IRISH CATHOLICS.

Lord CLIFDEN, after a prefatory speech, wherein
he spoke of the hardships which the Catholics of Ire-
land undergo, presented a petition from those of that
persuasion, inhabitants of the county of Carlow:—
His Lordship stated that he was the more emboldened
to introduce this petition from the sanction which, he
was given to understand, was afforded to it from those
who held, or recently held, the highest official situa-
tions in the Government of Leland. Be that as
it may, said the Noble Lord, the petition stands
upon the firm footing of natural right, and it best
and most eloquently spoke.its own merits. As the
day would shortly arrive when these merits would be
best and most seasonably discussed; he would ort 'the '
present occasion refrain from offering" any thin more
to their Lordships cOnsideration, than merely, that
this petition do lie on the table.
The question being
Lord REDESDALE assured the Noble Lord,
that no person, in or out of Parliament, had the in-
terest, the real interest and welfare of the Catholic
body of subjects more ardently at heart than those
perionages Who composed his; Majesty's Government.
But he availed himself of this occasion to say, that
the sanction asserted. to be tven to this petition, " by
persons holding high situiltrins in his Majesty's Go-
vernment," must be founded in error. Individuals
having place in the Castle of Dublin, and holding
forth-encouraging language on such topics, were not
to be considered in the light which the Noble Lord
would have them considered. He had no objection,
however, to the reception of the Petitiorii.
It was accordingly received, and ordered to lie on
the table, after a few observations in reply from Lord
Redesdale.

DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.
- Lord RU)ESDA LE, in pursuance of the promise
which he made Jast year, presented a bill, which was
read a-first time, for regulating the law between
Debtor and Creditor, as far as the same relates to
arrest, and to the imprisonment of the person. It
was ordered to be printed.—Miourned,

sent had been given by Commission, to Lord Wellington's An-

tween the Stirgeon-Genetal and Secretary at War relative to the

The Legal 'bays Bill and Exchequer Bills Funding Bill were

SCHELDT' EXPEDITION.
Mr. MAXWELL moved for a geogratretartiof
the Sick of all the Regiment's employed in the Wal.
cheren Expedition up to the 17th of February last.
Mr. LONG had no objection to. the motion; but
the Honomnble Gentleman would Obtierre' :that the
return would not give hint the exact number of sick
from the Welchem- fever, bat- *out& Include the
sick from other causes.
Mr. MAXWELL said; tligt what was wanted
was the number of sick on the arrival of the regiments
from Walcheren.
General TARLETON saw no reason why returns
of sick at the time of arrival, and also of the.sick up
to the 17th of February should not be made.

Mr. MAXWELL referred to the evidence of the
Surgeon General oa the Inquiry, from which it ap-
peared that he distinguished between the cases of
thcse who were affected'with the Walcheren fever,
and those who were sick from of causes.
The Irish Distiller): Bill "Mills' reported,—Report
agreed to. .) .•
rtEvzwutdittitilils AT HULL.

Officers employed in 'collecting the Customs at
Kingston•upon-Hull, spelt ifying the Salaries of each,
and the amount of
,Fees previous to the Compensa-
tion Act of the 47th of the King. •
Mr. THOMPSON seconded the motion, and
stated that at Hull the class of officers called Tide.
waiters were so inadequately. provided for, that in
some instances they were obliged to apply for relief
to their parishes. This required consideration. The
motion was agreed to.—Adjourned.

Yesterday a vessel from Holland landed eight Gen-

making their escape from France. They were all
dressed in the French stile.
A Decree has been published in Ranee, relating to.
Slate Prisoners, whom it is not conitenient either to bring to
trial, or to set at liberty! It is a singular specimen of
wanton mockery of er•zry principle of justice recog-
nized among civilized nations. Tyranny generally
courts concealment, to hide its villanies. This is the
first instance we recollect to have met with (except
during the horrors of the French revolution) in which
publicity has been given to the violation of every
dictate of equity, under an affectation of consulting
the personal safety of the criminal.—(S.Fe a Preceding
column.)
The Paris papers (to the 15th instant) state in an
article from Turkey, that a -British squadron had

Letters from Holland report, that BONAPARTE has
agreed to give the Archduke CIYARLES a kingdom.
and the Dutch are afraid that the Austrian Prince is
to be the successor of their dethroned King Louts.

tribute to the worth of on,e who was the chief source
of all my boyish sports, and who now often indulges
fin a hearty laugh at the recital of those tricks of which
laelimself was the chief promoter.

ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGL—The animal estimate
of expense for the Royal Military College, has af-
forded matter for observation in the House of Com-
mons. Mr. FITZGERALD remarked, that the Arith-
metic and Fencing Masters are nearly as well paid as
the Professor of Fortification. To us the salaries
appear very inadequate for the scientific professors.
The highest salary enjoyed by any professor, is only
£3OO a-year ; a sum, which, when considered as a
remuneration for the exercise of talents and genius,
of no ordinary kind, the fruit of a whole life's sedu-
lus study, is certainly small, and places the literaryl
professor, in point of emolument, little higher than the
labouring mechanic. The knowledge of fencing,
though useful, and perhaps necessary to the military
Tyro ; yet, being only a secondary branch of educa-
tion, analogous to dancing, it can only be viewed
as one of the ornamental arts—its professors, there-
fore, who must be supposed to have acquired their
knowledge of the sword, without study and without
expense, seem to merit a less reward than those whose
lives, unlike the others, have been entirely devoted
to the study and promotion of science. But the sala-
ries very seldom exceed sli'2oo a-year for the oldest
professors ; and some of the mathematical and other
professors have little more than £lOO or £120; while
the stipends of not less than one of the fencing mas-
ters, who are, we believe, all foreigners, amount to
3elBo, or £2OO a-year, independent of the annuities '
they receive as emigrants.

The expedition from Bombay against the.pitates
in the Persian Gulph, it uppears:by the ,laskaccosints
from Bombay, sailed about the 13th of .14th of.Bols,
tember. It consisted of the 65th regiment, and about
200 native infantry, Which, it is feared, was not ade-
quate to the object ender contemplation. This ap-,
prehension is increased by the circumstance of the loss
of the Strombolo bomb-vessel, Which 'carried part of
the troops destined on this service. The troops and
crew, we are happy to state, were all saved. The 1
pirates had been for some time represented to be in
great force; having at least one hundred stout dows,
large open boats, capable of carrying 200 men each ;
and, for the most part, supplied with guns of heavy
metal.

—By the intelligence from the Malabar Coast, it ap-

ing, according to some of the letters to 25,000 caval-
ry, and 45,000 infantry, with which be appeared be-
fore Bopul, at the end of the month of July. Saw-
Trax's main army is said to have taken up a central
position in Hindostan. In consequence of an appli-
cation from his Persian Majesty, an order had been
communicated to the Boinbay Government, for a sup-
ply of 16,000 stand of arms, and a suitable proportion
of artillery, and for selecting a proper staff to accom-
pany them, for the purpose of officering and disci-
plining the corps, in whose hands the ants were to be
placed. Preparations were in great forwardness for
effecting the objects of this communication.
The General Catholic Committee of Ireland, have
adjourned to the 24th of April, and special notices are
issued for their meeting in Dublin on that day, in or-
der to take into consideration' the propriety of dis-
avowing, on the part of the Catholic Body, any
act authorising an offer in Parliament to concede
the Vag, or any similar measure.
Tuesday se'nnight an Inspector of Taxes attended
at a Meeting of Magistrates held at Rildwick, near
Sk:pn,i, for the purpose of lodging an information
against Mr. Jour; BALDWIN, of Barnoldswick, for
shooting, not being legally qualified ; the charge,
however, was not- substantiated. Mr.
.Baldwin ob-
serving the Surveyor's hat lying on a table in the
same room where the Magistrates were sitting, and
perceiving that it did not contain a stamp, presented

The Lords of the Admiralty have ordered a light-
house to be erected on the Tuscar Rock, on the N.E.
coast of Wexford, in Ireland, which will no doubt
save the lives of many brave seamen, and preserve
the valuable property of many a merchant, so much
endangered by the navigation of that rocky coast.

this has ben officially communicated to them. The
ships that were lately fitted as temporary Prison-
,* are now put on the same pay, &c. and this is
:I,,exact system that has taken place at the other ports
7,, ere there are Prison-ships ; and by such an ar-
kigement (except the Admiralty ship in which ma-
Tines
are embarked) they are not subject to Martial
„tare—it is hoped that this willremove all difficulties
i i7gard of the militia who serve on board of them ;
arclt cannot but be gratifying to•see in those neces-

ORATORIO.—The. Oratorio, last night, was again
respectably and numerously attended, and the un-
common care taken by the Managers induces us to
hope and to believe that it will continue so to the end
of the season. The selection► was entirely new, and
afforded great variety. Madame CATALANI sung
two Italian airs in her accustomed style of astonish-1
kg execution and excellence. BRA HAM also acquit-1
ted himself with his accustomed excellence, and the
whole afforded a most selectable treat.
By the decease of Sir H. WILLIAMSON, the She-
riffalty of the County Palatine of Durham becomes
vacant. It is remarkable that it has been held 87
`years successively by the Grandfather, Son, and
Grandson, of the Williamson family, Sir W. WIL-
LIAMSON, Bart. having been appointed 7th September,
1723. It is a patent office in the appointment of the
Bishop.
A servant, late in the employ of Lord Yarbrough,
of Brokelsby, Lincolnshire, of the name of Gaseoigne,
who was a very distant relation of the late Sir Thomas

Gascoigne, has succeeded to the estates.Ofthe latters
said to be worth 820,000 a-year.
The inclosures of Milton and Mere Commons base
excited much discontent. On Saturday se'nitight
nearly 300 men from Gillingham and parts adjacent
met on Maperton-hill and Piercewood, and destroyed
long lines of the fences. A troop of horse from Dor-

Last week an extraordinary occurrence took. place
in the river Eden, near Drumbrugh. Christopher,
Robinson, an experienced fisherman, placed a floun-
der-net in that part of the river which is subject to,
the flux and reflux of the tide, and on his returning to
drag his net from the river, instead of finding fish, he
found it loaded with wild duCks.—During his absence
a flight of wild ducks had alighted below the net, and
on the flowing of the tide they were carried, from the
contraction of the channel, with great impetuosity by
the water into the net, got entangled, and were
drowned. In six tides he caught 170 golden eyed wild-
ducks, supposed to be from the Orkneys, as none of
that -- is ever seen in that part of the country.

