GLAMORGANSHIRE. iCAnnivy.-A fine new and powerful steam packet pf 60 horse power, the Nautilus, commenced running between Cardiff and Bristol yesterday, and will con- tinue running from each place every alternate day. She is of very easy draught of water, and the passage rateh way will not average more than three or four hours. Our next week's paper will contain a regular account of her sailing for the Vetnainder of the month AIAIT rAX.-Glaworgaw Petition.—In our report of parliamentary proceedings of Monday week we stated that Mr. Dillwyn had presented a petition from CJ'anioiganshire for the repeal of the matt tax, bearing "oOO Miniatures. We understand the number was only ,ai)out 500. Our statement was taken from a respect- able London print. From the good sense with which "the petition is framed, and the ability with which it is drawn up, we should have expected that it would have -been more jiuinerously signed; and we can only ac- count for it not being so front the circumstance of its not having been made sufficiently public. It is a useful custom in London, and in most parts of England, when petitions of great public importance are proposed, to advertise the meeting and the petition agreed to by which means alone the public can be sufficiently ap- prized of that in which they are so much interested.

There was a good supply of lean stock, which went at good prices. There were but few fat cattle, which went at from 5d. to 52l per ib. SHIP OWNER'S SOCIF-TY.-At a meeting lately held at Swansea, an association was formed, under the title of the Swansea Ship Owners Society, for the purpose of protecting the shipping interests of their port, and -of co-operating with similar societies in other parts of the kiBgdom in protecting the interests of British shipping generally. The Chairman, Mr. J. Richardson, in opening the business of the meeting, adverted forcibly and judiciously to the mischief brought on British shipping by Mr. Huskisson's reciprocity (?) treaties." Most heartily do we wish our Sdwansea neighbonrs success in the patriotic ob- jects of their association. MERTHYR.—IVain Fair.—The business and amuse- ments of Wain Fair took place on Monday last, when there was a considerable show of horses, ofcows rather a large supply, and of pigs a great abundance. All sold at rather good prices; though of cows the sale was not so extensive as might have been wished, and of pigs it was, in proportion to the number in market, very small. The horses sold best. In consequence probably of the fineness of the weather, the resort of company was very numerous, more so, we are informed, than it has been for some years. The capacious booths, "ellined wittibeefaiid 11 cw: w da", were con. stantly crowded, and the vivacity of the inmates, after their long ascent to this Monut Pleasant of the 12th of May, was evidently recruited by the preparations there made for that purpose. The whole day passed off with great pleasure, as far as we hear, to all parties concerned, and this scene of rural amusement and re- laxation afforded the inhabitants of many miles around all the famed pleasures of a country fair, with none, that have come to our knowledge, of its drawbacks. IROX TRAD?.— We have no alteration to state in the price of iron since our last, but the large stocks -onlinue moving off. PETITION FOR DUE OlailFRVANCEOIF THE: SABBATH. —A petition to both bouses of the legislature for mea- sures to advance this most import! nt object, liaslately been framed and most respectably signed in Merthyr. It has been forwarded for presentation, in the House of Peers, to the Right Rev. the Bishop of t tandaff, and in the House of Commons, to our honourable representative, Nlr. Guest. INFLUENZA-—We are sorry to find that the influ- enza has made its appearance in the town, accompa- nied with its usual symptoms; but from what we can learn it has not appeared in a very severe form, and we hope from the natural salubrity of the place that the malady will not continue among us. AFFECTING ACCIDE.NT.-Yesterday morning the children of a poor woman, named folie-, were playing at Plymouth Works, near a tram road which comes down a considerable declivity, when some trams heavily laden appeared moving rapidly down the descent. The mother, anxious to rescue her little ones from their perilous situation, sprung forward utterly regardless of her own safety, and, her foot becomIng entangled with something on the ground, she fell at the moment that the trams came down, which, passing over her body, caused instant death. This humble victim of maternal feelings has left a numerous offspring to lament their loss. No blame attaches to the driver, at. from the declivity of the place, it was impossible that the trams could be stopped. A WELL FURNISHED LARDEit.-A gentleman's gamekeeper in an adjoining parish lately shot a kite as she was leaving her nest. He had the curiosity to examine the contents of the nest, and found them to consist of a rabbit, a half eaten rat, the bind quarters of a puppy, and a pig's tail- MERTHYR POLICE-—Committed to Brecon House of Cotrection May 17, Thomas Richards, baller, in the employ of Wm.

