Lord Norbury, which had been the subjeifl of no small expectation, and has furnished topics of conversation, even beyond the sphere of the j parties immediately concerned. • ! Mr. Ridgeway open - d the pleadings, from which it appeared, that the aftion was brou ^ ht hy Frances Norton, spinster, a minor, by Edward Kenny, her next friend, against Christopher Havey, for a I breach . of'promise of marriage. Mr. Goold stated the Plaintiff's case, with his usual ability and judgment. He told the Jury, that he would not attemot to make an undue im- pression upon their feelings by any poetic dt,< rcri|->- i tirm of the case. His client was in a verv hum. ble situation in life— the grievaice complained of wascertainly seri ' tis, but not so affefling to the feelings of 1uch persons as those of more refined sensation-.; 4nd therefore he considered that a pliin statement of the circumstances would be most sa- tisfactory to the Jury and beneficial to his client, who was equally entitled to th • protoflion of the law, as persons of the most elevated rank. The Pia'niiff was tire daughter of a man, who occupied a small house in the vi'lage of Dnn- drtim, in ' he vicinity of Dublin. He wai also the owner and the drivt- r of a jaunting oar, which was hired by perior.'- in - he neighboured, and the mother contributed to the support of her family by vending of goats' whey. The defendant as- sumed the rank of a gentleman, possessing an in- cme of £ 400 per annum, wi'hout any oth » > r re- commendation. As he exhibited himself in Court, the Jnrv mia; h', from their own view, form their own ' udgmen . During the last Summer, either for the benefit of his health, or for atinsem nt, he lodged in Dur drum, and appeared to take particular notice j of the plaintiff, an interesting girl, of sixteen ; years of age. Af'er some interviews with her, 1 he proposed a marriage, and the plaintiff, with a propriety, which furnished a proof of good under- I standing, referred him to her father. The de- i fendant accordingly mentioned the matter to her father, who at fir>. t hesitated, on account of the youth of his child, but at the earnest solicitation 6f the defendant, and his undertaking to settle £ 50 a year, as a jointure, agreed to the match. Matters were thus adjusted, when the defendant invited th'e plaintiff and her family to an enter- tainment at Miltown, at which Mr. Ingleby ex- hibited some of his performances. During the evening, the defendant expjresfea his determina- tion to marrv the plaintiff j but at the close of it- he affected to take offence, and threw out some insinuations against the propriety of plaintiff's conduct, which the Learned Council would not repeat. They wera suggested by an unmanly mind, and totally unfounded in truth. The de- fendant was challenged to establish them. His conduct, however, rendered this action absolutely necessary ; for ihe poor girl, though not dis- contented at losing an object, who appeared un- worthy of her, yet had no alternative left, but to acquiesce in a vulgar imputation upon her fame. Under th ese circumstances, the present action was instituted, and he had no doubt that the Jury would do justice. John Norton examined. Is the father of the plaintiff— knows the defend- ant who lodged in Dnndrum last summer. After some time he spoke to the witness respefting a marriage with his daughter, to which witness ob- jected, thinking she was too young. But the ap- plication being several times repeated, witness con- sented, upon de endant undertaking to settle 501. a year upon her, to which the defendant consented. Remembers the defendant inviting the plainiiff and witness's family to an entertainment at Mill town, at which he spoke of the marriage— did not hear the whole of the conversation, but defendant got displeased, and never came to witness's house afterwards, and has refused to marry the plaintiff. IVilliam Mooney examined. Is m irried to a sister of the plaintiff— is ac- quainted with the defendant— recollefls being at the entertainment at Miltown, where they went to see Mr. Ingleby perform. Witness spoke to de- fendant upoa the subjeCt of his intended marri- ige with plaintiff— defendant said he would marry h- r in a month— witness expressed a wish to be pre- sent— that he was going to the country in a short time, and might not return in a month. Upon which defendant said, he would go to Booterstown Chapel next morning and be married, and requir ed to have a stamp procured, that he might exe- cute an article, to which witness objected. He afterwards took off- nce at young Mr. Ingleby speaking to the plaintiff, and said she wn cum- | mon; . that he would not marry her, nor ever in- tended to do so. Upon his cross- examination, he said he had | written a letter to defendant, apologising f ir not I keeping an appointment with him, and requesting a meeting at Atwell's Coffee- Room, where he met ; defendant and another person ; and defendant i proposed to procure witness a release from a suit ! in which he was engaged, if he would procure | plaintiff to relinquish this aflion, which witness ; declined. Nothing improper passed between plaintiff and Mr. Ingleby; it was mere matter of ; polite attention and courtesy from Mr. Ingleby. Mr. M'Nally addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant, in a style of considerable humour, at first endeavouring to ridicule the atfion, and then representing it as a conspiracy among the Dundrum villagers, to extort money from the de- fendant. John Corcoran examined. Stated that he was the person winy accompanied the defendant to Atwell's, and gave a different account of the conversation from that of the lasi witness, who was again called upon the table, and confronted with Corcoran ; e. tch witness persever- ng in his account. Wm. Wright examined. . Says he lives in Dundrnm— defendant lodged with him last summer—. plaintiff spoke to witness concerning defendant— and he was to marry her, and settle £ 50 a year upon her, and asked witness could it be easy to take him. Cross- examined. Said the defendant walked much about the vil- lage— frequently enquired after the plaintiff, and often had her brother to pass the evening with him— never saw the plaintiff going after the de. fendant, or enquiring for him a' his lodging— heard the intended marriage much spoken of— the whole village had it—- hinks the drfendant a sensible man, and raiher hard io money matters- heard the defendant's brother had been at Nor- ton's house, and offered money to settle the mat- ter, which was refused. Lord Norbury summed up the evidence for ( lie Jury— explained the nature of the aftion, and left it to them to find the amount of the damages, ob- serving, that it did not appear there was any ground of imputation upon the young girl's cha rafter. The Jury found a verdift for the plaintiff, j6250 damages, an. l six- pence costs. I . L ' k ] COUItT OX KING'S BENCH— LONDON, JULTI CHAMBERLAIN V. GAVTON. This was an action to recover compensation in da- mages for an injury sustained by the plaintiff, through the negligence of the defendant, the pioprietor and driver of the Edmonton stage. Mr Parke, for the plaintiff, called an old seaman as a witness, who was a passenger with the plaintiff at the time the accident occurred, and whose evidence w* as as follows:—, fI was a passenger upon the up-, per deck of the d .- fondant's coach, on SSrli April last, in company with the plaintiff and another person ; we got aboard together in Skinner- street, and Went full a head till we m ide the Angel Inn at Edmonton, when the coachman hove- to for the purpose of land- ing a lady, who was a passenger in the cabin ; he left the helm without a steersman, when the two horses that were a head took fright, mayhap at the sparks which flew from the pipe of a lubber who was blowing smoke and fire about at the door of the Angel. They set off full speed; and I saw the pi nntiff get from the upper. deck of the coach upon the box, and reach over to try to catch the steering tackle, when he fell- to between the two stern- horses ; I was afraid we should run foul of a piece of timber which laid on the larboard side, but we got clear of it; the plain- tiff had got hold of the steering tackle, and stopt the horses' way a littl", and I jumped safe ashore. Soon after the horses hove- to, one of them, having got a- ground upon a heap of stones, and the coachman coming up, cut some of the rigging, backed the coach a- stern, and got the horses up. I saw the plaintiff some time after, but he had had his head dressed by the doctor before 1 saw him, it was tied touud with ; i h tndkerchi- f, which was very bioody : [ would lather have been aboard a ship in a storm than where I was, for we went at the rate of ten knots an hour, or more." From other evidence it appeared that the plaintiff, in bis end - avours to stop the horses, fell under their feet, an. l was trampled upon ; and the surgeon who attended him, stated, that he received a severe wound over the right eye, which required his ( the surgeon's) attendance for three weeks. The defence setup was, that the defendant had been guilty of no negligence, that he had only quitted the box as long as was ne- cessary for him to set down a lady, who was a pas- senger, and to take out her luggage. Lord Ellenborou ; h observed, that a person under- taking to carry passengers, was bound to carry them, as frr as possible, in safety ; he therefore, ought, on no account, to leave his horses. If it was impossible for him to carry on his business without quitting the box, he must have some person with him, with whom to leave the horses in charge during his absence.:— Verdict for plaintiff, damages 201, costs 40. S. !