be just so much the better suited to the great end
—for they would then embark native interests in
the ugency of our trade.

And to conclude:—the career thus traced for
steam, as applied to navigation, is surely more
worthy of the magnitude of the discovery, than
any at present open to it. The powers now used
are gigantic : and they are literally thrown away
on mere speed, on the conveyance of pleasure
parties, on the amusement, perhaps in some de-
gree on the convenience, of life: but they are
scarcely at all applied to its real business: It
would be difficult to find a stronger presumption
than is furnished by these circumstances alone, that
they are yet in the infancy of their application, and
that the change which is to make them useful is to
come.

ROYAL GIFTS.-MAUNDY THURSDAY.

Yesterday being Maundy Thursday, his Majesty's
annual donations were distributed with the usual cere-
monies at Whitehall Chapel, to as many poor and aged
men and women as the King is years o'.d—viz. 67 of each.
The custom has been traced back as far as the reign of
E !ward 111. A large quantity of provisions were distri-
buted to the Maundy people in the morning, in a tem-
porary building constructed for the occasion at the
back of Whitehall Chapel, in which, after being arranged
round two tables—the men at one table, and the women at
the other—each person was supplied with a loaf of bread
weighing one pound and a half, by Mr. Hanby, Secretary
to the lord High Almoner, and Mr. Jones, Groom of the
Almonry. Six large wooden dishes containing pieces of
fine beef, each piece weighing three pounds and a half, were
then placed on the tables, when the Sub-Almoner read the
following grace before meat :
" Bless, 0 Lord, this Royal Maundy to the use of these
Thy servants, and dispose their hearts to the praise of Thy
holy name, with gratitude to their Royal benefactor,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
The beef was then distributed, after which came the
grace after meat :
" Graft, 0 Lord, in the hearts of these people grateful
obedience to the Royal dispenser of these Thy blessings,
and cause them to look up to Thee as the Supreme Au-
thor of every good, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
A wooden platter, containing two salt cod, two salt
salmon, 18 red, and a similar number of salt herrings, and
four loaves, was nest placed before each person.
Large leather flagons filled with ale, and several wooden
ale cups, were produced by the distributor. The Sub-
Almoner, and attendants, drank to the health of King
George IV., which was also drank by the Maundy people
in succession. The recipients then departed with their
load of provision.
The recipients re-assembled in the interior of Whitehall
Chapel, at two o'clock in the afternoon, to hear divine
service, and to receive the remainder of the Royal Maundy.
At three o'clock the procession entered the Chapel, pre-
ceded by the Yeoman-Usher, and ten Yeomen in their
state dresses, one of the Yeomen bearing a large gold dish
(set apart for this purpose in the reign of King William
and Queen Mary, whose initials are engraved on it), round
the edges of which were ranged the purses, containing
each a sovereign, and as many silver pennies as the King
is years old, the Sub-Almoner, followed by two girls and
two boys from the Westminster National School (selected
for good conduct), the Secretary, and the Groom of the
Almonry, and others wearing white scarfs, and carrying
nosegays.
Sir George Smart played a voluntary as soon as the
procession entered the chapel, and continued playing till
the whole had taken their stations—the Sub-Almoner and
two Yeomen within the altar, the officers and children on
seats, and the Yeomen along the aisle, under the Royal
closet and at each door. The Sub-Dean of the Chapel
Royal was within the altar. The church service appro-
priated for the day was read by the Rev. Dr. Vivian.
The anthems were sung by Messrs. Evans, Goulden,
Hawes, Nield, Hobbs, Wild, Welsh, Clarke, and eight of
the young gentlemen of his Majesty's Chapel Royal.'w
The first anthem was " Blessed is he that considereth
the poor and needy," (Hawes), which being sung, shoes
and stockings were distributed to the Maundy men. The
second anthem was, " Praise the Lord, 0 Jerusalem,"
(Scott). The woollen and linen cloth were then distributed
by the Sub-Almoner. The third anthem was, " 0 Lord,
grant the King a long life," (Nares. ) The purses of money
were then distributed to the Maundy men and women. The
last anthem was, "Blessed be thou, 0 Lord God of Israel,"
(Kent). After which followed two beautiful prayers for the
King, and the usual prayers to the conclusion of the ser-
vice, which being ended, a silver flagon, filled with wine,
was brought by the Officers of the Wine-cellar, and the
King's health was drank by the Sub-Almoner, the Officers
of the Almonry, and the Gentlemen of the Chapel Royal,
the organ playing " God save the King." The Officers
of the Wine-cellar, and Mr. Hanby, Groom of the
Almonry, afterwards supplied the whole of the Maundy
people with a cup of wine each, permitting them to retain
the cup. Mr. Howse, Serjeant of the King's Vestry,
preceded the pi ()cession.
The Bishop of London, as Dean of the Chapel Royal,
St. James's, confirmed about 50 of the young Nobility and
Gentry yesterday morning in the Chapel Royal, assisted by
the Sub-Dean and by the Rev. Mr. Hall.
The Dean of Westminster will preach this day at the
Chapel Royal ; and the Archbishop of York, as Lord High
Almoner, will preach at the same chapel on Sunday next,
being Easter Sunday.

