The Earl of ABERDEEN arrived in town
yesterday. from Tunbridge Wells. P.inre ESTERILA ZY
transacted business at the Foreign Office with his Lordship.

Yesterday afternoon, as his Grace the Duke
of WELLINGTON was coining into town over Westminster-
bridge, in his travelling carriage and post horses, from
Dartford, nearly opposite OLIVER'S Coffee-house, at the
foot of the bridge, the horse on which the postilion rode
fell, and it was dragged several yards before the carriage
could be stopped. Several watermen and others imme-
diately ra❑ to the carriage to render assistance, and in •
stantly recognized his Grace, who in the kindest mintier
thanked them for their attention, and requested the door
of the carriage to he opened that he might get out. His
Grace, on alighting, seemed particularly anxious about
the postilion, and repeatedly inquired if he was hurt. On
being informed that he was not materially injured, his
Grace gave- some directions to his servants, and pro-
ceeded on foot to Downing-street. The horse was very
much cut, and seriously injured. Another horse having
been procured, the carriage was taken to his Grace's re-
sidence.

Lord CLARE, Lord, CARLTON, and Lon]
ALVA NT. EY, are additional instances, within the memory
of most men now living, to our former list of individuals;
who have advanced themselves to the dignity of the Peer-.
sge by their legal eminence.

The Marquis of BARBACENA left town on
Sunday for Ostend, to accompany the young Empress of
BRAZIL to England. Iler Imperial MAJESTY will pro-
ceed immediately to Portsmouth, where she will meet the
young Queen of PORTUGAL, prepated to embark with her
step-mother. Her Faithful MAJESTY took leave of the
KING at Windsor on Sunday.

The Duke of BEDFORD is now at Ityde, in
le Isle of Wight, enjoying the society of many of his Whig

Lord and Lady DUDLEY STUART have ar-
rived in Paris, from Italy, and alighted at the Hotel. Men-

We have to announce the death of the Right
Hon. General Sir DAVID Baum, G.C.B. and K.C.G.
This lamentabk event took!place at his seat, Ferntower, in
Perthshire, on Teesday last, the 18th inst. By his death
the Government of Fort George and the Colonelcy of the
24th Regiment are vacant.

Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. STIR-
LING, at the Black Horse, Poplar, to inquire, touching the
death of a new-horn female infant, who was found con-
cealed in a house in Eagle-court, Poplar, on Friday last.
The body of the child was discovered in the water-closet.
After hearing the evidence of a surgeon, and some persons
who lived in the house, the Jury returned a verdict of
‘, Wilful Murder" against SARAH M'KIFFIN.
DUBLIN, AuG. 21.—The bills against Mr.
JOHN Ews, who headed the Orangemen at Newry in
July last, were ignored. This, after the charge of Judge
JEBB, or indeed even if that charge were not made, will
surprise no one.
We understand that his MAJESTY has ex-
pressed his earnest desire for the speedy completion of his
new Palace at Pimlico, in consequence of which addi-
tional hands have been put to the works, and the number
of persons now employed amount to 1,000. Notwith-
standing this augmentation of workmen, the issue of mon,y
is restricted, by order of the Duke of WELLINGTON, to
30,0001. per quarter. At one time the enormous sum of
10,0001. a-week was expended ; but most of the costly ma-
terials being now in store, the expenditure is confined al-
most entirely to labour. As soon as this Palace is com-
pleted, the old one of St. James's is to be taken down, and
plans for laying out the grounds are now in the office of
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. We are cre-
dibly informed that Mr. Nast' has promised to have the
new Palace ready for occupation by the 12th of August,
1830. Observer.
The Marquis of WATERFORD passed through
this town on Friday, to Harrogate ; Sir JAMES SCAR-
LETT, on Saturday. on his way front York to Gloucester ;
the Marquis and Marchioness of LONDONDERRY, on Sun-
, day, to their family seat near Stockton ; and his Grace the
Duke of DEVONSHIRE and suite, on Wednesday, from
Chatsworth, on their way to T3olton Abbey. The Hon.
Mr. CAVENDISH, M.P. for the University of Cambridge,
and his lovely bride, passed throngh this town yesterday,
front Chatsworth, to join the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, at
Bolton Abbey.—Sheffidd Courier.
ERRATUM.—In a passage in the " Pope's
Encyclic Letter" in our last, for "translations of lives of
the saints," read " translations of the Scriptures."
ODESSA, JuLY 19 (31).—A few eases of
plague have occurred within the space included by the cor-
don, but no symptom has appeared beyond it. The town
continues consequently free. Commissaries are named by
the Governor, to visit regularly twice a day every house in
, the town, so that the least symptom may be immediately
made known.

ST. SWITIIIN AND THE WEATHER.—The
reign of Saint SwrrniN (forty days and forty nights) ter-
minated yesterday (Monday), and, by way of a bonne
bouche at parting, we suppose, be gave us a tolerable spe-
cimen of his powers. It is to be hoped that the sun,
whose visits this summer has been like those of angels,
" few and far between," will give us his countenance
rather oftener during the remainder of autumn.

