con•idei alien, it being well known that the Government did differ 0 , ; , 2 Irorn anotLer on the point, and so be believed he hail expressly stated. The Hun. Member said, that when he stated the intent of that clause (the 1,47 th), there was very general cheering in thellonle. - Ile assuredly &1 not recollect that it was so, though the whole pl in together had been received in a manner which had certainty been highly gratifying to him. It had been stated by the Hon. and Learned Member for Tipperary, that if that House abandoned any measure horn fear of a collision with qnother branch, there could be nothing more fatal in its conse qte-nces to the country. He agreed that when there was any measure of real importance, they should not secede from it, and he would be as ready as any man to maintain his position—(Flear,hear)—but he did say, that unless it was for the attainment of a measure of absolute importance, Government would act a very unnecessary part in bringing the two Houses of Parliament into collision.—(Loud cheers.) He denied that the effect of the BM would be to increase rather than diminish the church property of Ireland ; and if it only went so far as to abolish the vestry cess, it would, he maintained, be productice of immense good. On the question of the alienability of church pro perty, they had given no opinion either one way or another. Colonel DAVIES had no hesitation in asserting that the conduct of Ministers had lately been anything but consistent with what they professed some weeks ago. If there was any thing that was valuable in the Bill, it was that very part of it which had been expunged. Mr. WARD thought that the House ought to adopt the amendment of the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen, i f . . . _ they wished that Ireland should be a means of strength to this country. There was a good deal of reason in what had been said by Dean Swift about England and Ireland. Dean Swift observed, that in all matters relating to the Government of Ireland, England expected to be addressed in the terms used by the enamoured boy to his mistress— " God forbid that even my life should be weighed against the gratification of your least caprice." Surely though such might have been the expectations of England in former periods, tbey could not be entertained now, and a reformed Parliament would be the least likely to encourage them. The English church in Ireland still, however, re quired to be supported in splendour, yet not one single spiritual advantage was derived from that splendour. He knew that it was often said that this church was the na tional church. He could not think of any national church that was not the church of the nation. He knew of no other test of a national church than that of its being the church of the majority of the nation ; and wherever au re was such a singular perversion as a church on one side, and a people on the other, the Parliament had an undoubted right to re-model the Establishment.—(Hear. ) He should regret to see this session pass over, and leJve the Irish church almost intact, as a memorial of the humi lity of the first reformed House of Commons. Mr. PETER would not vote fur the amendment. He agreed with the man who said you had better concede a little to a friend than give up everything to an enemy. Though the Bill was not all he could wish, he should vote in favour of it even without this clause. Sir R. INGLIS observed that the assertion had been made for the thousandth-and-first time, that Catholics supported the church in Ireland. He must deny it. It was property that supported that church, and not piteous, and the property was chiefly in the hands of Protestants. Mr. O'CONNELL said the principle involved in the amendment was the only really valuable principle in the Bill. It was true the church cess was a relief to the peorle ; but if the House struck out the principle for which he was now contending, they would strike out the best part of the Bill. A; HoN. MEMBER. believed the principle of the Bil was to reform the church—not to confittcate its property. A division took place— For the Amendment Against it 177 Majority —9l Several verbal amendments having been made withou nbservation, Mr. O'CONNELL rose to move an amendment to the clause which relates to the income, Fcc., of the Bishop of Derry. He reminded the House that when this Btil was first introduced, all the present incumbents in Ireland were taxed by it. That was objected to as most unreason able, and by universal consent the provision was alte. ed so that no income derived from the Church should be taxed until after the decease of the person who received it. One exception, however, and only one, had been made to this rule, and that exception was the present Bishop of Derry. He (Mr.O'Connell) was desirous that this exception should he erased, and if asked why he made this