Ehr ZritiZit aartoo. The 131ITISIE PRIM Commenced publi.huig yesterday amain at a quarter before seven o'clock. LONDON. SATURDAY, Arm 23, MS. Last night we received the Paris Morning Papers of Wedne3day. The proceedings in the Chatnber of Depu ties on the preceding day were without interest to the English reader. The Moaileur states, that on Monday evening M. Di ViLt,aLs gave an ,evening party, at which Prince METTERNICH was present. The Prince was to have left Paris on Tuesday, but his departure was post , poned fir Wednesday. The Echo dat Midi announces that the Prince DE liotteNt.ona will be raised to the dig nity of a Marshal of Prance, on the occasion of the Coronation. By the accounts from Zante, in the Constitutionnel, it appears that the disembarkation of Egyptian troops in the vicinity of Motion and Coron was the consequence of a storm, by which the fleet of lßs.tHzM Paco• was dispersed. A corps of Peloponnesians attacked the invo- It luntary invaders, and destroyed them. The Turkish gar. t ' risons refused to admit the fugitives into the fortresses, lest the addition of their numbers should compel them to sur render at an earlier period for want of food. The division of the Egyptian fleet from which there wretched men were landed, was blockaded by the Greeks in a bay between .Modon and Neocastron. The fall of Patras is hourly ex pected. _ _ Neither the Dull:, nor any other Evening Paper, was received by the express last night; nor the Course of Exchange. [From the Quotidiennt of WetlnesdaY•] 3liaae, :term. 7. Several persons belonging to the Legations at the Court of Vienna have already arrived here, having been sent by their respec tive Ambassadors to prepare lodgings for them, as they will soon arrive. Count Langrange, Secretary to the French Legation, arrived on the Ist, with some persons of the Ambassador's suite. The Ambassador is expected about the end of April from Paris, where he now is. Soon after him arrivtil a Russian Secretary of Legation, who expects his Ambassador, General Tatischeif, about the end of April. Preparations are also making for the reception of the Ambassadors of Prussia, Spam, and Denmark. Nothing certain is known respecting the arrival of the Brio. •h Ambassador, Sir H. Wellesley. It is said that his coming to Milan depends on the result of the negociations carrying on at London between Prince Estcrhasy and Mr. Canning. The preparations already made show that we shall soon sze several foreign Sovereigns in our Mills. We also expect at Milan an Extraordinary Ambassador from the King of Spain to the Em. peror of Austria. [From the Constittaionwel of Wednesciall ZAATE. MARCH 15. Ibrahim Pacha, who sailed at the end of February with his whole beet, for Candia, was overtaken by a tempest, which dispersed his vessels, so that only twenty reached Alexandria; tbe majority were driven on the coasts of Asia and Africa ; and thirty, carried by the winds tow ads the Illorea,landed 3,000 Egyptians on the coast of Modon and Coron ; but a corps of Peloponnesian •coops, chiefly Arcadians, attacked them before they had time to form. All perished in this action ; the Turkish garrisons of Coron and 3lodon refusing to admit the fugitives into the fortresses, for fear of adding to the distress which begins to be felt there for want of provisions. Oa the other hand, forty Greek vessels arrived in time to cut off the Egyptian division from the eel, and to block it up in a bay between Modon and Neoeastron. Conduriotti, the President, commands in person the troops besieging Patna ; they are estimated at 10,000 or 13,000 men. A corps of Peloponnesians, destined far Eubcea, com menced their march in February. It is generally thought that the fate of that important island will be soon decided. Coloeotroni has been lathy removed to the Convent of St. Elias, on one of the steepest rock* of H ydra. The proceedings pr. pa.-atory to his trial and that of the other rebtls are continued. We learn with much satisfaction that Bombay Gazettes ! to the 15th December have reached this country, by tl.e t Catherine Stewart Forbes, announcing that the fort of Kittoor, in the province of Bejapoor, in the recast, sur rendered to our troops on the sth December, and that Messrs. Brevet:sow and ELLIOTT. who had been de • tained in the fort, and for whose safety serious apprehen sions have been entertained, were given up, but not till *fter our guns had opened upon the fort for some consi derable time; it is said that they bad been very kindly treated. The capture of the fort was effected with the trifling loss on our side of six Europeans killed. Of the enemy, many hundreds are said to have been killed and wounded. The treasure found in the fort is stated at 13 lacs in geld and silver, and five lacs in jewels.