SUNDAY, APRIL 8.

IMPORTANT EVENT.—Letters have been received
from Corfu, stating that an insurrection had broken
out in the Greek Islands of a most formidable kind,
and ti,r which secret preparations had been making
for a long time. It is understood that the Insur-
gents have been supplied from Odessa with warlike
stores of every description, that numbers of officers
have received Russian passports to pass over to the
Islands, and that considerable treasure has been
amassed to forward the attempt. There is no doubt
but that the Greeks act in concert with Russia, and
that what was foreseen by every able statesman will
speedily be realised. The Emperor Alexander will
make the emancipation of the Greeks the pretext for
an attack upon Constantinople ; and it is most

batik that this was to he his epiralent tin acqui-
escing in the subjugation of Italy by Austria. Here
then, if this news, which is communicated to us by
letters of high authority, we have the commence-
ment of a war in which we cannot fail to be
involved, unless we are willing to submit to the
unbridled ambition of these Despots, and quietly see
the Turkish dominions, the lonian Islands, Malta,
Italy, and Sicily, delivered over to them.

THE Catholic Bill (the two having been incorpo-
rated into one) has passed the House of Commons,
and been introduced to the Lords by Sir John
Newport, who (in the regretted absence of Mr.
Plunkett, by whom it was brought in) has gained
credit with all parties by the efficient and gentlemanly
manner in which he has conducted its progress.—
As we anticipated lust week, the Lord Chancellor
and Lord Liverpool each discharged his artillery
of opposition to this Bill, and we have no doubt
will redeem the promise they gave of opposing
it in every stage, and however it may be modified
—but is the House of Lords—the inherent branch
of our legislature—to be ruled by the dictum
of intolerance, pronounced by two men, in opposition
to justice, honour, honesty, and gratitude. We do not
mean to impugn the motives of these lords—we
doubt not they act from the most conscientious feel-
ing, but we do know that the view they take of the
measure is founded in bigotry and narrowness, and

we trust,fervently trust we shall see them defeated—
we are not yet without hope of seeing that time,
when a man may be allowed to serve his country,
without any stipulations whatever on the score of
his religious creed—whether he address his hymn
of gratitude to the east or to the west, and we
would impress upon our readers, and the country at
large the applicability on this subject of the divine

interrogatory--" Who has made thee a judge between
him and me ?" Lord Castlereagh appears deterinin-
ed not to be too popular—his honest endeavours on
the Catholic Bills gave rise, perhaps, to a fear that
he might be esteemed by the country (a fear we
sincerely believe to be entirely unfounded), and he
therefore mustered all his forces to oppose the repeal
of the New Malt Tax, for the abolition of which a
majority of the House had declared a necessity, and
for the continuance of which not one honest reason
can be assigned. Nevertheless, and we speak it
with deference to the House of Commons, that
honourable House, acting, en Giroudle, threw out
the Bill on its second reading, which they had
declared desirable, necessary, and just, on a prior
evening—how long the House may remain as it is
we know not, but while its 'notes are opposed
to the ardent wishes of the People, it certainly
appears to us an anomaly to call its Members the
' " Representatives of the Commons of England."—
To allude to any one speech in support of the
Bill may seem partial, but its excellence demands
that we call our readers attention to the second
speech of Mr. COKE upon the subject.
The Game Laws have given rise to an animated
debate in the House of Commons—the aristocratical
part of the community laud these disgraces to our
statute-book, because they " draw a line of distinc-
tion between the upper and lower classes," as if a
merchant, with an income of ten or twenty thousands
per annum, had not as good a relish, and us good a
claim to a hare, a partridge, or a pheasant, as a man
possessed of land enough, not to keep, but to starve,
his family upon. The motion for the repeal of the
Agricultural Horse Tax, it will be seen, has been
withdrawn, on an understanding that the recom-
mendation of the Agricultural Committee, now
sitting, if it go to that point, shall be acceded to.

We received a Hamburgh mail yesterday morning,
from which the following are extracts :
CssiEt, March Y4,—We know here no founda-
tion whatever for the report
,which we find in the
tletnhurgh Corre.spmdcalcir, of territorial acquisiti-
ons, likely to be made by the Kingdom of Hanover,
in the County of Schaumburg, in consequence of.
the death of the late Elector of Hesse.

