2.4.' the GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, and FRk:,EUUOLDEItS of

the COUNTY of MIDDLESEX.

GENTLEMEN,
THE Result of this Day's Poll proves that the
unprincipled Coalition of my Opponents is calculated to
14ttender into their bonds the Independence of this opulent
C°Unty, unless promptly opposed by your active and united
ilfAertions.

The effect of supineness, at such a crisis, must tend to de-
{trade the County from that elevated Character anti Station
lobich it has hitherto maintained, and to impose on it the
juke of a Party twice indignantly rejected.
You have still, however, time to avert such an evil, and to
recover by seal and energy the ground which has been lost.
The Cause is your own—to you its protection and success
!test be confided; and it is for you to assert those loyal and
'constitutional prfociples•which have hitherto secured me your
a"Pport, and upon which I still confidently rely, to be re
Placed in the honourable situation oi.one of your Represent.
latices, by your early atteuJancc at the Poll.
have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your devoted and'faitilful Servant,

1.-PROCLAMATION.

Valiant Inhabitants of the Province of Beira,—Remain
peaceably in your habitations, and in the tranquil performance
of your business and your labours. Think hot that I am come
at the head of our brave Countrymen, whom! have the honour
of commanding, to do you the least injury. We are your
brothers—we are all Portuguese; and the same national
cause, the same.desire to be useful to our country, to
unite all our sentiments. I come to aid you in enabling you
to declare your, sentiments, and to free you from the op-
pression of the barbarous and the mad ex-General Victoria,
who makes a had retnen to the nation- which has ele-
vated him to his present eminence, and who now endea-
vours to make .use of deceit, causing your precious blood
to be shed to preserve the despotism of the Ex-Governors
of Lisbon—men who have endeavoured to rub that kingdom
of its people and its treasures, by sending every thing to Ame-
mica, where they have kept our beloved King Don John VI.
Portuguese, virtr sufferings ale at a close ! We march to save
our country 'from the monsters who for their'own private in-
terest have-betrayed at once the nation and the King. The
holiest peasant, whose hands have been hardened with the
toil necessary to pay excessive duties and tributes to the in-
dolent and despotic landlords, who rob hint, will be relieved.
The soldiers will return to their homes, to engage in domes-
tic citifies. All persons will base their houses anti their pro-
perty respected ; and, although circumstances require some
articles for the indispensable supply of your brethren, they
will be paid in as short a time as possible. I make this
promise in the name of the Supreme Government. The
10th t egiment of cavalry, which is now at Santarem, has unit-
ed, of its own accord, to the party of the nation, and proceeds
with me to assist you. Already, from the Minho to Lisbon,
the sound of national liberty is heard.. It is not fit that you
should remain slaves during the hardships of despotism and°
tvranny. Swear, then, obedience to the Provisional Junta
of the Supreme_ Government of the Kingdom, which has just
been installed, and which, its the name of our King, Don
John VI., is to, govern the nation till the convocation of the
Cortes, which are to,be assembled to organize the Portuguese
Constitetiou. Swear obedience to these Cortes, and the Con-
stitution they stlall frame—maintaining the Catholic religion
and the dynasty of the house of Bragania.

BARRACK AGREEMENT,

Upon. the bringing up of the Report upon the
Barrack Agreement,

Ur. CALCKAFT neither objected to the Cavalry h!iving
Barracks, nor to their being. situated in the'Rvzent's-nark;
hut it was to the terms of the contract that he called the at-
tention of the House. •

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, that
the bargain must of course depen4 upon -the apprObai ion. of
Parliament: The Contractors were aware, that, it disapproved
by the House, it would he set aside. To him however, it
appeared that the measure was' peculiarly Akible. The
ani:ual cost of lodging-money and - harraeli-expenses for the
:egiment in question dui ing the latter part of the war had
been 6,0001. That amount had been recfnced since the peace,
and averaged now at from 4,4001. to• 5,5001. a-year:
Sir JOHN NEWPORT disapproved-of the annuity scheme ;
it was a principle for those who could nut raise money to pay
fur what they wanted

Mr. W. ‘VILLIANIS thought that the 2d Regiment of Lift
Guards might be perfectly well accommodated in those bar-
racks at Croydon now occupied by the waggon train.

