MATCH OF TWENTY MILES.

Halton, the Nottinghamshire pedestrian, started on Thurs-
day morning early, for one hundred sovereigns, to go on foot
from the one to the eleven mile-stone and back, on the Rom-
ford-road, (twenty miles) in two hours and ten minutes. The
match is nearly equal to the same distance in two hours, when
the two miles through Bow and Stratford are taken into consi-
deration. The pedestrian performed the first two miles in II
minutes, and five miles in 29 minutes two seconds. H e reached
the eleventh mile-stone in one hour and three minutes, drank a
tumbler of wine, and started back. He had twenty-six mi-
nutes to perform the last four miles in, and he won Ly half a
minute, but not without much perseverance, as he was all abroad
at getting home, and was put to bed.

COLONIAL CURRENCY.

Mr. BENNET moved fora return shriving the quantity of

opportunity of noticing a practice which had prevailed -in' New

Dollar which was in: currency there,: so as to increase its nomi-
nal value. He trusted that Ministers would adopt some plan to
check this practice. •
The CHANCELLOR,of the EXCHEQUER said, there
was every motive, as well ac every disposition on the part of
the Government to check the evil complained of; and measures;
had already been taken with a view to prevent inequality in
the currency as to all the Colonies.: lie hoped those: measures'
would prove effectual, thOugh the subject; had required much
time and consideration.--Themotion was agreed to.

[URITISH PRESS.]

Too much praise cannot be given to the exem-
plary promptitude with which Ministers ha-ve
guarded the commercial interests of this country,
by forming a settlement on the north coast of
New Holland. The infinite advantages of this
to Great Britain must be manifest to every one,
on consulting the chart of the New World,
which our British navigators, the pioneers of ci-
vilization, have opened to the spirit of British
enterprize. The Timour sloop of war set sail
a few weeks since, with dispatches and in-
structions for the accomplishment of this most
important expedition. This mission and its ob-

ject was within our knowledge at the time, but
we most scrupulously abstained from observing
upon it, being aware of what moment it was

that the utmost secresy should be observed, lest
the active jealousy of the Dutch should be
roased by any intelligence that might get abroad
previous to the sloop's departure. She is now far
enough on her destination to render all further
precaution needless, and our further silence on

the subject becomes no longer necessary. Per-
laps no point of settlement could hare been se-
.ected better adapted than that which has been

here chosen, for the establishing an inter-
course with these valuable Eastern Islands,
among which we have at present no posses-
sion. It was the sound policy of acquiring one
which led to the settlement projected to his
Majesty's croverntnent by an individual every
way qualified to appreciate its value, and which
was adopted by Lord Bathurst, wither decision that
does the highest credit to his discernment. The
Dutch, having hitherto had no rival, have con-
sequently engrossed the whole trade in those
quarters, and were visibly inclined to act upon
the same principle which influenced them pre-
viously to the late war, of totally excluding our
merchants from all share in their profitable mo-

nopoly. The inclination of the natives of those
islands is well known to be favourable to the
English, which not only makes the present ex-
pedition more politic, but makes it an object of
much readier attainment. It will be seen by
the charts that the access is easy, the anchorage
good, and the communication with Port Jack-
s" n, the Cape of Good Hope, the Isle of France,
China, end India, is immediate ; the situation
being nearly central. The Aroo Islands, Banda,
Amboyna, Ceram (or the Celebes), 'Timor, and
New Guinea, are ail within a few days sail of
the new settlement. The Gulf of Carpentaria

ATTACK ON • CHURCIITOWN i3.attßncrs. 'lr.
Farrell arrived in town from England, at two o'clock • on Sa-
turday, with the following prisoners, and accompanied by Peace.
officer Macartney ;—Timothy Breneshan, P. Al'A uli ff and J.
Neenehan, the three prisoners who were arrested -in London,
charged with having, with others attacked the police at Church-
torn, county of Cork, underwent an examination before the Ma-
gistrates on Saturday. Bryan Carr, one of the peace constables
on duty at Churchto wn on the 31st of January, 1822, and whose
skull had been so dreadfully fractured as to render recovery
very astonishing, appeared in the office, and without hesita-
tion, identified Breneshani as having been one of the assail-
ants on the terrible night in question, when a lawless band of
murderers attacked the police, killed three, and wound.A
eight.. There had bean several houses burned on the occa-
sion. Another of the prisoners bore the marks of the conflict,
one of his fingers being nearly cut away :—all three supported
themselves in London (since they, as it is presumed, fhA from
this country) by working as bricklayer's labourers. They kept
up their spirits tolerably well on the journey, but on nearing the
Irish shore in the packet, they became completely chop-fallen.
They will be sent to Cork immediately to take their trial for
the serious offence with which they stand charged. The prisoners
have left town for Cork. Their trial will take place during the

SUPERANNUXTION FUND TAX.

