TO Tin . : FitEENIASON c I rIaEAT 13111 AI ANI) IRELAND. Brts7Ttiel , :e—Our bond of union being that Charity, which evinces itself not only in sympa thetic feeling and beneficient action to,vards those of t h e mystic tic, but also in benevolence and ardent desire for the happiness and peace of man kind, it %You'd require but little enpeoce of rea soning to slew, that the recent Bull of the Rotutsit Pontiff, which folminstes proscription against our Order, was a 3 little called for, as it is de spotic. ,Indeed, the ign o rance which could dictate it, would, were we not aware, that some of our Brethren are antler the trammels of Popish slavery, only excite pity from, the. rest of our Craft. in my Mother Lodge a few Catholics are members, —these have, since the issoiog of the Pontiff 8011, been admonished by their (,Mostly Father to come, as they value the salvarloo of their souls, out Crow among us.—Our Tyler, an excellent man, with a numerous family dependent no him for support, is of this persuasion, anti though he admits that he can see nothiog inconsistent- with his duty to God, to the Pope, or to man; in our tenets, yet the mandate of the Priest is itripera live, and the poor matt has, to the general regret of the Lodge, and, I may add, of himself, heel' 01)147,ed to resign his office—the emoluments o f which, were to him no inconsiderable object, and his only crime was that of being a member ot a Socie ty, the basis of which is universal love. Did a Plato, a Soct aces, or a Cicero witness such tyranny among Christians, what orinion would they form of their b o asted charity ? Would they not exclaim, Tell it not in Athens, publish it not in the streets of Rome ? Strange ! shall we find the human mind more debased among Christians than among Pa gans ? Shall we experience less liberty of con-. science atno;tg the followers of Christ than among the disciples of Socrates ? Shall we see the head of l i the Boarish Church issuing Bulls that would-dis grace the children of reason ? Sed ex LOW disce pillneS. These are the people, while they are cla morous for emancipation, that withdraw thetn selves from a society patronized by their Sove reign, and in which neither religious nor political discussion is ever tolerated. But, my Brethren, in this enlightened age, when the tide of opinion has set strongly in favour of toleration, the flood gates should oc strongly barred against insidious, hypocritical, and disguised innovation. The Ca tholics profess to claim liberty of conscience, and equality with other forms of worship ; but from the aspiring principles of their religion, they ac tually aim at a-superiority over Protestants, and independent© of the Throne itself ; and then, in place of meeting without fear in our Lodge, might we not dread being subjected to the horrors of tire Inquisition ? For that equality, unanimity, and universal love which distinguish our Frater nity form too glaring a contrast to the des potism and 'persecuting spirit which the Catholics have ever fostered, for us to escape feeling the iron rod, were they 10 strength to wield it. Ma sonry being one of the firmest pillars in the State, naturally excites their jealousy, and be assured they only want power entirely to suppress our Order.--.- Look at the unfortunate sit nation of our Brethren in unhappy Spain—Wha' Protestant mind is there that does not recoil—What Masonic breast is there that does not feel indignant at the author of their sufferings; their authors are Catholics, and of the same treed with those whose claims 'for Emancipation lately engrossed the attention .of our Legislature, and should their object be ever granted, they will have gained an important point for lording over British and Irish Masons, as much as they do over them in Spain. lint I am aware, there are many in both Houses of Par liament, who know the mystic ties of our Order, and thesis can judge for themselves of the Pontiff's Bull. 1 am, Brethren, your's fraternally, '• A FREE MASON." AGRICULTURE, &c. NIONTIILY REPORT FOR JUNE. Tire IVi►rat crops vary considerably in most districts; those late sown are generally the roost promising ; the early plants, through the mild ness of the winter,.. havingi exhittisted their strength un.easonably,- partieulaily on lands not in good heat. Even tin some of the best sorts, the bloom is more irregular and the ear shorter than might naturally have been expecte:a. The easte.ia and midland counties have the best standing crops ; but from the present ap pearance, the general produce of England is not likely to he abundant. The cool weather will protract the harvest. The Barleys are good, except those in many parts of Norfolk, which have been severely cut by the night frosts in the beginning of the month, as bare the Oats and Coleseeds throughout the ten Coun ties of Cambridge and Lincolnshire. Beans and Pe:ise promise a large crop. The Potatoes have much tecovcred from their frost-nipped state, and though they will come later ittin was looked for, will probably be found to yield generally a full average produce. Swedish Turnips are planting well from the late seasonable rains. Hay Grass and Clovers grow light ; but the abundance of meadow , 1-lay will mike op the deficiency. 'Fite [lop plantations through Kent and Sussex :;re still weak in hive, and stand in need of warmer wea ther. The young Clovers are a general good plant. The Wool market is become brisk at advanced prices. Smithfield has heel) well supplied through the month with mime Beef, Mutton, and Lamb, which commanded good markets. Veal and Pink are cheaper. In Lean Stock, both the Scotch and Welsh drovers have been obliged to submit to !educed prices; but store Sheep, particularly evell bred Southdowns, retain their superior value. Hores of figure for harness or the field, are scarce, numbers having been lately slopped for the studs of tomeign Princes. Good honey Cart Colts fetch► more money; but plain ones, aid ordinary hacks, are scarcely saleable on any terir►s. IMP INTE'LLIGENCZ.

