gerations and misrepresentations of the Catholics, — misrepresentations which the Irish Press, either from secret influence, or equally culpable indiffe rence, seems to take no pains to counteract. God forbid, that in our zeal for the stability of the Protestant Religion, ancrfor the preserva tion of those principles of civil and religious liberty with which the ascendancy of that Reli gion in these realms is so intimately identified, we should be betrayed into any expressions really offensive to the fair and candid feelings of the Roman Catholics, or disrespectful to the distin guished individual connected with the Irish Ad ministration, whose sentiments are supposed to have influenced the present policy of Govern ment toward the Romanists, and to have pro duced that dangerous reliance on the tranquil disposition of the Popish peasantry, which is known to have prevailed up to the breaking out of the existing disturbances.—A sense of public duty, however, compels us to observe, that some of the allegations of the Catholics, as is clearly shewn by " SIDNEY," have been put forth with a view to deceive Government and the country, — that the policy recently pursued toward the Ca tholics, particularly as regards their pretensions to what they term emancipation, and as to flat tering their hopes of that which never can be granted consistently with the Coronation Oath of the Sovereign, or with the fundamental princi ples of the Constitution, has been temporizing and weak,—and that the reliance placed upon the dispositions of the people, from the supposed gratitude which that temporizing policy was be lieved to have excited, might have proved fatal to the best interests, and even to the integrity, of the Empire. We confess, for our own part, that assertions have been so often and so confidently repeated as to the overwhelming numerical superiority of the Irish Romanists over the Irish Protestants, that, (uncontradicted as they have been either by temporal or spiritual authority), we are far from being surprised that they should have obtained general credence in this country.—We are far from being surprised that many persons, who. W ould otherwise have been decidedly adverse to t he Catholic claims, have been induced to lend a favourable ear to demands which they have b een led to believe are the demands of nearly a whole people !—We are far from being surprised that some of those who would have recoiled from a Proposition to entrust Papists with authority Over a population essentially Protestant, have b een induced to admit the justice and propriety °f permitting Romanists to exercise power over a Malation which they have been falsely assured is essentially Popish! F r°n] the past history of Popery, from its pre sent unyielding and intolerant tenets, and from the gross ignorance and fanaticism of the vast rna j°rity of its disciples, (at least in Ireland,) we have, and always have had, too certain and too melancholy evidence, that however its perse cuting spirit may be quenched in the breasts of its more enlightened and liberal professors, t he body, as a whole, are utterly unfit to be entrusted with power over, or influence in, the af fairs of a Protestant Community. In the fero cious domination of the Turks, we have an existing Pr°of of the atrocities to which a religion, arro gating to itself infallibility, and pretending to the sole distinction of Divine Truth, while it abhors all other religions as damnable heresies or the in ventions of infidelity, is from its very nature . s e rtain to gi ve bi r th.

KING.-Our graciods factor and beloved SOVEREIGN is arrived at the Pavilion. his MAJESTY, with no other attend ants than are usual in the suite of a private Gen tleman of fortune, accompanied by Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, in his travelling carriage, came in at. six o'clock this evening. Though a proces sion of the . inhabitants and visitors, for the rea sons assigned yesterday, had been prohibited, yet some thousands of our population had as sembled on the . Level and North Steyne, to give his MAJESTY welcome, whose acclamations rent the air as the Royal carriage passed them, an nouncing to the surrounding neighbourhood the im portant, the joyous event. A guard of honour and the band of the regiment received his MAJESTY at the north gate of the Palace, the latter play ing.the national anthem, the strains of which were caught up and chaunted in all quarters. The church bells are now sounding a merry peal, and cheerful hearts and countenances give a pleasing character to the town. We have the inexpressible satisfaction to add, that his MAJES TY is ill the happiest state of health arid spirits. Admiral Sir EDMUND N AGLE, General, Sir %VII. LIAM K EPPEL, and Colonel THORNTON arrived at the Pavilion earlier in the afternoon. Lady BLOOMFIELD and others of the Royal suite will be here to-morrow. Froin the,. Brighton Chronicle.)