THE COLLEGE.

One of our contemporaries has published a
list of signatures to the Anti-Catholic petition of
the Protestants of Dublin, in which appears a
very imposing array of names with the re-
spectable addition of T.C.D. Another even-
ing contemporary would have you believe the
University of Dublin is decidedly opposed
to the claims of their Catholic countrymen, and
per fas et ncfirs, labours hard to establish this
point. `'ire believe we are at least as intimately
acquainted with the College as any of our con'-
temporaries, and we therefore solicit the atten-
tion of our readers to the following short and
simple statement of idets. The Corporation of
the College, that is the electors, consists of 95
individuals, exclusive of the Provost. This
number it is necessary to classify as follows :
Seven Senior Fellows, who, with the Pro-
vost, constitute the government of the Col-
lege ; . eighteen junior Fellows, and seventy
Scholars ; in all ninety-five. Of this aggre-
gate we observe signed to the petition the names
of one Senior Fellow, three Junior Fellows, and
eighteen Scholars ; in all 22. But let us con-
sider this point further. Of the governing body,
to whom we are bound to give credit for ma-
turity of judgment, we find but one-eighth of the
body signing this petition ; of the class next in
importance, viz., the Junior Fellows, one-sixth,
and of the Scholars, nearly one-fourth. fie look
among the signatures in vain for a Kyle, a Lloyd,
a Sadlier, au Elrington, or even a Singer. Are our
ultra contemporaries prepared to say that these dis-
tinguished and talented individuals are not true
to the welfare and integrity of our religious esta-
blishment? Such an assertion, dare not be
hazarded.

Of the other students who have +tigned this
petition we have further to observe, that they
are by no means the distinguished or studious
part of the College, it being a fact that by far
the majority of them are in the Junior Freshmen
Class, or in other words, are those who have
been transferred from the nursery to the care of
their College Tutors. It was a half dozen of
youths of this description, who chose a corner of
the Park for burning the Member for the Col-
-1 lege in effigy, at a late hour of the night—a cir-
cumstance trumpeted forth by the Mail, ct hoc
genus omne, as indicative of the feelings of the
College towards Mr. Plunket.
The truth is, that the Establishment of this
country by no means interferes with the claims
of the Roman Catholics. Let us be understood.
We repeat it, as the distinguished and highly
gifted representative of the College has demon-
strated, the Protestant Establishment and the
Catholic Claims are not necessarily opposed to
, each other. A mistaken view of their interests.
as a body, may have induced many members of
the Establishment to array themselves against
the civil privileges of the Catholics, but can this
excuse be pleaded for the war, hitherto carried
on by the selfish and narrow portion of the Press,
against the tranquillity, the happiness of Ire-
land ?—Dublin Patriot.

It may probably be still in the recollection of
many of our readers, that in the latter end of May last
year, we reported an act of diabolical devastation com-
mitted upon the green-house plants, wall-fruit, &c. in the
gardens of John Thurlow Dering, Esq. of Crow-hall, near
Downham Markel. It is now our painful task to record
(which we do with sensations of the deepest regret,) a still
mere foul and atrocious act oevillainy perpetrated upon the
property of the above-named gentleman. On Sunday night
last, or early on Monday morning, some miscreant broke
into the said garden, burglarionsly entered the green-house,
and destroyed every plant therein, including many fine
orange and lemon trees of nearly forty years growth, and
which had been productive of much fruit ! The ruthless
villain then barked, cut down, and demolished between 40
and 50 peach, nectarine, and other choice and valuable
wall-fruit trees, which had been selected with great care,
to supply the deficiency occasioned by last year's depreda-
tion, and which were at this time in full bearing. Not
sufficiently sated with these acts of devastation, he cut
through, mutilated, and destroyed several fine vines, giv-
ing fair promise of an abundant crop; and proceeding, in
the work of demolition, rooted up every melon and cu-
cumber plant, and broke to atoms all the frames and
glaases ! In short, such a scene of diabolical havoc and
desolation was scarcely ever before witnessed ; and most
sincerely it is to be hoped that the measures already adopted
may lead to the villain's deteetion.......Cam6rido :Paper.

MINISTERS' MONEY.

Mr. SPRING RICE presented a petition from Wex-
ford upon the subject of Ministers' Money.
Sir J. NEWPORT supported the prayer of the petition.
and observed that it was a great hardship that :the parish
should have to pay a curate when the incumbent had a re-
venue of 8091. a-year.
The petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. F. WILSON presented a petition from the inhabi-
tants of Selby, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, for
abolishing the practice of burning Hindoo Widows.

