WORMS are the cause of many inter- nal afflictions, which vary so much ill their effects that they may be mistaken by the most ' eminent physician, and prove equally fatal to the constitutions of adults and children; though the . latter more extensively suffer from their destructive ravages. Their more usual symptoms are Fits, Pains in ihe Stomach, Side, and Head, Loss of Appetite, and Pale, Languid, and Emaciated Ap- pearance in the Patient. The extraordinary efficacy of CHING's PATENT WORM LOZENGES in all such complaints, as well as obstructions iu the bowels, and every disorder where opening or cleans- iutr physic is required, is so universally known, and has been publicly acknowledged by so many persons of distinction and rank in society, that il is unneces- sary here to enlarge oil their peculiar virtues.

These letters mention it as the general opinion at Gib- raltar., that \\} f win- will very shortly be terminated ; the divisions and treasons of the Spaniards them- selves, entirely taking awajj spiv hope of effectual resistance being opposed t, o the French aims. The last accounts from Greece faroi& h more than the usual proportion of horrors. Upon the pretext of some cruelties said to have been com- mitted by a dfetachrnent of Ipsariots, who lately lauded at Smyrna, in order to operate a diversion in favour of their fellow- patriots of the Morea, the Turks commenced a new jyassacre at Pergama, destroyed all the cotton plantations, and burned twenty- four villages, carrying the women and children Into slavery, and murdering 8,000 of the males. The dis- en\ haiRation at Smyrna appears, however, to have had the effect which, wag designed, for a large Turkish force was, in consequence of it, sent into Asia Minor. On the 13th of last month, a fire broke out in the neighbourhood of Costini, one of the suburbs of Constantinople, which reached to tiie arsenal ; 2,500 hou^ s were consumed. Soon after the five caugh^ tlie arsenal, the Turks had the mortifica- tion to see consumed a ship of 74 guns, 2 corvettes, 5 brigs, and 100 vessels of all sizes. A letter from Pcruambuco of the 22d of June states, that Lord Cochrane, in consequence ot' a mutiny among the sailors of Jhe; || ra% ilian squad- ron, had been compelled to dismantle and lay up some of his ships, and that he remained at sea with only one mau ' of war and a frigate— a force too weak for the attack he had meditated on the Portuguese geet. On the 16th affairs at Bahia continued In the same state, but ammunition and supplies of food had been got in. General Madeira felt quite confident that he could maintain the place.-— Accounts from Maranham stated, that the interior was in a very distressed Condition. Ireland, we rejoice to say, begins to show symp- toms of returning tranquillity, '^ he outrages have been for some weeks perceptibly' subsiding. On the other hand, a uew and improved practice has, wit| l the avowed sanction of the Lord Lieutenant, and under | he strong and repeated recommendation of the fudges going the Circuit, been adopted by the County Magistrates, for the adjustment of tjiinor differences and the coguizance of trifling offences. The measure we speak of is the holding of the Petty Sessions, where four or five Justices of a particular district assemble, and hear those complaints which had beeu formerly brought before a single Magistrate.

SAMPSON " PERRY— Few per- sons have experienced more of the vicissitudes of life than the above Gentleman He was originally an A « my Surgeon, afterwards became a Professor in Town, and thade those, distressing disorders, ihe stone and gravel,. on whjch he, published a ' r « - atis, e. his oeeufis » r study. tV e:: I;; Citrne t onnHcten ith the Public Press, both as Editor and Proprietor t" different Newspapers ; but not Iwing possessed of that virtue, which indeed seldom accompanies men f genios, viz. Rnidcnee, his affairs became- embar- assed, and lie yjas eompe! t|>' o" to" take refuge in Whiteeross street Prison, till some plan could he ranged for their settlement, and ou Tuesday se'n- ght he was" ordfif- d to attend in the Insolvent Debtor's Court. On his way to Westminster for tat purpose, the turnkey who accompanied him I lowed him to call and see his \ MtV, an aged ' lady, ving in Southampton- street, - Bloomsbury, where he ad held a house for 22 yew's. Having'taken some refreshment, he proceeded to the Court, and no pposing creditor appearing, he was declared enti- tled to his discharge. He returned from the Court n very good spiiits, to Southampton- street, merely to dinner, as the officer who accompanied him was u- dered to take him back to prison, from whence, 011 he following Wednesday, he would'have been dis- charged, had he lived Mrs. Perry had prepaied some dinner, tp which he sat down, laughing, and making some hiimorous observation— but, just as he was conveying some food to his month, he fell back s chair, exclaiming—" Lord, have mercy upon and instantly expired ! Surgeons were sent for, hut their efforts were unavailing— the vital spark had fled-; arid, oil examining the body internally, it was discovered his death was occasioned by the rupture of the main artery of the heart. He was78 years of age, and a gentleman stated to the Jury, who. held an inquest on the body, that his life was fiill of vicissitudes : he had been opulent, and extremely poor; he had had friends, and was bereft of them; and he had had many narrow escapes with his life, in situations of imminent peril and times of great danger, one of which the gentleman instanced. Curing'the French Revolution he was confined nine S in French prisons; and during the reio » of Robespierre he was confined with Thomas Paine, and was . by that ferocious assassin condemned to death, without the then thought unnecessary form of trial. He escaped his dreadful doom bv the following singularly fortunate'eiieumstauce :— his prison or II door was LYUNG iipon a swivel, aud by the least motion would turn round any way.— The cus- tom was to mark wilh red chalk the doors of the cells of those who were condemned to death, and his ' door was markf d ; but the turnkey leaving ihe cell iu the morning appointed for the execution, acci- lentaliy let the door lorn round, not ohseiving hy his motion the WJJS reversed, and the " mark of death" was inside instead of being out, and before he noticed the circumstance the oificeis of execution arrived, and took from every cell marked with red chalk the victims of revolutionary fury, but pereeiv- Mr. Perry's cell no't marked., they passed it ; and when the gaoler again eaihe round and opened the door, he vvj'. s thunderstruck on fiuding Mr. Perry and Paine alive ; but ere he had time to apprise any person he was shot by so ine of the infuriated mob, who had just burst open the prison, and who liber- ated the captives just as the monster Robespierre was led bleeding to the scaffold. The Jury reinrned a VeWjic't'oif ^ Died by the Visitation of God.'''' Collectors of Taxes.— A very important docu- ment Has lately issued from the Office of Taxes, addressed to the select vestry, churchwardens, and overseers of parishes where arrears have arisen in consequence of the neglect of collectors of taxes not enforcing and paying the sums due from their re- spective tithings.— After stating the powers of the 43d Geo. III. cap. 99, sec. 42, which authorises " the select vestry, churchwardens, and overseers, to require of . the collectors, in their several parishes, an account iii writing ( after 14 days' notice) of the sums received by such collectors, of the sums in arrear, of the sums remaining in hand, and also of the sums paid by him or them lo the Recei ver General; or in default of rendering such account, subjecting such collector so refusing the same to a penalty of tweuiy pounds it also refers to the 43d Geo- III. cap. 161, stating that the parish or place a shall he answerable for the amount of the duties charged thereon, and also fur the said duties heing'duly demanded within ten days after the same are payable: and every arrear of the said duties, arising from the default or failure of the collectors, shall be re- assessed on such parish or place." A statement of the arrear in each tithing is furnished; and the select vestry and parish officeis are required to examine into Liu- ciiu » e thereof, and obtain from the collector of such tithing, so in arrear an account in writing, as stated in the - 4th GKO. ] Jf. e 99, which is to be sent to the district surveyor, in order that immediate steps may be taken to ob'aiu an extent against the said collector or collectors u ho shall not forthwith pay the monies' in their fi'inds; as the Act directs, and that the parish may be discharo- ed from the assessment. SHREWSBURY. LONDON— SATURDAY; An express, which arrived this day at no6n$ brings the important intelligence, lhat on the even- ins: of the 14th, ihe Spanish Ambassador at Paris received an express, announcing the release of King Ferdinand. The particulars were not known; but little doubt is entertained that this information is correct. The King, it is said, was surrendered to the French Genera! on the con- dition, that the Members of the Co lies should be allowed to withdraw ' wh. itlicrsoeVer they should think proper. v The submission of Ballasteros, and of his army of 7001) men, is; confidently repeated in the last accounts; and it is added, that the celebrated Chieftain,- Man so, has gone over to the enemy. He has surrendered to Marshal the Doke de Cprne- g llano, with a squadron of 150 men. Lisbon papers, received to the 30th ult. shew, . notwithstanding the apparent unanimity with which the counter- revolution was effected, that there are still the elements of discord fermenting in that country, and that no slight fears were enter- tained of the necessity of calling in foreign aid. Mr. Lionel Harvey, late Secretary of Legation at Madrid, is going out immediately at the head of a Commission to Mexico, with powers which cannot fail from their extent and importance- to put the British Government in possession of the actual state of that fertile country. There can be little doubt of this inquiry and negotiation leading to an intimate connection between Mexico and this country, a subject on ' which the former has ex- pressed herself m Ihe most pressing terms of solici- tude. It is stated from Vienna, that the failure of Lord Strang ford, iu his negotiations with the Porte, has already excited some movements in the Cabinet of St. Petersburg!); and tfiat the Turks are now di- recting their forces towards the Danube. The King of Prussia has assented to introduce representative assemblies into that monarchy ; and a committee, at the head of which is the Crown Prince, has been appointed to make the necessary preparations, and to consult upon the measure with experienced men from each province.

