NAVIGATION AND SHIPPING.

SIR-I feel delighted with the specimen you
have given us of the New Navigation Act ;
which, however, as it repeals so many regulations
for the encouragement of British Shipping, will,
I hope, for the sake of grammatical, or rather
philological precision, be called " An Act for the
liberal encouragement of aliens and enemies, and
the discouragement of British ships mid sea-
m e n."
Sir, an act, so liberal, must make us the admi-
ration of all foreign nations ; who, no longer
branding us with the opprobrious appellation of
JOHN BULL, will now salute us with the en-
dearing diminutive of JAcxy CALF !
To say more is needless ; except to propose
the addition of an important clause, that it shall
and may be lawful for every British Ship Owner
to burn all ships, vessels, coasters, &c. that are
British built, without being reckoned either
madman or fool ; that it shall and may be lawful
for every Ship Owner to hang himself without
danger of a verdict of fele-de-se, provided the
NEW ACT is pleaded in bar ; that it shall and may be
not only lawful but absolutely necessary for every
'British seaman to seek employ in foreign service ;
and finally, that it neither shall nor may be lawful
for any little boy to build ships or boats, or to sail
them in his grandmother's Duck-pond ! Now,Sir,
if to this some patriot should add a clause, order-
ing that steam chimnies shall supply the place
of ropes and canvas in what may remain of our
Shipping, we shall then have no 44 Navigators"
except those who,dig canals, and all foreign ma-
ritime jealousy will be at an end !
NEPTUNE.
P.S. I think no Englishman ought to go to
sea, except iu a Bathing-machine.

`trtE ARMY.

The 2d. Battalion of the First Regiment of
Guards, performing duty at Windsor; amounting
to about 550 men, received instructions on Sun-
day last to hold themselves in readiness to pro-
ceed for Knightsbridge Barracks, where they
arrived on Tuesday evening. This Battalion 'is
to succeed the 3(1 Battalion of the same Regiment
now on their route for Ireland.

The Lig',t Horse Volunteers haVe offered their
services to do duty at the Horse Guards, in event
of the Horse Guards being ordered to' Ireland,
which 15,hourly expected.
• 'Putt YEomAsttY.---At a meeting of the Officers
and Privates of the Royal Revenue "Cdr 4s, held
on Saturday, Captain J. O'Brien'llk''trk Chair,
it was unanimously agreed, in consikitiWei"of the
inability of their esteemed Captain Conuaiidant,
Allan M'Clean, Esq. to resume the comtnand of
the' Carps, and the military engagements of the
Right Honourable Lord CastlecOote, as Colonel
of the Queen's County Militia, to accept the
same, to look to the Hon. A. Hely- Hutchinson,
to fill a situation to which so many qUalities of
manner, rank, and experience combine to render
him peculiarly efficient; and his acceptance of the
command of the Royal Revenue Corps, •tinder
the approbation of his Majesty's Government,
waSi therefore, unanimously solicited. It was
impossible to have. made any choice, which does
more honour to the sense and spirit of the Royal
Revenue Corps.=-The Loughry Corps of Yeo-
manry (county Tyrone), under the command of
Captain Lindsay, have unanimously volunteered
their services to any part of the United King-
dorri.—An order has been issued, directing that
one Captain, three Lieutenants, one drummer,
and one hundred and twenty rank and file of the
Belturbet Corps of "Yeomanry, should imme-
diately be placed on permanent duty.—(Dublin

—"'ralza=—

- The manner of Du ELLING in jAPAN is. singular,
and; to our European prejudices, may appear absurd and bar-
barous ; but the philosophical observer will, perhaps, consider
it it rational as an appeal to the sword or pistol. NVlim two
men of honour quarrel in that country, the party who conceives
himself injured rips up his own entrails with a large knife,
and presenting the insulin:eat. to his adversary, invites him
to follow his example ! No Japanese Gentleman can de-
cline such an invitation ; for if lie does not instantly plunge the
knife into his own bowels, he is dishonoured for life.—lf such
" truly shocking 'pon honour," notions of gentilhommerie were
to be introduced' into this country, we are decidedly of opinion,
" affairs of honour" would be of very rare occurrence among
the walking delicacies of Bond-street and the Parks.

