13artrp. Mr. Charles Swain, whose writings are the most charming contributions to the Forget Me Not for 1840, says, " This is the eleventh year since my first appearance in your little register of sweet affections. Since then, how many are dead! Hemans, Landon, Jewsbary, Hogg, Neele, Mac nish, Carrington, Scott, Mackay Wilson, Inglis; and how many more ?" And he adopts the theme in a touching tone : A VISION OF TOMBS Addressed to the " Forget-me- .Not." Forget them hot ! oh, still forget them not ! The bards whose spirit bath inspired thy page ; Be not the memory of the dead forgot, Whose genius is thy proudest hermitage! Alas for life ! what bosom might presage The shadow of the grave was with each name ! Some, gray and lonely at the door of age! Some in the golden morning of their fame — Yet on the path of death all stricken down the same ! A vision of far tombs oppress'd m.y sight ; I saw Kilmeny wandering down the glen, To seek her Shepherd by the hill's lone height, Her Ettrick Bard, she ne'er might find again I And Scott—that ocean 'mid the stream of men ! That Alp, amidst all mental greatness rear'd ! He, too; bow'd down to Death's recording pen : And Neele, Galt, Inglis, Malcolm—names endear'd— Pan'd pale, as one by one their xision'd tombs appeaed The voice of Spring is breathing! where art thou, Daughter of Genius, whose exalted mind From Nature's noblest and sublimest brow Snatch'd inspiration? thou, whose art combined Passions most pure, affections most refined ; Whose muse with silver clarion wakes the land, Thrilling the finer feelings of mankind ! Thine is the song to arm a patriot hand, Or start a thousand spears 'midst Freedom's mountain band Thine is the song to fill the mother's heart, Whose children bless thee—Hemans—round her knee Thine is the gifted page that can impart A beauty born of immortality ! The temple—shrine—and tronhied urn—to thee Were themes enduring ! wliere'er , Grief had trod, Or Hope fled tired from human misery, Thou stood'st with song uplifted to thy God, Thou soothedst the mourner's tears e'en by the burial sod The beauteous spirit of the minstrel dead Comes with the harmonies and hues of morn ! Sits with my sorrowing heart when day hath fled, And folds her glorious wings—Elysian born ! A broken rose and violet dim adorn With their expressive grace her silent lyre : But, oh ! the wreath by that immortal worn ! The inspiration and the seraph fire, Which light those pleading eyes that unto heaven aspire ! Still mourns Erinna—ever by that coast, Whose dismal winds shriek to each weeping cloud, Whose waves sweep solemn as a funeral host, Still mourns she Love's own minstrel, in her shroud : The Sappho of that isle, in genius proud ; The improvisatrice or our land; The daughter of our soil—our fame endowed; For her Erinna seeks the fatal strand, And lifts to distant shores her wo-prophetic hand! The blighted one! the breast, whose sister-tear Sprang to each touch of feeling, heaves no more ! Our Landon, silent on her funeral bier, Far from our heart, sleeps on a foreign shore ; The voice of her—the song-inspired—is o'er; Oh, she who wept for others found no tone To soothe the many parting griefs she bore ; None had a tear for that sweet spirit lone— All sorrows found a balm save that fair minstrel's own ! Thou, who receivedst her rose-encircled head, Our Minstrel in the bloom of her young fame, Give back our lost and loved ! Restore our dead! • Return once more her first and dearest name ! We claim her ashes ! 'tis a nation's claim ! Her—in her wealth of mind—to thee we gave ! Yet—plea.' we for the duet of that dear frame : Oh, bear her world-lamented o'er the wave ! Let England hold at last—'tis all she asks—her grave ! CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE FOREIGN RELATIONS OF ENGLAND. (From tie Leeds Intelligencer.) The Quadruple Alliance still squabble over the spoils of Turkey. 1 - 1 ,. e have before adverted to the peculiar policy of France <<nd Russia., The former upholds the Pasha of Egypt, and . is evidently at the bottom of his obstinacy ; while the latter professes to befriend Turkey, but is in reality watching for opportunities of aggrandisement at the Sultan's expense. The last advices state that England and Austria have at length spoken out, and jointly de clared to the Sultan that they will maintain the inte grity of his empire, upon the basis of a few years ago; that they will assist him in the recovery of Syria, con fine Mehemet Ali to the province of Egypt, and com pel him to restore the purloined fleet. We are not dis posed to give ministers credit for so much decision and honesty, but if they have thus acted, they have taken the right course, and deserve praise. The French are. carry ing on their double-deal-ing system all along the African coast, yet the state of at - Fairs in Algeira (as they dub their conquests) is anything rather than encouraging. It appears by accounts from Paris that a terrible mortality prevails in all the outposts of the French army; that thousands have perished of want and dis ease; and that a still greater number are disabled.