If we had never before been convinced of the necessitt of conceding Emancipation, the speeches of Messrs. MOORE and GRATTAN last night in the House of Commons, would have gone far to confirm our opinions on that point. These Gentlemen, in the course of a discussion, arising out of the presen tation of some petition, indulged in severe tirades against the conduct of the Irish Protestant and Ca- tholic Priesthood. Mr. MooRE reprobated the inter ference of the Catholic Clergy in matters purely poli tical ; and Mr. GRATTAN replied by asserting that the Brunswick Parsons had set them the example. The discussion was kept up for some time in this zealous spirit, and on those who are gifted with reflection, must have impressed this salutary truth—that a state of things which, in a solemn assembly of the nation, justifies the reprobation of either Protestant or Catholic Clergymen, cannot but be fraught with imminent danger to the community. Here there- fore rises a new argument for the expediency of con cession. So long as either Church is unavoidably mixed up with political discussion—so long as its mo tives can be questioned, its tenets decried, its mem bers exposed to the zeal of party spirit—so long will it lose in public opinion, and descend in 'the grade of national influence. Let the Protestant Church extend its toleration, and that of the Papist be content with equality, and both will benefit by the change, the former especially, which, as its doctrines are based on enlightened and immutable truth, will acquire a proportionate national ascendancy. It is intolerance only that can ever sap its foundations. Our City Correspondent reports, that the Duke of WELLINGTON and most of the Ministers have gone down, this morning, to the KING at Windsor. The Allgeineine Zeilung of the 25th of February gives the two following letters from Constantinople, both at variance; but if we may believe the first, the prospect of another campaign is more likely than ever : CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 26. (From a Mercantile Letter.) A few days ago the Porte received accounts from the camp of the Grand Vizier. According to which the Turks had surprised a Russian post at Kouslidjik, near Yarns, and killed or made prisoners 900 men, and likewise taken seven cannon. This news was spread with the rapidity of lightning, and increased the enthusiasm of the caravan that set out on the 24th for Mecca, which is to pray for the success of the Ottoman arms. The Sultan does every thing to inflame the military ardour of his people. The levying and organiiation of troops continue with great activity and promise a sanguinary campaign. It is con fidently affirmed that in March the Sultan will go to th• Danube. For some days past there has been a great demand for Spanish dollars, because commercial letters from Odessa affirm (what we consider to be very improbable) that the exportation of corn to Constantinople will shortly be per mitted again, because the southern provinces of the Russian Empire suffer by keeping their corn a scarcity of money, as we do of corn, and the Russian Government is dis posed to put ar: cud to this state of things for financial reasons. Meantime, letters from Smyrna have brought word that forty ships, laden with corn, had arrived there from Egypt, the cargoes of which are to be conveyed hither by land. The silver coin lately put into circulation has been called in again, because the people were dissatisfied , with it. The Government also endeavours to suppress tha spirit of usury. A baker, whose bread was found to be too bad, was executed! lately. From the I lth to thell26th of January seven ships, under various flags, arrived here. CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 26. (From another Mercantile Lettur.) Since the departure of the Russian fl ,g of truce the hopes of peace entertained at Pera have continued to in crease. It is affirmed that the answer of the Divan sent to St. Petcrshurgh is a tolerably conciliatory spirit, though the Porte desires to know the basis of the negocia tions. With respect to the negotiations of M. Jaubert the most favourable reports are in circulation. So mud] seems certain, that M. Jaubert is satisfied with the pro gress of his mission so far. The Porte, it seems, has de• dared itself ready to treat with English and French Com tnissioners on the affairs of Greece, and the return of the Ambassadors of those two nations is therefore shortly ex pected ; meantime the preparations for the next campaign are very great. VIENNA, FES. ; Bank Shares: The Chronicle of this morning contains the fol lowing paragraph, which we merely quote for the purpose of reminding some of the Ultra-Tory Journals that eve stated more than a month ago that the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, my; engaged in framing a Bill for the settlement of the Catholic Question, and which these well-informed Journals denied