Balcomb's ship-yard, Frindsbury. This beautiful vessel, on Sunday, had a partial trial of her powers. She started a little after ten o'clock, with a great number of persons on board her. She went round the Nore, and without being put to the stretch of her powers, returned to Frindsbury a little before four o'clock in the afternoon, going at eie rate of ten miles an hour.—(lrvin.) A Correspondent is surprized that the Port of Ilythe has not sent in its claim to send two Barons to support the Canopy at the Coronation, agreeable to ancient custom, and that no Meet ing has been convened by the Mayor and Corporation to take the matter into consideration.—(lbid.) On Whit Monday, the several Benefit Societies of Maidstone, according to annual custom, - met to celebrate their Anniversary. The town at an early hour presented a gay and animated scene, and as the hour of Divine Service approached, the streets became thronged with the inhabitants and visitors from the neihbourhood. At 10 o'clock the Societies, six in number, assembled in the High-street with their colours and bands of, music, and after parading the street proceeded to Church in the greatest order. Shortly ater the doors were opened the Church in every part was crowded to excess. The Reverend Mr. Mil ler 'read the Prayers, and the Choir of Singers from Otham sang several Anthems in pretty style. The Reverend T. B. Cole delivered an excellent and apopriate discourse, from 13th chapter of Hebrews, Ist verse, " L ET nROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE." The Reverend Gentleman with all that feel ing and pathos with which he is so eminently gifted, infused into the soul of his auditors, the excellence of poisessing and exercising those greatest of all virtues, Brotherly Love and Charity. At the conclusion of the service the Societies paraded the streets, and afterwards repaired to their respective club houses, where dinners were provided for the occasion, and the • day was spent with the greatest harmony . and good will. The number of members in the different societies, enumerates 1272 ; and the money which has been paid to afflicted members, dur ing the past year, amounts to 16051. 2s. 2d. Sir GEORGE BEAUMONT, Bart has reduced- IA Rents £2O per cent. ; and the Rector has followed the kind example of his Patron, and reduced the commutation for Tythes, in the same proportion.—Sir CHARLES HASTINGS has intimated to his Tenants, that he shall return £2O per cent. on his Lady day Rents, usually paid at Midsuminer.—(Leicester Journal.) We are happy to say, that the silk-weaving trade in Sudbury is very much increased within the last three years, during which time two large factories have been'built, which employ a . great number of persons, which, in addition to the other factories/of crape, says, bunting, &c. the inhabitants are quite employed. The building of houses in that town within the last two Years has been many. Upwards of 30 houses have been built within that time. The foundation of a new street is now laid for 60 houses, to be built under that construction that they will admit of looms for weaving, &c. to be fixed in them.—(lpswich Journal.) POPULATION 'RETURNS !—A poor woman in Devonshire having been called-upon by the persons appointed to ascertain the population of the place where she resided, returned her fa mily six in number, viz-herself and husband, and four chil dren. Being questioned as to particulars, she seemed much confused ; which a neighbour observing, very kindly stepped forward to explain matters for her. " You must know, gen tlemen," modestly exclaimed the matronly dame, " her'th got three visible and one invisible; that is, her'th in the family way."-...A person at Plymouth stated his family consisted of two Guns and three Pistols ; to explain. which, it is perhaps necessary to state, the man's name was GUN, and his family consisted of himself, his wife, and three children. The funeral of the father, mother and child, which were kill ed by the recent accident near our Theatre, took place on Fri day, when upwards of three thousand persons were.present, and the Rev. J. Langley addressed them with much earnestness and:Sect on the subject of the fall of the Tower .of: Siloam -- Luke 13; ver. 3,4, 5. The sum collected in St. Chad's Parish, for the purpose of pl a cing - the surviving children in suitable situations, as they grow up, amounts to near 00 pounds, exclusive of several sums remitted. We presume that collections' will also be made by some benevolent persons . in other parishes. The Magistrates of the town, and the )314- nag& of the Theatre, have ordered the premises to be surveyed by Messrs. Bromfield, Birch, Straphen, and Oakley. From their. report it appears that the walls of the Theatre are secure ; that the part which gave way had been weakened by a chimney that had been cut nut of the wall, as stated in our last Paper ; and that, by erecting a new roof, the entire building will be .rendered sound and durable.—(Shrewsbury Chronicle, June 15.) DEST It U criv E FIRE.—We seldorri.had- to record a more afflicting calamity than that which occurred at Dunmore East, Waterford, by fire, at the concerns of Mr. NiT.m. CH E ItltY, publican, on Monday night last. Himself and family (consist ing of his wife, who is in an advanced state of pregnancy, his niece, mother in law, and eleven children) were in bed ; a ser vant girl alone remained.up. The servant boy had gone to the stable, which adjoins the house, with a lighted candle, and there, by his carelessness, the fire commenced, and he, terrified, ran away without giving the alarm ; in the stable there was a valu able horse. • The girl, finding a strong smell of smoke, alarmed her master, who ran to the stable, which was all in flames, and spreading to the roof of the dwelling,:-house, vhich was thatched ; but his utmost exertions could not force the poor animal to quit the stable, where it was burned to ashes. .Tne house was by-this time all on fire, and Mr. Cherry's exertions were turned to the safety of his family. llis wife had scarcely time to escape from the house, and in her terror had forgot a child of fourteen months old, in the bed. Mr. Cherry mounted a ladder that led to a nieee,,and ten children lay, and loft, where his mother in law, taking the old woman in his arms, ran to the trap-door, but some