Yo u remark, my Lord, that " every Protestant must, if kl reflects, feel the horror of being deprived the liberty of r ing his God as he has been taught, and as he feels it hi s ZY to do." In this sentiment I cordially agree with you, 4 1 I only claim for the Catholic, the freedom I love, and liberty I enjoy.

BROTHER FREEHOLDERS-Much has been written on both sides of this momentous question, tending only to awaken the passions, and not addressed to the understand ing. I repent this deeply, for if ever a question required cool deliberate judgment, this 'is one. With this view, therefore, I submit for your consideration th e following passage from Blackstone, whose opinion and authority as a •lawyer few are hardy enough to dispute.' It follows imme diately after giving a summary of the penalties that had been imposed upon the Catholics during various reigns, and I do hope it may have some weight with those whose minds are not decidedly warped by deep-rooted prejudice, or led astray by interested motives " For they are rather to be accounted for from their history, and the urgency of the times which produced them, than to be approved of (upon a cool review) as a standing system of law."—"But if a time should ever arrive, and perhaps it is not very distant, when all fears of a Pretender shall have vanished, and the power and influence of the Pope shall become feeble, ridiculous, and despicable, not only in England, but in every Kingdom of Europe, it pro bably would not be then amiss to review and soften these rigorous edicts ; at least till the Civil Principles of the Roman Catholics called again upon the Legislature to renew them : for it ought not to be left in the breast of every Merciless bigot to drag down the vengeance of these occa•• sional laws upon inoffensive, though mistaken subjects ; its opposition' to the ancient inclinations of the Civil Magis trate, and to the destruction of every principle of toleration and Religious Liberty."—Book IV. P.. 57 and 58. Now, let me ask you, is not the time come which this great lawyer alludes to with almost a prophetic spirit?— Pretender there is none—and I think there are few who will now dispute that the influence of the Pope has become "feeble, ridiculous, and despicable" in a great part of Europe. Let me then intreat you to couple this extract with -the reilectiou that -the wisest and most talented men of all parties have been in favour of Emancipation—that a majority of the House of Commons has several timers de cided to take the just clainss of the Catholics into consi deration—that there is every possible chance of Emanci pation producing the • most happy result,—and no possi bility, as I have before proved, of its producing any danger,—and then , say whether it is not better to leave the question to the cool and cairn consideration of Parliament, uninfluenced 'by violent opinions on either vide, than to attempt to dictate the line of conduct Ministers ought to pursue—anti thus make this free, happy, and quiet County stand foremost in the ranks of Bi gotry and Intolerance—thereby creating party prejudices which can only lead to unkind feelings, if not bitter ani mosities. When we see the lofty tone taken by the Agitators of the measure in this county, it becomes almost impossible to prevent its descending from a great national question, to one ofviolent party feeling. No man can re gret this more than I do ; but the candid person must say that the fault does not lie with the " Liberals," but with those who would appear to cover the weakness of their ar gument by the uncoutteous terms and intemperate language they have addressed to their opponents. Hoping this spirit will be subdued at the Meeting on the 24th, and that though we differ in opinion, we may do so as gentlemen, I have the honour to remain, brother Free holders, your "Liberal " friend and well wisher, Masted, Oct. 18. JOHN MAXWELL TYLDEN. TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY. BE UPON YOUR GUARD ! You are culled upon to attend a Meeting on the 24th, as the Protestant Religion is in danger froM the conduct of the Roman Catholic Association. -• THIS IS TRUE : The Rothan Catholics have made constant attacks upon the Protestant Constitution, and now demand to be ad mitted into Parliament, • TO MAKE LAWS FOR AND SUBVERT IT. ADDRESS TO THE MEN ON KENT. (From the Kent Ileietid,Oet. 23.) MEN or KENT ! • To-morrow will decide the grand question. To-morrow will be shown, whether your county is to take the lead in the cause of enlightenment and liberality, or to become in