CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION, for OPPOSING the PROGRESS of DISLOYAL and SEDITIOUS PasistnE•Si T.—Sir JOHN SEWELL, LL.D. F.R.S. E CONST LT UTI ONA ASSOCIA, TION, was formed in December 1820. Its establish.: mem was called for by the alarming influence of a licentious Press in disseminating Disloyal-and Seditious Feinciples—an evil which had become the general subject of complaint in nu merous Loyal Addresses and Resolutions, throtighont all parts of the kingdom. Zeilously attached to the Legal and Constitutional Liberty of the Press, the Association stood forthto guard this great - and invaluable privilege from perversion and abuse; and for thia pur- Pose it proposed to itself two especial objects—the encourage ment of loy a l an d a bl e writings in support of the Constitution ; and the restraint of Seditious and Treasonable Libels. The Association had soon the satisfaction to number among tts auPporters persons of the highest rank and respectability in the state : Members of both Houses of Parliament, Magistrates, Il etgY , and others, wtiose, names have been made public in for meradvertisentents. The Committee, to whom was entrusted rite task of carrying into effect the purposes of the Association, have unceasingly devoted their exertions to this great duty.— They have, in strict conformity with the original avowal of the principl es of the Association, invariAblO leave from mingl, tug in th e party politics of the day. They neither mint nerated any work in support of party prihciples; nor have they prosecuted any libel on personal character, however elevated ; but they have encouraged attempts to illustrate constitutional' doctrines, and they have endeavoured to restrain publications subversive o f t h e resshict due to the Sovereign, to - the Consti tuted Authorities of the State, to the public Administration of Justice, and to the Civil and Religious Institutions of the Em igre. It was their desire, by encouraging writers of integrity and talent, to persuade rather than to punish. But, against publications of lucre invective and malevolence, directed. not'to the jud gment, but to the baser passions of mankind, argument and reasoning arc or no avail ; and it became necessary, in se , veral flagrant instances, to consign offenders of this description to the punishment of the law. • The.COmmittee, h owever, did not adopt this last measure without great caution. Anxious to warn the ignorant, and un willing to proceed againat any but wilful transgressors, they ( 'aused A short, but clear exposition of the Law of Libel to be Uprinted and distributed among the venders of Impious and Se ntilusbooks and that ; and no prosecution was commenced it appear e d the warning thus given had been ineffectual.altoge- I T ra e as i cea (vi owv eeQuery In the sante spirit of moderation 4 1 eY em ilidpogrecutunriittyy o g f iv e en xe , reising lenity, where contrition creepered. limas that , the offence. would .not be be proper to add, that the Committee tiro .ne.dc d only he plam, legal, and constitutional course by eminuncut ; t b t tileY preferred no bill but by the advice of vi.cent Counsel ; that every 'publication prosecuted by them, to l e tt has hitherto come before Court,. has been pronounced wed at beanth itjelquutitete;tl7d an t). defendant by that in. no one instance. has tra . ve,,, eu P : ev g r e er y , ° st f e tlyir operations the Committee have been They will 'not allude to the personal ". 1 9 1 IY land misrepresentation which they have so eflectually PPelJed, nor to the alleged unlawfulness of measures which declared by the highest judicial authorities to be but the effect of the dexterity any management rt e d on behalfet the ac cused to defeat the ends of justice , been such as to impose great additional labour on the Corn 4rtudottelee,nttoupleroec; astinate the proceedings, and. very greatly to pence of prosecutien. The sums. subscribed to the present moment are considerably under Seven Thousand Pounds and it is scarcely necessary to observe, th a t the services of the' Committee (all- of whom are contributors to the funds or rho Association) have been per fectly gratuitous. The disburseinents have consisted in the re muneration of Loyal Writers,. in the;pablication of Traets, in e the heavy essence of Advertisements and Printing, in Law hhaayregfeesitfoitrtthheeirndeyuumerous Prosecutions which the Committee to institute or to defend, and in Rent, Sa lariea to Clerk s , an d other incidental payments, during a 'Period, hof nearly t wo years and a half. Or the succ ess o f t h eir measures, the Committee may refer to te diminished circulation of those Seditious Libels, which rendered the Association necessary ; and to the suppression of those odious prints which condense within the compass of a Vage the poison of a volume. The convictions obtained against. some of the most hardened and persevering violators of the •latw have operated as salutary examples to deter others; an d the beneficial.effect on public morals and public tranquillity is 100 marked not to strike the most cursorteobserver. Sedition and Disloyalty, however, though checked, are not eradicated ; and it' is with deep regret that the Committee have, ii ceody seen degraded rank and perverted talent enlisted in this evil cause. To meet Such adversaries fUither exertion is still ; A ce a'arY; and the 'Committee appeal to the Friends of the. lociation, and to the Public in general, for additional sup.; P o rt, confident that they shall receive it from all, those who feel en interest i n t h e welfare of their country ; and who, like them re; are sensibl e o f t h e d anger to ~w h ic h it s R e l ig i on , i ts orals, and its Constitution, are still exposed.

