SrI.P,IT OF THELONDuN JOURNALS. (FROM THE TIMES.) A meetinz, avowedly Of Anti-Catholics and ascendancy men. was held on Saturday last at the Crown and Anchor, to pet;tion against the picise measure of adjustment recom mendol ht - lig llajcsty to Parliament. An unknown Barri-ter appears to have been the principal performer on this occasion, and he acquitted himself, as is usual ‘vitlk Orange functionaries, in a manner satisfactory enough to thn,.• of his audience who, like the worthy gentleman, enioe c I a perfect freedom from prejudice and selfisliness, and labour, 'I under a mani.est redundancy of politic:al foresight and wi-don. The Duke of Newcastle, of course, cannot do less than return this hopeful Barrister to the House of Commons, where Oranee eloquence is at a discount since Sir Themae Lethbridge has come round. Mr. Hunt stood up to speak, and though he failed in the endeavour for a bearing, he contrived to puzzle the wiseacres, as well as partially to soften their hostility, by a hit at the temporal nature of the pretended religious fears of the Church. Lord Kenyon, with whose domestic afflic tion eeery body must sympathize, wilt only hindered by it from attending the above meeting in person ; but not from visiting it in the shape of a rather voluminous letter, wherein the Noble Lord's wits have so deserted him, that he actually takes up once more the eh cunt and abandoned question of the corenation oath, which Lord Liverpool treated with undisguised contempt, and which the late Lord Kenyon—the father of the present one, and not, we apprehend, a worse lawyer than his son— assured his late Majesty George 111., was not of a nature to interpose any obstacle to further legislation upon the laws affecting the Catholics. There is no terror—in fact there is nothing but matter of laughter—in attempts like these, for a mind so resolute as flea of the Duke of Wel lington, or for a Minister so intrinsically powerful. His Greer's strength is threefold. He has for him—the King ; the whale Irish nation hut a handful of monopolists ; the mimic body (we make no qualification) of enlightened and distinguished Englishmen ; and, as the cementing prin ciple of all, he has eternal Justire. Nor will the Duke of Wellington suffer his advantages to lie idle, or permit those in the pay of Government to undermine its delibe rate policy, undertaken on clear views of the safety of the Crown, the Church, and realm. The impudence of under lings affecting to be "neuter" upon a question which in ./selves the stability of the power which appoints them, is a little too bad, and the bold Duke has taught them better man ners. Ilis mace is inimitable as a State Master of the Cere moniee, and to we opine a certain other " Master" has fOund him. The Mater-General of the Ordnance is quite welcome to his neutrality, but he molt take its conse setencee too. " Yes ; your Lordship a.ty he neutral as you like. But, however, Lord Viscose~ B may vote, the King's Muster-General will be pleased to vote in support of his Majesty's Government." By the way, we saw some disappointed faces on Saturday, of ar tillery officers, who had come up from Woolwich in hopes of hearing that Lord Bereaford's conscientious hatred of emancipation would force him to retire, and that Lord Rosalyn had succeeded to the Ordnance, a Nobleman whose appnintment to the administration of that service would be hailed with joy by every moan who takes an honest inte rest in its welfare. Lord Lowther will, after a certain hint, Le cautious what he is doing, or all the Lonedale boroughs will not prevent a fresh Commission of Woods and Forests being made out with time characteristic promptitude of the Premier. To those who are weak enough to suspect the Duke of Wellington's non-accomplishment of that great triumph to which he is now aspiring, we say, " Fear him not : the man has a sound head, and a stout heart, a confiding Sovereign, and England anxious for success." To those who swish that he should fail, disreputable as is their party. and destitute of even a single statesman, we sa e, .' What do you propose to yourselves, what will be come of you if the Duke of Wellington, from being thwarted in his attempt to save the empire, should resign his oilier., as in such a case we know that he will? Whom will you have for Ministers? The unmixed Whigs are all emancipators ; the mixed- Cabinets are on every side given up, as disgraceful to their members, and ruinous to the Commonwealth. The only unmixed Tory Govern ment that could be formed with the least chance of enduring even for a fortnight, has pledged itself to an adjustment of the Catholic claims as an inevitable policy. What, then, would ye have? Would you bare Ireland as the is, with a prospect of what she must lie without freedom? Would you re-enact the penal laws in their full and pristine bar barism? If not, where is your third course?" (FROM THE MORNING CHHONICLE) The result of the Meeting at the Crown and Anchor Tavern i n Satnrday, will teach a salutary lesson to those who speculate on the public credulity. The metropolis is not for No Popery vagaries. Mr. Hunt moved a very significant Amendment, that, instead of " the Constitu tion in danger," they should use the word " the Tithes in 'Langer," and the Amendment was carried by a majority of ten to one. This is as it should be. We are far from contending that there are not people really alarmed for the suety of the Protestant Constitution and the Protestant religion. It is hardly possible that all the pains taken to work on the fears of the people should not have predneer; some effect. But, generally