(THIS DAY.) CHRISTIAN EVIDENCE SOCIETY. The Reverend Robert Taylor, whose case came before the Court visterday, and which will be found in another column, was brought up 'twain this day. A preliminary objection was made to the petitioner's swearing on the Holy Scriptures, he being an.avowed Deist ; and on that objection the case stood over. Upon the -insolvent being brought up this day, the book was put into his hand; and the oath , ad ministered t o hi m i n t h e usua l f orm . It was taken by Mr. T. without any manifestation of reluctance. Mr. Commission e r LAW then observed that since yesterday he had give' the questioe, which was mooted, his best consideration, and the result was, that he thought the petitioner might be sworn in the usual manner, notwithstanding his peculiar opiniens and avowed disbelief of the doctrines of the Christian Church. In this opinion he was strength ened by looking into the books, in which he found it had been laid down in some cases of scrupulous conscience, that a Deist might be sworn on the-New Testament, provided he acknowledged his legal responsibilities. Mr. POLLOCK did not wish to press his objection, as he . was sure that the Court had come advisedly to the - decision, that the petitioner might be sworn.— As Counsel for the opposing creditors, however, lie had considered, it his d u ty to start t h e o bj ect i on. The - petitioner's case was then entered upon, Mr. HALcomn appearing in his behalf, and Mr. Pomocx for the opposing creditors. The debt on which the insolvent was arrested, was a bill for 700/. passed to a person named May, with whom the insolvent was about to commence a school. near Bristol ' ' but as he had been deprived, h e sa id un j ust l y, of theadvantages he might have derived from.the speculation, he. did not consider himself bound to pay the bill, and had taken defence to an action brought against hint to recover its amount. The insolvent underwent a long examination by Mr. POLLOCK, and stated that he had no expecta tion of any property, reversionary or otherwise ; never received the acceptance now produced from a person named Edmund May ; believes the ac ceptance now produced to be a forgery. The peti tioner was here handed a bill, which he stated he had passed to Mr. May in 1820 ; had various transactions with May, with whom he was about to commence partnership in a large school; petitioner was in possession of the school for some time ; be lieves in " good faith," and estimates it as highly as any man ; does not consider in good faith that he owes any person a shilling; considers his oath was taken in good faith ; petitioner knows Mr. Florence th e solicitor of Finsbury-square; does not owe him any Money; Mr. Florence defended an action against petitioner, and petitioner paid 61. for the costs in curred in the action. Does not consider that he owes Mr. Florence any thing for his services, which were given through friendship. Has never received any bill from Florence, but has frequently met him in the streets, and he never hinted to witness that he considered him his debtor. Mr. Commissioner LAW said it was quite clear that Mr. Florence was a creditor, and as such, notice ought to be served on him, and his name inserted in the insolvent's schedule. • Insolvent examined Mr. HALCOMB—Has made every, inquiry to find out where Mr. Florence re slues, but was unsuccessful. Believes he is now in e mbarrassed circumstances, but has often met him In the streets. Mr. Watson, a clerk to the detaining creditors Prod uce d a copy o f a bill o f costs amounti ng to 46/: th e expence to which the parties had been put in t he action which the insolvent had defended. _ Th e insolvent, in his examination, stated that he ~c ° nßidered the bill had been fraudulently obtained 'ln him. This was the reason which induced him t o defend the action on his honour. M. PoLtAwx said it was not .on honour bnt on °ath, that testimony was given in a Court, Of law. Mr. Taylor.--Not always on honour, I believe. In another part of the examination, Mr? Taylor , 8 proceeding to reflect on the conduct of some 0 his creditors whom he characterised'as swindlers, Ivh en he was interrupted by the Court, and informed that h e must con fi ne hi mse lf t o answer i ng th e ques ilo;! put by the Counsel. The examination having concluded, Mr. POLLOCK su bmitted that the evidence went to prove that the '' s olvent had taken a vexatious defence to the action br °Hight by his detaining creditors, and was not there fore entitled to the relief which the Act provided. The Court overruled the objection, and the peti t. 'oner's case was directed to stand over to obtain the co nsent of Mr. Florence. RICHMOND THEATRICALS.

