I'a 'MEETING of the VESTRY of the Parish of ST. THOMAS, specially summoned for tak ing into consideration the unconstitutional Proceedings of the Itonian Catholics in Ireland, and the propriety of addressing Parliament thereon. Mr. HENRY WOOD, Churchwarden, in the Chair. The following Petition to the House of Commons was unani mously edopted by the Meeting, and ordered to he submitted to the P aris hi oners for the Signature of all who approve th ereof:— To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. and ; i n e, h the und ers i gne d , t h e Minister, Churchwardens, Vestry, abitant s of the Parish of St. osThomas, in the City of Bristol, have observed with the utmost solicitude and alarm, the unconstitutional proceedings which have, of late, .been so openly and systimatically pursued in Ireland, for the purpose °I-subverting one of the main pillars of the Constitution—the Protestant Ascendancy —and re-establishing in its place the Bupremacy of the Church of Rome. 4 The h a p py delivery of these kingdoms from the galling and ,Z h asing yoke of Papal usurpation we have ever regarded as ui4le prime source of our liberties and national prosperity ; it mpossible, therefore, that we should look with indifference Pon the attempts which are making to rob us of this inesti su /noble blessi ng an d to .restore again the reign of ignorance and P er stition. as Friend s to religious toleration in its utmost latitude, so long the views of our Roman Catholic fellow.subjects appear to be confined within that limit they had our most cordial con !orrence, b ut when political power became their avowed ob- J_esir t, when, not content with every indulgence in the exercise of rerntreligious worship, th ey soug h t a d m i ss i on i n t o t h e hi g h est iees of the State, we f e l t i t our d uty, i n common w i t h t h e st of his ;Majesty's Protestant subjects, to raise our voice against their demands, convinced that the concession of politi cal rank and influence to the members of the church funda raettallY opposed to the Reformed Protestant Religion, and to the State, the government of a foreign power, would be dangerous d ea r State, and incompatible with the secure enjoyment of our est and most scared rights. Defeated in this attempt by the good sense and awakened fee lings of th e country, the tormenters of disaffection in the Sister Knffdom have had recourse to measures of a more daring and equivoc a l c h aracter. An organized confederacy, under - . or oe;?arrie of Th e Catholic Rent Association, has been formed, tg evi dent purp ose o f enforcing the i r deman d s, an d dit iv no to the Government of the country.

This Deposit, and the accumulations thereon, will form the present Capital of the Company, with a further claim upon the Subscribers to pay such sums as may be required to the extent of their respective Shares. Whilst a resident Directory gives an assurance to 3lanches ter, and its important neighbourhood, of the good faith and liberality with which the engagements of this Company will be entered into and observed, the formation of local Committees selected from a highly respectable Proprietary is calculated to extend the same advantages to the more remote districts.

The Philomathic Journal, and Literary Review, has taken high and independent ground, and appeals to the Publi c f or that encouragement which is the best support of sincere and earnest endeavour.

