MR. ATTWOODS LETTER.

In another part of our paper, oar readers will futi a
letter from Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD. Twit or three re-
marks on it are necessary. He says that I have ascribed
the opposition, made at the London Tavern (the opposi-
tiv. to Blr:Patt.'s Bill), to him when I ought to have
ascribed it to Mr. MATTIII43 ATTWO9D, who is a
Member .of Parliament. The fact is, that I, at fiat,
did ascribe it to Mr. ,MATTIIIAS ATTWOOD ; but changed
my man in consequence of two or three people writing
to me to tell me that it was Mr. Twostas Arrtroork—
This is my way: I listen to advice with so much pa-
tience; I follow the opinions of others so readily; that
am often led astray. I have invariably found that
when I stick to my own teat I was right, and that when
I did not, I was wrong.—As to the matter of Mr. Arr.
W00D.3 letter I must pay more attention to it another
time. I must observe, however, even here, that his mode
of proceeding would create much MOTe confusion than
mine; notwithstanding its srcresy and its slyness.—
At any rate, his is a plan fur reducing Mc interest of
the Debt.

The Austrian Loan will be issued in January, and most
of the money, it is said, will be applied to the payment of
the Debt due by Aultria to this country.

The Orifigneme, a paper published in Paris, under
Russian auspices. has been vindicating the character of
Alexander, against the English Radicah." In this
odd defence, it is contended, that the Russian Emperor
interferes in the affairs of Spain and Portugal, oat of
mere personal friendship, and without soy sinister
motives whatever; and we are told that the royal system
of aggroodisement, foroas no part of the policy of the
allies. Indeed! Has not Austria been aggrandized, by
the po 'n of Naples, Sicily, and the Italian states?
Has not Russia been aggrandized by the seizora of Poland?
Has not the recent invasion of Spain been to the aggreser
dizement of France? Wrtmay be informed that the Allies
have now done all they wished to do; but are we to believe
them ? When Austria attacked Naples and Piedmont,
it was declared that no attack was nieditated against
Spain ; hulas soon as France had arranged the means, that
attack was made. It is now said that South America will,
not be attacked ; bat when the meals are ready, the decla
ration will be forgotten.

There is nothing of more importance in theFreneb papers
last received, than the rquabbles respecting the dissolution
of the Chambers, and the proposed establishment of a Sep-
tenniil Chamber of Deputies, instead of renewing the
Chamber yearly by fifths. Some of the French royalists
are said to be averse to this measure ; but if they are.
they are only noviciates in the science of corrupt repro.
ieniation ;:apd a few years experience will teach them tbat
to min s, free state, and to establish a despotism, either
financial, or personal; nothing is half so well qualified as a
Septennial Parliament. With, respect to chile .peseast
system, it is pearly as bai as it can be. The Ilkeston am

WEEKLY REGISTER or WEATHER.

This week, though variable in temperature, has been re-
markably steady in every other respect. It commenced with
frost, but with an atmosphere serene and unusually clear, con-
sidering the season; and though altar two days, the weather
became mild, and anoiher frost and thaw succeeded, thy* al-
terations were unaccompanied with rain. Yeiterday a brisk
north west wind sprung up. which has continued. and, so far
as present circumstances Indicate, promises to continue; but
though somewhat keen, the Mercury in the therao.nater last
night was not below the frrezbig point. The only rah in the
Runge this week, amounted to 6 hundredths of an inch, which
fell last Saturday evening.

Veal, in which, and in Mutton and Lamb much business
was dose, at pricer, varying but little from those at
Ardndel the day before.
At Maidstone Fair on Friday se'unight there was a
considerable quantity of horses, chiefly of the 1/aLC kind ;
good riders were in great demand, but of these there were
scarcely any in the fair. Few purchases were made, and
What were effected were at high prices. There were a
middling supply of lean stock, as also of sheep and
.lambs, but the sale was exceedingly dull.
Llandilo fair,on Saturday fart. was supplied with an
uncommon number of cattle, the shoW of which was. so
considerable as to extend a greater length than has ['eve
seen for rogue years. A great neinber of horned csllts
were sold, but did not support the prices which the late
rise had encouraged their owners teexpeet. (i.ao i horses
-were much in request and sold uncommonly well.
At Lantwit Major fair, on Mendsy last, the best Lamle
were sold fur 16s. a piece, and few under 14)s. Fat sheep
.bore a respectable price.
A score of sheep passed through this town* yesterd
with their vear'sgrowth of woo! on. They were pur.

CATHOLIC AFFAIRS.

