I'OLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. :Wm Banks and John Emery alias Potts, charged with t he burglary at Mr. Campion's, at Waltham Cross, some Se since, underwent a final examination before Sir R. ~,aftx, this morning, in the front room of this office.— trnery was discharg e d, an d Ba n k s comm itt e d to N e wgate foi trial. William Banks, Samuel Cottrell, and James Smith, klso underwent a long private examination, on the charge nreaking and entering the house of Mr: Warrington, at West Moulsey, in November last. Some very important evidence was, we understood, adduced, relating to the identity of the prisoners, but the particulars did not t tanapi re. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.

The Watermen, who do not like to submit to the regulations of the new Act relating to Watermen, and who Wish to have the old system, under which they could im- Pose upon and insult the public, restred, occasionally show some of the spi r it by which they o are actuated, at Gravesend, where they have, of late, been in great busi ness. A few days ago several of them were summoned before the Mayor of that town, for having violated the tegUlations in various ways, particularly as regarded their Conduct upon the arrival of steamers. Martin,, the beadle, was proceeding in his evidence "bast one of the defendants„ when he suddenly received lehat is called in slang-language a " topper" from him..__ The beadle immediately tumbled prostrate at the feet of the IlayOr, and the Town Clerk approached the assailant for the purpose of preventing any further violence.—This fu nctionary, however, calculated too sanguinary upon his Power to quell the fury of the waterman, for as soon 1$ he approached, in the name of peace, be received such k salute as astonished and confounded him ; an officer who int erfered shared the same fate, but at length the defendant Was secured and placed at the bar.

The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE left their residence in Bushy Park yesterday morning, for Brighton, where it was expected their Royal Highnesses would pass the night, and this morning embark in a steam packet for Dieppe; at which town it is expected their Royal Highnesses will be joined by the Duke of MEIN.. INGEN, the brother to the Royal Duchess. The Austrian Ambassador, the Spanish Mi nister, and the French Charge d'Affaires, had interviews with the Earl of ABIRDEEN yesterday, at the Foreign Office. Viscount STRANGPORD transacted business on Thurday at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Gazette of last night contains the ap pointment of the Marquis CONYNGIIAM to the office of Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle, in the room of the Earl of HARRINGTON. Mr. KEMBLE has received a letter from Miss PATON, offering, as her provincial engagements will not allow her to accept one in town before Christmas, to come purposely to London between the Gloucester and Birming ham festivals to act one night gratuitously in aid of the fund required to avert the calamity with which Covent garden Theatre has been threatened. Madame Me LIBRAN GARCIA has also, in the kindest manner, volunteered her eminent services on the same occasion. COUNTY FIRE OFFICE RETURNS.—We are requested to state that all persons who in 1828, and in preceding years, had been seven years insured, may re ceive their usual returns of 20 per cent. at the Office in Regent-street, or from the respective Agents through whom they insured. Mr. COOPER'S new work " The Borderers," promises to be more interesting to the English public than even the most successful of this celebrated Author's nov, Is. The subject is connected with the strange fortunes of an English family who were among the earliest settlers in the American wildernesses. Dr. DODDRIDGE.—The private letters of this great man will soon be laid before the public. The majority of Dr. DODDRIDGH'S correspondents were ladies; and we hear that readers in general will not be a little sur prised to view the grave and learned author of " The Family Expositor" in the light of a preux chevalier. But piety is not hostile to mirth ; the devotion of Dr. DODDRIDGIE was too pure to be ascetic, and his letters, which are said to be models of the epistolary style, will en dear his memory in the breasts of the thousands who have profited by his religious writings. Mr. WILSON, of Wansford, had the misfor tune yesterday se'nnight to experience the compound frac ture of one of his legs, in consequence of a snare which he was driving in a gig from, Peterborough taking fright at Thorpe toll-bar, and when reined in, kicking violently. Mr. Witsorr jumped out, and met with the severe acci dent we have mentioned.—Lincoln Mercury. There is a talk of some misunderstanding having arisen betwixt Sir GEORGE CLERIC and Lord MELVILLE, respecting the representation of the county.