Mr. ELLICE saw no n4cessity for the barrack proposed,
and deprecated the system of raising fortifications through
the country for the purpose of overawing the people. He
disapprort oft he bargain, merely as a bargain. '
Lord PALMERSTON• was surprised to- hear any objet
tion to a proposition which, by a Mere continuance of the
current expellee, would leave to the country, at the expira-
tion of thirty-one years, possession of a emnplete and ade-
quate barrack ; the less the soldiers were broui;ht into coo.
tact with the Inhabitants the better.

Lord ALTrIOUP protested vehemently against the doctrine
laid down by the. Noble Lord opposite. Such had mit beeni
the doctrine acted upon by our aneestors Ihe very exist.,
ence of hafraclis had been objected to upon the same piinei;
ple o❑ which that Noble 'Cord now recommended them—that
they tended to separate the citizen from the soldier.
sir. Nl. SMITH objected to the extenbion of the barrack
system.

After a few words from Sir W.De•Crespiviey, Mr. Thomat
Wilson. 'and Mr. Mob& rly,the House dividetl.

CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.
London, England, 1820-05-24

[Morning Post ]

We yesterday stated, that a Bill of Indictment
for High 'nelson had been f,ind by the Grand
Jury of Middlesex against George Edwards.—
WhKif..ver may be the guilt of t': is •ii.r•oli, it must
be manifest to the meanest comprehension, that
even ;lie most direct proof ot u cat, in no degree
diminish the actual criminality ot the men ertiO
have already paid the torfeli of their lives and
liberties, in cousecpienc, a' the recent trials at
the Old I 3 ilry. The guilt ot the five men who
were executed a 9 nor oil!y proved on their trials
by the most coodo•iv, e.iiitnee, but it was made
a theme of esoil „boss by the sufferers themselves,
even to the verge of errinity. The prficeed.ngs,
therefore, against Edwards can evidently have no
retrospective eff, ct upon the crimes or characters
of those who have suffered. Tots distinction can-
not he too much enforced, because some vile at.
tempts have been made to imply the innocence of
Thistlewood front the supposed guilt of Edward's,
whose criminality or innocence, We repeat, can
neither extenuate nor exaggerate the guilt of
those who have suffered.

Yesterday was a close baday on the Stock
Exchange; hut on account o the near approach
of settling day (to-morrow),the greater part of
the Brokers and Jobbers assmbled on 'Change,
and many bargains were transcted. Until twelve
o'clock the Funds maintainedcheir elevation, but
about that time some idle runouts obtained cir-
culation, rtlitive to the state it the Revenue, and
the probability of a large Lam. At this period
of the year speculations of his sort are by no
means nocommon, and hided, considering the
little fluctuation the funds hale undergone for the
list two accounts, it is not unlikely that these
reports may have been circtdried for private pur-
poses. Tbey vt ere not coufinel to the mere asser-
tion of an intended loan, hit went so far as to
state, that Mr. Hase had reteived notice of it.
The amount mentioned was from ten to thirty
millions I I,ts consequence of hese ridiculous and
exaggerated statements, the funds, in the coarse
of the afternoon, fell one-half per cent. ; but we
are satisfied that this depresion will he transi-
tory, as it is the decided opinon of every intelli-
gent person in the City, that there will be no
occasion to deviate from the measures adopted last
Session. and that the stun requited will not he

We received this morning the Paris Papers ut
Sunday last. In the Chamber .of Deputies on
Saturday, after some debate upon Petitions, the
discussion was resumed on the Election Projet,
and again adjourned till Monday. The speakers,
or rather readers of speeches, were the Baron
CAPELLE, M. M. DAUNOU, de COTTON, and BAS.
TliflitECHS. The OiliCe3 of the Journals were
shut on Sunday, it being the Feast of Pentecost,
and none were to be published on Monday.—The
following are extracts:— .

" PAHIS, MAY 21.—The King received yester-
day the Duchess de Bourbon.
" The Court of Peers have adjourned till Mon-
day the further deliberation respecting the affair
of Louvel.

