The Company of COPPERSMITHS, BRAZ I ERS,
and. ARSIOURERS, passed. through the Strand this
day, and exhibited some admirable specimens of
their art. Five men in copper and brass armour
•
on horseback, and many standards, with suitable
mottos, appeared -in the procession. They were
accompanied by bands of musicians, and were
followed by a numerous crowd; who were much
gratified by this interesting display of professional
ingenuity.and skill.
. The Gazette of Saturday night contain% an
order in Council, dated June 14, relative to a new gold and
sillier coinage. From this order it appears there will hi two
new gold coins of higher value added to the currency—viz.,
the five-pound piece, and the double sovereign, or forty-shilling
piece : all the other coins to remain at the same denomination
' and value as those at present in circulation
CHICHESTER, JUNE 111.—The Bishop's Primary Visita-
tion was held on Tuesday, in the Cathedral. Nearly the whole
of the Clergy of the Diocese were present. Mr. Turner preached
on the occasion ; after which an eloquent charge was delivered
by his Lordship.—His Grace the Duke of Norfolk arrived at
Arundel Castle, on Tuesday, from London.—On Thursday,
Lord Fitz Allen and Lord Edward, sons of the Earl of Surrey,
' arrived at Arundel Castle.—On Tuesday, James Hopkins,
Esq., Mayor of Arundel, gave his third quarterly dinner, to
the Corporation and Officers of the Borough.—An active canvas
is going on throughout the Rape of Bramber, in favour of Mr.
Howard, who will offer himself as a Candidate for New Shore-
. ham, at the next General Election ; Mr. Sugden is also a can-
didate ; and Capt. Webster and Mr. .1. Smith, are expected
to come forward ; Colonel Lloyd, one of the present Members,
intends to retire.
COWES, JUNE 111.—( Royal Yacht Club.)—Thursday was
launched from Mr. Ratsey's yard a yacht called the Nautilus,
of 103 tons admea.urement, of which Lord Grantham is the
owner, and we really think a more beautiful specimen of ma.
rine architecture was never before exhibited. The launch
afForded ample delight to an immense assemblage of spectators ;
amongst whom we noticed the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord
Grantham Sir George Thomas, Bart., the Messrs. Welds, and
several other Members of the Royal Yacht .Club. The late
fineness of the weather has brought groups. of families and
visitors to Cowes, and several of the yachts are observed daily
to be in motion. The sailing season may be said to be already
commenced. The Regatta, this year, is to be much diversified,-
as all the vessels which have won first prizes are to be permitted
to enter the list ; besides which,
.the yachts will sail for sweep-
stakes, and the poblic will have to view the interesting contest
between the Don Giovanni, London boat, and Capt. Edmund
Lyons' boat, -R.N. for 200 sovereigns a side.
The parish church of Bishop's Stoke, near
Winchester, was opened for Divine Service on Sunday xe'en-
night, having been entirely rebuilt. The exterior presents a
neat and substantial building with gothic windows, surmounted
by a tower bearing four pinnacles. The whole edifice is a spe-
cimen of sound judgment and correct taste, and reflects much
credit on the builders, Messrs. Brown and Folder, of Canon.
street, by whom the designs were also made. The building
was erected by subscription from the inhabitants, to which the
worthy Rector (Rev. T. Garnier) munificently contributed.
SUDDEN DEATII.—A 12 o'clock this day,
as an elderly gentleman named Baker, a Razor-maker and
Cutler, of No. 1114 Bishopsgate-street, was .proceeding into the
Court of King's Bench, on reaching the entrance at the top of
the steps, he suddenly fell down on his face and instantly ex-
pired.
At, the execution, this morning, there were
many thefts committed. On the drop falling the crowd began
to disperse, and the thieves commenced their depredations._
One person, a farmer, named Smith, of Sussex, lost his pocket-
book, containing a considerable sum ; another named Johnson
lost his watch ; and several complained of the loss of handker-
chiefs. A number of thieves were secured and taken to Guild-
hall.

BOW.STREET—(TXIIS DAY.)—A man named
William Connor was fully committed on a charge of stealing a
piece of pork from the shop of Mr. Careless, of Clare-street,
Clare-market. Mr. Careless is at length compelled to prose-
cute, in consequence of the frequent losses he sustains. Not-
withstanding he has. fire en outside his shop to prevent rob-
bery, no less than five or six attempts were made on Saturday
to steal. The above, however,. was the most daring one, and
consequently, for his own security, he adopted the above course
as a wanting to others.

DAILY
Extractsfrom the Mormag Pape, s, Jane 20, 1326.

