , different from this, however, that it became abso- lutely necessary to strip t. liem of all power beyond that exten'. They not only combined in not vvotk- hut they presumed to dictate tb their masters j • ' PV* should and Whom they should not i He should be Hie last mini to ' propose the euhctnii nt of the dill Combination Laws. He was for every than carrying his lab'ohr to the best market; but as he thought tlic tyranny of the nia. i » | Was vioi'^ e than the tydihny of ilie leiiv, lie saw everV reason for changing the existing slate of things^ which really threatened to destroy the peace and prosperity of the nation. It was absolutely neces siiry to dtvise sdiive li'iodt of dealing with t fie hi."—• [ This necessity Was acknowledged by a I most every Member present; filld as it was expressly declared thai there was ho intention of Interfering in any way with Benefit Societies, there is no doubt that what- ever measure may be brought in to repress the evils of combination will meet with general approbation.] The Resolutions moved by Mr. Hu> kissoh on Monday, relatively to Botided and Canadian Corn, re then reported and ordered to be made into a Bill. WiW i During the passage of the Herald to the West todies, the Lord Bishops of Jamaica and Barbadoes preached every Sunday morning and afternoon to the officers and crew of that ship. It was certainty the first time that two English Kisbbps ever voy- aged togetbh- in a British mail of war* to take possession of their benefices; and this exercise of their solemn functions presented what no pulpit in England ever did— two Bishops preafchin£ tb the same congregation in one day. An old bachelor, bamed Williarh Gait, died lately in Virginia, leaving property, abcoiding tb his tiivh estimate, amounting to 756,000 dollars (£ l5^, h' 00 sterling). He emigrated from Scotland in 1775, aiid commenced trading with a pedlar's pack. At that time he did not own an acre of soil ; but in 1825 he could ride 15 miles in a straight linfe on his own ground. The resignation made to Government by the Levant Company of their exclusive charter, is matter of notoriety. The particulars oF the transaction are less notorious; and the importance of it but insuffi- ciently appreciated.— It will be recollected that a considerable change was made in the situation of our Foreign Consuls, by Mr. Canning, about the time it was first thought of recognizing the lirdepeudence of the Spanish American States. Up to that period t jie Consuls of the Levant Company had been paid by the Companv itself^ but Government then assumed the task of appointing and remunerating them. The concerns of a private . Company could not well be managed by public officers, without some clashing of interests. Hence, we presume, originated the idea i> f siit rendering' the charter of the Levant Com- pany to Government, and, through that surrender, of throwing- o| ien the Coinmeroe of tlie Mediterranean to all the subjects of tlie Govertimeiit. The, project has novv been executed. A meeting of the Company was called in February last; Mr. Canning's letter oh the assumption hy Government of the mainte- natiee of the Consuls was read; Lord Grenviije, the Governor of tile Cbmpany, in a speech replete with political wisdom, proposed the surrender, to which the Company, both by consent aud conviction, Ceded ; and the affair terminated.

It appears tliat the exports from this settlement from January to December, 1823* amount to the very large sum of Fire Millions five hundred and sixty eiqht thousand fire hundred and sixty Spanish dollar< ! The trade consists of five distinct branches,— that with Great Britain, wilh Bengal, and other parts of Western India, Witty.

These papers more than corroborate the views of Mr. Crawford, aiid lo'rae Other subsequent wituesfcefc, examined by the Lords' Committee on Foreign Trade, as to the increasle of which the commerce with the Indian Isles was susceptible. These are the mines which will repay the expense of exploring.

Of this large export, the greaier part has been to France, viz.— of gold, 907,048 ounces: of silver, 4^ 083,978 ounces. Holland stands next to France in the quantity of gold it has received, 108,864 ounces baring been sent timber in 1824 ; Brazil uexi in the quantity of silver, 2,314,607 ounces having been sent thither on account, we suppose, of the loan transac- tions. It thus appears that of the gold exported in the last year, nine elevenths were sent to France, and one eleventh to Holland. Of the silver, nearly one- Imlf was. sent to France— and the total value sent to that country was about four millions and a half sterling. These accounts do not exhibit the imports ( which are m> t to be ascertained at the Custom- house), but it is qu- He impossible that any considerable import of specie could have been going on at the time of so large au exportation.