famous as the strong-hold of bigotry, ignorance, and persecution. The eyes not only of England, but of all Europe are fixed upon the proceedings of this day ; the character not alone of your native county, but of your beloved England, will be estimated according to the event of your deliberations. It will then be seen whether that Liberty, which has been our boast for ages, is merely a sound, a shade, a selfish delusion ; or a principle im planted is our hearts, ready to kindle into active benevo lenw, and eager to communicate its blessings to all who appeal to its holy name. The opportunity now presents itself for the Men of Kent to prove themselves worthy of the high rank they have ever been allotted as champions of freedom, as spirited and intelligent men, not to be awed by threats, intimidated by alarms, nor duped by artifice. This opportunity, the enemies of all liberty have unwit tingly given you ; you will not omit to profit by it—to turn back on them their scheme of tyranny—to hold up to them The mirror reflecting their own enormous moral deformity...and scattering them in disgrace from the field, where they had hoped to sacrifice your good name at the shrine of their sordid interests and rancourous preju dices ;—scattering them, abashed at the exposure, mor tified at their failure, and confounded for ever at their utter defeat. Men of Kent !—This will he a lesson they can never forget—this will be a humiliation from which they never can recover. If any other argument than the general good were needed to animate your exertions, it would be that this evidence of your strength and of your will, must deli ver the county from that haughty domination which these overbearing Aristocrats have so long sought to impose over it. This will terminate their prospects of oppression—this will reduce their pretensions to the narrow limits of their actual importance—this will t eac h th em , th a t th oug h m i g h ty in their own halls, formidable to their dependsnts, uncon trouled in their sway over poachers and publicans, the dread of the villagers, and the wonder of charity-children;—they are contemptible in the eyes of the country at large, pitied for their ignorance, hated for their pride, laughed at for their self-importance, set at nought, baffled, and de feated, when they dare to summon independent men to meet them in the open field of political discussion. They may continue to be great at Quarter Sessions, omnipotent at Rent-dinners, uuquestioned at Bible Meetings,• dogmatic in the Justice-room, oracular in a Sunday-school ;--but before the assembled county, before freemen,—their equals in all personal and mental qualifications,—th e y must lord it no longer :—they must be content there to meet faces which it is in vain to frown on, brows they Can not daunt, hearts they cannot awe, and arguments they cannot answer. They have thrown themselves arro gantly into one scale ; and the rest of the county u ill fill the other,--thanking them for the display of an insolent aristocracy, fairly weighed, utterly found wanting, and kicking the beam in the great balance of public opinion.— Men of Kent! in defeating these your peculiar,enernies, it has happened, from the circumstances of the times and their own presumption, that you will be defeating the great conspiracy which has been formed against the liberties of all British subjects, against the independence of Parlia ment, against the welfare, peace, and happiness of the whole kingdom. The refusal of political' rights to a large class of your countrymen—for are not the Irish as well as the English Catholics, your countrymen ?—which, origi nating in far distant and totally different times, has been continued by the partisans of the English Church to secure their own power and profit, has, at last, as might naturally be expected, as ought t o b e th e case with men conscious of sufferin g injustice., produced a feeling of irri tation and discontent almost amounting to actual insur rection. The Catholics, whose patient loyalty has been crue lly trifled with, worn out by repeated insults, by the perpetual rejection of their petitions for equal rights, as= sunie an attitude which their wealth, their respectability, their numbers, renders formidable. Their prayer, backed by the recommendation of the far greater part of the independent and intelligent Protestants, is listened to by Government. That Government is supposed to be about accomplishing an act of tardy justice, if not from a sense of the iniquity of persecution, yet from the obvious policy of