NORWICH. Aug. 8.

We bad a fair supply of Wheat to-day, and the weather
being very fine for harvest, prices have given way Is. t,
2s. per quarter. There is very little doing in any other
kind of Grain, and prices are nominally the same. Nt,
alteration in Flour. Our harvest has generally com-
menced, but no Grain yet secured : the general opinion
is that the quality will be good, (should the weather con-
tinue fine), and the crops of Wheat and Barley about an
average.

IRISH CORPORATIONS.

The Cork Southern Reporter of Tuesday
an interesting account of the admission (for the fie
time) of Roman Catholics to the freedom of the
Corporation of Youghal, on the preceding day.'
The liberal example had been set a week or tw3
before, by the Common Council of Waterford,
it will be followed, in all probability, by every cor
porate body in Ireland which has claims to Public
confidence and respectability.
On Monday an especial Court of D'Oyer 11111.1:
dred was held in Youghal, to abolish the long-eln
ing by-laws against the admission of Roman yet/re
tholicsto the corporate honours of the town. 1"

proposition came from
The MAYOR (Nicholas Giles, Esq.), who rosetind
said, now that the Legislature had seen in its oritv
doin the expediency of removing those disqualifying
laws which had for so long a period affected his Ws.
jesty's Roman Catholic subjects, thus placing til3°,
one general political footing the members of eirevo
church, he should have the honour of proposiag I
the ancient and loyal corporation of Youghal a lir
solution, which, on the part of that body, would
g°
the length of responding to the wishes of the
vernment—namely, that the numerous disqualifyinge
laws which had existed against the admiision of o°6
professing the Roman Catholic faith into the en
~r
poration of Youghal, be repealed, and that they, '7
henceforth considered equally qualified for the Pril.#
lees of that corporation with Protestants. Thera;
fore, be it resolved (was his motion), that all th.
by-laws touching the Roman Catholics be abolished
—(Cheers.)
Alderman J. E. GREEN expressed his full coil:
rence in the proposition, and concluded by seco

ing it.
A good deal of discussion followed, in which till
motion received the cordial support of the principa•
members of the Corporation, and was ultimatelf
carried by an overwhelming majority. Nue Rom
Catholic gentlemen were immediately proposed
admitted as freemen at large, as well as one or tw°,
Quakers. The Cork Paper adds, that " When
was generally known that the measure was carved'

THE CHRISTIAN CORRECTOR, pub-
fished Monthly, price 6d., has made an appalling
disclosure of the depravity of the Students in the Dissen-
ters' Academies; and is the publication which Mr.
Thomas Wilson, in conjunction with Mr. Bourne of the
" World" Newspaper, designated, without naming it, " a
vile publication," at a late meeting of the Subscribers to
Wilson's College. But let all who have a particle of re-
gard for the honour of the Christian profession read the
CORRECTOR, as also the Editor's " Strictures on the
Ordination Sermon at Albion Chapel, and the revelling
Tavern Dinner of 200 Ministers and others, by which the
solemnities of the day were concluded," price 2d. ; and
" The present awful state of the Churches distinctly fore-
told in the Epistles, or Paul contrasted with Ecclesiastics
and Dissenting Ministers," price 6d. ; and they will under-
stand why none of the religious Press, nor any of the Mi-
nisters, will venture to notice these works. Silence is the
order of the day amongst these professed but unfaithful
friends of Christ; it is the strong battery behind which
they " meanly shield themselves."

and the country Inlrkets all being reported lower for
Wheat, there has been a very limited demand here this

MARYLEBONE.

On Friday night Lydia Davis, who is the wife of
Dowager Lady Elcho's coachman, and who at this time
has the care of her Ladyship's town house, made com-
plaint before Mr. WosKaNs that she had been defrauded.
About I I o'clock that morning, a short man, 30 or 32
years of age, with a dark complexion, and dressed in a vel-
veteen jacket, brought a small parcel, directed " To Lady
Elcho, Bryanston-square, per mail, to be delivered imme-
diately : if not in town, to be forwarded," and demanded
6s. 44., the particulars of which were inserted in a printed
ticket, such as is sent from the Bull and Mouth Inn, in the
city :—carriage, 3s. 4d. ; out, Is. Bd. ; porterage, Is. 4d.
Mrs. Davis having no silver, and no one to send for change,
he told her if she would give him a sovereign, he would
run and get it, and leave his hat till he came hack ; she
gave him a sovereign, and he never returned ; and she asked
Mr. Hoskins whether it would be right to forward the
parcel to her ladyship's seat in Gloucestershire or not, and
what step she should take respecting the money.
The parcel was neatly tied up with red tape and brown
paper, and secured by two seals, bearing the crest a griffin,
and was heavy in proportion to its size, and Mr. Hoskins
having ascertained that lady Catherine Stewart, of York-
place, Portman:.sqnare, is lady Eteho's daughter, advised
Mrs Davis to take it to her and have it opened. Mrs.
Davis did so, and brought it to the office again on Saturday
to show its contents,..--3 piece of decayed floor-cloth and a
ragged waistcoat, in a most filthy state. She also brought
the fellow's bat, which has written in it " Samuel Leeds,
Brandiston, Norfolk," and told the Magistrate he had ob-
tained ss. 24. for another parcel on the same morning, at
the house of Mr. Drummond, the banker, No. 2, Bryanston-
squire, which, being sent off to him in the country, would
cost him 4s. more. _ _ _

