As the following review embraces articles not usually noticed in our Price Current, some mercantile anomalies will doubtless be detected, such as articles falling in demand, Sze.; but in the main they will be found correct:— this all important and favourite article the usual scarcity continues. The demand is tremendous. Holders very firm. DCST.—Since the rains ceased this article has risen consider ably, and is in lively circulation. Settars.—Quite an animated retail business still continues —purchasers taking up the article with great avidity; and though holders are by no means firm, but for the most part give way when pressed, yet the demand rises as the article goes down. COUGHS AN o CoLns.—The stock has diminished since the weather becatued settled ; and as in most cases holders have been well disposed to part with ell they had, the article has gone eff freely. In what has been long un band, there is a tendency • to a decline. DONS.—Very plentiful; but there is not a good feeling to wards them in the market, and though receipts are offered with them gratis, they are kept up with great reluctance. Fues.—Have coins into the market in great quantities. LADIES Ditasses.—There is better feeling • manifested. • • Pet icuats have come down very considerably since last season, and ankles, which were freely offered to a great extent, now come more sparingly before the public. The bonnet business, which occupied so large a space in the attention of speculators, has been much curtailed, and noses are occasionally seen in profile. Flounces which ranged so high formerly, are rarely to be met with; but the sleeve trade is carried ou to a stupendous extent. Livg Srorx.—Dandies are much pressed, and calves are • heavy and dull. Matta LAGas.—Driring the past season the market has been unusually lively, and it is supposed that numerous speculations were made.—Several contracts were completed at prices which haws not transi . cired. There is vet a large stuck undisposed of. Fair descriptions are lo biriik' - demand. Choia•-tis -scarce. Offers are freely made for such of this quality as remains in first rate hands. A few lots have been taken up for exportation. Cash is required in the general run of transactions. HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. The following is the Report presented to the House of Lords, on Friday, from the Select Committee. on a plan for a more convenient temporary accommodation for the House of Lords :- - 4 ' That the committee had met, and considered the matter to them referred, together with toe letter from Sir Robert Smirke; and had alsii considered the petition front Mr. James Dean, and had examined Sir Robert Smirke, and had come to the fol lowinli resolution : " Chat the committee are of opinion that the plan recom mended by Sir Robert Smirke, for erecting a temporary House on the site described in his letter, between the present House and St. Stephen's Chapel, will he best adapted for the tempo rary accommodation of the House, and ought to be commenced and proceeded with forthwith, with a view to its occupation at the'cionmencement of the next session of parliament.' " ' That the committee are further desirous of calling the at tention of the House to that, part of Sir Robert Smirke's evi dence, in which he deseribes the present state of the walls of S't. Step4eu's Chapel, and to the expediency of taking them down without delay, with a riew to safety, as well as some other portions of the old buildings adjacent, for the purpose of clear ing the ground for the future erection of the new and perma nent houses of pa filament : " And that the committee had directed the minutes of evi -deuce taken before them to be laid before the house." AN ARTIST'S REVENGE.- The temper of Zucchero, the painter, was strongly tinctured with resentment, as will be seen by the following anecdote related of him:— Zucchero, while employed by Pope Gregory XIII., to paint the Pauline Chapel in the Vatican, fell out with some of his Holiness's officeis. To be revenged, he painted their portraits with eels of asses, and exposed the picture publicly over the gate of St. Luke's church, on the festival of that saint, the patron of painters. kor this gross affront he was compelled-to fly from Rome, and hide himself in obscurity, fur beyond the reach of his indignant enemies. DEATH OF THE COTINTESS FERRERS.—At Chartley Castle, at eight o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, the 30th of June, the Right Honourable Sarah Countess Ferrer", second wife of the Right Honourable Washinlton Earl Ferrers, and V isconnt Tamworth. Her ladyship was the eldest daughter of 'William Davy, of ltacleigh, in the county of Essex, Esq., and was born on the-20th c;fAugust4.lBol, she was, consequently, in her 31st year. The highly.accomplisbed and tirbane manners of the de ceased countess had endeared her to her own circle of friends, whilst her condescending affability will make her regretted by a. numerous and respei.table teuantm. DEATH op Loan Sureinn.—We regret to.anuounce that Lord Suffield, who met with an accident.a few days since from the falling of his horse, in St. James's-park, died on Monday • evening. his lordship was in his s.lth 5 ear. Einiieriat I)artiamtnt. HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY. The Marquis Of SALISB CR V presented the report of the select committee on the Islington market bill. The Earl of RtroN and the Doke of RICHMOND presented petitions from Canada praying for alterations iu the legislative government of that colony. The Duks of RICHMOND presented a petition from a gentle man residinki in Essex, praying to be heard by counsel against the Islington market bill. The Marquis of Saussuity opposed the prayer of the peti tion, the subject matter of it , having been already discussed before the committee. _ Lord BitoiGliata complained of the manner in which select committees of both houses of parliament conducted the business intrusted to them. Ile recollected, some years ago, when a bill was referred to a committee of the other house, and a oropost lion was made respecting it, which was supported by 14 mem bers who had attended to the evidence, down came 16 gentlemen who had never heard the evidence, and they decided the other way. The proceeding was, however, complained of in the house, and by acclamation the decision was set aside. .1n con sequence, the bill was ultimately thrown- out. Such was the conduct of those judges—not judges of oyer and terminer, but judges of termineroans oyer. (A laugh.) This being the mode of carrying on the private bill business, he should always. as he had heretofore done, protest against such a course of pro ceeding. Noble lords and honourable gentlemen ought to re collect that on these occasions they were . deciding rights as judges. T bey were making laws which suspended in many cases the course of the common law and of the statute law of the land. They, however, concocted laws and decided upon important voids in a way in which no judge or juror would dare to decide a case involving property to the amount of .ClO, that was, without hearing the evidence ur examining the parties who were interested on both sides. SCOTCH CHURCH. Viscount D uric ANNor.I presented petitions from several places in Scotland on the subject of church patronage in Scotland, and against any grant to the church establishment of that country. POOR LAWS IX lI:LLANO. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from an indivii dual named Lawless, in Dublin, praying their lordships to lose no time in enacting a well-regulated poor-law system for Ire land. The petitioner referred to the state of the charity funds there, which were so low as to prevent the authorities affording to the poor that relief they otherwise would. REGULATION OF PRISONS The Duke of RICHMON D said that, as chairman of the com mittee upon the bill for the regulation of prisons, he had been desired to bring up the report, with amendments, which he did, and gave notice that on Thursday next he should move that this bill be committed. Adjourned at a quarter before seven. • HOUSE 'OF COMMONS.