WATER COMPANIES.
Mr. CHARLES PALLMER presented a petition from
certain inhabitants of Lambeth and anistchuich, in
Surrey, complaining of the Water Companies; and gave
notice of a motion to include the Water Companies of thosc
south and Surrey sides of the metropolis in the inquiry
into the Companies.

COVENTRY MAGISTRATES' BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,
Mr. objecting to a decision upon this
sub
jeet,iaiEt so late TE
tieCa°nl: our, and when other measums, of
much less importance, were postponed, moved, as an

Amendment, that the third reading be postponed until
Monday next.
After a few words from Mr. FYLER, in support of his
Hon. Colleague's proposition,
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the debate was
continued for some time with closed doors.
On a Division the numbers were--

For the Amendment 19—Against it 44—Majority 25.
Strangers were not again admitted, but we understand,
that on the Motion for the Third Reading being put a se-
cond time,
Mr. lIEATHCOTE moved that the House do now Ad-
journ.
During the exclusion of strangers, we understood that
Messrs. HEATHCOTE and FrLER pressed an amendment for
the adjournment of the House, and threatened to exercise
the privilege of dividing the House, if the Bill were not
postponed until Monday.
On our return to the Gallery, we found

Mr. HEATHCOTE on his legs, threatening to enter
into a detail of all the evidence given before the Co:nmittce.
After the Hon. Member had read a part of the evidence,
a fresh discussion arose on the amendment for adjourn-
ment. It was finally agreed to postpone the Bill until
Monday next, on which night, at whatever hour the dis-
cussion should come on, it was understood tbat the Bill
would be disposed of.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of,
after which the House adjourned at Three o'Clock this
morning until to-morrow (this day).

DUNBAR HARBOUR BILL.

Colonel DALRYMPLE moved the Third Reading c I
the Dunbar Harbour Bill.

Lord BINNING proposed a clause, by way of rider, to
the effect that the names of five of the principal inhabi-
tants should be added u Commissioners, thus dividing the
trust between the Magistrates and the inhabitants.
Mr. FERGUSSON objected to the clause as an inter-
ference with the vested rights of the Corporation of Dunbar.
Mr. HUME said the Bill went to-grant a renewal of the
power of taxation for twenty-one years, and all the inha
bitants wanted was to have a concurrent power in the dis-
posal of the money drawn from their pockets.—(Hear.)—
In his opinion, nothing could be more fair or reasonabl,
than the clause proposed by the Noble Lord. -
Mr. W. DUNDAS defended the Magistrates of Dunbar
from the imputations which were thrown on them. He
thought the House should be guided by the report of the
Committee.

After a few words from Sir GEORGE WARRENDER
and Sir RONALD FERGUSSON, the Gallery was
cleared for a division, and the numbers were—

For the Clause
Against it
Majority ----54

The Bill was then passed.

having been pleased to grant his ROYAL LET-
TERS PATENT to W. DAY, PATENTEE of the EX-

important Improvements in the Material and Construction
of BEDSTEADS, Bedding, and OTHER PORTABLE
FURNITURE, whereby it is rendered capable of EX-
PANSION and CONTRACTION at pleasure, also ele-
gant, light, and unusually commodious, the attention
of Military and Naval Officers is respectfally solicited
thereto, as being articles peculiarly adapted. for their 'use
and comfort, and only requiring inspection to insure their
patronage. W. D. returns his grateful thanks, and en-
treats a continuance of the distinguished and extensive pa-
tronage he has already received for his PATENT EX-
PANDING and PRESS TRUNKS and PORTMAN-
TEAUS, the peculiar properties and advantages of which
have been so long and highly estimated, as to render fur-
ther mention here unnecessary. W. D. begs to add, that
the Patent Metallic EXTENDING BEDSTEAD will be
found an elegant and convenient article in Private Fami-
lies. Also to Gentlemen residing in Chambers, Sec.
Manufastories, MS, Strand, and 12, Charing-cross.

enables any person, in a few minutes, to prepare a com-
fortable Breakfast. It boils Water, prepares Coffee and

minutes.
For Dinner, it will prepare Soup, steam Vegetables, and
cook Fish, Chops, or Steaks, at the same time.

sr The operation may be performed upon a breakfast

For Pedestrians, it may be carxied in the hand.
For Tea, it answers the purpose of an Urn, and saves
both the trouble and expenee of lighting a fire.
It is admirably adapted for warm weather and hot cli-
mates ; for Taverns and Coffee Houses ; Parties of Plea-
sure, and Rural Rambles.

