DISCOVERY OF GREEN MARBLE IN IRELA.,;;D.
—A quarry of most beautiful green marble has been, within
the last six months discovered on the estate of Jon r d'Anc v,
Esq., of Clifden Castle, in the county of Gr,',way. some
of the most scientific men in England, to,:olioni specimens
have been shwa with merely the Gulvc,v polish upon them,
designate the marble as " precious serpentine, more beautiful
in shade and colour than the much admired " Verd Antico."
The only quarry of Preen marble ever found in Great Britain
was discovered in NI ales, but was convertible to no purpose.
Egypt or Ireland is, thereforve, our only resource for this valu-
able stone.

On Friday night last a woman at Welle,named
Long, administered to her child, aged seven months, a quan-
tity of laudanum, which was sold to her through mistake for
Godfrey's Cordial, F,..•tul its death was the consequence. A Co-
roner's Inquest was held upon the body, and the Jury returned
' a verdict of. Accidental Death, by administering laudanum

GREAT NORTHERN WHIG CLUB.

The Annual Meeting of the Whig Club of
Cheshire and the adjoining Counties will take
place on Monday week, the 11th of October. Sir
J. T. STANLEY, Ban., will take the chair, sup.
ported by Earl GROSVENOR, Lord CREWE, and
all the Whig Nobility of the Northern Counties
of England.

It was proposed at the last meeting that a de-
elaration of the principles on which they associate
should be prepared against the next anniversary ;
and we are now enabled, by anticipation, to lay
it before our readers.

At the general meeting of...the Whig Club of Cheshire and
the adjacent iounties; held in October, 18'22, it was resolved
unanimously, that the Club should publish its declaration of its
political principles; and a C.'ommittee was appointed to carry
that resolution into effect. In'obedience to the directions of the
Club, a declaration was accordingly submitted for its consider-
ation at the last general meeting, when it was agreed that the
paper should be printed And circulated among the members,
for their final decision at the general meeting next ensuing.
The Committee, therefore, present the following as the result
of their labours :--
DECLAMATION, &c.

It can hardly be expected i>Y a society of persons well quail.
feed to form their own political opinions, that each individual
will find his particular views precisely delineated in any gene-
ral declaration. The utmost success to which the Committee,
in the difficult task thus imp ased on them, can
,presume to
aspire, is to obtain something Eke general concurrence, which,
they trust, may be accomplished by founding their report upon
inductions from the original principles of the institution, as
well as upon the declared pinions of many of its members.

The Club was founded in 1820, a period when the disastrous
condition of the country, and the inroads made upon the rights
and property of the subject, had convinced many of the wisest and
best wen that some.change In the system was necessary, and that
some:hing more stable than the mere reputation or professions
of individuals whom chance or intrigue might invest with ephe.
metal authority, was required to restore that prosperity anti
contentment at home, and that high character abroad, for which
England had for ages been distinguished.

This association, therefore, was funned
to foster and main-
tain the principles of the glorious revolution of 1088," and was
called a Whig Club, with reference to the bold and enlighten-'
ed men who tried to remedy the political abuses of that day.
t was thought that this period of our history would furnish the
lovers of well.regulated liberty with the best guide to those al.
terations in the system of which every day's experience served
but to prove the increasiniiieit;selty.
That the British Constitution has been perverted from its ori.
ginal object, must he evident W all who compare, whether in-
ternally or externally, the present with the past condition of the
country. Previous to °write 1, Parliaments were triennial, •
place-men were deprived of the right oftitting in the House of
Commons .1 the taxes and military es4blishments formed not
I.ltlth, and the Crown patronage not !-Ath. of their present
amount ; the national debt was, comparatively speaking, 'un-
known : England was happy at home and respected abroad,
the restorer of her own liberties, and the successful asserter of
the independence of other states.

Here, then, the most timid have before them a plan of re.
form, which may be effected simply by reverting to past mea-
sures of tried utility, which formed the law and constitution of
the land during the best portion of its history. Nor can they
be reproached as visionary theorists, who would adopt such
further improvements In the system, as the vast change in the
habits, condition, and increased intelligence of the people may
justify and require. Thus the Committee consider the doctrine,
ofreform as necessarily emanating, both in the letter and spirit,
from the original principles of the Society—an opinion sup.
ported by the sentiments often delivered, and the unanimous
feeling expressed, at its general meetings. The subject has,
hitherto, remained confined in general terms, from which it is
never likely to escape, unless aided by the calm but confident
expression of the public voice. The present tranquil state -of
the country, when opinions are least influenced by personal: or
party feelings, and when the promulgation of them cav no
longer be taunted as exciting the discontents of distressed mud.
titudes, is eminently suited to the declaration of sound prin.
ciples, however remote may be our hopes of their practical
illustration. For whatever grounds for present gratulation or
future hope be affheded by the late change in the persons, tem-
per, and policz of the Government, it is quite evident that
these- chanp;,4 add not one iota of real security against the re-
vorrence ~.fr triumphant misrule ; and that so long as the Par.
liament,temains unreformed, so long are our rights and liberties
at tte mercy of whoever may command its majorities.
Without, therefore, in the least presuming to lay down any
dogmatical or exclusive doctrine, as to the means of obtaining
the only legitimate end of all reform—an upright administra.
tion of affairs, or pretending to define the precise limit to which
each particularthe

whether
of others, (aquestion to the solution of which actual experiment
will perhaps be the safest guide), it appears that the cure of
the evils we complain of will be found in the fallowing mea-
sures

-I.The repeal of the Septennial Bill, passed in 1715.
2. The exclusion of the inefficient and subordinate placenien
from the right of voting in the House of Commons, as they were
formerly excluded by that law which settled the British crown
upon the House of Brunswick.
3. A more expeditious and less ruinous mode of receiving
votes at elections, thereby leaving the elected nu excuse for
subset vent venality.
4. And a more equal representation of the people, and such
an extension of the elective franchise as is calculated to give
greater efficiency to thst undoubted precept of the British Con.
stitution, that those who pay direct taxes should possess some in the imposition of them.
The Committee consider these measures to be in strict con-
sistency with the Constitution of England, and to involve no
risks, except to giose abuses which every impartial man would
wish corrected, and which even their most zealous advocates are
unable to defend:.
.Finally, the main use of this and similar associations is to
keep alive the old free spirit of the country, and to collect the
scattered friends of rational,liberty under such 'a bond of
social union as will encourage independent men to speak their
minds freely upon public occasions= ensuring the toleration, if
not the propagation. of liberal principles ; and, above all, to
secure (whenever sufficient cause arises, and in spite of the ob-
stacles which faction and legislation have imposed on its exer-
cise) a continuance of the inestimable right of meeting and pe-
titioning Legislature.
