What the Opeo!moN biv attempt we cannot venture to conjecture, . u • t if they have common sense, they will for t he present, at least, make common cause with Ministers, or the Country will be involved in vc) alnaon ruin. The Members of OPPOSITION, who bete property beyond a mere qualification, must sec that the RADICAL REFARMERS are ready to seize Il nd to divide it, and therefore their own essential Interests demand co-operation with Government i° defence of the Empire. The most formidable I °.ensces, it- is said, have been held out by the Radicals, who have increased in confidence ever linee certain Noblemen have been present at their Assemblies, and have uttered sentiments in favour o f their cause. If we may depend on report, this Ila Y is not expected to pass over without demo eratical excesses ; but we know that Military and Vi til Powers will be stationed near to check th e first movements of seditious outrage.— lt l e, however, from the proceeding in Parliament ! hi S day that the Empire is to date its security or 43 Nit). If Party is overwhelmed in a sense of co mmon duty to the State, our safety will be se "red, but if divisions should take place, and t h e bitterness of political warfare ensue, the Radicals, that is, the Rebels, will derive con fidence from such hostilities, and nothing con be "Pected but a storm of Democracy, that will duty all the bulwarks of the Constitution under the rubbish of ATHEISM and ANARCHY. We have given from The Kentish Gazette this ila T , an account of a Farewell Dinner in compli 11lent t o Governor FARQUHAR, who is going to re sume that post which he had maintained with Iu much honour to himself and his Country. tll lOl as we respect his public and private Cha racter, and convinced as we are that he is fully "tilled to the compliment thus paid to him, we l l 'ould not have occupied so much space in our by on t h e occas i on , if t h e sent i ments d e li vere d ,j the Speakers, and the Association to which the 44 tting acceded, were not of interest to the Conn ;'Y.

EDITOR—On looking over some News- paper Reliques, I found the following article, which, perhaps, you and your Readers may deem very appropriate on the first day of a new Parlia mentary Session, as it offers proposals that may illustrate our political history, and presents a list of those traditionary techuicals, which may be found highly useful to Young Members. A CONSTANT READER. TO THE PUBLIC, AND TO MEN of TASTE AND READING. THE MOST MAGNIFICENT PRINTING. The enviable encouragement given to works of the most enormous expence, has induced a :set of gentlemen, well known in the METROPOLIS, arid in the BOROUGH, to offer to the public a work that has long been wanted, long panted for, and exceedingly expected by all AMATEURS, CONNOIS SEURS, POLITICIANS, DILLBTANTI VIRTUOSI, and other men of taste and liberality, NAMELY, AN EDITION UP THE PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES, ORNAMBNTED, EMBELLISHED, EXPLAINED, AND IMPROVED, BY A SERIES of PAINTINGS, FROM WHICH ENGRAVINGS IVill be made by the greatest artists this, or any other age has produced, does produce, or can produce. The very imperfect state in which the Parlia mentary debates ate given in periodical works, and where most cotrectly given, the very great difficulty of comprehending the language and phra seology introduced of late years, bot h metaphorical and rhetorical, both figurative and symbolical, are arguments strongly in favour of this work. And independent of its being executed as to PAINT INGS, ENGRAVINGS, and LETTER-PRESS, with a degree of SUPERIORITY which no work bath yet attained ; the PROPRIETORS flatter themselves that in many respects ibis work possesses great claims to NOVELTY, as will appear by the follow ing conditions : CONDITIONS. Each Sessions will consist of FIVE HUNDRED NUMBERS, With TWO ENGRAVINGS to each, at the very low price of 3IX GUINEAS each. 2. As many inconveniences have arisen from the common practice of printing upon PAPER, the whole of this work will be executed upon the finest CAMBRIC ; a few copies at en advanced price will be printed upon oftuzu, the peculiar transparency of which must throw a beautiful light on :he most intricate subjects. 