In addition totheinformation whichwe gave lyesterday from Lisbon, we have this day to an 011nce further particulars to the 14th inclusive. 8 t appears that Don MIGUEL has made no pro e_as whatever in organizing his Grand Army. ASaturday last he remained at Lisbon issuing r u - clamations, and making decrees against those are inimical to himself or his mother. One helamation offers pardon to deserters, who, if Y will be mad enough to return, will make Don 'IGUEL's mercy extend to more than he ever 7ntesciplated in his softest mood of clemency. I le Lisbon Gazettes cannot be believed in 'attars touching the Constitutionalists, as they are entirely under MIGUEL'S direction. They the to say th a t several regiments have joined " Royalists," but as they give it only as a le h ! ) ° 1 1, we may safely believe that no such thing taken place. The movements of the " R ebels," 44 they are termed, have been to the right bank °I . th e Mondego, which they crossed. The force ; L C MIGUEL is said to be su ffi cient to dr ive e reb e l s b ac k to O por t o ; b u t we shall not be ill " uch surprised to hear the converse of this pro - T r ition by the defeat and retreat of the Grand 'ny to Lisbon. MIGUEL has issued a pro alliation, denouncing the " rebel Junta of the et Y of Oporto ;"but, unless he can defeat the 41tra Y which supports the said Junta, his decrees ar e of no avail. By Monday we have no doubt pe a's will be receiv e d from Oporto of an authentic acter, which must set the public mind at rest It ar to the actual state of affairs. The greatest Al 1 . 40 1 prevailed at Lisbon for the safety of Eng residents, and those Portuguese who are Oltn to be Constitutionalists.

LISBON, JUNE 11. tiflVe learn from our letters, that the Royalist Guerillas ti i teira Alla have entered Vizeu, after a brisk fire on both )iti t : The division of the van - guard remains in its po -11141; and it is probable that it will soon commence ope- SC i tis, the corps commanded by General the Viscount de ti v ,(4o da Pesqueira having been reinforced with infantry, q,,rY, and artillery. A supplement to the Gazette of At e 15 t> in the o ffi cial part, announces appointments and fsllZions in tke army ; and in the non-o ffi cial part, th e -mg LISBON, JUNE 10. 1%!,/Y letters worthy of credit, of a very recent date, we C, 11 ; that our van-guard occupied Leira Crespos, G . uias 4 4. 0 '4 ' dos Avos, and the position of Machados, having a th e -ti t g division in Pombal, which extended its posts to ter, r ;' 4 ducha.

It seems that All the GeneralS have 'forcea Suitt cient, not only to oblige the rebels not to venture tt) any great dis tance from the city of :Oporto, hut also to attack them when a fit opporfnnif - j , offers. Innumerable soldiers hare hastened te enlist in conformity with the aecieei of the 24 instant, not only in the capital, but in Aleiiteio ail Algarve. It is sufficient to saY thit alb WI regiment of foot, in the fortress of Elias, has received about '7OO vo lunteers. tit patriotic expressions of love and loyalty to our Prince, which is every where seen on thii occasion, though nothing surprising among the Partiigirese, 'ivho are always ready to arm in defence of their leiiliihate monarchs, and the liberty of their eniintry, appears on this occasion to manifest itself in a manner without a parallel in our brilfie.nt armies. Even egotism and avarice, ashamed at the sight of the patriotic enthusiasm displayed by all classes in the nation, seem disposed to throw off the indolent apathy in which they commonly vegetate. Lishow, JUNE 12. We learn by recent accounts that the rebels have with drawn their forces to tile other side of the Mondego ; and, according to appearances, they will have to retreat to Oporto, seeing that they cannot seduce any more troops, and that those which they have seduced are beginning to be sensible how they have been misled. It was on the 2d of June that the Royalist Guerillas drove the rebels front Vizeu, and 150 men of the 23d Re giment of . Foot, and some militia of Teudella, retreating towards Coimbra, were completely beaten, and lost 50 men. It appears that the remainder of the troops that evacuated Vizeu embraced the cause of honour, in spite of the opposi tion of their Commander. It is also affirmed that the lEith Regiment of Foot, and the 11 th Cacadores, have joined the General of Tras-os- Montes. JUNE 14. OFFICIAL-DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. I having been informed that the Desembargadors of Oporto, Alex. Thomaz de Moraes Sarmento, Joze Joaquim Gerando de Sampayo, Manore Antonio Vellez Caldeira Castello-branco, and Joaquim Jose de Queiros, make part of the rebel Junta of the same city of Oporto, which, being formed