A Cabinet Council was held at half past one O'clock this day at the Foreign Office, at which Were present the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl GREY, Lord ALTHoRP, Lord MELBOURNE, Lord GODERICIT, the Duke of RICHMOND, Lord HOLLAND, Lord JOHN RUSSEI.L, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the Right Hon. C. GRANT, and Mr. STANLEY. The second reading of the Irish Reform Bill is Postponed till after the Easter Holidays— Friday, 4th May. ____ It is with deep regret that we must refer our readers to our foreign intelligence for a procla mation, by which the Despot of Russia treats Poland as a conquered province, and annexes it as a part of the Russian Empire. The whole proclamation is a revolting instance of the man lier in which sacred terms and holy pro fessions can be prostituted to cloak the most detestable of motives and conduct. The unhappy Pules have fallen a sacrifice to their confidence in British honour and good faith. Five sail of the line in the Baltic, and a few frigates before Odessa, would have secured the independence of Poland, and bound the peo ple of Europ e to us in gratitude and admiration. A very curious discussion took plaCe in the Lords last night, upon a motion of the Marquis of WEsTmEATH. Whigs, Tories, and neutrals, saints and sinners, all concurred in one, and but one fact—that the disorganizatio n of society in Ireland was horrible, almost beyond description. Lord PLUNK ET was confident that the Govern ment by coercion and conciliation could remedy the evil—" but what," said his Lordship, "could be done, if at every step the Government was opposed by persons hostile to the Adminis tration ?" This was germane to the matter, and therefore up rose the old Tory leaven—the cry of additional power, additional magistrates, more police, a larger force,—in short the whole Orange gamut was run through, the diapason closing full in blood. Earl GREY reminded these disciples of the school of exclusive piety and virtue that "the army in Ireland was already 25,000 men, with a great additional police force, &c. &c. but, if wanted, an additional force would be sent." What must foreigners think of this ? An army greater than the whole force of the United Kingdom after the campaigns of MARLnottouGH—an army larger than almost any with which WELLINGTON won his battles in Spain and Portugal —an army greater than any military power of Europe, with four exceptions, can maintain, is employed by England at a period of profound peace, merely to keep a portion of our subjects in a state of order which the most barbarous nation on earth would con sider a state of revolt. The Cory cry is to carry the Bible at the point of the bayonet, and to persevere in the system which has produced all the misery. The cry of the other party is to de fend the right of opinio n at the sable's edge, and Lord GREY declares that " in steering a middle co u r se, Ministers had dratvn upon themselves the enmity of both parties,"—,. Alois it ne faut pas raisonner, it faint travailler,"—and we trist that Lord GREY will work—daspi6ing both parties, and seeking the tranquillity:of the country. An account of exports and imports fro►n and into Great Britain, for the years ending January 5, 1831, and January 5, 1832.

Our readers probably recollect that we lately adverted to that invisible, intangible document which all men in England perpetually quote, and never can produce ; and by their ad libitum quotations front which they can prove or refute any position, from the extremes of Dionysian tyranny to the excesses of the wildest democracy. This phantasmagoric constitution, if it have any one point undisputed, it is the doctrine of an equi librium, a united action, or a unanimity between the KING, Lords, and Commons. In corporate or plural bodies, a triplex or uneven number is generally chosen to prevent the neutralizing ef fects of equal divisions ; in our Constitution the very reverse notion has been adopted. That three separate bodies, with opposite interests, ad verse educations, and with hostile habits, passsions, and prejudices, should be cordial and unanimous, habitually or even casually, is an absurdity more revolting than ever entered the mind of a reeling sot or expiring lunatic. This Constitution never did exist in England and never could exist. How has the very reverse practice been recon ciled to this ostensible theory, but by the Lords, like the stork in the fable, swallowing all around them? The sex and weakness of Queen ANN, the peculiar situations of GEORGE the First and Second, and the unfortunate natures of the two successors, seemed almost a providential coinci dence to favour the usurpation of the Lords. The individual Members of the House of Com mons were bribed, and bought and sold with a coarse, unblushing publicity, of which the lowest political jobber would