proposition, his answer would be that he owed a debt of gratitude to the Bishop of Derry, since, perhaps, without his aid, he (Mr. O'Connell) should not have had a seat in the House. He felt a personal regret at the exception, and he saw no suffi cient reason for it. Mr. O'DWYER seconded the amendment. Mr. STANLEY opposed it. The Bishop of Derry held his see under the express engagement, that if Parlia ment thought fit to deal with the subject, his vested inte rests should not stand in the way of a general arrange ment, and that was the only reason why he was excepzed in the Bill. The Hon. "and Learned Gentleman was, however, mistaken, when he said that the Bishop of Derry was the only exception, and even hi: income had not been reduced to the full extent, they had deprived him of only 4,0001. a year out of 12,0001. a year, when they might have taken 6,0001. a year. The Deaneries of Downe and Raphoe were held upon similar terms; and it was fair to mention, with regard to Dr. Plunkett, the Dean of Downe, that although his appointment had not been made in con templation of the present Bil', he had volunteered the re duction of his income, and thus subjected himself to the arrangenient.—( Cheers. ) Sir. R. PEEL supported the view just taken by the Right Hon. Gentleman. He felt nothing but respect for theßishop of Derry,who had been appointed to his first See while he (Sir R. Peel) was Secretary of State ; hut he never could consent to the principle of giving the Bishop of Derry 4,0001. a year because he voted in favour a the Roman Catholics.—(Hear, bear.) Besides, if it were to be given to the Bishop for the consistency of his advocacy, be himself would not and could not accept it, for he had signed a petition expressing decided hostility to the claims of the Roman Catholics. Mr. O'CONNELL remarked that there was neither candour nor the affectation of it in what had just fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet. When the Bishop of Derry, then Dean of St. Patrick's, found that his signature bad been affixed to a petition against the Catholic claims, he published a letter in the newspapers, stating that the petition was laid before him in a darkened room when he was just recovering from a typhus fever, and that he bad signed it on the assurance that it had been drawn by Dr. Magee, and that it merely frayed the protection of the rights of the Church. Sir R. PEEL said tbat the Hon. and Learned Gentle man should have bad some' ground for knowing that he was acquainted with this fact befote he charged him with want of candour. Mr. O'CONNELL replied that the facts he had stated had been published in the newspapers. Sir R. PEEL did not think he was hound to know or recollect all that the newspapers contained. The petition had been put in his band in the course of the evening, and if he bad recollected what the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had mentioned, he would not have omitted to state it.—(Hesr.) After a few words from Mr.O'CoNNELL, Sir R. INcus, and Mr. FINN, the amendment was negatived without a division, and some merely verbal amendments were agreed to. On the question that the Bill do pass, . , Mr. LEFROY rose amidst cries of " Oh, oh," and eo touch noise prevailed in the House, that it was with diffi culty even a few detached sentences cou'd be caught of what fell from him. He objected to any interference with the rights of the present proprietors of church property, as a proceeding contrary to the most obvious principles of justice. An HoN. MEMBER, said that no case had been made out for so sweeping a measure as the removal of ten Bishops, and he altogether objected to the measure as against the first principles of equitable legislation. Mr. T. GLADSTONE observed, that it had long been made a matter of accusation against the Church of Ire land that it bad not done all in its power to promote the cause of Protestantism, and that was accountA for on the ground of its inordinate wealth. Was it the only Church that had slumbered?—(Cheers.) Apostolic poverty was not necessarily connected with Apostolic effi ciency. True it was, that the Vaudois preserved in their valleys the faith of their forefathers; but was it quite certain that they could have succeeded in that object, had they not been assisted by the Church of England? The question now before them really was not a question of weahb or poverty, but whether the Church in Ireland might not be so far modified as more efficiently to advance the purposes of its original institution, by extending in every legitimate way the principles of Protestantism ? Looking to the future expansion of the Church of Inland, he was grieved to see the number of Bishops reduced, because they were a means to extend it, and when once reduced, it would be difficult to replace them. With re spect to , jestrpaess a, he was free to avow that