letter may be palliated,„ tp a certain extent at least, on the score of private acquaintance, - and on that of a wish to see how itailigiat act , .as .a feeler among the Catholic body ; _whils o the Mar quis's, at least . to Our . conception, stands Wholly inexcusableari act of Wilful indiscretion, to call it no worse, quite without , at parallel. We quar rel with no man—least of all with men in public stations—for an honest avowal of their public opinions ; there is too much of hypocrisy and truckling in the world,' not to render candour and opennessdesirable ; but that which is right, in its right place, may become diametrically op posite when out of place. That Lord.Anglesea s views upon the Catholic question should be known is highly desirable. A Viceroy of Ireland, tongue-tied and silent upon public affairs, would be an automaton, such as no high-minded honourable man,- like Lord Anglesea,, would consent to become ; but surely the King's repre sentative in Ireland might find some more pi oper channel, through which to speak his mind upon the Catholic question, than a Catholic Priest (Prelate we ought to have said), and that one who had just shown such a remarkable instance of holding no faith with heretics by the publica tion of the Duke of Wellington's private letter to him, and for which he now gives the world this shallow excuse, that, the Duke's autograph having been seen at the Post-office, the world had of necessity a right to know what the letter contained. No—such a man, however high and respectable his station, was not a proper cor respondent for the King's. representative, as such. If Lord Anglesea feels—as we have no doubt he honestly feels—the conviction set forth in his letter, the Government at home was the. channel through which he should have made it known, and his place in Parliament that wherein he should have enlarged upon it. We want no Letter or stronger confirmation of the view we take of the Marquis's letter, than the rapture with which it is received by the Leaders of the Association ; and the Marquis may take our word for it that that which Mr. O'Connell pro poses shall be framed and glazed, and hung up in the Corn Exchange Parliament, ought never to have been written. This is to be " damned to fame" in a way from which the Marquis's better judgment must, we should imagine by this time, recoil. But there is another reason, upon the face of the letter itself, why it ought not to have been addressed to the person who has received it. The Marquis tells Dr. Curtis that " he (the Marquis) did not know the precise sentiments of the Duke of Welling-ton upon the present state of the Catholic question." Surely then it behoved his Lordship to commu nicate with the Duke first, and not with a Ca tholic Bishop. The Marquis had some reason to complain that the Duke had chosen the Doc tor for his correspondent ; and the Duke of the Marquis, that the latter should for once have followed so questionable an example. The very avowal that the head of the King's Government in Ireland is not in the confidence of the Go vernment at home, is an avowal which should not have been made till the more obvious means had been tried of obtaining that knowledge. As letting them into a little of the arcane of Government, the hunters after State secrets, as well, perhaps, as the public in general, will not be a little obliged to the Marquis of Anglesea. On the other hand, if his Lordship wished to !show the world the utter inutility of his office, ,arid the ease, if not the advantage to the coun try, with which it could be spared, he has effec tually done so, in showing that it is looked upon, even in his person, as one of Yr:ere State pageantry, to which State confidence on a most vital question is not confided.—Morn. Herald. It does not, appear to be yet settled whether the Marquis of Anglesea was recalled from the Government of Ireland, or whether he volun tarily resigned it—whether the letter of the Duke of Wellington to Dr. Curtis was felt by the Noble Marquis as an insult, and caused his re signation, or whether the letter of the latter, commenting on that of the Duke of Wellington, occasioned his recall ; and we have no means of solving the difficulty ; but we believe that every reliance may be placed on the statement which we gave yesterday, respecting a Messenger with the Marquis of • Anglesea's resignation, and an other, the bearer of his recall, having passed one another on the road between Holyhead and the metropolis ; and if such be the fact, it follows as a matter of course that the blame of the vacancy which has occurred is pretty fairly portioned out between them. The question, however, either of the recall or the resignation, is one of altogether minor importance, when compared with the still greater question of what shall be done with Ireland. And here, while we readily agree with the Marquis of Anglesea, that the important