" with respect to Ireland in particular, they are a primary cause of her poverty and wretched ness, and the source of those political dis contents and religious animosities that dis tract the country, endanger the safety of all its institutions, and are destructive alike of social happiness and national prosperity." In this nu merous list we find 1 Duke, 4 Marquises, 13 Earls, 5 Viscounts, 3 Barons, 34 Members of Parliament, and m a ny Magistrates. M r . E nsor , the chairman- of a late meeting of the Louth Inde • pendent Club, v i ew ed, we think, th e B runsw i c k Clubs in the proper light. "I cannot praise them (he said) for their intentions, and I can not dispraise them for flockingaogether ; they are merely Orange men with a new name, and I declare I do not think the Irish could or. would proceed if they had not these g oa d s perpetually stinging them. The Irish are susceptible, sudden, but not very persevering ; the Brunswickers will keep them steadily to their work." We are satisfied the Brunswick Clubs have benefitted the good cause, not merely in strengthening a vulnerable point in the Irish character, but in filling the respect able part of the people of England with disgust at the conduct of the Orangemen. Lord Nugent, at the dinner to Mr. O'Connell, was justified "in vindicating the nglish people from the foul charge of bigotry and illiberality. - Wherever the people are assembled in such numbers as to be able to display independent feeling, there are at least six to one in favour of the removal of disqualifying laws. What better test of this, we ask, can be obtained than the Newspapers? No man takes a newspaper which advocates opinions of which he disapproves. Now, let any man go through the towns of England capable, from the population, of supporting a newspaper without the resource of county advertisements, and he will find them favourable to the Catholics in the ratio which we have described. Go to Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Norwich, everywhere, you will find the same result. In the agricultural districts, the population must necessarily express the opinion of the landlords, because the land of England is mostly held at will, and, in England whatever opinions a man may entertain, in 99 cases out of 100 interest will determine the cpi nions he avows. Pride, were there no other cause, would lead the man who must express the power of his landlord to conceal his real opinion, if he had another, to prevent his re spectability from suffering in the general estima tion ; for if a man is anxious to conceal his want of principle by sophistry from himself, how much more anxious must he be to conceal it !from a less indulgent tribunal ? We take it then for granted that the Brunswickers of England may obtain their tenantry to a man ; and that the clergy, if they stir, may, with the aid of machi nery at their command, also influence many. But these opinions are really worth nothing. We set down the opinions of the tenantry of the coun try, pro and con, as merely the opinions of the landlords, when the landlords choose to exert their influence. In times of great excitement, ordinary ties and ordinary motives are disregard ed ; but the present is not such a time, in England at least. When society is convulsed, a generous ardour, superior to all calculation, hurries men down the stream of national feeling. At the breaking out of the ,French Revolution, and years afterwards, the lessons of calculating prudence; and the remonstrances of wives alarmed for the support of their children, were disre garded by men in all situations throughout civi lized Europe. Similar conjunctures produce similar results. But we are not entitled to calcu late on these resulta wheie the causes ire. not adequate to produce the feeling in which they have their origin. We therefore say that the lessons- of cold selfishness are the only lessons which, in England, will be attended to at pre sent. The prosperity of the empire affects an ordinary man little, in comparison with the wants of the wife of his bosom and the children who are twined round his heart. The Irish, however, are in the state of excitement, which is capable of the most generous devotion. And as Mr. Montesquieu Bellew observed at the Louth Independent Club, the " agitation has now reached that point at which it, requires re gulation rather than excitement." His sugges tions, with respect to another mode of action than that which may gratify the wishes of an enemy longing for blood are not undeserving of attention, especially when coupled with the complaints uttered by the Rev. Mr. Seymour a to the destitution of the body of the Protestants of the North .of Ireland. "Jf there la any bloodshed, it is sure to• be used by . our ene mies as a pretext for the introduction of an additional military force, whilst on our side no counterbalancing advantage can accrue ; bttt there are more unobtrusive means of effect ing the same objects, and of shewing the Pro. testant community, that when they choose to en joy the luxury of displaying thebsparty predilec tions, they must, as a preliminary, take care to be independent