ER.— On Saturday John Morgan was fully committed to the Borough Gaol of Teukesbory, by B. Holland, Esq. charged with having feloniously stolen a cbesnnt gelding be- longing to Mr. James Cullimnre, of Sedbury, in the parish of Tidenham, Gloucestershire, and also a saddle and bridle the property of Mr. James, of the same place. The horse was stolen late on Thursday night, and suspicion fill upon the prisoner, who had formerly been in a respectable line of life as a butcher at Mathon, near Chepstow. He was quickly pursued by the owner and Mr. Lewie, one of his neighbours; but no certain tidings could be obtained of him until they arrived at Over turnpike gate, near Gloucester, where they found that a roan had passed through about s: x oYloek in the morning, who had no money to pay the toll, and therefore left a pair of ol. d shoes in pledge; and, at Gloucester VVestgate Bridge, tlie gate- keeper accurately described the prisoner and the horse, aud moreover produced one of the ; stirrups of the saddle, which had been left to pay j the toll. On their arrival in Gloucester, they heard that a person answering the description of Morgan had been detained at Tewkesbury, on sus- picion of having stolen the horse on which he rode; and on repairing thithev, found the objects of their pursuit. The cause of the prisoner's detention at Tewkesbury arose from the circumstance of his offering at the Hermitage turnpike- gate the only Stirrup he had left to the saddle, in lieu of money, and from the fatigued condition of the poor horse, which had evidently been over- vidden. stantty impressed wilh a hope, o the last moment, that the sentence would not be carried into execution; s. . d declared, tlmt i; she had known it would have com- this, shf could have employed £ 12,000 io attempting her redemption — ignorant of the fact that money has no weiyht in ( he scale of justice. Although nt onetime, rather a bitter feeling existed against the unhappy culprit, it seemed in lw r extremity to have been subdued by emotions of sympathy for her fatal end. The behaviour of every one was suitable to the solemn - and awful occasion," and in a short time the people dispersed quietly to their respective avoca- tions, without the slightest accident or noise. A most extraordinary deception had been practised by this unfortunate woman, which she kept up almost to the very last. It appears that her name was not M'Kinnon but M'lnnes, and that her father was a private in the 91st regiment of foot. Her mother and he. two sisters visited her during the last few days of her existence. It appears, she had been mistaken for the daughter of a Quarter- Master M'Kinnon ; and found it her interest to keep up the deception. It is stated, that the whole matter respecting her parentage will soon be laid before the public in an offi. ial manner. The body was given to the Professor of Anatomy for dissection. Al Great Chisball, on Monday last, two men were playing at leap frog, when one of them, in the act of jumping, pitched on his head, and expired. He was 30 years of age. ACCOMMODATION BILLS.—- Cantion to In- solvents.— Wm. Wilton, baker, late of Walcot Buildings, Bath, was remanded for six months imprisonment, at the late adjourned Sessions of the Peace, holden at Ilchester, for incurring debts without having visible means to discharge them, and particularly for accepting hills for the accom- modation of persons who . afterwards became in- solvent.— At the same Session, Paul Stallard, the younger, farmer, of Chewstoke, was remanded for 15 mouths for fraudulently removing and con- cealing his live and dead stock, for the purpose of avoiding a distress for a vei'y heavy arrear of rent due to his landlord, Wm. Lloyd, Esq. Tiie most prominent trait of beauty in either Sex, is a Fine Head of Hair, which is easily pro- duced by the wonderful powers of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL. The original and genuine— which possesses exclusive energetic properties in nourish- ing the Hair, preventing its falling off, or turning Grey in cases of Sickness, Alarm, Fright, Study, Accouchments, & c.— preserves it to the latest period of iife— promotes a luxuriant growth on the baldest places, adds strength to the roots ; produce* Strong Curls, which damp weather or exercise cannot affect ; renders hair that is harsh aud dry as soft as silk, glossy, elegant, and beautiful. This Oil is invaluable in the Nlvrsery ; as a due attention to Children's Hair is of the greatest importance. It eradicates the Scurf easy and pleasant, and makes- the Hair firm at. the Roots* and fixes a stamina for a beautiful Head of Hair. Produces Whiskers, Eye- brows, kc. This Oil has been for many years uni- versally admired, and acknowledg- ed superior to all other, and for its inestimable virtues is daily honoured with the sanction of Royalty, the Nobility, Gentry, and Public at large.

POSTSCRIPT.- LOUDON, Monday JV'ight, May 5, We regret to state, that on Saturday night his Majesty experienced a fresli attack of tiie gout in his right hand, and it is now considered as posi- tive, that his physicians will dissuade him from his intention of holding the Drawing. room on Thins, day next, as was previously determined 011 had his Majesty's health continued unimpaired.

LONDON We have received Dispatch from the Minister of the Interior, dated Paris, May 2, to the Mayor of Calais, which confirms the report of Saragossa having fallen. The following is a translation: " Monsieur Mayor— The advanced guard of the Second Corps entered Saragoss « on the ' 25th ult. The citadel of Jaca is in the power of the army of the King. The revolutionary Chief has heen arrested, and his troops have tendered their sub- mission." The French rentes appear to be rising at Paris on the strength of rumours of renewed negocialions. The Courier says, u we can state positively, that at the present moment there are lio such ver/ ociations ; though it is believed that when the Duke d'Augouleiue reaches Madrid, the attempt to' negotiate with the Cortes and Government at Seville will be made." Letters received from Opinio, dated the 18th ult. mention the violation of the territory of Spain by the Portuguese* troops, Ainarante, with his forces, had reached Bejievcnte, and Reigo in pur- suit of liiin, has his head quarters at Sanabria; both towns are a considerable distance within the Spanish frontier. Amaraute was on his inarch to join the French troops. Letters from Valparaiso, of 12th Jan. state, that Lord Cochrane was to sail from thence 011 the following day for Rio de Janeiro, in order to assume the command of the Brazilian Navy. The offers made lo Ins Lordship by Ihe Government to induce him to fill this station in their naval service, are said lo have been of a highly liberal nature. A negotiation for a similar purpose was entered into some months hack; but lie proposals then made lo bis Lordship were not sufficiently attractive to ohtaiu his acceptance. HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. On the motion for reading the Warehousing Bill the third time, Lord HAREWOOD thought, that while every facility was idTorded to the foreign manufacturer, some consideration should be afford- ed to our own. Though the Woollen Manufacturers had malic no opposition to tho Jlitl, it. still was their intention to address the two Houses of Parlia- ment 011 the subject. By the latest accounts from Spain, it appeared that an additional tax of 5.1. per 1tjons 1) cilli, commenced, that there has In lb had been imposed on the exportation of Spanish jn ||| e a( lvance of „ le Fl. ench a _ r, Wool.— The Bill was then read a third time aud passed.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS FRIDAY. Mr. Secretary CANNING appeared at the bar with the reply of the King to the Address voted by the House on Wednesday. It stated that hin Majesty bad received with gratification the assurances of the House, that they would support him in any measures which he might think fit to take in the maintenance of the. honour and dignity of the C rowTi. The examinations in the iuquiry respecting the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin were afterwards entered upon. The House having resolved itself into a Committee on the subject, Sir R. Heron was appointed CI1air111r. il, and the first witness, Benja- min Richv, Esq. Clerk of the Crown for Ireland, was called to the bar; and'underwent a long exa- mination. The facts, which those who attempted to inculpate the Dublin Sheriff'established, went to the presumption that that officer, who directly interfered in the nominations, bail an eye, in the selection of the panel, to the political bias of those who were to compose the Grand Jury— The Com- mittee is to sit again on Monday. Before the examination commenced, Mr. Plunkett slated that he had been recently apprised of a pre- cedent for the filing an ex officio information, after indictments on the same ease had been ignored. The precedent occurred in 1811, iti the case of a person named Leach or Lynch, who bad attempted to bribe the Lord LieuPeuunt'a Military Secretary, Sir Edward Liitlehaies.