by the influence of a few revolted military officers, had seduced the soldiers under their command, is a repro duction of the provisional tevolutionary Junta, which, in the same city and in the same manner, formed itself in the year 1820, and which gave the impulse to the unhappy re volution which plunged the nation into innumerable mis fortunes from that year to 1823, in which year I resolved to leave Lisbon for Villa Franca da Restauracao, and put myself at the head of the army, and overthrow that revo lution, which threatened Portugal with entire ruin ; when at my voice the Portuguese people and soldiers, whose character always has been fidelity, have come from all parts of the kingdom, and as I cannot allow to remain in the Royal service, men who like those Desembargadors have committed the great crime of rebellion, and have thus made themselves guilty of high treason in the first degree, and deserving the most severe and exemplary punishment, I am pleased to discharge the said Desembargadors from the Royal service, till the competent tribunals shall impose on them the punishment due to their crimes. Palace of Ajuda, 10th June, 1828. (With the Rubric of the Infante Regent.) It was invidiously objected to the Orations of DEMOSTHENES that they smelt of the lamp, but no one will deny that the articles in the Morning Post, smell of oil (we mean Macas sar), and that they can be very easily traced to a certain highly talented and scented Nobleman, with whom the care of his ringlets rivals his anxiety for the welfare of the nation. We are this morning favoured with a continuation of some jokes against Mr. HusxissoN, in which the violation of epistolary confidence is shamelessly applauded, and a great man who could not be so bitterly hated, if he were so insignificant, is talked of with a flippancy that would be almost censurable in making comments on the Noble Lord himself. No doubt the concluding prayer for Mr. HusictssoN's retirement to Eartham is dic tate,' by genuine sincerity; but perhaps the Ultras already begin to suspect that neither Mr. HUSKISSON nor his friends have the slightest intention of withdrawing from public life. They seem not to be in the least alarmed at coming into competition with any of the blank sheets of paper, forming the Mi nisterial Album. The French Papers contain no news from the seat of war. In fact our Express yesterday an ticipated the only news they contain. Government have received Despatches from Sir FREDERICK LAMB down to the 14th, but their contents have not transpired. A Writ for a Member to serve in the present Parliament, for Sutherland, in the room of Lord F. LEVESON GOWER, who has accepted the office of Secretary for Ireland, was issued from the Crown-Office yesterday. Among the great advantages of a liberal and an enlightened Ministry in this country, it is not the least that our system of taxation, which is in many respects faulty, would be reviewed from time to time, and such alterations made as might at once give ease to the people and im prove the revenue. In the last arduous war it was necessary to raise mone; by whatever means ; and heavy taxes were accordingly resorted to as the easiest process for that purpose. Experience proves that in many cases the taxes were raised too high ; and that a larger revenue might have been got from a smaller duty. The last Minis ters were deeply impressed with the necessity of reducing some of our heavier taxes; they were resolved to try the experiment of lower duties ; and it was on this account that we a d thou g ht t h e i r ta l en t s , exper i ence , an d know ledge so Naluable to the public service. We had nexample of their just and considerate views in the discussi on which lately took place respecting the duties on sugar. It is well known that this article is subject to a duty of 275. per cwt. which is about equal to its market-price. The trade in s ugar is, besides, subjected to various re strictions, embarrassing to all concerned, and injurious to the consumer. The object of these is to secure to the sugar planters in the British islands the monopoly of the home market for the consumption of their sugars—the East India sugar is accordingly subjected to a higher duty by 10s. than West India sugar ; a higher duty is also paid on foreign sugars ; and the importa tion of refin e d sugar is reserved for the home manufacturer by a heavy duty. An arrange ment was in contemplation by the late Ministers oh this subject, by which the duty was to be re duced to 205., in the expectation that the smaller duty would yield an equal revenue—the restric tions on the importation of sugar were to be les sened ; whereby the consumer would have had a • • cheaper article ; the revenue