— No official account, we believe, has yet been received. The Bill for regulating the Elective Franchise in Ireland was brought in last night and read a first time. The second reading will take place on Monday evening, unless the Catholic Relief Bill should interfere with that arrange ment. Some difference of opinion, we regret to observe, exists with respect to the Disfranchisement of the Irish Forty Shilling Freeholders, in quarters from which no op position to so salutary and desirable a measure could have been expected. That the present system of making Free holders for electioneering purposes is fraught with evils of the worst description, is an admitted fact. What argument is advanced to justify its continuance? Literally none; but we are protn'seil many hereafter. We must wait till they are brought forward ; for at present we are utterly unable to conceive how it can be maintained that a system so ruinous to the morals and welfare of the country can for a single moment be vindicated. An intelligent article on the subject of unitary laws will be found in a subsequent column : it illustrates, on a large seal; the terrible selfishness resulting from the dread of contagion. We recommend the facts stated in our Corres pondent's article to the serious attention of the Members of Parliament. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

The Duke of Dorset had an audience of the King yes terday. The book which the Archbishop of York presented to the King at the Levee, on Wednesday, was the full description of the last York Musical Festival, which his Majesty most graciously received, and was pleased to express his com mands to be Patron of the ensuing Festival. Monday the Duke and Duchess of Bedford left Ply month, after a short stay at Whiddon's Royal Hotel. The Earl and Countess Morley are aboui to leave Lon don to pass a short time on the Continent. Mr. Canning, we regret to learn, had a violent access of gout upon him, during the time he was addressing the House on Thursday night, which obliged him to leave it before the division ; and we are sorry to add that, in con sequence of this exertion, the Right Honourable Gentle man was yesterday confined to his room at Gloucester Lodge. We take this opportunity of correcting a mis statement in some of the Morning Papers, that Mr. Can ning left the House of Commons on Tuesday night early. Although he was then labouring under indisposition, he remained till the debate had nearly terminated. A Board of the Lords of the Treasury was held yesterday at the Treasury Chambers. Doves, Amt. 21.—Soon after four o'clock this morn ing his Majesty's steam-packet, the Fury, Captain Rutter, came into the harbour from Calais, having on board his Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe Coburg and suite. His Royal Highness went to Wright's Hotel, and retired to rest fora few hours, when he set off for London, under a salute from the guns at the heights. His Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge is hourly expected. The freedom of the City of Dublin has been voted to Mr. Frankland Lewis. TUE APOLLONICON.—On Thursday the first even ing performance for the season of the grand Apollonicon instrument took place at Messrs. Flight and Robson's Rooms, in St. Martin's-lane, which was conducted by five eminent perforn:ers, at the head of which was Mr. Thos. Adams, who was ably supported by Messrs. Guichartle, Lorde, Cooper, and Moseley, in his performance on this extensive and powerful instrument. The selection was very judiciously arranged. Many of the pieces were en cored ; among these were the Huntsman's Chorus in Ber Frieshutz—the slow movement in Haydn's Grand Sytn phony in I), and " If a youth should meet a maiden," from Der . Frieveheitz. The whole concluded with " God save the King," which was given with the greatest variety of taste and execution. A Dorset County Institution, in conjunction with the Royal National Society fur the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, was formed on Thursday last at Dorchester, of which the Earl of l)igby was appointed Patron, and the Earlof lichester President. The Stackpoole cause was to have come on on Saturday for further hearing before the Royal Court of Paris, when M. Dupin was to have concluded his pleading for the plain tiffs, Messrs. Driver, Cooper, and others; but in the morn ing of that day the son of the late Count George Stack poole, defendant, signed with the plaintiff a deed, by which he consents to pay the full amount of their claims, forming the sum of 3,200,000 f. He is moreover obliged to pay to the heirs by blood 1,000,000/., in order that the demand. of the plaintiffs for quashing the will may be declared null and void.—French Paper. TIM Dues OT NORTHUMBERI AND! STATE CAA AIA6E.