OME time since, diiting the winter season, I had the misfortune to have a fall, by which I received a wound in my right leg ; the wound did not appear at first to be of much conse- quence, hut finding that its appearance became alarming, 1 placed myself under the care of a medical gentleman. His efforts proving1 ineffectual, I applied to another of the faculty, and subsequently to four others, all of whom were reputed for their powers in the healing art; but rather than my wound being cured, it relapsed into a most frightful ulceration, rendered still more atSictive and distressing by the apparent necessity of my leg- being taken off. Hav- ing thus obtained all the advice that money could purchase, and also taken a most incredible quantity of physic, from which I did not derivt* the smallest portion of benetit, 1 was about to commit myself into the hands of a Surgeon, when, fortunately, I was induced to enquire after Dr. Smith's PLOUGH- MAN^ DROPS, and before 1 had taken the half of one small bottle, the wound began to assume the most healthy appearance. I continued to take the Drops, to thf » amount of five small bottles, and my leg gradually returned to its w'onted state of soundness, aud has continued so to the present time. It would be an ungrateful feeling on my part Were I to with- hold my heartfelt testimony to the valuable proper- ties which these Drops contain; and I am therefore called upon to avow that I consider this one of the finest cures that ever came within my knowledge, and shall be glad at any time lo give my personal attestation to the same.

Important intelligence has been received from Paris, confirming not only the passage of the Bidassoa by the French army on the 7th inst. but stating that on the preceding day a part of the French troops were for the . first time engaged with a small corps of French and Italian refugees who have, taken up arms in the cause of the Spaniards. From the conduct of the French soldiers in the affair, and the manner in which the passage of the Bidassoa seems to have been effected, there appears t « v) » e. no reason to expect any immediate or extensive symptoms of defection in the invading army.— The following is extracted from the official account: — u Jean de buz, April 7. u One hundred and fifty or two hundred French and Spaniards presented themselves to- day, with a tri- coloured flag,' 011 the Spanish side of the Bidat- soa. The 9th regiment of light infantry, with General Walin at its head, were on this side. The General ordered three cannon shots to be fired on this body : fifteen of them were killed or wounded. Among, the former are four French Officers, or persons who had fled from justice. The troops wished to cross the river 011 foot, and to piirsue the enemy, who immediately fled. u The army marches in three divisions— one upon Tolosa, direct for Madrid ; one upon Pampe- hina; and another upon St. Sebastian. " The regiment Alexander, in garrison at I run, evacuated that town on the approach of the army." The proclamation issued bv the Due d'Angou- Ifeme, on entering Sp& in at the head of the Freach Army, will be found in our 4th page. The Gazette contains a notice from the Lord Chamberlain's Office, that the King will hold a Levee at Carl ton- house on Monday, the 21st inst.; and that a Drawing Room will be held at Bucking- ham Palace on Wednesday, the 23d, to celebrate his Majesty's birth- day. A fire lately took place at Constantinople, in which many thousand houses were burnt. IT is supposed the Janissaries were concerned in the event. We regret to state that the Irish Papers have for sortie time. past contained lamentable details of outrages committed in various parts of that king- dom. ROBBF. RY OF THE DERRY MAIL.— From the Dublin . Patriot of Thursday .— On Tuesday night, at eleven o'clock, the Londonderry down mail was stopped by a numerous and desperate, gang of villains . near Gormanstown. They had blocked up . the road with cart's, - drays-, gates, - which they took from the premises of a man named M'Kenna, residing near the. spot. On the arri val of the coach, the driver, perceiving some obstruction, whipped the horses and succeeded in getting through the barriers, when a discharge of fire arms killed one of the leading horses and also one of the guards ; two balls passed through the hat of Mr; VBrooks, of Drogheda., butcher, who was an outside passenger, which carried •" fhe'tresh Off his head and left the scalp bare, Resistance was, now fruitless, and the robbers proceeded to rifle the coach; in tlie confu- . sion of the moment, Mr. Brooks escaped into a field} where he lay concealed for a considerable time, aud by that means saved what property he had about him. Two ladies, who were the only inside passengers, lost every thing they had with tliein. Theiockers were broken. open with sledges, with which they had provided themselves at a ~~~ ifbbouriug smith's forge, and what property they contained, together with the mail bags, taken away ; a few of the latter and s^ rne parcels Were afterwards found on tbe road. The place where the coach was stopped is near the spot where the Belfast mail was attacked and robbed in January last. The body of the unfortunate guard was re- moved to M'Kenna's house until an inquest shall be held. ATT F M PT K D A SS ASS 1N ATI ON .— As Sir Charles Batnfylde, Bart, was passing along- Montague- square, about half- past four 011 Monday afternoon,, lie was shot at by a man, who immediately drawing another pistol from his pocket, placed the muzzle in his mouth, and blew the upper part of his head A way. The ball entered Sir Charles's side, but the wound is hoped not to be mortal. He was able to walk home, stemming the blood with his handker- ehief. Tlt appears that Sir Charles had had in his service as housekeeper^ during the last eight years, the, wife of the assassin, whose name is Joseph Mori and. He has often been troublesome to Sir Charles, and so frequently called at the house and created disturbance, that the servants were ordered to refuse him admittance in future.~ Oii Tuesday all inquest was held on the body of Morland, iti the course of which, one of the witnesses stated that he understood from the deceasedythat he was convinced a criminal connection had been carried 011 for sortie years between Sir Charles and his wife. On Sun- day he appeared to be in a low desponding way, and observed he had procured a situation, but if an indictment which was pending against him for ail assault, went against him, lie should be ruined. He informed witness he had called on Sir Charles, who had refused-. to see him ; and he left witness, saying be was going to procure money for a subpoena and counsel ; he appeared very wild in his looks. The nature of the quarrel which led to the indictment, as he received it from the deceased, was, a cask of ale had been brought from Sir Charles's country house, and the deceased being anxious to partake of its contents, vyas- resisted by Chinerv, the butler, and Phillips, the footuian, in which it appears they had the best of it.— The Jury returned a verdict of felo- de- se. DKEADFUL MURDER— OnTuesday night Clap- ham was thrown into the greatest state of alarm, in consequence of a murder committed on Mrs. Richards, a widow lady, between 70 and 80 years of age^ which, in atrocity, equals thai of Mrs. Donatty. Mrs. Rich- ards lived on her income, and was supposed to have some valuable property in her house; she had only one female domestic, who happened to be out, and 011 her return, in the evening, found her unfortunate mistress lying dead on the floor, her head dreadfully fractured from blows she had received from a poker, . which lay near the body, and her mouth was stuffed with a handkerchief. The shocking deed must have been committed early in the evening, as the servant did' not go OHt until half past six, and returned at half past eight, at which time the act was committed. Every part of her dwelling was ransacked, aud several articles were missing. There was consider- able property iu the house up stairs, but it was left untouched, as no doubt the murderers had been dis- turbed iu their work of plunder.— The parish have offered a reward of 200guineas for the apprehension of the perpetrator or perpetrators of this horrid deed ; and a relative of the deceased has been taken into custody.

The most desirable London Weekly Newspaper for country readers is THE ENGLISHMAN, which is regularly published at the early hour of four o'clock, every Sunday morning, by Messrs. H. and W. Smith, No. 192, Strand, London. In THE ENGLISHMAN no advertisements whatever are in- serted. It. is ( with the single exception of the Monday's Edition of THE OBSERVER) the cheapest, the best, and the largest sized Weekly Newspaper published in London without advertisements. It consists of twenty folio columns, at the price of seven- penee. THE ENGLISHMAN can be forwarded by the Coaches that leave London early on Sunday mornings, and by the Mails which leave on Sunday evenings, so as to reach any Part of the Country on the blank post^ day-, for eight shillings and two- pence the quarter.