3. This work is to continence with the present Sessions; and the first number will be ready fur delivery on, or before the conclusion of the CEN TURY. 4. The subscription money will not be demand ed before the delivery of cacti number ; and Sub scribers who intend to continue the work, arc de sired to provide in their wit-Ls for the regular payments. All the ARTISTS in GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCK, and IRELAND, are already engaged for this work exclusively, a circumstance of apparent cruelty to the Peorttle . rous Of SHAKESFEARS, NIILTONS, and BIBLES, but which the importance of t h e under taking roust justify. Several painters from CAN• TON, BARBARY, BENGAL, and NEW HOLLAND, have also offered their services. That the public may be assured that the work is in great forwardness, we exhibit a list of sub jects, which are already completed, and may be seen at the PROPRIETOR'S GALLERY, in Palace yard. LIST OF SUBJECTS. A GREAT SPN.AKHH, taking new ground. A moTtozi holding out advantages. The first blush of the business. GENTLHMEN preserving their coolness—N. B. Much afier the manner of Wutawr of DERBY. A COUNTRY GENTLEMAN feeling his weight. Catching the SPEAKER'S eye. An HONOURABLE GENTLUMAN making up his mind. Going orer the old ground. An oLD MEmnua collecting a meaning. Scouting an idea. M EM BE Rs blinking the question. A RIGHT HoN. GENTLEMAN CO)71/11iiiing hint self. The Movna and SECONDEIL splitting their ideas. A COUNTRY GENTLEMAN embracing an argu ment. Coming to the point—badgering, Ike. &c. It remaine to be mentioned that gentlemen de sirous of having their favourite subjects coloured, arc desired to signify ttie same at the time of sub scribing. A Flanders Mail has arrived.—The Brussels Papers are filled with remarks on a trial against the Printer of the Journal (16s Pays Das, at the suit of the Minister of his Catholic Majesty, for inserting an article relative to the banditti in Spain, which contained personal reflection on his Catholic Majesty. The article was common to almost all the Journals, and the Editor inserted it only as a sinister document. lie has been sen tenced to pay a fine of 500 florins, and prohi bited front continuing his publication for a term of three years. Lord GAGE gave a Rural Fete a few days ago at his seat of Firle-place, in Sussex, to all his neigh• bowing tenantry and their families, on account Of the visit of his mother, the Dowager Lady GAON. On their arrival, pork and rabbit pies were dis tributed among them, with a pot of old ale to each adult. Two sheep were afterwards roasted whole, after pal taking of which, dancing and a vatic:ly of rustic sports commenced on the green, and continued until the evening, when the happy assemblage took their departure, highly gratified , with his Lordship's hospitable eutettaiument. EARL FITZWILLIAM. For the following Letter we are indebted to The Leeds Intelligencer of yesterday. ‘Ve hare ventured ourselves to mark one passage conspi cuously, because it shews that the Nobleman to whom it relates did not want exhortation and warning from a quarter eminently entitled to re spect, before he so unfortunately committed him self in the eyes of the Country by ioining a Radi cal Mob. LETTER FROM THE RIGHT HONOURABLE VISCOUNT Do ‘x NE, TO HUGH YARIC4It, ESQ. " SlR,—This morning's poct- brought me the honour of your printed letter, of the sth inst. re questing my name to a Requisition for a Meetirt at Wakefield, on Thursday the IS:h, to consider the propriety of publicly testifying the gratitude of . the West Riding, for the services of the late Lord Lieutenant. " There is no one for whom I entertain a more sincere regard and esteem, than I do for Lord Fitzwilliato, and, consequently, it is with great regret, that I feel I cannot give my assent to the request of your letter, which, under any other cir cumstances, 1 should have been most proud to do. But having myself disapproved of the late County Meeting, AND HAVING IN VAIN USED MY EN DEAVOURS TO DISSUADE LORD FITZ wiLtilAM FROM GIVING HIS SANCTION TO IT, I cannot allow my name to be added to ti ny paper which may, in the most indirect way, carry the appear ance of approving a measure, which, in the out set, I foresaw, was fraught with mischief, and which, in its consequences, has, in my judgment, had a must fatal effect upon the public opinion. " Entertaining these sentiments, I must beg to decline adding my name to your Requisition, which I do with the greatest regret, as I am sure there is no one in the County, who feels a higher respect for Lord FitzAilliam than 1 do. " 1 have the honour to be, " Sir, " Your most obedient Servant, (Signed) " DOWNE. " Nov. 7, 1819." WESTMORLAND LOYAL ADDRESS. TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE REGENT. MAY