men. It is really monstrous to think how nietOvho' have fattened on our pas have g r ow„ r i ch by Catholic money t i t res, who and Catholic custom, turn upon us in the day of trial, as in the case of a . Rev. Gentleman who attended the Brunswick Club in Wicklow. The extent-to which seven millions of people may in this manner work al against on e , ;-s yet hardly known. We have for years addressed ourselves to the generous feelings of onr Protesta nt f e l lows countrymen, to their love of justice and of free dom ; we have besought them, as an act of , ness and conciliation, to put in practice in their own country those principles for the maintenance , of which they have subSidized . the half of Europe. We have sought our rights from the benevolence of the Minister, we have been dis-. appointed ; henceforth we appeal to his interests and his fears : we will keep strictly within the law, but we will give every possible annoyance : we will be ingenious in the variety of our oppo sition, but all within the law." It is only by making it more convenient for us to concede their claims than to reject them, that the Catho lics can succeed. John Bull is very liberal ; and the Minister may be liberal, but the watchword is, let us rub on as long as we can. The first feeling is that of ill-will at beimg disturbed in ou r enjoyments. Will these Irish never he at ease ? But when the discomfort attains a certain point, we must rouse ourselves in good earliest. Morning Chronicle. lish The Engare a sho w -l ov i ng people, but, _ above all other shows, do exhibitions of : Royalty delight them. Nor are they veri, ised or savage particular as to what climate or country—"-oivi —a Royal Visitor comes from,. or whether he or she belongs to the class of Absolute or Con stitutional Sovereigns. Give the people of Lon don a crowned head to gaze at, or a head ex pected to wear a crown, and it matters not whe ther the Royal Stranger has been transplanted from the polite air of Versailles, the stormy re gions_ of the North, the luxurious chines of the East, or , the rude latitudes of the Sandwich idalids—the magic of the name King, Queen, • lor Prince, will, of itself, operate like a charm upon the heart of thi s most grave and thinking people. It will stop them in the streets = it will fascinate them in • the highways—it will be a spell to - withdraw them from other pleasures; and even from busineS.4=and make them literally besiege the abode of exotic Royalty from morning to night with their tu multuous admiration. But it is well enough when this national passion goes no farther, and does not reach, with its contagious enthusiasm, the Government itself'. • Too often has it (lone so, and the history and present condition of this country afford melancholy evidence of the ' un happy proneness of' our statesmen to surpass the " giddy indiscretion" of the multitude, and carry their sympathy fOr foreign Princes so far as to sacrifice the blood and . treasure of the country in espousing their quarrels, with which we ought to have no more to do than with the regulation of dynasties in the moon. A great portion, cer tainly more than one-half, of the enormous debt of England, has been incurred in this way. Some time ago the public were running as wildly after Don Miguel . as they now run after the infantine - Queen of Portugal, whose throne the same Don Miguel, who was so flattered, praised, and pampered in this country, has usurped. But, whatever be the success of the now absolute Miguel's usurpation, we do hope that a sad experience has at length taught our rulers better than to undertake any Quixotic enterprise to make the settlement of the crown of that kingdom an English instead of a Portuguese affair, . Every nation should be left to the choice of its own Government as well as to the choice of its lan guage, laws, or fashions. The restoration of 11 Die ✓Bourbons cost us incalculable sums o: money, and an immense waste of blood ; and what is the consequence ? The Government oi the Bourbons now take every opportunity they can to overreach and circumvent us. The same may be said of the result of the restoration of Ferdinand VII. So much for the gratitude of our Royal proteges ! Let us become wiser from experience, and, while we treat the kings or heirs to kingdoms who visit our shores with hospitable courtesy, let us leave them and their people to settle their disputes without our meddling inter ference.