he looked upon*, o pting. to his own opinion, but according to thstl,Ar iithOis Axi) Aft the pernianent property of the s, e • tiS choral, butt ?th taf an impost which ought to he raised If the chuck , opiht it necessary to levy it; and so ling as the - abaci eat recognised, it should be allowed the: means of providininfor its own expenses. As be .' ---- a i 7.: • ' ', ' '.; ..,, . ~.' ..,. wished to avoid anything like collision, and as liNd ti not consider vestry ce s s i n th e li g ht o f t h e permane pro perty of the cbtuch, he should support the concessions made upon that head. He had now adverted to the prin cipal points of the Bill; it contained many useful regiesa tions, and he hoped that it would produce the efffeas that were expected from it, and, above all, that it would have the effect of extending the Irish Church. Colonel EVANS had but one remark to make before he gave a vote up ,, n the Bill. The only reason Ministers gave for the withdrawal of the 147th clause was that they dreaded a collision with the other House, which fear did not apparently actuate them on a late occasion, when the affairs of Portugal were called in question. He would vote against the Bill. Mr. O'CONNELL said he had to consider whether he should vote for or against the Bill. It certainly contained one advantage—he meant its regulations with respect to vestry cess; but then he was obliged to recollect that the great principle was taken away, and that though the Bishops were reduced in number, the people were not by that relieved trom their burdens, and that was what the people of Ireland wanted. As the great prin ciple of relief was withdrawn from the Bill, he could not vote for it. Mr. HUME—Some Hon. Gentlemen said they voted for the Bill because it tended to extend the Irish Church ; now that was the very reason why he should like to see the Bill thrown out. Mr. STANLEY—The Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin is always taunting Ministers with the fault of never wishing to relieve the burdens of the people of Ire land, and he says that they are visiting that people with the evils of civil and religious persecution. Such a charge he need scarcely sty was unfounded. He was perfectly astonished that the Honourable and Learned Member should stand forward and assert that the Church of Ireland would continue to pay vestry cess, even under the proposed alteraions. He was equally sur prised that he should say that he voted against the Bill because Ministers had violated their promises. He would not repeat the statements of Ministers with respect to the principle said to be violated, any more than to say that that principle nev, r formed a part of the measure ; and that Ministers, over and over again, asserted that no such principle formed a part of their Bill. For that reason, he could not avoid contradicting any one who said that it did. The Hon. and Learned Member said the only valuable thing in the Bill was the clause about vestry cess, and that it was a gratuitous insult to reduce the Bishops, and apply the cess to the augmentation of small livings, and to the building of Protestant houses of worship. If, in saying that, the Hon. and Learned Member was the organ of the Irish C Itholics, all he could say was, that there was hut little of gratitude either in them or in their organ. Why did the Hon. Member vote against the Bill ? To encou rage others in another place to reject the measure. He had been told, he could not tell with what truth, that the Hon. Member had said that he should oppose the measure, in order to swell the minority, and, by so doing, encourage an opposition to the Bill in another quarter. He would caution Hon. Gentlemen, who had no view of creating collision and confusion, to beware of the traps laid for them by the Hon. and Learned Member.—(Hear.) He would advise them to reject an association and alliance that would not reflect credit on either party.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL believed that there was but one man in that House who would have made the assertion the Right Hon. Gentleman had just ma!e. The Right Hon. Gentleman says, that some one told him that I stated my opposition to the measure proceeded from a wish to cause a collision between the two Houses of Parliament. Ido not believe anybody told him so.—(Order, order.) At least if any body has, he has told him what is untrue. My vote would have a contrary effect to that attributed to it. Mr. D. W. HARVEV was sorry to see that, in dis cussing the Bill, so many personal a!tacks were continually being made. What had been said of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin cssuld ❑ot be true, as he had denied it.