IT PLEASE YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS—We i , the undersigned Nobility, Magistrates, Gentry, Clergy, and Freeholders of the County of West morland, feel it our peculiar duty at this period to offer your Royal Highness every assurance of Loyalty to the Crown, and attachment to the Constitution of this Kingdom. The Government t -,tablished in our county has been, under Providence, the source of so much happiness and prosperity, that we cannot but re• gard with the deepest abhorrence any attempt to weaken or subvert it. Reflecting with gratitude that we bave been preserved, and that we have been the Ito:rowed instruments of rescuing others from the anarchy sod despotism which so long desolated a large portion of the world, we cannot silently behold the ungrateful and mischievous restlessness of those who would take advantage of the circum stances attendant upon returning peace, to under mine that goodly fabric, which weathered the tempest, and still excites the admiration of sur rounding States. We feel for the Poor, and for others whom the increase of population, and the fluctuations of commerce have involved in difficulties and dis tress ; but we rely on the wisdom and paternal care of the Legislature for the adoption and judi cious application of every practicable remedy. The free expression of opinion, whether through the press or otherwise, is the privilege of a Bri ton ; and far be it Irons us to desire that it should be restrained so long as it keeps within the bounds of religion and good order. But we wish not to forget, that if our advantages be great, so is our responsibility. In this mater we have not only the deepest personal interest, but we are trusted with a sacred deposit to preserve for those whc, come after us. We would guard as a pre cious jewel that liberty which has never shone with purer lustre than in our favoured country : we deprecate the licentiousness which is its counter feit. True freedom is in peril, when blasphemy and tumult are tidying the laws of God and Man; when the necessary decorum of our Courts of Justice is pertinaciously violated ; when opportu nities are eagerly seized, or cunningly contrived, to vilify, in the eyes of the lower classes, all that is respectable in the ranks above, and to undo every sacred tie by which sociei y is holden toge ther. In the crowded meetings to which the un thinking multitude are invited, Reform is the pre. tetice, but Sedition the object : discussion is pro fessed, but .all freedom of speech is put down by groans and clamour : the only thing permitted, is an obsequious listening to the railings and theo ries of some demagogue or his minions : and in genuity chiefly displays itself in trying how much mischief may be done without overstepping the line which separates this new kind of audacity from actual treason. It the Loyal and the Good have been less conspi cuous and obtrusive than those whose conduct we thus deplore, yet they have not been inattentive observers ; and their experience is well calculated to convince them, that the times require a faith ful expression of their principles, and a steady ex ertion of their influence. Thus may they reclaim many who for a while have beet► misled by the ar tifices of the designing ; and we trust there will now, as in the best days of our history, be one p o w e rful union, under the blessing of the Al mighty, round the Altar, the Throne, and the Laws, for the preservation of all that is dear .to Man. A Meeting of the County of Fife was held nt Cupar, on Wednesday, at which an Address wa3 voted to the PRINCE REGENT, on the state of the country. ROBBERY.—Last night the house of CHARLES BICKNELL, Esq. on Putney-heath, was broke open and robbed of plate, linen, money, and other effects to a considerable amount. The thieves left candles burning in several of Cie rooms, after they had plundered them, TO. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Sin—l-lave you read THR POLITICAL HOUSE THAT JACK.

A FRIEND TO MONARCHY AND RELIGION. FOR THE SUN. M. EDITOR—Be so good, Sir, as to put the following Question to some of your Northern Correspondents : " Is KINLOCK, of Kinloch, who spoke so "so bed)," at the " sober " Meeting of the Dundee Radicals, of that unfortunate house, in which, about five-and-twenty years ago, one brother shot another, in a dispute that occurred between them immediately after their father's funeral, concern ing his will, and escaped punishment by the proof of insanity ?"

