Friends were in the possession of Ail,' information, he did believe that they would see that "ft steble government could be formed on the principle of , ternalitiad .uncompromising resistance to the Catholic %,int Such, at least, was the conclusion to which he artiVed, and to such a conclusion he believed that his ss en. _Friends, who reproached kim, would have come also, the , same -information had reached them. The only "" "el then, , which remained, was for a responsible Go - Allotment carefully bo deliberate upon this subject; to de , 044 e. as Ministers of the Crown, what ought to be done, Without any negoeiations or reference to the parties ; and • then, submit the result of their deliberations to the Perlis- Ittent, calling on the Parliament to sanction that which under all circumstances was, in their opinion, the best that could be done.—(Cheers.)—[From the low tone in which the Right Hon. Gentleman sometimes spoke, portions of his speech were totally inaudible in the gallery.] Mr. HUSKISSON explained. He said that, in ex pressing his regret that a measure on this subject had not been brought forward during the lifetime of his late Right '• Ron. Friend (Mr. Canning), he bad meant to say nothing unpleasant to his Right Hon. Friend who had just sat down. He had expressly stated that if it had then been brought forward, he believed that the success of it would tgainly have depended on his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. peel),. as a Member of the Government, lending the assist ance of what he must call his conciliatory spirit. In illus tration of this, he had adverted to the very satisfactory ad ' justment which his Right Hon. Friend had effected of the quetion of the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts.— He bad used no reproaches. "'ldr. PEEL said he could assure his Right Hon. Friend • that' he alluded to reproaches which had been made last ,night. " : The Address was then agreed to, and ordered to be presented to his Majesty on Monday next, by such Mem ' ben of the House as were Members of his Majesty's Privy Council. Mr. FYSHE PALMER moved that an address be pre- Aerated to his Majesty, praying that lie might be graciously Pleased to order that an Account be laid on the Table of 'the House, of the Fees paid to the High Sheriffs of the different counties in England and Wales, stating under what authority they are levied, and the amount thereof ; alSo stating what allowances are made each High Sheriff to enable him to perform the duties of his office.—Ordered. , —Adjourned to Monday.

DINNER TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, ESQ., M.P. (From the Freeman's Journal of Thursday.) Wednesday evening-, the friends of civil and religious freedom, in the parish of St. Audeon's, entertained at a Public dinner that distinguished patriot the Hon. Member • for Clare. The room was crowded to excess, and in the absence of Mr. A. Mahon, who was to have taken the Chair, N. P. O'Gousralsr, Esq. presided. After the usual toasts, the Learned Gentleman proposed— . " Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., and may his efforts in freeing his country be successful." • Mr. O'CosiNxi.r. rose and said, lie stood there the first Catholic Member of Parliament that Ireland saw for near two centuries—(cheers)—and, lest they might not be aware of his principles, he would repeat them.—(Hear.) • --He would go to Parliament, the undaunted champion Of civil and religious liberty to all men of all climes and denominations—the firm and uncompromising supporter of radical reform its Parliament—the unptirchaseable foe to any plan of jobbing or abuse.—(Cheers.)—But there was • another reform lie wished to achieve—the reform of his own • • profession. He wished to Cleanse the Augean stable, to make law plain, clear, cheap, and intelligible. Ile wished to get rid of conjurors.—(Cheers.)—At present, my Lords the ' *judges, with salaries of from three to five thousand pounds a-year, leave town in July, and amuse themselves in the obuutry till November, while the unfortunate suitors arc to the mean time either pulling the oyes out of each other or filling the coffers of the wily attorney. This is mon strous and ought to be remedied.—(Cheers. )_There is a third topic on which he (Mr. O'C.) would not, through dread of exciting odium, remain silent. Although not a Protestant, he paid as much of the church -rates as if he • were, and therefore he had a right to remonstrate against ; the Pagan and unchristianly large revenues of the church. --(Cheers.)—Every vote he should ever give in Parlia ment on this question would be to sheer off the superabun dant revenues of the establishment.—(Loud cheers. )--But it might be objected by the ascendant party that his object would be to transfer this surplus to the clergy of the Ca tholic church. Nothing could be more untrue, for he would never wish to see the priests of his church counting their treasures instead of attending to the calls of their mered Ministry. —(Cheers.)—Be would never be content until every man of eompos mentis, who attained the age of twenty-one years, could vote at an election for Members of P arliatneut, and until the landlords, so far from punishing their tenants for voting against their wishes, would not be able to learn how they voted—until the election wits by ballot. —(Cheers.) Several other patriotic toasts were drank, and the festi- Vity was continued up to a very late hour. We have great pleasure in referring our readers to th e advertisement of the New Edition (the 15th) of that tiuly useful work, the IVIVDICAL Gothic, by Dr. Reece. Into this Edition the Author has introduced all the late discoveries in medicine, and several chapters on diet, dif ferent temperaments and peculiarities of constitution and hYwpathier, and about two hundred presetiptions of the bloat eminent physicians of Europe and America. As a book of popular, as well as professional, instruction, it has bong superseded the works of Buchan and Thomas.

