CHRISTMAS BENEVOLENCE.

The Earl of Abergavenny is displaying his usual
bounty to the poor in the vicinity of Edridge Castle,
near Tunbridge Wells. His Lordship among other
acts of benevolence, has for many weeks been paying
large sums of money for the support of the necessitous
poor in the neighbourhood.
STONE LEGH ABBEY.—The Hon. Mr. Legh has
been distributing clothing and money to the poor around
the extensive domains during the whole of the month.
Mrs. Legh, we are sorry to add, has been in indifferent
health for some time past.
The Duke of Devonshire will commence to-day his
usual bounties at Chatsworth, Hardwicke, Lismore
Castle, &c.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
(From the Courier.)
A Morning Ministerial print, notable for its envenomed
hatred of all institutions and forms of Government
which are not based in frenzied spirit of democracy,
although exclusively to be carried out by the choice
monopoly of a middle class fierce and intolerant secta-
rianism of its own, and which supports its special
theory only by slanderous personalities against those,
whether of the one sex or the other, who may chance
more or less directly to represent the principles which
it holds in abhorrence, has made the curious discovery
" that, on referring to the annals of British history,
it will be found that, at every period when the exis-
tence of the national Protestant Church was seriously
endangered, the danger originated solely and exclu-
sively from the party arrogating to themselves the
title of the Friends of the Church.'" In propor-
tion to its novelty this remarkable information ought to
be valuable if invested with the character of truth, or
borne out by the authentic character of facts cited in
confirmation. But we are startled on the very threshold
of inquiry with the assertion that Archbishop Laud,
the Representative of the " Friends of the Church,"
in the days of Charles 1., rendered the " very
name of a national Establishment odious to the people of
England." It is assumed here that the people at large were
the actors in that tragedy which led Laud to the scaffold,
instead of that miserable section of Puritans, with Pym at
their head, who by the supineness of the friends of tha
Church themselves were allowed to arrogate a supremacy
in the Legislature, and become, for a time, an ascendant
faction in the State. The supineness evident then will
excite the less wonder now in observant minds, for even
in these our times the same unaccountable apathy has
been witnessed in the midst of circumstances of most
eventful import. The Church, however, is essentially
a quiescent because a tolerant body, and can only be
aroused to action or exertion by the slow, but ultimately
mighty, force of opinion among the great public in
which it is rooted, and when the instinct of danger has
reached to the very lowest of its members.
(From the Globe.)
We proved yesterday, that " circumstances similar to
those which have been most insisted on as demonstrative
of the mischievous encouragement given by the measure
of 1829 to the spread of Popery, have exhibited them-
selves in a much stronger light, at other periods of
our history, when the political treatment of the Roman
Catholics was as unlike that to which the (alleged)
more extensive and extending dissemination of
their religious opinions is now ascribed, as it is pos-
sible to conceive." We now proceed to demonstrat-
the other limb of our propsition, to wit, that " the ex-
isting state of things,—even giving the alarmists large
credit for the correctness of their representation of
it,—may very well be accounted for, without calling in
the aid of the measure of 1829." We must premise,
however, that we demur to the assumption, without
proof (and proof has not, to our knowledge, been
even attempted), that the Roman Catholics have in-
creased in numbers, of late years, more rapidly than the
general population. Of course, it would be absurd to
expect that the laws of nature should be suspended for
the repression of the Church of Rome ; and we see no
reason to think that the number of its followers in Eng-
land has been increased otherwise than by their ordi-
nary operation ; for its losses by proselytism are, pro-
bably, fully equal to its gains. Some, indeed, of the
most zealous members of the Church of England are
beginning to see that acknowledgments of defeat, and
lamentations over lost ground, are likely to do more
harm than good. " During the past six years," says
the Rev. Mr. Hough, in the Preface to his " History
of Christianity in India," recently published, " the
confidence of Romanists in England has increased
more than, perhaps, at any former period since the
Reformation. Their chapels and seminaries have been
multiplied, but it does not follow that their converts
have kept pace with them; for it is their well-known
policy first to provide the building, and then to exert
thomselves to fill it. While, therefore, there is enough
in their activity to keep Protestants on the watch
against their encroachments, we should take care not
to allow ourselves to be deluded by these appearances
into the belief that their progress is equal to their pre-
tensions. Glad would they be to make such an impres-
sion oil the public mind ; for it would tend to paralyse
the timid, and to confirm the lukewarm in their indiffer-
ence." «e have freely admitted that the Roman Ca-
tholics—both priests and laymen—are more active and
zealous than in past times ; but we think that, under
existing circumstances, it would not be less than a moral
miracle if it were otherwise.
(From the Standard.)
The Ministerial Journals continue to betray symp-
toms of uneasy insecurity, increasing in their plainness
and bitterness of expression as the hour of trial ad-
vances. The truth seems to be, that Ministers are sen-
sible of their approaching fall from inherent weakness,
