CORN BILL. was so far from supposing this exception could be , : rde, that they expressly enjoined, that no troops ,tiouLo conic within two miles of the place of elec tion in a day after. Will a case of necessity dispense Kith that Act ? The Act says, ' they SHALL NOT wile within two miles of the town, 'till four-and -I::enty hours alter the election.'" I'!it. Electors of Southwark ask, the people of the United Kingdom should ask, What security have t hey, that under the cloak of casualty their dearest r ights will not be sported with, and the Act of the Legislature becomes dead letter ? Where is the dif fereoce in effect between those who send fur and t h o se who wink at the presence of the military on ra.h occasions ? This is indeed a phenomenon of t he present ars, and that a heavy responsibility at itches somewhere, is the firs conviction of Southwark, Feb. 18. A BORONIAN. DE4TII OF THE DUKE OF DORSET. The following are the faithful particulars of this melancholy event.—The Duke of Dorset was on a vi•it to Lord Powerscourt, and joined a huutir•g vuty in the vicinity of KilHoley. His Grace was an aistuturous horseman, and entered warmly into the spir., of the chase towards i's close ; and when his torte was a good deal fatigued by the ardour with which he had been urged forward, his Grace leaped a small stone wall, .at-the opposite side of which loose stones had been collected. The horse effected t h e l e ap, but fell among the stones, and his rider was eol vequently thrown off. ;:it Grace came to the ground on his breast, with so great a shock, its proved fatal in a short period attor. Ile was unconscious of having been materially ijured, for in •a .reply to a question from Lord p..wei.court, •who was near at the time of the ac cident, " If he was much hurt?" ills Grace said, t• he believed not." lie was immediately taken to the house of Mc, Oxley, from which a messenger was instantly .dispatehed to town for Surgeons Crampton and Meeltlin. Il?fore their Arlin'. how ever, though they travelled with every possible eve ilition, his Grace had expired. Ile lived little better than an hour after the fatal event took place. The Ilan. Mr. Wingfeld, Lord Powerscourt's brother, and Mr. Oxley, were wita him Cleft he died. The sad catastrophe was net accompanied with any ap parent symptoms of acute sulfuring ; the vessels near the heart had been ruptured by the fall, and he died by internal bleeding. Just before his death he raised himself up by assistancq, as a last effort of life, anti said, almost inarticulately, 44 I am off," and [FROM, CORBETT'S POLITICAL REGISTER.] This measure has been mentioned in the Mouse of Lords, upon the presenting, by Lord Hardnicke, of a Petition from the County of Cambridge, in which the Petitioners state, that they are wholly unable to contend with the growers of corn, in countries where the farmers pay no tythes, no poor•rates, and com paratively very little in taxes of any sort.— Well said, Cambridgeshire! So, then, here are " the loyal;" the old, loyal " Umandry Garaldry;" the gallant men, whose swords glittered like lightuing, a few years ago, against the poor Jacobins, who were safe eaough under the warrants of the Ss!cretary of State ; here are these "the loyal"par excellence, i crying out, by a side wind, against tythes, poor-rates, and taxes of all sorts ; that is to say, against the Established Church, and against the very existence of that want -of sway, to uphold which they often pledged themselves to spend their " last shilling, and the last drop of their blood." IVltat, then, would these men insinuate, that the French people are better off than we are; that they have gained by that revo lution which has been so much abused; that, in get ting rid• of tythes and taxes, they have really been, upon the whole, beneficed ! Do they confess, that we are come out of the contest worsted? How does this agree with all the bonfires, and bell-ring ing, and ox-roasting, and Serpentine River, and ' Green- l'ltrk rejoicings !—Wbat do they confess, after ill, that we hive lost by the 22 years struggle? But tythes; why do they name tythes, unless to ask for their abolition ?—Nay, unless to ask for the sending of the Bishops and Parsons to grass ?-If, now, any one were to write against religion, and to soy, that it was useless, how these persons would • grind their teeth at him, and grin with delight at seeing him sent to starve and rot in a jail. How they would bellow forth Atheist, Blasphemer, and; all sorts of vile appellations. If any one were to ridicule the rites and ceremonies of marriage, bap tism, churching of women, confirmation, visitatioa of the sick, the Lord's Supper, absolution, consecra tion of church-yards, burial of the dead, how they would stare at him; how they would rejAce to see him ruined, and killed by inches. And yet, they aim a much more direct blow at all these things by insinuating, that they cannot sell bread so cheap as they would be able to fell it, if the tythes, whielt support the Church, did not exist.—We are upon the eve, I imagine, of some great change in public matters. The war has left all its heavy load behind it, and has lost all its profits. To raise the means of sup _ _ 1 i... • porting that load, the Government must adopt some . .
