quities," was a native of Morpeth. Akenside the poet was
also born here, and was the son of a butcher. Luke Clennell,
a famous engraver, and Rastrick, the civil engineer, claim
Morpeth as their birth-place. It may also be mentioned that
Mr. Blakey, author of the " History of Moral Science,"

at present resident in, this little country market town.
We understand that Rossini is about to gratify the
musical world once more by the publication of several new
compositions, his latest productions. They consist of songs
and duets with Italian words, and are described as possessing
all the grace and beauty for which that eminent master is so
distinguished. It is expected that they will appear both in
London and Paris in the beginning of April.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 7, 1835.

In the House of Lords last night, the Earl of
RADNOR moved for copies of the oaths taken at Ox-
ford, and the oath taken, on matriculation, at Cam-
bridge. After some discussion, in which the Bishop
of LLANDAFF, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and
Lord BROUGHAM bore a part, the motion was agreed
to. In reply to a question from Lord RODEN, the
Duke of WELLINGTON said that it was the intention

of Ministers to propose a larger grant of money for
the purposes of national education than was voted last
Session.

In the House of Commons, Mr. WARD said that
he should withdraw his intended motion respecting the
Irish Church, and second the resolution to be proposed
by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The Marquis of CH ANDOS
announced his intention of bringing on the Repeal of
the Malt Tax next Tuesday. Sir R. PEEL, when asked
the question by Mr. O'CONNELL, declined to give any
answer as to the intentions of Government on this sub-
ject. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL gave notice of a Bill
to remedy the cases of Newspaper proprietors suffering
from penalties under the Newspaper Act. Sir J.
CAMPBELL'S Bill relative to Wills was read a first
time. A long and interesting debate, for which we
refer our readers to our Parliamentary report, took place
on Mr. SHEn's motion for the production of certain
documents on the subject of the legality or otherwise,
of Orange Societies, after which Mr. O'CONNELL
gave notice of a motion for the 27th of March, that
Orange Societies were unlawful, and therefore that
they should be suppressed. The House adjourned at
about eleven o'clock.

It will be observed, on reference to the debate last
night in the Lower House, that when Mr. HumE
gave notice that on Friday next—in case of every other
Member of the Opposition failing to do so—he would
move that the Supplies be granted for six months only,
instead of twelve, a great number of Members " Three,
three only,"--a petty significant hint of their distrust
of the good intentions of a Tory Government !.

In reply to a question put by COL. EvANs last night,
Sir ROBERT PEEL intimated, that the iatroduction
of the Financial Statements of the country before the
estimates were passed, would be a most inconvenient
course. M/. HUME expressed his dissent from that
opinion, whereupon Sir ROBERT made a somewhat
pettish complaint, that the Honourable Member was
sometimes most impatient for the Estimates to be laid
before the House. Mr. HUME retorted, he was not
so now ! and so the conversation dropped.
The lightest feathers sometimes best show the
wind's quarter. To a Government permanently es-
tablished, it might be a convenient routine to pass the
Estimates before the presentation of the Budget ; but
surely Ministers cannot suppose, from the apparent
lull that has succeeded the late conflict, that pub-
lic confidence has been already won. Yet, if
it were not strategy, it could only have
been from an overweening confidence in the belief that
the Minister ventured to launch such an observation.
The Government first asked for, and now with contu-
macy insists upon, a fair trial ; and although the Op-
position, after twice inflicting upon it a signal defeat
morally and numerically, still permit its existence, Sir
ROBERT has temerity enough to refer to the precedent
of " ancient courses," as if himself
Sand his colleagues
were firmly seated in power beyond all chance of re-
moval, and utterly forgetful of the tenure upon which
they conditionally hold it. This smacks very much of
weakness, immodesty, or trick.
The passing of the Estimates before the production
of the Budget would be equivalent to a declaration
of confidence—a parliamentary acknowledgment of
national faith in the trustworthiness of Government.
The trial they asked would, by such an act, have
passed, and the confidence been conceded I And
what would be the consequence upon any subse-
quent outvoting ?—a justified appeal to the people ?
With supplies in hand, an existing Government,
backed by the Crown and the House of Lords,
might laugh at the people ;—without them it defies the
Commons I What means, then, would the people
possess of casting off the yoke ?—none but that of
physical resistance, which commercial England, hard
as it may be pressed, can scarcely afford to employ.
As respects shrewd cunning, for the furtherance of
political aggrandisement, we cannot speak contemptu-
ously of the Tories—their possession of it is undis-
puted. Of their modesty or high-minded sensitiveness
we need say nothing—their present position proclaims
its character. But of their tricksy designs we are at
liberty to infer much from the apparent candour, yet
real craftiness of the Minister, when he spoke of in-
convenience. Well might he be pettish when he saw
that the stratagem was discovered ; that little word
seemed very innocent, but it was full of meaning—
and the meaning was understood !

Our Gracious SOVEREIGN is in a fair way of owing
more to a Tory Government than what the Conservative
faction facetiously enough term "the preservation of our
venerable institutions in Church and State." If titles
be a part of that divinity which " doth hedge a king,"
his MAJESTY of GREAT BRITAIN may shortly
calculate on another bramble shooting up in front of
his Sacred Person, compared with which all his former
ones must be overlooked and forgotten. To the war-
like prowess of his royal predecessors, his MAJESTY
stands indebted for the Crown of three kingdoms ; to
the zeal of a Roman Pontiff he owes the title of De-
fender of a Faith which he simply tolerates ; but to
the loyal, the Constitution-loving Tories, must he
look forward to the Constitutional title of Deputy
Grand Master of the Orangemen of Ireland
Do we attach any blame to the person of the So-

vErtEIGN for receiving the addresses presented to him
by the Orange Lodges of Ireland, the conduct of
which assemblies was so ably exposed last night by
Mr. SHEIL in his admirable speech in the House of

Commons? Heaven forbid 1 The KING had
nothing whatever to do with it. Whatever
may be his private feelings on such subjects, his
MAJESTY would be the last person in the king-
dom to take upon himself the responsibility of
giving his Royal sanction to any society unknown
to the laws, and the spirit of the British Constitution.
The act was not only in form, but in fact, the act of
the KING'S responsible advisers, and on them must

devolve the odium of it. The Times says, that al-
, though the Orangemen are not recognized by the law,
still they are not an unlawful body. Was there ever
heard more pitiful sophistry than this ? What, then,
become of the Acts of 1827, which prohibited their
assembling, if they be not unlawful ? For what other
cause have they been prevented from celebrating
the Orange Festival of the twelfth of July, by
parading in public in those parts of Ireland where
no disturbance was to be dreaded from their ap-
pearance or their numbers ? But why look be-
yond the simple fact of their organisation, and the
common object for which they are united, to know
that they are illegal societies ? Is not the very act of
administering an oath to the members, enjoining se-
cresy with respect to the unhallowed rites which
follow—a fact admitted by sworn Orangemen in the
House of commons—enough to establish the fact of
their illegality ? The Morning Herald, that hot-bed
of bigotted inconsistency, defends Orange lodges and
Orange addresses on the score of the existence of Rock-