LotiUny, Monday A iglit, .• ilugust 18, 1S23 This forenoon we received llie Etoite, Paris Paper of Saturday, and Jhe t'itute of yesterday Ity express. They do not contain any confirma- tion of the Telegraphic Dispatch from Bayonne, in Ihe MOnileur of Thursday, announcing the liberation of the King of Spain, and the cessation of hostilities before Cadiz. But although this intelligence is not authenticated, there is nothing in these papers to contradict it. It is probable that the next arrivals will dissipate all doubts on the subject. What may he the result of Ballasteros's defection, or to what necessity it may reduce the Cortes, we are not. prepared to say. It is affirmed in the El/ tile, that the Duke d'Angonleuie was to quit the head- quarters at Cordova, and proceed post to Cadiz. He was expected to arrive at Port St. Mary on the 16th. If tins Intelligence be correct, and if nothing is to he done lilt his Royal Highness's arrival, it will probably be a week or ten days before positive information can be transmitted to Paris. Meanwhile we may be prepared for all kinds of rumours. It seeins certain, that some relaxation has taken place in the hitherto rigorous treatment of the King and Royal Family. The cause of this lenity is not known: the consequence has been the confident declaration that Ferdinand wtrs free, that Cadiz had surrendered, and tlie Co. tfs were dissolved. Let it not be supposed, however, that even the actual occurrence of these events would be the termination of the business. Far from it. Spain is convulsed from one extremity to the other, and a country thus disorganised, has too maity flf the elements of a prolonged and desperate strife, to be charmed with repose by any single auspicious circumstance. There is no further intelligence from Corunna in these Papers, ejteept that active preparations were making to bom bard it. Ju Catalonia the war continues with unabating activity. His Grace the Doke of Wellington is expected to set oft' lo morrow for the Netherlands, upon bis annual mission to inspect the line of fortifications erecting along the frontiers of that territory. It is understood the present journey will be the last, as the fortifications are nearly completed. Accounts from Bahia of the 22d June state, that the Council had determined to evacuate the place on the - 29th of that month. A temporary supply of bullocks had reduced the price of beef, which at one time was 6s. per pound, to 2s. ( id. Public credit was totally destroyed. Intelligence had been received at Rio Janeiro, that Lima was again in possession of the Royalists. PRICE OF FUNDS AT THE CLOSE SHREWSBURY. tVEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1628.

On Thursday last, about three o'clock, the re- mains of the late Thomas Giffard, Esq. of Chilling- ton Hall, Staffordshire, were deposited in ihe family vault, in the chancel of the parish church of Bre- wood : the vault, it is said, has not been opened for the last half century. The concourse of people, both rich and poor, assembled on this occasion to pay their hist tribute of respect to this late worthy and good man, bear ample testimony ofthe high estimation in which he was held while living. Mr. Giffard was a Roman Catholic : and it must be highly gratifying'to the family to see that universal respect and esteem shewn by all denominations — whether Roman Catholic, Churchman, or Dissenter. In Mr. Gitt'ard's junior days, be aud the then Prince of Wales, ( his present Majesty,) were said to be the two nlost accomplished men in Europe, aud they were intimate friends. Among bis many good qualities, this will ever he remembered, that on the most trivial, as well asitpon the most important oc- casions, he was never known to forfeit his word: this, on all occasions, he held sacred as his bond. When com was 20s. per bushel and upwards, he never raised his rents, yet his tenants were not under lease, aud their rents extremely low.— The funeral procession left Chilliogton Hall about one o'clock, and proceeded down the beautiful avenue of oaks, at the slow and solemn pace usual on sueh occasions, and wc are told iu the following order : first, a Mourning Coach— the lleai- se— Six Mourn- ing Coaches— Carriage of the deceased— the nu- merous Tenantry 011 horseback, two and two— followed by the Carriages of several of the Nobility aud Gentry of the neighbourhood, among which were noticed those ofthe High Sheriff of Stafford- shire, James Hordern, Esq.

We have much gratification in stating from undoubted authority, that one of the first acts of their Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Sapieha ( late Miss Bold) after their arrival at Bold- hall from ( lie Continent, was to direct their agent, Mr Cookson, to make a further return, at Ihe present audit, to their numerous tenants on their home estates iu Bold, Bnrtouwood, Sutton, Raiiihill, and Widness, of 12| per cent, retrospectively, on al! payments made by them, on account of rents, commencing the- 2d day f February, 1822; which, iu addition to an allowance u 1818, of 20 per cent, for the purchasing of 111a- ilire, under the inspection of their- steward, made together a reduction of £ 32.10s. percent, per annum, to the great satisfaction and relief of a respectable tenantry, wbo, ill unison with their fellow- labourers 11 every part of the United Kingdom, have borne witfi lienee accumulated distress for years past,— Gore's Liverpool Advertiser. LYTHAM.— This village was all alive 011 Thurs- day week, in consequence of the tenantry of John Clifton, Esq. having- assembled to receive a return of £ 20 per cent, from last year's rent of their respective farms, with an understanding that the same reduction would he made in future years. On this occasion, the tenantry invited Mr. Benhow, Mr. Clifton's agent, to a grand dinner at the lifton Anns Hotel, where Mrs. Litlyman served up a most sumptuous feast in excellent style, with wine of the best quality. Mr. Benbow was at the head of the table, and when tile cloth was drawn, the health of the King wasdrank with enthusiasm ; after which followed, in separate bumpers, that of each member of the Clifton family and Mr. Benbow, with three times three to every toast. The number of farmers who met on this occasion was 93 ; and all shewed, hy their ruddy and cheerful counte- nances, that however hard the times, they have neither ruined the health nor broken the spirits of the native sons of Britain's favoured soil.— The Blackburn band was in attendance, ttud gave many national and appropriate airs in good style.— For the improvement ot this desirable watering- place, Mr. Clifton is about to make a level drive along the beach from the Star Hills to the village. On Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr Whateley, Coroner, 011 view of the body of M r. Lees, of Castle Bromtvich, who was unfortunately killed by a fall front his horse in Great Brooke- street, Asiited, Birmingham, between twelve and one o'clock 011 the same morning. It appeared in evidence that th u: eli 111a 11 heard some one ride violently down the street on horseback, and on approaching, he ob- served the body of the deceased lying ou its face quite dead. On examining the spot il was evident that Mr. Lees bad rode over a heap of stones lying in the road, by which lie was thrown oft'with such violence as to occasion immediate death. His face was found lunch injured, tin rim of his hat front completely cut off, and his neck dislocated. It would seem that the stone's, collected for the purpose of repairs, bail been thrown down at least two or three feet from the cause way, aud had subsequently extended three or four feet into the road. We trust this fatal occurrence will act as a caution to those employed iu depositing materials of Ihe kind on the road side, and induce greater care oil this head, hy ulii.- h we teei satisfied many accidents might he avoided. The verdict re- turned hy the Jury was accidental deaih. . . [ FROM A LONDON PAPER.] If the project for laying down a broken stone road, vice the present stone pavements in the streets of London, should succeed, the convenience of such an arrangement will be very great indeed The pavement, besides being from the unevenness of its surface necessarily unfavourable to draught, shakes the horses to pieces that are driven rapidly over it. it is well known that a pair of carriage horses receive more injury upon the stones in one year, than they would get in three years driven upon the road; and riding upon horseback about town, as the streets arc at present, : is always iu convenient, anil in many places dangerous. The idea of substituting roads for pavements seems to have been an old speculation with Mr. M'Adam sen.; and Mr. William M'Adam, who says that he has carried it into effect with perfect success upon a very awkward hill in Exeter, adds lhat the example has been followed at Bristol and in other places. If the plan should succeed, Lancashire and Cheshire will have cause to pray. for the inventor, for the existing chnussee of those'.' counties is of all tracks to mo e upon dec- Mcdly the very worst, In town the thing would be better than evtu the iron paving which was lately attempted; for, be. sides removing other inconveniences, the abate Mi en I of noise which it would produce would be 110 inconsiderable benefit: the report of the Commons Committee spaaks in very sanguine terms of this proposed improvement, and Mr. M'Adam's pro- jects generally ; and concludes by recommending " the payment of his account for expenses, to- gether with a grant of £ 2000 or £- 2500 for his great exertions and very valuable services." WALES. MARRIED. On the 5th inst. at Wiucheisea, the Rev. Thomas Richards, Vicar of Icklesham, in the county of Sussex, to Anne Corbet, daughter of tlie late Edward Corbet, Esq. of Yynysymaengwyn, North Wales. On the 18th inst. at WVexham, Mr. William Roberts, of Liverpool, to Lydia, second daughter of Mr. John Edwards, of the former place. DIED On the 10th inst. at her mother's house, Eldon- place, Liverpool, Mrs. Kendall, wife of the Rev. John Kendall, of Wrexham. MAD DOGS—— Three or four individuals, we are imformed, have been bitten hy one of these rabid animals, in the neighbourhood of Llanfyllin, within the last 3 or 4 weeks; and one person, we regret to state, died on Tuesday se'nnight inconsequence, every effort to save him having proved ineffectual. We have great pleasure in recording another instance of Lord Gwydir's liberality towards his tenantry. At his Lordship's late rent day, he further lowered his rents 30 per cent, making in the whole the very great reduction of 72 percent. Harvest has commenced in the Principality : several fields of corn have been cut in the vicinity of Carmarthen ; and two fields of barley ou Tregiby farm, in the parish of St. Mary's, Cardiganshire, were cut on Saturday se'nnight. Miraculous Escape.— Lately, Evan Thomas, the servant of Mr. Henry John, Llwyn- yr- Ebol, in the parish of Llandysilio, Carmarthenshire, hap- pened to go too near a lime- stone quarry, at Tem- pleton, Pembrokeshire, wdien he, and the cart, and a team of three horses, were precipitated to the bottom, where there was a vast quantity of water. The height of the precipice ( including 15 feet of water) is more than 20 feet. Almost miraculously, through the kindness of Divine Providence, the boy came up alive, and is now quite well. It is true, one of the horses was drowned, but this is not so astonishing as the escape of the other horses* The animals were saved by the laudable exertions of William Wheeler, a young man from the parish already mentioned, who swam into the middle of the pool, and extricated them. THE ASSIZES FOR DENBIGHSHIRE com- menced on the 9th inst. The Chief Justice and Ser- jeant Marshall having- stopped at Wynnstay, the hospitable mansion of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, on their way from Welshpool, the Commission was opened and read, pro forma, by Mr. Hill, the Attor ney General, on the first mentioned day; and on Monday, the Judges having arrived, the Court was regularly opened ; the Grand Jury sworn, of which Sir Watkin was foreman ; and business commenced : there were, however, but 2 prispners of any de- scription for prosecution, and one of these was dis- charged without trial, the other convicted of petty larceny, and punished by imprisonment.— As usual, the civil list of causes afforded nothing of the sliylitest public interest.— On Monday evening, Sir David Erskine, the High Sheriff, gave a bail, at which a large assemblage of the gentry of the county at- tended. A cause between landlord and tenant was brought to issue previous to these Assizes, wherein Mr. Roberts, of Astrad, was plaintiff, and Robert Roberts, lite of Nant ucha, in the parish of Henllan, defendant. It appears that the defendant bad been for 13 or 14 ears tenant to the plaintiff, under a lease for 21 years, which the plaintiff about 12 months ag" o, at the defendant's request and upon his complaint that the reserved rent was too high, agreed to cancel, and permitted the defendant to quit the farm. Before oing'so, however, he sold and carried off the manure nd the hay and straw remaining unconsumed, and left the premises in a bad state of repair. For these injuries an action was brought, which the defendant for a long- time determined to resist, but on further advice, and just before the day of trial, he thought proper to submit to such terms as should be granted to him, and the plaintiff's principal object being public example, and to convince the defendant that iiis conduct had been both ungrateful and illegal, agreed to accept of £ 50 damages, with full costs of suit. At the Assizes for RADNORSHIRE, held at Presteign, Ann Price was found guilty of stealing a lamb, and had sentence of death recorded against her ; Henry IVatlcins alias Henry Powell, was con victed of obtaining 25s. from Mr. E. L. James, solici tor, of Presteign, under false pretences, and sen- tenced to eight months' imprisonment.— John Ousen croft, charged with the manslaughter of Edward Bowen, near Rhayader, on the 25th June last, was acquitted. : There were no prisoners for trial at Dolgelly, nor a single cause entered. This is the second maiden Assize for Merionethshire in the same year! " HORRID MURDER IN CARNARVONSHIRE. 1 — Under the above title, a paragraph appeared in many of the Papers of last week, stating the death of a man, who with his wife were the sole inmates of cottage on the Bangor Ferry road ; that the man and his wife lived on bad terms generally ; that on the morning of the 7th instant, a noise as of two persons struggling' was heard in the cottage above- mention ed; that, on the door being, some hours after, forced open by the neighbours, the man was discovered with his throat dreadfully cut; that a Coroner's Inquest was held, when evidence was given that the woman had remained in the house by herself four hotirs afte the man's death, having in. that time washed his shirt and her own shift, lifted the body from the floor, closed the eyes, hound up the wound, wiped the ; izor, and mopped the floor; that 15 of the Coroner's Jury were for returning a verdict of wilful murder against the wife, but that the one finally returned was " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown, with strong- suspicions against the wife ;" and that the professional gentlemen examined were divided in opinion, the majority expressing their belief that the man could not have cut his own throat It was further stated that the man had cuts upon his face and hands ; that the woman bad also cuts on her arms, which she affirmed to have been occasioned by her endeavours to prevent her husband murdering himself; and that finally she was committed to Car narvon Gaol, charged with the murder. Thus far the paragraph to which we at first alluded.— We have to add, however, that the woman's name Manning; that she is respectably connected; tha at the Carnarvon Assizes, which commenced on Thursday last, a true bill was found against her by the Grand Jury; aud that on Friday her trial cauie and she was acquitted.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, HOLYHEAD, 16TII AUGUST. A Friend proceeding to London hy the Coach has promised to drop this in your Letter- Box. It contains some observations which, it is hoped, may operate as a febrifuge to the Dawpool fever, now raging with so much violence at Chester. You may ask me, probably, before I proceed further, that if actuated by so much charity, why not address myself to some of the Journals of that city ? to which I reply, that the Editors seem all to have catifeht the infection so strongly, as to make it un- safe to commit any panacea of the kind to their keeping, lest in a fit of passion they might destroy it, and thus deprive other patients labouring under the same disease of the benefit of its application. It will probably strike you, as it noes myself, Mr. Editor, that to make an Experiment of any value, it should be made upon such principles as BANGOR CATHEDRAL. To Contractors and Builders. CJUCH Persons as are disposed to Con- tract for the REPAIRS of the CATHEDRAL CHURCH at BANGOR, are requested to apply to Mr. HALL, Architect, Bangor, who will attend them to view the Fabric, and give them a Specific- ation of the Repairs required.— The Proposals must be delivered ( sealed) at the Registrar's Office, Bangor, before the 13th of September next, to JOHN ROBERTS, Esq.