—We have been favoured with a sight of this ele gant carriage, which will do equal credit to his Grace's taste, and the splendid Embassy in which he is shortly to be engaged. The body is painted yellow, with the family arms most splendidly emblazoned in a crimson and ermine mantle; the collar and badge of the Order of the Garter, encircling the Percy badge, arc displayed on the alternate pannels. The mouldings are of silver richly chased, and the top is finished by a massive cornice of the same metal, in which the Crescent is introduced. The upper pannels are entirely of plate glass; the lamps circular, and richly ornamented. The inside is lined with blue silk of the richest fabric. The carriage part is painted a beautiful lake, elaborately carved and gilt. The hammercloth is a rich dark blue, trimmed with elegant silk fringe, and the arms most superbly embroidered on each side. State har ness for eight horses has been made, coirespontling in ele gance with the carriage; the whole forming an equipage at once chaste in design and elegant in effect. Much credit is due to the builders, Messrs. !leech and Howard, of Long acre, for the style in which the order has been executed ; both as regard!, the workmanship and completicn by the time requited. We tintlerF•a id that it is imperative that it should be on board the vessel to-day. New LOCOMOTIVE CARRIAGE.—A patent has been obtained in Cermany, for one year, for a new inven tion, of which the following is the literal specifica tion :—" A carriage, with a moving straight, and endless iron rail-way, fur the conveyance as well of burdens, how ever heavy, as of travellers, with very little friction and shaking, as easily, quickly, and without noise, as with carriages on fixed iron rail-roads, without any greater ex pence of propelling power, up or down hill, and in any optional lateral direction, over paved or unpaved roads, whether passing over meadow, clay, or sandy ground ; lastly, without causing dust or dirt in the roads, and with out iujuring them."

Niew YOU, MARCH 2:2. We understand that several Spaniards have recently arrived here from Cuba, in consequence of the establishment of a military corn mission in that island, after the plan of those lately formed- in Spain, for the detection and punishment of all persons suspected, of liberal principle*. Many of the arrests, imprisonments, dcc. which have taken place in that cour.try for some months past have been effected by assemblies of this description, anti similar scenes may be expected in Cuba. Governor % has heretofore been can slifered a man of moderation and liberality t but in submitting to be thz instrument for effecting the unprincipled designs of Ferdi nand, he appears to have lost his claim to such a charac:er.

COMMODORE PORTER.-1I is understood, says the National Intelligarcer, that a Court of Inquiry is about to be instituted, at the request of Commodore Porter, to investigate his conduct in re gard to certain matters referred to in letters of Mr. Randall and Mr. Mountain, officially transmitted to Congress at the last Session, touching the transportation of specie, by vessels of the United States, &c. We have not heard when or where the Court is to as semble. Concerning the Faxardo affair, which was made the occa sion of the Commodore's recall, we are not heard of any thing further, except that it is to undergo investigation. COLOMBIA, _ _ The Baltimore Federal Gazette, remarking on the article of in telligence that the authorities of Porto Cavell° had agreed to in demnify the French, for property belonging to them, carried into that port by • privateer belonging in the Republic, says that a gen tleman in Baltimore, direct from Laguira, gives a very different account.—" lie states that the Colombian authorities had resisted the claim made by the French, and that General Parr had declared that in the event of the French squadron touching a dollar be longing to Colombia. he would sequester all the French property in _carams.'9 The Ilarquis Marian arrived at Carthagena on the 14th. in the French frigate Conmantia, and was to proceed immediately to the capital, ft was said, to deliver to the Vice-President documents from his Government of the greatest importance. THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. The following particulars relative to this interesting archipelago, and which is about to assume such additional importance, under the fostering auspices of the United Pacific Association, were communicated by M. Rises, who accompanied the late King to this country, for the express purpose of engaging British capitalists to establish a factory in his States:— The position of the Sandwich Islands, so inaccurately laid down in moat of the maps hitherto published, lies exactly between 18 deg. 37 sec. and 23 deg. 11 sec. North latitude; and between 155 deg. 7 min. and 188 deg. 30 min. longitude West of Greenwich. They consist of eleven, of which nine are inhabited, and in a state of prosperous cultivation. owbyher, the largest, has a circuit of 300 English miles, and contains 150,000 inhabitants. Wahoo is 160 miles in circumference, with a population of 110,000 souls. This is the residence of the King, and seat of Government. lie resides at Hunnaronta, a town of 8,000 souls, and having a good port. Mowee is 160 miles in ercuillterenCe, and contains 100,000 inhabitants. Mor&eoi has a circuit of 74 miles, and 25,000 inha. bltants. The other islands, of which the extent and inhabitants are much more limited, are called Ranai, Nisow, Touraou, and 51oeomsnow. The whole population may be estimated It 490,000 The climate of these islands is one of the most salubrious in the whole Pacific Ocean, nor have they ever been visited by any epidemic diseases, except