FVNERAL OF THE LATE MR. J. JOHNSTONE. The rettsains of this justly celebrated actor, who held supreme sway in Irish characters for the last 45 years, wore removed from his late residence, N 0.5, Tavistock Tow, Covent-gardent, this afternoon, at two o'clock, and interred in ring of the vaults beneath the Church of St. Paul, Covent-garden. Several of the oldest and most distinguished members of both the winter establishments attended the 'funeral, in order to pay the last tribute of respect to departed talent. The procession consisted of twenty monroars, comprising many of his theatrical co temporaries, and a select number of his private friends. The body was enclosed in a leaden coffin, and the out ward one covered with the finest black cloth, with all the usual funereal ornaments. The plate upon the lid Was of brass, and bore the follow;ng inscript•on— "Jobs Henry Jahastoebe, Bat died Stith of December, 11121, Aged 78 years." The body was conveyed in a hearse drawn by sir Urges, and followed by sir mourning _coaches, contain. ing Messrs. Kemble, Price, Foorcett,Mathews, Elliston, alunden, John Bannister, P•ipe, H arley, T.Cooke, rower, Cooper, Keeley, Blanchard, with several friends who had long known and esteemed the deceased. ADELPHI THEATRE. He's no Conjuror, produced on Thursday night, is a lively prelude to the Christmas Pantomine: the only danger is, that the audience having to laugh at both pieces, will hardly be able to hold out to the finish. The whole of this little novelty turns on the dilemmas of a scapegrace son (MAruaws), who has broken loose frOsit his father for the charms of a strolling life, and the pretty daughter of the landlord of the Red Lion. The absence f the King of Conjurors, who was not conjurer enough to escape A dislocated shoulder, gives tne runaway an opprtunity of reconciling himself with his father; and the young Lady, being not only pretty, but unexceptionable, the piece ends in the old way— weft,' m and marriage. The piece appears to have been wholly get up for the purpose of displaying MATHEWS'S alents, and that effort has been entirely successful. He rattles about the stage—is now himself, and now sonic one else—and slips into the conjuror's tricks as easily as into his Chinese wrapper. When we mention that, in addition to all this—he gives one of his best conic songs, it will be seen that the actor is willit g to add tatty possible attraction. The piece, on the second night of reptesentatitn, went off a ith increased eclat, and M ill, no doubt, tun as a long ac the proprietors shall want it to dovetail in' between the Eat thquake and the Eintomin.e.

Aniong the reductions in the Colonial Office we un derstand that the (Ace of Law Clerk, held by Mr. &maga, is to be abolished, in consequence of M. Tsetse, who has been long a most respectable Banister of eminence, having been appointed Under S c. eta' y of State in the Colonial D:partment —The office of Law Civic• has,been abolished in the Home Depart anent fee many years; indeed ever since a Barrister was appointed Home Under Secretary. A melancholy accident occurred at Dittisham, near Dartmouth, on Wednesday last. Mr Searle, a most respectable yeoman in that parish, went out on a shoot . ing excursion, accompanied by his son, aged about 17. who had returned to his .parental root to spend his va catioli, when by some accident his father's gun went off and shut him dead.-Ixeier Flying Pest. • At a broil in Caul - trees, Pieibouth, on Thu. sday night, between a private soldier of the garrison and a Portuguese, the latter chess a knife and plunged it into the soldier's breast. • The man is dangerously, but not mortally, wounded. It appears that the death of King RADASIA bad caused some disturbance in Madagascar, but that the patty of his mother, who had mounted the throne, had succeeded in defeating Pt ince RATA)tZE, the father of the heir to the throne, and that Veinier, tofu( an end to his hopes, had been murdered. The Ki.ig of PRUSSIA has inserted his name in the list Pf members of the Me tiers Botanical Society.

