LITERARY REVIEW. A :4ERIES of LETTERS nddre•s . sed to e FRIFNII, tip(in the ROMAN CATHOLIC: QUESTION. By I3tITASNICUS. (Continued from the Ist iOstanr.) The Valuable Tract to which we renew our at tention speaks so emphatically for itself thit no comm : elm is necessary on our pail. It is, how ever, proper again to intimate, !bat it, is written by a LAYMAN, es that consideration may operate on the minds of the Members of the E S TABLISHED CuH RCif , and intliice them to come forward with zeal to support it against those enemies twi►o never-will be satisfied, or think they sufficiently merit happiness hereafter till they hare ac'eom plished its total annihilation. My bEAR shall now resume the consi deration of the question how far the plea of 'auk.- diency can be urged in favour of the concession of. the Roman 'Catholic Claims. You assert, ," that things cannot remain as " they are, and that the Penal Lawt most either " be re•et►aetetl, or some further concessions be " made." Bat this is - certainly a most singular argument, end it surely can never be seriously urged, that because the Legislature has chosen to make certain concessions, and thereby placed the Roman Catholics in a more imposing attirmle of solicitation, that still further concessions must be granted. It this principle were once admit ted-, to what a monstrous and unreasonable length wo uld it extend. Roman Catholics might then insist upon► a national restoration of the pomp and splendour of their religion ; they might petition to he allowed the payment of 'plies exclusively to their own Clergy, upon the grounds of its being an hardship and a violation ot• their religion to pay tl►em to PrO(eStlllt betouheots and e one e s. sion after concession mieht thus be made, until an English Vicar Apostolic, or an Irish Titular Bishop, approached the Woolsack in the House ►f Peers !* I look epos this argument (if argu ment it c►in be called). of the necessity of further concessions being made, as mere itirimidation. may as well be said that all the Claims ought to be granted, because a large number of persons baste petitioned that they should he; but Ibis sorely can be no reason for their concesion. Extorted pri v il e g e s ►ere merely indicative of the weakness 'and degradation of those 'Atli° grant t Lot, and can never be attetidcd with any beneficial eff-cte.— Yoo, in conjunction with other advocates for the Claims, are too apt, when urging them upon the ground of expediency, to forget tbe Protestant in terest altogether. It. is held out that if they he not .granter!, certain ruinous consequences will cosne ; hot has it never occurred to those who so zealously liege 'hell), that consequences equally as tuitions may ensue, should the Claims be granted Will the great Protestant Alajority of the Nation be satisfied in case they should he conceded, and would it be wise policy to disoblige old friends in order to purchase the favour of new ones by _a surrender of laws which have hitherto been coo . sidered as fundamental parts of nor Constitution You insinuate that if the Mims be not conceded, a virtual separation between this Island, and the Sister Country will take place ; but is this likely ? The Offices front which the Roman Catholics are excluded can only be filled by a few of them, and by a few only of the wealthiest and must power ful, and no real interest can therefore be felt by the great body of the Roman Catholics of Ireland in the decision of the question. Is there riot reason to believe, that it is merely kept alive for party purposes, and to serve as a stepping-stone to powcr for disappointed ambition ? It is a libel upon the people of Ireland to suppose that their alle giance sits so light upon them as has been it►si nuatetd, and that bo trivial a cause as the one int= pitted to • them would fan the embers of party into the flames of Rebellion. I, indeed, have formed a very different estimate of Irish loyalty. Sincere in its origin—enthusiastic in its progress.—and be neficial in its results, it is not to be impeded by a mere struggle for power, which, if granted, would confer no - benefit upon the Peasant—no blessing upon the Cottage, hot would confine its effects ratite kfty Dome and he Baronial Domain. Ireland has evils to encounter—site has wrongs to be redres sed—but the conce.ssion or the Roman Catholic evmtld•neither avert the former, or obviate the latter. It would neither increase or cement tbe union wt►ich now subsists between Protestslits and Catholics ; and until certain principles are re nounced, that union will not advance in its opera tion ; " like the Rhone which flows through-the " Lake of Geneva without mixing its waters wit!► " those of the calm Lake," it will never so far extend its effects as to promote a perfect recipro city of interest between the two Parties.