those introduced by European visitors. In alluding to the soil, M. Rives describes it as being almost unequalled in fertility, and capab'e of producing many of the pro. ducuons both of tropical and more northern climes. Coffee, suzar, ginger, cotton, and tobacco ; as also balsams and drugs of various kinds, are cultivated with the greatest success. Its cele brated sandal wood, of which several cargoes are annually ex ported to China, has hitherto been chiefly bought up by American speculators, who have in many h . -dances sold it at the enormous profit of 300 and 400 per cent. Although, froin the "tact of these islanda lying in the same parallel of latitude with those points of Mexico in which the richest veins of gold and diver are found, It was supposed they also con. tained the precious metals, this fact was only placed beyond doubt in 1817, when a Russian naturalist visited them, for the purpose of exploring their mineral treasures. Besides improving the large tracts of land already ceded to the New Company cuttirg sandal wood, of which it possesses the exclusive right, and working the mines, an active commercial inter course will be opened with the North-west coast of America, California, the whole coast of the Southern hemisphere, the East Indies, the Philippines, and Japan , M. Rives, to whose enlightened views and indefatigable exer tions t h e present Association owes its rise, represents the natives of his adopted country, and among whom he has lived eighteen years, as being extremely docile, industrious, and mast anxious to ae quire civilization, in which they have already made a surprising progress. It was indeed at the earnest solicitation of the leading ' Chiefs, that the late King came to this country, in order to carry the foregoing objects into executior. WJR LV THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. We have stated that some internal disturbances have broken out among the Sandwich Islanders. The following are more circutustantial details respecting these unfortunate troubles [From the Dorton Courier, March 13.1 A gentleman of this town has favoured us with the following extract of a letter from his correspondent at the Sandwich Islands, dated Wha-hoo, September 8, 1831:—" Tamoree, late Kin; of Atooi, died on the 28th of last May, and the Wand having been formerly ceded to Rhio Rhin*, was taken possession of by Kryma. koo as Regent. The Atooi Chiefs were excecdingly dissauslied with the cession of their island in the first instance, and were held in subjection only by their King bring kept here es a hostage. The dissatisfaction was increased by an unpopular Governor being set over them, and by other acts ; and on Sunday, the Bth of August, some of the Atooi ptople, with Gunge Tomareet at their head, made an attack on the for., with the intention of seizing the arms and ammunition. The attack was ill-planned, and was consequently unsuccessful. They were repulsed, and about 20 men and one or two chiefs left dead. Krymakoo, with Tanaahamaha, the new Go vernor, shut them up in the tort, and despatched their vessels for avistance. Since this time the islands have been in a perfect tur moil. All business is at an end, except the war; the vessels have all been put in requisition to carry troops, and the natives are all th e t im e training and firing oil' their guns. When Kryntakoo had about 1 000 or 1,500 natives. and many Chiefs, from the 11indward Islands, he ntatched out of the tort, and attacked the Atooi people in their entrenchmeas. The latte' were beaten, and retrcanxi, leaving many dead. George retired to the MOUflutigis, with only a few followers, and the troops of the Government set cut to scour the island. Since then the war has become altuost one of extermi nation, and has been prosecuted with savage barbarity. 'I he hills are covered with dead bodies, the lands laid WM'', and the houses burned. George is in the mountains, and is said to have about six hundred natives with him, but they mist suffer from want of pro ' v skins, as the island is ruined, and will probably be obliged to submit in the course of a month." • Rhio KM° was King of Owhyhee and other Windward hinds, and died In England lain summer. t George Toinaree was from the "Cornwall School," and sent out by the Jlissiomay Society. The American Papers mention that the new Governor of the Castle of Ulloa, General t'opinger, had arrived there in the Spanish frigate Sabina, with a relief of troops and a sup ply of stores and ammunition. UNITED STATES LOAN.—A Borten paper "f the 21st ult. contains a notification of an intended new loan for the United States, in the following terms THE TWELVE AiILLIONS LOAN.