Gold Trinkets were very much in demand, and in this branch ibe jewellers Had an assortment or very tasteful articled: tbe sale proves that tHey fconiiuue more and more lo obtain the preference to those of base metal, which in large towns are used only" by the lower class. Ihhe next autumnal fair promises to be equally favourable to the retail dealers. CAUTioft AGAINST S^ YINJ> LERS.— A rjenfle- jiian, passing as Mr. Douglas, Earl Douglas, ike. lifts beeii recently carrying on his swindling piactices in the North of Eiigiand to a great extent, and as he may hie very shortly travelling in this part of the country we subjoin an extract from a Northern paper, w hich we . trust will operate as a caution to our readers, shod Id the same gentleoan favour them with his ordersAbout a month since, a Doiiglctif obtained a horse frohi. Mr. A'iiisworthy but it was recovered the following week ; there are others, who have not bben so forth mite. This Douglas is one of the most accomplished swindlers that lias figured away ' k long time. A confederate travels with him, dressed in lively, iitfd the nuiiiher of persons they have defrau< led of money and pro- perty is amazing. They have gone into different parts of the country ; and Dougtas has been repre- sented as a man of family, property, arid large expectations. He has hired expensive lodgings^ lived in most extravagant style; ordered aiid ob- tained possession of splendid and costly goods of the neighbouring trades- people, borrowed money of respectable persons, and contracted heavy debts with wine merchants, butchers, bakers, and others, - As soon as his credit had begun to sink, he Contrived to decamp, first levying a heavy contribution from coach- makers and horse dealers. He has hitherto eluded the vigilance and indignatioii iif his incensed dupes. He went sotne time since to Longbridge, near Ambleside, and stayed there six months with his wife, and the man in livery. He left a- very i heavy accumulation of debt in that neighbourhood. Douglas has committed similar eccentric freaks in Boulogne, Scarbotough^ nnd Beverley. In one place he called himself Kail Douglas, by w lileh bee*, one rated the pnrse bf a gentlemaii of about £ 51) 0 There is reason to believe that his wife has £ 3tk) per annum in her own power. It is said she is the daughter of a respectable Clergyman in or near Bath."— BnltoH Paper. The worthies, whoeutsucti a CbnSpieittius figure in the above paragraph, honoured. Warwick hb a visit, and after cutting a grerit dash, and giving numerous orders to several tradesmen, they suddenly left the toivii one morning last week, before the crowing of the Cock, in a stylish equipage ( brought in the dead of the night), leaving their Warwick friends minus £ 50. DF^ TRUCTIVE FISLE IN DUBLIN.—. About twb o'clock On Thursday itiorning, the warehouses at the rear of Mr. Daniel's house,, in Mary- street, were discovered to be on fire. The whole of the extensive warehouses and the houses adjoining, in which there was a vast deal of property, are con- sumed. The ravages of the destructive element extend to the entrance warehouse in Stafford- streit, which is also burnt down. On Wednesday morning, live of the criminals who had heen brought from the gaol at Bridewell to that in Aberdeen, for trial at the ensuing circuit, broke out of prison. The plan was concerted be- tween tlie prisoners in two of the cells, and some accomplices from without, by whom a crow- bar was attached to a cord let down from a window, to which it was thereby drawn up, and introduced bj ail opening niade, part of the iron staunehion being previously cut through, and a piece of stained Wood substituted. From this the crow- bar was conveyed' to Ihe room above, known from its strength and security by the name of the Stock room, then occu- pied by three delinquents, one named Coutts, and two Stirling, brothers. The depredators set about th^ ir Herculean task, breaking through a thick wall, of Solid masonry, to the passage leading to other parts 6f the prison. They proceeded to liberate their accomplices in the room below, where there Were three strong chains by which the door is secured, hut thi& Avas overcome, by means of spring saws, with which the chains were completely cut through. The party had now received an addition of five to their numbers, and raised the strong sWne arch forming the floor of the apartment, removing stories which no inan cbtild move from its place. After jumping down six or eight feet, they came to the ceiling forming the roof of tlie great lobby or Entrance to the Court- house and gaol. Having made an aperture sufficient to let them down, they attached to the joists blankets knotted together, by which they descended to the lobby, broke two Iftige panes in a window, arid gained the street At this moment* the keeper of the Court- house, alarmed by the noise, hastened t<> si& rertnin the cause, when he discovered the five deliuqttents riiaking their exit from the window, without the possibility of his preventing their Escape. The alarm spread rapidly, and an active puriuit bf two of the fugitives tOok place, and they were taken. The other three? got clear oft; A serious accident happened a few days since at Sudbiooke, Suffolk, to Sir Richard Sutton's game- keeper, named Denman. He was in the act of charging two air guiis, and had already filled one, rind was proceeding with the second, when his father, who stood by, made some remark,' and the keeper turning his head from the position he had been in when pumping, to give an answer, tbe gun at that moment burst, and a part of it made a large incision under his jaw, shattered his teeth, and knocked him down. The broken piece entered the ceiling of the room. Had he not at the moment ttirned bis head from over the gun, it is supposed lie would have been killed on the spot. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.— On Tuesday after- noon, the 26th ult. about six o'clock, a most dreadful catastrophe happened at ibe New lode pendent Chapel, erecting at Back Green, in Hud dersfield. The carpenters and masons were busily employed at the height of 51 feet, in fixing the roof; and when in the act of drawing up a large beam of timber, a plank, of unusual length, on which a number of the men were standing, without aViy support in the cenire, broke iu two, and one of the bearers giving way, the scaffold came down with a tremendous crash, and upwards of sixteen men were precipitated into tbe body of ihe chapel. Two of them died soon after they were taken away from the place; another died about twelve the same night; many are hurt in different degrees^ and several escaped by clinging to the walls. A melancholy accident happened on Thursday morning* about eight o'clock, in Albany street, North Leith. A number of men have been em- ployed for some time iu sinking a well there, and after having sunk to the deplh of 40 feet without obtaining water, they then bored to the depth of 60 feet, and as two of them were so employed at the bottom of the well, it filled with foul air, when one of tbem was fortunately got out without re- ceiving much injury, but the olher, James Cleugh, was not got up until upwards of two hours, when he was quite dead. He has left a widow and nine children. The celebrated traveller, M. Denon, died ou Thursday week, in Paris, almost suddenly. Oil , coming away from the sale of the pictures of IV1.

