SUNDAY, JUNE 2.

We see by the debates in the Lords on Thursday
evening, that but little hope can be entertained
that the Catholic Peers' Bill will be allowed to pass
—we always knew, that on the pact of the Chan-
cellor, it would have to contend against bigotry
and dotage—and we regret to perceive, that hts
opinions appear to be extensively espoused. E i!;
said, that his Royal Highness of York, will oppose
the bill in person—if it rested on ability, and his
were the greatest opposed to it, the result could not
be doubtful ;—but in the Lords, as well as the
Commons, a Fool's " No" goes just as a far as a
Philosopher's " Aye".
l'etitions floued so fast into the House of Com-
mons against Mr. Searlett's Poor Removal Bill, that
he declined dividing the House upon it, and the
amendment, " That it be read this day six months,"
(by which it is virtually abandoned) was carried—
this is another contradiction to the assertion, that in
the present unreformed state of the House it is of tae

~r

use to petition—while the public possess, as they
do, much less power over their Representatives
than they ought to have, they still have the power
of bearding them—of shaming them by facing them
boldly and saying, " on such a question you voted
is violation of your word, your honour, and our
interests," and to the most impudent vagabond
among them the knowledge of this certainty is
a 'palling —Mr. Wodehouse will not forget Mr.
Palmer's observations to him at the late Norfolk
County meeting!

STOCK ExettANGE, SATURDAY.—The market
looks rather heavy this morning, owing to the dif-
ferent opinions in regard to the affairs of Turkey ;
by many it is imagined the new Russian Loan will
firnish the means to Alexander to commence hosti-
lities. By letters received this morning from Mar-
seilles, they have accounts there from Smyrna to the
Q9llt April, stating that all was quiet, and that the
Captain Pacha remained before Scio with the fleet.
Consols left off at 791 Money, and 80h for the
Account.

(FOREIGN MARKETS.)

A great demand still prevails for the new Chilian
Bonds, and a great deal of business has been done in
the above Stock this morning. The new Russian
Loan appears heavy, and very little has been done.
Mr. Rothschild has given notice this morning, that
he will advance money to the holders of his Certifi-
cates on the new Prussian Stock at 5 per cent. Re-
port says, that a large amount of the above Stock has
been purchased at Paris, and that a quantity of it is
also going to Holland. This may account for very
little of it coming into the market.

A mail from Constantinople has arrived, with
letters from that city to the 26th of April. They
describe a proceeding, as regards the internal go-
vernment of the northern Turkish provinces, of a
very curious nature, and important also, from its
probable tendency to assist in reconciling the differ-
ences with Russia. It is well known that one of
the difficulties in the way of adjustment has been,
supposing the Turkish troops to be withdrawn from
Walachia aid Moldavia, to whom the future go-
vernment of those provinces should be confided.—
Turkey, in the existing state of public feeling
towards the unfortunate Greeks, objected to the
re-appointment of the Hospodars ; and Rt,ssia, in
reference to the letter or the spirit of all the recent
treaties, could not listen to any proposition for be-
stowing that trust on Turkish Governors. %Vile-
titer prompted or not by either of the principles in
the discussions now carrying on, is not known ; but
it appears by the present letters, that the chief in-
habitants of Jassy and Bucharest had formed them-
selves iuto a deputation to Constantinople, and have
presented a memorial to the Turkish Government,
soliciting, as the most eligible mode of alleviating
the horrors of the state of anarchy into which they
had fallen, the appointment of a provisional admi-
nistration, consisting of natives of Walachia and
Moldavia, from which Turks and Greeks were
equally to be excluded, and to whom the Govern-
ment should be specially confided until the final.
arrangement of the difkrences with Russia. The
Divan, it is added, has listened favourably to this
representation. Eighteen persons are nominated to
conduct the affairs of the provinces above-named;
and as a security for their good conduct, eight per.
suns of equal rank, and forming part of the depu-
tation to Constantinople, are to be retained as hos-
tages. In consequence of this arrangement, the
Porte had issued orders for the evacuation of Wal-
ladtia and Moldavia by their troops; and this order
it is said, was already in part fulfilled. Little
doubt was entertained by the merchants at Constan-
tinople, that the new measures of the Turkish Go-
vernment would lead to peace.
There was a meeting on Friday of the importers of
Barilla, who hold about 6000 tons of this article, in
consequence of the intended reduction in the duty on
salt, and which must be a total loss to them, unless
the import duty be repealed. As it has been im-
ported under the tkith of existing laws, it is just
that the duty on• the quantity now in the country
should be returned to the proprietors , but how far
the duty on the future importations should be re-
pealed, is questionable. The meeting ap 'ointed
respectable deputation to lay their complakts before
the Minister of Finance.