question of Catholic Eman cipation cannot be too speedily settled, we must also express our concurrence in the sentiments of the Duke of Wellington, that there is no possibility of settling it while the opponents and advocates of the mea sure continue to persecute, to harass, and to belabour one another, with such extreme vio lence as they have lately exhibited. A measure Alf so great importance as that of the admission of Roman Catholics to a full share in the rights and privileges of the British Constitution, cannot be satisfactorily settled by men whose minds are governed by passion—who view the conduct of their opponents through a distorted medium, and instead of making allowances for the prejudices and feelings of one another, are only anxious to hunt down every one who may have the hardihood to dissent from them in the .6ig,litest particular. On this subject the opinions of the Marquis of Anglesea and the Duke of Wellington are much less at variance with one another than might at first sight be imagined ; and, as is observed by an Evening cotemporary, while both blame the violence both of Catholics and of Brunswickers, they agree in the main question of the great benefit which would result from a settlement of the question at issue, and only differ as to the time. The Duke says, and we think says truly, that it cannot be sates • factorily settled, while such heats and animosities continue between the opposing parties, and that if these could be buried for a time in oblivion, something of a permanent nature might be done the Marquis, on the other hand, considers the question of such infinite and overwhelming im portance, that no time ought to be lost in settling it, whatever amount of opposition the Duke might have to encounter, and that any , attempt to bury it in oblivion would be taken advantage of by the enemies of Emanci pation, and used as an argument that it ought never to be granted. l3oth, in fact, are in favour of Emancipation ; and if the Marquis of Angle sea has resigned on account of the sentiments contained in the Duke's letter, his resignation, we think, can scarcely be freed from the charge of rashness. It was not certainly very respeetTul on the part of his Grace to lay his sentients on the Catholic Question before in- stead of before the Viceroy of Ireland ; but _tin less the Duke has lately changed his sentiments, it fieeame" the Marquis, fully as much as the former, to know what those sentiments were be- I fore he undertook the Government of Ireland.— Morning. Advertiser. The faction with which the Marquis of An glesea has allied himself take some pains to show that his 'letter _to Dr. Curtis was not and could not have been she cause of his dismissal from office ; and the 'gist of their - argument is that their, noble confederate had long previously ac quired even stronger claims than the letter affords to their gratitude and applause, had al , ready in other. instances roanifeStecl a resolute disregard to his duty 'as a representative of the King, had before counteracted and defied the legitimate authorities-under.which he was bound to act, had boldly, and without disguise, ex hibited himself as factious ..; partisan--- ; and had prostituted the dignities and ho ; nours bestowed upon him for the lawfid and honourable purposes of regular govern ment, to shed lustre upon a cabal, and to stimulate the efforts and promote the pur poses of Demagogues and Agitators. Nor can sse deny that the faction argue well, if they state the facts correctly. But we are still willing, in mercy to the Marquis of Anglesea, to hope that • this will turn out otherwise, and that the facts alleged againsfhim by his new friends may prove to have no otherloundaiion than their. natural desire to parade and proclaim, in the face of. the ' country, the Marquis of Anglesea as their ally ; and not merely as an ;ally distinguished by his . former character, his hereditary rank, and his elevated office, but distinguished still more in their estimation as the possessor of qualities congenial to the party and the cause he has espoused, and admirably adapted to all their purposes. We hope, in mercy to the Mar quis of Anglesea, that his new friends assert a falsehood when they accuse him of having some months ago hesitated or refused to obey the orders of the British Government in striking from the Commission of the Peace an Irish agitating_ Magistrate. And it is in mercy also to the Noble Marquis, that we are reluc tant to yield implicit credit ,to another accusa tion levelled against him by his new allies, which imports that the Nobleman who was received with the most marked distinction at the Vice regal Court, was one of the few Irish Noble mens, who degrade themselves by mingling in the foul and pestiferous orgies of the Asso ciation. Sunk as the Marquis of Anglesea now is, we feel difficulty in believing that he has been sunk so long or so low as his new friends _endeavour to persuade us. But if there be any truth in their allegations, they certainly establish Their point, that the recall of the Noble Marquis from Ireland • must for some time have been determined 'on, and that the letter to Dr. Curtis was not required to complete the evidence of his unfitness for the high and im portant trust confided to him in that country.