FROIII LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

From the " Dublin Gazette" of Frit'ay, January 25, 1839.
Crown and Hanaper. Office, J.inuary 19, 1839

In pursuance of an Act passed in the fortieth year of the reign of His
late Majesty King George the Third, intituled " An Act to regulate the
mode by which the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Commons,
to serve in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, on the part of Ireland,
shall be summoned and returned to the said Parliament," I do hereby
give notice that the Right Honourable John Viscount De Vesci has been
chosen to be the Peer to sit and vote on the part of Ireland, in the House
of Lords of the United Kingdom, in the room of John Baron Farnham,
deceased. _

day, was never pl iyed off by a Jew retailer of Birming-
ham jewellery. The letter is introduced as if to miti-
gate an apprehension which never existed, except in
the minds of the dullest and stupidest of the earth
but, at the same time, pains are taken, even in
that very letter to insinuate the enormous damage
which the Conservative party must sustain from the
separation between it and the Times upon the Corn-law
'question. It is, for instance, stated that " dividedness may
for some time and to some extent incapacitate them (the
Conservatives) for harmonious co-operation on several im-
portant points." Fiddle-di-dee " Dividedness," indeed !
Not the slightest fear of any such thing, good letter-forger !
SO you may keep your very sincere apprehensions and your
particularly honest crumbs of comfort to yourself. From
the portion of undisguised Times-ism which follows the
letter we have been alluding to,we cannot but concludethat
a vivid consciousness of the hoax he had been playing off
was strong upon the writer's mind, and that he found it
impossible to rid himself of the humour of swaggering
facetiousness. For what do our readers suppose he goes
on to say ? Why, that if he had been wholly silent
upon the Corn-law question, or had taken the opposite side
from that which he formerly advocated, such " utter want
of principle as either of these courses would have exhi-
bited" must have been a monstrously serious thing. Did
ever any half-drunken clown, in any booth, in any fair, ex-
hibit more comically outrageous audacity than this ? The
Times pleading that it cannot take the opposite side from
that which it once advocated, owing to its regard for prin-
ciple ! ! Well done, turncoat tumbler, Times. We are
only surprised that it should not have been 'gravely an-
nounced that the Times, whatever unkind suspicion might
have been attached to its character, was determined to
prove that it was not "a rogue in grain," and therefore
would be consistent upon the Corn-laws.—Morning Post.

CORN-LAWS-ROTHERRAM.

On Tuesday there was a dinner of the Working Classes at
the Ring of Bells in Rotherham, to which Mr. Ebenezer
Elliott, Mr. Willoughby Wood, Colonel Thompson, and
other friends from distant parts, were invited. The first
was absent in consequence of his exertions 'on the preceding
day. At seven o'clock the meeting adjourned to the yard
of the Red Lion Inn, where between two and three thousand
persons were assembled. Cole el Thompson addressed them
from a window of the Inn. He said, he had come there under the
impression that it was a meeting for the same purposes as the
meeting at Sheffield the, day before, and had only learnt
the contrary in the Railway carriage. He trusted, however,
he was able to speak at 'a Universal Suffrage meeting as well
as an Anti-Core-law one; and they should not find
tint he was come to throw any brand of discord into the meet-
ing.—( Cheers.) All he wanted was leave to explain the
reasons which guided him at the Sheffield meeting, and
guard against any charge of inconsistency, which might
otherwise be brought against him. Both Mr. Elliott
and himself would have been most ready to vote for
the amendment yesterday, if they could have found any way of
reconciling it with their long expressed opinions and ex-
pectations, that the Corn-laws were the point on which
the enemies of popular rights were most open to at-
tack. The difference of opinion was merely as to which
end should be begun on first. With this reservation,
everybody knew that there were no more open supporters of
the Extension of the Suffrage to all men of sound mind, than
they.—( Cheers.) He was always ready to avow that the re-
striction of the Suffrage to the rich, was as unreasonable as
if the rich should declare that they could not have the benefit of
a market unless the poor were kept out. —( Cheers.) Property
should be represented, but then it should be everybody's pro-
perty—( Cheers)—and it was only as we approached to this,
that we should approach to a tranquil state. The affairs of
this country were too complicated to give a chance for any
particular class obtaining an object by violence, and conse-
quently there was the less danger of such an attempt being
made. He was closely pressed for time, and must withdraw
with a wish that their conclusions might be directed to the
greatest good. At half-past seven the meeting was left pro- I
seeding;.

