GRNTLEMtN,—In March 1821, you prepared some Scotch c anvas of rather an inferior quality for the brig Eden, under a ny command.—l had a quarter deck awning made of part of lt, which was hauled out occasionally on the passage to Ja lnaica ; likewise four weeks at Kingston, and at the Havan laalt for near seven months ; during the latter period we ex. Perienced very considerable changes of weather. The awn ing is in a good state, and I have no doubt will yet last seve ral voyages. During the whole time at the Havannah it was furled thrice for a few hours o nly; Part of the time, near four months, a lower studsail of Co ker canvas, new on leaving England, was used as a main deck awning, when it was found .one mass of mildew, and so rotten as to be totally unfit for service. I forward a piece of each, with my sea l annexe d , f or your inspection, and beg you will make what use you think proper of it. I likewise forward a piece of oae of your prepared bolts, Which by some accident got wet through seven or eight folds, And was not discovered till quite dry, when I made 'a lower studsail of it, which has been used the passage home, and is perfectly good. Any other canvas, I think, would have beeri, u nder similar c i rcumstances, totally useless. _ Wishin g y ou every success which your discovery merits, I ni Ge ntlemen, , your , obedient servant, (Signed) W.

ADVER SE 111E1VT, signed COCKER, issued brthe Secretary to the New Norwich Insurance CoMpany, impugns the truth of an extract published last suMnier,, shelving the inctease-of duty paid by the County Fire Office for the preceding year. He performs this notable feat by quoting the amount paidfor thc following year, viz. for 1821, and won the necessary difference of the exhibit he at tempts to bevitty. It however your readers will consult any au tbentic source,-&hey will find that the, extract was right to a fraation,and if they extend the inquiry to two,three, four,or five yearSliack, they will still find that the increa . se.of duty paid by the County Fire'Offiae has exceeded that of any other Office in the kingdom. In return for the politeness shewn in answering this very, triang questiop,Mr. Id will perhaps condescend to answertWO or three:question, of" some pith and moment."

AT the urgent requisition of numerous and zealous Friends, and also, in deference to the strong sense of the necessity for such an 'undertaking which exists, EDWARDS and SAVAGE have adopted the resolution of en gaging in the establishment of a PUBLIC JOURNAL, and hale advanced a considerable way in. the most extensive arrange mentS for the handsome and effective execution of this design. The Journal which they hope in a short time to present to the public favoiii, - will be established upon one simple founda tion, equally dear and interesting, : and that is-:--THE MAIN TAINING OF THE GENUINE. AND VITAL PRINCIPLES OF OUR GLORIOUS CONSTITUTION, AS. ESTABLISHED IN CIIURCH AND STATE: This brief exposition of the mother principle . upon which their undertaking rests, the Pro prietors humbly conceive is sufficient to - recommend it to every real Friend to true Civil Liberty. For no thinking man can mistake the character of the present times-,can view with dis regard the drift of those desperate theorieS which are pressing with the full force of their hostility and power against those Institutions which should be held by the British race amongst things the most sacred; because, it is within those Institutions that the spirit of British Freedom_ is enshrined and preserved, --and because it is owing to those,.and to the immeasurable energies of which they form the salient spring of supply, that we are indebted for the immortal triumph obtained over that tawdry despotism, which was the offspring of the French Revo lution ; and to the same source also is Europe indebted for its redemption from an afflicting and a grinding military vassal age. By means of those Institutions, as the fountain-head of our national power—just such as they have been handed down to the living generations, UNCHANGED by metaphysical ex periment, and ieresAcairicEn to abstract projects about go vernment,—the noblest and the grandest ends have been ob tained : the Confederation of a hostile world has been defeated and crumbled at one time,—at another, the languishing Na tions of Europe have been refreshed, their fears converted. to courage, and their despair to hope ; and, during the mighty contest, in which the powers of the British Empire were un veiled in such awful virtue and splendour, the enslaved mind every where was taught to pant for disenthralment,—and to all Nations, Communities and Sects, something of a generous desire was imparted for that Liberty which for so long a time has been the happy enjoyment of the genuine Sons of the English Constitution ! kor obligations of such paramount value, and for results so splendid and illustrious, much is due to the jealous anxiety with which the principles of our Constitution have been guarded by the manly reason and spirit of the Empire—much to the reverential zeal with which our Civil and Religious Institutions have been protected against the inroads of spurious and profligate theories, and of those blasphemous experiments that have covered 'with crimes so many other Nations arid States ; and a vast