Mr. Hosimcs ordered inquiry to be made at the Bull-
and-Mouth Inn, and every means to be used to apprehend
the offender.

Mr Lancefield, proprietor of a, Clapham stage coach,
Avis fined 50s. for not haying the number of passengers
painted on his coach in a different-colonred paint than the
ground ; Messrs. Phillpott, proprietors of a Battersea
coach, were fined 50s. for carrying more passengers than
expressed in their licence ; and Mr. Dixon, proprietor of
a Henley stage-coach, was fined in a similar penalty.

BATH PETITIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—As the opponents of Civil and Religious Liberty
appear to build their strongest argument upon the assumed
fact of a majority of the people of this country being op-
posed to any further concession to their Roman Catholic
brethren, it becomes of importance, and more particularly
at this time, that the friends of the " good cause" should
expose the fallacy of that position; and my object, in trou-
bling you with this, is to refute it as far as the city of Bath
ii concerned.

It appears, Mr. Editor, that four or five petitions
against concession have been presented from the parishes
in this city, whence it might with reason be inferred, by a
stranger, that the city of Bath is opposed to that liberal
and enlightened policy which his Majesty's Ministers live
adopted with respect to his Roman Catholic subjects. But,
Sir, as a long resident in this city, I assert the contrary to
lie the fact, and the following statement of how these peti-
tions were got up, I think goes far to prove my assertion.
Snug Vestry Meetings were called at each church at which
the petitions were, as a matter olcourse, adopted ; imme-
diately after which hundreds of bills were placarded in all
parts of the city, informing the inhabitants that such peti-
tions were lying for signature in the Vestry Boom of each
parish. Now, Mr. Editor, notwithstanding these peti-
tions lay for signature at four or five differeot parts of the
city, and notwithstanding all the public notices of the fact,
and all the clerical influence that could be exerted for a
period(, of

At any time less important than the present, Mr. Edi-

the city of Bath from die stigma of Bigotry and Intoler-

THE KING'S THEATRE.

L'ltaliana in. Algieri was representerl at this Theatre
for the second. time on Saturday night, and was received
with the same applause as on the former occasion. Madame
PtsaliONl and DONZELLI are the main props of the piece,
and are fast gaining on the good will of the public, as in ad-
dition to natural ability, they have every appearance of
assiduously studying their parts.

OLD BAILEY, FEB. 21.

T. IV. Brewer, aged 29, was put to the bar, and
arraigned under an indictment with having unlawfully
sent a letter to Mr. J. Finch, solicitor, 31, Dean-
street, accusing him of a crime, for the purpose of
extorting money.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Learned SERGEANT, then, in a very impres-
sive manner, addressed the prisoner upon the error-
miry of his crime. It was a system carried on that
must be put a stop to, acrd called for a severe-sen-
tence, and that sentence was, that the prisoner be
transported for the term of his natural life.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

On Saturday Charles Radius, the German scholar and
artist, who was fully committed from this office on Wed-
nesday last for robbing Lady Laura Meyrick of her reticule,
as she was coming out of the Opera-house on Tuesday
night, was brought up for further examination, in conse-
quedce of a number of various articles of property having
been found at his lodgings, which it is strongly suspected
be had stolen.
Edward Handley, the officer, stated that he bad not yet
discovered any owners for the property, which he found at
the prisoner's lodgings, No. 10, Charlotte•street, Port-
land-place ; but he bad no doubt be should be able in the
course of a few days. The reticule belonging to Lady
Meyrick had, since the prisoner's committal, heen found
behind one of the doors of the Opera-house, the strings
of which had been cut. He had also found at the pri-
soner's lodgings a silk reticule of Chinesee, manufacture, and
a pair of silver gilt spectacles.
Mr. MARRIOTT ordered the prisoner to he again re-
manded, to give time for any owners to come forward and
claim the property.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

