LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT Ql 7 CHANCERY, OCT. IN RE MARSH AND CO., RANERUTTN, ER-PARTS DAVIS. Mr. KNIGHT resumed the arguments in this case,. in support of the petition, and claithed the partici'. lar attention of the Court to .this case, upon the de cision of which very great sums, and very important interests, . depended, and which could not again be bronght before the Court. - The Loup CHANCEMJ6R asked if ti ere were not some circumstances in the other cases which would prevent their being bound by the same decision. Mr. MONTAGU said, that although each case varied from the other in some tminer points, their general features were the -same; and •the decision of that now before the Court must virtually decide all the others: The whole amount of property in question Was upwards of 280,000/: • - The ATTORNEY-GESIMAL opposed the petition on behalf of the co-trustees of Fauntleroy, who had, under an order of the Court, already proved their debt to the amount of I 6,000!. . _ _ Mr. Sergettnt BosANcturr and Mr. HORNS fol lowed, bat the case wai not concluded. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, OCT. 23. CADELI.i THE MATTE/A OF HURST• Mr. HORNH opened the petition. On the 19th of April a commission bf bankruptcy issued against the three bankrupts, Thames Hurst, John Hurst, and Joseph Ogle Robinson. The relation between 'the parties before the - commission issued was : this. For a considerable time the business of booksellers and publishers had, been carried on by John Hurst and Joseph We . Robinson, under the name of Hurst, Robinson, and Co. This continued until Christmas, 1825, at which time it was clear that theie parties were insolvent, and unable to go on. Mr. Thomas Hurst had been a-partner in the house of Longman and Co.; - and though that firm was solvent enough, yet Thos. Hurst individually was insolvent. Mr. T. filirgr, an insolvent' person, withdrew from the firm of Longman and Co. and joined the firm of Hurst, Robinson, and Ca. that firm being alsornsol vent, and John Hurst and J. Ogle Robinson, who composed the firm, being also individually insolvent. Well, then, joint Hurst and Joseph. Ogle Robinson wele insolvent at the time of the commencement of :the new partnership, and, moreover, they knew that they were insolvent. It, would be, contended on the other side, that the terms of the partnership we're these :—That in consideration of a debt due from Hurst, Robinson, and Co., to Thomas Hurst, of 52,0004, and in consideration of two sums of money, one of 10,0001. and the other of 28,0001., advanced by Thomas Hurst to the said firm, 90,000/. worth of stock should be given to the said Thomas Hurst out of the valued stock of Hurst, Robinson, and Co., and - the remainder of that stock was to be di vided among John Hurst and Joseph Robinson. These terms, which were contained in a written in strument not signed, but intended 'at some future time to be executed, would be. contended for by the other side. But he did not impute any such inten tion to the contracting parties. He could not be lieve that these two gentlemen could giv,- this fratkinlent . preference to one creditor, — (and Mr.' 'Thytnaa , Hursiwus - only a Creditor), especially as they had' stated in their depositions that it was the under standing among theme-that the creditors or the old arnr. s4tould be paid their jtist debts bef o re th e asse t s iere transferred to the handbiof strangers. If the gen tlelnen on the other side chow to impute this fraudu lent concert to the contracting parties, they might do so, but he would not. He now came to examine the condition of the parties previous to the partner ship, from whence _the Court would see that no such arrangement as_ that which would be contended for on the other side could be legally entered into.— Long. before this partnership, Thomas Hurst had been:engaged in large and ruinous speculations with the firm of Hurst; Robinson,' and CO. :It appeared in- evidence that they had engaged' together in . spe culations in hops, the purchase of which amounted to 63,6764, and on the resale of which they realized not quite 6,0001.: and that they entered into an other unfortimate speculation for building a new town, to be called the New Town of Leeds. In consequence of the demands which incurred from these speculatiOns, Thomas Hurst was obliged to draw all his capital, amounting to 38,0001., out of the firm of Longman and Co., John Hurst and Joseph Robinson not being able to meet those de mands. In addition to this, the name of Thomas Hurst was upon bills of Hurst, Robinson and Co., to the amount of 100,0001.: an expedient. which was found necessary to bolster'up the credit of Ro binson and Co. Under these circumstances the partnership commenced ; and he put it to the Court whether the parties were in such a situation that John Hurst and Joseph Robinson could . give, and . Thomas Hurst accept, the preferable claim now set up by the creditors of the latter over the just and equitable claims of the creditors of John Hurst and Joseph Robinson upon the assets of the old firm. Mr. SUGDEN opposed the petition. The \TICE-CHANCELLOR said it appeared to him that the: point for his decision lay in a very narrow compass. A partnership was acknowledged, and the partners all admitted that a certain instrument con tained the terms of the partnership. However hard those terms might bear upon some of the creditors, he could not, as a -. Judge, take that into his consider ation. The prior claim must be alloWed, and the pe tition dismissed.