with more zeal than judgment. Like another veracious authority they now believe and tremble : " We believe fle following account will prove accurate in every material point, both as regard. , the person employ ed, virt ate qflicii, iu the drawing up of the Bill for the re lief of the Roman Catholics, and - also as accounting for the delay that h is occurred in carrying into effect the changes contemplated in Om Deputment of the Administra tion. When the Duke of Wellington. had come to the determination of sul,witting a Bill fur Catholic Emanci pation to the cotisideratien of Parliament,. lie in . .the first instance naturally made application to the Attorney- General, as the proper person to prepare an instrument of such importaneo. Sir Charles 'Wetherell begged to be allowed to &olio • taking any part a Measilre to w hich lie felt an unconquerable and conscientious aversion. The Premier immediately turned to the Solicitor-General, who at once assented, and wins is, in fact, the person who has prepared the forthcoming Bill. Sir Charles Wetherell na turally, under such circumstances, tendered his resigna tion, and Sir Nicholas Tyndall is to he his successor ; but as the promotion of the latter Gentleman to the office of Attorney-General would necessarily oblige him to vacate his seat, and his attendance in his place in the House pending the diseto:sion on what may, in a certain sense, be called his own measure, being considered indispens able, the intended appointment is deferred ; but only to the first moment in which it can be carried into effect without inconvenience." • SIIIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY) FROM LLOYD'S.

Every party puts forth its own views UpOR the subject—and the most various and dissimi lar plans are whispered about, till the mere coinage of the fancy obtains the credence of an authentic report.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. PITT V. BONNOR IND OTHERS. This was a motion for the appointment of a re ceiver to certai❑ collieries in Wales. The case is of no public interest, and likely to occupy the time of the Court during the whole day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.. NVAITS V. WICKS. Sir J. SCARLETT stated to the Jury that this was an action to recover 7-1-/. 10s., the value of a quan tity of leather sold by the plaintiff to a bankrupt named Pratt, who had sold it the next day to the defendant for 401. Th. Learned Counsel would prove that Pratt had committed repeated acts of bankruptcy before the purchase. Mr. GURNEY, for the defence, contended, that the price given by the defendant was a fair one, con sidering that the bankrupt had told him he had got the leather for a bad debt, and was willing to make a sacrifice for ready money. The bankrupt was carrying on a large trade in extensive premises, and t here was no circumstance to give him any suspicion. The Learned Counsel called several carriers and leather-sellers to speak to the price. Lord TENTERDEN summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 741. 10s. BIRCH V. THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL. This was an action by a coach-maker, against the present Earl of Liverpool, who is executor to the late Dowager Countess of Liverpool, to recover 90/. for the hire of a landau. It appeared that an agreement had been entered into by the late Countess and the plaintiff, for the hire of a landau at 901. per year for five years, paying each year in advance. These payments were made for three years, and in the fourth year the Countess died. The defendant was appointed, executor and went to the plaintiff in order to rescind the contract, and to enquire what was the custom of the trade in such cases. The plaintiff told him that the forfeit of a year's hire wa the custom, and the defendant said that he should hear from him in a fortnight. This arrangement was the one on which the plaintiff sought to recover. Lord TENTERDEN considered that the declaration was improperly framed, and recommended the par ties to make a case for the consideration of the whole Court. This was agreed to, and a nonsuit was entered, with leave to move to enter a verdict for the plaintiff. THE MARKETS.—(TIHS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of Grain this week are inconsiderable, ex cept of Foreign Wheat, of which the quantity that conti nues to arrive is good. The Wheat tr.tde remains in a dull state at the same prices as on Monday. In other sorts of Grain there is no alteration in value, but very little doing in any article. The Flour trade remains so exces sively dull that it is reported the top price must again be reduced. ARRIVALS. Barley. I Oats. I Flour. :_6OO qrs. 2,150 qrs. t MO sacks. Wheat. English Irigh - Foreign I,loobrls. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duchess of Kent, accompanied b.,- the Princess Victo ria, visited the Princess Augusta yesterday. Great numbers of the nobility and gentry called yesterday at her Royal Highness's residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, to make their dutiful inquiries after her health on her arrival in town. A Cabinet Council was summoned to meet at ',two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. At half -past two o'clock the following Ministers had assembled at the Foreign-office :—The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathmet and Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Lord Ellenborough, Mr. Secretary Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, and Mr. Herries. The Ministers ended their sittings at a quarter before four o'clock. Another Cabinet Council was held at half past nine o'clock last night, at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the whole 'of the Cabinet Ministers. Lord Francis Gower, the Secretary of State for Ireland, was in attendance at the office during the sitting of the Council. The Ministers remained in deliberation till about twelve o'clock last night. Tli E ING.—A severe battle was fought yes terday at Shcar-mere, Bedfordshire, between Peter Sweeney and Ned Savage, for 501. a side, which was decided in f a vour of the former at the finish of the 90th round, after lighting one hour and 55 minutes. BOROUGIT OF NEWARK. MoNDAY, Al A rtutt '.—At an early hour this morn ing, the town was in a complete bustle, crowds of inhabitants parading the street opposite the head quarters of the respective candidates, Michael Thos. Sadler, Esq. and Mr. Serjeant Wilde. Between nine and ten o'clock the latter gentleman addressed a large assembly of Ow inll,l;itants in the market place, from his carriage, and shortly afterwards Mr. Sadler spoke from a room over the town-hall. The spacious ball was then opened, and all the portion of it unoccupied by the hustings was almost imme diately filled, the crowd extending nearly halfway down the market-place. The Town-clerk, after reading the precept for the election of a new Mem ber, in the room of Gen. Sir Wm. Henry Clinton, . who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, and the Act against bribery and corruption, administered the oath to the MayOf, Fillingham, Esq. After which the vicar, the Rev. Mr. BAItTLETT, addressed the meeting, ,observing that he stood in a situation in which many might think he ought not to be, and he was aware that it was not a place that best became a clergyman. But he considered the Gospel to be in danger : he intended to propose a gentleman with whom his personal acquaintance had been long. He had long been acquainted with his character, and had read his works, which were both eloquent and prophetic. He concluded with pro posing Mr. Sadler. - Mr. NORTON seconded the nomination. Mr. KELK mid, they were now met to exercise their free right of choosing a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. He concluded by proposing Mr. Sergeant Wilde. Mr. SDINELL seconded this nomination. Mr. SADLER then addressed the meeting. I pre sent myself before you for the honour of your votes to represent you truly and f a ithf u lly in Parliament, or, in a word, to give you an opportunity of fulfil ling those promises you have so generally made to me during my canvass. Whatever may be the ge neral practice of elections, I shall open to you my heart and my principles without reservation. In my firm opinion it is a stain to the present generation, that they demand an apology for the Revolution in 1688, founded, as it was, upon the glorious prin ciple of Protestant ascendancy, and that an altera tion was now being proposed in that Constitution. (Hissing.) lam friendly to the fullest exercise of the Catholic religion, but I object to the ramparts of the Constitution being thrown down that the cita del may be garrisoned by Popery. This is the sole principle on which I come forward. Much had been said of the misery of Ireland. I sincerely commise rate its state, but I do not agree with those who think that the best mode of administering relief is by the grant of Catholic Emancipation. Mr. Sadler then denied that he was the nominee of 'any indivi dual: he was no placeman, as his competitor was; and he concluded with repeating his observations re specting Catholic Emancipation and the state .of Ireland. Mr. KELP begged to ask Mr. Sadler two questions. When he first knew of the resignation of Sir W. H. Clinton ? And when he first intended to become a can didate? Mr. Sanr.Ert would answer those questions, if Mr. Ser geant Wilde would answer certain questions he desired to I propose to him ; one question might have reference to pri vate correspondence. Mr. Sergeant WILDE would unreservedly answer all questions, whether relating to public or private corre- • spondence. Mr. SADLER—If I were to say that one individual alone had communicated with me before I offered myself, it would be erroneous. Individuals who had been long my friends had previously