* It has 'oven a topic of general regret in the literary
world, that Mr. Eustace did not live to finish the Supplemen-
tary Volume to his " Classical Tour," so as to form a com-
plete Work on the present and past State of Italy, for which
he •was engaged in collecting materials at, the period of his
premature decease. But what Mr. Eustace did not live to
accomplish, Sir Riciiard Colt Hoare • has. executed, and in
such a manner as, its is hoped, will he at once acceptable to
the Public aokl 4ratifving to the numerous friends of Mr.
Eustace, as a ti ibutt of respect to his genius, and of affection
to his memory:

Mr. SMIT' moved that the Hon. Frederick
D..nglas he discharged from the custody of the

Mr. H. SUMNUR moved for an Account of the
Coal: shipped from different parts of Great Bri-
taitt, and the duties paid on them, from the sth
January, 1818, to the same date 1819 ; and also
of the Coals imported into Ireland during the
same rerind.—Agreed to.
Mr. H. SUMNFR then postponed his motion for
the Repeal of all Acts imposing duties upon Coals,
to the lStl► of May.
Mr. LITTL4TON was, sorry that the Hon. Gen-
tleman should have pos6tponed his motion, as
touch inconvenience resulted to the country from
the subject remaining so long unsettled. Since
the date of the notice given by the Hon. Member,
scarcely any sales had taken place.
General GASCOIGNE cave notice, that to-mor-

PRINTING OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS.
Sir Wm. DE CRESPIGNY stated, that he had
ascertained that the Kentish Papers, however vo-
luminous, might be printed for 1701. instead of
the large SlItYl which had been mentioned. He
should therefore move that they be all printed.

LUSIITNGToN had only objected on account
of the expenee. lie had hoped the Hon. Baronet
would have been satisfied with the selection which
b ci been made, but as that was not the case, the
best way would probably be to assent to the

Motion. •
Mr. H. SUMNVR objected to the expence, and
thought it would be better to refer the papers to
a Committee up stairs, to report which it was
prorer should besprinted. •
The SPRAKER stated, that he had made it his
'business to ask the Printer of the House what
would be the expence of printing the whole of ihe
papers and the time at which it could be done;
and his estimate was, that the Seven Oaks papers
would cost 4501. in 'printing, and the time of de-
livery would Eh, three weeks.
• Mr. H. Su area then moved that the Papers be
referred to a Select Committee, to consider the
propriety of printing the whole, or what part.
After a few words from Sir E. Knatchbull,
Mr. Wrottesley, and Mr. Lnshington, the ori-
ginal Motion, that tie papers•be all printed, was
negatived, and, on the suggestion of Mr. Tier-
-ney, the Amendment, modified in the following
-manner, was agreed to That the Papers be
referred to a Select Committee to consider what
part of it might be necessary to print for the in-
formation of the House . The Committee was
then immediately appointed.

THE DUBLIN TEMA ME.

(From the G'orresi;onrtent.)

DUBLIN, APIIIL 23 —There was no 601 or dis-
turbance of any kind at the Theatre last night.--
Some of the old hands, however.,. whose love of
disorder seems to. be covitutional. or some new
ones, who have not yet had a sufficient opportu-
nity of distinguis'hing tbemsek'es, were breaking
fresh,ground for further commot ions, through the
medium of hand-hills. Every attempt of this
kind, however, will, we trust, be instantly over-
powered by the good sense of the audience. Miss
BYRNE and the PATRNTEE have come to an ad-
justment, which promises fnture regularity in the
Theatre, and there should be no recurrence to
past transactions. \Ve gave yesterday be Cor7
iespondenee which led to this arrangement but
the Papers of this morning have putt it in a new
form, and we subjoin it in that state :
London, England, 1819-04-27

POPERY.

