The Coosa were of opinion that :.no sufficient ground had been shown in opposition to the motion, and assigned the cause for hearing and sentence accorffingly. A considerable discussion. hereupon took place, upon Dr. Addams praying to be beard upon his petition, to which Dr. Lushington insisted, and the Condeiegates de cided, he had no right. _ Dr. JEN>.ZER, as amicus curia, begged to observe that the position laid down by Dr. Addams was incorrect. When a motion was made by a party, and the decision was against him, he then had a right to be beard on his petition. Dr. ADDAMS desired that his application, and the re jection of it by the Court, might be taken down by the Registrar. This cause will now proceed in the High Court of Delegates, notwithstanding the Writ of Error in the House of Lords. SHERIFF'S COURT, RED LION-SQUARI, MAY 26. CRLII. CON. RAWLINGS V. MARSH. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, a surgeon, for criminal con versation with the plaintiff's wife. Mr. C. PHILLIPS was for the plaintiff: he waited a considerable time in the expectation that Counsel would appear for the defence, but no one appeared. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury. It was not, he said, his fault that the case was apparently undefended and de prived of the skill and ability of a professional man,—that no attempt was to be made to mitigate, by one shilling, the damages sought, for the greatest injury which one man could inflict upon another. By coming into the Sheriff's Court, the defendant had supplied abundant evidence that he had inflicted that injury; and submitted himself to whatever award the Jury should think proper to make in a case which was incapable of palliation. The extent of the loss sustained by the unfortunate husband would be proved by his sister, who had been in the habit of witness. ing his connubial happiness, ever since the marriage took place which had been thus violated. Mrs. Rawlings was the daughter of a gentleman named Williams, who had re tired from trade after having realized a fortune of 80,0001. and resided at Cheltenham ; she was at the time of her marriage about 20 years of age, and the plaintiff had not ex ceeded 26, so that there existed no pretence of disparity in that respect. He (the Learned Counsel) dial not know how the in timacy commenced, but the defendant, having the manners, appearance, and rank of a gentleman, found no difficulty in gainia an introduction and an access to the house of the s - Rm ily w liose peace he Lad succeeded in destroying. Whe ther those qualities entitled him to impunity upon seducing the wife,of an honest tradesman, it was for a jury of honest tradesmen to determine. It was for them to decide whe ther they did not estimate the purity of their homes as highly as those regarded their own honour who were dis tinguished by the most elevated situation in life. It was unnecessary to produce evidence of the marriage. The most important testimony with which he should trouble the jury, was a mass of correspondence of no ordinary nature, from which the criminal act could not but be inferred. The correspondence certainly contained, as most correspondence upon subjects of the kind usually did, such a heap of non sense, that it was necessary to bespeak the patience of the jury, however interesting the letters might be to persons of levity and idleness. One thing they would prove at any rate,—that his client was quite in the dark during the pro gress which the defendant was making in the affections of his wife. The injunctions to the closest secrecy were fre quent and imperative; and there were other circumstances in the correspondence which showed that there was a great dread of detection. (The Learned Counsel here read some quotations from the correspondence which excited much laughter, and a very eager curiosity for , the produc tien of the whole of the written evidence.) It was, he said, then manifest that the plaintiff was ignorant of the dishonour meditated against him. It was equally evident that he was • not a careless, brutal, or im moral husband. The letters which were intended to make the unfortunate woman break her marriage vow of fidelity, were filled with assurances of the possession of that very quality in the highest possible degree. Her seducer had succeeded by such weapons in gaining the affections of the wife of a man who had regarded her with love of the purest, affection of the tenderest, and fidelity of the most sacred kind ; and yet he asked her whether she doubted his honnar or his love. Whatever other charms or incantations he had thought necessary to use, he had calculated upon the effect of poetry in aid of his designs ; and he accordingly interspersed scraps of rhyme in his beautiful effusions. From some of those effu. golfs it was evident that the defendant was apprehensive that his victim would be separated from him. He pro posed flight, but the plaintiff was to learn his disgrace be fore she left him. The first intimation he received he could not credit. After having made