corresponded with me. I did not receive notice of Sir W. H. Clinton's resignation until I believe it was known in London. Before I put my ques tions to Mr. Sergeant Wilde, I will consult with a friend upon their propriety. Mr. Sergeant WILM—The Hon. Gentleman who has been proposed to you has been pleased to use some compli mentary expressions towards me ; be has talked of my talents. I envy the talent that he himself has displayed— a talent I should have thought of more use to me than to himself—the talent of dexterously evading to answer a plain question. The Hon. Gentleman expressed a warm desire to be catechised. It has been said that discretion is the better part of valour. He should have loOked into his own mind, and have considered whether questions might not be asked which he could not or would not answer. When a plain honest man, taken from the middle classes of society, puts a question, instead of making a direct reply, lie attempts to evade the question by putting another. He says he is no placeman ; he is worthy to become one, since he has already acquired the dexterity of a Minister in ;residing questions. When I expressed my readiness to answer any he might ask me, he desired to know if I would produce pm ivate corres pondence, hoping that I would decline to do so. I will, bowever, relieve you from all perplexity, by acquainting him that I have no private correspondence. I: was well known among my friends that it has been my intention for some time past to offer myself to any borough desirous of a candidate, coming forward upon worthy grouede, for I mean not to sell my constituents,—l never will buy theta. I was engaged at my chambers on Tuesday night, when Mr. Pearson was introdaced to me by Mr. Hill, a member of this Circuit, and I then heard that this borough was idiom to be insulted in too gross a manner to be patiently submitted to. I inquired if any proper gentleman having • local connections meant to offer himself, as in such event I would not disturb the harmony of the town. 3lr. Pearson, unfortunately for me, said he believed Mr. Handly intended to come forward. I say unfortunately, because as in case that had been really so, I should not have offered myself. I in con sequence of this mistake lost much valuable time, for it was not until last Friday that I threw up my briefs, and left London to present myself to your notice. I have antici pated all questions that might be put to me, and am now puzzled to seek for Mr. Sadler's answer to the questions that have been pat to him. The questions were too plain to be misunderstood. " When (lid you become a candi date? From whom (lid you learn that there was a va cancy ?" I ask if any of you understood the answer ? Was the date given or the person named ? . Time was wanted to manufacture his answer. No man thinks more highly than 1 do of honest manufacturers ; they are the bulwarks of their country, but the manufacturers of answers, though I have seen them dismissed with disgrace, have never excited in my mind any other feeling than that of pity. Mr. Sadler has laid before you his pretensions. He stands upon the revolution of 1688. Does he love that revolution? I love it more; I love the principles on which it was founded, and hope from those principles to be instrumental in causing the revolution of 1829, a revolu tion in this borough, which I trust will cease to be the political property of any man, and will henceforth send Members of its own choosing. I did not, indeed, expect that the Duke of Newcastle would have become the tyrant of Newark—would have expelled the poor from their cot tages for having voted according to their consciences. I love the Revolution of 1688 for the sake of civil ►iberty.— It has been said that I am a placemau. I have the honour, as one of his Majesty's Sergeants, to be summoned to attend the House of Lords—a duty without salary ; the places with which Mr. Sadler and his patron are best ac quainted are where there is salary without duty. There are dirties to the rich and to the poor, of a different kind, but each equally claiming our attention. My proposer and seconder have both been turned out of their homes for having voted according to their conscience. This, (holding up a paper) is one of the notices to quit, it is signed by the agent of the Duke. His Grace has heraldic muniments which he will hand down to his successors ; my unfortunate friend will leave to his children this document, as a memorial of the integrity and courage of their parent, of his prefer ence of conscience to interest, and of his reliance on that Providence which always succours the distressed • whose misfortunes are owing to their own magnanimity and virtue. The Duke holds his property under a lease from the crown. Would Government be justified in renewing the lease of crown lands that had been used in this reran tier? But the Duke is now an oppaser of Government, and uses this crown property