• - WEIWITS AND MEASURES.
The Report of the Weights and Measures Bill was received
.after a few words from the Earl of LAUDERDALE, who was
understood to express his intention to oppose the measure in
the last stage, as tending to load the Statute Book with unne-
cessary enactments.
COUNTY COURTS.
Lord REDESDALE, on moving the second reading of the
County Courts Bill, explained the nature of the measure.
Lord ELLENBOItOUGH objected to many of its provi-
sions, and wished that his Majesty's Ministers, if they were de-
sirous that such a Bill should ultimately pass, would institute a
previous inquiry, anti introduce- a more perfect measure next
bession.

The LORD CHANCELLOR did not think it possible that
the Bill should past during the present Session, consistently
with the importance of the subject. He urged the necessity of
providing proper compensation for those Judges and Officers
whose emoluments should be injured by the measure, and
wished for further inquiry before any attempt should be made
to legislate on the subject.
Lord REDESDA LE said that he should not press the mea.
sure after what bad fallen front the Noble and Learned Earl.
Lord ELLENBOROUGII then moved that the Bill be
read that day six months.—Agreed to.

[MORNING POST.I

In our notice of the proceedings in the House
of Lords a few evenings since, we particularly
directed attention to a Petition presented by the
Bishop of Raphoe, praying that a Law might be
passed, enabling Parishes in Ireland to make
legal provision for their poor. The more we
reflect upon the prayer of this petition, the more
we think it entitled to serious consideration.
In the first place it proceeds from the Protes-
tant, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic Cler-
gymen of the Parish which has forwarded it,
and, as a matter of course, expresses the
sentiments of all descriptions of person with-
in that district. In the. next place, so little is
solicited—indeed, so mere a legalization of na-
tural rights—that we cannot well see on what
grounds the request can be denied. Why the
I respectable inhabitants of a Parish should be
prevented or obstructed in the effectual exercise
of their benevolence appears incomprehensible ;
for although a few eccentric individuals might
carry enthusiasm in any cause to an absurd or
prejudicial extent, it is unreasonable to suppose
that a whole Parish would be so infatuated with
philanthropy as to saddle themselves with perpe-
tual burdens for the relief of their poor
neighbours on principles detrimental to so-
ciety at large. This being premised, it may
be added, that however impolitic to intro-
duce the system of Poor Laws into Ireland
now established here, it is absolutely necessary
that some assimilation of the two countries on

this subject should take place. Either the pro-
vision for the poor in England must be greatly
modified, or •a modification of the Poor Laws
must be introduced into the sister Island. Any
person who has attended to the growing relations
of the United Kingdom for several years past,
and reflected upon the rapid progress of the po-
pulation—the emigration from Ireland into Eng-
land—and the law of removal, to which the latter
has given birth—will, at once, we flatter our-
selves, concede the foregoing proposition. But, in
another point of view, the prayer of the present
Petitioners ask no more than this—to enable
the Irish to discountenance, and finally sup-
press the nuisance, mendicity ; and instead
thereof, to establish a regulated provision for the
aged, infirm, and destitute. When lately dis-
cussing Mr. Kennedy's Scotch Poor Bill, we took
occasion to observe on the merits of the latter
system, and in short the principle in one case
must hold good in the other. Pauperism always
wilt exist, and the real question therefore is, how
its evils may be most judiciously modified where
they cannot be altogether avoided.

STEEPLE CHASE.

A sporting sweepstakes match took place yesterday morning
between Captain Swaine •and Messrs. Arbuthnot and Cleaver,
for twenty-five sovereigns a-side. The ground was from Thorpe,
near Chertsey, to Maidenhead Thicket, a distance of about 12
miles. The horsemen kept the road until they crossed the Bap;-
shot road, when they made the straightest direction across the
country,- leaving the King's dog-kennel on the left, and they
parted on this part of the Forest. Mr. Arbuthnot again got
into the road to the westward of Winkfield Plain, and passed
the church. The three were in sight on taking across the en-
closures again over a difficult country. After many hazardous
leaps, Mr. Arbuthnot, on his mare Fury, reached the Bath
road, on Maidenhead Thicket, first; Captain Swaine was se-
cond, in about three minutes after the winner ; and Mr. Cleaver
pulled up two miles from home. The winner performed the
distance in 46 minutes.