—Morning Herald. A Morning Paper of yesterilay, in an article of which the language is declamatory and the meaning obscure, seems to contend that the ex tent and number of our colonial possessions, and the universal diffusion of our commerce, are rea sons why England should be prompt to inter meddle. in the internal affairs, and to disregard the independent rights of other nation. These favourable circumstances in the condition of Eng land are precisely the reasons, as we think, why the English, of ,all Governments, should most cautiously abstain from interference in any case where inactivity is reconcilable with her interests and her honour. In proportion as our Colonies are numerous and valuable, and distant from the Mother Country and from each .other, are we susceptible of injury and annoyance, from the operation of that uneasy spirit in other Govern ments which our cotemporary recommends Eng land to inculcate and justify by her own ex ample. In proportion as our commerce is dif-. fused, and our merchants scattered abroad among every people upon .earth,- is it impor- - taut - to the peace, security, and mutual'confi dence of nations, that - English traders, sheltered by : the hoSpitalitY of foreign lands, should have . no-sanction . froth their , Government to ! become political partisans or intriguers... The more close, perpetual, and necessary Mir contact with the interests, the institutions, and the prejudices of other .States, the more we are bound by justice and honour, as well as by an enlightened sense of our own interest, to respect their national feelings, and to shun . the -appearance' of a dis position to invade their national independence. The had reasoning of ; our cotemporary can, however, excite no surprise when it is found to be merely introductory to an .elabo rate encomium upon the foreign policy of our late liberal Administration. The friends of the late Mr. Canning must regret to see his claims to the character of a Statesman upheld by an allusion to topics, which, whatever may be thought by the zealous but in judicious champion who advocates them, are calculated to make those claims the . subject of derision. "He laid," says our cotemporary, " the foundation of permanent freedom to Por tugal under the dynasty of Don Pedro, beCause it was a British interest of no mean order that the right line of the House of Braganza should reign in close alliance with Great Britain, and that the alliance should he cemented by free in stitutions on both sides, instead of a despo tic rule being • established and maintained under the protection of Spain and the House of Bourbon."—We had always understood Mr. , Canning to have expressly and so lemnly disclaimed having aay thing to do with laying the foundation of this permanent freedom, which lasted with difficulty about twelve months. If he had any thing to do with it, he deceived not only the British nation at large, but his colleagues:in the Administration. It quite clear, however, that these who did lay this foundation, built upon the sand, and Manifested a lamentable ignorance of the character, the wishes, and the wants of the nation whom they .aspired to benefit and rule. The British army sent to defend this permanent freedom against the fortniddble, power of Spain (for here even ,Spain was formidable), were received' by the Portuguese people not as friends, but as ene mies ; and no sooner was that army withdrawn than the permanent, freedom was abolished by the Portug uese people themselves, without any party among them making an effort in its de fence. They returned spontaneously and gladly to the despotic, rule, which, bad as it may be, we must remind our Cotemporary, ex isted in Portugal when the alliance with Great Britain was best demented, - and which unques tionably had not then, any more than it now al) . pears to require, the protection of Spain and the House of Bourbon. "So Mr, Canning," we ar e further told , • protect e d Greece, because _ freedom every where is a British inte rest , an d security to commerce a British interest, and be cause it was a British and an European interest, that Russia, Which • professed an anxiety for li berating G ree ce, should not be provided with a pretext for subjugating Turkey. Had M r. Canning lived, Greece would have been Icing since freed, and he would not be afraid to t e ll Russia—' March agaiuist Constant i nople at your a British peril: " Freedom everywhere is interest ; so it is an American interest—so it is a Dutch interest ; so it is, beyond all question, an interest common to all mankind. It is so common an interest, indeed, that th e Governments of the world will not allow to any one of their number the monopoly of pro tecting it, or the right even of defining in what it (Twists. Thus Mr. Canning could only be the protector of Greece in conjunction with M. De Villele, who had just before put down what the former called, and the latter did not call, liberty in Spain ;. and in conjunction also with the Ministers of Russia, who assisted but the other day in putting down the rising liberty of Italy, and assist every day in keepin g the hundred millions of their master's subjects in the most cruel and abject bondage. The plea of a general regard to freedom is too vague to be of any validity, and too susceptible of abuse to be safely employed by those who have any thing to lose. It would justify the American Congress iii protecting the Ne groes of Jamaica, rather better than it can justify Mr. Canning 'in having attempted tO i protect the Greeks. But the security acorn meree is beyond all question an interest pecu liarly British; and Mr. Canning manifested his zeal and talent in upholding it, by permitting piracy to flourish and increase in the Levant, al though the whole naval force of Great Britain was at his 'comme..nd, until it had grown to an adequate magnitude