SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Coamcieme.—An Irish member of great influence stated, last night, to , gentleman, who was our informant, that an insurrection had broken out in one of the counties of Ireland ; and letters were yesterday re• m i re d by gentlemen connected with the county of Meath, stating that t h e agricultural population in five or six districts of that county had turned out in large bodies, compelling everywhere all the people at a wl to join them in demanding the lowering of rents and augmenta tion of wages. HEIALD.—Among the reforms which the Lord Chancellor pro. t o introduce into the Courts of Equity, one of the soundest in =irk, and most beneficial in practice, is the substitution okra ',we testimony for written evidence obtained through the medium of written interrogatories. Courts of Equity, like the Ecclesiastical Courts, are of foreign importation. They are exotics to the soil, and have been transplanted into England from the institutionsof Imperial and Pon. deal Rome, with their own peculiar principles relative to the adminis. nation of jucire. which, though endured among us forages, have never been natura lized, and, indeed, never can assimilate with the native prin. ciples of oar constitutional jurisprudence. To revolutionize this @yam altogether—to sweep away the un-English maxims, the inquisitorial and arbitrary power—the absurd subtleties of practice, and rapacious exactions connected with it, would be a task worthy of a man inspired by the noble ambition to earn a pure and immortal fame by :services of the most splendid utility to his country. The talents and the inde fatigable energy of Lord Brougham render him equal to the task. His inclinations are, we believe, for a complete and thorough r earm ; and if he have the moral intrepidity to persevere in the course which he has commenced, and does not allow himself to be turned aside from this great object by the little censure of pedantic ca villers or the interested clamour of the venal supporters of abuse, he will achieve a work which will cause his name to be held in enligh. tcned admiration ae the benefactor—of a people, when the perishable conflicts of party shall have been forgotten. To most of the princi. pies which he proposes to act upon we can give our unqualified praise. The setting aside the present Lists of Commissioners of Bankrupts, and separating the jurisdiction in bankruptcy from the Court over which he presides, is an alteration of which the necessity has been long felt by the public, but which takes from the office of Lord Chancellor s quantity of profit and patronage which none of those who heretofore held the Great Seal were willing to resign. Ttstne.—The motives assigned for the restlessness on the subject of emigration is the absolute certainty, as it is endeavoured to make us be lieve, that there is a redundancy of hands. Now we happen to do more than doubt s' this self-evident proposition :" and with some information from all parts of the kingdom, we are fully of opinion that there is more work which ought to be done, in all those districts where the dis. tr ess of the labourer has been the most striking, than there are hands :o do it. However, it may be said, there being unemployed hands, no matter from what cause, it is better to remove them than to take the chance of the /knish market being able to find them employment. But how remove them ? Lord Howick says, at the expense of the parish, by borrowing money upon the:rates. We have not had misery , n ough in a national point of view, we suppose, from anticipating our future revenues, but we must anticipate our parochial revenues also, eb ? And who is to maintain the residue of infirm and aged paupers in a pa. rich when the persons capable of labour (and such are the only fit sub iects for emigration) are removed ? We say, that (without some other cruse operating) the rates would immediately increase in a parish after (very act of emigration ; and for this cause—that the labouring poor can always do something towards the maintenance of t heir aged and infirm relatives, who, after the em igration _ of their supporters, must fall wholly on the rates. Many plough-boy brings home his cighteeo.pena or half-a-crown a week to his grandmother or widowed mother, whhoo, but for this help, must come wholly to the parish All emigration bills violate nature and harrow up the feeling ; but Lord Howick's measure is of a character abeo. lutely atrocious. The unhappy fugitive still supports his courage when he takes leave of all that is dear to him in earth with some vague idea that he shall be able to return at some future period to the scenes of his infancy. But Lord Howick's proposition is, that the emigrant, when once started, shall never be owed to return to his native lad, so as to be again chargeable on the rates I What law, that Is not opposed to every principle of humanity, can bar the ports of his country against an individual whose only crime is poverty ? And blow can It be ascertained, a priori, whether a returning emigrant will how after become chargeable on parochial rates or not ? The author of the bill talks likes recruiting serjeant in a country fair, of his 3a. 6d. a day as labourers' wages in Canada. But let it be reeolleetd, that without other documents, high wages may mean only dearness of provisions ; and in any case 31. 