TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE CONTRACT, THE ESTATES of WOO DSTO N, and WEST MATIIERS, SALMON FISHERY in the OCEAN and the RIVER NORTH ESK, LIME QUA RRY, &c., lying in the Parish of St. Cyrus, and County of Kincareline. The ,Estate consists 'of 900 Scots Acres, or thereby. The rent of the Lands, exclusive of the Fishery and Wood, is 1,5711.25. 3d., putting a reasonable rent on the Farm of 'West 'gathers and Mill of Woodston, now in the Proprietor's pos session. The Lands being capable of great improvement, a considerable rise may confidently be expected. An addition ; 3 , r , 30 01. a year will be got on the expiration of the Lease of plains of Woodston, at Martinmas, 1830. The Lands are of a strong active early soil, with a fine Cli.. hate and Southern exposure, and are capable of carrying any cro p. There is Limestone on the property of a very superior quality, .11c1 inexhaustible. There is a convenient small Harbour ad - Jacent to the Lime Rock, where cargoes of coal may be unloaded, and lime shipped ; and, according to a survey recently made, t he harbour may be greatly improved at a small expence. In 111 e middl e o f th e E s t a te there is a very fine Freestone Quarry r 4 for any purpose of building. On the North of the Estate there is a very thriving Plan ;ation of upw ar d s of 100 Acres. The trees are already fit for ` 4 fing and jointing, and other country purposes. A more compact Property is seldom to be met with. The access is easy. The Turninke Road from Montrose to Stone ilaven runs through the .Estate. The farm steadings, inclo sriure erns, &c. are in the highest order. The "houses are mostly ew, .and a Purchaser need not incur any expence in regard to Tile Estates afford nearly three Freehold Qualifications in the County. The teinds are valued. The Salmon Fishing was let in 1822 for five years, to a most Vnizierienced Fisher, at a Rent of 5651., rising in October, ' 62 5, to 5801., and in October, 1826, to 6001., and having been made since a Sea Stake-net Fishing, the value of it is greatly j ' il crearxl, and there is little doubt .of its letting greatly higher after OCtober, 1827. An Ice-house has been built, and roads Made to communicate with the shore, both for the convenience 9f bringing up the Salmon and for the Seaware. The Property will be sold in whole, so as, after deducting a reasonable value for the Wood and Freehold, to afford very nearly Three and a Half per Cent. on the price at present, be sides the prospect of a further income from the rise of Rent of the Farms and Fishings. • The above Lands will either be sold in whole, or, if more convenient for intending purchasers, they will be disposed of in the following Lots The Mains of Woodston, consisting of about 478 Acres, Of which about 112 Acres are in planting, the rest good Arable and Pasture Land. 11.

Fifth Edition, enlarged by a Treatise on Brewing, adapted to the use of private Families. " Mr. Moubray's little book on the breeding, rearing, and fattening all kinds of domestic poultry and pigs, is unquestion ably the most practical work on the subject in our language.— The Author's aim seems to have been to avoid scientific de. tail, and to convey his information in plain and intelligible terms. The convenience of a small poultry yard—two or three pigs, with a breeding sow, and a cow for cream, milk, butter, cheese—in an English country house, appears indispensible ; and to point out how these may be obtained at a reasonable expence, seems to have been Mr. Moubray's object. By adopting the plan of his work, any family may furnish their table with these luxuries at one-third of the price they are obliged to pay a the markets; and the farmer and breeder may render it the source of considerable profit."—(Farmer's Journal.)

The SPEAKER took the Chair at four o'clock. This . being the last day for presenting petitions for private Bills, the House was occupied with them fora considerable time. Mr. MACQUEEN presented a petition for the establish ment of Provincial Banks in Ireland.—Referred to. a COM. mittce. . . Mr. W. COURTENAY presented a petition for leave to bring in a bill to establish a fish market in Hungerford-street. Referred to a Committee. Lord LowTH ER presented a petition for a Bill to in corporate the British Gas Company.—Referred to a Com mittee. THANES QUAY COMPANY. Colonel TRENCH presented a petition. fin. establishing the Themes Quay Cpmpany.. _ . Sir J. YORKE hoped . the House would •pause before it would consent to sacrifice its judgment to any notions of taste which the Gallant Colonel might entertain. He respected his Gallant Friend's talents greatly. No man wrote better—few spoke better—and he drew admirably.—(A laugh.)