P ,A COVENT •GARDEN. Is,t 10 o'elr Ac - this morning the parishioners of this parish a' arerribled in the aisle of the parish church for ti ast tpurpose of electing a vestry clerk, and other pie itt:Atial officers. Mr. Dow liiras called to the chair. Mr. Row the late (Select) Vestry Clerk, was put in non irration by Mr. Field, and Mr. Corder was proposed ' key Mr. Walk er as the repre-sentative of the opposite 'party. Mr. SAYA/3R then proceed,Jd to address the meetin fr at serygreat length s 'and commented upon the ' the P 1 ,wlli ga t e expen di ture of the parish money by cr". elect 'Vestry. H e '4 'the pa r i s h book, instanced several items Which charged for clothing Purchased for th e p aw pers, a price 40 per cent. abov-e•. the fair tray' ping p r i ce at which such art ic/es could be r archased.

He "included by exhorting the parishioners to come troctward and vote for Mr. Corder, whom he had proposed, a order to do away with a system so op i'Pressive. - as the present, by which the parish was 'forced 'To defray such an exorbitant expenditure s that to which he had alluded. Mr- CORDER also addressed the meeting at some leggy and contributed his share of the expose, in ~' - *v.cular allusion t o th e R ose wa t er repast . ',Afr. CRIBB, one of the select, admitted that al. perhaps they had paid an exorbitant price, et the money expended had been laid out among the parishioners themselves. So much for the ge neral charge of extravagant expenditure. With respect to the particular charge of the dinner, he was willing to admit that the charges for that were such as ought not to be borne by the parishioners, and he should propose that each person present at it should contribute his quota towards the expence. This produced some very pertinent remarks from +e anti-select, and roars of laughter from all, in 's4sich Mr. Cribb seemed heartily to join. A show of hands was then called for, audit being in favour of Mr. Roach, a poll was demanded, which was proceeding when we left the meeting. POLICE kNTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. Maria Torr was charged by her husband, who is a R eaow-founder, residing at the sign of the Castle, Castle s"tr"t, Holborn, with being excessively drunk, and annoy 'ng him and his children. The prisoner had been separated from him for some years; he allowed her 7s. a week, which 4,1 been regularly paid, but she was, when drunk, continually annoying him, and he hoped the Magistrate would effectually put a stop to it, fur the lives of himself and children were in danger. The prisoner in her defence said, her husband had turned her out of doors, and sold the furniture ; that he received 30 1. a year from a freehold estate of his in Warwickskire, "4 other sums, and that she ought to be allowed more t hul a paltry 7s. a week. The husband positively denied all this, and the prisoner was discharged upon promising not to annoy her husband ; "4 speared very thankful to get off. Upon being taken awa7, she requested the Magistrate to make her husband ~n cte partial to her. This the ALnva7.l.o:, with a laugh, at the novelty of t h , application, expressed his inability to do. The ALDERMAN said he intended to sit to-morrow anti T hilirsday, at II o'clock, and at one o'clock, on Friday. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY ) 'WESTERN CIRCUIT.-TAUNTON, APRIL 7. Joieph Organ and John Belcher were indicted for stealing a mare at Priddy fair, the 21st August last. t , Robert Colborn examined by Mr. PAIN—I am a °Aacksmith, and was at Priddy fair on the 21st of August, 1827, to sell aliorse ; I changed it away tor a mare with the prisoner Joseph Organ ; both "ere there; the other prisoner was servant to Organ; Organ told me he was his servant; he was exttside the door when the exchange was made.-- Organ directed Belcher to put the tackling off my 'horse on the mare which I was to have in exchange. We then went in to have some beer together; the horse I was to have was a little brown mare, 13 hinds high ; while we were drinking I saw several Persons go in and out to Organ; I got up to go out, when Organ, and another man I do not know, got hold of me by the coat, and held me down ; in %bout a quarter of an hour I got out, and found both the mare and my horse gone ; Belcher was gone 4 , 60 . I immediately gave information to Organ, and he said perhaps they had gone down the fair for f un. I saw the mare four days after at Bristol; I had the two prisoners then in custody ; this was on market-day at Bristol ; it is the same mare that I b ought t at the fair; I gave 2/. 