P l iociples, for ready money, would reduce most - of them to the rank of whigs. They have - no attachments which bind tilealte.the church, .the corporations, or the crown. The : P i nning jenny gives a twist to their creed. The shuttle 'rusts itself into meshes which meet in • a convenient mediu m by reciprocal elevation and depression.

Wretched, indeed, mast that government be which relies upon the . support of such a man—whose existence d epends upon his stniles—and whose needy adherents lo ok tip to him for their bread !- But wretched is not the o nly term applicable here.

They fiercely hate the hypocritical Pretender, and they, above all things, abhor honied 7"c'rcls coming from the lips of a jesOit—from a rank )1 /-pot swinger of an idolatrous church, who lives upon the pretended wrongs of his countrymen. The people of Englind see in O'CONNELL- " The master FIEND that - Milton drew" —one who, in every step towards reform, has malignantly; trampled upon the rights and Franchises of the working, classes, professing to be their friend, but openly opposing every measure of a benevole9 nature calculated to pro vide a legal maintenance for the pauper population of Ireland, which tie and the priests rob. _ _ What claims has OCYCONNELT, on any portion of the people of England and Scotland? He is of a creed which brings to recollection the darkest and foulest periods. in our history, and his real object is to regain for popery that ascendancy in these islands which our fathers were, obliged to crush in defence of their lives and liberties. He professes to plead the cause of Ireland, and he is paid for so disguising the plundering schemes of his employ ers; but the only cause he pleads in reality is that of the priests, who tremble at the present changes in public opinion, and who are alarmed lest they should be de prived of the power of extorting money from the poor, of the rich income arising from masses for the dead — from absolution—from stations, and all the mummeries and impositions of a debasing creed. It is to keep " ould popery" upon its legs that the mendicant pleads the cause of Ireland. But even if Ireland had anything to expect from an appeal to the people of Engtand and Scotland,,is O'CoN ivELL exactly' qualified to promote such an object? He can talk in tlie'vulgar tongue for any length of time ; he can abuse the noble and great in terms as filthy as the pig-stye in which he was born; lie can indulge in gloWing and heart-rending descriptions of the misery Which be and his crew have produced, without having the honesty to confess it; but with all this show of talent he must Pail is creating any effect, simply because no man can believe a single-word O'CONNEL' I) utters. The man has lied through steh a series - t)f years.--he has been so re peatedly convicted of falsehood—that it is impossible to place any safe.reliance on his word, even though fettered by the most sacred obligations. Is this a missionary then to send to the moral and re ligious people of the North ? Even in his public letters his dishonesty and his hedge-attorneyship are glaring. He denies in his letter to the Duke of WELLINaroN that he ever was convicted of a misdemeanour. The dexterity of the lawyer is here mixed with the cunning of the thief. I was not found guilty of larceny, argues the beggar, I only committed an assault—with intent ! I did not rob a hen-roost iu. England,. it was in Berwick upon-Tweed !

But every true Englishman, grateful though he be, must still lament to see such empty fustian thrust into the King's mouth by his Whig ministers—and called a speech from the throne.

The country is next complimented upon its "flourishing credit," inasmuch as ministers have been enabled to ob tain a loan of fifteen millions, which, though contracted for, is not paid, and perhaps never will.

Heyworthrtnd Co., of Liverpool, with the following particulars of a murder cOtnruitted onboard one of their ships while pur suing her voyage off the coast of Java :-- MESSRS. HEY WORTH AND CO., LIVERPOOL, PER DORTENAAR. Batavia, 18th April, 1835. Dear Sirs,—We beg to confirm our respects of 11th instant, and we have now the painful task to inform you of a murderous attack made upon the crew of your good ship Rossendale, by which two men lost their lives, and one was severely wounded. For particulars we refer you to the enclosed copy of Captain Ware's letter to us, and of the statement of the whole occur rence testified by the ship's company. The causes which may have led to this disaster are enveloped in such mystery that we really cannot account for them, unless we were to attribute them to intoxication by Opium, and that the murderer in this state has, what is called in this part of the world, run a muck. It is no uncommon occurrence on shore that natives, after having indulged in opium to excess, run out in a state of frenzy with a weapon in hand, and kill or wound any living object that comes in their way. Captain Ware apparently has continued bis voyage to China, and, now that the monsoon seems to have fairly changed, we hope soon to hear of his safe arrival. . We have nothing new to report in markets, and we remain, dear sirs, yours faithfully, PITCAIRN, SYME, tz Co. (Copy.) MESSRS. PITCAIRN,. STINE, AND CO., BATAVIA. Barque Rossendale, off North Coast Java, April 9th, 1835. Gentlemen, -As we have fallen in with the Dutch ship Netherlands, King, bound to your port, 1 have to inform you, that on the 4th instant, about eleven o'clock p.m., an Arab ship, which sailed with us from the Straits of Madeira bound to Ba tavia, came so close to us that with some difficulty we cleared, but one of his crew, a Malay, got on board by climbing up the ropes forward. He implored mercy, and begged to be allowed to remain on board, which we could not well avoid, as the ship had separated. On the 6th in the morning, about two o'clock, we were thrown in consternation by hearing the crew running aft, and calling out that "the Malay,was stabbing the crew." One man had re ceived three woonds in the arm, and two boys lying life less, one having his , throat cut in a most dreadtul manner, and the other stabbed ,to the heart. The fellow, finding that the crew were on the alert, threw himself into the sea, but no vessel was near, and the - ship eighty miles from land. We cannot imagine what could induce the murderer to commit such an hor rid deed,.as he , had been treated with the greatest kindness by the whofe 1 ynerely write to you in case any thing should occur in-Bata via respecting that ship. 1. ain.ignorapt of•the name. -She maybe about 450 tons, commanded by an Arab captain, and sailed from Port Banka the Ist 'instant.