THE MEMORABLE MAJORITY
DECISIVE OF THE CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.

[The Majority on the Second Reading of the Catholic
Relief Bill in the House of Lords decided its fate.
On that memorable occasion, as on several others, we
spared neither labour nor expence in forwarding, by
Express, the earliest intelligence of such an auspi-

cious event to all parts of England, Scotland, and
Ireland. That our exertions proved eminently suc-
cessful will be seen by the following handsome testi-
monials copied from several of our Contemporaries,
whom we take this opportunity of thanking for their
kindness and liberality.

ENGLAND.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Exchange Rooms, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, April 7.

SIR-.-We are again indebted to the indefatigable exertions of
" The Sun" Newspaper for receiving the details of Saturday's
Debate in the House of Lords on the Catholic Relief Bill, full
24 hours before they would have been accessible to us in the ordi-
nary way. And when we consider that the Legislature has been
occupied in discussing one of the most beneficent measures that
has been brought before it since the Revolution, our acknow-
ledgments (observe I am speaking on behalf of the body of sub-
scribers to this Institution) are pre-eminently due to the spirited
individual who conducts the Paper above-mentioned, for laying
before the public, with such celerity, information so vastly im-
portant. _ _

Although the leading news'-rooms and hotels of this town
were more or less supplied with the late editions of Saturday's
" Sun" at an early hour this morning, owing to the liberal ar-
rangenn nts of the Proprietors of that Journal, yet so great was
the excitement of the public mind, on finding such a prepon-
derating majority in the Lords, in favour of the Catholic Relief
Bill, that the Editor of the Tyne Mereury deemed it expedient
to publish a Second Edition of his Paper in the course of the
day, with Saturday's Debate, and in doing which he handsomely
acknowledges the courtesy that so enabled him to gratify the
public.
Speaking soberly, it may be safely averred that the Parlia-
mentary intelligence of this day has diffused the most lively sa-
tisfaction among all classes of his Majesty's subjects here, save
those who are tardy in getting rid of their prejudices. But these
good persons should bethink themselves, that we live in times
when the eyes of the world are upon us, and when we cannot
fall back upon the benighted ages of superstition and exclusion.
Truth and justice call for equal eligibility to all classes of the
community, with reference to their peculiar modes of thinking
upon religious subjects. Let us indulge the hope, then, that the
good people on either side will lend a willing hand, and thus the
auspicious work of national conciliation will be speedily ac-
complished.
I have the honour to remain, Sir, yours &c.
A SUBSCRIBER.
(From the Berkshire Chronicle of Saturday, April 4.)

THE SUN.--‘. The Sun" Paper, containing the Debate on Thurs-
day night, in the House of Lords, was delivered at our office yes-
terday morning, in little more than six hours after the House ad..
journed !—Since " The Sun" has been under the able management
of Mr. Yoinvo, its exertions have no parallel amongst its totem_
poraries. The cost, however, must be enormous.
(From Drakard's Stamford News of Friday, April 10.)
THE SuN.—Really, the friends of liberal opinions are much in-
debted to " The Sun " Newspaper for the efforts made by its Pro-
prietors to give the earliest information. The division on the
second reading of the Catholic Relief Bill, which took place be-
tween eleven and twelve on Saturday night, was in Stamford
about eleven on Sunday morning, just as our good Protestant
neighbours had gone to church.

A Cabinet Council was expected to have been
held at the Foreign-office on Wednesday afternoon ; the
meeting was, however, postponed till yesterday afternoon,
in consequence of the absence from town of the Duke of
WELLINGTON, who left town in the morning to attend his
MAJESTY at Windsor. About three o'clock yesterday
afternoon the Ministers assembled at the Foreign-office,
Downing-street : those present were the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON, Earls BATHURST and ABERDEEN, Viscount
MELVILLE, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Mr. Secretary PEEL,
Sir GEO. MURRAY, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER, Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD, and Mr. HERRIES.
The Council sat in deliberation till near five o'clock.

Despatches were received at the Foreign,
office, Downing-street, yesterday afternoon, from Sir Clias.
134c0T, our Ambassador at the Hague.

Prince ESTERUAZY (the Austrian Ambassa-
dor) had a conference with the Duke of WELLINGTON
yesterday at the Treasury. Earl BATHURST, the Earl of
ABERDEEN, and Viscount AlELvitr.z, visited the Noble
Duke yesterday.
The French Ambassador had a coßference
with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday, at the office of the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
The Duke of WELLINGTON returned to
town on Wednesday evening from Windsor, and afterwards
dined with the Cabinet Ministers, at the residence of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The celebrated GEORGE FREDERICK COOKE
had a singular antipathy to drummers. He was once reading
the official account of a battle, in which among the returns
of killed was a drummer. When he came to this point,
he dropped the paper, clasped his hands, and with the same
exultation he would have exhibited in Shylock, exclaimed,
Thank God ! thank God ! there's one - drummer
gone at last."