CAUTION TO PARENTS.—On Tuesday last a boy
of Mr. Mark's, hatter, at Romford, coming home
from school, swallowed some fly-water, which he
mistook for sugar and water ; and, though asskt-
ance was immediately procured him, the child
died on the following morning. The water had
been placed in the parlour window by his mother
till she answered somebody in the shop, and
during her temporary absence the fatal draught
was taken.

EXECUTION.-Yesterday morning the sentence
of the law was carried into effect, at the top of
the gaol in Ilorsemonger-lane, on Edward Lee,
convicted at the last Surrey Assizes, of a high-
way robbery, attended with circumstances of ex-
cessive cruelty. At seven o'clock the Sheriff at-
tended at the gaol with his assistants, and the
culprit having been divested of his irons, pro-
ceeded to the chapel, where some short time %vas
spent in prayer : he was then taken to the fatal
drop, where he again prayed in a fervent man-
ner, and appeared reconciled to his fate. At nine
precisely the drop fell, and he died apparently
easy. He was 21 years of age, but had been
long known as a bad character.

George Main, who received sentence of death
at the Northumberland Assizes, for stabbing his
wife, has been respited on the ground of insanity.
Dodds has been reprieved, and Heatherington
and Wilkinson, for highway robbery, are to be
executed on Wednesday. next, at the Westgate,

LORD COCHRANE.

A letter from Buenos Ayres, dated the 7th of
July, states that intelli2;ence had -arrived from
Valparaiso, announcing that the blockade of the
coasts of Peru-by Lord CocuaANEthad been de-
clared by Sir Tnom ks 11 P.D TA" not to be in con-
formity with the law regulating similar opera-
tions, and that therefore it could not be recog-
nized by the British squadron. This declaration
of Sir TuomAs HARDY is in the form of a verbal
communication, made to a deputation of British
merchants at Valparaiso, on board his Majesty's
ship Creole. He stated to them—

" Ist. That he had just 'returned front Callao,wherehehad gone
in the hope of redressing several grievances, which the masters
of vessels, and several other individuals, had sustained froin the
Commanders-in-Chief and Captains of the Blockading Squad-
ron before Callao, not only in the unjust detention of several
vessels, but in the unwarrantable power assumed by the Chili
squadron, in pressing seamen of said detained. vessels, and
ocher British subjects ; which individuals, on being demanded
by Captain Spencer person :illy, aeqd Sir 'Thomas Hardy by let-
ter, were refused by the Captain of the to be given
up; by which act insulting the officers of his Majesty, and the
British flag.
" 2d. That the declaeaticn of blockade by the Chile Govern-
ment in August last cornreebends and includes the whole coast
of Peru; and As the Chili 3piatiron have only vessels tc block-
ade 10 or 12 leagues of said coast, their persisting tO declare the
whole under blockade vitiates their declaration.; therefore he is
determined not to allow that any blockade ever existed."

By the last intelligence from Peru, Lord
Coma A NrE had. taken possession of Arica; where
he had capturd and detained several Spanish
and English vessels. _

On the 30th April General SA:st MARTIN em-
barked at Huacho, With about 1,000 of his army,
on an expedition, the object of which was sup-
posed to be Panama.—(The Times.)

As Sir THOMAS HARDY has stated that the
Chilian force was not large enough to blockade
the whole coastrwe give the following list of the
ships of war, &c. with which Lord COCHRANE
arrived on the coast last year :—O'lliggins, 50
guns ; San .Martin, 64 ditto ; Lantara,36 ditto;
Independencia, 32 ditto ; Galparino, 18 ditto;
Afancana, 16 ditto ; Pueyrredon, 10 ditto ; and
Montezuma, 10 ditto ; making a total of 236
guns and 1538 seamen : also fourteen transports,
with 5680 troops on board.—(Morning Post.)

elusion of Catholics from the Government of Colonies.—.
(Murmurs.) _ _

The-clause, that when any right of presentation is 'annexed
to any office held by a Roman Catholic, his Majesty, may
transfer such right of presentation to any Member of the Privy
Council, being 4 Protestant,. was next put and agreed to, with-
out a division.