some observations upon the heartlessness of the defendant, the Learned Counsel declared that the city of London would, on Tuesday next, witness the public execution of some un fortunate men—one of them, perhaps, had stolen a sheep or a few shillings. How trifling was such an offence com pared with that of the spbber of domestic happiness ! Mr. Phillips then called the following witnesses :-- Mrs. Mary Anne Rodway, the sister of the plaintiff, de posed that the plaintiff and his wife had lived upon the best possible terms. She had frequent opportunities of wit nessing their domestic happiness, having often been on a visit with them for a fortnight together. Her brother t eas about 28 years of age, and his wife was 22, and a renivkablY fine woman. Her father had retired from business; and was possessed of considerable property. Plain tiff an d hi s wife seemed to be greatly attached. The wife always po k e the husband in terms of the most enthusi astic affection. Mrs. Deborah On'en, of Duke-street, Stamford-street, of February the defendant took deposed, that on the 20 t h apartments in her house, anJ introduced the plaintiff's wife as Mrs. Marsh; and since that period had cohabited with her as a man with his wife. " " John Reed, attorney of Cheltenham, deposed that he went to the house of the last witness on Friday, and saw defendant and plaintiff's wife together. When he lamented to them the circumstance that had taken place, and told the defendant that there was abundance of evidence against them in Lis letters, the defendant asked him " what let ters 1" Witness showed to him the letters alluded to in the counsel's speech, which letters he at once admitted to be his. The defendant was about 28 years of age ; witness could not say what property he possessed. The letters fro ,m the defendant, which be had frequently requested Mrs. Rawlings would burn, but which she used to place carefully uncle: her pillow every night, were then read. It was the practice of the defendant to direct them to different persons, and to address them to the Post-office, to remain there till called for. The folio oring are extracts from the defendant's letters : d My dear, dear Pally,—Since I parted with you my mini has been dwelling with anxious pleasing anticipation on this hour (for I fear I shall not be able to see you this evening), and how it has evinced I am doomed to deplore, with many others, the total inadequacy of language to convey to you the feelings which actuate me. I could throw d own m y nen as useless; but the delightful conviction that I am ako.-ding you pleasure impels me to continue.

I have not now the usual consolation of looking forward to this - evening, but must pass another who2f , day without you, and in love's hours there are many days; The hurried manner in which we last parted has not tended to sooth .my uneasiness. Oh, my dear Mary ! Never again ask me, do you love another ? As you can have no other cause, shall I suppose that your own changing feelings dictated the question ? No, heaven forbid ; I will not, dare ,not, cannot think so. _ _ .

This shall be remedied, and I will restrain the exuberance of speech which trenches so much on your female prerogative —but you will believe me when I say with Othello.— ' Oh, my sweet, I prattle out of fashion, and I dote In mine own comfort.' I think I hear you exclaim, ' What a tedious homily have you wearied your parishioners withal,' and never cried,— ' Have patience, good people ;' but as you told me to say all I felt and thought, even to the utmost trifle, I trust you will find some little circumstance to qualify your impatience at my long narrations. I am very anxious to hear how you effected your return last night from the garden, whe ther without suspicion or no; for I could not but observe the anxiety, the unusual anxiety, depicted in your expres sive countenance, by, what I thought and feared, appre hensions of the consequences. Hasten to tell my fears are groundless, and I shall be happy. Do not misunderstand me. My fear is for you only. For myself I think not, when so infinitely superior a motive actuates me. I could not consider any thing fraught with danger that led me to your arms. To form and partake the happiness of the being I adore would make every hazard contemptible, and rouse and justify the utmost efforts of human resolution.

On that day was my love stamped with a character it possessed not be fore The virtue of love is fidelity. I promise to be inviolably faithful to you. You are the sovereign mistress of my affections, and will continue to command them to the last hour of my existence.

My dear, dear, dear Polly,—l write perhaps wildly, my dear girl, and lam sure, hastily—l have stolen away from expecting friends, to afford myself at least a short pleasure from heartless unmeaning discourse, for I cannot, by any worldly cares or pleasures, divest my mind for a moment of your dear, dear self, Polly, Polly, Polly— " Thine image only shall my breast employ, " And fill my captiv'd soul with shades of joy ; . .

