To reinstate tare system of t, rlnny and terror under which Ireland groaned for centuries, to crush the Cath- lies by th e st rong h an d o f f orce, to b ow t h e nation 's neck once: more under the iron yoke they have shakes off—these, it seems, are the services which the Orangemen expect from Peel—these the terms on which they are willing to sell him their support. We all know what " Prot , scant ascendancy" means ii the mouth o , an Orangeman—it means what " Russian ascendancy' means in Poland, what " Turkish ascendancy* meant in Greece—it means impunity to the strong, tvoe to the weak ; unbridled license to the oppres sor, insult, degradation, and misery to the oppressed. Sir Walter Scott, a witness whom the Tories will scarcely reject, visited Ireland during this system, and describes the Orangeman as stalking a l oo f w i t h su ll en pr id e among his Catholic countrymen, like the descendant of Cortes and Pizarro among the Indians of Mexico and Peru. And this is a system which the people of England are called on to shed their blood and pour forth their treasures to restore—this the system, for the sake of which six millions of attached and loyal subjects are to be converted into irreconcileable enemies—the peace of the empire hazarded, its strength dismembered, its honour tarnished, its resources wasted And is it because the Irish are not such born-idiots as to prefer the men whose savag e threats are ringing in their ears to the Ministers who staid between them and their oppressors, and administer impartial justice to all alike, that they are to be called rebels and aliens, and denounced as enemies of the name of England ? If the Irish are rebels because they prefer Victoria to Ernest, Ebrington to Haddington, Melbourne to Peel, then are the Scotch rebels also--then are the inhabitants of London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, and all the most important cities of the realm, accomplices in this Popish plot, and sworn enemies of the name and religioc of England. The Tories may sneer as the " skin-deep tranquillity" of Ireland ; they. may pretend to see nothing but treason in the loyalty of a warm hearted, affectionate, grateful people ; but can they deny the fact that 10,000 soldiers have been withdrawn from Ireland since Lord Melbourne has oeen in office—that 5,000 more could be spares to-morrow if they were required—that the country was never so tranquil, the executive never so popular, the laws never so respected ? Can the solemn plausibilities of Peal disguise the fact that the day which sees him in office must see an addition of 10,000 men to the stand ing army, to replace the troops withdrawn from Ireland ?

PAISIDINT —The Earl of ROMNEY. VICE-PRESIDENTS. MANSION-HO USE, A man named APLean was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having stolen ten pair of soles in Billingsgate Market. Green, a very active man in the service of Mr. Gold ham, the clerk of Billingsgate Market, saw the prisoner, whom he knew to be a most desperate fellow, walking oa with a hamper of fish, and apprehended him. Un fortunately there was no possibility of ascertaining to whom the fish belonged. Mr. Goldham said that the prisoner was one of those incorrigible thieves upon whom punishment had no effect, having the moment after his discharge from pri son been in the habit of robbing the very place from which he had been committed. An idea of his character might be formed from the fact, that upon one occasion he had flung one of the men employed to watch the market and its vicinity down the hatches of a vessel, and nearly destroyed him. There was an associate of his, whose Practice it was to work in the boats in stealing the best fish, which the prisoner was ready to convey away. The Loan MA7oR--•I see these are excellent soles Mr. Goldharn—Yes, my Lord, they are the best the market can supply. The prisoner never takes any but the best.

The Chief Commissioner asked where Mr. Chambers was confined. Mr. Woodroffe—ln the Fleet Prison, where he has been for some time. Chief Commissioner—What power have we to make such an order, as to commit him to the county gaol ? I thought the question had been discussed in another case. Mr. Woodroffe said he was not aware the question had been decided. It had been argued in the case of a man named Jeremiah Board, who had been many years in the Fleet Prison. The Court would, perhaps, allow him to read the affidavit of Mr. Wilton, in which the urgent necessity of the application was stated. Mr. Cooke remarked that, in the case mentioned, his Learned Friend denied, on the part of the prisoner, the power of the Court to take the man out of the custody of the Warden. The Transfer Books of this Company will he closed on Thursday the 16th, and remain shut until the 31st day of January.

