THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUG-UST 18, 1834 GRAND PROTESTANT MEETING. (Abridged from Saunders's News Letters.) On Thursday the great meeting of the Protestant no= blemen, gentlemen, clergy, and landed proprietors of Ire land, convened by requisition, signed by the following dis tinguished noblemen—the Earls of Roden, Enniskillen, Longford—Lords Bandon, Lorton, and Farnham—took place at the King's-room, Mansion-house. The requisition was to the following effect : " We, the undersigned, being deeply impressed with a sense of the alarming situation in which the Protestants of Ireland are now placed, and being anxious to co-operate with them for the protection of our religion, and the preservation of our liberties and our property, request your attendance,: and that of any your friends who agree in our opinions of the present posture. of affairs," &c. Among others whom we observed on the platform, were the following : The Marquis of Downshire, Earl of Roden, Earl o: Mayo, Earl of Winchilsea, Earl of Longford, Earl a Rathdowne, Earl Courtown, Earl Norbury, Earl of Ban. don, Viscount Massareene, Viscount Castlemaine, Viscount Lorton, Lord Downes, Lord Mandeville, Lord Hillsbo rough, Lord Cole, Lord Stopford, Sir Robert Bateson, Bart., M.P., Archdeacon Lindsay, Sir James Bruce, Bart., Mr. De Salis, Hon.

Lord RODEN was received with enthusiastic chears. He addressed the meeting, saying—" Before the chair is taken I am anxious to address -a few words to this numerous and highly respectable assembly, particularly to such portion of it as constitute my Orange brethren. I believe you will give me credit when I assert, that there is no more sincere Orangeman among you than myself ; therefore you will bear with me when I remind you that this meeting has been called to gather together Protestants from all parts of the kingdom ; many of whom have not, as yet, had the honour and good fortune to belong to our loyal and patriotic body, and who may now only begin to see the value and conser vative principle of our association. Having said thus much, I- have only to request of you not to exhibit your badges and banners, lest they might not be agreeable to some. I know you are persuaded I am sincerely with you, and, therefore, you must feel that I make this request but with a view to the benefit of the general cause, to support which we have assemhled here this day." The Earl of BANDON proposed as Chairman the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor—(Cheers) —t o him they were in debted for the use of the splendid room in which they were then assembled, and he was known to all as a truly upright and loyal Protestant. The LORD MAYOR said it was a proud thing to be placed in the chair, to preside at such a splendid assembly. The Earl of RODEN now presented himself, having an orange and blue handkerchief in his hand. The most tre mendous cheering prevented his Lordship from proceeding with his address for several minutes. When the cheering subsided he said, " 'My Lord Mayor, I feel ()Teat delight in having the opportunity upon thi s occasion of meeting the friends of the empire to which I- belong —persons flocking in from all parts of the country in support of our glorious cause—the cause of liberty, and the cause of God. My Lords and Gentlemen, it is two years .since I last had the honour of addressing you in this room, since which time the attempts upon Protestantism have been advancing, and I day after day, have been developing, with awful fearfulness, the trying situation of the Protestants of this country. They have been deserted by supposed friends. But we have been left to our own resources, and, with the blessing of God, we shall uphold our liberty, maintain our rights, and support each other in our common struggle to prevent the prostration of all that is dear to us.—(Cheers.) At the meeting which was held about two years ago in this room, it was resolved that when necessity demanded that another should be called, means should be taken to re-as semble the Protestants of the country. This, then, is the crisis provided for by that resolution. We have taken upon our selves to call you together —we have thought it necessary to consult in great numbers—to agree upon a unity of action, and to secure general and extensive co-operation. Our object is to maintain those rights for which our forefathers fought, and purchased for their posterity, at the peril of their pro perty and lives. Never were Protestants placed in a more awful situation since the days of the revolution. From all parts of the country Protestants are emigrating, leaving. those behind them beset with multiplying dangers. It is be cause feeling these things strongly, I would suggest decided measures. But cast with the Protestants of Ireland, as they stand or fall, so shall I.