OATHS AND DECLARATIONS.

We have been informed that a Catholic gentleman con-
nected with the London Press intends immediately to re-
publish as Editor, and with an editorial article, the Speech of
Mr. Steele, made in the Irish Catholic Association in the
year 1827, in which, as a Protestant, he assailed the combined
iniquity and absurdity of the oaths and declarations when taken
by Protestants, or any other sects of Christians, that the in-
vocation of saints and the sacrifice of the mass are superstitious,
idolatrous, and damnable.
A thousand copies of this metaphysical exposition were cir-
culated in England, under a vote of the Catholic Association,
in the interval between the Clare election and the passing of
the Relief Bill.

In one of his writings on this subject, Mr. Steele says
that—" even if the Catholics of Ireland and the empire were
to be relieved from the payment of tithes—that robbery in
the name of God—and of every other grievance, with the
exception of being compelled to endure the outrage on their
feelings by these Declarations, made either frim the Royal
Throne in the House of Lords, or under any other circum.
stances, he would consider them as nothing better than unma-
numitted slaves." " Lord Byron," says Mr. Steele, " calls
the Greeks a kind of Eastern Irish Papists,' and while the
Catholics, no matter what may be the extent to which former
disabilities have been removed, are compelled to pay tithes to
the clergy of a Church to the doctrines of which they do not
conform, and are insulted by these Oaths and Declarations,
they are only a kind of Western Greeks under a kind of
Western Turkish domination. Indeed the Western domina-
tion is more tyrannical in its essence than the Eastern, inas-
much as the Western Cabinet, being more enlightened than
that of Constantinople, the moral criminality is deeper than
that of the former domination of the Turks over the Greeks,"
_the time when Lord Byron wrote his " Chide Harold."

CANINE SPEED.—On the 80th of January, at
Brussels, about three o'clock, a sledge, drawn by five bill-
dogs, and a tilbury drawn by one horse, went out of the town.
The two vehicles were to race one against the other a given
distance—the former on the canal, and the latter on the usual
road, as tar as the Three Fountains. The dogs won the race,
having accomplished it in ten minutes less than the horse.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have received New York papers to the 2tl of February, from which
we give the following extracts :

" The insane movements in the London district of Upper Canada, re-
ported by the Rochester Democrat, are not confirmed, and the greater
part of the militia who were called out for the defence of this frontier,
are discharged and have returned home.

" NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 23—Burning of the Martnora and Cumberland
Steamboats.---A fire was discovered at an early hour this morning on
board the steamer Marmura, front Natchitoches, laded with cotton, 1,203
bales, which communicated with the Cumberland, laying on her star-
board side. The Marmara and Cumberland were wholly destroyed; the
Cumberland was light, the loss is estimated at about eighty thousand
dollars.

" The Detroit Morning Post of the 10th gives an account of another
revolution of the authorities of Upper Canada.

" The sloop George Strong, Captain Grimes, loaded with wood and
baskets, bound from Swan Creek to Detroit, was tired into several times
by the British forces while laying at Bois Blanc Island, opposite to the
village of Malden, and was ordered to enter that port on penalty of
being sunk. After landing, Captain Grimes with his crew, three in
number, all peaceable c►tizens of the United States were violently seized
by British armed subjects, and marched to a prison, where they were
confined for three days. While in prison their vessel was unloaded, and
plundered of every thing valuable.

On Saturday Alderman fables, the Chairman of the
City Police Committee, communicated to his brethren that
he had received the following note from Lord J. Russell :
" Whitehall, Feb. 23.
" Sir,—Observing that a Bill has been brought into the
House of Commons for improving the City Police, I think it
right to inform you, and I request you to communicate the
information to the City authorities, that Government is of
opinion that the Police ought to be placed under the Com-
missioners of the Metropolitan Police. Her Majesty's Minis-
ters, therefore, intend to propose a measure for accomplishing
this object.

