■ GERM AN PAPERS. (From the Ahortseine Zeit reg.) MARSEILLES, SEPT : 2. Wehave received several accounts from the Eerant, which again i e giresent the interdions of the Viceroy of Egypt as liable to great ' suspicions. `• Not•idueanding all his armaments," say they, he is not really in earnest in the expedition against the Mores; sail Effendi had a grew deal oh trouble to induce hint to it, and and be did not cons, r till he had no alternative left, either to ac cept the very advantageous idlers made hint by the l'orte, or to break with it entirely. As the latter was not Imitable to his plans, st hum for the present, they not being yet ripe fur so important • step. lie at length scripted the offer*, and really gave orders for fitting out the expedition hit immediately declarCil to the Tur kish agent that he would t net place himself at the head of the expedition, as he was wished at l'onstantinople, but gave the direction of it to his son. The ;imamate, however, rare:tied so rduwly, that Nagel Effendi was obliged to make continual renton. strances to get it hastened ; though the fleet was quite ready to Sail, and the troop* were saseribled in and about Alexandria. But it seemed that Ibrahim Psehta was furnished with particular inStrue tioes to defer indefinitely the nn jested attack on the 31orea. That it was for this reason he went with his fleet to Rhodes. where he made use of all manner of pretexts to begin a dispute with the Ca pital' Pasha, in order to esieute his delays. The Turks sus. pert that he will take the tint opportunity to return to Alex. andria. In general Cary are throughont the levant highly in censed wish the Vitierny and at t'oristantinople itself the indig nation at his conduct haul as Mereasid, that it was expected the Porte would no lontter.hcsitate. but. whatever might be the con s-Nonce. declare bin sit enemy." It must soon appear what foun dation tine is. fur these corectrires. It cannot, however, be denied that Ittraidni's *clay near Ithodes, at the critical moment when the tturcess of the campaign depended on rapid operations, appears to rortoborMC the suspicion. The Some lei ters front the Levant say that the Capital Pacts. mid those about him, have hitherto given bat very few proofs of ability. and have suffered to pass over the best time, in which, with their great re sources. then might have cti2inpted something of importance. Miauli's drW Mar.truvres hate hitherto embarrassed the l'apitan Pasha. and baffled the attack on Kamm. which could hardly have failed if the Ottoman Commander had covered with his whole f o r*, the hintlint: of the troops. lit. wart of decision has caused the loos of a division of his fleet, which he imprudently detsehed without keeping up any connextion with it. Many persons already prophecy a dierriteeful end of the campaign, which was annonneed With so much pomp. Famitrorr, 0ct.12._.„ We have this moment erezived from Coblentz the melanchide news that hi.

There have been so many contradictory accounts of Van Diemen's Land lately published, that the following extracts from a letter, written by a ;cost reipectable settler to his friend in London, and dated March 29, may not prove without value:— I tun again in the slated house, with all my packages opened for axle, not being able to prevail upon any of our great merchants to purthase any of my wares. at which I am not surprised, (or the colony is so overstocked with goods of every description. and money is so extremely scarce. that it is a very tl:fficult matter to make sales on any terms except on credit, and then the chances am much against the payment being made a: any future period.

" Our passage from the Cape was very boisterous, and on the II th of January our old ship (the Aguilar) caught tire in the store-mom immediately below the dining-room, during a gale of wind, with a very heavy sea running, which threatened destruction to all on board, as there wail no chance of escaping in the boats. To en deavour to paint the scene is beyond my feeble powers. Imagine to yourself upwards of eighty souls assembled chiefly on deck, some screaming, some praying, others endeavouring to procure buckets or utensils to carry water in order to quench the devourbig element, the Captain running up and down, wringing his hands. and scarcely knowing what lie did. Three several times he gave orders to have the boats cut away, from a fear of the men attempt. mg to escape from the flames. and thereby depriving us of their assistance; but the order was mot obeyed.

The accident arose from the lanthom being thrown over, and the candle falling near a cask of gin, which was leaky. The Hibernia will sail from this place in June, to take home Govemor Sorrell and family." WS FLY sr NIGHT.