| that never entered their imagination ; he found out j that circles were of different figures—. some of them round, others triangular, and others- square. What wonder, then, that he should have discovered that there were various species of evil spirits, with whom it was improper to have any converse ? The subject of excommunication next engaged his Lordship's attention; and lie enumerated from Burne's Ecclesi- astical Law the various offences for which it was in- flicted— such as heresy, errors in matters of religion, eating flesh on certain days, incontinence, and so forth. If they were to be accounted heathens and publicans tor these things, they were he feared, some hea- thens and publicans among their Lordships, By same Act, even when it was permitted to eat flesh on Friday by the Ecclesiastical Court, it was provided that there should be a dish of fish also on tne table, which was to be bona fide eaten, without covin or fraud. His Lordship next adverted to the statutes imposing penalties for the preservation of uniformity in the Church of England, and pointed out various differences between different editions of the books con- taining the servicp of the Church according as they weie printed at Oxford or Cambridge, and at differ- ent times. He always loved distinct definitions, and wished to know exactly what was meant by the Esta- blished Religion of England ? By an Act of Eliza- beth, the Queen and Metropolitan weie empowered to make alterations in it at their discretion. Suppose, then, that he ( Earl Stanhope) were Minister, and had the choice of the Metropolitan, and found one that would do as he was desired, the Established Religion of England might be one thing to- day, and to- mor- row what he pleased. In passing along a certain street he looked at a church- clock, and saw it was .5 o'clock ; he soon came to another, where it was a quarter past 5— to another, which was half an hour past five, and to a fourth, which was three- quarters of an hour past five. He could not help then saying in his own mind, " O, ye lofty emblems of the unifor- mity of the Church of England." It had been said, that these laws ought to be repealed one by one ; buf. his plan was to put an end to them all at once. An eminent painter asked one of his own profession, " how would you paint a fool ?" " Really," replied the other, " I have painted a gre? t many sensible men and beautiful women, but I don't know that I ever painted a fool." " Well," said he who asked the question, « I shall tell you how I would paint a fool. I would paint a clumsy fellow, endeavouring to clam- ber over a park wall 8 feet high, covered with tent. i- hooks, while a wide gate- way stood open beside him." His bill was the open gateway, by which he hoped their Lordships vould be wise enough to enter. — He understood another bill was to be introduced to regulate licences to D ssenting Ministers, but in such a way, as would debar young men from gaining experience gradually. No public speaker could be- come eminent in a moment. He would venture to say, that the Noble and Learned Lord on the wool- sack did not rise to his present eminence when he ap- peared first at the bar, though he might six months afterwards. A youth bred to the church, had once been brought by his father to exercise twice a day in the garden and to fancy the cabbage- stocks an au- dience, and at length tried his abilities before a real audience, when he blundered and failed; at which his father was dis: oncerted and vexed, and angrily in- quired, why he had not practised in his garden ? " I did," said the son."—" Yes," said the father, " but you ought to have considered the cabbage- stocks as people."—" I did so," replied the son ; " but, father, I cannot imagine the people to be cabbage- stalks." — Reverting to the punishment of excommunication, his . Lordship said, that it might often be commuted for money. The safety of the soul was not the object: it was Mammon, and nothing but Mammon. His Lordship next adverted to the plan of Mr. W. Smith, to correct the evils of these statutes, and said that it was utterly inefficient. He contended not for tolera- tion, but for religious liberty. The day was at hand, he hoped, when religious liberty would prevail; and at all events, he should rejoice th. it he had made the attempt to bring srfout so desirable an object. He PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY, JULY 3. DISSENTERS BILL. Earl STANHOPE rose to propose the second reading of the Non- Conformist Bill, and sai- l that he would offer no apology for causing the Lords to be sum- moned that day, because the subject was one of the greatest importance. The Prime Minister of the coun- try had the other day objected to the Catholic auestion, because the whole was not before him. He could not say th'S of the present measure, for the whole was there before him. The same Noble Lord had said that no attempt ought to be made by shifting expe- die'nts to get rid of a measure which was in itself pro- per; and he hoped that no shifting expedients would he used to get rid of this Bill. The same Minister h id also said, that no disability ought to be imposed for religious opinions merely ; the sentiment did him honour, and he hoped to have his support to this Bill ; it avoided the Test and Corporation Acts, and what was called Catholic Emancipation ; its object was to repeal those laws which exposed great numbers of the Members of the Church of England to persecu- tion as well as the Dissenters. Advertirtg next to the particular laws to wiiich he had alluded, his Lord- j ship enumerated various Acts passed in reigns of j; Henry Vfll. Edward VI. Elizabeth, James I. and j Charles II. imposing penalties of the- severest descrip- > tion for not going to church at least once a month ; I and on account of other matters connected with re- j hgion. By certain laws in the reign of Elizabeth, I those who refused to go to Church were to be com- i pelled to take an oath and abjure the realm ; and if they returned afterwards, they were to be guilty of fe- lony without the benefit of clergy. Some of the Acts of James subjected those who refused to go to church, to the loss of 3- 4' ths of their estates. Masters were not only to answer for themselves, but also for their | servants, and their visitors, and the servants of their visitors.— Others of these laws subjected to very se- vere penalties those who fed evil spirits and hob- goh- litis with flesh, fish, or vegetables. King James was i great theologian, and a great mathematician too.— Archimedes, Appolonius, Euclid, and Sir Isaac New- ton, were blockheads to him.— He made discoveries ' concluded by moving, that the bill be read a second time. The House was then cleared for a division on the motion, whi. ch was lost by 31 to 10. EX- OFFICIO INFORMATIONS. Lord HOLLAND presented two Bills, relating to Ex- Officio Informations. One of th- se Bills was in- tended to prevent delay in the proceedings under this mode of prosecution— in the first instance, as to the time taken to file the infotmation ; and in the second instance, as to the time which elapsed between filing the bill, and bringing the accused to his trial for the offence. With respect to the other Bill, it contained certain provisions relative to this mode of fii- n/ crimi. n il informations. The Bills were read the first time SINECURE PLACF. BILL. Earl GROSVENOR rose to mov > the second reading of the above Bill. The principle of she measure was so extremelv simple, that he did not think any Noble Lord could object to it. That principle merely was the abolition > f the offices, which had not official duties connected with them. A rumour, however, hid reached him, that it was Intended to oppose the Bill. He would, there- fore, endeavour to anticipate and answer any ob « jeCtions which reaily mi^ t be urged against it. If the length of time, during- which the present system had existed, were advanced in its suppor', it should he recollected that it had nut been with- out the exertions of the wisest an.) best men, in opposition to it— and amongst these, Sir Matthew Hale and Lord Holt had frequently contended against the abuse. If it were said, that tijough the principle were good, the Bill should be thrown out, in consequence of its enactments, such an ar. gument mast be considered as of no weigh , as the enAifiments did not, in the smallest degiee, impugn ihe principle His Lordship concluded by moving the second reading of the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion, that no Administration whatever, after having ex- amined this Biii> would support it. When he looked to the schedules attached to it, ht conceived it ought to be called a Bill to sweep away the power of the Crown to grant any oiRce wha. it ve-. F. y this measure, no less than ti'Jj place* were lo b « reformed, but no evidence was adduced to ( Fur continuation see second pagi. J prove Belfast cmni KKCMI, CLONIC I. E.

