R oiAN cxruoues. R . Etwroa,—A 6,,troversy seems to hay , ' " is " 'between The Morning Chronicle and The Courier respecting the Bill which has passed both 11 "ses of Parliament, dispensing %vitt) the ad imuistration of Oaths to ROMAN CATHOLICS be fore th e i r entrance into the Army and Navy.— T 5e Chronicle contends that it is the same Bill whi ch drove the GRENVILLE Administration from T : Qwe r in the year 1807, and triumphs over the Thecnisisteficy of the present Ministry for having Pro posed and carried into effect the very same 11 , eas ure• if it" be the very same measure, the , " r onide may well triumph on the occasion. 'lnc Couch, admits that the Bill is nearly the same in ti il practical effect," but asserts that the Bill, as t ' ll ginally formed, was " crude and indigested." i it be the same measure, its having been crude and indigested" in its construction is of ' ti le. consequence, . as its substance and tendency ar e the chief considerations. Considering the c4 4isteacy of the Courier, the Public may It ell be surprized that it does not resolutely express i ts disapprobation iof a measure which appears to h ave removed one of the barriers of the Established Religion. Well may the Chronicle exult, and de tkre that " all religious distinction is removed as 1° the Military and Naval Service," and state, that there can be in future no obstacle to a Roman Catholic rising to THE COMMAND of an ARMY'; 411 ' to be the Loan HIGH ADMIRAL of England, if t hat Office should cease to be in cominission: . - 11 uut, Sir, though the Courier may not be suffi ciently aware of the tendency of this Bill, 44 the Chronicle may rejoice in its probable co nsequences, it is a measure calculated to e lcite the. utmost alarm in the Protestant world general. The Roman Catholics are known to be So much attached to their faith that they con ceive no man can be saved who does not believe ill it, and that it is meritorious to resort to all possible means to support and extend it. Now, suppose that a Roman Catholic rises to the t ° l 4mand of an Army, may it not be expected that h e will endeavour, as much as possible, to have it teerttited by men of the same religion as him- Se lf, and that if lie sees an opportunity of advancing that Religion by directing his army a gainst the Protestant Church, he will not deem It tt matter of conscience to do so The same ar t4olent will apply in thecase of a RoMan Catholic b ecoming -Lord High Admiral of England, and he S houldthink• proper, after the British Navy has been sufficiently intsfted with Pop Era , to order it% removal to a Roman Catholic Slate, and Itirrender it to the Government The great b ody of the sailors, if Roman Catholics, would NA it highly meritorious to obey his orders. these are by no means imaginary or imprO -441e events, when we consider that Roman C atholics hold the Haan of their CHURCH as IN• tALLIBLE, and consequently would deem it a sa cred duty to obey his orders. And would not IH E Pope himself deem it his duty to promote "le measures witielt I have suggested ) The Chro say4 " that all the Bishops should have "untenanced the Bill is also truly creditable * 0 their sense of justice." Sir, I presume the 11 ". 1 )ch of Bishops must revolt at suet. praise, and 1 " 1 rather be prompted to review the subject ‘ ti th fear and trembling.—l hope you will give i ittibediate insertion to this letter, that 'it may re sell the notice of Parliament before its proroga tion , for the subject appears to me to be of vital lili PGrlance to the interest of the PROTESTANT c It uRCH and the security of the BRITISH CON.

Edw. Chappell, ot t he British Nary." 8,, much for rHy text, Sir, which appears, however, to be the new liberal translation of the real title of an interesting work, called " Narrative ot a Voyage to Hudson's .134 y in his Majesty's ship Rosamond, by Lieut. Edw. Char p,ll, ot the Royal Navy."!!! Again, Sir, in the Number for June 1817, page 450, first column, we are told something of the " National ship Tyne, Capt. Curran," and at page 466 of tl4e same Number, we meet with a most sorrowful euloginna on that " great and good man Lucien Buouaparte " Now, Sir, let the world judge how far these " national expressions" are really national; and let them judge of the p eteAsions to patriotism of the National Knight, for 1 suppose he disdains to be thought a Royal owe ! I waive all animadversions—the facts, I believe, will speak sufficiently for tliewselvv*. Your's, EXAMINATOR. We are sorry to state, that ROBERT STEELE, Esq. Master in Chancery, died yesterday morning. Mr. CooK, Mr. TeowEß, and Mr. FoN-BLANQuE, are each spoken of as his successor in office. The official account of the Ratrigate Harbour trust has been published, from , which it appeals that the .amount of the fund, the 24th of June, 1815, was 32,6711.