MR. FAPNTLEROY'S FINAL EXAMINATION. The final arrang,ementa for the committal of this gentle man twin; on Monday completed, a communication to that effect was sent to Mr. Conant, the committing Magistrate, and in the course of that evening directions were given to Mr. Vickery, the Keeper of the House of Correction, to apprise the prisoner of his contemplated removal for exa mination yoiterday to Marlborough-street office, and thence, consequently, to Nesvgate. This intimation was received by Mr. Fauntleroy without any apparent agitation or uneasiness, and he expressed his intention of being ready at the appointed time of removal: and as a kind of pledge was given by some persons concerned in the prose cution, that on his next examination notices would he sent to some of the principals of eminent banking and commer cial houses, the office was thronged with gentlemen, even so much so that with considerable difficulty, at one o'clock, scarcely room could be made for the persons in attendance on other business. On the Bench sat Mr. Berries, Sir T. Farquhar, Mr. Williams, Mr. Young, Sir George Farrant, Lord Roch fort, and several other gentlemen of the commercial world. The private room was also full of gentlemen, among whom were the Governor, Deputy Governor, and two or three Proprietors of the Bank of England. Mr. Conant, at one o'clock, intimated to some gentle , men that the prisoner would not be examined until half past two o'clock, and then the proceeding Would merely be the usual regular one of committal to Newgate; but it was also understood that Mr. FresMeld intended to advance two other charges of the fraudulent transfer of stock to a very large amount. Mr. Freshtidil, and two of his clerks, were busily occu pied with Mr. Fitzpatrick in preparing depositions. A gentleman in the course of the morning drove up in his carriage to the office, and asked to see Mr. Conant, and immediately was ushered into his presence. The nature of the conference, which lasted someminutes, was on the subject of the accused person, and the gentle man shelved a paper to the Nl:wistrate, finally requesting an order of admission to the Douse of Correction to see Mr. Fauntleroy. The Magistrate said, he would be in the office before he could get there. However, we understand the gentleman succeeded iu the object of his application. At one o'clock Plank, Schofield, and Clements left the office, and some time after a hackney-coach drove up, in which were these officers and the prisoner ; the door was instantly thronged by persons whom curiosity to see him bad collected. Ile alighted, and on seeing the crowd seemed rather agitated. Ile leaned on Plank's arm as he walked to the strong-mom. Ile was dressed as at the last examination. At half-pact two o'clock Mr. Conant ortleted Mr. Faunt lerov to be brought into the office; he was immediately introduced, and an officer took his station at each side of him. He (Mr. F.) was placed in front of the bar, and stood nearly in the same position as we described him at the last examination ' leaning on his left arm, his right hanging down. Ile kept his eyes fixed on the ground, and appeared to take but little notice of anything passing. Ile howcd on entering the office, which was thronged to excess. Mr. Freshficld said he 'multi off.•r two other rases against the prisoner, as probably they might be produced at the Sessions. He called Colonel Thema, Luster, of the army, whose deposition proved that 6,011 f. 13s. Q. was placr'l in the 4 per Cents. Consolidated Long Annuities, to the witness's account, about the year INIC , and the prisoner and Messrs. Graham and Co. were appointed to receive the dividends, Sec., and that the power of attorney produced, signed by the prisoner himself. and the other trustees, dated loth Dec. I 19, was not authorised by him, and his name was forged to that docutnent. Jetlethal' Kelly, Esq., of Bath, proved that his name as a subscribing witness to that power of attorney was forged. The usual proof by the clerks of the bank of Messrs. Graham, Stracey, and Co., and the Bank of England, of the names of Mr. Kelly and the other subscribing witness, Miss Elizabeth Fauntleroy, to be the prisoner's hand writing, was adduced, as was also the proof of his having obtained the money from the Bank of England. Mr. Freshfield said, the other subscribing witness, Miss Fauntleroy, being the prisoner's sister, he would not call her. Indeed no apology was necessary when he stated this. The power of attorney purported to be drawn at Wex ford, in Ireland. The proof of the transfer of stock to the amount of .5001. by the same means, belonging to Mr. J. Griffith, of Col lingbeer, Devonshire, was then adduced. All the witnesses in the two cases were bound over to prosecute and give evidence, and the prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Mr. Forbes, his solicitor, asked whether he was to be removed thither directly? Mr. Freslifiehl said, the Bank had nothing to do with long or abort commitments. The evidence of committal was before the Magistrates, and the Bank should look to them for the votrity of the prisow:r until the trial. Mr. Conant said, the prisoner should be taken to New gate on Thursday next. lie was then removed. On the morning of Mr. F.'s apprehension, one of the principal clerks, on