The report of the death of Mr. Ruthven, communicated in our last on the authority of the Live? pool Chronicle, we find to be unfounded. With respect to Dr. Baldwin, whose name we mention honoris causes—and of whom we say that he could, and would, do much more service to his country out of parliament than in it—there is no ill wish, and as little jest, in saying that we hope, and bz hove, the reports of his approaching resignation to be true. With respect to Mr. Callaghan, we never spared his public character any more than he himself did, but we have never touched on private matters. In alluding to his probable resig nation we merely advert to the circumstance, because we think that the rumour has sufficient consistency, to remind our con servative friends that there may be two vacancies fur Cork be , fore a general election. Both the present members may resign —there is no accounting for tastes. Joking at a funeral is, certainly, as the Cork Reporter observes very properly. and with its usual good tact, bad taste; but we may be excused in Ireland for joining the fashion of the country, and indulging in a laugh at a wake—and such a wake ! Will the two Roman Catholic members lie in the same coffin ? The wailing we consign to our contemporary, who will wail with " true tears." We again tell our friends that this is anything but a joke to any electirs,4 it is, by its own confession, a dismal joke with the Reporter.—Cork Constitution. OH, WHAT IS MAN! Oh, what is man ! creation's wonder, An angel half, and half a brute; A frown can tear his heart asunder, A tear can make his passion mute. From him blooms pleasure's every flower— But ab, too soon their beauty flies, A thousand cares and pains o'erpuwer And then he ripens, droops, and dies. Vice! virtue! both win his devotion, Now bound in chain, now thron'd in power, The king of earth! the king of ocean! Yet rul'd by passion every hour. To-day his fancy's thbughts discover Worlds mortal eyes had ne'er suryey'd ; To-morrow earth duth wrap him over, And he is dust—whom dust had made. THE CARLOW AFFAIR.—Mr. Walker, the member for Berkshire, has been entrusted with a petition from the county of Carlow, calling for inquiry into the Raphael and O'Connell job, signed by 41 body of electors comprising an immense pro portion of the wealth and respectability of the county.—Old England. One of the new corporation justices having desired a book seller to procure him "the last edition of Burn's,!' the bibliopo list, as might have been expected, instead of five or six volumes of dry law, procured him the latest edition of Scotland's im mortal poet. lelSll CONSERVATIVES.—An aggregate meeting of the con servatives of Ireland is to be held on the 10th of February, either in the Itotulida or the King's Room at the rear of the Mansion-house, to adopt measures for effecting a complete registry of conservative electors in the various Irish counties, cities, and boroughs. THE IRISH CLEIWY.—We have great pleasure in stati ng , that at a l a t e meet i ng i n L e i cester, in aid of the Irish clergy, the sum of upwards of £9OO was actually collected in the room, to which there is no doubt that a considerable addition will be made. The Duke of Rutland made an excellent speech on the occasion; Earl Howe also was present, Lord Charles Man ners, Sir George Beaumont, Mr. Butler Danvers, Mr. C. Peake, and many others of rank and distinction in the county. CAMBRIDGE.—The public oratorship has become vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Ralph Tatham. The candidates at Present in the field are the Rev. John Frederick Isaacson, of 3t John's, the Rev. Christopher Wordsworth, of Trinity, and he Rev. Horatio Hildyard, , of St. Peter's College. The two former gentlemen' are tutors of their respective colleg es , an d- Mr. Hildyard'i s one of the examiners - ofor the classical tripos of the present year. Lord Langdale, the Master of the Rolls, was the medical at tendant on the celebrated Countess of Oxford and Mortimer, when her ladyship and family travelled on the Continent. On his r eturn to London he b ecame a pupil t o M r. B ell, of the Chancery bar. By perseverance, talent, and ind ustry, h e justly attained the high station he now fills. It must be grati fying to Mr. Bell to Five to see his pupil fill so high an office. A few years ago he married Lady Jane Harley, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Oxford. Lady Oxford departed this life a few years ago at Rome. Her ladyship's eldest son was drowned in the bay of Naples. Both bodies were brought over, arid buried in Brampton Bryon Church, Herefordshire. The present Lord Harley is married to the Marquis of Westmeath's eldest daughter.—Her ford Paper. BIBLE -BURNING IN GLASGOW.—We have just heard a horri ble story of Bible-burning in Glasgow, which rivals in atrocity an account of fiendish intolerance in Ireland. A protestant woman had married a papist on this, as one of the conditions, that she should be at liberty to follow her own religion. They had not been many months married, when the husband inter fered, would not permit the Bible to be read by his wife, and being aided by another papist, in whose house he lodged, and who said he would not allow hell to be in his house, seized the Bible on one occa s i on and threw it into the 'fire. The poor woman endeavoured to save her Bible, but before sh e could do so it was destroyed. Af terwards, in le true spirit ofa disciple of Dens, the husband threatened to murder the heretic —the wife of his bosom. She has rescued herself by flight from the deadly fangs of popery, which perverts the very social affec tions for the accomplishment of its diabolical d e signs. This story has been furnished to us on authority on which we can re ly, and it is a striking warning held out against the union by marriage, now becoming frequent, of papists and protestants. The influence of the priesthood is clearly discernible in the whole. It was but the other week we were told, at One of the protestant lectures, of a popish miracle in Glasgow—the priest having proposed to cure a protestant girl of the falling sickness. by the charm of her wearing a certain portion of the gospel of St. John enclosed in a black riband round her neck. Here is another specimen in the heart of a family—in the midst of a protestant city--which illustrates the worst doctrines of Dens. Popery, whatever mask it may suit its purposes to wear, is, at all times and in all places, Tuesday. the sari:ie.