An examination of the f iction in screws drawing their threads of various forms, has led M. Poucelet this very important conclusion, namely, that the friction insctews with square threads is, to that of equal screws with trianpular thre rd.. as 290 to 418, proving a very important advantage of the former over the latter. re lative to the loss of power incurred in both by friction. Branch Jobrnal. Endeavollts have often b. en made in France to din cover a substitute far foreign c' ffce. According to M. PnJor DESCRARIAIIIS, the seeds of the broom answer this purpose exceedingly well, according to the opinion If a person who has taken it for twelve years. Being moderately roast-d, ground, and prepared in the manlier ordinary coffee, this person finds no difference be tween it and coffee. It is nor the garden, but the forest broom, the seeds f which are to be taken for this use. It appears that in that part of Holland bordering upon Germany, this substance has been used for ct.ffee for many years: Christmas-Day a distressing accident occurred at Poulton, in this county, by which the lives of two indi viduals were sacrificed. An industrious labouring man, named Joseph Hew,•having paid a visit to his sister, also residing in that parish, in the morning, took his nephew, Joseph Cox, borne with him to spend the after noon with his family. About seven o'clock in the even ing, young Cris 'left the house, intending to return, home, but he had cot proceeded far when his foot slipped, and he fell into a quarry close to the footpath, which was partly Filled with water, and left in a very unguarded state. • A neighbour hearing the splashing in the water called toJoseph Hew, who ran to the spot, and finding that his nephew au struggling in the water, he instantly jumped in to his sescue, contrary to the earnest persuasions of the bystanders. Hew was an excellent swimmer, but ow ing, it is supposed, to the young man grasping his body, he was unable to make any effectual exertions, and they were both drowned, without its be.ng pos•ible to :ender them any assistance. The bodies were dragged out of the water in about half an hour from the time of their sinking, and great el fats were made to restore animation, hut without effect. Joseph Hew has lett a wife, who is ez r ected shoody to be confined, and six children, without any provision for their support.—Baby Chronicle. SHERIFF PARKINS' EXCHEQUER BILLS. • "Sheriff Parkins formerly banked with Fauntleroy, but it happened, that one night the Sheriff had a dream that it was not right tolease his 20,000 Exchequer Bills there; he accordingly proceeded the next morning to demand his property, but Fauntleroy made some iva live answer to the Sheriff, which threw him into a great rage, and determined him to have his bills. Fauntle roy, finding that he was not to be got rid of, returned him the amount; but, on the Sheriff's examining the bills, he found that they were not of the same numbers which he deposited with them. He was, how ever, contented with obtaining his property again, with which he immediately proceeded to Child's. On hav ing an interview with one of the principals of the house, he began to be vituperative against Fauntleroy, which the principal would not listen to. This again enraged the Sheriff, who went off with his bills in his pocket. It scum after happened. that Sheriff Parkins was standing as candidate for an election, and on being on the hustings, his competitor demanded to know who he was, and from whence he came? The Sheriff im mediately put his hand to his pocket to exhibit his bills, but to his great astonishment they were not to be found. This caused great confusion in the town, and at the mat ket place, but after some search his property was discovered, aod again restored to him. The ab , ve adventure was the cause of his placing his Exchequer Bills in the hands of Mr. Stephenson. Their further adventures may be as various. EXCHEQUER BILLS. No point can be more clear than that of a Banker, with whom Excheq ler Bills, Prussian Bonds, Navy Bills, Bills of Exchange, or other property of that nature, usually transferred by delivery, should, in breach of trust, pledge the same with a person igno rant of the fraud, the latter may retain the same from the true owner until he is fully paid all that he has advanced. This point was decided as to Exchequer Bills in " Wookey v. Pole," 4 Bar. and Aid. 1 ; and as to Pruuian Bonds, in" Gorgier v. hlieville," 3 Bar. and C:es. 45.4 Dowl. and R. 541 ; and as to Navy Bills, " Goklsmyd v Gaden," 1 Roses Bankrupt Law,1796. These and other authorities you will find in Chitty on Bills, 7th edit. 113. In " Glyn v. Barker." 