To pay any thing like their expenses up and down, each of them must earn 101. a day, which gives an amount of 100,0001. per annum spent in stage-coach travelling on that one road, the best, and most profitable, perhaps, for its length, in England. LEEDS BRUNSWICK MEETING. On Monday last a Meeting, for the purpose of forming a Brunswick Association, was held in one of the rooms of the Music-Hall, at Leeds. Thi s was not a general meeting of the inhabitants, to con sider the propriety of forming any such club, but of a number of indivi'lnuk, who had already deter mined that a Brunswick- Club should be established. At Leeds, therefore, it excited little interest beyond that party who were instrumental in calling it. The numbers in attendance at the opening of the business were, we should think, about. 150, but before its conclusion there were between 200 and 300 pr e _ sent. Some of the requisitionists stated the numbers at from 300 to 400, but that we are certain • was a mistake. At no time during the meeting were the numbers present greater than those we have men tioned, and during a considerable portion of the pro ceedings, particularly at the commencement and towards the close; they were far less than that amount. On, the motion of Mr. SADDLER ; the Mayor of Leeds (R. Marklank" Esq.) was called to the chair. The reffisisition was then read, after which The MAviii addressed the meeting ; they were all aware of the reports which had gone forth to the world, and which are now entitled to some notice, as they had been allowed to remain uncontradicted, that it was the intention of Government to legislate with respect to the Roman Catholics, and to admit members of that body to seats in the Houses of Lords and Commons.• This had very naturally ex cited considerable alarm through the country, and Brunswick Clubs were established to counteract, if possible, this dangerous inroad on the Constitution. The name of " Brunswick" would be admitted to be most appropriate for such associations, when it was recollected that that family came to the throne on the principle of excluding Catholics, not merely from the throne itself, but frOin all political po*r. It was said, that it was desirable to settle the ques tion ; but how could it be settled, except by the restoration of Popery to its. former dominating in fluence ? No, he could assure them that it was not a seat in Parliament which could satisfy the Catho lics. Nothing would do so but the restoration of Popish domination. This was no secret. It was publicly avowed by several of their priests and ora tors ; for what would it avail their cause, to obtain only seats in the Peers' House for a few Catholic Lords, and the return of a few Catholic members to Parliament ? But it would be of great consequence for them to have the Roman Catholic religion in grafted on the State.—(Hear, hear.)—To counter-' act so dangerous an innovation on the Constitution, let those whom he then addressed imitate the ex ample of their brethren in other parts of the country, and form an association for the support of the Con stitution.—(Cheers.)—Let theirs be not one of ag gression, but one purely defensive.—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman HALL congratulated the Mayor, and those who were instrumental in calling this meeting, oss the numerous and respectable assem blage he saw round him. If they had hitherto been supine, it was from a confidence that the rash hand of legislation would not be applied to those sacred bulwarks of the Constitution, which, to be lasting, should remain untouched. When, however, they saw those who should be the defenders of the Con stitution, give way as cowards, and ready to surren der the citadel to the enemy, it was time that the friends of that Constitution should act, and take mea sures for preserving that which now appeared to be in so much danger. (Hear.) At this time it be came necessary to make a stand against the arrogant pretensions of some of their Roman Catholic fel low-subjects supported as they were by the usurped authority of that most mischievous body the Ca tholic Association. At such a time it was of the utmost importance that they (the gentlemen assem bled) should imitate the example of many of their excellent fellow-Protestants in other parts of the country, that they should follow up the great spirit shown by their own county at the last general elec tion, and rally round their admirable Protestant Con stitution, and uphold it against all attacks, whether made by avowed enemies or the treachery of sup posed friends. (Cheers.) He was sure that he spoke the sentiments of most, if not of all, whom he addressed, when he said that he had no wish to take important public affairs out of the hands of those to whom they were intrusted by the confi dence of their Sovereign. He, for one, had the greatest confidence in the Noble Duke at the head of the Administration, and iu many of his col leagues, but they could not shut their ears to what was said, or their eyes to what was pass ing before them : and if they attended to these, they must believe that it was the intention, in certain high quarters, to propose. some change by which Catholics were to be admitted into Par liament on certain conditions, which were to be named; and when they saw this, they would not discharge their conscientious duty if they did not come forward and publicly state their opinions, and prevent, by every constitutional means, ancient prin ciples from being sacrificed to modern expedients. (Cheers.) To talk of pacifying Ireland by means of emancipation, was nonsense. The condition of Ireland required other remedies ; she required at tention to her general and not to her private wants ; she required a restoration of the kind relations be tween landlord and tenant; she wanted the applica tion of English capital to call into action her great national resources, by which her hardy sons might find employment ; by these means, and not by send ing a few of her Peers to the Lords, or her Catholic gentry to the Commons, would the state of that country be improved, and its inhabitants rescued from their present impoverished condition. (Hear, hear.) After alluding to the argument respecting the comparatively small number