The Duke d'Angouleme is expected to arrive
at Phalsboutg on the 30th instant, on his way to
Metz. The 4th June his Royal Highness will
sleep at Tout, and remain there the sth.
" The Journal des Debats persists in erroneously
stating, that Bourgeois has been conveyed to the
Conciergerie, and that he has been subjected to
several interrogatories. We repeat, therefore,
and we can guarantee the fact, that Bourgeois
is not at the Conciergerie, and that he has not
even been conveyed to Paris.
" The Deputies who signed the prospectus of
the National Subscription having written to the
Under Secretary of the Ministry of Justiee to put
them upon ttial, the Count Portolie has replied,

OILMAN FUND AND COAL DUTY.

Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN observed, that be
bad unready attempted mice or three times this
day to press his motion on. It was one of nu ort!i.
nary importance, and yet means were fad-aid to
pot it ..IF, time alter time. The City was now
applying to Parliament to borrow money, and the
very subject of their revenues was made the ground
of a motion in the House of Commons. lie had
waited for six months, but in vain, for every time
ti.e Court met he found his motion at the bottom
of his Lordship's paper. Was this any thiog like
just ? Was this at all fair ? Was this at all indi-
cative of an honest desire to learn truth ? It it
was not heard now, he called on the Lord Mayor,
in common justice to the City,. the Corporation,
and the Livery, to say when it would be heard,
and to name a specific day for that purpose.
Mr. BlioWN ul►j+Clod to die 1110tioil tiOw corn-
ing ►►n, as fir Wm. Curtis was atient, and lie
tln►ught it would be untair to take this motion out
ot it, turn. lie would recommend a special day
to be natned tot the purpose.
Mr. IVAITIIMA.N—It the convenience of others
is to be con,nited, why should not mine be the
same ? According to the artiment ot the last
Gentleman, I am to he kept bete all day because
an Honourable Baronet and others chuse to ne-
glect their daty.
Ater some remarks from Alderman Atkins anti
and others, the motion was fixed for special bear-
kg on the 23d instant, being Wednesday se'n-
night.

THE FEES AT THE OLD BAILEY.

Mr. OLDI:Ag said, he had now a motion to make
relative t. ihe *my extraordinary conduct pursued
by the Keepers of the Gallery at the Old Bailey
during the late State Trials, anti he had to move
for an account of all the rates and demands made
each day for admission to the galleries during the
said State Trialb, and that the Sword Bearer do pre-
sent such account to this Court, such fees being
Part of his office.
Mr. Alderman ATKINS suggested, that as this
motion might lead to some kind of discussion, it
might perhaps be proper to the Worthy Mover to
give notice of such a motion, as the fees of the
Sword Bearer were of some moment at present,
Mr. OLDHAM agreed, and the notice was enter-
ed for the next Court, Mr. 0. observing, that the
practice was highly pernicious, and would require
alteration.

Mr. Dixon, in consequence of the then state
of the Court, from so many members retiring,
deferred presenting the Report of the Committee
relative -to the charges brought by the late Lord
Nlayor against Sheriff Parkins till next Court.
The Court then ballotted for a person to he

LONDON BRIDGE.

The CITY REMI:MBIANCER reprted, that five
Petitions on the subje,t of Loudon Bridge had
been presented to the House of Commons, anti
that one of them prayed that there might be a
Bill brought in to build a new Bridge, and place
it under the superintendence of other and disinte-
rested persons.

After a few words on the subject by Alderman
Wood, Messrs. Oldham, &c., Sir Tnomns
moved, that the City Members he requested to
move in Parliament for a Select Committee on the
subject.—Agreed to.

Mr. Alderman WooD requested that the City.
Surveyor should lay the plan of building the.
Courts of •King's Bench, of Common Pleas, and
those for the Commissioners of Bankrupts, on'
the site of BlaAwell Hall, btfore this Court.
This request was instantly complied with, and the
plan seemed to give universal satisfaction.

DUTY ON WOOL.

