SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS.

Coamcieme.—An Irish member of great influence stated, last night,
to, gentleman, who was our informant, that an insurrection had broken
out in one of the counties of Ireland ; and letters were yesterday re•
mired by gentlemen connected with the county of Meath, stating that
the agricultural population in five or six districts of that county had
turned out in large bodies, compelling everywhere all the people at
awl to join them in demanding the lowering of rents and augmenta-
tion of wages.
HEIALD.—Among the reforms which the Lord Chancellor pro.
to introduce into the Courts of Equity, one of the soundest in
=irk, and most beneficial in practice, is the substitution okra
',we testimony for written evidence obtained through the medium of
written interrogatories. Courts of Equity, like the Ecclesiastical
Courts, are of foreign importation. They are exotics to the soil, and have
been transplanted into England from the institutionsof Imperial and Pon.
deal Rome, with their own peculiar principles relative to the adminis.
nation of jucire. which, though endured among us forages, have never
been naturalized, and, indeed, never can assimilate with the native prin.
ciples of oar constitutional jurisprudence. To revolutionize this @yam
altogether—to sweep away the un-English maxims, the inquisitorial
and arbitrary power—the absurd subtleties of practice, and rapacious
exactions connected with it, would be a task worthy of a man inspired
by the noble ambition to earn a pure and immortal fame by :services of
the most splendid utility to his country. The talents and the inde-
fatigable energy of Lord Brougham render him equal to the task.
His inclinations are, we believe, for a complete and thorough
rearm ; and if he have the moral intrepidity to persevere in
the course which he has commenced, and does not allow himself to be
turned aside from this great object by the little censure of pedantic ca-
villers or the interested clamour of the venal supporters of abuse, he
will achieve a work which will cause his name to be held in enligh.
tcned admiration ae the benefactor—of a people, when the perishable
conflicts of party shall have been forgotten. To most of the princi.
pies which he proposes to act upon we can give our unqualified praise.
The setting aside the present Lists of Commissioners of Bankrupts,
and separating the jurisdiction in bankruptcy from the Court over
which he presides, is an alteration of which the necessity has been long
felt by the public, but which takes from the office of Lord Chancellor
s quantity of profit and patronage which none of those who heretofore
held the Great Seal were willing to resign.
Ttstne.—The motives assigned for the restlessness on the subject of
emigration is the absolute certainty, as it is endeavoured to make us be-
lieve, that there is a redundancy of hands. Now we happen to do more
than doubt s' this self-evident proposition :" and with some information
from all parts of the kingdom, we are fully of opinion that there is
more work which ought to be done, in all those districts where the dis.
tress of the labourer has been the most striking, than there are hands
:o do it. However, it may be said, there being unemployed hands, no
matter from what cause, it is better to remove them than to take the
chance of the /knish market being able to find them employment.
But how remove them ? Lord Howick says, at the expense of the
parish, by borrowing money upon the:rates. We have not had misery
,nough in a national point of view, we suppose, from anticipating our
future revenues, but we must anticipate our parochial revenues also, eb ?
And who is to maintain the residue of infirm and aged paupers in a pa.
rich when the persons capable of labour (and such are the only fit sub-
iects for emigration) are removed ? We say, that (without some other
cruse operating) the rates would immediately increase in a parish after
(very act of emigration ; and for this cause—that the labouring
poor can always do something towards the maintenance of
their aged and infirm relatives, who, after the emigration
_
of their supporters, must fall wholly on the rates. Many
plough-boy brings home his cighteeo.pena or half-a-crown a week to
his grandmother or widowed mother, whhoo, but for this help, must come
wholly to the parish All emigration bills violate nature and harrow
up the feeling ; but Lord Howick's measure is of a character abeo.
lutely atrocious. The unhappy fugitive still supports his courage
when he takes leave of all that is dear to him in earth with some vague
idea that he shall be able to return at some future period to the scenes of
his infancy. But Lord Howick's proposition is, that the emigrant,
when once started, shall never be owed to return to his native lad,
so as to be again chargeable on the rates I What law, that Is
not opposed to every principle of humanity, can bar the ports of his
country against an individual whose only crime is poverty ? And blow
can It be ascertained, a priori, whether a returning emigrant will how
after become chargeable on parochial rates or not ? The author of the
bill talks likes recruiting serjeant in a country fair, of his 3a. 6d. a day
as labourers' wages in Canada. But let it be reeolleetd, that without other
documents, high wages may mean only dearness of provisions ; and in any
case 31. 6d. a day is not enough to secure a provision for old age in a coun.
try where them are no parish rata,—no almshouses, founded by benevo-
lent sweaters. We have little doubt, therefore, but that such a bill
would be a grievous aggravation of individual suffering and of the pub.
lie difficulties. and hope it will die quietly r but Uwe find any vigo.
cons attempt made to carry It, we shall, without scruple, expose the
folly and the ignorance, mixed with the intolerable conceit, °Me pro.
jectors of these notable chemes for taxing every parish, and banishing
OUT industrious and able-bodied labourers.

