COURT OF CHANCERY. IN THE MATTER OF LORD PORTSMOUTH, A LUNATIC. Mr. HEALD said this was the petition of one of the trustees of the Earl under the deed of 1799, made previous to his Lordship's marriage with the Hon. Grace Norton, since deceased. Tie petition stated that the question had been before the Court, whether it would be proper to renew the lease of a parsonage, stated in the pleadings; that it had been referred to the Master to inquire whether it would be proper that the lease should he renewed, and out of what fund the fine and fees should he paid; that the Master had made his report, certi Eying that it would be most desirable for the Earl's estate to have the lease renewed, and that if it was not renewed before the present life dropped, there would be no means of compelling the renewal. The Master also found that the expences of renewal should be paid out of a fund in the hands of the trustees. The prayer of the petition therefore was, that the Court would be pleased to confirm the Master's Report. Mr. PEPYS appeared for the Committee of the Earl who considered it a most desirable thing that the Master's Report should lie confirmed, otherwise the tithes of this property might be irretrievably lost. Mr. Home appeared for Lady Portsmouth, and Messrs. Palmer and France, who were creditors to a great extent for opposing the proceedings under the commission. With respect to the settlement of 1799, Mr. Heald considered no argument could be built upon it, because it was a deed made upon Lord Portsmouth's first marriage, and was at an end long ago. There could be no doubt that the renewal of this lease would be be neficial to the Earl's estate; an; the only question was, whether it ought to be renewed at the ex pence of his estate or not ? There were a great many heavy expences on the estate, which swal lowed up every penny that arose from his estates ; and as this fine, amounting to no less than 42,000/., would greatly defeat the payment of prior creditors, if it were ordered to be paid out of the Earl's gene ral fund s , he thought that the parties applying to have the lease renewed ought to find some other means of renewing it, as far as the expellee went, than those funds. Mr. BieKeßsTeern appeared for Lord Grantley, who it was prayed by this petition, might be orcered to pay the amount of the renewal out or the money in his hands. There were a great many prior de mands upon the estate, and he felt bound to leave it to the Court to say, whether the satisfying of those demands ought to be delayed, that those who might succeed Lord Portsmouth might have the benefit of this renewal. The Learned Counsel felt bound to admit, that by a covenant in the deed, Lord Ports mouth was bound to renew this lease, but he con ceived that he was by no means at liberty to take away from the creditors so large a sum at this time as the renewal of it would require. Mr. SKIRROW appeared for - the same party. Mr. HEALD replied.—lt had been stated in the course of the observations this morning that a sum had been set Apart for this renewal by the Master when he reported upon the stateeif the debts; that was untrue in point of fact ; the Master only seemed to think that it was necessary the fine should be paid, and that the amount should come out of the general income of the Earl. The deed of 1799 was not at an end ; it was under this deed that Lady Ports mouth had all along been using the amount she had been in receipt of. He was surprised to hear the flimsy , arguments that had been raised against this application, all parties at the same time having felt bound to admit that the renewal was desirable and requisite. He supposed that Lord Grantley had a great desire to -benefit the creditors, if he had, he had no doubt that he would come for ward immediately and pay the 12,000/. he had for a long time owed to the Earl's estate, with interest; and he (Mr. H.) was quite sure that that would satisfy the creditors much better than all the opposi tion he had made, or could make, to this application. Mr. BICKERSTETH was surprised to hear Mr. • -Heald advert to this debt. Lord Grantley was per . fectly prepared to pay it, but the fact was, there was a dispute as to whom it should be paid, and this occasioned his Lordship to remain so long the debtor. His LORDSHIP said, it was quite clear that this fund in point of law was liable to the charge of the renewal, and the only question was,. whether the fine should be paid out of the present fund of the Earl, by which it was possible the claims of creditors on the estate might be postponed or not, as it was a valuable property, and as it might be lost entirely to the estate, if not renewed immediately, and as if it were renewed, it might become available to the creditors, he thought he would be acting improperly • if he were to disturb the Master's report, which stated that the fine should be paid out of the present accu mulated funds. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Nothing of interest occurred in this Court up to the time of our going to Press. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. JONES, TROWER, AND LAWSON, V. THE LONDON DOCK COMPANY. This was an issue from --- the Court of Chancery, to try whether the plaintiffs had a right to recover fifty puncheons of brandy, the property of the plain tiffs, which was deposited With the defendants in November, 1823, in the London Docks, and which the latter were alleged irregularly to have transferred in February 1624, to a third party. The Court was occupied all the morning in the trial of this cause, which is likely to continue to do so till a late hour. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. James Fraser, a hair-dresser, came upon his pe tition to be discharged, and was opposed by his landlord, who stated that the insolvent owed him 9/. for rent when he levied an execution, which was in April last, and that the insolvent still continued to hold the premises up to the present day, by which a heavy arrear was unaccounted for. The landlord said he had no objection to forgive the in solvent the whole debt, but he hoped the Court would not permit him to be discharged until he sur rendered the premises. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said the landlord acted very handsomely by the insolvent, in offering to give up his whole claim, as he might arrest the insol vent, even after his discharge, for the debt incurred since April. The COURT considered, under all the circum stances, that the insolvent' had n o r i g h t t o hi s dis charge, whilst he continued to hold the premises in dispite against his landlord ;` and therefore directed the case to stand over, with the understanding, that the insolvent should surrender his holdings, and come up again on Tuesday next for hi s discharge. THE CROPS. —The most flattering accounts prevail respecting the present green and grain crops • but the condition of Cumbe rland and th e ad jac , e e n x t ee b p o t rd n e: i r ie N a v t : co can rre ctly state. The grain niul green now remains tocrops are beyond our expectation, and nothing complete the suc7ess of the cultivator but a dry h arvest. Although the wheat crop is deficient in many parts of our county and border, the great quantity sown last year will make up for the failure. Potatoes look well, and most of the turnip crops also : the greatest blame is attributed to the too early sowing. Turnips in this district look strong and healthy, and never more in one year sown. Peas and beans look well, are strong in the sward, and a full crop. The old land hay grass never bore a heavier crop, and the quality is fine. Seedy or rye and clover grass are now entirely cut, and not more than three-fourths of a crop ; it is either in the field rick, or safe in the barn yard. Fruits in general are good, and many apple trees cannot support their burden, while others have not a shape on them. The carrots and onions are a full crop. The ope rations on the wheat fellows are now brisk, and never did a more favourable season present itself. Wheat fully sup ports its former price, but barley, rye, and oats, have &lieu, SMITHFIELD MARKET. This day's supply of Beasts, Fat Calves, and Porkers, was rather limited, but fully equal to the demand, that of Sheep and Lambs,• for the time of year, great ; each kind of meat met with a slow sale, Beef, Mutton, and Veal, at about 2d. per stone beyond, Lamb 4d. per stone be neath Friday's quotations iin prices of Pork no alteration.

This day, at twelve o'clock, a public meeting was held, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in behalf of the above individual, Lord F. L. GOWER, in the Chair. A friend of Mr. Haydon's read a statement of his affairs, and afterwards put a few resolutions, which passed unani mously, calling on the public to make a subscription in behalf of Mr. Haydon, and stating that the banking house of Coutts and CO. had kindly offered to receive the subscriptions. The meeting was hut thinly attended. A letter from the Duke of Wellington, enclosing a cheque for 50/., however, shed a little brightness on the subject. Lord F. L. Gower also kindly handed his cheque for 201. A few smaller subscriptions were then handed ia, and the meeting, after voting thanks to the Noble Chairman, separated. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. Last week the arrivals of English Grain were very short, and of Foreign Oats moderate. This morning's market has a scanty fresh supply of all sorts of Grain. The late rains are considered as very favourable to the crops, which are now ripening fast round the Metropolis. There is little fine Wheat for sale to-day, and in some few instances the prices of last Monday have been rather exceeded for such, but all other descriptions are dull at the prices last quoted. Barley maintains the terms of this day se'n night. Beans and Pease find few buyers, and the prices of each are unaltered. The demand continues good for shipping Oats to various parts of the country, and such parcels as are sweet obtain rather more money than on this day se'nnight. The Flour trade remains dull, at no alteration in value. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) -White (ol -Red (18'21 Fine... Superf --White (1 Fine.. Superl Foreign —S. —S. Id) —s. —s. 6) sos.