John 114Wonald was indicted for stealing six silver tea-spoons, the - goods of Phoebe Fogarth. Pbcebe Fogarth, an aged female, of respectable appearance, examined—Lives at 18, Dorset-street; keeps a fancy shop; :on the morning of the robbery, she had left the spoons in question on the breakfast table; two men entered the shop at the time, one of whom was the prisoner ; his companion asked for a pennyworth of quills; while witness, went round by a long counter to give them to him, she missed the prisoner, and in a few minutes after saw him come out of the parlour in which she had left the spoons; 'he immediately ran into the street, accom panied by the man Who had come in with him ; wit ness cried out." Stop thief;" immediately pursued and took him into custody at the corner of Fre derick-street, but did not find the spoons on him. Mr. BENNETT (prisoner's Counsel), apparently to a Solicitor who sat next him, mentioned the words—" 7000—" Peter Oates." 'Witness (in a passion)—l know nothing about 700/. ; I came here for the sake' of public justice, and will not be in sulted by such observations; you are a rogue and a liar, . so you are." COURT—L.Hearken, witness, listen to the Court, you are now on your solemn oath. Witness —.I am not; I don't care about the Court. (To Mr. B—) How dare you insult .me ; you are a bad ma'n ; you came here to side with a rogue, and make you confess it. Witness cross-examined by Mr. BENNETT---Sh e is a widoW; does not know whether there is ally other widow in Dublin whose husband is alive.— (Laughter.) Is sure her's is dead. Counsel—On your oath, where is Mr. Fogarth now ? Witness—" I hope he is in glory, where you'll never be."—(Laughter.) Counsel—Well, we will say nothing 'more about the 700/. Witness—You may tell all you know about it. Counsel—Well, I will, since you desire it. On your oath were you ever charged by a man of the name of Peter Oates with robbing him of 700/. ? Witness—Never, upon my oath. • Counsel—Are you not short-sighted ? Witness —My sight is not very good. Counsel—Very well. Witness—Very well, your self.—(Laughter.) • Counsel—Will . you swear that the prisoner at the bar is one of the two persons who entered your shop on the morning in question ? Witness—l swear that he is the person whom I caught and brought back to my shop on that morning. Counsel—That won't do. How old are you ? Witness—(Apparently on the verge of 70)—I P.m upwards of 15.—(Laughter.) Counsel—Tell me precisely what may be your age ? Witness—l'll not swear to my age. • Counsel—Why ? •do you expect to get another husband ? Witness—Aye, half a dozen. , • COunsel—Were you ever married to Peter Oates?

Witness--I cross cutted him, but you may let the rogue run away now. Counsel—Well, Mrs. Fogarth; not give you any further trouble at present.—WitnesS : Indeed I believe it is better for you not; but I'll give you further trouble, indeed I ;will—you--(going off the table).

Seveiid Letters and Census Returns were read. Catholic Rent since last return 504 Gd. SEPARATE, MEETING OF CATHOLICS. COUNSELLOR FOGARTY, in the Chair. Mr. CONWAY addressed the Chair in a few words. After reading the Requisition which convened the Meeting, he said it fell to his lot, as the originator of the measure, to . lay before them a Resolution, which, he thought, called for by the present circum stances of the Country, as well as by the position in which the Catholics stood, in regard to their political friends. His resolution, in the formation of which the gentlemen whose names were signed to the Re quisition concurred, would, be a declaration as to the necessity of pressing the Catholic Petition at am early, period next 'Session. He would not dilate on the reasons which influenced the Requisitionists to come.to this resolution;as the argument would rest in far better hands—those of his Learned Friend, Mr. Sheil, who would second the motion.—(Cheers.) —He then read the Resolution to the above effect. Mr. SUM. was received, in rising, with immense cheers. He, said the present crisis was of great im portance to the Catholics; although the immediate time for .petitioning was not arrived, the time for beginning to concentrate the energies of the country was, now; they would have to consider the effect of the Resolution now proposed would have on the English mind and on the Legislature; but while they ought to conciliate the English prejudices, and con sult their pride, they should sutler no relaxation of the public mind ; postponement and moderation have , already been tried in vain. Mr.' Sheil then entered into a history of the Catholic Associations, from the year_ 1521, and showed the good effects which arose &dna a perseyeranee in continued efforts. He might be told that it would embarrass theirfriends in the Cabinet, but he would not say the Catholics were not yet so reduced as to be like the prisoners in the black-hole of Calcutta, who were let to perish lest the Raja should be awoke out of his. sleep. He (Mr. Sheil) would say rather " awake England with this knocking." At all hazards, he would. persevere ; if he was to be treated as a dog, he would rather be chained as the bull-dog, than beaten as the fawning spaniel.—(Hear.)—He urged a communication to be kept up with the Parish Priests; which, through those learned men would bringthe whole mass of the popular tion of Ireland into one moral movement—he desired to be understood as not meaning the' physical but the moral strength of the people; he thought the peo ple should not approach Parliament in the attitude of a political Paul Pry, and say—" Ha my Lords. we hope we don't intrude." They should come for ward like men demanding to be free—they should come respectfully, and show the Legislature the raal state of the country and the unanimity of her people, and then they should draw themselves up erect and demand their liberty. He did not in the slightest degree suspect the present Ministry, on the contrary, he reposed his complete.confidence in them, but although he had confidence in Lord Lansdowne, in Mr. Tierney, in Lord Glsiderich--yet, there was one thing he had still more confidence in than even these—lie had more confidence in the spirit and union of seven millions of Irishmen. Mr. DWYER .congratylateh the meeting on the re appearance of Mr. Sheil. He said he would rather appeal to the good sense, than the fears of England, and doubted the propriety of strong language in ap pealing to the physical force of the country. Mr. WOOLP, after a protracted • call from the. Meeting, came forward and saidthat: after the splendid speech of Mr. Sheil, he had nothing to say upon the question before the chair, but he would . simply remark, that . he 'thought Mr. Dwyer boured under a mistake in his conception of the lan guage - of Mr. Shell's, speech, in which' he (Mr. W.) heard nothing that could be in the remotest manner construed into a threat towards England. He would reiterate, that England would at length be foreed_to grant justice to Ireland; but he did not mean by the cannon or pike, but by the force of events—by the natural strength of the cause it self. Situated as Ireland is; ,she cannot use a cold and a tame Janguage, which would, in fact, be con strued into a luke-warmness on her part; he never knew an instance where a man considered the Ca tholic Question attentively, that he did not see the justice and necessity of granting those claims ; or if he entered into the subject full of bigotry, who did not loose the .most, if not all, of the uncharitable feeling as he proceeded : when compulsion towards England is mentioned, it could be no other than moral compulsion that c9uld be meant. He en tirely agreed with his' friendl Mr. Conway and Mr. Sheil on the necessity of the immediate and con stant agitation of the Catholic Question in Parlia- Ment. Ireland could not retrograde—she could not stand still. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to demonstrate, by strong facts, the growing wealth of the Irish Catholics, and its great increase Within the last twenty years, and drew from the conclusion that it combined with the growing intelligence of the people what would work emancipation, even tually. : _ _ _ Mr. SyEtr, explained at some length, after which the Meeting, which was extremely full; adjourned. There were several English' Gentlemen present. —Dublin Evening Post.