—The Acting-Secretary of the Treasury has issued notice th.it books are to be opened at the Treasury of the United States, and at the several loan offices, on the Ist of April, and to continue open till the Ist of October, 1825, to receive suriptions for the amount of twelve millions of dollars of the six per sit. stock of 1818." . . A ChOrch is shortly to be erected in the 'Wage of 'lam worthy, near Poole.. EMANCIPATION OF SOUTH AMERICA. Nsw YORK, Mastcit 23. The dinner given in honour of 'die victory which sealed the emancipation of South America, took place at the City Hotel on Monday. A numerous and respectable company sat down to a table provided with every delicai of the season ; and the evening passed off with an hilarity, good feeling, and temperance, such as are seldom exhibited on similar occasions. The room was hand. comely decorated ; and the portraits of Columbus. Washington, and Bolivar, encircled with the flags of the Republics of the New World, presented the appropriate emblems of the enterprise, Valour and Virtue, whose triumph the day was meant to comme morate. Amongst the toasts proposed were— Columbus--he gave a new world to liberty. George Washington. Bolivar and his fellow-pattiots. The events we celebrate—practical triumphs of the rights of man. The Holy Alliance of America—its objeetfrecdom, not tyranny. Oentral Sucre—second to Bolivar, but first in the fields of Ayacucho. the people of Spain--may they take a lesson in the science of Government from their American children. After the regular toasts had been drunk, General Swtrr (the Chairman) rose, and stated, that invitations ' had been sent to several of the principal men of the United States, whom circumstances had prevented from attending, but who, in their answers, had expressed common feelings in relation to the from event cel e brat e d. A mong ot h er l etters rece i ve d were one from General Jackson, and another frotn /dr. Calhoun, containing toasts, which those distinguished gentlemen begged to offer to the company: and General Swift. after reading the letters, proposed, as the toast of General Jackson— " Bolivar—Blessed by the same Divinity that grtided our rerolu. tionary struggles, he has given freedom and independence to his country. May he resign his commission to the people, as the only legitimate source of power, and thereby be associated with our immortal Washington." This toast was drunk with three cheers ; as was also the follow ing toast from Mr. Calhoun : " The natives of America, united by the sacred bond of liberty and equality, may their peace and liberty be eternal." Letters were al-o rend from Itlr. Crawford and Governor Clinton, conveying their apologie s fo r not b e i ng a bl e to atten d . Af ter w hi c h the following toasts were drunk : " The independence of Cuba, so interesting and important to the United Stmts.". " The meteor of the immortal 11 . ashington—he broke the galling chain s of North America, and marked out the path of freedom to his worthy imitator Bolivar, and to the other deliverers of South America." Mr. BUd )taN, the British Consul, being called on for a toast, rose and addressed th! President in the following words :-- Permit me to observe, Sir, that I deem the honour of being a guest upon this occasion among one of the most gratifying circum stances connected with my official station. Much has been stated as to revolutions and their happy consequences in thisms,embly this evening, but there is anothe r I cannot om i t t hi s oppr - tun i ty to notice, which even a few years back seemed more unlikely sad less expected by many, than those great changes we are thus happily met to celebrate, and permit me to add one, in which the prosperity of both is deeply interested. Need I mention the revolution in sentiment and feelings, which I rejoice to hear my testimony to. as having arisen between our respective governments, which is fast spreading among all classes, and which I earnestly hope may settle down into a permanent friendship. It may be asked, what has the growth of go .1 feeling between England and the United States to do with the celebration of the recent victories which has brought us thus together? I will not say, go ask at Madrid, at Paris. at Vienna, or St. Petersburgli—though there their importance might be discovered--but I would direct any inquirer to go to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, pass along the Andes on to Cape Horn, thence from the Oronoco to Colombia—and who are they within these vast limits that do not see in the friendship of the Lion of Old England and the Eagle of these United States, a shield to guard their struggle for the firm establishment of their independence ? Yes, Sir, who does not perceive the force of the observation attri buted to Mr. Canning, when adverting to the happy consequences of these good feelings, at a dinner at Liverpool, " Mother and Daughter against the world." From whence, Sir, has this proud eminence of " Mother and Daughter" arisen, and wherein does it consist ? Certainly not from superior powers of body or mind, or from personal courage, patient endurance of toil, or superiority of climate; no, Sir: for who surpasses France in arts, science, and military fame? Ina' people are more endued with chivalrous bravery than the Spaniards ? What people brave death in the field with more unmoved courage than the German ? What Russian ever received his dcath.wour.d in his bark ? Where, then, Sir, is it? Sir, it is in the predominance of religious and commercial liberty.