2s. 6d. to boot in ex change for the mare. Cross-examined by Mr. EARLE—Organ went out w ith me to look for the mare; we could not find it, a nd returned and had some more beer. I cannot swear I did not set drinking with him two hours. I offered to Organ to set him at liberty if he would !en me where the mare was, but he did not do it. I do not know Mr. Vines. Re-examined—lt might be two hours I was drinking altogether, but not after the exchange. John Pickering examined by Mr. PAIN—I live about a mile and half from Bristol ; I know the mare in question ; saw it on the 22d August last ; telcher brought it to me to put out to grass ; he sa id it belonged to a man at Sodbury ; the horse was fetched away the next day by two officers. James Huggins examined.--I am a constable; I remember seeing the prisoners on the 23d August / aft- Myself and another constable who is now dead took them into custody; we took them to the ma- Eiktrate's clerk. Before we got there I asked Belcher if he knew any thing about a little brown 'pare that was brought from Priddy, he said that he had brought a mare from Priddy fair at night, and had put it into Pickering's field for a person w hom he was t o see at Stapleton on that d a y ; Organ was at this time in custody. I went to Pickering's and found the mare. We all went to OAR magistrates; Colborn described the marks in the mare, and the prisoners were afterwards com mitted. Cross-examined by Mr. ROGERS.—Belcher told tke where the mare was, and for whom he took it to Pickering's field. , Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE was of opinion that, 't did not appear, from the evidence adduced, to him that Belcher was aware that the horse had been ° hanged, or that Organ had any thing to do with t he taking of the mar© away, or that the possession the mare was in the prosecutor. The Jury being of a different opinion to his Lord- It, the prosecutor was again called, and he depo- Zd that the mare h a d hi s tackling put on her, and he y d tied her up to the booth, where she was left. rh o EARLE for the defence, called Wm.

At/len/germ THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. " Eccc itertun Crispinus."-_Mr. Kean, jun. re appeared here last night as Frederick in " Lover's Vows ;" but we question whether the latter part of the line " et est mihi axpe vocandus" will be a. applicable to this young gentleman as the former. Last night however he was received with more applause than usual ;:one reason for which perhaps was the circumstance that scarce a single individual could hear a m'ord he said—many could not even see him. The after-piece, the characteristic attraction of the evening, entitled the " Dumb Savoyard .and his Monkey," was very successful, and reflects credit on the rnelo-dramatic pen of Mr. Barrymore, its manufacturer. The plot is after the usual fa shion in such cases —strange— •incongruous—and an intelligible. Its chief agents are a monkey, and a band of robbers, the latter of whom capture a coun tess, who is journeying tewards a salt mine with a par don for her husband, accompanied by a dumb boy—a visitation which we should not have regretted seeing entailed on more performers than one in the piece. One recommendation of this piece is its brevity. The incidents throng on each other with quick and dazzling rapidity, so that it is very light and agreeable.— The scenery of the Rhine, however, and of the dif ferent effects of light and shade on its varied banks—of the gathering twilight—the night gloom—and the subsequent rising of the moon, de serve far higher praise; these landscapes are con ceived arid executed with all the boldness and free dom of genius; and on these must the Dumb Sa voyard depend for its attraction. The house was crowded, and the audience, with one or two gro tesque exceptions, more select and orderly than usual. COVENT-GARDEN. Mr. Charles Kemble's sighs as Romeo, and Miss Jarman's tears as Juliet, were witnessed here last night by an audience remarkably impassive and anti amorous. This is as it should he—Easter is the season of conviviality, when honest, well-disposed ladies and gentlemen take poison of a very different description to that imhibed by the " gentle Juliet and her love-sick Lord." Accordingly the new melo drame of" Tuckitomba" (remarkable for its graceful euphony), or the " Obi Sorceress," neatly hit the prejudices and whims of the audience, and was re ceived with proportionate applause. The plot is full of enchantment and mystery, and has reference to some circumstances (to wit, the abduction by the captain of a pirate ship of the child of a planter) which toek place some fifty or sixty years since in Jamaica. Mr. 0. Smith was the pirate hero of the evening, and was as sublime and pompous as such a hero should be. Some of his attitudes were remarkably impressive.