The following petition, which had been forwarded from St. Peter's parish, was presented in the House of Commons, on Monday week, by Mr. Maurice O'Connell: That your petitioners respectfully approach your honourable house, complaining of the act of 7 Geo. 4, cap. 72, called the Vestry Act, un der which your petitioners are annually taxed in large sums of money, without having any voice or controul in the meetings, at which the far greater part of such sums are. voted, and that for purposes which cannot, by possibility, be of the slightest benefit to petitioners. That at the two vestries held in this parish, in the present Easter week, the amount assessed upon the parishioners, for parish and church ceases, exceeded the sum of 1,9001 and in the preceding year the amount exceeded 1.7001. this making in two years upwards ut 3,5001. assessed upon the parish for church cos. Tkpt not only are your petitioners, and the other Catholics of the parish, obliged to pay tithes and minister's money, but they have to support their own clergymen, of which, however, they do not complain, and they have lately had to build a parish chapel, and there is now a large debt due thereon, which they are unable to discharge, neither have they funds for the plaistering or ceiling thereof, and the vaned edi• fice presents to the view the painful spectacle of naked stone walls without any ceiling. That notwithstanding these heavy burdens to which the Catholics of this parish are subject, they are taxed for the support of no less than four Protestant churches in the parish, two of them having lately been built at the expense of the parish, although no two points in the parish are three miles distant from each other. _ That the following are some of the items composing the aforevaid sum of 1,8001. hotly assessed upon the parish for one year's church cess For organists .. ... £136 0 0 Blowing the bellows and tuning the organ 32 10 0 Total expenses of one years pariah £167 10 0 Four sextons .. .. ••• ... ... 150 0 0 Four clerks .. ... ... .. ... 156 0 0 Four beadles ... • • •• • ••• ... 94 0 0 Hanging four churches in black cloth on death of George Fourth, (part of the cloth was stolen out of the church and replaced at the expense of the pariah) .. ... 62 9 0 Crape rcarri for said mourning, and eambrick for clergy. men's bands ... .. ... ... .. 117 6 Five surplices for clergymen ... .. ... 11 5 0 Sacramental elements .. ... ... .. 30 0 0 Plastering and painting outside of Sr. Peter's church .. 100 0 0 Ironmongery and smith's work for Rsthmines church ... 131 16 4 Ditto for St. Stephen's .. .. .. .. 124 6 3 Slating and building work at ditto, notwithstanding that 15001. was lately borrowed for completing said church 120 18 5j For vestry clerk, in addition to 801. salary, for collecting said sum of 18001. being nearly 2s. in the pound .. 163 0 0 Making in all to the vestry clerk, 2431. The other items being composed for the most part of accounts due to painurs, glaziers ' carpenters, upholsterers, &e. That these large sums are annually voted away upon two days in Easter week, by thirty or forty persona, assembled in a small vestry room, scarcely capable of containing the one hundredth part of the parishioners, and are proposed without any previous notice of their particulars. That owing to the want of any efficient legislative control, the annual amount of these assessment* has gone on, increasing progres sively every succeeding year. The year 1821 they amounted to 8001. whereas, in this year they exceed I,BOOL being 1,0001. more than in 1821. . That it is a mockery to tell your petitioners they have the power to appeal. The act surrounds the appellant with every technical diffi culty, and even should he appeal, he is subsequently compelled to contribute to the costs of resisting his own appeal, which coats are, by the act, chargeable upon the parish, and in a recent case, in the parish of St. Andrew's, in this city, they amounted to 1801. That your petitioners protest against the gross injustice of taxing them, for purposes it. which it is nut pretended they have or can have the slightest interest. and fer the support of houses of worship which they never enter, or desire to enter. That the ratty bill, lately brought into the honourable house by the government, is, in the opinion of your petitioners, calculated to aggra vate the evils it purposes to remedy, and the clause In said bill, which goes to exclude Catholics from being even present at particular vestries, shews that the government which introduces such an unjust and uncon stitutional measure, is either lamentably ignorant of the feelings of the people of Ireland, or exhibits a most reprehensible contempt of their opinions, and, in either case, *hews an utter disregard of the principles of the constitution, which proclaim that no man shall be taxed without his consent. That the said vestry act is so flagitious in its principle, that It is ut terly impossible to amend it, and therefore your petitioners pray your honourable house to repeal it altogether. - It is a gratification to ourselves, as it cannot fail to be to all believers in the Gospel, to record the opinions of persons of rank, but especially entertained by those who wield the sceptre of empires. This leads us to mention, that among documents of a similar import is the following, addressed to Mr. Rae Wilson, b y his Majesty the ging of Prussia ; on those journeys he made through India, Samaria, Galilee. and in general that interesting country the "cradle of the Chris t* world."