Perhaps there weie never in the history of Ireland, any scenes comparable to those wliicih have been en- acted, for the last three or four months, in Cork and Limei'ick.

We mentioned, on Saturday, that the Duke d'Angouleme had found some unexpected difficul- ties in his march upon Madrid. The nature of these difficulties will be best understood by the following fact, which we communicate upon good authority— viz. that 30,000 additional troops are ordered to march to the Pyrenees, from the northern parts of France. We believe the last dispatches from the head- quarters of the French Army, strongly urged the importance of immediate rein foicements. I11 fact, the necessity of masking, or [ reducing; the strong fortresses of San Sebastian, i Pampeluna, and Figncras, and the impossibility | of doing either with the force actually employed, j explain sufKcriemty the grounds of this new levy, : This is the cause, ami not on account of negutia been a pause my.— Courier. We have also another piece of intelligence to announce, respecting which strong rumours have prevailed for some time. It is that a Hussion Army is undoubtedly assembling m the Duchy of Warsaw ; whether to be used for the purpose of overawing France in the absence of her own soldiers, or as a body of troops to join the French in Spain, we cannot pretend to say. When, bow- ever, we unite this circumstance with the news last received from Vienna, stating, that the cominuni cations between that Court ami St. Petersburg!! had again become very. active, and with the intelligence from Lausanne, that the Austrian troops, which were about to evacuate Italy, had unexpectedly halted upon the frontiers of Lunibardy, wc think it requires no extraordinary sagacity to presage the coming events.— Ibid. [ From our Private Correspondent.'| A letter received to- day from Petersburgh, dated 11th April, states, that on the preceding day, the Government caused a notice to be posted up at the public exchange to prevent any trade or mer- cantile transactions being carried on with Spain or Portugal, aud their respective dependencies, and above all, prohibiting any vessel being sen! there. Thus we ntay consider the direct communications with these countries as entirely inlerrupted.

YIIEAD ROAD— We have been favoured with a communication fr » m a Gentleman of the Shrewsbury Committee, now in London, by w hich we are informed that several important alterations have been made in Sir Henry ParneU's Bill now before Parliament, which will for the present continue the Mail on the line of road through Shrewsbury. Many complaints have been made, and not with- out reason, respecting the state of the Wyle Cop, and we think it would he well worth the attention of the Committee of Management ( to whom the town is much indebted for the improvements lhey have already made, and also for those in progress), that they may take it into their serious consider- ation, with a view lo make such alterations as will tend to render this, the principal approach from Loudon, more easy.

The Itev. Archdeacon Beynoti at his recent re- ceipt day of the tithe compositions of the parish of Talley, in the county of Carmarthen, for the harvest of 1821, made an allowance of 20 per cent, to such of the inhabitants of that parish as then paid. It is believed there were but very few defaulters, and that the annual dinner given by the worthy and benevolent Divine to the inhabitants, in pay- ing their compositions, was never more numerously attended than it was 011 this occasion.

The following is a brief state- ment of the facts : On the morning of . that day Lieut! N'azer, commander of the Badger revenue cUtter, gave chase to a smuggling vessel, named the Vre Brothers; anil on their coining* within gun- sli< jt of each other, a sharp engagement took place, in which William Cull am, one of the crew of the Badger, was killed, after an obstinate resistance on the part of the » mngigl( vra', iu which two- of theircrewwerealso killed. They surrendered their vessel \ and on searching', she was found to he laden with tobacco, foreign spirits, and teas. The crew were then taken prison- ers, and they professed to be Dutchmen, but many of them were distinctly heard to speak good English The vessel and cargo has been valued at £ 11,000.— The defence set up was, that the vessel was seized contrary to ihe law of nations, being a foreign vessel, hound from aud to a foreign port, having a foreign crew, and manned hy foreign seamen. After the trial had occupied the Court for twelve hours, it adjourned to ten o'clock on Saturday morn- ing ; when it was resumed. Evidence having been heard on both sides. Judge Park charged the Jury, and said,- there were two things, which, if found, would acquit the prisoners: the first was, that no part of the vessel which the prisoners navigated belonged to any subject of his Majesty; the other, that one half of the crew were not his Majesty's sub- jects ; for if neither of these facts existed, his Ma- jesty's ship had no right to fire at their vessel.— In answer to a question from a juror, Mr. Justice Park said, that persons born in this country of foreign parents were clearly amenable to the laws of Eng- land.— Lord Stowell: " And the same may be said of the children of British parents horn in other countries: they owe an allegiance to. the parent state, &. a, i: ealso amenable to the lawsof the country in which they reside."— At five o'clock the Jury retired, and having deliberated for two hours, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, for all the prisoners, finding that the ship and cargo were wholly foreign property, and that more than one half of the crew were foreigners. The announcement of the verdict was received with shouts of approbation by the crowds in the Court- raid. The prisoners were then given in charge to 3he Jury on an indictment for murder, for which a bill had been found in consequence of one of the $ adger* Bcrew ( Cnlltim) having been killed, and no evidence being offered, they were immediately ac- quitted and di » el.)' ar. ged* BLAIR & LLOYD RESPECTFULLY announce to the .

The ad- miration elicited from the many groups of Ladies and Gentlemen of taste and respectability, who visited this display of Nature's elegance and beauty, must hav£ been highly gratifying- to the Society. The rear of the flower stage was very tastefully decorated with blooming Exotics, supplied by the kindness and liberality of one of its Honorary Members.