—Scottish Guardi an of ..♦ ..~~.t ..!,.r. LAM B ETEi CONSERVATIVE'DINER. • • Laanbeth, one of the metropolitan boroughs, has, it appears, a strong body of conservatives within its boundaries and in its vicinity. On Thursday upwards of four hundred gentlemen, among whom were several members of parliament and a great number of magistrates fur the county of Surrey, dined together at The Horns, Kensington. The lion. R. C. Scarlett, in the chair. Among the guests was Sir Edward Sugden, the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland. - On his health being drank, Sir Edward spoke at some length. We take the following passages from the speech :—Now he was on his legs, he would say a few words as to the principles upon which the late ministers acted: and no set of men had been more cruelly maligned. It had been asserted that the conservatives, too, wished to crush the poor. Vas such the fact ? (Cries of " No.") Mr. 'l. Attwood had recently so re presented the conservative body. Such misrepresentations as these.oug, - ht to be mot by counter declarations—for unless they were contradicted many of the lower classes might conceive them to be worthy of credit. No men, he (Sir E. Sugden) would fearlessly maintain, were so desirous to preserve the liberties of the people : no men so anxious for their true welfare. The conservatives would support them, bit they would also support the throne and the church. (Loud cheering.) They believed in that excellent maxim " Fear God : honour the King." It was with pride that he (Sir E. Sugden) mentioned the people, for he was himself one of them once—(hear, hear)—he had sprung up from the lower orders. (Hear, hear.) It was one of the great advantages in this country that the very highest offices of state might be attained by one of the humblest individuals, having perseverance, industry, and ability. The principles of the conservatives were loyal, but they were not insensible to the wants of an enlightened age. Sir R. Peel had shown to the whole world what was his intention, and what he would have done, had his administrati on gone on . (H ear, h ear.) * • • * Of the principle of the municipal corporation bill he approved; but he objected to the great patronage which it gave the ministers. It would have, he believed, a bad effect on the profession to which he belonged, for many young men would gladly seize hold of the £BOO or £1001) per annum, which was paid on being made commissioners, and then their professions would be disregarded. It was also wrong in principle to make politics a stepping-stone to such preferments. Qualification was what ought to be looked at rather than political opinions. lie could not tell how ministers would be able to explain the hasty law appointments, if it were intended, as was rumoured, that the duties of the Lord High Chancellor were to be divided. If there was such a plan provided, why had the hasty appointments been made ? Why was it that the Master of the Rolls had been created a peer ? (Cheers.) What reason was there fur taking him from his own court, where his duties were so great, into the House of Lords ? (Hear, hear.) Were peerages of so little value ? (Laughter.) A third coronet was placed upon a brow, which, no doubt, became it, but an explanation as requisite. All these matters would be forced upon the administration. With regard to _lreland, too, much investigation was requisite. For his own part, he confessed he could see nothing but one mind directing the affairs of that country—(cheering,) —h e saw but one object, viz., the depression of the protestants—(conti nued cheers.) There were, however, hard stones )o be applied, and these would be applied in due time.' It had been the prac tice in times of difficulty, with these ministers, to throw out a tub to catch a whale, but now there were more whales than tubs. (Laughter.) He believed there was a union with certain parties and ministers, notwithstanding what had been asserted to the contrary; and if their measures assumed that course which he expected, be should have no hesitation in declaring them bound together body and soul. ( Hear, hear.) If - the Irish corporation bill assumed that shape, whirls was rumoured it would, there would not be a single conservative member returned for that country. Ile was clearly of opinion that there must be an early dissolution of parliament. (Hear, hear.) Even the Whigs could not deny that the last whig parliameht had b een l ong d ea d . I call upon you," concluded the right hon. gentleman, " to be up and stirring. (Loud cheers.) No man is worthy of the name of a conservative w h o sp a r es e i t h er t i me or labour. (Hear, hear.) Let every man therefere exert himself as if the cause depended upon himself alone. I call upon you so to ac' and rally round each other." EXTENSIVE FRAUD ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE, (From the Observer.) - The principal portion of the attention of the members of both Stock :Markets throughout the day has been drawn with some anxiety to an extensive fraud which has been committed on some of the members of the market, by which it is apprehended that they will sustaiu losses to the extent of front £12.000 to £14,000. The principal facts connected with this transaction are these :—The delinquent party is a Mr. Lakeinan, who, we understand, has for some time been engaged in transactions in the foreign funds, and was, from the previous promptitude with which he met his engagements, on great credit. Yesterday being the settling day in the Foreign Market, Mr. Lakeman took a considerable amount of Spanish and Colombian Stocks, in all exceeding £20,000, and paid for them by checks crossed in the usual manner for payment through his bankers. As soon as he obtained possession of the bonds, he went to a highly re spectable firm with whom Lakeman had previous dealings, and desired them to sell a portion of the stock for ready money, which was immediately done, and a check given, which Lake man got cashed immediately. It is also understood that he ob tained for some of the notes gold at the Bank of England. These operations were all completed before the usual clearing hour (5 o'clock,) when it was discovered that Lakeman's bankers had not sufficient astets to meet the checks which had been given for the purchase-of