(To be continued.)

This remarkable observation of the Orator has of late been
echoed from one end of the kingdom to the other. Mr.
Clowry's version of it, which he embodied in his speech at the
Carlow Meeting, is particularly striking. It should be re-
marked, before we give it, that tliis Mr. Clowry is a young
Catholic Priest, residing at Tullow, in this county, Carlow ;
" Let me, Mr. Clowry, ask what is the state of morality in
the sister kingdom ? There is scarcely any female in England
married till after she has become the victim of seduction !"
( Report of the Bibk proceedings at Carlow.)

LONDON TlTHES.—Yesterday a Meeting of the
Inhabitants of the parish of St. Giles without, Cripplegate, was
held at the Church, for the purpose of considering the propriety
of co-operating with the Special Tithe Committee of the Corpo-
ration of the City of London, in an application to Parliament
to regulate the local tithes within their jurisdiction, and prevent
a continuance of the exhorbitant claims of some clergymen
under the statute of the 37th of Henry VIII. The Meeting
was but thinly attended, and ate, 4;orna conversation hetwun
the churchwardens, Mr. Newell, Mr. Yellowley, Mr. Haines,
and some other parishioners, a resolution of co-operation
with the city of London in the application to Parliament was'
agreed upon. In the course of the conversation, the great
difficulty seemed to be, to create a fund for meeting the neces-
sary expence of the Parliamentary proceeding : a voluntary
subscription had been already in part attempted. The present
vicar had not demanded more than ls. in the pound, but the
parishioners thought the opportunity now affbrded by the Cor-
poration of London favourable to the proper determination of
this tithe question, to prevent ultimate contention.

BAD COUNTRY NOTES.—There are at this tune'
persons going about the town, passing notes of country Bankers,
long since as Bankers defunct. There is also another species
of trick practised by these gentry—that is, going to Coach-
offices with a number of good country notes, not payable in
London, and requesting the guards and coachmen, and the
book-keepers of the offices, to exchange them for cash or Bank-
notes, offering a premium for this accommodation, the drawers
of which have suspended payment. They are, in fact, merely
waste paper. Several attempts of this kind have come within
our knowledge, and some of the parties are well known.

Last week, as a poor man in the employ of
Mr.. Gurney Croasdill, residing at Tyler-hill, was in the act
of loading a timber tug, and the wind blowing strong at the
time, he was precipitated to the ground; and, trifling as the
distance may appear, his collar-bone was dislocated, one eye
forced from the socket, and lie was otherwise.materially. in-
jured. The Unfortunate man was immediately conveyed to his
own residence, *here medical aid was speedily afforded ; but
we are sorry to add that faint hopes are entertained of his re-
covery.—(Kent Mercury.)

-LIT ERA FLY NOTICE.

"The 'AMULET, or CHRISTIAN and LITERARY RE-

MEMIRANCER.

i;his is another of those elegant little yearly

riblications which are designed as presents at
festive period of Christmas, and which are, on
each successive year, increasing in quantity. The
present Number is, we believe, the first of The
Amulet, but the neatness of the production, and
Abe variety of the embellishments ensure it a suc-
cessful continuance. The plates (12 in number)
bear the names of some of our first Artists, and

their efforts on the present occasion are highly

creditable to their talents. The Amulet must
-certainly claim a distinct notice front the other
works of the same description which it has lately
.been our province to review, inasmuch as its ten-
dency is more decidedly religious than any of the

I
yearly tributes of affection which we have seen.
Ti (as far as a distinction can be made between
the objects of thesepublications) is indeed an en-
Aleavour to maintain a separate ground, and may
coincide with the opinions of particular indivi-
duals, as well as prove acceptable to the general
-reader. A religious feeling, in fact, pervades
tie whole work, all the tales are strictly moral,
and yet are not so straight laced as to occasion any
,violent distaste to the hunter after light reading.
The names of Mrs. HEmANs, IlEaNnto BAnToN,
L. E. L. and the Rev. H. MrLmAN, are found in
the list of contributors to The Amulet, while
,the prose is equally distinguished by the
wOl known signatures, which are attached to the
different tales. Among the latter the author of
.The Lathirds is conspicuous ; his Martyrdom of
Agnes Morton is- an•interesting story, and sup.
.ports the reputation which he has justly acquired,
and•the rank which he holds among the writers
who unite history with fiction. \V subjoin some
stanzas by Mrs. 11-EMANS as a specimen of the
,poetry, and commend the Amulet to such of our
readers as hale friends to whom they wish to pre-
cent an agreeable new years remembrance.