—MosnAy, TIMBER DUTIES.. Lord SANDON presented petitions from the ship owners, and also from the shipwrights of Liverpool, against any alteration in the timber duties. A great nu tnber of other petitions were presented to the house, but none of them possessed any particular interest. IRISH TITHE BILL. In answer to a qu3stion from Lord Stanley, Lord Mon rtiTH said he hoped to be able to lay this bill on the . table of the house on the following day, aud, provided the corporation bill did nut interfere, that at would be read a second time on Monday next. MUNICIPAL CouPonATIONS BILL.—COMMITTEE. The 79th clause, which had been past poned for further con sideration, was, after considerable discussion, agreed to, and ordered to stand part of the bill. The remaining clauses of the bill were also agreed -to. After which the other postponed clauses were again considered and adopted. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the adoption of the last clause rendered it necessary that a different artangement should be made in the schedule's. For the purpose of taking into his con sideration what that arrangement should be, he would now move that the chairman report progress and ask leave to sit again to morrow, when, if he was prepared, as he expected that be should be, ivy should propose that they go on at five o'clock with the schedules. When the debate was closed, he should propose that in a day or two afterwards the bill should be recommitted pro fin-ntii, In order that hon. gentlemen might bring up any new clauses which they might think necessary. He would then move that the bill, as amended in the committee, be printed; and he hoped that the prints would be in the hands of hon. members long enough to enable them to receive the report on Monday next. Ile proposed that the house should take the report into consideration before it centered upon the Irish question. Mr. GLADSTONE asked the noble lord whether, in case the municipal corporation bill was not ready to he reported on Mon day next, he meant to go on with the second reading of the Irish church bill ? Lord J. RUSSELL replied in the affirmative. The CHA IRM then reported progress, aui obtained leave to sitagtin to -morrow._ _ Et.t.Ey asked When it might be expected that the report of the commissioners fur the home circuit on the municipal cor porations would be ready? Lord J. Ruasait. replied, that he could not at that moment answer the question, and referred the hon. and gallant member fur information to his hon. and learned friend behind him, the member fur Huddersfield. Mr. L. CHARLTON asked a question respecting the report or protest of Mr. HOgg; to which Lord J. RUSSELL gave a reply: but neither the question nor the reply was distinctly heard in the gallery. The linen trade (Ireland) bill was read and passed through the committee. fNVERNESS•SHfRE ELECTION. Mr. A. COOPER brought up the report of the select committee on the Invernessshire election, which was that Mr. A. W. Chisholm had been duly elected a member to serve in parlia tnent fet the county of Inverness; and that the petition against his return was neither frivolous nor vexatious. KING'S COUNTY PETITION. _ _ Mr. N. FiTzsimotv trusted that the house would for one moment extend to him that indulgence which it was usual to grant to any member who felt that he was personally aggrieved. He had been given to understand that the noble lord, the mem ber for North Lancashire, had presented a petition from the high sheriff, grand jury, and some freeholders of the county which he (M r . Fitzsimon) had the honour to represent. Now, in his opinion, that noble lord would only have been acting in conformity with the usual courtesy observed among the mem bers of that house, if he had communicated his intention of presenting such petition to the representatives of the King's county. He would only remark at the present moment, that the allegations contained in the petition were, if he had been correctly informed of their nature, unfounded in fact, and he trusted that the noble lord would afford him and his honourable colleague an opportunity of giving them a more precise con tradiction. Mr. J. WEsTENnA expressed his concurrence in the state ment made by his honourable colleague rdspectiug the petition in question. ABERDEEN UNIVERSITIES BILL. Mr. BA NNERAJ AN moved the second reading of this bill the object of which he stated to be to join together the two uni versities in the city of Aberdeen. Dr. Bow RING said, that he had a petition intrusted to him, not directed against the second readingof the bill, but praying that ample time might be allowed for itaconsideration. Captain GORDON would not object to the second reading of the measure; but he trusted that it Would not be hurried through its future stages: Sir R. PEEL was friendly to the principle of the bill, but he joined with the hon. gentleman who had just preceded him in expressing a hope thatample time would be given for consider ing its details, and that endeavours would be made to effect the object in view with the good will of all parties concerned. He was glad to understand that the people of Aberdeen were willing to relinquish the distinction which had long attached to their city, for he recollected to have read an old history of A ber deen, which began in these words—" Aberdeen like England has two universities." (Laughter.) After a few words from Mr Hume, Mr. WARBURTON recommended that the evidence given before the commission of inquiry on the Scotch Universities should be printed. Sir 11. PEXL trusted that no consideration of expense would prevent the reprinting of the whole of thaVevidence. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on the 23d of July. The other orders of the day being disposed of, the house adjourned, on the motion of Mr. Brutlierton, at half-past 12 o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS-TUESDAY. The Marquis;f — LANSDOWNE moved on address to his Majesty, praying that his Majesty will be graciously pleased to give directions for the erection of a temporary building fur their lordships' convenience in the next session of parliament.— Agreed to. The Marquis of SALISBURr moved that the Islington market bill be argued at their lordships' bar by one counsel on each side on Thursday.—Agreed to. Some petitions were then presented and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY. • - The Speaker took the chair at twelve o'clock. -- - errtiliTT C01t019101115 The house was eu,gaged in committee for some time on this bill. A division took place on the 11th clause, which provided that the coroner's court should be an open one. Mr. Po u LTER moved as an amendment that the court should be closed at the discretion of the coroner and 4 majority of the jury. For the amendment ..44 Against it 37 Majority fur the amendment.... 7 • The bottle then resumed. The Speaker resumed the chair at fire o'clock. cotoNst. LINDSAY. r. Ikon presented two petitions froth the county of rife praying that the appointment of Colonel Lindsay to the Colouelcy of the Fifeshirc militia might be cancelled. _ Mr. F. M AULE said the appointment in question, although not altogether pleasing to ministers, was part of the prerogative of the crown, as exercised by the Lord-Lieutenant, and could not without considerable difficulty be disturbed. CORPORATION OF TANWORTII. Sir R. PEEL said he had been desired by the corporation of Taniwerth ; the borough which he had the honour to represent, and holding as he did the situation of high steward in that cor poration, to present a petition to the house, praying that the provisions of the bill which the noble lord (Russell) had brought in might not be extended to that corporation. If it had been charged with any abuse, or if there had been a general desire expressed on behalf of the inhabitants to have a change made in the constitution of that corpuiation, he should have felt more hesitation in presenting the petition. But the most honourable testimony having been borne by the commissioners who con ducted the examination into the affairs of that corporation, with respect to the conduct of the corporate body, he hoped the noble lord would not object to except the town of Tamworth from the provisions of the bill. The corporation of the town was not so considerable as to justify the application of the bill to it; and there were other towns which also sent representatives to par liament, having corporations, to which the bill did not apply. He begged leave to call the attention of the house to a short extract from the report of the commissioners with respect to the corporation