CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION At a- MEETING of the CONSTITUTIONAL ASs•OCIA 'I'ION for OPPOSING the PROGRESS of DISLOYAL and SEDITIOUS PRINCIPLES; held on FRIDAY, the 22d of Dei:ember, 1820; at the KING'S HEAD TAvERN, in the • POULTRY, LONDON; Sir JOHN SEWELL, KNT. LLD. in the Chair ; IT. was Unanimously Resolved to circulate among the Members and Friends of the Association the Bullowing ADDRESS. The prevalence of disloyal and seditious principles, to a great and alarming extent, among certain classes of our fel low-subjects, is unhappily too notorious nt the present time to admit of doubt or discussion. Possessing, as this nation does, a Constitution which is the envy and admiration of the world—at peace With every other country—covered with the glories of a long, an arduous, and a triumphant contest—enjoying an impartial .rsdininist ration of Justice—and subjected to the niild and paternal Govern ment of a Patriotic Sovereign, it . might have been hoped that all ranks and degrees of men would have bent in humble gratitude for such unexampled blessings to the Almighty and Merciful• Disposer of limuan events. But that this is far from being the case, and that, on the con trary, a spirit of hostility exists against our most sacred and • estimable Institutions, we have only to appeal to the uni-• form testimony of +Lose numerous loyal Addresses which have of late been laid at the foot of the Throne by Corpora tions or Meetings of Individuals. Framed by bodies of men in different and distant parts of the kingdom, without con cert or communication, .and containing opinions drawir from actual observation and conviction, these Addresses in disputably prove at once the lamentable existence of the evil and its fearful extent; —they prove that it tnenaces nut the • predominance of this or that party in the State, but the safety uf the State itself; not the separate interests of this or that class of men, but the liberty, the property, the security of A comforts and enjoyments, all the cbaritio and endearments, of social life.

TO BE SOLD BY, AUCTION, tie Cuosequences wltieb have already resulted from this perversion of public principle, are but too obvious. . Among them are to- be numbered, a daily Weakening of the botids of union between the humbler ranks of society and their natural guardians and protect o rS—insubordinat ima—disregard of. the laws, and frequent attenipts to obstruct their operation — increase of crinies—denunciations of hatred towards the greatest and best men in the country—mockery of Religion — querulous impatience Mall -contralti and restraint—vain and ostentatious contempt of all sunnd learning, experience, and knowledge—interruption of the courses of honest industry —and derangement of the great concerns and enterprises of the nation. The Causes of the evil are no less apparent ; it may be dis tinctly traced to the machinations of a comparatively small number of individuals. These persons act partly by means of the turbulence and excitement of public meetings, at which the most 'unfounded and in flammator y s p eeches are'de livered ; and partly through the medium of a licentious Press, which, without' excepting even the day of sacred rest, inun dates the nation with an unexampled profusion of slanderous, seditious and blasphemous publications. The mistbeviuus activity of the popular agitators has not heeu capricious of transient : they have pursued their OW! systematically; e and the influence which they have acquired over the minds of the less-informed classes of society, teas for several years been regularly and rapidly increasing._ If it has occasionally ceased to attract public attention, it has ap peared at every new manifestation more formidable; it has been nourished by every art which a pernicious ingenuity could devise ; and_ it has enlisted in its favuth every personal feeling of its ignorant and deluded victims. The Press, that great and invaluable blessing of civilized life—that mighty engine for diffusing the light of Liberty and of the Gospel—has unhappily become, in the haods of evil men, a lever to shake the very foundations of social and moral order. Its power. which within the last century has been multiplied an hordred-fold, may now be almost - said to reign paramount in the gairlance of public opinion; and to those friends of their country who reflect deeply on this fact, it 'cannot but be matter of serious alarm to obierve that a very large proportion of our periodical publications is under the direction either of avowed enemies of the Consti tution, or of persons whose sole principle of action is their own private and selfish interest. By these, and by occasional writers of a like character and description, every artifice is employed,with daily increasing boldness, to render the people discontented with the Government, and alisubedient to the Laws: to persuade them ;hat they are betrayed by those who should protect them ; to seduce them from their affection and allegiance to their Sovereign; and, finally, to bring about a Revolution, to which (however it night gratify or enrich themselves and their associates) the wealth, the pros perity, the internal happiness, and the political greatness of the Empire, must inevitably be sacrificed. And it is clear that isolated, individual exertion, would he utterly inadequate to cope with all the rest energies now arrayed against public order and the public peace; so it is to be feared, that the Government and Legislature them selves might find the contest difficult, without the active, zealous, and persevering 'co-operation of the loyal and well disposed part of the community; which co-operation, to he effectual, must be the result of a regular and systematic union of individuals. • Persuaded that by these means alone the progress of sedi tious principles can be arrested ; atid feeling that to arrest it, • if possible, is the bounden duty of every good subject and sincere patriot ; the Members of this Society have adopted the following Resolutiuos Ist. That they will use their best exertions to maintain order, and to support the due execution of the Laws. id. That thee wilrerupley their itabtence, individually and collectively, in "discountenancing and oPposing the dissemina-' then of - seditious principles. ' . 