SCILLY, Nov. 16.—A part of the stern of a vessel has been brought on shot e at St. Mary's, with the name of " Sally, of Wot kington," on it. About a fortnight ago a stoop was seen standing for the islands. A boat went off, when she suddenly disappeared, supposed to have sunk•, end this is most likely a part of her. A man of decent appearance has been picked up at St. Martin's Island, supposed to be the Captain. EXECUTION OF JOHN I3UCHANAN. Wednesday, John Buchanan, flesher, was exe cuted in front of the Court•house, Glasgow. He was found guilty, at the last Assizes there, of the murder of Jcan Duff alias M'Kenzie, in the house of Janet Mills, Bridgegate, on the 13th October. 1818, by beating and bruising her, in consequence. of which she died in a few days. The doors of the Court-hall were opened et half-past one o'cbtk, for rite admission of the public, and it was soon filled. The Magistrates entered at two, when the prisoner was ordered to be brought up ; he appeared immediately, d res sed' in deep mourning, preceded by the Rev. Dr. Wat d law, Mr. Irving, Mr. Barr, &c. Within a few steps of the top of the stair, and previously to his coming in view of the people in court, he stood for a second or two as if deliberat ing how be should act. It was soon fixed, and be leapt or rather skipped up the remain:ler of the stair, as if he was confident of meeting a reprieve. He behaved during the whale set vice, and till lie . was launched into eternity, as he did during his trial, the under lip often between his teeth, and an expression of countenance as if he were confident of establishing his innocence. Mr. Irving gave out the 79th Psalm, in which the whole seemed to join, but none with a more intbfferent air than the prisoner. 'rice reverend Dr. Wardlaw then delivered an admi rable prayer. The effect was striking, and eveit Buchanan lifted hid eyes and seemed to join in the pathetic effusions of this eminent preacher. — The Chief Magistrate then whispered something to Dr. Wardlaw, and he then addressed the au dience, and in a very impressive manner alluded to the melancholy situation of the prisoner, and trusted that, it would have a suitable effect upon all who witnessed it. Mr. Irving then prayed. The court was cleared about three o'clock. and the prisoner ascended the drop in a steady manner. In two minutes he was adjusted fur execution, when Dr. Wardiate, with a most becoming anxiety, again endeavoured to pre vail on him to acknowledge his gild( ; but .. without effect. Buchanan then, adldlress.ng the executioner, said, " Thomas, are you. ready ?" On getting an affirmative answer, he threw with force the handkerchief towards the pillars, and was launched into eternity. His body, after hanging the usual time, wis taken to the College for dissection.—He was in the alloy, and was wounded at Bergen-op-Zoom. He was about 23 years of age. Detachments of the 7th Hussars and Rifle brigade were on duty, and preserved the best order. After Buchanan was thrown over, a consider able hubbub took place among the crowd in the Green, which was very great, occasioned by an abandoned wretch of a woman picking a Gen tleman's pocket of his watch. She was de teCed, when the crowd bowed, and severely shuffled her about, and, had not some Police Offi cers interfered, it is hard to say what might 1 ve been the consequence. She was, after consider lable difficulty, secured in the Police Office. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—VCSIErday evening an inquest was held at the Pine Apple Tavern, in William-street, fit. Margaret's, Westminster, be fore H. GKLL, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Charlotte Parkes, aged tight years, a fine child, belono,ing to Mr. Prokes, plaisterer, of. Broadway, Weitininster. The parents on Friday last were reniovi..g their plods to" the above house, where they had engaged apartments, and Mr. Parkes, during her absence for s abOut ten minutes, left the deceased and some other children of the fa intly in the room. The fire vas horning, and the deceased, with her hi other, about eleven years of age, were playing before it, and in an atimpt to iinhate n sweep, she got.on qie.grate to elinilo up, when her clothes caught fire, which being in stantly consumed, she was carried to the hospi tal, nearly b,irned to a cinder, *ftere she died the muruing after. Verdict—Acc4dpika Death.