MATCH to go on FOOT 45 MILES in NINE HOUR-;.
H. Hamilton, the Leicestershire Pedestrian, started yester-
day morning at four o'clock, to perform the above task, and
to walk the first two miles. The ground chosen was two miles
of turf and road over part of Banstead Downs on the Brighton
road, for one hundred sovereigns, and the man was backed to
win at sto 4 odds. He occupied thirteen minutes in perform-
ing the first two miles at a walk, and he was cicven mi.
nutes only going over the second two miles. The pedestrian
continued on at the rate of about six miles an hour, and after
having completed thirty-six miles he halted, and left himself
two hours to do the last nine miles in. He won with much
ease, and had five minutes to spare.

44'a GENERAL MEETING- of SCOTTISH, DISTIL-

LZRS Working for HOME CONSUMPTION, held at

ltdinburgh, 13th April, 1824 :
/THE following Resolutions were submitted to,
the Meeting, and unanimously approved of.
First, That under the present Distillery Law of Scotland
Ireland, 4th Geo. IV. cap. 94. it is the opinion of this
Meeting that the Duty-is fairly paid, and illicit distillation in
11.010ess of being put down.
Second, That although Spirits are made under the same law
111 Scotland and Ireland; under the same Rules and Regula-
-14048 in every respect, and are allpwed to be put into Bond in
13etil countries, free of duty, yet Spirits so made in Ireland are
permitted to be sent from the Ifondea Warehouse into con-
14111i/don in England on payment of the same rate of duty
is paid on Spirits made in England, while the Spirits so
trade 48cotiand are entirely prohibited from being sept into
411 gland. -

Third, That the intercourse in SVhislty betwixt Ireland and
England is thus open ; and whilst Brandy and Gin, the pro-
llsce of France and Holland ; Riim, the produce-of our Colo-
a;. and Whisky, the produce of Canada ; are allowed freely
I!'e imported into Great Bvitain and Ireland, and put into
Bond, and on payment of the duties to be taken out of Bond,
and sent into consumption in the United Kingdom without any
limitation as to strength, this Meeting is at a loss to under.
stand, why Whisky made in Scotland from Barley, the pro.
duce of our own soil, should be alone denied this privilege
notwithstanding the constant application anil great demand fromi
England.

Fourth, That owing to the superior quality of home made
spirits, the smuggling of Foreign' Spirits, which was formerly
Partied on to a great extent in Scotland, is now nearly un-
t/u}wn's and were Spirits of a similar good quality allowed to
e used, in England; the great extent of foreign Smuggling
Ililrtied on would be materially lessened, and a most ex-
-4'll4lre Market opened up for many thousand quarters of Barley.
„,Fiftb: that it appears from the Parlimentary Papers, No.
*), and No. 185 of this Session, that there was shipped of
Barley and Malt from England to Scotland, from the
10th October, 1820, to 15th February, 1821, 44,428 6.Bth

'HAPPINESS.
One morning in the month of MAI
I wander'd o'er the hill,
Tho' nature all around-.was gay
My heart was heavy

Can Got), I thought, the jtzßt, gro.st,
.These meaner creatures ,Lleis,
And yet deny to Man's estate
The boon of flapping ?

Tell me, ye woods; ye smiling plains,
ye blessed birds around • • ,
In which of nature's wide dbirains
Can bliss for ,man be found ?

'The birds wild carrord overlet
The breeze around me blew,
And Natures awful chorus said—
No bliss for man she knew.

I questioned Lor E, whose, early my
So rosy bright appears,
And heard the timid genius say
His light was dine- 'd by tears.

I questioned F I EN.DS'II r;• ,Friendship
And thus her answer gave—
The‘few whom fortune never turn'd
Were wither'd in the grave

1 ask'd if Vice could blisibestow
Vice boAsted loud and well,
But fading frOtri her wither'd bra'
The borrowed roses fell.

I sought of FEELING, if HER. Skill
Could soothe the wounded breast
And found her mourning, faint, and still,
For others' woes distress'd !

I questioned VIRTUE ; Virtue sigh'd
No boon could she dispense-L
Nor VIRTUE was her name, she cried
But humble Penitence:

I questioned DEATn—Tfie grisly shadz
Ilelted his brow severe—
And--" I ABI llArrtatEss,' he said,
" If Virtue guides thee lieu."

THE GREEKS.