the stock. The fact was soon com municated to such of the parties who were still in town, and a considerable degree of sensation was excited in consequence. One individual will sustain losses to the extent of about £6,000; another member of the Stock Market to the amount of nearly £4,000; and others for £l,OOO and under. Immediate steps were taken by the principal sufferers to apprehend Mr. Lake roan. Application was made to Mr. N. M. Rothschild (it being post day, and an express to the Continent being nearly ready to start from his establishment) to forward the particulars of the transaction, the numbers of the notes so far as could be learnt, and other details, to prevent the. negotiation of the Bank notes on the Continent, and to detain, if possible, the individual, should he go abroad. The great Hebr ew capitalist immediately offered to do all in his power to give such information by circu lars to his agents in all the principal cities on the Continent. Measures were also taken to police-officers to the outrerts, and to give such information as might lead to his detection. It was stated during the day that Lakeman has had a steam-boat for two or three days at Woolwich ready to start at a short notice, and that he has proceeded across the channel in her. As he was connected with the fishing boats, it is not improk>able that he would'Proceed to sea in one of them, and take the chance of getting on bOard an outward-bound ship. There have been also assertions made,that he has carried off a considerable amount of bonds belonging to other parties. It is more than probable that he has with him considerably above £15,009. Such active and extensive measures having been taken to apprehend Mr. Lakeman, it is considered almost certain, unless he•secrete himself in London for some time, that he will soon be appre hended. To-day a meeting of the members of the Stock Exchange who have been affected by the transaction wi4 held, and the result has been, that one of the members of the house has been compelled to submit to his being declared unable to meet the engagements upon the last account on foreign stock owing to the loss he has incurred by the the conduct of Lakeman. Another question has arisen out of the transaction which is of importance. -We have already said that some of the checks connected with this transaction were paid. It being a rule of the stock market, in cases of payments for differences on time bargains, that one member should not retain any amount he may have received on account of the settlement of transactions which lead to the defalcation of a party, while the claims of others remain unliquidated, an attempt has ben made to apply that rule to th e pr ese nt operations connected with the Stock in question. Upon this point, which recollecting the immense transactions carried on by means of checks, is one of great impor tance, much difference exists. The cummi'tee of' the Stock Ex change met this afternoon, and continued in deliberation for a considerable time, discussing the point, but without coining to any decision, the question having been adjourned until Monday next. It is contended by many, that as the sale of the bonds was a bonajide transaction, those who have been fortunate to get their money have uo right to refund it for the benefit of those who were less lucky. It was reported late in the evening that Mr. Lakeman is insane. It was also stated that he had been taken into custody, but we could not leant that there was any authority for the rumour. A circumstance very similar to the above transaction took place about the year 1806, when a party absconded with a con siderable sum obtained in the same way. He was traced to the Isle of Man, apprehended there, and brought to London, when it was decided, after several examinations at the Mansion House, that be could not be detained, as he had given checks for the stock, which reduced the claim into a simple contract debt. Amongst the money given for the bonds to Lakeman, were four Bank of England notes, value £lOOO each, which notes he afterwards changed at the Bank of England for eight bank notes for £5OO each. He also received a bank note for £3OO a note for £lO and a bank note for £5 all the numbers of which notes were known. The £5OO notes were numbered from 5679 to 5686, 19th January, 1836, inclusive; the £3OO note was num bered 7670, 6th Januar., 1836; the £lO 19,115, 14th December, 1835; the £5 24,461, 13th December, 1835. Lakeman, it is said, obtained on the same day, by fraudulent means, stock from one party f0r.£6200, f rom ano th er f or £595 0 and from a third for £2OOO all of which he sold. It is rather curious that this is the person who induced Lord Bexley, the Earl of Devon, and the other proprietors of the Hungerford Market to make a wholesale fish-market of that large concern, and to go to such ruinous expense in endeavour ing, by hiring all the fishing-boats to ply to Hungerford Mar ket, to destroy Billingsgate Market. The steam-vessel, too, of which Lakeman is said to he the sole proprietor, happens to be the very vessel which he prevailed upon the company to pur chase to convey salmon from Ireland, the first batch of which was condemned astitinking fish by Mr.-Guldiaminrilre- eferk of" Billingsgate. CHICORY AND COFFEE. --- By a letter from the Board of Trade, dated the 7th January, 1836, the Board of Customs are informed that when the duty of 6d. per lb. was imposed on chicory, it was not the intention of the Board of Trade to tax that article, but merely to prevent the fraudulent introduction of Coffee and Chicory, and that, therefore, roasted and ground would have been the proper word ing. But it is proposed in the next Customs' Bill that may be brought before parliament, to remedy this, and at the same time to get rid of the inconvenience of its entry, as an unenu merated article, and for that purpose the Lords of the Commit tee of the Privy Council for 'I rade will submit that a rated duty of a low amount should be inmposeJ on Chicory whets roasted, leaving the duty of 6d the pound upon it when ground. Note.—The complaint, as we understand it is, that Chicory Root, before it is either ground or roasted, is imported at so trifling an advalorern duty as to injure the trade in Coffee, and therefore the above proposed ropilation would not meet :the case, as Chicory Root would still be importable as an num merated article. COFFEE FROM SIERRA LEONE.