--Costs to be paid out of the estate. EX••PARTE THE DANE or SCOTLAND IN THE MATTER OF HURST, TLC VICE-CHANCELLOR also dismissed this peti tion, which involved the same point ; hot his Honour not conceiving a separate petition necessary, dismissed it with costs. THE ST. KATHARINE's DOCK.—=Yester day, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the St. Ka tharine's Dock Company, the ceremony that is to be ob served at the opening of the Dock on Saturday next (to morrow) came under consideration, and the following were the arrangements decided upon. The company having red tickets will Lave the opportunity ,of ranging and inspect ing the Dock, to view the entrance of the shipping, and the.business of the day; but the holders of the blue tickets only can partake of the splendid collation which will be provided. The following are the general orders given as to opening the flood-gates. The tide is expected to - an-. swer about half-past one o'clock, when the water gates will be gradually opened by the band-cranes, and the immense temporary timbers at the pier -head will be hauled up from the grooves by windlasses, thus offering no further inter ruption to the entrance of the Thames. When this is done, the ships will be hauled in under the direction of Captain 'CoartrroN, the Dock Master, and Mr. krcinsox. The first ship which will enter the • bacon will -be the Elizabeth East Indianian, free trader, laden with merchan dise from that country. She will be followed by six others in the same trade, four of which will be also in lading, but the other two will be in ballast only. The yards of the ships will be manned hy.their respective crews, and all parts of the r i gg i ng will be dressed with !lags and streamers of every denomination. The moment the ships pass from the Thames into the first lack, the guns stationed around the docks, and upon the adjacent shores, will fire several rounds upon the occasion, anal the military bands stationed in various parts o f the stupewlo43 w or k w ill str ik e up th e national anthem and Rule Britannia. The Chairman, the Deputy-Chairman, and Board.of Directors, will assemble in the dock-house, with the Architect, Surveyor, Builders, anal other gentlemen connected with the establishment, and proceed roun.t the various departments. After which an elegant co ld collation will he serv e d t o th e c ompany possessing the blue ticket, and tables accommodating nearly 2,000 persons will be laid cut in the different warehouses.-- r The arrangements are under the direction of Mr: lIALL, the Secretary. .51EITMED ALL. This Pacha unites in his person the most un congenial and contradictory qualities and views. A; genius far above the prejudices of his co-re ligionists-La natural gift of perspicacity, pene . - tration, andprudenee, which, in a certain degree, is equivalent to, information and cultivation— cold cruelty—credulity and confidence in in triguers-Lgoing '.to Egypt to acquire riches,-- these are the principal traits that characterize Mehmed Ali. It has been said that he was borii at Martinique, and had been captured on his passage,: together with his younger sister, by the !Barbary Corsairs ; and it has been added, that, having been sold at Constantinople, this young Creole wady' had become favourite Sul tana,‘ and bad, by her powerful intercession, made - her _brother's fortune. All this is, how ever, false. IVlehmed Ali was born, in the year j 769, at Kaval, in Rutnelia. The au dacity: and coolness Which he exhibited On every' mos ion procured him the friendship of the Tsehorbaschi y or Governor a Rumelia.' He served in the expedition which was sent against the French in Egypt. He-landed at Aboukir, and distinguished himself at Ratnainsh, in a battle with General La Grange, After the retreat of the French, Mitred Bey and Elfi Bey came down from Saib and Fayuin. They endeavoured to regain their former authority. • Hence arose long and continued internal dissensions. The English wanted to restore the Mamelukes .on the old footing : they had concluded Treaties of Com merce—assisted the Beys—instigated them to insurrection, and, at the same time, brought about a mutiny at Alexandria. Mehmed de feated them, killed • their Generals, Fraser and Waeop, and compelled them to re-embark ; after which he turned his arms against the Mamelukes, besieged them, and permitted them to remain at Cairo. However, their commotions induced the Pacha to a grand coirp detat a St. Bartholomew. He