After the business of the meeting was concluded}, the Society sat down to a very excellent, dinner, 1 and spent several hours together in the most : rational and agreeable manner. Many loyal, patriotic, and sentimental toasts were given, in- cluding also the followiug original sentiment by a The neutral policy of Government, after a debate of three successive nights, the last of which" was not concluded till half- past five o'clock on Thursday morning, has been sanctioned in the House of Com- mons by a majority which is unprecedented ; a majority of 372 votes to 20.— This is a proud con- clusion on a momentous question for the present British Ministry, and justifies all its members, particularly our great Duke of Wellington, in the - decided means which they have pursued to avert the approach of War. The sense of the Country is thus unequivocally ascertained;, and Govern- ment will enjoy its gratitude for maintaining the enjoyment of the satisfactions of Peace, so long as honour and rectitude do not imperiously call for a deviation from its present course.— A decided censure on the aggressive conduct of France was unequivocally expressed during this protracted dt bate, by both sides of the House.— See 4th page. COURT OF KING'S BENCH— MAY 2. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. TIIE KING V. I , A CORONER OF THE COUNTY OF SALOP. Mr. PEARSON ifioved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not he filed against the defendant, one of the Coroners of the County of Salop. On the 22d of January last, he said a woman named Sarah Newton, the wife of a farmer of con- sideiable property, residing about four miles from Bridgnorth, met with her death in consequence of severe blows and kicks which she had received from him. An inquisition was summoned on the 27th of the same mouth, and the defendant presided upon it. as Coroner. A verdict was found by the Jury, under his direction, which did not attach guilt to any person; but accounted for her death from excessive bleeding, without stating the cause of that bleeding. In con- sequence of this decision, Newton, the husband, was suffered to remain at large. The suspicious circum- stances under which the poor woman met with her death being involved in obscurity, the Magistrates of the County caused examinations to he taken, and the result was that a charge of Wilful Murder was made against the husband, who was committed to the County Gaol, He was tried at Shrewsbury Spring Assizes, and after a long and painful inves tigation, a verdict of Guilty was returned by the Jury, and lie suffered the last extremity of the law. The depositions of the witnesses who gave their evidence upon the. trial was produced before the Magistrates at the Quarter Sessions, and, on account of their contents, the present application was made. Ed- wards, a witness, so examined, who resided at Bridgnorth, stated, that on the 22d January, he called at Newton's house with his account for pay- ment. Among the various items in it, there was one for a kmthorn charged 3s. On Newton inspecting the bill, he said that he had given his wife the money to pay for that article, and that she had improperly applied the money. In his anger he immediately called her into the room, and expressed himself iu very strong terms, and inquired if she had not re- ceived the sum of 3s. for the purpose of purchasing a lanthorn ? to which she tremblingly assented that such was the fact. He then told her he would give her a good beating. The witness begged he would not, and said he would strike the item out of his account if he would not. Witness then remained drinking with Newton until eight o'clock in the evening. When he proposed departing, he expres- sed his! anxiety to see Mrs. Newton, and bid her fare well. She not being in the house, on his informing Newton, the latter said, " Oh d—— n her she i hiding herself, knowing what she has to expect. This evidence had been stated before the Coroner, and when it was proposed three several times that Edwards should be called as a witness, he always opposed it. The cause of the death of the deceased i was the laceration of ah artery near the womb, from ! which an hemorrhage proceeded, and a doubt had i arisen, whether this hemorrhage arose from this or some other cause. The deceased at the time was ad- [ vanced six months in a state of pregnancy. The 27th of the same month, the Coroner came to Newton house early in the morning, and had a long private S.

The Society, we understand, intend to hold Meetings for Pinks, Carnations, and Gooseberries, at the proper periods. We have at all times great pleasure in announcing to the public the arrival of performers of merit, and we have now the satisfaction to state, that the eminent Mr. Cooke, the Manager of the Olympic Circus, in Liverpool, has taken our Circus for a short period, where he intends to offer such a treat as we have rarely witnessed, and which cannot be judged of by description, in the wonderful per- formances of Mr. Bellinck and his interesting young family, who are said to have received the un- bounded applause of the most enlightened audiences of the Continent, the Metropolis, Edinburgh, Dublin, & c. He is aided in his endeavours by Mr. Usher, the eccentric well tried favourite of the public ( accompanied by his daughters), who in- troduced the strange exhibition of four cats draw- ing him in his carriage through the streets, aiid four geese towing him up the river Thames. The inimitable Y'oung Woolford, the celebrated Mr. Ryan, & c. & c. also add their exertions.—- Such an unity of talent is rarely to be met with, and where indefatigable industry to amuse the public is added to respectability of character, we venture to ex- press a hope that their exertions will not pat8 un- rewarded,, tent- ion to the particular part, where the injury was supposed to be; however, he had remarked, that there were several bruises upon different parts of the body of the deceased. He afterwards directed the body to be covered entirely over with a cloth excepting the head and feet. When the Jury hac assembled, they went, accompanied hy the Coronerv to view the body. As soon as they had entered the room, he told them they must not touch the body it was enough for them to perceive there was one, The body was afterward opened by Mr. Coley, one of the medical gentlemen in attendance, who ascer- tained that a serious injury had heen done to an interior artery near the womb. The Coroner in quired of him whether, in his opinion, such an injur could have arisen from natural circumstances? Tire Surgeon replied, it was impossible for such a thing to occur. The usual number of the Jurymen sum moned by the Coroner was twenty- four, but after this last piece of information was given, he said, I see this is a very slight case, and therefore twenty- four persons are not necessary ; I shall dismiss twelve" This was accordingly done. Mr. Coley underwent an examination before the remaining jurors, and he stated it to be his opinion that the wound in the artery was produced by a blow. The Learned Counsel held an affidavit in his hand, in which it was sworn that the CofONer had refused to examine the witness Edward's. He then said, that upon the grounds which he had already mentioned he hoped the Court would be induced to grant the rule. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the Court was of opinion, that sufficient had been « tated to grant a rul « .— Rule granted. MRS.

CORN- EXCHANGE, MAY 5. We had a g- nod supply of Wheat fresh in this morning from Essex and'Kent, which with a large quantity left over from last week, and the continu- ance of fine weather, have occasioned a decline of full 3s. per quarter ou the prices of this day se'nnight, while the ordinary qualities are sold at a still greater reduction. Fine Malting Barley fully supports its price, owing to the quantity at niarket being small. The Oat trade is exceedingly heavy, the supply being large, while the same prices are demanded.

Invocation to Woman. Oh, Woman ! brightest, fairest, purest, best, And oft the noblest ornament of earth ! If thy too erediilent soul made man unblest Has lie had no requital ? - is the birth Of aii his days— his happiness, possest Of thy fair form— thy constancy— thy worth — Aud all'the nameless joys that love bestows, No recompense lor all mail's fancied woes ? And go llii/ wrongs for nothing ; is the blight Of many a crushed aud too confiding soul To be forjotteu, when the lordly might Of milu asserts its absolute controul ? No ! let men rail— but in their worst despite Joy is but woo when woman is the goal, And Love, true Love, the impulse :-- tbroiiglioiit life There can be nought so fond as a fond wife ! I speak not of experience tried aud proved, Beyond the theory 1 nothing know ; Albeit that tew have e'er so warmly loved — Still doomed more blessed knowledge to forego : Yet by u grateful spirit justly moved My tribute scarce exceeds the debt I owe; Not that I would mislead the soul of youth, " Or leud a lie the confidence of truth 1" But he that scorns tlie pure delight to avow Of tender, chaste, and ever growing love, Knows not the most the fairest can bestow ; Knows not how firm the tenderest heart can prove, Finn In our bliss - but firmer in our woe — Oh, glorious sex 1 — all minstrel- praise above,— Still let my blighied heart before tiiee bow — And with undying reverence still attest, Who ne'er has known thy love — has ne'er been blest. CKOKTOM PARK RACES, 1823. TO- BAY. '? FROM TIIE NEW monthly MAGAZINE.] The sport was by no means good at Croxton Park Races this year, and the company not so numerous as upon former occasions, owing, no doubt, lo the extreme severity of the weather. The Duke and Duchess of Rutland, and all I lie party from Belvoir, were present, including Lord Forester and family, Mr. and Mrs. Lane Fox, is: o, & e. as also most of tlie principal families in the neighbourhood. Tlie Billesdoii Coplow Stake was won very easy hy Mr. Mytton's Habberleyj beating Mr. Peel's Pioneer. The Farmer's Plate was won by Mr. Foster's brown horse.