his coming to the banking-house, told him lie had heard that two Bow-street officers had been parading up and down the street all night; on which Mr. F , without any apparent perturbation, replied, that he sapposcil there bad been a robbery in the neighbour hood, and added, " you must take care that the thieyes get nothing here! " THE BRITISH PRESS. CATIIOL IC ASSOC/A WON: [ From the Dtth/fe Eresieg Peet of Saturday.] The Association has commenced its third Session this day. In looking back through the two last years, in con templating the difficulties it had to contend with, and the übjects it had to achieve. we think the Catholics of Ireland have reason to be proud of the efforts made by this Asso ciation. Called into exiraenee by the fury and insolence of the Ascendancy, it has been assailed by their bitterest vi tuperation. It was not only the Catholic Claims which were arraigned, but the Catholic Religion was most virulently insulted. It was not only the Leaders in the Association that were abused, but every Catholic Gentle man who appeared at the Meetings was gibbited in the co lumns of the Orange Press. To do the latter justice, their tactique, unjustifiable on any principle of fair warfare, as it must be coafestr.4.l to be, was exMlently calculated for their object. At other times, and under other circum stances, it would certiinly have succeeded--quiet men would have been terrified. But the times and the circum stances were such that men found they had no option ; they would be compelled silently to submit to a base Fac tion, or to brave them—to meet them and their instruments with scorn and defiance. The manly and the prudent mode was adopted ; they met day after day, and they were faithfully aided by that staunch Press of Dublin which never flinched from the principles of the cause. still, the difficulties of their pursuit were numerous. They hail to organise an association, which would rlOt . trench upon the numerous laws made against Political As semblies—and this they have done. They had to establish a communion or sentiment with the interior. This they have done. They had to establish an uniformity of feeling anti object between Catholics of every kind. This they have done. They had to embark the Catholic Clergy, and the Catholic Hierarchy of Ireland, not only to the common cause, but to the mode of pursuin that cause. This also has been iccomplished. They 1 to disabuse Parliament on the snbject of education, a nd le 'Wiwi the Catholic rent. These great objects have been effected. Thaw arte now a thousand members,—and there is upwards of a thou sand pounds per month collected of Catholic rent. . . . . Itni it is not in Ireland alone that the influence of the ' Catholic Association is felt. The English Catholics have made common cause with their Irish brethren. A commu nication has been established between the two bodies. The Veto has for ever been throw overboard by each. We have some reason to know that the Association will be joined by bodies of Dissenters from various quarters, who will unite with them in firm, but temperate appeals to the Legislature, for the repeal of all disabilities affecting the citizens of a free state on account of their conscientious ad herence to their religious principle. Never, in a word, did the cause of liberty wear so fa vourable an aspect as at this moment. Let us be moderate, and let us persevere. DVILIS, SATrItDaT, OCT. lA. The Association met this day. The Secretary announced, that 3211. 17a. id. had been received during the last week, on account of the Catholic Rent. Among the subscriptions were the follow. ing Lord Viscount Oormanston. Gormanston Castle tlO Colonel Talbot, 31. P. Slalabide Castle 10 . . _ _ Mr. Kt 'MAN read the following letter from Col. Talbot:— • 31alabide Caade. Oct. 7, 1824. " To the Members of tio. Raman Catholic AllSOCiltioll of Ireland. "tiT XT LE r N.—l have directed - Ir. Kirwa;(;hiTha;;;;; good enough to take charge of this letter) to hand to the Secretary 10f., as my subscription to the Catholic Rent. If I could for a moment deceive myself into a belief, that the whole tenor of my public life were not in unison with this act, I trust a proper pride, owever contrary it might be to the suggestions of self-interest, would preserve me from the meanness of tendering support to a cause, merely because that cause Is progressively prosperous and triumphant ; but when I reflect on my past conduct, it is with infinite pleasure and pride I can meal to remembrance the early and continued support which I hare at all times afforded to the Catholic cause. " When the question, to use the words of the Immortal Grattan, was small at first and lowly, like mist at the heels of a country man.' I claim the merit of having voted for it; and now that that question, by the irresistible progress of truth and justios—by the increasing numbers and wealth of the body—by their uniform, steady, and unconditioned loyalty. has, notwithstanding, not only ascended the hills, but overcasted the hemisphere, I trust I may be permitted, as sharing in the exertion, to glory in the result. The Catholics of Ireland may firmly rely, that as I have never abandoned them in adversity, so never will I betray them in pros the subscription which I now tender I desire to be considered rather as