"'I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
"J. RUSSELL."
The Committee immediately resolved to apply to the Lord
Mayor to convene a Court of Aldermen and a Court of Com-
mon Council forthwith on the subject of the communication,
which, although it excited little surprise, gave a great deal of
dissatisfaction to several of the members of the Corporation
who heard of the intention of the Government.

This movement on the part of the Government is looked
upon by many as the forerunner to great changes in the mu-
nicipal institutions of the City, by which the Aldermen will be
very deeply affected in their privileges. It was said in the
City in the course of the day, but upon very disputable autho-
rity, that Mr. Benjamin Hawes and Alderman Humphery ar©
to be two of three Commissioners to be appointed to act under
Colonel Rowan and Mr. Mayne.

THE DECAY OF TALLEYRAND.—It is now made
known, that the most extraordinary artist that ever ex-
isted is reduced to a state of mental as well as bodily imbeci-
lity. His career has been one of remarkable activity and
good fortune; he has ever been with the strong for the time
being, and, strange to say, has been trusted by every party.
He appears to have reversed Lord Bacon's aphorism, that
knowledge is power; with him power was ever knowledge.
He wanted no other reason for any particular species of go-
vernment, than the ability to maintain it ; and when that was
lost,he
saw not the slightest reason for attempting its conti-
nuance. The lengthened success of such worldly wisdom as
lie possessed is a marvellous circumstance, and will prove an
interesting fund for reflection hereafter.—Sunday Times.

GENTLZMEX'
ENCOURAGED by the spontaneous call of a
csnsiderable number of the Electors of Marylebone to fill
the vasancy which has oeeurred in the Representation of your Bo-
rough, I do not hesitate to respond to so flattering a proposal, and
to become a CANDIDATE for the honour of your suffrages. To
be thus invited by any portion of se powerful, enlightened, and
liberal a Constituency, I consider, in itself, a great distinction.
The favour which has been shown me on this occasion I can only
attribute to my strenuous support in Parliament of the principles
of civil and religious freedom, and of political, legal, and commercial
Reform.
The Vote by Ballot—the Extension of the Suffrage—the frequent
Responsibility of Parliament to the nation—the General Education,
and-Fre. Admission of the People to our National Institutions—the
Mitigation of the Criminal Code—and the Repeal of the Corn Laws,
have been the subject of my individual efforts, as well as of my votes.
I have also steadily supported the Repeal of the Window Tax, so
opnressively felt by the inhabitants of towns.
lam favourable to those sound principles of Poor-law Adminis-
tration which have prevailed in your own, and in the best regulated
parishes in the kingdom. But while I support every Legislative
measure which may encourage the freedom and independence of the
labourer, I am not pledged to a blind defence of the Machinery sad
details of the Poor-law Amendment Act; and I deprecate its ex-
tension to parishes like your own, whose magnitude, intelligence,
and existing system of representation, offer an abundant security
for the proper local management of their own affairs.
Whatever be the issue of the impending contest, I earnestly hope
that unity of purpose, as well as zeal and vigour, will charaeterise
the proceedings of Reformers, and ensure the triumph of their cause.
Cheered by the liberal support of many insolisited and unex-
pected friends. I shall strenuously engage in the contest, and endea-
vour to conduct it with the energy, firmness, and good temper
which ought always to be combined on sack occasions.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most bedient Servant,

SPARKLING CHAMPAGNE.
VILLIAM WALKER, highly estimating the
patronage which the public has long given to his mann-

Sectfullv to announce that he has at the present time a very large

whir
make it difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish it from the
first clans of Champagne made in France ; it may be had, with
other mites of excellent quality (especially Ginger, which is uni-
Z!"ally recommended by the faculty as an excellent stomachic), at

LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday Witt:TneaQswortit, a young man of gentlemanly
appearance, whose friends are of the highest respectability,
and well known on the turf, was placed at the bar before
Messrs. Combe and Hardwick, on a charge of obtaining
clothes, amounting to 341. 17s. 6d., from Mr. James Woods,
a tailor, in Howland-street, Fitzroy-square, on a fictitious
checque.
The prisoner acknowledged that he bad pawned the prin-
cipal part of the property for 4/. 10s.
Mr. Inspector Symonds, into whose custody the prisoner
was given, produced the checque, which was as follows :
" August 18, 1838.