__ The former, according to report, was to continue member only until Mr. DUNDAS, of Arniston, came of age, and was otherwise in circumstances to supply his place. The latter, it is said, considers himself now in the situation alluded to, but Sir GEORGE demurs to the proposed re linquishmena of his senatorial honours. We know not to what degree of credit these reports are entitled, but we take it for granted that the wishes of the freeholders should have some small weight in the matter.—Scotsman. In such an efficient state is our navy at the present moment, that it is believed fifty sail of the line could be sent to sea in two months. The supply of naval and military stores at Woolwich is immense; the cannon and shot only in the Warren occupy many acres of land-- and when the late Emperor ALEXANDER passed through it on his visit to England, he exclaimed, " This is truly a great country ; there is enough here to make her the ar bitress of Europe. NAPOLEON'S threats were indeed vain when directed against such a power." Sound truisms these ; and they would he found just as applicable now as they were fifteen years ago.—Berks Chronicle. At the Exchange to-day wheat sold at from rs. to 31s. A gentleman from Kilmaronock sold a quan ity at the latter price.— Glasgow Chronicle. A considerable stir took place in Boston corn market on Wednesday, by the unusual number of purchasers, several of whom had come from a great dis tance. We have heard that one gentleman came from Dor setshire, and there were several from distant parts of York shire, Nottinghamshire, and the adjacent counties.—The appearance of these merchants caused the price of corn to advance. No less than 87 ♦essels, laden with grain, have sailed from Boston for the London market during the last fortnight. 'fhe money laid out in corn, within the week ending on Monday amounts to the sum of thirteen thousand four hundred and seventy-four pounds.—Lincoln Herald WELSH JUDICATURE.—A meeting has been held in Denbigh on the subject of the proposed alteration of the Circuits, &c. It will be seen, by our report, that Mr. GRIFFITH, of Garn, proposed some resolutions appa rently hostile to the proposed alterations; we say " parently .."-for looking strictly at them, and Mr. GRIF FITH'S own admissions afterwards, his opposition was, as Sir Warimi W. WS NN judiciously said, rather a differ ence in expressions and modes than in things. Declama tion and an appeal to prejudices were not consonant with Mr. GRIFFITH'S good taste ; but these were contrasted by the sound understanding and correct view taken by the Hon. Member for Montgomeryshire. The grave subject on which this meeting was held, was the most unfit of all others for gaudy declamation and an appeal to passions and local feelings. Mr. GRIFFITH said—" Gee plan is—the uniting the counties of Denbigh and Flint, and holding the Sessions alternately at Ruthin and Mold. This mea sure is subversive of eur dearest rights. The statute of 27th Henry VIII. which may be called the Magna Charta of Wales, secures to us the enjoyment of equal rights, privileges, and laws, with the King's English sub jects. On what grounds then are we alone to be deprived of the inestimable birthright which every:other British sub ject enjoys, of having justice administered to him in his own county? Why should we, whether in the capacity of suitors or jurors, be dragged before a distant tribunal ? On what principles of law or equity do the framers or supporters of such a measure, in direct violation of the Charter of our liberties, dare to draw so invidious a dis tinction between us and our English neighbours ?"—Now it so happens that " every British subject" does not enjoy the birthright which is here celebrated. In Scotland, two, three, and sonyatirnes four counties join together, and try all their prisoners at one place. The plan is found more economical ; as one gaol and one Court Room serves for all, and it is attended with no practical inconvenience. The county of Lanark, containing a population little short of half a million, has yet the counties of Renfrew and Dumbarton joined to it in its judicial Circuits. —But what benefit does the principality derive from its present judica when all important trials are taken out of it. Ask '-nil defendant in the case of Wynn v. Blair ? ick. NEW POLICE. DISCONTENTS AND RESIGNATIONS AMONGST THE MEMBERS. (From the Morning 4clvLrtiser.) Yesterday the strength of the Metropolitan Police Force as at present established, was again mustered, preparatory to being placed on active duty in Old Palace-yard. The greater part of the day was consumed in drilling them, and allotting their clothing, which, in addition to the blue frock coat and pantaloons, is to consist of a uniform hat and short Wellington boots, provided by the contractor, and to be also paid for by instalments out of their pay. The spot selected for their drill consists of a long strip of ground, commencing from the yard in front of West minster Hall, and abutting on the Thames. The men entered it, under the orders of their serjeants, by small divisions at a time, and after spending an hour or so there they were re-placed by similar numbers, who went