-- But the scenery, as is usual in these holiday melo drames, was the principal feature of the piece. There was, first, a ship at anchor; secondly, an enchanted cave; thirdly, rocks, "and all that" by moonlight ; and lastly, a tremendous conflagration and blowing up of a pirate ship. There was nothing either in the acting or the decorations to call forth particular comment. Mr. Keely (standing four feet sonic odd inches in his shoes) was lively under the appropriate name of Goliali ; and Mrs. Vining, who has so often delighted the audience by her represen tation of Prince Cherry and Peter Wilkins, made a very respectable Enchantress. COBURG. A new splendid melo-drama, entitled the "Boyne Water," cleverly adapted by Mr. H. M. Milner, from Banirn's well-known tale on the same subject, was produced last night at this theatre. It is a very showy and imposing spectacle, full of pomp and in cident, with some of the finest scenery we have ever seen. The principal characters (the plot, from the noise that prevailed in the house, we cannot ven ture upon giving) were performed by Messrs. Cobham, Lewis, Gale, Sloman, and Mortimer. A Mr. Hield, too, made his first appearance on the occasion ; and was ably seconded by Miss Har greaves, from Covent-garden, who, as Oonah of the Broken Heart, gave great and deserved satis faction. We were pleased to find our favourites, Mrs. Davidge and Miss Merit (a promising and versatile young actress), at their posts, supporting the new melo-drama by their exertions. The " Forty Thieves" concluded the evening's amuse ment. The house has been throughout retouched, and a chandelier from Carlton House added to its internal decorations. ASTLEY'S. This favourite little theatre, the delight of school boys, was opened last night with a new panoramic picture, entitled, " The Death of the Race Horse; or the North Steamer." The connection between these 'wo titles is somewhat puzzling, nor were we relieved in the way of explanation throughout the evening. It is still, like Stonehenge, a puzzling mys tery. One thing,however,was very intelligible about it, namely, a stag hunt,with a real stag,real dogs, and real bona fide sportsmen, the major part of whom were probably just fresh from their rehearsal at Epping. But the most satisfactory performance was a review of horse and foot, before his most gracious Majesty George Ilrth, who was represented by a corpulent gentleman with as much dignity as the importance of the occasion demanded. The loyalty of the gal leries throughout this review was remarkable ; and when his Majesty ascended a car on horseback, several of them insisted on taking their hats off. The house was crowded in every part. SURREY. - -- We have left our se l ves little space to speak of the new Easter entertainments at this theatre; we may however state, in general terms, that they were all highly and deservedly successful. GRAND BALL AT GUILIMALL.—The Ball for the benefit of the London Schools, given at Guildhall last night, was of the most brilliant character. The num ber present did not fall short of 1200. The arrangements were made under the superintendance of Mr. Alderman Wool) and a Committee appointed for that purpose, and were admirably adapted to give pleasure and comfort to the numerous assemblage. The floor of the great Mall was chalked to a superb pattern, and the walls hung with:crimson drapery. At the up,per end of the Hall, under a brilliant Crown, was constructed an elevated platfonn, carpeted and furnished with sofas for the Duke of Sussex and the illus trious guests of the Loan MAYOR. The chartered Gas Company very handsomely gave the light—the Corpora tion voted 50/. towards the expence--Wmerzwr led the band of twenty performers. The LORD MAYOR and Sheriffs left the room about twelve. Among the guests, in addition to his Lordship and the Sheriffs, we noticed his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussax, Alderman WOOD, Alderman HEYGATE, Alderman Sir P. LAURIE, Mr. ,!iumE, M.P., Sir GEORGE SMART, Mr. ROTHsCHILD, Jan., and his lady, &c. &c. PATES will exhihit a peculiarly novel enter tainment at the Adelphi Theatre on Monday next.

