SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT2

LONDON,
FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1829.

This morning a Meeting at the Treasury took
place between the Earl of LIVERPOOL and the
CH ANC ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and the Gentle-
men who usually contract for Loans, upon the
arrangement for the payment of the Naval and Mi-
litary Half-pay.—The Earl of LIVERPOOL asked
if any Gentleman had any question to propose,
tir if there was any Gentleman present who would
intimate his intention of being a bidder, when
Mr. ItoTuscuiLD said lie believed there were ne
individuals who had the intention of bidding.—
Mr. 13osANour.T, on the part of the South Sea
Company, said, that a Meeting of the Proprie-
tors was called for this day at one o'clock, and a
Play would be laid before them for taking the
Payment of the Half-pay upon themselves, but
that it was impossible he could say what
would be the result of it, and if they determined
111 the affirmative, he feared he should not be
ready to make the specific offer by Tuesday
next. After some observations from Mr. ROTHS-
CHILD, Mr. GRENFELL, Mr. WooLLEY, and Mr.
L L. GOLDSMID, all tending to skew that no indi-
viduals would be found to become the Contrac-
tors, it was understood that the meeting was
to stand for Tuesday next, subject to Mr.
BOSANQUET'S informing the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, to-night or to-morrow morning, if
the South Sea Company were likely to make a
Proposal.—lt was understood that any other
persons might also make offers on Tuesday, and
that the Earl of LIVERPOOL and the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER would take Stock in the
Public Funds, and the Five per Cent. Navy
Annuities of those who dissented from the plan
of paying off the Five per Cents, as well as Ex-
chequer Bills, as the security required for per-
formance of the contract.

ROYAL EXCHANGE, ONE o'CLoct.
The different Gentlemen who waited on Go-
Irerriment this morning, to know the further par-
ticulars of the New Loan, have returned, and we
understand that Government require Six Hundred
4 housand Consols as security, or Five Hundred
• 'thousand Exchequer Bills. The South Sea
Company are to go up on Tuesday next to bid, as
411 the other parties who attended this morning
Fill not take the Contract.—Government bad
informed the Parties, that any other persons who
44sented from the 5 per cents. may be paid up
b
giving 3 days notice, deducting the interest.
UPon the above particulars being known—Con-
sols
were done 78 for the Account, and ror
Mrooey, 785
.

We have received the Paris Papers of Tues-
(l4Y) which contain extracts of private letters
r°in Vienna, stating that the Austrian Cabinet
1144-1 just received advices from Constantinople
tillOun cing the determination of the Porte to
abide by its resolution of the 28th of February,
consequence of which the Austrian funds
again fallen. This account is further
corroborated by intelligence from Bucharest of
the 1,
th ultimo, where a communication to this
;11seet has been received, and orders reiterated
or retreating to the Danube, in case of a Russian
tr "i°n, with strict injunctions to lay the coun-
-1? waste in their march.—We give extracts from
rencli, Brussels, and German Journals in our
Preceding columns.

Several of th remaining Resolutions proposed
117 Lord e _
LONDONDERRY, on the Report of the
af4gricultural Committee, were last night carried,
ter a discussion of three days. When the Re-
c•loution was read, for granting the power of
liltuling foreign corn which had been warehoused,
t"e Noble Lord said that " it was not his intention
Thy and any proposition upon that resolution."—
Report was ordered to be received this

day.—There can be little doubt that the measures
thus adopted by the Commons will operate as a
sufficient protection to our Agriculture, should it
again become prosperous. The present distress,
however, the relief of which is of so much im-
portance to the landed interest, to the farmers,
and to the public at large, is left entirely un-
touched. In the course of the discussion, Lord
LONDONDERRY stated that it was the intention
of the CHINCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to submit,
on an early day, a plan for the further reduction
of taxation. We shall rejoice at every conces-
sion of this kind which is made to the Public,
though it should be recollected that the chief
benefit which can be conferred upon the coun-
try in general, and the farmers in particu-
lar, is an extension of the markets for the
products of our land and industry. Relief,
therefore, will be best obtained by practicable
plans for increasing the profitable employment of
the people, and for elevating the value of labour.