SToetcitoos, March 20 —A reasonable proposal
having been made to alter the mode hitherto adopted,
for calculating the amount of the import duty on
forei,n w.ad, his Majesty has decided that the duties
shal(henceforward be estimated according to the
vajue of the article.
Bygger still refuses to confirm his statements by
evideace.
By the latest accounts from the town of Gefle,
the province of Gefltikland, we learn that the
wolves have devoured several children in the neigh-
bourhood. A girl nineteen years of age has also
been a victim to these ravenous creatures.
The King.has given 8,000 dollars from his privy
purse, fur the sufferers by the fire at Wimmerby.
It is positively affirmed that the application made
by the Ex King of Sweden to tlic; Norwegian diet,
to obtain the rights of a citizen in Norway, is to be
considered as having never existed.
COPENHAGEN, March 27.—The shares of the
Asiatic company 4,800 in number, are for 400 dol.
lan specie each
In the general meeting, on the 15th January,
the directors were also authorised by the proprietors
to take suitable steps ter the recovery of 500,000
dollars, which sum was lust by the occupation of
Serampore by the English, in 1808. The recovery
of this last sum is considered as in some measure
uncertain, notwithstanding the solemn declaration
of Lord Minto that all private property should be
respected.
Three persons lately deceased, have left in the
whole a capital of about two millions, which, if
the amount of Bank-notes in circulation is taken at
twenty-five millions, makes one-twelfth of the whole
circulating medium of the kingdom.
By recent lettters from France we learn, that
a squadron is assembled at Toulon, composed of
French, Neapolitan, Netherland, and Russian ves-
sels. Two Russian frigates have already arrived,
the Neva and Commerce de Paris; they are put
under the orders of the French commander.

The funds it seems non to be pretty well ascer-
tained that it is a Bull account ut the Stock Ex.
change, and the funds arc consequently heavy.—
Consols for money having declined to 71i, and for
the account to 72, The efforts of the Jews to rally
have proved unsuccessful ; and the sanguine ex.
pectations that amsols for account would reach 74i,
have not been realized as yet, nor is there any good
reason to suppose they will reach that quotation
this month. At the present the consols are 71i for
money and 72 for the account.

An interesting Publication has fallen into our
hands, which has afiiaded us much pleasure. There
is just published by a Gentleman of talent, a Me-
moir of Sir FRANCIS COLOMBINE DANIEL, M.D.
Inventor of the Life Preserver, and Institutor of the
Masonic Charity, which has provided for near a
Thousand Boys. It is accompanied with an elegant
Portrait, engraved by Roberts, from an original and
highly finished painting, by Daniel Orme, Esq. in
which is pourtrayed one of the Masonic Charity
Buys, the Life Preserver, and other appropriate
Ensignia. It gives a detail of Sir Francis's various
pursuits, with original Anecdotes, and his connection
with the Medical Board, as well as the Masonic, and
other Charities. We find among his horses, he
possessed the celebrated Phenomena, trotting mare,
whose pedigree of which is here faithfully recorded.
This production is from an acquaintance of up-
wards of 20 years with Sir Francis, to whom the
author was introduced by the late Admiral Sir Wm.
Douglas; and the Work is concluded with the fol.
lowing just reflection—
" The subject of this Memoir has not through life
confined his talent in a napkin; and should any in-
dividual be inclined to criticise with a jaundiced eye,
it will only be necessary to say as a reproof —" 00
AND DO THOU LIKEWISE."

The above Memoir is published at Earle's Li.
brary, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall ; and sold by
Asperne, Cymbal ; Muggerialge, Borough; I larvey,
Blackfriars-road ; Watson, Wapping; and by all
respectable Buoksellers.—Price 2s.

A few evenings back George's Isleworth short
coach was overturned at Hammersmith, in conse•
(pence of one of the wheels coining off, owing it is
supposed, to the linch-pin having been taken out.
Mrs. Turner, of Isleworth, one of the passengers,
was unhappily killed on the spot; her husband had
his collar bone dislocated; two other passengers
were severely wounded, -and the coachman had his
jaw beaten in, and was otherwise much hurt.)