SUN OFFICE, Half-past Two. We have just received, by express, the Paris Papers of Thursday morning. The following arc the only articles worth extracting which have not been received this morning by the German Papers : (Frorn the Quotidienne.) FRANKFORT, FEB. 1. Commercial letters from Vienna, by the last Courier, state the disappointment of the speculators in the funds, when they reported that the disposition of the Porte was pacific ; but letters from Constantinople officially contra dict the 'Shore report. The mission of Matuscewics to London also greatly occupied the attention of our politi cians. It is said his mission was to explain to the prin cipal Powers of Europe his Imperial Majesty's motive, if he should be forced to make another campaign. The Rus sian Court will decide on the answer of the Sultan to the notes of Austria and England, which is stated to be that the Sultan has taken the resolution not to trout for peace before the Russian troops have evacuated Moldavia and Wallachia, and to retire to the other side of the Pruth ; and that the fortresses taken from the Porte on the Da nube should be restored. (From the Journal des Debuts of Feb. 5.) They write from Marseilles, Jan. 30, they laud received letters there from Smyrna, of the 2d December, stating, that several Austrian and Sardinian vessels laden with grain from Egypt and Constantinople, entered Smyrna, being forced in by the Russians who blockaded the Dar danells. LISBON, JAN. 21. In regard to the troops of the line, they are continually shut up in their caserns, and the soldiers sleep is their clothes. Numerous pieces of artillery have been placed at Belem and at Ajuda ; they are also working at the fortifiea cationi of Queluz, that the Palace should not be surprised. The contents of the French Papers are not marked by any particular fact of interest with which we were not previously acquainted. The Moniteur con firms the arrival of the English ships the Lyra, Mi nerva, and the Susanna, at Brest, on the 30th of January, having on board 630 Portuguese refugees, under the orders of Count Saldanha. These unfor tunate persons were conveyed by two English frigates as far as Cape Finisterre, whence they pro ceeded to Brest. " The Government has ordered the maritime Prefects to give speedy assistance to the vessels and to the Portuguese : these orders, which were imme diately transmitted, have been executed with that humanity and zeal which distinguish our nation." The news from Turkey presents a frightful picture of the miseries which prevail among the new recruits of the Turkish army in the environs of Shumla.— Great numbers of them die daily in the hospi tals, while the sick were removed to Adrianople and other places, where more attention could be paid to their wants. The Asiatic Turks, who wear no stockings, have had their feet frozen in crossing the Balkan mountains. So much for the winter campaign.