through the exercise, which consisted principally of marching and forming small squares. Great discontents prevail amongst the subordinates, in consequence of what they conceive to be the extreme igour of the regulations, and the onerous and unremitting duties imposed upon them for what they designate an in considerate and inadequate remuneration. The heads of their alleged grievances are several; first, they complain of the complete monopoly of their time both by day and night ; second, their not being permitted a momentary re laxation from one year's end to the other, for even when off duty they must be in a precise spot, where, should any emergency arise, they may be found on the instant ; and their third source of murmuring arises front being obliged at the outset to pay for their clothing, and their being placed in a worse situation than many of their companions, some of whom are pensioners from the army, enjoying an additional income, fluctuating from seven shillings per week and upwards, and who are thus, in the event of their dismissal, comparatively provided for. The consequence of these regulations have been, that over 60 of the men, on hearing of them read, gave up their situations. As a manifestation of the disappointed spirit that prevails, an anecdote was yesterday in circula tion in the vicinity of the drilling ground. One of the men, while on drill, not keeping his feet in a proper posi tion, was checked by his serjeant, who, in order to re duce them to a correct angle, gently laid his cane upon his toes, for the purpose of pointing out to him how he should stand. Scarcely had he done so, when the police-man be came angry, and swearing that he'd be but he would go to Queen-square for an assault warrant, forth with abandoned the ranks for that purpose. RUMOURS OF RESIGNATIONS IN THE POLICE. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We are assured that the statement which appeared in yesterday's Chronicle of the resignation of twenty-eight in dividuals who had been engaged in the Police under the immediate inspection of Herring, is wholly unfounded; and that, in fact, the number who have receded from the whole force, from different causes, falls far short of that stated to have withdrawn from one section. Other state ments of the men being dissatisfied with the rules and re gulations, and their being annoyed by the drilling, &c. have been made with an equal show of truth. We have taken pains to ascertain the effect which the promulgation of the rules has had upon the men, and the result bears us out in asserting that they were received with the most per fect satisfaction, and that in no one instance has any re signation been tendered on either of the grounds so indus triously circulated.

Banks, rib bon-manufacturers, of this city (Coventry), having some business with one of the ribbon-weavers at Nuneaton, wa• in his house, when a mob of 500 or 600 persons assem blsd in the street, using the most dreadful threats and im precations. The people in the house immediately locked the door, but it was soon burst open, and the rioters rushing up stairs, where Mr. Taylor had gone for safety, seized him, and after threatening to cut him down with a bill-hook, forced him down stairs, by jumping on him as he stood across the landing. They then kicked Mr. Tay lor most severely, and dragged him out of the house, to place him on an ass, brought for the occasion. The un fortunate man when put on the ass, with his face towards the tail, was pelted with filth of every description, his clothes were torn to pieces, and he was twice knocked off the ass to the ground. Finally, these rioters were pro ceeding with Mr. Taylor to a brook, to throw him in, When he was fortunately rescued by the chief constable. We have heard that the alleged cause of this outrage was, not that the prices of Messrs. Banks were lower than others, but a report that Mr. Taylor had reported to the parish officers of Nuneaton that some of the persons re ceiving relief might obtain employment. Mr. Taylor, we are sorry to say, has received considerable injury, and is compelled to have surgical assistance. On Tuesday morning, the weavers mustered strongly in the Market-place; from whence they proceeded through the town, calling on all their brother artizans to " strike ;" with which request most of them complied. In the course of the day, a meeting was announced by the public crier, to take place at the Castle Inn, at six o'clock, at which the manufacturers and undertakers were requested to attend. A considerable number assembled, and Mr. W. Hood, a respectable manufacturer, was unaniumusly called to the chair. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, and re commended :the weavers to be peaceable and orderly in their conduct, in which case only they could hope for as sistance. The following list of prices was then adopted, and a committee of twelve persons formed, to collect sub triptions for the most distressed among the operatives EIGHT LEISH SATINS.-rER GROSS. 161 2ss. 21d 365.