" To the Manager of the Northern and Central Bank of
England, Liverpool—Pay Mr. Woods, or Bearer, thirty-four
pounds seventeen shillings and sixpence.
" 34/. 17s. 6d. " W. BEARDSWORTII."
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, admitted that he was
noo.aware that there was such a bank, and that he had merely
selected it from a list in the Directory as the one to draw
upon. He also admitted that he had never done business at
the bank in question, nor had lie at any time any money lodzed;
but still he said it was not his intention to defraud Mr. Woods
of a farthing, as be purposed writing to his friends, who. he
felt satisfied, would at once honour the cheque. He farthir
said be was compelled to pledge the articles through his being
without any money, and was ultimately remanded until Friday
next.

POWERFUL 'RAILWAY ENGINE.—Last week, the
largest locomotive engine ever made in Leeds, was tried cn
the Leeds P.nd Selby 1.1:61,vay, previous to its being sent to the
Paris and Versailles Railway, in France. With only one car-
riage and the tender, this engine travelled at the rate cf
sixty mile; an hour, and at the rate of twenty miles per hour,
with 140 tine, both on the level part of the line. • In conse-
que:xe of some improvement in the fire-box, this ermine
s:'crns to do its work with ease, as during the trial it prod; ced
more steam than was required, and with the fire-door kept
open.—Doncaster Gazette.

THE MAR

HUNGERFORD MARKET.
There was plenty of everything at this morning's market,
and a fine business was done. Fish : -Turbot, ss. to 20s. ;
Soles, 9d. to 2s. 6d. per pair; Salmon, 10d. to ls. 6d. per
lb. • Cod, 2s. 6d. to Bs. each, according to size and quality.
Meat :-Beef, 7d. to Bd. ; Mutton, 7-id. to Sid. ; Veal, Bd.
to 9d. ; Pork. 7?d. to 81d. per lb. Plenty of Vegetables,
and prices reasonable.
CITY FISH MARKET.
Fish to-day were in fair supply, and trade was good. Tur-
bot, ss. to 20s. Salmon, 9d. to ls. 6d. per lb. Cod, ls. 6d.
to Bs., 95., and 10s. Lobsters, Is. to 3s. each. Whitings,
3d. to Bd. each. Haddocks, 4d. to ls. each.
HAY MARKETS.
The supplies were considerable, and the demand was brisk.
Prices much as before. Old Meadow Hay, 90s. to 115 s. ;
new, 70s. to 955. ; old Clover, 115 s. to 1265. ; new, 7s. to
105 s. ; Straw, 425. to 455.
SPIRIT MARKET.
Rum is firm in price, but not much passing. Other kinds
of spirits.are unaltered. Although wheat is lower. British
spirits depending more on barley, which is scarce,.have not
declined.

WOOL MARKET.
The Wool sales do not progress with the spirit with which
hey commenced, and even the parcels which sell barely sup.
port former prices.
TALLOW MARKET.
P. Y. C. on the spot is quoted 475. 9d., and to arrive
465. 6d. to 465. 9d., and but little doing.
METAL MARKET.
There was not much demand for any description of Metals,
hut prices continue firm.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
These Markets are now very flat, and the tendency of
prices is downwards. To-day we had very few public sales.
B. P. Sugar is very devoid of business, and no exact quota-
tions can be given. Refined Goods are dull, and 345. 6d. is
the price quoted for fine crushed. Coffee, 1,550 bags Ceylon
were put up, but did not go with spirit, and prices, where al-
tered, are lower ; 260 bags Sumatra Coffee must be quoted
after the same sort. Tea, a fair business is doing at small profits
on sale prices. With the exception of Pepper, Spices are dull.
Rice is not so lively as it was, but cannot be quoted lower.
We have no public sales to-day of Sugar, except a small one
of inferior Manilla, which is hardly worth notice. Fur to.
morrow we have public sales of Coffee ; 139 casks Jamaica,
and 180 bags Ceylon. Cocoa, 175 barrels, and 60 bags Tri.
nidad. Pimento, 94 bags ; Sugar, 4,500 bags Mauritius ;
and Rice, 1,000 bags. The imports are to a fair extent.

