So said Professor Swedour, when he dis eyed his grand PANACEA for this Complaint, The "Rtigean ilk" (then un known to th e annals of medical discoveries,) - a specific reme dy to exterminate from the system, that intruder on the plea sures frequently imbibed in moments of inebriation, or thought lessness : never did a ,discavery excite a greater sensation, it was so ng nt. 4 1:; e r pith avidity, and used with undeviating success iu the most minute and i n t r i ca t e cases o f the d e li ca t e cure complaint, for the of which, they have been so long cele brated. The fame of thesa Pills throughout Germany, caused their speed introduction into almost every country, and ad dresses were presented to the talented Professor Swedour who filled the chair at Leyden University, congratulatory of the cir cumstance. The certainty with which they acre continually administered, can be attested by many thousands, in fact during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What Medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satis faction. The Hvgean Pills root out every particle attic: insid uous poison, purifying in their progress the wholeinass of fluids, they not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser hu mours and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to con vince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers, they neither contain mercury or any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery— they require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. The. Hygean Pills may be depended upon as a cer tain cure by persons of either sex, in all stages of a certain dis ease, and teat without p r oduci ng th e l east inconven i ence.

PROSPECTUS OF 4 JOINT STOCK BANKING COMPANY, TO BE CALLED THE SOUTH LANCASHIRE BANKING COMPANY, Capital Ato,ooo, in 50,000 Shares of £lO each. THE system of J o i n t St oc k B an ki ng i s now so genera ll y known, that it is needless to enter into any detail of it, in the short space of a Prospectus. The Joint Stock Banks hitherto established in Manchester, have either confined themselves exclusively, or nearly so, to the business of the town, or have extended themselves in the shape of District Banks over this and the adjoining counties. When it is considered that Manchester is surrounded by towns possessing, individually, immense populations, actively engaged in trade and manufactures, each in a great degree dependent on the other for support, it is at once obvious that a very large field for the successful operations of Joint Stock Banking still remains. The town of Manchester contains a opylation of upwards of 250,000; Bolton, 45,209; Oldham 2,381; Roch dale, 20,110; Ashton-under-Lyne, 15,222; a Bury, 15,086; in the whole, near half a million, and all !lowing the same pursuits; yet it appears most strange that o Joint Stock Bank has hitherto been established for the pu ose of combining ex clusively the energies of these towns, omprising as they do the great manufacturing district of 'o h Lancashire :—as thus might be obtained the security of a nk, whose operations are confined to a single town, with the enefits and advantag es of the district plan, without adopting the exclusivene ss o f the one, or the two extensive ramifications of the other. That there is ample space for another Joint Stock Bank in this vast and rapidly increasing district is very clear, when it is considered that at the present moment there are in successful operation in Edinburgh alone, (with a population barely one - third so large as that intended for the sphere of this Bank,) fourteen Joint Stock Banks; whereas, in this part of south Lancashire, there are as yet only four Joint Stack Banks in actual existence; two of which were only established three years ago, and those within two mouths of each other, yet the dividends of both have exceeded the most sanguine expecta tions, and the shares now bear a high premium. It is intended to establish a Joint Stock Bank for this Dis triet alone, to comprise Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Ashton under-Lyne, and Bury, with a Local Directory, and an appro priation of shares according to the amount of their respective populations, the business of which will be conducted in that liberal yet safe manlier, as to afford the greatest facilites to the inhabitants of each town, giving to them the same advantages with greater security than they could possess by small Banks established in each. It is therejirre proposed— That a company be formed under the foregoing title, That the !lead B an k b e at M anc h ester, th a t Branch Banks be established as early as practicable, in Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Ashton-under-Line, and Bury; and agericies in such other towns as may be desirable, and that the business be that of a deposit, loan, ago'ncy, discount, and circulation Bank. That the capit it of the Company be £500,000, in 50,000 shares of £lO each. That each person on being admitted a Shareholder pay One incidental to per Share towards defraying the Exp enses to the formation-of the Company, ) a sum of £2 10 s . p er Sh are within one motifirfrom the appointment of Directors, and the further sum of £2 l'Os. per Share within three months after that time, and the remaining £5 in such manner and at such time as the Directors may appoint; three months noticc of any such Call to be in every case given. That all the concerns of the Company be under the manage ment of the general Board of Directors, but that subject to its control the business of its branches be managed by a Board o Local Directors. That the Company be considered as formed when the Shares taken amount to 10,000; that a Meeting of Shareholders be then called, and be held in