— These statements are borne out, substantially, by the evacuation of Constantina. The Duke of Orleans, it appears, has evacr.ated that city. He found • his coun trymen perish in the very streets. He gave instant or ders for their removal to a place of shelter; and a te legraphic dispatch announces that his Royal Highness ham brought of? the army, and its long train of sick, and entered Algiers. The French Government now sees, it is averred, that " Africa is the grave of French men," and is not worth to France one-half of what it costs her in money, to say nothing of the lives of her best and bravest soldiers. LORD NORMANBY AND THE CHARTIST INSURRECTION. (From the Times of Wednesday.) The Palmerston print of last night publishes the followin; in a second edition : " Whitehall, Nov. 9, 1839. • " Sir,—The Queen has been pleased to command me to express her Majesty's high approval of your conduct, and of the conduct cf the magistrates acting with you, on the occa sion of the dutrag,e recently coin itted in the town of New- " To the resolution and courage of the magistrates, and of the small military fares which supported them in withstand ing the unexpected and daring attack of numerous bodies of armed men from the mining- districts, her Majesty ascribes in great measure the preservation of the lives and property of the inhabitants. " Her Majesty is deeply concerned that any one of her faithful and loyal suhjects should have suffered personal in jury in the discharge of his public duty, and in defence of the peace of the town against lawle,zs aggression. And while her Majesty cannot but regret that any loss of life should occur, .it is a satisfaction to her Majesty to know that this loss, which, under the circumstances, was unavoidable, has been confined to those who were f oremost i n making thei attack ; and that the loss was not greater or more indiscriminate, her Majesty attributes to the judgment evinced by the magis trates, and by the officer in com man d o f t h e troops, and to the exemplary forbearance, steadiness, and good conduct of the soldiers. I have, " The Mayor of Surely the epi,-stle he be a hoax " NORMANBY. ;ors, 1 1 - onmouth.E:hire." attributed to Lord Normanby mus To find the Home Minister describing the late proceedings at Newport by the comparatively mild word "outrage,". will startle, we think, equally those who have read the accounts of those proceedings, and those who have contented them selves with merely ascertaining that there have been nume rous commitments for HIGH TREASON of persons engaged in them. " Outrage," my Lord Nornsanby ! We pray you to recollect you are not in :IRELAND HOW ! The second paragraph of the letter strikes us as a positive insult to " the magistratee, and the small military force who supported illemin withstanding the unexpected and daring attack of"—(Here we have the Irish arboinistrator of justice again) " numerous bodies of"--whom ? - itors, insurgents, rebels, insurrectionist;?—Oh !- -" armed mhe mininy distri6s :" and her Me' !.;ty i s made to en say, f rom that, t to the resolution and ceure ge e'r " the m ag i s t rates, and of the small artillery fOrce which supported them," she ascribes " in a great measit7e the preservation of the lives and pro perty of the inhahitaets "In a great-measure !"—Wh, in the name of hone s ty an d common sense, wh a t was it bu y t the resolutioa end the courage of die exemplary magistrates, and of the emall but gallant military force which supported them, that saved Newport? "In a great measure," forsooth! Why not in accrue mcasure—whody—altogether ? We should believe that the lacy Premier and his lissom Home Secretary had been indulging " in a great measure" when they penned this disgraceful epistle, if we did not very plainly see that its whole end and object is to conciliate their Radical friends. We should he glad if we conk! bring ourselves to believe that this is the only inference to be drawn from the letter. But we cannot. There is nothing in it to show that the authors of it are very sorry that the insurrection had not larger range —that the inaelstrates did not prove to have less courage and less resolution—that the small m:litary force was.not smaller. How slow the Ministers have been in sending military rein forcement to Newport and the neighbourhood can hardly have escaped even the least observant of our readers. Then look at the last paragraph of this precious document. Her majesty is made to say, that she "is deeply concerned that any one of her loyal and faithful subjects should have suffered personal injury in the discharge of his public duty." Can anything be more cold, more discouraging, more'ansuited for instance, to the conduct of the mayor, "who stood among the soldiers in th e h o tt est o f t h e l i re, and after being wounded twice, continued at his post till he fell fainting from loss of blood." This brave magistrate is coolly told, that her ma jesty regrets he suffered any persoal injury. We do not very well see what less he could have been told from her majesty, if he hed merely got a broken head in defending the town against "a lawless aggression," as our ministers mildly term this attack on Newport : and the part of the O'Mulgrave Anlo-Hiherian despatch sounds very like a caution to other mayors and magistrates not to he quite so forward in the dis charge of their duty on similar occasions, as they will get from the government in the name of their sovereign, merely what covered with wounds, they have quite enough of at home— " deep concern." Oh ! these dirty, dirty, whigs ! How long will the people withhold from them the punishments they have so richly earned, and drive them with ignominy from the places they have so long disgraced ? THE DUCHESS'S PAYMENTS TO THE COUTTS' FAMILY. —ln 1836, a gentleman who knew her and Mr. Coutts, and his daughters, met the duchess at the bank in the