and they and their adherents arc preparing for the event
by endeavours to embarrass the Administration that as
matter of necessity must succeed. This is not a very
generous or patriotic policy, but it is not on that
account less suitable to the Whig character. Sir
Robert- Peel as the statesman upon whom the eyes
of the country are fixed, as upon him who is
to repair the mischief of Whig rule, is naturally the first
object of attack. The chief ground of invective against
the Right Honourable Baronet is the absence of any
topic of specific censure to be collected from his conduct
—a strange basis of accusation, but, nevertheless, that
upon which his accusers principally rely. Sir Robert
obstinately persists in refusing any act or expression to
which blame can attach; and he is in consequence charged
as a premeditating cheat, who is silent only on contempla-
tion of fraud. Now, though the task must be surely un-
necessary, we may be permitted to say a few words, in
this comparatively vacant season, to show how very unjust
this imputation is. We know what will be Sir Robert
Peel's policy in the administration of the Government
almost as distinctly as if we could anticipate every con-
tingency upon which it is to be exercised, and we know
it with perfect certainty, for we speak from Sir Robert's
own high authority. Let it not, however, be supposed
that we pretend to any private instructions, or to any
exclusive sources of information. We claim neither.
What Sir Robert has told to us, he has told to us
only before the public, and all who will be at the
trouble to recollect, are as wise on this head as we can
assume to be. When the Right Hon. Baronet in 1834
took upon him the government of the country, he de-
clared that he accepted the Reform Bill as a final
settlement of the Constitution, which, though final
as to its organic character, must be followed out to all
legitimate consequences. So faithfully did he act
by this declaration, that the only term of reproach
which his enemies could find for him was the title of
a conformer. Mr. Hume, it may be remembered, in-
dulged upon the occasion in a figure about Sir Robert
hatching the eggs of the Whigs—a piece of pleasantry
which obtained for the great master of the starvation
science the title of "the Middlesex goose." Mr.
Hume is no longer of Middlesex, and the Whig Minis-
ters have robbed Sir R. Peel of the exclusive praise
of conformity, for about two years ago they them-
selves passed the only measure of Sir R. Peel's Go-
vernment which they had dared to oppose—the mea-
sure their successful opposition to which drove him from
office. We need not remind our readers of the Irish
Tithe Bill, and " the appropriation clause," the his-
tory of the two constituting a monument, not, indeed, of
conformity only, but of baseness and tergiversation for
which no parallel can be found, though there is danger
that it may be overlooked, in the mass of similar work
effected during Lord Melbourne's tenure of office. So
far, then, as the Reform Bill and its legitimate con-
sequences are concerned, we have a clear chart of
Sir Robert Peel's policy. On the subject of the
Roman Catholic Relief Bill, the Right Hon. Baronet
was no less explicit, distinctly declaring that after
proposing and carrying the Bill of 1829, he never
would be a consenting party to again imposing any dis-
qualification on account of religious belief. This decla-
ration was made publicly in the House of Commons ;
it is well remembered by the Conservative party, some
whom no doubt regretted of it, as they did the measure
from which it necessarily flowed ; but in accepting for
our leader Sir Robert Peel, bound as he is by
that pledge, we have all adopted the engagement.
What, then, is the department of policy in
which any man can have a doubt of Sir Robert
Peel's Views ? We can guess at none, but if any of
those who complain of mystery will point it out, we
shall endeavour to produce the required explanation
in Sir Robert's own words, and we think that we shall
not have much trouble in finding it. At present we
may be content with saying that Sir Robert Peel
will faithfully, candidly, and liberally administer
the Constitution as settled by the Bills of 1829, and
the Reform Bill. They only who wish the Consti-
tution not to be faithfully administered can appre-
hend any thing from his accession to office. We have
heard, indeed, that a fair administration of the Consti-
tution implies, that Roman Catholics should not be
merely eligible to office, but that they should be ap-
pointed to office. Let us understand this clearly.
If it is intended that men possessing proper claims
from station, character, and talent, should be ap-
pointed to offices suited to their claims, although Ro-
man Catholics, we heartly subscribe to the proposition,
and we will even go so far as to say that it would be,
in the circumstances of the country, a duty to cast
the balance in favour of the Roman Catholic candi-
date, where station, character, and talent might seem
equal. A loyal Roman Catholic, has, in the times
in which we live, a merit peculiar to him, and it were a
useful lesson to teach by rewarding such the merit
of Roman Catholic loyalty. So far as this, we have
no doubt, Sir Robert Peel would go. What he would
not do we can best illustrate by referring to what
Lord Melbourne has done in this particular. Sir
Robert, then, would not grub up from the lowest ranks of
the legal profession, or any other profession, its meanest
members, and, merely because they wereßonzanCatkolics
and pestilent Roman Catholics too,lift them over the heads
of the most eminent men in that profession. There was
nothing in the Bill of 1829 to make a man a better.judge
because he professes the creed of some millions of more
than half barbarians,and the public is entitled to be served
by the best attainable judges. Sir R. Peel would not, we