MONMOUTHSHIRE. TURN-OUT OF THE COLLIERS.—We have great • pleasure in stating, that, through the vigorous exer- tions of the magistrastes, the disturbances among the colliers, at Gcllygaer and at Rumney, have been sup- pressed, and the misguided men have returned to their work; we earnestly hope, with the prospect of an im- provement in the trade and an advance in wages,

¡ BRECONSHIRE. We understand that a petition from the yeomen and farmers of the hundred of Merthyr, in the county of Brecon, praying for the total repeal of the malt tax, is in course of -signature, and that it is intended to forward the same to Colonel Wood, the member for the county, for presentation to the Commons House of Parliament. THE ESTABLISHED CHijitcti-Among the persons admitted to fthe order of Deacons at the recent ordination in our Cathedral, by the Bishop of Exeter, was Mr. Wm. Greenhood, of Torquay. This gentleman is advanced in yearr,, and in that place-had built a dissenting meeting house, in the Independent interest. He was also very popular in the town on his return from the ordination he stated his reason for it, and announced to hit; congregation that he had conformed to the Established Church; adding Also, that it would be pleasing to him to find that his usual hearers were desirous of joining the same communion— and, informing those that might not feel disposed to this, that? the sums received from them for seat money, were ready to be returned About half his congregation remain with him and. it is understood, he is about to add a tower to hi3 chapel, to endow it, and to solicit from the Bishop that he will be pleased to constcrate it.-Eireter Flying M——————a———-I—a— FAIEts.At Shrewsbury, an over-abundant supply ) -of fat cattle occurred. and many purchases were made at 5|d. per lb. Some of the primest lots went a little higher. A pair of splendid buffaloes bred by Earl Powis, were exposed in the fair, estimated to weigh 14 score a quarter, for which the sum of 28t. each was a<ked. Store cattle were rapidly purchased at considerably advanced prices. Sheep, fit for the butcher, brought 7d. peT lb.; Stores were sold at high prices. Pigs were also a shade higher. In the cheese fair, prices did not vary from our last report; scarcely any butter was offered. Bacon sold at Sid. to 61d. per lb. a^cordinw to dryness; and Hamslit 6d.

HONORABLE TRIBUTE.-It may be in the recollec- tion of our readers, that owing to the exertions of Captain John Davies, and the crew of the Grace,"the Betsy Peggy, wrecked of tlliydd, on the 4th Novem- ber, 1831, were saved from destruction. To mark the sense the inhabitants of that neighbourhood entertain of the humane and intrepid conduct of Capt. Davies, a subscription was entered into for the pur- chase of a cup, which on his return to England, Capt. Davies was informed of by the following letter from Lord Mosfyu S I it,- Being requested by the suhscriber. o present to' you the accompanying cup as a mark of their approbation for your highly meritorious exertions in the preservation of four seamen, wlto were in a state of imminent peril, and would have lost their lives but for the timely assistance of yourself and gallant comrades, I beg to add my personal thanks; and to expreis in -the fullest niantier, the sent:- ments which I entertain ofacondnctso dauntless-, generous, and becoming the character of a British seaman.

It will be recollected that this celebrated and unfortunate princess passed many years years of her captivity in this mansion. The statue is by Westmaeotf. SIR FRANCIS BUILDF.TT.-Tlic committees of the parishes of St. John and St. Margaret had a meeting on Friday night, at which it was unanimously resolved to call upon Sir Francis Burdett to resign his seat for Westminster; and to convene a public meeting on the subiect, if he docs not give in his resignation within a week. RETURN OF DISSENTERS TO THE ESTABLISHED CIIUReti.-A numerous and flourishing congregation of Dissenters in Edinburgh, under the care of a popular minister, have unanimously resolved to solicit union with the Established Church, as a Chapel of Ease. and are now taking the requisite steps for accomplishing this object. And another Dissenting congregation, in the same city, still more numerous, and at present without a pastor, have also resolved with the exception of three of their number, to return to the bo^om of the Establishment. WHIG FREEDOM OF ELECTION.—Government,and all the friends ofgovcrnment madethe most strenuous exer tions in favour of Sir John Cam Hobhouse. The Marquess of Westminster and the Grosvenors did not themselves, we believe, canvass personally, but the steward, butler, &c. of the noble marquess spared neither threats nor promises we hear among the shopkeepers.— Guard,an and Public Ledger. BEER HOUSES.-—A rule was refused in the Common Pleas on Monday, to set aside a verdict for 51. (sum claimed 28[, 5s ) for liquor supplied to defendant by the keeper of a beer house in Cheshire, named Wynne, while defendant was in a state of intoxication. Baron Vaughan, in giving judgment, said he thought the plaintiff had obtained as high damages as he was entitled to; and that the verdict of the Jury would have a beneficial effect on the beer-lieuse keepers. "During the late assizes there was not a county through which he travelled in which the grand jury had not made presentments against these beer shops as nuisances. —Chester Courant, A CONTRAST.