The elections in France are proceeding with the most decided proponderar. ee in favour of the Roy- alist Depot its ; while 43 Royalist candidates have been elected, ouly six Liberals have received that distinction. The Monifeur of Saturday contains a royal ordinance suppressing the faculty of medicine at Paris, and directing: the minister of the interior to prepare a plan for ils re- organization. The alleged motive fur the measure is a disturbance that took place on Monday week, When the rector Wished to address the students, who bad repeatedly insulted him. Five and twenty of the first physicians and surgeons of Paris, who were professors of the different branches of medicine, have thus been deprived of their places, and 4000 students of the means of instruction. There existed only three faculties of medicine in France— those of Strasburg, • Monlpelier, and Paris-, in order to obtain the degree of doctor, or the diploma of surgeon, it was necessary to study ut the schools of one of tliese places. Accounts from Constantinople state that much dissatisfaction was excited by the appearance of another firman, making a further reduction in the value of the new money. The Sultan was so ap- prehensive of disturbance among' the Janissaries, j that he found it necessary to court their favour with large bribes. The taking of the capital of Candia by the Greeks is confirmed. Intelligence was received in town yesterday afternoon, of the decease of Mr. Zea, Minister Plenipotentiary from the Republic of Colombia. He bad long been in a declining state from his advanced years, and died at Bath, where he had gone for the benefit of the waters. THE FUNDS.— To- day was a holiday at the Bank, but the Stock Exchange was kept open. The funds were considerably depressed in ihe morning hy the arrival of expresses from Paris, bringing the quotation of the Rentes ou Tuesday 88 : 70, aud Spanish Stock Consols for the Account, w hich opened at 80j{|, declined to 80 § , again rose to SOjj, but left off rather heavy. FOREIGN FUNDS.— This was a frightful day for such persons as have entered into speculations iu the Foreign Funds, as it was Ihe time appointed for settling the account for the month. It has been anxiously expected, in order that the extent of the mischief might be ascertained. A fluctuation of 20 and HO percent, has occurred, and the result must be obvious to those little acquainted w ith such mat- ters. The total number of defaulters, it is believed, amount to nearly one hundred, and among them are individuals of great respectability, who have aban- doned their commercial pursuits, in the hope of sud- denly realising large foi tunes. For the last fort- night, but more especially for the last week or ten days, no business iu time bargains has beeu trans- acted, excepting with the view of making up ac- counts.— The sudden death of Mr. Zea, the agent of th* 1 Colombian Government, at. a in onion/ when, so » iineb uncertainty exists as to whether tbe Colombian stock will he ratified or not by the Government of South America, has led to a depression of 7 percent, already. Yesterday morning it was sold as high as 77, but left off at 70. To- day it declined to 68, but in the course of the afternoon rose to though heavy at this quotation. 1. EXECUTION.— On Wednesday morning, at an early hour, an unusually large assemblage con- gregated at the Old Bailey, to witness the shocking spectacle, the execution of six peisons, iu front of Newgate. The follow ing are the names am! offences of the wretched culprits : — Williafn Reading, aged 30 years, for a daring burglary in the premises of Mr. Westwood, jeweller, in Prince's- strect, Soho square, and stealing property value£" 2,000.— Frank Purdom, and William Corbett, alias Watson^ for an fxtensive robbery iu a public honse, in White's, court, Rosemary lane, of which crime they protested their complete innocence to the last.— John Roberts, agpil 19 years, for a burglary, in the house of a gentleman, ih the Commercial- road, Lime house.— Samuel Greenwood, for a highway robbery ou Tower, bill, which lie committed upou the person of a sailor, haying only been < i » v hargetl from Newgate the same morning for a similar offence, of which he was ac- quitted, and two davs afterwards was tried for this offence and found Guilty ! This criminal bad heen concerned in a great number of robberies : and an innocent man, who happened unfortunately to re- semble him in person and the colour of his hair ( deep red), was tried last Sessions for an offence which he had committed. The prosecutor in the case swore 44 that he was almost certain the innocent person was the man," but a most satisfactory alibi was proved, and, at the suggestion of Mr. VVontner, * tie governor of Newgate, Greenwood was brought into ( Joint, and the prosecutor was so staggered at the sight of him, that he could not say which was the robber. The prisoner was acquitted, and Green wood has since admitted that he did the robbery ! — Edward M" Williams, for a burglary in the premises of a jeweller, in Bloomsbury, and stealing property value£ 300, part of which was found at his lodgings, end a pair of ear. rin^ s were found iu the ears of the woman he lived with. BANKRUPTS, NOVEMBER 30.— Gregory Stock, of Ashwerk, Somersetshire, farmer and maltster. William Dare, of Woking, Surrey, nurseryman and seedsman.*— Nathanifl Goldstein, of High- street, Shadwell, Middlesexr- wholesale slopseller — James Turner Grocott, late of Manchester, wine and spirit- merchant .-— Thomas EdwaVds, of Gerrard- street, t$ oho, Middlesex, wool leu draper.— Thomas Mat- thews, of Ross, Herefordshire, currier.— John Jeiir kills Thompson, late of Bermondsey- wall, Surrey, boat- huilder.— James Collins Jones,. late of Bridg- north, Salop, linen and woollen- draper.— Louis Hippolite Martelly, of Finsbnry- square, London, merchant.— Luke Moult, of Norwich, iron founder. — GeorgeWingtield, of Worthing, Sussex, innkeeper. —• Isaac Field and f. uke Rovston, of Leeds, York- shire, cloth and stuff merchants.— Joseph Craig, of jHigh Holborn, Middlesex, linen- draper.— Charles Gray, of Upper- Monfagne- street, St. Mary- le Bone, Middlesex, horse- dealer.— Christopher Clric Reitli- muller, of Mark- lane, London, broker.—- Henry Ellis, of Friston, Suffolk, farmer and maltster.— Jnbw Butler, of Milk- street, London, merchant — Thomas K- irby, of Market Weigbton, Yorkshire, common brewer. DEATH or THE BISHOP OF CALCUTTA.— By the Hindostan, which arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday from Calcutta, whence she sailed on the I Sth of July, the Henyal Ifvrkaru of tbe P2th of that month has been received. It communicates the death of Dr. MIDDLETON, the resident Bishop of Calcutta, who expired on the Sth, after a short illness. His death will lie much regretted, for he was the active patron of every scheme for spread- ing- Christianity throughout the Eastern world. Curious AverOote— Mr. Coke, of Longford, in tlie County of Derby, ( brother to Mr. Coke, of Norfolk) . was the father of several amiable and accomplished daughter's. One of the tenants on his estate, a young farmer of superior address and at- tainments, had by the depression of the times become in arrears for his rent; bis landlord sent for him, and expostulated with him on the subject, aud hinted to him, that with his handsome person he might easily obtain a wife amongst some of Ins richer neighbours, that would soon enable him to pay off his arrears, and place him in better circunisiances in the world The young- farmer listened to the advice, looked thoughtful, and departed. In a few- days lie returned again, and told his landlord he had been reflecting seriously on their last conversation, aud would follow his counsel. At this interview one of the daughters of his wealthy landlord was present. In a short time afterwards, it was discovered, that John Greensmith, ( the name of the young farmer,) had effectually taken the hint, aud by an elopement to Gretna Green, had become the dutiful son- in- law of tbe genilemau who had thus unwittingly bestowed upon him this sage advice, — Birm ing ham Chi on ic I e. POSTSCRIPT. LONDON, Monday Night, Dec. 1822. THE CAMBRIDGE ELECTION— Commenced at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, and closed at • eleven on Wednesday night, when Mr. Bankcs was declared duly elected.— The numbers were as follow Mr. Baukes, 420— Lord Hervey, 2S0— Mr. Scarlett, 218. The election was conducted in such a way as rendered it impossible to discover the state of the poll till the termination of the - election. In the Mali of the Senate House were placed two tables, at each side of which were slips JOf paper printed with the names of the different candidates. On these the voters wrote " Elect," and immediately carried it to the Vice Chancellor's table, where be presided with a Proctor, and Scrutator at either side, who received the slips of paper from the voters as they came up, and handed : than to the Vice Chancellor, who threw them into a small box with a slit in the cover, just large • enough to admit the paper. DERBY COUNTY ELECTION.— The election ofa Knight to represent this County iu Parliament iu the room of the late Edward M. Mundy, Esq, took place at the Couuty Hall on Monday, the 25th Nov. The High Sheriff took the Chair soon after ten o'clock, when Francis Mundy,, of Majk- caton, Esq. the only Candidate on tbe occasion, appeared in Court with a numerous party of friends; at the same time the doors being opened to the Public, every place affording a view of tbe proceedings was immediately occupied. His Ma- jesty's writ, the Act of Parliament against bribery aud corruption nt Elections, See. having been read, and the usual preliminary business dispatched, the Sheriff addressed the Court in a neat and ap- propriate introductory speech.— Sir George Crewe then proposed Mr. Mundy, who, being seconded t> y the Hon. George Vernon, was declared dujy elected. The Hon. Member returned his acknow- ledgments. He then received tbe congratulations of his friends, and was afterwards chaired through • the principal streets of the town. Iu the afternoon, a large party of Freeholders partook of a sump- tuous dinner at the King's Head Inn, at which Mr. Mundy presided. Dinners were also pro- vided at the principal Inns, where the parties were r* isi, ted by Mr. Muudy. This forenoon tbe money market remains in a very unsettled state. Three per Cent. Consols for Account opened at 81, fell to 80;*, and again recover- ed to the opening price. Various rumour's continue to he circulated, hut we believe the cause of the de- pression this morning is, the express from Paris bringing the French Funds lower; the Saturday's price being at 87f. 30c. The rumours in the Freuch capital are that two or three of the very first Houses in London had suspended their payments, and tbat dealers in Stocks on the Royal Exchange were driven off in dozens to jail. The effect was a considerable fall in the Rentes. 3 per Cent. Cons. 80*,— 3 per Cent. Red. 79 § .— New 4 per Cents. IOI4. We regret to find, that advices from Calcutta to the 6th July, and from Madras to the 10th, confirm Ihe statement published a few days since, of a dreadful inundation of the Ganges, by which it is said one hundred thousand souls perished, who were principally inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Patau and Moorshedebati. The indigo crop, it is added, had previously heen destroyed by the rains, and that article of commerce had consequently risen to a „ reat price.— These advices also detail the melan- choly particulars of tbe loss of the Charles Mills East Indiamau, on the 20th May, in lat. 15. N. and long-. 85. 30 East. She had contended for three days with a tremendous hurricane, the wind blowing from all quarters. Sixty- six persons who were ou hoard perished ; and only the Captain, the second Officer, and six of ihe crew, were saved. She w ent down so suddenly, that none of the unfortunate victims could make the slightest efforts for their preservation. The survivors were six days at sea, in an open boat, and experienced the most dreadful hardships. At length they fell in with the French brig Scythe bound from the Mauritius, on board which ship they were imme- diately received, treated with every possible kind- ness, and conveyed to Kedgeree, to which place the vessel was proceeding. THE CONGRESS. [ From The Courier]. We apprehend that the deliberations of the Congress are draw ing towards a close, and that, before our paper of to- day shall have reached our readers, the main points which have occupied their attention will have been decided, and some of the Plenipotentiaries, probably the Duke of Wellington and the Vicomte de Montmorency, have taken their departure. It will be found, we believe, that France has succeeded in carrying the claim which she urged from the commencement of the Sittings of the Congress, and even previously during the Preliminary Conferences at Vienna. This claim related, as we have more than once said, to the right of an armed intervention on the part of France in the affairs of Spain. In this claim she has been supported by all tiie Continental Powers, but more particularly by ONE of those Powers. And the result is asserted to have been, that a Note has been drawn up, signed in alphabetical order by Austria, France, Prussia, and Russia, acknowledging the right claimed by France, leaving it to her to exer- cise it and make war upon Spain, if she deem it expedient. That France should have enforced a claim which she had no intention of exercising, is not to be believed. Undoubtedly a great deal will depend upon the decision of the Cortes, but as yet we do not. perceive in their deliberations anything that should induce us to snppo. se they are desirous of keeping upon terms with France, A recent motion made bv a Deputy to demand a categorical explanation from France was rejected by 66 against 54, a majority only of 12, but it seems to have been rejected, not because it was not in unison with the feelings of the Cortes, but because it was prema- ture. The Moniteur of Thursday last has inserted the speech made by this Deputy ( M. Berfraud de Lis), characterising it as 44 a remarkable piece " of audacious boasting & revolutionary extravagance." He accuses the French Government of having favoured the factious on all occasions— of having furnished them with clothes and warlike materials : he declares that, if they continue to excite fresh uneasiness, the moment shall arrive in ichic/ i they shall repent it. [ These expressions are thus printed in the MoniteurJ. lie hints at assisting the Revo- lutionists in France, and; in fact, reproduces the same revolutionary doctrines which were used by the French Revolutionists. Nor does it appear from the proceedings of the Cortes that the Royal Family are treated with more respect than they were. The King's Palacc is liable to domiciliary visits, though the private apartments of their Majesties and the Royal Family are not to be entered. Tbe K ing's Palace, at the commencement of the French Revolution, was declared by law to be a sacred asylum, aud we all remember how that law was OBEYED. With such language held towards France, and with such endeavours to encourage a revolutionary spirit in France, it is idle to say that Spain has not given the French Government a right to interfere and support the Royalists, who demand a Constitu- tion that shall be in fact, not in form— in deeds, not in words, Monarehial. The intelligence received this day, shews that the. Army of the Faith is reduced to great extremities, and the necessity of a speedy and powerful intervention in their favour- And this is to be expected. We shall not be sur prised to find tbe French anny advance to the line ofthe Ebro. But the revolutionary state of Spaii*, though the most important, is not the only important object that must, have engaged the attention of the Con- gress. It will be recollected that the differences between Russia and Turkey were not definitively arranged— that hostilities were suspended rather than peace decisively concluded. The public at- tention, engrossed by objects nearer home, has for • some months bepu diverted from the Danube and the i'ruth. But the military force on both those points has not been materially diminished 5 and if we may believe a Verona letter ofthe 17th, intelligence has beeu sent from Vienna to Prince Metternieh, of the Ottoman Government having resolved to keep the whole Turkish force on the war- footing during the winter! The Porte apprehends, 44 that the decision ofthe Congress, in accord with the policy of the Cabinet of Petersburg'h, may be of a nature to pro voke a speedy rupture between the two empires.' In what way this object will be arranged, is as yet only matter of conjecture. Our readers will have remarked, that we have not made any allusion to the conduct or policy of Gfeat Britain. That it will be, as it always has been under the present Ministers, consistent in all things with her honour and her security, may be safely assumed. But we have more than once asserted that whilst she is desirous of seeing all her neigh hours and every country flourishing and happy, she will preserve a strict neutrality., whatever may be the result of the differences either between France and Spain, or betw. een Ryssia aud Turkey.