ASHRIDGE CASTLE.—The Countess of Bridgewater
is now giving employment to all the poor around that
princely chateau ; and the usual distribution of clothing
has commenced.
The Earl of Lonsdale has issued orders for food and
clothing to be given on his estates in Rutlandshire and
Westmorland.

The Earl of Stamford and Warrington, at Enville
Hall, in Staffordshire, and Dunham Massey, Cheshire,
has ordered the distribution of clothing and food during
the whole of this and the next month.

AN UN-REHEARSED STAGE Er
FECT, OR A CURTAIN LECTURE.

Some days since the inhabitants of Marseilles were 1
informed, by large placards posted on every spot in the
town which was sacred to bill-stickers, that a young
and elegant actress would make her debut in a certain
vaudeville that evening. This announcement attracted
large crowds to the theatre. The gants fanner flocked
in numbers to admire, and young and old ladies lied re-
course to the hairdresser and dressmaker, to assist them
in their laudable endeavours not to be eclipsed by their
dangerous rival. The house was crowded to suffocation.
The orchestra had already played the overture, the bell
was rung, the eyes and each particular member of the
audience were eagerly turned towards the stage. At
length the sluggish folds of the curtain were drawn up
and disclosed the young and beautiful actress to the ad-
miring eyes of the gents jaunes, and the fault-finding
propensities of the middle-aged ladies. On she came in
all the pride of beauty and costume, and, seeing the
admiration she excited, her fluttering heart whispered
to her—.

" I'm monarch of all I survey,
My right there is none to dispute."
But in this, alas ! she was egregiously mistaken, for her
long-left legitimate " monarch" happened to recognise
in the debutante his faithless spouse, for whom he had
sought in vain through every town in France. The
husband, leaning forward out of his box, thus interrupted
his wife, just as she was mincing out the few first words,
" trippingly on the tongue"-
4. So I have found you at last, love ?"
From all parts of the house—" Out with him,"
" Down with him," " Turn him out."

