Tu the Bight Honourable the LORDS SPIRITUAL and TEMPURAL, in PARLIAMENT assembled. THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGSED IN• HABITANTS OF ----"', StirWETll, That your Petitioners observe with increased astonishment and alarm, the continued and persevering efforts of the Roman Catholics to obtain admission to all offices of trust and au thority, and to the exercise of legislative functions. That it is with unfeigned satisfaction they see their felloW subjects of the Romish Church freed from all pains and pe nalties on account of their religion, and in the full enjo.y ruent of the blessings of Toleration ; hut your Petitioners feel it to be their bounden duty, not only to themselves but to posterity, to resist their endeavours (notwithstanding the numerous concessions already made to them) to get posses sion of political power and legislative authority, and thereby to destroy that Protestant A.cendancy, to which the people of this Country are indebted, under I'rovidence, for tte establishment of their Liberties on a firm and solid basis; fur they consider it as a fixed and unalterable principle of our gloi ions Constitution, as settled at the Revolution, that the Legislative and Executive Authorities of this Protestant Country can be administered only by PROTESTANTS. That your Petitioners regard the law by which that prin. erple is established as no less sacred and inviolable than 111.1oNA CHARTA and limicAs ConPos ; and they implore your Lordships steadfastly to reject all applications for the repeal of those laws.

The Pdris Papers of Sunday last, which were due this morning, have not arrived. (From the New York Evening Post of Feb. 9.) NORFOLK, JAN. 27.—A Bermuda Paper of Dec. 26, received at the Reading-room, states, that " Captain TROTT, of the schooner Delight, arrived at St. George's, from Kingston, Jamaica, reports, that on the 3d inst., when passing through the Islands, he was boarded by a boat from a small privateer schooner, out of New York, but under the colours of ARTIGAS, having a Spanish brig, as prize, in company, which she had cap tured when bound to Malaga from Havannah, with a cargo, supposed to be worth 50,000 dol lars. On the 18th, in the latitude of Bermuda, Captain TROTT fell in with the schooner Hiram, of New York, having no person on board ; went on board Of her, and kept possession 24 hours ; she had a cargo of salt. On the evening of the same day he fell in with a brig, water-logged, havigg her main-mast and stump of fore-mast standing." We hardly need remind our Readers that this Paper has often taken a very active interest in the honour of the legal Profession, particularly as re- Jative to the regular Altornies, in order to clear it from all irregular Practitioners. The subject was taken up by many able Members of the Pro fession, whose valuable contn►unications were pre sented to the Public through the medium of THE SUN, and thvreby considerably increased its cir culation among the legal Community throughout the British Dominions. The subject is highly interesting, of course, to the legal Profession, but it is still of much greater import►►nce to the People at large. It is well known that there are a considerable body of men styled CERTIFICATED CONVEYANCERS, many of whom, for a small sum, have obtained a licence to act in many re spects as Attornies, without baying been re gularly trained, under proper articles, and by actual service, during the requisite term, for the Profession. Many of these Certificated Conveyanc nett other callings, such as Auctioned, . ith the business of an Attorney. ►b'e leave Readers to reflect on the danger of entrusti; their property into such hands ; for by Comracts, &c. &c. unskilfully drawn, Al.iny persons may be reduced to beggary, to say nothing of the Miseries ti►at tits: y may incur by an ignorant defence in Actions or lndicttnents for Libels, &c. &c. It is with much pleasure we find that the regular Mem bers of the Profession, not merely from motives of interest, but from a just sense of what is due to the Community at large, have resolutely adopted the measures suggested by our Correspondents, and have determined to- support those measures by an appeal to the Legislature, in order that, by some substantial enactment, the honour of the Profession, and the security of the Public, may be effectually maintained. For this purpose a Meet ing was held yesterday, consisting of many of the most respectable Members of the Profession, and therefore, in order to give our Readers a com prehensive idea of what took place, we have taken from two Morning Papers of this day, an account of the Proceedings, and we most heartily wish that they may actively persevere on a question of so much importance to, the People at large in all matters relative to the defence of Character as well as Property, both of which may be brought into imminent hazard and absolute ruin by officious ignorance, and venal audacity. CORN-EXQUANGE, MARCH 10.