The prisoner said he had been unjustly punished many a time, and that after honestly laying out his hard earned cash in the market he had been accused of steal ing what he had bought. As for the soles just pro duced he had been ordered to carry them out by a person who was well known and respected in the market. Mr. Goldharn said that the persnn alluded to was what the prisoner called his pal, and was no other than the identical rogue who supplied him with the fish from the boats. Mr. Woodroffe—l appeared for Mr. Brown, the Warden, and not for the prisoner. The Court will grant a rule on the affidavit I have in this case.

All that very valuable FREEHOLD ESTATE, known as BOREAS HILL, comprising a Mansion of old date, and 252 Acres of rich land, in a ring fence, in the Parish of Paull, eight miles from the Seaport and Market Town of Hull, only three from the Town of Hedon, and mine from Pattrington. The Mansion is placed upon a gentle eminence, in the midst of well-grown Shrubberies and thriving Plantations, and sur rounded by a noble growth of Timber ; and at a convenient distance, is a Capital Farm House, with all suitable Outbuild ings and Offices, situated in the centre of the lands—and the entire property will Joe found to present attractions in the beauty of the surrounding scenery—its healthy and commanding situa tion, and the well-known richness of the land, well meriting attention, as offering an excellent opportunity whether for investment or oceupatiop. Immediate possession may be had. Printed particulars, with a Plan, may be had on application to Mr. Dunn, Solicitor, Hedon, near Hull ; of Messrs. Tat tersall, Hyde-park-corner ; and of Messrs.

Those marked thus t are members of the English Agricul tural Society. Mr. Woodroffe—We show that Mr. Chambers has, since he has been in prison, received 2,0001., and has control over 23,000/. more. Mr. Goldham—The late Lord Mayor, upon one oc casion, ordered that some fish, found under similar cir cumstances, should be sent to the poor persons confined in that prison ; but they sent word back to his Lord ship not to send any more, except he intended to send some of the proper sort of sauce with them.—(A laugh.) The two items which, telling apparently on different sides of the Government ledger, will attract most at tention in the yearly and quarterly exhibits of revenue, to be found elsewhere, are doubtless those of Customs and Excise. For the whole year, ending the sth of January, 1840, as compared with the correspon•ing year of 1839, there is in— Customs, an increase of £685,484 ENGLISH and SCOTTISH LAW FIRE and LIFE ASSURANCE and LOAN ASSO CIATION.

Mr. Hobler said that, some years ago, the Lord Mayor sent a quantity of very fine smelts to the same prison, and the moment they were divided, the prisoners began to pelt them at each other, and the gaol became a scene of horrible confusion and uproar. The LORD MAYOR then directed that the soles should be sold, and that the proceeds should be transmitted to the Mansion-house, to be divided amongst the poor. The prisoner was then committed.

He asked on his return to what prison it was sought to commit Mr. Chambers. Excise, ident 88,13$ The comparative rate of increase between the two will at once show that. whist, as tested by the Excise, the condition of she nation does not appear absolutely retro gri.s,iee upon the year, the same consolation cannot be, deiived from the improvement in the Customs' de- 1 p.irtn►ent, until we are enabled to ascertain from more &tented information, or re:erence to Custom- House entries, shat % proportion of that improvement ma): be act down to the account of duties on to- reign corn entered for home consumption. In the com mencement of last year, and in the latter part of the pre vious year, considerable quantities of foreign corn were taken out of bond at the lowest, or nominal rate of Is. duty, and therefore no advantage accrued to the Re venue under that head worth mention ; but in the fall season of the year just ended, large entries were made at rates of duty from 6s. to above 10s. per quarter duty, owing to the averages, after descending to a certain point, remaining so stationary, and mar kets with so little prospect of any material rise or fall in prices, that it became worth while to sub mit to the higher duties rather than risk ware housing the corn. Moreover the higher duties were to some extent compensated by the higher prices obtained for sound foreign wheats, necessary to grind up with the more or less damaged and inferior produce of the late harvest both in England and Ireland. Until, therefore, we are in a position to ascertain upon what other articles of import for consumption, other than corn, the year's increase of Customs' revenue bears, we are incompetent to pronounce how far the result may be accepted as really satisfactory, whether in the financial sense or us regards the state of the nation generally.

