This being the day appointed for the enthrone ment of his Grace Lord Charles Jatnes, Bishop of London, all parties in the city were on the qui vive to witness a ceremony, to which probably on no former occasion has so much attention been drawn. The more interest was evinced by the public to wit ness the enthronement of the Bishop of London, from the rarity of such a proceeding, and from the high respect and attachment shown by the citizens of London to Dr. Blomfield, the new Bishop of London. It is now about fifteen years since a similar cere mony was gone through, the present Archbishop of Canterbury having been enthroned in 1814, then Bish op of London, but the enthronement was for the most part private. At an early hour this morning there were crowds of persons assembled in the vicinity of St. Paul's, desirous of gaining admission into the Cathedral— but orders were given to di Vergers, that only a limited Humber of persons havlug the entree, should be permitted to enter the Cathedral until the pro cession had arrived, and taken their stations in the church. At about a quarter to eleven o'clock, the Lord Mayor in his state carriage, accompanied by the Sheriffs also in state, arrived at the western entrance, End the great doorS were thrown open. His Lord ship and the Sheriffs proceeded into the vestry -4"11, and shortly before eleven o'clock went into the church and took their seats. The Bishop of London, previous to the cere mony in the Cathedral, proceeded from his residence to the Chapter-house, St. Paul's Church-yard. There his Grace was met, at about half-past ten o'clock, by the Bishop of Llandaff, Dean of St. Paul's, Dr. Lushington, the Chancellor of the Dio cese of London, the Registrars, and other officers, the Clergy destined to form part of the ceremony, 4 e- Here was read by the Registrar the mandate from the Archdetsconry of Canterbury, appointing the Bishop of London, by order of his Majesty, to his office. The Dean of St. Paul's then administered to the 1 3ishop of London the oaths of alle g iance and an- Premacy, and of r es id ence , b y which the Bishop of Landon promises to defend the rights of the Church. These constituted the preliminary duties previous to the ceremony of enthronization. At a short time before eleven o'clock, the Bishop of London and two other Church Dignitaries, with the officers, went in procession from the Chapter house to the western or grand entrance of St. Paul's Cathedral in the following order : The Apparitor of the Dean and Chapter The Commissary of St. Paul's The Registrars of the Dean and Chapter The Junior Prebendaries, two and two 'The Elder Prebendaries, two and two The Dean's Verger The Bishop's Apparitor Ills Eirace Lord Charles James, Bishop of London, in his Epicopal robes The Apparitor of the Chai,cellor of the Diocese Dr. Lushington, tbe Cha.:eellor of the Diocese The Registrars of the D;‘)cese The Bishop of London's Secretary The Advocates and Proctors. After entering the Cathedral, the proceision passed through the body of the church. At the choir it was met by other member: of the cathedral, and the procession went up to the Bishop's throne (the organ Playing a grand " Voluntary,") thus : Three Vergers The Choral Boys, two and two The Ahnoner or Master The Vicars Choral, two and two The Sub-Dean and the Minor Canons. The procession made up in the order given above; on arriving at the throne the Dean, Dr. Coplestone, Bishop of Llandaff, placed the Bishop of London on his throne, and the morning service then began. The procession having taken th e i r seats , th e Morning Service began. At t h e en d o f t h e fi rst Lesson Dr. Coplestone, the Dean, instals the Bishop it; these w , l.ds : " I, Dr. Coplestone, of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, do induct, instal, and enthrone you, the Right Rev. Father in God Charles James, by Divin e permission, Bishop of L on d on , i nto t h e Bishopric and Episcopacy of London, and the Lord Preserve thy going out and coming in from this time f orth for evermore; an d mayest t h ou rema i n in jus tice and sanctity, end adorn the place thou art dele gated to by G o d. G o d i s power f u l, an d may he in ease your grace." The Dean then conducted the Bishop from the Throne to the Episcopal Stall in the middle of the Ckoir, during w hi c h the organ played Te Deum. After which the f o ll ow i ng suffrages were performed b =the Dea n , w h o read a prayer imploring strength the Bi s h op, t h at he may uphold the Church, and that he may instruct the Clergy and the people in true religion. This prayer concludes the ceremony of enthrone- Tent, and the Morning Servic is then resumed.