LAMENTAIJLE OCCURRENCE.— On Friday, the 15th ult. a most melancholy accident occurred at the Passag- e Boat, Coalport, in this county.— The boatman's wife being out, lie had just gone into the house for the purpose of putting a few coals upon the fire ; and in the mean time a woman came to the water side, and was waiting to g* et over; when a strange man ( not a waterman)., seeing her in that situation, and it raining Very fast, got into the boat with the intention of fetching her over ; but he had scarcely gone ten yards from the shore, before the boatman, who was coming out of a back place where he had been to fetch the coals, saw nim through the window, and immediately ran Out and desired him to come back, but to no purpose. In vain did the boatman remind him ofthe danger Monday last being the day appointed for the Election of a Representative in Parliament for this County, in the room of our late deservedly esteemed Member, Sir John Kvnaston Powell, Bart, the Free- holders and others from most parts of the county began, even at an early hour, to arrive in the tovvn, which, by the middle of tbe day, had re- ceived an immense influx of visitors. Extensive preparations for the occasion had for several days been making at the Castle, where a foot- path Had been railed out from the postern on the south- east side, up to the Castle Mount. On the Mount itself, a large tent, 60 feet long, was erected, and coyered iu with canvas : within the teut were two tables and seats extending the whole length, and here abundance of cold meat of various sorts, with plenty of prime ale, spirits, & c. were provided. With the excellent provision, thus conveniently and admirably arranged, the two hundred persons from the different parts of the county, who represented the several hundreds whose banners were carried in the procession, as well as many other individuals, were regaled, and the greatest order preserved.— The above 200 indi- viduals were all sooer and industrious married men with families; every arrangement necessary for their comfort in their journey to Shrewsbury had been taken care of, and the same care was extended in providing refreshment, See. for them in returning home. A sumptuous cold collation for the immedi- ate friends of Mr. Pelham, of which maUy partook, was also provided in the Castle. About half past seven o'clock in the morning, a I large Union Flag, 24 feet by 12, was hoisted over the I principal gateway of the Castle, on a flag- staff upwards of 60 feet high, w here it waved majestically over the walls of this ancient fortress. Another beautiful flag, of white silk, 18 feet by 9 feet, on which were nobly emblazoned the armorial hearings, supporters, crestj and motto, of the Earl of Darling- ton, the proprietor of the demesne, was affixed to a flag- staff about 37 feet high, and placed on the north- west Tower, where it floated in the breeze, a conspicuous object to the country round. A flag of the same size, also of white silk, 011 which were emblazoned the armorial bearings and quarterings ( including those of Grey and Astley), supporters ( nearly as large as life), crest, and motto, of the Earl of Tankerville, was hoisted 011 the top of the White Hall. Two beautiful large blue flags, festooned and bordered with white, were also displayed from the apartments of Mis. Harnage, at the house of Mr. Cross, sadler. On one of these flags was inscribed, 44 The Independence of the County achieved by John Cressett Pelham, Esq. Nov. 14th, 1822:" reverse— j " Salopians Sons are Hearts of Oak." On the other i flag— 11 Agriculture and Commerce :" on the reverse — Unanimity and Perseverance." The flags of the Builders' Company were likewise hoisted at an early hour on the new premises erecting by Mr. Andrew Jones, mercer, in Carriers' Inn. The ringing of bells and discharges of cannon were cheering and almost incessant. A very numerous party of freeholders and friends from the neighbourhood of Oswestry partoqk of a sumptuous breakfast & wines at the hospitable mail- ! s'on of William Lloyd, Esq. of Aston Hall; another large party enjoyed similar hospitality at the festive board of John Mytton, Esq. ot Halston, on which the numerous Gold Cups, icc. won at various races by the noble steeds of. that gentleman, were taste- fully displayed. These parties afterwards united, and, with others wjio joined from the intermediate places, amounting' tog- ether noeordiug to one account to above 300, and according to another to 536 or 537, rode into town, headed by Mr. Lloyd and Mr, Mytton, soon after ten o'clock.