to that end. Whether he has or has nut as many good things of late as he used to have, that he now opposes Government, I do not know; whether the worthy vicar who was appointed by the crown at the recommendation of the Duke—whether the middle landlord is any longer to dictate to you what members yqu are to retuni, depends upon yourselves. It is denied that my opponent is to be elected by the Duke. Will his Grace's agent, who is now standing near me, give a pledge that no Individual shall suffer for the vote he may give ? A Roman Emperor once caused his horse to be elected Consul. If this system ba continued, the borough of Newcastle may be represented by uny person whom the Duke will send, even though he might bear a nearer resemblance to a more ignoble animal than that which the Emperor had chosen. The Learned Sergeant made seve -1 ral other remarks upon the Duke's dictation, all of which were received with the greatest applause, and then pro ceeded to state that he Was as - sincere a Protestant as Mr. Sadler could be, and as sincerely attached to the Church establishment; that he would resist all attacks .upon it, if any should be made, and in answer to a question from an elector, lie said, that he approved of t'ur exclusion of the Catholics at the Revolution of 1688, but that circum stances were now greatly altered ; the . Pope's power had materially diminished ; be was now in his swaddling clothes ; and, let the Catholics dandle their baby as they liked, they were no longer dangerous, and their admission into Parliament, he thought, . would be attended with the effect, not of converting Pro testants to Catholicism, but Catholics to Protestant ism. The Duke of Wellington, Mr. Peel, Mr. Goulburn, and other Gentlemen .of the greatest abi lity and attachment to the Church Establishment, were placed in situations best adapted for correct and full information on the subject, and they were of opinion that a revision of the penal laws affecting the Reman Catholics was necessary. In that opinion he coincided, but were he chosen he would watch most sedulously, that in any measure that might be proposed, no clause should, through inad vertence (by design he was sure it would not), creep in, that could in the slightest degree affect the security, in terest, or property of the church. The show of hands was then . taken, which was greatly in favour of the Serjeant. Mr. Sadler then demanded a poll, at the close of which the numbers were— For Mr: Serjeant Wilde For Mr. Sadler SECOND DAY-TUESDAT.

We have much pleasure in publishing a copy of the celebrated and important declaration in favour " of a final and conciliatory adjustment of the Ca tholic Question," which was adopted at the Pro testant Meeting of the Friends of Civil and Reli gious Liberty, held in College-green, Dublin, on the 23d January, 1829. This striking and valuable public document, issued in Ireland at such a time, and explanatory of the grounds of that " state necessity" on which the King's Ministers have since with honesty and wisdom rested their recommendation of such an adjustment" to the Legislature, has been signed by Protestants only—not one Catholic name to be found on the whole paper. Perhaps these Pro testants are ignorant, insignificant, and deluded men, of no education, of no property, who have never heard of the Revolution of 1688, and care nothing for Protestant religion or establishments ! Who are they, then, and bow many ? Read the annexed list of Protestant Noblemen, Baronets, and Members of Parliament—all hating property in Ireland—all deeply interested in her peace, prosperity, and happi ness—all exposed, beyond any class of Englishmen, to whatever dangers the unread fanatics of this country have conjured up as derivable from, or con tingent on, the adjustment of Catholic grievances— and then say what have the Brunswick dupes to plead for their own stupidity ? Two Dukes, seven Marquisses, 28 Earls, 11 Viscounts, 21 Barons, Lords, and Counts, 22 Va ronets, and 36 Members of. Parliament, most of them for counties ; besides 10 or 11 County Mem bers who are among the list of Lords. In addition to the above, there are signatures of private gentlemen, of the highest fortune and re spectability in Ireland—(Protestants to a nurn)—to the number of 2,700, for which we unfortunately have not room within our columns. " PROTESTANT DECLARATION. " At a meeting of the Committee of the Friends of Civil and Religious Liberty, held at the Royal Hotel, Col lege-street; Dublin, on the 23d of January, 1829, for the purpose of promoting the objects expressed in the Pro testant Declaration, it -was " Resolved, That copies of the Declaration be forwarded to each of the Members of the Houses of Lords and Com mons. (By order) " EDW. GROVES, Sec. " Royal Hotel, College-green, Dublin, Feb. 7. DECLARATION OF TILE UNDERSIGNED PROTESTANTS, IN FAVOUR OF A FINAL AND CONCILIATORY ADJUSTMENT OF THE CATHOLIC QUESTION. " We, the