Mr. S. WORTLEY presented a Petition from
certain MMManu►acturing Villages in the County oh
*Yolk, stating the great distress under which they
laboured, anti imputing that distress to the late
duty on wool, lie would read certain passages
from the Petition. The persons who had signed
the present Petition were well affected to the pre-
sent order of things. Ile then read a part of the
Petition, which stated the distress known in
Clat part, tram want of employment for the poor,
to he-great beyond example. nom an accurate
inquiry msde, it appeared there were no
fewer than 1700 persons, who, front the com-
meneeinent of the present year,.had not been cble
to obtain on the average more than I Id. per week.
:Clic petition, which was from the tlercbants,

A Pe:itio9 was presented against this Borough

who cot4lained of the High Bailiff's conduet
relative to a ease in the Court of Ittquests, and
prayed redress.

London, England, 1820-07-20

legislated on a subject of this kind ; for there no ver
was a Bill on such a subject which so much be-
trayed an utter ignorance of common law, on the
part of.those who, framed it. The amendments
which had been introduced Made such a total
alteration in it frOni what the Bill originally'
was, that it reminded him of what had been
said of a silk stocking, which was -so oftikt
mended _ with worsted, that at loci)* a'tet a".
bit of the silk remained. And were their
Lordships to send back this Bill to the House
of Commons with all their alterations ? The
Bill was altogether wrong in its principle ;
it set out with supposing, that some suit should
be entered, with a view to annul a marriage. But
he would tell the framers of. the Bill, that it
would not be necessary to institute any suit for
such a purpose. The Bill would be taking away
from legitimacy all that was legitimate, and giving
'tt, the illegitimate advantages to N'S hich they could
not be entitled : and he entreated their Lordships
not to proteed to remedy an alleged grievance,
which could not be done without introducing in-
finitely grr.nter evils than those proposed to be
remedied. Therefore, he hoped, that no further
progress would be taken on the Bill during the
present Session.
Lord ELLENROROUGH said, he felt himself
quite incapable of replying to all the legal objec-
tions of the Noble and Learned Lord. But to ob-
viate the error which had been alluded to, he
had a clause which he meant to propose to the
House in the Committee. There were certain
provisions in the Marriage Act, which were a
most intolerable hardship, for a marriage might
be annulled in consequence of some accidental
expressions in point of form, or in the signing of
names. He was therefore most anxious that their
Lordships should go into the Committee, ,when
such alterations might be made-as would remove
.the objections urged against the Bill.
The Earl of WESTMORELAND denied that the
Bill went in any way to shake the foundations
of property ; but on the contrary, he contended,
that it went to prevent the ruin of many persons
who might be unjustly bastardized according to
the law, as it now stood. He wished to have the
Marriage Law protected, because at present it
was a trap for innocence, and rendered the pro-
perty of unsuspecting persons liable to be plun-
dered ; and this Bill he conceived would prevent
such an evil. The Noble Earl concluded with
supporting the Bill.
After a. few observations from the EarLof Car.-
narvon, Lord Erskine, Lord Calthorpe, the Earl
of Liverpool; and Lor'. Holland,, the House di-
vided, and we understand there
,appeared--:-
For postponing the further consideration of the

ALIEN BILL.

The House went into a Committee on the Alien
Bill, when some conversation took place respect-
ing one of the clauses, which was entirely in-
audible below the Bar. Having gone through the
Bill, the Report was immediately received.

Knight master, intruded as a packet to carry the mail between
Soul hampton and the Isle of Wight, left this port to-day fur

Cowes.

The following is the Report from the Select
Committee of the House of Commons on Steam
Engines and Furnaces

"—The revival of your Committee has afforded a full oppor-
tunity of ascertaining how far the reduction of smoke in fur-
naces of different descriptions can be practically'accomplish-
ed ; and the evidence detailed in the Appendix will shew that
the object the liouse had in view, has been satisfactorily and
effectually obtained.—July 5, 1890." .

AGRICULTURE.—The fields between Glasgow
and Stirling are most luxuriant. Never did the
crops promise a more abundant harvest. Wheat,
Barley, and even Oats are in excellent condition.
Flax is also a very good crop ; and the potatoes,
although not so rich as .the other crops, will be
superior in quality. The blessing is more valua-
ble, as the reaping will be several weeks earlier
than it is in ordinary years.
We understand that the Delegates for elect-
ing the Professor of Humanity, in the room of
the late Professor CHRISTI sos, have unanimously
nominated Mr. JhMES PILIANS, A. M. Rector of
the High School of this city; to fill that chair.—
(Edinburgh Courant.)