Exchange on Loudon, one month, 25f. 20c.; three months, 25f. German Papers, of the 30th January, have been received. Their cements, if correct, aro important, as indicating a new plan of campaign which the Rus sians are contemplating, and which they ought to have carried into effect last summer, seeing that they had the entire command of the Black Sea. The plan is to have an army of observation on board the fleet and transports, which can act according to cir cumstances, either in support of the army of Bulga ria or that of General PASKEWITCIL, by making, or threatening, a descent on the shores of the Black Sea, either in Europe or Asia. The wonder is, that such a play should have been so heedlessly neglected last campaign ; but the truth is, that every thing was mismanaged then. Should the Russians make a des cent in Asia, they will greatly facilitate the progress of General PASKEWITCIi towards the Bosphorus. And a plan of operations, if well conducted, and promptly executed, on the Asiatic side, would ultimately prove more ruinous to the SULTAN than the passage of the Balkan by the Russian army, because the Russians in Asia having the command of the Black Sea, could effectually cut off any more supplies of men or pro visions to recruit the fores in the capital. If Russia► understands her own interest she will persevere in a plan of this sort—but if we were the Duke of WELLINGTON we should take good care that she did not. It is manifestly the intention of Russia to obtain a preponderance on the shores of the Black Sea, as well as in the Eastern part of the Mediterranean, but it is equally the interest of England and France that she shall not accomplish her purposes. If England and France continue in their present happy union of sentiment with regard to the affairs of the East, we can apprehend little danger from the powerof Russia, however encroach ing or ambitious :-- ImisY, JAN. 12. If we may credit private letters from Odessa, prepara tions are making there, and at Sebastopol, for the next campaigns in order to attack the Porte, not only in Eu rope but in Asia, with the greatest energy. A consider acle number of transports is to be collected iu the port of Sebastopol, to receive troops and artillery, and it is sup-- posed that this corps is intended to laud on the Turkish Asiatic coat of the Black Sea, partly to support the ope rations of Gen. Paskewitsch, partly to make diversions in favour of the army near the Balkan. It is said that Gen. Paskewitsch, who has with him the Baron Von Sassen, one of the most distinguished officers of the general staff, has received the Emperor's orders to draw up a new plan of operations for the army in Armenia, which General Diebitsch is to endeavour to connect with that of the main army, which was not the case in the preceding campaign. Russian moveable columns, which may ulti mately support the army in Bulgaria, and that of General Paskewitsch, will be landed for this purpose on the Aasiatic coast, supperted by the fleet, and employed in interrupting the communications with Constantinople, and with break ing up the Turkish depots. It cannot be denied that if this plan is well executed, with the facility of supplying the troops by sea, the advantage to the Russian army must be great, and the port be attacked in the most sensible part. For if the Russian columns could succeed in approaching the Bosphorus by land, on the Asiatic side, the impres sion that such a circumstance would make on the inhabi tants of the capital would be incalculable, and the Sultan would find it difficult to keep the disturbers of the public tranquillity in check. A new kind of Congreve rocket has been made at Mos cow, and the army is to be considerably strengthened. The late changes in the positions of the troops in the in terior of Russia have put almost the whole army in mo tion, and it is difficult to say what corps are, and what are not destined to act in the field, as they are all on the war establishment. The statements in circulation do not agree with each other, and do not enable us to form a correct idea of the strength of the army, which is to open the campaign, but it will be at least 200,000 men. The Rus. sian nation is iu general in favour of the war, and its en thusiasm is increased by the clergy, who represent it as a religious war, undertaken to fellow Christians. It it` affirmed also that the clergy have contributed large sums to defray the expenses of the war. Great exertions are making here for the organization of the hospitals. Several French surgeons have been induced to leave the army, because their ignorance of the Russian language hindered them from communicating with their patients, and they were therefore unable to be so service able as they might have been. The continued frost has proved very salutary, and there are now hardly any sick in the hospitals. BUCHAREST, JAN. 14. Nothing has occurred since the last post; even the slight apprehensions respecting an invasion of Tchapan Oglou from Nicopoli and Tournul have vanished. A heavy and continued fall of snow prevents all operations on that side. It is even affirmed that Tchapan Oglen has never left Nicopoli. We have letters from Krajova, up to the 12th instant, which likewise contain nothing of im portance. VIENNA, JAN. 26. —Metalliques, 97 '7-16 ; Bank Shares, 1,106 ; in the evening, 1,107. CORFU, JAN. S. On the Ist inst. the anniversary of the introduction of the constitution of these States was kept with great so lemnity. The Lord High Commissioner held a levee in the morning, and in the evening gave a ball and supper.— Admiral Sir P. Malcolm was present. This morning the Admiral sailed for Malta, on board the Asia, Captain J. Hope Johnstone. The Rifleman, Musquito, and Wenzel sloops, and the Hind cutter, sailed nearly at the same time. The African, English steam-boat, arrived on the Ist, in two days and a half from Ancona, with despatches from London (supposed to be for Mr. S. Canning), which were sent front that city 12 days before. We learn from N;varin that Colonel Fabvier had arrived there with several engineers, and that he was believed to be charged with the organizstion and command of the new Greek troops. We learn from Santa Maura, that the Grecks made themselves masters a few days ago of the town of Vostizza, in the Gulf of Ambracia, and that the castle which was closely invested, . was on the po7nt of surrendering for want of provisions. The Debate of last night will be read with deep interest. Having given so full a report of the speeches, and from the pressure of other matter, we have not room for any lengthened observations, but we cannot omit to point attention to the manly avowal of Mr. DAWSON, in explanation of his cele brated speech at Limerick. That speech we de nominated at the time as the harbinger of good will and peace to Ireland, and so it proved ! The speeches of Mr. HusliissoN, Mr., CHARLES GRANT, and Mr. PEEL, Will also be read with that pleasure which their eloquence, sincerity, and occasional pathos so highly deserve.