It is a proud consbleratlon to me, that the
artities which bear my signature have at-
tracted the notice and received the approval
of the Irish Protestants. • From many of these,
my respectable brethren—they will understand the
force of that term—and fellow-countrymen, com-
munications have reached me through the worthy
Editor of THE SUN, whereof I have av4iled and
still hope to avail myself. Among my faithful
co-operators, not a few are well acquainted wilt
ate, though knowing me not under my nom de
guerre, and I gladly recognize the expression of
principles, wherein I have often fraternally
joined.
The local information of these unshaken friends
additionally enables me to state, whatin Ireland
we are well aware of, but is little known in Eng-
land—that the Protestant Petitioners in favour of
Popery are generally men of the lowest class,
both in rank and intellect and that " whoever
of the better sort have been prevailed on to sub-
scribe"—the friend whose words I use will re-
cognize this acknowledgment of his commtutica•
tious—have been generally intimidated by the
menaced danger of lo4ing their business, their
propery, and perhaps their Ltves. Englishmen
will. sear cely comprehend the possibility of these
outrageous means oi procuring subscriptions
who am too well acquainted with Irish
.Po-
pery, know that they ate not only passible but
actual. The Papists of Ireland will deny this
tact : they cannot disprove it.
Two observations have been suerrested to me
by a valuable Correspondent. While entirely
admittiog their truth, I must not take upon my-
self the ct edit of their origin. He says, that the
REGlitiT cannot consent, in the name and on the
behalf of the King," to a measure notorionsly
against the King's priociples.—l ern confident
that neither House will suffer the measure of
Pop:sh Establishment to go tar enough for rreat-
log the ri,cessity of his Royal Highness's refusal ;
arid, if they did, I am equally confident that He
would no more consent to it than would his ye-
uet able Frit er I have about as much fear of
the Papists as I hitve of the Tartars.
My friend's second observa:ion is very impor-
tant :—" The consent of ti;e Crown should be
first brought down to both Houses of Parliament
before any alteration can rake place iii those
principles which inttocinced the Accession of the.
Brunswick Fatnily."—Tbe observer inn speaks for
itself—it requires not my continent. This only
let me add, that such tt, consent will never be
given.

prepared 4 to meet the coming crisis whenever it should arrive,
it is now near at hand. These preparations are far ad-
tced i practical measures are ready to be developed that

andireeted, eats up and destroys that prosperity
io a high degree, by its nature, it is so well calculated

BRIDE, arrived here on Tuesday e‘Airek, from
Davis's Straits, with three fish, 140 butts of
blubber, being the only vessel at the whale fishery
which had not previously arrived. Con,iderable,
apprehensions had been entertained for her safety.
It appears that Capt. 111 ACKBRIDE, on the 23:1 of
August, was as far N. as 77. SO, close in with
the land; the weather was perfectly clear, and
from the mast head the land was visible all round
as far as the eye could reach. lie was then drivels
by a gale of wind us far southward as Lancaster
Sound. Capt. M. and the surgeon landed near
Sir GaouGe Hora's monument, and proceeded 10
or 12 milts into the country, where they found se-
vend fox•traps left there by the natives. At that
time the weather was quite clear, and Capt. M.
had an extensive view of the Sound, but without
findirig tiny traces of the Discovery ships. On
the following day, the 29th August, the weather
became thick, and Capt. M. thought it prudent to
make the best of his way to port. The Larkins.
of Leith, sailed from the Straits, in company with,
the Filen:6lop, and arrived on Friday.

BANK OF ENGLAND.

Mr. CLADSTGNF. stein; Ho Flononrahle Director
of the Bank (Mr. Manning) in his place, wished
to Hsk bun whether nr.not thet e tvas any foundH-
lion for the report, that the Bank had limited
their discounts of late, and that this had taken
place in consequence of the appointment of the
Bank Committee ?
Mr. MANNING hail no hesitation in stat-
ing, that there had been no change whatever in
the issues of the Bank, in consequence of the ap-
inatment of the Committee of Secresy. Instead
of any diminution having taken place in the dis-
counts, there had raither been on increase to the
extent of right per Cent. These facts would
he ei-impletely ESldb!isbed, whenever the Commit"-

the slightest intention on the part of the Bank to

Sir J. NitwroaT held a Petition front the Pro.

had received signatures without any solici-
tation, but from the impulse -of their tree-will,.
and prayed that those restrictive law, which
bad been imposed in former times on their Ca-
tholic brethren be now done away with the
necessity in which tkey had originated. It consi-
dered the effect of those hiWS as dev.aditig and
oppressive. If such were the sentiments of Pro-
testants on that subject, what must be those of
the Catholics fiteIIiSCIVCS ? He presented this pe-
tition vtith real satisfaction, for he presented it
AS an cattiest of that reconciliation which he
'rutted would shortly unhe all classes of his Ma.
jesry's stihjects in indissoluble bonds.
A ;MEMBER, whose name could not be learnt,
was well acquainted with the City of Waterford.,
and added his testimony to the universal sense of

nine out of every hundred.

