thbught it not improbable that the Great Perso:-

of. the Directors:, in India, if any one of diem
could he base enough to recommend the carrying
on a liising trade from that motive, it -‘votild be
exactly the :ante after the loss of-the .trade as W-
fora. They' must, , however; feel much for the
meritoridus servants in their warehouseshere, who
might be then reduced to want. Oat, of what fund
could any compensation to them eome ? They
Must feel also ,for the many excellent naval of 7 '
fieers 'in the Company's service • (but . who
were not appointed by the Directors) who might
thus be turned out of employment. They must
feel much for their brave Officers, by laud as well
as by sea, who had retired after a long service,
some of them covered with wounds, and all of
them With glOry. Was it to be eXpeetd that
'Government would ever give them that liberal and
noble allowance which the Company did, and
which was far superior towhat the servants of the
country received from its Government ? He would
also allude to the noble establishment at Poplar,
where the widows of even petty officers and sea-
men found a retveat, which was supported by con-
tributions from the Company's ships', and which
must falUif their trade fell. • The Ditectors must
naturally feel for that great Empire,' and •that im-
portant commerce which was trusted to their ad-
ministration, and which they conceived would be
ruined by the measures now, in contemplation.--
If the Company was ruined, where was the in
deamity to come from ? Lord Melville had va-
lued their stock at 200,000,0001. What would the.
country, what would those• merchants and manu-
facturers think, if they were called upon for an
indemnity fin a loss to that amount ? He con-
cluded by making some observations in reply to
the Speech of Mr. Home.
The original liesolutions were then put, and
carried unaniinously, with the exception, as we
believe, of Mr. Hume only.---Adjourned.

We are, requested to state, in contradiction to '
the advertisements and paragraphs that have ap-
peared in the party
.journals, that the clergy of the
diocese of Exeter have in fart petitioned against
the *amen Catholic claims. The contrary asser-
tioh rests only on the impudent attempt of some
anonymous individual, who conveyed to the
attires where this petition, already sanctioned by
the most eminent ecclesiastical characters in the
diocese, lay for. further signat-res; another of a
contrary tendency. it, was of coarse either neg-
lected or destroyed. The party scribes, however,
speak of this unsigned and unauthorised composi-
tion, as containing the liberal and enlightened
sentiments (so they are pleased to term them) of
a large and respectable body of the clergy. What
are the merits of a cause, that tints calls impty,
deuce and
,falsehood to its aid ?
The Meeting of the Borough of Leeds, to peti-
tion Parliament against the Roman Catholic
Claims, which took place on Friday last; was,
perhaps, the most numerous and' respectable ever
held in that `Borough. Time place announced by
advertisement (the Moot-Hall) was found to-
. tally inadequate to contain the numbers assembled.
On the motion of Mr. York, the Mayor was called
to the Chair, and Mr. Y; moved an adjournment
to the Choir 'of the Parish Church ; which ad:.
journment took place immediately, Resoltitions
and a Petition to Parliament, against the Roman
Claims, were carried by a very large majority.
Mention has been made to us, and written 'par-
ticulars conmunticafed of a very. suspicious Meet-
ing of Refinances, late 011 Thursday night, et
Huddersfield. The assembly bad a head cf 'some
notoriety, hat its component parts were otherwise
of the lowest lahble. A military officer,. We hear,
seized their papers, and the whole of the assem-
bly were the following day taken before that inde-
fatigable Magistrate, Mr, Radcliffe. The impers
were transmitted to Government. ---(l4"rigltra

CLONMEL, JAN. 16.—0 n Saturday, the Oth in-
faant, about Ale hour of two o'clock, in tin. ab"
sence of Mr, Hamerton and his son, and his men
servants, six armed men attacked the dwelling
house of .Mr. Ilamerton, at Orchards-Town, and.
several others were seen guarding the different
approaches to the _house, and bad seized some la-
bourers that were going towards the dwelling-
bouse. The fellows nut succeeding in their at-
tempt to get in at the hall door, were observed to
go quickly, idiom the house, and their -Mention
being suspected by the Miss Ilamertons, who were
looking out at the parlour windows, they with
great presence of mind, called out to lock the
back door, but i nding them already in the kitchen,
they locked and secured the door leading from' the
kitchen stairs into tile ludl, %%bleb was scarcely
done, when the villains
ru4lied up, and made an
effort to force the door, but being disappointed,
they went and procured implements to break it
open, and after a long time ,spent in an ineffec-
tual attempt, they at last succeeded in torch% one
of the pannels.---In the mean time the Miss Ile
merlons, with the arms they found loaded in the
house, had placed themselves convenient to the
door attacked, and upon the pannel being burst
in, one of them called to the villains to enter,
upon which the ruffians, alarmed and 4liralY4M,
Irrrniediately fled.