ELECTIONS AFTER THE MEETING OF PARLIA-
mENT.—On the first day of the approaching session writs
will be moved for to supply the following vacancies in the re-
presentation :—The Tower Hamlets, Yarmouth, Sandwich,
Cavan County, Bucks County, and Leitrim County. The
above are the positive vacancies; but it is said that Mr. E wart
will obtain the seat for Carlow. to be vacated by the eleva-
tion of W. H. Maule, Esq., to the Exchequer Bench. One
of the seats for Southwark must also be added to the above
unless it shall turn out, as Mr. D. W. Harvey asserts,
that his office of Registrar does not require him to vacate.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Doc STEALlNG.—Yesterday John Johnson, a young mar,
was re- examined before Mr. Codd, the sitting Magistrati,,
upon a charge of stealing a valuable dog, the property of Mr.
Kirsh, a traveller, resident at 'present in Burlington-street,
fiord-street.

Mr. Coop said that after the prisoner's repeatedly following
the dog until it was stolen, and his afterwards offering to get it
restored for 25a., there could be no doubt that he wes con-
cerned in stealing it. He therefore sentenced the prisoner to
pay 255. a.,3 value, and 203. fine, or to be imprisoned one month.
The prisoner was committed in default of payment.
A DESCENDANT OF LORD NELSON.--Mr. CORD announced
in the course of the day that he had received several sums of
money to the amount of 21. 55., for the use of William Webb
Cheeseman, whose case was reported last week in the papers.
That unfortunate person it appeared had a few years since
been master of a large scholastic establishment, but by a series
of misfortunes he, with his wife and child, had fallen into a
state of abject misery.
Last week he came to this office to
complain of a baker, who he said had cheated him out of
the price of a small loaf, and the Magistrate found on ques-
tioning him that he stood in the relation of cousin to the re-
nowned Lord Nelson. Subsequent inquiries made it appear
that unavoidable misfortunes had reduced him to his present
miserable condition, and Mr. Codd, who was acquainted with
some of the Nelson family, satisfied himself, by personal in-
quiry, that the poor applicant's account of his family connec-
tion was correct, and earnestly recommended the case to the
notice of the public.
The Magistrate now handed over to the applicant the let-
ters containing the money. -
The applicant expressed his gratitude for the assistance now
extended to him; but his earnest wish was to be placed in a
condition to earn h is own support ; and if he had friends to
etiable him to reach Australia, he felt confident that he should
succeed there. His wife, however, was averse to going abroad.
Mr. Codd desired him to draw up a short memorial to
Lord Glenelg, the Colonial Secretary, who, he thought, would
assist him in such an object.
The poor fellow then hurried off home with the money
which he had received, and was desired to return on Thursday
to see if anything further had offered.

A letter frrom Valenciennes states that on the 22d
instant a dyke near Crepins had burst, and the whole country
had been in consequence inundated. The toscin was sounded
in several villages as a signal of distress. In the evening a
part of the causeway between Conde and Valenciennes had
Wien in and was covered with the flood.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

THE BIRMINGHAM RAILROAD. —A Gentleman, named Lis-
ter, accompanied by his son, an officer of the 78th Highlanders,
came to ask the advice of Mr. CONANT, the Sitting Magistrate,
in the following matter :
Mr. Lister said that his son came from Scotland to London
a few days ago, performing part of the journey by the Bir-
mingham Railway. When at Birmingham he tendered the
fare to the book-keeper, who, on taking the money, asserted
there was a bad half-sovereign among it. The book-keeper
was told that the circumstance was most unlikely, as Vle piece
of gold, with other money, had been obtained from the Glas-
gow Bank. The cash-taker persisted in saying it was bad,
and then Mr. Lister, jun., after remarking there was not time
to dispute on suet! a point, offered another piece of gold in
exchange. The man took the money, and refused to give up
the alleged bad half-sovereign. The train being ready to
start, Mr. Lister, jun., was obliged to take his place,
.and to
leave without receiving back the coin he at first tendered.
After a short conversation between the parties,
Mr. CONANT said he had no jurisdiction in the matter, as it
had occurred at Birmingham. If the circumstances were pub-
lished it would, perhaps, have the effect of ascertaining whe-
ther any other persons had experienced similar treatment.
The parties thanked the Magistrate and retired.

THE BANISHED, EDItED BY JAS. MORIER,
ESQ.—This is strictly an historical romance ; and though
it will owe its immediate popub,rity to the strange and ro-
mantic nature of the incidents and characters which crowd
its pages, its more permanent value will be derived from
the truth with which they recall the real history of tho
- times to which it relates. " The Banished" is avowedly
modelled on the historical romances of Scott, with this only
difference, that the writer has felt himself called upon ts
adhere more strictly to historical records than our great
Novelist was usually disposed to do, and he has found a
reason and justification for this in the singular career of
his hero, Duke Ulrick of Wurtemburg. The story is re-
lieved by many minor incidents and love passages, and the
whole forms an exciting and vivid picture cf the cirring
times in which the scenes are laid. " The Banished" may
be fairly supposed to have derived much advantage from
the revision of so experienced and successful a writer of
romantic fiction as Mr. Morier.—New Monthly,

CONFERENCE WITH THE LORDS.