Manchester, at which the general Board of Directors, to consist of such number as shall he then agreed upon, shall he elected, to continue in office one year. That the Shareholders at each Branch annually appoint their own Board of Local Directors; and that the number of Direc tors at each Board be not less than three nor more than seven. That at the first, and all other meetings of Shareholders, each Shareholder may vot e f or hi mse lf, or by ano th er Shareholder holding his written proxy, and that the Votes be regulated thus: —lO Shares, one vote; 30 Shares, two votes; 70 Sh ares , th ree votes; 100 Shares anupwards, four votes. That any Shareholder; holding 50 Shares or upwards, be eli gible to be elected a General Director, and 30 Shares,. a Local Director. THE NEW iiARRIAGE BILL, The following petition has been sent to Lord Sandon, who will present it to the House of, Commons, and application has been made to Mr. Ewart, our other representative, and to all the borough and county members of Lancashire, to give it their support. It will be presented to the House of Lords by the Earl of Aberdeen, who is an elder of the church of Scotland : "To the Hon. the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, the petition of the Lancashire Scot tish Church Presbytery " Humbly showeth, "That your petitioners are ministers and elders, deriving from the church of Scotland their ecclesiastical authority, and exercising the same in congregations consisting chiefly of natives of the sister kingdom, of which congregations there are throughout England upwards of sixty. "'That your petitioners, wile most scrupulously anxious not to disturb, either by word or deed, the institutions of that part of the empire where they reside, do yet regard with pl easure the change contempl a t e d in the law pertaining to the celebra tion of marriage, as indicated in the bill now before your honourable house. ." That, seeing the measure is designed to be comprehensive, and, so far as essentials will permit, accommodating to a)I re ligious denominations, your petitioners humbly hope that the peculiar usages of their communion will not be overlooked. That the uniform usage of 'the ministers of their church is, to perform the ceremony of marriage in private dwellings, never in churches—a usage arising originally from the anxiety to guard the people from regarding the ceremony as a sacrament, and now confirmed by lengthened custom. "That, therefore, the humble request of your petitioners is, that the ministers of their communion in England may, on re ceipt of a legal certificate of registration, be permitted to per fOrm the ceremony of marriage in private dwellings; and, in stead of the registrar, the signed attestation of the minister, with that of two or more competent witnesses, may be held in law as sufficient certification that the parties have been united in marriage.

AMSTEn DAM, Feb. 23.—SUDDEN DEATH OF A DUTCH ACTOR. —Yesterday evening a very melancholy event oeeurred in our theatre during the perforn.ance. M. J. I'. Majosski, sen., was suddenly seized with a fit, on the stage, which deprived him of speech. Soon after he was taken behind the scene, M. Engel mann. the manager, informed the public that the performance must be delayed for a few minutes. The public remained in the most anxious susperce, till M. Van Hulst came forward, and stated that the consequence of what had happened to M. Ma josski made it impossible to continue the performa nce, an d t h e spectrtors mi g ht, if they,pleased, receive theiemoney back. The trembling voice and evident grief of the speaker led the public to conjecture the worst, and they soon learned that this esteemed actor had expired in afew minutes after he was seated in a chair, in an - apoplectic fit, an attempt to bleed him h av i n g failed. M. Majosski was 66 Years of age ; had been an actor in our theatre for 40 Years, and - 'was- highly esfeemed by the public, as well as by his brother actors. Size in Indies.

THOMSON pre sented the report of the select committee on the best course in respect of railway bills, where there were several bills having different lines, but.ths same terminus. The report was ordered to be printed. NEW RAII.WAY BtLLs.—The following railway bills were read a second time:—The London and Brighton (Stevenson's line;) the Derby and Birmingham; the Great Western and Cheltenham; the Bristol and Exeter ; ; the Midland Counties ; the Ulster; and the Sheffield and Rotheram. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE.—Mr. JOHN MAXWELL 'brought up a report from the Dublin Election Committee, stating that they hadenet that day and found that since they had last met Sir Rufane Shawe Donkin, who had been originally a member of the committee, had vacated his seat in parliament. LONDON AND GRAVESEND RAILWAY BlLL.—Tills bill was lost on the second reading, by a majority of 115; the numbers, on a•division, being, ayes 62, noes 177. BISHOPRICK OF DURHAM.—In answer to a question from Mr. Hume, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in the absence of Lord John Russell, said that it was the intention of goVernment to brine- forward a bill immediately to regulate the whole subject of the bishoprick of Durham—(hear, hear)—in furtherance of the recommendations of the report of the Ecclesiastical Com mittee, which report he hoped shortly to lay upon the table of the house. It was intended by the bill to make, an equitable adjustment of the present emoluments of the see, so as to secure to the bishop a suitable and becoming income, at the same time that it was proposed to relieve the office from all the civil duties with which that bishoprick had hitherto been encumbered. (Loud cheers.) IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL.—Mr. O'LOGHLEN, in moving the second reading of this bill, took a general review of the report presented by.the commissioners of inquiry. The inferences he drew from this document were, that the Irish cor porations were, in many instances, of no use to the community, in others, injurious; in all, insufficient and inadequate, to the proper purposes and ends of such institutions. The public,dis trust in them attached to their officers and nominees; and the result was a failure of that respect for, and confidentie in; the; ministers of justice and police which ought to subsist in all well" regulated communities. The hon. and learned member then stated various particulars, beginning with the corporation of Dublin, to show the manner in which the public property had been misapplied. After dwelling at considerable length upon the details, he came to the consideration of the remedy, and sug-. Bested, according to the provisions of his bill, that the house, should sanction a system founded upon the same principle as was adopted in the cases of England and Scotland. In furtherance of this plan he proposed that the qualifications in the great towns: should be a £lO yearly rent, but in the small towns a smaller qualification ; and he defied all those who admitted the necessity of reform to suggest a substitute more likely to accomplish that end than the bill which he had presented. . Sir R. PEEL commenced by expressing an anxiety to state his views before a final decision was to be pronounced upon the measure. He then entered at large into the history of the cor porations, and denied the proposition of the hon. and learned gentleman that they were all founded upon popular principles. On the contrary, he maintained that many, of them were esta blished expressly for the confirmation of English government in Ireland—forty-five, or forty-six of the charters were granted mainly for the support of the protestant interest in Ireland. After taking a comprehensive view of this part of the subject, the right hon. baronet proceeded to examine the details of the bill, and to point out .discrepancies between some of its pro visions and those of the English bill. This speech, which con sisted necessasify for the greater partof minute and complicated statements, was remarkable for its perspicuity and force. He strongly resisted the measure of the government, as unsuitable to the general habits of the Irish population, and concluded with the following emphatic appeal to the House :—" We ask you, as you value religious peace —we ask you, as you value equal law—we ask you, as you value the security and integrity of this great empire —(loud cheers from all sides of the house) —not to lend the sanction of your authority—of your legislative and mural authority, to the constitution of these normal schools, in which the science of agitation shall be taught. But, above all, we demand of you respectfully, but firmly, that you will not make the graduates in that school, and the professors of the science of agitation, the chosen instruments for wielding the civil force, and for dispensing public justice. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that the danger of adopting the measure would be far less than the danger of rejecting it; and after combating some of the posi tions of Sir Robert Peel, asked bow those who had supported the Irish parliamentary reform bill, could refuse to support cor poration reform ?

But if the father should die before all the premiums are paid, no further payment will be required in order to 'se cure the Endowment. Lord STANLEY observed that there were now two plans before the House, and it was for the House and the country to'decide upon their respective merits. He justified the conduct of those who, like himself, had supported the Irish parliamentary reform bill, but who doubted "whether it was expedient that in every town in Ireland they should run the risk —nay, should incur the certainty—of mixing up with the administration of her munici pal, affairs those political affairs which they desired to keep separate from them, but with which, unfortunately, they were certain to be mixed up in the state of political and religious parties in Ireland." The right hon. gentleman had assumed that the bill of the government would be a good measure for Ireland; but he was bound to prove, instead of assuming, that it would be a good measure, and not a curse to that country. After some remarks from Mr. Shell and other membeis, the second reading was agreed to without a division. Sir R. PEEL. stated that on Monday, on the order of tha day for going into committee on the bill, he Would Move an instruc tion to the committee to adopt his plan. if the House should reject that motion, he would not give the government much. trouble with respect to the details of the measure.—Adjourned. The premiums for endowing existing children are made re turnable, if desired, in case they do not attain the age of endow ment. • The parties endowing future children will be entitled to four fifths of the profits, the above premiutns being more than suffi cient to enable the Society to fulfil its engagements.

The Bishop of Gloucester pre sented a petition from the inhabitants of Cheltenham, praying that travelling on the sabbath day by railroads, might not be permitted. Lord Teynhain' presented a petition from Mary Ann Booth, complaining oCcertain magistrates who had caused her to be imprisoned, on a charge whith the petitioner alleged was unfounded, because the grand jury had ignored tho.bill presented. against her. After some discussion the petition was laid on the table: The Forest of Dean bill, the Exchequer bills bill, and the transfer of Aids' bill were severally' read a third time and passed.