The veteran POPE has retired from the stage upon an annuity of 80/, a year, received from that excel lent establishment for decayed actors, the Covent-garden Theatrical Fund. The elder GRIMALDI is likewise re posing upon 130/. a year, derived from the GARRIcK Fund at Drury-lane. The Caledonian Full and Fancy Dress Ball will take place at WILLIS'S Rooms, on Friday, May 2, for the Bsnefit of the Scottish Corporation and Hospital. The list of the Ladies Patronesses will be announced shortly. The Corporation of Drogheda assembled on Monday, and voted a congratulatory Address, and th e Freedom of the Corporation, in a Gold Box, to the Mo s t Noble the Marquis of ANGLESEY, on his appointment to the Vice-Royalty of Ireland. It was then resolved that the Mayor, Recorder, Sheriffs, &c. be requested to present the Address at such time and in such manner as his Excel. lency would please to receive it. --Dublin Evening Post.

RY THE AVTROR OF THE LORD MAYOR ' S VOYAGE TO OXFORD. Yesterday was the day appointed for this cele brated Hunt, which was expected to be more than usually splendid, in consequence of a report circu lated throughout the country that the Lord Mayor and the High Court of Aldermen would make their appearance at cover on horseback. Accordingly, as the hour of one approached, the anxiety of the numerous spectators to get a peep at his Lordship was truly intense and gratifying. Not a carriage—. scarcely even a waggon—could arrive, but it was mistaken for that of the illustrious City Magistrate, and outriders every now and then came galloping to wards the forest, with information that his Lordship was on the road, arid might momentarily be expected. Precisely as the clock struck two, a carriage and four drove towards the spot where the stag was to be turned out, not rapidly or at full gallop, but with that slow and majestic pace which indicates real greatness. The coachman's countenance looked reserved and thoughtful, and he had evidently an acute sense of the important and exalted station he held in the eyes of the multitude. It is but fit to add, that he was dressed in a flaxen wig, new top boots, and bright yellow inexpressibles. J us t at this moment an electrical shout ran through the crowd of " THE LORD MAYOR IS COKING," and presently the whole assembled multitude took off their hats, and flung them up into the air, actuated, no doubt, by that peculiar and sensitive veneration in spired by the presence of greatness. It was, indeed, an awful moment. Six Aldermen's ladies went into hys terics on the spot,and a promising young pawnbroker, remarkable for his good-nature and obesity, was so awe struck that he fell off his horse, and received a severe kick in the short-ribs from the left leg of the lively animal. It is with regret, I add, that all these flattering testirsionials on the part of the multitude, were superfluous, the carriage though drawn by four horses, did not contain his Lordship nor even his suite, but simply Mr. and Mrs. Alderman Fatsides, who having just returned from a short tour through Palestine and Asia Minor, were anxious to take this opportunity of seeing the lions of their own country. At about half-past two o'clock, the rain which had fallen all the morning suddenly ceased, and a fine stag (of the feminine gender) was forthwith turned off towards the forest. At least two hun dred young apprentices dressed in the reddest scar let they could procure, followed at full chase, ac companied by adozen hackney-coaches, two waggons, and a donkey chaise. The hounds, however, (most of whom were of the true terrier breed) refused to move an inch; so that the chase lay chiefly be tween the sportsmen and the stag; the last of whom was very soon distanced by an uncommonly expedi tious coal-waggon. After a run of more than half an hour, the spirited animal was taken ; and a dashing Common-council-man instantly rode up to claim the brush; but was much disappointed on finding that there was none. By five o'clock the sports •f the day had termi nated, and at least twelve hundred Londoners re turned to town ; few however without either a broken head, a fractured ankle, or soiled and dilapidated garments. Many were carried severely wound ed to the Rumford Head public-house ; some spent the night in the very ditch into which they were first plunged, lnd not a few—but perhaps the occurrences of the day will be better explained in the following stanzas which I have penned as a sort of Epithalamium, on the occasion. If they have not the majestic gravity, they have at least the truth and simplicity of Homer : SONG. Tune—" Oh, what