On Wednesday a number of weavers collected, and pro ceeded from the Market.plice to Bulkington, and from thence to Bedworth, increasing every mile, and at each place they made a stand at every shop, and enjoined the hands not to do another stroke, till the wages were ad justed ; which was universally complied with. In the evening the Bedworth masters and men had a meeting at the Swan public-house, where it was arranged that the Bedworth and Nuneaton masters should proceed on Thurs day to Coventry, and endeavour to come to an arrange ment with the Coventry Manufacturers. In the evening, at Nuneaton, a general meeting of the inhabitants took place, when the following note was read from the foreman of Mr. Eyre, the occupier of the Bed worth Mill Factory : " Gentlemen, I undertake, in the absence of Mr. Eyre, to agree to any price which will be in future paid by the other masters; indeed we have not at any time paid at the mill so low a rate of wages as most of the men have been working for. EXTRAORDINARY SPORT. On Tuesday last, Sir A. Chichester's hounds met at Dulverton, to run a stag. It was at first intended to try Haddon covers, but on intelligence of a good stag at Hawk ridge, this was abandoned. The pack were then moved to Hynam, and two couple of hounds taken to the potatoe gardens, in which the deer was supposed to have fed ; on reaching the wood close by, they soon acknowledged the scent, and carrying it to the Dunsbrook, hit him across, and presently roused him in Whiterocks. At first he took the top of the cover, but soon turned down, crossing the Dunsbrook and the river Buie into Mounsey Castle; here the pack were laid on, when they immediately found another stag, who beat the covers so as completely to dis turb them. The consequence was, the division of the pack into four parts, each having a deer. A fine hind with one portion took the moor, but was so hard pressed, as to be obliged to give it up, and make for the river, which she reached just under Withpoo!e, and was run into about a mile from that village. Sir Arthur was with this part of the pack, and at first ordered that she should be preserved on account of her calf; but as she proved a barrener, and not expecting any other death, and deer so plenty, she was killed. On reaching Dulverton, it was discovered that a brace of stags had fallen victims, one of them the fattest killed for the last sixteen years. It was impossible to pre vent the destruction, the hounds having severely wounded them. To the true sportsman this was any thing but a good day's :sport ; but the pedestrians, who always muster strong in that part of the hunting district, were never so highly gratified.—Bath Herald. ROBBERY AT THE BETTING ROOMS.- At the Mansion-house, yesterday, after a third examina tion, the Mayor and Magistrates have again remanded THOMAS JENKINS, as the principal in the above robbery. The whole of the parties concerned are well known to the police. OwElr CHARLEY is in custody at Birmingham, and our chief officer, Mr. Trmars, is gone there to bring him before the Mayor. We refrain from publishing the evidence, fearing it might frustrate the ends of justice. From the evidence, however, it appears that THOMAS JENKINS was, some months ago, waiter at the George Inn, Lichfield, where he was apprehended for passing counterfeit sovereigns, and is extensively connected with burglars and house-breakers. Latterly he was in the ser vice, as head-waiter, of the keeper of that notorious flash house, opposite Drury-lane Theatre. We are warranted in believing, that the police are in the right pursuit of the stolen property.—Doncaster Gazette. The cotton manufacture in this quarter since last notice has not much varied; however, intelligent men in the business, without venturing to state any decided amendment, consider that the crisis is past, and that the prospects of the master cotton spinners ate a shade brighier. The strike of the Lancashire spinners has tended to clear the market. In Manchester and Salford there are at present 1,200,000 spindles silent. In this neighbourhood there was not a mill built this )ear ; and there are six or seven works that, from various causes, have for some time ceased working. This diminution of the usual quantity of cotton-twist manufactured in Eng land and Scotland has nearly cleared the market of su perfluous stock, and more than one work has in conse quence recommenced spinning full hours.