[NEW TIMES.]
The Artisans in general have taken alarm at
the idea of a supposed intention, on the part of
the Legislature, to re-establish the Combination
Laws. We do not apprehend that any serious
intention of the kind exists ; but it would un-
doubtedly be desirable to revive the Common
Law on the subject, which was repealed by the
Act of last year. Masters and workmen should
he left at perfect liberty to Make such agree-
ments as they may mutually think proper ; but
if combinations take place, that liberty is more
or less restrained ; and if the combinations
are supported by force and outrage, it is an-
nihilated. We believe that the reflecting
portion of both parties, masters as well as
workmen, want nothing more than justice, and are
aware that this may always be attained without
force or artifice. Measures for raising or lower-
ing the wages of labour beyond the rate fixed by
the relative demand and supply must ultimately
prove fruitless, for the price paid for an article
has no necessary or fixed relation to the labour
bestowed on it, but is always determined by the
quantity of the article in the market. Workmen,
therefore, who wish to make the masters pay
more than they can afford for the fabrication of
an article, must ultimately injure themselves by
putting an end to their trade. Perhaps when
these plain and simple principles become familiar
to the minds of workmen, they will of themselves
put an end to those combinations, which are as
much useless as illegal.

['ruE TIMES.]
Something like a state of suspended ani-
mation appears -to have prevailed irl Ireland
since the last Catholic meeting. The news-
papers, indeed, are sufficiently agitated, bat
it scents to be by domestic jealousies and
quarrels : from them we learn little of the
public cause, or of the means in preparation for
advancing it. Yet, thlt resolutions were passed
by the Catholics for drawing forth engines of po-
litical warfare, there is the evidence of their late
proceedings. We trust that the measures about
to be adopted will prove themselves of the right
sort. Silence or acqiiiescence under injustice, no
friend of lihert y or ofihe constitution would recom-
mend to British subjects. No friend to law or so-
cia I order could see, Ns ithout the deepest alarm, a
numerous body of our fellow-subjects, conscious
of being harshly treated, yet neglecting to ar-
ray the constitutional means of discussion, co.ope.
ration, remonstrance, and petition for justice ;
because, althouelt it be not generally acknow-
ledged, the infliction of wrong and its main's.-
fiance by power are nothing less than direct
ap-
peals to force, which, if the sufferer meets not by
open complaint or argument, he is probably strii-
ing to counteract in secret by more pernicious,
thought not more efficacious methods. We shUuld,
therefore, be more afriad of a torpid than of a
ruffled surface,- in looking at the proceedings of
Irish Catholics, excluded as they have been from
the state. For despair of success by open and
laudable exertions, there is not a shadow of co-
lour. They must have observed, if of late the
Catholics had their minds about them, that what-
ever might be the decision of a legislative -assem-
bly, detached in a great measure from the body
of the nation, that branch of the legislature which
represented the people of England, fled which
is, in truth, identified with them, did.aCenally-
admit their Catholic brethern to the inmost
parts of the Constitution. The moving, flourish.
ing, growing power of spirit and intelligence
was on their side : there was against them only
the withered trunk of ignorance, prejudice,' and
tradition—the zit inertice of matter in decay.--L
When we ventured to dissuade Mr. O'Connell,
and the other gentlemen, his colleagues and asso-
ciates, against injudicious modes of •prosecuting
their claim to liberty, it was less from afear.of
the mischiefs which they might perpetrate, than
of those which they would inevitably suffer.
With their display of physical strength, by the
results of a parochial census of the Catholic po-
pulation, it would, under, the circumstances, be
unfair to quarrel, because that physical power
was questioned, for the sake of an argument
against them. Nor is there any reason so strong
for deprecating the establishment of a new
,atscr-
ciation—a second rent—frequent meetings of
body, permanent in substance though not
name—with the other materials' and princi-
ples of an organized power like that against
which the law of the present Session. WRS directed
—as the tendency of all such Movement's to
alienate the frieuds•of emancipation, or to create
enemies where there were none before. It is
not for the sake of controversy with the Catholic
• leaders that we beg them to revise their projects ;
nor is it worth while to wish that, in reasoning,
in repartee, or in party inamzuvriag, they should
have a momentary triumph : such things are for
childish ambition : our. wish is, that they should
succeed in the main object of emancipation ;
that is • the only thing worth aiming at; that is
Our desire as well as theirs—it is our interest as
much as theirs—it is a grand interest (tithe 'em-
pire. Let the 'Catholics feel that they may'•be-•
come responsible for its security. There would be
nothing more deplorable than an impression ou the
mind of the Catholics that their cause was hopeless
through any constitutional efforts. If they fancy
it to. be hopeless, they will realize their satin
dream. If they take for granted that emanci
patios is desperate but by desperate means, they
will too surely plunge into their own ruin. The
English are a people to be. reasoned with, not
provoked. There is every 'symptom that the
manner in which the intelligence of this'natiois
has gradually operated upon the Catholic ques-
tion has been to gain proselytes for it ; not against
it; and such a process is infallible, if the C4l-
- will wait but a little. At the same flint,
there are obvious reasons why the subject has
been entertained with a cordiality less warm
and decisive in the sixth year of an oia
Parliament, than it would be in the first ses.
sion of another. . The agricultural interest is
the least enlightened in the nation ; and- many,
we doubt not, of the County Members; who

dreaded to be embroiled with their clodpole
constituents on the eve of a general election,
ould take for themselves a more independent
mart soon after that ordeal had passed over. The
Citbolies, therefore, cannot be too distrustful of
violent courses, or too full of confidence in means
better known to the constitution. They have a
ti:ost of friends to assist them, if the latter should
he their choice : they have millions of friends
look to be assisted by them. This is a two-
f,,o argument addressed to their prudence and
::,eir geaerosity.