THE TRUMPET.
The Trumpet's voice hath roused the land,
Light up the beacon pyre !
A hundred hills have seen the brand,
• And waved the sign of fire !
A hundred, banners to the breeze
Their gorgeous folds have cast,
And, hail( ! was that the sound of seas ?
Al king to war went past !
The chief is arming in his hall,
The peasant by his hearth ;
The mourner hears the thrilling call,
And rises from ti►e earth !
The mother on her first-born son
'Looks with a boding eye;
They come not back, tho' all be won,
Whose young hearts leaped so
The bard hath ceased his song, and bound
The falchion to his side ;
. E'en for die marriage altar crown'd,
The lover quits his bride !
And all this haste, and change, and fear,
By earthly clarion spread !
-..How will it be when kingdoms hear
The blast that wakes the dead ?

A DREADFUL MONSTER in human form—an as-
sassin who had no fewer than nine murders proved
against him, besides numerous robberies, was
lately hung and quartered in the Havannah, after
nearly escaping condign punishment through the
protection he met with among persons of high
rank and influence, by means of money, no doabt,
which it was in his power to distribute
among those on whom his sentence depended.
He was condemned by the Courts three times,
and as often was he allowed to appeal ; at length
he was tried and condemned by a Court-martial,
when his sentence was carried into execution.
This is the way justice is administed in the
Colonies still dependent on Spain.—(Morning
Chronicle.)

DRATII Or MRS. CARTER.—Ii will be recol-
lected that Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, of Rochester-
row, Westminster, who had beets committed for
cutting and stabbing her husband, James Carter,
with a carving knife, but discharged at his
anxious request, on the 24th ult., he declaring
that he bare no towards her. Ever since
her liberation a visible change has been observed
in her manner. She dreaded her husband's
returning home, and is said even to have
prayed that she might never live to witness it.
Whether her prayer has been answered it would
be presumption to say, but, strange to tell, she
died about 12 o'clock last night, and without
any apparent cause from illness. Her husband
was hrought from Westminster Infirmary this
morning to behold her corpse-, the contemplation
of which agitated him very much.

A Cunious PIG.-There is now in the pos-
session of Mr. Charles Knell, of Wateringbury,
near Maidstone, in Kent, a very curious pig,
weighing only fourteen ounces ; it is seven inches
in length, from the snout to the end of the tail,
five inches and a half round the body, and three
and three-quarters inches in height, the head
rather large, in perfect health, can squeak loud
and run fast, and thrives well ; the colour is
quite white ; the pig is now six days old. The
sow has six others of the usual size,

KINGSTON, OCT. 15.--Tun Com 1.T.---This
nocturnal visitor has been very conspicuous for a week past,
rising more early every evening, and has passed during that
period twenty-two degrees in a direction nearly west. Its tail
has now a curve to the eastward of north. It is proceeding to-
wards the constellation of the Swan, and will go above the bright
star in Phenix. Before the end of another week the moon will
most probably deprive us of its view in the evening. Its ap-
parent situation now is in the direction S.E. by S., altitudeN-S.,
declination XI, and right ascension 15.
On Friday evening last, as Mr. CHAS. FAttitylv,
the youngest son of Mr. P. FA RR EN, acting ma-
nager of the Haymarket Theatre, was returning
home up the Islington-road, he sass three' -Men
in the act of stealing a piece of goods from the
door of a linen-draper's shop. The arm of
one of the thieves was stretched out to seize
the goods, when Mr. Farren ran across the
road and thrust himself with all his force against
the fellow, so as to knock him down ; but, un-
fortunately, before the persons in the shop could
reach the door, the thieves had tied. As kwas
apprehended that they might be on the watch
for this young gentleman, a person was sent to
accompany him home ; but meeting no one by
the way, he dismissed his companion, when,
in a lonely place near Finsbury-square, where
not another person was passing, the three
fellows waylaid him, and struck him a dread.
ful blow on the right eye, which stunned him.
Before he could recover himself they wade
off ; when rising from the ground, Mr. Farron
found himself covered with blood, and it was for
some time feared that he had lost his eye, but
his sight is now perfectly restored, and he is
doing well,

[MORNING POST.]

