It is currently reported that one or two of the masters,
from some unaccountable cause or other, keep a number
of these unionists in constant employment, and these are
subsidising the discharged men. We really hope the
report is not true, for there can be but one opinion on
such conduct. Should it unfortunately happen to be so,
we are compelled, in justice to the other masters, as well
as to the public at large, to say that such pugnacity would
be ridiculous if it were not dangerous, and that it is
highly reprehensible, more especially as the parties
spoken of are highly respectable in their profession.

The Duke of CUMBERLAND has at length had an op-
portunity of vindicating himself in the face of the world,
and exposing the foul and malignant calumnies, invented
for party purposes by the base traducers of the Royal
Family, and actively circulated by the Times, and other
unprincipled newspapers. His Royal Highness having
been enabled to fix upon a distinct charge, fearlessly went
into court as would the humblest subject of the KING,
and appealed to Sir THOMAS DENMAN and a jury of Lon-
don citizens, and he established his innocence by a body
of evidence, arid by witnesses of such unimpeachable
character, that not a loop remains to hang a doubt on. In
short it is a most decisive and triumphant vindication of
a proud, too generous, too forgiving, but deeply injured
man, whose greatest offence is that he is the son of

GEORGE the third, the brother of WILLIAM the fourth,
and a consistent Tory. For .the particulars of the
trial we refer to the report under the proper head.

LONDON LATEST NEWS.

Wednesday Evening, Half-past Seven o'clock.
We have had two reports current to-day, neither of which we
can trace to any. authentic source. The one is, that despatches
have been received from Don Pedro, announcing that, on the
12th instant, his fleet, accompanied by transports with troops,
sailed from Oporto, to make an attempt on Lisbon. Ihe
second report was, that an overland despatch had arrived
,from India. With these exceptions, there has been a more
than usual dearth, even of rumour, both yesterday and to-day.
In the meantime the savage tone adopted by the ministerial
press is not unworthy of notice ; but that of the Times far out-
runs its contemporaries, and, in its fury, does not even spare
the party it purports to support. From all this it may be in-
ferred that there is "something rotten in the state of Denmark,"
and the administration may be considered as merely dragging on
in more senses than one a merely weekly existence. The consul
market has been rather flat, and the quotation for the account
has closed this afternoon at 893 to 90. The various foreign
bonds afford little to notice; Brazilian, in consequence of the
-recent intelligence of the revolt at Bahia, have been as low as
66, and are now at 66,-1- to 674 ; Belgian bonds are 911, 92,
and Dutch at 491; Russian are 104;} a ; Spanish 19i; and
Portuguese scrip at 24 2 discount.
We have accounts from Quebec to-day to the 28th ult. They
announce the arrival of the following slips from Liverpool:—
Champlin, Havelock, Elizabeth Ogilvy, Sion Hill, Richards,
and Adelaide, Pentleget.

ROMAN CATHOLIC MARRIAGES.

On this bill being called in its place amongst the oril.?rs o
the day,
Serjeant PERRIN said he hoped he should not be requested
to postpone the second reading of it. • -
Colonel PERCEVAL said it was certainly to be wished that a
lighter penalty than the one now imposed on the'iuterferace
of. Catholic priests should be inflicted. Howevera.he hoped
the hon. and learned member would not persevere in moving
the second reading of the bill to-night, for the reason that he
confessed he (Colonel Torrens) was not prepared to meet the
question, as he had not perused the bill itself.