— At its conclusion the procession returned in the same order in which it came to the Chapter-house. On their arrival at the Chapter-house, the proces sion adjourns into the audience room, where the Bishop is placed in a chair at the head of the table. , The D ean t h en ac k nowledges canonical obedience these words :—" Right Reverend Father in God, I acknowledge all canonical obedience to you as Bi shop of London." The other Prelates and Members of the Church a cknowledged obedience in the same terms. The Bishop of London—. I thank you for your attmdance to-day; and I particularly thank the Dean and Chapter for their attention. I am grati fied by the solemnity and devorum observ e d through ent the ceremony. I trust we shall have mutual in tercourse for the benefit of C.- Church." The ceremony here concluded, i,nd congratulations were paid to the Bishop of London. The Lord Mayor returned to the Mansion -house. „Notwithstanding the assertion of the- Devon- Port Telegraph to the contrary, there is not any intention of abolishing the system of building men-of-war with round sterns. --Plymouth Journal.

REGULATIONS FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THOSE WHO MAT PROPOSE TO EMBARK, AS SETTLERS, FOR THE NEW SETTLEMENT ON TILE %ESTERN COAST OF NEW HOL- LAND. 1. His Majesty's Government do not intend to incur any expence in conveying settlers to the new Colony on the Swan River ; and will not feel bound to defray the expence of supplying them with pro visions, or other necessaries, atter their arrival there, nor to assist their removal to Englard, or elsewhere, should they be desirous of quitting the Colony. 2. Such persons as may arrive in that settle ment, before the end of the year 1830, will receive, in the order of their arrival, grants of land, free of quitrent, proportioned to the capital which they may be prepared to invest in the improvement of the said land, and of which capital they may be able to produce satisfactory proofs, to the Lieute nant-Governor (or other officers administering the colonial government) or to any two officers of the local government appointed by the Lieutenant-Go vernor for that purpose, at the rate of 40 acres, for every sum of 3/. which they may be prepared so to invest. 3. Under the head of investment of capital, will be considered stock of every description, all imple— ments of husbandry, and other articles which may Ire applicable to the purposes of productive industry, or which may be necessary for the establishment of the settler on the land where he is to be located. The amount of any half-pay or pensiOn which tho applicant may receive from Government, will also be considered as so much capital. 4. Those who may incur the expence of taking out labouring persons, will be entitled to an allow ance of lo.nd, at the rate of IV., that is, of 200 acres of land, for the passage of every such labouring person, over and above any other investment of capital. In the class of " labouring persons" are in cluded women, and children above 10 years. Pro vision will be made by law, at the earliest opportu nity, for rendering those capitalists, who may be en gaged in taking out labouring persons to this settle ment, liable for the future maintenance of those per sons, should they, from infirmity or any other cause, become unable to maintain themselves there. 5. The licence of occupation of land will he granted to the settler, on satisfactory proof being exhibited to the Lieutenant-Governor (or other Officer administering the local government) of the amount of property brought into the colony. The proofs required of such property will be such satis factory vouchers of expenses as would be received in auditing public accounts; but the full title to the land will not be granted in fee simple until the settler has proved, to the satisfaction of the Lieut.