[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]

We have received the Paris papers of Saturday,
and the Etoile, dated Sunday. The only im-
portant article of news they contain, relates to
the King of Spain, for whose life serious appre-
hensions are expressed, the gout having, it is
said, reached his stomach. This circumstance,
and not the prospect of a new loan, is probably
the secret of the rise that has taken place in the
Spanish Bonds ; but we would advise the specu-,
lators not to he too sanguine, as the probable
successor of the present Monarch has the reputa-
tion of being more fanatical than himself—more a
tool of the priesthood,and more likely to be a pup-
pet of the Holy Alliance.. Whilst any one of the fa-
mily is on the Throne, Spain will he a prey to the
worst evils of despotism, or to the throes of revo-
lution ; and, if this be of any real consequence
to us, her policy will be hostile to ours, an►l her'
geets, armies, and treasures, such as they are,
will be at the disposal of every Power that shall
atm against this country. It is, therefore, of
very little value to the Spanish nation, or the
people of England, whether Ferdinand gets over
the present danger, or succumbs to it; but when-
ever a scheme, which was once a favourite one of
some of the best Patriots of Spain, happens to be
realized, her soil will not only be cleared of
the Upas tree of arbitrary Government, but
her policy will be in unison with ours, and
she will occupy the very first place in the
rank of our friends.—At one time, the most
enlightened men in the Peninsula were desir-
otts‘ of melting down the Crowns of Spain and
Portugal into one, and placing it on the head of
sk- Prince of the II ouse of Braganza, who should
henceforth assume the character of a Constitu-
tiOnat King. If ever an emergency arises again,
favourable to the execution of this plan, it will
not, we imagine, be overlooked ; and it is pos-
sible that the Holy Alliance may create it. For
example, they would bring it about, were they
to urge the Court of Madrid to any hostile act
towards this country, in consequence of her re-
cognition of the New Transatlantic States ; or
should they attempt to put down violently our
influence in Portugal. If either of these steps
were taken, the plan we have mentioned would
be resumed to a moral' certainty ; and we assert
with equal confidence, that it would be-crowned
with success.

[BRITISH PRESSI
The Bill for suppressing the unlawful Associa-
tidos now existing in Ireland was read a second
time last hi-oc, after a discussion which, in
point of length and interest, fell much below
those which have preceded it. Indeed, the opi-
To"
.of Parliament has been so clearly expressed
as to this question, that there remains only the
consideration of the meanss-to effectuate the ob-
ject in view. Some of those minor Members of
the Opposition who could not obtain a healing
on the previous evenings of debate, raised their
voices last night against the Bill, but On the di-
vision the majority of votes was greater than ever.
For-the second reading there were (2.53 against
Amity 107, leaving a surplus majority in favour
-4flt.he Bill of 146 Members. The call of the
House was postponed for a week ; but it will be
tiotkid;by the numbers, that the House. was much
fuller than on any previous evening during tills.
Se result:is, that the more the friends
of the Catholic Association call for the opinion

of Parliament and the country, the more de-
cidedly it is expressed against them. We observe
that Mr. Grenfell thought fit to repeat the bold,
lord, and patriotic sentiment to which he gave
utterance a few evenings ago, viz. that " his dy-
ing prayers would be, that, if the Irish Catholics
resisted, they might be successful." If any
speaker or writer, out of Parliament, were, at
this peculiar moment, to endeavour to inflame
the Irish Catholics to rebellion, by preaching to
them the sacred duty of insurrection, he would
certainly and most deservedly be prosecuted for
sedition. Such an incendiary would, however,
expose himself to some risk in the act of scat-
tering his firebrands ; and, though we should
abhor the atrocity of his design, we could not
entirely despise him as a cowardly instigator of
others to mischief, in dangers of which he dared
not himself participate. But if there were a
Member of Parliament, who, forgetting all that he
owed to his country, should take advantage of
the shelter given to him by the law, for pur-
poses of a far different character, to incite a mis-
led and ignorant population to the resistance of
the King's Government and the authority of the
Legislature, and to offer up publicly his prayers
that the Empire might be torn to pieces by inter-
nal dissuasions and civil war ;—if there were such
a Member, we say, as this, to be found in Par-
liament, in what terms ought we to describe
him.