C'►:\L

Mr. LITTLETON presented a petirion from the
Manufacturers of the Town of Wolverhampton,
aeainet the Fiqualizmtion of the Duty upon Coals.
When it was cousidt red to what a .proportion
coals entered into kit our manufactures, the im-
portance of the object of the pet i.ioners would be
maoifest. Were a fax of, one shilling per ton to
he laid upon coals, it would create a difference of
13s fid. a ton On iron. The Hon. Member for
Bristol had, on a former occasion, thrown
doubt on the existence of extreme poverty and
distress among the: manufacturers. It was-true
that the smelters of iron were in a state of pros-
petit y, but the maoufactnring lahourers them-
selves suffered the greatest distress. They wOrked
twe!ce and fourteen hours a-day fur the trifling
wages of nine 6billings a- neck, a stun totally in-
ath qu,te to the support of then' families.
Mr. PROTHEROE was understood to contend
that the distress which the Hon. Member de-
scribed, arose in a great measure from the high
price of coals, in consequence of the exportation
of that article.

S;r E. COFFIN made a few inaudible observa-
.
ti(nis.

• Sir R. WusoN.conceived, that as the duty now
levied was (or the general lithely, it ought to be
extended to every 1).-irt of the community,
Sit .3 GRAHAM was undeistood to say, that he
should not consent to -an equalization of the coal
duties.,

Mr.'LITTLETON referred to what had, taken
Mace in 1783, vs-ben-Mr. Pitt bad proposed-a ge-
neral tax upon coals. A few days after, he had
given np his own plan, on the ground that if ma-
' mitacturers were ttiestle liable to the tax, so many
Modifications-and tegolatious would be necessary,
as to render the whole impracticable. The dis-
tress iu the coal districts bud ri:•en much higher
than !second to b 'generally kuown. In ISIG,
almost the workers of coal mines in the coun-
ty which be had the'honour to ,represeut, though
persons of the-greatest respectability, .bad been
reduced to the.necessity of throwing Weir leases
upon the :hands of :their landlords, yibb had been
obliged to carry: On- the works at Wconsiderable
loss. The nunthei of poor thus cast.- tipowpa-
xisiher:had been indetise, and it was only by the
munificence of a N ix* el-'cer, resoling in that part
of the; cotin try .( [JOE& Dudley), t bat emp'(,yinent

LIVERPOOL 'fRADE.

•
Extract of a Prirate Letter from Liverpool.
" I have before noticed the gratifying re-action
which has taken place in the commercial inte-
rests ; and every day's arrival ft om the principal
ports confirms- it. In Liverpool there is as hind)
business doing in the Customs depai !men' as ever
was known, taking it on a ueneral average, with
every likelihood of a continuance of it ; but such
a commercial Lifiux cannot be expected as that
which took place last year, when trade made
one of the most unov.oral efforts ever recol-
lected ; and which, probably, will. never agAin
occur.

" It has been asserted, that American vessels
frequently leave Liverpool, some of them with-
out a single bale on hoard of manufactured goods ;
hot this, if true, must refer to some of the yes-
aels peculiarly appropritved to the cooveyance ut
pas sefl gers ; at present, the fact is, that the 41c7.••
niand f,,r ships is so increased, that 'several Bri-
tish vessels have actually been chartered for the
United States. The arrivals within the last few
drys are trom Canada, the Rrazils, 'the United
States, and the East Indies; and, on the whole',
these is every prospect of a revival of. trade, anti
wirh it, of muse, a demand for our manutac-
curts.

ON THE MORNING OF CHRIST'S NATIVITY►

BY MILTON.

This is tte month, and this the happy mord,
Wherein the Son of Heaens Eternal King,
Of Waded Niaid, and Virgin Mother linen,'
Our great Rede.mption froth abot'e 44 bring;
For so the Holy Sages once did sing; •
That he our deadly forted should release,
And with his Father work-us a perpetual. Peace:

That glorious form, that light urtsufferable,
And thatlar beaming blaze of Maje Sty;
When:will; he went at Heat'us high touncikabie,
To sit the 'midst ofTrinal Unity,
He laid aside; and_liere with us to be,
f'arsool; tine courts of everlasting day,
And chose with us A darliewne house of mortal clay.

Say, Heavn'ly Muse, shall not thy sacred Veiri
Afford a present to the Infant God ?
(last thou no verse, no liyani, or solemn strain, .
To welcome him to this his new abode,
Now while the Heav'n, by the-Sun's tuarn unttodi
H lth took no print of the approaching
And'oll the spangled host beep watch in squadrons bright ?'

Mee how from far, upon the Eastern road,
The Stay-led wisards haste With odour's sweet t
0 run, prevent them with thy humble Ode,
And lay it lowly at his blessed feet ;
Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greets -
And join thy voice unto the Angel quire,
Front out his secret altar touch'd with haltow'd fire.