to serve as one of the apolo gies for a Treaty the most dishonourable and injurious to his country, but which was sure to procure him the immediate applause of all the Liberals of Europe, whom it suited his .opening prospects just at that period to court. .To prevent Russia from subjugating Turkey was clearly a British and an Euro pean interest, but that Russia was suspected of such a . design was surely no reason for forming an alliance, by the existence of which, and the measures to be taken in the furtherance of its object, Russia was sure to be placed in an improved position, both as regards character and strength, and Turkey, to be at - once irritated and enfeebled. When there was reason to suspect Russia of meditating the subjugation of Turkey; had the f o r e i gn p o li c y o f England been under the guidance of high intelligence and honourable principle, piracy in the Levant would have been crushed by his single arm, every effort -would have been made to pacify Greece, without detriment' to the 'Sovereign rights of the Ottoman Porte, and at all events any intimate alliance with Russia would have been spurned. Then was the time to say to Russia, " March against Con stantinople at your peril."—Morning Post. We have been blamed by some of our ea tempdraries, to whose opinion we defer, for the conclusion that we drew most reluctantly from Mr. Peel's silence at the Manchester meeting.— It has been said, and plausibly said, that dinner parties were not the proper places for a Minister of the Crown to explain his sentiments either on great or small questions of policy. Mr. Peel, we admit, might have taken the liberty of silence with his friends. He was sure that no apparent coldness or hesitancy on his side would wean them from the cause of which he used to be the most powerful and upright champion.-- He, safely calculate that even his actual :abandonment, much less the'suspicion of an intention . to abandon thein, would not turn back those Who, in every part of the country, are starting up, as if from slumber, to defend the principles which he has the lasting honour of having propagated. But, .though Mr. Peel might safely conclude that no silence of his would de ter his friends from the•vindication of the church . which they hold s o d ear , a nd t h e const i tut i on which their fathers have pnrehased with their blood, there was another party on whom he should have known that it would produce' no slight effect. He 'ought to have bethought him of enemies as well as .friends when he forbore, though s© directly called on, to say whether his views were or were not changed on a question not more deeply agitated by the one than the other, though from very different motives. We have inferred, perhaps .hastily, perhaps illo gically—let that , pass—certain things froth that ominous suppression. The friends of• Catholicity, the pro-popery advocates, have come to the same conclusion somewhat more decisively; for, where we merely feared and doubted, they boldly assert " that the silence of the one brother-in-law, and the speech of the other," were proof infallible o the intentions of Government, and of course o. the intentions. .of Mr. Peel and Mr. DaWsor For a proof ofth e un i versa lity o f the opini on_ en tertained of Mr. Peel, we have only to refer to the report of the CheSter Whig Meeting, of which we have given,a Cull and impartial account in another column—all contemptible as are the Whigs and their affairs at Chester and• every where else-:--because we are anxious to let our readers , see what miserable creatures these anti constitutionalist spouters are, and because we wish to show to 'Mr. Peel the sentiments which his silence haS inspired into ,the . Whigs as well as the. Tories. Having done so, we hope we are not too sanguine in expect ing that he will embrace or ma k e an o p portun i ty of explaining himself. We shall hold our co , lumns honoured by their being made the medium, if not for the benefit of the friends, at least for the satisthction of the enemies, of the Constitu tion. We solemnly exln,rt him to this ; and we hope our exhortation will not be ineffectual. If it prove so—if, after all that has. passed, we are doomed to behold Mr. Peel arnoog the deserters of the glorious cause of which we are the feeble advocates- r -we shall bid him farewell more in sorrow than.anger ;. for. no punishment that we could frame or inflict will be equal to that which must follow the cowardly abandonment of prin ciples deliberately chosen and long -cherished— principles, to the maintenance of which . he and his owe all their power and consequence, and estimation ; and which forsaking, they must and will sink into impotence, insignificance, and con tempt.-lorningJournal alias.

Lord EaktiNcTotr, and many other distinguished Protestants from this and the surrounding counties, have expressed their intention of attending on the occasion.-- Wateilbrd Chronicle. .Last week a. duck belonging to Mr. T.

A SENTIMENTAL JOCKEY.—It was plea santly observed by a sentimental jockey, who lost by a con siderable length the first race he ever rode, " never ride another as long as I live.