—Captain William Hope, Herefordshire ; Captain Tho-
mas Shepherd, Hytbe, for Bombay and China ; and Capt.
Hamilton Blair Avarne, Warren Hastings, for St. Helena,
Prince of Wales' Island, and China.
Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India House for
the election of a Director in the room of Sweny Toone, Esq.
who has disqualified. At six o'clock the glasses were closed
and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the election to
hare fallen on R. Ellice, Esq.
Miss Mordaunt, who has recently retired from the boards
of Drury, without giving the manager or proprietor the
slightest notice of her intention so to do, has entered into an

mony was solemnized at Stepney Church.
The Anti- Reform Address presented to his Majesty at the
Levee yesterday, from the Merchants and Gentlemen of Bris-
tol, contains no lees than 5,000 signatures; and the residences
are all affixed to the names. It was presented by the Duke
of Beaufort, accompanied by the Bishop of Bristol, Sir
Charles Wetherell (the Recorder), and the Members for the

The wine trade yesterday received notice from the

to customers since that day.
The Roman Catholic inhabitants of various parishes in
Ireland have presented addresses to the Marquis of An-
glesey, thanking him for the firmness and decision he has
evinced, and expressive of their confidence in his attachment
to the country and his wish to serve it.
A friend to whom we have often been indebted for im-
portant information assures us that he has received a letter
stating that a formidable Austrian army is in a state of forward
preparation for the field, and that young Napoleon will accom-
Parry it. If this intelligence be correct, we should think that
the destination of the force alluded to is Italy, the Austrian
provinces of which begin to manifest unfriendly feelings
towards their Sovereign, rather than the more hazardous ser-
?lce for which the correspondent of our friend supposes it
to be intended.—Post.
FRom THE QUECEC PAPERS.— Ttmnzz Tannz.—The
Principle maintained by the Gentlemen who compose the
Sew Ministry, in regard to the existing protection given to'
the Timber Trade of Canada, by high duties on Baltic
Tunter, and some little Debates in Parliament, have ex-
alarm in the Province that they will support an ED..
Lbourrible alteration of these duties.

After the breaking up of the Privy Council, the Cabinet
Ministers retired to a private room, and held a Cabinet
Council. The Ministers sat in deliberation a considerable
time.

Yesterday morning, her Majesty, accompanied by the
Marchioness of Ely, attended divine service at St. James's
church, and heard a sermon by the Bishop of London, being
the first of a series of lectures which are to be delivered on
Wednesday mornings during Lent.

HER MAJESTY'S BIRTH DAY.

This being the day appointed to keep her Ma-
jesty's birth-day, at ten o'clock this morning, the Ist
Regiment of Grenadier Foot Guards marched from
their barracks, in the Bird-cage-walk, accompanied by
their band in their state uniforms, on to the pa-
rade : shortly after they were joined by the mounting-guard
of the Royal Horse Guards, (Blue), with their band in full
dress. At half-past ten, Prince George of Cumberland,
Prince George of Cambridge, Lord Hill, Colonel Hill. and
several military officers, rode on to the Parade. The troops
marched past in open order, after which they went through
several manreuvres, and then passed the young Princes in
close order, with their bands playing. The hands then pro-
ceeded to St James's Palace. The young Princes, on their
return to the Palace, were much cheered by the people.
Notwithstanding the wetness of the morning, there was a
great number of persons assembled. Her Majesty holds her
first drawing room to-day.

BRIGHTON, Fes. 22.

Colonel and Mrs. Fox remain at the Pavilion. They yes-
terday dined with the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. VERNOW.
The town now is comparatively dull.
The generosity of their MAJESTIES during their stay with
us, especially u regards the charitable local Institutions' has
left an impression of gratitude that can never be effaced.
The Grenadier Guards march hence on Friday.
Sir Richard and Lady Hunter are preparing for a splendid
entertainment at their Grand Parade residence, to which
they parpole inviting their numerous circle of fashionable
friends.

Again we have fine open hunting weather. Sir Robert
Wilmot, Captain Quicke, and a field of about forty sports-
men, met the Subscription Harriers at Patcham yesterday.
The first hare was found in Greendran Botton, which
acudded to Poynings, came back to Greendran, and, after a
species of hide-and-seek run, which lasted an hour, was lost
'at North Howth. Found a second at Patcham, and killed
at Withdran. A third was started at the latter place, which
afforded agreeable play for three quarters of an hour.