The re solutions he had to propose WOtiM be to the effect; first, that the house should give' in;tructions to whatever committees a rail way bill might be referred to, to inquire into the several points adverted t ) in the various petitions, as subjects on which the house should have information ; the second resolution referred to divisions in committee, and the attendance of members; the third regarded giving time for the nomination of list com mittees, to which the several railway bills, where these were competing bills, referred; and with a view to i i dj us t men t be tween the parties, th a t bills for the second time should be re ferred to the same cotmuittee ; the fourth resolution empowered the house to refuse' to give further tithe to committees for. making reports, except under 'special circumstances, in order that no delay should take plebe in bringing the hills before the house; the fifth and last was, that the house, whenever there should be three railway bills before it in a state for the further consideration of the report for the committee, would take the discussions on Tuesdays, prior to the notice of motions, or other private business. The resolutions and 18 regulations for th e government o f com mittees were put and carried. MEDICAL WITNESSES AT CORONERS' INQUESTS. Mr. WAKLEY moved for leave to bring in abill to provide for the payment of medical witnesses at coroners ' inquests. He. did not say that the time of medical men was of more import ance to themselves than time was to other men; but the duty they had to perform was exceedingly important, and the know ledge most difficult to acquire. A medical man bad sometimes to make a post-mortem examination, which lasted for 12 or 14 hours, and et when he laid the result before the coroner and claimed compensation, the reply of the coroner was, that he had no power to award the,slightest remuneration. The subject to them was not so important as•tt was to the public. The in quests which had taken place in town and out of town, within a few days, showed the importance of the subject. He alluded to the inquests held on the bodies of persons who had died in cott : sequence of having taken quack medicines, and would say thai that was a subject which required the interference of govern ment. He only put it to the honse what would be the result if medical men refused to attend ? What verdict would be re turned? None, and the ends of justice would be defeated, as it had been in numerous cases. Looking at all the circumstances of the case, he trusted the house would not refuse to sanction some small remuneration to medical men engaged on slch a duty. The hon. member concluded by moving for leave to bring in the bill. Tlie ATTORNEY-GENER AL, thought the bill would be exceed ingly useful, and was fully aware that justice had been defeated, owing to the coroners not having the power to enforce at tendance. In answer to a question from Sir R. INGL IS, Mr. WAx LEY said that it would be a matter for future consi deration whether the payment should be made out of the county or other rates. Mr. Warburton, Sir G. Strickland, and Mr. A. Trevor, spoke n favour of the bill. Mr. JERv►s said he believed that, according to law, if a coroner issued a summons, with orders to the churchwarden to serve it on a medical man, remuneration could be claimed by him. Mr. WA K LEY said thal might be the fact to a certain extent ; but if the hon. and learned member looked back be would find that, though a summons was issued, the coroner could not com pel a medical man to attend. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. ENTRY OF TROOPS INTO CRACOW. Sir STRATFORD CANNING for the purpose of putting a ques to the noble lord (Palmerston) relative to a passage in a letter which he had seen in the public papers, stating that a corps of Russian, Austrian, and Prussian troops had entered Cracow. He would read the passage, which was to the following effect:— " Cracow, Feb. 13 . —A corps of the three protecting powers entered the city and territory of the republic yesterday, under the command of the Austrian general, Kaufman Trauensl.'in burg, to enforce the demdnd of the powers made in our republic, .

NEW nousEs op PA R L lAMENT.—Visccrunt Dunoannon laid on the table the report ot' the commissioners appointed to select time plans fur time new • houses of •parliament. The subject was referred to a select committee. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.—On the motion of the Earl of WINC H ILS E A,.a message was sent to the. omminons requesting a copy of the report of the select Committee of that house during the last session of parliament inquiring into the subject of bri bery at elections, together with the minutes of evidence taken on that occasion, to be furnished to the House of Lords.—, Adjourned. because,' as the g-neral sayc, i❑ a proclatnat this demand has not been compiied with by the government of Cracow, not withstanding the means generously offered to it.' At the con clusion of this proclamation, he says, Meantime the opera tions of the administraiion and judicial authorities of the re ' public experience no interruption, of course, however, they are subordinate to the military authority in the measures that relate to the public safety, and the clearing of the territory of the re public. " On referring to the treaty of Vienna, he found that the entrance of an armed force into the capital of that republic was forbidden by the 9th article of that treaty, which was as follows :—" By the 9th article the courts of Russia, Austria, and Prussia agree to tesnect, and always with respect, the neu trality of the free town of Cracow, and therefore guarantee that no armed force shall enter it on any pretence whatever." (Hear, hear.) There was no occasion for him to say a ►word further on that head at present than to ask the noble lord whether the government had received any official information on the subject, and whether they intended taking any notice of the transaction? (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said the government had not received any official information relative to the entry of the troops into Cracow, but they had received reports of the discussion between the resident representative of the three powers and the senate of Cracow, touching the expulsion of certain polish subjects which these ministers had required. At the same time, it was not improbable that troops had taken possession of the place, and that 'might considered an infraction of the treaty of Vienna in reply to the question of his hon. friend, he would say that the government would direct their immediate attention to the subject, but the house would not at that moment require him to say whal further course they intended to pursue. The house was counted out at eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. RAILWAYS.—The Manchester and Leeds railway bill was read a second time. Several committees on railway bills were nominated, agreeably to the resolutions proposed by the com mittees on railroads. CAN LOW ELECTION.—Mr. WALT. ACE presented four petitions from the county of Carlow, contradicting the statements of the member for that county. Mr. PERCE VA L said the usual practice on presenting petitions of that nature was to give notice, and suggested that Mr. W al lace had better follow that cours e . This he agreed to by withdrawing his notice and giving notice that he would present it on the following day. Left sitting. LIVER THEATRE, CHURCH-STREET.