- Governor (or other Officer administering the local Government), that the sum required by Article 2, of these Regulations, viz. ls. 6d. per acre, has been expended in the cultivation of the land; or, in solid improvements, such as buildings, roads, and other works of the kind. 6. Any grant of land, thus allotted, on which a fair proportion of at least one-fourth shall not have been brought into cultivation, otherwise im proved, or reclaimed from its wild state, to the extent of Is. 6d. per acre, to the satisfaction of the local government, within three years from the date of the licence of occupation, shall, at the end of the three years, be liable to a payment of 6d. per acre into the public chest of the settlement, and, at the expiration of seven years more, should the land still remain in an uncultivated or unimproved state, it will revert absolutely to the Crown. 7. After the year 1930, land will be disposed of to those settlers who may resort to the colony, on such conditions as his Majesty's Government shall see occasion to adopt. 8. It is not intended that any convicts, or other description of prsoners, be transported to this new settlement. 9. The government will be administered by Capt. Stirling, of the Royal Navy, as Lieutenant- Governor of the settlement; and it is proposed that a Bill should be submitted to Parliament, in the course of next Session, to make provision for the civil government of the new settlement. Colonial Office, Jan. 13, 1829. The I - lon. Major-General Stapylton, the Chairman of the Victualling Board, on his official visit to this port lest week, intimated to Mr. INlLlntosh, the con tractor for building the new Victualling Yard at Devil's Point, that th , • works carrying on there should be forwarded with every pos-i!rle dispatch ; in consequence numbers of additional workmen will be engaged. It is anticipated that this elegant structure will be in a fit state for occupati , o in 12 months. Mr. Rennie, the architect, is now here on an official ♦isit to the above works.—Plymouth Journal. Spacious hustings are erected for the ap proaching County Meeting which it is expected will be the largest ever known in Devonshire, a great number of ko bility having, we hear, signified their intention to be Tre sent.—Plymouth Journal. DUBLIN, JAN. 10.—Orders were received on Wednesday, at the Post-office here, communicating to the head officers and minor tinpkves that, after the sth of January, 1830, it would cease to be a distinct Post-office department, but • should thenceforward merge into the general Establishment at St. Martin's-le-Grand. DEPARTURE OF THE MARQUIS or AN GLESEI.-It is suggested that, as a mark of respect to the Marquis of Anglesea, the citizens of Dublin should wear black crape in their hats on the day of his Excellency's de parture front Dublin.—Dublin Morning Register. The proprietors of the Brunswick steam-ves sel have come to the determination of adopting the new paddle-wheels invented by Mr. Mills, Master of that vessel. —Plymouth Journal. A young and dashing lanceteer of Stamford, last week disported himself in the neighbourhood of Wans ford, and, for want of better game, hunted a tame duck. The quark, however, disliking to be despatched by a re gular, mounted into the air. The sportsman fired just as his bird had attained the altitude of a poor boy who stood near it, and, less fortunate than the fool in the nursery rhymes,. who " shot at a pigeon and killed a crow," he aimed at the duck and hit the boy; into whose neck and shoulders the shot penetrated. He is, however, in a fair way of recovery. His name is Robert Starsmore, and it is a sin gu l ar f act, that he is the same boy who accidentally killed a c hild l ast autumn by driving a waggon over it as it lay in the field.—Stamford News. About four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, a vvaterman discovered a male infant, apparently not above three months old, lying among the mud on the Surrey side of Rlackfriars-bridge, wrapped up in a coarse towel, with a brick suspended t o i ts nec k . Information was imme diatelygiven to the beadle of the parish, and the body of the infant was conveyed in a s h e ll to Ch r i st Ch urch wol house ; to await the Coroner's impost, THE KING'S COURT. His Majesty held a Court yestertlay afternoon at two o'clock, at his palace at Windsor, which was attended by tha Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the Council, the First Lord of the Treasury, the First Lord of the Ad miralty, the Socret.wies of State for the Home and Foreign DepartmPnts, the Chanrellcr of the Exchequer, the Presi dent of the Hoard of Control, the Master of the Mint, the Lord Steward of the