(Signed) . JOHN WAR.E. (Copy.) We, the undersigned master, officers, 4ind crew of the barque Rossendale, do declare; that on Monday, April 6th, 1835, at two a.m., we were disturbed from our sleep by our seaman John Luse running aft, and calling out tbat he had been stabbed by. the black Malay who had come on board from the Arab ship on the 4th instant. When we came to him, he was on the poop bleeding profusely from three wounds in his tight shoulder. He said that, while lying asleep on the forecastle, he was awakened by a person stabbing him in the arm, and before he could de fend himself that he hid received two other stabs in the arm; but he no sooner got on Nis feet than he saw the Malay'run from him, and jump overboard from the larboard cathead. We all commenced a strict search, when we discovered that the Malay had murdered two of our crew, John Mean, ordinary seaman, and Francis Richardson, apprentice. The boy Richardson.was on the starboard side of the quarter-deck, who had no doubt come aft to raise an alarm, but, having had the windpipe cut through and a deep. stab in the left breast, he was not able to call out, and must have died with loss of blood instantaneously. John Mean had his throat cut in a most dreadful state, a piece . apparently being'scooped out of,his neck, so that he must have died as soon as the deed bad been committed. We found on the forecastle on the larboard side, about where John Lax last saw the Malay, - a knife covered with blood belonging to one of the seamen, a long sharp-pointed pocket-knife, and that was the instrument that the Malay must have committed the murders with, as the breadth of the blade was exactly the size of the wounds on John Lax's shoulder. We at daylight made another search, but could find no trace of the murderer, nor has he been seen since. John Lax saw him jump overboard, so that he must have drowned himself is our supposition. As there was no boat or vessel of any sort in sight at the time, we cannot form any idea what could have been his motive for so outrage ous an act. There had been no quarrel between him and any other person, but, on the contrary, be had always been used with the greatest kindness by everyone since he came on board, which was on the 4th instant in a very singular manner. A large Arab ship that left Sourabaya the same time that we did, and which, we understand, was hound to Batavia, at about half past five p.m. stood across our bows on the starboard tack, we being on the larboard, the wind W.S.W. It came on rather squally, so that we clewed up our topgallant sails, and the Arab, who was now to windward, and under the same sail, hauled her courses up, and let her topsails run down on the cap, although the squall was not heavy, nor had it a threatening-appearance. After the squall bad passed, she wore and set her topsails again, and made alb sail. Being a light ship, and there being little wit 4 stra s,at 4.07 w three miles ahead of 1.1'3 about eleven p.m., THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. • • • - - it be;ng . the larboard watch:On deck. We discovered that we, came up tti her very last; and that she was'before the wind just on the weatherboiv. It being dark., we thought that we should go to winAlt7aid before 'we came dose, but, on- nearing ..er, found that she had her top'sails down on the cap; although there was no appearance of any squall, and was lying in so singular a nianneTefor a vessel working to windward. e We hailed her, and desired her to make sail and haul to the wind, or we should be foul s of her. We, after hailing`three times, received an an swer, bit we were forced to wear to get clear of her. We .then discovered that this Malay, who has been guilty of these out ra,geous murders, was on the .head, and no clothing on except a handkerchief tied below his breast. The captain ordered him to be searched, but there was no weapon found on him. The ship being by daylight a long way to windward, and not seem ing to take •any notice of us, we were not able to send him on hoard, and, no person being able to interpret the Malay lan-. guage, we could not ascertain from him why or how he had left his ship.. While She was in sight, we saw that be seemed very careful to keep out of view from her; and, if we pointed to the ship, and made stgns of sending him on board, he appeared very much distressed, and would - 141y down on deck to imitate sleep, draw his hands aeross his throat, then jump up suddenly and throw his hands over the- shitOs sides, so that we concluded that he had bee*badly used, and that he was in danger of hair ing his throat cut his sleep and thrown overboard, occur rences not uncomnaorkiu koard ships of that description manned 'partly by Malays and partly -Arabs. The.captatu, therefore, allowed him to remain, as indeed there was no help for it, the ship never coining within hail again. Since we had lost sight of her, he appeared quite pleased and in high spirits. The fol-' lowing day lie came aft of his own accord, and delivered up to the captain a small knife and fork, which we suppose he must have secreted in the head on his first coming on hoard. After having examined the bodies of our murdered shipmates, and being fully convinced that they had departed this life, at eight a.m. we committed their bodies to the deep with the usual ceremony and burial service.—Lot. 5 33 S., long.lll 56 E.

