We do not give en easy 'credit to the charges against her MAJESTY, Bich have been an widely disseminated and so confidently asserted, but as " CiEsAß's wife ought hot to be sus'peCted," surely the Consort of a Throne, in these enlightened, and wt trust more virtuous times, ought not to enjoy the proper honours of her elevated station while doubt hangs over her character, whether uttered by the breath of calumny or founded on the evidence of truth. Our duty to a Sovereign, who, as we have said, Was already rendered such benefit to the Country, by the judicious errirgy which marked his &le g:tted Government of the State, as to hold forth the most auspicious promises of a happy reign, entitles him to domestic happiness, and what happiness could he be expected to enjoy if clogged by an unworthy Partner in a full participation of the honours of Sovereignty ? No—justice, duty, 'decency, common sense, must demand a full refu tation of what we sincerely hope will prove to be the wanton tUsions of malevolence, revenge, and other baleful sources, before she is suffered to enjoy that Throne, the nusullied purity of which co! late revered QUEEN maintained through the Whole progress of her life, and which no females Were suffered to approach whose character and con duct bad suffered under the faintest breath of un refuted slander. We shall resume this subject as often as occasion may require, but our columns shall be always open to candour, or whatever laity tend to defeat the efforts of falsehood, and disperse the clouds that may have gathered over the bead of calumniated Vitt(ie. We are sorry to learn, from the best authori•y, that several pat ts of Ireland are in an exceedingly ilisturbed state. The LORD MAyoR of Dublin, Whose arrival in town yesterday we have noticed ip anorher part of our Paper, is a staunch Loyalist, and . firmly attached to the Protestant Iteligion. Though coming for the purpose o f presenting an Address to his MAJESTY, be is doubtless possessed of such 'information respecting the true condition of Ireland, and t he causes and nature of its present commo t"is as Ministers may deem important, and therefore, it may be confidently expected that "ley will avail ihemselves of an opportunity of "rnmunicating with so intelligent and so respec table a character as this Gentleman.

FOR TUE SUN. THE QUEEN. MR. EDlTOR—Although I have no great objec tion to the questions lately asked in the House of Commons, respecting this High Personage, I cannot forbear saying, that to me they appeared injudicious and premature. They anticipated the light of guilt, whore suspicion scarcely glimmered, and looked for innocence with an eve glancing on imaginary turpitude, suggested only by that mis chievous monster RUMOUR, which never yet ut tered truth, except by accident. A Right Ho nourable Member has, notwithstanding, made it the foundation on which he supports his opposi tion to a vote of any provision for the QUERN, while its hollow trump sounded corrupt reflections on her amiable character. This is highly impro per, as tht vote itself flashes conviction that her conduct is unblemished. It cannot be supposed, without a breach of all decency, that Ministers would have submitted it to Parliament for a❑ un worthy personage. It implies the direct contrary, and that the blasts of unwarrantable obloquy are no more than an unsavory fume. Her morality has_been scrutinized, under a Commission of En- (pity, and found to be honourably pure, to the eternal shame of her interested accusers. Why, therefore, scrutinize it again by that detested ac cuser Rumorn, that pipe, blown by surmises, jealousies, and conjectures ) Why encourage RUMOUR, on whose tongues continual slander rides, the which in every language stuffs !he ears with falsehoods ? Better would it be to whisper peace unto those who are defamed, and to heal the broken in spirit. I am your friend, THE FL fHER OF CANDOUR. GENERAL ELECTION. The contest at Denbigh will prove a severe one, as it includes family as well as political opposi tion. Election squibs are already flying about, some of them of the most pointed description. Mr. Stewart Majorihinks, son of the East In dia Chairman, has declared himself a Candidate for Hythe. A requisition has been sent to John Smith I3arry, Esq. requesting him to offer himself for Preston. Wigan will be strongly contested; an active canvass is now carrying on. General Burton oilers himself for Beverley in a long ,Iddress to the Electors, headed " Liberty end I ,, ilependenee." We i►r.nr, that in case of a contest for the re presenta, inn of the University of Cambridge, Mr. Robert GrHnt, late M. P for Banff, Hod brother to the Right Hon. Charles Grant, means to offer himself AS a Candidate. John Wells, E.g. of Bickley, has withdrawn himself as a Candidate for the Representation of Maidstone, in consequence of A PLIIDGIS being re quired of hint that he would vote against CATLIO• LIC EMANCIPATION. COUNTY DUBLIN.