SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'&

The four principal favourite.. maintain tl,e same relative
position as on Monday, with this exception, that Bruns-
wicker recovered his lost ground, through the spirited
manner in which he was supported by a Manchester ;en
tleman of considerable influence, despite of the chaff about
his legs. The Sal colt improves daily, while Mabmoud
as palpably declines for both stake'. Another horse, from
the same stable (Red Rover), was backed at 30 to 1 ; anti,
from the number of gentlearien asking the odds, we are
inclined to think that he will again make a figure in the
betting. Muuche and Maria were backed at sto 1, and
13 to 2, for the Oaks ; and Sadler's filly had plenty of
friends at 20 to 1. The lliddleetworth odds are more in
keeping with the Derby than heretofore. Very little was
done on the St. Leger, and no alteration. The afternoon's
business closed, at a late hour, as follows:_,

GRAND PIGEON MATCH.

On Tuesday last, a grand shooting match took place at
Cosby, Leicestershire, for a silver cup, a fat pig, (weigk-
ing alive 43 score,) and various other [mixes, and was
attended by gentlemen sportsmen bona the neighbouring
counties. The birds, as usual, were placed at a certain
distance, and each sportsman engaged was allowed four
shots ; several ties took place, and ultimately Mr. Simons,
of Peatiing, was the fortunate winner of the two grand
prizes, killing at every shot. Sixteen gentlemen took the
fed for the various prizes, and some excellent inarksmee
were on the ground. Next day, the pig was slaughtered
in Leicester, and when dressed weighed thirty-seven
score, five pounds. The match took place adjoining Mr.
Pochin's the Bull's Head inn._Stamford Nt•ses.

Mr. WCOLNOTH has just engraved a por-
trait of her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT, from
an original picture by H. COLLaN, which we have seen,
and which reflects great credit on the engraver's skill.—
The lights and shades of the countenance, which is admi-
rably set off by a profusion of glossy black hair, are very
carefully marked, and the grace of the figure is well sus-
tained. As a work of art it is very excellent, and will
increase the lustre of Mr. WOOLNOTIeS reputation.
MR. SERJEANT BLACKS URN.—The learned
Serjeant had his commission appointing him going Judge
of Assize, delivered to him on Monday, and he loft town
on that night for Emile, where he will &spume the bine-.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The Committees of both Houses, employed in
examining the merits of the great India question,
ought to beware of two things—lst, the indulgence
of any office-like prepossessions in favour of the
monopoly which is now on trial; 2d, the appear-
IlliCe of giving way to such prepossessions. We
state the thing broadly, that, composed as the Com-
mittees have been, there exists no danger of any
prejudice affecting their judgments on the other side
of the question ; nor any suspicion in the public
mind, that either Committee will ingraft upon its
report a single suggestion unduly adverse to the in-
tere-ts of the Honourable Company. It is there-
fore that we notice two facts which have been
communicated to us, and which bear undoubtedly,
while, unexplained, a sinister and disagreeable com-
plexion. One is, that the Committee of the House
of Lords have decided, by a majority of 9 to 6, and
against the precedent established for them by their
brethren of the House of Commons, that the dele-
gates from the outports of this country, and from
India, shall not be admitted to hear the evidence, or
to witness their Lordships' proceedings. This
must, undoubtedly, render it most difficult for the
commercial interest of Great Britain, or of India, to
guess what sort of case the Company has attempted
to set up, and, by consequence, what species of
testimony ought to be brought forward in answer
to it. There seems to us to be something quite
monstrous in the scheme of shutting out, we do
not say merely the chosen representatives of
the commercial interest, but the public them-
selves, who have a great staple interest as con-
sumers on this occasion, from observing the manner
in which an inquiry is conducted, on the result of
which inquiry E 0 much of individual comfort, of
mercantile freedom, of manufacturing prosperity,
and of national greatness must depend. The Com-
mons' Committee do indeed, by special grace, per-
mit one or more of the delegates, as we have heard,
to witness the course of the investigation ; therefore
the more singular that the Lords do not. Again,
the Committee of the Commons, we are told, are
hesitating as to paying the expenses of any wit-
nesses who may be summoned by the friends of free
trade. The Company, which has an interest di-
rectly adverse to that of the nation,—videlicet, an
interest in excluding the nation from enjoyments
which are the common right of Englishmen,—the
Company is a concentrated power, with an immense
treasury at its command. Witnesses for the Corn.
rainy may be brought from China, or the Lord
krisiws where ; and who will call the Directors to
account for indemnifying them for their expenses ?
We may be sure that the Company's witnesses will
not return home unpaid. But we fear that if the
witnesses fur the nation be not paid, the national
interest will go to the wall upon this question, and
the Company must have the eastern world to them-
selves. By every rule of common sense and justice,
t} e party on whose behalf a witness appears, ought
to indemnify him for his reasonable costs and
charges. Those who are brought forward for the
country seem to have a rightful claim upon the pub-
lic purse. We suppose, therefore, that the Com-
mittee will agree to recommend to the whole House
the indemnification of those persons who give evi-
dence on behalf of the country. Precedent, like-
wise, as well as reason, is on the side of this claim
for the witnesses against monopoly. We are in-
formed that the Coal-trade Committee paid the
torts of the several witnesses; so the wool-trade;
and in both these cases the question of monopoly
yeas involved.—Times.