MANSION-HOUSE..---Mr. nobler, the chief clerk, yesterday called the attention of the LORD MAYOR to a case of great misfortune, to the truth of which he bore tes timony himself, as well as to the worth and respectability of the sufferers. His object was to procure the aid of his Lordship, and through the medium of the public press, which he was convinced would not be silent upon an occa sion of so afflicting a nature, the aid of other benevolent persons, to the unhappy family who had such claims upon compassion. He then read a letter which he had re ceived from Yarmouth, from a widow lady named Meall, and which he said repeated facts he was already well ac quainte I with. The late husband of Mrs. Meall, it appeared, bad been brought up to the sea, and had from his early youth high expectations, all of which were frustrated, notwithstanding the incessant exertion of great talents. The only thing, in ,fact, in which he could ever he said to have been for tunate, was his union with a woman of the most amiable disposition, and the most extraordinary intellectual attain ments. They had been married eight years. In the first year he was wrecked. In the second, he went out in the hope of redeeming his loss, but in a gale of wind the ship foundered. In the third he made another attempt, but he was a third time the sport of fortune: his ship was lost. All the property he and his father (a man 84 years of age, and new living in an alms-house) was possessed of in the world, were embarked in those vessels, and all was lost. Hi's wife then prevailed upon him to quit the element on which he had been so unfortunate, and she undertook to give lessons in the different branches of education she was competent-to teach. Her success was attributable to the great kindness of the lady of Mr. Brightwen, a pat tner in the banking-house of Gurney, Turner, and Brightwen, and to the bounty of that lady she owes it that site and four children are not now starving. Her health soon after she commenced her new avocation became very bad. She was compelled to relinquish the exertion of attending pupil, and her husband, whom calamity was still hunting down, failed in some commissions which he was employed to ex ecute, through an error of one of his employers. After having suffered infinite trouble and privations, he obtained charge of a fourth ship, bound to Sierra Leone. In a heavy gale of wiud be lost his first mate and four men, and in exerting himself to save the vessel he fell from the rigging and broke an artery. The'distress of his mind, the fatigues he had undergone, and therpoisimous nature of the elimate, presented a combination.which he was un able to withstand ; and he expired without the. consolation of knowing that his wife and children,* a friend in the world. Mr. Hobler stated, that the afflicted widow was now in a most precarious state of health, being attacked, within the last two months, with an intermittent ague. She had four children, the youngest of whom is a few months old, to support, without any means except those afforded by the benevolent lady above-mentioned. Her deceased husband had been highly respected by those who employed him, and if only ordinary prosperity had attended the zeal, persever ance, and talents of this child of . misfortune, his family would not only be comfortable now, but independent. As for the widow, she had borne up against such an accumu lation of eas with singular fortitude and resignation, and if her health were restored, would no doubt be able to sup port her children without Much difficulty, so eminent were her qualifications. The LORD MAYOR said that the case was one of those instances of had fortune which would not fail to excite public sympathy. He would take care that his exertions should not be wanting, and he gave Mr: Hobler some pri vate directions upon the subject of the application: CUILDHALL.—A middle-aged man, of respectable appearance, was charged with stealing a fowl from the window of Carter's poultry and fish shop, in Distaff. lane, Bread-street. • A boy gave notice at the shop yesterday morning that a gentleman who - had just passed had carried off the fowl, and lie was pursued and secured,- with the property in his possession, by two females who had the charge of the shop. Carter, who has been a constable many years, came up at the moment, and brought their prisoner 'away to Guildhall. Elizabeth Stanford deposed to these facts. The prisoner said he was a liveryman of the Dyers' Company, and had known Mr. Aldei.man Wood many years. He really was not aware the fowl produced had ever been in his possession. He hoped and misted he had never been guilty of stealing a fowl in his life. If the lady said he had taken away that fowl, he world willingly pay for it. The constable said his wife would swear to the same facts as Mrs. Stamford ; but as he had lost nothing, and remembered the prisoner to have been formerly a ware houseman carrying on a very extensive business, he had no wish to press for a commitment. He was quite sorry to see a person reduced - from affluence to such. straits. I am afraid he will do something of this kind again, if I allow him to go at large," observed Alderrnan &Hotta% " That I never shall," replied the prisoner eagerly. " Well," said the Magistrate, after reflecting for a mo ment, " I shall discharge yon; but take this with you It would have disgraced you very much if I had sent you to the Ohl Bailey, where your forther circumstances and your respectable appearance would not bare served you, and where you would have been liable to the same penal. ties as if the property bad been much more valuable. I hope you will benefit by the lenity shown you." The prisoner bowed and retired. BOW-STREET.