EDITOti-1- - As ANoLicAxus has directed your attention •to the 46 Jesuitical practices" of a Paper, which, with him, I believe, inayOn gene ral, be k‘ sound and well principled," allow me to notice its - violence and intemperance on the subject of Naples,.in the hope that you will ex tend the same moderate, dignitfed, and manly reproof to it, which you lately bestowed on the Editor of a certain Weekly Paper: If.the-Editor of the Morning Paper alluded to is in possession of exclusive iuformatiou which • enables him to know that the Revolution at Naples has been effected by 64 traitors," " re bels," and ". miscreants," in opposition to the Wishes of the people, and from motives of hatred and contempt for Royalty, why .does he not disclose it, and dispel the delu sion which generally prevails, and which con tinued accounts of the cordiality subsisting be tween the Duke of CALABRIA, and the Neapoli-, tan Parliament, their moderation, and particu larly their determination not to interfere in the Concerns of neighbouring states, all tend to per petuate and confirm ? Till this exclusive informa tion is disclosed, I shall, for one,. take leave to believe., that " the traitors arid rebels;" of whom Such frequent mention is made in the New' Times, are mere phantoms raised by the Editor tosuit some particular purpose, and to favor the designs of the Holy Mliancers. . For my own part I have generally observed, that those men are the most violent and intem perate in their language who are advocates of a bad cause, and of principles not founded on reason or good sense, because as their arguments can receive no support from truth, they must be maintained by desperate substitutes, of which virulence and invective are those most commonly adoptee. It would ill become me to pursue the conduct which I reprobate i❑ others. I shall, therefore, having drawn your attention to that of the above mentioned Paper, abstain from offering further observation, as I am sure you will visit it with such portion of your editorial censure as You may conceive equal to its demerits. Broukces, 12th March. MODERATOR. AN OLD STORY. . A. Shepherd once found considerable difficulty in forming and preserving his flock from the Wolves. At length he succeeded in enclosing a good pasture, .and in securing a good and serviceable paling, .to o high for the wolves to jump over, but over which they might peep, nay even through a cre vice here and there, though the paling was too strong to be• broken by force. The wolves, finding all ingress impossible, now crouched their tails, pursed up their lips to hide their • fangs; and drew up their Claws; peti tioning the Shepherd, at the same time, to. let them into the fold ; not, indeed, to kill their own mutton- oh no !—but just to enjoy the pasture as the sheep did. The Shepherd, 'at first, was reso .. Jute denial ; but, finally, honest soul ! consent ed on condition of their being muzzled! A new invented muzzle was accordingly got up . as a pat , tern, with tzoentS strops ; muzzles were made and fitted on ; and thee Wolves were admitted,. only • b egging permission to declare, upon their con sciences, that mutton is mutton, and that grass is grass, but still that, if, they pleased, they might c onsider mutton to be grass, and grass to be mutt t ell, upon the authority of that text which says all flesh is grass." They had not been long in the fold, however, .s'Olen 'one of them found the twentieth strap to touch him in a sore place, and the Shepherd, at, request, - and full assurance that the other nineteen straps held him sufficiently tight, con sented to'take it off. This indulgence the others, of course, asked and received : when shortly af terwards the nineteenth strap was found to be both troublesome and " useless," and removed Alicordinf. , -,ly.—'Phis was soya the fate of the eighteenth, seventeenth, &c., on to the tenth.— . "Wow," said the Wolves, " take off but that strap sand we shall be contented .This was done, to their perfect content; for no seDner was it cut, than with the help of each other's paws, they cast off the remaining straps, and th e muzzles dropped off in a moment. • The, silly Shepherd exclaimed," La ! who'd have thought it"—and began to prepare new strap s for the muzzles ; but, before he could fit them on again, the wives. hal dined !! ! - - iESOP.

To the curious in natural history it will be in teresting to learn that four or five specimens of °ne of our rarest British fishes. have been cast on shore this last year, at different times, on the sand and rocks between Whitburn and South Shields. The fish is named by authors, the Tooth Gilt (Sparus Raji of Donovan, Sp. Niger of Turton.) It was first described by Mr. Ray, fro m a specimen cast on shore at the mouth of the Tees, in 1681 ; and for a 'century after is not known to have been again seen. Other spe-' • "Cimens are, however, since then recorded. One 'singularity of the fish is learnt from these late 'Specimens, which perhaps was not known before any collector, viz—the exquisite quality of the road, both as to flavour and firnmess. It is a very Rat fish, but compressed vertically, with a large eye. Our ingenious neighbour, Mr. Bewick, has made a correct drawing from one specimen, which probably will be published, if he should -extendhis ' Aorks on natural history to the department of fishes. This specimen is in length r- inches "' 4 7 cast breadth 71 thickness 2 4 ', Courant.) ROMAN, CATHOLICS. We deeM iL proper to subjoin the 37th Article of the. Church of England, in order that our Readers map see laiw far the Roman Catholics of England profess to acknowledge the Ecclesiasti c 4 Power of the King. The Irish Catholics have not acceded even to that Declaration as pre ferred by the English :--- " XXXVII.-OF THE CIVIL -MAGISTRATES. ": The Majesty hath the chief power in this Realm of England, and other his dominions; unto whom the chief govern ment of all estates of this Realm, 'whether they be ecclesiastical 'or civil, in all causes doth appertain ; and is not, nor ought to be, subject to any foreign jurisdiction. ' • " Where we attribute to the King's Majesty, the chief go vernment, by which titles we understand the minds of some slanderous fol 6 to be offended, we give not our Princes the mi-. nistering either of God's Word, or'of the SaCramenta the which thing the Injunctions also lately set forth by Elizabeth our Queen, do most plainly testify ; but that only prerogative; which we see to have been given always to all godly Princes in holyscriptui•es by God himself ; that is, that they should rule all estates and degrcei committed to their charge by God, 'whe ther they be ecclesiastical or temp Oral; and restrain with the civil sword the stubborn and - evil doers. • " The Bishep of Rome hath no jurisilictiit in this Realm of Engl4ad. -" The Laws of the Realm may, punish ChriStian men wit] death for heinous and grievous Offences.

The hiimble' Petition ' of the undersigned Freeholders and In. : habitants of the County of Leicester, resident within the Deaneries of Gartree, Sparkenhoe, Goscott and Frainland, within the Arclideaconry of Leicestef., Sheweth,---That your Petitioners_ view with great apprehen sion and alarm, the repeated exertions made by the Roman Ca tholic Inhabitants of the United Kingdom,, to obtain a repeal of certain restrictive Statutes, which were enacted by Parliament in fanner periods, to gnard againt the admission of Roman Catholic power and ascendancy in this Protestant State. That your Petitioners being fully persuaded that the admis- Sion and concession of such claims would be attended with im minent danger to our Protestant Country, and that the Mem bers of .the Church of Rome have had already conceded to them every privilege which can safely be given, and are in the enjoyment o r complete religious toleration, earnestly pray that no further concessions may be granted, and that your Honour able House will continue inviolate those Laws which have hi therto encircled a Protestant Throne with Protestant Parlia ments and Protestant Advisers, and which were ever regarded by our Progenitors as the " Bulwarks of our Constitution:' And•your Petitioners shall ever pray, &c.

CAUTION' TO MARlN'ERS.—Extract of a•Letter from Mr. J. Johnson, Master of the Pilots, at Memel, to Mr. William Richardson, N. P. North Shields, dated Feb. 3,1821. L-" By this you will be informed of the present state of our bar, and access to the harbour. The. last soundings; on the 211th ult. gave 14 feet, or .nearly so. The present bar may literally be termed a new one, as the late liar navigated by ships in De cember, 1320, by a westerly gale, was done away, and the pre sent one found in a different situation : that it will have any per manency, time only can prove. In case of any changes, or al terations that may take place, relative to the bar, Commanders of ships must, in passing the Sound, ever refer to the more re cent accounts to behad there. The channel, or passage into the harbour, is at present straight and di rec t with the beacons in one, S.E. by E. and N.W. by W. by the ordinary ship's corn pass ; black buoys on the starboard, and a white bud) , and white flags on the larboard side, in coming in, and, as custOmary, a conspicuous red flag used for in v iti ng ships to run for the har bour, as also to ways them either easterly or Westerly, when in the channel, Six. Such flag is only necessary when the pilots cannot get out. As in the spring and fall rapid currents gene rally take place great care must be taken in scant wind s , par ticularly froni the southward and westward, and the sea high, when a ship perhaps may pass the bar, the buoys, and flags, with safety,- and afterwards tall into serious danger at the Light house Point, where the course at once alters from a S. E. by E. to a south ; or S. by E. one, to come up the harbour to the Ballast Quay, &c." COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE.- On Monday this Committee re-assembled, at one o'clock, Mr. Goocu taking the - Chair. There were then 10 Members present ; several other Members after wards arrived. Lord CASTLEREAGLI was seated next to-the Chairman. They immediately pro ceeded to determine the course that should be pursued in promoting those inquiries committed to their charge by the House of Commons., After various suggestions, and some discussion, it was resolved that they should hear the evidence that the parties might be prepared to adduce in sup port of the allegations of the Petition.----This it►- quiry is to constitute the first branch of the Com mittee's labours. As was previously stated, the Committee, on Friday, did not issue any orders for the attendance of witnesses; and when it was determined how the Committee should di rect the investigations,- they inquired whether any persons were in attendance to support the leading prayer of the several Petitions. Several of the owners and occupiers of land, who had been instrumental in forwarding Petitions to Par liament, were again in attendance. Mr. R. C. Harvey, of Norfolk, was called in. He under went an extended examination, occupying the Committee during the whole of the remainder of the sitting.---His evidence went to illustrate the extent of reduction that h c ad taken place in the farmer's profits, he alleging that it was from '2O to 30 per cent.; and in support of .his declara tions, he brought with him and laid before the Committee his accounts and books for the last 14 years. Several of the documents were handed in, and ordered to constitute part of this witness's evidence. P 0 E T It r. BALLAD.-- , (EDWIN.)

' Bad never fortune's adverzepowu, illy earliest days opinest; . 3 I ne'er had knoNyri that blissful hour ; By mild affection blest, When sorrow claimed not m_r„ the si g h Which spoke the soul's ford treasure ; For half the tear that clew'd tie eye, Was sanctified to pleasure. When zephyrs of the shady tve, That freshened o'er the citt, Could not more healthful fregrance breathe,' Or blow a balmier gale, Than visited the realms of thought, To know that thou went near ; To know thee mine—entire.—unhought, And innocent as dear. Wild and fantastically strange, The mind will sometimes roam; And find throUgh all creation's range, Or picture thare a hornc. - - So absolute was fancy's law, So dear thou art to me 'hat all I thought, and felt, and saw, Still bore‘some taste of thee. For all the beauties of a scene, ' So free from strife and storm ; Were mild and placid as thy mien, And graceful as thy form Thy woes, like yon dark cloud, ire given, That rests along the sky; But gentle as that azure Heaven,. The bosom where they lie. 'TiS sweet—to mark the magic grace That swells in hill and bower ; The fairy lineaments to trace Of tree, and sky, and tower ; While, mellowed in the distant view, The varied objects fade ; And every form, and every hue, .commingle in the glade ; • Most sweet—,when opening shades supply A MOMENTARY glance : When o'er the sinking vale,_ the eye Sees silvery vapours dance ; And here, e'en here, I think of thee, And trace the emblem still ; The stamp and fair proportions see Of sky, and vale, and hill. All centered in that nameless charm, When o'er thy features play, The SHADOWS of emotions warm, And pure affection's ray ; 'Tis fancy all ! but still 'tis so._ Then let me hold the cheat ; Nor bid the dear delusion go y Fantastically sweet ! For there is nought in hall, or bower, Of good, or mild,, or pure : In field, in forest, or in flower ; But doth with thee endure. Come then the woes life,'S hours impart ! I will not bid them flee ; • Welcome each sorrow to my heart ! 'Twas sorrow gave me thee. J. D. REGISTER OF FASHION. FASHIONABLE PARTIES.

REvoLurloNs.—The ,celebrated Goethe haS illustrated the abuse of revolutionary changes by the following ingenious "apologise, entitled, The Necromancer's Ser6ant and the Broom stick :—" The servant of a magician happens to overhear his, master muttering in a low voice some . magic . Words,. by virtue of. "which he compels the services of a broomstick. The servant recollects them without his master's , know ledge‘, and in, the absence of the magician; he commatids the btoomstiCk to fetch water from the ricer for the, purpose of, washing the house. The stick s e ts off iMmediately, and returns bring-' ing a pail of water, then a second, a third, and so on, without stopping. The servant at length wished to restrain its zeal, but -he could not remember the necessary words for that purpoSe. The broomstick, faithful to its duty, goes and returns with fresh pailsful, and brings so much that the house seems in danger or being flooded. The servant, in a great rage, seizes an axe, and cuts the broomstick in two ; then the pieces become two servants instead of one; they go to fetch more water, and empty it in the rooms with greater zeal than ever. In vain the servant complains, in vain he abuses the two stupid pieces of wood ; they continue their journies, as if nothing was the matter, and the house would have been destroyed by the water, if the. master had not arrived in time to rescue his servant from the consequences of his ridiculous presumption."—Let the Advoc'ates for a Revolution draw the inferenge. RENEWING A PaomisE.----A late Noble Lord, who was sparing of money and lavish of promises, had given his note to a gentleman for a consider able sum he owed him ; it had been long due, and the Peer• never failed, when he met him, to make a handsome apology. Tired with promises that were never intended to be realised, the cre ditor one day, in answer to a new promise, said he had no doubt of his Lordship's honour, and that he would pay it at the time he then fixed ; " but added'he, " in the mean time, as this 'note is al most worn out, I should be glad if your Lordship would take it up, and give me one upon parch ment." The Peer being a man of wit, could net stand the severity of the rebuke, but paid the money almost immediately. FONTENELLE.-Ttre Abbe Reignier, Secretary of the - French Academy, one day made a collec tion in his hat of one pistole froth every member; to defray the current expences. The Abbe did not observe that the President, Who was a ver,y avaricious man, had put his pistole into his hat, and presented it to him a second time. " I have given already," said he. " I bt!lieve it," said the Abbe,- " but I•did not see it." " And I," rejoined FONTENELLE, who was at hi..t side, " saw it, but did not believe it." .ANECDOTE OP THE.

January, kit for a certainty never did ;we send, so many, lean cattle to the fat market. Sheep have seldom paid better for turnip feeding; 10s., lbs., and 1-4 s. have been realized of profit on each sheep. The dealers however who buy for the -Edinburgh and Glasgow markets have suffered a loss on their late purchases, from a-depression of price at the Bughts ; this fall is• attributed to too large a --number being brought eut.• The grain markets ,have , kept very steady. Meal was 55 shillings at Lanark, during the month of January.; a great_ quantity of- it was bought for laying up, Iviach will come 'to market if a small profit . offers. A considerable bulk remains in the stock yard, so that little expectations are entertained of high .prices : butter is .14.-a-polind. Thus we have prices- as as: they were: thirty years ago,. with more' -than- double - rent. -and taxes; so that the farmers can see little-chance of paying their rents even Where skilVand industry are exerted to the utmost. It is-, however, a good thing that every class of men ere not suffering.