From its convenience and economy, it is worthy the at-
tention of single persons, and small families living in
lodgings; and its construction is such as to make it inva-
luable on board of Vessels in rough weather, as the motion
of the Vessel does not affect it; and the saving of fuel will
more than pay the expence of it in one short voyage.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
SUDDEN V. MONTAGU.
A BREEZE!

Mr. SconEN stated, that in a case that was before the
Court a day or two ago, and in which he appeared on one
side, and Mr. Montagu on the other, Mr. Montagu had
made use of the term sharp practitioners—applying it to
his (Mr. Sugden's) clients, which had got into print, and
given considerable pain to the feeling of those gentlemen.
For his (Mr. Sugden's) own part, he had not the pleasure
of knowing much of the Solicitors alluded to, yet he be-
lieved them to be highly respectable, and did not think
Mr. Montagu's observation was intended offensively.

The LORD CHANCELLOR believed them to be most re-
spectable.
Mr. MONTAGU had always been most anxious to avoid
giving pain to any individual's feelings, and although he
did use the words " most sharp practitioners" in the pre-
sent case, he meant nothing but what he was prepared to
repeat.
Mr. SUGDEN considered that if any blame was at-
tributable to his clients in consequence of sharpness in this
case, he himself was liable to an equal degree of censure.
His Loanstur did not understand that Mr. Montagu,
by the term he used, meant to say that the Solicitors were
not most respectable persons ? •
Mr. MONTAGU—.-Certainly not.
Mr. SUGDEN then, considered that he must have meant
to pay the Solicitors a compliment.
Mr. MONTAGU meant no such thing. In the present
instance, he felt the practice that had been adopted to have
been most sharp and wrong, whoever was concerned in it.
Mr. Sucnax—lf you are going to turn the attack on
me, I can only tell you that 'spurn it and laugh at it.
Mr. MONTAGU—You may spurn and laugh at what you
please ; but your scorn and laughter will never prevent me
discharging my duty. My Lord, I have been Counsel for
these gentlemen the last twenty years, and certainly I
should be the last to say they were not respectable ; but I
contend, on this occasion, the practice which gave rise to
my observation, if it came from Messrs. Hurd and John-
son, was sharp and wrong—if it came from Mr. Sugden, it
was sharp and wrong.
Mr. SUGDEN—Then I spurn it, and treat it with the
most bitter contempt, as far as it regards myself; and as it
concerns my clients, they anust be brought here in a dif-
ferent way to be complained of.
Mr. MONTAGU—The man who treats any thing with
contempt has faculties he knows not how to use.

Mr. SucnEN—Why do you turn round on me? I was
not in the slightest de7ee out of humour this morning,
nor meant to give for one angry observation.
Mr. AIONTACII-You have acknowledged yourself to
be liable to any censure attaching to the practise that was
adopted.
His LORDSHIP-Well, but really we must put an end
to this, and I think that when such expressions as these
are used in a moment of haste, they ought not to be put
in the Newspapers. It is a misfortune that they get into
the public prints.
Mr. Mowracu—Why my Lord, taking all things into
consideration, I do not think it is a misfortune.
His LoaDm-lir—Well, but you did not mean to say
they were not respectable?
Mr. MoNTA u—Certainly not.
His LORDSHIP-That is enough. Call the next case.

THE SECOND NUMBER OF THE
QUARTERLY JOURNAL of SCIENCE, LI-
TERATURE, and ART. (New Series.) Edited at the
Royal Institution of Great Britain. By W. T. BRANDS,
Esq., E.R,S. Prof. Chem. R. I. &c.
Printed for Henry Colburn, Nev Burling-ton-street.