of Catholics who could get into Parliament, if emancipation were granted; and observing that even a small body act ing against the State would be dangerous, its it would be a kind of nucleus round which the dis contented and disaffected would always rally, th e worthy Alderman noticed the recent repeal of the Test Acts, which, he observed, had now brought the question within more narrow limits. It was now no longer a question of Catholics and Dis senters at one side, and Protestants on the other. It was now between the Protestants anti Catholics. The repeal of the Test Acts bad removed from Protestants all charge of intolerance. Indeed, if anything, they had gone a little too far in the way of toleration. Witness their toleration of the Je suits, an order of men which some Catholic states had felt it necessary to put down. In conclusion, he called upon the Dissenters to conic forward in support of the principles of Protestantism, which they, equally with the Church of England, had an interest in defending. He would now move the first resolution, and the declaration to which it referred, and in so doing he could assure the meeting that it was not his wish to give offence to the honest feel ings of any man.• The declaration would state the principles by which they were guided,—that they would support and encourage Ministers, if they acted up to the spirit of the Constitution. • Mr. Alderman HALL then moved—" That an Association be now formed, which shall be called The Leeds Brunswick Constitutional Association;' and that every member shall, on admission, sign the annexed declaration." DECLARATION OF TILE LEEDS BRUNSWICK CONSTITIJ• TIONAL ASSOCIATION. " We, the undersigned, b e i ng d eep l y i mpresse d withh blessingsby w lawe enjoy under th e B r itish Con stitutionas establish e d at t he g l or i ous revo lution of 16 88 , do h ere by decla re , t h at t h e princi ciple on which we associate rests on a conviction of the fatal consequences which would attend the fur ther concession of political po wer to t h e R oma n Catholic subjects of this realm ; and being fully per suaded that if Papists be again allowed to legislate, the rights of the Crown and the liberties of the people, would no longer be secure, we pledge our selves to oppose such concession by all constitutional means. " That we will support his M a j esty ' s Govern merit to the utmost of our power, in enforcing obe dience to the laws, and especially in p u ttin g down that pestilent organ. 6f sedition and treason, the Ro man Catholic Association, which endeavours to overawe the Government of Ireland, has outraged the liberties of the people, and threatens to spread discord and rebellion through that divided country. " That, at the same time that we tender our best services to his Majesty's Government, for the ac complishment of these important objects, we are determined to oppose any attempt which may be made, either to introduce Papists into Parliament, or in any way to advance their political power. " That whilst for the last 30 years conciliation has been held forth as the panacea for all the evil; of Ireland, the destruction of that portion of the United Kingdom has increased in an exact ratio with the privileges granted to the Papists ; and now, when joy and gladness, prosperity and peace, should, according to the predictions of all former concilia tors, reign throughout the land, as t h e i nev i ta bl e fruit of the boons which have been successively - granted', that country presents to our v i ew P o pi s h domination in its most violent and persecuting cha racter, as. despising the laws, insulting the authori ties, proscribing individual!, exciting dissention and hatred amongst men, rending asunder the best inte rests of society, and threatening ruin and dest ruct i on to all who shall dare to oppose i t._ " That the pretensions of the Papists to political power otand on precisely the same grounds as the excluded House of Sardinia and the Bourbons of France does to the British Throne, and that if the one be !admitted, the other cannot on principle be denied. " That to urge our most Gracious Sovereign to sign an bill re-establishing legislative power in Romanatholics, would bring his own regal title to the succession into jeopardy—would tend to dis solve the compact between him and his people— would irritate and inflame the Protestant population of the United Kingdom,—and would, in all human probability, lead to a strife of bloodshed and misery, the bare anticipation of which, from past experience, it is horrible to contemplate." Mr. Alderman SADDLER came forward to second the resolution. It was true that there might be no danger in this country from the events which were taking place. But was it so in Ireland? Were their Protestant brethren is that countryequally secure? Were they to be left a prey to the wolf at the moment they were looking-10 their fellow Protestants in Eng land for that help which they themselves were always ready to give' when called on? He had had an op portunity of ktfowing much of the lower orders of the poplin' ion'of Ireland, and he would assert, that if they were not kept in ignorance and superstition,they would be as moral and industrious a set of people as those of any Country he could name.--(Hear.)-- But instead of hiving their generous minds well di rected, they were purposely kept in' ignorance, that they might be made the more fit tools in the hands of those who were their self-elected leaders. Let them have Scripture education,—let the sacred volumes be circulated as widely amongst them as possible,—and let the Catholic Association, that great pest of the country, be put down, and the hap piest effects for its prosperity would be the conse quence. The Worthy Alderman, after adverting to the civil and political blessings which had accrued' to England from the Reformation, expressed his re gret that the descendants and followers of some of the brightest ornaments of the Dissenters should be found at the present day advocating so dangerous a principle as the introduction of Roman Catholics to some of the highest privileges of the Constitu tion. He then went on to quote from the writ ings of a Dissenter (Fuller),e' an •advice and opinion on the subject of