Mr. OOULBURN said, that at that late hour he would
• move that the Chairman' should report progress.
Doctor PHILLIMORE pnt it to the Hon. Gentleman,
whether, in point even of common courtesy, such a step would
be advisable? it was not yet midnight ; the House, upon very
ordinary questions,- sat much later.
Mr. GOULI3URN said, that three distinct amendments of
the most important kind were to be discussed.
-Mr. WETHERELL said, that the amendments would be
more Oily and satisfactorily discussed the next night. ,
11,1 r: PEEL said, that by the ninth article of the Bill of
Rights it was inconsistent • with the safety of
.the Constitution
that a Catholic King•should Sit on the Throne.
,The question
was now, whether. a Protestant King was to have Roman Ca-
tholics for his advisers ? - -, • -

- Mr. TIERNEk said, that .he would have no objection to
have the amendment discusSed on the following night..
,Sir JOAN NEWPORT made a similar declaration, after
which the chairman left the Chair, reported progress, and got
ledve.to sit again.
. The Irish Witchcraft Repeal Bill was read a third time and
passed.

- Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that •the.hont of midnight
was a very suitable time to give the last sanction of that House
to a Witchcraft Repeal Bill—(A laugh.) •

The several other Orders of the Day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'Clock.

FOR THE .SUN.

MR. EDITOR—AS the authority Of Mr. Fox may
have weight with some of the present advocates
for the Popish Claims, I beg leave toteansmit the
following passage from his History of the early
part of the Reign of JAMES 11. I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Surrey Square, March 24. LUTHER.

" But the inefficacy of mere laivS'in favour of
the subjects, in the case •of the administration of
them falling into the hands of persons hostile to
the spirit in which they had been proved, had
been so, fatally evinced by the. general History
of lingland,ever since the grant of the great char-
ter, and.more especially by the transactions of the
preceding reign, that the Parliament justly deem-
ed their work incomplete unless the Duke of
York were excluded from the succession to the
Crown. A Bill, therefore, for the purpose of
excluding that Prince was proposed" and pasred
the House of Commons (1679) : but being vigo-
rously resisted by the Court, by the Church, and
by the Tories, was lost in the House of Lords.
The restrictions offered by the King to be put
upon a Popish Successor are supposed to have
been among the most powerful of those means to
which he was indebted for his success.—The dis-
pute was no longer whether or not the dangers
resulting from James's. succession were real, and
such as ought to be guarded against by parlia-
mentary provisions ; but whether the exclusion
or restrictions furnished the most safe and eli-
gible mode of compassing the object which both
sides pretended to have in view. The argument
upon this state of the. question is clearly, forcibly,
-bud•l -thicilt, COn,vincingly, stated ,by .ItArts,
who explites very , trust-
ing -to abOsures zcithOUl cOusidet'ation oft4e inert
[thlie ai.e to execute them."
London, England, 1821-03-27

The LORD CHANCELLOR having stated it to be
his intention to deliver judgment in this Important
case, at an early hour the Court was crowded to
excess: Amongst many distinguished Charac-
ters, were the 'LOnn BISHOP Of CuEsTEp. and.
Dr: GOOFREYi together with the principal Mem-
bers of both Universities. At a short time after
ten, his Lordship came into Court, and pro,
ceeded to deliver judgment immediately. It
will be recollected that the question Was brought
before 'the Court to try the validity of Dr. God-
frey's Election to the Mastership of Queen's
College, upon the following grounds : first, if be
was duly elected ; secondly, if he had been pro-
perly elected ; andi thirdlyi if he had been qua,
iifiod and Iy- etectedrtid-tt con rained "f'•it
regulations within the time prescribed by the
Statutes.

Ilis
Lordship, after referring to all the Statutes
and authorities that had been cited, and review-
ing all the argUments pro and con, declared .his
opinion to be, that Dr. Godfrey was properly
elected and admitted Master of the Queen'i
College; " but," said his Lordship, « if tbis
decision should not be satisfactory (and I do not
see how I can come to any other), there will be
no objection to my hearing the party at a fu-
ture period:"

