EDITOR-:—Although you are no great friend to the Holy Mother Chinch, yet, as you seem an honest fellow, I mean to offer you a share in my Newspaper, which is to come out as soon after Emancipation as possible ! In the mean time I send y►►u a specimen of what it is to he, so as to give you a fair sample of what you may expect on the glorious consummation of the wishes of the !tout, THE CROZIER. Papam quis dicere falsum audeat. Published at the Beck.-t's Head, Amen Corner; by permission of the Right Reverend his Excel. lency the Cardinal Legate. PARLIAMENT—The business of the week has been the repeal of those heretical novelties, the Statute of Mortmain;the Bill of Rights, and Act of Settlement. The Test Act is repealed, and a new one is unnecessary, as now we allow o, no Dissen ters on any terms. The Abbots of G!astonbory and Peterborough have taken their seats. The Commons have raised the Peterpence, like the Penny -post, to t►ropence. THE CHURCH—St. Paul's Cathedral is now ready for true believers, having been cleansed with holy water from the Cross to the iron ; an operation hitherto retarded by the low state of the river. EASTER WEEK—The sale of hot-cross buns, and of indulgences for the Greenwich Fair, has been very extensive. It is supposed, that at the close of the holidays, absolutions w►ll be iu equal demand. Persons who require substitutes to perform penances, may hear of unfortunate Authors at Drury-lane Stage-door. ArnatimEs—The Abbot afnd brotherhood of St. Bartholomew's have been able, after an anxious examination of Smithfield, to ascertain the exact spot where the stake was fixed in the reign of Mary of blessed memory. The Holy Well, St. Clement's, near Temple-bar, spouts forth afresh. It is said that there will be a Nunnery established in Shire-lane in consequence. FINe ARTS—His Holiness has altered his in fallible plau of encouraging the Fine Arts in this Country. He seeds no more plaSter casts ; but several valuables, as presents, are on their way, VIZ.--. Three hairs from the brush with which St. Luke painted the Virgin, for the Royal Academy. Some relics of the 11,000 Virgins for the Saloon at Drury-lane, a piece of the skin of &damn's Ase, with a worn-out broom from Loretto for a certain Gentleman, &c. &c. &c. HIGH.Ltrx—A man of tank and fortune at the West-end, having unwittingly hired an hereti cal servant, on coming home suddenly and asking for his Lady, the Heretic said that she was gone to her bed-room with a Gentleman. The en raged husband ran up stairs and burst open the door, when lo ! it was only the Father Con fessor So daring an outrage upon the rights of the Holy Church deserved the severest punish ment, but being his first offence, and promising to be more guarded in future, the husband was dis missed with a short but severe reprimand. LITERATURE.—The dispute between the Book sellers and the University about selling Bibles is happily settled. No Bibles whatever are now to be sold in the vulger tongue. FORGERIES.—SeveraI sacrilegious rascals have been taken up for forging Indulgences, so well executed that the Archbishop declared they were equal to the real ones.—They are reserved for the Auto da K., which only waits the arrival of an artist from Lisbon. New IMPROVEMENTS.—Tbe Penitentiary at Milbank is fitting up for the Holy Impisition.— The present tenants remove to apartments in the Sanctuary now re-established by the Abbot of Westminster, in honour of St. Edward the Con fessor. NATURAL 11 ISTORY.—The Fishmonger's Com pany have petitioned the Legate to request his Holiness to double the continuation of Lent.— The Butchers have sent in a counter-petition, stating that they have suffered great losses from the Clergy turning quarters into legs of mutton ; but that if his Holiness will order their mutton to be changed into fish, they have no objection to Lent being lengthened. ADV ERTISEMENTS .—Persons qualified to sing in the Choir, or on the Stage, in the old Italian manner, with the greatest expedition.—Enquire at the Razor and Fiddle, Paternoster-row. Some stout young Irishmen of family, but no fortune, wanted at the Westminster Mart, to fill up vacancies as Father Contessors. Holy Water, neat as imported from Rome, in quarts and pints.—Consciences repaired, or kept in order by the year.—Souls saved hum Purga tory.—Dispensaiions and Indulgences as good as new.—Enquire at the Manufactory, Creed-lane. LONG LIVE THE POPE, THE DEVIL, AND THE PRETENDER ! ! ! Sic transit Gloria Your's. POETRY, TO A PRIMROSE. Of coming Spring . , thou lovely pledge, That humbly rear'st thy tender form Half shelter'd by the leafless hedge, Half naked to the chilling storm; I joy to see thee, lovely flower; To see thy simple innocence Abide the rugged winter's power, And paint his growing impotence. When the keen March wind chills my blood, Whilst on me falls the frozen hail— Or when cold rain augments the flood, Or driving sleet or snow assail, My heart amid such storms depress'd Is cheered by one slight glance at thee; Hope gleaming in my troubled breast Suspends awhile its misery. Thou then dost look like Hope In tears, But when no angry tempests lower, In thy chaste bosom joy appears, • And then I bless thee, lovely Hower ! When Spring shall lavish all around Her odours sweet and colours bright, The gayest flower that decks