LICENTIOUS PRESS.—The Quebec Gazette, in speaking of the licentiousness of the press, which appears to receive in a considerable degree, the disapprobation of the public, has the following paragraph :—The only remedies for a licentious press are :—" 1. The suppression of the liberty of the press, which we think a remedy worse than the disease. 2. Leaving it to the same remedy which prevails in the cure of licentious tongues,—letting them wag ;—establish their own character, draw their own picture, from their own knowledge of their own corrupt hearts and habits, while they think they are drawing the picture of others; till at last, they are generally known and shunned. DOMESTIC. COURT AND FASHIONABLE WORLD. On Thursday last their Majesties took their usual exercise in the Great Park. In the afternoon the Bishop of Worcester arrived at the Cas tle, on a visit to their Majesties. Sir Philip and Lady Sydney are also on a visit to their Majesties. - . - The Queen attended Divine Service at St. George's Chapel. This forenoon their Majesties attended Divine Service at the private Chapc.l of the Castle. The Lord Bishop of Worcester, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Wood, officiated, and after the ser vice, administered the Sacrament to their Majesties, her Royal Ilightlesa_the Princes Angusta i and to others of the Royal suit e. In the afternoon their Majesties took their usual exercise, his Majesty in an open phaeton, accompanied by Princess Au gusta, and the Queen, on horseback, attended by her suite. In consequence of the new terrace being opened, and the fineness of the day, there has been a great influx of visiters to this place. Yesterday the Royal dinner party consisted of the following: —Her Royal Highness Princess Augusta, the Bishop of Wor cester, Sir Philip and Lady Sydney, Lord Elphinstone, Miss De Roos, Marchioness of 'Wellesley, Miss Mitchell, Sir Hil grove Turner, Sir Andrew Barnard, Sir Herbert and Lady Tayl . or, Rev. Mr. Wood, Prince George of Cambridge, Mr. Davis, Mr. Barton, and Mr. Shiffner. Preparations are making at the Bavarian Embassy, in Har ley-street, for the departure of the Baron and Baroness Cetto, his Excellency having been appointed Minister at the Court of Vienna. The Baroness before her marriage was Miss Bur rowes, daughter of the Hon. Mrs. Beresford, and niece to Lord Decies and Viscountess Beresford. The Baron's successor here, we believe, has not yet been named. Lord Lowther and Mr. Holmes have returned to town from Cumberland, where, ,after a sharp contest, they witnessed the success of the Conservative candidate, Mr. lrton. The noble lord was in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, and voted with Ministers against Mr. Hume's motion respecting military flogging. Poor Sir Stratford Canning, who was sent to Spain with the objects, first and foremost to second the intrigues of the French ambassador for the rain of Zea Bermudez; secondly, to detach Spain from Portugal, and procure the abandonment of Don Miguel, has failed—miserably failed in both. Why is he not recalled? The country can well dispense with the charge of two missions to one court, more especially when the extraor dinary one has notoriously miscarried.—Guardian. We understand that the new Westminster prison in Tothill fields is nearly ready for the reception of evil doers. Our in formant assures us that it is " very airy," and " pleasantly situated" between the extensive pleasure-grounds of Mr. El liot, and the gardens of Emanuel Hospital; and that twelve hundred prisoners may be " comfortably accommodated" -within its walls. On Friday week the Duke of Rutland's hounds threw off at Evedon-wood, and after a severe run of five-and-forty minutes, came in full cry up the Town-street of Sleaford, and killed in the centre of the market-place, to the no small astonishment of the natives. The day, though very unfavourable, presented a numerous field. We observed Lord Forester, Lord Winchil sea, Lords Robert and Charles Manners, Lord Alford, Sir John Trollope, Mr. Chaplin, &c.—Leicester iderald. EXPENSES OF THE REVISING BARRISTERS.—The salaries and travelling expenses paid to the barristers appointed to revise the list of electors for this county, amount to £1353 lls. Bd., besides which there is a charge of £9 7s. 91 for advertisements ordered by the Secretary of State for the home Department, and paid to the clerk of the peace. - The following table, ex tracted from the parliamentary returns, shows the amount to each barrister : .Mtme.