Would not have been injured; and trade would have been extended: There is no doubt, that the consumption of sugar, owing to the heavy tax imposed on it, has not kept pace with our increasing popula tion ; although, no doubt, the low price; the article haVing beerl . talling for Oioer4 years past, and being at little more than Btl§. pet cWL, ' has in some degree counterbalanced the effects of the penny duty in diminishing consumption. The last rise which took place on the sugar duty was in 18061 when it seas raised td !lbs. per cwt. ; and practically to 275. In 1807 the net produce of the duty was 3,029,48. The price in that year was Os, 35a. arid 341. itie prodded of this dtity had since greatly increased, owing partly to the low price of sugar. In 1826 it amounted to 4,518,688/., the price of sugar, independent of the duty, being then 325. In 1793 the sum of 1,4'73,139/. was drawn from a duty on sugar of 15s, per cwt, Now, the question is, if this low duty had been allowed to remain, what would have been its present amount ; what loss do we suppose would the Treasury have suffered if this low duty had never been raised ? We can only reason on this subject by analogy. There are some articles on which the duties have not been raised since the year 1793, and yet the same duties have produced a great increase of revenue. Thus the duty on candles was, in 1793, ld. per dip., and it yielded in that year 213,9661. In 1826 the same duty of Id. per dip in candles yielded 481,0371., which is double its amount in 1793, besides one-fourth part more. Now, if we suppose that the duty of 15s• on sugar would have increased in the same ratio, and there is no reason to doubt it, its pro duce in 1826 would have been 3,311,779/., which is nearly equal to the amount of the duty of 275. per cwt. with the exception of two or three years, when it yielded more than four millions per annum. How strongly, then, does experience favour the policy of moderate duties. There are various other articles on which we are Convinced that lower duties would yield in a few years the same, or even a higher revenue. The revenue arising from auctions fell off greatly in consequence of the heavy duty. In 1809 the net produce of this duty was 336,022/. In 1815 it was 260,449/. ; in 1816, 234,729/. ; in 1821, 196,3021. Its produce increased afterwards, and in 1825 it amounted to 311,3421., which was still short of its produce in 1809. To these examples we might add that of newspapers, on which we are convinced that a reduction of duty might be made without any loss of revenue. The net produce of the newspaper stamp duties, which is 4d. on every sheet, with a deduction of 20 per cent., is about 360,0001. per annum. Now, if half this duty were remitted, the news papers would reduce their price ; and they could afford to do so ; and the increased circulation of these much run after periodicals would more than compensate for any reduction of duty. By lessening the duty one-half we only compromise revenue to the amount of 180,0001. If we were to suppose the circulation of newspapers to be doubled by the reduction of price, the revenue would gain, for there would be a great increase in the consumption of paper ; and in the duties of course yielded by that article. The duty arising from the paper consumed by newspapers cannot be much less than 50,000/. per annum. If, by a reduction of duty, the circulation of newspapers were to increase two-thirds, we would have on this account an increase in the paper duty of 32,0001. per annum ; and the half of the duty, namely, 2d. on newspapers, supposing their consumption to increase two thirds, would be 300,0001., which added to the increased produce of the paper duty, would be 332,0001., above 21,0001. less than the produce of the present grinding duties. It would soon however increase, and the low duty would be found in the long run to produce the greatest revenue. We merely throw out these observa tions from a brief consideration of these few articles ; but were our whole system of taxation revised, great improvements might be made, which would ease the people while it would oc casion no loss to the treasury. The reduction of the duties on wine and coffee afford still more convincing, because practical, illustrations of the same principle. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWRLFIC 0' CLOCK, We have had several arrivals this morning, the one which is the mo s t important is by his Majesty's steam boat the Meteor, in five days from Lisbon, with a Mail, but the information she brings has not as yet generally transpired; it is reported that the accounts are unfavourable, and that the Constitu tionalists have been obliged to retreat at the approach of the Royalists. Government are said to have re ceived important despatches by the above vessel from Liverpool. They write of the 19th that two packets from New York are off Holyhead, the papers have not as yet arrived. The letters received by the Leeward Island Mail this morning are Rot of impor tance; a report prevailed at St. Thomas's on the 17th May, that Spain had sold Porto Rico to the French. The Consol Market appears rather heavy this morning, and Consols, which left off yesterday at 888 I, opened at 881, at present they may be quoted at 881 i; Portuguese Stock has fallen 1 per cent.; in other Foreign Securities little or nothing doing.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. At the sitting of the Court this morning, the Mar quis of Westmeath requested his Lordship would be good enough to permit him, for a few minutes, to re late a circumstance of singular oppression, which had been committed on him by a gentleman at the bar, relating to proceedings in the Court of Chan cery in Ireland. His LORDSHIP said he should certainly M6si re spectfully recommend to the Marquis to mention it to him in his private room. The Marquis of Westmeath cordially concurred in this, and thanking his Lordship for his kindness withdrew. IN-RE QUEEN'S COLLEGE. This case, it will be recollected, was argued some time ago, upon a question, whether, according to the liberal construction of die Statutes given by the Founder of the College, the President had or k had not a voice in the elections of the College. His LORDSHIP, this morning, stated it as his clear opinion, that the voice of the President was neces sary in all elections of this nature, and directed the costs of the petition to be paid out of the funds of the College. COURT OP XING'S BgNCII. THE KING, AT THE I.IIOSECUTION OF HENRY WINCHESTER, ESQ. V. THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. The arguments in this case were resumed, this morning, and are likely to occupy the Court during the entire day. One Counsel was heard for the prosecution and defence, as is usual in special cases. PREROGATIVE COURT. In the goods of a person of the name of James Taylor, deceased, who after having made his will, became desirous, shortly before his death, to make certain alterations on it. Dr. LUSUINGTON stated, that a codicil was pre pared by a man of business, and brought to the de ceased on a Sunday immediately preceding the day of his death, and the instrument having been read over to him, the deceased approved of it, but on account of bodily infirmity delayed the execution of it till the following morning. Unfortunately, how ever, he died in the course of the night, and the codicil was never signed. Sir J. NicHoLL said, that as it was evidently the intention of the deceased to execute the codicil, (which he only postponed on account of bodily frailty), and as the parties interested offered no op position, he had no difficulty in allowing probate to go out in common form.

The following was Mr. Fawcett's address on the occasion : " LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—The last night of the season having arrived, it is impossible to take leave of you without returning thanks for your uniform kindness during the progress of it. On the let of October next we shall resume our labour—if that be called labour which your suavity makes so pleasing an employment. Our vacation will be passed in your service, and we trust to be rewarded with your approbation. " The Performers, Ladies and Gentlemen, cordially join with the Proprietors in their gratitude ; and if the feeble voice of one who has been thirty-seven years in your service, can give any weight to their offerings, I humbly beg to add my respectful thanks to theirs, and to wish you health, happiness, and prosperity, till I have the houour of meet ing you here again."

FIRE IN RED LION-STREET.—The verdict on the Inquest held yesterday, on the bodies of those who had perished in this fire was, " That the deceased, THOMAS TINGLE the elder, ANN his wife, THOMAS, jun., EMMA, CAROLINE, JAMES, and FRANCIS TINGLE, came to their death by a fire which broke out in the shop and destroyed the house of Mr. HARBISON ; but by what means does not appear."—[We shall give further particu lars on Monday.l I , indita biiigEtt 4 - gititftgt titE REPEAL OF THE CORPORATION ANti TEST ACTS. sembled the King'a Arms Inn, in this town', to celebrate Yesterday, h ;, t ab e ou L t ii'll6rpOo°nil►ojisterrcesurp.Y of Yt da respectable tn en an. the important tient of the repeal of those etclusite tutes, the Test and torioration Acts: At a quarter before six o'clock the company sat down tiff dinner in the great Assembly Room, did Rev. WILLIAM Stataitrnt in the Chair, supported on his right the Rev. Mr. Whitehead, of Ainsworth, near Bolton, and on his left by Robert Haskell, Esq. The Rev. Mr. Grundy, and Thomas Bolton, Esq. officiated as Vice Presidents. observed at the table persona of almost every reli giots After the clotri was withdrawn, " Non nobis Domine" was sung by several gentlemen of the company. The Cnatamar7.