PRS, Soli citors, Whitchurch, Sajop. could subsequently he maintained under every con tingeucy affecting- it; aiid in whatever degree it deviates from this rule, it loses in the same propor- tion that influence which it might otherwise pro- duce. Then, if the directors of the late Experiment from Dawpool have totally disreg- arded this neces- sary precaution, and proceeded upon a principle of forcing every thing jo the Utmost stretch of velocity, they nave evidently committed this palpable error, and so far injured,. rather than advanced the object of their wishes ; nor can they complain, if those who oppose themj,, excited hy such example, should adopt similar principles, a § the best means of ex- posing the delusion which a portion at least of the public might otherwise labour under. Then why, it may be naturally demanded, station a chaise and 4 horses at the Post- Office at Chester ? and why start them almost instantly on the arrival of the Mail, when a coach employed in the same duty, or without a' mai], must have waited at least half an hour? Why gallop off at the rate of four- teen or fifteen rnilcs an hour, towards Dawpool, when a mail or; other coach must have gone at the usual rate oPeight miles an hour in the same direc- tion ? and why ; again start the anchor the moment the MESSENGER arrived oil board, when 20 minutes at least, as with us, would have been necessary to embark passengers, luggage, carriages, &. c. Stc. These questions would probably be answered on the other side by a burst of passion or of abuse, as that seems to be a prevalent practice to stifle argu- ment ; but I shall anticipate any such repty best by stating, in the simple language of truth, that we could also have stationed a chaise and four horses at Bangor Ferry ; that they could have, with per- fect ease, travelling- over one of the best roads in Europe, crossed the Island in ONE HOUR AND A HALE J that by such accelerated pace, instead of arriving- at half past four, the LONDON MAIL would have reached this place at three o'clock ^ that if the Packet were THEN instantly dispatched for Howth, instead of WAITING FOR THE CHESTER MAIL UNTIL HALF PAST SIX, the. hour of departure, she must have gained full THREE AND A HALF hours7 time on the passage across, and instead of arriving at Howth at. five minutes past five, as she actually did, must have reached that port at 35 minutes past OX^ O'CLOCK, or within five minutes of ati hoiif IIEFORE the Mountaineer ! ! ! The facts with regard to the dispatch and arrival of our Packet, are taken from her Log'- book, and admitting that both accounts were correct, as to the arrival of the respective vessels on the other side, there would be no more than a difference of TWO HOURS AND THIRTY- FIVE MINUTES between each, but there is a discrepancy between this statement ( as was naturally to be expected) and that on the other side, for it may be seen that they carefully adhere to the ultimate arrival at the Post- Ojjice, which is readily explained by supposing, as • we know the fact to be, that the same celerity, prac- tised at Chester, was also used in dispatching the MESSENGER onwards; and as the regular Mail Coach was forwarded from Howth, 7 miles from Dublin, with no more than the usual dispatch, not regarding the g'rand Experiment with the slightest interest, the difference of 3 hours and 5 minutes, AS SWORN TO, instead of 2 hours and 35 minutes, is pretty satisfactorily accounted for. What becomes then, it may well be asked, of the TRIUMPHANT EXPERIMENT, as it is ridiculously called, which is to lower the reputation of Holy- head, and raise that of Dawpool so much in tlse estimation of the Public^? The facts here stated are altogether INCONTROVBRTIWLS J and therefore I leave tliehi,^ without commentary, to the dispas- sionate consideration of those to whom they are of most interest. IVe feel no apprehension here, con- scious of our own superiority over every other point of communication with Ireland, in PRACTICAL UTILITY, SECURITY, and DISPATCIJ. It may, however, be useful and satisfactory also to examine a few other facts bearing collaterally, upon this question. The first of these, of any im- portance, is to be found in the relative Steam power of the respective vessels aud in this case also there can be no doubt that, the advantage acquired by artificial velocity lay upon the other side j for while our PRESENT ESTABLISHMENT of Packets range from 60 to an 80 horse power, none higher, the Mountaineer is admitted by t. hje other party to be of ONE HUNDRED HORSE POWER, and thus it may fairly he supposed that much additional advantage must have been gained from this cause. As to the actual disparity qf. distance, nothing conclusive could be gathered, unless the vessels were precisely of similar, powers, and this allegation is convincingly supported by a contrast of the respective voyages ; for while the Mountaineer made the passage to Howth in 18 hours and 50 minutes ( by their own report), and our Packet in 10 hours and 35 minutes, shortening the ratio of a, double distance in favour- of Dawpool by f hour and 10 minutes, the former took hours in coming back ( that is, from 6 on Tuesday evening to § past 8 on Wednesday morn- ing), and the latter no more than seven hours and thirty- one minutes, increasing the ratio again to within 15 minutes of a double distance, the usual, and, we are well persuaded, the real computation. In the first instance, it is to be observed that both vessels moved against a strong adverse wind, in which case', without the slightest aid from sails, the strongest propelling power would assuredly gain the advantage, whereas in returning, with a far our- able iv in d,' and the assistance of sails, the benefit of this power would be materially lessened. This conclusion is at least the most rational one for ex plaining the difference referred to. With regard to the capacity of Steam power to affect an experiment of this kind, made under any circumstances of weather, it will be enough to re- mark that the ST. GEORGE would assuredh/ have performed the passages bask and forwards in from two to four hours less time than either of the vessels engaged ; and when it is recollected that Govern- ment are ever aliv£ to the necessity of placing all their Establishments upon the most efficient footing, we need not apprehend that, knowing this fact, from daily expeuence, they wilj gradually substitute ou this Statio^ such vessels a* will defy any success ful competition, especially after Kings town Harbour is completed, when any draught pi water m$ y b. e obtained on both sides, and without the obstruction of BAR BANK, or other impediment, as in the latter case at Howth,' where, in spring- tides, our Packets now have not always a sufficiency of water within the Pier- head. . Whether sucn obstacles as these are ever likely to impede, or by chance to suspend altogether the progress of the Uuw/ tQol Establishment, I will not pretend to determine. I must leave that problem to the candour and enterprise of the parties con- cerned : they will doubtless fully satisfy the public mind upon all such facts as require previously to be well understood, and especially as to the draught of water AT ALL TIMES on the Bar, and in EVERY PART OF THE CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH A VESSEL OF TEN OR . ELEVEN FEET WATER MUST BE LIABLE excellence of thy road, might be accomplished with perfect ease. The whole distance from London, by the neio li. ne,^ is now exactly ascertained to be 2b0 miles, which is petformed in 32£ hours, being at the precise rate of eight miles an hour ; and it is rather i remarkable fact, that the AVERAGE PASSAGES BY SEA TO DUBLIN, FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR, almost precisely correspond with this rate, or as nearly as possible hours for each trip, supposing the distance 60 miles. In this case also the superiority of one vessel over another, or rather the disparity between a weaker and a higher degree of Steam power, is quite con- clusive of the facts already alleged ; fpr while the lioyjal overeign made her p< tssagf s across ; iu' seven houis, the Meteor to.; k seven hours forty minutes.' So that although in good weather the ratio of velocity between a Steam Packet antj a Mail Coach might be in favour of the former by one or two miles per hour, yet on the averag- e of the whole year, good weather and bad, the ONLY JUST Cri- terion for judging-, it is now clearly established from experience that there will be no material distinction ; and we may with equal confidence infer, that the hoast of gaining time^ by the adoption of this ( the Dawpool) passage for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, is nnth in o- mm p ilmn i/ tl^ commercial or otherwise, is uothing' more than idle g- asconade, and equally unworthy of those who make'it as it may be. dangerous to such as could be deluded by its influence. With Liverpool the competition may be fairly considered a legitimate object ; but the contention with so powerful, and at the same time so successful a rival, may be quite as injudicious as the siliy attempt to elevate the advantages of Dawpool ovet those of llolvhead ! E. S, To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. MR. EDITOR, The season of the year is again arrived, when the fields begin to look 44 white to harvest," and appear ready to yield their luxuriant crops for the use of u> an. Happy would it be, for our Country, and happy would it be for our Farmers, however heavily the pressure of the times may affect them, were they to feel and manifest more of that grati- tude to the Lord of the Harvest, which the present season so loudly demands., How far this is the case in our Land generally, I would leave to every man's judgment and observation to determine. But there is ONE CUSTOM in the Town of shrews- bury to which I would beg leave to call the at- tention of the Public, as a Custom that imperatively demands the interference ofall those, who have the intevest of Religion,. fnd the welfare of their Country at heart. I allude to. THE PRACTICE of those [ Labourers, who come to the neighbourhood of Shrewsbury for work during the corn- harvest, appearing publicly in the streets of Shrewsbury ON THE SUNDAY, with their harvest instruments, and of those Farmers who attend for the express purpose of hiring them. To point out the extreme impropriety, the exceeding sinfulness, and the demoralizing effects of. such a custom, I consider needless to an enlightened Public : but I cannot help earnestly entreating the two Parties chiefly concerned- the Hirers and the Hired— to reflect seriously, ' • hether the present times and unfavour- able season do not call on" them to consider their ways, and pause, before they presume to offer this open provocation to the Author and Giver of all their blessings, who has said, " Shall I not visit • ed be It is a' fact, but not generally known, that the common strawberry is a natural dentifrice j and that its juice, without any previous preparation whatever, dissolves the tartareous incrustations on the teeth, and makes the breath sweet and agreeable. Being in Love.— The epoch of being in love, notwithstanding all, is the most agreeable in the whole course of life. The soul has then no craving to gratify. Existence is at its highest premium, for it is then we are farthest from indifferencev He who is in love cherishes life, and but enjoys it the. better for little drawbacks in oilier affairs, which ouly heighten love's relish when wo return- to it. It it; a better and pleasanter thing than inoney- gettin'g or courtship, or sullen study, or lpaddeiiing ambition, or a. thousand gasping desires that engross us wholly without our feeling satisfaction in their pursuit. These are solitary objects being in love is participated with another, and therefore is a more social pleasure. The romantic tinge which often colours our conduct is an agreeable character- istic; it increases the attraction^ and Confers a hallowed oharm upon the passion. Being in love is a restraint upon evil feelings— a situation favour- able to virtue. The love of woman is a correction of our perverse natures, and, While its season lasts, always mends the heart. Let an unbiassed and dis- dmiinatirig^. ' eenienaire answer what part of life he could look back Upon with the moist kindly feelings — what portion of ' his departed years he most- che- rished iu his remembrance— and he would doubtless answer, the time when he w. s in love. The memory of that delicious season, its little adventures, hopes^ fears, and enjoyments, always. comes over us with a rush of pleasing . warmth — a sun- beam piercing the clouds of departed time, and irradiating for a moment o. ur tottering steps and grey hairs. Being in love mingles us with the better things of life — keeps beautiful forms perpetually before the eye- gives us pleasing dreams—^ elevates the spirits— exalts our views. It tempers our harsher disposi- tions with the gent! eness, of beauty, and subdues our proudest pretensions to the government of tears and caresses of mildness and persuasion. He who has never been in love is a miserable blockhead, who is ignorant of the highest joy this distem- pered life possesses for mortals. Being in love is, in fact, a sort of millenium, far above all life's other good. I would desire no better state than that of being in love for a thousand years ; and, as Quin wished he had a mouth from England to Nova Scotia, & nd every inch of the way palate, that he might fully enjoy John Dory, I would demand the temperament of youth from seventeen to twenty- five for the above space of tinie, and all its ardent sus- cejjtibilii v to heighten my long season of innocence and ^ ppiuess.— New Montnly Magazine.