---A fourth Candidate is up for the County Dublin , luis name has not yet been made public. Coat..—Mr. Gerrard Callaghan, the present Member (or Dundalk, is a Candidate for the City of Cork, of which he is a native. COUNTY SLlGO.—Abraham Boyde, Esq. intends to offer himself for the County of Sligo. Buttouct; or MALLow.—The representation of this place will be disputed. COUNTY OF KBRtty'.—N o third Candidate has yet avowed himself for this extensive County; but a young Gentleman of high pretensions, Mr. Bleunerhasset, is spoken of as a competitor with the present Members. COUNTY OF CLARE.—There will not, probably, be any contest fur this wealthy and populous County. COUNTY op GALWAY.—Rumour very strosgly favours the expectation of a contest in this County. SIIIP NEWS. LYMINGTON, FEB. 29.—The Flint, WARREN, from Dunbar to Bristol, which sailed from hence on the 20th inst., having put in with damage and leaky, fouled her anchors in Swanage Bay, on Saturday evening, and was obliged to he run on shore : she has since sunk, and it is feared will not be got up ; crew saved. PLYMOUTH, Fsu. 28.—Put back in distress the Sylvia, Hill, from Sr. Michael's for London.— Sailed the Kitty, Quiller, for Terceira. PortTsmotrn, FEB. 29.—Sailed his Majesty's ship Favourite for the Downs, and a large fleet of coasters to the Eastward. THR THEATA.----Atter the Opera of Guy Man , tiering, at. Drury-Noe Theatre last night, was performed the ple . asing little Piece of The Quaker, one of the dramatic productions of the late Mr. DitibiN, vi.hose innumerable loyal effusions were highly litwourable to himself, and no doubt eminently beneficial to his country, in diffusing, in popular and im pressive linguage, the true spirit of liberty and attachment to the Throne. On this occasion, the old public favourite, INCLEDON, came forward in the character of Steady. He was received, on his entrance so warmly, and sung with so much force, as not only to justify the Manager in engaging him, but to excite more 111R11 surprise that he should so long have been absent from the London stage. Having touched upon the memory of the late Mr. DIaDIN. it is but justice to Govern ment to state that j tovision has been made for the support of his widow and daughter. Such pro vision is, indeed, a national debt, and we hope it is tinflicient to render comfortable the relict of so loyal and so admired a character. THE MURDEROUS CONSPIRACY. THE DAGGERS. IC I ‘ A ''''' - • The above Cut will afford our readers a correct idea of the daggers that were to have been used by the assassins, though they are by no means so well finished as the Cut represents them. A is a dagger, made out of a bayonet, and may be used singly or placed at the top of a pike. Eis a dagger with a hole in the middle of it to receive the dagger A ; when screwed on, as our Readers will see it (BB), it forms three daggers, which may be used in front and right and left. They are drawn in the wood -cut, as intended to be used in a room or a crowd, where the assassins and their victims are close together. *** ‘Ve have availed ourselves of the kindness of a liberal Competitor to present the foregoing representation of the horrible Instrument found among the gang of Conspirators, whose diaboli cal designs have been so happily frustrated. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OP CHANCERY, MARCH 1. JUDGMENT. in the Matter of DEAN a Minor, and STABLES. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on entering the Court, proceeded to give his judgment in this im portattt case. He said, he had taken time to con sider the case, and had no doubt but Mrs. Dean, Ballard, the footman, and the woman servant, had been guilty of a contetmpt• of that Court, and s hat proceedings would be Wren on that conclu sion would be a matter for future consideration. The Court could not, however, avoid looking at the circutnstanws •f the family of Mr. Dean permitting a young man of fortune, and at Col lege too, to remain the whole of his life, us it were, unprotected, and only when he was on the verge of manhood that they sought the protection which the Court always afforded to persons in his situation. He could not bring himself