Messengers from the House of Lords appeared at the
table, desiring a conference with the Commons on the
Deanery of Exeter Amendment Bill.
Lord Morpetb, Mr. Fox Maule, Lord Stanley, the
Solicitor-General, and other Hon. Members appointed
for the purpose, immediately afterwards left the House.
On their return, Lord JOHN RUSSELL reported
that they bad had a conference with the Lords on the
subject of the Deanery of Exeter Bill.
The Seditious Societies Act Amendment Bill was
read a third time, and passed.
The Purchasers Protection Bill was read a third
time, and passed.
n the Order of the Davy for the third reading of the
Exchequer Bills (13,000,0001.) Bill,
Mr. HUME said he understood that this Bill did not
give the chancellor of the Exchequer power to borrow
any more money, but merely renewed the Exchequer
Bills already in existence. He wished to ask the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer if this were the ease, as misre-
presentations had gone abroad on the subject.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the Hon. Member for Kilkenny bad correctly described
the intention of the Bill, and he could not imagine how
such misrepresentations could have originated.
CANADA.

Sir R. PEEL wished to ask the Noble Lord opposite
whether it was on Wednesday or Friday that he proposed
to take into consideration the message of her Majesty
relating to Canada—he concluded it would be on Fri-
day. He would also ask whether it was the intention

of the Noble Lord merely to move an address to her
Majesty on that day or to introduce a Bill on the subject?
Lord J. RUSSELL said the subject -of Canada
would come on upon Friday, when he should move for
leave to bring in a Bill to connect the two provinces,

Mr. HUME gave notice that he will move to-day for
a Select Committee to inquire into the affairs of the
Bank of England. As there is a prodigious deal of
fraud in the country it might, perhaps, be right to inquire
how far it is promoted by the monopoly of credit which has
been conferred on the Bank, and by which it is enabled
to enrich its proprietary without risk of punishment.

MESSRS. ATTWOOD AND FIELDEN.

Dr. FLETCHER reported from the Committee ap-
pointed to wait on the above gentlemen, whom he had
met. In reply to Dr. Fletcher Mr. Attwood said that
on the responsibility of Mr. Collins stating that he would
give the petition to his hands, that he would give notice
of its presentation this day.—( Hear, hear.) It was even
a loss to the petition that it should be sent to him this
day, as many signatures were yet to be sent from the
country ; no less than 200,000 additional signatures
were received since Saturday morning. In reply to Dr.
Fletcher impressing on him the necessity of a speedy
discussion, he was for a little delay, as it. might add
weight to their cause by seeing Members of Parliament
friendly to the cause. After being again pressed, he
would not consent to name a certain day to bring in the
Bill, but he would do so as soon as possible.—(Hear.)
Mr. O'BRIEN corroborated Dr. Fletcher's statement.
Upon the motion of Mr. O'CONNOR the Order of the
Day was resumed, upon which additional signatures
were handed in by ,Ir. Cleave, Mr. O'Connor, and
Mr. O'Brien. Those by Mr. Cleave were—Clapham,
200, Romford 200, Colchester 300.
TREASURYSHIP.

Mr. LOVETT read a letter from Mr. Rogers, resign-
ing the duties of Treasurer to the Convention, unless
the opinion of the Convention was declared as to what
would be ulterior measures.
Mr. O'CONNOR begged leave that the resignation of
Mr. Rogers be accepted, and that Mr. Moir's name be
inserted in its stead.
Mr. GILL seconded Mr. O'Connor.
Dr. TAYLOR said they ought now to receive the re-
signation of all who were inclined to resign.

Mr. STUART thought it rather bad of Mr. Rogers
demanding of them a categorical answer as to what they
should do in future.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. JAMES TAYLOR said. Mr. Rogers only asked a
question as a tradesman. He only wishes to kno,.v if
the Convention will come to a decision which might
render it an illegal body, and therefore render it not ad-
visable for him to remain treasurer.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. PITKEITHLY said that Mr. Rogers had no right
to prejudge the Conventiti.
Mr. CARPENTER WOUIT advise them not to take any
notice of the affair.
Mr. O'BRIEN would wish that Mr. O'Connor should
add that he was worthy of the thanks of the Conven-
tion for the discharge of his duties as Treasurer.
Mr. O'CONNOR would consent to that.
Mr. MILLS said he did not resign as a member, but
as a treasurer, and in the manner he did it he did not
seem to dictate to the Convention.