The Cork Chronicle of Friday says :
" We have not perceived any Indignation of kn i Men-
don in this part of the Kingdom to hold Catholic
Meetings."
The Catholics of Cork -are right—never before were
Catholic politics brought forward so unseasonably.—
Never was the agitation of the Question likely to do
less good, or more harm. IVe are actually in the midst
of Irish business: in the name of common sense, let the
thing go on without our operating a diversion for the
Orangemen on this side of the channel.
It is now too late to put off the proposed Meeting, al-
though indeed we 'ecollect that Meetings of "the Catho-
lics of Ireland" have been deferred with very little cere-
mony. A vote of thanks to Mr. Plunkett is sell de-
served, and ought to be given. Another similar vote to
Sir Francis Burdett, by name, and the other friends of
Civil and Religious Liberty in the House of Commons,
for their conduct on all occasions, when the affsirt of
Ireland have come under discussion, is equally proper
aid well deserved. As to differences of opinion between
the advocates of Catholic freedom, the Catholics, unless
they mean to show themselves intolerant, have nothing
to they
with that branch of the subject. But let the Ca-
tholirs--le t Irishmen of all sects and parties, who wish
to rid their country of the worst of its grievances, ac-
knowledge that they owe the present proceedings, at the
Bar of the House, to Sir FRANCIS BCRDETT, and those
who seceded with him on the discussion of the Catholic
Question.
After these two votes of thanks shall have passed the
Aggregate Meeting, we expect to sec an adjournment
sine die, proposed and carried.

and-he who held 1t could not impute to the Omnipotent Being
a desire to ponlsh those who, in this view, could not be
considered responsible for their actions.
Mr. Pen, said, that he was not prepared to go a
single step with the H►nottrable li•ntle:uan. lie object-
ed t•t the motion on th• gronnsi of form, as the House was
ant in the habit of adopting Resolutions upon inch sub-
jects. If the Honourable Gentleman was of opinion that
the law which punishes blasphemy was a bad one, be
ought to move for its repeal. It was tend that there
might be cases in which it would be unwise to put the
law in force; a fair discretion must be allowed on such
occasions; but even if that discretion was proved to have
bees abutted, if could not justify them in doing away
with the law. For his own part he never would consent
that persons should be enabled to attack religion without
being liable to any pnnishm•nt.
Mr. HUMS replied hrietiv, anti intimated that it was
not his intention to divide the House.
The motion was then cegatired without a division.
Mr. GRATTAN moved an Address to his Majesty,
that be Might be pleased to order that immediate pro-
ceedings at law, or otherwise, might be taken to recover
the sums slue by the Corporation of Dublin on the Pipe
Water and Metal Main Rates; and also to inquire and
ascertain by what right or title they presume to hold the
Pipe Witer Estates.
Mr. SPRING RICE seconded the motion.
Mr. GOULBURN said, that the Government of Ire.
land were willing to do justice between all perties,Fie could
not decide (for himself) on the conflicting testimony that
was produced before him.

Mr. Stogden brought up (row the Housed Copieions,

Churches Bill. and the Irish Insurrection Bill.
Air. Kerniede brought up the Scotch Juries Bill, from
the House of Common..
The Billa for the Amendment of the Criminal Laws
were cocomitted4 and ordered to be reported to-morrow.
Lord CALTHORPE presented a 'petition from a per-
son armed KirEard Chapman, a brewer et Bagnigge
Wells, a gaiest the Cheap Beer
Lord ELLENBOROUOH said he bad two petitions
to present from brewers; one was from a brewer at
Camberwell, against the Bill; the other petition was
from a brewer at Whitechapel.
The Bill was ordered to be committed pro Area, and
the Report ordered to be received on Friday next.
Lord LIVERPOOL said he should propose that it be
read a third time on Friday, and moved that the Lords be
summoned ror that day.—Ordered.
The second reading. of the Irish Insurrection Bill,
WAS on the motion of the'Earl of Liverpool, fixed for
Friday.
Aft.-r some remarks, however, from Lord HOLLAND,
it was understood that nu discussions should. take place
OD that day.

APPELLANT JURISDICTION.
Lord MELVILLE rose to call the attention of the
House to the Bill for appointing Commissioners of Ap-
.peals from Scotland, which was then before the House.
He totally differed from what had been said on the pre-
ceding day against trial by Jur; ; and he denied the as-
sertion that the introduction of trial by Jury in Scotland
had failed; for the very reverse was the case.
The liar! of LAWAIRDALE said he was astonished
when be heard it said, that She trial by Jury had failed
in Scotland. On the contrary. the new system had
been productive of the greatest benefits, and bad consi-
derably diminished the number of Appeals in that
House.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he wished it to be un-
derstood that there was no intention of making any al-
terations in the law of Scotland; but it was absolutely.'
necessary to alter the mode of process in that law. The
first
.great object was to separate the law from the fact;
and if that waslooe, they should know what to decide'
upon. In this country a trial was carried on by argo'
meat in open Court, and the object of that House should
be, to introduce a similar system in Scotland. It should
be their.ohject to reduce written pleadings as much as
possible;: and let the world know what was going on,
but if the pleadings were all written, the people would
•
neser read them. -
The House then resolved itself into a Committee on
the Bill, which was ordered to be reported to morrow.