invited, the Chiefs to a feast,- to celebrate the departure of his daughter to Mecca, and caused them to be treacherously murdered. Since this :bloody tragedy, the Pacha engaged in the foundation and promotion of the prosperity of Egypt. His sons, Tusstm and Ibrahim, had succeeded in conquering the Wechabites in Arabia. Inahe year 1818 he sent his youngest son to Sennaar and Nubia ; but Ismael died on his return. The remainder of Mehmed history is too well known to require a detailed account of its occurrences. WAR, BETWEEN THE RUSSIANS AND TURKS. BY A BRITISH OFFICER. CAMP BEFORE iur.aEvo, ON THE LOWER DA MIRE., 28TH JULY, 1829. I have persevered •thus far in my attempts to visit the Russian army as an amateur, for the purpose of, observing its operations against the Turks. - Hearing that frequent sorties were made by the troops of Kutchuck Achutet from Giur gevoi..l obtained the. sanction. of the Governor of the principalities to come here—have attach ed myself for the present to the corps of the Russian army before the fortress ; and am par taking of the hospitality, and sharing the black bread and inconveniences of the Cossack:and Russian soldier in his bivouac before the enemy. The Danube here runs near W. and E. along the foot of a range of Bulgarian hills-4s wide deep, and rapid, and encloses several islands be tween its boundaries. On its right bank is Rutschuck, a fortress with a large garrison ; and a very little lower down, on the opposite -side, forming a sort of tete de pont, is the small but tolerably strong fortress of Giurgevo. It is an irregular work, built after European principles, presents three or four bastions towards the field, has a citadel, contains a garrison of about 4,000 men, which may be increased at pleasure from Rutschuck, and mounts about 150 pieces of • cannon. To the north, distant about five miles, and nearly parallel with the above-mentioned hills, is another range (or rather the ground presents an inclination to the south), at the foot of which, and immediately opposite to Giurgevo, are three Niuscovite encampments, whence the minarets of the latter place, as well as those of ltutschuck, are seen with the naked eye. The intermediate space is an open plain, with scarcely any undu lation, and covered with small brushwood, Indian corn, long grass, ;Ind high thistles, &c. affording localities for skirmishing to the foragers and out posts of both parties. Thus disposed, the troops may be said to be continually under arms ; the infantry are always in square ; they eat, drink, and sleep in square ; and at night, in the most inclement weather, never quit that form. The General and Field Officers only have tents ; sheds or temporary huts, composed Of branches and hay, "are erected for the other officers and troops, close to' their stations, under which they are allowed to retire in the middle of the day from the burning heat of the sun, which within the last few days has has been 100° and 105° .of Farenheit in the shade ; and it is then only that a portion of the horses are unsaddled; so that in the event of an alarm,-it requires but little time put the whole force in march for its position. There is no scarcity of provisions, though the quality of the bread, " of the darkest hue," is bad ; and the water, which is very indifferent, is supplied from the neighbouring wells. But the Russian soldier is a tough material, and ordinarily calculated to Jbear the fatigues and hardships of war. In the manner above alluded to, subsisting on food of very inferior quality, he is constantly exposed to all weathers, for here the burning heat of the day' is generally succeeded by cold, damp, chilly nights ; and the thunder storms, which at certain seasons are so frequent, are accompanied by torrents of rain, which in stantly deluge the country with water. These to ordinary constitutions would be fatal, but on him they seem to have comparatively no effect. With an implicit obedienee to orders, the Rus sian is, as it were, a complete machine. Care less and thoughtless of danger, indeed, without exercising his reasoning faculties, he moves when he is told, and halts when he is commanded ; nor will he under the severest fire retire, unless ordered to do so. II was surprising to see the perfect indiffe - rence with which a regiment, the order day, stood under a rather severe can , nonage, and the apathy with which .