Mr. DEEGAN and Dr. FLETCHER took part in the
discussion. •
Mr. Mont moved an amendment that the conside-
ration of Mr. Rogers's resignation should be deferred
until after the report of the Ulterior Committee bad
been received.
Mr. BURNS seconded this amendment.

It was put and negatived, upon which Mr. O'Con-
nor's resolution, accepting the resignation of Mr. Ro-
gers as treasurer was adopted.
It was moved and seconded, and carried by acclama-
tion, that Mr. Frost be appointed in room of Mr. Rogers.

esteem.RAFFLES.

THE CONVENTION ; THE PETI- I
TION, AND THE PEOPLE.

We take the following minatory matter from the
Northern Star of last Saturday :
The time for presenting the National Petition has
now nearly arrived, and the anxious inquiry of all is—
What will the Convention do, and what are the people
to do, after it has been rejected?
We have this day (Thursday) received a letter
from the neighbourhood of Manchester, in which the
writer says—
" The fact is, the people in all the villages about here
are ranting mad about fighting on the sixth of May."
Now we cannot think that any large portion of the
people are so infatuated—though we doubt not that the
spy system has been largely acted upon, and that the
base creatures of the "bloody" Whigs have done their
best to urge on the simplest of the people to premature
violence.

We bid them, however, emphatically, to beware! To
spurn from them—as a sure traitor—the man, whoever
he may be, that would urge them to deeds of aggres-
sive violence. The time has not yet come. The
people are not yet ready. They are not yet all armed.
They are not yet able even to offer successful resistance
to the violence which may be organized against them
by their enemies ; and this ..is the only purpose for
which they need to have arms. For this purpose we
say, let every one who has not arms procure them—
let him keep them bright and clean, and ready for use
when wanted—but let him remember that they are to
be used only for defence, in case he be attacked.
No true lover of the Charter contemplates, for one
moment, the assuming of an offensive position. " Peace,
Law, and Order" is their motto. By this motto they
will abide to the last. Let them go on peaceably, but
steadily, to exercise their moral power in the many ir-
resistible ways which are open to them in the display of
their numbers—in a general cessation of labour, or in
an universal system of exclusive dealing ; but let them
be all this time preparing for the physical attack, when-
ever it may come. Their adversaries—the enemies of
right—will soon be compelled either to puecumb, or to
attempt the sustentation of their power by physical vio-
lence ; and then, when the attack is made, the people
being all well armed, the question of " physical force"
will speedily be decided. It will come like the shock
of an earthquake, and the issue will be—liberty ; or,
to many—death : and to the rest—eternal slavery.—
Again we say, Beware ! The man who now counsels
aggressive violence is a traitor and a villain ! Treat
him as such. Avoid him, all honest men, as a scorpion
in the path!

LONDON :
TUESDAY, MAY 7„1839

In the House of Lords last night a little explanation
took place as to methods adopted in Antigua of raising
the franchise, which was done, Lord BROUGHAM said,
by a resolution of the House of Assembly, and as long
ago, Lord NORMANBY said, as 1815.
-Petitions continue to be poured in for.cheap postage.
Viscount MELBOURNE brought under the notice of
the House her MAJESTY'S Message, relative to Canada,
and deprecating all discussion on the subject, making
no long
speech, and explicitly declaring that he called
on their Lordships for no opinion, the Noble Viscount
moved an address in answer to the Message, ex-
pressing their Lordships' readiness to take the subject
into consideration, and their desire to concur in such
measures as may best promote the salutary objects her
MAJESTY has in view. After a few words from the
Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord BROUGHAM, the Ad-
dress was agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned.
In the Commons, Sir It INGLIS gave notice that
this day he will present a petition from the University
of Oxford, praying for Church Extension in England.
The Tizzies has frequently told us we have already too
much Church, and here we have a claim for more. Is
it to be an extension of Puseyism, or Kebbleism, or
Baptist-Noelism, or Low Churchisen, or High Church-
ism which is to be demanded ?- We should like to see
the extension of what is wholly lost sight of in the
midst of these numerous " isms," namely,Christianity to
which we are sadly afraid all the "isms" are opposed.
Titere are some other things of which we should see the
extension with as much pleasure as any of the "'isms'
such as forbearance, tolerance, and honesty ; but when
Oxford Doctors demand an appropriation of money taken
from the bulk of the people to extend the it "ism," they
and their friends slight all the estimable virtues we have
