He concluded by substituting the following Address : TO HIS MAJESTY, GEORGE THE FOURTH. The Dutiful and Humble Address of a large body of his Majesty's Subjects, assembled in Public Meeting, in the Parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, in the city of West minster, this 14th day of May, in the year 1827.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 12.—We have received a letter from Lisbon, dated the 2d instant, which states that it is probable the British troops and squa dron will be withdrawn from Lisbon before the end of July. We are assured that it has been intimated to Sir Pulteney Malcolm, who was appointed to succeed Lord Amelius Beauclerk, in the command at Lis bon, that it is likely his services will not be required, as it is not intended to keep a line-of-battle ship in the Tagus. The Revenge, 74, which was ordered to take Sir Pulteney to Lisbon, is now to be re-com missioned by Captain Norborne Thompson, as a guard-ship at this port. This morning the William Harris transport, Lieu tenant Steeven, Agent, returned from the Island of Ascension, having landed there the variegated cargo of live stock—hares, rabbits, pheasants, partridges, &c. vegetable seeds, agricultural implements, and a supply of necessaries, with which he sailed from England a few months since, for the supply of that garrison. She also took thither poultry and horses from Jago. The Island was very healthy. She left it on the 21st of March. At her departure, she had on board 13.5 fine turtle (many of them weighed upwards of six hundred weight each), of which num ber 119 died on the passage, and were thrown over board. They were intended for his Majesty, Lord Yarborough, and other Noblemen. On Monday morning, Capt. W. A. D. Hamilton and the Officers of his Majesty's ship Dotterel, landed here from Bermuda, which island they left on the Gth ult. in the Marchioness of Queensberry packet. The Dotterel having crossed the Gulf of Florida, eleven times, in gales of wind, during the last winter, and being, subsequently, nearly lost in a gale, while conveying the Halifax mail from Ber muda, was thereby so much crippled as not to be able to make the passage to England. She was therefore paid off, and converted into a powder ves sel at Bermuda. The Thetis frigate, Capt. A. B. IBingham, had arrived from England, with Lord Va -1 lentia and Colonel Cockburn, whom the Niemen frigate, Capt. Canning, afterwards took on board, and sailed on the 3d ult. with them to Halifax.— These Commissioners are appointed to finally settle upon the boundary line of the British provinces, and to make arrangements for the reception and lo cation of emigrants, who are to be conveyed thither by the Government, from the United Kingdom, during the present season. The Thetis was about to leave Bermuda for the South American station, to relieve the Blanche; the Orestes, for Newfound land; the Ringdove, for the Bay of Fundy; the Jupiter, Admiral W. Lake, for Halifax. The winter season at Bermuda had been remarkably mild and healthy. A Court Martial was held at Bermuda on the 3d ult., on Mr. T. G. M'Murray, Purser of the Dotterel, on a charge of drunkenness, of which he was acquitted ; afterwards on a charge of making a false issue of provisions, of which he was found guilty, and sentenced to be dismissed from his ship. The Marchioness of Queensberry packet left Vera Cruz and Havannah previous to the accounts brought thence by the Tweed. Lieutenants Col quhoun and Tindal, agents for the Real del Monte Mine, and Mr. Holdsworth, agent for the Bolanos Mine, came passengers. Sir Thomas Hardy's experimental squadron was at anchor in Bantry Bay on the 29th ult., intending to sail the next day, to rejoin the Columbine, off Scilly. The squadron had encountered a slight gale of wind from the eastward, in which all the ships behaved well. The Satellite and Acorn were taking in about 1.5 tons of stone ballast, and raking their masts. The Sapphire had improved in the general opinion of the squadron. His Majesty's ship Romney is fitting at this port to take troops to Canada, to relieve others that have been many years in that colony. It is suggested, that if, instead of bringing . the men home, an offer were made them to locate in the country, it would be attended with a considerable saving of expence, and prevent, in a degree, the necessity of emigrating a certain number of young men, who, of coarse, would be wanting to fill up the vacancies thereby occasioned in the regiments.—Hampshire Telegraph. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 13.—Wind, N.N.E.—This morning his Majesty's ship, Galatea, Captain Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart., arrived at Spithead.— Yesterday, his Danish Majesty's brig, Saint Jane, Captain Thompson, arrived from Copenhagen, to embark the Governor-General of St. Croix. His Majesty's ship Revenge, was also yesterday recom missioned by Captain Norborne Thompson, and at high water the Victory was taken into dock. Lieut. Christopher Smith has been appointed to the Re venge, and Lieut. Charles Inglis as supernumerary Lieut. of the Royal Charlotte yacht. _ _ . _ AGGREGATE Rye, 39—Tares,. 5054 I (TITY c .Linseed I, O—H, 11342 I QUA N' 147-1 tustard 5158 I )1r OTIT 1, 29—: [emp, 121430 IER K 1 .Rapese 3193 rns a 322 I PULS] .Brank, :, 5--- SMITHFIELD MARKET.

