PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

(Front the Dublin Correvundent of' Nov. 18.)
The Roman Catholic Association and their
Gazette are going on braVely. At a meeting of the first por-
tentous body yesterday, a Reverend Mr. L'Estrange declar.
ed, and he said, at the same time, he meant "to be perfect.
ly plain, the Catholic clergy do not recognize any Ecclesiastical
character as properly belonging to the clergy of the Established
Church. He repeated, that a Catholic cannot acknowledge that
the very highest dignitary of the Protestant Church is an eccle-
siastic, claiming consideration under the sanction of Divine
Right."—(Loud cries of hear !)—This extract is made from
their own Gazette—therefore there can be no question of its
accuracy. Ought not such a declaration for ever exclude,
or at least so long as such a feeling and doctrine is pre-
dominant, its disseminators and supporters from an unqua-
lified participation of the highest offices in the State?—
How can they, after such a fulmination, pretend they could
associate in all the relations of equal privileges with any other
class in the empire, ecclesiastical or laical ? Here is the old
doctrine of heresy openly and unblushingly maintained in the
same rancorous malignity, as if we were living in the fifteenth
or sixteenth.century. Mr. O'Connell was present, and yet he
(lid not rebuke the anathematizer, nor was a voice raised to
qualify such a pernicious and anti-social dogma.' The speaker,
we have no doubt, considered the most ignorant and bigoted
priest in the country superior in ordination, rank, qualification,
and intelligence, to the first Dignitary of the Established
Church in it, or even to the head of the' State himself.—
Could there possibly be a . Protestant present, and still
coalesce with this body, after hearing his faith and its
Ministers so vilely traduced ? If there were, we do not envyltim
his intellect or principles. But this is not all. The Gazette
of the Association, this morning, issues atwitter fulmination
against his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, and threatens to
make an exposure of certain proceedings at his Grace's Palace,
to which the reporter of that Journal surreptitiously obtained
admission. 'rite entire Clergy of the Established Church are
denounced by wholesale at the Association, and their Gazette
is then to come forward and point its malignity at them indi-
vidually, no matter how high in rank and character ! This
is preparing for the threatened storm heartily, and with no
idle qualms of conscience, feeling, or moderation. No half
measures are to be preserved with heretical dignity or here-
tical talents. Why should not his Grace be abused? He is
no more in the eyes of this fanatical Junto, than the most
ordinary individual who walks the streets, and his archiopis.
copal rank cannot clothe him with any religious privilege or
respect, which will exempt hint from the ravings of their
animosity. Grant Emancipation to such radical intolerants
by all means—give them greater power to wield their mis-
chievous energies—and the country will soon experience the
glorious consummation for which they are so eager.

TIIE KING V. WATSON AND BLISS.

This was an indictment preferred by William Man against
the defendants, tradesmen of fiethnel.Green, for an assault.
The case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice at the
last Middlesex Sittings, when the defendants were found
guilty. It appeared to be the practice for the friends of Mr.
rutton, the vestry-clerk of Bethnel-green, to celebrate his
rks.nTahelasergpeenrsoutnnsbewr,o,ref

each of which gave a right of entrance to two, and which
were issued by the stewards. At the last anniversary, Mr.
Man, who was of the adverse faction, went with a friend to see
the fire-works, but was thrust nut by the defendants, and posited
in the face by Mr. Watson. Mr. Man's friend was soppily('
with a ticket, but it did not appear that the defendants saw it
till the assault was over.
Mr. SCAILLETT now moved for the judgment of the Court;
but offered to forbear, if the parties would go before the Master
with a view to payment of costs.
Mr. TIROUGnAM, for the defendant Watson, was ready to
express his client's contrition; but thought it unreasonable that
he should be required to pay the costs of an indictment which
should have been prefered at sessions.
Affidavits were then put in on the ?arta the defendants, al-
leging that If they had known or believed the prosecutor had a
ticket, they would not have attempted to remove him.
Mr. Buouotiast then addressed the Court for Watson, Mi.
Pit 11.1.114 for Miss, and Mr. SCAIII.ETT for the prosecution.
Mr. Justice Bayt,Ev, after expressing his regret that a cele-
bration tending tokeep alive animosities in Bethnal-green should
continue, passed the sentence of the Court, that Watson should
pay a tine of 301., and Bliss a fine of 101.

THOMAS NEWMAN.

