rroject of taw relative to the Police of the Journals. The •nnii“inri has been under the necessity of rejecting all the nted since the 6th instant.' M. ,ic Chativeliii, having obtained a copy of this ulcer, and comparing its date with the publica of the article of M.

The Keeper of the Seals has declared, that he has been enlightened by the ted article of M. Fievee, and has resolved to a its suggestion as an amendment of his Bill.

French Papers d ,Friday and Saturday have been rived : the latter, which came by express, are :d with the report of a •ery interesting debate, ich took place in the Chamber of Deputies on the Nling day, and which exhibits, in a striking titer, the state of parties in the Chamber. The le originated in a Petition from M. Spy, which jed what the Ministers have been endeavouring carry into effect, that offences of the Press should tried by Judges, and cease to be submitted to a .y. It was proposed to refer this Petition to the )mittee appointed to examine the Law Project the Offences of the Press. M. FOY opposed the :inn, and said the Chamber ought to pass to the Jer of the Day, because the Petitioner applied for law diametrically opposed to the Chatter. It was, said, an insult to the Throne and to the Chamber, the Petition should be 'ejected with contempt. M. de CHAUVELIN followed on the same side, and 'fanned in severe terms the conduct of the Co vent in respect to the Censorship, which was :ised in a very partial manner, tolerating insults, tolerating them on one side only. The Censor 1, he said, prevented discussion ; and he would a pool* of it in their Circular to the Journalists, taking the insertion of any article of discussion the Law Project relating to the Journals, and de -ing that they had found it necessary to refuse all :les presented to them since the 6.h of the month. M. BENJAMIN CoNsva N'r sail the Censorship was more vexatious or more scandalous than at the moment. Several other Members spoke on same side, and the discussion was rather a stormy The Ministers disavow the Circular of the' irs ; and, from a view of all the circumstances, pears probable that, in order to retain their places, well as conciliate the Chamber, they will abandon most obnoxious part of their new law on the Indeed, we think they must do it t ‘for, judging the spirit which pervades the Chamber of Depu and their decided hostility to the measure, it is likely that the Ministers can carry it. Tlie Papers of Friday contain nothing interesting, 'IA the account of the death of the Duchess of 1 BoußauN, who, when paying her devotions at the Church of St. Genevieve, was taken suddenly ill, and died within a few hours after, Au article from Constantinople, dated the 11th of December, states, that the Porte had notified ptrblicly that the Scbah of Persia had disavowed all the acts sf hostility carried on by his son in the invasion of Kurdistan. This news is not, however, entitled to credit, as the Persians were known to be encamped rear Erzerurn so late as the 26th of November. The . speculations in these Papers, respecting the Russian ultimatum, are not entitled to the slightest notice.— 'Tim intelligence from Spais, is. less recent than that already received direct from Madrid. Extract of a letter from Bermuda, dated Novem hl ( 4):—" In consequence of accounts from Nor ' Yolk of the failure of the crops in England, flour has advanced in this market to 88s. per bushel by retail; corn, one dollar per bushel; and other dry provisions iu the same proportion. This rise proceeded from the above information, and not from any demand in this market." Extract of a letter from Quebec, dated December 4: —" Thenavigation has closed : the first floating ice on the St. Lawren . ce made its appearance on the 29th of November. On Tuesday morning the Swiftsure left this city, on her last trip for Montreal ; and the same day the London, being the last vessel ready for sea, sailed for Liverpool. The steam ferry-boat has been laid up for the winter. The wind, since Sunday afteinoon, has continued westerly, so that there is a prospect of all the vessels, which met no accident in the bale of Saturday night, having got safe out of , the river." Porto Cabello was still in possession of the Boy.: Alists on the 2d of November. The inhabitants and troops were d)ing very fast of the dysentery, which :vas caused by their not being able to procure fresh provisions, vegetables, or good water.