INDEPINORNCE.A celebration of a very novel character,
took plade In the town of Portland, on the 4th inst. Four
married ladles met together for the purpose of celebrating the
day. and after breakfast they repaired to their wheels, and
actually spun and reeled twenty runs of woolen yarn, making
34,000 yards or 90,000 feet, besides each one having an infant
child to take care of during the time. Tna quantity of yarn
produced is not so much to be considered, as the occasion which
called forth the praise-worthy exertion.

POLICE OFFICE, CARLISLE.

Under this bead the Carlisle Journal states, that on
Monday last air. Vincent Clearge Dowling, a reporter for
the proprietors of the Morning Chronicle, was brought up
is custody of Ruthven, the liuw•street officer, under a
warrant granted by Rowland Fawcett, Esq. on a charge of
having stolen from the Coffee-house Coach Office, in Carlisle
on the 1311. September last, a parcel directed to "The
Editor of the Times, London," containing a report of the
speeches, &c. at the dinner given in Ulasgow, on the I Ith
September, to Messrs. Brougham and Denman. Mr.
Dowling was attended by Mr. Saul, as his legal adviser,
and Mr. Henson of London attended on behalf of the
proprietors of the Tiises.
he report of the proceedings in the paper above men-
tioned, being of considerable extent. (little less than two
columns) for which we have not room, it must suffice for
us to state that after the parties in support of the charge
bad given their evidence, it appears, the Magistrates retired
for a few minutes, and asked Mr. Dowling if he had any
bail with him. Mr. Dowling replied he bad not, and then
proceeded in his defence ; after the detail of which, the
Journal thus proceeds :
Mr. Henson then said that he had no wish to take any
advantage of Mr. Dowling's situation; if Mr. Saol would
bail his client, he should be satisfied, and ample time should
be given for preparation for his defence. He would not
urge a trial At the first sessions if Mr. D. wished for more
time; he would even consent to defer it till the assizes,-if
it was any object.
At the request of Mr. Dowling and Mr. Saul, who then
entered into recognizance to appear next day at the Ses-
sions, it was then agreed that the bill of indictment should
not be preferred against Dowling till the next afternoon,
at which time they promised to give a decided answer.
whether the trial should be put off, or not. The witnesses
were also bound over to appear.
We understand that-the next day, at the Penrith Sessions,
Mr. Dowling preferred a bill of indictment against his
prosecutor for I, conspiracy, and the Brand Jury having
also heard the evidence on the bill preferred against him
by them for the theft, ignored both bills,

6A3:E QUESTION.

FROM THE HAMPSHIRE TELEGRAPH.)
On Saturday last the Petty Sessions were held at the
Town Hall, Romsey, before lleorge Eyre, Esq. and Sic
George Henry Rose, Justices. Among other game eases.
&c. occurred one of more than ordinary public interest.
It was as follows :—A gamekeeper of the name of Thresher,
in the service of the Right lion. Viscount Palmerston,
preferred a charge against a man named Gifford, for
poaChing. It appeared from the evidence of the keeper
himself, that, suspecting the defendant of having
game about his person. he stopped him in a
publc road, known by the nan.e of Mildson lam e,
near Broadlands, and demanded to search his person,
which Gifford resisted, threatening to draw his kni`e on the
witness, if lie attempted it, but utfering, at the same time,
to accompany him to the Magistrate's office. On their
way they entered a public-house, when the poacher drew
from under his jacket a pheasant and gave it to the keeper.—
'Ms was the material part of the case, and as far as the
poacher was coseerned, sufficiently strong against him, hut
it appearing, from the testimony of the prosecutor, that
the accused h never been seen offlhe public road, and that
he was on. il 'Men stepped, the presiding Magistrate, Mr. Es• at,
with his wonted judgment and discrimination, took the oppor-
tunity of reprobating the irregular and illegal conductor the
keeper, in presuming to arrest any person in a public way
on bare suspicion of his being in possession of game.—
After reading him a severe lecture, telling him that he
ou:7;lit to have distinguished between the case of a person
found in a cover, or is the fields, and one walking the
road, he threatened to dismiss the case altogether ; but the
fact of the Defendant's having the bird in his possession.
&c., determined the Bench, after some deliberation to
convict him, hut no sentence was passed. The Defendant
was severely reproved by Sir U. H. Russ, for his un-Eri-
glieh threat of using a knife.