Yesterday forenoon a Vestry Meeting or the inhabitants of ZAM. beth was held at the Vr,try.hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of petitioning the Honourable Houses of Parliament, for a repeal of the duties affming the importation of foreign grain into this country. The Rev. Dr. D'Ogt.gy, the Radar, declined taking the chair, on the gronnd of not being sufficiently conversant with the question to offer an opinion. 111 r. VAUGHAN, one of the churchwardens, was consequently voted to the chair, and opened the business by remarking on the very general importance of the question then offered for their dia. euesion, as it affected the real interests of the classes of society generally. Mr. FALL proposed the first Resolution. Mr. CANNON moved a Resolution for the fixing of a fair pro. teeting duty instead or the Art of Parliament, which measure he contended wonld so completely replete the supply of foreign corn in the markets as to prevent their being depressed, and would re. move the attendant high price in the event of scarcity. Captain Tucx, Mr. BAINIRIDOZ, and Mr. Coos, also ad dressed the Meeting no the propriety of petitioning the Houses of Parliament, and trasted the Act of which they complained would be removed. Several Resolutions were then proposed, and carried 11111L01. mously, upon which Mr. FALL very forcibly alluded to the enlightened measures of the Ministry, and moved the following Resolution : That in the opinion of this Meeting, the enlightened measures of his Majesty's Go►ernment are already dissipating our prejudices of corporeal slavery to the African, and of mental intolerance among ourselves, in such a degree as leads to the hope that, in this flood tide of liberality and prosl•erity, each man will find in his fellow-man a brother. (Cheers.) This Resolution seemed to be the handle to excite discord in the Meeting, which was highly respectable, but vet y select. A Gentleman rose, and said, as an introduction might be noes_ vary, he world introduce himself as the Honorary Secretary to a Society for Bettering the Condition of the Poor in Ireland, which had existed, or as we understood him, was once about to be formed. Ile begged moat decidedly to oppose the Resolution, from a firm conviction that it was suhversise of the principles of the British Constitution to concede one iota to the Catholics. (Laughter.) Mr. FALL, Captain TUCK, and other Gentlemen. gave their opinion that the claims of the Catholic were just, and so danger was to be apprehended from granting them. The Resolutions and Petition were carried; and after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the Meeting dissolved. Ma. SAVARY.—We yesterday stated, that • respite had been granted to Mr. Savary. The Bristol Gazette of Thursday contains the following letter from Mr. Secretary Peel, announcing the circumstance, and which was received that morning by J. Gardner and C. L. Walker, Esqrs.

Eft is understood that Mr. Savary will be transported for life.] CAT MANIA.—The recent death of a woman, who, a short time previously, had been bitten by a cat, in a house near the upper end of Deal-stroet, created an alarm in the mind of the old lady (not a maiden lady) who was the patroness of the said cat ; and, although it did not appear that the death of the woman was caused by the said bite, the risibility thereof led to a consideration of the circum stances, in relation to the numerous feline inmates of the house. After due deliberation it was deemed desirable to call in the assistance of the peace-officers, not only to pre vent the said outrageous Grimalkin from doing further mischief, but also to guard against the extension of the ma lady, which might have been communicated to the others; and, in consequence, the constables proceeded to their duty, and, after an arduous encounter, succeeded in killing and bagging eleven out of seventeen cats, which they found in ' the upper rooms of the house, where they had, perhaps, la en born and bred. The perturbation of the lady patroness, during the operation, may he more easily imagined than it can be described.—Lirerpeni Paper.

