AVM- :idbroolc. April 11. " 9tal ha/c to desire you will acquaint the House that it is with the greatest coneem I fed myself unable to attend in their serviee to-morrow. It is with the deepest regret that I am obliged to postpone my Attendance, and delay public business; bat althmigh it would be hazardous for me to return immediately to my public ditties, I have every reason to expect my health will be so far re-esta. blishod by the end of the week, that I shall be able to attend the merit* of the House. I hare to request you will submit this letter with my dutiful respects to the House, for its consideration. I arta, Sire " CHAILES AU OTT." Mr. Dyson having finished reading. Mr. VAiSITTART observed, he had now to offer himself to the House on an occasion the most painful to him, namely, to call the attention of Gentlemen to the indisposition of their Right Hon. and highly respected Speaker. Ile felt con vinced, however, that the unanimous vote of the Howe to day would prove the high estimation in which that excellent ' individual was held by then, and the public. The indisposi tiou, in consequence of which Mr. Speaker now requested the indulgeucc of the House, war brought on by his close application to the discharge of his duties. —(llese I heart) —lie felt it fur some days previous to the adjournment, vet, notwithstanding that indisposition, he had continued to labour for the convenience and advantage of the House, as was proved by his communication of an arrangement respecting! the printing and distribution of the Votes, immediately pre vious to the recess.--( Ilear heal /earl ) — lndisposition had never been allowed by him to interfere with his public dit• ties, fund he was actually overpowered by it. The Right Hon. Gentleman now in his letter expressed a persuasion that he should be able to resume his situation in that House the latter end of the week. He (Mr. V.) was fearful the Right Hon. Gentleman's anxiety to return to business might bave caused him to over-rate his own powers, and that by putting himself too forward, he might risk a relapse. lie was of opinion, and he trusted the House would agree with km, that it would be wiser to extend the indulgence some few days beyond the time mentioned by the Right lion. Gen tleman, than by calling on him to enter on the fatigues of public business too soon, cause a relapse, and further delay of the important public discussions, during which his pre sence was so essentially necessary. He should have been inclined to propwe au adjournment to the 21st instant, but when be oecoilected an important Court occasion would call for an adjotorninent en Wedoesday week, he submitted whe ther it would not be preferable now to adjourn over that day. Being himself persuaded that would be the best course to be adopted, be should now propose that the House do farther adjosiris to Thursday sennigiat.—(lfeer hair!) Mr. Paramour, out of respect to the Right Hon. Gentles limn, whose regretted indisposition gave rise to this proceed ing, would most cheerfully consent to the motion. He could not, however, avoid expressing his regret, that the Speaker should have been most unnecessarily kept on one occasion several hours in the chair, the fatigue attending which had En far increased his illness as to render it of a dangerous na tore; he had himself more than once urged the Right Hon. Gentleman on that occasion to quit the Chair, but he deter mined to resist pain and fatigue in the discharge of his pub lie duty, and continued in his place ; and the House now felt the inconvenience of having imposed on the Right Hon. Gentleman too severe a task. With respect to the important Court occasion alluded to by the Chancellor of the Exche quer, be (Mr. P.l could not say whether he should have con sidered it as a sufficient excuse for delaying public business; he wished it now to be understood, however, that it was res pect for the Speaker, and a desire to afford full time for the re-establishateut of that Right lion. Gentleman's health, which induced him to agree to the motion for so long an ad journment at this important period of the Sessiou. THE ROMAN CATHOLICS. Mr. ('RATTAN wished to take this opportunity of stating to the House shat he should, on the 6th of Mac, bring forward a motion relative to the Catholic Petitions. The Right Hon. Gentleman afterwards mentioned the 3d of May, but did at t positively fie either day. Mr. BMA GUAM, in the absence of an Hon. Friend of his (Sir H. Parnell) was desired to state, that previous to the Right lion. Gentleman's bringing forward his motion, his Hon. Friend world submit a motion to the House on the subject of the Laws respecting his Majesty's Roman Catholic jebjocts generally. . the House then adjourned till Thursday se'nnight. DINNER TO MR. IVAITHMAN. On Tuesday, at the New London Tavern, a dinner was given to Mr. Waithrnan by the subscribers to a handsome service of plate presented to that gentleman. After the cloth was removed, the usual toasts were given s and among them, "The Health of the Prince Revmt, and may he recollect the principles whirls seated his Family on the Throne," drank with three times three. Mr. Favell then rose, and after hating bestowed a suitable enloginm oo the character of Mr. Waithman, particularly alluding to the firmness and consistency with which he had conducted Itinew If in the cause of liberty for the last five and-twenty years, in the name of the meeting presented the service of plate, (which was laid on a table before the Chair mat), consisting of ten pieces most elegantly w rought. On the waiter there was an inscription testifying the admiration and gratitude of the fellow citizens of Mr. Waithitiatt, " for his manly zeal and inflexible patriotism in the cause of liberty." A toast having been proposed to Mr. Waithuian by the thNiflll3ll, and drank accordingly, Mr. Waithinan, after acknowledging his gratitude to lik fellow-citizens for the undeserved honour they 11.11 le•stowed upon hint, emceed into a minute detail of his cowinci for the last five-and•twenty prat s, during whicit period he had gained, he believed, the coulitit•ttee and at .ach uncut of Isis fitenw-eitizetts.