3d. That they will entourage persons of integrity and ta lent in the Literary World to exert their abilities in confut. ing the sophistries, dissipating the illeisions, and exposing the falsehoods, which are employed by wicked and designing men to mislead the people. 4th. Twat they will resort to such lawful measures as may be deemed expedient to restrain the publishing and circulat ing of seditious and treasonable libels. In wislung that the licentiousness of the Press should be restrained, this Association is actuated by a sincere desire to secure the tine Liberty of the Press—that liberty which sub sists only under the •protecting shield of law, and which is sure to he one of the first sacr ifices made in a Political Revo. lotion. Stich a liberty is absAutely incompatible with thi present licentiousness ; and the one Most soon Destroy th other. The alternative, however, is yet hefore the native. The Members of this Society have uo wish to prescribe limits to discussion, nor even harshly to censure the excesses of an honest though mistaken -zeal ; but there are publications (and unfortunately many of those circulated among the !R -hombi., c l a sses are of this .description) , on th e criminalit y of whi ch no rational doubt can he entertained. These works consist almost wholly of scurrilous slanders, and of the most false and inflammatory statements respecting public institu tions and public men ; they abound with personal calumny, and idler direct incitements to violence and crime. In short, they are inseterately hostile to public and private virtue, and favourable only to whatever tends to degrade and debase niantind. All that is estimable in the country would be be nefited by their suppression ; and nothing would be so Fiala improved and elevated as the Press itself. This Association is established on the broad principle, not of supporting this or that Administration, but of opposing the attempts now made to overthrow the Civil Institutions of the State. Other Societies have for some time existed, for the protection of Religion and Morals ; but, with the excep tion of a few Local Associations, the present is the only one exclusively destined to the very important object of apprising the progress of Disluvalty and Sedition. In order to atta i n this end, it has been 'determined 1. To establish a Fund, by the voluntary contributions of the Members, at such rate as each individual may think fit. 2. To appoint a Committee for conducting the business of theSocietv. 3. To adopt a system of Correspondence with those Mem bers who live at a distance , and with such Associations as" may he williug to cu-operate in promoting the same objects. .Most earnestly, therefore, does this Society call upon all men of all ranks and of all political parties, upon all to wham the maintenance of civil and teligious liberty is dear, upon , all wlso value the internal peace of the country, to the per manence Lathe British Empire , to join them in % strenuous endeavour to stem the torrent of those disorganising and de , into Mishits principles. which would level to the dust the fabric of the Constitution, and bury under its ruins all the By Mr. ATTRiFI, - ;:t; '7ll-11.11tS1.);).Y, January 25th, 1821, at the New Inn, North-street, Brighton, at Twelve o'Ctock at noon, THE BRIG HARRIET AND JOHN, lying in Shoreham .

SPADE HUSBANDRY.—At the Bath and West I of England Agricultural Society meeting last week, the following experiment in spade hus bandry by Mr. BATLWARD, was detailed :- 46 The Mange! Wurzel, Guernsey parsnips, long carrots, and short carrots, are all of field not gar den growth ; and the immense size of the mange! wurzel arises from the devastation of the grub on their neighbours. On three acres of old arable, much out of condition, I began the work of cleans ing and manuring withvetches on oat stubble, which were cut for soiling, succeeded immediately by cattle cabbage, (lunged' after the .rate of eighty cart loads per acre. On this foundation I have grown parsnips and mange! wurzel in drills, at wide intervals (so as to hoe the crops with ease) after the effective digging with the spade, or if I had more manure, to lay on, a 'se 'cond digging in order to vary it. The carrot crop follows these, and it is man.iired with coal ashes and perhaps a sprinkling of soot on the sur face of the ground after the plant appears. The husbandry necessary after seeding the land is two hoeiugs by hand, and regular thinning. My mange!. wurzel crop amounts to 20 tons of roots, and of leaves enough in addition to a necessary allowance of hay, about 1 cwt. per week, to feed a heifer • more than a year. The short carrots amount to the rate of 32 tons (nearly) per acre, nineteen perches and a half ..having given 73 cwt. The parsnip crop, unfortunately, Was judged from the part first dug, (for sale to a farmer for feeding cattle, at 6d. per cwt., or 50s. per ton; lie bought two tons), and did not amount to I'2 tons per acre; the other part from the 'Guernsey seed was much better, but I do not think it to have exceeded 16 tons per acre. In calculating the value of 'car rots and. parsnip crops by the gardener's prices, a sum appears whiCh astonishes., I have sold _more than .20 guineas worth, and: do not think more than one-third of the produce of one acre and a half to have passed from my hand ; that is, I have sold the produce of half an acre At home, I sell either carrot or parsnips at 50s. the ton ; but prefer retaining the parsnips of the two, from the idea of their more nutritive quality.