Sir John Newport brought the state of the Church
of Ireland before the House last night, and in the
course of his speech gave a most distressing account
of the condition of the Curates. One Curate,
whom he described as a most respectable man, had
done duty for. non-resident incumbents for fifty-five
years. " Six successive Bishops had passed him by,
and promoted those who were junior to him. It
was rather remarkable that one of these six Bishops
happened to be the present Bishop of Ferns, who
could see no abuse in the present state of the Irish
Church. Lord L. Gower observed, in answer to
this part of the speech of Sir John, that " melan-
choly as the facts were which the Right Hen. Ba-
ronet had stated with regard to the Curates of Ire-
land, he must say that he knew of no profession
(not even excepting that of the law) in which the
merit of particular individuals would so long linger
on in obscurity lt was, he repeated,
hardly fair to single out this individual (the Bishop
of Ferns) for reproof or sarcasm, because it hap-
pened that there were Curates in his diocese who
were living in poverty and neglect. He could take
upon himself to state, that there was every dispo-
sition it. the Bench of Ireland to bring forward
and remunerate the Curates of that country."—
There is no doubt a great disposition on the part of
the Good Bishops to reward merit ; but, unfortunately
for the Curates, distinguished merit is always so ex-
tensively possessed by the sons and brothers of the
good Bishopeond the husbands of their daughters, that
the livings are not sufficient for them, especially as
the merit of some Gf the sons and brothers, and sons-
in-law, is so very great that half a dozen livings a
niece is thought hardly a suilizient reward for them.
The disposition, however, is undoubted ; and as
Sir Robert Inglis thinks there will be a great im-
provement in the Irish Church some of these days,
it is possible that the Bishops may be so far hurried
away by it, as to evince that ardour of their disposi-
tion in behalf of the Curates, by bestowing no liv-
ings on their relations till the former are provided
for. Mr. Hume, notwithstanding the abundant
testimonies borne to the high character of the Irish
Church, and the excellent disposition of the Bishops
it, behalf of the Curates, " hoped to see the Esta-
blishment reduced to two or four Bishops. He
should like that sixteen or eighteen Bishops were
swept off at once—(A laugh)—and he heartily
believed the population of England and Ireland
would go along with him. Instead of repairing the
Cathedrals, if they could not be converted into
parish churches, he would pull them down." Mr.
Peel's speech indicated a very different feeling re•
specting Ecclesiastical matters than Government has
been accustomed to entertain. Alluding to an in-
temperate speech from Mr. Trent, he asked " Did
the Hon. Member for Dover, professing his anxiety
to maintain the interests of religion, conceive that
be could impose upon any man by his cry of the
Church in Danger."—Morning Chronicle.
The presentation in the House of Lords last night,
of a petition from the county of Suffolk, give rise
to some observations on the subject of retrenchment.
'The Duke of Wellington remarked that " all he
errald say upon the subject was, that he and his
Majesty's servants had done all in their power to
reduce our expeuces within the smallest limits possi-
ble. We were incurring no expence at the present
moment, that he knew of, which was not necessary
to maintain the honour and interests of the country,
in all parts of the world. Although it was • true
that this was a small island, its interests were
spread all over the world, and must be maintained."
Its interests ! No, no, not its interests. It is,
however unfortunate for England, the interest of
the Aristocracy that every spot throughout the four
quarters of the world to which troops can be con-
veyed should be occupied, that their poor relations
may obtain pretexts for receiving money from the
taxes. It never can be the interest of the nation
that the taxes wrung from the people should be
waste.d on colonies of no use to use Many of the
colonies which are now a heavy burgle;; on us
tealld defend themselves ; and the experiee
not incurred in benefiting them, but in retard-
log their improvement. To take only the ease
of Canada—it is notorious that this burden-
some colony is merely burdensome because we
choose to ;maintain interests hostile to the popula-
tion. These interests are not the interests of the
people of England, which are,oa the contrary, identi-
cal with those of the Colonists. The manner in which
English misgovernment injures both the Canadians
and the people of this country, has been detailed in
a very eenaible work published lately, under the
title of A Political and Historical Account of Lower