Mary Ann Wilson, a young woman of very respect able appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, the sitting Magistrate, on the following charge : Police constable No. 103 of the C division stated that between twelve and one o'clock ,on Sunday morning he was on duty in H anover - square , when he was called to by a private watchman named John Partridge, who gave the prisoner into his charge on suspicion of having stolen a geld watch which she had in her possession. The watch was hore handed to Mr. Long for his inspec tion. It, was a gentleman's gold watch of the newest fashion, and very valuable—the handle had been broken as if by being snatched with violence from a guard chain, and there was an indentation on the outer case such as would be caused by its being dropped or thrown on the pavement. The prisoner said that as she was passing along Sheppard-street, Hanover-square, she saw the watch lying in the middle of the footway pavement, and picked it up. Mr. Loric —I don't know to the contrary of what you say. You had a right to pick it up, if you saw it lying on the pavement, as you state. Is the private watchman here ? The Chief Commissioner thought the Court had no power to grant the application ; at all events it had better be made some days hence. Mr. Woodroffe said the Court could under the Act make an order for the commitment of Mr. Chambers to Newgate, or any other prison, for contempt, and it might be lodged at the gate in case he should settle with his creditors and go out of custody ; then he could be taken on the warrant.

James Young was indicted for obtaining, in company with a man named Freeman, not in custody, one sove reign of William Mole, under false pretences. William Mole is a shoemaker residing in the City road. On December Ist Young and Freeman came to prosecutor's. Young produced a paper purporting that Freeman had 751. prize money to receive. Young asked witness to lend Freeman a sovereign on it until the 12th, and he would then return the sovereign and make him a present of ten shillings. Witness gave Young a sovereign, who gave it to Freeman. The paper was left with witness. Witness has never got the sovereign back. Freeman obtained thirteen shillings afterwards of witness, on the same security. He had examined the books, and the certificate was genuine. Cross-examined—A person named Davis had offered to pay witness the money after he had been to Worship street, but witness refused to take it. The Metropolitan Bank, Pall Sir William Forbes, J.

Mr. LONG—There was not the least pretence for locking this young woman up all night ; let her be in stantly discharged.

James Ridgway, Piccadilly. f John Rogerson, Esq., and C. Boyden, Esq. MEDICAL OFFICERS. tion)—Ward, Mr. Parker, and some others, tried to get up a meeting in aid of the Anti-Corn law swindle. The Chartists beat them out of of the Circus, their first place of assembling, and then re lentlessly pursued them to a place called Paradise-square, where the Whig-Radicals sought a refuge, and there beat them soundly again. The beating was all, however, merely figurative, and very peaceable, for though there were hints of a horsepond, and one or two blows struck towards the close of the proceedings, the general conduct of the Chartists was orderly, and Mr. Ward and Mr. Parker were permitted to slink away in safety. The Morning Chronick observed that it is" sorry to say that the proceedings at the Anti-Corn-law meeting at Sheffield by no means correspond with the inference whichit drew from the statements in the address from the working people of that town." It is natural enough that the Morning Chronicle' should be disappointed. The Whigs have held the ignorant populace "by the ears" long enough to expect a perpetuity of in fluence. Their influence is, however, at an end, and now they roust learn to follow those whom they lately drove, or they will be left in solitude. We are not without a hope that the Whigs are making the discovery, and that the country may be permitted to rest from agitation. Ex hibitions like that of Sheffi,ld demonstrate nothing at present but the weakness of the Whir- Radicals ; if persevered in, they will expose the toliy and malignity of the party. Let Om not for a moment flatter themseltes pith the notion, that by incurring the hostility at to. (;iiar tists, the) in the least recomm , lid tiiems , ives to the tavotoahle opinions of the friends of order. No; every mean of common sense sees that their arguments are the arguments of Chartism, and that the inflamed temper which they seek to kindle, is to the fell as dangerous and malevolent as any dispo sition by which the Chartists have been animated. The difference between the Anti-Corn-law agitators and the Chartist agitators is this : the first seek to es cite a disaffection, by which, either masked as " multi force" or nakedly displayed in rebellion, their OWN particular class will be gainers at the expense of all other classes, while the Chartists entertain insane prc ects by which they hope to realize benefits to all classes. This Association affords every advantage consequent upon a well-digested and salutary system of Assurance, and embraces every description of risk contingent upon Life and Fire ; and its leading features arc— An extensive Legal connection, with a Direction and Pro prietary composed of all classes. A liberal .ystom of Loan, whether for a terms of months or years, or upon annuity, in small or large amounts.