'This decrease in the Quarter of ,e 23.5,051 is very
serious. I n the Excise there is a very great fidlitig
off, as from the distressed State of the Times there
is a considerable diminution in the consumption of
exciseable articles. In the Assessed Tuxes also
there is a deficiency compared with the corresponding
quarter last year, and the diminution next year will
be greater, as people are scarcely able to pay their
Rent, much less the Taxes.

A Flanders mail brings a report, that the French
Government means to form an army of observation,
of 30,000 or 40,000 men men, in the South of
France.—The revolution of Piedmont, and the
simultaneous disturbances in Grenoble and Lyons,
are assigned as the cause• Marshal Victor, Duke
of &Rune, is to have the command, with very ex-
tensive powers. It is probable, however, that the
change which has taken place in Piedmont, together
with the success of the Austrians in Naples, will
render the formation of so large a force unnecessary.
The mail brings no other news.
A letter fron► Vienna ►lated the 16th, says--
We learn front Passau, under the date of the 3d.
that a secret association has been discovered there
a►nong the workmen of the different trades, who
meet regularly among the tombs of the Old Capu-
chin Convent. About thirty of them have been
arrested ; and' front their examination, it appears
that they had gone so far as to form a kind of secret
fraternity, by which they were pledged by mutual
defence to the last extremity, everywhere and under
all circumstances. They were bound by an oath,
in the taking of which they drank out of a skull.
Some of them had daggers, and they called them-
selves the Black Brothers.

The Madrid papers of the 16th contain a report
from the Minister for Foreign Affairs to t:►e Cortes.
The ratification of the treaty with the United
States for the cession of the Floridas is announced,
and Spain is stated to be ut peace with the Barbary
States ; but the principal part of the report relates
to the affairs of Naples. Explanations arc stated to
have taken place between the Cabinet of Madrid
and the Allied Powers, which, though not yet ter.
minated, have already produced, on the part of
some of the Cabinets, the positive assurance that
they do not mean to disturb Spain, nor to interkre
in any way in her domestic affairs.
Extract of a letter from the Dominica Chronicle,
Feb. 11 :—" The ship Kale, of London, Captain
'fudge, on her return from Berbice to Halifax, was
scuttled at sea by the crew, who had forced the
Captain, some time before, to leave the ship in a
boat, with very little provisions and no compass, at
a great distance from land. They also put in the
boat his wife and two children, one two and the
other four years old, a passenger of the name of
Meredith, and a coloured boy, who acted as steward.
This happened about eight o'clock a.m. It is pro-
bable they must have perished that day or night.—
Eight of the crew arc here on trial ; the landed
near the Mole, and had taken and divided among
them two chests of money, which were put on hoard
at Berbice, in return for the cargo of provisions she
had brought from Halifax, and shipped there by the
house of Belche and Co."

The manufacturers in Manchester arc obtaining
good prices for their goods, and stocks (of muslins
particularly) have seldom been lower than they arc
at present ; which is of more importance, as it
affects a great number of individuals, that weavers'
wages continue occasionally to receive small addi-
tions. Cambrics, which three weeks ago could be
bought at 15s. 6tl. were sold last Tuesday (the 27th
ult.) at 16s. This is the price the same article
brought last- Spring; but we have been so accus-
tomed to see a constant and gradual depreciation of
the valne of goods, that we cannot but consider it
as a sign of grwter prosperity when an article is
kept up to a stationary price.
On Friday morning Mr. S. L. N. a gentleman
well known in the sporting world, shut himself
through the head in his dressing room, and expired