speaking, the word tithes may be substituted for religion. Not that we believe tithes will he endangered by Emancipation, though it is clear the Clergy think go. The Protestant Church in Ireland is not in danger from the Catholics, but from the Protestant Landholder.. In England the Aristocracy obtained the spoil of the Catholic Church, and possessing the richest livings, derive far more from tithes than they contribute to the Church. But it is otherwise in Ireland. There is but a very small portion of the livings of Ireland in the hands of the Landholders. The greatest number are at the disposal of Bishops, the Crown, and Corpora tions. The Scotch Landholders exempted themselves from tithes by a permanent conversion, beyond which the income of the Clergy could not be raised ; but having achieved this for themselves, they were too crafty to remain attached to a Church which held out no temporal attractions for them, and therefore they prudently chose the religion of England and Ireland, which would enable them ns obtain estates for their children at the expence of England, and more especially Ireland. They were Pres byterians so long as it was necessary to rid themselves of tithes ; they became Episcopalians to share in the good things of their neighbours. The late Primate of Ireland was a Scotchnian, the present Bishop of Kildare (Leslie) is a Scotchanin, and there are seldom fewer than two or three Irish Bishops of the Scottish nation. Englishmen, too, arc abundantly promoted to Irish Sees ; and these Scotch and English Bishops take care to bestow the nu merous livings at their disposal on relations, on sons, sons in-law, cousins, brothers, ecc. This is a sore point with Irish landholders, who consider the church a tax on them selves, for the benefit of strangers. Were Emancipation carried, the effect would be a more intimate union between Britain and Ireland, and a strengthening of the power of Government. At present there is literally no Government in Ireland, from the union of all classes of Catholics, aris tocracy and democracy, clergy and laity. But the Irish Ca tholics as such have no interest in the question of tithes any more than Irish Presbyterians, and though Catholic land holders will feel on the subject like Protestant landholders, the Catholics generally will not share the feeling. But the security of the Irish church rests on the disposition of the Parliament of else United Kingdom, which, we may be sure, will never willingly part with the Irish Establisd_ went, and which will have now more power than ever.t Had Ireland remained a separate kingdom, the Proteetan Church would, perhaps, have been destroyed ere Omit , but the Union has given the lrieh Church the support of the English Church, which the English Aristocracy have such x powerful interest in maintaining. We believe then that the danger to tithes will be diminished, not increased, by Emancipation. It there were only one hundred Pro testants in Ireland, the Church would still be maintained, because the English Aristocracy will never abandon a tax which yields to them more than their share of the rental of the country, and which might be endangered by the pte eedent-of an Ecclesiastical Reformation in Ireland. Reli gion with the higher ranks is tithes. It cannot fail to have been observed that all the agitation at present is in the tithe countries; that the Scotch do not in the least partici pate in the feeling which has led in Ireland and England to Brunswick Clubs and No Popery Meetings. No man can suppose that the Scotch are less religious than their neigh bours ; but oil to feed the flame is awanting ; there is no thing to be gained or lost ; there are no tithes ; and reli eions zeal without tithes is by no means unruly. Lord Redesdale confirms us in our view by two pamphlets just published by him, under the title of Letters to Lard Col eh,ester---mtrane productions inner; unquestionably, which will amply repay the perusal. "In the eventful history," e les his Lordship, " of the times preceding the Revolution (1688), from the first dawn of the Reformation in the reign of Edward 111., and particularly from the accession of Edward VI. and during the reign of Charles 1., the sub eequent, usurpation, and the reign of Charles H., we may ee-i important lessons for our guidance in estimating the etfecta of that dominion which reliLrions opinion!' have over the mind of man ; and how much the zeal of opinion may he ilflamed, and perhaps created, by the desire wealth or power." That man who would not bestir himself for a &00.1 living, must be strangely constituted. His Lordship is right ; the desire of wealth iuflatues the zeal of opinion. But we shall take another opportunity to do justice to his Lordship's letters, which must not be disposed of by a brief usiun. (FROM THE MORNING HERALD.) We would draw the public attention again to another isgueting bear-garden scene at a meeting of creditors ,coder the bankruptcy of the notorious Rowland Stephen son. We can see no use upon eartk of an authority or tri bun il the duties of which are thus executed ; still less can we imagine any reason why persons who have lost their money by fraud or insolvency, or both, are to he exposed, to actual personal danger in merely claiming, their debts. Nobody perhaps may be to blame in this matter : but if not, at any rate the system is; and we think it would not be beneath the person, who is at the head of the system—viz. the Lord Chancellor, if he were to inquire into, and reform it. As one mode of lessening the evil, we would suggest that d e bts in town commissions, like