Paris Journals-to the sth installl, and the Etoile
of Monday, reached us last night by Express.
The only subject which engrosses the attention
of the French public at present, is the acquittal
of the Constitutionnel, which will probably be
followed by that of the Courier Francais. In-
deed this acquittal is the more important as it
was not pronounced by a Jury, Juries not being
allowed in trials for tendance, but by the Judges
themselves. The Etoile of Sunday, we now
find, only told us the nature of the decision,
but abstained from entering into any par-
ticulars respecting the manner in which it
had been delivered and received, and the grounds
on which it was founded. We shall supply the
deficiency out of the Journal des Debuts; for the
arret of the Court is one which does it the
greatest honour, and not only establishes its cha-
racter for spirit and independence, but strikes a
mortal blow at the hopes of the Jesuits, and
secures France for ever against all further
attempts at their restoration. After having
retired for about three quarters of an hour,
during which the crowd round the Palace of
Justice grew enormous (the interior and all the
avenues had long since been filled), the Judges
resumed their seats at half-past three o'clock on
Saturday. The most profound silence immediately
prevailed, and all awaited with something ap-
proaching to religious awe, the oracle which the
Court was about to deliver.

ROYAL Hun-T.—On Monday morning a fine deer was turn-
ed out at Burnham, in Buckinghamshire. A large field of
sportsmen attended, although the weather was wet. The deer
at starting made several turns through the inclosures towards
Maidenhead, taking to the left near the Thames, which is very
high at this time. The deer leaped into the river near Surby
Hall, and came down the river till close by Windsor-bridge,
when he came out of the river to the right on the gossels. The
aportsmen and hounds followed the deer down the river, on both
sides the Thames. The hounds, and most of the sportsmen,
came over Windsor-bridge, and through Windsor. The deer
made several attempts to take shelter in different premises at
the back of Windsor ; he got into Mr. Bannister's cowhouses,
but being turned out from thence, he ran through the different
gardens and inclosures by the Cavalry Barracks. The hounds
when set on had lost the scent, but found it in a short time.
The deer was taken to the left of Clewer, after good sport for
upwards of two hours.*:-The King's stag-hounds turn out again
on Friday, near Virginia Water.

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday was the day appointed for the final examination
of Mr. hsett, Mr. Rigaud, and Miss Gardner, who arc
charged with procuring, by false and fraudulent representa.;
tions, letters of administration, to the goods of one Joseph Rici,
or Ricci ; and with withdrawing a portion of his property from
the Bank of England, by means of forged Powers of Attorney.
The evidence, which has been given, appeared in a former
number of THE Suw. Yesterday morning, when the case
was called on, Rigaud was alone placed at the bar.—Mr.
HARMER, who appeared as solicitor for all the prisoners,
requested the Magistrates would postpone the -further inquiry
until next Friday week, assigning as a reason, that they re,.
quired that time to prepare themselves for a defence. The
request was immediately complied with. On the last ex-
amination Rigaud applied to Mr. Freshfield for certain re.
ceipts, &c., which had been taken from his pocket, what
he was apprehended. He renewed his application, and said
that one of the receipts was the one given him by Miss Gard-
ner, when he paid her the produce of the stock, which he
transferred at her request, and for his services she gave him 51.
This receipt, he said, was necessary for him to produce in his
defence on the trial.—Mr. Freshfield promised that the receipt
should be forthcoming on the trial, but he would keep it in his
possession until that time.—The prisoners were then ordered to
be brought before the Magistates on Friday week.

TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARK.
George Shoultr, who resides in Webb-street, Bermondsey,
appeared to answer to a summons, for having detained two
bills of exchange for 1001. each. Mr. Theophilus Antrim, who
resides at 96, Tooley-street, a smith, stated, that he gave the
two bills to Shoults to get discounted; they were drawn on
Peter 'ragg and Jonathan Whittaker, and will be due on 14th
of January next, together with a 5/. note, which, we suppose,
was intended as a remuneration for his exertion. Since that
time, neither bills ncr money have been forthcoming, and when
asked for them, Shoults stated, that he had given them to
Bowie, who then had them. This was disproved by Bowie,
who, it seems, is a lodger in Shoults's house ; he said he had
seen the bills, but had immediately returned them to Shoults.
The Magistrate declined interfering between the parties.

The French Papers of Sunday, which arrived
last night, 'contain nothing of the slightest im-
portance. They are filled chiefly with the re-
port of the proceedings against the Constitutionnel,
and give•a copy of the judgment of the Court, by
which that Journal was acquitted. This decision,
it appears, was received by the populace with
cheers, and cries of Vice le Roi, Honneur a 1(s
Cour Royale de 1331'1.8, Vice la Charte, &c.
The Constilutionnel is disposed to enjoy its
triumph with great moderation. Its - paper of
Sunday contains but a short notice of the pro-
ceeding? and that is couched in terms which re-
flect the highest credit on the Editors and Corn-

The French Papers of Monday arrived this
morning, and hrin.z some important intelligence
from Spain. The following are extracts:—
" MADRID, Nov. 24.