portion to those able and honest men who presided over the destinies of the Empire. The spirit which served to resist those awful en croachments upon the national welfare is the offspring of that sober thought that still directs and influences the course of British Public Opinion, even when its counsels are unheard and its operations unseen amid the occasional uproar created by popular infatuation. To act auxiliary to this spirit—to sup , port it, and to nourish it by all the means which truth and reason abundantly supply, is at least a generous and an ho nourable task; and it is one, which the loyal and enlightened of every description, it is to be hoped, will not grow weary of cheering in the execution. To them the Proprietors of THE CONSTITUTIONALIST; or,CORK MORNING POST; look with honest confidence, in the attempt which they are com mencing. The Proprietors intentionally avoid resorting to those prefa tory recommendations which generally usher in the publication of new Journals—the Public have long had an opportunity of determining concerning their characters, and to this they ap peal.—They trust it will entitle them to public confidence when they affirm, that the CONSTITUTIONALIST, o r , C ORK MORNING POST, will be published with sound and honest pretensions to the public favour—that no expense or trouble shall be wanting to render it a handsome example of typogra phical industry—that they have formed the most efficient con nexions for procuring the EARLIEST and the most au THEN - - TIC intelligence.-that they have engaged able and experienced literary support—that the most rigid impartiality shall be ad hered to, in the reporting of the Debates in Parliament--in re cording the public occurrences, and all other matters and cir cumstances, whether political or otherwise. To those essen tiol, elementary duties, in the conducting of a Public Journal, the Proprietors pledge themselves to add a continued, anxious, and diligent attention to the Comm erc i a l, A gr i cu l tura l, an d Manufacturing interests of their Country—an industrious re gard to all Judiciary and Magisterial proceedings in this City, and to all other matters of what may be deemed local inte rest. It is in truth the earnest purpose of the Proprietors of the CONSTITUTIONALIST, to deserve the favour and confidence which have invited and encouraged them to the Pe riodical Press ; and it will constitute their most ambitious re quital, if the Patrons who have called them to their new post shall be satisfied. To the busy orders of life and to advertising friendsof all descriptions, the CONSTITUTIONALIST will hold out more inducements than can be specified in this place, as from the encouragement already received, and the extensive circu lation which the Proprietors anticipate upon the surest grounds, the greatest publicity , will be afforded to WANTS and DE sLREs, not only in this Province and Ireland in general, but in the Sister Kingdom. The Proprietors hope their Journal will afford some excite ment to that mass of talent which they are convinced slumbers in comparative rest in this City and County, and they trust they shall succeed in inviting some share of its exertions to the space which shaltbe always reserved for Literary contributors. It may not be out of place to remark, that the present mode of dispatching his Majesty's Malls for the South of I re l a nd, has disposed the Proprietors to select a Morning instead of an Evening Publication ; as by that plan, though at no small in crease to their labours,. they will.be enabled to give both their Town and Country. Subscribers the most recent intelligence, at the usual charge for Newspapers in this City. " In soliciting from the Public a generous share of their pa: tronage, E. and S. have again to add that their warmest en deavours shall be used in inculcating LOYALTY TO THE SO VEREICIN—SUBJECTION TO TIIE LAWS, AND VENERA TION FOR THAT GOVERNMENT UNDER WHICH WE HAVE THE HAPPINESS TO LIVE A FREE AND INDE PENDENT PEOPLE. Castle-street, Cork, March, 1822. THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1822. 1.116 LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THEOAILY MORNING PAPERS; April 4, 1822. [MORNING CIIRONI,GLE.I It is the report in a quarter possessing access to correct information on the ,subject, that the expectations entertained -with respect to the ac ceptance of the Russian Ultimatum by : Turkey have not been realized. •If Alexander bad been induced to, forego his pretensions founded on Treaties, thereby renouncing the most favourable opportunity that could present itself for gaining the great object of 'Russian ambition for the best part of a century, and risking I:'4e"Usual mode in which dissatisfaction is ei:Nssed in Russia, _all in deference to the - Holy I'lliance—then there might have been abetter chance of peace: But the Emperor has, it seems,: never varied. We have always been impressed with the difficulty amounting_ almost to impossibility of managing the TUrks ; and the thing has turned out, we understand, just as we anticipated. No. sooner had the news of the acceptance been promulgated at Constantinople, than the pub lie became enraged, and the Divan catching; the alarm, 0,-Jertnined not to accept the Ultima tum. This deliberation is said - to have taken place on the 28th February. Our