The great Steeple Chace.--The sporting match
between Captain Manton and Mr. Malpas, for 20(
guineas, took place on Thursday morning from
Mount Sorrel House, Surrey, to Finley Cover, a dis-
tance of 11 miles of difficult country. To make the
nearest way there were many perilous leaps 'which
the horses cleared with their riders in fine style, and
left the greater part of a field of sportsmen who ac-
companied them. The competitors kept together to
the Botley ('over, when they separated and skirted
it ut opposite angles, and at the ridge of hills, three
miles from Frimley, the race became interesting.
It was neck or nothing down the hills, with leaps
nearly six feet. But the most interesting part was
the leeip at a rivulet of f 4 feet, which might have
been avoided by biking a mute of a quarter of a
mile Both horses cleared it in gallant style, and
he race came to the speed of the hors.'s up the bill,
o the Cover, and Captain Manton won it by 200
yards in 31. minutes

it is confidently reported in the well-informed
political circles, that a note has been sent to the
British Minister at the Court of Russia to be pre-
sented to the Emperor Alcxandet, nut only remon-
strating, but actually protesting against a Russian
fleet entering the Mediterranean by the Dardanelles,
for the purpose, as was alleged, of assisting in the
common cause against the recent revolutions which
have taken place in the South of Europe. A copy
of this note was also presented by Lord Castlereagh
tc Count Lievcn. The Ottoman Porte has also, it
is said, protested against a Russian fleet passing the
Dardanelles.

A few evenings ago there were about thirty poor
industrioas people precipitated into the cellar of a
house in SWallow-street, by the lulling of the floor.
The fbrtunntely fell in a slanting direction, which
probably prevented iminy of them from being killed.
kilicd, Several were severely hurt, and a subs..rip-
tion was entered into for their relict: They met
for the purpose of of raffling to purchase a mangle
fur a young couple with two children. They were
regaling themselves with beer, when the floor sud-
denly gave way, without any previous notice, and
they fell a great height, and were covered with the
furniture and rubbish. They were saved from suf-
focation by the prompt assistance of the neighbours.
Several parts of Staffordshire have lately been vi-
sited with tremendous storms, and in the northern
district more particularly there has been much thun-
der and lightning. Wolstanton church, near the
potteries, was struck by lightning, a short period
before divine service, but no injury was sustained.
The electric fluid entered at the window of the
vestry, and, pasting through the room, in which
several of the Sunday School children were assent-
bled, struck down a young man, who was at the
time in the act of opening the belfry door ; the only
inconvenience he experienced from the shock, of
which he is now quite recovered, was a considerable
numbness in different parts of his body, and one of
his feet was blistered.

Match to run and ride 27 miles in two hours.—
This singular match, made by a gentleman named
Prohatt, for 100 guiueas, was decided on Monday on
the Basingstoke and Andover road, and it al:lin-tied
much sport. Mr. Probatt had backed himself to do
eight miles within the hour on foot, over a two mile
piece of ground, which he accomplished in 56in.
30s. He then mounted a fine blood mare, and did
the remaining distance three minutes within the
hour.

Porter, the Northamptonshire pedestrian, has won
his match for 50 guineas against time, of running
sixteen miles in two hours. He went ten times
round the race course, making 17 miles in one hour
and 56 minutes.

We have the pleasure to inform the Public we
have contracted with the Lords of the Treasury for
a New Scheme of 20.000 Tickets, in which there
will be the greater display of Prizes ever presented
to them. We have to apologize for the extra delay
°fa few days.oect.sioned by the arrangement of a
Plan with the Treasury, by which the Cost of Whole
Tickets is intended to be reduced to 1.1. Guineas
each, Sixteenths to TWENTY SHILLINGS, and
and other h hares in proportion ; in a Day or two
we hope to advertise it at full length, when
Schemes at large may also be had at all the Licensed
Offices as usual.

BOXING.

The match between Edward Granger, the Fara.'
ham, and George (Alan, a West-countryman, took
place on Thursday morning, in a meadow belonging
to Mr. Stevens, at Shottesbrook, on the confines of
the counties of Oxon and Bucks. The men had'
cleared their way to provincial celebrity in many
turns-up, and if not scientific enough to figure in a
London ring, bravery was not wanting in either of
the men. The match was for forty guineas, and
Granger was die favourite at 5 and 6 to 4.