—The Wellington Administration, in two years reduced upwards of four thousand places; and in one year repealed taxation to the amount oifour millions sterling; taking care at the same time to maintain a clear bo â fide sinking fund of two millions, nine hundred thousand pounds. The Grey administration in three years has rcduced thirteen hundred and eighty seven places, and has repealed taxation to the amount of two millions, eight hundred and fifty-six thousand pounds, taking care to maintain no sinking fund whatever. We have but one remark to make out of a reduction of taxation of 1,056,0001. the relief to the agriculturists is 30,0001. > > PASSIVE RESISTANCE IN ENGLAND.—It is said that coming events cast their shadows before." One of these shadows was cast yesterday. A sale by auction of goods taken in distress for assessed taxes was announced to take place at Aston Tavern yesterday morning. From forty to fifty persons attended, including some brokers, but no buyer could be found, except the poor woman from whose husband the goods had been seized, and the auc- tioneer himself. A man came when the sale was nearly over, who was perfectly ignorant of the circumstances under which it took place, and bid for one of the last lots; he soon received an intimation, however, from the com- pany,,that he had better desist, which he accordingly did. After the sale was over, nearly the whole of the persons present surrounded this man, and lectured him severely upon his conduct, and it was only by his solemnly declaring to them that he had bid in perfect ingnorance of the nature of the sale, that he was suffered to escape without some more substantial proof of their displeasure.-Bir- minqham Journal. CHANGE IN PUBLIC OPI.VIO,-i.-Oll Monday, the 14th of May. last year, in consequence of the present ministers having resigned, a public meeting was held on Peterloo, to petition his Majesty to take baek his late ministers, and to pass the Reform Bill. On that day twelvemonths, namely, on Monday, the 13th instant, another public meeting was held, attended by many of the same parties, to petition the King to dismiss these ministers, on the ground of their having forfeited the confidence of the people-—Manchester Herald. AFFAIR OF HOKOUR.-On Saturday week, a meet- ing took place at Ballylinch, near Carrick on Suir, between B- s— and D— P-, Esqrs.; the former attended by W- O'D—, Esq., the latter by P—t—k C—m—f—d, Esq. a gentleman above ninety years of age. The necessary arrangements being made, the dreadfl11 word was given, when both gentlemen fired, and fell at the same moment. A cry that the police were coming occasioned the seconds to retreat in haste, when poor Mr. C. being very much confused, tumbled head and ears into a ditch, from which he was with much difficulty extricated. It is pleasant to add, that, Though in tljpfloody fray both parties fell, They still survive, and promise to do welt-Ibid. WHIG RETitrNCHMENT.-Ministers, in their zeal for retrenchment, have directed their attention to the stipends of barrack-chaplains. In one instance, in this neighbourhood they have made a reduction which will be a a saving of four pounds per annum, the stipend in question having been reduced from thirteen pounds to nine! Pro- digious! We should like to know" the tottle of the whole" which the country will save by the general application of this regulation.—,Ibid. BRUSSELS SCANDAL.—The following important in- telligence arrived by express to one of the morning papers on Thursday morning. A man cannot even quarrel with his wife now a days without the reporters ferreting it out,: « Rumour will have it thatsome misunderstanding exists between Leopold and his royal consort.

SCRIPTURE ILLUSTRATIONS. ) No. 3.—GEN. vi. 11. The earth also was corrupt before God and the. earth was filled with violence." If you had wished to figure to yourself a country which had reached the utmost pinnacle of prosperity you would undoubtedly have turned your eyes to France. as she ap- peared a few months before the revolution; illustrious in learning and genius, the favourite abode of the arts, and the mirror of fashion, whither the flower of nobility from all countries resorted, to acquire the last polish of which the human character is susceptible. Lulled in voluptuous repose, and dreaming of A philosophical millennium, with- out dependance on God, like the generation before the flood, they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage. In that exuberant soil, every thing seemed to flourish but religion and virtue. The season, however, had at length arrived when God was resolved to punish then impiety, and to avenge the blood of his servants, whose souls for a century had been incessantly crying to n,. him under the altar. And what method did he employ for this purpose? When he to whom vengeance belongs, when he whose ways are unsearchable, and whose wisdom is inexhaustible, proceeded to the execution of this strange work. he drew from his treasure a weapon he had never employed before.— Resolving to make their punishment as signal as their crimes, he neither let loose an inundation of powel-flii nations, nor the desolating powers of the universe. H. neither overwhelmed them with earthquakes, nor visited them with pestilence. He summoned from themselves a ferocity more terrible than either, a ferocity which, mingling jn their struggle for liberty, and borro'wing aid froni that very refinement, to which it seemed to be exposed, turned every man's hand against his neighbour. and spared no age, nor sex, nor rank, till, satiated with the rum of gfeatness, the distresses of innot-eiiee. and the tears of beauty, it finished its career in the most unrelenting despotism.

