. IMPORTANT PUBLIC AIIIRTING AT WOLVERHAMPTON, TO PETITION AGAINST THE TAX ON INLAND COAle On t►e 19111 instant, a numerous and very re spectable Meeting was held at Wolverhampton, to petiole* against the proposed TAI en INLAND Corms. Sir J. WROTTISLEY, Bart. in the Chair. R. FATIO, Esq. reed the draft of a Petition, de. tailing the silent and importance of the osansfactores of the nation, which required a great consumption of inland Coal ; the depressed state of those ussnefac. tares from the tom preset, by which gre w.ry alone enabled to contend in foreign markets; and which prices already afforded to the poor mechanic so mi. ',rabies pittance, when in (all employmestos to re. Ore, in eases if large families, the aid of perish re. lief. After verities other details, the Petition cow elided with eipreesing the regret and astonishment of the Petitioners, that such a grievous and ittigoitoss iseastsre should be projected in a tiro• of profound pence, sad when his Majesty's Ministers were boast. log of tire prosperity oft be concur, and the rtnu num. VW STATE Of TEE This Petition was received with very great ap please. Sir J. Wornrsonss concurred warmly in the spi rit of the Petition, which was called for by the strongest necessity. He ob•erved, !hat out of the cases for the County of Stafford, raised with so much diflcelty, mod et the 'spots of such misery, there was the place of Receiver-Gem-rat of the County, worth from 10001. to 15001. per annum, which was a complete tinearre—being possessed by a person who resided out of the kingdom, and who had ageet ed or ender.let the office to another party who did not resi,le within the Ceeniy.—(Cries of shameful! and lord opplaose.)—A national saving of upwards of 50,0001. a year might be made in the reduction of places of this kind, which were witboet the shrdow or pretension of use, and which had not the plea of rewarding services rendered to the State. Ile con cluded by noticing former efforts to raise a Tao on Inland Coal ; and the ignorance of the completes of the country which such intentions indicated:_ Load applause followed upon the Worthy liereast's speech. Mr. Fatten observed, that Ministers might hold out the smallness of the tai as a delusion ; but the jealous spirit of commerce mast keep such an ism. iial article of common use, free from the touch of impost. Mr. W. WALKER begged leave, as an Overseer of the Poor, to observe to the Meeting, that if any one argument more than another would show the ion. policy of the projected tee. end bow ill the manufac tories of that town and neighbourhood mold beer any further border's, It was the circomstence of 80 or 90 pounds bring weekly 'speeded upon the poor of the perish, as owl-pay, exclusively of what went to mitosis t►e poor in the workhouse; a consider. able portion of which sum was paid to make up the wages of the workmen, many of whom were receiving but eight or else shillings per week for their labour ; and it must be evident, that those who had families most enders the greatest distress, but for the assist ance from t►e Nor's Rates. Mr. Ltwts said, that a Minister most be unaccount ably ignorant of the priecipal means or the com mercial greatness of this country, who did not see that oar mines of coal were the diamond of our com mercial wealth. To las arch an article, were to Lill the geese in order to get all the golden eggs top then Let them strike this fatal blow at the univere.el commerce of the State, and then as. where they will collect their fifty millions of tales from :—( Loud ap plause.) The Petition was unanimously agreed lc At this Myelin, a letter from E. J. Littleton, M.P.lor the county of Stafford, Wee reed, who, with a highly commendable attention to the interests . . . . of his Constituents, hod, with a dozen or more other eosotry ilembers, addressed a note to Lord Sid mootb, sigwed by their respective oases, calling for so Implicit answer on this subject of the apprehended tas on Inland coal—in order duly to apprise their respective Constituents of such a m being in contemplation. To this no answer was returned.— Tbe inlere■ce was but too °Delos'. TAX ON INLAID COALS.