Holmes v. Reading.— SEDUCTION CASE.— Mr. Serjeant Vaughan stated that this was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr. Joseph Whiting Holmes, against, Mr. Daniel Reading, a young man 23 years of age, son pf a respectable tradesman atCuhbington, near Kehilworth, and who has very considerable ex- pectations, to recover from him a compensation in damages for the seduction of his daughter. The Learned Counsel observed that ( he present was a case of 1 he most Calni, cruel, and deliberate sedaction of a female but 17 years of age; and he was sorry to add, that after the defendant had basely effected her seduction, at a time when she and her friends, and also his friends,, knew thai they were plighted to- gether, and were iti expectation of their soon becom- ing ti'iahand wife, he wickedly proposed to her to commit the crime of taking drugs of a particular description, to destroy the child of which she was by him unfortunately pregnant, hut, though repeat- edly pressed, upon her, she firmly refused to do so. The case'as stpted was afterwards proved in evidence by the, unfortunate female herself, and by her sister, a'Mrs Johnson, residing at Keni! worth. Mr. pen- man addressed the Jury 011 behalf of the defendant, and his Lordship having . summed up, a verdict was given for tlie plaintiff with £ 200 damages. On Saturday morning, Thomas Bock, late an engraver of Birmingham, and a young woman, named Mary Day Underbill, Were brought to the bar, charged with administering decoctions of cer tain herbs to Ann Yaies, with the intent to cause miscarriage, contrary to the statute. The first witness, Ann Yates, a respectable looking girl, stated herself to be the danghthr of a tradesman living at Ashted and was about 19 years of age ; that she became ac quainted with the prisoner Bock about two years since ; that she was prevailed upon by him and the female prisoner to leave her father's house ; that she was fetched back by her parents, but that the prisoner Underbill again persuaded her to leave home, and ultimately took lodgings for her, to which she re- moved, and Bock soon after effected her seduction. Finding her to be pregnant by him, he told her she must take something to induce miscarriage, and at the instance of the female prisoner she took an in- fusion, which however had 110 effect: upon her. Bock afterwards procured another herb, which was boiled, and she took strong doses of it in presence of both prisoners. This also took no effect, aud she was de- livered of a child in October last, which is still living— The woman with whom the witness lodged was next examined and proved the taking of the room by Underbill, and the visits of the prisoner Bock. The father of the young woman was also examined in confirmation of the former part of bis daughter's testimony,— The Learned Judge then ad- dressed the Jury upon the law of the case, and after a few initiates' deliberation, they returned a verdict of guilty against both prisoners.— In passing the sentence of fourteen years' 1 transportation upon ' them, his Lordship remarked, that he had never tried a more wicked and' malignant case. In addressing himself to Bock, his Lordship alluded to the arts he had practised in seducing the poor girl from the house of her parents to gratify his wicked inclina- tions, and forcibly remarked on the enormity of his offence, standing in the relation he did as the father of four children, some of whom were daughters. He considered his crime also to be aggravated by the instruction lie had given Counsel, to endeavour to defame the poor creature lie had thus cruelly used, by insinuating that she was a common slreei- walker. His Lordship also alluded in terms of just severity to the disgusting Situation in which the female prisoner stood, and observed, that had they been capitally convicted, lie should have considered it his duty not to lecommrnd them as objects of clemency, and must have left tliem to their fate, WARWICK ASSIZES. BENSON v. WHILEY.—' The plaintiff in this case is an attorney at Birmingham, and the defend ant a . fanner at Old bury, in the county of Salop r- ln consequence of repeated quarrels between Mr. Whiley and his wife, he at length drove her j ftom the house, and afterwards refused to provide! for. lier subsistence.

FOREIGN RELATIONS. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, pursuant to notice, pro- ceeded to lay certain Papers before the House, in reference to the negociations which had beeh re- cently carried on by this country with the Allied Powers, in regard to Spain. His Lordship then detailed the various endeavours used by the English Government generally, and by the Duke of Wel- lington in person at the Congress of Verona, to avert the war between France and Spain. Having gone through this detail, his Lordship said, he novy came to the important part- of our policy, which from the beginning, and in every stage, had been always that of neutrality. That had been always and distinctly understood by Spain ; and whatever had been done, and whenever she thought our mediation necessary, it was always under that view, that if it should be unsuccessful, we were still to be in a state of] neutrality. He wo* hld here repeat what he had said upon f rmer occasions, that if the honour or interest of the country should require war, he wouid have 110 difficulty in finding the means of carrying it on. But after a war of unexampled duration and calamity, and when we found our commerce and manufactures flourishing in a way which they had never done before, and our agriculture recovering- from its depression, it would not have been politic to throw these advantages into the hands of other nations. Besides, if we embark in u. war, it must be as before, the whole weight of it would fall Upon our shoulders, and a war in Spain is four times more expensive than one in any other country in Europe. After some further observations, the Noble Lord concluded by laying the papers on the table.

The Reverend and Worshipful JAMES THOMAS LAW, Clerk, M. A. Chancellor of this Diocese, will hold his Probat Court at NEWPORT, in the County of Salop, on Wednesday, the 23d, and at SALOP, on Thursday, the 24th Days of Apri' next: where Persons who have Wills to prpve, Letters of Administrations or Licences to take put, must attend.

The Commissioners of Stamps require Copies of all Wills and Grants of Administrations to be sent to them by the Registrar within Two Months after they are proved or granted ; and the original Affidavits are also required by the last Act of Parliament to be sent therewith. ROBERT MITCHELL, Sworn Apparitor Lichfield, March 27M, 1823. received a letter from her,, in which she expressed a desire to see him. That lie was absent from bis own house at Bramhall froni half- past six on the night of the 2lst March, until ten the next morning, in which interval the murder was committed. That he was seen on the evening of the 21st March, by two witnesses, on the way leading from his own house to that of Mr. Murrey, at Bredbury, with whom deceased lived as a servant. That, for a considerable time in the latter part of the evening of the 21st March, the deceased was not in her blaster's house, and had requested a fellow- servant not to make the door against her. That the murder was committed with razor, which was found near the deceased, and which more than one witness who had; lived with prisoner stated they believed to be his property. That,, early in the morning- of the 22d, the prisoner was seen coming towards his own house, in a direction from the place where deceased was murdered ; ancl that, observing- he was seen, he precipitately fled in a contrary direction from the one in which lie was seen advancing. That all the accounts g- iven by the prisoner, before the Coroner and elsewhere, as to how and where he had passed the night in question, were false. And that the clothes which he wore on that night, had been made away, and never since been seen.— The case having been gone through, the Jury retired for about twenty minutes, and then returned a verdict of GUILTY.— He was immediately sentenced to be executed on Monday, and given to the surgeons for dissection.— The whole chain of circumstances adduced in evidence, coupled with other facts generally known as to the prisoner's conduct, left no doubt in the mind of any person in the Court as to the prisoner's guilt. During1 the whole . of the trial, he appeared un- moved; when the instrument by which she met her death was produced; when the statements of her mangled corpse being found covered with blood— of her throat bein « - cut— and of her hands having been cut, apparently as if done when up- lifting them for mercy or to avert cruelty— were made, he moved not a muscle ; nor did he appear affected when the sentence was pronounced. From the moment of his arrival in gaol to that of his death, he never asserted his innocence; nor, to the instant of his dissolution, did lie ever confess his guilt! No doubt is entertained as to bis guilt, but it has been intimated, that some of his friends, from a mistaken notion that a confession of his guilt would cast a reproach upon them, had requested him not to confess; and when urged to do it, after condemnation, by some persons who visited him, he merely said, " I have confessed to God." He Was executed about one o'clock on Monday. It appears that, at the time he committed the murder, he had not only promised to marry the deceased, but was actually asked in ehureh to another voung woman, who was also pregnant by him ! lie was a remarkably handsome man, 24 years of age, of very respectable connexions ; was the youngest of 11 children ; aud was tenant to Mr. Davenport. Several persons came forward on his trial, and gave him an excellent character. The unfortunate deceased was a respectable farmer's daughter, and had a child about four years ago by the prisoner, which child is still living* The prisoner put on a suit of old clothes previous to his execution, and ascended the scaffold without the slightest trepidation, WALEST { Cy* CAMBRIAN SKETCHES.— We have much pleasure in referring- to No. 6 of these interesting- communications, in our 4th page. , MARRIED.