I have feared, my love, frequently since last evening, that you would give me no thanks for conductinc , you such a ditty walk as I did. The sun shines upon the rest of the world at this moment, but my sun is withdrawn and I am in darkness, deprived of the light of Mary's eyes. I shall never know happiness, indeed, until they shine upon me constantly. I coukllly to you on the wings of love in a mo ment, but they are, I fear, effectually clipped to-night, and will prevent my indulging in such a delightful excursion•— I will say not to-night, that means all night, and I am sure I cannot sleep if I do not at first see at least the house which contained all I value on earth. I shall have the consolation of gazing on the room where you will be re posing, and perhaps, Oh, blissful thought ! dreaming of me, for you say, my dear girl, that you always do so. . . . I conclude, my dear dear love, with Plamdreas' request to his mistress. Take it to yourself.

The greatest misery I feel, the only one that I have comparatively to complain of, is my separa tion from you. "Parting may be sweet sorrow to some people, my dear Mary. To me it is sorrow without qualification. ' Love,' says the poet, ' is the daughter of idleness, but the mother of disquietude.' To the latter part of the doctrine I wil lingly subscribe ; for oh ! what disquietude do I feel at the thoughts of an absence, however short, according to com mon computation, from the idol of my soul—from all my soul holds dear. The spring is not so welcome to the earth, the moon to the lark, nor the night to the owl, as the form of Mary to my eyes—the voice of Mary to my ears : all is night and darkness when you are from me.

"My dearest Mary,—l have a particular question to put to you respecting something that was said last night.

Was it to lately as six weeks since that your kindness to him was manifest? 'lake care of yourself in every sense of the word. Beware of irritat ing by injudicious bickering. Firmness, without exaspe rating language, will be every way better. Besides, my dear love, if he had not power, how could he enrage you. There is something, also, very unfeminine in constant, loud, and angry altercation and scuffling. Be careful and regular in taking your medicine. Remember that, with your own, you have my health in care, and be proportiona bly attentive. The health and happiness of three depend upon you. I shall be miserable my dearest love, till I bear from you, and that you are ' as well as can be ex pected.'

As for the other I hold him undeserving of a thought ; nor could I, professing a spark of proper feeling, do snore than defend myself against his puny attack. I say, without boasting, that it will be well for him henceforth studiously to avoid me.—Your affectionate and attached, but wretched - " J. M." The last of the letters of the defendant to the plaintiff's wife contains the following:— " I dare not ask how yesterday evening passed off. It was unavoidable; but the knowledge that you even slept in the house after the scene of yesterday morning is ago nizing to me. The event of yesterday has rendered my longer dwelling here totally impossible. Every hour may bring my departure : therefore urge forward some place that may remove you from your present abode, or throw you into my arms for ever. You will pardon me, my love, for saying, that I think you do not, and have not, sufficiently pressed forward the negociations for separation. I implore you, at any rate, to see me speedily. I have a thousand things to say, and may be gone far from you be fore I have an opportunity. And what will then by my fate? Madness or death. The defendant, after the desired interview, came up to town in the Berkeley Hunt coach, under the name of Roberts, and was speedily followed by the unfortunate woman. The Under-Sheriff briefly recapitulated the evidence, and the jury, after two hours' deliberation, assessed the damages at 7001. Many stories are told of the hair-breadth escapes which the defendant had, during his stolen visits to the house of the plaintiff: one deserves to be noticed. Some time after the defendant became criminally intimate with Mrs. Rawlings, she absented herself from her husband's bed on pretence of indisposition, and took the servant girl to sleep with her. One evening the husband entered his wife's room to ask after her health. He approached the bed, and laid his hand, as he thought, upon the shoulder of the servant-maid. His wife reproached him for the indelicacy, and insisted on his leaving the room. He did so ; but he met the servant-girl on the stairs. He returned, in order to punish his disho nour, but was too late to prevent a leap out of the window. On Friday week the child of a man named Vincent, w. l l O resides near Redruth, was bitten by an adder on the upper lip whilst playing i n a 41eld, The reptile sprang at her from a hedge, and coiled itself 'about her head ; as soon as it had inflicted the wound it fled and .escaped.

