THE SUN. SOLEN (WES DIC,ERE FALSU)I AUDE.47' ? LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1822. A lesson was read to Ministers last night on the weakness and inutility of givingnp established .and salutary rights, in compliance with popular clamour. Et will be remembered that in the year 1817, when a number of sinecure places were abolished or reduced, a Bill was brought in, enabling his MAJESTY to grant retiring pen sions, of limited number and amount, to certain public•officers after a stated period of service. CaEEVEY, it appears, had supported the .principle upon which this Bill was intro .duced, but was unluckily absent from Eng land, at the time of its passing... Having now re turned to this country, and having also chang ed his mind on the present subject (in spite .of the saying ('oelum, non onimum, mutant qui trans - mare currqnt) he comes forward with a ve hement accusation of the Bill, its supporters, and .all whpare likely to profit by its provisions. Now, as Mr. CRC-I:VEY observed, " it is not extraordinary .that a. man should at one time see a question in one view; at another time in another ;" but neither - is irto be wondered at that the public should hold. in very moderate estimation the judgment whkh undergoes such violent changes and flue tuatioqs in the course of ,a few years. We may atlfult far argument's sake, that a man may be ,quite sincere, who alters his mind every six hours, but we may be excused from taking his atiVice or :placing any reliance on his opinions.' ft is however fair to say, that we do not greatly diffkr from Mr. CJLEEVEY'S sentiments of last as to the alteration effected by the Bill of , It4i7 in the mode of rewarding public services. Although it might have been desirable that some •I : iiinecure offices should, if possible, be reduced in or ,entirely thrown aside ; we think that -)v,fa4ever was 'gained by ,establishing the present pension system was gained .by en improvident sacrifice of ,the dignity and just influence of ,the, ,Crown. ,it would have been much bet: and more honourable both to the giver „aud'the . receiver, that certain offices should. :14ave remained -,to be freely .distributed as marks of the Royal grace, than that a stated sum of money should be set apart for his MA.. JESTY to dole out from time to time under rigid and arbitrary limitations. This, it will easily be supposed, was not the objection most in sisted upon by the Opposition last night. As it will happen in every case of imprudent conces sion, the discourse was, not of what had been sa crificed, but of that which had been retained. —The question of sinecures was now a minor consideration, and Mr. CitEEVEY with the ut most boldness denounced as " abominable and outrageous," the doctrine that high and efficient public men should be rewarded at the national expence. The Honourable Member, in the course of his speech, repeated very frequently an as sumption, which will, no doubt, be found well worth re-echoing out of doors, that the present Bill charged the nation with a yearly payment of 42,0001. a year, thus taking as the ordinary and necessary charge, the highest sum allowed by the Bill under any circumstances. That the measure of justice might be quite full on this oc casion, Mr. BANKES, in recompense for his exer tions in the proceedings connected with the Bill, was personally assailed with a most violent phi lippic by Mr. BENNETT, who declared, that if he were called upon to name a member of Parlia ment who seemed to value less the public inte rests, and who was more wasteful of the public money than any other, he would point at the Hon. Member for Corfe Castle. An effort was made in the Committee of Supply to extricate Mr. Hume.: from the mauvais pas into which he had brought himself by his late obser vations on the Navy Estimates. The Hon. Gen tleman explained some of his former statements, omitted to explain others, and added some new ones, in which he was again controverted by the Secretary to the Admiralty, upon whose sheaving it appeared, that if Mr. HUME was unfortunate in his original statement, his blunders increase in the explaining, at compound interest. The out cry and the vehement efforts of his friends on this occasion sufficiently attest the importance they attach to his failure on Friday night. The Patriots of Great Britain seem to value Mr. HUNT'S merits and commiserate his sufferings in a degree proportioned to their distance from his sphere of action. A Petition was last night presented to the House of Commons, from the people of Greenock, in the West of Scot land, on behalf of Mr. lIENay HUNT, " at pre sent suffering solitary imprisonment in the gaol of Ilchester." Our readers may not perhaps know what is considered solitary imprisonment at Greenock and on the Opposition side of the House of Commons. Mr. IIuNT, then, (nature recoils at the idea !) is only permitted to see visitors in the common day visiting room, with the exception of his attorney, surgeon and physician, who, by a mitigation of the prison rules, are al lowed (as we understand from the debate) to see him in private. Mr. AUNT not choosing to receive his friends in a room which is open to prisoners for felony, his son is compelled to the hard necessity of rowing in a boat to that part of the river which is under his father's window, and con versing with him while