As for' worth, it was is if they did not possess it; but where for virtue and true patriotism, if not the Reformers? As to property, in when every shilling was ground At part, few indeed had sufficient to tuts of life, and many were literally unger. Was this caused by the Re ! bet by those who needed to be re lo talent, let the deficiency of that be a steady, persevering, zeal, by which ruin a Radical Reform in the People's liament, erroneously called the House If that had existed, they would not leplore the bloody scenes of Petersfield, :ers to have signified their haughty ap the deed. A radical change in the immons was the only relief to which they the only thing which could release them -ensure under which they laboured—the 'hich could replace them in the once- Instances of Englishmen; and this was ktained by Annnal Parliaments, lini ige, and Vote by Ballot.

The Exeter Quarter Sessions commenced to-day at the Guildhall, before the Recorder, Wm. Cott's- TBIAT, Esq. who, in his address to the Grand Jury, 'after noticing the state of the Calendar, proceeded as follows: " Never, Gentlemen, have I had occasion to ad dress you under circumstances which furnished so much matter for serious consideration as those of the present day; doctrines are fearlessly and openly main tained, which in their necessary result must leact 7 to the destruction of every principle that can be relied epon to give security or happiness to individuals, or to maintain the peace and tranquillity of the country. I have said, openly maintained. This, indeed, is a peculiar feature of the present times. It was re served to the Reformers of this day to strike avowedly at the root of that religion, upon the maintenance of which we have hitherto believed that the welfare of mankind in a great measure depends, and to counsel, in direct and unequivocal terms, the destruction by force of those institutions which the labours of our free-born and enlightened ancestors, in the brightest period of our history, have contributed to - form. Those who have had occasion to see the publications which have issued froni the Press within the last two months, will feel that I do not colodr this statement too highly. But lam willing to believe that poi-on so undisguised must carry its antidote with it. Few, indeed, will, I trust, be found prepared to adopt the doctrines to which I allade, when presented to view in their true light and character. But it is against the occurrence of - a similar evil by more insidious approaches, against a danger not less certain, although somewhat less obvious, that it becomes necessary to guard. It may not, therefore, be altogether useless to examine a little the course pursued by those against, whose machinations I would wish to guard those for whose welfare I am particularly interested. In the first place, by a circulation much more wide than has been generally imagined, of publications in a cheap form, the mass of the people are encouraged, and taught to treat with indifference, if not with contempt, 'all obligations of the religion in which they have been brought up; the instructions to whisk they have been accustomed to look with reverence, are held up to ridicule; and the Ordinances of Goo are violated and opposed by flattering appeals to the fallible reason of men : upon minds thus prepared, all evil impressions are withottt difficulty made. The labour ingclasses of society are told, that the inequality of conditions, by which they are the sufferers, is alto gether unnecessary; and that the sy-aem of subordi nation and government, under which this country has hitherto been placed, is nothing more than a scheme devised for the purpose of giving wealth and ease to a few, at the expense of more industrious and deserving multitudes. Meetings are called in various], parts of the country, at which immense numbers are' drawn together, fot the professed pus pose of peace ably remonstrating on the necessity of Reform in one branch of the Legislature: without engaging ourselves in an inquiry, whether upon any particular occasion this has or has not been the real purpose of of those who take the lead at such Meetings, let us rather consider what are the obvious and almost ne cessary consequences of them? Surely we must be wilfully blind and fool-hardy, if we can view without alarm, the repeated Meetings of large multitudes composing altogether an immense mass of physical force, placed in a great degree at the disposal of, and prepared to follow the dictates of those who do not hesitate to avow their desire to see the physical force of the many employed to serve their triumph over what they are pleased to call the usurped autho rity of the few; surely it is no sign of timidity to feel that the time is come, when it behoves every man to use his best endeavours to avert the impending evil, and to lend his support whe re it is now wanted-, in aid of the Constituted Authorities of the country. I am aware that in this County, and in this City, we have fortunately less cause for apprehension than in most parts of the Kingdom. But, when the plague rages in our neighbourhood, it is impossible to feel secure from the contagion, and the evils attendant upon any measure which could be resorted to for the cure of the mischief, if one suffered to exist--one so great, that it is the imperative duty of every good citizen to labour anxiously for its prevention. There is, indeed, no man in any station of life who has not some duty to perform, an attention to which may be of importance at the present crisis. You, Gentlemen, and those friends who move in the same sphere of life with you, are placed in a situation of much re• sponsibility. You have families looking up to you for examples as well as instruction—you have ap prentices, journeymen, servants, dependent upon you in various relations : these form an important part of the popAation of this ancient City. Upon their con duct you have, or ought to have, a material influence. Do not hesitate to exert this. Do not suffer them to be Lost for want of a little tr ouble on your part. Upon that most important source of improvement which depends upon a constant attention to religions duties, I am sure I need not enlarge : and beautifully and powerfully as this obligation has upon a late occa sion been enforced in this City, it would be an use less waste of your time to dilate upon this topic.