This Work will in future be conducted upon a more ex-
tended and popular plan than hitherto, and instead of being
chiefly confined to the abstract Sciences, and principally.
addressed to the proficient, it is proposed to render its con-
tents more suitable to the general reader; for it cannot be
denied that the elements of many of the Sciences, when
treated in a popular manner, are as interesting in the
perusal, as they are useful and important in their results.
The subjects discussed, will, accordingly, consist chiefly of
such of the Sciences and Arts as are cultivated more or
less in domestic circles, and which consequently number,
among their Students, a large body of Amateurs of 'both'
sexes in various classes of society, particularly in the
highest ; as, for example, Chemistry, Botany, Horticulture,
Geology, Astronomy, Natural History, in all its divisions,
(especially the very attractive one of Zoology) Music,
Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. Popular Trea-
tises on the Medical Art will also be included, particularly
as it relates to Diet, Air, Exercise, &c. •

Another portion of this Journal will be devoted to the
Biographies of Scientific Men, and to Reviews of such
Publications as may be considered to have relation to the
general design of the Work ; including Voyages and Tra-
vels, Books connected with Antiquities, &c. A full Quar-
terly Abstract will also be given of all that relates to the
General Progress of the Arts and Sciences in this and other
Countries. The Proceedings of Learned Bodies, and of
Scientific and Literary Institutions, will thus forma De-
partment, in which an opportunity will, doubtless, be offer-
ed of furnishing much that is new and interesting. The
Transactions of the Members of the Royal Institution espe-
cially, will form a prominent article, and, from their varied
nature, may be expected to confer a useful and distinctive
character upon the Quarterly Journal of Science, Litera-
ture, and Art.
Communications for the Editor are requested to be ad-
dressed to the Royal Institution, Albemarle-street.

KING'S THEATRE.

Mademoiselle George, the principal ornament of
the French Theatre, performed here last night (for
her own benefit) in Voltaire's impressive tragedy of
" Semiramis." From the appearance of this lady,
we should have supposed her age to be about fifty,
'though her voice would seem to indicate that she
was younger. In person she is (to use the
lang much
language of Thompson) " more fat than bard
beseems ;" her face, however, is striking and
beautiful, and almost redeems the oppressive
exuberance of her figure. In the very first act, she
gave an instance of those powers, which have so
often electrified the Parisians : the manner, too, in
which she assumed the throne, and declared the
royal will to the people, was equally impressive.
But the two passages in which she made the
deepest impression, were the concluding scenes of
the fourth and fifth acts; her horror at finding that
she was on the eve of marrying her own son, and her
shame on discovering that he knew her to be
his father's murderer : the delivery :of these two
passages exhibited the proudest triumph of the art.
Her pathos was not equal to her passion ; though
there was a tenderness in her recitation of the fol-
lowing lines, which brought tears to the eyes of
those among the audience who had the good lop'
,K
to understand French :

ARRIVAL OF THE MARCHIONESS WEL.
LEnEy.---This amiable and deservedly popular
Lady arrived in town on Monday, considerably

S. BRUCE, Sir G. RICH, Sir E. HUNTER, and
other gentlemen of the suite, received the
Marchioness at hor landing.--Dublin Morning

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—A very in-
teresting child, the sister of Miss ROMER, the
Columbine of Covent-Garden Theatre, made
her first appearance last night at this house, .as a
vocalist, and executed the little song she had to
sing, with a spirit and power quite surprising in
a child of such tender years, and which gives
promise that this juvenile syren will, at some
future day, arrive at no mean eminence in the
profession to which she is devoted.
THE MELODIsTs.---Yesterday the Melo-
dists' Club held their last meeting for the sea-
son, at the Freemasons' Tavern. There was
plenty of good eating and singing, in the last of
which capacities Mr. BRA HAM figured with
considerable effect,

CATHOLIC CLAIMS.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY seeing a
Noble Marquis opposite (the Marquis of Lens-
down), hoped he would not be considered intrud-
ing, if he desired to know whether it was the
Noble Marquis's intention, provided he received pe-
tions from the Roman Catholics in Ireland on behalf
of their claims for an early discussion in the course of
next Sessions, immediately to present them, and urge
the subject on for the instant consideration of the
House, that he (the Marquis of Londonderry),
might be able to answer any interrogatories that
might be put to him in England, between this
and the next meeting of Parliament. If the Noble
Marquis answered him affirmatively, then would
That compact soon be disclosed which had been
entered into by his Majesty's Mini4try. Should
the answer be in the negative, it would be taken as
a statement on the part of the Noble Marquis
against the claims of the Catholics in Ireland; and
should the Noble Marvis give no answer at all,
his conduct would be lootcci-,,, 741. the,camp

feelings of disgust, by the country, as the statements
which had been made respecting him elsewhere.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN did ;zot' think
himself called on by any Noble Lord to ,state
to the House what his future line of conduct
would be. He had never presented any pe-
tition to this House, nor made any motion in it,
but as an individual; and should any interrogatories
be put to the Noble Marquis when he went to Ire-
land respecting his (Lord Lansdown's) future inten-
tions or conduct, the Noble Marquis had a very easy
and simple answer to make, namely, that he was
=acquainted with them.
TEST ACT.