undersigned, being personally interested in the condition, and sincerely' anxious for the happiness, of Ireland, feel ourselves called upon at the present juncture, to declare the conviction we entertain, that the disqualify ing laws which affect his Majesty's Roman Catholic sub jects are productive of consequences prejudicial in the highest &pee to the interests of Ireland and the empire to which she is united. With respect to Ireland in parti cular, they arc a primary cause of her poverty and wretch edness, and the source of those political discontents and religious animosities that distract the country, endanger the safety of its institutions, and are destructive alike of so cial happiness and natienal prosperity. " ' We are further of opinion, that unless the wisdom of the , Legislature shall speedily apply a remedy to these evils, they must in their rapid progress assume, at no distant pe riod, such a character as must render their ultimate re moval still more difficult, if not impossible. " We therefhre deem it of paramount importance to the welfare of the empire at large, and of Ireland espe cially, that the whole subject should be taken into imme diate consideration by Parliament, with a view to such a final and conciliatory adjustment as may be conducive to the peace and strength of the United Kingdom, to the stability of our national institutions, and to the general satisfaction and concord of all classes of his Majesty's subjects.'

This meeting, which took place in the open air, in the Market-place, on Monday, the 2d instant, was, as to numbers, a complete failure, no doubt to the chagrin and disappointment of some of the very sanguine Anti-Catholics. Although for the last ten days the town has been deluged, and the walls placarded with bills of the most inflammatory na ture—although the house of God has been decorated and ...defiled for political purposes, to the disgust of all sensible and moderate men—and although the men at several of the ship-yards (ship-carpenters), &c. were allowed to be at liberty to attend the meeting (it has been said, were instructed to 'attend it), yet after all, in a population of upwards of 50,000, little more perhaps than 2,000 adult males were at this meeting, and these were chiefly of the lower orders in society, who, however respectable, as every man is who discharges his duty, let his station in life be high or low, may naturally be sup- posed to be more readily swayed in their opinions than persons moving in the higher walks of life. It .hould, however, be noticed, to the everlasting honour if the people. of Hull, that although incited by the means before noticed, yet we are not acquainted with one single act of riot or disorder that took place; nor would they, it is quite evident, have moved one step in the matter if they had not been excited to it by others. It should be stated, that at this meeting no Banker, but few Merchants or men of station and byluence, nor even the principal Clergyman (the Vicar) of the High Church, took part in the business. The principal and chief actors, however, were Clergymen of the Church of Eng land, united with the Methodist Ministers. "These latter gentlemen came forward to advocate the cause, and wish to hear the voice of the people with singular modesty, when in their own conclaves Il(ft; even their very whisper is allowed .to be heard. 1:( consequence of the excitement that was naturally expected to have seized the public mind, the friendf of civil and religious liberty, and to its extension to all, determined to take no part in the proceedings of the day, unwilling to hazard the peace of the town, and their conduct is much approved by all good and peaceable men. Resolutions and petitions were of course nearly unanimously carried, and the meeting quietly dispersed. The petitions will, no doubt, be numerously signed, as one of its prayers is far a dissolution of Parliament, a thing the worthy bur. , gesses every, where would like. The Duke of New castle would, no doubt, call all this clamour if it was to do away with the Coin Bill. It is strange that every where you find the Clergy, with some lionaur. able exceptions, the great moving causes of all the hubbub in the country, as though nobody else either cared for, or understood, the subject. They talk of liberty, but is not arbitrary you er and priesteraft their object—from which evils we hope God will pre- fect us. It would he an eternal disgrace to England if, with any semblance of truth, it could go forth to the world that her sons are the enemies to liberty and the promoters of slavery. The opposite is, no doubt, true, as all well-informed persons who think at all, and take enlarged views of the subject, and of society, are decided friends to the removal of all civil disabilities on account of religious opinions. DREADFUL MURDERS AT PORTSMOUTH. PowrsmouTH, MAacit 2.