Popery'. In this the writer recommended his readers to abhor Popery, and be eminent in their zeal against Rome. It never made peace with any, and we should not make peace with it. It has been the motto of Elizabeth " peace with all the world but Spain." The motto of Protestants, with respect to Rome, should be similar in its import. After touching on some other points, the advice went on to this effect—that they (Protestants) should not cease to abhor Popery, for it was false, bloody, and blasphemous. England had cause to know this ; so had Ireland, in one of whose provinces 140,000 Protestants were murdered by them (the Papists). Popish cruelty spared none —it pitied none. After recommending this chari table advice to the consideration of the meeting, the worthy Alderman concluded by again expressing his full and entire approbation of the resolution and declaration. The question on both was now put, and they were carried in the affirmative, amidst loud cheers, here being only three or four hands held up against :Lem. Me. ATKINSON next addressed the meeting, and observed that he was then between 60 tied 70 years old. He then proceeded to state that he had spent tell years in Ireland, and could speak from some ex perience of the state of that country. Much benefit had, no doubt, been derived to many of the inhabi- tants from the extensive circulation of the Sciip tures ; but it was still a melancholy truth that the dangerous opinions and doctrines of the Romish Church were still held by the great mass of the Ro man Catholics in that country. had seen the Catholic Convention, the Catholic Board, and the Catholic Association, as they had succeeded one another, and almost at every meeting of those bodies, one of their first acts was fro endeavour to explain away the speeches of some of their own members, who at previous meetings had let out a little too much of what they did not wish to have generally avowed, and the explanation they generally gave was, that their honourable brother member had not meant what he said.—(Cheers and laughter.)—On one of those occasions a Dr. Dromgoole had let out a little too much. He stated broadly and unequivocally, that the colleges and the churches and church lands all belonged to the Catholics by right, and that they would have them. This was considered as going too far for the time, and accordingly at the next meeting of the board, it was openly asserted that the doctor had not meant what he said.—(Cheers.) But the doctor was too far gone in his zeal for the cause to have his statement contradicted, and he openly declared that he had meant all he said, and he. re-asserted his former opinions.—(Cheers, and laughter.)—A mine sprung under the Board could not have caused a greater " blow up" amongst them.—(Laughter.)—ln fact, all that Catholics wanted in all they had done for the last 20 years was a restoration of those good things for which Dr. Dromgoole had sighed. This was proved by their recent conduct. Were they not employed in marshalling their forces in, large bands of thousands, until the Protestants dared them to the field, and offered' to put them without the assistance of Go vernment ? And then came Daniel O'Connell with his proclamation, calling on his men to disperse and keep quiet.—(Cheers and laughter.)—Mr. Atkin son then went into a long detail of the atrocities which, he said, were committed on Prostestants by Papists in the rebellion of 1798, including a new version of the story of the dreadful burning of 160 Protestants at the barn at Scullabogue. The Rev. G. WRAF (Curate of Leeds) read to the meeting some extracts from the speeches made by the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel in the early part of last year, in which they defended their retirement from office, because they could not sup-, port a Government, the chief Minister of which was the avowed advocate of emancipation; and con tended, that with these examples before them, the meeting were perfectly justified in declaring that they would not support a Government favourable to that measure. The Rer. R.. FAWCET moved— " 2. That tap e b u siness of this Association shall be managed by a com mittee, with power t o a dd to their number—such committee electing its own chairman, secretary, and treasurer, and being itself elected by the association annually." Then followed the names of the committee. Mr. Witmer seconded this motion, which was put and carried, with only five dissentient voices. The Rev. B. EDMONDSON moved— " That each member shall, after signing the de claration, pay an annual subscription not exceeding one guinea, nor less than half-a-crown, to defray con tingent expenses : " This resolution was seconded, put, and carried. Mr. .I. FuiaANK, in moving " That the anni versary of the resolution shall he al ays h e ld on th e sth of November," said that if the - Papi sts s h ou ld be admitted into the Legislature, it must-ise under the impression that their religion and practice s were changed; but he was one of those who thought with themselves, that they were unchanged and unchangeable; Hut if, for the sake of argument, they were to admit they were cht..nged, and were tit, with certain conditions, to be called back ao%tin, must they not admit that the excluded family should also be recalled to the throne ? If the principle was applicable to the one case, was it not applicable to the other ? If it be just to grant to the Roman Catholics their claim to sit as legislators, was it not equally just Co grant the Duchess of Modena and her descendants, and the Bourbons of France, the crown of those realms ? (Cries of " Yes, yes.") Con cede to the Papists one point, and they would soon tell them that they had in principle already conce ded to them the other; for it' it were right to con cede to the seven millions, would it not be right to concede to the individual also I There would be, in short, nothing but au Act of Parliament standing in the way. The gentleman then moved the abeve resolution. Dr. llousoN seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The MAYOR having left the chair, thanks were voted him for his conduct while in it, and the meet ing separated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS FOR THIS WEEK.