of Tamworth, and then he would appeal with con fidence to any man whether it was possible to have received , more honourable testimouv as to their complete integrity of character and . conduct. The right honourable barouet then read the following extract:—" From the description which has been given of the constitution, it is obvious that the , roverning body is wholly self-elected. It does not appear, however, that the power thiisvested in the body has been in any respect abused. The vacancies which 'have occurred from time to time have been filled pp from among the most respectable inhabitants without reference to party or to political opinions. Neither dues it appear that the corporation, either as regards the appointment of members of the body corporate, or the exer cise of the elective franchise, have been subject to the operation of any undue local influence. It appears that the magisterial duties have been discharged with intelligence and integrity. The circumstance of the town-clerk, a gentleman of intelligence and professional experience, instead of being merely the legal adviser of the magistrates, being himself a magistrate, and thereby sharing the responsibility of the magisterial acts, ap pears to have b een attended with beneficial effects. The corpo ration afforded every facility to this investigation; they gave notice to the inhabitants of the holding of the inquiry, but no complaints were preferred, or matters suggested for investiga tion. The absence of all complaint, together with the evidence laid before toe, leads me to couclude that the objects of munici pal government have been satisfactorily attained in . this bo rough ; that the governing body have been judiciously selected, well administered, and the revenues carefully applied to public purposes." (Cheers.) Ile submitted that, if every other cor poration had received the saute well-merited eulogiutn, there would have been no need for the introduction of the noble bird's bill. (Hear, hear.) This was a matter in which he had no personal interest whatever; but he could not help stating, that he did not believe either the cause of good government or the satisfaction of the inhabitants generally would be promoted by any change in that corporation, if unfortunately it should be applied to it. Had the corporation been possessed of lane re venues, there might have been a reason for change, which would countervail any disinclination on the part of the inhabitants, but he really did not see, as the matter was, that any public object would be answered by it. The corporation was free from all imaginary imputation. Party feeling undoubtedly hail run high, and there had been "several'severe contests, but they never had allowed themselves to be influenced by electioneering or party considerations. (Hear.) Ile was afraid they were now about to introduce a new element into the constitution of the governing body, which was not likely to work so satisfactorily as the noble lord seemed to anticipate. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the festivities of this corporation, he might also state, although it had revenues, and was not less hospitable than others, yet the members themselves bad always paid their own expenses, without at all interfering with the borough. funds. Under these circumstances he did hope that the noble lord would exclude Tainworth from the operation of the bill. At the same dine, if its provisions were to be extended to towns similarly situated, it was not probable that his motion for a par ticular exception in favour of the borough of 'ramworth would be attended with success. Lord J. RUSSELL was quite ready to admit the remarkable and botiourable testimony which had bean borne to the corpora tion of Taniworth by the commissioners in their report; and, if it had been general in faVour of the corporations, there would have been no necessity at all for introducing the present bill; but as the measure was general in its nature, while there was no re4sou to app rehend any evil to result from its introduction in the particular instance alluded to, it would be iucousistent with its leading policy to make individual exceptions. HUSH CH CRCII. Lord Moiteerit brought upend laid on the table of the house a bill for the better regulation of ecclesiastical - revenues, and for the moral and religious education of the people of Ireland, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. Sir R. Peer. then rose and said, I wish to take this public op portunity of stating the course which I intend to pursue with respect' to this bill. It comprehends some enactments in the general policy of which i concur; it comprehends others to which I feel the most decided objection, iu point of principle. (Cheers.). I concur in the policy of making some new arrange meta with respect to the collection of tithe in Ireland; I con cur in the policy of substituting for the payment of tithe in kind, and also for composition for tithe, a rent charge, as pro vided in one part of the noble lord's bill. I disagree as to wak ing that rent perpetual. I disagree as to the omission of con version and redemption of the rent charge, and its conversion into land. (Hear, hear.) But at the same time, in the present state of Ireland, and with my strong feeling of the policy of making some immediate arrangement in respect to the collec tion of tithe, I have, notwithstanding the decided objection which I feel to other parts of the bill, a difficulty in giving a vote on the second reading, the effect of which, if successful, would probably be to preclude that arrangement with respect to the substitution of a rent charge in lieu of tithe, in the general policy of which I concur. (hear, hear.) But I have no hesi tation in saying that my objections to other parts of the bill, particularly the appropriation of ecclesiastical property to other than ecclesiastical purposes (hear) immediately in connexion with the interests of the established church, (renewed cheers,) and my objections to the wholesale suppression of the cure of souls in so many parishes in Ireland, are so strong that I can not consent to purchase the benefit of a substitution for tithes oh those conditions which have been affixed to it by the noble lord. (Loud cheers.) The course therefore which I mean to pursue will be, on the motion for the speaker leaving the chair, in order that ie bill may go into committee, to move an instruc tion to that committee todivide it into two bills. (bear, bear.) I do that for the express purpose of enabling me, with the views I entertain, to concur in that part of the bill to which I am ready to give my consent. (Cheers.) Ide i: also with the ex press and avowed purpose of enabling me, if I can, to reject altogether those portions of it from which I entirely dissent. By taking that course I free myself from the difficulties which, by rejecting this bill, or appearing to reject it altogether on the second reading, would arise in contemplating the present con dition of the Irish clergy, from the mauifestation of any con, structive indisposition to consider fayouraley some arrangement that might afford them some share of that relief to which they are fairly and justly entitled. (Cheers.) If I should succeed in my motion—if the instruction to the committee to divide the bill should be carried, I shall then have the opportunity of giv ing my consent, with any modifications which may be proposed, to that of the bill which I am prepared to support, and at the same time of manifesting my decided objections to those two enactments to which I have referred, namely, another appropri ation of the ecclesiastical revenues and the suppression of the cure of souls in &kJ parishes in Ireland. (Cheers.) The noble lord will therefore see from the course I. intend to adopt, that to the second reading of the bill I shall' offer no opposition, as I shall have an opportunity of fully explainin g my views when I bring forward my proposition, 'and because I have no wish to trouble the house with a double exposition of them. Reserving myself, therefore, till I propose the instruction which 1 now give notice of, I shall not occupy the time of the house with any ob servations on the second reading, but ptubably it will be fur the convenience of the house if the noble lord will now state oh what day he means to propose that the house shall resolve into committee on the bill, in order that all parties may have due notice of the course he intends to pursue. I believe the bill stands for a second reading on Monday next; and although I cannot answer for the course likely to he' taken by.any other member, I should think it extremely improbable that any lengthened debate should arise on that occasion. The noble lord will, I hope, give due public notice, either now or to-morrow, when the debate, on going into committee, is likely to take place. (Hear, hear.) . Lord JOHN RUSSELL expressed his intention of opposing this course, and of insisting that the clauses relative to appropria tion should accompany those relative to tithes. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS RILL. Lord JOHN Russiat said, that in consequence of some al . terationa which had been made in this bill, and the time re quired for altering the schedules, he could not proceed with them, that evening. He therefore moved that the further con . sideration should tie postponed until Tuesday next. • IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. In answer to a question by Mr. Freshtield, the Attorney-ge neral said that he would, if possible, proceed with this bill on Thursday. • MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS AND PROPERTY.. • Mr. C. BULLER wished to draw the attention of the noble lord (Lord John Russell) to the circumstance that several cor porations had lately proceeded to dispose of their property, with a view to defeat the operation of this measure. Mr. CAYLEY had, on a previous occasion, called the noble lord's attention to the subject just mentioned by the hon. mem- . her for Liskeard, and he wished now to ask his noble friend if any of the new clauses would contain provisions with respect to this matter. In corroboration of the disposition of the old corporations to alienate property, he had that morning teceived a letter from Yeovil, in Somersetshire, staling that the corpo ration had lately advertised the whole of the lauded property for sale (hear, hear) property estimated at £25,000; a practice they had never been used to, although they had been in the habit of letting out land on long leases. The letter also stated that parties lately returned from Weymouth to Yeovil had brought tidings of the corporation of that borough haVing al ready sold part of the corporate property there. Surely these cases demanded immediate interference; and he hoped the no ble lord would provide a clause to meet the case, and to render nugatory all bargains of this suspicious character. (Hear.) Lord Jon N RUSSELL.— The accounts I have lately received of this nature have been so numerous, that it will be quite ne cessary to introduce some clause with provisions such as have been suggested by my hon. friend. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CHARLTON then rose to call the attention of the house to something in the shape of a protest which had been tendered to the noble lord opposite, the Secretary of State fur the Home Department, by Mr. Hogg, one of the corporation commis sioners. This document, be understood, had been forwarded .by the learned cominis - sioner, when he found that he differed from his brother commissioners as to the general tenor of their. report. The noble lord opposite admitted that he had received such a protest, but he declined laying it before parliament, on the ground that it was not fit to be laid on the table of that house. To him (Mr. Charlton) that reason was by no means satisfactory, and he could not help regretting that the house was not allowed an opportunity of judging for themselves of the con tents of that document, whatever they were. It was well known that the conclusions drawn by Mr. Hogg,,were completely at-va riance with those arrived at by the other commissioners, and the house were, therefore, left without the evidence taken upon his ciisruit. e must, then, say it was rather hard, when eii -siesresserisielsloi unglits.pees.utne to be favourable had been taken that it was to be suppressed, atitra - ety thing tending to crtmin ate corporations most readily published and given at full length. Ought not the house to have before it the opinions of every one of the commissioners engaged in that momentous inquiry The ATTORNEY-GENERAL interposed to say, that there was no question before the house to which the remarks of the hon. gentleman could be made to apply. The order of the day was then read and postponed to Thurs day. MEETING AT DUNGANNON. Colonel VERNER rose, pursuant to notice, to call the attention of the house to the case of Mr. Harpurand others, against whom informations had been sworn for attending a meeting called by the Lieutenant of the county of Tyrone, at Dungannon, in December last, and for which they had been bound over to take their trial at- the next assizes. In liringing.forward this subject, the hon. member contended that the meeting in question was, if ut all a violation of the processions act, much less so than the procession which attended the present Lord-Lieutenant of Ire land, when he made his public entry into Dublin. He had re ceived a letter on the subject, which, with the permission of the house, he should read, for it put the case in a clear and, as he conceived, an unanswerable point of view:— "As Grand Master of Tyrone, I feel called upon, in conse quence of the interpretation which Lord Melbourne gave to the debate upon Lord Mulgrave's processional entry into Dub !in, to request on behalf of Mr. Harpur, one of your cousti tueuts, and others, members of the Orange Institution, that you will, in your place in parliament, ascertain firms the Home Secretary, (Lord John Russell, 1 believe,) ur from the Attoruesr General for Ireland, whether their interpretation of the act agrees with that of the Prime Minister. "This is of ne slight importance to us, whose- personal liberty and property, to a certain extent, are involved in the ,reply. The late administration, though we were known to be amongst its most zealoui supporters, felt it to be their duty to institute prosecutions against some of us for a breach of the procession act, in attending the call of the Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Tyrone, (of which county, as well as of Armagh, Mr. liar par is a freeholder,) to address the King in support of his pre rogative. The meeting took place upon no anniversary, and was connected with no political event. This prosecution still hangs over them, and they are bound over to stand their trials at the next assizes. You will perceive how strong our case is. We were regularly convened by a lawful authority, while the Dublin assemblage originated with the processionists them selves, without any legal sanction, sinless the letter of the Lord- Lieutenant's State Steward, (I think he styles himselr,) stating the hunt- .at which his excellency would join them, can be reckoned such'. " I beg further to add, that I witnessed the procession, headed" - by Lord ,Mulgrave, into Dublin, which was called a procession of the Trades Union, but which I assert-was one of revolutien, for, independent of standards with the harp without the crown, and Erin go bragh," Repeal of the union,' the cap Of liberty' upon a pole, with the- word 'Liberty ' placed over it, each member carried a long white rod, with the tri-colour floating from its end—cis,, red, white, and green ribauds ; and although , WHE LIVERPOOL SANDARD. the streets were lined with Military, and the police apparently on the alert, some ruffian was permitted to place the tri-colours in the hand of thostatue of King William, on College-green. "As friends and constituents, a slight apology for the trouble we impose upon you would, we know, he accepted, but we feel 1 certain you will readily undertake this matter for the sake of the public, to whom it is of the utmost importance that it should be d.stinctly understood to what party and what occasions the law applies; whether an orange or a purple flais within the act, while a green or a white one is without it? Whether a jury is to be called to investigate the tendency of a protestant fife, while a priest, with his piper behind him, may head a mob un molested ? " There could be no doubt that if a riot had taken place at the Dublin procession, the parties would have been liable to all the penalties of the statute regard,ng