6d. a day is not enough to secure a provision for old age in a coun. try where them are no parish rata,—no almshouses, founded by benevo lent sweaters. We have little doubt, therefore, b u t th at such a bill would be a grievous aggravation of individual suffering and of the pub. lie difficulties. and hope it will die quietly r but Uwe find any vigo. cons attempt made to carry It, we shall, without scruple, expose the folly and the ignorance, mixed with the intolerable conceit, °Me pro. jectors of these notable chemes for taxing every parish, and banishing OUT industrious and able-bodied labourers. NSWARK ELECTION.—FinaI close of the poll, fourth day, Feb. 21, Three o'clock. Hadley woo • • • •••• ••••••iwi Wilde Wilkins . .. The King of Prussia has sent, through his Ambassador, Baron Bulow, fifty guineas to the Seaman's Hospital esta blished on board the Grampus. William Marsden, Esq. formerly Secretary to the Admi alty, has relinquished the whole of his pension of 1,5001. a-year, granted to him by Government on his retiring from office. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following captains were sworn in to the command of their respective ships, viz. :—Captain Robert Locke. Duke of York : Captain James Kellaway, Bombay, for China direct. The undermentioned commanders took leave:of the Court previous to departing for their respective destinations, viz. —Captain William Hope, Herefordshire ; Captain Tho mas Shepherd, Hytbe, for Bombay and China ; and Capt. Hamilton Blair Avarne, Warren Hastings, for St. Helena, Prince of Wales' Island, and China. Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India House for the election of a Director in the room of Sweny Toone, Esq. who has disqualified. At six o'clock the glasses were closed and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the election to hare fallen on R. Ellice, Esq. Miss Mordaunt, who has recently retired from the boards of Drury, without giving the manager or proprietor the slightest notice of her intention so to do, has entered into an engagement for life with Alexander Neabitt, Esq. The par ties being both infants, were united by banns. The cere mony was solemnized at Stepney Church. The Anti- Reform Address presented to his Majesty at the Levee yesterday, from the Merchants and Gentlemen of Bris tol, contains no lees than 5,000 signatures; and the residences are all affixed to the names. It was presented by the Duke of Beaufort, accompanied by the Bishop of Bristol, Sir Charles Wetherell (the Recorder), and the Members for the City._ post. The wine trade yesterday received n o ti ce f rom t h e Chancellor of the Exchequer that all duties on wines since the day the Budget was announced will be ss. 6d. per gallon, Cape excepted ; and that the merchants will be held responsible to Government for all that has been sent to customers since that day. The Roman Catholic inhabitants of various parishes in Ireland have presented addresses to the Marquis of An glesey, thanking him for the firmness and decision he has evinced, and expressive of their confidence in his attachment to the country and his wish to serve it. A friend to whom we have often been indebted for im portant information assures us that he has received a letter stating that a formidable Austrian army is in a state of forward preparation for the field, and that young Napoleon will accom- Parry it. If this intelligence be correct, we should think that the destination of the force alluded to is Italy, the Austrian provinces of which begin to manifest unfriendly feelings towards their Sovereign, rather than the more hazardous ser ?lce for which the correspondent of our friend supposes it to be intended.—Post. FRom THE QUECEC PAPERS.— Ttmnzz Tannz.—The Principle maintained by the Gentlemen who compose the Sew Ministry, in regard to the existing protection given to' the Timber Trade of Canada, by high duties on Baltic Tun ter, and some little Debate s in Parliament, have ex alarm in the Province that they will support an ED..