—Gentlernen, before we proceed any further, it is necessary for me to explain to you bow it is that I creamy the honourable station in which I ant this day placed: Most of you are aware that it is customary on these occasions for the gentleman who preaches the annual sermon, also to preside at the dinner. The former duty has this day devolved upon iffy Worthy friend near toe, Mr. Whitehead; but Gentlemen, as In,' friend is not animated by the spirit of the Duke of Wellington, rtidi at: he will not, like that Noble Duke, venture to occupy a pont for for which he feels, nay; he confesses, that he is, I will not say incompetent,—(Cheers and laughter), but for which h; oat pr , r ^ared : I say, Gentlemen, as my friend de this day, and entreats Me supply clines to take the churl his place, I will endeavour to main' as good a substitute as I can. And, Gentlemen, let me announce to you thus early, that, in imitation of that Noble Duke to whom I have just alluded, in my capacity of chairman, I shall be " prompt" and " decisive ;"--(Applause and laughter.)— and that if any thing should occur in the course of this evening to disturb the cordiality in which we are all as sembled, (which I, however, by no means anticipate,) I will hear no explanations,—(Laughter)—but will insist that there is no mistake—there can be no mistake-rand there s h a ll b e n o m i s t a k e !_(lloars of laughter.) The Com mittee appointed to conduct the proceedings on this ecca slim have borrowed, what I think is a very excellent regu lation, from the Cheshire Whig Clob, !sanely, that there shall be no huzzaing or hallooing after the toasts. Gen tlemen, in all British convivial assemblies the first toast is, very properly, the Xing ; the Chief Magistrate. My worthy friend John Horne Tooke Used to say " I love the King according to law : and if he be kind to mei I love him even beyond the }Mir." So I say, Gentlemen I love the King according to law, acid I lote him even beyond the law; for, notwithstanding the fraternal soficitations of the Duke of Cumberland, and the friendly epistle Of fire Rev. Edward Irving,—(Laughter,)—his Majesty has beet: hind Ito me, for he has put his Royal hand to the Bill for repeal ing the obnoxious Test and Corporation Acts;—(Cheers.) I —and for this kindness I love his Majesty " even beyond the law."—(Applause.)--Gentlemen, I give you— " Health, long life, and a happy and prosperous reign to his Majesty George the Fourth." Song—" God save the King," the company heartily joining in the chorus. The CHAIRMAN neit gave,—" The Duke of Clarence and the rest of the Royal Family." The CHAIRMAN again rose.--s Messrs. Vice-Presidents and Gentlemen, the time is now come whets it becomes my duty to direct your attention to the joyful occasion which has swelled the ordinary meeting of the Presbyterian Ministers to this numerous, this respectable, and, I am proud to say, as to the composition of its members, this miscellaneous assemblage of gentlemen, whom I have now the honour to address.—(Applause.)--I call it a joyful occasion, when the spirit of those laws, the repeal of which we are now celebrating, was, that no one was entitled to fathom the depths of a barrel of beer, unless he could also fathom the depths of the thirty-nine articles !--(Applause and laughter)—that he was unworthy to fill an office in any petty Corporation in the kingdom—and that, while he bore his full share of all the burdens of the State, he was utterly unworthy to participate in its emoluments and distinctions. But the stigma is now removed ; and the Protestant Dis senter may mingle with society, in the full assurance that in the eye of the law he stands on a perfect equality with the member of the Established Church.--(Mr. S. here ad verted to the spirit in which the opposition to the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts had been met, both by the Ministers of the Crown and the Bench of Bishops,whose moderation he warmly eulogized. He then proceeded.)..-- - But, Gentlemen, the Test and Corporation Acts are noW dead and buried, and John Lord Eldon officiated as chief mourner.—(Cheers and laughter, which were increased by some one calling out towards the eonelusiOn " one cheer more.")—l shall not, however, proceed to preach their funeral sermon, for that is a very awkward sort of duty for gentlemen of my profusion to perfortti, when they have nothing-good to say of the defunct.