The following event, which occurred in the neigh-,
bourbood of Chesham some weeks ago, has much
agitated the public mind, and continues to be the
subject of conversation in that neibhhourhood:--Ed-
ward Hitchcock, a phut-dyer and glazier, living near
Chesham, on the nth of January took his gt:n and
went from home ; he was seen shortly after to enter
a wood, called Coppice Wood, in tompany with a
ma.) of the name of Wm Hobbs, a labourer; of
whose character, little of good can be spike!). In
a cr.),trter of an hour the report of a gun was heard,
and presently Hobbs came out of the wood ; and as
Ise was going away from it was met by Hitchcock's
wife arid a gentleman of Chesham, whom business
with Hitchcock had caused to go to his house.
Hitchcock impaired of him where her husband
was ? To which he replied," I don't know, I ha'nt
seen him these two hours," and seemed agitated, Tyco
slays elapsed, and Hitelico:k did net come home,
when a search was directly natdt for him in Coppice
Wood, and he was there found under a tree near
the skirts of the read, lying on his side, with his
hat at his feet, and his gun under his arm, while the
ground where his legs and feet lay wete furrowed
by the struggles which he had most probably made
when in the agonies of death. On a close exami-
nation, it appeared that his death had been caused
by r. gnn-shot wound, the whole charge having made
but one perforation, entering at his left cheek, and
coming out as his back. An i►inquest was held
before Mr. Cheareley, when Hobbs stated, that im-
mediately be got into Coppice Wood with the de-
teased, he separated from him and went to Manila's
Wood for a bundle of sticks, and did not see him
after. The Jury being impressed that Hitchcock had
destroyed i.unself in consequence of the deranged state
Hof his affairs, returned a verdict to that effect, with
the addition, " that the act was committed whilst
Ire was ender the influence of insanity." This ver-
dict, however, became much talked of, and a day or
two after, Hobbs was in a public-house, when a per-
van told him that he must have shot the deceased,
and that he had perhaps done it when carrying the
gun on his shoulder, with the muzzle towards him,

Hobbs acknowledged that he had shot Hitchcock in
the manner suggested. A second inquest was then
held on the 12th January, when he made a second
deposition to this effect, and a verdict was then re-
turned, " That Hitchcock was accidentally shot by
William Hobbs." Thus matters st-►nd at present,
but the public mind in that neighbourhood is far
from being satisfied with this result, and it is the
opinion of nine out of ten that the truth has not
yet transpired ; and that a further and most serious
inquiry is requirel. Windsor Express.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

LIBEL.—DANCE V. ROBERTSON AND ANOTHER.
Mr. TALFOURD opened the pleadings, and Aft'
BROUGHAM stated that this was an action by the
plaintiff, Mr. Dance, provisional assignee of the 16;
solvent Debtors' Court, against the publisher and
proprietor of the Morning Herald, for a libel pub'
fished in that paper on the 24th of September lass/
reflecting on the plaintiff's conduct. The de'
Pendant had pleaded a justification. The latter 110
been in the situation which he holds for the last tell
years, and all persons, whether they had been
before him as opposing an insolvent, or in that ow
fortunate situation themselves, would bear testicnoni
to the arduous and laborious manner in which he
bad constantly performed his duty. The libel I°
question was one of the worst kind, as it tended to
destroy the confidence which the Court and the
public had reposed in him, and to represent him 94
incapable of filling his situation.

LISBON PAPERS.

LISBON, FEB. 13.—His Majesty has been pleased tc—day
to give a public audience in the palace of Bemposta to a
great number of persons. Ilia Majesty happily experiences
a progressive improvement in hie health, and paying un-
wearied attention to the petitions of his faithful subjects,
receives tlietn all with the paternal regard of a monarch,
time faithful imitator of the virtues of his ancestors, and
under whose auspicious government the Portuguese nation
enjoys tranquillity and happiness.
On the 11 th inst. at eleven in the morning, a person
in the street Embaisaticr, in Bdcm, firing a pistol, it hap-
pened that at that moment a guard of the Ist Regiment
passing, the ball wounded one of the soldiers in the arm ;
fortunately the wound was slight. We relate this fact
simply as it passed, and long to see how it will be paintel
by those who are charged with the lying correspondence,
and how it will appear dressed up in the radical journals
of London.—Lisbon Gazette of Feb. 14, inclusive.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

On Saturday Tom Cannon, the landlord of the Castle,
in Jermyn-street, was summoned by a man named Jones,
for allowing the game of whist to be played at his house.
Jones, who is a footman out of place, said that the cards
were supplied by Cannon, who was a partner in the game,
and that he (Jones) lost five sovereigns. Cannon, wins
laboured under an attack of the gout, denied that he had
supplied the cards, or played with the complainant, and
called some witnesses, who proved having seen the com-
plainant take the cards out of his pocket. The magistrates,
however, fined Cannon 41.