The following additional particulars of the
naval victories lately gained by the Greeks have
been received by one of the Greek Authorities
in this country :
( Extract of a Private Letter from Zante, dated S. )
" I avail myself of the present favourable moment to address
you, principally for the purpose of informing you, that the
Turkish fleet has again met with a very signal defeat. It
would appear that the two enemies' fleets were united near
Rhodes, where they were attacked by the Greeks. The ac-
counts arc so various, that I am unable precisely to state the
loss of the Turks. It, however, certainly amounts to this--
that all further hopes on their part are lost, and happy for that
ship that gets safe home. Every arrival for the last two or
three days has brought us intelligence of the victory. But this
morning Sir Frederick Adam arrived from Cerigo, sonic say
from Napoli. The first thing his Excellency did was to send
for Ladopulo, I know not for what object ; and he afterward►
said, that, with the exception of thirty vessels, the whole of
the Infidel fleet were destroyed.—By an Austrian frigate that
arrived two days since, we hear that the Capitan Paella had
previously died of grief for the first defeat.—lt may perhaps
be news to you to know, that the General passed this about a
week ago with two frigates and two brigs professedly for Na-
poli, in order to get a more satisfactory answer about the
sive Proclamation of the Provisional Government. As no allu-
sion is made to that issued by the latter rescinding their former
one, it is evident his Excellency could not have been aware of
its promulgation ; at all events it seems pretty evident that he
has paid a visit to Napoli. The general opinion here is, that
if the General did go there, he had some other object in view
as well as the Proclamation : probably one of mere curiosity to
witness the interesting spectacle presented at the seat of the
new Hellenic Government. I hope to be able to throw more
light on this subject In my next."

[MORNING ILERALD.J

It seems from what transpired a day or two
since at a Meeting of the Journeymen Silk
Weavers, that the differences between them and
their Masters have not terminated. The latter
have taken the law into their own hands—they
have refused to give their men weft, with
which to complete their work. The fact is,
that the old ridiculous Act retrains in force which
enables the Magistrates or the Spitaltields
District to determine the prices to be paid for
the weaving of silk goods. To every one ac-
quainted with trade this must appear a queer
Act ; as if Magistrates, who, for the most
part, are Lawyers or Clergymen, could know
the proper price to fix in cases of dispute
between the respective parties. For our parts,

' we are glad that the Masters have done the only
thing that could bring their Operatives to. How
could the latter expect to receive a higher rate
of wages than is paid in Coventry, Macclesfield,
Manchester, or any other place where the silk
manufactory is carried on ? The only remedy for
the grievance will be for the Operatives (as Mr.
Owen calls the Journeymen Weavers) to join
their Masters in a petition to the Parliament
at the approaching Session, to do away with
all the Acts of Parliament at present in exist-
ence regulating the Silk Trade. And, in order
that the Lords' House of Parliament may do the
contrary of what they did the last Session, we
would recommend the Weavers to go in proces-
sion, with their wives and children, and
beseech their Lordships not again to throw
out the Bill for the relief of the Silk Trade
which had passed the Commons. We would
recommend them afterwards to give a dinner,and
to let the tickets be a guinea each, to which
he would advise them to invite Messrs. Hus-
kisson, Robinson, and Wallace, so that they
might hear speeches from those Gentlemen, as
to the new light which, of late, has burst forth
over the manufacturing hemisphere. For our
part, we do not see why the Operatives should
slot give his Majesty's Ministers a dinner, and
have the benefit of their speeches, as well as the
Ship Owners. Indeed, the Weaving Interest is
more deserving the serious contemplation of those
whose wisdom guides the nation's destinies than
the Shipping Interest ; for if there were no
operative weavers, there would be no goods—
and if there were ❑o goods, there would be no
occasion for ships. If the Spitalfields Acts
are not got rid of, the Silk Trade, in process of
time, will leave Spitalfields, and then the Ope-
ratives must march to Coventry, or any other
place where no stupid Acts of Parliament are in
operation. We strongly suspect that some Solicitor
is at the bottom of this business. If so, we re-
commend the Operatives to pay him his bill, and
to get rid of him. If they do not do this, he
will, in the long nun, rid them of their operative
employment altogether—in which case there
would be no other thing for the Operatives to
have recourse to, but the poor-house, or one of
Mr. Owen's parallelograms among the Irish bogs
or mountains.