Doncaster, Sunday Morning, Ten o'clock. Some chane.es have taken place in the betting rather unex pectedly; whether it is in consequence of a trial having taken place between Mundig and Hornsea is not at present correctly, : ascertained • but the former has gone down the hill, and Was at -one time as - tow' as . 11, and at another time at 20 to 1, . Hornsea occupied his place at 4to 1. Mundig, however, ht's. since recovered partly his former position, and now stands at 8 to 1. With respect to the Queen, she continues, if possible, in higher favour, and may at present be quoted at about 3 to 1 i and it is the general opinion that sbe will continue at the top of the tree, and on the swung side too. The Queen continues to look remarkably well, performs her work with the utmost re gularity, and is the admiration of all the lovers of the English racehorse. In addition to her other qualities, she possesses one essential in the St. Leger, viz., good temper and good resolu tion, and although she may not, as is said, bear the whip, it is the opinion of many that she will not require it. There are now in the town twenty-three horses for the St. Leger; but they will not all start of course—perhaps fifteen or sixteen will be the most. There are ninety horses in the town. The scene pre sented on the ground this morning was of a very interesting character : teams of holies, belonging the respective training stables, might be seen galloping in all directions. But the most attention was turned to the St Leger favourites, particularly to the Queen, and it is gratifying even to the mere spectator to see that, on the part of Mr. Mostyn, there is no desire to coddle her, —to clothe her with mystery or restrain the public from seeing her, as was the case last year with Plenipo. Everything in this respect is fair and open, and as it should always be. It is im possible to describe the interest which prevails respecting the St. Leger. The principal attention is of course turned to the first four favourites, including Mundig; but some of the out siders will be brought into play shortly. Jupiter it is thought will advance a little, and he certainly, on the day of trial, will be in tha . front, for it is the general opinion that he can go the St. Leger speed, au opinion which is sanctioned by his running so well with General Chasse. • But after all it is a most difficult thing to point out the winner this year. Relying, however, upon the cortectaiess of public running, the Queen of Trumps must stand in the highest favour; and it may be confidently relied upon that he must be an extraordinary horse that can shake her off in the race, provided no accident occurs or that she is not disappointed in her strides. The town is filling very fast ; during the whole of yesterday, end particularly towards evening, carriages continued to roll into the town : many from York festival, and others from every other quarter. The weather, after the late rain, is now beau tifully, fine, there is no dust to annoy travellers, and the rain has hail the effect also of rendering the course in the most beautiful state possible. • In short, the great interest connected with the St. Leger, well es so the other races, not forgetting the splendid caudelabrum, to which the eyes of the friends of General Chasse are very anxiously looking, although he will have his work to do—the beauty of the weather, the excellence of the accommodations in every respect, the safety provided for the pedestrians, and though the last, not the least, the attend ance of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, all will contribute to 'form a scene of the ,highest degree of interest, attraction, and magnificence. -TO DAMEL O'CONNELL,. P,SQUIRE BY COURTESX 8.8. BY PBOPENVOY. Borne men are torn Anis, and some plike fools of thproselves." I am firmjy-Sf opinion that the latter is your case. from the tenor of your swaggering epistle to the Duke of Wellington, it is evident that you believe all the people of England to be fools : I have no hesitation in avowing any conviction that you are one, in the superlative degree; in the fellowship of which belief, I proceed to square a long standing account between you and that Tiubtic whoa► you are now engleavenring to bank. In entering upon this task, you will find that .I can use slang terms and vituperative expressions as well as yourself—singu larly eminent as you are deemed to be, by common acclama tion, in these enviable accomplishments. I .shall imitate your style, and rival your abuse. If the present dose should prove too violently cathartic in its operation, biume youtself; it is concocted in perfect accordance with your own prescriptions— its main ingredients, blustering impudence, overwecning-egot ism,:and Billingsgate raillery, seem (p be the only' cheisicals enumerated in your political pharmacopeia. I beg pardon;. recklessness of assertion, a contemptuous disregard of facts, (when they militate against you,) and barefaced lying, are in dispensable constittients iu all your patriotic nostrums. These I leave out. lu pursuing onr mutual avocations, however, there are some importaut differences between us. You endeavour to beslime with your foul abuse every one who becomes obnoxious to your spleen, by rectitude of principle and honourable conduct; and your abuse, as a matter of course, never sticks to the ob jects of your malevolent-attacks. I have only to shovel filth' upon filth itself; and, by the attraction of cohesion, the homo geneous mass tenaciously holds together with disgusting com- pactness. Nuw, eir, stand erect in all your native brass; on an inia- ginary pillory, (to the reality of which you have an indisputable claim,) and "have at you" with rotten eggs or any garbage at hand. The people of England, "permit me to tell you," laugh to scorn the preposterous folly which you exhibit, in claiming any ,kind of fellowship with such a man as the Puke of Wellington. 'Whist!..,a swinish abortion like you pretending to be fitasiliatH with-.o -true British lion !—its vulgarss - bittsterisig buffocs iikC you, affecting any community of feeling with a yeutlemant—H lcu, who have no honour to vindicate, no character worth , picking out of the kenneli—you, whom we involuntarily iden tify with the very dregs, the very swillings of society, arro- ' gating the right to address, in terms of equality, a nobleman of high bearing, whose straightforward honesty of purpose has extorted the applause even of his enemies! Insolent mortal! Know yourself. The people of England both know and appre ciate you and your abominable doings. They kuow you to be a designing knave, an insolent poltroon, an unconscionable beggar, whoie bloated avarice leads him to snatch the last penny from the hand of the famishing peasant, whose distresses he perpetuates by affecting to redress his grievances. They know hint whom you malign to be a great and au honest man, whose character will beer sifting, whose public virtues are enshrined in the hearts of millions, whose laurels, ever fresh and verdant, are as imperishable as the rights and liberties of the country for Which he fought, and which rights and privi leges - you are sedulously labouring to annihilate. In frus trating these scandalous attempts of yours, we look to him and his party with confidence, kuowing that they will not flinch from their duty. Undeterred by your vapouriug threats, they will fight the battle of the constitution. Spite of 