LAW COURTS.--THIS DAY.—Nothing of importance occurred in any of the Courts previous to our going to Press, FIRE AT YORK MINSTER. (From the Second Edition of the Leeds Intelligeneer.) THURSDAY, THREE O'CLOCK. Pardoe, the chief constable of York, arrived in Leeds yesterday, with a warrant signed by Archdeacon Mark ham, as a Magistrate of the West Riding, against Jonathati Martin, a description of whom we su!join. The follow ing are the facts 'relative to this individual, and the charges against kim Which have as yet come to light. So far as they go they may be considered authentic':— He had been some time in lodgings at York, with the shoemaker alluded to in our latest particulars of last night, and who identified the pincers found - in the cathedral, on Monday morning, as those which had been taken from his house. On Friday week he left York, stating that he was coming to Leeds to reside, and his luggage was sent off ac cordingly to this place. On Saturday morning last he again arrived at York from Leeds, and spent the day at the shoe maker's, in whose house he had before resided. On Sunday he went out at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, but did not again return. He is a man of singular habits and manners, and it does not appear that his absence excited any particular ob servation. On Monday, however, his landlord having missed a pair of shoemaker's pincers, and hearing that an instrument of that description had been found near the window from which the incendiary made his escape, ap plied to Mr. Pardoe for permission to see them. The re sult was, that he was able to swear to their identity in the most positive manner. Those pincers he used to bend back the leaden fastenings of the window, from which be escaped by means of the rope-ladder. Martin has not been seen in York since Sunday; but, during his temporary re sidence in that city, previous to the committal of the shocking deed, he stated that he was in a good situation in Leeds, and that his wife was also there, keeping the house of another man. These admissions, if correct, are of great importance, and we hope the publication of them will be the means of discovering the criminal. It has been ascer tained, from the inquiries instituted by the Police, that his boxes, which, as we before stated, were despatched from York in the early part of last week, reached the wag gon warehouse of Messrs. Scott and Carver, in this town, yesterday week. An active search for the delinquent is now going on ; but, we lament to add, he has not vet been caught. The result of the investigation, at the iiesiden tiary, at York, has been the publication of a placard, of fering a reward for the apprehension of Jonathan Martin, and giving a description of his dress and person. The fol lowing is a copy:— " Whereas, Jonathan Martin stands charged with hav ing, on the night of the Ist of February instant, wilfully set fire to York Minster. A reward of 1001. will be paid on his being apprehended and lodged in any of his Ma jesty's Gaols ; and a further reward of 1001. will be paid on the conviction of any accomplices of the said Jonathan Martin, to such person or persons as shall give information which may lead to such conviction. The following is the description of the said Jonathan Martin, viz. : " lie is rather a stout man, about Live test six inches high, with light hair cut close, coming to a point in the centre of the forehead, and high above the temples, and has large busby red whiskers ; he is between forty and fifty years of ag e; and of singular manners. He usually wears a single-breasted blue coat, whir a stand-up collar, and buttons covered with the same cloth ; a black cloth waist coat, and blue cloth trowsers ; half-boots laced up in front, and a glazed broad-brimmed low-crowned hat. Sometimes he wears a double-breasted blue coat, with yellow buttons. When travelling, he wears a large back-leather cape coming down to his elbows, with two pockets within the cape; across the back of the leather cape there is a square piece of dark coloured fur, extending from one shoulder point to the other. At other times he wears a drab-coloured great coat, with a large cape and shortish skirts. When seen at York last Sunday, he had on the double-breasted blue coat, a coin mon bat, and his great coat. The said Jonathan Martin is a hawker of pamphlets, one entitled " The Life of Jona than Martin, of Darlington, Tanner," the third edition of which is printed at Lincoln, by R. E. Leary, 1828 ; and another entitled " The Miraculous Escape of Jona than Martin." He had lodged in York about a month, and quitted it on the 27th of January last, stating that he was going to Tadcaster for a few days, and thence to Leeds. We returned to York on the 31st January, and said that lie and his wife had taken lodgings in Leeds. He was not seen in York after the Ist February. By order of the Dean and Chapter of York, CHRIS. JNO. NEWSTEAD, Clerk of the Peace for the Liberty of St. Peter of York. York, sth February, 1829. We have just got the pamphlet which Jonathan Martin