[Morning C'kronicle.] We were dkfypointed yesterday in our hopes of receiving advices from Buenos Ayres direct, for, on inquiry, we found that the vessel au-. nounced from that quArter on Lloyd's books had been detained at Nlonte Video for more than a month, from which place she ,brings letters to 23d January. One of them states a cations fact, whi c h we cannot altogether credit, viz. that Fruit's Bibeta, Atm second in command, had joined the Portuvese with titil the turves he cam- [Pitich Shirti,lpENcr. mantled. Some Other RIO Janeiro letters were received yesterday, and ,from them we were ena bled to Obtain the following extracts, which, though not so late ?ka tho•e we have previously published,. contain additional information respect ing the affairs of Buenos Ayres:— Rio JANEIRO, FEB. 26.--XVe yesterday received news from Buenos Ayres, by which w e learn that the Dire'ctor, General ilondeac, ltad been beaten, and the army he had, carried with him from the capital completely destroyed, in the neighbour hood of Rosario, by t:le Moutoneros, who, when our advices came away, were within six leagu:•s of Buenos Ayers. On this information reaching. the 'place, the Government was immediately over thrown. This defeat, and the consequent as cendancy of thelllont °hero', with whom is Cal". rcra, will, 110 doubt, affect Chili, and produce there a change us coMplete in men and measures as has taken Place in the capital of La Pl,rta.— 'l'i►e road to Chili, of course, still ;mains inter cepted. Sir ThOmas Hardy has taken' Commodore Bowles' bou`se, and was living asbute. HIGH BAILIFF OF SOUTHWARK. A Pe:itio9 was presented against this Borough Officer by an individual living in the Borano, who cot4lained of the High Bailiff's conduet relative to a ease in the Court of Ittquests, and prayed redress. 'Tie Petition was referred to a Cotatnittee after v ante rematks, it appearing to be the generarsense of the Court that such an inguny Was necessary, hoth iu justice to the wortil Bailiff and to the Pe , i!ioner, as the High Bailiff was seriously iharged. LONDON BRIDGE. The CITY REMI:MBIANCER reprted, that five Petitions on the subje,t of Loudon Bridge had been presented to the House of Commons, anti that one of them prayed that there might be a Bill brought in to build a new Bridge, and place it under the superintendence of other and disinte rested persons. After a few words on the subject by Alderman Wood, Messrs. Oldham, &c., Sir Tnomns moved, that the City Members he requested to move in Parliament for a Select Committee on the subject.—Agreed to. Mr. Alderman WooD requested that the City . Surveyor should lay the plan of building the . Courts of •King's Bench, of Common Pleas, and those for the Commissioners of Bankrupts, on' the site of BlaAwell Hall, btfore this Court. This request was instantly complied with, and the plan seemed to give universal satisfaction. OILMAN FUND AND COAL DUTY. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN observed, that be bad unready attempted mice or three times this day to press his motion on. It was one of nu or t !i. nary importance, and yet means were fad-aid to pot it ..IF, time alter time. The City was now applying to Parliament to borrow money, and the very subject of their revenues was made the ground of a motion in the House of Commons. lie had waited for six months, but in vain, for every time ti.e Court met he found his motion at the bottom of his Lordship's paper. Was this any thiog like just ? Was this at all fair ? Was this at all indi cative of an honest desire to learn truth ? It it was not heard now, he called on the Lord Mayor, in common justice to the City,. the Corporation, and the Livery, to say when it would be heard, and to name a specific day for that purpose. Mr. BlioWN ul►j+Clod to die 1110tioil tiOw corn ing ►►n, as fir Wm. Curtis was atient, and lie tln►ught it would be untair to take this motion out ot i t , turn . li e would recommend a special day to be natned tot the purpose. Mr. IVAITIIMA.N — It the convenience of others is to be con , nited, why should not mine be the same ? According to the artiment ot the last Gentleman, I am to he kept bete all day because an Honourable Baronet and others chuse to ne glect their daty. Ater