IMPOSTURE UNMASKED. THE pro.ciiess of Merit, although frequently assailed, is not impeded by Envy and Detraction. The aggression of Ambuscade terminates in Defeat—and conscious Rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand Object—Public Approbation. The test of Experience is the, guarantee of Favour, and has Established WARREN'S BLACKING in general Estimation, of which there exists net a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment ' of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious Preparation as the genuine Article, to the great dis appointment of the unguarded Purchaser, and manifest injury of Warren, whose character and interest by this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an indispensable duty to CAUTION the PUBLIC against the manoeuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who, having no charac ter to lose, and stimulated by avarice in their nefarious pur suits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour. The original and matchless Blacking bears on each Bottle a short direction, with the signature— ROBERT WARREN. All others are Counterfeits ; and in many instances the im position labels are artfully interlined with a different Address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base Fabrica tions of Warren's Blacking, to return the detected Trash to the source whence it came, and expose the machinations of rascality to merited obloquy. Warren's Blacking is surprisingly brilliant: it excludes damp, gives pliancy to the leather, retains its pristine virtue in all climates, and, combining elegance with comfort, is an article equally of indispensable fashion and utility. Sold by every respectable Vender in Town and Country, in bottles, at 6d, 10d, 12d, and 13d, each. COUNTESS DE ST. BELMONT.—After the Count de ST. BEr.moNT,who commanded a small fortress against Louis X[V. had been taken prisoner, his lady, who was of a most heroical disposition, remained upon the estates to take care of them. An officer of cavalry having taken up there his quarters without invitation, Madame =de ST. BELIVIONT sent him a polite letter of complaint on his ill behaviour ; which he treating with contempt, she sent him a challenge which she signed, "Le Chevalier de ST. BELMONT." They met, and Madame de ST. BELMONT appeared in man's clothes. The heroine having succeeded in disarming her opponent, said to him with a very gracious smile, " You thought, Sir, I doubt not, that you were fighting with the Chevalier de ST. BELMONT, but it is Madame de ST. BELMONT, who returns you your sword, and begs that in future you will pay more attention to the request of Ladies." HINTS to ENGLISH LADIES purchasing Cheap Lace abroad.—One instance occurred e y t 1 o f the deception which was practised in selling this article to our countrywomen. A lady purchased at thirty guineas a veil of peculiarly fine texture at Brussels, which she conceived to be an extra- ordinary cheap bargain. t On returning to her residence in Devonshire, she happened to display, the prize among her friends, when one gentleman took from his pocket a magnifying glass, and narrowly examined the lace, when he told the lady it was his own manufacture, pointing out to her his initials, as a private mark in a particular corner, and he sold them for 31.35. each! The lady threw over her countenance tke veil to con ceal that chagrin occasioned by the disappoint ment she had met with in the pursuit of bargains in cheap lace !

Petitions from Ross, in Herefordshire, and Calne, in Wilts, praying for some legislative enactment for the more speedy recovery of small debts.—Laid on the table. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved some ;erbal amend ments to his resolutions respecting Joint Stock Companies, and adverted to some typographical errors, one of which related to the word " as we understood. The Marquis of LANSDOWN suggested how far it might not be expedient in acting upon the principle of public security, to consider whether Ireland might not be excepted from the operation of the proposed measure to its full extent. However proper it might be to check extensive speculations in this coun try, the case was very different with respect to Ireland, where there was little prospect of capital being employed if legislative restraint were imposed. It was known that the want of capital was one of the greatest privations which Ireland experienced, for there was not a sufficient number of monied persons in the country to give effect to its natural resources. The best thing, therefore, that the Legislature could do, was to encourage, rather than check the transmission of capital from England.