DISCOVERY OF SEVEN STATUES ON THE MANOR SHORE. The workmen employed by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, haVe this week brought to light some of the most valuable relics of an tiquity found since the ground was excavated. In forming a road in the pleasure grounds, on the scite of the south aisle of the church, they came in contact with the foundation of a wall of immense magnitude. It was no less than ten feet thick, and was wholly composed of the moulded and carved stones, that had at one time formed part of the Abbey. This induced them t o take it up, when it showed clearly that it had been built out of the ruins of the Abbey after its demolition. The stones were then carefully removed; they extended to the depth of six feet, and were principally the tracery of the windows, in nearly as perfect a state as if they were just from the hands of the workmen. Two or three of the magnificent windows of the Abbey may thus be completely restored. Under this solid mass of masonry, which was firmly cemented to gether, were found seven large statues, each five feet nine i nc h es hi g h , They are of a remarkably strong and robust appearance, and are clad in antique drapery. The inner vest of one of them was richly coloured with purple, on g which were sprigs of gold. Th e outer vest appeared to have been covered with gold, and the face was of a flesh colour. The garment of another figure was of crimson and gold. All the figures have been splendidly coloured and gilt, but not much of it is now discernable, being removed by the damp and the cement in which they were imbedded. One of the figures un doubtedly represents Moses; he bears in one hand the tables of stone, and in the other the brazen serpent. The beard of Moses has been richly gilt. Two of the other statues bear books in their hands ; one of them is supposed to re present St. John. Two other figures are with out the heads, which have been searched for, but have not been found. The drapery of one of these figures is remarkably freely and finely cut. They are all barefoot, and five of them have been got out in a very perfect state. They will be a very valuable acquisition to the extensive mu seums of the Society. The most probable sup position is, that they have formed the screen be tween the nave and the choir, as they have been too richly painted and gilt to have been placed in any exterior situation. We understand that the workmen have been discharged this week, as the funds of the Society will not warrant any further expenditure by the Committee, unless further assistance be obtained from the public. We regret sincerely that this is the case, as in all probability many interesting and valuable re lics must thus remain buried in the earth.— York Chronicle. A wild swan, measuring seven feet seven inches from the tip of one wing to that of the other, and five feet in length from its bill to its tail, and weighing seven teen pounds, was shot by the gardener of James Lo.h, Esq., in a field near Jesmond-grove, on Saturday.— Tyne Mercury. SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades has been general, and . on an extensive scale; the request has been chiefly directed to good and fine Sugars, which ure so scarce that the holders have obtained an ad vance of Is. per cwt. The low descriptions are more inquired after, and are now Saleable, which was not the case two weeks ago, but there has been no advance obtained on the ord. brown. At the close of the market the estimated sales this week are 3,000 hhds. and tres.; to-day the purchases are not extensive, on account of the frost stopping the inland trade. In the Refined Market the transac tions have been so extensive that goods are becom ing scarce, and the prices obtained are a shade higher, but no marked advance can be stated. Mo lasses are without alteration. FOREIGN SUGARS.—In Foreign Sugars no trans actions are reported. EAST INDIA SUGARS.—In consequence of the scarcity of coloury West India Sugars, Bengals,. mid. and good qualities, have been in great re , quest. At public sale on Tuesday, 536 bags sold with great briskness—white good 365. a 38s. 6d.; middling 325. bd. a 355. A parcel of Siam Sugar was offered, but met with no buyers. By public sale this forenoon 1,584 bags Bengal Sugar,_ white good 38s. a 3Ss. 6d. ; middling 345. 6d. a 335. .6d. The whole sold with briskness at very high prices. WEST INDIA MOLASSES.--There are no purchases of any extent to report ; the very ord. sell at 228., the good 245. 6d. a 255. COFFEE.--The only parcel of Coffee of any con sideration brought forward early in this week was 600 bags very good ord. Ceylon, which sold with great briskness at 365., which may be stated to be 2s. per cwt. higher, and such was the avidity with which the whole was taken, that three times the extent might easily have been sold at the same rate. The remainder of the Coffee consisted of small parcels of Jamaica, Dominica, Demerara, and Berbice, which all sold, and with briskness, at prices ls. a 3s. higher. There were no public sales this forenoon. By private contract, some good ordinary St. Domingo has been bought at 375. and 375. 6d.; but the holders now ask 395. RUMPRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.--A Government contract for Rum is immediately expected in the Market. There are no purchases of spirits to any extent, the prices remain nearly nominal. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The demand for Tallow has been brisk and extensive early in the week, but we think the request was not so general during yesterday and this forenoon, the prices are in consequence a shade lower. There is little variation in Hemp or Flax. The letters from St. Petersburgh are dated 3d inst. Exchange 11d : 1-32. COTTON.