LE'r LT BRIM.; E reminded the House of the situation in which the motion of which he had given notice, on the hqb ject of Agricultural Distress, now stood. It had so happened, that the House had been occupied for three nights successively on. a question of great public importance, on account of which his motion had stood over. It was then proposed by the Secre tary of State that the House should adjourn over the next day. Of this he did not complain, but it had caused his motion to be put off again. It was th en agreed that it should be t a k en on Iridaz, on which day. the Hon.' Member for Wareham was also to bring forward his motion but it noW appeared that the understanding which had been come to was not sanctioned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wished to ask what was the intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman.?. HOUSE OF LOR DS, MAY 6. Marquis CAMDEN presented a:petition from the Corpora.. tion of Bath, against the General Gaols Bill. The Duke of GRAFTON presented a petition from Had leigh, in the county of Suffolk, praying a mitigation of the evils of Slavery. Lord CALTHORPE presented a petition from the inhabi tants of Buty St. Edmund's, with a similar prayer to that of the preceding petition.—The several petitions were ordered to lie on the table. .. Mr. LAMBTOX i Mr. S. WiiITTIREAD, and other Members of the House of Commons, brought rip several Private Bills, which were read the first time. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the Hon. Baronet was wrong in supposing that he had not given his sanction to the understanding which had been conic to. The only difficulty was in arranging the many important motions, of which notice had been given, so as to adroit of the inquiry into the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin being proceeded with immediately.. Mr. CALCRAFT was willing to promote . the views of the House with respect to the inquiry, by consenting. to. the,post.. ponenient of his motion, on the understanding that priority should be conceded to him so soon as the inquiry would per mit. He could wish a day to be fixed then, but if this could not be done, he should be satisfied with the understanding which he had suggested. Mr. Secretary PEEL , thought the best practical course would be to go into the inquiry at once, or in a conversation with respect to the motions of which notice had been given, a couple of hours would probably be lost. One of the motions stood in a peculiar situation.--that of the Hon. Member for. Knares borough, on the subject of the criminal laws, the House having &Jared last Session its determin a tion t o take up that question early in this. Notwithstanding the resolution 'to which lie alluded, nothing had been tiOne up to the present hour. He, however, thought it would be desirable to proceed with the inquiry at once. A person from the Treasury presented Superannuation Re. turns. THE LATE NEGOCIATIONS. Earl GREY adverted to the notice which he had given on a former day, of a motion for additional papers, which stood for to-morrow • and understanding that to-morrow would be an in convenient day for many Noble Lords, he was desirous of post. poningit ; but as Thursday. was it day 011 4.;hich the House did not Sit, and Friday would he very iniarreenient to himself; he WAS driven to name ao late a day as Monday, though he was desirous of giving some explanation in reply to observations which had been made on his conduct with respect to the Spa nish question, as if his opinion on that sub,lectliad been differ ent at a former period tro m t h at w hi c h he now entertained. His opinions on the Spanish question were precisely the same now as ever, but that was a secondary matter ; heonly now rose to move that the order forsurnmoning their Lordships on Wed nesclay be discharged, and that the House be summoned for Monday next.—Agreed to. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN WALES. Lord CAWDOR, after stating the many inconveniences re sulting from the pment mode of administering Justice' in Wales, concluded by moving that the Report of the Select Corn_ mince of the House of Commons (a copy of which had been communicated to their Lordships) should be refeired to the Committee now sitting on the state of Appeals. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, without entering into the merits of the question, objected to the motion on the ground that till the very important subjects which were already before that Committee were disposed of, it would be highly inexpe dient to burden them with any fresh matters; and more parti cularly as there was a bill betore the other House for remedying the abuses in the administration of justice -in Wales, which, when it came before their Lordships, would give an opportu nity for considering the subject. Lord COLCHESTER said his opinion on the evils result ing from the separate jurisdictions in Wales was still unchang ed ; but he had always considered any remedy to be applied as combined with thepossibility and expediency of increasing the number of Judges in England. Ile uk,need in opinion with th e Noble Earl' (I.lverpoOl)that the "mot ion of the Noble Lord was quite foreign to the subject under the consideration of their Lordshipii Committee now sitting, i•nd that it would be better to defer am steps till the bill came from'the other House. The LORD CI EA NCELLOR assured the Noble Lord (Calvticrr) that he had no knowledge Whatever of -the bill be fore the other House, except that he had learnedfrom the news- Tapers there Was such a bill in Progress : if it reached that House, he assured the Noble Lord he should give it hi s unpre . judiced_attention._ • _ . Sir. .1. MACKINTOSH briefly explained the Circumstances under which his motion on the subject of the Criminal Laws had been delayed, and expressed himself willing to postpone it, important as it was, for a short time longer, to suit the conve nience of the House. - • • Mr. BECHEft Offered a few words, which.wer6 nearly audible in the Gallery. , He Was understood to concur in the arrangement made for proceeding with the inquiry: SHERIFF OF DUBLIN. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved the Order of the. Day for the House resolving itself into a Committee to inquire into the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin. Col. BARRY said he. feared that die inquiry would not .ter.. minute this week, because in consequence of what passed last night he should think it necessary to call othir witnesses from After some conversations as to the disposal of certain Notices from different MeMbers, standing .for the days expected to be occupied by the inquiry, the House went into the Committee. PLUNKETT said, that he had been desired to make a communication to the House, which was not, perhaps, regu. lar ; but he had thought it right to comply with the request. The House would recollect that in the inquiry of last night the exiunination of a witness; .named ill'Connell, retlectedupon the commercial character of an individual who had applied to .hiin, named , Witdden.n In consequence of what. that witness said, llir. Wadden:had desired him by letter 'to state to the House that he had not. left Ireland to avoid his . creditors, and that although a Commissien of .111mkruptcy had been issued against him, that Commission had afterwards been superseded: - • The Marquis of BUTE, though he concurred in the ulterior objects whirl' the Noble Lord (Cawdor)•had in view, yet he crld not bat agree that the 'objection which the Noble Litrl (Liverpool) made to the coin- F ie of proceeding W 8.3 well - - - After . e few words, in reply, from Lord (I,swi)ou, the quo'. tion was put, and negatired without a divisiou.—Adjourned till to-morrow (this atty.) Sir It. ITIMON - e•XpresSed his wish that 111 embers examin. ing witnesses would ilace themselves further from th e liar, so that the witnesses might he heard ; 'Knit that 'Members tionvers. ing on other subjems would not deem it abSolutely necessary to do so within the llouse. Barrett Wadden was then callei and examined.

Saturday following, and he expressed his su n rise at the condrict of Sheriff Thorpe, in W.litisa complifly he 'had been the night before; Ilia words were thm.--" The, Sheriff not only chewed great ignora . nee, but his conduct was so extra o rd inary tharl thought !Tie .could not have the right use of his senses. There were present the Sheriff, the Sheriff's Ladv, Mrs. Sibthorpo, Mrs. Sibihorpe's daughter, John Al 4 Connell, and William Graham, one of the rioters. They were playing at cards. Graham turned up the knave of clubs, and said, that was the Lord Mayor, anti he wished that he was out of office, and that he could hanhim up. Mrs: Sibthorpe, who 'int in a corner of the room asked him how he. could do that, 'Oral - nun being a little man. lie answer. ed that he could jump up and reach his throat. The Sheriff said; "'Damn the Marquis of Wellesley ; he'll do no good for this country tilt he's out of SOine one present asked the Sheriff what was likely to he done with the persons concerned' its the iiht.

Graham, Mr. 4 tutterworth, Air. P.Aloore, Sir J. Mackintosh, and Mr. Alarryat participated, the eland,. was agreed to, and the Bill. was Passed. Sir R.