those in country ones, might be proved by ,ffidavits sworn before a Master in Chancery; and as the depositions in the one case hare no 4tainp,hat these affidavits also should be exempt from duty. This, we are aware, though it might get rid of part of the thronging and tumult at these bankruptcy meetings, would be only a very partial remedy. Some thing, we should think, might be done by the Commis sioners to obviate the disgr ice which attaches to them by permitting the Commission under which they act " to be worked," as it is called, in a storm. Why do they not manfully adjourn, or suspend their proceedings, rather than see the Great Seal scandalised by such scenes as they, in fact, preside over, and, therefore, so for sanction? It is true, perhaps, that the Learned Gentlemen might lose their tees by so proceeding ; at the sstrie time we cannot suppose that high-minded honourable men, as their rank in life e ntitles them to he considered, can put a trifling loss of money in competition with a heavier loss of credit. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. I FERIA L PAR LIAMENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS. The Lonn CHANCELLOR took his seat at a quarter East tire o'clock. The Earl of ELDON presented several petitions against further concession to the Catholics. Lord COLCHESTER in presenting a petition took this opportunity of stating to their Lordships that notwithstand ing the aauction given to the view of Emancipation to th e Catholics, his sentiments remained the same. He could not consent in the present disturbed state to Emancipation. Ile wished to say with respect to the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government, that the public debt of gratitude to him for his former excellent services was immeasurable. Ile had hoped, in the same Noble Dukes to have found an uneompromised and uncompromising de fender of the Protestant Constitution as settled at the Reformation. But he spoke it with regret that the coun try had been totally disappointed, her hopes bad totally failed. The measure recommended to hie Majesty tended directly to overthrow the Protestant Parliament as settled at the Revolution. The assumed principles that re ligious principle should not he any bar to constitutional power, would bring into danger the Statutes of this country. It was nevertheless with this view that they were called upon to consider the claims of the Catholics. It appeared to him and to the country, that the House should have thefullest explanation of the measure tobe brought forward. That it should have the utmost time given also, for deliberation, and the greatest attention bestowed on it. —(Hear, hear.)—lt would net have been inconsistent in the Noble Duke to have stated the first day of Parliament what was the extent of the measure, and what the guards, as they are called, for the Protestant security. He hoped, however, it was not too much to ask now whether the whole of those measures were to be comprehended in one Bill, concessions, regulations, and all, or whether the concessions were to he in one, and the checks, guards, or whatever they might be called, in another. He hoped also that the House might be allowed to know in which of the 'liaises it was intended measures should originate. As to the time when those measures were to be brought forward, he should think all would be most satisfied of during the pre sent Session. He should propose, that as soon as the An nual Bills of the Army, were disposed of, which would be, he apprehended, in three weeks or a month, he should propose that his Majesty be advised to dissolve the present Parliament, and have another called.— ( Hear, hear, hear.)—This would be more satisfactory than any other, and the cs , untry would be satisfied with any measures whether it were deemed wise to pursue she measures gone with since the Revolution, or whether soy course should., be pointed out. He hoped that he slmul I not be thought unreasonable, if he at the present time expressed some answer as to the mode in which the measures were to he brought forward. The Noble Lord then presented a petition from the Archbishop and Clergy of Dublin against Emancipation. The Duke of WELLINGTON—Upon the first day of the session I had the honour of presenting to the consi deriition of your Lordships the general purport of the measures, which I expected his Majesty's servants would receive his Majesty's authority and command to introduce into Parliament. I beg leave to decline to go any further into the measures, or at the present moment to describe more accurately what those measures will be, whether con tained in one or more Bills, presented to Parliament, or whether it will be brought forward in this, or the other House. My Lords, those treasures are to be brought forward upon the responsibility of his Ma jesty's servants.—(Hear.) —We are now responsible for the advice we gave to his Majesty to mention this sub ject in the Speech of the Lords Commissioners from the Throne. We shall be responsible in conscience at least for the success of those measures ;—(llear, hear.) and when they have been adopted by this and the other House, they will become law. But, my Lords, whether responsible or not, I positively reject the charge that these measure have been suggested by fears—(Hear.)