lid only Dub, in Ireland has alroady• taken an
sppoillmhy of meaning his protest against the Bill of
Pain and huskies/ and expresood his determination
to amnia it La all ha stages. The determination of
seer a persou,living among his countrymen, and en-
couraging industry, tendering himself beloved by bit
ads of charity/ sad giving vigour to the trade and in-
stitutions tidbit country, is likely to bare weight an.,
among the higher rsolits of the Irish people
Stich seffert to the Queen, and the justice of the
country/ must be truly gratifying to Ki/gliskinen, and
consoling to Irishmen.

ARRANT:IRX R4.l7's WITHIN AND kilifOUT
• TEE gOUSE OF LoRDs.
The preparations in the teener of the House of
Lords are nearly complettult, M llPtstiltions trade
below the Bar we hate alreadritiscrlind. As soon as
strangers were admitted, Mr. Itrtinthilm, Mr. Men-
ses, Dr. Lnshington, and Mr. Tindal, wereled in by
Sir Thomas Tyrwhit, to see these preparations. Ex-
actly before the middle of the Bar the wituess is to
stand, with the interpieter anti the short-band wrft. r
oa either side of them. The spare in *bleb the dire?
are to be stationed is railed on both sides. Deviants! the
'rail on the right side is a Spice for bee Majesty's
Counsel. By the present arrangement, her Majesty's '
Counsel addressing a witness 'could have onlv a side
flew of him, and areordittilly BrougliaM6srv-
gestrd, that it would be nicesisri 'to Affix sonkesiort of
rail at the 'bark of the Bar, which wrmid keep the
witness so far backward as to enable the e:eamittin.;
Counsel to have a full view of his person. Tent sug •
gestions will be forthwith carried i7netnii
Inside the Bar, immediately beneath the sporvehe-e
the Queen's Counsel are to stand, is a small Seat f,r
her Majesty. Sir Thciiitas Tyrwhit mentioned to Mr.
Brougham that a chair would be played near this
seat for one of ber Majesty's ladies. Ile intimated
that her Majesty's wishes as to any further -arrange-
ment for her accommodation would receive instant
attention.
Sir Thomas Tyrwhit was applied to, to know if the
tientlenteu connected with the Daily Papers might
expect to have a particular plate reserved fur their
accommodation. Sir Thomas replied, that he could
not give any orders to that effect. It had been already
calculated, that the space appropriated to steamier.:
woaßconveniently contain but eighty persons, and
he said he would feel it his duty to admit indiscri-
minately the first eighty persons who would present
themselves.

It had been understood that doling► the course of
the proceedings is Parliament against the Queen,
civil power was to be alone entrusted with the prescr-
vation of order and the securing a free approach rq
Parliament. It still be seen, hon•ever, in our report
of the proceedings in the House of Lords last night,
that though the Queen has not been impeached, an
A4lllllOllllllllll 'Med to Ms Majesty, to order the at-
tetielasee of the Ottani., as is wmal in eases of i:n•
p arhment. The foresight of his Majesty's
led them to anticipate this vote ; for soldiers have, us
we have intimated, been some days stationed round
the Houses of Parliament.

We understand that a great number of special c;:n-
-! stables have been sworn in, to attend in the line of
her Majesty's approach to the House of Lords to-
, morrow, for the purpose of preserving the public
' peace. We trust, however, that upon an ',erasion s,
eolemn and important, the caution, 11 Os proper,
was unnecessary. The people are too stronely its-
pressed to be likely to commit any acts of violt IWO'.
'lke attendance of the Peers in Parliament yester-
day, was very numerous ; and among the noble Lords
present were some whose previous attendance hail been
so rare, or at so distant a period, that the doorkeeper.
were unacquainted with their persors,: and were
obliged to ask their names.
Several Peers have claimed the privilege of absent-
ing themselves from the inquiry in the House, on ac-
count of years. "It is the first time," said Lord F.
1" that I have discovered the benefits of old age."
The Peers hare been all summoned to attend in their
respective places to-morrow, and from day to day
, during the continuance of the tri..l. Aiming .other-.
I we understand, that the Honourable THosiais Mon vox
BaaalLav was summoned under the style and title of
Earl of BUKELET, and that the young. Nobleman has
declined to obey the summons, alleging that it ought to
have beer dir till to his eldest brother, 1% is s•ippoArci
that the Hasse will enforce their order, and that the
young man will have greatness thrust upon him. It is 1
carious question.
It le to be hoped that for the sake of saving appear-
ances, the King's Ministers, who are so ;seasonally im-
plicated in the success of the Bill which :hey )have in-
troduced into the Anise of Lotds, will have the grave
to chains leave of absence front the discussion, or that
' they will receive from the impartial judgment of the
House an order not to sit and vote on tho question.
They are the actual prosecutors, and may be . yes
called to account by Parliament for the ad which
they gave to his Majesty on the subject.
The northern roads are so crowded with `troops nn
• their march towards the Metropolis, that it would
seem as if the town was to be put in.a stateof blockade.
It was not untilltionday night that the mass of the
Italian witnesses reached London. At that tints. Mr.
Capper, the principal clert Id the Alien Offiee, ar-
rived from Holland, and broeight with him all the
foreigners who had left this cotetry by order of tio-
Iversus, nt. The witnesses all petkeeded np the river
by water towards Cotton-gardp, In the rear of the
Howse of Lords, and were admWl by the new cause-
way, through the Hok-in-theMall.
,' It is positively reported, says /le Moreinge 'Pose,
II that furniture has been sent into louse of the state
apartments in the Tower.
Yesterday afternoon, about sic o'clock, leer Ma-
, jests took possession of Lady !Prater*** house in