has hawked about for sale. It is entitled as follows : " Third edition, considerably improved, with engravings by the Author, the Life of Jonathan Martin, of Darling ton, tanner, written by himself, containing an account of the extraordinary interpositions of Divine Providence on his behalf, during a period of six years' service in the navy, including his wonderful escapes in the action of Copenha gen, and in many affairs on the coasts of Spin and Por tugal, in Egypt, &e. Also an account of the embarkation of the British army after the battle of Ccranna. Like wise an account of his subsequent conversion and Christian experience, with persecutions he suffered for conscience sake, being locked up in an asylum and ironed, describing his miraculous escape through the roof of the house, having first ground off his fetters with a sandy stone. His singular dreams of the destruction of London, and the host of armed men overrunning England, also of the son of Buonaparte taking England, &c. &c. To which is added, a letter from Mr. Fletcher, on the Prophecies concerning the latter times. " Nark ! my kind readers, the hand of God in a poor humble cot, God has raised or us four brothers ; my oldest brother he has made a natu►al philosopher, my youngest, an historical painter, his drawings and engravings has made Kings and Emperors to wonder. The Emperor of Russia at this time has made him a present of a diamond ring, but I, the unworthiest, God has given to me the gift of prophecy, which is the best of all, for I feel that God is with me. " Lincoln . : printed for and sold by the author, by 11. E. Leary, 1828.—Price sixpence." It would appear from the above, that the wretched maniac is brother of Mr. Martin, the printer and engraver, to whom the world is indebted for the splendid picture, &c. of Belshazzar's Feast, and those of so many other re markable subjects. We have looked over "Jonathan Mortinjs Life," so called, and it certainly appears to con sist, for the most part, of the ravings of a fanatical madman.- We cannot, however, discover, any passage expressly prophetic of the burning of York Minster, though fire is the great agent of destruction which setnus to fill his imagination. On the blue wrapper is a rude wood-cut, representing the lunatic asylum at Gateshead, near Newcastle upon- Tyne, from which Martin says that lie effected his mira culous escape ; and opposite the title-page is a frontispiece, in the same rude style, representing a male figure naked, with a dart in his lea hand, a sort of glory reund the head, and - the right hand uplifted and holding a flaming ball. Jonathan Martin's wife, who has been for a short time residing in Marsh-lane, in this town, was this morning taken into custody while vending. the "History of her husband's life." She was immediately sent off to York, to be examined before the gentlemen there assembled t ) in vestigate into the circumstances of the fire. Martin him self has not, up to this hour, been found, but the police have been in the hottest pursuit after him for the whole day. We hope to be able to announce before night that he is in the hands of the officers. THIRD EDITION. INTELLIGENCER-OFFICE, THURSDAY NIC;TET. Mr. Chantrell, the eminent architect of this place, has just returned from visiting York Minster to-day, in com pany with his Grace the Archbishop, and the venerable Archdeacon Markha:n. That Gentleman has favoured us with the following summary of the actuA extent of in jury sustained from the fire. The public will have the satisfaction, however melancholy, of learning from thence, that the loss has been hitherto exaggerated in all the pub lished accounts of the conflagration. 11r. Chantrell's epitome is as follows : The Side Aisles are not materially injured, in consequence of having stone groins ; nor have any of the ►nona ments or statues in them seriously suffered. The clustered columns of the Choir are twelve in number, each column consisting of a quatlrangular pier in the centre, surrounded by small cylindrical columns. The piers are scarcely injured, but the shafts of the cluster ing cylinders are burnt, flawed, or otherwise destroyed to a considerable exteat. The Capitals of the Columns are nearly safe except two— those near the Lantern Tower—which are destroyed. The Lantern Tower remains perfect, and the Great Piers supporting it are only superficially injured. The Arches between the Columns are not materially in jured. The Clustered Columns in the Lady Chapel, six in num ber, are but slightly injured, and that only to the height of ten or twelve feet, and superficially. This is owing to the fire being here confined to the centre of the Aisle, and consisting merely of the fallen roof. The celebrated Screen between the Choir and Lady Chapel is so much injured, that it must be taken down and rebuilt. The Entrance Screen to the Choir remains nearly perfect. The Great East Window is scarcely touched. The Clerestory Windows (that is, those windows above the Clustered Columns, on either side, between the ToWer 'and the great East Window), have