THAT while we entertain the most cordial affection for our fellow subjecjsof the Roman •■ Catholic Religion, and heartily rejoice that they we no longer coerced in their persons or property, and that they enjoy the free and conscientious ex- ercise of tl)ei r Religion.-We beg leave most so- lemnly to protest against the claim now advanced on their behalf, to be admissible into the offices which constitute the Government, or to seats in either of the Houses of Parliament—a claim which we conceive inconsistent with the safety of the Established Constitution in Church and State, and dangerous to the connexion between Great Britain and Ireland. We beg leave therefore humbly to state, that we consider the Roman Catholics as an aspiring party, under the Government of a Church, the rival of that which is established by Law, which from and previous to the Revolution of 16S8, -mamlained a constant struggle for the supremacy both in Church and State and that we cannot sufficiently extol-the wisdom of our ancestors who at that period secured the existence and continu- ance of the Protestant ascendancy, by excluding Roman Catholics from the Throne, from the Higher Offices ofState, and from the two Houses of Parliament. Your Petitioners also view with great appre- hension the establishment of Jesuits in these Realms, aware of the dangerous and secret oaths and obligations by which they are bound. Your Petitioners therefore earnestly pray that no concessions giving Political Power to Roman Catholics may be granted. And your Petitioners will ever pray* &c.

Five hundred and fifty four. — Our readers will perceive by an advertisement Hfour. paper, that a discontent exists ainongSt the Quarrymen of the Penrhyn Slate Quarries. We regret to fitate. that the works were stopped on Friday last, in fconsequence of about 150 men from the lower Quarry striking from their work, who proceeded through the Quarry, and drove the rest Off. The ostensible object of their ill-ad- .vised proceeding, appears to be all advance of j wagas but we do not see what reason there can be for this, when we understand that no alteration whatever has been made in the prices for working the slates, but on the contrary are the same that have been for many years. Whatever complaint ley may have, (which, if any, do not appear of recent date) we should hope that the advertise- ment, of which hand bills have been circulated, will satisfy all reasonable Quarrymen that no- mg but justice, is intended. The petition from this City, against granting further concessions to the Catholics, appears in this page-It now lies for signatures at Mr. Ro- bert Hughes shop, and, a meeting at Llandegai, and to join in the petition, will, we believe, be held there on Friday, and at Llanllecliid the Same evening. held there on Friday, and at Llanllecliid the Same evening.

This neighbourhood will be a source of great attraction this summer, as the forward state of the Chain Bridge across the Menai will, we have no doubt, insure visitors to an extent far beyond that of any previous year. A fellow who had been exhibiting himself in Shrewsbury lately as a Cannibal belonging to the Pellew Islands, dancing the war dance, sing- ing the war-whoop, shewing his tatooed skin, with long hair reaching to the ground, and vari- ous other savage accoutrements, is said to hat'@' been detected at Pool last week, in rather an odd way. Whilst dancing about the room with a large litick in his hand, he hit one of the spectators a blow on the face the Welshman not relishing such treatment, laid violent hand on the Canni- bal's hair, when the long liair, scalp andall, came away in the assailant's gripe, and left the Sa- vage with hisjbald head unprotected I" He evinced no desire under such circumstances, to renew the combat; and was forthwith safely lodged in Montgomery gaol, as a rogue and vagabond. DIRECT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH WALES.—We lately observed that the making of the new road between Newtown and the Builth continued in progrees, and that it was ex- pected that the greater part, ifnotthe whole, will be finished during the present year. Since then we have been informed that so apparent and im- portant are the benefits to be derived from the line of. COUHllunication, that the completion of the road will not be waited for, but that publicconvey- ances are to be established thereon in the course of the summer it being purposed to continue the Stage Coach which runs from Chester to Welsh Pool, by way of Newtown and Llandrindod W ells, to meet the Couches which already run from Builth and Laridovery; by mellns of which, not only easy means of access may be had from all parts of the Principality to Llandrindod, but also a direct means of communication will be effected between the eastern portion of North Wales, Ches- ter, Liverpool, Manchester, &G. in the North of Kngtand, and Brecon, Carmarthen, Swansea, &e. I W. in South Wales. This mode of conveyance, how- ever, is not the only one which is to be shortly established on this line of communication, it being also purposed to run a Caravan or Public Car- riage from the head Canal at Newtown by Llan- drindod Wells, alld tilt-ougli Builth, to meet the Stasre VVao-o-nns already established in South Wales.