A Gentleman who crossed the Frith of Forth
in a pinnace on Monday se'nnight, mentions that
the passengers were astonished by the appearance
of a porpoise, perfectly white, which played for
a considerable time round the boat; giving those
on board an opportunity of admiring the singu-
larity and beauty of its colour.

• A well contested match at cricket was played on
Saturday last, at Newmarket, by 24 young men
of that town, in which one Party gained 57
-notches in: the first, and 54 in the'second innings
and the other 81 in the first, and 26 in the second;
the latter of course lost only by four notches.

DR. NORRIS'S FEVER DROPS.

EIEVERS of every kind, whether Typhus, In-
flammatory, Putrid, Bain'ls, or Nervous; the Yellow
arid other Fevers, Fluxes, and Bilious Complaints endemicsl
to hot climates, but especially destructive in the West In-
dies and America; in the cure of all which cases these Drops
star be pronounced a perfect specific.
Without waiting for a crisis or paroxism of the disorder,
given agreeably to the directions in the several Ana distinct
Cases, not a single instance has ever come to the know-
ledge of Dr. NORRIS, in which they Rare failed to cure.
As a febrifuge, an antiputrescent, and a tonic, these in-
valuable Drops stand at present unrivalled, and if it were
possible for any Medicine to merit the name of universal, the
most extensive and successful experience declares this above
all others to be entitled to it.

As Mr. Norris Motile resides now in the country, he has
established a Depot with Mr. Edwards, Mt, Saint Paul's
Church-yard, and Mr. Sanger. Oxford street, opposite Bond-
street. Be careful to-notice, that " Thomas Norris Moore"
is engraved on the Stamp.—Price 2s. 9d., 1 ts., and in Fa-
mily Bottles, 225. each.

YORK ASSIZEi, MO'IDIY, JULY 17.

The Commission was opened on Saturday, and
,the judges attended Divine Service yesterday,
in the Cathedral, when a very suitable Sermon
was preached by Mr. M(FARLANt, the High
,Sheritrs (H. VANSITTART, Esq.) Chaplain. This
morning at 9, Mr. Justice BAYLEY charged the
'City Grand Jury in the Guildhall, and after-
-Ivards tried two felonies in that Court. One of
them was the -case of Francis Cooper, a good-
look;ng youth, who was convicted of stealing
horse from the Clerk of the Peace for the city of
'York, and on occasion of visiting his father in the
.lunatic asylum at Clifton. There are four pri-
.soners yet to be tried in the city ; one of.them
Is a very young man, charged with stealing a bill
to the amount of 50W.

Both Judges proceeded to the Castle at twelve
o'clock ; Mr. J ustice Park took his seat in
the Crown Court; Mr. Justice Bayley on the
Civil side. Several cases, of no public interest,
were disposed of. Mr. Scarlett does not appear
to have arrived yet. Mr. Brougham was in Court
~during the day.

CRIMINAL LAWS.

The Marquess of LANSDOWN moved the third
reading of the Capital Punishments Continuation
Bill, which he prefaced by a short speech, ex-
pressive of his conviction of the emendation
which the Criminal Law of this country would
receive by such an enactment, and the beneficial
results to society which it would operate.
A short discussion ensued on the parts of Lord
REDESD ALE and the LORD CHANCELLOR, in which
the latter moved, as an-indispensable qualifica-
tion in his mind, to introdu_ce, the words, " as to
any goodst wares, or merchandize under the value
of 101."
After a few words in explanation from the No-
ble Marquess, the question on the third reading,
was put, when the House was cleared for a, divi-
sion, but which proceeding did not take place ;
the Bill, however, was read the third time and
passed.
On the re-admission of strangers to the House,
their Lordships were found engaged in a discus-
sion of the Felonies Punishment Commutatio,ii
Bill. The question was, as in the former in-
stance, for' its third reading:
The Loan CHANCELLOR adduced several ob-
jections to the Bill in its then shape. The clause
which affected the punishment for writing threat-
ening letters he strongly objected to, the offence
being in his mind, in every point of view, a bad
one. He suggested to the Noble Marquess the
expediency of postponing the question till to-
morrow, that he might give more of his attention
to the probable effect which such an alteration
in
the laws would produce.
The Noble Marquess assented to the proposi-
' tion, and moved that a 'message be sent to the
Commons, requesting a copy of the Report of
their Committee appointed to consider the Laws
relating to Capital .Punishments; which being
ordered accordingly, an' Adjournment till
to-
morrow immediately took place.