Lord BROUGHAM, we know that Lord BROUGHAM

has good ground to complain of the Ministers ; and
while they, having given up the appropriation clause,
and consented in almost all things to take the law
from the Tories, have no earthly claim of superiority,.
in point of consistency, over Lord BROUGHAM to re-
commend them to the country, their Parliamentary in-
feriority is so great, that it is only common prudence
on the part of their immediate organs, whether poets
or prose writers, to abstain from widening the breach.
It is rather, therefore,. in a healing than exas-
perating spirit, that we wish again to remind them that
Lord BROUGHAM hid nothing whatever to do with
Mr. POULUTT THOMSON'S blundering Bill of last
year, of which a Morning Contemporary, a few days
ago, said Lord BROUGHAM was the author. That
was exclusively, we believe, the produce of IVIr. THONI-
SON s own brain, a presumption, which seems almost
infinitely probable by the Act being wholly imprac-
ticable.

Neither has Lord BROUGHAM distinguished himself
by his hostility to Lord DURHAM. He has attacked
the law advisers of Lord DURHAM by implication, very
severely, and it is to be regretted that their ignorance
or their inattention should have given Lord
BROUGHAM such strong legal and constitutional
grounds for condemning ordinances which we have
always held and still hold to be substantially just, and
not to be tried by legal precedents or constitutional
principles. Those legal advisers, in fact, deserve a
much more severe chastisement than they have yet re-
ceived, for they led Lord DURHAM into an error,
and gave the Tory House of Lords an opportunity of
glorvfying itself as the chosen guardian of Consti-
tutional freedom, while it only spited the Ministers
injured the Administration, and impeded the return of
order in Canada. We do not say that Lord
BROUGHAM might not have been operated on by a
desire to injure the Ministers ; we believe he was ; but
let the Ministers ask themselves what they deserve at
his hands.

Lord BROUGHAM defended Lord DURHAM on 1
the appointment of Mr. TURTON, which interests
Lord DURHAM, we believe, quite as much as the
Ordinances. It is understood that Lord DUR-
HAM never deceived Lord MELBOURNE as to
that appointment ; but always gave it out
that he would make it, but pledged himself not to
make the appointment here. If Lord MELBOURNE
were in any way deceived or disappointed on
that subject, it must have arisen from his own indiffer-
ence or inattention, not from any thing Lord D IMAM
ever did or said.
When the Ministers take a liberal course, in Lord
BROUGHAM they find a zealous defender and assis-
tant. We should wish to see them always united--
' and they would be so, if both did not study
personal pique and private feelings more than the
:4 EvistAiirritd. On the Irish Municipal Iii!1 Lord

UNION-HALL.

THE SUSPECTED MURDER AT MlTCHAM.—Yesterday, the
relatives of a man whose body was found in a field between
Mitcham and Streatham, and who was supposed to have met
with his death by unfair means, attended for the purpose of
getting the verdict set aside. They said that if the verdict
of " accidental death" were set aside, and one of " murder
by some person or persons unknown" were substituted, they
had no doubt but a discovery of all the circumstances attend-
ing the death of the unfortunate man would follow.
The Magistrate, in reply to the application, said that he had
no power to reverse the verdict of a jury, and that it was his
opinion the case was well investigated before they had come
to such a decision.
London, England, 1838-08-21