PEDESTRIANISM EXTRAORDINARY—Stevens con tinues walking backwards ; on Wednesday night, at 9 o'clock, he bad finished 251 miles, when be re tired much fatigued. Yesterday morning he start ed again, at 15 minutes past five, and at five in the afternoon, he had performed 19 ; 1- miles, making in the whole, since his first starting, 190 miles. Amongst the many pedestrian feats lately exe cuted and attempted, none have attempten any thing so extraordinary as one undertaken by that veteran Pedestrian, BARNETT, who although upwards of 73 years of age, is to commence walk ing in a few days in the neighbourhood, of Lark- - Hall, 500 miles in 250 hours, completing two miles every successive hour, night and day. VRA0111.)1 NA it V a;7( - 1 ItpmAxric ati SL, The remark .hie story of the Fair Rivals (Miss N-- and Miss W--,) which 'lately caused si' great a d sturbanee in t e neighbourhood of Pat son'7, Green, is tics!' in. the recollection -01 our Readers. We were in hopes t hat fire iinp!ea sato conseven•.es resulting . from so unpree;•d,oc esi a rivaiship would, at all event, have been con tiled to the parties imincdiatcly concerned, bate so lately exposed their follies to the public: - We regret, b o o ever, to . state, that the in terest excited by the d:sappointment, jea lousy, and subsequent spit ited erinduct, i\ltss W-- (on the - discovery of her lover's inconstancy), oppo-ted to the ini t ;)cent fault of Miss N--, was likely to have proved fatal to a young Gentleman to ninth respectability in this mi-trop-lis. ,:ents that, a few days ago, a discussio n arose het .xce., and Isis friend, Mr. C-- C--, concerning the pro- Prietvand merit of the different curses pur‘neri by Miss N— anti Miss W— towards each other on a late occasion, the latter contending vehe mently in f,vour of Miss N—, and the former eget:illy warm in the praises , ! r . Mi ss spirited heroism, and affectionate pet severance, in reclaiming the object of her affections, lie could not sufficiently admire. From temperate discussion the conversation sud denly assumed the aspect of a setious dispute, when Mr. 13--, after declaring that he would suppoi t the charac!er and defend the conduct of Miss W— with all his might and vigour, to his latest breath, instantly challenged Mr. C-- to advocate the cause of Miss N--, and stand her champion in the field ; • the offer was im mediately accepted with much seeming avidity, by Mr. C--, who now became more violent than ever in defence of Miss N--. After a lung and severe display of satire and ero (relice in f a vour o f th e belles on both sides, the gall a gentlemen parted with much seeming animosity towards each oth er . Mr. C-- had not long been returned home when lie received a coallenge, requiting his early attendance at a fixed place on a cer.sin day. Thi. consequence was, a meeting between the p rtles,atcotspanied by their seconds, wliich, to avoid all po!Asihility of discovery by the Police, took place on Wednesday morning last, at the early hour of four o'clock, in a retired spo_ a few miles out of town. 'flie part ies exchanged shots the first time without effect, and a reconcilia tion, it teas then hoped, woidd have taken place ; but Mr. B-- immediately demanded further sa tisfaction, declaring, that he was resolved to Jive or (tie for bet whose cause he had espoused. They then again exchanged siotts, when, we regret to add, the latter gentleman was slightly Wounded On the crown of the head, his adversary's ball having perforated his hat, and grazed his skull on it, passage, The Seconds again interfered, and we have ranch pleasure in suiting, that this sin gular dispute was finally amicably adjusted, each party, however, still retaining his former opi nion.—(Morning Post.)

MANsioN.HousE —A young , woman, calling herself Margaret Mohan), apparently not more than 16 years of age, was borne into the Mansion. House on Wednesday by two officers. Her ap pearance evinced great distress and illness. She was immediately conducted to the Compter, wh, re by proper care, sit,• was soon restored to a little strength. St , e stated that she was born in Ha lifax, Nova Scotia, where she had left her fa ther two years since, with the intention of coining to this country. She, however, arrived in Ireland, and:.for some time gained a support by knitting stocLings. Becoming soon afterwards acquainted with a tradesman, he seducol and left her pregnant. Starvation and distress soon stared her in'the face, and to avoid prostitution, she joined a company of mount eb,otks, who were em barking, for Euglantl. At Liverpool she rem4ined with them sotto/ time, but becoming disgusted with their Ai; -- c deserted the company, and set out for Lontloo, pennytess, in the hope Of pro curing a gratuitous passage to her father in Nova Scotia. On her jotoney site fell sick, and was de livered of her infant in a ditch, near to which the owner of a cottage hearing her groans brought her to her home. After a short delay, the fear of being sent to a prison as a vagrant,. induced her to renew her journey, and half-starved and near ly dead, she reached the Metropolis. Previous to her arrival site waited upon a Lady, who hav ing heard her tale, desired her to wait on the Lord Mayor.—The statement of the unfortunate girl excited much interest, and some money was given for her assistance by persons present. The LOrd Mayor ordered her to be taken, every care of until her health was sufficiently restored ; When some future plan would be adopted in her behalf. ENGLISH OPERA.—The Deserter of Naples, one of our most interesting after-pieces, was revived last night at 'this Theatre in the form of a ..illelo dranze.