" The King has nominated M. Echanove, Bishop
of St. Ildefunso, to the Archbishopric of Tarra-
gona, vacant by the death of M. Creus, one of the
Members'of the Regency of Urgel. The King
has also appointed M. Zea Bermudez his Minis-
ter Plenipotentiary to the Court of Dresden, and
he has been instructed to depart instantly.
" The report is current that the Escurial Pa-
lace has taken fire. It will be very difficult to
arrest the progress 6f the flames, although there
is very little wood in the building because of the
want of water, and the very few inhabitants in
the village and near it. Nothwithstanding, this
edifice is only remarkable for the quantity of
stone used in its erection, its destruction by fire
will be a great calamity because of the pictures
and ornaments it contains, of which the loss will
be irreparable.

" P. S. There is no doubt hut that the Escu.
rid is on fire, but we cannot give the details by
this Courier.

" VITTORIA, Nov. 17.

" The day beforc. yesterday the Lieutenant-
G eneral-in-Chief of this province received orders,
by an extraordinary courier, to arrest a person
who is expected to pass by this place.
" PARIS, DEC. 5.

" It is said that Mayence is about io become
the seat of an Archbishop, and that this high ec-
clesiastical dignity will be conferred upon the
Archduke Rod°lph of Austria.

" The Memorial Bordelais announces that it
is certain that the 'Marquis de Mataflorida has
not Keen able to obtain permission to go to
Madrid. M. Ugarte has recived counter orders.
" M. A. de Rothschild is ttbout to go to Cashel
to establish a bank for discounts. It is believed
that the Grand Duke has placed at his disposal a
sum of five millliou of crowns from his privy

p u rse."

The Lisbon Gazettes to the 26th of November,
inclusive, were received this day. They contain
nothing but the subjoined Alvara, giving effect
to the commercial clauses of the Treaty lately
concluded between Portugal and Brazil.

LISBON, Nov. 21.—(OFFICIAL.)

1, the Emperor and King, make known, to all who shall see
the present Alvara, that to give my faithful subjects a new
proof of my solicitude to promote their prosperity, and to pro-
tect the important branches of agriculture and con•rnerce,

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

Undoubtedly we have reason to pride our-
selves on living in a land of justice when we see
it coolly stated in a prosecution, as nothing ex-
traordinary, as nothing new or strange, that a
rich man having coveted the little estate of three
sisters, purchased the portion of one of them in
the joint property, and then, by due process of
Equity, by filing a bill to compel partition,
ruined the other two, and threw them into a gaol
Something more was yet to be done—they were
to be outlawed, in order that the property might
pass to the Crown, whence it might be leased to
Dives, who, it is alleged, wanted it as an addi-
tion to his grounds. To uffect this purpose writs
were to be issued to the Sheriff, commanding him
to take the two sisters into custody, and returns
were to be made to these writsoleclaring-, that they
were not to be found in the bailiwick of the Sheriff;
all which was done according to order, though
both these oppressed women—these victims of
Equity, were in the bailiwick at the time,one being
actually in the Sheriff's custody in the county pri-
son, where her good conduct promoted her to the
station of matron of the gaol, and the other endea-
vouring to earn a livelihood by carrying on the
business of a small school in the immediate neigh-
bourhood, and never quitting that school but to
visit her sister in the gaol. The property, by
virtue of the measures taken by Dives, and the
returns of the Sheriff, became vested in the Crown,
and was ultimately leased to the rich man, who
required it, as it is stated, for his improvements,
and obtained them by such righteous means. For
the injury they suffered through the false returns,
the sisters brought their action against the Sheriff,
and recovered damages of eight pounds, and costs
of forty shillings ! The law, we must take it for
granted, could do no more for them. The law,
used for their oppression, had stripped them of
'their little patrimony, and conducted them to a
gaol ; but the law for their redress could only
award them.the miserable compensation of 8 pounds
for the last addition to such a heap of injuries!
So terrible is the law when perverted to wrong,
and so insufficient when the instrument of
' redress. We earuestly beseech our readers

to turn their attention to this case, reported
in our Paper of yesterday (see Common Pleas,
Anna and Charlotte Jenkins v. - Bidduiph,
Esq.) The statement, as it concerns Dives, is
ex-parte, it is to be observed, but we cannot be-
lieve it possible that such a statement can have
been lightly hazarded by an Advocate. If there
are grounds for it, the public indignation should
be directed against the law which, in the hands
of the rich, may be rendered so cruel an instru-
ment of oppression, and its generosity should re-
pair the private injury which has been so un-
worthily, so mercilessly inflicted, in this instance.