sustained very bang damage. The wall is very thick in that part, and they consequently stand in recesses, and were equally five from the effects of the fire on the roof ovtr them, as of the flames below. The Tabernacle work, of carved oak, on either side the choir, fuming ti:e stal!s at,d rural-loft for the organ, with the organ itself, ate totally destroyed. The roof is totally destroyed. Only the north side of the roof was covered withlead—the . south side being slated for the -last thirty or forty years. The whole of the parts, where the fire prevailed, are deeply blackened with smoke. The pulpit, the cushions and books, &c. in the north side of the choir, were carried out and depo,ited in a place of safety ; the brass eagle from which the lessons were read was also borne away. Mr. Chantrell estimates, on a rough calculation, that it will take about sixty or seventy thousand pounds to re stsre the Minster to its recent state—that the expence can not exceed one hundred thousand pounds. This gentleman accounts for the speedy communication of the tire to the roof as follows. It appears that the Precentor, the first person that entered the Minster on the discovery of the misfortune found, as Nye have stated elsewhere, the whole place filled with a dense mass of smoke. So much was this the case, that the second person who got in was compelled to withdraw for a short while, in order to avoid suffocation. This smoke, of course, consisted prin cipally of unignited gas, the produce of the slow and smouldering combustion which had continued through the night. The effect, however, of admitting a rush of air into the Cathedral, on opening the doors, was to kindle this gas into flame, and blow the whole up against the roof. It also appears that the apertures of the triforium (sometimes called the Friars' Walk), above the capitals of the clus tered columns, opened to the side roofs of the Choir. The consequence of the two circumstances combined was, that the roof almost immediately took fire through those aper tures, and for a time the tiremen were employed in extin guishing it. But at last the flames conquered all oppoei-• tion, and the roof blazed and fell progressively, front the tower to the east window. Nothing, we understand, can be done relative to the Minster or its reparation till the Dean, who has been some time in Devonshire, returns. He is daily expected. The Dean and Chapter, it is said, possess about 20,600/. per annum for the uses of the Cathedral. The Earl of Car lisle's window, in the east corner of the south side aisle, has escaped with six small fractures. Up to this time:(nine o'clock Thursday night), Jonathan Martin has not been taken into custody, nor have further tidings of him reached this place. His wife, when dis covered by the officers this mo►ning, expressed her sur prise at the charge against her husband, and, after ad mitting that he left this town on Saturday morning, said, that she understood, on his departure, that he w: s going into the neighbourhood of Tadcaster ; that she had not heard of him since; and that she had experienced great uneasiness at - his long absence. She added, that his place of concealment, or any thing farther connected with the affair, was totally unknown to her. THE ATARI ETS.-(THIS DAY.) FISII-MARKET, BILLINGSGATE.

SPARRING AT BIRMINGHAM. A prime display of the art of self-defence will take place in Birmingham, on Monday next, Feb. 9, for the benefit of Philip Sampson and Dobell, who is matched to fight Big Brown, of Bridgenorth. That firm supporter of manly English sports, John Beat dsworth, Esq., has, with his usual liberality, granted them the use of his Repository, and a better place for exhibiting fistic manoeuvres there is not in the kingdom. The bouncing Ned Neal, and his receiver-general, Whiteheaded Bob, are expected to at tend ; also all the first-rate amateurs of Brummagem ; and there is little doubt but that Neal and Bub will not re turn from Warwickshire without customers. There are several natty lads of metal ready to set-to with them en their arrival ; and Sampson will be prepared to make a match with Whiteheaded Bob, fur 5001., and Taffy Davis with Ned Neal, for 1001. The curly-headed Show-boy is anxious for a trial with the lively Kiddy ; and the Brummagem Pet will be ready to make a match with the Oxford Pet, or Irish Kelly. The Brums are upon the tip toe to see what Dobell can do with their Sampson, before they lay out their money on the great fight. At present betting is six to four upon Brown, which is the highest odds offered. Sampson will go into the ring with his friend Doha ; he will also be with him during his train ing ; and as Sampson so easily conquered Big Brown, and is fully awake to all his heavy tricks, there is little doubt but that Doliell will profit considerably by his friend's tuition. As the Pugilists of the London Ring are at the present time very flat, and no matcheS hardly upon- the carpet, we recommend those penmen who are anxiously looking out for matches, to depute their friend Dobell (who does not leave