now feel ashamed. The Peers gradually bought up the boroughs with their spoils from the taxes, and at last they stuck their sycophants in the House, with as much indifference and security as their wives stuck pins in their pin -cushions, or as the parish beadle put paupers and prostitutes in the stocks. The task of reducing the Sovereign to a mere cipher, a puppet, was of easy performance. Hunting, punch-drinking, an ample supply of titled courtesans, and English money poured fraudulently and clandestinely among poor rela tions and dependents in Hanover, made the first two GEORGES satisfied with the destruction of kingly power. The Peers coalesced admirably with GEORGE 111. They gratified his raging thirst for gold ; they administered to his bigotry ; they flattered all his prejudices, and sacrificed the nation and every feeling of humanity to his insatiable love of war. The power of the Cro n was humbled to the dust, and when the KING was insane, it was disposed of as the Peers and their agents in the Commons thought fit. The aristocracy did not condescend to treat with GEORGE IV. His sensuality, and animal selfishness, with his love of hording and expen sive babyisms, could be gratified out of the pockets of the people, and to this the aristo cracy was indifferent. Latterly, if a few of their own body wished to make the King a tool for their personal objects, those in power set a Bishop to work upon his imbecile superstition, or Lord would terrify him with raw head and bloody bones stories of radicalism, and by working upon nerves, worn out by excesses, the King was kept in the subjection of childhood. Now that we have a Sovereign of vigorous intel lect, independent and patriotic, he is bearded, and, as yet, triumphed over, by one half of the aristocracy, though he is supported by the people and by all the virtue and intellect of the Peerage. In both Houses, he has been told that he shall be King no longer, if he does not bow the neck and worship the brazen image of Toryism, which a faction has reared upon the pedestal of infamy. Thus low has the kingly power been reduced, and the most loyal people on earth wor ship the most absolute Aristocracy, under the mock title of a mixed Government. But whether the Reform Bill be carried or not, can the Flui-v of Peers exist in its present slate, without an in fusion of public principle, and of the spirit of the age? The Peers are hostile to the KING and people, and the hostility seems to admit of no compromise. The oh farce of the two Houses meeting in the Painted Chamber to settle differ ences—that is, to sacrifice the people and divide the spoil,—can be played no longer. The gentry and people of England demand reduced taxes, ho nest expenditure, and clear accounts. The Aristo cracy scorn the ignorant impatience of taxation ; they yell for place and pension, and they would set up another PITT, a VANSITTART, or GOUL BURN, to get up accounts unintelligible and con venient for their objects. The people desire law, cheap, expeditious, and certain, and they require impartial judges. The Aristocracy worship ELDON, and seek safety in party judges and the chicanery of law courts. The people are unani mous for a revision of tithes, and a reform of political and court episcopacy, whilst the Aris tocracy hold the apostacy of the bench of Bishops as a part and parcel of the word of GoD. The people cry out for cheap bread, and the humble re wa; ds of honest industry—the humane cry out for mercy upon the perishing multitude. The Aristocracy proclaim, Let the people perish, or fly to the wilds of America, our rents shall not be touched. These, and a thousand similar differences exist between the English nation a n d a Tory Aristocracy. Are these to be reconciled in conferences in the Painted Chamber ? Can the free spirit of England be tamed by a Camarilla or Divan, or can the lion heart of our country quail before satraps and mandarins ? It is of no consequence whether the House of Peers do or do not pass the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill. In either case the regenerate Peerage of the last half century MU At be purified !)), the creation of Peers equal to the crisis of the ti3nes. Why does Lord GREY palter with us in a double sense ? He knows the fate he is bringing upon a patriot Sover€ign and a devoted people. We are happy to announce that, by the Cholera returns this day, the disease is fast sub. siding in the Metropolis. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE O' CLOCK. Montreal papers to the 9th of March, and Quebec to the 4th of March, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. A New Brunswick paper reports, that in a secret session of the Senate of the United States, the decision of the King of the Netherlands on the subject, had been acknowledged by the General Government, and that despatches to that effect had been received by the American cutter Swiftsure, and for warded to head-quarters. For the last two days they had expe rienced very mild weather, with an occasional thaw. In a speech of his Excellency Lord Aylmer, on the proroga tion of the Legislature, he states to the Assembly, that the present session commenced under such favourable auspices, as to inspire him with confident hopes of its termination in a manner calculated to justify in the fullest extent the favourable antici. potions of his Majesty's Government. The despatches of Viscount Goderich of the 7th July last, had been communicated to the House of Assembly, and their contents not only were found to meet the various subjects of complaint embodied in the petition of the House, and the con cessions on the part of the Crown such as to surpass the most sanguine expectations of the people of Lower Canada, but it was natural to expect therefore that the Civil List proposed for adoption, as the only advantage sought for in return for their liberal concessions, would have been met by the House in a corresponding spirit. Their expectations have nevertheless been disappointed, and under circumstances peculiarly discouraging, for the Executive Government, on approaching the House of Assembly with the proposal for a Civil List, had been met at the very threshold of the door with a fiat denial ; therefore, he now finds himself under the necessity of reserving the Bill of Supply voted for the services of the current year, for the signi fication of his Majesty's pleasure. MONTREAL, M►RCM I.—The grand triumphal entry into this city of Messrs. Dovernay and Tracy, took place yester day afternoon. Never has it fallen to our lot to witness such a miserable failure in ceremony, and for which preparations had been making for a month previous. From the American papers, a large piratical vessel of 28 guns, and 230 men, has been captured and carried into Ascension by his Majesty's ship Primrose, after an action of seven hours, in which the pirates lost 101 men, and the Primrose 50 men. A Jamaica mail has arrived : sailed on the 18th February from Carthagena. A Malta mail sailed on the Bth March. By the Jamaica mail we have received the Jamaica Courants to the 18th Feb. from the paper of the 17th Feb. The accounts from the North-side are not satisfactory; the slaves are sullen and discontented, and appear to meditate further acts of rebellion. It was reported in town yesterday that the Baptist preachers had taken counsel's opinion as to the best mode of compelling the several parishes in the island, where the chapels had been destroyed, to rebuild them. We think this quite premature. Very alarming earthquakes were experienced in the parishes of Westmorland, Hanover, and St. James's, Trelawny, and St. Ann's, during the last week, and occasioned much destruction of property. It is gratifying to state that the whole damage was confined to those dens of sedition, the Baptist chapels, not one of which are left. A handsome address has been presented to Commodore Far qu.harson from the Magistrates and inhabitants of Montego Bay, expressing their sentiments of pprobation of his good con duct and his officers. ;From the Cornwall Chronicle.) On Monday last, martial law was, by proclamation of his Ex cellency the Governor, no longer in existence. The approaching Session of the Legislature of the island will be one of the most important that has ever occurred—a crisis of the most awful and stupendous nature has recently taken place. We were yesterday favoured with Antigua Papers of Feb. 7. The Order in Council has been carried into operation at Trina dad and St. Lucia, and the inhabitants had entered their pro test against its operation, and resolved to petition Parliament for redress. COLUMBIA.—An official correspondence has taken place between M. Pereira and Mr. Turner. The former declares that British subjects and British property are safe in Columbia. that the Vice-President Obando seized upon British property belonging to the respectable house of Orford, Grill, and Co,, of Carthagena, to the amount of 250,000 dollars, not one shilling of which has been restored Is this protecting British property ? The House of Assembly will be called to meet on Tuesday, the 28th inst. (From the Paper of the 3d.) We have taken great pains to lay before our readers in. formation from every part of the island. The whole looks favourable, and we hope, in a short period, to be able to an nounce that tranquillity is restored. BULLETIN.' The following despatches were yesterday received : ST. JAMES'S.—From Sir William Cotton, stating that the rebellion was fast drawing to a close. From General Robertson, dated Feb. 1, stating that 365 negroes had surrendered, and that the slaves belonging to Greenwich, Belvidere, York, and Cow Park, in St. James's, had surrendered. ST. ELIZABETH.