CORN-LAW LECTURES.—Mr. Paulton deli vered another lecture on Friday evening, at the Riding School, Blackfriars-road, where there were present be tween 3,000 and 4,000 persons, who listened with the most deep and earnest attention, and during the lecture a silence prevailed not equalled by any religious congre gation, although the speaking lasted two hours, and all the audience stood the whole time. In the Borough the effect produced by the two lectures already deli vered is, that, now that the entire population have no other subject of conversation from morning till night, the public-houses actu sly rin g with the debates of the working classes on the subject. Another lecture is to be delivered by the same Geetleman this evening, at the I_4( other Market Tavern, Bermondsey. We are happy to see the good work prosper. ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING AT QUEEN'S ii - lEaD.—Ten months ago this village was one of the strongholds of Chartism--the mighty' Feargus being the polar star of the working men, and the Five Points their Alpha and Omega. Then the question af a repeal of the Corn-laws was as unpopular as were the Tories in 1832 ; now, however, scarcity of employment, low wages, and dearness of provisions have brought about a re-action, which being observed by a few spirlted and active manufacturers of that place, it was deemed a fitting opportunity to obtain an expression of opinion on the pernicious " Bread Tax." Consequently, at a preparatory meeting —at which a large number of Char tists were present—held on Wednesday week, to con sider the propriety of having a public meeting on the subject, a resolution was unanimously passed that a meeting should be held on New Year's Day. Ac cordingly, on that day, a meeting was held in the Baptist Chapel, to which place it was adjourned from the School-room. The Chapel was crowded in every part : almost to suffocation—there not being fewer than from 900 to 1,000 persons pre sent. The Chartists attended in large numbers. All the resolutions denouncing the iniquitous impost, were carried without a single dissentient, and it was only when it was proposed to petition Parliament on the subject that the opposition commenced. The word " petition" was received with hisses, groans, and yells of a deafening description. A weaver , of the name of Christopher Shackelton, moved an amendment_ r , he con demning, in unmeasured terms, the existen c e Corn-law, declaring it absurd for mastersas of to n" thep etition servants, and that Universal Suffrage first importance. The amendment was seconded o i r t i ira d o e e db o y t a. young man named Jonathan Barstow, a pai d t c u a orator—the same individual wh called the Queen" aJazy wenc b“ o a , o a d t foLrewedbsie, h a weekso conducttghe Leeds Mercury on lY excused bimon th b e ground of ands,insbanity. Not being able to give his decision b y a show of d confusion, to count the numbers, a task of the Chairman proceeded,- in the midst of th e u t most u proar an infinite difficulty, but which he performed with great good humour. Upon his d ec l ar i ng a ma jority pat i ence of a nd 148 in favour of petitioning, a burst of ap plause issued from the Anti-Bread Tax party, and yells and groans from the Chartists, when Barstow announced that a dinner would be given on Friday (yesterday) at Queen's Head, in commemoration of the birthday of the " immortal" Tom Paine. He also proposed three cheers for Universal Suffrage ! three for the " martyr" John Frost ! 1 and three for the memory of Tom Paine !! !—An Anti-Corn-law Association was formed on Monday evening, and at present numbers sixty members. The officers arc very respectable and ef ficient individuals, and every exertion will be used to get the petitions numerously signed.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington •street, Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty. The prisoner being called on for his defence, said that he had a slight acquaintance with Freeman, who asked him in the presence of a person named Davis, if he could procure him a sovereign on this certificate. Pri soner asked his own father to do it, and Davis said he would ask Mole. Prisoner had believed the certificate to be a genuine document, and he denied that he had ever stated he had searched the books, or that he ever had any portion of the sovereign from Freeman. He then called Janetta Lewis, who lives in the same house with him, and was present when Davis came and asked the pri soner to go with the sailor to Mole for the sovereign. After the prisoner was in custody, the prosecutor came to his house and said that if prisoner's wife would make up the sovereign, that was all he wanted. Mole asked if he could not find the sailor : who was he to look to for his money but the prisoner ? Wm. Just said he was present when Mole came to prisoner's wife, and offered to make it up if he were paid the money. The prosecutor having been recalled, denied the statements of the witnesses for the defence ix Into, but said that the prisoner's wife had sent to him for the pur pose of compromising the matter, which he had stated was out of his power.

