Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it
becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but
to cleanse the varier nature from those impurities which the free-
dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the
neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless
instances which, while they excite the commiser..tion of the be.

Luxurious habits will effeminim the body—a residence in the

never taken place, there would be no difficulty in the
present case. Here it was necessary to observe, while
:hewing that the former ease could -not govern the
present, that it was then stated that there existed;
corrupt and simoniacal agreement, by Which the in.:
cumbent had undertaken to resign his Hying, at the mere
request of the patron; but how stood the present cAse ?
Fletcher .bad. entered Into a bond with Lord Sondes,
the Noble defendant in error, to resign the Rectory of
Kettering, when one of his nearest relations (sons or
brothers) should be able to take Priest's Orders. He was
confident that the Right Rev. Prelates, who dect3ed the
question with respect to the Bishop of London and Fitch,
as to general bonds, never could have contemplated
a special case, as the report seas in existence to
prove; for in every one meson there given by the
Bishops, the words "general bond" were stated by them.
In proof of this, he could refer to the opinions of the Bi-
shop of Salisbury, the Bishops of Bangor and Glouces.
ter, and even of Lord Thurlow, who deprecated she
practice of giving general bonds, but only such bonds.
He was prepared to admit that such general bonds were
contrary to the statute law, and created a corrupt be-
nefit in the disposal of livings ; but be would ark their
Lordships, did this corruption atoll apply to the present
case, whet* the object of the special bond was stated o*
the very Lice of it, which object was no other than to
for the Noble defendant's relative. whom he could
provide for in no other way? Was such a bend to be
construed as - evidence of a corrupt intentiot ? He
thought not; and he was certain that the question
would not be answered in the affirmative by any sound
lawyer in Westminster-hall. Under such circumstances
as these, he felt no difficulty in stating, that the judg-
ment which bad been given in the Court below was, in
the present case, perfectly correct. It was also a great
mistake to suppose that them were no authorities in
support of this doctrine, for Lord Tburlow had ad-
verted to many of them, but always excepting general
bonds, while admitting the validity of special bonds,
whose resignation and presentation were provided for at
the same time. "Goo forbid." said Mr. Justice Best," that
your Lordships should not consent to be generally_bound
in giving jour judgment by the legal decisions of-West-
minster-hall; for that would give credence to the vul-
gar error that there existed no law except in the Statute
Book." He would contend, that as there had been an
uniformity of decisions on the subject of special bonds,
'from the time of James I. to the present day, it was
desirable, not to say necessary, that their Lordships
should gore effect to the decisions of Westminster Hall.
Special bonds, in such cases as the present, were not
within the meaning of the statute. This case turned on
the sth section of the Act, by which corrupt causes of
presentation were the only ones liable to penalty ; and
Af the present bond were not held valid, the decisiun
would go to condemn Lord Sondes as a simonaie, in
contradition to all decisions in other Courts. I3enefit
had nothing to do with the present case, where one re-
lative-was to be provided for .by another. If Lord
Sondes did not intend to obtain a sum of money, but
really to provide for a very near relation, then, as the
intent made the criminality of an action, there was no
Criminality in the present case. Simony was the act of •
receiving money in contravention of the statute. The
consideration of benefit on either side affected, if poshed
to its extreme, all exchanges of livings, though sanctioned
by the statute book ; for if such exchanges were made
with advantage to either side, and they generally went
upon that principle,then exchanges' ought also oho void;
and yet, be woad ask, who ever thought of treating
web exchanges as transactions not valid by law ? Be-
sides this, the Court of Chancery epos quite comfasoot
to frustrate, by its injuntions, aU improper preamatatieos