.i-- IRISH CHURCH. THE PETITION OP THE CHANCELLOR AND CLERGY OF THE DIOCESS OF LLANDAFF AGAINST THE IRISH CHURCH TEMPORALITIES BILL. TO THE HONORABLE THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRI- TAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED, SHEW ETH,—That your Petitioners have witnessed, with sincere apprehension, the introduction of a measure into your Honourable House, relating to the Irish Church, which they respectfully believe to be injurious in its pria ciple and hazardous in its tendency. Your Petitioners arc neither advocates for pluralities, nor sinecures in the Church they would hail with satis- faction any act of the Legislature, whereby such acknow- ledged defects as impair the efficiency of the establishment may be corrected, and its usefulness extended and improved. They have been ever favourable to any equitable com- mutation of tithes, and always anxious that some beneficial arrangement should be adopted for the augmentation of Ùle maller benefices. They humbly desire, however, to testify their conviction that the revenues of the Church cannot be legally alien- ated from the uses for which they were designed, and that to separate any portion of them from such uses, and apply them to other purposes, involves a subversion of the most sacred principle of equity, as well as of the Britisk Con- stitution—an inflexible and uniform maintenance of the. private rights of individuals. They respectfully submit to your Honourable House* that from united considerations of Religion and consti- tutional policy, the people of Eneland have incorporated and identified the estate of the Church with the mass of private property, of which the State is not the proprietor, either for use or dominion, but the guardian only, and regulator." Your Petitioners would humbly represent, that the Protestant Church of Ireland is identified with that of England by an act of law that no measure can injuriously affect the one without being dangerous to the other; and thev therefore implore your Honourable House not to sanction any proceeding whereby any portion of the pro- perty of the Church should be transferred from the support of the Protestant establishment. Your Petitioners humbly conceive it to be a grievance, that any payments for thc sustentation of the Church, immemorially recognised by the laws of the land, and arising from possessions that have been bought, sold, inherited and occupied with such a liability, at prices, high or low, in proportion to the burden, should be removed from parties hitherto liable, and imposed upon the Church which was never held subject to such payments. They complain of the injustice of an act which would relieve the land-owner, and benefit him at the expence of the Clergy, many of whom are overwhelmed in poverty, and incumbents of benefices ill capable of any increased burdens. Your Petitioners view with sorrow and alarm, the design of reducing the Irish bishoprics, and of placing the govern- ment of the Church in a commission, the members of which, with the exception of one, may all be of the laity. In the first measure they perceive a confiscation of estates lawfully belonging to those bishoprics, and a fearful tendency to weaken the Protestant interest at a period when it. especially requires comfort and protection. In the latter, they recognize a system at variance with their own notions of ecclesiastical jurisdiction, hurtful to true Religion, and manifestly depriving the Throne of its riglitfill prerogative to control the affairs of the Established Church. f Your Petitioners, in thus desiring humbly and respect- fully to express their solemn opinions, are not influenced by any selfish motives, by any wish to interfere in matters purely political, nor by any anxiety to restrain a whole- some spirit of ecclesiastical amendment and reform. A sense of sacred duty uiges them to raise their voices against a Bill which, they conscientiously believe, would Churcl lr'0US'^ the interests of the Established Church. In intreating your Honourable House not to sanction sucn a measure, they desire to add their fervent supplica- tions to Almighty God, that he would be pleased to direct and prosper all your consultations to the advancement of His glory, the good of His Church, the safety, honour and welfare of our Sovereign and his dominions. PETITION FOR THE BETTER OBSERVANCE OV THE SABBATH AND AGAINST THE BEER BILL. TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRI- TAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED, The humble Petition of the Chancellor and Clergy of the Diocess of Llandaff, sheweth, That your petitioners have long witnessed, with serious concern, an increasing disposition to treat with indifference and disregard that day set apart for rest from