Strand during one of the periodical settlements there, and saw, amonz other papers handed to his friend, an account of M money which s h e h ad given to r. Coutts's family since his demise in 1822. It amounted to upwards of £380,000 in the 14 years; the interest of which he said for one year would be £12,000, and he further calculated that the compound inter est, had the money been left to accumulate, would have yielded upward of .C 20,000 a-vear, in addition to her income. Memoirs of the Duchess of St. Alban's SUPERSTITION or MR. AND MRS. COUTTS. -- But the most striking evidence of her superstitious prejudices used to cause much wonder among the guests of the rural fetes there ;—and this was presented on the steps; at Holly Lodge, which, from the lawn to the hall door, are composed of beau tifulthe blocks of hate marble, th at a statuary might envy ; but highest step Is disfigured by two rusty, old, broken horseshoes fastened to it, whi c h she and Mr. Coutts (who was likewise superstitious) had found in the road, and they had caused arse hidc•ous bits of rusty iron to be nailed ou the ticreshold to avert evil, and bring good luck.--Memoirs of the Duchess of St. Allan's.

TREASURY MINUTE, DATED NOV. 12, 1839. My lords read the Act, 2 and 3 Victoria, cap, 33, for the urther regulation of the duties on postage until the sth Oct. .840. Since the prorogation of parliament, my lords have turned their unremitting attention to the measures necessary for carrying into effect the intention of the legislature. The powers with which this board are invested by the Act were recommended to parliment, not • only for the purpose of enabling my lords to adopt such mode of payment as might, on consideration, appear the most advisable, but also to enable my lords to carry into practical effect this great al teratien, in the manner which might he least liable to derange the regularity and the despatch of the correspondence of the country, as now executed by the Postoffice. My lords have always been aware, that the contempora neous adoption of the charging letters by weight, and the reduction of postage to au uniform rate of one penny, - would be attended with much practical difficulty. The time occu pied now at the large offices, and at the forward offices, in charging and sorting the letters, has been reduced, for the public convenience, to as narrow limits as possible. To alter the mode of charge from that to which the officers of the Postoffice have been long accustomed must of itself, for a time, be accompanied with seine inconvenience, and my lords apprehend it would be imprudent to increase that difficulty, by adding, at the same moment, so large a number of letters as must naturally arise from the immediate reduction to the penny rate. My lords feel that, for a time at least, great ireegularities would prevail, and much public inconvenience result. However satisfactory, therefore, and however desi rable in many points of view, it might be to carry into exe cution contemporaneously the complete plan, their lordships, upon a foil consideration, have come to the conclusion, that by adopting some intermediate "measure, and bringing into operation the mode of charging the letters by weight, previous to the entire reduction of the rate 'of postage, their lordships will not only avoid the risk to which the other course is lia ble, but materially facilitate the introduction of the remain ing parts of the plan. With those opinions their lordships have, in communica tion with the authorities of the POstoffice, turned their .at tention to the framing such regulations as may introduce, with as little delay as possible, the charge by weight. Their Lordships propose to accompany this argument with such reduction of postage as will be a material relief to the public, and not interfere with the proper discharge of the duties of the officers of the Postoffice as at present arranged. By the regulations which, in conjunction with the Post office have been matured, and which this hoard propose to sanction, my Lords apprehend material advantages will be secured. A considerable relief will be given to the public as regards the charge of letters. One of the great depart mental difficulties in introducing the penny rate will be re moved, and such information be obtained as will enable my Lords to adopt with more security, and consequently at an earlier period, the remaining part of the system. In giving their sanction to the proposed arrangement, my Lords comidei‘it as a temporary measure only, and as a step to the introduction of the uniform penny charge, anti their Lordships will continue their anxious efforts to give effect to the whole of the intentions of the legislature, with as little delay as is consistent with the due consideration of the pub lic convenience. Their Lordships are pleased to direct, that. all letters posted on or after the sth December next shall be subject to the following regulations : General Post letters shall be charged by'weight as follows: 1. Letters not exceeding an ounce, one postage. Do. 1 ounce, two postages. Do. . 2 ounces, four postages. Do.- ' 3 ounces, six postages, and so on, adding two postages for every, ounce up to 16 ounces, beyond which no packet subject to postage shall be received. 