—Extract of a letter from the Board of Trade, dated 15th January. 1833, respecting the pro duction of Certificates of origin for Coffee, the produce of Sierra Leone, on a memorial for the admission of Coffee from the Coast of Africa at the duty of 6d. per pound. The act 5 and 6W. 4, cap. 66, does not require that Certifi cates of origin should be produced for Coffee, the produce 'of Sierra Leone and therefore the necessity for such Certificates falls back upon the general law and practice of the Customs. The act further applies the duty of Gd. per lb. to coffee the produce of and imported from Sierra Leone. If, therefore, as the Lords of Committee of Pri v y C ounc il for Trade conceive Cape Coast Castle is to be considered as a dependency of Sierra Leone, they are of opinion that the principle laid down by them respecting rice is equally applicable to coffee, and that, if satis factory proof be given to the customs that the parcel in question is the produce of the neighbourhood of that settlement, although not actually within its limits, and cannot be other foreign cof fee, which the certificates accompanying the report seem to determi ne , they are disposed to recommend th a t th e player of the memorialist should be complied with, and the parcel of coffee be admitted at the duty of 6d. per lb. PUBLIC DINNER TO TUE LATE COLWORAT[ON OF DEVIZES. The Devise, and IVittshire Gazette, of Thursday last, contains an elaborate account of a public dinner given on the previous Tuesday to the members of the defunct corporation of Devizes, at which all the principal gentlemen and tradesmen of the town and the gentry of the neighbourhood were present. This mark of respect and kindness appears to indicate that all sense of gratitude for past services is not absolutely extinguished in borough towns, and also, notwithstanding the pains taken to persude them to the contrary, that there are souse places where the people do not entertain the opinion, that the gentlemen who held offices in civic bodies-corporate were necessarily "tyrants" or "usurpers," or that the words "corporation" and corruption" were synonimous terms. But we forget—Devizes is not an overgrown commercial town, it is only the great mar ket town of a large agricultural district, and its inhabitants, unenlightened by the pompous nothings, and Penny Meg. trash, of an Albion; by the small philippics of a Chronicle; by the milk and water lucubrations of a Journal; or by the profound Botisms of a Mercury, live in a most delightful state of ignorance which —having but one newspaper—they have the extreme folly to imagine perfect bliss. The healths of "the bishop and clergy of the diocese" having been drank, The Rev. Canon Fisher observed, in the course of his speech, that it was highly satisfactory to the clergy to receive so many and decisive marks of approbation and encouragement with which they have been cheered during the two last eventful years. Supported by such friends, the church had little to fear. But he had a stronger ground of confidence than this. The church had nothing to fear, because she dreaded no in quiry. The guilty only trembled and deprecated the rendering au account. Like the members of the late corporation of Devizes, the church had no corruption to be brought to light, no mal-practises to account for, and therefore she sought and courted inquiry. She had ev eryt hi ng to ga i n, an d not hi ng to lose by it. Defects indeed there might be about her, as about any human institution; hut he assured them that there was no body of men in the united kingdom more anxious that such de fects should be removed; than were the clergy themselves. They were anxious for their removal, that the church might proceed onward in her career of usefulness, encumbered by no abuses, and, if it pleased God, defaced by no blemishes. All they deprecated was her being handed over to the tender mer cies of the reckless, to those who had no religious opinions; who, rejectin g h er discipline, and having separated themselves from her communion, could scarcely be supposed to have her real welfare at heart. He felt persuaded, however, that the people of England would never permit this. He had that con fidence in the good sense, the religious feeling, the patriotism of the people of this country, as to feel convinced that they never would allow either the ceremonies of our church to be mutilated, or her revenues carved out to gratify the appetite of the demagogue; but that they would determine to support her in her state of dignity and usefulness. (Loud and reiterated cheers.) The health of Mr. Clark, the late mayor, was drank with nine times nine and one cheer more. After this gentleman had re turned thanks, the call for Mr. Salmon, the oldest resident member of the late corporation, was loud and general. Mr. Salmon addressed the meeting at considerable length in a speech of great force. We regret that we can only afford space for the subjoined extracts:—ln my younger days, I re member very little public mention of corporations, except in tomition place jests, about mayors and aldermen, (alluding to the borough of Devizes,) and their gowns and maces. Instead of being Considered as formidable political bodies, they were rather the butts at which the writings of those days might with impunity aim their petty shafts. But lately, notwithstanding their only really obnoxious power, that of exclusively electing members to parliament, had been taken away—instead of fur nishing incidents for a farce, or the point to a dull epigram, they have been represented as something monstrous and mis chievous (cheers); their officers, formerly likened to the Dog berries of Shakspeare, decked with a little brief authority, as now capab!e of exercising powerful influence on public events, (cheers,) their town-clerks in particular, as potent magicians, ruling all things by their wands, (cheers,) as demons who ride the whirlwind and direct the storm—and instead of being laughed at as insignificant insubstantial pageants, these bodies have been represented as exercing a power fill influence on the destinies of the country, the salvation of which has been apparently made to depend on substituting one list of nanses for another. (Loud and reiterated cheering.) With au inconsistency peculiar to the present time, after we had been told, from authority, that the old bodies ought