In the fir,t round both were too eager in making play and in•
throwing away blows ; they got to a closiand both went down
without ;

The second round lasted twelve minutes. and tamed the metes
ardour. They hit out at each other until the ring was like a
slaughterhouse, and neither would go d.-awn. They disengaged'
themselves from three different closes, not being awake to the
w weavil system. where die loan of one of Randall's hands would
have beens serviceable. Granger had rather the but of the round,
but lie Was at length dropped by a hit on Adam's apple in dm
throat, which produced many pantomintical gestures.-6 to *on •
Glllan.
3. This was nothing but a fighting round. Several round hits
about the ears melted the wax and produced streams of claret
flow b.uli. Gil au was hit down in one of those Greggson
winter c:. tots.

4,5, and 6, were comparatively tame rounds; but it woe
evident that Granget's fighting was to a attain extent put on one
side by the hit in the throat in the second round, and in this ha.
was thrown d stunning cross buttock.
7. This was a (mine round, all in Gillan's favour, and it finish-
ed by Granger being Hooted again. •
8. Gillen received a heavy chance hit on the left eye, which
stopped out daylight, and he staggered down with it.
9th, and last round, won Gillen the fight in 39 minutes.—
After exchanging counter hits, Granger was thrown upon his
head, and laid several minutes senseless. His friends challenged .4
the winner again for fifty guineas.

DARING BURGLARY.—It has not often been our task
to describe a more daring and atrocious burglary and
robbery than the following:—Mrs. Green, a widow lady
of fortune, extremely aged and inlirm, resides in a cot-
tage orrice at Logletteld-green. For the last 14 or 15
years her only mode of rest has been sitting in an easy
chair. Her domestics are two maid servants and a foot-
man, but or smite time past her It?altit has been so bad,
as to require the attendance alinoat every day and highs'
of her thiugliter, Mrs. Hamilton, and that lady has been
a comtaiit resident in the house. In the dead of the
night betweeti Nlonday and Tuesday last, when Mrs.
ILantilton, assisted by oite of the female servants. was ad-
ministering a medicine to her mother, who was almost
ex) ' g, a man tittered the chamber with a lighted can...,-
tile in one hand, and in the other a brace of pistols. He':
was billowed closely by another, to whoin he haudeetione •
of the pistols, and bid him "do his duty." The seemed
ruffian then advanced to NI rs. H. and levelliantahe -
at her head, swore that he would blow her brains out
if she made the least noise, saying. " Come along and. t