an evidence of the approbation of a measure of ;great practical wisdom, than as an offering worthy public acknowWg• LOWIL " I awl, Gesailliatti. " Tour faithful Friend and Countryman, " RICHARD WOGAN TALBOT." The rt.wing of 31r. Talbot's letter was acc•lmpanied throughout with loud and long-continued cheers. After the applause had somewhat subsided, 3lr. KIRWAN said, that so admirable a letter needed, indeed but little eulogium. It was at once so explicit and comprehen sive, as to speak for itself. It would, however, be doing an in justice to the writer and the count to defraud the public of so invaluable a political document. The ry, attestation of such a man as Mr. Talbot was valuable to the Association. The good opi nion of one whose whole life has been a carve of the purest pa. triotism, weighed against the host of ignominious wretches, apes. tales to their country and to their creed, who railed against every patriotic measure " with all the impoverished anger of fevered and distempered intellects," Before, however, he made any mo tion on the subject, lie could not help reminding the Association, and the Catholics generally, of the obligations which they owed, not only to the writer of the letter, but to his family generally. That family had been intimately connected with the renown and I glory of Ireland. The father of the Duke of Tyreonnell (Ri. chard Talbot) was one of the few Irish Judges who administered the laws in a fair and impartial spirit. To his deep learning and inexhaustible patriotism, Lord Clarendon (a prejudiced writer) had borne attestation, in that interesting work, the continuation of hip history. After the Prince of Orange's invasion, the firmness of Richard Talbot. Duke of Tyrconnell, preserved Ireland ; and he nobly refused all offers of submission or capitulation. He had adhered with "desperate fidelity," to his lawful monarch; and such was the opinion of hie justice and honour, said the Duke of Berwick, in his memoirs, that he was the person chosen by the suf fering loyalists in Ireland, to regain thine mates which had been forfeited for their devotion to the unfortunate House of Stuart. The father of the present Sleinher for the County of Dublin bad ex penied one hundred thousand pounds in introducing the cotton manufacture into this country, and had been well nigh ruined for his generous devotion towards his suffering countrymen. The pre sent possessor of his name and fortune, however, laid no stress on the virtues of others, he relied entirely on his own merits, thinking with the poet Shirley. " !low vain arc all hereditary honors ; Those poor pos.essions from another's deeds; Unless our own just virtues form our title, And give a sanctian to the foul assumptions." Mr. KIRWAN then proceeded, in a minute and very flattering specification of the various public services of Colonel Talbot, and said, that motet the Administration of the Duke of Portland, he might have had a title Intel he dawned the cause of the people--he alluded also to his abandonment of his party, at the period of their joining the present Ministry—to his patriotic conduct in the Irish Parliument—and to hi. perpetual residence. Ile had always ruled too for Pialiamentary Reform. ‘Ve shall give a full report of Mr. Kirwan's speech on Tuesday. The following letter front the Viscount Gormariston was received with great and lung-contioued marks of approbation : " Gonnanstuo Gestic, Oct. 11,1821. "MY Drias Ma.

PILOVISIONAL 1-140TECTION wocirer.—A latter was addressed to the Chief Clerk of Union Hall Police Office yesterday, stating that an Institution, as above-natned, had been lately formed by a number of ladies, at the head of which stands 'Mrs. Fry's name. It is for teachers in families or schools, assistants in shops, housekeepers, ladies' mauls, and female servants in general, of good character, out of place, who, by application to any of the Members of the Society, are afforded temporary relief, if they can satisfactorily explain that they are unable to provide for themselves. The letter went on to state, that as many dis tressed young women C3llle before the Magistrates, who know not how to dispose of them, on application to any of the enclosed list of ladies, they would provide an asylum for those of good character. Then followed a list of the names of the subscribers. The Magistrate, on reading the letter, observed that it was a most laudable Institution, and would be the mean, of saving hundreds of poor crea tures. lie then desired the paper to be placed in a con spicuous part of the Office, in order to direct those persons who should be considered objects worthy of being admitted into the Institution. REVENUE ARISING IN IRELAND. From the Tenth Report of the Commissioners of In quiry into the Collection and Management of the Revenue in Ireland, we extract the following passages, respecting the Preventive Coast Guard, the Quarantine Service, the Laws of the Customs and the Warehousing Act. The earlier part of the Report re'.atea to the Out-ports:— On our inspection of the out-port% of Scotland, our attention was particularly directed to the establinhistent of the preventive coast guard in that country ; and in our Mull rerort w- have stated several grounds upon which, in our opinion, the maintenance of that force, on the scale