JJq-om the Londdn Courier of April 13th.. House of Lords this evening.—At a quarter before four o’clock, the Lord Chancellor* the Earl ol Shaftsbury, and Lord Ellenborough, appeared in their robes as his Majesty s Commis sioners. A message having,been sent lor the Attendance, of the Commons, after a short time, The Speaker and a considerable ©umber of Members appeared et the Bar. The Lords Commissioners then gave his Majesty’s Royal Assent to the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, Irish forty Shilling Freeholders Dis franchisement Bill, and a number of Private Bills; and thus has the meas ure become the law of the land. Forty or lifty Peers were present. The Duke of Norfolk was in attend ance. - ' > > House of Commons this evening.— The Speaker too!\ the chair to-day at half past three, and was shortly after summoned to the House of Lords, to hear the royal assent given, by com mission, to certain bills. The Speak er immediately proceeded to the Lords, attended by more than a hun dred members. On the return of the Speaker, the announcement by him that the royal assent bad been given to the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, was received with the loudest cheers we ever heard within tlie walls of this house. This Bill became operative on the _23d April, (St. George’s Day.) Long ere this the English Catholic Peers, have taken their seats in the House of Lords. They arc eight in number, viz: the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Lord Clifford, Lord Arundel, Lord Dormer, Lord Petre, Lord Stafford, Lord Stourton. The Irish Catholic Peers can only sit in the House of Lords as Representative Peers; but on foregoing certain privi leges, they may, like Protestant'Irish Peers, sit in the House of Commons, on being elected for any place in England. “meanness” to go and raise the poor tvidow’s house without whiskey! Svhat a glaring infringement cf rights! thus to dash the hopes of a dozen or twenty men, whose mouths were’ opened and watering for two gallons of whiskey!—Western Intelligencer. Newspapers!— The price of tlie Canton, (China) Register is 50 cents a number; and the size about one third as large as the sheet in the read er’s hands. The price of a London daily paper, without the privilege of advertising, is 40 dollars. Of a Ndtv York paper, 10 dollars. 01 the Mcr- curio Peruano published daily at Lima, small size, 12 1-2 cents a number.— Of the Journal dl Commercio, pub lished daily at Rio Janeiro, small size, 15 dollars per annum. Diario de la ilabana, small, 24 dollars. Of the Gaceta Mercantil, Buenos Ayres,‘dai ly sniall, 48 dollars. British Packet, same place, weekly, 10 dollars. Na tional Gazette of Greece, twice a week, small, 24 dollars. Journal du Havre, daily, small, 9 dollars, 37 1-2 cents'. Journal du Commerce, Paris, 15 dollars. Gibraltar Chronicle, ve ry small, 8 dollars. Considering the size of American Newspapers, and the quantity of mat ter, they are unquestionably cheaper than any tiling else of the kind, the world over. Execution.—The sentence of the committing the crime,to the last, Si con*] o^-a dWti,*»ZT e- Noutii West Passage, proved by Inhales.—It is said that whales which which have been harpooned in the Greenland Seas have been found in the Pacific Ocean; and whales, with some lances sticking in their feet, (a kind of weapon used by no nation now known,) have been caught both in the sea of Spitsbergen and in Davis’ Straight. The following, says a writer, is one of the authorities for this fact, which of all arguments yet offered in favor of the transpolar pas sage, seems to be the most sutislac- tory.—Hump. &cn. “A Dutch East India Captain of the name of Jacob Cool, of Sardatfi, •who had been several times at Green land, and u'as of course well acquaint ed with the nature of the apparatus used, in the whale fishery, was in formed by the Fischnl Zeeman, of In dia, that in the sea of Tartary there was a whale taken, in the back of which was sticking a Dutch harpoon, marked with the letters W. B. This curious circumstance was communi cated to Peter Jansz Vischer, prob ably a Greenland whaler, who dis covered that the harpoon in question had belonged to William Batiaanz, Admiral of the Dutch Greenland tleet, and had been struck into the whale in the Spitzbergen sea.” “Coercion.”—A widow in a neigh boring town had occasion to make a raising.—When all was ready, she in vited her neigbors to come, and raise her house. It had become customa ry with the members of the Temper ance Society in the place, to raise •their buildings without the aid of whiskey. This circumstance seems to have excited some suspicion in the minds of the good lady’s neighbors, that she might possibly have been somewhat infected with the super stitious and oppressive heresy, that it was not good to have whiskey at raisings. On learning by inquiry that she did' not design to provide any, they in their spirit of freedom, peremptorily refused to raise her house, unless she woud furnish them with two gallons of whiskey. Thus these gentlemen, who hold in such just abhorrence all coercive measures for the promotion of temperance, left the poor widow at perfect liberty either to feed them with two gallons of whiskey, or go houseless.—This di lemma came to the knowledge of the Temperance Society in the other part of the township, who had the law was on Thursday 7th in&t. execut ed on Catharine Cashiere, and John son, the murderer of Mrs. Newman. They were taken from Bridewell at eight o’clock in the morning, and con veyed to tlie Penitentiary at Bellevue in a close carriage, so rapidly as to bailie the immense crowd (bat bad collected in their attempt to follow the procession. Thence they were taken to Blackwell's Island, where a gallows had been erected the preced ing night, and were executed a few minutes past eleven. They were at tended by clergyman, but, for might we can learn, died as they had lived. Notwithstanding the silence of the Sheriff respecting the hour and place of execution, many thousands were present. Several boats full of pas sengers were upset, and by one ac cident of the kind, several persons; some reports say 8, and others 12— were drowned—N. Y. paper. sequently must have gdiie before bis God with a'lie on his tongue. He was very hardened, and showed an indifference to his fate.