PORTS.LA :FISHER • BILL Mr. -POVNTZ moved the second reading of the Portsca Fishery Bill. Mr. BERNAL opposed theinotion ; and moved asan amend nient, that the Bill should be read a 3CC.JuiI time on that - day. six months. • — Sir L COFFIN objected to the restreints. proposed to be enacted by this. Bill. M r.• YN TZ defended the measure. • The 'ATTORNEY-GENERAL protested against the prin ciple of the Bill, as an infringement on public fights. .11r. W. SMITH spoke - on'the same 111 r. HURST stateti'lhe sole object of the framing of the Bill to have been, to protect and encourage ,the fishery. Mr. SY K ES'opposed the Bill. • Mr. H USK ISSON had been requested to bring. ins Bill on this subject but had not complied, as he had had some doubts of the expediency of doing so ; but at the same time he con. iddered 'it a great hardship that foreigners should come to 'our shores and carry off by their mod e of dredging, not the mature fish, but the infant oyster, in such a state ghat it must be preserved elsewhere for a time before it could be fit for consumption. He admitted that t h e evilought to , be reme died, but thought this ought to be effected not by a local Bill, but by a public Act. It the present measure,were withdrawa, and a public mu introduced, he should be ready to give it his support. After a feW words frog: Sir W. ryz Ctizsrtosr the House divided, when the numbers were._ For the Amendment • - - 97 • Against it . - 39 ' Majority - -—5 O The Bill was therefore lost, The SPEAKER directed the attention of the House to the hour at which they 'ere then arrived,,and wished to know if it wire their pleasure to proceed further with the private business. After a short pause, there was a'cry of " t.io on," and the House accordingly proceeded to the second reading of the LIAIERICK TAXATION BILL Mr. S. RICE called the attention of the H ouse to t hi s mea sure. He contended that great abuses Lad prevailed in the City of Limerick, and he therefore hoped that the House would not pass the measure over as one of small importance, because it was local. He proceeded to describe the mai-practices which this Bill was intended to correct, and stated . these to have taken from the Consolidated Fund not less than 1,008/ . , Mr. WODEHOUSE supported the measure, and said that facts bid - C(oe out before the Committee, on the affairs of the City of 'Limerick, which were revolting to every honourable feeling. Mr. O'G RADY spoke in behalf of the Corporation of Lime rick, tend stated the . members of it .to be; may to d e f en d t h e i r charter and their conduct in any court in which they might be permitted to do so. He considered theM entitled to every at tention front the House. He moved as an amendment, that the Bill should be read a second time on that day six months. The tunendinent was not seconded, and the Bill was read a second dine, and ordered to be committed. BUSINESS OV,THE HOUSE. Sir R. HERON - wished to know what Course WAR to be taken with the business of the night, and whether theyy were to go on et an early hour with the inquity into the conduct of the sheriff' of Dublin, or whether the notice of a Noble Lord Was first to be proceeded with F The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER understood it to hive been the purpose of the House, on the preceding night, to go early into the inquiry this day. A satisfactory arrange ment could not be made without the consent of all sides. The Noble Lord opposite, who had a right to claim Precedence, had consented to give way, it his motion could be takennext week, in the orde r i n whi c h - it now stood, as c ompared w i t h Others. If the Hon. Member for Knaresborough would con sent to - m postpone hisotion, which stood fa r T ues d ay, he fiat tered himself, there would be no indisposition to let the Noble Lord take p rece d ence on t h at day.

