- MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1826.

We are enabled this day to give a more correct: count of the proceedings at the meeting held on Thu day last, at the Colony-House. The substance, in great measure, of the Lord Bishop’s speech has be] already before the public. We should not, howevt do justice to his Lordsbip, did we not bear testim<? to the very impressive and eloquent delivery of his ad­dress; which indeed was its novelty,—for we have heard the same common-place topics, we may almost say, the same speech, fifty times over, at the meetWgs or preachings of all the Religious Societies we have attended.

Mr. Croal assured his Lordship, that the pro­prietors were quite willing to impart Religious Ob­struction to their Negroes as far as the Sunday wet#; but that, even one hour of another day, impugned the principle which the colonists would not relinquish without a previous sacred guarantee of compensation —viz. an infraction of property. That the inhabit­ants were taking measures, and had not time to reflect on the measures now, for the first time, proposed— and, therefore, that he begged leave to move, “ That this meeting woudd take into consideration the rttrnm- sures proposed by his Lordship, and would be prefix­ed, at his next visit to the Colony, to give an answer thereon.”

This proposal was instantly rejected by the Lord Bishop, who declared that he could not admit it. That Sunday was already the Lord’s day. That, with regard to reading and writing alluded to by Mr. Cr^al, he had not mentioned the word “ writing,” but |[>nly reading. His Lordship asked if Mr. Croal spoke'the sense of the meeting, and was answered that he/did — [one voice only declared that they were not his,]the sentiments of the utterer.] The Bishop demanded shew of hands, when scarcely any were held up in favour of the Bishop’s proposals—but almost un tni- mously for Mr. Croal’s proposal. His Lordship de­clared, that he had not expected to meet objectiois; that none had been intimated to him ; that he came prepared to receive only the cordial co-operation of the inhabitants here, as he had done in all the other parts of his Diocese.

Mr. Hillhouse, for the sake of brevity, begged to read from a paper a few observations, which went to say, that one day having been appointed by Divine authority for religious duties, was enough. That no notice had been taken of the benighted Indians, who were worthy of, and demanded, a portion of the sym­pathy and instruction so liberally dealt out, but cir­cumscribed, to the Negroes.

In the course of discussion on various points con­nected with the Bishop’s proposals, it was urged by Captain Warren, to his Lordship’s especial notice, that he was unaware of the peculiar constitution of society in this Colony; that, in the other part of his Diocese, he had only to do with a population that had always been under an Episcopal jurisdiction ; but the case was different here, where the population was,di­vided into classes professing the Roman Catholic, the Presbyterian, Wesleyan,Church ofEngland, and other persuasions—the Church of England being chieflyire- sident in and about Georgetown. That he (Capt. W.) represented proprietors of various creeds, and he would encourage the instruction of the Negroes oythe different plantations he represented, in the fornu of worship professed by their proprietors, and tolerhted by law ; but that it was most important and essential to the well-being of this Colony, that uniformity cf in­struction should prevail in the manner, time, and [pace of conveying instruction to the Slave Population. That it would not do for one proprietor to have a Catechist upon his estate, whilst the neighbouringjpro- perty had none, because such a mode of instruction was contrary to the religious faith and practice of the master. That nothing but uniformity could do good, which uniformity should consist in every ^tate encouraging the attendance of its Slave Population at the place of worship on the Sabbath day alone, of whatever form that worship might be. That no uni­formity could possibly exist, if the adoption of the measure of a Branch of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge were adhered to—becauseisuch a Society was uncongenial with our existing inftitu-

i tions, and formed in the very teeth of the Roman Ca-

aHI

>dy

a

tholics in particular, who were, and must be, hostile to the distribution of Tracts and Bibles amongst their servants, and that a considerable portion of property in this Colony was of this creed.

The Bishop observed, that he did not know the name of the Gentleman who was addressing him, but he could assure him experience in these ceeded very well in Diocese.

Captain Warrenhad not encountered, in any other part of his Diocese, a Presbyterian community, mixed with the Catholics. That, with regard to Catechists, if his Lordship would take the trouble of riding round one of our planta­tions, he would be convinced that it would be enough for qne Catechist to do on one estate, much less 14 estates, as proposed by his Lordship, if he was to go round and call the Negroes for the hour’s instruction. Whereupon the Bishop observed, that he had not proposed that the Catechist should go and call the Negroes—but where did they sleep?—he might then take the opportunity. Captain Warren replied, they slept in their houses; but that, if the gang were work­ing aback, a distance perhaps of four miles, the whole day’s labour would be lost were they called from their work to attend a Catechist. That, in order to obviate objections, and to combine the co-operation of all forms in an uniform endeavour to instruct the Siave Population in Christian duties, he would move the following Resolution:—

“ That this meeting is fully impressed with the indispen- sible Necessity of adopting an uniform system of imparting Religious Instruction to the Slave Population, in as far as regards the manner, time, and place, by encouraging the attendance of their Negroes at their respective Places of Worship on the Sabbath day, for the purpose of the super­intendence of their Religious duties and Christian instruc­tion by the Ministers of their respective congregations; and for these Christian purposes, this meeting, in the name of the proprietors, cheerfully pledge themselves to aid and assist, by all careful means, the Ministers of Religion.”

This Resolution having been read and seconded, was handed to the Bishop at his request,—when he objected to the terms, “ uniform,” and “ as far as re­gards the manner, time, and place,”—and refused to put it.