These merry little heroes of the " Order of Agitators" agreed to settle the important question, as to which could take and give the greatest quantum of argument in tht shape of punches. The bonus was fifty, but the honour of the conquest was considered mere than usual, being a trial of stamina between the Jews and the Gentiles. The Sheenies mustered in swarms, from the Comedian and Gentlemen of the Law, to the orange vender, to support their favourite poy Barney, and the Gentiles were not want ing to snap at any odds. Barney had been training at the Rose and Crown, Ilford, where the people told a good tale at the breakfast table. lie seemed in good spirits and con dition. _ _ Harry rested at the Bull, Hornehurch, and the Gentiles were cherished by mine host with every luxury, barring eggs. The two looked confident and in goed order Bulphen Fen was named as the field of fight, and lotwith standing the cold and fog, the fancy mustered in strong numbers. The natives were in full giggle, every thing pro mised as comfortable a mill as either of the cmnbatants need wish for. Barney sported yellow for his symbol, while the Sailor Boy &ported " true blue." T,m Gaynor and Spring waited on him, while Dick Curtis and Nathan locked after Barney. The sun burst through the fog, and presented, by the time the ring was formed, as fine a fancy picture as need be looked for. A beak, however, popped in his unceremonious phis, and the scene was changed to the Barge-house, opposite • 'Woolwich ; thither the lads of the fancy directed their weary prads, and in due time the ring was formed as it ought to be, and the men went in. Twelve pugilists were paid by the Fair Play Club to keep the ring. At half-past three the men were both ready. Round 1. Jones won the choice for sides. Jones feinted lint it would not do, Barney went in and followed across the ring till he was thrown, without much mischief. First blood from Barney's forehead.o 2. Barney went in but received Harry's up-hit, although • be got the throw. 3. Both laughing; Jones tried his right hand, but was well stopped, he, however, gave some good up-hits, and got the throw. (The Sheenies on the grunt.) 4. Barney swung down, but up in a moment, still rallying till both fell, apparently from Jones's swing. 5. All fighting. Jones told a hei.vy job on Barney's forehead, and threw him well.—Sailor for ever. 6. Barney went in, but was well stopped, while Jones tried to hit up but missed, he however swung the other down. 7. Jones hit Barney terribly as he came in, and threw hint a heavy S. Barney anxious, but Jones retreated, and stopped all till Barney I'd'. 9. Barney cautious, but no use till he went in and was thrown cleverly and heavily by Harry.—(The Gen tiles in extacyf.) 10. Barney wild ; he went in, and staggered till he got rather the best of the fall. 11. The fog so thick that hardly aqy one could see. Berney got a rum left-hander as he came in and staggered, till he got the best of the fall again. 12. Barney went ire, but fell weak, and Jones fell over him. 13. Jones caught him by the lock, and hit up terribly till Barney fell weak. 14. Barney ready, Jones ducked and avoided the blow, but he again struck Barney upon the head. 15. A close—but no mischief till Jones threw Barney easily. 16. Barney tried to go in, but got hit up again till he fell. 17. Poor Barney rather stupid. Jones floored him by a clean hit. 18. Barney thrown again terribly, and Jones won in twenty-five minutes. - RX3LA RKs. Barney was no use against Harry, whose forte at up hitting took the fight out of hi m in a ver y sh ort time. He seemed quite out of his element, and hardly did any thing. Of course many of the Sheenies w7litldied most lustily, but poor Barney seemed to have inhaled too deep a poi Lion of the fog to be aide to think his way safely through Hat ry's rallies. The ring at the conclusion was one continued state of uproar amt serving, and Toni Spring, who interfered in a most manly manner, on one occasion was very near being conobled for his straightforward principles. SECOND FIGHT BETWEEN MIKE CURTAIN AND YOUNG, FOR 251. A-SIDE. These men next entered the ring at 10 minutes after four. Curtain, attended by Jack Cooper and Alick Reid ; and Young, by Young Dutch Sam and Ned Stockman. A slashing fight followed amidst great confusion, the ring having been broken in. 47 rounds were fought with al ternate success, in 38 minutes • by which time, from the increasing density o f th e f og , ;hose only close to the awn could see their condition, and all became impatient for the conclusion. At length Curtain having been hit blind, was persuaded to give in—and thus ended the sperts of the day. - - PRoVI NC IA L BANK.—The r un on this Establishment has at length ceased, aad its not:s are again circulati ng briskly.

