Mr. Hume csuclustes: by proposing " The Liberty of the Press." Mr. JEFFULY, in rising to propose a toast, said, that ithough the subject of it had been glanced at by two of teGeldettien who had preceded him, he could not with pinkie abstain from adverting to it a little snore mi serly. as it was deeply important in itself, and in timately connected with the purpose of the present meet i.g. Ile alluded to the repeal of the Combination Laws, Ilia had been effected chiefly by the exertions of the Gentleman who sat on the right-hand of the Chair. Lis subject derived its interest partly from the nature tithe laws which had been repealed, and partly from tie mischievous combinations which had resulted— iwikatally, and in part, but not legitimately, from Snit repeal. The laws to which. he referred bad long • a blot on the Statute-Book of tke realm, and were :pealed after the fullest enquiry •in Parliament, with out iiiposition, and without dissent (tom any quarter. et itself was no slight proof of the barbarous clia rater,f those statutes. Their repeal was the re•ult of laborious enquiries by a Committ.e of Parliament, in shith alarge body of master manulactuters alai others, who might be supposed to be chiefly interested in per retuning the abuse, had been examined; and it watt a irmaikable circumstance, that out of about a hundred persons win) had been examined with the view, perhaps, of propping op the evil, only six or seven lid been favourable to their continuance, while all tile rest were decisively hostile to their existence.— Those minims, besides other pernicious qualities, had a bighted spit it, which tended more. perhaps, by gene rating feelings of jealousy and distrust among the opt utiies, than by any positive and direct operation, is Crewing the nature of their labour, to produce that tf. , cord and animosity between them and their em- . [icyers, which was utterly destructive of that kindness and co-operation which was essential to the prosperity s: all. He did not believe that, in general, the effect of any arrangements amr,ng the masters tended materially to depress the rate of wages below the proper level.— 'the chief mischief connected with them was the ran emus feeling which was engendered among the la hoiein4 classes, by denying to them this privilege of 'milady adopting measures for protecting their ih terests. This led them to form secret cabals and combinations, in which they acquired habits and leeluigs which reduced them almost to the condi tien of desperate outlaws. The abolition of such sta iotes wits therefore one of the proudest triumphs of the many triumphs which Mr. Hume had won. But the abolition had been effected only a few short months, when, unfortunately, a fearful and diabolical s-t of combinations arose throughout the country. nese started up, unhappily in point of time, no doubt as legal-tied the genuine merits of-the abolition, but still Lot materially: Every one in any degree acquainted itith human nature must be aware, that the entire re niuval of restrictions, which had long galled a numerous class of such persons, could scarcely fail to produce some commotion among them. He was inclined, with the Gentleman who had already alluded to the subject, to ascribe much of this to ignorance, misrepresentation, and to that dark course of secret intrigue in which they had been trained, which had been engendered under the taws which fettered them from seeking a legal re medy for their grievances in the face of day—and the seeds and germs of which could only be exterminated by the utter abolition of the restrictive laws. He had no doubt that every right thinking person would asst ibe hex unfortunate irregularities to these causes, and not to the measure of abolition, which only became mere imperatively necessary from the nature of the combi 11:4tonsi derived chi e fly f rorr i t h e a b o li s hed restrictions. the worst and most disgusting feature, however, of these combinations was the gross inconsistency of the infatuated men who embarked in them. They were trot satisfied with the freedom which had been marked out for them by the distinguished individual who was now present. They aimed at the establishment of the gros,est ~n d most hideous tyranny that can be imagined, wheel sme ol thole very principles of liberty which the gislature, in its wisdom and benignity, had awarded to th em Not co ntente d w i t h t h e f ree d om to carr y t h e i r ow n industry and skill to the best market they could which they had t h us o b ta i ne d, t h ese m i sgu id e d' men Lad dared to deny to others that liberty which they themselves had Claimed as their right. They had car- y vied their purposes into effect by intimidation, by anon, and by murder. And could they imagine that such pro ceedings could meet with the support or approbation of uny good, or wise, or sane man ? Could they suppose that 11r. Hume, who had struggled for their emancipa tion, would join with them in imposing shackles upon others —upon those whose kindness and protection, and union with whom, in their respective spheres, the general prosperity depended? It would not, in a company such as this, be breathed, that any countenance could be given to such practices-or such principles; or that any toleration could be given. For himself, and he was not a:together unknown to hit country (Great cheering), he would not be suspected of indifference to the rights of the people; but he could not abstain on this, and on every occasion that presented itself, from expressing, in the most unequivocal terms, his strong disapprobation of the practices which had lately produced so much distraction in the country. He said this as the friend of the labouring classes—as their advocate—and if his counsels could have any in filence, he would beseech the deluded then to abstain horn the ruinous and dan gerous course in which they had embarked. It was incumbent on the friends of liberal principles to speak otiz-for the enemies of liberal principles would not fail to take advantage of these unhappy delu.ions and errors, as furnishing reasons for the re-enactment of those statutes, which he was convinced were the chief cause of the evils that they all deplored.