a town, what a wonderM metropolis !" Oh, what a sight for the city, what a jolly day For dandy young apprentices who sport the blunt ; Guildhall, like Eton, rejoicing in her holiday, Has scamper'd off to Epping for the Easter Hunt ; Hush'd is the voice of the London Institution, Sir, St. Paul's stands appall'd, in affecting destitntion, Sir, The Poultry looks disconsolate, like some deserted nursery, For all its Geese have gone to keep their sylvan anniversary. Shop-boys from Fleet-street, and Vestrymen fkomCripplegate, Are posting off to cover in their one-horse shay ; But Mr. Sheriff Leatherhead, in vaulting o'er a triple gate, Has met with board and lodging in a ditch half way ; Loud roars the mob, as his Honour's Rozinante, oh, Ghost-like comes gliding past with flank and haunch so scanty, oh, In vain the Sheriff spurr'd away, he knew not how to clamber well, So down he fell, and in his fall remember'd pleasant Cam berwell*. But, hark ! to the shouts and the tally-hos uproarious ! The sportsmen have assembled all, the roads are lined ; Off bounds the stag, over hedge and ditch victorious, And off bound the Aldermen, like Sylphs, behind ; Swift as some dream the motley group approaches now, Gigs, carts, and tilburies, and frisky hackney-coaches, now, A dozen truant hats and wigs precede the gay procession, Sir, And hunt in couples through the air—a sight beyond ex pression, Sir. But, oh! for human happiness ! 'tie fugitive and idle too, And changeable as summer clouds that o'er the welkin scud ; Full forty Common Councilmen, in spite of whip and bridle too, Like steamers in a Dutch canal, have anchor - d in the mud; Five fathoms in a horse-pond lies the fractur'd flower of Aldgate, Sir, Whiteehnpei's pride has broke his neck ; woe ! woe ! for Norton Falgate, Sir, Pale Shoreditch weeps her losses o'er an inquest at the " Ruraford Head," And Melancholy Russell-square refuseth to he comforted.

JEWELL was the early friend if FOOTE anti GEOEGE COLMAN, the elder, for both of whom, during their lives, lie superintended with great jprobity aid correctness the pecuniary affairs of the Haymarket Theatre. He was likewise Treasurer of the King's Theatre, from the proprietorship of Sir \ JouN GALLINI, through its various changes, until he retired from public life about fifteen years ago. Having acquired a competancy by the honest discharge of his responsible duties, he took the house where he died. We believe he has left one daughter to lament his losr. RETZSCH'S SHAKSPEARE. The first series of RetzsA t s " Outlines to Shak speare" has at length been submitted to the judg ment of the English public. It embraces the tra gedy of Hamlet, than which, the romantic and pic turesque graver of the celebrated German artist could scarcely have found a more fertile subject, or one more replete with intense interest. It has been of ten asserted, and we believe with truth, that the beauties of Shakspeare's plays, the sublime and pa thetic, as well as the humorous and playful, are not less fervently felt and justly appreciated in Germany than in England,—that, in fact, the numerous trans lations of the works, and the able commentaries on the text of our immortal bard, which have appeared in that country, have had the effect of rendering the Germans as familiar with his writings as they are with those of their indigenous poets. No won der then, that Retzsch should have selected such a field for the exertion of his talents ; and, having chosen it, that he should have infused so much ge nuine feeling into his graphic illustrations. 'We as sume it as an indisputable fact, that in wild and chivalric composition,—that is, the delineation of the circumstances and feelings of romantic fiction, in which the marvellous bears a part, —Retzsch's equal is not to be found. In the introduction to the present work, Mr. Fleischer, the German publisher, (Messrs. Treuttel and Wurtz are the English publishers) says—"ln Retzsch as a sketcher, we possess such a master as England honours in her unrivalled Flaxman. Both stand on the highest degree of this department of art, equally unsurpassed." There appears at first sight much truth in this observation; but we are afraid we can not adopt it to the full extent of the writer's mean ing. We think that Retzsch has never reached the sublimity of Flaxman in pure epic composition, nor his intensity and simplicity in the portraiture of the workings of unrestrained nature. But Flaxman is no more ! and Retzsch must now be allowed to stand without a rival for original conception and knowledge in the details of composition. The work