—From the same officer, stating that .he'.negroes in that parish had returned to their duty. (From the Paper of the 10th.) Head-Quarters, Hanover street, Kingston, Feb. 8. Martial law having terminated, the Major-General feels himself bound to express the very high satisfaction he has ex perienced from the good conduct and seal of the whole force under his command during its continuance. Head-Quarters, Montego Bay, Feb. 5. Art. I.—Martial law having this day ceased, the whole of the militia forces will return to their respective homes, with the following exceptions : Two companies of each regiment in the county of Corn. wall; the Cornwall Regiment of Horse. 2 —The Maroon' Force and the Cornwall Rangers, are to be continued. 3.—. Officers commanding Corps will take care to remain on duty. The private letters from Holland, this morning, state that Count Orloff's declaration has made a great impression on the people of Holland ; they say that if the three Northern Powers ratify the treaty, they are lost. THE FUNDS. Consols opened this morning at the same price as they left off yesterday, 831 for the account, with no business doing as yet. Speculators are waiting to ascertain the price of the French Rents. The news by the Jamaica packet is favourable, confirming the accounts received via America, at: the North and South American Coffee-house, that martial law was suspended. RALF-PAST ONE. We have just been favoured with the perusal of a letter from Amsterdam of the 3d instant. It states that although the Powers may sign the Treaty, the Dutch Government and Nation are determined not to give way, and fight their rightful cause to the last extremity. Every prepara. tion of importance was making for the commencement of hostilities. The Dutch army at present amounts to 130,000 men, eager for battle. Flushing ha• been put in a state of siege; and the whole of the Dutch flotilla has proceeded towards Antwerp, in which city the stones have been takeo up, and nu merous batteries erected. A vessel has arrived from Calcutta, sailed on the 2d Decem. ber. We do not hear it brings any news of importance. A commercial express has arrived from Paris, but we do not believe it brings any news of importance. The French prices as yet have not transpired. Next week we apprehend will be an important one ; first, the Reform Bill in the House of Lords, secondly, the reputed signa tures of the Powers to the Dutch Treaty, thirdly, in what light the Powers will view the important Manifesto of the Emperor of Russia, in annexing Poland to his empire; but we imagine it is a boon of the Powers to soften him down to sign the Dutch treaty. Consols have been the whole of the morning at 83 9ti, sellers, for the account with little doing. The speculators are anxiously waiting the result of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords. Console for next account, 83 ,1 4. In the Foreign Market, although Duch Stock comes lower from Holland, it has rather improved here. HREE O' CLOCK. Consols for Account 83g. The House of Lords will meet this day, at half past three o'clock, for the purpose of passing the Consoli dated Fund Bill,:Mutiny Bill, Malt Drawback Bill, &c., so that they, along with other Bills, may receive the Royal Assent, by Commission, which will issue on Monday. De,patehes were received this morning at the at the Colonial-office, from Jamaica, dated Fa). IS; from the Cape of Good Hope, March 4 ; from Malta, March 8 ; from Gibraltar, March 21; and from Cadiz, March 21. _ SUICIDE.—On the night of Tuesday eight days, an old man, aged upwards of S 2, was found suspended by the neck in his barn, near the Ellrig_lock. He had been de sponding for a while previous, and before the rash act was ob served looking over his papers, but some illusive dread of want had so preyed on his mind, that in a fit of desperation, he thus hurried himself from the scene of his supposed woes.—Scotsman. -• By a return laid hetore Parliament it that the Courts of Vice Wardell and Steward of the Stannaries in Cornwall, have tried in the last seven years twelve causes. The Stannary Courts are invaluable bequests made by the wisdom of our ancestors. We do not know how much they cost the present generation. By a Parliamentary document, it appears tlat Only 2474 subpamas have been issued out of the Court of Ex chequer in Scotland in the last ten years. The number of rules to show cause, within the same period, amounted to 143 • By the 48th Geo. 3, c. 145, the King was empowered to grant very large pensions to the do-nothing ;udges of this sine cure court. By the Act 2W. 4th, the court is altogether abo lished. Thus much at least for reforming in preference to u tax-taw:ming king. ...) rt , .- • vi ,aj A CG t , t g EtEF . ,'“Z E 8 . r 3 .. . mo - ~,, c Places and Dates. . ,-, C. , (d t . .. cd Cd 7..i E • ? ... .

