EDITOR—The Mercantile and Manufac turing Interests have been much alarmed at what they conceive to be the rlinons consequences which would result from the alteration in the ►aw of Settlement of Paupers, contemplated by and propostd in the bill of Mr. STURGRS BOURNS. The Committee at the Leeds Workhouse yes terday transmitted, by an unanimous Resolution, a Petition to Mr. WORTLEY, for presentation to the House of Commons, against the projected measure. I apprize you of this circumstance, from a con viction that the Bill is fraught with most ruinous consequences to the inhabitants of all large towns, and that no time should be lost in watching and opposing its Progress. I atm, Sir, Your most obedient Servsnt, GEO. MUDIE, Ed. Leeds Independent. FOR THE SUN. Enrroa—The following Answer of Lord FRANKFORT, &c. is So much to the point, and so opportune, that 1 ant induced to send it to a Newspaper so highly respected for its zeal for Protestantism as your patriotic Journal. A. B. To JOSEPH THFATORD, Egg. Sia—l have received, through your communi cation, the Besoluttons of Thanks of the Grand thange L•dge Of the County ot Nlonaghan. I request yott may convey to that Body these my respectful sew iments. I have not been in the halm ot emering into party distinctions, hut the t , onloct ot the Rotunda Aggregate Meeting, and the subservient violence ot their abettors, render union ot all (lasses of Protestants necessary at the pres•nt crisis; and the judgment and opinion of Protestants, amongst which are all Orange LAges, are highly praiseworthy. Whon the Ca.holics asset t that the Protestants are in favour of their claims in the extent in which that asser -60,1 used, it is positive falsehood and non sense. kVould the Protestan's of this realm con sent to put them on a perfect equality—the Throne,_ the Legislature . ,, the Patrimony of the ci,nrch, the Bench, the Army and Navy ?f Could a Protestant Evablishment exist under such a levelling system ? Perseverance unbounded in outrage and intimi dation must be met with dignified firmness by Protestants ; and you may depend on your King and Parliament (notwithstanding th e unfortunate division in the King's Councils) that Political Power can never be conceded to the Papibts of Ireland. Fon THE SUN. To his Royal Highness the ININC6 RFORNT of the United Kingdom of England and Ireland, and to the Two Houses of Parliament. The day ii near at hand on which the following . great Question will be agitated in the Commons [louse of Parliament : Is it for the happiness of the United Kingdom—in other words, •is it necessary for the existence, and to the freedom, of the United Kingdom, from treason and bloodshed, that the Catholics be admitted into a full participation with their Protestant brethren, in all things relating to the State, be fore Parliament in its wisdom bath abrogated the Act of Par !lament of Henry V 111., which declares the King of England to be the supreme Head of Church and State; and also the Act of Parliament of the settlement of the Crown of Eng land in a line Olen and thenceforward purely Protestant ? This is a momentous question, which I dare as a Lawyer, to press into the consideration of your Royal High ness; and of you, the Peers; and of you, the Honourable Members of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom because upon your cherishing, or rejecting it, depends the misery or happiness of the United Kingdom. I shall abstain from rudely giving my opinion ; and content myself by putting a few questions, resulting from the former question, whiCh I feel, from a consideration of the nature and tendency of the very solemn oaths I took on being called to the bar, I am imperatively called on, by conscience, to place before your Royal Highness ; and you, the Peers of Parliament; and you, the Honourable Members of the Commons House of Parliament. Of my first question, there naturally arises a second— namely—Which is the parent Church ? the Catholic or the Protestant ? Hence, as there is no one but will concede that the Romish Church is the parent Church, a third question is afforded me namely—Kith a parent a right to expect, require, and de: mand implicit obedience on the part of the child ?—or bath the child a right to expect, require, and demand obedience from the parent ? By the law human, which is of the taw divine, the child shall be obedient in ail things to his parent ; so long as, in obeying his parent, he offend not the law of God, or the laws of the land, made for the conservation of the peace of society. This gives birth to a fourth question—namely—What will be the consequence, when the parent (the Romish Church) cannot succeed in commanding his Protestant child ? and vice versa the parent will not submit to the rule laid down by his child and his household ?--ti other words, when each con ceives, and obstinately maintains to the last drop of his blood, that his own course is the best ? The fifth and final rely serious question I shall put is— What is to become of the Protestant Peers and Protestant Gentry of Ireland, when deserted by the Protestant peasantry, wlio are daily emigrating from their country (I am well in formed) by reason of the dreadf►►l ills they believe will befal them, in case the Catholic hotly obtain the concessions they require ? I have the honour to subscribe myself, Your very obedient humble Servant, JOl-11V HAWFSEY ACHERLEY. Batb, and Grosvenor-place, near Bath, April, 18t9.