to be annihilated, because they were com posed of party men, no sooner does the time of elections of the new bodies arrive, than a cry is ra i se d f rom one en d o f the kingdom to the other, and almost everywhere acted upon, not to choose men merely fig their fitness for the office, but to select, or exclude them, according as they were supposed to lean to this or that political party; thus voluntarily choosing to perpetuate that very system before so loudly censured. (Con tinued cheering.) - I cannot but consider all these views to have been erroneous. Men did their duty honestly, when formerly lampooned and laughed at, and were often far more useful members of society than those who scoffed at them; and in the present day, politics having really no connexion with municipal government, there was more danger of corporations falling into indolence and inactivity,..than of their becoming political en gines. * * * * In making some remarks on the report of the commissioners for inquiring into municipal corporation abuses, he said—speaking of Devizes—"They (the commis sioners) go 'on to say that there exists also a discontent under the burdens of local taxation, while resources that ought to be applied for the public advantage are diverted from their legiti mate use, and sometimes wastefully bestowed for the benefit of individuals, sometimes squatt4.ered fur purposes injurious to the character and morals of the people. Here I must remark that no power of taxation was vested in us; and as to the tnisappli cation of funds, they certainly never were misapplied for indi vidual benefit. The members of the corporation were subjected to expense, without the opportunity of a farthing profit. But whilst I claim the merit for myself and my late colleagues of honest intentions and uprOtt actions, let it not be supposed that any of us would insinultiOhat the n ew b o d y , though com pleted perhaps on a system OT exclusiveness, will not be ,go yarned by similar intentions. Let it be remembered, however, that they enter into office with more extensive and better de fined powers than we had. They have the express directions of an act of parliament, which, if like most new laws, it be at present somewhat confused, will doubtless be expounded or amended so as to become an intelligible guide. We were obliged to resort to charters, often of doubtful construction, and veiled .in the obscurity of law Latin, and to bye laws and usages often incongruous and contradictory. They have far more extensive powers for regulating the police; and,. above raising inhabitants. If then, with th ese a id s , th e y , in case other funds fail, of e w'or'k any mi rac l es o f goo d , l et them have should hlolo,nuteihydebyay/pi taringt e ot v oi their just weed of praise, but let it not be forgotten that we had not the opportunity of trying the same rneaus. SINGULAR DISCOVERY •OF HIDDEN TREASURE. has, withi n t h e l ast .ew The village aaya, of S been a scene tan of conse quence of a singular di s covery of a very large sum* foreign gold coign, co m p u t e d by some at not less than )(x), ;„ a f o e rc x , t r Middlesex, aardina r yexcitement., in ditch, upon the glebe lands of the Rev. Arthur Chauvel. It appears that, on Saturday , evening week, the coachman and gardener of the reverend gentleman were engaged in clearing out a ditch, in 'a field not far distant from the church, and i n the course of their operations observed some pieces of metal among the dirt. These they examined and found them to be gold, and they subsequently turned out to be " louis d'ors," iind Portuguese coins, called " ports," or Johannes," of the value of about 36 5 . each. As it came on to be dark, the men did not pursue their search the same night, but resolved on the following morning to make a more minute examination of their golden mine. Instead, however, of keeping their own counsel, they let out the secret at a public house the same night, and on reaching the field the next morning, were not a little mortified to find a crowd of men, women, and children, assembled on the spot before them, many of whom had been equally successful in their discoveries, and showed several of the large and small pieces which they had collected. The coachman and gardener then commencer) digging about the spot on which they had been at first engaged, when suddenly a shower of gold fell into the ditch frame, the bank, which came from a tin box they had forced open. A simultaneous rush was immediately made to the spot, and the crowd jumping into the ditch, a scene of confu sion beggaring description ensued. The men above kept those that were below down, till they were in danger of suffocation " More sacks in the mill" was the cry, and it was nut till a so lemn promise was made to make an .equal division of the spoil, that the discoverers of the treasure were allowed to rise. A col lection was then made, and all standing in a ring —men, wo men, and boys—the pieces were handed round, one at. a time, to each, the gardener and coach Man,. however, taking care to reserve the better share for tliOnselves, and especially to keep the larger pi eces . New arrivals led to a fresh search, when two more boxes were found equally well stored. With one of these a farmer's man made off:Vut the bottom coming cut, another scramble followed, and another division took place— some getting from twenty to' thirty pieces each and others more ; one or two to the extent of, two hundred each, and the coachman and gardener receiving about three hundred and twenty each. '1 he news soon obtained more extended circula tion throughout the town, and the whole parish flocked to the spot, the church being thereby stripped of nearly the w h o l e o f the humbler classes of its congregation, to the no small aston ishment of the parson. The cause of this defection was as certained by the Reverend Mr. Chauvel, after the service, who sent for his gardener, and'obtained from him the cir cumstances of the case. He immediately declared the whole of the property to be his, having been found in his glebe . ..laa-Atud demanded from the gardener the amount of lire priie. The gardener was not disposed so quietly to relinquish his un expected gains, and, on consulting with the coachman, they re solved to put both their sums together, and consult a lawyer as to what was proper to be done. The money was accordingly left in charge of the