On Thursday the Primrose, 18, Captain Vernon, ar rived from Vera Cruz, Tampico, Havannab, and New York ; left Vera Cruz May 8, Tampico May 12, Haven nah May 27, and New York June 28 ; shipped at Vera Cruz and Tampico a million and a quarter of dollars, and 100 serous of cochineal ; landed 40,000 dollars at Ha.. vannah, and 10,000 at New York, and brought the re mainder, with the cochineal, to England. Commodore Laborde sailed from Havannah on the 27th of May, with three frigates, on hearing that a squadron of ships had appeared off Cuba. The Mexican squadron continued at Key-West, but Commodore Porter had himself left that place in the Greyhound schooner for Mexico, it was conjectured, to bring out other Mexican vessels to act in concert with the Colombian squadron. The United States' ships Cyane and John Adams, were on that station. The Primrose lay nine days at New York, during which Mr. Ward and Captain Vernon visited the public establishments at Washington, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. The Americans were particularly polite and attentive to them. There were no ships of war fitting out at their ports. Every thing appeared remarkably pacific. Mr. Ward left the city of Mexico on the 23d of April.— The Primrose, after leaving New York, ran 2500 miles in fourteen days : she then met with calms and light winds, or she would have reached Spithead in about seventeen days from that place. The Primrose was built at this dock-yard by the students in naval architecture, and they are entitled to the credit of having built a handsome and a fast-sailing ship, on all points, and a good man-of-war. She is come into harbour to he paid off. The lady of Mr. Ward was happily delivered of a son on hoard the Primrose, about ten days previous to the arrival of the ship ; and has been safely landed, with her infant, and her two daughters, born in Mexico, at her father's (Sir John Swinburne's), at Cowes. _ On Thursday, the Boadicea frigate, Capt. John Wilson, arrived from Madras, Trincoinalee, the Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, and Ascension. When she sailed, the squadron in India were employed as follows—Java (Rear-Admiral Gage), Cyrene, and Champion, at Trincomalee; Tamar, Athol, and Pandora, in the Red Sea; Rainbow and Fly, at New South Wales ; Hind, at Bombay. The Cape squadron were thus disposed of—Owen Glendower (Com modore Christian), and Sparrowhawk, in Simon's Bay ; Semarang, at the Mauritius; Helicon, on her passage to Mombas, Zanzibar, and the Mauritius. The garrison at Ascension were healthy. Colonel Nicholls (the Governor) was busy in making roads, turtle ponds, and bringing the ground into cultivation, in spots that would admit of it. The island bad produced, this season, green peas, sweet potatoes, and carrots ; but water had become rather scarce, from ample supplies being given to ships that have touched there. The Boadicea, after leaving St. Helena, met with light variable winds, and had the North East trade winds very far to the Northward, which accounts for her long voyage. She spoke the Romney, 50, Cap tain N. Lockyer, in latitude 44. 12. North, longitude 22. 10. W. bound to Quebec, with troops (who supplied the Boadicea with a week's provisions); and also, on the 12th instant, the Mount Stuart, Elphinstone, from Bom bay, in lat. 47. 50. N. long. 20. 