2. All single postage rates between places within the United Kingdom, which now exceed 4d., shall be reduced to that sum ; inferior rates to remain undisturbed, but the letters to he charged by weight. Additional charges, to which general post letters are now liable, if posted or delivered beyond the limits of the general post free delivery ; as also, the addi tional half-penny on Scotch letters, and the additional.penuy for passing the Menai and Conway bridges to cease. 3. All letters and packets exceeding the weight of one ounce to be prepaid and delivered in at the window—if not so prepaid and delivered, to'be charged double postage. Foreign letters and packet letters will be charged accord ing to the preceding scale of weight. Letters to and from the British West Indies to be charged ls. per single rate, the same charge to attach to letters from and to Gibraltar, Malta, and the lonian Isles, conveyed by packet and not transmitted through France. , My Lords, reserve, for future consideration, the whole question of the rates on foreigif - letters, as their Lordships consider, that it will be a proper subject for communication with foreign powers, in the hope that such foreign powers may be induced to make a corresponding reduction in their charges on letters to and from this country. All ship letters between ports of the United Kingdom, in cluding the Channel islands and the Isle of Man, to be charged by weight, .and according to the rates chargeable on inland letters. Other ship letters to be charged by weight according to the foregoing scale, the single sea postage rate remaining as at present, and the inland rate being regulated as for inland letters My Lords have no intention, by the present arrangement, to make any alteration with respect to newspapers, franked letters, or Parliamentary papers, which will still continue to enjoy the same privileges, and subject to the same charges, as at present. Transmit copy of this minute officially to the Postmaster- General, and desire his Lordship will give the necessary in structions to his officers to carry the directions of my Lords into effect. Desire, also, 'that he will direct the Solicitor of the Post office to preparea draft of a warrant, in conformity with the provisions of the Postage Acts, to be signed by my Lords, and inserted in the Gazette. • THE BALAAM BALAAM BOX; OR, HOW TO CONDUCT A NEWSPAPER. (From the Ulster Times.) TO THE EDITOR, &C. SlR—Unless you contract your extraordinary quantity of advertisements, which now exclude so much more interest ing matter, I shall withdraw my humble name as a subscri ber to your paper.—&c. SIR—If you do not insert all the advertisements of the steamers, particularly Langtry's, which you never do, by any chance, you need not expect me to take your paper, as although I prefer your politics, I cannot do without the ad vertisements, and therefore have to take the Whig in self defence.—&c. SIR—I really wonder that you do not recollect that you are the Editor of an Irish paper, and not give us so much Scotch news and poetry.— &c. Sin—Many subscribers to your journal complain that you neglect altogether the interests of the Scottish Church, and, particularly, pay so little attention to the religious revivals now going on throughout Scotland. Your predecessor, also, used to enrich his columns with much sweet Scotch poetry, which I regret to see altogether discontinued.—&c. Sin—l hear every one praise your paper, except the ladies, who prefer the Chronicle, because it contains so many nice stories, and so much light matter. Could you not manage to please that important section of the community in this particular ?—&c. Sin—l really wonder to see a paper taking up the grave tone in politics, morals, and religion, which you do, devote so much valuable space to flimsy stories read by none but fcolish women and children ; also, Jonathans, and jokes of that sort, have lately become quite too frequent in your co lumns.—&c. Sin—l wish you would give us a little more commercial news, also political, and leave the Pope, &c., to pamphlets. —&c. • SIR—I think you ought to publish some of the ancient re cords which expose the true nature of Popery. People now a days hear much in general terms about the thing, but they require to have their memories refreshed upon the facts of history. Excuse me also for saying that, in my opinion, you devote too much space to commercial matters. You would do well to recollect that the greater number of your readers are of the gentry and rural classes.—&c. Sin—l am surprised to perceive how readily you admit correspondence in your columns.—&c. SIR—I have now addressed to you three several commu nications without perceiving them in your columns. The last, I wrote you, and on which I expended all my energies is, I presume, not adapted to a newspaper. You will please, therefore,-to return me the MS., and strike out my name as a subscriber to your paper. —&c. Sin—l cannot perceive why you stuff up your paper with a parcel of trash under the head of " Foreign," which no body ever thinks of reading.—&c. SIR—I do wish you would let us hear what is going on abroad a little more fully. Your notices on foreign affairs are quite scanty, and you should remember that people in the country never see another paper, while your town sub scribers, perhaps see the London journals, and do not care for foreign news in your's.