[MORNING CIIIiONICLE.]
We rejoice to see that the legality of setting
spring-guns will probably be discussed in the
House of Lords on Thursday, on the motion of
Lord Suffield, who has published a valuable pam-
phlet on the subject, to which we shall allude
more particularly on a future day. It is, in-
deed, time that this question should he set at
rest. The argument that game is property is the
only ground upon which the setting of these en-
gines can be defended ; nothing, however, can be
more fallacious than so to represent it ; and even
if it were property, the right of protecting it by
such means would still be questionable ; if game
were property, in the sense which any domes-
, ticated animal may be so considered, the owner
of it would be responsible for any injury that it
might do to the property of another person. If a
horse strays from his owner's field, and damages
the property of his neighbour, the horse may be
impounded, arid the owner is responsible for
the mischief; but, if pheasants and hares destroy
the farmer's crops, he cannot render the 'Squire,
on whose estate they were bred, or from
whose preserves they had strayed, responsible for
the injury. It is, therefore, idle to describe
game as property in the strict sense of the term,
though, undoubtedly, Parliament can make it
property as easily as it pronounced a pound note
and a shilling equivalent to a guinea. But if the
Country Gentleman be legally empowered to set
spring guns for the protection of his very ques-
tionable property in game, may not the farmer
be permitted to set spring guns for the protection
of his undoubted property in his crops, and what
an outcry would the 'Squires make were they
obliged by such a system of defence to abandon
theirfield sports ; how they would exclaim against
the farmer for resorting to a mode of protecting
his produce by which the life of a fellow crea-
ture, or of a hound, might be endangered,
and what lamentations would resound through the
land, what weeping, wailing, and gnashing of
teeth over a fox-hunter, cut off in the flower of
fox-hunting by the shot of a spring-gun planted
for the protection of the soil over which he was
riding, or of the fences which he was breaking
down in the prosecution of his innocent sport.—
The principle, therefore, that the protection of
property (even conceding game to be property,
which we deny) will justify any means deemed
necessary to its end cannot be consistently sup-
ported. What would the world say were the
Lord Chancellor to plant spring-guns at his
dinner table ? We say nothing of the extent of
public peril in such a case, but the principle
would seem unsocial and dangerous in the ex-
treme.

[MORNING POST.]
On the Resolution that 157,1761. he granted
for the ex pences of his Majesty's Dock-yards at
at home, Sir Edward Knatchbull last night com-
plained that artificers and shipwrights had been
discharged from the Dock-yards in Kent, whilst
those in Plymouth and Portsmouth were retained.
Sir G. Clerk explained that the superfluous hands
had been given the option of remaining to per-
form other sorts of work at a lower rate of wages.
They all concur red at first in that arrangement,
but last autumn the shipwrights in the Thames ex-
pressed dissatisfaction, and were told they were at
liberty toseek employment elsewhere, whilst those
of Plymouth continued to abide by the original ar-
rangement. Mr. II uskisson stated that there was a
great demand for shipwrights in the private yards
on the River Thames, but that owing to a spirit
of combination amongst them, and a desire to
dictate to their employers, numbers of them were
out of work. " if such conduct were persevered
in," addqd the Right Hon. Gentleman, " it would
go far to induce those who were most friendly to
the liberty of industry to call upon the House to
reconsider the measure of last year which had been
adopted with a view to the advantage of the work-
ing classes." We trust that this important hint will
not he lost on the individuals to whom it is meant
to apply, the more so as Mr. Ilume, the author
of the measure, himself declared, that " in al-
most every part of the country, in Manchester,
in Glasgow, and on the Thames, the workmen
had abused the privileges conferred on them by
a recent Act of Parliament. They were not sa-
tisfied with restraining their masters within equi-
table bounds, but would fain impose on them re-
strictions even more degrading than they had
themselves previously endured. lie trusted the
masters would succeed in rejectingsucfohlfiezgrns,
and that artizans would see they were
a track dangerous to the country, and ruinous to
themselves." It is evident, therefore, that if they
do not alter their conduct, there would be little
short of an unanimous di,position in the House
to abolish the privileges granted last year only
to be abused.