Canada, of which we shall one of these days give an
account. It is of great importance that the people
of this country should not remain under an illusion
that they benefit the colonists by what they expend
in them. We expend money to create feuds and
dissensions, to carve out work for the dependants of
our aristocracy. It was observed by the Marquis
of Lansdowne that " Colonies were of two classes.
Those which were purely military stations must al-
ways be a burden upon the mother country ; but
there were others connected with this country by
trade and commerce, but possessed of a numerous
and wealthy population, who, in proportion as we
imparted to them the advantage of good govern-
ment, would, in his opinion, imbibe a disposition to
share our expenditure respecting them, and, in many
instances, if they received a secure naval defence
from us, would take upon themselves the whole of
their military expenditure. He would not go then
into any detail, but he would state at once that he
considered Canada to be one of those colonies.
Witls respect to some of the colonies in our posses-
sion, it might also be a matter of serious considera-
tion whether or not they were worth retaining."—
Some people seem to think that we never can pos-
sess too many colonies. The best way of showing
the absurdity of ;line notions is to push them to an
extreme. A projector in Moliere proposes to the
French Government that, as a certain number of
sea-ports yielded a certain revenue, the whole coast
of France should be converted into sea-ports, the
revenue increasing with every port. If colonies are
in all cases beneficial to the mother country, let us
increase the number of them by all means. Let us
imitate the projector in Moliere. In this way we
should soon have the advantage or disadvantages of
colonies brought forcibly home to us. We should
soon see that all colonies are not advantageous to us,
and that would lead to the inquiry what colonies are,
and what are not, advantageous. An empire does
not always gain either in wealth or strength by ex-
tending its possessions.—Alorning Chronicle.
There was something very inconsistent, if not
absurd, in a Morning Paper congratulating the
Greeks upon their delivery from foreign bondeee, in
the very article which announced the determination
of the Allies to establish and support Prince Leopold
on the throne of that country by the instrumentality
of foreign troops. If that be not foreign dominion
which consists of a foreign Prince supported by
foreign bayonets, we know not what is. We be-
lieve the House of Saxe Coburg has as little con-
nection with a Greek origin as that of the Sultan
Mahmoud. if the Journal in question had informed
us that a civilised Government was to be este.
Wished in place of one inveterately barbarous, we
could understand it ; but we cannot see why the
Greeks should be felicitated for having escaped from
a foreign yoke, because a German family supplants
the descendants of Omar, and the scimitar gives
way to the bayonet. Just as difficult is it to believe
that the new dynasty can be acceptable to the
people, while it rests for support not upon public
esteem, but on military power. If Leopold must
commence his reign by protecting himself against
his new subjects, we do not augur much for the tran-
qwillity dins future Government. Teen the question
suggests itself, if the Greeks should disapprove more
effectually than by words of the Prince whom the Allies
have appointed to rule over them, has this country
pledged itself to fight his battles, and maintain him,
at all hazards, on the throne Should it not be so,
Leopold will have to trust more to those regal vir-
tues which conciliate and command the feelings and
confidence of a nation, than to the prowess of Bri-
tish warriors and the political Quixotism of British
statesmen. If, on the other hand, our rulers are
bound to support on the throne of Greece the Prince
whom they have placed there, it would not be mat-
ter of astonishment to any reflecting mind if, before
a very distant period, the materials of an European
war would be collected and kindled on this long-
contested soil. Russia has attained one great ob-
ject in severing Greece from Turkey, but her policy
would hardly he considered as consummated until that
coveted portion of the dismembered empire of our
" ancient faithful Ally" shall hare been attached to
herself. What the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh
would not at present think it prudent to attempt
openly by arms, it may bring about by intrigue.
Certainly it is not probable that Russia will allow
England to establish an undisputed ascendancy in
Greece, and render rain the active ambition of cen-
turies.—Morning Herald.
The Times of yesterday contains the following
portion of a leading article :
" Sure we are that had the expedient of contemptuous
tolerance been fortunately adopted towards the Morning
Journal, the career of that foolish and worthless print
would long since have run itself out. The nuisance
would have been Mated by dint of its own palpable gross-
ness, nor would the amateurs of malice and licentiousness
have been daily feasted, during the last four months, with
diatribes against the Duke of Wellington and the Attorney-
General in one column, and, in the next, with impudent
demands upon the latter officer, urging hint to institute
against other prints the very same power of ex- officio
information which, when brought into play against the
most libellous paper in the empire, he had been re-
Froached with as an unpardonable crime."
When a thief or a debauchee turns Methodist he
invariably becomes the loudest in condemning vice,
and when a faded street-walker begins to affect vir-
tue she uniformly preaches like a termagant against
licentiousness. Such is the case with the Times—
with this difference, that our contemporary, with-
out relinquishing any one of his old and bad habits
—without becoming more respectable or less wicked
—without pretending even to an awakened sanctity
or evincing any symptoms of penitence—has the
insolence to censure us for certain misdemeanours of
which we are not guilty. Our contemporary must,
at the moment when he wrote this piece of impu-
dence, have been looking into his own conscience
and pondering over his own sins, and impelled by
remorse he has attributed to us a portion of the guilt
he found corroding his own bosom. This is not
the way to wash the Ethiopian white, or balance
accounts with the devil. Ili s Satanic Majesty
not to be balked of his due in this way for the sake
of a Whig Attorney-General ; nor is the Times
likely to enhance its character by traducing others,
like Lady M. and Lady L., to the dank and revolt-
ing level of its own infamy. We shall notice the
latter portion of the last sentence of the above para.
graph first. The Times charges us IN ith urging Sir
James Scarlett to institute proceedings against other
newspapers. Our reply to the charge is, that it is
false! We deny the charge, we deny the inuendo, we
deny the possibility of construing any word or words
we ever wrote into a wish on our parts to see the
Attorney-General proceed against any of our con-
temporaries. What we did say, and what we say
now is, that the Attorney-General has evinced the
most marked and malignant partiality in singling us
out for his vengeance, while he allows other writers
to indulge in the most wanton attacks upon inch el-
duals of much higher rank in the State than Mr.
Peel, Lord Lyndhurst, or the Duke of Wellington.
We charged Sir James Scarlett, and we charge
him again, with gross dereliction of his duty, as the
self-constituted censor of the press, in prosecuting us
for a squib, and not prosecuting the Times for some
of the most infamous libels that ever appeared in
print. Suppose we had insinuated corruption against
Lord Lyndhurst, which we did not—suppose we
had called him a bankrupt, and a dangeerms and
unjust Judge, which we did not, and which God
forbid we should do_ eswould any of those imputa-
tions have been of to heinous and offensive a na-
ture as the imputation of murder r had been
ps....,iehed for the first charge, and the Times no:
punishes a: fc.r the second, what would the world
have said ? Weeld there have been a man
in England above the i;ttellectual grade of an
idiot—Sir James Scarlett alweez excepted—who
would not have called such treatment injustice
—injustice of the blackest, basest, and most atro-
cious nature ? If we thought there could be found
only one man in England of different opinion we
should give our case up in despair. But we know
that no such roan, the Attorney-General excepted,
is to be found. Wu are persuaded that the whole