IRISH TYTHES. Mr. PARNEL mrwed thr Ord^ r of the Day for the second reading of the Bill to exempt por- tions of Inn'* attached to cottages in Ireland, em- ployed in thp growth of potatoes, frem the pay- ment of tv'Kes. Sir W SCOTT opposed the principle of the Bill, and impressed upon the House the duty it owed to take care that private property was not unnecessarily invaded. He contended that fythes were as much ' he property of the laborious clergy, as the rents of land were the prppertv of indivi. duals; and if the Hon. Member ( Mr. Parnell) was anxious to relieve the cottapjrs in Ireland, he could do it much more effectually, and quite as justly, by biinging in a Bill to provide that they should pay no rent to their landlords. As the principle of the Bill was altogether unprecedented, as well as impolitic, he moved that it be read a se- cond time on this day three rwonths. Mr. BARHAM contended, that the Bill was fonnded on this principle, that there was a degree of pauperism which ought to exempt from the payment of tythes. But as things stood in Ireland, instead of the poor deriving assistance from the revenue of the Church, the Church in some de- cree depended on the very poorest of the poor. Custom in this country would no; tolerate such demands on the cottager; and it was extreme!" ha'd that a rich cWgyman in Ireland should so fur frrget his i- rercst and his duty as to exaS his dues in s way ' hat might deprive a poor cottager and his family - f a day's food.. He never would admit that church propettv stnod precisely on the same foundations as every other kind of property. The former was t* i » en as a trust, to which the per- formance of cer'aio duties was annexed. The Right Hon. Gentleman had talked of the laborious church of Ireland; hut he had always understood, that it was the richest church in Europe, and also t'ie idlest,— he would not say from the fault of its Members, but merely because many of its Mem- bers had no duties to perform. Though the Bill might he objectionable in some of its parts, he was still for entertaining it, on the ground that the House, by shewing a disposition to remedy the grievances which existed, would do something for the tranquility of Ireland. Mr. HAWKINS BROWNE opposed the prin. ciple of the Bill. Tt would afford no alleviation to the hardships of the peasantry ; for if these tythes were taken out of the hands of the Clergy, they would then be paid to the landlord in the shape of an additional rent. If the principle of the Bill were followed up, it would equally lead ; o the ex- empt! n of the peasant from paving rent for his cottage, and ultimately to the destruction of all property. Lord DESART, though hostile to this mea- sure, vvas most anxiously desirous to obtain a fair commutation of tithes in Ireland. Mr. TRENCH coincided in thinking that some measure of the sort alluded to by the Noble Lord, would contribute more to the tranquillity of Ire- land, than any other that could be devised. The situation of the Irish peasantry was very little known by gentlemen of this country. On the acres, halfs, or quarters attached to their cottages were raised the potatoes which formed the sole provision for their families. The rent was paid in labour to the landlord, and the poor people were subjefl to a kind of bondage, from which, under all the circumstances, they could hardly liberate themselves. The peasantry of this class were uni- versally Catholics, and were consequently obliged to pay a vaiiety of dues for the support of their own clergy. The dues for marriages, christenings, and masses for the dead, were considerable. He was'far from wishing to rob the established Clergy of Ireland either of their property or their reputa- tation. Many of them were laborious and exem- plary men, but others of them who possessed enor- mous livings were mostly absentees. He himself had objeftions to the Bill, but thinking that they might be removed in a Committee, he should vote for the second reading. He was anxious that mea- sures of conciliation should proceed with a good grace from the United Parliament. The people of Ireland were impeluous, head strong, and en- thusiastic, but they might be led by kindness.' A measure of this sort, to alleviate the hardships of the peasantiy, would do much so destroy the in- Suer. cc of the factious and disaffefled, who- viewed- with desnair every thing that looked like concilia- tion. No man who h* d never been in Ireland, could form an idea of the poverty of the peasantry in many distrifts of that country. Their habita- tion was generally a mud cottage, without even a bed ; antf the family was compelled to sleep npon the damp flour. There were some exceptions to • his piflnre; but these proceeded, in most instances, from the attention of the landlords, and could not be represented as the general situation. Could re- lief be administered by Parliament, the peasantry would be found a faithful and affeftiona'e people, and all the faflions agitators would be filled with despair. - He. trusted the House would excuse him for dwelling so long on this subje&. ( Hear, hear.) It was the first time he had had the honour of ad- dressing them ; and he could not help thinking that bv some modifications this bill mighi. be made exceedingly useful. Why, for instance, migh' not compensations be made for the losses which the Clergy might sustain through it, out of a paro. chial rate, or from the assessment levied by grand juries. Lord CASTLEREAGH gave great credit to the h'' art and head of the Hon. Gent, who had just made a speech so honourable to his country and to himself. The misery of the lower orders in Ireland no one could deny, but honest men might differ as to the means by which that misery could be done away The purpose for which he rose, was to defend the charader of a Mr. Mor- gan, from whom he had that day received a letter. Contmdi< 4ing the statement made the other night by an Hon. Baronet, ( Sir I Newport). He re- gretted that oppressive conduft should have been attributed to this Gentleman of the Church, since it appeared that the statement was distinftly de- nied to be trne. As to the question itself, it had no connexion with the great question of commu- tation, and therefore should not have his support. He was friendly to the principle of commutation, if any praflical plan could be devised ; because that principle implied adequate compensation to the clergy. The present Bill, however, went to a total withdrawal of certain property from the Church, an as was said by an Hon. Geotleman, it was possible that in the end the operation of the Bill vtjould be a transfer of property from the clergy to the landed interest. He was entirely against any Bill which was founded on the idea of relieving the poor out of the property of any particular class of people, and not out of the pub- lie land. Mr. TIGHE spoke warmly in favour of the Bill. He- contended, that no attack had been made by his Right Hon. Friend- on the charafter of Mr. Morgan, He had only read a notice which was in the very hand- writing of that Gentleman himseff. If his caarafter suffered, the blow came only from his own hand. It was said, on the other side, that the greatest evil under which the poor of Ireland laboured, was the undue exaftion of rents. He denied it. He did not believe that the Irish Gentlemen were more likely to make stjfh exaflions than the English : so different was the fafl-, that in many instances in Ireland he knew the tithe levied on the poor man to be equal to the whole of his rent. That an enormous evil existed from these tithes in Ireland, was admitted dy every person except the Learned Judge ( Sir W. Scott.) That Learned Gentleman said, that there was no evil, and also that there was no pre- cedent for the Bill. These were his two objec- tions. If the Learned Gentleman had ever seen Ireland, the strong reality of distress would have so sttuck him, that he never would have made his first assertion ; and as to his second, how did the case stand ? The fa< 3 was, that there were no less than three precedents:— Ist. All mountain and bog land was exempt from tithe for seven years after being reclaimed. 2d: Hemp was ex- empt from paying tithe above 5s. an acre ; and 5d. All grass land was exempt from paying any tithe whatsoever* The operation of these exemp. tions was entirely in favour of the rich, and it was the poor alone, it appeared, for whom there could be no exemption. It was the jich grazier to whom the benefit of exemption was txtend d, while it was refused to absolute mendicity. He did not say, however, that the tithe on potatoes ought to be taken away without indemnification. He did not wish to injure the Clergyman, but to relieve eottitr. He wished to make the rich grazier, who was a Protestant, pay the Protestant pastor; not the poor peasant who was a Catholic, and who had nothing to live upon bflt sixpence a day, ani about half an acre of land. It was quite the cus- tom for Gentlemen to say that they wished to bind! the lower orders of Ireland to the establishments in Church and State But how would thejr do so ? Was it by cherishing the principle of disunSnn between the poor Catholic and the Protestant cler-' gyaian ? What community of feeling at present had they ? What acquaintance with any holy of- fice of the clergyman had the poor man, except a citation to the Bishop's Court J What instruction did he ever receive from him, except the mandate of the tithe Proflor ? Potatoes were almost the sole support of the cottier. How was the tithe on them collected i Why, in this way: The proCtor goes to the cottier, who lives on the potatoes which he is obliged to dig from day to day to keep him- self from starving, and says,. 