I Mr Lonn—l find it my duty to give you an account of the examination made by order of the Holy Father of the two de crees of the Belgium Government, of the 14th June last, and I have beard with satisfaction that all the heads of the dioceses have united with the Archbishop of Mechlin in making a pro testation against these decrees, and that M. Chamberlane has followed the same course with the clergy of Holland. The Sovereign Pontiff' has, on his part, ordered a strong representa tion to be made to the Government of the King of the Nether lands, in a note put into the hands of M. Reinhold, Envoy at the Court of Rome. His Holiness will judge hereafter, accord ing to circumstances, what is proper to do; in the mean time he is of opinion, that all the'Ordinarics ought to act with one common accord, and remain quite passive, should the Belgian Government proceed to the execution of its orders. His Holi ness, whose heart has been filled by the most lively regret by these two decrees, is convinced that the general protestation will be worthy of the heads of the dioceses from whom it ema nates, and that it will be modelled on that made by the Ordi naries of Belgium in 1787, against the general seminary erected by the Emperor Joseph at Louvain, and that they will not have lost sight of the declaration made by the King of the Netherlands in July, 1815, in virtue of which he guaranteed the Catholic religion, its dignity anti security. ( By order.) (Signed) " R. MASIO." REPLY TO THE GOVERNOR OF ANTWERP BY THE ARCH BISTIOP OF ➢ECHLIN, FROM ?LIS COUNTRY SEAT OF lIOSOF, NEAR LIEGE, SEPT. 16, 1825. sin—ln reply to the letter which your Excellency ad dressed to me on the 10th of this month, and which I have just received here, I. am obliged to declare that the suppression of my Archiepiscopal College at Mechlin, being in direct op position to the interests of our holy religion, with the orders of the Council of Trent, relative to the formation of a virtuous, regular, and orthodox college, with the rights belonging to the episcopacy of divine right, with the free exercise of the Catho lic religion, and the protection guaranteed to it by the funda mental law which I have sworn to maintain, anti also by the second article of the treaty which is its basis; and, finally, with scvnul declarations and promises made to us by his Ma jesty himself, I cannot in any case interfere with this suppres sion. " F. 111. Archbishop of MECHLIN." Gibraltar Chronicles were yesterday received to the 7th instant. The only intelligence which they convey is, that in order to avert the scarcity and other calamities with which Majorca was threatened in consequence of the late scanty har vest, the Spanish Government had permitted the importation into that island of 187,000 fanegas of foreign wheat, and 31,250 of pulse in national bottoms, upon payment of a duty of 10 rs. vellon per fanega. Mr. TnomesoN, the Gentleman who was sent from the British Mission in Mexico to the Re public of Guatemala, for the purpose of examin ing the condition of that country, and making a report thereon to the British Government, has arrived from Guatemala in London. Atm El RA, OCT. 7.—A Greek cruiser brought into this bay two days ago a Sardinian vessel, from Oran. The cargo has been trans-shipped on board the cruiser, the vessel liberated, and freight paid. The captain of a Greek vessel reports that 10 or 12 others are cruising against the Moorish flag and property. It is said that proiJosals have been made by the Hay tian Government to England, to place this country in a favourable situation with regard to trade with Hayti, on condition of our recog- • nising i►s independence. BATTLE OF TRAFALGAIt.--Olt the 21st inst. the Anniversary of this memorable triumph of the British Arms, the Olf►cers of his Majesty's Navy in Liverpool and the neighbourhood par took of a grand dinner at the Neptune Hotel, Clayton-square, in honour of this glorious Vic tory and of the immortal Hero under whom it was achieved. Captain CoLoulur, R.N., was President on this patriotic occasion ; Vice-Presi dent Captain PRYSE, it. N, On the President's right hand sat Admiral Munn/kr, and on the l e ft ELIAs A ItNAu n , E sq ., Collector of his Majesty's Customs at the Port of Liverpool. Many loyal and constitutional speeches were - made, and toasts of the same description given, and the day passed off with all that festivity which might be expected from the heroic defenders of the coun try, who feel a glowing recollection of its former triumphs, and are ready to engage in any enter prize that may tend to its interest and glory. We have perused with much sympathy an ad dress to the British public, by Senor Juan Romero Alpuente, who has lately reached England from the persecutions of his own country. This Learned Lawyer and excellent man, is now seventy years of age, and has been 40 years a Judge. Being elected a member of the Cadiz Cortes, his political conduct was as much distinguished for moderation as for a strenuous support of popular rights. Hence, however, has sprung - a persecution, from which, after suffering confiscation and impri sonment, he has just been able to escape to this country. M. Romero Alpuente, having arrived too late to be put upon the list of Spanish exiles receiving relief from Government, has an nounced his intention of publishing by subscrip tion, a work on ' the Causes of the Downfall of the Spanish Constitution." The names of sub scribers will be received at the " Office of Fo reigners in Distress"—(Tunes.) At the OLD BAILEY SESSIONS this day, Win. Ilarzzood stood indicted for the wilful murder of his grandson George Barton. The facts of this case have already appeared in the police reports. The Jury found him Guilty of Manslaughter, and the Court sentenced him to pay a fine of 40s. and be discharged. Mn. M,l - RTIN AND THE PUBLIC PRESS.