Her Majesty having signified her intention of being pre-
sent at the delivery of a lecture by the Bishop of London, at
St. James's-church, a notice was sent round to the beadles,
&c. to be in attendance yesterday, at the same time they
were desired not to give the least information on the subject,
as her Majesty wished to come privately : at 11 o'clock
three carriages arrived, the first containing the ladies in
waiting, the second her Majesty and the Princess Augusta
Sophia, and the third Earl Howe, as lord in waiting. Her
Majesty was conducted to the Bishop of London's pew. The
church was crowded to excess, among whom were several of
I.the nobility : so great was the desire to see her Majesty
at her departure, that it was with great difficulty
a passage could be made for her to reach the car-
liege, while at the entrance an immense number of
persons congregated and cheered her Majesty as she left
the abaxeh.

Ten Peers, 111 Magistrates, 260 landed proprietors, 300
land and householders, &c. in all over 900, have signed the
county Cork declaration in favour of the Union.

copr OF THE ADDRESS PR,ESENTED TO 1111
MAJESTY AT THE LEVER YASTERDAY.

From Thirty County Magistrates, many of the Dignified Clan, and
13,645 Inhabitants of Wiltshire ; also front Twenty of the Principal
Towns, comprising Fifteen of the Boroughs, by John Thomas
Alayne Esq. of Teffont-house, in that County, and which was mos
graciously received.
TO HIS MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY KING WILLIAM
THE FOURTH.
Star--Second to no one in attachment to your Majesty's person and
Government, to the illustrious House of Brunswick, in love of my
country, or in seal for the restoration of the original purity of the British
Constitution, admiring, in common with my countrymen, those princely,
wise, and liberal feelings, for which you are so distinguished. as the
organ, and the request of the undermentioned 3lagistracy and dignified
Clergy, std also nearly 14,000 individuals of all classes, I humbly, but
honestlysod respectfully, proceed (with your Majesty's gracious per-
mission) on behalf of so many respectable inhabitants of the county of
Wilts, to declare their warm and sincere attachment to your Majesty's
ip person, to the al Family, and to the Constitution of this country as
by law establ at the glorious Revolution in 1688.
That they ave for a length of time viewed with apprehension and
alarm the many and increasing encroachments made upon the rights and
liberties of the people, in consequence of the undue and unconstitutional
influence exercised by some of the Aristocracy (arising principally from
their increasing possession of the decayed boroughs) at the election of
Members, and on their votes in the Commons' House of Parliament.
That they consider the effect of such influence to have been the prin.
dpal cause why the Ministers of the Crown have hitherto resisted every
measure of substantial reform, and also those of economy and retrench-
ment, so necessary to be rigidly enforced in every department of the
public service ; the consequence of which has been that the country
continues burdened after lb years of profound peace, with a weight of
taxation, direct and indirect, which has produced grist distress and ex-
citement in this once happy and peaceful country.
They beg most respectfully and humbly to request the'exercise of your
Majesty's authority to obtain fur them an immediate remission of those
taxes which are most felt by the labouring and industrious classes, such
as the imposts on malt, soap, and candles, with a reduction of those rout
tea and sugar : they are also desirous of the repeal of the whole of the
assessed taxes, and instead thereof that the necessities of the state shoull
be supplied by a graduated property tax, which would relieve the 'Amor
and tradesman, enable them to give more employment to the industrious
classes, and, where necessary, to increase the rate of wages.
That they look forward with hope and confidence to the Ministry just
formed under the auspices of your Majesty (combining, as it does, so
many men of rank and talent who have on many occasions proved
' themselves the friends of the people), and doubt not they will have
your Majesty's sanction and support in the attempt to remedy (as far
as is consistent with the safety of the State) the evils complained of,
which will insure to them the united and determined support of those
on whose authority I presume to deliver this address, kerning a large
portion of the brave, patient, industrious, and still loyal population of
Wiltshire.
Should the great measure of reform in Parliament, which now agitates
all classes in the State, prove full and efficient, it will never be forgotten
that for so happy a change, to you, Sire, would your people be indebted;
you would unite all hearts in affection and gratitude; and thus, besides
being the most powerful and generous, you would be the most happy o:
Sovereigns.
Having thus, with deep-felt respect, discharged my duty to my coon
try, and to a Sovereign who I pray GoD may long continue to reign
over us, I humbly
subscribe myselfour Majmty's most dutiful, de-
voted, and humble servant, JOHN THOMAS MAYNE.
