REVOLUTION OF 1688.

NKWPORT, Ism.: or WirinT.—The Club which
has existed in this town ever pint-a the glorious event
it was formed to commemorate, held its annual
the 4th inst.
me,ertiiiteigpaitet2iideeßritu(ghir. H. D. Colo) being preventedlnn. on Tnes,„l„,,,
from attending by a severe Borne is calamity, Mr.
Thomas Cooke, jun. was called to the chair.
On the cloth being removed, the CHAIRXAN ob-
served, that their attendance there that day proved
that they were all Orangemen—not, indeed, of that
degenerate class who use the term as a symbol of
every thing that is base
just
intolerant ; who, if they
love liberty at all, love it us the miser loves his
gold—they wish to keep it all to themselves. " We,"
said he, " on the contrary, are the true Orangemen,
because we are the sincere admirers of that illustrious
Prince whose favennte maxim it was, that con-
science was God's province, and that it ought not
to be interfered with by man.' " He then proposed,,
" The Glorious and Immortal Memory of King
William III."

On rising to propose the second toast, the CHAIR-
MAN said they were not only Orangemen, but
Brunswickers. Toast—" The House of Bronswick."
In offerieg another subject to the notice of the
company, the CHAIRMAN begged to advert for a few
minutes to the events that had occurred since the last
meeting. They were then grieving for the loss of
Cunning, yet they had hoped, though his sun had
gone down at noon, that at least a sufficient portion
of borrowed light remained to guide his successors
in the glorious path he seemed determined to pursue.
These hopes, alas, were fallacious : a set of men spee-
dily returned to power, of whom it might be said, that
if they had not done all the mischief that was feared,
it was rather for want of power than from want of
inclination. Look for a moment at our foreign policy.
Mr. Canning had sent an army to Portugal, if not
avowedly, at least in effect, to support• the cause of
liberty. That army has been withdrawn, sud Don
Miguel has been encouraged—if not bye the Govern-
ment, by one who held, and who still holds, high
office under it—to trample on the constitution he
had sworn to defend, and to re-establish absolute
power ; while our excellent Foreign Secretary—that
worthy disciple of Prince Metternich—proclaims,
in excuse, that the friends of England are princi-
pally to be found among the followers of Don
Miguel. What a bitter satire on our policy ! We
are loved by the oppressor, arid hated by the op-
pressed. Then, as to Greece, France is suffered to
take possession of that fine country, which, it pretty
clearly appears, she will Le in uo haste to relinquish ;
while Russia, contrary to her express stipulation, is
allowed to distress our trade by blockading the Dar-
danelles. Why is it that we are thus become the
laughing stock of Europe ? And that, too, under
the administration of a man, whose very name was
to carry terror through the world. It was because
we were determined to sqttander our resources, and
to waste our strength, for the purpose of keeising in
subjection 6,000,000 of our fellow-subjects, to whom
their just rights are denied, under the pretence that
they can give us no security for their allegiance.
Security ! What security can a nation give ? It
must be gis en by their Governors; it must be ob-
tained by making them contented and happy : then,
and not till then, will you be secure of their cheerful
allegiance. We can respect the scruples of those
who really fear that the emancipation of the Catholics
may prove dangerous to liberty ; but the number
of these is few, and daily diminishing. The
chief opponents of the measures are the Eldons, the
Winchelseas, and the Neweastles,—men, whose
whole lives have been spent in the uniform endea-
vour to stay the progress of improvement—to trample
upon, and, if it had been possible, to extinguish the
liberties of the country. A government destitute of
popular support must rely on the borough-holders,
the monopolists of power. This it is that has
driven the Duke of Clarence from the Admiralty,
and placed in his stead that booing Scotchman, may
Lord Melville. If we wish for the character of his
Lordship's administration of naval affair', we need
only refer to the memoirs of Lord Collingwood
that gallant Admiral expressly states that he had ne
influence xvhatever in the selection of his officers—
that men were sent to him wholly unfit for the ser-
vice, with no other reeonimendation than Parlia-
mentary connexion. In short, that in the contest
for promotion, " holes in the skin had no chance
against votes in Parliament." What, then, is the
remedy ? Why, obviously Parliamentary Reform.
Toart—" A speedy reform in the Commons House
of Parliament."