Mr. K ELL Y,moved for the judgment of the Court on this
defendant, the landlord of the Green Man at Barnet, who was
convicted at the last Middlesex sittings, of an assault on the
prosecutor, a waiter in his service.
It appeared at the trial that the prosecutor had placed a cane
left at the inn by Lord Egremont in a closet, and that his master
complaining of the waiter for not tonging it to the bar, struck
him on the side, and used considerable violence.
Affidavits, in some respects contradictory, were now produced
its to the provocation, the assault itself, and the nature of the

THE THEATRE.

CO VENT-C ARDEN.—Mrs. &ASIAN, who ha,
rn►+de a very favourable impresSion on the Public
in the other characters which she has performed,
last night
_assumed the part of Isabella, in the
Tragedy of The Fatal Marriage. The judgmnt
and feeling which she displayed on the former
occasions naturally excited an expectation that
she would render equal justice to the melancholy
heroine of this melancholy play nor was expec-
tation disappointed. She entered into the part
with strong emotion, and if her performance al-
together did not rake, it did not lessen, her repu-
tation. lier chief defect was a want of energy to
express all the dread vicissitudes of the cha-
ncier—

" The lines, though touch'd but faintly, were drawn riiiht."
The best test in her favour, however, was the
frequent applause and general sympathy of a
numerous audience. Mr. C. K MILE made so
conspicuous a figure in the part of Carlos, that we
regretted to see him resign it for Diron, which is
too tame a character to call forth his powers.
He, however, rendered it respectable. We are
sorry that we cannot speak favourably of Mr.
BENNETT in Carlos. His performance, as justly
observed by a morning critic, was " full of sound
and fury," with the addition of almost incessant
nods and winks to the audience, lest they should
not comprehend his character and fathom his de-
signs. We have seen this actor respectable in
other characters, and therefore we advise him to
re-study Carlos, and delineate him as «a calm
thinking villian, whose black blood runs tem-
perately bad." Villeroy could hardly be better
than in the hands of COOPER. A judicious
Critic, in a Morning Paper, is mistaken in
supposing that Mrs. SIDDONS performed the
part of Isabella when she first appeared in Lon-
don, under the management of GARRICK. She
first appeared in that character after his death,
on her second engagement at Drury-Lane Theatre,
when she came from Batl► in ell her glory, and, far
from being " neglected," as he. supposes, electri-
fied the whole town, and retained her commanding
supremacy till she finally retired from the Stage.

M U It I) E It S.

Sunday evening, about half-past nine o'clock,
Jacob Wilkins, about 50 years of age, ostler at
the Blucher Inn, Norton St. Philip, Somerset-
shire, was murdered about half-way up the hill,
beyond the Fox public-house, at Midford. Mon.
day a young man, named James Reynolds alias
Waiters, was brought before MIDMOND ANDER..
DON, Esq., and the examination of witnesses last.
ed until nearly eleven o'clock at night. The
watch of the deceased was found upon him ; and
when Mr. George Goldstone, the surgeon, who
examined the hotly, produced some small per-
lions of the bone of the fractured skull of the de.
ceased, the agitation of the prisoner was remark-
able. Reynolds has been tried twice already—
for Horse-stealing, and for stealing apparel; He
is not yet nineteen years old. An Inquest has
been held on the body, and the verdict being
46 Wilful Murder against Reynolds," he is cam-
milted for trial,

In our paper of Wednesday, we gave a report
of the trial, at the Clare Assizes of Bonora Con.
cannon, for the murder of a poor beggar named
Higgins. We have since learned, that after the
awful sentence of the law was passed upon her,
she still Persisted in protesting her innocence,
.and continued to do so until a few seconds be-
fore she was launched into eternity, when she
admitted being concerned in the murder, but re-
fused to say whether she had any accomplice pr
not. Nothing could equal the resistance she gave
the executioner : she kicked him, anti bit his
hands several tititesi and appeared to be in a :per-
fect state of frenzy when brought to the drop,
which was done by force.
Dawnithk, hwy. 3,l.—We have heard that
a horrible murder was committed on Friday, near
Dundalk, en a servant of Mr. Ileory, of Itath.
eskin, who was employed to serve notices on
tkeir rents. It appears, from the
mteanraknstsotno
the
ehead and face, that this foul deed
was perpetrated by the prongs of a pitchfork and
other deadly instruments. We expect the evi-
dence given at the inquest, which was held by
George Forster, Esq.---(Carlow Paper.)