before us is in our estimation equal to the illustra tions of Faust, which first introduced Retzsch to the notice of the British public. In variety and energy of action, the scenes in the Hamlet are superior to those of the Faust; but there are in the latter some beautiful examples of repose and tender pathos, which are here wanting, and which in deed, the artist had little opportunity to intro duce. Theplates are 17 in number. Fifteen com prise the most interesting points of the play; they are preceded by an apotheosis of Shakspeare, where two elegant females, floating in the air, representing Tragedy and Comedy, are crowning the bard with a wreath of stars. From this we pass to an introduc tion or prologue emblematic of the ground-work of the drama--the murder of Hamlet's father. The regular illustrations now commence. The two scenes which follow, representing the struggle of Hamlet to follow the Ghost, and the proposition of the oath, have certainly never been exceeded for beauty of line, and justness of expression, by any for mer work of this artist. The last in particular is full of the most intense feeling. The point represented is when Hamlet says—" Rest, rest perturbed spirit." The outline breathes the anxiety of the Prince in the execution of his father's behest. The pencil could barely;pourtray with more truth the effect of listening, and the spectator must acknowledge the power of the artist in rendering an internal nervous struggle so visi ble to ocular apprehension. The soliloquy, " To be or not to be," we do not like. The figure is fine, but it wants solidity. It is too trifling, and seems rather placid. Hamlet looks like a man who fancies him self speaking with a grace. The interruption of Hamlet's conference with his mother in the cham ber, by the appearance of the Ghost, howerer, is another striking and ably-delineated scene. The artist is here so happy in the expression of surprise and reverence, that he more than compensates for his failure in the preceding instance in that of thought. The mad scene is likewise an admirable specimen of Retzsch's power in pourtraying the workings of natural feelings. The sympathy of the different personages is here indicated in the most perfect manner; but the expression of Ophelia's face is perhaps a little too lachrymose, and wants some thing:more of that wildness which appertains to insa nity. Having just received the copy before us, we cannot enter into further details, and must, for the present, dismiss these illustrations, which, we re peat, nobly maintain► the artist's already very high character. On comparing them with the Faust plates, they will be found to possess more finish and suavity of execution, and to savour more of care and thought in regard to composition. We must, how ever, admit that in some cases, as much is lost in spirit and forcible appeal to the feelings, as is gained in polish and ornament; but this, it may be said, is unfortunately the destiny of works of art. The work is dedicated to his Majesty George IV. The test of the passages referred to is in English, German, and French ; the German is from Schle gel's translation, the French from Guizot's : some critical notices, on the different scenes, are written by Bottiger. We understand that a very splendid copy of the work, printed in gold, most richly bound, and pre served in an elegant inlaid box, ha: been presented to his Majesty. The execution of this extraordi nary copy is said to have cost 1.501. His MAJESTY received the sacrament on Sunday in the private chapel of the Royal Lodge, which was administered by the Bishop of CHICHESTER, the Clerk to the KING'S closet, after the performance of divine service. The KING visited Windsor Castle on Satur day, and went through the state and private apartments. The Princess AUGUSTA left her residence, in the King's Palace, St. James's, yesterday morning, for the seat of the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, at Bushy Park, where her Royal Highness, ;t is expected, will re main about a week on a visit to her Royal relatives. The Right Hon. W. LAMB, Lord W. PAGET, the Hon. Captain GRAVES, and Mr. BIRCH, arrived from England, yesterday morning.—Dublin Evening Post. ESCAPE FROM APPLEBY GAOL.