For, if it must acknowledged by us all, that we cannot expect the blessing and goodness of Almighty God, by whonj Kings reign, and the earth brings forth its fruit, and the appointed weeks of the harvest are reserved for us, without a religious observance of God's holy. Jaws,"— then surely it cannot be the act of wise men to fly thus daringly in the face of the just Governor of the Universe, and to commence the harvest by an act so directly contrary to. his laws, and so calculated to bring down his wrath and indignation on their labours. If we would wish for a favourable harvest, and for the blessing- of the Almighty on the fruits of the earth, then, let us all beware, lest we directly, or indirectly, by encouragement, permission, or connivance, partake of the guilt of continuing such a custom ; and let us endeayour to devise some means for abolishing a practice that must appear to every thinking man to be so highly indecorous in a Christian Country— so subversive of the best interests of Religion and Morality- rso repugnant to the laws of the Land and Christianity— and so highly displeasing to Almighty God. * Perhaps, it may be said that this is an ancient CM it on from ihe days qf our Forefathers. But an old custom should only he tolerated so long as it is innocent, or serves to raise in our minds useful associations; an4 if it becomes prejudicial to public morals, then it is high tiu » e that it should be abolished. Or it may be said that only part of the Sunday is thus employed. Though we allow this plea, which is far from being the case, as any person may be satisfied on inquiry, or examination, yet where is the man who will come forward, and put his hand on his heart, and solemnly declare, that those, wlio have been thus employed for even a small p^ rt. of the Sunday, HAVE KEPT THAT DAY HOLY Recording to God's commandment, or as they would wish to spend their last Sabbath on earth ? Or it may be perhaps said, that it would be a pity to oblige the poor Labourers to appear on Saturday, and put them to the expense of food and lodg'ing from Saturday till Monday. But surely it can be no object to the Farmers to give their Labourers meat and lodging over Sunday, especially when the good effects of the new practice aie duly considered ; and I could answer for the Labourersthat many of them would prefer paying for their meat and lodg- ings to the present degrading system. I won id, therefore, fearlessly ask any reasonable man, whe- ther these or any other objections to the abolishing of the present custom, can haye any weight when put in the balance against its allowed criminality its contrariety to the laws of Qod and Man— rand its evil consequence to the Parties themselves as well as to Society at targe ? Let it, then, suffice to throw out this hint to the FARMERS of the vicinity of Shrewsbury, us well as to the Guardians of morality and good order, aiid respectfully to sugg'est the propriety of thei devising- such means as may best proyeiij such a\ open violation qf the Laws of our Maker and our Country, by fixing on Saturday, or any other day, for the Labourers to come and meet their Em- ployees. They will thus stand clear themselves from a guilt of no ordinary magnitude, and be also free from the blood of the poor and comparatively innocent Labourers, who are necessitated, many of them aoainst their ivills, thus publicly to profane that HOLY DAY, concerning which the highest Authorities in heaven and earth have commanded us to REMEMBER TO KEEP IT HOLY.

Last week the steam- engine at Polgootb, near St Austell, commenced its task ot clearing that ancient tin- mine of the water which bad for a series of years been accumulating in its lower els. The engine has an 80- iilch cylinder, aud draws 1,000 gallons of water per minute. Though assisted by a watei- engine of considerable power, the pi - g- css at present made in the reduction <, t the waitr is trifling.