—(Hear.) Our enemies are formi dable, but blessed be God, we are a phalanx—(Cheers)— and what cannot people bound together with but one spring of action accomplish ? We are ready to do our duty, firm, and determined to support the cause which we love— (Cheers)--and supported by principles we shall never flinch nor surrender.—(Cheers.) The Protestant gentry are called upon to encourage, uphold, and foster their for mer brethren. Much of the evils of the times have arisen in consequence of the humbler classes of Protestants being neglected, instead of being taken by the hand by those who ought to be their protectors.—(Hear, hear.) But it is not too late to rectify the error—we have nothing in view but the prosperity and happiness of our native land. It is not for power we have to contend. The contest for ascen dancy is over. The preservation of our property, our lives, and our liberties, is now the subject of our consideration. Oh ! I have to abandon principle ! to abandon truth ! to truckle to agitation ! and to succumb to an agit,ator—to yield to those who never can be friends, and who only profess moderation as long as it may appear expedient to do so.—( Hear, hear, hear.) 'When I see the fairest por tion of my country, the Protestant population, abandoned, my soul is aroused—l am resolved to do what I can to avert the threatened calamities of my Protestant brethren. When we see the dangers by which we are surrounded, all shades of difference with respect to minor considerations must be given up. Protestants must -cling together for their common protection ; the higher classes must use their pro tecting influence over the humbler, and, the humbler be given fair means of using their hands and their sinews.-- (Cheers.) I may be told that the word " surrender" is a cant among us, but I cannot forget that I am an Orange man—(Chers)—though now addressing a general Pro testant meeting. Our motto is "No surrender," and we will maintain the principle which that motto expresses— (Cheers)—and I cannot let the present opportunity pass of expressing my most sincere and warm thanks for the kind and generous manner in which my brother Orangemen in this meeting have within the last hour shown the respect and regard they, I trust, entertain for me, by attending to my advice respecting those banners, whi c h m i g ht, perhaps, not have been quite agreeable to some persons assembled at this great general Protestant meeting. It would be im possible for hi m , accor di ng t o th e s p ace o f time on the pre sent occasion allowed him, to enter into a detail of all the measures having the tendency he had spoken of, introduced and proceeding upon by his Majesty's Ministers. But as one of them he would refer to the new course of public education which they had thought proper to adopt, which totally excluded our children, our neighbours' children, and all the Protestant youth of Ireland from such public schools, without sacrificing their religious principles and those honest and conscientious scruples instilled in their minds by their religious instructors, and their parents, who truly believe in the great truths of the Gospel of our land ; these weak Ministers have taken away the funds from those who justly distributed them, and placed them in the hands of the Catholic priests.—(Hear, hear.) I need not go far back. But let us look now to the Com- . -- mission lately issued. Issued for what purpose ? Why, for the purpose of numbering the people—of showing to our enemies where the Protestants are weak ; and, from the bottom of my heart, I believe, that in numbering their heads, the heads of the Protestants of Ireland, they were at the same time numbering their lives—(Hear, hear), and I really feel that this odious Commission is- not by any means so much of a political as it is of a religious character —(Hear, hear)—and that its great eventual object would be to establish Popery in the room of sound Protestantism, to put down truth, and to place error in its stead.—(Hear, hear.) But Hook to the meritorious exertions of the Protestant Ministers of the Gospel in this country, and no body or class of men, though they have been so much aspersed, can exceed them in the best and most excellent qualities of our nature. I say I look to them for uphold ing oar holy religion and the Gospel of our Lord. Yes , yes—the effect of the Commission will, I am convinced, go far, very far even beyond the expectations or anticipa tions of those with whom it emanated. Then what is the only duty of those gentlemen who possess an estate, who possess property ? We must depend upon ourselves.— (Hear, hear.) Thus fr o m ev il goo d may ar i se ; an d t h us , after all, will prosper our great and glorious cause, at a time when we are surrounded by other sects. It is for that purpose that my Noble Friend Lord Winchilsea, who now sits by my side, came over with me yesterday to this coun try—to prove his kindred feeling in the cause of the Pro testants of Ireland, and to prove that in his place in Eng land he will be ever ready to support and uphold that good and glorious cause.