4' give me a guinea for the tithe of your crop this year, or I shall serve you with » citation." If the money is not in- stantly paid, a mark is stuck in the ground, be- yond which the poor man dare not dig until the business of the citation is over. What alternative has he, then, between exaCHon and starvation ? He must either borrow or steal j and, if he cannot borrow, h^ is driven either to ruin or to crime. Such W3s the situation of the Irish Catholic pea- sant, while it was notorious, that the rich holder tif grazing lands paid no tithe at all. He wished the Bill to go into the Committee, and there he thought the Bill might be so shaped as to give re. lief to the poor, and indemnity to the Church. Mr. BERNARD was in favour of any measure that would better the condition of the peasantry of Ireland. Mr. WHITBREAD impressed upon the House the impolicy o£ imposing this burden upon the Catholics, since it only served to sow the seeds of dissention between thero and the Establishment. He dwelt with much force upon the general dis- advantage resulting to agriculture from the tything | system in England and Ireland, and recommended that the sdbjeft - should be seriously examined. ' He thought the condition of the Irish peasantry m; serahle in the extrfm*, and'quoted th: j ' opinion of a friend, with whom he travelled in Poland, who was of opinion that the Polish vassals were in a preferable state. The ATTDRMEY- GENERAL denied the existence of the precedents alluded to by Mr. Tjghe, and generally opposed , the Bill, as the effePi, 1 e conceived, would be to lead to a general attack upon the revenues of the Church in Eng- land as well as in Ireland. Lord JOCELYN said, that oh a former night a Right Hon. Basonet ( Sir J. Newport) had read a document to the House, s'ated to be in the hand- writing of the Rev. Mr. Morgan, an Irish clergyman, in which it was suted, that this Gen- tleman had refused to allow the tenants of cottages to dig their potatoes behre ' he season, lest he should lose a portion of^ is tythe, although they were absilute'y necessary for the maintenance of the family of the peasant. His Lopdship now produced and read an affidavit from Mr. Morgan's Proftor, denying the fad. The Rev. Gentleman was on his way to London, to justify his conduft. Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that the hand- writing of Mr. Morgan to the statement read by Sir John Newport was not denied. After a few words from Lord CASTLEREAGH, Mr. PARNELI, replied at considerable length, and Mr. HUME expressed himself in favour of the Bill. The question was then put, and the Amend- ment was canied without a division, that the Bill be read a second time on this day three months. It was accordingly thrown out. LONDON* Wednesday* July 8. HIS MAJESTY. [ FROM THE COURIER.] The Prince Regent returned from Windsor about five o'clock yesterday. While his Royal Highness was at Windsor, ' he Physicians in at-, tendance represented to him and her Majesty, that no great inroad appeared to them to have . been made in his Majesty's health by this paroxysm, which was however of the most violent Jcind- His Royal Highness the. Regent., upon return- j ing to town last night, sent word to Lady Char- lotte Finch, that his Majesty was a great deal better. • His Royal Highness did not go to Windsor this morning— the account's being 4o much more fa- vourable than there was at first reason to expeCt. The daily messenger arrived about one o'clock to- day, and said, that his Majesty had last nigh; some hours sleep, and felt much refreshed. He was yesterday well enough to order his own dinner, which was toast beef, of which his Majesty ate he. irtily. No Bulletin will, it is supposed, be issued. On Monday aftirntfefl.' soon after four o'clock, his Royal Highness , the Princs. Regent received, an account from Windsor, but not an express, as was erroneously reported ves'eTday ,- however, the communication was of that ntturre respecting" his' Royal Father having experienced an increased at- tack of his disorder, which was of so alarming a nature as to induce hi- Roval Highness to o, der- his travelling carriage and four, and set off with all possible speed, accompanied by the Duke of Cumberland, for Windsor. The : d: irtn spread during the evening, and the other" Royal Dukes, and those connected with them, left town for Win. sor. The Prince Regent and Duke of Cumber- land returned to town between ten and eleven, when the Prince Regent was pleased to signify his commands that his Levee, intended to be holden yesterday, should be postponed, in corise. quence of the increased indisposition of the King'. The communication of the fresh and dangerous attack of his Majesty was so unexpected, that when the Prince Regent left town, it was suppos- ed by some that he was gone to Bushy, to visit the Duke of Clarence, who is Undisposed there; nor was it known till yesterday morning, by seve. ral in Carleton House, that the_ King had expe- rienced a dangerous attack. Ye'sterday morning, about half- past nine o'clock, the Prince Regent, with the Duke of Cumberland and Sir T. Tyr- Whitt, left London for Windsor. The King was considered so bad, on Monday night, that the Duke of York determined to remain in Windsor all night, which he is not in the practice of doing, and sent to London for a change of clothes.. How. ever, with all the alarm that was excited, we have great reason to believexhat the violent and. alarm- ing attack was owing to the sudden change' Of she weather on Monday afternoon, and it being near the change of the moon. The Duke of York, considering his Royal Father better yesterday morning, ' left Windsor a little before eleven - o'clock, and arrived at his office in the Horse- Guards, it being his Royal Highness's intention to hold a Military Levee as usual; but Col. Tor- rens, his Secretary, not expecting the Duke's re- turn from Windsor, had postponed the Levee, in consequence of the alarming reports of the state of the King yesterday rtorning. The Prince Regent, the Duke of Cumberland, and Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, arrived in town yester- day from Windsor about four o'clock. The Prince and Sir Thomas proceeded to" Carleton house, and the Duke, of Cumberland went on to the House of Peers. His Royal Highness being . observed by the Duke of Yoik, who was in his Office, stop- ped his Royal Brother; and we are extremely happy to say, that the report made by the Duke of Cumberland was, that the King was much bet- ter, and that he had been very much composed during the last few hours. We copy the following from a Morning Pa- per:--. " During the last fortnight of the month of 1 j June, his Majesty suffered a high degree of agita- tion ; but he was rather better on Saturday morn- ing last, when the Lords of the Queen's Privy Council held their Quarterly Meeting, to make their report.. In the afternoon of that day, how*, ever, the paroxysm increased to a degtee of vio- lence such as his Majesty has not expt snced since December twelvemonth. The paioxysm lasted, without abatement, between 50 and 60 hours; • and as we stated yesterday, on Monday rimrnii. g he became for a lev/ minutes speechless. These . i paroxysms are always Viewed by the regular Phy- sicians with seri- fls ' pnrehensior-,' as it is' with tCKr much reason believed, that they have their source in a suffusion" on the brain, that most probably will at- some time be- fatal. . When thij alarming svmptom came on, expresses were sent for Sir Henry H ilf > rd and. Dr. Hjbe. rden, who immedi- ately went to Windsor. V The interruption to* speech, however, tSsfe 1 only a few minfltes, and the habitual course of rapid- and inarticulate speak- ing returned tilj nint in the evening, when his • Majesty fell asleep, and bad between four and five, hours of quiet rest. He waked very composed, and yesterday morning he took several dishes of tea, and slept ag » : n for near an hour. Th?* last account from Windsor was, that he continued tranquil throughout the day, and the paroxysm was quite subsided. . .... " We cannot avoid remarking the extraordina- ry circumstance, that in neither House of Parlia- ment have the last Quarterly Reports of the Queen's Council to the Privy Council been called for, or laid on the table for the information of Members and o the public. The Council met on Saturday last, and1 examined the Physicians, when we are told they all concurred in saying, that though there was very little ch& nge in his Majesty's bodily health, there appeared a great accession of mental disease, so as to decrease their hopes of his recovery. And we have heard that a question was put to the Physicians, whether they thought that the plan of treatment of his Majesty's disorder, under the direClions of the brothers Willis, agreeably to a former minute of " the Board, might not be changed with advantage to the patient— a question which they all answer- ed in the affirmative. And we understand, that the regular Physicians are now intrusted to exer- cise their discretion in the future treatment of the Royal malady. But we trust that some Member in both Houses, will see the propriety of calling for the two last reports of the Council, for the in- formation of his Majesty's ' affectionate' people, wi[ h whom it is not > « - oui of- sight'out ' of mind." This afternoon, the Report pf the Secret SeleCt Committees will be presented to both Houses of Parliament. We pretend not to be acquainted with the particdlar information submitted to the Committees: but we understand that the system of taking illegal paths.{ tnuisting. in as it is called), has been most extensively carried on in Notting- hamshire, in. Lancashire, and in Yoikshire. UporS being sworn in, the parties are reported to have been, after some time, during which they were to give proofs. of their attachment so the cause, made acquainted » ith the ulterior designs of the asso- ciation.