country looks with loathing and disgust upon the
invidious and vindictive conduct of Sir James
Scarlett. His own friends out of doors—his
nearest relations—men of the same party and the
same profession—all look upon his proceedings as
partial, wanton, and dictatorial. It is very well for
the Times, and the writer of this article, who is
honoured with the friendship of the Attorney• Gen-
eral—an honour which in a recent instance at the
University Club it would have been well to have
foregone—it is wet? for them to condemn our in-
temperance in order to cover their own. But the
manoeuvre will not succeed. It will not be for-
gotten that while we were prosecuted for pitying
the King—God help us for daring to pity his
Majesty !—the Times was not prosecuted for call-
ing that same King an extravagant son and an un-
just brother—for expending his royal income on
toys and baubles while the debts of the late Duke
of York remained unpaid, his memory being the
scoff of his creditors, and his dishonoured bills the
reproach of his Sovereign. All this said the Times
even much more. But its attecks on the Duke of
Cumberland were of a still more ferocious and cri-
minal nature. That illustrious person was in the
most direct terms called- a m:aderer—he was re-
presented as a Cataline who ought to be expelled
from society,and whom it would scarcely be a crime
to assassinate in the streets. We know that his
Royal Highness has complained to those who feel
for his situation of the insult and odium heaped
upon Hun by these libels. He has made them the
ground of complpint in a high quarter—he is ready to
' meet Its accaserF, but where is the Attorney-
General ? A e the smites of Mr. Peel to he vindi-
cated, cod tite woonded piide of Lord Lyndhurst to
be sow"ted, et ocr expense, and yet is there to be no
law, no ro ju:,ice at the hands of the
King's At oi iley-Gen 2i for 'hat injured King's in-
jured brother? The whole world must cry shame
at this specimen of Witig imp.aziality and English
justice. Sir James Scarlett will stand for ever de-
graded and despised—a thing odious in the sight of
all men—