The Earl of Rosebery, Viscount Duncannon, and Mr. Michael Angelo Taylor, were introduced, and sworn in privy councillors, and took their seats at the Board. After the breaking up of the Privy Council, the Cabinet Ministers retired to a private room, and held a Cabinet Council. The Ministers sat in deliberation a considerable time. Yesterday morning, her Majesty, accompanied by the Marchioness of Ely, attended divine service at St. James's church, and heard a sermon by the Bishop of London, being the first of a series of lectures which are to be delivered on Wednesday mornings during Lent. HER MAJESTY'S BIRTH DAY. This being the day appointed to keep her Ma jesty's birth-day, at ten o'clock this morning, the Ist Regiment of Grenadier Foot Guards marched from their barracks, in the Bird-cage-walk, accompanied by their band in their state uniforms, on to the pa rade : shortly after they were joined by the mounting-guard of the Royal Horse Guards, (Blue), with their band in full dress. At half-past ten, Prince George of Cumberland, Prince George of Cambridge, Lord Hill, Colonel Hill. and several military officers, rode on to the Parade. The troops marched past in open order, after which they went through several manreuvres, and then passed the young Princes in close order, with their bands playing. The hands then pro ceeded to St James's Palace. The young Princes, on their return to the Palace, were much cheered by the people. Notwithstanding the wetness of the morning, there was a great number of persons assembled. Her Majesty holds her first drawing room to-day. wesmeist BRIGHTON, Fes. 22. Colonel and Mrs. Fox remain at the Pavilion. They yes terday dined with the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. VERNOW. The town now is comparatively dull. The generosity of their MAJESTIES during their stay with us, especially u regards the charitable local Institutions ' has left an impression of gratitude that can never be effaced. The Grenadier Guards march hence on Friday. Sir Richard and Lady Hunter are preparing for a splendid entertainment at their Grand Parade residence, to which they parpole inviting their numerous circle of fashionable friends. Again we have fine open hunting weather. Sir Robert Wilmot, Captain Quicke, and a field of about forty sports men, met the Subscription Harriers at Patcham yesterday. The first hare was found in Greendran Botton, which acudded to Poynings, came back to Greendran, and, after a species of hide-and-seek run, which lasted an hour, was lost 'at North Howth. Found a second at Patcham, and killed at Withdran. A third was started at the latter place, which afforded agreeable play for three quarters of an hour. Her Majesty having signified her intention of being pre sent at the delivery of a lecture by the Bishop of London, at St. James's-church, a notice was sent round to the beadles, &c. to be in attendance yesterday, at the same time they were desired not to give the least information on the subject, as her Majesty wished to come privately : at 11 o'clock three carriages arrived, the first containing the ladies in waiting, the second her Majesty and the Princess Augusta Sophia, and the third Earl Howe, as lord in waiting. Her Majesty was conducted to the Bishop of London's pew. The church was crowded to excess, among whom were several of I .the nobility : so great was the desire to see her Majesty at her departure, that it was with great difficulty a passage could be made for her to reach the car liege, while at the entrance an immense number of persons congregated and cheered her Majesty as she left the abaxeh. Ten Peers, 111 Magistrates, 260 landed proprietors, 300 land and householders, &c. in all over 900, have signed the county Cork declaration in favour of the Union. copr OF THE ADDRESS PR,ESENTED TO 1111 MAJESTY AT THE LEVER YASTERDAY. From Thirty County Magistrates, many of the Dignified Clan, and 13,645 Inhabitants of Wiltshire ; also front Twenty of the Principal Towns, comprising Fifteen of the Boroughs, by John Thomas Alayne Esq. of Te ff ont-house, in that County, and which was mos graciously received. TO HIS MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY KING WILLIAM THE FOURTH. Star--Second to no one in attachment to your Majesty's person and Government, to the illustrious House of Brunswick, in love of my country, or in seal for the restoration of the original purity of the British Constitution, admiring, in common with my countrymen, those princely, wise, and liberal feelings, for which you are so distinguished. as the organ, and the request of the undermentioned 3lagistracy and dignified Clergy, std also nearly 14,000 individuals of all classes, I humbly, but honestlysod respectfully, proceed (with your Majesty's gracious per mission) on behalf of so many respectable inhabitants of the county of Wilts, to declare their