Household, the Trcasurtr of the Household, the Lord Chief Justice of England, the Recorder of Loudon, the Earl of Liverpool, &c. The Duke of Wellington had an audience of the King, and kissed hands on being appoi❑ted Lord Warden of the Ciuquc Ports. The Earl of Liverpool was presented to his Majesty by Mr. Secretary Peel, on succeeding to his title, when his Lordship delivered the insignia of the Order of the Garter worn by his brother, the late Earl. His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which Mr. Gre vine attended as clerk. At its conclusion, the Recorder of London was introduced into the presence of the King in Council, and made a report of the convicts capitally con ♦icted at Justice-hall, in the Old Bailey, during the last December sessions. The cases, to the number of 24, were reported, when the sentence of the law was ordered to be carried into effect on James Coleman, fur coining, and James Wheeler, for highway robbery in Bethnal-green, on the sth of November. Their execution, it is understood, will take place on Wednesday next: the remainder of the convicts were respited during his Majesty's pleasure. The King gave audiences to the Lord Chancellor, Earl Bathurst, and Mr. Secretary Peel. Sir William Keppel was the Groom in Waiting. The Court broke up about six o'clock. The whole of the Ca binet Ministers remained at the palace to dine with his Majesty, a splendid entertainment being prepared for them. The King's private band had orders to attend at eight o'clock to play for the gratification of his Majesty and his distinguished guests, most of whom would, it was ex pected, remain all night at the palace. Sir Llerbert Taylor left the palace shortly before the holding of the Council, and returned to London. Yesterday was the anniversary of the birth-day of the Duke of Gloucester, when bis Royal Highness completed his 53d year. The detachment of the Third Regiment of Guards (of which his Royal Highness is Colonel), which mounted ,guard yesterday morning in the King's Palace, St. James's, displayed their state colours in honour of the day. The band of the regiment, with the drum-major, appeared in their state regimentals. The tradespeople of his Royal Highness had their houses illuminated in the evening. Theßishop of London transacted business yesterday at the Colonial-office, Downing-street. BUTCHERS' INSTITUTION. Yesterday evening a very numerous and respect able Meeting of the Master Butchers of the Metro polis, was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of agreeing to Resolutions and appointing officers for a Society lately formed by the Body, called " The Butchers' Charitable Institution." Mr. G YBLETT, of New Bond-street, was unanimously called to the Chair. He observed, that the object for which the Meeting was called was purely and solely charitable. It had long been regretted that no such Society existed in connection with the trade of butchers; but the Committee appointed for the defence of their trade, had fre quent discussions on the propriety of establishing such an institution ; and at the dinner of the trade that took place in that house on the memorable 15th of October, when the subject was mentioned, the response from every part of the room, and from every countenance, evinced that it would be well supported. Thus encouraged, 20 gentlemen met on the 18th of November. and founded the Butchers' Charitable Institution. They'all became donors and subscribers; they had several stabsequent meetings, and at each meeting they found an access to their numbers and their funds, which latter now amounted to upwards of 1,0001. (Applause.) Finally they had convened the present Meeting to agree on Resolu tions for the government of the Institution, to ap point its Officers, anti to receive the donations and subscriptions of all those who had not already en rolled themselves amongst its supporters. He was happy to see the elder members of the trade come forward with their offerings, from the fruits of their industry, to relieve the distress of those who had not been prosperous. He spoke with reverence ; but except in the service of God himself, he did not think there could be a more praiseworthy employ ment of the talent God had entrusted to their care. He had a pleasing communication to make from Mr. Mellish. That gentleman had been applied to, to allow his name to be proposed for President of the