" South-street, 7th March, 1837.
DEAR send you my subscription to the monuments
intended to be erected to the memory of five persons who were
the victims of an iniquitous sentence ►n Scotland, in 1793. I
do so because it seems to me an unexceptionable method, and
a fit opportunity of recording the disgust and abhorrence which
I have always felt at those proceedings, and at the expedient
of transporting men among common felons for political offences,'
which, as Mr. Fox justly observes, was then for the first time
invented.

" If such perversion of law, or such harsh and vindictive ex—
ercise of its powers, must remain, and I fear they must, a stain
upon our annals, it is surely right that the feelings of indigna-
tion they excited in well regulated minds, and which have been
confirmed by deliberate reflection, should also be perpetuated.
Such I conceive to be the object, such I hope will be the
effect of the monuments you propose, and I therefore feel plea-
sure in offering my contribution to the plan.
" The moment seems fortunately chosen; the Legislature
is actually employed, on this very day, in repealing the bar-
barous punishment for leasing-making, which was so harshly
inflicted on these unfortunate men, and the country is every
clay enjoying, in the labours of Parliament, and the improve-
ment of its laws, the benefit of that Reform which they were
persecuted for recommending and promoting.
" I am, Sir, with great regard,
" Your obedient and obliged,
(Signed) " VASSAL HOLLAND.

iords Brougham and Lyndhurst, by their -unremit-
ting attention to judicial duties, wherever their -labours are
available, evidently evince a disposition not to receive their
pensions as retired Chancellors, for doing_ nothing.
Most of the members of the Committee of the
Drury-lane Theatrical Fund have attended the Fund-office
every day during the past week, with the praiseworthy anxiety
of doing all within their power to render the Festival on
Wednesday next "a feast of reason and a flow of soul." Mu-
nificent contributions have flown in from the following distin-
guished patrons :—The Duke of Bedford, Lord Francis
Egerton, the Earl of Coventry, Lord Tenterden, Sir Geortge
Rose, Sir Frederic Roe, General Phipps, W. J. Denison,
Esq., Wm. Harrison, Esq., Hugh Barton, Esq., H. Hugh
Hoare, Esq., &c. Mrs. \Vaylett, Miss Romer, and Miss E.
Honner have kindly consented to display their fascinating
notes from the ladies' gallery ; and the vocal strength of the
entertainment will boast of the names of Braham, Balk, Sin- •
clair, Bedford, Bland, Fitzwilliam, Giubelci, Hawes, Henry,
S. Jones, Nelson, H. Phillips, Robinson, Seguin, and a num-
ber of the principal artistes from the Italian Opera House,

direction of Mr. T. Cooke. The master and treasurer (M r.
Harley) will as usual deliver an address upon the merits e.nd
advantages of the charity ; and Mr. Edwin Forrest, ha'iing
become a vice-president, will, it is expected, address the com-
pany in the course of the evening, in acknowledgment foe the
bast—" Prosperity to the American Stage." Mr. D•
Rice, the real " Jim Crow," has also volunteered his se.riices.

had not been long here, when the Consul received a letter
advising him that the vessel in question had been taken from
Rye against the will of the owner, and begging she might be
detained. The consul found her out although the words North
Star were obscured by that of Rover, and ordered her deten-

it being asserted that some money had been obtained on it..

FATAL ACCIDENT TO MR. CLARKSON, TOS
THAMES POLICE MAGISTRATE.—We have the melancholy task
of announcing the death of Thomas Clarkson, Esq., Barrister-
at-Law, and one of the Magistrates of the Thames Police'
which occurred under very dreadful and melancholy circunl;
stances, on Thursday night. He had been at Brentwocu
during the day, hunting with Lord Pctre's hounds, and was re-
turning home in a pony chaise belonging to his brother-in-la
_:j
when the horse took fright in Coppice-row, Clerkenwell,
started off at full speed. He attempted in vain to stop the
horse, which fell down in Ray-street ; and the unfortunate'
gentleman was pitched out of the chaise, and fell on his head