This morning information was given at this office of the following robbery :—Some short time since Monsieur John Baptiste Amiot arrived in this country from Canada, with his servant, Louis Bonnacine, bringing with him three animals of the Elk species, of a very rare description. Amiot disposed of thew to the Zoological Gardens for the sum of 1501. The animals were delivered to Mr. Burnet, the Secretary ; but the money was not to be paid till Thursday last, when Bonnacine was sent by his master to Mr. Burnett, who paid him the money, since which time he had never been seen. M. Amost having described the person of his servant to the clerks of the office, withdrew. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. -(THIS DAY. Mr. Nash the architect, appeared at this office this after_ noon, to answer the summons of John Dane, a person out of place, residing in Seacoal-lane, Farringdon-street, to pay the usual penalty for one of the chimneys of his house in Regent.. street taking fire yesterday. Mr. Nash stated, that he resisted the payment of the penalty on the ground of the abuse of the law in this case, there being no evidence of the chimney having been on fire, and in fact, scarce a possibility under the circumstances of its being likely to have been so, After a minute examination into the affair, Mr. CONANT dismissed the case, on Mr. Nash's proposal to pay the expenses (a few shillings) of the firemen called by the informer on the occasion. Henry Jones (son of Paddington Jones, the pugilist Sophia Morgan, and Harriet Bird, the two former as principals, the latter as receiver, were brought up on a charge of stealing a box of linen, the property of Lord Frederick Beauclerc, of St. Michael's, Herts, from the house of his laundress, Ann Falk ingham, Princes-street, Lisson-grove, on Tuesday last, and were committed for trial.

John Mitchell, aged 30, was indicted for forging the ar ceptance of Henry Howell, to a bill of exchange for 101. ar. with afterwards feloniously uttering the same, with intent t defraud the said Henry Howell ; another count charged hil; with an attempt to defraud Cornelius Rigan. Lord TENTERDEN, upon this evidence, asked if the Jury wished the case to proceed any further ? The evidence being defective, the Jury acquitted the prisoner Edward Milliner, alias Thomas Lilly, aged 22, and Henri. Sly, aged 14, were indicted for breaking into the dwelling-hous( of William Francis Green, and stealing therein 17 silver spoons, fire silver forks, and several other articles, his property. James Fuller, a policeman, on the 27th February, was on duty in Brunswick-square, a little before eleven o'clock in th, morning, and saw the prisoners together going from door to door, offering scouring paper for sale ; witness followed thew from Henrietta-street, and saw them try several area gates ; at length they tied up their respective rolls of paper into one parcel, and the prisoner Milliner put it under his arm, and then he opened the area gate of No. 1, Henrietta-street ; Sly went down the area, and then Milliner beckoned to Sly, upon which Milliner reached his body inside the area gate and took something like a dark bundle frosty Sly. As soon as he received it Sly came up, crossed the street away from the other, and went towards Wakefield-street. Witness caught Milliner with the bundle, which he found to contain, plate. Sly ran off, and witness called out stop thief, and hr was secured. There were in the bundle four tablespoons, five dessert spoons, six tea spoons, two sauce ladles, one fish knife, two butter knives, five forks, and two salt spoons, all sil ver, and in a japanned bread tray. Frances Bolland, servant to the prosecutor, of No. 1, Hen rietta-street, Brunswick-square, identified all the plate as her master's property. Several witnesses gave Sly a good character. The Jury found them Guilty, but recommended Sly to mercy. NE iv ( OUR T. John M'Graw was indicted for stealing a quantity of coffee from the St. Catherine Docks, on the 3d of March last. The case was proved by a foreman in the employ of the Com pany, who said that on the 3d of March, being in one of the warehouses of the docks, he heard something fall on the floor, which induced him to conceal himself, and observe the motions of the prisoner, whom he saw filling his pockets from a bag of coffee; he then collared him, and charged him with the theft, which he at once acknowledged ; he then gave him into the custody of an officer; !Sibs. of coffee were found in his pockets and hat. The Jury found him Guilty, but recommended him strongly to mercy, in which the Company cordially joined. The COMMON SERJEANT then sentenced him to be prisoned in the House of Correction for two months. Charles Head, and Charles Higgons, were charged with stealing a cock, nine hens, three ducks and a drake, the pro perty of a Mr. Hennings, Stamford Hill. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.