— We incline, however, to the opinion, that the numerous indiscretions into which the Noble Marquis had unquestionably fallen previous to . the capital indiscretion of his agitating letter, were still viewed b‘ the Administration as errors which tl;ey might for a time overlook, and he, by a more scrupulous and dutiful ( .)! ss i ts s te to his instructions for the future, might possibly be enabied to repair, and that the letter was the finishing stroke which utterly and for ever de stroyed the ecrifide: ce of his Majesty's Govern meet 'in the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, which precious occurrences had alreaey sensibly diminished. The Marquis's letter to Dr. Curtis is dated on the 23d ; thdt announcing his reml is said to be dated on the the 28th of December, and it is plausibly argued that five days are too short an interval in this case setween the supposed cause and its effect. This argument is however inconclusive. A copy of the letter, whether communicated by the Marquis of Anglesea, as some assert, or by any other means, would be in London two days after its date. The letter is of such a nature as to admit of no hesitation to the proper course to be pursued in the mind of any member of the Government. And the Ministry of the Duke of Wellington is not more distinguished for the caution with which it decides than the prompti tude and vigour with which it carries its decisions into effect. The advocates of the Marquis say indeed that his letter to the Popish Primate was no. sufficient cause for his dismissal from office, and urge in sup port of this opinion, that the Duke of 'Wellington also wrote a letter to the same Ecclesiastic. They further say, that the expression of an opinion favourable to the Catholic Claims is no sufficient cause of dismissal, and refer to the example of Mr. Dawson, who strongly expressed such an opinion, and was not dismissed ; and to sum up their argument they say that the dismissal of the Marquis of Anglesea on account of this letter is equivalent to a declaration that the Administra tion no longer consider the question as an open , one. A very few words will suffice to shew that this reasoning is absurd and inapplicable. The Duke of Wellington replied to a private letter, as a private individual, and his confidence was abueed, The Marquis of Anglesea, in his charac ter of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, addressed the Popish Primate of Ireland as a public func tionary. This is one offence, in vindication of which the example of the Duke of Wellington ' cannot be pleaded. He sanctioned the breach of confidence which the Popish Primate had committed, This is another. He intended his letter as a general address to the Papists of Ire land, as a sort of Government Proclamation in disguise. This is a third. He urged them to' MARLBOROUGH-STREET. a course opposite to that which he knew it Six persons, whose appearance aptly.corresponded would be the wish of the King's Government with their calling, were yesterday brought before that they should pursue.

GUILDHALL. Charles White, a horse dealer, was brought up for re-examination yesterday, before Aldermen CROWDER and VENAnt.Es, upon various diaries of fraud. , W. Moody, of Acre-lane, Clapham, stated that his wife was a laundress, and he assisted her. He had occasion for some money, and having two horses I he took one of them to Kingston-fair for sale, and soon found a purchaser ; but *bad not sufficient . cash in his pocket, and desired that the horse, or rather the black mare, should be brought to the Elephant ' and Castle door -mesa morning, where the business ' should be settled.. Witness suspecting some mis chief, instead of sending the mare sent a messenger to leave word at the bar that the mare was at Clapham, and if the gentleman did not come for her with the money,. by two o'clock, the bargain should be void.. ..On the following Sunday the pri soner and a !pan named Simpson called upon him, and said they understood he had a mare to sell:. He ' told them that he had, but he would not bargain with them on the Lord's Day, arid they Went away. On the following Tuesday they returned, and they struck a bargain at 131. Simpson said he was going to the Bank to receive some money, and if witness would call at his house in Union-row, New Kent road, in the evening, bringing the mare with him, he should receive the price agreed upon. Witness accordingly rode there, and upon alighting a boy was sent out to hold the animal, while he was politely