The American Trade Bill was read a third tare and pass e d.

The Lord Justice General (Scotland) Bill was read a SCCOTHI tone, aud committed for to-morrow. The Salt Duties Bill, the Assessed Taxes Com position Bill. the Duke of Wellington's Estate Bill, the. Seamen's Wages Bill, the Navy Prize money Bill, and the Pauper Lunatics Bill, passed through Committees and were reported, without. Amendment. BANK OF IRELAND, &c. The Bank of Ireland Cash Payments Bill passed through n Committee, and was reported without amendment. Oo the Report, the Marquess of LA NS DOW N took the opportunity of observing upon the effect of the law allowing the transfer of funded capital from Ireland to England, and the contraty, it being the opinion of some nelsons that the drain of capital from Ireland, which was caused by it, produced the difference of exchange between that country and this. Ha did not mean to say that such was his opinion, as he bad not sufficiently investigated the subject to have a decided opinion upon it, but it was a question which was undoubt edly highly deserving of attention, and he hoped his Majesty's Ministers would take it into consi deration during the recess. It WAS probable, however, that the operation of the Bills for re storing payments in gold, would tend to equalize the exchange between the two countries. With ► regard to the Bill now before the House, it ap peared to him, that though in enacting in former Bills a peremptory time for the resumption of specie payments, it was right to give six ttiOntlis further tbne, by way of notice, to the Bank of Ireland, than to the Bank of England, yet in the present measure, the same reason did not exist for giving the six months further time to the Bank of • Ireland, the notice given to the Bank of England to Make payments in gold at the different rates ,being equally sufficient for the Bank of Ireland. — He should therefore move to alter the periods in the present Bill, so as to make them correliond exactly with the times mentioned in the Bank of England Cash Payments' Bill. • The Earl of LIVERPOOL, with reference to the state of the exchange between England and Ire land, said, he did not agree in opinion with those who attributed the exchange bring so much against Ireland to the operation of the Act alluded to by the Noble Maiquess : but, undoubtedly, it was a ytestion of groat interest, and it should he taken into consideration during the recess. With re- sleet to the Amendments proposed by tine Noble Marquess, he cotirely concurred in them, there his opinion, no occasion for the six • months additional time given in former Bills, the present measure being altogether on the principle of notice. Ther e might have been, perhaps, some reason for a little additional time ; but lie did not think it worth while to make any difference, and he should therefore support the Amendments pro posed by the Noble Marquess. The Earl of LIMERIC expressed his satisfaction at the declared intention of the Noble Earl (Li verpool) to take into consideration the state of the exchange between Ireland aid this country. The pressure in Ireland had been, for the last three months, extremely heavy ; every one who had mooe.y transactions in Ireland, with reference to remittances to this country, sustaining a loss of from 6 to 7 per cent. The Earl s gf LAUDEBDALR contended, that, un der the words of the Bill, though the Bank of Ireland could not pay less than 60 oz. of gold, yet; that if a person took, for instance, 2801. the Bank mast pay, not only 60 oz. of gold, value, at 41. 1 5'2431. but also the odd money, in the same way. -'The Batik of England Cash Payments' Bill was also worded in the same way. Earl of LIVERPOOL said, the intention was, in each case, that payments should only be made in stamped ingots of 60 oz. and, in his opi nion, both Bills contained enactments to but effect. The Earl of LAUniirsDAL3 repeated his objec tion to tine wording of the Bill. Lord REDEsDALts pointed out a clause, eflacting that payments should only he made in stattipvl iro:ots nit 60 oz. a nd which did away the objection of the Noble The Earl of LAUDERDALE admitted, that the chose alluded to by the Noble and Learned Lord parity removed his objection ; but still he thought the Bill (night to be worded so us to leave no doubt as to its real meaning. Lord REDe S DAL R admitted that the Bill might have been !pore clearly worded ; but still con tended, that tine clause he had pointed out reme died tine defect which the Noble Earl had sup- I posed to exist. The Matquess of LhssnowNr. proposed his Amendmeots, alteting the periods for the different payments to the times enacted in the B o k of England Cash Payments' Bill ; which were all creed to. INtiOLVENT DEBTORS' BILL. Lori A “CF, LAND, CD InOVIDV , the SCVCIT(i read ing of the Insolvent Delilotb .

