VESTRY MEETING OF ST. ANDREW'S, HOLBORN-NEW CHURCHES. At eleven o'clock this morning a numerous Meeting of the Inhabitants of the above Parish took place at the New Vestry Room, for the purpose a communication of taking into consideration Win received by the Churchwardens from his Majesty's Commissioners for building additional Churches isopulous parishes, announcing their intention of pro viding a site, and erecting a chapel thereon, at their own "Pelriee, in the Saf f ron-Hill district. Also another com- Inunleation, requiring the Churchwardens to provide a site for a New Church, which the Commissioners intend build- A g in th e U pper Liberty of the said Parish, by virtue of an ct, 5 8th, of his late Majesty. The Senior Churchwarden being called to the chair, and the communication read to the Meeting, a most stormy and lengthened discussion followed and the following Re solution was at length proposed and seconded : " That hi s M a j esty ' s Commissioners having announced their intention of building a new Chapel in the Saffron R ill District, their liberal offer he accepted." This was instantly followed by the subjoined Amend- Tent, " That this Meeting adopt the Resolution passed in Sep eaber, 1826, that they d ec li ne h av i ng any t hi ng to do her, with building or providing sites for any new Churehes or Chapels in their Parish." varr T , l te A.Mendment, on being put from the Chair, was Thanunanimously, amid s t lo u d c h eers . h. .

Two other correspondents, however, s v hd re _ side n early in the centre of the district from whence the bulk of the North Clay hops are derived, state that it is their opinion the fly has diminished exceedingly, and that the blues, though later than they have been in almost any pre ceding year, are tolerably healthful and vigorous, and they have run higher up withi n the last week or ten days, the poles within the same space of time than they haye ever observed any to do before.

PIIILOSOPHY IN SPORT MADE SCIENCE EARNEST ;. • BEING AN ATTEMPT TO ILLUSTRATE THE FIRST PRINCI PLES OF, NATURAL. rifilosOPHY BY THE AID OF POPULAR TOYS AND SPORTS. .—_LONDON : LONGMAN.-1827. This is a very amusing and singularly useful composition, blending the charms of novelty with the treasures of instruction. We have not had time to enter into all the merits of this cu rious work, but from what we have glanced at, we are enabled to pronounce it a rare treat for the youthful mind, and a sweet desert for intel lects of a higher order. The author evidently appears to be quite at home in his subject—or rather in the rich variety of subjects, comprising in one round of pleasurable amusements, all the sports and toys of happy boyhood and delighted adolescence. The author does not profess to be original in his idea,, for others have combined amusement with the repulsive rules of learning to young minds, but in his man ner of introducing—explaining and inculcating —the beauty or utility of each particular sub ject, he is entirely original. His stylels at once simple—chaste—and peculiarly engaging—steal ing upon the imagination while it delights the judgment. The various sports "so dear to children," and the higher style of amusements, which occasionally lead wiser heads astray, are delineated with a masterly hand. The whole is bound together by a slight story which infuses spirit into the composition,while the interest is well sustained by the variety of scene and happyillus tration of character. Our remarks at present apply to the-work generally, but we shall take an early opportunity of paying it a more particular notice. We had almost omitted to state, that a great deal of deep and learned research is ex hibited throughout, and that in a manner so unassuming and agreeably familiar, that the won dering boy will at once recognize in the gifted author— 3 VOL.i " His guide, philosopher, and friend." The work is diversified by several episodes of lively or instructive character, and the tendency of the wftle is agreeably instructive.