CANNIBIL.ISIA. — The New South Wales Pap . ers contain a most revolting view of human nature, in proceedings connected with the trial of Alexander Piersc, a native of Fer. managh, in Ireland, lately convicted at Hobart Town, in Van Dieman's Land, of murder and cannibalism. The confes sions of this man, who was the survivor of several runaway convicts who lived on each other, chew• the horrible degradation to which men can be reduced. When the number was reduced to two, they watched each other for days, and at last sleep gave Pierce the opportunity of killing his companion I. EXTRAORDINARY INQUEST. On Saturday evening an Inquest was held .at the sign of the Lord Nelson public-house, in the Eetit-road, before C. JEMMETT, Esq. on the body of Richard Wilson Dickson, M.D., who died on the 17th of September last, ever since which time, a lady, the cousin of the deceased, who is a most eccentric character, has kept the body of her relative in the house, not permitting a creature to enter the apartment where the corpse was placed, and peremptorily refusing to admit the body to be interred, declaring to those who made ap plication to her for that purpose, that the remains of Dr. Dick son should be unburied - until the day of resurrection rather than submit to have it deposited in any sanctuary but that which the King had promised to grant exclusively for' the re lics of the deceased. The parish officers of Camberwell, having been lately apprised of these facts, judged it expedient to in stitute an inquiry into the circumstances of the deceased's death, as many extraordinary reports had been circulated in the neigh bourhood respecting the manner in which the deceased came to his death. The Jury, after having been sworn, proceeded, accompanied by the Coroner, to view the body of the deceased, which was at his late residence, a neat house on Camberwell-terrace, near the Green Man turnpike in the Kent-road. On entering the house the effluvium arising from the corpse was intolerable.— The body was placed in a leaden coffin, in one of the rooms up stairs, the lid of which had not been fastened down during the space of nearly four months. In one of the hands was a paper, containing an account of the Doctor's Agricultural Works, losses, &c. which was read to the Jury. • .Philip Tuor, a coal and potatoe dealer, in the Kent-road, deposed that he had known the deceased for a considerable time. About two months before he- died, the deceased came to his house for the purpose of ordering home vegetables, and he then appeared to be in a very debilitated state. Two days subse quent to his death, namely, the 17th of September last year, witness saw the body of the deceased, and he has no doubt but that he died a natural death. Witness understood that a fe male cousin of the deceased resided in the house with hint for the-last seven or eight years. Witness added, that lie did not observe the slightest mark of violence upon the body. By a Juror—The witness does think that Miss Dickson is deranged. Many people, added the witness, suppose that she is as mad as a March hare, but I think she is perfectly sane. Thomas Wicks, an undertaker, residing in the Kent-road, deposed, that he was also acquainted with the deceased for some years previous to his death. Three or four months preceding the Doctor's death, he observed he was declining fast in health, and for the purpose of securing a job, he proceeded to the house of the deceased; had an interview with Miss Dickson, to whom he stated his opinion, at the same time soliciting the favour of being employed in the event of her cousin's death. When the doctor died, he accordingly proceeded to the house, when Miss Dickson gave him the job, and he supplied a leaden coffin, in which he placed the deceased. After this Miss Dickson told him that she intended that the ceremony of interment should take place in the month of December ; and, in the mean time, she desired him to make another coffin, not in the usual shape, but in imitation of a square chest, to be lined magnificently throughout with crimson velvet, and, instead of putting brass handles to it, she wished that stout bullocks . ' horns might be supplied. She also, on that occasion, informed hint, that his Majesty had promised her a piece of ground for building a temple over the remains of her deceased relative. The wit ness added that, most fortunately for him, he did not compry with the.latter order, for when he sent in his bili for the leaden coffin, he never got one farthing of it from the day lie supplied it until the present time. He saw the body of the deceased im mediately after he expired, and lie is convinced he died a na tural death. _ _ _ . _ _ The Jury observed that they were satisfied the deceased had died a natural death, and a verdict to that effect was accord ingly returned. The Coroner and Jury gave the necessary directions for the immediate interment of the deceased. IRELAND. COMMISSION INTELLIGENCE. SESSIONS COURT, GREEN-STREET, DUBLIN. THE KING, AT THE PROSECUTION OF THE MARQUIS OP iVESTMEATII r. ANNE CON ELL, &C. ror several days a trial of some public interest, but of the highest importance to the parties concerned, has - engaged the attention of a Special Commission in Dublin. The proceeding, in point of form, is an indictment against Mr. Momuire, a soli citor, a woman