—We have not had any fresh arrivals since Monday, yet the Wheat trade continues very heavy, and only that of fine quality, of our own growth, could be dis posed of, but for which Monday's prices were ob tained. Fine English Barley was scarce to-day, and fully supports its price, but the inferior de scriptions were dull sale at a reduction of is. per quarter. Oats are also Is. cheaper, the supply being large. In Pease, Beans, and other articles, there is no alteration. FOREIGN TIMBER.—Mere to reason to be lieve that the Norway and Baltic Agents are again applying to Government to lower the duties on the importation of Foreign Timber, and to alter the scale of duty imposed on Foreign Deals. We trust that no alteration will take place in these respects, being couvinred that there is no occasion for it, and that his Majes ty's Ministers will continue the present system, to nrntect and retain the little which is now left of 1 the trade of British North America. CHARITABLR SCHOOLS.—We are very anxious to see the Report of the Commissioners -ap pointed to inquire into the present state of the Charitable Schools and Endowments within the Kingdom. Very beneficial effects have already resulted from Mr. WROTTESLEY'SH original Bill, and we trust will continue to be derived from that which is called Mr.BROUGHAM'S Bill. The applications to the Court of Chancery are now frequent, and must relieve the labour of these Commissioners very much ; and the prompt attention shewn by theATTORNEY-GENERAL to all applications to him on subjects of this nature, if any thing were wanting to endear him to society, would do so ; and we have only to regret that another system had not been adopted, to render his power more immediately availing. We mean, in places where funds are wanting to prosecute inquiries, which would have saved the expence of the present Commission, and have en abled Parishes, years ago, to have instituted in quiries into cases of this nature. Sir CHARLES BURRELL is entitled, as was justly observed by Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, to the thanks of the Public, for the candid and impartial manner in which he submitted to the House his Motion respecting the present state of the Bo rough of Penryn. We observe with much satisfaction• Mr. LIAM WILLIAMS'S notice of his Intention to bring in -a Bill to extend the oath of qualification to Elec tors of all descriptions. It is one of those safe and salutary improvements which must be ap proved of by every one; and we congratulate the Country on time tempered spirit and zeal which is shewn by Parliament, to adopt every rational measure to restore the Constitution to its original state and purity. Yesterday, about half-past one o'clock, a Gen tleman arrived at the Foreign Office, Downing street, in a chaise and four, with dispatches from Florence. The Duke of Yor,K held a Levee yesterday, at his Office in the Horse Gwirtis. Mr. GRATTAN gave notice in the House of Connuons last night that he will bring forward the Catholic Question on the 22d of April. he Archduke MAXIMILIAN was yesterday in troduced to the Duke and Duchess at tiL6uGES TER and !he Princess SoPIIIA, at Uloucester-lionse, soon after time o'clock.

A, has been insti tuted, on the presentation of Charles Duncoinhe, Esq. to the Rectory of Kirby Misperton, in this County, vacant by the death of the Rev, John Dcre ThornAs, DJ). FtnE.—Early this morning an alarming fire broke out in the house of Alessrs. Frase and Co. iron-founders, Crawford-passage, Clerkenwell, behind the Workhouse, which raged with great fury, and at (Inc time threatened destruction to the neighbourhood, being surrounded with poor people's dwellings. The premises were entirely destroyed, together with the stock in trade ; se veral dwelling-houses were damaged, occupied by poor inhabitants. On the arrival of engines, and plenty of water being at brad, the further progress of the flames was checked. We understand pro perty to the amonnt of lien's; 30001. was destroy ed. Happily no lives were lost. The property was mostly insured. We did not learn how the fire originated. 'OR TilE SUN. SHIP tIiRWICH, MARCH 9.—The Engle cutter, Lieut. PAGSOS, has taken another prize, with 47 tubs or casks of spirits on board, and three men, which he has sent into this port. MARCH 6.—Arrived the Hope, CLIFTON, from the Spurn Point, with part of the wreck Of the Isabella. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 9.