Government people say they have had no account .of the sort, but there is something in their manner which leads to the belief that they know more than they choose at present to tell. There is no doubt of a private letter having been received froM Con stantinople, dated 25th February, confirming the account of the stipulations of the Ultimatum hav ing been accepted, though it was stated at\ the same time that this was brought about with great . difficulty. The account it:this letter, and that of the subsequent rejectimi on the 28th, are per fectly reconcileable with each other. [NEW TIMES.] We have again to record a proof of the bene ficial effect of that most admirable hittitution, the Constitutional Association. It had long been the aim of the great wholesale venders of sedi tion in London to impregnate with their infamous principles the minds of the manufacturing popu lation in Manchester : and a wretched old man of 70, a bookseller named Reddish, though tot tering on the brink of the •grave, had undertaken to be the agent of this nefarious traffic. The Police of Mauchester, with laudable vigilance, fixed their eyes on his proceedings, and sent a person to buy several of pamphlets. They were all of a scandalous and seditious nature; but the worst was one entitled 44 The Political Dictionary, or Corruption's Glossary," (the same for which a true bill has been found against Dolbt in the Metropolis)4and which is replete with mos virulent abuse of the King, the Constitution, the Government, the Laws, th Judges, and the Par liament. This work, therefore, the Constittitional Association selected for prosecution. Reddish at first pleaded Not Guilty ; but as the time of trial approached, he communicated to the prose cutors an affidavit, stating that he was 70 years of age, and in a very infirm state of health ; that since the prosecution had been instituted, he had given up the bookselling business, and would not return to it again ; and offering to plead Guilty, and enter into recognizances for his good beha viour, provided he should be spared any further punishment. The Association, anxious to temper justice with mercy, agreed to these terms ; and thus another verdict, on another libel, has con firmed the proofs before, given of the vast utility of this Society in promoting the interests of morality, law, and the Constitution. [THE TIM ES.] Sir Francis Burdett's motion for the liberation of Henry Hunt has been postponed till the 24th. To treat this subject with the utmost delicacy, we must say, that all men were .surprised at the length of Hunt's imprisonment; and it is impos sible to deny (in fact, no man can deny it in ear nest) but that in passing that sentence, circum stances were taken into consideration, which had not been tried by a Court and Jury, namely, the antecedent life and practices of the defendant.— 'A remission of the sentence, however, or of any part of it, by the CTOWII, would, we are ready to acknowledge, have been in the first instance unwise, because it might have appeared to cast a reflection upon the Judges : but since it has been discovered that even that sentence has been ag gravated by the severity with which it has been inflicted, it would have been no reflection upon any man to have suffered the prisoner to buy out the future duration of his confinement by its past severity. What a powerful effect was pro duced upon the public mind, both here and iu France, by the gentle sentence which was passed upon Sir Robert 'Wilson, Mr. Bruce, and Mr. Hutchinson, for saving Lavalette. The de fendants might by law have been sentenced to two years imprisonment. We can well recollect the agreeable feeling which was produced, by the sentence of three months' confinement. The most determined enemies of the Bourbons were silenced, or forced to acknowledge that the Judges had acted most wisely for the interests of the reigning family. There was no murmur of dissatisfaction any where. Government acquired the reputation of being strong enough to shew mercy. It is, besides, astonishing that Ministers cannot understand the policy of humanity, even exclusively of the religious obligation which all men are under to forgive their enemies. If Hunt were let out now, it would be clear to every one that he owed his liberty to the clemency of the Government; and let him conduct himself how he might, he must do them service. If, from a sense of. obligation, he were temperate and mild - in ,his. future proceedings, they would • have the advantage of the altered tone : perhaps he might even .be cast off by his followers, as too tame for their purposes. if he recommenced his reforming career with equal violence, to the other faults, with which he has been reproached, would be added that of ingratitude ; and as the fate.of Old Cobbett shows the appearance.of .some =oral qualities is necessary even in those who lead the meanest of mankind, Government Trould have gained by the apparent: deterioration of charac ter in one, of its adversaries. Should the motion .of Sir Francis Burdett fail, whenever Hunt dOes come forth from his prison, he will come forth as a martyr,.and• be will be hailed, cheered,- and so laced by admiring myriads: If the only legal object of•human punishment be the correction of offence, the end of this punishment, thus unwisely pro