—But it was a delicate question, whether the property of the persons residing on the banks of the Thames should be sacrificed to a plan which would exceed in filth all the fish markets, sewers. and even all the essences.of his Gallant Friend.—(Laughter.)— Referred to a Committee. Mr. EsTeou Rif presented a petition from .Devizes, pray ing for a reduCtion on the duties on Tobacco.-Ordered to he on the table. . Lord LIELGRAVE presented a similar Petition from Chester. COURt OF CHANCERY. . . Mr. J. 'WILLIAMS moved for a return of all the Cases de termined in the Court of Chancery from Hilary Term, 1823 to 1825, with an account of the manner in which they were dis posed of. Mr. Secretary PEEL said that he did not abject to the return, but only asked that. the forms of the House should be complied with, and the regular notice be given. Mr. WILLIAMS said; that he would now make only so much of his motion as was a continuation of the motion of last year, and for the rest he would give the regular notice. The motion, so modified,- was agreed to. CATHOLIC ASSOC IA TION —PE TIT IO NS. ISIr:S. RICE presentedatilionfron;WiCoManCatho lies of the County and City of Limerick, against.the measures now before the House }or the suppression of .the Catholic Association.. The Petitioners prayed that the House would take no steps against an Association which was now legal, and all of whose acts had tended to promote the order and tranquillity of the country.—The Petition was ordered to be printed. - Colonel TRENCH had to present a Petition to the House of an, opposite nature to the last,- from the Clergy of the Arch deaconry of Ely. The Petitioners stated their alarm at the proceedings of the Catholic Association, and prayed for its suppression.—Ordered to be printed. Sir JOHN NEWPORT presented a petition from the Ro man Catholic Inhabitants of the parish of St. Anne Andreon, Dublin, praying that the House would not suffer any Bill to pass into a law which had fhr its object the suppression of the Catholic Association. The petitioners stated that they owned property to the amount of 400,0001. all of which was embarked in manufactures and commerce, and would be endangered by the disturbance which they feared would arise if any such mea sure were adopted. But they viewed the Bill before the House with greater apprehension as it applied t o the liberties of the peopl at large, than for its effect upon th e Catholics. The Right Hon. Baronet called to the attention of Gentlemen of this coun try, that by this Bill they were establishing a precedent which might hereafter be adopted with regard to England with the most serious detriment, if not the total destruction of the liberty of the subject. • The petition was ordered to be printed. Sir J. NEWPORT presented similar petitions to the last from Tuam, Droheda, Cashel, the Barney. of Iff'a .and Offa, in the County of Tipperary, tw o fr om the .Barony of Lipper-Or mond, and from Roscrea.—They were severally ordered to be printed. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE rose to pr esent a petition from a large body of his Constituents, whom he considered to be justly alarmed at the proceedings which had lately taken place in the Sister Kingdom. They earnestly called upon the House to put in effect such measures as in their wisdom they should think fit, for the purpose of a check to such an alarming and illegal body. The petition was from the Inhabitants of the City of Wells and its vicinity ; and it stated the .opinion of the p2titioners,that the acts of the Catholic Association were intend ed and calculated to subv ert the Protest ant Establishment. They felt that the overthrow of the Papal pow er h a d been t h e source of ttiolerperliots;ipoeursittyoloefratitlieonel7ipn its empire and alth oug h t h ey were friend ly utmost extent, they could not consent to the extension of political pew...r to the Catholics. They consider this - Association to be an organised confede racy assuming illegal powers, which must, if allowed to exist, lead to dreadful and awful results—more particularly as it was in the hands of that all-influential body, the Popish Priests. The Honourable Baronet expressed his concurrence- with every word contained in the petition, and his conviction that if some such measure as that now in progress through the House had not been brought forward by the •Government, the table would have been covered with petitions of a similar nature. He had read the Bill, and he found • nothing at variance with the best interests of the British Constitution, and nothing which did violence to the liberty of the subject.