handed into the parlour and invited to drink some gin. While he was waiting, expecting every moment to see the money produced, and listening to a gene rid conversation, he heard the boy and the black mare had disappeared. White went out to look after them, and SiMPson made some excuse for de laying payment till Friday, upon which day witness went again, but getting no satisfaction, and learning he had fallen into the bands of some swindlers, he , complained at Union-hall, and obtained the assist ance of Myers, a constable, who took a great deal of pains to apprehend the parties, but without success. White, in his defence, alleged that he had no share in this transaction, and the witness admitted, indeed, that he considered Simpson the buyer. Joseph Alexander, of No. .5, Little Frederick place, Southwark-bridge-road, said, that in October, 1827, he took a horse to Smithfield, for sale, and was introduced by some person to the prisoner, who was in a public-house in Charter-house-lane, and was represented to be an extensive grazier. White agreed to give 18/. for the horse, saddle, and bridle, arid said he was going to receive some money from his salesman, arid would pay the amount, if witness would bring the horse to his house, in Charles-street, Northampton-square, in the evening. He went there, and the horse was taken charge of by a lad, who came out of,the house, and who was directed to take it round the corner to the stable. After this had been done, White told witness he had been dis appointed respecting the money, his salesman hav ing left the market before he looked for him. To satisfy him, however, he would give him his pro missory note, merely to hold till the next marker day, when the 18/, should be paid. The horse having been led away, witness thought he had better take the bill than nothing, and he became alarmed when he looked in vain for the stable just round the corner, which he had heard of. When he called again on the following market-day, he was told White had gone to Bristol fair, and he had not been able to meet with him since, or get value for the bill or the horse. He bargained for ready money, and would not have taken the bill if he could have pos sesfrd himself of the horse again. - White admitted he " owed' the complainant the value of this horse, and he meant to pay him when it . was in hi• pc. er. Rictairti Lamborne, formerly a farmer in Oxford shire, but now lodging in Short's-gardens, hwy., lane, said, that in November, 1826, being in some distress, he sent some cattle to hi. bother Christo pher in London, to be sold, and in a few days re ceived a letter from him, announcing that he had disposed of three co ,s and two Calves to the pri sOner, who then appeared to be a seedsman in C utclied-fi jars ; that u, on driving them there, he w ,s invited into the house, as if to receive payment, when White asked him for she difference of a draught f, , r 801., the price of the cat;le being 44/. Christopher attain ted he was unable to give him the difference; and the cows having been driven anti ay while he was amused within doors, he Urns obliged to agree to give him a few days' credit. White told him to bring two more cows on an early day, and then he should be paid for all ; but when the time fixed arrived, he found White had disappeared altogether. Witness's distress increased through the above and other such losses, awl he became an inmate in Whitecross, street-gaol, where he one day met with White, who came in to see an acquaintance. He affected to be, greatly concerned to find him th ere , an d p rom i se d to get him, out that day, but he saw no more of him till the expiration of seven or eight weeks, when he came in as a prisoner. As fellow-prisoners they were sometimes on good terms—sometimes on bad ; and when witness heard 'White was about to obtain his liberty, he advised with Mr. Spencer about lodging a detainer. The governor, hoiPever, said, that while White remained in gaol, it would be out of his power to pay him, whereas if be were li berated he might rob somebody else to pay witness. In consequence the detainer was not lodged, and White, on leaving the prison, pretending a great. deal of commiseration, protested he would rob thirty people rather than lack the means to liberate hiS friend, the farmer. Witness, however, begged him not to carry this threat into execution for his sake ; and he heard no more of him til,l he learnt that he was in custody at this office. The prisoner admitted he was also this com plainant's debtor. The ALDERMEN consulted upon these charges, and determined to commit for stealing in the first two cases, and if the evidence of Lawborne's brother should corroborate the statement they had heard this day, then the prisoner should be committed OR this also, and this case having occurred in the city, the City Solicitor should prosecute to prevent the recurrence of such transactions