—A num ber of very spirited cuts illustrate the work-- they are executed by Cruikshank in his best man ner—and that's saying enough. The following is a good illustration of an Old Maid's tea party : " Did you observe," said the vicar, " the fiery glance of the dragon's eve? Oculis micat acribus ig" nis,' as Virgil has it." " When the female tongue is silenced," replied Mrs. Seymour, " the eye is the only thoroughfare left for our rage; and if the demon cannot find an exit through the usual portal, it is better that it should escape through the window. " True," 'said her husband ; " but the breast of Miss Kitty is the residence of several demons, most of whom are as handmaids to that restless spirit, curiosity : if that could once be lulled into repose, malignity and her train world expire from want of occupation." " Remember that," said Mrs. Seymour to her daughters : " I agree with your papa in regarding restless curiosity as the bane of the female character. Miss Marjory Noodle ton and Miss Phillis Tapps are certainly as inquisitive as Miss Ryland or Miss Puttle, but they are by no means so malicious," added Mrs. Seymour. " There is not a shade of difference," cried Mr. Seymour, " in any member of the coterie ; they are all equally active, though differently engaged in the manufacture of their poisoned arrows : the one furnishes the raw material, the second forges it into form, the third sharpens and arms its point, and the fourth supplies it with wings." " It is certainly extraordinary," said Mrs. Seymour, " with what ingenuity and address they collect, and then distort, every incident in a family." . Louisa enquired by what means they were enabled to ob tain all their information. " My love," replied her father, " you have just heard of the superstition which attaches to Overton well ; I will now relate a history no less wonderful, but far more true. Miss Kitty Ryland belongs to a sisterhood, who, by the aid of certain spells, are enabled to disco,-e. the secret his tory of erery person who ventures to approach their mystic circle ; nay, they even assume to themselves the power of prophecy. and that of casting the destinies of their ac quaintances." " What can you mean ?" exclaimed Louisa. 4 ‘ Hear my story :—you must know, then, that they reriodieally assemble at each other's houses, for the perform ance of their gloomy rites."— " At twelve o'clock at night, I dare say," said Louisa. " No, my love, never later than five o'clock in the after noon ; when, having arranged themselves in a circle, a damsel, dressed in her best apparel for the occasion, enters with the sacred vessels, and arranges them in great order on a tripod, or altar, previously placed for their reception. The ceremony now commences : the mistress of the house, in which they may happen to assemble, performs the duties of officiating priestess, and having placed before her the cauldron in which the mystic ingredients are to be pre pared, she proceeds to collect from a cabinet of silver, or ebony, a number of leaves gathered in the remotest corner of the globe ; but these, unlike those of the Cumwan Sibyl, which, as Mr. Twaddleton will inform you, served to in terpret the decrees of the Priestess of Apollo, are designed to exhilarate and inspire the prophetesses of Overton ; and, instead of becoming the sport of lEolus, are consigned to the nymph of the well, whom Vulcan has previously warmed by his addresses, and prepared for the requisite duties. The incantation having been thus far accom plished, the inspiring liquor is transfused into subordinate vessels"— " And what can they do with it ?" said Louisa, whose attention had been painfully riveted to the subject. " You shall hear; —it is first impregnated with the type of hypocrisy, and thn consigned to a cavern"— " To the wolf's glen, I suppose," exclaimed Louisa, who had been just reading the romance of Der Freischutz. " You are right, my dear ; that is its appropriate name." " But who carries it thither ?" enquired Louisa. " Two twin spites," said Mr. Seymour, " who are the emblems of avarice ; shrivelled in aspect, and meagre in form, ever active and vigilant in seizing the property of others, •but never known to relax their hungry grasp, though famine should solicit their mercy." "Horrible !" cried Fanny. " Pray proceed, papa," said Louisa. " The female minister, whom I have before mentioned, now advances with solemn step, and presents to each of the demons a scroll, previously prepared for the occasion by a peculiar species of varnish, and which, from the ex treme caution displayed in its application, may be sup posed to be rare and costly ; these scrolls are eagerly car ried off by the aforesaid sprites, in order that they may be deposited in the cavern above described ; but they rarely reach th e i r d est i nat i on in safety, being generally torn i n pieces by aged skeletons which stray about the entrance of the den. The sprites, in compliance with prescriptive usage, appear in ancient robes of white leather ; but, on preparing to carry their offerings to the cavern, they usually divest themselves of these shackles of vanity, throw down the gauntlet , like true knight erran t s , an d proceed to the discharge of their duties in a primeval state of nu dity ! The influence of these mysterious rites is first ma nifested in the coentenances of the sisterhood ; th