processions, and he saw no reason why parties engaged in one !meeting should be prosecuted, and those in the other allowed to escape with impunity. Mr. HUTFIVEN now took notice that there were not 40 members in the house; strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the required number nut being present, the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS-WEINESDAY. The Duke of "Ileum°Nu gave notice that on Monday next he would move the scowl reading, of the bill relative to the charitable loan societies in England and Wales. Some bills were brought uti from the House of Commons, after which their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—WEDNEsoAr. can Low KLEcTioN. The SPEAKER informed the house that he had•received a notice from the Clerk of the Crown in Ireland, stating that a petition had been lodged in that office, coniwaining of the re turn at the last election for the county of Carlow. A day was fixed for taking the petition for consi,teration. CORPORATION REFORM. Captain BERKELEY presented a petition from the freemen of the city of Gloucester, against that clause i❑ the corporation bill which took away their rights as freemen. VOTE BY oat.LoT. Mr. EWART presented a petition from Liverpool, signed by upwards of seven thousand persons, in favour of the vote by ballot. The petitioners stated their fir►n conviction that the reform bill could never effectually be carried into effect unless the vote by ballot was conceded, The hou. member also pre sented a petition against the monopoly in the beer ti ode. BONDING %VARS./11/USES. Mr. WALLACE presented a. petttiou from Greenock com plaining of the treasury ruinute.atfectiug bonding warehouses. TIMIsER nums. Captain PECHELL rose to present a petition of very great ha portance, signed by a numerous body of the merchants and traders as well as strip-owners of the different ports of Sussex. The petitioners stated that they beard with deep regret that a select committee was sitting fur the purpose of assimilating the timber duties upon timber imported from the colonies and the Baltic. They expressed their conviction that any chanve of-the duties which would limit the supply of timber from the colonies, or raise the cost, would operate most injuriously. They stated that, notwithstanding the asseitinu that the colonial timber was inferior in quality to that imported from the Baltic, they were ready to prove that the red pine was alike in quality in all coun tries, and the yellow pine was only to be got in the colonies. The petition was most numerously and respectably signed; and he moved that it be referred to the select committee then sitting on the subject. I'ITHES. Mr. Wicks presented a petition from a person in Gray's Inn, complaining that he bad been obliged to pay an arrear of nine years' tithe., although he had only resided four years in the house he occupied. Captain PEcHELL supported the prayer of the petition, but was sorry that he bad protracted his intention of bringing in a bill till next session. If no one else would do so, he (Captain Pechell) would very shortly give notice of the early introducing a short bill to settle the matter. Mr. Si NcLAIR considered that this house was likely to become a Star Chamber for the prosecution of the clergy. (Laughter.) He protested against these ex-parte complaints against clergy men, arraigning them at the bar of parliament without allowing them an opportunity to rebut them. CORPORATION REFORM—INSULT TO THE not'sg. Mr. DIVETT rose to bring forward a subject to which he begged the particular indulgence of the house. He did not see the hon. member for St. Ives present. Mr. HUME suggested to the hon. member to postpone his motion till the hon. member for St. Ives was in his place. Mr. Div Err saw the hon. member fur St. Ives in the house about half an hour ego, and told him that he would certainly bring the subject before the house at five o'clock. (Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances he conceived that he was not bound to postpone the subject merely because the hon. member for St. Ives did not choose to attend. He would simply confine himself to reading the notice of the lion. member tor St. Ives. Mr. Divett then read the notice, which was as follows :—"'That all prisoners in Newgate, and the other gaols in England and Wales, although possessialification, be, upuu the principle of the bill, entitled indiscriminately to an equal parti cipation in all the franchises, as well magisterial as elective, thereby created; and that to obviate all uncertainty or doubt of the benevolent intention of the bill, and the happy tendency thereof, being, in effect, to render all the higher ranks of his majesty's loyal and respectable subjects subordinate to the lowest, without regard to property or character, a clause be in troduced, in accordance with the same principle, expressly enacting to that effect; and that it may for ever thereafter be well understood that the whole population in the corporate ju risdictions are, in all other relations of life, placed upon a foot ing of perfect equality, agreeably to the natural rights of man ; and also a clause to provide a suitable retreat for the gentry residing withiu these jurisdictions, and who, with a mind and feelings becoming their station, may seek an escape for them selves from the scene of such a revolutionary infliction." He thought that the hon. member ought to apologise for such a notice as this, and he moved in the strongest language possible that this notice be expunged from the journals. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME seconded the motion. He always underatuod that notices were intended to call the attention of members to sub jects of practical, importance. Therefore it was that be joined his hoo, friend in thinking that the notice should be struck out of the journals. The notice was expunged from the jonrsrals of the house. IRISH POOR-LAWS, Sir R. MUSGRAVE moved the second reading of the poor relief (Ireland) CAMBRIDGE INSTALLATION. (Abridged front the correspondence of the Times.) CAMBRIDGE, SUNDAY.—This morning, at a quarter-past eleven, the Chancellor, according to immemorial usage, pro ceeded to the church of Great St. Mary to hear divine service. Nothing could be more unostentatious than his progress from Trinity to church. His fine countenance, full of benevolent ex pression, indicated satisfaction, but not a haughty satisfaction, at the novelty of his situation. He was preceded-by the three esquire bedels in their robes of ceremony, bearing the maces of office. The vice-chancellor walked on the left of the noble marquis, and the Duke of Northumberland, as high-steward, on his right. They were followed by noblemen and gentlemen ; each wearing th e dress to which his collegiate rank, in either of the universities, entitled him. We observed among them the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Devon, Lord Brownlow, Lord Canterbury, Lord Brecknock. Lord Farnborough, Chief 'Justice Tyndal, the Recorder of London, Sir H. Hardinge, Sir Inglis. and Mr. Goulburn. These were succeeded by a con siderable number of doctors, both of law and divinity, heads of houses, fellows, proctors, and tutors. There were very few on the outside of the church, but the inside was filled long before the commencement of service. The procession entered through the door which leads to what is called the throne, and took their seats in the same order in which they arrived. Service being closed, a very impressive sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Bowes. The procession then moved slowly from the church, and re turned to T. inity. Before the congregation separated, a form, always observed upon occasions like the present, was gone through. It consists in reading over the names those by whose munificence colleges have been founded or endowed, or other important services rendered to this ancient and celebrated seat of learning. At two o'clock, the chancellor, attended as he had been in the morning, proc e eded again to St. Mary's, to be present at the evening service. A sermon was preached upon this occasion by the Bishop of Gloucester. A new anthem was performed in the morning, the composition of a candidate fur the degree of bachelor in music. THE SENATE:HOUSE, Mosina v.