London until Saturday) to post the needful and sign articles of areement for them ; for we feel con vinced, from the anxiety . exhibited by the Brummagem Fancy, that they may be all accommodated with friends. Should D,►bell be so deputed, and he will call at Arthur Matthewson's, Perrins's, or Cherry Bounce's, he is sure to receive a hearty welcOme, and custom for his pugilistic pals. The young Queen of .Portugal has recovered from the effects of her cold. Her Majesty took an airing in her carriage on Tuesday for the first tine since her re covery, and passed through Chertsey, Staines, and other places adjacent to her residence at Laleham. The weather being unfavourable on Wednesday, the Queen kept her apartments, and took lessons from several of her masters. Her Majesty gave a sitting for her bust on Thursday to Turnerelli. The Marquis de Barbacena left Laleham on Thursday morning, and came to town to the residence of the Brazilian Minister, with whom the Marquis had a long conference, and afterwards returned to Laleham, The Duke of Clarence came to town about eleven o'clock yesterday morning from his residence in Bushy-park. his Royal Highness remained during the day at the residence of the Princess Augusta, in the King's Palace, St. James's, and in the afternoon returned to Bushy. The Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Hill, Lord El lenborough, and Mr. Secretary Peel, had interviews with the Duke of Wellington yesterday at the Treasury. SPIRIT OF THE,I-ONDQN,JOLIRNALS. It is nearly sevente44iyeairi ago that tbe.;Catholic cause found in the columns of the Times journal a►n organ of that strenuous and resolute advoccy, of which, so far as .\Concertted, the civil rights, of our fellow-subjects, w have rever relaxed the tone, and from which no considerations of accident or dif ficulty—no taunts of enmity—no'indulg,ence of early habit or pre jud:ce —no deference for political fa shion, which occasionally, though hot durably, iu the course of many season., arrayed itself against the demands of sound state policy—no obvious, though sordid, views of interest—have ever to this hour seduced us. The progress of time, however, brought with it a gradual manifestation of truths which it often requires a maturity- of political crime and suffering—an extreme collision ot• the persecutor with the oppressed—to devclol•e in all their hear ings and proportions, for the eyes of ordinary (that is, of the majority of) observers. The i•►ti►nate connexion between propel ty awl power, tnekr every form of government but pure despotism, (where property cannot be said to exist), has been it datum for ages with English writers. Strange that so received a principle should be overlooked in its most important and striking illustrations, furnished as well by the history of England in the 17th cen tury, as by that of Ireland since 1778. The struggle in this country, from the reign of James I. to the Revolution, was maintained by flew pro perty for a participation of ancient power. The Irish Act of Parliament of 1773-9, in bestowing f i►irir.g wealth, i ted by Ilen►y F (nt h i l v e o oe o ns ( s i t t te a lid t e o e t f s h( m ea t e n i t l i ll e i llov o l i f i c tch o s t n h t s ht a e le tl i e u e ti l e n a r l y 's i tt e l‘ er v: l e: e i ni • o e i selliv•iti(lot.igaf power; and ble, and not remote, of measure resorted to from necessity under the name of mercy, of which the wisdom was in trinsic and demonstrable, though, as adopted by its authors, one of blind and fearful delusion. On the wealth thus communicated to the Catholics, was ingrafted real and essential power, the ascendancy of purchasers, mortgagees, and other holders of money, which in most cases moves the world. The next question for Parliament, therefore, was as to the political form in which this new substantial power should be exercised. The worst possible form was chosen by the Irish Government of 1793, which sought to attach the most extensive nominal privileges to the smallest proportion of real wealth : in other words, to run counter to first principles, by separating the power from the expression of it, in so far as that purpose could be effected by destroying the ratio which nature Las established between them. The struggle of the Catholics since 1793 has been to restore that subverted balance. Minis ters, in the memorable debate of Thursday last, painted in glowing colours the insurmountable diffi culty of carrying on the government of the British empire amidst such pervading discord. They de clared, and truly, that for a series of years the mem bers of the Cabinet had been disunited upon the Ca tholic question,—that Lords had keen disunited from Commons, Protestant from Protestant, and Catholic from all,—that *the Administrations of the last reign and of the present had been, with few ex ceptions, built on the vicious and no longer practi cable ground-work of disunion ; that such a morbid ac tion impaired and endangered the commonweal t h,and that a remedy could no longer be delayed.TheMinisters might have added to