The Siorquis of LANSDOWN presented a peti-
tion from Potisea, against the Corporation and Test
Acts.
London, England, 1827-06-29

(as Mrs. Douglas stated) surreptitiously removed, bid
under such circumstances that Mrs. Douglas caused Mrs.
Rathbone to be apprehended, and when the officers pro-
ceeded to the house for that purpose, they discovered Mrs.
Rathbone locked up in the wine-cellar.
Mrs. Rathbone and her Solicitor contended that she had
a legal right to the property in question, having acted under
the authority of Dr. Hallett (Mrs. Douglas's brother), who
had given her a power of attorney to act as she had done,
the Doctor being indebted to her in the sum of 1,3001.
With respect to the charge of concealment, the Magistrate
was informed that Mrs. Rathbone entertained considerable
dread of being subpoenaed on a trial ; and this induced her
to lock herself in the wine-cellar.

Mrs. Douglas said that her brother's property was no-
thing to her, and Mrs. Rathbone, at the time the goods
were removed (six o'clock in .the morning), was aware
that they belonged to her (Mrs. Douglas), having been
directed a few days previously to prepare the house for her
reception.
The officers stated that they had experienced great diffi-
culty in getting into Mrs. Rathbone's house, having been
obliged to break several panes of glass before they effected
an entrance.

The case was ultimately ordered to be postponed, Mrs.
Rathbone's solicitor undertaking for his client's appear-
ance ; and also, that none of the property, part of which
was produced, consisting of a parrot, a pair of candlesticks,
&c. should be made away with.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, Jula 28.

The Earl of MALMESBURY said, that he
would take this opportunity of moving for various
Returns, with the view of having them prepared
by the next Session of Parliament. The Returns
were of the utmost importance, as they referred to
the local taxation on land. The Noble Lord then
moved for a return of all sums levied for the relief
of the poor in England, during the year ending the
25th March, 1827, distinguishing the sums severally
levied on lands, lands and houses, and on factories. A
return of all sums levied on account of church rates
and highway rates in each county within the same
period, distinguishing the several sums in the same
manner as in the former return. A return of the
amount of land tax levied during the year, ending
on the sth of April, 1827, together with a return of
the amount of the land tax redeemed within the
same period ; and a return of the amount of all
duties collected in respect of Ale, Beer, Malt, and
Hops within the same period.

The several Returns were directed to be laid be-
fore the House.

CORN BILL.

Lord LAUDERDALE presented a petition from
the farmers of Woodbridge market, against the
passing of the new Corn Bill. The Noble Lord
felt satisfied that the consequences which would
arise from the passing this Bill, would occasion a
greater influx of corn into this country than had been
at allanticipated. No less than 23 vesselshad this very
(lay arrived in the river laden with grain, and he
sincerely wished the House, before it rose, to make
itself much more aware than it was at present, vvbat
the effect of the passing of this Bill would be upon
the grain market in this country.
Lord KING presented a petition from an indi-
vidual, in favour of the Arrest on Mesne Process
Bill.

This Bill was then on the motion of Lord TEN-
TERDEN, read a third time and passed.
Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from
Thomas Flanagan, of Sligo, praying for a revision
of the Irish Magistracy.

Lord REDESDALE moved that a Return of the
Number of Commissions issued against Bankers up
to October next, distinguishing what other trades
they carried on, and what was the amount of their
debts, and what number of Commissions had been
superseded, should be made out, so that it might be
laid on their Lordships' table on the first day of
next Session of Parliament.—Ordered.

CORN EXCHANGE.

There are this week fair supplies of most kinds of English
Grain, and another very large arrival of Foreign Oats. The
Wheat trade remains very dull, at the prices of Monday. Bar-
ley is 2s. to 3s. per qr. lower. Beans and Pease are each further
reduced Is. per quarter. The great chew of Oat samples has
caused a very heavy trade for this article to-day, and the prices
of Feed Corn may be reported Is. per quarter lower. Flour Meets
a dull sale.