—No one doubted but that lie was guilty. Negro Adam, who was under sen tence to be hung on the same day, was reprieved by the Governor, there being some doubt whether tlie offeuce was committed after night, or just before darkU-for to constitute burglary the house must be broke open '■'■after night.”— Western Carolinian. A door alarum lias been invented by Mr. Robert Frazer, Lapidary of I London, intended for shops and ware- 1 houses, which have the keyhole of the , ordinary lock covered by a hasp and padlock. The catch goes off, and the 1 alarm-bell commences ringing the moment the hasp is withdrawn, scr that the thief finds his operations expos ed long before lie gets the door open. Even-handed justice.—The York (Upper Canada) Gazette, contains six columns of Sheriff’s sales, and an ad vertisement by the Coroner, to sell out the sheriff. There arc about 14 papers publish ed in the State of Alabama. The New York Enquirer says, that the alledged deficit in tlie Treasu ry, in the causes of which the name of Dr. Watkins lias been implicated, amounts to $12,00U. Important rumour.—There is a ru mour that Spain is about recogniz ing the Independence of the South American States, and that so to se cure some peculiar advantages, site will make a demonstration upon some of her old possessions with a naval and military force. A letter from Havanali, dated 2d April, repeats the account that an ( armament was fitting out at Cadiz for Cuba. In Amelia County, Va. the small pox has subsided.—Ofiabout 60 per sons who had been in the hospital, an old woman and two children only, were retained through caution. Two deaths only bad occurred; both before the establishment of the hospital, and both persons of dissolute habits. •li** ©i ft.l^y iflKl'P O'ASGT DRE01— $z jtfs fyhoexJiA? 0>r-ar uk.S'z japt GX tlJi ROAE O'0-'ll 0 J hli'->A4AI»I J X>4T DbKGI- ET.-T\W1«V* fiber O'G- ■e-i) bitXti-JiA £Z -&ec.za»t drew uEof* O-TP# C«y O'T.AWwsWlT 8«4> JWO-ZA 0" J»0-4T teCr U^VlYUaiAA AF&a 0“(VK4T v»«<f tea teeny* dreot ©Xo-m Dh«y filiZ 0'I»y4T 8A-<iT WW14”* D-pl- TCTG3P se^ DE6K ««£ *A?T Gotyz OHitfT Di.Z 0-a) O-ahoi WaT (MmW.ll DrtAF. ♦'Ti-z y«.v tisr 3 i..rjtf jajo-Rt A<ueyz ^R<fT £ AOAtfPc-tPT C«y TCr^A-tlA DR- j B®Z B«AE 0»(&y*4T imi TirT DEOJ- SA- I -4T ©lrCo-iP Gotyz 0-JF«)A\VAT O'lihCfT I O'vactaz siiCviTKrfT Oi-H yvvz O'0'i«F4T ; tfbFoFT TiShr AOPSrh DIiEOI- O'OFAO-A !

York, drew in with their seine, a small jar, hermetically scaled, enclosed in several tarred envelopes of canvas, on the opening of which was found a scrip of parch ment, written in French, containing an account of an expedition on its way from Montreal to Niagara, under La Monton, in 1664! The Pennsylvania ship of the line, now building at the • Navy Yard in Philadelphia, is said to be the great est curiosity in naval architecture in tlie World. She has three decks, is pierced for 160 guns, but will proba bly carry 200, with a complement of 1400 men! Her best power anchor weighs 10,171 lbs, and her ordnance arc 42 pounders. To Fly Catchers and Tea Drinkers— A London Magazine, says that “Prus sic Acid has been obtained from the leaves of green tea in 60 concentrated a state, that one drop killed a dog al most instantaneously. A strong in fusion of souchong lea, sweetened with sugar, is as effectual in poisoning Hies as the solution of arsenic, generally sold for that purpose.” Singular Circumstance.—We learn from the Richmond Enquirer, that Mr. Madison is the sole surviving member, Loth of the Convention which formed the Constitution of the U.S. & of the Legislature which formed the Constitution of Virginia. Mr. Gilmer, of Georgia, wlio has been for some lime in controversy with Gov. Forsyth in relation to a law of that State, regulating the mode of acceptance of the office of Repre sentative to Congress, and whose seat in that body the, Governor had declared vacant, has finally resigned. He thinks it is the wish of the people that a new election should be held, hut still maintains his belief that the law in question is unconstitutional.

It was com- moijccd with a very limited subscription in January, 1S27, and its patronage has ever since boon contined almost exclusively to the Presbyterian and Congregational Cbdrchfs bf this and iho adjoniing States. A gradu al increase of subscribers, together wjtli numerous and unexpected assurances that our labors have beei/favorably regarded by those whose good opinion it is an honor to possess, induces the hope that a subscription paper in the hands of its friends may pfoi'n an efficient means ol‘extending itf eireul»3 (ion. If every individual, uho takes a pleasure in perusing the Observer, would use but a slight effort to gain additional sub seribers, we are persuaded that our sub scription list would men be doubled. The Editor, grateful for past encourage ment, intends hereafter devoting Ins wltolc time to tlie paper, and will u-e every possia ble effort to render it still mbie interesting and useful:—and for any assistance which may be afforded him in the prosecution of his laborious and responsible duties, he wiH ever feel unfeigitedly thankful. The annual price of the OcegnfEk to city subscribers, is £3 50, in advance, or t'4 if payment is delayed to the end of tpe year—to country subscribers£5in advance, or £3 50 at tlie end of the year.