— But there are other means by which you are enabled materially to influence the conduct of those who may be in any way dependent upon you. When they are in danger of beireg seduced by the captivating habits of idleness or pleasure, let them learn from precepts aid your example, the advantages to be derived from sobriety and diligent attention to their business. If you find them assailed by the seductive language of sedition or blasphemy, call upon them seriously to examine the doctrines which are thus offered to their attention, to try them by the test of their practical effect ; and to judge for themselves whether those who would lead them by a new path are better fathers, better husbands, bettermasters, more success ful in their pursuits of active life, or more respectable in age, than those who arc still contented to fear their Gov and honour the King? If the specious pretext for Reform appears to make an impression upon your youthful a cquaintances, ask them whether they seri ously believe, that the adoption of Annual Parlia ments and Universal Suffrage will find a better mar ket for our manufactures, give better wages to our labourers, or remove any of those real evils, the exist ence of which we all must admit and deplore, and which idleness and turbulence must of necessity tend to continue and increase? When the sacred name of liberty shall be p rostituted to entrap the Unwary, • . . - conjure arose to whom this bait is held out, to pause before they suffer themselves to be deluded by it ; teach them that true liberty' has never yet been found 10 result from violent or illegal resistance to esta blished laws ; that it consists not in a freedom from all restraint, but in the security cf property, the pro tection of the person, whether of the Peer or the Pea sant, and in the impartial administration of justice; and then ask them, if it. is probable that these objects would be better attained, it the schemes of pur mo• dern Reformers were suffered to succeedl Teach them also, that that British Constitution, the name, of which is ever in the mouth of those who s:ek to destroy its spirit, has established the gradation of ranks in society ; that the frame of that Constitution is formed to uphold the dignity of a King, and to maintain the legitimate authority of those to whom power is intrusted, no less than to preserve inviolate the rational liberty of the People. When the vision ary scheme of perfect equality is introduced, a::d your poorer neighbours are in danger of being se• duced by the prospect of sudden change of a life of want and labour, to the enjoyment of ease and plenty, address yourself to their piaia understandings, explain to them the consequences which must inevitably fol low from that destruction of established authority, and lead them to reflect what must be the state of that society in which .there would exist no authority but that which the bold and ambitious would un questionably assume to themselves over the meek and the humble—no power but that of the young and the strong over the aged and the feeble ; and ask them to judge for themselves, what sort of security such a state of things would afford to the earnings of honest industry, or even to the peaceable enjoyment of life? There are a few, indeed, who, if their minds be once brought calmly to consider these things, will, not shrink foam making the experiment. Such, Gentle men, are some of the modes by which those who wish well to their country may now assist in counteracting the evil designs which are entertained against her peace. That such designs are entertained by some, we are not now left to doubt ; the end proposed, in plain and daring language, is, not an amendnient, but an entire change in the system and form of Go vernment—not reform and peace, but revolution and civil war. The means recommended are the employ ment of force and a recurrence to the physical strength of the people. I know that such a scheme is not sanctioned by any persons of talent or wealth, or of natural weight in the country : but I know also, that publications recommending it are dispersed and read with avidity by soma• in every corner of the kingdom ; and when I see such a mass of combustible matter preparing, I cannot doubt the necessity of keeping a watchful eye to prevent the fatal explosion. You will have to decide whether James Tucker is to be put Upon his trial for selling pamphlets charged to contain blasphemous and seditious matter ? To discuss, in aslecent manner, any controverted point in our Religion, is perfectly allowable to all ; but the Christian Religion is incorporated with, and forms a part of, the common' law of England. You will examine the papers or pamphlets which may be submitted to you, and will form you rown judgment as to their true character. You will have to consider whether the individual charged appears to have pub lished them, or either of them ? Upon this point . I will only remark to you, that not only he who first gives a writing to the Public, but being one who ac tively assists in circulating, or giving publicity to it, is a publisher in the eye of the law, and may be treated as such in an indictment."