-the . men looked at the balls and shells that fell around them ; and it is a fact, that at the siege of lbraila a considerable column, which was destined to storm the place, missed its way and got into the ditch, where there was not the slightest .vest►ge of a breach. in this situation they were. nearly annihilated ; :nor would .they, notwithstanding the .mistake was evident, move, until a positive order frou the Grand Duke Michael was sent to recall them. . But the Cossacks excite most my curiosity and interest ; equally brave and hardy as the re gular Russian soldier, they possess a sagacity and cunning which is not characteristic 'of the former. When the firing commenced, it was easily observed that the Cossacks around began instantly to assume an alacrity and to be alive to what was going on. They took their horses in hand—never remained quite stationary—kept a sharp look-out in the direction . of the fire of the cannon, and watched the ricochet of the ball and flight of the shell, so as to be in readiness to avoidthem. They are an incongruous set, tertainly ! Some old fellows, with , tong,. grey beards—some smart, yonn b cr ,iadi- 7 -some aktnoat Itl rags. and patches of. various • colours—While others are in very decent attire. The. Cossack who is appointed to attend me as orderly, is a young man, by no • means Cossack like, accord ing to the »otions I had formed of those people; I was struck by his - civilised appearance , and manners , ; ror•ou my arrival, when :he. first came to nie, with the respectful deportment of a soldier, united. to miatisiness and almost elegance of manner, ha said he was sent to wait upon roe by order otitis Oeueral, and had the honour of presenting himself to receive my commands. I do not mean to say they are all adds class, but I am told that Some. of them ate people of great wealth in their . own country, amassed chiefly by plunder, in the last wars; yet se great is their. passion: for that species of gain, " ayri „sacra fames," that, notwithstanding their riches, they voluntarily leave theii families and comfortable .dwellings„.and expose themselves, at an advanced age, to dangers, in quest of more. That - they are marauders, and that they are rather merciless at times, is true ; for an attempt was made to make them give up for the general good the plunder they took in action,:bnt with out success,—it was then found that no prisoners were takens-.—they were invariably killed : so that, as their services are .so essential :to the army, it is become•necessary to sanction their practices ; and to prevent atrocities, the Emperor has issued a very humane order, by which the Cossack or soldier receives one ducat for every prisoner on foot taken alive, mid two ducats for every prisoner mounted. the. Cossacks are divided into rea t' iments of five hundred each, having a standard and, Captain for every hundred, independent of junior officers two, or more field-officers for the whole, accoiding to cireumstancess • and a .Lieutenant- Colonel, or Colonel-Commandant, whose name the . regiment_bears. In their bivouacs, as well as in their operations anti attacks, they seem to pay little _regard to regularity : and their huts, those Of the officers, as well as those of the men, in front of which are picketted their horses, are formed in the simplest and rudest manner imaginable :—sometimes three pikes or pOles with branches and hay, or perhaps their burkas, or cloaks of skin,- thrown over them, form their- dwellings. Dressed in a short, blue jacket, without but tons, but hooked down the front—loose trowsers of the same colour—a cylindrical, and sometimes a fur or forage cap—seated upon a cushion fixed to a high saddle—mounted upon a small, bony, and by no means Bucephalus-like, but certainly hardy, horse—armed with a pistol stuck under each arm in a girdle, a firelock slung across his shoulders, and sword, or a long twelve. foot pike, —the Cossack is, on the least alarm, instantly ready for the combat. He is endowed by his nature and habits with an instinct which peculiarly 'fits him for the duties of outposts, and for their service (in which, by the by, I am taking some lessons) I suppose the Cossacks the best troops in the world. The confidence reposed in them is such, that the whole duty of the advanced posts is intrusted to their care, and performed by 250 men ; and so great is their patience and vigilance, that nothing escapes their observation, and not a Turk can stir without their knowledge. The moment an . elarm is given, the first two or three that can get ready immediately sally forth from the bivouac—these are followed by six or eight—these again by moreand lastly comes the reserve, or main body, in perhaps greater order. In their regular attacks, they are some times in one, and sometimes in two r anks, ac cording to their strength ; they ad vance in the form of a semi-circle, with this centre retired ; the greater numbers immediately fly off and seek the tiauks and rear of the enemy, while a small portion, supported frequently by a reserve, attack to the front ; but perhaps what makes them the most formidable, is the extraordinary facility with which they disperse and instantly collect again in a pulk or body upon any particular part of the enemy's line. However, for the most part, they pay little attention to regularity ; so that after an attack, having no trumpets or sounds to assemble them, and as they do not always take out their standards, their Captains are obliged, by dint of hallooing, or in the best manner they can, to collect their pulks. They do not in general use the pike like the lance, but couch it, and