It is indeed impossible to conceive of any in- I crease to the political power of the Papists as a body, which will not in proportion to its extent impair the netuil security of the Protestant Church and Con stitution of Great Britain. -We know of nothing in the event of any change in the laws, for the limi tation of the political power of the Papists, which could deserve the name of a security, unless some arrangement could be devised by which as much power would be taken from them in one way as would be imparted. to them in another. , We believe that any such arrangement is impracticable, and that if it were practicable it would be nugatory ; and as a consequence of this opinion, we believe that no discussion upon the question of securities can ever be brought to a satisfactory issue. The Eng lish Church and Constitution are secure so long as the laws excluding the Catholics from power re main in force. Any other security that can be de vised will be precarious and problematical ; and this is the most cogent reason that can be imagined for the Protestants of England to declare that in that respect they will have no change. It is unhappily true, however, that the Catholics of Ireland are i kept n a state of excitement and turbulence by the Priests and Demagogues who delude arid tyrannize over them, which is in the highest degree detrimental to the welfare and prosperity of the State. The proper remedy for this evil is not to break down the bulwarks of the Constitution in order to please and flatter these mischievous Agitators, and at the same to add to their power and enhance their pretensions, but to make such laws as must effectually coerce or overawe them into silence, submission, and peace. To give tranquillity and happiness to Ireland, the British Constitution need not be subverted or impaired. These important ends may be accomplished with much greater certainty and .less cost by abolishing the forty-shilling franchise, by putting down the Catholic Association, by visiting its leading mem bers with the chastisement they have deserved so long and so well, and by prohibiting the future col lection of the Catholic Rent. Concession to the Catholics, as a means of promoting the pacification of Ireland, would be upon a level in point of ab surdity with the attempt to extinguish tire by pour ing oil into the flames.—Morning Post. POLICE - INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A Mr. Matthew Oliphant was charged before Mr. Alderman yesteiday, with having wan tonly " crippled a lantern" belonging to the ward of Cripplegate Without ; and also with having mali ciously endeavoured to do some personal damage to the bearer thereof, one John Denton, a watchman of the said ward. It appeared by John Denton's evidence that, just as ho had done " crying the one," yesterday morn ing, he heard " an uncommon growling and grum bling" on the' other side of the street.—" Conse quentially," quoth John Denton, " I crossed over 'to see what it might be, and, as I went, I held out my lantern before me, for fear I should be taken at a disadvantage ; but - I had no sooner set my foot upon the pavement than this gentleman's fist came right hang at the lantern, and crippled it completely. He was standing there quite alone by himself, and— " My good man," says I,- " you shouldn't do that !" But the words were no sooner fairly out of my mouth, than he takes up his right foot and makes a kick at me—in what part I won't say—but, if the kick had caught me, I should never have been my own man again ; and so I'll leave your Worship to guess. " Oh., ho !" thinks 1, "if you're a kicking customer, its time you were locked up !" and so I sprung my rattle, and got help, and we took him in hand to the watch-house." Mr. Matthew Oliphant made no attempt to reply to this charge;—he was evidently a man of few words; as, indeed, his alleged conduct would seem to signify. The Alderman asked him what he was, and he replied " A tobacconist ;" but he made no attempt to show why he had been guilty of such un-tobacconist-like conduct. " Cannot you speak, man ?" said :he Alderma►► ; " it seems you can strike, readily enough." " I have no recollection of having struck," replied Mr. Matthew Oliphant. " Then you were drunk, we'll suppose ?" said the Alderman. "I had been out with a few friends," replied Mr. Matthew Oliphant ; and, after a short pause, in which he seemed to be absorbed in some melancholy recollection, he added—" and what I took made me very :tire() iyb r t able ." " Why, then," said the Alderman, " you will pay fair the damage you have done to the lantern, and make the watchman some compensation for the trouble he has had with you, and you may be dis chargad." The parties withdrew—to arrange, as the Court presumed ; but in a few minutes thereafter it was announced that Mr. Matthew Oliphant had declared that !e would neither pay for the lantern, nor give the watchman one farthing for his trouble ; and, therefore, he was ordered to rind bail fur his appear ance to answer it at the Sessions. .NOTE.—The tobacconists seem to be running rampant of late ; for this is the fourth member of that craft charged with the like anti-pacific conduct within the last few days, CosTAR v. DENNY.