Sixteen Clergymen of the Archdeaconry of Nottingham have addressed a requisition to their Archdeacon to call a meetiug of themselves and the other clergymen of the Archdeaconry, for two very incoherent and disconnected purposes, —the first, to afford aid t o th e i nc i p i ent institu tion ; and the second to create King'sssnCleonlege the Duk e o f W e lli ng . tltoate of en ton and his Majesty's Government, by putting forth their unsolicited clerical veto on the Ca tholic question. They say, in their requisition to the Archdeacon, " to call a meeting for the purpose oaf. taking - into consideration the best mean's of proeurifig support to King's College"— that " they will take that opportunity of making a declaration- expressive of their determination .fdlise their best endeavours to uphold the Pro testant ascendancy." They are handy fellows, though somewhat dangerous to the state ! They meet for one purpose, and turn that meeting to an object totally different. Upon the first pro fessed purpose, money, we presume, is to be raised. Is that to be applied to carry the second purpose into effect?-.-,to purchase arms, for example, to transmit to th e Orangemen of Ireland ? If not, why are two objects apparently so irrelative coupled together? What would be said of the Catholic Association if it advertised to raise money for one purpose, and intimated that the meeting would take another subject into consideration, - for which money might be wanting ? It is con .trary to the Constitution and the usage of Par liament to tack a money-clause to a bill whose enactments relate to a different subject : and here we have 16 clergymen, probably some of them Magistrates, with an Archdeacon, not at their head, but at their tail, tacking a mischief clause. to a bill for assisting the funds of the pro posed college; that is, the money-clause comes first, and the mischief-clause follows. We speak of the clause as mischievous: for undoubtedly it is meant to generate a factious opposition to the measures of Government, even before it is known what those measures may be. Thus much only is certain, that the Duke of Welling. ton and his Administattion deprecate and dis courage all meetings called for the object which is professed in the latter part of the requisition of these 16 divines. The following is the re quisition alluded to :-- MEETING OF THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE • CLERGY. . " We, the undersigned, request you to call an early meeting of the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Notting ham, at sny place you may deem the most convenient, for the purpose of taking into consideration the letter from the Committee of King's College, in London, as to the Lest means of procuring support to that institution. Aud further, to take the same opportunity of making a de claration expressive of our feelings . towards the Constitu tion in Church and State; and our determination to use our best endeavours to uphold the Protestant ascendancy. 44 George Wilkins "O.

IN Credit, it would appear,—the paper credit system,—is now and then ~ an ugly customer," even to those for whose security it professes to make war upon the rest of mankind. The con duct of some of the paper-credit gentlemen is reported at this moment to be rather curious.— Our readers must recollect a remit case, in which a respectable Quaker banking-house was defrauded of a large sum of money—not less, perhaps, than .5,0001.—by a series of forged, bills or acceptances. That there was proof of the fact sufficient to hang the culprit, admitted at the time of no moral doubt, but was not esta blished by any legal evidence, nor did the case ever come before a Magistrate. The bankers, however injured and mortified by their lass, were incomparably more shocked at the noti on of contributing to the ignominious death of a fellow-creature, for a crime which involved no shedding of blood, or outrage against human life, and upon which, therefore, the Almighty was not understood to have affixed the seal of capital punishment. The humane Quakers were satisfied to be sufferers in their fortunes, rather than in theirfeelings ; they forbore to bring for ward any charge against the transgressor, and lei him depart, that he might repent in peace. This was unquestionably a course of proceeding which would meet more sympathy from_ Christians, from philosophers, and even fr om ie:orrt ti e ll: i ela i iil l ir i al g ktc h eeo t ril t .sioi n pau e arr d t: statesmen, than from that class of practitioners who see justice through .no better medium than the technicalities of criminal law, or from that moms sacredi n. therefore but t abouth e ct ci refuses ey r e e rdlti d i loi si t t . e t s credit."