therein. After a great deal of inquiry into the charges previously ►wade, of defrauding a farmer at Highgate of three cows, and a poor widow at Newington Butts of 17 pigs, the prisoner was remanded for further examina tion on the follo►ving day. Arbong other charges, it was stated that the prisoner had defrauded a master dus!man, who was courting his daughter, of 3.1. Castle public-house, Spitalfiplds, and Watson further charged on suspicion of 'having feloniously returned from transportation, were finally examined befi Mr. BROUGHTON. It appeared that on Saturday forenoon, the pri soner Collins left a parcel at the bar of the public. house, stating that it contained 204 worth of pro perty, which she was about to send to a gentleman at Van-Dieman's Land. She went away, and after wards returned with, inother " valuable " parcel and her fellow-prisoner, ,and they partook of a luncheon (of bread and cheese, brandy, &c. Dinner succeed ed, and Mrs. Collins and her " brother," as she called her companion, passed the afternoon hours in an agreeable tete;a-iete,ln the, course of which they shared five shillings'•worth of wine, five glasses of brandy and water, and in due time an order was given for tea. Tea was accordingly. made, and by way of tonic each cup was strengthened by a glass of brandy. Their bill now amounted to 14s. 9d., and the landlord intimated his wish fora settlement of the reckoning, but the:parties had no money, and Mr. Hopgood, a respeetable tradesman, of whom the female had spoken very familiarly, was sent to. He accordingly attended, and said the man was a stranger to him, but he recognized Mrs.• Collins as a worthless person whose former paramour had been transported for life, and he advised the landlord to send both the prisoners to the watch-house. The advice was followed, but the lady, as she was led from the house, demolished all the glass within her reach. The 20/. parcel, on being opened, was found to consist only of old newspapers not worth so many pence, and the other parcel contained some cotton articles of no value. A conversation had been overheard bet Ween the prisoners while in separate cells at the watch-house, in which the female said, " Henry, Mr. Hopgood don't know you're in England :" and on referring to the Hue and C,y, it was found that a convict, named Watson, whose description corresponded with that of the prisoner at the bar, was found to have escaped from Botany Bay in 1827. He was therefore remanded on suspicion of being the escaped convict. Yesterday, however, some of his relatives, who appeared to be respectable persons, proved, to the satisfaction of the Magistrate, that lie had never been so situated; and his brother having defrayed the landlord's charges for eatables, drinkables, and about 7s. Oil, for the glass broken by Collins, both the prisoners were discharged out of custody. TYPOGRAPHY IN FRANCE. (From the Constitutionneo Good specimen's of the Typographie Art are not wanting in France. We have nothing to envy rival nations in that respect. Our success i►► the art which gives perpetuity to thought is not less than our success in literature. Before the chefs d'ceuvrc of Pierre Didot, which stood unequalled, the Royal Printing of France was distinguished all over Europe by the neatness and elegance of its types, and the merit of its execution. It m►►st not be forgotten that the most celebrated printers of Holland, the Elze vers for instance, have paid tribute to France, and that the learned have been indebted to us for the beauty of their works. The fine editions, so much admired at the present day, were com posed with letter which came from the foundry of the celebrated French engraver, Garamond, whose moulds, after giving universal satisfaction, became objects of contention between several gover►►ments. They are still admired by con noisseurs.* Since the appearance of the large editions of M. Pierre Didot, which have nearly superseded those of Bodoni and Baskerville, so celebrated I in their country, the Typographic Art has been making rapid . progress in the printing. offices in France.t The last ten years have produced re markable improvements in the general process of printing. We may now say with truth, that fine yditions have become common, or in other words, that common editions arefine. editions compared with those produced some years since. This amelioration due to perseverance, is the first fruit of a free press, and may be _hailed as one of the most honourable conquests of the present age. But it;'this abundance of remarkable impres sions, there are proofs of superiority which de mand particular notice. Some printers, studying their art, have pur sued in silence extensive and beautiful works which will long distinguish their names, and be come models of types and typography destined to indicate, at a future period, the progress made by the art in the present century. More than