" Wily," asked Mr. Justice Best) " did be get credit for this miserable bankrupt? For his own benefit. To use a phrase with which the Jury were well acquainted, the bankrupt " robbed Pete'r to pay Paul. When defendant wanted security tbe writing of Denholm was good enough-- but when be wanted him to give extensive orders, a school- master was resorted to iu order that the Ictteis might have a more business- like hand, or " a hand proper lo ap » pear before gentlemen." " A very small quantity of tbe slates had got into Denholm's possession— Jones kept nearly all of them, as was proved even by his own witnesses. This gross dishonesty is proveil by them,& the bankrupt is made his instrument. Did not such proceedings make the scale kick the beam ? What- ever might be thought of Denholm, Jones was not— could not he considered— an honest man. Tbe ba- lance of evidence uas most strongly in favour of the plaintiff'." His lordship concluded by telling tbe Jury, if they wished, he was quite ready to read the whole mass of evidence that had been offered io the seven hours which tbe cause had occupied. The Jury signified they did not wish again lo hear the evidence. After a few minutes' consultation they returned a verdict for tbe plaintiff— Damages £ 027 9s. 4d.; and that Denholm expected Jones would pay the hills when they became due.

FLINTSHIRE BANK.— The conviction, at Ches- ter and Lancaster, of several persons who bad been traversing the country uttering forged notes of the bank of Messrs. Sankey and Co. of Holywell, was noticed in obr last. At the Chester County Assizes, last week) two more of the same gang, named John Small and Archibald McAllister, were also con- victed.— It may be proper to observe that the forged notes of the Holywell Rank issued by the prisoners are all dated in 1822, in which year Messrs Sankey issued no new notes.— It is under- gang had organized a system for issuing forged notes on other banks, and that several plates vvere actually engraved ; but it is hoped the conviction of these parties will put a stop to this nefarious business. On Friday last, a County Meeting took place at Brecon, when a Petition to Parliament for the Relief of Agriculture was adopted. GLOUCESTER ASSIZES.— Turner v. Jones.— Plaintiff' was a partner in a considerable slate quarry in North Waifs, and defendant, ( their servant) for some years had practised what the Counsel termed a scandalous fraud— a fraud that had been seldom sur- passed in profligacy, never in invention— It appear- ed that A. Denholm, a working slater of Cheltenham, but now a bankrupt, had been indebted io Jones, and agreed to pay him £ 1 per week, and had done so to the amount of £ 21; when, finding he was insolvent, Jones dictated some letters which he made Denholm cause to he copied by C. Walter, a schoolmaster of Cheltenham, as D.' s writing " was not good enough to go before a gentleman." In these letters, addres- sed to Messrs. Turner, he ordered large quantities of slate ; Jones agreeing to pay the freight and duties, and to assist in paying for the slates when due Two cargoes were landed at Bristol, which de- fendant kept, sending only a few tO. Cheltenham. In a short time after, Jones came again to Cheltenham, went to Walter with Denholm, whom he persuaded to order four cargoes of slates, and draw a bill on Esdaile and Co. London, at three months, dated June 1, 1822, although he knew Denholm had no effects at any bank. Denholm was promised as many slates as he could work. Defendant agtriu came to Cheltenham, and obtained from Denholm a receipt for £ 534 he never paid him, threatened, if he refused, to put a judgment bond ( previously obtained) in ex ecution, and ruin him off the face of the earth. He wished Denholm to go to Scotland, and he would give him £ 280. He afterwards made him send another order for a large quantity of slates, to be sent to Newport and Cardiff, where Denholm was a stranger, and drew the bill on Esdaile and Co. for £ 400, which, as well as the former, was returned unaccepted. The last order would have amounted HOLYHEAD ROAD. The Aniiual Report of Ihe Commissioners has just been published. Mr. Provis, in his Report to ihe Commissioners, dated 25th February, 1823, says— GENTLEMEN, Since I last had the honour of reporting to you 011 the general state of the Road, I have continued to act on the same system of repair and improve- ment which was first adopted ; aud the great and progressive amendment of all the old parts of tbe lioad are sufficient evidence of its propriety. It is now near four years since the old Road was placed under your control ; and the change that has been effected during that period, has essentially contributed to facilitate the intercourse betweeil Holyhead and Shrewsbury. The surface now has all been brought to a tolerably smooth and sound state; sundry hills have been cut down, hollows filled up, dangerous places protected, narrow parts widened, and the drainage nearly completed. The most important occurrence of the past year, as it regards our expenditure, has been the transfer to your care of the new Roads made by direction of the Commissioners, under the Act of 55th Geo. Ill. Iu April last I received a letter from Thomas Telford, Esquire, dated March 30th, 1822, directing me to make the necessary arrangements for making possession of that portion of the Anglesey new Road, which extends from the fifth mile- stone" from Holy- head to near Bangor Ferry; aud also of all those detached portions which liad been made between Bangor Ferry aud Chirk ; as the charge of their future maintenance must from that time rest upon you. In consequence of these directions, I made the necessary preparations, and ou the 20th of April I took possession of all tbe new Road which had then been opened to the public, between Bangor Ferry and Chirk, amounting to 42 miles ; and on the 12th of May, of the above- mentioned portion of 18 miles of the Anglesey Itoad, which was that day opened for public intercourse. It will naturally be concluded that the expense of maintaining60 miles more Road than I had at first calculated upon, would produce some little derange- ment of iny plans; particularly as the Anglesey Road produced scarcely any revenue for the two or three first months after it was opened to the public, whilst a full establishment of men was necessarily kept up, and considerable sums expended in the purchase of new tools and utensils. These tem- porary difficulties, however, are now nearly at an end ; for all the improvements that were then on hand have been finished, with the exception of low- ering tbe lull near Great Ness; and all the work that has been done has been paid for, with the ex- ception of the new piece of Road across the bog N. w. of Cerig- y- druidion. I should have sus- pended th is last, work, but that the Contractor pre- ferred finishing his job, and waiting for his money till it was convenient for us to pay it. The amount of expenditure shows that a part Of the expense of this work has been paid, and the remainder will be cleared oft'during the current half year. Mr. Provis then details the various works that have been performed on the districts from Holy- head to Shrewsbury; from these details the follow- ing is an extract : CHIRK TO SHREWSBURY, 23 Miles. From Chirk Bridge to Gobowen, but little has been done during the last year, besides what was absolutely necessary to keep it ina travellable state; because as there is a probability that a new Road may be made between those points which will avoid all the hills and bends of the existing Ropd, I considered it most advisable to go to as little ex- pense as possible whilst the subject is under con- sideration. Between Gobowen and Oswestry, two narrow places in the Road have been widened; the first, on the s. w. side, near Gobowen, and the second on the N E. side at Pentrewern. At the latter, a stone wall has been built to protect the garden, a part of which was cut away. A little north of Old Port, two banks have been cut down, and the Roadw- ay brought to a proper shape and re- metalled. The whole surface of this portion of the Road has been much improved, and is now in fair order. At the north entrance to Oswestry, some side drains have been formed and paved. From Oswestry to the Queen's Head, a consider- able length of the Road has