—(Applause.)—l once had a volume of sermons that were preached by a clergy man upon the death of the wicked persons in his parish ; and indeed, gentlemen, the volunie *as a bulky one too.— (Laughter.)--I shall not, however, imitate that patent:, by preaching on the death of these wicked Acts.—[Mr. S. here went at some length into the history of the origin of the Test and Corporation Acts, and the several ineffectual attempts made to procure their modification and repeal, first by King William, and, subsequently, on the motion of Mr. Beaufoy, in 1789, when the majority against the motion was only 20, while in the following year, 1790, the com manding eloquence of Burke, and the terror just then struck into the minds of the aristocracy of this country by the French revolution, increased the majority to 180 Mr. S. then proceeded.] This majority so astounded the Dissenters, that they remained quiet for twenty-seven 0) p argu ment wliarli.hneHansodufd,s ag arrsoi a :C i sed n owh s na t e_ai r us smlheoLta t tu h naelu a rd t go ofhi N ln V toac e trt) C h. ahoi meeting l could , d senud h bbj a e v con e tf years, and when, at length, we began to rouse ourselves, silent.—(Cheers. ) e d w r. nothing us c d h as o s e r a s c n . D to is rhe nt u in n g fo A r i tu in n i a s te ters i re ceived for answer that our grievances were more ima ginary than real, or we should have complained of them sooner : I replied to him in these words, that if God spared me life and health, be should never make the same complaint again.—(Applause.) [Mr. S. then proceeded to eulogize, in very warm terms, the conduct of J. Smith, Esq., M.P. for Midhurst, who was mainly instrumental in rousing the Dissenting public to a sense of the importance of this question, and in organizing the opposition which terminated so successfully.} That opposition (continued Mr. S.), as I have before stated, was conducted in a spirit of perfect fairness and moderation by all the Ministers and Peers, with the single exception of John Lord Eldon, who exer cised all his wicked ingenuity upon it. But, Gentlemen, there must be great allowance made for this venerable statesman ; be had not then, nor has he yet, recovered from the shock of the tumble down from political power which he experienced. Besides this, he saw that his suc cessor was a man in the prime of life, and in the full vi gour of his intellect; that he was possessed of such happy pliability of political principle, that, like a glove, he could accommodate himself to any Ministry—(applause and laughter)--and, therefore, that having once got on the woolsack, he was not likely soon to quit it. Gentlemen, I read in the records of our Corporation the account of a man, named John Dixon, being fined bs. in the reign of Charles 11. for profanely swearing, that whoever the devil would be Mayor, he would be Town Clerk—(laughter)— so with Lord Lyndhurst, whoever may be Minister, he seems determined to be Lord Chancellor.—(Laughter.)-.. I understand his Lordship has had the grace to begin his grammar of equity law, and is now got as far as " Easy sentences"—(much laughter)—from which we may rea sonably hope better things from him by-and-bye. Gentle men, I shall say no more of this Lord, as he has been well disciplined by the Bishop of Cheater, but hope that he may live one thousand years, in order to see the falsehood of his prophecies, although I do not wish him to continue all that time upon the woolsack.—(Laughter.)—As to the Declaration, Gentlemen, with which this boon to the Dis senters is accompanied, it reminds me of an old gentleman who, in the plenitude of his liberality, put his hand into his breeches pcxket, and gave a poor man sixpence, but sud denly recollecting himself, he turns upon his heel and calls out, " Halloo, you Sir, give me back a penny !"—(Much laughter. )—The Ministers and the Bishops who supported the repeal did so at no small risk. There was John Lord Eldon to raise the cry of " the Church is in danger," and, therefore, they were obliged to tack this declaration to the Bill by way of a salvo for the tender consciences of his Lordship, and others, who could see nothing but the de struction and downfall of the Church in the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. But, Gentlemen, this decla ration contains nothing that precludes us from enjoying all the rights of British subjects, and exercising all those of English citizens ; it contains nothing to prevent us from resisting tyranny and oppression, even in a clerical magi strate, if such a one is to be found.—(Applause and laughter.)--It contains no restriction of this sort, Gentle men, and therefore I, for one, am very thankful and very grateful for the Bill as it stands.