Letters were yesterday received from the
Cape of Good Hope, which add further details
of the devastation arising from the two severe
hurricanes at the Mauritius. Little doubt now
remains of the loss of his Majesty's ship Delight;
she was seen on the 2211 of February, making for
Port Louis, and subsequently pieces of wreck
were cast ashore, which it is ascertained were
part of the vessel, by the testimony of the As-
sistant-Surgeon and Mr. MURRAY', the Master's
Mate, who were accidentally left on shore. To
add to this dreadful calamity, there were on
board at the time about 150 slaves, who had been
taken out of different slave ships, captured
through the exertions of Captain Ilky.
Yesterday morning the Earl of LIVIIRPOOL
and Mr. CANNING arrived in London, from the
seat 9f the former at Combe-wood, near Kings-
ton, Surrey. Both the Ministers were closely
engaged in official business during the day.
Yesterday Mr. HURTADO, the Colombian Mi-
nister, transacted business at the Foreign-office
for a considerable lime.
Yesterday morning the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER arrived in town from his visit to
Emily, Marchioness of Londonderry, at North
Cray, Kent. The Chancellor transacted business
with Mr. Canning, at the Foreign-office, for some

subject. Those Orders declared our determination not to make
any pecuniary advances to Officers at home beyond what they
are allowed by the existing Regulations of the Service, anti you

fully persuaded that a stict observance of this Rolution will
prevent much trouble and inconvenience beside* loss to the

Excmisll Ortlaa-House.___—After the myste.
musical Piece was represented, entitled The
Reign of Thelve Hours. The Fable is as
:—The Caliph (BARTLEY) had degraded his
hoe Minister, who died broken-hearted, though
conscious of his innocence. Ile wishes that his
son Zcandcr (PEA R M AN) should marry Z oraide,
a neighbouring Princess, to promote his political
views. Nourma (Miss KELLY), however, daughter
of the departed Minister, so ingratiates herself
with the Caliph, that he not only changes his
mind, and prefers her to be his daughter.'

short interval for the benefit of the State. During
her short reign she reconciles the father and son,
and captivates the affections of the latter, who
supposes her to be Zoraide. After some inter-
vening difficulties, he is introduced to Nourtna
on the throne to whom he vows perpetual attach-
ment, and marries with the parental sanction.—
This piece is an agreeable sketch, and is very
well acted, particularly by BARTLEY and Miss
KELLY. The anxiety of the former to repossess
his throne, and the sportive manner in so hich the
latter exercises the regal authority, are highly
amusing. The piece was very well received, and
is an entertaining addition to the diverting no-

FRANFORT PAPERS.

VIENNA, JULY 22.—Private letters from Her-
manstadt, dated the Bth of July, and from Cron-
stadt of the 10th, assure us, that the Ilospodar
of Wallachia received from Constantinople, on
the bth, the firman of the Sultan for the evacua-
tion of that province. to consequence of this
news, some of the Boyars who had quitted their
country, are about to return to it ; and prepara-
tions are making in the awe of the Russian Con-
sul in Wallachia to remove from Hermanstadt to
Bucharest.