—We are all joy and - gaiety. His MAJESTY came in here this evening, about six o'clock, in his travelling carriage. His Majesty was received by a large assemblage of. people, who had been waiting to welcome him, with loud hnzzas. A guard of honour, composed of the 10th Royal Hussars, and the 2d Regiment of Foot, formed into line on each side of the road from the Palace gates to Gloucester-place, had been in attendance from four o'clock, and received him under arms, the bands playing" God save the King." The bells rung a merry peal, and the tone of anima tion which has been already imparted .to the town can be scarcely conceived. The mess-house of the Officers of the 2d was illuminated this evening. The presence of our Royal Patron will now make Brighton the gayest and most fashionable place in the kingdom. The town was, perhaps, never fuller at this season ; and tree company is particularly select. The Steyne and Marine Parade promenades were, on Sunday, literally crowded ; the equestrians and equipages were also very numerous. Indeed, it reminded us of the gayest scenes in Hyde Park, with the additional advantage of the sea view and air. The whole waq enlivened by the excellent band of the 2d Regiment of Foot. THE BRIGHTON ADDRESS TO TIIE KING. MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY—We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the High Constable, inhabi tants, and visitors of the Town of Brighton,\humbly desire to offer to your Majesty our most heart-felt congratulations on your happy return in health and safety to your native land. Although your Majesty's absence from this town, which owes its prosperity to your Royal favour and protection, must ever be a source of concern and regret to its inhabitants, yet those feelings have not been unmixed, during the present year, with sensations of the most lively satisfliction. • We hailed, with peculiar gratification and delight, the au spicious day of your Majesty's Coronation, and participated most cordially in the general joy which it diffused throughout your dominions. We have rejoiced sincerely in the opportunity most graciously afforded by your Majesty to the natives of our Sister Island, of testifying on their own shores that warm-hearted and devoted loyalty to their King, which has ever formed so prominent a feature of their national character. We have heard, also, with unfeigned pleasure, of your Ma jesty's visit to your Hanoverian dominions, and we doubt not, but that your continental subjects will fully appreciate the marks of parental care and Royal favour you have conferred on them. And now that the opportunity is afforded us of welcoming your Majesty's return, allow us to express our earnest hopcs that the British empire may long experience, in the Sacred Person of your Majesty, the inestimable blessing of a Monarch reigning in the hearts of an affectionate, united, and happy people. His MAJESTY is not expected to reside in town again till after the Christmas holidays. On his leaving Brighton, it is said that he will occupy the Cottage, in Windsor Great Park. [FROM THE QUEBEC GAZETTE OF 4TH OCTOBFR.J The lease of the KING'S Posts, fo'r 20 years, from October, 1821, was sold on Tuesday last to Mr. Goudie, of this city, for 12001. per annum. The last lease was held by the North-West Company, which is now united with the Hud son's Bay Company. The country, the exclusive trade of which is granted by the lease, extends from the Saguenay about 40 leagues downwards, on the northern bank of the St. Lawrence, and back to the height of land forming the Hudson's Bay Company, in all enough to form a large kingdom. This lease, we believe, is the only remaining vestige of the monopoly in which the French Kings once held the trade of this colony. The Quebec Agricultural Report for Septem be', after stating that the harvest has been got in tolerably well, states :—" As was predicted in our last Report, the price of butchers' meat has given way. It must still come nearer to that of grain. If the present restrictions on Trade con tinue, both must be lower than in the American Seaports. This is but poor encouragement for the farmer, but he ought not to be discouraged. He is, indeed, not easily discouraged. It is but a bad season, in which experience has shewn him that his exertions are more necessary than ever." LFROM THE Q UEBEC GAZETTE OF OCT. 18;3 We have received files of Bermuda Papers, during the past Week, and are happy to find that no event had occurred since the release of Mr. Till, that could have a tendency to agitate or disturb the public mind. We believe orders were transmitted in the last mail for recalling Gover nor Lumley from Bermuda. The Princess SOPHIA has been for a week con fined to her bed by illness, but we are happy to say her Royal Highness is now nearly recovered.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.-We bad not till last night an opportunity of visiting this Theatre, since the commencement of the season ; and injus tice to the maangement, it may be fairly said, that it not only ranks high among what are styled the Minor Theatres, but holds forth a very respectable competition with those which are sanctioned by the authority of a Patent. The chief representa tion last night was a burletta, entitled Zorayda, which is an interesting piece in itself, and which was throughout well supported by the Per formers, particularly OXBERRY, !who appeared to much advantage in a part different from his usual style, and in which he displayed great feel ing. Miss S. BOOTII,WIIO would be an ornament to any theatre, also distinguished herself very much in this interesting drama. Mr. BAKER, from the Haymarket Theatre, also appeared in this piece, and may be considered as a respectable addition to