6. W. and the Boadicea supplied her with provisions, being bound, with soldiers, to London. The following officers came passengers in the Boadicea; Captain Williams, R.M. invalided from the Java; Lieut. Walcot, R.N. from the Champion ; Lieut. Purvis, from the Helicon ; Captain Cumberland, late of the 55th regiment; Ensign Aragra, late of the 41st refit. Mr. Godden, late carpenter of the Champion, died on the passage. The Boadicea has been nearly three years ac tively employed in India, during which time she lost more than one-third of her officers and men. There is only one gun-room officer come home that went out' in her. It is said that the Briton frigate, Capt. Augustus W. J. Clifford, C.B. is on her return from St. Petorsburgh, to be fitted to take out Lord Wm. Bentinck, appointed Gover nor-General India. On Monday the Starling, Lieut. Pearl, and this day the Sylvia, Lieut. J. Dickson, sailed on cruizes. Remain, Boadicea and Constantine (Russian). In the harbour, Victory, Revenge, Melville, Wellesley, Tweed, Primrose, Mosquito, and Cracker. PLYMOUTH, JITLY 19.—Arrived the Bramble, Lieut. Favell, with dispatches from Lisbon, in twenty-one days; the surveying vessels Shamrock, Captain Martin, White, from, the Bristol Channel, and the Leven, 28, Capt. Fitz william Owen, from the River. Sailed, on Monday, the Dartmouth, 42, Captain T. Fellowes, C. 8., with despatches for the Mediteiranean. Captain J. B. Maxwell, from ill health, did not go out iu the Dartmouth, to the command of the Chanticleer ; the Hon. Lieut. W. Keith, of the Dartmouth, it is understood, is to be promoted into that ship.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Miss Paton made her first appearance here for the season, on Saturday night, in the character of Man dane, in Arne's well-known Opera of Artaxerxes, and was received with enthusiastic applause. Her " Soldier Tired" is one of the most surprising things we ever heard. Miss Stephens and Miss Wilson were both brilliant in this part; but. Miss Paton far exceeds them, whether we regard her science or the flexibility and compass of her voice.. She is, undoubtedly, the first Mandane of her day, and recalls strongly in this character the recollection of Mrs. Billington. Miss Goward appeared as Artaxerxes, for the first time. The part deserves a mention, if only for the pensive and simple little air of " In Infancy," to which she did every justice.-- The house was full, notwithstanding that Mr. Pear man performed Arbaces. SURREY. We are happy to find that, under the manage ment of Mr. Elliston, this little theatre is filled every night.• Perhaps there is no man who so well under stands how to cater to the public taste as this gen tleman : he hits it between wind and water, and adds to the attraction of such promising performers as William West and Miss Montgomery, his own versatility of talent. His Sheva, in the Benevolent Jew, of Saturday night, was characterised by a strict and impressive adherence to nature, an opinion which (with certain limitations) we feel inclined to extend to Mr. West's minor part of Jubal. After the play, Luke the Labourer, transplanted from the Adelphi, was performed, for the first time at this theatre, when Mr. Norman went through the part of Philip, in a way far superior to Mr. T. P. Cooke, the original Philip ; the character of Luke was ably played by Mr. H. Kemble. The house was well attended. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LUDLOW RACES.-MURSDAY, JuLY 19.

