MEETING OF THE INHABITANTS OF

MARYLEBONE.

This day a Meeting was held at the Horse Ba-
zaar, Portman-square, for the purpose of adopting
such measures as might appear necessary to oppose
the compulsive bills of the Select Vestry, Spring
Rice, Esq., M. P., in the Chair.
The following distinguished individuals were present :

The following resolution was proposed' by Mr.
Tteadhgaut the inhabitants of Marylebone have lately
Montagu
the
select vestry in endeavouring to pass compulsive
bills for building a new rectory-house for the Ref.
Dr. Spry; for commuting the Easter-offerings into
Si perpetual tax ; for powers to build a new work-
house ; and taxing the parish with a sinking fund ;
and that the inhabitants of Marylebone protest,
against such an infringement of their lawful rights.'
THOMAS NIXON, Esq. in proposing the next reso-
lution, strongly condemned the innovations which
tile select vestry sought to introduce. This vestry
consisted of one hundred and twenty-three members;
33 only of these were present when they resolved
to impose additional burthens on the parishioners ;
and even of these thirty-five, twenty only voted for
the obnoxious measure. It was rather singular, also,
that the majority of fifteen, contained four or five
clergymen.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. SMITH, and
passed. It was to the effect that the Bills for ell"
forcing compulsory rates, instead of the voluntary:
contribution hitherto paid, as well as the profit o•
taxing the parishioners for the purpose of building
a rectory-house, were uncalled and unnecessary.
Several other Resolutions breathing the same
spirit, and recommending the adoption of the strictest
economy in the management of the parochial affairs
were also agreed to.

BRITISH CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.

An open meeting of the British Catholic Asso-
ciation was holden yesterday, at their rooms, in
Thorney-street, Bloomsbury. On the motion of
Mr. Charles Butler, Mr. WHEBLE was unanimously
called to the chair.

The Secretary, Mr. BLOUNT, then addressiml the
meeting, and said, there were only two points upon
which he should trouble them with any observations.
The first was the alterations which had recently
taken place in the Ministry. In reference to this he
should only observe, that, whatever hopes the Ca-
tholics may entertain horn what had occurred, he
thought it would be the more prudent course to ab-
stain from any public expression of their sentiments
at the present moment. The result of the ministe-
rial changes, which were nowin progress, would ma-
terially affect their method of proceeding, and he
would, therefore, recommend that they await the
tauTirpoii

had been the subject of so much conversation
everywhere else, that he thought it would be
right in them to notice it. He alluded to the pro-
gress of what was called the reformation in Ireland.
He thought that before the Protestants called upon
the Catholics to argue the question of superiority of
faith, they should put the Catholics on a level with
themselves, by repealing the penal code. If the re-
cult of these conversions, as they were called, had
been a superior degree of virtue and morality in the
converts, he thought that the zealots who were en-
gaged in this work would have had cause to congra-
tulate themselves on the effect which they had pro-
duced. But under the actual circumstances of the
case, and which were notorious to the world, he re-
garded the whole proceeding as a political trick.
The Learned Gentleman here read an extract from
an English provincial paper, which stated, that the
reformation was advancing into England, and gave
an account or tie renunciation of the Roman Ca-
tholic religion by a man who resided at Preston.
The newspaper concluded the account of the trans-
action by stating " for the gratification of the con-
vert's friends, that it had been determined in some
way, or other to provide for him."
The SECRETARY then read the minutes of pro-
ceedings since the last meeting, and a report of the
Defence Committee, which recommended the collec-
tion of a subscription in the Roman Catholic chapels,
to defray the expense of circulating various tracts
and docunienti amongst the people of England.
It was then resolved, after some discussion, in
which Mr. Rosson, Sir John Burke, Mr. Blount,
and Mr. IVl'Donnell took a part, to adjourn till
Monday next.

FRENCH COURT NEWS.

PARIS, APRIL 23.—The evening party, which
took place yesterday in the King's apartments, was
attended by upwards of 1,200 of the most distin-
guished individuals in society. Their Royal High-
nesses she Duke, Duchess, and Mademoiselle d'Or-
leans, and the Duke de Chartres, were present.
Immediately after his entry, his Majesty traversed
the different saloons, and addressed many individuals
in the most affable and gracious manner.
The Dauphin, the Dauphiness, and the Duchess
of Berry, have likewise displayed that extreme con-
descension which ever accompanies the deportment
of the B9urbons. The King proceeded at last to
the gallery of Diana, where a score of card tables
had been prepared, and were early occupied by
Ladies and high Dignitaries. His Majesty returned
into the saloon of his Cabinet, to take a hand at
NI hist, and had for' his partners the Prince of Castel-
cicala, the Neapolitan Ambassador, Baron Uchtretz,
the Minister Plenipotentiary of Saxony, and the
Viscountess de Vaudrcuil, a lady in attendance on
the person of the Dauphiness.
The Ministers retired about half-past nine. Their
Eminences the Cardinals Duke de la Fare, and
Prince de Croi, stayed much later. The Grand
Officers of the King's Household, the Prince Tal-
loyrand, and others, followed the King at his derm-
ture:which took place about eleven o'clock. Amongst
the Peers of France invited to the King's party,
were the Chancellor, the Marquis de Semonville, and
Viscount Chateaubriand. Amongst the Deputies,
were Messrs. Raves, Cassimer Perrier, de Lezar-
dine, de Beaumont, de Romans, Benjamin Constant,
de la Bourdonnaye, Royer Collord, Ducasse, de
Borgius, Randot, and Daiguillon. The soiree broke
up at half-past eleven o'clock.

