Now that these political Phaetons are to take the practical reins, the result is inevitable destruction. The earliest pages of history, indeed all her Pages, have told us, that power and pre-eminence were the natural attendants upon the possessors of - thecarrying trade. It would be an insult to your knowledge and understanding to attempt to illustrate this, you know it well ; and, Sir Matthew, you. must further . know, that the man who devised the humiliation of the Dutch by what is erroneously called the 12th of Charles the second, &c. &c. I mean Cromwell, was one, (though his means were such as I will not attempt entirely to justify) whose ends were, the security and prosperity of his country.

The President for the current year, Lieutenant-Cob B. CouLso x, of Blenkin sopp Castle, filled the Chair. The two Vice-Chairs were occu pied by JAMES G. CLARKE, and J. LASIBTON LORAINE, Esqrs. Owing to the unavoidable absence of several of the Members, there was not so full a Meeting as we have been ac customed to see on this day. Maugre this circumstance, however, the efficiency and attention of the Honourable Chair man, aided by individual sentiment, powerfully kept alive that tone of feeling which ever ought so pervade and characterize the political supporters of that truly great Man, " the Pilot who weather'd the Storm." DOCKWRAY-SQUARE, MAY 27, 1822. " Universal peace and good-will would render laws unneces sary for the regulation of trade." If the benevolent principle bore universal and unlimited sway, all regard to partial or particular interests would merge in a comprehensive sense of the interests of the Whole." ( Abstract from a recent Pamphlet.) 'TO SIR M. W. RIDLEY, BART., Member of Parliament for the ancient Sea Port of I,Tewcastie upon Tyne, and one of die Committee on Foreign Trade. Sea—Your situation of Representative of Newcastle, and one of the Committee on Foreign Trade, must plead my excuse for selecting you as a proper nerson to address, on the subject of the proposed relaxation of our Navigation - Laws. This is no party question; the distinction of Whig and Tory is nothing in its discussion, and I am convinced that all it wants is to be understood : for certain I am, that if the wealthy and unques tionably well-intentioned representatives of the great mari time districts were aware of the magnitude of the interest, in the destruction of which they are'about to engage, they would pause as they would on the brink of a precipice, before they gave in to such a measure. It certainly is not one of the least mortifying features of thii case, that the shipping interest is considered ignorantly impa tient of changes, which, it is asserted, will ultimately be of no detriment to them ; and so strongly has this mistaken notion got possession of the minds of our representatives, that I am afraid nothing so feeble an advocate as myself can urge will have any effect. But whilst every theoretic knave or fool shall clamour for his abstract notions of what he considers right, the proprietors of the commercial marine of England may surely be allowed to expostulate upon measures which will practically effect their destruction.

" The Royal Family" followed ; and then " the Duke of York and the Army," and " the Duke of Clarence and the Navy"—each of which toasts were drank with the usual ho nours, succeeded by appropriate music. The next toast was " the Memory of our late revered King, the father of his people, the early Patron of Mr. Pitt, and his steady supporter through life."—( Drank in solemn silence, standing.)—Music—" Dead March in Saul." The PRESIDENT now rose, and in a feeling manner ad, verted to what might properly enough be termed the toast of the day—he of course meant the Memory of that great Man—that unparalleled Statesman whose wisdom and talents had contri buted so essentinlly to the honour and prosperity of his native Country.—(Great applause.)—He (the Chairman) would not trespass on their patience by re-stating what had with so much ability been frequently uttered in that room, in just praise of the Immortal Son of Chatham : but this he would say—steady, inflexible, and incorruptible as he had ever been, his memory deserved well to be held in honour by every Briton—by every true patriot..—(Loud and continued applause.)—The toast was then drank in a bumper, and followed by nine most hearty cheers.