some remarks from Alderman Atkins anti and others, the motion was fixed for special bear kg on the 23d instant, being Wednesday se'n night. THE FEES AT THE OLD BAILEY. Mr. OLDI:Ag said, he had now a motion to make relative t. ihe *my extraordinary conduct pursued by the Keepers of the Gallery at the Old Bailey during the late State Trials, anti he had t o move for an account of all the rates and demands made each day for admission to the galleries during the said State Trialb, and that the Sword Bearer do pre sent such account to this Court, such fees being Part of his office. Mr. Alderman ATKINS suggested, that as this motion might lead to some kind of discussion, it might perhaps be proper to the Worthy Mover to give notice of such a motion, as the fees of the Sword Bearer were of some moment at present, Mr. OLDHAM agreed, and the notice was enter ed for the next Court, Mr. 0. observing, that the practice was highly pernicious, and would require alteration. MR. SHERIFF PARKINS. Mr. Dixon, in consequence of the then state of the Court, from so many members retiring, deferred presenting the Report of the Committee relative - to the charges brought by the late Lord Nlayor against Sheriff Parkins till next Court. The Court then ballotted for a person to he assistant to Mr. Temple, the Hall Keeper, when the son of that Gentleman was declared duly elected by a majority of 100. The Lord Mayor's Chaplain was then request ed to print his Sermon, and send a col►y to each Member.—Adjourned. The Navy Club had their Anniversary Dinner on Wednesday at the Thatched Home Tavern. Lord MARK KERR presided ; and &,+d MANvrRs, SirJoHN COLPOYS, Lord KUITH, and about thirty other Admirals and Commanders, were present- Yesterday tl►e remains of Lady OSBOHNe, relict of the late Sir GEORGZ OiBoHNE, Were removed from her house in Charles•ytreet, Berkeley-square, for interment in the f.►mily vault at Crickgend Priory, in Bedfordshire. The funeral ►cas very grat►tl, aUd attended by upwards of 20 ivate cal lieges. [Morning Post ] The Crown of England, and the, pattern for the new making up r►f the same, are both at the Treasury. it is not true that any of the jewels had been taken out. [Morning Herald] TFIE COIRONATYON.—The Lord Chamberlain has received an otder from the Privy Council tor the solemn proclamation of the intended cetemonial of his Majesty's Coronation ; and, in conse quence, the different Officers of the Herald's Col lege and the Lord Chamberlain's department will assemble at St. James's Palace, at ten o'clock on Saturday morning, in their official costume. Flom thence they will set out in procession to West minster Hall, and there proclamation urn fit st be made, and afterwards it. will be proclaimed through the metropolis, with the same ceretno. nies as those observed when his Majesty was pro. claimed King.

Report to the Senate, on the 24 l or April, l'B2o, of which the following is the substance:— " That it would greatly add to the splendour and utility of this University, and might es sentially promote the cause of Science, to erect an Observatory upon the most ap proved plan, to be furnished with the best instruments that can be procured; that the duty of principal Observer should be vested in the Plu. main Professor, under whose direction two assist ant Observers should be phced, who should he , Graduates of the University ; that the expence of building and furnishing en Observatory, the buildings for the accommodation of the C:hserver and his assistants, could not (exclusively of the site) be estimated at less than 10,0001. ; that, be sides the salaries of the 'assistant Observers, there would be niaay ,expences to which such HO esta blishment would be liable ; and that funds ade quate to carrying the whole of the proposed plan into effect, should be raised, partly by the con tributions of individuals, and partly by the Uni versity, " That the Observations should be printed at the expence of the University every year, and copies of them presented to the principal Obser vatories in Europe. " That irr addition to the capit 41 instruments of the Observatory, there shouid be others of less size and value, appropriated under due regulations, to the use and instruction of Academical Students."