—The Cotton Market continues dull. The sales for the week, ending last night inclusive, are limited, they are 200 Surats, at 31d. a 4d.; 300 ditto, by public sale, at 3id. a 4id.; 600 Pernams, at ?id.; 90 Bovveds at W.; and 150 Carthagena, by public sale, at 40. a 4id. INDIGo.—The East India House sale of 5,740 chests Indigo commenced on Tuesday last; it has gone off irregularly, brisk and dull alternate days ; the fine at last sale prices, the other descriptions chiefly at 3d. and 4d advance on the last sale. At the close of this day 3,014 chests have passed the sale, and the prices of the first day have been fully supported, say from last sale's prices to 4d. advance, and in some instances 6d.; whilst Madras sold with out spirit at from last sale's prices to 6d. discount, and in some instances 9d. The quantity bought in by the proprietors is about 200 Bengal, 100 Madras. TOBACCO.—There has been a general and exten sive demand for Tobacco; the quantity of Strips which has changed hands is about 600 hhds., chiefly at 6d. and 6d.; about 100 Mids.. leafy Tobacco have also been sold. • FRUIT.—The demand had rather improved, but the present hard weather has rather checked it, in consequence of the conveyance by the canals having been stopped. A large parcel of new red Smyrna Raisins has been taken off for shipping at 425., and some as low as 415.; and there are more orders still remaining on hand, but the holders now Nvill not sell under 435. A parcel of fine new Zante Currants has been taken off by the trade at 875.; in other sorts there is no alteration.—By public sale this forenoon, 69 butts old Currants sold at 84s. a 88s.

Ruthven is made to state—'t lam a Police Officer ; I was employed to accompany Mrs. Scott somewhere; that was in the early part of last year; the defendant's coachman sent for me to go to Mr. Wellesley's; I saw Mrs. Scott and Mr. Powell ; there was a third person, but I don't recollect whom; Mr. Powell directed me to . go with Mrs. Scott to her husband's; I went with her; Mr. P. told me she was going to her husband's to get some letters; that her husband was a passionate man, and she was afraid he would kill her; I saw some money pass from the plaintiff to Mrs. Scott, on her representation she could not get the letters without money; Mr. P. directed me to pay the coach-hire; I stopped outside the door while she went into her husband's, and she afterwards said she had got the letters; I saw Mr. Powell again that evening, in Baker-street; Mr. Powell paid me for my services ; I was employed on many other occasions. This is a very fair sample of the way in which all ;Artists are e.v.ecuted in England. Mr. Ruthven is a police officer, no doubt very in adequately paid, and therefore under the necessity of helping himself to other means of subsistence than t hose derived from the public as well as he can. A police officer very naturally considers the public as an abstraction, and knows only individuals. Again, of the individuals he knows he considers those only as having a title to his services who can pay for them. Indeed no man can suffer injustice in this country who has not money to pay for obtaining re dress ; and a Bow-street officer knows as well as a lawyer how to deal with those who sue in forma paaperis. So completely is the officer's plan a sine cure, that there is not an old Dowager in London who cannot, when she pleases, have one at her command to stand at her door along with the tall footman, or to perform any piece of mummery. The employment of Ruthven in the above case had just as much to do with the Police, or with the public security, as it had to do with the business of the man in the Moon; but he would have been a fool if he had not accepted of a business for which he was, no doubt, well paid. But this is not confined to Police matters. The whole system of England hinges on the activity of individuals. That very activity immediately con verts every thing public into a private job; for the public being an abstraction, except some individual of that public has a❑ interest opposed to the par ticular job, it may be safely entered on. Thus, of all money left in trust in England, in nineteen out of twenty cases, the object of the trust has soon been defeated by a job. Self-interest is ever on the watch to grasp at occasions of advantage. The voluminous Reports on Charters are in that respect a most in structive chapter in the history of human nature, as modified by English notions. If the Bow-street officers, as at present constituted, were to receive 1,0001. a year a piece, they would only be the less serviceable; for, being such great men, they would conceive themselves entitled to a still higher fee to put them in activity, it never entering into the head of any man that he ought not to take as much money as he can get, and, as a consequence, that he ought not to prefer taking a large sum from one man to a small sum from another. So completely is it understood that each man must take care of himself in this country, and that public money is merely taken for the exclusive be nefit of the individuals who receive it, that when the inhabitants of a parish in the neighbourhood of the metropolis complained, some months ago, to the head Police-office, they were asked why they did not associate to protect themselves ? The system works, on the whole, better than strangers might suppose. Property supplies the means of defend ing itself. A rich man has servants, dogs, and guns. His servants sometimes rob him, no doubt, and would oftener do so, but from the distrust of each other; for where three or four confederate for crime, as each knows that he is in the power of the rest, lie is prompted, through fear of being informed