preventing t llt ea reffusion of blood, preserving Great Brit a i n from mei civil v dismemberment, and perhaps ultimately, foreign subjugation. The monopolizers of " all good things" under the present system, desperate at even a dis tant prospect.of being compelled to relinquish and partici pate some of their advantages, imperiously demand of Ali nisters that no conciliation shall be effected, that blood shall Row in torrents rather than Reform, of which Emancipa tion is a p ar t,, s h ou ld ta k e pla c e. The Brunswick Cl u b s assemble to overawe the King, dictate to Parliament, and con troti I - the people. Shall they be endured ? You, Men o f Kent, to-morrow stall deride this ! An attempt will be made to inflame your passions by an appeal to your religious feelings. Yen will be told that Catholicism in all the horrors of past and barbarous ages, Will, by your granting concessions to your persecuted bre thren, return to torture with " tire and faggot" all who dissent from the Romish Ritual. Laugh to scorn the hy pocritical pretence! Throw back in the teeth of the as serters of this obsolate calumny, the bitter truth that the country in which religions, persecution now reigns —i s a Protestant country ! That that country is Great Britain ! Great Britain which is hereby stigmatised by the while world as the self-styled free domain, where alone a third part of the population is enslaved, persecuted, and op. pressed, for its religious opinions. Tell them that in Ca tholic FranCe, Protestant and Romanist are upon an equality —live in civic peace—and are without distinction admitted to the highest offices of the State in every branch of its service. Tell them that England no longer shall submit to be outdone in a generous enlightenment by its neigh bour—that its rival shall no longer triumph in its superior liberality—in its truer Christian spirit ! MEN or KENT—You have, for years, weighed every argument that can be furnished by either party. y ou know, without further elaboration of the subject, that the question is resolved, in these times, into a choice between freedom and oppression. You know that Emancipation means equal civil rights to all good subjects; that it means peace and tranquillity among your countrymen,. and security to the whole nation ;—you know that the cry of " No Popery" means, the inviolability of abuses, the security of the Tithe System, the monopoly of power by the Tory faction, the stifling of Liberty, the hazard of bloodshed, the danger of civil war, and of the perpetration of all kinds of horrors end atrocities ! You have only to choose between. You have long listened to the discussion ;—to-morrow you go to give your vote for one of these alternatives. Justice, humanity, policy, plead for the first ; bigotry, selfishness, ignorance, and ferocity, will strive to entrap you into the latter ;—but it will be in vain. You have too much dis cernment, too much benevolence, too ardent a love of liberty, too firm a devotion to the. real interests of your native land to sanction by your decision to-morrow any thing which will abridge the liberties of British subjects and make these fair realms one hideous scene of slaughter. You will, :by your tri►mtpbant opposition to the " Bruns wick conspirators" vindicate the honour of your country, win the gratitude of Ireland for ever, and secure the ad miration of the whole world.—" On to Victory !" " FAIR PLAY IS A JEWEL." Some atrociously malignant handbills and songs hav ing been recently published, with a view to prejudice and inflame the minds of the unthinking—to libel honourable ►nen—and to injure a cause which is the cause of every lover of the Protestant Constitution, I call on the Men of Kent to treat the dastardly libellers with the contempt they deserve. It is attempted to persuade the people of this County, that the •Protestants are eager to shed the blood of their Catholic fellow-subjects. The imp u t a ti on i s f a l se , and they who gave birth and circulation to it know it to be false; but at the present moment, they feel they have no chance of bringing Catholics into Parliament, but by taking the narrow and crooked path of dishonourable misrepresen tation. Some observations made by Sir J. W. H. Brydges and Mr. Wells, at a late public meeting, have been shamelessly tortured into a meaning they never were intended to con vey, and more particularly have the slanderers endeavoured to excite a popular feeling tTainst Mr. Wells, one of the worthy Representatives of Maidstone. Every man who is personally acquainted with that