This forenoon the Queen of WURTEMBERG and her- Royal Highness the Princess AuousiA heard Divine Service at Fiogmore Lodge; the Rev. ISAAC Gos Err officiated. On Friday afternoon at four o'clock, the KING, accompanied by the Lord Steward, arrived at the Castle in his poney phaeton. Sir W➢t. KEYPEL, Sir A. BARNARD, and others of the distinguished attendants, fol lowed in the double-bodied phaeton. His MAJESTY en tered the Quadrangle, and drove to the grand entrance of his apartments, where be alighted, and was waited on by Mr. WYATTVILLE and Mr. JEN - tarts ; he ascended the grand staircase, and inspected the gilding of the corridor, and also that which has been commenced by Mr. Ca.acs in his MAJESTY'S suite of apartments. The KING has finally decided on the different. colours for the painting of the cielings, &c, Some extra artists are employed, and the finishing part is now carry ing on with the utmost degree of activity. The apart ments on the south side are all completely finished, and are DOW furnishing by Messrs. MORELL and HUGHES; it is expected that his MAJESTY'S apartments will be ready for his reception by the latter end of October next. Yesterday the Bishop of CHICHESTER ar rived on a visit to his MAJESTY, with whom he had the honour of dining at Virginia Water, and passing the even ing at the Royal Lodge. The Lords of the King's most' Hon. Privy Council had &meeting at the Council-office on Saturday morning, to hear an appeal from the decision of the Court of Bengal, in the East Indies; The Lords present were the Master of the Rolls, the lion. HUGH ELIOT, &C. Their Lordships met shortly before eleven o'clock, when Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE was heard by their Lordships for upwards of two hours and a half in opposition to the prayer of an appeal in the case of " Biswas v. Biswas," (involving property to the amount of near half a million), in answer to the arguments of the appellants, 'chose Counsel has been heard by their Lordships at a previous meeting. The ap pellants in this case are the sons of the deceased, who claim the property ou the ground of having been admitted by their father into partnership with him. The case has been decided against them three times in the East India Courts, and in favour of their opponents, who are the brothers of. the deceased, and who, iu support of their claim, have produced a will, bequeathing the bulk of the immense wealth to them, and also to a grandson of the deceased. After the case had been closed on behalf of the respondents, counsel were ordered to withdraw, while their Lordships came to a decision whether or not to hear the reply of the appellants to the arguments advanced by Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE. The counsel for the appellants were ultimately permitted to address their Lordships. Mr. ADAM was then heard at considerable length, on behalf of the appellant:, after which the meeting broke up.

A general Meeting of the British Catholic Asso ciation was held on Saturday, at their Rooms in Thorney-street, Bloomsbury-square. On the mo tion of Mr. BUTLER, Lord STOURTON took the Chair. TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS The Meeting was convened for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety, on the part of the British Catholics, of following the example set by their fellow-subjects of the same religious persuasion in Ireland, to petition in favour of the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. Mr. BLOUNT acted as Secretary, and read a letter from Lord Clifford on the subject to be brought under consideration, which stated, '• that however advisable on the part of the Catholic to petition for the repeal of these Acts, he would not recommend pressing the subject at present on his Majesty's Mi nisters." A letter from Mr. Canning, of Foxcote, contained his opinion of petitioning for the repeal of these Acts, on the broad basis of religious liberty, and he hoped the time was approaching when they would be joined in the prosecution of full religious liberty by the Dissenters. The letter recommended for that purpose, that communications should be made by the Catholics with the most influential among the Dissenters, and arranging it so that the whole force of Catholics and Dissenters might be brought to bear against the subject of general reli gious disability, by the commencement of the ,text Session of Parliament. A latter was also read from the Rev. Archdeacon King, son of the late Bishop of Rochester, in reply to a vote of condolence on the part of the British Catholics in the regret so generally felt on account of the death of the late Bishop. Mr. BLOUNT then adverted to the observations made at a Meeting lately held at the City of London Tavern, to form an Auxiliary Society, in connection with the New Reformation Society, and commented in strong terms on the language then used by Capt. Gordon and the Rev. Mr. Ivimey. • Mr. RossoN moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Members of the British Bar who lately petitioned for their relief; and to Sir James Scarlett, the At torney-General, for presenting that Petition, and for his general advocacy of the Catholic Claims. The Rev: Dr. CoLuNs.