-- But he did not see how individuals would be induced to enter into speculations in Ireland, if not upon the principle that they were not to be made liable for any larger sum than the amount of their subscription. By enforcing the measure with respect to Ireland much greater mischief would be done than was ap prehended from the risk against which it professed to guard, for it would have the effect of extinguishing all English capitals in that part of the United Kingdom. The Earl of LAUDERDALE deprecated the idea of dis countenancing the application of capital in Ireland. The ob ject of his motion was not to discourage persons from speculat ing, but to make those who did speculate really apply the ca pital to the' proposed undertaking. He knew very well that where the capital of a Company was announced at 1,000,0001., not more than 50,000/. was actually subscribed. The Marquis of LANSDOWN was not against the prin ciple of fair security ; all he objected to was such a deposit as would deter persons from embarking their capital in Ireland.— For instance, it was not to be expected that the individuals who at present contemplated the working of the mines in that coun try would risk large sums till they saw. whether-it was likely that the speculation would prove advantag,e.ous or not. It was quite impossible to suppose that they Woltid deposit four-fifths of the stipulated amount., till they ascertained whether or not two- fifths 'would be necessary. • The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that the four-fifths might be invested in the Funds, or in EPiircer I nis, for the use of the parties. The resolutions wouht - not have the effect of pre venting capital from going to Ireland, but of preventing per sons from speculating who had no capital at all. The amend ments were then agreed to, and the further consideration of the question, reserved for a future day (Wednesday next, as we understood). CATHOLIC PETITIONS. Earl GREY held a petition from certain Catholics in Ire land, assembled under the name of the Catholic Association.. They stated that they approached their Lordships with senti ments-of sincere respect and gratitude for the disposition which they had shown to inquire int o the grievances of Ireland, and that, convinced of the sincerity of that disposition, they came forward to explain the nature of those grievances. They de clared that the Union, instead ofrealizing had disappointed the , expectations which had led to i ts ta ki ng place; that none of the anticipated benefits had resulted from it, and that it had aggravated the evils of Ireland by the introduction of an addi tional one—the withdrawing of a great proportion of the pro prietors of the country, which had deprived the people of -the natural protectors, and of the beneficial influence of their moral example. They complained not only that the tythes were collected in an Injurious manner, but that it was a heavy grievance that seven-eighths of the population should be forced to contribute to the support of a Church from which they derived no advantage, but had recently received injury, greatly augmented by insult, contumely, and reproach. They of justice was pure and impartial, but complained that in the subordinate that in in the Court s, nof King' s B enc h th e a dministration Court questions between Catholics and Pro testants, nothing but injustice to the former was administered. They represented Corporations as a great evil to Catholics,. as causing them to be insulted and reproached, "and ;is producing oppression and faction. They stated that the com Plaints laid against Magistrates, more particularly at Waterford, had not been attended to, and they desired that, in confirmation of pa would call for the report of Ser sSed th e i r conv i c ti on th a t it wou ld be heaa vain at r l l redres s or f or a s ettl emen t o f dis turbances, unless the state of the income of the Church was looked into. They therefore prayed for a thorough reform of the Church; for the disfranchisement of all corporations which had violated their Charters ; for the removal of all Orangemen from the Magistracy, and for the abolition of all the disabi lities under which the Catholics laboured, by -general eman cipation l Such were the statements and prayer of that peti. tion. Before presenting it, he (Earl Grey) had read it atten tively to ascertain that it contained nothing informal and no language disrespectful to their Lordships. Beyond this he did not feel that his responsibility extended. He considered the duty of a Member of that House, with respect to the presenting of Petitions tube purely Ministerial, and that he should not he justified, because he differed from the statements or prayers of the Petitioners, - in denying them the means of access to that House, and of stating their grievances in the fullest manner, and the mode in which they conceived that redress might be obtained. He had said this, because in the present Petition, though he concurred in its main object, there were many state ments and prayers to which he could not agree. He had thought it.his duty to mention that to the Petitioners, and to put it to them whether they would not wish it to be presented by some other individual. But in their answer they had re quested him to present it, and to support it, as far as it was consistent with his own opinion ; in consequence of which be had now the honour of doing so. As to the main object of the Pe tition, namely, relief from those disabilities which still