13 East, 502, it was held, that India Bonds slid not pass by delivery, because they are payable kb terms only to a particular obligee or his executors; but even this was altered in the same year by the statute 51 Geo. 111. c. 64,wblch in direct terms makes them also transferrable by delivery to a bona, fide bolder. The 7th and 6th Geo. 111. c. 29 a 49 and 52, which make it a transpurtabk misdemeanour tor 14 years, for a banker to be gutty of such a misdemeanour, also gives the party injured a right to sue the banker, agent, and sureties, for the civil injury, - - The following is the opinion of M. FttiallMLD on the question now so warmly discussed re.pecting the right of property in the Exchequer Bills that bare been negociated by Mr., Steph, mit New Bank-buildings, Jan. 1, 1829. " I have not seen the statement in the noses to which you allude, but you may be assured that the writer has mistaken the law upon the subject, if he asserts that an Exchequer Bill may be followed by the original owner in the same mafiosi as be might his stolen horse. The two cases are governed by different principles, and cannot be treated as parallel propoaitione. It would be easy to illustrate and prove the distinction ; but it is sufficient for your purpose, as a bona fie holder of some of the Exchequer Hills in question, to know tLat uegociable securities, payable to the person who shall, for the time being, be the holder, may be transferred ny the mere delivery, laud whoever is the bolder bats power to give title to any person honestly acquiring such security, whether by purchase or by the loan of money upon the deposit of negotiable securities.' The question is not one open to discussion; it has been decided as to Bank -notes, Bills of Exchange indorsed In blank. Exchequer Bills, and Burisls of the King of Pt 'sodas J. W. FItgaIIFIELD." Experiments were lately mane on the experimental velocity of sound, by M M. Myrbach and Stampfer, between Um. tersberg and Mornchsteln, near SAltsbourg, from August 15 to September 30, 1822.

Petitions ate in forwardness from all the principal Parishes, ei her separately or onited, throughout Somer setshire, to both Houses of Parliament, against the alarming and monstrous doctrilles now held by the Ca. tholic Asst. ciatic,a in I: eland. This is well following op the advice given lately by one of the Members of that County, Sir Thomas Lethbridge, who will have the proud satisfact on of going to Parliament armed with a very general if nut the unanimous support uf his Constituents t n this all imcrrtant question. A liberated convict, named Peverone, whose nutse rr tr. murders had given him great celebrity in C. , isica, was shot on the 10th ult. by a corporal stationed at Ajaccio. This notorious bandi., however, defended hims. If with great bstinacy against the whole of the company commandeJ by the corporal, and wounded several of 0 ern berme he received his own death blo*. In order to mike liens lay thronghout the winter, it is recommended to heat the pou!tiy roosts by means of 'team, arid to m x with their fr.od pounded oyster or other shells, and slate also pounded. The lime con tained in the oyster shell contributes to the formation of the shell, and the slate lightens the flavour of the meat of the egg. The French f igate Stiveillante, having on board Vice Admiral Lc ,ARRANT, is ,aid to have been blown up at Lima, in consequence of two sailors having srt fire to the cockpit. It is hoped, however, that this ne/i sis not correct. It is quite tree, at tie same time, that the Orion has been burnt at Brest. This ship was employed for the instriicti;oi of the youth inrended for the naval service, and it is said that she was Sri on fire by the pipes of two young Egyptians. who were sent on board to learn naval tactics.—trench Paper. The following anecdote is told as a proof of the de.' termination of Don PEDRO to uphold the Portuynese Constitution:—A short time since, a placard was placed against the walls in Rio Janeiro, containing these words Brazilians, beware ! the Emperor's brother has over thrown the Constitution of Portugal l" The Emperor being informed of this circumstance, caused the placa:d to be brought to him, and having written upon it, " The hand that gave the Constitution will maintain it," ordered it to be again placed upon the wall from whence it had been taken.—Plymouth Journal.