Consi- dering it bestowed upon us for the sole purpose of being expended as fast as possible in dainties, toys, and nicknacks, we should reproach ourselves for meanness of spirit were we. to hoard it up, or appropriate it to any object of serious utility, it is. the only part of life of which we are sure ; ^ et we treat it as if it were the sole portion of existence beyond our controul. We make sage reflections upon the past, and wise resolutions for the future, but no one ever forms an important determination for to- day. Whatever is urgent must be reserved fur to- morrow ; the present hour is a digression, an episode that belongs not to the main business of life; we may cut it out altogether, and the plot will not be the less complete. Iu spite, however, of its being a truism, it must be admitted that to- day is a portion of our existence. Granted, ex- claim § the idler, but, after all, what is a single day ?•— A question which is peevishly repeated three hundred aud sixty- five times in a year, when we commence a new score of similar interrogatories: so that we might as well say at once, " what is a single life ?" Short as the interval might be, and however indolently we may have passed it, to- day has not been altogether unimportant. Perched upon our goodly vehicle, the Earth, we have swung through space at a tolerably brisk rate in the performance of our annual rotation around the sun ; — so many miles of life's journey have, at all events, brought us so much, nearer to its end ; they are struck off from our account ; we shall never travel over them again. With every tick of our watch in that brief space of time, some hundreds or thousands have started from the great antenatal infinite to light and life; while as many have returned into the darkness of the invisible world. And we ourselves, though we sometimes exclaim, like the Emperor Titus, that we have lost a day, may be well assured that to- day has not lost sight of iis. The* footsteps of Time may not be heard when be treads upon roses, but his progress is not the l< ss certain ; we need not shake the hour- glass to make the sands of life flow faster; they keep perpetually diminishing ; night and day, asleep or awake, grain by grain, our existence dribbles away. We call those happy moments Avhen Time flies.- most rapidly, forgetting that he is the only winged, personage that cannot fly backwards,- and that- his speed is but hurrying us to the grave. The To- day of England, nationally considered, cannot ha vociionod. happy. It is too bust ling, laborious, and excessive. In France, pleasure is almost the only business; iu Eng- land, business: is almost the only pleasure, and this is pushed to an extremity that'surrounds it. with Hazard & anxiety By1 devoting all its energies and faculties, physics), and intellectual, to this one object, for a series of tears, the nation has attained an eminence so fear- fully beyond its'natural claims and position, that nothing but a continuance of convulsive eitorts, even ill the midst of distress and exhaustion, can enable it to uphold the rank it has assumed. Hence'every thing is artificial, and in all directions we contemplate tension, excitement, fever. Her navy exceeds that of the collected world— so does her debt, a co- existence that cannot be very dur- able. Her establishments of all sorts are propor- tioned to what she owes, rather than to what she has ; her grandeur can only be equalled by her embarrassments. In one colony she has 00 millions of subjects, while a great proportion of her native population are paupers, and in her sister- island famine has lately stalked hand- in- hand with rebel- lion. Nor have her intellectual developements been less extraordinary, for she possesses a constel- lation of living luminaries, who, pouring forth their streams of light with a profusion as unparal- leled as their intensity, at this moment irradiate and supply all Europe. Splendid talents have excited public admiration, and procured unprece- dented remuneration ; while fame and riches have re- acted upon and stimulated latent genius, until the existing literature of the country presents an universality of diffusion, and unbounded copious- ness of production, and a magnificence of encou- ragement, hitherto totally unknown in the history ot the world. No social system was ever pushed to such an energetic extremity, or afforded' so curious and glorious a spectacle ; but il has not sufficient repose for enjoyment: happiness loves to dwell amid more tranquil elements. Its tendency has been painfully illustrated by the recent fate of some of it's leading members. " Unable or unwilling some c. — „ .,..., to relax in their career, they have devoted mind aad body to this restless principle of advancement, and. have toiled and prospered, and become enslaved and enriched, and achieved misery and fame, until nature was exhausted in the strife, and their own hands relieved them from the Burnett of existence at the precise moment when they had attained every object of their ambition, and appeared. to the world to stand upon the summit of iiuiniin happi- ness. How long is this fearful tension upon al! the nerves and sinews of the country to endure ? What is to be the result of this over- working- of the national machine ? A certain Frenchman implored death to spare bim till he saw the end of the French Revolution, so curious was he to witness its termin- ation. An Englishman might well petition to be absolved from the omnivorous scythe, until he ascertained what would be the finale of the present ecstasy of his country. Those individuals who seek happiness will with- draw themselves from this whirl and vortex of excitement. They will not aggravate the diseased enlargement of the public heart, and share the painful intensity of its pulsations, by residing in the capital. There is no holy calm, no sabbath of the soul, no cessation of strife, in that vast arena of the passions where life is a ceaseless struggle of money- getting and money- spending-; a contest of avarice and luxury ; a delirium of the senses or of the mind. If we desire peace and repose, let us look out upon the variegated earlh, ever new and beautifulr— upon the azure dome of Heaven, hung around with painted clouds— upon the wide waters, dancing and glittering in the sun, or lying in the stillness of their crystal sleep. Let us listen to the music of the skv, when the boughs are. singing to the wind, and tfie birds are serenading one another ; or surrender ourselves to that more pleasing- sen- sation, when the serenity of Nature's silence im- parts a congenial balm and tranquillity to the heart. Gazing on the face of Nature, we shall encounter no human passions, no distrust, no jeq.,. Jousv, no intermission of friendship or attraction j even her frowns are beautiful, and we need not fear that death shall tear her from us. We look upon an immortal countenance. A monjing thus dedi- cated is an act ofthe purest piety ; it is offering to ihe Deity a heart made happy by the contemplation of his works ; and if I can'prevail upon a single reader to detach himself for a time from crowds and enthralments, and betake himself to the sunny meadows or the green twilight of the woods, I shall felicitate myself on not having quite unprofit- able- employed the morning of—" To- day." It may not be generally known to the lovers of Natural History, that the trout species will prey on the lizard. An instance of this was discovered in a trout, caught by a gentleman on Good Friday last, in the Lake of Buttermere. The fish weighed a pound and a half; and when opened, was found to contain a full grown lizard. They who are fond of the rural diversion of angling, may profit from the hint, by trying the experiment of baiting for trout w ith animals of the lizard species.— White- haven Gazette. A beautiful specimen of the Enea Gloriosa, or Hundred Year Plant, is at present going into flower iu the garden of Col. Glass, at Abbey Park, St. Andrew's, Scotland. The gardener asserts that he has known the identical plant for more than 30 years, and has never seen any appearance of flower before. The beneficial effects of the system of boring for water, are now experienced at King's Ferry, at which place water could only be obtained by fetching it from a great distance. A hole has been bored to the depth of 170 feet, aud a pipe three inches in diameter inserted, which stands two feet above the, surface, with a curved top ; from this pipe, water has continued to flow ever since its completion., which is about three weeks, at the rate of f'H'e gallons p, er minute. The expense was £ 35. At Elmley Ferry, which was similarly cir- cumstanced, the same beneficial effects are ex- perienced.— Kent Heratrt. I> r. Caleb Miller has stated the success he obtained in c'ases of jaundice, by the use of phosphoric acid. His practice is to give a cathartic of calomel and jalap, or some of the neutral salts, and then balm tea, moderately acidulated' with' the phosphoric acid, which is to be continued tiii it operates as a diuretic, and until flie urine becomes clear, or neatly so. One patient had taken eight pints in twenty- four hours, iu general, the • yellowness disappears in three or four days fiotn the skin. Dr. Miller lias met but one ca. se ( a person SO years of age) that had not yielded to this treatment. A NEW FLUID, WITH REMARKABLE PHY- SICAL PROPERTIES, DISCOVERED I. V THE CAVITIES OF MINERALS.— This fluid has been recently discovered by Dr. Brewster, in the Cavi- ties of Minerals. It possesses the remarkable property of expanding about thirty times more than water; and, by the heat of the hand, or between 75 and 83 degrees, it always expands so as to fill the cavity which contains it. The vacuity which is thus filled up is of course a perfect vacuum ; and at a temperature below that now mentioned, the new fluid contracts, and the vacuity re- appears, frequently with a rapid effervescence. These phenomena take place instantaneously, iu several hundred cavities, seen at the same time. If such a fluid could be obtained in quantities, its utility in the construction of thermometers and levels would be incalculable. There are many cavities in crystals, such as those opened by Sir Humphry Davy, which contain only water, and which, of course, never exhibit any of the proper, ties above described. An account of these results was read before the Royal Society of Edinburgh, oil the 3d and on the 17th March.— Edinburgh PhilosbphicaI Journal. GLUE.