what similar purpose, and had proceed to Portsmouth.—
We have no intention to offer our opinion on the merits of
those new ships, at this earl• stage of their trial ; but the
returning to port already of three of them, cannot be ex-
tremely grateful to their projectors.

tine packet.--Plymouth Journal.

Tut LATE FIRE.—Our readers may recol-
1' lect that in naming those who suffered by the
late fire, we alluded particularly to Mr. Robins,
the proprietor of the London and Dublin Ma-
gazine. This gentleman's case is one of pecu-
liar hardship ; it appears that from the fire his
concern sustained no injury whatever. His loss
arose entirely from the violence of a ruffianly
mob, who, on the first appearance of the flames
in the adjoining house, broke open his doors
and carried away property to the amount of
nearly 2,0001. They were repeatedly told by the
persons within that there was no fire in the place,
and no need of their assistance, but to no pur-
pose. This is rather discreditable to the charac-
ter of the Dublin populace.—Dublin Morning
Register.

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT.

Jem Burns took his benefit yesterday. The Court was
crowded to an overflow, and the muster of amateurs more
respectable than we have witnessed for some time ; the
sparring, too, was excellent, and the highest satisfaction
was expressed.
Among the exhibitors were—Young Dutch Sam and
the Sailor-boy; Murphy and the Bristol Baker ; Stock-
man and Raines ; Young Spring and Oliver Burns ; fill
Savage and Ike Dodd ; Harry Harmer and Tom Oliver ;
Pick and Charley Jones ; Reuben Marten and Gybletts ;
and, as a closer, Tom Belcher and Jem Ward. The lat-
ter set-to was a finished specimen of science, both did
their best---and the stops and returns were of the most
admirable description. If any thing, Belcher had rather
the beat of Jem, although so much swor,n. The loudest
applause marked the pleasure which so rare a display of
merit afforded.

Jem Burns, at the close of the sports, mounted the stage
and returned his warm thanks for the liberal manner in
which he had been supported. He has nearly got rid of
the effects of his contest, and only bears a black eye as a
badge of honour.
Baldwin " chewed," and exhibited a marked contrast to
Jem—his face was still dreadfully swollen, although greatly
reduced by bleeding. On mounting the stage, he ex-
pressed his sorrow at having lost the fight—more for his
friends' sake, who had lost their money, than for himself.
He was free to confess that he had made too light of his
antagonist, and received such heavy hits or: the outset of
the battle, that he scarce know what follovred. He an-
nounced that he should take a benefit on Tuesday week,
when he would be ready to make a fresh match with Jem,
and tight him in a fortnight if be were so disposed.
Big Brown was expected, but did not attend, having de-
puted Cribb to make his match with Jem Ward.
Tom Oliver who was to have fought Uncle Ben on Wed-
nesday next, has forfeited the deposit money.
The stakes for Jem Burns' fight with Baldwin, will be
delivered to him this evening, in due form, at the Castle
Tavern, Holborn, and a strong muster of his friends is ex-
pected to " crack a bottle" to his good fortune.

EFFECTS OF MOONLIGHT ON THE EYES.
—The effect of the moonlight on the eyes in
Egypt is singularly injurious ; the natives tell you,
as I found afterwards they also did in Arabia, to
cover your eyes when you sleep in the open air.
The moon in Egypt strikes and affects the sight,
when you sleep exposed to it, much more than
the sun ; a fact of which I had a very unpleasant
proof one night, and took care to guard against
it afterwards ; indeed, the sight of a person who
should sleep with his face exposed at night would
soon be utterly impaired or destroyed.-Carne's
Letters from the East.

MANUMISSION OF SLAVES.

(EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.)
« BERBICE, FEB. 16.--Never Was erbice
so excited as by the discussion of the compulsory
clauses under the slave ameliorating ordinance.
Last Monday, Feb. 12, the Protector, Mr.
Power, appeared in Court for the negress who
claimed the right to purchase herself and mulatto
child. The whole colony was assembled. The
lawyers were all opposed to him. Theirlearned
pleader denied the claim for manumission, on
the ground that the money was acquired, not by
her honest industry, but by immoral courses,
merely because she had a mulatto child. Mr.
Power combated the conclusion as a false one
under any circumstances, but that, in a commu-
nity where the institution of marriage had never
been encouraged amongst the slave population,
and where, amongst all classes, cohabitation was
the rule, and marriage the exception, it was no-
thing short of that cant which slave proprietors
affected to hold in such detestation, to resist a
legal claim on such a discreditable assumption.
The Governor, in his capacity of President of
the Courts, over-ruled the untenable objection,
and said it rested with the Protector of Slaves to
decide whether or not the slave had acquired the
money by her honest earning. The Protector
had examined the negress and other persons as
to her having, for a length of time, been enabled
to raise stock, &C., and purchase European
goods, which sell here in the way of barter at a
very high price, full 500 per cent. above the ori-
ginal invoice, and that she had been in the habit
of selling pigs and other stock to the merchant,
vessels. in the port. Besides, those persons who-'
now opposed, never until that hour, though due
notice was served, made any objection to the
Protector, and herefore the claim of the app'll-
- was not to be defeated, because the other
parties denied his authority to decide on her
character, and, by -so doing, had not availed
themselves of the means the law pointed out.
" The interested parties refused to submit at
the moment to the decision of his Excellency
under the provisions of the law ; but, finding
that appraisers were appointed, they, this morn- ,
ing, on reconsideration, officially stated to the
Protector that they were mistaken, and that*they
were most solicitous not to be mixed up with
any contumacious opposition to the principle of
the new law. The negress 'and her child have
been valued at 2,000 guilders, and thus has ter-
minated the first claim under the long discussed
right of a slave to purchase him or herself at A
fair price, even without the consent of the
owner."

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING, 1827.
THE RIDDLESWORTH STAKES.

NEWMARKET, TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
The town is at this time all in cornrnoti:,o, in conse-
quence of the Jockey Club having adjudged the above im-
portant and valuable Stakes to Glenartney. This is owing
to Donna Clara having carried Sib. less than her weight,
being entered as an untried mare, when •it was asserted
(after the race) that she was ato one. The Jockey
Club have, within the last few minutes, decided against
Lord Clarendon ; so that Lord Jersey, as the owner of the
second horse, Glenartney, receives the stakes (upwards
of 2,000/.)

THEN TO FIND THE TIME.

Let the difference bet; eenL---and N. be P, which is
equal to 6 m. 49 sec. under which in Table Z, and oppo-
site to 29, the minutes of latitude already found, is 3 in.
17 sec. 7—say 3 m. 18 sec. which being subtracted from
L, because Nis less than L, gives 2 h. 58 m. 53 sec. the
Apparent Time required, and hence the rongitude by chro-
nometer.

RIMARIE9.-1. The results both of latitude and time,
by the above process and correct dsta, will always be dose
approximations to truth, and sufficiently so for nautical
purposes—if great accuracy be required, it is only to as-
sume another latitude, nearer to the latitude last found,
and compute the interval, until there be no difference be-
tween the observed and the computed intervals, which re-
quiring no new problem to solve, show the utility and
beauty of this approximate method—for which, and for
others equally valuable, the reader is referred to the
Work itself.

By the late JOHN WARTON, D.D.

" It has often occurred to me as something wonderful,
that, amongst the variety of books which are to he met
with, on the important subject of Religion, there should
still be wanted a manual for the information and direction
of the Minister in his daily intercourse with sick persons
and other members of his flock.

" Having been in the habit then, for several years, of
remarking this defect of instruction with regard to practiCal
divinity, and the whole, business. of.s,..:Parish. Priest, and
having myself meanwhile been thrown,perpetually into,the
most interesting and awful scenes with my own Parishion.
ers, I determined at length, to,take up my pen, and to com-
mit to paper Whatever,. having passed under my personal
observation, might be most likely to be useful to others el
the same profession.
" I had no thought originally of doing more than assist
my younger brethren of the clerical order, who might be
appointed to the management of large parishes, without
time or opportunities to prepare themselves in an adequate
manner for so difficult and momentous an undertaking.
But, in proceeding with my work, I began to flatter myself
with the notion, that it may .possibly both amuse and in,.
struct every description of readers—many persons may be
tempted, upon the recommendation of the Clergy,; to peruse
the book ; and may find unexpectedly their fancy pleased,
their knowledge increased, and their hearts touched and
improved."—Preface. .

BALLOON ASCENT.

