IMPORTANT EVENT.—Letters have been received from Corfu, stating that an insurrection had broken out in the Greek Islands of a most formidable kind, and ti,r which secret preparations had been making for a long time. It is understood that the Insur gents have been supplied from Odessa with warlike stores of every description, that numbers of o ffi cers have received Russian passports to pass over to the Islands, and that considerable treasure has been amassed to forward the attempt. There is no doubt but that the Greeks act in concert with Russia, and that what was foreseen by every able statesman will speedily be realised. The Emperor Alexander will make the emancipation of the Greeks the pretext for an attack upon Constantinople ; and it is most batik that this was to he his epiralent tin acqui escing in the subjugation of Italy by Austria. Here then, if this news, which is communicated to us by letters of high authority, we have the commence ment of a war in which we cannot fail to be involved, unless we are willing to submit to the unbridled ambition of these Despots, and quietly see the Turkish dominions, the lonian Islands, Malta, Italy, and Sicily, delivered over to them. THE Catholic Bill (the two having been incorpo rated into one) has passed the House of Commons, and been introduced to the Lords by Sir John Newport, who (in the regretted absence of Mr. Plunkett, by whom it was brought in) has gained credit with all parties by the efficient and gentlemanly manner in which he has conducted its progress.— As we anticipated lust week, the Lord Chancellor and Lord Liverpool each discharged his artillery of opposition to this Bill, and we have no doubt will redeem the promise they gave of opposing it in every stage, and however it may be modified —but is the House of Lords—the inherent branch of our legislature—to be ruled by the dictum of intolerance, pronounced by two men, in opposition to justice, honour, honesty, and gratitude. We do not mean to impugn the motives of these lords—we doubt not they act from the most conscientious feel ing, but we do know that the view they take of the measure is founded in bigotry and narrowness, and we trust,fervently trust we shall see them defeated— we are not yet without hope of seeing that time, when a man may be allowed to serve his country, without any stipulations whatever on the score of his religious creed—whether he address his hymn of gratitude to the east or to the west, and we would impress upon our readers, and the country at large the applicability on this subject of the divine interrogatory--" Who has made thee a judge between him and me ?" Lord Castlereagh appears deterinin ed not to be too popular—his honest endeavours on the Catholic Bills gave rise, perhaps, to a fear that he might be esteemed by the country (a fear we sincerely believe to be entirely unfounded), and he therefore mustered all his forces to oppose the repeal of the New Malt Tax, for the abolition of which a majority of the House had declared a necessity, and for the continuance of which not one honest reason can be assigned. Nevertheless, and we speak it with deference to the House of Commons, that honourable House, acting, en Giroudle, threw out the Bill on its second reading, which they had declared desirable, necessary, and just, on a prior evening—how long the House may remain as it is we know not, but while its 'notes are opposed to the ardent wishes of the People, it certainly appears to us an anomaly to call its Members the ' " Representatives of the Commons of England."— To allude to any one speech in support of the Bill may seem partial, but its excellence demands that we call our readers attention to the second speech of Mr. COKE upon the subject. The Game Laws have given rise to an animated debate in the House of Commons—the aristocratical part of the community laud these disgraces to our statute-book, because they " draw a line of distinc tion between the upper and lower classes," as if a merchant, with an income of ten or twenty thousands per annum, had not as good a relish, and us good a claim to a hare, a partridge, or a pheasant, as a man possessed of land enough, not to keep, but to starve, his family upon. The motion for the repeal of the Agricultural Horse Tax, it will be seen, has been withdrawn, on an understanding that the recom mendation of the Agricultural Committee, now sitting, if it go to that point, shall be acceded to. We received a Hamburgh mail yesterday morning, from which the following are extracts : CssiEt, March Y4,—We know here no founda tion whatever for the