On Thursday, a boy tendered to a silver smith in this City, some pieces of tea-spoons for sale (marked " H.") which had evidently been purposely broken and battered ; and seeing that this circumstance made an' unfavourable impres sion, the young rogue decamped before he could be secured. There is no doubt of the spoon or spoons having been stolen—most probably while the urchin pretended to be in distress,—servants should therefore be on their guard.

George Canning, Right Hon. C. Wynn, Right Hon. W. Huskisson, and Mr. Secretary Bourne. The Council did not break up till near five o'clock. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday afternoon, at one o'clock, at the residence of Mr. Canning, which sat in deliberation till half -past four o'clock. The Council was attended by all the Members of the new Cabinet. After the breaking up of the Cabinet, the Lord Chancellor and the Attorney-General had a consultation with Mr. Canning, Nshich lasted till half-past five o'clock. The Duke of Clarence attended at the Ad miralty on Saturday. His Royal Highness re ceived a number of visits from Flag Officers, with whom the Royal Duke transacted official business. The Duke of Clarence, the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princesses Vic toria and Feodore, visited the Princess Augusta, on Saturday. . The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester honoured the Marchioness of Hertford with their company, to dinner, on Friday, at her residence in Manchester-square. The Princess Augusta attended divine service yesterday morning, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace.—The Chapel was crowded by nobility and gentry ; among whom were—Earls Harrowby, Westmoreland, Digby, Talbot, Spen cer, and Pomfret ; Lords Arden and Hill ; and Sir G. Osborne. Yesterday the Duchess of Kent, and the Prin cesses Victoria and Feodore, attended Divine Service in the Private Chapel, in the King's Palace, Kensington. Yesterday, Mr. Canning had an audience of his Majesty. Count Munster had an audience of the King on Saturday. The Mai quis of Lansdowne had an interview with Mr. Canning on Saturday. Prince Lieven, the Russian Ambassador, vi sited Mr. Canning yesterday. Yesterday the Neapolitan Minister transacted business "with Viscount Dudley. Yesterday Mr. Peel gave a grand dinner to a number of distinguished Personages, -among whom were, the Dukes of Wellington, Montrose, Newcastle, Dorset, and Rutland ; Marquisses of Londonderry and Salisbury ; Earls of Westmor land, Bathurst, and Eldon ; Viscount Melville ; Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Sir Henry Hardinge, Sir Charles Wetherell, IVIr. W. Peel, Mr. G. Dawson, &c. It is said in the city, that twenty new Peers are to be created, and that the Hon. Baronet, the Member for Westminster, is to be one of hem. We are surprised to see the name of the Mar quis of Chandos at the head of a list of about half a dozen persons, who are candidates for ad missionithis year into the Pitt Club. We thought this folly had been at an end. Charles Mathews gave his " Trip to America," at the Lyceum Theatre, on Saturday evening, to a brilliant audience ; he was in high spirits, and every point, from General Jackson to the affect ing scene at the Boston Post-office, told. Miss Paton's retirement from Covent Garden Theatre has, we perceive, enabled Mr. Wallack to associate her unrivalled vocal talents with the sweet strains of Miss Stephens, in the Opera of Guy Manng . ring, which is to be acted at Drury lane Theatre next Friday. Brahaul, Liston, Miss Paton, Miss Stephens,. and Mrs. Bunn arc included in the powerful cast of this Opera on that occasion. We understand that Mr. 0. Smith is engaged to superintend the Melo-dramatic department at the English Opera House during the ensuing season. Yates closed a most successful season, with his " Portraits and Sketches," and his admirable monopolologue, called " Stop Thief," at the Adelphi Theatre, on Saturday evening. The Theatre was completely full, and the plaudits of the audience at the conclusion of the entertain ment sufficiently indicated the popularity of Mr. Yates, and a regret that, owing to a very im portant alteration connected with the interior building of this house, Mr. Yates was compelled to terminate his performances, for the present season, before the usual period. Since the retirement of Lord Eldon, and the new Judicial appointments, many notices of ail; peal for purposes of vexation or delay, have been withdrawn,—the parties apprehending the consequences of a hearing, from which, under the Eldon system, they were perfectly secure. This single circumstance speaks more to the shame of the Ex-Chancellor than volumes of de clamation. It has indeed been his unhappy pe culiarity that dry facts have always been the se verest satires on his conduct.—Morn. Chronicle.