In Cheshire, Messrs. Moy lan, Barlow, and Williams, were occupied eighteen days, at a total expense of £452 16s. sd. On Wednesday a'ernoon, about 4 o'clock, as Mr. Maudsley, the engineer, residing in the Westminster-road, was proceeding in his horse and gig to Woolwich, where he is engaged in fit ting_out seine government steamers, when near the Broadway at Deptford his horse, a spirited animal, took fright at some brewer's drays became quite unmanageable, and galloped off at a most furious rate. .Mr. M. exerted his utmost pewer • to arrest his progress, but without effect, and when near the cage the near wheel came in contact with a post with such a violent concussion that Mr. Maudsley was thrown out, and, pitching upon his head, his skull was dreadfully fractured, and his right shoulder dislocated. Several persons ran immediately to his assistance, and he was carried to the house of Mr. Glen don, the surgeon, at the corner of High-street, where every at tention was paid to his situation ; but, with the exception of his shoulder being set, nothing farther could be done for him, and the unfortunate gentleman was placed in a post-chaise, and conveyed with all speed to his residence, where, upon inquiry lastinght, we were informed he remains in a very dangerous condition. PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO MR. OA&TLER.—OR Wed. nesday the 27th ult., a public meeting of the inhabitants of Dot tun was held in the theatre at that ace, to consider of the beg means of promoting the Ten Hour Bill now before Parliament. Joseph Vs allwork, Esq., Boroughreeve of Little Bolton, pre sided. Resolutions were proposed or seconded by the Rev.' Mr. Frazier, Baptist minister, Dr. Young, Mr. Oastler;• Mr. Turner, of Manchester, Mr. Black, Mr. Trevor, &c. Mr. Oast ler, in the course of a lengthy speech, alluded to a recent meet ing of the Manchester spinners, held at the Exchange, at which he said he had been 'shocked to hear that they had deliberated how to evade the provisions of Lord Ashley's projected law. After the business had been concluded, Mr. Trevor said that he had been requested by the factory-operatives of Bolton to pre sent Mr Oastler, as a small token of the esteem in which they held him, with a silver cup, on Which was engraved a suitable inscription. He bore testimony to the services in the cause, of several individuals, to whom Mr-Clastler had alluded, and par ' ticularly to the favourable advocacy of the Duke, of Sussex, in whose hands he (Mr. T.) had the honour of placing the first petition his Royal Highness presented in favour of Mr. Sadler's Bill. He begged leave to read the inscription on the cup, which was as follows:—" Presented to Richard Oastler, Esq., of Fixby Hall, Yorkshire, by the .Factory operatives of Bolton le-Moors, as a testimonial of their respect and gratitude for his able, uncompromising, and - fearless advocacy of the cause of the helpless and unprotected factory child. March '27th, 1833." He trusted that Mr. .Oastler would receive it as a small, though totally inadequate memento of. the feelings the operatives en tertained towards-him. The cup was-then .given to Mr. Oast ler, amid loud cheering. Mr. Oastler rose and said, " With pleasure and with pride I accept this-cup. -I am not insensible to the good opinion of my fellow-creatures. 1 am proud of it. (Cheers.) .It was enough for me to be acknowledged as the king of the factory children, .as I have been nick-named by my enemies,—to be oalled their sovereign.; it was enough that the children loved me ; but when their-parents join in their. grati tude, I accept their present I- will not say I do not deserve it ; the Tarents of the factory children say I 'do deserve it, and lam not the hypocrite to contradict them. I will 'ho nour this cup as long. as 1 live, and it never shall be filled with wine, tainted with infants' blood.- -(Cheers.) I will fill it with water first. (Cheers.) This cup is mine, and I prize it more than if it was given to me by the nobles of the land. I lay my hand on it, and aecept it as a token that the Bolton factory ope ratives will never desert the cause of the ten hours' factory bill. Without that -pledge it will be valueless,—with it, it is my _crown." (Loud-cheers.) Thyee•cheers, were given for Lord .. Ashley, Mr. Sadler, the black -slaves, and the factory children. THE REVENUE.