—(oll, and a laugh.) The present Bill was nothing like what the people expected trotn a reformed House of Commons, and mithing could be more ridiculous than the arguments of Ministers, who asserted, that al though the 147th clause—the vital clause—was with drawn, still its spirit was preserved. What he had to complain of chiefly was, that the Bi!1 which was then about to be passed, was not the same as the one that Ministers had introduced. With what delight did they and the country hail the announcement of the prin ciple, that Church property should be interfered with by the Legislature ! Yet that announcement was nullified by the abandonment of the 147th clause. The Bill added to the means of the Irish church, and what they had to expect from Ministers when they brought forward their measure of English church reform would be merely additional means to support it. The property of the church was most unequally distributed. and seven-eighths of the Irish people professed a different religion. Could peace be preserved by the present tne sure, and could Hon. Gentlemen take it as a set-off to the coercive measure? But if Ministers wished to preserve the church, they should not have meddled with it, but have maintained it in its integrity ; and if they wished to inoculate the Irish Catholics with Protestant principles, a very bad way was to put out so many lights by stran gling ten Bishops. Many gentlemen in the majority of that night would say, if questioned privately, that they voted for the Bill because they saw an imposing and stern front and aspect elsewhere, that they wished to avoid all collision, and that Ministers were going on gradually, and that they would do more. But when are they to do more? When are they to be vigorous enough to bear the threatening aspect of another party ? It would be better to allow the whole thing to perish than to live in this sort of hope. By the present measure they were providing for churches, with but the parson and clerk to attend them. Before churches veere built, people should be found to frequent them. There should be no connexion between Church and State, for it only tended to mar re ligion. If they wished the Protestant religion to flourish, the Bishops should be turned out of the House of Lords. —(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The wicked should be called from their high places. The period was not far distant when an establishment more consistent with Christianity than the present would be established in Ireland. Lord ALTHORP was somewhat surprised at hearing the sentiments of the Hon. Gentleman ; for, if he did not mistake, the Hon. Gentleman had, on a former occasion, supported the Bid, and he did not conceive how that could have been consistently with the opinions the Hon. Gen tleman at present avowed. He could not compr& end how the Hon. Gentleman could ever have supported the Bill, if he had entertained his present sentiments. To-night the Hon. Gentleman had spoken out, and fairly said, that he did not want a Church Establishment at all. With such sentiments it was impossible for that or any other Bill pro posed by the Ministers to satisfy the gentleman. The Hon. Gentleman would certainly, if be could, destroy all church establishments. It was most extraordinary, if the Hon. Gentleman had ever been favoured to the Bill, that the omission of the 147th clause from it should have wrought such a change in the Hon. Gentleman's opinions. He did not suppose that the omission of the clause could have made any change in the opinion of the Hoe. Gentle man. He saw that, on this occasion, the Government was to be opposed by the gentlemen of both extremes—by those who thought that the Parliament had no right to meddle with the Church at all, and those who thought that the present measure did not go far enough. The Government was now to be opposed both by those who, like the Hon. Baronet the Member for Oxford, objected to all reform of the Church, and those who, like the Hon. Gentleman, desire to push that reform a great deal further than the Ministers. The parties who were entirely opposed to each other would unite to vote against this Bill. That was, be thought, not a bad compliment to the course the Ministers had adopted. They bad displeased both parties, wiich showed th at t h e measure was neither imprudent nor unwise, and he hoped that the majority of the House would support the Bill. —(Cheers, and cries of " Question.") Mr. FITZGERALD declared that he felt it his duty to his constituents to vote for the Bill.