warm and sincere attachment to your Majesty's i p person, to the al Family, and to the Constitution of this country as by law establ at the glorious Revolution in 1688. That they ave for a length of time viewed with apprehension and alarm the many and increas in g encroachments made upon the rights and liberties of the people, in consequence of the undue and unconstitutional influence exercised by some of the Aristocracy (arising principally from their increasing possession of the decayed boroughs) at the election of Members, and on their votes in the Commons' House of Parliament. That they consider the effect of such influence to have been the prin. dpal cause why the Ministers of the Crown have hitherto resisted every measure of substantial reform, and also those of economy and retrench ment, so necessary to be rigidly enforced in every department of the public service ; the consequence of which has been that the country continues burdened after lb years of profound peace, with a weight of taxation, direct and indirect, which has produced grist distress and ex citement in this once happy and peaceful country. They beg most respectfully and humbly to request the'exercise of your Majesty's authority to obtain fur them an immediate remission of those taxes which are most felt by the labouring and industrious classes, such as the imposts on malt, soap, and candles, with a reduction of th ose rout tea and sugar : they are also desirous of the repeal of the whole of the assessed taxes, and instead thereof that the necessities of the state shoull be supplied by a graduated property tax, which would relieve the 'Amor and tradesman, enable them to give more employment to the industrious classes, and, where necessary, to increase the rate of wages. That they look forward with hope and confidence to the Ministry just formed under the auspices of your Majesty (combining, as it does, so many men of rank and talent who have on many occasions proved ' themselves the friends of the people), and doubt not they will have your Majesty's sanction and support in the attempt to remedy (as far as is consistent with the safety of the State) the evils complained of, which will insure to them the united and determined support of those on whose authority I presume to deliver this address, kerning a large portion of the brave, patient, industrious, and still loyal population of Wiltshire. Should the great measure of reform in Parliament, which now agitates all classes in the State, prove full and efficient, it will never be forgotten that for so happy a change, to you, Sire, would your people be indebted; you would unite all hearts in affection and gratitude; and thus, besides being the most powerful and generous, you would be the most happy o: Sovereigns. Having thus, with deep-felt respect, discharged my duty to my coon try, and to a Sovereign who I pray GoD may long continue to reign over us, I humbly subscribe myselfour Majmty's most dutiful, de voted, and humble servant, JOHN THOMAS MAYNE.

We understand the whole have been obtained through the individual exertions of Mr. MAYNE, of Teffont, who has personally visited every town and populous village in the county, during the last three months.

A deputation of Gentlemen from Gravesend have Lad an interview Kith the CHANCELLOR of the EXCH EQU ER, in which they described the ruinous effects of any tax affecting Steam Boats, at a time in which the business had not yet returned the capital so recently embarked. A modification was promised ; but the CHANCELLOR asserted that the tax could not be abandoned. The Merchants and persons engaged in Printed Cottons have had a meeting, to protest against the ruinous effects to them, of no drawback being conceded on stocks on hand. They allege that the goods are of a description not adapted to export, and, therefore, that they are not relieved by a drawback on export. Amidst all the parliamentary discussions, the questions of the currency, and relief to all those ruined by the changes, are never once mooted. What is it, however, that has thrown so much labour out of employment, but the sudden abstraction cf the currency ? What is it that renders com petition amcng manufacturers so ruinous to all, but the want of facilities of currency ? What is it that has destroyed all retail trade, and produced so general a stagnation, but the inadequacy of me currency ? What is it that renders taxes so unbearable, but the want of currency to sustain transac tions, profits, and enterprizes ? What is it that has reduced rents below the interest of mortgages and the means of living, but the operation of Peet. s Bill? Yet the cur rency question is vainly considered as settled ; and altera tions and palliatives, as absurd, as inefficient and irrelevant, are introduced, while the real cause of all our social diseases is affectedly overlooked !
