ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved,
that the House at its rising do adjourn to 'Monday,—
Agreed to.

ASSOCIATIONS SUPPRESSION (IRELAND) BILL.
On the Order of the Day for the House going into a
Committee on this Bill,

Mr. B. CLARKE could not allow this opportunity to
pass without paying his tribute of praise to the Right Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Peel) for the course he had adopted with
respect to Ireland. It was highly honourable and credit-
able to bins. He had been surprised to hear Honourable
Gentlemen state that nothing had occurred in Ireland
within the last six months to alter the sentiments of the
Right Hon. Gentleman. A degree of excitement, much
greater than had ever been known before, had existed in
Ireland during that period. As to what had been said
about infringing the Constitution, that subject ought to
have been considered before the Union. It was too late to
talk about it now. With regard to the Bill before the
House, he approached it with some hesitation. Ile had
given his cordial support to the Act of 1825, because }:.O
thought it necessary, and because he thought it would
lead to the measure to which this Bill was to lead.
He should be much better satisfied if the present
Bill and the measure for the relief of the Catholics
had been introduced together. Having voted for
the Act of 1825, and having been disappointed in
the consequences which he expected from that Act,
he thought it but justice to say, that, in his opinion,
if it bad not been for the Catholic Association,
the Catholic Question would never have been placed where
it was. He hoped that every body who knew him would
believe that he did not say this in order to procure the
good opinion of the Catholic Association. He confessed
that he felt a deep interest in the Catholic Question—he
would rather see a Catholic occupying his place in that
House than be there himself. If by any unforeseen acci-
dent the measure for the relief of the Catholics should be
lost, the Bill now before the House would be but a piece
of waste paper, and the excitement which had hitherto
prevailed in Ireland would be I;ut- a trifle when compared
with the excitement which would exist in that country,
But, whatever consequences might arise, he was ready to
rely on the honour and sincerity of the Right Hon.
tleman (Mr. Peel), and of the Noble Duke at head
of the Government. Besides, the tenderness and regard
which his Majesty was known to entertain for Ireland,
was a great source of consolation to him. He begged par-
don for having trespassed on the House.
An Hon. MEMBER, whsle name we did not learn,
though he did not rise to oppose the Bill, yet implored the
Right Hon. Gentleman to be e!autious in leaving summary
jurisdiction to magistrates.
The SPEAKEII *,lien left the chair, and the clauses were
taken into consideration.

Mr, G. MOORE proposed to insert after the declara-
tion, "and every assembly and meeting thereof (the Ca-
tholic Association), or of any of the members thereof, as
such members, is hereby declared to be an unlawful as-
sembly," the words " under any name or devise whatso.
ever.'

Mr. PEEL thought the words of the 11111 sufficiently
prohibited any meeting of the Association.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. TENNYSON, and Lord
NucENT, concurred in the remarks of tho Right Hon.
Gentleman.

Mr. G. MOORE said there was nothing in the Bill to
prevent the Association meeting under another name
They might meet as a society for the improvement of Ireland.
Mr. PEEL said, that the words were sufficient to pre-
vent any meeting of the Association as such. If the
members of the Association met for any legitimate pur-
pose, for the improvement of Ireland, this Bill would not
touch them.

After some further conversation, the amendment was
withdrawn.

Lord NUGENT wished to know whether the two ma-
gistrates to whom an order was directed by the Lord Lieu-
tenant, to suppress a society, might not keep the order in
their pocket to use against any society of the 'came descrip-
tion, or whether they would only be emp.owered by that
order to act against a special meeting.
Mr. PEEL said, that that was entirely a question of
construction. A meeting against which an order was
directed might adjourn and.'nold its sittings in another place.
Mr. WALLACE wished that the terms of the Pruela-
mation had been cleAued by the Bill. It now rested with
the Lord Lientenaot to use what terms he chose, and if they
were too, general, they might put the Magistrates, who
might be intrusted with its execution, in a situation of
groat difficulty.
Mr. PEEL said, it was not contemplated that there
would be frequent occasion for putting in force the Dip,
and if the terms of the Proclamation were settkd and mi-
nute, they might be evaded.
After tome further conversation, the sithject was dropped.
Mr, A. DAWSON was afraid the Bill would go to the
oppression of Meetings which might be convened for a fair
nil proper object, such as a Meeting for the purpose of I'
rtitioning Parliana:At. There were, too, certain Meet-
ngs in Ireland, which he was afraid the Bill would not
apple to,—he meant moving processions, in which often.a
great deal of warm feeling, was elicited. ,
Mr. PEEL observed' that the Lord Lieutenant was re-
sponsible for the use of the powers intrusted to him ; and
as for the moving processions to which the lion. Gentks-
um had, alluded, the Lord Lieutenant had the power of
common law to put an end to theta if they te• tded. to a
breach of the peace.