— Glasgow Citron joie. (Signed " WILLIAM AYMER, Bedworth." "This letter was received with great applause. One of the resolutions of the meeting was to " present an address to the Mayor, Corporation, and ►manufacturers of Coventry, requesting their co-operation in causing the scale of prices above quoted, to be adopted." The address Was signed by nearly '7O of the most respectable inhabi tants of the place. Observer Office, Thursday Morning. This morning the weavers again assembled at - nine •'clock, in Bedworth, to the number of about 6,000. They collected together from Balkington, Shilton, Ryton, and all the adjoining villages, paraded the neighbourhood, and prevented all the weavers from working. in one shop at the Black Banks, they took out atnan of the name of Butcher, and a woman named Smith, whom they donkied ; the woman fell from the animal in a fit, and is said to be much injured. Several persons assumed the office of crier, and went through the parish of Foleshill calling on the weavers to assemble at the New Inn. Various depreda tions are reported to have been committed. It is said that they intend coming into Coventry this day ; if so, it is the intention of the Magistrates to prevent their passing the toll-bar of this city. It is also the intention of the Magistrates to take the most effectual measures to stop these riotous proceedings. Several of the weavers have been apprehended, and one man, named Bird, has been committed to Warwick gaol, and several others held to bail. (From the Coventry _Herald of yesterday.) COVENTRY, FRIDAY MORNING.—The Magistrates and inhabitants generally have been in a state of alarm since Wednesday morning last, in consequence of a report that the wearers from Nuneaton, Bedworth, and the neigh bourhood, were coming in a body into Coventry. The Magistrates immediately prepared to resist, in the most vigorous manner, any such attempt, by ordering the whole of the police force to be in active preparation ; and also in forming Major Mansell, Commanding Officer of the 3d Dra goon Guards, tiat it was not improbable that the services of the military might be required ; as, if riotous proceedings were resorted to, they should certainly suppress them by the powerful arm of the law. However, at present, the mob have not been here ; but yesterday a deputation from Nuneaton, Bedworth, Bulkington, Attleborough, Ather atone, and Foleshill, arrived in Coventry, and had an in terview with our Magistrates, by whom they were told, that one from each place might go to the manufacturers and urge their requests ; but a tumultuous assemblage would not be allowed. The men in a respectful manlier received the communication, and promised to abide by it. They had an interview with part of the masters, and a list is now under consideration. FOLESIEILL.-Within these few days most of the weavers employed in this place have ceased working, a man having gone round part of the parish, and announced, that if any persons continued their work, they would incur the weavers' displeasure, and some have since undergone the punishment of "donke,ying." IMPROVEMENT OF THE PORT OF LIME RICK.--It gives us more than ordinary pleasure to be able to announce to our readers that some of the improvements recommended by our fellow-citizen, THOMAS STEELE, Esq., have been ordered by the Chamber of Commerce to be put into immediate execution. The Chamber has ex pressed the highest approbation of his plan in all its details ; and the improvements to be adopted on the moment are the establishing a Light-House on the Beeve Rocks, and the introduction of a novel mode of counteracting the effect of adverse winds, which have heretofore produced such in auspicious retardation in that part of the river called " The Hole." Mr. STEELS has received the thanks of the Lon don Society of Civil Engineers, of which he is a member, for the essay which he published describing his plan of im provement ; and it is particularly gratifying to find, by his (Mr. S.'s) conversations at our Office, that our highly talented and public spirited representative, THOMAS SPRING Rice, Esq., when he was Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, made the most strenuous exertions, with the other Members of the Government, to have this plan of improvement of the port of Limerick put in execu tion.—Limerick Evening Post. A LIFE PRESERVED, AND ITS VALUE ES TIMATED BY THE OWNER.-On the 28th ult., at nine o'clock in the evening, as some young men were on the banks of the Wye, near Builth, the river at the time being much overflowed, they heard a voice from the oppo site side of the water crying out in distress for assistance. The young men, much alarmed, with their utmost speed, ran near a mile, procured a light, and went to the place where they thought they heard the voice, and immediately discovered a person up to his neck in the river and nearly exhausted, holding by a small bough. The young men with promptitude, and at the risk of their lives, rescued him from a watery grave, as doubtless if a few minutes more had elapsed he could not longer have supported him self, and would inevitably have been drowned. He was carried to the Crown Inn, Builth, where every possible attention was paid him. The landlord of the inn, actuated by a proper feeling, gave the young men and those who assisted them five quarts of cu rw, but when the reckon ing was to be paid, the person whose life they had saved would psy for only four quarts, at the same time observ ing it was enough and too much for their trouble ! ! Bath ileralci. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is believed in some quarters, that the Cork meeting for Church reform, which was alluded to in our Paper of Thursday last, will be fol lowed by others having the same object. We know not, with any certainty, how that may be, but the object is not unworthy of support by conscientious and zealous Protestants. There can be no attempt more wicked or andaciow than that of representing as enemies of the Established Church those who simply profess the wish to see a remedy for the abuses which have crept into it. It is easy to raise an outcry against the most religious and virtuous men in the kingdom asrevilers of the Clergy and spoilers of Church property, for only recommending that better pastors should be appointed to valuable benefices than those who sometimes disgrace the possession of them by their disreputable lives, and that better incomes should be allotted out of the general fund, to a large proportion of Clergymen, whose labours in the cause of Christianity, and whose punctual and edify ing discharge of their duties, well merit a share at least of those rewards which others reap without having in any measure toiled for them. It was not without strong evidence in the state of Ireland to justify friendly feelings towards the resolutions adopted by the Pro testant reformers at Cork, that we ventured to throw out a decided opinion upon the necessity of examining, with a view to purge, the condi tion of the Irish Church Establishment. We do not talk of commuting tithes for equivalent property under a different form, because it seems to us, that since the enactment of the composi tion law, the most impolitic and unfortunate feature of the tithe system has been to a great extent got rid of. Nevertheless, there have been dignitaries of the English Church who openly and strenuously advised the exchange of tithes for some other species of provision. Bishop Watson, the ablest Prelate of the last half century, writes thus to the Duke of Rut land, the latter nobleman being Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in the year 1787: . . " I am a friend to a commutation, because I am a friend to charity and good neighbourhood ; I wish the commutation to be in land, because I would hare the means of the clergy certain, and not dependent on the fluctuation in the value of money. The c►y against tithes has not arisen from any extortion of the clergy, either in this kingdom or in Ireland; but it does now subsist ►n both countries, and it ob structs in both the Christian utility of the Ministry, and on that account I wish to see the occasion of such obstruction removed." There were others, not Clergymen, though much revered (for sundry reasons) by divers of the Clergy, who did not affect to regard church property as a thing quite sacred and intangible. No less a personage than Mr. Pitt submitted to Dr. Watson, through the Archbishop of. Can terbury,—hear this, ye Pitt worshippers !—a plan for selling the NS hole tithe of the country ; and how, and wherefore ? As to the " where fore,"— for a vulgar stockjobbing trick—" to serve public credit," id est, to raise the funds, — a worthy motive for the great founder of modern church and kingship. Then as to the " how," —why, by selling the title at an under value, — that is, robbing the Church, and vesting the proceeds in 3 per Cent. Consols, therewith to pay the Clergy. We extract the statement from the life of that distinguished Bishop, who says that alter certain observations of his upon the scheme, " he heard no more about it :" " In January, 1799, I received from the Arch bishop of Canterbury a paper which had been sent to him by Mr. Pitt, and was desired to deliver my opinion on the subject. The paper contained a plan for the sale of the tithe of the country, on the same principle that the land-tax had beet: offered for sale in the preceding Session of Parliament. It was pro posed that the money arising from the sale of the tithe should be vested in the funds, in aid of public credit, and the clergy were to receive their income from the funds; the income, however, was not to be a fixed income which could never be augmented, but was to be so adjusted as, at different periods, to admit an increase according to the advance in the price of grain. This plan was not introduced into Parliament : it met, I believe, with private opposi tion from the Bishops, though I own it had my ap probation; but that approbation was founded on very different principles from that of aiding public credit. I did not indeed clearly see how, if the full value *as given for the tithe, that credit would be assisted thereby. I remember having said to Mr. Arthur Young on the occasion, that I for one never would give my consent, and that I thought the Houses of Parliament