Whitfeld, being the first musical festival which that gentleman has conducted in this place, since his election to the Professorship. In addition to the powerful attractions of Miss Paten, Miss D. Trafis, and Mr. Vaughau, Dr. Whitfeld procured the finest instrumental baud which we ever remember to have heard in that room, and the whole was led by Mr. F Cramer, with that precision and judgment for which he is so justly eminent. The performers, in- dividually and collectively, merited and received very general approbation. The instrumental pieces were exceedingly effective, and although our limits not allow 11s to particularize those which eiicited the greatest applause, we cannot in justice to the superior talents of Cramer, Wilnian, Monzinia, and . Lindley, omit to notice, lhat their performances, as usual, gave unbounded satisfaction. Of Miss Palon, we may express ourselves iu terms of unqualified commendation; indeed the marked applause with hich she was honoured, followed by repeated en- cores, must have been extreniely' graiifyiug-; and we may venture to affirm, that further experience will raise this very promising young lady to the highest rank in her profession. Miss Travis sang with exquisite sweetness and taste, and deservedly received an equal share of public approbation. Mr. Vaughan, also gave many favourite songs and airs with his accustomed excellence. Indeed every song, duet, and ti io, afforded sucb general delight, that lhe audience were with difficulty restrained from de- manding encores in almost every instance.

Has any gentleman a Candidate to propose ?" WILLIAM LLOYD, Esq. of Aston, standing on a chair near the table, spoke as follows:— 4' Gen- tlemen, it is with the greatest pleasure I have the honour to propose my old und worthy friend Mr. Pelham, us a fit and proper person to represent this groat County in Parliament. He, gentlemen, has offered himself to your notice upon independent }) rinciples, affording an opportunity to every free- loldcr to elect the man of their own choice, thereby asserting the freedom of election according to the purest principles of our Constitution. Gentlemen, it is well known how anxjous I have been in sup- porting him; and I most sincerely congratulate you all on the certain success of this day's elec- tiom"— f f. oud chetrs ) JOHN MYTTON, of Halston, Esq. then stood up and said, ii Friends and Brother Freeholders, regretting as I do my inability to do justice to the task I have undertaken, I must say it is with the g- reatest pleasure I second the nomination of my worthy and esteemed friend, Mr. Pelham. And I do it in the confidence that he will maintain the agricultural and commercial interests of this county to the utmost of his power, and will discharg- e the high duties belonging to the situation with that zeal, ability, fidelity, and integrity, which the and good order of their respective neighbourhoods, and to promote that active industry and indepen- dence in the working part of the population which may tend to the general good of the neighbour- hood, In this inclination I heartily concur; and as in my intercourse with the county I have found many zealous and worthy friends, I hope I shall not hereafter meet with any loss among them ; and I say it at this season of the year, because it has often been said that there is nothing so joyful as an Englishman's f^ re- side, where they are in the bosoms of their families, their friends, and neigh- bours, and where their- lustre shines forth in the most glowing colours. It is my duty and inclina- tion to see that all those rights and privilegas which belong to Englishmen should still be en- joyed ; it is also my duty and inclination, as far as may be, to see them preserved in the utmost possi- ble manner. Brother Freeholders, iu concluding, I trust you will not consider it inappropriate on the present occasion, and I hope it will be understood by all, that whatever gloomy thoughts may press upon their minds, and it is not in human nature for any persons to enjoy themselves on all occasions without some alloy, for the purest metal has some, — that still, I trust, we shall shortly see the dawn of a brighter prospect before us ; and I sincerely hope that the peace and prosperity of the county of Salop will have a long continuance.."—( Cheers.) The HICH SHERIFF then said, " Has auy other gentleman a candidate to propose?" None appear, ing, he said " Let those freeholders who are in favour of Mr. Pelham hold up their bands."— The show of hands being unanimous, he said " Freeholders, I declare John Cressett Pelham, Esq. duly elected," which was received with thunders of applause. W. LLOYD, Esq.—" Gentlemen, I have one word more to add. I heg leave to propose the thanks of ; this meeting to the High Sheriff', for bis conduct in the chair." JOHN MYTTON, Esq.—" I beg leave to second the motion of thanks to the High Sheriff, for his very gentlemanly and impartial conduct in the chair." UNDER SHERIFF— 44 Such of the freeholders who are iu favour of a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, will please to hold up their hands." The show of hands was unanimous; on which the High Sheriff said,— 44 Gentlemen, 1 sincerely thank you for the honour you have done me." The business was then adjourned by proclamation to the Couuty Hall, whither the High Sheriff, Uudf r- sheriff, Member Elect, and friends, immediately went. On Mr. Pelham's entering the Hall, he was received with three times three cheers from the im- mense number of Freeholders, Friends, icc. who had already assembled there. As soon as the Court was again opened, hp said,— 44 Gentlemen, has been, I conceive, a most honourable tribute paid to me by many of those freeholders whom I have visited, that they consider I shall do my utmost in discharging my duties in Parliament. 1, lik. e all those freehold- ers, shall consider it mv interest and inclination to fierforni the same to the best of my ability, and I lope that all those freeholders present, wbo have so kindly nnd so disinterestedly offered me their sup- port, will accept my grateful acknowledgments for the same, and make it known to those who are not present in as public a manner as they please."— Loud cheering followed the delivery of this address ; after which the Return was signed in the usual manner, and the Court was dissolved. Mr. PpHiam then, amidst the reiterated cheers of an immense concourse of people, mounted a grand triumphal Car, most tastefully and elegantly deco- rated by Messrs. Scoltock, Corn- market. In front of the Car, and affixed thereto, were two flags of blue silk bordered with white, having white rosettes at the top ; 011 these were the respective arms and mottos of the Earls of Tankerville and Darlington ; a little further from the front were two similar fla^- s, containing the arn} s and mottos of Sir Edward Blount and Sir Edward Smythe, Barts.; on the sides were two more, containing the arms aud mottos of Wm. L,| oy( I ( quartering Albany) and A. W. Corbet, Esqrs. ; and on an elevation at the back one with the arms and motto of John Mytton, Esq. These flags, denoting the support received by Mr. Pelham from the respective indi- viduals, had a very beautiful effect, the varied colours of the Arms* forming a pleasing contrast with the silk. As soon as Mr. Pelham had mounted the Car, the Procession pipv£ d forward in the following order : — Two persons to regulate the march. Seven trumpeters on grey horses. Large Flag, containing ( in the centre) the arms of the town : motto, 44 Prosperity tothe Town and Trade of Shrewsbury."