the ground, To rue shall yield far less delight ! S. M. REGIsIER OF FASHION. The Right T-Ton. Charles Long entertained yesterday the Marquess Camden and a latge party of distinguished person ages, at his seat, Bromley Hill, Kent. The Earl and Countess of Derby gave an elegant entertain ment yesterday at their house in Grosvenor-square. Lady Louisa Manners gives a grand hall and supper on Thursday evening, at her residence in Pall Mall. The Earl of Fife left town !yesterday for the Pavilion, Brighton, on a visit to the Prince Regent. Lord John Russell is arrived from Ampthill Park in Atling tun-st reet. The Marquess Camden is returned to town from his seat, 13ayham Abbey, Sussex. • The Marquess and Marchioness of Lansdown are expected in town to-morrow, from their seat, Bowood Park, Wilts. The Earl and Countess of Harrowby,bare left. town, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Liverpool, at their seat Cot/0)e House, Kingston. THE THEATRES. DRURV-LANE.-.AS the former prices were re• stored last night at this Theatre, an illiberal op- position Was expected, hut the audience were too indulgent to manifest any displeasure on that ground, though the new Comedy of Honour did tint pass Off so favourably altogether as on the previous representation. COVENT-GARDEN —The new operatic piece en.- titled The Heart of Mid Lothian, lost nothing of its attraction last night, nor was there any abate ment of applause, so that, with a few more re.- trenehments, it will probably be very profitable to the Theatre. Miss KELLY was to make her first appearance last night at Pinburgh, in the part of Peggy, in The Country Girl. Mr. JONES, the Dublin Manager, who seems to have a peculiar genius for dissensions with his Performers, is involved in a new squabble by the dismission of Miss BYRNE for having performed at a Concert. The audience, on Friday last, tore up the benches and considerably injured the Theatre in their demands for her restoration. COOKE THE ACTOR.—A physician seeing COOKE shout to drink a glass of brandy, said, " Don't drink 'hat filthy stuff; brandy is the worst ene my you have." " I know that," replied COOKE, " hut you know the Scriptures command us to love our enemies; so here goes !" SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT TATT. 'ERSALL's, APRIL 19.

MERCANTILII SUCCESS.—The late HARVEY CHRISTIAN COOMBE, Esq. left a widow and ten children, four sons and six daughters. To Mrs. Cowing be left 30001. a-year for her life, issuing out of his landed estate, to revert on her decease to his. eldest son ; to the other sons, 20,0001. each ; and to the six daughters, 10,0001. each.— Such is the effect of industry and prudence in this happy land of freedom and security. ST. PATRICK'S CHARITY SCHOOLS.—Yesterday evening the Anniversary of this institution was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, his Royal Highness the Duke of Susstsx iti the Chair, supported on the right by the Doke de San Carlos, and on the lett by Tremlestown, the Archbishop of Jetusa lem, General Sir John Doyle, Rev.

FlEl3.—This morning, about two o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the public-house, sign of the Ship and Punch Bowl, opposite Uniou stairs, Wapping, which in a short time consumed the interior. On the arrival of engines, and a supply of water being at hand, the flames were got tinder without further damage—no lives lost. MELANCHOLY EFFECT OF SUDDEN Passtort.---- Yeszerday afternoon, two boys were tossing up at the back of the White Horse public-house, Petti coat-lane ; after some dispute they quarrelled, one affirming he had won, the other he had not ; a man who was present and saw the whole trans actiou, interfered, and declared the winner : the boy who had oat, in a violent rage, stabbed the man with a knife in the body in three places, and also the boy who had won shared'a similar fate. The wounded man was taken to a Surgeon's in Bi shopsgate-street, who has declared him out of danger; the boy was taken home to his mother. The young assassin has escaped for the present. EXTRAORDINARY ImposTost.—Last week, upon the arrival of the Guildford coach at Tooting, some of the passengers observed a man ap parently hanging from the bough of a tore on the road-side ; they hastened to the spot, and found the nom breathing ; his feet torch ed the ground ; they supposed that he had just tied himself up, and lotended to commit suicide, He was shun able to speak, and stated that he was driven by extreme distress to desperation, and had resolved to.. put an end to his misery; his statement excited . the compassion of some of the passengteii, 'and :tie was relieved ; the parish officers ,visited him at a public-house, and promised to give him more permanent assistance. On the following day he was taken before the Bench of Magistrates, which sat at Wandsworth, that he might be removed to his parish, when he was recognized by a number of officers as a notorious vagabond and impostor, who, about twelve months ago, obtained money by a simi lar trick at 'Fulham, where lie tied himself 'tip ro a door post, and was immediately cut down and relieved ; many other fraudulent tricks he has succestfully played, and obtained a great deal of money by his impositions. He was convicted as a rope and vagabond, and committed to the Sessions.