At some distance from Bayreuth, which terminates the Holy Land, the Held is pointed out where St. George fought the dragon. It may be Interesting to know that this saint or hero is famous in the Holy Land, and represented on horseback tilting at a dragon at his feet. His sanctity is established in the Franciscan and Greek churches, and he is distinguished by the title of the " Great Martyr." Several temples were dedicated to him at Constantinople, and one of them gave to the Hellespont the name of St. George. Portugal has honoured hint as her tutelar saint, as did England under the first Norman kings, at the council of Oxford, in 1222, when his feast was commanded to be kept a holiday. His name alvo was a war cry. Advance our standards ! Set upon our foes ! Our ancient word of courage, " Fair St. George !" Inspire us with the spleen of fiery dragons : Upon them ! Hie history is this :—On the death of his father, who lost his life in defence of the Gospel, St. George accompanied his mother into Par Isstine, where he came into possession of large property. The emperor Dioclesian. who was not aware that he was a Christian, and admiring his noble aspect and majestic form, appointed Win to the command of one of his legions, and a seat in his council. In his twentieth year he lost his mother, and dedicated himself to military duties, in which be greatly distinguished himself. During the height of his fame the per secution of the Christians took place with great violence and cruelty, on which he withdrew himself from the service of the tyrant, whom he publicly upbraided in the senate. Astonished at his boldness, the em. peror resolved to destroy him, but euspended his vengeance, in the hope of tavieg sgstfir4)te benefit of his military talcum. Resolute, however, in his refusal to serve him, he was put to the torture, beheaded, and Al I formerly observed, was buried at Lydda, the rendezvous of the Christian forces. There is this injunction to the English in an old art of war:—" Item, that all souldiers entering into bauaile, assault, skirmish, or other faction of armes, shall have for their common cry and word, N. George forward! or, Upon Owns, Se. George! whereby the soldier is much comforted, and the enemie dianzied by calling to Wade the ancient valour of England. which with that name has so often been victorious."—Rae Wilson's Trawls is, tits Holy Land. DIORAMA, REGENTS PARK The views now exhibiting at this establishment, are as well executed as any we have had the pleasure of seeing here; and the subjects are admirably adapted for this species of painting. The village of Unter. seen is highly picturesque. The houses are constructed of fir-wood, a' gallery covered by a projecting roof, extends along the whole front of the buildings, and the fronts are curiously ornamented with carvin a and ballusters. The effect of light and shade produced in the manage ment of the roofs is a masterly display of pictorial deception ; and the illusion is well prt‘erved by the peispeetive of the street—the keeping of the magnificent hills and mountains which rise majestically above the village—and by the general tone of the colouring, which is true to nature' The other view, Mount Bt. Gotbard at the passage Aux Roches. taken from one of the grandest scenes in nature. The immense rocks tower ing on either side, leave but a small spate for beholding the sky. la the distance a part of St. Gothard is seen, covered with perpetual snow; and between the rocks is an immense cavern, over poet of which a bridg is disown ; the river which passes under the bridge is impeded by huge manses of rock, which ruffle the waters and cause them to fall in cas cades. This picture is painted with equal care and ability to the others ; and both support the established reputation of the artist. STATE OF THE FLORA IN ESSEX IN THE SPRING 1831. The severity of last winter was such that many whole tribes of plants were destroyed, a circumstance which le curious, inasmuch, as some paricular genera seem to be more than weally flourishing, a fact which illustrates Dr. Forster's opinion that plants are under the in fluence of epibotanic and enbotanic disorders, just as animals are under that of epizooties, anti men that of epidemics and endemics. This I season, for example, has been almost fatal to the genus Al:amino', while Hyacinthus has escaped, and Pei/War/a been superabuntly prolific. The Crown Imperial for instance has been remarkable large and numerous flowers this spring. We are promised for future num