Tea CATHOLIC BILL.—Oar columns, says the
Waterford Mirror, spew that, last Tuesday, at the re-
sumed debate in the House of Lords, the mo-
tion of Lord Donoughmore for an immediate
second reading, teas obliged to give way to Lord
Mansfield's amendment of a delay of six months.
The Question is, of course, lost for this Session. We
are far from being without hope of a speedy and a
peril resurrection. As matters were going on, we are
sot sorry to have dune with it for the present.
lie Freeman's Journal, in its comments on the
same 'object, after noticing the advantages taken uf
the differences among tbe Catholics themselves on the
pleasure, observes—
" If, then, this most important measure is again to be
'imagist before Parliament, we can see no better chance
of its 'lacers's, unless the Catholic nobility and gentry of
Ireland shall resume the management of it, and unless
they shall take such steps, in unison with the hierarchy,
as sill render it impossible to misrepresent their senti-
ments or views. By domestic nomination, the Vetoists
sad anti-Vetoists would be equally silenced s and this
indent mode of episcopal appoiatment, our readers will
recollect, has been happily revived amongst us within
a tow days, by the electron of Dr. Laffan to fill the see of
Cashel.. •We trust, if any part of the Bill is found so
ohiectionable as not to be susceptible of modification,
other provisions may be substituted equally satisfactory
to the legislature."
It is confidently stated that, in the event of his
Ain esty's visiting Ireland, there will be an installation
of 'en new Knights of St. Patrick; the Lord Lieutenant
t., be created an English marquess; Lord Manners to he
created an earl ; the Marquesses of Thomond and Coin-
s ~glare to grt English baronies; Visconut Mount-Earl
to be an earl; Viscount llort to be Reel Colooney ; and
Thomas Ryder Pepper, Esq.. of braghton, county Tip-
peia y (brother-in-law of Sir Benjamin Bloomfield) to
be e.evated to a baronetage. The King will remain a
short time in Dublin, and in his tour through the coun-
try will spend a day with Mr. Pepper, anti will visit Hal-
county Clare, the mansion of Dr. Parker, in
whose demesne stands the site of Brian Borholme's pa-
lace.—(//therniots Joeraol.)

Ity an account laid before Parliament of the gross
pane! of the Stamp Duties on Fire Insurances, it
appears that the amount received for the year ending
sth of Jan.lB2l, was in England ..€586,899 2s. Od.
and in Scotland £22,944 9s. lOti. In 1790 the
smotct of the preceeding year was in England only
I I tts. 9tl. and in Scotland t 1,654 7s. 10d: and
in all the intermediate years the rise in the total
amount in both parts of the kingdom appearas so
far a• Can he inferred from the account, to have
been pretty regularly progressive.