against, to inform. Those who have little property are on that account less the object of attempts to plunder. It is with Law as with Police. There is no sen sible man at this day who ►will not admit that a man had better at once consent to lose his estate than go into the Court of Chancery for it. A man is safe in England, merely because no one feels disposed to harrass him. But if he have the misfortune to en counter litigious people, possessed of the means of harrassing him, he is entirely at their mercy. Mr. Peel has been writing to the City of London to allow the warrants of Country Magistrates to be executed in the City. We do not mean to say that this would not be an improvement. But we fear that improvements of such a nature are all that we may expect from our Home Secretary. We have our doubts whether the Right Hon. Gentleman have even a conception of the real object of a Police. It is pretty obvious, at all events, that we have no Police at present. A Police supposes organization —it supposes a head, and a body under the direction of that head—it supposes co-operation, and the means of acting with effect throughout the whole country. When a Banker employs a Police Officer to run after a forger or swindler, or country gentle man employs one to aid him in discovering the au thor of a robbery, this is nothing more than might be done without any establishment whatever.— Twenty or thirty active men could always find some House of Call to which applications might be made for their aid. Vidocq tells us, " Up to the moment of my quitt ing office, the Police of Safety, the only requisite Police, and which should have received the greater portion of the funds allowed by the Budget, because it is on it principally that reliance has been placed— the Police of Safety, I say, has never employed more than thirty men, nor cost more than 50,000 francs per annum, from which five were allotted to me." " It was with a troop so small as this," he says fur ther, " that I had to watch over more than 1,200 pardoned convicts, freed some from public prisons, others from solitary confinement ; to put in exe cution annually from four to five hundred war rants as well from the Prefects as the Judicial authori ties; to procure information, to undertake searches and obtain particulars of every description; to make nightly rounds so perpetual and arduous during the winter season; to assist the Commissaries of Police in their searches, or in the execution of search warrants; to explore the various rendezvous in every part ; to go to the Theatres, the Boulevards, the Barriers, and all other public places, the haunts of thieves and pick-pockets. • My agents had almost the talent of übiquity, and I, to keep alive the spirit of emulation and zeal among them, incited them by unremitting exertions. In no expedition, however perilous, did I spare myself Such have been at the utmost the effective force and the expence of the Brigade de Surete ; with so small a number of auxiliaries, and means so limited, I have maintained security in the bosom of a capital peopled by nearly a million of inhabitants. I have broken up all the associations of male factors," &c. Thus it seems that the expence of one of our numerous Police officers exceeds that of all the Police of Paris. One single banker will pay a single Police officer for a job nearly as much ns the whole Police of Paris costs, who receive nothing from individuals.—Morning Chronicle. Sir,—l am too jealous of any little favour I may have found before the people of Ireland, not to feel anxious to reply to the observations you are reported to have made in the Association, (on occasion of Mr. O'Connell's resolution relative to the English Catholics) upon my absence from England ; and as you infer, upon the apathy which it evinces in re gard to the great question of the re-establishment of the political rights of the Catholics of the British Empire. impressed with such a sense of the importance of the struggle, as to overpower the soul with anxiety for the result,—so harrassed with vexation at the outrages daily offered to our religion, as almost to subdue the pride which I feel in its profession, each day of my existence embittered by reflection on the wrongs of Ireland—l feel it a peculiar injustice to be taunted with indifference in the glorious cause of civil and religious liberty for which you are so nobly contending. Sir, the very circumstance upon which you ground your observations arises in great mea sure from the intensity of my feelings under the calumnious accusations of the Taligners of our principles, and under the crying injustice of those to whose bigotry and selfishness we are the daily and long-standing victims. At tached to my country by a variety of ties, I should loug have hesitat©d to leave it, even for a season, had I found myself on an equality with others of my OW/4 station ; but the constant humiliations--many real, and perhaps some imaginary—to which our abject situation naturally exposes us, besides being very little suited to the thing, were of themselves sufficient to drive me from the walks of public life. Under our manifold grievances, the retirement of the country was my only consolation, together with the occasional opportunities which a residence in England might afford of lending my feeble aid to the united efforts of a whole people for the restoration of the rights, and of sometimes vindicating our common religion from the foul aspersions with which it is disfigured by our enemies. But circum stances of a domestic nature not permitting me to persevere in this determination, I had no alterna tive but to sacrifice the scanty benefits which the good cause might chance to derive from my services, and for a time to retire