JOHN CRESSETT PELHAM, Esq. then advanced, and said, It is, gentlemen, I trust never to be forgotten by me, that £ stand before you in the proud situation which the gentleman who has de- scended from the chair has announced to you. I staod here as a brother freeholder, but most cerr tainly I do aspire to another honour, and if by the freeholders of this county I should be deputed to that High Office, 1 shall never forget the former situation in which I stood. Gentlemen, that friend has described t, o you my sense of the situation in which I feel myself placed, when he spoke of the commercial and agricultural interests of this opulent county, whose inhabitants have with good sense and discretion mixed those flippy feelings which Englishmen alone possess, and these excellent qualities have shewn themselves as much in this county as in any part of the world ; and it is with a feeling of pleasure arising from the situation I am in, that I cannot but express myself extremely proud of it. Moreover, as I have in mv former addresses expressed the high opin; on I entertained of you, and feeling so, as 1 then did, what must be my feeling now, when I have the support and countenance, of two such gentleman as you have just heard. In them you have a specimen of two complete country gentlemen, whose integrity and independence is so perfect, that I blush to say it, but I must say it, that if a preference bad been given to either of them, I should have felt it my duty to have given way. ( Cheers.) It is certainly, gentlemen, in the situation in which I am about to be placed, not. my wish to court that sort of adula- tion or that applause which naturally follows where the hearts are open, and when we are placed in a situation where prudence should guide us, and we should consider it our duty as well as an honour to be circumspect and intent upon the importance of our actions ; but I receive that applause with thankfulness, and I hope it will not be'eonsidered, with respect to me, as deviating from that sense which I feel of the duties I shall have to perform. Gentlemen, having been told, what I think must be the desire of the hearts and inclinations of all I see around me, that of preserving the glory and honour to which this country has attained, and with which it has so long prospered, I trust it will be an incitement in me to endeavour by mv line of conduct to preserve those blessings which I trust will always happen to- and hefal you. Gentlemen, I hope I shall not be considered trespassing, if I take this occasion of mentioning a little of what belongs to ray own concerns.

SIR, — Most countries have some musical instru- ment endeared to them by its national associations : such are the pipe of Italy, the guitar of Fraiice, and the bagpipe of Scotland. But'uo nation, per- haps, has carried its partiality in this vv^ y so far as the Welsh in the attachment they have evinced for their favourite Harp. The Irish, indeed, also lay claim to this instrument but among the Welsh alone does it appear to have been surrounded with those national predilections which, to be thoroughly understood, must be felt. The jfarp of Wales, connected, as It were, with the soil b v a thousand romantic ties, has been alike the object of the poet's eulogy and of the idolatry ofthe people. Of the high antiquity of the Harp there can be no doubt • for w ho does not know of its esth;,* tion amongst tbe Israelites ia the time of l) ay, id ? But it may claim an origin even more ancient than this for we learn froiirthe Sacred Historv, that it was known as early as the days of Jubal, the seventh in descent from Adam, who is styled the father of all such as handle the harp and organ."* To trace the, usp of the Harp from the time of David to its introduction amongst the (• ymrtf is beyond the purpose of this SKETCH, which aims only at an outline of i$ s history as ' the national instrument of the Principality. TJie t^ rst account that we have^ of the Harp, in connection with our present subject, is^ probably, that of Aminianus Marcellinus, who'appears to allude to it as in use amongst the ancient Bards, ho are known to have had their origin with th£ ymry. The word, indeed, used by Aramianus, is which, however, has been understood to Abergele, L. Davies Bewdlei/. E. Bryan liish. Castle, E. Woo lall Bridgnorth. B. Partridge Httston, J.

D Evans was completely filled' with liair- stringe, currotisiy, braided, to sing golden praises tothe Lord." Before Wales fell under th § dominion of England its minstrels were legally incorporated and enjoyed many valuable privileges. ; They consequently made considerable proficiency in. tbe science} of music, and experienced general encouragement from their Qountrymen. 1 Jt has already been shewn from the Laws of Hywel, that the Harpers formerly enjoyed the patronage of the Welsh princes : and after the Conquest we find them' occasionally in request yyith tlie English inonarolis. The names of several who were favoured with this distinction are preserved ; and there is extant an order from James I. tothe Treasurer of his Chamber, directing him to pay to " Lewis Williams, a young youth that played npon the Harp to his Majesty and the Prinee, the sum of £ 2'," on account of his ill health. But, whatever partial advantages tho Welsh minstrels may thus have derived from the ttftirhi with England, it, " is very probable that that event was the cause of the plaintive airs which have been associated with the Welsh Harp. Notes of despond- dlicy or of sorrow have chiefly animated its strings siiice the Cymry ceased ' t(* be an independent nation ; and these melanclVoly eflusiotts are still cherished in preference to the more enlivening airs occasionally introduced from other countries — Davydd ' ab Edmwnd, a bard of the fifteenth cen- tury, allude^ to this characteristic of our hational instrument jn the following couplet, with which I shal} close my present SKETCH : — : ' Nid oes nag angel, na dyn, Nad wyl pah gano delyn."

For the. latter instrument, be longing to the same class as the lyre, may easily have been confounded with it by a person who had nly known it, as is probable in this case, by reput- ation. Concluding, then, that the Harp was the instrument contemplated by the writer before us, we find from his information that it was usua 1 for the Bards to adapt to its melodious notes the poetical praises of warriors and their valorous deeds.- j* We also le& rn from the Chronicle of the Kings, that Blegwryd, 55th King of Britain, who lived about a qentury and a half before our era, was a cele- brated musician, and well skilled in the Harp;— a ircumstance which may serve to corroborate the statement of Ammianus as to the general adoption of this instrument by the Bards.' ; The next notice' of importance qn this subject occurs in the histories of Arthur, where it is said that, while Colgrin was besieged by him ii? Yori;, his brother Badulph gained admission into the town in the assumed guise of a harper. However suspicious fchis notice limy be as a matter of history, it still proves the use of the Harp iu that age by the Saxons, who had, in all probability, borrowed it from the Britons: But I think it right here to remark, that I h ive no recollection of a single all:'. s; on to this instrument in the works of the Welsh poets of the sixth century, in which Arthur lived : a circumstance that may, hoWever, be ascribcd to the peculiar character of the subjects, on which they employed their strains. The ra- vages of war appear to have been, at tjie period in question, tbe chief ihemes of'the muse; and the troubles of that distracted age must have been extremely unpropitious to the cultivation of the peaceful custom of singing with the Harp, so pre- valent, jn after times, among the mountains of Wales. The silence of the poets of the sixth cen- tury, then, proves only that the strains of the Harp were, n that age, drowned in the louder notes of tumult and war. The fii. st authentic recognition of the Ilarp as a national instrument, is tone found in, tbe Laws of Hywel, compiled inthe teuth century. It annears from these, that, among the Officers of the Royal I Household was one denominated the Domestic 1 Bard, who'e business it was to entertain the King and his family with the charms of son'g and min- strelsy, for which purpose he was to be provided with a Hijrp by the royal bounty:' It was particu- larly his duty, by liis performances, to animate his cpuntrvmen on the day of battle ; and the national air of ( Jnbetoaeth Prydain ( the Monarchy of: Britain) was appointed to !> e sung or played on the occasion. It is also recorded in the same ancient Laws, that a skilful performance on the Harp was considered as an indispensable accomplishment of a Welsh gen- tleman ; and the value of the Harps of the King, the Domestic Bard, and a private individual, is respectively specified— the two former at one hun- dred and twenty pence, and the Jatter at half the sum. From the time of Hywel to that of flruftydd ah Cynan, Prince of North Wales during the close of the eleventh centijry and the commencement of the following, we have no distinct notices of the use of this instrument in Wales. But there can be no doubt of its general prevalence during the interval, from the circumstance of GrutFydd " having resolved to reform the national minstrelsy owing to some abnses, > r imagined, which h$ d crept into it. For tin. purpose he held a Musical Congress in the year 1110, to whieji he summoned not onlv the most eminent Welsh minstrels, but also those of Ireland and other countries. The twenty- four canons of music, before acknowledged in Wales, were revised and corrected at this Congress, and a statute enacted for the future guidance of the Musicians. As GrufTvdd ab Cynan was born and educate^ in Ireland, it is' probable enough that he availed himself of this opportunity to make some innova- tions on Welsh minstrelsy, agreeably with his foreign prepossessions: and the Welsh Harp may, on this occasion, have lost something of its primi- tive character. A copy of Gruftydd's statute is preserved, and the directions of it are extremely minute, extending even to . tlie ipanagement of the fingers in p Jay ing on the Har^. It also records the names of the principal musicians that attended the Congrefis, and is, altogether, a most curious document. + « <•> » > From the eleventh century to the present ^ ime the Welsh writers,' and especially th,: Bards," abound in allusions to the Ha: p, which has', throughout the period, maintained i. ts ascendancy as tlie favourite instrument ofthe Cywri/, to the exclusion of the crm. ifi and Lag- pipe, which formerly partook of its'poptilarity. r jGiraldus Cambrensis, who wrote in tb$ twelfth jeentury, informs us, that travellers in W'ales, iu tfiat age, were entertained at the houses, in which they stayed, from morning to night, with the conversation of young women and the strains of the Harp," aud that eveiy family had, for this purpose^ frs damsels and HarjDs. Davydd ab jCjlvyi- tym, a celebrated poet of the fourteenth eontury, has an effusion ^ addressed to a leathern Harp, l » v which he seems to meau one ' strung with gut, which, about this period, was substituted for the hair, previously used. The poem is a remarkable specimen of the bard's happy talent for ridicule, which he employs, in the most lavish manner, upon the recent innovation, by comparing the sounds of the gut with " the croaking ot a lame goose in the corn, the cries of an Irish witch, the rumbling of a crazy mill- stream," and other images equally ludicrous. He concludes his philippic by urging the restoration of the hair- strung Harp in j, he fol- lowing lines, which tlie Welih reader will be glad . to have in the original.

