canal pen to suppress the feelings and spirit of sic millions of men, all of them confessedly united:' and was not that a fearful subject to legislate upon?' The House might now adopt measures which mr9rt scur the minds of the whole people Plunkett) . -eland— The Right Honourable Gentleman, (Mr. the contrary, hoped that the measures proposed would affor d tranquillity to Ireland ; and he had stated, that an immense number of the subscribers to the Catholic Association had int their names down from fear and compulsion. If this were really the case, he should like to know what the state of Ireland could be? All that he had seen or heard of Ireland had not led him to entertain any idea that the Catholics had any views hostile to the Empire, or any wish or intention to violate the laws. But great alarm had been expressed at their assuming the right of instituting legal proceedin_gs, although the public authorities had thanked Mr. O'Gorman for the temperate manner in which he had conducted the prosecutions—(Hear, hear, hear I) — The Right Honourable Gentleman bad said, that the Catholics had an army of thirty thousand meat now thce were armed, as far as he could make it out, with nothing but a small leathern bag to hold their subscrip tions, and a slate to take down names ; and they were beaded-by what? Why, they were headed by 2,500 Priests—(Laughter). He should be glad to hear from Gentlemen opposite, why the Catholics should not collect their subscriptions, when it could not be said that they applied the sums collected to any improper purposes? This was a miserable subscription, obtained by pence, and the only outcry against it was, that it was a general collection ; and what did this general collection amount to ? why, about £lO,OOO. But did the House believe they could put a stop to this collection ? The Priests collected for other purposes ; and how would it be possible to separate the sums collected for different objects ? and if the three-halfpence of a two pence were ascertained to have been collected for one object, who could discover what had become of the other halfpenny ? The only differetice would be, that sitter the proposed Bill, the collection would be a con cealed, instead of an open collection. No man could think it was contrary to the present Constitution,abat six millions of men, having heavy grievances to com plain of, should attempt to get rid of them in the best manner they could. Why were the Catholics led on to believe that their cause was the cause -of all the most enlightened men in this country? • Why were Honour able Gentleman in this House so eloquent in their be half? Why did the Honourable Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs continue from time to time to hold out those hopes to the Catholics, if they were to be new told that they should not have relief, and that if they said anything snore upon the subject, they should be put into jail ?-.--(Hear, hear, hear). He asked Gentlemen to look back, not to the year 1813, but to the year 1821, when Ireland was a wreck upon the breakers —the Honourable Gentleman would behold his own handyworks, perhaps to admire them, and might add a new stanza to his oM song, of a new " pilot that weather'd the storni"—(A laugh.) Mr. PLUNKETT—I said, Ireland wag on the breakers when the Marquis of Wellesley went over. Mr. TIRMINY continued.—The country owed all her prosperity to Lord Wellesley, and the Right Honourable Gentleman. Its 1881, the Right Honourable Gentleman's exertions in the Catholic cause brought him to a triumphant majority. In another place, where they wore white sleeves, there was a majority against him of thirteen; but was it impossible to believe that if the Government bad espoused the question, the sleeves might not have been turned the other way ? Without the assistance of Government, the Right Honourable Gentleman achieved a victory, but after that, nothing could be dune. The Right Honourable Secretary then made a stride across the House, became Attorney-General—changed his opinion ; hut why change it in prosperity? The Right Honourable Gentleman made no terms with the Catholics. He was vacillating. He sat on their side the 'louse, but he was moving ; as the sailors say, his anchor was peok—(Laughter).