report ,which we find in the tletnhurgh Corre.spmdcalcir, of territorial acquisiti ons, likely to be made by the Kingdom of Hanover, in the County of Schaumburg, in consequence of . the death of the late Elector of Hesse. SToetcitoos, March 20 —A reasonable proposal having been made to alter the mode hitherto adopted, for calculating the amount of the import duty on forei , n w.ad, his Majesty has decided that the duties shal(henceforward be estimated according to the vajue of the article. Bygger still refuses to confirm his statements by evideace. By the latest accounts from the town of Gefle, the province of Gefltikland, we learn that the wolves have devoured several children in the neigh bourhood. A girl nineteen years of age has also been a victim to these ravenous creatures. The King . has given 8,000 dollars from his privy purse, fur the sufferers by the fire at Wimmerby. It is positively affirmed that the application made by the Ex King of Sweden to tlic; Norwegian diet, to obtain the rights of a citizen in Norway, is to be considered as having never existed. COPENHAGEN, March 27.—The shares of the Asiatic company 4,800 in number, are for 400 dol. lan specie each In the general meeting, on the 15th January, the directors were also authorised by the proprietors to take suitable steps ter the recovery of 500,000 dollars, which sum was lust by the occupation of Serampore by the English, in 1808. The recovery of this last sum is considered as in some measure uncertain, notwithstanding the solemn declaration of Lord Minto that all private property should be respected. Three persons lately deceased, have left in the whole a capital of about two millions, which, if the amount of Bank-notes in circulation is taken at twenty-five millions, makes one-twelfth of the whole circulating medium of the kingdom. By recent lettters from France we learn, that a squadron is assembled at Toulon, composed of French, Neapolitan, Netherland, and Russian ves sels. Two Russian frigates have already arrived, the Neva and Commerce de Paris; they are put under the orders of the French commander. The funds it seems non to be pretty well ascer tained that it is a Bull account ut the Stock Ex. change, and the funds arc consequently heavy.— Consols for money having declined to 71i, and for the account to 72, The efforts of the Jews to rally have proved unsuccessful ; and the sanguine ex. pectations that amsols for account would reach 74i, have not been realized as yet, nor is there any good reason to suppose they will reach that quotation this month. At the present the consols are 71i for money and 72 for the account. Ships, &c. building, Chatham Dock-yard:— ➢UILDING. Guns.

There is just published by a Gentleman of talent, a Me moir of Sir FRANCIS COLOMBINE DANIEL, M.D. Inventor of the Life Preserver, and Institutor of the Masonic Charity, which has provided for near a Thousand Boys. It is accompanied with an elegant Portrait, engraved by Roberts, from an original and highly finished painting, by Daniel Orme, Esq. in which is pourtrayed one of the Masonic Charity Buys, the Life Preserver, and other appropriate Ensignia. It gives a detail of Sir Francis's various pursuits, with original Anecdotes, and his connection with the Medical Board, as well as the Masonic, and other Charities. We find among his horses, he possessed the celebrated Phenomena, trotting mare, whose pedigree of which is here faithfully recorded. This production is from an acquaintance of up wards of 20 years with Sir Francis, to whom the author was introduced by the late Admiral Sir Wm. Douglas; and the Work is concluded with the fol. lowing just reflection— " The subject of this Memoir has not through life confined his talent in a napkin; and should any in dividual be inclined to criticise with a jaundiced eye, it will only be necessary to say as a reproof —" 00 AND DO THOU LIKEWISE." The above Memoir is published at Earle's Li. brary, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall ; and sold by Asperne, Cymbal ; Muggerialge, Borough; I larvey, Blackfriars-road ; Watson, Wapping; and by all respectable Buoksellers.—Price 2s. A few evenings back George's Isleworth short coach was overturned at Hammersmith, in conse• (pence of one of the wheels coining off, owing it is supposed, to the linch-pin having been taken out. Mrs. Turner, of Isleworth, one of the passengers, was unhappily killed on the spot; her husband had his collar bone dislocated; two other passengers were severely wounded, -and the coachman had his jaw beaten in, and was otherwise much hurt.) t 1014 4 * '