A Special Jury was impanelleu Hi Plato ca.c, to LI Aire inta and assess damages on a bond for 12,0001. executed to the plain tiff by defendant, under the following circumstances :—The defendant, a Clergyman, had been tutor to the noble plaintiff, and in 1814 a living, in the gift of his Lordship, becoming va cant, he offered it to his Lordship upon certain conditions, which the defendant undertook to perform ; and the beter to secure such performance, executed the bond in question, sub jecting himself, by a breach of covenant, to a penalty not ex ceeding 12,0001. His Lordship had a brother, the Hon. W. Watson, preparing for the church, and the condition of the bond was, that the defendant, on being required to do so, should resign the living in question in favour of this individual. Mr. Watson having qualified himself to enter on the living, the defendant was required to fulfil the conditions of his bond, and give up the living. This, however, he refused to do, and upon that refusal the present proceedings were instituted. The execution of the bond, &c. having been regularly proved, the Solicitor-General, on the part of the defendant, submitted that this bond was an illegal instrument, and therefore that legal proceedings - could not be instituted upon it. As to the facts of the case, he should be able to prove such as would, at all events, reduce the damages to which the plaintiff was en titled far below the penalty mentioned in the bond. The living in question was indeed nominally worth 8071. a-year ; but this value was very much reduced by the present de pressed state of agriculture. Besides this, the defendant was entitled to deduct 611. a-year for land-tax and other out-goings, and 2001. for a curate. This would reduce even the nominal value of this living to 5501. Mr. Watson, in whose favour he was required'to resign, was 24 years of age, and that accurate calculator, Mr. Morgan, of the. Equitable Office, would tell the Jury that a fair remuneration to him would be fourteen years' purchase, or 7,7001. This would be supposing the living really worth 5501. a year • but he would prove that it fell far short of that sum now, whatever it might have been in the flourishing days of agriculture. In addition to this also, he submitted that the Jury would have to deduct from the damages to which the Noble Plaintiff was entitled, 14001. and upwards, which the de fendant had expended in building a new parsonage-house, the old one being, at the time be took possession of the living, in a state of utter dilapidation. All these circumstances, he con tended, would reduce the damages to a sum little more thhn nominal. The Learned Counsel called witnesses in support of this state ment. The CHIEF-JU ST ICE summed up, and, in doing so, ob served, he would not now give any opinion whether this bond was a legal or an illegal instrument. With that question they had nothing to do on the present occasion. The parties, if they chose, 'might hereafter have the opinion of the highest tri bunal in the kingdom on that subject. The question the Jury would now have to decide would be, what was the amount of datnages due to the plaintiff? as the Jury would recollect, that although the bond set out a penalty of 12,0001. they were not bound to give that sum, but only so much of it as they consi dered fairly due to the plaintiff. His Lordship then recapitu lated the facts of the case to the Jury, and observed that he left the question of amount of damages entirely with them. The Jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 10,0001. Yesterday a Sermon was preached in St. Pa trick's Chapel, Sutton-street, Soho-square, for the benefit of the distressed Irish poor.—A considerable collection was made. The parish of St. Giles's, Cripplegate, has obtained the sum of 1691. by a collection from house to house, in aid of the gene ral subscription for the poor Irish. Amongst the least ostentatious donations in favour of the Irish Poor, is that of Mrs. PALMER, of West Moulsey, Surrey, who has directed her agent in Ireland to distribute fifteen hun dred pounds amongst the poor cottagers on her estates in the county of Mayo. • Past good Fortune is a fair precedent for fu ture. Bisu, whose success in selling Capitals is proverbial, sold last Lottery Both the Two of 220,000, drawn last day, and he hopes, and the Public expect, that he will sell the Two of 820,000 in the present, which, with all the other Capitals and all the other Prizes must be drawn in One Day to-morrow. Blues Offices will re main open until 12 o'clock to-night. " The Established Church," upon which occasion the Vicar of Newcastle, the Rev. John Collinson, the Rev. Thomas Allason, and the Rev. J.