to say' that Mr. and Mrs. Stables were privy to the elopement of the 14th of December. The Court was crowded to excess, it being un derstood that most of the parties were present. SURREY SESSIONS. This morning these Sessions were resumed before THOMAS HARRISSON, Esq. Chairman, and a full Bench of Magistrates. On the Grand Jury being sworn, they were addressed by the Chair man as follows : G ENTLEMEN,—In ordinary times, and under any other cir cumstances, I should content myself in the few words it will be my duty to address to you, with lamenting the increase of crime so apparent by the Calendar; but when I see such de testable means resorted to fur the perpetration of deeds which are too notorious, as being too horrible almost to be adverted to I should, therefore, be wanting in the dis charge of my duty if I did nut point out the cause. I have then no hesitation in saying, that the whole is attributable to the unrestrained circulation of Blasphemous and Seditious Pub lications, such as have come under the notice of the Court through other Grand Jurors. Asa proof of this, time is now a Printer in the Borough, that stands in the situation of being called on whenever the Court thinks proper, for pub lishing the Second Part of the " Age of Reason," written by Thomas Paine, whose malignity towards Religion and good order was equalled only by 'the absurdity of his reasoning. With the horrible' transactions that now agitate the Nletro polis, you nor I have nothing'to do, except as good subjects to support the peace and morals of society to the utmost of our power ; but with respect to the Blasphemous and Seditious publications 1 have alluded to, it will be the duty of all good en to suppress to the , utmost of their power. lam not aware that any thing of the sort will conic under your consi deration ; but should it be so, you will discharge your duty to your Ged, your Country, and yourselves, by presenting them to the notice of the Court. The Grand Jury then withdrew, and the tra verse paper was - proceeded in. REGISI ER OF FASHION. in'. , r n to e tters n ber, t 5011 s, at' lone l lour' but ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.-(PETERSFIEI.D.) WINCHESTER, FEB. 29.—This morning our As— sizes began. There is not much business in the Civil side of the Court, but the Calendar is rather heavy. A true Bill has been found by the Grand Jury against Mr. HECTOR, CAWLEY, and. the three other persons who were engaged in taking the forcible possession of the tenement in Peters field, occupied by Josics the cooper ; the circum stances of which base excited so much public at- ention. Mr. Horttiotart has been released from New. gate, and to-motrow he dines by invitation with his Westminster friends at the Cruwu and Anchor over ARRIVALS.

MONTHLY REPORT FOR FEBRUARY. Since the breaking up of the long frost, plough- - ing and field-culture generally have proceeded with all possible diligence, and in proportion to the facilities afforded by the soil. The wheats, and all arable lands, %sill receive a full portion this season of the benefits which never fail to accrue from a frost of considerable duration at tended with a sufficient cover of snow. Considers. able quantities of the potatoes in store have been frosted, whilst the apple• have never been known to keep better, and never was there a more plen tiful season of that most useful fruit. The low meadows bate been generally flooded from the sudden thaw ; and the wheats so situated are sup posed to have received heavy damage. CORN-EXCHANGR, MANCH I —We had very little fine Wheat at Mathet this morning, having had no fresh arrivals since Monday, and prices remain as on that day. Fine Barley fully sup. ports its price, having a short supply to•day but the middling qualities continue heavy sale.— The arrivals of Oats have beer► very large this week:and at a decline of about Is. per quarter ; the trade was very heavy.—ln other articles there is no alteration. A Letter front Leeds of the 27th tilt, says— " my last I informed you of the ttinviluous proceedings at Dewsbury and the rlci,hbouting townships and of the committal of teo of the ring leaders to York Cas.lle. I; was hoped that aided by the presence of the mEitary, would have restored tranquillity, at least for a time ; but I am sorty to sAy it has not been the case. The Union men show a bolder front than ever, and openly declare they will avenge themselves on all who ()prose Ilietn. lo spite of the presence of the military, and the inmoit vigilance of the Municipal Authorities, the Union Societies increase."