--(Cries of ".Ques tion," and " Divide.") The House divided on the question that the Bill do pass— Some discussion took place during our exclusion, when ;he House divided, and the numbers appeared— Ayes '274 Noes 94 Majority —lBO The Bill was accordingly passed. ABOLITION OF SLAVERY. Oa re-entering the gallery, we found Mr. STANLEY on his legs, explaining, that as the Bill for the Abolition of Slavery was not quite r ea d y , and as there were objec tions on both sides to reading it a second time so soon, he proposed to give precedence to his Right, H on . F r i en d t h e President o f the East r Indio the Board of Co ntrol , who would bring forwardill on Wed nes d ay. He should fix the second reading of the Slavery Abolition Bill for Monday next, on the understanding that if the East India Bill was not then completed, the Slavery Bill should be further postponed. SEA APPRENTICESHIPS. Mr. HERBERT CURTEIS moved the third reading of the Sea Apprenticeships Bill. Mr. HODGES moved an amendment, that it be read a third time that day six months. On this question the gallery was cleared for a division. For the third reading .. - Against it 6l Majority for the third reading —2O On our readmission we found Lord G. BENTINCK moving, as an amendment, that " Apprentice in the Sea Service" should be de fined as a person apprenticed to the owner of a ship or vessel, or to a householder using or exercis;ng the trade of the seas, by fishing or otherwise—and also by means of being employed in inland navigation as an apprentice. Lord GEORGE LENNOX opposed the amendment. He feared the Bill as it now stood would not pass the other House, and he was certain that with such an amen d ment it would not be agreed to. Lord G. SOMERSET thought the House should have further information on the subject before they passed an Act which would alter the whole law of settlement. Mr. HALL DARE supported the amendment. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed it, and con tended that such an amendment could not with propriety be introduced in the Bill. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but none took place, and the amendment was withdrawn. On our readmission we found Sir R. PEEL contending the Bill interfered too exten sively with the present law of settlement. After a few words from Mr. Hall Dare, Mr. Lloyd, Lord G. Lennox, and Sir Robert Peel, the Bill passed. VAGRANTS BILL. The order of the day for the third reading of this Bill having been read, Mr. O'Costxam. and Mr. KENNEDY expressed their wish that the measure should be posoponed. Mr. PALMER said the object of the Bill was to pro vide for the transmission of the vagrants to their native countries, and to throw the expense more equally on the counties of England. The Bill had been discussed in Committee and unanimously agreed to. Mr. KENNEDY said there was no Scotch Member on the Committee, therefore it was highly desirable to postpone it. The Bill interfered with the law of settlement. After a few words from Mr. E. DAVISON, Lord G. SOMERSET said he would not oppose the second reading, but would reserve to himself the right of proposing any amendments in the future stages of the Bill. He objected that the cost of the transmission of vagrants should be defrayed at the public expense, instead of that of the counties themselves. Mr. O'CONNELL was of opinion that many parts of the Bill were objectionable, and he thought, therefore, that the best course would be to postpone it. Mr. ESTCOURT advocated the Bill, arguing that any alterations which might be necessary could be made in the subsequent stages. After a desultory conversation, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. TITHE COMMUTATION BILL. Lord ALTHORP, in moving the second reading of the Tithe Commutation Bill, stated that it was the in tention of Government to withdraw the compulsory clauses, and he hoped that the House would agree to allow the Bill to be read a second time pro forma, in order that the requisite alterations might be made in Committee. Colonel DA'VIES thought the Bill ought not to be pressed forward by Government during the present session. Toe Bill was then read a second time. ROYAL BURGHS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD ADVOCATE moved the third reading of this Bill. Mr. GILLON moved that, instead of the words " ten pounds" the words " five pounds and upwards" should be inserted. Mr. HUME seconded the amendment. After a few words from Mr. GILLON, the LORD VOCATE, and Mr. OSWALD, Mr. ROBERT STEUART said, that having in the Committee up stairs proposed the amendment now sug gested by his Hon. Friend, which was negatived without a division, and having voted for the motion of the Member for Peebles on a former occasion, be wished to state why he should oppose the present motion. The question had been twice fully discussed, and twice it had been nega tived, and every person must be well aware of that which the Lord Advocate had told them, that if this motion was carried, the Bill must be lost. Although be had already shown his wish to adopt the principle of the Hon. Gen tleman's motion, so long as it was practicable to adapt it to the Bill, to throw the Bill out altogether would be too great an evil to risk at this period of the Session ; and as he could not consent to haeard the fate of the Bill to which the country so anxiously looked, he should