--In the course of yesterday the Middlesex Grand Jury came into Court, with a true bill against Wm. lime! Clement, Esq. the Proprietor of the Morn ing Chronicle, for a libel on Mr. Martin of Cal way.--True bills were also found against Mr. Thwaites of the Morning Herald, and Mr. Ca dell, the Publisher of Blackwood's Magazine. House; LABin, which is generally considered a delicacy and rarity at Christmas, has, owing- to the mildness of the season, already made its ap pearance in some of the butchers' shops, at the moderate price of 10 to 15s. a quarter, or about 2s. a pound. ST. CLEMENT'S DANES.—The election of a Surgeon for this parish commenced yesterday. At the close of the poll the numbers were :—For Mr. RADNOR, 138; Mr. COSGREAVE, 101 ; Mr. DALTON, 60. A Chinese ship, navigated by Chinese seamen, has recently arrived at Antwerp, and crowds of curious per sons from all parts of the Netherlands daily Hock on board to admire the dexterity with which these eaters of rice manage their chop-sticks. To prevent the smoking of a lamp, suak the wick in strong vinegar, and dry it well before it is used ; it will burn sweet and pleasant. , • . {3 t;. • ~.. , ); ~,,, h, ' 0h• . , =', i- 4,115' i A'' ',..

V , • . 4 •--- ' F+, ANECDOTPS, SAINT SIMON AND SAINT icon.—This day is the Anniversary of Saint Simon and Saint Jude. Saint Simon is called the Canaanite and the Zealot, to distinguish him from Simon Peter, and was one of the twelve Apostles. He preached in Egypt, Cyrene, Africa, Libya,Mauritania, and Mesopotamia, at which latter place meeting with Saint Jude, these saints went together into Persia, and in consequence of an Open reproof of the supersitious rites of the Ma , zi, they both suffered martyrdom in the year 74. Saint Jude left one Epistle, which has been placed in the sacred Canons. Saint Simon is usually de pieced as bearing a saw, and generally in the back ground of pictures, wh , re he alone is drawn,', is to be seen a person expiring on the cross; the Latins assert, that both that Saint and Saint Jude suffered martyrdom by crucifixion, and in token of that death, the latter is represented bear:ng a cross similar to the one used as the type of the death of Saint Philip; but the transverse beam of that appropriated to Saint Jude is down wards, whereas that of Saint Philip is the re verse. It appears from the old writers, that Saint Simon and Saint Jude's Day was accounted min)/ as well as Saint Swiihin's. In the play of the Roaring Girls, is the following passage : " As well as I know, 'twill rain upon Sithon and Jude's Day," vide Reed's Old Plays, vol. vi. page 23. And in page 31 :—" Now a continual Simon and Jude's rain beat all your feathers as flat down as pancakes." Holinshed states, that in 1536, when a battle was appointed to have been fought on this day between the King's troops and the rebels in Yorkshire, that so great a quantity of rain fell upon the eve thereof, as to prevent the battle taking place.—This day is also the anniversary of the Coronation of Henry 111., at Gloucester, in 1 6 216. HENRI' 11f. of FRANCE was a weak and a silly Monarch. his favourite occupations consisted in dressing his own and the Queen's hair, and in starching and plaiting his own ruff, and that of his consort. These occupations took up so much of his time on the day of his coronation, and on that of his nuptials, that the procession did not reach the Church before six o'clock in the evening. At balls, and other diversions he appeared habited as an amazon, in female attire, with his bosom uncovered, and a collar of pearls hanging down upon his breast. He wore besides, like the ladies of his Court, a small toque, over which he himself frizzed his hair, three bands of fine linnen, two of. which were plaited into ruffs, and the other in verted. These bands gave rise to the remark that his head resembled that of John the Baptist, presented to King Herod upon a charger. When the celebrated Selby had an•interview with him in 1586, he had a toque on his head, a tippet on his shoulders, and a broad ribbon round his neck, from which was suspended a basket full of pup pies ! !—As he himself assumed the female attire, so also he enjoined the ladies to adopt the dress of men. They were obliged to obey, and attended at grand entertainments in male apparel, made of damask of two different colours.--(Journal de Henri III.) SUCKING PIGS.