PREVENTIVE OF SCARLET FEVER.— The Lancet informs us of an important medical dis- covery iu Germany: extract of belladonna has been found generally to render persons unsuscepti ble of the fever in places where it is raging Medi cal men of character and in official situations have tried the experiment in various parts of Germany, chiefly bv giving the medicine to a number of children as soon as the disease appeared in the place where they lived. In nearly all the cases de- tailed in thirteen different reports, the children, though purposely allowed to mix with the infected patients, wholly escaped the fever; and in the few who took it, ihe disease appeared only in a very mild form The quantity to be given of the extract is a 20th part of a grain, morning and evening. Mr. Lambton has purchased Cedrie of Sir John Shelley for £ 2500. IMPORTANT TO COACH- MASTER^.— The Conrt of King's Bench decided, on Thursday week, that a coach- proprietor was responsible for all parcels committed to his charge, although he might have advertised in the newspapers that he would not be accoiii table for any parcels above a certain value^ unless paid for accordingly. This was decided not to be a sufficient notice; arid the Learned Chief Justice suggested; that a coticH prbjnieltir ought to give every person briiiging a parcel a small paper containing thai notification. At the Chester Assises, ait action was tried ( Hunt r. Ward), tb recover damages from Ihe defendant, a magistrate, for falsely imprisoning the sort of tbe plaintiff.

The following are its most important clauses : Agreeably lo the useful and convenient mode- recently adopted, that of collecting all the existing laws tipon any practical subject in one statute, and keeping it so collected, by repealing, in every case of amendment, the former Act, and embodying both' the former layv and the amended, clauses in one next statute- the first clause in the New Bankrupt Act about lo be passed repeals all the former Bankrupt Acts* from t:- o 34th of Henry VIII. down to the Act of the 5th of Geo, IV. that is^ ih the last Session of Parliament The object of the second clause in the stalute is, to define what shall be an act uf trading, or what shall constitute a trader, so as to biing him under the Bankrupt Laws. The New Act, iu this respect, merely copies Ihe clause from the Old Acts of Eliza- beth and James, and George If. Under the Old Laws there were only five Acts of Bankruptcy, Which Were— the trader's departing the realm — the departing the dwelling- house, or otherwise absenting himself from lits lious'e and bii> iness— the keeping house ( lHai i^, being denied to a creditor) — the lyiiig in prison iwU months— aiidf the transfer of all a tradei's property. The New Act malies it an Act of Bankruptcy to be 21 days in prison just* ad of two months, and then adds three other Acts of Bankruptcy, namely : first, a petition to ihe Insolvent Court to take the benefit of the Insolvent Act. Secondly, a deelaiation of insolvency by the bankrupt himself lett at the Bankrupt Office, provided a commission lie issued within two months. And, thirdly, a trader's compounding with a peti- tioning creditor, afier a docket st'uck against him. The second net of bankruptcy is understood to lie the suggestion of the Lord Chancellor, and its intention is to enable a fair- dealing trader, who sees himself in actual cireumslauc# s of insolvency, to declare himself a bankrupt, aud of thus procuring an ( Equal distribution of his efleet's, instead of having them seized, in detail, by small creditors. We thiuk this a grertt improvement in thfc old law. By ltie New Act, the concert beiwieri a creditor arid a debtor to take biit a docket* no longer inva- lidates the commission. Tlie amount of the petition- ing creditor's debt is the same as under the old law : namely, £ 100 by One creditor— or £ 150 it' two peti- tioners— and £ 200 if ihr » e or more, or a lid! to that amount, due or not due, or a debt upon ac- count. There are two or three clauses introduced to remove the inconveniences, in future, of such cases as the joint and separate corn missions' against Fauntlero. y and his partners. By ihe New Act, the certificate to discharge the person and future effects of t'r. e bankrupt must be Signed by four- fifths iii number and value of the creditors above £ 20; but if the certificate be delayed' six months after the last examination, then only three. fifths iii number arid value are required, or 1 nine- tenth* iii - number without any regard to the value. This last clause is directed agaiiist ihe possible obstinacy of any single creditor. The Act concludes by a further new clause, of great importance; namely, if nine- tenths in number and value of creditors agree to accept a composition,: it shall bind lite rest. But this only extends to cases where a commission has actually b^> eu sued out.