[MORNING HERALD.]
The gallery of the Howe of Commons was
aot opened yesterday till an hour later than

usual, owing to the call of the House being fixed
for such day ; but as soon as it was opened, it
was filled, though not inconveniently crowd-
ed.—• During the exclusion of strangers much
business was transacted. All the private business
was disposed of. Sir J. Newport then rose, and
stated (as we understand, for the exclusion of
strangers still continued), that as the object of
the call had thus far been answered, in accom-
plishing a full attendance of Members, it was
not requisite to enforce the order : but as it
would be desirable to secure a full attend-
ance of Members during the several stages of
the Bill, instead of proposing the discharge of
the order, he should move that it only be post-
poned. The Right lion. Bart. thereupon moved
that the House be called over on Monday next.
This was agreed to. The gallery was afterwards
opened. The noise was so great for a consider-
able time, owing to the various Members quitting
the House, the call requiring no further attend-
ance, that much of the succeeding proceedings
could not be distinctly heard in the gallery.—
Many petitions were presented by Mr. Brougham,
Sir Francis Burdett, and divers other Members,
against Mr. Goulburn's Bill ; and Mr. Brougham
urged on presenting one of them, as the House
had refused to hear the Association at their
bar, that time should be given the Catholics
to petition. He added, if such time were given,
it would not. be long before their tables were
covered with petitions. The Navy Estimates
were subsequently moved, in the course of the
discussions on which Mr. Hume protested against
the building yearly of so many ships, as if we
were afraid of the sudden combination of all the
world against us ; and contended that many of
those ships would be useless, in the event of war,
because the inventions connected with steam
would render any future warfare, particularly
that carried on in narrow seas, very different
from that of any preceding wars. The dis-
cussion on the second reading of Mr. Goul-
burn's Bill consequently did not begin till a late
hour. But the debate on the Bill, if debate it may
be called, was short and unimportant. Those who
took part in the discussion were " minor "
speakers, as they are termed at the House ; and
at an unexpectedly early hour, the House divided
on Lord Nugent's amendment, that the Bill be
read a second time this day six months. The
numbers were for such amendment, 107, against
it, 253 ; but a division on the second question
was not enforced. The minority is within one
of that on the motion for introducing the Bill.
After the result of last night, we apprehend
there must be some rather extraordinary occur-
rence to produce further debate on this measure
in the House of Commons. Discussion on the
question appears to be finished i❑ that House.

[New Times.]
When Mr. O'Connell first bestrode the " fine
animal," Cobbett, we thought it would prove a
dangerous hobby—we anticipated that the beast
would whisk his long tail in his rider's eyes, or
throw him in the mud ; and so it has happened.
Last November, as the Dublin Papers informed
us at the time, the sagacious Barrister moved
in the Committee of the Catholic Association,
" that a copy of all Mr, Cobbett's writings
should be purchased for the use of the Associa-
tion." This was of course ordered, without any
consideration of possibility any more than of pro-
priety. Mr. Cobbett is the most voluminous writer
of modern days ; but ninety-nine hundredths of
his works have unfortunately flitted to that
C( oblivious pool" whence " no traveller returns."
The erudite and curious, however, have pre-
served some Siby line leaves, which are quite
sufficient to cover poor Mr. O'Connell (albeit
unused to the blushing mood) with shame and
confusion of face. These pretty little cxcerpta
some kind friend has put together, under
the catching title of " Cobbett's Book of the
Roman Catholic Church," addressed " to
all sensible and just Catholics." The work is
to be comprised in four parts, of which one
has already issued from the press, " price three-
pence." We understand, that, when completed,
an elegant Dedication Copy, in Asses-skin, is to
be presented to the Learned Gentleman, with a
special request, on the part of the Editor, that he
will read it throughout, in the due emphasis and
discretion, to" the Liberal Club," the lueres
athi-
mus of all the follies of the defunct Catholic Asso-
ciation. In Chap.l.the " fine Animal" treats, in his
own masterly way," of the Roman Catholic Church
generally"—interspersing,ut sous est mos, sundry
facetious hints about a Lady in scarlet, whose-
profession shall be nameless—as well as about
" tying people to stakes and roasting them"—
Monks living in " dens of laziness and de-
bauchery"—the travels of " the Virgin Mary's
House at Loretto"—and many other topics offen-
sive in the highest degree to sincere and con-
sciencious Catholics. The (2,d and 3d chap-
ters treat of " the office of Pope," and give
a sketch of the lives of " sundry Popes of
Rome." If the Liberal Club follow up Mr.
O'Connell's motion, by circulating this part of M r.
Cobbett's works, they will do more than all the
Bible Societies have yet been able to accon►{)lish
towards obliterating all respect for the "
Visible
Head " of the Catholic Church, from the minds
of the Irish peasantry ; for, upon the authority
of a book recommended by the Catholic Associa-
tion, they will shew that 44 the tradition which
made St. Peter travel to Rome is purely apocry-
phal;" that consequently the Popes have, without
any ground a hatever, assumed " the pompous
titles of successors of St. Peter ;" that they have
been " the most aba►►doned and flagitious of
mortals"—" monsters of immorality," and have
given " occasion, by their example, to the per-
petration of all sorts of wickedness,
de-
lusion, oppression, robbery, tyranny, murder, and
Cob-
bett follows up by Mr. massacre"—which horrible statements
imposture,
to detail, against Popes Stephen VI J ohn XI.,
John XI 1., Boniface &c. The 4th chapter
attacks the" tenets of the Church of Rome ;" and
specific charges, too shocking
declares that ‘' no Sovereign can be safe, no
people virtuous, where principles of so infernal a
nature are recognised and inculcated;" and adds,
" if that Church is again restored to unrestricted
power, how easily will it find excuses for reviving
its ancient decrees !" Lastly; the sth chapter