reluc tantly vote against the motion. The LORD ADVOCATE objected to the proposed alteration, on the grouud that it would render a new sys tem of registration necessary. It was totally inconsistent with the present system. The gallery was then cleared for a division, when there appeared— For the third reading Against it 36 Majority The Bill was then read a third time ind passed. The Burghs Police (Scotland) Bill was read a third time ; after which amendments were made, and the Bill passed. The Burghs Magistrates' (Scotland) Bill was read a third time, clause added, amendments made, and the Bill passed. LIVERPOOL. Mr. WARBURTON moved, as the only means of bringing the inquiries of the Liverpool Election Com mittee to a close in the present session, that the number of five Members of the Committee should constitute a quorum. Lord SANDON contended that the number of five was insufficient to du justice in a question of so much im•• portance, and moved, as an amendment, that the quorum should consist of eight Members. After considerable discussion, the House divided— For the original motion B5 For the amendment 2B Majority —67 Adjourned at half-past three o'clock this morning. The Duke de CAZES, who was formerly Am.. bassador here for a short period from Louts XVIII., is again spoken of in the diplomatic circles, as the probable successor of Prince TALLEYRAND, but it is thought that the former statesman aspires to a portefeuille in the pre sent Cabinet. It is expected that should the treaty of the 22d May be carried into effect, the venerable Plenipoten tiary of the King of the FRENCH Will leave England in October or November. A valuable parcel by the steam-boat from Amsterdam, containing bonds and inscriptions of foreign stock, and addressed to a mercantile house in the City, was opened this morning at the Custom-house, and de livered to the owner with all the seals broken, and exposed consequently to depredation by any hand through which it might previously pas', without any means of fixing with certainty on the depredator. This has been corn plained of, and with justice, as an outrage on private property, which ought not to pass without notice. The object of it, which has not yet been exactly ascertained, seems to have been either that of searching for contraband goods on the part of the Custom-house, or for letters and newspapers by the agents of the Foreign Post-office. In either case, respect to private rights and private property of the immense value which is constantly passing in this way between London and the Continent should have led the public functionaries, whoever they were, to affix their own seal, so that it might be known, in case of loss, where to apply. The parcel referred to contained, within and without, more than twenty seals, all of which were broken. Times. Mr. STEELE.—GOVERNMENT PROSECU TION..—Mr. STEELE has given instructions to his soli citor, who is going to London, to have Crown summonses served on Lord GREY, Lord BROUGHAAI, Lord OSSORY, Loid ALTHORP, Lord PLUNIKET, Sir W. GOSSET, Mr. STANLEY, the Secretary to the Birmingham Political Union, Lord GREY'S private secretary, &c. &c., as wit nesses whom he intends to examine at the ensuing Kil kenny Assizes. He will also require their attendance in Limerick (with the exception of Lord Ossofty) if the bills should be found by the Limerick Grand Jury. Mr. STEELE will defend himself both in Kilkenny and Limerick without counsel. —Dublin Morning Register. EITENSIVE FORGERIES ON THE BANE OF ENGLAND.-51r. THOMAS, the superintendent, has recently been actively and successfully engaged in tracing out and detecting the issue of a great number of forged bank notes, varying in amount from 101. to 5001, which it appears have been passed off at gambling houses in the bustle of play, and which at the moment have escaped detection. These notes, it would seem, have been manu factured for this express purpose, and is the result of a plan originally suggested by the celebrated COSTER. Mr. THomAs has sanguine hopes of being able to detect the channels through which these frauds have been committed. As the speculation has been simultaneously carried into effect in different parts of the country at the same time, there is no knowing the extent to which this fictitious paper has been circulated. It will, at all events, have the effect of rendering both the keepers of the tables and the wooers of fortune in this way, not alone to be careful of the quality of the paper which passes through their hands, but, where they can, to require gold, instead of its flimsy substitute.