e i r f ea ture s gradually become distorted by a malignant sm il e , an d, a f ter a short interval, the name, or frequently on l y some circum stance connected with the history of the victim, is pro nounced in a whispering mutter from the cavern ; the eyes of the presiding priestess now flash fire,—the blood fenlakes her cheeks,---and a torrent of invective bursts from her quivering :lips: like the Pythian priestess, she raves and utters sentences so dark in their meaning, that those alone initiated in the mystery can scan their omin ous import." _ _ " 'Wonderful !" said Louisa. " Most mysterious !" cried Fanny. " Unintelligible !" exclaimed Tom, as he rose from the bank, upon which he had been reclining. " Most excellent !" said Mr. Twaddleton, who had very soon discovered the meaning of the speaker. " Uncharitable," observed Mrs. Seymour; " if qll our errors were thus magnified by the magic mirror of allegory, which of us would appear spotless?" " I confess," said Louisa, " that to inc all this is a per fect mystery : if Mr. Twaddleton understands it, and I conclude from his arch smile that he is in the secret, I wish lie would be so obliging as to enlighten us." "My dear," exclaimed ber:mOther, yoa are really un usually dull this morning ;—your papa has been merely describing what the maiden ladies of Overton call a sociable cup of tea."-- " A ,nd xvli;eh " f1d,1.41 Mr. Seymour. , g thov into a - vehicle for the most abinninahle scandal ;—you surely now comprehend it, Louisa?-.--' The sacred vessels' are no other than the tea things the tripod,' the maho gany table the mystic cauldron,' the tea-pot;—' the damsel of neat attire,' a maid servant of six pounds per annum ;—' the leaves gathered in the remotest corner of the globe,' six shilling Bohea;—the ' nymph of the well favoured by Vulcan,' boiling water the wolf's glen,' the hungry jaws of Miss Kitty and her cronies;.—' the twin sprites,' her shrivelled hands the ancient robes of white leather,' kid gloves, over which Time has cast its dingy shadows ;—' the scrolls,' slices of bread ;—' the precious varnish,' salted butter;—' the aged skeletons,' the frail remnants of a once respectable row of ivories." " Excellent, most excellent ! but yon have not yet told !is what is meant by the extract of hypocrisy." "Be that pleasure," exclaimed Mr. Twaddleton, re •-•erved for me ;—it is sugar, child, sugar; the sweat from the Negro's brow ; the accursed fruit of slavery and oppres sion : is it not as white as driven snow ? and yet its source is as Mach as Styx :—is it not swept ? and yet wrung from bitterest dregs of misery and despair. Who then, I will ask, can say that • .it is not the emblem and type of ilypocrisy ?" The worthy vicar pronounced these words with such energy as to astonish the listening group, who, with the exception of Mr. Seymour, were not aware that he had published a sermon against the slave trade, from which Mr. Seymour had borrowed the idea respecting sugar. This fircumstance will account for the readiness with which the vicar had discovered Mr. Seymour's allegory. The value of money is felt like a good friend, is never known till we stand in need of it. Per haps the following learned dissertation upon its original character, and multifarious application, may be acceptable to our City friends:— The vicar here expressed a hope that his two friends would honour him with a visit ; he said, that there were some points of difference between himself and the major, which he should much like to refer to Mr. Seymour. It was agreed that tile party should, at once, walk to the vicarage, and take into consideration the several grave matters which had been the subject of so mush learned' controversy. - In their way thither, the vicar expatiated, with some warmth, upon what he was pleased to term " the foibles" of his antiquarian friend ; he complained of his scepticism upon points that were perfectly unquestionable. " You are now alluding, I suppose," said the major, " to the doubt I expressed respecting the authenticity of your leather money?" '6 That is one of the many subjects, upon which I must say you have betrayed a deficiency in historical knowledge. .eneca informs us, that there was anciently stamped money of leather ; and the same thing was put in practice by Frederick 11. at the siege of Milan; to say nothing of an old tradition amongst ourselves, that in the confuted times of the barons' wars, the same expedient Was practised in England." ; You strangely mistake me," replied the major ; " I never questioned the truth of these historical statements ; I know full well that numerous substances have, at diffe rent times, and in different countries, been