We regret that we have not this clay an oppor-
tunity of inserting the Petition addressed to the
House of Commons by the inhabitants of the
parish of St. Mary's, Leicester, and its vicinity,
against Mr. CANNING'S motion for the admission
of Roman Catholic Peers into the House of Lords.
The Petition is temperate in its language, and
solid in its substance. We shall present it to our
Readers to-morrow, and we have the pleasure to
state that it is soon to be followed by many others
of the same description, which we shall take an
opportunity of inserting in turn, as well as several
communications from Ecclesiastical and other
Correspondents on the same subject—a subject
of the utmost importance to the well-being of a
Protestant Government.

[Extract of a Private Letter from Coselg, near
Birmingham, May 9.]

" This part of the country is full of soldiers,
to keep the colliers quiet, and nearly the whole
of the iron-works are stopped for want of coal ;
thousands of workmen are out of employ ; and
the principal part of the distress in this
country chiefly originated in an old affair
with a Banker in Dudley, who issued his Ex-
tent in Aid, in consequence of which the col-
liers will not deliver coals or ore to the works
till cash is paid before delivery, saying, al-
though they may have confidence as to the
respectability of the Proprietors, neverthe-
less more Extents in Aid might be issued, which
would be the cause of ruining the parties."

IRELAND.—The Clonmel paper states that on
Wednesday se'nnight a body of insurgents, con-
sisting of upwards of two hundred men, with
white scarfs in their hats, attacked several houses
in the neighbourhood of Kilcash and Ballynockin.
They visited the dwelling of one farmer with in-
tent to murder him ; but the poor fellow seeing
their approach, and suspecting their intention,
took a horse from his plough and escaped, the
insurgents firing several shots after him. The
villains, however, razed his house to the ground.
The Limerick papers contain the accounts of
numerous outrages ; amongst these are some
instances of burning down houses, and attempted
assassination. In one case, a farmer succeeded
in beating off the insurgents after his house
had been set on fire in all quarters around
him. The flames NI ere afterwards extinguished
by the assistance of his neighbours, one of whom
was unfortunately wounded by the farmer, when
coming up to his aid.—A boat laden with flour
from Limerick to Ennis, was attacked by the
populace in the river of Clare, and ninety bags
of flour were carried away. From Kilkenny, also,
we have the details of a number of burnings and

other outrages. A house, which had been pre-
pared for a garrison by Mr. HEDGES EYRE, at
Glanasromp, was forced by a very large armed
party, and rifled of two blunderbusses, two pis-
tols, a musket, and a considerable quantity of
powder and ball cartridges. The partial sur-
render of arms continues.—The two mea exe-
cuted for the outrage on the women of the Rifle
Brigade declared their innocence of the crime
till the last.—The following are extracts from
Irish papers:—

CASTLEBAR7 MAY 2.—Accounts of the most serious suffer-
ing are pouring in upon us, and we have a perfect conviction
on our minds, that more than half the people of this county are
unable to procure half enough to eat. One case communicated
by a Magistrate,_ we select from several which have both fallen
under our observation and have been mentioned to us. A man
named William Kerby, of Carrabeg, has perished for want of
food.—( Mayo Constitution.)

ENNIS, :MAY 2.—ln the west of this County many families
are actually living on the poultry, and limiting themselves to a
hen or a duck in the twenty-four hours, joined to whatever ad-
ventitious aid chance may afford. There are families in this
quarter, who never knew or felt want, who are ashamed of
making it public, pining away in private. The patience of
this afflicted people is unequalled in the history of mankind,
dying of hunger, without committing any excess worthy of no-
t ce.—(Clare Journal.)

All the accounts which we have received within the last
week tend to excite in our minds no small share of alarm for

the extensive and populous districts of this county, which bor-
der Limerick and Kerry. The 'evil arising from the unex-
ampled scarcity of food is only equalled by the unwholesome
quality of the small stock of potatoes which exists, and, in
many places, every notion of devoting any share of these to
agricultural purposes is entirely and unhesitatingly abandoned.
-(Cork Mercantile Chronicle, May 6.)