—(Cheers.)—Gentlemen, I am obliged to you for the attention you have bestowed upon me ; but there is one topic to which I am anxious to call your attention, before I conclude, and one respecting which, I doubt not, that the feeling of every one present will respond to my own. Not, as is said in the second book of Lucretius— " Suave marl magno turbantibus cequora ventis, E terra magnum alterius specture laborem." But I know that this meeting, and 1 trust the Dissenters generally, will never be actuates; UpCo unfeeling a prin ciple.—(Loud cheers.)—We have wc:tbered the gale, and ride safely in port, but others of our counin.men are still exposed to the fury of the political tempest. ‘Ye are free : hilt our Roman Catholic brethren still labour under dis abilities more severe than ever we did. Let us, !ben.. snake use of the vantage ground we have obtained, to lei tt hand in extricating them out of their difficulties.— , (Cheers.) --I remember with gratitude the address of Daniel O'Connell and the Catholic Association, to the Irish Members, calling upon them to vote for us ; and let .rue tell TOtti gentlemen, Daniel's voice is not raised in vait, when he speaks to the Irish Members.—(Laughter. )-- They well knot,* the penalty of venturing to disobey his mandates.—(Much laughter.)—Let us then advocate the cause of the Catholics in private companies and at public meetings. Mr. S. concludet: l by proposing, " Lord Holland and Lord JolaP Russell, to whose power ful exertions in Parliament the coun:q is mainly indebted for the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts."—(The toast was drank with an enthusiasm.) " The Marquis of Lansdowne," with a warm panegyric upon hie Lordship's character. Mr.. H. BOOTH addressed the company at cons:derahle length upon this toast, contrasting the character of the Noble Marquis most advantageously with the intoleraoce and folly displayed by the Duke of Newcastle, the Earls of Winchelsea and Mountcashel. 4g Mr. John Smith, Member for Midhurst."—iGreat aPi i% .l i a r u .

FLPTCHER. said he could not refrain from to the extraordinary merit of Mr. of the recently revived exertions b S ea m r it in h g , as bia the te s O ' r7:in n a: Yt " pg in favour of the late repeal.—(Applause.) Mr. F. detailed the ainstakin services o f t h e _Hon. Gentleman, and read some correspondence illustrative of those services in the good cause. " The cause of Civil and Religious LihatP all over the world."—(Great applause.) Mr. Wr.t. RATHBONE said that if he were rigNin the importance he attached to the full enjoyment of ret:Sious liberty in promoting the spirit of true religion, in its Cat sequent effect in producing a right understanding of people's duties in every relation of life, and a courageous acting up to their convictions—how important was it that they should reaeuble their efforts to accomplish that glorious object, in the ern,Lncipation of their Jewish, their Roman Catholic brethren, their rroscribed brethren of every denomination, to wipe off the stain from the statute-book of any religious test being required, or t'lze dignity of truth being called in question, by the confirmatora/ sanction of an oath being deemed necessary; that EnglanJ might, indeed, in this great object, stand first amongst aria nations of the world. —(Great applause.) The Ctraraatan, after adverting to the importance that whomsoever the King might appoint as his lilinisters, the people shottld have a reliance on their public guardians in Parliament, which they could scarcely feel tili some amendment took erree in the constitution of the House of Commons, gave "A full, fair, and free taln'eaentation of the people in Parliament."—(Great applause.)) The Cstainaran then introduced; with a few apple,- priate observations, " Our Catholic brethren, and may rei.eious opinions speedily cease to disqualify them , and all oibe. - a, from the full enjoyment of civil rights."---(Rapturous and . l ong con tinued applause.) Mr. ROSKELL, with great feeling, thanked the company for their kindness, in the name of himself and all his fellow Catholics.---(Loud cheers.) The neat toast was accompanied by a handsome eulogy from the Chair open both the Hon. Members. " The Members for Preston, the Hon. E. G. Stanley, and John Wood, Esq." Mr. Orrivratt WOOD returned thanks. Mr. Joule Hotams then rose, and proposed the health of the worthy Chairman as one who was always at his post in promoting every good cause.