—This town was this morning thrown into great confusion by the disco very of two murders, of the most dreadful descrip tion, perpetrated on the persons of Samuel Lang trey and his housekeeper. Langtrey was a retired bricklayer, and nearly SO years of age ; he resided in a house in Prospect-row, and had no other inmate than a female, apparently about 60. So feeble was the old man, that he had not been down stairs for some months, and the woman used to wait on him in his front chamber; he was enabled to walk abort his room with the assistance of a stick. They had lived in this house nearly 20 years, and in the even ing a neighbouring female used to go to assist the housekeeper to get her master to bed. Last even ing she went several times for that purpose, but could make no one hear; this did not create much suspicion, as it has happened before when the par ties have fallen asleep; but this morning, on her again endeavouring to make them hear, she received no answer, which induced her to call on a neighbour, who got into the premises by the back way through the yard, and, on looking through the kitchen-win dow, he discovered a quantity of blood, and the old woman lying on her side. He instantly gave the alarm, and a constable and some persons entered, when they found the woman with several wounds given by an instrument like a slater's hamir.n. (which 'probably was on the premises, and was dir , -;ered bloody), and a knife, which cannot be found, from which she had received many stabs in the face and hands; and in the room was found the handle of a long brush broken to pieces, from which it appears she must have made great resistance; after she was on the ground the villain nearly severed her head from the body. On going up stairs, the old man was discovered lying on his back, dressed, with his walking-stick in his hand; he had received two blows, apparently from the instrument before mentioned ; one had pe netrated the skull, and the brains had spattered across the room, and were seen on a blanket hang ing on a chair, and the blood was seen .all over the wainscot ; he also had his throat cut in the most dreadful manner. ..... As soon as the circumstances were known, the churchwardens (Messrs. Young and Grant), with a promptitude that reflects great credit on them, called a public vestry of the inhabitants, at which it was agreed that 100/. reward should be offered for the discovery of the offender, and 1001. more are offered by Langtrey's executors. The town is now in the greatest confusion—the constables are all on the alert. The old man must have been an easy prey to the villain, as he was deaf, nearly speechless, and could hardly hobble about.— Langtrey was in easy circumstances, and it is sup posed had money in the house, as he was the owner of several how;es in the town. A curious circumstance took place in the morn ing before the murder was discovered. A man, about 25 years of age, about five feet nine inches high, with sandy hair, short whi,kcrs, and sbabinly dressed, apparently an Irishman, from his accent, applied in the town to have some guineas, which he had in a dirty bag, changed for sovereigns, and was refused. his description is forwarded to all the neigbouring towns; and if his purpose was honest, no doubt he will come forward—if be does not, suspicion will fall on him, as it is supposed such money was likely to be kept by Langtrey. A jury is now sitting, and expresses have been sent with bills, offering the above reward, to every part ; and it is to be hoped, from the activity of our police, the murderer will not long remain unapprehended. Earl Gower gave a grand dinner to the Duke of Cumberland, on Monday, at his residence in Hamilton , place. His Royal Highness afterwards honoured the party given by the Netherlands Ambassador, at his residence in Bryanstone -square, with his company. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MARCH 2. Like the other great town of the empire (Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, &c.), where liberality and justice hold their sway, Newcastle-upon-Tyne is going to have a public meeting, o consider the expediency of petitioning Parliament fur emoval of the civil disabilities which affect his Majesty's l:.unan Catholic subjects." The requisition to the Mayor of this town bears the signature of nearly two hundred in dividuals, including a large portion of the wealth, talent, and respectability of Newcastle. The meeting is axed for Tuesday, the 10th inst., and will no doubt be most Immo ronsly attended. The Tyne Mercury, of this evening, says—" The Vicar of Newcastle haying made application to the Mayor, to call a meeting, to petition against the Ca tholic Claims, his Worship declined acceding to the Rev. Gentleman's request; but has since - decided on calling a public meeting, agreeably to a desire of a deputation from a numerous body of requisitionists, with a view of o penly and fairly discussing the question of Catholic emancipation.