abroad ; though even here, lam happy to say, I find occasion to exercise the small means I possess, in endeavouring to rescue our fame from the atrocious calumnies of our ad versaries. Lord Bexley's letter to the freeholders of Kent has disseminated aspersions which appear to me to merit a reply, and that reply could hardly be given with effect but from hence. It occupies me at pre sent, and will, I hope, be taken as an earnest that absence has not weakened my attachment to our cause, or lessened the sense of our common wrongs. I am fully convinced that I should be guilty of a most unpardonable presumption were Ito fancy for a moment that I were entitled to the importance which you appear, in your reflections upon my re tirement, to attach to my poor and undeserving efforts. It is not in this spirit that I have undertaken to jus tify my conduct : but, because I revere my religion, and am mortified at the taunts of her enemies—be cause I cherish truth, and detest calumny—because I love justice, and hate tyranny; so am I anxious not to be condemned as wearied with the contest, but rather to be deemed worthy still to bear my shield, and hold my place in the ranks of honourable war fare against the cruel destiny which oppresses us. Permit me to tuke this opportunity of saying, that I have seen with infinite sorrow the mention of what are miscalled securities. The very name is a sign of our dishonour; and I have never heard of any which were not unconstitutional, or mischievous, or both. The principles of a pure religion, the honour of true patriots, the affection of good subjects to wards a just and impartial government,—these are the securities we tender—these only does it comport with our dignity to offer; and such I am sure are the sentiments of the Catholics of England. If, however, there be arrangements,comparati vely harm less and inoffensive, which, in a spirit of justice and conciliation, are considered necessary for the satis faction of tender consciences and groundless fears, and as an offering calculated to appease the dying spirit of bigotry and fanaticism, these even we should deem rather as evils that we ought to endea vour to avert, than as a boon that it becomes us to solicit. A total and unqualified restoration to our rights is our just and natural inheritance. This only can ever make amends for the wrongs we have en dured : against any thing short of this we should never cease to protest. _ Allow me, Sir, to express my deep sense of the eternal obligation you have .conferred upon your country. Your efforts have been signal and unceas ing—your success has been commensurate with them, while your chivalrous heroism on Penenden heath has engraven your name with honour in the brightest pages of history. I beg leave to enclose my small annual subscrip tion of 101. to the Association of Ireland, and I have the honour to be, Sir, with the highest respect, your most obedient servant, SEIREWSBURY, WATERFORD, and WEXFORD. Richard Sheil, Esq. Richard Peake, Esq., who died lately at a geod old age, at Boulogne, where he resided with his sis ter, Mrs. Watkins, widow of Jeremiah Watkins, Esq., the eminent optician and mathematioal-instrument-maker, at Charing-cross, was, upwards of forty years Treasurer of Drury-lane Theatre, to which office he succeeded on the retirement of Mr. Westley. Mr. Sheridan was Peake's early patron and friend, and Peake did ample justice to the selection, by a life of devotion to the interests and for tunes of that distinguished individual. Mr. Peake lived in Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, during the greatest portion of the time he superintended the finances of Drury lane Theatre, and at his house Sheridan found an asylum in every moment of personal danger (and they were nu merous), especially after he retired from Parliament. Sheridan and his friends were constant guests at the hos pitable but frugal table of his treasurer. The writer of this little notice has frequently been present, when Sheri dan, forgetting his cares and his embarrassments, has kept the conv►vial table in a roar for hours together, by his sallies of wit and humour. Peake married early Miss Downes, daughter of the well-known undertaker of Piccadilly, by whout be had several children, and all those that survive are in comfortable circumstances, either through the influence of their excellent parent, or by the exertion of their own talent. The eldest son, Riehard Brinsley Peake, to whom Sheridan stood god-father, Secretary and Treasurer of Mr. Arnold, of the Lyceum, is the author of many successful dramas, especially The One Hundred Pound Note, and Comfortable Lodgings.--Peake was succeeded in his office by the present highly respectable treasurer, who had long been connected with the establish ment, and is well-known in the world by the name of honest Billy Dunn. SCOTCH MURDERS.—We have received the following article from a valued correspondent at Edin burgh, who, is a private communication brwhichit is ac- companied, says---" What think you of the march of in tellect now ? What with being Burke(' on this aide of the Tweed,' and Stephensoned on the other, we must surely he very near the climax of intellectuality. In the mean time it fully proves the truth of this axiom, that to be virtuous requires an effort ; for our nature, if inert or un assisted, will slide towards depravity. The mind of mortals in perverseness strong, Imbibes with dire docility the wrong.''' Edinburgh, Jan. 14. Nrighton Gazette. It is the object of this despatch to convey to your Excellency the strong sense which, in com mon with all my colleagues in office I entertain of the obligations imposed upon his Majesty's Government, by this solemn and reiterated en gagement ; and