THE THEATRE, DUBLIN.

On Saturday evening one of the most crowded and fa-
shionable audiences of the season was assembled, the per-
formanma being of the most attractive nature. The en-
tertainments of the evening commenced with Shakspeare's
beatitiful comedy of As You Like It; the tender and witty
Rosalind found an able representation in our ficverite.Mids
Foote. We have lately had occasion to notice the acting
of Miss Foote in this.- character, and we may with tc
aver, that it is one of the most correct and finished pc
formaoces ever witnessed on any stage. Miss Foote is .not
only the best Rosalind, but she is undoubtedly the first
actress of the present-day. If there be discrimination in.
a Dublin audience, (which we think will be admitted,) and
if the applause of an audience be any proof of a per-
former's ability, the enthusiastic plaudits which followed
every part of Miss Foote's • performance of Rosalind on
Saturday evening, is sufficient. to ahem we are not mitah
astray in our remarks. When Rosalind first appears in
male attire, the graceful and sylph-like form of Miss Foote
was truly bewitching, and the audience by one simulta-
neous burst of applause expressed their admiration.
Of Miss Foote's appearance in, this part we might truly
ssy— •
" Sure ne'er did Grecian chiiel trace
A nymph, a naiad, or a grace,
Of fairer form or lovelier face !
A foot more light, a step. more true,
:cdflyroemnclolerreda,iryantdread.
Ne'er from the heath-flower dash'd the dew :
E'en the slight hare-bell rears its head,
which was loudly spoke" the original Epilogue
Miss Foote sang most sweetly " the Cuckoo Song,"
with peculiar Piiint.

A new picee,- entitled The Two Friends, followed for
the first time there is much interest in it, and it was well
received.

The entertainments concluded with the farce of the Ren-
dezeoris,in which Mks Foote appeared again in the part of
Sophia. In tido:character she introduced a pretty dancing
song, called " Vice rAmour," which was' encored.

Last evening Miss Foote appeared in a new opera, called
The Nymph of the Grotto, which was well receiVed, and
announced forrepetition this night.

The farce of 'A Roland Jri an.,,.Oliver followed, in,
which Miss Foote sustained her favourite character, Maria
Darlington. His quite unnecessary for us to s iealz
Miss Foote's performance in this part—it is well 'Jimmy,
and universally admired. The " Waltzing Song" was
beautifully given; and loudly encored.—Dublin Evening

THE Public is respectfully informed that the
COLOSSEUM is now OPEN fir inspection for
a short period, previously to the entire completion of the
design. The works consist of the Painting of London—
a Saloon fur the reception of Works of Art and Literature—
an extensive range of Conservatories—some idea of the
Cascades and Rock Work, viewed from the Cottage, and a
Suite of Rooms for Annual Subscribers, comprising
Libraries, Reading Rooms, Refectories, &c.

valry is reduced to 500 or 600 men, whose only means of
subsistence is foraging, or, in other terms, plundering the
surrounding country. The inhabitants were occupied in
repairing the buildings and fortifications damaged by our
artillery. The garrison was in want of flour, which it
will he more difficult to procure, as the sudden rise of the
Danube has lately carried away almost all the water mills.
One of them has run aground near Tschernowody. We
have frequent communications with Lieutenant-General
Rudiger, who is at Bazard.lik ; and according to the most
accurate accounts from Pravady, Dealt°, and Ghebedsche,
every thing there was as well us could be wished. These
positions are important on account'of their strength, and
garrisoned by numerous troops. The enemy posted
_be-
hind the Balkan, at Aidos and Shumla, has not ventured
to make any attempt. There are not above 8,000 or
10,000 men in garrison at Shumla. Our troops on tie
right bank of the Danube are in general in want of no-
thing; the cold is: advantageous to their health. Our
communication with the left bank is only occasionally in-
terrupted, and we receive regular supplies of provisions."

OXFORD.