adopted in ex change, as conventional representatives of property. I have already stated that cattle were employed as the earliest measure of value. We find, for instance, in Homer, that the golden armour of Glaucus was valued at a hundred, and that of Diomedes, at ten oxen. Among the Indians, cowries, or small shells, are used ; and the Abyssinians employ salt, bricks, and beads, for this very purpose; the ancient Britons are said to have circulated iron rings as money. The Hollanders, we know, coined great qmantities of pasteboard in the year 1794; and Numa Pompilius cer tLinly made money both of wood and leather." " And yet you doubt the authenticity of my leathern money, which I am fully persuaded was coined in 1360, by John, king of France, who, having agreed to pay our Edward the Third the sum of 3,000,000 golden crown. for his ransom, was so reduced as to be compelled to a coinage of leather for the discharge of his household ex pences." " I have only questioned the authenticity of that speci men which I saw in your cabinet," replied the major; " and so must any person who views it through a medium unclouded by prejudice. I will stake my whole library to a hornbook, that our friend Mr. Seymour will agree with me in pronouncing it a fragment of the heel of an old shoe ; let him observe the perforation, and say, if he ran, that it has net been produced by a nail or peg. But really, my dear Mr. Twaddleton, you have forced me, much against my inclination, into this controversy." " Very good, sir; very good! the heel of an old shoe, 4'0,..•t1.1 ;ILA I thank V.I. Major S4 - kauwell."' the vicar, with some warmth ; " I thank you, sir. Your assertion, while it evinces your own want of historical in formation, establishes, beyond doubt, the authenticity of my treasure, and the triumph of my opinion." " Assuredly," said Mr. Seymour, with a wicked smile; " I dare say there may be numerous holes in this leathern coin ; for many have been the antiquaries who have, doubt less, pinned their faith upon it." " Paha, paha !" cried the vicar ; " for once, at least, Mr. Seymour, let me entreat you to be serious ; the subject, sir, is important, and merits your respect. It is front that very hole that I am enabled to identify the coin : yea, major, from that very hole, which you affect to despise, am I enabled to derive its principal claim to antiquity. Are we not expressly informed, that the leathern money of John of France had a little nail of silver driven in it ?" " Well, then," continued the major, " what say you to that tell-tale stitch, which Iso unfortunately picked out with my penknife?" " Admirable ingenuity ! most refined sophistry ! pro voking perversion I" exclaimed the vicar. "It is really amusing to observe the address with which the prejudiced observer distorts every fact to his own advantage. Why, bless me, sir, that stitch is strong enough to drag fifty such opponents out of the slough of unbelief." " Doexplain yourself," said Mr. Seymour. "Explain myself! the stitch speaks for itself, sir. Were not these leathern coins strung together in different num bers, to facilitate payments? For, you will admit, that it would have been extremely inconvenient to have coined single pieces of leather, of different denominations." The antiquaries had reached the vicarage before the con clusion of their discussio n ; and, as the reader will proba bly agree with us in thinking that a question of such grave historical importance, ought not to be decided without due care and deliberation, we shall afford the disputants a rea sonable time for their researches, and put an end to the present chapter. But we must conclude : all good dinners are finished with a song, and we conclude our repast with the essence of harmony : THE MAGIC OF MUSIC. " Allow me then to ask you, sir, whether you have ever heard of a game, which is justly entitled to the appellation of the Magic of Music ?" " Never," replied the vicar; " nor can I imagine either the nature, or objects of such a game." " Its object is to display the power of music as en ex pressive language ; the manner in which I propose to ex emplify it, I will, with your permission, explain in a few words. The musical performer shall place herself at the harp, or piano-forte, surrounded by the party who are de sirous of witnessing the pastime ; the person to be operated upon must retire from the apartment, until the service which, under the direction of the music, it is determined he shall perform, is duly agreed upon and arranged. Such person is then to be re-admitted; not a word, look, or gesture, is to escape from any one present; by the ex pression of the music alone is he to receive his