Husband (loquitur)—Gentlemen, will you hear what
I have to say ? lam a much-injured man.
This proposal being accepted by gods, boxes, and
pit, the unfortunate niari continued—" Gentlemen.
this, alas ! is no comedy for me. The actress whom
you have just done the honour to receive so enthusi-
astically is my faithless wife.
Actress (interrupting him)—Mais, Monsieur—
Husband—Let me tell my story. Gentlemen, I
have sought her far and near. She fled from the
home and bosom of her adoring husband, to follow an
infernal bailiff. I am sorry to interfere with your amuse-
ments, gentlemen but I cannot allow my wife to be a
player.
This pathetic appeal came strongly home to the bu-
siness and bosoms of several husbands present :
therefore they applauded their fellow-sufferer. The
gants jaunes were, however, inexhorable. •' The
play is the thing," said they, and insisted
that the husband should be ejected, in order that the
performance might not be interrupted. A scene of up-
roar then ensued which baffles all description. In the
midst of all this was heard the voice of the infuriated
husband protesting against the continuance of the comedy.
The unwearied portion of the audience still shout " Play
out the play !" The piece was entitled " Cabinets Par-
ticuLers," and assuredly one of those shady blest retreats
—the terror of Parisian husbands, and the delight of
Cicisbeos—would have been far bettor adapted to the
expose of this episode in the history of the domestic
manners of the French. But little did the faithless
fair expect that the audience which greeted her on
the drawing up of the curtain would so speedily be con-
verted into unwilling listeners to a curtain lecture.
The cries of " Turn him out !" prevailed, and the pro-
testing husband was pounced upon by the police. The
piece the❑ continued without any further interruptiorz.—
Paris Print.

ALLEGED INFANTICIDE. —On Saturday an
inquest was held at the Cumberland Arms, City-road„
on the body of a child found in a box. A servant
girl, being the owner of the box in which the remains were
found, had been committed to gaol by the Magitrates,
and was at the request of the Coroner brought before
the Jury. Mary Ann Rowley, the girl above-mentioned,
stated that the mother of the child was Mrs. Tully, the
wife of the proprietor of the Bazaar at Gravesend ; that
she was separated from her husband, and that Mrs.
Kelly acted as midwife at its birth. From Mrs. Tully's
poverty, she having only eight shillings a week from
her husband, she could not buy clothes for the forth-
coming infant, and the witness had herself spent her
wages in doing so. Mrs. Tully was much afraid of her
family knowing that she had a child, and on her leaving
she promised to send her money to bury the body, but
she had not seen her since. Witness wrote to her own
friends and to Mr. Tully for money, but although he
promised to send it to her he had not done so. The
jury returned a verdict of " Natural death," and the
Coroner regretted he had not the power of discharging
the girl, who had acted from humane feelings alone.
viw ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSICIANS.--The
election of two King's scholars took place at the Aca-
demy of Music on the •20th instant. There were ten
male and eleven female candidates. The successful
ones were Miss K. Loder, of Bath, and Master Noble,
both pupils of the institution. The board of examiners
consisted of Mr. C. Potter, (chairman), Sir G. Smart,
Messrs. F. Cramer, Bishop, Elliott, Goss, and Lucas,
who presented their report to Lord Burghersh (chair-
man of the committee of management), which was ap-
proved by his Lordship and the committee. There was
a great deal of talent displayed by several of the candi-
dates, and an ample proof of the rapid progress which
music is making in this country.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. I presume, allow the profession of the Roman Catholic
faith to compensate the want of character, any more
than he would allow it to c ampensate the want
of talent. He would not select p romoters of murder,
incendiary exhorters to resistance or the law, liars, slan-
derers, traitors, and repealers, fo r the advisers of
the Crown and the objects of Roy al favour, merely
because they were Roman Catholics.. This is not to
give to Romanists the benefits of the of 1829 ; it is
on the other hand to tell them that that Bill will remain
a dead letter to all unprepared to buy its advantages by
trampling upon the most sacred social duties. Sir
Robert Peel, too, would doubtless feel it due to the
feelings of Roman Catholics, as well as Protestants,
to consult propriety in Roman Cathol is appoint-
ments. He would not recommend a Romanist priest
to the See of Canterbury, nor would he imitate the
tyrant James the Second, or Lord Melbourne, by placing
a Romanist gentleman over the education of this Pro-
testant country. In few words, Sir Robert Peel would
not proscribe loyalty and attachment to the Protestant
religion, under the pretext of following out the principle
of the Bill of 1829.

It was generally reported last week, in the best
informed circles in London, that Ministers arc prepared,
soon :after the meeting of Parliament, to introduce a
measure substituting a fixed duty on foreign corn in the
room of the present fluctuating scale. The tax on wheat,
it was stated, would be seven shillings a quarter. When
we call to mind Lord John Russell's expressed prefe-
rence for a fixed duty, we feel more inclined to credit
this report ; but still Lord Melbourne's explicit decla-
ration, that it would be an act of madness to meddle
with the present Corn-laws, makes us hesitate about at-
taching implicit confidence to the rumour. In the mean-
time agitation on the subject is carried briskly on in
Manchester and several of the manufacturing towns in
England.—Greenock Advertiser.