Prisoner—Ah, dat very goot, too, Sir; if I come again, you shall send me for tree year.—(Laughter.) The begging notes were then about to be returned to the pri soner, when Sir David ordered Mr. Slight to take them away; upon which Monsieur Lamoile inquired with a stare, "What! you no give me any money for them ?" Mr. Slight replied in the negative, when the prisoner gate a jump from the stairs, exclaiming, " Quel bete de pays.' OXFORD CIRCUIT, GLOUCESTER, APRIL 3. DAWES V.

Phillips and Mr. Bushy, in order to reduce the damages proved that Dawes had had two executions in his house, whiell he bad sold one of his friends, who had become his bail, were only for the purpose of favouring him, and pre serving his property for him. After this he had left this coun try for America, butpreviously sent a letter to his mother, of which the following is a copy : " LivEltrOoL, - Our. 1.-3 ear Mother and Brother,—l ham sorry twas notin my power to see and take my lave of you be fore I left England. You know I was in difficulties, and new not how to remedy them. I called unto the Lord, and lice gave me power to accomplish my purposes, and relieve me from the bonds of the prisson, and again the Lord savd, "go in .a strange laud, and prodicl for thy wife and family." I have now gon to amereke to do"what the Lord had hordered me. Dear mother and brother, I now hope it wil be in my power to return God thankes for his goodness. Doant greive after me, for the Lord knows best what to do for us. Dear mother and brother, the time whil son come, I hop, to meet in Heaven, when never part no more. God bliss you. I shall rite to you as soon as I land. So no more at present, from your dear son,. " WILLIAM DAWES." This, said Mr. Phillips, is a symptom of the times, when it is proposed in Parliament to prevent us from eating and drinking on Sundays. Here was the - plaintiff thanking his Lord for having enabled him to cheat his creditors and run off to Ame rica. He hoped the jury would give him a farthing, which he might wear about his 'neck, to show the Americans what was the reward given by a British jury to a man who had thus cheated his creditors, and attempted to oppress a poor man, like the sheriff's officer, in this case. Mr. Serjeant TALrounn replied, and contended that this was no reason why the plaintiff should not receive justice for the injury which he had sustained. Mr. Justice PARKE summed up the case, describing the plaintiff,as " an infamous rogue and a canting hypocrite." The jury found a verdietfor plaintiff—Damages, one farthing. Whereupon Mr. Justice PARKE said he should certainly cer tify to deprive the plaintiff of his costs.

IMPORTANT TO POST-MASTERS.--In the case of "Ham mond versa* Hooley," tried at our late assizes, in which a verdict was given for the defendant, Hooley, (the re spectable landlord of the George Inn, at Knutsford,) it appeared, that when a post-master sends out a job for two or threemiles and does not bring back, the duty-master is entitled to one shilling for each horse. But when he sends out 'a job under eight miles, and brings back, , the duty-master is to have one-fifth of the earnings, or Is. 9d. a horse. To ensure the fifth, however, the post master must enter the charge in the money column in the Stamp Otlice weekly account, which was never done or thought of until a late order was given for the pur pose. In this .case the action was brought to recover, four years' deficiencies in duty arising from short jobs, not bringing back, where a fifth of the earnings had been paid, instead of one shilling for each horse, or in other words, where eighteen pence had been paid, instead of 25.; and also for deficiencies in short jobs, bringing back, where one-fifth of 'the charge had been actually 'paid, but the charge itself not entered in the money column, and this omission, the plaintiff' contended, entitled him to have that fifth made into is. 9d. a horse. The jury, however, seeing no fraud intended, and evidently con ceiving the action an ungracious attempt to enforce the enactments of a very penal statute, by a mere inadver tent omission of an entry, observed by the plaintiff every six weeks for the last four years, and never once; noticed by him to the defendant, after much deliberation . gave their verdict for the defendant, to the apparent sa tisfaction •of a crowded court.--,ln .a similar action bronght against - .Mr Willoughby, of the Albion Hotel, in this city, the plaintiff withdrew his record.—Cizester Courant. THE Mali..—We mentioned the week before last that it war intended to accelerate the Mail so that we should receive the letters and newspapers much early than before. The new regu lation came into action on Thursday night, when the mail ar rived here at half-past six, being one hour and a half earlier than before. We understand the shortening of the time of run ning the mail will be a great convenience to the Glasgow peo ple, who will, by this means, save one day's post.—Preston Pilot 'An important association is forming at this moment, having for its objectto hasten the emancipation of the Jews on all points of the globe. The association is to be divided into committees, and composed of citizens of all nations. Among the founders and members of the provisional committee are Gen. Lafayette, the Count de Lastcyrie, M.