and system of management tl•ere adopted, had tecome inexpedient. The previsions made for the discharge of a similar service in Ireland, has subsequently been one of the objects of our examination, and indeed the magnitude of the ex. penult attending its tOrmivion and support, could not fail to at tract to it our peculiar consideration. flue first point of our in quiry was, to ascertain the nature and extent of the evil against which this fosse is intended as a protection ; and with this view we have punned various investigation% into the extent of the contra band traffic with foreign countries, and the means by which it is carried on. Sane of the examinations will be found in the A ppen d ix, but there are obvious reasocot against our making public all the evidence which we have received. The result has been a conviction on our minds that foreign smuggling actually prevails on these coasts, to a degree which requiem the maintenance of an extraordinary force for its prevention • the practice, neveribe. less, appears to be in great measure confined to the single snide of tobacco, for, although attempts have been made for the clandes. tine introduction of tea, French brandies, and a few other articles, it has not been to such an extent as to require a distinct notice. The consumption, however, of tobacco is no great in Ireland, and the duty levied upon it is an object of so much importance , that w e are nitrified your Lordships win concur with us in thinking, the continuance of the protection would be justified if shcwn to be re quisite for this single branch of revenue. The Preventive Coast Guard was first established on the east coast of Ireland in the year 11120, as a matter of experiment, and has gradually been extended so uto surround the inland. Stations are selected at various points on the coast, at each of which screw. modation is provided for a detachment of met, varying in nuintser according to the nature of the coast. and the facilities it presents fur landing 's ; each station is provided with two boats, arid with a sup yof arms and ammunition, and other necessary stores. A chief o is appointed to each station, and a certain number of SWIM% dolkinfilllY fres three to eight, according to their dis tame from atoll other, are placed under the charge of a superior officer, styled an " Inspecting f'ommander," who is h e ld respon sible for the due protection of the coast within his district, and is under the immediate orders of the Comptroller-General. All the officers and men are selected from such as have been accustomed to the sea service, and the former have in general been officers of the navy. 'I lie nature of the service upon which this force is employed may be collected from the instructions issued under the directions of your Lordships, where its object is described to be, "to prevent the landing df smuggled goods, whereby the arrangements made by the smugglers on shore may be defeated ; the disposal of the to. been), if ultimately landed, rendered difficult and dangerous, and ' the probability of captoiring the vessels, crews, and cargoes, by rc ' venue cruisers or his Majesty's ships, materially increased." From the evidence which we have received, it appears that, in order to aid the illegal introduction of tobacco into die country, concealed deposits are made at numerous pleas on the coast. which are contrived with much ingenuity to escape olneirvation ; and if the parties succeed in landing the bales, and lodging them in these amendment*, they may afterwards be removed into the interior without much risk of detection. Eighty eaves for deposits of this description appear to have been discovered, and hook-. up since July 1221. The construction of these places of concealment is such as neces sarily leads to the belief of en-operation or connivance existing on the part of the occupiers of the land. We have, !sneerer. much satisfaction in expressing our conviction that no disposition to con tenance these proceedings prevails in any extensive degree, amongst the principal proprietors, who, as we are informed, have in general shown the most commendable zeal in affording assistance to the officers of the Coast (honed in the performance of their duty. The opinion we have expressed of the advantages of keep;ng up the preventive coast guard, of course depends upon the necessity which shall exist for the maintenance of any guard of this descrip tion. We have already stated that the ditties for the protection of which this establishment has been formed, consist almost ex elusively of those on tobacco, and the rate of charge is at present so high in comparison with the value of the article, that we cannot but estrus our doubts of the practicability of continuing to enforce its collection in Ireland without an ex pense to the Crown, disproportioned to the object in view.