—(Hear, hear!) —He would not detain the House now, when a motion upon the subject was coming on from the Honourable and Learned Mem ber for Winchelsea, the object of which was, as he understood, that the Catholic Association should be heard byVonnsel against the Bill. If so, he hoped that every other Asskiation would have the same opportunity afforded them. He Aieuld be surprised indeed if he heard the Hon. and Learned Gentle min object to thiSOsevatasstebe advocated the very same prin ciple three years ago. Mr. BROUGHA 31 said that with all the respect which-he sincerely entertained for the undeviating consistency of the Hon, Baronet—for the unvarying steadiness with which be had ever pursued the same line of conduct upon this question, and giving him credit for the perfect sincerity of his motives, he must beg leave to exercise the liberty of conveying to the House some information which had .come to his knowledge re specting the manner in which this Petition was got up. Nothing however, which he was about to state, should influence his vote as to the question that the petition be laid upon the table ; be cause he considered that no trickery or management in the get ting up of a petition, should affect that important right of the subject. But there were a few anecdotes of which he had been apprised, by a letter coining from a Gentleman of considerable . rank in the neighbourhood, and who was nearly connected with some parts of die Government, with which he was desirous to acquaint the Ilouse. He was, then, informed that the petition had been first sent to an Inn from the office of an attorney who was the tool arid agent of the Hon. Baronet who - had presented' it.—(Hear, hear !)—He entirely acquitted' Honourable Baronet ell participation in the matter, and it was most likely that he was perfectly ignorant of the facts he was about to state. This Attorney was not only the agent of the Honour able Baronet, but also the active agent of the Wells party, who had been raising the cry of " No Popery" for the purpose of turning out the present representatives of that city, (Messrs. Tudway and Taylor.) The letter which he held in his hand stated that a Mr. So-and-so, (lie should mention no names) rode about canvassing for signatures to this petition, and went to a school close to the gate of the writer's house, telling. th,e schoal master that he must get as many names as he could'.'_ The schoolmaster :waved, and forthwith put- down the minres.4. all those boys in the school who could not write—(lnu i ghter),eand all who could were ord ere d to s i gn th e i r own ; and . ..they went home bragging that they had supported " brick ati'd'inbrtar." Ile should here apprise the House that the parry oppoied to the present Members for Wells were called " the brick and mortar" party, and so these boys actually went home bragging of the service they had done to brick and mortar. - Having suc ceeded so well with this worthy schoolinaster, the Gentleman thought it right to see what could be done with certain persons of a more advanced age ; and accordingly he went into the village and attacked a body of old women, to whom he gave the agreeable intelligence that - the Irish Papists were all coining over to cut their throats.—(Laughter.)—Whether they did not exercise the same controul over their husbands in this as in some other matters, he could not say ; _but they were unable to com, pel them to sign their name , , until prevailed, upon by the ter rors of their afflicted spouses at the fear of having their throats cut by the Papists of Ireland. With regard to the other sig natures to the petition, he was informed that the) numbered none of the Canons of the Cathedral, nor any of the. gentry who were not of the electioneering " brick anti mortar" party. Now they might not have Such accurate accounts of the getting • up of other petitions where the-senseless cry of " No Popery" was raised ; and he had therefore made this communication in order that - the House might be aware of their real charac ter. He entreated - the House, therefore—not that.they would not receive such petitions—hut that they would take them for what they were worth, and at all events consider those which came from the Catholics of Ireland as not undem - ving of attention: • Sir T. LETHBRIDGE said be had heard with very con siderable surprise the . letter which had been quoted by the lion: and Learned Gentleman. In the first place, that any one should take such means of procuring signatures to a Petition ; and further, that such a letter should have been written. But the lion. and . Learned Gentleman had given no name—(Hear) • —and until he did, they were not bound to believe the state ment. It might have - conic, for any thing they knew, from the Schoolmaster or any one of his scholars. He must say that he was perfectly astounded at its intelligence, tbr he was en tirely ignorant that any such party pttrposes had given rise •to the petition.—Wear, hear 5..--.lle knew that it was signed by Magistrates and Clergy, and he knew that it was also signed by many hundreds, he might say thousands, of the most re- ' spectable inhabitants and. yeomanry of the neighbourhood.