--We lately gave a hasty account of the escape of WALES and HORYBY from Appleby Gaol, and the securing of DENT, who was also an actor in the plot. Their object, it ap pears, was to seize the keys and lock Mr. THWAITES, the governor, into the day-room. In the struggle, Mr. THWAITES saw their aim, he therefore thrust his arm between the door and the frame, when HORNBY fiercely dashed to the door and crushed his arm severely. At this moment Mr. TOWERS came up and seized DENT (the other two were then retreating) to whom he clung till fur ther assistance came, notwithstanding that he received many heavy blows from DENT'. herculean arm ; but fixing his gripe in the felon's neck, and twisting his handkerchief, he thus weakened the physical power of his opponent. After crossing the Eden at Bongate, the fugitives made directly for Kendal, whither, however, they were preceded by a messenger from Appleby with an account of their escape. An alarm was soon given. In the midst of it, the runaways called at WALES'S mother, but did not tarry there. In a short time, HoaNEv was apprehended at a small public-house at Sandside, Milnthorpe, by a party who went in pursuit; but WALES again escaped, and is yet at large. On the following Wednesday, HORNBT, in company with JANE CHORLET, who stands charged on the Coroner's Inquest with the wilful murder of her female bastard child, was again removed from Kendal to Appleby, and lodged in his o d quarters. His reception by DINT was a rough one. The latter accused him of leaving his friend in the lurch, called him coward, traitor, villain, thief, and a fight in irons would have ensued, had not the officers of the prison interfered. A report is afloat that Wat.Es was drowned in attempting to cross Lancaster Sands; but it is probably a story got up to mislead.— Extract of a letter from Appleby, dated March 27 The two prisoners, HORNET and JANE CHORLET, ar rived here yesterday. On HORNBY entering the gaol, his old comrade, DENT, saluted him with a desperate blow on the cheek. A short time after HORNBY and WALES had escaped, DENT confessed the plan, and showed a stocking with a atone in the foot, intended to give the gaoler a quietus. This plan they bad borrowed from HAGOART, whe in 1820 murdered the Dumfries gaoler in a similar manner; they had also two gaga ready, one for SoLoatox CALRADICZ, and the other for Mr. Tzmairtsbssmaisil all was prepared to effect their diabolical purpose.--Car t . q /e Patriot.

One of the persons charged as a princip a l i n the conspiracy to murder the unfortunate MARA, was cap.. tured on Saturday night between Freshford and Tulle roane, in this county, and sent off to Clonmel.

Such are some of the miseries of the murderer even before an avenging P roy i i k ace de. sican's blood for blood.—Lsiotster Journal, .

By the official return of the Quarter's Reve nue, together with the annual accounts which usually accompany the quarterly statement, it is gratifying to see that the result indicates a sen sible improvement ; but as the Ministerial jour nals have had the modesty not to claim the whole of that improvement to the measures of their patrons, we shall leave its amount to be observed, and its merits estimated, by the coun try, without any note or comment from our selves. An evening Ministerial contemporary of Saturday was even self-denying on the point, for in communicating some " general informa tion," (which, by the way, was so " general to include no particulars), it laid claim to less than a half df the actual increase which the pub lished table now indicates. This depressed esti mate probably proceeded more from the want of knowledge than the want of zeal ; but in mat ters of mere figures, which must be verified or contradicted in twenty-four hours, it would pro bably be better not to prophesy, " without see mg the vision." In our City article it is men tioned, that though there be an increase in tho Revenue, without any corresponding increase in the re ri incomeui reco Expenditure tfo of the country, the advance& should made tes e uap( ilr b outsl y na r abrd t tte l ie ) nrfi e agria ß )sit ; eut T sg l oai k grratel o ci(ai n trtve,elo t rr i fit l t. e eiislnaea g ins : ta : r t :P ychaco i ot n c g re: 5i amountsp m FTt ze d niozrs e td 01: secbd; o t, oe n er(alit.ottlenoao the idrdv,idei I,teh reward ly for the discovery of the lost sur plus,recollect that we had a Sinking our Commissioners for managing debt to the amount of more than year, though the surplus may not It is painful, it is even dreadful to contemplate the fever into which the minds of partisans are inflamed on every question which involves an extension of indulgence, civil or religious, to any fallow-subject who did not before enjoy it. trona the petition of the English tanners in the last century, who deprecated the dangerous and un - constitutional innovation of suffering Irishrnen to tan the hides of their own oxen in their own pits, lest it should encroach