OAMBRIDGZ, MARCH 19.
There has this day been much discussion at the
University, on the question whether a change was
speedily to take place in the dress of the Feflpw,
Commoner. There is no Gentleman, whether ge;ad:
of College or Fellow Commoner, who does ndt 'per-
ceive the necessity of the change, both as it regards
the purse of the students' parents, and the numbers
who are dqterred from entering themselves at the
University, from the excessive and unnecessary ex-
pence incurred by being among the number of Fellow
Commoners. The only dissentient voices are those
who have lately been entered, and have gowns almost
entirely new. Theseevoices, it is believed, will be the
means of postponing the alteration for some months,
though it is most probable a statute will now pass,
specifying the exact time at which the change is
to take place. The gown, it is generally understood,
is to be a silk one, entirely plain, except being bound
with a narrow border of gold lace.

CAUTION
!ARIES AND DRUGGISTS.

For the subjoined information, which we consider
ourselves as imperiously called upon to circulate as
as possible, we are indebted to a most re-
spet-table Manufacturing Chemist, Le: se HOWARD,
Esq. of PlaistAw.

A very large qt antity of Glass of Lead has, by
some means, found its way into the London market,
as G!ass of Algintony. This criminal bnifosition is sure
to be detected, in the operationio which the glass of
antimony is chiefly applied, the making of Esoctic
Tartar : but it is highly needful,.- for the sake of the
con.:U.ners of smaller quantities, as in the Vitruni Ce-
rA•uat, and Pima Antiawaii, that the following dis-
tiictive characters of the two be extensively circulated,
in order:that those, who may have bought the article
within twelve or eighteen months past, may assure
themselves .of its being genuine. The public health,
dad earts_the fives if mat patients, may be considered as at
gale cm the *tams.

-----
Glass of -Antimony has a rich brown or reddish co.
lout, with the usual transparency of coloured glasses.
The glass of 'Lead in question is of a deeper and
duller.coloui against the light, is much less transpa-
rent, and even, in some samples, quite opake.
The specific gravity of the true never exceeds 4,95,
that of the /is, ioau, or lead glass is 6,95: or, in round
iliinbers; their comparative weights are as 5 to 7.
Let twenty grains he rubbed fine in a glass mortar,
adding halt au ounce of good muriatic acid. The
true dissolves, with an hepatic smell, the solution is
turbid, but has no sediment. The spurious turns the
acid yellow, giving out an oxymurtatie odour, and
leAves much sediment. _ .

Let a little of each solution be separately drops
into water—The true deposits oxide of antimony, in
a copious white coagulum ; or, if the water has been
peviously tinged with sulphuret of ammonia, in a
fine orange precipitate—The elzurious gives no precipi-
tate in water, and in the other liquid, one of a dark
brown or olive colour.

the mean time, be abolished as the first step neces-

her with that prosperity, and fenced her round with
that strength which render her at once a protector to

7'o THE Epl7l9R OF THE STAIR.

T 1) ritz EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Ste—Seeing in your Paper of the 9th instant a
dissertation on seamen's hair, I beg leave, through
the same channel, to reply to NAUTICUS, whom I
cannot imagine to be a sailor. It is .vell known oor
British Tars have a greater reason for wearingetheir
hair long than as 'an ornament, and was long hair
out of vogue, I am confident so much cleanliness
would not be observed in his Majesty's Navy. You
will see in most of his Majesty's ships, every man
with long hair (as ..ve describe it) has his tye-mate,
and his watch below is generally devoted to combing,
cleansing, and tying the hair, beside any leisure hour
that may happen to arrive. Although I have been
many years in a British man of war, I never saw rope-
yarn made use of to tye hair, the tar of itself being
a sufficient reason against it. I wonder Nauticus, as
a tar, did not say piece of string. Were our tars to
run from every salt-water spray, not only their doubt-
ful-coloured tape,• but even their faces and rigging
would be of a much fairer complexion. Nauticus
may imagine that an officer's nine hairs, of six inches.
long, tyed in a clove-hitch, with a yard and a half
of ribbon, is very dashing ; a true tar never wishes
to represent them, therefore wears his hair in the
Sampsonian fashion ; neither does that tar think one
more brutish than the other. Was I allowed to re-
commend to such gentlemen as Nauticus, I should
do it by informing him, he would have been a greater
friend to British tars had he held his tongue ; neither
can I conceive, how our naval tactics would shine as
they have done, and continue to do, had it not been
for those brute-tailed common sailors he alludes to.
Previous to my conclusion, I beg to inform Nan-
ticus, that a British tar's uniform is of his own pur-
chase, and not like-that of soldiers, found by Govern-
ment ; he, Nauticus, must certainly be of that class
that are fonder of dress than seamanship.