Wednesday, a large party of rank and fashion dined at Trentham, the scat of the Marquis of STAFFORD, on the event of the visit of his Serene Highness Prince LEOPOLD at that mansion. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—A few days since Mrs. Duas, of Ford, near Arundel, observed a favourite cat fighting with a neighbour's cat, and in attempt ing to part them, both of the animals flew at her, and fixed themselves on her person before she was ena bled to extricate herself from their fangs. The cir cumstance threw Mrs. DUKE into fits, which lasted two days, when she expired. REMARKABLE Evzsr.—Thursday, Mr. IZARD, a most extensive merchant in Brighton, and well known for his having accumulated a large fortune within the las: twenty-five years, died suddenly. Three weeks antecedent to his death, he called upon a Clergyman, with a request that he would preach a sermon from the 13th chapter of Judges, verses 21, 22, and '23, observing, that an impression had been made upon his mind, so far back as ten years, re specting that part of the Bible. Accordingly, on Sunday last, the Rev. Mr. FAITHFUL preached a sermon from those words, which Mr. IZARD listened to with much attention, and on its conclusion, he fell into a fit, -which finally terminated his existence. MURDER OF SPANISH OFFICERS.--From the Fla. , vannah Papers.—A Circular of Don Pezula, the Vice- Roy of Peru, and General Orders to the Army of Lima, announce the receipt of intelligence (published some time ago in The Star), that thirty more of the -Spanish prisoners, captured by the Insurgents in the battle of Maypo, had been wantonly massacred on the Sth of February last, and requiring of the Chiefs of the Vice-Royalty to send to hini a list of all the pri soners in their districts, assuring them, that as soon as the will of the King could be known, the manes of their slaughtered countrymen would be appeased by a just and rigid retaliation on the partizans of their murderers ; in the mean time requiring them to treat their prisoners with humanity. The Officers massa cred arc stated to bo--one Brigadier-General, three Lieutenant-Colonels, and thirty-five Officers df other grades.

A renewal of the great shooting ntatch between Captain Tnotuortu., and STRONG. the Keeper of J. A. Tome; Esq. of Melbourne, Oxon, took place on Thursday ; and from the con fidence of the parties, after shooting an equal number of heads of game on Monday, in Hertfordshire (27 each), the match be.. came very interesting in the sporting world, and the bet was doubled between Mr. THORN, for his Keeper, and the Captain. The spot selected to start from on this match was within fotr miles of Maidenhead Thicket, on the road to Oxford, and each had his poney, and his adveraary's friend-as an umpire. Captain Tnoannitt bent his course towards Hare Hatch, on the Read ing road, and had good pleasant sport, and from thence on to Hurst Manor, &c. a distance of about 26 miles. He had 32 shots, and bagged 11 pheasants, 14 partridges, and, five hares. STRONG directed his course towards Henley Mills, by the late General CONWAY ' S Park, and from thence he crossed the'fbames to the Oxfordshire hills, and closedphis day's labour there. Ile bagged nine hares, 17 partridges, and three phe7.sants, in 28 shots, and lost the match by one only. There were some heavy even bets.