never would give theirs to the sale of the tithe, unless its full value was paid for it. ' Then,' said he, there is an end of the whole business; for unless the people in the west, who are now most clamorous against tithe, are al lowed to purchase at the price they new pay by composition, they will on their knees beg Mr. Pitt to let things continue as they are.' " But there are other points on which we do heartily concur with Bishop Watson—when he appears, not like Mr. Pitt as a disturber of the principle of church property, but as a reformer of abuses in its application. " Pluralities and non-residence," exclaims his Lordship, " are scandals in the Christian church, as a church, and injurious to those interests of the State, for the promotion of which it is at the expense of maintaining a clergy." Now of pluralities it is asserted, that they are less prevalent in Ireland than throughout this country. Of pluralities in name, perhaps, the allegation may be well found ed. Nevertheless, what are " unions" but plu ralities under a thin disguise ? When many livings are united under one denomination, what is the possessor but a pluralist of the most ex ceptionable nature, for he is a smuggler of plu ralities. The holder of several united livings cannot do the duty of all of them. The pari shioners of some of the livings thus brought together in unholy matrimony must be without the benefit of those religious services for which the Protestant Church professes to have been established, but the want of which assuredly does not exempt the same destitute pari shioners from the rigorous execution of tithe. Here, then, is the proper income of the church diverted by its own ministers to purposes not ecclesiastical,—to purposes profane,—to sacri. legions purposes—inasmuch as it is to super sede a resident, and laborious, and effective clergy, by one which does not labour, and which does not reside, and which to any Christian end or usefulness, might as well be a Pagan priest hood, ministering to idolators in China. This is the true spoliation of church property; this is the true source of the spread and duration of Irish Popery. The revenues of the Church have been plundered by those who are not real churchmen,—tithes, the lawful support of the clergy, have been " commuted" into corrupt pensions to absentee profligates and coxcombs. The real harvest of the Protestant church, the faith and affections of a Christian people, has been loft for the sickle of the Popish priesthood ; and this abominable system is justified and bol stered up, as part and parcel of our Protestant ascendancy. Well may the honest fw neosrtaad andmronglr(iise. i l noblemen and gendemo cop mind a redress of such grievances, when it is such that constitute the intrinsic dangers of the church.— Times. There is an amusing instance in Lord Primate Boulter's Letters of what Clergymen too often mean by the good of the Church. Writing to the Archbishop of Canterbury (1737), he says : —" Several in their discourses, and some que ries that are handed about in writing, seem to design taking away some undoubted rights of the Clergy ; and, among other things, they seem to design taking away from Bishops, if not part of their lands, yet at least all fines. How much the Crown would suffer, if such things go on, by losing the weight such Bishops must have by their estates and authority at present, I need only suggest." The Church, with his Grace, is merely an engine for supporting the Ministry, and the weight of the Bishops is made to de pend on the amount of their property. Lord Mountcashel, on the other hand, seems to think that the principle which ought to govern the dis tribution of Church property is the maintenance of an able and effective body of teachers of the people, and not the increase of Ministerial or Opposition influence in Parliament. With Primate Boulter,'a bad Church is such a Church as Lord Mountcashel would have ; for the payment of the working Clergy in a suitab!e manner would diminish the fund which forms the inducement and gives the power to Bishops to support Ministers weightily in the House of Lords. The instruction of the people is the main object of the one, the instruction of the people is at variance with the object of the other. Which is the true Church ? Lord Mount cashes, which serves religion, or Primate Boul ter's, which serves the Administration for the time being ? Another specimen of what a Lord Primate understands by clerical duty, may not be irrelevant. In a letter to the Duke of New castle, 4th March, 1724, he says, " Your Grace knows very well that I was very content with what I had in England, and my just expectations there ; and that it was purely in obedience to Ws Majesty's pleasure that I came hither ; and now I am here, the only thing that can make me uneasy, is, if I should not be enabled to carry on his Majesty's services here ; the prospect of doing which is the greatest