We observe that the disturbances are apparently subsiding j, we use the word apparently for a rea- son we shall give presently. An attempt has been made to impute this more tranquil a'peft to the revocation of the Orders in Council. The Ordsrs in Council! They neither produced these disturb- ances nor tranquilized them— the real fa{ t we be- lieve to be, that the inquiries going on before the Committees, in Parliament have induced the per- sons engaged in these associations to lay by till they see the result. Do not therefore let us hastily suppose that all is really quiet, and the practices we have stated, really at an end. When the Com- mission was sent down to Nottingham to try the Frame- breakers, the Judge, at the expiration of the trials, did not declare the Commission at an .- end, but adjourned it for a certain period. This alarmed thy Fi ame- bteakers, and they suspended their operations. Information has been laid be fore Parliament by his Majesty's Ministers, and the Luddites may have determined* to suspend, for a time, their more aCtive operations. We do not think that'in the first instance, it wil)- be pro- posed to'suspend the Habeas Corpus Aft, but merely to ' give greater powers to the Magistrates, to enable them at any hour they choose to make searches, and to sect?, re fire- arms. If this be effec- tual, as we hope it may, nothing more will be proposed. If it should not be— if the practices continue, then of course severer measures will be resorted to. And here w; e must repeat the hope which we urged some time ago, h, t neither Le gislators nor atiy persons will make themselves the easy means of bringing forward charges against Magistrates in the different counties.. The effeCl of them is to indispose Gen'letnen of fortune from aCting as such, and to weaken that respeft arid at- tachment which the lower orders have hithitto felt for the character of the Magistrate.

Accounts from Botfrdeaux to a late date, men- tion that the populace of that dity, driven to de- spair for want of bread, had committed a variety of acts of outrage.. In other towns also, the in- habitants had broken out in acts- of violence, ex- cited by the same cause.- By the last accounts from the Continent, it • would appear as if the French army had advanced from the Pregel, to within about 30 miles of the front ers of Piussian Poland, where, according to the last accounts, Bonaparte was employed in re- viewing the advanced guard. The Russian head- quarters are established at Wilna, about 120 miles from the enemy's van- guard, where it is reported the F. mperor Alexander will make a stand. Paris Papers have arrived to the 2d ; they are < barren of important intelligence. Bonaparte left Insterburgh on the 18th, and proceedda to Gum- binnen on the Pis? a, on the eastward of Inster- hurgb.

The Lapwing packet arrived o^ the evening <> f the 6th inst. at Falmouth, direct from New- York, after a passage of 22 days, with a Mail and dispatches. The letters were immediately, on her coming to anchor, sent forward by express to 1London. By the Lapwing, intelligence has been brought, that the question for a war with England had been decided in the affirmative, by a majorf. ty of 30 in the House of Representatives ; and that warlike preparations were making with such promptitude and zeal, that the British Consul judged It expedient to direct the Packet to leave the Port of. New- York, . and repair to Sandy Hook, two days previous to her final departure' lest she should be seized and detained. Ittvas at this place that she took the dispatches and the mail on board. The Mackerel schooner arrived on the 4th of June with dispatches from England. There were lying in the river, when the Lap- wing sailed, the American frigates President and Essex, the Hornet corvette, and 30 gun- boats.-— His Majesty's ship Tartarus, 20 guns, wascruis. ing off Sandy Hook. Seven men of the crew of the Lapwing packet > r* Meft her at New- York, and entered into the Ameri- can service. The Fox packet has arrived at Falmouth in 24> days from St. Thomas's, with mails from the Windward Islands. She brings a melancholy account of the damage and calamity experienced at St. Vincent's in consequence of the volcanic eruption of Mount Souffrier in that island. Two plantations have been quite ruined, and many have received serious injury. Seven persons lost their lives, and the whole Island was covered with dust and sand several inches thick- On the 14th ult. in lat. 26. 25. long. 63. 6. the Fox spoke the ships Kingston, Lord Wellington, and Christopher, all from Santa Cruz, b und to 1 Greenock, all well.

After some conversation the motion • was agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY, JULY S. Afier st rrie immaterial business, to an enquiry by Mr. Whitbread, whether any thing would be done regarding the Toleration Ads, the Chancel, lor of the Exchequer replied, that his Noble Friend ( Castlereagh) would make some communication on the subjeft in a few days. SECRET COMMITTEE. Mr. LASCELLES brought up the report of the Seciet Committee on the disturbances in the inte- rior, which was read by the clerk, and stated, that in February last most alarming disturbances ap- j peared to have existed in a most extensive distridl in the interior. Houses had bven broken open, and several atrocious murders had been commit- ted ; rioters had assembled in great numbers, and demanded money. The objefl, in the commence, ment, was the destruflion of machinery ; since j which, large parties had broken open houses, and •( required arms and effefls. . In the neighbourhood I of Huddersfield, all weapons had been taken, and able. " The precise purpose could not be clearly ascertained ; but whatever might be the objeft, or whoever might be the secret bearer, the privacy observed, am? the a^ s of assassination, could not fail to impress upon the Committee a strong sense of the danger of our si uation. Mr. VANS ITT A RT moved that the Report be taken into consideration on Friday next. Mr. PONSONBY enquired what wqre the measures to be proposed. Mr. VANSITTART said, the object was to prevent the nocturnal meetings and secret inter, course, but he did not know whether one or more bills would be required, nor what was the precise nature of the measures. Mr. WHITBREAD was surprised at this ig. norance, and should consent to no additional measures, as the law was equal to the exigency. After a few words from Mr. Bathurst, the re- port was laid on the table, ordered to be printed. For the- Week ending II th July. ARRIVED.