The orchestra contained a few new singers, who were duly encouraged, bet BILLOCHT and Miss Strentscs enchanted the audience. The latter in The Soldier eseitod the greatest applause, and stirred up the reminiscence of a MARA and 111 BILLINOTON,— Tbe night being an unfavourable one mey acceent for the hoes* not being full : a little less of parsimony of the Proprietors in the instrumental part of the enter. tainment, we trust, will be amply repaid by the Public. Tuesday searright, Susan Hunt, dairy-maid to Mr. NAM, at Ilainford, Norfolk, was convicted on the oath of Mr. THOMAS Baru, for wilfolly neglect ing to milk the cows in a proper manner. After the rows were turned oat on Sooday morning it was discovered that they bad not been properly milked ; they were again liken op and milked, when six pints of milk were taken from one cow. For the above offence she was committed to the Hoes* of Correction for one moth. A dish of new potatoes was on the filth inst. served up at the tables of Bsillie Denson, Dr. Irving, Capt.

LORD BUTE'S UOOD FORTUNE. The late Mrs. iloscawan, widow of the Admiral of that name, so distinguished in our naval annals, whose connexions enabled her to collect many cu rious facts in the course of a long life, has often affirmed, that Lord BUTC's first personal introduc tion to the Print. of WALES erigiaated is a very singeler occident. That Nobleman,as Is well known, married the only daughter of the celebrated Lady WoRTLIT MONTAOUL, by whom be had a very numerous family. She brought him, eventually, likewise a large landed property ; bet as her father, IMr. WORTLEY, did not die till the year 1761, and as her brother, the eccentric EDWARD Woanar MONTAGUE. lived to a much later period, supposed down to 1777, Lord Buss, encumbered with a Bom ber of children, found his patrimonial fortune very unequal to maintain the figure befitting bit rank in life. After passing some years in profound retire ment, on his estate in the isle of Bute, he revisited and took a house on the bunks of the Themes. During his resideoce there, be ass in duced to visit Wiser [Laces, about the year 1747; but as he either did net at that time keep e carriage, or did not use it to convey him to Use race-ground, he condescended to accompany a medical acquaint- ISOM in other words, the spothecery who attended his Lerchhip's family, who carried Mee there in his Own chariot. F ICIE, Prince of WALIS, who thew resided at Cliefden, houciered the races on that cloy with his presence; where a lent was pitched for his accommo dation, and the ►eception of the Princess, his consort. The weather prosieg rainy, it was proposed, in order to amour his Royal Highness before his return home, to make a party at cards; bet a difficulty occurred about finding persons of sufficient rank to sit down at the same table with him. While they remained ender this embarrassment, somebody observed that Lord had been seen on tie rsce•gronnd ; who, as being an Earl, woold be p►culiarly prope► to make one of the Prince's party. lie was soon fiend, informed of the occasion which demanded his sites& 9111CP, brought to the tent, and presented to Faint arca. When the company brbke up, Lord BUTZ thought of returning back to his own hoese: hut his friend, the apothecary, bed disappeared ; and with hie had disappeared the chariot, in which his Lord ship had been brought to the races. The Privies was so sooner made acquainted with the circumstanc►, than he insisted on Lord Butt's accompanying him to Cliefden, and there pasting the night. Ile com plied, rendered himself eatremely acceptable to their Royal Ilighneeses, and thus laid the foendation, en der a succeeding reign, of his political elevation, which glowed originally, in some measure, from this strange contingency.

