THE LONDON JOUILNALS. - . DAtiel- Extracts from the Morning Papers, May 3, 1825. [MORNING HERALD.] The Catholic Question is one of the most hack tatyed of the present day. For five and twenty years it kas been a leading subject of discussion in Parliament, and since the Whigs of 1806 com mitted shipwreck upon it, the country has viewed it as a _matter of great party importance. At the present day the Cabinet is nearly divided re specting it, and to carry the equipoise farther 'than it was ever known before, the Sovereign is favourable, and his Royal Brother and heir pre sumptive is most adverse, to the cause. Here, then, is a question favoured by. Pitt and Fox, Castlereagh and Canning, Wellesley and Wynn, and opposed by Sidmouth and Colchester, Eldon and Goulburn, Peel and Dawson. Yet is the carrying of such a question free from danger — that is, from possible danger? Ireland returns one hundred Members to the }loose of COM mons. Of this Ireland six-sevenths is Roman Catholic. It is natural, it is right to sup pose, that the six parts will obtain an en tire ascendancy over the seventh, and return one hundred Roman Catholic Members. No matter how far they may now appear from _this ascendancy, it is indisputable that it is the ten dency of the mass of the population to prevail over an insulated party, if no barrier interrupt or restrain the natural level. It is then quite plain that, ultimately, the 6-7ths—the Roman ,Catholics, will return all the Members for Ire land—that is one hundred Members of our House of Commons. Suppose that done—suppose them all Roman Catholic, surely they will entertain a fellow-feeling upon the subject of religion; surely they will combine and agree among themselves upon all public questions. If they do so, they con troul the proceedings of the Lower House of Parliament. Mr. Wilberforce, with about thirty adherents, was able, by transferring his , party to this or that side, to awe the Treasury, and com mand respect from the Opposition. If an O'Con nell had 100 Members at his command, he could, in fact,effect, comparatively, whatever he pleased. He would be more powerful than the first Lord of the Treasury, and controul every movement of Government. Such a knot of men, constantly attending, standing firmly by one another, would become in effect the House of Commons. They could not pass laws, because the Lords would not be influenced by them ; but they could obstruct Ministers, and compel there to adapt their measures to their wishes. This would be exercising an authority over the Ca binet ; and it is well known that the Cabinet coutrouls both Houses of Parliament, or must cease to be the Cabinet. The question seems much more complicated and difficult than at first view it would appear. It is easy to get over all embarrassment by saying that Roman Catholic Senators care nothing for their peculiar dogmas, but if they do not, why all this struggle to make those very dogmas passable in the Senate ? These are mere hints. Hereafter it may be right to enter more largely into the different views which the question presents. E TIM ES.I It is stated in the Bombay Papers last received that the booty captured in Kittor amounted to I'2 Lacs of rupees, about 150,0001. sterling. Is the basis laid here, we may ask, for the same species of glaring injustice as that practised towards the captors in the well-known Deccan case? There is no oppression at which the heart sickens so much as that which takes place generally under our system of prize-money distribution, but par ticularly that which relates to the apportioning of booty captured in India, wherein every petty excuse for delay seems to be unfeelingly resorted to. Why not authorize the Governments of fodia, in all cases of undisputed prize, to make an immediate distribution on the spot, instead of deferring it for years, as is the case at present, until many of the brave claimants, by the course of nature, are mingled with the dust ? Last night Mr. Huskisson brought forward his motion for the issue of the bonded wheat. We regret to say, that he proposed a duty of 10s. per quarter on its liberation. This is.like opPressingi au acquitted prisoner with heavy gaol-fees, when in truth he ought to hive been remunerated for 4 - hp severity and duration of his unmerited impri sonment. This grain has already cost the owners about 86s. per quarter, to whiCh the duty of lOs. rust be added, making the whole cost 06s. per quarter. It must likewise be observed, that the influx of even this quantity (300,000 qrs.) into the market, would delay the desirable crisis at which foreign grain might be admitted, if the managers of the averages were ever diSposed to let that crisis arrive.—(Mid.) HORNING CHRONICLE.] The amusement which the allusion of Mr.'('. Courtenay to the `Thirty-nine Articles . occasioned in the House on Friday night was very edifying. The Honourable Member said, he i w ; 01114 a l most venture to say, that a very great majority, of thole he',was now addressing never bad read the articles of their. religion, and this was received with ahearty Ta'ngh, Which, we suri'pose, was direCted against his simplicity in making any exceptions from his However, when they found that he . did tint' think a tit the'ivOrse of.thetn ,for giving the Thirty-nine Articles the go-by, and even went so far -as to say, " that the greater part of Ahem related to things. notut all necessary for any one to believe,' or evento entertain," and that it was pu means requiied,'pr of the slightest use _tol form an opinion about therm one way or the other.