Admiral Thornbrough On Tuesday signified to the Merchants of Cork that the Dauntless, Cap. tain Barber, will take convoy to Lisbon, first fair wind, and th « the Resolute gun. brig, Lieutenant Green, proceeds' with the vessels bound up the British Channel. On Tuesday n: ght an attempt was made hy some persons to strip the lead from patt of the premises attached to the St. Patrick's Brewery, in Drinan street, Cork. Andrew Drinan, Esq. had reason to expeft the attempt would be made, and accordingly lay in ambush,, with ohe or two others, to dete^ l and app'- ehend the robbers, who arrived ( four in number.) at midnight, and com- menced their depredations, but were instantly at- tacked by Mr. Drinan and his party. Two of the robbers instantly flsd, but two oihers were sur- rounded, one of whom, named Jeremiah Hurley, a sailor, submitted at ortce,. but the other, VVm Doyle, who had been f ormerly in Mr. Qritian's employmeet, and was a very able man, made a most desperate resistance. Mr. Drinan was ar. med with a blunderbuss, but not wishing to kill the wrtch, he fired low, and wounded him in the feet^ but even this did not compel him to surren- der, qntil be had been stabbed in different part* of the body by the wa chman, when he was obliged to submit s and he and his associate were next day c miii'ted to the city jail. A physician of Halle, in Saxony, of" the nam? of Luc**, has had a pamphlet printed, in which he announces, that he has discovered a sure reme- dy for the rheumatism and the palsy : this new remedy consists of the oil of brown pit- coal, which the discoverer prepares himself. A surgeon of Tobolsk!, has translated into the Tarter tongue, to be distributed throughout Tar- tar'y, a work upon vaccination, written originally in the Russian language. A physician of Naples, t) f the name of Faracci, has published a work, in which he endeavours to prove, that the human body may be rendered fire- proof, by being rubbed with the following com- position j— An ounce and a half of alum, dissolved in four ounces of warm water ; to which must be added, an ounce of isinglass, and hilf an ounce of gum arabic. It has been decided by the Crown Lawyers, that volunteers from the Militia to the regular Army, who have been, in the first instance, attested for limited service, or seven years, cannot legally be permitted to be again attested for unlimited ser. vice, or for life, until the first period is expired. A French Paper says—" A person has been punished in a town in Westphalia, by 25 lash » s, and the pillory, for a crime of rather a singular nature. He had taken up from the grave, the body of a Jew, in order to steal his clothes, which he had the impudence to put on a few days after, and to appear with them in public, boasting that he had done no more than indemnify himself for the impositions which the deceased had practised on him." Thursday week, the 21st regiment, or Royal Scotch Fusileers, under commaud of Major Cog- lan, were reviewed at Aberdeen, by his Excellen- cy Major Gen. Leslie, who was pleased to express himself in terms of high approbation of the ap. pearance of the regiment, and the precision with which they performed their various evolutions and firings. By an aft of Parliament recently passed, the Militia Regiments are permitted to enlist Boys of not less than five feet high, at a bounty of Four Guineas each to the Recruits, and a sum of a Guinea on each to the Colonel, to answer for the Contingencies on joining, & c.

Do yon know what it is makes me whistle and sing, When brushing bright dews away ? What makes me as blithe as a bird in the spring, When at work in the fielJs all day ? If you don't, why 1* 11 tell you the cause of my joys; When the grey hour of Evening's come, " Tis the thoughts of my rosy- fac'd girls and boyl, Who welcome their father home. On ent'ring I'm quickly surrounded by all; The youngest climbs up to my knee ; Tom sings a new song, Be3s shews me her doll, And Hannah brings food for me : My wife turns her wheel, we chearfully talk, Nor fret about evils to come; I taste joys unknown to your gouty great folk—! Rosy Health bids me welcome home. My children I teach to pray and to read ; To be good, to honour priest and the squire j If my farm be but small, we no luxuries need, Ti serves us, no more we desire : I kill my own nmtton, my wife brews good ale, Prom my fields I have no wish to roam, Except to the market, and then I ne'er fail To meet a blithe welcome home. Hannah reads in her bible ere we go to rest ; The youngest lisps o'er her pray'rs; I rise when the lark quits her cold dewy ntlt, >> nd leave them to sleep away cares . Tho* little we boast, others wants we supply; If we see a poor b^ ggarman roam, We do as all should d as they'd be done by, We give him a welcome home. All taxes and tythes I mos' chearfully pay ; For the lawyer I care not a pin ; Passers'- bv from the town tell the news of the day, And If thirsty, find plenty within : Al! neighbour* I serve, to do good is my text, And when life's closing day shall come, I'll this world quit with pleasure, and hope in the next To meet a good welcome home. Cartmuuj. ROBT. ANDERSON. REPORT OF DISEASES, }„ thi PraSiee of a P'y/ lclan, In Wettmmiter : from tic 20th of May to t h 201 b of June, 1- 812. [ Frew tie London Monthly MfiglH'!-••] A case of ascites recorded in this report occur- red in a hoy only seven years old. The abdomen was distended :> s much as it appeared capable of admitting ; and the fkm seemed thin, and almost pellucid. He was extremely emaciated, and troubled with a constant diarrhota. From his pu- ny appeararce snd debilitated condition the op. eration of tipping did not promise an effectual re- lief, although I have seen it succeed very well in children. The immediate object, however, be- ing to diminish the quantity of fluid conta: ned in j the abdomen'; in spire of the diarrhcea, I direct- ed him to have a large dose of scammony and calomel everv third morning ; and also to take dipitalis. calomel, and opium, three times a- drty. He has continued this plan for neatly three weeks, without any further reduction of strength, and i with a very considerable diminution of bulk in j the abdomen, the fluctuation of which, indeed, ' at present can Jvardly be ascertained. The liver, ! upr « n the nicest examination, does. not appear to be enlarged, or schivrous, but it is probable that tbe mesenteric glands are diseased ; and, though we may sucrecd in removing the dropsical affec tion, he will most probably sink into a state of marasmus. The cases of measles, hooping- cough, denti- tion, fever, convulsion, and hydrocephalus, were all irfnnts, or at least children not passed tbe second year. The three first affections are suffi- ciently obvious, and require no interpreter. But the latter complaints are sometimes very obscure, and demand more than common attention to dis- criminate their peculiar character, and ascertain the remote as well as the exciting causes. We often see ar. infant, for instance, with a hot skin, quick pulse, and flushed cheek ; having restless nights, refusing sustenance, and screaming oeca. sionally very passionately, as if in extreme^ pain ; and, upon minute examination, we shall find all these symptoms consequent upon a depraved state cf the alimentary canal, which may be effectually removed by a few doses of suitable purgatives. Young mothers are apt to be alarm- ed at these symptoms ; but more experienced nurses, in general, will refer them to the true cause, the child being stuffed with improper food. A most skilful veterinary surgeon has recently written upon the foot of the horse, and refers most of the maladies of that animal to the barbarous and unnatural mode in which that animal is usually shod ; and I have no hesitation in referring most of tl •• ailments, except the usual epidemics, which beset infants and young child- ren, to the abuse of the stomach. The infant has scarcely foisaken the breast of its parent, and that blnnd nutritious fluid which Nature so ad- mirably prepares for the delicate organ into which it immediately passes, that servants, guests — aye, even the parents themselves, unwittingly, it is' to be presumed, conspire against the well being of the poor child, by giving it all . the good things, confectionary, tarts, sugar- plumbs, & c.& c. that ihey can actually cram down. As if, from the moment of weaning, an entire change had taken place in the anatomical structure of the digestive organs. If the diet of infants, from both to the time they commence their a- b- c, wer<; pr< peily regulated, more childien would be saved from the sexton than it is likely there will j e rogues from the hangman, by the improved cystetn of popular education, though, from its } eneficial tendency, doubtless the number will be Vc great. VARIETIES, LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL. The attention of the literary world, during the current month, has been eng ged bv the sale of the extensive and valuable library of the late Duke of Roxburghe. It was confided to Mr- Evans, of Pall- Mall ; and so numerous and interesting were the lots, that it was extended to for'y- two days. All the colleftors of first and rare editions, having, on this occasion, been drawn into compe- tition ; this species of literature has attained a price never before remembered, insomuch, that we conceive we cannot more highly gratify our readers, than by recording some of the most re- markable. On the 30th day, the sales had pro- duced nearly £ 20,000; and it is estimated, that the whole library will fetch little short of £ 30,000. In an age of avaricious speculation, it may serve the cause of literature generally, to add the re- mark, that it is no' believed this library cost the Duke more than £ 5000.