tracted, will be to increase,.offence,' and to tuu.l-' tiply incalculably the partisans . and friends' of the offender. Hunt will .be - thought to he re, tained in prison simply and exclu4wrly froth a vindictive feeling. And if, as is acknowledged on all sides, he has, from the manner of his_oon finement, suffered more than the Judges intended to inflict, it is now proper to ask—what compen r sation is to be made him for his excess of punish ment ? A proper leniency towards him for the remaining part of his term cannot undo the rigours of the past. He is, therefore,an aggrieved • subject. [MORNING POST.] The proceedings in the House of Commons last night, call for some observations. Mr. Ben net, it will be seen, was gratified with one , of his 46 small discussions" on the Agricultural Re port, and if we are to have a few more, each of the same description, we think it would be very difficult for the lion. Member to find any corner of & debate small enough for him to hide in,,by, the time they are concluded. The discussion was provoked by Mr. Benett, of Wiltshire, who, in presenting a Petition from that county,. launched info various calculations, to shew the great distress of the agricultural classes, labourers, tenants, and- landowners, and also to inveigh against the Report which had been lately d upon the table, During the next foftnieW - the country,he thought, would be plunged into despair at not finding any reduction of taxation recom mended by the Committee, nor a measurf that sort introduced before the recess by Minaters. Mr. Ellice, of Coventr ,followed up the . opening speech by a long an rather inconsistent state ment off-Agricultural grievances and their causes. Besides the sins of commission which the Com mittee was guilty of,som heavy ones of omission were also _chargeable upsn it, and those princi pally in not doing what the lion. Member him self, as we have said, attempted, namely, to trace the manifold causes of the existing distress.—Mr. Peel's Bill of 1819 came in for the honour of al most all the evil ) but still it ought to be devoutly adhered to—the Report was nothing but a tissue of nostrums, while any reduction of taxation would. afford but trifling relief—the large recent sales of wheat in the corn-market were caused by the wetness of last harvest which rendered it unsafe for the farmer to retain his cern—the Currency Bill of 1819, however, he repeated, was the origin of all the mischief, though he confessed it had most materially benefited all the working classes of the conntry, by lowering the price of provisions and other necessaries one-half, while no fall, comparatively speaking, had taken place in wages. The Honourable Member assured the House at the same time, that he was the friend of the consumer, and he principally stigma tized the Report, because its sole object was to raise the price of corn. Mr. Frankland Lewis had often heard Mr. Peel's Bill ar raigned, but, strange to say, he had never heard a single Honourable Gentleman approve of infringing upon that law, much less repealing it. He also truly observed, that the remission of taxes was not the business of the Committee, but of the House, nor was the object of the Report either to increase the prohibition on the price of corn, but to make a salutary change in the mode by which the principle of the Corn Bill at present operated. In these sentiments respecting the Committee, Mr. Western (also belonging to it) fully concurred. He thought, notwithstanding, the measures proposed inadequate to the exigency of the times, though they were, even in his opi nion, conceived in a proper spirit. [MORNING HERALD.] We yesterday gave the Report of the Agricul tural Committee without any observation. It does not appear, on perusal, to be the most-katis factory document of its kind.—There is a disre gard of arrangement. The sentences are run to a length which produces obscurity, and there are instances in `which the Committee have scarcely made themselves intelligible. For instance; how are the conclusion of the second paragraph and the beginning of the third to be reconciled to reason or to each other ? It may be true that the quantity of British wheat, &c., sold at Mark lane, from the first of November to the first of Alarch last, exceeded the quantity sold in the corresponding months for the last twenty years ; but if, as expressly stated, this increased quantity was sold, how can that be called an excess of supply beyond de mand ? Is it not rather to be inferred that the demand has risen with the supply ? The Report scarcely rises in its tone even to faint recom mendation, and confines itself rather to throwing out mere suggestions, accompanied with observa tions—sometimes just—sometimes disingenuously or timidly reserved—at other times, makinc , ad- PRICE SEVEN PENCE. • ' missions which, however true, look like 'apses of indiscretion, considering the influence under which the deliberations are 'supposed to have taken place, Was it timidity, or interest, .or a vain attempt to manage conflicting interests, 'opinions, aid parties, that induced the 'COM 'mittee, In stating. (or rather slurring over) the causes, of the great increase of agricultural supply, to omit altogether the occurrence of twO or three successively abundant harvests, the extraordinary quantity of