Perth Courier. A TALKING BLACKBIRD..---An Officer of the Royal Navy, residing at Stonehouse, has in his possession a blackbird, who has been taught to sing " Hey the bonnie breast knots," and snatches of " Darby Kelly," and other songs. But the most curious is, that the very words of the first song are distinguishable, and his tones are rnort like the human voice than the usual whistling of the blackbird. He commonly sings by night, or in the fall of the evening !—Exeter Paper. At the last assizes held at Versailles, a female residing in the neighbourhood was convicted of a petty theft. " Marianne," began the Judg e , in passing sentence, " you have been fo un d guilty of stealing to the value of twenty sous." " Vcry good," interrupted the young lady, put ting her hand, with infinite nonchalance, into her pocket, " here is a thirty sous piece ; be so obliging as to favour me with the change." Doctor Hoadley Ashe, one of the guests (lately dead), was nephew of Dr. Hoadley who wrote the Suspicious Husband. I had the pleasure of sitting next Dr. Ashe at dinner, when he began a story with—" As eleven of my daughters and I were crossing Piccadilly,—" " Eleven of your daughters, doctor?" I rather rudely interrupted. " Yes, Sir," rejoined the Doctor. " I have nineteen daughters all living ; never had a son ; and Mrs. Ashe, myself, l i and nineteen female Ashe plants, sit down one-and-twenty to dinner every day. Sir, lam smothered with petticoats."—Literary Gaz. LIES OP THE DAY. We understand that Mr. Peel has applied for a warrant against an itinerant musician, for singing " Home sweet Home" under his windows. It is currently reported that Lord Londonderry said a good thing in the House the other night. We are credibly informed that Mr. Britton the anti quarian, is re-publishing a new edition of "Brown's Vulgar Errors," with copious additions, extracted chiefly from the speeches of Lord Londonderry and Mr. Dawson. The Bishop of Chester, it is said, preached a sermon last Wednesday, at St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate, on the du ties of Resignation. Mr. Peel, Lord Eldon, the Duke of Wellington, and LeerWestmorland, were among the num ber of his audience, and appeared unusually affected. It is whispered in the fashionable circles that Colonel Berkeley has taken orders. We hear that the Worshipful Company of Poachers have transmitted a valuable piece of plate to Lord Elden, for his having so handsomely acknowledged himself one of their fraternity. It is said that the Right Hon. R. Peel, goes a pleasuring almost daily to Richmond, Turnham Green, or Brentford Butts. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.---Mr. Theodore nook, we learn, has been suffocated beneath an immense quantity of unsold copies of " John Bull," which fell upon his head last Wednesday, from the shelves of the " John Bull" office. We understand that Ferdinand of Spain, has written an autograph letter of condolence to Lord Eldon. Sir Gregor M'Gregor, Cacique of Poyais, has entrusted the Marquis of Londonderry, to draw up the Project of a New Administration for that gifted country. Mr. Murray, it is said, has offered Sir T. Lethbridge a thousand pounds to write a political novel. We understand that two cart-loads of sledge-hammers have been sent down to the Rev. Mr. Cunningham, of Harrow, for the purpose of knocking down the Catholic religion in that neighbourhood. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

On this occasion, the Foundation Stone of a New Building for the Establishment is to be laid by his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of the Freemasons of England. We understand his Royal Highness is to be attended by a very numerous body of the Nobility, and other Distinguished Persons ; and it is folly expected that this Anniversary Meeting will evince the sense the Public entertain of the utility of this excellent Institution. The ultra Tories in Leeds, like their friends in London, seem quite at their wits' end, and are by their folly subjecting themselves to the derision of every sober minded man in the town. Some days ago, a few of these sages signed a notice, calling a meeting of the subscribers to the coffee-room, to turn out the Morning Post, and to substitute the Morning Herald newspaper ; and yesterday morning a little coterie of them assembled upon this mo mentous occasion, when the requisitors stultified their own act by voting for the retention of the Morning Post. The subscribers, in general, take no share whatever in these follies, except to laugh at their authors.—Letds Mercury. STATE OF TRADE.