'all your braggadocios, this noble "war battalion" will speedily drive you, and your "awkward squad," from the field. You have already felt their power. It will soon crnat you. The public exhibitions which you arc now making of your self will not afford you any test of the opinion which the people of England entertain regarding you. You are feasted by a mean - rad ical clique, which is already in articulo tam tis. You dare not show your face in any decent society. Let us see you on the ' Liverpool Exchange, if you possess animal courage enough to encounter the execrations of the wealthy end re spectable merchants of this flourishing town. All your accus tomed .blarney—concentrated into one energetic effort to wheedle them into toleration—would not procure you a mo ment's respite-from their hearty hootings. There were, for merly, a •few individuals who thought you clever, and hoped that you might prove honest. They'll/rye been undeceived; and you now stand denuded of every 'claim to their partiality. .It may prove worth your* while to ascertain the composition .of those audiences to address and sponge upon which you have recently procured invitations. You will find among them but a very thin sprinkling of the parliamentary constituency of the kingdom. Upon this class rest the excited hopes of the nation, and these you cannot influence. Do not vainly persuade your self that the eager curiosity with which a glipse •of your person is sought affords any indication of esteem nn the part of your beholders. The people only stare at you as they would at any other—monster, or at a felon on his way to the gallows. Permit me to notice in detail a few of the more prominent points in your , letter, -- • ••. • . . You stoutly deny having been convicted of any misdemeanour previously to your unexpected alliance with the present minis try. Your infamous conduct with reference to the cases of Murphy Hudson, and others, leads us to believe in the justice of the imputation exactly it proportion to your pertinacity and .mock solemnity in endeavouring to exonerate yourself from the charge. Independently of this, you fully admit that you disobeyed a proclamation of the King's representative, which emphatically declared your proceedings to be illegal. Was not this an overt act of rebellion, and is not rebellion a misdemeanour? It surely cannot have' escaped your memory that the editor of the paper in whose columns your incendiary trash was pre_ rented to your deluded countrymen was imprisoned on your account, and vicariously suffered the penalty due for your in fractiOn of the law. Does not.this afford a compound specimen of your wonted cowardice and delinquency ? Would any man, possessed of the least spark of honourable feeling, have thus basely permitted his much more innocent accomplice to endure a protracted incarceration, while he himself chuckled over his exemption from punishment ? There is only one man capable of such discreditable conduct, and that map is Daniel O'Con• nell. Allow me to refresh your memory on ancither subject. It is , • comparatively, but u shoit time since yPV wore emphatically denounced in the King's speech as a distU s itier fhp peace of Ireland. That was the only instance in wh,io your most sweet . friends, the whigs, had sufficient pinek to‘ (feat you aeeording to your merits. Can you point out any otlaer'POlitiCil . ,Slifender within the last century, whose high crimes and misderdeanours entitled him to such a prominent recognition of his dangerou s character and inflammatory proceedings ? Such truculent de magogues are not of every day growth. One Joel: . Cade, or one Daniel O'Connell, is quite sufficient in a generation. A further multiplication of such desperadoes would soon extin guish every gleam of civilization in the world; and rapidly de . populate the earth itself. It i 3 quite amusing to notice how pathetically you bemoan your long-continued exclusion from the honours of a silk gown. Why were your claiMs to this distinction so long held in abeyance? Did it never occur to yin that the government justly appreciated you as a dangerous chalacter, whose baneful influence the adventitious circumstance of your promotion might have contributed to augment? Surely this was an ade quate motive for your missing that precedence, the loss of which made your heart "So wearifu' and sore." In connexion with this pity-extorting Jeremiade, you Men , tion incidentally that many of your clients were orangemen and that most, of them were protestants.. If so, if thesa . were the parties who enabled you to obtain a subsistence, jti it: not a scandalous mark of your characteristic ingratitude that you now embrace every opportunity : of traducing their character, endangering their personal security, alienating their property, and extirpating their religion? I thank you, in the name of the people of England, for the candid acknowledgment that the persecuted protestants were your earliest patrons. They now find, however, that in fostering your rising talents they were nourishing a viper whose venomous fangs would be turned against the.hand that fed it. Yo say that you do not owe the power or influence (they are convertible terms) which you now possess, to superior birth, fortune, or talents. This will be readily conceded; but what think you of attributing this wonderful accession of power to —superior impudence and superior knavery ? You assert that your unprecedented power is derived from the suffetings, the.woes, and miseries of Ireland. We will take you, for once, at your word. Who has'originated those suffer ings, insulted over those woes, and increased, to an inappreciable extent, those complicated miseries? You, and men like you, who, urged on by unbridled passions,.pursue their unprincipled career of ferocious agitation, by stimulating into active operation the elements of civil strife, have been the authors of Ireland's wrongs. Those wrongs which form the burden of every speech you deliver, and which are stamped on e 4 ..y . your hand, are increased, and you labour to increase tlierii,"l4 both expedients. You elicited theffrst spark of disaffectin f and you are unremitting in your exertions to fan it to a fiatnei Give the deluded peasants of Ireland a firm and vigorous go. vernment that will not sulnit.to be bearded by such reckless malcontents as Daniel O'Connell ; let them be protected in actffig independently of their besotted Priests; ednCate them ; give them a fair chance, by enlarged means and increased fa talities for becoming protestant,; and then, and only then, can Ireland be what it'should be, from its insular position and un bounded internal resources—the land of peace and plenty. You seem to forget that the protestants of Ireland have wrongs to complain of. They suffer poignantly from those agrarian disturbances which are so prevalent ; tftey stand iu hourly dread of assassination; they have to submit to every species of vio lence offered to their persons and their property ; they ate, in many parts, a proscribed and decimated people; and whom is this owing to? To the lira-agitator and his congenial satellites, who seem to htiA;e entered upon au exterminating crusade against them, and for whom the, groans of the butchered yarent, BETTING AT MANCHESTER. Although 'we have arrived within'a few days of the Great St. Leger being decided, still there is no change to notice in either of the two first favourites for this interesting race.