lUr. PEEL. proposed to make an amendment in the
second clause, to make an amendment on purpose to meet
an objection made by an Hon. anA Learned Gent. on a for.
mer eVe6ing. The amendment be would propose would be,
not to limit the number 44 -3ilagistrates to whom the order
of the Lord Lieutenant was directed to two, but extend the
number to fen 0; eve, giving the jurisdiction with respect,
to the ounce to such magistrates as received the order, But
in crag the offenders fled, he would enact that any magis -
trate into whose jurisdiction the offenders fled, should take
cognizance of the matter.

Mr. E. DAVENPORT wisbe4 it to be enacted, t at the
Lori Lieutenant ehottld direct no order to a Inniqrate tvlza

bail bee ime a member within the last 12 maths of any
political club in Ireland.
Mr. B. CLARKE was afraid that there were very few
magistrates in Ireland who did not belong to one or other
of the dubs in Ireland.
After a few more observations, the clause was agreed to.
The committee then agreed to several other clauses, upon
each of which some conversation ensued with respect to
various verbal amendments, but nothing of the slightest im-
portance was suggested.
Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN objected to the clause
which imposed a penalty of 5001. on the receiver or
treasurer of any rent or subscription to be collected by
authority of any future association which might be declared
illegal under the provisions of this Bill. He thought it
an unnecessary penalty.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that the collection
of rent was so general that it would. in most cases he diffi-
cult to ;time at the subscribers ; so that the best way
would be to attach the money in the hands of the receiver
or treasurer. This was the most lenient way, and there
were many precedents for this course, and also for com-
pelling the receiver to declare the amount of subscriptions
in hand.
Mr. C. H. BATLEY 9,2 id, that the Bill would be in-
operative unless this clause were introduced.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed, that if gen-
tlemen thought that the compelling the receiver or
treasurer to declare the amount in hand, which suns would
be forfeited to the Crown, would be sufficient without (as
we understood the Learned Gentleman) inflicting the
penalty, he would be satisfied to leave it so. -
31r. TENNYSON remarked, that the compelling a
man to answer to the receipt of subscriptions fur which he
was to be find 500/. would be a temptation to perjury.
Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN also said, that lie would
be satisfied with the clause in the sense alluded to. The
Right Hon. Gentleman who introduced it had acted with
so much fairness and cindour throughout as to merit the full
confidence of the Uouse.
The clause with (ire well as we could collect) the
• of the penalty to the Treasurer was then agreed to.
Mr. R. GRANT asked whether it was intended that the
penal clauses relating to the contributions of money to the
Catholic Association should be perpetual?
Mr. PEEL replied, that the powers given by the Bill
weals; he extinguished at the specified time for its expi-

ration.
Mr. R. GRANT rejoined that the clauses he referred to
prohibited futtxre payments of money to the Catholic As-
sociation, which must be on the supposition that the Asso-
ciation should be revived ; and those clauses, thus relating
directly to the Association, seemed to him to be so far
made perpetual by the last clause of the Bill.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was understood to say
that such would undoubtedly be the effect of the Bill, and
(hat this was intended.
Sir G. PHILLIPS asked whether it was intended that-
all the enactments should be perpetual with respect to the
Catholic, and not to other Associations.
Mr. PEEL repeated, that the Act gave no extraordinary
powers to the Lord Lieutenant after the time when it was
to expire.
Lord NUGENT was afraid that, according to the word-
ing of the clause, it must be construed as to any future as-
sociations of Catholics, and to no othee.
Mr. TENNYSON said, that the powers of the Bill went
directly to the Catholic Association, but that after tim ex-
piration of the Act the powers of the Lord Lieutenant
would cease altogether as to all associations.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL repeated, that so far as
related to the Catholic Association, the enactments of the
per
present Bill would be petual.
Sir GEORGE PHILLIPS suggested, that to prevent
any mistake, it would be Letter to add in the Bill, that the
enactments should be perpetual ss as far as related to the
suppression' of the Association.'
Mr. DOHERTY said, that it was to dais and they were
made perpetual.
Sir GEORGE PHILLIPS said, that if future Catholic
Associations should be established, they would be equally
affected by the clauses of the present Bill.
Mr. TENNYSON observed, that they could not consi-
der future Catholic Associations in a Bill, the eery first
clause of which meant to put down that which aow
existed. As he understood it--after the expiration of this
Act—the Lord Lieutenant would heva no extraordinary
powers over any Association.
Sir GEORGE PHILLIPS was aware of the object of
this Bill—but there might be future Associations against
the Catholics after the present Association was put down,
and he thought the law ought to be tssede equally applicable