THE CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
• have refrained from addressing you
lately, not because I am become an inattentive

observer of passing events, nor because there is

less of interest in them,--but because I am dis-

gusted with the continued workings of a narrow,
sordid, selfish, party spirit, which would sacri-
fice every thing most dear to the heart of a true
patriot, for the attainment of its own exclusive
objects—repossession of political power, and
the resumption of bigotted opinions. Disap-
pointed in their hope of overawing the Govern-
ment, and of influencing the Representatives of
the people to abandon a measure, on the issue
of which were suspended the present safety and
future stability of the United Empire, there still

exists a party amongst us, who, having fore-

boded nothing but evil from its success, are
using every exertion, however base and disho-
nourable, to verify their predictions ; but notwith-
standing all that has since occurred, I trust they
will prove to be prophets as false as they are
heartless. There is a party, I say, though in-
significant in number as in respectability, actuated
by these unworthy motives. A portion of the
public press, and certain individuals not con-
nected with it, by mis-stating facts and asserting
falsehoods, continue to harass men's minds, by
leading them to suppose we are on the eve of

some mighty change—some great political con-
vulsion, which will place the Protestant Chw-clt
in danger ; whereas, all this outcry and assumed
alarm may be resolved into petty intrigue and
vulgar clamour. A Noble Lord (Eldon), who
was most strenuous and persevering in his
opposition to the Roman Catholic claims, de-
clared it to be his intention, as it was his duty,

to respect and uphold the Relief Bill when once
it should become law. Nor has he, to all ap-
pearance at least, acted inconsistently with his
professions ; but have the party followed his
example ? We have one notorious instance to

the contrary. Mr. Sadler, in addressing his
constituents at Newark, calls it an " iniquitous
measure." This may be Parliamentary language ;
but I ask, if it be in discharge of his duty as a
Legislator, that he thus expresses himself out of
Parliament, on the subject of a statute which is now
part and parcel of the Constitution—l ask if
this be the method he takes to induce the people
to obey the laws—may not this gentleman he
styled an Agitator, with as much propriety as
Mr. O'Connell, or Mr..Shiel, or Mr. Steele, or
Mr. O'Gorman ? Their agitation consisted in
exciting the people to clamour for the measure,
Wore it became law. His agitation tends to
excite the people to clamour against it, after it
has become the constituted law of the land.—

Is this politic, is it expedient, is it decent ?
Who is the greatest offender ? He who merely
clamours for a measure in progress, or he who
seeks to subvert the laws, or at least to make men
discontented with them ? And who echoes Mr.
Sadler ? Is it the people of England ? No.
Is it the people of Ireland ? No. It is only a
factious, venal press in this country, aided by
Messrs. Cobbett .and Hunt ! These latter
worthies were uniformly opposed to relieving the
Catholics, because they knew the natural result
of the measure must be to promote peace ; and
they did not foresee (what they now so rejoice
to see) that a disappointed party would continue
to disturb the quiet of the empire, in order to
make their words come true, or in the vain hope
of inducing Government to repeal the Act of
last session. Thus are the opposers of the Bill
aiding the Radical cause, which would other-
wise be utterly hopeless. For there are few men
so visionary as to advocate universal suffrage and
annual Parliaments, as a scheme good in itself;
and still fewer so base as to promote it, with a
view to the ultimate overthrow of the Constitu-
tion. lam disposed to consider Mr. O'Con-
nell, who makes common cause with the Radicals,
as belonging to the former class. His first ad-
dress to the Freeholders of Clare, projected
much that is impracticable, and much that would
be mischievous if practicable ; and his phraseo-
logy savoured of vanity and quackery. But
notwithstanding Mr. O'Connell's intemperance,
Mr. Shiers imaginative blasphemy, and Mr.
O'Gorman's seditious threatenings,—notwith-
standing certain factious Editors of the English
press,—notwithstanding the proclamation of
Hunt and Cobbett, who, after a period of
quietism, have come forward again, first to op-
pose the Catholic Relief Bill, and next to turn
the honest prejudices of the mob to their own
base purposes,—notwithstanding these inaus-
picious alliances, I trust the good sense and
good feeling of the people will frustrate the
machinations both of professed enemies and
false friends ; and that the arm of Government
will be directed to put down all agitators, whe.
ther Protestant or Catholic.
Let us call on every honest man, Sir,—every
lover of his country,—to lay aside all party views,
and to consult only the general good. Every per-
sonalconsideration should be lost sight of, in the
contemplation of public tranquillity and national
prosperity. Instead of writing foolish essays, to
prove that " the Constitution has been sacri-
telittni:('lem
will meet with the
sacri-
ficed," all men, who have really the good of
their country at heart, should unite to support
the Government. Though some disappointed,
discontented individuals assert the contrary, we
never had a stronger Government. That he
who has steered the vessel of the State amid the
storm of contending parties was ever assailable