been stocked up, the stones broken and laid down again in a proper man- ner. More of this operation is required, and will be commenced when the weather will permit. From the Queen's Head to the hill near Great Ness, the Road has been stocked up, and re- formed in various places, and a general improvement of the surface has been effected. Some of the weak places on Sandford and Knockin Heaths were in- jured by the late frost, and it will take some time and a considerable expense to prevent a recurrence during- bad weather. The widening of the Road at the hill near Great Ness, has been performed, but the hill has not yet been lowered, from a want of sufficient funds. As far as we have done we have paid for, and supposing it to remain as it is, it would be a considerable im- provement ; I trust, however, nothing will occur to prevent its being completed this summer. For a considerable distance from this hill, the j deep ditches and low sides have been raised with | the rock rubbish, from where the Road over the hill j was widened ; and this expense should be deducted j from the cutting4own and widening the hill, were ; it possible to separate them correctly. This ex- plamition may, however, be sufficient for the Com- missioners' information. From hence to Montford Bridge, a gradual im- provement of the surface has been made, and though the Road is in general much too narrow and shaded, it has been kept in a good state, by putting on plenty of hard well- broken field stones. The only new work which h; s been performed between Afontford Bridge and Shrewsbury, is the completion of the improvement at the Monk Eye Prill, which is now a respectable piece of new Road, From Montford Bridge to this new piece, the Road, owing to its weakness, has been a good deal injured bv the late severe frosts. From the new piece at Monk Eye Prill to Shrewsbury, the Road is sound and hard, but in other respects is nearly as bad as it can be. Time I trust will enable us to make even this part respectable, but as we have already expended on the Shropshire part of the Road £ 5,463, Us. 2d. whilst the net revenue from the tolls has been only £ 3,963. lis. 8d. I trnst it will appear that the interests of the inhabit- ants on this part of the Holyhead Road, have not been injured by transferring the Road to your management. As the only place at this end of the Road where good gravel ean be procured, is near the river side, below Shelton, the whole of that field has been purchased, and materials thereby secured for the future maintenance of the Road. At the conclusion of his Report, Mr. Provis says— 44The only observation 1 have now to add is, that all the new road through Wales having been made upon a well formed paved foundation, has not been the least injured by the late two months' frost and snow ; whilst those unpaved portions of the road in Shropshire, which rest upon a springy or clayey substratum, have in several instances been heaved up by the frost, and completely de- stroyed."

" When the art of writin whether by means of letters or symbols, was first cultivated among men, ( and this happened in a very early age of the world,) there can be no doubt, that such events, as related to particular families, were the first subjects that they recorded. Wars, with all their frightful train of evils, had, as yet, made no inroads on the peace of society ; and men, having neither heroes to celebrate nor deeds of blood to rehearse, became the humble chroniclers of their own peaceful actions or of those of their ancestors. To this source must lie ascribed the minuteness, with which we find several private occurrences of the patriarchal ages, and especially'their pedigrees, recorded by Moses. And hence it was too that the Jewish nation, true to the manners of their primitive founders, retained, to the latest period, a record of the descent of their principal families, as may be particularly observed in their accurate arrangement of the Twelve Tribes.* But, indeed, from the genealogy of Noah down to that of our Saviour, the Scriptures afford abundant proof of this national peculiarity. Nor was an addiction to genealogical pursuits confined, of old, to the Jews alone. The Pbarnicians likewise, a people of very ancient origin, are known to have had particular respect for this species of knowledge. It may, therefore, very reasonably be regarded, where it has long prevailed, as one of the strongest proofs of the antiquity, or, indeed, 1 may say,, of the primitive character of a nation. How long this branch of learning may have been cultivated among the Welsh it cannot be now possible to ascertain ; but the most ancient records prove it lo have been cherished from times of remote antiquity. A chronicle of kings, nearly one hundred in'number, said to have reigned iu this island from the period of its first colonization down to the time ol Cadw4ladr, f is still extant. But I do not vouch for its uniform authenticity, although its accuracy, to a- partial extent, may be sufficiently proved, ' there can be no doubt, how- ever, that genealogy was particularly studied in Britain during the first centuries of the Christian era. The registering of the chief families was, at that time, entrusted to the bards, or at least to a certain class of them, who were, In consequence, styled anoyddveirdd,, or heralds. The sanu; occu- pation was also assigned to the ovyddioti. or pupils of the Bardic Institution, during the three years of probation, tliat preceded their admission to the higher orders of Bardism. In process of time, and after the Ancient Britons were confined to the territory of Wales, the bardic genealogists were taken under the patronage ofthe Welsh princes. Aud, during the period that elapsed between the ninth and twelfth centuries, the families of Wales were, by their authority, classed into twenty tribes, five, of which were styled royal aud the remaining fifteen noble; aud from these most of the principal Welsh families of the present day are able, either lineally or colla- terally, to trace their descent. The heads of tiie Royai Tribes are, according to their priority of rank, Grutf'vdd ah Cvnan, Prince of North Wales, 1075, Rhvs'ab Tewdwr, Prince of South Wales, 1077, Bletldyu ah Cynvyn, Prince of North Wales, 1068, lestyu abGwrgwnt, Lord of Glamorgan, 1088, and Athelstan Glodrydd, a petty prince of South Wales, during the- middle of the tenth century . J The Fifteen Noble Tribes, whose names it might be tedious to enumerate, were confined to North Wales, and were denominated Y Pymtheg LLwyth Gwtnedd. The genealogical pursuits of the bards were con- tinued down to the reign of Elizabeth, aud a few of their lucubrations are still extant. There are likewise several private records relating to parti- cular families, which pretend to a far higher anti- quity than the foundations ofthe tribes. _ Amongst these, one of the" most worthy of notice is tile pedigree of the house of Mostyn in Flintshire, still preserved in that family, and which sets out at once with Adam ; and there is also in existence a book, which . modestly traces most of the Welsh gentry to the same source. § Such productions as these may have served, and justly enough, to attach a certain degree of ridicule and suspicion to Welsh pedigrees iu general; but the few facts, to which I have adverted, must tend to prove, that the natives ofthe Principality have really possessed peculiar advantages for preserving their family histories. And, independently of the privileges and institutional character, with which the profes- sion of genealogy was formerly invested, it may he farther noticed, that the custom, so long retained by the Welsh, of uniting the names of their ances- tors,. for several degrees, with their own, must also have contributed materially to keep a record of their descent unimpaired : nor has a very long period elapsed since the final abolition of this practice. 1| I shall conclude this SKETCH with a curious pedigree of his present Majesty, not, I believe, verv a- enerally known, which I have extracted - - '' • " " ' '•' -' - " It has all from Sir. Yorke's Royal Tribes, the appearance of authenticity, and makes His Majesty, ns will be seen, right heir, in direct succession ( the Calholic line of course excluded), to the British, Cambro- British, English, and Scot- tish kings.