—We are glad to be able to say that during the week, the liveliness of trade which we noticed in our last publication h as not on l y b een sus tained; butincreased, and that advances of the price of weaving have become more general. Messrs. T. and M. Harbottle have advanced the wages of all their cambric weavers, and at the price which is now given a good hand can earn upon their new looms from 12s. to 15s. per week. It was high time for an improvement to take place, for poverty was rapidly spreading to every rank in our com mercial society. We noticed the other day a large brick field, converted into potatoe-ground, and in one row of houses, the property of one individual, we observed eleven empty that have each been let hitherto, at upwards of SOL a year. By_the Glasgow papers of Thursday we learn that a decided improvement has also taken place there..—Man chester Guardian. MEETING OF FRIENDS OF CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. On Saturday, the Annual Meeting of the Pro testant Society, expressly established for the pro tection of Civil and Religious Liberty, was held at the City of London Tavern, Bishoysgate-street. The recent agitation of the question respecting the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, together with the change in the Ministry, tended to give an unusual interest to the great Annual Meeting; from three to four thousand persons were present, amongst whom were several Members of Parliament. Lord Viscount MILTON was in the Chair; The Noble CHAIRMAN havingbriefly stated the ob jects of the Meeting, Mr. JOHN WILKS, the senior Secretary, proceeded to read the Report, which was extremely volum nous. After recapitulating the fundamental princi ples which form the basis of the Society, it adverted to the progress made during the past year, with an expression of regret that the main object was as yet unaccomplished. All the leading arguments in fa vour of the Dissenters' claims for the repeal of those laws which have so long excluded them from civil rights, were warmly insisted on but the Committee, at the same time, suggested that, considering the extraordinary and unexpected change which had taken place in the Administration, it might not be prudent to press those claims on the consideration of Parliament, at least during the present Session, though they held those rights to be their unalienable privilege. The Report concluded with an earnest exhortation to the friends of civil and religions liberty to persevere in their laudable endeavotn s, which would ultimately be crowned with success. The Rev. Mr. HILLLtRD, (of Bedford), moved that the report be adopted, and contended that these obnoxious enactments were a disgrace to the Sta tute-book, and unworthy of a free and enlightened government. Several resoltnifuts, in unison with the sentiments embodied in the report ; were proposed and carried. Mr. EASTHOPZ, the Mez - iber for St. Alban's, in ., moving one of the resoluti ons , tOQk occasion to re mark, that he had been greatly astor;jahed at the de claration which the First Lord of the rfrgasury was reported to have made, when the question of the Test and Corporation Acts was before the House— it was, that he (Mr. Canning) considered that the disabilities, of which the Dissenters complained, were merely theoretical. This declaration was the more extraordinary, coming from one who was the professed advocate of Catholic Emancipation, and the arrayed champion of civil and religious toleration. Had he (Mr. Easthope) been in the Heise at the time, he would have felt it his duty not to let this declaration pass without reply. Unfortunately for the cause of the Dissenters, many of those who were to legislate, were entirely ignorant of the main ques tion. The Hon. Gentleman declared himself fa vourable to Catholic Emancipation ; and no less sincerely devoted to civil and religious toleration in its general acceptation. Lord MILTON, in acknowledging a vote of thanks passed to him, professed his unalterable attachment to the objects which the Society had in view; his attachment was founded on the basis of the Consti tution itself; and though the tolling of a bell was refused to Dissenters, as a tribute of respect to de parted friends, (to which allusion had been made by a former speaker), his Lordship would not be so uncharitable; for it the Test and Corporation Acts were dead and decently buried, he would not object to the bell being tolled for them.—(Cheers.)—His Lordship said, he should never abandon this great cause ; and he hoped, at no very distant period, to see these obnoxious enactments blotted from the pages of the Statute-book. The Meeting then broke up. SHOALS IN THE STRAITS OF GA-SPAR Extract of a letter from Captain de la Vega, of th e Spanish ship Velox P asagera , to C apta i n Drum mond, of the Hon. Company's ship Castle Hunt ley, just arrived from China, dated the 9th of January : " On the 24th of August, when in the Straits of Gaspar, at three-quarters past four in the afternoon, we touched the ground upon shoal in the lat. of 1. 