Two persons belonging to Manchester were on Thursday taken into custody at Dover, on suspicion of being cone:Tiled in treasonable practices. They were endeavouring to pro cure a passage to the opposite. coast., Tuesday inor ii ee g two of 11w Manchester police officers ar rived at the Public Office, Bow street, by the Manchester coach, will, R. Fliteroft in their custody, charged with being one of the principals in she tote politico' proceedings at that place. He resided about three miles out 01 Mattritc 3 ters where lie was apprehended. He was conveyed from How• street Office, about two o'clock to the Secretary of State's Office for the Hume Department, to undergo an examination. At the same time Mr. Adkins, the Obvernor of the House of Correction, and assistants, conveye4 from that prison to the Secretary of State's Office, S. Mulford, the celebrated Lan cashire port ; I:. Connor, wilt) kept the 811111111 • where the I meetings used to be held ; J. Lancashire and K. Kydings, four of the men who were brought from Manchester on the 31st of March by Mr. Williams MI Mr. Dykes, the King's Messengers; also J. Leach, W. Kent ; and J. Plant, who were brought from Manchester on the mth ins. They underwent examinations b .fore Lord Viscount Sidmontlt, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Under Secretary of State, the Law Officers, Sir N. Conant, Ike. he investigations continued till near half past four o'clock, %ben R. Fliteroft and the others were conveyed to the !loose of Correction. Wednesday morning, two of the Nranehester police offieers art iced in London by the mail, with a man of name of Brad burl' in tbeir custody, whose icsidemee is in a place called Oxtord Road, in Manchester, where lie was apprehended. He is charged with political offences. On their arrival in London, they went to the Public Office, Bow-street, where Bradbury, the prisoner, was confined till near two o'clock ; after which lie was conveyed to the office of the Home Secre tary, where he underwent an examination before tne Secre tary of State, Sir Nathaniel Conant, Me. which continued till about five o'clock. Ile WAS ordered to be detained in cus tody. At the close of the .examination on Tuesday, Lord Sidtuouth, and the other official gentlemen assembled.on the occasion, determined to discharge R. Kyding and E. Connor, the landlord of a small inn where the political meetings used to be held : there was, it seems, no proof of these prisoners being leaders, or having taken a principal part in any of the political transactions. They remained in the House of Cor. rection on Tuesday nieht merely as a matter of accommoda tion. E. Connor is afflicted with the gout; but his confine ment, according to our Reporter, has done him good. They were removed ms Wednesday front the' House of Correstion to proceed on their return to Manchester, at the expense of Government. Some of the others are to be removed to coun try prisons, and are to be kept separate, as they have been since their first apprehension. A letter from Manchester, dated April 12, says- 0 The Magistrates have ordered the several Acts, enforcing the du ties of the watch and ward, to be carried into execution, in the respective parishes of Manchester, Prestwich-cum-Old ham, Ashton-under-Line, Eccles, Flitton, Rochdale, Bolton, Dean, Bury, Radcliffe, and Middleton. We can state from the best authority, that bodies of ;nen, hi four divisions of about I,G each, were observed entering this town over the they-bridge, between one and two o'clock on the morning of Monday last. They proceeded two byswo in the most regular order, and preserved step as they marched forward with military exactness. A person belonging to Nottingham, of the name of Henson, was apprehended on Friday last, in London, under a warrant from the Secretary of State, and, after an examination at the Home Office, committed to Coidbath•iidds prisow, upon sus picion of treasonable pi setices. This man has long been an object of dread to the well disposed inhabitants of Notting ham and its neighbourhood, both on account of the leading influence he was thought to have with the Luddites, and his supposed political principles. SHACKING EVENT. EVENT. O■ Sunday last the following dreedfal occurrence took place at Fivebesti, near the house appointed for the reception of insane persons. Capt. Fleming, whose derangement had rendered his confinement in the house iseeessary for several )ears past, after dining with a friend of his (Ca?t. Miller, late Paymaster and Agent to the Stafford Militia), who had come from London to see him, contrived to gain admission into the room of Mr. Gillett, tl►e keeper, where he seized a brace of plt.tols, with which he proceeded to the apartment where his Head, Capt. Miller, was writing, and instantly dis charged one of the pistols at him, which unfortunately took effect, a►►d he fell deal. He immediately retired to his own room, where he shot himself with the other pistol, and died in a few seconds. NATIONAL AP,GISTM MA Nell ESTEfi PLOT. 116;11 the LONDON GAZETTE, ANOTHER ACCOVNT.
