DOCTOR COPPINGER, who considers
.the Oaths prepared for Roman Catholics in At r. Plun-
kett's Bill, as amounting to an abjuration of the Catholic
Faith, and therefore to be indignantly rejected by every con-
scientious Roman Catholic, requests that his Parish Priests
of the United Diocese:of Cloyne and Ross, will meet him at
his Chapel in cove, on Thursday, ttie 29th instant, for the
purpose of declaring their sentiments upon this most vital

right by petsons (done ...ligious persuasion to the nomination

denominations of Christians, as impeding Orli-cc exercise of
religion, and invading the rights of conscience, and that on

[MORNING CIIRONICLE.IIt
We had expected that the Inconie and Charge
of the Consolidated Fund, for the quarter ending
on the sth M.A. would have been published on
Saturday, but contrary to our expectation, no
suet account appeared ; but we imagine, although
it cannot be a very flattering one, yet that it is to
be made known. The debt due to the Bank
from this Fund, on the sth April, was 8,497,4141.
and we apprehend the deficiency of the present
quarter will be near two millions. If so, then
this fund will be in delft to.the Bank upwards of
ten millions, and shourd the Revenue continue to
decline only in.the same ratio, the remaining two
quarters, this debt will be larger than the April
quarter's receipt. It will be remembered, that the
Bank has no power to repay itself but out of the
next quarter's Revenue ; so that in January next
the advance will, in all probability, be larger
than can be re-paid out of the groWing pro-
duce of the next quarter: 'lt is useless longer to
consider this fund sacred ; it is used for all pur-
poses, instead of constantly, as in former times,
appropriating the surplus of it to the Ways and
Means of the year. We have an annual defi-
ciency, which has accumulated now to above ten
millions, which we suppose must next year be
discharged by loan ; and added to, 801,565,3101.
of Funded Debt, and 30 millions of Unfunded;
will be of no great consequence, for whether our
Debt is .840 or 900 millions, seems in the pre-
sent times to
.be of no importance. And after
six years of peace, we find ourselves without a
Sinking Fund of one shilling (this year) towards
the liquidation of this enormous and frightful
debt, without the cheering prospect of increasing
Income, but, on the contrary, with a declining
one. We do not wonder at 1792 being a dis-
agreeable period of contrast to his Majesty's Mi-
nisters, as the following statement will spew:--.
FUNDED DEBT (UNITED KINGDOM).
1792 about 240 millions
1821 about 800 do.
About 560 millions increase in 28 years.
UNFUNDED DEBT (UNITED KINGDOM).
1792 about 10 millions
1821 about 40 do.
About 30 millions increase..
GROSS REVENUE (UNITED KINGDOM).
1792 about 18 millions
1821 about 62 do.
About 44 millions increase.

INTEREST OF NATIONAL DEIST, FUNDED ANDUNFLINDED
(UNITED KINGDOM).
•
1792 about 10 millions
1321 about 48 do.
About 36 millions increase annually.
EXPENCE OF GOVERNING THE UNITED KINGDOM.
1792 about 8 millions
•
1821 about 25 do.
About 17 millions increased expence annually.
And, we should here remark, that Corn, and many other ar-
ticles, bear nearly the same price at present as they did in the
year 1792.

EPITAPHS.