01 MS MAJESTY'S 1111111-DAY

ing of cannon, and the usual signs of *rejoicing.
which continued throughout the day, giving to oar
Monday more than is ordinary holiday appearance.
The Royal standard was hoisted at the Castle, on
Nelson's
Monument, and at the Admiral's Office; the
Admiral's flag-ship, and his Majesty's other vessels in
Leith Roads, were decorated with colours, and at one
o'clock fired the Royal salute. The other shipping
is the Roads and Harbour also displayed their several
Bars.
At 12 o'clock the mail coaches paraded the bridges
and principal streets, and then proceeded to Leith.
The guards and coachmen being dressed in new uni-
forms, and the harness, &c. entirely new, gave the
procession a very fine effect.
The principal mode of celebrating the occasion,
however, was by a grand military field day. Between
the hours of 11 and 12 individuals of all cutsses were
seen moving in crowds towards Prince's-street, the
Mound, the Calton-bill, and those situations from
which the martial spectacle could be the most con-
veniently witnessed; and the assembling of such a''
promiscuous mass of persons afforded of itself an
abundant excitement of merriment and sport. Such
as attended who possessed carriage', or could procure
them fur the occasion, gladly availed themselves et
their protection from the pressure of the crowd, but were
not altogether secure from the varifurnt dangers by
which all who went abroad were encompassed one
carriage broke down in George-street, and the coach-
man was slightly injured, and several similar acci-
dents attended the vehicular spectators; though none
of a very serious nature that we base vet heard of.
Among the pulite and fashionable part of the com-
pany who arrived in carriages was a select set-out of
jolly tars, who drove through the cheering multitude,
and. took up a favourable position in Prince's-street,
where throughout the morning they " ever and anon"
poured out their loyalty and respect for King George
the Fourth in the " vasty" and appropriate libation.
Some parties arrived in carts ; and other carts which
happened to be passing were speedily taken possession
of by some of the crowd.
About It o'clock the whole of his Majesty's regular
forces in garrison here took up their ground on the
Castle-hill and on the Mound, and were soon joined
by the regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volur.teers and
the Edinburgh and Leith Rifle Corps, who about this
time arrived on the ground from their parade its tieorge-
street. The following was the disposition of the
forces assembled :
The 7th Royal Fialleers, commanded by Colonel
Sir Edward Blackettey, within the garrison ; the
Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, under Lieut.-Colonel
James Hope, on the parade ground ; the Edinburgh
and Leith Rifle Corps, under command of Captain
L'Amy, stationed in front of II amsay gardens ; and
the 4th Regiment of 'Royal Irish Dragoon Guards,
under the command of Colonel Francis Sherlock, ex-
tending from Ramsay gardens across the Mound, to
Prince's-street.
The royal salute having been fired by the Castle
guns, a ji•tr-de-juir. was then commenced by the right
wing, situated in Prince's-street, and was communi-
cated by a spirited running fire to that wing of the line
which terminated at the Castle.
The military cheer followed. A disaster of a most
ludicrous nature occurred in the course of the morn-
ing in Prince's-street. A mason's shed, •.ihich had
tempted as niany to mount it as could find room upon
the surface of its roof, deceitfully gave way beneath
the weight of its burden, which it thus suddenly re-
duced to the common level of spectators of the same
class. The horror momentarily felt at this alarming
accident was succeeded by a loud and general burst of
laughter, on the entire discomfited party coming out of
the rains unhurt, and appearing to he mightily amused
at this caprice of fortune.—The troops afterwards
marched to their several private para•lrs, to be dismiss-
ed ; and the Royal Edinburgh Volunteers proceeded
don n the Iligh-street, and along the North-bridge to
the Lord Provost's house in Abercromby-place, and
there deposited their colours, and were afterwards
dismissed. We regret to add that on their way to
Prince's-street, the tine martial appesrance uf the vo-
lunteer corps dial not rescue it from the tlerision of the
mob, which consisted principally of idle boys, who
pelted them with dirt. A porter's basket, cutnnionly
called a creel, was frequently Hung into the midst of
the band, whose tune was obstructed by it several
times. Asa party of the volunteers who belong to
Leith were returning to their bottles in compOlv
with the Leith Rilietuen, after being disbanded,
thee were again ontrageously assailed, when a regular
encounter took place, and several of the mob were
seised. On the way to the Cieerge-street Police-office,
to deposit their prisoners, the soldiers were pursued
and pelted, which exasperated them to such a deFree
that a file of the military faced about and ch
and in
arged
upon the populace, who stood their ground,
corning in con'act with them, the Volunteers nnfised
bayonets and cudgelled them with the butt-ends of
their muskets. Many were much hurt in the scuffle ;
several of the Volunteers were lacerated On the face
and band' by blows from stones and staves, and a rifie-
man in particular was exceedingly bruised and dis-
figured. Only about 20 of the military maintained
the conflict to the last; and these, on baring succeeded
in cosducting their prisoners within the gates of
the Police office, proclaimed their victory in several
chees of defiance. In the whole, Bor9 of the
mob who made this attack are now in custody at
the Police-office.
About four the shops and warehouses were in general
shut ; the great balls in the several churches were
rung, and the evening was spent in relaxation from
business. The streets were filled by youths and idlers-
who emitted themselves till a late hour in discharging
pistols and fireworks, to the imminent hazard of tbe
Pm and the shop-windows of those who did
not secure them in time.
In the coarse of the evening a number of sailors
carried away one of the land-waiter's boxes from Leith
shore, and drew it up to Edinburgh. After pro-
ceeding through several of the streets, with as ime
-
mense concourse of people surrounding it, they mad
stani near Abercroniby Place, and broke some

Ilassel, a German statistical writer, makes Turkey,
in Europe, on the best and most recent authorities, to
contain • population of 9,132,00. Of this populati the
on,
the 'forks do not amount to one third part, and
Greeks alone amount to about five millions. Bet then
this population professinz the Greek religion amounts
to a much greater number than S millions. For instance,
the Balgartans, about 1,390,000, a Sclavossi.: people,
are party of the Greek anti partly of the Ma n-hsoniedan
religion. The Serriatis about 964,000, also Selatc,
are all of the Greek religion. The Bosnian', attest
350.000, are also of the Greek religion. The Albanians
speak Sclavonic and the 01.1 Illytian language, Mut are
partly of the Greek and partly of the Mahmeerlan reli-
gion. The Wallacians and sfoldavians, 1,01,0110, ac-
cordin to Hassel, butt about a million awl a half in
numberg , accordiof to Mr. Wilkinson's account, are only
Greeks too by religion.