named Ann Connell, and others, charging them with conspiring falsely to accuse Lord Westmeath of adultery with Ann Connell, and thus to support Lady Westmeath's ap plication for a divorce against Lord - Westmeath. The deposi thins of the defendant, Ann Connell; were read, in which she swore to many repeated acts of adultery she had committed with Lord W., in hotels, woods, &c., her first acquaintance with him originating in the circumstance of her appearing before him, as a Magistrate, to swear an illegitimate child to another person. On the other hand, Lord W. positively swore that ha had never before seen the woman in his life ; and all the consequences of this general denial would follow as a matter of course. _ _ _ _ . _ - On - the last day, Judge Alooflr charged the Jury in this case. His Lordship entered -into a very minute detail of the evidence of Corcoram, as bearing on the case of Anne Connell, Monaghan, and APKenzie. From the evidence of Corcoran, it was manifest that Monaghan was at the beginning and the end of the transaction ; it was owing to his suggestion that Anne Connell was looked' for ; that after her falsehoods with respect to a settlement made by Lord Westmeath had been discovered, recourse was had to her misrepresentations concerning the two children : and when these two false accusations failed, then Monaghan said he could prove the adultery himself. His Lord ship then commented on the evidence of the other witnesses, and concluded by telling the Jury, that unless they found that two or more of the traversers had been conscious that what they were accusing his Lordship of was a fabrication, they must acquit them. His Lordship several times observed, that nothing could be more honourable than the conduct of the Noble Marquis and Marchioness, and that they were made dupes of throughout the whole proceeding. The Jury retired, and returned in about an hour and a quarter, finding Ann Connell, John Monaghan, and Patrick Farley, guilty • and bringing in a verdict of acquittal with re spect to Edward ' Bennett and William APKenzte. Alr. Justice M OORE.—Gentlemen, I never saw or heard of a more reasonable and discerning verdict. It is creditable to yourselves, and of advantage to the public. SIR FIARCOURT LEES.—.About 3 o'clock. Mr. Hickman Kearney entered the Court, and gave to the Clerk of the Crown the bills of indictment against Sir H. Lees ignored. Mr. Sealy 'rownehend, K.C., came into Court a few minutes after, and on hearing that the bills bad been thrown out, he instantly left the Court. ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—On Friday evening a robbery was committed on an individual called Free man, resident at hew-bridge, accompanied with more than or dinary brutality. About nine o'clock on Friday evening he was met at Old Brentford by a man genteelly Brewed, who inquired the nearest road to the Plough, at Little Ealing. He at first hesitated, but the rot - bee said, " I'll give you half-a-crown, my honest fellow, if you'll spew me the way," which lulled his sus picion, and he offered to accompany him. On arriving at the cross-roads, Freeman - said they must turn down Dunn's-lane, and in order to point . out the Plough he went a few yards down. The robber then said, " Thank you, my friend,' and Freeman turned round to proceed to his home. He had scarcely got two yards away when he received a blow on the head from behind, and was immediately trampled on by two men. In the scuffle he received three stabs in the body, and three" cuts across his throat, with several severe blows. He at lengtri contrived to crawl to the door of the Plough Inn, where he was found in an almost exhausted state. He was robbed of three 101. notes, his wat , c . h, a quantity of silver, and some pa pers of no value to the totem, but of consequence to him. FOR, THE SUN. Enrroa—l observe among: the extracts from the London. Journals in: your Paper of the 4th instant, that the Morning licrald'ex presses Its surprise, that the same unlimited-.tolera tion," and even " actual community of religion" is not established in Britain.and Ireland,: as it has, lately been ,by. the Royal .Proclarnation in Hanover ; and. that " any real danger should be apprehended from Popery in one country, which is • not equally' to be feitred in another." .Surely the writer'd that atticle,has not considered, that the applicability of an abstract question to prac tice must be deterinined by.a. due regard to the' charcter of a people, avid the immediate circum stances under which they are placed : ;- how in 'deed is a question to be considered, aS'in' itself an abstract one, unless its agreement with the two last mentioned objects is necessary to con nect it with practicability ? If we do not consi der this connection as a necessary one, shall we not be liable to run into all the excesses of Utopean theory, and all the wildness of specu lation, which made the French philosophers treat the lessons of experience, and the regard due to habit and prescription, with so much contempt ? a presumption for which they so clearly atoned. A due regard to circumstances of the times, and all that constitute (Item, is surely necessary to determine that political expediency, • without which no measure can be adopted with safety or prudenre, or even any probability of success. I state this as a