Institution ; and had answered in a letter which he would read for the Meeting. The Chairman read the letter, in which Mr. Mellish expressed his high sense of the honour proposed to be conferred on him, and lamented that his other avocations prevented his undertaking its duties. He should always be ready to give his best support to the Institution, and in closed a donation of 100/. Mr. SYLVESTER proposed en:: t Mr. Gyblett should be appointed President, wilich was carried with acclamation. GuBLETT expressed his high sense of the ho nour conferred on him, and would endeavour to evince his gratitude by a faithful and zealous dis charge of his duty. (Applause.) Vice-Presidents, Trustees, a Committee, and Treasurer were then appointed, after which the Secretary read a long list of donations and subscrip tions; the former generally being ten guineas and the latter one guinea from each individual ; but in several instances these sums were doubled. Several Members addressed the Meeting, and said they found the whole trade anxious to support the Institution, which, they trusted, would be an answer to the calumnies by which they were as sailed, as being deficient in kindly feelings. Thanks were voted to the Chairman for his ex cellent conduct on that, and on all other occasions where the interests of the trade or of humanity are concerned. The CHAIRMAN, in making his acknowledgements, said he never met the members of the trade but to re ceive an addition to the obligations which they had heaped on him. The Meeting separated, evidently highly pleased with the unanimous support the Institution re ceived. SIR ANTHONY HART.—Lest the recall of the Marquis of Anglesea should be interpreted otherwise than as a proof of malevolence to Ireland, it is also deter mined, according to rumour, that Sir Anthony Hart must he displaced, and thereby discharge, together with the Noble Marquis, the penalty upon upright conduct, impar tiality, anti justice. And, afflicting a piece of business as this would be to the country, it was amongst the pro bable consequences which, in our forebodings of the worst, we were led to connect with the dismissal of the Viceroy. First, because a Cabinet that could grudge Ireland such a benefactor as Lord Anglesea, merely, it would stem, for the crime of being a benefactor, must, as a matter of course and consistency, envy us such a treasure as Sir Anthony Hart ; and secondly, because the Chancellor, as a member of the Vice-regal Council, must have been impli cated as a particeps criminis in the act or omission of Lord Anglesea (if advised) which the Duke of Welling., ton and Mr. Peel may have pounced upon, as a pretext for offence. There was one consideration, we confess, to qualify our dread that Sir Anthony Mart should retire, in despite of the two motives which we have stated, to the fearful inference, that he should.— The judicial character of Sir Anthony (so uncommunica tive has he been, either by word or act, as a politician, that his politics are yet to transpire and be developed) is admitted by all parties to be pure and transcendant. In a country so remarkable for litigation as this, the value of an able and honest Judge was soon discovered, ins the per son of the Chancellor—in his manly and indefatigable ha bits of business,. so admirably contrasted with the maudlia and rickety manner of some of his predecessors. Before he had completed the Chancery labours of one month, the public opinion, including the unanimous testimonies of the members of the profession of which he is the head and ornament in Ireland, was stamped upon its merits. We have learned to regard him as a fixture—as an individual whose departure front amongst us must leave a void in the family of our country's talent and worth ; and we shall only say, that if the rumour put forth turn out to be well founded, a fur greater calamity than even Lord Anglesea's recall will be visited upon• Ireland.—Dublin Freeman'.

Yesterday- the Recorder made his Report to his Majesty, at Windsor, of the following prisoners, who were capitally convicted at the last Old Bailey December Sessions, viz. : John Ponsonbv, aged 59—uttering counterfeit coin, having before been convicted ac a common utterer. Edward Nightingale, 34; Edwin, alias Edward Harris, 21; Wm. Woodward, 21; Wm. Humphreys, 17; Joseph Mott, 23; Wm. Morley, 21; Thomas Ousby, 20—housebreaking. Matthew Reilly, 20—forgery.