`l The laugh soon settled into, applause, and he was Piudli Cheered. By the bye; a bitsk controversy has been carried on between the Bishop of Ches ter' and Mr, Charles Butler on . this subject, arising put of an assertion of the • latter in his Book - of the Roman Cathol.FC Chttrch..The pillets of these two Gentler en to lie founik iti ; t lsOmbe r of tile,. Pamphleteer just poblished;'- Butler does not, it seems, relish; the-tate with which Church of England_lien sub-', 401A.:*iticlei !inn' disaiPpro;ie,. and urges against his Right Reverend opponent the very general indifference among those who profess themselves members of the Estab lished Church. The Bishop of Chester tells him he knows not what answer can be given to such insinuations as these, except a positive and in dignant denial. Mr. Butler, however, proves his case by the testimony of almost every name of eminence in the English Church ; but he ob serves—" If blame be imputable to them, it is not that they declare their belief of what they do not believe, but that they entertain an er roneous opinion of the nature of the instrument which they subscribe, by considering it merely as an instrument of peace, when they ought to con sider it as a profession of belief." Mr. But tler asks his Lordship, " why, according to the principles which I have shewn to be generally adopted, in the Thirty-nine Articles," the Ca tholics could not also make certain religious declarations, and conform to the religious rite of the Lord's Supper, considering them mere ly as articles and symbols of peace ? The best answer to this is to be found in the genius of the two religions. The Church of England man is at liberty to declare that he affixes his own meaning to the articles ; the Ca tholic is tied down to the meaning attached by his Church to the acts in question, and he ceases to be a catholic if he deviates from the interpre tation of that Church. The same sort of sincerity could easily be obtained in the English Church, if the different Bishops were to imitate the Bishop of Peterborough, who will not allow his Clergy to attach their own meaning to the oaths. [MORNING POST.] French Papers of the Ist instant, with the Mode of Sunday, reached us last night by Lx press. Their contents are not important. A Deputation from the Chamber of Peers presented to the King on Saturday the Law for the reduc .tion of Rentes, which has now been passed by both Branches of the Legislature, and only wants the Royal Assent to become operative. The Etoile boasts that it has been carried by a large majority, but when it is recollected that nearly a dozen new Peers were made two days before the House came to a vote, it will not appear strange that a law, which was stoutly combat ted by the opposition, should have been carried by something like respectable numbers, although one of a somewhat similar character had been re jected the year before. Prince Wittgenstein, who it appears has quitted the service of Russia in which he distinguished himself so much in the celebrated campaign of 1812, is to attend the Coronation of Charles X. as Ambassador Extra ordinary from the King of Prussia. M. de Vil le!e has introduced "a new project of law in the Chamber of Deputies, to allow foreign grain, on the Ist of Sept. next, to he m arehousedand bonded in certain frontier towns of Fran Ce. According to advices from Rome, _the King of Naples made his entry into the capital of the Papal world on the 15th ult., and afterwards met his son, the Prince of Salerno, at the. Farnese Palace. Late accounts from Spain continue to speak of distur bances and broils between the Royal Volunteers and the people. In the House of Commons last night Mr. Plunkett put off the Committee on the Catholic Relief 13111 to Friday next, at the request of Sir Francis Burdett, who was prevented by severe indisposition from being able to attend. Mr. Littleton in consequence postponed the Com mittee on the Irish Elective Franchise Bill to the same day. The House then having resolved it self into a Committee of Supply, Mr. Hwkisson proposed his promised measures for releasing the. bonded Corn in this country, and for admitting Canadian Corn on the payment of a small duty of five shillings per quarter. With respect to the banded Corn, the Right Hon. Gentleman pro posed, that one-third of the quantity warehoused should be brought into home consumption every month, on paying a duty of 10s. per quarter. He then introduced resolutions to that effect, which were carried without a division.