Yesterday the inhabitants of the eastelu part of
the metropolis were highly gratified by the ascent of
Mr. Charles Green, in his new and splendid balloon,
from the bowling-green of the Royal Eagle Tavern,
in the Mile-end-road. The inflation commenced at
an early hour on Monday evening, under the super-
intendence of Mr. ,'Taggart, of the British Gas
Company's works in Ratcliffe Highway, and was
completed before mid-day; from which time until
evening, and during the whole of yesterday, until
within half an hour of the ascent, small parties were
accommodated by Mr. Green with ascents to a given
height, the balloon being secured by lengthy ropes.
Towards three o'clock, the time fixed for the ascent,
the gardens were filled with company of the highest
respectability, who evinced the utmost delight and
",,T,tctionat the sight of the stupendous machine, this
being the first occasion on which the public gene-
rally had had an opportunity of seeing it fully in-
flated, it having been built by Mr. Green expressly
for his nocturnal ascents last season from the Royal
Gardens, Vauxhall, and when filled contains
141,364 gallons of hydrogen gas, and is com-
posed of 1,200 yards of silk, of a peculiar tex-
ture, worked in alternate stripes of crimson arid
gold-colour. About four o'clock the necessary pre-
parations having been previously made, a partial ascent
to the height of about 300 feet was effected, from which
height a parachute was despatched, containing a fine
tabby cat, which landed safely within the enclosure
of the bowling-green. This manoeuvre, which was
extremely well managed, appeared to give very ge-
neral satisfaction. Every arrangement being now
completed, a pilot balloon was sent up, which at first
took a direction due north, but suddenly changed to
the westward, and was soon lost to view. A heavy
shower of rain, accompanied by a strong current of
wind, caused a considerable further delay, but the
atmosphere clearing, exactly at six o'clock Mr. Green
took his seat in the car, accompanied by Messrs.
Fox and Mercer, two professional gentlemen, who
had been accepted by Mr. Green as the companions
of his aerial flight. At ten minutes past six the
word " away " was given, and the machine rose
slowly and majestically amidst the shouts of the com-
pany within and the crowds without the grounds,
which were particularly numerous on the occasion.
The balloon moved slowly, and at a very moderate
height, in the direction of Essex, for the space of
ten minutes, when a quantity of ballast being thrown
out, and the atmosphere being very dense, it was
quickly lost to the eye. In a few minutes, how-
ever, it became again visible in a direction north-
north-west, but a heavy fall of rain coming on, all
above became obscured, and the spectators departed.
This is Mr. Green's 66th ascent.

The snow on the Saxon mountains was still
from three to six feet deep on the 31st of March, and as the
cold continued, and know occasionally fell, it rather in-
crease thin diminished.

CORONERS' INQUESTS.

An Inquest was held yesterday morning at the Europa Tavern,
Rotherhithe, on the body of Catherine Gardner.
The Jury having been sworn, a question arose as to the pro-
priety of calling the husband, who, it was stated by some medi-
cal gentlemen present, was rn that state of mental excitement as
to render doubtful what the consequences of such a determina-
tion might be. It was within the knowledge of some of the Jury,

William Gaitskell, surgeon, had known the deceased upwards
of ten years, during which period he had regularly attended her.
She acknowledged having taken the poison. He applied the usual
remedies, but without effect.
Some questions were here put, to account for the non-applica-
tion of the stomach-pump, when Mr. Gaitskell stated that it was
useless in such a case, as the powder she had taken adhered so
strongly to the coats of the stomach, as to render the stomach-
pump altogether ineffectual.
Martha Loader—Am servant to Mr: Gardner, and have been
so for upwards of six months. When I first took my place, my
mistress lost a child about 14 months old, which grieved her
very much. Her health and spirits were gradually declining, and
they got progressively worse up to the time of the commission of
the act which caused her death.

By a Juror—Was aware that there was poison in the house,
kept for the purpose of destroying rats. The deceased was latterly
in the habit of walking in her sleep. She would frequently quit
her bed, and come into witness's room, turn wildly towards her,
turn in the same_ way round the room, and then east her face to-
wards the floor, in a melancholy manner, and remain stationary,
sighing deeply, for three or four minutes. She would then depart
in the same manner as she entered. On these occasions she was
sometimes habited in a shawl, but most usually in her night dress.
The Jury returned a verdict of" Temporary Derangement."
There are five young children left to deplore their mother's loss.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We have received a Letter signed W., in answer to our article
on the Poor Laws. It is impossible for us to give it inser-
tion, as the writer has substituted abuse for argument, under
the specious supposition that the article in question had crept
accidentally into our Paper. We beg to assure him that it
contained the deliberate opinions of this Journal on the sub-
ject of the Poor Laws, any objections to which we shall be
ready to meet when expressed with temper.