MENDICITY SOCIETY,

This excellent Society for the Sttppre'SsiOn. of
Mendicity in the: .Metropolis, held their Third
Anniversary Dinner yesterday at the• London
Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of ronK
presided on this laudable occasion, and his Royal
Highness's .excellent Band of Music' attended.
After the cloth was removed, the tout of " The
:King" was given from the Royal Chair, and drunk
with the usual tribute of applause. His Royal
Highness again rose and expreSsed his satisfaction
at seeing so large and ,respectable an assemblage
before him, which he did not doubt would as-
sure to this praiseworthy Society the success
which it so highly deserved:. He concluded by
proposing " Success to the Mendicity Society,"
coupled. with the assurance that it should always
have his warmest support. The Hon. R. Wil-
mot, in an animated speech, alluded to the
advantages which the. public 'had derived from
this Society, which were'forcibly exemplified
by the effect which the
,offer of a Menclicity
ticket produced on the professed impoitor
and beggar, who rather shrunk frOm its accept-
' ance, as the certain means of exposure,. anti
contrasted the grateful mannerin which the same
ticket was received by the deserving object of
relief, :whose family was also included in its bene-
fits. Several appropriate speeches were deli-
vered by the Duke of Northumberland, Earls
Dartmouth, Calthorpe, and Darnley, in which
much interesting matter was detailed. We need
only repeat the simple fact, that since the for-
mation of this Society, in the short period of
three years, no less than 100,000 beings have
received a greater or less' degree of Tenet; and
that independently of several similar societies in
different parts of the country, a communication
is kept up with every parish in England and
Wales, with a consequent diminution of the
Poor-rates. In the course of the evening, the
Secretary, Mr. Bodkin, announced that a con-
siderable addition had been made to the fund,
of-the Society by donations from a great propor-
tion of the regular subscribers.—(General appro-
bation.)--Isis Royal Highness retired at ten
o'clock, and the company broke up soon after.

We have been; induced, at the request of se-
veral valuable Correspondents, and in compliance
with the wishes of many of our Readers, to en-
large the size of our Paper, which, for the future,.
will contain five columns, in each page, of equal
width with the columns in its former state, but.
of greater length, so that we shall not only be
enabled to use a larger type,, but to insert a
greater quantity of matter, some arrangement for
which purpose having been found necessary to
give effect to the various new branches of intelli-
gence which have lately been h.t •oduced in our
Paper. We. shall therefore be able also to give
our Paper a more miscellaneous character, and,
what is a matter of great importance, to insert
copious: reports of the Parliamentary Proceedings
in the approaching Session, whiCh is likely to be
in the highest degree interesting to the Empire:

Paris Papers to the 12th instant arrived yester-

Chamber of Deputies, on the provisional credit
of six-twelfths of the contributions for 18'2.1 to the

discussion and ,strong opposition, the Projet, of
Law was adopted by a considerable majority. It

was presented the day after by a Deputation
from the Chamber to the. KING, and afterwards
carried to the Peers by the Minister of Finance.
The
,Projet was referred to a Select Committee of
the House of Peers, and their report ordered to
be taken into consideration on Friday last.

,WASHINOTON, Nov. 25.—(Pivate Lettec3—
The over-zealous for retrenchment consider them-
selves to be very strong. Their success will de-
pend very much on the Treasury Report of the
Finances. I believe it will be an ample one,
and will shew that 1821 will provide means-
for the expenditure of that year. The de--
mands will be about 1-1,500,000 dollars, in-
cluding the interest on the Public
The bonds at the Custom-house are said to e:t-
ceed 18,000,000, of which 41- m'ilions are those
which remain over their time unpaid. But pre-
suming that 2,000,000 of that sum will be paid
during 1820, our means will be ample. We may
have to borrow, to make good the deficiencies J
the current year. The demand of the actual
ex-
penditure for 1821 will not exceed WI
and 1 million will probably be taken from that
amount by Congress witholt doing- much harm."

A short time since we called the attention of
our readers, on the appearance of Mr. N tcuoLLs's
interesting Work on the state of parties, to the
insidious manner in which the real objects of the
MODERN Wittns are concealed, in the hope Of
dispelling the delusion under which many persons
labour in believing them to be-the supporters 0E
the Constitution, and the sincere advocates of the
legal privileges of the people. We stated then,
that it was our firm belief that they are the se-
cret but active opponents of Parliamentary Re'
form, and that they only professed themselves
the advocates of it, in order to prevent its fall-
ing into the hands of disinterested individuals,
whose rational views, and moderate proposals,
urged with ' a sincere and unaffectect zeni
for our ancient establishments, would ensure
their adoption, whilst their own wild and vi-
sionary schemes, so extensive, so differing in
principle from the existing Constitution, and so
alarming to every well disposed and sensible
mind, secure a continuance of the abuses; which
this faction is 'so much interested in cherishing
and perpetuating. Our opinion, was founded on a
dispassionate and attentive observation of their
conduct, during the greater part or the last eft-
tury, and we are confirmed -in it by the view!!