PrIRENOLOGY. Dr. Spurzbeitn delivered his sixteenth lecture on the science of beganPhren Phrenology , gy statingat the tat C o r e o wpnr principal lAonb object of t , on h lecture to direct . .he a tt ent i on of his auditory to the practical utility of Phrenology. It wa s at t hi s stage t h at the stu d y b ecame diffi cu l t, ditlareY last would Id Ifsb particularly when they came to make application of its principles .to individual,. They would readily conclude, when they saw that one part of the cerebral mass was mere developed than the rem, that that power was the most active; but it would be more dif ficult to speak of its modifications. The difficulties wore indeed so numerous that he was almost afraid to mentioa them; but he would do so because he was more apprehensive of the support of ignorant friends than of any opposition be could receive teen the inteersaries of the science. There were too many attempted is mike appli eation of phrenology without sufficient knowledge to guide them, and in this manner they did infinite mischief. It was the same with those who professed to practice medicine without that thorough knowledge of the art which was essential to success. Nothing in sheet, in his opinion, was so dangerous to mankind ad ignorance. The beat way of learning to apply the science was; when they saw a partieular development of an orgar,m inquire of the person whether Its did not feel the correspondent propensities strong f The answer would be found uniformly to agree with the appearance of the organ. But when they came t t consider the actions of men. a different course was necessary. The Processor earnestly insisted en what he had stated in a former lecture, that hi speaking sod judging of others we must rot think that all had the same view of the same nbiect that we ourselves had. We meat not, he repeated it again, judge of others by ourselves.. This was an error, not only in judging of man, but also in legislating for him. This was so natural, that man represented the Supreme Being as endowed with those qualities which lie thought necessary to hi,nat f . For pros[ of these assertions it w.s only necessary to examine the writings a those who had spoken In the name of the Alti.ighty, and they would find the Supreme Being always &len with the character and pitasions of the writer. Alan was only to be judeed by the standard of nature, and according to th a t standard the different. modifications would not be difficult to be distinguished. He then proceeded to show in what manlier the powers existing in each individual might be modified. Each power did not act by Itself, but in combination with others. Suppose an individual with the organ of Self.esteeni much developed. We might immediately conclude that he had a good opinion of Maisel. But was that all that was to be considered? Certainly not. The question then was, how this man would apply his self.eateent in his conduct in society. It would first he necessary to consider other circumstances. The powers were not active simply in proportion to the size of the organs. A man might hare a particular organ very much de "eloped ; but, if he was not generally disposed to activity, he would not be active in that particular quality. A man on the other hand might have a linedl development of a particular organ, and yet if Le was active in his general habits, that organ also would be active. Another circumstance was to be taken into consideration, viz. t the education or circ ums t ances o f the party. A man of the most noble qualities might be formed with the organ of Self.estzent strongly developed, and so might the most ignoble; but it was in the different manner of showing their self-esteem that the distinction of character would be seen. In fact, nobleness of mind could not exist without a certain portion of self.eneetn. The Pro. fester thought this branch of the subject so impel-Ant that he gave several illustrations of it. The same act might be done by two men, and yet front very different motives. In the case of persons going often to divine worship, it might be expected that the organ of Veneration would be very much dove. 'mod ; but this consequence did not necessarily follow. biome might go from vanity, and a desire to display themselves, and others from different motives. In the example of charity they would perhaps find, that many persons who gave large sums would have the proper organ ; but there would be many that had it not. These latter persons, it might be safely affirmed, did not act so from real motives of charity, but front some other motives. The Professor then adduced several other illustrations of lila posi. tion of the necessity of Combination. The instants he had ad. dueed he thought sufficiently calculated to teach them to combine the different powers, in order to find the true motives of action. He had before stated, that most dramatic performers had the urgan. of Secretiveness; but it did not follow that it was essential to have it very prominently, In order to become eminent. An actor who had to play a part that had cunning in it, must, to represent the character well, have this organ strongly developed, for he could not represent well what he himself did not feel. This was the reason that some actors were very fine