secular engagements, and more especially dedicated to innocent recreation, to religious meditation, and public worship. I hey have beheld with peculiar satisfaction the warm interest manifested by various portions of the community in this question, and an earnest anxiety that some legisla- tive enactment should be adopted to restrain the profana. tion, and promote the more decent and devout observance of the Lord's Day. They humbly desire to express their ardent hopes that some measure may be devised, by the wisdom of your he con-, Honourable House, more effectually to protect the con- scientious dealer, in his respect to the Sabbath, from the un,i trader who slights its obligations. Ihey wish to testify their sincere conviction, thatsome judicious regulations would be attended with great advan- tages to society. They found this conviction on their belief, that Religion is essential to the welfare of the State, and that a due regard to the sanctity of the Sabbath is intimately connected with the promotion of Religion. Your Petitioners would respectfully direct the attention of your Honourable House to the evidence furnished to the Education Committee, in 1816; all of which concurred in shewing that the profanation of the Sabbath is the almost universal cause, to which profligacy in the lower orders may be traced. Your Petitioners, who are all Clergymen of the Estab- lished Church, and all of whom have parishes committed to their care, are farther desirous of declaring their senti- ments in respect to a statute not long since enacted, for the licensing of houses for the sale of beer. They cannot conceal their conviction, founded on exten- sive experience, that many a gross violationof the Sabbath has arisen from this source, and that much of the public riot and disorder, which have of late so alarmingly dis- turbed the kingdom, may be ascribed to the beer house SJ hTas been abundantly shewn, in evidence published by order of your Honourable House, that limiting the number of public houses would not only operate most beneficially on the poor rate, but also greatly tend to the diminishing 0fYo™e'petiti°ne«. therefore, in humbly praying your Honourable House to take into your serious consideration the better observance of the Sabbath, would also pray that vou would be pleased to repeal the statute authorizing the licensing of h°useS *or of beer, or make such amendments thereto, as shall render it less pernicious to the morals and happiness of the people. The petitions were also sent to the Lords, mutatis mutandis.

COURT OF KLTt.lG'S BENCH, RFX lu. HARRIS, ESQ —Thursday, the judgment of the court was moved against the defendant, who was absent from indisposition, he having been convicted, at the assizes for' the county of Pembroke, of having illegally and. maliciously imprisoned a poor man named David Harm. At the trial it appeared that the defendant was interested in the return of Mr. Greville as a representative in Par- liament, and that the prosecutor voted for Sir John Owen, the opposing candidate. The defendant, who was a magistrate, felt irritated at the manner the prosccutor gave his vote,; and some short time afterwards, when the latter was brought before him on a charge of poaching, without giving him an opportunity to be heard, he sent him to Haverfordwest gaol, where the poor fellow was detained a month, and then set at liberty without any indictment having been preferred against him. The jury found the defendant guilty; but on account of his indisposition, the court postponed passing sentence on him from time to time. On behalf of the defendant some affidavits of magistrates and other persons were put in, stating that David Harris kept dogs, was in the habit of poaching, and was a man of disorderly and dangerous character; that he had been in gaol three times, and on one occasion broke the head of a constable with a handcuff, The detennani, It was stated had always maintained a high character, and his beighbour; had presented him with a public testimonial of their ap- proval of his conduct as a magistrate. Mr. Evans and Mr. Whitcombe were heard in mitigation of punishment. Mr. Maulo was heard on the part of the prosecution. Mr. Justice Littledale said, that in consequence of the great age and many infirmities of the defendant, the court would not award the punishment of imprisonment, but would fine him a higher sum. The judgment of the court was that the defendant should pay a fine of 500/. to the King. His lordship added, that the proceedings in this case, together with the sentence of the court, would be laid before the Lord Chancellor, who would then be able to judge whether the defendant ought any longer to remain in the commission of the peace. The attorney of the defendant immediately paid the fine.