The water will then be conveyed down au inclined plane to the foot of the hill, where another steatn- i nginr is in the course of erection for breaking aud pul- verising the tin- stuff by. stamps. A. strum engine of equal dimensions and power with that at Polgooth is now being erected oil tile copper- mint of Pembrook, near St. Austell. We understand that theie is at present in England an agent from ihe United States, who is appaniilly engaged in the manufacture of ma- chines of a particular description, anil that under the pretence of supplying the various nianu factoring establishments of the United Kingdom with such machines, he is iiuduig his way into those establishments, in order to make himself acquainted with the local improvements of each establishment, and that he is actually engaged iu making models ol such local, improvements, which models are regularly exported iu casks of linseed oil. This agent, we understand, very lately sent out a complete machinery iu that mode of packing, for the spinning of cotton, and of the very iatcst invention. WATKR PROOF CLOTH.— A Chemist of Glas- gow, has discovered a simple and efficacious method of rendering woollen, silk, or cotton cloth, completely water proof. The mode is lo dissolve caoutchouc in mineral oil, procured in abundance at Ihe gas works by a brush; to put five or six coalings of ( his mixture on one side of the cloth or silk, on which another piece of cloth is laid, and the whole passed between two rollers. The ad hesiou is most complete ; so that it is easier to tear the cloth than to separate either piece from the caoutchouc. This kind of chilli must be a valuable commodity for persons living in a rainy climate. We understand that a patent has licen obtained hy the inventor. BUGS.— The following is an effectual remc dy to destroy that noxious insect, the bug:— Take two ounces of quicksilver and add thereto Ihe whites of two eggs; stir them well together, aud with a feather anoint the crevices of the bedstead. If this application is renewed twice every year, the an- noyance will be effectually removed. WARTS AND CORNS.— The bark of the willow tree, burnt lo ashes and mixed with strong vinegar, forms a lixivium which effectually eradicates, by repealed applications, waits, corns, and all cutane- ous excrescences. It appears that in the years 1821— 22— 23, there have been imported 1,061,228 Leghorn hats, which cost 1' 1,50t>, ti00, which money being sent, abroad in cash, puts out of employ upwards of 200,000 poor girls per annum. When it is known that, the children who learn to plait straw, ( earn to read at the same school, or that there is little or no employ for this class of the rising generation, Leghorns ought altogether to he prohibited, as a common act of justice to the industrious females of this country, who, if employed, would be kept from the paths of idleness and vice.- The plaited straw telso imported is about 3050lbs. which amounts to about 3,0110,110( 1 yards, which reduces the employ of the poor almost as much as the wearing of Leg horns. When we consider also that the Bonnet Sewers have not for the last seven years had half employ, the mischief arising from the importation of Leghorns, See. is incalculable PowrR ANI> RESOURCES OF ENGLAND,— M. Dupin, the French author of several interesting works on the naval and military power of England, has iv really published a " Discourse" pronounced bv him on' 2d June last, before the Academy of Sciences at Paris, on " Co erce and iis Public Works, in England and in France." The discourse ibegins with a description of the extent and positions of the British Empire and its dependencies, eon- tidered in relation lo the commercial advantage and security which they offer. The author then traces the strength as well as prosperity of Great Britnii In Ihe immense dispersion of ber several provinces the communications between which in peace, and their defence ill war, require and support an enor. mous maritime power. He proceeds to expatiate on tliose prodigious works in the shape of canals, roads, and harbours, which serve lo approximate the re- motest points of this island ; and to produce an elas. ticity and activity of movement in the centre of the British dominions, as little known to foreign States as it is essential to the vigorous action of this Mo narcby throughout its most distant members. All this unrivalled and astonishing machinery M. Dupin averts to have owed its birth to the administration oi" Lord Chatham, and to have grown to perfection in little more than half a century.

BROWN ist OTHERS. This was an action brought hy Henry Lyster, Esq. against John Brown, and agains Thotna. and Ed v. at d Brown i-: s sons, to recover penalties alleged to have been incurred by them under the Statute of 11th Geo. 11. which enacts that ( in consequence of the frauds which at that period bad so much pre- vailed), if any person or persons should be proved to have fraudulently removed goods from any pre- mises, for the purpose of preventing the landlord distraining them for rent due aud unpaid, the land- lord shall, on proving siich offence iu a Court of Justice, recover from such person or persons to the amount of double the valife of the goods fraudulently moved.—[ If the goods thus removed are under a certain value, the penalties may be summarily ecovered before the Magistrates.] Mr. BATHER stated the case for the plaintiff, and then proceeded to call the following witnesses. Mr. James Moore, solicitor.— Iu 1819 1 became principal clerk to Mr. Thomas Lloyd, agent to Mr. ' yster; as clerk, I have received rent from Mr. I. yster's tenants. John Brown, one of the defend- ants, was tenant at will of a farm at Tieenton be- longing to Mr. Lyster ; when 1 first came to assist Mr. Llovd, there was by the rental arrears due from John Brown, and about which I hare frequently spoken to him. In Sept. 1820, John Brown had a notice lo quit ot the Lady- Day following ; he did not quit; he requested permission to continue on his farm, and he would reduce his arrears as quickly as possible; Mr. Lloyd consented to this. 1 have received rent from John Brown since 1821, on account; his farm was rather more than 332 acres, and his annual rent was £ 3t! 0 ; the gross arrears due from him at last Lady- Day were £ 729. 17s. subject lo deductions which would leave his net arrears £ 512.19s. I saw the defendant John Brown on the 27th of June, 1822; his son Thomas Brown came with him, and spoke as to his occupation of the farm. John Brown having complained of the distress of the times, I had written to him to come to Mr. Lloyd ; be hoped Mr. Lloyd would make him a considerable reduction ; they offered me 12s. an acre. I told John Brown perhaps Ml'- Lloyd would allow him £ 50 or £ 60 per annum, besides the land- tax as usual, while times continued bad. On the Monday week following I went over to see the farm, but no settlement was then made, further than that he was to continue the occupation at an allowance, the amount of which was to bo left to Mr. Lloyd, but there was no final agreement. I know of no notice to quit sent lo John Brown since Sept. 1820. In June, 1822,' John Brown promised payment, lu consequence of information I had received, I went to Neenton, about 28 miles from Shrewsbury, early on the morning of the 27t| i of March last'; I found a great bustle going on, but very little On Ibe farm ; Mr. Charles Brown, clerk to Messrs. Lloyd and How, went with me; I put in a distress on what remained. Cross- examined.— I have received sums on ac- count since June, 1822 ; in August, 1822,1 received from Thomas Brown £ 101. 10s.; oil the 26th Dec. 182 !, I received £ 10, which had been paid to Mr. I. yster's bailiff. In the conversation alluded to ( in June, 1822), it was proposed by the defendant that [ If. the next rent- day, in August, he would pay from £ 150 to £ 200 of the arrears, and the remainder before Lady- Day, 18- 23; it was not then agreed that the iirreafs should be taken as £ 360 due at Lady- Day ; nothing was agreed as to arrears beiu reduced further than I have staled ; an account was drawn out and shewn to defendants ( John aud Thomas), but they did not object to it; I offered to take Thomas ' Brown's note of hand for the arrears if his father would join him in it. Since the 27th June, 1822, I do not recollect bavin written to or seen Thomas Brown about rent., but I may possibly have doneso. Mr. Thomas Blftkeniore lias" been in possession of the farm since the 27th of March last. 1 let it to Mr. Biakeniore before the 25th of March, because Thomas Brown had told me his father had left the farm, and Mr. Lyster might take it. and do what the devil he liked with it. do not know that Thomas Brown had sold colts to Mr. Stevenson ( the Rector) for a debt, but 1 seized them on the rectorial estate then in the occupation of Thomas Corfield ; it was told me by Thomas Brown and Edward Brown that these colls were sold to Mr. Stevenson for tithes; 1 undertook to return them to Mr. Stevenson, if he could satisfy Mr. Lloyd that it was a bona fide transaction ; these colts were sold under the distress. The pet amount of the distress was £ 171 odd ; I do pot recollect any appraisement; the gross amount of the sale under the distress was £' 310. 5s. tOd.; eight pounds have been also received for the ley of sheep; there were some acres of wheat on the premises, sown in February ; there were clover- seeds and ploughing, to be paid for by the ill- coming tenant, valued | tt £ 25. ls. Mr. William Woodburn— I am bailiff to plaintiff; Neenton before Lady- day last; the morning after Lady- dav, I. saw hitu at Mr. Edwards's [ his son- in- iaw], of'High Down. tin. the afith of March, Edward Brown ordered me to take a cow and iwo calves to Mr. Edwards's ; that was the time 1 saw John Brown, and be saw the cow and calves. 1 vvas sent bv Mr. John Brown to Mr Stringer's to ( ell liini to come up directly. 1 returned to> eentoii in the evening to lake a heifer and calf to Mr. Stringer's.— Cross- examined : 1 drove tl- e cattle in open day to Mr. Edwards's and to Stringer's, but it was night before I got. to Mr. Stringer's, which was about 5 or ti miles from Neentoii.— Re- examined: John Brown asked me, at Mr. Edwards's, who sent me with the cows and calves; I to| d him ; and he, said, they were pretty fellows to order his property about; Mr. Edwards's is about 5 miles from Neenton ; Mr. John Brown did not desire me to take the cattle back. Mr. Thomas Farmer.— I am a farmer, about 5 miles from Neenton ; on the 25th or 26th of March, Thomas Brown asked me to let him put a few sheep iu a field of mine till next day ; I consented, and 34 sheep and 18 lambs, worth £ 26, were brought; they were uot fetched away till Saturday, the 29th. — Cross- examined: They were brought in open day ; my house is ou the regular road from Neenton to Chelmarsh, William Rowley.— I was employed on Mr. Brown's farm ; on' the 26th March, Mr. Thomas Brown sent, me with 34 sheep aud 18 lambs to Mr. Farmer's; I took 2 cows and - 1 pigs the same day to Mr. Stringer's, by Thomas Brown's direction.— Cross- examined : Mr. Thomas Brown was my mas- ter on Neenton Farm; he gave orders when Mr. John Brown was not there, and when he was there; Thomas Brown paid me my wages and agreed with me ; lie managed the farm at Neenton before I went there ; I went there at the back of last harvest; Thomas Brown moved the things he had feeding backwards and forwards from one farm to another; Thomas Brown had a farm at Chelmarsh, and came to Neenton once a month or more.— Cross- examined : There were about bt> acres of growing wheat on the farm at Neenton at Lady- day last. Mr. Charles Brown,— I am clerk to Messrs, Lloyd and How, attornies. [ An inventory was here produced, which the witness identified. It was a list of the articles distrained at Neenton on the 27th of March; and on the back was an indorsement, signed by Thomas Brown, on behalf of his father, appointing Mr. T. B. Roberts the auctioneer, and requesting, on his father's behalf, that the sale may be fixed for a certain day.] On the 13th of June last I saw John Brown at Chelmarsh. He said he knew nothing of the removing his goods until his son Thomas Brown came to him at Iligh Down, on Lady- Day evening, and proposed it. He then asked his son what would become of him if they removed the goods; that Thomas Brown replied, " 1* 11 take care of you ;" and that he ( John Brown) then concurred. That he told his son he owed several persons money, and that he hoped fee would let them all have something ; that his son Thomas said they should have something. That he told his son he owed Mr. Stringer a largesuin, and he had sent to him to inform him of the transaction, and that he wished him to go down to the farm and get some- thing in part, if not all his demand, which he believed be did. On his cross examination, witness said, that when he had this conversation with John Brown, he met with him at Chelmarsh.; he went into that country expecting to see him, but not to hunt him out; he ( witness) was going to Mr. Strin- ger's, at. Chelmarsh. The amount of the articles proved to have been removed from the farm, as valued by the witnesses, was now summed up, and appeared to he £ 77. 12s 6d. Mr. TAONTOK then rose on the part of the de- fendants, and said he thought he should prove to the Jury that the father, John Brown, had assigned all his interest in the farm to his sons, some time previous to the 25th of March last, and that, in fact, Thomas Brown was the tenant : on this latter point, he dwelt on the acts of mastership exercised by Thomas Brown, as proved by most of the plain- tiff's witnesses, and said it could not but he inferred that John Bruwn had, in point of fact, given up the farm to his son Thomas. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to argue that, unless the tenant was proved to be the principal iu the transaction, the action could not be sustained on the Statute under which it was brought; for the Statute only con- templated tlie tenant as the principal ill the act; and in this case be assuredly was but in a slight degree the"- accessary, aud that in a reoiote con- struction ; for he certainly could only lie proved an accessary after the fact, let the case be strained to the uttermost. On this last ground, the learned counsel raised an objection, to which he called the special attention of his Lordship and the Jury, urging that the whole business, by the plaintiff's tioa of Mr. Taunton as to the sons not paying the £ 450 and arrears, was without any valid foundation, for the deed itself expressed that the sum of £ 450 and all arrears Was to be paid ; but the deed bad been admitted by all the defendants, and by Mr. Smilh himself, to have been illegally executed without consideration paid ; besides, it was proved that the parties never had any valuation of the property previous to the assignment, nor was that deed < looked by any valuation until after Mr. Moore bad demanded that it should be destroyed ; he made that demand on the 7th July, and on the 9th Mr. Roberts valued the stock. The whole afiair of the assignment was one of fraud and con- cealment". As to John Broyvn not having been the principal in the fraudulent removal of the goods, it was enough to show that he was accessary ; for if he Vas any ways proved to have concurred in such removal, he was by the Statute taken to be the principal. That rule had beeu laid down in several cases bv various Judges ; and, indeed, there could be no other construction of the Statute ; for if there was any other construction, a tenant had only to feign illness, or take himself out of the way, having previously given the necessary directions to his confederates, and he would escape the consequences of bis fraudulent conduct. The LearneH Counsel then put it to the Jury, ou the face of the evidence, if all the parties were not guilty ; and observed, that the inference as to Thomas Brown being the real tenant, was negatived hy the fact of the assign- ment being a fraud, by the fact of John Brown having exercised authority over the property to the last moment, as was seen by his sending to Mr. Stringer, and by the more convincing fact that neither Mr. Lyster nor his agent had made any agreement with Tfeomas Brow n for the farm, and that the law recognized no surrender of tenancy to wh. icb the landlord or his agent was not a party ; also, that Thomas Brown's indorsement, on behalf of hif father, on the inventory of distrain, was con- clusive evidence, furnished by the defendants them- selves, that John Brown only was in possession of the tenancy. The Learned Judge ( Mr Justice PARK) stated the Case at ' considerable length to the Jury, and pointed out its various bearing* in relation to the several parties. He observed that there was one point which had been ingeniously argued by the Learned Counsel for the defendants, namely, as to the plan for removing the goods having originated witli and been carried into effect by the sous, aud that the father, therefore, could not be considered the principal, and could not, of course, be convicted under th is Statute, whicH recognized the tenant only as the principal. The point, his Lordship was new, and if the Jury should be satisfied as to the fraudulent removal of the goods, he wished them to consider the point he had referred to in their verdict, that the opinion of the Court above might be ts^ ken thereon, if considered necessary. The Jury, after a skart consultation, returned a verdict for plaintiff for £ 154 ( being double the value of the goods proved to have been fraudulently removed), and that the plan originated with the sons, but was agreed to by the father before the removal of the goods. He also collected the fish rents thirty- four years as the agent of Mr. Davies, the steward of Sir " Watkin. Mr. Davies, he knew, let the fishery to Mr. Pugh for a great number of years, and after he gave it up it was let to another person. The fishermen would sometimes get disorderly, and they would then he proceeded against by $ i* r Watkiu's steward, and be again brought into submission. John Arthur, a fisherman, 43 years old, had heen engaged in that occupation ever since he was 13 years old, and had fished during all that time on the part of the river in question under Sir Watkin ; there were several other persons who also fished by the same authority, wjio used to go out with himj and am^ ng them was Rowland Williams, the defendant. They all look their fish to Machynlleth Market, where Mr. Edwards, Sir Watkin's bailiff", used to sell it. The riyer kad moved three times in his recollec- tion, and in that, part of it which now divided Timeiriacoch he saw ihe defendants fishing in Octo- ber, 1821.