The adjourned sessions, to which we alluded on the 20th ult., was held yesterday at Hammersmith, for the consideration of an application made by the p Irish of Fulham to be relieved from the statute duty exacted by the metropolitan trustees for the maintenance of ,their roads, at which Sir John Scott Lillie presided as Chair man. It was alleged on behalf of the parish in question, that their highway rates had been considerably increased within the last few years, and an application was ac cordingly made to the magistrates acting for the Kensing ton division for relief from the statute duty exacted by the metropolitan commissioners. The magistrates having called upon those commissioners for returns of their annual receipts and expenditure, in order to ascertain how far this application could be complied with, with out endangering the moneys advanced upon the credit of the tolls, it appeared from those returns that their surplus revenues amounted to several thousands of pounds per annum. The parish of Fulham was consequently relieved from their usual payment of statute duty, which was the first decision of this nature that has taken place since the establishment of the metropolitan trust. The following is a copy of the returns produced before the bench, and which could not previously be known to the public, inasmuch as a clause appears to have been introduced into the Metropolitan Act of Parliament, whereby the commissioners of these roads have been re lieved from the inconvenience of lodging the annual ac count of their receipts and expenditure with the clerk of the peace for the county, as all other turnpike trusts are obliged to do, from whence it will appear that the decision of the magistrates could not have been otherwise than in favour of the complainants. r i ,ERTRACTED PROM TUE ACCOUNTS OS TIE TRUSTEES 01 THE METROPOLITAN ROADS.

MAXIMS and HINTS for an ANGLER. LONDON. JOHN MURRAY. 1833. SALTER' S ANGLER'S GUIDE. WICKSTED, OLD COMPTON STREET, SOHO-SQUARE. There is no sort of amusement in which theory and practice are so utterly at variance as in angling. They differ as much as if they were fashionable man and wife. In theory angling is one of the most enchanting sports possible; we associate it with a thousand agreeable and pic turesque ideas—the fresh breeze, the green, sunny meadows, with a translucent stream wind ing like a silver thread through them ; cows (which Paul Potter turns to such account, and which tell so well in all landscapes) standing knee deep under a willow, in some broad, shal low ford : boys and girls, perhaps rolling among hay-cocks ; the mellow, distant uplands ; and in the fore-ground, a cottage with a mill haul by, at whose open lattice, where a blackbird sings in a wicker cage, sits some jolly angler quaffing a glass of home-brewed, by way of recotnpence for his last hour's exploits, while a fine trout, or pike, or salmon lies gasping in the basket at his feet. Such is the agreeable nature of the associations which most novices mix up with angling. But it is one thing to read about the sport in the fascinating pages of old Isaac Walton, and another to be practi cally acquainted with it. Unless a man have a world of patience ; a perseverance that nothing can subdue ; a constitution that no fatigues can impair ; and above all, an enthusiasm that no annoyances can quench ;—unless a man possess each and all of these qualifications, he will find angling the most tedious, thankless amusement possible, insipid as Lord Ellenborough's fiercest phillippics, and dull as Lord Londonderry's brightest jokes. Dr. Johnson, who, we suspect, never knew what it was to hook a spanking trout, has de fined angling as a stick and a string, with a worm at one end and a fool at the other. We cannot hold with this ultra definition—though there is much truth in it—for some of the greatest and best men we ever had were anglers. Paley was an angler (and it must have been an edifying spectacle to see the Rev. Author of the " Evi dences of the Christian Religion" bobbing in his clerical wig, and with spectacles on that knob which he called a nose, for gudgeon) ; Walton, Cotton, Sir J. Hawkins, and Charles Fox were anglers ; so were Mackenzie and Walter Scott, and so are James Hogg and Professor Wilson. It is, therefore, a classical sport, if it have no other recommendation. Nevertheless, we can conceive nothing so de plorable as the situation of a man who turns " Piscator " wholly on the strength of what he has read about it. His active fancy will be sure to mislead him. Like the sons of Zebedee, he will " toil all day and catch nothing" (unless it be a cold or a sore throat), and get no bite, but a gnat-bite. His green sunny meadows will bog him up to the ankle ; his fine day will wet him through to the skin ; of the picturesque cattle which he read of with such delight in old Isaac's pages, one, being a bull, will make a point of running at him, and peradventure driv ing him right into the middle of " the purling stream " and so spoiling his sport for the day, by throwing all the fish into hysterics ; where he looked for a cottage and a glass of home-brewed, he will find only