It affords 11s the sineerest satisfaflion to observe, by the provincial papers, that the spirit of party ; continues to run as high as ever, between the j Bellites, or Be/ lonians, and the Lancastrians, as they j whimsically call themselves. Anv abatement of their mutual animosity will be a just ground of ; regret to every friend of social improvement and i the advancement of civilization. At present all , parties are agreed in the necessity of universally educating the children of the poor, and the zeal j of Proselytism has happily been the means of giv- ing effeft to a system which for many years we advocated in vain. We published in 1808 a cor- ) respondence proving the effefHof illiteracy on the convifts in Newgate, and our example has been followed by Dr. Ford, the worthy ordinary of that j prison, in the following interesting letter:— " With regard to your question, what are the causes of the commitment of so many crimes ? I answer ( with all due deference to wiser heads), that an aversion from labour impels some to plunder, with the hope of artfully obtaining from others, that maintenance for which tbev are un- willing to ejert their own industry. 2. Others are inclined to work but cannot obtain employ- ment ;— the impei ious calls of nature, therefore, necessarily, as it were, stimulate those who are groaning under those calls to prey tipon the pub- lic. 3. A depraved disposition coerces others to plunder, not caring what fate may befal them. 4. Wicked parents, and vicious companions, drive the young and the unthinking into the perpetra- tion of crimes of various descriptions. 5. But the chief cause of the committing of crimes, is to be ascribed, in my humble opinion, to the want of early instruction in reading ; consequently, a total ig- norance of religion, as well as of every moral prin ciple. Indeed, the lower orders are, by hitbit, 50 far familiarized with the Divine Being, as to swear by him ; but they neither believe in him, nor pray to bim ; and why ? because they have not been made acquainted with bim in their youth, nor have ihey enjoyed the greatest of al! blessings, as well as comforts, of being instrufled in his holy word. You cannot expert these people to practise what ihey do not know. Let the poor be but educated, and I will venture 10 assert, tlul in the coutseof thiity vears, at most, there will not be one- fourth of the crime- which are now comm'tted. About seven ry eiobf vears back point" in'o the desk, a'the chapel of Newp- a'e, on ' hie first dav after the preceding Session?, I saw twelve men in the condemned felons' pew, who, from the respeflable appearance of their dress,' and the ease of their deportment, seemed to have been proper charafiers to be introduced to the verv b" st cn- i. I pany. When I announced the day of the month, and mentioned the psalm, I was very much asto- nished to observe that not one of these convifts took up a prayer- hook, ( though there were sevor- al lying before them,) neither did anv of th- par- ty srem to know a single particle of the church service, or when they were to sit, or stand, or kne 1. The ensuing- day, I attended the >• in the condemn- ed room, when, after some conversation suitable to their forlorn situation, the following dialogue took place : Ordi narv— 11 I take it for granted you are all dissenters ?" Prisoner—" Oh dear, Sir, no ; I believe we are all churchmen." Ordinary—" How did it hippen then, that none of you opened a prayer- book yesterday, dur- ing divine service ?" Upon this, there was rather an appearance of confusion, and a dead, silence. I put the question a second time, and one of them hesitatingly stammered out, " Sir, I cannot read," " nor I, nor I, nor I," was rapidly uttered by them all. Ordinary—" How is it, then, that calling vonr. sdves churchmen, you seemed so ignorant of the customs of the church, as not to answer one of the common responses ?" Prisoner " Sir, I have not been in the habit of going to church ; for, as I was never taught to read, I did not choose to go there to expose my tgnorance." So said several others : and some said, " their parents never went." Ordinary—" As you have not been in the ha- bit of going to church, and none of you., can read, how came you to say that you were Churchmen ? What is the meaning of the word Churchmen ?" Prisoner.'—" I reallv do not know, Sir ; hut this lam sure of, that I am no Catholic, nor one of my family." ; Ordinary.—" Were you ever taught the Cate- chism ?" • I Prisoner—" I never heard of it in my life.'' At this very time, I have thirteen capital male convidls under my care, twelve of whom are churchmen, like those whom I last mentioned, and not more than four of whom can read. If ' my memory se- ved, I could quote hundreds of instances of similar ignorance among criminals. I am positive the rising gen1 ration cannot be : made more guilty than the present, by learning to read; therefore, I am for the experiment being made; but, whether by Dr. Bell's or Mr. Lancas- ter's method, seems to me of small consequence. Do but teach them to read, and instrufi them in the principles of religion, and leave the event to ; the Almighty." Thomas Ani: « w Knight, T. rq. has published a New and Expeditious Mode of Bufldirfg, « The luxuriant shoots o f peach and nectarine trees," says he, " are generally barren ; but the lateral shoots emitted by them in the same season, are often pr^- ! du& ive of frui » ., The bearing wood is afforded , by the natural buds of the luxuriant shoots; but I : thought it probable that such might as readily be I afforded by the inserted buds of another variety j under appropriate management.

I- is expetfed to form four volumes in quarto ; and it will add to the materials of li'erary H; story when we state, that the bookse'lers have engaged to give him six thou- sand'pounds for he copy- right. Lord Dtinmo"-, win resides at Dunmore Park, on the Firth of Forth, has thirteen acres laid out in pardon. During his absence on the public service, his son, Lord Fincanle, observed an old pear- tree, which had long discontinued bearing, with fruit " n one branch only. He pointed it out to the yarderier. who, on examination, found that this branch, which was about the thickness of a man's arm, had been cut round, and the iru: ision had been so deep as to go to the heart of the bough. As there appe > red to be no other cause for the fecundity of this branch, another bough was cut in a similar manner, and the operation pro- duced a similar revivification. Afterwards a deep inc: sion was made in the trunk of an old pear tree, wh'ch had been five or six years without bearing, and the whole tree was soon in full b! oss « m. The Missionaries, in conjunction with some gen- tlemen of Port Jackson, have established a cotton, plantation at Otahei'r ; the growth is luxu- iant, and no doubt is entertained that it will become an articla of export. The address from the Five Nations to Dr. Jen- ner. on receiving his Treatise on Vaccination, runs as follows:— " BROTHER Our father has delivered to us the Book yon sent t<> instruct us how to use th* dis- covery which the Great Spirit made to you, where- by the small- pox, that fatal enemy of our tribes, may be driven from the earth. We have deposited your book in the hands of a man of skill, whom our great father employs to attend us when sick or wounded. We shall not fail to teacfe our chil- dren to speak the name of Jenner, and to thank the Oreat Spirit for bestowing upon him so much wisdom and so much benevolence. We send with this, a belt and a string of Wampum, in token of our acceptance of your precious gift, and we be seech the Oreat Spirit to take CJre of you in this world, and in the lane! of Spirits." A literary and philosophical society has been instituted in Liverpool. Its objefl is to collefl in- formation in all branches of literature and science, which is to be laid before the society, in the form of essays or paners. The number of members amount to nearly sixtv, and their meetings are to be held monthly, from Otfober to May. The officers are, the Rev. Theophilus Houlbrooke, pre- sident ; Rev. Joseph Smith, Dr. Bostock, and John Theodore Koster, Esq. annual vice- presidents, and Dr. Thomas Stewart Troil, secretary. Every ship in his Majesty's navy, from a first to a fifth rate inclusive, is in fu'ure to be allowed a chaplain on her establishment; and every chip- lain, after eisjht ye>. rs of aftnal sea- service ( or if in a guard- ship ten years ) is to be entitled to a pens; on in the nature of half- pay, at five shillings per day.

MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. the operation, inserted buds of other varieties into j dent of the Royal Society, was lately read, de- them, employing two distinfl ligatures to hold tbe buds in their places. One ligature was first placed above the bud inserted, and upon the transverse section through the bark ; the other, which had no further office than that of securing the bud, was applied in the usual way. As soon as the buds ( which never f^ il under the preceding circum- stances) had attached themselves, the ligatures last applied were taken off, but the others were suffered to remain. The passage of the sap up- wards was in consequence much ohstrufted. and the inserted buds began to veget te strongly in July; and, when these had afforded shoots about four inches long, the remaining ligatures were taken off, to permit the excess of sap to pass on, and the young shoots wsre nailed to the wall.— Being ther . properly exposed to light, their wood ripened well, ai> d afforded blossoms in the succeed- ing spring." Arthur Yonng, Esq. Secretary of the Board of Agriculture, lately published a letter recommend- ing an extended cultivation of potatoes. Half an acre in et? fy hundred, added to the present space under his crop, wouid ( He says) produce human food sufficient to answer the purpose of all the fo- reign corn imported into this country, at an ex- pence, for the last twelve years, of above thirty millions sterling; one acre of potatoes being esti- mated as < qual to two of wheat. This root being also applicable to the use of horses, cattle, and hogs, no farmer need be apprehensive of the cul- ture proving disadvantageous at any time, should the price of wheat happen to be cheap, and pota- toes consequently low in price. In regard to those landlords who consider the culture of potatoes as detrimental to the land, he recommends that they should permit their tenants to plant a certain por. tion of ground with potatoes, on condition that the latter lay on each acre so planted, a certain quantity of manure or lime. Letters to the Right Hon. Sir William Drum- mond, in defence of particular passages of the Old Testament, against his late work, intituled, " CEJi- pus Jndaicus," are about to be published, by Mr. George D'Oyly, fellow of Corpus Christi College. The fecundity of the rabbit is truly astonishing. By recent obseivarion it appears, that it breeds seven times in a year, and generally produces eight young at a time; from which it is calculated, that ; j He strikes and every thing falls before one pair may increase in the course of four years, . thousand on his right hand, and ten thoi to the amazing number of 1,274', 840. The Members of the Royal Medical Society of Edinburgh, are invited t'j write an experimental es- say on the following subjefl:—'" To determine, by experiment, what substances are exhaled by the skin ; and the clunges, if any, which ihey produce on the surrounding air." The dissertations are to be written in English, Latin, or French, and are to be delivered to the Secietary on or belore the 1st oi Deceiiibei, 1813. scribing his experiments on the tendrils of plants, and inves'igating the cause of their apparently rational inclination to adjoining objects for sup- port Mr. Knight tried a number of creeping plants in a green. bouse, and also the tendrils of vines; he exposed th? m in various positions,. with respeft to the sun or light, and found that they all invariably receded from the stronger light, and attached themselves to those objefts in the shade, or, if no other objetf presented itself, to the d ark side of their parent stems. Hence he was indu- ced to conclude, that the affion of light on the tendrils contracted the vessels on the sides exposed to it, and occasioned not only the spiral convolu- tions, but also that tendency to fix on obscured or shaded objefls. On this principle he accounted for all the curious instinfl- like motions of young tendrils, in a manner purely mechanical, and posi- tively denied them any sensative or eleflive mo- tion whatever. RUSSIA.— Since the year 1810, 30 persons in Russia have attained the age of 115 years; 24 that of 120 ; 11 that of 135 ; and 2 that of 140. GERMANY.— The Catalogue of Books which is usually published before the Leiosick fair, an- nounces this year 1609 new works, in German and Latin : 100 new novels; and 50 new theatri- cal pieces: the number of geographical maps is 82; and new musical compositions about 350.. FRANCE.— M. Itard, physician to the School for the D? af and Dumb in Paris, lately read to the Institute an essay on the construfHon of the organ of hearing and the causes and cure of deaf- ness ; in which he gave an account of a cure per- formed by him on a deaf and dumb youth, by perforating the tympanum of the ear and injeft- ing warm water. M. Noyez, Veterinarian at Mirepoix, has pub- lished a memoir tipon the good effedts which re- sult from the shearing of domestic animals, such as the ox and the horse, in the cure and preven- tion of certain diseases. A discourse was lately pronounced by the Arch- bishop of Malines, in the metropolitan church of Paris, in which the French emperor is dsscribed as follows :— When he goes to battle, he is the giant arising to run his race. His strength is that of the lion ; his rapidity that cf the eagle. him ; a ght hand, and ten thousand on his left. What land has not been the theatre of his great achievements ? Italy saw him arrive by unknown roads, till then forbidden to the au- dacity of man, to recover in a day the losses of a year. The East and Egypt saw bim, with dis- may, condufling those standards which, in the time of our ancestors, they had trampled under foo;— Vifiory constantly accompanied him, and only ttopped at the iiniiii which teniiirate the woilu.""' In pursuance of the arrangement m-. de berwpen the East India Company and the county of Cor: . • wall, in 1789, there has been sold at the several factories ia Ir. dia and at China, in twenty two years, the total quantity of 16.659 tons of British tin, for £ 1,399,200. Tie average being 756 tons ; and the average sale price ae84; per ton.—. Yet the . quantity of tin annually imported into Canton only amounts to about 1800 tons; the Cornish proprietors propose therefore to insist that the company shall take of them 1200 tons per annum, at twenty per cent, under the avsrage of the London price. The Petition of the City of London, relative to the India trade and'Company's Charter, states, " that, although the quantity of tonnage appro- priated by the East India Company to the private traders of the United Kingdom ( independent of the usual allowance to their own officers) has, during the last six years, amounted to 63,000 tons, it is ascertained that, of that qtuntity, 16.230 tons only have been employed, of which 7,000 tons have consisted of wine and beer, leav. ing a surplus of little moie than 9,000 tons, or 1,500 tons annually, for all ki.. ds of stores and British manufactures. " That the expectation entertained by several branches of the manufacturing interest throughout the country of the great benefits likely to result to them from an increased exportation to India, appears erroneous and delusive, inasmuch as it is incontrovertibly established by the experience of the last six years, that the market of India is al- together incapable of extending the consumption of British manufactures beyond the present de. mand."

The following is a Copy of th; Pctrion which was produced ar the Lite Aggregate Meeting, in Dublin, and which had been referred t' the further consideration oF'tfflT'Slholic Board, for t- ch H - teration as the peculiar circumstances of I eland may render necessary, without lessening the com- pliment paid to the Dissenters of England, by its adoption : — To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Tlva. poral in Parliament assembled, The Petition, See. sheweth, That your Petitioners cannot b it regard with a deep concern ' hose Statutes, which restrain and limit the exercise of the riodit of religi > us worship, and impose condi ions and penalties that - rem to them as unjust in their principle as they are injo- rious to the vital interests of true religion. That your Petitioners consider those Statutes as originating causes which no longer operate, and of which no trace at present exists, and as expressive of sentiments with regard to the nature and extent of Religious Liberty, which no longer prevail. At a period when the subjects of the British Empire, however they may differ with regard to the principles of their religion, and their mode of professing it, concur in a cordial attachment to the family on the Throne; and when enlightened views of Religious Liber y, and a corresponding liberality of spirit have been dif- fused among religious professions of all deno- minations. That your Petitioners, expressing their lively gratitude for the Concessions m* de to their Keli. gious Rights in the course of the present Reign, earnestly, but respeflfully pray, that every remain- ing Penal Statute, which extends its operation to the province of Religion, may he repealed ; and that whilst they conduft themselves as loyal, obe- dient, and peaceable subjefls to the State, ihey, in common with all their fellow- citizens, may be put in possession of complete Religious Freedom, and allowed to worship their Maker, and main- tain their Christian profession according to their own views, and their incumbent dntv, without being subjefled under the sanflion of law, to any penalties or disabilities, in consequence of their difference from the Established Church. That your Petitioners, confiding in the wisdom and justice of this Right Honourable H . use, pray that their Cause may be taken into consideration, and the relief granted to them, for which they supplicate. Last Wednesday, a male martin was taken alive from a vermin tiap, in the Hammer pond wood. Mare, field, by a man, who, on Saturday, exhibited it as a shew in Lewes. The martin, which is t f the weasel tribe, may be styled the most beauiif i of al! Bri ish beasts of prey. Its head is small, and beautifully formed ; its eyes are livrtjy ; its ears are broad, rounded, and open ; its back, ils sides, and tail, are covered with a fine downy fur, with longer hair intermixed ; the roots of an " ash colour, the middle of a bright chesnut, - nd the points black ; the head is brown, with a slight cast of red; the l gs and feet a chocolate colour, and the throat and breast white. Gessner tells us, that he once kept a tame martin, which was very ptetty and playful ; and it went about the houses of the neigh- bourhood, and always returned home when hun- SrY- _ BE I.