—In the seventeenth century, the Ladies of Bayonne had a particular fancy for sucking pigs. Every Lady carried one of these little grunters, decked out with collars of ribbons, in her arms. They took them even to balls ; but as when they danced they were obliged to lay down their favourites, the little animals ran grunting about the room to the mani fest annoyance of the dancers who were often in danger of trading upon them. JAMES I.—The greatest anxiety evinced by JAMES the FlusT, during his reign, except in the detection and punishment of old women for witchcraft, was for the recovery of a hawk which he had lost sporting. Sir Anthony Weldon says, that " the King being at Newmarket, delighted much to fly his Boss-Hawks at herons, and the manner of the conflict was this : the heron would mount, and the hawk would get much above it ; then, when the hawk stooped at the game, the heron would turn up its belly to receive her with ' his claws, and sharp bill, which the hawk per ceiving would dodge and pass by, rather than endanger itself. This pass being over, both hawk and game would mount to the utmost of their power, till the hawk being got above, would be at another attempt, and after divers such assaults, by some lucky hit or other, the hawk would bring her down. But one day a most excellent hawk, being at his game, in the King's presence,mount ed with his game so high, that both hawk and heron got out of sight and were never seen more. Inquiry was made, not only all over England but in all the foreign Princes' Courts in Europe, the hawk having the King's jesses, and marks suffi cient whereby it might be known, but all was to no purpose." JUDGE Tttoaec.—ln the elaborate charge of Judge Tnotten on the Northern Circuit, in the year 1618, among other offences that he states the Grand Jury to have power to take cogni zance of, is one referring to the trade of shoe makers, which places that useful body of men in sad jeopardy. St. Crispin himself would hardly escape the penalty, if all our Judges were like Thorpe, calling to have examples made of every shoemaker " if he do not make his wares of good leather, sod, and upp.r leather well tanned, and sewed with thread well waxed and twisted, and hard drawn with hand-leathers—if he mix his wares, part teats-leather, part calf, horse, or bull-hide--if he sell any wares up on Sunday." HORSEMANSIIIP.--In 1520, it is recorded that JAMES IV. King of Scotland, with a relay of ' horses, rode from Stirling, by Perth and Aberdeen, to Elgin, a distance of 150 English miles, in one day : and in 1735, Count de Buckeburg, the cele brated German author, being in England, laid a wager that the would ride a horse from London to Edinburgh, with his face to the tail, which he performed in less that) four days. PARLIAMENTS.—ID ancient times, Sunday ap pears to have been an usual day on which to con vene Parliaments. From the close rolls of Ed wards 11. and VI., there are various tested writs, in which the King commands the attendance of Parliament on the Sabbath-day, principally a t York and laincolu. PO ET R Y. THE WANDERER TO TIER CHILD. The sun is sunk, and daylight gone, As over the moor we journey oti ; The snows are lying all deep and chill; The clouds are gathering round the The winds they are moaning through the air, And backwards tossing the branches bare; Oh hush, oh hush, thy piteous cry, • And shut in repose thy little eye; Be still, my babe, and sleep ! Though cold the snows, and though cold the air, That sweeps O'er the frozen mountains bare, afore cold was that ungenerous mind, Which holiest vows were rain to bind, Which stole my peace, and, ruining me, Left me to roam the world with thee : Oh hush, and oh hush thy piercing cry, And I will sing your lullaby ; Be still, my babe, and sleep ! Thy father he cares not for his child . Thou art forsaken, and I reviled ; From town to town, a dreary way, We wander along from day to day, Begging a crust of the poor man's bread, And laying us down in some humble shed; All but thyself look in scorn on me, And oh ! I shall ever be kind to thee; Be hushed my babe, and sleep I Ali once, sweet baby, I had a home, Nor dreamt I then that I thus should roam ; By a pleasant village our cottage stood, And my parents were pious, and kind, and good : They had no comfort but me on earth, For I was the light of their lonely hearth ; Till there carne to our door, in cruelty gay, Thy father, who stole their treasure away ; Be hushed, my babe, and sleep ! The old man broke his heart, and died, And soon my mother was laid by his side ; I was lying in weakness when these they told ; And thou wert an infant three days old ; I prayed for death, anti I wished to die, • Till I heard thy pitiful tender cry, And then I petitioaed for life to be In thy helpless years a mother to thee ; Be hushed, my babe, and sleep ! A haven yet may smile for us, And the heart which could neglect us thus, May feel the misery we have felt, And share the sorrow itself bath dealt; We soon shall be over these barren ways, And I will warm thee, love, at the blaze, Where, 'mid yon trees, on the upland moor, Stands kindly open the peasant's door ; Then hush, my babe, and sleep !