HEREFORD ASSIZES. SEV- ERS V. JOKFS: and JoNrs v. SEVERN.—' These weie actions, directed by the Court of Chancery, to try certain cross issues between the parties, and the Counsel on both sides agreed that ihe two actions should be tried together. The plaintiff in the first case was John C. Severn, Esq. of Penybont Hall, Radnorshire, and Ihe defendant was Mr. Thomas Jones, of Oxhall, in the same comity. The parties, il appears, Imve for a number .. f years been litigat- ing a suit in Chancery, as to the right lo three several estates, ill tlie county of Radnor, viz. :-— Bryusadwn, which is said to he worth £ 3000, and two small places called BrynfTii and Caregninon, of the value of between two and three hundred pounds. Thwe estates formerly belonged to T. Price, Esq. a banker, at Penybont, whose daughter Mr. Severn, the plaintiff, married. Mr. Price, it was alleged, sold the estates to Mr. T. Jones, of Oxliall ( the father of the present defendant), for Ihe following sums: Brynsiidwn fur 1000 guineas, and the other two places for £ 220. Il appeared that before- Mr. Price died, Mr. Junes, Ihe father of the defendant, had possession of all the three estates, and received the rents as owner from ihe tenants ; and Mr. Price ( with whom he had had great dealings) left htm joint executor, with two persons, named How en and Williams, and also trustee to his daughter. Miss Price. The plaintiff, some time after his mar- riage, alleged that old Mr. Jones bail unlawfully possessed himself of the three estates, al the death of Mr. Price, and filed a bill of discovery iu Chancery, which was succeeded Ivy other proceedings, and ultimately lie got possession of the estates hy in- demnifying the tenants, ll was admitted that old Mr. JoiiPs had paid Mr. Piice£ l000 for Brynsadwn; but contended, lhat us Price could not give a good title to the estates, to Jones, after some years had elapsed and just before Price's death, Price returned the £ 1000 to Jones ; and tlie plaintiff also contended, that although an agreement was drawn up between Price anil Jones, for tlie purchase of Brynfin and Caregninon, yet it never was executed, and the money was never paid by Jones lo Price. The issues to he tried were— 1. Did Jones pay. to Price one thousand, guineas for Brynsadwn ?— 2. Did Price re turn Jones the one thousand guineas?— 3. Was the contract for lite sale of Bryn* adwn hy Price to Jones existing al Price's death? Ttie other issues were of a similar kind, except that tbev related lo the oilier two estates. These trials lasted from nine o'clock on Friday morning, till eleven, o'clock on Saturday night, when the jury returned their verdict at the Judge's lodgings. The evidence, oral and docu- mentary, was very extensive. It was clearly proved that Jones's father bad paid £ 1000 for Brynsadwn, and there was no satisfactory evidence to show that it had ever bepn returned, except the testimony of a Re>\ Mr, Jones, who swore tlint Price told him a few days before he died thai he bad returned the money to Joucs, ami also that a few days after Price's death, Jonesadmilted lo him lhat he had received the £ 1000 back from Price. Nine respectable witnesses came forward and swore that this witness was not to be believed on his oath, and on ihe other side eleven witnesses swore . that they would believe. Two receipts of tlie tenants nf these estates, given after Price's death by Jones " as executor" to old Mr. Price, were produced on Ihe part of llie plaintiff, to 8lloW that olo Jones could not be the owner of the estates, or ihe receipts he gave would not have been S'iven hy liiiu as " executor," but as " landlord." The tenants who were stated to have received these receipts came forward, and on examining the ill they swore tiie documents produced were not tlie receipts they gave up, for those receipts were on stamps, w hereas those produced were on blank puper. The witnesses also swore the receipts had not Ihe words " executor to Mr. Price" in the body of thein. Mr. Price's book of accounts was produced in evidence, and from thill it appeared that lie never had received rent for Brynsadwn estate for a number of years, during which time Jones appeared to be the laud, lord, and as there was not any account in the book of tlie £ 1000 being returned, the Judge held it a fair presumption that the money never had been paid back to Jones; but left it to ibe Jury lo say if Jones bad ever paid the £ 220 for the other two estates, and that did uot appear very clear. Mr. Jervis, ou the part of Jones, said, that the issues the Jury find to try were very momentous, for on one side or the other there existed conduct reprehensible in the extreme. Mr. Pullen replied, and charged old Jones with defrauding bis charge, Miss Price, of the estates, and delivered a high eulogiuui upon Mr. Severn, as a gentleman aud a man of honour. The Judge, after some observations, said the weightof Ihe evidence was in favour of Mr. Joues in his opinion, but Ibe Jury would decide. The Jury were two hours considering their verdict, and returned it in favour of Jones on six issues ; but they did uot find that old Jones had paid the £ 220 for Brynfin and Careguinou. This verdict puts Jones into possession of Brynsadwn ( of which be litis been dispossessed 11 years), and fie will recover ihe rent for that time, and, upon payment of £ 220, w ill also have the Bryiifin and Careguinou estates.

They were ali executed on Saturday last ; and Harvey, who had livril so many years in the family, was obliged to be supported ill a chair until the final execution of his sentence. FATAL PUGILISM.— A pugilistic contest took place ou the race hill at Brighton, on Friday after- noon, in the presence of a numerous crowd of spectators, between a person named Daun, a brick- layer, and one Smith, a sawyer; the latter of whom received a tremendous blow under the left car, in consequence of which he was conveyed from the ground iu a state of insensibility, and expired at about four o'clock on Sunday morning. Dunn was immediately taken into custody. Spring, the boxer, who was at Brighton for training purposes, and Shelton, as they seemed busy in the ring, have undergone examinations before Sir David Scott, Bail. They are held iu a recognizance of £ 100 each to keep the peace for one year, and a surety on both sides in a moiety of that sun* must he found before they regain their liberty. This, it is supposed, will prevent the contest between Spring and Neate, which was shortly intended to take place. A man, na'ned William Frieburg, was killed at Hammersmith, on Tuesday, by a blow received under his ear . villiI.' fighting. Parliamentary Reform. SELECT VESTRIES.— It appears from the Re- port of a Committee of the House of Commons in July 1822, that iu England and Wales there were 2,145 select vestries and 1,979 assistant overseers appointed under Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act; and that in Lancashire there were 126 select vestries and 1) 9 assistant overseers. This Report contains many valuable observations of Parish Officers, which have been extracted by the Committee from Ihe Parish Returns, recommending the adoption ot Select Ves- tries. One. Parish stales that " Parochial business is very much retarded hy the frequent change of overseers : that the office ought to fie more perma- nent : the overseer has not time to become acquaint- ed with his duties ; and it frequently happens that the office has continued for years in the bands of a succession of novices, by whose insufficiency Parishes are often plunged into superfluous expenses and use- less litigations." The appointment of a Select Vestry in Liverpool has so much reduced the Parish expenditure, that a large part of the rale of last year remains uncoi. lecled; in consequence of which the Churchwardens have declined to propose any rate at present. CAUTION.— A lady residing at Plymouth, hav- ing occasion to execute a Power of Attorney for the sale uf Bank Stock, contrary to her usual practice, afiixed only the initials of her christian names instead of writing them in words. Irregu- larity of form was deemed a sufficient reason for returning it to her for correction : ad interim, the reduction of dividends upon stock was announced, which produced such a change ill that particular stock as will, in all probability, occasion an ulti- male loss to the lady of more than £ 4000. HORRIBLE CRUELTY. A fellow, named Thomas Penton, was convicted at Bow street, on Wednesday, of having torn out the tongue of a horse belonging to his master, who is a market- gardener. Not being able to pay the penalty of £ 5, he was committed to three months' hard labour at the tread- mill. There was an earthquake on the 5th ultimo, at Palermo, in Sicily : a number of houses and churches were destroyed, 21 pcrsous killed, and 135 wounded. THE ARMY.