It was a tnost powerful anta -gonisr to that most noxious, odious, anti destrnc titt the rat ; and more effective against him than poison, trans, -gins, and all that the hammer anti the anvil could forge. One of our gteat poets 1i,41 told us, that " all was made for delightful use." If any Gentleman chose to keep a tame rat, and use him to run from room to room, and decoy its own race into snares, that rat should, by the Bill he proposed to introdoce, be placed under the prottetion of the laws. There was another description of ani mals, half wild and half tittue, generally, kept sorb menageries as Mons:enr Polito's, but which also frequently made the round of the country, and gave the rising generation a practical less.m of nati;ial'history. These were not, at ,present, under -tire protection of law, and should zny thief krreak in - anti steal a lion, I,e could not r oi rcu t e d for petty l,irceny.

We understood, however; that none took place, atilt Mr. Lawson gave up his moti►►n. On being rr-a►lmittedl, we found the H►►n.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then gave notice, that on Tuesday sennight he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal such part of the ancient laws of .the Country as authorised Trial 'by Battle.

The Report of the ]surveyor-General of the Board of Works, who was directed to ascertain, by cx;•einnent, hoe.' far it is safe and practicable to supersede the practice of Climbing Boy 3 by the use of Machinery, has been presented to Parliament. It appears that in the experiments made he bad the assistance of all our most eminent architects; and the result is, that " he is most decidedly of opinion, the total abolition of Climbing Boys in the Sweeping of Chim flies is at present impracticable, and could not be attempted without incurring much risk of danger to the general safe ty of the 'Metropolis. Report horn the Committee upon Expired and Expiring Laws. LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAL [Morning Post.] Mails front Holand and Hainhurgh have ar rived. Great interest appears to have been ex erted to procure the recall of Soffit, Grouchy, Lailemand, Cantor. Savary, and Huhn, to France. An article from Stockholm contradicts in po s itive lerrs the report or Sweden having sold the Island of St. Birtholornew. The States of Hanover have remonstrated against the Decree of the Govern ment, forbiddin:, actions to be brought for the recovery of arrears of interest of the Royal Cham ber. The States declared they wete ready to make good the 2,000,000, of interest thus in ar rear ; which had an instantaneous effect in raising the value of the paper currency, depteciated at fiat, in consegoence of the Governnient Decree. It is also reported at Hanover, that the States have demanded a reduction in the army, from 30,000 to 17,000 men. It is said the Regent is so averse to this measure, that he gives two tl-,irds of tire revenue of the Crown-lands to keep 1. up. The Party, who are so fond of appealing to the conduct of Antt•rica, ought to be told, that the Congresi have .ypointed a Secret Committee to jiinitt:re into the affairs of their National 13ank.— (Ibid ) [The Times.] COURT-MARTlAL.—Yesterday *the Court-Mar tial appointed to try Lient.-Coionel Elay, of the Jtith liasszrs, on three ehat‘ges, preferred against Lim Ctdonel nirray, of the seine regiment, lissembled at the Board of Claims, opposite the Admiralty, Major-Genetal Sir 1%1.

At the conimencement of the proceedings, it was intimated to the Gentlemen %vim attended for the daily press, that the publication of any part of them, until the whOle were concluded, might be Prejudicial to the accused, R 3 they must at first necessarily he ex pante. This intimation, as far as we ourselves are concerned, was unnec(ssary; for we should not have thought of giving a pre mature disclosme of any thing which transpired until the. conclusion of the trial, and even then the case would interest but few of our readers, 4s it lekti chiefly to is settlement of accoulo.

But 1 will forbear all comment, until I " STARTLE " -your rwatiers with a little Owl e i!►struc.ion about the sum which the " circular" motion of this steam-ctigine was c•ilculauetl to raise. The Popish Board, under whose authority the above curious document was issued, reckons, by its accredited statemPnt;" the numeration of the " emphatic" people of Ireland, the PviSts, at tour millioni two hundred thousand ; reckon ing then the subscribing patriots at two-thirds, their tenpeunies would produce an impost of one hundred and sixteen thousand, six hundred He'd sixty-six pounds. 1 will however be cand-id enongh not to take them upon their own deli berate exaggeration, but on a truer and more moderate standard. I will errant !hem only as two-thirds of their molted number, and, of course, at t wo-thirds only if the above contribution. Still, there will remain.a subscription for the use of the Board, of SEVENTY-SEVEN InousANo, SEVEN HUNDRED ,AND SEVENTY-SIX POUNDS, without calculating 4‘ the more wehithy persons, " who, of course, contribute more than tell " pence." Supposing this-, as we well may, a monthly contribution, it has produced the annual sum of NINE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE THOUSAND, THREE HUNDRED AND TWFLVE POUNDS, which for the last tour years, from 1814, it would not be lair, Sir, to include the Ways and Means of 1819, as already raised, makes an aggregate sum of more titan THRBE MILLIONS, SEVRN HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS, collected front the Papists of Ireland by her Con trouling and Managing Board,—Talk of the King's Taxes after thi, ! • Now, Sir, what occasion, what honest and lasrlul occasion, had the Board for such is sum ? I acquit its Members of pocketing this money a mong themselves ; but, after accounting for all their public expenses—their agents' hills for prosecutions and defences, their Counsellor's tees, the fines of their convicted libellers, the sa laries of their seditious Newspapers, the Secret- SCI vice-money of their Threshers and Carders and Ribbonmen, tite ;tomtit its of . their sotfering Patriots and ;be Representatives of their executed Martyrs, nay, their presents to one another of cups and sideboards—a+ tolerable stint will remain ; of unt;ms expended in the purchase of Boroughs, I can upon the Pl.).ald and its Collectors to state the application.-^--SILENCE WILL CONVICT THIO.I. • If you knees, Mr. Editor, the delusions prac tised on the poor ignorant Papists of Ireland, the irritations with which they are perpetually leveled, and the more than despot:c authority with . which their Priests tranq le both on body and soul, you would readily believe the facility of levying even the enormous sum which I have stated. The means too, of compelling the refractory, are more " emphatic" than ever tsx-gatherer or tithe proctor can adopt. To read the name of the re cusant in the public Chapel; was an especial mode of enforcing contributions. His own back, or his wife's bosom, might be carded by some ever getic tomirten:trtfoin'iirin the tbroAt might he •distraincd at the chapel door by the Priests' girdle ; or he - might Ittit;e found it diffi cult to replevin his brains from a t iotts huller. • Protestants !—Look to yourselves. Popery is awake—ye are asleep :—Popery is busy, ye Are idle : Popery is ever doing sontetbing—ye j are never doing any thing. Again I say, that Popery is formidable only as she is neglected :—that she is dangerous bra to the coward, and innoxious to the fearless hand that grasps and crushes her mischief. Mos° %conk persuade me, that she is to be either dreaded or trusted, thus will I answer - - - " But I tell you, my Lard fool, that Out of this nettle, danger, l‘C " Pluck the flower—safety."