ROBERT OWEN, ESQ.-Our present paper con-,
tains an advertisement by this eminent philan-
thropist, requesting a public meeting of the
friends to the " permanent relief of the Irish
peasantry, and the British agricultural and manu-
facturing labourers, by means of economical edu-
cation and employment, and a greater facility in
the exchange of the products of their labour."
We hope that this meeting, which is appointed
for Wednesday next, at twelve, at the City of
London Tavern, will be well attended. The
objects proposed are of the first importance, and
in proportion to the extent of their accomplish-
ment will be the relief to the Agricultural In-
terest, as well as to all other classes of the people.

( Extract of a Letterfz•onz a Gentleman belonging to this City,

dated London, Saturday, May 4.)

" Mr. WALLACE'S new Bill is of great importance, and
one clause in it affects most materially the whole Trade of
Glasgow, and would cut off the Export Trade both along the
Canal and by vessels from Glasgow to Greenock. Other eut-
ports are similarly situated, with no one here to attend to their
interests."—(Girsgow Courier, May 7.)

We regret to hear that a fever (supposed to
be the Typhus) has made its appearance in the
Fleet Prison within this last week; we doubt
not that due inquiry will be made, and all prac-
ticable measures adopted to prevent the diffusion
of this most alarming malady.

Yesterday the Governor of the Bank of Eng-
tand had an interview with the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER.
Yesterday at two o'clock a Cabinet Council
was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing-
street, which was attended by the Earl of Liver-
pool, Earl Harrowby, Earl of Westmoreland,
Mr. Peel, -Marquis of Londonderry, Earl Bathurst,
Mr. Robinson, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Bragge Bathurst,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Viscount
Sidmouth. The Council continued in delibera-
tion till about a quarter past four.
l3rtiGruroy, TvlAy B.—This town has not yet
recovered from the gloom which the departure of his MA-
JESTY occasioned—There was a meeting at the Old Ship
yesterday, for the purpose of petitioning both Houses of Parlia-
ment against the measure brought forward by Mr. CANNING,
to render Roman Catholic Peers eligible to take their seats in
Parliament. Several Resolutions were unanimously passed,
the Petition having been read and approved ; and which Peti-
tion new lies open for signatures at the Tavern mentioned.—
Another meeting at the above house will take place in a day or
two, upon the subject of the distress in Ireland, and having an
object to contribute to the amelioration of the condition of- the
suffering people.—The Clerk of the Peace opened an adjourned
Sessions of the Peace, at the Old Ship; on Monday, as touch-
ing the Bill to be presented respecting our projected chain pier;
but no business was discussed, as no opposition was made to
the measure.—Another meeting respecting a new local Act of
Parliament for this town will take place this week, and at which
strong opposition may be expected to prevail.
Wrixnsott, MAY 7.—This afternoon, at half-
past two o'clock, the funeral of Sir IsAnc HEARD arrived with
a hearse and six horses and five mouening coaches, with nume-
rous attendants, amongst whom were Sir GEo. NAYLOR, King
at Arms, and many distinguished persons. The Chapel bell
tolled. The corpse was met at the Chapel door by the Canons
in residence and the Choir of Singers. The pall was supported
by six Gentlemen, and his robes and sword were placed on the
top of it. The ceremony was solemnly grand. The Choir
sung the funeral service, and the Organ played as the corpse
was carried round the west aisle. The body was interred to the
left of the Chapel, opposite the east door near the Royal Family's
vault.