— He misted, however, that a wiser and mote lenient: course would be followed, and that, after the brief sea son af trouble, which he hoped, was now nearly over; after the seasoning fever, as it had been cared, on first touching a land of liberty, the labouring classes would return to that just and reasonable course of conduct, which alone could save them from the restoration of of those chains which have recently been btoken. Mr. Jeffrey co.icluded by giving. "The Freedam of Labour; but let the Labourer recollect, that, in exercising the freedom of his own rights, he cannot be permitted to viola . e the rights of ott.ers." hAILTkCIUAkEi: LA* COURT OF iiiNC% 1361C1i, Navirksza 19. FROM THE TRINIDAD OAZETTE, SEPTEMBER 21. 1 We cannot conceive any event better calculated to display the Omnipotence of the DEITY, arid the titter insignificance of all human power, than Close con vulsions of nature which frequently level the Proudest edifices with the ground, overwhelm whole cities in one confused mass of ruin, and, in the midst of \fanCied security, plunge their entire population into eternity. A visitation of this description was experienced by this Colony last night. According to the time on the town clock, at a quarter past nine o'clock, and according to the mean time, by Captain Lawrence, of his Majesty's ship Eden's chronometer, at a quarter of an hour before ten. The direction of the shock appeared generally to be from east by north, to west by south, although in many places it would seem to have been almost due north and south. It came on with little if any rumbling noise; cr other usual indications of earthquake. As to its duration there appears to be almost as many opinions as there are persons; thirty seconds appear to be the shortest time ascribed to it, but we have heard many well informed persons contend that it lasted three! minutes. We have not heard that any chasm or opening of the ground was cor e.l ; nor does the pavement of the streets appear to be in any instance disjointed. It appeared not to have arrived at its 11111 strength until some seconds before it subsid. d entirely. Had it continued with the same vio!ence a few seconds longer we are persuaded that few stone houses in the town of Port of Spain would have stood the shock. Scarcely a house in town has e:caped .damage ; many ate rent to such a degree as to render them uninhabitable without considerable danger. The upper part of the gable ends of several horses on the east side of Fr ederick.stri et fell down ; in every part of the town, sheds and wails are levelled, and accounts of clock, fallen ft on] their stands, wihe and other livers in bottles, china and glass broken, are innumerable. In many instances tables, bedsteads, and wirer h avy articles of furniture were temoved from their places or turned round. T e seat of his Ex':ellency the Governor of St. Ann's, has suffered severely, and issaid to be rent and di,j anted in several places. The servants' apartments are also greatly injured, and a considerable quantity of glass ware is broken. That neat and elegant building our Protestant Church is considerably damaged. The top of the N. W. pin nacle of the north tower was precipita•ed to the ground, and fell several yards to the westward of the foot of the tower; a part of the S.W. pinnacle fell on the roof of the church, and, forcing through, dislodged one of the rafters, which falling into the body of the building, destroyed threa of the pews. The two pinnacles to the eastward are completely shattered. The tower itself is completely rent through in several places-and the town clock is so much injured that it must undergo a thorough repair. The pinnacles of the south tower are also very seriously injured, mid some of the buttresses are cracked. The buildings intended to be converted into a new Court-house are considerably damaged ; and the present Court-house has already received several trifling rents. The chimney of the ig Rookery," the residence of Henry Fuller, E,q. his Majesty's Attorney-General, fell down, together with many others in town. The new Roman Catholic Church appears to have escaped entirely; and in the east end of King street little damage has been sustained. In the market-place, several galleries were thrown down, and the house of the clerk of the market seriously injured. The houses of Mr. Cipriani, and that occupied by Messrs. Wolt ond, Johnson, and Co. are rendered uninhabitab'e. The up- I per part of the gable of the house occupied by Dr. Anderson, sen. in Frederick street, tell tor the roof and .shattered the whole of the extensive shed in the Venduc yard. And the south gable uf the adjoining house occupied by John Edmonson, E.q. also fell. lii the same street the roof of Mrs. Feil's Louse experienced a like fate, by the falling c f part of the gable of the ad joining house. In the two Apothecary Stores in Frede rick-'street, considerable damage was sustained by breakage; and.the roof of a large back store of Messrs. Corrie, M'Allister, and Company, entirely fell in. So far as the accounts which have been received from the country go, the shock appears to have been general throughout the island. A Uentleman resident ac Chag- the Buenos Ayres m:il of Saturday is said to have Dimas was shaken out of his bed ; and the chimney of brought from Chile the stipulated sum for the dividend the boiling house on the Streatham Lidge estate, Ta- on the Chile Loan, negotiated in London. carigna was shaken down, and also several of the negro Don MANUEL SARATEN, the expected Minister from houses.