gentleman knows that there breathes not a man more desirous to preserve the tranquil lity of the country. His station la life—his pursuits—his habits—and his connexions all bear unanswerable testimony against the charge that he is desirous of exciting to civil commotion. In the warmth of a Public Meeting, when adverting to the sanguinary language of Irish Demagogues, whose con • ataut theme is the progmstication cr threat that a deadly and sanguinary struggle mutt decide the present unhappy dissensions, Mr. Wells used expressions, which perhaps a more wily politician, might have avoided, but where is the true Englishman who does not, to the fullest extent, ap prove of the sentiment which it is evident Mr. Wells in tended to express. His meaning was (and. they who misrepresented him know it was so) that if the Catho lics were to put their threats into execution—if they were to attempt the extermination of theia opponents, if they were to appeal to the sword—threats of which, for ever and for aye, are thundered in the ears of the Protestants, he (Mr. Wells) though a man ad.anced in years—he though the father of children—he though possessing a great pecuniary interest in the peace of the country—would hazard his personal safety—his domestic happiness—his property— and even his life—in defence of the Protestant Constitu tion. This was the true meaning of the Hon. Gentle man's words, and I feel Convinced that all honourable and respectable men on either side will do him justice in this respect, however it may suit the dark designing plans of a few unprincipled persons to hold up him and others as objects for public odium. I make this appeal to the liberality and candour of the Men of Kent, with the earnest desire of doing justice to a worthy and most. estimable character, but at the @ante tune, one of my principal objects is to remove from the Protes tants generally the imputation so fal s ely and so foully cast upon them. I wish to open the eyes of the Alen of Kent to the insidious endeavour now making to raise the cry of popular clamour against a body of men whose station-- character—and evident interest present the strongest gua rantees for the uprightness of their intentions, and their desire to preserve the tranquillity of the country. Men of Kent, act fairly and honourably. Act upon the old and honest maxim that " Fair Play is a Jewel." Do not, while advocating what you consider the cause of Justice, forget what is due to individuals. The laurel of Victory is lovely to the eye and gladdening to the heart of him who fairly wins and wears it, but it withers on the brow, and is only a reproach and a disgrace when purchased at the expence of justice, of honour, or of truth.

L ETON, THURSDAY EVENlNG.—Yesterday his Majesty again came down to dinner,• and to-day the answer given by his attendants to all inquiries is, that his Majesty's health is rapidly improving. He was so much better yesterday that orders were given to have the phaetons in readiness for a drive to-day, and there is no doubt they woldd have been used for that purpose had the weather permitted ; but we have had very heavy rain here all day. I have just learned that the Earl and Countess of Harcourt, Lord Lowther, and Mr. Commissioner Adams, dined .with his Majesty yesterday, and he did not retire from table till ten o'clock ; so that it would seem that the Royal health is such that the Quidnuncs may make themselves perfectly easy at present. The young Queen of PonTuGAL, attended by Lord CLINTON, General SALDANIIA, and the Ladies of her suite, isited Westminster-abbey yesterday morning, and was conducted over that venerable pile by some of the Prebends. Her MAJESTY then proceeded to the ilouse of Lords, where she was received by Sir T. Tyawrirrr, Usher of the Black Rod, who attended the QUEEN and her suite during her stay. Her MAJESTY and suite went in the afternoon to the Argyll Reorns, and witnessed the per formance of the comic burletta of Harlequin, judge and Client, and the battle of Algiers, at the Theatre du Petit Lazary, under the management of Messrs. MA YFEY. At the performance no person was admitted excepting those of her MAJESTY's suite. We understand that the forthcoming Novel of , 4 Zillah, a Tale of i the Holy City," will possess some share of interest for classical as well as religious readers, since the author travels over the ground between Brundu. shun and Rome, which forms the subject of Iloaices Fifth Satire, and has introduced that Poet, his friend Valtom, and several of their Roman contemporaries, into his work.