WEYMOUTH.—On Saturday evening it blew south-east wind, accompained by, a very hiirli tide; This gale, produced a golden harvest to many pee^pte in the parish of Crickerel. Duritiw i n,, the night it blew: tremendously, from the south- west, and the beach, from the effects of a ground sea, in the morning produced guineas and a q uan- tity of foreign and English coins; of thefonner picked up, some bore date many years previous to the loss of Admiral Christaiu's fleet on that part of the coast.' CROOKED PEOPLE MADE STRAIGHT.—Can man add a cubit to his stature' is asked by verv hi^i, authority. His friends can lor him answer— the Doctors. We have all, I suppose, read of that youth who was stretched to the height of (iir".Ilt feet and then died. At Paris there is an estab- lishment— Orthopedique—for niakitig el-ooki-d people straight, which may probably answer the same purpose of adding a cubit to the stature.- The busts of the cured are preserved in plaster and the difference is so great as to astonish everv l bodyFrench Paper.

It hastheeu liuraqurously observed by a modern writer that when parties embark in a lawsuit it is almost the same as entering into a matrimonial noose both parties being equally tied down, with but a rare possibility of separation or escape till the termination of their existence. iiEL:A,NCTIOLt COINCli)ENCR.-M. and Madame 0 had long been disappointed of an heir.- A their wishes were fulfilled thev had ve two sons.

Extract from Dr. Crichton's Inquiry into Mental Deralig(-nietit: It is very remarkable that the skulls of the greater number of sllch pa- tients nre commonly very thick nay, some have been found of a most extraordinary degree of thickness. Among two hundred and sixteen pa- tletits of this desci-i,l)tioii, whose bodies were.in- spected after death, there were found 167 whose skulls, were unusually thick, and only 3S thin ones among which last number* there was one- which was much thicker on the right side than on the left. But in particular it was observed that among 100 raving madmen, 8 had very thick skulls, and 20 very thin ones among which skulls there was one quite soft. Among 26 epileptic raving madmen, there were nineteen found with very thick skulls, and four very thin. Among 16 epileptic'idiots, there were 14; and among 20 epileptifc patients 10, who had very thick skulls; among, whom there was one discoverer), one side I of whose skull wav, tliieji, and the other thin.— Among 21 melancholy patients, there were IS with very thin skulls and, lastly ftmomg.30 idiots 22 with yecy thick, and six with very thin skulls. AH others had skulls ofa iiitui-al thickness." How TO GET BEATEN IN THE STREET. —A casual turn up took place the other, day, in one of our great thorough-fares, between a gentleman of the fancy and a .coal-heaver, which aiforded no little diversion in its result to the bystanders. The science was on One side and the coal-heaver's claret was tpppediu a twinkling. He was punched right andleft nobbed—chopped—cross-buttock- ed, and nooreu again ailu again, MB Ilulllloon received enough to satisfy an ordinary customer but he was a toug-n bit of stuff, and aftera world of pelting and hammering, the general miller began to tire of his work. When the coalman, there- rore. calne up as usual from one of his tumbles, he was told, to his surprise that he was too good a man to coritend with, that he had won the battel and that his opponent confessed his superiorly and gave in. Coalee was not satisfied his turn seemed to have come. and he wanted to give a receipt in full for the favours he had recei ved but then by the laws of war he was not allowed to strike the, vanquished (inly: one more round; would have satisfied him but the cove could rtot be persuaded that he had the shadow of a "chance, and the bystanders, of course, could not suffer the beaten man to be beaten. He walked away therefore unhurt, and poor coalee, with two black eyes and a face deluged in Dutch pink, was proclaimed the conqueror. STOIlBS ,MILLs;-We have. seen a gentleman who resides about a mile and a half from the pewdtr mills. He was sittingin his bed-room in the act of shaving, when the decanter o.fhotwater before hiin suddenly bounced up from the table several feet, the mirror upset, and the other ap- paratus wpre tossed about the room. On look- ingoutflf his window, he saw an immense column of smoke rising from the spot, mixed with flame, which from Ùle ignition of frttsh quantities of powder, from time to time, while carried up, added much to the sublimity of the, scene. There was a loud noise, like thunder, continued for some time, which struck terror even on the beasts of the fields, and nothing was more remarkable than its effects on the hares, which are very numerous in the neighbourhood, and which were seen in all directions, raised up on their hinder legs, and looking round. At the distance of a mile and a quarter from the mills, a ploughman was found lying insensible, who dropped down at his plough, but soon recovered. A, carter, driving a load of hay, at nearly the same distance, was dri ven down on his face, though nothing happened to the horse or cart; the poor hiati, could not account for it, but described it as an invisible something coming up behiud him, which like a gust of. wind, felled him to the ground. The head of one of the men e who suffered was carried up a mile, and stopped .only by coming in contact with the wall of a fal-in-liolise, tilelie it was dashed to pieces. SOllie stones and iron bolts were found at an almost in- credible distance.—Stii-ling Journal.