This was an indictment again,t the defendant, fOr refusine to serve the rffice of Constable of the parish of St. Birtholometw the Great, in the City of Lindon; to which he was aopcinted at a Court Let holden for the Manar. At the tri.,l belote the L.)rd ChitlJast:ce, it Guildhall, it appeared that the defendant, who was a printer, had an establishment in the parish for the purposes of business, held at an annual rent of fifty pounds, Where he did not sleep, but ss here he attended daily, and was rated to the church and poor. A ver dict of guilty was taken, stet ject to the opinion of the Court on the question whether this occupation rendered he defendant liable to serve the office of Constable as an inhabitant of the parish? Mr. lloicaND, for the prosecution, argued that the defendant having property requiring protection, ought to perform the duties of an inhabitant ; and that, ac cording to the authorities of the King v. Hall, and the King v. Poynder, recently decided, and others referred to in those cases, he was to be considered as an inha bitant to all legal purposes. • Mr. Brtoocuatu, for the defendant, urged that these authorities only proved him to be liable to pecuniary impositions, and n.)t to the perform Ince of the duty of a Constable, which was, by law, cast only on those who had their domicile within the parish. The COUKT took time to consider of their judgment. RICARDO D. lIIECHADO. This was a rule obtained by Mr. GURNEY, calling on the plaintiff to spew cause why the defendant, arrested at his suit for 100,0001. money had and received, should not be discharged out of custody on filing common bail. Tire grounds of the application were, first, that the affi davit of debt was sworn before the British Consul at Cadiz, whose authority to administer oaths was doubt ful; and second, that the sum was described merely as " sterling," wit:eh might apply to Irish as well a. Eng lish currency. Mr. SCA RLETT and Mr. F. Pouocic now shewed cause against this rule. As to the first objection, they produced the late statute, 6 Gen. IV. regulating the powers of Consuls, and which gives, in direct terms, authority to British Consuls to administer oaths. As to the second objection, they contended that the plain and obvious meriting of the words " 100 0001. sterling." was English money, and that a Court of Justice were not to sea? ch for possible constructions, in order to vary the plain intent of terms. They also submitted that, as the defendant had been arrested on the order of the Lord Chief Justice, the ordinary technicalities did not apply to a case where a discret:onary power had been exerted. Alt. GURNEY had begun to support his rule, when The LORD Cuter JUSTICE intimated that the oth r Judges were waiting for the Court to assist in the de cision of Crown cases reserved ; and therefore that the discussion must be postponed till another day. ARCHES' COURT, Novelise& 19. The Court was occupied all day with the pleadings in a cause appealed from the . Consistory Court of the Bishop of Exeter, entitled " The office of Judge pro moted by Wollicombe against Aichidge." regarding the possessory right of certain parties, by a presctiption of some years, to a partiCular pew in a village in De vonshire. Application was made to the Chancellor of the diocese by Mrs. Wollicombe, for the grant of a faculty empowering her to take and occupy seats in the pew in question, on the ground of possessing certain property in the neighbourhood, Which she conceived gave her a title to claim such accommodation. The Judge of the Court helovi refused the faculty, and decreed, as against the applicant, 601. in nontineespensaruns. From this sen.ence an appeal was asserteJ to his Grace's Court. The facts of the case, as detailed to day by Counsel, possessed not the remotest degree of general interest; but it appeared that the possessor of t• e eslale, in the owners of which the legal right of the pew (wherein the other party claimed a possessory right) was conceived to exist, did not possess the mansion, or any residence upon such estate. Sir June Nrcuot.r. rejected the appeal, and remitted the principal cause to the Court below; the Learned Judge observing, in the course of his sentence, that it had been determined by the high law autkot ities, that the right of pew attached to houses, and not to lands. The health of the Chairman, and the University of Edinburgh, were the next toasts. Mr. A. SCOTT gave—" Mr. Rubinson and Mr. Huskisson, and success to their eft;orts to establish the freedom of trade." This and several other toasts were drank with the usual honours, when the hour getting late, the CHAIAMAN said, that he had notices of a number of other toasts to be given; but, in consequence of the lateness of the hour, be should merely give them from the Chair, " The President of the United States." " The Establishment of Civil and Religious Liberty in every part of the Western World." " The Master and Merchant Company of Edinburgh." " The immediate Suppression of the African Slave Trade, and the speedy Abolition of the Slave Trade ail over the World." " May our Civil Liberties never be endangered by the Abuse of Military Power." Mr. GIBSON CRAIG paid a merited compliment, and proposed a vote of thanks to slr. Horner, for his conduct as Chairman, and the Meeting separated at half-past twelve o'clock.