Of the two we think the Queen appears to have the call in this . town, although the reverse is the case in London.

About four years since a man was in Spilsby gaol, and was challenged with being Abraham Cox; but although he denied it, both the man and his wife claimed him as theft son, took him home, and clothed him. From that time he lived with them as their son, and has got mar ried. About a month since, however, the real Abraham Cox came home, upon which the adopted son took himself off, lead ing a wife and family (who have no idea whence he came or what are his connexions), and has not since been heard of.

M A YNOOTH COLLEGE.—Return to an order of the Hon. the House of Commons, dated 16th July, 1835—for a return of the sums of money voted to the College of Maynooth during the last five years; the number of Professors employed therein, and their respective salaries. A return of the sums of money voted to the College of Maynooth during the last five years: —annual .amount, uniformly : £8928, with the exception of the grant for the-year ending 31st of March last, which amounted to £8978; £5O additional to the grant of former years. Total amount' in five years, £44,690. A return of the number of Professors em ployed .0,1 the A• . !iillege or. 111aynooth during the last kte years, and their respective salaries:—The prefect of the Dunbervne Establishment, First Prbfessor of Theology, Second ditto, ditto, Third ditto, ditto; Professier of Sacred Scripture and Hebrew:, each £122; ditto of Matheniaties and Experimental Philosophy, ditto of Legic, 'Metaphysics ' and Ethics, ditto of Rhetoric, ditto of Humanity; ditto of English Elocution and French, ditto of Irish, EM each; ditto of Declamation, about a month each year, £2l.' . N:B.—The Prefect of the Dunboyio establisinent, and Professor of Theology, Cannon Law, and Ecclesiastical History, in - the second quarter of the last year obtained an in crease of £2O per annum. The salaries of the other Professors have been uniformly as in the above return. Women, brought up in ignorance of comfort, of course, are careless about the means of providing for it. They are heedless how they marry, and when married, never think of the duties :of their situation. I recollect a young woman, the wife of a labourer in the country, once applying to me respecting some alleged harsh treatment on the part of a shopkeeper, to whom she owed money. On itivestigating the case, I found that she regularly spent three shillings,a week in sweet things, and that she held herself entitled to pass the first year after her marriage in-complete idleness; a privilege, I discovered, by no means sel dom claimed. Of course the habits of the first year would be come, in a great measure, the habits of after life, and the indul gence in-sweet things would most likely be transferred in time to things less harmless.—The Original. THE IstiNFroN MARKET BILL—The passing of the Isling ton Market Bill through parliament has not caused the sensa tion, which was expected, from the resolute manner in which i was opposed upon the part of the City. By the dexterous tnan agement of ,the City Solicitor and Ald. Wood, a clause very much in favour of the City interests was introduced into the bill in (he committee of the House of Lords. This clause makes it compulsory upon the proprietors of Islington Market to in demnify the. City of, London for any deficiency in the average receipts ; so t hat if the profits of Smithfield Market do not ex ceed £3OOO in one year, the sum of £lOOO must be furnished by the Islington Market proprietors, in order to recompense the City for the injury. It is supposed that this regulalion will damp the speculation of the new market. Swiss JusTicE.--When the ex-King of Sweden visited Bask some years ago, his finances were, as it is well known, at a very low ebb. A shoemaker to whom he had sent a pair of boots to be mended, having charged his. majesty three times as much as the job was worth, Gustavus refused to pay the money. The son of Crispin sued him and was beat: he then appealed to a higher tribunal, which not only gave the cause against him, but condemned him to an amends of a day's wages, and reduced the charge to the ordinary price for soling a pair of boots. The king was highly delighted, and wrote to the judges expressing satisfaction, sending them at the same time the bouts, and en treating that they might be suspended over the tribunal in testi mony of the justice of the laws of the republic. We know not whether the royal Oquest Was complied with; but the anecdote is given by Pryse , c4nrdon, on the authority Of the Swedish ini• nister. ~'}a_"•`~:L. fa .?:YT+I Jfi ' l~tikF~ ".': ~!"L.Y~~Gfr ,: r: ✓AiyC3i2 : 3~3~7t+y =. i~'aT~ Y`4~_ ,}',ft'^~~; ;44F3, cP4,7, and the cries of the helpless orphan, seem still to have all their osikinal Chariris and poWers of Captivation; • • In your eloquent denunciation of protestant ascendancy you seem to forget That there is such a thing as Roman catholic ascendancy- 7 an ascendancy characterised by the most atrocious oppression, insult, devastation, and slaughter. You seem to forget that no avowed protestant darereinain in some parts of Ireland. You seem to forget the impudent assumption of po litical power by your venal priests; the intimidation which they exercise over the electoral body; their diabolical attempts to banish from the peasant's cottage the only book which can ad minister consolation to him in the endurance of those ills which your unprincipled conduct has superinduced, You seem to for get the curses which you have yourself fulminated against the protestants ; and the death's head and crossbone escutcheon with which you have threatened to decorate their homes. You reiterate your threat that you will Dever cease to agitate while there remains one grievance with which Ireland is afflict . ed unredressed. This will only be the case when you cease to exist. While you live Ireland is sure to suffer. But will you have the candour to define what you mean by full and complete justice to Ireland ? Does . not that ultimatum include the ;Ann:. hilation of the protestant religion and its supercession by popery ? Does not full justice to Ireland mean, in your mouth, the re instalment of the breeehless vagabonds whom we are annually called upon to relieve in those possessions which they claim by he reditary right? Do you not mean to restore the forfeited estates of Ireland to the mendicants whom we so often see with the title deeds of those estates sewed up in their tatteredgarinents ? Does nut your " complete justice" imply the transfer of four ' fifths of the property in Ireland, from its present holders, into the hands of your pennyless bogtrotters ? I tell you that this is the grand end of your agitation—conceal it .as you will. Of course your claims will not be neglected in the scramble. Your share in the plunder is amply guaranteed.