— In consequence of the war he took alarm. Then in consequence of the Sia Acts, a panic seized him, and he took a place—(Laughter). Mr. Tierney here adverted to the difference of opinion in the Cabinet upon the Catholic Claims, six out of thirteen were for it. The key of the Opposition would not give way ; there was hearing and re-hearing—lnokirg out the papers, and an order to mention it again next Tuesday—( A laugh). Be had Po doubt the thing might be done if the Hon. Gentlemen on the opposite side would insist on it. His Majesty's opinion on the subject was known by the late liberal act in another kingdom ; but Isis Majesty was the only Sovereign in Europe who could not ob. taro advice on the subject. It was lamentable that - a question which Would restore quiet to Ireland,could not be fairly brought forward. It was only necessary for the liberal part of the Cabinet to assert its right to legislate upon the question, and the thing would be done.— The Catholics not being satisfied with this mode of conducting their gbh', took them into their own hands; and where was the harm of this, or what was there surprising in it? In this prudent course, too, they would go on ; and Ireland would go on in her present progressive increase of wealth, intelligence, and povfer, until she demanded that as a• conquest which they now sought as a boon. The Right Hon. Gentleman who had just spoken, said he had too good an opinion of the Catholics to believe they would ever throw themselves into the hands of a foreign connexion. If they could not find friends at home why should the Right lion. Gentleman indulge in such a hope? At the present moment 25,000 men could march through Ireland, notwithstanding the 2,500 Priests and the army of 30,000 Collectors. • But if war should arrive the case would be different. Did they suppose the enemies of this coun try would not find out the vulnerable point of Ireland? — He asked the Right Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs, if France and Spain were among our enemies, whether he thought they would tsot seize the opportunity to return the compliment they owed us, by acknowledging the independence of Ireland? lie knew that Ireland taimately came back to us; but why were 'we to wait? because six Gentlemen out of thirteen would not do what they were declaring every day of their lives they ought to do? 'They were driven to cabals and deeds of darkness to obtain these their recog nised rights. A minority he was convinced, could be formed on the Catholic side of the question ; but he believed the personage he had before alluded to could as soon raise the dead as supply the place of the six that must go out in the other event. lie sincerely hoped that they would have recourse to such a measure, which would at once prove a remedy, instead of having a fresh grievance, u on the present occasion, to complain of. Mr. BROUGHAM then rose, and moved that the House should adjourn until Monday, for the further consideration of this question. 'The lion. 11. G. BENNET seconded the motion. The House then divided—Ayes, 70; Noes, 252.—0 n a second division, the result of a similar motion, there were—Ayes, 76; Noes, 231.—Before strangers were readmitted to the gallery, the Howe agreed to the adjournment, and rose at ii•El4Atit Chat, af ter disposing of the Orders of the Day. •••••••••••MMIMINIMEIMO yesterday, the Lords Committee to continue the in mirky of last Session regarding the State of Ire Lind, met for the Ara tine in one of the Committee-rooms. They assembled at one o'clock. There was a full attendance of members. The Marquis of Lasseown was appointed Chairman. They adjourned to Wed. nesday next, after baying made arrangement* as to the form of pro ceedings, and ordered the attendance of witnesses. Upwards of 1, 000 / • have been subscribed for the family of the Rev. Mr. MATUSIL True Bills, for wilful and corrupt perjury have been found by the Grand Jury, against Michael Corcoran, Margaret Aids, and Sarah Taylor, three principal witnesses to support the prosecution of the Marquis of Westmeath against Connell and others, at the late Commission, for a conspiracy.—Dublin Paper. The Proprietors of the Levant Company assembled yesterday. The President, Lord GRENVILLE, took the Chair, and addressed the members at some length on the dissolution of the Company. His Lordship returned them thanks for the honour they had so long conferred upon him, as Pi e,ident of their Body; and expressed his gratification that, in dissolving the Company, Go vernment entertained no feeling of hostility towards them, but that the liberal policy of his Majesty's Mi nisters, in widely extending trade, bad alone led to the dissoluticts of the Company. tau *0 1!1 wa rigl 1 Th afil of roc 1 ! 11 So tb no is rri , tb tr 11 az ' tr b .)* 4 t • I t . .