—of any thing that occurred in this or any other country. I distinctly assert, that it' ever there was a period within the lapse of twenty years, in which there was a total ab sance of all cause for fear, in consequence of what might puss on those measures, this is that period. I will nut say for what reason, but I can, and will 'prove it to be so in this clearest manner, if it should be necessary. It is true that though it may not be fear, or any dirty motives for bring forward the measures. We intend to bring them forward, toil will found them on a clear and distinct view_ for introducing this subject into this and the other House, with a view to an adjustment to the question. I beg the noble Lords to understand that in doing so, we bave not undertaken a task very agreeable to 118. I will not talk of the sacrifices which I have made myself, because they are trifling when compared with this. Bu t I must say that a difference of opinion with the Noble Lord himself is disagreeable to me. But when I look of the sacrifices of a Noble Friend near me and a night Honourable Friend in the other House, I cannot conceive what his sacrifices must be, and what must have been the sense he entertains of the inconvenience and danger of things that arise from the state of things 'n this country and Ireland, before he could adopt that which he has adopted, and is now endeavouring to carry through. Under these circum stances I entreat your Lordships to pause, to weigh this question well, to consider it well, and to come to no deci sion on it until you see what it is we shall propose to you, whether in what we shall propose, we shall not meliorate the condition of this country and Ireland, whether it will not place its Constitution on a better foundation than it has beets placed upon, since the Union with Ireland. I will not enter into the question, whether the consequences of that will injure that Throne, which I would certainly sacrifice my head to maintain, or have the effect my Noble Friend is so apprehensive of. (Hear, hear.) But of this I ail certain, that that is a question which the Noble Lords have never clearly proved, and which I think I shall prove when we conic to discuss this, that the Protestant interests are exposed to greater danger now than they will be by the measure to be brought into Parliament. The Earl of ELDOY considered that until this evening li the Noble Duke had given no information whatever to the House upon the projected measure beyond what was to be found in his Majesty's speech, and indeed he was left in doubt as to what was meant by any thing that had ken staeed just now. He would take the liberty of asking the Noble Duke again, what he was really to understand of the nature of measure. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, why I really must beg the Noble's Earl's pardon, but 1 did deny it was the intention of his Majesty's servants to bring forward the measure or measures, having for their object of what's called the Catholic Question incluoing the removal of all disahili sies, with exceptions founded on special grounds, anti that measure shall be attended by other measures, rendered necessary by the removal of disabilities, I have declined to give any further explanation, and I hope this will be con sidered satisfactory. The Earl of ELDON, then understood, that the Noble Duke meant to bring in - a Uleitiure, for the removal of all clissabilities affecting the Ronan Catholics, with certain exceptions. The Duke of WELLINGTON observed, that such was the intention. Lord HOLLAND considered that so satisfactory an an swer had been given by the Noble Duke, or reasons so sa ti-factory for not directly answering the Noble B tron's question on the doss benches (Lord Colchester), that but little was required front him in the way of observation ; with respect to the threat, however, of petitioning his Majesty, to resort to a dissolution of Parliament, this was one of the most unconstitutional notions that had evr passed through the head of any man, and which had been fully answered by a Noble Nord on a former evening. The Noble Baron had said,—what, subvert our Constitu tfon, as settled at the Revolution l —an expression such as this he (Lord Holland) won'd maintain, had not been made use of since the period of Lord George Gor don, was there any intention nn the part of the Noble Duke or any person else to subvert the Constitu tion as it had been established. He wished the Noble Baron to explain what he meant by the Protestant Constitution established at the Revolution. That succession was established at the Revolution, lint the Protestant Consti tution existed long before it. And was there a man wild enough to think that the Noble Duke of Wellington had it in contemplation to bring in a measure calculated to destroy the laws of the Protestant Constitu tion. I LEFT SPFA HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir G. COCKBURN and another Member took the oath s and their seats. The Sheriffs of the City of London presented a petition relative to London Bridge ; also another relative to the regulations of Smithfield market.—Referred to the Coir- unittec. Mr. LENNARD brought up a return respecting the effects of the sureties in the High Court of Chancery. Mr. C. BEIIKLEY presented a petition to form a market in St. Saviour's Southwark.