SPORTING QUESTION DECIDED. 1 The opinion of the Stewards of the Jockey Club was re quested by the Stewards of Rochester and Chatham Races on the fbllowing case : For the Chatham Plate, the winner of a Stake or Plate in 1823 was to carry 71b. extra; and the question w as , w h et h er a filly who had won a Plat e subsequently to the entering for the Chatham Plate, but previously to the running for it, was to carry 71b. extra ? The Stewards of the Jockey .Club gave it as their opinion, that she was not obliged to carry 71b. extra; and they stated, they were aware that conflicting opinions had been given on this question, but on mature consideration they thought the better rule was, that a horse, being duly qualified at the expi ration of the time of naming or entering for a Stake or Plate, should not be affected, as to that Stake or Plate, by any sub sequent event, NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING, 1825.

MONUMENT AT WATERLOO.—The following is an account. given, by a recent traveller, of the monument now erecting by order o the Netherlands overnment, to comme morate the battle . f of Waterloo :—" G The monument, as it is called, has a very imposing effect, even in its unfinished state. It is an earthen mound or hill, of a conical form, resem bling the one on the Bath road, near Kennett, but of larger dimensions, and more striking appearance. It is of immense size, being upwards of 700 feet diameter at the bass, or 2,160 feet circumference. It is 200 feet high, and 100 feet in diameter at the top ; there is a double carriage road winding round it, in a spiral form, and supplying an easy means of ascent for carriages to the very top ; and by this road the materials have been, and are, conveyed to complete the work. In the centre is a shaft of brick-work, which has been carried up from the bottom, and is still going on. It is to be 60 feet higher than the top of the mound, making the whole height 260 feet. It is intended for apedestal, to re ce i ve a li on , 21 f eet l ong, and 12 feet high, which is ready to be put up when the work is finished. This mound has been 18 months in hand, and is to be completed in six more, and from what has been already done, little doubt remains that it will be so. For the first twelve months 2,000 men, 600 horses, and as many carts as could be kept at work, were employed on it, and the number has only been reduced as the termination of this great undertaking ap proaches. At present, as the works are going on, at the top it has a pleasing appearance, from the great number of horses, carts, and people ascending and descending by the winding road." WHITECHAPEL Scnoot.s.--Yesterday the usual ' annual examination of the children educated at the Whitechapel branch of the National Free Schools, took place at the spacious School-room, in Initechapel-road. Long before the hour for commencing the business of the day, the room was filled with a crowded assemblage of the more respectable part of the parishioners, whose early attendance manifested the lively inte rest they took in the welfare ofthe Society. A little after 1 o'clock, the Lard Bishop of London, attended by Archdeacon Potts, Vicar of Kensington : the Rev. Mr. Crosbie, Rector of Shore ditch; the Rev. Mr. Simpson; the Resident M aster of the Sch ool; withe Clergyman of the parish, the Secretary, Treasurer, and I Gentlemen of the Committee, appeared upon the platform, when his Lordship as one of the Patrons of the Institution took the Chair. The examinations were then entered on, and consisted in scriptural and catachetical explanations, reading, spelling, and arithmetic. The answers were so accurate and ready, t:s frequently to draw forth the marked approbation of his Lord ship and the auditors, and the appearance of the children, amounting to above 400, reflected the highest credit on those persons who have the management of the institution. At the conclusion of the examination the National Anthem was played. from the organ, and accompanied by the voices of the children, after which they all, boys as well as females, passed by the platform, and each, was presented with a lar ge ca k e , prov id e d by the ommittee. On Monday- night Miss FooTE made her first appearance at Glasgow Theatre, in the character of Letitia Hardy. The house was crowded in every part. There were very few ladies in the lower boxes, but there were females in the upper boxes and pit. On her entry she was greeted with four distinct peals of applause, without the slightest token shewn of disapprobation. A pair of dashing swindlers have established themselves in a splendid ready furnished mansion in Gloucester-place, and have been levying con tributions on credulous tradesmen with a facility and success hardly to be conceived. ACCIDENT AT II ASTINGS•—A distressing ca tastrophe occurred on Tuesday afternoon, oppo site the Marine Parade, to a young gentleman, 9 years of age, of the name of Foster, a visitant at Mr. Breed's, in hill-street. As the unfortu nate youth was standing on the shingles, to the leeward of the Rose pleasure-boat, to witness her being launched with a party of ladies on board, from one of the houses in Pelham place, for an acquatic excursion, a sudden and violent gust of wind from the north. west, broke the main -mast, the end of which, in fall ing,struck his head with such force as to produce an external wound of the scalp, and a fracture of the external and internal tables of the cranium, of considerable extent over both parietal bones, and to the os fronds. Although the operation of trepanning was skilfully performed by several surgeons, the youth died immediately after the. completion of the operation.