Steam Navigation Coast Auoclition Provincial Dank of Ireland It has been remarked, that of late years, the affairs of Ireland occupy at least one-third of every Parlia ment; and in the present Session it seems probable they will engross still more time ; it cannot therefore be said that sufficient attention is not paid to the sub ject. By referring to the proceedings in the House of Commons of last night, it will be seen that the tichat• on the Catholic Association, after two nights' discus sion, has been again adjourned ; and as there are several distinguished speakers on both sides of the House, w ho may be expected to offer their sentiments, we doubt whether the debate will even be concluded on Monday. Brussels Papers to the 10th inst. reached us this fore noon. An article from Frankfort states, that the KING of Prussia and his Council are so well satisfied with the deliberations of the Provincial Assemblies of Brandeis.. burg, Old Prussia, and the Duchy of Pomerania, that I it is intended immediate l y to convoke the Assemblies' of the other Provinces. It is said that the Russian Gs li neral NosTlrz, who arrived lately at St. Petersburgh, fiom the head-quarters at Mohilen, was the bearer of dispatches of great importance, sent to the EMPEROR by the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the West. One of the Brussels Papers contains the following extract from a letter from Paris, dated the sth inst. The recognition of the South American States, by England, is the general subject of conversation. Every one judges of this event according to his own passions and feelings; but all sensible people are of opinion that L it is of the highest importance, from its probable con- Sequences. Prince MiTTRRNICII is expected at Paris to ,strengthen, it is said, the bonds of the Continental Al liance ; but it is believed that the resolution of England is irrevocable, and that when this fact is clearly proved to the - Cabinets which form the Alliance; everybody, after having sufficiently protested, threatened, &c. will in the end hold their peace, and leave England to direct her policy according to her interest, till all the rest understand their's well enough to imitate her example." The French Papers of Wednesday contain a report of the proceedings of the Chamber of Peers on Tues ' day, on a project of law for the regulation of fe male religious communities. Ministers proposed to entrust to the Crown the power both of erecting_ nun neries and of suppressing them. An amendment was suggested by the Ex-Minister, M. PASQUIERs and , adopted, by which every Act fox erecting or suppressing en a convent must have the sanction of the three branch. - of the Legislature. This provision must prove a sa lutary check on the unnecessary extension of monastic institutions. By the La Fayette, arrived at Liverpool from New Yoik, Papers to the 16th nit. have been received. A letter trom Havanna, dated the 18th December, says— " An expedition is about sailing for St. Juan de Ulloa, with reinforcements for the garrison ; General Cop pinger goes to take the command there. His Majesty's schooner Lyon has captured a Spanish schooner, with 158 slaves on board." The proceedings in the Congress at Washington are not without interest. A Bill for the suppression of pi racy has been introduced into the Senate, which will confer some additional power on the Executive for putting down that bane to the commercial prosperity of all nations. Steam•vessels, and others of a suitable construction for pursuing the pirates into the rivers where they may take refuge, are to be built; and authority is given to the Commanders, if necessary, to - follow and capture them on land, to whatever Power the territory may belong. The Convention with Rus sia, for regulating the navigation of the Pacific, had been approved by the Senate, and the ratifications were to be exchanged immediately, through the medium of Baron Tuvu., the Russian Envoy. THE ARMY. The 7:d Regiment of Foot, has marched from Athlone to Dublin The East Kent Militia, will, it is said, assemble for training during the ensuing Spring. The 67th, (or South Hampshire,) now at Bombay, is to return NAVAL INTfLLIGENCE. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Cuxhaver dated ith Feb.—" A most tremendous gale at West commenced on the 2d inst. which increased on the sd, and continued until the forenoon of yesterday. On the evening of the 3d, the tide rose to an alarming height, and about eleven o'clock the inland bank gave way, and the inundation has caused great damage. The Spring, of North Shields, EDINGTON, and the Eliza, of Leith, CocoaAne, which had been taken off the stocks two days before, after the completion of their repairs, were thrown upon the quay, where they now lie. Two warehouses are carried away, and I believe the entire cargo of the Gottfried and Betty, JAcombe master, is lost. Part of the cargo of the Aberdeen, WOOD, is carried away by the Rood, and the rest damaged. 'The cargo of the Neptune, WADE, has sustained much damage." The Framligen, TserrstAr, front Uleaborg to Lisbon, was lost off Christiansoer, the 4th November—three of the crew drowned.

Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Conn ell was held at the Foreign Office, Dowtting-street, which was at tended by the Loan Citeatc.at.tou and all the other Cabinet Minis. ters, with the exception of Mr. Secretary Part..—The Cabinet Mi nisters continued in deliberation till four o'clock.