—lt was very evident at an early hour this morning thatsoine source of unusual excitement was at hand. The number of carriages, horsemen, and foot passengers that were in motion towards the seat of the Earl of Delawarr seemed to tell that the great cause of attraction was there, for to that point the crowd were proceeding with great eagerness. It soon became generally known that the Duke of Wellington was to be conducted in triumph through the town from the seat of the noble earl. • It was, indeed, a triumphant entry ; not graced, it is true, with the spoils. of war, but accom panied at every step with the shouts of exulting gratitude. The noble duke was expected to arrive soon after tune o'clock, and crowds of spectators, along the road, in the streets, and around the Senate-house, were eagerly looking out for his arnval. About ten minutes past nine, a carriage was seen in the distance, and soon after the leading horsemen of the cavalcade were descried. The people, not a mere mob, but persons apparently of great respectability, had taken the horses from his carriage and were drawing film into town. The noble duke remained standing during the- whole time, the Earl of Delawarr being seated at his right hand. Upon reaching the Senate house, where a great number of the gownsmen were in waiting to ob tain admittance. a shout was raised that might have " created a soul under the ribs of death." Guns.liring, bells ringing, num berless handkerchiefs waving from the windows, flags flying from the houses of the most respectable inhabitants announced the arrival of the hero who had been conqueror in a hundred fields, not for his own country alone, but for the civilized world. Long at' er he passed the shouts were distinctly audible, till the cavalcade reached Trinity, from whence the noble duke was to accompany the chancellor to the Senate-house. There could not have been less than from five hundred to seven hundred gentlemen yeomen of the most respectable class, together with many of the most wealthy of the inhabitants of Cambridge were present and mounted on horseback on this occasion. They preceded the can riage of the noble duke, which was followed by a numerous retinue of footmen, mixed with a considerable num beralso on horseback. We now return to the Senate-house, which was not opened for the public until about eleven o'clock. Eight rows of seats, running, four on each•side, along the whole length of the hall, were reserved exclusively fur ladies, as were the far greater part of those in the large gallery erected for the temporary ac commodation of the orchestra and the vocal performers who are to perform in the concerts. Soon after the doors were opened, all these seats were completely filled exclusively with females in plain, but elegant, and, in some cases, costly attire. The area of the hall was as quickly filled to the very entrance with a dense mass of masters of arts, and strangers introduced by them. The upper side gallery on the left of the entrance was reserved exclusively fer under-graduates, and it was filled with the suds denness of a torrent. The opposite gallery was also completely filled, in part by strangers and in part by the members of the university. A scene now commenced of great animation, and of such a nature as would have induced one tts think that not a single whig resided in any one of the. numerous colleges of Cambridge. A seat of state, or throne, was inepared for the chancellor, with his arms richly embroidered placed in the rear of it. The under-graduates, baying taken a moment's breath to recruit themselves from the rush they had just made into the gallery, immediately commenced tfre work of cheering in such unceasing and astounding reduplication as threatened to give no small share of occupation to that portion of the faculty who call themselves aurists. Three cheers were given in rapid suc cession, and without the slightest regard to order or priority, for the Chancellor, the ladies, the King, the Queen, the Duke of Cambridge, Mr. Goulburn, Sir Robert Peel, the Princess Vic toria, the Master of Queen's, the Duke of Wellington. This last was such an effort of the human luugs as may with truth be called wonderful. It seemed as if every man•who joined in it was desirous that he should part u ith life in that one show. •The next cheers were to the memory of Mr. Pitt and for Sir It. Inglis. (Here a voice from the gallery called out, '1 Wait till they comeV and this, with. the entrance otihc viee s ejnincellor at the moment, had the effeit of Obi:lacing ii mothentary calm. The Vice-Chancellor took his seat at the table, and continued there till twelve o'clock, receiving iu the usual manner, and from the proper officer* the certificates of their having complied with the forms required previously to the taking of a degree. This ceremony is called the caper, and, having been finished a few moments before twelve, the proper officers began itinnediatety to open a passage to the platform through the dense mass of graduates and others who filled the area of the hall. The crowd was so great that this WAS effected with some difficulty. The chancellor now appeared at the grand dour of entrance, and moved along the passage, preceded in slow pace by the esquire bedel. He was received with loud cheers, ladies and gentlemen • all standing at the time. Prince George of Cambridge had en tered previously, - With the vice-chancellor, and conversed in the most affable manner with various individuals, ladiei and gen tlemen, who were near him. The chancellor, in his progress up the hall, was followed in succession by the vice-chancellor, Prince Pizzo di Borgo, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Grafton, and the Duke of Wellington. To these suc ceeded the various noblemen, prelates, and gentlemen upon whom degrees were afterwards conferred, and the work of cheer ing again commenced. That for the Duke of Wellington was, distinguished not less for loudness than continuance. Cheers. were then given for the ladies, for Goulburn and Law ( the mem bers for the University), for Lord Eldon, for the Archbishop of Canterbury, and one cheer more for the Duke of Wellington. " Again !" cried a voice in the gallery, and it was repeated with fearful energy. Much decency was shown in these manifesta tions of feeling, and hissing ur groaning occurred in only a few instances. Indeed, as we were informed, there was a grace passed, strictly prohibiting any such proceeding. The hisses and groans were for the radicals, fur Lord John Russell, Lord Morpeth, Lord Brougham, and three groans for O'Connell. The business of the day now properly commenced, not, how ever, till various other rounds of cheering were given for the Duke of Wellington. The degree of master was then conferred, in the usual form, upon the following noblemen, prelates. and gentlemen:—The Marquis of Exeter, the Marquis of Down shire, the Marquis of Northampton, Lord Hardwicke, Lord Brownlow, Lord Amherst, Lord Brecknock, the Earl of Bur lington, the Bishop of Exeter, Lord Abinger, the Bishop of Llandaff, Lord Clive, Lord Lyndhurst, Sir James Graham, Air. Justice James Parke, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir E. Kerrison, Sir Pultenev Malcolm, Sir James Rose, Sir Edward Sugden, Sir Charles Wetherell, the lion. Rice 'Trevor, Lord Prudhoe, Count Pozzo di Borgo, and the Duke of Wellington. As this part of the ceremony is performed in a way that ap proaches nearly to silence, and the cheering was not discon tinued during the performance of it, it was quite impossible, though placed immediately over the chancellor, to hear what was passing. There w e re other noblem e n a nd gewlemeu on the platform upon whom degrees were not conferred upon this occasion, either because they were already graduates or because they did not desire the honour. '1 he public orator then introduced the noblemen and gentle men upon whom degrees had been conferred, who, after taking the required oath, and snaking the accustomed deekaration, re ceived the congratulations of the chancellor. JESUS COLLEGE.-111 the evening, after the ceremonies at the Senate-house were closed, the chancellor, with the high steward, heads of houses and distinguished visitors, dined with the vice chancellor at. Jesus College. A concert was given in the senate house in the evening. 'rues par.