PROTESTANT SPIRIT IN WALES. PROM THIS NORTH WALKS CHRONICLR- With feelings of hottest vide and exultation that out efforts to roue the Protestant spirit of this truly Pio tenant country have not proved ineffectual, we have to direct the attention of the Irish Agitators to die Con stitutional proceedings of the burgesses of Criccieth, Pwllheli, &c. as further plots(' that the loyal and in. telligent descendants of the Ancient Br'tons entertain the same decided aversion to Popery and treason for which their ancestors in days cf yore were famed, as much as for their martial valour and deep-rooted affec Lion for their native hills. In England the op t osition to Rsman Catholic Emancipation is strong, from many happy years' experience of the . blessings resulting from Protestant ascendancy ; and the hi.totical know. ledge of the people convinces them of the degradation and fully of an implicit obedience to the commands of a selfish, designing, and ignorant priesthood, which have been more fully developed in the sed.tious con duct and language, at their instigation, of the brawling and cowardly demagogues of the Irish Association. In Ireland, amongst the Protestants, the opposition is it'll stronger, because with the reasons that influence Eng lishmen to oppose it, they are well aware that they would be the first sacrifice to the ascendancy of the Pope, which would inevitably follow the destruction of the only remaining bulwark .1 the Protestant &tab- Ds' ment. This excites in them the greater horror, from the daily and ['sourly scenes thy witness of the abject state of such of the peasantry as ate pre. vented by the Popish religion from benefitting by the DIVINI precepts contained in the Bible, upon which alone, Protestantism is founded. In Wales there is an inherent dislike of any thing opposed to that di vine book; and religious and historic .1 education may be said to be universal among its peasantry. Thus the public ate fully capable of coolly and deliberately con sidering the subject; and their opposition to the admit'. sion.of Roman Catholics to a greater share of political power, Is naturally rendered doubly strong by the consi deration of the cruelties and ex; edicts?s resorted to by Austin the Monk, and the other Popish emissaries,' Inwards obtaining an ascendancy, and ultimately de stroying the ancient Bs ins!' Church. And this opposia turn is by no means diminished by t' err knowing , (whatever benefits that event may have been productive of) that the complete conque.t ()I Wale. by Edward was chiefly effected through the instrumentality and political . interference of the agents of the See of Rome. 1 BRUNSWICK CLUBS.

DUELtIIo DSC 30.—Yriterday there %Ifni a meeting of the Association; Mr. KRADY is the Chair. Mr. Otos:win-a. rose to give n..t ce i f motions for three votes of thanks—one ti. Valentine Blake. of Menlo Castle, in the county of Galway, E q. for Vie valued assistance which he gave on the subject of the right of the' Member for Clare to take his brat in P alias:ten , ;. the other to Chalks Butler, Esq. and the rind to Sir John Joseph Dillon, who had written a most ab;e pamphlet on the question. He would go more into de tail when the motions came to be moved; he was the more anxious to do so, as the discussions on those mo tions steroid be a mode of calling tie aitenion of the public to the importance, the n cebsity I f &stetting in his person the right of the Irish people; of his own right h was perfectly convinced, and was also aware that every species of trick and chicanery would be resorted to for the pur l use of depriving him of his seat. Nothing but the majestic voice a f the people, sigrified as well trim gh their mei t i. gs here, as by those who would attend with him in London, would convince the Government of the importance of settling the question. He owned he did feel something Ike a pang of j alousy on the question of the Mission; he ihroight there y as'a spe cies if desertion in that occasion, and he did think that as an individual he • as not well treated; however, that was matter of small importance ; he only men tioned it with a siew of int'prs suing upon Gentlemen the necessity it.f not shrinking from a great public duty —he never was more convinced of the impo lance of any measure than the MibUon to England; for its failure he had nobody to blame hut himself; his cape. .fence had taught him, that in public or pulsate, the success of any measure depended on a man's own ex-r -lions ; he should have made up his mind to go to Eng -I.nd alone; hr did not go, lie allow ed himself to he se duced to remain at home; the debate to be with his fa mily at that particular seating of the year, and the sav ing