instructions, and, unless I am much deceived, you will find that this is a mply suff►cient for the purpose." My dear madam, the thing is utterly impossible," ex claimed the vicar. "It cannot be done; unless, indeed, you really possess the secret of the ancient modes,' which were not even known to Meibornius, the learned commentator upon the Greek musician Alypius ; nay, I saac Vossius himself, the expounder of rhythm, were he now alive, would never credit it." _ . vc A re you willing to male the experiment ?" said Miss vill as , 4 if so, be so kind as to leave the room for a few minutes." ..... The vicar accordingly prepared to depart, casting at the same time, upon his fair companion, a look which suffi ciently e xpressed the scepticism be felt upon the occasion. " But you have not told me," said he, " by what signal am I to return, and submit to the proposed ordeal" " The music will inform you, if you pay sufficient at tention to its language," replied Miss Villers. The door having been carefully closed, the company were consulted in a whisper, as to the service they should re quire the vicar to perform. " I should propose," said Miss Villers, " that Mr. Twaddleton be directed to take a rose out of the basket of flowers on the chimney-piece, and, having sm e lt it, t o ca rry it to the harp, a n d p l ace i t o n its pillar ; after this I propose that he should strike the strings, and then lead Fanny out of the room." " And do you propose to express all these different move ments by the aid of music? If you succeed, there must be an end to the vicar's scepticism," observed Mr. Seymour. " If I fail upon this occasion, it will be the first time," said Miss Villers : " but you must all promise to be silent, and to maintain the most absolute cotnmand over your countenances." Alias Vipers seated herself at the ..#1 nlaved off' an elegant and - sparkling - overture, which so ' delighted Mrs. Seymour that she involuntarily exclaimed, " Ifmusic can be made to speak an intelligible language, it must he under the guidance of Miss Villers." " Hush," cried the performer, in a half whisper ; " I am now about to summon the vicar into the room." She accordingly, with exquisite taste and address, in troduced the air of " Open the door, Lord Gregory," into which she infused so much exquisite expression that the vicar must have been as dull as Midas, had he not in stantly caught its meaning. Nor were the lady's hopes disappointed. Mr. Twaddleton entered, and appeared as if anxious to address the performer ; but an intelligible -glance from Mr. Seymour recalled him to his duty, and Sermetically sealed his lips. His intention had been, !onlitless, to enquire whether his appeal ante were season able; but the question was anticipated by Miss Villers, }'ho immediately on his entrance struck up the air of " See the conquering Hero comes," which, at once, sa tisfied his doubts, and conveyed, in language not to be mis anderstood, the sanction of the enchantress, to who::; spells he had so unreservedly entrusted himself. The vicar had been told- that he was to perform certain :lets on his re-admission into the roem ; hut, thought he, how am I to discover the thread which is to guide me through so perplexing a maze? I can discover at this moment nothing but a concord of sweet sounds, that would rather dispose me to liana in profound repose, than to enter upo n any service of exertion. Miss Villers saw and • uessed the nature of his embarrassment, and changing the melody, struck into the air of " Hearken, and I will tell th ee how." She then, by a succession of well-selected shords, which were now played " piano," and now " forte," convinced the vicar that she commanded an in strument fully capable of readily and forcibly expressing 'ncouragement and repulse in all its degrees. " Thus much then is certain," mentally ejaculated the vicar, " that she is enabled, by the aid of music, to signify he r approbation or disapprobation, at any act which I may attempt to pertbrm. I accordingly predicate of this said music, that it is bona fide, a logical weapon ; in as much is it can affirm and deny. It, therefore, only remains for sue, knowing as I do that I have some act to perform, to ascertain the locus,' or uhi s ' for the act in question, whatever it may be, must of necessity be done or accom plished in proprio loco,' or in some definite part of the room. With this determination, founded, as he believed it to be, on the unerring basis of Aristotelian logic, he ad vanced towards the table ; but the loud and discordant sounds of the instrument, at once convinced him that, however correct his notions might be with reference to the 'substance' or first