—In this case, Mrs. Charlotte Delray was charger] with disturbing the peace, and threatening the life, and breaking the windows, and splitting the transparea‘y, of Mrs. Anne Costar., Mrs. Ann Costar is an eminent chimney-sweeper ess and free-woman cf the City, and a woman of some weight in society—nineteen stone, or there about ; and, like the lady of the celebrated Captain Wattle, " she. has but one eye, but that one is a piercer." Mrs. Charlotte Denny, on the other hand, is a little bit of a woman, very melancholy in her temperament, and very miserable in her attire ; and it appeared that having been deserted by her hus band, she will have it that the portly Mrs. Anne Costar has got him concealed some where or other, in her pocket possibly, if the pocket is of a size suitable to its wearer, and the husband a man of or dinary dimensions. The loss of a nl on the one part, and supposed concealment of him on the other, has been the cause of frequent disputes between theta, though there seems to be no other ground for Al rs. De nny's suspicion than that her husband (Ace occupied a " three-pair-back," in the house of the immense cliimney-swceperess; who is herself the happy wife of a second husband, and therefore, as she very judi ciously observed, she " could have no occasion what ever for the husband of any other lady." Be this as it may, however, Mrs. Denny persists in going there to demand her husband, and he nut being forthcoming she did the deeds alleged against her—that is to say, broke four panes of glass, and " split and spoiled a beautiful transparency illustra tive of the art of chimney-sweeping—personal and mechanical." Mrs. Denny had nothing to say in defence; and not being prepared to pay 30s.—the amount of damages as assessed—she was ordered to remain under the care of the Governor of Bridewell for a day or two, in order to give her time to write to her friends. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Hutchins, the young man who complained at this office on Monday night of having been griev nuzly assaulted by Mr. Price, the lessee of Drury lane,tenewed hi s application for a warrant against that gentleman, who, he said, engaged him two months ago to act as butler and footman, Mr. Price keeping no other m an - servant . O n S un d ay even i ng M r . Price gave a large dinner party, on which occasion two extra waiters were employed to assist the ser vants, and it was understood that the former were to take charge of the plate. In the course of the evening Mr. Price's housekeeper found fault with the complainant for not having sufficiently brightened one of the articles of plate, and informed Mr. Price of his neg;igeuce, wh o, aft er t h e company h a d d eparte d , called him up i nto the drawing room at three o'clock in tile morning. The complainant pro ceeded to obey his master's commands, but on the tbreahold'of the door he was encountered by Mr. Price, who held a lighted candle in his hand, which he thrust three times in the complainant's face, and burnt a considerable portion of his hair. On the latter telling Mr. Price that he would throw him over the stairs, if he repe,itcd the assault, that gen tleman replied," I'll break your head for you," and immediately seized him by the collar with one hand, whilst he struck him across the bt.ck with a poker which he held in the other. A violent scuffle en sued between them, which ended in Mr. Price being thrown down on the stairs ; and the housekeeper then-called in the watchman, and the complainant was taken to the watch-house, where he remained all night. Mr. ROE said, it was somewhat strange that the complainant did not mention one word of Mr. Price's violent assault upon him when he was brought up from the watch-house on Monday morning. . . . The complainant replied, that he was almost a stranger in London, and being exhausted by a night's confinement, he was unable to describe Mr. Price's ill-treatment towards him. Mr. ROE—Are you sure that you were not under the influence of intoxication, when all this took place ? Complainant—l will swear I was not, Sir; I only drank a glass of porter during the whole evening; but Mr. Price himself was very tipsy. Mr. ROE—As a Magistrate, I would not be justi fied in refusing you a warrant, if you swear that Mr. Price struck you first ; therefore you may have one. The complainant then retired to have the warrant made out. It is, however, due to Mr. Price to state that Hutchins did not apply for the warrant until after he had refused two months' wages, which Mt. Price offered him. UNION-HALL.. George Philip Easton, a lighterman, was yester day brought before the Magistrates of this office, at the instance of the parochial authorities of St. Sa viour's, Southwark, charged with neglecting to pro vide for his wife and family. About three weeks ago the defendant appeared to answer an accusation brought against him by his wife, who then entered into a long history of his misconduct. The immediate charge on that occa sion was, for beating her severely. It seems that he can earn from 