—Yesterday Mr. Horatio Phillips, of No. 3, Charing-cross, bookseller, came to this Office to wait upon Mr. MINSIELULT., in order to explain, that though his name had been mixed up with the transaction respecting the anti-Catholic petitions, he had neither hand nor part in the business, further than his having been induced to become the publisher of the printed petitions to the King, on the usual terms—namely, five per cent. on the sale of the work. He (Mr. Phillips) said he_ had merely acted in the way of business, without any reference to political feeling ; and he would as soon have become the publisher of a petitiOn with a contrary object, provided he thought it a fair speculation. Mr. Phillips added, that in the letter published in the Times, signed " William Earle," that per son had taken a most unwarrantable liberty, in dating it from No. 3, Charing-cross. The letter in question had not been written there, nor had he (Mr. Phillips) seen Mr. Earle for the last fortnight or three weeks, when he came to acquaint him that Leitch had run away with a considerable sum of money belonging to him. The only money transactions that had ever passed between him (Mr. Phillips) and Mr. Earle, related to ss. or 65., which the latter gentleman bad borrowed from him, and had taken as many months to repay. In order to remove any unfavour able impression arising from a perusal of the report of the application of Sparrow, Mfllthillips produced the following memorandum of agreement between Mr. Earle and him self with respect to the publication and sale of the printed petitions : " London, July 14. " It is this day agreed between the undersigned, tliai Horatio Phillips is to be sole publisher of a petition against Catholic Emancipation, all the copies of which are N be delivered to him for sale, and he is to account for such sale once a month, at the usual trade price, and at 13 as 12, and five per cent. commission ; all expences to be paid by Mr. Earle, and if paid by Horatio Phillips, are to be charged by him in account ; Horatio Phillips not to be responsible for the amount of the copies sent to agents, as security is held by Mr. Earle for them, and he is not to pay for such copies at the monthly settlements unless he shall have re ceived the amount." Mr. Phillips Was asked whether,-in treating- with Mr.. Earle, he was under the impression that th e no bl e per sonages whose names bad been mentioned on Wednesday had sanctioned the undertaking, as Mr. Earle, in the letter alluded to, distinctly stated the reverse: • Mr. Phillips' replied, that not only had Mr. Earle stated that the Dukes of Cumberland and Newcastle, the Marquis of Chandos, Lords Kenyon, Farnham, and others, had b ee n favourable to the scheme, but that the Duke of Wel lington, the Earl of Eldon, and Mr. Peel; with all of whom be was in constant communication, were also friendly to it. In consequence of these representations, he (Mr. Phillips) was principally induced to undertake the publication of the petitions, believing, as Mr. Earle had assured him, that a considerable Burn of money had been collected to defray the expences of the undertaking. It now appeared,•howerer, that the printer of the petitions hail not been paid, neither hail the paper-merchant whO supplied the paper. Mr. Phillips added, parties for a c onsp i racy, he Would be most w illi ng to come that if Sparrow should proceed against the forward as a witness and state all be knew. It appears that Messrs. Earl;, Leitch, and Co., on their first starting the petition system, met with fair encourage ment, particularly at the town of Harwich, to which place Mr. Earle kited in person, and having made . known his business to his' worship the Mayor, was received with every mark of kindness and encouragement. On the day of his arrival, no leas than 3/. worth of the Is. O. petitions were sold to the townsfolk, and the next day being Sunday, his worship the hlayor walked arm-in.arm to church with Mr.' Earle, where a sermon was preached for the purpose, an nouncing the arrival of that gentleman, and calling upon all true and pious Protestants to forward the object he was deputed to accomplish—namely, to obtain signatures to an anti-Catholic petition. The exhortation had the effect de sired. The one and sixpences'came quickly in, and signa • tures innumerable were appended to the general petition. Elated with success, Mr. Earle returned to town, and leav ing the provinces to be scoured by his agents, (the, seven unlucky colleagues of poor Sparrow !) he himself set off for Holyhead, and taking his place in the steam-packet, deter mined to take Ireland by storm. How far his expectations were realized in that strong hold of Popery; has not as yet been announced, but the fate of his eight agents has unfor tunately been-fraught with disaster and disappointMent.