IRON TRZ JOURNAL DTI NWT*, APRIL 144

The troubles in Catalonia are assuming a serious
complexion. It can no longer be doubted that as ex-
tenni'', conspiracy is organised in favour of Charles
V. and. though the factious have already been repulsed
on two or three points, there is every reason to believe
that they are far kora renouncing their projects. The
journals from the south, and the letters which we receive,
concur in observing, that if tranquillity be net soon re.
stored in that province, so favourable, as is well known,
to partial insurrections, our troops will stand ionised of
a considerable reinforcement.

We have never ceased to believe in the triumph of
Mr. Canning. Our predictions are completely fulfilled.
The English Journals of the !Bich, which have reached
us by express, announce that Mr. Canning is nominated
Prime Minister and rust Lord of the Tressary, °Sees
which are ordinarily united.
.. The retirement of Mr. Peel is,that which has non sur-
prised us in the.revolation whidhbasjust taken place in
the English Cabinet. We never believed in the ealstence of
a serious rivalship between Mr.Pael and Mr Canning. and
an article which we have quoted above from an English
Journal, proves that the general opinion in England
did not recognise, as see have repeatedly stated, any
difference between those two Ministers, eacept on the
question of Catholic Emancipation. Peshisps Mr. Peel,
oat of delicacy, thought himself obliged to follow on
this occasion the fortunes of his ancient patron. Lard
Eldon. The next arrivals, in informing us, wi!bout
doubt, of the choice of the successors of the Ministers
who have resigned, will fix our judgment in reaps.ct to
the causes of their retreat. But we affirm, already, that
in France, as in England. every wise man will concur
lin rejoicing at the elevation of Mr. Canning; it is ese
1 triumph of rational ideas throughout Europe.

The highly important question of the English Mi.!
nistry is at length dueitkd; the 'question was is corp.:,
plicated one; it was to be determined whether the
English Ministry should be Anti Catholic orimpsrtial?
Lord Wellington and Ms. Peel felt•they could no longer
support the burden of an Anti National Adoninis-1
traxion, and they yielded place to Mr. Canning. This
is an example by which our Ministers would do well to
profit. If our congvegationists bad any modesty, they
would rejoice to see Mr. Canning, the advocate for the
Emancipation of the Irish Catholics, at the helm of
affairs; but then Mr. Canning protects the Constrtu-
tiomil liberties of the Portuguese—that is the crime
which our religion cannot pardon.
FROM THZ

Great joy to the camp of the Liberals; great joy to
the &See of the kfoik, and the Cabinet of M. deVillele !
Mr. Canning is 'marinated Prime Minister ! The whole
of the men who yet preserve any round ideas of order and
aristocracy,have given in their resignation ! Mr. Canning
has been called on to form a new Ministry ; it is thought
that he will recall Lord Granville, the Ambassador at
Paris, his most intimate creature, and that he will give
to Mr. Hustisson, the repie.entative, par excellexce, of
the radical party of England, a more elevated position.
,At all events, the retreat of some of Mr. Canning's col-
leagues, is a very remarkable fact, and •one which
mutts the spirit In which the new Ministry s ill
be formed.

At ten o'clock. Mr. Hunt tame into the room, and.

Mr. Hour moved, as an amendment, that the rate be
raised to 2s. abd was seconded by Mr. Thorne. of

The amendment was 'Godly enclaimed against,and Kr.

to compel the parishioners. by the payment of a highs

without a division, andtbe originalvesolution carried.

Mr. HUNT called fcr the p—roduction of the account-
books of Mr. Mackay, the master of theWorkhou e. an 4
.the baker's book, and entered into a long detail of the
proceedings which took place at a meeting of the
Auditors, appointed last year. of which he was 0ne....
When he came into that meeting, he said, the other
Auditors had passed the butcher's account, withom
reading a single item of it, and the baker's was about
to be passed in the same way, when he remonsttatvd,
and begged to know if there were any check kept on
the items of the account ? the book of Mr. Mackay, the
master of the Workhouse, was then produced, in which
the daily delivery was contained, and the accents were
found balanced to a shilling. The baker's daily book
was then produced ; and, on comparison of the fir*
quarter with the master's book, thirteen or foorteci
errors were detected, most of which were against du,
parisb. When they again met, the books were produced,
the second quarter's accounts gone into, and not an
lerror of an ounce of bread, or a f action of a farthing
could be detected. But, said Mr. Hunt, though my
eyes ate not quite so good as formerly, I easily dia.
covered numerous alterations and erasures in 'heal
which I pointed out to the Auditors, of whom the ma-
jority assented to my views.
Mr. Tuxes,, one of the Overseers,oobjeeted to their
production, on the ground that they had heea aimed,
examined by the Auditors, of whom a majority had cet-
tified their correctness.
Mr. Coarse appealed to Mr. Taylor, who was now'
present, it the conduct of Mr. Hoot at the meeting of
Auditors, had not been most ungentlemanly. He came
there and asked, io What does that fellow (meaning Mr.
Carter) want here r and ended by calling btu) a black-
guard. Was this the sort of man to whom the parish-
ioners would pin their faith ? He attributed Mr. Hunt's
opposition to their having refused to postpone a Vestry
until his return horn some electioneering fracas, in which
he was then engaged—(Laughter.) Let the accounts be
referred to a Conimittee to report to a General Vestry.
Most of the.persons present then quitted the Church,
and left theChurchwardens,Qverseers, and Vie try Cie' k,
and about a dozen others, to settle the dispute.

LAMBETH VESTRY MRETING.
DREADFUL UPROAR.

Yesterday, at eleven o'clock, the Vestry Meeting for
the election of Churchwardens, Overseers, Sidesmes,
Guardians of the Poor, Commissioners of the Courts of
Requests, &c. &c. for the Parish, was held in iheSchool-
room, Lambeth•gseen; the Rev. D. D'Ovt.Y, Rector,
in the Chair.
After the election of the other Parish Officers,
Mr. FRANCIS, upon the election of the MAtron of the
Workhouse, complained that a great pan of her tine
was occupied in providing dinners for the G nilrmen
of the Select Vestry. This, too, "Lai at a vet y suinous

expense.
Mr. BAILEY said, upon the Thursday in each week,
a vast fund was distiibuted to the pauper pool by a
number of Gentlemen, who did not receive cne shilling
for their attendance during the whole of the day, and it
was certainly but fair that some refreshment shou!cl be
provided for them. What would the Meeting suppose
that sumptuous dinner composed of ? Why, only a
plain joint and a puddirg; every other expense, even
the beer which was drank, was paid for by them.
Captain TUCK had received a letter through the Two-
penny Post, mentioning not only the enormous exec s,
but the long continuation of it at those dinne. panics.