DARMSTADT, JULY 27e-111 No. 90 of the
Church Gazette, published to-day, ,is the follow-
ing ordinance for the Grand Duchy of Baden:—
" 'Awls, by the Grace of God, &c. &c. For some years
past, we have found, by melancholy experience, that in the Ev-
angelic Church of our Grand Duchy which so imperiously
claims our highest care, both as Sovereign and Bishop of the
country, the pure and incorrupt preaching of the Gospel is
more and more neglected, and several of its important
doctrines are evaded or rendered doubtful, or even disputed in
sermons and catechetical examinations, and that instead of the
eternal Divine word, human transitory ideas are taught and
preached ; that many Clergymen, wholly neglecting to preach
the main articles of faith of our holy religion, treat its moral
ordinances as the main part ; others again favour a system of
rationalism which directly undermines the pillars of our faith
in the Gospel revealed immediately from God through our Di.
vine Redeemer and Saviour, and but too clearly betrays the
tendency to set aside, as antiquated, positive Christianity. It
is unnecessary to point out the injurious consequences that must
have accrued both.to the State and to each ! family.
" Now, as we, both in our quality of Prince and Bishop,
having (as a sacred duty) the Christian education and true
welfare of our evangelical subjecti :Olean, cannot, and will not,
any longer witness. such unchristian proceedings and conduct.
r,
e hereby give orders to our Ministers of State as fol.
lows.—(llere arc added at length, the. measures to be adopted,
that the. Clergy may teach the h ospel, as it is to be deduced
from the Bible and the Symbolic Books, that the greatest care
he taken not to impeach the credibility, of .the miracles in the
New Testament, or to misrepresent them. The Deacons, in
their usual visitations of the Churches, arc to cause the Sermons
of the Parochial Clergy for the preceding year, to be laid before
them, and carefully to examine them, arid to see that in their
catechising they teach the pure doctrines of the Gospel, and is
case they observe any thing of a contrary tendency immediately
to report it to the Ecclesiastical Department of the Office of the
Minister of the Interior, which, after finding the statement cur.
rest, is to acquaint the Grand flake. Care is also to be taken,
that the. true doctrines of the Christian religion be taught in the
schools. None are to be admitted as candidates for Holy Or.
tiers, unless-they possess not only competent knowledge, but, as
far as can be ascertained, truly Christian sentiments, and an
unblameable moral character.")

An interesting experiment is about to take place at Wool-
wich, under the immediate inspection of the Master General of
the Ordnance, at which all the principal engineers and military
reavans of the day are requested to be present. Its object is to
ascertain the hnportance of a new invention of Count Carnet's
in the art of fortification, which, if the theory is borne out by
practice, will have the effect of rendering a work impregnable
by means of a wall, so constructed in the fuse as to make the
breaching it impossible.
StynnEr YF7.OIIANIIY CAva.tar.--Sir. William Jollilfe,
Bart. having retired from the 15th Hussars, and taken the emu.
mand of this highly respectable Corps, the regiment, with their
line band, were called out yesterday upon Duppar Hill, near
Croydon, and received their new Lieut.-Colonel with the ac-
customed honours. Having been inspected by him, and gone
through various evolutions with their usual precision and cor-
rectness, the new Commander expressed the highest opinion
upon their military appearance and discipline. Sir William
and the rest of the Officers were afterwards entertainned at din-

FIGHT between CANNON and JOSH HUDSON.

Warwick was yesterday the scene of action, and such was the
interest excited, not only in that town, but in London, that the
latter place, so far as regarded the lovers of the science, was com-
pletely deserted. The morning was propitious. Cannon
at an early hour was on the spot. Every vehicle was in
requisition, and the ring having been formed, the men set-to.
Cannon took the lead, and in twenty minutes had completely
beaten his opponent. Josh, who once had the name of being an
invincible, found in Cannon an fron-moubled opponent, who
put him at defiance, and he reluctantly resigned. Dick Curtis
and Aaron were present; but, to use the technicality of the
P. U., it was no go. Aaron received the 10111., and his friends
the peoples, were much in the dumps. flow fur the pre4ent
no go may operate with the patronisers of the ring, time will
show.

all hands drowned. Fortunately none of the vessels drifted.
and no lives lost, or serious damage sustained. tit nine o'clock
in the morning, the gable-end of a house in the Maze Too-
ley-street, No. 6, gave way, and in its descent broke in the
window-casements of the first floor of the house opposite. and
fell with a dreadful crash into the street t happily at the instant
no person was passing. About the same time fell the stacks of
chimnies of three houses, 6,7, 0, in William's-place, Wal.
worth. At No. 6, the roof and back rooms were wholly demo-
hshed, from one of which two infant children had but the mo-
ment before been taken from bed. Between nine and ten
o'clock the stack of chimneys belonging to Sir. Warren's
house, in Bedford-square, was 'blown down, and broke the
roof f the house, and man of the tiles and mortar were
forced into the bed-room but no person received any injury.
.
About eleven o'clock an
immense stack of chimneys belonging
to Salvador-house, in Bishopagate-street, fell with a tremedous
crash ; they forced in the roof of the house, but we are happy
to say the terrified inmates escaped without sustaining any in-
jury. Most of the bricks and rubbish fell into the fore court
of Mr. De Tastett's premises. The front of one of the mo-
dern-built houses also, near the Albany-road, Camberwell,
was completely blown in yesterday morning: although inha-
bited, no one was hurt.
t is stated in a Scotch paper, that the loss of
property sustained in the late fires in Edinburgh
may be estimated at from 150,0001. to 170,0001.,
and that nearly 300 families have been burned
out of their houses.