Mr. Croal then drew out the following Reso­lution :—

“ That this meeting pledges itself, and as far as it can, the other inhabitants of the Colony, to encourage the at­tendance of the Slaves at Church on Sunday; for the pur­pose of hearing divine service, and being instructed in the principles of the Christian religion.”

The Bishop refused to have this Resolution put,— say ing, it did not signify—for “ that two or three were sufficient to form the Branch Societies proposed —that We was truly sorry to meet with such opposition— that he thonubt ha Lad been rul dressing ‘1 large ;;»■>- dience of theChurch ofEngland. Whereupon Captain Warren observed, that he “ was afraid his Lordship would find upon the present occasion, that he had but a very small congregation.”—Re-adverting to the Re­solutions which had been proposed, but had been re­fused by his Lordship, Captain Warren said he would consent to leave out the words objected to—in short, he might mould it as he pleased; but his Lordship declined altogether, declaring that nothing would do but the establishment upon the instant of the branches proposed by him, which it was his duty as a Christian Bishop to press.

Captain Warren observed, that the exclusive adop­tion of Resolutions for Branch Societies, savoured somewhat of religious intolerance.

Mr. Bean pressed on his Lordship’s notice the very short period this Colony had been under his Lordship’s jurisdiction—that he was conscious the Colonists had every disposition to further his Lordship’s views, in imparting Religious Instruction to their Slaves—but that the notice had been so short, and his Lordship’s departure so early, that they really had not time to consider his proposals.

Mr. Rainy and Mr. Rose severally made remarks unfavourable to the adoption of any societies whatever, and rescued the proprietors from any charge of not wishing to encourage a discreet dissemination of the principles of Christianity amongst their Negroes.

Some observations were then made by several gen- tlertien, respecting the option the Lord Bishop com­menced with, and the no choice now left to them— when the Lieutnant-Goverrior seeming to suggest the propriety of retiring,—His Excellency left the room with the Lord Bishop,—who requested the Epis­copalians to follow him;—whereupon the meeting immediately called Captain Warren to the chair,— which having been taken by this Gentleman, a Com­mittee was appointed to draw up certain Resolutions, in accordance to the purpose for w-hich this meeting had been called—which Resolutions, we trust, we shall be enabled to give in our next publication.

An elegant entertainment was given at the Colony- House, on Friday evening, by a select party of Gen­tlemen, to the Officers of the 27th Enniskillens, as a token of their esteem and good will at parting. The guests assembled about nine o’clock, and dancing com­menced at a little before ten, and was kept up with spirit until an advanced hour. This distinguish­ed Regiment has been stationed in the Colony nearly three years, during which both officers and privates have been on the most friendly footing with the in­habitants;—and we owe it to them collectively to say, that their conduct has uniformlj’ been such, as, should they ever again be called upon to visit these shores, will induce the Colonists to give them a hearty wel­come.

so long struggled. This document holds erable inducements to spirited individuals sacred cause, and intimates, that no man meet the reward of his exertions in this and glorious undertaking.”

The celebrated tragedian, Talma, died at Paris on the 19th Oct. He had been long afflicted with a disease, which rendered vain the efforts for his re­covery of the most eminent medical men of the ca­pital—an obliteration for nearly two inches of the large intestine, and inflammation of other parts of the bowels. By this melancholy event the French stage has lost a brilliant luminary—a most distinguished ornament. He was indeed an ardent and enthusiastic votary of the drama, had early devoted himself to its arduous duties, and, by his extraordinary talents, soon reached the pinnacle of theatric greatness—which as­cendancy he maintained till the termination of his career, having for forty years paced the tragic boards, with all his “ blushing honours thick upon him.”— But alas ! they were dearly’ purchased—for it was lefc to this individual, in his dying moments, to ratify, that he had chosen this world nlone as bis portion. This great actor, when on his death-bed—when the curtain was about to be dropped, which would for ever ex­clude him from human observation—when all terres­trial objects were gradually flitting from his sight— and when on the eve of entering the confines of eter­nity,— evinced his contempt for the consolations of religion ; set the seal to his own unworthiness, by de­claring, that he more valued the glory of his profes­sion, than the worship of his Maker, and his hopes of salvation; and died repeating—not a prayer for pardon and forgivenness—but the name of that arch infidel, Voltaire! He has thus affixed a stigma to his name and character, which even the recollection of his brilliant attainments will but partially efface. We are no enthusiasts in matters of religion—far from it; nor would we decry any man, or body of men, for the particular religious tenets which he or they may conscientiously entertain. But when an individual, puffed up by the incense and adulations of the world, so far forgets his own frail insignificance, as (like many of the ancients) to'fancy himself a god, and to deny the existence of a Superior Being—when, (in imitation of so ne illustrious, though infatuated, fellow-mortal,) he thus avowedly bids defiance to his Maker, and, like Rousseau, enters into His presence with blasphemy on his tongue,—there is something so strikingly abhorrent in it, that we cannot refrain from expressing our feel­ings of disgust.

A Royal Order had been sent to Bar­celona and Cadiz to prevent the fatal effects of secret and anonymous denunciations which had been tolera­ted, as long as they only reached Liberals and Patriots, but are now to be suppressed because they lately in­volved some of the King’s own friends. The Cardinal Archbishop of Seville had issued a Circular, in which, after lamenting that printed and manuscript pamphlets in favour of the events in Portugal were circulating a- mong the people, he directs all Ecclesiastics and all persons employed in the service of Churches under his jurisdiction to oppose the circulation of those writings, “ in order to prevent the misfortunes which might re­sult from their perusal,” and also “ not to allow' any news of an alarming nature to be imprudently com­municated to the knowledge of the people.” The Rev. Prelate also requires a list of the individuals who seem attached to revolutionary doctrines, meaning those doctrines which a legitimate Sovereign has caused to triumph in Portugal.