Ordele-d to lie on the table. - -

ABUSES IN COURTS OF REQUESTS.

Mr. C. CALVERT more(' for a Return of the aggregate
amount-of the Pees received in the Court of Requests for the
ToVin and Borough of Southwark for the last six yea's, under
an Act of the 46th of the late King, for the more speedily re-
covering of Small Debts; together with a Return of their ag-
gregate amount in the two years preceding the passing of the
said Act, distinguishing the amount in each year. The Hon.
Member said, if these Papers proved what he expected they
would prove, he thought it probable that in the next Session
he should bring in a Bill to alter the law with respect to
Courts of Request. His reason for doing this he would very
shortly state. He understood. that to recover in the Court
of Requests for the Town and Borough of Southwark any sum
under 21., say Is. only, the fees of the Court would amount to
las. 3d. In the City of London; the Fees in a like case were
10s. 6d. ; in Vine-street, Westminster, Ss. 3d.; in the Liberty
of the 'lower Hamlets, ss. 9d.; and in Fullwood's Rents,
Ss. 9d. The Papers were ordered.

COMMON COUNCIL PETITION.

The Sheriffs of .London appeared at the Bar, and Mr. She-
riff ROTH W ELL presented a Petition from the Court ot Com-
mon Council.—The Sheriff's baring retired,
Mr. Alderman WOOD stated the Petition now presented
to bare been carried by alvry large majority, without a divi-
sion, not more than- ten persons having opposed it. He
thought it a perfectly constitutional Petition, and agreed
with every word it contained. He moved -that the Petition
should then be read.
The Petition, which was against the Bill of Pains and Pe-
nalties now pending in the other House, was then read
and on the motion of Mr. Alderman Wood, ordered to be

London, England, 1820-07-18

RICHARD CHRISTIE BURTON.

Mr. STUART WORTLEY presented a Petition from three
Gentlemen, who were the assignees of the person at whose
suit Richard Christie Burton bad been arrested. These Gen-
tlemen were subjected to considerable loss through the libe-
ration of that person by an orderof the House. Thoug.ll he
wished Members of Parliament to be in all cases protected
from arrest, yet he thought there ought to be some law-pro•
Tided for the relief of persons who sustained a positive loss
from obedience to an order of that House.—The Petition was
read, and after a few words from Mr. Wilberforce and Mr.
Banks, ordered to lie on the table.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS.

persons confined for debt in the King's Bench Prison, pray.
ing for a continuance of the Insolvent Debtors' Blll.—Ur.
dered to be printed.