predicament,' they were evidently erroneous as to the accidents' of time,' place,' and relation ;' at least such were the ideas that floated through the categorical organ of his cranium, and he accordingly faced about, and made a retreat towards the window ; but the notes now became still more clamorous, and increased in vehemence. Ay, ay, thought he, it is quite evident that I am receding from the theatre of action; and with this conviction he diverted his steps into a different direc t tion, and, in a slow pace, tracked the path by his ear, with as much sagacity as a dog follows his prey by his nose. As he approached the fire-place, the storm of sounds gradually subsided, until a peaceful murmur breathed around, which finally died away as the vicar placed his hand upon the chimney-piece. So then it appears, after all, that I have sonic service to perform at the fire-side. It is, doubtless, to sit down, thought he, as he espied the elbow-chair, which, at that moment, appeared to his fancy, as if s tretching forth its hospitable arms to receive him ; hut scarcely had he answered the imaginary invitation of his old friend, by presenting the nether part of his person to its luxurious lap of down, than a sudden sforzato, or crash in the minor key, made him rebound upon his legs, as nimbly as though the cushion had been a bed of thorns. Miss Villers now .resolved the discord, and dexterously dashed into an allegro movement, in which she introduced the air of " How sweet are the flowers that grow!" The vicar's face mantled with a smile, as the bouquet on the chimney-piece met his eye, and harmonised with the sounds that floated in his ear. It is evident, thought he, that those flowers are the object of my pursuit,—hut what was he to do with them ? The musician solved the question, by tastefully exchanging the former air for that of Ask if yon damask rose be sweet." No sooner hat these notes delivered their melodious errand to the subtle ear of the vicar, than he instantly seized the rose, and carried it in triumph to his olfactory organs; at the same moment the music ceased. The pause, however, was but of short du ration ; for Miss Villers, by resuming her labours, intimated that some farther service was expected. Wee he to return the rose? Certainly not; for the attempt was marked by strong disapprobation. Was he to take it out of the room ? The music put a decided negative upon csat Liove.nens ; fur ;tut - .'.car hue scarcely measured halt the distance of the apartment before the air of " Fly not yet" arrested his steps. By a continuation of the same varying style of expression, and strongly marked rhythm, the vicar was shortly led to affix. the rose upon the harp ; and he was farther directed to strike the chords of that in strument, by the happy introduction of the air of " Gently touch the warbling lyre :" and he concluded the whole of this curious exhibition, as it had been previously de termined, by leading Fanny out of the room, which he per formed, without any hesitation, the moment the fair musi cian played Dibdin's popular air of " Say, Fanny, wilt Mon . go with me ?" In - closing our account of this interesting scene, it is scarcely necessary to describe the delight of the vicar,. the astonishment of Mr. and 'Mrs. Seymour, the satisfaction of Miss Fillers, or the boisterous mirth of the juvenile party. It was, in truth, a very extraordinary exhibition ; and when the reader considers that, beyond what was furnished by the expressive language of music, the vicar did not re ceive a single hint for his guidance, he may, perhaps, cherish some scepticism upon the subject ; but we can assure him that we have repeatedly witnessed, not only a similar, .but a still more complicated performance of the same kind, and with equal success.

DTSBLL,, 20. (rapt OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Mr. KaLLY, of Acton, having been called to the Chair, \lr. O'Gorman, as Secretary, read the minutes of the last Meeting. Inquiry was then made whether any Address to , zir Patrick Bellew bad been prepared; and Mr. O'Connell toil Mr. Sheil not being present, Mr. LAwt.rss rose, and informed the Chairman that be had endeavoured to perform his duty to the best of his abi ity, by drawing up a sketch of such an Address as it was ilia opinion ought to be presented to Sir Patrick with the 'east possible delay. He would, for his own part, have preferred the more open way of coming before the Legisla ure with a petition for the removal of Lord Manners ; but, is the form of addressing Sir P. Bellew had been agreed opon at the last Meeting, he had considered it his duty to prepare an Address, which he now took the liberty of sub