Lady CnaaLorre Dotes, sister to the General, was Godmother. The report of a visit from the Prince de METTERNICE to the French Capital has been almost officially contradicted. A loan of twenty millions of francs is said to have been contracted in Paris for the service of the Greeks. It is said, that the Hon. and Rev. Mr. FACEINHAN will succeed to the Deanery of Emly. • JUDGMENT. —This day, in the Court of King's Bench, Mr. Josiah Taylor, convicted for keeping a noiorious gambling-house in Pall-mall, St. James's, was sentenced by the Court to pay a fine of X 5,000 to the King, be imprisoned for twelve months in fierkenwell Jail, and enter into sureties for five years, himself in £lO,OOO, and four others, in £2,900 each. THEATRE, DRURY-LANE.---Mf. KEAN last night again appeared at this Theatre. The part be enacted was that of Shyloek,in The Merchant 4 . Venice which he went through with his usual excellence, and experienced the most rapturous applause, not a dissenting voice being heard. The House was crowded with ele gant company, among which were an unusual number of Ladies, particularly in the dress circle, who were not sparing in their marks of approbation. Hence we suppose the opposition has ceased, and Kean may shout " Idissuntra himself again.' , THE FIFE CAUSE.--It will be remembered this im portant cause, involving no less a sum than £20,000 a year, and that depending on the judgment to be ultimately awat ded, as to the deeds framed by the late Earl of Flee, after having been tried before the Court of Session in Scotland, and in the House of Lords, was, two years ago, remitted back to the Court of Session, to try an tune in the Jury Court, as to whether they were the deeds of the late Earl? The present Earl denying that they ought to be so consi dered, on account of undue execution in them, as be maintains, the' late Earl's vision being affected. and for want of legal solemnities being, as his Lordship also maintains, observed, it is accordingly ordered that the issue shall be tried in the Jury Court, at Edin burgh, =the 9th day of ,Larch. A requisition, signed by between thirty and forty of the leading members of the Catholic Association, has been addressed to Mr. CrGaMAIN the Secretary, requesting him to convene r NI Ar resew, Meeting of the Catholics of Ireland, on as early a day as possible, fee the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Parliament on the subject of the Bill now in progress against the Catholic Association of Ireland." Mr. O'Goaatox has, in conse quence, appointed Tuesday next, at one o'clock, for the meeting. The proceedings will be of importance, chiefly as iadiating the temper of the Catholic Body nadir existing circumstances. EAST INDIA HOME. • • A General Coon of Bast India Proprietors *so yesterday' bold at the Company's house, in Leadeeet, for the mopes* of taking into consideration the Hydrabad papers, so fat as regarded the conduct of the Most Noble the Marquis of Basting% hi relatiest to the transactions between. Messrs. Wm. Palmer and Ca attd - the Government of the Nines. The requisition, which was signed by nine PropoktotS, hieing been reid, A Faorsorrot asked w hether there were not mine additional papers In the hands of the Directors, which could throat material light upon those before the Court? The Cumasup said they had taken the itpinions of the principal law °Meer., and if the Court wished it, he should have no objection to their being read. Mr. DOUGLAS Kinnxian addressed the Meeting, and • ccncluded by moving a resolution, that " this Court, having taken into consi deration that part of the papers which related to the conduct of t he Marquis of Hastings, respecting the transactions of Messrs. Palmet and Co. frith the Government of the Nizam, they were of cpinion that it contained nothing that tended to affect the private ch.racter t honour, or integrity, of the Noble Marquis." An Amendment was moved by the Chairman, namely, " that this Court saw no ground for imputing cotrupt motives to the Mar* quls of Hastings, or any other Member of the Bengal Government ; at the same time, looking at the transactions of Messrs. Palmer and Co. with the native Government of Hydrabad, the Court must re cord he approval of the dispatches of the 24th of May, 1220 ; of 28th Novenibet2 82i ; 9th of April, 1823; and 21st of Jan. 1294." After several Gentlemen had addressed the Court, the further consideration el the question was adjourned to Friday next. HIGH TIDES AND INUNDATIONS. About the time of tht last full moon, and on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, of last week, the Thames Wall, in the levels of Dartford, Stone, Crayford, and Erith, on the Kentish side, was breached in many places, and overflown for several miles, wltcreby some thous-Ands of acres of valuable land were, and continue to be, completely intimidated. An extraordinary high tide took place about mid-day at Paver. sham on Thursday sennight : the water flowed in with such as tonishing rapidity, that houses were almost surnuuded before the inmates perceived its approach, or apprehended its consequences; the rooms of many houses were from one to three feet deep in water. At a place called Fowley Island, in the neighbourhood of Conger, the tide broke over the embankments, and flowed so fast, that .he inhabitants were unable to make their escape, or to save auy of their property from the tavages of the water. The inmates were obliged to force through the thatch of their dwelling, and thus got on the top of it, until WMe persons came in a boat, and thus res cued them from their perilous situation. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday week, the tide rose to a very unusual height at Sheerness; on Friday it rose to a level with the pier and the sea wall between Sheerness and Qoeenborough ; at the top of high water, the water washed over the wall adjoining the pier, and flowed lute Blue Town at a considerable rate, inun dating several of the lanes and streets nearest the pier, filling the cellars, lower rooms of houses, and other places of low situ:don ; on the north east side of the Government works, the sea made a -tiderabk breach in the outer wall, and presently filled the moat surrounding the battery. On the Flemish coast, the late tempestuous weather, and un usually high tides, have been more destructive than in England. On the 4th instant, at noon, the whole town of Ostend was in great alarm—the sea overflowirg the dikes and quays near the port, inundated some of the streets. The sea dike has sustained considerable injury ; the dikes which keep off the water of the eort will need great repair. The principal part of the Wharf, called the Placket, was washed down, together with one end of the basin. At Flushing, the water rose from seven to eleven feet in the street ; and at Dunkirk, a brig was wrecked in endeavouring to enter the harbour. The body of a man dressed in the Scotch costume was washed ashore on the coast, having about him one hundred pounds and several papers, which have been delivered to the Authorities. At Firmonde, the water ran over the bridge, and inundated se veral streets; and some of the dikes about the town were carried away.. The whole parish of Grimberger is under water, and the inhabitants, 100 in number, were brought off in boats. The albststerdant Courant contains a long article on the subject, hi which it is stated, that the water had broke through the dike, near Durgendam, in the Waterland, and intendated 10,000 acres of land. The inhabitants were obliged to take refuge on the roofs of their houses. The Captains of the Merchantmen were gone to bring them away in their boats, and bad already saved great numbers they were still employed in bringing off the remainder, and also the cattle, which were in the midst of the water. Accounts from York, Upper Canada, announce the destruction of the centre and north wing of the Parliament House, in that town. The fire broke out shout midnight of the 30th ult. in the atorth wing, and burnt with such fury as to defeat every effort to save that wing, and the main body of that extensive building. The south wing was saved, by great exertion, but not until considerable injury had been done. The fire originated in the rooms appropriated for tbe use of Dr. Powell and his clerks, the whole of whose valuable papers are lost. The loss to the Province is not less than eighty thousand dollars, besides the want of a suit able place for the Members of the Legislature to assemble in, at their approaching Session. CANINE Sat uccLatts.—An account from the frontiers of France, says—" The triple line of French Custom-house Offiem have been for some time on the alert ; some of the posts have been removed to other places to watch over the numerous packs of dogs which arrive from Belgium with prohibited goods. These intelligent animals are perfectly well trained, and carry into France, across fields and through bye ways, the produce of foreign manufacture. -- Some of these poor animals Lave already fallen victims ; when they are perceived within musket shot, a running fire is kept up against them, which; with all their activity, they cannot always escape.' Tuesday, as Joist; Dawes, Esq. of St. John's College, Cambridge, was riding near Fulbourn, in attempting to leap over a hedge, his horse swerved, and made a t a six-barred gate. when the horsefeet having caught the top bar, Mr. D. was thrown, and the falling upon him, broke his thigh. Mr. D. was conveyed back to Cambridge, and surgical assistance instantly procured. DEATH Or J. H. PARRY, ESQ. THE BARRISTSR.... Thursday last, an Inquest was held at the Prince of Wales There, North-street, en the body of lone Httatrraers Passe, lisq. * l 4 came by his death under the following circumstances :—The firsts witness, Emma Purdy, deposed as follows—l am arrant to Mrs. Dunstan, ES, Pleasant-terrace. About half-past eight o'clock, en Saturday evening last. as I was going to Collier-street, along North.street. I saw the deceased struck on the mouth by a tall man, dressed in a finials coat : the man repeated the blow, and then gave him a tremendous bit on the side • the deceased instantly fell to the ground, and appear ed to be dead . A Gentleman who came up told the man in the fustian coat that he had killed the Gentle man. Several persons came round and picked the Gentleman up, and carried him into the Prince of Wales Tavern. J should not know the man again who struck the blows; he was quite 'obit, but I think the deceased was intozleated.—The Rev.