THE Subscribers to the Fancy Dress Ball and Mas erade, held on the sth January last, having expresse their un qualified approbation.at the superior manner in ich it was conducted on that occasion, the Project or , M r . TER STUBBS, Leader of the ROYAL If ARMONIC BAN ,at the sugges tion of his friends has again made arrangetne s pith Mr. Lucas for the use of the EXTENSIVE REPOS 'ORY for the pur pose of giving a second GRAND FANCY TE, which he assures his Patrons will be a similar SCALE of GRANDEUR and RESPECTAB[ Il'Y that characterized the former one. The SPACIOUS ACCOMMODATION for DANCING, and the facilities afforded for THE DISPLAY OF FANCY COSTUME in GRAND PROMENADE, must be obvious to all acquainted with the extent of the Repository, and these advantages, com bined with the excellent performances of the SELECT QUA DRILLE BAND, will, he trusts, render the amusements of the Evening pl easant, j oyous, and recreative. The whole of the arrangements will be under the direction of a Committee of Gentlemen, who have kindly offered to officiate as Stewards, and the conduct of the Ball altogether will bear a close contrast with THE MASQUERADES OF THE METROPOLIS. The Ball will take place on THURSDAY next, March 10. Terms of admission—Gentlemen's Tickets, I2s. each; Ladies' Ditto, Bs., refreshinents included. Doors to be opened at Eight, and Dancing to commence at Nine o'clock. Tickets to be had of Mr. Stttbbs, 5, Bridport-street, Liver pool, and at the usual places.

We have received New York papers to the 10th of February, at which period that city was suffering severely from an intense frost, many parts of the adjacent rivers being unnavigable. On the Ist February the official journal of Washington ntimated, for the first time, that an offer of mediation lad been tendered to the United States government .by he British resident; but whether that offer had-been ac cepted, or would be accepted, it says it .had not been "advised." Up to the latest date nothing further had transpired on the subject. It.is also remarkable that Mr. President JACKSON had made no communication to Con gress relative to the proffered mediation. Important though the matter be, the people of the states and the members•of the legislature know nothing of it officially. If the president had been anxious to avert any hostile collision with France, or 'prevent the interruption of trade, it is reasonable to think that he would have taken the earliest Opportunity of announcing the overture to the national representatives. By all the rules of cour tesy he was bound to notice publicly the friendly and pa cific interference of the British government. In not do ing so he casts something like a slight4nn the disinte rested offer of Lord PALMERSTON. He not only does not thank our illustrious minister for foreign affairs—he ac tually, like a surly kitchen-maid, slaps the- door in his face without saying a word. Perhaps Mr. President was ❑ot at the time in the very best of humours, but that is a poor excuse for his bad manners. Upon the whole we adhere to our former opinion, that this offer of mediation will not in the least shake the re 'solution or retard the measures of General JACKSON. He is too old a soldier to be out-manoeuvred by a dandy statesman, or tricked out of his money by a shabby pre text for further , delay or longer credit. If England chooses to pay the million, that is another affair; but Lord PALMERSTON would hardly go the length of en gaging to do that, and yet we do not see why we should not pay the' money to prevent France from going to war, 'as we paid Russia a few years ago in the matter of the Russo-Dutch loan ! If his Majesty's ministers are allowed to proceed with their pernicious schemes for rendering what a certain knave calls " justice to Ireland," we do not see how it is possible to avert a civil war in Ireland. The "jus tice" which the lawless scamp to whom we have alluded demands, is power. He declares he will not be content until the voice of numbers is permitted to prevail in Ire land. He will not be satisfied with a fair share of power in the ratio of property and intelligence, because he knows that the popish faction to which he belongs, and the filthy priests whose servant he is, have little either of the one or the other. He, for his ambitious objects, as serts that the wretched peasant who trembles in the pre sence of a Maynooth mountebank in the vestments of a magician—who lives in a-hovel with his pig—who kneels down before a bit of pate; mad . can be'persuaded that he ence, and all the abuse of upstart authority, into the hands of the popish priesthood. If passed into a law it will turn Ireland, not only into a confederacy of rebels, but a vast portion of it into a community of heartless and hardened assassins ; and before it is six months in opera tion it will compel the protestants of the north—a bold, brave, and fearless people—to take up arms in their own defence, for the protection of themselves, their wives, and children. But why, will probably be asked by some simpering half liberal of good intentions and easy virtue—why not trust the Roman catholics of Ireland, who form the vast proportion of the population, with the management of corporate trusts, the administration of local justice, and the control of borough patronage ? Why ? We will tell you—for this is not the time to mince matters—be cause no faith whatever can be placed in the papists of Ireland. We cannot trust them because, under the in fluence of their dishonest and DENs-polluted priests, they cannot be believed on their oaths in