Sir Walter Scott’s Life of Napoleon is procceeding with so much celerity, that we have reason to believe the six volumes will appear within a few weeks after Christmas.

Trade of Liverpool.—We have the satisfaction of being able to inform our readers, that the customs of Liverpool have not fallen off, in the quarter for which the accounts have just been made up, in that proporti­on to the general diminution of the customs’ revenue of the kingdom, which their aggregate amount bears to the aggregate amount of that revenue. The gross cus­toms’ revenue at Liverpool, for the quarter ended oil Tuesday last, amounts to nearly a million; and is about 90,0001. less than the amount for the corresponding quarter of last year. The total customs’ revenue of the kingdom, for the quarter just ended, is about 5,000, 0001. The total dimunition of the customs’ revenue of the kingdom, in the quarter just ended, compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, is under 700,0001. Thus, the customs’ revenue from Liverpool, in the last quarter, is a fifth of that of the whole king­dom ; and the diminution of that revenue in the port of Liverpool, for the quarter just ended, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, is only about one-eighth part of the diminution of the whole customs’ revenue of the kingdom. It may be also ad­ded, that among the many causes of diminution in the revenue of the kingdom, there is one which peculiarly affects Liverpool, namely, the low price of its stdple article of import, cotton, which, being assessed at an ad valorem duty, contributes, of course, just now, com­paratively a very small amount of duty.—Liverpool Albion.

THE GUIANA CHRONICLE, AND DEMERARA GAZETTE

The Paris Papers contain the following intelligence from the Frontiers of Persia :—

“ St. Petersburgh, Oct. 14.“ In a report, dated 24th Sept., General Yermoloff has

stated to the Emperor, that very soon after his victory at the river Schamkhor, and his occupation of Elizabethpol, Major-General Prince Madatofl’ learned that Abbas Mirza had effected a junction with Allaiar Khan, son-in-law of the Scliah, and that he was marching to meet him, and Had already passed the Terter. The General immediately sent notice to General Paskewitcb, who joined him on the night of the 21st, at Eiizabethpol. These joint forces amounted to 8,000 infantry, 15,000 tolerable cavalry, as many more badly armed, and 25 pieces of cannon. No intelligence of the Scliali himself has, up to this moment, been received The Persian troops have been obliged to raise the siege of Scliouchi, and Colonel Reut having made a sortie, has gained a considerable advantageover them. Ameer Khan, Abbas Mirza’s uncle, was killed in the battle of the 15th of Sept., in which the Jess of the enemy was much greater than at first announced, at least 2,000 men killed and wounded. On the side of Erivan, Hassian Khan, brother of the Sardar, attacked, on the night of the IJ th of Sept., the village situated on the steppe of Poloria with 3,000 cavalry, and carried off the cattle. The troops stationed in the district of Djelal-Oglou, immediately marched to the number of three companies, with tbeir artillery, and pressed so hard on the enemy, that they were obliged to abandon the greater part of their booty, and to retire with some loss. Major-General Prince Menchikoff was present at this af­fair, and took part in it, with a company of the 7th Regt, of Carabineers, and a piece of artillery. After the sortie from Elizabethpol, the Sardar of Erivan directed his march upon Chamchadil, by the lake Nekha, where he encamped near the mouth of the little river Djeham, and endeavoured by his menaces to excite a revolt among the tribes that had continued loyal to us. He intends also to pillage the na­tives of the district of Kazask, who, from the sojourn of our troops, near the river Akstapha, have been, for the most part, reduced to obedience, and armed against thr Persians.

“ General Yermoloff adds to these details that every thing is quiet in Dhaghestan, and on the line of Caucasus, anti that he set out on the 24th for the districts of Kazask and Chamchadil. in order to repress the ravages threatened by the Sardar of Erivan. His detachment is composed of the second battalion of the combined regiment of the guard, of a battalion of the infantry of Chirvan, a battalion of mixed troops, 400 Cossacks, and twelve guns. Lastly, General Y&rmoloff’ informs his Majesty that he had received a report from General Paskewitch, bearing, that on the 25th of September, at seven versts (5| miles nearly) from Eli­zabethpol, he had been attacked by the Persians under Abbas Mirza, two of his sons, and his son-in-law ; that the fo ce of the enemy was 15,000 infantry, about 20,000 ca­valry, and 26’ pieces of artillery; but that, after a short combat, they were completely beaten and routed. The enemy lost in this action 1,100 soldiers and nine officers taken prisoners, as well 2 Khans, 4 standards, 3 guns, a falconet, and 80 caissons. On the side of the Russians, the brave Lieut.-Colonel Grekoff, 2 officers of the infantry of Cliirvan, and 45 soldiers were killed ; and one superior and 8 subaltern officers, and 240 soldiers wounded. The enemy were in complete route ; they had abandoned their baggage, and were closely pursued by General Paskewitch, and there was reason to believe that the whole Province of Karabagh was thus delivered from the perfidious inroad of the Persians.