We alluded some short time since to this very attractive Exhibition, but in so hasty and im perfect a manner that we are here induced to re sume the subject. The specimens, indeed, are among the choicest of, modern sculpture, and deserve ample consideration : with many of them the public has been for some time familiar, through the medium of the Royal Academy; but the most important one, namely the Colossal Figure of Christ on the Cross, is now, we be lieve, for the first time exhibited. On this very imposing work of art, Mr. Sievier has ex pended infinite time, labour, and ability.— In its anatomical proportions he has studied nature with rigid accuracy, while in its more lofty characteristics he has proved himself pos sessed of corresponding power. The moment chosen, is that, when the thrill of torture having passed by, our Saviour, faint and debilitated, is calmly resigning himselfto death. Accordingly, the convulsive contractions of the body are re presented as having progressively relapsed into that sort of flaccid debility the forerunner of immediate dissolution. The muscles of the arms (which are both nailed to the cross) hang loose and pendent, the head is slightly up turned, and over the pale wasted countenance an expression of pain yet lingers, chastened and sub dued by the sublime impress of divinity. So well has Mr. SIEVIER illustrated his subject, that the very hour tells itself; there needs no pamphlet to detail what the sculpture itself ex plains ; the cold marble warmed into life by the Promethean fire of genius, lives, breathes, and is its own historian. We understand that this mag nificent performance is to be appropriated as an altarpiece to some Cathedral. We are glad of this, it is precisely the sort of thing that would suit the majestic simplicity of such architecture. At Ely, for instance, it would form a suitable ad dition to the beauties of its fine old Cathedral. Among the minor specimens of sculpture in an inner room, is the beautiful statue of Pity, the idea of which is confessedly derived from Mrs. Barbauld's sweet apologue. This is a very choice production and characteristically con veys the meaning it was intended to shadow forth. Mr. SIEVIER, indeed, shines most, in in giving effect to the softer expressions, he rarely attempts, we believe, to pourtray the stronger and sterner emotions ; but his delineations of the female figure, are grace, beauty, and softness personified. Nothing can equal the rich deli cacy of his Graces, whether we look to the grouping, the finish, or the soft yet chastened voluptuousness of the expression. This cluster, we must confess, is our especial favourite, and reminds us more strongly than any other modern works of art with which we are acquainted, of the picturesque effect of Canova's females. We are glad, among Mr. SlEvrEß's other performances, to see an expressive bust of Daniel Moore, Esq. a gentleman well known for his numerous but unostentatious charities. The monument of the late Thomas Dibdin, which is intended for St. Paul's, is also, we perceive, among the pre sent specimens, and is finished with much care and attention to propriety. Lord Eldon too is here, and ample justice is done to the deep yet mild thought of his countenance, as also to the keen and subtle expression or the late Lord Gifford. On the whole, we know of no exhi bition more deserving of attention than the pre sent ; it is popular and deservedly so, as well from the choice of its subjects, as the tried abili ties of the sculptor. ESCAPE OF IKEY SOLOMONS. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) Ikey Solomons, who was a few days ago com mitted from Lambeth-street, for having in his possession an immense quantity of stolen pro perty, made his escape on Friday from the of ficers of Newgate. It appears Solomons was brought up on that day to the Court of King's Bench, on habeas corpus, to be bailed. The habeas, it is supposed, was obtained in pursu ance of a conspiracy to effect a rescue. The affi davits were produced in the Court of King's Bench, but the application was unsuccessful, as was no doubt anticipated by Solomons and his party. Two turnkeys—Smart, who has been in that situation 17 years, and a young man—were sent with him. Solomons' wife accompanied him in the coach, and her father sat on the box with the coachman. They left Westminster for Newgate about half past 12 o'clock. Solomons sat between the turnkeys, on one side the coach, his wife sat on the other. Solomons requested the turnkeys to allow the coach to