(Cheers.)—Though he highly disapproved of the tenour and
temper of Lord Byron's Vision of Judgment, the verdict that
hid been just obtained against its publisher, he was certain,
would be used as an engine to destroy the freedom of poli-
tical discussion. A Society, self-styled Constitutional, had
dared to set themselves up as Judges of what ought and what
ought not to be published, and in this instance had affected to
protect his present Majesty's feelings, and prosecute the Editor
of The Kranziner, when his Majesty's own servant, the Attor-
ney-General, neither conceived that his Majesty's feelings were
wounded, nor that his late Majesty's character needed a legal
defence.--(Cheers.}--If' the liberal Aristocracy of Scotland
really though the Freedom of the Press was worth preserving,
they would come forward and form an association to counteract
the designs of this soi-disant Constitutional Society—and his
Lordship, who had seen the venom of the licentious Press,
would be the first to preserve from destruction the liberal Press.

devoted to the Chairman's continuing in the Chair.
Lord A. HAMILTON rose, drank the healths of the com-
pany, wished them good night, and retired amid loud cheering ;
after which the Meeting separated about one o'clock.

THE THEATRES.

KING'S THEATRE.—The same Opera was re-
presented again last night as was performed ott
Saturday, and CATA7.ANI7 the great attraction of
the time, resumed her part with equal success.
The House was crowded and the applause abun-
dant. There was a large assemblage of the
higher orders.
COYENT-GARDEN.—Mr. C. KEMBLE was pre-
vented by a very severe cold, which quite disfi-
gured his face, from performing the part of Romeo
on Monday evening ; it was therefore assigned
to Mr. COOPER, a very judicious actor, who is
now become one of the established favourites of
the Public. He acquitted himself so well as not
to require the allowance usually extended to
those who are called to act on a sudden emer-
gency, and excited much applause. Miss F. H.
KELLY is decidedly more successful in the part
of Juliet than in any other which she has as-
sumed, and her performance was really interesting.

MISS 'FOOTE TO COLONEL EEIIKELRY.

" London, March 22, 1824.
" If thou imaginest thou bast any just charge to make
against me, I should like to be acquainted with it. All
these accusations are only made as excuses for thy not fulfill-
ing thy promises, and yet thou cast deny that thou art behav-
ing unk►ndly to tae. I did intend to leave London on Thurs.
day, but I fear I cannot go at all now, for I have not the
means, and my helpless situation renders it impossible for me
to provide for myself. I do not like the disgrace that will fall
upon me from the publicity which must inevitably attend a
certain event taking place here, but I must endeavour to
struggle through it. It will be the last misfortune of that de.
scription that I shall ever be exposed to.
" Fare thee well, dearest, for that thou still art, and ever
wilt be, to thine own " MARIA."

COLONEL BERKELEY TO MISS FOOTE.

( Tuesday , March 23, l 824. )—(24th delivery post.in ark. )
" I have just received thy letter. I will write more fully to.
morrow, and fairly tell thee what charge I have to make : the
object of this is merely to say that thou knowest thou mist
command the means for leaving London, for I will send
thee what money thou wantest if. thou wilt let me know what
it is.—Thine."

MISS FOOTE TO COLONEL BERKET.ET.

(Extract.) " Wednesday, March 24, 1824.
" I shall be anxious to receive thy letter to-morrow, but I
have no fears from the threatened charge against me."
(then, alluding to the approaching birth of the child)
" It might have been a very happy event, but now all hope is
over; mid when I think that lam about to bring into this
world another unfortunate being, who like the last, will be
totally unprovided for, my heart aches, and I wish that I had
never seen thee—the cause of all my miseries and anxieties. I
am getting into a strain of reproach that I would avoid; there.
forel shall only assure thee that whatever thou art induced to
to think of me, I am thine ever and ever, &c."
London, England, 1824-12-25

MISS FOOTE TO COLONEL BERKELEY.

" Tuesday, June '22, 1824.
" If I am well enough, I intend to be in London in a few
lays, when 1 shall have an opportunity of speaking to my
Father respecting Mr. Hayne. The result of our communica-
tion you shall be made acquainted with. There are other points
in your letter which I will then also reply to."
London, England, 1824-12-25

TO MISS FOOTE.

At ARlA,—deserted, thy happiness blighted,
Lament not the loss of a Lover so base,
The Public again will behold thee delighted,
And welcome thy talents, thy beauty, thy grace.

Though VIRTUE thy errors has view'd with a frown,
She knows that fond youth is too apt to believe,
Return to her Shrine, look with penitence down,
Thy fate she will pity, thy homage receive.

The Public expect thee, THALIA repines,
And seems like 111ELromEsuE, sunk in distress,
She feels that her cause in thy absence declines,
Nor doubts that the world all thy wrongs will redress.

Resume then thy station, and WEALTH treat with scorn,
When held by a Being capricious and vile,
Well•pleas'd we shall see thee the stage still adorn,
And Fortune and Fame on thy merit will smile.