EXTENSION OF METROPOLITAN POLICE. — During the past week paragraphs have appeared in the papers stating that on the Ist instant the Metropolitan Police were extended to Hounslow and other places within ten miles round the metropolis. That statement. we understand, is not correct, the extension, if any, that has yet taken place being extremely partial. On Sa turday, however, notices were stuck upon most of the doors of the churches of parishes beyond the present police dietriet, announcing to the inhabitants that tile extension will take place on or before Mon day, the 13th instant. The extension, beyond drafting twelve experienced men from each of the town divisions, will only affect the out divisions, which, we are informed, will be extended as follows : The B, or Westminster, division, which has hitherto extendsd only to the top of Sloane -street, will now, in addition, embrace Knightsbridge up to the one mile stone on the Kensibgton road, including all that part of St. Margaret's, Westminster, Brompton, and St. Luke's, Chelsea, heretofore within the 'l' division. The D, or Marylebone division, will be extended over the parish of Paddington, formerly within the T division. Thk! K, or Wapping division, will be extended to Strat ford,.Laytonstone, :Instead, West Ham, Ilford,Barking, and other villages in Essex ; and the L, or Lambeth di vision, with the more eastern villages of Surrey, The M, or Southwark division, has been already extended to liotherhithe, &c., which has hitherto been included in the It division ; and theN, or Islington division, whichhas always been very large, will now be extended as far as Itoniford, in Essex. The P, or Camberwell division, which now extends only to Streatham, will he extended to Croydon, &c. ; and the It, or Greenwich division, to Woolwich, Lewisham, Chariton, Eltharn, and other neighbouring parts of Kent. The S, or Hampstead division, will be extended te Edgware, Stanmore, Hen don, Mill-hill ; Highwood-hill,Finchley, Whetstone, Had ley. Potter's-bar, Barnet, &c. and the 'l' division, which . . &c. tia &c.