—As I am not a Member of the Bar, I beg leave to second the motion—which was carried unanimously. Mr. RossoN brought forward a motion on the subject of the Test and Corporation Acts. He de clared his determination under all circumstances, to press for the repeal of those Tests. This he did pursuant to the general tone of the Resolutions of Meetings of the British Catholics for years past ; and to demonstrate this he read extracts from several Reports presented to Catholic Meetings in the Metropolis; and of Resolutions passed at those Meetings. These extracts formed such a body of evidence of the general opinion of the Catholics to petition in favour of the repeal of these Acts, that he believed no person of that persuasion would he sitate to subscribe a petition in favour of their repeal. He moved " That the Committee be in structed to draw up a Petition in favour of the repeal of these Acts, to be presented to both Houses in the next Parliamentary Session." Colonel STnNOR seconded the motion. Mr. QUIN thought they should add " and to pe tition against all other grievances of which the Dissenter complained." The Catholics wonld be benefitted by the repeal of these Acts, as well as the Dissenters. A GENTLEMAN said, these Acts were all the Dis senters themselves complained of. Mr. QUIN said there were other grievances with respect to marriage and baptism, which were equally severe on the Dissenting bodies. A GENTLEMAN, who stated himself to be a Dis senter, numerated particular grievances under which the Unitarians, Independents, and Baptists laboured, exclusively of those brought on them by the Test and Corporation Acts. The suggestion of Mr. Quin was at once adopted. Mr. BUTLER hoped it would be carried unani mously. The Rev. Dr. COLLINS observed, as he was the only Catholic Clergyman present, he would not have it go abroad, that while the Laity were unanimous in support of the Resolution, any of the Clergy would oppose it. He gave it his cordial and entire . support. Mr. ENEAS MACDONNEL expressed his entire con currence with the Resolution to petition on behalf of the Dissenters, which was merely proving the sincerity of the repeated professions of the Catholic Body, and reducing to a measure of practical opera tion, the declaration contained in the several docu ments that had emanated from that body. It afforded him much satisfaction to observe that the Catholics of Ireland had manifested a becoming spirit on this occasion. They knew well that some of their most violent opponents and most offensive calumniators were to be found in almost every class of Dissenters ; yet, when those persons expressed a determination to appeal to the Legislature for relief, the Catholics of Ireland, merging from all minor considera tions in the great principle of equal law and equal justice, and overlooking the hostilities displayed against themselves, and notwithstand ing the distinct intimation of an exalted and influential Parliamentary supporter—they, in the true spirit of disinterestedness and magnanimity; put forth all their strength and influence towards the advancement of the claims of those Dissenters. What return they are likely to meet (said Mr. M.) I will not venture to anticipate ; whether the hand of fellowship which we have so often held out will be accepted, I cannot tell ; we cannot promise for others, but we, at least, will enjoy, the consolation of reflecting, that the calumniated Catholics, who have been so often taunted with the maintenance and manifes tation of selfish and anti-social principles, have given a fresh proof of the injustice of the charge.— The Catholics are ready and willing and anxious to co-operate with Dissenters, for the advancement of a common object; but should Anti-Catholic bigotry, and vicious prejudices, and uncharitable hostilities so far prevail with our Dissenting fellow subjects as to prevent their acceptance of our tender of co-operation, I wish them to feel that we shall not be, therefore, disheartened; but proceed, as hi therto confident that there is enough of justice in our cause, and of strength in its supporters, to insure ultimate and early success.