—&c. SlR—Your paper is going to with religion, I really, although a staunch Tory, must give it up if I am to be bored with religion, religion, religion. DEAR SlR—The Ulster Times is doing well in every way, and is now what it ought to be—an instrument for the good of souls. I enclose you an account of a Bible Society meet ing, which please insert, &c. SIR—I think you ought to devote some more of your space at present to the Wesleyan Centenary meetings. You know that body is staunch, &c. SIR—I am sorry to perceive that you are giving in to views of that ambitious body, the Wesleyan Methodists, whom I regard as the most crafty and insidious enemies of the Church. DEAR SIR—I cannot understand why Conservative jour nals should give up so much room to the letters and speeches of Mr. O'Connell, and all that crew. Surely it is doing harm to spread their sentiments? Leave them to their own jour nals, and give us the sentiments and opinions of our own sides, &c. DEAR SlR—Your admirable paper has one fault. You give us plenty of account of friend:, and I rejoice to see them, but I am in the dark as to what the enemy is doing, and I cannot afford to take a Radical or Popish paper. If I would, &c. &c. DEAR SlR,—Excuse me for saying it, but I think there is a great deal too much original matter in your paper • and also you are too fond of c opyi ng th e or i g i na l matter of the London journals. The readers of a newspaper in the country want news and amusement. Fashionable movements, mar riages in high life, and such like. I think you could improve your paper by more extracts from the Morning Post, Court Gazette, Brc. DEAR SIR,—As I see several English and other papers, I only take in your's on account of the talent and vigour of the original articles, which I think ought to be extended in quantity. Give us also more of the leaders of the London Times, Herald, and Standard.—&e. DEAR SIR,—I am sorry to perceive for a few papers that your valuable and interesting notices under the head of " The Church," were dwindling down to nothing. Do pray attend to this department, as a very large body of your subscribers are interested in these matters.—&e. S I R—*** Who cares a farthing about the Queen's rides in the morning, or parties in the evening, or that my Lord This or That goes here or there. Do give us some " Sporting Intelligence," and leave out these things, as also those stu pid " Church" matters, which can be very well spared, I assure you.—&c. DEAR hear but one complaint made of your ines timable journal, and that is your perpetual squabblings with the Whig. Nobody that reads your paper ever sees or cares about that journal. Do stick to your own course, and keep never minding the wretched Whig nonsense—&c. Sin-I really think you show a want of spunk lately in passing over the savage attacks of the Whig. Although you may not care about them, people like to see a good stand-up fight. You will do well to attend to this hint.—&c. (Much obliged to " People." U. 7'.) DEAR SIR-4 wonder at your publishing the stupid letters of that crack-brained egotist, Sharman Crawford. Surely you might find something better for your readers than such stuff. SIR-I was much disappointed (in common with other people) that you did not publish in full Sharman Crawford's letters, and the replies given to them by the several writers in the Dublin journals. There are many things which might surely have giVen way to a topic so interesting to the rural community as this discussion. I presume the press of other matter prevented your attending to this; but I hope you will publish and review his pamphlet when it appears, &c. The foregoing is but a sample of our Balam-box, which contains some considerable quantity of down-right abuse—as also, abundance of flattery of our " excellent journal" —our " excellent paper," &c., &c., which it is amusing to look over after a few months' collection. How difficult it is to learn that simple lesson of charity,—" Bear and forbear." of the Hoose o' Lords, and less o' John Gray and your Toon Council. 1 assure you John and his neebour Malcolm M'Gavin, I think you call him, is a great druVere.

Gregg (known to the world as the victor of Father Maguire, in a recent controversy at Dublin,) de livered a lecture on Monday evening last, to a crowded and most respectable auditory, at the Exchange Room ; except ing only the emissaries of the Roman Catholic Priest, who, it seems, have been regularly sent for some time past to all Protestant Religious Meetings, to annoy and disturb. On the motion of the Rev. Wm. Morgan, seconded by the Rev. J. Bardsley, the Vicar was called to preside, by the unanimous and loud acclamations ef the meeting. Dr. Scoresby, in acceding to the wish of his Parishioners, expressed his anxiety in every way to, promote their best in terests, and certainly the promotion of National Religion must be to their advantage, and he bespoke an attentive and orderly hearing for Mr. Gregg, who was then introduced by the Rev. G. S. Bull, as an old neighbour and tried friend. He had known him many years, and never found him to turn his back upon either friend or foe. He was a man of upright mind, and steadfast purpose, who spoke all his heart, uttered freely what he believed to be the truth, and dared all the con sequences ; and such men the present times required. (Cheers) The Rev. T. D. GREGG, who was recived by reiterated rounds of applause, said that the time was come for plain speaking, and speaking out. As an Irishman, he felt for his country, and loved it too ; but he entertained an admiration and affection for England which he could not express. It was not always so with him. His auditory had no idea of the calumnies which were constantly and industriously propaga ted against England by the Popish' press, and the Popish priests who were the masters of that press. It was their practice to represent England as the very plague spot of the earth, the seat of crime and all abominations. The charac ter of the British women had been assailed systematically : they were represented as generally lewd and wanton.