The whole was well received by a numerous audience. Two Stale prisoners were on Saturday last hrought to Cambridge, from the Secretary of State's OWee, and lodged in the county gaol. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CONSISTORY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS, JULY 10. ADULTEIIY. 13UTIGESS V. BURGESS. This was a snit originally instituted by Mrs. B!iza Burgess, against her linsimuol, for rest it tit ion conju g ai rights. The husband, Boye iii gess, ii;sq. of Clapham Rise, Surrey, put in a counter Acgaiimi in bar of his ‘Tife's claim, praying to be divorced from. her, on the ground of licr adulte• roils intereonrse with a Mr. Thomas Lane, a nailiu.r in t fie Batilsin;-House of Bur gess, Lane, and Co. After an aruuteut of several days upon the evi dence of-the.aduitery, which was contended to he insuili-iently established, Sir William Scott. gave ic.de.ment this day. This case commenced by a citation 01 Mis. Burgess against her husband, ple.nling the mar riage, which took place at Lambeili Church, in August, 1802 ; and that of his having voluntarily separated from her ‘vitliotit jur , t• cause. The hus band, it appeared, to pi,vcitt eNposure, was anxious the separation should be as private as pas sible. Mr. Thomas Lane was introduced to Olt parties about the latter end of I i 3, when it ap peared he met with a disappointment of marriage. His intimacy with the family ni Mr. and Mrs. Burgess continued up to 1816, when. he embarix\ecf for the East Indies, as appeared by his father's deuce, in order to break till all cnninninication Nvi Mrs. Burgess, and had continued abroad ever sitce. The principal evidence of tite adultery arose upon a chit to'the family of Mr. ChathberLitt, of RisT,. in Essex, wh, re .Ir. and Mrs. Burgess were Met by Mr. Lane in Dec. 1815. It was remarked by , the company that Mr. Lane and Mrs. Burgess used to be missing front the rest of the company in the di awing-room, and used to return nearly about the saute time by diluent doors ; and that their at tention to•esen other was that of a mat ked polite ness extremely indecorous between a young single man and a married woman. Ile had been observed on one occasion to sit almost upon her lap. She was seen twice coning out of his bed-room by the servants of Mr. Chamberlain. Sir Wm. SCOTT dbservcd, it was not from one particular circumstance the adultery was to be in ferred, hut from the whole of thrir conduct, coupled with Mrs. Burgess's confession, by which he was of opinion the adultery was sufficiently proved : and therefore the wife must not only be disappointed of her suit, but the Court was bound, both in a legal and Mural point of view, to admit the allegation of tl►e husband ; from Whence the Court pronotinced and decreed the stparatioh prayed for.—Oidered accordingly. COURT OF CIIANCEItY, JULY 10. EGG V. THE WATERLOO BRIDGE COMPAN?. The facts of this case have been already acctt. rately detailed in 'lnc Sure. The present was an application made on the behalf of Mr. Egg, praying Lis Lordship to stay the defendants from proceed ing in an action at law, which his Lordship on the former hearing of the case bud been pleased to direct, on aeconnt of the absence of a very material ,%i t ness wh o was at present" abroad, and of whoso absence Mr. - Egg, by ills affidavit, alleged he was totally unaware, until he had applied at the residence of the person in question to servo hint with a subpenna. An application had been made to the Lord Chancellor., at a time his Lordship was not sitting in the Court, on. which occasion his Lordship was pleased to direct an application to be made to the Judge be fore whom the 'cause was to be tried ; that appli cation had been made, and the Lord Chief Baron had appointed the first day of Sittings in Michael mas Term for tli bearing of the case.

Kin g'4 Counsel, eiirerel the Court, a nit askt d his Hou(;ur's permission to make a Mut ion. Mr. WEALD, from behind the Bar, said, this was contrary to the regulation of the Court, for when motions had got behind the liar, it was the custom of the Court to go through the Bar before King's Cooosel were allot' ed again to wove. If this rule were not persevered in,King's Counsel might come in every five mintnes awl disturb the business the juniors. They were in attendance, and it would be severe if they were prevented from, finish ing their business in Court, and kept there to the great detriment of their Chamber business. His Honour the VICE-CHANcELLort allowed Mr. BELL to proceed with his motion. The whole of the Counsel outside of the Bar rose, as if With one accord, and left the Court. Several of the King's Counsel afterwards came into Court, and alter a conference departed. The Juniors then agiain occupied their situations, and moticus of course were heard, without any fur ther interruption.