The Duchess of BOURBON, whose death is men tioned in the French Papers, was of the Orleans fa mily, being aunt to the present Duke. She was born in the year 1750, and was mart ied to the Duke of Boult• BON in 1770. Their only issue was the late unfortunate Duke d'ENottEIN. The Duke of BOURBON, on the death of his father, the Prince of CONDE, who died since the testoration, did not assume the title, saying, with great modesty, that he did not think himself worthy of being the last of the CONDV?. Last week a circumstance occurred near Broad street, St. Giles's, which de,erves to be recorded. A poor family, who had been in arrear for rent, had a distress put into the house, while they were all turned into the street, although the poor woman had only been confined twelve days. A mob was soon col lected round the door, and who, when acquainted 'with the circumstances, were loud in their expressions of indignation at the unfeeling landlord. Fortunately for the poor family, Dr. BRODUM was passing at the time. He inquired of the wretched woman the cause of her distress, and immediately prevented the Broker from removing the F.:rads, by settling his demand to the amount of T 3. 17s. 6d. He by this means restored the poor family to their house, and giving them a sovereign, left them in ignotance of the name of their generous benefactor, until informed of it by some person to whom the worthy Doctor was known, Every day brings to LLOYD'S the fatal effects of the late gales of wind, which appear to have extended themselves to every coast of Europe. Letters from Les Sables, of the 30th ult. state, that the coast for thirty leagues is coveted with wrecked vessels and parts of their cargoes, consisting of pepper, coffee, oranges, nuts, elephant teeth, Dutch cheese, soap, north country timber ; in short, almost every .article of commerce is strewed on the beach.

IRELAND. MURDERS IN KERRY. COHERSEVERN, JANUARY 6. The Rev. Mr. Dowling, who is curate to the Rev. Maynard Denny. and has also dealt largely as a tithe farmer, or what is vulgarly called a tithe proctor— and a Magistrate—obtained, some time ago, a civil bill decree against William Casey, of Aghort, in the Glynn. The cause of action was the hire of a bull— not a very dignified cause ofaction for a Clergyman. Friday last, the Rev. Mr. Dowling sent to have this decree executed. For this purpose he employed three men ; one of whom was named Sughrue, who was a pensioner, and a man of very bad character. This man was armed with a case of pistols. When they arrived at Casey's, they seize,d one or two cows, where upon a mob, consisting principally of women and boys, surrounded them, and rescued the cattle ; amongst the rescuers was a son of Casey's, a lad of about 18 ; and Sughrue snapped one ,of the pistols at him, but fortunately it missed fire, and no farther mischief then occurred save the rescue. Sughrue and his party then went to the public-house near the Strand, where they were followed by an elder son of Casey's, who went to settle the business with them ; he told them he had not the money then, but that it should be certainly paid to Mr. Dowling the follow ing Sunday : with this they seemed satisfied, and having procured some whiskey, they departed. How ever, unfortunately, this business had collected a number of people together, many out of mere curio sity, and several, perhaps, from worse waives ; Sughrue and his patty, instead of going home, wesu. out of their way to where the people were collected: a woman exclaimed, that Sughrue ought to be de prived of his arms ; on which he went up to young Casey, who had been in the rescue, and shot him through the head. There was an immed'ate attack frog the crowd ; Sughrue was disarmed and killed on the spot, and the other two were severely beaten. LYNN ELECTlON.