to all.
Mr. PEEL said, that when this Act expired all subjects
would st,rt on the same grounds. Any mew Associaticus
afterwards would be upon an equal footing.
Mr. A. DAWSON suggested that an'Aet which, like the
present, went to suspend some of the best privileges of
British subjects, ought not to be for more than one year.
If any danger should be found still to exist in the next Ses-
sion, the Act could be continued for another year.
Mr. PEEL said, that under the present circumstances of
the country, it would be impolitic to have it understood that
parties should have the power to renew their meetings at
the end of a year. The last act for the suppression of the
Association was (or two, years after the session of Parlia-
ment. For the sake of the due Administration of Justice
in Ireland, he thought it should be understand that the
suppression of the Association was to be perpetual,..-The
next clause was then agreed to.
Mr. A. DAWSON suggested, that in the preamble the
words " dangerous to the public tranquillity" might better
be omitted.
Color: SIBTHORPE asked how it could be considered
otherwise .? They had seen in a letter to the Association
from the great sgitator himself; written at Shrewsbury,
that he still recorrunenzied them to continue what he called
their Constitutional Association.
Mr. HUME asked the Gallant Officer what he meant by
Constitutional Association ? Every associatiort for te pur-
pose of complaining to the I.gislatare was meant h
to con
troul—to awe—(hear, and a laugh)—or at least to influ-
ence the proceedings of Parliament on some point.
Colonel SIBTHORPE drew a great distinction be-
tween such associations as the Hon. Member meant, and
those which he was glad to find had made their way into
that House,—he meant the Brunswick Assotiatinns.
Mr. PEEL said that the suggestion of the Hon. Mem-
ber to omit the words "dangerous to public tranquillity"
could not be listened to, for that was the very ground on
which its suppression went.
The preamble was then agreed to, and the House having
resumed, the report was received, and ordered to be taken
into further consideration on Monday.
Adjourned at a quarter to Nine to Monday.

British Constitution." now is this? Moderation from
Lord Winchilsea ! Who, after this, will.say Sir Anthony
Absolute preaching meekness is a caricature? Surely
his Lordship, too, is not looking out for a pretext
to make an inroad on our Protestant Constitution of
1688 ! Moderation amidst the degenerate Senators, who
are not undermining, but making an open breach in the
Constitution! Moderation towards Protestanticides !
Alas ! there is no truth, no honour in this world. Even
he who bid the sound of the voice of Protestantism echo
from hill to hill, and vale to vale, and who held up to the
Protestants of Great Britain the great body of their dege-
nerate Senators, as prepared to sacrifice at the shrine of
treason and rebellion that Constitution for which our an-
cestors so nobly fought and died—even he begins to throw
out hints as to dropping preconceived opinions. Another
ominous feature in the speech in question was the admis-
sion that "he did not know how strong the opposition
might be in the country to granting concessions to the Ca-
tholics ; it was plain that the Protestant power was di-
vided against itself, and was net able to snake those exer-
tions it was otherwise capable of." What ! not know
that the House of Commons does not speak the voice of
the people of England—that a hundred to one are against
concession ! To throw out doubts of the Protestant
strength at this conjuncture is to nerve the Popish arm !
No ! all " England is Protestant, save and except
the degenerate Senators and the Sovereign 1 If
the Protestants would • only unite, they would beat the
Papists. " The Noble Lords opposite would excuse him,
but lie thought the danger came from their opposi-
tion, which prevented any unity from existing among
Protestants. That opposition also prevented his Majesty's
servants from duly executing the law, and had laid the
grounds for different opinions in the country. He did not
say this as objecting to the opinions of the Noble Lords,
but the consequence has been such a division among Pro-
testants that they could not execute the decrees of Pro-
testant power. That was the present state of the case,
both in that House and the Country."
" Were they not forced with those that should be ours,
We might have met them dareful beard to beard,
And beat them backward home."