—(lbid.) NEW TIMES.] It was merely in the hurry of sending our Paper to press that we yesterday inserted, with out a comment, the extract from a country Paper, which. asserted the death of the venerable and excellent Bishop of Durham. In point of fact, we had every reason to doubt the accuracy of the report. We heard on Thursday morning a vague rumour that the Noble Prelate was ill, and we im -1 mediately instituted inquiries, from which we learnt that his - Lordship was at Worthing, and that he hid been seen there in remarkably good health only the day preceding. It was certainly possible that the Bishop might have expired sod denly on the Thursday, but, coupling all the circumstances together, we were disposed to doubt the statement in the Oxford Paper, though made in so very positive a manner ; and it affords us the most sincere pleasure to find that the story _has received a formal and po sitive contradiCtion from his Lordship's medi cal attendant at Worthing. To those who have the happiness of a personal acquaintance with the amiable and dignified Prelate, it will be most gratifying to hear that' his Lordship, not withstanding his very advanced age , " is i n good health, daily enjoying the refreshing and invigorating breezes of Worthing, and tire de lightful rides in its neighbourhood, in his open .barquche." His moderate and regular habits have already extended -leis days to a very ad vanced period ; and lone may ment the he yet live to or. na Episcopal Bench, and to benefit the Diocese under•ltis care !. If it were allowable to address a Christian Pastor in the language up plied by a clas s i ca l P oe t, with far less reason , t o Isis patron, lie should be tempted to sa.y.t9 this venerable and virtuous rnan—Sergs in ccelum rederzy ! [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] Letters were received yesterday from Zante, dated the 26th and 27th of March ; they confirm the intelligenc e which we exclusively Published s ome days since, of the total overthroy of the ,„EgYPti!th ex. edition which had 1 26 ( 1 0 the Morea. These advices are by far the latest that have reached this coil:I-try ; and as they come. from a very respectable source, and, more over, agree with oar former accounts from that Island, they have an indubitable claim to the highest credit. The news, which ap peared in the last number of the Austrian Ob server, is not so late- by two weeks as that we are now commenting upon, and, moreover, it came through the remote and notoriously partial channel of the Austrian Chancery at Constanti nople. These letters also confirm our former ad vices relative to the extraordinary preparations of the Greeks: a camp of 10,000 men was to be immediately formed before Patras under the command of Conduriottis and Maurocordato ; 6,000 men were to invest Coron and Modon, and a strong corps, consisting of 16,000 men, was to proceed to Western Greece, to join the troops already assembled there, in order to give the Turkish Seraskier a good reception, should he carry into effect his menace of invading that Province. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Committee on the Roman Catholic Re- lief Bill is postponed till Friday, in consequence I of the illness of Sir F. BURDETT. The accom panying measure for regulating the Elective Franchise in Ireland is also delayed for the same reason. The principal business in the House of Commons last night was the passing of the Re solutions in Committee relative to the admission of bonded- corn, and the importation of wheat from the British Colonies in North America. The Resolutions were brought forward by Mr. Hus kisson, in a speech in which he confined himself to a brief statement of the law and the facts con nected with the subject. The Right Hon. Gen tleman proposed that the corn that has been bonded for three years should be gradually in troduced, one-third during the month ending on the 15th of June, another third on or before the 15th of July, and the remainder on or before the 15th of ArtTust. The quantity of bonded corn thus rendered admissible to the home market is estimated at 400,000 quarters ; and as it is calcu lated that the present tendency to rise will continue the gradual introduction of this corn will not, in all probability, be attended with any consider. able inconvenience. The amount of duty is fixed, not with a view to increase the receipts of the Exchequer, but at such a rate as, while it pro tects the agriculturist, %%ill yet induce the holder to bring his corn to market in case of any defi ciency of supply. The following is the duty proposed : X s. d. For every quarter of 'Wheat - - 010 0 For every quarter of Eye, Peas, and Beans - 0 6 6 For every quarter of Barley, Beer, or Bigg - 0 5 0 For every quwter of Oats - 0 3 6 For every cwt. of Flour - - 0 2 10 The second Resolution removes all restrictions on the importation of wheat from the British Co lonies in North America, and, in lieu of all existing duties, imposes a duty of five shillings a quarter. This duty, together with the costs of freight, it is expected will be sufficient to pre vent the importation of wheat in excessive quantities from North America. This propo sition is wholly prospective, as it is intended to admit the North American corn now in the ware houses in the market, free of all duty, on the 15th of this month. There are only about 20,000 quarters in this country. Mr. Huskisson's speech was clear and convincing. Air. Baring was of opinion that the admission of the foreign corn in the warehouses was a measure highly expedient, that the time was judiciously chosen, and the duty very fairly adjusted between the interests of the proprietors of corn and those of the coun try at large. Earl POIII'IIIOIIE, on his journey from Geneva, has lately been