The Abu transport, lint. Chunk, agent, wile tefl
the ships which took out a number of aettiem boa
Liverpool to the new colony at the Cape off.itsed Hoye.
arrived at Spitheed ma Wednesday last, having left
the Cape the Oth June. The Weymouth 'tinnily, sag
the other' teasels which took out settlers from this
courier?, hod ail arrived safe, and the ships oat on their
return to Ragland. The settlers were in general in
rood health, and are represented as being quit. de-
-I:ghted with the elisions and soil of their new colony.
alit Majesty's ship Menai, Capt. Fairfax Moresby,
8., was stationed in Algot Bay, for the purpose of
aivinr, countenance and affording such assistance to
the settlers as might be required.
The letters received by the John, speak highly of
.the climate and prospects of the settlers. The allot-
went: of land are well wooded and watered, and being
principally on the banks of the ((real Fish River,
pleat?, of fish is easily obtained ; game in abundance,
particularly a species of grouse. The Dutch farmers
~tr: particularly civil and accommodating to the new
comers on their journey. The distance of the settle-
:. etit front the coast is about 200 miles; this journey
1, performed in waggons, with teams of sixteen bul-
k L.:, and these, with the conductors, are procured of
the Dutch boors at an easy rate. The Dutch farmers,
observe, what they can raise by industry, so can
the new comers. They raise corn of every des-
r ipi ion ; potatoes bountifully ; tobacco thrives well;
ti,e wins they make on their estates is most excellent,
• and sold at the rate of Sid. per bottle. They laugh-
ingly observe, that more Cape wine is sold in the year
by many hogsheads than is made in the whole colony.
Many of the estates produce four crops in the year,
particularly in those parts which can at pleasure be
inundated ; these inundations answer all the purposes
of the best manure, and the crops are prodigious.—
Major Pigott, brother of Captain 15gott, of the
Ro)al Navy, with his family, occupies the great-
e,t track of land as a free settler. Captain Dou-
ran Campbell, R. M. and his party. who embarked
Item Portsmouth, are localised at the Zoonder end of
the River, about t 47 miles from the Cape. In April
last the Captain was married to the flirt e of fir. 'I ur-
nri, the Master of the Weymouth stcreship, in „high
ship he embarked, 'I he following parties are
Lieutenants Charles and Valentine Oriffiths, and sis-
ters ; Lieutenant White, 79th regituent, and family,
Irons Nottingham ; Mr. Richardson and family ; and
Mr. Nieve and family, late banker, of Liverpool ; Mr.
Leeversey and family, and Mr. Heyhurst and fatelly.l
front Liverpool ; Mr. Phillips and family; Mr. Wa!ns
weight and family from Leeds ; Mr. Stanby and family,
Mr. Smith and family, front Manchester.
The arrangements of tiovernment wet.• must
n!: 1 every attention was paid to the comforts of the,
.resales while on board. They were plentifully sup-1
p iel with port wine and sago, excellent beef, pork,
rd biscuit ; even mustard, salt, vinegar, needles,
&c. were not forgotten. lb' landing they pro-
,,red the best fresh beef, at three-halfpence per lb.— I
(a.vernment willingly supplies you at sixpence a head !
t a pound and a ballot' bread, and three quarters
u: a pound of beef per day. They also ,apply a 490 d '
trot; for two guineas.
Provisions of every kind are amazingly cheap ; there
is a great want of waggons, and it is strongly recom-
iner.ded that they should be brought out from England I
as on landing, teams of oxen are procured at an ease I
I've, and you get out on your journey immediately. Poi-
I J .:ers of heads of parties are each, at the expiration of
,•ears allowed 30 acres of cultivated land, and by a "
•
p: —.months. arrangement oftiovernment, a man dying
• I's servitude can bequeath to his family or friend'
• propartion of land as he is entitled to, fur which
-rot most of the settlers make their will on landing.'

C -:•era! Dunkin. the Governor of the Cape, laid the
I': ....:Lst attention to his countrymen. A premium of
I .r, guineas is announced for the farm that sends the
,tit maricetable produce of its land to the Cape. !
t huugh the Dutch boors are illiterate, they are good I
n.aur:d ; as an instance, we understand that the wife •
of a Dutch farmer, seeming anxious for an indifferent !
gold watch, it was presented to her, and next day, a I
beautiful team of 16 oxen, neatly yoked, 144,11 sent as
a return.