—(Lord Roden sat down amidst tre mendous cheering.) The Earl of LONGFORD next addressed the Meeting, but in such a very inaudible voice that we could not distinctly understand his first sentences. His Lordship in substance stated that he would always maintain his old principles, and that was the feeling of all those Protestants with whom lie conversed and was in any way connected. • The Earl of WINCHILSEA rose and said—" My Lords and Gentlemen, I rise with feeling s d eep l y regr etting my waqtalent and. t of stand ability in the c a u s e w hi c h I .now forward to advocate with heartfelt sincerity—(Hezr.) I can assure this highly numerous and most respectable meet ing, that those feelings are so strong on the present occa sion, that they have totally unnerved the little talents I may be possessed of.—(Hear, hear, and cheers). My Lords and Gentlemen, I feel that if I had all the power of oratory which could adorn the human mind, the field before me now is one on which I would feel myself called on to exer cise it, and it would force itself from me with the force of the mountain torrent, on the merits of the sacred cause for which we have assembled—a cause not only affecting the liberties of my fello w - coun t rymen , b u t a l so th a t of the Protestant Church in this part of the empire—( Hear, hear.) We are assembled to stand forward and defend the liber ties of that Church.—(Hear.) It is not my intention to occupy your time more than a few moments, particularly on account of the many talented gentlemen who are to follow me. In the strongest language which I can possibly make use of, I beg to call your attention to the dan gerous situation in which Protestantism is at present, and to refer to the acts of our Legislature, who nominally only pro fess our religion, but who have falsely and cowardly turned their backs upon it, and are prepared to sacrifice _it at the shrine of infidelity and Popery—(Hear, hear)—but- we will show our determination to uphold it against such infamous desertion and treachery.—(Loud cheers.) I will now put my hand to my heart and say that I am as great a friend, and, perhaps, greater, of the Roman Catholics of this em pire, as those who profess it in a far different way from what they practice to their blind followers, and who oppose our interest with that perceptible weakness which, thanks to God, is perceptible, and on no occasion more than this day. It is needless to say that lam the sincere and unde viating friend of the Protestant Church of this part of the empire, whose rights have been so sacrilegiously trampled on.—(Loud cheers.) My Lords and Gentlemen, I have stated that the religion of our Church is in danger. I look back with feelings of contempt' and disgust at the late at tempt to extinguish at one blow Protestantism in this coun try. If I could see the justice which I look for done to our Church, I would not have a wish of my heart ungratified— I have nothing to ask of my God.—(Cheers.)' There was a step taken by our Legislature upon which my opinion is well known—it was that of withdrawing the grant from that security to the Protestant religion—namely, the Kil dare-place Society--( Hear, hear)—which established a system of education in this country so much to be admired by every liberal and enlightened mind.--(Loud cheering.) It was the intention, in fact, to withdraw the whole Bible from that institution, in order to convert all the Protestants to the Roman Catholic religion.—(Hear.) What is the first step taken by those who wished to subvert our religion ? Look to the Commission for numbering your Protestant countrymen—for the decided and base purpose of holding their weakness up to view. —(Hear, hear.) A Commission for the purpose of robbing the Church of its property, which it has as good a right to, hold as any individual has to his own private property.—(Loud cheers.) It must be re membered that the Church of this empire was defended by the piety of individuals who wished to uphold the religion of that Saviour whose name they called on for their sup port. Some there are who assert that the property of our Church was formerly that of the Roman Church. I deny that assertion. I can prove from . the history of our country that sound Christianity was introduced into it before Popery came. I will point to all parts of the world, and prove that in all countries where the Roman Catholic religion is there will be found the extreme of misery and slavery pre vail. Into such countries no capital flows as it does into Protestant England---(Continued cheers)—and I emphati cally say that if this country could become Protestant, I firmly believe that capital would also flow into it, and would make it a powerful, happy, religious, and quiet country. You have everything in your power to make it happy, if you spread the principles which we are met here to-day to propagate. My Lords and gentlemen, we have lived to see most fearful times ; but it is a duty which we owe to our country, and which, from the spirit which emulates this meeting, I feel gratified in saying that we can bear up against it ; this spirit, I assure you, prevails in me and the great body of your fellow-countrymen in Eng gland. I will convey to them that spirit—l will call upon them to make one common cause with you. We will not confine ourselves to these shores. I will fight the battle of Protestantism to the latest hour of my life, uniting with you in heart and hand ; and trusting the event to the will of that God who has always stood by us, we will, I trust, triumph over the united efforts of Popery, and transmit to posterity our glorious victory.