With respect to the deci sion of Wednesday nigbt, whilst he wished to speak of the House with respect, be could not refrain from saying, that be eonsidertd the Hffll4P bed acted lir error. With respect to the question, as winds,' the Honourable Member tor Limerick, how reg ards,' lb stand ? Why, a charge had been preferred against the Honourable Member of e most serious nature.— The Honourable Member made a mast eloquent de. fence; but still the Howse had derided to heir ail deem at the bar on Monday sennight ; yet Mt. Grady bad been committed as a con-pirator Wiest the Honourable Member, and as having been guilty of a breath of privilege, in writing • letter, which letter was proved only by the evidence of Mr. Quin, which evidence be contended ought not to have been received, as Mr. Quin wet a party hummed. Much had been said on the subject of Mr. Grady not being able to read the letter when it was hailed to him at the bar; bet be would prove, by the most respect able evidence, that Mr. Grady had not been able to reed a letter by candle-light for years; and was evert so near-righted, that by day, without spectacles, be could not see • carriage in the street. Another cir cumstance in leaner of Mr. Grady wit, that he was in hearing during the discession in the House, and beard the letter decided to be a Breech of the Privi leges of the House, and might have withdrawn him self, yet he did not; bat continued, and ultimately appeared at the bar, and was in consequence arrest ed. With respect to the letter, he now held It in his hand, and would Toad it, end insist it was no breach of the privileges of 'hulloes*. Mr. W. WY NN fate le drier. It was tathes tee mach, after the House bad come to • resoletlen, that the letter was a high breach of privilege, for the Ilonerrable Member to come (ken and contend it was not.—Uhee, hear, hear!] Mr. HUTCHINSON would be sorry to injure the seen whose cease he was advocating, by any im proper pertinacity of his, but he submitted he had • right to reed the letter. Mr. W. WYNN rild net abject to the Hnnnerahlre Membet's reading the letter, and offering all be could in palliation what he ni t iectod to was, the y ea . Gerstliteran, In opposition to • decision of the House, contehding that the le:ter was nut a breech of ;nisi. 'llllr. ntrrouNsom resumed; end read the let let ; and, baying d0n...., declared if this letter wee • breech of privilege, he was at a loss to know how far the House wawill attempt to •ttenil it, pi ivilrites. This was a letter written, in a tiwiient of irritation, by a (other who conaidered his in , . had been portly removerl by the Honourable Member from his sitentiou. and that he might by rest .red to it. If the Mose ahneld agree with him in this el& m en , h e was p ersuaded they would think this en fortunate man had suffered enough, and would order him to be dist-hefted. When at the bar, on a for• met night, Mr. Grady declared he bad tin intentiew to offend the Ilona', and in hit Petition of last night be repotted shit declaration. Ile concluded by Meta ing that Mr. T. Grady should be discharged. Sir ROBERT Wit iON in rising to second the motion of his Hon. Friend, wished to say • few words en the subject of it. He was instructed to plate on the pan of she Petitioster, that his libel,- don wee absnlelejy necessary to superintend the pro ceedings which were otdeted by the House, mail which were now fising the attention of the whole kingdom. Ile did belie**, on his honour, after the statement which had been made to him, that tha liberation of Mr. Grady was necessary for the con• ducting of the proceedings. The House would be the mote disposed to gise credit to this, mhos they reflected that his son was only twenty•three years of age, and that be was eery inexperienced In bestow. Ile was sure that the Hesse would never subject it. self to the suspicion of having Impeded the nese et the Petitioner. A suspicion like this would neither redound to the honour of the House, nor to the honour of the Honourable Member (Mr. Wynd. ham Quin), whose speech on a former night was se much in unison with his duty. All parties in the Hoare were relied on to act as judges here.—Let it be recollected that the parties in this particular case. were respectable—that their honour, character, their ; ell depended on the issue of this investigation. Let it not then he said, that if they foiled to substantial* their cause, they were prevented by the measures of that House. Let it not be said, that they were de tarred by this first exercise of power in the person of the individual who was necessary to afford them es. sistance. If the parties fail, , lot ti am fail tram their inability to substantiate their cause, sod then the punishment which the atom might inflict would appear just. It had been stated by the Member for Dover (Mr. Wilbraham), that the Petition of the prisoner was werded in a way which wounded the dignity of the House. He Was sure it was not his intention to offend the Rollie. Ile threw himself entirely on she clemency of the noose. Since Ite had come Into the House he had reason to know that Mr. Grady had written • moat sahmissite letter, with the view of softening the indignation of the (loose, bet he bad sent it by the only channel through which it could not be presented. It was unfortunate that the forms of tie House prevented that individual from taking thew measures which would have been its ealinn with his private feelings. The motion waa then pot, that Mr. T. Grady he brought to the bar of the House forthwith and di,. charged. Mr. COURTENAT, if he could see any reason to think the former decision, which the Hoes* had come to, at an erroneous one, would with pleasure acknowledge his error, and vote for Mr. Grady's discharge; but as present, he could not see any rock case made out. The Hon.