ride full gallop, like the knights of old, at their an tagonists. The Turk justly fears it; as the in strument, should it not kill, inflicts a dreadful gash ; and the unfortunate sufferer, when severely wounded and transpierced,has often been known to say. " Ah, Cossack ! Cossack ;" and by signs implore him to put an end to los miseries by an effectual thrust. After having overcome his prisoner , t he first thing the Cossack does, is to seize upon his Turks arms, which with the are highly orna mented and valuable — his turban and sash, which • • Qgreat worth are sometimes cashmere shawls_ of and his purse ; and if he is not killed or badly wounded, time victor then places his unfbrtunate behindman him, upon the very cantle of hi, saddle, se i z es him by the hands, and gallop s o ff with him to the rear. In this situati on , j o l te d and galled almost to death, I saw a Turkish c hi e f (a Colonel), a few days ago, w h o h a d been taken prisoner by an old2rme):1:!:, of , grey-bearded e(1 too thless Cossack, at the minim , alLir, and was by him brought before the Ge. nand for examination. The outposts have skirmishes daily ; but the Cossacks and Turks' seem to have a good un. derstaudina between them, for they often meet, talk to each other, and, carry en.war in a more way Man formerly. The Turks, perhaps I should say those of the wariso,PlQf kiiurgevo and Rutschuck, do not correspond with,.the.idea I had formed of them, r from 41.tliat I have heard or read .of that race— iiideed, I believe we have generally a very im perfect knowledge 'of that nation, and that most 'of the' accounts we receive of them are much 'misrepresented or exaggerated.

But, g. 4 ,tmtple numerous ; And of as I said. the, forces. of the shove: garrison do not answer the. .expectations . I lidd itbrined of the Turkish soldier. .From the specitien before us, it would induce a belief that they had either de generated as warriors, or, which 'is • most natural to suppose, that the Sultan has the flower of ihe Ottoman forces at Shumla, tehind the Bzilkan ; but the invincible Janissary no longer exists ; and the daring Spahi, with his proud Arab charger,,does not glitter amid the ranks of Km chuck 4chmet, whose troops are mounted upon small, ohlinary, and sometimes very inferior horses. Trowsers i very loose to the calf, thence tight to the ankle ; a close waistcoat, open at the neck, and covered - below by. a 'shawl . tied round the waist ; a jacket'witb, very. full and Abort sleeve.s, showing the equally, looms sleeves of the shirt ; turban on his.head, and yellow boots or slipper,: on his feet, form the usual and very becoming ►tress of.a The trowsersi waistcoat, and jacket are of various colouri, and ornamented with- embroidery ; and the turban is white, green, or otherwise, • according to the 'rank and priv ilevs of the wearer. 'His arms are a lOng knife, called a handjar ,or , yatagan, used for cutting off heads, a brace of pistols, which he carries in a broad leathern girdle, a gun slung across the shoulders, and a curved 'sabre, his deXterity in the use of which is such, that with a single blow, or rather cut, he•will sever the head Trout the bodtir. The Turks have little or no method in: their movements, or in their mode of warfare. Some thnes. they will sally forth from the fortress in bodies of 100 or 150, and endeavour to surprise an advanced post of Cossacks, near- the village of Slobodze, on.the'westbf.Gitirgevo e and some times, with- a largereforee; they will ineke, a dash on the lefeflank of tbei-eamp (where several have been killed in the very bivouac of-the Cossticks), in the rear of which are some stores and waggons, supposed by them to be treasure. The Paeha is very active, and has fa vourite days.for sorties, which are generally on Thursdays, Saturdays, or Sundays. Reinforced by t.toops from Rutsehuk, he will at those time:; coneont with a force of 6 or 7,000 men, and endeavour at once .to penetrate to the encamp ment of -his enemy ; or he will draw tip tinder protection of the guns of the fortress, and tempt his adversary-from' his position, and within range of the shot of the works. Frequently, after can nonading for a tiine, the Turks will move for ward in .a tolerable line of cavalry and infantry Mixed ; and then, in masses or wedges, com posed promiscuously of those two forces, and with shouts of " Allah I Allab I Allah l" they will .adyaaw : upon their opponents. Infuriated often by- opium, they are very vigorous at first ; but the coolness and firmness el the Russians—Who usually receive them in squares, supporting each other, and the cavalry having at the same time guns at their angles—and the steady and well directed- fire, particularly of their artillery, soon disperse and put the Moslem to flight, and then the COssaeksarelet loose upon them. They have always been very wary of the squares Ofinfantry ; upon which, notwithstandingthey arc only formed three deep, the Turkish cavalry have not suc ceeded in making any impression. The field-pieces