— (Cheers.)--If the landed gentry and respectability of this country do not come forward and support their poorer bre thren in this glorious cause, I say they will be guilty of a great dereliction of duty. I cannot close here without allud ing to that majority of 67, which succeeded in effecting the debaseinent of an iniquitous act attenipted.to have been practised on our Church. There can be no question but that a surrender has been made into the hands of the agi tators of this country, who would turn the Protestant reli gion out.of the country if they had the power, which thanks to God, they shall not. With respect to the tithes, will any man tell the that there would not be as much difficulty in collecting the 60!. as otherwise ? If they would be bound to accept this bonus, the same agitation would exist. ,The Noble Earl concluded by expressing an anxious hope that whatever trials the Protestant Clergy might have to under go, not only the Protestants of Ireland but of England would come forward and support them with all their might. The cheering at the conclusion of the Noble Earl's address lasted for several minutes, during which there was a unani mous waving of handkerchiefs by the ladies in the gallery. Captain COTTINGHAM informed the meeting that he had received numerous letters from Noblemen and gentleman who signed the requisition, who were not able to attend, but as the whole day would be occupied in the speeches of the gentlemen present, he would not occupy the time of the meeting by reading them, but they might rest assured there was not a single dissentient person absent. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE next addressed the meet ing. Having a large stake in the country, he considered it his duty to come forward at this emergency. He had been a supporter of Catholic emancipation, because he believed it would have promoted • the good of all classes in the em pire. He had been mistaken to some extent,but yet he did not altogether despair. -He earnestly recommended the Protes tants of Ireland, in seeking for justice for themselves, to act in the way that they would like others should act towards them ; that was a leading principle of the Chris tian religion. He should move a resolution to which no man should object :—" That it was the right and duty of the people of Ireland to maintain the Protestant religion, upon the preservation of which was founded the right of the House of Brunswick to the throne of these realms, and which was guaranteed by the treaty of Union between Great Britain and Ireland. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON, of Hampton, seconded the reso lution. They were now upon the eve of a mighty conflict. Hitherto it had been a war of words—but the time for ac tion was approaching, and Ireland would be the scene of the contest.—(Cheers.) The Peers of England had nobly done their duty—the Protestants of Ireland should be ready to support them with their voices, and, if necessary, with the b a yonet.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Lord DowNEs proposed the next resolution, expressing the opinion of the meeting that the supremacy of Popery was the object of recent attempts at legislation. The Rev. JOHN MARTIN, late F.T.C.D. (who has been recently addressing letters to the Protestants of England), seconded the resolution in a long polemical speech. The plan which lie recommended was a " society and a subscrip tion." They should have penny magazines to enlighten the people of England, and they should also adopt offensive as well as defensive measures. With a slight alteration in the Liturgy they might conciliate the Wesleyan Methodists to make common cause with them.