next question was—is this
voidable by the common law ? Livings had been
pared,• in this instance, to an estate for life ;
estate of a lay proprietor and a rector in such
were pile different things; the living, it was true,
from .he )ishop, but st moved from the Patron.—
There had been eases out of number, all -deciding this
pnttst. He could discover no analogy, no reason, no
principlr, by wh;ch bonds were to be declared void ; and
as to the terms of resignation, they did not affect the
val•dity of the.bond. With respect to common law, there
could be no question at all, because the common law
was ton remote in its origin to compete with the present
case. Besides, the clergyman was bound as to his oath
by the canon law, with which he must be presumed to be
acquainted; but it Sias not so binding on a layman, whose
sin of ignorance, if sin it were, aas always his excuse.
The most sufficient proof that our ecclesiastical oath
was not sufficient is such cases as this, was, that they
had another oath in Ireland, which they never would
have had if the patrons of livings in Leland were
not satisfied that our clerical oath was not adequate to
the present case. He implored their Lordships to pause
before they touched the ancient and actual state of
vested tights in this country, by invalidating the resig-
nation bond in the present case. What was the pretence
for it? The incumbent's oath. if it even were against
his oath to give such a bond, it was, to say the least of
it, against his honour to break that bond ; and if the
Noble defendant could not recover the fruits of that
bond, then not only him, but numbers of other most
honourable men, were guilty of simony by law, while
acting, as they supposed, and bad a perfect right to
suppose so, under the authority of the decisions of West-
minster. Hall, during a period of more than 200 years.
Lord Chief Justice ♦saoir, while certain that the
Noble defendant had no intention to simony, thought
that the present bond had been given, as a price for the,
living, which he collected from the wording of it. R
signations, he observed, should always be free and vi.
luntary. As for the bond being meant to provide fat
a near relation, he would only say, that if bonds of this
description were good for sons and brothers, why might
they not be good also, for cousins, and other? It was
necessary to set some limit to such cases; and, them•
fore, be should say—thus far shalt thou go, and no few
Cher. For these reasons, he considered that the present
bond ought to be deemed void.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that their Lordships
were now in a situation where, after the case of the Bi-
shop of London and Fitch, this important point, with
respect to resignation bonds, might be decided by the
highest Court of Judicature in the realm, after it had
been argued by Counsel at their Bar. It had been so
argued most ably, and it had been spoken to in such a
manner by the Learned Judges, that he trusted it was
nn unreasonable request in an individual Peer of Par-
liament to be allowed time for the consideration of the
question. As it would be his duty to move their Lord-
ships to come to a decision at last. he should, therefore,
now move that further proceedings be postponed to
Thursday week.

which case they should be permitted to retire unhurt,
as well as the garrison of Anatolie°. The proposal was,
however, rejected by the besieged, on which Genet. 11
Adam re•embarked, and Missolonghi was left to its fate.

Letters from Madrid, of the 20th April, represent
that country as in -a sad and humiliated state ; the
cruisers of the South American Republics are so daring
as to intercept the communications between the ports,
land on the coast to procure provision', and, in short,
keep the coast in a Rue of blockade. It also stated
from Comma, that the smugglers of Gallicia are at
open war with the militia, and have captured thirty of
them, six uf whom they shot. A priest of Bergantina, at
the head of a party of brigands, is levying contributions,
and at &flora an insurrection is stated to have broke
out, when a regiment of cavalry charged the populace
several times, but were repulsed.
The intelligence from Madrid in the French Papers
states, that insurrections had broken out in several parts
of the country in the name of CIL% arm' V. the Kiwo's
brother, whom the late attempt at Aranjues was in-
tended to place on the Throne. Troops had been sent
to quell the rebels, but in some places they hs.d,been.
repulsed.

This forenoon we received Dutch Papers to the Sd
inst. One of them contains a letter from Brody, la Gallicia, dated
the 1 fith ult. stating that nun bad been received there from Odessa,
30th March, Byra 13th, Smyrna 13th, and Constantinople 19th,
all stating that Commodore HAMMON bad announced to the Greek
Government the recognition of the independence of Greece by
England and Russia. The same Journal contains an article from
Odessa, dated the 12th ult. stating that thirty seven ships bad ar-
rived there front Constantinople, which confirmed the above intel-
ligence; and added that " Commodore Hamilton bad caused hos-
tilities between the Towhead the Greeks to cease." This news was
brought by express front Smyrna. And further, that " The brother
of the Count Cahn d' Istria, by the common consent of Great Britain
and Russia, is shortly to go to Greece to assume the dignitr of
President of the Greeks is the Peloponnesus."
This intelligence is, u the Americans say—" important, if true ;"
but, notwithstanding the accounts from Smyrna, Syrs, and Odeon,
and the thirty-seven ships from Constantioople4 we must observe,
that whatever may he the ultimate fate of Greece, there is every
reason to believe this statement is at least premature.