At Swindon market, on Monday last, a respecta-
ble farmer actually sold a sack of wheat to a grocer
for a pound of tea, value 7s. After the bargain
had been agreed cm, the dealer, conceiving he had
the worst of it, wanted to run ; but the farmer in-
sisted on the tea, and the tea he had.

nit; UNITARIAN FUND.
-......-

The Anti yof the Unitarian Ford was celebrated on
Wednesday last In the morning a aern.ot was preached at
the Chapel in Parliament• court, and in the evening a numerous
and highly respectable company, consisting u: nearly 300 gen- ;
tletuen, dined together at the London Tavern. The dinner was
passable—the wine, as usual on such occasions, wan execrably
bad—a policy we can by no means enter into —in the present
instance the ticket included but a pint of wine—very few gen-
tlemen had more, and many did not even drink their allowance,
so that besides injuring the credit of the honse iN Juluro, an
absence of profit was sustained. A Mr. Hstvtoon.,of St. I rep,
Hantingdonshire, took the chair, and after Non Nolsis Dimino
Le gave " The King," after which he introduced at extreme
length the usual toast of " Civil and relijous liberty all over
the world." This was followed by " The Unitarian Fund ;"
after which Mr. Christie, the 'Treasurer, read a statement of the
accounts, and a long list of donations (the latter of which du-
ties re, had to perform several times daring the evening), and
the finance', appeared to give great pleasure to those moat com-
petent to form a correct judgment of them.
Mr. FRED, in the course of an interesting speech, alluded
to a Latin Epistle, lately received try the Society train a mem-
ber of the Unitarian Church of Transylvania, which is nu-
merous and prosperous.
The Chairman then gave, " Dr. Murrell, and thanks to him
for his excellent sermon." This toast was, we thought, rather
inappropriately introduced, by the Chairman's preaching for
nearly twenty minutes on the doctrine of atonement, from
which we were inclined to infer that the Doctor owed an atone-
ment to the congregation of the morning, for having wasted
their time—this inference was however, we are convinced, iu-
correet, for
Dr. MoR ELL rose, and in • fluent and most pleasantly deli-
vered speech, mule hix acknowledgment to the company. He
was grateful, he amid, for the manner in which his health had
been drank—be valued most highly the approhation of the
Unitarian assembly he had the honour to eddresa—he did not
mean to detain them by a long speech, bet there were some
points to which he wished to advert. It had been said that the
Unitarians denied the divinity of the Christian religion, and
in this charge the bigot sod unbeliever were united. When an
Atheist was prosecuted, it was natural that he should endeavour
to attach himself to some body of people, hat ohs the Church-
man, protected by the bulwarks of the law, should join so false,
so uncandid a cry, he could not suppose —in no We of people
was found a more studious attention to the duties of religion—
in none a more anxious care of the esluca'ion of their children;
the fact, and the great crime was, that the Unitarians refused
to acknowledge as the heed of their Church %hurter should
succeed to th.s Crown, however hail lie might be—he alluded,
he said, perhaps to Henry the Eighth—perhaps to the Hero of
the 29th of May. In answer to the charge of their disbelief in
Christ, he need only refer to the present meeting—could it be
supposed that so large a body of so respectable men would
meet there to profess Christianity, if they did not feel it ? They
had hen spoken of as Sectarians—if Sectarianism meant an
open avowal of their views, a manly absence of concealment of
their wishes, then, like the primitive Christians, they might glory
in being called Sectarians--the Unitarians Fund promised to
enable them to aid the weak, and sustain the drooping.—He
begged to apologize for having so Ling occupied their attention,
and concluded by again thankinetnent for the compliment paid
to him.

The Chairman then proposed " Mr. Wright, and oar other
Missionaries ;" but not prolitting by what appeared to us a most
uncourteous attempt on the part of the conyany. prior to the
preceding toast, to curtail him of what he seemed to consider
as his fair right, by continued applause while he was speaking,
SO that scarcely a word was heard—the worthy Chairman
again essayed a sermon, in which, at the commencement, he
stated, that lie became an Unitarian 40 years ago, and appeared
to go into a history of all be had read, or felt, Jr experienced,
during that tune. The "ignorant Impatience" kits Lord Lon-
donderry world call it) of the company, however, rendered him
totally inaudible, and we thought the Chairman received this
proof of their want of taste rather iu dudgeon.
Mr. WittGitr returned thanks, and stated the increasing
success which he had met with during a recent journey on his
Missionary duty.
" Mr. Christie, the Treasurer," who returned thanks, and
announced fresh subscriptions.
" Mr. William Smith, and the New Marriage Act."
Mr. FREND rose, and said, that it was equally a disgrace to
the Established Church to have their form profaned by those
who dissented from it, as it was irksome to those who were
forced to submit to it.
Mr. EDWARD TAYLOR, of Norwich, said, that having been
Sheriff at the time be had the honour of returning Mr. Smith at
the last election, and lie begged to return thanks for him. The
constant attachment lie had sliewn to liberty, and his unwearied
exertions for the abolition of the Slave 'trade, demanded the
thanks of every liberal man, Mr. Smith had generally, if not
always, full-Wed the expectations of his constituents—he was
sometimes wavering in his conduct, but Mr. Taylor believed,
nevertheless, a true friend to liberty, and therefore he should
still have Mr. Taylor's support.
The Chairman then gave, " J. T. Rail, Esq." and " Mr.
14oriihy, the Deputy Treasurer," who each returned thanks.—
lie afterwards annnonnced,
" The Secretary, the Rev. W. J. Fon."
The moment this bast was announced. the room rung with
applause* loud and long continued, and witch clearly bespoke
the anxious interest she company felt fur the ream ery of their
valued Pastor.