Thayer, Leon Halevy, Cassia; and several distinguished Poles, and the celebrated Fenimore Cooper, are members of the society.— French Paper. PUNISHMENT OF DEATII.—A return has been presented to the House of Commons of " the number of persons indicted and tried at the last Michaelmas and Epiphany Quarter Sessions, for each county in England and Wales, for offences which; - prior' - prior'to the passing of the Acts 2d and 3d William IV. c. 34, 62, and 123, would have been capital felonies." By this return it ap pears that the number in England was 69 in Wales there were none. This would have been an interesting document if the number of convictions had been stated, because that would hale shown the amount of human life spared by these acts. EXECUTION.—On Saturday last three unfortunate convicts suffered the extreme penalty of the law behind York Castle, pui suant to their sentences at the last assizes —viz., Ebenezer Wright, aged 29, of Rotheram, for setting fire to two stacks; T. Law, aged 25, of Knottiugley, labourer, for having cruelly beaten '1 homas Atkinson, 61 that place, on the 12th of Januaiy , on the highway near Pontefract; and Mary Hundter, aged 47: of Lotheiton, near Aberford, for counselling and abetting Han nah Gray (a girl of weak intellect) to set fire to three corn stacks, the property of Mr. Marshall, of Lotberton: WRITING ON NEWSPAPERS.—By a recent regulation at the General Post-office, all newspapers sent by post, containing anything written or marked on the margin of the paper, is lia ble to a heavy postage. A date or initials, or "A. \V." for "All's well," or any other private mark on the outside of the cover also render the paper noble to postage. LISTON BULWAR AT FULL LENGTH.—Never was there a finer or mote graphic sketch of a mischievous' Marplot than John: Fawcett hit off for Liston Bulwer, at the Covent Garden Fund Dinner:—" I am ready," said the veteran, " to admit that there are persons willing to resuscitate. the expiring Drama, if they knew how; but so confused, so ignorant, these Would-be friends appear to me, that when they do take up the cause tires , are like the officious footman, who when his mistress dropfed her periwig, picked it up, and put it on the hind part-before," There stands Noddy Bray Bulwer as large as life—and we only regret, that he was not present to be shamlid out of' his pitiful attempt to make the restoration of the Drama subservient to his own egregious vanity. Another favourite subject with the Grey administration, be fore they had tasted the enjoyments, or known the experience of office, was that of our immense standing army—which they let slip no opportunity to assail with the utmost vehemence, as being not only, they pretended, a grievous burthen to the state, but au forming a most unconstitutional power against the people. Yet, now these army-hating patriots are themselves the ministry of the day, they cannot do without a considerable increase of this said grievous burthen to the state, and most unconstitutional power against the people. The Duke of Wellington's atiminis lration were content with some-81,000 and, odd men as the land forces of the British empire; but Earl Grey's ministry cannot possibly do with less than about some f)o,ooo—an increase of almost one-eighth part of the whole.—Carlisle Patriot. DUNDEE.—lmmediately on the receipt of the intelligence , of Mr. Kinloch's death, Provost Lindsay was requested to call a meeting of the inhabitants, and a paper was set on foot for a sub scription for the purpose of requesting Sir H. Parnell to bevomo -candidate for the representation of Dundee. A meeting was ac cordingly summoned to take place in the Steeple Church, at three o clock. By this time upwardi - of 200 'signatures of men of all parties were adhibited to the requisition. There were pro bably 1600 present at the meeting, of whom one-third might be electors. Provost Lindsay was unanimously called to the chair, when resolutions were moved by Mr. Christie in favour of Sir Henry Parnell; and it was agreed that a requisition should be sent Co him inviting him to comeforward as member fdr the burgh. In conclusion, it was urged that a committee should be appointed to take charge of the subscription to thp requisition, and that, if possible, it should be sent oft by that night's mail.— It was understoodithat if it were suitably subscribed Sir H. Par nell was prepared to come down to Dundee and make his sen timents at once known to them.