comfort I have in my pre sent station. But if the Bishoprics here are to be disposed of elsewhere, without leaving me room for any thing more than (as it may happen) ob jecting against a person who may be sent over to the best promotions here, when I have done so ; and if I he not allowed to form proper dependencies here, to break the present Dublin faction on the Bench, it w ill b e i mpo4s ibl e f or me to serve his Majesty f urt h er t h an i n my single capacity. Ido not speak this as if I did not think there are some on the English Bench that would do very well at Dublin, and would heartily join with me in promoting his Majesty's measures ; or that I do not esteem it wise gradu ally to get as many English on the Bench here as can decently be sent hither ; but that I think ' is not a suf. fici being ent qualificationontheEiiglisifloßr ecioicmhhalglotno the best e pro motions here ; and that an impudent person may easily be tempted by Irish flattery, to set him self at the head of the Archbishop of Dublin's • party, in opposition to me." Who would de scend from such lofty considerations as these to. the humble object of providing for the spiritual instruction of the people ! The Dublin Eve ning Post has named happily enough the wink begun so auspiciously by Lord Mountcashel, the Third Reformation. It certainly wears a better look than the Second.—Morning Chronicle. . In another part of our colums will be found an account of disgraceful tiotings of the riband weavers of Nuneaton, in the neighbourhood of . Coventry. We noticed some time ago similar disturbances of the weavers in the city of Co ventry, and deprecated the weak conduct of the Magistracy, who not only did not interfere to preserve butaetu a t l he p l yre e c a e c i e v , by e da any deputation vigorous m frn eas m u r t e h s e , rioters, while in a state of resistance to the laws —held a friendly parley with them—and have since been presented with an address of thanks for their kindness and good counsel. That kindness has, however, led to the successful en forcement of the claims of the rioters in several instances. The example has also had the effect of exciting the weavers of Nuneaton to disturb the peace, and commit outrages of a most vio lent and cruel nature. One instance deserves pblaerttlica in n ul ti r notice. la A streets, and of 500 d n attacke or 600 ass d a hunsei e n n t i c which a Mr. Taylor, foreman to Messrs. Bankes, riband-manufacturers, had fled for re fuge from their fury. The rioters hurst open the door—rushed up stairs—seized the un fortunate man, and, after threatening to cut j w um itl p i in a g bill-hook, forced edhim down stood upon the landing place ; they th en ki c k e d severely, dragged him out of th e h ouse, awl placed him on an ass, which th ey had brought for the occasion. Whil e carr i e d ou the ass, with his f a c e t o t h e t a il, t h ey pelteAl him with him stairs, b downy all manner of filth, tore his clothes to pieces,. and knocked him twice off the animal to the ground. In the conclusion, they were taking him to the brook to throw him in, where pro bably his sufferings would have been terminated for ever, when the chief constable came to the rescue, and saved him from the hands of his cowardly and inhuman tormentors. This bar. barous practice is always resorted to on those occasions by the rioters in Coventry and its neighbourhood, to terrify the masters and eon-t -pel them to submit to their demands. 'I hey call it donkeying, and it sometimes ends in the death of the party. But it is not men only that are treated in this manner —women are outraged in a similar way by the ruffians, who disgrace the name of man. The following instance shocks' us at the idea of such barbarians defiling LIP:: so il of En g l an d. "I n one shop, at tlth Black Banks, they took out a man of tho name of Butcher, and a woman named Smith, whom they donkeyed. The woman fell from the animal in a fit, and is said to be much injured." Th ese r i ots at N uneaton, we are confident, would not have happened, if the constituted authorities of Coventry had acted with vigour and determination in suppressing the previous riots in that city. The worst policy that those who are intrusted with the preserva tion of the laws can act upon, is that which makes see ' ep ‘ the l mise r i es on yas those concessions to the brut e f orce o f popu l ar intimi dation. It is sure t o b eget more dangerous mischiefs than tho se w hi c h i t appears, for the i f o t m h e o n n t, lan to uc a ,i allay. We classes can s feelas d fok who are loudest in the expressions of their sym pathy ; but to encourage them in such proceed ings would be to hurry th em on to their own ruin—to make that misery which many of them now suffer more extensive, and perhaps wholly irreparable. It is the duty of Magistrates, at every risk, to assert the dignity of the violated laws—aod when they hue restored b peacesar