—Referred to a Com mittee. Mr. Hoops brought up a Report on the Stratford and Bew Vestry. Sir J. AIACKINTOSH stated to the House, that with reference to the notice which he had given of a motion on the connections of this country with Portugal, in order to be out of the public reach of the great question, he should postpone it till the 26th of March. The Marquis of CHANDOS, in presenting a petition on the Catholic question, said that the people would never allow an alteration in the Constitution, and advised the House to consider well before they legislated on the ques tion. His Lordship then presented a petition aagainst the Catholics from several places in the county of Buckingham, amounting to seventy-four in number. He theh stated that having presented to the House the prayers of 7,000 of his Majesty's subjects, he should move that the petitions be printed. Lord NUGENT said he had not a word to say against th e respectability of those who had signed the petitions, nor should he have risen to offer any observation, had not the Noble Lord stated that the mass of the inhabitants of Bitchinglintn were arrayed in their opinions against Catho lic Emancipation. As some of those petitions had come from the hundreds which he represented, he ►nuFt say that rvith respect to that district the Noble Lord had been coin, pletely misinformed, if lie was told that they were oppose, the Catholic Claims. He believe!! lie laid never sinne, n discussing bis opinions. lie 11.0 l also avowed senti rents favouille to Emancipation, and notwithstanding that avowal, he stood there as the representative of 2,000 person, the inhabitants of tho , e hundreds.—(Hear, hear.) He was bound in justice to them not to allow such a state- ment to go forth unquilitied, and as a doubt seemed to exist upon the subject, he felt bound to put that question to rest..--(Flear, hear, hear.) The Marquis of CHANDOS said that the sentiments of the people of Buckingham had not changed. It the Noble Lord (Nugent) thought flirt the freeholders of Ayles bury were favourable to Catholic Emancipation, he had better mike the 'experiment at the next general election, for his own part he believed that they were not favourable to that measure. tition was getting up against Catholic Emancipation at Liverpool, but the Hon. Member was called to order, and intiirmud, that what lie had seen in a newspaper could not he received in that House. The petition might come, hut he could not only say that the general feeling in that place was decidedly in favour of granting privileges to the Ro man Catholics. [LErr srrrrxc.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL. On Saturday a charge of felony was preferred against a gentleman, who was driven to the commission of the offence in consequence of his utter inability of supporting a wife and five starving children. The case excited great com miseration. From the evidence it appeared, that at an early hour on Friday afternoon, the prisoner entered the shop of a trades man, named Bain, at Kennington, and walking cautiously towards a box in which a quantity of soap was deposited, be took from it several pieces, and hastily withdrew. The shopman, who happened to be engaged at the time, was informed by a customer of what had taken place, and he immediately followed the prisoner and secured him with the article in his possession. When the accused was placed at the bar of the office on the charge, although his appear. once in point of dress evinced distress, it was still manifest that lie had moved in a respectable sphere of life. Ile did not attempt to deny the charge, but strenuously persevered in the refusal of giving his name, or any particulars rela tive to himself, merely say ing that the wants of a wretched wife and five helpless children had driven him to the com mission of the crime. The Magistrate (Mr. HONE), on hearing the account of the unfortunate man's situation, repeatedly urged hint to disclwse his name and the place of his abode, in order that Lis family might be made acquainted with what had hap pened, as well as to give an opportunity of relieving their present necessities. The accused, however, maintained a perfect silence on the subject, declaring that be could not disgrace his family by a disclosure which woulil tend to heighten their afflictions, and make their situation even more wretched and miserable than it was. The prosecutor said, th,t provided he could ascertain the truth of what was stated relative to the distresses of the accused and his family, he should he the last man to press the charge, Ire, cri the contrary, would render All the as sistance in his power of alleviating their misfortunes. The accused seemed sensible of the commisseration ex cited in his behalf, and shed tears ; as, however, it was ne cessary to ascertain the accuracy of what had been stated, the Magistrate intimated his intetoion of remanding the ac eased until Tuesday next. The accused was then taken from the bar into the magistrate's parlour, where, after considerable entreaties on the part of Mr. Staples, the chief clerk, the unfortunate man at' length disclosed his name and the abode of his family. One of the officers was then directed to proceed to the place, and inform the accused's wife that her attendance was required at this office. The officer having executed the business upon which he was sent, returned hack and gave a lamentable picture of the distressed and miserable condition of the unhappy family, aggravated by the dreadful suspense produced in their minds owing to his absence from home the whole of the preced ing night. The wife and five children, most of whom are girls, and one of them about 15 years of age, were together in a miserable apartment in Britannia-row, in the City road. On seeing the officer, the mother exclaimed, iu a tone of alarm, Where is my husband ?" The officer having calmed her fears by informing her that he was alive, and that her presence was required at Union-hall, she burst into tears, and implored to be made acquainted with the worst. The charge :Ipon which her husband was SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS FOE. THE ENSUING WEEK.