—Dundee Courier. Sir. Andrew Agnew's Bill for the better observance of the Sabbath is not likely to meet with a favourable reception._ All parties seem to condemn it as attempting to accomplish impos sibilities. Far be it from us to speak of it in the harsh and indecorous terms which some of the London Journals indulge in; but even the most sober and judicious among them appear to be of opinion, that however praiseworthy may be the design, or the desire to promote the interests of religion, rigorous enact s, ments are more likely to defeat than secur e th a t laudable ob ject. Iu nineteen cases out of twenty the existing laws would be found sufficient were they duly enforced. Swearing, drunk enness, public pastimes, end open profanation off' all kinds on that sacred day are already pronounced criminal, and the Sta tute-Book provides for their punishment. No human laws can make men pious, or compel them to pay a sincere or inward re verence to religion. All they can do is to prevent violations of outward decorum, and oblige the sceptic or the licentious to do it public homage by an orderly walk and conversation. Be yond.this we suspect the efforts of the Legislature will be vain. —Edinburgh Advertiser. UNLUCKY the earls' part of the month of October last, a person named Moore, a'baker, living in Union-street, Salford, having occasion to leave his house for a few minutes, late on a Saturday night, found on his return that the doors of the house had been opened, and 3-13 sovereigns stolen therefrom. Three men had been seen lurking about the house for about two hours. Two of them were captured, convicted, and sentenced to transportation; but the third absconded, and did not return to town until. Sunday last, when he came t o s ee hi s f r i en d s , an d was pounced upon by John Diggles, of the Salford police, and conveyed to the New Bailey. ne prisoner, whose name is W. Morris, was identified as having been seen in company with the men who were convicted, both prior to and after the robbery, and he was also identified as being one of the men seen lurking about Mr. Moore's premises. Upon hearing this evidence Mr. Foster committed the prisoner for trial.—lbid. RAICAL RETALIATION. Doubtless the pleasure is as great Of being cheated as to cheat; As lookers-on feel most delight Who least perceive the juggler's sleight. lIUDIII,RAS. " Put on your hats, gentlemen," quoth the town-piper of Leith, as Arthur Seat reverberated to his oratory. " Put oil your hats, gentlemen," repeated the Exchequer Sincturist, as he addressed his Radical Auxiliaries, " or I must p u t of mine!" This was excellent`—ainl all parties, both .the deceived and the deceiver swam together in a smooth sea of milk and honey, while the Whirr-refoim-anchor was " let go." Then came th e elections;—his e 'Majesty's Advocate-General discovered no dere liction of duty in throwing off, at that excited time, his charac ter of conservator of the King's peace ! In the Waterloo Rooms, he, with precipitation and .glowing words, played the spouting demagogue, praised his mob audience, and attributed ail the credit of the Reform business to their timness—tbat is to say, their turbulence and intimidation! He told them, that bad laws enacted by the people themselves, were proferAble to the best that could be framed for them ! That be would consi der hiMself unworthy of being their representative in Partin-, ment, were he to hesitate to give his support to every measure which the.people believed to ,be for their benefit ! By these, and other such-like pandering; used simultaneously by the Whig candidates, in all . places, and to all sorts and conditions of men ; the desperate aspirants were hitched into power and place. There is no doubt that their dupes are sadly disappointed in their visionary expectations. They had been all along taught by their leaders that they were a much-injured people, and that the Whig Reform measure would afford a remedy for every pos sible evil they could complain of ! The political power, how -ever, which the headlong 14Whigs have thrown i n t o th e hands of their fellow-labourers in the trade of convulsion, in their baste to obtain rule and domination, is of too tempting a kind not to be used in avenging the discontented bponthose whom they now consider as having outwitted and deceived them. But the. Whir innovators—evil betide them !=have outwitted theriisqves, and, incurred to their country a fearful responSibility. The have, by their criminal ambition, opened a door leading, tooivisibly, to the destruction. pf our once groat and happy native land.-- The breach they have Made, in the institutions under which we -hisve become powerful and prosperous above our neighbours, forms a wide-extended entrance to an anariyhy, which all their accompanied with the sincerest-c6Wfrition for their fatal errors,. cannot build up again.—EtliOursill grening Pest.