—Wednesday, the MArquis of TICHFIELD was elected, without opposition, to re present this Borough in Parliament, in the room lof Sir M. B. FOLKES, Bart. deceased. Fifteen Clerks have been discharged from the Dub lin Post Office; and it is said further reductions will shortly take place. It is our opinion that little good can result from these minor measures. In the present bustle for places, the Irish Papers, as well as some Journals in this country, are indulg ing in the " Pqr direct," in favour of a Noble Lord, to fill the place of Postmaster-General of Ireland, should Lord O'NEIL be prevailed upon to resign. How much more satisfied would the Public be, if, instead of this place-hunting system, Ministers were to abolish lucrative and useless places, in the present distressed state of the country, when economy is so ab solutely necessary in every department of the State ! Tuesday, the LORD PROVOST, Magistrates, and Council of Edinburgh unanimously elected ROBERT ANDERSON, Esq. to be Dean of Guild, in the room of, JOHN Tuntcsum,,PEsq. now Chamberlain of the City. Thursday, in the Hi ; l Court of Justiciary, John Paterson Lawson was tried for a robbery committed in the Edinburgh Police Office. Being found guilty, the LORD ADVOCATE sentenced him to fourteen years' transportation; on which the prisoner said—" GOD bless you, my Lord! that is just what I waqted." In the High Court. of Justiciary, on Friday last, William Armstrong was tried for the murder of Wm. Ferries, on the 21st of November last. It appeared that Ferries had, with some of his companions, been drinking freely, when he determined to call at Mr. Armstrong's and inquire for Tibby Murray, a young girl who lived there. His friends, unable to dissuade him from going, followed him ; when Mr. Armstrong, whose house had been attacked a short time before, mistaking the young men for robbers, fired at them, and had the misfortune to kill Ferries. Mr. JEFFREY defended the prisoner, when, after a charge from the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE CLERK, the. Jury returned a verdict of Culpable Homicide, but earnestly recom mended him to the leniency of the Court. This re commendation was seconded by the Crown Counsel, and the pi ironer was sentenced to one month's im prisonment in Dtlmfries Jail. During last night and the early part of this morn ing, the wind was so very high that considerable damage was done- on the River Thames, by some barges breaking from their moorings, one of which,' running foul of the rudder of a West-coning barge, at Bank side, carried it away. In the new buildings erecting in Stepney-fields, the gable end f one of the houses was blown down ; and, on the 1211.Trd•road, an elm-tree was torn up by the roots unatalT no per s on was burt. tlicitrtivc rVrtzticisere Stitt N G At .

She resumed the. lead, and won the race by several lengths • and bad it not been for breaking, she would have won within the.three minutes. The time occupied was three minutes two seconds. The party be longing to the chesnut expressed di,satisfaction at their rider, and offered to match again for goo guineas a-side, and the people els pected another race, but it was off again. BOXING, At the conclusion of the great Trotting Match, it was deter+ mined upon that the game should be kept alive, and a subscrip tion purse was soon collected, and all was in motion for Mout sey Hurst, where the C.onsissorsvGesteralvras In readiness to re.= ceive his forces. The heroes for the continuance of the sport were Edmonds, the Hertfordshire man, and Goode, a protege of Spring. from Herefordshire. Oliver seconded lid ponds, with Seroggins as bottle-holder; and Spring and Tom Jones picked up Goode. ROUNI3 I. The men turned to for more than an hour and a half's work, and in the first round each missed their blows, and Goode was thrown. S. Some smart exchanges. and Goode gate the fall. • 3,4, and 5. These rounds produced sonar merry visaing, ana the claret was sprinkled about. Here the men got tired, and they made some pulley-hanley rounds to the advantage of Edmonds, who had superior length and strength. 12. This was a good round in faVotir of Goode, who dropped his adversary, but not with that gaiety which sets the upper works chiming. The next six rounds *ere spent in scrambling for falls, in which Goode got much exhausted. . . . . _ . 