of five or six hundred pounds, ales influenced him in remaining at home; however, be had no pesbon to blame but himself; as to his being in L .ndon, be was termined to go ; he cared not what night be said cif it either by his home!: or his foes, arid he would now beforehand taunt those who would shrink fr. m doing their duty. The Provincial Meeting at CI miner unani mously des rosined that he should be accompanied to L:rnd n; the meetings at K Ikenity and Nlullitigar also can:e to the sa i.e resolution; the Aggregate Meeting passed a similar resolution, a Lich was adopted by the Catholic Association. He would say it was a rattly shin king fiom a public duty i 1 these iesolutions were riot ,carried immediately into effect. If there wre any of jections to the measuie, they should have been made At these meetings, or in the Con.mittee where the tete). lotions to be submitted to t e meeting a ere agreed upon. Other resolutions were proposed on those occa sions which he could not carry. There was the question of Radical Reform ; although of.en ahu e.f, ti.ese was nn suhj ct on which he was attacked name innocently on his part. He avowed himself a Rad cal Reim met ; still he could not carry it in the Associatito, and it was with the greate.t difficulty, and after two dais debate in the Commit , ee at Ki kenny, that h- could carry the question of Constitutional Reform, Ile thelefore hoped these ,esolutions would not be suffered to remain so much waste paper. The great experiment of the Clare Eli ction would I e only-thrown away if not followed up, and could only reflect shame and disgrace upon 'those who would s' rink from' doing their duty ; he was determined to do his duty fit m'y and determinedly.— After some further roma. ks. Mr. O'Connell concluded by moving, that the resolution el the Association r r . pecting the accompanyiog him to London, should be printed in the Dublin and ail the usua: C untry P•Fers. Mr. CONWAY handed in the subsctiption of the Right Rev. Dr. Coppinger. He sugeested that sonic means •hould be adopted for obtaining the sub ai l toms of Gentlemen attending those to •nis, and who were in Vie hab.t of taking a pert in their deliberations—he w o uld say no more on that subject for the present. Mr. O'CONNILL said, he had a commooirati n from Rome, from a source of undoubted author it'', dated the 81 of December. The negociations beta-c. n the Bri ef h Government and the Pope have been resumed. The nature of the communication from the British Go vernment to the Pope was, th at they would gtal t emancipation—abut the basis of it sh .uld be a Concor dat with the Pope. The reply was. that until caats( i pation. there would be no Concordat; so stood the metier until lately, w' en the negotiations a ere renewed. Mete is at It one a Protestant. who h Ids communica tion with the Holy See, notwithstanding t. e Acts of Przmunire; it ap, eAta he art iced their about the Sd or 4.h of December. The Duke of Buckingham i. at It-me; he did nit mean to say that he was the medium of communication with the Pope, because he was not certain of the tact; however, he believed he was. It has been represented to the Pope, that unle.s emstict pation would be granted, the Irish people ...old break out into rebellion ; on the other hand, it was also urged upon the Pope, that if emancipation were granted with out the Concordat, that the Protestants wr uld rebel. In this dilemma the Pope was called on to interfere.— His information was from a source not likely to deceive. hum. It was incumbent on the Catholics to hare a communication made to Rome, detailing the real state of the country, that the Pope shooed understand that there was not the least danger of a rebellion in Ireland. Mr. O'Corisizu. gave notice r f a motion for a so e of thanks to Mr. Otway Cave, and read a I. net from that Gentleman, pronouncing Brunswick Clubs as con. spiracles against th. it Sovereign and the peop'e. Mr. Cave, he (Mr. O'Connell) thought should tepees tit in Parliament some place in beland, and that the traffick ing little letter-writing Hutchinson should make way for him. He hoped that the people of Tipperary would make arrangements for his re un. The Learned Gen tleman then gave notice i f a mi tion for mg, teting free. holders. He had another mot. a to make, that the Committee do report once a week, in writing, the pro• gress made in procuring Petitions to Parliament. The Session was fast approaching, and he hoped that all Petitions would be in town by the 20th Jaisn•ry. He meant to have a separate Petition on the subject if the Clare Election. This should be a distinct Petition. S me other routine bu mess was toathact.d, and several sums fur rent *Tie paid in.