We regret to announce the death of Davies
Gilbert, D.C.L., which took place early on Tuesday
morning at Eastbourne. He was late President of the
Royal Society, and many years Member of Parliament
for Bodmin, previously to the passing of the Reform
Bill, at which time he retired from public life, on account
of infirmities increasing upon him. He was deeply
versed in scientific knowledge, and was the author of
several excellent works. From his knowledge of the
customs of the mines, &c., of his native county, Corn-
wall, he was appointed one of the Commissioners for
inquiry into the ancient usages and customs of the mines
of that part of the kingdom. In his manners he was
courteous and gentlemanly ; and his loss will be long
and deepiy regretted—Brighton Gazette.
TURKISH FRONTIER, DEC. 7.—The insur-
rection at Prisrend was terminated at the end of No-
vember. Passim Effendi, the newly appointed Governor
of Prisrend, arrived as Envoy for the Rumely Valessi,
with a firman of the Sultan's announcing unlimited
amnesty for all that has passed. After a short negocia-
tion Passim Effendi entered the town, and the inhabi-
tants returned to their obedience to the Porte.

THE JULY COLUMN IN PARIS.--The column
of July, in the Place de la Bastile, is proceeding gradu-
ally towards completion, but some delay has been occa-
sioned by the failure of the casting of the acroterium, or
small cupola, which has been recast, and will not be fixed
for some time. The balustrade of the capital is near-
ly cast, and the staircase is at two-thirds of its entire
height. It is expected that by March all the work in
bronze will be finished. The engraving of the names of
the victims will in the meantime commence, and, as it
will be in winter, the workmen will be protected by a
covering, which they can raise or lower according to the
state of the weather. The works for completing the
base, the pavement, and the iron railing will be com-
menced in the spring, and will be finished by the end of
May. The plan and estimates of the vaults have re•
ceived the sanction of the Minister, and the cement
work of the roofs and walls is already in hand. Every-
thing will, it is said, be ready for the inauguration in the
course of next spring.
CHRISTMAS EVE FROLIC.—On Tuesday
night, between nine and ten o'clock, a party of working
men assembled together for the purpose of regaling
themselves at the Wheat Sheaf public-house, Old-street,
St. Luke's, when one of the men,named Mitchell, having
become very much intoxicated, fell into a sound sleep.
His companions, who were all more or less affected by
the liquor they had been drinking, then commenced
amusing themselves by putting lighted coals on his shoe
until they burned through to his toes. The poor fellow
at length awoke in the greatest agony, and was obliged
to be removed to the hospital, where he is likely to re-
main for some length of time, in consequence of the
severe injuries he has received. This heartless sport is
too frequently exercised by the lower orders of society,
which, however, should at all times be discouraged and
highly censured.
EXTRORDINARY FEAT.--The steeple of the
Cathedral church is over 150 feet high ; a leakage
near the top has existed for years, and to erect a
scaffolding would be very expensive. A young man,
a slater, of the name of John Martley, and a native
inhabitant of Cashel, offered to discover the place of
the leakage. Extraordinary to say, this adventurous
young man erected ladders without assistance, from
blocking course to blocking course, until he ascended
to the very top, and sat on the ball. A more perilous
feat could not be performed. Having discovered the
leakage, he has agreed, we understand, to stop it. We
know not how much he is to get for his labour ; but
we cannot but say that he is fully entitled to a very
high remuneration.—Clonniel Herald.
LOSS OF AN INFANT CHIMNEY-SWEEPER.---.
Another fatal accident has just occurred at Foot's-tray,
Kent, attended with even more aggravated circum-
stances than the death of the child in Dublin as re-
ported a few days ago. This little boy is described as
being known to every body, and the pet of his neigh-
bourhood, from the mildness of his manners. The par-
ticulars of the case have been strangely concealed ; but
it seems that the poor little fellow came down almost as
soon as he went up, saying, " It is too hot." The parties
who stood by ordered him up again, and he came down
a second time, saying, " I cannot bear it." He was then
forced up a third time, to come down no more.—Verdict,
" Suffocation."

surrendered himself at the Conciergerie.