It would occupy too npicb space to particularize all the notices contained in the j; eets since the time of Davydd ab- Gwilym ; but one by Richard Cyuwal, who flourished in the beginning of the seventeenth century, deserves to", be transcribed. It is an allusion to a tarpons Harp of Prince JLlywelyn, of which he speaks in the following terms : /' The Harp of Llywely. n, mos$ honoured through ages, That exc; Hent character and ornament to his country, Watkin Williams VJryun, Bart, at his last audit- day, AGAIN' reduced the reiual of his tenantry ' 25 per cent. The worthy Baronet and Family are expected in this country about paster next.— It is scarcely necessary to say, that the rumours which have been so industriously propa- gated, as to the motives which operated on the Baronet in visiting the Continent, are altogether without foundation. Sir D. Erskirie, l{ arf, of Plas. issa, Carnarvon- shire, and of Pwll y- rrochon, in the county of Denbigh, has directed that 25 per cent, be allowed to hj$ tenants in both counties, at his audit in December next. On tiie most considerable estate in Berkshire, the proprietor has granted abatements out of the rents of last year, some to the extent cf 50 per cent, to those of his tenants whose situation seemed to require it; he has reduced for Ihe entire period of the lease, to a reasonable sum, such of the rents as had been stipulated for at the time of the highest prices; and he has given notice that all his tenants will receive a farther abatement of 20 per cent, out of the rents next payable.— It is with great pleasure we inform our readers that the Hon. Fieder ck West, of Culham Court, Berks, has with his wonted liberality announced to his numerous tenantry in this county, and iu Wales, his intention of abating from 15 to 20 percent, on the year's rent due at Michaelmas last.

' : ' ' EXTRAORDINARY CA$ E. COURT OF CQTKISION PLE^ S, MONDAY. WRITS of RJCIHT.— Short Joseph and Rn/ rt> rfy Annesley— Mr. SERJEANT PELL begged to call the aitention ofthe Court to a matter of a. very extraordi- nary nature. Tie regretted that he was not able to have laid tbe statement before their ^. ordships on earlier day, because it was a case requiring consider- ableatteniioh. His application was founded on several affidavits, and its object was to compel two gentlemen to answer the matfer of them. The two gentlemen against whom his complaint was directed were Attor* neys of this Court, audit Was in consequence of their being so, that he applied to their Lordships. The name of the cause which fiirjilhbed the grounds £ or hi? motion was Short v. Pratt. It wos a writ of right. His application was for a rule, to the effect tha^ fhosj* gentlemen iie. c'alledon lo shew cause why they should not deliver up to the present Attorney for tlie Plaintiff all the documents in their possession iu that cause, and why they should nol account for all money received ^ y them in that cause; and lastly, why they should Hot deliver up alt the papers and writings under their controul in the same cause. The Leavneo Serjeant then observed that he could not bjit describe this as one of the Uioq't extraordinary cities of niisconducl that ever appeared'in'a Court of Justice. ' The affidavits were of great length, and were made in Birmingham. The first affidavit was fh^ t Of stywt hiiijself. Jt stated lhat Deponent had beeu a Hfor for severi'l years in a regiment of militia, at one shilling per duy, and tlfnt he was never worth more than £ 5"; that be had been informed he \ vas entitled to certain* esta'tta inlands and houses of considerable value, iii consequence t » f which he applied lo a person named 11' oVuies. The affidavit of Holmes stated that he idtroditced Short to a third person, on whose recommendation'application was dually made to those Attorneys." Another gen- tleman also^ of the nap, ie of Bell, who lived in the Axlelphi, and who was conversant with tracing pedi- grees and titles to land and htfljaes, was consulted ou the business. After an interview, those Attorneys proposed to Holmes to have ^ cjvice taketL, when- both Short and Holmes declared ^ that they were poor " persons, and entirely unable to j> ay for any qpjnion " law' pioceedings." One of Attorneys re- or law p ied—" 1 ain the poor man's friend, And shall not ' want more money of you than is to be paid out of ' pocket for the costs attending " the proceedings." Both these gentlemen assured the party that they would enter proceedings in the cause for " Joseph Short, as in the case ofa pauper, and that'the estaia would be undoubtedly recovered for all the parties'. They then desired to have some money, and d[ d ac- cordingly obtain from those poor people 4* 5 Tha different siiips'of mon^ v pfVid by Short aiid bis friends to} those gentlemen from lime to time were iu sums of £ 5, £ » >, £ 50, £" 20, £ 75, £ 15, £ 25, £ 25, & c. They Amounted in all to more than £ 1,000. lu every inl stance in which they applied for money they promised absolute success in the suit, and assured the panics that they should ride ia their carriages iu case they supplied the money necessary for Carry ing' 011 thf? proceedings. They at length got a person named iVlayo, a w « ue merchant, of Birminghafh, to make an advance of some money, and had a deed drawn up securing to him' a moiety of t{ ie Jands an « l nouses, after they were' reCoVered, in otder to remunerate him for his advance. This deed between Short and Mayo Was drluyn " p hy one of those Attorneys. Other panies; wlio made similar advances, were also to be imjemljified iu ihe same njanner. He would contend that it wag contrary to law thus to induce persons to engage in JaW suits, whether such suits were right or wrong. Those gentlemen went farther even Conscious th^ t tliey were in- ducing those unfortunate people tq embark in projects contrary to law j they obliged them to the number of six or eight, to take an oath to keep, secresy'j and \ o'be true to each other, and to employ no other Attorney bni those gentlemen. It was sworn in the affidavit, that one of the Attorneys having put the Bible into the hands of two of those jfersons, prescribed the oath to the following effect : —" That you, and each of you, shall keep secret all H matters" fn this ennse; you shall be true to each. 4t other ; you shall consult no Attorney but us— So " help'yon Qod. V' This oa{ h w^ s prescribed to most of the individuals frotn wlto'iri those e'nileniV| i hiu| gt> tany money. They issued no fewer thai{ sixty- one writs of light at the suit of this poor map. After that they demanded a sum of £ 1,300. Th<- sums they had received at different periods were acknowledged iu tins bill; but they did not state from '. whom they got it, or how ihey expended it. For each of tho writs of right the sum of t' 5. 10s. was charged ; and notwithstanding all the money received, nothing was yet ootif iu the cause hiitber Jimiy thf issuing of those writs. The present application was founded on the aeknowltnfued pvlneiple', that Attorneys were not to go about'iudiH'ing ' and urging persons to engage in law suits against the propert- y » f other individuals The conduct of \ bone geunpinen. in every view of it, came under the o^ eijqfwti'^ lia:;? r| y.