" On .the Thurs day following, communicated. this to the Government ; stated to thif . Atiorney-General the principal part of what he has stated now. Das been very unfortunate in trade; after having a large business, and a good deal of money, has lost it . all; has heen'a hinkrupt, and the commission was s uper s ed e d ; ha s never been compelled to leave Ireland, or his house, for one moment, - to avoid his creditors—his only two creditors, that is, if all his other debts, such as any man keeping' house must haVe--they would not amount to 151. Examined by Col. liannY—The part of the conversation witness stated to the Attorney-General, was that of the expres sions used by Graham. Did not mention to him that Sheriff Thorpe said he had the Orange pannel in his pocket ; • did tot tell.him ad, because the Attorney-G enera l was acquainted with the fact at first. John AP - Cannel was sent forte the Castle and examined upon oath,'and then swore to what habad told witness. The examination then turned upon private and, domestic facts, which could not properly be made public ; .nor could some discussions which took place relating to them. William Poole was then called in and examined—Occopi4s lands; has been'a Member of the Corporation since 1802; longs to the Corporation of Brewers; resided in Dublin during the time of the riot at the theatre; was daily in Dublin during that time; remembers the trials; knows Mr. Sheriff Thorpe; for several years has known bins ; had some conversation with him respecting a'Jury, before the riot took place : I told bun I wished to be on the next Jury ; it was about the middle of November; he said I should be; I was not upon that Jury. 1 told and w h i as m t l m t li h t d f u a g r n h t h s ehad broke station :hesa ti his said it word was m fo o r tarty ssi be p t tt a rr l loesaesse, all parties ; -he had a hard card to ,play : j alluded to a Alt. Sutter who had been conspicuous in dressing the statue; 'had assisted to oust Mr. Sutter from the - Brewer's Company; Sheriff Thorpe said that conciliation would not do for that Jury ; the Sheriff is intimate with Mr. Sutter; I knew of no cause for excluding_ me from the Jury, except what took place between me and Mr . Sutter; there had been no difference between me and the Sheriff; except political differences ; I did not see him until the clinker day afterwards ; he then took my hand, and. said he hoped every thing would be 'forgotten, a nd that We should be good friends ; I went away without saying any thing. Hi asked me to his Civic Dinner but I did not go. There has been another Assembly' since ; I saw the Sheriff' there. A vote of censure waspoposed upon the Attorney-General; I moved an amendriient,. but the Sheriff' declared the original motion to be carried. Examined by Colonel BARRY—My reason for wishing to be on the grand Jury was that I thought a question would COITIe on between Lord Roam - tore and a Mr. 0 Meant ; I stated this to the Sheriff; "applied - "applied - to Sheriff Cooper to be on the jury; he then told ins that my conciliation speech was the 'cause my not being on the pannel ; I did not know the twzinatien against Air.

An irregular conversation here arose, in the course of which Mr. OBEY BENNET said, he thought the witness ought, to be admonished, as he considered the witness's conduct to iv! highly indecent. Sir J. NE WronT and Mr. C. Fonnrs defended the witness. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, it was common everyday .in London for a person to ask to be put on the grand jury. Sir ROBERT SHAW was sure the witness had no linen:. tion of giving the smallest offence to the noose. The witness was then called in, and informed by the Cti.4;1,.. MAN, that in his answers he was to avoid making tiny allusion to the persons who put the questions, and to consider then; as put through the Chair ; but that ho was not to refrain feOis, stating any thing he might think necessary to hisjustificatiou. The last question was read by the short-band writer, and the wimps was told he might go into the explanation he haq spoken of. The witness again adverted to Members of the Iloutte in the course of his statement. • Lord MILTON admonished the witness that he must not mention any Member, or comment upon any thing that wa:4 uttered in that Bouse. The witness expressed his willingness to proceed with.his statement, but could not finds way of doing so, he said, y ieL out adverting to the Ildn. Member for Armagh. Mr. ,ABERCROMBY .suggested that the difficulty iiiight be overcome by his describing what he Wished to remark upon as something which he had somewhere Seem The witness was here ordered to withdraw. Sir GEORGE HILL contended that the witness must not in any way be permitted to deliVer his commentary from that bar on what he had heard or seen in that House; STURGESS BOURNE thought it would be unfair'th preclude the witness from alluding to what had been uttered, reflecting upon his character. • Mr. BROWN LOW said, that he, fur one, was most anxious that the witness should be allowed to advert to any thing he (Mr. Brownlow) might be supposed to have stated to the pro , juclice of his character. The witness having been called in, stated, as well as Wer could understand him, that he had seen something imputed to him in a newspaper relative to his having offered a compromks to be pia upon th e grand j ur y, w hi c h be declared, in the face of that Honourable Assembly, to be as gross a libel as ever was uttered.

Ir. JONES said he only asked the question with reference to that which had been imtnetliately before put to the witness. maintained, the . propriety of the question he had put. Mr. OOULIIURN observed, that it could not be useful ro demand the witness's inference from facts from which it was in the power of every Member' in the House to draw au in. ference. Mr. WILLIAMS said that it appeared to him that:the Right Moo. Sgeretalys .and the. Hon. Baronet, had tot* mis. taken the object of inquiry, on that side of the House.