excluded Catholics from the benefits of the British Constitution, and kept them in a state of political degradation, lie had already stated that he entirely concurred. In his conscience he thought that those disabilities, as the Petition stated, were connected remotely and directly, with all the ev ils which afflicted Ireland. As far as their removal extended, therefore required both b y po li cy an d justice ' he agreed with the Peti tion ; and he earnestly hoped that the time would not be dis tant, when their Lordships would reconsider their former deci sions on that question. He should then certainly endeavour to support it with the same zeal - that he had already done. That this object should have been mixed up with others in the peti tion was to hi m a matter o f regr et. In prop ort i on as h e t h oug h t that the conc ession t e,in the ofh tCatholicsameproportion did h e di sa pp rove Claims w as a matter o f ex pediencyof the introduction of any subject calculated to increase the "difficulties attendant on that concession. He was sorry that some statements should have been made, which, he was con vinced were unfounded. After speaking of the violent con duct of Oran gemen, t h e pet i t i o ners stat e d f a l se l y, no d ou b t , that the Orange faction had the support and encourage ment of an Illustrious person. Now, he thought it most im proper to have introduced such an assertion at all; as he was convinced that the Illustrious individual alluded to, however he might differ with the petitioners and himself on that question; and feel'the necessity of withholding his assent from Bacon I9s od a 44s Od --s Od .--s od --s Od t 44: Od 46t od —sod ure. u; be! ushel lutes* laftef libel a 4 8 Sd a is 04 lioll--- 8s 6tl 41 Otlt r -s 3 Bet:0 , 3s tid I 5c 0 4 head , 7s 6J 1 1 Os a Os —Oats Os Od 7s 6J Os 04 EAST INDIA HOUSE, May 26, 1824. up to' alers, rance with. arley and sold 2 lat- a 525 a 4155 485 a 405 585 ► big :311 36 Oci -* od 7s od .o 1 od ?9 od is Od •s od rain and ,ther 'egs, star- L 46 I 405 ,2135 , ..-s --s vith ling for rter era- i od I od od od ack ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, December 80, ISM NAVAL HALF-PAY.

Secretary. f, 4",;.;.; • • - • it, felt it as a pahVal necessity, and that the natural benevo knee of his heart would otherwise dispose . him to e xtend the blessings of the British Constittition to all classes of his Ma jesty's subjects, instead of encouraging any particular associa tion of men to oppress the other part of the community.. NV1:11 respect to the prayer of the petition, he conceived the petition ers to have been very ill-advised. Whatever might be the ex pediency of some future measure with respect to the restoration of their civil rights, it was not good policy in them to connect it with a thorough reform of Corporations and the Church. But whilst he regretted that the language of this petition should be so different from that of preceding ones, be did not think it a matter of surprise. It was one of the results of that sys tern of misgovernment which, by fomenting and exciting civil and religious animosities in Ireland, had produced the dreadful anomaly of a kingdom possessed of so many advan tages, overwhelmed with misery and despair, and a 'source' of weakness instead of one of stre n g t h t o this country. When he saw a country rich in all the gifts of Heaven, and a people I lively, grateful,' and humane, quck to resent ,an insult, but quicker still to acknowledge a benefit, a e)eopie warm hearts and high feelings, reduced to the state of the people of Ireland he knew it must proceed from the maladministra tion of centuries. This evil had been much aggravated by the state of the present Administration. It showed the world an happy instance of the effects of a divided Government. By one part of the Administration the hopes of the Catholics were excited, by the other the fears of the Protestants were alarmed. Both parties were thus brought into the field, the one eager to advance, the other determined to resist. Such a state of excitation had never before existed in Ireland itself, and could hardly be regarded in any other light than as the forerunner of greater calamities. Ile felt the wish of obtain ing relief for the Catholics, but he felt too that any attempt on his part would be attended with a different result from that which he should have in view. He should therefore rest con tented with moving that this petition be read, and afterwards that it be laid on their Lordships' table. lie should,only add, that he hoped that an account of what he had said respecting the causes of irritation in Ireland, he should not be considered as standing up in that House to excuse any intemperance of language in any party. No intemperance of language or vio lence of conduct, no secret associations, whether Protestant or Catholic, would ever find favour with, or appology from him.