DOVER MAYS.--Reports state that the Prince
oi. DENMARK is coining to this country with his Princess and
his Sister, but it is doubted here whether the latter is coming.
—The intercourse with France still continues as brisk as ever ;
the Arrow steam packet arrived on Friday last with eight car-
riages and about a hundred and ten passengers; five of the car-
riages belonged to the Earl of BRISTOL, who was on board
with his numerous family (about thirty, including servants); his
Lordship and family did not leave here till yesterday.—The
Royal yacht had not arrived at Calais to-day when the packets
left that port, nor was it known there when his Royal High-
ness the Crown Prince of DENMARK is expected to arrive.--
A company of the 3d Buffs, with the band of that regiment,
arrived here on Sunday, to be in readiness to form a guard of
honour to his Royal Highness on landing.—lt is reported that
the Prince Rcgent yacht, Captain Sir MICHAEL SEYMOUR,
arrived last night in the Downs, from Deptford, on her way
to Calais, to receive on board the Crown Prince of DENMARK.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The Annual Meeting
of this Society was held yesterday in the Rev. Rowland Dill's
Chapel, which was crowded to excess. IV. A. HANNEY. tsq.
took the Chair, and the Report was immediately read bY the
Rev. G. ffirliDElt. It was very voluminous, and detailed the
most interesting proceedings of the Committee. Several Rev.
Gentlemen afterwards addressed the assembly in support of the
Institution, and the Officers for the ensuing year were ap-
pointed. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the Meet-
ing adjourned.

PATRICK'S CIIARITY FOR EDUCATING
AND CLOTHING THE CHILDREN OF POOR CATHOLICS.--
Yesterday evening thc friends and supporters ofthis excellent In-
stitution, which has for its object the Educating and Clothing of
the Children of Poor Catholics in St. Giles's, and its vicinity, and
providing au Asylum for the entire maintenance of Destitute
Female Orphans, met at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-
street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, to celebrate their Anniversary. A
ccmpany of about . two • hundred persons sat down to dinner
at six o'clock. His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, in
the Chair, supported on the right hand, by the Duke of Norfolk;
and on the left, by the Portuguese Minister. We also noticed
among the company—Lord Stourton, Lord Nugent, Earl of
.Blesinton, Sir John Doyle, Sir Thomas Constable, and other
persons of distinction.—After dinner, Non Nails Domino
sung by Messrs. Collier, Dignum, Bryant, and Foster, when
the usual toasts were given by the Royal Chairman.—The
Report of the Institution presented a most gratifying account
of the exertions of the Society during the past year. After the
Report was read, the children, who were so numerous that
he room was completely filled, were led in by the Stewards,
while the band played slow music ; and their clean and whole-
some appearance excited great admiration. An eloquent speech
was delivered in their presence ; after which they were con-
ducted out of the room in the same form. In the course of the
evening several excellent speeches were delivered, and liberal
contributions were made by the company.

THE NEW COURTS AT NV ESTMINSTER.--The
erection of the long-promised and much-wanted Courts at West-
minster is to be immediately commenced. The plans-have been
submitted to the Treasury, and have been finally approved.—
They are, as we have already stated, to be in a line with the
present Court of Common Pleas, on the western side of West-
minster Hall, and are to be extremely commodiieas. 'Work-
men are now engaged in fitting up temporary buildings of wood
along the whole length of Westminster Hall, for the reception
of the records and other papers, which are at present placed in
the buildings standing on the scite of the new Courts; and
when the removal of these papers has taken place, the labours
of the builders will be carried on with all possible dispatch.—
The north entrance to Westminster Hall is now nearly restored
to its ancient beauty, and in a short time the interior of the
south end, where the old Courts of Chancery and King's Bench
stood, will be repaired in a style suitable to the general cha-
racter of this venerable fabric.

POETRY.

---..-
ON THE DEATH OF SIR ISAAC HEARD,

PRINCIPAL GARTER LING OE ARDIS.
Amidst the sad lamenting crowds
For fallen greatness, he
Has oft, too oft, alas ! proclaim'd
The styles of royalty.

His voice was piercing to the ear,
'Twas melting to the heart ;
But lo ! a mightier voice than his
Cried—" Son otman depart."

'Tis done! 'tis done! and tho' no more
He'll speak with mortal breath,
Yet he who e'er was 1-IEAnD in life,
Will still be HEARD in death.