attacked with a paralytic affec tion, in consequence of which, according - to the latest accounts, serious apprehensions are enter tained of his Lordship's safety. The United Associate Synod of Scotland met last week to take into consideration the conduct of Rev. Mr. Fletcher. After some discussion it was ultimately agreed without a vote, that on ac count of the offences of Mr. Fletcher, his contu macy, his refusing to submit to the sentence of the Synod, and from his giving no appearance of repentance, he shall be declared a fugitive from discipline--the Synod, at the same time, declar ing that though he was worthy of being deposed, yet from the peculiar circumstances of his case, they were content with merely expunging his name from the roll. His name, therefore, was ordered to be expunged. _ - - SINGULAR INSTANCE OF INCUBATION.—A lad who a few weeks since had the misfortune to fracture his thigh by a fall in the yard of his employer, Mr. Z. Fincham, banker, of Diss, during the necessary period of his being obliged to keep his bed, amused himself with hatching a hen's egg, which has disclosed a fine chicken. Not yet being able to quit his bed, he has undertaken the care of two other eggs for a second brood.—(Norgich Mercury.) The Annual Polyanthus Feast was held on Tuesday at the Globe Inn ; the show of flowers was -uncommonly fine. The first prize was adjudged to Mr. R. Hopkins ; the second to Mr. Wm. Ewers, gardener to the Lord Bishop of Hereford; and the third to Mr. Mann, of this city. The dinner and wines were served in Clarke's usual style of excellence.—( South , ampton Pupil., April 30.) Mr. ANDREW MEREDITH, of Ruerdean, the prosecutor of Prober!, has been unable to regain possession of his horse. The Magistrates refused him permission to take the animal away until after the trial was over ; and by that time, the expences of its keep at livery, had exceeded his present means of payment. John Kean has been convicted at Glasgow of dischara''ing loaded fire-arms with intent to murder John Graham, one of Messrs. Dunlop's I new spinners. The facts disclosed in evidence showed it to have been as cold-blooded and atrocious an attempt at assassination as was ever made in Spain or Italy. After one ruffian had discharged his pistol without effect, Kean ad vanced to within two yards of his victim, kneeled down, took deliberate aim, and discharged a . pistol full o f swan s h ot i nto t h e body of the un fortunate w or k man .

In the passage of the Indus, he lost about 500 horses and men ; amongst the latter some of his best Sir dars ; but about 10,000 horse crossed in safety, and the guns were conveyed over upon elephants. It is reported that a severe action has already taken place between the Sikh forces and the Afghans, in which the latter were defeated with great slaughter.

THE INDIAN ARMY. 1-lead-Quarters, Calcutta, Nov. 17, 1824. GENERAL ORDERS. Great inconvenience, and delay in the settlement of the claims of Soldiers of his Majesty's Regiments sent to Europe, having been experienced in consequence of Officers in charge not being in possession of documents, showing the dates to which subsistence money, &c. &c. has.been received by them, his Excellency the Commander.in-Chief is pleased to order, henceforth all Officers returning to Great Britain in Command of Invalids, and Soldiers, whose terms of service have expired, shall, previously to their quitting Calcutta, severally forward direct to the Adjutant-General of his Majesty's Forces in India, a Special Report, accompanied by a declaration, that every document connected with the accounts of the men, their conditional discharge, certificates, &c. have, been received, and are held in possession for eventual delivery in England. These Reports and Declarations are to be forwarded in Duplicate, one Copy for Record in the Office of his Majesty's Adjutant-General, and the other for transmission to the Secre tary at War. And, in view to insure the most punctual attention of Officers to the performance of the duty now enjoined, the Commander in-Chief desires that the Brigade Major to the King's Troops will send, at least ten days previously to embarkation, to all Officers placed in the command of Troops proceeding to Europe, a Copy of this Order, and any deviation on the part of those concerned, will call for his Excellency's severest displeasure, and on which a representation will be made to his Royal High ness the Commander-ix-chief. By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, THOMAS M'MAHON, Col, Adj.