resting on his oars. All this may be very tragical, but we confess that, according to the popular acceptation of words, it seems to us a mere defiance of truth to apply the term solitary confinement to the situa tion thus described. Mr. BENNETT, indeed, admitted with vast candour that this was not the worst degree of solitary confinement, but observed " that there was another degree of it which was perhaps not less painful to the sufferer, and it was that sort which inflicted degradation and insult, as classing the prisoner who had not committed any crime, among those who disgraced society." We do not know by what code of morals the assertion can be justified that Mr. HUNT has committed no crime in presiding over an assembly scarcely less tha❑ treasonable; but we think that he who convened the ignorant and deluded people of Lancashire on the fatal 16th of August, and by his conduct rendered himself morally re sponsible for the blood which was shed on that lamentable day, is not improperly placed among those who have disgraced society. If he is con fined in a situation dangerous to his health, that complaint deserves attention; but we do not see any ground for the claim of indulgences, or of the smallest relaxation in his favour, of rules which are not considered too hard for other pri soners in the same situation. IRELAND.—A Privy Council was held in Dub lin on Saturday, at which it was resolved to place the County of Cork under the operation of the Insurrection Act, from and after Friday (to morrow), the Ist March. The Special Commission terminated its labours in Cork on Stturday, when the Judges proceeded for Fermoy, and from thence, on the following day, for Dublin. In summing up the evidence on the trial of Heffernan, - Baron M'CLELLAND stated, that he had closely observed the character of the disturbances, and that he was convinced no religious or party feeling of any kind was connected with them. It was a confederacy of the lower classes, who, in the southern parts of the country, were generally of the Roman Ca tholic religion, against the higher classes, and against religion of all persuasions— Protestant, Catholic, and every other. He also ' said that he felt it his duty to express his appro bation of the conduct of the Catholic Clergy, wherever that conduct had come within his ob servation. The Attorney-General, while the Jury were deliberating on Heffernan's case, took that opportunity of publicly announcing that clemency would probably be extended to some of the prisoners capitally convicted, pra. vided the returning tranquillity of the country were manifested by a speedy and general sur render of arms. It appears by letters from Cork that the insur gents had formed the daring design of capturing the Judges, on their way to Cork to hold the Commission ; and that this audac;ous and despe rate enterprise was only frustrated in consequence of information given by a Roman Catholic Clergy man. The rebels were assembled for the pur pose to the number of several hundreds, near Watergrass-hill, between Fermoy and Cork, but were overawed by the strong escort which ac companied their Lordships in consequence of the discovery of the plot. The Limerick, Ennis, and Clonmel Papers contain the details of various outrages, amongst which is the burning of the Church of Bally brood, which however was Not entirely consumed, and the partial demolition of the interior of Final' Church, from which the insurgents carried off every thing portable. The following are extracts from the Paris Journals of Monday : " MADRID, FEB. 14.—T0-day, at ten o'clock in the morning, loud discharges of artillery an nounced the departure of his Majesty and his august family from the palace, for the purpose of closing the Session of the Cortes Extraordinary for the year 189.1. All the regular troops and the national militia were drawn up, and an im mense number of people thronged the entire line of procession. The approach of the Monarch was hailed by unanimous acclamations from every side. It was, however, not difficult to perceive, in the crowd, the sinister representations of cer tain Descamisados ; but not one among them dared, at this moment, raise exclamations that were insulting to the throne. Ilis Majesty was received at the entrance of their Chamber by a Deputation of the Cortes, where he delivered the following speech : " Gentlemen Deputies.—l have the greatest satisfaction in being able to announce, in the midst of this august Congress, that the legislative measures adopted during the Session of this Extraordinary Cortes have so far advanced the admirable work of our political regeneration, that, aided by a few more efforts, it will shortly attain the highest pitch of perfection. " I shall not delay to enforce those enactments which relate to our out-ports and customs, nor those ameliorations which have been made in the tariff duties, which, by circumscribing the extent of commerce, must restrain all contraband trade, while presenting to industry all the facilities of increase. " The measures which it is impossible not peculiarly to extol' are, the great undertaking of the division of the Spanish terri tory, and the formation of the Penal Code • the latter of which, by far the most arduous and sublime, is indebted for its execu tion at the present time to the wisdom and zeal of the Cortes.