—(Cries of " Hear," and " No, no.") The Rev. CHARLES BOYTON, who was received with cheering, next addressed the meeting. After apologizing for the absence of the Earl of Enniskillen, which was caused by illness, he proceeded to describe the imminent danger and ruin which were at their doors. They had as sembled to complain of the unprincipled acts of his Ma jesty's Government, and to appeal for redress to the King and the Parliament. He vindicated himself and the Clergy who attended from any interested motives. If they de sired it, they might readily become pensioners of the Treasury, but in doing so they would sacrifice the rights of their successors, and those of the immense lay body over whom they had spiritual charge. The Reverend Gentleman proceeded to draw a parallel between the acts of James the Second's Government in Ireland and those of the present Ministry, as regarded the Protestants, their church, and the system of education. He contended that no reliance could be placed in -the professions of the exist ing Ministry or of the late Premier, and read extracts from their speeches in support of his allegation, and also a pas sage from a speech of Lord Plunket, whose name was received with a groan by the meeting. The reverend speaker next adverted to the neglect of education, and dwelt upon the suppression of the Kildare-place ,Society by the Government, although its system was one of joint education for Catholics and Protestants. The principle of that Society may be condemned, but its suppression was one of the many facts to prove that the object of his Majesty's Government was the appropriation of the surplus plundered from the Protestant Church, in order to form a Catholic establishment—to put down the name and race of Protestants in Ireland, and raise up a Catholic de- mocracy upon the ruins. Tithe property is attacked because it is the more easily assailable. But the question was one of property, not of religion ; and the destruction of tithes would be followed next year by an assault on every descrip tion of lay property. Unpopular as Protestant Clergymn may be, they were not regarded with a tithe of the disgust and hostility excited by the absentee landlord. The wretch edness of the people of Ireland exposed them to the self ish machinations of every political quack, At one time the remedy was Catholic emancipation—at another reform —at another repeal of the union ; but the real evils of the people were left untouched, whilst poverty overspread the land. Mr. O'Connell found the peasantry his ready in struments, and the Church was to be sacrificed merely as a sop to produce temporary satisfaction. "The Rev. Gentle man read extracts from Dr. Doyle, and from the report on the distress in Ireland in 1822, with the hope of inducing , the landlords of Ireland to bestir themselves, and take mea sures for betterinc , the conditi on o f th e mass of the people. It was said by the Whigs, the great absentee proprietors, that the Church property originally belonged to the Catho lics, but to whom, he would ask, did the absentee property originally belong ?—(Cheers.) Tithe had been branded upon cattle seized for church revenues ; but would it not be as easy to brand " Absentee" upon cattle seized for the rents of the absentee landlord ?—(Cheers.) Lord LORTON moved the next resolution, which pledged the Protestants of Ireland to defend their religion with their lives. The Rev. MORTIAIER O'SULLIVAN seconded the resolu tion. He considered the present period of tranquillity as given by God to afford time for union and preparation to meet the storm which threatened to break upon them.— (Cheers.) After alluding to the " mystical philosophy" which characterised the Irish Secretaryship of Mr. Charles Grant, whose system of conciliation had produced a bloody insurrection, he slightly adverted to Lord Mel bourne (then Mr. Lamb) as Irish Secretary, observing that when - the lamb was here the wolf was.upon the walk. —(Hear and laughter.) The Rev. Gentleman then re viewed the conduct of Lord Plunket—his abortive at tempts at Legislation—his vow to dedicate his sons, born and unborn, to eternal hostility to England. That vow pursued this false Statesman as a curse throughout his career ; and was it to such a man they would confide the integrity and permanency of the Union?—(Hear, hear.) The hoary and the young amongst the Ministry had started in a race of competition to laud Mr. O'Connell. The de nounced of the King's speech had now become the selected object of adulation by the King's Ministers, who shame lessly avowed by their acts that he was their unceremonious, their unshackled, their despotic dictator.._ (Loud cheering.) The Rev. Gentleman proceeded at much length to vindicate the inviolability of Church property, . . Mr. E. J. SHIRLEY, formerly Member for Monaghai county, proposed the next resolution. The Rev. B. MAGEE seconded it. Lord MASSARENE proposed the next resolution, and made his maiden speech in so low a tone as to be almost inaudible. Sir R. BATESON seconded the resolution. The main business of the meeting had then terminated, and one or two resolutions only remained to be passed. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of Cumberland went on Saturday to his residence at Kew, where his Royal Highness entertained a select party at dinner in the evening. Sir George Grey visited Mr. Secretary Rice on Saturday at the Colonial-office. The Marquis de Miraflores, the Spanish Minister, visited Viscount Palmerston on.