assails the " Monks and Friars" in a body, with
the most scurrilous invectives, declaring them
all to be " a set of impostors," " impudent,"
and " hypocritical," who subsisted by playing
" farcical tricks," and who have but one single ob-
ject in view—namely, that of " living well upon
the labour of others." " This," says Cohbett,
"is with them the law and the Gospel." Such
are the writings which Mr. O'Connell ener-
getically pronounces to be " peculiarly calcu-
lated to meet the common sense of the
people" ! Such are the writings recommended
for general circulation by the Irish Catholic
Association ! And be it remembered, that that
Association purported to act in the name of
all or nearly all the Catholic Peers and Gentry
of Ireland—Nay, of all, or nearly all the Irish
Catholic Bishops and Archbishops ! What these
venerable persons will say to Mr. Cobbett's Book
of the 1-tornan Catholic Church we know
not—flow Mr. O'Connell will venture to
look them in the face after they have read it,
we can still less conceive—but one thing we hold
to be most certain, namely, that they are under
the deepest obligation to Mr. Goulburn for
breaking up a firm, in which they were included
as sleeping partners with Mr. O'Connell and his
" fine animal."

EDINBURGH, FEB. 18.

DESTRUCTION OF STOBBS' POWDER 3IILLS.

We regret to have to record one of the most
frightful accidents that has occurred in this neighbourhood for
a considerable time. A few minutes before eight o'clock yes-
terday morning, the drying-house of Stobbs' powder-mills, si-
tuated about four miles south-west of Dalkeith, blew up with
a terrible explosion, and almost instantly thereafter the " re-
lief house," or store room, exploded in a manner still more
terrific. Cornwall, a very respectable workman, who has been
about thirty years employed at the works, was in the drying
house, removing a quantity of gunpowder. At the door stood
a small waggon, attended by a man named Matthew Thom-
son, who was occupied in conveying the powder, in casks,
from the drying house to the other building, called the
" relief," about thirty feet distant. How the accident
originated, cannot exactly be ascertained. The first explo-
sion certainly took place in the drying house, of which
scarcely a stone remains in its original position, being
scattered in all directions. At three o'clock, yesterday, part of
the mangled remains of Cornwall had been found. The
head and some parts of the body of Thompson were also found
at some distance. It is, however, very difficult to say to which
of the bodies the fragments that have been discovered
belong. Our reporter saw part of the intestines of a man drawn
from a burn that runs near by ; also part of a body picked up
in a field nearly a mile distant. The horse which stood in the
waggon was killed. It was hurled to a distance of forty feet,
and the shoes of the fore and hinder feet of that side which
was next the door of the house, were torn off. A large punc-
ture was visible in the animal's side, as though something
had pierced through the body. It is scarcely possible to de-
scribe the effects of this awful explosion on the buildings and
trees adjacent. The houses for carrying on the various
branches of the work stand detached, and at a consider-
able distance from each other ; but, with one exception, all
are more or less injured, either in walls or roofs. Some of
the latter are completely driven in by the tremendous concus-
sion, but no part of the machinery seems to be injured. The
houses in which the explosions took plrce are entirely destroyed.
Many of the stones beloning to them are driven into the earth
to a considerable depth. Most of the glass in the windows at
Stobbs' village, and at Gorebridgc, are shattered—many of the
casements forced in, and the tile-roofs partially, and in some
cases completely destroyed. The trees in the neighbourhood,
many of which are of considerable size, are shivered as if by
lightning. To persons on the spot say the scene was truly ter-
rific. Several leapt into the water for safety, others were
beaten to the ground by the concussion, and for a time no
one had courage to enquire the extent of the devastation.—
People who were on the high road were completely actounded,
and felt a sudden pressure, of which they could not discover
the cause, till a huge column of black smoke, mixed with large
stones, &c. rose from the valley, like the irruption of a volcano,