10. S., and the long, by the meridian of Lon don, of 106. 33. 30. E. This latitude and longi tude is quite accurate, and may be relied upon, the first having been observed at 12 o'clock, and reckon ed by estimation to that hour; and the second cal culated by the chronometer, and compared with the reconing at Pulo-Gaspar. The depth of water of this bank or sunken rock is that of a ship of large burden. The shallowest part is from 18 feet, Burgos measure, to 28, and gradually increases from eight to 18 fathoms; the bottom is rocky. Our ship's draught was 20 feet. We remaine.l a ground a quarter of an hour. The weather was fine, and the sea very calm, with the wind at S.E., steer ing N.W. We got off by carrying a press of sail, and forcing over the ground. When at five miles distant from the bank, we dropped anchors : I sent out boats in order to take soundings from S.E., out could not discover it again, which proves that it is not`of any great extent. Upon arrival at Manilla, the ship was hove down, when it was found that the rudder had lost the lower pintle, the copper sheath ing of the keel was gone, and the false keel on the stern was broken." Extract of a letter from Captain Coriz, of the ship Asia, of Providence, to Capt. Drummond : "On the 20th of September, 1826, on our voyage to Canton, the Asia struck and grounded on a shoal, when she remained fast five hours, with three feet under the bows, and five fathoms under the stern, soft coral. The shoal extended about half a mile from west by north, half north to east by south, half south ; and is as near as possible in let. 8. 38., north long. 110. 50. east." Mr. PEEL.—Mr. Peel owes the popularity he has gained entirely to the principles he had in common with the men he has deserted. His Bill for Restoring Cash Payments was confessedly founded on the doctrines of Messrs. Horwer and Brougham, to which Mr. Peel avowed himself a recent convert. llis Jury Bill, a most meritori ous measure, had the approbation both of Whigs and Radicals, because it applied a remedy to the grievance of packing, which many Tories regarded as the palladium of Church and State. We need not ask what would ht ve been the fate of the same Bill if it had originated else where, for Mr. Peel's Bill was almost a literal transcript of one introduced the year before by Mr. Kennedy, and which, through the exertions of Lord Melville, was rejected by the House of Peers, as a dangerous innovation. Peel lent his support to all the liberal commercial measures pro w t i h th e the visionary W igl , a t h n e d o r burrowingitheorists," and arms posed by Messrs. Robinson and Huskisson. But i n d o ing this, as het e t I n t ts clacting the " politieel econ om i sts, " to overturn the systems of whom ?—of the Pitt s , t h e L i verpool*, the Cast lereaglis, the Bexley', and all the financiers held in veneration by the Ultras ? His amendments of the criminal code are a monu ment to his honour. But can it be denied that, in carry ing forward these, he was giving effect to the maxims of Bentham, and treading in the steps of Romilly and Nlzcintosh ? It is known that the Lord Chancellor spoke lightly of them as effusions of juvenile zeal ; and probably only tolerated them because they proceeded from a mind deeply saturated with prejudices akin to his owu.— Scotsman. We hear that a spring has been discovered at Stanley, a pleasant village one mile frorri Wakefield, of great importance to the sickly valetudinarian, which bids fair to rival Harrowgate in its medical virtues.—Doncas ter Gazette. The Newspapers in the interest of the com bined illiberal:, now happily out of office, are very much in the habit of boasting that the public voice is de cidedly in favour of their patrons, and of expressing an ardent wish for public meetings in the principal town? of the kingdom, in order that their assertions may he proved beyond dispute. Upon a point of this nature it is difficult to speak with certainty, but we will venture to say, that if the persons who entertain this opinion in Leeds will take the usual method of obtaining a public Meeting, by address ing a requisition to the Mayor of the borough for that pur pose, the result will prove to them that a large majority of the inhabitants are favourable to the late changes in the Administration, and that the ultra Tories are as insignificant io numbers here, as they will soon be proved to.be in Par. liament. - -Leeds Mercury.