“ On this news being announced yesterday at mid-day, the cannons of the fort were tired, and in the evening there utis a grand illumination.”

cash credit. Candour is not likely to provoke panic.Let us suppose, for example, that A. B., of the parish

of C. and county of D., obtained a credit of one thou­sand pounds in the National Ledger by pledging his estate of E., worth two thousand pounds—he draws out as many notes of 10l., or higher denomination, ae suits his perfect convenience; and for the remainder of the sum, notes under that value, which form a class peculiar to the district or division in which he resides. These are payable to him; and indorsed bj him before ' paying them away. Here is, in the first instance, a check to forgery almost amounting to a prevention;— for it ought always to be borne in mind, that it is the vast quantity of the medium imitated and its vast ex­tent of range over the whole kingdom, which offers temptation and the chance of impunity to the forger. Limit that medium to a circle of a few miles, and guard it by signatures and other checks well known in that circle, and then the smallness of the sum that could be forged, the difficulty attending the forgery, and the im­minent risk of immediate detection, must operate so strongly as to eradicate the crime.

It is in our contemplation that the National Paper would become the circulating medium in every part of the country; for were it possible to believe, the owners of property in any particular quarter so insensible to the benefits that must arise to them from the command of capital, as to decline availing themselves of it—still, transfers of securities from one person or one body to another, would speedily spread this currency over the whole land. But, for the reasons we have stated, we would not have have it of a common and universal sameness. Every circle, district, or division, on the contrary, should have its own peculiar note (especially the small notes, if any exception were made with re­gard to the large ones), which note should be limited and confined to the district for the use of which it was issued. The small note of Manchester should not tra­vel to Liverpool for circulation, nor the small note of such a part of Surrey be current in such a part of Kent. Every portion should be distinctly localised, and by the daily and usual practice of exchanges, not the slight­est inconvenience could ensue; while, on the other hand, the sterling paper, as well as the security on which it rested, would be familiar to the holder of every pound. The workman who look his wages on Saturday evening should be able, from always seeing the same thing, to distinguish it perfectly from any imi­tation, and at the same time to feel that such a piece of paper was the note of an opulent neighbour, whose estate was pledged to the nation and to hint for secur­ity. Upon what ground, let me ask, could any panic or run arise out of a coinage or circulating medium of this wholesome stamp? What could be feared by the holder? What more or better Could be wanted by any party from whom he wished to purchase a commodi­ty?*

GREECE.The Liverpool Commercial Chronicle of Oct. 28. contains

the following proclamation from“ LORD COCHRANE,

“ To his countrymen who chose the profession of arms a- broad, previous to the passing of the Foreign Enlistment Act; and to all others, who are free to promote the ends of humanity and justice—Hail!“ Companions and Friends!—The vast possessions of

Spain and Portugal being delivered from the colonial yoke —the former raised to the rank of Independent States, the latter to the title of an Empire—nothing further can be done by you in that quarter, to better the condition of man. The basis of freedom and prosperity being laid, time, intercouise with other nations, experience to be acquired by the rules, and knowledge by the people, can alone confer the bles­sings of enlightened Governments, and national security, from the administration of just laws.

“ Your labours, then, having terminated in the New World, let us turn our eyes towards a people, whose present Condition, compared with their former greatness, fills the heart with grief. Let us hasten to compare our task, in assisting the oppressed descendants of the once free, illus­trious Greeks, now struggling under the galling yoke of slavery, rendered insupportable by the most atrocious cruel­ties, and by the sad consideration that the oppression under which they groan, is actively upheld, or unfeelingly sanc­tioned, by those whose duty it is to promote the civilization atnd welfare of mankind.

■ “ In this humane and glorious enterprise we shall be joined, from all countries, by multitudes who, like our­selves, have no penalties to dread. The result is sure, both with regard to those whom you will assist, and yourselves; for the Grecian people, like the wise Government of North America, will receive, as brethren and friends, every man who, by his talent, his industry, his capital, or his strength,_ shall add to the welfare, riches, or security of the State.

“ To notice to you the contiguity of Greece to your own homes, its central position amidst the nations of Europe, the amenity of its climate, the fertility of its soil, the rich­ness of its productions, the diversity and beauty of scenery, or its aptitude for commerce, were superfluous. But to re- inindyou that a hew field will there at once be thrown open for manufactures and the arts—that nine-tenths of this de­lightful region, and of those once fertile lands, lie desert and abandoned—the flocks and herds, and the soil itself, within a fortnight’s sail of the North of Europe, are worth­less, in the absence of cultivators and consumers—is a duty which is due to Greece, and to you.

“ Hasten then to the relief of this suffering people ; rest satisfied that you will lie received with open arms, as citi­zens and as friends, and that no man shall fail to meet the just reward of his labour in this Christian and glorious un­dertaking,

“ Adieu !—-Unite at the Island of Salamis (the theatre of immortal deeds in former day) ; there again the crown of victory awaits those who advocate the cause of Greece and Liberty !

Let us figure to ourselves Great Britain divided in­to ten thousand parishes or circles, and supplied, a-greeably to this method, with a currency of loool. each,as follows :—

1 Note of £100 . . . .......................1004 ................ 50 . . . .......................200

10 ................ 20 . . . .......................20020 ................ 10 . . . ...................... 20020 ...................... 10050 ................. 2 . . . .......................100

100 ................. 1 . . ............. '. . . 100In all 205 notes, indorsed, as before prescribed, by

the customer only, but without his incurring any re­sponsibility. Here we have readily and simultaneous­ly issued the sum of ten millions sterling j-, which a- mount can be augmented ns readily if required by cir­cumstances, or gradually and easily diminished by the receipt of taxes or other means, should a partial ab­sorption be found necessary. But do not let it be for­gotten, that whether increased or lessened, the matter is to be publicly and openly done. Every occurrence, and the state of the Bank at any moment, must be on the face of its transactions, and comprehensible at one glance. From hour to hour, by regular and clear books, kept constantly7 up to the latest period, it should be obvious what number of notes were issued, of what kinds they were, and where the radius of circulation had demanded their augmentation, and where their diminution. In a local point of view, it appears to us that this system would be perfect in its operation, and that there would always be money enough for the de­mand, money to stimulate industry, and money with which to carry on business of every kind, without the bane of debts and credits; in other words, of frauds and extortions, that grind the faces of the poor.