ber* of the Star extracts from a daily journal of Flora. It is proposed to found a small college in New South Wales, which receives the sanction of government, and must be attended with beneficial effects. Some young Scots cler gymen of abilities have been engaged as professors, who are making the necessary preparations to set out for the place. It appears that in 1830, the British ships engaged in im port trade 13,548, and in export trade 12,707 ; while the foreign ships were respectively 5,359, and 5,158. The Bri tish seamen were the same in both trades, viz. 122,000 nearly ; and the foreign crews 41,670 and 39,769, or nine or ten to a British, and seven or eight to a foreign vessel.— The average British tonnage about 170 tons, and foreign 150 tons. It is not a little curious that France and England should at the same moment be engaged in electing representatives, and with kiadred feelings. The object in both countries i dle same, and the situations parallel. The Chamber of Deputies was elected under Polignac —the house of Com mons under Wellington. Both Ministers were displace.l, but their influence remaining, the new governments found the repre , entative bodies less tractable than was de sirable. In France, however, the government accord ed with the Chamber, while in England the Go• vernment insisted on its own popular measures.—The stru!:le, too, will be different, for in Franee the object will be to choose members in opposition to a ministry which succumbed to the late Chambers ; but in England the object will be to return men who will zealously support a patriotic administration. The object in France is strife—that in England unity! Succcis in each will better assure liberty, and in that view the contest is delightful.

EVIDENCE GI \ ON THE AFF Matthew Oisborne, from that time to 1818 . Java,. the demand for British manu'actured cottons, and woollens, and for metals, wan extensive,—the returns made in coffee, sugar, and rice, and occasionally in tin, Japan copper, and spices. The peasantry in Java seem to be in a better condition than those of Bengal, and consume more expensive articles. Their wages are nearly double, The trade between India and this country had increased very much during his residence ; the import of cotton twist from one hundred and twenty four thousand pounds, to 1824. to four million pounds in 1828. Attempts had been made to introduce it ten years before 1820, but ensucessfully. The fall in the price of the article In this country, he believes to have been the cause of its eventual introduction. The whole quantity of cotton goods sent to India bears so small a proportion to Ile consumption of the country, that he does not suppose it bas ma terially interfered with the Indian manufactures, and the agricultural interests will be b. nefited in a greater degree by the necessity of buyin4 their articles in payment for the goods imported. The low prices in Eu. rope end America have contributed to the falling off of the manufacture of Indian cottons. The export of cotton has not increased of late years. It is cultivated solely by the natives . 4 Varopeans clean it farther after it comes into their possession, and pack it. Its quality is inferior to the lowest kind of American cotton. Experiments on a small scale by Eu ?opens have produced cotton which has sold at a shilling per pound. when India cotton generally was from 441 to hd per pound. The im. provement particularly wanted is the introduction of dig/nest semi, the more frequent changing of the seed, and wetter attention to the min utiae. • . The export of sugar has rather increased, but from its Inferiority to West India sugar it cannot be extensively brought Into competision with it. The grain of it is very inferior, and It is less perfectlyfree from impurities. The cane is as good In Bengal as in the West Indies ; and sugar, much superior to that generally sent, is produced by the natives in the district of Burd wan ; but it has coat generally too high a price to make it a profitable remittance. Inc machinery en. played in the predution of sugar in India is of the lowest Jeaciiptiun. —The employment of European skill and c -pita! can alone effect any improvement in the manufacture. The company have made many at. tam pts unsuccessfully ; but they were also unsuccessful in the introduce ion of British manufactures into India,tiU it was opened to the free trader. It is generally thought at Calcut tathat it is impossible for a large Company and Government together to act well as