STEAM GUN.—At the early hour of eight yes.
terday morning the neighbourhood of the lte-
gent's Park was aroused by the loud and
reiterated explosions of PERKINS' Steam Gun,
in his manufactory there. The noise was very
different from that produced by the ignition of
gunpowder, in a tube of the same calibre. It
often resembled a very rapid running fire of
musketry, accompanied with a rushing sound or
roar, that quite deafened tle unaccustomed ear.
Placards was borne about in the immediate vici-
nity of the spot to warn passengers of what
was going on. We found on inquiry that
the Duke of WELLINGTON, with the Chief
Officers of the Ordnance Department at Wool.
wich, were expected to see a trial made of
this formidable instrument of destruction, with a
view of forming an opinion of its efficacy in ac-
tual warfare. About nine, the Duke, and a
numerous party of Officers of Engineers and Ar-
tillery, entered the manufactury, which being
closed to all strangers, we had no opportunity of
discerning what opinion was entertained respecting
its adaptation to the service. They continued se-
veral hours, and if its destructive weapon can be
judged from the appalling impression caused by
the explosion, it must be terrible indeed. We
are glad to find that Government have not
overlooked this remarkable invention, which is
perhaps destined to change the art of war once
more. We have been shewn a calculation of the
comparative advantages in point of economy only
compared with gunpowder, should it be made
available for the public service. Suppose 250
balls are discharged in a minute by the
singly barrel steam gun, or 15,000 per hour, this
for 16 hours would require 15,000 oz. of gun-
powder per hour, or 1.5,0001 b. weight, for the 16
hours. The expense of gunpowder being 70.
per cwt. or 351. per thousand, is 525/. Mr. PER-
KINS says that he can throw that number of balls
in successsion for the price of five bushels of coal
per hoary or-between 31. or 41. only for 16. hours.

UNION-HALL.

Mary Macdonald, ;Wed-known character in Kent-street,
was charged with having decamped from her paramour, leaving
him in the arms of Somnus, on Sunday morning, with a hand-
some silver watch, a comb, a waistcoat, and two handkerchiefs.
lie stated, that when he awoke he missed the prisoner with the
before-named articles, and after searching Kent-street and the
Mint, they succeeded in tracing the fair fugitive, with the
whole of the spoil on her person. The prosecutor, who seemed
to have a penchant for the prisoner, said it was not his wish
to prosecute, but to obtain his property, and as that end was
obtained, he would not further injure her. A second charge
was preferred against her by Kendall, the night constable,
who permitted her to repose in his watch-house on Friday
morning last, thal on retiring she contrived to carry away a
pair of shoes that had cost him Ils., and had been worn but
four hours. A third charge was preferred by Mr. Wright,
a shoe-maker in the neighbourhood, who stated that the
prisoner purloined a pair of shoes from his shop a few
evenings ago, while pretending to make a purchase. The first
charge having been abandoned, and the last not being sub-
stantiated, the prisoner was remanded on the second charge
only, to give time to the Ofiice to trace the property.

TROTTING MATCH.

The great attempt Of Mr. H. L. Waterhouse, of Lambton,
to trot his Georgina mare, 28 miles and a hall' in two hours, in
harness, was made over four miles of ground between Hockerill
and Huntingdon, at daylight, yesterday morning, for a stake
of 1000 sovereigns, between Mr. W. and his party. Rather
more than 28 miles has been accomplished in the time, but
never this distance, although the mare did the 20 miles faster,
perhaps, than ever It was trotted, as will be seen by reference
to the figues. Bottrel,a groom, drove—

The Rev. Mr. FLETCHER had an exhibition on
Sunday evening last on the top of the Calton Hill ; and, as the
evening was fine, he had a very numerous audience--or rather,
attracted by curiosity, the weather, and the delightful nature of
the scene, the crowd which surrounded him was strikingly
great. Some liked his discourse, some thought it declamatory,
some blasphemous. All agreed that his lungs were sound;
and we can vouch that the crowd, which broke up into pic-
turesque masses on the bill, were about half an hour in being
disgorged through the pass at the bottom of the steps in front of
Bifre ithuson the promenade, were

the effect the short compass of his voice would admit of. The
Doctor also supported several of the other tenor parts ; the only
omission was the air, "Thou shalt break them," which re-
quires great compass of voice, and 11,43FIlarrry was not able to
take its:owing to his having so many rillfsolos in the- Oratorio,
which he supported in a very masteclrghil effective manner.—
The other solos .and verse parts we ably supported by Miss
Stephens, Miss Travis, and Mr. W. Knyvett. The Chorusses
were very full and effective. The band' was ably led by Mr.
Cramer, and conducted by. Professor Clarke Whitfield.