* It would be quite satisfactory to any labourer, mechan­ic, or shopkeeper, holding a one pound note in his band, to say, “That field which I can see daily within a hundred yards of my abode is answerable for this piece of paper—for its being worth what it is denominated, “ a pound sterling;” it is no matter whether the land is itself worth ten pounds, or five, or only two, it is sufficient security for the circulat­ing medium in my possession, for which it is openly pledg­ed, and liable before all other claims or demands whatever.” Unless all value is an abstract quality ar fiction,—unless a bar of gold or silver is intrinsically superior to fifty acres of cultivated land, then, assuredly, the currency, amply secur­ed upon the latter, must be preferable to that which it is the utmost aim of those who insist upon what they call real values in currency to have convertible at will into precious metals.

f Suppose the amount quadrupled, or sextupled, and you have, with the same ease, a perfect and secure sterling cur­rency for the whole business of the country; authorised by the legislature, and limited to a maximum, so that no un­due influence in any quarter could ever arise.

you might as well have said gentleman." The fellow did not care about being proved a thief, but he could not endure tw be described in other terms than those of a gentleman. As all our ragga muffins are gentlemen, so they are of course all Misters. Some time ago we asked n fagged, vagabond urchin, what his name was? and kb give us a gracious permission to address him by his style, in these words—“You may call me Mr. Hdlas.” At the public meetings of journeymen and labourers, all the speakers are Misters. There was a time when these honest fellows would have spurned at an assumption which did not belong to them; but their ideas haveaindergone a change, and instead of making jest of their betters, they seem now content that their betters sliuuld make a jest of them for their ridiculous pretcnsimis. The language of the mob is as aspiring as their fleas. The lower we descend in life, the more lofty wc lind the style of the colloquy, the finer the expresskins, the more circuitous the phrases. Certain common words are completely exploded among the vulgar, The Maritornes at au ale-house does not ask the guest whether he will have any thing to eat or drink, but whether lie will take any refreshment. Eat­ing and drinking are quite out with our gentlemen and ladies—they refresh themselves, with onion and Chesh­ire cheese, and gin and beer. Their ideas are now so fine on the subject of diction, that it is a perilous thing to spsik before them, unless we dress our discourse in the '■»>; grandest articles in our vocabulary; for if they Susp**-; default in elegance or propriety of expres­sion, or correctness of pronunciation, they pick us up wiiho.ut mercy. We once asked a boat-man at South­end, whether there was not a cart to carry one ashore over the, long sand that runs out there? The man looked at us with considerable contempt; and, think­ing it of more consequence to correct our speech than to satisfy our curiosity, echoed and then amended our words—“ To carry one ashore ! A carrywAS you mean, Sir.” This was one of those emendations that, as Johnson says, raise the commentator above the au­thor; and our critic lost none of the advantage of it, for we never from that moment could get him to treat us with any kind of consideration. He looked down with too much contempt on the ignorance that could allow us to talk of a cart to carry one, instead of a carrywan.

IJhe gentlemen of the newspapers, like l\\e gentlemen of the mob, delight in roundabout phrases and fine ex­pressions. Nobody ever sees the word lightning in a newspaper—it is always the electric fluid. The sea is in entire disuse—it is always, in defiance of geography, “the briny ocean," even in the Straits of Calais; or, in defiance of fact, “ the unfathomable deep.” Thanks to th^ careless natures of’ servants, and the combustible natures of our houses, fire is the subject of five or six paragraphs in every journal; but who ever sees so vul­gar a thing as fire mentioned, beyond the beading de­scription of the event?—when we come to the parti­culars, we find that all the mischief has been done by the “ devouring element."

NATIONAL POLITY AND FINANCE.C Continued from our Paper of November 22. J

Having explained the foundation whereon it is posed to erect the system to which it is the object of these papers to invite public attention and discussion; and having shown by what means and under what su­perintendence a sterling national paper might be fram­ed and issued, we need hardly take much pains to re­peat and enforce the positions on which we take our stand. The Note or Token representing the land, or funds, or bullion, of Great Britain, which it is the spir­it of our design to circulate, should, besides being sterling, speak nothing but the truth. It should not, as the Bank note of this date, say, “ I promise to pay on demand” that which it is well known cannot be paid od demand, there being perhaps not twenty millions of gold in the country with which to discharge sixty mil­lions of paper; nor could that small modicum be long retained in it by any means with certainty, whilst im- providentlv dispersed, throughout the nation, subject to the dealers’ grasp. Our symbol should, on the con­trary, expressly declare its nominal value, and that it either was or was not convertible, as the case might be; and that it was secured to double its amount, or more, upon landed or funded property originating in a