— (Hear, hear !)—The communication made by the lion. and Learned Gentleman was so puerile in its nature, that until he . had it from the first authority he should not consider it entitled to the slightest regard or belief. Mr. BROOM-UM' repeated that he never suspected the Hon. Baronet of - knowing any thing of the manner in which this petition had been obtained. It was not usual to advertise the names of private individuals in their debates, and he had abstained from mentioning the. names of any of the . parties. Ile could assure the Hon. Baronet that the writer of the letter was a Gentleman living in the neighbourhood, possessing con siderable rank and character, and highly entitled to respect.— The . petition was then ordered to he printed. Sir MARCUS SOMERVILLE presented seven petitions from the County of Meath, against the Bill for suppressing AssOciations in Ireland:—Ordered to he printed. Mr. M. FITZGERALD presented a similar petition from Tralee.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. - M. FITZGERALD also begged to call the attention of the House to a similar petition from the Town and Neighbour hood of Killarney. He was sure that he had only to mention the names attached to the petition, to convince the House that it was one of no ordinar character. When the House learnt that the name of Lord Kenmare was amongst them, they would be convinced that every Catholic in Ireland was united in this remonstrance against the proposed Bill. The Right Honour able Gentleman then' highly eulogised the conduct and cha racter of Lord Kenmare and his family, alluding to their unshaken loyalty; and the military services of his Lordship's brothers. Lord NUGENT took the opportunity of stating to the House that the British Roman Catholic Committee, at a meet ing held that (lay, had drawn up a petition which was now in a course of signature, and which he should on Monday present to the House. The petition would be that of the Roman Ca tholics of England, with the Earl Marshal at their head. It would state that they felt the utmost sympathy with the Catho— lics of Ireland, and earnestly intreat the House that the Bill now before it might not pass into a law. Ile had been express ly desiretVto state that the petition had been drawn up without . any coniillinication whatever, either directly or indirectly with theitombi l i Catholics of Ireland.—The petition was ordered to •rf be prinied. Sir F.‘BURDETT presented a similar Petition from cer tain Roman Catholics in Ireland. The Honourable Baronet briefly addressed the House, and said that he should not detain them, as his Honourable and Learned Friend was about to submit a motion which would have for its object to let the Peti tioners have an opportunity of doing themselves justice, and to do the House the j ustice of hearing before it condemned.—Or dered to be printed. WAYS AND MEANS. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, the House went into a Committee of Ways and Means,- and-certain Resolutions were agreed to respecting the issue of Exchequer Bills. It was resolved that twenty millions should be raised by Exchequer Bills for the service. of the present year. The Report havinc , been brought up, it was ordered that it 'should be received on Monday. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.— MR. BROUGHAM'S MOTION. Mr. BROUGHAM-1n rising to submit to the House the. proposition to which I gave notice last night, I feel the' anxiety naturally to be expected in an individual who, in the absence of a more powerful advocate, undertakes to call the attention ef the !louse of Parliament to one of the most important subjects that has ever been brought forward. At almost any other period, and with almost any ordinary measure, so far from re ,garding the motion with which I shall conclude as matter of grave_ argument and great moment, I should rather have con.: '-sideretrit a mere matter oleourse.—(lleur common Cases it seems to have been eonsis'tent.with the firms and practice of the House; and befitting its wisdom . mot its justice, never to condemn any party until'they have . been heard. If accusation has been brought forward, •the course, I apprehend; 'haS been riot to refuse theparty an opportunity of efu nag what had been laid to his charge. But, from sonic symptoms whiell I thought could perceive last night, and from some indicati(his' of a dis position tohurry with impetuosity which I fancied rdiscerned in the manner in which the measureagainst the Catholic .s ociation was propounded, my mind has received the most pain fuli rnpres sion, that thepropOsition I am ab'out to make,' Ins . tead of being conceded as a Matter of course, as I thipk it ought to be, and buC• for these symptoms Should haVe expected it would have been, is about - to