John Alridge, 16 ; James Wheeler, 21; and Daniel John Quay, 17— high way robbery. James Coleman, 33—coining,-- and John Lovell, 25; and Thomas Eyrcs, 42 sheep-stealing; all of whom his Majesty was gra ciously pleased to respite, ezcept James Wheeler and James Coleman, who are left for execution on Wednesday next. James Coleman, one of the unfortunate men who is ordered for execution, was tried with Rhoda his wife, for having in their possession two moulds, for the purpose of making counterfeit shillings. They were indicted under an Act passed in the reign of King William, which punishes this offence with death. The prisoner and his wife resided in Ju bilee-court, Bethnal Green, and an officer proved that when he went to their house, he found various utensils used for the purpose of coining, and some bad shillings. The prisoners were not at work at the time. When the officers entered the room, the prisoner said, " Lord have mercy upon me ! I am a dead man." Mr. Field, the Mint Inspector, said that the impression on the mould was the best he ever saw. The Jury acquitted Rhoda Coleman, but her unfortunate husband was immediately convicted. James Wheeler was indicted with John Dennis, George Duff, Daniel Quay, and Thomas Groves, for a highway robbery on a gentleman, named Thos. Brooks, when they stole from his person a gold watch and five sovereigns. They were also charged with other daring robberies. On the sth Nov. one of their companions, of the name of Harris, was dressed as a Guy Fawkes, placed on a donkey, and surrounded by the above-named persons, and a num ber of their gang; the donkey was driven through the streets from Bethnal-green to Islington. In their way they knocked down Mr. Brooks, who re sides in King's Arms-yard, Coleman-street, and robbed him of his watch, valued at sixty guineas, and his purse, containing five sovereigns. Mr. Brooks was also beaten by the ruffians. An elderly person, named John Goodyear, was .attacked by the same gang; they attempted to take his watch, but the riband broke, and they got only the seal and key. A respectable widow, named Warner, was robbed of a handkerchief, containing some money. The whale of the prisoners were acquitted, except Wheeler and Quay, against whom the case was fully made out. Quay, on account of his good character, war recommended to mercy, and the result has been that his life has been spared. I HE SCHOOLMASTER IS ABROAD.—When Mr. Lawless and Mr. O'Hagan were proceeding to the North, last summer, they attended a meeting held in the parish chapel of At death, in the county of Meath. A country schoolmaster made his appearance there, after hav ing indulged rather freely in potations of the native be verage, and became so obstreperous by applauding the dif ferent speakers, in a hallooing sort of strain, that, after re peated admonitions from some of the respectable auditors, he was gently carried from the interior of the chapel by two able-bodied men and left sitting ontside the door. A young man in one of the galleries, of plain appearance, who had been attentive to the whole proceedings, as soon as he saw the schoolmaster carried out of the chapel, ex claimed in a voice sufficiently loud to be heard in every part of the sacred edifice—" The schoolmaster is abroad," which witticism produced loud and incessant peals of laughter for some minutes throughout the chapel.—.

A very re spectable mathematician, Don Jose Nunez de Are nas, bad for a long time been delivering elementary courses to a considerable number of Spanish young men, who, without him, would certainly have had no opportunity of acquiring knowledge. We are given to understand that he, in connexion with Don Mariano La Gasca, late professor of botany at Madrid, and deputy of the Cortes, and Don Pablo Mendibil, well known as a cultivated and excellent writer, have made an application to the Refugee Committee, in order to obtain their co-operation for giving more extension and efficiency to their patriotic intentions. The Committee nominated three of its members,—Mr. J. A. Smith, Mr. Labouchere, and Mr. Bowring,—to consult with the Committee of the Mechanics' Institute, in order to obtain the use of the rooms of that establishment during the hours in whic:i they are disengaged; and we find the pro position was received, and assented to, by Dr. Birk beck, and the Mechanics, with the readiest and kindest good-will. Mr. Wood has kindly offered to give the value of 25/. in printing, for the use of the refugees; and we trust a project which does so much honour to all concerned will be carried into the fullest effect."

The effect, however, was, that Sontag stands higher than in our last report; Brother to Lapdog also rose a little.