HAMBURGH, FEB. 28, 1837.
ALL those who may have to write to us are re-
quested to be particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, IN HAMBURGH ;
but neither the denomination BANKERS, or LOTTERY CON-
TRACTORS, or MERCHANTS, nor any other, is required on
the Address ; and Letters directed
HEINE BROTHERS, IN HAMBURGH,
Without any further remarks or description, will do for any Branch
of our multifarious Business. We beg further to observe, that a
Letter with one enclosure doubles the postage only, but several en-
closures would by far increase the same; thus 25/. 50/, or 100/.,
for instance, if remitted in one Bank of England Note would only
uuse double postage ; but 201. remitted in two Ten-pound Notes,
Four Five-pound Notes, would be liable to a much higher
ellarge. It is, therefore, most advisable for those having to remit
?Insley to Hamburgh to forward the amount, whenever possible,
111 One Note, or One- Check, or one Bank Post Bill, &c. &c. The
Tale is advisable on receiving Money from Hamburgh. Of course,
rg sums, amounting to some or many thousands may rather be
remitted in Bills of Exchange.
?All those havinft to ive any Order for such Branches of our
usiness as must'be executed early ins MARCH are requcsted to
()se no time in forwarding the same.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1837.

In the House of Lords on Friday, the presentation of
Petitions on the subject of the Church-rates Bill led to
tome conversational skirmishing. The Earl of RADNOR
Uh\Veiled the practical process by which Petitions against
the Abolition of Church-rates were got up :—the Peti-
tions were composed and printed in London, and then sent
down into the country, with an earnest episcopal request,
that names might be subscribed to them !
The Bishop of LONDON had previously conveyed to
their Lordships the following somewhat extraordinary, and,
We believe, before unheard-of intelligence, namely, that
the People were in a state of the greatest alarm, on
account of the proposed removal of Church-rates !—a
qarge which was more ancient than the right to any spe-
ies of property in the country !"
After some other petitions, and the Report of the Fac-
:47 'inspectors, had been presented, several Bills were ad-
rancled a stage, and their Lordships then adjourned.
Irk the House of Commons a great number of petitions
"ere presented. ~.
ti •DUNCOMBE introduced his Bill to repeal that por-
aon of:the Reform Act which requires the payment of rates
tad face s in boroughs, as a condition for the exercise of
t.cleetoral right.
W.. RAE gave, notice, that unless an intimation were
';: e,%1 before Easter by Government of an intention to act
ule Report of the Church of Scotland Endowment
nuWirlluission, he would bring the entire question before the
(e.
...3rd G. LENNOX brought forward his motion for the pa-
*'°'ctrnent of a Select Committee to inquire into the pro
,illl°,ticil of the officers of the Royal Marines, with a view of
;%',ing those officers more rapid promotion, and thereby
ei:,'ering them more effective. Considerable discussion
softVed ; the result of which was, the withdrawal of the
no; In, upon the understanding that the Admiralty would
des glect a branch of the service than which none perhaps
1,11 es better, or is worse rewarded.
tini
at he House then went into Committee on the Navy Es-
q. lea
"• The amount, it will be seen, was less than that
tio.a3t "veer. Mr. WOOD having moved the first resolu-
-I)rci for the increased number of men, Lord MAHON
otlllght under the consideration of the House the policy
,15 MA.JESTY'S Government with regard to the affairs
Pro :Vain. A long-protracted discussion ensued :—the
thele,B earpiog at and condemning the course pursued by
ter 113everm ne,nt ; whilst the more enlightened and Li-
-444 Memben vindicated Lord PALMERSTON'S policy,
,o;._Ulaintained that our intervention clearly consisted with.
?i.eal wisdom And justice. Lord MAHON took nothing
3' his motion.
The c
-ufter 4, (mumons .oat on Saturday for a short time, when
Atte ;no presentation of petitions, Mr. HUMS called the
kittition of the noise to the mode of promotion in the
eq navy, and marine forces, with a view to show the in.
t„L which existed, and the injustice alleged to have
ttzhn pliac.e the late Brevet promotions. He desired re-
of If aatiatit granted, would he thought make out a case

wicx explained, and after some remarks on the
euhj eet by the Hon. Member for Middlesex, and Sir G.

iolra_. Sir J. ELLEY asserting that Mr. HUME was not
tro 1• El •en‘.tuallY, of the several returns moved for, the
oca• litetion or some was agreed to, and others were with-
4nd

410 cers of the royal navy, distinguishing those on full

4:rdo of the sacred hooks' we read the following
sne 1---1" And the Priests' custom was that when
1,131;1411111 offered sacrifice, the Priest's servant came
te 'l7 the flesh was seething with a flesh-hook of three
tr , o

cauldron or pot ; all that the flesh-hook
torT3g.lit up are Prie.3t took for himself." This is, un-
tl~bin too true a picture of the servants of
at: .Church in all countries and all ages. When unre-
al, alneti by the civil power, when the ignorance and
evePrerstition of the people peroit, the Clergy, how-