any matter that jars with the interests of their abominable church, and because they are, almost to a man, the rancorous and in domitable haters of the protestauts and the pure religion of the Church of England. Are we asked our reasons for this belief ? Here they are. In every political negotiation that the government or the people of England have had with the Roma❑ Ca tholics of Ireland, the latter have proved false and treach erous. When did they ever keep any engagement ? When the franchise was given to the Roman Catholics of Ireland, some forty or fifty years ago, their leaders told us that with this concession they would be content—that all religious feuds would cease, and that national prospe rity would be the reward of British liberality. We pledged them in the goblet of unsuspecting sincerity, and they returned us the poisoned bowl. In 1798 they were in open rebellion against the crown of England After the rebellion came a short, but a delusive, calm. The tiger that had been bled bad regained new vigour, and thirsted for more blood. The scoundrels we had trusted, and in our unbounded charity had not hanged, commenced the work of patriotism. The grovelling bi got called himself a liberal. The slave of a fetid priest passed as a whig. The sons of house burners and rebels reared at Maynooth as priests, at the expense of Eng land, became candidates for independence like parish paupers, by first decrying and then turning like angry vipers upon the hand which had fostered and fed them. Some vapid tories of immensely circumscribed intellect, who were content to feed upon borrowed ideas which had no resting place but in ,expediency, took part with the pretensions of these ill-used and blackberry-babes in the wood. CANNING, CASTLEIIEAGII, HUSKISSON, PALMERS - TON, and many others who never will figure, except lu dicrously, in the history of British statesmen, were all in favour of what the foppish and liberal folly of the clay called " catholic emancipation." It was this hybrid set of superficial torie4 who encouraged the various associa tions of papists in Ireland which have inflicted such dire miseries upon the people of that country. They se cretly encouraged the seditious combinations of men who were in heart rebels. The doctrinaire, Lord LIVERPOOL, was a soft. milliner, of plain trimmings, but of conse quential vanity, easily inflated, and as easily imposed upon, in their hands. The world said that Lord LIVER POOL had no prepossessions in their favour. It was his I forte to appear to have none. Ile may have been sin cere, but it was Lord LIVERPOOL, so honestly endowed, who cultivated neutrals at the expense of true friends-- who leaned to the opposite party in all his patronage— who despised those Nvlto worked hardest in defence of his avowed principles--and who courting the alliance of those who execrated him, turned his own best friends in• to bitter enemies. Lord LIVERPOOL'S reign was the most inauspicious of ,any in our modern political history. He not only lost the confidence of those who had served him on the score of principle unthanked and un ' rewarded, but he suffered every quack upon the opposite side, to rob, and devastate, and retire unpunished. The editor of the London Courier, could, if he felt disposed, explain what we mean. Some of tile cheap-shoppery of our contemporaries have alluded to this subject. In cha rity, we have not noticed them; but They must not tempt us too far. One word from us would annihilate the most active and ingenious of their ministerial con temporaries. He knows it! But the pliable policy of Lord LIVERPOOL led to the organization of the rebel societies and the Roman Ca tholic association of Ireland. There again the British public were most monstrously imposed upon. They were told—forgetting the old lie of the priests about the fran chise—that if the papists of Ireland were admitted to parliament there would be for ever an end to all agita tion, to all outrage and all crime. Declare us, said they, only eligible to the honours of representatives, and Ire land, the gem of the sea, will become a . second Canaan, where peace shall be uninterrupted, where honey shall drop from the leaves of conciliation, where plenty shall hang like icicles from the eaves of a poor man's thatch, where fertility shall throw its charm over the stubborn soil, and the lamb of concession sleep soundly with the papal wolf of reform. They promised us this and a great deal more. They assured us that the admission of Roman eatholics to parliament would stop all the wounds and heal all the sores of Ireland. They told us that concession would be like oil upon the waters—that storm, and turbulence, and agitation would be stayed, and that - - a new and beautiful creation, decorated with all the mo ral attributes of peace, and health, and happiness, would join in hailing England the kindest of mothers and the serves Gory by perpetrating the most fearful crimes—he asserts that such a - man is entitled to the same apportion ment of sufFrage as the owner of a thousand acres, who is well educated, unprejudiced, generous, benevolent, and equally above want and temptation. Such is the doctrine of the forensic leader of the Irish rebels, who holds his Majesty's ministers in chains! Does it not make an Englishman sick to listen to such in solence ? Is it not enough to make an Englishman frag tic to learn that such a man has so much influence with the advisers of our most gracious sovereign ? This man, DANIEL O'CONNELL, demands that all the municipal and magisterial power, patronage, and influ ence of Ireland shall be placed at his feet, otherwise he ' threatens a repeal of the union. The despicable minis ters dare not consent to the repeal; but as they are una ble to retain place without the aid of the rebel, they are mean and cowardly enough to concede the power in or der to avoid the threat. This is the whole question in dependence between the British nation on the one hand, and the King's servants and the Irish priests on the other. Repeal would be civil war—the power ready to be conferred by municipal reform in Ireland must lead to ci vil war. On Monday next, as far as the House of Com mons is concerned, this momentous question of war or peace —peace such as it is—is to be decided. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S bill for destroying and re-creat ing corporations, sheriffs and borough justices in Ireland, was read a second time on Monday last. Its provisions are the full sacrifice required by and yielded to O'CoN NELL for his corrupt support in parliament. It is a bill of surrender of those protestant principles and privileges for assailing which JAMES If. lost his crown, and was very near los* his head. It professes to be a bill giving to all classes of the population of Ireland the privilege of electing the various officers and legal functionaries of all cities and towns. It is therefore apparently a most li beral bill. It is a project with a fair exterior but a frau dulent design. Under the form of justice it aims at po pish ascendancy, and must lead to strife, oppression, and despotism. If passed into a law it will be impossible, with any regard to personal security or the safety of pro perty, for any protestant to live in Ireland, except amongst the brave presbyterians of Ulster. If passed into a law it will throw the whole government and local judicatory of Ireland—all the patronage, all the influ- most benignant mistress of the world. We yielded! Charity made a large and liberal dis count to principle. We yielded ! We melted down the dying words of our fathers, as a current coin which had little value in a liberal age. We banished our fears—we even affected to laugh at our foolish prejudices—we shook hands with popery—and what. then ? we answer ? The answer is written in the deNls, MARCII 4, 18.6 Our reporter, it would appear, committed a mistake on Tuesday last with respect to some matter in which Mr. THOMAS HARVEY was concerned. The report rune thus :-- 0 "The Mayor announced that he had received a letter from Mr. Thomas Harvey, solicitor, begging to withdraw his claim for legal compensation." Mr. THOMAS HARVEY requests us to state, that the following were the words used by the chief magistrate : "The Mayor announced that he had received a letter from Mr. Thomas Harvey, solicitor, begging to withdraw HIS PRX TENSIONS to any legal appointment under the Corporation!" This is certainly a distinction without much difference. How far separate claims are from pretensions we do not venture to decide, but when a gentleman seeks to be ap pointed to some lucrative situation it is generally sup posed he has claims of some kind, in talents, or in ser vices rendered. Mr. THOMAS HARVEY, solicitor, did not claim compensation, he only sought for place. He was willing, we do not say able, to serve the corporation in some legal capacity, for so many pounds a year, and he sent in his pretensions for that purpose to the Mayor. We should like to see a copy of that application. What had Mr. T/TOMAS HARVEY, solicitor, the humility to ask for? Surely he did not aspire to fill the office of town clerk for less than Mr. RADCLIFFE valued himself at, particularly after what Mr. RATHBONE has said of the capacity of all the other attorneys of Liverpool. Perhaps he only sought to be clerk to the magistrates, and finding no chance of that honour and its emoluments being con ferred upon him, he had the good sense to hedge out. It is important, therefore, that the community should know that "Mr. THOMAS HARVEY, solicitor, has withdrawn his pretensions!" There was a fierce skirmish and something like a split in the Town -council on Wednesday, about an affair of money, in which Mr. WILLIAM RATIIBONE was cruelly pummelled and beaten. At a former meeting Mr. RATH BONE proposed to fix the salary of his friend the town clerk at £2,500, and in order to induce the council to agree to it, he stated that Mr. ItAncLiFFE's private busi ness was worth that income.' As a second inducement, he asserted that Mr. RAdCLIFFE was the only attorney in Liverpool competent to discharge in an able mannerthe duties of town-clerk. At the Meeting on Wednesday, when the salary was finally disposed of Mr. RATHBONE forgot, or did not em ploy his first arguments in favour of his friend. He did not say a word about Mr. RADCLIFFE'S professional in ' come ; he enlarged upon his immense abilities and superior integrity, his physical powers, and other ac quirements both of the sublime and the ridiculous, but he did not reiterate that RICHARD was the only attorney. He concluded by moving that his salary be £2,500 per annum, The council did not value the learned functionary of such mental and physical powers so highly. Some of the members contended that a respectable solicitor might be had for £1,500 a-year. Others would have paid less, A few were in favour of the larger salary, but the majo rity decided that Mr. RADCLIFFE was not worth, by 20 per cent., what Mr. RATIIBONE had valued him at, and they accordingly cut off the £5OO and voted him £2,000 a-near! How Mr. Town -clerk stomachs this, we cannot tell. Either