one monument of this description captivated the attention of the amateurs at the last exhibition of the products of industry, In the first class of beautiful works they displayed various specimens of printing executed by M. Panckoucke. This printer, who bears a name dear to the _philosophy of the last century, has enterprized . without any impulse than that of honourable emulation, an edition of Tacitus, in folio, an edition of the Science of Economy, and a collection of poems, of which Henry 4th is said to be the author. Proofs of these works were put forward at the exhibition, and generally admired. We have typographic works before us, and without endeavouring to establish any compari son; we can acknowledge in them real chefs crcertvre of the art. Perhaps we have not yet arrived at the period when we may expect to ob tain upon paper from types, the most pure and complete forms in the dark, full, and fine curved lines. The letters for titles are produced by several founders with infinite care and taste ; but notwithstanding all the caution observed in the fonte, the printer often finds smooth edges and defects, which spoil the impression. The composition and arrangement of large titles generally present great difficulties, arising from the appearance either of too much magni ficence, or plainness. Too many ornaments take away that chaste beauty which constitutes the first merit in the art. Too much nudity is a defect not less objectionable. M. Panckoucke has preserved a mediocrity ; he avoids excessive luxury and dryness; his titles have obtained the approbation of the most severe critics. Not a letter is retouched—all is produced by one impression. To arrive at this degree of perfection he has used increnious inventions ; but in order to entertain a just idea of those in ventions, a person should be present at the exe cution of the fine impressions he can produce. His edition of Tacitus was not the work of a week or a month. It required long attention. The perseverance of the printer was required for a considerable time. The printing of 250 folio pages enabled him to try experiments and to as certain the efficacy of means invented by himself. By patience, and the adoption of means favour able to his' undertaking, he has brought the work to a degree of accuracy superior to any thing of the sort in existence. The impressions of M. Panckoucke obtained a medal from the Jury appointed to examine the productions exhibited at the last exposition. CREs - rEaTJWheat, per 751 b. 11 s. 3d. to lls. 9d. , Barky, 38 gds.

As every thing relating to the ruffian Burke may be interesting at present, we add the following par ticulars about him during his residence in. the pa. rish of Peebles :—He and Helen M‘Pottgal resided in that burgh in the years 1825 and 1826, and part of 1827. " I find," says our corTespondent, 4 that he is a native of Armagh, in the north of Ireland; that he was a Roman Catholic; was labourer, and employed ia . working on the roads and in cutting drains. He made consid era bl e pretensions to reli giOn; as I recollect, on my first Visit. to his house, he . had one or two religious bockt lying neat which; he said, he read,--.being,: at that time; 'Con fined by a sore leg. He teetned a Man of quiet manners-; and, on my queitionin g hi m about hia country and profession, there appeared a mystery about him. Since he has gained A guilty notoriety, I .haye Made inquiries among his neighbours - of hit character : and I:am informed that he was arcin. offensive man, but that he kept suspicious hours.-- On the Saturday .nights and the Sabbath-days his was theteene of riot and drunkenness . with the lowest of his countrymen. - When' he left_ place he owed the woman from whom hi rented his room between' 40 and 5(1 shillings. He was.,thea -going to the' harvest, and promised to return' and pay the rent, which he never did. On application : being made to him afterwards in Edinburgh for pay- - • men t, h e sent word to the woman to Meet him at the head of Eddlestone Water, a wild and desolate part of the road leading from this place to Edin burg. The Meeting was to be at ten . o'clock at night, when he would pay her. Recent disclosures have fully proved for what purpose such a meeting was to take piaci. He is now about 37 years of age. " Helen . M 4 Dougal told me she was his wife, • • and always passed as such in this parish. She had no children by Burke, but a daughter of the name of Dougal by a former marriage, as she pretended. She is a native of Muiravonside parish, in Stirling shire; Her character was not so good as Burke's. She it about his age. • 7" In the Post of Saturday last you term Burke's 4 ' a, pretended trade as a shoemaker, and I consider you are correct. 'He passed 'here as a labourer; and I believe he was no trade whatever." BIRTHS. On the Sd inst., et Little Marlow, Bucks, the lady of the Rev. James Allan Park, of a son.