— Their titles must alone shew the importance of these great mea sures, whose necessity was notorious, and the developement of which, reserved for future times, cannot at present be adequate ly known. " I congratulate myself while reflecting on these stupendous monuments of the Spanish character, which, constant in its purposes, will never fail to achieve things the most glorious and most difficult, which are justified by events. It is thus, Gentlemen Deputies, that on returning to your Provinces, you will be accompanied by the national gratitude, and also mine. 1 reckon, in fine, on your patriotic virtues, and on your councils for maintaining public order and the respect due to legitimate authorities, as affording the best means of consolidating the constitutional system, on the etict observance of which depends the well-being and prosperity of this mag nanimous nation." The President of the Cones, in reply to the King, delivered a Speech concluding as follows Our successors, Sire, chosen by the nation, sensible of the requirements of the people, and faithful interpreters of the general will, in occupying this sanc tuary of the laws, can consult only the welfare of the State. To them is reserved the inestimable happiness of consolidating so majestic a work, without once exposing it to the assaults of power or the tumult of the passions ; and, animated by the same desire, we feel, while instructed by our inexperience, they will always insure the prosperity of the nation. While your Ma jesty prides yourself on this august scene, seated on that throne which is supported by the Constitution of the Cortes, on that throne which must henceforth form the happiness of your august family and of all Spaniards, we shall invariably offer up our wishes for the prosperity of our country, and, by persua sion and example, give lessons of unalterable fidelity to the po litical Constitution and the Monarchy, of obedience to the laws, and respect for the sacred person of your Majesty." " General Riego arrived at Madrid on the 12th of the present month, and entered by the port of Atocha, where he was expected by some partizans ; but his presence has not caused the least sensation. " Some disorders took place at Seville, on re newing the garrison there. " General Itiego, it is rumoured, has been commanded to wait upon the King, and every one is anxious to learn the result of the con ference. " It appears that the Laws for restricting the Press and the Liberty of Petition have received the sanction of the King. 44 During the Sitting of the Cortes Extraordi nary, on the 13th of this month, the affairs of our American Settlements were taken up, when it was resolved, in the first place, that the treaty which recognized the independence of Mexico was unlawful and of no avail as it respected the Government of Spain. Conformably with this, the Spanish Government was required to make known to all those Powers in alliance that it re garded the absolute or even the partial recogni tion of the independence of the Spanish American Provinces as a violation of treaties. It was also resolved that the Government be charged to take all possible means for preserving those parts of South America which remained in allegiance to the Mother State." A private letter from Paris, dated Monday evening, says, that the accounts received that day from Madrid are more satisfactory than usual. The Cortes had assembled, and the re gular business of the Session entered upon. The French Five per Cents. closed on Mon.. day at 91 f. 40c. American - Papers have arrived this morning to the 2d February. They do not contain any news of importance. We received Buenos Ayres Papers this morn ing to the end of November ; the following is an extract : PROPOSITIONS. 1. The Deputies of the province of Buenos Ayres to the ge neral Congress of Rio de la Plata, invite the other Deputies there assembled, to form compacts, under the following ar ticles, which being determined upon, they will return to Bue nos Ayres. 2. A. compact of alliance offensive and defensive, among all and every one of the provinces, against the common enemy. 3. A compact to maintain the integrity of the provhces against all foreign powers. 4. An engagement not to determine or resolve on any affair which shall interfere with the municipal concerns of any pro vince, without the concurrence of such provinces. 5. A regulation for maintaining a free and unrestrained in ternal commerce in all the provinces. 6. To appoint by common accord two agents, one of whom shall be engaged in Europe, and the other in America, to pro mote the acknowledgment of the independence of La Plata, fixing the appropriations for that purpose, and furnishing the instructions by which they are to be governed. 7. The provinces shall pledge themselves to form a census of the population of each, and to determine the ratio of repre sentation to a General Congress. 8. To pledge each to the other, for those several purposes, by establishing in each province a local representative Goveriament, and to prepare a system of public contribution and revenue, in such a way that in each province so organized, the general Congress may be assembled, consisting of representatives from each, within a year from that time, and the deputies now as sembled at Cordova shall determine the place in which the future general Congress shall assemble.