— O'Connell's slanders on their character were - eritten with a pen of iron, and would never—could never be forgotten.— (Tremendous cheers.) He, however, had come to Eng land some years ago to be undeceived by his own senses. He found here, comparatively, the beauty of holiness.— He found great evils, and great immorality, but he fonnd a greater proportion of instances than he would venture to say the world could elsewhere produce of the sanctifying and glo rious result of Christian principle. Mr. Gregg here descibed with powerful effect, the order and comfort of a Christian cottager ; his enlightened knowledge of his duty and privi lege as a Christen, all which he owed to the true Catholic Church, which held forth to him the Word of Life, and fed him at the pure source of God's revealed truth. Now, he would contrast this with the superstition of the Romish epos tacy. What would they think of such a story as this, which was propagated and by many believed in Ireland. An Irish nobleman, they said, had the devil in his house, and sent for all the Protestant clergy to read him out in vain ; but at last, Dr. Doyle, a Romish bishop was sent for, and he, of course, despatches the fiend in a trice ! Such folly could gain no credit with a true Reformed Catholic, but in Ireland, ev ery figment was swallowed down. And whilst the lies of the priest were law and gospel both, the sacred and inspired Word of God was neglected and despised. He was reading the 51st Psalm to an Irish mountaineer a short time ago, and asking him what he thought of it ; the poor papist replied that " he thought no more of it than the grunting of his pig." But if the priest gave him a blessed iron ring, or the belt of St. Francis, or the Scapular, or grubbed up a few old bones for him, he would place his dependence for salvation upon such lying vanities, and feel himself safe in such abominations. But he came to England and found a bold and generous peo ple, free to speak their minds and assert their rights, and many of them exhibiting a self-denial and restraint of the passions which was glorious and admirable. He found a people self-governed, not awed by police and military like the serfs of Romanism in Ireland ; but let them mark this, that if Popish Councils prevailed in the state as they had done and now did, England would soon become like Ireland and lose its glory and independence. (Loud cheers.) They would soon have a gendarmerie government. and every man would have a spy to watch him. This was the fruit of Popish domination everywhere—let them look at all Popish coun tries and they would see it, and let them be warned in time. He came to plead for the carrying out of a Church and State Union—of a real Union. He came to demonstrate its necessity and benefit. National religion alone could produce national se curity, regeneration, and comfort. What then hindered? It was Popery chiefly that hindered—Popery in high places he meant —in our Parliament, our Privy Council, and our Palace too. (A. voice—" She'll marry a Papist.") Mr. Gregg then went into a plain description of Popery from the Homilies of the Church, which designated the mass as " a horrible profana tion," and described the priests as " Popish wolves," de ceiving the people with their "mummish massing." [The priest's men here commenced a regular system of annoyance, when they were reminded that the mean* were at hand to expel them if they persevered in their interruptions.] Mr. Gregg went on to show the blessings which the prevalence of national religion would produce. He was aware that per sonal religion was essential, and that national religion did not necessarily include the individual piety of mankind ; bat it was a great means adapted to a blessed end, and he would have it carried out after the pattern of Josiah and Hezekiah. He would have the word and ordinances of God publicly ho noured, the observance of the Sabbath enforced, and he would restore the red-letter days, the holy days, for the reli gious advantage of the people, and for their refreshment and recreation. In Popish countries they carried out the con nection of their apostate church with the state, and had great pageantry and public demonstration. He would, in some sort, copy their pattern, but not in objecti ona bl e matters. He would have an holy convocation of the people at stated times, he would summon them by thd trumpet's silver lips, he would have the military to attend, and let the appointed minister of each parish ascend the National Pulpit as in days of yore, and declare to the people the truth of God. And as to the apostate Church of Rome, he would use no force but moral force. He would teach the people to despise her mummish massing, and to despise her altars, and her images. Aud since the nation had declared in her Homilies that her mass was "a horrible profanation of the supper of the Lord," he would expose it as such, and cause such detestable idola spurned. He would as in and y pretended miracles of former try e o e f r a t b i e e a s d , en exposeGo d the to b. juggles 1 ,he Idol Priests. They did not believe their own miracles, Or they would not (as he proved they did) leave out in En glish editions .of the " Lives of her Saints" a