the dramatic corps. The piece was deservedly received with much applause. The new drama entitled Life in London, another production of this Theatre, is very well calculated to amuse the audience, and the same may be said of the concluding burlesque tragedy called Rumfuskin, King of Bythnohorbia. Upon the whole, those who wish to pass a few hours without the alloy of churlish criticism will not be disappointed in visiting this Theatre. The house last night was crowded, even to an overflow. His MAJ riTy sported Prince LTOPOLD'S live ries when he left town on Tuesday last. The Duke of WELLINGTON and the Marquess of TITCHFIELD are named as members of the Committee for the management of " The Union Club." A Bridge over the Black Water is about to b built in the county of Waterford, which will considerably shorten the road to Waterford from the South of Ireland, and consequently be useful in conveyance between the South and Milford. WJIISTON computed the. period of the World to be 20 years from his own time (1712), and yet asked 30 years purchase for an estate which he had to sell. ANECDOTE.—SiT RICHARD STEELS had constructed a very elegant Theatre in his house for the recitation of select passages from favourite, authors, and wishing to ascertain whe ther it was as well calculated to gratify the ear as the eye, de sired the carpenter who had completed the work, to ascend a pulpit placed at one end of the building, and speak a few sen tences. The carpenter obeyed, but when mounted, found him self utterly at a loss for the matter of his harangue. Sir RICH ARD begged he would pronounce whatever came first into his head. Thus encouraged, the new-made orator began, and look int; steadfastly at the Knight, in a voice like thunder, exclaim ed, " Sir RICIIARD STEFLE, here has I and these here men been doing. your work for three months, and never seen the co lour of your money. 'When are you to pay us ? I cannot pay my journeymen wuhout money, and money I must have. Sir RICHARD replied that he was in raptures with the elo quence, but by no means admired the subject. PRAYING FOR 11 USBANDS.—The convent of the Chartreuse, .at Auray, in Normandy, possesses little other interest than that of its site, except that it has certainly the moss wonder-working altar in all Christendom. The natives have the firm belief, that whatever boon is there solicited, is granted to the petitioner. This well-frequented altar is dedicated to St - . Anne. .Mrs. Stothard relates in her late tour, that she observed a certain young girl offer her prayers, with great punc tuality and earnestness of, devotional feeling, to St. Anne, and observes, that from her best cap and jacket being worn on such occasions, and the soft air of a young man who always accom panied her to the church door, she could, without much craft, divine the subject of her devotion; anti the more especially, as the girl had assured her, in proof of the efficacy of St. Anna's blessing upon her shrine, that a certain young lady of Auray, who feared dying (rather say lii , ing) an old maid, very earnestly begged the saint to grant her a httNhand. St. Anne's b9unty being equal to her power, she most kindly sent the trembling petitioner three husbands in the space of five short happy years. ORIGINAL. POETRY. SONNET.

Monday last being the day appointed for this old established Annual Hunt, the Kendal Pack, in excellent condition, threw off about eight o'clock in the morning, accompanied by upwards of thirty Gentlemen on horseback, and a large party or pedes trians. After.beating about a short time, a hare was put up, in. Cock Crow Wood, which, after running about an hour, lost at the same place. A fresh hare, however, was started in the wood, which afforded tolerable diversion for two hours; and as she run the same ground twice over, those Gentlemen who had not spirit to follow the bounds the first round (on account of the heavy leaps that interposed) rode gallantly over hedt'e and ditch in the latter part of the chase, as the difficulty of following was considerably removed. Some of our young sportsmen, however, who had gone fully prepared to contest the honour or leading the field, were much disappointed that they, as compe titors, had not an opportunity of deciding to whom the palm was due. At half-past two o'clock, the sports of the-field being ended, the Mayor, Mr. Richard Thompson, with 31 Gentlemen, sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by the respectable hostess, Mrs. Dawson. The glass went briskly round, and se veral of the Company did not leave Natland before they were liberally crowned with the favours of Bacchus. 4 Mr. Heelis was appointed Mayor of the linnt for next year, and there is no doubt but he will be well supported.