I call upon your Excellency as siduously to employ your endeavours to convey the like impression to the Legislative Council and House of Assembly of Dominica. The specific measures of improvement which appeared most urgent should be adopted, for ameliorating the condition of the slave popula tion, have been already brought under the notice of the several colonial legislatures in so pointed a manner, by the despatches of my predecessors in this office, that it might appear a needless work if I again recommended each of them separately to your particular attention ; and it might seem even to imply my entertaining an opinion, either that the colonial legislatures had at no time been sufficiently alive to the importance . of these specific measures, or that there existed in the colonies so rooted an indisposition to the introduction of some of them, that no pro gress had been made towards their adoption. It is my anxious desire, however, to admit no such unfavourable opinion of the disposition' ex isting in the colonies, and I shall therefore con fine myself in a great measure at present, to calling back your attention to the reso:ntions of Parliament, adverting incidentally only to their specific application by particular cnactmenis. And I adopt this course the more willingly, be cause I think it possible that the protracted dis cussions which have occurred upon this import ant question may have generated an opposition, the result rather of diversity of opinion upon par ticular points than arising from any want of com mon assent to the principles laid down in the re solutions of the two Houses of Parliament, which must form the basis of all wise legislation on the subject, and which reason and humanity equally recommend. There are two objects, for the attainment of which it is necessary that effectual provision should be made. The first of them is, the gra ' dual elevation of the moral character of the slave population ; and the second is, the due protection of all the just rights of property, which existing laws have vested in the owners of slaves. I am perfectly aware that there may be found many very respectable persons in whose minds the force of prejudice, or the influence of habit, and perhaps also a too restrictive view of their own individual interests, may have established a conviction, that the objects above mentioned are wholly incompatible ; rind that a choice must at once be made between the positive sacrifice of the right of property - on the one hand, or a po sitive denial on the other, of the advantages which humanity has sought to obtain for the slaves. The steps, however, which have been already taken in several of the colonies, and the pro ()Tess which has been so happily made in some of them, towards the amelioration of the condi tion of the slaves, induce me to conclude that the extreme opinions which I have above advert ed to are not very generally entertained, and lead me, at the same time, to form the expectation, —I trust not too sanguine a one,—that the example of those :colonies which have advanced the farthest, without any detriment having result ed from their liberal lines of policy, will persuade others that it is possible to imitate without risk their laudable proceedings. But although I am disposed to believe, that motives of sound and enlightened policy, as well a s those of a more sacre and more elevated character, will induce gentlemen holding the station of members of the local legislatures, as well as other individuals possessed of influence in the colonies, to lend a favourable ear to the repeated appeals which have been made to their judgment and to their feelings upon this most important and interesting subject, it would be improper, however, to omit stating, that there are also other calls upon them, which render every day more and more urgent, as a matter of necessary policy, the ameliorating the condition of the slave population. For it can scarcely be doubted, that of the two alternatives, that of withholding amelioration, and that of effectually improving . the condition and character of slaves, the latter is one which holds out by far the best prospect, under the existing circumstances of the world, for general tranquillity, and for the security of property in the colonies. Although it be my intention, as I have already stated to your Excellency, not to enter into a detailed view of each of the individual measures which have been already so often and so urgently pressed upon the attention of the Colonial Le gislatures by my predecessors, I must advert pointedly, however, to a few, which I deem to be of peculiar importance. The first of these is the religious instruction of the slaves. It must be obvious to every man capable of reflection, that, independently of the sacredness of the obligation which requires that no impedi ments should be placed in the way of their ac quiring a knowledge of the great truths of reli gion, there is no more certain mode of advancing their civilization without detriment or danger to society at large, than by religious instruction. It is necessary, however ; that this important ob i,ct should not be intrusted solely to individuals, that provision should likewise be made for it by law, in order to guard against the injury which society would sustain, by the want in any one of a just sense of its importance. Amongst ,the enactments which will suggest themselves upon this subject, there is none which appears more proper, more becoming in itself, or which it is more incumbent upon the legislatures of every Christian country to enforce, than the - clue observance of Sunday. It is most desirable, therefore, that Sunday should be, to the slave population in alr the colonies, 'a day of entire re.