coachman's wife; but no sooner was she alone than Mrs. Chauvel, having discovered the fact, went to her, and, working- on her fears, forced her to deliver up the whole of her vmthsable charge, to the deep mortification of her husband and co-partner. The money was then conveyed to the Rev. Mr. Chauvel, by whom it was taken to a inaeistrate in the neighbourhood, in whose charge it now is. In the mean time the other "lucky ones" were displaying their boasted gains in hands full, and a brewer in the neighbourhood bought several of the pieces. at the rate of twelve shillings each; he soon found a Competitor at thirteen shillings each; and by the next morning a foreign servant, who lived with a gentleman in the village, stated the real value, so that no bargains could again be had on such advantageous terms. Several hearing of the claims of the Parson, kept their own counsel; others came up to town on Monday and sold the coin at its fair value to the bulli on dealers—while one or two altogether retired from the chance of immediate inquiry. Under these circumstances, it is impossible to collect the precise amount found, but from what we hear it cannot fall much short of the sum we have stated. The Parson still asserts that the whole belongs to him; but there can be no doubt he has no legal claim to any part of it, as, if an owner cannot be found, it properly belongs to the crown. It is not likely, however, with the exception of the sum taken from the coachman's wife, that much of it will be forthcoming for any legitimate purpose hereafter. Mr. Chauvel, however, we bear, intends to try the question how far his claim is tenable —a point which his servants are determined to contest. We have seen some of the coins, which are perfectly fresh, and in good condition, and are supposed to have been buried by an eccentric foreigner, who lived some years since near Stanmore, was known be wealthy, has gone abroad, and has not since been beard of. A few years back a foreigner arrived at Stan more, and was engaged with four men for nearly a fortnight in searching for treasure in the same field • but without success. It is supposed th e or i g i na l d e p os it or h a d" described the place, but not with sufficient accuracy to guide his agent, who went away much depressed, intimating his suspicion that the farmer who rented the field had forestalled him. The Mayor of Worcester was invited to the O'Connell dinner at. Birmingham: His worship took the sense of ,the , council whether he should - accept the.invitation, and the council de. cided by 9.t0 that"the invitation should be declined.--7'inses.

The splendid suits of real Armour and other Dresses, amounting to nearly two hundred, are of the most costly and classic descrip tion, and. it is trusted, that on the first night of the representa tion of this drama, at the Liver Theatre, it will be pronounced, as a whole, superior to anything of the kind ever witnessed in Liverpool. —Due notice will be given of its first representation. TO CORRESPONDENTS Vic Eibrypoot ef:tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNI.ArG, FEBRUARY 2, 1836, By the Cornelia, Captain EATON, we have Charleston papers to the 9th January. The most prominent subject we find in them is the irruption of the Seminole Inlians into the territory of East Florida, where they are de scribed as having burnt and destroyed every thing that came in their way. Volunteers were raising at Charles_ ton to assist in the expulsion of the invaders. We take the following extract from the Charleston Courier of January 6th : " The New Orleans Courier of the 24th tilt. contains an account of the butchery, in the most barbarous manner, at Tampion, of twenty-eight men, part of an expedition which had gone from New Orleans, to aid the Texians. Of those persons who suf fered, twenty-three were Americans, three Frenchmen, and two Germans. The Mexicans, it is stated, fired their guns first at the least vital part of the persons of their victims, thus rendering a number of shots necessary to cause death, their object appear ing to be to make them suffer as much as possible. After they were all dead, a pit was dug and the bodies thrown in promis cuously. In a subsequent paragraph, however, the editor says: " We have conversed with several respectable merchants, who have receive.; letters from Tampico, who represent the circumstances of the death of the twenty-eight men who were shot, as entirely different from what we have stated, and that the barbarity which our informant alleges against the Mexi cans in this case, is quite unfounded.' , " A letter from an American gentleman at Tampico, dated 14th December, which follows the above, makes great complaints of the course pursued by Americans in attacking that place, and expresses surprise that the American government does not in terfere, and prevent the fitting out of vessels and troops. The letter closes by saying, All sensible merchants in Mexico wish for peace, under whatever form of government the nation may think fit to adopt; and it is really vexing to think that our se curity, and that of our property, should be compromised at home.' "The New Orleans Bee corntains a despatch from the Mexican minister to the government of the United States, deprecating the fitting out of expeditions from this country against the Mexican government, as an infringement of the relations of amity which subsist between the two countries. The minister also protests against the capture of the Mexican vessel of war, Correo, Captain Thompson, lately carried into New Orleans, and requires her restoration, and the li!)eration from confine ment of her officers and crew . "The New Orleans Bee, of the 25th ult., says, Texas is now the determined goal of an army of nearly 10,000 men, under Santa Anna, who has been furnished with arms and provisions of all kinds; and with funds, by collections from merchants and others, as well as donations from those interested in establishing a central form of government in Mexico—to the amount of two or three millions of dollars. We much mistake if the career of the foul-mouthed and mendacious beggar, who visited Liverpool on Wed nesday last, be not near its close. This wretched old man must ere now be conscious of the slender hold he has on public opinion, and of the certainty that be will shortly be hurried by disappointment to an infamous grave. The Irish bravo