With this sort of opposition we feel so fel torship but, on the contrary, we suspect we might be &r eed to give our approbation to the measure in the tell points for which it is condemned. The great aim of t he bill has ear heartiest concurrence. To secure to 4 , s hwa the attainment of useful knowledge for their aibirea, aid to rescue those of tile middle and the higher classes from the contagia of untutored poverty to places where ignorance, idleness, and vire have been secastomed to prevail. are objects whiCh every en hotened man cannot fail to have at heart. There are, Weed, still some who would pretend that the tranquil- lily of society is best maintained by the ignorance of the ale. There are still some who for the sake of the y e w, would consign the many to barbarism and mental 'gloom. There are still some, who, to Ratter the rank an d repose of affiance, would sacrifice to its gross and selfish conceit, the int ellectual cultivation of their fellow- creatures. Happily, however, we know that these are few, and that the history of all ages is a re futation of the errors they indulge. It net the dif. fusion of knowledge, it is its rarity, from which most of the mischiefs that disturb and disgrace society ... , s'!•s'!`~siK~r panes of glass, but no great . dinnage, we understand, was done. The mob afterwards ions-eyed it down to Gaylield §quare, with the avowed intention cf return ing it to its proper situation ; but some of its is heels i breaking down and retarding its pregress, a light was procured from a lamp, and it was ultimately destroyed] by fire. We regret to have to record the following melan choly accidents which occurred during the day. In Potter-row, a boy had loaded a small cannon, which was accidentally discharged at a time when Thomas Buckliatu, a child only six years of age, h:.l placed himself immediately opposite its muzzle, and received the contents in his groin. The cannon was at first said to have beer only charged with powder, but se veral small pebbles were extracted in the course of the evening, and he expired last ni;lit after enduring great misery. Another boy was seriously injured in High-street, by the bursting of a small cannon, or pistol, which , had been heavily charged with pebbles. Several un- ' pleasant accidents occurred from the discharge of ' gunpowder and fire-works, but the above is 'Cie only fatal one that has yet come to oar knowledge. The precautionary measures adopted by the Ilatistraey prevented the apprehension of any extensive mischief, and perhaps induced a more early dispersion of the crowds which thronged the streets and the bridge, than could otherwise have been expected.

Tea CATHOLIC BILL.—Oar columns, says the Waterford Mirror, spew that, last Tuesday, at the re sumed debate in the House of Lords, the mo tion of Lord Donoughmore for an immediate second reading, teas obliged to give way to Lord Mansfield's amendment of a delay of six months. The Question is, of course, lost for this Session. We are far from being without hope of a speedy and a peril resurrection. As matters were going on, we are sot sorry to have dune with it for the present. lie Freeman's Journal, in its comments on the same 'object, after noticing the advantages taken uf the differences among tbe Catholics themselves on the pleasure, observes— " If, then, this most important measure is again to be 'imagist before Parliament, we can see no better chance of its 'lacers's, unless the Catholic nobility and gentry of Ireland shall resume the management of it, and unless they shall take such steps, in unison with the hierarchy, as sill render it impossible to misrepresent their senti ments or views. By domestic nomination, the Vetoists sad anti-Vetoists would be equally silenced s and this indent mode of episcopal appoiatment, our readers will recollect, has been happily revived amongst us within a tow days, by the electron of Dr. Laffan to fill the see of Cashe l .. •We trust, if any part of the Bill is found so ohiectionable as not to be susceptible of modification, other provisions may be substituted equally satisfactory to the legislature." It is confidently stated that, in the event of his Ain esty's visiting Ireland, there will be an installation of 'en new Knights of St. Patrick; the Lord Lieutenant t., be created an English marquess; Lord Manners to he created an earl ; the Marquesses of Thomond and Coin s ~glare to grt English baronies; Visconut Mount-Earl to be an earl; Viscount llort to be Reel Colooney ; and Thomas Ryder Pepper, Esq.. of braghton, county Tip peia y (brother-in-law of Sir Benjamin Bloomfield) to be e.evated to a baronetage. The King will remain a short time in Dublin, and in his tour through the coun try will spend a day with Mr. Pepper, anti will visit Hal county Clare, the mansion of Dr. Parker, in whose demesne stands the site of Brian Borholme's pa lace.—(//therniots Joeraol.)