waste land ,blade amble, and the facilities afforded by the em ployment of agricultural machinery ? Again— the Committee indirectly admit (or rather-assume) that England cannot grow corn at as cheap a rate as other countries, and there they stop short, leaving the ~:re4Or or hearer of the Report supply, as he must inevitably, the cause of tli i itt difference—viz.. the great excess of taxation which the people of this country are loaded with, as compared with the people of' the Continent, — We do . not mean 'to foment a quarrel between The Committee and the - Ministers; but we call hot help saying: that this partial admission; of one of the consequences pf taxation is an " un kinder cut" than the most violent outcry of the, very Radicals against" the burdens under which the people groan." [BRITISH TRESS.] The House of Lords adjourned yesterday even ing to Thursday,,the 18th, and the House of Com mons•to Wednesday, the 17th of this month. The Agriculturallieport was made the subject of some interesting and important observations in the House of Commons, from which may be collect ed the disappointment Which must be generally felt throughout the country at the result of the labours of-the COmmittee. High hopes, we fear, had been entertained of the. henefits which were' to be derived frOm the investigation of the .pe titions relating to, the distressed state_ .of the agri ,•, cultufe of the country; but, if these hopes looked to an elevation in the price of corn, 'they . must of necessity have been disaPpoint 'ed. The plan proposed of enabling the Op vernment to advance money upon the depo sit of corn, is not altogether free from objection.; but considering every circumstance, it is perhaps the most advantageous method that could be de vised of accomplishing the purpose of distribut- ing loans of money, among the suffering agricul turists. It might; indeed, be presumed that even now farmers could, without much difficulty, ob-. tain- loans of money upon the deposit of corn from private persons ; and if such could be effected, no doubt can be entertained that it would be much better for the country, and even. for the distressed farmers themselves, that the prices of agricultural produce should be suf fered to find their proper level, and the far mers to work out their own, preservation, than that the Government should be enabled to interfere in the private concerns of individuals. We are not fond of having recourse to these ex traordinary means, and nothing but a very unu sual concurrence of circumstances—some nodes tindice dignus, can ever justify so wide a depar ture-from the established principles of free trade and self-adjusting markets. It may be well to con sider whether the earnest desire now evinced by the Landholders " to dispose of their produce at any prices," arises from the pressure of necessity, or from an apprehension that by the operation of some trick or speculation the averages will be o much raised as to bring the permissive part of the Act of the 55th of the late King into ac tion, and thereby overwhelm domestic agricul ture with a flood of foreign corn. The Land holders labour under a constant panic; they never cease to dread the sudden influx of foreign pro- - duce, so that their operations can never be wholly free front embarrassment and alarm. This is one of the evils of the present corn law ; a successful speculation by some few interested individuals may derange the natural, prices in the markets, alter the averages, and open the ports without duty, limitation, or condition, to the unrestrained importation of the surplus or the low-priced corn of the Continent. MAGISTERIAL RESIGNATIONS AND RE MOVALS.—In consequence of GEORGE BOLTON MAINwARING, Esq., the presiding Magistrate at the Police Office, Great Marlborough. street, having resigned, it is expected that Allan Stuart Laing, Esq., now Magistrate at Hatton-garden, will be appointed in his room, and that 'William Marmaduke Sellon, Esq. will take Mr. Laing's seat at Hatton-garden. Sir Daniel Williams, many years presiding Magistrate at Lambeth-street Office, has sent in his resignation to the Secretary of State, and Mr.- Story, of the Thames Police Office, has resigned also. An advertisement appeared in our last paper, signed a " Prudent Man," and directed against the NORWICH UNION INSURANCE SOCIETY, for which we take the earliest opportunity of ex pressing our unfeigned regret. We have always held it to be a sacred principle, in the manage ment of our paper, in no case to insert any thing that can either wound the feelings or hurt the interest of any individual, and it has been ac cordingly a standing rule, often and anxiously enforced, that all advertisements, which contained matter in the least degree doubtful in its ten dency, should be submitted to the Editor, as it is impossible that he can read over all the matter previous to its appearance in the paper. By some unaccountable neglect this rule was not, in the present instance, complied with, and the ad vertisement in question having got insertion unawares, was not observed until it was too late to remedy the evil. We can only repeat, that this mistake has occasioned the most unspeakable vexation, and that we are anxious to make any reparation that may still be in our power.- -(Caledonian Mercurh March 28, 1822.)