COCKING AT MELTON.MOIVBII.II: The great main of cocks at Melton-Mowbray between Sir H. Goodriche and G. Walter, Esq., was won on Thursday evening by Sir H. Goodriche by a majority of eleven battles. We have just harried, with regret, that Ma dame Brugnoli is indisposed, and cannot make her debut to night at the Opera. Her celebrated rival, Madame Heberle, arrived this morning UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS. A special meeting of the Proprietors and Editors of the Unstamped Weekly Periodicals, was held on Thursday evening, at the Crown Tavern, Stationery -court, Lud gate-hill, for the purpose of adorning such measures as might be deemed expedient, in consequence of the ;Magi sterial decision, at Worship-street, on Saurday list, which brings literary Reviews within the meaning of the 60th of Gen. 111., c. 9 , and subjects their printers and publishers to heavy penalties. Upon Mr. STILL, of Paternoster-row, being voted into the Chair, Mr. CARPENTER, after showing at considerable length the necessity of an immediate repeal of those laws which imposed a tax upon the dissemination of knowledge, read a letter from Mr. Lytton Bulwer, which strongly urged that, in order to eff,-o• so desirab!e an end, petitions should be poured into both Houses of the Legislature, without delay, praying for a repeal of those obnoxious imposts— the legal, but unconstitutional fetters upon the intellectual powers of man. He (Mr. Carpenter) suggested, that ar rangements should he entered into to protect the Publishers and Printers of Weekly Periodicals against the penalties of so obnoxious an enactment of the Legisl 'Aare, and that an Association should be formed for that purpose; for the Act of 60th Gen. 111., cap. 9. was of so comprehensive a na ture, that no publication—even a Monthly Magazine, or a work published quarterly, according to the construction of the Act, in a late decision, by Lord Lyndhurst, could, by any possibility eacape its penalties. Mr. C. concluded by moving the I.llowing resolution . 4 That this meeting is — of opinion that it is expedient to con vene a public meeting for the purpose of adopting petitions to Ho.ises of Parliament, praying for a general repeal of all taxes upon knowledge " _ _ _ Mr. PROCTOR seconded the motion, which was carried unanitnously. A Committee was then appoined, consisting of six of the gentlemen present, fur the purpose of preparine the necessary measures to convene a public meeting to petition the two Houses of Legislature for a repeal of the taxes on knowledge. In order to show the comprehensive and odious cha racter of the Newspaper Acts, and add to the public feel ing against them, it was resolved : "That Mr. Judge be requested by this meeting to lay an in formation against the publisher of the Literary Gazette. for publishing that work without a stamp." Mr. JUDGE, up,,n public rounds—without any re ference to private er pecuniary consid-rations--would wil lingly undertake the task. He trusted th it if a conviction were obtained against the• publisher of the Literary Ga zette, and against the publishers and prin , ers of sue.. other works as it aught be deemed necessary to proceed against_ it would be the means of causing those obnoxious laws to be repealed. A liberal subscription was then entered into, and the meeting broke up. BANKRUPTCY COURT, APRIL 6. (Before Mr Cornmi•sioner FONBLANQUE.) MR. MABERLY'S BANKRUPTCY. _ The examination of Mr. Maberly under the fiat issued against him was resumed to-day. A few debts were proved in the first instance, after which Mr. Maher y was sworn and examined as to various parts of his accounts. After some discussion, it was settled that Mr. Maherly should be called up for a last examination on the 19th inst.; but in case further time were then required to go through the accounts, the day should be turned to the purposes of a private meeting. In the mean time private meetings of creditors were appointed for Monday and Wednesday at one o'clock, at the request of Mr Gordon, to examine into the following m.tters :—A loan by Mr. Leader in 1825; the purchase of the share of the linen-ma nufactory by Mr. Richards; the disposal of real pro perty in the Regent's Park ; the acsignmetit of hi. life-interest and marriage -settlement by Mr. Ms ; the 30,000/. advanced upon the estate called Spring Paik ; the mortgage to the late Mr. Lang ford for 10,000/., and several loans. The examination was then adjourned. The number of creditors present was not great. Ciluncif REFORM.—To THE MOST REV. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.—My Lord Archbishop,— Though very anxious to give credit to your Grace for enter taining a sincere aversion to pluralities, how is it to be recon ciled with your aiding the Rev. Anthony Hamilton in obtaining a Residentiary Canonry in Lichfield, while lie held the following appointments, and at your special desire retained the first Se cretaryship to " The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign l'arts," though I feel, in common with many sub. scribers, that this post alone affords ample scope for the undi vided attention of a clever and indefatigable individual:— I. Rector or Vicar of St. Mary-le-Bow. 2. Ditto or ditto of Loughton, in Essex. 