That every slave. upon the passing of this act, shall be at liberty to claim, before the protector of slaves, custos of the parish, or such other officer as shall be named by his Majesty for that purpose, to be registered as an apprenticed labourer. II. That the terms of such apprenticeship should be- 1st. That the power of corporeal punishment should be altogether taken from the master, and transferred to the magistrate. 2d. That in consideration of food and clothing, and such allowances as are now made by law to the slave, the labourer should work for his master three-fourths of his time, leaving it to be settled by contract whether for three- fourths of the week or of each day. That by a day is here understood only ten hours, seven and a half of which are to be for the master as above, in consideration of food, clothing, and lodging, and that all the time above such hours is not to be affected by these regulations. That such apprentices shall immediately enjoy all rights and privileges of freemen shall be capable of giving evidence in all cpurts, criminal as well as civil, and as well against their employers as against any other persons; of serving upon juries, and in the Militia of attending whatever place of worship or teacher of religion they please and shall have and enjoy all other rights and privileges whatsoever of y British subjects. 3d. That the labourer should have a right to claim em' ployment of his master for the remaining one-fourth of his time according to a fixed scale of wages 4th. That during such one fourth of his time the labourer should be at liberty to employ himself elsewhere. 5th. That the master should fix a price upon the labourer at the time of his apprenticeship. 6th. That the wages to be paid by the master should l>e^r such a proportion to the price fixed hy him, that for the whole of his spare time, if given to the master, the negro should receive 1 12th of his price annually; and in pro- portion for each lesser term. 7ih. Thatevery negro, on becoming an apprentice, sha be entitled to a money payment weekly, in lieu of food and clothing, should he prefer it, the amount to be fi*ed b> ^a Magistrate with reference to the actual cost of the lc2a provision. 8th. That every apprenticed labourer be bound to pay portion, to be fixed, of his wages, half-yearly, to an o lo be appointed by his Majesty. i;able 9th. That in default ofsuch payment the master be and in return, may exact an equivalent amount ot without payment in the succeeding half year. 10th. That every apprenticed negro, on payment of the Price fixed by his master, or such portion of it as may from time to time remain due, be absolutely free. 11th. That every such apprentice may borrow the nm so required, and bind himself, by contract before a magistr for a limited period, as an apprenticed labourer to lender. r III, That a loan to the amount of 15,000,0001- sterling be granted to the proprietors of West Indian estates an slaves, on such security as may be approved by commis gioners appointed by the Lords Commissioners of hIs Majesty's Treasury. IV. That such loan be distributed among the different colonies in a ratio compounded of the number of slaves an the amount of exports. i. V. That the half-yearly payments hereinbefore authotJZ to be made by the apprenticed negroes, be taken in liquida- tion of so much of the debt contracted by the planter to the public.. ( VI. That all children who at the time of the passing o this act shall be under the age of six years be free, and be maintained by their respective parents. VII. That in failure of such maintenance they be deemed apprentices to the master of the parents (without receiving wages), the males till the age of 24, the females to the age of 20, at which periodsrespectively they and theircbildren, if any, shall be absolutely free. VIII. That this act shall not prevent his Majesty from assenting to such acts as may be passed by the Colonial Legislatures forthe promotion of industry or the prevention of vagrancy, applicable to all classes of the community. And that respectable persons,wholly unconnected with the Colonies, shall be sent out to act as District Magistrates and other officers, for the protection of the negroes and preservation of the peace. r IX. That upon the recommendation of the local Legisla- tures, his Majesty will be prepared to recommend to Parliament, out of the revenues of this country, to grant such aid as may be deemed necessary for the due support of the administration of justice, of an efficient police estab. lishment, and of a general system of religious and moral education. X. And that with this view effectual protection shall be given to all teachers of religion of whatever persuasion.

ESTABLISHING A RAW.—"The raw," cockney. cally so called. is a sore place on a horse or ass, and opening in the hide which leaves the bare flesh and nerves exposed as a mark for the whip of the driver. Take the following commentary threon from the lips of a learned omnibus driver on the Paddington road; lou may take your oath there's nothing like a raw for getting the go out of a hoss as long as there's any in nim. lou call it cruel but I'll jnst take and tell you how it is now, and I,11 leave you to guess. Your buggy gentlemen, and sich, they takes and uses all the high courage out of a hoss- very good, Then they sells him to us, and we Bogs the work out of him but after a bit he gets whip hardened, and worked down as it were, though its like there s plenty of go in him still, if we could only get « out. Well, then comes the use of thc raw; and if the raw don t come natural, by the rubbing of the traces and sich like, why some folks will make a raw with a bit of blister-plaster or what not, (but I don't hold with that ere, for we should'nt like it ourselves) and its mortal fine to see how you may get all the rest of the work out of a hoss quite sprightly by whijiping into the raw, till he bas nt leg left to stand upon, and is good for nothing but the knackers shambles. It may be cruelish, perhaps; but its all fair in the way of trade. We buy the bosses for the work what's in lein and we've a right to get the work out of em of courre-orl else what's the use ? —Sunday ill London.