LIIERPOOL' POLICE. .IZitlDAY.—(Before the Mayon and Alderman Sir Joust.: l i on IN;) ANOTHER WARNING TO STRANG:.:RS.—A woman,: stained M aryA no Atkinson, was charged by a young can named JameS Baton, under the following circumstancest—Cotnplainant'stat edthat he was a worsted-dyer, and resided in Rochdale. He came to Liverpool -on Thursday week, on an excursion of plea stire. At about twelve o'clock on the night of Wednesday last, he was walking somewhere in the neighbourhood of Brownlow hill, where he met the prisoner, front whom be inquired the way to Tithebarn-street, where he lodged. The prisoner said he would be too late for his lodgings, but she would show him where he could obtain a bed. He consented to arcompany her, and she led him to a house which she pretended was a lodging- j house. He was shown to a chamber, and went to bed. In. the morning, when he was about to dress himself, he discovered that his coat and waistcoat were missing. He went down stairs, and there discovered the prisoner, who said, if heAcould give her something she would procure them for him. He gave her a shilling, which was all the money he had left. The prisoner then went out, qnd shortly returned. with some wine. Finding he could obtain no further information respecting his habili ments, he departed and gave information to a police-officer, who took the prisoner into custody, and traced lite coat and vest to the shop of Mrs. Quirk, Renshaw - street, where they had be e n pledged that morning for eight shillings. A little girl proved that the prisoner had met her, and given her sixpence for pawning the articles. The prisoner was committed for trial. INcataTertim—A woman named Margaret Kelly was charg ed with having robbed Mrs. Mary Ritchv, under the following circumstances:—The latter stated that. she resided at No. 127, London-read. On the 9th of August last, the prisoner, whom she had known for fourteen years, came to her 'house and said that her husband hail been beating her, and requested to be perrnittedato remain there for a short.time, which was ac corded. She (the prisoner) lived with her until the Bth instant, during which time complainant missed four keys. - One of these keys belonged to a caddy Where she had ten ponniis, which she bad saved for her. rent. When she discovered the loss of her kevs,which she had not yet found, she locked this caddy in a drawer. On Tuesday last the prisoner left her, when, having missed some articles horn the house, she examined the caddy iu the presence of a witness, and, to her cdnsternation, discovered that eight petunds of the money had been purloined. On further examination she missed two table-cloths, a sheet, some spoons, and several articles of wearing apparel. She gave im mediate information at the police-office, and Cockburn was sent to apprehend the prisoner, which he did, and took her to the Duncan-street lock-up, where she' was searched by Mrs. .Lythgoe, who found in her possession no fewer than sixty-two pawn tickets. Cockburn took the complainant with him to several of the pawnbrokers signified thereon, and she discover- . ed and identified most of the property stolen from her house. Several pawnbroker; attended the court, but only one of them, the assistant of Mr. Gillard, of London-road, could identify the prisoner. With this person she had pawned a green table-cloth, anti had been so importunate for its reception that the witness remembered her front that circumstance. ROBBERY BY A SHOPMAN.—John Kitchen, an assistant in t e shop of Mr. Rowland, hair-dresser, Park-lane, was brought be t fore the mat/-trates, charged with having robbed his rua-ter of various art es which had been exhibited in the shop for sale. It appears, at Mrs. Rowland had some suspicion of the dis honest pray sof the prisoner, which caused hor to watch his conduct very tcitscrowly. Ou Friday. as he was cleaning the windows, she sawirme ladies' combs falling from beneath his waistcoat ; she called him into the shop and asked him where he .litui-got those articles. —l-le-replielishat they worn his wan, ansi attempted to leave the shop, but she closed the door. lie then rushed out at the back door and got ever the wall, but, Mrs. Rowland having raised an alarm. he wasseized and again taken into the shop, when Captain Roberts,'of the _Nightly Watch, was sent for, who searched the prisoner, and found upon his per son twenty-fire combs of various descriptions, eleven papers of hair pins, and some. other articles. The prisoner was taken to Bridewell. Roberts then proceeded to the lodgings of the pri soner, and searched his box, where he found a quantity of other property, all of which was identified by Mrs. Rowland. The prisoner had nothing to say ih his defence, and was committed for trial at the Borough Sessions. LANCASHIRE ANNUAL GENERAL SESSION. On Thurs.day last the General Annual Session of the Peace for (big county was held, by adjournment, at the Court-house in Preston. The magistrates present were I'. Ainsworth, Esq., M.P., T. Greene, Esq., M.P., the Rev. J T. Horton, R. Noble, 'l'. Moss, . Baldwin, H. A. Rawstorne, P. E. Townley, John Taylor, I'. H. H. Welch, Henry -Tempest, John Parker, W. Ince Anderton, T. B. Crosse, John Cunliffe, Adam Hodg son, Robert Lomax, H. T. Hesketh, John Lomax, James Clarke, William Garnett, William Carlow, T. R. W. France and W..W. Carus Wilson, Esqrs. ; T. Greene, Esq., M.P., was called to the chair. The greater part of the sitting was oc cupied in the passing of the county treasurer's accounts, and the proceedings that supervened were not of peculiar importance: On the readin.• of an item for the putting down of riots at elec tions, a general opinion was expressed that the respective towns and hundreds, and not the county, should be liable to the csat of their suppression; but no motion was made on the subject. On the question of the Lunatic Asylum, to which considerable arrears were due by several townships, a motion was agreed to to the effect that Mr. Willan, treasurer, -should enforce the pay-, ment of all undisputed accounts due, and that where they were disputed or difficulties presented themselves be should be guided by the visiting magistrates of Lancaster. The several rolls required by the county treasurer were laid a t a b ou t th e usual amount. Mr. T.D. Addison moved that 500 copies ofthe list of county voters under the reform bill should be printed tbis year, with a view to greater publicity; and that a copy should be sent to each of the magistrates who were alone competent to correct the numerous errors into which overseers had hitherto fallen in their respective localities. The Rev. J. T. Horton ob jected to the motion ; he thought the less the magistrates meddled with elections the better; and if they want e d th e list they could purchase it. On Mr. Birchall, deputy clerk of the pehre, stating that be thought 200 copies fur both divisions were sufficient, the rev. gentleman moved, as an amendment, that that number be printed, and that the actual cost be the price at which:they should be sold. This was agreed to by a majority Of 12 .- to _petition was read from Elizabeth Harrison, widow of the late taskmaster at Lancaster Castle, praying for some assistance for herself and family : The court regretted that they had no power to comply with its prayer. A memo rial was presented from Mr.. Gardner, contractor for. the con veyance of convicts, praying that the sum of £5O, .a fine im posed in 1832 for a slight breach of contract, might be remitted. che court was of opinion that, as the line was imposed by the Kirkdale magistrates, they could not with propriety interfere.— , On the subject of ,prison discipline a motion was agreed to that the old rules, (as required by a new act of parliament) as welt as the new rules recently agreed to by. he justices, s hould be transmitted to the Secretary of State, to-be passed by him—the jurisdiction therein being, by theact, transferred from the judge to that offic'er.Mr. Fleetwood's notice of motion relative to refreshments to the magistrates was withdrawn, by letter from that gentleman, who was in another county, and who assigned as his reason for withdrawing it that the county rates were about to undertro a revision in parliament.—On the reading of the item of £286 Ils. 641. for the preservation of the peace and Morton down gambling at Aintree race-course, the Rev. J. T. Horton deprecated such a charge on the county; and, after considerable discussion, carried a motion that, in the judgment of the court, the expense of the preservation of the peace at race-courses, and especially the putting down of gambling, should be borne by the committees, companies or parties who establish or manage the sanie.—Mr. T. B. Addison then pro posed and carried a motion that will have the effect of rendering the hundred of Salford, which is now liable for the support of its own house of correction only, liable for the support of such prisoners from that hundred as may be sent to Kirkdale for trial as a common gaol. Mr. Horton adverted to some illegal orders for the conveyance of prisoners to the lock-ups, Cc., aud pro posed a motion which was carried,—" That the county treasurer refuse all orders for allowances for loss of time, char es for or ders and lock-up allowances, before commitment."—The chair man alluded to a notice of motion by himself relative to the division of county rates, iir consequence of the division of assizes, and said that, had he not been in the chair, it was his in tention to withdraw it, as he thought it advisable to await the operation of the corporation reform meticar be Mr. Addison was a g reed to—" That the practi ce o f a d ver ti s in g th e order in whichtha causes are to be tried be discontinued, the same having become unnecessary in consequence of the rem:cal of the assizes. The court then broke up after sitting from eleven till four o'clock. BROUGHAM'S EPITAPH ON HIMSELF.—It is said, we do not know how truly, that Lord Tomkins Jenkins Brougham and Vaux, a playful mood, the other evening, wrote the fol lowing epitaph on himself. Nobody can deny but that if his eccentric lordship really did so, he has hit the truth complete ly— " Here, reader, turn your weeping eyes— . My fate an useful moral teaches ; The hole in which my body lies Could not contain one-half my speeches." ONE or HUME'g OWN.--It will be recollected that Mr. Hume, a short time ago, stated. upon the authority (as the Morning Chronicle paradei it) of his "own correspondence," that the majority at the collegiate church of Wolverhampton against a church-rate *as six hundred, and that thtec-fourths of the town were against such rates. The majority at the collegiate church was forty; so much for Mr. Hume's veracity on the first point. The extent of it on the sec-midis proved hy the fact, that at a recent contest in the parish of St. John's', .at Wolver hampton, a church-rate wcs carried by a majority of eighty ! Mr. Home seems determined to set both propriety and truth at dcfianee.--4ile. • 5 , !,ZANit,-r ,•,- TO THE tp11:01i (.)I.'