person having thoughtlessly taken away the ladder, lie had no alternative but to drop her to the floor below. In the' same manner he saved seven of his children ; the other three he could not find in- their beds, being unable to see by reason of the thick smoke and darkness ; and thinking they might have got down before, he leaped down, but they were no where to be found. He again ascended the ladder, and on the instant he got upon the loft, part of the blazing wood fell in, and by its light he saw his three little ones in a far corner, huddled together, with their faces to the wall, and he had barely time to snatch them from their' perilous situation when the whole fell in. The escape of the infant was most miraculous ; a foreman of the works at Dunmore, endeavouring to save some bed-clothes, penetrated to the bed , in doing which he was much . burned; he made a hasty bundle of them, and succeeded in bringing them out, when on laying them down, out roiled the sleeping infant unhurt ! An affecting incident occurred after all 'the - family had been so providenthdly extricated from the devouring; .element—Mrs. Cherry, standing naked on the road, and casting her eyes on her eleven children -naked also, piteously exclaimed, " Oh, my God, I had eight new suit's Made for 'my eight boys, and hoped to see them walk before me to players at Whitsunday, and now they lie naked on the road."—{Waterford Chronicle.) MR. EDITOR-At a period when all classes of the community either experience distress, or look forward with apprehension to its gradual encroach rifents it is lamentable to find that Parliarrient is likely to be prorogued without having devised a remedy for the evils which we are enduring, and even without affording us ground to -hope that those evils are capable of being materially alle viated by any future -legislative enactments. The little that has actually been done dnring this Session, has tended rather to change the form 'than to diminish the quantum of distress ; for I cannot regard in any. other light the operation of those measures of retrenchment- which the Go, vernment has adopted, rather, I should presume, in deference to public opinion, and the vitupera tive'speeches of the. Opposition, than from the dictates of their own judgment. lam far from thinking that the Government are insensible to the obligation of introducing every practicable degree of economy into the management of our affairs, or that •they would not, of their own ac cord, at fit and proper opportunities, have.re duced excessive establishments, and have .endea voured to simplify the mode of conducting 'the 'business of the State in all its' branches. But as the chief source of our distress is evidently trace able. to the want of employment .both for.capital and industry, I doubt whether, for the sake of reducing the weight of taxation in a degree that is scarcely perceptible, they would have judged it wise, under present circumstances, to aggra vate the evil above alluded to, by disbanding a portion of the army, and turning adrift some scores of poor clerks. Most assuredly the relief to the community at large is by no means com mensurate with the sufferings of those individuals whose interests are thus sacrificed, in.order to Conciliate the Country Gentlemen. Men who have families are utterly at a loss to 'know how to dispose of their sons. Many a pro mising youth (I speak feelingly) is, from thiS cause, either lounging at home, or contracting dissipated habits. Every avenue to civil occu pation is choked up with candidates for employ ment, and (as a lover- of peace I would say hap pily) the Navy and Army refuse any longer to carry off this apparent superabundance of active population. During the long period of warfare-in which our country was engaged, we fondly looked forward to a 'state of peace, for an acces sion of prosperity, of comfort, and of ease. Little did we suspect, when our victorious Gene ral dictated the terms of peace at the enemy's capital, that we should then begin to suffer pri vations exceeding any which we had experienced pending the most arduous contest which our his tory records. You will not suspect that I am an advocate. for profusion of expenditure, or that I am in terested in the perpetuation of abuses. This lam not—neither, on the other hand, have I any faith in the efficacy of Parliamentary Reform as a cure for our evils. "Whatever may be the theo retical defects of its constitution, I am firmly persuaded, that our House of Commons is as well disposed to promote • the good of the common wealth, and as much actuated by that spirit of improvement' which marks the character of the age, as any assembly which the Radical Reform ers would place within the walls of that House. Believing, as I do, that the disposition to 're lieve our distresses is not wanting on the part of our Legislators, (for, in truth, the great majority of them are actually suffering in their own estates, in common with their constituents) I cannot re gard them with any feeling of anger or disrespect becauSe they have not untied the gordian knot which thus restrains the exercise of our energies. Btit, good heavens ! what wonders would these ener gies perform could they be fairly called into ac tion ! Have we not abundance of land lying waste, or imperfectly cultivated ? Have we not free access to the prolific stores of the Ocean ? nave we not mechanical powers ? Are we de fective in scientific skill to direct those powers ? Where is the want of materials or of instruments to create wealth ? Britons have astonished the world with their prowess in arras-; they have en riched the nations with the produce of their in dustry ; they have illuminated the darkest re gions of the habitable globe with the light of truth ; neither the burning sands of the torrid, nor 'the icy barriers of the frozen zone, impede the progress of their researches. Our Philoso phers lead the way in every path of knowledge ; our Poets pourforth the loftiest and sweetest strains that ever stimulated the soul of man to deeds of virtue and of glory, or tranquillized his agitated bosom with visions of bliss. • With such appliances and means is it befitting that we should thus languish and pine away ? Is there not a path through which we may escape from the difficulties which envisage us on all sides ? Yes, Sir, there is.