REFINEMENTS OF THE VULGAR.A great change has taken place in the language and

manners of the mob within a few years. Our populace, which used formerly to be remarkable for their brief and too significant forms of speech, are now distin­guished for the pre-eminent finery of their expressions: they used also to scoff at aristocratical distinctions, and make jests even of the names of respect, which they now adopt and bestow on each other with an air of grave punctilio inexpressibly droll. “ Man” and “wo­man” were the terms of address of old among the low­er classes; but they have given place to “gentleman” and “lady.” Our mobs are now composed of gentle­men and ladies. St. Giles’s swarms with gentlemen and ladies. If two chimney-sweepers are taking their friendly glass of gin at the door of the public-house, the landlord, when he hands the liquor to the one, will be directed by him to “help that gentleman first,” meaning the other sooty personage. The same polite­ness of address prevails amongst the fish-women, bar- row-women, char-women, basket-women, &c.; they are all ladies. It is “ this lady,” and “ that lady” with them, not only in their amicable communing®, but often even in the heat of battle. Thus we have heard of a virago who explained, in thp Parliamentary language, thus—“ It wan’t you, ma’am, what I called b— b —, it was t’other lady what I called b— b—.” The gen­tlemen too, as they never deny the title to each other, are extremely jealous of any appearance of its being denied to themselves. Thus-, at a police-office, the other d'ay, when a witness, in giving evidence against a thief, used the expressions, “and so I found him OHt,” the rogue’s pride taking the alarm at the familiarity of the pronoun, he stopped the deponent in the midst of his story, to remark, “ Found him out,indeed! I think

such a state is attributed by the physicians to his re­markably strong constitution. One of these gentle­men has asserted that, on opening of the body, the region of the breast -and lungs will be found in the most healthy and entact state. One of the last times the Archbishop of Paris (who has repeatedly endea­voured to gain admittance to Talma) presented him­self at his house, and was refused by one of the patient’s relations to be brought into his presence, he said, “You probably suppose that my intentions are very different from what they are in reality. Mv motives are noble and elevated. For a long time back I have been endeavouring to procure from the Court of Rome, that the ridiculous excommunication pronounced a- gainst actors should be taken off, and the present cir­cumstance may most powerfully conduce to the success of my endeavours. Talma dying in peace with the Church would furnish me with a puissant argument.— Moreover, I promise you not to say a single word about religion, until Talma shall himself mention the subject.” Il is said, that the last lime the Archbishop called, and met, as before, with a refusal, he lost all patience, and vehemently apostbrophized Talma’s ne­phew, a physician, in the following terms:—“Unfor­tunate man ! see what a responsibility yon are drawing on your head. Great as is my indignation, 1 cannot here punish yon for such unworthy conduct—my re­ligion forbids me. But on the day of judgment, where all the souls of my flock shall appear in the presence of God, mine shall pursue yours, and call upon it to answer for the loss of an immortal soul.” The young physician listened calmly to these terrible menace*, and firmly, but respectfully, refused to introduce his Grace. The Archbishop did not again return. Madle. Vanhove, Talma’s wife, also wished to be admitted to bis bedside, .and he refused to see her. She did not insist, but said, “ I am sorry not to be permitted to see him once more. Tell him, I entreat you, that 1 came to offer him to share my fortune with bis children.”-— Madame Vanhove has upwards of 40,000f. a year, that had been left her by Dr. Moreau (De la Sarthe) with whom she had lived. It is precisely this fortune that prevented any reconcilliation between her and Talma, and induced him to refuse seeing her in his last mo­ments. “As my wife is now wealthy,” said he, “it would no doubt be said that I became reconciled to her through motives of interest. Her fortune places an insurmountable barrier between us.” One of the theatrical journals of this morning, gives the following account of Talma’s last, moments:—Talma preserved all his intellectual faculties to the last moment. He felt no acute pain, and only complained of having a cloud before his eyes. He perfectly recognised the friends around hisobed, and seeing Messrs. Jouy, Ar­nault, and Dovilliers, he stretched out his arms, wept, and embraced them. He said to his Nephew, “The physicians know nothing of my disease. Recommend them to open my body (hat it may be useful to my fellow creatures;” and in a moment alter he said, “ Let there be no Priests.' all I ask is, not to be buried too soon.” Some time before, he exclaimed, “ What do they require of me, to make me abjure the art to which I owa all iriy glory, an art that I idolize? to deny the forty brightest years of tny life, to separate my cause from that of my comrades, and to acknow­ledge them to be infamous? Never!” A few moments before his death he murmured in a faint voice, “ Vol­taire! Voltaire! as Voltaire!” Thus the greatest tragedian of this age expired in invoking the name of the greatest tragic genius of the last age.

ord; but now nobody dances in newspapers— “trip it on the light fantastic toe.” Does the

neak up at day-break? No; they did formerly,

“ in the state in which women wish to be who love their lords;” now they are neither “ with child,” nor “pregnant,” nor are they “in the state in which women wish to be who love their lords,” but they are enceruie—that is the last refinement. We never now read of thieves—they are depredators, and the young rogues ate juvenile delinquents. Cut-throats at the foot of the gallows are the unfortunate men; and any crime short of murder, if committed by genteel per­sons, is termed an affair. Murder itself cannot be considered in a very serious light, seeing that the per­petrators of it are only unfortunate; people to be piti­ed rather than blamed, when they come—not to be hanged—such a coarse phrase is unknown, but “ to suffer the awful sentence of the law,” and to be “ launch­ed into eternity.”

The commonest things are sublimited too, like the worst subjects, by poetic phrases, or the substitution 6f the description of their sufficiently notorious quali­ties for their mere names. Meat we saw, the other day, described in a print, as “ that very nutritious arti­cle of food.” Strong beer is “the intoxicating bever­age;” wine is never now mentioned—it is always “the juice of the grape.” Drunk is a word of unseen vul­garity; a fellow, roaring and reeling drunk with gin, is represented io the newspapers as one “ flushed with the Tiuscan grape.”