NEW BARRACKS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up the
Report of the Barracks Agreement Bill.
Mr. CALCRAFT renewed his opposition to the measure.--
The-more he inquired into it, the more he was convinced •
that the business in question had been begun ors pretences
which would not hold good to carry Ministers through
the first place, it was said). that the public could not longer
base those Barracks which had till now been held. This he
positively denied. He had ascertained that the public might ,
still have had them on the same terms as formerly. He cons-
plaint(' of the little respect which had been shewn to Parlia-
ment on this occasion, and shewed that the arguments urged
eight years ago in favour of a similar plan, had been refuted
by facts which had since transpired. Works like new Bar-
racks, ought not to hare been commence) without the appro-
bation of Parliament.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER briefly defend-
ed the Bill, and shewed that the accommodation called for by
the new Barracks was wanted, and that there was no certainty
of a continuance of that which the present Barracks afforded,
as they could only be held from year to year. •
Mr. WILSON contended, that the Barracks ought to belong
to the public before 31 years, front the present time, were ex-
pired, and asserted 70,0001. to be a larger sum than ought to
be paid fur the accommodation now to be obtained.
An HON. MEMBER wished to know, in the event of the
works being stopped which were now in progress, who were to
pay -for the expences already incurred ?
CALCRAFT thought this question ought to he an-
swered by those who bad set the parties to work who were
now employed in the Barracks. What he principally com-
plained of was, that works that were to cost the country
70,0001. had been begun, while Ministers had not deigned to
give an estimate on the subject to that House.
The MEMBER who had spoken before wished to know if
the Hon. Gentleman thought the expellee ought to fall on in-
dividuals or on the country ?
Mr. CALCRAFT was. inclined to say that it ought to be
borne by the Members of the Cabinet.
Mr. LEONARD spoke against the agreement.
The House then divided, when the numbers were—
For the Motion 9Z
Against it.
Majority -748
The Scotch Fisheries Bill was read a third time anti passed.
~ DUBLIN ELECTION.
The SPEAKER said, he had to acquaint the House that he

Ellis, to serve in the present Parliament.
The Petition was then read and ordered to be taken into
consideration on Tuesday fortnight.

CATHOLIC QUESTION.

Mr. PLUNKETT held in his hand two Petitions on. the
part of the. Roman Catholics of Ireland, most respectably
signed, and so worded as to merit in his opinion the serious
consideration of the House. These Petitions he believed to
express the general sentiments of the inhabitants of the plaees
from whence they came. He however wished to state that
he did nut intend proposing at present any measure for the
relief of the ROman Catholics, and, he thought it right that he
shonktmake known why be came to thiNdeterminatioo. He
felt that while that momentous and embarrassing question
which now occupied all minds was pending, he should be
wanting in respect to the Throne, to the Parliament, and to
the Country, if he were at the present period to bring the
Catholic Claims forward, when the attention of all parties
was so much engaged. He spoke-too weakly when be called
the important question to- which he had alluded.embarrass-
ing—he considered it to be a qUestion of great calamity to the
country, and one that-required the attention of every honest
man in it. At such a time then- it-was not his intention to
submit any motion respecting the Catholic Claims, or to pre-
sent any Petition. At the same time he must say, that he
considered the Catholic Question-to be one of such import-
ance, that in his judgment it ought not to be-lost sight of,
and could net be long kept back; and he therefore gave no-
tice, that at an early period after the other most important
question had been disposed of, he should take an opportunity
of bringing this subject under the eonsideration of the House.
Acting thus, he hoped he should merit the approbation of
those who were friendly to the question, and also that of its
political enemies. At .present he declined presenting the-
Petitions.

tive of accidents.

A great eclipse of the sun will take place on
the 7th of September next. This eclipse will be
visible over an extent of more than four millions
square leagues, a surface nearly equal to a sixth
part of the earth, and resembling a kind of oval
of about 7,500 leagues in circumference, com-
prising all Europe, the western part of Asia, all
Africa, as far as to Monopotapa, and a part of
North America. The eclipse will last three
hours.

Mr. JACKS, Librarian to the Royal Library at
Bamberg, has discovered there a manuscript of the
Roman history of EUTROPIUS, which was probable
brought from Rome by the Emperor licNny, thy
founder of the Bishopric of Bamberg. The MS. is
more complete than any of the best editions hither-
to published of this author, and very likely to
correct a number of false readings. Professor
GoELLErt, of Cologne, had previously discovered
in the Royal Library a MS. of Livy,

,Mr. HOME wished for the attendance of some
of his Majesty's Ministers, before the House ad-
journed, that he might ask why certain papers
which he had moved for respecting the Revenues
of Gibralter had not been produced. He wished
for information on this subject, as it was his in-
tention to bring it before the House immediately
on its re-assembling.
Mr. LUShINGTON said, Ministers were not like-
ly to be in their places in time to answer the
question of the Hon. Gentleman, but he believed
some of the papers had already been produced,
Tuid he would use his best endeavours to acce-
lerate the production of the others that had been