go a little out of the direct way, that he might set his wife down at a friend's. To this they consented, having no suspicion that an escape was medi tated. The coach having been driven for a longer time out of the route to Newgate than the turnkeys had intended, Smart began to ex postulate with Solomons, and told him it was impossible to continue any longer in that direc tion. Solomons assured him, they were then just at the place, and the coach, which by this time had reached Bishopsgate-street, turned into Petticoat-lane, and stopped. The door was quickly opened, and out jumped Solomons. A party of Jews, who were waiting, instantly shut the coach door, and kept it closed. As soon as the turn keys could get out, they saw Solomons at a dis tance, running as if for his life : they raised a cry of stop thief, and pursued with all their might, but Solomons was seen to turn down one of the alleys in Petticoat-lane, and has not since been heard of. The astonishment and mortifica tion of the turnkeys at losing their prisoner was great ; and when they returned to Newgate with their story, it produced an unusual sensation amongst the ministers of the law. A reward of 501. has been offered for the apprehension of Solomons, and never before were the city police more on the alert. On Friday, evening Mr. Cope, the city marshal, took two officers to the house of Solomon's father-in-law, in Petticoat lane, on the supposition that lie might possibly be there concealed. They, however, found no person there but Solomons' mother-in-law, who refused to answer any questions. The officers searched the house in the strictest manner, and though they did not find Solomons, they dis covered an immense quantity of property, of which no doubt can be entertained of its having been stolen. There were upwards of 50 gold and silver watches, and more than 200 gold rings and seals ; and several dozens of valuable shawls, the whole of which were taken away by the officers. A person, extensively in trade, has identified some of the shawls as having been stolen from his house, where a burglary was committed some months ago. It is probable the owners of all the property - will be enabled to re cover what they have lost, by identifying it ; and the city officers appear confident that Solomons cannot bag escape their vigilance.

Tried by every kind of adverse fortune, re generated in the face of the world by the baptism of blood, glorious from her martyrs, proud for her he roes, a secret presentiment whispers that a powerful Monarch is about to stretch out his protecting hand towards her. It was known at Constantinople pre vious to the departure of the last courier, that Count Capo d'lstria had been recalled to St. Petersburg.— This circumstance, which coincides with the arrival of Lord Cochrane at Egina, and the late diplomatic notes of MM. de Ribeaupierre and S. Canning, prove that the obsolete tract of Austrian polities has been at length, abandoned. The Porte, it is said, will not yield, which will be a fortunate thing ; for after the first gun is tired on the Danube, no treaty will be entered into with the Turks but on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus • and Europe will thus be for ever delivered f rom that political and moral stain which, for upwards of four centuries, has afflicted the eyes of Christendom. (From the Constitutionnel.) CORFU, APRIL 24.—Colonel Fabvier has, at last, again made his appearance amongst his troops. The wound which had confined him to his chamber for a fortnight is quite cured. Colonel Ch. Heidegger, who is charged with the blockade of the Island of Eubcea, has effected a landing at Oropos, where he took from the enemy' three pieces of cannon, and a large quantitf of provisions. Th e G ree k sailors charged the NegTopontans carabine in hand, with so much impetuosity that they allowed them no time for firing their muskets. The Greek Deputies who were assembled at Egina, and those who were at Castri, have proceeded to Poros, where they continued their deliberations. They have already decreed, by a fundamental law, that the Greek Government ceases to be provisional. Its form is to be representative, and its President is to be appointed for ten years. By a letter addressed by General Karaiskaki to the National Assembly, it appears that this brave Chief has taken from the enemy 18. field-pieces, 234 cavalry horses, 2,000 muskets, all fit f or serv i ce . The number f prisoners in his custody exceeds 400; the greatest part of whom are Turks of distinction.