Mr. MABERLY moved for a return of the number and
amount of all the salaries and emoluments received by the sc-
veral public officers, who were liable to pay the 10 per cent. on
the Superannuation Fund. The Honourable Gentleman said,
this tax was a most unfair one, and paid by only eighty per-
sons in the State.

Sir J. YORKE said, that the measure was proposed by the
late Marquis of Londonderry, as one of economy ; and the pe..
cular language of that lamented Statesman was, that " to re-
linquish it, would be to turn our backs upon ourselves.r He
(Sir J. Yorke) supposed economy was what we had to depend
upon, for he presumed there was as much idea of paying off the
national debt, as there was of bottling Off the Atlantic.
Sir S. 'WORTLEY hoped that his Majesty would withdraw
the Order in Council which forced the payment of the tax. fie
thought every thing should be done to serve those who were
old servants. •

Mr. F. BUXTON thought there were no persons so badly
paid as his Majesty's Ministers.
Mr. CALCRAFT said, that he disliked the idea of consi..
dering his Majesty's Ministers as taking their places for the
sake of profit. Ile believed that they were actuated by much
Letter motives. Lord Camden did a noble act, by sacrificing
8,000!. a year, to relieve the burthens of the people.—( Hear! )—.
He hoped the flouse would do every thing to promote economy,
until the people were relieved.
Mr. ELLICE said, that he concurred in the view which the
Hon. Member for Yorkshire (Mr. S. Wortley) had taken of the
subject. He thought the officers who filled the higher situa-
tions in the State ought to be well paid, and he did not think
it would be burdensome to the people to do so. Whenever such
a proposition came before the House he would tote for it.
Mr. P. GRENFEI.I. said, that he was anxious to have the
fullalariesgiven to the persons alluded to.
• •

Mr. W. SMITH said, that he could not see any impropriety
in taking off the tax of 10 per cent. He agreed with his Hon.
Friend (Mr. Calcraft) in believing that the public officers had a
desire to serve their country in responsible offices in the State,
and not a wish for emolument. _ _ _

Mr. MABERLY said, that the State was best served when
they paid its public officers. If such were not done, all those
persons of talent were shut out from them unless they had in-
dependent fortunes.
Mr. BANKES thought the measure which he had supported
on a former night, relative to the superannuation fund, was a.
measure of economy, and therefore expedient.

CURIOUS OCCURRENCE.

VISITATION OF HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN
TO CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL.-lIIS GRACE RE-
FUSED ADMISSION!!!

DUBLIN, JUNE 28.—His Grace the Archbishop of Ms-
LIN had given notice that he should hold a Visitation yesterday
at Christ Church, in consequence of Mr. Smith, the Musical
Composer., having obtained a writ of mandamus directing
his Grace so to do, for the purpose of hearing that Gen-
tleman's complaint against the Dean and Chapter, who
had removed him from his situation in the Choir. On his
Grace arriving at the Chapter-room door, the Verger refused
him admission; and- being asked by whose authority he did
so—he answered, " by order of the Dean and Chapter,"
and that he received those orders both before and after his
Grace's Citation, which, according to Canon Law, had been
served 28 days preVious to the .Visitation. Whereupon, aftersome conversation with the Learned Civilian, sir Henry Mere-
dyth, his Grace three times distinctly called over the names of
railb,nleita andrie s Very
and the Dean and Chapter, viz. The Right Tine oi
nt
Reverend the Bishop of Kildare, Dean ;
the Prebendaries, &c., who, being absent, and not answering,
his Grace pronounced each and every of them " contumacious,"
in that solemn, emphatic, and fceling manner, which the occa-
sion so justly required, and for which his Grace is so eminently
distinguished.. The Archbishop then adjourned the Visitation
to the Bth of July next, in St. Patrick's Cathedral.

The venerable Earl of MAR set off last week
for London, in order to pay his respects to the KING, upon his
restoration to the Peerage. Gratitude, we understand, and the
high feeling of the aged Nobleman, have induced him to under-
take this fatiguing journey, though Parliament was kind
enough to dispense with his attendance at the imposition of the
oaths. 'llis interview with the King is to be private, and he will
be subjected to as little trouble and-exertion as possible. We
cannot hqp expressing our earnest wish and hope, that this
almost chivalous expedition of the worthy old Earl may be
attended with no dangerous consequences, and that his unex-
pected appearance in London, into which there has been no
such importation of romance and romantic association, if we
except the Scotch novels, since the days of William the Con-
queror—will be productive of equal plczyst:tre to his Alajesty

little doubt but that a force of from 1,500 to
2,000 soldiers or marines would in the course of
a very few weeks amply avenge the insulted
honour of the British standard, put down the sa-
vage force of a horde of sanguinary barbarians,
and establish peace and tranquillity along the
whole range of coast, and far into the interior.
