AT a late deputation from the inhabitants Of

of the Royal Family, TO present n medal in

about two years old, taking the medal in his
little hands, instantly recognized the portrait
OF his father, who. kiss ng it, said, 'boor baoa"
1t was a touching spectacle-that of this roy.
al orphan, whose intelligence, though feeble,
evinced already perception of his loss. Ma

also recognized the portrait, and glued it 10
her little lips. The persons presen: were

Il appears from the London papers brought
by the ship Scipio, which has arrived st Nor.
folk from Liverpool, that the motion of Mr..
Canning, made in the British House IL Com.
mons, for the admission Of Catholic peers in.
to the House of Lords, was carried by a ina.
jorily of five, in an nnosusIly full house, the
number of menb-rs present being four hun
dred and ninety tbTee. Doe OF the London
editors remarks, that The probability is that
the motion will be lost in the House Of
Lords; and he treats the success of IL, in the
Commons, as matter of little interest 70
the great body of Catholics. He may be
right as to the first point, but certainly errs
to the second. The ad mission of the
Catholic peer. would be decided victory
over that prejudice, which now, in the guise
of religious and constitutional scruples. forms
the chief obstacle to complete equality of
civil and political rights, The principles Up.
on which the Peers would be restored to Par
lament. must be applicable to the case of all
their Catholic brethren, and their presence
in the House OF Lords would be an accession
of strength TO the Catholic csnse in general,

manifested to connect the waters Of the

Iature have directed survey to be

wide, g discharges its waters north
wardly, by a small but constant stream,
into the Cuyahoga river aud Lake e.
rie. From the south end continues
the Cleaveldnd Herald or head of
this lake, to the Tuscarawas or main
branch Of the skingum, the distance
is about three feet above the level of
the Portage Lake. From The surveys
aad levels already taken hy MIR. Ged-
DIES, it is found that the waters Of the
Tusearawas and Of the TailmadSe
branch, or Little Cuyahoga. possesses
sufficient elevation TO be taken into this
Lake, which may he considered as the
summit level between the Cuyahosa
and the Muskingum rivers"
MFR. g. has also ascertained that the
waters OF Wolf Greek, branch Of the
Muskingnm, and the waters of the
main branch Of the Cuyahoga, may
without much difficulty be taken into
the same Summit level.-He is now a.