ACCIDENT ON THE BOLTON AND BURY CANA L.—FOT SOMC weeks past workmen have been employed in making a diversion; about a quarter of a mile long, in that part of the Bolton and 'Bury canal which passes through Charlestown,-the-oki site of the canal being required fur the railrOad Which the canal pro, ptietors are constructing. As the work approached its termina tion, it was found necessary to dam up tlie-water of the canal at Agecrott Bridge. in order to prevent its bursting through the narrow mound of earth which at the point of junction separated the old from the new line, and the navigation of the canal was stopped for a time. On Friday . morning week the dam was removed, nod the water turned into the new channel • and short time after the Bolton packet had passed throitgl, it was discovered that the water was oozing through the new bed of the canal and the cellars in the lower part of Charlestown were inundated by the overflowing of culvert whiCh convels the refuse water from the linen factory of Mr. Kaye, on the banks of the cabal, to the river Irwell: An immediate search was made into the cause of this Inundation, when it was discovered that the cutreit w under the bed of th e canal nut arched over with brick, but metely covered with flags, and that the water had burst through theta into the culvert. Prompt means were adopted to stop the progress of the - mischief, but without success, and about eleven-o'clock at night th e b o d y (touter burst through a thick wall which had been erected to protect the new embank nient, and another 'new wall which had been built to separate the towing path from the adjoining fields. The extent of wall thus thrown down and washed into the fields was about twelve yards, and the same length of towing: path was also carried away. In addition to this considerable dareage wai done to the garden of a market gardener, named Hobson, at Brindle Heath,. and to the fields and gardens on that side of the canal which is nearest to Manchester. A large body of workmen are new em ployed in the construction of a new culvert, and in repairing the other ravages of the inundation, and in a few days the canal will again be open.