By its use the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. There is a rumour that Government has sent orders to withdraw the troops (100 men of the 72d and a few Artillerymen) from Port Natal, in South east Africa. They were sent there some time ago to check the emigration of the Boors from the colony of the Cape, and to prevent as much as possible their warring with and oppressing the na tires beyond the colonial border. Fifteen thou sand souls are now across the frontier, and hundreds still moving. What if • they place themselves under the protection of their old masters the Dutch, or league themselves with savages, and overwhelm the Cape Colony ? The troops cannot be withdrawn from Natal with safety to the Cape Colony.— United Ser vice Gnzettc. RECOLLECTIONS OF JAMES HOGG, " THE ETTRICK SHEPHERD."--HI 3 FARDI AT ALTRIVE.— After a regular day's travel, having l ost our road,or rather line of country, owing to a thick mist that settled down upon the mountains, we arrived late in the evening at the sweet little cottage at the head St. Mary's Lake, where many a fisher has taken up his abode for a few days sport upon its bright and quiet surface.—This cottage was built by Lord Napier, the proprietor, entirely for the accommodation of such knights of the gentle 'art as may chance to find out this solitary but lovely retreat. Here I stayed the night, and started next morning for Mr. Hogg's little farm of Altrive, long the scene of the Shepherd' s too generous hospitality. The small but neat cotta g e in whi c h h e resided was erected by that most ami able Nobleman the Duke of Buccleuch, and the whole establishment was rent-free, " the incentive to which consisted in some very feeling and melodious stanzas which the Poet had written in memory of the late Duchess, whose accomplishments, beauty, and charitable disposition will never be forgotten in Scotland." The f arm was situated upon the south bank of the Yarrow, a sma ll river that flows from " Lone St. Mary' s Silent Lake," and runs through the Vale of Yarrow. There is more than natural silence on those hills, and more than ordi nary melancholy in the sound of that stream. St. Mary's Lake lying at the head of the Vale of Yarrow, is a beautiful sheet of water, about three miles in length by one in breadth, and lies in the bosom of our southern mountains. Dryhope Castle, a ruin near the eastern extremity of the Lake, was the residence of Mary Scott, the " Flower of Yarrow," renowned in song, and who, having been married to Elliot of Mint°, became the ancestress of that ingenious Lady, the author of 1 " The Flowers of the Forest."—Old Sporting Magazine for December.

Just published, price 35., PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS on the NATURE and SYMPTOMS of DROPSY in all its Forms ; in which a new and more correct Plan of Treatment is proposed and explained; with several cases illustrative of its success. It appearing that the prisoner had been previously con victed of a similar misdemeanor, sentence was deferred, in order to give time for making further inquiries about him. John Harwood pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing one pound and three quarters weight of tea, the property of the East and West India Dock Company. Mr. BoUKIN, wbo was instructed on behalf of the prosecutor, said that he felt it his duty to inform the Court that at the time the robbery was discovered, the prisoner had been in the service of the Company a very short time, and upon his being stopped as he was leaving the premises, a quantity of tea of the most valuable kind was found concealed in his boots, hat, pockets, and, in fact, every part of his person. The prisoner received an excellent character, and the Court said that but for this circumstance, it would have have been compelled to send him out of the country. Treating it, however, as a first offence, the sentence was that he should be imprisoned and kept to bard labour in the House of Correction for six calendar months. - S I 0 2 2 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 By RICHARD BRIGHT, M.D. M.R.C.S., &c.

THE CHARTIST PRISONERS IN CHESTER..-- The Rev. Mr. Stephens, and the other Chartists con fined in the Castle, sent a memorial to the County Ma gistrates, which was presented at the Quarter Sessions on Monday, complaining that the Visiting Magistrates had greatly restricted the liberties and indulgences which had been previously shown them. Mr. Stephens also complained of the insulting bearing of Colonel Tomkin son, one of the Magistrates, towards him and others. The Magistrates refused to alter the present treatment of the prisoners. A letter Was then read from, the ,Marquis of Normanby, ordering that the Chartist pri ,soners should lie restored io the indulgences originally granted to them, but that they should have no further favours. No notice was taken of his Lordship's letter. —Cheshire Paper. S 0 0 2 2 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 1 10 0 PROFESSIONAL RECORDS; OR,MARRIAGE MEDI CALLY CONSIDERED. An Original Thesis (in a sealed envelop).