3. Archdeacon of Taunton. 4. Prebendary of Wells. 5. Chaplain General (or Chaplain) to the Colonies. 6. Clerk in orders at St Martin's-in-the-Fields. 7. Librarian to St. Martin's 8. Joint Secretary to "The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts." It is very painful to a Layman thus to address your Grace, for whom I have, from my youth, entertained more than com mon respect, having been truly, as I always hope to be.—From a Correspondent of the Times. EXTRAORDINARY MATCH AGAINST TIME. —Last week a gentleman in Glasgow, weighing eleven stone, undertook, for a considerable wager, to ride from that city to Edinburgh, on his own horse (we believe) in three hours and a half; and other bets to a considerable amount were taken upon the match. The gentleman started from Glasgow exactly at six o'clock on Saturday morning, and reached the west end of Prince's-street at sixteen minutes past nine, being fourteen minutes within time. The rider cause in at an easy canter, but seemed very much fatigued. The animal, a fine grey mare, about fourteen and a half hands high, did not appear to be much distressed. She was taken to Stirling's stables, and the gentle man was conveyed in a chaise that was in waiting to the Star Hotel. The tolls on the road were paid the night before by the driver of one of the Glasgow coaches, and a bottle of wine awl another of strong ale were ordered to be in readiness at West Craigs, the only stop, we understand, that was made on at road; but whether the rider partook of the wine, and the horse of the ale,or vice versc,we have not learnt.— CaledonianMercury. Mr. Horace Smith's ,sew work of tict►i,l: (Tales of the Early Ages) will unfold to the lovers of romance, a series of scenes and events calculated, in the highest degree, to arouse attention, and to familiarize them with the grand character of times which, although almost buried in antiquity, have yet an influence in the days wherein we live. This cannot fail to be perceived in the striking tales of Jerusalem. Egypt, and ("sly Britain, included in the volunac grIRIT OP THE PUISLIC JOURNALS. The state of Ireland was last night the subject discussion in the House of Lords. The Mar uis of Westmeath represented the country as in . state in which there was no protection for life ind property. One Noble Lord thought open rAellion would be preferable to the existing state f things. Earl Grey said "he would apply for n o new powers so long as those already given by 'he laws continued to be sufficient for the pre servation of the public tranquillity. Whenever he local authorities required the assistance of troops or of an additional police force, troops were sent, and the police force was increased ; and if it could be shown that there wAs a further necessity for such assistance, the Government w as ready still farther to increase the military t;)rce, which he thought it was most advisable to employ in quelling tumults in Ireland." His Lordship added, that— It was the object of the Government to act ju.tly and impartially between the two parties which divided th,tt country—not to look to the right or to the left; to reeard on distinction of colours, orange or green, but to take the course which was best calculated to win, not a triumph far party, hut a victory for peace and good order. —(Hear.) For that purpose, the ordinary powers given by the I•w of the and had hitherto been sufficient. But he regretted to nerceive that there was a great disposition on the part of the gentry (and that disposition was not consned to Ire land) to call for the assistance of the military. It seemed tit him, therefore, that the Lord Lieutenant bed done no more than was his duty, when he recommended the Ala. 6strates to rely upon their own exertions and i r dl aenes for the preservation of the quiet of their respective districts." The short parenthesis introduced by his Lord ship as to the disposition in other countries besides Ireland to call in the military, suggests serious reflections. We may depend on it the disposition to recur to force on all occasions im plies a consciousness that the system which it is wished to uphold can only be upheld by force. In Leland we have a delightful com mentary on the policy of governing by force. The gentry of England ought to beware how they allow themselves to tread in the footsteps of the Irish gentry. It is with force as with dram drinking, the more it is had recourse to, the more the quantity must be increased to produce its effect. When once we cease to make the ge neral good the object of the law, we renounce the only sanction for the efficacy of the law—the disposition of the community in its Favour. What a satire on the system followed so long in Ireland is the declaration, that the people are opposed to the law