their• list of consequences, that Ireland was all but " disunited" from England, and have assigned as the first and originating cause that the living spirit of the Constitution had been vio lated by the attempt to " disunite" property from power. The Duke of Wellington hit the mark in two most valuable observations; he told the people of England, in defiance of the drunken boasts of fac tion, that the majority of Englishmen were in favour of Catholic rights. A strong truth this, and an honest evidence of the improved sagacity of the na tion. Ile also reproached the Irish Orange Lords, that it was they who had disturbed society, and produced the necessity for yielding the Catholic claims, by laws which had seised the Catholics to the consciousness of power, and had debarred them from its legitimate exercise. In six months hence, men will look at each other and exclaim—What was that scruple which withheld emancipation ?—what was that terror which overhung the anti-Catholics ? The act of emancipation will pass, like the repeal cf the test act, for the disappearance of a shadow, which haunted our sleep, and loeked i p our faculties as a night-mare. That all possible causes and instruments of dissatisfaction will be got rid of in Ireland, or in this country, by the adjustment of the question now about to Le disposed of, no wise or honest man has ever yet alleged. The want of capital and the want of edu cation must still affect the prosperity of Ireland;— nor will her internal peace be fully protected, until her landlords shall be aroused to a sense of their duties, and means be provided for administering succour to the helpless and destitute poor. But after emancipation, whatever excitement may ap pear, will change its direction with its causes. There may be complaints of classes, but none of sects. There may be local vexations, or even vio lence; but there will remain no element of civil, none of religious war. Property in general need fear no spoliation—the Protestant establishment no revolution—the State no insurrection —society DO convulsion. If, on the question of civil rights, the Protestant body of the United Kingdom have been divided by their discordant views of the appli cation of political principles let even the most anxi ous of the Orange alarmists console themselves with a fixed and immoveable confidence, that against any further claims of the Catholic body—that is to say, against airy efforts to advance their church, or to aggrandize their priesthood, at the expellee or to the danger of the religious establishments of the realm— there can exist no materials of division among Pro testants ; but, on the contrary, that against any such Popish enterprises, the Protestants of England, Scotland,• and Ireland, will rise like one man to crush them. On the removal, then, of civil diss abilities from our Catholic fellow-subjects, we eon ' gratulate this great and enlightened station. It is a measure fraught with political wisdom as with Christian charity, redressing a grievous wrong composing a feud most fatal and unnatural, spar ing blood, securing life, encouraging industry, en larging property, destroying prejudice, unfettering justice, diffusing knowledge, expanding liberty, rein forcing national power, restoring domestic peace ; a pledge of protection to the friends of England— to her enemies a flag of defiance; a glorious record in our archives—a heritage for which future gene rations of Englishmen will bless their forefathers of the 19th century. There still remains a point or twodeserving some brief allusion. The Catholic Association is, it appears, to be put down by law. If the Catholics wait for a coercive suppression of that society eete,o b c y iblaes t o, l —f te uh,aeisl Government, sleaamjsens dtype isefiorderg, eNtvhthteloali that th i l t vi t st i el p icae r u ttv , t , will merit the most ample and severe viitation will i t N t a l s'iese meant tbheel r y a e t holic subjects of their approaching relief from per secution. If they continue, under a positive pro mise of relief, that experiment which arose pro fessedly from their despair of it, they will afford a handle to their enemies to charge them with inten tions very different from what they have avowed, and may throw a friendly Government into diffi culties with the people here, which may prove dis.. in their consequences. But, for the order in which the speech holds out, or threatens to legis lute against the Catholics, and for them, it would, we think, have been heifer if reversed. Dange► arises, we are told, from the Association; but from what does the Association itself arise ? From the existing disabilities. Follow, therefore, in the re medies, the order which is manifest in the diseases. Begin with the root, and see if the branches will not soon wither when that has been once extir pated. It is, on the whole, a subject of surprise, and with many—amongst whom we confess Our selves—of sorrow likewise, that the success and credit of the Bill of Emancipation should rest ex clusively with a band of statesmen who were its ~~ i