Colonel CouLsoN rose, and acknowledged how deeply he felt the honour of the compliment that had been paid him. He was most proud in the part to which their kindness had elected him ; and he trusted he would be able to acquit him self throughout the year to their entire satisfaction—at least his efforts should not be wanting to merit their approbation.— (Applause.) The healths of the Vice-Presidents being given, 1111% JAMES CLARKE rose, and said, while he stood up to acknowledge with gratitude the high honour that had been ex tended to his honourable colleague and himself, he could not rest satisfied without saying a few words upon the occasion that had that day brought them together.. He was indeed proud in avowing himself a genuine Pittite—he was proud to bear his humble testimony at the shrine of such transcendant, such unparalleled talents as were those which had distinguished the never-to-be-fbrgotren career of the illustrious William Pitt. Not only was our dear native land preserved in all the plenitude of its happiness and glory, but, through a wise per severance in the principles which that Great Man had laid down, his successors had been enabled, completely to frustrate the Tyrant, whose ceaseless object was the subjugation of Europe. But Europe was saved ; and the human race were delivered from the most serious bondage that ever threatened them.--(Great applause.)—He feared what he was saying to Gentlemen, who were all as well informed as himself, might appear a tautology upon former speeches which they had heard in that room. No matter—he was _carried away by the ur gency of his feelings, and he indulged the hope that his kind friends would not misunderstand his fervour: • " BRITAIN, as Europe owes to thee, That she no longer bends the knee Beneath a Tyrant's sway, And PITT the vast achievement plann'd, Let every Briton, heart and hand, Hail this his natal day !"--(Great applause.) Mr. WILLIAM LORAINE rose to propose a toast, which he felt assured they would all drink in a bumper. It was known to them that the Northumberland and Newcastle:upon-Tyne Pitt Club had not long ago solicited the honour of Lord Vane Stewart to take the Presidential Chair, as upon this day. He (Mr. L.) being in London, had had the honour of learning from the Noble Lord the sentiments he entertained, in consequence of the invitation that had been transmitted to him ; and most willingly (continued Mr. L.) would his Lordship have come down to Newcastle, in obedience to the wishes of the Members of the Club, of which his Lordship a-owed his pride in being' an associate, had it been at all practicable to do so. But, ex clusive of some other hindrances, there was an insurmountable difficulty in the way, inasmuch as his Majesty had commanded the presentation of a piece of Plate to the Officers of the 10th Regiment of Dragoons, upon the 29th of May, which warthe very day following the Pitt Anniversary; and as he (Lord Stewart) was to be his Majesty's proxy on the occasion, it would be altogether impossible to go so far down into the North. But; (added Mr. L.) his Lordship stated, in very courteous terms, " should the Northumberland Pitt Club continue in the same mind, and feel disposed hereafter to invest me with the honour of the presidential functions, they may rest assured I will, with much pleasure, accept the trust, and feel truly happy in doing all in my power' to merit their approbation."—(Great ap plause.)— h e health of Lord Stewart was then drank in a bumper, and with loud cheering. The health of " Colonel Brandling and the Northumberland Cavalry" havindbeen given— Major Sir CHARLES LORAINE, Bart. rose and said, he had much pleasure in returning his hearty thanks for the honour just conferred upon Col. Brandling and the corps to which he belonged. Their objects were strictly constitutional, and he trusted they would ever be found deserving of their country's friendly estimation.—(Great applause.) " Our illustrious townsmen, the Earl of Eldon and Lord Stowell," prefaced by a neat speech from Mr. William Lo raine. Drank with great applause, and three times three. The essentials of the day only are here communicated. All the interesting particulars would indeed be a matter too much in extenso for a mere post letter ; Suffice it to say; though we have generally beheld a fuller meeting, we never witnessed a more cordial unanimity than what prevailed throughout the whole of 4 a long and most agreeable evening. It is under these considerations that I am again induced to address you. The result of the proposed change or abrogation of our ma ritime law, will be slowly, but certainly, to transfer the prin cipal portion of the foreign carrying trade into the hands of foreign States, who are anxiously grasping at what their sa gacity has demonstrated to be the main cause of the power of this kingdom. This must be obvious, when it is known that the alteration proposed 'will permit the Dutch or Americans, when they are investing a cargo in India for the European market, to con sider the state of the British demand for such Commodities, as much as their own, as they can without even the farce of a re shipment, pour their cargoes into the London or Liverpool markets, with nearly the same facility as the British merchant and that the soul of commerce, as Mr. Robinson calls it, will avail itself of such an opportunity to supply this great