—At half-past eleven o'clock the chancellor entered the great door of the Semite-house, preceded by the three esquire bedels of the University, bearing silver wands, in the usual or der. I may take this opportunity of mentioning that Mr. Gun ning, the senior bedel, wore a massive gold chain, which, I un derstand, has been presented to him by the Marquis Camden. The noble chancellor was followed by the Dukes ofCumberland, Wellington, Northumberland, Grafton, Prince Pozzo di Borgo, and most of the other distinguished persons who attended yes terday. It is unnecessary to repeat a list of names which I have already given you ; but I should state, that in addition to the noblemen and gentlemen whom I mentioned before, there were present to-day the Marquis of Londonderry, the Earls of Aber deen, Fitzwilliam, Radnor, and De Grey, Lord Wodehouse, Sir F. Pollock, Sir W. Follett, and Mr. Baron Bolland. The appearance of the chancellor and his distinguished com pany was hailed with loud and prolonged plaudits from every part of the Senate-house. Then commenced vollies of cheers and hisses for a variety of persons and things, such as I mentioned yesterday, and shall again to-day slightly glance at:—" The Chancellor" (loud and enthusiastic cheering, with " one cheer more"); "The Duke of Cumberland" (much cheering); "The Duke of Welling ton" followed next, and that name was received, as it always has been throughout these proceedings, with the warmest tri butes of approbation; "The Vice-Chancellor" (loud cheering); "The Duke of Northumberland" (much cheering) ; " The Ladies" nearly brought down the Senate-house on our heads; "The King" (loud cheers); " Her Majesty the Queen" (en thusiastic cheering); "The Princess victoria" (loud cheer ing); " Prince George of Cambridge" (great cheering); "Sir Robert Peel" elicited such applause as to make me again look up to the roof with anxiety; "Lord Lyndhurst" (much cheer ing); "The Bishops" (loud and continued applause); " His Majesty's Judges," "Lord Londonderry," "Sir E. Sugden," " The bishop of Exeter," " Sit It. Inglis," "The Bishop of Glocester ' "Mr. Goulburn," and "Lord Canterbury," e a ch came in for no scanty share of approbation; " Mr."Pryme" (cheers and • hisses); "The Members for the town" encoun tered a volley of groans. "The Niembers for the University" were hailed with enthusiasm; "The Archbishop of Canter bury" (great applause); " Lord John Russell" and " Lord Morpeth" met the same reception as yesterday, and' were heartilyy , groaned and hissed. " One groan inure for Lord John Russell and his Majesty's Ministers" (great laughter and hissing); " His Majesty's late Ministers" were more fortunate, they were enthusiastically cheered. "The Chancellor of Ox. ford" (thunders of applause); "The Chancellor of Dublin" ( loud cheering); "Three groans for the Members of the town" (the three groans were freely given, and a few supplementary ones); " Dr. Wellington" (loud and long-continued applause) ; "The Marquis of Lansdowne" and " Lord Melbourne" both stood in the same category and were soundly hissed; "The Irish Church" (tremendous cbeeriug); "No church robbery" elicited an unequivocal manifestation of feeling ; " Lord Brougham" (groans.) Dr. Turton, Regius Professor of Divinity k. went through the forms of conferring a degree of doctor in dinissty on Dr. Bowes; three degrees in civil law were conferred by Dr.Geldart, Regius Professor of Civil Laws, and four degrees of doctor in medicine by Dr. Haveland, Regius Professor of Physic. The ladies were greatly amused and interested by the ceremonies ef the ring and salutationof which took place in conferring tlioso degrees. Mr. Whitehead, of St. John's, as soon as order had been re stored, recited his prize poem on the death of the Duke of Gloucester. Our limits preclude us from giving more than the concluding stanzas:— "Calm was the Sabbath's close, the evening bell From tow'r to tow'r had flung its last farewell, _; • And thoughts of sadness, claiming sweet control, Crept with the. hues of sunset o'er the soul. Hark! 'twas the death-hell's voice whose iron tongue Broke the soft spell that o'er my spirit hung : "!'was Glocester's knell! how spreads the mournful tale, Peals from each tow'r, and floats on every gale! The veteran soldier, starting at the sound, Shall catch the tidings as they circle round, And when the tear of honest grief is dried Shall tell of battles fought by Glocester's side, While e'en the children hush their mils , / game, And learn to weep at good Prince William's name. (Applause.) " Alas for Africa! her voice deplores The generous patron of her injur'd shores; Land of the thirst y desert's scorching gleam, Where the gaunt lion guards the scanty stream, The tameless vulture, sovereign uucoiitrolt'd, Reigns on thy purple peaks and headlands bold, And scarce a rustling footstep e'er intrudes On the deep cloister of thy giant woods, Thy trackless wastes of mountain, sand, and sea, Stern Nature's chanced regions, all are free; Free rolls old Niger his unconquer'd waves, But man sinks prostrate, and tbv sons are slaves! Yet shall Sierra's palmy groves declare Who mark'd thy wrongs, and heard thy anguish'd prayer, Bade newborn hopes the captive's task beguile, Till rugged labour learu'd to wear a smile; On yonder shores a living tomb shall stand, Inscrib'd by rescued Afric's grateful hand And Glocester's name be ail but deeni'd Cl se-iink'd, immortal Wilberforce, with thine. "Seize the bold pencil, let the portrait live With all the glow a f'inder's hand could give, And paint in burning colours, bright and free, All that a patriot and a prince should be! Paint the warm heart on noblest aims intent, By courts unsullied and by threats unbent, W here envy's serpent eye can flint no stain, And flattery tries her swell voice in vain, Let learning's walls beneath his smile ascend, And worth neglected find at leugth a friend, Trace but the outline of that princely breast, And weeping England shall supply the rest. (Applause.) "'['here is a grandeur in a nation's tears, When every heart one common burden bears ; 'Tie not the sorrow whose obtrusive glare Bursts in wild grief, or smoulders in despair, 'Tis one majestic gloom that reigns around, Dims every eye, and saddens every suund, A silent surface of unruffled woe That tells the depth of f. tiling hid below. " Such were the tears that generous Atliens shed O'er patriot chiefs and sons untimely dead, As from her gates along the crowded road Weeping she pass'd to valour's last abode; While in the race of glory, sire to son The torch pass'd (inward as his course was done, • Then sank contented with the meed she gave, The sacred honours of a soldier's grave. " So grateful Science o'er the marble weeps Where her loved Granta's good Meecenas sleeps-- Oh, might her tears his silent guerden be, And fall like dews around his memory! Had he but perisli'd when in youth's bright hours W it h blameless step he trod her classic bow'rs, And white she gaz'd a it Ii all a mother's pride The princely flower had languisli'd, droop'd, and died, Yet had she wept, and bade her praises bloom Like funeral garlands o'er his early 'orub; But when he sank as Autumn suns to rest, And years had bound him to her grateful breast, Her's shall be grief more sacred and more deep, Tears such as orphans o'er a parent weep, And the pale Muse to deck his grave unbind The wreath that round her youthful brows he twin'd, While Learning's pious hand enrols his fame By royal Henry's side and Margaret's saintly name. (Applause.! " But who shall clear the gloom from Granta's brow, And which of all her sons shall shield her now? To guard her charter'd rights unshrinking stand, And earn the laurel from her grateful hand ? Ilere to thy feet she turns with beaded knee, And, generous Camden, rests her eyes on thee! (Loud applause, in the midst of which the Chancellor took off his cap and bowed to the company.) " Past is the cloud, and dried the holy tear That England shed around her prince's bier : I'asour'd of Ileav'n, that, like a halcyon's nest, Securely slumbeiest on the Ocean's nest, Where Preedom breathes her incense all around, Like a sweet wild flower in its native ground, Thine are the sons thy treasur'd hearths inspire, In peace all softness, but in light all fire, That met bare-bosom'd on thy heights, La Haye, The cuiress'd might of Gallia's proud array, Sprang to the charge, as wav'd their leader's hand, And worthy prov'd of 'Wellington's