" A f !red figu-e for the time of scorn
To point his slow unmoving finger at,"—
if he allow us to remain in prison and institute no
proceedings against the Times—against his friend,
and his friend's employers. Not that we desire to
see this Censor-General so employed. But let him
be dismissed from office and we shall cheerfully bear
our severe sentence, consoled by the reflection that
we have assisted to rid the country of one of its
greatest anti most vindictive oppressors. Having
said thus
.much in fairness towards our contempo-
rary we are half inclined to let the first portion of
the paragraph pass unnoticed. The Times talks of
our " malice and licentiousness!" To say the least
of them these terms evince exceeding bad taste, and
must have been written during some obvious minute
between three and five o'clock in the morning.
Has the Tunes forgotten the days of Queen Caro-
line ? Has it forgot that since that period to the
present its depraved pages have been devoted
to every thing that is bad in polities and de-
' basing in morals? When did it ever pursue
any other course than that which panders to
the licentiousness of the age ? When did it
ever advocate a good cause or renounce a bad
one ? Its history is a nuisance—its profligacy
as proverbial and its venality as notorious as the
dead sea. With the mob to-day and with the
Ministers to-morrow it casts off the one whom it
has beggared, and clings to the other merely be-
cause they are the only party who have either favour
or patrorage to bestow. Its principles are based
upon licentiousness, and its dishonest patrons revel
on the spoils of those measures which it has advo-
cated for its own purposes, and which have plunged
the great mass of the population into ruin and mi-
sery. It supports the prevailing theories solely
because they are profitable; and it adheres to the
fundholders, the pensioners, and the annuitants,
chiefly because they are the only classes who can
pay, for its support. It wishes to overturn the India
Company because it anticipates a share of the spoil,
and backs their assailants in the hope of receiving a
lieral commission upon the free trade. In one
word, it is unlike any thing but itself—it is as cor-
rupt as—the Times! —Morning Journal.
The Duke of Wellington declared in the House
of Lords last night that the expenditure of the
country, both at home and abroad, had been reduced
to the lowest possible point consistently with the
maintenance of the honour and interests of the
country, and that no further diminution was to be ex-
pected. That his Grace has done every thing in the
way of economy that he could, or deemed to be ne-
cessary, we entertain no doubt; but when he states
that our colonial expenditure is less now than in
1792, we must beg leave to remind him, first,
that some of the colonies are burthens upon the
country instead of benefits to it ; secondly, that they
ought to maintain themselves; and, thirdly, that if
the colonial expenditure be less now than in 1792,
the general expenditure has been quadrupled. In a
Pamphlet lately published for Mr. James Thick, by
Effingham Wilson, which contains innumerable cal-
culations and facts relative to the debt, taxation,
expenditure, and commerce, of Great Britain, we
find the following summary of the public accounts,
from 1693 up to 1820, which we would fain com-
mend to his Grace's attentive consideration:—