mitting to the Committee. Mr. L. proceeded to read the Address, in which he strongly inveighed against the dicta torial authority assumed by the Lord Chancellor, and de fended the Catholic Aisociation against the calumnies and insinuations brought forward against it. He described the Association as consisting of the Catholic Nobility, Clergy, And Gentry of Ireland—it body of men too respectable for Lord Manners to have it in his power to injure ; and, in , bort, a body to which they congratulated Sir Patrick Bellew upon his having the honour to belong. Having iead the Address, Mr. Lawless expressed his regret that 'Jr. O'Connell should have been absent ; but declared his ..onviction that, however superior in point of elegance that Gentleman's address might have been to his (Ur. Law s's), the one now proposed would not be found to be ont... :article inferior in spirit. After a desultory conversation, in which Messrs. Kelly, Lawless, O'Gorman, Steele, and Mr. O'Connell joined, the Address was referred to the Committee for revision, and a 'notion made that the present Meeting adjourn till Saturday the 30th inst. This motion having been carried, an impression seemed t,-) be received that the business of the day was concluded, .nd a great proportion of the gentlemen present, including the greater part of the Reporters, withdrew. Mr. O'GoRMAN Marrox, reminded by tbe Meeting of he promise given then on Wednesday, that /fa would favour ahem with the natural history of that unclean animal the ';honeen ' many about to retire resumed their seats, and 'qr. M. addressed them to nearly the' foll4ing - effect*: When, on Wednesday last, I rose to second the motion of ,ay friend (Mr. Steele), I did make use of .an epithet, in ;peaking of a portion of the Irish }Magistracy, which I am now desirous of explaining. By some chance a notion has found its way into the public prints that, - . by the epithet of Shoneene, it was my intention to designate the whole of Eke Magistrates of the County of Clart;• nothing was ever rlirther from my intentions. There are among the Magis ;ratcs of that county gentlemen of whose friendship I am 9roed—gentlemen distinguished for the enlightened libe rality of their political principles ; as a proof of which I ,hall only mention, that it was among the Protestant Ma -I:istrates of that county that a petition to Parliament oni :;inated during the present Session, praying for an eaten -ion of religious liberty to their oppressed Catholic fellow .!ountrymen. I am, however, sorry to add (what, on a for tier occasion, I took an opportunity of declaring in Eug !and, and subsequently in a letter to Lord Manners), that !here are among them many with whom it would be de grading for a gentleman to associate. A considerable part f this evil I attribute to the circumstance that the Irish Magistracy are in close connection with the local armed uody of men whom, as now constituted, I COD ,ider a national bane, and to whom I am sincerely sorry to ind that the respectable Nobleman . at the head of this coun try is so strongly wedded. Mr. Mahon proceeded to men tion several mean tricks attempted by the Orange Squireens ~f his native county, which, by his personal exertions, be had had the good fortune to frustrate; to which he &Uri 4uted the rancour which those gentlemen appeared in the sequel to have conceived against him ; and detailed the fol lowing stratagem, by which it was attempted to procure his expulsion from the Bench :—I had been to Waterford, to meet an assembly held there ; and, on my arrival in Dublin, was informed that a meeting of Magistrates had taken place in my county, under the immediate sanction of Govern ment; that accusations of a serious nature had been there odged against me ; and that I was threatened with results , o me tremendous. I procured an immediate inter-. view with Mr. Goulburn, from whom I demanded an. ex planation, and was assured by him that no such meeting had been held with the consent or sanction ofhis Majesty's Govern ment, or of any person connected with Government,' and that no accusation whatever had • been lodged against me. I began to fear that my correspondent must have deceived ne, and by way of apology for my intrusion, took out my friend's letter, read the passage, and, as I was leaving the room, asked him whether he had received any communica tion from the county of Clare, in which my name was mentioned. At this question be started, and with symp toms of evident confusion admitted that be had received a qtatement, but that it was of a nature altogether beneath my consideration. By a series of questions I, however, Ascertained from him that this statement had been returned