— The smuggler may, indeed, be compelled to change his mode of proceeding, and we are, in fact, informed he has done so, by avail. mg himself of the west contain( Scotland, as the place to land his tobacco, for the p rpose of clandestinely introducing it afterwards, as ousiion offer*, into Ireland; and we fear that whilst the present high duties continue, either by force or fraud, tobacco will tile. gaily find its way into comiumption. It appears that whilst in England and kotland the quantity of tobacco on which duties have been paid has not considerably dimi nished; in Ireland it is so much reduced as to make it evident, either that smuggling has not even at present been effectually put down, or that the amount of the duty operates materially to prevent consumption. The quarantine service in Ireland, is regulated by orders issued by the Lard Lieutenant in Orrancil ; and in England, by the order at his Majesty in Council. These orders provide only for the per lumina of quarantine in the respective countries; and in con sequence, if a vessel arrive in Ireland from foreign parts. and after performing quarantine, or obtaining an order of exemption, as the ease may be, lands a portion of her cargo, and then proceeds to England to discharge the tenmainder, it is subject a second time to quarantine; in the same manlier, if it arrive in the first instance in England, and proceed to Ireland, swami' performance of guar amine is exacted, affiording another, and a striking instance of the policy which heretofore prevailed, of treating Ireland, as it regards regulations relating to trade, precisely on the footing of a foreign country. It has been represented to us, that there is not at the port of Carlingford, any building convertible to the purpose of a Laurette, or any other means of properly enforcing the quarantine regulations, for vessels trot hating (kat, bills of health ; and that the station is not judiciously chosen for vessels bound to Dublin, or to the ports on the south and west coasts. Among the harbour% in these seas, there is no one which appears to combine so many favourable circumstances for a quarantine sta tion, as Milford Haven, the situation of which renders it equally convenient for the trade resorting to the north-western coast of Ecg land, or to any port of the opposite coast of Ireland. The well known safety of this harbnur, also renders it peculiarly eligible for vessels under detention, and we therefore recommend that it should be appointed as the quarantine station toe all vessels bound to Ire land, without clean bill, of health. We have been informal that the subject of quarantine, is at pre sent under the consideration of the Legislature, and that it is pro bible some alteration in the laws will be made t during the eonti. nuance however of the existing regulations, as much inconvenience has arisen from reanctlng vessels with clean bills of health, to the stations already named, we recommend that the following addi tional stations be appointed, viz.:— Near Gramoil. in the bay of Belfast. Blackrock, in Galway Bay. Cmsshaven, in the harbour of C:.rk. Passage, in the River Suir. And the Harbour of Kingstown. And also that the regulation requiring vessels to proceed to particu lar stations, according to the port to which they are bound, should be rescinded. in order that each vessel may proceed to the nearest quarantine station which wind and weather will permit. Our examination of the Establishments of the Customs in Ire land has brought tinder our notice some points of difference in the Revenue Laws of England and Ireland, to which, with a view to that assimilation of practice which is manifestly so deeiralle, we think it right to call your Lordships' attention. The directions given he your Lordships' Minute of the 4th August last, to prepare for the consideration of Parliament a consolidation of the Laws of the Customs of England, Ireland, and Scotland, will no doubt ulti mately lead to the complete attainment of this object : in the mean time, however, the differences in question require remtsfy. By the 4th section of an Act's the Irish Parliament, 14 and 1.1 Charles 11. e.ll, masters, or other persons having the cominaml vessels, cannot land or discharge goods until they have entered into bond with sureties not to sail until fully cleared by the Collector or Searcher of the port. This regulation does not appear to us fleets. way for the security of the revenue; and as no bond of this descrip tion is required in England, wen:commend its discontinuance, and the repeal of the enactment. By the 22,1 smtion of the Irish Act, 27 Geo. 111. e. 211, no vessel is to be cleared fur foreign parts, until the master and mate have given bond, in a penalty of 200/. rot to smuggle into Ireland. and not to oppose the officers of the Crown is the execution of their duty. A similar bond was a few years since required in England ; we ass, however, informed, that as the :Ova:rages to the revenue were not found equal to the inconveinerax it oceasior.ed to the merchants, the regnlation has been repealed ; and we see no reason why the same course should not be pursued as to Ireland. lily the lath section of the Irish Act, 46 Geo. 111. c. 79, bond is required to be given, that vessels under 20 tons shall not touch at places infected with the plague. As the quarantine regulations 1 1 apply to vessels of all rates of tonnage, there does not appear any sufficient reason for cortinuing this bond. By the 4th section of the it; tin). 