be contested and - resisted with AS; Much pertinaeity as any the mast controverted part of the question. I find to . my great, to my unspeakable astonishment, that some 'Hon. Gentlemen are not satisfied with having made up their Minds upon a hasty, in pert refuted, in part corrected', altogether plained, diminished and weakened statement of facts, the only basis upon which the measure ail be" rested at all, are deter mined to go still further, and to refuse tote convinced. When these faCts adduced are proposed to be investigated-when the parties charged demand an inquiry —when the accused come be fore you, and, according to the allusion of the Hon. Baronet . , the Member for Westminster, cry "Strike, but hear !" those same Hon. Gentlemen who so readily swallowed the Statement, al ready found capable of disproof to a great degree, even without inquiry, are prepared to go much further, and tOsay, "Decide we will, but hear we will not"-(Hear !)—This one sentence is the cause of the alarm and anxiety I feel ; for I cannot disguise my conviction, that a question of More fearful import never was submitted to Parliament than this will prove, if the House shali be disposed immediately and at once to reject the prayer of the petitioners. Good God 1 are you to resist the players of six millions of people, who claim an opportubity of vindicating themselves from unjust aspersions ? Are you to throw the doors of this House wide open for the hearing of priVate corn plaints—to allow Counsel and witnesses in matters of Im com paratively small moment, o this great case, of all others, to convict, sentence, aye and execute at once, Without trial . (H ear) ? I cannot bring myself to believe that this House will incur so . frightful a responsibility. Then let us look to the situation in which we are placed. I propose attempting once again to go into this great and portentous subject, and I derive to myself even a sort of encouragement from this circumstance, that the more monstrous the alternative, the more impossible for me to believe that I shall find it adopted. And, notwithstanding the time and attention which this House has devoted to this sub ject, notwithstanding that night after night Petitions have even been presented, and discussion has taken place in every stage of this ill-omened measure; it is my Opinion that further dis cussion is necessary, because the question I am now about to submit, with all the earnestness and anxiety which I think the importance of its reception, and the tremendous consequences of not granting this demand, call for, seems to me to stand clear from all other questions upon the merits of the till. If this Bill is to pass, 1 should he most anxious to pave the way for it by hearing the parties at the Bar. The more important the question—the more dreadful the.consequences—the more anxious do I feel to adopt this course ; because, if you bring in the measure after this, you take away all possibility of cavil from your door, and prevent any m an f ronesa yi ng th at you have condemned the Catholic Body unheard ; because these rights of the Catholics can only be consistently abridged and taken away upon the ground of facts. Facts have been stated to exist, but 1 am authorised here to tell this House, that there is a cloud of witnesses ready to disprove them.—(hear, hear !) This is not like any ordinary question with respect to foreign trade—it is unlike a question as to the consolidation of the Excise and Custom Laws, or any other question on which a man who reads the Statutes on the subject would be'sufliciently informed.. It was not like the abuses in the Courts of Chan cery, and here came in the argument as to notoriety. 'When the Honourable Member • for Lincoln presented his Petition against the abuses in the Court. of Chancery, he dial not confine himself to mere statement ; he laid facts before the House, and backed those facts with all the powers of eloquence and inge nuity, and ridicule, which he called in play . on the occasion. Is it not too much, then, to refuse the admission of facts on the present occasion ? The Catholics of Ireland are anxious and ready to meet this question fairly. They have got evidence to contradict the allegations against them, and they authorise me, in their name, to tell this House, that they have a cloud of evi dence, parole and documentary, with which they are ready to substantiate every particular of their most crying wrongs. It is much then to refuse to hear them. It is much, on the state ment of an individual, pledging himself that he is so authorised to produce evidence; to say " we don't care ; we must go on ; we don't care one rush for your evidence; a delay of even forty-eight hours would be dangerous ; we don't want to see these Petitions ; they lititint us continhallY ; we have enough ill-treated the