HISTORY OF A QUILL.-In tl►e year 1610, an
English version of Camden's Britannia appeared, which was
the work of the industrious PHILEMON Hot, LAND, a phy-
sician and schoolmaster, who boasted of having written a large
folio volume with one pen, on which he composed the follow-
ing lines

" With one sole pen I wrote this book,
Made of a grey goose quill ;
A pen it was when I it took,
And a pen I leave it still.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.-Mr. W. WEST, the husband
of the admired Actress of that name, appeared
last night in the part of Lord Ogleby. He has
acquired reputation on provincial boards, and is,
we understand, engaged for the ensuing season at
the Haymarket Theatre. His stature is about
the middle size; his figure is neat, and his coun-
tenance agreeable. He displayed merit enough
to entitle him to a fixed station on the London
Stage. Though he is a young man, it is evident
that he has studied the character of age, and the
vanity of self-delusion to which it is subject, as
marked in the character before us. The pressure
of imbecility,with the attempts to conceal it, were
managed with skill, and were very effective.—
He received much applause, to which he is ob-
viously entitled. Mrs. W. WEsT was the Fanny,
and rendered the part very interesting. Mrs.
GLOVER displayed all that spirit and knowledge
of character by which she is distinguished, in
Miss Sterling. Sir John Melville had a respect-
able representative in COOPER, and the comedy
was altogether well received by a numerous
audience.

COVENT GARDEN.-The historical play of
Henry the Fourth was represented last night at
this Theatre, for the benefit of Mr. CHARLES
KEMBLE. The house was by no means crowded,
but the very respectable audience that attended
strongly marked the estimation in which the pri-
vate character of this actor is held by numerous
personal friends and connections. his perform-
ance of the Prince of Wales is one of his best
efforts, and was characteristically animated and
graceful. King Henry was supported with dig-
nity and feeling by Mr. MAentAny. The Coro-
nation, which succeeded, though so often repre-
sented, is still regarded with attention, and was
much applauded. The splendid and popular
afterpiece of Cherry and Fair Star concluded
the entertainment, and went off with its usual
success.

ELECTIONEERING.-The late JOHN ELLIS,
Esq. who was termed " a violent party man," was employ-
ed as an agent in an election which was not only strongly
contested on the spot, but, on the ground of some irregu-
larity,, was brought, by Petition, before the House of Com-
mons. To the Bar of the House Mr. Ellis was brought, on
the part of the Petitioning Candidate, when he underwent
a cross-examination, of which the following is the substance :
" We understand, Mr. Ellis, 'that a very considerable sum
was expended in this election, and that great part of it was di-
rected to the purpose of corrupting the voters. DO you know of any
such application of money, or of any bribes being actually accept-
ed on the part of the electors ?". Indeed, Sir, I do, as agent,
I know that our party bribed all that we could get to accept
our money !" At this acknowledgment a pause of astonish-
ment seemed to pervade the House; a murmur succeeded; which
only subsided on a Member's saying to the witness, " your
party did not carry the election ? " No," returned Ellis,
with great composure, "we did not." " Well, but Mr. Ellis,"
said the first querist, " is it not extraordinary, as you say you
bribed all that would take your money, that you did not re-
turn your Member ?" " Not in the least," said Ellis. "No !
why how do you account for it !" " Easily ; the opposite Fitly
out-bribed us." At this there was an universal burst oflaughter.
" I shall not ask you any ir.ore questions, Mr. Ellis," said the
interrogator, with great indignation.
Mr. ..kLEXANDItE, the celebrated Ventriloquist,
with the most laudable feelings of humanity, has
announced his intention to give the entire profits
of his exhibition for one night, for the relief of
the distressed Irish; and with the same benevo-
lent impulse, the Proprietors of the Adelphi
Theatre will open their house for him on this
meritorious occasion. This Gentleman, whose
conduct in private has procured him the patron-
age of distinguished persons, had the honour of
dining with the Bishop of LONDON on Wednes-
day last, and highly gratified the company with
his extraordinary, performances,