and refuse to aid in its exe cution. Lord Longford thought that still stronger laws ought to be passed, as the present were insufficient ; but how are these strong laws to be executtd, if the people are opposed to them ? His Lordship said, "he concluded that the existing law was not sufficiently strong to put down crime and disturbance. As for Clare, they might ask the Adjutant-General and the chief constables of police how tranquillity was there es tablished ? Every field in the county was stud ded with military and police, and besides, the work of intimidation and devastation had pi o ceeded so far, that little remained to he done. The agitators had in a great degree carrie,l their point ; this accounted in part for the tranquillity and the presence of the soldiers accounted for the rest." Surely to stud every village with soldiers is strength enough. The Duke of 'Wel lington, on the other hand, intimated, that ii Magistrates were not called to too strict an ac count, things might go on better " There were (said his Gruce) abutidrut proofs of the melancholy state of socitty in Leland. Even granting, as was said, th,t Limerick and Clare were pac►sed, look to the destruction of property in other countits—in the King', County, Westmeath, rnd Kilk-nny.—(H ar.)-- In those counties, people were muff. ring front the absence of every thing like protection of the laws. Now he would ask, did the Government send into these counties a .uffi- dent force to put down such a state of things?—(Hear. Had they given the necessary protection to property ? (Hear.) The same things were going ou in other coun ties, as had before driven all the gentry out of •he county of Care. But the Marquis of Anglesea wanted to know of what use would the Insurrection Act be ? e (Lord W.) granted that the Act was of no use by itse H lf. He had himself been in that country tinder cilcutnstatters which convinced him of the ineficie•icy of the Act ; ha ,Pawed, tl.erefore, that it served only to preserve tran quillity for a lime —(Hear ) But still tin. Alsrviis of Anglesea ought not to wonder that people, who could rocure no evidence of any atrocity, however grest, that might be committed even at their own th , ora--wlio saw that no one around them dare come forward as a witness against those whit destroyed their property .ind endans v red their lives, should come forward end cdi upon the Government fur the enforcement of a law that ought put ‘town the conspiracy which spread terror and insuburitiva tion throughout the country." His Grace added, " The Noble EArl at the head of his /114 sty's Go vernment had very properly put out of ecaniidera7.ii.n ' on th- present occasion, th e case o f C apta i n G ra h am, and the more particularly, as it was the intention of another Noble Earl to bring that subject before the House. Now he (the Duke of Wellington) confessed that he was one of those who thought, that if the Government were desiroua that the eentlemen of the country should give them a red and efficient assistance in preserving tranquillity, they must on their part give those. gentlemen their support, confidence, and aii•istance.—(Hear, hear.) There must Ire no cavilline• ai.out trifles, when genii men have done heir duty efficiently for the preservation of peace and good order.—(Heat.) Gentlemen must not be punished for any trifling mistake which they might commit in V•e h,ncst exe.cuti”n of their duties ; neither most they he punished because they happened to be odious to cne party or another.—(Hear.)" This is indeed strange language. We have always flor rce u ir i e i understood yreaa t c h oe ; s i t etd. t o he , bityetti dhselawless.so sort o habits ef of oof sees himself held in little respect will be as little dis. posed to respect others. His Grace evidently considers the people of Ireland as so many cattle existing for the benefit of the gtlitry ; and he puts the feeling of the people themselves en tirely out of consideration. His Grate, how ever, is mistaken, sadly mistaken, if he think that the system of screening men in authority will promote obedi v e a l r i t e io e n in (r)ef t t h h o e:\ s l e subject to au thority. threeA c l ) i f s ecs quackery and delusion, except the people have an interest in yielding obedience to the laws. England may supply armies to co erce Ireland ; but the moment the soldier with draws from a district the outrages recommence. Not so, however, thinks his Grace, who holds up the conduct of the Ministry who approved of the Manchester massacre for the imitation of the present Whig Ministry. Protect magistrates through thick and thin. " His Majesty's pre sent Ministers would be wise if they took a lesson from the conduct of his Noble Friend (Sidmouth) and the Government which was at that time in office." Of course, if his Grace should be the head of a future Ministry, lie would act up to his lesson. Bui has his Grace turgotten ins embarrassment on account of the disturbances in the ag , icultural districts, before he quitted office ?