After the ec i,!, zoce ,alien before 11.0 C-imulir tee of tic House of Commons, lie thought their Lordships t%-ould agree that the present Act ought no to exis;„ There were, however, in the Bill whit h he no - 0; proposed to their consider rtion some clitists %% hick required the most deliberate attention, and on which he hoped the Noble and Learned Lord (Chancellor) Would afford hint his R3".:3(1111CK in the Committee. Ilk Tiordship then noticed the clause atri!cting property held in reversion and remaiitder, is involving principles which would justify him in moving for its omission. lie also objected to the rhuse which provided tor the con. filement of all dvi)tt , rs within the walls of the pri son it impracticable. The Earl of Limr.nie complained, that a Dill ' of such ImpottaoCe should have been introduced kit() that House at so late a period (if the Session., 'Flue Act by which the old law was super.leded, had already produced great mischief in the ewin try with which ht.: %CRS connected, and the mea sure before the Hot;se exposed every one of its Members, and every Gentleman of the United Kingdom, to the disadvantage of the Bankrupt Ltiws, lie thought they should pause before they a4reed to break down the fences by which the landed properly of the country was surrountle.d, for the purpose of guarding against a few in stances of abuse. But he would reserve the tletitil of his objections until the Bill passed into Coin mince. The LORD CHANcIII.t.oR thought it but a just refpect to the Noble Lord who hod brolit for ward the motion, to apprize him at that moment, that in consequence of the number and impor tance of the judicial duties which he hat to per form herole the Session closed, he could not pay attention to the enactments of the present Bill, which propo , ;ed so great an alteration in the existing laws. The Earl of DARNLEY trusted, that some remedy might be provided it) future, either by an earlier meeting of the Session, or by sonic other course, to prevent the great accumulation of important business in that house at so late a period. The Earl of LwngenALE made some observa tions to :he same effect, and thought that, tinder all the circumstances, tlie most prudent course in the present instance would be to continue the existing law for another year, by whip h means they would have time to consider the alte; . atioa now proposed. Lord AUCKLAND regretted that the Noble ant Learned Lotd could not give his attention to the Bill, at the same rime that he accriesced fully its tire reasona he had assigned for declining 0) d.► so. 'Elie best way, as appeared to him, of getting till .of the difficulty in which the House was placed, would he to limit the duration of the Bill to one year, instead of five. The Bill was then read a second time, and or. tiered to be committed. BARNSTAPLE BRIBERY BILL. The Earl of CARNAItVoN culled the attention 0€ their Lordships to the conduct of three of the wit nesses who ►were examined on a former day, anti had given evidence contradictory to that which they had previously sworn to before the Commit tee of the House of Commons. Painful as the task was to him, he telt it to be his duty to brin4 the subject before the House. It w.ls necessary for that purpose that they should be in possession of the evidence taken in the Committee, and therefore be shollid move, with iLe perilliSSlOO of ther Lordships, that a message should he sent to the House of Commons, requesting the attend ance of their Clertt, or short-band writer, to state that evidence at the liar. The Loan CHANCeLLOtt concurred with the Noble Earl i❑ thinking that the offence was oue which ought not to be passed o , er, and it wag right to convince the persoas who had committed such an offence, that the law was not too short to reach them. The message was, as we understood, ordered to be sent to the Commons. Counsel and evidence were then called in, and the examination of ivitneses proceeded until eight o'clock, when the further bearing wa postponed till to-mot row.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at a quarter past two o'clock. Mr. Hum?. stated, that lie did not intend ttb bring forward any me sure this Session relative ;o the Combination Acts, on account of the late period of the Session, which would not allow time for the subject to be duly discussed. It was . his intention early in the next Session to twit% the subject before the House. GRANWOUND BRIBERY BILL. On the motion of Lord JOHN 1115AELL: the Conlmittee on the Gra wound llrihrry Indict= Lucius Was resumed, and proceeded to exarniue witnesses. The ' , Solicitor of Mr. Teed (Mr. Alexander Lamb) was examined. In reply to the questions proposed to him, he stated to the House that Ima Iraq already declined giving evidence as to tLe matters in which he had acted as solicitor or agent, and he now again submitted to the Howe that he was bound nut to disclose the secrets of his employ ers, and not to stare what had come to his knowledge in his protessional character. The witness was then ordered to withdraw, and some conegraation took place on the subject,. Mr. IVYNtie contended, that the witness was bound to answer the questionS,put to him, and that the reason which lie had stated was not, io a case of this kind, sufficient to justify his refusal. Mr. NVlLLytms e.xpresscd a similar opinion, and thought tile House entitled to all the information (it which the witness was possev.ed. Mr. Pitimanse could not agree to the proposi tion that ~tiy inqn bound to criminate himself or his accomplices. lie protested against such a doctrine. WYNNE expressed some astonishment that ;N. lemher who had only sat in the House fog one Session shoold I.:,)te,t, as the I-lon.