111. c. L 7. it is enacted. That when the duties arc advanced on gooi,, be t,'re landing, in Ireland. and when it shall appear on subsection examination that further duties are due, the goods liable to such further duty shall, within seven days, be speckled in a post entry. In England post entries are required to be made immediately on ascertaining the additional duty ; and as the interval allowed in Ireland is nd to be attended with inconvenience. we recommend that the practice in this instance should be made the sanie in the tut) canneries. —............ . ..... .... By the 2ikh section of the seine Act, it is required, when a cargo. or part of a cargo, is reported not to be landed, that a bond he given, with condition that the same shall not tneresfter be brought on shore in Ireland. No such band is required in Eng land, and as it appears sltogethrr unnecessary, we recommend that it should be discontinued. By the :12d section of the same Act. drawbacks and bounties 02 goods exported. are not payable unit! thirty-one days after the tail ing of the Yawls. In Great Britain. b► the Act 1.3 lien. 111. c. ill•.. drawbacks and bounties are payable in.enetlistely ; and it appears to us desiralde, to extend a sindlar bncht to the trade et Ireland. Ily the 7th tec:io:l of the Act 4) Veo. 111. c. att2nJancs it requhrl to be given by the in-door officers of the exstonts. at Me ports of ictland, ferns nine to four o'clock. The attendance of this class of officers in England, b from ten to fear; and as the continuance of a law enforcing a elate application in I eland. ap• pcafi ..t) us to be o!..teetionable. and as at rev be fo•trd adnw tagenus that a diserettorary {tower should be Icit with the Commis• siontas, to regulstc the hours of attendance of their officers as cif( . .mstances rainy renda expedient, we rccn!imend the repea! thtLalsove c!..nse. By the 11th section of the 111th Geo. 111. e. 11G, collectors of the customs are required to send weekly abstracts of their receipts and payments to tholloarti in Dublin, and are prohibited from taking credit tio bills remitted, until the sante are paid. These cruset menu interfere with the complete adoption of the English eystem of account; and as ell regulations of this description tan be pro vided for, and from time to time amended. as circumstances may reeihirc, under the authority of your Lordships or the Board of Cus toms we reomnicnd the repeal of the clause in question. By the :t9:!1 ON.. 111. c. I ZI. the I 'coimisaioners of Customs in laredon, and the 041ot-tors and Comptrollers at the Out.pors, air empowered to allow the reports of cargoes of vessels to be amended in some particular ruts. This regnlation has been found to pre vent delay and inconvenience to the merchant, and should there fore, in our opinion, be extended to freland. By the 41h Geo. IV. c. (IVardiousing Act>. good` ware housed on their first importation, are allowed to be teinoodl under bond, without payment of duties, from one warehousire port to anothsr, for expatiation i and by the same Act it is provieled, that if, upon their arrival, the protirietor is rot prepared to extract them immediately. he stall hare lis..erty to deposit the goods, so re moved, in the warehouses of the port, either for exportation or home coesiorptirio. Under the construction that has been given to this law by the officer; of she Customs, it is the practice in Ireland as well as in Greet Britain, to squire the merchant to woreboust his goods, cc at least to pass whet is called a " wszthousing entry." and to give a bond for the Crown's duties. By this proceeding. the merchant who is willing to pay the full deities of the Crown immediately, is obliged tn incur considerable arid unnecessary ex. pzese, and frequent delays 07C111'. The obvious intention of the Aet in question was to give to the merchants every facility consistent with the due security of the revenue, in regard es well to the warehousing as to the removal of goods under bond ; and as all claims of the revenue appear to be satisfied by furtpaynient of the duties, there dcei not seem to any sufficient reason for the practice of eompergag the merchant I:1 surelson le his goods at the port to frisch mnovcd, and thus delaying the payment of the Crown's duties, when hr is nor desirous of doing so. In our opinion, merchants should be alkivied to remove goods on hood from one warehousing port to ardtler, either ter exportation or hold: caosuniption, under the regulatiens necessary fur securing the re mite ; and in case of their desieng to pay the duties immediately on the allies' of the goods, test they should be permitted to do so, without Xny unnecessary eithtmte. It has alsobeen represented to us.t hat 4s the law now dards,* cargo may be imported from foreign countries to any port in the United Kingdom, not being a warehousing pet, and the duties raid thereon, whilst a similar cargo cannot be removed under bend frosts any wardiousir.g port, and the duties in like manner paid. It splicers to us a desirable exensimi of the warehousing system to permit foreign goods to be removed from a warehousing port to a port which Ilia bbt that privilege, the ditties being paid at dot litter port inot)o.l2ttly on arrival, in the sane manner as if the vessel came direct from abror.d ; and we. in consequence, receon mend it to your Lordships to take measures for that purpose.

Amongst the many party toa.vts which were given at Mr. Sheriff Warren's dinner, die following appeared to await general attention:— " Sir George Dill and the 'Prentic: got, of Derry.'"