—Sailcd tl►e Janus, Borodino, and London (transports). for Jamaica, with troops. LIVERPOOL, MARCII 7.—The Liverpool packer, from Savannah, which was on shore on Borbo 13,ink, has been got oft and is arrived in the River. The Harpy, Revenue vessel, commanded by Lieutenant Wm. PRICE, took on the 18 . 11 L'Adele, smuggling cutter,with 330 tubs of spirits on board,and sent her into Ilfracombe. Lient.Pa cE, the Commander of the Harpy, is the same gallant Officer that commanded the Archer and Bruizer gun-brigs for so many years during the late war, and was present in almost every Conflict under the dauntless and heroic Commodore Owes, off Boulogne, at the periud of BUONAPARTh'S so much boasted preparations for invasio❑ ; at which time Lieut. PRICE was not more distinguished for his bravery than his prudence, and furbished frequent examples of both in the presence of his approvit , g Commodore, to the gratification as well as edifi cation of an admiring and applauding squadron. No Officer on the list of Lieutenants has been more truly useful to his Country than Lieutenant PRICE, who has held that rank near 20 years ; and is, besides, we understand, the son of the very oldest Master on the list of Masters belonging to the British Navy. THE THEATRE. For the honour of public taste, Drury-Lane Theatre was crowded last night at the represen tation of The First Part of Henry the Fourth.— Much, no doubt, is to be ascribed to the novel attraction of Mr. IkEAN in ihe character of Mtspur, and much to the reputation which Mr. STEMEN KRIVIBLE had justly acquired in the part of Falstaff. Mr. DEAN exerted him self with great spirit, and gave• several pnitit ed touches in, passages that hitherto had passed without sufficient observations. These passages, to adopt the theatrical phrase, " told .well," and the whole performaucc, partaking of his usual animation, received very warm applause.-- 'The merit of Mr. STEPHEN KEMBLE in Falstaff has been long since ratified by public approbation, and it is no unjust tribute to his performance to say, that it is altogether the best that has been seen since the memorable days of LIENDERsoN. He brings to the character good sense, long ex perienee, congenial festivity, and a critical know ledge of-the text.. It is to the credit of audi ence, that as soon as the scene discovered him, he was received with fretpientiy repeated marks ,of general kindness. He entered into the: cha racter with a degree of animation, and sup ported it throughout with . such spirit as well ertitled him to - _this anticipated op. ph i use, and which his subsequent performance very often renewed.. Upon the whole, the re ception of the Hotspur-and the Falstaff was so 'favourable, that though it was intended chat the latter should only appear once, it was deemed tie. tessary.to announce the play for repetition, and we doubt not that it will be.equally successful on every future occasion. IRELAND. Mr. 13AGwELL, the newly returned Member (Or the County of Tippernry, is nephew to Lord Vis count EN NINORE, and cousin to 71Ir lIARa, M I'. for the County of Cork. MI. BAGwi,:t.t. v,icated his seat fur tie Borough of Clonmell at the re quest of the most leading interests of the County, and was elected for the County in a manner that did equal honour to him and to his Constituents. Mr. KELLY, leis brother-in-law, is likely to be re turned for Clournell. RICHARD DIGHY, Esq. the Mayor of Cork, who has so notch, and so properly dktinguished himself, in lefti4ing to call public meetiovs, as well on Catholic Affairs as for the repeal of the Window Tax, is a Gentleman of independent fortune and character, and by marriage nearly ill lied to the Noble Family of '‘ FIERZERT ;" he himself is related to Lord DIGBY, and served tin der hi. late kinsman Admiral DIGEY in the gin lions na l / 4 —Al victory of the i2th of April, 1782, bring then a brother midshipman, arid. in the same ship, with tire Duke 01 CLARENCE.

A remarkably interesting work of Madame de Geniis has been just publitiled by Mr. CoLauRN. It I, entitled Les Parvenus on les „Icon - arcs de Julien Delmours. It may be considered as a sort of national tale, the Author having contrived to exhibit under the mask of a most amusing fic titious history, a complete view of the society and manners in France tor the last 30 years.— Like the ingenious author of Gil Bias, she has de scribed per images of all ranks, amid cm iticised every thing which in manners appeared to her reprehen sible or iidiculons. She has also interwoven in her woik a considerable number of flue traits ; hitherto unknown, which prove that even in the time of termer, when the laws slept, virtue was DES - 1111;C] lON OF 'FifiE DEE MILLS, IN CHESTER, BY FIRE.