— The example set by the townsfolk of Harwich was but in differently followed in other places, and they found out, when too late, that a batch of one-and-six-penny petitions would not pass current in satisfaction of a landlord's bill. Six of the unlucky agents, after having suffered the greatest possible privations and in.lignitiea, having, written invain for a supply of the needful to town, were forced to return to the metropolis, where some of them have Suffered, and are still suffering, the greatest distress. One of the unfortu• nate individuals is, we understand, at this moment, actually in pod in one of the inns in the town of Colchester, hay= ing run up a bill on the strength of a remittanc e from town which he has no means of paying. A letter from this . Un fortunate man, couched in terms of disappointment and de spair, states that he tried every means in his power to obtain signatures to the anti-Catholic petition without ef fect. The persons, he says, to whom lie has 'applied, refer him to others; and for want of a signature to begin with, his parchment still remains blank. A certain Baronet, he says, referred him to a clergyman, who in his"turn sent him to a squire, who again sent him to another party, and in this way he was bandied from one to another. Yesterday evening, Mr. W. J. Lawson, of Lombard street, waited upon Mr. HA Li.s, the sitting Magistrate, for his advice and assistance, under the following circum.. stances : Mr. Lawson stated, that a friend of his, a gentleman named Poulson, who resides at Beverley, in Yorkshire, happened some time ago to read an advertisement in a London newspaper, in which the advertiser offered to cash good bills to any amount at a reasonable discount.- Mr. Poulson happened at the moment to he in want of cash, and conceiving, that this advertisement afforded him a favourable opportunity to relieve his tempo rary embarrassment, he addressed a letter to the adver tiser, directed to No. 32, Craven-street, Strand, to which be received an answer by return of post from a person signing himself " L. Brown," stating that if Mr. Poulson would forward his note of hand for the sum which he required (2001.), the money should he transmitted, to him forthwith, after deducting the usual discount - With- out once questioning the credit of his correspondent, Mr. Poulson most incautiously forwarded his bill to Craven' street, and after some days of unpleasant suspense, a letter arrived from Mr. Brown, apologizing - for the delay, by stating that the party who was to have advanced the money was nut of town, but that in a few'daya the 'amount should be • forwarded. Mr. Poulson, having waited in vain for the promised remittance, became fearful at last that his bill had fallen into bad hands, lie accordingly wrote to the applicant, Mr. Lawson, who proceeded at once to 52, Craven , street, where he saw a gentleman and two ladies, who assured him that no person of the name of Brown lived there, and that, in short, they knew of no such person. A servant man and woman at this moment came running up stairs from the kitchen, and said that if the gentleman had any communication to make to Mr. Brown, they would be sure to deliver it to him. Sur prised at this, Mr. Lawson turned for tin explanation to the ladies and gentleman, who invited him to the parlour, and then called in the servants, who, however, on being questioned respecting their knowledge of Brown, denied that they knew any thing about him. Under these cir: cumstances, which, in his opinion, amounted to a case 'of strong suspicion, Mr. Lawson requeited the Magistrate's assistance. Mr. HAt.t.s, after observing that Mr. Poulson had acted with great incaution, ordered Ellis, the: officer, to go to Craven-street with the applicant, and see what could be done to indnCe the servants to conf ess Where Brown would be found.. In about half an hour Ellis returned, and stated that on going to Craven-street he was told that the two servants, had both decamped immediately after Mr. Lawson had been there. No one could' t e ll w h ere the y had gone to, and thus the affair rests for the present. Mr. Lawson ex. pressed his determination on the part of his friend to resist the payment of the bill when it shall become chc. • , • MARLBORO UG H-STREET.:---AbOut one o'clock yes terday, a person, who appeared to be a porter, came to the office, and stated that Albensarle-street, opposite Grillon's Hotel, was completely blocked up by a mob of persons who were waiting to see the young Queen of Portugal, and th e proprietors w e re anx i ous to have some officers to remove the persons away. Mr. CONANT observed, that it was most disgraceful in persons making such a nuisance ; he also ohserVed, tlsa the_ house of Monsieur Verry was still surrounded by number of persons, although the young Udy'was dead. _ The ApPlicant—Will you send some officers down? Sir G. FannAwr—The Queen is going away in a few days, but we shall certainly send some persons, Mr. CONANT—I wifl write a note to Sir R. Birnie to send some of his officers to the hotel. Two officers were accordingly dispatched, with orders to take any person into custody who should be found committing any offence. Immediately after, Schofield brought in a fellow of the name of joseplt Edward Tyrrell, for creating a disturb- . ance at M. Verrey's. Schofield stated, that Mademoiselle Verrey was to be buried yesterday. This circumstance. being known, occasioned a great number of persons to as semble, when the prisoner came up, and by his conduct caused a reob to re-assemble, laughing and shouting in a most indecorous manner. Mr. CoNAN'r—flow came you to behave in this *Un manly manner? Prisoner—l did not behave so, but the officer shook me ; I was only looking at the place. Mr. CONANT—You know the mob haS been the death of the poor girl, and now you are going to persecute the father. Prisoner—No, lam not. Mr. 'CONANT—YOU must find hail ; this conduct is a disgrace to the metropolis. Schofield—l hare seen M. Verney this morning, and his listress is, if possible, increased by the mob round his house.