TO TEI P, I EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN. FEMALE SLAVERY IN ENGLAND. St it,-The Romans, for a long period,had no law at all against parricide, because they believed the crime too monstrous to come within the scope of human capability of wickedness. We might have believed d priori on the same principle, that infanticide, slow, calculating, cold. blooded sacrifice to gain, of great numbers of the most helpless, the most interesting, the most gentle and beauti ful part of the human race, would be one impossible of perpetration; that nature in every heart would lift a voice against it. more imperative than that of the most terrible law that at least if ever a sordid being should resist that still mall voice," yet potent, in an individual case, still conscience within him would inflict, some time, penal pain, and compunction thunder to his secret soul beyond the penalty of justice or the sentence of the severest judge so that such crime could never multiply into a system, but stand solitary, leaving, as Sir Thomas Browne finely remarks, oil some relations whose truth we fear"—'« no record except in the register of hell." How should we have been deceived How much does human depravity and cruelty surpass even human belief! This killing prepense, this steady infanticide, has become system and as if it needed a climax, a Reformed Parliament demands time and much deliberation before it will say "be free" to British children horn free-born on a soil, whose mere contact with the foot of every non native slave breaks his bonds for life But so much has been said, and eloquently as well as wisely said on this subject, (especially in the London Guardian) that I should but repeat what has already appeared in your independent Journal and others, should I enter on a long discussion. There is, however, a discrepancy so violent betwixt professions and practice, in high quarters, on this mournful occasion, that I have been led to try the lyrical licence for those indignant thoughts it provokes, perhaps in their just vehemence more fitted for such just vehicle, as partaking the poetic fury, than for prose. The discrepancy I allude to is the Premier's suspending the laws in all Ireland, on evidence not constitutionally brought before the legislature, and declining to suspend the infliction of blows, of torture, of excessive labour, of early decrepitude and death, on innocent children, without such formal, .slov .evidence- hunting as he disdained in the other cajJB- A short time back. my Lord John Russet aMHred us, we were all no better than slaves if we paid one half penny in taxes, without having consented to such impost by proxy. He clearly proved that we had been enslaved barbarously, for some centuries, by an old musty suspected document of the reign of the liberal King Edward the First! Lord Russell would do well now, to shew by what consent, unless of "hunger dire," English freemen sanction the martyrdom and slavery of their own nesh and blood. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, D.

A FACTORY ODE. When fallen from his ,prid,of place," A Heaven born minister" so far Forgot himself, and Heaven and grace, So shamed his order"-dinimed his star, As for a poor brief restoration, To lick rebellion's lifted hand, And brew the storm of agitation, The demon of that storm to stand Then Ireland's miserable kern The virtue of rebellion taught, Did his great moral lesson learn, And spurned at law—as patriots ought. But, the mob idol re enthroned- Woe to those wretched fools so taught! Their face his wheels triumphal ground, Like the deaf god of Juggernaut! Commission, witness-pause, denied- This demigod of faction prest His iron law right on, and tried All Ireland in his one pure breast. Th' apostle of the rights of man, On freemen shut their own homes' door; Did all that power unbounded can j His plea—necessity—no more! But when a Moloch sin uprisen On childhood's martyrdom and death, Holds infant innocents in prison, Baiters their tears and sweat and breath; When, crueller than starving men, High pampered manufacturers prey Upon their frames and souls,—what then Quoth freedom's fierce apostle?—«• Stay We must not grant their eyes to close- Their limbs to rest at nature's call. Nor ease their pains, nor sooth their woes. Till long enquiry warrant all Man's very soul is sick of man !— But ye with hearts unseared by place, Assert God's own benignant plan, And vindicate the infant race. Childhood is life's one holiday- The still sweet hour before the sun, High risen, to labour calls away- Cruel to rob them of that one Their days to come, how .sad or few We knuw ont,iof c^n tltei 0. But we can make their present blue; How little makes their lives all sun! Bread and a brook-a field of grass, And wild flowers-crown their hope and pride Cheap happiness! meek hope alas. That such should ever be denied E'en when in the sick chamber pent They suffer—but as all flesh must, Such pains for them, so innocent, Make fate itself appear unjust. Ye beautiful of form and minti- White souls of God without a spot! What death too dire for them who blind. And stain, and blight ? what hell too hot ? rru cal? temperate—and see Thus lost, by time's eternal loss, J-jCit dark to sin and misery* Immortal souls like mortal dross ? Prisons and chains for felons are, ci n'lt'18^ are strong to bear their chains shall harmless, helpless infants bear Worse than the foulest felon's pains? Where are your hearts, ye mothers! where T Ye fathers! where your pride of man, Manhood, or mercy, when ye bear To look upon your child death-wan? Your child (to your protection given) Denied all childhood loves and aks.- The green of earth, the light of Heaven, E en sleep's poor respite from its tasks Your child-to which the day has risen |n,vain—(poor piuing pale eyed slave!) Gilding the outside of her prison,— -^8 lo a dead child in its grave. Ye clamour oft for fancied ills- For once be wise and clamorous— Jor lo! your babes in those black mills, I»ike lambs bound in the slaughter house Here is a cause indeed to fire A freeman's soul.' no fancy wild- ° ^wrongs that demagogues inspire,— But your doomed child—your dying child Aye weep! but do not tamely cry lis horrid poverty that drives To eat that bitter bread or die Remember, hope with life survives I hat young limbs free are strong to strive That life 80 saved is not a life, But death's long agony alive,- Worse than want's worst and deadliest strife What horrid answer's this they give ? Is death by want, or death by toil, The British child's alternative, With Britain's sky and Britain's soil ? Oh no !—Thou roaring human.sea, The People na as by a wind, Heaved to and fro trerrendously. Vexed by ungovernable mind High against order's ancient banks Hollowly roaring oh, now win From angels smiles, from mortals thanks, And roar against this Moloch sin See, midst this march of mind's" advance, Young minds, by tens of thousands doomed To long, dire, dungeon-ignorance Lost minds in ruined forms entomed. Thou sea of storm, instinct with mind! 'Tis Mercy cal is-if wise thou art— By those sole virtuous mid mankind By every mother's bleeding heart Lift up that thunder-voicc thou feign'st The voice of God s omnipotence If ever—lift it now, against This Murder of the Innocents!