So his Lordship has made ut last the discovery, that if the
the Protestants were all agreed on excluding Papists, the Pa-
pists could not find their way into the Constitution ! Well,
now, this comes of reasoning! If on the first attempt at
reasoning he proceeds thus far, why may he not succeed
on his next attempt in discovering, that as the strength of
the Protestants dopends on their union, there would be a
much greater probability of their being united in resisting
unjust claims on the part of the Papists than just claims.
The Duke of Newcastle seemed determined last night to
acernplify the maxim of the Poet—that
" Great wit to madness nearly is allied ;"

for he passed to rapidly from raving to facetiousness, that
the abruptness of the transition might have surprised his
hearers, had he not on a former evening revealed to them
the manner in which his intellectual processes are con-
ducted. His Grace said, "he trusted the Noble Duke
himself would see the necessity of saving the country from
the diabolical consequences of the proposed measure."
This, delivered with corresponding energy of action, pre-
pared those who surrounded him fur some dreadful explo-
sion—but, With 4 Most winning look and corresponding
softness of voice, he immediately added, ",The Noble
Duke knew that it was le premier pas qui souse, and as
he was habituated to such things as turning, that he would
not be unwilling to turn.again. He had heard that one
good turn deserved another, and he hoped the Noble Duke
would confer a gieat benefit on the country by making one
turn more." The Duke was confounded—and well he
might. Who could withstand such a battery of wit? We
may observe, by the bye, that those who belong to the
West pf guglAtul seem to suppose the people in the East so
thoroughly ignorant of Western matters, that they may
safely indulge in the license pf early travellers. The Earl
of Falmouth told us on Thursday iaighr, that the in-
habitants of Devon and Cornwall were a hundred to
one against concession to the Catholics. The good
Bishop 4f 468t0l told us last night, that Bristol was the
second city of tlan kinzdom. What did his Lordship
mean by second—second in api wcond in population,
second in wealth, in manufactures and cornrneree ? The
last returns tell us that the population of Bristol was
81,779, that the population of Liverpool was 142,141,
Manchester 148,756, Birmingham 106,722, Halifax
112,628. If he mean trade, Pverpool pays ten times the
' duties of Bristol. Bristol has not kgpp pace with the
other great commercial towns; and, indeed, the West of
Engjsnd generally has not advanced with the rest of the
country. Aa to- Lord Falmouth's assertion, we have re-
ceived a letter front an intelligent correspondent belonging
to Cornwall, who states, that et) far from the assertion
being true, the Anti-Catholic paity tried to get up an
Anti-Catholic county meeting, but durst not venture on
ILA a paaatire, and were obliged to content themselves
with private rnzetinge, in places where they possessed in-
fluence.—Morning Chroack!

CARLISLE ELECTION,

(From the Carlisle Journal of This Day.)
We have had a bustling w. 14 preparing for our election..
Monday was appointed for the public entry of Sir William
Scott from Ancrum, and loud and boastful tees the lan-
guage held out by his partisans oil the style in which they
meant to get up the grand procession. A band of music
was engaged, two large crimson silk banners were prepared
see-bludgeon-men at ss. per day were engaged to defend the
colours, or kick up a row, as might best suit the purpose
of the day ;# another set of men were also engaged to draw
in the Hon. Baronet, These preparations looked for-
midable, and the Blues were much taunted by their oppo-
nents for not being able to produce 3 Kama.
About eleven o'clock the writ was read at the Cross by
the Town Clerk, eked the election proclaimed for Friday the
13th, at ten in the looming,
At two o'clock one of Sir William's banners, accompa-
nied by music, Sec., was carried to the guiWa, where it was
joined by ai* of the guild colours, and the procession ;again
returned to the Melt. In a short time afterwards,• all the
fighting men being pat ip truer, the whole of the banners
were brought from the Buell, !apt) paraded three times
reund the Cross and to the foot of Seoteheetreet, the band
playing $Jr James Lowther's favourite election tone, "Up
and war them a' Willie." The reception which.this pee,
cession met daunted the leadas: at every turn it was met
by loud shouts of "Blue Coe ever," accompanied by demon-
sera ions of an unequivocal kind, to take the colours from
the paity if they persisted in their avoweriinteption of draw-
ing in Sir William, A scout was sent off to appriae Sir
William of the state ,of Affairs; and about five o'clock he