Mr. Cobbett having, a fortnight age, intimated in his Register, that he would feel happy to meet such friends as might wish to join him at dinner, at Maidstone, on the dry before the Meeting on Penenden Heath, upwards of fifty respectable farmers sat flown to a plain substantial dinner of roast beef and plum-pudding. Immediately after dinner several farmers, who had been unable to attend earlier, entered, and in a few minutes the room was quite crowded. The CuArtimax (Mr. Russell, a hop-merchant, at Maidstone) proposed, " The King," with three times three. A Gentleman requested a few moments' delay, until glassyS could be procured. The C►IAIRMAN- -" Sir, I assure you I speak feelingly upon this occasion ; the King is very ill, and the sooner we drink his health the better—(A laugh) —perhaps three hearty cheers may arouse his Majesty." The toast was then drunk with three times three.. The CreantatanGentlemen, this is Liberty-hall— ' every man calls for what he chooses. I beg to propose— ,,c The People—the source ofa d ll in le a gi s t i i io na r a t t t e im p e o ;e er r i— m was filled (Applause.) . S m4n ( ki aith smoke; n y gherecmn Mr. commenced, and Cobbett used a cigar. The CHAIRMAN-Gentlemen, as we are. all men of feeling, I beg leave to propose—" The Maids of Kent"— (The toast was drunk, the whole people standing up, with loud applause.) The CHAIRMAN-Gentlemen, in rising to propose the toast with which I am about to conclude, I am sure you will anticipate the gentleman in whose favour it is.directed. To pay that gentleman too high a compliment as to his general information, is not in my power. He is a man who has boldly and fearlessly spoken the whole truth, and no thing but the truth. Let us, I say, drink his health with three times three, and I am sure that we shall with plea sure hear, mark, and inwardly digest what he has to say to us.—(Cries of " Name, name.") I propose " the health of Mr. William Cobbett, with three tithes three."—(Loud cheers, and dapping of bands." Mr. ConanTr got upon one of the tables, and was greeted with loud cheering. In signifying his intention of dining with the farmers . of Kent this day, his object was to com municate to them some information respecting the plant of Tahoe Corn, and to demonatrate its usefulness ; but; since he bad given that notice, his mind became co filled with the importance of their County business, that great as was, in his opinion, the value- of Indian Corn.--valuable, as it would be, in giving in one crop equal to two of wheat ; great too in supplanting that accursed and degraded root —the potato ; still, he reflected, of what use would be this improvement unless the people could be sure of ob taining the real advantages which must necessarily arise from it. Of what use then would be Indian Corn, as long as the Parson could lock over the wall and see what the crop was- to help himself to a share of What he never con tributed to produce. (Hear, hear, hear.) Unless this state of things could be altered, of what use would be agri cultural improvements ? Of what use would be Catholic Emancipation ? The people cared not for these things ; all they wanted was the privilege of enjoying the produce of their own industry.' (Hear, hear, hear.) All the farmer wanted wag, not to be obliged to bend his knee and doff his hat to the Aristocracy in the manner which How prevailed—to be slaves, while they worked and laboured like men. (Applause.) If any farmer of England wished to endure this, he deserved it. ( Hear, hear.) He begged to impress upon them, that at this very hour the eyes of the people of England were fixed upon the people of Kent, and they were bound to show themselves worthy of this great example. The question of Catholic Emancipation was a bugbear at this moment. The people of Ireland were indeed wretched, the most wretched on the face of the earth—talk of slaves, talk of negroes, none were there like the unhappy Irish. The men of Ireland were looking, not at the parties in the state, not at their Associ ation, not at their lawyers —no, they were looking with the greatest earnestness at what the people of England would do at this crisis. It was in vain to expect relief from any Lord Lieutenant, or any party, under their present system—the Irish could have ne hope from any quarter except from the people of England,-(Hear, hear)—and England, as he said before, at this moment looked to Kent. (Applauee.)—He implored them then to look well to the proceedings of to-morrow, and he would sketch to them what those would be. The High Sheriff would propose what he would call the question—he would recommend a petition to Parliament, to enact such measures as were best adapted for the maintenance of Church and State, as by law established. The Brunswickers would of course pot their own construction on Church and State—in their haughty bosoms they would think one way, but the body of freeholders might think another. What would the other party, the Whigs, do ? Why, they would propose to do nothing at all.