consum ing country, is as clear on the one hand, as the destruction of our marine power by such a concession is on the other. The above argument is equally applicable to investinents, and returns, from every other port or place in the universe, and by every other nation. For instance, let the map of Europe de monstrate how admirably and intermediately Denmark, Sweden, Holland, and the Hanse Towns are situated for carry ing on the trade of Russia with this country. Even in time of peace, it will be well worth their while, supposing they only . obtain a rate of freight equal to British ships ; the absence of taxation in a greater or less degree in their respective countries, will threefold more than repay them for the trifling detention occasioned by the farcical - call at their respective ports to give the goods a species of nationality. Bow admirably is Copenhagen adapted to the use of the sub jects of his Danish Majesty for such a purpose ! They must brush the walls of that capital as they sail from Petersburgh to London. Bergen or Drontheirn is equally convenient to the enterprising subjectsof the indefatigable Charles John, for the arshihgel trade. The remembrance, of their former power and and delight the opportuniiy aftorifecrstuati"eassintisa.splidiag in the supply (through the medium of their vessels) of the mo dern consuming Carthage,—of a country, which, from a variety of causes, consumes as much, it may be asserted, of tise bulky articles of transit, say wood, cotton, hemp, tallow, &c. as all the rest of the world put together. That these articles, in point of intrinsic value, are not the most important, I admit; but, in a maritime point of view, they are invaluable, from the quantity of tonnage they employ, and from the number of sea men they create. The calculating Dutchman knows well their value; he can expatiate upon the expedition of his ancestors up the Thamei and Medway ; he' boasts of his De,Ruyters and Tromps, and truly anticipates in these abrogations, the harbingers of humiliation to his commercial rival. Nor is America behind in calculation : an empire created, perhaps by the folly of one Ministry, is to be accelerated in its race of progression by thefolly of another; and as there ate no feuds . so hostile or inveterate as national or family ones, so, probably, the united hostility of all Europe put together does not equal that of this rising country towards us,—a country whose capa bility of increase seems unlimited, and which, in little more than the period of half the ordinary life of man, has attained. means of contending with us, on what has heretofore been con sidered our peculiar element, hardly to be credited. The tonnage,of the commercial marine of the United States, by recent returns to congress, is stated at 1,300,000 tons, ornearly so, for the sake of round numbers ; that of Great Britain, by Parliamentary returns, at 2,00,000. Now, in this return of our own country, an immense mass of river craft is included, which America cannot have. As this statement contains every registered vessel in the kingdom, .an idea of the number of very small vessels included in this return may be conceived, when it isknown that the average of the entire of our tonnage is only 116 tons for 20,148 ships, the entire of the British com mercial marine. Now, when these two statements are before. the eye of the British Legislator ; when he reflects how short a period has created this alarming approximation to naval equality ; when reflects on the amazing march in the rank of nations, which these people are making, he will surely pause before he sanc tions measures calculated to give increased acceleration to their rapid progression. The previous arguments have 'been founded on a state of peace, when freights are extremely low ; but what will be the effect when Britain shall be again involved in a war ? necessary rise in insurance, wages, and equipments, will occa sion such a rise in the rate of freights, that the forests of the Continent will, by the magic of pecuniary inducement, be ra pidly transformed into additional fleets of merchants ships, which will, from the security of their neutrality, engross the entire of the maritime trade. This is no flight of fancy; it isthe inevitable result. It was verified to a great degree by the li cence system,•which called into existence in the ports of the North of Europe, numerous fleets of vessels, and created hosts of seamen, who would never have existed had it not been for the operation of that baneful measure. • This contemplated change is making perpetual what, under the licence system, was only temporary. An expedient, an ex periment, which paid upwards of 18,000,0001. of foreign freight in the year 1811 ; which at the expence of the best interests of Britain, enriched the sea-ports of the North, in a manner that to be believed must have been seen ; but still the measure was but a temporary one. Ilope still remained. Repeal the navi gation laws, and that too is fled. The distress of the present generation, and the execration of the future s will be the result. I would now, Sir. Matthew, ask you for what are these con cessions made ; where is the equivalent ? What are we to re ceive in return;. from what quarter is this " el dorado" to arise? I am aware the conclusion of the Lords' report tells us it will arise from sources which the human imagination cannot