19. Goode received a right-handed cask under the tug, which put his chances on, One side, and although he fought on, he never forgot this hit, and at lingth was beat by refusing time. Another turn-up took place on Twickenham Common, at darkee, between Mot and Field a navigator. It was a manly stand-up fight, and was won by Moss in twenty minutes. THE CHAMPION,-NEAt. • A few Lads of the Fancy had a dinner at xir. Wm. Hoid,er's, the White Horse, in the Horse Pair, Bristol, on Tuesday, the Bth instant, for the purpoSe of congratulating the Champion, Neat, upon the successful issue of the late contest for the Cham pionship at Hungerford Downs, and also to present him with * Silver Tankard, voted to him by a few friends frequenting the . above house. A most excellent dinner was rovlied, at which the company st.l-to with a determination orwell stitring the Vic tualling-Office, before they commenced netting their necks. Girt and take was the order of the day; and though many a fowl bit was given, the Umpire allowed it to pass, in order, 'as an in veterate Word-pecker Observed, " to ivoid rnakingfieh of one and flesh of another. When the cloth was witficitiben, the Cliaitman, threw out the signal for suitters,Which was readily obeyed. He then gave " The King," and the enthusiastic applause that followed this tout, spoke plainly that " all was right." The next toasts were : " The Duke of Wellington ard. the Army."—" The Navy of Ergland." The Chairman then rose, and addressed the Champion in the following manner:—" Mr. William Neat, as Chairman of this company, I become the humble repre sentative in presenting you with this Tankard and their best Wishes, as a mark of their respect for your manly and unasa Auming conduct in the late combat on Ilungerford Miens; on which occasion you not only attained but fairly and honourably carried the proud title of Champion of England, and which title has, I believe, without interval, for mauy years past, been attached to a native of this city or its neighbourhood; but for some months previous to the late contest, the Championship had been on the wave, till through you the laurels have been again fully reinstated—even those who were inimical to your cause in the fight, could not avoid bestowing their meed of ap. probation for your demeanour on that day." Turning towards the company, the Chairman thus proceeded: " Gentlemen, I hope I shall not be going too far in reverting to the general coSI duct of Wm. Neat. Most of us present have known him many years, and though Nature has gifted him with superior strength, if he has acquired the other requisites of the art, he has never' presumed, or used that prowess wantonly—in other word.% Mr. Neat was never known to insult man or mortal. I am convinced these remarks will not be rnistsktn by him, and hope the Gt-n -tlemen present will rot think that I am taking too much on my.. self; at all events I ask their indulgence. Turning to the Champion, he said—" We wish you prosperity, happiness, and the very best of health." This just tribute to private worth was received with loud and contieued applause, and when it had sets sided Neat rose, evidently i.ff.cted by the scene, and addressed the company nearly as follows :—" Mr. Chairman and Gentle• men, you are well aware that I am rot in the habit of melting speeches, and I am at a loss Cur words to express my thanks to you, for the handsome present you have this day made me; but I feel it here--(sitliong his hand on his breast). I have the plea sure of drinking your very good healthy, with your wives and families, those that have any, wishing you health and happiness % and GOD bless you all." It is needless to say this reply was re+ celled as it was meant, and if all Orators could convey so much meanies in so few words, some of the big wigs would not befiatis. tag thou- gabs for two or three hours at a hutch, like Mr. Ilume, at Hereford, in returning thanks for a jug of cider. When Neat had concluded, the Tankard was filled with Sherry, and the cora. parry drank out of it, to the health and happiness of the Chant. pion. The following were among the numerous toasts given ;-.4 Messrs. Belcher and Harmer, and thanks.to them for their attentive conduct in the late tight ;" three times three.—" Mr. Gulley."—* Success to the City of Bristol, and ' may its Com merce tiourish."—" The Chairman ;" three times three.—" The Landlord, with thank' for his good dinner."—" The friends of Neat all over the world."—" The soil that gave us blob, and may we know how to value it."—During the evening there were several excellent glees chaunted by some'amateUrs and a profes. sional Gentleman, and nothing occurred to disturb the harmony of the meeting. The company slid nut separate till an early bout on the followinz morning. Nothing likejlinching was discovered. No Regular was of the party, but all were out-and-outers, and retired to their dabs satisfied with the occurrences of the day. P EDESTIZ I A \ISM.