NNW INGTON it 11.1,,..5tr it. W 1 LSO ,11 moved that the
report of the committee be referred to the set •ct vestry bill
committee.
•Mr. 11. SUMNER said, Ord most esti nortlinat y conduct
had token place—that much violence had occurred,regarding
which he al Id snake a communication. to the heire when
the attendance was fuller—and that he pledged himself to
bring the ;natter before the house.
After some scroll, conversation the question was put; the
house was by this time soy lull, there being about 100
members ..resent.
The motion that the report of the committee be ordered
to be referred to the committee uu the N.wingion sett et
vestry bill was then carried.
Mr. HUME then rose. lie brouzht forward what he
vatted the violent coeds( t of the chat. man, ( Mr. le Smutty')
is the commitiee4 that gentleman lia•ing refused to take
the voles of menthol, Mr. Sikes, Mr. Ciiall Mr. G.
• Bennett, &c. who entered the committee-room ;I, ,f‘ Angers
were withdrawing.— He ( Mr. II.) added, that he had been
In touch company at many meeting., both high and low, hut
never befwe had seen such conduct as that of Oat mild
chairman. (Cheers.) The diri • was then called for, but
the chairman threw away the paper of time tellers handed by
the clerk, saying he would not even rend it.—(Hear, bear.)
He brought forward this motion, because the lion. chairman
had failed to redeem his pledge. He concluded with moviug
that the conduct of the chairman had been MIMI indecorum
and disorderly, and loud led to riot and conies' .
The SPEAKER observed, that there must exist minutes
of the proceedings of the cu iiiiii ittee, and would the house
proceed without darts? The charge was of a personal elm-
gluier, and would t..e house proceed without the best
evidence /—( Hear, hear!)
Sir J. MACKIN'fOII said, the criminative charge was of
a most extraordinary nature—and it wars without any in-
struction of the committee. It originated in the threat of
the chairman, the member for Fawley (Mr. Sunnier) to bring
forward a criminal charge against CCllltill members of the
cosoneittee—a most indiscreet pledge or ducat, and one
which originated in the pectihar habits of the limi. meinher's
s temper. He thought it would be for the credit of the house,
as well as the individual, to buffer this business nut to proceed
further.
Mr. H. SUMNER wished to know in what character he
was to proceed, whether as accused or accuser ?
Mr. G. BENNETT observed, that there had been beats
on all sides, but he had forgotten them; however, he knew
not what result could take place, because there were 50
gentlemen who had put themselves in a passion; 25 being
uo one side, and 25 being pond-blank tau the other. Would
it be creditable to the house, to have it known, wherever
the English language was read, that 50 gentlemen of the
house of commons hind put themselves in a passion on a
private bill ? (Hear, hear!)
The SPEAKER said it might facilitate the business, to
delay to ascertain the real facts of the case. Ile added that
the individuals who had endeuvoured to vote, atter the
question had been put, had done so improperly. The doors
ought to be locked before the question was put; but if that
did trot take place, the introduction of fresh members utter
the question had been put could nut be justified.
The SPEAKER then very promptly called on the next
member, Sir E. Harvey, who had some business before the
house; and the matter was then got rid of, amidst the
ehemitigi of the house, sod must of the members imme-
diately leaving their seats.
A message from the Lords required the attendance on theitr
Lordships of Sir M. M. Lopez, in order to his helot eta•
mined on the Granipoimd bill before a committee of their
Lordships.
Mr. R. MARTIN moved the second reading of the Irish
Coroners' Bill. Agreed to, and ordered to be committed
on Mouday.
Mr. LITTLETON moved the second reading of the
Church Briefs Bill.
Mr. CURWEN approved of all parts of the Bill—except
those which went to impose charges on the churchwardicus
and the poor-rates. lie hoped they would be amended.
Mr. LITTLETON observed, that as the objections that
bad been made, they could be considered in a commit-
tee. He did not want to make it imperative on church.'
wardens to go from door to door. Bill read a second time,
and ordered to be committed on Friday next.
Mr. D. GILBERT moved the second reading of the Bill
for consolidating the turnpike roads' trusts' acts. He ad-
verted to the COX" iu otber countries, where the governments
Lad taken the management of the roads into their own hands;
there the leading roads were magnificent, but the smaller
arms were not attended to. Private laws might have their
uses, but, like human productions. they had their defects ;
and therefore he considered this bill would be useful. Ile
hoped they would sutler the Bill to be read at second time,
and then the 11l ill ute arrangemente could be more propel!)
considered in u committee. The roads within ICII miles of

London were not what they ought to he, examples to the
rest of the empire ; but he did not want to extend the bill to
E 9649/ for he understood the roads were good there. Under
all the circumstances he trusted that there would be uo ob-
jection to his motion, that the bill be now read a second
time.

Sir C. K NATCHBULL opposed the Bill. He contended
that it was unnecessary. He hoped that the Bill would be
withdrawn; but if it were persevered in, lie must move
that it be read this day six mouths.
Mr. DLNISON concurred in what had fallen from the
hon. hurt. The hill was hot called for by the state of the
roads; and it cast it stigma on those who had conducted
themselves in their trusts. The individual who was to be
promoted was now the servant of the trustees; it would he
to make the servant the master of his emplu)ers.
Mr. CUR WEN also opposed the bill. It went to esta-
blish • very dangerous precedent, by a must mischievous
interference with the property of pi irate individuals;
and as to Mr. hl'Adatu, lie had already been amply te-
warded.

Mr. F. LEWIS said lie should be sorry if the bill welt:
disposed of in so st ttttt tasty a way ; but he thought that the
bill required considerable modifications:
After some further discussion, the house divided on the
question, and the bill was carried by a division of 83 to 16.
ARMY ESTIMATES.—The further consideration of the
Arn.y Lstiniates was then brought forward. On the ques-
tion, the Speaker du leave the chair,
Mr. CREEVEY pi uposed, as an amendment, a strong
resolution, adverting to the Milliner in which ministers
conducted affairs—to the expenditure--811(1 to the dis-
missal of Lord Fite, fur the vote which he bail deemed it
his duty to give in that house, on the new malt duty re-