We happened to be close to the carriage, and heard dip-
tinctly every word Sir William uttered. The passages
marked in Italics were not spoken. The "cheers," " ap-
lause," &c. are inserted for ornament. There was a good
deal of confusion and shouting ; but it was nut in approba
tion of what was said—for this very simple reason, that
not more than half a dozen persons heard the speech. The
oration had evidently been prepared to let off, after a draw
iu : for, as the thing stood, the talk about " kind re-
ception" was mete fudge. There was certainly a crowd of
people, but ;Or what purpose assembled Sir William could
not know. Indeed, it is hinted that the " speech" was
in type bef►re it was spoken. The same evening an Ad-
dress was issued by Sir William Scott and a pretty large
party dined with Sir William, at the Bush.
The same evening there was a meeting of the principal
Blue freemen, at which it was resolved to oppose Sir Win.
Scott. On Tuesday a requisition was numerously signed
by the Freemen, and forwarded to Henry A. Aglionby, Esq.
of Newbiggin Hall, soliciting to offer himself for the re-
presentation of the City. Mr. Aglionby was understood
to be in London, and thither the requisition was sent.
The following band-bill was circulated in the course of
the day.

"Mr. Aglionby will arrive in Carlisle on Saturday morn-
ing ; Major Aglionby of Nunnery, will be on the Hustings

On Wednesday evening there was another meeting of
the freemen at the Coffee House ; Thomas Halton, Esq. in
the Chair. Mr. Pearson stated that he had received a let-
ter (which he read) from Mr. Aglionby, in which that gen-
tleman pledged himself to come forward in defence of the
good 01 Blue eause,whenevor the freemen should deem his
services worthy of acceptance. Mr. Pearson also stated
that Major Aglionby, of Nunnery, the highly-respected
Chairman of the. Quarter Sessions, a gentleman respected
and esteemed by all parties, had written to say that he
would b 0 ip f artiste en Friday morning to receive any
votes that night he tendered for his relative, until he ar-
rived in person.-=4Applause.)
Mr. DOBINSON was glad to see so numerous and highly
repectable a meeting ; it proved to him that tke freemen
of Carlisle were still maintaining those principles of inde-
pendence for whirl they had long been celebrated, They
had all beard a great deal about Sir William Scott; but no
one seemed yet to know who he was or what were his po-
litical principles. There were many questions of mighty
import to the country now agitating men's minds, but how
Sir William would act in respect"to them, he had not con-
descended to explain. The fact Was, the Hon. Baronet
had come forward under very suspicious circumstances ;
if elected he would most assuredly prove to be the tenth pin
of the great northern Boroughmonger. (Cheers,) Sir
William, in fact, was not a fit representative of Carlisle
(Applause) ; and he trusted the freemen would show that
they were determined that the cause of independence should
not expire with the expiring breath of Mr. Curwen, who
had dose so much for it. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Aglionby
was a gentleman well qualified to represent Carlisle. He
was a native of the county, our near neighbour, and well
knew the feelings and wants of the freemen ; he hoped lie
would meet with that support he so well merited. They
should now join heart and hand, and though the time for
exertion was short, show by their conduct they were
worthy of the title of freemen. Ile had no doubt of
success ; and was sure, if they put their shoulders fairly to
the wheel, that Sir Wm, Scott would speedily be put to
flight.—(Cheers.)--,-Mr. Dohinson concluded by proposing
as a resolution, " That this meeting do approve of Mr.
Agliduby's spirited conduct; that he be nominated on
Friday, and supported by every possible exertion." The
resolution was received with loud cheering.
Mr. Jou BLAMIRK had bad no previous understanding
with Mr. Dobinson ; but he most cordially approved of all
he bad said. Sir William Scott's principles were not
known. In the addresses he had put forth he said no-
thine of Catholic Emancipation„ and we might, therefore,
fairly presume he would he 43 opponent; lie said nothing
about Parliamentary Reform-. 4 question of vital import-
ance, and one to which he (Mr. B.) had been warmly at-
tached every since lie knew any thing of politics. The
4aFoßgt was equally silent about the Corn Laws, and
Negro Slavery ; and it would very soon be apparent that he
was neither more nor less than a supporter of Lowther
politics and influence.—(Applause.)
Mr. PEARSON then moved the thanks of the meeting to
Mr, flatten; he had no doubt whatever of the; success of
Mr. Aglionby.
On Thursday morning, at an early hour, intelligence
was received that Mr. Aglionby had arrived that morning
by the Mail from London; and was at Newbiggin Hall.
Soon after ten o'clock a deputation from tile freemen, eon-
:listing of Mr. Dobinson, Mr. J. Blamire, Mr. T. Haltom,
Mr. Pearson, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Bendle, Mr. A. Elliott,
and some other freemen, set off in a couple of carriages,
and on horse back, to meet Mr. Aglionby. They were
accompanied a short distance from the coffee-house by a
kind of music, and were'hiudly cheered as they set off, by
a large concourse of people who had assembled in the streets.
The blue !jags, accompanied by a band of music, after-
wards paraded the htregts, and all seemed bustle and ani-
itlation for a time. At nooq the following spirited address
was issued ;.-,,,