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Sarah Smith, apparently a member of the Gipsy tribe, was
brought before Sir FREDERICK ROE, charged with obtaining
two chemises, four gowns, three petticoats, one shawl, one
scarf, and two aprons frBm Elizabeth Frift and Frances Mar-
shall, living in service at 18, Salisbury-street, Strand, under
the false pretence of telling them their fortunes.
It appeared that on Saturday, the 11th inst., as the milk-
man was going his daily rounds, the complainants took oc-
casion to solicit his interest in procuring for them other situa-
tions, as they had given notice to their mistress of their in-
tention to leave their place. The gossiping had just concluded,
and while the milkman was crying " Cow" at the next door,
the defendant presented herself, requesting they would pur-
chase a few small articles she had for sale; or if they would
agree to an exchange for any cast-off clothes she would have
no objection, intimating at the same time that, as they were
about to leave, she could tell them their future fate, but not
without first obtaining some article of wearing apparel belong.
ing to both of them, fir the purpose of trying the certainty
and extent of their luck. They accordingly handed her a
portion of the above-named articles upon her promising to call
the next day, which she did, to congratulate one of the com-
plainants, to whom was prophesied not only a good place in a
very short time, but also an excellent husband. The ex-
pectation of such a happy change had such an effect, that they
readily agreed to hazard another chance by giving en increased
quantity of their toggery" to make another trial ; but upon
requesting to know the defendant's address, which she said
was in New-street, Old Kent-road, they subsequently found
there was no such person known there ; and when she came
for another batch of clothes, in return for gratifying the cre-
dulity of the complainants, she was given into custody.
The defendant denied that see professed any knowledge in
the mysterious art, and that the articles she had obtained were
only got in exchange for others. She was, however, sent to
hard labour as a rogue and a vagabond for three calendar
months.

HIS DAY)

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

William Thompson, a youth only sixteen years of age,
pleaded guilty to an indictment, charging him with burglari-
ously entering the dwelling-house of Peter Armand, a con-
fectioner, in the Borough, and stealing therefrom a bottle of
wine, two jars of marmalade, and other articles, his property.
The RECORDER, in passing sentence on the prisoner, said he
had been guilty of a burglary in the strictest sense of the
word. He had gained entrance to the house by means of the
sky-light, which was effected by the use of great force and
considerable skill ; so much so, that the Court was satisfied it
was by no means his first offence, although, from the dis-
tance of the place where he had formerly lived ( York),
no particulars had come to light of his earlier history.
By an Act that had recently passed, it was made imperative
on the Court, in the event of a conviction for an offence similar
to the prisoner's, to sentence the party to transportation for no
less a term than► ten years. Before he passed that sentence, how-
ever, he wished the prisoner to consider that he was young, and
that the country to which he would be sent afforded opportu-
nities of his becoming hereafter an honest member of society.
Though the sentence might appear severe, the prisoner must
recollect that the severity of it depended on his own conduct.
The prisoner was then sentenced to ten years' transportation.
George Dryden, who pleaded guilty to forging five orders
for the delivery of goods with intent to defraud John \Varner,
was sentenced to seven years' transportation.
John Wilson was convicted of burglariously entering the
dwelling of Mr. Cable, in Bermondsey, and stealing therefrom
a quantity of lead.
The RECORDER sentenced him to ten years' transportation.

TAE CASE OP EEITERHOFFER.
In this case in which Reiterhoffer, and a person named
Teuten, were indicted for a conspiracy by the Marquis o:
Downshire,
Mr. PHILLIPS stated that the Noble prosecutor had made
the affidavit which the Court suggested yesterday, and upon
that affidavit he asked for the postponement of the trial till the
October Sessions.
The RECORDER thought the application perfectly reason-
able, and ordered the case to stand over till the 22d of
October.
The Noble Marquis, who had come from Brussels in conse-
quence of the notice of trial he had received from the de-
fendant, was, together wits one of his sons, on the Bench.
Norah Collan, a young Irishwoman, was convicted of steal-
ing six sovereigns, the property of her master, James Devine,
and sentenced to ten years' transportation.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
A prisoner was arraigned on a charge of felony, but the
prosecutor not appearing, the Common Sergeant ordered
him to be discharged ; and the prosecutor not answering, his
recognizances were declared forfeited.
The cases tried did not possess any public interest.