Some of the leaders of our journals, in their anxiety to steer clear of these extraordinary refinements of the vulgar, rup into a familiarity and boldness of expres­sion which is often as amusing as the other stvle is offensive. The leading articles of the Morning Herald are sometimes uncommonly familiar in their style. A short time ago that paper exhorted Government to “ stir itself Why does not Government stiritself about?” The phrase conveys very odd ideas, and conjures up images by no means savoury. The Times, too, whose style is at once plain and pompous — like a warm man, who dresses himself simply, but bears himself proudly—now and then startles us by a queer phrase; such, for instance, as this—“ they (the country journals) dare not wag a pen." When the general style is inflated, these sudden descents into familiarity strike one as ludicrous. But when many columns of a paper are filled with those fine flourishes which we have noted, the journalist, in vindication of his owh taste, perhaps, thinks it necessary to show that he I?’no t ashamed to be homely on occasion.—Atlas.

—It was not until five o’clock vester-Pat fc Oct. 20.- .. . __________ ___day miming, that Talma began to be convinced, by the extreme prostration of all his faculties, and the film, tl at spread itself before his eyes, that his dissolu­tion w is approaching.

THE FUN ERA L.

According tn his last desin\ the .mortal remains of Talma were this day carried direct from his bouse, to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise. At ten o’clock precisely, the funeral procession set out. It consisted of a magnificent hearse drawn by four horses, fifteen mourning coaches. Talma’s carriage, with those of Mille. Mars and Mlle. Duchesnois, and two or three other empty ones, having their curtains lowered. In an open carriage was Madame Boustan (Mademoiselle Volnais) in mourning, and in a second, which imme­diately followed, were M. Ancelot and M. Soumet, and in a third were M. Casimir Perrier and his two sons. In the first mourning coach wc noticed M. Arhault, sen. and M. de Jouy, habited in the costume of the Institute. All the others were empty, the fine­ness of the weather having allowed Talma’s fricml , who were to have gone in them, to follow the proces­sion on foot, which they preferred.

The number of persons composing it may be esti­mated at three or four thousand, almost all young persons, at the head of whom walked several distin­guished by decorations. M. Mecliin, in his costume as a deputy, and the performers of the Theatres Royal, all bare-headed, marching in the greatest order and silence. Numbers, by the expression of their face ., shewed the profound grief with which they were pene­trated.

The procession arrived at Pere la Chaise, at about half-past eleven o’clock. The place of sepulture was on one of the heights to the right, not far from the monument of Marshal Massena, and bordering upon that of the Despaux family.

Midway up the steep leading to it, the hearse stop­ped; twelve young men then carried the coffin to the borders of the grave destined to receive it.

From an early hour in the morning, a considerable crowd, amounting, perhaps, to 20,000 persons, had filled the cemetery, and when the coffin was brought into it, they assembled round the tomb. ft was not without difficulty that the persons carrying the coffin, with the friends, and even the orators themselves, were able to get within the circle. With the excep­tion of this slight disorder, which only arose out of u pardonable anxiety, every thing passed with the great­est propriety, and religious respect.

The Journal des Debats of Sunday, from whence we take this account, proceeds to give two or three co­lumns of extracts from the funeral orations, delivered over the grave, by Lafon and De Jouy. It mentions also, that an oration was delivered by M. Arhault, sen., and an extemporaneous discourse by M. Toulotte, and that a copy of vetses, recited by a gentleman, whose name was not known, terminated the mourn­ful solemnity.

The following observations from the Eloile, of Mon­day, relates to the same subject:—“We read in a certain Journal, that, as we had well foreseen, the anti-religious funeral of Talma attracted a mighty concourse of people, and the scandal has been carrn d as far as it could go. There were more spectaio . than even at the funeral of General Foy. When we make this remark, we do so to shew that the name of Talma was a mere pretext, and that the object of the assemblage was any thing else than a wish to honour the memory of that great tragedian. It is but just also to add, that the tragedian had this advantage over the Military Deputy, that he had not traverse the Church on his wav to his field of rest. To appreciate this matter justly, and to see it in all its extent, it is sufficient to know one fact which Liberalism dare not and will not contest. It bad been agreed before hand by that party, that if Talma reconciled himself to the Church, not one of them would attend his funeral; and we may rest assured, that the party would have kept its word, for that party, disciplined 3nd led by the journals devoted to it, acts and moves as ono man,

• The following specimen of’the wtuf/cT ia modo (co- pied from an Irish puper) will aflortl a to-’erably fair il-

rlusti ation of the d -scrip' ion of persons assembled at a ■ inner given bitei, at tldnegal to Daniel O’Connell, Esq. after a Catholic meeting:—“I’ll thank you,” srid a spruce dandyfied voting gentleman, from the town of Lctterkenny, to Corner MtQuillan, a grutTfar- mcr from Dru'muckaladeri’v, near Ballinagallaglagh,

I’ii thank you, Sir, for the mustard that’s near you.” 11 I wants none of your thanks,” said Gorney, thanks are cheap — make a long arm, or want; as for my part, I’m better engaged than to bother myself with you.”—

.Aaatliei* fellow, from TyaTmon, whose name is M‘A- ward, wishing to display a liberal feeling towards a Protest nt who was present, vociferated—“ Long life to \ou, Shcmish O’Siuclair—and if ever heretic grop­ed his way to purgatory, may you get there, and have an c.a-ay cast of it. Here’s bad luck to them that does not w ish you well, says I ; and n part of this to you,” s.iid the fellow, half emptying a three-go of three-and-

which had never seen the face of an exciseman, .the dregs of which poor Mr. S.----- was obliged, forthe sake of popularity to swallow.—After the doth was cleared, the following toasts were given, and of < ourse drank with enthusiasm:—‘‘The King of Eng­land, and conversion to him."—“ The Lord Lieutenant, and prosperity to Ireland and the Marchioness Welles­ley.” —“ Daniel 0’Connel, and may he soon be Lord

• Chancellor.“ The Pope, the Right Rev, Dr. M‘Get- tigan, Lord Bishop of Raplioe, and our Holy Mother the Church —may she soon regain her former influence'’ —“ Confusion to all Heretics." The distinguished individual whom we have assembled to entertain, and may he soon be a Member of Parliament, and not only •that, but a Knight Liberator.