The great traffic on the road from Kensington to Hounslow will admit of the road projected, and it is said the coach-masters will be ready to promote the undertaking, for the Purpose of avoiding the great in jury their property sustains in the passage through the narrow rough ways of Brentford. The intended read is to pass near the house of Sir R. Birnie, at Acton-green. The walls of the Old College Library are now almost completely levelled, though the rubbish is not en tirely carried away.

MOUNT VERNON, MAY 16, 1785. Dear,Sir,—ln for a penny, in for a pound, is an old adage. lam so hackneyed to the touches of the painter's pencil, that I am now altogether at their beck, and sit like patience on a monument, whilst they are delineating the lines on my face. It a proof among others, of what habit and custom can effect. At first I was as impatient at the request, and as restive under the operation, as a colt is of the saddle. The next time I submitted very rehictantly, but with less flouncing. Now, no dray moves more readily to the thills than I do to the painter's chair. It may easily be conceived, therefore, that I yielded a ready obedience to' your request, and to the views of Mr. Pine. Letters from. England, recommendatory of that gentleman, came to my hands previous to his arrival in America—not only as an artist of acknowledged eminence, but as one who had discovered a friendly disposition towards this country, for which, it seems, lie had been marked. It gave me pleasure to hear from you ; I shall always feel an interest in your happiness; and with Mrs. Washington's compliments and best wishes, joined to my own, for Mrs. Hopkinson and yourself, I am, dear Sir, your most obedient and affectionate humble servant, GEORGE WASHINGTON.

A scene of the busiest nature presented itself here to-day, but although the goldfinches and waste paper were flying about lice chaff, still a great many of the nobs were back ward in coming forward, and the consequence was, that " the little" and the " middle men" were not prepared to square their engagements. This failure, however, may be attributed to the " big ones" not having all arrived in town. Thursday, however, will be decisive, and it would be un- Lir to announce any defaulters at present. Many who had settled at Doncaster were left in the lurch here, and the usual assortments of long faces was the natural result.— The winners might be selected by the waggery of their movements, and a distinguished loser was observed with one of his *hiskers the wrong way upwards. The only bets made were these : DERBY. —'7 to 1 agst The Colonel. Sr. Li:GER.—The Colonel is first favourite, but no odds offered-2,600 to 200 agst Bessy Bedlam (taken); 2,000 to 50 agst The Colonel, for Derby and St. Leger (taken).