quailed and trembled under the hootings and execrations with which he was greeted in our Exchange Rooms. He grew pale, stuttered, and looked faint in the presence of honourable men. H e walked in sallow sickness and in helpless trepidation, like a convicted felon leaning on the arm of hit. gaoler, once his friend and companion, to the gallows; while on all sides were heard the hisses of scorn, the shout of de rision, the yell of hatred, the groan of disgust, and the triumph of justice over detected guilt. . Never was a more humiliating spectacle witnessed in a public assem bly. He came reeking from the embraces of an Irish rabble, like a culprit from a den of thieves, into the pre sence of men who thoroughly despised and loathed, be cause they perfectly understood, his real character. In their presence he looked the very picture of misery. It was an atmosphet'a uncongenial to his nature and habits. He was dragged before the merchants of Liverpool, who have an unconquerable horror of any thing in the form of a cheat or a swindler, and who equally detest a liar; and he was dragged thither by a kind friend in kind simpli city of heart, who, perhaps imagined that hospitality would overlook fraud, and that vulgar impudence, though . it might not attract respect, would iit'lea . ;t . command silence. Never was the moist quaker or the characterless papist more disagreeably undeceived. DANIEL never experi enced such a reception in the whole course of his. life. He was literally, as we said on Friday, jostled and hooted out of the room—not a voice to cheer him, not a hand to defend him, not a gentleman to take his part, not a single being in decent attire to escort him—the joints of his tail on this occasion being a few unwashed and filthy Irish paupers ordered out for the purpose by the priests ! Need we wonder then that the mendicant arrived sick, chopfallen, disconcerted, and " too late for dinner" on the following day at Birmingham ? The coarse lumps of beef and pork were devoured, the cheese was down, and the guzzlers nearly all drunk, before DANIEL, their invited guest, could make it convenient to present him self before them ! What befel him on the road, which detained him three hours beyond his appointed time, has never been explained. Whether he had dined early, and had forgotten himself afterwards, we cannot tell; but we strongly suspect that the treatment which he had met n Liverpool had produced a serious effect upon his nerves and his physical powers. How the nailers and bellows-blowers of the environs of Birmingham must have stared when, having paid their money to see an Irish wolf feed, the wolf did not come until they were not in a condition to see, and who, when he did come, did not condescend to feed with them ! Mr. THOMAS ATTwooD, before eigh(u'elock came, must have wished himself at the bottom of a coal mine, and MuNTz, the chairman, somewhat deeper ! But • what, more than these failures and disappoint ments, indicate the speedy termination of the popieh re- The subject alluded to by a "Sandonite" would much better remain unnoticed for the present. fVe are prepared! If " Fair Ply" will send us his name, and the testimonials of the clerg,yman alluded to, we will serve him as far as we can. The 'subject broached by B is noticed elsewhere. The letter to " Win. liathbone" shall appear, if possible, in our next. We regret that we are unable to find room for any portion of the splendid and unrivalled speech of the Rev. Mr. M`Gbee, at Glasgow. It contains some new and important disclosures relative to Irish popery and Dr. Murray, which we shall take care to notice on Friday. Finn URA V 2. 18-.6. But what is the beggar's cry now ? Four months have not yet elapsed—he has returned to England—lre has been invited by the same rabble to exhibit himself before the m — Justice•of.the-Peace RATHBONE danced the bear before the mob of Liverpool-L-MuNTz danced the bear before the blackguards of Birmingham—but, by all that is ludicrous! the bear now dances to a different tune ! It would appear from his docility, and his pliabi lity to times and circumstances, either that DANIEL has been steeped into somnolency by a surfeit of dog's-meat; or that some knife-grinder of the cabinet has been en abled to file his tusks. Now we hear nothing against: , the House of Lords! The horsepond has gone io De- NIEL, or DANIEL to the horsepond. There is here most, unquestionably a screw loose In the ialloWs. Lc;'4d JOHN RUSSELL has either tied up the agitator, or DANIEL:: has sold, for so ihuch coin, the threats, or, if yoti wilt,' the principles of Autumn last. In his speeches at' Li verpool and Birmingham O'CONNELL hardly makes an allusion to the House of Lords. That very poor crea ture Mr. WILLIAM EWART did venture, but most rashly,. and with his characteristic foolishness, to hint at a reform of the lords; but O'CONNELL was silent. There was no r response from the Abbey of Derrvnane. DANIEL made' no sign; and it is said that he looked most contemptu ously upon the silly personage who had the indiscretion to place him in so marked a position. How is this?- It was said that the ministry had sold themselves to O'CONNELL. The simple fact we have stated makes it appear more probable that O'CONNELL has sold himself to the ministry —on what terms remains to be seen.- He told the mob of Manchester, Edinburgh, and Glasgow that he would never rest contented until the whole system of 'hereditary legislation was entirely eradicated from the institutions of this country, and he asserted the perfectibility of the policy which recognised no councillors of state who were not chosen by the people. Does O'CONNELL adhere to these principles now ? If so, where are the pools ? On the contrary he skulks from any allusion to them in the most cautious, and to him naturally the most cowardly manner. He has no recollections which do not suit his convenience. He acknowledges no pledges which it would be unprofitable to redeem. The oath of yesterday is forgotten to-day, and what was a solemn promise in the morning is swamped by. the bold but convenient lie of the same evening. This is popery where its agents can command its potency in the absolution of crimes—of crimes which christianity, in other states governed by the principles of law and truth, deems to be the worst and the most un pardonable class of offences against GOD and man. But why should we expect