— (W estmoreland Gazette.) In addition to the tribes of North American Indians, the Usage and North West Indians have lately attracted notice. The Osage Indians are within the territory of the United States, and 'Missions are forming amongst them, on the Ar kansas and the Missouri. The North West Indians are connected with British America. —lt•' was suggested to the Church Missionary Society that the Western parts of British Ame rica, lying between the high ridge called the Rocky Mountains and the North Pacific Ocean, and extending from • about the 42d to the 57th deg. of N. lat. offers a more extensive, pro mising, and practicable field for Missionary la bours, than any other in that quarter of the globe. The climate is in general temperate, the soil sea sonably productive, and the surface of the coun try level. The people are not savage, ferocious, and wandering but settled in villages, and in se veral respects somewhat civilised, though still in the hunter state ; with few arts, no letters, no general knowledge, but a great desire to be taught by white men, whose superiority they clearly discern. Numbers of them are scattered over this great range of country ; and it has hi therto been very little known, that so great a por tion of the North American continent is covered with a stationary aboriginal people, still however very much in a state of nature. The North West Company trades through all the great space which lies between Montreal and the North Pacific, a longitUdinal. distance of not less than 4000 - miles, and keeps up a direct communication by. sea between London and the mouth of the river Colombia, on the N.W. coast of America. A member of that "Company, who is a highly respectable merchant in Canada, informed the Society that he has been frequently among the Indians in question, and thinks the prospect of the introduction of Christianity very promising, while many of the principal persons .in Upper Canada ark anxious for the promotion of that ob ject. And another proposal has - been offered to the Indians on the Eastern side of the- same chain, between the Rocky Mountains and Il ud son's Bay—and it seems very probable • that this intercourse may • lead to a new settlement. The following CURIOUS STORY appeared in a recent Berlin journal A remarkable event has occurred on the Ist Nov. at Sirakovo, in the circle of Posen. A labourer named Sandke, who had been married for several years, expressed a desire,-in the pre sence of his wife and parents, to be a father. One day his wife announced to -him. that his wish was likely to be fulfilled; he received the intelligence with transport, and the apparent state of his wife rendered such an event every day more probable.— When her time came near, she went lo a little distance in the country near Dessaw, whence she was to return in the same evening, but she delayed, and the night advancing, her hus. band began to be alarmed. However, she did return, about three o'ciock in the morning, and presented her husband with a fine new-born infant,. of which she said she had been deliver ed in the open country. She said she suffered very much, and felt great pain, which being all very natural, shethought it ne cessary to confine herself to her bed. In the meantime the child was taken every possible care of, the wife recovered, and Sandke, in caressing the infant, frequently gave way to his transport, and expressed the horror which he felt at the crime of infanticide, of which he said a young woman of Dessaw was recently ac7rsed. . She was delivered of a child, which she said had been stolen from her in the night-time ; she was accused of killing the babe, as it was illegitimate, but she denied the crime, and persisted in saying that the child had disappeared in the way she mentioned. Some five or six weeks afterwards a few friends came to visit the wife of Sandke; they were ac quainted with the supposed infanticide, as was also the wife of Sandke ; they observed a strong resemblance between her child and that which was said to have disappeared. Sandke's wife, fearing that she should be punished, fled. She was apprehend ed soon after, and brought before one of the tribunals ; she confessed she had deceived her husband by assuming the ap pearance of a woman about to be a mother, and that she had stole the child in question in order to gratify his wishes. It was with infinite pain that poor Sandke restored the infant to its true mother, and his wife now waits the punishment of a crime, of which the criminal justice of this country offers very few extmnples. ECCLESIASTICAL DRY.) THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF WESTMINSTER V. THE REV. HATCRARD. In this case articles were exhibited Against the Reverend Defendant, for attempting to eject via et tfrinis from the pulpit of the Church of St. Margaret's, Westminster, the Rev. J. R. Rod - - bard, who Claimed to have been legally elected thereto. It will be recollected, in the latter part of last year considerable disputes arose amongst the parishioners on -the election of the Evening Lecturer, when the defendant claimed the election by a majority of votes. The aullo , rity to whom it was left to decide gave it against him ; he, however, endeavoured to gain posses , sion by the means above described. The allegations in the articles exhibited stated the defendant to have pulled Mr. Rod bard by he gown, and called out shame at the time he k‘ai about to enter the pulpit. Mr. llatchard intend ed to rebut them by affidavits ; the Court, how ever ) •considered . that the original articles wanted some_ verbal amendments—they were withdrawn for that purpose: • Mr. HATCH 1;1) addressing himself to Mr. Rodbard ) said, " I wish to give no offence, but ask you before Goa and this Court ) if you will swear I pulled you by the gown and called ) shame Nc answer was given,and the consider ration of the case postponed. , v , i • , . tk* ,9 1 e 4, • • • ye. , ...)