merchants,—the prices of DU commodities, with which they interfere, are driven up to rates which make then unprofitable for those who have to deal in them, and their competition in some branches of trade has altogeiher put an end to the dealings of private merchants. He alludes to the export of silk parti cularly. He thinks the trade of India might be considerably increased by throwing open the China trade, affording more frequent opportuni ties of shipping the produce of Bengal to China, sod having the proceeds ft-invested in tea and other goods, fur shipment to this country—the moneebipe also being available for the trade from India, to China, and M aesised. The export of various other articles has also int:teasel, but the want of returns more suited to the market of Cheat Britain, and the bad qua. lity, generally, of the products of India, are the principal obstacles w the extension of commercial intercourse between the two countries: no improvement in tbequality of products to be expected except form the cultivation of them getting more extensively into the hands of Europeans. Janes RISCHIL. Esq. has resided In India since 1810, as a mer chant; principally in Bombay, making in the intermediate WTI. two Visits to this country, one of them through Persia. The trade greatly increased since then, when there were only four European oteregntile establishments; now ten or twelve. These was thee only one matte-ea tailer of British manufactures in the Basses, sad the consumption of them was very trifling, but the pains taken to adapt them to the twee Of the consumers, and latterly their great cheapness, have been the main cause of the present magnitude of the consumption. In 1830, upwards of twenty-one millions of yards of plain, coloured, and printed cottons were imported into Bombay. Metals are also imported way largely Into India,—every ship almost is ballasted with them. Spelift, which was for merly supplied by China, now comes from this country. and has driven the Chinese tutenague, the same metal under another name, out of the market. The British manufactures are principally consumed at the Presidency, Sutat, the other large towns in our own territories, and lat terly in 34alwah. There is also a considerable export to Persia, and the ports in the Bed Sea. In the southern part of Persia the bazaars were quite filled with British manufactures, but in the northern part there were none to be seen but French and German. In Malabar and the southern parts of the Madras territory, there were no British manufac tures in the bazaars, when he passed through that country in 1819 and 1820. The returns from Persia are mostly bullion and silk ; the quantities of the latter have greatly increased of late, and it is very extensively exported also to Russia and Turkey. He saw, in passing through Egypt, the cultisation or cotton there, and the Pasha's establishment for manufacturing cotton twist. It was a low numbered yam, strong, but very unequal. Some bad been sent to Indio, lit-it was not liked by the relives i—he doubts whether it will ammo a speculatiou. He entertains doubts of the cultivation of cotton in the Bombay ew e. &Meng by Europeans succeeding ; the experiments already made key ing all failed, and the plantations being fee the moat part abaadoned. The Goverament in ludia has laeilitaW such experiments, the hoists of which, according to his notion, is not attributable to any obstacles or vexatious regulations imposed by the Company. T is not ma nufactured in the Bo m bay Presidency. The sugar cane every where cultivred, every village has a patch of it, but the natives only make it into a substance like molsoses. It can be imported cheaper. Tobacco is extensively produced throughout our tenitoyies , but it is, timidly speaking. d. fective in the curing, and will not bear the voy. age ; being very I able to heat and rot on the passage • some that he has imported sold higher limit any American in the mkriet. A free intercourse between Great Britain and Bombay with China would greatly facilitate the transmission of funds. He believes ' that evety facility will be given and is now given by the Government to any attempts to improve the cultivation of the country. European can now hold lands there on certain conditions. About two years ago the regulations on this head were telexed. He neva expert. eneed any o.r..aele to his travelling in the interior, nor were his passp”Stat ever demanded. He had letters of introduction to the principal officers almost every where.