great many of their fables. For instance, in the Italian version, St. Paul's head is stated, after decapitation, to have made three bounces, and that at every bounce, a fountain sprang up. Now, in the English version, the bounces were all left out, and the fountains too. (Laughter.) So again i n th e B rev i ary, S t. Francis is stated after decapitation to have carried his head under his arm, but this is likewise omitted in his life, in the version of the lives of the Saints used in these regions. Was it not clear that they knew these miracles to be false, or they would glory in them ? Now he would expose all their jugglery, and he would also protect converts from po pery, from the proscriptions of the priests and thei r s l aves , who hunted them like as a partridge, when they forsook the Mother of Harlots He knew many instances of cruel and almost fatal persecutions, and mentioned one, person who at the present moment was reduced to th e u t mos t d est i tut i on. The priest would hunt bun from service to service by threats of withdrawing custom, if the obnoxious convert was not dis missed. An Englishman, however, would not bear this ty ranny. A case had been stated to him by a frieud, upon whose veracity he relied, of a tea-dealer in Dublin, an Eng lishman ; he s had a prosperous run of business. A p r ie s t very soon called to ask a subscription for a Romish school ; he gave him one ; but another and another succeeded, and at last he hesitated at being so frequently drawn upon. He was soon after waited upon by " a dignitary," as lie called himself, of the Popish church, who assumed a very pom pous air, and broadly hinted-that if the tea-dealer refused to contribute when called upon by the priests, he would soon be ruined by a combination of that corporation of batchelors, against him. This sort of threatening the English could not brook. " Jerry, Jerry," cried the insulted man, " come and put this man out of my house, body and bones." (Loud cheers and laughter.) Yes, O'Connell himself might fall down, as he did, at an election once, before the feet of a priest, and those who were taught from infancy to cringe to the man of the " Breeden God," might tremble in his presence ; but it was a sound Englishman that best knew ho , W to send such braggarts to the right about. Mr. Gregg concluded by advising the people of Bradford to demand a repeal of that breach upon the constitution, the Romish. Relief Bill—the removal of Papists from parliament, and the formation of a Protestant Association for this end. It is impossible iu so small a space to give any idea of the effect produced by Mr. Gregg's address, which in many parts exhibited the most stirring and impassioned elo quence which perfectly carried the auditors away. There was also a great readiness of retort about him, peculi arly Irish, which, in every instance, turned the laugh his adversaries who sought incessantly to annoy him. It appears that Mr. Gregg's method with the Papist is a very summary one. He maintains that the question of the apos lacy of the. Romish Church is the only one worth an hour's controversy. Let that be established and there will be no need to lose time in the examination of the figments of popery. He does not treat them as philosophers whose dogmata are deserving of examination for a moment. He fixes the broad brand of apostacy upon the brow of Rome—shews from the Inspired Word of God, and from the character and deeds of the Romish Church, that it is the very Antichrist foretold and foredoomed of God, and declares her Priests to be at once disqualified for the discussion of Christian truth until they have obeyed the command, " Come out of her my peo ple." He would shew them their errors faithfully and speak the truth to them in love, but lie refuses to treat with them as brethren or Christians at all. He complains that a false courtesy has hitherto been used by true Churchmen towards the agents of a system which is denounced by the Articles and Homilies of the Church of England as damnable and idolatrous. Mr. Gregg may probably be misrepresented as proposing coercive measures towards the Romanists. Against such a charge he sufficiently guarded himself by declaring that he would confine all the acts of a Christian Government, in putting down Popery, to p u bli c an d au th or i tat i ve exposure of its superstitious and idolatrous tenets, and of its " Cursing Priests," whose names, when they cursed from their altars or persecuted the converts from Romanism, he would pub licly expose. Mr. 'Gregg closed his lecture amid rounds of applause. Thanks were given to him, with only twelve or fourteen dis sentients, upon the motion of Mr. Bull, seconded by a Wes leyan Preacher, Mr. Wilson. Mr. GREGG then moved, and a Roman Catholic seconded, a vote of thanks to the Vicar, who, in acknowledging it, stated an interesting circumst ance which occurred to himself when in Ireland, which proved to him that the Irish Romanists did believe that the Priest by his curse could send them to hell. He called upon his parishioners to rejoice that the blessed light of divine truth had dispelled such darkness, and delivered us from such bondage. The Doxology was then sung, and the meeting dispersed. I heard of an American, who had two sons, and he de clared that they were so clever at barter, that he locked them both up together in a room, without a cent in their pockets, and that before they had swapped for an hour, they had each gained two dollars a piece.