Mr. Itur r returned thinks for Lis esteemed and absent
friend, and in the course of his speech he animadverted with
great severity no the conduct of the Common Sergeant on the
late trial of " The Man Unknown."

In proposing the health of " Mr. William Freed," (who re-
turned thanks, ) the Chairman said, he had come up to town on
purpose to preside there that day, and that probably it was the
last time he should have that honour—an anticipation the cow-
pany appeared most sincerely to reciprocate.
The Chairman then gave,
" Mr. Richard Taylor and the Committee,"
Upon whi.k Mr. Richard Taylor rose to return thanks, in
doing which he most ably defended the Common Sergeant from
the censure cast upon him by Mr. Hutt, on the ground that a
Judge is bound to act according to the existing law, however
objectionable ; and that he had given the prisoner a fair trial,
particularly by not allowing his defence to be iuterrnpted, and
a more lenient sentence than others who were sidieritig on the
same account. He regretted that some worthy men were not
for admitting such an extensive liberty of discussion as be con-
tended for, hut their honesty was not on that account to be
questioned ; and he thought that those Christians who disap-
proved of defending Christianity lay persecution had been guilty
of a cowardly neiklect of duty in not coming forward in a body
to protest against it ; especially as at the present crisis of the
world, wheu education and inquiry hare talieu so widelrone

both in this country and abroad, and amongst all classes o
men, whatever presented christianity as an engine of (oppres-
sion, persecution; or tyranny, or as a subject that could not
bear full investigation, would be likely to prejudice mankind
against it, and detach them from it. We regret that the ap-
proach of darkness presented our taking notes of Mr. Tat lira
speech, which we consider as decidedly the best that was de-
delivered during the evening.
When we left the room nearly half the company were re-
mainin4, but there was during the afternoon a degree of dull-
ness which night did not appear to decrease.
We heartily rejoice in the apparent determination to support
the annual meeting of the Unitarians—we du nut belong to
their church—we differ from them on many rsavistird pAnts,
but we are convinced that any thing that creates additional
activity in any one classy on the subject of religion, does ser-
a ice to the cause of the religious community at large—sad van
wish that every denomination would institute atroit trsary
meetings, because by those means we are sure man•. who
have hitherto never thought upon the subject, would be in-
duced to make that most important of all inquiries, '• That
must 1 do to be saved."

Wednesday last having been appointed for the presentation
of the rewards adjudged by this society, a numerous com;.aay
attended at Drury lane Theatre, to witness the ceremony.--
-The pit, boxes, and middle gallery were crowded with mem-
bers and visiters. A band was placed in the eloper gallery ;
and the stage was reserved principally fur the Chairman. the
candidates, stewards, Zl/4e. Soon after IT o'clock, his Royal
Ili.4linesti the Duke of Susie: entered the house, and took the

who presented to them their repective Ariz s with the moel
courteous affability of manner. accompanying the gifts with ap-
propriat% observations, congratulating them upon their pays

Wells, Connecticut, United States, for a new material for lice
plat, in imitation of Leghorn;" and " the gold Vulcan int:lL&

COUNTY oar.—The Sheriff of Lancashire
having determined to hold his Court he adjournment at Man-
chester for the Hundred or Salford, in addition to holding it at
Preston, it opened for the first time on Thursday last.
Ashworth, the Barrister, of Oldham inquest notoriety. who.
with two other barristers, bad entered the Court alter the fitss
trial was over, rose and addressed the Court, and ea the part
of the bar, claimed the exclusive relit to conduct the e IFt
to the exclusion of the attorneys, This claim was resi4te.i b•
the attorneys, one of whom, Mr. Buck, " thought it woubt
he quite as decent, under the circtonstances, if the learned
Counsel had declined attending until their set-ekes had been
requested. The Prelim, Chronicle observes on this We
understand the cases in the County Court have from time tin-
metnorial been conducted by the attorneys, without claim o f
precedence eler having been set up by the bar ; and it ww:!ti
be a matter of deep regret to ua if the claim now brought f.,r-
ward should succeed. The expences of law proceedinzs nre
heavy enough, without bring encumbered with additional fees
to counsel. This is, however, like many of the cases that daily
occur in life. When a public benefit is intended, some pole
interest in set up to prevent it, and the general good is snetir
tired to individual profit. The County Court wan adjourned to
Manchester purposely to spare expenses to the public, anal if
any thing should occur to deprive the suitors of the benefit in-
tended, we shall certainly regret it much.

Past good Fortune, is a fair precedent fi)r future.