—(A laugh.)—But when the people assembled would they consent to do nothing at all ? Would they separate so foolishly ? Np, no—(Cries of "no no.") Catholic ,Emancipation were two words, only intended to give the Catholic Aristocracy the same share which the other party had in the good things of the State—:it was for roguery only—but the people meant better, and would not be duped by such acts—they would do their duty, and, he hoped, do it well. In 1825 a Bill was introduced into the House of Commons, for the purpose of passing what was called the Catholic Question. But there were two things to be done ; first, the forty shilling freeholders were to be disfranchised ; and, secondly, a far mote impudent proposition—the people of England were to be taxed, in order to pay the Clergy of that religion, which these Brunswickers now called damnable and idolatrous. —(Hear, hear, hear.)—This was an affront, the like of which had never before been attempted to be cast on the people of England. But the people did resist it ; and he firmly believed, for it was vain to deny, that the abomi nable thing was put an end to by his pen and the West minster Meeting - convened by Mr. Hunt.—(Applause.)— The people of Kent did not want Catholic Emancipation, they wanted a general Emancipation, and they would have it, too, if they persevered. They would to-morrow be told with great solemnity, that it was necessary to the pre servation of the Constitution to exclude the Roman Ca tholics from its blessings. Every argument would be used, not forgetting Smithfield; and the faggots, and the Pope, would all be resorted to for the purpose of inducing them to petition Parliament on the subject ; they would be told, on the other hand, that' Catholic Emancipation was neces sary to the tranquillity, and peace, end good government in Ireland. But let them not rely on either one side or the other ; they were hypocrites on both sides. The peo ple did not wish to be relieved from the poor Late, as no man wished to see his pour neighbour starved ; but surely it was not too much, while they paid this rate, to call upon Parliament to take from the Clergy a portion of that revenue which had been mainly granted for the sup port of the poor ? This was a part of what he intended to call upon the meeting to do to-morrow.—(Applause.) If a portion of that revenue were still to be applied by the Clergy to its proper use, he, as a true son of the Church, would not wish to take any of it from them, enormous as it was. What would they think, when told that the four hundred and twenty-seven parishes in this county were in the. possession of one hundred and ninety-six Parsons, making about three livings to each individual? Pty the alterations which he Would propose to make in the Church property, the Church itself would be rendered more se cure—the working Clergy would be materially benefited, and the pockets of the people relieved from their present continual drains. But this could not be done without a reform in the House of Commons, and, therefore, he meant to include the question of Parliamentary Reform in his Petition to-morrow. Would the Meeting believe that we bad fourteen or fifteen Foreign Ministers ? They were called Ambassadors and he knew not what—and well sop ported with thumping salaries. But this was not all : we had, in additiou, 42 Ambasiadors out of employ, and these also we were obliged to pay—and that pretty highly too.— He might be considered a fool, or a rash man, in making the statement he was about to make ; but it was neverthe less true, that we paid more money to our Foreign Minis ters than the whole civilized world besides.—(Cries of shame, shame.) They might well cry " Shame !" b u t what would they think when they were told that we had twenty thousand commissioned officers in our army ; that was to say, about one commis sioned officer for every four private men. Besides these, there were both corporals and see jeants to take care of the men- Who, then, could venture to say, that our Government was not a careful Government—(A laugh)? —fie should like to see the whole of those officers and moo drawn out upon a plain (it would be no small plain that would hold them) ; there would be one Commander tucked in between every four men. We had 214 Field-_ Marshals and General Officers, to an army of less than 100,0 0 0 men, Mahing one General to . about every 168 ineti. Why, then, should this country be afraid of going to war? With such an army, so officered, we could beat the devil. Then we had also the enormous expellee of our navy to provide for; we had two Admirals for every ship of the line, and one Admiral for every 140 men. We had also (omitting the Midshipmen, for he would leave them out altogether) one Corniniasioned Naval Officer for every five sailors; we had likewise to pay naval half-pay and pensions to a great moldier of Clergymen of the Esta blished Clotreh—men who, after having beaten the Ja cobins and Atheists of France, came to give us the addle tional benefit of preaching to us.