I hasten, Gentlemen, to apprise you of the fol lowing intelligence which I received officially. Extract of a letter from Colonel Heydeck, ad dressed to me from Poros, on the 12th and 15th of April. " The Assembly of Damala, (distant a league and a half from this place,) has with general applause, appointed Count Capo d'lstria as President of Greece for seven years, with the same power and attributes as those of the President of the United States. Should the Count not accept this appoint ment, a fresh Assembly will be convoked to form a new choice. Lord Cochrane has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Greek Navy, which is declared to be the National Navy—(He has accept ed the same.) General Church has been appointed Commander of the Land Forces—(he likewise ac cepted it.) A Commission, consisting of twelve Members, is to be charged with forming the Consti tution. Until the arrival of Count C a p o d'l s t r i a , , three Provisional Governors are to be named— Mackris for the Islands ; Pietro-Bey Mauromichale for the Morea; and Nakos for Romelia." Fabvier defends himself gallantly in the citadel of Athens. The expedition of Oropos has succeeded; we have destroyed the magazines, and captured two brigs laden with provisions. Cochrane has issued an energetic proclamation, announcing to the army that Kintachi will no longer receive any supply. We are informed that a formidable expedition is preparing in Egypt, destined against Hydra, which will be vigorously defended, &c. s lf that island succumbs, G en tl e m en , d o no t d es p a i r of the salvation of Greece ; but regret the fresh ca lamities of humanity, and the new disasters which await commerce. If the island of Hydra be sacked, all its inhabitants will turn pirates, like those of Chio and Ipsara. Its mariners will find themselves compelled to become rovers on the high seas. Mr. d'Heydeck writes to me on the 17th :-- '" We have this moment received the news of the capture of a beautiful corvette destined for Mehemed Ali, &c.'' He adds : " The provisions which reached us admitted of a distribution to all the troops ; the money served for paying the maritms and sol diers who had received nothing this lotig while. But in the name of God continue your supplies ; let all the Committee unite' for the purpose of making fresh efforts. If we have the means we shall resist both the Turks and ggyptitws ; but if resources fail us this country is lost. The mariners and soldiers only remain as )opg under our standard as they can give bread to their wives and. children. Did you b ut know the frightful misery which reigns 41,11AngSt the inhabitants you would tremble. These women and children abandoned by the men, who combat, inspire inexpressible pity. The thing must be seen in order to be credited. What an excellent people these Greeks are ! What fine characters are met with amongst the lowest classes ! What patience ! And what a misfor tune it is that the chiefs are so muchcorrupted bythepre ceding despotism ! But now all dissensions have ceased, both military and civil chiefs are unanimous in the choice they have made. During the assembly, the President asked me, whether I had any propositions to make. I replied that as a foreigner I had no vote in the affairs of Greece; but that, as a Phil hellene, I begged leave, merely by way of advice, to repeat a single phrase written for them in a letter I had receired from my Sovereign :—" Greeks be united, be agreed ; for this is necessary for you be fore all this gs." The Assembly unanimously thanked my virtuous Sovereign for the interest which he condescended to take in the fate of wretched Greece ! By giving you this extract, Gentlemen, I can only solicit all the divers Committees to redouble your zeal. Let us make some further slight sacrifices, and, under Divine protection, we shall soon arrive at the period when more powerful assistance than ours will save Greece. Humanity—the interests of commerce, alike require that these disasters and pi racies should terminate. I am, &c. ( Signed) J. G. EYNARD. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. Edward Davenport--Select Committee to inquire into the causes of the severe distress which has af flicted the Commercial and Industrious classes of the Community during the last and present years. The Yacht Club are preparing to assemble at their old quarters in the Southampton River and the Isle of Wight. Several new yachts have been built during the winter by young Noble men, who have joined the club this season for the first time. We percieve a broom is hoisted on the mast of the Scorpion yacht, a distinguished favourite, we suppose for sale, in consequence of the noble owner becoming a member of the Go vernment, and being therefore obliged to relin quish his aquatic excursions. THE ENTERPRISE.