Extraordinary Credulity.—A man, in the prime of -life-(though perhaps not arrived at years of discretion) a servant to a clergyman near Keynsham, has literally been the dupe of a female gypsey, who has artfully suc­ceeded it) obtaining from him, a few weeks since, near­ly 20l. in cash, his watch, best coat, two waistcoats, two shirts, &c. &c. under the promise of meeting him at 1 1 o’clock on the folfowing Friday night, in Keyn- slnmi Hams, where he was to come with a pick-axe

‘and spade, to dig up a buried treasure, exceeding the value of 30’001. in gold and 30001. in silver, from a spot she was to point out to him. /After desiring him to say his prayers every night, she obliged him to swear to keep his appointment with her a profound secret until alter the specified time of meeting. The silly fellow punctually kept his assignation, carrying with •him, in addition to the implements for obtaining the treasure, a large box to take it away in, and after waiting for several hours returned with having only obtained a severe cold. Perhaps the greatest act of folly he committed was his exposing his credulity to his neighbours the next morning, who have since lost no opportunity of exercising their wit in jeering the credulous simpleton.

Cure for the Tooth-ache.—At a recent meeting o- the Loudon Medical Society, Dr. Blake stated that the extraction or exci-ion of teeth was unnecessary, lie was enabled, he said, to cure the most desperate cases of tooth-ache (unless the disease was connected with rheumatism), by the application of the following remedy to the diseased tooth:—“ Alum, reduced to an impalpable powder, two drachms; nitrous spirit of asther, seven drachms; mix, and apply them to the tooth.” Mr. Fay, the American dentist, who was present, admitted, with much candour, than in 95 cases out <4’100, where surgeons and dentists are applied to for the purpose of extraction, relief might be obtained without that, or even excision. It may therefore be worth while to try the remedy prescribed by Dr. Blake, as, unlike many of the nostrums of the present day, it cannot do any harm, but it does not appear to possess the character of a specific. Mr. Fay submitted his in­struments for exci.rion ami extraction to the inspection of the meeting, and he received some well-merited en- coniums for the improvement which he has introduced in the practice of the dentist.

Ten thousand pounds reward is offered to any per­son, or set of persons, who will truly and satisfactorily answer the following simple questions:—Who wrote the book which bears the name of Thomas a Kempis? —Who was Perkin Warbeck?—Was Queen Mary an accomplice m the murder of Lord Darnley?—Who' was the prisoner in the iron mask?—Who was the writer of the Whole Duty of Man?—Who wrote the letters of Junius?—Who wrote Icon Baslike ? We would add one more question—Who offers the reward? —John Bull.

When the news of the Coronation of the Emperpr Nicholas reached Riga, the utmost joy was expressed by the authorities and inhabitants. Among other mark-, of rejoicing red and w hite wine flowed to every one who chose to drink, from a public fountain, erect­ed in the shape of an imperial eagle, in the market­place. A splendid ball and illuminations in the even­ing, closed the festivities.

Mr. Kenny, the popular dramatist, the other day in drinking a glass of wine inadvertently swallowed some small substance which was floating on the surface, which nearly chocked him—a friend seeing his distress, and anxious to proclaim to his companion the sad state of the case, exclaimed, “ It is Cork—gone the wrong way.” “ I dont know whether it is the wrong way for Cork,” said a wag who was present, “ but it seems to be a very likely way to Kill-Kenny,"

Braham happened to form part of the vocal corps at the late York Musical Festival; and on one of the days Vaughan was singing what he considered his favourite song. A friend of Braham’s inquired “ what he. thought of the performance?” “ Why,” replied Braham, “ lie—certainly—is—a chaste singer." “Pray what may that be?” returned the other. “A chaste sinner,” said B., “ is one who has never ravished an audience."

A Yorkshireman taking the advice of his Counsel on a law-suit in which his fortune depended, his ad­vocate told him lie would be cast, and shewed him “East’s Reports.” “Never mind,” said the suitor, “the Judges may not remember it;” and while he was discussing the matter, the Counsel was called out on some business, when, seizing the opportunity, the countryman ent the disagreeable pages clean out of the book, and stuffed them into his fob. His case came <xn, and he got the verdict; on which the lawyer con­gratulated him. “ O, Sir,” he replied, “I could not lose, for I have taken special care to keep the law against me in my pocket.”—This could hardly be call­ed taking the. law into his own hands, and is perhaps the first instance of an ignorant client who ever pock­eted any thing by litigation.

The. length of the Thames Tunnel, from shaft to shaft, will be 1,100 feet, when completed; the number of men at present employed, is about 230, besides the officers of the establishment, who relieve each other every night, and they cart away about 100 loads of rubbish per day. The bricks consumed are about 70,000 ner week, and ca-ks of cement 360; the dis tuace already completed is about 295 feet, and the- jveckly progress about feet.