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 14, 1829.

In the House of Lords last night a debate of
much animation took place on the presentation of
the Penenden 'Heath Petition. Earl WINCIIELSEA
introduced the subject by a speech, in which he
took an early opportunity of praising his own sin-
gular
meekness, and contrasting his consistency with
the general , tergiversation of Ministers. The con-
trast is certainly striking, if only from its surpassing
absurdity. Earl WINCHELSEA v. Duke of WEL-
LINGTON Splendid and unprecedented juxta-posi-
timi ! How greatly does it derogate from the high
character of the hero of Waterloo I How do the
campaigns in the Peninsula shrink into nothing-
ness before those on Penenden Heath ! Then
for consistency—what recantation of opinion,
made for the mere purpose of advancing the
social interests of the community, can be compared
for an instant to that glorious perseverance in a bad
cause—that high-minded, patriotic obstinacy, which,
sooner than bow to the exigencies of the State,
adapt itself.to the changed complexion of the times,
or abate one jot of its peculiar pretensions, would
see the Constitution shaken to the centre, and
tumbling into ruins around it ? Assuredly my Lord
WINCHELSEA is the very incarnation of consistency,
and in accordance with his own directions, should
have his praises " echoed from hill to hill, and from
vale to vale," from Greenwich to Woolwich, and
from Woolwich to Penenden Heath, till the whole
county of Kent rung aloud with the flattering re-
verberations.

But in our praise of tl►is eminent Senator, we
must not forget that equally enlightened Peer, the
Duke of NEWCASTLE. if on a former occasion
we felt ourselves called on to do justice to his
Grace's Ciceroniau Epistle to Lord KENYON,
we now feel it no less our duty to pay a tribute
of admiration to his wit. His Grace then, be it
known, was last night delivered of a very singular
production, being no less than a pun upon the Duke
of WELLINGTON'S tergiversation. We were partly
prepared for this joke, by observing the unusual gra-
vity of the House both before and at the period of
its delivery, but had no conception that it would
have proved so indescribably pungent. Genius,
however, like most other things, is hereditary, and
the dazzling facetiousness of his Grace's well-known
opestor, satisfactorily accounts for. his own posses-
sion of such a quality. •

With regard to the reply of those 'f degenerate
senators" Earls DARNLEY and GREY, having already
exhausted the language of panegyric in our notice
of Lords WINCIIELSEA and NEWCASTLE, we have
merely to add, that the speeches of both.abounded
in point ; that Lord DARNLEY distinguished himself
by the force and tempered dignity of his remarks,
and Earl GREY, by a severe and attic eloquence
worthy of the best days of English oratory.
in the Lower House Mr. PEEL
presented an
Anti-Catholic petition from Oxford,
which, as the
Right. lion, Gentleman observed, was characterised
by an unusual display of zeal. Wo regret

this seal the more, from the circumstance of
its flowing from what should rather be the
pure fountain-head of liberality, than the corrupt
Avernus of intolerance. We fear that Oxford, not-
withstanding " The Triumph of Isis," fully justifies
MASON'S well known condemnation, and is yet
many centuries behind Cambridge in all that adorns,
and strengthens, and matures the mind.