enemy's war-boats, and it cannot be Soubted that the dreadful 1
example of the day before, and awfil effects of our opening
firing, alone could have induced men rossessed (as the Burmese
unquestionably are) of great personal courage to give it up.
The object I had in view has thus been fully accomplished ;
a general pause and terror of our arms at present prevail among
the troops lately opposed to us, and from one or two recon-
noitring parties which have since been sent out, I find that
every stockade in our neighbourhood has been evacuated ; and.
I have reason to think the enemy has retired to so distance
from our front.

PORTUGAL.

LIMN, Ana. 3.—The false and absurd re-
ports which have been circulated respecting the return to this
port of theithip Marie c Cardoso, Captisin Ruffino Peres Bap-
data, oblige us to thew their want of foundation, by publishing
the copy of the entry of that vessel, taken at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon of the 28th July, when it entered this port :—" Ship
Marie e Cardozo, Capt. Ruffino Peres Baptista, at sea 95 days,
crew 164 men, passengers 308."
The Captain stated in writing as follows:
" In consequence of many calms, contrary winds, and a
great scarcity of provisions, and the ship not being likely to
reach the channel of Mozambique with the monsoon, these were
urgent reasons which obliged us to return." He added ver-
bally, on the 14th May that he had put into S. Thiago de Gar-
bo Verde, where he left 4 exiles (renegadoes) sick in the hos-
pital, staying there only 4 days.
Letters have been received from his Excellency Don Manuel
da Camara, Governor and Captain-General of India, dated
Goa, 27th January; this year. •
The Governor states, that on the 19th January the Portu-
guese galley Lusitania had arrived at that.port, after touching
at Colombo, where it stepped twelve days. It brought official
documents and other papers from Lisbon, dated from the 10th
June to the 12th July last year, confirming the news received
a few days before through the English papers, that the king
had resumed the exercise of his inalienable rights. his Ex-
cellency describes at length the rejoicings that took place on
the receipt of this happy news. He adds that the city enjoys
perfect tranquillity, notwithstanding the late dissensions. The
provinces of Salsette, Betides, Pintin, &c., continued to enjoy
uninterrupted repose. Tranquillity has also been restored at
Alacao. The Portuguese are on the best terms with the Eng-
lish and neighbouring Indian Princes.
The Archbishop of Croniganor, D. P. Paulo de Aquino,
died on the 19th December.
The Lfrbon Gazette gives extracts from the Goa Gazette, de-
scribing the rejoicings that took place on the arrival of the news
from Lisbon.

THE THEATRE.

ITAYMAIIRET.—The plvasant little Farce en-
titled Of Age To-morrow, originally introduced on
the stage by Mrs. C. K ustaLE, was the first piece
on Saturday. The second drama was The Beggar's
Opera ; but previously Mr. Flit IZ EN came for-
ward to apologize for the unavoidable absence of
Miss PATON, who was to perform the hart of
Polly, ou account of illness, confirming the state-
ment by a certificate from her medical attendant.
He then stated that a young Lady who had pre-
pared herself for the part of Polly would under-
take it, with the consent of the audience. This
consent was readily accorded, and when the fair
noviciate 'appeared she was greeted with much
applause. She displayed great timidity at first,
but recovered, and went through the part at least
respectably. 'ln the duet, "Oh ! Polly, you
Might," &c. &c., she acquitted herself so well
• that she was encored, and was favourably re-
ceived during the whole of her,performance. Her
name is said to be HOLM Es. Why is Mrs. VES
TRIS absurdly continued in the part of Mac-
heath? Nothing can be more ludicrous than to
see such a dapper dandy in appearance at the
head of a band of ruffians. As well might a
cockchafer conspire with a hawk. Why is not
MELROSE put into the part ? Ile is respectable
both as a singer and an actor, and his figure is
well calculated for it.

We hope that the Managers of all our Theatres
will, on reflection, be co►►vinced that they ought
not to assign male characters to females, unless
the drama requires the assumption of virile attire
by females, in conformity to the fable. No in-
terest can be excited by the appearance of a
woman in a male character, but on the contrary
it is revolting to delicacy, particularly to the
female part of the audienCe.