He believed lie had shewn enough of wickeduess in this case to insiiiutean inquiry into the matter'. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that he would not then take on himself to decide whether ihis was " chami p. rsy' 1 or maintenance," but'" it was certainly an indictable offence, aud the Court would not call on the parties to answer to matters for which they migh£ be afterwards indicted. Mr. JUSTICE RPUROUGH observed, that the present was worse than any case yet brought before the Court. The LORD CPIEF JUSTICE recommended such a modification of the a^ davits as Would separate theii* charge of criuiinaliiy from the demand for the papers'. He would liot impnte any blame to the party making the application,' hut it was incbmbent on the Court to . consider the" diQjculty't J* M was sought to be im- posed on those genllemen, at the close ofthe term, to" search tjirAu girt lie countl- y for affidavits lo rebut Ihe charges macie against lln ui. Mr. JPSTJC^" PARK observed that the charge amounted to tlie offeiiee of common liarretrv, and a common harretor being an aitorney,' was liable to punishment of fourteen year's transportation. It wonfd. be too hard to'call 011 a party so late in th^ term to answer to such charges.

After some consideration, the Magistrates informed the Defendant, they were clearly of opinion his pnhlical tion was within the inleijt and meaning of the 33 Geo. 111. c. 78.

Letters addressed to Lloyd's, from Jamaica, state lhat the British schooner Mandeville had been captured, after having fought two piratical schooners for ihree hours, off Jamaica, on the 30th of September, with the miisl determined gallantry. Her cargo was extremely valuable, consisting of gold dust, indigo, cochineal, and other valuable products of Poyais, and her capture has much injured the property of those interested in the speculation. The Courier says—" lYe arc informed, that the British schooner Mandeville, lately taken off Jamaica by Pirates, as reported at Lloyd's, after a severe action, was captured under very peculiar circumstances, if our report is true, she was one of three vessels from Jamaica, employed in the smuggling trade of the Spanish Alain, and was taken by regular Spanish vessels, stationed on the coast for thc prevention of the contraband trade." Captain Franklin, the intrepid traveller to the Coppermine River, on Ihe northern shores of America, is promoted to the rank of Post Captain. STATE OF SPAIN. At first it was announced that thc Revolution of 1820 was the act of the universal Spanish nation ; and the hold assumption, combined with the hatred and contempt which every rational being must have entertained for the old Government, seemed to command thc assent of every one, without and withiu the Peninsula, to the New Constitution. The New Constitution, however, could not go 011 without money, and loans were obtained by the most extravagant, and the most unfounded, state- ments of national resources in the property of the. Chinch, and the domains of the Crown. But the day of payment is a day of truth ;— when tbe borrower! money was exhausted, and when the national property ( including Church property) was nearly all applied, without diminishing thc public debt, nr adding to the. strength of the State; it became necessary to add confiscations to the loans nnd sequestrations, which had previously supplied thc ways and means. Sequestrations and confisca- tions are, however, the most expensive of financial schemes— they are worse even than loans; for their necessary effect is to make enemies of friends and neutrals, and to force into resistance and despair those enemies whoai conciliation, or even a qualified indulgence, might reclaim. Civil war, such as always follows such a course of policy, instantly succeeded to tiie plundering and proscribing system adopted by the Cortes : and in the expenses of that war, to which the whole resources of the State are inadequate, the kingdom of Spain is now paying usurious interest for the LOANS taken from the Church and the Aristocracy. The next aid borrowed from delusion was the • threat to send into the Northern Provinces a mili- tnrv force of 50,000 men ; hut the exposure of this falsehood was anticipated by the War Minister, who, a month before, confessed that thc whole kingdom could not furnish such a force ; and the falsehood involved in the menace is confirmed beyond a doubt by tlie subsequent proceedings of Minn in Navarre and Catalonia, and, above all, by a Proclamation issued by that General on the 24th of October, of which w'e cannot pretend to give a character, because, in truth, it transcends in enor- mity any thing ever promulgated in savage or civilized warfare. It is enough to say that it de- nounces conflagration to all neutral towns and villages, and death to their Municipal Officers, and threatens the same extreme punishment to all MUNICIPAL COUNCILLORS, JUSTICES OF PEACE, and CLERGYMEN OF VILLAGES, withiu three leagues of his bead- quarters, BY WHOSE FAILURE TQ JTR. MSU INFORMATION ANY DISADVANTAGE SHALL BE- TAI. L THE CONSTITUTIONAL ARMY 1! ! No expression of detestation can be too strong / or the avowal of such a resolution as that which Minn has thus declared in tbe face of the civilized world. But it is not as an evidence of cruelty and contempt for nil sanctions, human and Divine, that this Proclamation is most interesting ; it is as a confession of weakness that it cli e! ly deserves attention. It admits, in the first place, w)% at has breu hitherto so industriously concealed— the exist- ence nf a neutral party in Spain ; it also avows an apprehension, that that party regards the troops of the Seo Urgcl or Royalist Regency with more favour than those of the Sovereign Democracy at Madrid ; for nothing but such a fear can explain ( nothing can palliate) the adoption of a. policy calculated to alienate the friends of the Spanish Revolution throughout Europe, ami more than any thing calculated to recruit the ranks of the Royalists, Without pretending to any direct knowledge if the affairs of Spain above that possessed by our con- temporaries, it is evident from the constitution of human nature, that there must exist in Spain a. party equally removed from ihe blind fanaticism of the Seniles, and the plundering proscribing de- signs of the Liberals ; and we accept with satis- faction even Mina's horrid confirmation of this opinion, because that confirmation opposes the strongest arguments against foreign interference ; and affords thc most satisfactory prospect of a happy termination of the miseries of the Peninsula, by the establishment of » rational system of Go- vernment. To the Editor of thc Salopian Journal. SIR, Should it not be deemed too great an intrusion, I should feel obliged by the. insertion of the following remarks in reply to those of Messrs. AMATEUR and CYSIRO. Did not the base misrepresentations and gross falsehoods which those gentlemen have pub- lished to the world require correction, I should not have a second time attempted to intrude upon your indulgence. Willi respect to lhat pnrt of Amateur's narrative, which applies to ibe Wrexham Eisteddfod, one re. mark deserves severe animadversion. Ile exprew. lv 11. se 1 Is lhat ihe favourable opinion entertained of the " blind Minstrel" by some of ihe company " had, 110 doubt, a grcal weight oil his behalf with Hie Umpire." If this remark be t; ue, what must rhe world think of Ihe Umpire ? Why, that lie was a partial and uncon- scientious judge. ' Hut 1 believe none, not even Amntear himself, is of that opilii. in. Had the merit of the '" blind Minstrel" been eclipsed by that of " his great competitor," is it fair to conclude lhat the Umpire wonld have disgraced himself by giving his decision ill favour of the former, because a few huli v id mi's manifested a favourable disposition to- wards him? No reasonable man can credit the assertion; for in that ease he would not only hare acted with gross injustice, but would have subjected himself to the just censure of ihe public. But it is, indeed, the opinion of many gentlemen who attended the Eisteddfod, that, had'tlie Umpire followed bis own inclination, he would unquestionably have decided in favour of Mr. Ciiunah. As to the painful sensation experienced I'v those whom Amateur de- scribes as being " skilful in Music," and who were so sanguine in iheir expectation of the success of their favourite, Mr. Cilnnah, it is probable that they were as litlle skiiful in Ibat science as Amateur; anil being scientifically deficient, tliey were incompetent to judge of the performances of ihe " great compet- itors." Their disappointment, therefore, must indis- putably he . attributed to those prejudices which Mr. Cunnaii's social relations were naturally calculated to excite. As lite Eisleddfild was held amidst the friends of Mr. Ciinnab, we nHurally expected a pre- ponderance of wishes in his favour; and us the " blind Minstrel" had hut few- friends at Ihe meeting, we built our hopes of his success entirely on his own merit. And we are proud to slate thnt our hopes were not misplaced ; for such was the excellence of his performance, that it. elicited universal and re- iterated plaudits, and evident proof of his being ihe favourite Minstrel. A recurrence to the particular proceedings of the Eisteddfod would afliird ample additional evidence of Ihe truth of ihe remark. I shall now notice lhat pnrt of Amateur's narra- tive, which relates to the Carnarvon Eisteddfod. Il may not he amiss to premise, that five persons had been appointed to act as Judges ; one of whom, Mr. Cotton, had been selected a few minutes only before the Minstrels commenced iheir performances, ( lis appointment originated merely fiom the President's recommending him as a gentleman possessing a good ear to Music. It should he recollected that Mr. Richard Roberts had, previously to thc commence- ment of the contest, determined to act the part of an impartial Judge ; and in accordance with this laud- able determination, he occasionally staled to the other Judges tbe merits aod defects which appeared to hiin to prevail in the performances of the different Minstrels. Having very patiently attended to the remarks made on Mr. Clinnnh's performance hy llie olher Jndges, he merely pointed 0111 to them the errors which occurred to him, particularly " his playing out of time," in the correctness of which remark lliey unanimously concurred, in confirma- tion of the truth of my former notices relative to ( lie errors apparent in the performances of Mr. Ciinnah, abundant evidence might be adduced. Mr. Roberts, having purposely confined himself to the. mere ex- pression of his opinions, abstained from urging any tiling which might tend in the least to influence the decision. The decision having been communicated to the President bv Mr. Cotton, be immediately pro- claimed that William Hughes was tlie Candidate entitled to ihe Silver Harp, and Johu Morgans to the Medal, and tbey were accordingly invested with their prizes amidst loud demonstrations of applause. Mr. Cunnah's friends look all possible precaution to prevent the public exposure of his professional delects, but by some mishap a paragraph appeared in the North Wales Gazette, stating that the Can- didates William Hughes and John Morgans were Ihe hest Timeists. Amateur should consider, that before a man can justly merit the high and flattering enco- mium of possessing " great talents and merit,* 1 it is AGRICULTURAL RUIN..