-Gen. ( Front the John Bull.) THE PONTOON TRAIN. We promised our readers yesterday to lay before them the result of the information we had obtained, relative to the Pon toon Train. It consists of thirty-six whole, or seventy-two half, Pontoons —the boats being formed into two parts, for their more easy conveyance by land. They are constructed of thin teak plank, covered with tin plates, carefully soldered together, to prevent leakage, in the event of the seams opening from exposure to the weather. The pontoons, are, of course, flat bottomed, and each half we should imagine to be about nine or ten feet long, and live feet broad. The beams and planks which constitute the platform of the bridge, are so - fitted on their respective car riages, that, even over the roughest road, no play or motion can take place, and each half pontoon covers its own beams and planks, by being placed over them, bottom up, with its gun wales resting on the carriage. The greatest extent to which the bridge can be drawn is fif teen hundred feet. Over this troops march along in file : for the passage of troops with a front of ten men, it can be extended to six hundred feet ; and for a larger front and light guns, to four hundred and fifty feet. For the transportation of heavy ordnance across broad rivers, the pontoons are formed into rafts of three each, which are capable of supporting the heaviest piece of ordnance. , The rafts are exceedingly manageable, and can be rowed at the rate of about four miles an hour. It is needless to say, that the beams and planks are all made to fit with the utmost nicety, and the whole construction reflects the highest credit on the officer who superintended the equipment, and who, we be lieve, is to command the Train on the service to which it is attached. We stated yesterday, that his Excellency the Commander in-Chief inspected the Train that morning. This took place en the Serpentine Tank, across which the bridge was formed. The following movements were made : —A body of men passed over, both in open, and close order ; after which a six-pounder field piece, with its tumbril, was transported across, without the slightest appearance of affecting the security of the bridge. An eighteen pounder was then put on board a raft, (as de scribed above), transported across, and landed on the opposite bank. - - - - - - - - . ----- The bridge was then dismantled, and formed into rafts, which were rowed on shore, when the whole was taken to pieces, and placed on carriages, as we described above. We mentioned yesterday that his Excellency expressed his approbation of the construction of the various parts of the bridge —of the manner in which the movements were made, and the admirable facility with which the whole was put together and taken to pieces, as well as the ease with which the whole is transported. The Train left Calcutta yesterday, to be embarked on boats on the Salt Water Lake„ whence it will proceed to the Division of the Army,under Brigadier-General Morrison, at Chittagong. 'The bullocks, for its future conveyance by land, left Calcutta ome time since. LONDON MARKETS, PRICE. OF BREAD.

BIRMINGHAM CATHOLIC MEETING On Thursday last, a very numerous meeting of the Midland Catholic Association was held at . the Royal Hotel, Birmingham. Ili the evening a complimentary dinner was given in the same place, to Edward Blount, Esq. the Secre- • tary to the British Catholics. Mr. O'Connell was to have at tended both by invitation, but did not arrive at the place until late hour. In the mean time several resolutions were agreed to, and the usual business of the Society gone through. Seve ral speeches were also addressed to the meeting. It was at length announced that Mr. O'Connell had been in town for some time, but owing to accident, he was in ignorance of the existence of the Meeting. He was instantly sent tor.— The Learned Gentleman, accompanied by Mr. Bric; now en tered the room, when the Meeting rose and received them with the loudest applause. Both these Gentlemen were voted Mem bers of the Association by acclamation. Mr. O'CoNNELL then rose, and after returning thanks for the compliment, made a long speech. Mr. Britc next rose and spoke at some length. The whole business being gone through, the meeting broke up, after which upwards of 200 gentlemen sat, down to a splen did dinner, given by the Association to Mr. Blount, Mr. Canning being in the Chair. Nearly a third of the company consisted of Protestants and Dissenters. The usual patriotic and appropriate toasts were drank. Mr. Finch, a venerable old gentleman , the so n- in - la w o f t h e celebrated Dr. Priestley, sat next Mr. O'Connell; and when the latter rose to return thanks, Mr. Finch rose at the same moment, scarcely able to sustain himself under the weight of years, and, opening his snuff-box, invited the Learned Gentle man to accept a pinch of snuff, which he good-humouredly did. Mr. O'CoxNELL, in the course of several short s p eeches honest during the evening , ob served that his recent intercourse with right the English people ha d removed a great man y errors from his ab idin false impressions, and honourable mind. He proposed the health of Mr. Brownlow, whi c h was Bredn i I it, , he ev said, opinions.

The Reverend Mr. M`DoNNELL proposed the health of the Dissenters, who honoured the dinner with their presence. Mr. Come, a Dissenter, Mr. Gregory, of the Established Church, and Mr. Williams, a Protestant Barrister, severally returned thanks. On the health of the Bar being drank— Mr. Wrwasts,a Barrister of the Midland Circuit, returned thanks. The Catholic Deputation, Messrs. O'Connell and Brie, were then drank. Bnic returned thanks. The festivity was kept up to a late hour ; Priests Unitarian Ministers , Catholics, Protestants, and vying with each other to see who would do most to promote . the happiness of the oc casion. Mr. Fitch (the Gentleman above alluded to) was heard in the course of the night to exclaim, on looking around the room, " Thank God, the spirit of Priestley is appeased !