—(A laugh.)—lt was a, well-known fact, that immediately after the war, from 4 to 500 Naval Officers had entered the Church, and had been provided with livings. One of these was the brother of Lord Abergavestuy, who became the rector of a parish in Norfolk, at the same time that he ettjv s his half-pay as Captain of Dragoons. There was anoth er individual who held two or three livings together, arl. also enjoyed the half-pay of a Colonel. Thus it was that they dragged the money out of the pockets of the people ; there was no fear of the money burning their pockets, for it was not left there even long enough to get warm.—(A laugh.)— Then came the enormous abuses of the Church of Ireland, where in many instances one individual had eight or nine livings, some of which he never saw ; in many parish there was no church at all ; and in them there was, of course, n o residentto tend the flock, n shear it.—..(Laughter.)—Was it not, then, the interest of the people of Ireland that th e Meeting to-morrow should L s ; the tha shearer te athere.re r theyCo come ,o mhad and not shepherd the propose et revision of that Church property ? This it was that the Aristocracy feared would be dope; they were ap prehensive that he, and those who thought with him, would tell the people the truth—the whole truth—to prevent which they would call upon therm to do nothing—they would request them not to disturb the peace of the county. But how, be asked, could it disturb the peace of the county to have the freeholders meet together and talk about their affairs? The affairs of Ireland were in a desperate state— the system could not go on as it existed at present : the people in Ireland had no arms to resist-..nor did he wish that they should resist, as a body, by force of arms ; but they did resist here and there, and took sunamary revenee upon those whom they conside re d as th e i r o pp ressors: and ' for doing so they were in this country called wild Irish ! Egad they had enough to make them wild.; we should be wild too if our last potato was taken from us by the tithe proctor, and . no. poor rate to resort to; we should then hear as much about wild English as we (IN about wild Irish. What would this meeting think when they heard that no less than fifteen millions of money was paid annually to the army and navy, and to spies and devils of all sorts, in order to support the system at present existing in Ireland? He called upon the people of this country to look to the expence to which they were put to support that system. Was there ever any thing in this world equal to what took place in 1822—a year of such famine and distress, that persons were detected stealing sea-weed, in order, by eat ing it, to keep themselves from total starvation ? Accord ing to the Roman Catholic religion, there Was a ritual or benediction by the priest before death, which they consi dered requisite to salvation ; and would the meeting be lieve that whole parishes Lad received this last benediction preparatory to that dreadful death which hourly stared them in the face.—(Cries of " Shame l" , )—It was a well attested fact, that upwards of 22,000 poisons perished from hunger on that occasion. A Person near the door, whose name we understood to be Ancnew, called upon Mr. Cobbett to State whether he asserted that as a fact.—[Here a scene of noise and tumult took place, which it would be difficult to deseribe.] - Mr. Column. told the individual to wait till he had con cluded, and then to come forward and answer him.—[The noise still continued, and the Chairman rose to order. " Mr. Cobbett ought to be heard out, and he would then hear any -gentleman is reply to bias.".] Mr. Coaaerr proceeded—He repeated his assertion that nothing so horrible as the suffering of that period was ever heard of before. The statements were not his—he took them front returns made in the House of Commons, and had no doubt of their correctness. Since then the burdens of the people had increased ten-fold, and would continue to increase till a reform in Parliament took place. They would not obtain that to-morrow ; but the proceedings -ot the meeting would have a great effect. The country had its eyes on the country, and was anxiously watching for what would take place on Penenden heath ; therefitre it was that the Aristocracy were anxious that they should meet with out doing any thing ; indeed many Noblemen were already sorry