A Correspondent encloses the following re-
marks in reply to' the paragraph in THE SUN of
the 26th ult. entitled " The vanity of Epi-
taphs" :
There are but few, and they are not enviable Characters, who
grudge the harmless flattery of an Epitaph. It very seldom
happens that an Epitaph is so sported with as to be made an
ironical memento of a departed friend. I will allow, for the
purpose too of illustrating more fully the illiberality of the sen-
timent " that the extreme limits of the vanity of man termi-
nate in an Epitaph ;" and that the Epitaph arrays a list of qua-
lities which the deceased never merited. I shall ask by whose
hand has this Epitaph been traced ? Seldom is it written by
the individual defunct previous to death ; for'few, and they
are eccentric beings, are inclined to anticipate so seriously their
end : or, if they do, theycan scarcely dare to leave behind them
that which conscience would tell them must be a lasting record
of a lying tongue; very few can be desirous of committing that
error, for which they never can atone. Then if the hand of a
friend has " erected this frail memorial iiigh,"'on what
principle can it be made " a testimonial of the pride of the
living ?" In my travels, I have seen but few instances, where
the name of the individual paying this last tribute, has been
inscribed ; and when it has been so, where is the crime ? We
do all feel a satisfaction, which is pride, in doing that which we
think we ought to do, and it is just pride. Supposing that the
epitaph is a blazoned falsehood—whom does it injure, or whose
principles contaminate ? Surely, few would lead an irre-
gular life, because they have witnessed an adulatory, un-
just epitaph upon a being who once existed : then the force of
bad example cannot be urged. To one who may be a stranger
to the relatives of the deceased, and who had been such to the
mortal on whose tomb the epitaph may be—that epitaph if re.
cording either in simple or gaudy language, virtues of a com-
mon or rare kind, and ascribing such tothe departed being, such,
I should think, would induce and encourage posterity to follow the
pattern of human life there recorded for observation, in the hope
that they may carry to the grave the esteem of their friends, and
merit it after death. Nor is this the only use or purport of the epi-
taph. When one to whom we have been fondly attached can
amuse or instruct us no more, and when,in return, all the atten-
tions we would gladly continue to pay, can never more be receiv-
ed,when the recollection ofpast hours of sincere and happy friend-
ship, and of subjects which had been imprinted on our minds,
from peculiar circumstances, can no longer, or again, be dis-
coursed between us, when we remember every trivial offence
that vainly we would wish to amend, and regret that they ever
occurred, the heart overflowing with unaffected regret and sor-
row, seeks consolation:in the resource alone that is left, of in-
scribing on the tomb the then painful feelings of attachment,
gratitude, and friendship, in the epitaph on that friend. A.

TiliCT-HEATRES.

CO,YENT GARDEN.—The Musical Drama of
Henri Quatre was rende,red more interesting at
this Theatre last night, by the return of Miss
FOOTE. in the part of Louison, The' traces of
her recent indisposition were obvious, and shewed
that it had not been of a slight nature; She was
well received, and exerted herself with spirit.
The illness of Mr. C. KEMBLE occasioned the as-
signment of his part to Mr. CONNOR, and that of
the latter to Mr. COMER, an assiduous and useful
young actor. The play was followed by the
efforts of two uncommon Performers. They were
announced to exhibit " exercises of grace,
strength, and agility, and attitudinal imitations
of the most celebrated Statues of antiquity by the
two Herculeos of France, the Sieurs Dtcot:a
and EBRAYAT."— Far from condemning the
Managers, we pity them for the, necossity of re-
sorting to such ...exhibitions, as we do our Mi-
nisters. forythe unavoidable policy of rejecting
the claims QC Merit and Service, in'order to se-
cure the impdrtant object of Parliarnelitaii sup-:
port. The4aste 'of the public, at all times va-
riable,. caprieious, and uncertain, is now vitiated
and contemptible, and Managers are therefore
obliged to resort to any novel expedient that may
attract popular attention. Thii two Frenchmen
last night fulfilled the promise, of the Play-
bills,. and displayed extraordinary proofs
of personal strength ; and the imitations
of the remains of ancient Sculpture were striking.
The exhibition altogether deserved a more fa-
vourable reception than it experienced, 'and the
muscular exertions, in particular, were not un-
worthy of the notice even of the Philosopher and
the Moralist, in shewing how much -the human
powers.may be improved and increased by prac-
tice and perseverance.

ANECly)TE.—The•Duchess of •NEWthS,TLg, who
was a great. wiriter of Plays'and-Romancesin the
time of CHARLES 11., asked Bishop WILKINS,
who had juskqnnounced his discovery of a World
in the Alo,gni how she could get there. "As the
journey," said she, " must needs be very long,
there .will :be possibility of going through it
without stopping by the way."_ Your Grace,"
replied the Bishop, "'can be at no loss for places
to stop at, as you' have built so many castles in
(lie air."

. GENOA.
[From the" Genoa Gazette" of the 18th ult.]
The most. p-e6.ect tranquillity continues to be
enjoyed most.
; so much so, that even the most
timid no longer feel any apprehensions., The
course of the government is the same as if no
change bad ever 'occurred, or as if what. has ac-
tually taken place existed only in the decrees of
,the Junta of Turin. Our security is not less,
founded on the excellent disposition with which
all the inhabitants are animated, than on the Mi-
litary force at present stationed at Genoa., Be-
sides the regiment of the Queen, which remained
here during the late transactions, thee entered
yesterday a battalion of Cacciatori, a troop
of cavalry; and other royal troops. are very
shortly expected.—Count Babna, Commander--
in-Chief of the Austrian troops, in a despatch
directed to General de Latour, has evinced the
most favourable disposition towards the Genoese,
as will appear from the following document,
which we feel it our duty to make public :

A
A-.LESSANDRIA, APRIL 13.
" I no sooner read the Proclamation of Genoa, than I gave
orders to my vanguatd, which had advanced as far as Novi, to half.
Perceiving Des-Geneys tb be at the head of die Government,
I no longer felt any doubts of the submisiion.of the duchy to
the King's orders; and therefore excuse myself from any pro-
ceeding that may. cause inquietude to the Genoese."
Within these few days a great- number Of dis-
banded soldiers, and other individuals compro-
mised by,theitte Revolution, have directed their
course towards. Genoa. With a view;of Prevent-
ing the disorders to which the assembling of :such
a body in, the city might have given -rite; the
precaution w4s adopted of directing the soldiers
at the neighbouring barracks to permit very few
persons to enter the city, and of securing quar-
ters for: the greater part of the fugitives' in the'
suburb of SanPierda Reina. They have Subse-
quently" hired some vessels, and under the oid•-
ance of .a few officers, have embarked, as it is
supposed, for Spain. Not a few have embarked
also at Savona.

ROME, APRIL 13.—8 y the last accounts from
Naples, all was quiet in the capital ; but the Aus-
trians had made little progress in their-advances to-
wards the south. The Members of the Parliament,
who still considered themselves as possessed of the
right to discuss public affairs,notwithstanding the
'prohibition of Austria, hid taken up their residence
in the capital of Hither Calabria. The..4Ustrians
Say that they'have been thence, dislodged, and
that the province of Hither Calabria is 'now in
their. pOssession ; but I have- heard ~no .confirma-
tion of this account. The King of .Maples must
believe every thing settled, ortherwise he would
not return.; and the King, though no genius, is
jocularly said.) to know the Neapolitans and the
weather better. than any of his subjects. It is
believed, however, that he will not immediately
proCeed to his, capital, but will remain some days
at ROme—probably
.the whole of the ensuing
week, if not longer.

INGIMARPIICENOMEN ON. A :Wheelwright,
residing at Petersfield, in Hampshire; in cutting
up, some oaktimber lately, found a larg,e quan-
tity of hair inthe Very centre of the tree,which Was
of considerable dimensions. The hair- wlasin the
most perfect state of pres!rvition, althciito,,from
the depth at which it was embedded -in ,the wood;
there Can be no doubt' that it had beetbere up-
wards of, sixty years. It is conjecatM,t`Jhat a
cavity had originally been made in the`.loec, and
that after the hair .had been deposited, part of
the wood was immediately replaced; and:that in
process of time the bark grew over it, and-re-
united it to the parent trunk, and thus caused
this singular phcenomenon. -The result of
thetspeculations of the moral philosophers and
naturalists who have examined it, is, that the
hair was the offering of a swain, who had devised
this 'curious plan for perpetuating the memorial
of some sylvan nymph's attachment to him; but it
is to be lamented that he slid not inscribe on the
happy tree, after the good old fashion of the
Phrygian Shepherd, as it would no doubt have
thrown great,light upon the historyof some,indi-
vidu,als no less distinauished for their romantic
gallantry, than for lair connection- with many..'
.interesting events in the history of this beautiful
and picturesque district; and we Can only ac-
count for the omission by supposing that the'-pro-
phetic mind of the ingenious
_lover suggested the
possibility of a change of sentiment too cennnon
in all'ages, and that he feared such au inscription
might record his perfidy ; for we read how the
unhappy drone appealed to the poplar, on,Wbich
the faithless PARIS had inscribed his vows of
eternal ,fidelit"Y, when Spartan fictix seduced
him from her arms.

sire measures respecting the Ottoman Power.—
I t is impossible, we think, to look back upon
the two wars between Russia and Turkey in the
latter part of the last century, without perceiv-
ing a regular continuation of ambitious design on
the part of Russia, and that the Porte is now in
the same state of weakness and distress ;—viz.
that of owing its existence as an empire only to
the intervention of those European. Powers which
are interested in preventing its total downfal.

The Empress Catherine laid open without dis-
guise the vast sphere of aggrandizement which
her policy embraced. She extorted from, Turkey
the Crimea. She extorted a still more really
important, though apparently moderate conces-
sion—the having Russian Consuls in the Pro-
vinces of Bessarabia, Moldavia, and Wallachia,
which were really agents to-excite the Greeks.
She forced the Russian flag into the Mediterra-
nean and Archipelago. This was not all. She openly
avowed . the design of establishing a second Ern-,-
pire, and placing the Russian Prince Constantine
upon the throne of Constantinople. The inter-
vention of other European powers, justly alarmed
by- the spoliatory alliance between Russia and
the Em-peror of Germany—so odiously successful
in the dismemberment of Poland—saved Turkey
from immediate destruction. This intervention—
the somewhat straightened circumstances of
Russia at the time—the eruption of the French
Revolution, and the memorable wars to which it
has given birth, diverted Russia from this project'
of a new Empire. But there now appears but
one opinion, that Alexander has been for some
time mancnuvring for its revival. Without some
such design, his half a million of troops of the
line could scarcely be reconciled with pacific in-
tentions towards the great Confederacy of Eu-
rope ; and there are those who pretend that the
agitations in Italy were but a pretext for march-
ing the Russian troops towards the vicinity of the
Turkish frontier, in order to be promptly disposa-
ble as circumstances may require.—(lbid.)

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a Special Court of Common Council
was held, for the purpose of resuming the debate
on the Report of the Bridge House Committee,
relative to London Bridge. Before the Court
entered into- the business of the day,
The LORD IVIA-voa laid before the Court two
letters from Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins, in answer to
what had been stated in that Court respecting
him. The Lord Mayor said, although the pro-
ceeding was not regular, yet, as it appeared to be
a matter so highly important to the character of
the individual, he did not conceive any objection
would be made against it.—(The letters were
then read. They were addressed, the one to the
Lord Mayor, and the other to Mr. Pullen, the
Ex-Under Sheriff. They have already appeared
before the public.)

Mr. DIXON, with respect to that which he had
stated of Mr. Parkins, said, he had made it on
the authority of that individual's own signature :
for at the time he made the statement, he held in
his hand copies of the receipts of two half year's
fees, signed by Mr. Parkins, as having received
the sums from the office of the Chamberlain.

Mr. PULLEN thought it his duty to state, in
explanation of what appeared to have created the
misunderstanding, that although the sums stated,
which did not amount to more than 3 or 4001.
had certainly been received out of the hands of
the Chamberlain, yet -it was nevertheless true
that none of it had gone into the pockets of Mr.
Parkins, but it had been paid for the fee farm
rents and other ex pences, which left but a little
or no surplus. The great emoluments derived in
the Shrievalty were from the poundage pcid to
the Sheriffs, as Sheriff for the county of Middle-
sex, and of tbese emoluinents Mr. Parkins had
not received one farthing.
After some further observations from Mr. Al-
derman Waldman, Messrs. Hurcombe, Peacock,
Taylor, and Dixon, in explanation, the letters
were referred to the Sheriffs' Committee, for them
to examine and report upon.

self from the regiment without leave, from the
12th to the 23d July, during the period of train-
ing and exercise, and, having been found guilty
of crime charged, he was sentenced to solitary

THE TH EATRES.

DRURY-LANE.-The Opera of Rob Rod, was
repeated last night for the purpose of. again intro=
ducing Mr. M.AcKAy in the part of the Baillie
Jarvie. His performance was simple, correct,
and striking, and would, no doubt, have made
a stronger impression if it had not been anticipat-
ed by the luxuriant originality of LISTON. We
ought to have before noticed CoorEa's perform-
ance of Rob .Roy. It was manly, animated, and
effective throughout, and perhaps may be consi-
dered as the best that has yet been seen on the
London Boards. •
COVENT GA It DEN.--The Tragedy of Hamlet
was represented at this Theatre last night, a§. it
was Understood, for the private benefit of Miss
DANCE. Mr. C. K EDIBLE gave a very fine
and impressive portrait of the Danish Prince,
and was much applauded. Mr. FARItEN was
the Polonius, and he sustained the pao with-
out that buffoonery which is too often intro-
duced in it. Miss DANcF for the first time,
appeared in the character of Ophelia.—She
was a • very interesting representative of the
part, and in the mad scene operated so power-
fully on the feelings of a lady in the Pit that
she fainted. Miss DANCE afterwards displayed
the variety of her talents by a spirited perform-
ance of Maria in The Citizen.

Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted mi-
litary business with the KING, at his Palace in
Pall-mall.—The Marquess of ANGLESEA had an
audience of the KING yesterday.—Yesterday
tl:e Duchess of KENT and the Princess VITTOR/A