THE NEW REFORMATION.—It is not enough to spew that under existing circumstances the re formation could not have succeeded ; we can also show from data, that it has not. The Mail of last night esti mated the whole amount of converts at 2,015 persons. We were given five years to convert the whole of the Ca tholics—half that period is passed—we had seven millions to convert—and behold only 2,015 ! Let this, too, be con tracted with the numbers as reported in the Catholic p a pers, who returned to that faith, or. embraced it from Prot~tantism, and we shall have, i n d ee d, a miserable his toryrt(taoflnls the vaunted new reformation. It would be o crind ria ; the project of the new reformation has failed, and can never succeed until prose cutedltt signally ly upon very different principles. Men must be civi lized by good government, and conciliated by justice, be fore they can be converted from religious error. Those w h o ar e sincere in this object—who truly rely upon the efficacy and force of Gospel truth; will reject the support of the statutes of Queen Anne.

So far as the city news may be trusted, it does not appear that the last advices, via Paris, have stated the departure of the Allied Mini sters from the Turkish capital. It is unques- . tionable that the demand of a categorical answer. from the Porte, announced in the joint note delivered to. the Reis Effendi on the 16th of August, prescribes a shorter period for delibera tion than had been specified in the treaty under the general provisions of which the Ambassa dors were authorised to act. The treaty allowed the Divan a month, the note but fifteen days. Of course the limitation of the time originally agreed upon must, we take for granted, have been the result of instructions particular or gene ral, either commanding distinctly that such a deviation from the words of the treaty should be made at all events, .or vesting the Ministers with discretionary power, to tighten the reins upon his Mahometan Majesty, it circumstances should render it .desirable. For diplomatic agents to act without any instructions, much more to exercise their free agency in manifest encroachment on the terms of a solemn compact between their respective Governments, is a course which may by possibility have been pursued, but which is neither usual nor probable. Some persons in the city appear to think, that the pe remptory requisition by the Ambassadors, of a reply to their communication in 15 days, was meant only to ascertain the temper of the Porte, and in case of its refusal of the allied proposals, that the remaining 15 days provided in the treaty itself were to be employed in endeavours to en- . lighten or mollify his Highness.—lt is likewise .. affirmed, that there would be no excuse for the Ambassadors, whatever the terms of their first note (viz., that on the 16th of August), in leaving or proposing .- to leave Constantinople before the 30 slap allowed by the. treaty. — We are not qualified to form a decided opinion either way, where full materials, as in the present case, are not before us.— We cannot, therefore, assert or deny, that the note of the 16th ultimo was merely intended to feel the pulse of the Grand Seignior ; but if such was the design of Mr. Stratford Canning and his colleagues, they un doubtedly began by a somewhat violent gripe of his Imperial Majesty's arm. Besides, it had been previously ascertained—with, indeed, much more precision thin Eastern diplomacy in ge- • neral uses to convey its sentiments—what was the policy avowed by the Porte with regard to the expected interference of the Christian Powers between her and the Greek insurgents. The Manifesto of Turkey had already appeared, . having been officially made public. This paper was drawn with much subtlety of argument and force of language, and indicated, with great ap parent resolution what would be the system of the Ottoman Government. To the same Ma nifesto the Minister of Turkey has since referred as containing the principles and bases of his Master's policy ; at the same time the Christian Ambassadors may have had reason to suspect for ought we know, that the Sublime Porte was not in earnest, and might, in consequence, have written their before-mentioned note of the 16th, as a civil mode of putting the old Irish insinua tion—,, May be your Honour's only joking with us after all." With regard to another sup . position—viz. that the Ambassadors would have no excuse for leaving Constantinople before the expiration of the 30 days, although they might • by note have implied their intention of doing so at the end of 15,—we willingly agree that if, by remaining at Constantinople for twice 30 days, they. felt any reasonable assurance of effecting the y g ilI to i objects of the treaty, without having recourse to the extremities of war, or incurring the risk which must attend the commencement of every war,—namely, that of its incalculable prolonga tion and extension afterwards,—they would, of' enteredrnsition with the all men on earth, be the. most unpardonable for refusing so small a. sacrifice. The two questions in that case are, would delay be a probable means of sueceeding---and were they permitted to remain? But if positive blame should be imputed to the British Minister,—for whose re putation only it imports us to feel,—in enat he thought fit to leave Constantinople at one period rather than another, the latter and. longer peri9d being that which was indicated as the utmost limit pec t s o f ioilf forbearance wi:isctrhu cct ieo t i o ii:su b ,r e e b shown yeoldi ledpbayr attacht i l n i i g s taot mt the end Govern ment to that of Turkey, there are but two re- Canning as a public functionary-1.

Let us also recollect that the period of thirty days forms part of what was to be held in the light of a secret article, of which the Porte could take no cognizance until it had been for mally communicated by the Ministers, of the Allied Powers. We have gone into this argu ment, merely to keep the subject open, and to sa ve the British Minister, in the absence of sence of facts, from being prejudged by friends or enemies. Times.