— It has. been erroneously stated that India rubber will make good glue, but the fact is, it will never set to harden. For a strong firm cheap glue, nothing lias yet been discovered superior to the best kind of that which is in general use; and for a fine, clear, and transparent kind, which will unite glass, so as to render the fracture almost imperceptible, nothing is equal to isinglass boiled in spirits of wine. Perkinses New Steam, Engine,— This extraor- dinary invention is now completed, and .. fully answers the expectations of its projector. The Ikmdon Journal of Arts for April, which describes its principles and operation, states that the space occupied by the engine and ail its appendages, does not exceed an area of six feet by eight, though it. is calculated to work with the power of ten horses ; and it is considered that no part of the apparatus would require enlarging for an engine of fifty horse power, except the working cylinder, which at present is only 18 inches long and two inches diameter. The consumption of fuel is stated to be only two bushels per day; and perfect safety from any explosion is effected by the new mode of generating the steam. A copper bulb is introduced in the steam- pipe, which is designed to explode under a pressure of one thousand pounds upon every squaie inch, while every oll>* » - part is proved to sustain a force Of two thousand pounds ; and this again is intended to be worked at from five to seven hundred. The efficacy of a safety bulb of this description has been fu- lly proved, several having been actually exploded by over- working the engine in the presence of many persons ; and here a most extraordinary circumstance is dis- covered— the steam, when blowing out of the fissure, is not sensibly hot. The generating of the steam, and its condensation, take place so instantaneously, that the piston, when in full work, makes about 250 strokes per minute. VACCINATION,-— Within the dominions of the King of Prussia, out of 484,5* 23 children born in 1821, 40,000 have been vaccinated; and, during that year, only 1,190 died of small pox, whereas, before the introduction of cow pox, the annual deaths by small pox amounted to near 40,000.— Since the introduction of cow pox into England, the population has annually increased; and, ac- cording to the last census, there was an increase of nearly two millions; a number equal to the whole population of England, exclusive of Wales, at the Norman Conquest. U is hoped that this increase is as much the consequence of the diffusion of medical knowledge as the preventive effects of cow- pox.— Dr. Clorette, au Italian physician, says lie has ascertained, that independent of the great ad- vantage of cow pox, in affording permanent seen rity against small pox infection, it has added 4 or 5 years to the lives of those who have received it; and as elderly subjects are susceptible of its action a third time, it may be successfully employed to prolong life.— The National Vaccine Establishment has presented reports on the subject of vaccination to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which say, " The failures of vaccination, which formerly occasioned so much alarm, are now be- come extremely rare, from the improved methods which have been adopted.— In consequence of the decisive measures adopted in Russia, Germany, France, and Italy, the small pox has become a very rare disease in those countries; and, by like , means, it is no longer known in Ceylon and at the Cape of Good Hope.' 9 HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY. FOREIGN RELATIONS. Mr. J. MACDONALD, in bringing- forward his motion for an Address to, the Crown, censuring the conduct of Ministers in the late negotiations, spoke at great length, taking a minute review of nearly all the documents recently laid before Parliament. He concluded by moving as follows: — " That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, to inform his Majesty, that this House has taken into its most serious consideration the papers relative to the late neg- ociations, which have been laid before them by his Majesty's gracious com mand. " To represent to His Majesty, that the disap- pointment of His Majesty's benevolent solicitude to preserve general peace, appears to this Hot'ise to have, in a great measure, arisen from the failure of his Ministers to make the most earnest, vigorous, and solemn protest against the pretended right of the Sovereigns, assembled at Verona, to make war on Spain on account of her political institutions : as well as against the subsequent pretension of the French Government to deny that nations can law- fully enjoy any civil privileg- es but from the spon- taneous grant of their Kings ; principles destruct- ive of the rights of all independent States, which strike at the root of the British Constitution, and are subversive of His Majesty's legitimate title to the Throne; u Further^ to declare to his Majesty the surprise and sorrow with which this House has observed that His Majesty's Ministers should have advised the Spanish Government* when, so unwarrantably me- naced, to alter their Constitution, in the hope of • averting invasion j a concession ' which alone would have involved the total sacrifice of national inde- : pendente ; and which was not even palliated by an assurance from France, that, on receiving- so dis- honourable a submission, she would desist from her unprovoked aggression. " Finally, to represent to Ilis Majesty, that,^ in the judgment of this House, a tone of more dignified remonstrance would have beeu better calculated to preserve, the peace of the Continent, and thereby to secure this nation more effectually from the hazard, of being involved in the calamities of war." Mr. STUART WORTLF. Y ( Member for Yorkshire) rose for the purpose of proposing- an amendment to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman. He was so confident that the general feeling- of the country was" in unison with his own upon it, that he should be ashamed of himself if he were not ready to take the first opportunity of bringing the question to a plain issue. With respect to all that the Hon. Gent, had said of the conduct of the Allied Powers towards Spain, he ( Mr. S. Wortley), suspected there was a perfect agreement throughout this country. For himself, he felt as strongly and warmly as the Hon. Gent, could do, that the con- duct of the Allied Sovereigns struck at all the principles on which our Constitution was founded, and attempted to shut the door to ihe admission into any State of any thing, like rational liberty. In regard to the conduct of His Majesty's . Govern- ment at Verona, he contended, that unless we. had; determined to back our remonstrance by force, we should, had we used stronger language,- have placed ourselves in an entirely false position. The question for His Majesty's Government to decide had been, whether to preserve neutrality j or, iii, the event of their remonstrances being unattended * tOy support them by a recourse to arms? That being- the alternative^ he thought that Ministers, in the choice which they had macley had acted wisely and in accordance with the general feeling of the country. He would ask the Hon. Gentleman and his friends, who had been so continually pressing the reduction of our establishments and the diminu- tion of our taxation, in What situation this country would have now been' placed, if the policy which they recommended with respect to France and Spain had been pursued? If at Verona we had emonstratedf and finding- our remonstrances in [ tin, had armed in support of our opinions, instead of having- had any Taxes taken off during the present Session, we innst before now have consented to the imposition of he'^ vy additional Taxes ; for it was perfectly idle to talk of seriously supporting the cause of* Spain, unless we supported it as we did last war; and then, if the Spaniards were not generally hostile to France, all our efforts in that country, limited as they must necessarily be in comparison with those of the late war, would be unavailing-. Under all the possible circumstances of the case, he. was decidedly of opinion that war was uot our prCTrnt polrcy-. lie would wncio^ c-' therefore, by moving-, as an amendment, to leave out all the words in the motion, after the para- graph, stating that the House had taken into its most serious consideration the papers which had been laid before it by His Majesty's gracious com- mand, for the purpose of substituting the following : " To asMire ' lis Majesty of our entire concur- rence in the principles' which His Majesty has re- peatedly declared, with respect to interference in the interna-- soncerns of independent nations, and in His Majesty's just application of those principles, in the course of the late negociations, to the case of Spain. " To acknowledge, with gratitude, His Majesty's earnest and unwearied endeavours to preserve the peace of Europe. i( To express our deep regret that those endea vours have proved unavailing ; and, while we re joice that His Majesty has not become party to s war, in which neither honour, nor treaty, nor the welfare of His Majesty's dominions, required His Majesty to engage; to assure His Majesty that, highly as we estimate the advantages of peace, par- ticularly at the present moment, we shall be at all times ready to afford His Majesty our most zealous and affectionate support, in any measures which His Majesty may find necessary to fulfil the obligations of national faith, to vindicate the dignity of his Crown, or to maintain the rights and interests of his people." Mr. THOMAS WILSON said he rose for the pur pose of seconding- this amendment, under the con- viction that the great majority of his constituents in the city of London, as well as the people at large, were in favour of the policy of neutrality at the present moment. He was not afraid of the feelings of other Powers towards this country, and he knew she would always be in a situation to maintain her rank in the scale of nations : nevertheless his de- cided opinion was, that the line of conduct best suited to the policy of Great Britain at this moment was neutrality, and a strict determination on the part of the Government to husband the national resources as much as possible, for the purpose of keeping the country in that condition which was best suited to enable her to maintain her honour, her integrity, and the security of her general interests. * - ; Mr. HOBHOUSE, in a speech of great length, sup- ported the original motion, and urged the pro- priety of this nation, at once seconding the Spaniards against the designs of France. Sir W. DE CRESPIGNY, Mr. BANKES, Lord F. GOWER, and Mr. H. SUMNER were in favour of neutrality, and supported the amendment. Mr. BARING supported the original motion. Mr. WTL B E RFORC E was for the amendment; but he regretted that a higher moral tone bad not been maintained by the British Ministers in the late negociations. The debate was then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. The adjourned debate on the Foreign Relations of the Country was resumed. Mr. W. WOLRYCHE WHITMORE rose, and stated that his object in trespassing a short time on the attention of the House, Was to explain the motives which influenced him in giving the vote he intended on the motion before the House. In stating- those reasons, he should not say that it was the policy of this country to embark in war, still less that it was her policy to hold out a menace, which it was not her intention to follow up. His decision was not founded on either of these considerations, but it was founded on the fact, that through the whole of those documents which