At the time the officer visited the abode of wretchedness there was not a particle of fond - in the place, and although accustomed, from his pur suqs of life, to scenes of poverty and distress, yet he stated he never beheld a sight that was more calculated to excite compassion in the breasts of those who witnessed it than the one in the present instance. Soon afterwards the ac cused's wife, and his eldest daughter, an interesting-look ing girl, about 15 years old, came to the office, and had an interview with the magistrate, during which it. was mani fest the former was a woman possessing lady-like manners and appearance, yet her dejected looks plainly indicated the trouble and anxiety of mind under which site laboured. She spoke of the distresses of her family, brought on by the unavoidable misfortunes of her husband, as a medical prac titioner, and expressed the utmost anxiety to see bins. An order of admission into llorsetnunger lane gaol, where her husband had been previously removed, having been given to her, she and bee daughter immediately proceeded there. The complainant not being in attendance, the Magistrate, after having made some remarks on the distressing nature.of the case, gave directions that Mr. Bain should be made Ile..

Sir G. \VARRENDER said that many persons of large property in the county of Buckingham had expressed opi nions contrary to those expressed by the Noble Lord,— (Cheers.) He wished to ask to ask the Noble Lord if notice hod been giveu of those parish meetio2s, to that the matter might be known bet; wit the. petitions were sined.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.")—For his own part he never heard of them, and, therefore, he would take the petitions as expressive of the opinions of 7,000 people, and he would also take it, that the.entiments of the mass of the people were quite the contrlry. (Hear, hear.) When he heard it stated that the universal opinion of the country was hostile, he could not resist the opportunity'pf stating his opinion on the subject. The petition was then ordered to be printed. The Marquis of CHANDOS gave notice that he would move to-morrow for a call of the House fur Thursday the sth of March Colonel SIBTHORPE slid he was instructed to present a petition, most numerously and respectably signed, from the town of Kenwick, against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. He thought the numerous peti tions that were nightly presented must convince the House that the opinion of the country was against the measure ; he trusted his Majesty's Ministers would not burry this great question though the House, but would allow time fur a full discusion. Tl3e recommendation in his Majesty's speech had acted like a thunderbolt upon the public. He fully concurred in the sentiments of the petition, but felt hound to oppose the measure whenever it was brought he fore the House. Sir ROBERT HERON said the gallant Colonel in . . formed the House that they must be aware of the opinions of the people, from the number of the petitions presented against she measure ; now he would beg leave to say, that out of the 52 counties of England and Wales only two had given any opinion upon the subject. Colonel SI BTHORPE explained. Mr. SHIRLEY presented several petitions from Stour bridge, awl other places, against the Catholic Claims. Mr. ROWLAND HILL presented a petition from St. Asaph, in the county of Salopp, against further concessions to the Roman Catholics. Sir. EGERTON presented a similar petition from a village in Cheshire. Mr. I'. POTTER MACQUEEN presented a similar petition from Hitchin. Mr. W. FITZGERALD presented a petition from Kildare in favour of Emancipation. Sir JOHN NEWPORT presented seueral similar peti tions from places in the county of Waterford. Mr. S. RICE, in presenting several petitions from places in the county of Limerick in favour of the Catholic Claims, said that the petitioners were entitled to the favour able consii!eration of that House. It walla matter of great satisfaction to hear that the Association dissolved itself, as stated in the news received this day from Ireland—a fact of which he could have no doubt. He was sorry to say there were other associations which were not brought within the scope of the Bill that hail likewise come to the resolution to dissolve themselves—an example worthy of imitation by , their opponents, the Brunswick Clubs.— (Hear, hear, hear.)