EDITOR—As your Paper is more parti cularly eminent in the upholding and defending our National Church, a subject connected with its essential rites cannot but be pertinent in your valuable columns; it is therefere that I wish to see them the vehicle of information to myself in parti cular,as well as to the Christian world at large, as to the time and place when and where a Confirma tion in or near the metropolis may he expected to take place.—A full and widely extended notice of the celebration of this important rite most cer tainly ought to be given, in order that those who purpose by the blessing of Gm) to take the be nefit of it, may have sufficient time to prepare themselves for this awful, solemn, and, perhaps, essential ceremony, and that those who are pre paring themselves may not, through ignorance, let slip an opportunity. I beg pardon for thus troubling you, but having no other means for certain information, I have to request that you will call the attention of any who may be able to give information ou this head, by a short no tice in your excellent paper, whereby lyou will confer an essential obligation upon many who may be in my situation ; and more particularly on . Your most obedient Servant, E. C. An article from Brussels says, that the two Couriers from St. Petershurgh, which passed through that town, had been succeeded by a British Messenger, bearing despatches of some moment to the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs at the Court of Russia. Extract of a Private Letter from New York, Feb. 1 :—" The Tariff Bill has not yet been brought up in Congress; there are many different opinions on the subject of what will be done. It is generally believed there will be some alterations in the duties, and that some articles paying the least duties will be raised, and others, paying the higher,.will be lowered ; it is now even matter of uncertainty whether any thing at all will be done." Tuesday, the Duke of YORK held a Levee as Commander-in-Chief, at his Office in the Horse- Guards, which was attended by seven General Officers and a number of others. . _ _ DEATH OF TILE EARL OF EGMONT.-011 Mon day last this venerable Nobleman died at Odell Castle, in the County of Bedford, in the 85th year of his age. He is succeeded in his titles, and in his English and Irish estates, by his only SOH JOHN, Viscount PERCEVAL, now Earl of EGMONT. MR. COUTTS'S WILL.—The Will of the late Mr. COUTTS was opened and read on Sunday evening last, by his Solicitor, in the presence of Mrs. Coutts, the Countess of Guilford, Lady Burdett, and others of his family. It first recites the nature and extent of his property, to the amount of Nine Hundred Thousand Pounds, which be bequeaths to Mrs. Coutts, for her sole use and benefit, and at her own disposal, without mentioning any other person, or even leaving a single legacy. The mansion and furniture in Stratton-street, and the villa on Highgate Hill, were previously Mrs. Coutt's.—Mrs. Coutts left her residence immediately after the reading of the will, for the house of Mr. Coutts Trotter, and the following morning Lady Burdett pro ceeded to Bath to join the family there.— (Morning Herald.) ORATORIO.— Selections from HANDEL and ROSSINI formed a grand harmonic treat last night at Covent-Garden Theatre. The per formances, vocal and instrumental, were through out correct and impressive, and received very warm and repeated applause from a numerous audience. HORRIBLE INSTANCE OF REVENGE.—SeIdom have the inhabitants of Virginia been presented with a more tragical scene than was witnessed in Mecklenburg. J. HUNT, who lives near Spa- 1 nish Grove, in this county, has three daughters ; one about eighteen years old, one about twelve, and the youngest about eight, and a negro boy about twelve, were all the persons belonging to his family. Mr. HUNT having gone to Richmond, left his three daughters and the negro boy at home. On Thursday evening, December 13, the eldest daughter chastised the boy for some misconduct. At the usual hour the three girls went to bed, their bedding having been previ ously placed on the floor n e ar the fire.. A short time before day the girls caused the boy to make a fire, and again went to sleep, but they soon slept the sleep of death, for the boy, irritated by the chastisement lately received, and in stigated by a diabolical desire of revenge, as soon as he perceived theM tranquil, horridly mur dered the three sisters as they lay asleep, by ferociously beating out their brains with a large axe. Having remained after the perpetra tion of the murder until day, he took whatever he imagined valuable to him, and set fire to the house, which was burnt down, and every article of , Hunt's furniture was consumed ; se veral persons who saw the fire hastened to the spot and got the girls out before they were entirely consumed. But so deformed were they by the fire, that no human being ever pre sented a more horrible appearance. Upon tak ing the boy up, he confessed every circum stance. A Coroner's Jury, upon examining into the case, called him before them, when he stated to the Jury every circumstance, agreeable to his former confession. He is now in gaol, and no doubt ample justice will be rendered to one whose youthful villanies have been so execrable. —(From the Richmond Enquirer.)

Yesterday the Seventh Anniversary Public Dinner of th Covent-Garden Theatrical Fund was celebrated in the Freema sons' Tavern, Great Queen-street—his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, in the Chair. Thenumbers present were about 300 ; among whom were the Earls of Glengall and • Belfast, Lord Blesinton, the two Sir John Doyles, Messrs. Calvert, Ramsbottom, &c. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had been drunk, Mr. Fawcett, the Treasurer, in an able and eloquent speech, des cribed the object of the. Fund, and the manner in which that ob ject had been carried into execution. Twenty-two farnilies, he said, had received relief in the course of the last twelve months. He stated that his Majesty had honoured the Fund with a sub scription of 100 guineas, and that the total amount of subscrip tions received that day amounted to 12001. It was stated by Mr. Robins, who returned thanks on " Pros perity to the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund" being drank, that the utmost cordiality subsisted between the two Theatres, with respect to the two Charitable Institutions. A number of excellent songs were sung in the course of the evening, by Messrs. Emery, Broadhurst, &c. ; and the Echo Song, sung by Miss Hallande, from the Gallery, was warmly encored. His Royal Highness quitted the room at half-past e l eve n o'clock, when the Chair was taken by Lord Blesinton. The utmost conviviality prevailed throughout the evening. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