Yesterday his Majesty took a carriage drive in the Park, accompanied by the Princess Augusta and Lady Guilford. Lord Amelius Beauclerk arrived at the Castle on Friday evening. Lord and Lady Falkland arrived on Saturday from the Con tinent. The Duke of Argyll (Lord Steward of the Household), Colonel Bowater, Sir Edward Disbrowe, and Mdlle. d'Este arrived from town ; all of whom w ill prolong their visit till after the Queen's arrival. Lady Guildford and the Ladies North will leave to morrow. The King, attended by his Royal suite, inspected the Life and Foot Guards this morning in the Grand Quadrangle of the Castle. His Majesty afterwards attended divine service in the pri vate chapel of the Castle. The Rev. I. Gosset (the King's private chaplain) preached an eloquent sermon, and the Rev. Mr. Wood read prayers. There were present—Prince George, the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Gloucester, Lady Guil ford, the Ladies North, Lord and Lady Frederick Fitz clarence, Lord and Lady Falkland, Sir .

Beauclerk, Mademoiselle d'Este, Miss Hope Johnstone, and Colonel Bowater. _ His Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Augusta, Mdlle. d'Este, and Lady Guilford, left the Castle this afternoon shortly after three o'clock, in an open barouche, and drove to Virginia Water and the Belvidere. The Ladies North, Col. Bowater, and Miss Hope Johnstone followed in another open carriage. On Wednesday morning the King will go to town; and it is expected that her Majesty will arrive there on that day and accompany his Majesty on his return to Windsor in the evening. The King, we are happy to say, continues to enjoy excel lent health. BRIGHTON, AUGUST 17. We, cannot behold the evening pastime of 100 and music at the two establishments on the Marine Parade without being forcible struck with the change as regards the number of our visitors as compared with former years. The proprietors of the respective libraries do everything they can by way of fur nishing amusements, but nothing seems to answer, and the loos arc scantily filled. Some six or seven summers ago these re sorts of the gay were thronged with elegantly dressed females ; but now, alas 1 the falling-off is too perceptible, Our arrivals are by no means numerous; the hotels seem to be the only places doing any business of consequence. The lodging houses are not yet in very great request ; too many of those ominous bills, " To let," appear in the windows. The Earl of Westmoreland and Lady Georgiana Fane arrived at the Bedford Hotel on Friday evening. The Right Hon. the Lord Chief Baron Joy, with his family, is recently arrived from Ireland. Lord and Lady Louth con tinue to occupy apartments here. The Earl and Countess of Sheffield visited Brighton yester day, and returned in the evening to Sheffield Park. Lord Northwich, after a short stay at the Albion, has taken his departure. The Earl of Buckinghamshire remains. Sir John and Lady Becket are numbered with our arrivals. Sir John Chetwynd has recently purchased a residence at Bognor, _ . The Countess of Darlington is among our arrivals. Sir T. and Fady Fellowes have taken a house in Kemp Town for a lengthened period.