—(Loud cheers.) lam not unmindful of the fact, that we have many most sincere friends among the Dissenters. We all know that the distinguished individuals who are gener a lly supposed to speak their opinions in the two Houses of Parliament, Lord Holland and Mr. Wm. Smith,' are amongst our most earnest and zealous friends, and we could name many others; but my wish is that our coalition, if it should be effected, should be founded on a sense of mutual respect, without which it could not prove advantageous to either. Having made these observations as to the Resolution before es, I would now advert to some other subjects that have been introduced to our notice. It seems to be considered adviseable not to adopt any mea sures at present towards bringing the claims of the British Catholics before Parliament. Whatever may be my individual sentiments on that subject, I certainly should feel myself quite unjustifiable, were I to press the adoption of a course contrary to that which ob tains the approbation of your body. It is for the British Catholics to choose their own course, and not for me to resist their opinions. But I may be allowed to express my satisfaction on finding that the Catholics of Ireland have resolved to urge their claims with earnestness in the next Session of Par liament. Our worthy Secretary has referred to some proceedings at one of the flew Reformation meetings on the 29th of last month, and given us the names of some of the principal performers. AS to Mr, Vernon, the only observation I would make . - '• " • •' would be, to refer that gentleman, for advice and guidance, to ela •-!s in the House of Commons on the 26th June, 1826, where be will find the c hi e vous and discreditable policy which he sanc tioned by his presence on the 29th June, 1827, justly characterised ; and the people of Ireland, who had been so grossly calumniated at his meeting, most ably vindicated, by an authority which he would not be unwilling to disrespect : meaning, thereby, one Mr. Vernon, son of the Archbishop of York.— (Hear, hear.) —The next person named is a Captain Gordon, who, I believe, is, after all, no Captain at all. I know something of that gentleman. For years I abstained from the public exposure of his various misrepresentations, though I have often, in private, remonstrated against them. But I owe him no favours that should oblige me to be silent any longer respecting him, and therefore I do here publicly impute to him the repeated misrepresenta tions of the creed and conduct of Irish Catholics; and against that odious and fraudulent Society, the Lon don Hibernian Society, I make the same imputations. It seems that Captain Gordon has found that there is a great increase of crime in Ireland, and all owing to the influence of Popery ; and I perceive that the Courier is actively engaged in endeavours to aid that doctrine. Now I think it may be proved that Popery is not necessary to produce an increase of crime in a country. Let us see how the facts stand as to England and Wales. When Mr. Peel intro duced his plan for the reform of the Criminal Law, last year, he allitded to this subject, and it is from his speech and other Parliamentary Papers that I shall take my proofs for the present. It appears that in 1812" the number of committals amounted to no less than 6,576; an immense number, when we consider what a large proportion of offenders are ad mitted to bail. However, as Captain Gordon and his associates had not then commenced their devout operations for the reformation of the world, we must make all due allowances for the imperfections of your uninstructed countrymen. The work of evan gelization. then commenced with extraordinary ar dour, and continued with increasing seal, and, no doubt, usefulness, from year to year, up to the last year, and we shall see its beneficial fruits in 1825. We have seen that in 1812 the committals in Eng land and Wales amounted to 6,676 persons, whereas in 1825, in consequence of the evangelical labours of Captain Gordon, Lord Bexley, and others, they amounted only to 14,437 !—(Loud cheers and laughter.)—Poor Popery had nothing to say to that enormous change. Oh, no, the Evangelizers had the ground all to themselves—they were the tillers and the reapers, and behold their fruit—the number of committals more than doubled ! ! What says the Courier to that ?—(Hear, hear, hear.)—But, perhaps, it would be pre tended tlaat this was a solitary instance of one year. We shall see how that is—by taking a period comprising several years. In the seven years pre ceding 1815, the committals amounted to 47,522. Well, the Evangelizers went then to work with all manner of schemes for reformation, and what was the result ? Why this : that in the seven years pre ceding 1825, the committals amounted to 93,282 (Hear, hear !) ! ! What says the Courier to that ? I would thank the Journalist, with the aid of Gor don's intellea and accomplishments, to inform me what had Popery to do with that increase, and to say whether any or all of the Catholic countries of Europe could furnisn such a specimen of the increase or the extent of crime, apart from political subjects Again, it may be said that this is not a fair criterion, inasmuch as the Magistrates are too prone to unjust committals. Well, let us see how the facts stand as to convictions, and confine ourselves to the capital convictions for the same