con ceive; and'that Mr. Robinson tells us no calculation can be made of what the soul of commercelis capable of effecting. Now this may be very fine, and very conclusive, to meal with that poetical cast of imagination which he and his followers seem to possess ; but to those unendowed with thisintuitive preconcep tion, men who only know their fellow men and nations as they really are ; to men of this stamp; who can only argue of the future from their knowledge of the past, it is totally incompre hensible. Surely some tangible benefit might be shewn us ; something worth risking the destruction of ourinaritime power for, ought to be demonstrated ; but no; nothing of the kind is thought necessary, the assurances of these illuminati are suffi cient; according to them the lion and the lamb are to lie down together, the•cupidity of nations is to • cease, and a species of Before I close this letter, 1 would, if I might without offence, name a race now so abject and despised, but once the pride and boast of Britain, the theme of the poet's praise, and the legisla tor's eulogy, the hardy, the brave, the generous, the thought less seaman. He, too, with all his attributes, is to be sacrificed, to be thrown by as the worthless deteriorated tool, no longer necessary to your ambition or your fears. Already is he the victim of deprivation in a degree far beyond any other grade in society. I dare not draw the picture which 1 know to be ap plicable, in but too many instances, to the state of himself and his ,haulcss family, the victims of vice, occasioned by hope. men, for an undefined and incomprenenswie - ti. ,,,, ,, titude of the worst sort; but these relaxations will do more-- they will annihilate them. Few or no seamen are reared, and the future Nelsons of the world must chuse their followers 'in regions where they arc better appreciated than they are in Britain. The length of my letter admonishes me to conclude. Every sentence I have written might be enlarged upon so as to swell the matter beyond all reasonable limits for a publication of this nature. I have freely used the privilege of my birth in my , address to you,' as my virtual representative, I. trust without offe - nce. To conclude—the ship-owners may say, with the frog in the fable, it may be play to some, but it is death to :is. This must be my apology, if` one be necessary. I am, with great respeet, Your most obedient , servant, MERCATOR. P. S. Since this letter was written, I see it announced by tle Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the tonnage duty is to b.: taken off, as an equivalent for the injury he admits the ship ping interest will sustain by the proposed changes. Holy this is to be an equivalent I am at a loss to find out : it appears, go me like taking away a man's income, and then telling him you will remit the tax upon it. THOMAS MARSHALL, ESQ. [Extract from the Bombay Gazette, Sept. 13, 1821.1 Died, at Dharwa, on the 26th of August, THOMAS MAR SHALL, Esq. a Surgeon on this Establishment, and Statistical Reßorter, a situation for which he was selected by the present Governor of Bombay, solely in consideration of his rare talents, qualifications, and acquirements. His nfitural abilities were of the first order, his perception unusually clear and quick, his memory most retentive, and his judgment unerring. His clas sical and scientific education—his, constant habit of general reading, and his keenness of observation, were calculated to im prove to the utmost the excellent faculties bestowed on him by Nature. These comprehensive mental powers were exercised with a corresponding degree of diligence and method, and he executed every thing he undertook with admirable ease and ra pidity. Several of his Statistic Reports are no less remarkable for the utility and interest of the information they contain than for the elegance with which they are written.* As a compa; nion no person could be more engaging, his conversation was replete with wit and instruction, and his manners were anima:. ed, cheerful and social.—His acts of benevolence were of 'a ra ture to do him thehl,ghest honotir. Had his health been good the world would have benefitted by his talents and researches ; but unfortunately his body was frail, although ills mind was strong. Two months before his death he wrote to an intimate. medical friend, describing the particulars of his case (which in dicated beyond all doubt the fatal result) with as much preci sion and steadiness as if they related to another and not to him self. The same fortitude was displayed 'to the last hour, 'in. which he was perfectly sensible and collected, and the transition to another world was imperceptible to those who attended him. The extent of the loss to the public service and to society in the death of such a than may easily be'conceived. * We understand these Reports form a part of 3d Volume, now in the press,-of the Transactions of the Bombay Literary Society. The remains of the late lamented EDWARD,JEtt.. were removed this day,from his house in Bolton-row, for interinent in the family burial ground in Norfolk. A great number of Noblemen and Gentlemen, friends of the de. ceased, accompanied the melancholy procession out of towns including the Duke of NORFOLK, Lord PETILE, Mr. HORNYOLD, MT. BLAKE, &C. —Mrs. JERNINGIIAM remains dangerously. ill 'of the same complaint which proved fatal to tl.e deceased.
