This charge of Gifford's, and the Ation of the thing that it coataised, was coe din a very manner by Canning. Ellis, and all those who bad been the patrons of I. And, indeed, a fouler act has seldom been teed. As the ground of this very charge, Rif noted The Old times newspaper.

Bat what at prevent qught every one with indignation is, that this print, has uniformly been abusing the Reformers fur it thirty years, endeavouring to produce the pro wl, the conviction, and to basica the sentence of isne that wrote in the causoonteform ; that this now that it sees the tide beginning to turn, have the baseness and the impudence to say, to landlords deserve no pity; to taunt them and at they have been in court before, a thing that to nobody but pickpockets and other felonious irs; that it shoeW do this, because, as it al •• they bare been supporting Corrupt Perlis t after Corrupt Parliament up to the present"— peat that soy man, who, with these facts before an lead his aid to the support of a publication moos, is unworthy of the friendship or society man of honourable sentiments. is papers to the Bth inst., which hays come to had been anxiously expected, from a belief that rould contain some official intelligence of the went of the affairs of the East.

All. how that these papers bring is a repetition of the r &temente of the rapid evaceatioa of Walla iop oldavis by the Turks. The matters that t ceupy these papers are the proceedings of the bar of Deputies on Thursday last.

(FIRM TIM DIODLIN EVENING PORT, JUNE 6.) A meeting of peat respectability, convened by the Chamber of Commerce, took place at the Commercial Randier,. at two o'clock on Taesday,—Leland Croy thwaite. rot,. in the eltair. Several Mercantile gentlemen having formed them- selves into a Committee, to consider of the probable consequences (to Ireland) of the new plan of the Chancellor of the Chan. of Ex. for equalizing the du ties on Salt, their Report was read to the Chairman by Robert Roe, Raq. It folly explained the dreadful evils that would follow the equalization of the Tax—the total rain to the fisheries, provision, better, and salt works of Ireland, if carried into a law. Mr. of the county Clare. objected to the first resolution, and recommended some modification of it. He did not know what Government meant to do with the population of Ireland. In this country four millions were partially employed ; three millions rose from their beds in the morning destitute altoge ther of employment. He dwelt upon the injury which the plass of the Exchequer would heap on Ireland— ', oil the Fisheries, especially. The Fisheries of the Isle of Man support 51.000; the Fisheries support 500,000 of the people of Holland, dm, and employ -*est might be found for th aaaaa ds is Ireland by means ether Fisheries. While Lord Liverpool and Mr. Vanisittart are both wondering at the unhappiness of the bilk they are about passing an Act which will binder the people of Ireland from being industri ous ; the fish on the coast of lislway had been so so perabandant lately, that the fishermen had been (for the want of salt) obliged to throw them ■gain iato the sea. He hoped that the Chamber, the City, and the Landed Interest of Ireland, would not slumber on this subject. Mr. IiZNIII Cht•TT 4N urged similar arguments with great earner nrss, and recommended a cutumnoication on this *object to a Committee now sitting on the affairs of Ireland, at the Thatched House Tavern, in amea's street, London. Ile reminded the Chamber that the Dutch were now endeavouring to undersell the Irish Bdtte► Traders, and observed, that from In% in proportion as the importation of Salt into Ireland had increased. so lu the same ratio did the Prevision and other Trades increase, and vice versa.— He was an advocate for the protection of the trade of both England and Irelind, but ha would lament to see Ireland sacrificed. The report of the Committee was then put from the Chair. and unanimously received. A desultory con versation then took place, bit it was finally determined that the Chairman and Committee should wait on his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, and submit tbe Re port to his Excellency's consideration, for his judg ment and interference. A deputation to wait on the Chancellor of the Ex chequer was also determined on, of which his Excel lency was to be prised. It was also rewired that the Committee should have the power of priparing and forwarding a petition to Patliament on, the subject. Mr. 111 , KamNs said, that ha had spoken with Lord Oriel on this subject who had given him a strong let kevto Mr. Vansittart, and be was determined, in con q, to proem! to London on Shi• they. the Chamber are to commtnicate on Me subject with the very active Chambers of Commerce in Lime. rick, Cork, aad Waterford, with a view of calling the attention of the whole kingdom to a subject of cacti deep and anxious interest to the people of Ireland, and her trade, commerce, and manufactures. BUTTER TiAne.—The trade is on the brink of 'lda. In the course of one year it has declined one milloo.— Something we apprehend will be done, or attempted, to afford the Batter dealers relief or protection, during the present session. THeATRICAL Fitacas,—On Monday last the Liver pool Theatre was opened fur the season, with the play of Coriolaatis, in which Mr. Vandenboff made his first appearance on his re-engagement in the theatrical cora -1 palsy. A number of persons in the House, among whom were several individuals from Man cheater, were very vociferous in behalf of Mr. Sal ter, who Lad been displaced to make room for Mr. Vandenhoff, who the managers were of opinion, was preferred by the Liverpool public. On Mr. Vanden hoff making his appearance, the expressions of ap plause and disapprobation were such as to astound the senses and defy all deseription, nor did any very great abatement of the noise occur during the whole evening. In a short time Mr. Salter entered the upper side-boxes, and was received amidst a tu multuous discordance of friendship and opposition. —This heightened the feelings of the parties, and was considered a very injudicious s t e p ; hut, Mr. SALTER has, in a letter in a Liverpool paper, stated that after the Play bad commenced some time, a gen tleman sought him out, and assured him, be was de sired by I other Oentlemen in the Boxes to en treat him to show himself in the House (the Manager being expected to come forward) in order that he might be present to answer any questions pat to him, and defend his character trout asper tient which might possibly be advanced. The up roar continued long after the curtain bad fallen for the night, some instances of violence occurred, and at last five forms were torn up in the gallery, and thrown into the pit. Fortunately, the first of them did no personal damage, but it had the instant effect of clearing the pit, and then the Police Officers „ showed the door" to those in the boxes and uallny. —On Tuesday sight, the disturbance was *tin more violent, although in a thinner house. The active partisans of the two performers seemed to have possession of the field, and, as on the pi4ceding evening, nothing of the pl.ty or farce con'd be beard, except one song front Miss Ilaturnersley, which, for a moment, lulled the storm. On Wedneeday, John Charles Smith. (of Stanches ter) John Tarbnck, ft,r rioting, and Itiehard Thom!) son, for blowing an instrument in the Theatre, on Tuesday evening, were ordered hi the sitting magi , trate, Thos.

The vacancy Ira at length b►en filled, by the appointment of Roe, r.sq. Barrister at Law, of Lin- coln's Inn ; and tomorrow the newly appointed Males trate is to commence his public dteies at the above office. Our readers may recollect that some months ago we detailed a law care, in whiehdie. Pearson, on the part of two women, Anne Carey and Mary Anne Evans, moved the Court of King's Bench against two Staffordshire gentlemen, one of them a magistrate, for cruelty and oppression. The case involved an is• stance of seduction tinder very aggravated circum• stances—such as the seducer following the young wo man to America, bringing her back to London, es tablishing her in a handsome house, and finally send ing her a hundred pounds, and leaving her to beg gary. On her way to Ireland. she fell ill in the neighbourhood of her seducer's seat, who, on her per. sonally begging his assistance, procured her and her companion's commitment to Stafford Gaol, as common vagrants. The case excited the attention of several persons in the county. and ultimately Mr. Pearson brought it before the Court of King's Bench. The. Court granted a rule against the parties, and the re suit has been a reference to arbitration, which has as signed 1,;.;50/. as damages and costs to the plaintiffs. (Livrrpoa Advertirer.)