had been submitted to Parliament, he was wholly unable to discover one proof. of that sound, open, manly, and indepen- dent feeling, which became Great Britain, against given with respect to the question of Naples. On that occasion he had voted with His Majesty's Mi- ; nisters, and never had felt a- more unceasing regret than he did for having so voted. It was, however, his honest conviction at the time, but he repented of that decision now, because he considered that interference with Naples as the commencement of that system, the progress of which would, he feared, be the mos* fatal to the interests and hap- piness of States that ever got into the heads of Kings and Emperors. It was altogether subversive of the rights ot independence, incompatible with all the aeknowle. dg- ed principles ot- national law, and had, he feared, got such an ascendancy at present, that, like all men feeling their strength, these Sovereigns would begin, to abuse it; and though at first restricting their attacks to Governments where there was an excess of popular freedom, would, in the end. direct their attacks against, every free and constitutional institution. From aggressions on free constitutions, - tlm next- transition, in the pleni- tude of power, would be to territorial aggrandize- ment. It might be said in answer to such appre- hensions, that the jealousy of each Power would reciprocally secure Europe from such aggrandize- ment. Had those who confided in such a security the atrocious aggression contemplated b^ France against the freedom of Spain. It was not his inten tion to g- o through the details of that correspon- dence, but looking at it as a whole, he must say that the Right Hon. Gent. ( Mr. Canning) and his colleagues appeared, with respect to France and Spain, not in the character of neutrals, but, unfor- tunately, as the allies, or, at least, the apologists of Trance. Looking at the whole of the negociations, he could not help arriving at the conclusion, that the British Government viewed the cause of France more as their own cause than that of Spain. He felt himself called upon to add a few words as to the Holy Alliance, because he was that night about to give a vote which might otherwise appear incon- sistent with that which on a former occasion he had never heard of coalitions for the purposes of parti- tion ? Was it to be expected that in the plenitude of power the Sovereigns of the Holy Alliance would stop short in their career? History had recorded the policy of one great Northern Povver. W he re- eve r the ambitious Catherine had determined to realize her views of territorial ag- graiuiizemeut, whether in Sweden or Poland, it was her covert policy to embroil in war adjacent States. When those great Powers, Russia and Prussia, combined for selfish purposes, it was easy for them to produce revolutionary movements in any State, in order to give a. colour, on the principle of the casus foederis, for their appropriation of its soil. He had wished for the opportunity of stating his conviction, not that the country ought to have engaged in war, but that it should have manifested a manly and inde- pendent feeling tlie moment the object of Frauce was discovered. That determined tone it was now too late to expect from Ministers ; but he trusted it would be manifested by a strong division of that House, and by a loud expression of the public voice ; a determined tone which we were prepared to uphold, at whatever risk and under every peril, in supporting the cause of the aggrieved and the oppressed ag- ainst the oppressor. For the free, though weaker States, Great Britain ought to be the rampart against the aggressions of the powerful and the unprincipled. Thmigh solicitous for peace, he still was convinced we possessed spirit and resources to carry ns through any; vicissitude with honour and security. Mr. DESBROWE supported the amendment of Mr. Stuart Wort- ley ; and Captain MABERLY was for the original motion. Mr. CURWEN said, that when he and his Honour- able Friends near him had been for two years com- plaining of the distress of the country, he did not see how they could now blame Ili's Majesty's Mi- nisters for having endeavoured to avoid war. An Honourable Friend of his near him ( Mr. Hobhouse) had said:. last night that the majority of his con- stituents vfcere ready to incur any difficulties to carry on a vl- ar in support of Spain. Now he ( Mr. Curwen) must say that his constituents desired no such . thing ; and he firmly believed that then- Opinion was the opinion of the country at large. No man could doubt that the conduct of France was g- eneraily execrated, yet the idea of our going- to war was as generally considered a very awful thing. He- should' not have acted honestly if he had not thus frankly spoken his sentiments, and lie should certainly g'ive the amendment of the Hon. Member for Yorkshire his cordial and hearty concurrence. Mr. ROBERTSON and Mr. J. WILLIAMS were in favour of the original motion. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER ( Mr.. Robinson) defended the conduct of Ministers, and maintained that every endeavour short of an actual threat of war, had been used by His Majesty's Ministers to prevent the course of policy adopted by France and the other Allied Powers. In proof that his Majesty's Government had all along- op- posed fhe dangerous projects of the Allies, the j Right Hon. Gent, referred to the two last para- graphs of the confidential minute of the late Lord Castlereagh, On the affairs of Spain, and addressed to the Courts of Austria, France, Prussia, and Russia, in May, 1820. They were as follow : — " In this alliance, as in all other human arrange- " ments, nothing1 is more likely to impair or even ' 4 to destroy its real utility, than any attempt to " push its duties and its obligations beyond the' u sphere which its Original conception and under-* C( stood principles will warrant. It was an union ( i for the reconquest and liberation of a great pro- " portion of the continent of Europe from the " military dominion of France : and having sub- cf dued tiie Conqueror, it took the state of pos- " session, as established by the peace, under the " protection of the Alliance. It never was, how- i( ever, intended as an union for the government of { f the worl d, or for the superintendence of the internal " affairs of other States. We shaH be found in our " place when actual danger menaces the system of " Europe; but this country cannot, and will not, " act upon abstract and speculative principles of " precaution. The alliance which exists had no " such purpose in view in its original formation. " It was never so explained to Parliament; if it " had, most assuredly the sanction of Parliament " would never have been given to it; and it would ( i now be a breach of faith, were the Ministers of i( the Cfown to acquiesce in such a construction C( being put upon it, or were they to suffer them- u selves to be . betrayed into a course of measures, " inconsistent' with those principles which they < c avowed at the time, and which they have since " uniformly maintained at home and abroad."— From this extract ( said Mr. Robinson) it would appear that wo had all along determined to object to any interference with territorial possessions, and that we had never in any way contemplated, much less favoured any aggression upon Spain. I am ( said the Right Hon. Gent.) the more anxious to call the attention of the House to these extracts, j because it has been said here, and elsewhere, that j their Noble Author ( Lord Castlereagh) was in league with the Despots of Europe. I felt a strong prin- ciple of attachment to him; I knew the sterling- nature of his mind ; I venerated the qualities of his heart; I respected his talents ; and I think 1 have a true estimate of theservices which he. had rendered to his country. Never, perhaps, was there a Mi- nister in England whose character has been more constantly or more completely misrepresented. He had to conduct the Foreign Affairs of this country under circumstances., I will venture to say, of as great difficulty as it ever fell to the lot of man to contend with. I had many opportunities of seeing- how he met them, of observing how admirably, by the decision of his character and the equanimity of his temper, lie could check angry passions, and stem the impulse of irritated feelings, or combat and overthrow prejudices that were almost in- vincible." The Right Hon. Gent, concluded by observing, that he was con vinced the policy of this country was to avoid war, and that this was the feeling- of the nation. Upon these grounds be an- ticipated that the House would reject the Address which had beeu proposed, and not agree to consign Government to condemnation on the ground that they had neglected the honour and interest of the country in the late arduous neg- ociations. Mr. Secretary PEEL, as a Member of the Admi- nistration, defended himself and colleagues from the censures which had been heaped upon them on account of the late negociations. The. real questions were, whether the Government of Spain, the voice of the people of England, the faith of treaties, or the interest or the honour of the country, required us to g- o to war ? To these questions he could boldly reply that they did not. What reason, then, was there for criminating the Government because it had not. gone to war? The Right Hon. Gent, con- cluded a long and brilliant speech ( in the course of which he condemned the conduct of France) by observing that he thought the House ought to adopt the language of the amendment, and assure His Majesty? that when a case occurred which should require it, the House would at all times be ready to adopt such measures as were necessary to maintain the national faith and support the honour of the Crown. At present the policy of neutrality was that which England ought to pursue, and which would maintain for her that peace which, though not essential to our existence, vet, after the ae rangementof all interests, and the sufferings con sequent on a war of 25 years' duration, it was the system which it was infinitely the best for the country to adopt. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said he could not but ex- press his satisfaction at the unanimity of sentiment which prevailed in the House on the question of the conduct of France towards Spain ; for though he certainly anticipated much of what he had heard on that ( the Opposition) side of the House, vet he was not prepared fur that universal expression of sentiment which had taken place; and whatever the vote of the House might be? there could be no doubt entertained in Europe of the feeling which universally prevailed, and the light in which the cohduct of France was viewed in this country. The Hon. Bart/ proceeded at great length, and with much eloquence, to condemn the policy of the Allied Powers, as well as the manner in which the British Ministry had conducted the late negoci- . ations; and after observing that lie was quite as well pleased ( excepting only the effect of one or two words) with the spirit of the amendment moved as with that of the original motion, declared that he considered the interests of Spain and of England to have been not considered, but compromised, in the late negociations with France. He appre- hended no other result, if the contest between Spain and France was prolonged, bat that England would be compelled to go to war in the end, under disadvantages which would uot have attached to her in the beginning-. The debate was then again adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. PUNISHMENT OF WHIPPING. The Hon. H. G. BENNET moved for leave to bring iu a Bill to abolish the punishment of Whipping, which, he said, was the last relic of barbarous punishments, and for which a more efficacious and less degrading punishment mig- ht be substituted.