Inter Colonel Blacker thus returned thanks : . •• Gentlemen—lt is with great reluctanceTtrespass thus • axiond time upon your patience, but it would be but • bad way to recommend turret( to the approbation of generous minds, were I to appear to have fired away all my ammunition no my own ac count, without reserving • cartridge for a friend.

T lie roaring. Lion was peculiarly at home en tho °era sion but when he endeavoured to do justice to the merit of his relative, he should reflect on tho conduct and character of the persons with whom his name was associated. We will ask the gallant Colonel, who are the 'Prentfor Boys of Derry ? Ile may answer, with the raier of /Hander, that they are the most respectable class of society hers. This we flatly deny. The gentry and merchants of Derry despise party, and deplore its existence as firmly as iu any other part of the Empire, and the Worthy Baronet is un necessarily placed iu company with persons without in fluence in the State, or respect in society. However, the gallant Colonel v..as perfectly right in declaring that bigotry and wrrx,ian hare rrlired, h gird and disenlf!fikd, from the walls tf Derry, as that fart is fdly proved by the harmony that exists between :he Protestants here, and their more numerous fellow-citizens, the Raman Catholics ; and should the fountain of, ustice be occasionally sullied, when the darkness of corrnpticn would hide the monster of op. pression, such activity is used for its re-purification, that its waters issue forth again in their usual purity and free dom.—V.l(T IlecorJer. POTUL•TION OF laer.AND.—Summary from returns of 1821, not yet printed :—lit Leinster there are 1,785,763 inhabitants : Munster, 2,003,363 ; Ulster, 2,001,095; and Connaught, 1,053,913; making in lre land a total of 6,816,948. _ RUNAWAY WIFE.—A large hand-bill Was posted at Mary-la-bonne Office, on Saturday evening, describing the person of a Mrs. Gurnell, who has eloped from her hus band's house at Chelsea, and taken with her 1,0001. A liss 111.11 . 8 I'ARCI:I STOLEN.—Yesterday M0111:11r, at six o'clock, a banker's pante!, directed to the house of Sir P. Pole and Co. W 33 stolen from the coach-office at Maid stone. The person who was entrusted with it left it fee a moment, on the counter of the coach-office, and on return ing he found it had disappeared. An alarm was imme diately given, but we understand not the slightest trace of the thieves was obtained. An express was immediately sent to town, and application was made to Mr. Brown. the City Marshal. 'Measured were promptly taken to stop the payment of the bills and notes, and at about two o'citek `lr. Brown, accompanied by two active officers, went down to Maidstone. 'f lie police have, we undetstand, obta'n,:et intelligence of the track of rome,finnay men, or experiena thieves, in that direction; but the particulars have not transpired. The parcel was from the hank of Edmonds and Co. Maidstone, and consisted of the sum of t r Stelf. 16s. in cash, in different country notes, 4.4671. in draughts', payable at sight, and 7,W2t. 9s. 6il. bills ; in the whole, 13,189/. .51. Gd. But the value of the booty obtained by the thieves will be greatly diminished, by the prowl* measures taken by the police. GL ASGOW WrAcrus.—The experiment made with the new workers at the cotton mill in Mile-end his succeed's! beyond expectation. The new hands already make Taped work, and in a few weeks will be as expert, as the olst spinners. In consequence of the system of intimidation, the +ix new spinners are obliged to carry lowkd pistols, and only . work from day-light till the dusk. Almost ever y night, after leavinc the work, they are followed hone by numbers of evil-disposed people. and they sometimes have to take r.filiy,e in the Calton police-office. Yesterday after. noon, about four o'clock. a crowd, as usual, began to co"- lect about the mill, which increased to at least five hundred before it was dirk. Some designing persona wereobserved lurking about the closes and corners of' the streets, veto were the chief promoters in inciting those arvemlied. to commence a disturbance. The crowd were much more de terminci than on the former occasion, and were b 4 nt on violence and outrage. They cursed Mr. Thomas Connor (who is particularly obnoxious, as he is the uncher of the new hands) and his " nobs" to come out, anti they would do for them. A general attack with stones was then made on the windows. The workers were afraid to venture out, and a messenger was twice despatched for the Calton po lice. As they did not snake their appearance, about w wen o'clock the mechanics of the will escorted the new workers home, by tlt-_tr, res. at considerable personal risk. The de. lay in th e a rrival . cf the police, ('aptain Hamilton says, was owing to his wishing to collect a strong party of Jay and night officers before venturing to encounter such si crowd. When they went out, they found an quiet.—Wass. f;:r hi I