--This vessel is to be unlocked to-day, having been fitted with a false keel, and had a piece joined to ,the bottom of her rudder. We have conversed with some of her officers, who state that they are now per fectly satisfied with her capabilities as a sea boat, and that she is excellently adapted to the service for which she is intended. It appears that her not answering to her helm, was entirely owing to the shortness of the rudder. The En terprise is flat-bottomed, and when she was taken in tow by the Columbine, off Scilly, she was two feet deeper at the bow than at the stern; consequently the rudder was lifted nearly out of the water, and became useless. We regret to say that much insubordination exists on board the Enterprise. Many complaints have been made at our Town-Hall by the crew, against the officers, but, with one exception, the charges haye been dismissed by the Magistrate#,,m DempQrt lickgraph Sqturfiay, LONDON, .MONDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1827. We have received an Express, with the Coats Autlientique of Saturday : 5 per Cents. 10 0 E 65c.; 3 per Cents. 70f. 65c. This rise was the cause by the favourable reception of Lora GRANVILLE. The Morning Post has lately become a veil lively paper, and h as thi s d ay put f ort h an a rticle full of fun and humour. It is headed , 4 Anti' cipation," but of the pleasures of anticipation one is cruelly deprived by reading in the very next line that it is an " account of the proceedings of the ll° Club to be held this day." We should have satisfied ourselves with selfishly enjoying in private this rich treat of refined irony, had it not been Or that portion of it which is calculated to c onvey to the readers of that journal, an erroneous impression regarding the opinions of t he , two highest Personages in the realm--' e Sovereign on the Th rone , an d the gei'' Presumptive—on the subject of Catholic Ewan' , cipation. The facetious writer of this ar ticle makes Mr. CANNING address the Meeting in s style of impassioned eloquence wonderfully m.ilar to what we could fancy coming f r om the lips of the Right Hon. Gentleman ; but the pal l , with which the writer is evidently most pleased? (from his affixing incessant cheers) is wher e ' Mr. CANNING is made to say, with some hale alliteration, that his MAJESTY will never eon" sent to the concession of a single privilege to th e Roman Catholics. It is not for us to imitate others in impertinen statements respecting opinions which nothing • but a gross breach of privilege can induee Duke or Bishop to divulge, though he s hould be acquainted with them. But though fully aware 1 10 delicate the subject is, we cannot suffer injury In e cause which we have so much at heart, withou t giving our idea of the probable state of th e Royal Mind on this subject, founding hypothesis on no pretended information respec t ' ing what passes in the sacred privacy of audienc e° , granted to subjects, but on a knowledge of "thy Royal Character (familiar to .a 11), di s ti ng uished as it is for cultivated talent, a knoWledge o f the , Constitution of his kingdoms, and a sincere ef" fection for his people. We will admit, for the sake of argument, tha t , his MAJESTY h as not hi t h erto, express o' himself favourable to the Catholic Claims. M in his own Royal Person, a third part of thQ , legislature, and consequently holding the high privilege of a v e t o o n th e ac t s o f t h e other, ' two branches, we humbly express our o piniom that the KING has acted with perfect wis; dom in the cour se w hi c h h e h as a d opte d , 91 ' that he would be fully justified in exercising that veto, did Mr. CANNING or any o ther` Minister rashly take it up as a pstg . question, and force the Bill through th e two Houses. His MAJESTY, we r e peat it . ° would be justified in refusing his Royal asse and would be borne out in so doing by the opt' pions of his people, the majority of wh° (leaving out as the Orangemen do, only 0 f third) are not di s p ose d yet to a d mit seven 10114 lions of Catholics to the privileges of the SW' We think them mad on this subject, and shenl e. fully deluded, through the artifices th a t NO been practised on them by wicked and int er ested individuals. But even their prejudice and weaknesses must be respected by the SOVEREIGN, and until a change has he els effected by fair means (of which, till n° / !: there has been no chance from the bovnti offered to bigotry), we say, th a t it wou ld b e mos t unreasonable to expect the SOVEREIGN, eV ell if favourably disposed, to expose himself to tilt storm which would inevitably burst on his Roy head, raised and di rec t e d b y m i screa nts who not ( profess themselves the exclusive friends of sh e State. But the case being altered alters the case! and if that question so dear to all but the selfigm'''' -°_, l the t og hope cruel,g i ve epe i t wil l, i t f a ir o r play t h e underbya Government deluded, n ot interfering wit h' gai ns , groun d, we reeor ) then we think that a Bill passed by Isc l majorities in both Hou ses , an d popu l a r the nation, would come before the Sovereign r : f a very different s h a p e , an d that Ma 1V1AJE 91 ,, , ,, would joyfully acce d e to a p l an by n'it;f he would secure the eternal gratitude eye ° millions yet unborn.