and completely darkened the firmament. The shock was felt at
Edinburgh, at Lauder, and at Haddington. At Dalkeith one
of the bells tolled, from the concussion of the air; and in Mus-
selburgh several panes of glass were broken. The two unfor-
tunate sufferers bore respectable characters. Cornwall was an
elderly man. his family have arrived at maturity, but he has
left an aged widow. When a similar accident occurred at these
mills about eighteen years ago, he was severely burnt. Thom-
son was a younger man, and has left a widow and five young
children to bewail his untimely end. Such portions of the re-
mains of these unfortunate men as have been discovered are to
be interred to-day. Several persons received contusions from
stones—and a shoemaker, sitting at work at Gore-bridge, had
his head cut by a piece of glass forced out of his window. Such
are the facts our reporter, who was on the spot a few hours
subsequent to the explosion, was able to collect. On the au-
thority
of a correspondent at Dalkeith we subjoin
[ANOTWER ACCOUNT.]
DAI.KEITIf, FEB. 17.—" A few minutes before eight o'clock
this morning, the cylinder in the drying-house at Stobbs' powder
mill blew up with a dreadful explosion. A man in the house, and
a carter,who was loading his cart at the door,were blown to atoms.
Their hands and feet were found at a great distance. The
horse was thrown 30 feet from where lie stood and killed—the
cart blown to shivers. The house was razed to its founda-
tions and no vestige of a building left save the scattered stones,
many of which were of_great weight, and in falling ploughed
the earth to a considerable depth. Houses situated at the dis-
tance of a mile had their roofs damaged, and the tiles and win-
dows of the surrounding villages were generally injured. In
Dalkeith and Musselburgh the explosion excited general con..
sternation. Many people. in these places imagined that their
own dwellings were about to fall and crush them. I lost no
time in visiting the scene of disaster, you may therefore depend
on the accuracy of this report. ( Edinburgh Star. )

SUSPENSION BRIDGE OVER TIIETYNE.—A pub-

North Shields, on Wednesday the 23d inst., to resolve upon
the adoption of measures for carrying into effect the proposed
formation of a Patent Wrought-Iron Suspension-Bridge, in-
tended to he erected near the mouth of the river Tyne, from North
to South Shields. Several private preliminary meetings have
already been held, and such is the state of feeling already ma-
nifested towards the undertaking, that little doubt is enter-

the bridge will be 83,7001., and the time completing it within
two years. _

THE GRAVE OF BLIONAPARTE.—ft will be re-
collected that the remains of Napoleon Buonaparte were in-
terred in a retired spot about three miles from the town of SC.
Helena, and near a well, from which water was procured for hirs
at his particular desire. It is stated that the land on which this
interment took place belonged to a Mr. Richard Torbet, wh°.
is in the habit of supplying ships which touch at the Island
with provisons and live-stock ; that Mr. Torbet allowed the body'
to be buried on the request of the Authorities, without any condi-
tion or stipulation ; that subsequently a guard was placed over it, ,
and a temporary barrack erected ; that he urged his complaint',
in a memorial, but got no redress; and that he then resolve"
to obtain payment in another way, and by charging a dollar
as a toll on all visitors, he expected to clear a sum of between
three hundred and four hundred pounds, the average number
of visitors to the grave being about fourteen hundred. He virs4
ordered however to discontinue this toil after it had been col-
lected fora short time. Hereupon he repaired to England,
order to claim compensation, and demanded 10001. for hisland•
It is now settled that he shall receive 5001. to be paid by the
East India Company on his return to St. Helena. If this story
be correct, there can be little doubt that the compensation l 5
liberal, unless indeed, land in St. Helena be peculiarly valuable::
Mr. Torbet could not have any right to found his estimate
value upon the possible profits which might have arisen. Leaving,.
out of the question the alleged irregularity in the occupation °I
the land which would constitute a trespass, he can have no Ps
claim to more than what would be a fair equivalent aspurclias"
money.—( Morning Chronicle.)