of the Turks are, if any thing, of a smaller calibre than those of the Russians, and were at first drawn by bullocks instead of horses; but in the practice of their artillery they are by no means so deficient as is generally sup posed : it is possible they may have foreigners with them—for their shot, contrary to received opinion, are thrown with an accuracy that would do credit to regularly disciplined artilleryists. The Turkish prisoners meet with any thine- but ill treatment from the Russians. The. Cos sacks will occasionally be rather merciless ; but the captives, when brought in, are always well s will he ast on i s h e d at t h e rap id treated, and have frequently bee i t ) i re, s s e e n l t hack netmidi ‘ i i t y i :: n pofrets:entist.ussia to t v ie ards civilization of lsat trei N d V )e, e h s : rt e sh v ,e e ya r ni c tita o et the e s improvements that have evi dently taken place in the organization of their forces.

That this Meeting of the Freeholders of the county of Kent will support and maintain the princi pies, that placed the House of Brunswick on the Throne of these realms. 2. That.those principles being founded:upon civil and religious li:ierty, haveadvanced the power, wealth, and dig nity •of the 'Trnited Kingdom, to the most exalted station amongst the nations of Europe, and have hitliet to preserved its internal peace . , by securing to al: its subjects their just rights, privileges, and immunities. S. That although at the revolution, in 1688, when. King William ascended the throne, whose principles were, under the peculiar circumstances of the times, founded upon the total exdusioa of Papists-from all places, and ap-' pointments of trust, power, and responsible service, yet it . does not appear that the wisdom of our ancestors intended that such exclusion should be permanent under alt the cir cumstances and in all situations ; and Parliament, acting upon- that wise; conciliatory, and benignant plan, in the year 1775, and again in 1791, and at the union with Ire land, repealed and abolished the greater put of the severe penal code, under which the Roman Catholic population of the United. Kingdom -existed and suffered. 4. That it appears suth concessions have occasioned no detriment to the peace, security, and general welfare of these realms; but that the accession of the. talents, zeal, incluatry„en4 loyalty of,the Roman Catholics to the com mon cause of Mick country, have augmented its: resources; secured its solid inckpeinience, and carried victory by its arms, through the subject - ocean, to the most distant re gions of the KWh... .8. That the astonishing events of the- last fifty years have created a mighty change in the affairs of men, and that it is no longer just, Wise, expedient, or even possible, to withhold from seven millions 'of our fellow-subjects, comprising one-third .of our population, any portion of their civil rights and immunities ; and that the safety and security of the Protestant Church of England will be far better secured and provided for, by conciliating all classes of tie King's Roman Catholic subjects in its defence, by their. having one common cause.-the glory, hon Our, and safety of their common country—to protect and maintain; than by any system of force and compulsion the ingenuity of man can invent, or his cruelty and wickeArress carry into execution. 6. That the Protestant religion, secure in the divine purity of its doctrinee, draWn froin the sacred sources of inspiration in the Holy Scriptures, need not fear, in the present enlightened state , of human society, competition with any other creed- whatever, Its best security is in the heart of man ; tied its most powerful protectors, his hopes of heaven hereafter. 7. That the large military force requisite to keep in subjection the Catholic population of Ireland, and its enor mous expeuce, equal to the whole revenue, derived from Ireland, in the present awful state both of the foreign and domestic relations of the empire, loudly call upon Parlia ment to put an end to such a state of evil and misrule ; and by adopting conciliatory plans to assuage her wrongs, and bring back the brae, 'generous, proud•spirited. nation of Ireland to a grateful sense of the value of her connexion with Great Britain, and thus cement, by the most power•. fulOf human ties, the real union of these- sister islands, thus rendering the power of the United• Empire invincible at horne,.and the arbiter,,refuge, and resource .of, the na tions of the earth. S. That for the convintiUg reasons, tOunded on these resolutions, the freeholders of the county of Kent do hereby_ resolve to present a petition, in ,tke spirit •thereof, to his Most Gracious Majesty, praying him to be pleased to as-• semble his Parliamei With the least possible diay, that they may: take into iiieir most serious consiktition thw.; %larinirlig,state of Ircilltd, ready for civil war ; r s popula tion in 4zostile array against eir e b other ; and even distant nations waiting for the cannon's roar to give the signal of war and desolation, to join in separating that valuable and most important portion of the British dominions from us for ever. 9. That this petition be presented to his Majesty by the High Sheriff, accompanied by the Marquis Camden, the Lord Lieutenant, and all the Peers of Parliament attending this meeting. 