Believe me,Sir, I am not prone to yield my own judgment at the first summons, and all that I desire at your hands is permission to explain the reasons which- have served to convince me, that the grand discovery, by means of -which we may not only escape from our present difficulties, but rapidly advance in FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR.-Having received a letter from a fruiterer this morning, in consequence of , the evil tendency resulting from a false statemoit in your paper of .Tuesday last relative to the prices of fruit in Covent Garden market, I beg leave to say that from whatever source you derived your information it is incorrect, and the evil arising .from falsities, of this description is considerably more than you can calculate upon ; to me a's a grower, the injury is trifling, but to the retailer it is verysevere, which is the case in this solitary instance. I must beg you will immediately cor rect your statement of Tuesday evening last, and state that Grapes of the ;very best quality in Covent Garden Market have not been sold 're tail at a less price than ten shillings per pound, second best, and small in proportion, previous to, Tuesday last, and at the same time beg leave to inform you that at those prices (in the beginning: of June) the grower is not remunerated for his trouble and expence. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, Isleworth, .Tune 15. JOHN WILMOT. *** We have already contradicted the mis-statement respect ing the price of Grapes, &c. &c. as our Correspondent will sae by a reference to a letter from " One of the Trade," imerted in of Friday last, but anxioils to obviate any 11:13. chieVoas consequences that may have affected an industrious class of people, we readily give place to the foregoing letter, and have only to repeat that the paragraph which contained ea,: mis-statement was copied from a Morning Paper. FO.ll, THE SUN. ROMAN CATHOLICS-(LETTER With pleasure I again refer my Readers . to the words of our revered LORD Cll.tscEt.r.oe, whose .authority in Jaw or wisdom cannot he too highly eStimated.—Speaking of the lately proposed measure, he observes, " it is said that this Bill, if passed, would be " a Bill of peace and conCiliation. Is there not " abundant reason to believe, that it would, in 44 truth, introduce confusion and domestic dis " cord, and eternal struggle for power?" When the Noble and Learned Speaker said this, he must have felt, that the only rational answer to his question must be in the affirmative ; and, to be sure, of all methods of making peace 'between contending parties, that of putting arms into the hands of the weaker is the.most extra ordinary. The immediate consequence . of such a measure must, be to gi'e spirits to the one, and alarm to the other ; feelings the most remote from conciliation and peace :of any that can be ima gined. I appeal, said an author of great sagacity, " to the judgment, reading, and experience of all who have in any measure applied themselves to the observation of men and things, whether they ever yet found that any, who pressed for indul gences and forbearances, rested in . them, ' when once granted; without . proceeding any further ? None ever yet did ; but used them only as an act and instrument to get into power, and make every concession a step to a further demand ; since every grant renders the person to whom it is made so much the more considerable, when he thinks fit to ask for more. n grant is to give ground; and such persons ask some things, only to get others without asking." • ,Here then are ample grounds for discord. In croaciunent on the one hand, jealousy and dis gust on the Other. Competitions for place and power,.of a new and most inflammatory . kind. The exercise of that .power, always liable to.sus picion, often really indiscreet ; for who shall se parate indiscretion from religious zeal? to ad vance, to gain new steps, to obtain whateVer can be sought, would be the effort on one side;. to resist, repel,and counteract, the necessary objects of the other ; and, are these the seeds of peace And harmonY ? such fruits can never grow from such a stock. `Die quiet good sense of the Eng lish public, (the enlightened part o f it I mean), is not easily, roused to violence, but there are provocations, easily to be foreseen, the effect of which Would . be irresistible. What would be their•feelings when they saw the advance of that they most dreaded, the ruin threatened. of all that they hold sacred ? They must be moved to. despeiation ; and the dream of peace and unity would vanish before the reality of discOrd in its most tremendous form, .* Dr. South, CATHOLICIA •