John Brown went with me on e 14th of March to Bridgnorth. Thomas Brown ves. at Chelmarsh, about 6 miles from Neenton. At Bridgnorth, on the 14th of March, I repeated the statement I have already mentioned, and said, unless they paid, Mr. Lyster would distrain upon the premises. Thomas Brown said he would come on the Lady- Dav following and settle it with M Lloyd, as his father- in- law would advance him money ; and he further said he meant to go the following week to live there; Thomas had frer ueutly said lie should go to Neenton to live; and told him I. thought it would be advisable, $ s lie frequently complained of the rent, to settle it with Mr. Lloyd before he went to live there. The father said he wished to keep possession, and would get some one to assist him ; this was op the 13th ; and he complained very much of his son's conduct in selling all his property and giving no account of the money. Cross- examined: Thomas Brown had several times told me he'd go to live at Neenton ; lie had a farm at Chelmarsh. On the 25th of February 1 understood William Brown owed £ 40 for articles from Neenton, and 1 applied to him for it; he promised payment, but never paid. There are 45 acres of growing wheat on the far John Philpot.—- I was waggoner to John Brown before Lady- day last; about twelve o'clock on the night of Ladyr Oay, 1 heard Thomas Brown call up William Rowley ; I afterwards heard a rumpus in the stable; 1 thought somebody had been robbing* the stable, and I got up and went down there; Thomas Brown said, 44 Come, Jack, lend a hand ; these horses must be at Worcester by morning." I helped to gear the shafter, and to put her into the cart. Edward Brown and William Rowley were in the stable; I then, by Thomas Brown's order, set the cart by the house door. He put two flitches of bacon, about 700lbs. of cheese, two- bags of peas, two bags of barley, I bag of beans, and 1 bag of wheat into the, cart, to which there were three horses Thomas Brown ordered me to take the cart on till he overtook me, which was about 3 or 4 miles from Neenton, and about 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning; I was to goon till he sent somebody to meet me; his waggoner met me, but 1 drove the cart on to Thomas Brown's house at Chelmarsh, When it was unloaded, and I had refreshed me • I returned to Neenton, leaving the cart and two. of the horses at Chelmar^ h. Next day 1 found most of the cows were gone. On Wednesday, the 26th, T brought some empty bags with rue from Thomas Brown's, and he followed me, arid as^ ed if the oats were winnowed; I helped to winnow the oats on Wednesday night; Thomas Brown said they wanted them to go* of!' that night; I helped to load them and the other articles on the waggon. [ Witness was asked the value of the articles lie helped to take away , and he mentioned what he thought they were worth.]—. Cross- examined : I have not been used to buying aud selling*. Luke Brown.— I assisted Philpot in loading the waggon ; there were 20 bags of oats and 1 bag of clover seed, a waggon rope, and a half bushel measure ; also a mare that went with the waggon. [ Witness gave a valuation of the articles.] I began to load between 8 and 9 o'clock at night, hy John Philpor's orders ; the oats were only part dressed ; i left Neenton with the waggon about 9, and went towards Bridgnorth; I went to the Cross Houses, about 4 or 5 miles from Neenton, where I met an empty team of Mr. Thomas Brown7s, in which were put all I had in my team ; one of the men with the team was Thomas Brown's servant; I did not see Thomas Brown or Edward Brown until the Thursday morning, when Mr. Moore came over I had told them ( Thomas and Edward) I took the grain off, and what I had done with it;, they said, " Very well."— Cross- examined : There were oats unthreshed on the farm Jolm Kidson.— I lived with John Brown at own shewing, originated with, and was carried into effect by, the sons, aj$ d this, he; thought, would take the case out of the Statute. Further, he contended, that, from the expression used by Thomas Brown to Mr. Mooie, and by that gentle- man having, previous to the 25th of March, let the farm to Mr. Blakemore, it must be taken that John Brown was, in fact, whether he had assigned his interest to his sons or not, no tenant after the 25th March, and that, on this ground also, the action as against a tenant, could not lie, for the removal did not take place until after the 25th March.— He then proceeded to call his witnesses. Mr. Henry Smith.— Proved the execution of an assignment by John Brown, in the earlv part of 1822, of all his furniture, interest in ( lis fa rip, farming stock, & c. to his sons Thomas and Edward Brown, on condition of their payin^ him £ 450, and undertaking to pay all arrears of rent. A receipt accompanied the assignment, purporting to be from John Brown for the said sum of £ 450. Cross- examined :— Witness said the signature as a witness to the fulfilment of the receipt was his, but he saw no money paid. He signed it, though he saw no consideration given, because it is a usual thing. Mr. T. B Roberts said, that on the 9th of July, 1.822, he valued the stock, & c. at Neenton, as be- tween John Brown and his two sons Thomas Brown came to request witness to value it; apd the father and Edward Brown were present. Hi valuation was £ 691.8s. 7d. He was employed on the 1st and 2d of April last to sell the stock remain- ing^ under the distrain, and the gross produ. ee of the sale was £ 209. 19s. 4d.— Cross- examined ; The transfer of his stock, & c. on the, part of John Brown was not a matter of notoriety. Mr. Thomas Stringer.— John Brown was indebt- ed to my father £ 100. I had a colt after the assignment, from Thomas Brown, in part satisfac tion of mv father's debt. I received two cows, also a caltv and a heifer, from Neentop ; they . yvere brought on the 26th of March ; they were received in part payment of my father's debt; there are £ 33 still due.— In answer to a question from the Judge, Mr. Stringer said old Mr. Brown sent for him ou the occasion ; and that he knew of the assignment from Mr. Thomas Brown sometime in June, 1822. Cross- examined : T knew the goods were removing before X had the cows and heifer and calf; I knew this from Mr. John Brown .— Re- examined : I bad very often applied previously; for the money. Mr. John Brown sent for rne to Mr. Edwards's, of High Dowp ; John Kidson was the uiesspjriger; he told me John Brown wanted me; and then John Brown told me to go a id get something towards mv debt. The defendant's case being closed, the plaintiff's first, witness was recalled. Mr. Moore.— On the 7th July, 1822, I was at Neenton, in consequence of previous arrangement [ The deed of assignment proved by Mr. Henry Smith was here produced.] I then saw this assign- ment, and enquired of the father if any considera- tion had been paid; he said there had not. In consequence of that declaration, I said, unless the deed were immediately abandoned, T wouM on the next Monday morning put in a distrain for the rent, then due. Edward Brown positively refused to „ ive up possession of the deed to any person. On the Monday morning Thomas Brown came to Neeii ton from Chelmarsh ; I then repeated my declara tion as to the distrain, having previously asked Thomas Brown, in his father's'presence, whether there was any consideration given for the assign- ment, and he also having said there was not. It was afterwards settled that. Thomas should have the deed and destroy it; the deed was then deli vered to Thomas by Edward, and Thomas under took to destroy it. On that assurance I allowed the rent to stand over on promise of payriient. Thomas fyas since said more than once lie had destroyed the deed. Mr. Woodburn was present, at this business. Mr. Woodburn was now recalled^ and he con firmed Mr. Moore's statement Mr. TAUNTON rose and observed, in reference to no consideration having been paid for the assign ment, that the sons in that deed engaged to pay all arrears of . rent, which were more than £ 450, and of course they would not pay £-*$<) in hand and all arrears. Mr; CAMPBELL replied on the part of the plaintiff, and, in the course of his address, said, theobserva- WATKIN WILLIAMS WYNN, BART. V. ROWLAND WILLIAMS, EDWARD WILLIAMS, AND OTHERS Mr DANIELS opened the pleadings. The declara- tion charged ilje defendants with unlawfully fishing in that part of ^ he river Dovey which is in the parish of Machynlleth, over which ihe plaintiff claimed an exclusive right of fishery. Mr. TEMPLE said the plaintiff had brought this action not so much for the value of the fishery as for the purpose of protecting the inhabitants of the country from the Ins* of the fish in the Dovey, by the improper modes by which it was caught and destroyed, and it was jiot till applications had been ipade to the plaintiff to restore to the cpuntry the advantages of the fishery that this action was com- menced; When the complaints came to he investi- gated, it appeared that the farmers in the neighbour- hood had been using various methods to catch and destroy the fish, and, among those they resorted to, was that of lighting up fires in the night, on the banks of the river, for the purpose of drawing? 