Marshall, &c. Fifty three omnibus, cab, and hackney-coach drivers were summoned for furious driving, insolence, and impediments to other ve hicles in the City, and they were amerced in the penalty of 20s. each, and costs. Another batch of summonses against similar offenders for like offences was granted. They will be disposed of on Saturday next, to which day the Court adjourned. THE MAN OF HONOUR.—This very singular novel is said to delineate the career of an English Don Juan of the present day, who resembles not so much Lord Byron's notable hero of that name as the reckless selfish libertine of the old legend. Such men are more common in moral England than may, at first sight, be imagined ; and the public will be glad to see them indignantly exposed—what adds to the curiosity of the present work is, that it should be the un doubted production of a lady of high rank, who has nobly vin dicated the honour of her sex, by holding up to scorn one of its most insidious enemies. i lie Hamburg. Correspondent mentions that th..: Russian fleet has been performing manoeuvres under the orders of the Emperor Nicholas, and in the presence of the celebrated Captain Ross, before his departure from St. Petersburgh, in which there were engaged eighteen ships of the bee: fourteen frigates, two sloops of war, and several smaller vessels. This is an equivalent to the united fleets of England and France in the Mediterranean. All this number of ships aro greatly de fective in their crews. THE EARL OF DUNDONA-LD.—The Noble Earl left town on Tuesday last for Paris, to take out a patent for a new piece of machinery which he has invented, and up6n which he has expended a thousand pounds a week for many months. LAFAYETTE'S TOMB.—A simple slab of black marble in the little burying-ground of Picpas, in Paris, marks the spot where repose the remains of Lafayette. It bears this inscription :—" Here lies M. P. J. R. G. M. de Lafayette, Lieut.-General Deputy; born at Auvergne, in 1757; mar ried, in 1796, Mdll e . d e Istoailles ; died in 1834.--Requiescat in pace." HIS MAJESTY FIFTY-ONE YEARS AGO.—EX tract of a letter from Gravesend, July 31 :—" On Sunday last his Royal Highness Prince William Henry, and his attend ants, arrived here in a yacht, and remained for some time. The curiosity of the town led men, women, maidens, and children on board to see the young Prince. Some ladies, who dined at the White Hart, sent a melon to his Royal Highness (the only fruit they had), and the Prince returned them the thanks of an obliged seaman for their present. The Governor of Tilbury Fort made his offering, a basket of goose berries and currants, being all that Tilbury Fort afforded."— St. James' Chronicle, Aug : 2, 1783. THE LATE CONSUL GENERAL IN EGYPT.--- " The Memoirs of Mr. Salt (remarks the Observer) is one of the most valuable biographical works which has lately made its appearance. Mr. Salt had the best opportunities for ac quiring correct and important information respecting Abys sinia, and, consequently, these memoirs add much to our knowledge of that country. The result of Mr. Salt's re searches amid the ruins of the land of the Pharaohs and the Ptolemies was a valuable collection of antiquities, &c. Alto gether Mr. Salt's Memoirs contain a great deal of interesting information respecting the ruins of ancient Egypt and also as regards its present state, are of great value and importance, and their entertainment is equal to their value." ECCENTRICITY.—Mr. John Dicker, 36 years of age, late a resident in St. Sitwell's, but a native of Upton Hellions, near Crediton, was taken hence to be buried at that place on the 2d inst. The conductor, Mr. Back, of this city, was mounted on a black horse ; two undertakers also were on black horses; the two mutes on gray ; the hearse also was drawn by four gray horses, and three mourning coaches by 12 black horses. The gray horses, which were a special direc tion of the deceased, are understood to have been in honour of Earl Grey's administration, of which the deceased was an ardent partisan. It is said that he was in Paris in the revolu- tion of the three days, and (as may be supposed) that he sided with the people. He appeared to have a strong presentiment of his death, and gave the most minute directions as to his funeral. He has bequeathed the greatest proportion of his property to aged poor relatives.—Lxeter Flying Post. DRAWING THE BADGER.—.An inn at the town of N—, in which a learned judge and several barristers took up their abode for a night, was the scene of a curious adventure a week or two ago. The counsellors, having thrown aside the wig and its wisdom for the bottle and its folly, became ripe for fun and frolic, and missing a temperate brother, who had stolen out of the room unobserved, they resolved to make him the victim of their cacoethes flareuppi. " The sly old fox has slipt out to secure the best bed," said one. " Let us turn him out of his nest," exclaimed another ; and every one cried " Agreed !" Then commenced the hunt ; up stairs and down —along every passage—scampered the learned troop, examin ing every bed-room in their eccentric orbit, to discover the lair of him whose name may be found athong the prophets. At .ength their zeal had its reward—the long-headed fugitive was traced to his retreat, which, as had been opined, was " the best bed." The unwitting victim was asleep—the whispering train gathered round, and Sergeat A., gently drawing.aside the curtains, and lifting up the clothes at the foot of the bed, said, " Now, G----, draw the old badger I" The learned joker, nothing loth, seized his sleeping brother by the legs, and in another moment would have stretched him on the floor ; but his hand was arrested by a Johnsonian voice from the head of the bed,—" Why,—Brother G—_, surely— you--are—not—going—to—pull—me—out." An unexpected clap of thunder could not have been more startling to the fro licsome group—helter skelter they retreated from the room, leaving to the undisputed possession of " the best bed" the ve nerable Father of the Bench !