periods. The capital convictions for the seven years preceding 1815 amounted to 4,126 ! ! Yes, in seven sho r t years, 4,126 o f our fellow-subjects, in England and Wales were consigned to ignomi n i ous d ea th for criminal offences, without any civil commotion having led to the condemnation of a single individual of that appalling number. Then the Evangelizers took the morals and religion of the country into their holy keeping, aad behold the result. In the seven years preceding 1825, the capital convictions in England and Wales amounted to eight thousand, two hundred and forty-four !! ! My Lord, my Lord, this is indeed an awful statement; no triumph in contrast, no success in proof, no defeat of our op ponents in argument can take precedence over the frightful reflections that such a statement suggests-- 8244 capitally convicted in England and Wales within seven years ! Why, my Lord, nations have struggled for freedom, and despots for dominion, without incurring such a sacrifice of human life.— (Hear, hear.)—As to the education of our people, it appears by all the attestations of public officers, that they are better educated than the peasantry of England ; and really it is too much for Capt. Gor don to set himself up as a teacher, for I recollect once he favoured me with a thesis upon Transubstan tiation, and I offered to yield the whole question to him if he could spell the word !—(Laughter.)—Yes, and I would now feel no difficulty in repeating the offer.—(Continued laughter.)—So muchfor Capt.G. There is but one other subject to which I would al lude—namely, the necessity of increasing your exer tions towards extending accurate information among your fellow subjects, who, I must say, stand much in need of it. Having lately visited Yorkshike, had many opportunities of knowing the truth of this position, and the good results of any efforts to extend accurate knowledge of your civil and religious prin ciples. lam bound to say, that, personally, I ex perienced nothing but kindness and courtesy, and therefore do not mean to offend, when I declare the necessity of your making such exertions. I will furnish one instance of the ignorance of the pe a .. santry :—As I travelled up Sutton Brow, towards the top of Hambleton Hill, I met a peasant, nam e d Lumley, who went with us to point out the several - objects from that delightful spot, called " The White Mare." He talked of Rievanly Abbey, one of those monuments of Popish barbarism, of which there is just enough still left to shew the taste of its founders, and enough destroyed to prove the taste of their perse cutors.—(Cheers.)—He stated that the Abbey (the ruins of which were about four miles distant from us) had been inhabited by " Papishes." I (raked what they were ? He replied, that they were a sari Protestants, I asked him t i asked sk t e h d er of folk that he had not liking for—that they wante d d thought so, but he could gis'e no ans wer w h atever to tehnaaattti Ampleforth Coll ege , a b out fi ve m il es dis tant--that over question. e were any Papishes then in the country, he sa id t h ere are they came sometimes to the Hill, sixty or eighty at a time, and took out his two gavelocks (iron crow bare), and brought them to the top of the hill, and then gathered round the gavelocks ; that the eldest said something catechism-like in their own language which Protestants could not under stand, and then they all worshipped the gavelocks. (Loud laughter.)—l asked, did he perceive any change in the gavelocks after they were worshipped ? He said he did not think any better of it, and I am quite certain he verily believed every word he said. On the next day, I visited Ampleforth College (a place worthy of the esteem of every admirer of liberal' education, religious purity and genuine hospitality), and I inquired as to this gavelock worshipping branch o f the new Reforma tion—(Loudwhen I obtained this solu tion of the awful mystery —that so me of the young Lords sometimes rolle d lar g e st ones down the hill laughter) — for their musement, and borrowed poor Lumley's gavelocks to aid in these idolatrous practices.— (Laughter.)—Such things are very ludicrous, but consider whether they are not also very pernicious, for what opinion can a peasantry who believe such things entertain of those whom they consider capable of such worship ?—(Hear, hear.)---Mr. Mac Donnell thanked t h e M eet i ng for their indulgent hearing, and was warmly cheered as he concluded. Mr. O'GRADY made some observations on the English Catholics waiting for the example of their Irish brethren before they came forward to perform this great act of justice. The motion was then put and carried unanimously ; arid, after a vote of thanks to Lord Stourton, the Meeting separated. rs in unt, Am nish, 61; aest, 1 2 B'7k ,oR•- tiler lents tble. i 6ti the erel lutti rt of stern This such !mild than Ither The steam at She way. uncut ring it rarip-