1 ji> fish together, and whety they were collected they were speared, qr by some other means killed and destroyed. Besides this evil, all the straw, which ought to be used as manure, was wasted, and the farms, io coosequence, considerably impoverished and reduced in their value. The gentlemen about ir Watkin, finding the inconvenience of these pro- eeedings, had made representations to him, and Sir Watkiu, by his agents, gave directions to the fisher, men to desist from those improper practices. Some of them, against whom legal proceedings had beep taken for these trespasses, had confessed their error by suffering judgment against them to go by de- fault; but two gentlemen, the proprietors of land in the neighbourhood, resisted Sir Wat kin's claim to the exclusive right of fishing, and had set up th present defendants, four fishermen in indigent cir- cumstances, to defend this action. Sir Watkin had not much land in the immediate vicinity of the river, ud he, therefore, now only claimed the exclusive right of fishing over so much of the Dovey as was in the parish of Machynlleth, and which he did as Lord of the Manor of Cyfeiliog. The plaintiffs estate* in Wales were known to be very extensive, and al- though he had ppfmittted trespasses to be made in this small portion of his privileges in the country, it would he shewn that he had been in the habit of receiving rents for the right of fishing, and lipd seized the nets of persons who Had fished contrary to his regulations; and if the Jury were satisfied that he had exercised these rights of ownership, I hey would not, because Sir Watkin had not claimed all that he might have done ffom the industrious fisher- men, permit other individuals to step in and take from him his estates and birthright. Mr. Thomas Evans stated, that, in the year 18? 8, he, together with another person named Pugh, took the fishery of the river Dovey,, running through the pa- rish of Machynlleth, from Mr. Hughes, the agent of Sir Watkin. Sir Watkin had a piece of land named Timeiriacoch, in the same parish, through which the river ran; and he was ak « o Lord of the Manor of Cyfeiliog, There were regulations submitted to those who fished under Sir Watkin, to which all the defendants had subscribed. In 1818, the fishermen refused to comply with the regulations, and the steward of Sir Watkin seized their boats and nets. He took the fishery for twelve months at ten pound and again let it to the fishermen, who were to sell him the fish they caught at < i certain price named, and to deliver it at a given ph^ e to the bailiff. of the plaintiff, who was to weigh it. In 1818, when the defendant? and the other fishermen refused to com- ply with the regulations, he gave them notice to quit, nd he subsequently gave up the fishery because he could not manage them. Cross- examined: Pennal was op one side of the river and Machynlleth on the other; but he fished the whole river. His reason for giving up the tenancy w* s, that the fishermen insisted ou workin, their nets out of season. He never saw any tenants but those of Sir Watkin fishing, and they generally went out. together, and drew lots which should draw the first net; and he who drew the first net then went behind, aod was followed by the second, and so on in succession. Re- examined: There were actions now pendin against some of the fishermen for wording out of season; others had suffered judgment to go against them by default. He had rented the fishery 11 or 1* 2 years before he took it in 1818, and then held it fo three or four years under Sir Watkiu, at 8 pound: ! i year. The defendant, Rowland Williams, was then one of the sub tenants, and fished the whole river Some persons at that time insisted on fishing without permission. Documents y* ere put in to show the persons against whom actions had been brought, who had suffered judgment to he entered against them by default. The notice to the defendant Rowland Williams, a subscriber to Sir Wat kin's regulations, not to fish in 1818, was duly proved. The Rev. James Hamer lived near Machynlleth, and knew the ciose of land called Timeiriacocli which belonged to Sir Watkin; formerly the river Dovey ran completely to the north of it; after the erection of a stone wall the course of the ri^ er was thrown on the Machynlleth side, anil divided Tiineir. iacoch into two parts, and he had received tithes for the land on both sides of the river for upwards of twelve years. At one time he rented the fishery, in conjunction with a Mr. Jones, of Sir Watkin, and he always considered Sir Watkin as having the exclu- sive right of fishery. Cross examined.— Sometimes persons would poach upon the fishery, and their boats and nets were then seized, and . they would submit to that seizure without opposition. A great number of persons fished under his authority, when he rented, and for tli^ it permission they gave a promissory note for £ 2 once a- year. The fishermen at length grew very disorderly, and after keeping it for thirty- seven years, he gave it up. they might have as good a; right to do so as Sir Watkin's tenants. They never interfered with each other, and they landed their fish on which side tliey pleased. Re- examined.- prAII the men lie saw fishing took their nets to Sir Watkin's hailiff, because they had orders to do so. At one time,, all the nets were seized by Sir Watkin's agent for fishing out of the appointed times. Hugh Evans, a bailiff to Sir Watkin, received general orders in 1818 to protect the river from the depredations of the fishermen, and, among* others, he gave the defendants notice not to fish, aud lie also gave a public notice to all other persons to the same effect. He afterwards saw the defendants fishing hy the river side, and desired them to go off. Mr. HILL, the Attorney- General for the Princi- pality, contended, on the part of the defendants, that Sir Watkin had not made out an exclusive right to the enjoyment of the fishery, and, as he had not done so, it was submitted that this action could not he maintained. The question for t^ e consideration of the Jury was, fiot to determine wh « . had the right of fishery in the river, but whether Sir Watkin had an exclusive right. With respect to fisheries, the law generally was, that persons who held the soil on either side of the river had a right of fishing, and, except an exclusive right was shown, the fact of being the lord of a manor did not take away the individual interests of persons as acknowledged by the common law of the land. It was not for him, therefore, to produce the iille of the persons who let the fishery to the defendants, but it was incumbent on the plaintiff to shew that he had an exclusive right in the fishery before he attempted to deprive the subject of the privileges given him by the com- mon and natural law of the land. He ( Mr. Hill) did not mean to say that Sir Wat kin had not a right to fish in the river, but he did contend that he had nothing more than a common right, held conjointly with other persons, which was sufficient for him to shew on the present occasion to justify the Jury in giving verdict to the defendants^ Hugh Morris deposed that he had heen a fish- carrier for thirty- two years, and that another carrier named Pugh, had taken the liberty of fishing in the river Dovcy, as high- UP as the Pennal river of Mr. Anwyl, a gentleman. ho, he Id lands on the hanks of the river. Pugh paid £ 4. 4s. a year, and let it out toother persons at the same sum, reserving* to him- self the right of carrying the fish to market. Pngh rented for five or six years, and all the fishermen on the river mixed higgledy - piggledy together without being interfered with. The men had all fished oppo- ite Tiipeiriacoch together. Their nets were once seized, and carried to the Town Hail of Machynlleth, nd there kept, till the proper season came round, hy Mr. Jones, the agent of Sir Watkin, who put a stop tp the fishing altogether.. The Rev. Mr. Davies, a trustee of the estate of Mr. Lewis Edwards, some years ago saw the late Mr. Davies, the former steward to Sir Watkin, in treaty with Mr. Ainvyl and Captain Thrustan, for renting the fishery in that part of the river now i dispute, at a rental of £ 2 a year. A number of yea Mr. Davies seized some nets and boats on the and brought the owners before him ( flit witness), as a magistrate, hut fhe affair was settled on the fishermen agreeing to let their nets remain in Mr. Davies's possession till the period of the year fixed for fishing by Sir Watkin should arrive. Cross- examined: He could not speak precisely to the part of the river spoken to hy Mr. Davies and Mr. Anwyl; hut lie believed Mr. Anwyl did not claim the fishery iu Machynlleth, in Montgomery shire, but that in Pennal river ( which branches into the Dovey), iu Merionethshire. Evan Harry, a carrier, saw Lewis Lewis fishing under the Doyev bridge, . with some tenants of the late Sir Watl^ iu's, sixty years since. Ten years since, he savv some fishermen fishing at { Vpnal bridge, with the tenants of Sir Watkin, Cross- examined : He did not remember whethe they were tenants or not who fished under the Dovey bridge 60 years ago. Catherine Grjjftths stated that hfr husband had rented for upwards of 38 years, ppder Mr. nvvyI, but he fished near Anwyl Park, and did not go up so high as Sir Watkin's fishery. Mr. TEMPLE, ably, and at great length, commented on the defendants' evidence, and tin the main, he conceived, it went in confirmation of the plaintiff ' s case. The defendants' witnesses had proved that Mr. Anvvyl had only let a fishery in the county of Merioneth, and by this action Sir Watkin only sought to establish his rights in the county of Mont gomery, where the fishery in question was situated. The CHIEF JUSTICE having recapitulated the evi- dence, the Jury retired for a short time, after whjeh they returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with One Shilling as nominal damages.