31. to 41. a week at his business. Lately he has been engaged at St. Katherine's Docks. His wife represented him as living with a young woman, to whom he had given money in abundance, and whom he dressed out iu fashionable attire. He admitted. that he was living with a girl, but denied having given her what was stated. After a vain endeavour to induce both parties "to forget and forgive," and once more live under the same roof, the defendant agreed to allow his wife a pound a week, with which sum she said she would be contented, although he would have thrice aat amount to spend on his own dissipations. The assault charge► was then abandoned, and each retired separate ways from the office. The defendant not having complied with the con ditions, and the parish officers having advanced his wife the prescribed sum, he was now called to reim burse their. He said that he could not, and was then committed for one month to Brixton., MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MAnKETS. (From the London New Price Current of Tuesday.) SuoAn.—The Sugar Market remained all last week in a very languid state ; the purchases were only 1,500 to 1,600 hhdo. and tierces. No general reduction the prices could be stated, but the Market was exceedingly heavy, and the soft browns could lee purchased on rather lower terms. The de liveries of Sugar from the Warehouses last week were nearly 3,000 'bads. and trs., being 475 more than the corresponding week of last year ; the stock is noiv only 1,815 hhds. and trs. more than in 1827. At the close of the Market the estimated purchases of Sugar this day were 800 hhds. and trs., including the Barbadoes public sale ; the demand appears to be increasing. The prices are a shade lower. The Refined Market last week was is a very depressed state ; low Lumps were purchased at a reduction of Is. a Is. 6d., and all other goods were 6d. to Is. lower ; some lumps were reported 6d. to Is. under our reduced quotations, but the sale could not be taken as a fair criterion of the Market. 'Molasses were dull and lower. The Refined Market this af ternoon remained in the same languid and depressed state we have mentioned. FOREIGN SUGARS.—In Foreign Sugars no pur chases were reported. Last week further arrivals, 600 chests Brazil Sugars were reported. . . EAST INDIA SUGARS.—East India and Mauritius Sugars have been neglected; no sales have lately been reported. WEST INDIA MoLAssris.—Ti.ere were no sales of West India Molasses last week. COFFEE.—In consequence of the languid Market there were only small parcels of Jamaica and Dutch Coffee brotrin forward last week by public sale, the whole went off very heavily, but we cannot quote any reduction in the prices. In Foreign Coffee no transactions were reported. There were no sales of Coffee this forenoon. RUM, BRANDY, AND liou-ANDs.—The purchases of Rum are quite inconsiderable, the prices may be stated nominal. The sales of Brandy are confined to small parcels of five and ten puns. for shipping. In Geneva there have been no sales lately of any extent. HEMP, FLAx, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow market was very heavy last week, but we think there was yesterday and this forenoon a better demand, and the prices are a shade higher. Hemp is rather lower. In Flax there is no material alteration. The letters from S!. Petersburgh are dated Nov. Fit h. Ex change, 10(1. 17-32. CoTToti.--The Cotton mallet continues very dull, the sales quite inconsiderable ; 200 Swats, 4 1 1 d. a 41-d.; 50 Bengal L 4d. a 4 d.; 40 Demerara, 71d. a Sd. flops.--The few purchases of Hops reported are at rather lower prices ; several parcels of Sussex iu pockets are reported at tower rates. SILK TRAlM—Deputations from every class of the Silk Trade of England waited upon Ministers last week, praying that further measures might be adopted for their protection. The only Minister present was the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he merel.f stated their ease would be immediately crsnsidered by the Nlioistry, and any protection in their power to grant during the recess, should be (Ti SILKS.- - Silks remain dull, but without any ma terial alteration in the prices.

The accounts yes terday from Calcutta are to the 24th of July ; the statements as to the Judie viola are contradictory, but generally we think they are more unfavourable than the former accounts. FRurr.—Nearly all the sound Currants offered at public sale last week wore taken in at 905.,, the da maged sold at 8-1.9. a 89s.

Surprised ut this unexpected attack, the fisherman grappled with his scaly adversary, and a struggle ensued. 11 is companion, the spectator of this novel species of com luat, fearing lest the pike nild escape, mid again betake himself to the lipid element, thing his net over the two combatants, and then carefully extricating them, restored his mate to the helm, and deposited the warlike pike in the hold of the fishitig.boat. - -Morning Paper. few 565. ; 20 qr. chests, 240 small boxes, 2243 car toons, 4.88 half cartoons Imperial French Plums; qr. chests 101 s. a 19.65., small boxes 1055., cartoons 61. 6s. a 71. 78., half cartoons 9/.