THE SOLDIER'S DEATH-BED. Like thee to die, thou sun My boyhood's dream Was this and now my spirit, with thy beam, Ebbs from a field of victory vet the hour Bears back upon me with a torrent's power Nature's deep longings. Oh for some kind eye Wherein to meet love's fervent, farewell gaze, Some breast to pillow life's last agony, Some voice, to speak of hope and brighter day Beyond the pass of shadows! But I go, I, that have been so lov'd,go hence alone, And ye, now gathering round my own heart's glow, Sweet friends it may be that a softer tone, Even in this moment, with your laughing glee Mingles its cadence while you speak of me; Of me, your soldier! 'midst the mountains lying On the red banners of his battles dying Far, far away and oh your parting prayer, Will not his name be fondly murmur'd there ? It will-a blessing on that holy hearth Though clouds are darkening to o'ercast its mirth. Mother I may not hear thy voice again, Sisters! ye watch to greet my step in vain. Young brother, fare thee well!—on each dear head Blessing and love a thousand.fold be shed My soul's last earthly breathings! May your homa j Smile for you ever! may no winter come, No world between your hearts! may even your teari For my sake, full of long rappkgmber'd years, I Quicken the true affections intwine I Your lives in one bright bond. I may not sleep i Amidst our fathers, where those tears might shine [ Over my slumbers, yet your love will keep My memory living in the ancestral halls, Where shame hath never trod. The dark night falli, And I depart. The brave are gone to rest, The brothers of my combats, on the breast Of the red field they reap'd --their work is done. Thou too art set!—farewell, farewell thou sun, The last lone watcher of the bloody sod Offers a trusting spirit up to God!

THE REPORTIIER TO THE LEADIXG JouaxAr,— In the account of the Westminster election given in LlO Times, Sir J. C. Hobhouse is represented to have used the following language in reference to IColonel Evans. allusion to the charge brought against him of being a paid servant of the crown, he asked the meeting, who now wa* the most paid servant of the crown, of the three candidates for their suffrages ?-Why, the very man who had brought the charge against him, and whom he could, when he held his late office, have deprived of his pension, at a moment i notice, by a mere scratch of his pen. He appealed to them; if thev did not return him, at least not to return one who had so basely calumniated him." Col. Evans, on this, wrote to Lord Dunboyne for advice," and his lord- ship advised him to write to Sir John, to ask whether the»» words were really nsed by him. Sir John placed hiroselt in the hands of his second, Admiral Fleming, who after some hours spent in finding a proper person to inform what words were really used, receives a rather letter from Lord Dunboyne, intimating that the matter must be settled by nine o'clock on the following Á. Friday) morning. The noble lord receives, consequently, at half- past nine, a letter from the admiral, dated'eight o'clockya Friday morning, in which is contained the following passage:—"I find that thc expressions attributed to John Hobhouse are mis stated. He never did make use o* the word base' or basely,' and he applied calumniated j to those who had asserted that he was still in office, after | he had repeatedly stated that that was not the case. Witb regard to the expression 'that he could have deprived hl of his pension at a mopient's notice, by a scratch of bit pen,' what he really did say was,«I might have been called on at a moment's warning, to strike off his name by a mere scratch of my pen,' meaning that Colonel Evan was on the list of the armv- This acknowledgment n It afterwards admitted by Lord Dunboyne as satisfactory. » is really too bad in the leading journal of brickbats a bludgeons, thus set gentlemen at daggers-drawing by ali" reporting.