Mr. RATIIIIONE stated what was untrue, when he asserted that Mr. RADCLIFFE made £2,500 by his private business, or Mr. RADCLIFFE, by giving up £5OO for the good of his country, is not the very wisest man in the world. The town-clerk, however, has until to-day to decide upon the offer. If he take it, we shall suspect that Mr. RATHBONE committed a--mistake ! There is, as we said in our laSt, to be a deputy town clerk with £l,OOO a-year, but who the fortunate scribe is to be has not been officially announced. The council, however, seem determined to keep the appointment in their own gift. This is far from being liberal towards Mr. RADCLIFFE. Hite be a gentleman of such splendid talents and such unspotted integrity as he is said to be, and we have no donbt is, why not intrust him with the privilege.of appointing his own deputy ? the professions, the declarations, and the perjuries of the papists since 1829. The principles of popery, as they obtain in Ireland, have been made manifest. We have the broadsheet of iniquity and falsehood spread wide and glaringly before us. Where are the Whig advocates of Ireland ? Where are the English patriots who con tended for the honour which has been abused and for the integrity which has been defiled ? There is fraud and " something more" written upon the face of it. The Jesuit has stepped in between the conciliator and the claimant. 'The power of the one is acknowledged; the fidelity of the other is questioned. We have the secu rity of promises that are violated, and of oaths that are broken ; but in no one article, in no one thing, have the papists of Ireland kept faith with the protestants of Eng land. On being admitted to the British parliament they swore they would take no part in any measure which had for its object the impairing of the national church ; but despite their oaths they have been engaged in a per petual warfare against the church, robbing it of its re venues, voting its bishops into oblivion, sapping and undermining our sacred institutions in all directions. And yet we are invoked in the name of Justice to confer additional power upon these men ! They have got a large portion of the representation of Ireland into their hands, and yet they thirst for more influence. .Beggars sit in the house, not worth a groat, while the indepen dent landowners of Ireland are excluded; but not con tent with this, they demand the corporations also. These must not be surrendered or Ireland is LOST FOR EVER i If in some towns trusts have been abused, let these trusts be recalled, and the corporations destroyed ; but for the sake of mercy and peace do not open them up to the agents of the priests. Do not utterly destroy the country by placing municipal patronage and power in worse hands. LONDON LATEST NEWS. City, If ednesdau Evening, Hal/:past Seven o'clock. We have had no colonial arrivals to-day,, and there has been a general dearth of intelligence. The consol market, which was at 913 92 Yes t er d ay f or the account, has gone down con siderably, 9P i I being the last price this afternoon. Exchequer bills are also rather worse, the prem. being 19 to 21, which yes terday was 20 to 22. India bonds remain at 3to 5 pm. In the foreign market there is a great tendency to deprecia tion in the Peninsular bonds, Spanish bonds are at 45, and the passive at 144, as their securities (!) are daily getting in worse odour, the failure of Evans' mercenaries, who, between fear and fever, have nnide a pretty mess of their campaign, the miserable manoeuvres of Mendezabel, who seems as eminent in the cabinet as the lieutenant-colonel does in the field, and the alarm lest the forthcoming dividend should not be paid, all conspiring to cause alarm, disgust, and a desire to. be released from such a perpetual scene of doubt, as cannot fail to be experienced by every holder of Spanish bonds. Nor is the prospect of the Portugueses bondholders such as would lead any one to wish for the occupation of the position they are placed in. The young queen IS fairly at loggerheads with her ministers, and a dissolution of the cabinet was expected when the last accounts left. In addition to this, it is reported that something of a conspiracy had been discovered, which, whether founded on fact or not, has had the effect of depressing the 5 per cents. to 81i, and the 3 per cents. to 51*. The dividends on Russian stock are now in course of pay ment, and the price, ex dividend, is 108. All our northern bonds are very firm. Belgian are at 1031, Dutch 5 per cents. are at 105, the 21 per cents. are 55 1 1, and have been _56 and Danish bonds are at 771. With the exception of the Brazilian bonds, there is very little doing in the transatlantic bonds. Brazilian are 87.1 I • but Chilian are dull at 48149, C o l om bi an at 311, and Mexican'have fallen to 34. The share market continues to monopolize the chief atten tion of the speculator's: The rejection of the Gravesend bill by the House of Commons, has caused Gravesend and Dover shares to be seriously affected, the former from 12 pm., having fallen to 4 dis., and the Dover from & pm. to .1 dis. Almost all the others are, however, on the advance. Great western are at 37 per share, Southampton are 23 1 per share, Preston and Wyre 14 per share, and London and Birmingham are at 125 per share.. A TEETOTAL A LLE R.—On Tuesday night last, as Beswick, the beadle, and Williamson, of the police, were going along Angel street, they saw a young man named Andrew Stinsell in a state of intoxication conducting himself in a most improper manner. The officers took him to the lock-up.