—Leicester Chronicle. THE DIVERS IN THE DECCAN.—Lieutenant Taylor of the Madras cavalry, has furnished the following in teresting particulars regarding the divers in the Deccan. He had dropped a diamond ring when swimming in a tank in the Deccan, and was advised to employ a set of divers to recover it, and though he had no hopes of success, yet they recovered it after about seven hours' labour, The head of the set of divers whom he employed was a celebrated diver in that part of India. He wore a beautiful bangle on his right arm, a pre sent which he had received from the Peshwa Bajee Row, for having recovered a valuable emerald from the Taptee river. He assured Lieut. Taylor, that though it was a laborious and pain ful trade, yet he had generally found it a lucrative one. Their mode of going to work is as follows :—A set of divers consists of three persons, two of whom dive by turns, while the third sits on the bank. The two divers wade to the place pointed out, each carrying with him a circular wooden dish about seven inches deep and two feet and a half in diameter. With this he descends, and having scooped into it as much of the mud or sand as it will contain, ascends with it to the surface, and sends it ashore, where the third person carefully washes and examines its contents. If the water be not deep, when one man has descended the other keeps him down, by placing one foot on his neck ; upon a given signal, the foot is removed, and the diver ascends. Where the water is deep, the diver sinks a heavy stone, which is fastened to a canoe by a rope, by the aid of which he descends. In this way they continue to work many hours, each diver descending in turn until they have examined the whole surface of the mud in the place pointed out. If the information given them be correct they seldom fail of success. They remain under water from one to one and a half minute each time, but oftener longer, if the water be deep. Their remuneration depends solely on their success. The ordinary allowance is one-third of the value of the article lost, if they succeed in finding, and this is divided in equal portions among them. GRAVESEND SUNDAY STEAMERS.—An extra ordinary scene of confusion was presented esterday morning at the steam-wharf by London-bridge, where were congre gated thousands beyond what could possibly be accommodated on board the'six steamers appointed to start from that wharf. A large proportion of the assembled crowd consisted of per sons who had purchased tickets during the past week, and who were loud in their complaints of the trick which they consi dered had been played upon them. It seems of late the two rival companies whose boats start from this wharf have lowered their fares to ls., Sunday included, provided the ticket is pur chased the previous week, or day, of the appointed agent on the wharf. The ticket on its face gives a right to the buyer to go by any boat belonging to the company by which the agent is employed, and on any day, or hour of the day, at which any one of the several packets enumerated in the ticket is to start. Au immense number of these tickets had been sold by the agents of both companies during the past week, and, as it turns out, to parties most of whom had determined to render them avail .ble yesterday. The consequence was that the shoals of persons which were momentarily arriving at the \ wharf far exceeded the means of conveyance provided by either company. The rush to get on board was tremendous, nor was it hardly possible to prevent the boats from being over loaded to a dangerous extent. Each of the six boats started considerably before their appointed time, and they were com pelled to drag away the platform leading from the wharf to the deck of the boat, when the platform itself was crowded with a dozen or more persons. The Mercury is estimated to have had at least 1,200 persons on board, and even the little Pearl is said to have had 600 on deck when it put off. The following are the boats that started, all crammed choke full above and below :—The Brilliant, the Pearl, the Emerald, the Star, the Mercury, and the Medway. The Gravesend folks complain that the reduction of fares does them no good, especially on Sundays, as it keeps away the respectable, and brings down for the most part only a class that has little money to spend beyond the purchase of beer and tobacco. Their provisions they bring with them. THE NEW AND POPULAR NOVELS OF THE SEASON. Just published by Richard Bentley, New Burling- ton•street.