The French Papers scarcely contain a paragraph
worth extracting. TAuIR PACHA, who commanded
the division of the Turkish fleet in the Strait of
Constantinople, has been superseded for murmuring
at the elevation of PAPUDSCHI MAHOMET to the
dignity of CAPITAN PACHA—a post to which . he
aspired himself. The SULTAN has turned his mind
to pleasure, as a restorative from the fatigues of war-
like preparations; be now enjoys the chace, a diver-
sion to which he was formerly very partial.
Nothing of importance has yet taken place in the
French Chambers. The Ministers are expected to
present a project of law on the Book Trade, and
another on duelling.
It is affirmed, that two motions to resume the im-
peachment of the Ministers, have been made in the
Chamber, by Messrs. LABBEY DE POMPIERE, and
EUSEBE DE SALVERTE. They will be developed in a
Secret Committee.

German Papers have been received this morning.
The following extract throws a new and a curious
light upon the character of the SULTAN, who seem
to show a natural predilection for fighting men :--
CONSTANTINOPLII, lAN. 10.
The Divan has met several times this week to deliberate upon
the communications received from France. No resolution seems
to have been yet taken, and it is still uncertain whether M. Jau-
bert will be more successful than his predecessors. The magnet,
in which he has been received by the Reis Effendi has, how.
ever, induced the most distinguished Diplomatists to hope that
the Porte will no longer dwell on secondary circumstances, but
be willing to come to an agreement. It is said there is to be a
grand assembly of the Divan on the 12th, in which the question
will be decided. It is certain that the Ministers desire the re-
turn of the English and French Ambassadors, and that they are
glad to see M. Jaubert here, who seems to treat directly with
the Reis Effendi, is evident from the manner in which he is
treated. But it is doubtful whether the Sultan himself at-
taches so much value to the diplomatic relations with
the Christian Powers. He is said to act on the principle that
Europe has need of him, not he of Europe ; he accordingly pays
little regard to foreign affars, unless they force themselves on his
attention, and the friendship which he showed towards Count
Guilleminot was founded, not on his character as Ambassador
of France, but on his reputation as a distinguished General.
Only soldiers make their fortune with him; and a General who
should appear before him with a splendid military reputation,
would be more readily listened to than the ablest negociator. If
Count Guilleminot alone had been entrusted with the interven-

he would hardly have left Constantinople. Even the much-
dreaded Admiral Codringtou would be more likely to induce the
Sultan to yield than his while Ministry. Even if the Divan
should -decide, on the expected sitting, that the proposals of
England and France may be accepted, this alone would not bring
about the desired result, as the bultan may very possibly declare
against the resolutions of the Divan.

It will be seen by an account in another part of
The Sun, that Sir WILLIAM SCOTT is not likely to
walk over the course at the Election for the City of
Carlisle, as he had erroneously anticipated. The
liberal portion of the independent Electors of Car-

lisle have nominated H. A. AGLIONBY, Esq., of
Newbiggen Hall, to oppose Sir WILLIAM. Mr.
AGLIONBY is a Barrister of considerable talent, and
is strongly recommended to the Freemen, by the fact
of his being not only a native of the county which his
ancestors have repeatedly represented in Parliament,
but a Gentleman of the purest intentions, and
the most independent principles. As such we ap-
peal to the freemen of Carlisle, resident in London,
to support the cause of independence by once more
returning a Member worthy to be the successor of
Sir J. GRAHAM. Sir WILLIAM SCOTT has no
chance.

By an Advertisement inserted in our Paper of to-
day, it will be seen that the Colosseum still keeps
up its attraction, which is now greatly heightened
by the circumstance of the building, conservatories,
&c. being comfortably warmed throvhout. Indeed,
of all the inventions ever yet exhibited, or exhibit-
ing in England—we may also, we believe, venture
to add, Europe—none ever yet equalled this magni-
ficent and unrivalled undertaking, which for magni-
tude, variety, elegance, and splendour, exceeds all
that the wildest fancy could conceive. When com-
pleted, it will be a triumph worthy of English en-
terprise.

THE SUN.—Another of those extraordinary
efforts of dispatch, for which The Sun Newspaper is parti-
cularly notorious, was manifested on the opening of the
present Session of Parliament, It signifies nothing whe-
ther the Journal alluded to be liberal or illiberal, Whig or
tory, the merit of being the first to communicate whatever
is
of national importance, is to us the same, and we have
the most pleasurable sensation in stating the fact, that
though the London Mail had been despatched full two
hours front the General Post Office, we received a copy of
that Paper at the usual hour from our own Post office,
containing the whole of the previous night's debate, a cir-
cumstance peculiar to The Sun only, Although being

ourselves of its early information lint for the interference of

LONDON AND WESTMINSTER PROnS-
TANT MEETING.