Catholics—we had rather not come face to face with them—we have done them harm enough already—we are determined to carry the Bill, and therefore we will add insult to injury." Sir, I eritertaip - no manner of doubt that if you open your door to this evidence, you will shut it to this Bill. - Now, Sir, example is worth a great deal more than reasoning ; and I think I can shew you that even a slight subject may admit of a good deal of light. The house cannot 'forget the small and choice collection of facts introduced by the Right Honourable Gentleman on the other side. In the case of Hanley the soldier, when I first heard of it, rupder stood it was a case of prosecution Of the Catholic Association. overwhelming this poor man by a combination ofall the weight and influence of the Catholic Body, and supported by the . strength of the purse formed by the Catholic-rent. That..was the gist . of the argument ; and w h en y ou were t o ld th a t a ll t hi s rdigunis feeling was armed against him for the purpose of overwhelming him, would not every man in his senses have ;- supposed that Hanley was both a Protestant and an t'ranga i man ? I never doubted it for a moment; but, Sir, - he was a Catholic and an Irishman. The Catholic Association prbsa cuted this Catholic for administering unlawful oaths ; and thusa you see, how good it is to inquire into facts, and not. rush ignorantly into opinions and measures when evidence can he adduced ; and 1 challenge the strictest inquiry,—l invite she most close cross-examination—and I wish this to be . the gatins let through which the eviderce should run. When that evi dence is thoroughly sifted, I pledge myself to quiet the cla mours which are raised, that the Catholic A: s xiation is decid edly hostile to 'the high Church establishment. o far fessoi that being co, the most eminent indiv:deals ranong those who • compose that e‘sseciation, however sincere tkeir love May he for their religion - however conscientious their devotion to . 41 . , interests of their own Church—how muc h sosver t he y ma smart under the Established Church, they deprecate the ides: of transferring one tithe part of one tithe sheaf from the Pio • testant to the Catholic hierarchy. Why, this speaks volumes. Now, Sit, these are the samples of the evidence' we are peepared to produce ; and I desire to be distinctly inarstised e that there is no pretence for saying that delay is our objects-that.wp e w e sh to postpone the second reading. I desire it to". he unites:stop:l that the witnesses are all here in Londou. BetweeintiVenty and thirty of them have already arrived, and before the House has gone through the examination of them, the rest will be here. It is not to make a speech that they conic here. Th e ' inot splendid talents have never been denied them. The greatness of their accomplishments has been 'conceded' on all hauds the subject of just panegyric. But it is not to hear them de 'claim, or to hear them reason, that they wish to come to the bar of this House, but to clear their own conduct; to explain their own motives which - are aspersed; to vindicate their own Association which has been aspersed ; to vindicate their owu countrymen who have been aspersed, and to maintain their own religion which has been aspersed. These are the higher objects they have in view. But, however repugnant you may_ be to their telling their own story, however unwilling_ , ac;:: may be to hear them clear themselves a t your har e r morally certain, if you dhl acquiesce in the prayer c i, n n ttcr petition, you would. come out of the inquiry I' successful or not, lics would depart from your bar, whether the hearts of carrying to the bosom of their country, and 'delight at your conciliation. ia s a h tth c i oo d nl memberscs, Io If then, a t u s t_h ; e o l eh,n a t vai . l:: :h satisfied with yourselves ; and those who represeiimtne Cattoa he their countrymen, affection, gratitude, nna re, is all that jaa , T e ' l a s e n o,(Hear, hear treatment of them, which, with this can do, namely, to . gag . the people of sr' , You increase their penal disqualification.ea - s the language or spirit them justice. lam not now while you refuse talki t T a l history of this country, of party t. but I ask aou when, iu t conciliating the tlics had you a better opportunity ° ,d - leaders, and the most di You have the most t iistinou l l s , ' . sociation ; you have, in fact, all •T e c if e ring to solemnize a compact . of Pepresentatives of the people Of the h ought to be the Representatives ,of England, or those accede to this 'propesition, you m ay the people, refuse , eino see thskigh . ont day he re !)-.—lt May be well :for 'you to live tt o del): j ore o .- a t this Association:—it- May be well for Lord i t l h ea e r youngest man - among ii c sv u he r r 0:00;nte lore ..`t:.~;