I wish, however, further to observe, that if Purus's remarks [ extracted from the Cnmbro- Briton], which more immediately affect the integrity, disposition, and conduct of Mr. Roberts. are founded on false reports, I am disposed to make allowance for bis misrepre- sentations; but if tbey are the products of his own invention I have no hesitation in asserting, that he is a mercenary propagator of palpable falsehoods. But why does Amateur suppress Purns's remark, that Mr. Ounnah was u too fond of playing his own composition and of sounding his own trumpet ?" Because it did not answer his purpose. I shall now introduce myself to Mr. Cymro, in order to notice the intentional misrepresentations and gross falsehoods with which his narrative is fraught. As lo the nature of Mr. Roberts's conversation respecting Mr. Connah, I believe it has invariably turned on his abilities as a scientific performer, and not in any instance 011 his moral conduct; and it may be, that Mr. R. has occasionally made such remarks 011 his " taste, science, and execution, 1' as were founded 111 truth, but were unpleasing to his fiiends! As Mr. R. was the triumphant Minstrel at Wrexham, it is very unlikely that his " gizzard" should contain the least particle of u gwenwyn." It is indeed reasonable to suppose jhof the triumph bad created in him a laudable pride and self- importance which would prevent the existence of the base passion attributed to him by Cyinro. As to John Morgans, the following are the " real facts " lie never was Mr. Roberts'* pupil, lie commenced, I believe, with one Erasmus Griffith, lie was subse- quently under the instruction of the late Mr. Edwards, of Bangor, lie arrived only four days previously to the commencement of the Eisteddfod, lie neither practised nor played in the presence of Mr. R. nor did he even hear him play, since his arrival, until lie commenced his performance at the Eisteddfod. Ample testimony can be produced in support of these facts. As Mr. Edwards was highly admired as a most excellent performer on the Welsh Harp, and as John Morgans had the good fortune of being pupil to so eminent a master, 1 think no man will believe that " he was the worst of the eleven Min- strels." Were Mr. Edwards now living, I am sure he would smile at the refined notions, which the friends of Mr. Cunnah have formed of his >' taste, science, and execution." ll is extraordinary, nay lamentable, that, any man should debase himself so ejjregiously by lending his head or hand in propa- gating the gross falsehoods which Cymro, with matchless effrontery, speciously denominates " real facts." For want of " real facts," he is reduced to the uecessify of adopting false assertions as the grounds of crimination. C) inro, does not thy con- science upbraid thee? As many of the remarks contained in my former letter may be applied to those of Messrs. Amateur and , Cymro which I have passed unnoticed, I have purposely abstained from a repetition of them. ELefore I bid adieu to these Gentlemen, 1 wish to advert, to a paragraph in my former letter, which they have purposely neglected to notice. I wish to state that the " blind . Minstrel" will contend with their favourite Mr. Cunnah for One Hundred Pounds, being double the sum before proposed. If his friends consider him the superior Minstrel, they wilt- doubtless urge him to accept the challenge. Had I 001 been from home, Messrs. A. and C.' s narratives should have met with earlier attention. Deeply sensible of your laudable impartiality and independence, I am, Sir, Your's, VERITAS. Dolgelleu, October, 1822. From the above it will appear that thc Imports o Wheat from Ireland' the three last years have been four times as much as the three, preceding years. This year's imports being made up only to Oct. 30 will fully realise this. This extraordinary increase of the three or four last years more than counter- balances the diminution of Foreign Imports, and gives just, cause to suspect that much of the Irish Imports is smuggled from abroad. The shipping of Liverpool was found some years o< » o to consist of the twelfth part of the whole kingdom. If this be a fair criterion to judge of the quantity of Corn brought into England, it appears that there has been imported near 30 millions of Wheat during the last six years. Mercator states that 12 millions of Wheat is the con- inmption of Engjmid annually. Here, then, is nearly half. the consumption furnished by Foreigners and the Irish. If we take into the account the Flour imported, perhaps it will exceed half the consump- tion. Adu to this, the immense quantities of Oats, Barley, Rye, Cheese, Butter,- & e. & c. from the same quarters, and how is it possible that the manufacturers of Wheat,* os Hume, Salmon, Pnffendon, kc call the land occiipiers, can carry on their operations against such discouragements ? Hume, in his His- tory, speaks severely enough of the discouragement Agriculture met with, from occasional prohibitions to export Corn, but never was heard of " stffch a system of folly and iniquity as of first permitting, and still more of persisting in, and that to the present moment, the measure of importation, when there was no- pro- bability of a scarcity, and when the prices of food were os low a*, with our incumbrances of national debt, it was possible to produce grain, Sic. See. It must be ever kept in, mind, that when the property of any one class is attacked, there is 110 security for any other branch of the community. Such an attack was made with premeditation, and is still carrying 011, against the land- owners and occupiers. " The Farmers must come down" was a cry, raised by men behind the scenes, and vociferated through the land. " Cheap Corn!" " Bread or Blood'" was the war- whoop against, I will not say the Farmers only, hut against the Country at large. For a present seeming advantage, however unjust, multitudes joined those who knew they were deluding the kingdom to its ruin. Amicus Patria? has shewn how the Stockholder may tremble for his property. Well he may. when Mr, Vnnsittnrt has told him in the House of Commons, when defending the Sinking fund, that the purchase of Stock to that amount comprises all the real transfers, acknowledging ? i » at n> v the prices of Stocks tire merely nominal, and serve to lull tlie Stock- holders asleep." The Sinking Fund serves the gieat Stock- holders gradually. to withdraw their capital at a price more than double what they would otherwise obtain. Tliis is done at the expense of the nation, for if Stocks were only half the price, double the Stock would be purchased, to diminish the debt and interest payable thereon. Surely tbe sinking of the rents and capitals of thc staple manu- facture of the kingdom, the manufacture of the soil, to enable it to feed and to clothe the population, must make Stocks a more precarious property, than when our prosperity was undeniable, and not ficti- tious, as certain persons would insinuate. It is agreed that Farmers and their Landlords must and will be crushed, if instantaneous efforts are not made to prevent it. Mercator says. Parliament can give no relief, I believe him. But the cause is not a natural bnt a moral incapacity. It was said by a Member of the House of Commons in that House, the Parliament before the present, that " Money does every thing here." The exorbitant gains of the ni'mied men must come down, nnd perhaps be refunded, as the less iniquitous gains of the infamous South Sea Directors were. Is it not undeniable that the motiied interest carry every measure? What party do they take in Parliament ? Is it not that of the Minority? Does not this serve to blind the Whigs out of Parlia- ment, who suppose all that their partisans in Parlia- ment do, must be right; the Tories judge the same by whatever passes the Majority of the House of Commons, and thus the nionied men are suffered to proceed from one step to another in the betraying and ruining of their Country, and in the preparation for their bitter enemies the French to invade and destroy us, our religion, liberties, and property, if indeed there be any of these left 11s. That there is a real coalition of the opposite tides of the House can never be doubted, when it is observed that however hostile to each other in the Houae to save appear- ances, the lute Lord Londonderry and Mr, Baring went lovingly together to the Continent to negotiate the Peace! " Who were; the real bargainers as to the terms of this precious Peace ? Thes*? were the worst England, notorious as she has been for throwing awav all tiV fruits of her victories, ever made since the Crown has been deprived of its powers of con.- trouling Ministers, who- are only nominally the serv- ants of the Crown, hut in reality those of tlie majority m Parliament.-]- Is it not au acknowledged fact, stance, abundant crops, without a word about rntnons importation ; — economy, namely at the, spigot of necessary expenses, but say not a word of the waste at the bunghole, the vast and enormous profits made by the absorbers of our money and credit. To regain our right of Petitioning, let 11s meet in Parish Vestries, and Petition the Crown to call a new Parliament such as hath been approved by the whole nation in Cromwell's time. Stand by the Crown, which by the Constitution ought to exercise its im- portant prerogatives independent of either or both Houses of Parliament, as they ought also to act perfectly independent of the Crown and of each other. Such a Parliament would Address the Crown to order a strict enquiry to be made into the affairs of the Bank. By Whose authority the Coin deposited there was removed. Whether the Directors obtained this money, nnd whether they immediately applied for an Act to return to Cash Payments ? And Agri- culture and Credit would be relieved by placing not 600,000 or 700,000 but 30 millions of Wheat under lock, or cause it to he exported, and the interest of money lowered, together with a stoppage to the Importation of the earth's produce, and to the Ex- portation of money, which is the sinews of war, and which will be better in our hands than in the hands of tbe enemy. Agricultural and Commercial meetings of the • master manufacturers might be held to petition and to act in concert. BRITO. November 2filh, 1822.