that the meeting had been convened ; and it had only been done because they thought they were sure of cat tying every thing their own way in the county. It was useless for them to attempt to call together the counties near Lon don—Kent, Hertfordshire, Surrey, would not do. But, said they, Maidstone is last a convenient distance. —(Hear. ) —But the Duke of Newcastle talks of his God, and that God would desert them, if they deserted him. Whose God was it he alluded to? Why, of course, the God that gave his mother a pension of 1,0001. a-year, whose second hus band had also a fine annuitywhose relation, Mr. Fynes Clinton, had noble pickings in the Church—whose relation, Sir Harry Clinton, lately went upon the famous expedition to Portugal—he the way, the son of the man who lost Ame rica to England. Here Mr. Cobbett read over the long list of dependants upon the Newcastle family, their places and pensions, and the manner in which they were fed out of the public purse, in the whale tribe of all their relations, male and female. Some of them having what is called the Cure of Souls at Westminster and Northamptonshire at the same time. What glorious proof of the omnipresence of these pious folks !—(Laughter.)—This is the godhead of the Duke of Newcastle; and what it would be if such a god ever deserted hini—but desert hint he would, if the people of England performed their duty. Mr. Cobbett concluded by thanking the company, and sat down amidst great ap- I plause. Mr. Cobbett withdrew at eight o'clock, and the company sat for an hour or two in the enjoyment of much harmony. BANK OF ENGLAND. Several errors have been pointed out in the estimate given by a correspondent of the receipts and expenditure of the Bank of England, the principal of which relates to the supposed fund of undivided profits, which was stated at 11,000,0001. This, we are assured, is not more than 3,000,0001. The amount of Exchequer Bills en which interest is received from the Government is said to be esti mated far too high, the circumstance haring been over looked that this is a fluctuating account between the Bank and the Government, increasing with the payment of the dividends, and diminishing as the receipts for taxes come in from the Exchequer and the Treasury. We present another estimate, conceived to be nearer the truth than that given on Wednesday, though there is no material differ ence in the results :—.. Dividend on Bank capital, 14,608,500/., at S per cent. ExpenEes 275,000 £1,443,680 Cr. 3 per Cent. upon 14,686,800/. lent to Go- vernrnent 440,604 4. per Cent, upon 1,400,000/. lent on Mort gage 56,000 3 per Cent. upon 6,000,000/. of Exchequer Bills 3 per Cent. upon average of advance upon the Consolidated Fund,—say 8,500,000/ 105,000 4 per Cent. upon average Discount, say 1,000,0001.

Of the former gentleman we cannot speak in favourable terms: he wants the polished ease of the finished voluptuous hypocrite. He is too uneasy, two sensi tive in his cant; it sits upon him as if it were his no viciate. Diaii.Tos is the only Dr. Cantwell that we can afford to recognise : he is the true representative of the good old- quiet school of acting—the very in carnation of cant and cunning. Miss ELLEN Charlotte was spirited. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Mr. KEAN'S Sir Giles Over-reach attracted, as a matter. of course, a full house last night. It was distinguished by his usual fidelity to the strong points of character; and by more than his usual attention to its minuter traits; as also by his strict correctness, as far as the text was concerned. Need we add, that it received the hearty applause of the audience. Mr. KEMBLE'S Well-born (how the name suits him, and how much it promises) was admirable. We eau conceive nothing finer. Mr. MLADows made a re spectable Marrall. After the play, Miss BYFIELD made her second appearance as Blanche 211ac4ay. It was an interesting performance SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSA LL'S. Nothing was talked of yesterday for the Derby but Prince Eugene and the King's colt; the fo rmer i s represented as one•of the fin es t colts seen in the North for many .years, an his patty 'seems. to be gaining strength ; the other was in some request. From the demonstration made we ex pect that Mr. Nowell's Rosanne colt will - soon come into the betting. Mr. Payne's Quadrille filly improves for tl.e Oaks : she is one of the finest made two-year-olds now at Newmarket. It seems strange that while Fanny, who ran a dead heat with Green Mantle, is fifth in toe Oaks' bett ing, the Canvas colt, who, in the same race, bad no place, should have a strong party in the Derby odds at only 1: - ) to 1. The match between his Majesty's mare Fleur dr Lis and Belzoni excifies considerable interest ; the mare is the favourite; it will be run next Monday.