She has left no near relation, and her fine family estates go to a very distant heir. There had been for some time a Commission of Lunacy granted from the Court of Chancery. The right to the . Holm Lacy property has been in dispute for some time, amongst several persons who have . claimed them as heirs to the last Lord Scuda more : but it is supposed that one moiety of the property will fall to Sir E. Stanhope, Bart. and the other be divided between General Burr, (in right of his wife), and Mr. Parsons, who claim it as co-heirs of Sir J. Scudamore, who lived in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, they being de scendants from two of his daughters. The Rev. J. Harewood, B. D. F. S. A. claimed as being descended from a son of Sir John Scudamore, who was Gentleman Usher to King Henry VIII. and the ancestor of Sir James ; and a Mrs. Jack-, son, of London, who was the petitioner when the Duchess first became insane, claimed as being descended from a daughter of the same Sir John. Thus the fine Holm Lacy estates go into an in direct line, after an uninterrupted descent of many hundred years, and, in fact, those three . who it is supposed will take the property, will do so as heirs to a person who was born near 300 years ago. LAW INTELLIGENCE, COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 17. EAIRMAN V. KING AND °VIERS. This was an issue from the Court of Chancery, directed to try the question of exclusive right, on the part of the Lord of the Manor of Milton, in Kent, the present plaintiff, to the oyster-beds and fisheries situated in that part of the hundred of Milton, called the East Grounds. The de fendants were the free fishermen of Milton, and the facts of the case were as follow :—The free fishermen of Milton had held the fisheries since 1705, by lease from the Lord of the Manor, which lease hid been renewed from time to time, on the - payinetit of an annual rent by the Com pany of Free Fishermen to the Lord ; and no fisherman was allowed to enter and fish until he had signed this lease, and paid a certain sum ; the sum so paid formed a fund, out of which the rent to the Lord was paid. On the expiration of the last lease, however, the Lord being desirous to raise_ his rent, the fishermen turned round and disputed his right to - exclude them • from dredg ing, and the result of that refusal Was, proceed iings in Chancery, which . have been pending for some years. The Solicitor-General now con ducted the cause on the part of the plaintiff, and produced a multitude of documentary evidence, from the reign of Edw. 111. to the present. time, consisting of grants by letters patent from the different Sovereigns to the family of Herbert, Earl of Pembroke and Montgomerie, through whom the present Lord of the Manor claimed. The establishment of the Court of Free Fisher men in 1705, was also proved, and that the Mem bers of that Court paid a certain fee on admis sion, out of which the rent to the Lord of the Manor was paid ; and, further, the. Learned Counsel called evidence, and put in documents to prove a quiet enjoylment of this right on the part of the Lord of the Manor for upwards of one hundred years. Mr. SCARLET, on the part of the defendants, went to the Jury on the general issue, abandon ing the special plea on behalf of the fishermen of Milton, and contended that the ' Lord of the Manor could not, by the law of the land; have a right, any more than the fishermen had, ou the evidence adduced, to exclude the public. The oyster-beds were overflowed by the tide, and the Crown itself could not grant such a right to the Lord as gave him a right to exclude the public.. Upon this•ground he should contend that a ver dict must be entered for the defendant as part of the _public, He- believed the Court of Free Fishermen and the claim of the Lord of the Manor arose in 1705, out of a collusion between the parties, to which the public were to be made a sacrifice. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, if the claim of the Lord of the Manor was not established by the evidence adduced in the present case, he was at a loss to conceive whatevidence would be sufficient to en able a man to retain possession of his estate or property. The question was agitated as one be tween the Lord of the Manor and the Free Fishermen ; the Fishermen finding themselves beaten at every point, now turned round on the. plaintiff, and said, if we cannot have.the oysters, neither shall you, we, neither of us, have any right, the whole shall be laid open to the public. The Jury would judge of this defence, and the effect it would have if it succeeded. They were. aware of the nature of the property, and of the care, attention, and expellee required to keep the oyster-beds in eriStence. Should this pro perty be thrown open to the public, the result would be, that in. less than three • years there would not be an oyster for one. The Jury, without hesitation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Datnages, One Shilling ; the question being tried to decide the right, and not to recover damages. . . Mr. SCARLETT said, the unfortunate de fendants..were by this decision reduced to a state of great distress, and left wholly at the mercy of the plaintiff. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, he had no doubt the plaintiff, Mr. Fahmati, who was not in fact the Lord of the Manor, but the lessee under the Lord of the East Ground Fishery, would do every thing that was right - for these unfortunate individuals. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT,. JAN. 17 . . John Brunton, late the manager of the Brigh ton Theatre anti Brighton Circus, came up to be examined for the purpose of taking the benefit of the Act. In his examination, he stated that he had held the 'Brighton Theatre for two seasons, in the last of which the theatre was a losing con cern which he attributed " to this unfortunate business of the Queen's," the Nobility, who were the chief support of the theatre of Brighton, haVing been detained during the greater part of the summer in London. When he was arrested, his property was all taken in execution, and the theatrical 'properties, embracing all the" pride, pomp, and circumstance" of mimick state, which had cost him more than 2,0001. were thrown into lots by the Sheriff, and sold for less thari 601. 111 was at the time of this sale "fretting his hour" within the walls of the Vleet, and did not concur in it, or take any share in it, either by himself or by an agent. Ills schedule stated that he had ten children to support, but he admitted that the young Lady who is engaged at Covent-garden supported herself by her own talents. There ap pearing to be no ground for opposing >lr. Brun ton's discharge, he was declared by the Court en i. to the benefit of the Act, and ordisrcd' to I be discharged fOrthwith. BRIGHTON, JAN. 16. The Weathef yesterday was turbulent and damp ; the Ii IX . Or did not take his usual prome , nade. The Princess AuousTA was in her car , riage for abont.an iiciar. In the evening, an ele , gant party had .the honour of being entertained at the Palace. An entertainment on a still wider scale of invitation is fixed for to=morrow evening: The fete of last night, however, was interest , ingly brilliant. For the first time, in its finished state, the room for musical entertainment was thrown open. It is called THE MUSIC ROOM. It is forty-two feet in the square, with two recesses of ten feet each, making the extreme length sixty-two feet. In height it rises forty= one feet, to a dome thirty feet in diameter. This dome is gilt with green gold, and ornamented. with sparkling sca'es and fossils, which diminish in site to the centre, and add much to the appa. , rent elevation. In the centre point of this dome is an ornament, representing, in all its vivid tints, the sunflower, with others, on a miner scale, blended with it, in all the luxuriance o 1 seeming cultivation ; and from which. orna ment or sun-flower depends a glittering pa goda of cut-glass, connecting itself with an immense lamp, in the shape of an open lotus or water lily, surrounded by gold dragons, and enriched by various transparent devices, emanating from the heathen mythology of the - Chinese. The dome itself, which appears to have been excavated from a rock of solid gold, is supported by a convex cove, intersecting itself with au octagonal base. It is ornamented with Chinese devices, in green gold, upon a light blue and red ground. It also displays eight windows of stained glass, rich in devices of the Chinese fancy, the effect of which is indescribably impos ing and brilliant, and which are contrived to admit of being suitably illuminated exteriorly. Descending from the cove's base, a splendid canopy is seen, with carved scrolls, bells, &c. At each of the angles of this costly room a pa goda tower meets the view,, formed of sparkling glass and china, with lamps suspended from its projecting angles, displaying the open lotus, &c. to correspond with the former, and give unifor mity to the general effect. The canopy before mentioned is supported by •colutrths of crimson and gold ; their height, from the floor, measures es feet, and round which enormous serpents are twisted, ih all their diversity of colours.— The walls are covered with twelve paintings, highly finished, in imitation of the crimson japan; the subjects introduced are views in China, prin cipally in the neighbourhood of Pekin ; they are of a bright yellow, heightened in gold ; they are . equal in execution and niceties of finish to the best miniature painting, and exhibit a beautiful specimen of British art. The panels containing these paintings have frames of gold, with a bor dering of blue and yellow fret, heightened in gold. The recesses are 33 feet -by 10, and 16 feet:high ; they terminate in the square of the room by a convex cove, representing rows _of bamboo, confined by ribands. The north recess Contains a magnificent organ by Lincoln ; it is the largest instrument in the kingdom ;. its com pass is from C.CC, with a double diapason through out. It is as much distinguished for its peculiar delicacy of tone, as for its prodigious powers. The space which this stupendous instrument occupies, at the back of the recess, is '2O feet in length, with an height and width of similar dimensions. There are two entrance to the room, one from the Egyptian Gallery, and the other from the yellow • drawing-room, each under a splendid canopy, supported by gold columns.

On the east side of room light is admitted by five windows, the tfraperies of which, composed of blue and red and yellow silks, with rich fringes, are supported .by dragons. The carpet, which entirely covers the floor, was manufactured at Ax minster, and is one of the largestin the kingdom. It is of a light blue ground with Chinese subjects in gold colour.
