Ii i s thought, that two days in etch week will be ap pointed for the ballots of Election Committ. es ; snd that the Parliament will not terminate its sittings until the beginning of August. If it be true that the Roman Catholics of Eng land and Ireland will not concede that their Church in temporalities and spirituals shall be subject to the power of, the Imperial Legislature, of which they are anxious to become Nl'mbers, though the Church of England, the Church of Seotland, and the Protestant Dissenters from both these Establishments, are under the controul and txist by the Statittable Regulations of the Conn hy—we really wiA) to know on what principle it is, that the Papists claim the right to be admitted to the Legislature and State, if they will not con sent to the power of the former ? The Protestant Cause has lost one of its most sincere and powerful Supporters by the death of the late Dean of CARLISLE—the Rev. Dr. MuNex. Private letters state, that Sir H. WeLeas- LCX was about to retire front the Bri ish tion at Madrid. This is not ascribed to any di•- satisfaction felt by our Government at the recen' change in Spain, but to feetings ot alienation be• tweet, Sir HENRY and the party now at the head of affairs at Madrid.

SU. INCREASE OF TRADE: MR.EmTott—Ai 1 prefer the anticipation of good to the foreboding of evil, I am happy to congratu late the Morning Chrimicle upon the gorid humour with which it records the rise of wagesin the Hat trade, by the unaninions consent of the Mantitac- Curers in the vicinity of Manchester. " This," it observes, copying from a Country Paper, " is the way to cure Radicalism." Now, Sir, if this does cure Itai!icalism, even in one breast only, 1 hail the act as a judicious one ; but the Chronicle does not seem to recollect that a rise i❑ the price of wages must produce a rise in the price of bats, unless we are to suppose the hatters so charitable that they will pay dearer for labour than its price in the market, yet sell their goods at the old prices. How Mr. Morning Chronicle may manage as to old hats 1 won't pretend •0 say, byt l ui ptesume that in the purchase of new ones, whatever he may feel, he is not inclined to go above the market price, and will have not only the best but the cheapest, without regard to manufacturers,' wages! It, however, ti)e wages of the working classes are raised, the Public must not grumble at higher prices; we have no right to expect the Manufac turers to make sactifices, it the Public t efuse to support them There is no more claim upon a Master Mannticturer to pay his men above the marke• price of labour, than . there is for the Chronicle ,o sell its Incubi. itions at half-price. Bor to le...ye this tit.plea..soit soi)j'ec , for another favonrire one of the lti3oenina Chronicle.—" ters must do something to relieve the general distress."

IRlstt WIT.--.The Members of the Bar .who visited Clonmel some years since, and the inha bitants of that town, have in their humorous re collection a landlady, whose ;sheer wit often baffled the most trumpeted and able jester of the hour.

" No won , der," replied Honor, '' don't you sea yonder Crosby Morgel and Billy Keller raisin; the wind!"

EsEcuTrou.--eork, April 20.—Yesterday, the first two of the ten persons left for execution at the last Assizes, underwent the sentence of the law at Gallows-green, in the presence of a vast con course of people. The names of these men 'were Torpy and Patrick Sullivan. 'Though youn;:, they had both roil a long career of vice, and their crimes were numerous and of a most desperate cha racter. They had been suffered to turn approvers in a case of burglary tried.at the last 'Autumn Assizes, and an opportunity, was then affurded them of abandoning (hose courses which brought them into so perilous a situation, It appears, however, that tliey acted rather from a desire to prolon'g existence, than from an r•4lnpuriction for their crimes ; for they had searet iy been liberated when they returned to that society and t hosa habits, communion and indidgetlce in which, never fail to lead to misery, degradation, anti puuishment.