BUILDING SOCIETIES.— We have now twelve of these flourishing societies in the town, and buildings and dwelling houses are rising up iu all quarters with uncommon rapidity. The increase of houses does not, however, keep pace ' with the demands of an increasing population, for no sooner are the foundations, laid than there are a dozen applications for every house. The above twelve societies contain, upon an average, 200 shares each, the subscription upon each share is 10s per month, and they produce in the whole a clear capital of above £ 14,000 a year. This is a sur prising sum, when it is considered that the greater part arises from the savings of artisans and other persons employed in manufactures and trade.- Stockport Advertiser.

Interesting Anecdote of Sarkies Joannes, of Calcutta, an Armenian merchantWhen this great Armenian merpljant heard of the recovery of George the Third, in 1789, an event which qcca sioned great demonstrations of joy in India, he paid the debts of all the prisoners at that time in gaol, which so much pleased bis Majesty, that he sent him his picture in miniature, through Lord Corn wallis, who questioned the Armenian respecting the great affection evinced by him for the King of England, whom he had never seen. I have, my Lord," replied he, " lived under his government for thirty years; it has never injured me; but on the contrary, always afforded its protection : and this, with industry on my part, has enabled me to accumulate a very plentiful fortune." It is rather singular that the number of pounds weight of tea consuujed annually, and the number of bushels of malt consumed likewise annually, should now so nearly correspond;— the number of bushels of malt annually consumed not exceeding twenty- four millions and a half bushels. In other words, that the value of tea and barley consumed in the year exactly correspond;— « tnd that much money should be circulated iu tea as in barley.

THE LARC H.— Amongst the earliest planter of larch was the Duke of At hoi', who planted 20l>, 000 every year; and by a late account it appears,, that his Grace planted J, 102,367 in the winter of 1819 and the following spring. They were planted on 556 acres. His Grace has had the satisfaction of seeing a frigate of 36 guns built entirely of larch timber of his own planting. Tii 1787, and the follow- ing year, the Bishop of Llaudaff planted 48,500 larches on the high grounds near Ambleside, in Westmoreland. John Sneyd,. Esq. of Belmont, Staf- fordshire, planted 13,000 • larchts between 1784 and 1786, and 11,000 more in 1.795.

The late Earl of Fife planted 181,813 iu the county of Moray, in Scotland. In 1791, the Rev. Dr. Whitaker, at Holme, Lancashire, planted 64,135; and in the same year Thomas Gaitskell, Esq. of Little Braith- wait, in Cumberland, planted 43,300 on 15 acres of high land. The same spirit for planting ihe larch continues to the present time, and extends, to nil parts of the country where the land has not been thought more valuable for other purposes. In 1820, the London Society for promoting arts, & c. presented the gold medal to the Duke of Devonshire^ for planting 1.981,065 forest trees, 980,128of whidi ipere larch.— It is now calculated that the Highlands of Scotland will in the next age be able to furnish ihe whole commerce of the island with timber fur its hipping; and it iss. tijl fo he regretled that so much barren land should be suffered to remain implanted with this and other timber as we find in the counties of Kent, Sussex, and Hants ; all of which,. b, eing connected With some dock yard, ought not to lie useless to the community when the soil could be so advantageously employed - Plantations that are formed exclusively of larch destroy the hea": h and other vegetation ; but, after a few years, a fi/ ic grass springs up, which is so valuable for grazing,," that it has heen let at from ten shillings to five pounds per acre for this purpose, which, previous to its lining planted, would not bring as many pence. Sir John Hay, Bart, and the Duke of Atbol have had extra- ordinary instances of this advantage; but it is ob- served, that when Scotch firs or other trees- aye mixed in the plantations ibis benefit is not derived. The Hotly.— Mr. Evelyn informs us Lord Dacres had a park in Sussex environed with a holly hedge, so as to keep in any game; a, wA be adds, " 1 have seen hedges, or if you will, stout walls of holly twenty feet in height, kept upright, and the gilded sort budded low, and in two or three places one above another, shorn and fashioned into columns and pilasters, architecturally shaped, a « d at due distance; than which, nothing can possibly be more pleasant, the berry adorning the interco- lumniations with the scarlet festoons and encarpa„ v' The Magnolia.— His Grace the Duke of Rich- mond has two jif the finest standard magnolia gl'andiflora trees in this country, at his seat at Qoodwood in Sussex, one of which at six inches from the ground, girths three, feet one inch, and at fonr feet fi • om the earth, two feet five inches-, at about 5feet from the earth it divides into branches, forming a very beautiful head about twenty- three feet in height. The other is thirty five feet in height, and measures four feet iu circumference at fourteen inches from the ground: these trees flower abundantly every year. The time of their having been planted cannot be now correctly a^ f^ tainet^. CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.— VVheu Lord Chief Justice Holt presided in the Court of King's Bench, a poor decrepid old creature, equally bowed down with age, poverty, and infirmity, was brought before him, charged as a criminal, on whom the full severity of the law ought to he visited with exemplary effect. The terrors of impartiality never sat on apy Judge's brow with more impressive dignity or threatening aspect than on that of Judge Holt. The trembling culprit was overwhelmed with her fears. Tile charges were opened— 1' What is her crime!" asked his Lordship. Witchcraft." 44 How is it proved ?'* She has a powerful spell." u Let me see it." The spell was handed to the Bench ; it appeared a small ball of various coloured rags or silk, bound with threads of as many different hues; thfse werp unwound and unfolded, until there appeared a scrap of parchment, on which were written certain charac- ters, now nearly illegible from much use. 44 3s tlu$ the spell?" The prosecutors answered it was. The Judge, after looking at this potent charm for a few moments, addressed himself to the terrified prisoner. 44 Prisoner, how came you by this?" 44 A younw gentleman, my Lord, gave it to me to cure my child's ague." 44 How long since ?" 44 Thirty years, my Lord." 44 And did it cure her?" 44 Oh, yes, and many others." 44 I am glad of it." The Judge paused a few moments, and then addressed himself to the Jury.-— 44 Gent If men of the Jury, thirty years ago, I and some companions, as thoughtless ; is my- self, went to this woman's dwelling, then a public- house, and after enjoying ourselves, found that we had no means of discharging the reckoning. I had recourse to a stratagem. Observing a child ill of an ague, I pretended I had a spell to cure her. I wrote the classic line you see on a scrap of parchment, and was discharged of the demand on me by ( tie grati- tude of the poor woman before us, for the supposed benefit; nature, doubtless, did much for the patient, the force of imagination the rfst. This incident but ' II suits my present character and the station in which I sit, but to conceal it would he to aggravate the folly for which it becomes me to atone," The following is an anecdote of the first Lord Mansfield, which his Lordship himself told from the Bench : — He had turned off his coachman for cer- iain acts of peculation not uncommon in this class of persons. The fellow begged his Lordship to o- ive him a character.— kfc What kind of character can I you!" said his Lordship. 44 O, my Lord, any character your Lordship pleases to give me I shall most thankfully receive." Mis Lordship accordingly sat down, and wrote as follows:— 44 The bearer, John -•• has served me for three years iu the capacity of coachman. Me is an able driver, and a very sober man. I ^ discharged him because lie cheated me ( Signed) Mansfield."— John thanked his Lordship, and went off. A few mornings after- wards, when his Lordship was going through his lobby to step into his coach for Westminster Hall, a man in a very, handsome livery made him a low bow. To his surprise he recognized his late coachman. 44 Why, John ( says his Lordship), you seem to have got an excellent place ; how could you manage this with the character 1 gave you?" 4* O, my Lord ( says John), it was an exceeding good character; my new piaster, on reading it, said he observed your Lordship recommended me as an able driver, and a sober ipan. These ( says he) are just ihe qualities I want in a coachman ; I observe ( his Lordship adds) that he discharged you because you cheated him. Hark you, sirrah, I ' in a Yorkshiremait, aud I'll be if you cheat me."