— Mr. CURWEN, Mr. HOBHOUSE, Dr. LUSHINGTON, and other Members, supported the motion.— The ATTORNEY- GENERAL, Mr. S. BOURNE, MI-. PEEL, and other Members, opposed the motion, observing that the punishment of whipping was more dreaded by hardened offenders than any other punishment authorized iu minor offences.— Oii a division, the motion was rejected hy a majority of 70 to ii?. FOREIGN RELATIONS The adjourned debate was again resumed.— The Right Hon. C. W. VV. WYNN defended the conduct ofthe British Government. He observed, in the course of his address, that had the British Ministry menaced without effect, they would have enabletl their opponents to have said, —' by thus committing- yourselves you have been left no choice. You have degraded England by an unredeemed menace — you have deceived Spain by holding out hopes, which it was uot your intention to realise.' The Right Hon. Gent., condemned the policy of France, and concluded by expressing bis hope that cir- cumstances would not drive us into hostility, and his conviction that, if it should prove, otherwise, the spirit of the country would enable us to acquit ourselves as gloriously as we had done in the last great contest iu which we had been engaged. Mr. VV. PEEL, Lord PALMERSTON, Mr. 11. Twiss, and Mr. LITTLETON defended, and Mr. LEICESTER, Col. DAVIES, and Lord FOLKSTONE, censured the conduct of Ministers. Mr. CANNING rose, and defended himself and colleagues at great length. — Mr. BROUGHAM fhen addressed the House, and in forcible language condemned the conduct of the Allied Powers. In conclusion, he called upon Mr. Macdonald to with- draw his motion for an Address. Mr. MACDONALD consented to this suggestion ; but Mr. CANNING said, he should not, after having been censured and lectured for three nights by the Gentlemen opposite, consent to such a proposition. A division was, accordingly, persisted in. Several of the Opposi- tion Members endeavoured to get out of the House, and all of them wished to avoid the division, but the doors were locked. The Speaker then directed those who were for the amendment to go into the Lobby, on which the Opposition Members also rushed into the Lobby, so that it was filled, and several Members who were for the Amendment were obliged to remain in the House. This cailsed an appearance of a division when in fact there was none. The numbers were at length announced to be— for the original motion 20— for Mr. Stuart Wortley's amendment 372.— Majority iu favour of Ministers 352. FRANCE AND SPAIN. In the late debatcon Lord Ellenborough's motion for a censure on the British Ministry, for not interfering with sufficient vigour in the laic nego- tiations relative to Spain, Karl GREY warmly supported the observations of Lord Elleiiborough. When the policy of our supporting Spain against tiie aggressions of Bonaparte, was under the con- sideration of Parliament, in 1810, the following opinion was given by Earl Grey, in the House of Peers, and its perusal niav be interesting to our readers at Ibe present moment. OPINION OF EARL GREY ON TIIE POLICY OF SUPPORTING SPAIN AGAINST FRANCE. — JUNE 13, 1810. " I cannot concede to the sentiments of the Noble Marquis ( Welleslev), the inference which his de- clarations assumed, that, in order to warrant this country to embark in a military co- operation with Spain, nothing more was necessary than to shew that tier cause teas just. Iu my mind, my Lords, in passing judgment, upon such a policy, it was not enough that the attack of France upon the Spanish Nation was unprincipled, perfidious, and cruel; that the resistance of Spain was dictated by every motive honourable to human nature; that it made every English heart bum with a holy zeal to lend its assistance against the oppressor.— There were other considerations of a less brilliant and enthu- siastic, but not less necessary and commanding nature, which should have preceded the determina- tion of putting to hazard the most valuable interests of the country. It is not, my Lords, with nations as with individuals. Those " heroic virtues which shed a lustre upon individual man, must, in their application to the conduct of nations, be chastened by reflections of a more cautious and calculating cast. Nations cannot afford to be chivalrous and romantic. Before they engage in any enterprize which is to be supported by the exertions and the energies ofthe People; it is the duty of the Govern- ment to see, firstj that there exist the means of rendering thein effectual; secondly, that there is a sufficient policy to warrant the application of those means; and, lastly, that there are grounds of probability to induce a hope of success.— Before we embarked an army, with the view of assisting the war in Spain, we should have felt the necessity of ascertaining whether there was a Government in Spain capable of affording such efficient support to the dispositions of the People, and to our efforts for their assistance, as was likely to bring the contest to a successful termination. " It was incumbent upon us to be informed whe- ther there existed resources sufficient to supply a British army with those necessary provisions, with- out which no military operation could have been expected to prove successful. We should have duly considered whether we were not liable to be left without the required support, by being treated as principals in the war; and whether, in fact, Spain herself was not destitute of those means with- out which no war can he carried on. " I allege it as matter of charge against his Majesty's Ministers, that they have iudulged feel- ings, which, however honourable when considered abstractedly, ought never to be gratified at the expense of a nation's most valuable interests— and that in yielding to the influence of such feelings they have rashly embarked in expeditions the most fatal and disastrous, and from which it is impossible to anticipate or effect any advantageous result to the country." On Monday last, about one o'cluck in the dav, a poor mendicant fell down against the west eiid of the Cathedral Church of Ely, and, before medical assistance could be procured, expired. The ground be died on belonged to the Rev. the Dean and Chapter, and is extra parochial, con- sequently the expense of burying him fell upon that Rev. Body. He had begged his way from London, and was, according to his own account, on his journey to Lynn, to crave assistance from the Mayor of that Borough, who in his prosperous days had been well known to him ; hut death arrested his progress. He arrived at Ely on the Friday previous, and declared to a person of whom lie craved charity, that he had uot partaken of any food for three days and nights. With the alms he gained in Ely he procured a night's lodging, and the woman of the house, perceiving the deplorable state of her inmate, called ill the parish doctor the next morning, who desired her to apply to the overseer for money to purchase meat with, and she must make him a little broth. The woman did apply, but was ' refused!!!' The result was, the poor fellow was turned into the street without receiving the nourishment he stood in need of. He lingered the Sunday night at other lodgings; and on the Monday morning was proceeding 011 his way, but had not walked many yards before nature became exhausted! he caught hold of the rails, fell down and expired. The deceased was a Welshman, his name James Evans; he had been a coal and slate merchant, aud owner of a vessel. A case was dccidcd by the Justices of the Peacc at Montrose, 011 Monday last, which excited con- siderable amusement. A barber brought an action against a gentleman for 9s. 6d. sterling, for goinf to his house and shaving him at threepence each time. The charge was disputed oil various grounds, particularly the alteration in the value of the currency, occasioned by the passing of Mr. Peel's Bill. The gentleman was most particular in staling the " war price" of shaving, which, he maintained, was lower than that now charged in time of peace. Much eloquence was displayed by the defendant. The plaintiff, as is not the case with barbers in general, said but little. The Jus- tices thought the charge moderate, even in peacc- alde times, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with expenses. Proportion of different Classes in the National Income.— Inconsequence of our insular position, our canals, and our mines, Ihe proportion of our national income, derived from manufacture and irnde, is great- er than in most other countries. The following table is taken, as far as regards its plan, a publica- tion by Mr. Gray: bill it is subjected to several modifications, arising, iu one respect, from the hue population returns, in another, from the fall in ibe price of commodities. Great Britain, distinct from Ireland : Agriculturists and all engaged iu the supply of subsistence, whether landlords, farmers, or labourer?. Income, £ 70,000,000. Proportion lo lite whole na- tional income,. 30 per cent. Manufacturers and all persons occupied in making clothing and hardware. Income, £ 46,000,000. Pro" portion fo Ihe whole national income, 20 per cent. Mechanics, masons, and all engaged in supplying houses and furniture. Income, £ 23,000,000. Pro" portion to the whole national income, 10 per cent. The professional classes, viz. lawyers, clergy, me- dical men, artists, and teachers; also domestic ser- vants. Income, £ 30,000,000. Proportion to the whole national income, 17 per cent. The army, the navy, the civil servants of govern- . nient, the annuitants drawing an income from our dividends: all, in short, who are paid through the medium of taxes. Income, £ 46,000,000. Propor- tion to the whole national income, 20 per cent. * The classes receiving parish and charitable aid. Income, £ 6,000,000. Proportion lo national incotnej 3 per cent. Total — Income, £ 230,000,000, The sum allotted to the agricultural classes has unfortunately, not heen earned by them in this season of depression : but the case must," ere long, alter ; and in a table intended to be referred lo for years, ii'is fir. to keep temporary irregularities out of sight. In- Ireland the distribution of productive industry is very different from that of England: were it added to our estimate, there would be a great augmentation of the agricultural proportion.