CORONER'S INQUEST. On Wednesday evening an inquisition was taken at the Feathers, in Dean-street, Westminster, before Thomas Higgs, Esq., on the body of a young man, name unknown, who was found drowned under a barge at Freman's-wharf, Millbank-street, West minster, on Tuesday afternoon, about six o'clock. The deceased appeared to be about twentv-six years of age, dressed in a blue livery coat, edged with red, plush small-clothes, and a pelican on the buttons. A letter was discovered in the breeches pocket, written in a female hand, of which the fol lowing is a copy. The direction was quite obliterated: "Do not let this note he seen by any one whatever. I shall not he out this evening, I am so very ill ; and, if you call upon me any time to-morrow, I should be so pleased. Do, love, come to-morrow, at five o'clock, fir I have bad the doctor, and I am certain I shall not he out for a day or two. If you come here ask for Mrs. Chandler, and knock once. Do not imagine, my dear, fur one moment, that it is my wish to part ; no, my dear William ; no, never would that be the case unless it is wished for on your part. Let the sacrifice be what it may, your wish shall be complied with. I3clic, me, my dear William, that lam yours, and yours most affectionately. " No. 4, Chapel-place, Little Coram-street. id F . co The jury returned a verdict of—'Found drowned." We have since been informed by the constable that inquiries had been made, and the deceased proved to be Mr. Waithman's servant, who had been missing since Christmas. EDINBURGH, JAN. 12.—We understand that exertions are making by some individuals to procure the chair of " Practical Astronomy" for Dr. Brewster. The salary is, we believe, about 1001. It was originally a sinecure erected for the accommodation of the late in cumbent, who served in the British Navy during the American war; _and if it fall into Dr. Brewster's bands, we imagine it will be a sinecure still. The Doctor has written a treatise on Astronomy for the Encyclopedia, as any man might de who had Delambre's and other French works before him (the value of which the Doctor knows well) ; but of " practical astronomy" his friends certainly cannot pretend that he has any knowledge beyond what is possessed by every teacher of mathematics in town. If appointed Professor of Astronomy, he will have to study the science after he is appointed to teach it; and we need not state, that any chair disposed of in this way is neither more nor less than a job. It is besides pretty certain, that were lectures given, not so many as half a dozen of stu dents would be got to attend them, so that even the at tempt to teach, were it made, would be nugatory. What then would be the result were Dr. Brewster appointed ? Why, be would live at Melrose as he does at present, and receive 1001. from the country for doing nothing ! Luckily, the affair must come under the cognisance of the Royal Commission, for Mr. Peel surely will not fill up the vacancy without consulting them, and we cannot suffer ourselves to believe for one moment that they will give their sanction to such a joh. If they do, all their professed attempts to reform our Universities must be considered as mete grimace. We could point out various modes of disposing of the money which would benefit " practical astronomy," but as we have no doubt these will suggest' theamelves readily to the Commission, we shall refrain for the reernt.—Seotsman, SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNAL, llreland is on all sides petitioning and corn ' plaining. The presence of Lord Anglesea as Lord-Lieutenant was, after the full disclosure of his feelings towards the Catholic cause, a pledge, and no weak one, so long as he might continue, • that the Government of England approved a system of mild and equitable administration be tween Protestant and Catholic. The King's representative doing impartial justice, proved by his retention of that honourable post, that the King himself had enjoined the Viceroy to do justice. The people of Ireland were shrewd enough to see this ; and the consequence was peace and forbearance through out t h e country, so far as the Catholics were concerned. The continuance of Lord Anglesea was a further as surance that a Lord Lieutenant miOt be popu lar without offence,—that he might he beloved in Dublin, without being thought in D own i ng _ street a traitor. But the talismanis broken : in different justice was a had example—condescen sion towards the people was disloyalty at Court. The " good old Protestants" were as much dis mayed by the equal cordiality shown to Catholic gentlemen with t hemselves, as the "good old cour tiers" of Louis XVIII. were, at his Majesty's kind reception of all other elass?:. of his subjects at the reformation. The Gregors andSaurms cried out that "it will never do." " There is no ascendancy"—" there is no exclusive entree for loyal men." "•The Sun shines on all alike." Oar charter—our beloved impunity —is wrested from us." For the menials of mono poly, persecution had been the choicest perqui site. Think ye, then, that their last cheese paring would be so quietly relinquished ? We apprehend that in Ireland, as well as here, a tough, and possibly a tedious, contest may still precede the breaking up of the political game laws. Orangeism is the " Irish preserve," as