truth or candour from him who has been a liar from the beginning? His whole life has been a living lie. Whatever money this beg gar—this robber of beggars-Lhas acquired—has been gained in the base trade of torturing truth into the form of falsehood—by dressing falsehood in the garb of truth=7-- by selling pettifogging- oratory to a misguided peasantry —by writing legal charms at the foot of the gallows—by. screwing money • frPrii the pockets of.the relations of those whom no legal quirk could save from dying the death of a murderer—a beggar, in fact, so, ignorant of all law that he has seldom held a brief except in defence of the guilty. But this fellow, presuming upon the weakness of the government he supports, and flattering the ambitious but fatal views of the popish faction to which he belongs, who, though steeped in ignorance. imagine they are to obtainikpreme power in England— goes farther, and claims the right to dictate to the people of England-Ist, by prescribing their duties and com manding the performance of them; 2dly, by claiming the right to violate his own injunctions; and, 3dly, the peculiar privilege of laughing in his sleeve at the silly ness of his victims, of disgorging his own propositions at his sovereign will and pleasure, and changing whatever opinions he may inculcate to the most antipOdean stretch just as the wind may happen to blow or the balance in favour of profit or rent be on the opposite side. Reader ! this is the puff-blown priest•fed Irish beggar . who dared to insult, with Mr. Justice RATIIBONE as his guide, the respectable merchants and other inhabitants of Liverpool on Wednesday last. Thousands and tens of thousands of our protestant brethren in this palati nate have read his speeches delivered in the streets, and in the close and fcetid arena of the Corn Exchange. Most of them also, we presume, have read his after dinner speech to the black-faced radicals of Birmingham —a set of chimney sweeps whom even O'CONNELL heated more distantly and less ceremoniously than he would have dared to treat the pigs of any priest in Kerry. He refused to dine with them. He had been travelling in the fresh and open air, and we can there fore easily account (if no other reasons are given) for his abstinance from perspiration, stewed beef, grease and greens, onions and dirty fingers. But forgetting all this in reference to his speeches, (if ribald trash ought to be so designated,) we appeal to every reader whether he ever read any thing so disgustingso monstrously foul = and false—in the whole course of his life? Let every man think well before he answers. Here is a man who in the scale of morality and statemanship is the most worthless that has appeared on the political stage since the days of the dishonest and execrable WILES, and yet we find him in the possession of more power than any other man, or any other five men of the highest station iu England. He is here as our scourge. 'When . the Aliniglity punishes. a people he generally employs, as the law does, the worst instrument in society—the abhorred of the community— the expelled of social life—the lowest of the vile or the unfortunate—the conzrnon hangman. DANIEL O'CON NELL is our national common hangman ; and if you doubt his fitness for the office, pray read his vulgar speeches at Liverpool and Birmingham. What do they contain ? The staple is lying. He is so coerced by the tyrant demon who employs him, that he swaggers, swears, and dips deeply into falsehood without there being the slightest necessity or excuse fur it. The lit does not even serve his purpose. He might be more formidable by adhering to truth ; but such is the fatality which oppresses him that he is doomed, in working out his duty as a wretched old sinner who pollutes the earth, to lie on, and swear on, and perjure on, in order that he may be the unconscious instrument of bringing odium and ruin upon the cause, upon the popery, upon the principles. and upOn the reforms of which he is the hired advocate. To select any portion of his speeches for particular animadversion, would be an endless and useless task. They have been repeated as often as a devout nun kneels to the VIRGIN MARY in the most serious six months of her life. And vet they possess this most re markable peculiarity. The lords, by compact—by some RUSSELL compact, we presume —are forgotten. There is no brutal invective against the peers. de JocxElt Of Norfolk" is not assailed. The rookery of Shrewsbury.is : unmolested. The protestant nobles are permitted escape under the frank or passport of some good Lord • • Roman Catholic. But what, in the mum! of is the .substituted demand ? AN EL delOapds-7 . wha il t tie .. is p r omised—Jun . lcl , , 170 . R R NiY. Prtinre,ri tiy `bel's career, are the different circumstances under which he has commenced the present course of agitatiOn cOm , pared with those which marked his progress in the north • of England and in Scotland last autumn. Then he preached treason'to his confraternity of blackguards, and . , a 4 openly den ounce d t h e H ouse of Lords. His northerti * tour . Was a continuous lie of libel and sedition. The peers of England were held up to ignominy in full gaze of the Irish rabble he addressed in the manufacturing towns. The beggar then writhed under all the pain of disappointed hopes. His favourite measures had been rejected by the lords. All his deep-laid schemes of plun der had been defeated. His very approbation of any measure relative to Ireland was deemed a sufficient ground for objecting to its policy and questioning the motives and the honesty of its authors. O'CONNELL'S name on a bill, no matter how many good names pre ceded and followed it, was considered taint enough to damn the credit of the whole instrument; so that, like a swindler's letter, it injured the reputation of the intro: cent and retarded the fair -flow of benevolence which would otherwise have gone on uninterrupted. In short, the cry of DANIEL then was—Down with the Lords ! and the mob of Manchester and Glasgow shouted amen ! ail, jus ---1 or IT for t ing is et One calui the acts givi t of al tnisd certa first I ) ---firs lia Ca ges se this 1 taliat, Ho allud e an i n tempi "le %tide and d i and a _ buyi n _ I But WILLI °../ t/te featur t of You Your ri give u b e i ng vvrap p , cillo r vulg ar . tbirubli You a r , is a 44 D AN RAT HB fo r of 1 and all RATR E credibli LIA,m !