— At the same time it appeared to him that if any allowance were to be made, it ought to he made in favour of those who, feeling themselves injured, and labouring under a load of oppression, might be excused for showing greater sensibility. The Noble Earl, after repeating that it was not his intention to propose any measure respecting the Catholics this Session, moved that the petition be read.—Agreed to. The Clerk of the House then began reading the petition, when it appeared that it was written on disjointed sheets. The LORD CHANCELLOR put it to the House whether it could be received in that state ? The Earl of LAUDERDALE was understood to say that it would be against the standing orders. After a short conversation with the LORD OHANCELLOR and the Earl of HATutownY, Earl GREY withdrew the peti tion the present. The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented petitions from nu mews and highly respectable bodies of Catholics in the Coun ties of Limerick and Wexford, and stated that they were ex pressed in most proper language and in the most respectful manner, prayed merely for relief their present disabilities. Read, and laid on the table.. Lord HOLLAND also presented a petition from the Ca tholics of New Ross and its neighourhood, and had the satis faction to state that its language was unobjectionable, and that they had confined themselves to praying for admission to all the privileges of the British Constitution.—Read, and laid on the table. OFFICES IN THE REVENUE. The Earl of LIVERPOOL presented the Bill, of which he had given notice some days since, to regulate the Oaths to be taken by persons serving in the Excise. He hid then stated that the.necessity of the . aleration proposed, arose from a very beneficial arrangement which had lately been made with the sanction of Parliament to consolidate the Irish and English Ex cises. Ile certainly feared no danger from the concession which was to be made, even had. not circumstances rendered it neces sary. He had framed his hill in such 'a way as to render the law uniform on the subject, and not to confine the change to the Excise, but to extend it to all Offices of the Revenue, with the exception of the General Board's. The effect of the Tina.: sure would be to require no oath to be taken except that of allegiance and that of office. The Noble Earl then moved the firstntthe NSDOWN expressed his satisfaction' a this measure, which would do in a direct d l it had' been found necessary to do in aThe reei,ga introduction reading Marquisua o en f oe h ornef of Bill.t, ia an indirect one. It now appeared that two out of the three objects which he (the Marquis of Lansdown) had proposed a few days since in his Catholic Bill which had been rejected, were completely admitted by the House. For not one Noble Lord had objected to allowing the Duke of Norfolk to exercise the duties of Earl Marshal, and it was now clear that there was no objection to relieve Officers of the Revenue from taking the Test Oath. Lord KING reproved his Noble Friend for rejoicing at the introduction of that Bill, as if he was sure that it would pass. Though coming from the Noble Earl opposite, that was by no means certain. Anarchy and insurrection prevailed in the camp, and if that was the redoubtable Commander who talked of marching to Paris, " Quantum mutatus ab illo !" If he wished to carry his Bill, let him not address those little notes Which sometimes issued from the Treasury to tell of attend. ance and second readings, to his own friend ; " False as they are fair, Do not send them there." The Bill was then read a first time. Lord CALTHORPE presented a petition from the inhabi tants of Birmingham, praying for the adoption of determined, temperate, and judicious measures, attended with a fair consi deration of the interests of the Colonists, to place the black po pulation of the West Indies, and of the English possessions on the continent of America , in the en joyment of the same rights as other British subjects.—Read and laid on the table. WELSH JUDICATURE. Lord CAWDOR, after entering into a history of the Ad ministration of Justice in Wales since the time of Henry VIII. moved, " that the House resolve itself into a Committee, with the view of proposing three Resolutions to the following effect: Ist, That the present state of the Administration of Justice in Wales, is inadequate to the real ends of justice. 2dly. That this arises from the local and unlimited authority of the .Judge; and thirdly, that such an addition be made to the number of English Judges as will allow of Wales being included within the circuit. The LORD CHANCELLOR contended that the adminis tration of justice in Wales could not be so deficient as it had been represented, as in 40 years there had not been more than five or six suits in Equity from that country, and not one ap peal to that House. He wished to show the Noble Lord all due respect, but he could not assent to his motion. The Marquis of LANSDOWN and the Marquis of Bu•ra sup ported the motion. • The House divided— Contents - - - - o - . - Non-Content* 14 Majority against the Motion - —8 The Earl of SHAFTESBURY was required by a Noble Friend to fix the second reading of the Irish Tithes Bill for next Friday.—Adjourned at a Quarter before Nine o'Clock.

CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Mr. PLUNKETT rose to present a petition from certain Roman Catholics of Ireland, praying for a removal of the legal disabilities under which they laboured. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman observed, that in presenting this petition, he might as well state to the House, that he had no intention to go into the general question on this subject during the Present Session, or to invite any discussion upon it, on the petition he was about to introduce to the House. The pe titioners warmly expressed their loyalty and affection for his Majesty's person, and their gratitude for the grace and kind ness he skewed them during his visit to their country; and added that they relied upon his Majesty's Royal word to discourage all religious discord ; and that they still relied upon that word, although they had been opprobriously treated by a faction, and even insulted by a Dignitary of the Church. He was sorry to find these expressions in the petition, because he feared they had a tendency to revive those dissentions which it could net but be the interest of the petitioners themselves to set at rest. In every other sentiment expressed by the petition he heartily concurred. The petitioners, complained that power at d honaur were enjoyed by only a few, and that this exclusive power in duced pride and contempt in its possessors towards all others. The general language, indeed the whole, with the exception he had mentioned, was correct and moderate, and such as he highly approved of. ft was signed by POO per, ns, and was therefore not the petition of the general body of Catholics. It was as the petition of those individuals alone that tie presented it. He thought it proper thus distinctly to express himself, to avoid any possible misapprehension. Ile disclaimed any connection with any body of people whatever in Ireland. With regard to the present petition, he should merely move that it be printed. He did not, as he before observed, intend to found any motion upon it this Session. On this important question he had al. ways exercised, and always should exercise his own unbiassed judgment ; and lie was induced to forbear making any motion this session, because he believed it would be unavailing. Still, his opinion on the subject was unaltered ; and that opinion was formed upon a matured and dispassionate judgment. Indeed, if he had any prejudice at all on the question, it would not be a prejudice in favour of these petitioners. It would rather be the other way. He was convinced of the justice of the cause of the peritieners, of its urgency, aul of its ultimate success.— ; (Hear, hear 1)--He was convinced that it was absolutely certain ' it would succeed sconer or later ; that its success was indeed as d p i l s 'y cu si & ca si l on ca t ii p se o s n . th tl e e su r b e - - p c e e r a t t a e i d n t a h s a a t n y h e e v h e a n d t d h e e p e w n i d s ihn to draw uponject at that moment. His only desire was to state his own -in dividual opinion. He concluded by moving that the petition' be brought up. The petition was accordingly brought up, read, and ordered to lie on the table, and be print d. A Message from the Lords here announced their Lordships' . assent to several Pills. - INSURRECTION ACT. Lord PA LMERSTON brought up the first report of the Committee on the Insurrection Am—Ordered to lie on the . table. GOUI,BURN then gave notice that to-morrow he should move the renewal of the above Act. _ _ Mr. ABERCItOMBY objected to the taking so serious a measure on so short a notice. There would not be time to read the evidence. Mr. CALCRA FT also objected to the shortness of the notice: Mr. Secretary PEEL said the short notice for the first mo tion was of little importance.; as the Bill would not be pressed to a second reading until time had been given for a considera tion of the papers Mr. ABERCROM BY said that time for consideration was now more necessary than ever, as the Bill had, in former cases. been brought in under the authority of Ministers, while it was now proposed to introduce it on the authority of a Committee of the House. IRISH MALT DUTY. Sir HENRY PARNELL presented a petition from several maltsters of Ireland against the Irish Malt Duty.—Ordered in lie on the table, after a few words from Mr. HERMES and Sir JOHN NEWPORT. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. 1 Mr. BROWNLOW said the petition he held in his hand re lated to the Roman Catholic Association of Dublin ; and is consequenet of some remarks made a short time since by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, he trusted it would at tract the attention of Government as well as that of the House. He should call upon Government to exercise the powers they legally possessed, in order to restore peace to Ireland if it exercise would be seen from the statement he should make to distinctrr he m e n o o c o v e rn rrunt'sfeiofinrgit; the House. He was authorized, by a respectable Friend of were really possible to do so , his own, to state that the present Petition had been prepared k with a scrupulous attention to facts, and that each signature was affixed by the person whose name the signatuirieunrrreceit. sented.