to the country to be verified on affidavit, and en having been so verified, had been forwarded to the Lord Lieute nant. I expressed some surprise at his having thought it worth while to occupy the attention of the Viceroy with a statement, which he did not consider as deserving the con sideration of the individual principally concerned;. he an swered, that it was his duty to forward every paper of much .t nature. I now rose to make my bow, when suddenly I heard a noise, as if some cat or domestic puppy had been concealed in the room. On turning round to ascertain whence this noise proceeded, I perceived a large screen di rectly behind me, and the Secretary's countenance imme 'lately betrayed embarrassment, considerably greater than I could have thought it possible, for any man so long a, oustomed to the intrigues of public life to have betrayed. %Ir. Mahon next detailed the history of this secret state.. :vent, which had been described by Mr. Goulburn as so •rximpartant, but which be (Mr. Mahon) afterwards Ascertainedfrom Mr. Lockwood, the Secretary of the Lord Chancellor, to he of a most serious nature. It contained charges which, if true, would not only have justified his ,expulsion from the Bench, but would have made it more ,wer an imperative duty on the Attorney-General to have prosecuted him. The statement was in the form of an Affidavit, sworn by a jailor of the name of Thomas Darcy, .1 man of infamous character, against whom a true bill had been fotind, accusing him of perjury and forgery, but who, through some occult influence, bad never been brought to trial, but had simply been removed from one Government situation to another. This was supported by an affidavit sworn privately before a Magistrate by a half pay offiber, now employed as Chief Constable of Police, of the name of Westrop Peard Watkins, containing minute details of a conversation which had taken place six weeks previously between him (Mr. Mahon) and this very Wat kins. Mr. Mahon then inveighed strongly against the in famous conduct of Watkins in thus betraying a private con. , venation, although that conversation contained only such sentiments as he had never hesitated to put forward in public, and did not hesitate to repeat the epithet applied to them by Mr. Grattan, that the Irish police were a mere body of political spies, and dwelt particularly on what he described .as cowardly prevarication on the part of Mr. Goulburn, in attempting to deceive him. Lord Manners, ?)oti•ever, did not proceed on the statement till he haul in quired a little into its private history, which inquiry ter minated in the entire discomii.ture of the Shoneen con spiracy. Mr. O ' CONNELL, who had entered the room during the latter part of Mr. Mahon's addristi, apologized for his late appearance, having been detained by professional duties. He then spoke at some length in favour of a coalition with the Protestant Dissenters, and recommended that in (owe :heir poitions should cease to pray for Catholic Emancip tion, but should come forward upon the broad basis of uni versal civil and religious liberty. No time ought to he lost, a sufficient concession had already been made to the present Ministry, and most assuredly he would never make A similar concession to any future Ministry : no, not filQ Another hour! He would recall to tlieir memory tht ;Teat saying of the now almost forgotten Dr. Drenner, when the Attorney-General said be had been in jail only two hours, " I have been in prison," said Dreamer, " one hundred and twenty minutes !" He (O'Connell) would in the same way urge to them that servitude counted by mi nutes, and that that man would he unworthy of liberty who could for a moment endure slavery with patience. lie concluded by moving that an aggregate meeting he called for the 6th of Jul,y to take into consideration the most efficacious means of ~ , ecuring civil and religious liberty to themselves and their dissenting fellow -countrymen. Mr. LAWLESS had never heard a motion in this asser,,_ hly which he more cheerfully supported ; the henal) b as i s of universal civil and religious liberty was the only one upon which he ever wished the question $•() be placed. Wkile the Catholics trusted to Kings and Parliaments, they were leaning upon reeds ; but a splendid coalition, such as now recommended, would unite no less than 14,000,000 of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom. Their enemies might endeavour to prevent such a coalition, hut he should be glad to sec any authority that would dare oppose it, The .Duke of PORTLAND, the - Earl of HAR mowhY, the .Efirl of CARLISLE, Viscount DUDLEY, Vis count Gonscuctr, Viscount PAL/UE*IEOW, and Mr. Ms- If-