CATULLUS.—(No. O Corolla qua' etipis pate ludere Et satire paratum habes : sed vereris inepta, CoLoNitn, who lov'st on a long bridge to plan And would'st dance, were it nut from a fear that' the sta), Ou small but ments propt, yielding, down bridge should go, And sink nc'er to rise in the dark gnlpli May'st thou with a bridge to thy heart's content meet, Strong enough to support the quick rope-dancer's feet, If thou to the frolicsome trick wilt incline I wish to hare play'd on a Freed-man of mine.

FOR THE SUN. NEW GAME BILL. MR. EDITOR—It has been presumed fratber too hastily 1 think) that when Game becomes pro petty and saleable, it will soon become more abundant, that poaching will cease, and crime will be diminished. It has been said, that the penal ties under the Game Laws are too severely dis• proportioned to the offence, and that their abo lition is required by the laws of humanity and the rights of nature; but some of these opinions are so inconsistent in themselves, and others so contradictory, that they are tar from cart ying conviction with them. What have the rights of nature to do with mankind in a state of eiviliza tion ? or why are they to be in force in this solitaty in,tanee, when in every other esie they are abridged ? In fact, it is a mere pretence. By the rights ef nature strength would prevail and would take what it pleased ; reservation and preserva don would he out of the question; and that it is a mere pretence, I appeal to the very first step pro posed to be taken upon making Game property, viz. " that the penalties against the Poacher Most be made tremendously severe "* What then becomes of that boasted humanity? If the offence of poaching be made Felony, how will the crime be diminished ? Mitt it would be less frequently committed seems very much to be doubted, un less indeed it' happens (as I strongly suspect it • will) that the Game will he nearly extirpated, fur if the penalty upon the unqualified man for hav ing Game in his possession shall be !aken away, the chief, if not the only safeguard, of its protec tion will he taken away with it. If pool ry can not be kept but in a locked up hen-house within gunshot of the owner's chamber window, which is known to be the case, what chance of escape will the pheasant have that roosts on the exposed hazel ? It has not, like the speckled hen, Marks by which it can be known and sworn to, and the only means that will remain of detecting the of fender, will be to catch him in the act of stealing it, which will be so difficult that gentlemen will no longer care to be at the great expence of pre serving what others will so easily reap the be nefit of, and where there are no preserves there is no Game. As to the laws of humanity, let the country gentlemen take care—nee ista illis me suetudo et miserieordia in miseriam venial. They plainly see that the advocates for the Bill cry down the penalties in the old law as too severe, and yet call them forth again with increased se venty in the new, making that a felony which was before only a penal offence, and this under an idea that it will diminish crime, as if tho , e supposed rights of nature would not still have the Same influence over the minds of men ; if those, who now go. out in armed gangs, with hill intent to commit murder, should occasion reqiiite it, would be deterred by the name of felony, and as if they would be less daring as their detection became more difficult.. It is understood, that Lords of Manors are stilt to depute Gamekeepers as before, but that every Farmer is to have ar right to kill Game on his own farm.' Now, it two persons go to the same purse, there will soon he a scramble for the con. tents. The Gamekeeper will shoot to the List bird, end the Farmer will some how or other re taliate at night on the Lord's demesne. A CONS VA&T READER. it See the late Debates on the subject.