—( Enthusiastic cheet s.) The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. In the nest toast prepared by the Committee, the of CrLaraa ni ta m ar on sacoid,utnhceil;,, the form word" Corporation properly ration meaningwasusedinsteLi Mayor, Bailiffs, and Burgesses, of which latter he, the Chairman, was one. He should, therefore, take the liberty of proposing " The Mayor and Common Council of Liverpool ; and may all corporate bodies evince a spirit of liberality, in ac cordance with the decision of the Legislature, by electing into their councils men of character and intelligence, without any exception on the grounds of sact or party. — (Applause.) " The CHAIRMAN', in giving the next toast, observed that he was not one of those fastidious persons who ob jected so strongly to the turmoils of elections. The late Mr. Canning used to speak of the " wholesome agitation of elections," and he would, without further preface, give " Our friends in Manchester; may they speedily enjoy something more substantial than virtual representation."— (Cheers.) Mr. G. W. WOOD thanked the company on behalf of himself and his fellow-townsmen. In their recent peti tion, the inhabitants of Manchester had prayed that the privilege they sought should be accompanied by measures preventive of those turmoils which their worthy Chairman seemed to enjoy—(cheers and laughter)—and which a Right tititi. Gentleman connected with Liverpool seemed to enjoy also; for he had designated the petition " Man chester stuff,"—(laughter)--rand had, the other day, lauded the electioneering practicel of this borough. (Laughter and applause.) He (Mr. Wood) hoped the day would soon arrivewhen all the great towns would be represented ; and he was happy to say, that Mr. Peel had decidedly given his opinion that Manchester ought to possess that unquestionable advantage. (Loud applause.) The Craarataaat said he now saw, for the first time, the reason why the Manchester bill had failed. The petitioners bad urged a system of purity, and they had been as suc cessful in the House of Commons, as they would have been in a house of another description recommending the same thing.--(Laughter.) The next toast was, (in compliment to the conduct pursued by Ministers, after being defeated in their Arst op position to the recent measure,) " The Duke of Wellington and the Right Hon. Robert Peel ; may they, on all occasions, manifest that deference to public opinion which influenced them in the question of the repeal of the Test anti Corporation Acts." " William Smith, Esq., M.P., who has lived to see the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts."—(Applause) " The Bishop of Chester--the scourge of John Lord Eldon, duringthe debate on the Repeal Bill."—(Applause.) The Rev. Mr. GRUNDY called the attention of the meeting to the liberal spirit evinced by some Prelates of the Established Church. He paid a very high eologium to the late Dr. Watson, Bishop of Landaff. And, after allu ding to the liberality of the Bishop of Norwich, he detailed at great length, the very active part which the Bishop of Chester took in promoting the cause of the Dissenters during the late debate on the Test and Corporation Acts. We regret that from the lateness of the hour at which the Ttev. Gentleman addressed the meeting, that we hauttot give even an outline of his speech. " General Gascoyne, and our most hearty thanks to him for his vote on the late occasion." (Applause.) " Mr. Sergeant Heywood, who, forty years ago, so ably advocated, through the press, the rights of Protestant Dis senters." (Applause.) Soon after ten o'clock the Chairman made his acknow ledgments to the company, and bade them " Good night," when the meeting separated highly gratified with the cheer and cheerfulness they had enjoyed. DUEL BETWEEN Ma. LONG WELLES LEY, AND DSA. DE CRESPIGNY.—On Thursday a duel was fought on the sands at Calais, between Mr. Loan: WELLESLLY and Mr. De CRESPIGNY.

The duel was fought on the sands immediately after the arrival of the seconds. Both parties fired to gether on a given signal, at the distance of ten paces ; and neither of them happening to be wounded, the seconds immediately interfered. A question here arose with re spect to the second challenge, as to how far it was, or was not, to be accepted, when Captain BROOKE decided that Mr. LONG WELLESLEY had done as much as he could be required to do. The parties then separated and returned from Calais yesterday morning, to, Dover, wh ere M t &lox, at the York Hotel , w as waiting in great anxiety, the arrival of Jr. WaLLEsr.zy, accompanied by him and Col.

Sir JACOB declared himself not satisfied, but would not again fire at Gaptain GARTH, unless bc, Capt. G., pledged his honour to return the fire. During the discussion of this point, peace-officers appeared on the ground, and prevented farther proceedings. Sir JAroli ASTLEY was attended by Major PRATT, and Capt. GARTA by Lieut.-Cul.