Enipraunow, Aral sterday appointed to be observed as the auni being l of g the d his ay Majesty's nativity, it was ushered in he re by the ing of cannon, and the usual signs of *rejoicing. which continued throughout the day, giving to oar Monday more than is ordinary holiday appearance. The Royal standard was hoisted at the Castle, on Nelson's Monument, and at the Admiral's Office; the Admiral's flag-ship, and his Majesty's other vessels in Leith Roads, were decorated with colours, and at one o'clock fired the Royal salute. The other shipping is the Roads and Harbour also displayed their several Bars. At 12 o'clock the mail coaches paraded the bridges and principal streets, and then proceeded to Leith. The guards and coachmen being dressed in new uni forms, and the harness, &c. entirely new, gave the procession a very fine effect. The principal mode of celebrating the occasion, however, was by a grand military field day. Between the hours of 11 and 12 individuals of all cutsses were seen moving in crowds towards Prince's-street, the Mound, the Calton-bill, and those situations from which the martial spectacle could be the most con veniently witnessed; and the assembling of such a' ' promiscuous mass of persons afforded of itself an abundant excitement of merriment and sport. Such as attended who possessed carriage', or could procure them fur the occasion, gladly availed themselves et their protection from the pressure of the crowd, but were not altogether secure from the varifurnt dangers by which all who went abroad were encompassed one carriage broke down in George-street, and the coach man was slightly injured, and several similar acci dents attended the vehicular spectators; though none of a very serious nature that we base vet heard of. Among the pulite and fashionable part of the com pany who arrived in carriages was a select set-out of jolly tars, who drove through the cheering multitude, and . took up a favourable position in Prince's-street, where throughout the morning they " ever and anon" poured out their loyalty and respect for King George the Fourth in the " vasty" and appropriate libation. Some parties arrived in carts ; and other carts which happened to be passing were speedily taken possession of by some of the crowd. About It o'clock the whole of his Majesty's regular forces in garrison here took up their ground on the Castle-hill and on the Mound, and were soon joined by the regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volur.teers and the Edinburgh and Leith Rifle Corps, who about this time arrived on the ground from their parade its tieorge street. The following was the disposition of the forces assembled : The 7th Royal Fialleers, commanded by Colonel Sir Edward Blackettey, within the garrison ; the Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, under Lieut.-Colonel James Hope, on the parade ground ; the Edinburgh and Leith Rifle Corps, under command of Captain L'Amy, stationed in front of II amsay gardens ; and the 4th Regiment of 'Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, under the command of Colonel Francis Sherlock, ex tending from Ramsay gardens across the Mound, to Prince's-street. The royal salute having been fired by the Castle guns, a ji•tr-de-juir . was then commenced by the right wing, situated in Prince's-street, and was communi cated by a spirited running fire to that wing of the line which terminated at the Castle. The military cheer followed. A disaster of a most ludicrous nature occurred in the course of the morn ing in Prince's-street. A mason's shed, •.ihich had tempted as niany to mount it as could find room upon the surface of its roof, deceitfully gave way b e neath the weight of its burden , which it thus su ddenly re duced to the common level of spectators of the same class. The horror momentarily felt at this alarming accident was succeeded by a loud and general burst of laughter, on the entire discomfited party coming out of the rains unhurt, and appearing to he mightily amused at this caprice of fortune.—The troops afterwards marched to their several private para•lrs, to be dismiss ed ; and the Royal Edinburgh Volunteers proceeded don n the Iligh-street, and along the North-bridge to the Lord Provost's house in Abercromby-place, and there deposited their colours, and were afterwards dismissed. We regret to add that on their way to Prince's-street , the tine martial appesrance uf the vo lunteer corps dial not rescue it from the tlerision of the mob, which consisted principally of idle boys, who pelted them with dirt. A porter's basket, cutnnionly called a creel, was frequently Hung into the midst of the band, whose tune was obstructed by it several times. Asa party of the volunteers who belong to Leith were returning to their bottles in compOlv with the Leith Rilietuen, after being disbanded, thee were again ontrageously assailed, when a regular encounter took place, and several of the mob were seised. On the way to the Cieerge-street Police-office, to deposit their prisoners, the soldiers were pursued and pelted, which exasperated them to such a deFree that a file of the military faced about and ch and in arged upon the populace, who stood their ground, corning in con'act with them, the Volunteers nnfised bayonets and cudgelled them with the butt-ends of their muskets. Many were much hurt in the scuffle ; several of the Volunteers were lacerated On the face and band' by blows from stones and staves, and a rifie man in particular was exceedingly bruised and dis figured. Only about 20 of the military maintained the conflict to the last; and these, on baring succeeded in cosducting their prisoners within the gates of the Police office, proclaimed their victory in several chees of defiance. In the whole, Bor9 of the mob w ho made this attack are now in custody at the Police-office. About four the shops and warehouses were in general shut ; the great balls in the several churches were rung, and the evening was spent in relaxation from business. The streets were filled by youths and idlers who emitted themselves till a late hour in discharging pistols and fireworks, to the imminent hazard of tbe Pm and the shop-windows of those who did not secure them in time. In the coarse of the evening a number of sailors carried away one of the land-waiter's boxes from Leith shore, and drew it up to Edinburgh. After pro ceeding through several of the streets, with as im e - mense concour se of people su rroundin g it, they mad stani near Abercroniby Place, and broke some An Account of the declared "Value of Briti.h ware, and Cutlery, exported from Great Witain. iu the Years 1'•19 and IS2O, distinetti.dring each Year, and the Countries to whidt the sane were exports& Countries to which ISI9. exported. s. 11.