A public Meeting was held this day at the Crown and
Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of petitioning both
Houses of Parliament against granting any further conces-
sions to the Roman Catholics. The meeting was nume-
rously attended. Shortly after one o'clock there were loud
cries of " Hunt, you take the chair, you will do." (A laugh.)
Mr. Hut/I.—Gentlemen, I should like to know if any
one can inform me, whether we are likely to have a Chair-
man or not.

Several voices—.oh, you may be sure we shall, but you
will do Hunt.—(Tremendous applause and hisssing, with
continued shouts of Hunt take the chair,) during which
Mr. Halcomb and several other gentlemen entered the
room ; the noise here became deafening. After silence
could be in some measure obtained,

Mr. liaLcoma rose—Gentlemen, I propose that Mr.
Pownell take the Chair.=(Loud cries of who is Mr.
Pownell, no one knows him.)

Mr. HALCOMB—Gentlemen, Mr. Pownell is a gentle-
man, and—(Loud laughter).
Order having been in some measure restored,
The CHAIRMAN addressed the Meeting-r-Gentlemen.
you are met here to support our glorious Constitution—
(Loud cries of " Who is speaking? We don't know him.
The Constitution is not in danger !" Hisses and applause.)
—and it was only now and then that we could catch a sen-
tence ; when we were so fortunate, the lion. Gentleman
appeared to be labouring hard (in the usual hacknied strain)
to convince the Meeting of the dreadful result that would
assuredly happen, if Papists were admitted into Parliament,
and the necessity of all true Protestants to meet and let the
Legislature know their opinions on this great subject, ere it
was too late. They were now met for to present an address
to the King,—(a voice, " I hope the King is well, loir)—
(great laughter),—and to petition both Homes of Parlia-
ment ; let them be such petitions that would reflect
honour upon the Protestants of the metropolis. He could
assure the meeting he was unwilling to fill the chair—
(we have no doubt of it),—but the gentlemen who called
the meeting thought it would not be advisable to ask
any Nobleman or Member of the Legislature to preside,
it was for them to legislate, and for the Meeting to express
their opinion on this great subject, and make it known to
them ; it did not signify who filled the Chair, so long as
he had a Protestant heart.—(Great laughter.)—The Se-
cretary would read the advertisement calling the meeting.
which being done,
Mr. HALCOMB rose to move the first Resolution, it was
as follows That it is the opinion of this Meeting that
the Protestant Constitution of the United Kingdom
ill in imminent danger. "—( The confusion here be-
came tremendous, and loud cries of " No, no, it
is not, and yes it is, " resounded from some
parts of the room.)—Mr. Holcomb continued—Gentle-
men, may I request your attention, I am labouring under
severe indisposition, and if you will but keep silence, I
need not exert myself so much.—(Never mind, speak up
my buck.)—l am glad to see this crowded meeting, it
looks as if the people were not indifferent to the great
question that now agitates the country ; they were not
indifferent to the blessings of our holy religion.
(A voice, " Ah, let us have no Popery in England.")—
Mr. Halcomb continued—l hope that is the sentiment of
all present. I can assure the Meeting, that although there
is no Nobleman or Member of Parliament present, they
had the good wishes of several of the most distinguished of
them. Gentlemen, let us make known to the Legislature
our opinion, and if possible prevent a calamity which would
end in bloodshed.—(A voice, " Oh, that is all humbug.").
Mr. H.—l will refer you to the history of former times ;
I would allow the Roman Catholics to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of their conscience, but nothing
more ; the greatest respect, however, was due to his Ma-
jesty's Ministers—l mean up to the present time—(great
laughing)—great respect was due to Mr. Peel, but still
greater respect was due to that venerable champion of the
Constitution, the late Lord Eldon.—(Tremendous laugh-
ing and confusion, and cries of " How long has his Lord-
ship been dead ?")

Mr. HALcosiu-.-1 beg pardon; he is not dead.—(A
laugh.)
Mr. HALCOMB after a few other observations read the
resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Franks, and at
half-past three o'clock the meeting was in such a state of
uproar and confusion as to render it improbable that any
definite conclusion could be come to.