—These associations hail not waited for the measures to pass through Parliamenl, but had dis banded themselves. Mr. TRANT never would advise those associations formed for the support of the Constitution to dissolve themselves whilst that Constitution was in such danger. Whenever the question came before the Neuse, he would oppose it in all its stages. Mr. SYKES, in presenting a petition from Hull in fa vour of emancipation, observed that the petitioners very properly stated, that no person ought to be zubjected to civil disabilities on account of his religious principles — a Senti ment in which he (Mr. Sykes) perfectly coincied. It had been stated by an Hun. Member on a former night, that the majority of the town of Hull were against g ran ti n g Catholic Emanipation. Ile must take that opportunity for giving that petition an unqualified denial. The peti tion against measure, contasned out of the population only !bur or five hundred signatures. The'recommendation in his Majesty's Speech had not altered his opinion of the people in that part of the country ;---the ma jority were always in favour of Catholic Emancipation. He had always publicly avowed himself in favour of 'that measure, and had been twice returned to r epresent Hull in Parliament—a fact which he thou g ht pretty strongly showed the opinion of the people on that subject,— (Hear.) --At all events, said the Hon. Member, if there was that feeling against Emancipation—here I ash ! (Great laughter.) Sir. O. CAVE, id referring to a petition presented from Leicester in favour of Emancipation, said, that out of a meeting of several thousands, only one baud was held up against it ; and when the Resolution was put a second tune firma the chair, even that one hand was withdrawn. The feeling in that part of the country was very different r few years ago, and it was only natural to suppose that a similar chonge would take, and was taking place at the present time. Mr. J. WOOD said be had seen it stated in a news paper that General GascOigne - had mentioned a Counter Fes EXTRAORDINARY VICISSITUDES. NAVAL INTELLIGIII ‘TCE.

DEATH OF THE EXECUTIONER AT NEW GATE.-J. Foxton, who for 16 years has held the place of chief executioner at. Newc-ate, expired on Saturday, in the 61 at year of his age. During his period of office, this man bail executed Bellingham, Fauntleroy, Thistlewood, and his five coadjutors; Thurtle, Corder, White, the bookseller of Holborn, and numerous others of both sexes, and of every age and condition of life. From the suprosed skill, and the consequence of such frequent practice of the functionary of Newgate, this person bad often been sent down to Lancaster, Gloucester, and other distant gaolF, on capital executions. Foxton is succeeded by a man named Cheshire, who has been his assistant some years. (From the Observer.) Amongst the next batch of convicts ordered for Botany Bay is a female, the natural daughter of a Scotch noble man. The history of her sufferings, from the moment she placed herself under the protection of a husband, is strange in the extreme. Of the truth of the following particulars there is not the slightest doubt. The extraordinary nature of the case, as it was whispered about the Old BAler, during her trial, led to an inquiry ; and if the experience of misfortune be any ground on which to expect a miti gated sentence, in the instance of this unfortunate indi vidual, the mild course ought certainly to be adopted. Her name is Crossley, and she was tried the session be fore last, for bigamy, at the Old Bailey, and convicted ; and it was reported that she hail bees a general dealer in HUNTING !

LLOYD, THE FUGITIVE.—About fifteen years ago, nearly a mile down the river Severn, from 'Tewkesbury flour mills, on the right bank, was found a hat, with a paper in it, purpoAing that the writer was in such embarrassed circumstances that he could never bear to see his employer more. soon afterwards a body was found in the river, which appeared to have been some time dead. It proved to be the remains of James Lloyd, the chief and confidential clerk of the extensive flour manufac tory at Tewkesbury Mills, carried on under the firm of Jenkins and Co. This James Lloyd was the father of the Jas. Lloyd, who is the partner in the flight of Stephenson, the banker. In the history of the early lives of the father and the sou, there appears to be a strong coincidence.— The father left a widow and seven sons, who are doing well at Birmingham, and maintaining unimpeachable charac ters. There is a respectable family now in Tewkesbury of the same name, and in the flour line, but not related to the fugitive.— Gloucester Mercury. BIRTHS.