Toryism is that of England. When the Catho lic poachers become too strong for the keepers on that side of the Channel, and when on this the Liberals,—but not till then,—we shall, every man, shoot his own game, and enjoy in common right that which Providence designed for the com fort of all civilized and social beings. Dublin has witnessed several public meetings, held with oppo site views, upon the occasion of Lord Anglesea's recall. The Catholics assembled in the several pa, rishes and passed:resolutions expressive of regret and of attachment ; other bodies were convoked likewise; and in the Guild of Merchants a vote of • thanks to the Lord Mayor, for refusing to comply with the great requisition of noblemen and gentlemen for a general assembly to address Lord Anglesea on his departure, was with much difficulty, and after a sharp struggle on the part of the more moderate and reasonable portion of the Guild, passed without the appendage of a gross insult to the feelings of the Lord Lieute nant. But the masterpiece of all productions is the petition from the Grand Orange Institution of Ireland against the Catholics, which is a per formance almost infinite, in point both of mag nitude and of merit. After reciting the great services rendered by the Orange cats-o'-nine-tails during the rebellion of 1798, and professing gravely not to admit any Protestants, however zealous, into the ranks of the institution but such "as are incapable of persecuting or injuri ng any man on account of his religious opinions," the Orange grandees appear, not without reason, to suspect that such a confession as the last may hurt their reputation with a world which had given them credit for virtue far more unqualified and uncompromising ; and there fore, with admirable naivete, they invoke his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland as a witness to character—" an evidence," without appeal, " to the purity 2f our intentions." From the Duke of Cumberland, sliding on the easiest manner possible to the Jesuits, and thence to the Elective Franchise Act of 1793, the petitioners humbly pray that the Jesuits may be banished (for that we don't much quarrel with them), and that by the repeal of the. said Act of Parliament the Catholics may no longer he permitted to vote for representatives of the p eo pl e , or to act i n any manner as Magistrates of cities, towns, or bo roughs ! A blessed state should we soon arrive at, had such men the ear of his Majesty, or the confidence of the Legislature. There is, how ever, a redeeming fact in our condition. If his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, in the course of nature, shall become King of Han over—should it please Providence that such an event took place during the minority of a British Sovereign—the King of Hanover being then a foreign Prince, would, be excluded, by every principle of our Constitution, from all share in the Regency, and, by consequence, in the go vernment of these realms. We have, therefore, some chance of escaping the Orange Potentates at last.—Times. We call the attention of our readers to a sen sible article, in another column, which we have extracted from the Coventry Observer, on the subject of the Game Laws. " Under the present Code of Game Laws (says the writer), no gentleman is safe from the insults of ma rauders, even in his own dwelling. It is now quite common for hands of poachers to meet ;n regularly organized corrvanies, of from twenty to forty men. These persons act in concert under the command of leaders—beat or murder any one who interferes with them—and carryon their operations up to the very walls of bentlemen's seats, f rom th e v i c i n i t y o f w hi c h t h ey ear off their spoil in open defiance of the law ful owners. Something must be essenti a lly b a d in a state of thin gs l i k e this; no country in Europe offers any violation of social order so gross as the proceedings of armed gangs who in fest almost every county in England." It is calculated, by statistical writers, that of the 196 millions of people in Europe, 58 millions live in towns, and 138 millions in the country, giving a proportion of six in towns to fourteen in the country. The British dominions form a singu lar anomaly, for here the inhabitants of towns considerably out-number the inhabitants of the country. Yet such is the country chosen for the monstrous and impracticable experiment of ex cluding the inhabitants of towns from their share of a large class of animals eagerly desired as food, The result of this mad attempt is the civil war, as it is not inappropriately called, which has long been raging throughout the land, and which seems at length 'to have attained a height which must bring the stupid Aris tocrats to their senses. What must foreign nations think of the higher classes of Eng land, when they read such statements of the effects of their monstrous wickedness as those with which the papers daily teem ? It has never been denied, as far as we are aware, that the land and all that is fed on it belong to the nation inhabiting it, and that the right of property is a trust, to be held for the benefit of the nation. The landholder is suffered to oc cupy a part of that which belongs to the whole nation, merely because particular occupancy is supposed to be most advantageous to the cont.