"That in all cases in which any compen sation monies, not exceeding the sum of two hundred pounds sterling, shall be adjudged by the commissioners to belong to, or be vested in any infants or lunatics, such monies shalt b e paid to his. her, or their natural or other guardian or guardians, committee or committees, to and for the use and benefit of such infants or lunatics so entitled thereto respectively."

The procession was heaued by n band of music. A large gilt cross, the banner of St—Patrick. and a great number of other trumpery flags gave further eclat to the exhibition, which passed from V.' t, re into Chu rc h. street, and from thence, through Lord-street and James , street; to the river. It will be remembered that early in July last, upon the mere suspicion that the Orange Association of this town intended to hold a meeting, riots of a very serious nature occurred, which rendered it necessary to read the riot act and call upon the military to assist the civil power—riots be it ob served, created by the very parties who yesterday had the auda city to parade their mummery through the very heart of this large town. We have heard it rumoured that the chapel is really intended fur a nunnery—a hether it be so or nut we do not know. Fink IN SCOTLAND-ROAD. — On Friday morning, about seven o'clock, a fire broke out in the shop of Misses Jones, small ware-dealers, Scotland-road, which completely gutted it; and, but for the manly exertions of a scavenger and several seafaring men, with the assistance of a good pomp in the yard, and plenty of buckets, probably the range of shops adjoining would have shared the same fate, as the wild was blowing exceedingly . fresh at the time. We understand that the Misses Jones-were not insured, which is deeply to be regretted, as the shop was their chief support,. and they had this week got a fresh stuck in. There were no engines present.

THE SPORM.—TO weather from Wednesday -to Saturday was very tempestuous. The barometer began to tall on Tu es . day evening; on Wednesday it continued to fill; and on Thursday it sunk unusually low. The wind, which blew a stiff trale from the westward onVednesday, increased to a storm on Thursday, and, as night advanced, swept over the town with ali the force of a hurricane. The Thetis, Post.office -steam packet, dropped down early in the afternoon to Watlasey.hole, bat the river steamer which was enraged to take the mail and passengers down to her failed, owing to the violence of th; storm, in reaching the hole, and the Thetis was forced to re turn to the river as the good tide made.. The consequence of this was, that the Dublin mail, which ought to have been de spatebed at five o'clock' on Thursday, was not sent off until neon on Friday. The Thetis reached Kiugstown at Cite o'clock on Saturday morbing, and returned to Liverpool by seven in the evening, with the mail aurhnearly fifty passengers. Violent as was the storm, we are happy to state that. the cla 'map which it caused.tu the town and shipping was inconsider able. At sea, however, some lamentable disasters have occur red. The ship Sarah, which sailed, on Tuesday, for Dente. rare, was wrecked on Friday in Carnaivon Bay, and the ship Plutarch, from New Orleans , on the same day, near Thilv- . • thehic l ife to el coast, atl.tii b ut lsaaltp ilyS, the crews of both these ve sse l s were save d fl t the o re m w es e m ks of uli he S craft have a sustained d amage a l ong Sarah and the Plutarch are the principal disasters which have °centred.