[MORNING POST.]
The 'merchants of Jamaica will be pleased to
that their wishes have been anticipated by
CjOlonial Intereouse Bill, now before the
lloase of Lords. The advantage of the Bill of
),'S2I, which allowed American procluc(• to be im-
ported into the West India Islands, under cer7
rain yegulations, was not met by a corresponding
'iberality on the part of the Government of
cinited States, which imposed a duty on our
in their ports. This compelled us to
:i!vy on American vessels the same duties they
imposed on our's. Still our original purpose was
!efeated : and our Ministers determined to open
o:ir Colonial port to Europe, and to place Euro.
Pan vessels on the same footing as those of Ame-
yica. Such is one of the objects of the Act now
7‘,!.fore Parliament ; and we feel no doubt that it
AM fully meet the wishes of the Colonists, who
:!lust see that the British Government is not, hs
it has been represented, unmindful of their in-
terests..

LMORNING HERALD.
An attempt, we see, has been made to feel the
pulse of Ministers as to the propriety of restoring
Sir Robert Wilson to his rank and honours.
Either their silence upon the occasion must have
!)een extremely provoking, or else, perhaps, by
k,revious arrangement it was meant to imply assent.
The public, we suspect, care very little about the
snatter—though, we dare say, there are few people,
if any, who would not look with satisfaction at such
an act of grace and favour emanating from the
Crown. But it is the fashion now-a-days for
every drama to have its illarploo and we think
:he way in which this matter has been started
f4rnishes an instance of the kind. The King is,
hy the Constitution,_ the real and only source
of mercy ; and it. is to that quarter, and to
fltly that the request should have been first
eferred. To ask the House of Commons
healer the King ought not to do it, is, we
think, a mark of disrespect to the Sove-
reign, and takes from the Crown, if it con-
yde the point, the sole merit of having
bone so. The King, however, is too humane
::td just to remember past indiscretions, or to be
Htluenced by the ill-advised zeal of mistaken
1; lends. Should the desired boon be granted,
!here is another gallant officer (Lord Cochraue)
towards whom, we trust, similar indulgence will
he shown. These two persons resemble each
other in personal bravery and enthusiasm of cha-
racter. The main difference between them is,
:!:at contrary to general experience, the sailor
loves motley, and understands the way of getting
it better than the soldier.

[BRITISH- PRESS.]

This evening the Distillery Bill will pro-
hably be read a third time in the house of Com-
::•ons, and a more important measure has not for
warty years been under the consideration of the
Legislature. A law founded on the same
principles came into operation in Scotland
aod: Ireland nearly, two years ago, and it
has been.. attended with the most beneficial
effects, to , the
~agricultural interest, and also
to:tbe,milials4 the p ople. In Ireland the an-
t:um! consumption • home-made spirits has in-
upwards of four millions of gallons
since. the law: was passed, and in Scotland the in-
crease is not less than three millions of gallons.
!,YAbe Jeduction of duri!.s, and by the repeal•of
in:proper restrictions on the distillery trade, Go-
1-ernment has furnished the agricultural interest
with a market in Scotland and Ireland for an
n't)ditional growth of at least three hundred and
fifty thousand quarters of barley ; illicit •dis-
t;llation and ,the demoralising trade of smug-
<ling foreign spirits, has been nearly annihilat-
ed, and the revenue has suffered no diminu-
tion. Although the quantity of duty paid,
.I.)liFits consumed in Scotland and Ireland has
r(len doubled, under the present Distillery. Laws ;.
still there has been no increase in the total quan-
tity of spirits consumed in these kingdom., for
il.e quantity of
,foreign spirits smuggled into
1491 before the law. was amended, was fully
equal to the increase which has lately taken
mace inthe consUncytkon of home-made spirits.
'l/471ten the populace is not employed in foreign
snugglingor in illicit distillation, there is less in-
ducement to drunkenness ; and it is a well-known
ftlet, that already a considerable improvement is
ti.sible in the moral conduct and outward appear-
,qt-ce of the people,in Ireland and Scotland, chiefly
r:Atributable to the alteration in the Distillery
Laws. The object of the Bill to be read a third
tirpe In the .Commons this,ev,erting, is to
the Distillery Law of. England to that -of,
SCoiland and Ireland, and by permitting the ma-
nit facture of the finest:spirits, increase,the con.
~I),mption of British grain in England. Not doubt
1;.11 be, rationally entertained that by adopting
1!1.1 same liberal plan in England that lias been.;