10. Tliit petitions founded on then resolutFons be pie isesited to both Housed of Parliament. 11. That the county members, and the members of the cities, towns, boroughs, and cinque ports, of the county of Kent, be most earnestly entreated to support, in. Parlia ment, such . a system of conciliatory conduct towards the Roman Catholics of Ireland, as may tend to pacify that country, and secure the Protestant establishment in Church and State, by removing the danger to both from the present distracted‘state of the sister island. 12. That a copy of these reNutiona be sent to his Grace the Duke of Wellington,' and to Mr. Peel, by the High Sheriff. 1I 11D' OCT. 23. This town at present is as tranquil as usual ; and, judg• ing from appearances, a stranger ignorant of the fact would hardly suppose its immediate neighbourhood was to-mor row to become the arena of a great political and religious contest. The illiberals are said to have a majority here, though th e s t a t emen t i s d ou btf u l. If it I se true, Maidstone has the unenviable distinction of being the only populous town in the county in which bigotry and intolerance have the ascendancy. In Canterbury and Rochester, the Liberals are unquestionably the more numerous party, and it is to the credit of most - of the clerical dignitaries of both places, that they have remained passive; indeed, their in fluence,. if exerted, would have been inconsiderable. The great strength of the Brunswickers is in the agricultural districts, where intelligence is not much diffused, and where the opinion and influence of the landlord are para mount. The party are aware of this, and hence most of their appeals are addressed to the " Honest Grey-coats of Kent," as they call the farmers. The Brunswickers are not inactive. A printer of . this place was busily engaged yesterday in printing placards with the words, " No popery,,, in s i x Linch letters. These were sent off by the coaches and other conveyances, this morning, in ull direc tions, for the purpose of being posted. One man went up to FOO6l Cray, by the six o'clock London coach, from which place he was to work his way back, posting ita he went. - The Brunswkk dinner,' which was to have closed; and given eclat to the business of to-morrow, is not to take place. Penenden-heath, where the meeting is to be held, is distant from the town rather more than a mile. The ap proach to it is along a retired lane: Its limits have been gradually reduced by successive enclusurra, leaving an oblong space of about a quarter of a mile..in the broadest part, and nearly half a mile in length. About. the middle of one side, and immediately in front of a plantation of. firs and larches, stands a small wooden building, having every appearance of a cow-house, but which is dignified with the sounding title of the Shire-hall. It is about eighteen feet square, and about ten feet high, with an opening in front, and it is from this place that the aristocracy of this great county ate to addreee the meeting to. morrow. No other accommodation bas been provided. The build ing is in a most decayed state, not having been repaired since the year 1781; the county and the successive sheriffs since that period having been in dispute as. to whom the onus fell upon. The question, there is ground for be lieving, has been recently decided by documentary evidence against the county. It is in this broken-down building that all . county business is commenc e d ; but it has been usual to adjourn thence into the town,—a course which cannot well be adopted on the present occasion, from the great numbers who are expected to attend. teaidee, the gentry on a former occasion bad rather a rough specimen o f w hat the Men of Kent" could do when the subject was an unpalatable one ; for when the corn-law question an adjournment was made to the arket• where m ut they seized the wagg ons th a t Inkd been dr a w n p w l a a s ce, agitated, out to forth the hustings, dragged them through the town, and set them swimming in the Medway ; indeed, one of bridgeth actually flung over the parap e t o f th e crosses that stream. Owin g t o th e inces e waggons wbiib they tent rain which has been falling ever since last night, the heath, although high ground, is very swampy, and if the rain cont i nued, i ts con dition to-morrow will, aft er a li tt l e trampling, become dreadful. It would be presumptuous in any person w h o h a d n ot had an opportunity of aster taining inti mate l y t h e state of feeling and of party in every village in K e nt to attempt t o predicate the issu e o f to morrow's meeting. distributing bills in every direction. - - Cobbett is down here, and has been r!uci 7D:7:
