HENRY GOULBURN.

SAINT MARY, NEWINGTO
SELECT VESTRY BILL. .

The Population of the Parish exceeds thirty

thousand persunsi 'I I.e Parish has fur some )ears past beeii
Othlatilly disturbed by contending Parties, and the Vestries,
able!) are held in the Church, have been most dismili tly and.
tumultuous. A Party has for a considerable time taken the
lead, and lots kept the Parish it perpetual commotion --
Meetings of time, Inliabitants hare been called by them on
various, Occasions by ;mans of most violent Placards; such
Meetings have been held at a public botise previous to Easter,
for the purpose oftboosim; persons to fill the different Parish
Otticei, in opposition to the •more respectable part of the
Parish. The Inhabitants have then been called to the Vestry
by the same Party, by means of the ttnist inflammatory II ind
13111+, anti the Persons chosen at the prior Meetings hare then
been appointed•

The Meetings have by these means been so numerous and
riotOus, that gotid ot•der could not be maintained, and nu
►eZular business could be conducted. The- Magistrates at
Union ILO! have even found it necessary to send their Otfii•ers
to aid in keeping the peace. Many old, and other most
respectable Inhabitants, who have passed through the different
Parish Offices; are now deterred from attending the Vestries,
in consequence of the insults they have rs cei yid, and the dis-
graceful proceedings they have witnessed ; Reso!otionsof the
most libellous and illegal tendency have been passed; men
of inferior situations in life, and not qualified as required by
the local act, have been appointed Governors mid Guardian's
of the Poor, and Persons the most unfit have been put into
the ditl:rent Parish Offices. •

Four Persons, one of whom is a Chutchw•arden, chosen by
the N'estry, and two other GovernorS and Guar-di:sus of the
Poor, chuseit by these riotous Meetings, were convicted at
the list Surrey Assizes of pu!ilishing a false
.and malicious
Libel against the Rector's Warden, nail this Lihrl was con-
tained in a Resolution of one of these V.stries.

Several ot hei s of these Persons are new also under prosecu-
tion, for having acted as Governors and Guardians of the
Your, without being qualified.
.The mode of repairing the High Ways, whisk has been pnr.
sued as far as the recollection of the oldest Inhabitant ex_
tends, and Wilt universal satisfaction, has been altered by the
interference of these Parties, -;ind has produced the'greatest

incons:cniencc and dissatisfaction in. the Parish.

For th,se and many other reasons, which wilt hr more
fully stated in the Committee, art! in order that the affairs of
the Parish may.be ctinditcted in an orderly and beneficial man-
ner, the ItectOr, and other Inhabitants, hare petitioned for
this Bill, which is similar to that lat• ly passl.4 for St. Pan-
crus, as well as
.1 hose for St. Maryiebotu,;. St. George's,
Ilanurtr Square; St. Martin's in the Fields; and many ut her
populous Parishes,

In order to excite an'opposition to this. Bill, it has been ciT,
culated throughout the Parish,.that all Dissenters are...to he
.excluded by it from all sillices. This; is not correct, nor is it
- •
the wish or intention of any of the Parties who support it,'tu
exclude or it*, object to a• due proportiou•of Dissenters being
appointed, except as th the "office of Church Warden. An
office which many- conscientious Dissenters refuse. to accept,.
and which by 1 IVill. Sess. I,•Cap. 18, they are empowered,
if appointed, to execute by Deputy.
Since the first part of this Statement was printed, a 'Vestry
has been hoiden to take this Bill 7,.iirto consideration. The
Rector was as usual, and hissed on leaving the
Chair. All who supported the .Bill wcre likewise hissed. The
Parish Warden (above alluded to,) winced to concur with the
Itector•s Warden in putting the Vestry Act in fart e ; in
consequence of which-, at least 600 persons, ineholing hoes,
and others wit frzal;), eolitled to attend, were present, and
held up their hand, ata'Aist the Bill.
The Second Reading is appointed for Friday next, the; 2d
of 14atch, when it will come on as an Order of the Day.

On Saturday last a cow the property of IsiAc
SNirrit, Oi Kendal, produced a calf, whiCh had a
head resembling a shark ; excrescence like
a tail projected resembling
the middle of the, back, and

- Fu.n. 2.—The ifollowing is the
remarkable Speech with which his. Majesty ;the
King of Sweden and Norway opened the Nor:
wegian Diet
ii.EPRESENTATIVES OF THE NATION !
iC Six years have elapsed Since your 'King ac-
cepted the Compact that united you to a nation de-
:scolded from the same ancestors as, yourselves—
.Whicll secured -yon:liberty,.and plaCod you in the
rank of independent nations.
" The Report, which will be laid before you,
of the state of lhe kingdom, will enable you to
appreciate the 'advantages of your present situa-
tion. No nation has obtained-Rights and a Con-
stitutional guarantee with fewerSacriiiCes that* the
Norwegian Nation. -
But in order to preserVe these valtiable gifts
of Heaven, let us. consider that no peoplo'areivor-
thy to be free who do not know how to Ire free
under the laws. Let us not forget that many
States have long struggled against despotism and
civil war ; and that' others, after weathering all
storms, have found themselves obliged to limit

and modify rights, which .the intoxioation of the
passions had abused., On examining the trea-
sures of Administration which have been adopt-
ed since the Diet of 1818, yon will convince
yourselves of the paternal care of your Govern-
meat, and of the constant activity with which it
watches over your welfare. Undoubtedly much
still remains for us to do. Our Civil and Penal
Code is not yet completed. The balance and
the due gradation of the Branches of Autho-
ritY are Hot yet clearly fixed ; but the reserve
which I have exercised in all things that required
my royal interference afford you the most perfect
seenrity.
The Budget, and the satisfactory view of the

3ev:•nues of the kingdom, will give you initiate

information respecting your resources, and fur,
nish you with means to •adopt those resources
which are the best calculated to fulfil the na

tional obligatiOns. The. negociation -with the Da-
nish Government,— respecting the public debt of
Norway ,is terminated. 1 I the share of Norway• had
been according to Art. 03 of the Constitution,
and to the proportion O the population, Norway
_ .

must have been burdened with a third part of that
debt ; but the arguments which your Govern-
rent found means to enforce have reduced this
share much below the sum which was charged
upon this country. •
" Providence has blessed our harvests. The
rapid improvement of our Agriculture will, I
hope, soon seciri.e us against the possible recur.:
renc•e of distress in future. •

" Agriculture, Manufactures, and Mechatiica
Arts, are three great sources of public welfare—
sourtes which never dry .up for a temperate and
industrious people.
. _ _

" The commercial situation of `or►rav feels

the restraint which now exists in all parts of the
world : let us hope that circumstances will be-
come more favourable ; and let us, ii 4 the mean
time, repair by industry, frugality, and wisdom,
the embarrassment which this' stagnation causes.
" The relations of peace and amity between

le two kingdoms of the Scandinavian Penhisttla

and Foreign Powers continue on the most friend-
ly footing ; and it is with real •pleasure that I
feel myself able to announce to you, that not,
withstanding the unpleasontoccurrences at Bothe,
I have every reason to hope that our Commercial
Relations will not suffer. any restrictions, in con-
sequence of an event which appeared in a very
unfavourable light.
" The Government of Great Britain has dis,
played on this occasion a spirit of moderation,
the v, hole value orwhich 1 acknowledge, and it
becomes our d:Anity to act in a manner corres-
ponding, with this spirit. The sentiments of Powers
are not measured by the respective strength
of States, but according to the solidity of the
political institutions and to the independence of
nations. The 'object of your King will always
be to• maintain the absolutely indispensable
guarantee for States of the second rank, which
preserves tl►e repose of nation;. His will shall
never be any other than the will of the laws—
his glory is inseparable from your freedom."

iTOPFS AND FE-1115.—A day of Drawing is ge-
nerally a day of anxiety ; and as no one knows
to whom the Prizes will fall, every one has a
• right to entertain the best hopes• for
This pleasing anticipation, however, must be
converted into dread, on the part of those persons
who, laving bought -before. Valentine's Day,
availed thetuSelves of the Contractors' offer to
-take back their Numbers after having had the
'chance of the First Day's Drawing.—These lin-
gerers-on the threshold of Fortune, must look
• forward with no little apprehension to the events
of To-Monaow (ThUrsday), when it may prove
that
.the very Numbers they•gave up were all or
part of the Six E 21,000 Prizes now in the Wheel.
The returned Numbers (which hoWever are very.
few) are the only- ones now on 'sale; and it is
possible, that by an early application they-may
have a part of them back again, unless they are
anticipated by the numerous applicants •who are
daily thronging for the rejected Tickets and
Shares.

NEW lIA YMAIIKET TITEXTRE.--The size of
this Theatre, now rebuilding, will be nearly the
same as the old one. The boxes and seats will
be more commodious, and the lobbies, passages,
and staircases, more spacious. It will be just
the• old' favourite Theatre, upon an improved
plan, with the same style of 'entertainments that
rendered it so long and so deservedly popular.

THE CATHOLIC QUESTION.

We understand that it is the intention of the Ge

neral Committee of Protestants of all Denornina-
lions residing in the Metropolis and its vicinity,
in case the Catholic Petition is referred to a
Committee of the House of Commons, to petition
both Houses of Parliament against the admission
of Papists into the Legislature and the State.—
It was this Committee who in 1813 presented

Petitions to Patlian3ent on this subject—that to
the House of Lords was signed by 61,7-15 per-
sons, whose names and residences were sub-
scribed io it ; and that to the House of Commons

signed by G 0,816 personsi in like manner.—
The ex penc4-,. attending-these Petitions for parch-
ment, ad vertkernents, and printing, exceeded
600/. The following- was the forma of the Yeti-
,
tion used on that occasion :
". To the Right Ilon. the -Lords Si ritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled ;
" The llumblz. Petition of the underAigned• Inhabitants of the

Cries of London and NVestminSter, and their Environs-

• " Sheweth,.
" That your Petitioners observe with astonishment and alarm
the persevering efforts of the Roman Catholics to obtain admis-
sion t 9 all Offices of Trust and Authority, both Civil and ME-
• tarn and to•the exercise of. Legislative Functions.
• " That it is with unfeigned satisfactim they see their fellow-
subjectS of the Romish Church freed from all pains and penal-
•. ties on'aeCountrof their religion, and in the full enjoyment of the
blessings • of ,Toleration ;—bnt. your Petitioners feel it their
botinden duty, not only to themselves but to posterity, to resist
their mdeavOurs (notwithstanding the numerous concessions al-
' ready made to them) to get possession of Political Power and
Legislative Authority, and thereby to destroy that Protestant
,Ascendancy, to which the People of this Country are indebted,
pricier Providence, for the Establishment of their Liberties on a
firm and solid basis; for they consider it as a fixed and unalter-
able principle.of our glorious Constitution as settled at the Re-
volution, that the Legislative and Executive Authorities of tl.fs
Protestant Country can be administered only by Protestants.
" That your Petitioners regard the LaWs by which that prin.
ciple.is established. as no less sacred and inviolable than Magna
Charm and the Habeas Corpus Act; and they implore your
Lordships steadfastly to reject all applications for the repeal of
th.,i2. Laws."

TO THE PROTESTANT ADVOCATES
FOR UNRE3TRICTED POPISEI ENI.LNCIPATION.

Cause and consequence (If SSir 17.4ncounr LEES,
Bart., writing the ANTIDOTE, and other
Works, in this Country. _ _ _

There appeared to be a general conviction that
Emancipation was to be conceded to Papists.—
Protestants, from gross ignorance of its nature,
were petitioning in favour of the measure, from
the largest Towns, as well as the smallest Vil-
lages ; either an universal apathy,or an unmanly
terror, prevented the well affected from stirring, ;
and Mr. PLUNKETT, their great and able advo-
cate, had just declared, in a Public Letter to a
Chairman of a Popish Meeting,—" lie was at a.
lots to find a pretenCe for excluding Papists from
Offices of Trust and Seats in Parliament.''Un-
tier these awful circumstances of Ignorance and
dismay, I sat dOwn trs write my Antidote, and
such was the immediate sensation it occasioned,
that in a few weeks it went through five large
editions.—The streets adjoining the Printer's
and Booksellers'Shops used to be bbcked up by
inquirers on the days of publication ; the Print-
ing OffiCe.was forced, and several .copies carried
olf—even• my private house invaded by Gentle-
men in their anxiety to get a copy; who insisted
or coining up stairs for the purpose of request-
iag even the loan of one. In short, Protestants'
eyes were at last opened, all Protestant Petitions
ccesed, and have not since been renewed, and the
P'opish -Petition now goes to Parliament unac-
companied by a single Protestant Address. On my
return to my parsonage, to convince me (I sup-
pace,) I was not far wrong as to the mercy
and Christian charity of Papists, so fully detailed
in the .e/72tidote, and many subsequent works,
they set fire to my house, and four of my infants,
-vei:h many servants, were near falling victims to
their hellish malice. They. formed a conspi-
racy *. to murder me, and even sent one of their
sworn Ribbon agents to bribe my servants to let
,;,,.sins into my house, whom I detected in the
Eric., in the Middle of the night, and desperately
weunded the villain. Not terrified, however,
stJ.l persevered, and after several successive
woks on the same subject, not only Papists, but,
in dome instances, individuals educated for
i?,:iests,. read their recantation=, and, in letters to
1.-ryself, confessed it was in consequence of having
-perused ray works. •

bout four degrees in length, appears- larger at

of Pebruary. It sets at about- eight o'clock .in

rear to which M. NICOLLET first discovered it.

' Ey the annual motion of.the earth, the sun daily
,afprOaches the cornet. In a short time the• two
pane's will set at the same moment, and the'
cOniet absorbed in the rays of the sun will cease
visible at. night, to re-appear, perhaps,. at

of the sun. The slowness of-the-geocentric mo-