general truth, without any wish to determine the mode of its application to the Catholic Question in these kingdoms, the merits of which are perhaps so much of a speculative nature, as to render it very difficult . for a think ing man to make up his mind thoroughly upon them. Indeed the Morning Herald, by a sort of vagueness, and vacillation of reason ing, upon what it designates as a matter of " mere lucre" in the " 'Tithe Rent," mixed too with a positiveness of deci sion, and an affected pleasantry upon the " vain and preposterous hopes of the Roman Catholics," and upon " the effect that would re sult from " taking the mass of them out of the hands of their leaders," seems to acknowledge its inability to settle this difficult question, otherwise than by a reference to the " wisdom of giving them at once all they are entitled to ask, or that we can in prudence yield to them." Thii I think resembles the conclusion of a work on the French Revolution (I think by the 'Marquis de Boille) in which the policy is urged of " Go vernment's making reasonable concessions, and at a proper time," both which it leaves its readers to determine, hoping that the weakness and uncer tainty of human reasoning may, especially in our political concerns, be supplied by the all-know ing and gracious interposition of Providence, I remain, Sir, yours, &c. January 6, 1825. CMS. SIR HARCOURT LEES, 13 kitT. (Fruit the Bristol Journal.) A man who has long since perceived that spark which was endeavoured to be kept concealed by the thickest obscurity ; one who has penetrated through all the mysteries of secret plots ; one who, by his exertions, has hitherto prevented the smothered embers of the Late rebellions .froM being blown into a fresh blaze by the pestiferous blasts, .of Jesuits, or by the pestilential blasts of insurrectionary dema gogues; one who successfully opposed to such plagues an Antidote, originating entirely in himself, in which. he has had • the hardihood to sign with his name the thoughts of his heart— in which he has exposed the machinations of rnalignants, the. treachery of pretended friends, and the effects to he dreaded from ignorance or supineness. A man who has borne the brunt of calumny, who has. withstood the violence of abuse and re proach ; a man whom the frown of power has not awed, nor the vengeance of a hostile host has intimidated; a man who has used ridicule, irony, invective, sarcasm, and di rect accusation, according as circumstances. required, as his re ,, ard for the true religion of God incited him, as his love for his country stimulated him, and as his unshaken loyalty to his King behoved him ; a man who has proved him himself a real patriot; who has given the very best advice to the Irish Romanists ; a man who has, unarmed and unpre pared, encountered the assassin, disarmed Hint—nay, more converted him ; a man whom the Protestants of Ireland look up to as their champion, and who has made him their rallying point ; a man whose clarion can rouse them to action, or allay their alarms; a man in whom they know they can confide, who regards their preser vation who loves peace, whose courage danger cannot shake, and whose conduct has always been constitutional in- thq strictest sense. The Reverend Sir Harcourt Lees is • th a t man ; let this character of him he examined ; if. it. be correct, let his voice be heard by the people of England with attention ; let his admonitions have weight ; let not his veracity be suspected ; let his experience guide those who can influence the executive ; and let his suggestions, drawn from actual in • formation, determine the proceedings of those who are boand to uphold the safety of the empire at the risk of impeachment. No language can be too strong when the danger is so pressing ; no resolution can be too determined when the stake is so Nital 'no caution can be too great, when the lives of so many depend upon a single signal —lf the warning voice of Sir Harcourt Lees be not heard in England, Ireland will receive a shock which may shake the empire, and from which Providence alone - can protect us. The plot has been long matured, the crisis ap proaches, the very period for the experiment has arrived." ATTEMPT TO MURDER AN OFFICER.--Some time since, Alfred Pople, of Queen-spare office, and also turnkey of Tothill-fields prison, with Gillmore and Handley, alSo officers, received anonymous intimation that their lives were in danger, and warning them to be on their guard. The i intimation was treated with ncliffirrence by the officers ; but we regret to say, the fact of such a determined plot, at least as far as it regards one of them, has proved too true. It was well known by the leaders of the desperate gangs who cruise in Westminster, that Mr. Pople, sen. resided near the prison in Westminster, and it was supposed that Alfred Pople also resided with him. About eight o'clock on Wednesday evening no less than tour bullets were fired at one moment into the parlour, through the shutters and door, - the pannel of the latter of which is com pletely shattered. Fortunately the determined villains missed their object, as Alfred was from home, and his mother had left the room a few minutes previously. The cause of this mur derous attack is more than guessed at, and we entertain strong hopes that the wretches will not escape justice.