" It appears by an extract from Mr. Gregory King's
estimates of the state of the nation, in the year 1695, that
the annual income ofthe nation was then but 42,500,000/. ;
the taxes 5,000,000/. ; and the amount of coined gold and
silver 7,500,0001. It appears also, by a statement of Mr.
King, th it the year:y produce of land up to 1700 was
13,000,0001. ; by an estimate of Mr. Pitt, in 1796, it
was 25,000,0001. ; by returns to property tax in 1804
38,000,000/. ; in 1815, 51,000,000/. ; and in 1820 the
rental of land was computed at 54,000,0001. The peace
establishment of 1793 amounted to only 6,000,000/., it is
now upwards of 20,000,0001. On the 9th of June, 1802,
the navy and army estimates were moved in the House of
Camtnons for the remainder of that year; by which it ap-
pears that the annual expenditure for seventy thousand
men, cmnpor-JI of fourteen thousand cavalry and fifty
thousand infantry, including the Guards, was 2,500,000/,
The supplies vo,nl for 1807-8 were—for the army and
extraordinariea 16,000,000/. ; fur the navy and extraordi-
navies 18,000,000/ ; for the ordnance and extraordinarics
3,000,000/. ; the civil list 2,000,000/. ; miscellaneous
3,000,000/. ; subsidies 5,000,000/. ; and the dividends and
sinking fund 28,000,0001.:—total 75,000,000/. The
peace :::tablishment of 1813, including the interest of the
debt, wa's 56,001,8241. In 1825 the army estimates were
7,911,000/. ; the ordnance 1,751,0001.; and the total ex-
penditere for the year was 55,330,00 W. The expenditure
for the army I..st year (1823) including the ordnance, was
upwards of 8,000,000/. ; and the tot's'. expenditure upwards
of 50,000,0001. In 1813 these wc:e expended, besides all
sums applicable to the reduction of the debt, 105,000,0001.;
in 1814, 106,000,000/. ; and in 1815, 9.2,135,000/. ;
making a total for three years of 303,135,000/. ! Was it
possible fur so large an expenditure io Le circulated, and so
large an amount of revenue, cs must have been collected in
till three years to have lr'en accomplished, if there had been
no paper in circulation, or had there been no restricLion
in existence ?

" Ihe national debt in 1790 IV2S but 2g 1,000,0001. ;
the t-les 16,800,0001. ; and the poor rates 2,000,0001;

taxes t 380,000,000/. ; and the poor rates to 8,000,000/.
What, I would ersain r,k, has produced all this great in-
cre--3 of the public burdens but the paper system, and limy
is it po:sible to get back through the great labyrinth other-

the pr.:lit system of finance, end an alteration of the state
of the national debt'"—Morning Advertiser.

A steam tug-boat has just been brought into
use uran the river Severn between. Gloucester and Wor-