in one particular line of acting, but i totally failed in another; and the reason was, that they themselves had not the feelings they attempted to represent. A woman might be a very good mother, without having the organ of Philoprogeni. tiveness; and an actress might very well represent a mother in distress, without the organ of Secretiveness ; but she would not be able to play any part in which slyness, revenge, and avarice were depicted. An author, in the same manner, only drew those cha. ractem and pinions well that be had within himself, for he could not draw a character of which he bad no idea. Shakespeare doubt. less had this organ, or he would not have been able to trace the in. dividual powers and lower passions so well as he had. When the combination of powers, good and bad, In each individual was eon. sidered, it showed the danger of forming a judgment from Oct organ only ; for in the instance of Shakspeare, they knew thlt he had higher powers in conjunction with that of taccr,tiveness. Let them look abroad into the world, arid they would perceive that everybody who had acquired wealth and influence by his industm would have the organ of Secretiveness well developed ; but aI. thirugh this was the case, it did not follow that this alone would suffice: on the contrary, it required combination with other powers. There were some men who at first sight would be pronounced peevish arid tetchy, and persons would in consequence be on theft guard in their conversation with them ; not but that they might be very good men generally speaking. Such a man had a great desire of approbation, Joined with a smaller development of the organ of Self-esteem. Now, a man that had the organ of Self.esteem more developed, and that of the Desire of Approbation less, would be • great deal better received in society, because he would be more see. defied with himself, and not be so subject to ill-humour upon slight occasions. Now, the great difference in two such men resulted from that slight difference in the combination of their powers. There were gay, serious, and religious characters, and the difference between them only resulted from some such slight variety in the combination of their powers. Some children were of a serious and grave character from their infancy, and were often supposed not us have such good parts as children who shovel themselves to be of • more lively temperament; but when they were sent to school it generally happened that the serious boy had the superiority : but it was the lively boy who would make his way in the world, for he would please everybody on Ant acquaintance, whereas the other would be kept in the back-ground. He thought tills subject se important, that he should punioe it farther in his next Lecture. ENGLISH AND BRIS7'OL CHANNELS SHIP CA .V4L. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Brl,—The question between Mess % King and Lukin and my.. self is, in reality, whether the House of Lads will allow their Lordships' rules and orders, relative to contracts entered into by subscribers, to be rendered a dead letter by a transfer of shams r men of straw. In asserting that the subscribers who signea the Contract would continue responsible for future instalments, notwithstanding a transfer of their shares, I concluded that the contract was framed according to the true intent and meaning of the standing order of the Ilouve cf Lords, No. 19 - 2, which declares, " that no Bill foe any suc.i purposes (a Canal being one of them) shall be read a third time in this House, unless four.fifths of the prohable expense of the proposed works shall have been subscribed by persons under a contract binding the subscribers. their heirs, executor., and admini straton, for payment of the monies so subscribed, within a limited time. nor unless there shall be contained a provision in such Bill, that the whole of the proliable expense of such work shall be sub scribed in like mentor before the powers and authorities to be given by such Bill shall b.. put in force." It is or course powilde, either by express words or implication, to render any deed of no effect upon a given event ; and perhaps Messrs. King and Lukin't deed may be so framed as to become inoperative upon a transfer of shares after the passinf of the Act, but then arises the qnestiln, whether such a deri will be a too pliance with the Lords' order., and I have thought it right to take the advice of two banisters of eminence upon the point, who'd'', b ot h g i ven a n opinion (which I shall be happy to show any gentle. man who may favour me with a call) that it will not, as the object of the standing order is to obtain a security for the cotopletioa of the work. It follows that the House of Lords will, if they allow the pram contract to stand, and its effect be as contended for, insist upon the insertion of a clause in the Bill, rendering the contractors perms. nently liable, and whether such contractors are liable as the deed is at present framed,' is of little consequences, because they mil un doubtedly be so when the Bill passes into a law. The charge of gross misrepresentation, I treat with utter con. tempt. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant. Green's Hotel, Linenln's-inn-'ields, MC. BROADMEAIt. 22d April, 1825.