a beer-shop kept by a radical as sour as his liquor ; and possibly, by way of wind-up to the day's enjoyment, may be taken up for a trespass on some litigious farmer's lands, and being a stranger to the district, and looking uncommonly like a vagabond by reason of his being wet through, half-starved, yellow with spleen, wasted with fatigue, and one mass of mud from head to foot, be compelled to put in bail for his appearance at the next quarter sessions 1 These, together with other miscellaneous mise ries—such as hooking the calf of one's own leg in an abortive attempt to throw a fly genteelly ; hauling up a huge weed in mistake for a trout ; and being annoyed by the splash of a water-rat, at the very moment that a fine fish was just bolting one's bait—are a few among the hosts of ' annoyances which the rash novice, whom the charms of its theory have induced to become an angler, must make up his mind to encounter. But there is a more serious annoyance still, to which Mr. Salter, though, like all enthusiastic Piscators, he is bent only on exhibiting the poetic side of angling, has nevertheless felt himself' bound to advert. In his " Angler's Guide" (p. 360) he gives special " directions for the recovery of drowned persons"—evidently think ing it far from improbable that a gentleman who goes out to fish, may terminate his day's sport by being fished up himself! Again, in p. 255, he presents us with a fine half-length of a fero cious bull, who is standing beside a hedge, near a stream—an apposite embellishment, by which he would delicately insinuate, that if angling has its pleasures it has also its hazards, its prose as well as its poetry, of which a toss by a mad bull is a delectable specimen. On the natural history of river fish, Mr. Salter's details are singularly copious and minute. Speak ing of pike, he says (on the authority of others) that they " will grow to the amazing size of a hundred and fifty pounds or more." A friend of ours once got himself into a whimsical pre dicament by insisting on this very theory. Being engaged to contribute an Essay on Angling to a well-known Encyclopedia, and being something of an ignoramus, he was rash enough to in sert an anecdote extracted from a note to an old edition of Isaac Walton, descriptive of a pike which was caught by the parish clerk, in a pool near Lilleshall lime-works, and weighed upwards of a hundred and seventy-five pounds ! Luckily, just as the article was going to press, it caught the Reader's eye, who, being a veteran in the art, hurried off in an agony of apprehension to expostulate with the luckless author. " This story must never be published, Sir : it will ruin the whole concern. What 1 catch a pike of a hundred and seventy-five pounds weight ? My God, Sir, lie must have been a shark, only to be caught with a round of beef, and hauled up by a steam-engine. Take my word for it, Sir, there never was such a fish, and what's more, there never will be." The aneccbte was accord' ingly cancelled, though the_ Reader's fears or! verified notwithstanding, for the Encyclopteal! soon aftertvards became defunct, after havu!l broken the hearts of three books:Hers. Possibl: our friend's Essay hastened its dssolution. On looki ng more c l ose l y i rto M r .

" pike feed much on gudgeons." So do the Dundasel and Bathursts, as the late Lord Liverpool whom they picked to the bane, can testify'' Again, " pikes have a thickiah head." So have the Dundases and Bathursts. Moreover, pike!, are inordinately ravenous, though at certain seasons they will refuse the choicest bait the angler can select ; and if it be placed so close as to touch their noses, they will not take iG but if you persevere in placing or drawing the bait to them, they will plunge away in ang er. How illustrative this of Dundas and Bathurs finesse ! They, too, though " inordinately rs! venous," yet in certain seasons, when mi ner tnical reform principles happen to be in fashion with the community, will make a fine, a drof show of disinterestedness, refuse even the choicest sinecure that a Tory Minister can 00 them, and, if he perseveres in tempting then'' , will talk of their consciences, and " plunge away in anger," till things become settled a little, and they can return to their old habits with impunity. Mr. Salter further observes, " pikes that weigh ten pounds , when in full health and vigour, would not weigh rnore than seven or eight while out of season or condition." Just the case with the Dundases and Bathursts, who thrive prodigiously when " in full health and vigour" on the Tres' sury Bench, but fall away to a painful d e gree when out of season or condition," on the Opposition side of the House. We verily be' lieve Lord Ellenborough weighs a dozen pounds less than when his party was in power, and hits" self at the head of the India Board ! „ a reji K. 01 , sk Stork .. gP O ' .