command. (Great and continued applause.) And if the sympathies of earth eau move 1:11 , o sacred ardour of a spirit's love; If the pure censer of celestial bliss Hold ought of fondness for a world like this, Is there an orb of all the clusters bright That pour their splendour o'er the vault of night, Whose lovelier gem upon the seangleel sky Outshines his native star in Gloucester's eye, Or charms away one tributary smile l'rern the loved precincts of his own bright isle?" (Applause.) The Cliancelfor, afidresiirig 'Mr. Whytehead, said—“ You have discharged in a most able manner the very diffleidt task JULY Aft; 1824 r. you ,have had to perform ; you 'have Wttiliir6ctibed the peat . misfortune which the University has - 'unstained in the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Glonreeter ; and I h ave gr eat pleasure in presenting you with this prize as a testimony of y o ur exertions." Mr. Jacob hid Smith, scholar of Tiinity, th e n recited a Greek prize ode in Sapphic Verse cu the subject of Delos ; and M r . D rury rec i ted a prize ode in Latin Alcarcs on Belisaritis. These compositions were very well received, but are too long fur insertion. A Greek awl a Latin epigram by Mr. Drury were bath ex tremely clever, and were well delivered and received by the a whence. At the conclusion of the recitations, the installation ode, written by the Rev. C. Wordsworth. Fellow or Trinity College, the music composed by T. A. Wellesley, Mus. Bac., organist of Trinity and St. John's, was performed. The concluding grand chorus gratified the audience so much, that a repetition of it was demanded. Some opposition being raised to this pro position, "..God save the King" was called for, iit which, as a niedius ttcrwiqus, both parties immediately acquiesced; and it was accordingly etuag by the vocalists, Carat on singing the first verse, Se.pio the second, and' Sapiti and Madame Stock hausen the third, the audience jeining loudly in the chorus, and: huzzaing when they came to 101,14 , may he !Tien." The Chancellor then departed amid loud cheers, and the audience left the Senate-house as quick as they could. ,w...~ LIVER THEATRE, HL FRIENDS of Mr. GODFREY, (the gentleman who I appeared at he Theatre-NOV:11, in the characters of - ROMEO and RICHARD III.,) being anxious to give hi m ano th er op portunity of aearitig before the public, have ma d e arrangements fin takiug Pp the LIVER THEATRE, fur this present FRIDAY EVENING, the 10th instant, when he will have the honour of representing SEVERAL OF HIS MOST POPULAFHABACTENS.

Some rather interesting extracts will be found under the proper head. Monday next, we believe, is the day fixed by Lord NIOI2PETII for the second reading of the Irish protestant extirpation bill, or rather the Irish popery encourage ment bill, in the House of Commons. That, we confeis with shame, will not be the first . time, since the whigs came into office, that an attempt has been made to esta blish the idolatrous superstition of the Church of Rome upon the ruins of the blessed institutions founded at the reformation. But all former attempts sink into insigni ficance before this deep laid but daring scheme of fraud and injustice of which poor Lord MORPETII, in an evil hour and for the purposes of faction, became the foster parent. In the struggle to which this momentous bill will giie rise we must be excused if we place Lord MottPErn in the background altogether. He is a nonentity in the contest. He is merely the shadow of the monster robber behind the curtain. He and his colleagues only hold place by the cruel mercy of DANIEL O'CONNELL ; itis the said DANIEL who gives the word of command which Lord MORPETH, Little John, and Friar Tuck are com pelled to obey ; the bill is framed according to the dire-- lions of DANIEL; its levelling provisions are dictated by him ; its concessions are arranged to promote the views of DANIEL and the popish pritsts, whose paid servant and degraded hireling lie is. • If the protestants of England could only be persuaded to look at the measure in its true light, we feel assured that their spirits would revert to nobler and better times —to that ever hallowed period in the history of their country when their fathers trampled the idols of popery underfoot, scourged the traffickers in blood and crime from the precincts of the temple, chased from the bedside of the dying parent the plunderers of the widow and or phan, and restored to the people of these lands the pure faith, the unadulterated precepts, and the cheering con solations of the gospel. Alas the while ! and for a long while, the eyes of the people of England have been half shut to the inroads and the artifices of popery. Like the man with the adder they have said, " Bless the poor harmless thing ! it is benumbed with cold ; it is a beau tiful innocent; let us warm it in our bosom !" They did so—need we tell the result For the last forty Years the Roman catholics of Ireland have been treated by the British nation like a spoiled child. Our ancestors, who knew them better, kept them at a dis tance, and gave them pastures beyond the pale. They often tried to softct, civilize, and conciliate them, but all in vain. Every trust they reposed in them was abused— benevolence essayed her charms without effect—the first fruits of kindness were made bitter—their confidence was betrayed—their alms and their penal relaxations were converted into the auxiliaries of rebellion, ending in cold-blooded massacres of the too confiding protes tants. In short it was sad necessity alone which imposed upon our fathers the unpleasant duty of exclud►ng Ro man catholics, and the Roman catholics of Ireland in particular, from all participation in the legislative and judicial honours of the state. Recently, however, we have given them another For the last fifteen years a sort of spurious liberality has. been the fashion of the day. Men of estimable talents in pursuit of liberality have entirely forgotten principles. Religion was deemed of minor consideration in all ques tions of political expediency. It was held to be expedi ent that the Roman catholics should be conciliated, but the expediency of injuring or undermining the Church of England was never considered. The expediency too was all on one side. We have invariably been called upon to be the surrender...mg...party._ %% were called upon to make a door here and a window there—a loop hole in one place, and a postern-gate in another—all for the benefit of the Roman catholics. We were desired to remove a barrier, cut down a tree, fill up a fosse, erect a mound, for the benefit of the Roman catholic.; and unhappily, like besotted fools, we obeyed. But 18 hat in the name of justice did we ever get in return for all this concession and implicit compliance with the demands of expediency ? It was give, give, on cur side; hut when did we receive a bond, or mortgage, or security, or ac knowledgment of any kind, in return ? When we wele giving power to the Roman catholics, by admitting them to legislate on matters more or less remotely connected with the interests of a protestant state—while we were admitting the subjects of the pope into the British fa— mily—did we ever, upon a principle of reciprocity, exact from his holiness permission to build protestant chapels in the Roman territories ? While we were "creating new worlds," (to quote the fustian of the day,) did we ever claim the right to erect a protestant place of worship in the " worlds" we had created ? No ; our liberal policy' was to give, not take—to surrender, hut not to demand an equivalent—to yield every thing, but to exact nothing in return. Is it any wonder then that we are losing caste among the nations of Europe ? -• The folly of a nation, like the folly of an individual, car ries with it its own sting and its own punishment. We are now beginning to feel the effects of our mistaken li berality. We have levelled the fence, and the .Trish beg gar besets our gates--the Irish wolf preys in our pas tures—the Irish traitor, in a place where he is safe, li bels our country—and the fetid priest, whom we have reared with our alms, tampers with our daughters, claims our charity and turns it against the peace of our families. administers his lying nostrunia' to our vonth, and has even the audacity to attack, with baguing brand and loaded musket, the ministers of mil- ored religion and-