This is a subject which everybody pretends to understand well. In building a house, weaving a web, constructing a steam-engine, or a horse-shoe, the mechanists are generally left to the exercise of their own genius and discretion ; but the editor of a newspaper is seldom allowed to do much without advice—he has so many kind " friends" and " cor respondents," sincere admirers of this widely circulated and independent journal," ever ready to assist him in his arduous and laborious task. This may appear all very well, and give an idea, to superficial observers, of the happiness and comfort of a 4public journalist, in being surrounded with so many benevolent and kindly helps—but it is necessary to mention, to prevent its being thought that the situation is altogether a sinecure, that the advice of one " well-wisher" is almost always at antipodes to that of another—and that very frequently the suggestions are " thrown out" by peo ple who know no more about the management of a news paper than they do regarding the mysteries of Thuggism, or the manners and internal policy of the inhabitants of Timbuctoo ! With the " admirers" and suggesters of para graphs for insertion "to do the paper good, but which, if admitted, might consign the printer to a jail, a person can easily put up—because such matters are readily seen through—but the " stop-the-paper" gentry, because every single article is not in strict accordance with their taste, are beyond all bearing. This is the greatest evil of which news paper people have to complain—if readers would only ab stain from this—which may be aptly termed the " CAPITAL punis/;nent" of the Press, those connected with it could sub mit, as they very frequently do, to much, and grievous abuss. These " stop-the-paper" readers (against whom we should like very much to see some coercive, or other severe mea sures, adopted by the government when it has nothing else to do,) never think of what may be the taste of his next door neighbour—to whom the article so indignantly contemned may be the richest treat—he does not take patience to see that it is just by the well-selected diversity of food for all the people that a newspaper compiler is much or little valued —he never gives himself leisure to observe that the quantity of matter contained in a modern journal is worth, at least, ten times the sum charged, and that the paragraph which he objects to so strongly, is inte n d e d f or Mr. What-do-you -call him over the way, who has just as good a right to be pleased as himself. To all this the converse is—the true, generous, gentlemanly spirit, which cha rac t er i zes th e real bona fide " Constant Reader" in all seasons, and our ingratitude would be unpardonable did we not acknowledge that we have our own share of them. As to the impossibility of fixing a uni versal standard of taste, we beg to add extracts from letters, recently received, in illustration of our subject. They speak for themselves as to the difficulty of pleasing every body : " To the Bditor. " " 10th August. Sir,—Your paper, to be a newspaper, should give a touch of all passing events. It is rather partial, I think, never to notice the meetings of Chartists in this city.

To the Editor. " Sir,---I observe that you have given a very minute and particular account of the Chartists here, and from the way it is reported, it proves to me most clearly that you arc your self as complete a Chartist as any one of them.

The fol lowing is an extract from a letter of three quarto pages, signed " P." apparently in a female hand, dated Tradeston, July 28 : "• To the Editor. " Sir,—l am amazed at the stupidity of your Reporter, who does not appear to be at all fit for his duty. He seems to pay no attention whatever to fires ! There has been a dreadful fire in the suburbs, which illuminated the whole at mosphere; the straw in the stable which was not burnt was destroyed, and a horse and two cows were with difficulty re served from the fatal effects of the surrounding conflagra tion. I don't wish to say much, but if you do not pay more attention to these matters, I must look out for - another paper." " To the Editor. " Sir,—l like the appearance of your paper generally :bu why do you not give us a longer list of ' Births, Marriages and Deaths,' like some of your contemporaries. Be assured Mr. Editor, these are the things that please—not forgetting, which I am happy you do not, a fair sprinkling of accidents, casualties in general, and other amusing bon mots.

We have had a good supply of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland this week, and of foreign produce and manufacture the arrivals con sist of 2,720 qrs. of Wheat, 3,604 Oats, 966 qrs. Barley, 430 qrs. Beans; and 9,880 brls. of Flour. On Tuesday we noted a decline of 3s to as per bushel on both old and new Wheat, Is to 2s per barrel on Flour, Id per bushel on Oats, and on Oatmeal 6d per load, with a limited demand for each article. The transactions in old Wheat have since been equally moderate, and at our market yesterday prices were further reduced 2d to 3d per bushel, and the samples of Irish new were much neglected. —The supply of Oats being beyond the wants of the trade, this article was fully 2d per bushel cheaper, 4s per 451bs being an extreme value for best mealing qualities.— Oatmeal has also moved slowly, and 36s 6d per 2401bs may be con sidered a full quotation for Irish.—There has been no further reduc tion in the prices of American Flour, fresh parcels still being worth 41s to 42s per barrel : nor is there any alteration in the value of either malting or grinding Barley, but the latter has met a more free sale.—Beans and Peas continue in fair request at late prices, and the market is very• low in stock of the former article. LIVERPOOL- CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 18. The supply of Cattle at our market to-day has been rather larger than that of the preceding week; the quality, as on former datys, was mostly of second and inferior Beasts, still the trade was brisk for all descriptions of Beef, for the primest sid to 6d, second quality 51d, inferior sd, and at the close of the day the Cattle were mostly sold off. The market for Sheep was smaller then last week, still the trade was dull'and prices much the same as on last market day, say for the primest Wetheis did to 62d, second quality 6d, inferior and Ewes 5d to sid, and at the close of the day a few lots were unsold, Beasts, 165 g; Sheep, 5420.