Such is the comparative amount of our nations! property in 1812— 1822, when represented in money of Ihe respective years. But were the real value I'O be calculated, the balance would he in favour of the present year. GAOL DISCIPLINE.— A bill was read a thud time, and passed the House of Commons on the 25th whic' nit. for amending Ihe Laws relating to Gaols, „„, uw contain some very Important improvements iu Gaol- discipline. The Hill repeals Ihe whole, or parts, of twenty- four former Acts, so far as relates to prisons to which this Act is to he applied, aud then lays down 25 new Regulations respecting the residences of the Gauler and the Matron ( who is to superintend the female prisoners) in each Gaol, and their daily inspection of the prisoners; a record of punishment's and occurrences; conipellance of Ihe prisoners to perform their hard labour; total separation of Males and Females, who are lo be confined in separate buildings or parts of the Prison, so as to prevent them from seeing, conversing, or holding intercourse with each other ; and each sex 10 be divided inlo dis- tinct classes, care beingtaken that prisoners of the fol- lowing classes do not intermix with each oilier,— first debtors; then prisoners convicted offclonies; prisoners covicted of misdemeanours ; prisoners committed on suspicion of felony ; prisoners committed 011 sus- picion of misdemeanours; vagrants; and prisoners intended to be examined as witnesses in behalf of any prosecution, shall also be kept separate • total number of classes, 14.— Prisoners are to lie employed in the household work of the build- ing ; female prisoners In all cases to be attended hy female officers; Prayers, selected from the Liturgy of the Church of England, lo be read daily; pro- vision to be made for the instruction of all'prison- ers, in reading and writing; all to attend Bivine service on the Sabballi, for the performance of which Chaplains are to lie appointed hy Justices.

No spirits ever allowed, and only a regu- lated quantity of beer, Stc.; no gaining; no garnish or other money to he taken ; Ihe Coroners, Justices, and nearest relations, to have notice of all deaths. Reports are to be made at each Sessions and Assizes, aud to Ibe Secretary of Stale; Visiting Justices to be appointed, but any Justice may visit and report; prisoners 011 their discharge to be assisted lo their homes.