— The 72d regiment of Foot has received orders to embark for Guernsey and Jersey on the 25th instant, for the purpose of relieving the 12th regiment, which is ordered to Sheerness. — The 40tii regiment is now oil its march from Liverpool to Chatham, for the purpose of being sent in detachments as guards ou board the convict ships, which are destined for New South Wales.— The 13th Foot, which embarked for India sonic time hack, is to replace the 7th regiment.— The 65th regiment of Infantry, which lately arrived in England from India, has been replaced by the20th Foot from St. Helena.— A detachment of the 24th Foot has arrived at Plymouth from Calcutta, and is ordered to Portsmouth, where the remainder of that corps is to he collected, ou its arrival in Eng- land from India. FREEMASONRY.— Ou the 22d ultimo, an event occurred which may possibly be considered forming an epoch in the annals of this benevolent fraternity, and which, at all events, we are very glad to notice, as ail instance of Royal conde- scension highly gratifying to those on whom it was bestowed. Mis present Majesty had, many years ago, established iu his household a Lodge, called " The Prince of Wales's Lodge," of which lie and his Royal brothers, the Dukes of York and Clarence, condescended to hold Ihe chief offices. But this being incompatible with the Kingly dignity, the Members of ( he Lodge, on his Ma- jesty's accession, petitioned for and obtained Ihe consent of his Royal Highness the Duke of York to become their Master, who added to the honour of this patronage, the further unusual distinction of being installed into, aud performing the duties of the chair iu person. The ceremony of his Royal Highness's installation, postponed hy his recent illness, look place at the Thatched IIousc Tavern, in St. James's Street, on the 22d nit. on which occasion a splendid dinner was given by tiie brethren of the Lodge. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, as Grand Master of the Order, attended by General Sir John Doyle, the Deputy Grand Master, and by many Provincial Grand Masters, and nearly all the Grand Officers and Masonic talent in the Metropolis, performed the usual ceremonies in person, aud with such a degree of attention to the illustrious candidate, as rendered the splendid scene most deeply interesting to the brethren present. Extract of a letter from Rome, dated March 10 : —" 1 have been here above two months, aud never saw such weather in England as we have had here during lhat time; we have occasionally a fine day, and then the sun is hot beyond bearing ; about four o'clock Ihe dew, or what is commonly called the yellow fog, falls sufficient to make all Ihe streets quite wet and uncomfortable; without great care, it is sure to give cold and inflammation. We have had six or seven days constant rain, then a fine ( lay, then constant rain again for a week or more. Most of tlie English have been very un- healthy, and a number have died; among the number we have to regret the late Mr. Portniau, M. P. for Dorsetshire, who never had a day's illness in his life till he arrived in Rome. Most of the English, if not actually unwell, appear from ten lo twenty years older than when they arrived in I his eternal city;" and I am very much afraid that most of the young ladies will repent having made an excursion this side the Alps, as it does not add any thing to their natural beamy; but, on the contrary, that healthy fine English complexion is, in the course of a very few months, turned into the Italian cream colour, with sul- phuric tint, and no small share of wrinkles, & c. & c. ' I'he climate of Italy must have changed very much ill the course of Ihe last twenty years, and certainly not for the better. Now, whenever any one is laken ill there, and is fortunate enough to be convalescent, the English medical men, one and ail, recommend immediate returning to Eng- land. You have no idea of the number of English residents in Italy that were attacked with a liver complaint last summer. 1 am acquainted with one family of six persons, three of which were obliged to leave for England last autumn by reason of that complaint. We have also here very often the Sirocco, or south- east wind, which brings ill its train from Africa all sorts of disease, and requires from strangers Ihe greatest care as to clothing, exercise, and living," TAX ON OLD BACHELORS. A Bill having been brought into the House of Legislature of New York, to lay a tax upon all bachelors above the age of twenty- eight, for the encouragement of literature among females, a meet- ing of upwards of two hundred old bachelors, and others approximating to that state, was held to take the measure into consideration. After a good deal of fine speaking, and many witty observations, the eldest bachelor in the room was called to the chair, when the following recital and resolutions were off'eiecl, and passed unanimously : 44 Whereas it appears by the pilblic. papers, thata Bill has been introduced into the legislature of this State to lay a tax upon bachelors, & c. In what manner the funds are to he applied, whether for the endowment of a seminary, in which old maids are to be employed a3 instructors, or whether to educate old maids iu some of the useful and polite branches of literature, that they may be enabled to get a living without a helpmate, is unknown to us, not having seen1 the said bill or its provisions; but whatever may be the provisions of the said Bill, we conceive it • unconstitutional to lay a specific lax upon old bache- lor^ and calculated to produce much mischief in the community; because it will drive from the Slate many good citizens who prefer a life of celibacy; it j wiH tend to increase bachelors, inasmuch as when J women find they can be maintained in a single state, i many will prefer that mode of life, and refuse all 1 offers of matrimony ; it will cause many hachelors to { conceal their ages, and thereby lead them to tell i untruths, which otherwise they woiib} never have j thought of; it will cause old maids to be ten times ! more intolerable than they usually are, by making i them independent of husbands for a livelihood ; it | will have the effect to destroy that exquisite sensi- | hil ity in men, who. having lost their sweethearts " by hook or by crook," have made pledge to do penance : all llie rest of their lives, by living in a single stale; it will lead many a man lo enter into the holy bands ; of wedlock, without being guided by lhat betwitch- ing and delectable passion, love ( so essentially necessary to connubial felicity), and hurry tlirni to ; marry, merely to save the fax, and consequently j produce many unhappy matches; for no marriage ! can be productive of happiness, without love. Love is a curious thing, yon know, It makes one feel, all over ... so.' " It will excite a retaliation on the part of bache- lors, and cause them lo use their influence lo gel a CONSUMPTION OF BEER. The Bill to Encourage the Consumption of Beer, as amended hy the Committee, has just been printed; it contains the following enactments:— 1st. That it is expedient to brew ale or beer in- termediate between slrong beer and table beer. 2d. Such beer mny be brewed 011 paying au excise duty 011 it of 5s. per barrel. 3d. Not less than five barrels of 36 gallons, ami not more than five aud a half, are to lie made from each quarter of malt, and the price of such, beer is not to exceed 28s. the barrel, or lOd. the gallon, as sold io large or small quantities. Any person charg- ing more than this price will subject himself lo a fine of £ 50. Any person making au entry 10 brew beer of this description, w ho shall brew porter, or beer of a greater or less strength, than above mentioned, or use any other ingredient than malt, yeast, and water, • hall be fined £ 200 for every offence. 4th. Persons brewing tliis beer are to take out licenses and be subject to the same regulations as other brewers. 5th. Brewers of this beer ore lo be allowed lo re- tail it on their premises, it not being, for consump- tion there ; but if they sell any oilier beer or ale on these premises, they will be subject to a line of £ 100 for every offence. 6th. Brewers of other beer may brew this beer, on taking out a license for Ibis purpose, provided they have no interest in any malt- making concern witliiis one quarter of a mile of the premises for making 1hi& i beer; and provided Ihey have 110 interest in any | oilier brewery within the distance of 200 yards from : these premises. Every transgression of this regu- lation subjects the offender lo be punished bv a fine of £ 200. 7th. Any person paying 21s. annually fora license, may be allowed to sell this beer, provided it is not sold for consumption on the premises, but this license will not give permission to sell any other beer or ale than this. 8lh. Any person selling this beer without having taken out a license, is to he fined for every such offence the sum of £ 50. 9th, 10th, and 11th.