Oxford is a specimen of beautiful barbarism. No
more extensive and interesting assemblage of Gothic
architecture is any where to be found, and, if one
could be satisfied by dwelling upon what is old, re
nerable, and striking, it would not be easy to turn
away the eyes or the thoughts from the main street
of this extraordinary city. Yet a more attentive
observation would show that the spirit of Oxford is
about entemporaneous with its renowned edifices.
It would be easy to fancy—and there would be little
of fiction in the fancy—that the temper of the 15th
and 16th centuries still dwelt within these antique
walls; and true it is, that while education every
where else has been acted on by civilization, and
forced forward by " the march of mind," here, here
alone, the usages of ancient days have stagnated into
permanence, and the proceedings of the Convocation
are not very different from what they would have
been had" Reginald Pole, Cardinal and Archbishop
of Canterbury," still occupied the Chancellor's chair.
The same formalities—the same absurdities—the
same dull, dry, dead " letter of the law"—while the
fresh and vernal " spirit" of inquiry and instruction
scarcely ever intrudes upon the dormant, rosy-
cheeked, well-beneficed, and thoroughly satisfied
Magnates who wear the honours of this illustrious
place.
Let any man visit the great collections of litera-
ture here: the wonderful Bodle'a 1, for instance.
Ile will find it a vast solitude, with scarce an in-
truder. He will see there more librarians than stu-
dents, an innumerable quantity of books, and no
readers at all, unless now and then a wanderer stray
in, who wants to elucidate some point of history—to
examine some curious MS.—or to feed some other li-
terary desire. Into some of the departments no one
ever seems to penetrate. Who goes to learn maxims
of Government—to read Bentham or Montesquieu ?
—who to study philosophy in the writings of Vattel,
Melting, or Duponceau P—who to learn botany,
turning over the pages of De Condole, Jussien, or
Humboldt—history, from the modern historians--
from the impugners, the destroyers of the authority
of Mit fords and flumes P—Not a soul. On such
subjects there ure no examinations—for such ac-
quirements there are no honours ; but he is the
man of men who knows all the refinements of
and 7o:;,,the delicacies of et and que, and the
recondite mysteries of a and x, When the mind is
crammed with matters like these, education is said
to be completed. Of many other things there are
unhonoured Professors. Political economy has an
estimable one, whose published lectures do him high
honour ; there is a Botanical Professor, of whom 1
e,ei learn nothing ; a " Reader" on Mineralogy and
Cirtoiogy (11 Wish he had us many hearers 1,8 he de-

Sir,—ln answer to your circular, I beg to say that I
shall experience the greatest possible satisfaction in voting
for Mr. Peel, who, to my mind, has proved himself by his
late conduct more than ever worthy to be the representa-
tive of the noble University of Oxford—the eye and heart
of the Protestant world—on account of the splendid mani-
festation which be has made of the intrinsic integrity, im-
partiality, and disinterestedness of his character, and of his
will and his power to sacrifice every selfish and every per-
sonal consideration to the unbiassed exercise of his own
judgment, and the unreserved possession of his own con-
science ;—on account, also, of the larger views which he
has gained by dint of the most ardous, scrupulous, and
painful deliberation, by which means he has drawn nearer
to the standard of sound orthodoxy, and has drunk deeper
into the genuine aboriginal spirit of Protestantism and of
the Church of England ; which I apprehend to have been,
and to be, a spirit of reason, liberty, and truth, breathing
free thoughts, and by free means, which it recognizes as
the only means, wishing to communicate to others its own
tree things, but neither suffering nor employing force, as
utterly irreconeileable with conviction,—very different
from that narrow, uncandid, grudging, and oppressive
spirit, boasting itself of the very essence of Protestantism
and of the church, lint which I verily believe to be nothing
better—and to be, indeed, nothing more—than the old bad
spirit of Popery, under a new form, and to be itself A part
at least of that very anti-Christian abomination, against
which it so clamorously and desperately rails and roars.
I regard the •removal of these restrictions from the
Roman Church as the removal of her swathing-bands from
our own church, which she has continued to wear far be-
yond the age that required them, to the detriment both of
her health and her reputation, and released from which she
will begin rightly to feel, and to know, and to exert, and
maintain herself, and walking at large with an inde-
pendent step and an animated eye, and looking up trust-
ingly and cheerily to God her Lord, and ministering be-
fore him with her reasonable and comely service, and
cordially applying herself to her own proper business, will
soon taste a security, and win a popularity, and enjoy a
degree of spiritual prosperity, to which she has been too
long, and, alas! too deservedly a stranger. ,

I have the honour to be,
Sir, your very obedient humble servant,

Senior Clerical Fellow of Corpus Christ College.