LETTER Vl.—RELlGlON.—(Continued)

MR. EDITOR—We come now to those theolo-

gical fallacies more immediately connected with
the Authenticity and Inspiration of the Word of
God, points so repeatedly and so ably establish-
ed, as one would have supposed, must have pre-
cluded the necessity of any future discussion
the subject : yet alas' we have but too recently
and top painfully found;that this is trot the case.
Still, however, this is not so surpriz;ng, as at first
view it may appear, when we retrace these phy-
sical effects to their metaphysical source, the
human mind, the philosophy of which, by (1,!-
',eloping to qur view the otherwise hidden re-
cesses of thought, motive, and design, will enable

us , with some degree of accuracy to account for
the physical phenomena which but too often ap-
pear in the microcosm of man. While the im-
partiAl plge of history will inform us, that there
have been in every age and almost in every cowl-

try, the quidani ingenii au►laces, who, prevailing on
their own inferior endowments and limited attain-

merits, and arrogating to themselves a degree of
rese.3rch far beyond the scope of the most trans-
cendant human intellect; have dared to contro-
vert, not only the established dogmas of religion,
but even the dearest demonstrations of science._
Thus a Newton had for his antagonists, a Leihc-
ritz, a Souciet, &c. Hervey his professional con-
temporaries, and evenour Blessed Lord, the Scribes
and Pharisees.. This then ‘viiHessen our surprize
at witnessing in our day characters whose. names,
Mr. Editor, 1 will not stain your columns by in-
serting; but proceed to their.fallacies.

THEOLOGICAL FALLACIES CQNSIDERFD.

AXIOM, .5.

Assertion is no proof.

COIWLLARY.

'Therefore, revilers asserting, that the Holy
Scriptures are a complication 9f immorality and
falsehood, does not prove them to be such.

AXIOM, 6.

Tile opinion of ages is more correct, conse
(Fiendy more credible than that of a tew indi

viduals.
London, England, 1819-12-25

COROLLARY, 1.

Thus the opinion of ages in favour of the au-
thenticity and inspiration of the Holy Scriptures
is more correct, consequently more credible than
that of a few revilers.

COROLLARY, 2.
Therefore ought to be received.

AXIOM, 7.

The use of a term necessary to the act or part
described does not imply any immoral intention
in the writer, or vicious tendency in his writings ;
nor does the misapplication of such term by the
vice or pervet red usage of any future age prove
either of these.

COROLLARY.

Therefore, neither the use of certain terms *
by the sacred penmen, being necessary to the acts
or parts described, nor the misapplication of such
terms by the vice or perverted usage of the age
proves, that such writers were vicious, or their
writings immoral.

A DURHAM REFORMER.

MR:EDITOR—As you have many Correspon-
dents in the County of Durham, perhaps some of
them can inform me, whether it is true, that a
certain great landholder in that County, has re-
cently been creating freeholders, with a view to
support a particular interest at the next Election of
Members of Parliament for it ? As the individual
who is stated to have adopted this measure, is ge•
nerally supposed to be a warm and steady advo-
cate for a Reform in Parliament, I shall be truly
sorry to hear these reports confirmed ; but, as
ihere ate only four MentberS returned from the
County of Dorham, you will easily, perceive that
a thorough investigation into th.e mattes is of tite
grea,test importance to the County, and it iS upon
this. ground only that I Hill induced to draw your
attention to it. If it is true, I hone the leadiug
fatuities and The independent Yeomanry, will lose
00 time in adopting such measures as lif Ny be
to support the respectability, and the
eedorn of the Representation of the County.
trust they will not be deceived by the zeal which
tie individual alluded to pretends to disphy
in accomplishing Parliamentary Reform, It is too
notot ions that sotne of the most clamorous Advo.

cites for Iteforu are. the most inveterate promo-
ters, in practice, of the Borough System. With
respect to the plan of creating freeholders for oc-
casional and corrupt purposes, it is much to be de,
sired, that the House of Commons would visit it
with the notice and reprehension which a system
so detrimental to the rights and liberties of the
subject, and so subversive of. the fundamental
principles of Representation, deserves ; and in
truth, I cannot but think it more dangerous than
bribery itself ; it is more insidious ; it is less easily
detected, and when detected, is never visited with
that severe punishment which the law inflicts upon
those convicted of bribery at Elections. MI
this strange inconsistency in the Low-of Et land
is allowed to exist, for hilbery and occasionality
accomplish the same objec s, your worthy Cur res-
poudent TirrAx can perhaps better explain than