Jane Denton.— The defendant in this case, was charged with the wilful murder- of her illegitimate female child, at Ponte- fract, and was committed into Custody under the Coroner's warrant. rIslie bill preferred against her was ignored by the Grand Jury, and Mr. Justice Holroyd, in remarking on the case, expressed, his decided opinion that the Record of the Inquisition was void, by being returned upon paper instead of parchment, and his Lordship thought it invalid in another respect, in being signed and scaled by the Coroner only, instead of the Coroner and Jury. The subject was introduced by an application made to the Court, by Mr. Taylor, for the prose- cutor's expenses, and the Court thinking it rea- sonable that they should be allowed, granted the motion; but ordered the inquisition to be quashed, and the prisoner to be discharged. A Meeting of the County of Lincoln took place 011 Wednesday to petition Parliament for Reform. Sir Robert lieron proposed a petition, on which Major Cartwright moved an amendment, on the ground that the original petition did not go far enough : he wished the reform asked to be distinctly stated to be universal suffrage aud election by ballot. The Major's amendment was rejected, and Sir R. Heron's carried. Few of the county gentle- men opposed to the sentiments of the petitioners attended the meeting. Sir Edward Ffrench Brom> head was, however, present, and, amidst much clamour and interruption from the populace assem- bled, persisted in delivering his opinions, to the following effect : It was not his intention to have addressed them that day, but having been personally alluded to by the Member for Boston, he would not evade the public expression of his sentiments. Of the two petitions which they had heard read, be preferred that of the venerable and worthy Major Cartwright it was the more honest and the more manly ; ant certainly if any thing was wrong in the representa- tion, or elsewhere, it ought to be radically reformed. He hoped, however, to satisfy them that the present constitution of Parliament did not admit of any materiai improvement. A party was now endea- vouring-' to take advantage of the popular feeling for reform, to serve their own purposes, and intro- duce a change far from favourable to the liberties of the country. They wished, to disfranchise the 8mailer boroughs, and increase the number of county members, or make some other alteration, which would extend the aristocratic influence, and have the effect of excluding from Parliament ail gentlemen of small property. Their present county members were very proper persons, but he did not wish to see the House of Commons exclusively filled with them : he wished to see a variety of persons of different stations. Some of the ablest and most independent Members had, at all times, been returned for the smaller boroughs ; it was an actual fact that the worthy Baronet himself who moved the petition, was so returned! Sir James Mac- kintosh, Mr. Tierney, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Ricardo, tlie very leaders of Opposition, were all thus returned ! and so were many more of the principal characters who adorned both sides of the House. The Reformers seemed to take for granted, that they were always right themselves, and that all who differed from them must be under the influence of gross ignorance or the basest corruption. They would admit no proof of the independence of any Parliament, but that it should always leave Minis- ters in minorities, and submit the direction of affairs to their own crude speculations. There were rea- sons why such minorities could not occur every day. Ministers, doubtless, well considered, what ques- tions they brought forward; they were not so insane as frequently to try questions on which they were likely to be defeated. Neither could they continue to be Ministers, unless the general course of their policy was approved of by a majority of Parliament, and the body of the nation. It was not true that Ministers had uniform majorities ; they were always outvoted when they were wrong-, and often when they were rig- ht.* They were defeated in their attempt to continue the Property Tax, and such he." hoped would ever be the case in peace time. But had they not seen the Admiralty Board deranged, to the injury of the public servicc, in spite of Ministers? Had they not seen the sordid and illiberal conduct of Parliament to the younger branches of the Royal Family, so offensive to the very person of the Sovereign himself? Col. Johnson had shewn them a book, lately published by some weak person of the party. It exposed their votes upon a variety of topics; and now that we saw them without the passions of the day, he must . say that those votes presented such a tissue of folly, unconstitutional principles, and want of com- mon honesty, as was never before exhibited to the disg- ust of the nation. [ Loud uproar here took place for some time, when Russell Collet, Esq. came forward, iiiid said, " Mv good friends, hear what they have got to say; give the Devil his due. 1'] Sir E. Broinhead thanked his radical friend, Mr. Collet, and must be contented to pro- ceed in the character;' assigned him; but certainly he would not be intimidated from uttering what he knew to be true. The same foolish book was quoted to show how many Members were under Crown influence ; but it was not added that they were now fewer than at any period of our history ; and that in the very last century the number was much more than double, and this before the Irish Union had added a hundred Members to the House. It was also a fact that the close Boroughs were never fewer than at present ^ increase of population and wealth had already greatly diminished the number, and others were daily bursting what Reformers would call their fetters. The House of Commons never was, and never was intended to be, a representation of mere physical force and num- bers ; it was a representation of political interests, and the end might often be more effectually an- swered by twenty voters than by ten thousand. Had population been the groundwork of the right, Cornwall must formerly have been the most popu- lous part of the king- clom. He would tell them what the Boroughs represented. They represented the Bank, the East India Company, the Stock Exchange, the Monied Interest, the interests of all Corporate Bodies, the Colonies, and other most important interests, which had no certain access to Parliament elsewhere, and which had as much right to protection and a distinct representation, as the freehold of any person there present. His respect for the worthy Major would not let. him conclude without noticing some of his doctrines. They were given to understand, that a vote at elections was a natural and imprescriptible right of man. Surely this was as absurd as the divine and indefeasible right of kings. There were no rights in government but those of public utility. Were the country portioned out in departments, and the election in the power of the population, the most numerous class would carry all before it, and the day- labourers would have the power of returning all the Members. They had a right to return their proportion, and they did so, but why should they return the wrhole ? The worthy Major seemed to think that every person who had a vote was represented by the. Member returned, but the Member could not be said to represent persons of a class that voted against him. He ( Sir E. B.) had addressed them unprepared, and under some em- barrassment from the interruption of some persons, w$ o disturbed the freeholders. He thanked them 1 for the hearing which they had given, him. between old maids and bachelors; to the entile destruction of the peace of society, and there will be nothing to attend to but Hear the pretty ladies talk, Tittle- tattle, tittle- tattle. " Therefore resolved, That we will use our utmost exertions to prevent the passing of the above- named Bill, which we consider unconstitutional, and fraught with the most alarming consequences to the peace and happiness of society. " Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to draft a memorial to the Legislature, praying that the Bill may never be passed, and to obtain signatures of all persons who are opposed to its passage. u Resolved, That should the said Bill be thrown under the table, we pledge ourselves to unite in the holy bands of marriage, as soon as we can find pretty creatures that will have us. " Resolved, That we deeply commiserate the unfortunate situation in which old maids are placed, though we are sensible that many of them are like Jeremiah's figs— the good are very good, The had too sour to give the pigs ! u Resolved, That it be recommended to establish a House of Industry for Old Maids, and that old bachelors contribute towards their support, by giv- ing them their linen to make, and their stockings to darn. " Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be given to the landlord, for the use of the room. 44 It was moved and carried, That a committee be appointed to draft a memorial to the legislature. 44 It was also moved and carried, That the pro- ceedings of the meeting be published in all the papers— that will consent to do it roithout charge. 44 A. WOLKEUE, Chairman. " D. F. K. SMYTH, Secretary." The Bill was withdrawn. [ The above, it seems, is not a mere Jeu d^ Esprit. We are assured, by the Editor of the New York Gazette, that such a meeting was actually held, and the Resolutions which we have given regularly proposed, debated, and carried.] jRemarkable Instance of Animal Vitality.