upon the sacred mo nopoly of the worshipful corporation in this fowl , try, to the foul cry of Dr. Philpotts and his brethren, that if an Irish Catholic be permitted to represent the Christians of his own persuasion in Parliament, he will inevitably subvert the Protestant Church of Great Britain, scarcely a year has gone past us without evincing the same expedient of shallow and silly selfishness in sonic one body of monopolists or another, employ ing as watch-words for their own sordid pur poses the most animating, generous, and even holy names. With regar d t o th e periodi cal bellowing of " No Popery," its instiga tors arc of a different class from their fol lowers, and stand on a far more criminal footing, In itself that war-cry is only more terrible, as well as more hateful, than the cry of the silk, or woollen, or linen manufacturers against foreign webs, and than that of the landlords against fo reign corn, in so far as the numbers who fancy themselves affected by the whoop of the " Church being in danger" are more numerous, and as the pretences for raising that haanied yell are a thousand times more hypocritical and sinful. But in principle they all bear this stroeg feature of resemblance—that it is in each case a mere trick of mercantile rapacity, a combination of sellers against consumers : the silkman en gages our sympathy for his poor weavers, whets his single object is to have tne power of fixing at once the wages of the journeyman and the price of the article at his own pleasure ; the landlord warns us against making England de pend for bread on fogtiviers, when his real ap prehension is that shelihall cease to depend on hint ; while the tribe of Philpotts and Co. carry the joke a little further, and insist that the cure of Protestant souls involves in it by right di vine the guardianship of Catholic privileges, rights, and purses. What the Reverend Cham pion of the Orange monopoly in Church anti State proposes for the people of the United Kingdom by heating the blood of sects against each other, we know not : for themselves, wc fear there are many such crusaders, who calcu late nothing but the number of degrees to a bishopric, and the time that it may take to cover the intermediate space with pamphlets.— That, however, though at best a laborious game, is one likewise open to no inconsiderable hazard. A dignitary of the church, albeit he speaks on politics egv eathedril, may now and then expose himself to an unceremonious reply. For in stance, a little pamphlet has been put into our hands, purporting to come, and actually pro ceeding, from " A Clergyman of the Church of England," entitled " An Answer to two Letters addressed" by Dr. Philpotts to Mr. Canning,— those letters memorable for the period at which they appeared, and, we blush to say, for the fierce and vindictive temper of personal animo sity which they indicated in the learned author,. We have read the reply, and if Dr. Philpotts takes the trouble of doing sa, we trust that he will profit by it, and have done with faction wearing the mask of fanaticism. On every point in dispute which forms the subject of the little. work we refer to—and there is no point that we can recollect evaded or omitted—the " Clergyman" is trium phant over the very Rev. Dean. The fallacy of any danger from emancipation,—the non-fuihl mentThids of faith with heretics,—the . coronation oath,—the sincerity and sound policy of Mr. Canning,—are all handled with a force and skill to which we cannot do justice by a brief quota tion. It is enough to affirm, that in the species wisdoni,—n or of the charity of war-cry now about, we supp t o h s e e , .t t o em b p e e r r esu; i 7l ll , there is none of the strength which belongs to conscious justice,—lwne of befits impartial which he who violat.es, let him call himself Pro or Bishop,. e i s t en i . s ?

Far be it from us to censure—we deeply reverence the honest and aposto li c e ff orts of clergymen to en lighten the dark spirit of ignorance and supersti tion, and enlarge by pure doctrine the limits of the church, as well as to enforce by h o l y li v i ng the example of virtuous ministers. But a re spect for times and seasons, and consequences, is among the lawful duties of a teacher solicitous to do effectual good. Ireland has b een ru i ne d by indiscreet instruments in the hand s o f corrupt advisers ; the whole face of s oc i ety i s trou bl e d, —the mind even of infancy is inflamed and dis torted, by the perverse ends to which, in many instances, the means granted for education have hcen employed by Protestants; and out the other