The Jorrxel in Commerce of Antwerp, received this
forenoon, gives an extract from a letter from Port au
Prince of ISth March, which announces that the treaty
of Commerce concluded in France by the deputies of
Hayti, with Commissioners appointed for the purpose,
has been rejected by the Haytian Government.
Nobody," says the Correspondent, " knows the abject of
the difficulty; we however regret this uncertainty. for he ratifies-
dais of the treaty annihilating it is use the finglish and German
11011111 MOM woul4 at fast have given some stability to the state of
thlngs,wherva in this manner credit and contours' Bimini* daily."
The terms of this Treaty are not, however, so much a *seervt Is
the Correspondent of the Antwerp Journal seems to think ; for this
Treaty, which Is dated Paris, October 15, I HS, contains such sti-
pulations as Hayti, with the slightest pretensions to independence,
can never submit to. In the very first article of this Treaty, it is'
declared, that his Most Christian MUM', having it in his power
to divest himself of his rights of exclusive trade with Hayti in
favour of other nations, was net prepared to allow this manifesta-
tion of his intentions to diminish the rights,which he was pleased to
reserve to himself and his successors for the advantage of French
geminate. The right which he thus reserved be had resolved to
exercise, by stipulating that is encases a deduction of half the duties
of export and import imposed upon the trade of the most favoured
nations shall be made in favour of that of France. The second article
determines what exports and Imports shall be an distinguished.—
The imports so-favoured must be of the growth or manufacture of
France, imported in French or Haytian vessels with certificates of
origin ; and the exports must be the produce of the soil and industry
of Hayti, carried under the same flags to France. Thus the repots.
lie of Hayti (if it ratifies this article) must for ever divest itself of
the power of conciliating other commercial States, by granting
them equal privileges with those given to Frenchmen. It can
never show but half the favour to other nations which it shows
to France. Where it imposes duties for the purpose of revenue,
it must nuke a sacrifice of half their amount in favour of
French trade. Thus, what would only be a moderate tax upon
the admission of French produce or manufactures, might amount
to a prohibitory duty on the same class of commodities from
other countries; and what would be a moderate charge on the
latter would be diminished on the former, so as ly to yield
any produce. In elicit, so long as Hayti raises a revenue on foreign
trade, France may have the command of its markets to the exclu-
sion of other natious, which could supply the same articles at a
cheaper rate, or on more advantageous terms. No wonder then,
that the President BOTIM refuses to ratify a treaty which would
scarcely fail of ruining the commerce of Hayti.

The intelligence from Lancashire continuos favobr-
able, for net only are the tumults subsiding, bat trade appears to be
reviving. A letter from Manchester, dated yesterday morning at
nine o'clock, states, that some extensive orders had bees received
which wou'd give employment to a number of the distressed work-
men. The improvement in the home market Is very decided,
and great hopes are entertained that the foreign trade also will
soon improve.

Yesterday being mar ket.clay, a considerable number
of manufacturers from &trent parts of the surresading
country attended as usual. It gives me infinite pleasure
to acquaint you, that many r•f the populous towns and
villages are perfectly tr.snquil,and the laborious part of
the community at their usual employ. Little damage
was done at Oldham or the neighbourhood, precaution
having been taken to protect the premises. Some little
damage was done in the neighbourhood of Wigan, on
Monday. All is perfectly quiet here, and every possible
exertion is using to assist the honest artisan. Since
about the middle of last month, weaving has been on
the increase in Middleton, and also in Failsworth ;
and I hope it will continue to do so. These districts
are very populous, and have I ng displayed considerable
industry and ingenuity. The Manchester Papers of
yesterday will be with you : some accounts in them, I
am'tad, are a little magnified. I have no doubt in a
little time Manchester goods will be wanted, and a
better price given both to weaver and manufacturer,.
I have resided many years in this placer and have seen
many vicissitudes. Born in Lancashire, I love my na-
tive land; and I have no doubt, with the blessing of
PROVIDINCE, we shall in a little time all see better days.
The following is an extract of a letter from Liver,
pool, dated May 2, received at the North and South
American Coffee-House:
" The accounts from the country this day are pacific. At a late