THE KING V, RADFORD, In this case the defendant, a Sheriff's Officer, was brought up on the motion of Mr. Cooper, to answer a complaint made against him by a person named Wood, charging him, the said defendant, with having overcharged the complainant a considerable sum by way of fees, whilst the complainant was in his custody under, arrest. It had been referred to the Master to report, whether the defendant's charges were extor- tionate or not, and the Master now reported, that the defendant had charged a sum of £ 21. 13s. 6d. by way of fees against the complainant, beyond what1 he ought legally to have done. Mr. Cooper now addressed the Court, and tirgfd the enormity of the defendant's conduct, in thus adding to the distress of tlie distressed, and praying their Lordships to mark their opinion of his conduct by the weight. nf punishment inflicted. Mr. Holt addressed the Court for the defendant. The Court ordered that the defendant should re- fund the sum of £ 21. 13s. 6d. to the complainant, pay the expenses of the present application, and further pay . a fine of £ 25 to the King: ihe com- plainant undertaking at the same time not to bring any action for penalties under the statute. On Thursday one of the Coventry weavers, who, having been brought up for judgment, and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, was committed to the King's Bench Prison, previous to his removal to a County Gaol, contrived to disguise himself, so as to elude the vigilance of the turnkey at the lobby, and got clear off.— Such an instance has not occurred in the King's Bench since the memorable and still inexplicable escape of Lord Cochrane,— The man's name was Horton, and hc has since surrendered himself. State of the Country.—( From a Doncaster paper.)— r" If we have nothing of a particular attractive nature in our own county to notice, as a novelty to our readers, we have a full and pleasing assurance from all our manufacturing districts of the bustle and activity which pervade those depart- ments of trade. Our greatest staples continue in increased demand, and there is scarcely a hand unemployed. Allowing that the profits of labour may not be so great as during the period of war, every article of comfort and convenience of life is as comparatively low ; and as the demand is likely to be more steady and permanent, the advantages are inconceivably greater than when an unexpected flush gives but a short- lived activity, with, perhaps, greater profits to the markets, and a deadness follows, which throws thousands and tens of thousands of the poorer classes out of employ* ment and bread."

During the past week C.

There are about six weeks before tbe Parliament meets. In this interval, if eagerly used, important and constitutional measures may be taken to insure success, by the blessing of the Almighty, on the endeavours of the oppressed against their and their Country's enemies. The right of petitioning has been nearly wrested from us by thc policy of those who justly fear what must be the simultaneous effort of all parties in the nation Whig aud Tory must unite out of Parlia- ment, as we see they do in il, notwithstanding their hostile pretences. . their contrivance is to collect all the lowest people, who outnumber the intended peti- tioners. At a County Meeting, these trnined bands are charged beforehand to secure the possession of the County Hall or other place of meeting, apd to prevent the discussion of the business proposed^ by preventing any being heard, but their flatterers, and the betrayers of the interests of those whom they make their tools, in common with those of the nation. These flatterers are generally men in opposition, who harangue the injudicious npon subjects which they know have nothing in them but delusion.

How much letter is this than oppression and scanty wages! SMOKV CHIMNEYS.— A correspondent from York assures us, that he has completely succeeded in curing smoky chimneys by the following simple means. A wire gauze front is fitted over the fire place, of about twenty- two wires to the inch, the . effect of which he states to be itistant- aneo u s.— Kaleidoscope. Beer and Porter.— The Egyptians have the credit of being the first inventors of beer; they called it the Pelusian liquor, because it was made at Pelusiutn, a city near the mouth of the Nile, about twelve hundred years before the Christian sera. — Tlie porter, for which London has become so dis- tinguished, was first introduced about the year 1730. Previous to that time, the malt liquors in general use were ale, beer, and tWo- pe; nny; it was then customary to call for a pint of half- and- half, that is, half heerk. half two- penny ; or else a pint, or tankard, of three threads, meaning a third of ale, beer, and two- penny. Then the publican was obliged to draw from three casks to serve one customer. To avoid this trouble and waste, a brewer, whose name was Har- wood, conceived llie ideaxif making a liquor, which should partake of the united flavours of ale, beer, and two- penny ; this he called entire, or entire butt beer, meaning that it was drawn entirely from one cask or butt. It was soon discovered to be a very hearty nourishing liquor, suitable to porters and other working people, whence it obtained the name of Porter* to the King,) and other eminent Physicians, in pre- ference to Foreign Tea, as the most pleasant and powerful Restorative hitherto discovered, in all Nervous, Bilious, and Consumptive Disorders, and in. every other Debility of the Nervous System. This Tea, so pleasant to I he Taste and Smell, is an effectual Purifier of the Blood, and by promoting gerttle Perspiration, powerfully assuages those ex- cruciating Pains derived from the Gout or Rheuma- tism : aud ig of sovereign Efficacy in removing Com- plaints of the Head, invigorating the Mind from those self- created Alarms, which too frequently render the Existence of Nervous People intolerable.

Rank in Society. Life Insurance is of mnuifest Consequence to all who hold Estates for Life, Situations nnd Offices, Civil, Ecclesiastical, or Professional; to Officers in the Army and Navy, & c. as, by Payment of an Annual Premium, the Party insured is enabled to provide for Wife, Children, or others, whose future Wejfare lie may wish iu vain, by other Means, to promote. It affords a permanent ultimate Security to those who advance Money upon Annuities or otherwise. It renders Leases, determinable on one or more Lives, nearly equal in Value to Freehold Estates, as an Insurance to the Amount of the Fine, payable on the Demise of a Party nominated lo such Leases, will produce the Sum required for the Renewal. It is a cheering Refuge to Parties en- gaged in extensive and speculative Undertakings ; it affords to Persons in Trade the certain Means of Indemnification against a bad or doubtful Debt; in short, Life Insurance, established in Policy, sane- tioned by Government, and confirmed by the Test of Experience, is become, to almost every Situation in Human Life, a Measure equally important, useful, and beneficial. Annuities are granted upon the most equitable' Terms, under a special Act of Parliament granted to this Office. THOMAS PARKE, Secretory.