Mr. ABRALIAM CLARKE, on proposing a toast,
strongly expressed his disgust at the adoption, on
the part of the enemies of the liberties of mankind,
of the names and maxims peculiarly belonging to the
real friends of freedom. He concluded by giving
" Civil and religious liberty all the world over."
Mr. Jolts COOKE proposed, as a sentimeut suit-
able to the present meeting, "Equality of civil rights,
the basis of national prosperity."

Mr. R. G. KIRKPATRICK, after a few remarks on
the duty of coming forward publicly in support of
liberal opinions, particularly at a moment when such
extraordinary efforts are making to prevent the mea-
sures of conciliation which are necessary to the peace
of Ireland and the welfare of Great Britain, alluded
briefly to the manly conduct of Mr. Shell in attend-
ing the meeting ut Penenden-heath, and proposed his
health as an intrepid and enlightened Ir4,liman and
liberal Catholic.

After a few other characteristic toasts, the cote-
puny separated at a late hour.

A garrison court-martial assembled on Friday,
the Slst ult., at Gov:?rninent-house, for the trial of private
IleNu Mims, of the 96th depot, for being absent on the
night of the t:Sth of October from the hospital at Stoke,
when he was steward of that place ; and on various charges
relative to hospital accounts. The court adjsdged the
prisoner guilty, and se.7ltmced him to receive three hundred
lashes, and to be put under stoppages until a deficiency of
tit. 19s. 6d. be made good.—Plymouth Journal.

A new species of begging is at present prae-
&xi in Clertuany. Fellows post themselves in the high-
way with pistols in their 'lauds, and swear to take away,
not the life of the passenger, but th;ir own, it' they are
act Hieved. These gentry would, we conceive, be a
goat deal puzzled if allowed to put their threats into exe-
cution.—Furct de Londtes.

The new United Service Club-house will, it
is LOW said, be ready for the reception of the sleuabers in
about a fortilight.

It i sjust a century ago since the whole town
was in an uproar, owing to tLe disputes between two cele-
brated Italian singers, LA FOSTINA and LA CURZONI.
Ladies went so far as to dress thputselves in the colours of
these rival syrens, whose petty jealousies, and ridiculous
birs of precedence, were' carried to such a height as to
render even their talents contemptible.

tiVe regret to state that, since our last publica-
tion, two more of the sufferers by the late coach accident
at Psodleton have died, is consequence of the injuries
they received on that occasion—namely, i%liss MITCHFLT,
and HOLIMOOKE. Bliss MITCHELL appeared to become
sensible for the first time on the Thursday after the acci-
dent, when she opened her eyes several times. She con-
tinued to improve a little, in the opinion of her medical at-
tendants, until Tuesday morning last, when it was thought
proper to discontinue the medicine, and to try what effect
a little nourishment would have in restoring her. Dur-
in" Tuesdayevening evening she became sensibly worse, and ex-
pired about one o'clock on Wednesday morning, at the
Woolsack, where she had remained from the time of the
a ccitient.—RoneaT HOLBROOKE, who was sheen to the
infirmary, as we formerly mentioued, remained in a doubt-
ful state until Friday, when he became considerably
worse. lle was bled repeatedly during that day; but
he continued to grow worse, and died about four o'clock
en Saturday morning. He was a siik-weaver, and
worked on his own account at Maccleefield. Although
only 23 year's of age, he has left a widow and two chil-
dren. His wife carne to Manchester on hearing of the ac-
cident, and attended him until his death. Oa Saturday
an inquest was held on the body of HOLBROOKE, and on
Monday the seine ceremony took place over the remains of
Miss .11rixrumt.. The evidence and verdict in both cases
were the same as those at the Inquest of Rosso's, the coach-
man. We understand that Miss Thu:infra. only com-
pleted her 18th year on the 23th of March last. Mr.
ANnEeioN is doing remarkably well; he was removed to
his lAtist Wedueoday,,,Olancholer COitrier•

TATTERSALL'S.

Large sums were laid out yesterday on Prince Eugene,
who rose two or three points iire Ihe Ouse. Nearly
every one seemed inclined to back 14;ni, and it was only
the decrease of the odds that induced many' heavy bets Co
be made against him. Electrons was first favourite ; but
no one would back her at the current odds ; the beteng-
about the others wag flat, except about a few, who made
debut, some of whom may probably oontii.ne in the
odds. Very little done in the Oaks. Rowton, end Lady
Sarah were in demand for the St. Leger ; but the odds
did not suit. The pricea were thus