As it is of importance that accurate statements should
go forth to the world, of the unhappy mitts which
at present agitate the manufacturing districts of this
part of the country, we made it our business this
morning to see Gentlemen who came to this day's
market from the surrounding districts, and from whi se
accounts we are enabled to lay before our readers the
following particulars.
WIGAN.

In consequence of a numerous assemblage of persons
in Wigan on Sunday last, apprehensions were enter-.
mined that some disturbance might take place, and
consequently an express was sent off to Manchester for
a troop of horse. Accordingly a troop of the Ist Draa
goon Guards set off from here and arrived in Wigaa
about half-pan seven yesterday morning. AbOut nine
o'clock' last night a mob consisting of from five to six
thousand persons assembled near the extensive factory
of Mr. William Woods, containing 130 power looms.
Mr. Woods, however, had previously been on his
guard, and put his premises in a complete state' of
defence. Six pieces of cannon were planted round the
factory, and nearly 100 loaded muskets were In readi-
ness to be presented through the windows, Mr. Woods
having procured the assistance of all the pensioners
about the town and neighbourhood. A troop of the
Wigan Cavalry, strengthened by a detachment of the
Dragoon Guards, were also placed in an advantageous'
position ; and this formidable array so much intimidated
the mob, that son the reading of the Riot Act they
rapidly dispersed, having committed no other damage
than the breaking of a few windows. At a quarter
past ten tranquillity was perfectly restored.
At Barrowford, last night, a number of individuals
assembled, and proceeded to the factory of Mr.Willians
Bolton, where they broke two power looms; they then
went to the factory of Mr. Grimshaw, where they also
destroyed two looms. It may not be amiss to state
that these looms had never been used ; they bad
merely been procured by Mr. Bolton and Mr. Grim-
shaw in order to try how they would answer.,
The mob proceeded to no other act - of violence.
At Rawtonstall, yesterday, seven mew were taken into
custody, and having been examined before the Magis-
trates, were ordered to be sent off to Lancaster today.
This morning all was quiet, but the constables and the
military were nevertheless on the alert. At Bacop, on
the road to Burnley, ten men were taken into custody
on Thursday, on a charge of being concerned in the
riots of the preceeding day. They were committed to
Lancaster on Friday morning.
Our latest accounts from Oldham and the neigh.
bourhood represent every thing to be in a state of tran-
quillity. Every thing remains tranquil in Preston,
Blackburn, Bolton, Bury, Chorley, etc. Indeed, such
efficient means have been adopted for the defence of
every manufacturing establishment in this part of the
cquntry, that the proprietors apprehend no further mis-
chief. Independently of fire-arms, dm. the cops of the
factories are well supplied with large paving stones,
which, in case of attack, would deal destruction on
such as had the temerity to approach the buildings with
hostile intentions.
MANCHESTER.
This town is now restored to perfect tranquillity, nor
do we apprehend that it will readily be destroyed. In
addition to these gratifying particulars; we have the
pleasure to state, that after very particular inquiries as
to the state of this day's market, we are enabled to say
there has been a greater demand for goods than there
has been for several weeks past. That the state of
things may continue gradually to improve must be the
sincere wish of every red lover of his country.

and parties of the Queen's Bays have been sant out, with
drawn swords in their hands, a few miles upon- the
different great thoroughfares this morning, as It h con.
jectured, for the purpose of scouring the country. , Two
troops of cavalry, with three pieces of artillery, left
Manchester this morning on the road to Clithero. The
10th Regiment of Hussars arrived here this morning,
and several parties of them are SOW raticliog
streets. A detachment of them is gone to Oldham. A.