— Among the woods imported into this country for veneering and other ornaments of furniture, one of the driest, hardest, and most beautiful, is the zebra wood. In December last, in adzing the edges of an inside plank of this tree, about two inches within the edge of the plank, a species of Cerambyx was discovered. Its position was longitudinal with the grain of the wood, and the sides of the cavity containing it were smooth. The wood itself was perfectly dry, and had been brought to the saw- mill, near Stratford, in Essex, from the London Docks, where it had probably lain many years. On the 31st of December the specimen was carried to that able naturalist, Mr. Gift, College of Surgeons ; it was then in a torpid state, and apparently dead, but on that gentleman' bringing it near the fire, it recovered its vivacity, and ate some brown sugar very greedily. Being placed in a warm situation, it lived till the 15th of January, taking very little nourishment except milk and water. There was another specimen in the same log of wood, which was destroyed by the teeth of the saw. The animal thus remarkably found and revived in our climate, is two inches long. The colour darker than a cinnamon brown, and what was the most wonderful, his head was armed with two delicate feelers, twice the length of the body. How these tender filaments were disposed in the hard wood puzzles the conjecture while alive, it usually carried this antennae over its back, but occasionally brought them forward. Having ten joints in each, it had the power of folding them on its body.— Some of our readers may remember an instance somewhat resembling the present, and which also originated under very singular circumstances. A clerk in one of the courts al Guildhall had been often staggered, if not frightened, during his labours, by the sound of something like what superstition has named the Death- watch, too near his desk to bode any good to him. The old desk had been a court appendage for a number of years; and our clerk's astonish- ment may be surmised, when one day, his attention being peculiarly attracted by the ticking noise, he first saw a minute hole perforated to the surface from the inner wood, and soon after a portion of the insect- instrument, by which this operation was performed, protruded. With his penknife he care- fully enlarged the orifice, and dug out an animal resembling the Cerambyx of the zebra wood, but of brilliant colours and smaller dimensions. This specimen was presented to Sir J. Banks, and is, we presume, still in the collection left by him.— The desk was of American oak. CROOKED COINCIDENCES.— A pamphlet, pub- lished in the year 1703, has the following strange title:— Deformity of sin cured; a Sermon preach- ed at St. Michael's, Crooked Lane, before the Prince of Orange, by the Rev. J. Crookshanks. Sold by Matthew Denton, at the Crooked Billet, near Cripplegate, and by all other booksellers." The words of the text are u Every crooked path shall be made straightand the Prince before whom it was preached, was deformed in his person. On the 17th ult. at an adjourned City Sessions* held at Gloucester, William Ciuer, tanner, late of Dorking, Surrey, an Insolvent Debtor, was re- manded to prison for six months, for making a partial distribution of his effects among his creditors. In the Palace Court, London, on Friday, a person appeared as bail, who said he was a bank- rupt two years and a quarter ago, but was now possessed of £ 1,500 and a house worth £ 600.— The dividend on his bankruptcy was a penny farthing in the pound. The Court refused to admit him to bail, and advised him to be honest enough to make over some part of his large pro- perty to his creditors. BANKRUPTS, APRIL 8.—- Thomas Huntington, of Carlisle, ironmonger.— Henry Peck Evans, of Bir- mingham, broker. John Morriss, late of the Tythingof Whistones, Worcestershire, carpenter. — Quarton Levitt, of Kingston- upon- Hull, mer chant.— Thomas Smallwood, of Drayton- in- IIales, Salop, banker.— Isaac Isaacs, of Cfiatham, Kent, slopseller.— William Crowther, of Charles- street, Middlesex- hospital, coachmaker. brewery for brewing other beer, and " iro buildiugg for brewing other beer are to be erected within 200 yards of the premises on which this beer is to be brewed. 13th. Every person brewing beer under this Act is to designate the storehouse or room which he1 mentis to use for keeping fttait. . 14th. The quantities of n'ralt received are also to' be entered into a book kept for that purpose, w hich book is to be open to the inspection of the Excise Officers. 15th. Every person brewing this beer, is to expose his stock of malt to the inspection of the Excise Officers; and if the quantify on hand does not cor- respond to his account, he is liable to be fined for every offence £ 200. 16th. Brewers may have their stock of malt mea- sured, if they dispute the Officer's judgment by • gauging. 17th. This beer must not be put or stored in casks larger than butts, and every cask must be measured by the Officers of Excise. 18th. When sent out in casks of more than four gallon*, the casks are to be marked with the name of the- trader, brewery, and the figure 5, under a penalty of £ 50 for every neolect. 19th. All brewers of this, and all other beer or ale, are to make a declaration in writing, of the strength and quality of the beer brewed at every brewing. Neglecting to do this, or concealing or altering such a declaration, subjects the offender to a penalty of £ 200 for every offence. 20th. This Act is to take effect on July 5,1823. At a meeting of several respectable agriculturists, held in this town to- day, to consider- of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's New Beer Law, it was unani- mously agreed, that the Bill, in ils present form, by no means meets the wishes of the public, and to the Agriculturists will be worse than useless. It \ va* resolved to represent to the County Members, that ifr instead of being obliged to brew" four barrels and a half of beer from eight bushels of malt, the price only of the article was fixed by law, and that price to be three. pence per quart, every end would he an- swered. The Brewer under the New' Act would then be enabled to brew such a good and wholesome beverage, as would induce the present. Brewers ma- terially to improve the quality of the beer now re- tailed at five- pence, and occasion such an increased consumption of barley, as to give the farmer a fair prospect of remuneration for his labour, and the re- venue would derive one- fourth more than it does at present from malt and beer. W'v understand, that Mr, Pink I. ee was requested to forward the Reso- lutions of the Meeting to the County Members.— Heading Mercury. We copy the following from the Morning Chro. nicle.— 44 The average price of barley i » 32s. 5d. per quarter. Should it advance to 35s. the foreign barley now in granary ( amounting to less than 50,000 quarters) will he admitted for home consumption at a duty of 8s. 2< 1. a quarter. The great decrease iu the supply of wheat induces the gentlemen in Mark- lane to look for higher prices. During the ten venrx preceding fSl8, London imported on the average of these years, of British wheat 330,575 quarters annu- ally, and of Foreign Wheat, 312,178 quarters annu- ally, of which, however, probably 100,000 quarter* were re- exported to the ports in the Channel, & c. In 1819 the import of British wheat was 240,92-' » - quarters, and of foreign the quantity was 207,757 quarters for home consumption. In 1820 the ports were closed against foreign importation for home consumption, and the quantity of British wheat im- ported into London that year was 405,889 quarters ; in 1821 the quantity of English wheat was 443,80;* quarters; and in 1822it increased to 512,155 qrs.— From Sept. 28 to Dec. 28, 1821, the import into London of British wheat was 158,464 quarters, and during the same months, in 1822, it was only 105,879 qrs. leaving a deficiency of fully one- third. Since that period to the present time, the supply has fallen off'in a still greater degree, and to Liverpool, Glas- gow, and all the large markets the same observation apply. In granary the quantity is not large, and unless the farmers hold more than their usual stock, prices must be dearer with, or without a return to paper money, and without any equitable adjustment, or, in other words, compounding of national debts. The effect flows most naturally from the cause, and no sophistry can alter the principles of supply and demand, an excess of either of which always pro. duces a re- action to the opposite side. The import- ation of flour into London, during the ten years end- ing with 1818, averaged 361,223 sacks annually ; in 1819 it amounted to 371,590 sacks; in 1820 it amounted to 427,701 sacks ; in 1821 it was 425,360 sacks; and in 1822 it advanced to 449,385 sacks. On the 28th December last, there remained in Lon- don about 196,000 quarters of bonded foreign wheat,. 18,000 quarters of barley, 70,000 quarters of oats^ SOO- quarters of beans, and 1500 quarters cf peas, under the King's lock. TOLL ON LIME FOR MANURE.—- The Bill introduced into Parliament by Sir Thomas Acland, to relieve farmers from the payment of tolls on lime for manure, rcccived the Royal Assent on Monday. It provides, 44 that nothing in the sa'ul Act [ the General Turnpike Act, passed last Ses- sion] shall extend or be construed to extend to enable any Collector or Collectors of Tolls, autho- rised to be taken under any local Act or Acts of Parliament for horses or carriages employed in carrying or conveying lime for the improvement of land, to take or demand any Toll for lime as afore- said, other than such as might have been demanded and taken under the authority of any such local Act previous to the passing of the said recited Act of the last Session of Parliament, any thing in the said Act to the contrary notwithstanding." Then follows a clause, enabling Trustees of Turnpikes to make a proportionate abatement in their leases of such Tolls as may be affected by this Act. There is another Act in preparation by Mr. F. Lewis, to remedy other inconveniences of the last year's General Turnpike Act.
